We're all bad in someone's story

Danny woke up for once feeling rested like he had actually gotten a full night's sleep. He rolled over and blinked his eyes open just to jump out of bed not recognizing the room he was in. He looked around and recalled that he was currently with the Harley Quinn who also happened to be his birth mother and Poison Ivy. He could smell something cooking so after going to the bathroom and finding a toothbrush he left the room. He found Harley cooking while Pamela sat on the counter talking softly to her. He caught the last bit of the sentence but knew she was concerned about the Batfam because they had been searching for him.

Harley frowned up at Pamela and said, "I just think he would be safer with us instead of Bats." We know how Joker operates. Besides he tries to touch my boy again I'm gonna...... She glanced up and spotted Danny giving him a bright grin. Hey sweetheart, are you hungry?"

Danny gives her a soft smile and nods. He glances at Pamela and says, "good morning, thank you for letting me stay here last night."

Pam smiled back at him and looked at Harley "ow, we should keep him, he actually has manners."

Danny shook his head. "I think I should try to get in touch with Batman. I need to know that my family is okay."

Harley reached out and ruffled his hair. "Don't worry sweetheart, the big bad bats already moved them. I checked in on it this morning."

Danny gave her a genuine smile grateful then frowned. "what's going to happen to me and my family? I can't go home, can I?

Harley's heart ached for her boy, because he was right. Being on Joker's radar meant he would never really be safe, and neither would the people he cares for. Thinking about it made Harley remember she had a prison guard to talk to. She must have a crazed look on her face because Danny shuffled back a few feet. Harley took a deep breath determined to let it go. At least while her boy was here, and she could finally get to know him. "Alright! How do you feel about pancakes and bacon?"

"Great as long as they don't come to life and try to eat me back."

Harley raised an eyebrow while Pam looked at him with a blank face.

Danny gave a nervous chuckle and rubbed the back of his neck. "I love pancakes my sister used to make them for me all the time."

Harley smiled "your sister? what about your mom?"

Danny shook his head. "Mom and Dad are pretty obsessed with their work. It was just me and Jazz sometimes. She's always looked out for me though."

Harley smiled back at her boy but couldn't help what conclusions she was coming to. She was a trained phycologist after all. Harley just tilted her head to the side and gave a noncommittal hum to keep Danny talking.

"Yeah, Jazz is great, and I have two best friends Tucker and Sam. Sam is the one that loves plants and won't eat anything with a face. Tucker loves tech. My parents are scientists, so yeah, they uh work a lot." Danny seemed to realize he was rambling and trailed off, looking a little uncomfortable.

Harley smiled big and clapped her hands trying to lighten the mood. "Well, alright let's eat and talk about our next move."
