"Hi Danny, my favorite brother!" The strange girl said into her phone.
Dick was so concerned by this girl who immediately offered to help set his arm, but didn't know he was a hero. He was even more concerned when she said she would need to call her brother for advice. The long and gusty sigh that echoed from the phone at least matched his mood.
"Danielle, you never call me out of nowhere. What's wrong? Are you OK?" An equally young sounding voice sounded from the speaker. One far too young for the weight of exhaustion Dick could hear in his voice.
"Ugh. Fine. I need you to tell me how to set a broken bone."
"Ellie! Did you break a bone?" The boy's panicked voice came through layered over with a burst of static.
"Of course not silly! You know I don't have bones!" Ellie declared. Dick could only stare at her in confusion. There was also a long and agrieved sounding silence from the other person on the line.
"Then whose bone do you need to set? Am I on speaker phone?"
"Sure are!"
"Hello other person. What is broken and how broken is it?" Dick was again struck by how tired and already down this Danny sounded. Also who named their kids Danny and Danielle?
"Hi, It's my arm and not that bad?" Dick answered, hoping to move this conversation along.
"Is the bone sticking out?"
"... No."
"Thank the Ancients, I don't have to fly over to help. Ok Ellie, put me on a video call and I'll talk you through it..."
Dick then had the joy of experiencing one of the most surreal moments of his life as the mysterious Danny, who also didn't Nightwing as a hero and asked if his outfit was a parkour suit, directed his sister through who to set his broken bone, as well as bandage the rest of his injuries with a level of professionalism he usually only saw from Alfred. At no point during the call did Danny turn his own camera on.
Once Dick was in his pajamas (his domino still on) and fully wrapped up and bandaged, with his arm in a sling Danielle started looking around his apartment.
"Sooo.... Do you have anything other than dry cereal here? You don't even have any milk."
"Uh. I could order a pizza?"
Ellie immediately brightened, actually she almost literally brightened, but Dick was sure that was just his exhaustion.
"Oh great idea!"
Dick reach for his phone, confused about how and why he was no apparently playing host. Honestly the whole day had probably been a fever dream.
Dick had finally made it back to his apartment after a long night. One of the criminals he was fighting had distracted him long enough that two others had managed to jump him and break his arm. He was home now though, and he could set it.
Except he couldn't, because there was a little white haired girl rifling through his kitchen. Maybe he could convince her to leave without her noticing his arm.
