[friendlynaborhooddisapointment]

I literally never write but batlantern was haunting me so I went prompt hunting and this one looks really fun!!! (ARE YOU KIDDING ME A DP X DC WITH DIVORCED BATLANTERN AND A SECRET LOVE CHIL-)

When returning home to earth, over the years Hal Jordan had developed a bit of a vague list of things to get done for his personal life. It wasn't a very concrete list and usually was done in the order that came to dick punch him first, but priority numbero uno (not withholding city destroying events and things alike) was getting himself some variation of big greasy burger combo times the biggest number he could afford without going broke. Space food had nothing on the over processed 7 dollar burger of home sweet home.

the last time he had returned to earth, Ollie had showed him this neat app u could download on your phone to get the nasty fast food right to your door. It was super great!!! He saw all the open places, how long everything would take, and wouldn't have to deal with some grump on the phone who would get his order wrong. If only he could figure out how to get it to charge if fucking credit card so he could actually get his food to his nice apartment with a TV that had shitty reality TV. he did not want to leave his shitty reality TV to get his food, but he couldn't figure out how this 'moogle pay' or 'apple card' thing worked he would be left with no choice.

Or maybe it did work because someone was buzzing his apartment, and who the hell would be buzzing him at 2 in the morning if not the delivery guy? Obviously, Hal buzzed him in. no time to waste, the food was here. Thank you weird delivery app recommendation from Ollie!!!!

Or it wasn't and it was his teenage nephew.

"Danny? What.." Hal began to question, but it fizzled away as Danny's apprentice settled into him. Danny was leaning on the door frame and supporting his abdomen in his arms. His face was gaunt and was twisted in a weird expression of pain that came when the pain was a little too much for too long and was becoming too exhausting to continue emoting. And he was bleeding. A lot. A terrifying amount. And green, the blood was.

Questions and explanations came later, Hal brought him inside and closed the door behind him. Now that they were inside, he could feel whatever was holding his son up evaporated and Danny slumped into him. Getting into the bathroom where the med kit wasn't difficult, but it was stressful. Hal had never seen Danny seem so... Danny was sitting on the bathroom floor, his eyes dropping a little as he watched Hal ripping open his med kit, pulling out bandages and disinfectant.

"Don't fall asleep on me Danny" His voice was strong, "keep putting pressure on that on your stomach while I get this ready" his tone was reassuring. Hals hands didn't shake. "Okay, I'm gonna wrap this up and then give a call and get someone to come finish up here."

Hal worked quickly to stop the bleeding. Danny looked a little bit more present now. He furrowed his eyebrows a little, in a way that made it seem like it was a very tiring expression to make. Hal put his palm flat against Danny's forehead smoothing out his brow, then gently carted away his sweaty bangs. Danny leaned into his hand, his eyes cloudy but more present. His mouth was pressed into a frown.

Hal was once again violently aware of how much blood was around him at the moment. He reined in his anger and picked up his phone and opened his contacts and called Ollie. He refrained from pacing as the phone rang, so he just stared at the marks of blood he left on his phone screen. The call cut out to voicemail. He hung up and called again. Who can he call? His civilian family couldn't really help with the whole stop making his son bleed in a more permanent way than taking him to the hospital and whatever had happened to his son screamed no hospitals. The other green lanterns didn't know much more than he did in first aid, and even if he did, they were off world. Dammit Ollie pick up. The same could be argued about Superman, so no for him too. Ollie was really starting to piss him off almost as badly as- Batman. Of course. That asshole was way too prepared for too much shit. He'd definitely be prepared for this.

Hal hung up with a quiet "fuck you too Ollie" for good measure and called The Batman.

On the second ring, Danny's head snapped up and Danny threw something green at Hal's phone that he barely managed to dodge. The phone clattered on the ground and continued to ring.

"Don't call mom!!!" Danny yelled as he tried to stand up. Hal reached for him to try to get him to stop moving, but Danny continued hysterically, "don't call mom! Please uncle Howie please don't call mom and dad" he sobbed into his uncle and that was around the time Batman picked up.

Hal registered Batman speaking something along the lines of this better be important Green Lantern, but Hal Jordan was not paying attention to that. Hal Jordan had the son he had trusted in the care of his sister falling apart in his arms bleeding to death begging not to what not return to his sister? What the fuck had happened to his son? And what the fuck had Maddison and Jack done?

He could hear batman on the phone say something, but he cut him off. "Batman I'm coming to Gotham with a civilian, I need a medic and secure location. Send me the coordinates" Batman was saying something else, but Hal reached for his phone on the ground and hung up.

He and Danny were both on the floor now. Danny's hysteria fading as he listened to the conversation. His eyes were wide and his mouth mouthing the words Batman. Hal griped Danny's shoulders, his expression stern, "I'm going to need you to explain all of that, but right now I need you to hold on tight and trust me".

Hal picked up his phone -batman had sent an address and coordinates- good and gripped his fist with the ring on it and became Green Lantern, taking himself and his son to Gotham City.

Danny was asleep in the bedroom of the safe house and batman and green lantern were sitting at his bedside eating burgers. Batman had gotten an 'acquaintance' of his, Leslie Thompkins to be at the safe house when they got there. Whatever Lessie needed to get done she got done quickly and returned to her clinic. By then Danny had fallen asleep and Batman had started demanding answers to which green lantern said "I'm not explaining shit till I get a burger" Green Lantern would have explained it any way but Batman’s demanding tone had pissed him off so he had said that. But to his surprise Batman had paused to study him, then quietly taken out his phone typed something in and passed it to Green Lantern to order, from the same. Stupid. App. Green Lantern added his order a little bit more aggressively then he needed and passed the phone back. They sat in silence until batburger arrived.

Hal (he had taken off his disguise to pick up the order and hadn't bothered to put it on again, what if Danny woke up? He was sure if Danny would remember the whole Green Lantern thing) bit into his burger and started explaining.

"This is my nephew Danny" He took another bite of the burger, "he came to my apartment like this, he wouldn't let me call his parents". Hal turned to face Batman, who hadn't moved since he began talking. Batman had thee burger in his hands, with only the initial bite he had taken from it there. He was studying the sleeping face of the boy. "That's all I know" he finished lamely.

Batman hummed. He stood up and made his way to the door.

"Where are you going" His tone was harsh, but it had no bite to it.

Batman turned to him, his hand on the door, "to find out" he replied. Hal watched him for a moment and felt something twist in his stomach. He gripped the edge of his seat. He jumped up and raced towards the other man before he left the apartment. "Wait" Batman stopped, his foot already halfway out the window. Hal picked up a pen he saw laying on the dining room table and ripped the receipt from their batburger order and started scribbling words down on the back of it.

"Here is some information that'll help get the small stupid stuff out of the way" he headed the list to batman. The list comprised of various names and places. "Like his hometown and stuff about my sister and her husband". He carefully folded the paper up and slipped it into his belt. He paused for a moment before speaking again.

"Thank you, I will find what happened. Contact me if anything changes here" and batman disappeared into the night.

My brain has decided to blend my two current hyper fixations!

Divorced Batlantern (before Hal became Lantern) with Trans!Hal and Danny being Hal and Bruce's kid. Hal wasn't in a good place to raise Danny so he gave him to his Cousin Maddie. Content with simply being odd Uncle Hal to his child. Only to be horrified when years later Danny shows up on his doorstop bleeding green and on the run from his adopted parents and the GIW.
