#gothamites: being a meta in Gotham is dangerous. look at this guy he got stabbed! sure as hell not gonna thow a bat at the poor kid

[warrior-komatsuhime]

Gothamites assume this random kid with a knife in his stomach is a meta and deciding not to call anyone about it. Because they know Batman has a no meta rule and this kid is just minding his own business so they don't want to make Danny's life any harder on top of being a teenager in Gotham with a stab wound.

And when the batfam just happen to run meet Danny at Batburger, they are very concerned about how not concerned this child is. Then Danny grabs his order and leaves. The bats try to follow Danny, but he straight up vanishes and they can't find him.

Danny, Jazz, and their parents all go to Gotham for some reason, most likely something sciencey or related to Jazz and college, IDC.

(Danny has only been in Gotham for a single afternoon and he’s already had 4 people attempt to mug him, almost been run over, and walked through what he’s pretty sure was a gang fight. But the weirdest thing that had to have happened to him so far has been the multiple random people keep giving him weird looks and asking if he’s okay way to often for Gotham don’t-trust-people City. It must be his Fenton luck.)

After all the randomness Gotham throws at Danny he like most teenagers exhausted and hungry late at night goes to get fast food. He walks into Batburger (it’s a Gotham staple he wants to know how it compares to the Nasty Burger) and the cashier stares at Danny as he orders like 12 peoples worth of food for him and Jazz.

The cashier, a literal midnight shift customer service worker asks Danny if he’s okay. Danny even more annoyed about people asking that just let’s put an exaggerated sigh and says something about being “Just tired and hungry.” The cashier, who is not paid enough for this drops it, rings Danny up, and gives him a order number.

Danny’s order takes a while so he just leans on a wall and surfs the web, maybe messages Jazz or Sam and Tucker. Just vibes, leaning on the Batburger wall.

Eventually some of the bats shows up mid patrol to get something to eat and all pause in the doorway. Causing Danny to look up from his phone and see all of them looking right at him. Danny an annoyed teenager just asks them what they’re looking at.

One of them breaking out of the awkwardness asks Danny if he’s okay. Danny who’s been asked that 15+ times in the last 45 minutes just yells “Why do people keep asking me that?!?”

One of the bats responds with something like “… because you have a knife in your stomach.”

Danny looks down and sees that yes he does have a knife in him and just didn’t notice it. His only response is along the lines of “Oh, I liked this hoodie.”

The bats are thinking this kids in shock or something and Danny’s just thinking now he has a free knife because it’ll be healed in a day or so.

Danny order number gets called, he gets his food, and he just walks away ghosting the concerned bats.
