Overused Chapter Twenty Three

"Okay you remember if anything, anything at all, happens you just twist the ring like this," Eddy twirled the silver band on Danny's right ring finger clockwise, " and then we'll be there as fast as we can."

Danny grabbed Eddy's hands and brought them to his lips, kissing his knuckles sweetly. "Stop fretting so much. I know the plan inside and out, I'll get his attention with out grabbing anyone else's"

He didn't have to say the name to make sure Eddy knew whom he was speaking of. There was only one threat to the plan and hopefully if everything goes well, it would be the only threat.

Edward looked at him just for a short moment. Snappishly he leaned up and kissed Danny, his eyebrows knitting downwards as if he was in pain. It was painful though, he didn't know if this would be the last kiss.

He pulled away and to make the mood lighter he playfully pulled the ski mask resting on the top of his head over his face, keeping his identity safe.

His forehead was tangent to Danny's cloth covered one. The whispered words breathed out warm puffs of air against the other brunette's lips. "Don't you dare forget to signal us. Something might happen and I don't know what I would do if…God I cant even imagine him hurting-"

Danny didn't let him finish, instead, covering his pleading words with his mouth once more. His material covered nose tickled Edward's delightfully.

Joker and Harvey were in the front seats of the van, Jonathan in the back with Edward and Danny, fiddling with the electronic systems and blocking the sucking noises coming from the couple.

Harvey did the same and just ignored all the sounds they were making together. It was as if they were rubbing salt in an open wound.

The smaller of the two was eager for more, he was so enthusiastic about the kiss that he hadn't realized he had cornered Danny to the metal wall of the van.

Edward moaned loudly.

Make that salt, lemon, and acid.

They hadn't let go of each other till they were jerked slightly by the halting of the van.

Edward wiped the stream of Danny's saliva from the corner of his mouth, catching his breath at the same time.

"That's my cue. Besides you don't look as pretty when you worry." The back doors manually opened, a waft of cold wind blew through all their hair. He wrapped his hand around the wooden bat sitting by his thigh and slipped it into the backpack on his shoulders.

"All right Danny boy…you got the plan and everything so get out and tell bats I said hello." Joker kiddingly demanded from his position in the drivers seat.

Danny jumped out of the back, giving a soft smile to Eddy that told him everything would be okay.

Everything would be okay. Everything would be okay. Everything would be okay.

Edward repeated the words over and over, paying attention to each suffix, prefix, and root in the words to create his own advanced definition of each word.

It was a pleasant distraction from watching Danny speed off toward Wayne towers.

Danny reached the emergency exit using a crouched, but speedy pace. He looked up to see the black lens covered glass of a security camera staring straight at him.

Perfect.

He pulled his jacket apart from the zipper and slid a rectangular metal device out of the side pocket. He peeled off the glue-like tape on one side and in that instant slammed it on the exit's door.

He flipped a switch on the side of it. This would make him look like a massive threat to such an important building. He'll have the whole city's attention, and a certain City guardian.

Thirty seconds later the whole door exploded into large pieces of wood and clouds of dust. The dust swirled around his whole body, he barely had time to cover his mouth before he was sprinting inside of the alarm blaring building.

He could hear the shouts of the guards or policemen from behind him. He couldn't care which it was, the whole point was to get to the roof and cause as much of a ruckus as possible.

He took the baseball bat and swung it at every thing he saw. Computers, desks, papers, everything and anything went flying in shattered pieces.

He moved faster through the stairs, climbing with unbelievable stamina. He tiredly made it to the very top, using his shoulder to slate the door open.

He stopped at the edge of the rooftop, his head whipping in every direction around him. He heard the fluttering of a cape very briefly before he was knocked to the ground along with all the air in his lungs escaping.

His eyes finally stopped spinning and he could clearly make out the firm scowl on the Crusader's face.

"Wait! W-wait! I worked for Bolton!" Danny's words were so rushed that they mended together to make one incoherent sound.

But Bolton's name had made Batman's ears twitch and his eyes narrow.

He was introduced to a whole new more terrifying and intimidating face. Batman's breathing had begun to come out in angry pants and his frown only creased more of his face. His eyes were looking at Danny with an expression that made him think that he was actually about to get eaten by the crusader.

Bolton is definitely not on this guy's good side.

"What do you know about Bolton?" His voice betrayed his facial expression almost strangely. It had a warning and threatening tone, yet it was almost as if he was keeping his tone low.

"We know how to break into his base." Danny's face relaxed underneath the mask. His caramel plates also softened from his depleting anxiety.

"We?"

"I came out because it was too dangerous for the other four," He said as Batman helped him up to his feet, " because we need your help. You know Joker, Dent, Scarecrow, and uh Riddler." It was uncomfortable calling Ed by his alias. Riddler was a whole other entity that was not Edward.

Riddler was a villain and Ed is not. Simply put. The Ed he knew had a hidden innocence in him, almost cutely.

"Why should I trust you?" The Bat's rumbled voice pulsated through his thoughts.

"If they can trust me then I think it should be easier for you to do it."
