Nightingale more like nightmare fuel part 1 DPXDC 
They’ll be another part. This is also going to be posted on ao3
Danny been dead for a very long time at this point
hell CW stopped calling him young man and just started calling him King
And after you live this long, you get kind of bored so he decided to take on a challenge
He decided to live as a plain old boring human no psychic capabilities no magic no nothing
Almost all of his memories would be sealed away, only to be returned if CW decided two and only if it was going to be interesting
But it has to be a challenge so the goal is simple to survive past his 18th birthday which doesn’t sound that hard, right but in no life has Danny ever been able to make it past 18 still alive
So he did it he was born as a human
He was reborn as Daniel Kane
————————————————————————-
Danny is aware that he was raised very wrong. He is aware that he should’ve been taught language instead of body language.
He’s aware but he should’ve been taught to speak instead of how to hunt
He’s aware he should’ve been taught to read instead of how to kill
He’s aware that it’s wrong but also
He’s always enjoyed it because of this overwhelming sense of it’s not boring
Danny chases thrills he lives through the hunt for the fight. He doesn’t particularly care to kill.
And he would rather not see the pain on their faces before they die, but a little bit of bitter is worth it for the sweet taste of victory
He’s always enjoyed it because of this overwhelming sense of it’s not boring
————————————————————————-
Danny loves his older sister. He doesn’t get to see her often basically only during sparring sessions or meals
And unlike Danny Cassy hasn’t made been asked to kill anyone yet
But he knows it’s coming soon
Danny is younger than Cassy by two years. She’s almost 10. He knows she’ll be made to kill soon and he knows that she won’t be able to handle it.
Danny doesn’t understand why he can’t just do all the killing. It doesn’t bother him that much. He’s good at it.
He’s aware it’s probably going to happen tomorrow which means this meal is probably the last one he’ll ever have with his sister
And something about that seems ( so cruel and unfair and not again )
So Danny conveys as much love, and appreciation enjoy in their last meal together
Because what he’s about to do is going to get him killed probably
————————————————————————-
Two years later
Been almost 2 years since he seen his sister
His attempt on the old fart’s life didn’t go horribly, but it wasn’t successful but it sure was fun
He managed to play at office if he was just bored and wanted a mission so his punishment wasn’t that bad
But he was able to injure him enough that cassy was able to get away relatively unharmed
She didn’t even have to kill that man. He knew she was too soft for this kind of life.
He truly hope she’s OK now
He hope she got adopted by a nice family
Maybe she’ll get a new little sibling one that’s like her gentle and kind
Maybe she’ll get a good older sibling that protects her
He hope she gets a new hobby maybe dancing she always seemed her happiest when she was practicing. It always looked a great deal like dancing to him.
Cassy is his biggest regret in life. The only thing he doesn’t like about this life is that she suffered in it and he did not.
He hopes he gets to see her one day

Danny’s board
His missions are becoming less and less interesting
The old man is more and more focused on something else he doesn’t know what
But also, there’s not much more this old man can teach him
This old man’s looking more and more like a new hunting toy
As he stares at the back of the old man’s head, he decided to screw it and goes at
And grab one of his hunting knives
.
.
.
By the end of the fight, Danny’s lost his last baby tooth absolutely has a broken rib probably two broken ribs
And a absolutely heinous cut from the palm of his hand to his shoulder blade
But damn, that was the best fight of Danny’s life
————————————————————————-
Life after he killed the old man wasn’t exactly interesting, but it was different
He tended to his wounds like he’s been taught
(He did kind of miss the old man. He would’ve handled a couple of bruises on his back. It was one of the few kind things he would ever do. )
After that, he went exploring
He enjoyed looking around all the places that he had never been allowed to go
- [ ] There was a room with a lot of books Danny once again, curses ,the old man for never teaching him how to read then again he didn’t teach him how to speak so what can you expect?
- [ ] He eventually finds a room full of a lot of weapons he’s never seen or understood. most of them are entirely impractical four battle and look at this harness. You can’t even use it to carry a weapon or scale a building. It’s useless
- [ ] Hands up finding the food room for the preserve food enough to last him a good 6 to 7 months handy along for a great deal of water
- [ ] After a while, he finally managed to pick the lock on the old man’s bedroom. He never been allowed in there.
The old man’s room was weird. It had pictures of him and Cassy a pictures of a couple of people he didn’t recognize along with photos of him and Cassy throughout their training along with what must’ve been baby pictures of them
It was weird he didn’t think the man cared
As he keeps looking, he finds the old man safe along with a couple of really good weapons that he recognized
He also found a book with a really scary looking lock on it
And eventually, he looked in the closet and found the corkboard with lights and red string
It looks like he’s trying to figure out where Cassy went
He also found a tiny TV in there and laptop and phone, and this is where he keeps all electronics
————————————————————————-
It took him about two weeks before he started to miss him
It also took him about two weeks to learn, simple language that TV luckily had cable and he felt a little demeaning watching little kid shows, but he’s pretty sure he got the basics of the English language
Spelling was harder
Trying to figure out how to walk and talk like others wasn’t as hard as he thought. It was the grooming that was hard.
He didn’t have any typical children’s clothing, but stealing wasn’t very hard. He missed missions. He missed a simple company of another living being. He missed his big sister.
The old man wasn’t kind. OK sometimes he was, but Danny knows the few acts of kindness were nowhere near worth his life.
Danny knows better now that the old man was very very bad to him. Danny knows that it was the right decision to kill him but dammit Danny really did enjoy that old man’s company.
————————————————————————-
It took him another three months before he decided to leave
He took anything and everything that was valuable in the mess he hit around the city
The only things that weren’t particularly valuable that he took were the pictures of him and his sister and the picture of the woman that looked like Cassy and the picture of the woman with the same blue eyes as him
Along with the scary looking notebook, he still hasn’t figured out the lock on it, but he will
He knows being sentimental is not wise that it’s a good way to die but Danny can’t bring himself to do it so he hides away this couple pictures in his back pocket
He takes what he needs and he goes. He doesn’t have an exact plan of where he wants to end up yet, but he knows he wants to do something.

Far far away, a little girl with black hair and eyes meets the bat before she’s supposed to
And the timeline changes just a little bit more

Yo, I like this. I think it’s fun. I have no idea where to go with it though so any suggestions are greatly appreciated
Also, I don’t know much about David Kane. I think he’s an horrible person from what I know.
But I personally like to think that he’s a horrible person that did have some degree for love for those children. He’s just incredibly fucked up in the head. And that reads to him treating them horribly. I do not think there’s any hope for change for him either.
Thanks for reading. Here has a picture of a kitten. Add on if you want. Have a good day. 
I have just been made aware there are many grammar,  mistakes in here. I might come fix it later. We’ll see.
