Danny goes to a new School

So! When Danny got expelled from his High School, it wasn't really a big Suprise. He had missed for too many days or just walked out in the middle of Class, and his grades were lower than anyone else in the school. It was just a matter of time really.

When confronted by his Parents, he had just claimed that it was the constant ghost attacks getting to him (not a total lie) and that he was sorry.

Well, his parents tried to help.

After hearing about his supposed Fear of Ghosts, they decided that it was a good idea for him to go to school somewhere outside of Amity Park, so he could focus on his Schoolwork and not be distracted by the constant Attacks.

Of course no School wanted to accept a problem student like Danny, so they were forced to look into alternative schools to find one that would accept him. And they did! So they had Danny pack his bags, promise to call regularly, and shipped him off to his new School.

HIVE Academy.

The Titans/Heroes when they find out WHY he's going there. (Aka. Small Town Hero was kicked out of School for missing classes.)

*Titans:* You don't have to go there, there's this better School. And you don't even have to worry about class schedules, the adult heroes will help you figure that out.

*Danny wondering where they were when he got his powers/BEFORE he was expelled:*

I'm good here, thanks.

Danny: Would these be the same heroes that are obligated by government law to turn me over to be vivisected?

The Titans: They fucking WHAT 👀

Robin: That violates, like, ALL of the meta protection laws!

Danny: Not if you're dead and/or affected by ectoplasm 😁

Cyborg: Ectoplasm?! Ghosts aren't real!

Danny: I've heard the Evil Government Scientists call it "Lazarus water", too

Robin: 👀👀👀👀

Titans: Why are you doing this??

Danny: Extra credit :)

Titans: ???

Danny: Look, when you're a small town vigilante forced to attend supervillain school, you need all the extra credit points you can get

Titans: ?????????

Danny could totally attack GiW bases with the rest of his study group under the excuse of wanting to crush the competition

The rest of his study group isn't totally convinced that Danny is evil but he's clearly chaotic enough on top of

- be able to repair or improve their equipment on the fly on the battlefield

-be good at hiding if things get out of hand and then free them AND can drive almost any vehicle for their escape AND loyal enough to do it!

-is a good cool-headed support shooter but is also surprisingly good at dodging or taking melee hits

So even if Danny is not a big evil mastermind, his whole group is aware that he is a valuable ally to keep at their side so if to keep him happy they just have to blow up meta racist assholes, the question to do or not doesn't even arise

Once he trusts his study group enough, Danny can truthfully bring up all the anti-Phantom propaganda and go "Yeah, I'm totally a villain, see? Even my parents shoot at me in public!" 😃

The study group: 👀👀👀

The study group: For a totally unrelated reason, can we go rob your parents' house?

Danny: Oh yeah sure, I did that all the time! Buncha mad science weapons and stuff in there. Hey, think we could steal their hell portal too?

The study group: 👀👀👀... that sounds AWESOME!

Another undead Fenton?!

The Fenton family has had an extremely eventful time as of late.

First, Jack and Maddie found out that their son was a half-ghost, meaning they had to go back and correct years of research on ghost sentience.

Then they found out about his clone/sister Dani, whom they of course took in (after tearing Vlad a new one and starting his path to improvement (and becoming the family’s weird uncle)).

And then Clockwork showed up with a redeemed version of Dan, giving them a fourth kid.

And then Danny found out that Vlad’s other clones of him had reformed in the zone as baby half-ghosts, meaning the Fentons were adding yet more undead kids.

But surely that was the end, right? There were no other clones of Danny, no major alternate timelines to pull from.

That was the end, right?

Nope!

One day their portal suddenly flared and yet another undead kid emerged to join their family.

He was in terrible condition, but by now they were well used to treating the undead. And by the time he recovered and introduced himself as Jason Todd, they already considered him another addition to the Fenton family, even if he wasn’t theirs by blood.

Talia in Nanda Parbat, waiting for Jason to come back up. She needs him to be well enough to send t Gotham. Damian's place by his Father's side requires his actions. But his mindless body refused to come out. Talia having to come up with twenty more plots.

Meanwhile? Jason is being adopted after apparently falling out of ten Fenton's portal? All of their kids are at least death touched? Ok. Sure, they are really nice. Plus, he does not want to go back to Gotham while Joker lives. That's just a terrible idea. When he tells Jack and Maddie about Joker? They get a hard look in their eyes. Gather t kids up. Give all of them a hug and a kiss on the fore head.

"Well kids! We have a job that's taking us away for a bit. Be safe while we're gone. There's money in the jar for takout. You all have Vlad's number of you need an adult. See you soon!"

Two weeks later and they are watching the news when Maddie and Jack come back. Only to get a breaking news bulliten about the extremely brutal murder of the Joker . Jazz and Danny, the ones who the most experienced with their parents just sigh.

Jazz: Please tell me there were no witnesses?

Maddie: Of course not! We're not amateurs Princess!

Jason: ... I love you guys so much!!!!

And when Joker comes back as a ghost, they capture him in a thermos and keep him there.

But what about the, “whoever kills the Joker, becomes him” thing? Is it halved between Maddie and Jack? Do they just get more frenzied around ghosts?

Is there even any noticeable difference?

Jack and Maddie had a simple solution to that. They asked one of Joker's victims to overshadow them so it's not Them to take the (assumed) curse. And when the Joker dies the Victims can pass on.

After cleaning the Fentons of any chemicals they didn't have at the start at least

... Jason is eventually going to want to go shout at Bruce. He let another kid be Robin. without even breaking the Jokers spine to make him less of a threat. Fenton family trip to Gotham baybee!!

Additional idea?

Let Jay team up with his new siblings.

Specifically?

Since he may not be any kind of halfa here, let them at least partially overshadow him to share their powers.

Why?

So when he shows up, he's there to shout at Bruce as a ghost of his younger, dead, self. Fully with Ghostliness, intangibility, floating, see thru and dead looking, sounds weird...

At least insofar as they can fake. Might need one of the scrawnier sibs to pretend to be Robin-Jay.

Still. Sounds cathartic.

Plus he can still go back later to yell the boring normal way if he wants. Maybe with zombie makeup.

Jazz sits and weighs the benefits of this. Like, will this be actually good for Jason vs the harm it will cause Mr Wayne. Not that he doesn't deserve SOME hurt. But actual psychological damage? Bit different.... While she's plotting out the pros and cons it is too late, they are GONE. Tim is stood there horrified as the ghost of Robin turns up and shouts at Bruce for letting another kid go out there. While not taking care of risks to his life. When Tim tries to defend this by saying he blackmailed B? Jason and siblings decide Tim clearly needs better parents. Theirs now.

Tim is firmly against this plan of adoption (which is only told to him when he is most of the way back to Amity and they only tell him because he will not stop trying to escape) claiming that Batman NEEDS a Robin or he’ll get himself killed. Unfortunately for Tim, Jazz has finally joined the group now that she caught up with them way too late, and is now going on a rant about how kids shouldn’t have to take on the responsibilities of adults and also, how did your parents treat you Tim? Jazz is trying to do therapy, Tim keeps arguing that Batman needs someone to take care of/someone who will take care of him. But.

At this point they’ve made it back to the Fenton house. And Jack and Maddie are very intrigued by this Batman character their new kid is talking about. Needs to be taken care of and have someone he can take care of huh? We have plenty of kids, he could help out around the house. Sounds like a perfect plan!

The Fenton parents and a few clones as black-haired blue-eyed bait go to collect Batman. He’s theirs now too.

While that image is great? I feel like they are busy focusing on the kids right now. Tim and Jason have so many issues to work on. Batman is an adult, he can suffer a bit longer. The Maddie gets a glint in her eyes. Calls up Vlad. "You know that favour you owe me for how you hurt my kids? Time to pay up!" Vlad is sensibly dubious about this. Him? Are you sure? Yes, she is actually. You see , from what Tim says? You as a rogue who is trying to do better? Repenting for his sins? Are perfect! You see he has this thing about it! Get your crazy ass to Gotham, throw yourself at him wailing about the wrongs you committed, and beg or him to "help turn to a better path". Plus! You always did have that competence kink! Might even get yourself a partner out of it!

EVEN BETTER.

VLAD ACQUIRED BATMAN THEYRE A GREAT PAIR OF PARANOIA SASS AND BULLSHIT

Yup, Bruce loses Tim but gains Vlad. He isn't at all aware of how this happened. Why does he have this, mess of a being throwing themself at him? Alfred! Help pry him off.

I honestly think the Fenton's and Tim stick around for a bit just to watch this go down. Batman's new side kick? top tier comedy. When Maddie set Vlad on Bruce she really hit the jack pot. (The Justice League are deeply concerned by Batman's new side kick. Also highly relieved he sought Batman and not them. )

I gotta know what Vlad's Totally Not Evil Anymore I Swear sidekick name would be.

And I also want to know how long it would take before Blade tries to stake him as a vampire 😈

DP X DC Prompt #91

AU where Jack is the one to activate the portal. Maddie sees and the general Bad Reveal tropes happen.

Jack runs to Gotham as his powers start to manifest.

@evilminji @hdgnj @itshype @dragonsrequiem

@thatrandomsarahchick @spidori

@stealingyourbones (I usually don't ping you but I'd love to see your thoughts about this!)

Maddie screamed with her husband as the portal opened. He had walked in to check the wiring. Just to check the wiring, now? Now he was dying in front of her eyes. Dying in great pain while there was nothing she could do. Her babies were losing their Dad, and it was all her fault. Her lungs were burning, chest too tight to breathe. Maddie fell to the ground barely feeling the pain on impact. No, the pain in her chest was too much to notice that.

Yo! This is amazing! I wonder how much of the Fenton stuff they take with them?

So, I was thinking like, the PC hard drive. Danny has JUST realised his parents are like... Actual mad scientists? How.. How legal was their work? Making a portal is bad enough, Danny just never thought it would work ya know?

I'm guessing this happens in the vehicle, and Jazz is driving. I wonder where/when Jack starts manifesting powers? Also who his first ghost he meets is, because the portal isn't open

Deadman goes to scope them out for the Justice League and Jack is the only one who can see him.

The guy that saved the Waynes? His name is Daniel Fenton, apparently. A freelance engineer who has one of the most brilliant mind in the world. The guy have been partnering with WE and especifically Bruce Wayne for a long time now!

That last part tracks as the guy fretted over the grown adults and kids alike as if they were his children. And cupped BRUCE WAYNE’S cheek like a lover would!!! AND THE BEST PART??? THEY GUY FOUGHT THE ROGUES EXPERTLY. USING GADGETS.

JUST LIKE BATMAN!!!!

AND EVERYONE KNOWS BATMAN IS DATING BRUCE.

It was simple to connect the dots really. This Danny guy obviously had a mutual romantic relationship with Bruce Wayne. And Bruce Wayne is dating Batman. WHICH MEANS……

DANIEL FENTON IS BATMAN!!!!

That’s right guys. Batman’s identity is FINALLY revealed!!!!

Bernard Dowd ghost wrote this

Write below a Batfamily meets Danny Fenton story but choose the wildest relationship that you can think of that isn’t adoption or a romantic relationship

For instance:

- breaking into a building for a drug bust but they got the wrong building number and broke into Danny’s apartment.

- gets met over and over because Condiment King of all people continuously kidnaps him for plots

- was brought to the GCPD for wrestling Killer Croc at 3am high as a kite over a new fear gas drug that’s been making its rounds through Gotham.

- accidentally smacked the coffee out of Danny’s hands while catching a perp.

Instead of a bat, Danny crashes through Bruce’s window while Bruce was coming up with his alter ego, thus preventing Bruce from thinking of “Batman”

What did Bruce come up with instead? Hell if I know

Bruce pulls a Tim and stalks Phantom until Danny agrees to take a sidekick. They become known as Phantom and Inviso-Bill.

Dani, staring at the JL: ... The JL, staring back: ... Batman: We can't let you continue like this. Dani: I didn't know! Batman, squinting: J'onn, keeping the straightest of thoughts as he listens to THEY SMELLED DELICIOUS AND I WOULD EAT THEM AGAIN IN A FUCKING HEARTBEAT JUST WATCH ME at the loudest of volumes directly in his head: Her thoughts are just so indistinguishable. There is no other explanation. This is biological confusion of instinct.

Later on Dani wandered up to J' inn when they were alone.

Dani: Why did you lie?

J'onn: Hmm... In my time you would have been a war hero.

Dani: Good to know. I bet it's real easy to read my thoughts?

J'onn: Yes, very. Your mind moves very quickly however. So I have to pay attention to parse out the meaning.

Dani: I wonder what my template would be like for you to meet! He's even more exaggerations than me! Also, if you ever have other snacks you can't be seen to be involved in, call me! I'll eat em!

I kinda want Dani to have a culinary travel blog where she tests classic things but also very weird stuff and that's how she let -the world know- to the Justice League that she had eaten this parasites. she even pinned the location of the lab

Danny shows up in her videos sometimes and they have competitions in who can eat the weirdest thing. Or eat fastest. Or spicyest etc.

So the Justice League find out about him through watching he videos and are horrified. There are two of them? What can the not eat? Turns out not a lot. Danny seems fine of eating metal. Ellie prefers rocks. Apparently their fangs itch and the textures help.

J'onn, you collect them please? We can't stand to watch the horrors. She liked you right? Hopefully he will as well!

Danny is of course ecstatic to meet J'onn. AndJ'onn gets hit with the joy and excitement full force. He has never been so flattered in his life.

and then he finds out the siblings? Can shape shift to a degree? With their other powers? He wants them to let him train them. Danny and Ellie are so excited!

J'onn now had his favorite cleanup crew on speed dial.

J:Phantoms i just apprehended Luthor but it appeared he has collected more kryptonite mind disposing of it?

Double D's:Heck ya free snacks. See this is why you're the best on the league, awsome alien and snack man.

Bruce stood to one side, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"J'onn, stop feeding evidence to the ghost menaces."

J'onn who definitely did not do that sir, nope never...

"I make no promises. My mentees eat what they please..."

See Batman is not really upset that J’onn is feeding them stuff. No the issue it is that he is not documenting it first. If you want to feed them stuff first log it into evidence then allot it to the exotic material disposal. I updated the forms to include this. Just check it off before feeding it to your gremlins. We need to maintain chain of custody.

Clark to one side looking horrified. Bruce, what do you Me a you updated the forms? Bruce, Bruce no. Don't encourage this behaviour! Bruce why?!?! Ellie and Danny hear the paperwork now includes them as disposal method and grin. Amazing. Batman! B! Papa Bat! (You have several children, this makes you a Papa. Not OUR Papa mind. But A Papa) what else needs disposing of? We are happy to munch for science! Where's Red Robin. He'd film is eating random shit for the fun of it, never mind to test what we can actually eat!! J'onn just smiling to one side. Ahh teens. Don't worry Clark! At least it isn't Tamaranean food!

Dani: *malicious gremlin grin* I know how to change your mind ~

Clark: 👀

*ten minutes later*

Lex Luthor: Not so fast, Superman! *goes to pull something out of his suit's inner pocket* This Kryptonite will-

*it is not kryptonite. it is Dani, ravenously gnawing a suspicious green ring off of Lex's finger. Lex tries to shake her off and she cackles playfully*

Dani: Your kryptonite Ring Pop is now ALL MINE! 😈

Lex: WTF WTF GET IT OFF MEEE 😭

Tim strikes me as petty enough to coordinate this with Danny just to mess with Dick.

Jon Kent, current Superman and son of the ORIGINAL Superman, may have just panicked and done something stupid.

Ghosts are, apparently, not sentient in the eyes of the government.

Ghosts are, apparently, actively hunted by the government.

His new buddy Phantom, who helped him fight off Metallo, is actually a legitimate ghosts, and now there's a lot of weapons pointed at him.

Jon, unable to really see straight anymore, maybe, perhaps, just a little bit, panics.

"You can't shoot him, he's my pet!"

The GIW agents freeze.

"He's your what?"

"I'm your fucking what?"

Jon needs to stop talking.

Jon does not stop talking.

".....Pet. Pet's don't have to be...be sentient. Like rocks. Pet rocks."

Everyone is staring at him. He needs to clarify that he's bad at coming up with excuses and tell Phantom to run.

Instead, his concussed brain makes him reach out a hand and grab Phantom's sleeve.

"Mine. No takey."

Phantom has gone from looking outraged to concerned.

"You can't-!"

"No, no, it's true. Also; we're late for walkies." Phantom says, giving a nervous fake laugh as he moves closer and holds Jon up. This is a good thing, because Jon isn't too sure he should be standing anymore.

"But pet rocks don't need to be taken for walks?" One of the agents asks, bewildered.

"No, moron, it was an example." Another agent snaps, thumb blurring as he scrolls through his phone.

"Can a ghost go for a walk, or does it just float? Like a balloon." A third wonders, gun lowering.

Phantom takes advantage of their confusion and hoists Jon in the air and through multiple buildings, making them intangible.

Jon stops paying attention after the fifth one.

He decides to take a short little nap instead.

Jon:

Hey, everyone knows you don't mess with a Kryptonian once they have decided on something. Be it their emotional support human or in this case emotional support ghost. Just look at Superman and his emotional support Batman. Superboy and his emotional support Red Robin. Come on guys you can see a pattern starting to form. Be glad he chose a ghost and not the extra stabby newest Robin.

I want Danny to find this so very funny and immediately ready to rub it in the GIW face on his sudden very public immunity. What is that? You can't say it is illegal for me to be a pet if I don't have sentience. What you going to do admit that you know ghosts have sentience and the horrible things you are doing? It is win win for him and he so ropes in the rest of the Supers and Bats into it. They will be working on getting the laws revoked and burning everything to the ground once things are in place. Till then Danny get one of those little vests hunting dogs wear to keep from being mistaken for a deer during hunting season. Only in neon green with a ghost on it.

Danny visits Oa during a sightseeing tour of the galaxy and intrigues the Guardians of the Universe

He gives them a very old, ancient, nearly falling apart with age note when asked if he has permission to be there. It is the one Clockwork gave him saying some people owe him a little favour and to show it if asked. Danny does not know that he basically just offered up a document that is older than most of the buildings of the city and written by some of the founders of it. One that is said to exist as a treaty with an ancient ally that has not been seen for thousands of year. It is old enough that the language it is written in is extinct of native speakers and only the written form still exists.

Danny is too excited about Clockwork letting him go out in SPACE to explore and meet with actual ALIENS to really pay attention to the minor details. Like how he is sort of really been given the job of visiting diplomat by Clockwork. Nope, not going to pay attention to that. Going to shove it to the bottom of his bag just like the ring of rage and crown of fire that keeps showing back up. If he had to explain to the observants one more time that he is not going to take the throne he will dump glitter on them again.

OMG. Imagine if Danny accidentally convinces the entire green lantern core that he’s like, the source of their ring power. He can create and manipulate the green energy constructs without a need of a ring and he can even manipulate other lantern’s constructs. And the rings (which are triggered by emotion and will) keep resonating with the strange being. Oa is trying to translate the note he gave them and after identifying that it’s legit, they find out about the ‘alliance with an ancient being’ and assume this must refer to Danny (is there a translation error there somewhere or does the note just not mention clockwork?) Danny’s title as the guardian of balance and protection isn’t helping. (Which he might have been obligated to introduce himself as?)

And Danny just like, accidentally gives all the lanterns an identity crisis because it’s like flipping everything they knew on its head. Does this mean all rings come from a specific ancient being?! Are there others? What happens if this being decides to break off his ‘alliance’ or if he gets captured or injured. Will that affect their powers?

I also feel like I should mention that Vlad’s energy contracts are Pink and he does everything he does to win the love of Maddie.

Danny as the next incarnation of Ion, he doesn't know it yet but he might if he hangs around the Green Lanterns long enough.

Kyle meets him and is like "he's familiar, I've never met this guy but he just feels like I know him already"

it doesn't help that Ion is like a big green glowing space whale shark looking thing and Danny has his wispy tail going on, it's not that much of a stretch, right?

Vlad as a Star Sapphire though… does he get one of those sexy, revealing outfits?

1.) The green energy is willpower and in some AU’s ghosts are built out of emotions, if Danny is made out of willpower in this AU it could be something super fun to see.

2.) Vlad 100% gets a scantily clad outfit. Him being a lantern of love scorned is perfect for his character I love it.

Me: Sends funny little haha comment

Me later, seeing the funny little haha comment be mentioned in the thread: HUH.

What if Clockwork had the treaty due to powering the Lanterns until Ion/Phantom was reincarnated?

All the Lantern Corps are powered by the Emotional Spectrum. Ghosts are made of and powered by emotions, willpower, and ectoplasm.

Can ghosts feed off Lantern energy and grow stronger? Can they manipulate or eat Lantern constructs? Can a ghost hungry enough for power drain the personal Lantern batteries?

Are the Emotional Spectrum Entities that power the Corps' Main Batteries actually Ancients that formed outside the Infinite Realms?

I also gotta wonder where the Black Rings come into this.

Maybe Somebody *cough* Pariah Dark *cough* was Extremely Wary of the massive group of Powerful Former Space Cops who look Askance at the things Pariah Dark does for fun, like Death, Destruction, and Driving Drunk.

Maybe Pariah intended the Black Rings to keep the Lantern Ghosts subdued, only the Rings were either ineffective against unbodied ghosts and/or "misplaced" in the Living Realms.

Maybe the Lantern Ghosts helped depose & imprison Pariah Dark??

Dan, redeemed but still with a chip on his shoulder, is on a mission.

Getting shoved into a teenage version of his body had been annoying. Growing up again had been a pain.

But.

He'd made it.

He's now an adult at the mature age of twenty, has the same terrifying stature his ghost half has, and has decided what he wants to do with the next few years of his life, at least.

He's going to confuse Batman.

See, when Dan had destroyed the world in his own timeline, there were two heroes that posed actual problems for him; Batman and John Constantine.

Of those two, Batman had been the worst.

He'd been the hardest to get rid of, stuck around the longest, and came up with a contingency that had damn near actually taken Dan out.

To be fair, Constantine had gotten way closer to deleting Dan's existence, but that had been more of a one and done fight, not a million annoying little things.

Batman had been a thorn in his side so much that even redeemed, Dan still has a grudge against him.

But.

He knows who Batman is.

More specifically, he knows who Batman's butler is, and that man is the picture definition of "overworked". Said butler also, sometimes, bemoans taking care of such a large Manor by himself on a forum just for Butlers.

A forum Dan has been frequenting, replying to those complaints and slowly endearing himself to Mr. Pennyworth. Exchanging tips. Getting advice on how to Butler. Talking about not really getting a chance to apprentice because people are "scared" of him.

(Okay so that one is true, Dan's got a plan and he wants to do it well, but there's literally no rich person that would hire him as an intern Butler. They all say he's too "intense" or whatever.)

When Oracle had traced back to Dan's computer, she'd only found normal usage and nothing suspicious. Because that was what that computer was used for, and only that.

When Mr. Pennyworth had finally asked if Dan would like to train under him as a replacement, Dan had taken a long while to stop laughing.

Dan, built like a competitive weight lifter and taller than Superman, shows up at the steps of Wayne Manor fully prepared to Fuck With Batman.

~~~~~~

Alfred's apprentice is freaking Bruce the hell out, and it's getting to the point where he's not afraid to acknowledge that.

#but i want a huge beef muscle wall being the intern butler#dan only intends to stay long enough to drive bruce up a wall#ends up staying longer#cass adores him right off the bat#she can tell he's playing and she thinks it's funny#dan is the only household worker to never get kidnapped#kidnappers take a look at him and just turn around#nope#nah#not doin it#dan is intentionally creepy as fuck around bruce#slowly driving his paranoia levels through the roof#one time a villain finds out and attacks the manor#he gets as far as dan's hand#as in dan places a hand on his head and casually describes in visceral detail the sound human heads make when crushed#bane end up facing off with dan and dan just says “oh i remember YOU. let's have some fun again.”#gets scolded afterwards for getting blood on his suit by alfred#“if you are going to lay down the law please keep in mind that clean well fitted clothes are a gift. treat them accordingly.”#“sorry Alfred.”

Look, Alfred needs him. Needs the help. Is in fact, the BEST old man to ever old man. Out here validating Dan's petty actions. Definitely knows Dan is doing this on purpose. But the young Masters and Misses like him. He does a good job. Good apprentice through and through. Besides, Master Bruce needs to be humbled now and again. It's good for him. His apprentice shall stay right where he is thank you very much.

Cass has decided that dan is her blorbo, actually, and spends as much time perched on one of his shoulders as she can get away with. (Dan pretends he doesnt like the attention.)

Damian has tested dan's reflexes and situational awareness and has determined that he is a worthy battle butler. (Dan thinks damian is an adorable little murder child.)

Jason took one look at dan, turned around, and walked away. He is now haunted night and day by some white-haired green eyed eldritch girl that claims to be dan's sister. (Dan took one look at jason's whole thing and decided it was above his paygrade, so he sicced dani on him to help filter out the weird ecto infection he's got.)

Stephanie spent every spare moment she had for a solid two weeks pestering dan, asking a million questions and annoying the hell out of him. Then she just... stopped. (Dan figures he passed some sort of bullshit detection test.)

Duke avoids dan almost as much as bruce does, because he's 'hard to look at.' (Dan would be offended if he didnt already know the twerp could se his ghost aura.)

Tim is convinced that dan is a demon of some sort. The only reason he hasnt confronted dan is because cass is utterly convinced that he's "reformed," whatever that means. (The fact that dan can drug tim's sealed energy drinks to knock him out has not helped in this matter.)

Dick acts like he's blissfully unaware of anything weird whatsoever, but the way he hovers gives away how acutely aware he is of each and every one of his younger siblings' concerns. (The hovering toned down quite a bit after that one time dan thwarted a kidnapping attempt on one of dick's precious baby siblings by merely entering the room and glaring down the perpetrator.)

The tags are delicious

So basically a literal Battle Butler 😂 I love that

Alfred pulls out the specific bullshit forms needed for that to be his work title. He is encouraging this, no matter how much Bruce despairs over it. Does Bruce appreciate that his kids haven't been kidnapped in 6 weeks? Yes. He just wishes Dan fucking Masters wasn't the damn reason. Cass, please get down from his shoulders. C'mon, you know this isn't appropriate. Dan why are you allowing this? Dan is never going to admit it out loud. But Cass doing this? Just like Ellie. It's a nice reminder of home and family, all the good things he has.

Tim whom is still banned from caffeine went into looking into other ways to get caffeine.

He went into anonymous source from someone name KingTuck4ever who talk about a energy drink that kept him up for weeks during a critical time of his life and Tim was at this point of desperate to spend any time of money he got.

Later that night, he received 6 very large Dark green boxes with a DP logo on it filled with Lightening Green tall soda cans with the name Ecto-Spark!, ingredients tags on the back, made with organic vegan products, DO NOT NEAR MEAT RELATED PRODUCTS, guaranteed to keep you caffeine deprived souls awake and alive enough to enjoy a night afterlife party! Or your money back.

Tim at the point didn't read the back as he pop open the top, smelling a strong scent of caffeine, carbonated bubble and a taste of lemon lime mixed with a tang flavor that had his mouth drowning nearly in drool.

He took only one experimental sip, before his eyes widen instantly and immediately began chugging the soda can for all the liquid caffeine it had inside. This was 1000 times better then Death Coffee Cup from his favorite Cafe that he was still banned from.

It felt like his whole body got electrified with energy and feel like he can run a whole 4 week marathon without breaking a sweat. This drink was like tasting nirvana after a week of being in a Gobi desert for his fucking soul.

.....

.....

.....

Bruce can never know about this. He can't tell anyone about this drink. Not Damian, Not dick, not step, maybe Jason, but Cass can kept a secret since she knew body language. He might possibly go rogue and kill Bruce himself if Bruce tried to take this from him.

Meanwhile Tucker was amazed of the total amount of money he received from the anonymous Caffine obsessed ghost. Usually he ended up receiving old relics, Egyptian related artifacts, gold coins, etc but this is a first he got actually modern day money.

Poor dude must've been recently form a core to spend that much money. Good thing he had send extra since he know how crazy those caffine-obsessed ghosts can be over the new drink he made specifically for himself, Sam and Danny but it's nice to have extra cash for new tech making. Especially since Danny became high king of the ghost zone when he became 20 year old, and the amount of paper works that had been left for dust collecting could filled a planet to the very brim.

Took him, Sam, Danny, Ghost writer and Techno 5 months to fully turn at least 26% of sacrifical gifts from ritual, contracts, conquests, complains from territorial ghosts about humans taking their land/house/property/or about their murder, help hundreds of ghosts stuck in their personal hell of a limbo of their own death, guy name Constantine whom was rapidly becoming a pain in Tucker's ass especially when he got one contract form his former previous life about this guy.

This is how Tim becomes a halfa. He just chugs these drinks to the point where his tiny, unstable proto-core gets enough not-awful energy that it can actually turn into a working core. Imagine finding out that you literally drank enough of your favorite energy drink that you’re simultaneously dead and alive.

Literally so much caffeine in those it exploded his heart without noticing

because he was so energised it brought him back to life simultaneously.

Bruce tries to confiscate the energy drinks and Tim transforms for the first time to rescue them.

Doesn't Tumblr's terrible search function only work if it's all one word? That's why I was told to use dpxdc or dcxdp, because tagging it with spaces in was clogging up the (separate) DP & DC tags.

Tim answering phone: Danny? Where are you?

Danny: The doorman won't let me in. He doesn't think I live here. I'm not dressed fancy enough apparently.

Tim: I'll be right down. Hold tight.

Danny walked back to the doorman: Just wait until Tim Drake gets here. His coffee is getting cold, and he will definitely blame you.

Doorman: I told you to get out of here before I call the police-

Tim sprinting through the door: Danny is my roommate!

Danny: See! I live here.

Doorman: You live here....with Mr.Drake. .dressed like that???,

Tim clutching Heart Attack coffee travel cup to his chest: He does! I'm sorry about this Danny. I'll make sure it never happens again

Danny smug: You hear that? Tim's going to talk to your boss-

Tim: If we run we can get to the stores before they close.

Danny/Doorman: What?

Danny: What are you talking about?

Tim blinking: I'm going to buy you an entire new wardrobe.

Danny dazed: Whaaaaat?

Tim: Yeah, if Josh here thought you weren't dressed the part, I can fix that. My favorite suit place closes in two hours, but we need to have your measurements done so we got like maybe thirty minutes. Let's go!

Danny being dragged away: Wait isn't this a bit much?

Tim: You give me the one thing keeping me going in these dark times. Nothing is too much for you.

Doorman watching them leave in fancy car: .......oh that was Mr. Drake suger baby. Okay. Better let the rest of staff know before Mr. Drake has us fired.

Sounds like Danny's more like his coffee baby, amirite? 😃

Dani probably made a little fucky wucky.

She was just playing, in her defence.

Okay, so like.

She found a weird glass tube, right? She knew it was more than it seemed. So she was playing with it.

Just to see what it was.

She was not expecting to be teleported to the WatchTower.

She was not expecting that teleportation to freak her out so much that she accidentally shot a control panel.

The control panel like, overloaded or something?

Anyways, now the satellite is unable to autopilot, it's just her and a bunch of civvie maintenance workers, and heroes can't use the teleportation things to come in.

Also; the shields are stuck. So. No one can come in either.

The civvie workers took her picture and sent it to some Justice League member, she doesn't know who. Then they ran, and none of them are helping her.

But.

But!

Now everyone thinks she's stealing the WatchTower, and she can't walk away from the steering thingy long enough to push the button to speak with all the angry heroes yelling at her from the comms.

This. This is not a super great day she's having.

The picture they took was blurry so it looked like a black and white humanoid figure with glowing green eyes. They can’t even tell the gender let alone the age.

Fun fact, that tube was actually a highly advanced piece of technology the supervillains had been developing in secret to launch a full on invasion of the watchtower. So Dani accidentally saved them by taking it.

Danny: *phases into the Watchtower*

Danny: I can't BELIEVE you STOLE the Watchtower!

Danny: ... witHOUT ME! >:D

Dani: SHUT UP AND HELP ME STEER THIS THING 😭😭😭

The Justice League: This is getting out of hand! Now there are TWO of them!

Every day i read a post where people write that “Bruce Wayne has an adoption problem” or that Danny is adoption bait on the first second of seeing him, not even knowing if he has a want of vengeance and a sad backstory and parallels to Bruce, and every day I want to softly cry in a corner.

Adding my tags

Bruce fucking Wayne at Nastyburger just gettin a bite to eat, as he leaves a frantic kid runs by him and the fucking fastfood joint explodes.

I feel like there would be a lot of confusion for him at first instead of bonding.

WHy did it explodE? He almost died??? WHY DID THE FASTFOOD PLACE EXPLODE? Are there any survivors? What the hell did this kid mean the sauce is explosive??? He ate that sauce! Shit is he liable to explode now? Is he injured by shrapnel he wasn't wearing his Batsuit he needs to check. Oh that kid just watched his entire family die.

Wait, why did that kid know to run for Nasty Burger? A prank gone wrong?

Bruce's detective side would kick in first ngl

Do I enjoy the meme of Bruce has an adoption problem and would insta-adopt Danny? Yes. It’s funny and often creates fun fics.

But also

Bruce only went out of his way to adopt Dick and Jason. Tim was already hanging around for a while and Bruce was the only adult who could potentially be responsible for him. Damian is his literal bio kid. Cass also didn’t have anything close to an adult who could be responsible for her and she’d already latched onto Babs, so he was willing to bring her into the family. Duke had already figured out his identity and was trying to help him and again didn’t have anyone else who could watch him so Bruce ended up with the responsibility by default. Steph isn’t even his kid, she just keeps raiding his fridge. Gordon is raising Babs so she doesn’t need to be adopted

Most of Bruce’s kids ended up his because he was the only responsible adult in the vicinity and ended up having the responsibility forced on him (not that it was hard to force it on him, since he was already working with these kids in the vigilante scene so he already cared about him) and now he has a small army of children running around the manor

My point being, Mr. Lancer is more likely to end up as Danny’s parent than Bruce because he’s the only other adult even vaguely responsible for Danny. But if Danny asked to be adopted, Bruce would say yes in a heartbeat

Yeah, but Mr. Lancer died in the Nasty Burger explosion too. They were meeting for an informal parent/teacher conference because Mr. Lancer caught Danny cheating on the CAT.

Danny works as a Gotham bomb disposal technician

Danny drops off the bombs for CW to use. CW has yet to have this much fun in centuries. Cuz I can CW for the sh*ts and giggles playing mine sweeper with the GIW. While sing: (Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom by Dan Bull) "Boom, boom, boom (Ha, ha)" But in CW's defense, they tried to bomb the GZ first, so he is just making sure they can't do that again for the sake of the timeline. The one time the Observants tried to stop him from using the loophole., CW offered to leave the contraband with them. The Observant, who got handed a live bomb, quickly changed their tune.

I'm picturing something straight out of Looney Tunes and it made me cackle uncontrollably 😂
