Jason adopts Danny as his own.
At first he has no idea what he's doing and does extensive research on how to care for his new son. He fumbles a bit at when actually buying baby products as he's not sure exactly what he'll need, intill a mother of two spots him and helps him out.
In order for the batfamily not to find out about his kid he just puts Danny to sleep before patrols and locks his whole apartment down, leaving a camera to watch over Danny and check on him when ever he gets the chance.
Sometimes making a quick pit stop back to feed or put him back to sleep if he woke up.
Eventually he gets the hang of parenting and hiding his son. Intill hes just relaxing, reading a book at the end of patrol before bed. And gets an unexpected visit from one of the bat fam (I'm thinking nightwing but could be any). They look between Jason and the sleeping baby in a cot before they evidently become incredibly concerned and confused.
Where did this baby even come from?
Why is there a baby? WHY DOES JASON HAVE A BABY??
Jason has to finally Reluctantly reveal his sons existence and the whole family goes wild.
Bruce: I have a grandson? :0
Dick: I have a Nephew! :D
Tim: Should we be concerned?
Duke: Oh God, the Bird adoption tendency has passed onto Jason..
Damian: ... What
Cass: Nephew :D
Stephanie: I'm gonna be an awesome aunt! >:D
They all immediately try and meet the little guy but have a hard time when a very protective Jason practically hisses at them when they try to get close without his invitation. Especially Bruce. Telling them all that he'll let them met him eventually over time under his choosing.
First is Alfred and Barbara (obviously) who is absolutely in love with little Danny on sight. His little great grandson. And Barbara's technical Nephew.
Bab's absolutely melts when she gets to hold his little self bundled in fabric. And tears up when reaches for her face and gently munches on her hair.
When Alfred got to hold him and he had to wipe his eyes then well, he just has to do some dusting later that's all.
Next is the overwhelmed with excitement Richard. Dick is absolutely overjoyed to meet his little Nephew and immediately crys when Jason allows him to hold the little guy and Danny grabs one of his fingers. The little guy was holding his finger! With his whole fist!
Cass and Steph were after Dick, Cass absolutely loved him and even had a gift lined up for him (that others were jealous of since they hadn't even thought about that!)
A stuffed toy Bat that Danny immediately took and held close. Steph followed up with Cass's idea and bought clothes for Danny, JL themed because it was funny.
Both got to hold him and both got to take turns bottle feeding him. He went to sleep in Cass's arms and had to be taken back by Jason.
Next up had been Duke and Tim. Both were very intrigued to meet him and Tim even made the comment that he looked identical to Jason.
Black hair, blue eyes, white streak. He was honestly suprised to hear from Jason that no, he was not biologically Danny's father. And that it was just incredible coincidence.
Duke makes fun of Jason with the Bruce adoption trait the entire time.
When they got to hold him they fell for his little chubby face and adorable sky blue eyes. This was the're Nephew, and they would absolutely protect the little guy from harm.
Finally it was Bruce and Damians turn,
Bruce was holding in all of his questions and all of his excitement. In order not to scare away his second son who had finally given the okay for him to meet his grandson.
Damian wasn't as enthusiastic as all the others but Bruce could tell he was curious.
As soon as Bruce laid eyes on the little bundled form in Jasons arms. He felt himself smile and his heart skip a beat.
That was the newest addition to his family. His little grandson.
His sons first and foremost rule was that Danny was his adopted son and not up for Bruce to take. Bruce readily agreed.
And that Danny was not to ever become a robin. Jason didn't want that for his son.
Damian looked at the little baby that in turn, turned to face Damian with wide eyes.
Damian blinked owlishly as the little one smiled widely and reached for him cooing.
Jason was also suprised.
"He likes the demon brat?"
Damian gave his hand to Danny experimentally and Danny happily took it and did not want to let go for a while.
Damian wondered if Danny would like animals?
Would Todd even let him show Danny all his animals?
Bruce would not not lie and say he wasnt jealous at the little ones quick effection to his youngest.
When Jason asked if Bruce would like to hold Danny he jumped at the opportunity. A rare show of trust, a sign of repair to there broken relationship.
When Danny was laid in Bruce's waiting arms it took all he had not to cry then and there. He was just so perfect. Danny curled up a bit and with an adorable little yawn, and drifted of to sleep in Bryce's arms.
I have all these random cute and funny sernarios in my head of Danny interacting with the family as he grows up.
Thinking that the whole family actively try and keep the vigilantism a secret from Danny intill hes a bit older.
Also thinking of either Danny still has his ghost powers and they just awaken incredibly slow over time from toddler age (floating toddler would be incredibly funny) or when he's just starting primary school and he's just absolutely terrified with no idea whats going on and Jasons freaking out on what to do. (Adding a how to care for your Meta child book in his library.)
I'm this 🤏 close to turning this into a fanfic>°>
With like a whole story line and everything. This au's begging to stick.
Also I have some art for this lined up that I'll post next.
Also @starkcravingmad tag as requested:)
My heart keeps melting the longer I'm a part of this community 😭🥺
Finally I'm going to make a post about it so I'm posting my comment here too, sorry for the repetition:
When duke first sees him, he says he's brilliant, everyone takes it figuratively. When the floating happens the first time everyone panics a bit.
Duke is simply: I told you so. it shines like a phosphorescent star, of course it's a meta.
Everyone looks at him with wide eyes.
The flutter appears the first time it falls and no one was fast enough to catch it.
Invisibility during a game of "pik a boo" (I don't know how to spell it sorry).
Intelligibility has its first successful candy steal, telekinesis comes in a similar way.
Shield construction the first time RH comes back injured and falls unconscious before covering everything up, danny wakes up heals and watches over his dad for hours, no one can / must come near! so shield. After that it is decided that he will have a medical training and spend some evening with Alfred patching up the batfam or making them cookies.
The eclipse happens by accident at school, it takes more than a week for him to tell his father about it. They trained it together but agreed to keep it a secret
The ectobeams the first time is that his father teaches him the safety of weapons and then takes him to his secret / private shooting ranges, as much to say that Jason is happy to have taught him safety.
Tech eclipse happens by accident as oracle had it one night when everyone was on the deck and alfred was busy/hurt. He helped with some low level hacking (because of course uncle tim and aunt barbara taught him "the basics") He hypers focus and "falls" into the computer. In the heat of the moment he continues to do what he does, succeeds, contacts barb' via his com' without her realizing that he is no longer physically close to the audio quality of the com'. It is hours later after having stopped the plot of the week that the situation is realized. The batfam is divided on the situation but it is finally decided that Danny will spend some evening with Barbara to learn this new ability.
The dream walk happens when a member of the batfam falls into a comma (no doubt magic), everyone else is on the pond and Danny falls asleep watching him and he wakes up together and confused
Ice comes at the onset of puberty, much like in canon, but with a panic of whether it's some kind of Mister Freeze disease that's infecting it
The wail arrives at the announcement of the death of one of the batfams see jason (they are better now)
I see Danny eventually becoming the group's field medic/emergency extractor but usually just Oracle's right-hand man. His ghostly urges make him want to help but his very pultions can disconnect him from logic. This situation is ultimately the compromise that has been found.
After that he is extracted and healed some number of villains, their henchmen and a lot of civilians. It is called the white flag. It is totally forbidden to harm him otherwise the whole gallery of villains and bats will fall on you, no matter if the bullets pass through him or he is almost uncapturable. Don't even think about it and if we hear you thinking about it, you're finished in Gotham. Unless it's the jokers...
Eventually he meets Jazz after she becomes an intern at Arkam and he has to check her background. Suffice to say that it was a week full of emotions...
