Sewing Club (dp x dc)

This had all started when Frostbite had asked Danny why he'd never changed out of his hazmat suit. Danny had assumed it would've been useless to try since the one time he had put on any of his normal clothes on as Phantom, they had disappeared when he turned back human and when he went ghost he was back to the hazmat.

According to Frostbite, though, ghosts could change clothes, as long as they had been made by ghosts. At first Danny had been ecstatic, and he'd rushed to the nearest ghostly tailor where his hopes had been crushed. Because ghost clothes were apparently very expensive and very in demand, ten-year-long-waiting-list kind of in demand.

That was when Danny had had a brilliant flash of inspiration. He was a ghost! Which meant if he made his own clothes, they wouldn't disappear into the void! Which brought him back to today, taking sewing classes two states over during summer break.

"That's good, those stitches are looking neater," Alfred said as he passed by Danny's chair. The halfa smiled up to the older man before bending back down onto his needle and thread.

This was not how Danny had thought the summer would go. At least he got some free cookies out of it.

Danny injures himself several times with the sewing needle. Alfred saw that Danny's blood had a strange green sheen, and that he seemed to be getting better very, too quickly. hmmm, he should keep an eye on him.

But so far he seems like a good boy, no need to disturb Master Bruce when there has been a new wave of Arkam escapes

Alfred, looking at this boy with slightly too sharp teeth, eyes that occasionally give off a glow, and top slow heartbeat: hm

Danny: *humming happily as he practices, listening to Alfred's instructions and complaining about his lunch, and then immediately tripping over something and almost take out everyone's sewing machine.* Ah f- I mean, um, that hurt.

Alfred:....

*I'm sure it's not something Master Bruce needs to concern himself about*

Alfred: Young Danny, would you like to learn how to cook?

The lunch lady will be a little upset that he didn't come to her to learn how to cook, then learns that it's Lady Gotham's Alfred pennyworth and calms down. After all there was already a waiting list of cooking challenges for when he dies considering how Lady Gotham brags about him

New place, same fight

Danny loves his friends, they have been with him since they were little and they have experienced too many things together, things that have helped them grow, things that only strengthen their friendship. Because Sam and Tucker were everything to him, as he was everything to them.

But at the same time, Danny could admit that he hated his friends; not always, but there were times where they wouldn't stop fighting, where they forced him to choose. The halfa could understand, Sam and Tucker had different world views, they saw different things and occasionally Danny thought they only got along because of him.

That was okay, he learned to live with them, to be the center of their arguments. And when they moved from Amity to Gotham, when they decided to rent an apartment together and go to the same college (which miraculously had all their majors), he thought everything would be fine.

It was idiotic of him. Because at the time he could only see a repeat of what had happened in high school; Sam was having a protest about the cafeteria menu and Tucker had organized the meat lovers (again), and the halfa knew how it was all going to end.

The point is, Danny was tired of repeating the same cycle, a cycle that apparently included Waylon and Poison Ivy fighting in the cafeteria at his new college (and how the hell did his friends manage to get the Rogues of Gotham into their fights?), so when he saw the people in bat suits he exploded.

When Sam and Tucker turned to ask his opinion he shook his head, pointed at Lunch Lady, who had her arms crossed and decided it wasn't his problem before disappear. Literally, no matter if half of Gotham was calling him meta, he was tired.

Red Robin gawked at him before turning his attention to Lunch Lady, who was gathering all the meat around her to form a giant meat monster. And Danny decided it wasn't his problem.

Apparently, Sam and Tucker decided that the bats could take care of it before they looked worried and started looking for Danny. It became obvious that the bats needed help when Danny looked at a giant meat monster two hours later, the halfa arched an eyebrow in dismay, weren't they supposed to be professional heroes? Lunch wasn't even trying...

Honestly, she was just there to check on him. Gotham had much lower ambient ecto levels than Amity, and she wanted to make sure that he was getting all of the nutrients he needed. 

Lunch Lady had tracked him down to his cafeteria and, out of respect for Danny’s anonymity, took on a human visage. She had a large box (courtesy of her lovely husband) full of ecto snacks that would hopefully see him through the next few weeks until she could come again. Before Danny had left for college, they had set up a schedule for visiting the mortal realm, and she wasn’t going to be the first one to breach the agreement. 

They’d just finished a lovely catch up when the doors to the cafeteria burst open. That female friend of his marched in with an assortment of odd looking people, carrying banners decrying meat and animal products. Before she could do more than stand up, the doors at the other end of the eating hall burst open and Duulaman’s reincarnation marched in with his own assortment of people and banners. Were they protesting dietary requirements again? 

Lunch Lady was incensed. Not only had they decided to disrupt her time with Danny, but they’d also decided to interrupt one of the most important times of the day - meal time! As the two continued carrying on she could see Danny slowly slump over in embarrassment, lunch all but forgotten on the table in front of him. Unacceptable! 

The final straw was when a group of people dressed as bats of all things crashed through the windows. She thought they were going to be breaking up the protest, but then half of them joined in! “Apologies for this, Danny dear” she said, before pulling all of the meat from the protestors towards herself. It was time to end this! 

Clearly Phantom didn’t mind, he left her to it and exited through one of the open doors fairly soon after that. It seems that this was one occasion where he didn’t mind her breaking their truce. 

danny: bats can take care of it, she was literally my first ghost opponent on his return danny: seriously! they STILL haven't finished! They haven't been heroes for how long now?

Danny only came back because his afternoon class was due to start ten minutes prior and one of the few students who showed up mentioned that their teacher was stuck in the cafeteria under a table. 

He walks into the cafeteria and Lunch Lady pauses to turn to him, but he walks right past her and over to the table barricade that a few humans were hiding behind to watch the show. Sam and Tucker haven’t even noticed that he’d left in the first place, and immediately start yelling at him to pick their side. 

He glares at them both, gives Batman a disappointed glance, then phases his teacher through the desk. “Come on, I didn’t stay up until midnight studying just for us to not have that quiz today. People are waiting for you in the classroom.” 

At this stage, the entire hall has gone silent and is watching him walk his professor out. He stops at the entrance door and turns to look at Lunch Lady. “Go home, or I'll tell Boxy that you said you preferred circle boxes for pizzas.” 

She flees back to Amity immediately. Play time is over. 

oh shit, I can only imagine box ghost's face of absolute betrayal, holding back tears while looking at his wife, it almost ended in divorce.

It is because of this accident that Danny ultimately does not become the godfather of box lunch

Fashion Summoning Roulette

Danny is the new High King of the Infinite Realms!

But he is...very not intimidating.

His rogues take offense to this.

They demand that when he gets summoned to other worlds his summoning outfit be different than his hero outfit. He must look intimidating!

They would be so fucking embarrassed for cultists to know that they got their asses handed to them by not only a baby, but a baby that couldn't be bothered to get an actual hero suit.

So they workshop it and bully Danny into agreeing.

Each of his rogues gets to design a "High King of the Infinite Realms" outfit, and when they've all had a go then Danny gets to choose the one he likes best.

Every time he gets summoned, he's wearing a different outfit.

Some of them are creepy, some of them are frightening, some of them are actually pretty bland, and some of them are...dumb. But Boxy looks so fucking hopeful Danny can't say no. Some of them make him look like he's draped in stars, and another uses colors unseeable to mortal eyes.

It seems like a pretty solid deal.

But they also want feedback from the cultists.

This leads to things getting a little awkward.

Like cultists kidnapping renowned journalist Lois Lane and fancy Gotham idiot Billionaire Brucie Wayne to offer them to the High King of the Infinite Realms because they heard he's super into fashion, and who better than a journalist and a man richer than god to give him pointers?

Lois keeps pointing out she's not from a fashion magazine.

Bruce quietly mentally acknowledges that yeah, he actually pays attention to fashion more than she does. He won't say it, though. Not when she can hear him.

I can imagine Danny seeing both of the people in front of him, recognizing them and thinking ‘shit, I don’t want Batman or Superman to think I kidnapped these two and then attack me. I have enough bad press already’

So as a precaution he keeps at least one of them within arms reach at all times. When asked about this, Danny gets bashful and says something along the lines of. “Well, your family has a history of getting kidnapped and being rescued by Batman and his team” while pointing to Bruce, then he points to Lois, “and you have a history of getting rescued by Superman. So I know at least one of them will be here soon and I don’t want them to punch first and ask questions later. So I figured if one of you is standing close to me they are less likely to attack me.”

Danny fidgets with his hands while looking at the ground. His outfit (author’s choice) which once made him look regal now looks too big on him.

“Besides, your government already sees me and my people as non-sentient. They even created the Anti-Ecto Acts to made it legal to capture, exterminate, and perform painful experiments on us. I don’t want the Justice League to start doing the same thing.”

This last piece of information gets the attention of Lois Lane, world renowned journalist and meta rights activist, and Batman, the world’s greatest detective and guy who has a soft spot for kids.

It would be really funny if it was at that moment Superman shows up to save the day. But both Bruce and Lois shoo him out the door before turning back to Danny and asking for me details about these Anti-Ecto Acts.

"Lois! Are you oka-?"

"Not now Cl-Superman, I just got a big scoop. Go for a walk or something."

"But...the cultists..."

"Ahahaha, we're fine Superman, you just tie them up and we'll keep talking with this kiddo about uh...what was that? Unethical and completely legal torture of en entire species?"

Brucie's voice was confused and jovial, but his expression? The one carefully turned away from the floating kid wearing a cardboard mecha costume with glowing, poorly drawn stars?

His expression was pissed.

Like, 'spar with me Clark' levels of pissed.

Clark backed away, vaguely aware of the cultists doing the same thing.

"We're fine fighting Superman out back," the leader soothed Bruce, herding his flock of insane cultists to the door.

Superman nodded and trailed after them.

Could it be a trap? Yes.

Was he going to let that stop him from getting away from Lois and Bruce, both of whom had found something they could sink their teeth into?

Nope.

BREAKING NEWS! GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS CATALOGED A WHOLE DIMENSION AS NON SENTIENT!!!

Lois Lane could be seen very smug in the office, Clark looked seconds away from running away like she was a hound of hell after him. In the newspaper, Bruce Wayne gave a very long statement about how disgusted he was that such laws were approved and afraid on who would be next.

That caused max hysteria.

Danny has no idea about the new trends he caused, nor do he knows what he unleashed in the world by answering Bruce and Lois' questions.

He lear nd about the outrage over the anti Ecto acts because of his parents. They are ranting about how people need them in place. And how stupid can they be. Danny is like??????

Later that day Sam tackle hugs him.

Sam: You damn genius! Now every one knows about the acts and they are pissed! Lois Lane did her thing! And oh boy! Did she do it good!

Danny: Cool! Um. I only talked with her for a little bit though? It wasn't like an interview or anything?

Sam: Huh.... You sure about that buddy? Anyway! When do I get to choose your next summons outfit!

Danny: .... Next time?

Sam: Perfect! I have the best idea!

It works so well because Danny is a child and he's wearing Box Armor.

Are you gonna take a child wearing boxes to protect himself with child art all over it as a threat?

You won't. Especially since the boxes are probably a bit too big and falling off, showing how skinny and small he is.

Makes you just want to take him home and feed him sandwiches.

I can see I can see that even if the fentons are good parents they're still slightly neglectful parents since the majority of the food they cook comes to life so well Danny also has slightly stunted growth due to malnourishment since he's not eating properly he's short and skinny.

If Skuller dressed him and it was all armor and metal the same rules apply. Its too big, like a child playing in their parents clothes.

Yup. Bruce and Lois saw the tiny scared teen. Who didn't want to hurt anyone. Just wanted opinions on the outfits his friends made. And they just want to lock him up somewhere safe. Finding out the government is hunting him? Hahaha! No! Not on their watch. He wore a silly outfit to please a kid. If that's malicious they don't know what kindness would look like!

Clockwork and the other Ancients making him display them is so cute! Danny does like Frighty's armour. It's so cool! The Ancients of course end up making into a competition. Who's outfit does he like best! Look at him! So cute!

Of course, now that Batman and Lois Lane know the High King of the Infinite Realms, literally the afterlife, is just this little kid trying to take his unexpected and not entirely wanted job seriously and also jsut wanting to make hsi friends and fellow ghosts happy, they definitely remember to jot down the summoning circle. It doesn't HAVE to be blood sacrifices, right? Kids like cookies too. Basically the next summon is full space goth Danny (because of course Sam would make it goth) and he's being summoned in the middle of Wayne Manor where Bruce just wants a followup and to invite the kid over for dinner.

Poor Clark tho, he's so confused and then a week after his girlfriend drops THAT bomb on the news, she says she's gonna summon the kid again! Like full on asks him to make his mothers special pie for the kid!

Alfred goes all of for the King. Just full on. The best he can do. And Danny? Loves it.

Danny:... If you guys end up ghosts I am hiring you.

Alfred: That is quite he compliment. Thank you your Majesty.

Meanwhile? Clark heard this? And tells his Ma. So she can also pull out all the stops. Obviously his Ma needs a chance to earn that sort f compliment too. And Ma and Pa Kent? Oh they go hard. That poor boy! Died so young! And ended up King? And he's just trying to do his best? Well, they better get the best out for him! A proper Midwest meal!

Danny gets hugs, and a hand made sweater. It's the softest thing he has ever worn. Like, wow. It's so comfy? He happily pulls it on. Snuggly and soft!

Danny: It's so soft! Best sweater ever! I love it! Thank you Mrs Kent! And the pie is amazing! Best I've ever eaten!

Clark gets to smirk at Bruce after. Shows him a picture of Danny snuggled into the sofa wearing a Kent sweater? Oh it's on!

Danny keeps being summoned for weekly dinners now? And they keep giving him gifts? And not asking for anything! They are just worried cause he's so young? and it's so nice of them. He tracks down Pandora for lessons on giving blessings to mortals. They deserve something.

Pandora of course checks the humans out. Perhaps this is a plot? But no. They are heroes. And feel grief for her King. Who died too young and bears a heavy burden. She lays a blessing of health over them herself for that. And teaches Danny how to lay his own.

Constantine? Is so confused when he sees them next.

John: How the fuck? Did you get the King of the Dead? And the Goddess of Hope to give ya blessins?

Bruce and Clark: We what now?

The best part? Is that Lois DEFINITELY either got a pic or artist's recreation of Danny in the box armor for the front page? Like? Imagine THAT as most of Humanity's fist view of this supposed threat?

Scrawny, sheepish, teenage boy in cosplay armor. Oh they tremble.

The PTA moms would go FERAL. Lois would lay it Just So, that it HAMMERS home... "Oh. Oh this is Just Some Kid. They are HUNTING DOWN CHILDREN" and you'd feel SICK.

It would be an international SHIT STORM.

Cause there are a LOT of cultures where "respect the dead" is not a request, its a demand. There would be Kill Bill sirens at the UN.

...........I wanna watch.

She goes one step further. It's a picture of him and Box Lunch. Who she managed to convince to talk to her. And Box Lunch? Tiny baby? In matching outfit? Talking about how he is her hero? And he let her be his little sister? With Box Ghost an Lunch Lady talking about how sweet he is to their little munchkin. Absolute softy to kids? Well, the media loves it.

and if while she questions the parents she leaves box lunch with jon and Damian come to visit her?

Jon gets a new indestructible playmate! And so his Box Lunch! Lois ends up summ going the family most weekends for play dates.

the ghost family is so happy to have guests, lady lunch gives them almost a snack feast every time and Boxy gives them gifts!…. it's cardboard boxes, beautiful cardboard boxes but always cardboard boxes… at least it's perfect for bringing back leftover food

(the recipes have all been checked and tested by danny beforehand)

and if while she questions the parents she leaves box lunch with jon and Damian come to visit her?

One of my personal headcanons is that, if Amity Park is entirely liminal, Jason is always the first person to discover it and regularly goes to visit on holidays. Amity's enthusiastic and incredibly violent holidays.

So, Jason is super excited to go see his girlfriend during the Walpurgis Night festival. So excited that he has entirely thrown caution out the window and has been gushing about this festival to his henchmen.

Gotham being Gotham, word makes it back to the Rogues. While some of the meta Rogues are planning to cause havoc while the Bats are without a heavy hitter, some of the Rogues more involved in organized crime (Penguin, Two-Face, Black Mask) decide to try and take out Hood while his guard is down.

The City Spirit of Amity apparently finds this hilarious as it does nothing to stop them from crossing its borders and actually giggles at them.

Thoroughly creeped out by the disembodied laughter, the Rogues spread out to find Hood.

Penguin gets accosted by his Cousin Jack and is dragged off screen. Two-Face somehow starts a fist fight with Box Ghost over whether the number 2 or the number 4 is better. Black Mask actully holds Hood at gun point for all of 3 minutes before he gets bowled over by the brawling duo.

The Amity residents consider this is as good a reason as any to kick off the festivities a couple hours early.

The next three days proceed like the chorus of The Irish Drinking Song. The fighting is only interrupted by offers of food and alcohol.

Hood and the Rogues roll back into Gotham still drunk and slightly concussed. They all stay on friendlier terms once they sober up and at least one of them takes Jason up on his offer of going to another Amity Park Holiday.

Bonus points: Black Mask is the one who wants to go again. Nobody in Amity Park has even the slightest reaction to his appearance beyond some people thinking he looks cool, on account of them believing he's a ghost or liminal. He hasn't felt this good about himself and been so comfortable with the face he sees in the mirror in ages.

The Penguin does not get asked.

Oswald made the mistake of showing up at his cousins' hometown once and no amount of excuses are going to stop the Fentons from dragging him to their family gatherings.

There is no escape, the cousins with superstrength will stuff you into a burlap sack if you don't come quietly.

The Riddler mocks him for this and gets dragged to the Roast Turkey Hunt as "Cousin Oz's Boyfriend."

They were not dating before.

Ed steals a Peking duck and somehow smuggled it back to Gotham.

Goober the Zombie Duck is his new sidekick.

Bonus points (addition): Assuming that Amity Park is ghost friendly at this point (or at least kicked out the GIW and reigned in the Doctors Fenton so they're actually helping stop troublemakers instead of shooting at every ghost they see), let's say someone (Harvey "Two Face" Dent) meets a Yeti and gets to talking about tech and medicine with them. On returning to Gotham, Harvey, being a Rogue less out of any actual inclination towards it than as a response to trauma induced mental illness, thinks about his conversation with the Yeti and has an idea. Mr. Freeze is a Rogue purely because he wants to save his terminally ill wife that he put in cryosleep to buy time so he could develop a cure for her, and turned to crime to fund his research. Victor would like nothing more than to save Nora, hang up the ice gun, and retire from being a Rogue; hell he'd probably willingly serve a few years in Arkham or Blackgate for his crimes and actually get the professional help he definitely needs after so long as a Rogue operating because he didn't see a better way to achieve his (extremely understandable) goals. Couldn't hurt to ask Red Hood when he's planning to visit Amity Park again and see if they could bring Freeze along for the ride to introduce him to the Yetis so they can help him make that cure for Nora, maybe even fix Victor himself so he doesn't need his suit anymore while they're at it.

Penguin and Riddler: *Trudging back into the Iceberg Lounge looking rather beat up.*

Bane: Dios los mio, what happened to you two?!

Both: THANKSGIVING

@darkmodepls @capricedhusara @hdgnj @stealingyourbones

Ed opens his pet carrier and Goobler the Zombie duck waddles out angrily. People scatter from the angry duck in fear.

Harley: What the FUCK Ed?

Ed: Meet Goobler. Oz's cousins made him. Also apparently we give of couple energy? I got dragged to thanksgiving as his partner.

Oz: No matter how hard I tried to explain I was still single they wouldn't believe me. We got forced to share a room.

Ivy: There was only one bed?

Ed nodded solemnly.

Ed: There was only one bed. Also, his niblings are feral. I thought only the local street kids and robins were like that.

Harley:... Can Ivy and I come next time?

Oz: Only if you're willing to put up with excessive amounts of violence.

Harley: DEAL!!!

*Bane shares a look with Killer Croc. They are SO sneaking along!*

@hdgnj @darkmodepls @capricedhusara @stealingyourbones

Oz just sighs and gets a bus. He knows this will do the rounds. And while he wouldn't inflict the lot of them on any other city? He knows Amity Park will be just fine.

Ed: Should we want them?

Harley: Yeah! We can be a bit much!

Oz: ... No. No we don't need to earn them. They'll do just fine!

Harley:... I get the feelin I'm missin something?

Oz: Nothing to worry about my dear!

The Truce is the next major holiday after Turkey Hunt, but that's not one the Rogues would be interested in. A month of enforced peace for the various winter holidays would not sound like a good time.

New years on the other hand....

The Blessed Bash is yet another city-wide brawl. This one sees high attendance from Spirits, Gods, and other Embodiments.

The mortals and ghosts spar and whoever wins the match receives a "blessing" from the loser. This can mean actual divine blessings on the ghost side of things, but the mortals have introduced them to the concept of 'token blessings' as a substitute.

Token blessings are pieces of candy or toy doublooms inscribed with an inspirational quote or small goodwill message.

The goal is to accumulate blessings to 'spend' in the new year.

A week where the goal is to go ape shit? And beat each other bloody for fun? Count them the Fuck in!

Obviously all of the rogues leaving en masse. At the same time? To the same place? Raised some red flags. Jason's off hand mention of the 'Blessed Bash'? Does not help. Jason, what the fuck? What do you mean? Do you know where they're going? Why do you know? What do you mean don't worry about it? Jason get back here?!?!

----

Meanwhile, this year's Bash? Has been even better! Sam got to fight Poison Ivy! Poison Ivy! She got to fight her idol!?!?! Tucker? Got to fight Killer Croc. And Danny? He threw down with Bane. All three have had a great time! And they got to fight other Gotham Rogues!

Danny takes advantage of Uncle Oz's connections shamelessly. He wants to fight them all! Uncle Oz! Introduce me to your friends!!!!!

The rogues? Are pretty charmed by the troublesome trio. All three just hitting 18-19 and already like this? Fantastic! Hey, if you ever wanna commit a crime? We would be happy to let you run with us for a bit! Now now Oz. It's only polite to offer!

Jason as usual is throwing down with whoever. And hanging out with Lancer. But knows his shot about books! They are total lit buddies. Jason gets showed around to the book club as a promising youth! Hear that B! He's promising!

@hdgnj Jazz is ECSTATIC when Uncle Oz brings his friends to the Brawl.

SHE GOT TO TALK TO HARLEEN QUINZEL AND JOHNATHAN CRANE!!! TWO OF HER PSYCHOLOGY IDOLS!!! BEST LATE CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER!!!

The only one not invited to the Brawl is the Joker.

So, of course, he decides to crash the party!

Bad idea.

The Amity Parkers and the other Rogues (plus Red Hood) stop just short of actually killing him, saying it would make Batman mad and they might not be able to come back next time.

Joker does not try it again.

Joker got tied up and used as a pinata. Then shipped back to Arkham in a body cast. Man will never walk quite right again.

The Batclan? Really want to know what the Fuck is going on. But Jason won't talk. The rogues won't talk. Amity Park seems normal enough (when it's not a holiday). If not weird for The low crime rate and high percentage of metas. But nice and calm. (all lies. Outsiders don't get to see). So why do the rogues like their holidays so much?

To be fair... the man didn't bring Blessings to the Bash. I mean? Holidays have RULES and Mr. J here broke um. If he had FOLLOWED the rules they would have let him stay. Morally repugnant cretin or not.

Glass houses and shit, ya know? Some oh those deity are not exactly squeaky clean. But! And this was his undoing~

Fucker thought he was Too Good for the Rules. Nuh Uh, you lose, you bless! Where is there Blessing Candy or something?

He? Probably tried to hand them a "Funny" poisoned candy.

Whiiiich? Is a CURSE!

Traditionally? If you are expected to give blessing but DONT? You are Rude.

But if you CURSE when expected to Bless? Unforgivable Offense. He effectively turned EVERY Supernatural Entity in the area against him in one action. Punishment Time.

Joker will never be the same again. Every powerful deity at that years bash? Cursed him with somthing. From petty "May you stub your toe in every table", to "Your plans will always go wrong", and "May you live in interesting times" . When he gets back to Gotham? The general cursed aura of the city makes them worse.

Joker will never know good times again. Batman is baffled. Pleased but baffled. Somehow Joker is now less of an issue than condiment King? All of the bad luck in the city seems to home in on him. Which is great. Makes him super easy to take out and put back in Arkham. But also, super weird. What the fuck happened in Amity Park? And why can't he figure it out?!?

When the villains are all leaving on the bus, Batman is very confused and incredibly worried. All his rogues working together like this? That is very, very bad! So he warns the others. He calls Tim, Dick, Duke, Kate...

And Jason. Who immediatly takes a selfie with all the rogues from within the bus. Like he was going to mis the next bash!

Jason: Don't worry B! We're off on holiday!

Batman: Hood. Hood no. Hood why??

Jason: Can't miss the Bash! Gotta get me those blessings!!!

Batman: WHAT BLESSINGS!

Jason: The Bash blessings duh. Anyway! We're pre drinking gtg!

The curse that really ruined the joker was from technus: may your contraptions never work right.

Even when the joker somehow gets a scheme going, the tech he used to try and set up a trolley problem thingy just... powers off.

He can't even cook up joker gas properly anymore

Joker probably can't even cook food properly right now. Joker has to live on take out. But the curses mean it's always cols, a little bit off.

king of condiments: your food is never seasoned correctly

Joker: as if I was afraid of you king of condiments

lunch lady: *touse cough* What he said, and your meats go bad in less than 24 hours

lunch box: let your food boxes have holes!

boxy proud dad: she was awesome, my turn. May your packages never arrive on time or in good condition!

Tucker whispering to Danny: He cursed Amazon?

Sam putting himself between them: as if they needed it

Short DPXDC Prompts #794

Tim tried to clone Kon again. Danny wakes up in a glass tube not knowing where he is and why he’s so much stronger.

Tim is going to have some explaining to do when Danny escapes.

This could go so many directions! Like, is this Danny chose to be reincarnated. He expected a family, but this is eh. May as well happen.

Did he fly through a portal at the wrong time?

Actually die in the portal accident, and just got shunted over.

So many options!

Also! Does he have Kon's memories as well as his own?

Does he have ghost powers as well as Kryptonian ones?

I always love severely wounded [if you know me, you know why is my favorite : )] and overshadows an empty vessel to hide, accidentally ending up stuck in a body that won't let go of his soul cause it doesn't want to be empty.

I generally imagine Danny still has his ghost powers in any of these situations cause I view those abilities as bond to his soul, not his body. So he probably has both sets of powers, ghost from his soul and Kryptonian from his body.

This does not make handling the overlapping abilities any easier since now certain powers can be triggered in 2 different ways.

Ooh! In Krytonite is ghost candy au's, I wonder which nature takes precedent. Maybe it depends on which form he's in? Ghost form is fine around Kryptonite, "human" form is not? Hmm.

As for Danny having Kon's memories, assuming this is the same situation of grieving Tim trying to get his best (boy?) friend back, I can't imagine why he wouldn't have those memories implanted. But I imagine memory implantation like that is wonky, making the subject remember but not have any emotional connection to those memories.

!!! Ooh, what if Danny doesn't have his own memories. Like, if he was reincarnated, maybe those memories were sealed away, leaving him with at best vague impressions, that way he could have a clean slate. Or if he was on the run and got stuck in the empty body, maybe he started repressing the shit he'd gone through, again leaving him with only vague impressions.

So many ways to branch this off into different stories.

Exactly! Is Danny going to let himself be calls Kon. Or will he reject that name. Because "That name belongs to someone else. I'm more than just his copy."

How does Tim react to this? Will is drag him out of his grief spiral. Will he be forced to recognise what he is doing? Will it make him double down?

How do other people react? Now Danny has woken up its going to be hard to keep hiding him. How are you explaining this Tim?

If Danny has Kon's memories, he'd probably instinctually respond to Kon's name[s], but he wouldn't resonate with them. Kinda like how one may respond to their dead name even when they don't think of it as their name anymore.

I like the thought of Tim being forcibly ejected from his downward spiral by suddenly being responsibly for a whole ass human being. Nothing snaps a Bat to their senses as fast as sudden fatherhood. Especially fun when you throw in 'Tim had to stabilize the clone with his own DNA'. Tim comes back to himself with the sudden realization that instead of making a copy of his best friend, he made their love child.

Other people are, rightfully, gonna be like "What the fuck?" Hell, Tim himself may, in retrospect, be like "What the fuck?" Hopefully Tim has the balls to admitted he done fucked and needs help now. What's done is done. They can rip Tim a new one later. First and foremost there is a very young, possibly very small (if you have Danny wake up before having his growth artificially accelerated to Kon's age), extremely powerful child to take care of. Who has the standard Kryptonian power set plus a whole bunch of weird other ones that Tim did not give him and actually has no clue where they came from??? And apparently he comes pre-traumatized, so that's another fun layer of problem to deal with.

What if Tim goes to Jason first because if nothing else Jason is good with kids and, more importantly, is the least likely to tell anyone before Tim does.

Jason is 100% going to rip Tim an new one about the ethics of cloning and how it is not how you handle grief, but because of the kid (definitely not anything to do with Tim himself) he does help.

Is Lazarus is funky Ecto this will result in a severely freaked out Jason. Especially if Danny just instinctively yoinks it out. Rather than filtering it slowly.

Jason: Tim! What the fuck did you add to the mix?!?!?

Tim: My DNA?

Jason: What the fuck? so he's not even a clone. You made a love child??????? Tim.

Tim: Hey! don't judge me! At least it's not 8 heads in a duffel bag!

Jason: Yeah, and who blew up the LoA? Also, why does he have put demon powers?

Tim: I don't know! I didn't add any Lazarus juice okay!

What if similar to the idea of when kryptonite is can't vs poison, Danny has to be in ghost mode now to access the ghost powers bc this body hasn't died yet.

So danny sees or senses the corrupted ecto (what a fun way to learn about x Ray vision though! He'll probably ignore that he has it and freak out about it later), does his magic girl transformation and then yoinks out the corrupted ecto.

Now real question is - what does danny do with it? Does he fling it off his hands going "ew, gross". Does he eat it, drop it on the floor? Can he make portals? Is the corrupted ecto actually a wonky core of someone else? If so he could portal it away and then it forms its own body (bc it definitely had a bit of its own consciousness going on there)

The sheer horror they would feel at him eating it makes me say that.

He pulls it out, and just, swallows the squirming mass of toxic ooze. Neither of them can react fast enough.

Tim: Spit it out! Oh my god! Spit it out!

Jason: Did your love child just eat the fucking PIT madness?!?!!!

Tim: Danny! No! I don't know? Maybe?!?!!!

Danny just swallows and burps before rubbing his stomach and floating over for a hug.

Danny: Full now! Nap time!

Jason: Tim. What the in the mad science did you create?

As tim is freaking out (the "spit it out!" Section), is he also trying to shove his fingers into Danny's mouth in the hopes of Danny not having swallowed it and being able to pull it out?

(My youngest sibling (when they were like...2) kept shoving dirt into their mouth when no one was looking and I remember my mom doing that to try and dig it out XD )

And Danny just squirms his face away and chews faster before swallowing and opening his mouth to show how its "all gone!"

Danny falls asleep for his self declared nap time in tim's arms, who starts absent mindedly swaying to rock him to sleep while also having a mini panic attack bc "my son just pulled something out of Jason's chest.and.then. a t e it."

Jason is just patting his chest to make sure its still there XD

Absolutely! Yes! And Danny is a happy boy! Having a nap on his Dad. While said Dad and his poor uncle are both near tears. Because what the fuck just happened?????

Tim:Jay you ok?

Jason: Pit rage is gone. I feel..... Healthier than I did. What did you make?

Tim: a very strange son. Jay. How do I... Even start with this?

Tim, now hyperventilating: oh my God, what do I do? He just ate something he pulled out of you??

Jason is just... Zoned out and therefore no use. Tim is having a bad day

I love this

I kinda want there to be memories in both sides but in a dissociated way

Like he can remember the memories implanted… but it takes effort - so he’s mostly operating on base instincts and subconscious understanding

Names etc trigger flashes that he can follow more easily to spot what/who/where and stuff but if he’s not in a space to take time and concentrate the memories aren’t available to directly bash the knowledge

So he’d need to learn like deep meditation to really go back and look at the memories of this body

—

My question is: how old is the clone’s physical body coming out of the tube? because these options add more possible shenanigans

Baby/toddler - baby’s not expected to know much but it’s able to talk already and use it’s superpowers (super terrifying)

Small child - is understandable to be able to talk and walk etc… but the child is a teen/adult inside and has knowing eyes… and also powers (kinda creepy)

Preteen/Teenager- they think they know what to expect (they didn’t)

Adult - Tim done fucked up and now we have an adult with the real world knowledge of a toddler with super powers

Smol bean! The baby deserves a happy life! And it means he can cause more chaos. About 5/6 maybe. Tim gets the boys of an over powered child. He is gonna need all the help!

Tim ends up going to the Kent's farm like help!!!! How did you survive Clark?

since his body is not dead and retains the soul ie Danny in ghost mode I think that would mean that Danny is stuck in ghost mode but also his core stuck in the body of a kryptonian quard. ..only his core is stuck.

Baby 1/4 Kryptonian Danny with an extra pair of eldritch arms that stick out occasionally and the occasional extra stretchy wispy tail

Tim: oh my god what did I do and how did I do it?!? why does he have an extra pair of arms? where do they come from?? where did she go now? is it a tail??? oh my god it's a tail and he wraps it all around me! ... *pauses in his panic* actually it's kinda nice and cute... OMG he floats in his sleep and the tail the ink keep him from drifting?!?

Everyone when they find out...

"Tim what the Fuck did you do?"

Tim: Apparently made a custom body for the soul of a godling? I don't know! !!!!

as he says that Danny makes adorable eyes tm while purring loudly.

And if Danny's gallery of enemies/friends realizes he's missing and starts looking for him...

just emerging from the pits, 3 trio of characters are arguing. They totally ignore the league around them. They talk about a bet to be the first to find where "babyking" went before they go their separate ways.

Ember, skulker and technus VS Kitty, Johnny 13 and shadow VS the Box-Lunch family

the first group seems to have a big advantage, super methodical with technus who gives Ember access to the social network while he hacks the government databases and skulker who checks on the spot the leads they find

But it's the Box-Lunch family who win by landing without explanation at the mansion. Even they are not sure how they did it, they mostly followed box lunch excited

meanwhile the last trio travels the big cities breaking any speed limit, they kinda forgot why they had come seeing how he likes to troll the Speeders

I wonder if any of them would ask if they can have a custom body too... maybe BL. The comedic potential of a box lunch that takes on a human body with its two "very dead and very sudject has their obsession" parents but new self-proclaimed best friend with Danny and act accordingly

or all, just little Danny leading a gang of semi-eldritch kids with a Tim who's always on the verge of cracking up

All with Tim continuing to panic in the background

the batfam fixes Tim, he has already had manic episodes which ended in chaos but he was strong this time

none of the ghosts think mentioned that danny is kings/prince and now tim is regent of infinity

the possibility of Tim being summoned...poor thing the chaotic dose of fate's punishment for thinking that cloning was a good way to dodge grief
