Short DPXDC Prompts #933

Danny is a sort of Disney princess with animals. Not alive ones though, they hate him. The ghost animals of Gotham City absolutely adore him. Harley Quinn watches from her window as a teenager with a glowing raccoon on one shoulder, a tiny scraggly kitten on the other, and a half dozen glowing green rats trailing behind him, just walks past her apartment.

Oh, ho-ho! Damian will be after him in a flash!

First: How dare he exploit these poor animals!?

Second (after actually assessing the situation): He loves these strange meta-animals and they clearly love him! Maybe I COULD have a younger sibling...

Too late Damian. Harley and Ivy have already adopted him. You'll have to marry him if you want him in the family.

Meanwhile Danny? Has been causing chaos with his new Moms. He's having the best time! He got to make a villain persona? With a costume and everything? Nice! New moms let Danny cause problems??? Hell yeah!

Damian takes that in stride. If father can have relations with different rogues(looking at you Talia, Selina, and Harvey), then so can he.

He starts looking into Danny to try and find the best way to woo him.

Probably leaves him like, really high quality telescope or storage pictures and maybe even managed to get him a moon rock from a mission there.

Just trying his best.

He liked it so he wants to put a ring on it, as the song Tim listens to says.

When Bruce heard that Harley had a new side kick he did not know what to expect.

One thing he certainly didn’t expect was a teenager wearing a dog ear headband going by “Hyena” who commanded an army of random glowing green animals.

He was also not expecting for Damian to declare Hyena his beloved.

One thing he did expect was for his other children to blame him for Damian’s taste in partners.

Damian: We shall have a spring wedding!!

Tim: Ah... B did you have to give him your taste in partners?

Dick:... Down to the leather outfit and animal ears...

What if Danny responded to Robin's (very good) gift with a new mad science gadget?

Dick: little D, where did you find this?

Damian: I didn't find it

Tim: Damian let me at least take a look, it might be dangerous

Damian, it's dangerous, but not for me

Bruce: …

Damian: ….

staring contest in progress

Jason: old man I - sees the exchange of intense looks - I'm going to ask the replacement that

Steph who “understood”: it’s cute~

Cass, who is the one who really understood and told Steph: nods and hands over the popcorn

Later that night they get to see what Damian meant by dangerpus, but not for him. The tiny, seriously tiny, spheres were thrown after a fleeing gang member. And unfolded into an electrified net. That apparently only Damian himself could turn off....

Tim: How?!?!?? There's no way these wires should be able to do that!

Damian: Tt. Just because you cannot make such a tool does not disqualify others from doing so!

Jason: Holy shit! Can you get me in touch with your supplier? I am willing to pay for a set of those!

Damian: I shall ask them. This set was a gift after all. Made for me specifically. They may have other ideas for you.

-------

Harley: You made me a proper hammer space!!!! You absolute mad lad! How much can I got in this????

Pam: Hmm. I enjoy the way you created a full set of clean energy generators. And the new hydroponics system dear.

Danny: No problem! And! It can fit anything up to 4 square metres!

YES, ALL OF THE YES!

Damian- I'll only ask them once you admit my beloved is better

Batfam- your beloved 🫨

Damian- yes this was a courting gift they have accepted my pursuit of them and have responded in kind

After much badgering Damian finally allows his siblings to meet Danny in costume. Danny of course is happy to meet them. He knows how much his Starlight cares for them. As oddly as he may show it! So they all meet in a safe house. Danny is already there, in full costume. Yes he even has the muzzle on. Shaped like a hyena snout. His shirt while heavily protective? Still has a pattern on it. 'Careful, I bite' (Danny finds it funny. Harley can't disagree.) It's usually hidden under the reinforced leather jacket. This is the first time the batsibs have seen him without it. Dick and Steph? Are about to cry from laughing. Danny just sits cuddled up to Damian radiating smug glee.

Danny: So! Starlight says you want my designs? As well as, presumably to do the whole shovel talk thing?

Jason: Nah. Only Big Wing cares about that second part. I want mad science gadgets. And I'm willin to pay.

Tim: I need to know how they work! Robin won't let me touch them!

Damian: It was a courting gift from my beloved! Which I have no guarantee you can put back together correctly! I will not allow you to damage it!

Danny cuddled Damian more. While running a hand through his hair. Damian is just say there basking in the affection. Much to the surprise of his siblings. Holy shit. Hyena must be the one.

Danny: I will always make more for you Starlight! But I understand why you won't let your brother touch them. Sure. I'm happy to set up a meeting to discuss the design and price! Mama Harls set me up with a workshop! Plant Momma helps me scavenge the local area for useable parts. Recycling yay!

Steph: So! How'd they find you anyway?

Danny: Oh you know. Had to run away from home for my own safety. Mama Harls saw me with my friends. She was curious and brought out her best boys for a playdate. It just kinda went from there!

Jason: How's that going? I know the clown can be.... An issue for them.

Danny: Oh. You guys don't know yet! Starlight! You didn't tell them?

Damian:.... No beloved, I did not.

Jason: Explain.

Danny: I broke all his bones. He's currently in a body cast? And I made sure to break em bad enough they'll never heal right!

Jason: I approve demon brat. He makes great toys. And he ducked up the clown.

Steph: Wait..... Is that the John Doe in the hospital? How did they not know it's him?

Danny:.... Might have shaved all his hair off. And his face IS one big bruise. I'm sure they'll figure it out once they run his prints or whatever.

Tim: ..... No one tells B. Also, Can I please visit your workshop and swap tips?!?!?!

Danny: Sure. May as well get to know my future in laws!

Cass: Sparring?

Danny has a muzzle?! I need a moment where hes fighting with the bats, maybe in a more remote area, and has to use his wail.

Just like, they all get cornered.

His moms' or Damian give a nod of permission or "go ahead"

Danny steps forward, slides off the muzzle, and unleashes his devastating wail.

Shocked and or awed Batfam

Even better if it's made clear that was a WEAK wail. And

Pam: Level 1 sapling!

Danny *massive concussive force, pushes all the enemies back/knocks them out*

Harley: Great control baby! Yer doing much better!

Btman:... Level 1?

Damian: If my beloved used that ability to its fullest potential.... Well, the next few kilometres would be subject to damage.

Damian: if you ever need to change the geography call danny

Batman is silently having conniptions. Their new rogue is dangerous Damian! Very dangerous! Why him? Did you choose him to torment me? Is that what this is? His sonic attack is stronger than Black Canarys! He needs a sit down. A break. A night where none of his kids give him a damn heart attack!!!!

Hood.... Hood what are you holding? Tell me you didn't get Hyena to make you that. RR... Where are you going? What do you mean it's science time? We have perfectly good workshops at home! Why do all his kids like Hyena so much!!! (He fully understands. If Hyena had been around when he first started? He likely would have befriended him.)

But his baby! His youngest! Is saying he wants to marry him!!! No! Absolutely not! Not any time soon anyway! And Harley is no help. She keep encouraging the boys! She's a menace! Oh no.... Harley is going to be his in law.... Selina will be delighted.

It’s then that Bruce remembers Jon

It was no secret that Jon had a crush on Damian. At least not after Clark publicly blamed him for his little boy growing up, something about Damian inheriting Bruce’s bat like charms.

All Bruce had to do was inject Jon into the paradigm and hope that he disrupts their relationship enough for the two of them to break up.

The worst thing that could happen is that Bruce ends up being Clark’s in law….

Well it’s better than being Harley’s in law.

the only positive point is that harley has certain medical ethics and as a family member can no longer apply as their therapist, not that she won't continue to tell them that he should consult someone
