Its a terrifying scene. The camera angle revealing parts of a science lab straight out of hell. Kitchen knifes and scalpels lay dripping on a table.
On the dissection table- because thats all it could be- lays a small child. Small but noticable gills on the neck, the occasional fleck of scales and webbed fingers mark them as merfolk.
Viewers watch on in horror as the table is bloodied. A steady incision made in the left leg. The Justice League had been contacted but there was no indication they would make it in time to help.
A large Bang! went off in the background of the video, clearly catching the duo off guard. The man turned to his (wife?) with a weird moniter in his hands going off the charts and with an excited yelp they both took off running up the steps that were just barely in frame behind them.
A few long moments later, two teens sneak into the lab. The boy rushed over to unchain their parents 'test subject' while the girl kept watch.
Freshly released limbs had bloody wounds rubbed into the pinned down areas and quiet whispers of empathy were only just picked up by the audio. One of the viewers pointed out that the boy himself had scars in similar places.
The boy picked up the kid and the trio quickly slipped away out of camera view. Soft thuds mark their escape from the house, seemingly unaware of the Livestream their parents were apparently trying to make.
--------------------------
The story makes international news and leaves everyone on high alert. Government agencies scramble to prove they had no connection to the couple, the GIW undergos mass arrest when their names Maddie and Jack Fenton come up on their payroll. A channel is made to document any sightings of the kids.
The first one is posted after a day. It's security footage from a fast food restaruant. Four teens- the two from before plus a goth and someone named ''Tucker''- along with the comparitively tiny Mer sit in a booth. ''Tucker'' and "Sam'' argue about possible dietary restriction before seemingly ordering one of everything. There is soup, and a burger, the largest cup filled with water they could find in the back, chicken tenders and salad.
When the server goes to deliver everything, the four watch them like hawks, understandable given the previous day.
(Did any of them even know Half the world knew what went down? )
(Did any of them know how Aquaman was taking the news of one of his subjects being injured like that? )
( Did any of them realize that their choice to protect the kid was one of the main reasons war hadn't been declared yet on the human race?)
Jasmine is heard softly encouraging the tiny Mer to eat something, anything and eventually the soup is downed and apparently liked enough that she gets up to order more.
Right before they leave, while under the relative safety of a roof, they swap the bandages wrapped around most of the kids leg and arms and slowly tell them about future plans despite the fact that they probably can't understand the language.
(Jasmine points at a laptop screen filled with a view of the ocean. "We" she circles the group with her pinky "are going there to get you home." The atlantian can't speak english but the way their eyes light up and they relax further into Sams side shows they understand the basic message)
(The sight- of the child definitely scared but trusting them enough to get so close- helps calm the atlantians with access to the internet. Somewhere Aquaman finds himself able to breathe slightly easier.)

Fish Are Friends Not Abominations
The entire Justice Leage have been on edge lately watching as a giant creature the size of planet dart around the Milky Way galaxy in an almost panicked state. Despite it's very appearent size it hasn't done anything harmful, passing through planets and stars with intangibility.
Constantine on the other hand was freaking the fuck out. There was a giant realms being with a crazy amount of power searching for something and it felt like the universe itself was holding its breath. He was honestly at his witts end when he felt it.
"YOU! What do you have?" He stopped his pacing to look at Batman's traffic light child.
"That's none of your concern." Robin snapped back.
"Robin." Batman's voice cutting through their little conversation. By now every JL memeber was watching them.
"It's nothing–"
"Oh yes it is, now let me see it."
As if on que a tiny glowing humanoid creature popped into view ontop of Robin's head cooing and making warbled noises.
Constantine paled.
Robin took the being from his head and held it in his arms, pulling out a batarang and giving it to the thing which then began to bite it.
"Robin." Batman started, voice firm but sounding tired.
"This one found me first." He countered.
"It doesn't matter how you found it, we need to–" Constantine's words were cut off as the large creature released a noise that sounded almost like a whale but something like warbled speech mixed into it. What happened next sent his heartbeat into a marathon and his stomach to a deep trench.
Robin's little creature stopped chewing on its toy and responded with a cry of its own.
Welp they were fucked now.
The large creature's head snapped to their direction, eyes directly on the watchtower as if it could perfectly see them from such a distance and sped towards their location.

Dp x DC Prompt: Space Like An Ocean
An alien had taken up residence outside of the Watchtower. Its first appearance immediately started a panic with most of the heroes that could survive in space converging on the station to see whether it was friend or foe. In the end, it did not seem either.
In fact, it seemed fine with just basking and napping wrapped around parts of the Watchtower that made up the outside. It wasn’t the size of the Watchtower, but off and on it was a very near thing.
Humanoid, yet distinctly inhuman. White whispy hair sat atop its head, pointed ears, and the only feature that could be made out of its face were two bright green glowing eyes. A color that sent Batman into a research frenzy. Its skin was void-dark. Almost looking as if a piece of space itself had separated from the cosmos and took and almost snake-like form. Or maybe an eel?
The most notable thing about the creature were its injuries. Multiple lacerations covered it, leaking a green that never touched the Watchtower and seemed to evaporate not long after leaving its body. Any silent attempts to collect it for study and to figure out what it was were met with emotionless green eyes and a bare hint of fang. They backed off quickly.
Flash liked to call it a mer-eel. “Cause it’s got an almost human torso, two arms, and the rest just kind of curls up!”
Wonder Woman was unimpressed with this. “That would suggest it is more like a naga.”
To which Green Lantern replied, “No, no, he’s right. There’s an almost white fin-like bit that goes down the tail like an eel’s does.”
Any more attempts to identify the creature led to nothing and soon the “eel” became a silent fixture of the Watchtower.
It was ages later when Zatanna entered the Watchtower to discuss a completely non-connected case when she stumbled immediately upon leaving the Zeta Tube and had to lean against a wall, breathing heavily.
“Something feels like Death.” Was all she could get out before her eyes rolled into the back of her head and she dropped to the ground. She wouldn’t wake up, dead asleep. Immediate worry all around lead to Justice League Dark being contacted in full.
Constantine with Deadman in tow were ultimately the ones to solve the mystery. It took but a moment for Deadman to be seen thanks to Constantine’s “magic” and war was the first thing apparent on his face. Deadman didn’t even need to leave the Watchtower to know what it was.
“Oh,” he whispered like a prayer. “So that’s where he goes when he takes a break.”
Queue questioning.
“He” turned out to be Phantom, the Ghost King who had apparently decided the Watchtower was a perfect basking spot. Confusion was abound at this.
“No, see,” Deadman tried to explain. “He had two Obsessions and the Watchtower feeds into both. Heroes who protect, as he is a protector spirit himself and probably feels a kinship, and space.”
Constantine and Deadman explained as best as they could, but when the questions finally settled, the last was “Why isn’t Constantine affected like Zatanna? Why aren’t the rest of them affected like Zatanna?”
“That’s easy!” Deadman piped. “None of you are attuned to death magic! I’m a ghost, he’s my King. Zatanna is a magician with experience in most magics. And Constantine doesn’t own enough of his soul to feel the death!”
In the end, a request from Deadman was all it took for things to change. With barely a rumble, Phantom pulled himself from the Watchtower and drifted far enough away for his aura to no longer affect Zatanna. The heroes could only watch in awe as the eel-like god returned to the open ocean of space.
Addition:
There were a giant green eyes observing the conference room. Every hero inside was frozen in place, staring back at the eyes and trying their best not to move a muscle. Phantom had moved from atop the station. Phantom had acknowledged them. Phantom was staring at them from a window of the Watchtower.
No one knew why he was there. Just that suddenly he was. The bright green lighting the entire room with its shine was the only warning they got. They stared. He stared.
Slowly, he moved. A hand-shape pointed with a claw. They were confused. The hand made a pointing motion again.
The table?
Ah. Several shards of kryptonite sat on the table. The topic of the discussion as someone had somehow gotten ahold of the shards and used them against Superman. They needed to know who supplied them.
The hand pointed again.
Why did Phantom want the shards?
Apparently, it wasn’t up to them to question as the pointing hand phased into the room, palm up. Waiting. No one moved for a moment until a white narrowed slit formed in Phantom’s eyes.
Green Lantern was quick to grab the shards (Batman made a token protest, those were his damn it) and placed them in the palm. He shivered as his finger brushed the skin, ice cold washing up and down his spine.
The hand closed, retracted and approached the face. The eyes stared as a large mouth opened (fangs, sharp sharp fangs laid in green) and a tongue popped out. The shards were placed on the tongue and the mouth closed with a sharp crunch.
Phantom grinned almost smugly before he drifted away from the window and back to the top of the Watchtower.
“Did- Did Phantom just ask for a snack?”

Danny was asked where his in memorium is, after saving another civilian on a JL mision.
Danny in all his glory just "hu?"
"You know, so i can put a thank you for saving me ofrend"
"Oh.. i i dont have one- not even in my secret identidy i had a grave... but thank you so much for thinking of that" the sinsere and melancholical smile that the ghost hero give to the civilian was so full of emotion that even the people acros the screen could feel it.
Not knowing that he was recorded, Phantom guve a false saluted and continued with his work.
The video soon become viral, and with that, little by little a lot of in memoriums and shirenes started poping up all around the globe.

Danny's got some shit luck and shittier timing.
So there he is, with an anti-ecto collar stuck on his neck in the middle of Star City while Prometheus is rampaging, darting between toppling buildings.
When he sees a little girl.
So he does what he do; he darts in and barely manages to get her cleared away from the building as it collapses.
From there it's a blur of clutching the little girl to him, cursing his lack of powers, and dodging nonstop.
When all is said and done, Red fucking Arrow (sans an arm what the hell) slams into him to hug the little girl.
Okay. Apparently Danny has successfully saved a heroes daughter; fantastic. Time to run before the GIW track his stupid collar down and collect him.
New Problem; Green Arrow was there when he turned to run, hand already outstretched as the other hero tugs at Danny's lovely neck accessory.
But Danny knows he's well and truly fucked. The Justice League clearly agrees with the anti-ecto acts, clearly work with the government, and will obviously turn him in.
So he begs.
Oliver, who just wanted to thank the savior of his granddaughter, is shocked by the teenager who saved her begging for his life.

Danny finds a new nap spot. Natives are worried.
Ever since Danny became a Halfa, his house hasn't been the safest place to rest at. Its filled with his parents experiments and automatic weaponry and hasn't felt like home for a while. He feels bad having to sleep at Tucker's place and Sam's parents don't really like him but he needs to rest somewhere.
Cue the Ocean 0.0
He hasn't needed to breathe in a long time and having a secondary source of energy for his core would lessen the amount of food he needed to eat.
It's massive and mysterious and he can explore it until his core is satisfied. The sun makes such nice warm spots perfect for naping and with Clockworks help he can make it there in almost no time.
With his parents spending most of the evening and night in their lab or outside the house, he can spend most of his night sleeping there and with a semi-regular sleep schedule at that.
No one even notices hes gone.
The Atlantians sure know hes there though.
Granted they don't notice he's there at first. He finds the perfect space to sleep and doesn't move until its time to go to the surface, but when they notice. They Notice .
Brave researchers acompanied by soldiers try to collect samples of hair and scale and maybe even blood but come up with little to nothing. While they can touch the being, any attempt to remove anything leads to it slipping through their fingers like the water that surounds them.
The only good thing is that the creature seems to be peaceful, only sleeping and then leaving. (where he leaves to, no one knows. They aren't sure they even want to know)

I hope it's okay to send you prompts... sorry if not.
Based on Rainbolt (Geoguesser)
The Fenton siblings have to hide in Gotham when (insert bad reveal scenario here). Dani starts getting antsy when she can't follow her obsession for travel.
Dani starts playing Geoguesser on Jazz's suggestion. It works, especially when she gains a following on (insert twitch knock-off here). People start sending her photos so she can try to find where it was taken and she gets every one correct. She starts doing these over the weekend so she can still play the actual game.
Steph and Cass found the channel first. They thought it could be staged, but then Cass sent in a picture she took in China and it showed up on the next stream. BeenThereSeenThat (the name Dani gave her channel) looked at the picture and lit up.
"I've actually been there! Two years ago, there's this little shop that sneaks leftovers to street kids near this shot. Might be right behind the photographer actually!"
Then she opens the map and zooms in immediately on the little shop Cass had been eating at when she took the picture.
After this, Steph started talking about the streamer with the other bats. Soon they were all sending in pictures from more and more obscure areas. There were a few she claims to have actually been to, but most she had been to the general area and picked up on the traits.
Eventually she was getting submissions from all the younger heroes.
Dani does joint streams with her brother, Danny (Dying4Space), where he finds locations based on the view of the night sky. He geeks out so hard when one of the pictures was taken from space (Jon had taken it to send as an 'I see you' joke to Damian from the watchtower).
Idk where to take this, maybe Danny says the coordinates of the watchtower and Batman takes it as a threat, maybe Dani is doing a stream when Jazz gets taken by a rogue and she locates them from a cracked window in the background. All I know is I want Bruce to begrudgingly respect these kids while thinking they're a threat.
When Dani starts getting haters, Danny has her mod Tucker (1kn0wwh3r3y0ul1v3 (iknowwhereyoulive in 1337 speak)). He starts dming people with their ip address, coordinates, and legal name when they harass his bro's little sister. Tucker is having the time of his life.

Danny Catfishes- DCxDP prompt
Every time Danny learned a new way to use his powers, he used them for his own gain. This time it was Sam using them for her own advantage.
Danny has the ability to shapeshift. Specifically, he can now change his appearance to look like someone else. Specifically, Sam wanted Danny to turn into a girl to attend a women-only dinner party in Gotham. Sam refused to go alone and not taking her boys is off the table.
So Danny had to go as Danna (Because Dani protested the name Danielle)
The event was stressful to say the least. High heels, makeup, long conversations, tight cocktail dresses. Danny was out of his element.
He ended up slipping up and mentioning that his Godfather (the one he had replaced with an alternate redeemed future version of him) was Vlad Masters. The woman at the event practically bulldozed him to try to have their families or businesses connected to Vlad's company.
Fortunately, he was saved by a helpful lady. Cassandra Wayne and her guest, Barbara Gordon.
Sam and Cassandra seemed to hit it off immediately. The four ended up becoming friends by the end of the night.
It was only after the party that Danny realized that they thought he was a girl. The text messages from them to hang out in the future were too tempting. He didn't know how to explain it but hanging with girls was just different from guys. He considered that he might like Cass and Barbara as more then friends but he didn't, he just really liked talking to them. And maybe the dresses weren't that bad .
Back at the Wayne manor Cass posted a few pictures from the dinner.
"Who's she?" Tim asked, hanging over her shoulder.
"That's Danna. Apparently, she his close to Vlad Masters. The one you're investigating." Cass signed, "I was hoping she'd have info on him and his recent change."
"Can you give me her number? She is kinda cute." Tim asked.
-----
"Hey, Sam? Why Is Tim Drake-Wayne messaging me on Instagram? And why do I have a new Instagram page under the name Danna?" Danny asked.
"Because my parents wanted to know who this new female friend I had was, so I asked Tucker to make a page using your email. We have been uploading daily there. It's kind of fun."

Most efficient ER in Gotham
Had the idea of ER nurse Danny and ER doc Damian working in the same ER.
Like their the same age but Danny was working there first (bc it takes less time to become a nurse than a Dr) and everyone in the ER loves him. He is the most component nurse they’ve ever had and is always cool, calm and collected even in the most stressful of times. Drs know that if shit hits the fan they can pass any patient that’s not dying right this second over to Danny and he’ll get them sorted all by himself, cracking jokes the whole time to keep everyone else from freaking out.
Then Damian starts working there and he’s basically a no nonsense Danny. Nothing fazes the guy. On his second day there he handled a gun shoot wound, spinal injury, rib fracture and stabbing all within an hour of starting his shift, all on different patients. He gets in, gets shit done and moves on as if he was dealing with a minor problem not 3rd degree burns.
Now these two, despite working at the same hospital, have never met. Bc Danny works the night shift and Damian works the day and every person that works there is so fucking glad that’s the case bc non of them expect them to get alone. Like Danny’s all wise cracks and jokes and Damian is all ‘stop wasting time’ so even tho they’re both efficient as fuck, no one expects them to tolerate each other.
Then on the first Halloween Damian works there, every member of staff is on shift bc it’s fucking Gotham and all the staff r just bracing for the inevitable fall out of two unstoppable objects colliding. Only it never happens bc these two get alone like a house on fire. Like yeah normally Damian gets up people goofing off but that’s bc their not doing work and just wasting time, he sees nothing wrong with Danny’s jokes bc he’s getting work done while he jokes. It’s like working with Dick, he honestly finds it a bit reassuring bc if Danny is cracking jokes it can’t be that bad. Danny on the other hand is just so glad to have someone else that can keep pace with him. Normally by this time of night he’s juggling 8 to 18 patients on his own with only minimal help from the on shift doctors but now Damian is right there with him and the two r basically tag teaming the hoard of mass casualties that just came in.
Needless to say that night Gotham general was the most efficient hospital on the planet and every doctor and nurse on staff have the horrible realisation that while they had mentally prepared for these two fighting, they hadn’t prepared for the fucking hurricane these two form when they get alone.

Tim: *puts a hand on Danny's shoulder* Imma be real with you. I wanna have an incredibly toxic and consuming relationship with you where my obsession drives me crazy.
Danny: Only if you are okay with me wanting to blur the lines between us until we become inseparable individuals, because the thought of losing you would be no different from death.
Jason:*trying to read in peace* Can I have 5 fucking minutes without you two saying or doing weird shit!
Tim: He's just jealous that Roy doesn't talk to him like this.

Wayne Enterprise DILFs | DP x DC
this just in local 23 year old forgets they wear glasses and i’m at work lmao
in this prompt / au ish kinda thing, danny’s around i would say late 20s so he gets along well with the younger bat clan members because he’s just an honorary family member at this point. he’s also an enabler to bruce and thus a retaliation had to be made (im a firm believer that danny gets tall and buff when he gets proper nutrition and is built like a tank)
☁️☁️☁️☁️
Danny squints at his notepad, the words were small and blurry enough that not even squinting helped clear up whatever was written on it. He’d forgotten his glasses— something that occurs occasionally when he’s trying not to be late to work and it always ends with him struggling. Beside him was Bruce who seemed to equally be squinting at the tablet but at an arms length compared to when Danny brought it up to his face.
“I think this is why my kids keep telling me to get my eyes checked.” Bruce mumbles and Danny can’t help but let out a small snort in amusement. Danny’s aware of how often Bruce’s children nag on the older man about getting his eyes checked now that he’s ‘getting up there in years’ as one Tim Drake said.
“Tell me about it, my youngest— Eleanor but we call her Ellie always nagged on me until I finally went to our family doctor to see. She turned out to be right but I forgot my pair today.”
His pair that were gently coated in ectoplasm since apparently normal glasses couldn’t help with his heightened senses that his ghostly side leaks over to his human side and it’s why he needed them. Frostbite had been eager to get him a pair, something that Danny wanted to be upset about but the gentle yeti was too caring for Danny to deny him.
“Don’t worry about it chum, I’m sure we’ll figure out what’s on the schedule for today.” Bruce says and Danny gives the man an encouraging smile.
“Danny.” Tim’s voice says with a heavy sigh and instinctively Danny wilts like a flower and hangs his head low. That was Tim’s ‘disappointed but being polite about it’ tone and Danny hates that tone because it means Danny made a mistake. Mistakes made by Danny must be made better by Danny by doing something like joining the Wayne family dinners or even— he shivers— modeling for when one of the Waynes can’t do a photo shoot.
“Tim.” He curtly replied as Tim shook his head and placed his hands on his desk.
“Please tell me you didn’t forget your glasses today.”
Danny pressed his lips together.
“Well.”
“Danny.”
He huffs as he picks his head up and crosses his arms, leaning back against the comfortable couch in Tim’s office because that man took power naps like it was his third job. Danny isn’t stupid, he knows the Waynes are the vigilantes that go out but he dutifully ignores that fact and doesn’t say anything because he likes this well paying job even if he’s really a bodyguard posing as a secretary for Bruce.
“I may have misplaced them today.”
Tim groaned loudly in response as Bruce’s lips curled in amusement, Bruce waited for Tim to turn away from them to slide Danny a hundred dollar bill which Danny silently pocketed.
He wasn’t going to snitch out his boss that the reason Danny and Bruce Wayne were seen at an aquatic center to help teach kids to swim that ended up with Bruce ‘tripping’ and falling into pool nearby was because a kid ‘pushed’ him. Really, Tim should know better than to think Danny was going to say no to acting undercover so Bruce can get clues about a case he was working on.
It’s Batman! He’s not going to deny Batman. Even if the two completely scrapped whatever schedule was made to do their own thing.
“I’m telling Alfred. We’re also getting you glasses old man, I’m not accepting any excuses anymore!”
Both Bruce and Danny gave offended gasps.
It’d be later in weeks time where Danny would be on the phone with Jazz, coffee cup in hand as he spoke to her about any recent things and how life was.
“So are you going to tell me why people in Gotham and on the internet are calling you a DILF?” Jazz asks and it causes Danny to choke on his sip of coffee, the heat burning briefly before he managed to croak out a weak.
“What- Who… Tim.”
His work phone rings and all he sees is a message from Tim with a simple smiley face as if the man didn’t drop multiple photos of Danny, Ellie and Dan (whose faces are thankfully blurred) on the internet as revenge. Especially when Danny sees the caption.
Tim Drake ✔️@ceoTDW
Wayne Enterprises loves supporting single fathers! I’m sure you’ve noticed Bruce Wayne’s secretary but are you aware he’s a single father raising his son and daughter? Here’s our photo shoot with him to celebrate one of our loved employees!
How cruel Timothy Drake-Wayne. How cruel. It’s even worse when he sees fucking Gotham Gazette make an article about how people have voted that Danny is a DILF alongside Bruce Wayne and Lucius Fox. As well as the fact that W.E. ‘collects’ attractive employees to boost morale. What the fuck who wrote this— Vicki Vale.
“I’m never going to show my face again.”
Jazz laughs in response.

Dan commits weird and silly crimes so Dick has to solve them.
“Little bird,” Dan sing-songed through the phone. “I took a little something of yours.”
Dick sighed with a small smile on his face. “What’d you do now?”
Even though Dan was a so-called “redeemed” villain, he still enjoyed causing trouble and he especially loved it when Dick was the one to solve it for him. Dick didn’t complain, because it was honestly a weirdly enjoyable form of foreplay.
Dick had expected something like Dan hiding his hero suit, when unexpectedly, Dan snickered and then turned on FaceTime, where he tilted the camera and showed off a small preteen sitting next to him. Said preteen noticed the camera and then glared with an adorable scowl on his face.
“I kidnapped your little brother,” Dan responded with a laugh.
Dick perked up. “Damian! I didn’t know you were in Blüdhaven!”
Damian gave him a look like he was stupid. “No, I’m kidnapped.”
Dick blinked.
“Oh.” And then, “Ohhhh,” he said as the last part was drawn out in dawning realization. Then Dick beamed and said, “Okay, Dami! Just sit tight, okay? I’ll come rescue you from the big bad villain!”
Damian groaned, but he looked amused.
“There’s the hero I know,” Dan purred, eyes half lidded. He was grinning at him wildly before he momentarily shifted away from the camera to hand Damian a tray of French fries and a vegan burger from a fast food restaurant that was on the other side of Blüdhaven. Damian happily accepted it and began eating off camera, but that was all Dick needed to know where to find them.
“I’ll come get you,” Dick said in a determined voice. “Just wait for me.”
Dan snickered again, leaning on a hand. “Bold of you to assume that I’ll let you find us so easily. You better hurry up, pretty bird, or I’ll take you on a wild goose hunt all. Through. Town.” His voice became deeper at the end.
Dick grinned as well, already feeling his heart race at the dark promise in Dan’s eyes when Damian suddenly gagged loudly.
“Ugh! If I knew that you two would be flirting like this, I would’ve stayed in Gotham!”

Danny gets sent by his parents to summer camp as a surprise. Danny isn't exactly happy about it. He opens the door to his cabin and gets introduced to his two bunk mates, Damian Wanye and his older brother Tim. The two had also gotten sent to camp by surprise. In reality, they were sent undercover on a mission to investigate something odd happening in the camp. Tim expected Damian to run Danny off within a week, but that didn't happen now. The two have to work hard to keep their work under the radar while trying to act like normal teens around Danny. Danny is aware of this but doesn't care to get involved up until things get supernatural in nature
Damian and Tim: *seething with rage bc they have to room together while pretending to be normal kids and investigate something suspicious about this summer camp AND the damn kid that they’re rooming with won’t leave*
Danny: *with glowing eyes and ghost powers* Wow, people outside of Illinois are weird asf

Davey Likes People
(Small garden event)
Guy: Is that the new child you've adopted? No one has seen him till now. He's adorable.
Bruce: *carrying Davey* Yes, he isn't the best with public events yet, and we wanted to see how he was today. He likely won't be back in public for some years. Since the event was private and small, we thought he might enjoy it.
Davey: *does grabby hands*
Guy: I think he likes me.
Bruce: He does. How. Nice. He's usually such a shy boy.
(Calls Barbara immediately)
Bruce: Find everything you can on this man and call the police on him.
(A day later)
Barbara: That guy kidnaps and traffics kids. I found his base where he was holding the kids. I called Superman and Nightwing to help with getting the kids evacuated.
Bruce: Thanks, Barbara. And you did good Davey.
Tim: Jason had a point. We should just put him on a leash and let him wander until he finds his next target. Why waste a bloodhound?

Fic prompt #16
Dpxdc
Danny was terribly lonely. His parents had died with the GIW after he discovered a new power he couldn’t control while trying not to be captured. His sister had never discovered he was Phantom, and she was extremely distraught after hearing the news of their parents’ deaths. Fortunately, the cause was left unknown, and the most probable reason was an experiment gone wrong, so she didn’t blame him. Still, she couldn’t stand to remain and look after him.
His friends, at the beginning, were actively helping him fighting ghosts. But after a while, they started to become greedy. Tucker tried to make money out of him, while Sam was treating him like some sort of exotic pet she had raised. He couldn’t stand them anymore and decided to fake an accident where the two of them would hit their heads, so he could eliminate their memories of fighting ghosts and attribute the gap in their memories to the concussion.
Vlad killed himself after hearing of the death of his mother. Valerie was still the Red Huntress and, while she was gentle with Fenton, she wasn’t with Phantom. Dani? She was fighting for her life (or afterlife) in the Far Frozen, after she almost destabilized last month.
And him? He was in college in Gotham and was seriously considering letting this idiotic mugger kill him.
But… he saved me. Red Robin saved me. It was the first time that someone had actually helped him in a really long time, and he got a little bit obsessed. He started stalking him everywhere in both of his identities. He would have tried to kidnap him to make him date him, but he got a boyfriend…
So, taking inspiration from his godfather, he decided to clone him without letting him know he was the one who had created the clone, and play the part of the Good Samaritan to make him fall in love.

DC x DP
The Justice League summons the ghost king.
Unfortunately, the safest way JLD can find requires a host body to contain the being.
Obviously Superman, Wonder Woman, and Flash are out - who knows what this being would do with a super-powered body. They have no idea how Captain Marvel or Green Lantern type magic would interact with the summoning, so not them either. They need Constantine and Zatanna to perform the ritual.
Basically it's down to the bats.
Batman tries to volunteer - better him than one of his kids if anything were to go wrong.
That gets vetoed. As do a lot of his offspring. The safest options (ie the least contaminated by magic, lazarus water, time shenanigans, and everything else) are Red Robin, Spoiler, and Nightwing.
Nightwing pulls rank.
After a lot of arguing, everyone at least agrees to tolerate the arrangement.
Nightwing removes every possible weapon from himself, allows himself to be tied to a chair in the middle of a summoning circle, and waits for JL Dark to complete the ritual.
It's not long before he feels a surge of cold burning through him.
He expected to be unconscious while the Ghost King took over. That's what Zatanna said had been reported the last time this ritual was performed many years ago.
They had all expected a lot of things.
Pariah Dark was supposed to be terrifying to behold - a massive, cruel, FURIOUS dictator who turned to violence at the smallest sleight.
This was... definitely not that.
Dick was present. He had no control over his body, but he could see and hear in an almost dream-like state. Foggy and indistinct, maybe a little warped, but definitely present.
He felt his heart rate and breathing pick up in panic even though he felt mostly calm (or at least no more anxious than he had been, waiting for an angry deity to possess his body and all). It was a strange sensation.
He felt the vibrations of his own voice as it left his throat, high and confused.
"Wha... Where..." It asked, warbling and afraid.
He felt his eyes blink and his limbs struggle against the bindings.
His head tilted down without his say so, and he looked at his own body as if through rippling water, warped lenses.
"I'm not..." His voice came out, still confused. Still afraid.
"Your Majesty?" Zatanna asked from beyond the limits of the circle.
His head whipped up, and he felt his neck click at the abrupt motion.
His breathing picked up again. Dick felt the ghost (pun not intended) of anxiety, like it was leaking from the other consciousness inhabiting his body.
"We mean you no harm. Our associate has agreed to lend you his body for the duration of this meeting." She continued.
Dick felt the king's anxiety again, stronger this time. Other emotions too, guilt, sorrow, anger, and a strange sort of pressing-tugging sensation.
Suddenly, Dick was back in control. He could still feel the king's consciousness, stronger now than before, but he could also move and speak freely.
"What just happened?" He mumbled, speaking to the ghost, not the audience of heroes.
"Nightwing?" Someone called from outside the circle, but he ignored them for the moment, feeling instead the consciousness inhabiting his body push back fear, guilt, and apology.
"Yeah, it's me. He's still in here, though." Dick frowned, trying to figure out how to interact with the being.
He heard a voice in the back of his mind. It sounded like him. It sounded different. It was younger than him. It was small and afraid. It was neutral and quiet and him. But it wasn't. It was speaking. It was silent. It was emotions and thoughts and nothing.
"Oooookay, this is really weird. I think we're communicating. I don't know how to talk back, but if he's in the same situation I was a minute ago he should be able to hear us just fine. Is that right?" Nightwing tried.
The 'voice' (he figured he'd call it a voice for now. He wasn't sure what else he could call it) responded in the affirmative. Like a hand outstretched, flipping up and down in a 'kinda' type of gesture. Like a nod and a hesitant smile. The feeling of victory by default.
Dick beamed.
"Okay yeah he can hear us." He announced for the benefit of their audience. "Why didn't you stay where you could speak? Wouldn't that have been easier?" He looked at his own chest, as if he could somehow find a way to see the presence inside of him.
Disgust. Guilt. Fear. An unexpected step at the bottom of a staircase. Falling off a pier into tempestuous water. A stranger pinning your hands above your head.
"Oh." Dick breathed. "Thank you, but I can handle it."
Guilt. Guilt. GUILT.
"Okay. It's alright. You can speak through me or we can manage like this." He soothed.
"Nightwing, report." Batman demanded.
"Uhh, right. I think he's trying to be courteous? To me, I mean. From what I can gather, he doesn't want to possess me or take over. He seems pretty repulsed by the idea, to be honest. I think he can see and hear and generally experience everything I'm experiencing, he's just more passenger than driver? I can feel him, and he's communicating, he just can't speak through me without taking my autonomy again, and he really doesn't want to do that." Dick explained, looking at the various states of thinly-veiled bewilderment across the faces of the heroes.
"Ask him if he's Pariah Dark, High King of the Infinite Realms, Ancient of Rage and Destructio-" Constantine begins, before Dick cuts him off
"I just said he can hear everything we're saying. Ask him yourself."
Constantine huffs. "You heard me, mate. Are you him?"
Denial. Contemplation. A battle. Single combat. A crown made of black thorns and green flames. A throne too big for he who sits in it. Victory. Desperation. Insufficiency. A question.
"I think..." Dick starts, trying to understand. "I think he's the King... but he's not Pariah Dark."
Agreement. Apology. Questioning.
"He wants to know if we're looking for Pariah Dark, or if we're looking for the High King of the Infinite Realms." He glances between Zatanna and Constantine, uncertain of the answer himself.
Constantine pales.
"Whatever is inside you defeated the ancient of Rage and Destruction in single combat, Nightwing. It's a powerful motherfucker, and a total unknown." He warns cautiously.
"Get him out of there, now. Send it back." Batman demands.
TERROR. Pleading. Unbearable suffering. Shiny metal dripping with green blood. The end of love. Unfathomable loss. Death without release. Unending torment. Begging.
"NO!" The voice tears its way out of Nightwing without his consent.
Cowering. Apology. Apology. Guilt. Apology.
Dick clears his throat. "I don't think he wants to leave."
"All the more reason to send it back." Batman growls.
"Don't." Dick protests. "I know it's a risk, and there's a chance it's manipulating me. But, something doesn't feel right about all of this."
"Ghosts are well known for their skills regarding manipulation, mind control, and emotion tampering." Zatanna cautions.
"According to those dehumanising rags maybe," Constantine scoffs.
"Every source we have-"
"Two sources, Love. Both of which have a bit of a vested interest, wouldn't you say?"
Fear. FEAR. Frustration. Heartbreak. An unheard voice in a crowded room. A layperson lecturing an expert. Mockery. A spectacle of suffering. Lies. Hurt. Fear.
"He agrees with Constantine." Dick pipes in.
Exasperation. Reluctance.
"I don't think he's too happy about it." He laughs.
"Of course he agrees with Constantine, he's giving him what he wants." Red Robin huffs.
"He's afraid." Dick's voice cuts through the argument and the heroes turn to look at him. "I don't know exactly what's happening, but he's terrified of being sent back."
Zatanna sighs. "Let's do what we came to do, and then maybe we'll talk about letting him out."
(Something goes wrong and Dick and Danny end up stuck like this for a while.
Dick moves back into Wayne Manor while they try to figure out how to remove Danny from Dick's body without hurting either of them.
Everybody starts referring to Phantom as Dick's little passenger.
Eventually they repeal the Anti-Ecto Acts and find out all of the trauma Danny's been through via talking and dream/memory bleeding between him and Dick.
When Danny does finally manage to tumble out of Dick he is promptly adopted into the Batfam (what did anyone expect, he's a traumatised young teenager with black hair and blue eyes and barely any sense of self preservation).
In the meantime, however, Dick is happily going about his daily life with his little passenger, and Danny is still very traumatised but he's also contentedly curled up in Dick's chest, thrumming with happiness whenever Dick takes care of him.
Once or twice when Dick gets into Big Danger while vigilante-ing, Phantom forcibly takes over Dick's body to save him, using his ghost powers to fight the bad guy and escape the scenario. He cries afterwards because even though he needed to save Dick's life, he knows how terrifying and violating it feels to have someone else controlling your body (thanks Circus Gothica) and never wants to put anyone else through that.)

Returned-DCxDP prompt
Summoning the literal kind of death was not a good idea. It was actually one of the worst.
Somehow, the fact that he didn't show up was the worst outcome because the runes were working.
Then he started appearing. Randomly he showed himself for brief moments before disappearing again.
He was hunting them.
No one knew his intentions.
One day he showed himself before Arthur Curry, Aquaman. He held something in his arms.
"I can't keep him. It's is better that he is returned to where he better fits." He said, holding Arthur Jr. "AJ here is a handful. I always wanted a little brother, but he needs his family."
