Dp x DC prompt/idea

What if: we combined 'little shit Danny' who looks like one of the bat kids, and Bruce running oon little to only 8 hours within the last 4 days.

Batman going home from patrol, having had only 8 hours if sleep withing the last 4 almost 5 days because of patrol, Work, galas and business meetings back to back.

Also batman, running into Danny sitting on a roof eating a sub sandwich.

Batman: what are you doing here. Your meant to be at home. Your benched remember. *heavy sigh* whatever I'll just take you back myself.

Danny: huh? Wait-what? No side, I think your mistaking me-

Batman: up we go. Home time. Then I'm gonna make sure your going to bed then me or else penny one is gonna have my head.

- - - -

Danny in the Batcave with a de cowl'd batman, revealing Bruce Wayne's face. Danny still eating his sandwich as Batman aka Bruce lectures him about properly watching your health and injuries especially with a missing spleen, which told Danny that whoever Bruce/Batman thought he was, was missing a spleed.

Danny quickly sensing a message to his sister jazz letting her know he's sorta been kidnapped by a new Fruitloop and activates his tracker.

Jazz: OMW

Also jazz- sprinting to Danny's location across roofs with a creep stick in hand and her eyes slowly starting to glow because of her liminality.

Tim walking down into the Batcave not long later but then pausing eyes directly on Danny as they have a stare off.

Tim: uhhh. B?

B looking at Danny thinking he spoke: hmm?

Tim: B...

B slightly confused: how are you talking. Your mouth isn't moving?

Danny still chewing on his sandwich lifting his hand and pointing to Tim behind Bruce.

Que Bruce looking back and forth between Tim and Danny, eyes squinted as he tries to clear his bleary eyes.

B: but. Your sat here. But your also stood there... What?

Tim: B. That's not me...

B looking at Danny: then who's this?

Tim: HOW AM I MEANT TO KNOW?!

Danny: Hi. I'm the kid you kidnapped, most likely thinking I was your son. But I'm not. And now I know that Batman is Bruce Wayne. Which honeatly. Did not see that coming. I owe Wes sooo much money... Oh god, I can't let Wes know. I'mma be broke. More than I already am...

Then you have Tim and Bruce stood there confused out of their minds as they slowly realise what's happened. Then Tim leave to go get Alfred leaving Bruce and Danny still in the cave.

Not long later jazz shows up running down one of the long entrances/exits for the vehicles holding the creep stick panting, out of breath, and then running up to Bruce about to swing.

B: Babs? Is that you? But. Your walking... Your legs are better. Oh I'm so happy. It's amazing. Your better again. Your dad must be so happy.

Also B- going up to a stunned frozen jazz and hugging her.

Jazz: huh?

Danny: I think he's either concussed or just mentally unwell. Or both. Who knows.

B: your standing again. It's amazing. It's-

Tim who just came down stairs with Alfred: B... What did you do now...

B turning around with a slight smile: TIM! It's Barbra. She's walking again! It's amazing!

Tim: B... That's not Barbra...

B: what? But...

Alfred with the most disappointed look known to man kind: Master Bruce. Miss Barbra is still in the library helping the other still on patrols.

B:... Then who...

Alfred : master Bruce. I'd advise you go to bed before you make more mistakes, you have already exposed your identity. Now, if you do notgo to bed within the next 10 minutes I will personally prevent you from patrolling. I have already been lenient these last 5 days.

B: but-

Alfred: NOW.

B: yup. Bed. Going. Got it.

The following minutes are filled with silence as Bruce hurries to get out of his costume and up the elevator all while Alfred follows him with his gaze alone.

Jazz: huh?

Danny grinning: turns out Batman is Bruce Wayne.

Jazz looking frazzled, confused and still holding her creep stick as if she's gonna swing: wha...

Alfred:my apologies. It appears master Bruce isn't in the best state of mind due to a lack of sleep. Would you like some tea? How may I address you two?.

Jazz: I uhh... Yeah. Tea...

Danny: I'm Danny. This is my sister, Jazz.

Alfred: very well, master Danny, miss Jazz. I will bring some tea shortyl, I hope master Tim is able to get you comfortable while you wait.

Tim: sure thing Alfie.

Following this you get Tim leading Danny and Jazz to a sitting area in the cave, then Alfred coming down with a tray of tea, and decaf coffee for Tim.

Tim proceeds to explain to the two that they were mistaken as him and a family friend who is similar to a sibling due to similar appearances.

Later on Dick, Jason and Steph walk into the cave before freezing realizing that there are civilians and they've take off their masks. They proceed to try and replace them before Tim stops them and tells them Bruce had already messed up.

Tim, Danny and Jazz explain what happened which leads them to bursting in laughter.

- - - -

Jason: wait. I get how Danny got in here. But, how did you get in here?

Jazz: oh... Well, Danny keeps a tracker on his phone in case of emergency that let's me know where he is when he activates it.

Jason: okay, fair. But that still doesn't explain how you got in here, because the exits are all blocked off or unaccesible because they're through the manor.

Jazz: oh, I just followed his tracker, realized he was somewhere that isn't available on foot so I just started phasing through the wall till I got in that tunnel.

Jason: you what?

Jazz: I phased through the wall.

Danny: Jazz... I think your for getting something...

Jazz: what?

Danny: normal people don't phase through walls...

Jazz: what do you- oh. Oh, fuck.

Danny: yeah.

Dick: well... That's cool. We've got metals in here. Duke's gonna be happy. He should be coming down in a few hours to start patrol too.

Duke: nope, already here. I noticed no one had come upstairs yet other than Bruce and got curious.

Steph: HOLY SHIT! Don't sneak up on us like that!

Duke: are you guys really metas? What can you do? I can control light and shadows.

Steph: hey don't just ig-

Jazz: well. Yeah I guess we count as metas, because that category is broad anyway. I can phase through stuff, have increase strength, and emotionally affected fire hair, glowing eyes and fangs, and mild pyro-kinesis.

Duke: swe-heet. What about you dude?

Danny: oh well, strength, fly, invisibility, intagibility/phase through shit, glowing,ice powers... And yeah. That's the basics, yeahthere is more but that other stuff. ... I'm less meta more half human though. So..

Duke: cool~

Dick: hey, why do you guys call it phasing and not density shifting. Isn't that the same?

Jazz: well not exactly. Density shifting is the act of being able to manipulate your density to a molecular level so that you can pass through the molecules of another object. However, it can be blocked with a night dense material.

Danny: whereas phasing is essentially the act of going momentarily intangible while maintaining your density, or more accurately control ably not just momentarily.

Steph: ... Yeah that's too much words for me.

Dick: basically, density shifting -you can still be touched and blocked by some stuff and change how physical you are on the tiny scale. Phasing- you ignore laws of science to not be able to be touched and ignore how thick something is. Right?

Danny: yeah.

Jazz: pretty much yeah.

Steph: sweet.

Dp x DC

Okay, so, I've read a few ideas I've loved where Danny is some sort of babysitter one way or another. Again I've loved them all.

Now que my insomniac ass awake at 4:32 am, due to start work in 3 hours, getting an idea myself where Danny is a babysitter kind of thing. But it's a dead tired idea. Now, before you think about the age gap, this will involve clockwork and his time shenanigans. So while Danny will be a teen as a babysitter and Tim a kid. Time shenanigans related. Turns out Tim and Danny are actually in the same age group, but tTim is just a year older :3

- - - -

"Phantom. My boy. I have a request for you, I would like you to go back in time and look after a young boy for at least 2 possibly 3 or 4 years. I'll make sure your age doesn't increase. And I will owe you a debt for this."

Danny froze. Of course he did. I mean, he'd have helped anyway, but to be able to have an ancient of time indebted to you? That's like. Waw. And he gets a minimum 2 year break from fighting every waking minute. But that just made it sketchy. "What's the catch?"

Clockwork just shakes his head, "no catch my boy. Just a wish to prevent a tragic end. There are only a small hand full of good outcomes that will come from how this boy grows. And only one of that small group is with no outside interactions. If this boy were to down a dark path. So would the dear lady, her people and everyone around."

Again with the cryptic shit. Where he gives you an answer but it's not clear and you need to think or be a genius to figure out the words he's leaving out. Why did time have to be so god damn fragile. Like, even the family of speedys can bend and break it by just running.

Danny could confidently say that the family of speedsters was both the most and least favourite of hero's to clockwork. And a cause for most of his pain when having to deal with time quests for CW.

"Fine. But I get to call in that debt when I want. So what am I doing?"

Of course, CW half explained things, but Danny got the jist. At least he thinks so.

Baby sit a kid who could become the death of thousands, possibly millions. Show him love, make sure he's safe and just enjoy.

And now?

Now, Danny was in the filthy rich aide of the most crime ridden city of America.

But a few years in the past.

Woohoo....

Danny, being a paranoid duck, decided to just watch for a bit and see what's he's working with. And it's wasn't great.

Neglectful parents. Stupid parents. Suicidal child with no regard to safety. A child with understanding of love. Doesn't know what love is. Has severe starvation from physical touch, attention and emotions which he doesn't even realize.

But one thing he does find out.

The kid he's babysitting? Is a child of bad dayum billionaires. Billionaires who wouldn't hire a babysitter because apparently their 5 year old son, is old enough to fend for himself now while they disappear for months at a time.

...

So of course Danny dis the only logical thing possible.

He became the boys ghost babysitter. The one the parents thought was an Imaginary friend and punishes their child for being so 'childish'

Danny- I WONDER WHY ASSHOLES.

So the kid stayed quiet about Danny but they still talked. Danny cleaned, Danny played, Danny helped, Danny even learnt how to cook for the little boy.

The little boy he came to learn was called tim.

Or more precisely TIMOTHY DRAKE. SOON TO BE TIMOTHY DRAKE-WAYNE. HOLY FU-

no Danny. There are kids here. Watch your language.

So Danny did that. For a good two years. He cooked food for rim, cleaned, set his bed, did laundry, taught Tim how to garden and look after plants, how to fight how to use a boe staff, a sword and a few other wepons. Wepons he only knew how to use thanks to Pandora

He even helped Tim with school while somehow still doing his own studies. It turns out when you aren't getting ambushed every hour, you can actually learn alot.

Especially when you have a child genius by your side who seems to be in the same mental age of a high schooler and not the 6-7 year old he is.

Danny found out so much about Tim. His love for photography, physical activities, skateboarding, using a boe staff. Tim loved the colours green and blue. And loved octopuses. Tim, somehow knew what coffee was too.

And that concerned Danny. So he tried to hide it.

But that didn't work.

So instead he bargained. Max one coffee with half an espresso worth of caffeine in it per day as a max. In return, no bedtime schedual as long as he's not a zombie and can function and can get a minimum of 6 hours per night on school nights.

They even had a God damn contract. But it woked. And life continued.

2years passed. And Danny got his green envelope from CW. Tim instantly thought he was leaving because Danny was honest from day one, that he'd have to leave but he'd at least spend 2 years with him. Max 4.

Then Danny opened it, and while Tim stood there defeated thinking he'd lose Danny, Danny turned around with a bright smile. "Well will ya look at that. I'mma stay for another good two years. Ya ain't gettin rid of me that easy."

And Tim? Yeah, Tim was overjoyed. His best friend, best buddie got to stay for another year. Tim ignored the warm fuzzy feeling he got in his chest which a 7year old shouldn't have by any means at all. Besides Danny was about 13 years older than him.

Another two years passed. A unique exploration of different cuisines, teaching Tim how to cook some basics. Danny learning how to play the piano. Tim learning some martial arts styles. Growing fruit treats, Berry bushes and some other things, especially flowers.

And a special plant. An infinity realms plant. One that would change between blue and green, would glow slightly and had mild sentience.

Danny gifted it to Tim on his last day, as a parting gift, telling him that the plant will only respond positively to him and Danny because he infused some extra echo into it to recognize them.

But in those two years Danny also started studying some collage level books by himself, learnt some defensive combat styles, he learnt so much.

But especially, he learnt how to love someone. Before you say anything, before Danny returned to his time Danny just saw Tim as a kid he looked after. But when he returned and saw Tim on the news, his heart would flutter. That had never happened before. And he had a whole closet case, and gay panic session that spanned over a good half year.

But Danny feels morally conflict by these feeling. I mean. He basically raised the kid for 4 years because his parents wouldn't. Well. He ain't rly a kid anymore. But, that's besides the point.

He probably doesn't even remember Danny and just thinks he was an Imaginary friend.

Meanwhile. Tim, in Gotham, researching a fake government organization that is giant against the Meta rights act for being they call 'ecto-entities' which, both Satan and Raven confirmed are actual beings from a different realm that's connected to every dimension. Heck, even Constantine said the same thing, and he's the best of the best. His description was - like the stitches that hold the dimensions together, that aren't right so that you can easily accessible the other side of the stitches but not so loose that they aren't connected, but that point were it's lose but still closes the gap and holds all the important things like blood and insides within it. And the blood and internal organs in this case would be stuff like different after life's, before life's and limbo and limbo equivalent.

So now, Tim was working with Duke and Jason to do investigative work on these excto-beings which are being hunted by the idiotic mis Ecto-Soginistic assholes.

Now imagine time surprise, when he finds a blurry image of a certain white haired teen he had a crush on when he was a kid. The same one who taught his so many things. How to fight, how to love, how to cook, different hobbies and so much more.

They even had the same name.

Phantom...

More deeper searching finds that phantom had only showed up about six years ago. When Tim was 15.

But phantom started disappearing around 2 years. But that didn't make sense. Because in the photos, phantom looked around 14-17. But Tim remembered him looking about 20. And him saying he was 20.

Then he saw something else. Something too coincidental.

A fourteen year old boy getting into an accident 6 years ago. Then phantom showing up.

The said boy having poor attendance and always disalearinf when a ghost appeared.

The said boy, moving cities to start looking for collage as he takes a gap year to raise money in a bigger city. The same year and month phantom almost starts showing up never...

Yeah. Tim really didn't think it was a coincidence.

They even looked extremely similar. This black haired, blue eyed, pale, freckled guy looked like a cooler inverse of phantom.

Other than phantom having pointed fangs and elfish ears. Everything was identical.

So. It was decided. Tim was going to meet phantom.... Sorry. He meant Fenton.

Duke was coming with, for his eyes because he can see things they can't.

Jason was coming for intimidation reasons. And possible connection to the ecto-beings, because he had always mentioned going somewhere when he was dead. He didn't remember it but the magic specialists said it was most likely the infinity realms. The living place of ecto-beings.

Time for a road trip!!!

And time for reliving his childhood crush, with an actual chance of it happening. Especially if his guess was right then he was even older than him.

Maybe only by a year. But still older. Tim was taking any bonuses he could. And he looked good when he tried, to he actually had a chance to woo him, unlike when he was a kid.

No. Danny didn't freeze from shock then proceed to faint when he opened his apartment door to find a certain Timothy Drake-Wayne at his door...

The same one who gave him an existential crisis at age 20.

The same one who made him question his morals.

The same one he raised as a parental/friend figure for 4 years.

The same one that made him question his sexuality.

Yeah, Danny was doomed. He couldn't keep secrets from a face like that. And to say the look of surprise on Tim's brother's faces wasn't expected when he started spilling everything on accident, would be a big fat lie.

"Nu-uh"

"... The fuck you mean nu-uh?!?!"

- - - - - - DP X DC IDEA/PROMPT

Danny- minding his own business as the ghost king looking to be in his mid twenties, despite being a good enough age to be considered an elderly of elderly civilians, because his status as a half a made him stop ageing physically when he reached his mid 20's. Now out grew his friends and families, and only has Dante(evil reformed Danny) and Ellie(Danielle, the clone) left as family. Also part one of the first hero's to ever exist before the JL even formed and before Batman and what not. And Vlad turned out not to be a half a just a human who was slowly turning more and more liminal till he died eventually too, he did have a longer life though.

Also Danny- reached his limit of being able to keep his sanity and live in Amity, so decidedly going on a world wide tour with Dan(Dante) and Ellie to visit all sorts of places. And also decidedly, staying in some places for a good few years because of their love for the place and finding something new to keep themselves sain.

Also, Also Danny- An extreme polyglot with his two only siblings left, who have the most widest and randonest set of skills from all of the world.

Dante- finding out he has a love for the arts, like painting, photography and fashion and is talented at them, but keeps the tough guy act out of habit and weirdness if he suddenly starts acting friendly.

Danielle- finding out her passion is for sports and sciences. Has the ability to apply for the Olympics in a few of her favourite sports but doesn't to not draw attention and has a masters in civil and mechanical engineering.

All three of them- a good amount of decades have passed after jazz and their friends died of natural causes (old age) and explored more of the world than one person can do in a life time, of course not paying for travel fees and taking advantage of their smarts to make fake identities, work and living visas and so on.

In gotham: Tim and Duke looking into a missing persons report filed for three siblings, for a certain super- superhero, because he is currently off world and bats left it to them.

Duke: uhhh, Tim?

Tim busy looking at his phone doom scrolling waiting for facial recognition to finish loading: hmm?

Duke: what did you say the siblings names were again?

Tim: uhh. Registered as Dante, Daniel and Danielle- Wise, born in California moved to metropolis when they gained emancipation from their parents Jacqueline and Malcom Wise because of neglect who died when the youngest child turned 20, 5 years after their emancipation. Why?

Duke: .... Uhh, well. I don't know what's happening, but the face rec is done. And. Well... There is like a 100 different results. All the same face and first names just different surnames and different origins on nationality?

Tim finally looking up: huh?

Tim and Duke doing more research.

Tim: okay. So what have we got so far?

Duke: we know that their names are most likely Dante, Daniel and Danielle, they each have about 5 different identities each. All following a similar story of either dead parents, emancipation, orphans or something to excuse guardianships. All three are extremely smart AND talented- which might I add is unfair- but all that spans across every identity. The only identity that is inconsistent is the one dated back to being , possibly their original identities as Fentons, the children of The DR's. Fenton. Who died a good long time ago along with their oldest daughter Jazzmin Fenton.

Tim: okay... So... Immortals maybe?

Dake: maybe? We need to tell Bruce. And Clark.

Tim and Duke- reporting their findings to Bruce and Clark respectively. Continuing their search when suddenly getting a ping that there is a new identity under the similar faces.

The 3 siblings in gotham:

Danny: okay. So. New life. What are the plans?

Dan: I'mma work in Fashion. Make some money. And a photography gig on the side.

Ellie: I'mma apply for gotham U. I hear they have a great stem coars and excellent sports facilities. And I saw a cute cat cafe down the street, might apply to work there.

Danny: okay, okay. Solid. I might go for gotham U too. Probably gonna try the Aerospace engineering coarse, I hear gotham has great engineering classes and the sylibus has updated since I last checked. And might apply for work at a enrichment center. Been meaning to get some more exercise lately.

Dan: okay. Ellie, what's the status on money?

Ellie: still got money left over from the inheritance from Vlad and our parents. Like, I mean, they got a lot from their patents. And they had a lot of them too. Besides we keep applying for jobs so we keep earning too.

Danny: okay then. Here's to our new life as Nightingales.

Some times in the future after Tim and Duke got some of the Bat family involved and tracked down the siblings. Who quite obviously could tell they were there, cornering them on a roof.

Red Robin: so. The Nightingales. Mind telling us why you guys have about 6 different identities?

Signal: first your children of doctors. Then your British, then your from the baltics with a english mother. The list goes on.

Ellie: I don't know what your talking about but that ain't us. We're just 3 orphaned kids who are living quite well in life and-

RedHood: orphaned or without a guardian like the other 5 times, and have degrees in God knows how many subjects.

Dan: ... (Whisper shouting) I told you we should've changed the story. And out looks.

Batman: look, we don't want trouble, we just wanna talk. And maybe we can figure out something so that-

Danny devoid of sleep because he developed an addiction to the coffee from the place Ellie now works at: NU-UH!

Stunned silence.

Dan and Ellie holding laughter in.

Nightwing snickering in the back with RedHood turning away trying to calm down and not laugh.

Oracle listening in: The fuck does he Mean 'NU-UH'?!?!

Batman just tired from all this shit:the fuck you mean Nu-uh?!

Danny crossing his arms pulling a face and changing his voice to 'duh' sound: Nu-uh.

Shenanigans ensue with all the bats and birds in either stunned silence or uncontrollable laughter. Dan and Ellie recovering in half laughs dragging Danny away and escaping the scene.

They get chaced down almost every other night by the bats and birds, finding one way or another to get the word 'Nu-uh' in before Batman can even speak.

---

Batman: look, er just want to-

Dan, Danny and Ellie pulling out a sign from seemingly nowhere whith the word 'Nu-uh' written in bold colourful bubble writing on it. Then escaping after handing it to Batman.

---

Nightwing: please. We just want to talk-

The 3 siblings stood Silently listening.

Nightwing: I... Huh?

Dan: go on. We're listening.

Nightwing: but... I... Where is....

Radhood: what this birdbrain is trying to say, is, are you not gonna find a way to say your catchphrase before disappearing?

Ellie: nah. We ran out of unique ideas on how to deliver the message. The glitter bomb was my favorite.

Dan: the paint bomb was mine.

Danny: I'm still embarrassed at the fact that that was what my sleep deprived brain said. But the writing with knocked out criminals was my favorite.

Dan: heh, that was my idea.

Ellie: the glitter and paint was my idea.

RedHood: holy fuck... I guess we should just be glad their not villains.... If they were wed be doomed...

Dan: uhh.... Wellll.....

Signal: what's that meant to mean. Your not villains. Right? Please. Don't tell me you are. Why. God why can things just be simple. FOR ONCE! PLEASE!

Ellie: no. Not villains. Not really. But Dan, is a reformed villain. But that was like. Decades ago. So your fine.

Dan: besides. I only became evil because my mind got infected by a creepy old fruit loop.

Danny, Ellie and Dan all simultaneously shivering in disgust: ugh...

. . .

Red Robin: ... I'm too tired for this. I need a coffee...

. . .

Batman: how would you kids like to live in a mansion? Or maybe become vigilantes?

All the bats and birds other than Batman groan simultaneously with some muttering about adoption obsessions.

Dan:...

Danny:...

Ellie:...

. . .

Dan: FRUITLOOP!

Danny: FRUITLOOP!

Ellie: FRUITLOOP!

Jon, while trying to ask Damian out and drowning in 'having crush on my best friend hell,' starts gifting Damian pretty rocks.

Every time he finds a pretty stone, he puts it in his pocket, and the next time he sees Damian, he hands them to the boy with no explanation.

Damian, while confused, keeps them like precious treasures. He even gets a display case.

It is only after he watches a documentary about the Antarctic with Cass one night that he understands what's going on.

He calls for the Super immediately, and Jon arrives in minutes with a new blue stone in hand.

"Are you attempting to court me like a penguin?"

"That depends. Is it working?" And offers the new rock gingerly.

"Unfortunately, yes."

Damian has to get a bigger display case because his alien boyfriend decides he needs space rocks, too.

Your trauma is my trauma

Again, I've seen so many ideas of demon twins AU. Danny died and got sent to Denton's weather by accident or Talia putting him in the pits reviving him and then gets adopted by the Denton's one way or another.

But what if it wasn't Danny who died. And instead Damian. He gets thrown in the pits, eyes turn green and something happens to cause Damiansville memories to become comfudled.

It'd go something like this:

Danny is the older twin by a minute or so, they are completely identical to the smallest thing. But Danny was the slightly smarter twin, the slightly stronger, slightly durable and just slightly better. Ra's wouldn't exactly be happy about this but the older twin is still the stronger so he isn't complaining. He is sceptical about their bond thought.

Together Danny and Damian work more efficiently and better than alone, this makes Ra's consider that keeping them both isn't bad and that the second twin could be kept for shadow leading alongside the first twin. And that was the plan.

But then on a group assignment where the twins were sent to train/pass/test new recruits, it turns out the new recruits were enemy spies sent to kill the twins. So now, normally the twins would've been fine, but they'd been poisoned therefore they're in a weaker state. And 2 almost 10 year old assassins against approximately 20+ secretly trained adults isn't fair odds even if they're all trained. But they fight. And they win.

But not without injuries. Which Damian got the worst because the poison affected more because he took more in. (I'mma say they were poisoned via water.) And therefore Damian dies and Danyal (Danny) is distraught. The once inceperable prodigy twins are now only one prodigy child who lost his other half.

But surprise Talia has somewhat of a heart and can't stand it so she puts Damian into the pits which makes his eyes green. Ra's finds out and isn't happy. But he let's Damian live only after altering his memories so that he thinks Danyal died and that it was via trial by combat and that Damian killed Danyal because he wouldn't kill Damian. Then Talia sends him to Bruce, all while being blackmailed with Damian slide to keep quiet about Damian being alive.

Meanwhile Danny goes on his first mission without Damian, and it's to assassinate the Fenton's because they're studying sommet similar to the Lazarus pits and Ra's doesn't like that. And this is when Danny has his accident, because after completing his task he goes into the portal to take it apart but then that accident happens.

He completes the mission and goes back to Nanda parbit. And he grows up keeping his newly discovered abilities and status as a half ghost a secret. (Danny has the ability to open portals if he has enough energy) that's how he learns about the infinity realms.

Years pas, with ra's managing to keep Danyal and Damian seperate from each other, but when they turn 15 Ra's is in the process of being killed and Danyal is there where the bats and birds are because he's meant to protect his grandfather.

So que a fully masked and covered young looking assassin appearing to fight against the bats and birds who is holding up extremely well against multiple of them put against them. But the assassin is getting the upper hand. Until Robin notices something and joins in with the other 2 or 3 bats/birds. And all of a sudden it a fight just between this assassin and Robin who look absolutely in sync and in equal standing with their katanas.

They fight the entire time till Ra's is killed and the bats and birds are now watching the fight till they both suddenly stop in that cliche fighting way with their katanas stopping in at a vital point. And the assassin speaks up for the first time in a shakey voice.

"Damian?... "

"Danyal?... "

And in pure dramatic bliss both drop their swords and pull of their masks in a mix of disbelief and relief. Shaking. And grieving. And of course run to each other and hug each other.

After that idk. But lots of chaos.

I got this idea when I read a new demon twins AU and it just popped into my head. Cuz normally witht hem you get the younger twin being Danny and so on. Then my brain went "what if... "

And I went to write the idea which was meant to be a prompt but as I started writing I got more ideas and continued writing so it's become an idea instead of prompt. Might write a story with it but idk. I like it.

Anyway, daily reminder from a culturally isolated Romani person.

Gypsy does not mean wanderer.

It literally means ‘people from egypt’ or similar, as europeans believed Romani people were from Egypt. It has become known similar to nomad due to how our ancestors have been forced to be nomadic due to racism and ostracization, but it is a SLUR.

Romani people are STILL being forcibly sterilized.

Romani people are STILL being forced into ghettos.

Romani people are still facing violence and danger in countless European countries- and recently, I’ve seen the beginnings of the extremes in the United States.

Have a little fucking respect and DON’T USE A SLUR THAT’S BEEN USED FOR CENTURIES AGAINST US.

And for the love of whatever’s up there, ESPECIALLY do not use it to describe your witchcraft. It is playing on the ‘magic gypsy’ trope, and is EXTREMELY insulting.

non romani people, please reblog this.

[lexus-k4]

Imagine Robin and Danny staying in touch because he realised that he can use Danny as a training partner and doesn't have to worry about kill him and Danny can improve his skills for self defense reasons and because he has nothing else to do. Damian gets a friend and it's a half dead teenager.

Danny’s (Un)Deadly Detour

Danny Fenton should have known better.

Gotham was not a pit stop for casual road trips. It was the kind of city that screamed “keep driving,” especially for someone with Fenton Luck™. But he’d needed gas, a snack, and maybe a picture of Wayne Tower for Jazz. What he hadn’t needed? To get kidnapped by a clown on bath salts.

But here he was. Tied to a rickety metal chair in the middle of an abandoned amusement park, with cameras pointed at him from every angle. And the Joker—the actual Joker—was monologuing.

Again.

“…and this, my sweet little roaches of Gotham, is what happens when you wander into my city without a sense of humor!” the Joker cackled, his voice sharp and jittery as he zoomed in on Danny’s blank, deadpan face. “Let’s see what the Bat thinks of this fresh-faced nobody!”

Danny sighed. Loudly. “You know, if you’re gonna monologue, can I at least get popcorn? By the way the name is Danny.”

“Rude!” the Joker snapped, flinging a pie at him. Danny let it hit. Custard wasn’t the weirdest thing he’d dealt with today.

But the worst was yet to come.

Joker danced over to a second chair—this one wheeled in by a henchman—and with dramatic flair, yanked the bag off the second hostage.

It was Robin.

Not Nightwing, not Red Hood—nope, the angriest of them all. The one with the sword that had to be taught not to kill.

Robin’s sword was gone, but the glare on his face could cut through steel. “You will regret this,” he snarled.

“Ohohoho!” Joker shrieked with glee. “Isn’t this just delicious! A no-name civilian and Gotham’s pint-sized prodigy! Let’s spice things up, shall we?”

He pulled a lever, and both chairs were suddenly suspended above a vat of glowing green chemicals.

Danny blinked. “You have to be kidding me. That’s actual toxic goo? Like, cliché supervillain-grade?”

“It’s authentic!” Joker sang. “You’re welcome!”

A signal light flashed. Batman was watching the stream.

“Here’s the game, Batsy,” Joker said to the camera, eyes manic. “You choose! Robin, your precious brat—or the poor, sweet innocent who made the mistake of existing in Gotham. Pick one to save. Or I drop them both.”

Robin scowled but said nothing. Batman’s voice came through a speaker—low, angry, calculating. He was trying to buy time. “Let them both go, Joker. This won’t end well for you.”

“Oh, I know, Bats,” Joker giggled. “That’s what makes it fun!”

Danny, meanwhile, had had enough. He rolled his shoulders slightly. The ropes weren’t great—they were tight, but not ghost-proof. And he really didn’t want to risk Robin getting hurt.

Danny exhaled. “Welp. Time to Fenton this up.”

Before anyone could stop him, he broke free of his restraints with a loud snap, flipped forward—and let himself fall into the vat of chemicals.

“DANNY!” Robin shouted, jerking in his bonds.

Even the Joker stared in stunned silence. “Did… did he just—did he really—?”

Batman’s voice cut in, alarmed. “No!”

The vat bubbled.

The camera zoomed in.

The feed went black.

Joker didn’t have long to process the shock. A cold wind whooshed through the funhouse, flickering lights and rattling metal. The shadows stretched too long, too thin.

“Wha—what is this?!” he hissed, looking around. “Where’s my laugh track?!”

Then, behind him: a voice.

“I died,” it said, whispery and echoing, “because of you.”

The Joker spun—and froze.

Floating in midair, eyes glowing toxic green, was a white-haired, fanged apparition. Phantom. Danny. And he looked pissed.

“You killed me,” Danny intoned, letting the lights flicker with every word. “You wanted a show. I hope you enjoyed it.”

Joker stumbled backward, babbling nonsense. “N-no—this isn’t—there’s no such thing as ghosts—!”

Danny opened his mouth and let out a low, haunting wail—enough to shake the floorboards and rattle the Joker’s bones.

The clown's eyes rolled up into his head, and with a pitiful whimper, he collapsed in a heap.

…and soiled himself.

Five minutes later, Batman burst in through the skylight. Robin was already free, sword in hand, glaring down at the unconscious Joker.

“What happened?” Batman demanded.

Robin looked up. “He jumped in. Broke the feed. Then came back as a ghost and scared Joker into unconsciousness.”

Danny floated down behind them and shrugged. “It was either that or listen to another twenty minutes of his monologue. No offense, but your rogue gallery sucks.”

Batman stared at him.

“…You’re a ghost.”

Danny gave a lazy salute. “Half ghost, technically. Long story. Want some popcorn?”

Robin, for the record, was still annoyed. “You could have warned me before pretending to die in front of me!”

Danny grinned. “Where’s the fun in that?”

Moral of the story: Never road trip through Gotham. Especially not with Fenton luck.

Dp x DC ideas/prompt

I think from now on I'm just calling them ideas/prompts and not just prompts because they end up being more than I initially intended them to be.... °_°

"The names Flash. What's yours?"

So what if Danny never bacame a halfa. But he still had his accident. And what if Danny's parents were extremely ****phobic people in almost every way because they are the 'traditional way' type of parents.

Homophobic? Yes sir, you need to marry the opposite gender, we want biological grandkids and being with the same gender is just wrong and if you were meant to be trans then you wouldn't have been born the way you was.

Metta phobic? Yes sir, they can't be humans if they aren't like normal humans have been since day one.

Ghost phobic? Of course, that's their work.

And so on. So when Danny had his accident and came out with powers it didn't end well. They weren't ghost powers, no. He didn't die. The portal didn't work. Danny only got heavily electicuted with a mixture of chemicals entering his genes.

Which caused his Metta gene to awaken.

He tried to keep it quiet. He really did. But he can only hide it so muchwhen all of a sudden his metabolism has increased ten fold, w hen all of a sudden he's completing things way faster than normal. When he is all of a sudden producing more static shocks than normal. When he is leaving things to the last minute and yet still managing to complete things perfectly. When sometimes it seems that he is talking too fast.

So when Danny's parents found out, they didn't take it well. Even when Danny tried to deny it.

But Danny didn't even know what was happening. All he knew is that after being electrocuted by the thing that was meant to be a portal he apparently he died from the electricity but also got brought back by it, because it shocked his hear back into working. And after that he was faster. Faster than possible. He knew that all of a sudden he was extremely hungry, constantly. He knew that for some reason his thought had been increasingly faster just like his physical speed.

And he knew that he was scared.

Scared of what's happening to him, of how his parents will react, of how his friends will react. He was scared of not knowing.

So when his parents find out all hell breaks lose and Danny has to leave home. When he was told to pack his bags and leave he did. Maybe at an inhumanely speed but he did. And out of sheer spite he took all the lose change around the house along with any and all snacks and went to buy even more high kallorie snacks. Packed his duffle bag with all his clothes and took the sleeping bag they bad for camping and left. He ran from home.

He maybe spends a year moving city to city trying to find a place to stay picking up jobs along the way (all somehow legal) earning money and having a diet of mainly high kallorie foods and snacks and whatever cheep water he could get from gas stations and convenience stores.

Then he gets to star city. And he found out not long ago that his powers were called meta abilities. And moving to star City he found out that there was a city highly populated by metals called central City. So he made his way to central City as a next stop. And the day he arrived he by chance encountered the flash. Who he didnt know about till he met him might I add.

And he met him by being caught up in a building fired, and as he was about to run, someone runs up to him wearinf a red costume thing, and goes to grab him. Of course Danny being the paranoid shit he is goes to swat away the guys hand before he realised he was using his speed again and stopped just as the red guy looks stunned before going even faster and taking him out the building.

He went faster. That's all that played through Danny's head after that incident.

Taking the chance Danny ran away from the scene with all his stuff and went to research this city. He knew about hero's and what not. But he didn't know much because his parents never let him to even know about them. So finding out there was a speed based hero called the flash in Central City, made him feel hope.

So Danny went about ways to try find the guy.

Meanwhile Barry Allen was in star labs ranting to Katelyn and Cisco about how there was a guy that moved fast when he tried to rescue him. Bart walks in with Wally, and over hear part of the conversation before he realises what they were talking about and blurts out words before thinking.

Bart: OH OH. Is this when we get to meet Danny? He's so cool. When do we get to meet him? Do we get to meet him? Ihopewegettomeethim, hesgotamazinghumour, itsalwasyfunnytowatchhimcausemigrains.

Barry: wait. What? Who? Who's Danny?

Bart: ... Ohhhh. You've Just met him. Oh, yeesh.. Well... I'm... Gonna goooo...

----

Danny and Barry meet again when Danny is sat on a roof trying to figure out what to do and Barry goes there thinking he's gonna jump.

But when Barry speaks, Danny turns and instantly gasps.

Danny: Your the flash. Oh thank god, I've been trying to figure out how to talk to you and I really wanna talk. You're fast and I thought that maybeyoucan helpmebecauseIdontknowwhatimdoingorehatshappeningandIjus...

Barry: wow wow wow. Calm down. Are you by any chance called Danny?

Danny: yeah. H-how did you know?

---

From there Danny and Barry talk, and get to know each other. Danny tells Barry about his parents which later leads to Barry contacting Batman to help with making them suffer. Barry takes Danny to star labs, everyone meets him, Bart is super stoked and Wally is happy to get someone knew to teach things to and a new friend. And Danny is just happy. He's now got people to call a family. Mentors, friends and he feels accepted. And he's become another speed hero.

I'll be honest, most of the ideas I write down I either get randomly or it's a type of thing I wanna read but can't find so I decide to write it before it's too late :3. But yeah. In this the fentons are shit parents ghosts don't exist and flash adopts Danny because yes.

Speedy Gonzales Danny. :D

[lexus-k4]

Damian still looking at his new sisters. "I wasn't aware you had any sisters. Were they hidden siblings?"

Danyal realizing he has a lot of explaining to do. "Looks like I have quite a bit of explaining and catching up to do habibi. Let's sit down for some dinner first, it's been a while since we've sat together to eat."

Damian without hesitation asks Alfred, who was silently stood at the back of the watching crowd consisting of his family, if dinner will be served soon and Alfred responds with a quick it's already ready to sit down and eat.

Damian leads Danyal Jazz and Ellie to the dining room and they all sit next to each other. And as they begin to eat Danyal slowly starts to explain each of Damians questions- "to start with it all, I guess I should say this. The mission I went on. It was to investigate a new Lazarus pits. All was well, till the floor gave out beneath me. And I fell into the pits."

A few of the other kids at the table choked on either their food or drinks or just took a very surprised double take. And Damian continued. "Yes. When another assassin was sent to do recon, and figure out what happened to you they saw the collapsed floor and your Katana dug into the ledge."

"Hmmm. Yes. I originally tried to stop my fall with my Katana but then a rock from above knocked me down and into the pits." Danyal responded. He took a bite from the offered bread roles set at the table.

Damian, in the process of remembering that event all those years ago spoke up in a quiet voice. "We thought you were dead."

Danyal was quiet for a moment before responding with a short -so did I, as a response. "But no. Instead I got sent to a different dimension. One were the league doesn't exist. No Batman. No mother, no grandfather. Nothing I knew... "

-Danyal goes to explain everything that happened to him in the other dimension other than the key facts such as him now being a king and that he's half dead, he only subtully indicated that he was different and close to a state of death called liminality. And doing so gave a signal to Damian that there was more.

Overall, the dinner got a whole lot of reactions, with the majority being the members of Damians family. Overall when the dinner finished Danyal could feel for many emotions all over the place. Especially when Danyal had to explain that Ellie was a clone who became another adopted sister.

"If you accept them as family then I do to." Was what Damian said when he called Jazz and Ellie family.

"Yes. Ellie is still learning things and I'm teaching her our mother tongue, Arabic at her request. She wished to know more if her heritage. Jazz already knows Arabic as a way to bond with me when I first joined her family, and she knows some fighting styles. Not to leagues standard, however she is capable. And she is also a highly liminal individual due to exposure."

If anyone saw Danyal avoiding looking in his sisters direction with slightly pink tinted ears, no one said anything but the smirks on a few of them and his sisters said everything. Damian just nonded in understanding. "Then, I feel like it'd be best to see her level of understanding. But for now let's get settled. It would be best to introduce you to my father and the rest of the family. And I feel it's only fair to show you my hobbies."

Danyal froze hearing that word. Hobbies. Something they weren't allowed in the league. "You mean... "

Damian just nodded. And without thinking Danyal just hugged Damian. One hand pressing Damians head into the crook of his shoulder as he buried his head into the crown of Damians head. "I'm so glad. I'm so happy. I really am."

Later that day, Damian showed Danyal and his new sisters his art, his pets his sword collections and Danyal Katana which he saved. And in private Danyal told Damian the truth of him being a half a and a king. There were some tears but Danyal was till alive. He was there. So he was happy. Then they went down to the cave, after Damian told them that his fathers whole family was in the bat business. Damian had a short sparing match with Jazz.

This is when they discover that Jazz is a bit more liminal than they thought when her hair goes into a bright orange and red burst of flame and her eyes illuminate a vibrant teal as her incisors become sharp fangs and is able to fly when her hair is on fire.

Duke, who was in the crowd became happy that he was no longer the only meta and Damian approved of Jasmine's capabilities.

Not sure where else to take it. But oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Someone else can add if they want. I feel like if/when Danyal find out about Damians clones he would go ballistics. So there is an idea.

An Al Ghul first

DP x DC Prompt

Damian had an older half-brother that he loved. Danyal was his name, and he was the best fighter in the entire League, even better than Ra's and Talia combined. Danyal was even a brother who encouraged Damian to follow the things he wanted to do behind the backs of Talia and Ra's.

The last Damian ever saw Danyal was right before he left on a mission that may lead to a new Lazarus Pit when Damian was 8 and Danyal was 10. And right before Danyal left, he had embraced Damian and left a parting forehead kiss, saying that he'll be back soon.

Danyal had found the Lazarus Pit but had fallen in it after the ground beneath him gave away, and he didn't have enough time to react, as he was busy drawing for Damian about Goliath and other animals Damian would like.

Danyal was sent to the Infinite Realms and then put in another dimension near a place called Amity Park. He's got no time for friends or school. He needs to get back to his younger brother. Danyal uses his brain to hack into the school database and remove his name from it, effectively stopping him from ever meeting Sam and Tucker and stopping Dan from happening.

Danyal spends the next couple of years trying to find a way back to his home. And since the Fenton parents are always busy, that leaves just the "older sister" he has to deal with on distracting. He likes that she tries to get to know his culture better than the adult Fentons, as she calls him Danyal and not Danny or Danno like the adult Fentons. She even tries to learn how to make food from this world's version of where he's from.

Danyal still became a Halfa because he tried to activate the portal early, which had caused the portal to work but brought dangers he had to find off until he found the right place to go to. His Ghost Half outfit is his Assassins gear, as he was wearing it because he thought he would be going home when he activated the portal.

After Danyal bested Pariah and became the next Ghost King, he has the means to go back to the dimension he comes from. He's not going alone, as the Nasty Burger explosion happens, and only the adult Fentons and others were there, leaving Jazz without a family. Dani, known as Ellie, is also coming, it was easy to convince her because of her curiosity of how different his world might be. Vlad is gonna have to serve his time, as Danyal used his new title to put the man in Walkers prison. The man made Ellie by using his DNA to make her and for freeing Pariah, so the man will either fade away because Maddie is gone or get a new obsession to keep him going.

Danyal is now 18 and is finally back home. He just hopes that Damian is okay and not too upset that he didn't keep his promise to return.

Skittles-Flavored Fear

AKA "The Batfam rescue several Gotham-U students from Scarecrow's latest hostage situation. However, Dr. Jonathan Crane becomes obsessed when one student has a strange reaction to the Fear Toxin - extreme exhilaration and giddiness." Based on this prompt!!

Danny knows Ghosts feed on intense emotion to survive; he's never had to, never wanted to because it feels... parasitic. He never thought he'd be drugged with it. Sitting among his fellow students, tied up as the Straw Man or whatever monologues about his evil plans, Danny thought the worst thing that could happen would be hallucinating a dissection table. Maybe the GIW or his parents with gleaming googles and scalpels at the ready.

He doesn't even realize they're already being gassed until Danny takes a breath and tastes... skittles? Like, taffy, frosted cream, and melty-sweet syrup. The more he breathes it in, the more he feels strangely floaty. His head feels both heavy and light, stuffed with cotton, and he can barely even hear. (If he could hear, he'd probably would be horrified by his classmates screaming, writhing in terror all around him like a swarm of buzzing locusts.)

And then somebody - The Straw Man - is looming in front of him, grabbing Danny by the face, and curiously tilting his head. After a moment of contemplation, Straw Man rummages around in his satchel before Danny gets freaking hosed in the face with a concentrated dose of Fear Toxin. And then everything gets better worse. Danny feels euphoric. He's giggling, smiling, head so clouded from the high that he doesn't even notice even Dr. Crane drags him through the crowded lecture hall. Doesn't notice when two goons grab him by the arms and start to haul him toward the exit.

What he does notice is the Straw Man's body slamming into the wall. Several figures blur in shades of black, blue, green, and red as Danny squints to try and focus on at least one of them. Then, somebody - blue and black - is at his side. Danny kind of... slides down the hero's side, legs too wobbly to hold himself up, until the hero has to prop Danny into a half-laying-half-sitting position. Danny's still giggling, slurring something and his hand somehow finds the hero's face, patting it in thanks for the rescue.

It's only when the Big Bat comes over, fits an odd-shaped mask over Danny's face, that he stops smelling candy. Instead, he smells something putrid, almost like formaldehyde, sweat, and... unmentionable body fluids. Danny's head is throbbing like brain freeze and a pressure headache, nausea so intense he can taste it in the back of his throat and cramps in his stomach. One moment he's mumbling 'm gon' throw up and the next he's ripping the mask off his face. Turns to the side and... barfs on Batman. (If he were more coherent, he'd probably be mortified. Maybe even die again of embarrassment. Worse when Nightwing cackles uncontrollably from beside him. Ancients, he'd petted Nightwing!! On the freakin' face!!)

That's the last thing that Danny remembers. He wakes up in the hospital several hours later, several texts from Jazz, Sam, and Tucker saying they're taking the next flight to Gotham. Danny flops back into the hospital bed and groans. Groans louder when he remembers what happened in the lecture hall. At least there's probably a very small amount of people who can say they barfed on the Dark Knight of Gotham and got away with it, right?

(Cue Scarecrow constantly trying to kidnap Danny and the Batfam being put on Danny-watch to make sure he's safe. Maybe also trying to figure out why Danny reacts differently to Fear Toxin, but assume he's an undocumented meta with a unique biology. Danny absolutely thinks he's being stalked by Batman as revenge.)

Dp x DC idea/prompt

A nice wholesome idea where it's a Danny x Bruce story line. Okay no, sorry still has angst.

So, what if Danny was in Bruce's age range were Danny is maybe only like a year younger than Bruce. And what if Bruce Becomes Batman a little earlier because he's talented in most of the fields he went to sturdy and doesn't have to sturdy them as long.

Now let's also say that, Danny didn't have too good of any luck when telling his parents about phantom. Worse so, they died trying to kill him and he regrets not being able to save them even if it wasn't his fault. Then lest say that a good and reformed Vlad takes in Danny and cares for him (let's not mention the horrific criminal record he's concealing under everyone's noses, and Vlad isn't sorry for what he did to the fentons for hurting Danny)

Danny changed his name to Nightingale instead of Fenton. And Danny and Bruce meet at a gala when one is 21and the other is 22 aged respectively. But Danny is an genius who's blind to emotions.

It'd be something like this:

Danny was 16 now, he'd been phantom for a good 2 or so years now and he's finally telling his parents. I mean, it's been two years, they'd still see him as human because it's been 2 full years. Right? No. Wrong. It went horribly. Hidden behind the fake smiles and false acceptance was a well prepared dissection table hidden in the basement.

And it wasn't comfortable. Danny was stuck in phantom form because of the restraints and wasn't administered a single bit of sedatives. Averythinf hurt. So when Vlad came in, all hells blazing and everything. He was honestly happy.

And good he was, because Vlad saved him. He tried to get CW to reverse time, so that he can fix the mess, but he wouldn't let him, saying this was the best outcome. Danny didn't want to know what the worse outcomes were.

So Danny grew up living with Vlad, a fully stabilized Dani, and a reformed Dan/Dante who, Danny wants to say, is quite good with arts and crafts. He says, it's because CW forced him to try stuff as part of the reform but Danny is starting to think Dante is actually and Au version of him. And not the future.

But oh well. Danny and Dante now have the surname Nightingale. Dani being the little gremlin she is, hyphenated the names and took both Danny's and Vlad's names. And Vlad finally got the cat. Stuff was great except for the occasional gala they had to attend, except for Danny otherwise she'd destroy everything.

But Danny got bored quickly, so he took advantage of Vlad's money and too lessons in anything and everything that interested him. Teakwando? Yes. MMA? Yes. Gel and acrylic nails application? Yes. (It's a pretty good tallent and Dani absolutely loves it) a makeup course? Yes, but who knew there was so much to do based on the different types of faces. And the time schedual to do it in was stressful. Finally learn how to cook? Yes, he's never going back to that wannabe gordan Ramsey teacher. Took an apprentaship in baking. Best earnt money and skills he's ever had. And so on. Every fighting style. How to use wepons. Art, fashion, beauty, hair, food, coding, room designing, etc:

But of course Danny still went for his main degrees. Aerospace engineering-mainly in the Astro nautical fields but he's an expert in both Astro and aero sectors of it. He also went for a mechanical engineering degree.

This went on for years. Quite a few, even after meeting his best friends Bruce.

They met at one of the galas Danny had to go to, and they go along well. Not only that, but Danny could see the fake mask Bruce put on for the public, he found it funny (he learnt how to look for masks after his parents).

Years went on, Danny got a teaching degree and he is living a great life. He has an online page were people can book tutour lessons for his engineering specialties, science, maths, computer science and art. And he has an option to be booked for classes on anything else like, dancing, nails, hair, makeup, martial arts, safe-easy-home engineering, basic english turouring and so on and so forth. And if they want to be passed with a certificate for something people can, just with a bit extra payment. And honestly Danny loves it.

Damian: Daniel... I have a question for you?

Danny: yeah? What is it Damian?

Damian: what's your relationship with father?

Danny: ? What do you mean? We're friends. We have been for a long time.

Dick: oh you poor, poor, stupid soul. How oblivious can you be?

Danny: what's that meant to mean?

Steph, who he's currently doing nails for: he means your blind, both to the obvious things in front of you and to your own feelings.

Danny: I don't get it?

--

Dani: so, when is your boyfriend finally gonna come over for dinner?

Danny: who?

Dani: Bruce?

Danny: oh he said he'd be coming over on Saturday.

Dani: ha, so you admit, he's your boyfriend!

Danny: well yeah. He's, a boy, and he's my friend. Why? What's happening?

Dante: leave it Dani, he's hopeless. Leave him to figure it out himself.

Danny: ????

----

Danny: Jazz. Am I missing something? Everyone keeps either calling me oblivious or stupid, or hopeless. What am I missing?!?!

Jazz: *sigh* Danny, my sweet innocent baby brother. Think, what was the topic about, each times that has happened?

Danny: .... Bruce?

Jazz: there you go. I won't tell you exactly, but I will say this. What you clearly are to blind to see, everyone else does. So think very hard about your relationship with Bruce and how you feel about it.

----

Danny at Bruce's house hanging out with the kids: .... *lost in though brushing and doing a couple of stitch braiding in cass' hair*

Tim: you good Danny?

Danny: huh? Oh yeah. Just. Thinking.

Bruce walks in: oh, hey Danny.

Danny smiling: oh hey Bruce. How are you doing, not seen you in a while. How's work?

Bruce smiling softly: I'm good. Works the usual. Annoying and exhausting. Also, Alfred told me to tell you that dinner is gonna be ready in about half an hour.

Danny: thanks, well be there.

Bruce leaves:

Danny still smiling:...

Tim:...

Cass:...

Barbra:...

Duke:...

Danny,smile dropping :.... Oh...

Tim looking up curiously: ?

Danny realizing he has feeling for Bruce: OH!! OHHH!!!!! OH! OH! That....

Duke looking hopefully: don't tell me....

Danny: I'm blind. I'm as blind as a bat...

Tim and Barbra: YESS! FINALLY!

Cass clapping: he's figured it out.

Duke: only took him a good decade and a half maybe more.

Danny: OH MY GOD! EVERYONE KNEW!

Jason popping his head in the room: yup. It was quite clear!

Danny: EVERYONE KNEW EXCEPT ME! I'M FUCKING BLIND!

Tim: I think that's the first time I've heard him clearly swear. And not use filler words instead....

I'll be honest. Idk were I got this idea. It just showed up. :3.

[lexus-k4]

Danny puts up with a lot of stress, okay. His coping mechanism is....okay, it's a little weird, he's not gonna lie.

It is widely known that he has a human form and a ghost form; it is not widely known that his ghost form can do pretty much whatever he wants it to.

This includes making it smaller. Changing the ghost tail to a fish one. Making the suit be scales instead of a suit.

He does it so many times he now officially has three forms, and one of them is purely for himself and no one else.

His stress relief is to go to the aquarium, switch to the tiny merman form, and hide in the rocks of his favorite exhibit; the shark exhibit.

He stays in the back, away from the people visiting it's sight, and just vibes. He's even made a small cave the sharks can't fit into a tiny little nest.

No one would expect him there. No one would be looking for him there. He was free to just...take a moment.

Well, so he thought.

Because the humans visiting did see him. Multiple times.

They took pictures.

Now the Amity Park Aquarium is in some deep shit with Atlantis, because there's documented proof that they're keeping a literal baby mer in there as a spectacle.

DPxDC John Constantine's How To: Ghost Kids (pt.2)

[<- part 1]

"Oh, yeah," John jerks his head up like he just remembered the fact people are supposed to have names at all. He gestures to the kids, pointing to each of them as he introduces, "Daniel, Daniel, and Danielle."

This time, all three kids flip him off simultaneously. Bruce clears his throat, trying to figure out if Constantine is messing with him and, if so, in which parts. Since, so far, everything the man has said sounds like a poor attempt at pulling his leg.

"I don't think they like those," he cautiously says, and the kids whip their heads at him, nodding furiously. Bruce can't help but be just a little enamored with the way they behave.

"Of, sod off, at this point I don't care what they like," John straightens up with a dismissive, albeit weak, wave of his hands, and rubs his face, "They are menaces. Sometimes by accident, but mostly on purpose. Their grandfather thought it would be easier to handle them if they were not teenagers, and while I agreed with his reasoning at the time, I-" he glances at the kids, who all have displeased grimaces of various levels on their faces, "I have been made to reconsider. I swear that ancient bitch is laughing his ass off wherever he is now."

The kids suddenly grin. They are not very friendly, nor polite smiles - if anything, they look a bit nightmarish. An old grandfather's clock in his study makes a very loud ticking noise.

"See?" John whips his head to look at said clock, the expression on his face bordering on insane. His eye twitches.

If Bruce doesn't do anything now, he might become one of the very few people who managed to witness John Constantine, the Laughing Magician, have a meltdown. So he sighs and decides to solve the problems one at a time.

Which means that no matter how alarmed or suspicious he is, his first move would not be to interrogate either the man or the kids.

"You can sleep in one of the guest rooms, I trust you can find it on your own," he tells John, almost softly, as he catches the girl from slipping away from his lap, "Is there anything I need to know about children before you fall unconscious?"

John slumps with relief, so obviously that Bruce almost smiles. Hardships of raising - or, watching, for that matter - kids, he understands.

"Yes," he breathes out with an air of exhilaration and turns to the kids again, pointing to the middle child, "Danny is the original. He is from this dimension and timeline, that is. Dan," he turns his finger to the older boy, "is in the wrong timeline, he's Danny's future evil self redeemed into older bratty brother. Dani," he switches to the girl, "is Danny's clone, made by his arch-nemesis of a godfather. If she starts melting at any point, wake me up immediately. If any of them start floating, sprouting tentacles, speaking to walls in static, or glowing, don't."

Bruce looks down to the kids. So, definitely metas, that would explain the government trying to get them... Or, no, it wouldn't because he is fairly certain no government is going to blatantly ignore the Meta Protection Acts.

"Don't let them raise the dead, and if you give them food, make sure it doesn't have a face. If you find more than three of them, it means one of them has duplicated, don't worry, they will absorb it back later. Absolutely don't let them touch any guns," Constantine is backing down to the door as he speaks, his gaze flickering from the kids to Bruce and back every second. Like he is leaving a ticking bomb in Bruce's lap, and not three children. "Danny is, comparatively, the most responsible one, the other two are up for any dubious trouble they can get to at any moment. Oh, and their memories are wonky because of de-aging, they remember some things but not others, so if they say something particularly disturbing, it's most likely some random piece of knowledge they managed to keep."

Bruce raises an eyebrow. He did get the part about the kids being, well, abnormal in the matters of their origins, but the disjointed set of rules and advices doesn't help as much as Constantine probably thinks it does.

"Allergies, preferences, ages they were before?" He tries to get at least some more info down before John disappears through the door. Actually, maybe he should send someone to handcuff the man to the bed lest he disappears completely.

"None, but don't let them eat cutlery. Danny likes space, Dani has a thing for exploring, and Dan likes violence." The older kid stirs in Bruce's lap and says something in the direction of Constantine. No sound comes out, but the man seems to get what he's trying to say anyway, "Okay, yes, that was rude of me, sorry. Dan likes... exercise," he ends up with, and that placate the boy enough to slump down and cross his arms. John sighs, "They were seventeen, fourteen, and twenty respectively. Now," he snaps his fingers, and suddenly Bruce can hear the girl - Dani - humming a tune under her breath. So, he lifted the silence spell, it seems.

"Good fucking luck," John wishes to Bruce, earnestly, and all but vanishes away.

Bruce sighs and looks down to the kids.

"Are you hungry?" He tries, and all eyes are on him at once, attentive and unblinking.

"Fruitloops," Danny says, and while Bruce is positive that's the name for a cereal, he gets a feeling that's not what the kid meant.

Dp x DC Prompt

Wip :3

Danny is told to go on a holiday/go travel the multi verse to learn things and to actually have a break. Is about to but then some shit goes down and finds out his world was doomed to die ergo cw sent him away.

Now Danny in DC world befriending every hero when he visits their city.

Now, Danny is known as that random child/meta that every hero has met, befriended, talked to, received help from and was concerned for because they only ever find him sitting on the edge of roofs (not a suicide thing, just likes nights, night sky and thinking with a view of cities)

Danny realised how fucking tired he was so gave up heroing and decided to help hero's in little ways, doesn't care about having an identity so steals money from villains or thiefs or whatever to get money and supply/ingredients to help the hero's.

Martian man hunter and flash are his favorite hero's. Because yes.

Edit: thanks for letting me know about the censoring thing in comments, I'm not entirely sure if I did it on purpose or not because ei have many languages set on my keyboard and sometimes hold the keys for too long without realizing but, still thanks 👍

The best thing I've ever seen all year. Thank you for letting me see this 😂😅

This is still one of the greatest things ever made.

DP X DC

soooo.

I had an idea, I wrote it. I saved it to drafts. I went doom scrolling. And gave me another idea. Here it is.

This is the prompt that I read/saw.

Jason: so. Are we doing this dog button thing? Cus I think it'd be a great idea. I mean the little guy is obviously smart... *looks at LBJ chewing a bottle cap and occasional smacking it* I mean... He is to share extent. But I men he's a baby so...

Damian: Todd is right father. We should get these buttons, and if they work he can communicate with us.

Bruce: *heavy sigh* okay, yeah. Let's get the button

Dick, Steph, Duke and Tim: WOOHOO

Cass: *fist bumps the air*

Damian and Jasson: *nodding approvingly*

----

Later that week-

Bruce: okay, so. Each of you get at least 10 buttons, work together and record whatever you deem necessary, but make sure there are no duplicates. Any questions?

Jason: *raises hand*

Bruce: *sigh* yes Jason?

Jason: can I use your car?

Bruce: ... Can I ask why?

Jason: I'm going to visit Roy, and my bike doesn't have a license plate, and other cities aren't as corrupt or lax as gothams so I'd get pulled over. Plus it's custom.

Bruce: *sighs feeling more gray hairs grow* okay. Yeah. I'll be in my office if you need me.

-

Tim: soooo... We're Deffinely taking advantage of this aren't we?

Everyone at the same time: absolutely/oh yes/most certainly

----

Bruce walking back to the room they were all in: so. How's it going?

Jason looks at him then to LBM and back to him: have a looksee

LBM Danny pressing buttons: bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch, bottle cap, hello, bitch

Bruce: he's using swear words...

Jason: yes.

Bruce: and Alfred allowed it?

Jason: yes.

Bruce: ... Why am I surprised?

LBM Danny going to Bruce holding a button and starts pressing it: fruit loops, fruit loops, fruit loops, fruit loops, fruit loops, fruit loops

Bruce: Dick... Why did you record a button saying fruit loops?

Dick smiling: cus I saw how the little guy always there fruilools at you when he saw you and thought it'd be funny.

Tim: it most certainly is funny.

LBM Danny going back to the plethora of buttons: HI, HI, HI, HI, fruit loops, friends friends. FUCK! bottle cap, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry

Bruce: ...

Duke: see. It's quite efficient. We know he's hungry.

LBM Danny taking a button and floating to Bruce's legs before amooshing it into his legs repeatedly: fruit loops, fruit loops, fruit loops, fruit loops, fruit loops, fruit loops, fruit loops, fruit loops, fruit loops

Jason: well look at that. He likes his buttons. And I think he's trying to call you a fruit loop.

Bruce: ... What does that even mean?

Everyone just shrugs.

LBM Danny back at buttons: give me, bottle cap, give me, give me, I want, bottle cap, bottle cap, bottle cap, bottle cap.

Dick: okay, who took his bottle cap?

Tim: sorry, I put it on the shelves because he was distracted. Here, your bottle cap.

LBM Danny takes bottle cap back: bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, stupid, look, stupid, bitch.

Jason: pfft, he's calling you stupid. Hah! The irony!

LBM Danny: I want, hungry, hungry, hungry, I want, cookie, hungry, cookie

Dick: I'm sorry little guy, you can't have a cookie till after dinner

LBM Danny pausing as he is slowly figuring out what dick said(young baby and instinctual brain makes hard to always understand): fuck you, bitch, stupid, you look, bitch, hungry, cookie.

Bruce: why M I surprised that this actually worked... And that all the swear words were recorded by Jason?

Duke and Steph: no idea...

LBM Danny: I will, stab, stab, I will, stab, fuck you.

Bruce: ... Damian?

Damian: yes father?

Bruce: Why is stab an option?

Damian: well that's because I've noticed the young one is prone to trying to hit, bite or stab things when possible. So I saw it usefully to add them as options so we know.

Bruce:...

LBM Danny going through every button pressing every single one: Marshmello, cookie, fruit loops, food, hungry, tired, bottle cap, space, cool, happy(all with dicks voice), Ha!, fuck you, fuck, bitch, crap, bed time, no, yes, maybe, I don't care(all in Jason's voice), bored, play, coffee, water, juice, soda, tea, you suck, cold, hot(all in tim's voice), you look, stupid, great, bad, good, HI!, amazing, Steph, Cass, Babs(all in Stephanie's voice), I will, stab, hit, bite, attack, comfortable, you, I, Alfred, Bruce(all in damian's voice), Dick, Jason, Tim, Damian, Duke, I am, leave me alone, scared, okay, I want to(all in dukes voice), dance, plants, cat, hate, like, love, don't, want to, talk, sleep (all in cass' voice), picture, coin, cup, go, bye, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday (all in Barbara's voice) Saturday, Sunday, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0, plus, minus, alphabet, write, light, on, off, thank you, please, I like(all in Alfred's voice)

Alfred: I took the liberty of adding some of my own, which I deemed necessary. I hope you don't mind.

Dick: of course not Alfie.

Jason: you thought of things we didn't so it's absolutely fine.

Bruce: dear god....

Steph: YOUR BRITISH IS SLIPPING THROUGH BRUCE!! HAHA!

LBM Danny: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

The last part is what you see in the little video in the post this is inspired by. Hope you liked it. Because I did this at 00:49/finished , with the ned to be awake in 6 hours and 11 or so mintiuts. So yeah. Fun. And also heavily sleep deprived cus yes. And read over everything a million times and found a spelling mistake every time. Idk if there is any left. I'm too tired to check again. So if there is. Sorry. Not surry. I'm too tired to care right now and my brain is so foggy rn that I'm daily certain auto correct is doing most the spelling at this worint. 👍

Why do I do this to myself?
