Stellar Dynamics
You know what.
ANOTHER DPxDC idea (as if I write prompts for anything else lol ✍(◔◡◔)
And once again, I think I might have a hyperfixation rn, another deaged Dani (Ellie) and Dan (Dante)! and Dad!Danny.
And you know what, lets make it another DannyxConner idea.
Danny is on a field trip with his class (NOT in Gotham though, LOVE Gotham but lets go with a different city) in like Central City or Metropolis (If Metropolis, Danny is SUPER excited to see the space sections they have at the museum they no doubt have, because well SUPERMAN is an alien and based in their city. If in Central City Conner is visiting Bart.)
During the trip he bumps into Conner and the two just hit it off. Conner enjoys listening to Danny rant about space and the stars and finds watching Danny's eyes light up in joy kinda cute. And if he got his new hero name Supernova from listening to Danny's rants about the stars well... no one needs to know how he got it.
Danny likes how chill Conner is and how the guy stood against Dash and the other jocks when Dash decided he wanted to mess with Danny during the trip, a rare thing nowadays but sometimes Dash does try, and how he respects/likes Danny's friends.
He didn't even say anything negative or hurtful when he found out Danny has two kids back home.
In the end the two exchange numbers, flirt hard, and maybe set up a date in the future. And then more dates. Becoming boyfriends. AND meeting the family. Conner is smitten with just out of toddlerhood Ellie and toddler Dante and adores them. And he loves how the Fentons just love him the moment he stepped into their house and was introduced as Danny's boyfriend, he made sure to bring over a pie Ma should him how to make.
Things get a bit complicated when Conner, Supernova, is at a reunion of YJ members and his phone lights up with a text message from Danny.
He's smiling with a goofy/soft look when he opens the text and see's its a picture of Danny holding a pouting toddler Dante and Ellie on his lap smiling with a notable gap in her teeth at the camera. The message he got was 'Ellie wanted you to know she finally lost her first baby tooth. Dan's been grumpier, I think he misses you.'
He is pulled out of his happy thoughts and musings when he hears Bart gasp hard and drop a bowl of snacks onto the floor. Conner turns to from the future Speedster and see's him about to have a panic attack.
Bart, Impulse, is having a freak out after catching a glimpse of the text picture Conner had gotten and being nosy wanted to know what got his friend to smile so smitten. He knew of Conner's current boyfriend and the kids Conner adores but haven't had time to be introduced to them or even see a pic.
He wasn't expecting to see the very MONSTER of his NIGHTMARES that basically destroyed the world in the FUTURE as a toddler pouting at a camera and surrounded by two smiling identical looking people either. People he never saw in the future or with HIM AND-
Oh.... OH!
Was that why he turned evil? Did something happen to his family?

The Wild Children! Merida and Wild would get into soooo much trouble together, since they have such similar personalities. They both love adventuring, exploring, archery, and horseback riding! Queen Elinor and Twilight/Time would probably just vent about their crazy 'children' together.
I feel like out of all the boys, Wild would definitely be the most likely to get someone he knows cursed by accident. Also, he's ridden bears before (BOTW lol), and so when Merida tells him about all of her adventures, he'd probably get so excited like, OH MY GOODNESS YOU TOO?!
Also, if you don't understand what Merida is saying, she is basically just challenging Wild to hit an arrow into a far away tree 😂
I finally finished my exams!! 🥳 Can't wait to see what the poll results are so I can hopefully start on the next piece soon! Hope you all are doing well! 🩵
P.S. lol when I was writing this all I could think about was this:

DP X DC PROMPT #27
(Time for something a little more lighthearted/found family. Could probably also make this a crack prompt instead.)
(#) = Notes at the end of post
(*) = Just me building off of other ideas.
Visitation Rights
When Danny went to list Dani/Ellie as his heir after she'd come back from her years of traveling the world, he was quickly informed that he already had one in line for the thrown.
"What? Since when?!"
The pretentious, floating eyeball looked like he wanted to be anywhere else other than here, providing information to King Phantom, but explained anyway.
"The day you officially achieved royal status, you permanently linked your being to the Infinite Realms. When this happened, however, a child was in the process of being created with the assistance of ectoplasmic runoff that's been leaking into the mortal world for centuries. As a result of your power being incorporated into the Realms at such a time, this human child retained an imprint of your core signature. The Infinite Realms itself has recognized this child as your offspring. Your... other offspring has yet to be recognized in such a way and would therefore be considered your second heir once claimed."
Danny stared at the Observant with wide, blank eyes that were slowly filling with dread and panic.
"Why are you just telling me this now?? My coronation was over a decade ago!" He held his face in his hands and gave a horrified groan at what he just learned.
"If you really wanted that clone as your heir, I'm afraid it's too late to change it-"
Danny's head shot back up with a snarl and furious green eyes.
"That's not what I'm upset about you walking cataracts! Eleven years! I've missed eleven years of this kid's life!! How could you think I-"
At a loss for words, he growled deep in his chest. Deep enough that it echoed throughout the halls and rattled the floors.
"Who is this kid, and where can I find them?"
Once given the information and learning of the child's other parental figures, he gets to work. A few weeks later, he appears in the home office of a well-known billionaire with a stack of papers that he promptly slams onto the desk in front of the startled man. (1)
"I demand visitation rights to our son, Damian Wayne."
(1) Danny actually visited Talia first to get visitation rights. Needless to say, that didn't go very well. He's still got a couple knives floating around in his chest cavity because of it.
(*) ALSO! I'm not sure how this lines up with the DC/Batman timeline. All I figured out is that if Danny waited to be crowned until after he graduated college as an astrophysicist, which take 5 to 7 years, he'd be about 36 years old when he finds out about Damian. Bruce would be about 41, so the age gap is only 5 years. If y'all wanna make this Danny/Bruce, go ahead!

Blurb that popped into my head.
Now, Danny firmly believed that his rambling and current actions could be firmly blamed on the fact that he currently had a concussion and possibly light headed from blood loss. Honestly the last twelve hours had been a blur as the halfa fled into the zone following a rather disastrous post college graduation party thanks to a combination the GIW, Vlad and his parents. And falling through a natural portal into an unknown dimension in the middle of what seemed to be an invasion did not help.
So he could be forgiven for horrible flirting he was currently doing with the superhero that had literally caught him after he plummeted out of the air after getting hit by a crushed and thrown vehicle. "I would ask for the number of the truck that hit me, but I would rather get yours if you aren't too busy, Angel?"
Before promptly passing out.

The Lives that could have been (or could be.) (Part 2 of 2)
Read on ao3. Masterpost.
Previous.
“Is every other life where I don’t become Phantom this bad?” Danny asks and Clockwork hums.
“More or less.”
“Then what-“
“I said ‘other lives you could live’ — not could have lived,” Clockwork interrupts. “There are infinite possibilities for your future after all.”
Once again pictures blur around them as they flicker through. Clockwork seemingly plucks out some at random, pushing them towards Danny.
“In this life you become an astronaut. You travel to space and become the top researcher in your field.“ 
Danny‘s eyes go wide at the picture of him beaming, floating inside a space station next to two other people. There are other objects floating around them and he waves at the camera.
“I never thought…” he trails off.
“That you could realize your dream of working for NASA? It’s one of your biggest regrets.”
Danny gulps staring at the still frame and he knows the Ancient of Time is right. After his accident and becoming Phantom he had written it completely off. With how irregular his heartbeat was, he would never pass the physicals. Not even speaking of his failing grades — he would never be able to get back to his 3.6 GPA. Sure he could technically go to space in his Ghost Form — considering he didn’t need to breathe but it wouldn’t be the same. 
Clockwork swishes it away before Danny can touch it, pulling another close to them.
“In this life you become an esteemed engineer, top of your craft and highly sought after,” Clockwork explains. 
Danny had always thought he would be too dumb to become an engineer, even when Tucker joked about him being a nerd. After all he was only improving on already existing blueprints and reverse engineering his parent’s inventions was different than thinking about new ones himself.
“You always regretted not having normal parents even if they love you when they aren’t distracted by work. But without growing up around then you would have never gained the skills to become an engineer and adapt on the fly.”
In the picture Danny is leaning against a table, some kind of contraption laying on it, snickering to himself while a black haired boy sits on the workbench close to him, laughing — blue eyes full of amusement. Danny has one hand settled on the boy’s thigh, intertwined with the boy’s left. 
Danny drinks in the sight, almost hypnotized by it. Clockwork pushes it away and replaces it with another one.
“You always wished that Vlad wasn’t your godfather,” Clockwork continues. “But without him you would have never met your husband.”
Danny is at some sort of gala, holding a champagne glass. The suit he is wearing looks expensive and specifically tailored to him. He is probably in his mid-thirties if not older. Another black haired man — once again blue eyes, leans towards his ear, whispering something in it with a smile on his face. Their suits are matching. Danny never thought he could look this content. For a long time he thought he forgot how to be.
“You always regretted being kind and having a martyr complex and not being selfish enough to put your needs first,” Clockwork says. “But it’s these traits that lead to you having all these lives.”
Danny is cooking with someone — mid-frame as he steals a piece of chocolate covered strawberry while a man with black hair and a striking strand of white swats at him with chopsticks from where is handling a wok. 
“And there are countless other futures like this.”
The images around start whirring again and Danny can only catch flickers.
A snapshot of him playing with a little girl outside — him floating next to a British man with a beige trench coat laughing. Him standing next to Tucker who is speaking to a microphone, the space looking like a streamer set-up. Him watching a black haired girl perform ballet — flickering to him fencing against a boy whose green eyes pin him through the fencing mask. Him studying with a boy with a buzz cut in a library and so many more. 
“I still don’t understand why you are showing me this now at all times.”
Clockwork snips his fingers, the images disappearing. Instead Danny feels the cold weight of the Crown of Fire settling above his head and the Ring of Rage appearing on his right hand. 
“It’s because it’s time you made a decision.”
“I thought I had no choice in the matter,” Danny says, feeling faint. “The Observants-”
“The Observants are not the ones who have the power,” Clockwork says. “It’s for you to decide whether you accept this fate or not.”
Danny knits his eyebrows together.
“I don’t get it,” he admits. “I can’t just give the throne to somebody else.”
“You can’t or you don’t want to?”
Danny groans at that — this feels too much like talking with Jazz when she starts psychoanalyzing the impact of his trauma from repeatedly dying and reviving in the accident. 
“What would happen if I don’t?” Danny questions, anxious. “Do people die?”
“People die all the time,” Clockwork says dryly. “Whether that is a result of your actions remains to be seen.”
“You just showed me a world where they did!”
Clockwork shakes his head.
“The past is different. I can only clearly see what would have happened if you didn’t do something. Compared to it, the future's not set in stone. Every single action you take, every single decision results in a different path. Even I can not see every possible life you could lead,” Clockwork clarifies. “It’s all up to you.”
Danny can’t help the frustration rising up in him at that. He knows Clockwork means well but he is tired of the responsibility settled on his shoulders. He’s just a teenager for Ancient’s sake. He should be worrying about grades and prom and not about the political, interdimensional implications of becoming a King at age 15. 
Clockwork bonks Danny’s head with his staff, ignoring his yelp. 
“That was not an invitation for you to overthink,” the Ancient of Time chides. “You need to recognize what is important to you.”
Immediately his thoughts flash to Jazz, Tucker and Sam. 
As if sensing what he is thinking, Clockwork pushes his wand against his chest, near his core.
“What do you want to do?” he questions. “If your friends or family didn’t exist, if they were dead, where would the path take you? That’s what you need to find out.”
Danny frowns, staring at the clock-shaped top of the wand pressed against the D on his hazmat suit. He knows Clockwork is right — in some twisted kind of way. Danny had always lived according to others expectations. He needed to do well in school or Mr. Lancer would be disappointed in him. He needed to manage his mental health or Jazz would be disappointed in him. He needed to support his parents even if he never saw them because of their work or they would be disappointed in him. He needed to protect Amity Park and stay Phantom or else Tucker and Sam would be disappointed in him. 
Of course by now his Obsession wouldn’t let him change that last point no matter what — but sometimes Danny wonders if his Obsession was truly born from within himself or if it had been forced upon him. If Danny found a way to leave Amity Park — to not have to worry about its destruction through the GIW if he wasn’t there 24/7, would his Obsession change? Would it reveal its true self? 
“Why are you helping me?”
“Because even when the Observants thought you were too dangerous to stay alive, I saw your potential,” Clockwork says. “You could be everything you want if you would stop limiting yourself.”
Danny gulps, looking up from the wand into the Ancient’s eyes.
“So…choose your future.”
That conversation had been several years ago. Back then Danny had been overwhelmed at the prospect of it and many sleepless nights followed.
He sighs and closes the book he had been reading, glancing at the clock. 
His eyes widen at the time — shit he lost track of time. He grabs his jacket as he runs out of the house, jumping on one foot to slip into his shoes and calls out a goodbye to his amused roommates as they watch him go. 
He runs to the meeting spot, arriving 5 minutes late. His head swivels around as he tries to spot his date. 
“Danny!” a voice calls and Danny turns around, relief flooding his face when he sees their black hair. 
Yes, by now Danny can appreciate what Clockwork did for him back then, making him choose a future that he won’t come to regret — actually giving him a choice, instead of placing even more expectations on him.
Which future did Danny choose in the end? Well that’s for yourself to decide. Danny for his part is finally happy. 
“…!”

iceberg (guess what i want you to write!! heehee! smooches, cam)
one iceberg for you 🫡 gonna take a stab in the dark and guess you were hoping for some antarct-fic ❄️
-
The first time Tommy becomes acquainted with one of McMurdo Station’s favorite activities, he has just finished up only his second non-training flight. They’d had him start out just observing from the co-pilot seat, getting a feel for all the peculiarities of flying over this particular part of the world; the no-fly areas enforced to protect both wildlife and research, the corrections that needed to be made for altitude pressure due to the cold air, the antenna farm and fuel tanks that were to be avoided when flying the Wind-Driven Alternate Pattern - more commonly referred to as the ‘gap’ procedure, for the gap between two hills that overlooked the base and had a habit of funneling particularly strong wind gusts between them - and the procedures for waiting until any research party they dropped off had established radio contact before departure. Everything accounted for the fact that being left behind in this harsh climate without a means of contact was a death sentence.
He’d known most of it, had spent a significant chunk of his flights to Auckland and then to Christchurch poring over the air operations manual, willing the details to stick in his mind, but theory and practice were two entirely different beasts and he was well aware that repetition was key. So, he hadn’t minded being back in training wheels, though actually flying while someone was actively checking his every move again did take some getting used to. It was worth it, to be back in the pilot’s seat.
It hadn’t taken long for calling into Mac Radio to feel as natural as radioing in to Harbor Station. At one point, Roslyn had him take point on a run out to the Dry Valleys. She had stayed silent the entire way back, watching out the window as they edged closer and closer to the Peninsula, glancing Tommy’s way whenever he’d make an adjustment. After they had landed and had run through all the post-flight checklists, she had declared him ready and had him put on the roster for solo-pilot trips.
That was two days ago. Now, Tommy wraps up his post-flight procedures and heads up to McMurdo Station’s big blue main building that everyone just refers to as 155. When he arrives he finds it more abuzz than ever. There is a palpable excitement - something has gotten everyone, regardless of department, talking amongst each other. Sure, from what he can tell that isn’t completely abnormal, but usually by this time of day everyone is worn out by their long shifts and the cold, and the vibe is generally at least a little more subdued. That is, until people kick back in the bar, or there’s some event going on. Which there are a lot of, he’s noticed. The station’s residents will clearly take whatever entertainment they can get.
This… isn’t that, he decides as he joins the short line to get help himself to a tray full of dinner. Hisham, one of the other helicopter pilots, seems to have made it his personal mission to keep everyone at helo ops up to date on the goings-on at base and he would have said something if there was anything big planned.
“What’s going on?” he decides to ask the galley crew member serving up food once he makes it to the front of the line. She’s short, doesn’t even come up to his shoulder, and has her brown hair in a pony tail pulled through the back of her cap.
“Iceberg spotted in the Sound,” she says, scooping a giant heap of fried rice onto his plate. She glances up at him and either clocks that he’s new or something else inspires the interested glint in her eye. Tommy hopes it’s the first option but he’ll take either if it gets him the inside scoop. And maybe an even bigger serving of food in the future.
The crew member sets her serving spoon down, obviously undeterred by the handful of people waiting behind Tommy. “They’re pretty rare, so we like to bet on how long it’ll take for it to round Hut Point.”
“Huh,” Tommy raises his eyebrows. He had never considered betting on icebergs, but from what he can tell anything out of the ordinary passes for entertainment out here. And it’s not the first bet he’s heard of. “So how long would something like that take? Hours? Days, Weeks?” he asks, suddenly realizing how little he knows about icebergs.
He wonders, for just one moment until he shuts that thought down, if Evan would know. Surely it had come up in one of his documentaries on penguin migrations, or something.
“I’m not telling you shit,” the galley crew member grins at him. “It’s a rite of passage to be wildly wrong about these things.” She nods over at an older woman with a long silver braid who has just accepted cash from someone sitting at a table nearby. “Talk to Katie if you want in on the action. I recommend it. We track the iceberg’s process on the webcams and everything.”

Save Her
Guys I came up with a new DPxDC AU where we get Deaged!Dani(Ellie), Mom!Cass, and Dad!Danny.
"Cass... Are you sure you want to do this?" Tim asked one more time before he would put the last code in. He knew she was sure, more than willing to deal with it but he just needed one more confirmation before they all started what couldn't be stopped.
Cass stared at Tim, her face straight and her eyes firm without a hint of doubt. She nodded in his direction, despite the growing nervousness in her stomach for a second even with Stephanie squeezed her hand in reassurance and support.
Cass turned her gaze to the little girl, no older than thirteen, suspended in a tank full of green glowing goo and asleep. Her vitals showing up on screens near the tank coming from the wires that were hooked up to her inside the tank.
She said her name was Danielle Masters but had also said she wouldn't mind a new name once she was no longer just a clone but instead Cass's new daughter. She had only asked to include her 'dad', a Danny Fenton/Phantom, in her future naming decision too
Cass took a breath and said softly but determined "Save her."
Tim nodded back and entered the final code into the computer.
-x-x-
Basically-
Cass, while in Hong Kong, finds a destabilizing Dani.
Cass see's the desperation and fear Dani is in and helps as best as she can.
She manages to help but they both seem to know the next time this happens will be Dani's last.
Dani is very, very sick at this point and needs help even standing up.
Cass see's and remembers herself at this age and wants to help.
They do become friends and learn each other backstories
Cass goes to the one person she knows who might to be able to help with the destabilizing clone problem.
Tim, Tim is that person. (Because he's friends with Conner, and no doubt knows Conner's DNA and how it works, AND the fact he tried his hand at the whole cloning thing.... Tim told Cass everything once things settled down after his BruceQuest was done)
They fill him in on what is happening and he starts helping, mostly cause Cass asked and because "Clone rights!" (side note, he asked if its okay to tell Conner, when yes, Conner comes over and chats with Dani the entire time whenever he has free time) (the image of Conner sitting at her bedside as they chat is in my head btw)
Tim finds out the reason Dani is destabilizing so badly is because she's not 'complete', she needs a female donor technically because she's female not male (unlike Conner who is stable because he is male with male donors)
They find out that after trying to see of ways to save her that Cass was the closest that could donate her DNA (they also discover there might be a connection between ectoplasm and the Pits, they don't wanna run the risk of asking a LOA member) (If I remember right Cass grew around the Pits for a while and was even tossed in them after a fight with Shiva)
Tim also brings them news that Danielle's body is rapidly destabilizing due to her body/hormones trying to 'mature' her since she is at that age and she has less than a week.
Everyone knows there is no time to think of trying to save her in any other ways.
Tim says that if they do this, they have to technically 'remake' her body to the actual age she is (a couple months old/a few years old? Depends on the writer) and there was a high chance of her not remembering her old self. That the male DNA in her, the one that seemed to be the most is Daniel 'Danny' Fenton's DNA will be considered father DNA and if Cass does this, her's will be the mother DNA. (Vlad's DNA, because he would try to put his own in, would be 'pushed out')
Cass would become Dani's mother.
Both Cass and Dani talk about it.
Cass wants to help her, she had become friends with Dani and loves her like a little sister already but will try to love her as a daughter as well.
Dani wants to live an actual life.
They agree to it.
Tim sets everything up, Conner is helping around/keeping Dani comfortable/happy.
Cass told Steph and Babs whats happening and they're helping/being supportive once they find out everything.
Meanwhile Tim and Babs has Dick, and Damian go to Amity Park to find out whats happening there/bring Danny to her so they can explain what happened to Dani. (Dick and Damian have no clue why just yet but will find out when they get back, but oh boy is Amity a mess between the GIW, ecto-acts, crazy fruitloop mayor/villain ghost, and other stuff)
Cass and Tim tell Jason and he's helping Alfred (who basically already knows) set up a room for the newest arrival. Jason is gonna stick around if to just see Bruce's face when he gets called a 'grandpa' for the first time.
Duke takes this all in stride when told and just goes along with things now because this is life with the Batfam. He also helps with the room and keeping Dani company until the day.
Bruce was on a space mission thus comes home to find a new group of teens with his kids. One (with black hair and violet/purple eyes) is talking about a purple back gorillas with Damian and swapping vegan recipes, another (wearing a red beanie and has glasses) is getting into tech talk with Tim and Babs, a girl with red hair is talking classic books with Jason and giving Duke advice with school and stress, and another boy (one who could pass as one of his own adopted kids) is cracking jokes/puns with Dick, and telling Steph stories about his Rogues(!?).
Bruce isn't ready when Cass comes up behind him, nearly dancing in her spot and hands him something.
He is given a baby/toddler that looks like Cass but had darker hair and bright blue eyes.
He almost faints when Cass signs to him that he's holding his granddaughter, her baby.
He does faint when Cass notices the signs and takes her baby back before he falls over.

Ya know, Jay’s going to therapy. Jon mentions as much in Shazam, and there’s still like suggestions about it in Secret Six. But is Jon going to therapy? Imma bet no. I bet you the answer is no.
Jon has a very real problem, which boils down to this: in trying desperately to avoid dealing with his own trauma, he’s trying to force himself and the people around him back into the past, rather than moving forward and trying to deal with the present situation post trauma. He says multiple times that he wants things to go back to the way they were before. Back before everything happened, back when Jon could say he was good and not feel like it might be a lie.
I think that if Jon hadn’t been kidnapped and mind controlled that Jon never would have been so forgiving of Nia. Even if Nia had died and helped to save him twice, I don’t think he would feel so strongly about wanting Jay to forgive her and let it go.
His problem with Jay hating Nia isn’t that Nia saved Jon, or that Jon’s worrying about Jay wanting revenge. Jon is heavily projecting what happened to him onto Nia. Nia was blackmailed. Jon was brainwashed. Jon was forced to be a back seat driver to his own body. And he watched himself devastate the community he’d grown up in, the heroes he thought were so good and the people who would look up to him. And despite the fact that his body and powers were used like a weapon he wasn’t even party to using, he’s terrified that what happened makes him unforgivable.
When Jon gets upset about Jay not forgiving Nia, it’s because Jon seems to believe on some subconscious level that if Nia can still be a good person, if she can be forgiven, then Jon’s sins aren’t unforgiveable.
For Jon, Nia’s his mirror. For Jay, she’s the enemy.
Unfortunately, if Jon doesn’t figure this out fast, he’s going to lose his boyfriend. Yes, Nia did save Jon, but she was also part of why Jay lost so much. Jay’s living very much in the present, in what’s happened, in what to do next. I think that’s a function of everything Jay’s suffered before now too. He doesn’t have the privilege to not be aware and present in what’s going on. The slightest misstep and he can lose even more. I bet keeping his eyes wide open is how he escaped, and how he’s made it this far. I bet he probably has problems letting go and not constantly keeping an eye on threats. Like him watching Waller in her cell. The fact that he’s not as paranoid as Batman at this point is an actual miracle.
So, Jay’s got both eyes open, looking forward, while Jon’s looking behind them. They’re walking down the road together, hands clasped tight, but Jon keeps bumping into and stepping on Jay because he’s not looking forward.
I wanna add, the part where Jon is trying to argue with the guard about letting them in really stands out to me. He’s clinging so hard to the concept of being good, of being Superman’s son, of being someone who can hold that mantel. There’s a heavy instability in the guilt, and he’s drowning in it. If he can’t figure out his problem, he’s going to take multiple people down with him.
That being said, I believe that if Jon can identify his issue and put it into words and admit it that he’ll actually fix it. Right now, he’s focused so much on Jay, how Jay’s doing, how he’s healing, that Jon isn’t working on his own problems. Almost like he doesn’t think he deserves to heal, or feel better, or anything but suffer. But that type of mentality will straight up kill relationships.

Bruce's Billionaire Cliche
You know what one of the clichés (real or from movies) about scandals of middle-aged or older millionaires is?
A spouse of the children's age…..
and you know who needs a story like that….
a Bruce Wayne of around 40 years old….
yep, think about it…
at that time Dick (the oldest son) must be between 25 and 30 years old…

no, let's write about the reaction of the Batkids to discover the secret romance of their father with who they thought would be their new brother/sister…. yep, the chaos that would be if instead of an adoption certificate, they were shown a marriage certificate…
and of course let's not forget the reaction of the media about the new spouse….
