I'll call my dad
The justice league was in disaray. They had failed to stop the summoning, and already the demon was stepping out of the portal. The last standing heros didn't have the manpower to stop a whole thrall army and the magic users certainly hadn't the power to deal with the demon himself. They needed a plan, or a miracle, or the earth was doomed.
Suddenly, Constantine braced himself, and strode right to the beast.
"Don't step further, or I'll have to call my dad."
The heros were baffled. The demon too.
"Your... dad ?"
"That's right," he was sweating bullets but he continued "I'm John Constantine and Phantom is my dad. He cares a lot about Earth. He will not take kindly your little invading stunt."
"Who is Phantom ?" wispered Flash to Zatana.
"I don't know."
The league didn't know if he was bluffing or not. Zatana had recently heard rumors about Constantine's father, but it was all vague, shrouded in secrecy.
The surprised past, the demon laught.
"Alright," he mocked, "Let see what your 'dad' think of that."
Constantine took a deep breath and reluctantly put out a piece of paper form his inner pocket. As he put it in fire with a spell, the cave they were in was breifly plunged in freezing cold and supernatural darkness. A thunderous ice crack resoned, that they could feel in their chest as much as they heard. The shadows sleethed into the form of a titanesque being, and suddenly big, bright, lazarus green eyes opened. And they didn't look happy.
"John."
He gulped.
"Hi dad."
"It's a school night."
"I know," the magician cringed, "I swear I have a good reason."
Now the being looked downright pissed.
"Damn, I would hope so ! Do you have any idea what time it is ?"
"He wants to destroy the Earth !" defended Constantine almost petulantly, waving at the confused demon.
The green eyes looked at the demonic being, then the leaguers in various states of injuries, then the demon again. The demon didn't seem like he wanted to be here anymore. He was proved right when he received a monstruous fist in the face.
The entity grabbed him by an ankle, threw him back to hell, then slammed the portal shut as if it was a door. Constantine visibly relaxed.
"Thanks a lot."
"Don't mention it," grumbled the being. "Anything else you need ?"
"No. And I'm really sorry, I know it's late."
"Just don't make it an habit. See you on sunday."
And just like that, he was gone. Wally had to sit down.
"What the fuck."

Hi everyone ! I was reminded of that post a while ago where Danny inherited of Connie's soul and decided it counts as adoption (can't find it now) and this is what came to my brain.

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

DPxDC Shit Fae!Danny Has Said While Living With Waynes
Danny, making a 'got your nose' gesture: Hey Jason, look, I've got your name!
Red Hood, who suddenly can't remember his own name: What the fuck
Bruce, in a tired dad voice: Danny, please, we talked about this, return your brother's name back
Danny: Oh, come on, it's not like he even uses it
Jason, thankfully remembering his name: And I repeat, what the f u c k
Steph, at dinner: I was wondering, what do faeries even eat normally? Like, flowers and stuff?
Danny, his eyes two black voids inside his eyesockets: The souls of the innocent
Steph: So that's a 'no' on the flowers?
Danny, back to normal and shoving a bagel in his mouth: I mean, I can, but would you want to stay on the crumbs-only diet when you are in a 5-star Michelin restaurant?
Tim: It's actually 3-star. Michelin rating system only has three stars, not five.
Dick: Are you saying that people are basically food joints for Fae?
Damian, at Constantine: It would do you well to choose your wording better when speaking to fair folk-
Danny, very much a fair folk, appearing out of thin air in the Cave: Yolo, s'up bitches, guess who's back in town!
Damian: -even when they do not necessarily do so themselves.
Constantine, looking between them: Are you sure you're the human and he is the changeling?
Tim, 46 hours of no sleep: Hey, if you can take a name from someone, does it mean you can take, like, other things that have no real shape or form?
Danny: Names do have shape and form, they even have taste. Yours is like a ping-pong ball made out of really dense cotton candy with banana-caramel flavor.
Tim, losing his touch with reality: Dense banana cotton candy...
Danny: By the way, I know you wanted to ask me if I could take your need to sleep from you, and theoretically, the answer is yes.
Tim, his whisper full of hope: ...will you?..
Danny: No. Either go to sleep or keep suffering. I'm not here to make your life easier.
Danny, after a half-an-hour rant on the Fae customs and traditions: -and Fae never tell the truth, but also never lie. It's a work of art, you know, say what you want but never in a way that makes sense.
Jason: So Fae just like to fuck with people.
Danny, looking him in the eyes, smiling and winking: Sure, humans are very fuckable.
Bruce, trying very hard not to pay attention to this: Can you make an example?
Danny: Sure. I lied.
Bruce: Where?
Danny: :)
Bruce, feeling like he is about to lose his mind: W h e r e ?
Alfred, right after he heard Dick's muffled screaming in the hallway: Young Master Danny, would you mind returning Master Dick his ability to talk in coherent sentences?
Danny, obediently standing up and walking out of the library: ...okay.
Bruce: How come he always listens to you?
Alfred: He knows what I will do if he doesn't.
Danny, returning to the library: He will change all the silverware to iron-ware. As well as the doorknobs and hairbrushes and lightswitches and everything else.
Alfred: Did you fix Master Dick's shoes?
Danny: I did. But I still think that making all of his shoes left ones was funny.
Alfred: Indeed, it was.

~{ Heyyy, so I’ll gonna be busy for a bit so this should hold you feral gremlins off for a bit so I don’t have you all on the edge of my woods with fire and pitchforks, soo hope you like }~
•The Dancer•

So when John Constantine walked into the house of mysterious only to see the FUCKING embodiment of time itself which is known to almost never bring good news [and who he has has had a few “one night” stands with, even if said “one night” lasted like a month with no change in the outside world] so John is internally freaking out inside.
And that’s when Clockwork turns to him and floats over to him until he’s in front of John and he says in his old and ethereal voice.
“Hello Constantine” Clockwork says and John feels like the pit in his stomach has grown into a cavern by what the embodiment of time may want from himso john turns his charm up to a fucking 11.
“Hello to you Clockwork, may this be a house visit maybe we could start where we ended last time~” John says in a flirty tone but in his voice in a underlying nervousness that he knows Clockwork can hear.
That’s when he hears Clockwork chuckle and responds with “Fear not, John I do not carry misfortune with my visit”The Ancient of time says with an air of amusement and mirth in his eyes as he looks at John. “Than why the sudden visit?” John ask still with a bit of a flirty undertone in his voice, look his not taking ANY chances with Clockwork anytime soon.
“The introduction of new Prince of death is in the coming days and you are in attendance” Clockwork says with finality that told john that he didn’t have a chance in the matter of his attendance and before John can say anything back Clockwork says “I will summon you when it is time, be prepared.”.
And he’s gone back to wherever Clockwork goes to do his job and John is just relieved there was no bad news for the world but then John realizes what clockwork said.
“THERES A NEW BLOODY FUCKING PRINCE???”
-•—••••••••••••••••—•-
After a bit the ghost side of Danny’s (half)life has chilled out with him and the other ghost coming to an agreement for them to leave amity Park alone and Danny will go to The Ghost Zone three times a week to make sure he stays healthy and to hang out with them.
And turns out the observers wanted more power around a few thousand years back and used their influence and power to turn Pariah Dark insane and put him in the nap-time box so they could rule The Ghost Zone so Danny beat their collective asses and help Pariah Dark chill TF out so he’s back to normal and over this time has grown close with Danny and has come to think of him as a son so there chill.
Oh and don’t worry Pariah Dark also beat the ever loving shit out of the observers for turning him insane and turning him into a tyrant
But for the human side of Danny’s life has become more dangerous for Danny.
The G.I.W and his parents have somehow managed to get ahold [ VLAD ] of blood blossoms and turning their weapons more and more deadly for him and with Jazz off to college and Tucker, Sam having their own things. Danny is not having a good time and he talks about his concerns for his safety with Pariah Dark and he suggest that Danny moves over to the ghost zone full time as it is too dangerous with the blood blossom weapons and it’s not like the Fentons will notice him missing.
So Danny grabs his things and moves to the ghost zone full time and as he’s basically Pariah Dark’s ghost son at this point he is welcomed as the new prince so he’s just been hanging around the ghost zone for awhile [3 months].
And in this time Danny picked up dancing from a new friend of his who in her life was a romani dancer and she taught him how to dance and it has been affecting his ghost form so that’s fun and after he was found dancing in the gardens.
He had earned the nickname “The Dancing Prince”
-•—••••••••••••••••—•-•Appearances•
Danny’s dancing wear-



[ He likes to dress in more airy clothes when he’s dancing and the hair the accessories for when he’s dancing was given to him by his new friend ]
Danny’s normal wear-


[ Danny’s hair grew out a bit so when he’s not dancing he just holds it up with ribbons]
+ Danny has jewelry but I can’t find any good ones so that really up to you gremlins
-•—••••••••••••••••—•-

~{ And that’s it! Hope this holds you guys off for a bit and the new friend I mentioned is mostly based off one of my OCs so just a random thing and if you gremlins like this I’ll probably add more but anyways byeeee }~

(Now) Tired Dads- John meets Danny
John stared, betrayed, at the armchair that he had just stubbed his toe on. Yes, it was only nine in the morning and yes he had only gone to bed at four in the morning after being up for nearly thirty-seven… nine, what-the-fuck-ever hours, but that was fine. That was normal. The armchair being in his way was not.
He’d wandered the House of Mystery plenty of times when half asleep or with his face in a book or bleeding out… whichever of those. Point was, he never stubbed his toe on any of the furniture in any of those states. Him and the House got along pretty well these days. Sure it was a little rough in the start, but now the House looked out for him just like he looked out for it.
That meant that if he stubbed his toe— if the House let him stub his toe— then the House was trying to get his attention about something.
And that was never good.
John rubbed at his face as he spent a moment considering just going back to bed. He was trapped, drained, spent, out of everything. He’d be no good if it was something actually dangerous. But if it was actually something dangerous, the House would have (or should have) done more than just stub a toe. Maybe it was just a clogged pipe or some shit like that and the house was feeling bitchy.
“Right then House, lead the way, show me what you're having a mare about ” John said with a sigh and headed for the closest doorway. He trusted the House to put him in the rooms that it wanted him in.
It was concerning, then, when John had moved through a few rooms without anything of note. If it got to several rooms he was backing out until he had more sleep. Anything that could confuse the House like this was dangerous.
“Fucking— really?” John asked towards the ceiling as he was looped through the kitchen after having just left the kitchen.
A cabinet slammed into the back of his knee, right into the bend. Clutching at the spot, John hobbled out of reach with a string of curses and a glare at the door.
It hung open with a pointed little creak.
“Right, fine, kitchen it is. Gonna be any help with that, mate? Any hints?” John asked as he started opening cabinets. “Clogged sink? Burner out? Something rank in the back of the fridge? Small child hiding in one of your cabinets?”
The small child’s face scrunched up in a scowl. “I’m not small.”
“You’re in cabinet, bruv.”
“I just squish well!”
“… yeah, that isn’t better than being small, Tiny,” John said.
“Tiny?! I’m, like, fifteen!”
John thought the tiny kid might be actually offended, not that John cared. He backed up a step and crossed his arms. “And yet still inside a cabinet. Get the fuck out of there.”
The child— seriously fucking what— glared at John before they finally moved to get out of the cabinet. The stacked saucers and tea cups rattled as they pulled out of the fucking kid’s body as the kid moved to sit on the counter in a huff.
John would so be washing everything in that cabinet before next tea time.
If he remembered.
Maybe.
“Okay Tiny, what the fuck—”
“You can’t kick me out!”
John paused, just for a moment, but quickly got his feet under him and asked, “Yeah? Why not?”
“Because the House let me in! It says I can stay so I can stay and you can’t kick me out,” Tiny said in a rush.
John was pretty sure if the kid was breathing, they would be hyperventilating.
Wait.
What?
---
AN: This used to be possibly black smoke custody, but I went back to it (only had the first few paragraphs) and this is much, much more Tired Dads energy. Poor Danny, stuck being called Tiny.

DP x DC prompt:
Daniel was seething. It's been a year since he left the league and they've already found him. Well, it was his mother who found him. Not that that was any better but at least it wasn't Grandfather.
It also shouldn't have taken him so long to dispose of those soldiers. They weren't even that capable. Far below his level and yet he struggled. He needed to resume his training soon or else he would become rusty.
He cursed himself for getting too comfortable with civilian life. Not that his life was comfortable, far from actually.
He had been adopted by a pair of mad scientist with no concept of lab safety; and for all the intelligence they had, they couldn't fathom how to properly take care of a child, leaving their daughter to take care of herself and now her newly adopted sibling!
He sighed. He was starting to get angry. He couldn't afford to get angry. Especially not at Jazz. She was only two years older than him and was doing her best. She's also the only good thing in his life right now meaning that he had to cherish her, not break her. (He wouldn't be like his brother)
His mind stayed on Jazz for a while before immediately increasing his speed. He really needed to resume his training. How could he be so slack to forget such a possibility! Daniel desperately hoped that his sister Jazz was okay and that they wouldn't dare.
Entering through his bedroom window he rushed straight to Jazz's bedroom. It was open. She wasn't there.
Daniel started to panic when he heard a muffed scream coming from downstairs. Adrenaline coursed through his veins as he rushed down the stairs and into the kitchen.
In all honesty Daniel expected the worse. To see his sister Jazz dead on the floor, thick red gushing from her neck, the scent of blood in the air. And there was blood, it just wasn't her's.
Daniel always prided himself on having a vivid imagination. It was a great way to escape after an especially hard training session with his brother. But he would have never imagined this.
In the small, laughably suburban kitchen of the Fenton household was a sight to behold. In the air were two mangled bodies, unidentifiable if not for the league's emblem still visible on one of them. And on the wall was a splatter, a rather big one. It wasn't blood. It was too dark to be. But whatever it was was very unlucky.
In the center of the kitchen was Jazz. Her arms were outstretched, burning sigils rotating at the end of each palm. Her eyes glowed a bright icy blue.
Upon noticing him everything stopped. She looked fearful. Tears threatening to come forth.
"Wait I can explain, just don't tell mom or dad! Please!"
Daniel, still a bit shocked but not as much, simply walked into the kitchen towards the cupboard. Taking out a clean towel he unsheathed he sword and began to clean it.
He looked over his shoulder towards Jazz. She didn't look as scared but her eyes still held some fear. So he spoke, making sure the still bloody sword was in veiw.
"I won't tell if you don't." He flashed a grin his tiny fangs peaking out.
Jazz sighed as in the weight of the world was lifted off of her. She looked at him and smiled.
"Mom and Dad aren't going to be back for a while. Wanna help me clean up?"

Magicians way [part 1]
.・゜-: ✧ :-
It's not often that he finds himself in such position, but it does happen.
John Constantine never would have thought he'd scratch the "tied up by a cult to be used as sacrifice to summon a powerful ghost" spot on his bingo card.
He doesn't even feel threatened by the cult, hell, all he will receive from this day is pure embarrassment if the summoning circle is really the one he thinks it is.
Great, it's glowing.
Little bastard knows and is on his way here.
Shit.
"Oh all mighty King of Ghosts! We summon thee! Appear!"
If he has to listen to that badly scripted American movie summoning ritual one more word, he's gonna do some serious damage.
The circle lights up in sickly green, the ectoplasm flooding the insides of the portal as it opens.
And there he stands, the boyprince of the Infinity Realms.
"Hey, dad!" The being greets, swinging a swift fist against one of the cultist.
The rest are frozen and now that they're alone John sees the shit eating grin on the gremlins face.
"Danny." He greets back, watching as his kid swipes some invisible dust from his hat and putting it on back.
"Man, this is so embarrassing for you. Let me just—"
To make matters worse, Danny pulls out his bloody smartphone and takes a picture of him tied up.
"I'm sending this to mom." He's fiddling with the rope, smug smirk on him that John would love to flip off if his hands weren't bound.
"Useless..."
Ah, here comes the blackmail. A kids after his own heart.
The little shit.
Visual picture of Constantine being embarrassed. (Yes, he's tied up with a RED RIBBON for funnsies.)

Next-to-last of our species Pt. 3
Part 2 Part 4
Damian had never realized how lonely he'd been before coming to Gotham. Probably because he was too tense and stressed to feel any emotion beyond the bare minimum required to survive in the LOA; distrust and anger. It took him a long time to realize this, more time to accept it.
Damian liked his therapist. Her name was Anisa Mussa and she'd been working for the Justice League for about seven years, the first two as a receptionist and the next five as a licensed therapist. She was a first generation Tanzanian immigrant, talked with a slight accent and always smelled like spices that reminded Damian of Saudi Arabia.
She'd bring food during their sessions, allowing him a break whenever things got emotional. His favorite was her banana curry, the balance of sweetness and spice warming him. Talking was always hard, especially when it was about his feelings, but he never felt like Mussa was judging him. Just listening. He liked that she didn't take notes, just clasped her hands and watched him.
Damian liked that he could just...talk. Talk without choosing his words, without thinking if his sentence was grammatically correct, without worrying that what he said would crush the carefully crafted persona people knew. Damian always felt that he had to be an 'old soul', he had to be confident and adult-like and mature. But in that baby blue room with no recording devices or notes, he could talk like a kid. Cry like a kid.
That week had been bad. Not for any big reason, just a large amount of small things that built up. He couldn't open a jar, he tripped at school and someone laughed at him, he forgot to charge his phone, Richard had to miss the family movie night because of work things. He was tired for no reason but he couldn't sleep. He ran out of tofu and had to eat something different. Nothing world-ending. Just a hundred minor inconveniences.
That Friday when she asked how he'd been he just—broke down. He cried for the first time in years. He'd felt so stupid and embarrassed, crying about how he didn't even want tofu that badly, but just the fact it wasn't there made him want to scream. He cried about everything, every stupid, meaningless thing, and she listened. She didn't try and shush him, didn't ask him to calm down, didn't even try and comfort him. Just handed him tissues and let him talk.
When he finally calmed down she asked him if he wanted a snack, and gave him some fried pickles. As he ate she explained how he was likely experiencing sensory overload on top of exhaustion, depression, and adultification. She asked when was the last time he cried, and Damian admitted he couldn't remember. "This is probably the first time since I was a baby," he said, chewing. She nodded, the beads attached to her head scarf clicking together. "Children your age often get overwhelmed by things like that, especially if their constantly in high-stress situations like you."
"But unlike other children, you were not allowed to get overwhelmed. Getting overwhelmed meant death. Now that death is not a constant threat, your mind is relaxing. The tiredness is from not just your nightly activities but your body relaxing as well. Your mind is coming to terms with everything that has happened, and slowly you are coming out of your adult persona. You are becoming more like a child." Damian had frowned. "But I just turned eleven. I'm a teenager now, not a child." She'd smiled at him and handed him a napkin and a small cup of dipping sauce.
"Eleven is still a child. No one will be calling you a teenager until your fourteen or fifteen. You are a child, Damian. No one will get mad at you for crying." And she was right. When he got home he found Richard in his room. He was sitting on his bed, typing something on his laptop. He smiled at him as he entered. "Hey! How'd it go?" Damian sat next to him, fiddling with his hands.
"I cried." He said simply. Richard paused. "Oh." He closed his laptop and allowed Damian to curl up into his side. "Would it be okay if I cried?" Damian had asked quickly, picking at his palms. "Mussa said children my age often cry when they get overwhelmed and that it was acceptable for me to cry. Do you agree? Would me crying make you uncomfortable?"
Damian had felt ashamed at the way his voice wavered, but Richard just pulled him into a hug. "Oh Dami, of course its ok. I cry all the time! You've seen it!" Damian had laughed softly, even as his voice got stuck in his throat. "You can cry anytime you want, ok? Whenever you feel like crying, just let it out. It'll all be okay, baby bat." Damian cried for the second time, burying his face in Richards chest and just wailing. Richard held him, stroked his head, rubbed his back, told him everything was ok, and Damian believed him.
His new clone brother acted a lot like Richard. Danny took care of Connor, comforting him after experiments and protecting him as best he could from the more sadistic scientists. Damian had watched all of the footage from Cadmus, rewatching many parts. Mostly Danny and Connor interacting. He watched the brothers protect each other, comfort each other, play despite the situation, and Damian respected them both.
He understood they shouldn't go in guns blazing, especially since Danny could turn from a flight risk to a deadly threat in seconds, but he really wanted to meet them. He wanted to learn Martian, he wanted to show Connor his pets. Would Batcow be the first cow he's ever seen? He hoped so. Danny seemed indifferent to animals, but he was certain Connor would love the idea of pets. Would he be a dog or cat person? Amphibian or reptile? Maybe if Father didn't want another pet they could get him a fish!
"Father," He whisper to him, "Do you think Connor would like animals?" Father gave him a soft smile. "Maybe," He whispered back. Robin knew a Justice League meeting room wasn't the place for this discussion, but he was far to excited to care. "Do you think that, once they're living with us, we could get him a pet? Something small, like a rabbit or a fish! Maybe a small dog? We could take them on walks together! Do you think Connor would like Batcow? Does Danny like animals? I couldn't tell from the footage."
Fathers smile grew. "We don't know if they're going to be living with us, chum. But if they do, we can get them a small pet if they'd like. Danny hasn't mentioned liking pets, but he also hasn't said he dislikes them. I think Connor would love pets, especially Batcow." Robin felt rather pleased. "When will the magician be here?" Fathers smile twitched. Not surprising since he seemed to only tolerate Constantine. "He should've been here ten minuets ago. But as usual, he's late."
Across from them Wonder Women laughed. "I don't understand why your so upset! Johns never been on time a day in his life. I trust he'll arrive in due time; he is probably dealing with supernatural things." Beside her Martian Manhunter nodded. "While I too wish he was on time, I understand circumstances change. I can only hope he will recognize the symbol when he arrives." Robin agreed with both of them. "Can I text Danny and ask if he and Connor like animals?" Robin reached into Fathers pockets and grabbed his phone. Father sighed but smiled.
"Sure thing, chum. Just remember; don't try and force them into agreeing to live with us. They probably like their new house." He nodded and open the chat. 'This is your brother Damian. Do you like animals?' he sent the text and waited. And waited. He waited for about ten seconds then asked Father, "Why hasn't he responded?"
Father patted him on the back. Robin leaned closer to him. "You just sent the text. Maybe he hasn't seen it yet, or he's driving or cooking. He'll respond soon, just be patient." Robin nodded, and began playing Candy Crush. Father had several games he didn't play that him and his siblings did. Timothy played a rhythm game, Stephanie played mahjong, Richard some idle game, Jason a farm game, Cain a block puzzle game, Barbara sudokus, and Duke Cookie Clicker.
He clicked out and back into the chat, texting 'Also do you like games?' then went back to Candy Crush. They waited for another five minuets before the door opened and John Constantine walked in, his trench coat singed and covered in soot. "Don't ask," was all he said before sitting down, groaning and pulling out a flask. He took a long swing, then leaned back in his chair.
"Alright then, what d'ya want?" Father sighed and pulled out the folder. "As you've been told, one of the clones created during Project Cadmus has magic; it is unconfirmed whether he is a Homo Magi or a magic user. He can open portals to other dimensions and recently we've spotted him using money from another dimension."
Father slid the file over to Constantine. "This is the card he was using. The numbers have been translated to say 'Vault Access', 'Valid Until Death', and his name. What we've called you here for is information on the symbol on the card. Do you recognize it or any of the other symbols?" Constantine rolled his eyes and opened the file, then paused. He stared at the picture of the card for a moment, then closed the file and put his head in his hands. "Oh my fucking god..." He sighed. "Batman, why the fuck did the personification of time give this clone a credit card?"
Robin paused. Father stared, so did Wonder Women and Martian Manhunter. "...what?" Martian Manhunter looked confused, as did Wonder Women. Robin looked at Father and saw he was still processing the sentence. "This symbol right here," Constantine pulled out the picture, "Is the Mark of Time, literally the personification of time itself. This mark means that the card was a gift, on top of the symbols surrounding it..." Constantine looked closer, muttering curses under his breath.
"Aw, what the fuck!?" Constantine slammed the picture down and pointed at one of the rings. "This is a royal vault, Batman! The money in this vault belongs to the High King of The Infinite Realms! Why the fuuuccckkk..." Constantine banged his head on the table, once, twice, three, four, five, then laid there. It was silent for a moment. Fathers phone buzzed. It was Danny. 'Don't know what hes winning about lol. Its not like it affects him.' "My clone brother says it doesn't affect you," Robin said, showing Father the phone.
Constantine chuckled into the table. "Is Danny stealing from an interdimensional king?" Wonder Women asked seriously. "Worse," Constantine mumbled, "He is the King." The phone buzzed. "Danny says your wrong," Father looked grim. "He says that the scientists at Cadmus were playing with DNA beyond their understanding, and that they..." Robin looked over his shoulder. "He says they, quote, 'played eenie-meenie-miney-mo when making me. I have no clue why they decided to use this shit, much less where they got it from.'"
"He continues, 'good news is I'm now technically the Crown Prince to the Infinite Realms and Clockwork is okay with it. Bad news; no fucking clue what that really means, and Clockwork thinks its funny not to tell me. But hey, twenty bucks is twenty bucks.'" Constantine laughed into the table. "Jesus christ, Batman," he laughed, sitting up, "Why is it your kids are always getting into shit like this?" "Is Danny in danger?" Martian Manhunter asked. He looked worried.
"Not really," He sighed, pulling out his flask again. "Not if hes as buddy-buddy with literal time itself as it sounds. Hey kid," He said louder, "Portals the only shiny new toys you got?" The phone buzzed, the screen going black then bright green. "I hope so," Dannys voice came out as if on a phone call, "Martian powers are enough. What should I expect, oh occult expert?" Constantine laughed again.
"Who fuckin' knows! One King became some Chimera monstrosity, another Queen became so beautiful the Greeks named her Aphrodite." Danny was silent for a moment. "...and the current king? Pariah Dark? He's still asleep, right?" Constantine sat up, his face turning deathly serious. "Nothin' to worry about, lad. He's gone. Something happened; he attacked the wrong world. He went in, never came back out. Just gone in an instant."
"What happened to the world? Are it's people ok? I'd assume they are if they were able to kill The Mad King." Constantine shrugged and took another sip. "As far as anyone knows, their alive. I personally don't care who they are or how they managed to kill that tyrant, I'm just thankful. How much do you know about the Infinite Realms?" The phone slid out of Fathers hands and into the middle of the table, the green starting to glow.
"Its basically the house of afterlives. Any religion thats ever existed, whether it was made up for a book or actually worshiped, sends their dead to the Infinite Realms so they can go to their afterlives. The realms are kinda like a magnet for souls, right?" Constantine nodded. "Right. High king is the ruler of the Gods of the afterlives—"
"—but usually he's the ruler of the unbound dead, the ghosts that don't go to an afterlife and instead haunt the living world." This was a lot of information. "So is every religion real?" He asked. "Yep." Danny replied. "Gods are created by their worshipers. Their powers are given to them by the people, and their power depends on how many people believe in them and how strong that general belief is. Even religions in stories become real if enough people read or know about them, like the Halls of Mandos."
"Where you go depends on what you believe in the most, but if you believe in multiple things you can choose. Some choose not to go anywhere at all and become the ghosts we know." Constantine took another swing from his flask. "You've been educated." Danny laughed. "Yep! Clockwork says that I'll have to become the king for reasons I don't understand, but that I'll have five hundred years after I die to prepare or do whatever I want. Pretty good deal if you ask me." Constantine hummed. "So you don't know why you've been crowned as heir?"
"I wish I did! The realms does it trial-by-combat style, right?" Constantine nodded. "Yeah, it does. So if you didn't fight Pariah Dark, why are you heir?" "Heres a better question; if Pariah Dark is dead, why am I heir instead of king? Is someone else currently sitting on the throne?" That was a good question. "Have you been to the land of the dead?" Martian Manhunter asked. He looked scared. "Yeah, only four times since making portals is a process. The first two to get the card set up and to talk with Clockwork, the last two to learn about what happened. Haven't made much progress so far."
"Do you like animals?" Robin couldn't help but ask. Danny chuckled. "Yeah, pit bulls are my jam. Connor wants a bird." Robin turned to Father, beaming. "Can we get Connor a bird? Please??" Danny laughed, and Father smiled. "Maybe, depends on if their house can fit a bird." Constantine opened the file again, looking over the mark. "If your heir," He asked slowly, "Where are your guards?" Danny snorted. "Who, Fright Knight? I told him to guard the castle; gave'em a speech about how life should be lived and death is inevitable."
"Whose Fright Knight?" Robin asked. "Oh, he's the embodiment of fear. He's the kings head guard and is usually the right hand. He's chill....Most of the time. He takes his guard duties very seriously." "I'm glad you and Connor have someone keeping you safe," Robin said honestly, "Is he kind to you?" Robin felt Father squeeze his hand, a silent 'I'm proud of you'. "Yeah, Connors obsessed with Nightmare, and since Nightmare likes Connor, so does Fright Knight." "Whose Nightmare?" "His demon vampire pegasus. He's got a headless horseman theme."
"A demon vampire pegasus?!" That sounded so cool. He wanted to pet it, feed it, brush it's mane, ride it. "Yep, normal horse body with bat wings and fangs. She feeds off nightmares, hence the name." Robin looked at Father, ecstatic. "If Danny shall allow, can I send her presents?" Robin turned back to the phone. "Does she like sugar cubes and apples? How will I feed her nightmares?" Danny laughed. "Sure! She actually likes lemon rinds. Usually she feeds off nightmares by being near people who are dreaming. I don't think you can make fear transportable." Robin knew of a way, but he wasn't going to risk that.
"Alright," Constantine stood, stretching. "As long as you don't start doing crazy shite on the throne, I don't see a problem with you using vault money; it's not like you'll bleed the thing dry. You need help with any supernatural ghostly shite, call me. Until then, I'm gonna drink until I forget this ever happened." Constantine nodded at the phone and the adults, waved to him, then disappeared in a puff of smoke. "Welp, this has been fun, but I've gotta go. I got stuff in the oven. Damian, I'll come around next Saturday with Connor; you can help him decide on what kind of bird to get. He's been having a hard time choosing, and you're more knowledgable about animals than me."
Robin beamed. He was incredibly knowledgable about all types of animals. "I am certain I can help him choose! When you come, do you want to play Minecraft with me?" He was certain Danny was smiling when he said yes. He bid goodbye to Father, Martian Manhunter and Wonder Women, saying even though they didn't really talk it was still nice to meet her. When the phone stopped glowing Robin turned to Father as Damian. "He said he'll play Minecraft with me! And Connor wants a bird! And I can feed Nightmare! And he said I'm smart!"
Father laughed and pulled him into a hug, kissing his hair. Damian laughed as well, not understanding why Father was hugging him but grateful for the contact nonetheless. " I need to tell Richard! And Cassandra! Come!" Damian pulled Father up and toward the door. Father laughed and pulled him back, leaning down to hug him again. "I have to stay here, chum. I need to finish this file. I'll meet you at home, okay?" Damian nodded, laughing when Father kissed his head again.
Damian turned and ran down the halls, excitement filling his veins. His clone brothers were coming to see him! Him! They were going to play games and talk about animals and eat spicy food—this was exciting! Damian nearly missed the hallway with the zeta tubes, bouncing on his heels as he typed in the code. In a flash of blue light he was in the Batcave. He ran out and up the stairs, got into the Batcaves tube, went up, pushed open the grandfather clock, and then had to go back down because he forgot to change.
Once he changed he went back up and into the kitchen, finding Alfred cleaning plates. "Hello, Master Damian. How was the meeting?" Damian beamed. "It was incredible! Danny said Connor wants a bird and that he likes pit bulls, and next Saturday they'll come and play Minecraft with me!" Alfred stopped what he was doing, and Damian didn't really notice. "Also—" Damian was interrupted by Timothy running into the kitchen. "Danny said he'll come here?!" Damian blinked. "Yes?" Timothy stood there, then pulled out his phone. "Hang on, hang on, hang on. Let me get everyone here and then tell us the rest, ok?" Damian didn't understand why he couldn't tell them everything now, but he waited patiently for his other siblings.
In less than thirty minuets all his siblings were crowded around the kitchen island, Alfred pulling up more chairs for them to sit. "So, Danny and Connor are going to come here next Saturday!" Damian didn't understand why his siblings looked so shocked. "Really? Why? Did something happen?" Richard looked worried. Damian shook his head. "No. Danny said Connor wants a bird and that he likes pit bulls, and Connor is having trouble deciding on what kind of bird to get."
"So he asked if I could help Connor decide since I'm incredibly well-informed on all kinds of pets! Obviously I said yes, and then he said that he'll play Minecraft with me when he gets here!" Damian didn't even care that he sounded childish, he was so excited. "And! The card was given to him by the personification of time, an entity named Clockwork. The card is connected to a royal vault belonging to the King of The Infinite Realms; this dimension holds every afterlife of every religion to ever exist, whether real of fictional. He said that the Halls on Mandos are real—" Jason choked, "—because belief is what leads people to create gods, not the other way around."
"Somehow he's become the heir to the throne of the Infinite Realms due to the Cadmus scientists frivolously adding DNA to his embryo. The past king was a tyrant, and Danny called him The Mad King, Pariah Dark. Somehow he woke up from his slumber and attacked a dimension that managed to kill him. No one knows how they did it; according to Constantine, the king went in and never came out. Danny was confused on why he was heir instead of king if the king was dead, but he said he wasn't complaining since he didn't want to be king. Clockwork allowed him this life and five hundred years after death before he has to take the throne."
"The King of the Infinite Realms is king of the ghosts that do not to go to an afterlife, instead choosing to wander as ghosts. But most importantly," His siblings leaned forward, "Dannys guard Fright Knight has a horse thats a demonic pegasus! Her name is Nightmare and she feeds off fear and nightmares, and she likes lemon rinds. She has bat wings!" Timothy sighed, leaning back as his siblings chuckled. "Well! That's a lot to take in," Stephanie laughed. "You managed to convince Danny to come here?" Timothy asked. Damian tilted his head. "Convinced? No, he asked to come so Connor can choose a bird and play Minecraft with me."
The realization hit Damian then. Danny had been avoiding them as much as possible. He'd gone across the United States to hide from them, destroyed cameras, erased peoples minds, jumped from car to car and changing licenses plates constantly. But he agreed to come to their home. "Oh." Damian felt his face flush. He was so caught up in animals and games that he'd completely forgotten about the vigilante aspects of the meeting. "I think it's wonderful that Master Danny and Master Connor will be visiting," Alfred said, smiling at him. "Do you happen to know if there are any allergens I should be privy too?"
"I can ask," Damian replied, still feeling embarrassed. Cassandra hugged him, cooing, "Brothers are coming to visit, all thanks to you. Good job, baby bat." Damian smiled softly. "Well, we should make it a game night." Duke said. "Just let loose and play some Minecraft." Immediately they launched into planning, Jason suggesting World of Warcraft, Richard saying they obviously had to play Mario Kart, Stephanie talking about Twister and Monopoly. Damian said that they had to play Minecraft because that's what they're coming for, and Timothy asked if he wanted to download some mods.
They talked for another thirty minuets, only stopping when Father walked in. "Hey B!" Richard said, "Damian told us the good news!" Father smiled. "I'm certainly excited. But remember; I don't want you guys to even suggest they move in with us. We don't want to scare them away, okay?" They all nodded, then kept discussing games and snacks. Damian stood and went to Father. "I'm sorry I was acting foolish earlier," He said softly, "I only realized later how important it was that Danny would choose to come here." Father smiled at him, kneeling down.
"I was just as excited as you, chum. Seeing you happy makes me happy, and I'm so proud of how you handled the meeting. Because of you, your brothers are going to visit. Thank you, Damian." Damian felt his eyes burn, and he hugged father as hard as he could. Father picked him up, rubbing his back, and carried him back to the table. Thankfully his siblings didn't mention the tears in his eyes, or the fact Father was holding him like a child. But he was a child, so why would they mention it? Damian settled into Fathers arms, enjoying the feeling of someone cradling him. Father kissed his head, then had to tell Jason and Timothy to stop kicking each other. Damian smiled as the sounds of his family talking surrounded him.

John Constantine knew what he was. Knew he wasn’t a good man. He tried, sometimes. Got credit for it more often than he should. But at the end of the day, he was a bastard of the highest sort and nothing was going to change that fact. A rogue and a rake through and through. He lied, he cheated, he stole, and delighted in doing so. Cut from the same cloth as ol’ Stingy Jack who tricked the devil into letting him live longer than he should and managed to keep himself out of hell to boot after he’d finally shuffled off his mortal coil. John liked to think his cloth had been sewn into a much sharper suit though. He’d been clever enough to avoid the dying altogether, no carrying around smoldering turnips in the bleak between of closed-off afterlives for him, thanks. He was a charlatan and a scoundrel, and many, many worse things besides. John knew what he was. The woman who appeared in his dank and stinking flop house room in the middle of the night knew what he was too.
The Wild Hunt calls. For better or worse, John Constantine answers.

Alrighty so I fucked up a little with the poll I did for the DanDad AU with making it last a week instead of a day, but oh well🤷♀️, anywho since the majority is the yes to the DC crossover, Y'all can decide who Dan gets a partner or not!
If any one comments on any other ships I'll do another poll with those one and the winner of this one!
Edit: I think we all know he needs therapy 😂
( kinda wish you could choose how long you could do the poll for, you know besides 1 day vs. 1 week)

Another short DP X DC prompt
Shared custody au and divorced energy Danny x Val with Ellie being a new member of yj and them meeting her parents seperately and together making different assumptions all together.
They thought Ellie is a child of a messy villian/hero union. Ellie doesn't correct this. Too busy laughing at the thought. The feral gremlin then FULLY leans to it. Calling hero Red Huntress mom and ghost menace Phantom dad then vaguely mentioning how hard it is when mom and dad fights. Doesn't help that they saw how Phantom and Red Huntress immediately drop their arguing whenever they think Ellie is looking and restarts fighting after sge turns her back.
D & V: *fighting, gun shots, explosions*
Ellie as Wraith: hey mom! Hey dad!
D&V: *drops fists and weapons* *smiles attentively* hi sweetie! How are you? Are those your friends? Are you having fun?
Ellie: Yeah! The yj is really fun little guys. Theyre nice!
D&V: oh thats nice sweetie!
Ellie: haha yeah *turns her back to YJ*
D&V: *immediately starts fighting again with even more gun shots, explosions*
Ellie to YJ: they're ok.
YJ: *seeing them fight behind her* what the fuck
When they had to summon the ghost king for help for something and Red Huntress stomped away and came back into the room angrily drawing a summoning circle with spray paint. She said the encantations before anyone can stop her and threw in her necklace with a ring on it. It glowed instantly and came the glorious intimidating ghost king.
Before Constantine could bullshit his way to a contract, Red Huntress aimed her plasma gun and shot at the king. JLD paled at that and tried to stop her but the king just instictively dodged.
"Valerie."
"Phantom."
"How is our Ellie doing?"
"Wouldn't you like to know, your highness."
*Cue divorced energy bickering*
What the fuck is going on with their vibes.
Meanwhile...
John: Wait, Phantom is the ghost king?!?! You married the ghost king?!?! Wraith is a realms princess?!?!
#constantine doesnt really have any flak to call her out on the theoretical monsterfucker vibes#when he's THE monsterfucker of all time#grey ghost#dpxdc#dcxdp#dpxdc prompts#DP X DC#DC X DP#dc x dp crossover

Danny & Constantine, Orange, Butterscotch Ripple
@imbreonix Prompt fill set #4
It started out as a joke that turned into an actual event: Bring Your Sidekick To Work Day. It sounded absurd, of course it did. The Justice League was hardly work and certainly not a social club, but once it had been said people started to actually think about it. More and more of the heroes were taking on mentorship rolls for the next generation. While the heroes, of course, tried their best to provide what their mentees needed, they were still grown, experienced heroes and their sidekicks were kids.
Kids who lived a life that most could never understand.
Eventually it have been talked about enough in passing and over rushed meals and before meetings that it ended up on the agenda.
“Robin believes it would be beneficial for the younger heroes to know others in the same positions as themselves,” Batman had explained, as if that answered anything. The Big Bat wouldn’t even clarify who Robin was.
But there they were, Bring Your Sidekick To Work Day. It actually was a pretty nice event with snacks, drinks, and several enthusiastic sidekicks. It turned out Robin was Batman’s sidekick.
“Partner,” Robin insisted boldly, whenever the term sidekick was used within his hear range (which was disturbingly good).
The kid was the very opposite of Batman: bright, personable, and always in motion. Flash was more than a little concerned how quickly Robin and Kid Flash seemed hit it off. “They’re plotting something.”
“Hn,” was Batman’s reply, though he was watching the two whispering sidekicks too.
All in all it was a cheerful success.
It made John’s skin crawl. He jiggled the unlit cigarette in his fingers. He didn’t do social events, not outside of bars, and he really, really didn’t want to be here.
“We can just go back to the House,” a small, nervous voice suggested hopefully from behind John.
That was the thing, though, he wasn’t here for his own sake.
“No, we can’t,” John said with a sigh.
“We really can, though. We haven’t even talked to anyone. I bet they haven’t even noticed we’re here—”
“John! I did not think you would be attending,” Wonder Woman said as she approached, a smile in place. A good chunk of the founding members trailed after her.
“Fuck.”
“Yeah, well,” John said with a little shrug. He didn’t admonish the kid for cussing, he didn’t have a leg to stand on there, but by Superman’s puzzled face the Big Blue had clearly heard it. “Figured I had better bring the kid.”
“The kid?” Hal repeated incredulously.
John reminded himself he really shouldn’t punch his teammates.
“Yeah, the kid,” John said. He stepped aside to reveal Danny who had been hiding behind him. “Geist, Justice League, Justice League, Poltergeist.”
“Um, who, Constantine?” Flash asked, sounding nervous.
John looked to his right, which for all appearances, was an empty spot of air. “Seriously, kid?”
“Sorry,” Danny whispered.
“It’s okay, kid,” John said, holding back a sigh. The kid was sensitive to that sort of thing, so John had been trying. (He still messed up plenty, but he was trying.) John looked back the Justice Leaguers and shrugged. “Ghost. Visibility is like that sometimes.”
“Ah,” Diana said with a sage nod. John admired the woman for how nothing seemed to phase her. She simply looked to where John had been looking and smiled. “Hello, Poltergeist. Welcome to Bring Your Sidekick To Work Day.”
“Partner!” a kid dressed like a damn traffic light called from across the room where he was talking to who was clearly a mini Flash.
“Oh,” Danny said. (It was clearly weirding out some of the heroes to hear Danny but not see him.) “I’m not… John doesn’t let me help that much? I don’t know if I count as a sidekick.”
“That’s because last time you tagged along you went intangible and fell through a bridge, kid,” John grumbled and then immediately felt bad. “You know we’re working on it.”
“Yeah,” Danny mumbled.
John couldn’t see Danny, not any more than the others, but he could picture the way the kid would be scuffing his toe on the floor, head down as he rubbed at the back of his neck.
John sighed. “Ain’t your fault kid, powers take time to master.”
“Robin,” Batman called.
Immediately the tiny traffic light was literately bounding across the space to stand next to Batman. The kid smiled up at the Big Bat like the man had hung the moon.
“Yes, B?”
“This,” Batman said, nodding to the empty space, “is Poltergeist. He came with Constantine.”
“Oh,” Robin said. He spun to face the spot of air and held out his hand without hesitation. “Come, Kid Flash and I are— um,” Robin shot Batman a look, “talking. You can join us! I bet you will be really useful!”
Flash mouthed the word ‘useful’ with a terrified look on his face, but no one actually said anything while Robin just stood there, smiling, with his hand out. And then Robin’s grin impossibly widened, his hand closed around nothing, and he took off across the room.
“…anyone else worried about that?” John asked after a moment.
“So worried,” Flash said.
“Hn,” Batman added.
“Right then. I need a glass of shitty punch to spike,” John said and abandoned his teammates to find the refreshments. Thank the gods, the fuckers, for hip flasks.
-
“I live with a ghost now, Bats, you’ve got to up your skills if you want to sneak up on me anymore,” John said before taking another sip of his much improved punch.
Batman stepped up into the corner of John’s vision, which felt like such a Bat thing to do, so John felt the placement was very purposeful. John wouldn’t complain, it let him watch Batman without taking his his eyes off where Danny was sitting with Robin, Kid Flash, and Wonder Girl. Danny was pretty see through, but he was slowly becoming more visible the longer he spent in the company of the other teen heroes.
“How long have you had him?” Batman asked.
John snorted. “That’s what you go with? Not how it works to fuck a ghost?”
Hal and Aquaman weren’t as quiet as they thought they were, but maybe that was on purpose. Maybe they had wanted John to hear. He just hoped the kids hadn’t. He might not have a clean mouth, but even he had limits.
“He doesn’t have to be your blood to be your son,” Batman said in that certain way of his.
It had John finally glancing over at Batman. It was a lot to admit and John hated to be on uneven grounds. “How long have you had yours?”
No one would ever believe him, but John could swear that Batman almost smiled.
“Nearly five years.”
John hummed and took another sip of the punch. “Only six months, not even. And he’s not my son. Kid deserves better than me as a da.”
“They always deserve better,” Batman said, his voice a low rumble that John swore he could feel in his battered bones. “We just have to try to be better.”
“Yeah, well,” John said with a bitter chuckle. “I’m not you, Bats, I don’t think I have better in me.”
“Yes you do, you’re here, after all,” Batman pointed out.
John swallowed and looked back the kid, his kid. Danny was almost solid now. His white hair floated as he threw back his head in laughter at something Robin had said.
“Yeah… yeah I am.”
---
AN: So. So. This has gotten away from me. I blame Moku. So much blame. I can't promise I'll continue it but there is... there is a good bit of plotting TO continue it. It would be after I get done with City Pigeons Bleed Green though, as that's my current family feels fic.
If it gets continued we have a John/Bruce tired dads with issues slow burn fuck buddies to lovers, Danny and Dick being friends (and family), canon divergence, Tim joins the Bat family early, Bats with magic (and the world should fear them), and Alfred's judgemental eyebrow.

This Phone Call Could've Been the Start to a Beautiful Partnership
Sleepy King AU Masterpost
-----
Clark couldn’t help fussing over the sleepy boy as Danny zombie shambled into the kitchenette. Between the dimmed lights and the scents of various teas brewing the small room felt cozy, almost warm and inviting despite the austere sterility. Once Danny was seated, Clark sat between the boy and Bruce, having already handed out the meagre breakfast the others had silently offered.
The boy was so thin, he knew Ma would long to cook him a good hearty meal.
He could see the magicians gearing up for a spell of some kind, and he was still on distraction duty. It was easy enough, food and drink made for a good distraction, throwing in a few basic questions, anything to keep him from noticing the growing tension in the room despite everyone’s best efforts to make it calming.
There were three gasps from the magicians as what was clearly a phone’s ringing came from Danny. It was odd, they were sure the boy had no pockets on his well loved star patterned pajama pants and plain white T-shirt. The phone rang again, Danny’s hand already slowly raising to his ear. Clark watched wide eyed as an earpiece appeared at Danny’s touch, a slim line of light that traveled down the attached arm to reveal a neon green mic at the end.
“... ‘llo?” Danny mumbled, still slowly chewing his mouthful of toasted pastry.
Clark whipped out his own communicator and quickly started a group chat, ready to transcribe the whole conversation. Batman was already furiously typing at a keyboard he popped out of his tablet, so Clark focussed on just what Danny and his caller were saying.
“Danny?” A feminine voice asked quietly. With the volume set that low the boy must have very sensitive hearing for a human, meta perhaps? “Where are you?”
“‘M lost,” Danny mumbled sleepily.
“What do you mean you’re lost? Lost where? Are you in the ‘Zone?”
“... no, not the ‘Zone. S’okay, Dad’s here.”
“Dad’s there with you?”
“Mmm…” Danny nibbled some more of his pastry.
There was a soft sigh from the other end. “I wish they’d remember to tell the school about sick days,” the feminine voice grumbled before speaking up. “Danny, let me talk to Dad.”
“‘Kay,” Danny slurred, then he plucked the earpiece from his ear and blindly held it out to Clark.
Clark took the earpiece with a strained grin. “I’m just… going to take this out into the hall, wouldn’t want to be rude to everyone else. You’ll be okay by yourself for a minute?”
Danny made an agreeing hum, nibbling more on his pastry.
Clark carefully stood up and kept an eye on Danny as he moved out into the hall. Once he was out of line of sight he zipped further down, to where Constantine and Raven were waiting around a corner. He stuck in the earpiece and kept his communicator in hand, continuing to transcribe the conversation for the rest of the team.
“Hello?” Clark asked, wondering if he should keep playing at being Danny’s father.
“Who is this?” The voice asked suspiciously.
Clark took a deep breath, but decided this was for the best. “Superman, who’s this?”
“Superman?!”
“To whom am I speaking?” Clark insisted, he’d really like to know, even if he already had a guess.
“Why is Superman answering my brother’s phone?! Why did he call you our Dad? What’s going on?!”
Ah, it is the sister. “Well Ms. Fenton, it seems there was a bit of confusion on that part. He mistook me for your father and we decided that to keep him calm it was best to let him continue to believe that.”
“What’s going on?!” Jasmine Fenton yelled, clearly distressed.
“I’m afraid it’s a bit of a delicate situation, but rest assured we have our best and brightest working on a solution,” Clark reassured.
“Danny was missing this morning, did the Justice League seriously kidnap my little brother from his bed in the middle of the night?!”
“What?” Was faintly heard in the background of the phone call, clearly Jasmine wasn’t alone.
“We did no such thing,” Clark said in his most soothing voice. He wasn’t sure how much he should tell her, the situation really was delicate, and on top of that despite her having turned 18 recently Jasmine was not Danny’s legal guardian or parent. “We rescued Danny last night, but unfortunately there were some side affects from his kidnappers we’re currently trying to reverse before we send the poor boy home.”
“Superman says Danny got kidnapped last night, got rescued, and currently has side affects they’re trying to fix?” Jasmine said uncertainly. There was a hushed conversation after that, one the comm didn’t pick up. Clark despaired over technology being fine tuned to such a limited range. There were a few snatches of almost words he could catch, but nothing worth noting down. Then finally Jasmine and whoever she was speaking with seemed to come to a conclusion, “Where is Danny?”
“He’s safe.”
“Where?” Jasmine insisted firmly.
“He’s at a Justice League facility, where he’s being treated.”
“Treated how? He was able to answer his phone, even if he sounded half asleep still. What’s wrong with him? What are the side affects? Why weren’t our parents called?”
“I’m afraid I’m not at liberty to tell you any of that,” Clark winced as he said that. It felt like such a cop out.
“Why weren’t our parents informed?” Jasmine asked again, voice hard as steel.
“As I said, the situation is very delicate.”
“But why weren’t our parents informed.”
“It’s a time sensitive situation, we’re working to solve it as quickly as possible.”
“This is ridiculous, give the phone back to Danny.”
Clark winced again, “I’m sorry, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
“What?!”
“As I said, the situation is very delicate, we can’t afford to stress Danny out until the affects have been removed.”
“And what even are these affects you keep speaking of?!”
Clark hesitated, looking down to the chat he’d been transcribing the conversation into, then over to Constantine and Raven, hoping desperately for some advice. All he got was a sloppy shrug. What did he tell her? What would they tell her family if they weren’t able to remove Pariah without killing Danny? “It’s… magical. In nature.”
“Forget it, you’re clearly no help.” The line went silent, the call ended.
Constantine held his hand out, Clark removed the earpiece and handed it over. “What is it?” He asked tiredly.
“According to Z it was a clever bit of necromancy she’d never seen before.”
“Necromancy?” Clark asked in confusion, couldn’t that only raise the dead? He’d never heard of necromancy doing anything else.
Constantine ignored him, already huddled over the earpiece with Raven as both muttered spells over the tiny thing.
Clark’s communicator beeped, it was a message from Bruce. “The sister goes by Jazz.” Right, he needed to know that if he was going to continue pretending to be Danny’s father.
He sighed, but plastered on a smile as he stepped back into the kitchenette. “Jazz was just checking in on us, I told her we’ll see her at dinner tonight.”
Danny just nodded his head and made a humming sound of agreement. Hopefully that’ll buy them a bit more sleepy time before the tyrant Ghost King woke up.

steph "dad"
Okay, an idea came up. And for some context, here's my explanatory text: Some time ago, I saw an AU where Dani/Elli was Jason's "mother," the one who died of an overdose, if I remember correctly (sorry, I'm bad with names unless I use them a lot). Idea -> So, recently, I started wondering if Danny was Steph's mom's ex, or even Steph's biological father, but due to several ghosts and Team Phantom, they managed to seal that information, so no one will ever know. This is mainly as a protective measure for the two of them, due to Danny's enemies, whether magical, scientific, supernatural, or mortal. But I imagine, in an end-of-reality-type emergency situation, Constantin decides to swear at the hornet's nest of protections Steph has in place to see if they get lucky, and whatever happens because of that, he decides to save reality's ass, including them. which happens but now the entire bat clan has many questions, few answers and Constantin has magical handcuffs that prevent him from using magic so he won't be able to escape said interrogation.

You know what mixture of AUs i havent seen here yet? Danny x Bruce with de-aged clones!
Bruce and danny are near the same age and meet pretty early in batman's career, maybe even before dick was adopted. Danny is a single dad of infant/toddler twins ellie and dante. (To make them young and at the same age, i imagine they were rescued after both taking serious damage and retreated to their cores, and remerged as newborns about the same time, but i also want to leave this open for others to flesh out.) Timeline-wise, that would probably make them somewhere around jason or tim's age.
So now we have an au where the bat kids are collected into a stable home where bruce and danny are also raising ellie and dante. Bruce is much closer to WFA characterization right from the get-go because danny would whip him into shape.
Tim probably gets adopted because one of the phantoms sniff him out, either living alone in the neighboring mansion, or following the bats and ghosts on patrol.
Talia either stole bruce's (and/or danny's) dna or drugged bruce (it didnt work on danny) to create damian. If bruce was drugged, danny is on a warpath and might even find and rescue damian at a much younger age.
Jason's timeline is the most difficult to predict, and i will forever simp halfa jason, so he's gotta die no matter what changes. I dont think that's terribly difficult because the joker specifically targeted him to lure him out (assuming i understand canon correctly - also this is definitely true in the UtRH animated movie canon). If jason isnt interested in finding his biomom in this au, joker will just find a different bait. Would be cool if danny is able to track down jason's ghost during the six-month down time and brings him home, and a potential point of angst if he revives without his memories as a ghost (and is lost for a while before danny tracks him down again.)
(Danny probably doesn't have the no-killing rule like bruce, so he'd have no qualms killing the joker and detaining/destroying his ghost. If not danny, then jazz would. Bruce conveniently looks the other way.)
Batman mythology in this universe is inexorably linked to phantom mythology. They both help each other out with vigilante stuff. Danny's team (sam/tucker/val/jazz) visit often and are considered aunts/uncle to the batkids. Batfam is highly liminal because they are part of danny's fraid. They might even develop liminal powers, if that's your kind of headcanon.
Danny may or may not be ghost king, but i like the idea that he's the crown prince and wont be coronated for several more decades. He's got time and all the resources that position affords him. Danny still gets hounded by the observants, but the batkids have made a game of pranking the annoying eyeballs.
Danny is a founding member of the justice league and of jld (the rest of his team might be as well). Batman is much more knowledgeable of the supernatural because of danny. I like the idea of constantine being more terrified of phantom than batman. He still gets called on for advice because he's the demonology and magic expert, while danny specializes more in ghosts and Realms technology.
Ellie and dante are not allowed to join the vigilante scene until they turn 12 (they managed to argue it down from 14), but because of their powers (and potentially retaining memories and experience) there are numerous occasions before then that they functioned as a sort of vigilante retrevial unit - zooming out and retrieving anyone who was injured or otherwise hit their emergency beacon and bringing them straight back to the cave. They might have even done this once or twice during justice league emergencies.
I'll leave their vigilante identities open to discussion, but im partial toward a really old drawing i remember seeing here on tumblr, someone designed a pink batsuit for ellie with exaggerated bat ears, and a sort of glider cloak that attached to her belt or her wrists to disguise her flight as gliding. (If someone knows the post im talking about, please leave a link so the artist can be credited!)
As for danny's old team...
Jazz works at arkham, helping to reform the place and causing many of batman's rogues to reform a bit earlier. She is the expert called in by the justice league to formulate ways to both detain and to help various rogues globally. She especially likes the flash because of the friendly attitude he has towards his own rogues.
Sam is a humanitarian. If she has plant powers, she's using them to establish food stability in poorer nations, helping the people there become more self-sustaining, as well as providing relief for disaster-stricken areas whose farms need to be completely rebuilt and regrown. Jazz introduces her to poison ivy, and the two end up joined at the hip, helping to reform ivy much earlier. (Would it be weird to make this au have sam x ivy and jazz x harley?)
Valerie probably stays in Amity Park to be its designated hero since danny moved out. If the fentons are good, she works alongside them as the fentons also develop tech for the justice league. If they arent, im gonna assume theyre the reason dante and ellie got de-aged, danny absconded with their cores to keep them safe, and the rest of team phantom descended on the fenton parents like hungry wolves. When the dust settled, valerie and her dad were left in charge of protecting amity and with ownership of fentonworks.
Tucker is a freelance hacker slash tech expert, and will kit out any vigilante's tech and security free of charge. His unique blend of magitech is very difficult to counter, making it all-the-more sought after. He probably helped set oracle up and maybe even trained/mentored barb to some extent.
There are lots of other potential changes, but ill stop here.

Dick Grayson V Gotham
Chapter 1 - AO3 - Constantine Jr. AU
There were a few minutes every morning, in the dark before dawn when his alarm hadn’t yet rung, where Dick Grayson felt most at peace. Despite the ache in his body the night out as Nightwing, he felt refreshed and content to just rest his eyes until his phone rang and it was time to get ready for the day.
Unfortunately, peace was never meant to last.
With a loud crash that definitely woke the neighbors, a little body kicked his door in. A switch was flipped and blinding light filled the room. Dick squinted in the general direction of the intruder. “Get up already!” Danny, his ward, snapped, rushing forward to rip the blankets off his bed. Dick let him. “There’s a case ready for us at the precinct!”
Dick checked his phone. No missed calls, and Danny didn’t have a phone yet. “Is this another psychic thing?” he asked.
Danny rolled his eyes. “If I say yes, will you get your ass out of bed already?”
“Language,” he chided absentmindedly, but still got out of bed. Danny glared up at him, still not satisfied, and dragged him to the bathroom with a surprising amount of strength for an 8-year-old. “Huh! You’re really in a hurry today.”
“No, you’re just super slow!”
Dick pulled back against Danny, slowing their progress considerably. “Oh, it’s the age!” Dick bemoaned, draping himself dramatically against the wall. “Now that I have a kid of my own to look after, the years have started to take their toll—Ow!”
Danny glared up at him like he hadn’t just kicked Dick in the shin. Brat. “Be dramatic in your own time! We have a case, Dick, we need to go!”
“Alright, alright, I’m going!” Dick complied and got in the bathroom, saying just before he closed the door, “Make sure you’re dressed in clothes you can afford to lose! I don’t want you to get blood on your favorite jeans again!” Danny shouted back his agreement and finally, Dick was alone.
As Dick washed his face and did his business, he contemplated how he got there. Honestly, he didn’t get what Bruce was always complaining about; this guardianship thing was going great! It was three weeks since he’d wrangled Danny home, but he’d been preparing for this for months, ever since he learned that the little brat trying to solve murders was homeless. It took months of classes, meetings with CPS, and interviews with friends and family, but Dick was now the proud foster parent of Danny Smith!
Fortunately, Dick had managed to convince Bruce that the foster license was precautionary, like if he needed to protect a minor. Which was what he was doing! So not technically a lie!
Although, Bruce had his hands full already. Some new crime lord had taken up the Joker’s old alias and it was driving the old man up the wall. Bruce had even asked Dick for help on the case last night! He’d said no, of course; he wasn’t just going to abandon Danny in Bludhaven for days while they hunted down Red Hood, and he wasn’t going to spring Danny on Bruce, nor Bruce on Danny. Danny was a flight risk and had expressed disdain for millionaires in the past, and Bruce was… worse than he used to be. Tim had managed to resurrect some of the dad Bruce used to be, but ever since Jason…
Well, it was good that they wouldn’t be seeing each other any time soon. Maybe by then Tim will have convinced Bruce to go to therapy!
Coming out of the bathroom, Dick started at Danny, dressed in jeans and a Digimon t-shirt, standing on the counter and getting Dick’s lunch bag off the shelf. He cocked an eyebrow. “What are you doing?”
“Packing breakfast to-go!” Danny said, jumping off the counter. Dick’s heart skipped a beat and he lunged forward, but Danny landed before Dick could reach him. He glared at Dick. “What are you doing?”
“Nothing.” He straightened up, playing it cool. He observed what Danny had laid out for breakfast as he started the coffee machine. A banana, two yogurts, and a handful of granola just poured out onto the table. “You know, you absorb more nutrients when you sit down and actually enjoy your food. And we don’t need lunch to-go. Remember, we talked about this? We have to wait for someone to report the crime first.”
“How do you know no one hasn’t yet?” Danny challenged.
“Have they?”
“...No. We could report the crime though,” Danny grumbled, but opened a yogurt cup.
They really couldn’t. If they reported the crime, they’d still have to wait for other officers and CSI before investigating, and that’s even if they were given the case! But more importantly… Dick was the only officer in the department who believed Danny could see ghosts.
Sure, Commissioner Gonzalez believed Danny, but that was just one woman. As much as he appreciated the Commissioner’s work helping get Danny off the streets and processing the paperwork to ensure the boy got recognition as an official BPD consultant… well, Dick knew she had ties to the gangs in town, he just couldn’t prove it. Just because she liked him and Danny doesn’t make her good.
The fact that she promoted him to detective was evidence enough. Dick was an amazing detective—like everyone trained by Batman—but normally you’d need a certain number of years and successful cases for that level of promotion, both of which Dick didn’t have. Hell, he’d only been working as a cop for two years! But Danny was only willing to work with Dick… so Dick became the youngest detective in the city.
The coffee machine sang a little robotic song and Dick placed a Nightwing mug under the spout just in time to catch the stream. As Danny finished his breakfast, Dick shooed him off to go brush his teeth and turned on the TV. He still had thirty minutes before they had to leave for work—
“—taking after his father!” Jack Rider’s voice rang through the apartment. Dick frowned; why was this trash on? “Although I have to say, I don’t think anyone ever expected Richard Grayson to adopt a child of his own!”
Dick froze. What? No, he’d worked so hard to ensure that no one would find out—
A picture flashed on screen of Dick and Danny. Dick recognized it immediately; he’d taken Danny out to eat to celebrate Danny officially becoming his foster child. But that was weeks ago! They’d been sitting on the story for that long?
They didn’t even bother to blur Danny’s face.
“Now, Jack,” the co-host chided, “Let’s not get too hasty. Our source at Bludhaven PD—who will be unnamed to protect their privacy—said it was only a foster, not an adoption.”
Jack waved her concern away. “Yes, a foster. For now. Don’t you remember how long Richard was Brucie’s ward? Sure, the kid might only be a foster for now, but with this family, adoption is always on the table!”
Turning away from the TV, Dick checked their security cameras on his phone. When he’d first moved in, Babs had hacked into all the cameras in the apartment, piggy-backing off their feeds. There, outside the building’s main entrance, were multiple reporters. Some had even gotten into the building, although their aimless wandering told him that their apartment number hadn’t been leaked yet.
“Still, another street kid in the family,” Jack continued to muse. “That’s two now for the Waynes, right? Are they going to take off with an entire orphanage next?”
“Dick?”
He locked eyes with Danny, who gave the TV a worried look. But Danny didn’t get worried; he was a cocky, grumpy brat who’d given Dick a heart attack when he dared a gang member to shoot him in the face. But a news story scared him?
Smart kid. Dick was feeling scared too. So, he made the executive decision.
Dick knelt down to Danny’s height, gently grasping his shoulders. “Okay. Here’s what we’re going to do. I’m going to call out of work—”
“But Mrs. Bennett’s murder!” came the immediate protest.
Dick took note of the name, but held up a hand to stop him. “I know, I know. But it’s not safe for us to go to the precinct right now.” Someone at BPD had told the reporters about them. One of his colleagues, pissed that he’d gotten his promotion unfairly? Someone who hated that a little kid solved murders better than them? Or anyone looking to make a quick buck? The possibilities were endless.
He continued, “Commissioner Gonzalez will understand and help us consult with the case from online, okay? We’ll get sent pictures of the crime scene and you can talk to Mrs. Bennett and we’ll consult from Gotham just to be safe.” He had some PTO he could use, right? If not… Gonzalez could just fire him. He’d already known his co-workers were corrupt assholes, but to willingly put a child in danger was a step too far. If Gonzalez wanted to keep Dick—and therefore, Danny—she’d better clean house.
Danny made a face. “Why Gotham?”
“That’s where my family lives! While we wait for the story to die down, I’ll introduce you to my grandfather, Alfred, and my brother Tim, and my friend, Barbra! I’ll show you around to all the fun spots, it’ll be fun! So go get packed, buddy.”
Hesitating in the doorway, Danny said, “They won’t listen to me. The other officers aren’t like you.”
“They will listen to you. I’ll make them,” Dick promised. He’d gathered enough blackmail on his fellow detectives to force the issue, if needs be. He ruffled Danny’s hair. “Don’t worry, Danny. It’ll just be for a week or two and then everything will be back to normal. I promise.”
Danny glared at him, batting his hand away. “I’ll keep you to that promise, old man.”
As Danny retreated to his room—Dick’s former workout room—to pack, Dick went to his own, closing and locking the door behind him. The call to Gonzalez went about as well as he was expecting: first her anger at him taking time off, then his anger about being sold out to the media, then Gonzalez swearing as she found the news online, until finally agreement.
As they talked, Dick methodically packed away his Nightwing gear. After last night, where a slime meta had unceremoniously caked his suit in gunk that would not come out, he had two functioning suits: his back-up and his original that he kept for sentimental value. He packed all three, along with his gear. Maybe Alfred would be able to get the gunk out? But he couldn’t leave his things here. Their location was already compromised. If reporters decided the risk was worth it, they could break into his apartment and turn the whole place upside down looking for a story.
So, Dick had to take the story with him.
With all his gear packed, there was little room for personal belongings, so he did the best he could and only took the important things. His room at the manor still had a few changes of clothes. Fortunately Danny wasn’t a nosy kid, otherwise he’d never be able to get away with carrying his Nightwing gear in a normal duffel bag like this.
Now, the hard part.
The phone rang three times before it was picked up. “Master Richard.” Alfred’s icy tone made him wince. Oh, he already knew. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”
“Hey, Alfie…” Dick rubbed the back of his neck. “I just wanted to say that I decided I can help Bruce on that Red Hood case after all?”
“I see.” No matter how angry Alfred was, he was frighteningly polite. “And shall I prepare a second bedroom for your ward?”
Dick winced. “That would be great, Alfred. Thank you.”
“Then I will see you soon. And please inform the young master that I look forward to meeting him when you both arrive.”
“I’ll tell him. He’s been looking forward to meeting you; I’ve been talking up your cooking for months now.”
“Months?” Oh no. “How kind of you, Master Grayson.” It got worse. Alfred was pissed now. Why did he have to say months? It wasn’t like Dick had intentionally hidden Danny from his family; he was just hiding him from Bruce! He wanted some privacy and to figure things out himself! But now Alfie was mad and suddenly that privacy didn’t seem so important anymore. “Shall I assume you’ll be arriving soon then?”
“In around an hour.” Leaving his room, he checked on Danny. He was trying to back everything he owned into the suitcase Dick had bought him. “Maybe a little longer? I’ll call when we’re ten minutes away.”
“Then I will see you soon, Master Grayson.”
