Danny has been trying to just live on the Gotham streets peacefully for a good year and three quarters, and all that he's gotten is that people keep trying to say he's a prophet for Apollo.
Danny is not Apollos prophet. He's the fucking Ghost King and Apollo wishes that he was Danny.
Sure, he doesn't want to start beef with the God's of this dimension, but it's not his fault that when he complained to Clockwork that he was bored after a few thousand millenia of doing his King Shit Clockwork decided to send Danny on a vacation. He just wanted to take a few weeks, but apparently, Clockwork said that Danny needed to spend an entire human lifetime here.
He is even as small as a 10 year old! His body, thankfully, is only shrunken down instead of him being an actual 10 year old as he probably would have left this dimension within the first four years to fight Clockwork for making him go through puberty again, but apparently his Dear Old Dad knew that he would, so he cut that off at the pass.
Anyways, he's now the size of a 10 year old, living on the streets and is ready to fuck up the next person who dares to attempt to kidnap him for being a kid with white hair and green eyes on the streets. Since this dimension has so many heroes and the like, they also have many villains, and this city is plagued by them so much that other people on this planet have this place listed as a "do not fly zone".
Danny thinks this place is fine, but that might mainly have to do with how he's able to see the spirits and shades that congregate to a villain attack that would happen soon.
And since he can see that, he can also avoid them.
People have started to notice... which is why through some type of social media called tumblr, they've decided that Danny is some sort of prophet. And for Apollo, no less! No offense to Apollo, but Danny is quite literally the God Above God's. He has mediated their quarrels more than he has slept in the past several thousand years! Plus! He's very clearly star or moon coded, than he is sun coded!
Anyways, now he gets to deal with people staring at him when he's just wandering around, as if he's going to look them in the eye and tell them that the Clown Bitch is gonna show up in a few minutes! As if he hasn't already passed judgement on that fucker and disembowled him a week ago!
As Danny is grumbling to himself while he walks down 4th Avenue, he pauses, seeing a large congregation of shades and spirits in the middle of the street and glares at the knowledge that he's gonna go viral again, and states clearly, and loudly, to those watching and videoing " The Vibes Are Rancid." Before turning and walking in the opposite direction.
He can hear the stampede rushing away from that street before he sees people pushing past him. They're all carefully running past him, but never harming him. They all know that Danny is worth the care in the self-interest of not getting themselves killed at some point
At least he can satisfy his protection obsession by warning people about the impending attack...
Now, if only the bats and birds of the city would leave him alone and stop trying to grab him, he'd have a much more peaceful existence. And since it's already dark out, he's aware that at least one of the birds are tailing him.
He can sense one that's on the rooftop above him watching him and probably already calling the rest of their clan for backup where the attack is predicted to happen. He thinks it's one of the red ones. The purple one would have already tried to talk to him, and The Big Bat himself would have tried to get him to agree to an adoption already. The ghostly silent girl would have waved to him, and the eldest boy would have offered him some food by now.
That leaves the one in the stupid hat, the one who never stops asking him questions, and the one with a sword. The red question one would have probably come to ask him what's going on by now, unless it has to do with how many people are still around, the one in the stupid hat tends to watch from a rooftop, ready to defend him but not really wanting to interact, and the sword one would rather be on the street with him, just cause they do tend to talk more often after Danny had asked once about how to take care of a hurt cat.
Danny didn't anticipate becoming friends with Robin, but he does find the 23 year old interesting. Robin and him have had a few fun interactions, and he seems to enjoy talking to Danny like he is a person and not just a child.
He does know who all the bats and birds are, due to knowing what their souls say their names are. However, he also knows that he probably shouldn't say their names, both from his time being a hero, and from hearing that no one knows who they are.
Once all the people rushing away have cleared out, he feels more than hears his friend drop down beside him. "Hello, Red Robin. Have you come to ask me some questions? Or should I assume you're here to evacuate me?" Danny smirks.
"Bud, you already know the answer to that. I still have 5 questions left for this week, per our agreement." RR chuckles. "And remember, if I get who you are right by the end of this week with any questions left, you let either me or Robin adopt you. Are you royalty?"
Danny grins, his face nearly splitting in half, his lips literally spreading ear to ear. "Yes, I am."
"Are you from this dimension?" RR asks, his grin growing wider as well. Danny can tell that RR finally figured out who he is, he just wants to run down the questions a little more.
"No." Danny is starting to feel more at ease from this game seemingly coming to an end. He's been giving this bird the run around for a year and a half. He's sure that they're both relieved for it to be coming to a close.
"Are you actually older than this worlds birth?"
Danny pauses at this question, unsure of how long hes been around. "I do not remember how long its been since your worlds existed, but I do know that our dimensions times aren't 1:1 and I don't exactly know how old I am. I've been ruling for several thousand millenia if that counts as an answer."
RR chuckles and nods, his face showing his complete confidence of who he thinks Danny is. "Are you The Ghost King Of The Infinite Realms?"
A distant sound of ice shattering echoes under Danny's title, and Danny cackles. "Yes, I am. That was a fun game, little bird. Should I choose who will adopt me?"
RR grins, pure satisfaction radiating from his every move. "Robin and I both decided that Robin should adopt you. Of course, since you're older than anyone on earth, you won't actually be his child on anything except paper, but you will be able to have an actual place to sleep and the like. Shall I call Robin to let him know the good news, your majesty?" RR asks teasingly.
"Hmmm, no. Don't tell him anything, I'll just go to his apartment to wait for him. I'm sure him and the rest of the clan are waiting for you to get back and help with the attack as well. Better not keep them waiting, Uncle." He grins before vanishing in front of Red Robin.
Ghosts Tell Me
~
Ghosts gather near the place where something bad is going to happen,
Danny with his ghost sense tends to notice before anyone else and tends to react outwardly before the danger even happens, gaining a reputation of seeing the future,
Ghosts also tell Danny things, causing Danny to know more about situations and the people around him, it comes of as suspicious.
~
Danny pulling away a snack from his coworker: "Careful your allergic to these ingredients!"
Coworker: "How the hell...I've never mentioned that to anyone."
~
Danny on a phone call with his friends while doing his nightly walks in Gotham: "Yeah so apparently the second Robin who is now Red Hood has very personal beef with the clown here cuz he got killed by him after being sold out by his bio mom, which really sucks for the poor guy."
Oracle who has been keeping an Eye on Danny cuz he's very suspicious from an outsiders pov: "Hey B, I think we have a problem."
~
Danny notices that the ghost in Gotham tends to gather where something bad is going to happen, the more they are the worse the situation will be: *glowing smoke leaves from his mouth* "Yikes! Very bad vibes here, nope!"
Gothamites who at this point recognize him and know the drill and quickly pack up their things to leave:

Just an Idea
