Batfam headcanon

So, I've seen posts of Bruce forgetting his kids are adopted, but what if the batkids forget they're adopted?

Jason and Tim: *fighting*

Jason: You're adopted!

Tim: *gasps* >:0

Tim: So are you!

Jason:

Tim:

Jason: Damn, you're right.

Dick tries making fun of Jason before Jay brings up that one time they were seeing pictures of toddler Bruce with his baby curls and Dick said "Oh, so that's where I got mine from."

Technus made a VR headset! It's being sold to ghosts, as a ghost-only product, and Danny is very excited.

It's powered by the users ecto, and has been peer reviewed by not just Point Dexter, but also Walker and Ember and the Box Ghost. It's not a trap!

It's just Technus raking in payment in the form of old and new tech from across all dimensions for his lair in return for one of the headsets!

Danny makes sure the anti-ghost system in the house is off, that his door is locked, and slips on the VR headset in preparation for something phenominal. So far, there's only one game, but it's very popular among ghosts.

[Welcome, User P H A N T O M. Please select a sigil to determine your starting point.]

Danny selects the picture of...hmm. What to choose, what to choose.

He chooses...the lightning bolt.

Danny blinks and he's staring up at a strange woman.

Danny very quickly finds out that while this game is super popular with ghosts, for someone like Danny, who's half living? Kind of boring.

Because it's a life simulator.

It's like if a bunch of orcs and wizards played DnD, but the game was about working in an office.

In this particular simulation, he's the son of a single mother, who he apparently takes after; black hair, blue eyes. When he grows up he isn't gonna look any different from how he does IRL.

Sooo...no character customization. Damn.

He gets named Daniel, because obviously?

His life is painfully mundane; he has no powers, he's just an average human. Which is a pity, because in this world/server there's other heroes with super powers, and he would have loved to have been able to join in on their shenanigans.

He wakes up. He plays. He eats. He goes to sleep.

Then he gets old enough to go to school, which. Ugh. Not again.

New routine. wake up, school, go home, snacks, homework, sleep.

He makes a few friends, but not really. It's hard to be friends with NPCs, after all.

Then he hits ten, and uh.

He has a power?

Super speed. He has super speed.

His mother breaks down crying when she sees him disappear and reappear on the other side of the room.

He's the second Flash's son, who said man has no idea exists.

After that is a whirlwind of trying to pretend he doesn't have powers, slipping up, getting involved in a fight, outing himself, getting him and his mom absorbed into the Flash family by osmosis, and after about five more years, he's essentially forgotten that this is a VR game.

Then his dad is about to take a hit, and Danny dives in front, tanking it.

Danny dies in his father's arms, only for the oncoming peace of death to be interrupted with

[GAME OVER. ONE TIME USAGE COMPLETE.]

Danny bolts upright, hands on his chest, panting.

Wait, game over? Right, right, the VR headset.

No, wait...one time usage?! What a rip off!

Danny hides his grief at losing his NPC family behind the rage of the one time usage, and pretends the tears leaking out of his eyes are from fury.

~~~~~~

Wally clutches the broken body of his son, trying so, so hard not to snap.

He'd only had Danny for five years.

Five fucking years. He'd missed most of Danny's life, and...and because of one stupid fucking mistake, because he hadn't been good enough...

Wally feels his body begin to distort, the Speedforce responding to his rage with an otherworldly indifference to what rules of reality his body is supposed to obey.

Danny has to be alive, in at least one reality.

Wally is going to find him, consequences be damned.

TLDR; Technus makes a one time use headset for ghosts to get to live another life, and neglects to mention that it's actually temporarily removing their consciousness and placing it into people who otherwise wouldn't be alive.

Danny thinks it was just a game.

To his grieving Speedster father he gained in that reality, however, it very much was not a game, and the man is currently on his way to Danny's home reality after going on a grief bender that would make Batman blush.

Deadman goes to possess a random kid to warn Batman of some...very concerning information he's come across regarding the Joker. Except that the kid is apparently already possessed, and the ghost possessing the kid is much, much stronger than Deadman.

In fact, as Deadman finds himself trapped in the kid, with the coils of another spirit tightening their grip on him, he realizes something worse.

This is a predator.

Ghosts come in tiers, after all. Deadman, which strong for his tier, still isn't top tier.

Top tier ghosts have their own dimension, removed from any afterlife, and routinely eat lower tier ghosts like him.

He's just wondered into the jaws of what is essentially a super predator.

But what the hell is it doing in a random teenager on a school trip?

~~~~~~

Danny is not comfortable; a random blob ghost, or something just above that level, has tried to possess him, and it's taking every ounce of Danny's self control to not...slam down his jaws on the poor little guy, so to speak.

So far, he's holding onto it so that it won't try to possess one of his classmates and make them do something stupid, but it's so tempting to just take a little nibble.

Tim, after a long patrol, collapses onto the couch and ends up falling mostly on Dick

Jason, in a lightly mocking tone Awww, look at the sleepy baby

Dick humms and shifts, trying to get more comfortable with the extra weight

Jason grins, sees the opportunity to annoy Dick, and leans on Tim to put more pressure on Dick, stretching widely, I’m so tiiiired

Dick too tried to realize Jason is being a brat, starts patting Jason’s hair Me too man, me too

Jason who is also exhausted from patrol feels his eyelids start to droop, begins to doze on Tim unwittingly

Tim is completely unaware

Tim later wakes up trapped not only between Dick and Jason but all their other siblings have joined the pile in some way

Tim glances sideways and sees Bruce sitting in a chair

Bruce, not looking up, Alfred has already sent the photos to Barbara

Tim huffs then goes back to sleep, knowing attempting escape is futile

Danny held back his laughter as he sprinted away. The note he left in the batmobile is going to rile up Gothams furries if what his boyfriend said was right.

All he wrote was, "I'm dating your clone, and there's nothing you can do about it." No signature, no fingerprints, heck, he didn't even reveal who's clone it was. Now he and his boyfriend are going to follow along with invisibility and popcorn to watch their heads explode.

No Fly Zone

DPxDC #29

Conner has taken to flying around high above the world, just drifting where the winds take him. He uses this time to just live in the moment and take in the natural beauty of the world.

As he's floating, he hears the distinct sound of music and screaming fans. He slowly pays more attention to the music, a strong female voice is belting out lyrics to a song that resonates with him.

Pinpointing the location the sound is coming from to a small town a few clicks west of where he is. He immediately moves to watch and listen in person. He has to know who is playing and if all their songs are as good as this current one.

The concert is taking place in a park with a completely open area to stand and listen. The concert is packed with teens and young adults. A typical concert, in Conner's opinion. He decides to fly further to the back of the crowd to watch. Conner doesn't really pay attention to the crowd and is focused on the band and the singer. Completely missing several eyebrow-raising things.

"Hey, flying guy! You can't watch from there please move to the designated area for flyers," A man with gravity-defying white hair and piercing green eyes flying near him says while gesturing to an area more to the left of the stage, where several people were flying and enjoying the concert. Most are glowing faintly, and some of them, concernedly, are semi-transparent. "Or you can keep on moving."

"Ah, sorry I was flying around, then heard this music and had to see who it is… So, umm, who is playing? I really love what I've heard so far." The two of them move away from the crowd.

"She's Ember McClain, the best musician from the Realms. As long as you're not here to start anything, you're good."

"Why are you the security here?" Conner purposely tilted his sunglasses, looking him up and down. Thinking to himself that this scrawny twink can't pack that much of a punch.

"Yes, I am. Even before that comment, I could tell you aren't from here if you don't recognize me." the cute twink laughs a little, "I'm Phantom! Manager of this whole thing and security. Making sure Ember sticks to the rules and making sure everyone else is too. This time no one tries to mind-control anyone."

Concerning comments shelved for later. "It seems I'm also unknown if I have to introduce myself. But for a cutie like you, I'll give you anything." Wink, "I'm Superboy, call me Kon. Can I ask more about you? Like, if you have a number I can have?"

Phantom blushes "Danny…..I don't just give my information or number out to some rando. That is lesson one of being a hero. As I'm sure you "Superboy" know this."

"Okay then, tell me more about this band, and you can tell me more about yourself at dinner after."

Conner reappears at the Young Justice base several hours after he normally would, with several bags full of Ember merch. Signed copies of the albums, posters, shirts, and even a water bottle. He gives a shirt to every YJ member. His phone is full of selfies and videos from the concert and after, as well as the number of a very cute boy, with a date set for Friday night.

the moment im able, Danny and Bruce are going to be annoying each other On Purpose SO much in WTNS. I have an arsenal of non-bat related nicknames for Bruce on standby (that is steadily collecting more as i come across them) and ready for my disposal

Danny: Batman. Batman. Bruce: oh we’re going full name now. Danny: Batman. Bruce: hm. Danny: lean down for me Bruce, doing just that indulgently: hm? Danny, grabbing him by the shirt collar: dont start throwing stones in glass houses, batboy [Bruce was teasing him about wearing flannels]

+

Danny: mind you, i have unmitigated access to your closet Bruce: ah. i see. of course

+

Danny: sir, you are dressed as a bat, choose your next words carefully Bruce: 🤨 Danny: trust me i have nothing but respect for your commitment to the bit, but Danny: you are still dressed as a bat Danny: and i am not above taking potshots

+

Danny makes a point to thwap Bruce on the ankles with his cane when he's being annoying/a dumbass/because it's funny. Sometimes it lands, sometimes Bruce hops out of the way before that. Bruce hopping away leads to Danny continuing to try and thwap him until he succeeds

Playfighting is also a thing. And by playfighting i mean Danny is trying to bop Bruce, and Bruce is blocking him via batting his hands away. Danny will not stop until he's successfully poked Bruce in the ribs

+

bruce:…what are you doing danny, faux-punching bruce in the side. and by that i mean he is poking him the side/arm with his fists and quietly making "pow-pow-pow" noises. it doesnt even do any damage he's pr much just tapping him: danny, still faux-hitting him: bothering you danny, pausing: is it working bruce, trying not to smile:…no danny: damn danny: [goes back to faux-hitting him]

+

Danny: [playfully putting his hands up defensively] Bruce: thats not how you do that Danny: you think im going for accuracy? [one-sided slap fight ensues]

ON MY BIRTHDAY?!!??

Maddie: “Jack, dear… It’s getting awfully late. Is there something you might have forgotten today? Something significant, having to do with today’s date of May 9th?”

Happy anniversary to Jack & Madeline Fenton!

[angyblobghost]

Clark: Can you please just hold still? Do you want to bleed all over the bathroom?

Bruce: Are you sure you know what you’re doing?

Clark: Trust me, I’ve seen Alfred bandage you enough times to know how to do it with my eyes closed. Seriously Bruce, I can’t believe you! Were you really going to silently sit through the meeting while you’re bleeding out from your ripped stitches?

Bruce: Ugh, spare me the lecture and just help me. We need to get back to the meeting soon. I don’t need to give your boss any more reason to give me dirty looks across the room.

Clark: That’s just Perry’s default expression.

The door to the bathroom opens and someone steps in. Bruce immediately yanks Clark in close to block his injuries from view. Clark slams his hands on either side of him with a grunt, careful not to crush him.

Jimmy: Clark? [stares at the half-dressed Bruce underneath him] Mr Wayne??

Clark: J-Jimmy!

Bruce: [angrily whispering to Clark] You forgot to lock the door didn’t you? Get rid of him. Now.

Clark: Jimmy, this is not what it looks like! Me and Mr Wayne uhh… We’re just uhh…

Bruce: [Moans when Clark accidentally brushes against his wound]

Jimmy: Umm…

Clark: [whispering] Sorry!

Bruce: Hi Jimmy~ Care to join the fun?

Jimmy: N-No! Sorry to interrupt you guys! I-I mean, I don’t think I need to use the bathroom after all. See you around, bye! [flees the bathroom]

[angyblobghost]

There's an identity broker that's appeared in the shadier parts of Gotham. Supposedly, if someone goes to him, they're guaranteed a new start in life, and no one is able to find them afterwards.

Jason has concerns.

He has concerns because a lot of good people, down on their luck, have gone to this guy, and disappeared off the face of the planet.

He's done recon, he knows this dude isn't killing them, he's watched them walk out of his shop and into a waiting car, and trailed that car to a farm on the outskirts of Gotham.

But when he tries to talk to the people, they're 100% committed to the bit of "new life", claiming they have no idea who he is.

Maybe they don't.

Jason decides to go undercover and pay the guy a visit.

~~~~~~

Jason Nightingale had always loved reading, so much so that when he hit 18 he found himself at a crossroads in life; English major, or professional athlete.

He chose English major, but always kept up the workout routine, perhaps getting into a few accidents and gaining a few scars along the way.

Doing his undergrad in the bad side of town probably wasn't the best idea, but he had a few gunshot scars to show off for it, and it was a story to tell his dates.

Jason is also currently just starting as a Teaching Assistant for one Mr. Lancer at Casper High School in Amity Park, and he is very excited.

Well, right up until he gets home one day and fucking Nightwing of all heroes is waiting for him, asking how long he intends to be undercover.

Undercover?

Him?

"You've got the wrong guy, Nightwing; I'm literally just a Teaching Assistant."

~~~~~~

The Bats have been looking for Jason.

The last anyone heard, he'd gone undercover to investigate an identity broker who promised people a "new life", one that would never be intruded on by their past enemies.

They finally found him after four months, tucked away in Amity Park.

But he doesn't remember them. He's completely convinced that he left Gotham after his mom died, that he's got an MA in English, and that he's a Teaching Assistant.

The memory alteration appears to be...permanent.

The paper trail only helps cement those memories for Jason, and that paper trail is flawless to anyone not a Bat.

They have to find the identity broker. They have to find a way to reverse this.

~~~~~~

Dan has decided to use his second chance at life to do good.

Not saving kittens good, but like. Good for the little people. People who are in shit creek and need a new start at life, just like him.

He partners with Ghostwriter, Spectra (that took work but he's got blackmail on her so she's cooperating), and various lesser ghosts already in Gotham.

He deals with the customers on the front end, puts them to sleep (sometimes they freak out and fight at the last second, but Dan's strong enough to knock them out; it's just last second jitters, they'd thank him if they remembered literally any of it), and then works with the ghosts at his disposal to do what the customer wanted.

Spectra steals the memories they don't want (she has a huge collection of labeled jars of them; there are so many she can't eat them all, so she's working her way through them), Ghostwriter fills in the gaps those memories left behind with a life story the person would want (which Dan monitors like a hawk to make sure he doesn't get carried away), and the volunteer ghosts will possess the customer with the intent of leaving behind knowledge.

They have dead astrophysicists, they have dead college professors, they have dead museum curators; Gotham's got a lot of dead people.

So far, it's working wonders.

Once they customer has been reset, and is still reeling, they're taken to a farmhouse retreat set up by Danny, Dani, and Jazz; after all, they all had to get new identities themselves to run from the GIW, they know the struggle.

Unfortunately, given that they have to act as guard for all these people, they can't use the memory alteration.

Which is a pity cuz there's a lot of shit Dan would love to forget.

But it's a good thing he didn't, he thinks as he stares down the Big Bad Bat, because that means he has his previous life's experience backing him.

Dan squares up to Batman, fully prepared to protect his clients pasts.

[angyblobghost]

Danny uses his enhanced strength (and tactile telekinesis) to hold up a piece of building from falling on top of a group of people. In his human form.

"Are...are you like Superman?" One of them asks.

"Uhhhhhh no," if he admits to that there will be too much power overlap between that and Phantom, and someone's gonna make the connection. "I'm Atlantean. My family was banished like, what, two or three generations ago. I didn't really pay attention to it too much."

"Oh! I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to bring up bad blood."

"Nah, it wasn't anything super bad, but having an affair with an unmarried Royal will get almost anyone kicked from any country with a King or Queen."

Danny is, in fact, pulling this entirely out of his ass, basing it off of some historical lesson Clockwork had insisted on giving him.

Danny is also correct, and that's a real thing that happened in his family history; his father is the bastard brother of the previous Atlantean King. Not the current one and his brother, but the King before them, which makes Danny and Jazz their cousins, and Jack their uncle.

By saying this outloud, like it was no big deal, to someone he didn't realize was livestreaming, he's started the beginnings of a political upheaval in Atlantis.

There's a few people who still have issues with their current choices for King, and crave a different choice.

Different choices that don't know anything about any underwater politics and are impressionable teenagers, or a man that appears to be an absolute moron.

People, options, they think they can easily manipulate.

They did not take into account the sheer baggage that comes with Danny and Jazz's existence, or how neither of them particularly want anything to do with Atlantis at all.

They also aren't prepared, at all, for Jack Fenton.

[angyblobghost]

Danny eating fear for breakfast (new title yay!)

SO! Danny's in Gotham and as you do in Gotham get got by a rogue specifically a clown. Why is Danny in Gotham of all places definitely not because Sam bet him 30$ he would get caught by a rogue (he bet 40$ he'd get caught by the joker.) definitely not because of that. ANYWAY!

DANNY'S BEEN KIDNAPPED! OH NO. BY THE JOKER! OhYES.

Jokers going on and on about how one of Bruce Wayne's kids is currently tied up somewhere in Gotham to the camera as if the camera could talk, and Danny looks like he is seething in rage. When suddenly... BOOM! Something comes crashing through the ceiling.

'Daniel Fenton of Earth, you possess great anger---' *chomp*crunch crunch crunch*swallow* "Kid did you just- DID YOU JUST EAT AN ALIEN RING?!?!" Now the Joker is freaking out. Not because his idiot henchmen got the wrong kid no no, Danny is prime Wayne adoption bait. But because this kid ate a ring without hesitation.

'Daniel Fenton of Earth you possess the ability to instill great fea--' *grab pound to dust snort* 'Daniel Fe--' *chomp* 'Daniel F-' 'Danie-''Dan-' Da-' 'D-'

Currently the lanterns who are on earth right now are perplexed about how this random teenager is eating the lantern rings. The Batfam are slowly getting closer ( and Dick is definitely not chanting 'New brother, New brother, New brother' in the comms.)

The Sinestro Corps are definitely cooping right now.

[angyblobghost]

this was funnier in my head
