A silly grayghost identity reveal for dannymay day 13 truth!

[eternal-watcher]

Danny knew he shouldn't be in Gotham but he refused to let Cujo go hog wild in a highly populated area, especially if there where heros about who might be working with the government.

He had just placed the cap back on his thermos when he received a punch from someone tall, blond and purple all over.

It was Spoiler, and ow she had a mean left hook. Danny didn't want to fight, especially if his opponent was a bat so, thinking fast he rapidly blurted out the first thing that came to his mind, "We'veBeenTryingToReachYouAboutYourCarsExtendedWarrenty"

Spoiler paused, trying to decipher what the heck Danny had just said, but danny was already running

As a new Ghost King and being a Fenton, Danny didn't have many people to ask for dating tips. Other than well his parents, Jazz and the Death Gods. That is how Danny learned.  "Kidnapping should work."  And as Danny already knew Wonder Girl that he meet during the "meeting of the Pantheons", where he was Persephone and Hades +1... And that way, meet Granny Demeter.

And Cassie was there too; Zeus did bring her to show off his new daughter to the other Gods.  A few months later.

It became a game between both. Cassie is Greek." This must be how dating works." But there are limits. When Danny can try to steal her!

So she gets angry when Danny tries to kidnap her while fighting a villain.

Cassie." NOT NOW!" Danny gave Cassie a sad puppy look. Cassie:" GO!" Danny did fly away and looked sad.

Miss Martian looked at the one who tried to kidnap her teammate:" I feel bad for him; should I feel bad for him?" Cassie. "He will jump back to his feet in a few hours or so. He knows better than to try to kidnap me when I am working." Artemis:" I have so many questions that I will ask later."

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.

Travelling ring master Danny.

That's it, that's the idea.

Danny is just the ring master of a travelling circus full of exotic beasts. Why are they exoctic?

Because said beasts are literally dead, that's why. The ghosts of dead animals, not at all nefarious actually. He didn't kill them and bind him to his circus in any way, he just, pulled up around the world and asked the ghosts of dead animals if they wanted to join his circus.

Those that didn't he left alone, those that said yes he took along with him.

Of course, he has some alive animals, mostly ones forced onto him by both Vlad and Sam's parents for whatever reason. He takes good care of those ones.

He does have a whip, but it's mostly only for show. Does it hurt? Yes, yes it does, if the screams of pain from those who tried to rob his circus were any indication.

DCxDP AU: Danny and Damian are actually twins but were never raised together- Talia would divide her time between bases, spending time with them separately (but spending more time with Damian). Jason technically only met Danny in his time with the LoA.

It still a very tenuous truce that Jason has with his family when he finally joins them for breakfast after a late night of busting a drug ring. And sue him, he's never cared to look at the little one that closely when he's not pointing a knife in his direction. But then the little Bat Brat turned his face towards the ray of light streaming into the family room of the Manor and Jason caught a closer look to the… green color. Huh.

“Hey demon, when you died did you come back with those green eyes?” Jason calls out, and perhaps it’s a little antagonistic but something deeply unsettles the crime lord about this.

“Tt. I’ve always had green eyes Todd. Your observation skills remain dulled-“ Damian begins to berate him but Jason’s scowl deepens and he interrupts.

“No, they were definitely Bruce’s color blue when I met you with Talia- I punched your lights out because of it remember?” Jason supplies, looking perturbed and having a small child look equally perturbed back at him.

“You never met me in Nanda Parbat. And mother would have never allowed you to attack above your station and live.”

“Kid I literally have the scars from my punishment. My memory from that time after the pit might not be great or even good but I know, I know I punched your lights out.”

“No doubt you have been fooled by a clone then-“ Damian says but he looks upset.

“Talia called you Dami then, you’ve never let us call you that.” Jason supplies further, he was certain that Talia had introduced him as her son.

“I was never called such an informal name.” But Damian looks disturbed more than he looks like he wants to fight.

Eventually, after combing through their collective memory of Talia's where abouts and Damian's lack of interaction with Todd, it’s decided that they have to talk to Drake who was there the most recently. Neither wants to add the fact that he's also the most knowledgeable family member when it comes to the LoA now.

“Huh? Yeah, it looks like Talia kept ledgers dividing her time between two places- the journal reads like there is Dami as Damian but… maybe it’s Dami AND Damian…” Tim reviews the books he robbed them of with a fine tooth comb and suddenly this pattern of using the “nickname” and the “full name” start to show a “first child” and a “second child”.

Damian was clearly the favorite. The ‘Dami’ kid was sent away on a suicide mission pretty early in their lives, he would have left right after Todd did at the age of 8-ish. They all groaned at the cold trail following this assignment he failed to return from- it meant that they had to involve Bruce with a DNA search of the local areas the kid had been sent to across the globe. One of which, weirdly enough, was in Illinois.

…

“My name isn’t Daniel” Danny sighs at yet another event the Mansons brought him to with Vlad looking over his shoulder every five minutes.

Then the weird skinny kid who’s the big talk of the town approaches him with some guy built like a tank and says: “It’s Damian, isn’t it?”

Danny literally sinks through the floors, but in his attempts to run out the back door he’s stopped- By a guy that has Danny's own face and a very sharp looking knife pressed to Danny's throat.

In short- Danny introduced himself to the Fentons as “Dami” but they misheard him and called him Danny and fuck it, it’s close enough.

Now it turns out that their mother only planned on one surviving the artificial womb and gave them very different amounts of her time- so she just gave them the same name and reported it like she only had one child.

Accidentally unmannerly.

Shitty people weren't a new thing.

Anywhere, anytime, you can always find people who make themselves feel better by putting others down. They think the world revolves around them, and because they are upset, others have to stop everything and do their bidding.

Those were the people Tim hated the most.

He couldn't stand those who insisted on making him feel more miserable than he already was, so he really, really had to hold back and not punch this guy in the nose.

He pitied anyone who had anything to do with this guy on a daily basis.

Vlad Masters talked like he expected Tim to pity him, like it was unfair that his mansion was being raided by police because he was being investigated for embezzlement, tax evasion, and money laundering.

Which, alright, shit rich people do all the time, but he was talking about it like all of it was all Tim's fault, like he was the one that reported him.

It was like having Alfred lecture him, repetitive, annoying, and talking only to make you feel worse.

"Wonder what will happen if they find the basement, um? Think they just ignore all of that ecto-"

Vlad suddenly stopped talking.

Tim looked up and saw him staring at someone.

On the other side of the room, as teenager who looked exactly like Tim was raiding the buffet.

Vlad turned to him.

"You're not Danny..."

Tim summoned a demon to trade his soul for Jason Todd's revival. Danny isn't a demon, and he didn't tell Tim that, but he's also not about to leave some kid all alone with criminally neglectful parents.

Tim summons Danny, Danny appears in his Infinite Realms High Prince gear, taking care to be ever so slightly eldritch in case it's the GIW trying to summon him again.

Tim offers his soul for Danny to bring Jason Todd back to life.

Danny...isn't a demon, and has no ability to bring someone back. He does, however, recognize the half formed ghost floating behind Tim and screaming at Danny to fuck off as a baby halfa. More than likely, the soul got split from the body, and lost.

So he leans over, taps the scared and angry ghost-kid on the forehead to give him an ecto-boost (enough so that he'll have the energy to detach himself from the other kid and instinctively be drawn to his own body again), and pretends to make a deal.

Tim has to summon him and talk to him about his life once a week for three years. If after those three years Danny feel that the information provided is not sufficient (in other words if he feels that Tim's living situation still isn't great), Danny will collect Tim.

Three years pass, and Tim's reports are...concerning.

Danny isn't super convinced Tim's living situation isn't not the best.

So, on the dawn of the third year, in front of the entirety of Young Justice as they were having a get-together, Danny tears open a rift and grabs Tim by the cape.

"It is time to uphold your deal," Is all the information Danny gives before he yoinks Tim into the Infinite Realms.

He didn't really have time to explain more, honestly, he was running late for a meeting with the Observants, political education lessons with Ghost Writer, and also he had to prepare for family dinner. Lunch. Linner? Whatever.

He makes quick work of shoving Tim into a room, telling him it's his, and setting Dani loose on him. She's thrilled to be an Aunt and has the energy to match Tim's tenaciousness, she'll be able to keep him out of trouble until Danny can finalize the adoption tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Young Justice is Freaking The Fuck Out.

Amity is a Dimensional Dump

So! Amity Park is a hub of weirdness of all sorts, mostly undead, but there are also a bunch of Multiversal oddities connected to the small town.

There are the minor anomalies. 5th Street has a bad habit of slipping into the Backrooms, Old Lady Jenkin's House sometimes has snow in summer, and of course the Night Sky had a 20% chance of swapping views to another Galaxy. Danny likes that one a lot.

But the biggest Anomaly is how many Multiversal Travellers get lost there.

They are always finding somebody wandering the streets with no idea where they are, and have to help them find their reality of origin. Other times they decide to stay for various reasons, ranging from a bad home life to being the only survivors of a Dead Universe. Half of the population if Amity was made up of the descendants of Lost Travelers, so their DNA was really a mixed bag.

Danny was flying over town when he spotted a Blur on the ground below.

He flew down to intercept, and found a boy in red and yellow panicking over his situation.

"Hey! Can I help you?" He called out.

The boy looked up, and gasped "Are you a Hero? I need help getting back to the Justice League!"

Danny chuckled, "Which one?"

The boy looked confused, "The Adult One? I guess?"

"Not what I meant, sorry. I mean, which Dimension are you from?" He clarified.

"Dimensions? What is going on!?" He shouted.

"Okay, let's calm down and restart. My name is Danny, who are you?" He introduced himself.

The boy took a deep breath, calming himself, before saying, "Okay, my name is Kid Flash, but you can just call me Wally."

[eternal-watcher]

There’s so many stories out there where the heroes are shocked about Danny’s shenanigans and life, let that table be turned. Danny spouts the most buckwild thing that has ever happened to him and that’s why he’s in this dimension. Wally West just goes with the flow in a “same old same old, just another Tuesday. I’ve dealt with something similar like 5 different times! Let me tell you about my experience so we can relate” way, and Danny Is frankly stunned.

Clark Kent hears this Dani kid he recently met heart just stop. He panics but then an hour later he hears her heartbeat again. What the hell was going on?!

[eternal-watcher]

After escaping the Guys in White, Danny flees. He doesn't know where he'll go or were is safe. All he knows is that everything is dangerous and he has to leave now.

All that panic fades when he takes a sharp turn on an Amity street to see that the block isn't as it should be. People milling about that he's never seen before, buildings and shops that aren't meant to be there, hell even incorrect street signage compared to Amity's custom ghost proof signage made with Fenton Font.

Sprinting as far as he can, chest heaving and body in sheer agony, his hands desperately trying to put pressure on his wounds but there was too many to count to properly cover. He tripped next to what looked like an old opera house entrance like the one in Amity's downtown.

Then the blasting and shouting from the men in white suits stopped.

Danny turned to look for the sudden absence of noise to find that he was no longer in Amity.

The injured boy stopped, turned, and stared at the miles and miles of wheat fields that were spread out around him. The strange Shouldn't Be There street still surrounding him.

Danny breathed hard labored breaths, his mind trying to comprehend what on earth just happened, people still were milling about, the Old Opera house, that was apparently not an Opera House but was instead a "Peeping Tom's Perpetual Cabaret", blinked it's signage at him with bright neon lights. Before Danny could even process the change, words appeared on a scrolling "OPEN" sign next to the buildings door with words that weren't the average greeting; "Hello Danny, nice name" the yellow lights scrolled past as Danny stared at the signage in confusion, "They won't find you here. You're safe now."

The words scrolled past two times to make sure the broken teen read it before the words changed back to a standard open sign.

Danny doesn't quite know why the words on the sign convinced him, but something deep down told him that the words said were true, he was safe, he didn't have to run anymore.

And with that, the shock and adrenaline rush from running away from his captors faded away and the pain of his wounds mad themselves even more known. The pain overwhelming and the all encompassing fear fading away, unconsciousness rapidly takes hold of the ghost hero and everything goes black.

Of which Vlad IS related to Bruce

Their Bat-ness must have came from a common ancestor. And that adoption thing.

But anyways.

Imagine Vlad contacting Bruce with his fam out of the blue, asking BRUCIE, HI NICE TO TALK TO YOU AFTER LONG PERIODS OF ABSENCE BUT IVE A QUESTION THAT NEEDS TO BE ANSWERED FOR MY KWN SAKE- how do you get your children to be civil with you???

Bruce: ... I am not aware you adopted kids Vladdie?

Batfam, listening to the conversation: it's cute that Masters tot we're civil to Bruce at all times lol

Vlad: Currently I have my godson with me and he's acting a lot like a combination of your sons in gala disasters.

Bruce: which gala disasters you're talking about? Coz you know we have the Rogues attacking galas aaaaallll the time-

Vlad: you know what I mean, cousin. Richard in the chandeliers, little Damian stabbing the handsy ones, Timothy making people cry left and right between his blackmails and "conspiracy theories"-

Bruce: (tries to imagine all that Feral in one body and failing)

Batfam: (omg new cousin sounds lit)

Vlad: so yes Brucie, I need some advice, please and thank you.

(Unseen: Danny gnawing his leg)

I thought about it more

Clockwork is like the dad who said he didn’t want a dog/cat and then weeks later is absolutely in love with them

Danny saw the hero before him.

Danny:" So you are the one worse than Darkseid". Flash:" What?!" Danny: "Well, Clockwork told me how you destroyed timeline after timeline and all the paperwork you create when you time travel." Flash:" Flashpoint was only once!" Danny:" You can at least ask him before you time travel… I get away with it, but he knows I do. You just do it." Flash:" I always had a good reason!" Rest of heroes:" Yeah." Danny:" To eat the same burger 4 times because it was so Tasty? Wow, you in the league have good reason to put Your Time Line and Earth at risk."
