#More like how Robin now apparently has a sentient shadow

[radiance1]

I had a thought, a thunk, really and now I shall call up @puppetmaster13u because it involves a cryptid Batman.

So basically it involves that old Shadow Twin? Shadow Twin. I had, wherein Danny died and became Damian's twin brother only to die again and come back as a shadow cryptid being who followed Damian around, hid from everyone else, and is obviously still his little-if slightly unusual-brother.

So what I'm thinking of here is that, cryptid Bruce Wayne/Batman, is a shadow creature that also died (which was inspired by this rlly cool fic) and prowls the night of Gotham and stuff. So, what exactly am I getting at here?

Well, when Damian came into Bruce's life, he instantly recognized that something else came along with Damian, and not just because Damian is kinda cryptid in his own way because, you know, Bruce's son.

It doesn't take long for him to find out about Danny, and he is both saddened and glad that he exists. He's happy that he has another son, but he isn't happy about the fact that he's too much like him I.E, he died and came back as a shadowy cryptid being.

So big shadow dad and smaller shadow baby who may or may not hide himself from everyone but Damian and their shadowy dad (also Alfred)

Batman Original Character: Adriana Morgensonne Verold, The Nightingale

- There is a line from a lullaby in Solheim that was always Adri’s favorite: “An aly when there are none, a friend when there is no one.” The song was about shadows.

- No one knew shadows more than the people of Solheim, even more so its royal family, each one born with their own Svartsál (Black Soul), their shadows sentient and protective. Adri named hers Nótt, after her ancestor.

- Princess Adriana Morgensonne Verold was taken away from her home country of Solheim when her father’s enemies declared war

-according to the rest of the world, Batman, an apparent aly of Solheim, rescued the child because with her mother dead and her elder brother missing and presumed dead, she is now the heir to Solheim.

- When she arrives at the Wayne Manor she is immediately greeted by a grinning, bannister sliding Dick Grayson who welcomes his “new little sister” home. She cries on the spot.

- She knew Bruce was Batman from the beginning and follows him out one night on patrol but he didn’t know she was there because Nótt kept her hidden. When someone tries to fire a gun at his back Adri sends him out to shield Bruce.

- She gets yelled at but argues she doesnt feel safe alone at the manor. Its debated upon back and forth but decided that where he goes, she follows so long as she stays hidden and doesnt interfere.

- When Dick starts going around as Robin at first she keeps him hidden because he has a knack for showboating and the colors he wears aren’t exactly stealthy

- The Justice League adored them, even though Adri wasn’t a “hero” yet she was welcome and after a lot of convincing was trained to protect herself. Bruce didn’t like it but she won the argument by telling him he won’t always be there and she never wants to make him choose between her and the rest of the world.

- When Dick and Bruce have their falling out, Adri is heartbroken and almost bails but she realizes Bruce needs a Robin. Jason comes into the picture and she is estatic. But they don’t get along at all.

- He pulls her hair, calls her dumb nicknames and insists he doesnt need her help but after Bruce leaves on a mission with the Justice League and the two of them are left alone to stop Pyg from experimenting on people

-Jason is the one who convinced Bruce to finally let her out on patrol with them officially. It didn’t feel right to take Babs’ place and so Nightingale becomes Gotham’s newest hero.

-Where Dick was her older brother, Jason became her best friend. She taught him how to dance and proper etiquette for galas and events they had to attend with Bruce, he taught her how to pickpocket and change tires and fight dirty. Alfred often brings them tea in the library where Jason reads while she plays piano. He used to sneak into her room so Nótt could put on shadows puppet shows for them.

- they grow close, confide in each other, trust each other and works so well together Batman trusts them to go on patrol alone. She kept him in check, he keeps her entertained.

- When Jason dies, she breaks.
