Eldritch Friend
Or: Learning to be human,
DPxDC Prompt
Since she was in the League, Cass noticed a shadow watching her, but it never took aggressive actions against her, on the contrary, the shadow always seemed to try to help her. It gave her medicine or cures for her wounds, on one occasion it gave her an ice sculpture of a dancer, it was beautiful.
The shadow didn't seem to want to fight with her, and it was impossible for them to communicate because of this. It didn't seem to have a body either so she couldn't read its body language (Though Cass was sure that the shadow was trying to form a more stable body, maybe even resembling a human).
When she moved in with the Waynes the shadow followed her (and even formed a more human body), that's when she understood. The shadow was trying to be human.
And her "lessons" began (She was determined to teach her shadow friend about humanity, even if she herself was learning), Cass taught it sign language at the same time she was learning, and her deductions proved to be correct when the shadow was finally able to explain to her why it stayed.
His name was Danny, a ghost who had been alone so long that he had lost his humanity, the only language he remembered was that of his old friend: Wulf. Although he had lost his humanity long ago, Danny was still human, more or less (Cass didn't understand that part, probably a mistranslation?)
The shadow wanted to be human like her, learn the language, how to relate and so on. As her lessons continued, the shadow's body began to change more until she found herself facing a teenager who looked just like a male version of herself (Cass wondered if Danny copied her appearance).
Despite that achievement, it was obvious that his Eldritch characteristics weren't completely gone, and he still had a hard time being human, but he looked so proud that she couldn't ask him to shapeshift. So she had to follow her lessons while she concealed a teenage Eldritch who would give her father a cardiac arrest if he discover it.
Oh, and that while she was trying to keep Alfred and Steph from finding out, easy right?

I keep thinking about my scar design and how big the difference between him and tcd scar is.
Tcd scar is a scrawny kid who's clothes are way too big for him and who barely has anything to eat and who's covered in old bandages
Vs current scar who has well fitting clothes and has enough food and isn't malnourished and who's not just surviving but living his life and doing what he wanted

back onto senseific, and with the dancing club again! trying to get down what i can without worrying too much about canon (or else i'll never make any progress...) kitakata is also here. lol
“You two are friends?” Nishizono asked, giving them an odd look, like she was seeing something unexpected there.
Kitakata looked surprised, apparently so caught up in his teasing he forgot she was there.
“We work together at the MRC.” Yagami tried to deny it.
She smiled. “That’s why you’re so close, then.”
Yeah, she definitely had the wrong idea. Unfortunately, if he tried denying it any more vehemently, it might make her even more sure of her assessment. Or he’d offend Kitakata and unintentionally begin an argument right here. He could hardly subject them to that on purpose.
“Ah, well,” He dropped his arm from Yagami. “You know.”
No, she didn’t. And Yagami didn’t either.
