So after "test mission" [Batfamily pov]

[In the Batcave]

Danny: [spinning in Bruce’s chair] So, does this make me an honorary Bat? Dick: Only if you survive Bruce’s approval process. Danny: Please, I’ve fought ancient ghosts. What’s he gonna do? Scowl me to death? Damian: [glaring] Father doesn’t scowl—he instills fear. Danny: Uh-huh. Cute sword, by the way. Does it come in “not compensating”?

Jason: So you’re the ghost kid everyone’s talking about? Danny: Yup. Half-dead, full of sass. Nice to meet you, Zombie Robin. Jason: [narrowing eyes] …I like him.

Tim: You set off LexCorp alarms during a recon mission? Danny: Hey, I got the job done. Tim: Bruce hates when things get messy. Danny: And yet he still lets you work here.

Stephanie: You can fly? Can you give me a lift? Danny: Sure! But it’ll cost you. Stephanie: What do you want? Danny: Snacks. Lots of snacks.

Alfred: Master Danny, your presence has certainly brightened the manor. Danny: Aw, thanks, Alfred. You’re way cooler than my ghost butler. Bruce: [entering the room] You have a ghost butler? Danny: You have a butler-butler. Same difference.

[zhelin-thames]

Danny stood on the corner of Crime Alley, munching on a glowing green sandwich, completely unbothered by the chaos around him. A mugger stopped mid-robbery to stare as Danny casually floated three feet off the ground, his legs crossed like he was on an invisible beanbag. "What?" Danny said through a mouthful of ectoplasm, his voice echoing weirdly. A bat-shaped shadow passed overhead, and Danny glanced up, waving cheerfully. "Hey, Bats! Nice cape today!" The mugger blinked, dropped his wallet, and ran, yelling, “I’m out! I’m not dealing with glowing floating kids now!” Meanwhile, Danny shrugged and went back to his sandwich, earning the title of Gotham’s weirdest menace without even trying.

One paragraph challenge: Make Danny look strange in the eyes of Gotham

He did morning jogs. Every day, without fail, the black hair teenager went from one side of the city to the other. Two bags clutched in his hands, one black and the other white, swung with each step he took. He collected trash from the floor, splitting it into recyclable or not, storing the piles into the two trashbags, claiming it was cleaned up, and having makeshift weights for his exercise. The strangest part was how often he bared his teeth at passersby, usually followed with a cheerful "Good morning!". Maybe he snorted Joker Venom.

Dc x dp idea: time travel yaaaay

Danny, Sam and Tucker get back from fixing some errors in the time line in France just before the French Revolution.

And sure Danny got mistaken for a French aristocrat that had died the day before they got there but it wasn’t to bad, it only made their jobs easier. It won’t be a problem for them.

Meanwhile Constantine, Batman and whoever the fuck else (imma say Hal, I love that green bitch) are exploring an abandoned manor in France after there being reports of strange, violent activity, and with their latest teammate Phantom not picking up their calls Constantine had to pull these two with him instead.

“Hey guys, Phantom’s a ghost, right?”

Hal sounds hesitant as Constantine replies

“Yes, why?”

“I think I found a picture of him living.”

and there on the wall is a picture of a long dead french aristocrat, with black hair and blue eyes but every other detail the same as Phantom’s

There on the wall sits a photo of Daniel Nightingale, a teenager who was possessed by a demon and killed two servants, then himself.

Prompt 92

Clockwork is done. 

Screw the observants’ rules, screw the ‘you can’t enter the mortal realms’ demand they try. He is going to have words with the speedsters about timelines and travelling through timestreams. He is not missing his ghostling’s highschool graduation and if there’s even a chance of that horrible thing happening he will make it everyone else’s problem!

Dc x dp idea 79

Danny reveals both himself and vlad to his parents. They accept him but then avoid vlad. Maddie specifically.

Vlad gets angry and reports the fentons to the justice league about the portal. Secretly of course.

The JLD do come and investigate and discover the portal. They are in the Fenton basement just in time to see Danny walking out of the portal human. He had a run in with skulker in the zone and just had used to much ecto.

That on its own was bad.

But Danny came out holding the crown and ring of rage. Clockwork told him as the new king he had to keep them on him.

The JLD assume he is stealing them.

Top Ten PowerPoints.

Hey, merry Christmas and happy new year! Sorry for the miss last week, but I’m back with another prompt!

Danny knew this was coming. It was always inevitable.

And it’s not like he hadn’t spent days coming up with plans and back up plans for all the most likely scenarios that this would play out.

He stared at his father, the Batman, with sweaty palms against the remote in his hand.

“Well? Stop wasting our time and get on with it, Danyal.” His twin brother, Robin scoffed.

He took a deep breath. “You’ve prepared for this. You got this.” An inner voice (somewhat sounding like Jazz) said.

He clicked the button on the remote, changing the TV behind him to-

“Top ten reasons you (Batman) shouldn’t adopt me!”

—

Yes, Danny has an entire PowerPoint presentation as to why Batman can’t take him home, even though the Fentons are negligent.

ohh you cannot comprehend the amount of [INCORRECT BUZZER SOUND] i am putting into this roleswap au

[noir-renard]

Daniel J. "Call Me Danny" Fenton was. Odd. An excellent employee. Incredibly bright. But Odd.

That he stood out as Odd in a place like Gotham was notable.

He’d joined Wayne Enterprises last fall, during the time Bruce was “dead” and Tim was “CEO”. Tim had been a bit too preoccupied with not getting assassinated or letting Hush take over WE to worry about all the new hires, so he didn’t officially get around to meeting Danny until months after the fact.

Now Bruce wasn’t dead, Tim wasn’t CEO, and Danny was still here.

“Tim, Bruce, meet Danny. He’s the new lead on the experimental engineering sector of R&D,” Lucius had said, introducing what was to become the subject of Tim’s newest obsession.

Tim hadn’t known it at the time; at the time, Danny had just been another black haired tech in a lab coat and goggles. Someone Tim would have to learn to work with and around, now that Tim was going to be the assistant head of R&D under Lucius.

The first thing Danny had ever said to Bruce (and Tim, who was standing right next to Bruce at the time), was “I always knew you’d come back some day.”

Which was support that would have been nice for Tim to have had months ago. But, no matter. 

Tim did nearly have a minor conniption when Danny continued with, “You got back just in time,” but maybe it was just a turn of phrase. He couldn’t possibly know Bruce had been lost in time and almost died for real in the process of getting him back.

But it was the first of many strange…encounters.

—

The first incident that Tim Actively Noticed as Odd was about a month after Tim had first met Danny.

"Hey Mr.Fox, Mr. Wayne. Mr. Drake-Wayne,” Danny had said, breezing into the very private meeting they were having in the third office on the fifth floor that only existed to give Lucius, Bruce, and Tim a place to meet while at work.

It was nowhere near the R&D department, where Danny apparently “lived”. Metaphorically. Maybe.

How he found them there, Tim wasn’t sure.

“Did you want that moonlander prototype ready for the board meeting this afternoon or are we pushing to next week?"

"Moonlander Prototype?" Said Bruce.

"Board meeting?" Said Lucius.

Danny blinked, squinted, and scrunched his nose, in that order.

"Oh. Have we not had that conversation yet?"

"I think we can assume no."

“Right. Different time-line.” Danny backed out of the room without turning around. “Um. Let's pretend this didn't happen, okay?" 

There had been some kind of crisis they were dealing with at the time, but Tim had noted in a passive way that it was. Well. Odd.

—

The next Odd Thing had been some time later.

Danny had walked up to Tim so silently that Tim hadn't heard him at all until he spoke.

"Ahh, so that's how you do it," he'd said.

Tim had whipped around, wondering what Danny had seen. He'd technically been working on stuff for his Night Job, but it wasn’t something that was apparently obvious…unless you knew every project inside and out. Like Danny.

Still, Tim had played dumb. Which didn't come easy.

"How I do what?"

"Well, I've been wondering how, legally, you get away with designing things for. You know." Here, he put his fingers up on top of his head, as if to imply bat ears. "I've seen tons of stuff on the servers that the locals don't use, but unless they work here I wasn't sure how they got the designs. But it's enrichment and plausible deniability all wrapped up into one, right?"

"What?" Said Tim.

"Like, they can have access to any designs they can hack into. So you can design things for them without actually designing things for them. I've been wondering how to send my stuff over. I have ideas, you know."

"Huh?"

Danny clicked his tongue and shot him a finger gun. 

"Exactly. But hey, if you wouldn't mind looking over my stuff, I'd love your input. I don't usually have to worry about people dying or falling to their death, so I might have overlooked something."

Tim had gone to look at Danny’s stuff, because he was curious.

It was good. And he wanted it. 

Technically, he could just access it directly from the WE server, but Danny was expecting someone to hack into his account to get it and he said 'he'd know' if it happened. 

Tim, by this point, had every reason to believe him.

He'd thought he could hack it no problem. As it turned out…it was a challenge. More importantly, it was fun. It'd been a while since Tim had had fun, he realized, which made it all the sadder that hacking into his co-worker's account to justify making use of the designs made for him probably said a lot about Tim.

Nothing he was prepared to admit though.

—

There were other things, too. Easily explained away but which had accumulated into a Pile of Things Tim Couldn’t Ignore.

Like the overheard ("overheard") FaceTime between Danny and two other people.

"For the last time, Sam, I know you wanted to come to Gotham, but according to Clockwork the timelines where you become Ivy's protégé all begin with you living here! Besides, you secretly love undermining Lex, don't pretend otherwise."

“You just say that because Evil Me is so much hotter than Evil You,” said Apparently Sam.

"I thought we decided Danny can't work at LexCorp because Lexy would definitely want to study him like a bug?” said Voice Number Three.

"As if we’d let that happen, Tucker,” said Sam. “Anyway, Mercy is incredible, she could do so much better than Lex. I’m gonna flip her and/or marry her."

“Well I get to work with the Stones, DILF and RILF” said Tucker, “so who’s really winning here?”

“Me, obviously,” said Danny. “But we’re all breaking rule number two.”

The other two people, based on context clues alone (as well as Tim’s totally justified research into Danny’s background), were Sam Manson, the Ethics Board Lead at LexCorp; and Tucker Foley, Head Programer at S.T.A.R. Labs Detroit.

Tim had investigated Danny for weeks after that, convinced of either corporate espionage or an evil plot.

All he found was a private group chat with a pinned set of rules: 1. We don't talk about work 2. We don't talk about or fall in love with our co-workers 3. We don’t talk about NB1-7 4. Vladposting hours are always

There was the incident where Danny, somehow, single-handedly prevented DalvCo from buying 50% stock in WE. Literally. All it took was a handshake and the deal was off. Which was good, because although Tim was sure the buyout was somehow illegal, he couldn't find evidence.

There was the time he walked up to Jerry from the mail center—one of the criminals Bruce had recruited off the street as Batman—and told him right in the middle of the break room, "your brother is proud of you for stepping up and changing your ways for his kids, and he's sorry about the tooth incident."

Jerry burst into tears and hugged Danny. Danny somehow left the situation with the broken break room microwave in his custody and thirty unreformed Gotham Goons on speed-dial “in case he needed literally anything ever, no questions asked, just say Jerry the Salamander sent you”.

Tim had watched the security footage from that day thirty times. He still wasn’t sure when the microwave even broke, much less how Danny ended up with it. There was some kind of glitch in the video.

It wasn’t obviously Danny’s fault, but by this point Tim was starting to suspect any strangeness in the building had something to do with Danny.

—

It all came to a head on what should have been a normal Tuesday, for what counted as normal in Gotham.

The whole WE building was on lockdown because of a ‘mysterious pathogen’ making employees exhibit odd symptoms, like floating, duplication, and general peevishness. Because of the unknown nature of the pathogen, the floors had been sealed off from each other and the outside.

Tim, much to his chagrin, was stuck in R&D, which was to say: The Basement. 

Where Danny just so happened to be as well.

The only good thing about being stuck in the basement with Danny aws that Tim, hopefully, might have a chance to Study Him Without Interruption.

Somehow, Danny seemed more mildly inconvenienced than worried.

“She always does this,” he grumbled, pulling up a program on his computer that was definitely not part of WE’s IP.

“Who always does what?” Tim pressed, desperate for answers.

“Spectra,” said Danny, green matrix-like text scrolling across the screen. “Good thing Technus owes me a favor.”

With an ominous click, a cube on Danny’s desk that Tim had incorrectly assumed to be raw material started to move, slowly unfolding itself to a nine foot tall behemoth not unlike what one might see at a mecha convention.

“I AM TECHNUS,” said the Robot, arms charging with some kind of green…vacuum power? In his hands? “MASTER OF WORKPLACE SAFETY AND CLEANLINESS.”

“What?” said Tim.

"He doesn't normally say that," Danny mumbled, sounding disappointed.

It wasn’t until after the whole thing was sorted out—the source of the virus having been some sort of interdimensional being? Apparently? —that Tim had the chance to ask : “Where did the robot come from?”

“From the broken microwave, obviously.”

“Why did you make a mech from a microwave?”

Danny had looked at Tim like he was the unreasonable one.

“Everyone knows you send a robot to fight a pathogen. They come preloaded with antivirus software.”

Unintentionally Mysterious Danny

No one in the Justice League/Wayne Industries seems to know much about their colleague Danny Fenton. Every time he opens his mouth, he tends to leave everyone in the vicinity with more questions than answers. That is, until they were put on lockdown.

Danny meets JL Members #2

Danny: So… you’re the Batman? Batman: Correct. Danny: Cool, cool. Heard a lot about you. Big fan of your whole brooding aesthetic. Very goth. Batman: …I’m not goth. Danny: Yeah, sure. Says the guy standing on a gargoyle in the rain.

Batman: Who are you? Danny: Danny Phantom. Half-ghost superhero. Batman: Ghosts don’t exist. Danny: Says the guy who dresses like a bat to fight a clown.

[Danny in the Batcave]

Danny: Dude, your cave is so cool! You’ve got, like, all the gadgets and a freaking dinosaur?! Tim: It’s a T-rex, actually. Danny: Okay, but why? Batman: It’s a trophy. Danny: Sure. And I’m the king of the Ghost Zone.

[Group Chat: “BatFam + Phantom”]

Jason: Who let the glowstick in here? Danny: Wow, you must be fun at parties. Dick: Ignore him. Welcome to the chaos, Danny! Danny: Thanks! Btw, do you guys have a “no ectoplasm on the Batmobile” rule? Asking for a friend. Tim: [frantically typing] Ectoplasm is corrosive?!

Damian: Why is there a child with ghost powers in Father’s city? Danny: Why is there a child running around with swords in Gotham? Damian: … Dick: He’s got a point.

[Batman observing Danny fighting a ghost]

Batman: [Batarang passes through the ghost] … Danny: Yeah, no. Ghosts aren’t a “punchy” kind of problem. Batman: I adapt. Danny: Okay, but adapt faster, Bat-Dad.

[at the manor]

Alfred: Master Wayne, the half-ghost boy is currently floating through the kitchen walls. Batman: …And? Alfred: He’s helping himself to a sandwich. Should I prepare another plate? Batman: Just keep him out of the wine cellar.

Dp x DC prompt #13 (yay lucky number!)

What if Danny is introduced to the family not as a gremlin, but as his friend from community College and he is so freaking normal that it makes the entire family suspicious. The only reason Jason decided to bring him along is that he knows Danny seems too normal for their cohort and it will utterly freak out Bruce and Tim, confuse Grayson and set off Damian. Jason though, he knows Danny is only normal for the first few times of interaction, then he starts getting weird even by Bat Family standards.

Jason: Hey. I brought my friend from campus tonight.

Danny: Hi! Nice to meet you!

Bat family: *suspicious eyes* Nice to meet you.

Danny: I totally didn't believe Jason when he said he was one of 5 kids but he proved me wrong. Lol.

Bat family: How'd you meet Jason?

Danny: OH! He's been tutoring me in English class and I've been helping him with Calculus. We met at the library when I was trying but failing to type a paper and ended up irritating him with my groaning. He walked right over asked me to shut up and I apologized and said I was having difficulty *insert English homework here* and he had a look utter disgust and surprise and said "how the fuck are you having problems with that?"

Jason: I was disgusted. That was such an easy topic.

Danny: For you maybe! Anyways I said "Well if it's so fucking easy, explain it to me. And he did! With way better clarity then my professor. So I thanked him and asked what I could do in exchange for help. He then told to stay fucking quiet o he can work on his stuff. And we went on about our business. A week later we were both back in the library again and he was banging his head, so I went over and asked if he was okay and he yelled to leave him alone and he just as I was about to leave I noticed he was working on calculus and told Jim I could help if he wanted. He looked at me like I was insane.

Jason: I was cause you are. Most people don't ask to help after being yelled and cursed at.

Danny: But you had helped me on my english paper! I wanted to return the favor! This happened a few more times before it became normal to meet at the library and work together!

The batfamily is reeling at this strangely normal and meet cute type story and the fact that Jason was going to college and nobody knew somehow (Alfred knew).

After meeting Danny, they stalk him to see if he was acting normal or trying to mess with Jason or Jason manipulated someone normal to mess with them. The first while Danny seems perfectly normal and innocent but after a while they start getting a feeling of something off about Danny like he was both him and not. They also notice that Jason tends to stay calmer when he is around Danny. As they realize he is weird and they slowly figure it out, they actually get less anxious about Danny. As someone not quite normal or human in Danny's case was far more comforting for them then anyone of them managing to befriend an actual normal civilian with no apparent baggage or extreme homelife.

"Right—" He fiddles with his sweater. "Sorry about the- uh, time travel and stuff."

Batman was so confused.

"My Gramps, he kind oversees those? He found out you were my favourite to watch, gave you more adventures because of me."

Batman huffs, turning in the chair to view the child fully. "You know I'm batman,"

"And Bruce Wayne, yeah."

"Do you have a name too?" He's slowly switching over to Bruce, watching the child.

"Danny, uh- sir."

Danny.

His name was Danny, he appeared out of nowhere as he was on the bat computer and apologised for something.

Now wasn't that a reason to apologise if all things.

[thisdudedoesntexist]

It's a few years after AGIT and Danny's off to college! Gotham City University specifically.

Things are going well, he's going for a mechanical engineering degree. Sam and Tucker are around and when they're not too busy they meet up, he's even making friends outside of the Amity social-circle. He works as a medium to pay his bills and, surprise-surprise bringing shades back to the ghost zone is easy for a kid who fought supervillain level ghosts in highschool.

Tiny problem though, nobody in Amity taught Danny to be "human". He obviously knows not to float around in public just cause his feet are tired, but his friends know human eyes don't glow to really show when you're annoyed. They all like him still but, Everybody thinks he's something.

His classmates: think he's possessed by a demon.

The Bats: think he's possessed by a snich ghost.

His new friends: think he's a closeted meta.

Danny: thinks he's crushing the whole secret-identity thing ;)

[bluerosefox]

Protecting Family

Hmmm

I'm on a Danny is Dick's child kick rn so I'm making more.

But lets add in some Ghost King Danny!, Dad to a deaged Ellie and Dan! And toddler Mar'i Grayson.

Danny was conceived during Dick's amnesia year when he was Ric and the woman couldn't find him to tell him (or maybe the Owls caught wind of the pregnancy and took her) and he ended up somehow (hmmm maybe a meddling time keeper?) with the Fentons.

Danny grows as a Fenton, he knows he was adopted btw, then becomes Phantom, protects Amity, becomes the Ghost King and things seem to be going okay between Amity Parkers and the Infinite Realms since they took care of the GIW problem, AND has been a good doting teen dad to his deaged 'cousins/clones' turned kids.

Danny was going to go pick his kids up from daycare one day when CHAOS happens. Just as he wrangles Ellie onto his shoulders, cause she wants to be tall today, and about to take Dan's hand cause he's and I quote "A big boy and not a baby like Ellie, Dad!" he suddenly feels the tug of his family being in danger.

Thing is, its a blood related danger. Meaning someone blood related to him was in grave danger, and by the emotions he can feel, its someone young, way younger than him.

Problem.

The only people Danny knows with his blood in their veins and are young enough for the feeling are with him.

So who?

But due to Danny being a protector spirit AND knowing the feeling is from someone as young as his own kids, Danny decides to use his Ghost King Powers to summon said person from the danger to him.

Danny opens his free arms out just as a tiny toddler with black hair like his own but with bright green eyes, even the sclera were green, in a ruined party dress drops from the sky from the summoning circle that had opened above him.

Danny stares at the terrified child, whose hands are tied by rope and was crying, and takes notes of certain traits she had that he saw every time in the mirror or on his own kids, same eye shape and cheekbones. He can tell his ghost core has claimed her as family but not as his kid though.

No the connection that formed was almost like his connection with Jazz but a bit stronger.

This kid, was his sister. His blood related one.

-Meanwhile-

Dick Grayson, aka Nightwing, and his family were freaking the fuck out.

Dick was already panicked when his daughter Mar'i had gotten kidnapped just a few hours ago by the Joker.

Now he was feeling pure dread when his daughter, who was about to be killed, was suddenly pulled into a strange glowing circle at the last minute and disappeared into thin air.

[menolly5600]

Cave boy Danny has way to much fun fucking with the bats after a while. Jason is too until Danny bites him after some unwanted human contact. Alfred gets a big wave of nostalgia when Danny does it too.

Danny can say that the Waynes have been ridiculously welcoming, all things considered. He still hasn't come clean about not being Bruce Wayne's alternative double, so to throw them off from finding out the truth and have a safe place to crash- he's missed plumbing- he has been invited to the Wayne Manor and has been lazing about when under their watch.

If there was one thing apparent, it was that Bruce Wayne did not laze about. It was mind-blowing to those who knew him to see Danny- a version of Bruce- act like walking across the room for a remote was too much work.

It drove them mad to see such a difference between them, and thus, none of the Waynes noticed Danny's side project to get home.

The Waynes gave him a giant room and helped set up a fake Identity for him while they worked on getting him home. To the public, he was Danny Kane, a long-lost relative recently coming to Bruce for help.

Thanks to the support of Jacob and Kate, they agree to make it seem that Jack Kane- Danny's made-up father- was the result of Bruce's material grandfather having a fling after his wife's death. Jake was hidden from the public eye but had his father's financial support until he was an adult.

Jack was never bitter and told Danny stories of his wayward father, filled with love to prove it. These stories inspired Danny to seek out the remaining Kanes after Jack's untimely death, which led him to Bruce as Martha Wayne nee Kane's son.

The day Danny would be sent home, the Waynes would fake his death, and no one would be the wiser that Danny Kane never existed.

Fine by Danny

. He only planned to stick around long enough to get his ship ready and pinpoint a location that had the vile between the living and dead thin enough to slice his way back to the Ghost Zone.

Unlike Wulf, who could open portals wherever he wanted, Danny had to find points weak enough to punch a hole through. He knows his parent's portal was way out of his set of skills, and he sure as hell wasn't going to give anyone the idea to build their own here. Two percent of portals were already two too many.

He mostly hung around the house- with someone always close by in a poor attempt to hide the fact they were watching him. Most of the time, Danny was either lazing around the house, eating and sleeping, and it felt like a costly vacation.

He refused to help on the coms when the Bats went out to kick ass, even after Dick offered to sit in front of monitors and relay information to the heroes like he was offering the chance of a lifetime.

This seems to disturb everyone else in the house except for Alfred.

If anything, the fact Danny straight-up refused to put on tights and rush into night to fight crime made Alfred adore him. The butler claimed he was worried everyone in the family would forget what everyday life was supposed to feel like.

A few Waynes couldn't seem to wrap their heads around the concept.

"You're not interested at all?" Tim asks, eyes narrowed. He was among the few who thought Danny was suspicious for not wanting to risk his life to fight the corrupted system.

"Nah, man, I'm good here. I got my nachos, I got a movie room and I got the softest bathrobe ever bathrobe." Danny snuggles more profoundly into the pink plush robe that Steph had lent him. "Why would I want to ruin any of these? Sides, I can't even throw a punch."

".....There has never been a single alternative Bruce Wayne that wasn't involved in this life in some way. If not as a hero then he was a villain. Bruce as a villain is one of the most dangerous things that can ever happen across the multiverse" Tim reveals grimly. "We've won every single encounter but only by the skin of our teeth."

"Damn. Let me guess. You guys beat the evil Bruces by sending his kids after him."

"Yes."

"Problem solve. You already know you can kick my ass, so if I try anything, you can take me out, right?" Danny doesn't wait for a answer. He turns away from the teenager to stare at the movie screen showing his picked movie. "I can do nothing but tremble before your bat might."

Tim steps into his line of sight. "I mean it. You do anything to harm this family and will regret it."

"Does that mean I can't bite Jason again? That sucks. It's the only way I can get him to stop trying to drag me to galas. He wants to scare the other rich people with my poor people's manners."

Tim's lip twitches and Danny knows he's fighting to keep his face under control. "You didn't have to lock your jaw in like that."

"I really did. Jason tested me."

Tim tilts his head. "You don't really feel like Bruce. You look just like him at fifteen. Alfred says you act just like him. But for the last three weeks, you've been trying really hard to make it seem like you're okay with doing nothing."

"I am comfortable doing nothing."

"I think you're lying," Tim says, moving closer to stare down into Danny's eyes with frankly a manic glare. Danny's core flares up with the sense of challenge he finds in that dark blue gaze.

Which is a first for a human, and frankly is terrifying. If Tim had been a ghost he would have easily been an Ancient assistant or a baby Ancient. He has to be able to match Danny's power like this. Holy shit.

"I think your parents didn't give you enough love as a child, and now you seek approval from everyone around you while trying to push everyone away because you are too scared to make yourself valuable. You find yourself in an endless loop of self-doubt and self-hate by doing both simultaneously." Danny blurts. He watches Tim freeze, then winces. "Shit, sorry, the psychoanalyze came out as a reflection. Forget that."

Tim is still frozen in a way Danny recognizes as someone hearing something challenging to come to terms with. This is why he needs to break the habit of using Jazz's psyche training as a weapon.

He forgets not everyone insults each other with their deepest insecurities. That's just how he and Jazz love.

"...Do you want to watch the Grey Ghost Marathon with me?" He asks after a long pause. Tim closes his eyes before plumping down next to him.

"I like that."

Neither mention Jason, who is gasping in the last row of seats and attempting to suppress muffled laughter behind the wrist cast that Danny lovingly gave him at the last gala.

On a side note, Danny Kane is called "Rabid Dog." by the elites of Gotham, who watched the boy make three grown men cry after two minutes of talking to him and also witness four Waynes attempt to pry his mouth open screaming, "No Danny drop it. drop it!" while the boy munched on Jason's wrist.

No one has noticed that half of the tech has disappeared.

[nightingale-prompts]

Danny can't taste- DCxDP Prompt

The problem with being half dead is that so are your senses. While certain foods are still as tasty as ever they are relegated to food found on offering plates like bread, fruits, cheese and wine. But Danny just wants to eat a good burger and unfortunately, those aren't offered to the dead.

This has led to Tucker and Sam burning food offerings for Danny in the past, but there has been another solution.

Danny just adds copious amounts of extra stuff to his food to satisfy his numbed tastebuds.

20 sugar packages to his coffee, a flood of hot sauce on his burgers and anything else he could get his hands on.

One afternoon after class Danny ended up meeting Tim at the Batburger on campus. There Tim watched in horror as Danny filled a cup of Sprite, added blue raspberry sour Death Ball candies to it, added citric acid, added plutonium 9 hot sauce, and extra sugar. It was the most horrifying baby blue concoction Tim had ever seen. It looked like a normal soda but it was liquid death.

And Tim wanted to try it next.

(A drink that would cause a small Victorian child to disintegrate)
