Danny as a member of Metahumans Anonymous

So, Gotham has a fairly strict No Metas Rule. Not because Batman hates Metas or because the people do, but because it isn’t safe for them to live there with so many Rouges looking for powerful Henchmen. Rogues that will do anything to them or their families to get them to obey.

The few Metas that do live there do so in secret, hiding their powers from everybody else and trying to live a normal life.

Then comes in Danny Fenton. He just recently moved to the City for work, and he just so happens to move in across from one of these hidden Metas. His neighbor accidentally reveals his powers to Danny, and starts to panic because even one person knowing could lead to more people knowing and soon enough he would be stuck in a henchman position being ragdolled by the Batman for the crime of using his Fire Breath to heat up his coffee in front of his neighbor.

Before his neighbor can panic anymore and run away, Danny uses his powers to freeze the doorknob shut. Seeing that Danny is also a Meta, his neighbor calms down a bit.

They start hanging out together, a sort of Metahuman solidarity, and eventually meet another Meta, and another, and another, each time sharing their contact info to keep in touch and make sure everybody else is safe. They eventually meet a couple dozen Metas living on Gotham in secret, creating a group chat to keep in touch and talk.

This eventually culminates into weekly meetings to hang out and discuss their lives, talk about the ways that being Metas affected their lives, explain the various way they unlocked their powers (lab accident, car crash, naturally as kids, etc.), and even play some sports while using their Powers in a hidden warehouse.

It’s a sort of freedom that none of them have experienced since moving to Gotham, a way to let loose and confide in people who understand their lives and struggles. It becomes therapeutic in a way, and it does help that Danny knows a little about Psychology from his sister, so he can help his new friends calm down during a panic attack or talk about tough subjects more easily.

He can also use his Technical Know-How build them some trinkets, as little souvenirs or gifts. But he is also a Ghost, and the love-language of Ghosts is violence, so he makes them little weapons as “Toy Gifts”. He makes a Flamethrower for his Fire Neighbor as a joke, a Blowgun for the guy with Wind Powers, a Water Gun for the guy who makes acid, all that.

They even use the toy weapons in their Games, and it helps that some of their members have healing powers so their don’t have to worry about being hurt too bad.

All in all, it’s a really fun place to hang out with their Meta buddies.

Their Safe Haven.

...

Then one day, Robin sees some people using their powers from a skylight of the Meta Sports Warehouse.

Danny Phantom (and technically optional crossover) Prompt

Imagine, if you will, a not-aging Danny Fenton. There’s about a dozen ways to do this, but in this case—Danny still has a human lifespan, he just looks human (though, I won’t argue against any immortal Dannys). As Fenton, he’s just stuck at fourteen. Phantom, being a ghost whose appearance is based on what he sees himself as, does look older. By this point, he’s probably retired from superheroics—I just find unphased and jaded 18 year old Danny to be hilarious. So, he’s just like ‘I wanna go to college’.

So he does. He just. Always looks 14. His hair grows, he can build muscle, and he can definitely have dark eyes—but otherwise? Short ass 14 year old. He constantly has to prove that yes, he’s the real Danny Fenton, and no, this is not a scam. He eventually has to get meta-specific paperwork filled out—no need for the genetic test if the power is fairly obvious. (Of course, it’s possible to do this AU as not crossover, but then you’ll have to do the legwork of making it less odd that someone has superpowers, and whether that means everyone knows he’s Phantom, which might change some of the issues. It also doesn’t have to be DC, for instance, you could use Marvel or even My Hero Academia—ultimately, up to the writer.)

Anyways, he gets his degree(s), enters the workforce, and by the Ancients is it hard to be taken seriously. Even people who see his paperwork and know for a fact he’s a full fledged adult are just like, aw, poor kid, can’t even reach the top cabinets without stretching or climbing. So, while he could just keep being the most qualified 14-looking-adult, he’s quickly getting sick of it. He can’t even be a school teacher, none of his students will take him seriously! Not even the younger ones, cause even the other teachers aren’t respecting him.

There are about… three options available to him, up to whoever wants to pick up this sort of prompt.

1-he gets into acting or modeling. Or perhaps, stunt acting. And everyone is just a bit unnerved about how absolutely none of the nonsense seems to get to him, and he’s just… a little *too* bendy sometimes. He’d make a great scare actor, if he wasn’t terrible at scaring people.

2-he goes into the work force as Phantom in a cheap wig and terrible contacts. Half the time, he forgets at least one contact. Cue mystery of who the hell this guy is, because, for ONCE, someone actually paid attention to the paperwork and knows that he DOESN’T look like THAT.

3-he tries to get work in a slightly more remote position, where his colleagues are few to none. Of course, that is, until some hero or another such professional has to meet him in person, and gets one hell of a shock about who their expert on the computer has been all this time.

There’s of course the undercurrent of Danny’s experiences as a teen hero, so sometimes absolutely wild situations show up, and his stories are like, super weird. He thinks at least SOME of his experiences must be universal, and they’re… really, really not. The outlandish stories don’t help the whole ‘not taken serious’ thing, but then they turn out to be true. Bonus points to rogues or ghosts showing up to say hi and everyone is like WAS THAT A FUCKING DRAGON?! And Danny’s just like ‘yeah she was a beauty pageant coordinator in my hometown, we kept in touch. I helped put her brother in jail’. As if that did NOT just raise more questions than before.

Of course, use or don’t use what you want (such as, he does keep a public-ish position, or he just goes full villain to prove a point, or even somehow starts working undercover at schools and summer camps for xyz reasons, whether or not the Justice League finds him, what his degree(s) weee even in, etc etc), I just think that Forever Teen Danny stories are interesting.

Basically… it’s reverse Shazam, haha.

[ID: Digital fan art of a kobold from Rusty Quill Gaming, with a speech bubble saying “Science!”. He is a dark red kobold with dark stripes, wearing a tattered lab coat, with ropes tied around his torso. He is looking at the viewer and grinning. Behind him are large machines, and in the background three other kobolds in lab coats are looking up at a glowing colorful light pattern above their heads. End ID]

i think they definitely should have given the kobold bombs

[ID: The same fan art as above, but the speech bubble says “If I help you, can I have some bombs please?” End ID]

Don’t let the discord get ahold of your villains part 2

So, the terrible Dr. Blake, the bbeg of my story (with such SCP Foundation career highlights as unethical experiments, psychological torture, cutting off hands, and other girlboss moments), was unfortunately deemed to be lacking in her love life. That has since been rectified, and she is now in a poly throuple consisting of her, a CIA agent, and a dentist, all of whom are living double lives so their partners don’t find out about their professional torture gig. The dentist is also committing tax fraud, and is simultaneously somehow the most sadistic out of all of them. 

Additionally, it was decided she needed hobbies beyond corrupting protagonists into monsters, so Dr. Blake is also a semi successful Twitch streamer who obviously doesn’t mention it to her coworkers because they’re all dead meat. The Foundation replaced their mandatory biannual researcher gun training with a simulation due to budget cuts, Dr. Blake realized she was insanely good at precision shots and decided to expand on the skill in her free time as a safety precaution. Her streams consist of her being horrifyingly effective at first person shooters while picking apart the psychological issues of her team/opponents. “Their split second hesitation in shielding is because they have a strained relationship with their father,” or, after someone sneaks up on her, “the inability to face direct conflict is why they didn’t get their last job promotion”. Chat donos try to get her to roast them and she just diagnoses them with ‘parasocial relationship’ while sniping someone from across the map. People go wild for the combo of creepy calm + intense roasts + absolutely insane tactics.

Then, of course, comes the day when the stream starts and the typical commentary is sparse. It’s not hard to see why, of course, what with the giant, gaping wound across her face, almost like a bear tried to rip off her lower jaw. Every word seems to hurt, so not one is minced, cruel jabs that bleed venom compared to her usual sophistication. Her kills are racking up like crazy but she just scowls more and more in a way that contorts the still bloody injury. Chat is going ballistic trying to figure out what happened, pestering Dr. Blake until she just pauses and glowers at the camera, monstrous laughter and death screams still echoing in her ears. “Hunting accident,” she spits out. The stream is completely silent after that.
