Imagine if instead Danny learns how to clone/ uses a device to separate his halves without doing damage. That way, he could do a series of episodes/ interviews with Phantom, and anyone analysing the video feed would see that the second person hasn't been shopped in. This helps to legitimise his secret identity and has the added bonus of discrediting Wes's retaliation podcast (he spends the entire time showing his 'evidence' of why they're the same person. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't have any actual proof to offer besides bad vibes).

Initially, the podcast only gained traction amongst the youth of Amity Park, but one of the students sent a link to her cousin, who was an intern at The Daily Planet. The cousin gets hooked on the show, having been from Amity initially and being familiar with their local hero. They're in the lunch area at work watching it with headphones during their break when one of the senior journalists sits at their table. It's crowded at this point in time and not unusual for spare spaces to be taken by others when you sit by yourself, so they think nothing of it, until they get a tap on their shoulder.

They're annoyed, thinking this big shot is going to try and kick them off the table, but the guy is actually really interested in what they're watching. It's that Jimmy guy who always gets the best shots of Superman (they personally think the two men are secretly dating). Jimmy is interested in what TV show she's watching, thinking it's one his friend's kids will enjoy, and is surprised to find out that it's a podcaster interviewing an actual here from her home town. They send him the link and think nothing more if it, more interested in finding out whether there's going to be long-lasting effects from their hometown being pulled into a different dimension.

Jimmy, on the other hand, goes on a massive research binge, watching every single episode and checking it against local news reports. This guy is doing some seriously good PR work for his local hero, and the podcast is surprisingly good quality considering it's being made by high schoolars. He loads a report he wrote quickly onto a USB stick before heading to the roof and pressing the button on his watch.

Superman, as always, arrives quickly. He seems confused as to why Jimmy pressed the panic button, considering he's seemingly fine (Clark knows he's been sitting at his desk researching all day, and assumes he's stumbled upon some great conspiracy that Superman needs to take down).

Jimmy quickly apologises if he pulled Superman away from something time sensitive, but he found something that he thinks the Justice League might be interested in. They've only been amd for a couple of years, and despite having the backing of several well-known philanthropic billionaires like Queen and Wayne, they still don't have the best reputation. Especially the less well- known heroes and the side kicks. He thinks this guy has a great idea, and they should do something similar maybe.

Clark assured the man that they'll look into it but passes it on to Batman without looking at it too deeply. Bruce is very particular with how they handle their public image, knowing that their actions could potentially affect every enhanced individual on the planet.

Bruce is intrigued and does a deeper dive into this Daniel Fenton kid. Despite what seems to be a chronic phobia of ghosts (he almost always runs away at the first sign of them) and having scientist parents that believe all ghosts are evil, Daniel has decided to approach their local ghost hero and help him tell his side of the story. From the few videos he has found, the boy is skilled at combat when needed and fast at running on his feet.

He decides to pass it on to Tim and the Young Justice to approach the boy about interviewing other heroes/vigilantes. There have been a large number of concerning things showing up in his initial search about the hero Phantom, including a mole on the Watchtower. Agent Jay has been blocking all communication from the state and sending back concerning responses. It also seems that he needs to look into Amanda Waller again. This GIW branch she's started is beyond dodgy and illegal under the Meta Protection Acts.

Young Justice starts their own podcast purely to get Danny's attention, as they realise that they don't have the necessary equipment to visit him without risking overshadowing. Danny agrees to meet with them in Elmerton with spector-deflectors for them to wear, and they have an initial meet and greet. He immediately fanboys over the alien members of the team but gets himself back under control fairly quickly.

He agrees to do videos for some members of the team in exchange for Superboy doing him a favour. The team is on edge, unsure what he'll ask the half-kryptonian for, but Danny explains that a villain recently made a clone of himself, Phantom and themself, and he'd appreciate any advice for how to help her form her own identity outside of her programmed memories and instincts.

Kon agrees to help, and they plan a meet-up between himself and the new clone in Happy Harbour, as she plans to flee the area as soon as Danny has her ID and travel needs sorted. Nightwing is concerned about the legalities of creating her identity, but Danny just shrugs and mentions offhand that the Ghost of technology owed him a favour, so it's all sorted.

Danny has a podcast

Imagine Danny, after years of being ridiculed by mass media, decides to go on a podcast so his side of the story can be heard.

Problem is he can’t find a podcast to go on. A lot of them are to afraid of Phantoms enemies or just not interested. So in classic Danny fashion he decides to fix the problem himself so records and releases a 1 hour tell all interview on being a teenage hero. With Danny as the host and Phantom as the guest with some help from Tucker for the editing to make it all seem like one seamless conversation between two people.

All posted on a YouTube channel they made called “Beneath the Cape”

He thought it would be a one time thing. That maybe down the road he might do another interview with his dead self to talk about other things but he really didn’t expect more than that.

He definitely did not expect to get emails from other heroes asking if they can come on the podcast as a guest.

Because apparently being frustrated by the media giving you a bad wrap is a universal experience in the hero world and after a thorough background check they trusted him to portray them in a more accurate light.

He never could have imagined it get this big but now look at him. Having a shared ranting session with Red Hood about weird billionaires trying to be their fathers.

DC x DP Prompt: Jack and Maddie are not the best parents, but they love their kids! (Even the clone one they just found out about) And so they end up at a support group for the parents of super heroes to get some tips on how to improve.

“— so we’d like to learn how to be better parents to support our children,” Maddie said, sounding sorrowful. “They didn’t tell us secrets for so long because they didn’t trust us.”

She and Jack were currently sitting across from their laptop, where an online meeting was being held. No one showed their faces, since this was a meeting for parents of superheroes and metas, and secret identities still needed to be held.

There were some agreeable hums from the other participants. The head counselor said, “That’s good that you want to change. It’s a good sign. What are you specifically worried about?”

“Well, we recently adopted our youngest child, but we discovered that she was actually a clone of our youngest son. We worry because we don’t know how to deal with her. She’s such a sweet child, but this is so new, y’know?” Maddie explained.

“…. Wouldn’t it be better if you just ignore him— I mean, her? She’s not really part of your family, after all, she’s just a clone. They’re not created like living beings,” one person said. His icon showed a picture of a pair of glasses.

Maddie and Jack immediately scowled.

There was silence. And then the head counselor said, slowly, “Okay, well, I don’t know the circumstances, but I do know that he’s absolutely wrong.”

There was a snorted burst of laughter from another person who had an icon of a bat, before he quickly went on mute. The glasses icon person went silent.

The counselor continued, “No matter what, that child is still just that— a child. They need to be taught and loved and cared for. You’re already doing great by acknowledging your connection to her.”

Jack and Maddie beamed.

“No matter what, the best thing you can do as parents to children who are stronger than you and want to help others is support them. Lord knows just how many villains we could’ve prevented if only they had more support in the beginning.”

Jack nodded. “Rightfully said!” He and Maddie shared a look and smiled. For the sake of their children, they would strive to be better parents.

Danny Fenton being a grinch on Christmas is everything to me.

But the episode was a bonkers approach

Which is crazy because typically when one introduces a holiday episode centered on a cynic, they usually go through the process of helping them regain their holiday spirit.

Tragic event, estranged family or just plain dislike. Help to process those feelings, reaching outs, introspections, anything to help see Christmas in a positive light [again]

That, that doesn’t happen here.

And even if that was the route the episode took, it’s pretty obvious Christmas cheer can’t be brought back by nostalgia - ‘cause hey! This poor schmuck has no fond memories of Christmas, everything is overshadowed by his parents stupid arguments on Santa’s fucking existence

Ahem, anyway………

Danny? Danny is punished, although admittedly for something he did that was uncalled for, and he is put in a situation where any love he did have should have gone up in smoke

The fights he gets in only ends up framing him in a bad light, he has no control over the situation and it’s one inconvenience after another

The ghosts’ Christmas truce was probably his one actual moment of reprieve.

Other than that, he is given no actual reason to like Christmas.

But the reason he hates the holiday in the first place? Never addressed, never resolved, his parents stupid needless arguments over the existence of Santa will probably start up again like clockwork the year after

Can’t recall if anyone was actually understanding of that.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he winds up preferring to spend the holiday in the ghost zone

[stars-obsession-pit]

The teenage halfa lay motionlese on the paper-thin “mattress” of his cot. He barely had the energy to get up at all anymore—not that he’d have anything to actually do in his featureless cell even if he did. Sleep, at least, could pass the time.

The familiar sounds of a lock unlatching and the electrical fizzle of the ghost shield shifting to adjust sounded from the door as a tray of “food” was slid through.

After a few moments, he pushed himself to his feet with a grown and plodded across the cold cell floor to pick up the tray. As horrible as the slurry of who-knows-what he was given tasted, he did need to eat.

But as he considered the bowl, he paused. He hadn’t even touched its contents yet, but a feeling in his gut told him something was different this time.

He lifted the bowl to take a sniff, and noticed a small scrap of napkin that had been hidden beneath it.

Looking closer, he noticed the scrap had something on it. Writing. Tiny, but legible.

‘Added E.Dejecto. Will briefly disrupt shields tonight. Good luck. I’m sorry’

With every word he read, Danny’s eyes widened more and more. For the first time in what felt like an eternity, he felt a flicker of hope.

Cautiously, he took a small sip from the bowl, and felt some of his strength finally returning to him.

The writer had been telling the truth. There was no faking that feeling blooming in his core. This was real. He wasn’t dreaming.

He fought to prevent a grin from stretching across his face. He couldn’t risk giving anything away yet, not when he finally had the possibility of escape within his reach.

For now, he just sat the tray down in his lap and leaned back against the wall, feeling the hum-buzz of the shields within. He had no idea what time it was or how long it’d be until nightfall, and he didn’t want to risk the Ecto-Dejecto wearing off too soon.

So he would wait.

And the moment he felt the shield drop, he’d down the whole bowl and begin his escape.

[im-totally-not-an-alien-2]

Danny had always wanted a brother...but not like this! And not so many either!

It had started when he was fighting Desiree. Everything was normal-well, as normal as fighting an undead genie could get-and then a kid fell out of a portal onto the rooftop next to them.

They both looked over at the kid as he picked himself up. Danny glared at the genie and she held her hands up in a placating gesture, "I swear it wasn't me this time." Judging by how she seemed just as baffled by the situation as him, he believed her.

The kid stared at them through the white outs of his mask. Danny stared down at him and yep. That was a superhero outfit. Complete with mask and cape. He quickly souped Desiree before she could pull anything and floated down to the kid, "Hey buddy-" he yelped and jumped out of the way of the kids sword.

Why does he have a sword?!

The kid didn't seem responsive to anything Danny was saying and Danny spent the next few minutes just dodging sword swipes until he managed to restrain him with one of his parents inventions and brought him home to FentonWorks and changed back into a human (away from the kids line of sight of course)

His friends were a bit shocked that he came home with a living person and he had to explain what happened while Stabby tried to wiggle out of his bonds.

That was when his parents walked in.

Danny had to retell them an altered version of the story from before and they began examining him. The kid was practically feral before his dad exclaimed, "I know!" And ran to the fridge and pulled out some of the Fenton Fudge.

He ran back over and popped it into the kids mouth before anyone could stop him. Everyone just stared as the kid calmed down, looking at them with confusion and wonder as the fudge melted in his mouth.

Aka Danny keeps getting Damian clones via portal delivery and his family keeps taming them with Fenton Fudge and adopting them. The League of Assassins have no idea where all thier clones are disappearing to...

[books-not-people]

AU where when Danny first got in the portal for the picture jazz being the protective older sister she is and knowing her parents "lab safety" she goes in with Danny and when he trips her immediate thought was to save him from falling in the danger trap she considered the portal and they both become halfas que the canon ghost shenanigans but add protect younger siblings obsessed jazz being a absolute nightmare standing behind Danny the hole time just daring someone to go after team phantom and any time they do they immediately regret as they have angered the older sibling and mercy is not an option.

When pariah dark happens they team up to own him no suit required and jazz and Danny become sibling rulers of the realms.

Somehow their parents find out and go mad scientist on them jazz is 18 in this so says fuck you takes Danny and as the nature secretly petty as shit just calls CPS and takes Danny and sues her parents for child support.

They + Sam & Tucker (because they can convince Tucker's parents it will be good for his future tech career and Sam just tells her parents she's going to stay with her dads side of the family(the drakes)) go to Gotham because no GIW unlike Amity and is ecto rich I also imagine that both are on their way to becoming Ancients of space (Danny) and as odd as it seems older siblings(jazz) they are confused at first until it's explained that the belief of the love and protections that older siblings are some of the most protective and also mischievous towards their younger siblings has built up to for an ancient and jazz just happened to become that ancient.

Que jazz helping college students in the Gotham U library study when they miss their older siblings help like when they where growing up and just being a protection spirit but to siblings in particular. This becomes super annoying when the bats and the birds start setting off her instincts after joker escapes and she can only relax after beating the shit out of him with the anti-creep stick in front of red hood who promptly falls in love with her much to the annoyance of Danny who was already secretly dating tim and meeting at the local coffee shop and ordering their coffee

Feel free to add your own ideas and if anyone writes it please send me a link or title I would love to support your story💖

so i have opinions on certain characters but

poly jack and maddie getting with bruce

vlad is so mad

Tim walked into the dining room only to freeze upon seeing a strange couple with some teenagers there. Damian was sitting at the table, looking like he'd been hit by a car, staring at Bruce.

"Tim," Bruce said upon seeing him. He gave an actual Bruce smile, not the vapid Brucie one that caused sudden urges to smack him.

"Bruce," Tim said slowly. He moved to sit at the table cautiously. He glanced at the couple who were sitting on either side of his father.

"Hello, kiddo!" the red-haired woman chirped. "I'm Maddie, and this is my husband, Jack!" She motioned to the guy who was about twice the size of Bruce and had the perfect Brucie smile on.

Tim had a feeling it was a lot more real than the facade Bruce used.

"I'm Jazz," the teenage girl offered, looking a bit done with everything while the boy next to her looked like he was debating about throwing himself out a window.

"Danny," he introduced himself.

"Maddie and Jack are..." Bruce paused for a second, looking like he was trying to explain. "My partners. We decided to... introduce our kids to each other."

Tim stared at them and glanced at Damian, who still stared in shock. "Oh." was all Tim could say.

What else could you say to that?

"We're moving to Gotham soon," Maddie said casually. "Not here, much too soon, and we have money, so we were thinking about buying your old house since it's big enough for our lab. Is that okay with you?"

"Only if you exorcise it," were the first words Tim said, the boy still shocked. He winced at his own words while the couple and Bruce laughed.

"We're Ecto-Biologists," Jack said. "We've been working with the Justice League concerning the ecto-entities seen more commonly nowadays. We can handle an exorcism."

Tim just nodded, confused and a bit out of his depth. Well, it wouldn't be dull with them around, he mused.

(A week later, as he blasts some vampire-wannabe ghost screaming about Maddie being HIS and Daniel being HIS son, he has to agree with that assessment.)

Fenton soulmark family curse broke

TW: Angst, after so many years to finally have a soul mark! And to learn you have a other part of yourself. Is painful for them.

The Fenton family and bloodline have been cursed since the time of John Fentonightingale because they can never find their soul mark or their soul mates can find them.

Well, Fenton did it the Fenton way, not caring about it. It's a crazy idea, as most people search for their soul mates, so they are seen as more crazy.

They didn't really ever think of the other part of their soul mate, if they would search for their soul mate and something similar but could never find them.

It had been pure luck that Maddie and Jack had been soulmates, even without knowing about it.

So. As Danny found out about Soulmates Sam and Tucker, he was super happy for both. And joked about what the food would be at their wedding—vegan or just meat cake?

And 1 wish for him to find his soul mate too, with Desiree's help. The curse that was passed down through John Fentonightingale's descendants broke. Desiree got pretty weak from what had been a strong curse.

That was how Jazz, Danny, Dani, and Jack got the same soul mark as their other half.

Jack's soul mate was Maddie, so pretty easy.

Danny is Power Girl/Supergirl. Who was very surprised to finally have a soul mark? After all, all their lives, they never once had a soul mark, and now suddenly they have one! (Maybe Karen looked at her younger self; this never happened! She never got her soul mark in all the time, and now she and Kara have one.)

Jazz Soul Mate can be Aqualad or similar.

Dani's soul mate is a other clone, Respawn. Who thought he didn't have a soul mate as a clone? But man, he had one. Lead to him and Deathstroke searching for his soul mate.

[laxxarian]

The Fentons Secret

Maddie and Jack had a secret that they couldn't tell their kids, it was a secret that they thought the kids wouldn't accept.

It was the fact that Jack Fenton had the bloodline of an alien, Jack wasn't from around here and Maddie knew that. Jack's whole life and their family was to get back to their planet after their ancestors got lost in space but the Earth's technology was too outdated. But there was another way, all Maddie wanted was to help her husband since she knew that Jack's race had an obsession with home and that way was through the ghost zone.

The ghost zone had entries of other planets and dimensions, they were all connected to one. And since they didn't want the kids to know, they had to disguise this obsession of the ghost zone to want to hunt ghosts when in reality it was to get an entry way back to Jack's family home planet.

And when Danny revealed that he was Phantom in the end, they were saddened by the words and phrases they had used when they were near him. So, the Fentons had to reveal their secrets too.

"No more secrets." The family said.

[demonic0angel]

Batman laughing at all the unrelated to him drama going on at a super parent support group makes a lot of sense.

He's having a great time watching Clark get roasted for his parenting skills XD (he won't be laughing later). Tim, Damian, and Dick are cheering in the background whenever the counselor speaks up for Konner.

[welcometosasakiworld]

DPXDC prompt #51

Maddie and Jack are horrified of themselves after finding out they were basically hunting their own son and their grandchildren.

So after a lot of guilt, talking, and tears, they send Danny, Ellie and Dan to stay with their friend so they could redo the house safety system, Diana Prince.

[on-the-clear-blue]

Little idea wiggling about in my brain...

So like *holds Danny and Billy up by the scruff of their shirts* these two bastards won't leave my brain, and for punishment I will make them kiss...

Just, the Rock of eternity technically is Shazam's (the wizards) haunt? He has been dead for a long time, living only though his champion, what if Ghost King Danny gets slapped with a post it note that reads like

"Daniel, you're required to assist the Champion of Magic as the High King of the Realms, even Pariah helped the previous Champion Black Adam."

And Danny is like, "Sure, why not, Magic is real and so are ghosts."

And like....

Sparky Danny meeting Literal Sun Beam Billy, they are both 14, it's puppy love at its finest. Danny doesn't know what to do with gay panic and Billy is just straight up "This man is my soul mate, he shall be mine." (Call iy Zeus bestowing more than just lightning)

The leauge is very concerned why Captain Marvel seems to have a seeming underage partner.

Superman squinting very hard and trying to figure this out: So...just how old is Phantom?

Billy, unaware how bad this looks: Oh I don't know honestly, it's kinda hard to tell with beings from the Realms! Though he died when he was 14!

Superman, gripping the table (which cracks a little) :And how exactly long has he been 14?

Billy, taking out his phone and flipping out pictures: Like I said, I don't really know how old he is, but there is Egyptain hieroglyphics of him! Look!

Superman, blinking at the very real looking pictures: Ahh. Fun cool cool cool...a-and how are you again Cap?

Billy mindlessly swiping the photos, excited to show off his boyfriend:Never said it, but he is definitely older than I am.

(Danny is older by a month, Billy calls him an old man for it.)

Billy gets to live full time in Danny's haunt in the Zone, Danny built him like the best house, Tucker and Sam get to meet Billy and they just are flabbergasted that Danny "I can't get a girl to date me or else she ends up wanting to kill me" Fenton has a boyfriend that has been going steady for a few months.

My brain sees like, Maddie and Jack are 100% backing Danny, they are fully supportive of their bi/gay/pan son, but in no way would they support him if he was a ghost, like they are organizing Amitys first ever Pride parade, but there is a shoot ghosts on sight order.

And just the reveal is like...

Danny gets finally tells them he is a ghost: if you start shooting me, your shooting the only Gay person you know, not very ally of you mom and Dad.

Maddie mouth open in horror: Oh no...Jack are...are we homophobic?

Jack sharing her look of fear: Great Scott...Dann-o a-are you sure...its...it's a life style right? Y-you chose this?

Danny, trying very, very hard not to laugh: It's not a life style dad! I didn't choose to Die!

Anyway, thank you for coming to my brain word vomit, I haven't slept in 20 hours.

[deadsetobsessions]

“I ate paint once,” Danny nonchalantly threw out in the middle of game night.

The entire table stopped. Heads whipped towards Danny.

“Yeah, me too. Cardamom yellow was my favorite. Ugly as hell but the chemicals just tasted right.” Tim replied, using the distraction to nab some of Bruce’s money. Monopoly money, that is. Everyone’s heads snapped towards Tim, only Cass and Danny (who was part of the scheme) caught him cheating.

“Really? I think mine was those spray can blue cosmos paint. But that might have been more my thing for space than the actual taste.”

“WHY WERE YOU EATING PAINT?!” Dick asked, looking like he wanted to lunge over the table and shake Danny until he puked out paint. Bruce looked like he was about to have a heart attack.

“Yeah, what the fuck, Tim?” Jason snickered.

“In my defense,” Danny grinned. “I was left unsupervised. Also, Steph, you owe me $24 in rent.”

“Ugh! I’m almost out of money! Can’t you loan me some, Alfred?”

“I am sorry, Miss Stephanie, you are not qualified for another loan. In fact, one of your properties is about to be confiscated as per the collateral agreement.”

“Noooo!” Stephanie made dramatic dying noises.

“What was your excuse, Timothy?” Damian asked, eyes glued to the board and determined to win the game.

“Hey, I was probably less supervised than Danny was.”

“Yeah,” Danny perked up. “My parents brought us down to their lab all of the time. Taught us a lot of stuff.”

“Really? Like what?” Duke asked, casually slapping away Tim’s sneaky hands.

“Oh, like what a rocket launcher sounded like up close! And how to build a laser gun! Oh! And what human organs looked like when they’re fresh!” Danny chirped, collecting his money from a stunned Stephanie’s hands. He looked up.

“Oh, don’t worry! I at least learned what not to do when it comes to lab safety. And we wore hazmat suits to protect ourselves from the radiation.” Danny smiled in a ditzy fashion as the table fell silent in a horrified manner. Cass tapped his arm amusedly, but allowed his bullshit to stand. After all, it’s not like he lied.

“Radiation?” Duck’s voice raised a couple of octaves. Oh yeah, Danny’s going to laugh about that pitch for a long while.

“Organs?!” Jason’s hands closed around the plastic house he was holding rather forcefully.

“Do you even know what basic lab safety practices are, Danny?” Damian demanded, finally looking up with brows furrowed. He rolled the dice and grabbed a mystery card. He gets $100 from Alfred.

“How old were you??” Duke asked.

“Like… 8, when they first brought me in?”

“Eight.” Bruce rumbled, slipping into a more Batman like persona. When Danny sent him a confused look, Bruce straightened back into his Bruce persona. “Wow, they must have trusted you a lot!”

“Sure?”

“What were their names again?” Stephanie asked sweetly, Cass nodding at him.

“Jack and Maddie Fenton.” Not that they’ll find them here, considering his parents are dead and in another universe.

“Cool, cool, cool!” Stephanie blinked, beaming as her hands formed lethal fists underneath the table.

Danny blinked and tilted his head in an unassuming way, pretending like he had no idea what Stephanie was thinking of. He sneakily handed over $600 to Cass in order to complete his monopoly on his side of the board.

Danny stood up and spread his hands out, one hand clutching his new found victory.

"Well, lady and gents, you've all been floundering against the inevitable tide of capitalism. I am here, as a reminder that you can never win against the hopelessness that will be your financial ruin! I, Danny Fenton, have obtained a quarter of the board and therefore have won against even your best efforts!" He cackled, holding up his fan of properties triumphantly. He shot a mischievous grin at Cass, who held up a solemn thumbs up in support for his monetary takeover.

"... Danny, are you... planning on a career in villainy?" Bruce asked, after a brief and total wave of shocked silence. Damian looked like he was having a conniption at having been bested, unknowingly. Yeah, Danny was disarming like that.

"Yeah, that was concerning." Tim piped up, nabbing a ten from a shell-shocked Damian.

"Hey! The Riddler gives surprisingly good monologues! And he's really loud, so it's hard not to pick up on things. Duke, your turn." Danny sat back down, pouting. The villainy comment was a little too close to his fears.

"Damn it." Duke, who had rolled, landed smack middle of Danny's territory. He handed over a sheaf of bills to a grinning Danny.

"Wait a minute! You have cheated!" Damian bolted upwards from his seat, finally done running through the purchases he remembered Danny making. "You acquired that property not within the games' rules!"

"Okay, first of all, the rule book is a suggestion, like lab safety rules," Danny saw the others open their mouths to protest, but he quickly shut it down. "Second, there's totally no rules about selling and buying places from a private owner so suck on it. And thirdly? Cass sold it to me, so you all can take it up with her."

"Diabolical!" Damian muttered indignantly.

"... Dammit." Dick sighed, falling back into the chair and balancing on its two legs. He couldn't say anything, considering his current of bankruptcy.

"Danny. Danny, I'll buy a property from you." Jason said, eyeing one of Danny's other properties near his own cluster.

"What do you have that would interest me?" Danny asked, falling back into his Vlad-like imitation.

"Ew, don't do that," Steph reached over to jab him in the arm.

"Yeah, Jason, what do you have?" Duke said, the lovely subtle instigator that he is.

"Red Hood's signature."

The others blue-screen, gaping at the actual audacity Jason had to offer up something that would take him no effort. Danny, prepared with a poker face that came with lying straight to Jazz's ever perceptive eyes about whether he nabbed the last of her ice cream or not, was prepared.

"Red Hood? The condom guy working out of the... um. Upper East Side?" Danny asked, pretending to hesitate. He knows where Jason operated. That doesn't mean he couldn't simply pretend otherwise. For science, of course.

...

...

...

The table howled with laughter, Jason's indignant spluttering unable to say anything against Danny's wide eyed look of innocence. Cass leaned against the table, chuckles falling out of her mouth and eyes crinkled in mirth. Dick had fallen out of his chair, helplessly wheezing on the floor. Duke is hiding his face in his hands, mirroring Bruce's pose as they both shake from silent laughter. Damian is smirking, wicked and sharp as he smugly stared at Jason. Stephanie and Tim are leaning against each other, repeating "the CONDOM GUY" in alternating and increasingly louder voices. Alfred had a smile on his face and a tight grip on the bills in front of him that betrayed his amusement.

"He's a crime lord!" Jason exclaimed, indignant.

"Uh, okay. Well, I mean, why would I want a crime lord's signature? I don't want to be on his radar. Or echolocation or whatever. He's... a Bat, right? That's what you guys call that group, yeah?"

"How do you know the Rogues better than the vigilantes?!" Jason glared at his unhelpful family. Those assholes better prepare for a load of rubber bullets the next time they're on patrol near Crime Alley.

"Hey, it's not my fault the vigilantes here are unsociable. Maybe if they monologued more, I'd know who they are."

"Wouldn't- wouldn't that make them more villain like?" Tim asked, stuttering from his laughter.

"I dunno?" Danny replied, enjoying his the family's unabashed joy. "I mean, they're pretty legit and they help people already so I guess they don't need to be sociable... but still I swear I haven't heard anything about Batman other than that he grunts and is mean towards criminals."

Is mean towards criminals, Duke mouthed at a recovering Dick who was in the process of heaving himself back up. It sent him careening back down to the floor with restrained giggles. Cass tapped Danny, reminding him to eat some food.

"Tt. Of course not. They're efficient at their jobs and have no need to be seen as welcoming to criminals." Damian puffed up.

"Yeah, but they've gotta feel safe, right?" Danny shrugged as he plucked a cookie from the cookie platter. "The... one with the sword, what was it?"

"Robin." Damian supplied, eyes narrowed and trained on him.

"Yeah, the baby bird. The kids think his swords are cool so they trust him. But like, the others? The flippy blue one? Not so much."

"Wait," Dick said from the floor. "They don't trust Nightwing?"

"Nah, they trust him to protect them, but he has a history of bringing the kids to the police, you know?"

"What's wrong with that?"

Danny shrugged. "ACAB. But also because everybody knows that half the guys in the GCPD and CPS are child traffickers."

"Wait, what?" Jason and Tim straightened.

Bruce piped in, the emotional whiplash of amusement to concern to amusement to concern visibly making itself known on the man's baffled face. "I thought Batman and Commissioner Gordon took care of that?"

"Sure, the obvious ones." Danny hesitated. Well, he's pretty sure they think he's a meta so... "There's... a meta trafficking ring that they're a part of. That's. That's kind of what I was running from."

Danny looked up pleadingly. Cass placed a hand on his arm in comfort, not knowing that he was fibbing about running from them.

Danny was on the streets helping his own Alley metas to run from them.

Danny is as feral as she was, and that meant he could hide just as much as she could read off of him. Cass was the best and he felt kind of bad about lying to her, successfully or not.

"Uh. Some people said you know Batman, Bruce. I know- uh, that might not be the case but if you do, could you ask him to look into it?" Danny made his eyes tear up. "And maybe he wouldn't care about me much, I mean, I know he doesn't really like metas but if he helps out, I could totally like, leave the city once the kids are safe, promise."

Ooh, Danny put a little too much sincerity into that. He could practically hear the hearts breaking in the game room as everyone glared at Bruce.

"You won't have to leave."

"... Promise?" And Danny's voice was a little too desperate, too hopeful, because Bruce's eyes tugged down in sadness.

"Promise." He rumbled, all Bruce Wayne and all Batman. Danny's core warmed. Danny also saw the rest of the family's faces darken in pure agreement. And partial wrath.

"Yeah! We'll kick Batman's ass if he even thought about kicking you out!" Stephanie proclaimed.

"He's far more proficient in combat than you are, Brown." Damian immediately leapt to Batman's defense and that was that.

Well, later, as Danny was "sleeping" and Phantom was hovering in the cave, invisible and intangible, he got confirmation that his Alley meta kids were going to be safe, soon.

After all, the entire Batclan was suiting up and baying for blood, with Oracle's all encompassing presence behind them, fingers reaching for their enemies' weak points.

• ✨misunderstandings✨

• ✨ghost culture✨ gimme more of that morbid culture!!!

• Court of Owls shenanigans. but mostly crack and various ways to make the owls regret existing and give talons rehabilitation

• Wes Weston

• Amity parkers being nice to Phantom and outsiders misunderstandings about it (a funeral for Phantom, just off handed comments about gifts on the grave or similar things so outsiders think he's dead-dead while the 'Parkers are oblivious or being shits on purpose)

• Amity park being morbid as norm

• Ectoplasm registering as radioactive but being functionally harmless unless injested(my non liminal)

DCXDP fanfic idea: You ARE the Father.

Clark Kent gets a call from his old high school situationship. Really, he liked her well enough, but both had agreed they did not want to stay stuck in Smallville forever.

Clark wanted to go to the big city for journalism, and Maddie wanted to go into the sciences - she was unsure if she wanted to do organic chemistry or engineering. His parents supported his dream, Maddie's....not so much.

While she did come from a family of intelligent women, the Paynes believed they should stay on the family farm to support the family. They could not understand why Maddie wanted to be strong and independent woman if all that would bring her was dying alone.

According to them, no man wanted a disobent wife. She argued too much with men and often wouldn't back down from her stance.

Apparently, that made her "unlady" like.

Clark never saw it. Personally, he thought women with backbone, who wouldn't take anyone shit, was insanely attractive. That's why he had approached her at the local science fair where she was steaming by her impressive solar energy powered homemade phone.

Her mother had just finished reminding her that her first place in a small high school fair was nothing to be proud of. It was, after all, only Smallville, and really, there wasn't much competition anyway.

Clark told her that she was likely the smartest person in their entire state and he was in awe by her. Maddie kissed him behind the gym the science fair was being held.

Her family forbade her from dating, which made the kiss somehow more exciting.

They met up regularly to sneak kisses or lend a sympathetic ear. Around their last year of high school, they went a little further then kisses, and really the Kent Barn is not the most comfortable place but it was hidden well enough her family wouldn't know what she was up to and Ma wouldn't question him spending the night there.

All the years of sleeping near the cows to keep them company, since he worried they were lonely, as a child paid off. Despite the numerous times they put Kent barn to work, both knew it was nothing serious.

Maddie needed a break from her family. Clark was more than happy to be her stress relief. He did worry a aweful lot about his powers and the fact he was an alien, so he needed some stress relieving of his own around those years too.

Maddie applied secretly to a big college on the Wayne Scholarship states away, and Clark planned on going to Metropolis as soon as possible for the open intership at the Daily Planet.

They were friends with benefits, but the day graduation came around, they never spoke to each other again. Neither were bitter. They had both known what would be the ending long before it arrived. It would have never worked between them.

Clark wasn't sure what Maddie had wanted after all these years, but being presented a teenage girl- the splitting image of Maddie at that age- who was flouting five feet off the ground was not one of them.

"Jazz, meet Clark Kent, you biological father" Maddie Fenton, for she was married now to the man who had raised Jazz like his own. "Clark, this is Jasmine Fenton...you're daughter"

The man of Steel felt like he's was going to faint.

Or.......

Maddie met Jack in her first semester of college. They get alone really well, and she finds herself with a pregnancy scare before she knows what happened. Sometime between the protrype portal and Jack treating her like an equal, she had found her walls coming down long enough to have a little fun.

The worst part is she is unsure of who the father is, the loveable goof she can see herself spending her life with or the kind gentle famer boy she left behind. It's only two months apart, but it was close enough it could go either way.

She tells Jack the truth, who declares that he doesn't care and gets down on one knee right there and then. Maddie agrees to marry him over the choked tears, blooming happiness and love so strong she feels dizzy from it.

A few months later, she gives birth to her Jazz, and two years later, she has Danny. The Fentons finish school, set up Fenton Works, and raise their family. She never considers telling Clark or getting Jazz tested.

She's Jack Fenton's daughter. That's all there is to it.

Until Jazz one day starts showing signs that Jack is not her father. How does Maddie know? Simple, she recognized the man flying around calling himself Superman, and after hearing of his home planet, and all the little things Clark had been too clumsy to properly cover up back in the day, it clicks.

Her daughter is half Kryptonian and her powers were awakening. Did all Kryptonians unlock thier abilities at the teenage age? Was it a puberty thing for thier kind?

Maddie didn't know, but she couldn't afford to let her daighter go in blind. Metas had tough lives. Who knows what being part alien could do. So she picked up the phone and dialed the man who may have the answers.

Meanwhile, Danny and Jazz are desperately trying to hide the fact that Jazz may have gotten some ghost abilities due to exposure from Phantom's Ghostly Wail and have no idea it's being confused for Kryptonian blood. They were careless in training, and now, similar to that whole fiasco with Spetra and her hospital, Jazz was unable to control her temporary abilities.

Jack is just happy to be there and is unaware of any of his family members' delimas.

Jack and Maddie trying to get advice on the homeless, feral preteen they picked up is very sweet!
