the disappearance of whitney byrd: part 2 (spoilers) part 1
warning: this story involves multiple heavy topics
earlier that day whitney was with her boyfriend tommy, they stole wine from a convenience store and he gave her a handful of xanax before dropping her off at her house. he knew the stress she felt over hiding her pregnancy from her grandma was overwhelming, so he was just trying to help. the baby would probably be fine, his mom did worse things when she was pregnant and he turned out okay.
may 05, 2022
whitney had a million questions circling around in her mind, but the only thing she could get out was a quiet
“why’d you leave me?”
her mom didn’t respond, she wouldn’t even look her in the eye. something wasn’t right - a feeling of warmth and uneasiness washed over whitney, nothing felt real. before walking to the park she popped one of the bars tommy gave her and washed it down with half the bottle. as she was waiting for her mom to say something, she started getting dizzy. she didn’t notice the man in a hoodie and gloves behind her until he pulled her off the swing and onto the ground.
whitney looked up at the man, he wasn’t a stranger - even though her vision was blurry she knew exactly who he was. she thought if she were to ever be in this situation she’d put up a fight, scream, do anything she could to get away… but she was paralyzed by fear. maybe the sober her could’ve done more, it was too late though. even if she tried to run, she’d be too slow. the man forcefully pushed her head into the sand, got close to her face and calmly whispered
“scream and i’ll bury the both of you together.”
the dizziness was getting worse and her breathing started to get shallow. she nodded her head and closed her eyes, trying to imagine that this wasn’t really happening as she slipped into unconsciousness.
the man picked whitney up and threw her over his shoulder, slowly walking out of the park.
woman: you didn’t have to go and be so rough with her

Danny reincarnates into a test tube, with a grief-stricken Timothy Drake staring at him in shock.
The 100th cloning attempt worked.
Danny, having been dead for a very long time, decided to reincarnate, because I love that trope.
He reincarnated into the clone baby of Kon that Tim was trying to make. But Tim couldn't ever get over the hurdle that kept making the clones inviable, so the 100th was just half his DNA and half Kon's.
Danny is the son of a teenage father, who is grieving the death of his other father, and apparently a lot of other people if the ghosts surrounding the teen hero have anything to say.
Danny had reincarnated for a go at a lazy, nice life. Just relive being mortal for a bit.
Instead, he's kidnapped by Ra's Al Ghul to force Red Robin to take care of the Council of Spiders.

I can’t believe Gideon and Harrow had like 3 weeks of something approximating fun before experiencing 2 solid years of endless suffering 😭 lemme tell you, nothing could’ve prepared me for that or the realization that post book 1 these poor fuckers just never get to spend any time together, I miss the old days of One Flesh One End Bitch!!!!! We had it so good and we didn’t even know it

Escaped clone au
You know all those fics where Danny and Damian are twins but everyone first assumes Danny must be a clone? How about an au where Danny is Damian's clone who escaped the League after he was assumed dead. Damian could even have been the one to have "killed" him, back when Danny was a newly created, fully brainwashed clone minion and trying to kill Damian himself.
Danny gets adopted by the Fentons and canon goes on as normal, until Dan. Witnessing what would happen to the world should he turn evil really drove home to Danny how dangerous he is.
Even if he was confident he could be trusted with his absurd amount of power (which he isn't), what if the League of Assassins found out about him? Does he still have programming triggers from his evil assassin clone conditioning?
So, Danny does the responsible thing: he goes to Batman to turn himself in.
Cue Danny showing up on Bruce's doorstep with ghost hunting equipment, intel on the afterlife, and an almost unbelievable backstory. Somehow he still managed to be more well-adjusted than Damian.
More thoughts under the read more
Here's how I'm thinking Danny leaving the League went down:
After surviving his wounds but failing his mission, Danny (then an unnamed potential Damian replacement) knew there was no point in returning to the League. As a failure, he was meant to be disposed of. He even thought of simply allowing himself to perish, since that was what the League would do.
But he couldn't help but feel as though that would be a waste of a resource. Surely he could be of more use to the League alive than dead?
That tiny bit of rebellious logic is what caused Danny to go into hiding, only living on based on the off chance he would find opportunities to further the League's goals. Obviously, that mentality didn't last long after being exposed to the real world and meeting one Jazz Fenton.
Being adopted by the Fentons was the best cover Danny could have asked for, since any odd behavior he couldn't hide while he was learning how to be "normal" was totally overshadowed by the sheer bizarre eccentricity of his new parents. He was still the neighborhood weird kid, but even that was a major upgrade from disposable tool, so Danny considered it a win.
Anyway, if anyone likes this idea, please feel free to have at it! Interpret it as you please :)
