Damian being slowly won over by the fact he isn't expected to 'fix himself' or change his demeanour so long as he is respectful to others. Like, he can be feral as he wants so long as he doesn't stab allies? Nice. Mother.... Why did you not marry this man?

When Jason and Damien hear her explanation as to why she had to break up with him, they made a pact with one goal in mind.

Get rid of Ra's Al Ghul.

If they can get rid of Ra's, then Talia can be with the man of her dreams and both Damian and Jason will get the greatest step-father known to man.

If what Danny and Talia had was a Hallmark Movie, Jason and Damian would have a Buddy Cop Movie on their journey to kill Ra's

gildedphoenix

Jason and Damian deserve this. They need to just go off on their own, while the adults are flirting. Just leave them there with some vaguely inconvenient plot device that makes them unable to leave and follow immediately. Very Hallmark movie. Smash cut to Jason and Damien jumping out of an airplane over Nanda parbat, just thrill-seeker, head first, diving through the air, cheeks flapping, whooping in excitement.

I can just imagine these two stories cutting back and forth, like someone watching a TV but can't decide which movie to watch.

In the end, Jason and Damian walk back into Danny's coffee shop, each carrying a duffle bag full of assassins' heads and a smoothie.

Talia asks, "whatcha got there"

bianca-hooks123

Yes!!! Two step dads!! Dick is gonna be thrilled, he loves Clark!

kashlyn

I do enjoy the idea of Danny and Talia having a hallmark movie special. With Bruce as their unintentional wing man. while Jason, Damian and Tim? Action movie baby! Ra's ain't gonna know what hit him!

babbling-babull

Love the fact that this implies the female part of the Batfam+Duke are completely unaware of thus happening, cause they in Gotham

The men have all tucked off to parts unknown and left the women in charge. Babs, Steph, Kate and Cass are fine with this.

The rogues and thugs of Gotham? Would like the man back please! The women are so much worse! Where is the holder of the morals!!

brain-deadx0

The end of the movie after everything works out someone offhandedly wonders how the girls were doing back in Gotham.

Cut to the four of them having a happy chat while goons tremble in fear practically praying for Batman to come back

They do get invited to the wedding of course. Which is how they find out about Talia of all people having 'the one that got away'. And that Ra's is now dead.

Some rando: You should think about stopping your prescription

Me: My pills make me not want to die tho

They: You shouldn’t want to die, that’s not normal

Me: Yeah that’s why I’m taking my pills

Again: But you aren’t the *real* you when you’re on your pills

Me: I’m the alive version of me

An actual doctor, once: “Relying On A Chemical Crutch For A Hormonal Imbalance Denies The Fortitude Of The Human Soul”

Me: Cool so like I’m agnostic

They: “But you might be on pills the rest of your life!”

Me: “So?”

Good! That means that I have a “rest of” my life to continue living!

Thanks to the pills.

Meanwhile, no person ever: “You should think about giving up your insulin/antiretrovirals/beta blockers/anti-rejection drugs/prosthetic legs/daily multivitamin, because using those your whole life is bad for some reason”

Oh no, they do that too.

I have a kidney transplant. A woman once told me she didn’t believe in organ transplants and that people should just die when they’re meant to.

Sounds like a great set-up for a murder

People who are fully healthy, fit and neurotypical seem to think they are that way because they’re doing something right that the rest of us haven’t thought of, and not just because they got lucky

Speaking of the luck of the non-disabled…I once terrorized a Karen who was using me to teach her entitled kid that disabled people are Other and should not be treated with respect. I told her (truthfully) that until I was twenty-eight, I wasn’t visibly disabled. Then a defective chromosome that I hadn’t known about kicked in. So my luck ran out. But until then, I had been normal–just…like…her.

The sheer terror on her face as the concept of “You mean I’ve just been lucky so far?” seeped into her brain was a thing of beauty.

“You are one stroke of bad luck, common viral illness, or traumatic event away from being just like me” is honestly the most terrifying thing you can tell an abled person - and you should. I was healthy and fit and doing everything ‘right’ too - right up until some inner switch flipped and my body crumbled right out from under me.

i-need-glitter

I was fully healthy until November of 2019. Then I got what I thought was food poisoning. Turned out to be a bad viral infection that could have and nearly did kill me

More than halfway into 2023 I am just now correcting the vitamin imbalances being that gravely sick caused and I will probably never be able to religiously fast again.

I will have to eat a more aware diet. I can’t have acidic foods and drinks by themselves any more. I was lucky and then I wasn’t

Spoiler alert: adulthood is 96% of you going “well, I hope this is how it works and I’ll keep doing it till someone yells at me”

I like these posts because you read them as a teenager and you think, ‘surely these people are blowing it out of proportion’

AND THEN YOU REACH ADULTHOOD

saint-batrick

i am in my 40s and can fully fucking confirm this is a pretty big chunk of adulthood. the rest of it is mostly doing what you’ve figured out you definitely don’t get yelled at for.

bunjywunjy

the other 4% is figuring out ‘did I deserve to get yelled at for this’ and proceeding accordingly

DP x DC prompt where Jazz and Jason have been dating for awhile and she’s managed to keep her past a secret.

Jason doesn’t pry for information; he trusts her and if she wants to tell him then she’ll tell him on her own time.

Only… once Bruce learns about Jazz and tries to do a cursory paranoid background check he finds a lot of missing information and concerning details about Ms. Nightingale, whose original surname was Fenton. He keeps searching until he’s finally found her family– or, what used to be her family.

Jazz’s family home is no longer standing and something dark and grisly happened that resulted in the violent murders of her parents inside that house. The Fenton children were never found following the incident– only one of them is now in Gotham (possibly both).

Jazz somehow realizes that Batman is investigating her and now has to try and hide the fact that she and/or Danny are responsible for the murders of their parents (following them hurting Danny).

She confides this in Jason, not realizing he’s close to Batman and a vigilante himself. Jason jumps at the chance to help her.

iril-the-warlock

I love the takes where Jazz goes off the deep end when it comes to people hurting Danny. She’s absolutely a well mannered, mature, and responsible 16 year old who grew up in a house full of weapons, neglect, and 1 (one) brother to keep alive. Her parents or the giw be dammed if they try to kill him again.

Jazz really went “do you wanna see a real monster?” and didn’t wait for an answer after they hurt Danny, didn’t she?

um. HELL YESS.

Jasmine and Daniel Nightingale. There was always something … off about them. Jason loved his fiancée, but even he had to admit there were some times where his new family … scared him.

At a cursory glance, nothing is amiss. Just two blue-eyed siblings, starting a new life in Gotham City. But then you realize that no one goes to Gotham for a better start, and that despite the smiles and bright eyes, despite Jazz’s education and esteemed position at Arkham Asylum, despite Danny’s bleeding heart and hidden genius, there is something seriously wrong with both siblings.

One look at Danny, and you would assume he is the one you need to keep an eye on.

Batman assumed this first.

Danny is only sixteen, and already, he is six feet tall and still growing. Batman notes that between his sister’s confirmed height of six foot three, and their father’s unconfirmed height of seven feet tall, he still has a long way to go. Danny’s frame is lanky and thin where Jason’s is bulky and muscled, but one glance under his shirt, and you would find hidden wiry muscles. Batman notes that once, when he was frightened, the metal of the fence he was holding bends beneath his bare hands. Aside from his almost supernatural strength, with which he could easily overpower anyone - namely two adults - the kid has a criminal record, and notably is just slightly left of the norm. Batman swears he has seen the kid hiss at bullies, and his eyes glow green. Whatever the kid is, human or not, he is danger just waiting to happen.

All signs point to Danny, until there is a break out at Arkham Asylum, and one Jasmine Nightingale is on shift during the escape. By the end of the night, three goons have both their arms dislocated, one escapee retained a serious spinal injury, two have mental trauma, and one is confirmed dead. Also, Scarecrow is back in his cell - willingly.

This isn’t even factoring in the creepy stories of the Nightingales’ childhood - the impromptu dissections on stuffed animals for fun, regularly reanimated and or poisoned food, and growing up around a highly acidic natural material called ectoplasm.

But when Jasmine Nightingale - Jazz Fenton, as she was formerly known - walks out of Arkham Asylum completely unharmed, with only her hair askew as proof of being in a scuffle, Batman thinks he has his culprit.

And he needs to do something before Jason is next.

And then, for a second, it seemed like maybe we could survive the child, and then, 5 miles under the capital city, an evil homunculus was like, “I have a huge transmutation circle and I’m going to kill everyone to become god!” And before we could say anything, the child was like, “If you even fucking look at Amestris, I will punch you to death with my fists. I dare you to do it. I want you to do it. I want you to do it so I can take my unresolved daddy issues out on you, I’m so fucking crazy.”

Sometimes it’s not a bad thing, just surprising. Like, “Today the child did alchemy without a transmutation circle,” and everyone is like, “Huh, I didn’t know he could do that.”

somethingmissingthiswaycomes

The creepiest days are when you don’t hear from the child at all. Those are the days when everyone is like “I think the child has finally calmed down,” and then the child is like “I just uncovered a government conspiracy. I went in that secret lab and snuck in there with my tiny body. I have a tiny body, but don’t you tell me that, or I’ll fuck you up,” and you’re like “That’s what I thought you’d say, you tiny fucking child.”

And then for a second we’re like “Maybe the government will fire the child,” and the child is like “I have dismantled the government.”

lordgrimoire

Alright a little thing.

It’s not the Justice League that comes to help Danny protect Amity Park after Pariah Dark is felled, well not technically the League.

The new Ghosts that walk the streets, that spar with the living and dead, that haunt the Fenton Portal in such numbers that the town approved an expansion for the Fentons’ Lab. These Ghosts are Kryptonian, Martian, Thanagarian, they Gail from every world with a concept of protection and kindness, they wear the colors and uniforms they served in while alive, whether that be with the crests of Kryptonian houses, Thanagarian warriors, or the Martian Military. They all now bear Phantom’s seal, and it’s during one of Phantoms attempts to get away from Superman somewhere above Pennsylvania that Superman meets one such warrior.

——————————————

The field he follows Phantom into is marred only by the Ghost Boy’s impact crater, he hadn’t meant to hit him that hard but anything less would not have stunned him.

“Surrender Phantom, there’s no where to run.” The boy looks terrified as he scrambled to get up, staggering and falling twice.

“No, no I’m sorry please, just, just leave me alone!” Superman approaches, caution in mind as he closes to get the inhibitor cuffs on Phantom, only for a pair of figures appear between them, the taller one, wearing a HAZMAT suit crouches and collects Phantom while the second stubs Superman.

It’s a soldier of Krypton, with matte white painted armor of a militiaman, and the House of El’s crest displayed on their chest. “What? Who are you?”

The soldier turns, and the helmets sight being focused on him gives him pause. “Will you pursue him?” Superman blinks at the question.

“What? Yes, he needs to come to the Watchtower to- URGH” The soldier was faster, Clark realized, faster and better trained. Before Clark could even argue he’d been thrown hard enough to break the sound barrier, and when he twisted in the air, trying to recover, he was smashed again, and he realized they had flown out over the Atlantic.

Who was this guy?

As Superman turned to face the direction he’d last been hit from he noticed that the Soldier hadn’t followed, he was gone, but in his last place was a fluorescent green balloon with a box tied to it. When Clark opened that box on the ground it had two items in it, a patch, obviously a military one from Krypton, and a note.

[Leave the boy be Kal-El, we dead do not take kindly to him being harassed by a government that wants him vivisected]

Clark knew one thing, he had to bring this to the League, and tell them of the Soldier.

I hope @lordgrimoire doesn't mind I take this and run

----

The next to arrive were Wonderwoman and Martian Manhunter. They chased him through the streets of Amity, Manhunter proving a challenge as he phased right through things as Phantom did, the Amazon merely jumping or flying over buildings if needed.

As the chase went on, Phantom got more erratic, tossing out more green blasts of energy.

"He's getting more violent!" Diana called out, both to her comm and to Manhunter. She took out her lasso, trying to capture the ghost, wanting him to stop his terrorizing ways.

J'onn let loose his heat rays, finally getting the creature across the back. He cried out falling fast into the pavement. When the Martian reached out to his mind, it was unlike anything he felt. A presence seemed wrapped around it, echoing and seeming to be a cold, vast expanse. It had a different way of thinking and was old from what J'onn could feel. The thing seemed to notice its probing and lashed out. 'Mine, miNE, MINE! I have claimed him since he stepped foot into my Realm and I will not let him be taken from me again!' With a cacophony of noise like thousands of screams of the dead, J'onn was thrown from the ghosts mind with a force that sent him flying.

"MANHUNTER!" Diana called out, turning slightly to see where he landed and if he was okay.

"I'm fine Wonder Woman," J'onn called back, carefully getting to his feet, "he seems to have something protecting his mind and it lashed out."

In that moment that Diana turned, figures phased through the ground, forming a wall blocking Phantom from the two Leaguers. When Diana and J'onn turned back, their eyes widened. There was a long line of Amazons forming an interlocking shield wall to protect the thing they were trying to arrest. Above them floated a Burning Martian, causing J'onn to get nervous.

Diana looked closer at what were supposed to be her sisters protecting the creature they needed to take in. "Please, sisters-"

"No Wonder Woman. As we have been taken from the eyes of our living gods, we have come under the guidance of that of the dead, Pandora. As Pandora has laid claim over Phantom, and Phantom has been kind in uniting us and protecting us from the Tyrant, we will protect him from you. Be warned Diana, the only reason your mother did not come was to be merciful to your heart. Go and do not come back."

Looking over at J'onn, it seemed like he had the same conversation with the Burning Martian. Both heroes were shaken, but as they hesitated, the Amazons raised their swords and the Martian gathered fire in his fist.

The two fled.

After a long list a long list of heroes had been sent, including and not limited to Hal Jordan getting bodied by past Green Lanterns, telling the League of their warnings of a Ring of Rage possibly turning into indigo, blue, or even a Phantom ring, but if they pushed, it could easily stay red pretty even go towards yellow, ultra violet, or even black. Hal quickly backed off after that.

After Hal Jordan's report, Batman was the one brought in.

His attack was slow and methodical, his birds dropping down and coralling Phantom. He was like a shadow that never disappeared no matter how much light there was.

Oracle called out street names as she tracked the ghosts signature. They could tell the ghost was getting more and more tired. The countless heroes coming to and around Amity to take him in was wearing on his psyche. Each member of the batclan had gotten a few good hits on the thing, but it wasn't meant to be a take down.

The way they got him was entirely human in nature, the long game. And that was what got Phantom. The birds and bats encircled the creature they had been hunting for months now.

Just as Batman knelt to put on the cuffs, Phantom's wrists in his hands, a hand landed on his forearm. It was translucent, but strong. Batman looked down at that hand. He knew that hand. "Thats enough of that, son."

Batman looked up and froze. Those two faces were the faces that haunted his dreams at night, the noise their bodies made as they fell in that alley burned into his mind. His fathers forced calm words towards the mugger and his mothers scream as her husband was shot.

"You haven't done all the research yet, my baby boy. But that's okay, you have time to help another child." The woman said.

Batman stumbled back. In front of him stood the ghosts of his dead parents, as pristine as they were just before their deaths. Thomas and Martha Wayne.

disillusioneddanny

I hope no one minds that I added to this lol.

Danny stood behind the two ghosts who had pretty much taken him in as their own, his hand wrapped in his adopted mothers as his adopted father spoke the Batman. It had been five months of hell as the Justice League continued to hunt him down, the superheroes having been told by the GIW and his par-the Fentons that he was a non-sentient, non-sapient monster that only wanted to cause pain and destruction.

Martha and Thomas had been the ones who had saved Danny when he had been strapped down and sliced open for study. They had seen the tired fourteen year old and hand taken him as their own. They had also been the ones to enlist the help of the martians, the kryptonians, the amazons and so many others to keep the halfa safe. Since Danny was still half human he still needed to reside in the human realm. Only the government and the Justice League were making that much harder than any of the ghosts had anticipated.

“Mar, I’m so tired,” Danny whimpered, resting his forehead against his mothers shoulder.

“It’s okay sweetheart, your father is taking care of it,” Martha told her son, squeezing the teenagers hand tight. Her poor boy had been running and hiding and fighting for so long. She was not going to allow that to happen any longer and now that Thomas had stepped in to talk some sense into their bullheaded son, hopefully their poor baby would get a break from all of this.

Damian Wayne stared at the situation in front of him confused. Who was this man scolding his father like a small child? And why was father just…taking it?

“Batman, who are these people?” He finally asked after noticing the confused looks on his siblings faces.

Bruce looked at his son, face as white as a sheet. “This is Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne,” he whispered looking beyond shaken. “My parents.”

Damian frowned. “But they are-“

“Dead, yes we are dear. As is our son here that you all keep hunting down,” Martha said, pulling the boy close to her. “And we would very much appreciate if you would leave our son alone.”

“Son?”

Red Hood let out a loud guffaw somewhere behind Damian, causing the younger to roll his eyes in annoyance.

“What do you mean son? You have one child,” Damian stated, glaring daggers at the ghost boy they had been sent to capture.

“We adopted Daniel here five months ago,” Thomas said, stepping away from Bruce to rest a hand on the host boys shoulder. “Unfortunately, he has been dubbed a monster by the government, as have we.”

Martha smiled. “We typically do not leave our home in the Infinite Realms but after the Justice League failed to listen to the kryptonians, the martians and the amazons we decided that it would be necessary for us to step in. Danny is a fourteen year old child and you people have been hunting him down as though he’s an animal. Thomas and I realized that Bruce would not take no for an answer unless we were the ones to step in.” She moved her hand to smooth through the boy’s white hair delicately. “Danny, this is your older brother, Bruce. And all of your nieces and nephews. From now on, they won’t be hunting you or try to arrest you. Instead they will be working to dismantle that dreadful ghost investigation ward and arrest those Fentons for their crimes.”

“And while they are working on that, son,” Thomas said, looking straight at Bruce, his eyes narrowed. “Your big brother here will be making sure your living needs are being met and that you are being taken care of when you are not with us. He will also make sure that he and the entire Justice League apologizes for trying to capture you without taking the time to learn the entire story. Isn’t that right, Bruce?”

Bruce stated between the ghosts of his parents and his apparently new younger brother before he nodded his head slowly. “Yes, that’s right… dad,” he said awkwardly.

“Tad and Mar said I could trust you,” Danny said quietly, staring up at Bruce with wide green eyes. Martha stooped down to her sons level and placed her hands on his shoulders.

“You can trust your brother and your niece and nephews. Now show them,” she said gently. Danny gave his mother a nervous look before he nodded. Rings of light surrounded the ghost and once the vigilantes managed to blink away the spots in their vision they were surprised by what stood before them.

A teenager about fourteen, black messy hair and blue eyes the same shade as Bruce’s stood before them. “The name is Danny, Danny Fenton-“

“Wayne,” Thomas said solidly. “Daniel Janus Wayne.”

Danny smiled. “Danny Wayne. It’s uh, it’s nice to meet you.”

I’m adding a prologue

6 months before the JL was called in

Jazz had finally convinced Danny to tell his parents that he was half ghost. Sam and Tucker were on standby in case things went wrong.

Danny was so tired Frostbite had finally told him that he was conceded the prince of the infinite realm and would be crowned at 25. If his Parents or the GIW got him they would be declaring war.

Clockwork and Pandora started to introduce him to other leaders in the zone. If his parents didn’t accept him he would book it into the portal and stay with various leaders until his living half forced him back to the living world.

He had said his goodbyes had a bug-out bag right next to the portal. Jazz squeezed hi shoulder in comfort. “Mom Dad I have something to tell you”

“Hey Danno we were just improving the Fenton peeler now it will strip the skin off a ghost 20 ft away.”

“Hey sweetie what up?”

“Do you remember how the portal didn’t work when you first tried to turn it on and I got shocked?”

“Why of course sweetie that delay reaction gave you the shakes for months we we’re starting to look into specialist after you were banned from lads at school. It luck that you started to get better.”

“The reason that it was a delayed reaction is because the on switch was on the inside and it was turned off. I was showing off for Sam and tried it didn’t just shock me.”

Jack’s eyes crinkled in confusion “but Danny that kind of power would kill you.”

Jazz gave him a final squeeze and went forward to the left a little. Far enough away to get in front of him if needed but out of the way enough to not block their parents view. Sam and Tucker creeped up behind the Dr Fentons ready to restrain or at least impair them.

Danny let the safe feel of ice wash over him as he changed from Fenton to Phantom. “It only managed to half kill me.”

Danny knew as soon as he changed they had rejected him Mo..no Maddie reached for her gun ready to kill him all the way. Da.. no Jack got up to lung and Tucker pounced.

“Danny run!” Jazz knew that she would not be able to hold Maddie for long.

Danny fazed downstairs near the portal and grabbed his bag. He was not surprised even though they accepted him in the reality gauntlet time line he knew that they wouldn’t now.

He didn’t even look back as he entered the portal. Clockwork was waiting for him “I know you can’t tell me much Peepaw but will my human fright be okay?”

“Yes young Prince all is as it should be now come My Friend Lady Gotham is waiting for you.”

Danny followed Clockwork not knowing that he was now on the path to gain new allies getting caught and dissected on his second trip back to the living world to see Red Huntress. He would be hurt and the realms be one strep closer to war but he would get a new set of parents. The two ghost he befriended in Lady Gotham’s court would follow him on his trip and saved him from the Dr. Fentons. He would later learn that Mar and Tad had a living son.

Danny would later lose his shit finding out that BATMAN was now his big brother and he was an Uncle about 6 times over.

sideblog-for-fic-reblogs

Would it take a big lie? Or just "additional to the power set already mentioned, the ectoplasmic being can also create realistic (but ghostly) duplicates of your loved ones or those you consider authority, drawing on your memories, to deter you when it is threatened. This is a wholly instinctual response and does not indicate an ability to reason".

"But they shared information that couldn't come from memories!"

"Clearly the entity has affected your perception. It is not to be trusted."

The JLA failed to do their research or even call in the JLAD. And when they do let's just say the JLAD is pissed at them

chronicallyinsane-fandombitch

Okay I've been lurking in the DP x DC fandom and had an idea I'd like to share.

*throws a handful of deer vertebrae at you*

You know how cat/wolves/lion fight their kits/pups to teach them how to defend themselves? Well ghosts do that too.

Danny having regressed to a somewhat feral ghost state (insert angsty backstory) arrives in the DC universe, sees all these baby heroes (to him) fighting and struggling against some of their foes and goes 'must teach the babies how to fight' and straight up start throwing down (gently by his standards)

Of course the league, batfam, or whoever don't see it like that. So they're fighting this creature with all they got and from their point of view it is not going well.

Eventually it devolves to a point where they are seriously losing and the powerful creature gets to one of them (hero of your choice), fangs at their throat... But it doesn't bite down ?

Instead, the being slightly pinch down before crooning and playfully nudging them with his head. Then he back up and lets his guard open as if saying "okay now your turn to attack :D"

Cue 2 realizations:

-this being is not trying to hurt them and from up close looks awfully like a teenager

-it wasn't fighting at full strength ? how powerful is it really ?

(later, Danny does the almost bite to Jason and ends up spluttering like a cat tasting saltwater and immediately wraps around him like a boa to heal him from the pits)

Garth flies on down to Tim but pauses in his step as an eery sound echoed around every street and building. "I'm sorry did the Devil Ghost Guy just giggle?!"

Tim took a long sip from his thermos looking up at the two clashing figures in the sky. "You heard it the same as I did."

"He's fighting SUPERBOY!"

"Yup."

Garth looks over at Tim utterly baffled. "How are you so calm right now. Did he mind control you or something? Can he mind control people?"

Tim lazily shook his head as he readjusted his position on the concrete rooftop that he was watching the action from. "I mean, not that I know of. They've been at it for two hours now."

"tWO HOURS?"

I could just imagine the JL sitting at a meeting about him and he just pops up like a feral cat. Just like a feral cat he sits on the table and watches them. Without moving, breathing, or blinking.

Now the league gets a little creeped out by this and all up in arms ready to retaliate in case he tries to hurt them, but he just sits there, staring.

By this point every league member/hero on Earth has been defeated by him, so they are all cautious to say the least. The difference this time was that John Constantine was present.

The whole time Danny was play-fighting the heros, John was off world dealing with some typical of magical bullshit. He just gotten back when Batman had pulled him into the meeting room for consulting.

I would like to think Danny didn't know how to speak their language, and therefore couldn't communicate why he was there properly. He also probably just wanted to see how much help these Baby Heros needed before hand. So he was both being feral and conscious of his decisions.

John instantly recognizes Danny, and then proceeds to turn to Batman with a large sigh.

"Your telling me that you have been battling the King of the Dead Child form? What the bloody hell Batman?"

[I mean, I never told them. Their training sucks honestly. Never stand up to any of the Ancients, thats for sure. Ive obly used 20% of my powers and had to reduce them to 1/4 their power. Baby Heros, thats what you are.]

John lit up a cigarette as he deciphered what Danny said to the JL. To say the room was dead silent was an understatement. Batman seemed to be calculating something while observing Danny.

Coming to a decision, Batman looked at John.

"Do you think he could help us improve? Woukd you trust him enough to help us John?"

John seemed to contemplate that for a few seconds, sucking on his cigarette. With a dreary sigh he turned around and looked at Danny.

"Ta be honest with ya, if the King of the Dead is this interested and wants do something about your idiocy, noth'g you can do about it. He's pretty much an eldritch entity made up of the afterlife and the universe. Can't kill him, trap him, or noth'g. Do I trust him? I trust him not to kill ya cuz he doesn't care about your souls like a demon would. That's about it."

The JL and other heros present shared glances with each other as Batman nodded and turned to Danny.

"Well your highness, we need to have a meeting in order to come to an agreement. Can you hold off picking fights with us while we come to a decision?"

Danny grinned, and there was nothing close to being human about it.

britcision

I legally need the ghost tail to do the flicky cat wiggles into that question mark shape when he’s playing with them

Or I will die

Tim probably noticed it first, that along with the other odd not-biting Danny’s making a lot of the same body language a playful cat does

(Bonus retractable claws that Danny flashes to show off but always retracts before a hit lands to great confusion)

They work out quickly that he can’t talk, and while he doesn’t seem to fully understand them he responds to speech with a variety of chirps, giggles, and noises that are fucking eldritch and horrifying but if you play them backwards sounds like purring

Batman wants to come up with training plans but that’s really fucking hard when the other party just tilts their head and chirps at you unless Constantine is there to translate

Bonus? Having Constantine around is helping Danny back out of his feral state

Anti-bonus? Constantine works out extremely quickly that feral Danny has A) been the least dangerous version of Danny ever because he’s operating on instinct, not even thinking, and he STILL kicked their asses without effort

And B) something fucked the goddamn GHOST KING up badly enough to put him in this state and that is Extremely Not Good

(This news upsets Batman greatly since he’s been spending a lot of time with Danny and when he’s not ridiculously large to fight he tends to spend time as a rather small teenaged boy and Bruce can’t handle knowing that he probably died as a kid)

Danny’s semi coherent in ghostspeak when Constantine first returns, and having someone to actually talk back to soon helps him get beyond basic concepts

Never enough to talk about what happened, and Constantine will deadass teleport anyone who tries to push out of the room because See Point B, EXTREMELY BAD NEWS

The teen heroes claim Danny pretty quickly once it’s explained that the teenaged form he defaults to is probably closest to his living form and that makes him theirs, even if he is mentoring the adults

Danny likes hanging out with the kids even if only Raven can understand him, he can chirp back and quickly learns which noises upset them and avoids those

He is also very cuddly once they’re not doing play fights whenever he sees them, and will just go full ghost tail and curl himself around Red Hood’s massive shoulders like the world’s worst fox fur scarf

Red Hood claims he can’t dissuade him and doesn’t like it because he’s a lying son of a bitch who ABSOLUTELY pets Danny when no one is looking

Danny will also pour himself like a liquid over any heroes he decides are His (more than they all are, because these are his babies now) and he has no bones so this can get weirdly literal

Beast Boy loves it, cannot work out how to do it, and will go snake instead for infinicuddles

Danny always matches him in length no matter what size he wants

Danny’s also perfectly happy to play fight them in groups or individually, so he can do the whole team at once or one on ones and always seems equally delighted by their efforts

Dick’s the one who decides to mock-pounce on Danny in just full fucking baby cat style, arms wide and all and Danny fucking rolls straight onto his back to snuggle Dick up

Because a very important part of play fighting with babies: you have to let them “win” sometimes

So early on? They’d think they had Danny on the ropes, he’d make hurt noises and roll around, they’d wonder if they finally found a weakness

(And in a world with the green fucking lanterns, whose weaknesses are “the colour yellow” and “wood”, they tried some fucking stupid stuff but it was all perfectly logical)

And then he’d roll back to his feet, give them a playful bop on the head, and leave

He’d pretend they’d snuck up on him, and that’s extra scary when he fought the teams in the early days because Superman would be doing his best to keep Danny’s full attention so Wonder Woman and someone else could come in for a sneak attack

And by all accounts, Danny would be absorbed

And then the sneak attack strikes, Danny screeches in what sounds like actual fear, and flops over like he’s playing dead

Before they knew what was happening, this worried people. Was it a trap. Was it time for restraints. Was it mockery????

Once it’s been worked out? Yeah no it’s time for the whole fucking team to tackle Danny and wrassle ‘im at once and he’s never been happier

It’s a long time before Danny comes back to himself enough for English, and by then he’s a beloved institution

It’s a little longer before he begins to properly remember anything, and then their happy, friendly, affectionate ghost closes off like someone slammed a door

The league are worried, Constantine is baffled, Danny is hiding literally in the walls and will not come out but a light frost tells them where he is

Black Bat clocks it because she Knows, she’s been there, and she gathers Jason and Damian and the other young heroes who died and they set up a fucking pillow fort and cocoa and candy and snacks next to the frost

Dick suggests movies and in between each one they just quietly ask Danny if he wants to come and join them, there’s a spot open in the middle

Three movies in Damian’s asleep and had a moustache drawn on him and then Danny slowly fades in through the wall

Cass makes the space, but they all know better than to say anything

They just let him join them, give him his own blanket and cocoa, and asks if he wants to pick the next movie when that one ends

Danny shakes his head and just sits, surrounded by people who get it and treats and they fall asleep in a goddamn puppy pile about sixteen hours later

(Damian’s revenge with the marker is legendary, he can bide his time for when the rest of them go down and he awakes, well rested and intent on crime)

Danny stops talking for a while again, even in ghostspeak, so Cass sticks around to translate for him

The adults are So Fucking Worried because what the hell happened to, again, THE FUCKING GHOST KING WHO CANNOT BE KILLED OR RESTRAINED OR STOPPED

And Zatanna has to remind him that whatever else he is… this king was a child

A human child, who died

What was the point in animal planet airing those incredibly convincing fake documentaries about dragons and mermaids

If the aim was to convince incredibly gullible children that they were real it worked on me

I distinctly remember watching these and being like why is no one talking about this this is INSANE and then my mom had to explain that it’s fake

Sorry for believing animal planet. The channel that tells me facts about animals 99.9% of the time

Short DPXDC Prompts #661

Danny gets a job in Gotham as a Self Defense instructor.

Look, when you're walking through Gotham at fuck-off o'clock and someone grabs you and you have the skills to defend yourself, you're bloody well going to use them.

Danny raises an eyebrow at the tank of a man laid out at his feet.

"Dude, did no one tell you not to jump a black belt?"

mutteredmadness-ninjapanda16

The visual of Danny just easily beating the shit out of a Bat trying to sneak up on him and trying to play it out like he’s just an average black belt of any martial art is positively incredible. Good shit.

"I don't recognise that move. Which martial arts did you say you follow?"

Danny, irritated, still sleep deprived and coffee spilt on the ground, "The fuck you kind. Want another demonstration?"
