DPxDC idea #3

The DC universe has its own Danny Fenton.

The problem?

He's dead.

Dead.

The portal accident killed him years ago. The Fentons buried their son, mourned him, and somehow managed to move on.

Then a dimensional breach brings Danny Phantom from another universe into the DC Universe.

At first, nobody notices anything strange. The Justice League just sees another teenage meta helping during crises. But eventually reporters get clear footage. Facial recognition software finds a match.

Danny Fenton.

Deceased.

The boy buried years ago.

Now Maddie, Jack, and Jazz are forced to watch news reports of their dead son flying alongside heroes, So they chase him wanting answers.

And Danny is stuck trying to explain something impossible:

"No, I'm not your Danny."

The worst part?

Nobody believes him.

Because how do you tell grieving parents that their son really is dead... and you're just an alternate-universe version who happened to survive?

King Phantom going through some of the backed up paperwork and finds Janet's contract. Her first born belongs to Phantom now since Pariah never did any paperwork. Those that he did claim had already been rescued where they could and made comfortable when there was little to be done.

He's outlawed new deals since a lot of the time the validly of the sacrifice can be questioned. The observant s are annoyed at babysitters duty but it gets them out of annoying Danny and lets him be productive so he plans on milking it for as long as there are deals under review. Just like with the one Pariah claimed, a lot of them are undergoing investigations and that's where Janet's deal comes in.

Tim like many other firstborns are watched over. Anytime they are in danger, the observant responsible invokes Danny or his claim to protect them from the shadows. On occasion, they might have been relocated but never has Danny collected on any of those deals until Tim.

Tim unlike the other firstborns is a hero. Tim is also aware something is watching him as he will make comments for Danny or thank him for a save nobody else noticed and Danny is instantly smitten. Danny watches as Tim does so much good for Gotham both as a civilian and as a hero. Even when he is taken for granted, it doesn't slow Tim down and Danny admires him more.

Danny knows Tim has massive potential, and he trusts him to understand the gravity of how far his influence runs. He had no doubt in Tim when he was trying to clone his lost friends. Danny understood was part of his grieving process and everyone grieves differently. Did he also swoon a bit? Nobody witnessed it so it didn't happen (but his friend do tease him about it since they were aware of his crush)

It becomes the last straw for Danny when Nightwing acting as Batman turns everyone against Tim. He reminds himself everyone copes differently for all of one minute before saying man fuck that guy and sends a sticky note to Tim. On that sticky note he offers his help and protection, but it can't be revoked once accepted.

It's the first time he has 'shown' himself outside of the assists he's made, and it feels like agony as he watches Tim. Eventually Tim does take up his offer and while Danny fell first Tim fell harder. Bruce is the second person Danny saves that day and the moment Tim realizes it he is extra cuddly with Danny.

The alternate rescue is Danny being dramatic about collecting Red Robin in front of Dick and the Justice league. Tim meanwhile is like good luck keeping me here, but when he takes in his first view of the Infinite Realms he has sooo many questions so he could stay for a bit for science.

This idea started because I remembered Tim got into cloning which made me think Danny would have loved to be mourned (it's a ghost thing even for a halfa) with so much devotion. If he was watching Tim he would swoon and think "I wish that were me" (Vlad offended because he literally tried that with a different target in mind lol) so that's what made the 'first born' contract happen since he needed a reason to watch over Tim and the others but mostly Tim

masks and helmets that hides someone's face in such a way that they become the face themselves my beloved

these are all creatures to me

[ancient-debris]

Angel of War, angular and strange, gleaming silver and gold, Angel of Wonder, pure and one-eyed, looking to stars new and old, Angel of Harvest, simple and hidden, bring nature's sweetness to all, Angel of Health, mysterious and fine, beacon when life starts to fall, Angel of the Deep, crooked and cage-like, guide us across the sea, Angel of Solace, protect us from evil, lead us to where we are free.

Was inspired by the previous post a while back, and had been working on this on and off for a long while.

[captain-acab]

I love all of these. The angel of the the deep's wings are canvas, held up by an anchor. The angel of war's wings are blades, and its shield is a coffin. The angel of solace is a mutant, its arms deforming into wings. Geiger counter in hand, it guides us through the danger only it knows. Was this angel once a man? Corrupted now beyond hope, he can at least save others from the same fate.

Fic prompt #72

Dpxdc

For Danny Fenton (aka Danny Phantom), the problem was never having powers.

The problem was paperwork. and government agencies. and his parents.

So naturally he coped the only way a feral teenage ghost hero could: by committing identity fraud. repeatedly.

—-

Danny Fenton – The son of eccentric ghost-hunting scientists, publicly perceived as an average teenager, privately navigating the consequences of his parents’ experiments.

Danny Phantom – The town’s resident superhero, a half-ghost meta-human who protects the city from ectoplasmic threats.

Dennis Nightale – A fabricated civilian identity used to anonymously report criminal and paranormal activity to law enforcement without exposing his true nature.

Dr. Den Vale – A constructed academic persona presented as a parapsychology researcher who publicly challenges and debunks his parents’ more extreme ghost-theory claims, serving as intellectual damage control.

Devin Fonton – An occult and interdimensional specialist occasionally consulted by the Justice League for cases involving spectral anomalies and liminal-realm breaches.

Darian Voss – A private paranormal security consultant who operates internationally, investigating hauntings and containing ecto-biological threats under corporate contract.

Denton Raye – A media-facing paranormal analyst and podcast guest persona used to influence public perception about ghost phenomena while subtly steering narratives away from his own activities.

Derrin Holloway – A low-profile archival researcher embedded within historical societies, specializing in ancient spectral lore and forgotten interdimensional incidents.

Perplexed Ivy

(a DCxDP prompt)

Danny is headed to his early morning classes at Gotham University (Thank You Wayne Scholarship!) after a very long night (Curse You Gossipy Ghost Roommate!).

Suddenly Poison Ivy attacks (Does this mean he can skip class?).

Danny is so exhausted, he forgets he doesn’t need to breath and gets hits with a blast of pollen (thankfully it’s not sexy or cuddly or we’d all have another problem).

The pollen causes Danny to release a giant icy sneeze directly onto Ivy’s plant, freezing it solid.

Danny sees the damage and instantly flashes back to the last time he sneezed in Sam’s greenhouse.

…

Poison Ivy finds some strange Wayne/Bat Bait looking college kid trying desperately to thaw one of her babies, apologizing the entire time.

The kid spots her, calls her Jazz, and begs her to help him save the plants before “Sam kills him again”

Ivy is very confused.

My Companion

“You’re not usually this high, Batman, why the change in location?” Bruce turns to the playful, layered voice, finding a familiar (achingly familiar) face as Danny floated down from a cloud to float before him. Although stoic-faced, Bruce knew Danny could read his emotions like a book. And they had both known one another too long for his old friend not to be able to read him without his extra abilities. “Got a tip the Riddler was thinking of using a blimp and hiding it in the smog clouds,” he casts a look to the other, knowing Danny had leant too far into Clockwork’s traits and adored being vague to confuse others, “you wouldn’t happen to have seen that, would you?” “Who’s to say.” Danny grins, winking to the older man, settling at his side to sit, “But I will say that some of these clouds have a little too much smog than others.” Grunting, he settles in for his inspection of the skies. Daniel, or Phantom as he first knew him or Danny as he now preferred, had long been his favorite thorn in his side before the Joker or Superman could bother claiming such a central part of his story. They had met at The League of Assassins, one undercover and one striving to be the best student, and both had formed a bond they’d never break. Hell, it had been Danny who had used his powers to help them escape when Ra’s nearly caught them after their first break out. Ever since, both would find one another like some form of destiny. Or like a stray piece of glitter that refused to fuck off after thirty-odd years. But, where Bruce was now in his forties, Danny…Danny now looked forever at twenty-five. Old enough for humans to not question when he did remain living-side, but eternally a being who would never age as he should’ve. His heart gave a familiar ache of what may have been had they both not been stubborn, or busy, or full of need to protect. “Going up in the clouds is one of the only ways to see stars in the city,” his voice comments, a cool weight leant into Batman’s armor, “of course, if someone let me go up to The Watchtower…” “No, you told me you didn’t want to be part of it all anymore,” Batman reminds him, even as Bruce opens his cape and welcomes the steady presence of the other, “the schematics would detect you far too quickly, you ensured the tech would alert even for ghost blobs, let alone the King of Balance.” “Oh shut it, Prince of Gotham.” Smirking, he feels calmed, the purr-like sensation of Danny’s core a welcome feeling after a shit week. Danny sighs, watching the skies with Bruce, a little hum alerting the other of a stray odd green color. “I should go…be safe, I expect you to actually make it to our luncheon next week. Without someone attempting to follow you, please. I really don’t want your kids thinking I’m some sugar-baby trying to steal your cash. You give it to me free anyway.” Rolling his eyes behind the cowl, Bruce stands, pressing his comms to alert his team to the possible sighting of Riddler’s blimp. Once he was sure no one was listening, Bruce shakes his head fondly to his truest companion, “I’ll send a location to you tomorrow. Go rest, Phantom…..I’ll see about sending you that fudge you liked from Penny One.” With one last grin, and a frosty kiss to his cheek, Daniel was gone and away as if he’d never been there.

I'm a Princess <3

Imagine with me Danny, right? He's a cutie patootie with a sweet face, heart of good intentions, and the need to be a gremlin. He's been through tough times, shit hasn't been easy for him all the time! He died at fourteen, got revived literal seconds after, he became a vigilante to help protect his town, helped his rogues and schoolmates, dealt with his parents, adored his sister, had to semi-give up his dream-! But, anyway, Danny deserves pampering, deserves some time to be treated well, ya know? And Princess Treatment isn't just reserved for those of the woman orientation, everyone deserves Princess Treatment! (but they do reserve to change the title if they're uncomfy, of course.) Imagine with me now, Danny skipping over to Gotham to study. Could be for anything, he's a smart cookie and could get into anything if his mind likes it, and he gets to use some cash from the Ghost King's vault (listen, a few pieces of gold coins went a LONG way in helping fund his current happiness). And he's just spoiled a little there. It could be because he has a personality the Gothamites like. It could be because of his halfa status giving him a supernatural beauty and energy people are attracted to. It could simply be because they feel he's a newbie, one that's fitting in just nice, and they don't want life to be too rough on the kid. Either way, he's getting spoiled. He ordered some food Batburger? Well, the place was kinda slow and they didn't mind bringing him his food tray and oh! They see he doesn't have a straw for his milkshake, it's okay, they'll get it for him so he doesn't need to walk. He walked the family matriarch, of the family from down the block, back home and insisted on carrying her groceries? Well, now he's being the only one fed his favorite dishes, her grandchildren can learn some manners from him! Danny's bewildered by it all. Getting food brought to him, people giving him their jackets or umbrellas (he's got a good dozen jackets now), his books being carried for him, someone got him celestial jewelry because he once said he loved space, one of the vigilantes CARRIED him home when he sprained an ankle, and one of his classmates even had their butler make him fudge! He doesn't know what it is, but he's so happy living in Gotham!

i stepped on the scale today and it said “bat”

it took me a few seconds to realize it meant the battery was out, but before i realized that i just said “i am not a bat” out loud

[mousegirlheart]

[evilcarmona]

I'm very inspired by the scenes where Danny is Mr. Freeze's assistant, so I made a sketch with the design.

Maybe I'll paint it again.

So, Danny has found a good part-time job, and he really likes this man with a tragic backstory and ICE.

But the GIW keeps track of news about anything that looks like ghosts. Even if his ectoplasmic signature can get lost in Gotham, his appearance is really a problem.

So he asks Sam and Tucker for help, and their grins should really have alerted him.

Sam chooses winter fairy because "fairy is cool, you can borrow my book on medieval mythology to make sure." Tucker is working on the technological aspects. So.

(let's be honest, the main reason is that Ellie recently started watching Winx. They're sure she's going to fucking love it.)

Wings mask the ability to fly. The warm clothes are thick enough to fit inside a special fabric that holds back most of the ghost core's energy signature. The half mask hides the green glow of the eyes. Among other things, the colors are far from the usual black and white, so as not to be associated with an old suit.

Simply put, this costume is a monstrous combination of technology and magic. According to Sam and Tucker, how well Danny's ass stands out is just a nice bonus.

It works, and Danny looks like a perfectly ordinary meta-henchman of Mr. Freeze. Now it would be really nice if literally all the fucking Batman kids would stop staring at his ass.

(optional: Strangely enough, in THIS transformation of a magical girl, literally all the inhabitants of Amity recognize him. Apparently, the blocking of ecto in the mask was overdone? Now everyone at home knows that he's a supervillain's henchman, lol)

(Mr. Lancer lets out a very long, drawn-out sigh)

(besides, I've never been able to choose between dead on main, dead tired or dead serious)

(well, damn it, choose for yourself)

[nerdpoe]

Danny thought ghosts were the height of weirdness in his life. He was wrong.

No, it's whatever the hell this shit is.

He was touring Metropolis, looking at good old M.U. as a potential college, when he and the rest of the tour group was caught up in some sort of....lovers spat?

Wait, were Superman and Lex Luthor fucking?

He had no idea, but Luthor had found a "new form of Kryptonite" and was intent on using it to show off; some sort of weird, glowing green flower that was powering his new mech.

Right up until Luthor, at the same time as Danny, realized it was not Kryptonite.

Unlike Danny, Luthor was too close to it when it exploded.

Luthor, knocked away by the blast, landed just next to where Danny and the other tourees were hiding, and his eyes, still dazed, landed on Danny.

Eyes that were glowing Ghost Zone green.

Two things happen; Danny realizes that the plant was probably one of Undergrowth's experiments, and...well.

"S...Shadow of shadows! Two...w...w...worlds....so bright!" Luthor sobs, clinging to Danny as Danny just stands there awkwardly, begging Superman to get this creep off of him with his eyes.

Superman, however, looks just as awkward as him.

"So like, can you get him off of me?"

"Unfortunately, I don't know what he's covered in, so we're both waiting for the hazmat team."

"Please?"

"I'm not risking getting compromised while being one of the strongest people on the planet."

"Fffffffair."

[savanir]

What if ghost drugs last super long cause their perception of time is different.

Poor Mercy having to wrangle her high boss away from making horrible decisions.

Superman awkwardly hovering about, just in case.

And Danny keeps getting dragged in as well cause Luthor is convinced he's some sort of boy god king

I eat fear for breakfast

(Dp x dc prompt, feel free to use)

Scarecrow needs to test a new fear toxin. However he doesn’t want bats knowing he’s out of Arkham yet so instead of kidnapping someone he decided to put an add on Craigslist looking for people willing ‘help test a pet project’

Danny, having moved to Gotham for collage and thoroughly broke, sees an opportunity to make some quick cash and responds.

Is it shady as shit?? Yes. But Danny is like 99% sure he’s some form of immortal now so it’s not like it’s gonna kill him. Plus this means that someone less durable than him won’t take the job.

Cain is overjoyed at having a willing test subject. The only problem comes when non of his toxins seem to work on him. Not only the new one he was testing but even the old ones that he knows works.

What he doesn’t know is that ghost feed on fear. Even their own. Danny is literally eating his own fear before he can feel it. So all he’s doing is given Danny a full 3 corse meal.

DC x DP: The Adoptive Son

Danny Fenton gets lost in the Infinite Releams and without the Infinite Map, he has no hope finding his way home.

After wandering for weeks, he quickly realizes his human side is dying from lack of food and stress. With a heavy heart, he crashes lands in a new world, desperate for rest.

A new world that was seemed to behind in terms of technology. But he's not afraid of helping the world catch up if it means finding a way home.

He crashed in the middle of nowhere forest and after three days of walking by foot- too worn out to fly- he comes across Gotham.

Taking a page out of Vlad's book- as much as it makes him feel sick- he possesses people to get himself set up in the new world. He needs to find somewhere with enough money that he can build a S.O.S for his friends to find him.

And he needs resources to survive.

He finds a wealthy family who is so invested in breaking each other apart they didn't notice their sudden ease in wanting to adopt Danny.

Seemingly overnight, the Crowne family went from slowly collapsing to once more being at the top due to their adopted son Danny Crowne's genius mind. Despite his young age, his adoptive father allowed him to turn the family business from fashion design to medical and technical advances.

At age fourteen he sat within the board meetings slowly but surely taking over and raising the company's stocks and power.

They developed the first heart pumps, made leaps and bounds in cancer treatment, and created software and computer programs that and their prosthetics were the most advanced in the world.

There were rumors that the head design for all engineering projects- including the prosthetics- were all done by Danny Crowne. They were never confirmed.

Even business deals done by the Crownes were suspiciously so far in their favor many believed they were making deals with the multiple families of Gotham's underbelly.

That was also never proven.

Despite all the whispers about him, Danny Crowne was considered one of the brightest minds in Gotham. Everyone who spoke to him claimed he was a soft-spoken gentleman and was even compared to royalty from his regal composition.

Personally, Bruce has always had a bad feeling about Danny Crowne. He knows the boy is off in some way, all his Instincts scream danger when he's around.

At first, he was ecstatic to hear the Crownes had also adopted an orphan from a poor background. It had been a few years after he had gotten his ward, Dick. Despite it being five years since he first accepted Dick into his home, his ward had not made any friends besides Barbara Gordon. None of the elite children gave Dick the time of day pass making passive aggressive comments about him.

Then the news of Danny Crowne broke, and everyone knew he had practically been picked off the streets after the CPS had forced him into the juvenile hall as the only place that had space for him.

Just like Dick.

He had hoped that a similar past would help the two boys bond. He had tried pushing Dick into speaking to Danny, and had gone out of his way to personally invite the young man to a party he threw for all of Dicks classmates.

The first thing Danny Crowne did upon arriving at his house was step away from the crowd and study Bruce's home wiring. Dick later told him Danny made him feel strange, like the other boy would be one the loons they stopped during the night.

Bruce, stop pushing for their friendship.

Time moved on, but Crownes only grew in power, and by the time he took in Jason, Danny Crowne inherited his family assets after his adoptive parents mysterious deaths.

They began to look into Danny after Nightwing had discovered a trail of dangerous experiments from shell companies that all led back to Crowne Co. Jason also mentioned that a lot of street kids disappeared after Danny Crowne had turn his sights on them with a new charity program his company ran.

No one knew what happened to the kids and no one in the legal system seemed to care.

Bruce thought about the Crownes rise to wealth and felt sick. Had Danny been running a trafficking ring since his adoption? Had that escaped Batman's notice for four years?

Despite the fact they were still at eachother throats, both Bruce and Dick agreed to work togther to bring Danny Crowne down. How?

Simple.

Danny Crowne was openly bisexual and, according to Jason, who was half-raised by working girls, his eyes always followed Dick around the room.

Operation Honey Pot was a go.

(Danny didn't mean to stay here for four years but had built himself a home, and no natural portals were opening. He figured he could secretly construct his while helping abused kids find safe ways out of the city and start new lives. Technically illegal, no one had batted an eye when the kids vanished, so he figured getting them somewhere safe was more important. Indeed Batman had better things to do than track down kids in better foster homes. He test-ran the homes himself before placing the children. Yes, overshadowing made him feel bad, but he rather experienced the house before overshadowing the social workers into legalizing the stay under new names. He was sick of them sticking kids in juvenile halls just cause other foster homes were "out of jurisdiction".

At least his charities helped the age out kids succeed in life.

Now why was handsome Dick Grayson winking at him??? Gosh, that made him more nervous than all the lessons Clockwork forced him to take back when he was training to take the Ghost Throne. The classes helped him become one of the best CEO in the world, but they were also the reason he got into this whole mess to begin with. At least he looked regal when he spoke. )

DP x DC Prompt: Eternal Teen Phantom Meets Eternal Child Baby Doll

"Mary Louise Dahl, also known as Baby Doll, is an actress born with systemic hypoplasia, a rare condition which kept her from ever growing, meaning that she spent all of her life looking like an adorable little girl." -Batman The Animated Series wiki

Danny, frustrated with how he hasn't aged past 14 despite being in his 20's, leaves Amity Park behind. His lack of aging wasn't a problem for his friends and family, but a man can only be laughed out of so many job interviews. Eventually, his wandering brings him to Gotham.

Mary, still reeling from her disastrous attempt at happiness and newly incarcerated in Arkham, doesn't resist when reporters make her their latest show pony - what a novelty, a washed up actress who hides a Tommy gun in her dolly and looks like a toddler! Her sad mug is plastered across every paper in town for a week, in her jumpsuit and ringlet curls.

Danny sees the papers, and finds in them someone he can relate to. He may have been a hero, and she a villain, but they were both driven to it by circumstance, right?

He writes her a letter. Mary writes one back. They become pen pals. Tentative friends, even.

And then there's a breakout at Arkham. Mary isn't answering Danny's texts, and there are reports of fatalities. Chaos fills the streets.

Phantom goes looking for Baby Doll.

[idontcaboose]

Ms. Dahl,

I hope this letter finds you in good spirits.

My name is Danny, and I am kinda in a similar situation as you. Though I do not have the same medical condition you do, I do have an appearance of a 14 year old boy versus the 26 year old that I actually am. I am not too sure why I am writing this letter to you, but I do hope that you know that I understand the anger frustration. I have been laughed out of many job interviews for looking like a tween in a suit. I can only imagine how much more infuriating it would be in the entertainment industry. If you ever want an ear from one that has more of an understanding of your situation, I will be a letter away.

- Danny Fenton

It started out with probably the cringeist letter that he could have made. But what else could he really write? He was writing to a "villain" in an insane asylum in New freaking Jersey! Sure, he felt for Ms. Dahl... completely understood her snap, really.... ancients knows he felt like doing the same, and he was born in a more forgiving time! With all the aliens, metas, and obvious supernatural stuff that gets reported worldwide, you would think people would learn not to judge face value. That being said, Ms. Mary's letter came back rather quickly. It made him feel a bit better that her letter was just as awkward as his was. Over time, they both smoothed out their responses. He could almost say with 90% certainty that they were friends. They would trade what their therapists would suggest to them, laugh at the shenanigans that they both could get up to with their younger appearances, and complain hard at what condescending jerks most people are.

After every asylum break out, Mary would send a letter stating that she was still there, safe for the most part. It worried him to no end, but he knew that to protect any pen pals the 'patients' got, the letter with the return address was removed, and only the letter itself made it to the recipient. She told him that is how they did the letter exchanges after he asked if she liked the drawing his niece drew on the envelope. She also said that these letters were one of the only reasons she didn't join the breakouts. So, when a full week passed since the last breakout with no letter, Danny got worried. It had taken a week and a half before, Mary said that Waylon Jones had trashed the receiving area when he left, so they had to move everything, and that took a few days before they could send mail out.

But that didn't happen often...

and usually took only a few days to do.....

He needed to go check on her............

[idontcaboose]

The city was in shambles, on fire, and frozen?

He guessed with a big enough city and enough rogues, anything was possible. Amity had a field day when both Undergrowth and Vortex decided to throw tantrums at the same time. They didn't even team up, they just happened to show up at the same time!

Off topic, back to Mary. Back to whatever in the world happened to Gotham for it to be in even more of a disaster than usual...... check list time.

Go look at the asylum.

Scooby-Doo investigate from there.

Profit?

(Optional) Ask a Bat.

(Optional if first Optional doesn't work) Ask a nicer 'Villain' Mary always said Harley and Ivy were nice enough, maybe them? Or maybe Waylon if he isn't in a face-eaty mood.

Danny shakes his head. It's not the best of plans, but you make due with bread crumbs, right?

Well then....

That isn't good at all....

Danny paused his frantic flight at the absolute destruction of the asylum. The front gates were craters, and the entity of the in-processing was rubble. Heck, he couldn't even tell where the front doors were. Even worse was, there was no one there. At all.

There were no cops or workers to clean up or repair the damage. Every personnel and patient were gone without a trace. What in the world happened?

Danny settled for phasing through the remains, hoping to maybe find Mary's room. It took him a bit, but he was able to find it, or what was left of it. There was only one wall left standing, and somehow, there was a picture that he sent of the Grand Canyon still taped on the wall. The only reason he was still able to focus was the fact there was no sign of grievous injury or sent of death in this section of the asylum. He stood holding that picture as if it would tell him the entirety of what it witnessed.

Danny snapped out of his borderline disassociation when he heard a purposeful footstep behind him. Whirling around, he came to face a tall man in black and blue. Nightwing, his mind supplied. Mary talked about him and said he was witty and loved to trade puns and banter. Gave him an 8/10 for dramatic portrayals and said he would have been fun to work with if he was in the entertainment industry -

"Hey there!" That snapped Danny out of his head again. "Can I ask what you are doing here?" Nightwing cheerfully asked, as if they saw each other at a coffee shop or bookstore instead of ground zero of the worst day of Gothams history.

"I -" Danny paused. Out of all the Bats, Nightwing was the one ranked 'nicest' to interact with. Optional number 1 it was. "I am looking for someone. Ms. Mary Dahl."

Nightwing's smile went a bit too tense before he relaxed bit.

"I see. May I ask why you are looking for Ms. Dahl?"

Danny was caught in a conundrum. Tell Nightwing that he was her pen pal, and have them find out that Dany Fenton and Phantom were one of the same, or try to lie and possibly get his butt kicked into next Tuesday. Unfortunately, Danny could tell he was running out of time with the vigilantes patience, so he did what any 20 something would do in an awkward encounter.

Say "Nope." And vanish.

Looks like optional part 2 is a go!

DPxDC Prompt: Who's Child Is This?

Inspired by an ICarly Clip. "Mr. Wayne, we have your son here."

Bruce blinked, then checked the number on the phone. It was from the police station. He then looked around the table which had fallen silent when Alfred had brought him the phone.

Dick, Jason, Tim, Duke, and Damian were all accounted for. Even Jon was there so they couldn't have misidentified him as his kid.

"Which one?" Bruce chose to ask.

"Tim Drake."

Bruce looked at Tim specifically as he tilted his head confused. "Are you sure?"

"Oh yeah, Mr. Wayne, we know your boys by now."

"Right... alright, I'll be there in a couple of minutes. Can I ask on why Tim has been taken into custody?"

Tim tilted his head even further while some of the others around the table started chuckling.

"He was found trespassing near the new Axion Labs at the edge of the city. The owner chose not to press charges so we're sending him home in your custody."

"I see, I'll be there soon. Thank you for the call."

"Of course, Mr. Wayne, we'll see you soon."

Bruce ended the call then looked at his kids. "Apparently, Tim has been arrested for trespassing near the Axion Labs construction site."

"And you didn't even invite me?" Dick chuckled at Tim, "We could have had so much fun together."

Tim scrunched his nose at the idea. "No way, that whole area is an OSHA violation. If I went there it wouldn't be out of costume, whoever that kid is was risking his life just walking within a block of it."

"Well, I'm going to go down there and see what 'Tim' was thinking." Bruce got out of his seat, "I'll be back soon."

"New brother?" Cass asked as Damian growled.

"We're going to assume no for now, but we may have another for dinner depending on what's going on."

"I will prepare another seat while you are gone, Master Bruce."

"Thanks, Alfred. I'll be back soon."

When Bruce walked into the police station he immediately noticed 'Tim' sitting in front of one of the officers desks. It was a newer officer and it was clear that neither Detective Montoya or Commissioner Gordon were in or somebody would have noticed that this kid definitely wasn't Tim.

Yes, the kid had black hair which was on the shorter side but his hair fell in front of his face more than Tim would wear it, and his eyes were unnaturally blue. He was pale in an old hoodie, blue jeans, and red shoes. The biggest difference though was that this kid looked like he was only pushing 15, not 17. Yes, he looked quite a bit like Tim but anybody who had spent more than five minutes with Tim Drake would know they weren't the same person.

"Mr. Wayne." The officer called as Bruce walked over, looking at the kid.

He was thin and pale, which a tired look on his face. He also shrunk away from Bruce when he walked over.

Bruce knew what a kid in trouble looked like. So he smiled down at the kid. "You know, Tim, when I said you could go to the lab to do your science homework I didn't expect you to go all the way to Axion Labs."

The kid looked at him, surprised then seemed to quickly catch on. "What can I say, I had to see what terrible science looked like. Sorry for making you come down here."

"It's fine, but are you okay?"

"Y-yeah, totally." He said, his hand subconsciously moving to his ribs as though he was hurt.

"Alright then you are grounded."

"What?!" 'Tim' squeaked, "Come on-"

"Nope. You are ground... for... 'til... college."

"FOR 'TIL COLLEGE?!"

"For 'til college!"

The officer cleared his throat then held out a clipboard. "If you sign the red x's you can take your son and leave, Mr. Wayne."

Bruce took the papers, quickly looking over it and signing it. It was strange to see that all of the handwriting on the paperwork was adult writing. Had they even asked this kid his name? Once everything was signed he passed it back over to the officer who nodded.

"Looks good. Thanks Mr. Wayne and you stay out of trouble. The whole city knows your face. You're just lucky Mr. Masters didn't want to press charges."

"Yeah, so lucky." The kid rolled his eyes, then stood up and looked up at Bruce. "Can we go now?"

"Sure thing, chum. Come on." Bruce said, leading the kid out of the station and to the car. The kid seemed hesitant as he looked around, his eyes narrowing when they landed on a gentlemen with silver hair in a ponytail, only when the man smiled at 'Tim' did the kid speak up again.

"Come on, Dad, let's get out of here before the stalkers find us." He said, climbing in the front seat and closing the door, much to the annoyance of the silver haired man.

Bruce climbed in the front seat, buckling in and driving away from the station. "So... 'not Tim' what's your name?"

"Danny. Just Danny... sorry about all of that Mr. Wayne. That guy took one look at me and started calling me 'Tim' and when I tried to explain that I wasn't 'Tim' hey called me a liar. But if I gave them my real name then... somebody else was going to come collect me and I didn't want that. So... I let them call me Tim. I'm sorry, I hope it didn't put you out..."

"Not at all. But... are you okay? Why were you at Axion Labs?"

Danny seemed hesitant, "I... it sounds crazy."

"It's Gotham, kid. Crazy things happen all the time..."

"Right... well um... I-I was kidnapped from my home and taken to Axion Labs. I-I escaped and when I was trying to leave the grounds the police saw me and thought I was trespassing. Since the cops were I decided to play along with it..."

Bruce frowned, "Kidnapped? Is... is there somebody I can call?"

Danny shook his head. "I have an older sister who is probably going crazy looking for me but other than her and a couple of friends there wouldn't be anybody. My parents... they were kind of involved. They... they found out something about me and tried to hurt me, I ran to somebody I knew I couldn't trust because I thought maybe he would get his head out of his ass but I was just being an idiot." Danny hugged himself. "You can drop me off anywhere though, you don't have to bother yourself with me or my shit."

Bruce pulled to a stoplight and reached over to the kid who flinched, Bruce waited until he relaxed before Bruce patted his head. "I'm not going to just leave you on the street. Besides, it's late and by now my butler has already dished you some dinner. So at least for tonight you're welcome to stay with me and my kids. We'll get some food in your belly, make sure you're not wounded, let you call your sister, and find a way to get you home. Sound good?" He asked, moving his hand away.

Danny looked at Bruce, seeming a bit untrusting for a moment before he glanced at something near Bruce and relaxed. There was nothing with Bruce, he wasn't carrying anything, but whatever Danny was seeing was enough to put his mind at ease. "Okay... but if anybody tries anything be warned, I bite."

Bruce chuckled, "So do most of the others. You'll fit right in."

'But just what the hell is going on with this kid? Does it have anything to do with that man outside the police station? I've got to get to the bottom of this before this kid leaves, especially if he's still a target.'

Tim: well you know us - can't live without it!

Danny: and can't die with it!

Tim and Danny cheers their mugs 🍻 (<-that but....coffee) (what do you call that?? I can't word T.T )

[eternal-watcher]

Danny’s aversion to being adopted by a billionaire erodes as soon as he meets his new mad science brother.

Also, for some reason, anyone outside of the Wayne family continuously gets Tim and Danny mixed up. They only bear a passing resemblance to each other and yet no one seems to be able to tell them apart. (it’s because they have the exact same vibes of coffee loving insomniac mad scientists)
