Danny: You can't participate Vlad, I hate you.

Vlad: *looking genuinely upset*

Danny: I say that not out of anger, but simply as a fact. Its sixty-seven degrees outside, and I hate you.

[oonightmareoo]

Just once, I want Danny to spout off something that he’s clearly heard from Jazz and then cringe at it.

Jason: “Just gotta wait until the Stockholm Syndrome kicks in!”

Danny: “Actually, that is a phony diagnosis created by a sexist psychiatrist who saw a hostage situation on TV and decided that the woman, in fight-flight-fawn mode, was in love with the man waving a gun at h-"

Jason: *raises eyebrow*

Danny, realizing: "Oh, you meant it as a joke… Ancients, I sounded like Jazz there.” *shudders*

Dick, exasperated: “Monkey see, monkey do, after all…”

Danny, eating a snack: "Actually, monkeys mimic behavior as a form of communication and survival, while the so-called Chameleon Effect is influenced by a desire to fit in and be liked by the people around us. It's also influenced by a part of the brain that certain- *pauses* *pushes snack away* And that was super fucking weird to bring up all of a sudden, sorry, what were we talking about?" *face screwed up in disgust*

Dick: *is just amused*

Damian, angry enough to turn red: "-I will eviscerate you so much that even your mother would be disgusted by your incompetent-"

Danny, off to the side and kinda zoned out: "Did you know that excess violence in teenagers, while typically attributed towards early childhood development by those around the teenager, is almost always caused by their current situation and a feeling of estrangement, lack of control, or- wow, yea, okay, I'm shutting up now, I just realized what I sounded like. Uegh."

Damian, suddenly calm: "You bring up a valid point, Daniel. Come, make your argument in front of father. Please."

Tim: "I'll sleep when I'm dead; for now, there's coffee."

Jason: "That shit stunts your growth, pipsqueak."

Danny: "That was actually debunked. What coffee does do is it blocks your adenosine receptors and enhances your dopamine signaling, increasing your mood and motivation as well as enhancing your memory, and then it also improves your attention and alertness. However, it also increases your anxiety and sleep disturbances, which can mess up your memory consolidation and brain recovery." *makes a disgusted face* *shudders* *takes a sip of an energy drink* "Anyways, ignoring all that nonsense that I'm definitely ignoring that I've accidentally memorized, sleeping when you're dead is also a myth. I would know." *chugs energy drink*

Tim, despairing with a tight grip on his coffee: "Nooo, I was relying on that!"

[currentlysleepingus]

I'm bored

The fentons and the al ghuls know eachother via their parents

Jacks family are ancestrally supernatural hunter hunters. They mostly focused on witches and those with somewhat beating hearts. They never messed with the dead

Jacks mother met Ra and naturally assumed he was some sort of vengeful forest spirit or a demon given his lifespan and obsession

So like any supernatural hunter she tried to kill him. Several times. She managed to befriend him a few times because Ra found her amusing but this made her despise him even more. She considers him her greatest enemy he thinks of her as the random hunter that keeps sneaking past my guards. Her presence amuses him so she's just that one random woman with the crossbow. Did she eventually figure out he isn't a forest spirit. Yes. Does she care. No. She still wants to kill him because no normal human lives that long.

She bans her kids from befriending the AL Ghuls and warns of their tricks and deciet( she lost her enchanted sword in a bet and an engraved silver 'get lost werewolf' spear in a gamble with Ra)

Talia is sent to investigate the two scientists that are researching lazerous waters. She meets Jack and maddie They are way too honest and excited about this and she should just kill them and get it over with. After the fudge of course and the next sparing Match with the red head woman because the first fight was kind of fun and WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE FIRENDS NOW? Most don't get my attempts. She gets adopted into the fentons As a family friend within a week and she asks her father to let them temporarily work in one of the league facilities.

Given how old Ra is he should know something about the realms but doesn't have too much of an interest in the other side and disrupt the deAD WHY IS THAT SCIENTIST MY DUAGHTER BROUGHT HOME TRYING TO PUCH A HOLE INTO THE REALM OF THE DEAD LIKE THAT??

Ra ends up monitoring them until he realizes whose son that is and takes a gamble.

Eventually the fentons leave the LOA base to have Jazz and settle down in Amity Park. They would've went to Gotham but talia insisted on somewhere else.

She still visits and invited them to her and Bruce's wedding because fuck you grant Morrison they were married briefly and happily before they got divorced that's how damian happened.

Bruce and Jack have a truce during this time.

They know about babian but don't tell anyone after talia made them keep it a secret.

Jack does try to kill Bruce more after though

The nightingales branch started in Gotham before expanding and they had a rivalry with some of the founding families like the Wayne's. So Jack and Bruce grew to have a rivalry because Jack knows Bruce isn't a himbo and is secretly and evil genius and Bruce knows that jacks is a himbo and also a genius but one is more prevalent than the other.

Talia regularly goes over to the fenton house to relax jazz knows her as auntie t and talia stopped showing up as much as damian got older. So danny has some memories of her but not all

Jason also is here. Jack took one look at him and wrapped him in a bear hug.

Jack: mine

Talia: nO-

Jack: my baby

Talia: jack yours is over there that ONES MINE

Jack:Our baby?

Maddie:you get him him on the weekdays we get the holidays?

Talia:..... fine

Jason holding a babian and danny and playing 21 questions with jazz:......... what is happening

[thelazydetectivecat]

Danny has always known he's adopted. His parents never really hid it from him. According to them they found him on one of their ghost hunting trips in the woods bleeding out with no one in sight.

The rushed him to the hospital where countless nurses and doctors rushed him to the emergency room. Other than the bleeding there were countless other wounds and scars that needed to be treated along with the stabbing. During his treatment Jack and Maddie were explaining the situation to cops and social workers however when they tried to find his file they found nothing as if he never existed at all.

No one knows what happened to Danny. As far as the doctors police and social workers could guess is that Danny escaped from somewhere dangerous and they hunted him down but didn't bother checking if he actually died. During their time there Jack and Maddie became insanely attached to the child that looked at them curiously with some weariness and slowly warmed up to them. According to dad the night Danny ask them to hug him to help him fall asleep was the night they knew for certain that they were taking him home.

Danny believe them and never bothered searching for his biological parents since he was pretty certain that they weren't good people or the kind of people he wants to be associated with that was until his past came crashing down.

With assassins appearing in Amity park calling him Prince and grandson of the demons head trying to kidnap him and take him back somewhere with the vigilantes of Gotham appearing out of nowhere as well and his parents becoming more wary of the assassins and vigilantes to the point of suggesting that they take a vacation somewhere secluded was sending alarm bells to Danny's head

So he went to the only person that could solve this mystery.

Wes.

Wes figured out he was phantom as soon as he saw him in both forms. That along with some other mysteries makes Wes the only option Danny has as to figure out what's happening and the only one that knows about his phantom identity.

With the two boys looking coming face to face with assassins secret organizations and the justice League what will the encounter and what sort of trouble will they get tangled into? And will this evolve into something more?

[merormerlin]

Objectively, Danny's not really a thorough reader. It's come to bite him a lot of times, whether it's a botched writing assignment or building an Ikea desk that looks as mutated as his genes.

It had been a long week for him, both as Phantom and as Danny. Homework and tests were crammed, with chores and cleaning the lab taking up most of his free time. Then there was a few shades and blobs captured by the GIW, regular patrols and pot-shots taken by his parents at any given moment.

They got really, frighteningly close tonight.

He's just tired. The exhaustion probably played into their ability to clip him. (Yes, Jazz, he'd treated shoulder and bicep, he wasn't a complete newbie at this ghostly vigilante thing.)

He's aching everywhere, worked to the bone, and generally is hating his half-life. Maybe that's why he doesn't question why there's a book and a cryptic sticky note on his bed.

Danny doesn't even question it the next day, when he finally opens it up to see if it was worth his time. Seeing as its about ghost portals, he decides it is.

Because he's a fourteen-year-old and portals are awesome. He might not be the bright vial of ectoplasm in the fridge, but this is a no-brainer.

He's only a couple chapters in before he starts to skim and test it out himself.

Thankfully, he's recruited Sam and Tucker. He tries to follow the depressingly morose instructions, it's just that he's fundamentally bad at that.

It takes a week and times where he's pulling at his hair in frustration to finally, finally get a portal big enough to stick his hand in. He'd reached into it and grabbed something from Jazz's room.

He's definitely getting Clockwork a Christmas present. He's a weird little omnipotent dude, but this is useful.

So, he starts to test it out a little more. Randomly just walks through swirling ovals of ectoplasm into Tucker's room when he knows his parents are away.

He does try to keep it a secret, though. So help him if Vlad found out and tried to learn himself... that'd be a disaster, even if he wasn't successful.

One evening, on the cusp of spring and summer, he's out with his best friends as Phantom. His ghost sense had been going off, but once he'd ventured into the forest, it'd been an ambush.

Sam tried to reason with his Mom and Dad at first. Pleaded for them to see logic in their biases. Danny's been hit with something, and he's dizzy and now exhausted and in pain.

But the grass is growing a bit too fast around Sam's feet in her frustration, and their weapons are slowly turning towards her despite Tucker's loud and increasingly panicked words.

So he grabs his friends, and before he can really think through his options, he summons a portal beneath his feet.

Danny's not really thinking about where to go; it's the instinctual home-safe-please that he focuses on as a destination.

But as they tumble out of his hastily thrown gateway, it's immediately obvious to him that he's not at the Fenton household.

They're tangled out of the floor, Tucker wheezing as he has the air knocked out of him by Sam falling on top. And there's people at a big, expensive looking table, and all of them are turned towards the trio.

His ghost sense goes off. Sam whispers a horrified "Is that Bruce Wayne?"

Scratch that. Clockwork is getting coal for Christmas.

[starwrighter]

Is this a dimensional travel thing? Or do the events of DC and DP share a universe?

Because it's objectively funny if instinctually you're trying to teleport somewhere safe and home but the portal has you crash a billionaires family dinner.

But if they're separate universes I can think of a really cool reason Danny would end up in Bruce's dining room.

The DCU are a comic/tv series in the Danny phantom universe that the trio relied on for comfort/escapism.

Like, the Dcu has a mess of rogues and gritty, grim villainy but there's also protections for heroes and metas. Young heroes are given training! Batman is a respected figure in gotham! Bruce and his allies are powerful figures that can change the world in and out of costume.

The dcu can be dark but most of the time evil never really prevails.

Unlike in Danny's universe where the G.I.W seems to be the law and Danny and his friends feel hopeless in and out of hero persona.

I can see the trio being comic nerds for the sole reason that the dcu has laws that'd protect them if they lived there.

So I imagine Danny teleporting cross dimensionally going "Is that batman?!" At the same Time Sam is going "is that Bruce Wayne??" Before promptly passing tf out

Sam and Tucker are the ones who are left to explain.

[blueknightdg]

Danny woke up aching and blurry-eyed. He was in a nice, but large and plain room where the filtered through the curtains just right and lit the room well enough.

He didn’t know where he was and frankly he almost didn’t care if his brain hadn’t finally caught up. Jumping out of bed in a panic, he scrambled for the door.

A man blocked the door with a raised eye brow and a crisp suit.

“Though I would prefer of you would stay to rest, I have a feeling you would not until you’ve met with your companions once more.”, the man said as he guides Danny down the hall.

He explains they were in the living room, talking to his employer. The man introduces himself as Alfred Pennyworth and that he will have refreshments ready in a moment.

Danny goes along with this because he is the intruder here and doesn’t want his friends to get in trouble for his actions; besides he wasn’t attacked or threatened yet.

Just wait it out until you see Sam and Tucker, Danny; you can do that much.

He belatedly thinks he should call Jazz and make sure she’s in the know when this is over. He didn’t want to know what she’ll do if he stays missing for too long with no contact.

[rynan16]

cross dimensions to find you, that’s what she’ll do Danny… she’ll also probably give you a long lecture when she finally finds you-

[lazyamara]

There’s some great angst potential about the idea that these kids know a hell of a lot about their lives. Because you know they’re going to have to stutter through an explanation of how they know Bruce is batman. They’re going to try and sugarcoat it like “we don’t know everything, like there are different continuities… I doubt it’ll match up line for line… and it’s not easy to keep up with every comic run, that shit gets expensive… but, uh, we know some of the pretty big events…” and Tucker probably doesn’t even realise when he looks at Jason and frowns because he’d always related his story to Danny’s purely for the dead and revived kid aspect, and Jason notices, they all notice, and he clenches his jaw but says nothing.

Then Danny walks in with Alfred and he’s not in ghost form anymore and he looks exhausted and he’s holding his arms around himself like he needs to protect himself.

Sam sees him before Tucker, lets out a relieved sigh that he’s already healing, that he’s here. She was getting more and more tense the longer he was out of sight.

They probably expect tests and requests for proof or some kind of evidence of the truth of their words because this is batman. Regardless of their own interpretations of the character, their reality now was that he’s a real person and he’s a paranoid vigilante that needs to be prepared for everything.

But Bruce asks Alfred to set up some rooms, Sam interrupts to ask that they share, much more hesitant than she normally is, but not enough to not interrupt batman. And whilst Bruce knows what teenagers can be like he can only see the shake in Sam’s hands, the weight on their shoulders, Tucker’s fidgeting. He acquiesces.

Bruce is still going to monitor everything they do, and there will absolutely be tests and confirmations the next day when they wake up after a 16 hour sleep. He probably contacts some of JLD for information about dimension travel and to be a mediator during their interviews.

But they are also kids who look tired and he knows it could be a risk, a trick, but he’s not alone and he’ll keep his eye on them until he has all the facts.

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?

[alien-slushie]

DpxDc Idea

Danny moves to Gotham and buys an apartment building.

It was more just a fun project for him to fix up the building, seeing as how after he took over VladCo, and cleaning up operations, Danny was making more money than ever, even after donating to various charities. So yeah, he was bored and just wanted to get his hands dirty and personally repair the appartments.

Once everything was fixed up, he opened the appartments for rent. He didn't really want to charge people, especially in such an area as Crime Alley, but not charging someone rent is way more sketchy than just asking them to pay whatever they could or wanted to. He ended up just setting the money aside to use on the appartments should it need any upgrades or repairs. He doesn't only take money either, while he denies "physical" payments and/or narcotics, he'll take lessons, like the man in 2B teaching him to sew, or the woman in 5A teaching him how to cook, or the two kids who give him very interesting shiny rocks as payment, there was even a few people who paid by cleaning the appartment building's shared places. One teenager paid rent one month by giving Danny a pair of sickly black and white kittens they found outside(they're named Casper, and Specter, and they're the Building's Managers in Pest Apprehension, and Danny loves them).

Because the appartments are so close to where the working girls/boys run, they make up most of his tenants, so Danny asks them to not bring clients back to the apartments, its dangerous to let their clients know where they live, especially because there are other tenants, including children, in the building so its a safety risk. They all agree, they don't really want their clients knowing where they live anyway.

Some do get stalkers though, and Danny is quick to get rid of them. Or when burglars manage to break in, Danny stops them before they can take anything, and if he managed to miss the burglar, he'll personally replace whatever was stolen until they could get the original stuff back. (Maybe he should adopt a gaurd dog, at least for the intimidation factor. Cane Corso's are medium sized*, hes sure he could get away with getting something like that. Something to think about later.)

A lot of his tenants say Danny is really kind, but thats not how Danny sees it, and its something he loudly denies. He's a bored rich person who was taking advantage of his wealth. Him providing them a safe place to live, and a little bit of comfort isn't kindness, its basic human decency. He's not some saint who is doing this of his own kind heart, he's a normal guy who was bored and just decided to do something helpful opposed to harmful, and he shouldn't be praised for that.

*Danny's idea of Dog sizes is skewed, to him Cugo is a big dog, anything smaller than that is medium to small to xsmall.

Bonus

-Red Hood(or the bats in general) thinks the appartment building was suspicious. Maybe it was some rich guy just being nice, but outside of Bruce, stuff like that doesn't happen in Gotham. Maybe its money laundering, or its acting as an underground brothel, or the owner is actually a massive creep. Either way, they want to be discreet, they don't want to ruin a good thing for people in need if everything happens to be clean happenings. So, they go under cover, Jason acts like a working boy, Damian is a abused kid/teen on the run, Steph is hiding from a abusive ex, maybe Alfred gets in on it and acts like an old man whos boss just fired him because of with no severance pay?

-Everytime Danny starts to get bored, he buys another building to fix up. Not always appartment building's, maybe a hotel, or an auto garage, or an abandoned building he could gut and turn into rec center. You'd think Danny would be burning through money, but no, somehow Danny's happenings leaked and it was good press because people are buying things from VladCo more and more.

[theyaregayyourhonor]

Good parents Jack and Maddie crying as their baby boy goes off to college. They've turned off the portal and are in the process of correcting their initial findings so everyone in town tries to avoid them otherwise you will be subjected to the new findings which mark ecto entities as sapient and therefore deserving of rights or gushing about how Danny is off to college since his small business pays so well. He did so well he rejected the scholarships from Gotham University because he said it would be better going to someone who needs it and they did such a good job raising him because look at how successful and generous he is!

The business in question is more of a cheat since being king of the infinite Realms means he is fluent in any language to exist. Safe, dead, or extinct the status of a language doesn't matter to him. With Technus's help he sets up and online portal where people can submit pictures or copies of stuff for him to translate at a premium price. He refuses to take any money from the fruit loop and the money he learns will go towards his clone's schooling when she gets to that point. Right now she is using it for her travels and sending them postcards.

People who claim his translations as their own get black listed with a huge fee coming out of their bank account for the breach of contract. He is trying to keep his business on the down low so those breakthroughs that get on the news are not what he is looking for. His main demographic is rich snobs with private art collections. What Danny doesn't know is that his main customers are the Justice League.

There are some clues but he kinda ignores them. Like when a document submitted is a summoning ritual he sends back a partial translation since the summoning is not good (there are worst beings they could summon but it will still be a hassle) however revealing knowledge of the banishment is harmless.

Gotham cultists hate him because they know he can translate the whole document/book but all of their attempts to trace the sage of tongues (trying to give invisobill kinda vibes) they find a dead end. They try submitting from different computers, locations, routers, anything, but just end up giving Danny more money lol

The Justice League is almost in tears because the jusyice league dark could not agree on the translation of the banishment ritual and everything they tried before had failed.

His favorite translations are the stories that give alien vibes. They talk about certain structures (he thinks it might be structures) as if they are common knowledge. Unknown to him those are Kryptonian fairy tales that Lois submitted. She didn't want to give Jon a funny accent so Clark can read them in Kryptonian while she does the English.

Duke having a hard time with an assignment, sends an inquiry asking if he offers homework help (he wouldn't be using it for career advancement which is against the terms of service BUT he would be claiming it for points so he asked) and that is how Tim finds out about this sketchy website that can translate anything. Danny feels the sincerity and sleep deprivation in the inquiry so he replies back "I admire your courage and will do you a solid but only if your promise to sleep a minimum of 8 hours. I'll know if you don't and snitch so go to sleep 😴" The translation is attached and already in the format his teacher requested.

Steph: How is he gonna know?

Duke: Idk but he is a life saver!

Tim: Duke, did you just sell your soul for a homework assignment?

Duke: Let me sleep and then we'll see what happens 🥱

Tim is driven crazy because he needs to know who is behind the website. And also because Constantine was kinda in the area and said no. Duke has his soul even if he doesn't sleep, lucky bugger.

Tim feels like the world is conspiring against him when it sends the cutest distraction in one his gen ed courses. He will date the cute guy AND solve this mystery out of spite.

[littleredrobinhood]

DP X DC Idea: Asking a ghost about their deaths have dire consequences. Horrific consequences actually.

Warning: I'm Sleep deprived and english isn't my first langauge

You guys know that trope where "If you ask a ghost how they died, they would relive their death"? Not to say anything abt the ppl that love it or use it but I just don't prefer it bc I think that as it is right now, it nerfs the ghosts just a bit too much. Like I think its even worse than what Kryptonite does to Superman bc not only does asking about their death weaken the ghost it also puts them in immense pain depending on how they died.

There's also the fact that the GIW and the Fentons (Maybe Pre-reveal or bad fenton parents au) wouldn't need ghost weapons besides nets (or smth) at all if it was this easy to bring down a death-born ghost (presumably the type of ghost most common in the living world). Like imagine Phantom having a press conference w the Justice League after some disaster then some nosy asshole reporter asks how he died and lets the whole world know of this Very Easy Thing to do to bring down ghosts, like even 2 year olds can do this, having Phantom out on the field would be considered more of a liability than an asset bc any random goon or villain can bring out a megaphone, or maybe even set up a pre-recorded message with the question on loop.

So what if, instead of writhing in pain to facilitate reveals and angst, asking a death-born ghost "How did you die?" would flip an internal switch within them instead?

Like the ghost (just a random ghost for this scenario) would go still like a wax statue then just locks in on the person that asked them that, and the ghost's eyes are clouded, seeming as if they're somewhere, somewhen else in that moment. But then a smile stretches their lips, growing bigger and bigger as more inhuman, uncanny valley parts of their being seeps through.

The regular humans around them would freeze or shiver, legs weak and unable to bolt, the ghost floats eerily, towards the person who asked them, releasing a question of their own with the whispers of fragmented lost souls mixed within their voice: "Would you like me to show you?"

And then the ghost would very thoroughly teach their asker exactly how they died.

By having the asker go through the death they went through. (Inspired a little bit by Kuchisake-ona)

The ghost isn't in pain and incapacitated right now, the ghost is now a threat, a danger.

But unless other humans are too close to the asker then they shouldn't get too hurt in the ensuing scene. Mostly.

I think a concept like this is a bit dark and has a lot of potential for angst and dead dove type of things, but this brainworm refused to leave my head and therefore I should try to infect everyone else as well.

[neritess]

I love this. The ability to inflict one's death pains on another is great angst potential. There's so many ways this could work too. Maybe depending on the strength of the ghost, the affects can be stronger or weaker, like stereotypical ghost sightings on ghost hunter shows could leave someone feeling slightly dizzy after asking how a ghost died. A stronger one like, for example Ember, could make you feel like you were burning alive if she was in her bigger form. Maybe the affects could be proximity based, or even better touch based. Ghosts usually wouldnt choose to do that to people because they know how painful their own deaths are but people that have been previously warned are considered fair game. I think id be good if it was an intrinsic urge and Danny has to actively fight against inflicting his death pains onto insensitive people

[magicalgirlcrazycatlady]

Danny handing Batman a thermos: Hey, if anyone, and I mean anyone, asks me how I died, use this on me immediately.

Batman: hrm?

Danny: I dont want to hurt anyone. But. It's instinctive for my kind of ghost. I will try to show them how. I'm not good at fighting off that instinct yet. DONT LET ME.

[littleredrobinhood]

Warning: Still sleep deprived

There are two ways I can see the Ghost Death Showing™ going, either by making the asker FEEL the ghost's death pains or by literally PHYSICALLY re-creating and inflicting their Deaths upon their askers. Like "Oh you're so curious huh? Then I'll let you get the full experience free of charge (𓁹‿𓁹)"

Like with Ember (Not sure if its canon, but her burning to death(?)), she'll either make the asker feel like they're burning alive but without the actual fire so the asker just crumbles in pain screaming (to the horror of everyone else bc they likely dont know what's going on) or physically lighting the asker in an inextinguishable fire until they get burned to a crisp or to ashes.

Maybe those killed this way by ghosts have basically zero odds of coming back as a ghost themselves, they just go straight to their eternities instead of lingering or straight up have their soul 'End' if the ghost is powerful enough.

Cue Jason's neurons firing at light speed immediately after he found out this info, wondering for half a second if he can bait the Joker into permadeath soul annihilation via pissed off ghost before brushing the thought away (It felt like a betrayal?¿ to his very being just thinking about doing that to a f€\|°w‽¿ ghost)

[dereknaga]

Of course he'll feel bad doing it to a ghost, Jason, you're part ghost too, you died and were resurrected with Lazarus water/contaminated ectoplasm

[solhunder]

they heard there were some ghosties around that need a butt kickin >:)

DannyMay - 29 ~ Captive

Circus boy! do we think he's having a nice time?

Alt art without the makeup under the cut:

Also this is vaguely inspired by the fic let's pretend the fog has lifted by @anthropwashere. I only say "vaguely" because I didn't actually double-check details like,,,, which hand the missing pinkie was on vs which one the thumb was on. And I'm pretty sure he doesn't have lichtenbergs but I like drawing them.

Also I didn't add his back tattoo because it would be mostly covered and I don't know when he got it. Its definitely not because it's I forgot it.

[dissociativehyperfixating]

DPxDC Prompt

Danny is on the run, having to abandon Amity park and everyone he knows. Luckily, Sam, Tucker and him made plans for this, Sam put some money aside and set up safe houses, Tucker forged him a new identity and a paper trail and Danny closed down the portal permanently.

So no more Daniel Fenton, Danyal Nightingale was on his way to Gotham with the bare necessities and an untraceable backstory.

The only issue, is the Wayne’s keep mistaking him for their youngest member, Damian. By the time he drilled it into their heads he wasn’t Damian, they still won’t leave him alone, asking all sorts of invasive questions they aren’t even being as subtle as they thing they are.

AU in which Damian had a twin brother named Danyal who died when they were 5. Danny isn’t that twin, but he looks a little too much like Damian for the batfam to believe him and his ecto corrupted his DNA beyond recognition so he can’t even prove it. Add to that he has a paper trail that the bats recognize as forged, a good forgery, but a forgery non the less. Daniel Fenton has been wiped from all digital record, and all paper records thanks to Desiree. It looks like Damian’s record, raised cut off from the world without a paper trail and having to build one up from nothing. To the bats it seems like Danyal death was faked and grew up separated from Damian in another base, but somehow escaped the assassin life given he seems to have forgotten his league training.

[hdgnj]

Danny would eventually snap and just stare at them.

“What is it you think you know about me? Huh! You are not being subtle so get it out and then Fuck off!”

He glared at them, with his back straight and arms crossed. Looking eerily like Damian when he was angry. The difference was in his eye and posture. He was ready to avoid and evade not attack. His eyes tracking their subtle movements to ensure he wouldn’t be attacked.

Damian breathed out harshly and nodded.

“ I. Had a twin called Danyal. He was killed when we were 5. Or, I thought he was. but… You look just like me. Like him. ”

Danny ran a hand down his face.

“Oh for Fuck sakes. No. I’m not your twin. I had to run away from my parents because they tried to kill me. They have government sponsors. So going to the police would have ended badly. Now would you leave me alone?”

The group all looked to Cass who nodded. So, he at least believed he was telling the truth. But the lack of previous identity was exceptionally hard to manage. There was no way a teen without help could manage that.

Bruce cleared his throat.

“ How can you be sure you weren’t adopted?”

Danny groaned in disbelief.

“You don’t believe me. Or, well, you think you know the truth. And don’t want to believe you’re wrong. You want me to be your Danyal. But! Even if I was. I don’t have those memories. And I don’t have any attachment to you. Why would I care? ”

That took them all back a bit. It was Dick who tried next.

“Would you not want to get to know us?”

Danny just scoffed and rolled his eyes.

“ why would I? You’ve been harassing me for no good reason? Digging into my past? Asking intrusive questions that have nothing to do with any of you? Why would I put myself into a situation where I had to live with that at any point? Now. I’ve indulged your curiosity. Leave. ”

They could see the way his body moved as if readying for a fight to break out. They backed off. Damian the least willing. He stared, and could see Danyal would not be moved. So he left a card with his phone number on the side table.

Danny sighed as they finally left. Fuck him! He was gonna have to move wasn’t he? Shit where else was safe? At least he could use the secured site to talk to Sam and Tucker. They’d have ideas right?

In the cave the family were… Dejected for lack of a better word.

Bruce: He doesn’t believe us.

Dick: And seems… Wary? Of us?

Jason just snorted. And shrugged. He could understand the kid.

“Well yeah. His parents, the ones he knew anyways tried to kill him. I wouldn’t trust anyone either dumbass”

Cass just nodded and pointed to Jason signalling he was right.

Damian was in the corner brooding up a storm. Maybe.. Maybe he was wrong? He, could ring Talia? No, that might put him in danger. Tim was at the computer still trying to find any trace of a previous identity. But could find nothing. He slammed his coffee back and twirled around to speak.

“Ok! So! Few options. One! He is Danyal Al Ghul, but lost all his memories and was adopted by less than stellar adults! ”

He pulled out a board and started to make a list.

“Two! He is somehow a clone that was just raised by those parents for mad science reasons! Or three! He’s telling the truth and just happens to look eerily like Damian!”

Bruce rubbed at his temples trying to get rid of his headache.

“ Even if it is option three we should still help him!”

Jason just booed him, before sitting up a bit.

“Nah. He’s what 16? 17? Ya gotta earn his trust. And you’ve already fucked up by being pushy fucks. If he’s had parents he loved and trusted and they’ve tried to kill him. He ain’t gonna trust another adult. And Damian wants him to be his Danyal. Which this Danyal can sense. So he’s out. Cass he won’t trust cause she sees too much. Dick he blew up at massively. Me? Nope. Tim and Steph are the best bet. And let’s be real, it’s Steph who would work best. But she won’t want to ruin the show. And she’ll respect that he told y'all to Fuck off. So. Tim it is! Duke won’t work cause he can’t lie for shit yet. Bless! ”

Tim grimaced a bit at that outline. Thought it over and then groaned.

“No! No! I refuse! I’m not doing that shit to him. Cause I get the feeling if I did, and the rest of you fucked it up? He’d never trust me again.”

Cass hummed for a second, clearly thinking and then nodded.

Dick slumped a bit in his seat.

“ But! He needs help! ”

Cass snorted and shook her head.

Tim leaned over to give her a high five.

“Yeah about that. He clearly had help setting up. That ID? Been around since before it was in use. It owns houses in several cities? And has money. Like, a decent amount. He can afford college and a gap year kinda money. He does not need help. You want him to. Because then he has to give in. ”

Alfred cleared his throat to get everyone’s attention.

“Perhaps. In this case. It would be wiser to leave the young man alone? While I dislike the thought of it. Well. He knows where we are of he needs us. Pushing too far will lead to him running. ”

Lex Luthor’s experiments with wormhole tech go awry and makes a portal to the Ghost Zone.

He subsequently wants to use that realm and its inhabitants to try to defeat Superman, but wrangling any sort of cooperation from the ghosts will be a challenge even for him…

Can't stop thinking of No One Know's Au where Wes finds out Danny is Phantom, but instead of telling anyone, he sees how much Phantom does, and how strung out, and Stressed Danny is. So, Wes tells Danny he knows, and that he wants to help him. Danny disagrees, but Wes is stubborn and refuses to let Danny do this alone.

Over time this bregrudging partnership turns into true friendship, and its a connection they both needed. Wes lost his friends when he started obsessing over who Phantom was, and Danny lost his freinds when he became too busy with fighting ghosts to hang out, so having a genuine human connection was great for both of them.

Danny whos been friends with Dick for like ever, so when Bruce is MIA and Dick is left with Damian and Tim, Danny is around to help.

Danny picked up a lot from just being around Jazz, so while hes in no way a professional, hes as close as they can get because the family refuses to seek real help.

He also helps ease Tim into his own moniker, and supports his ideas that Bruce is still out there. But he also works with Damian to find better coping mechanisms, even if those coping mechanisms are chasing Danny around the house.

Danny knows about the bat stuff, they know about the ghost stuff, but Danny is a civilian most of the time.

One day after months and months and months of work, Danny is sitting on the couch talking to Dick, and Damian wanders in. He was up all night paining, on top of patrolling so he's basically dead on his feet. He sits next to Danny and very slowly falls asleep and melts against him until he eventually curls up on Danny's lap. Danny shoots Dick a smug little smile that equates to "Hahaha I am the chosen one!" As Dick pounts jokingly.
