Justice League: Help us kill Darkseid.

Danny Phantom: no.

JL: what? Why?

Danny: I have yet to receive confirmation from the gods that this action will—*glowing green brick falls on his face, a small sticky note falling off*

JL:

Danny:

JL:

Danny: I have now received confirmation from the gods. I will help you.

[naceless]

I think if danny was a member of the YJ wally would get a handle added to the back of his costume so danny can just grab on turn them both intangible and dangle behind him like a balloon whilst KF races straight through every obstacle in his path. Utterly unstoppable

[alien-slushie]

Wraith(Dani): And so yeah thats how Dad trapped his evil future self. *Puffing her chest proudly*

Superboy: Phantom is so cool

Kid Flash: Totally! Think he'd be willing to give me pointers on how to turn better?

Speedy: Man his adventures sound so amazing! Think he would take us on a mission? Maybe he'll actually believe in us!

Robin: Your dad is so cool! All Batman does is beat up a clown once a week.

*meanwhile, off to the side*

Superman: *looks down uncomfortably*

Flash: I could totally teach him that!

Green Arrow: *winces* He makes it sound bad when he puts it like that.

Batman: I also solve cases, and run the Justice League, but sure, all I do is punch clowns.

Phantom: *stepping out of a portal, and immediately gets tackled by Wraith* Thanks for letting Wraith hang out with you today. Here, I made these, in the living world so they're safe. These ones are for the younger heros. *hands Superboy a box of fancy looking cookies before floating over to the adults, all while Wraith is biting his head like a feral racoon* And these are for you guys! They have a splash of alcohol in the batter! *hands Green Arrow the box of more cookies.*

Robin: *shoving a cookie in his mouth* All in favor of Phantom being hailed the "Best Hero Ever" say aye!

Wraith, Robin, Superboy, Speedy, and Kid Flash: Aye!

Phantom: *blushing in embarrassment, but also looking close to tears because hes so used to living people hating him*

Martian Manhunter: Aye.

Superman, Flash, Batman, and Green Arrow: *shoot MM unamused looks*

Martian Manhunter: *eating a cookie* Don't give me that look. In all the time we've known eachother you guys have never given me cookies, this guy we've known collectively for approximately 10 hours and he brought us a gift.

Tourists in the Marvel Universe visiting New York and afterwards complaining to whoever they think the Relevant Authorities are like 'i was in New York for a WHOLE WEEK and Spider-Man didn't show up ONCE' and the relevant authorities (idk. City council?) having to issue a statement along the lines of 'we do not control the Spider-Man' (subheading: he is actually a wanted criminal)

[penny-anna]

Peter Parker (in bed recovering from the flu) (very tired) scrolling twitter like what the fuck is happening

[penny-anna]

#its like ethical dolphin swimming #we do not control whether the dolphins are present #we do not control whether the spiderman is present

company running 'Spider-man tours' where they take you around places Spider-man often visits and also locations of famous Spider-man incidents advertised like 'come to New York and see the Amazing Spider-man!'* (*no refunds if Spider-man is not there.)

constantly getting complains about Spider-man not turning up and responding like 'it is clear in the promotional materials that we do not guarantee Spider-man'

[charlesoberonn]

In both the Marvel universe and ours there's guys dressed up as Spider-Man in Times Square, charging money for photos.

But in the Marvel universe you never know for sure if one of them is actually the real Spider-Man.

Danny is an engineer at the watchtower, and it is everything he ever dreamts of

sure he's not on the moon, but he's in space! he meets and talks to aliens on a daily basis! he can just go out of the station, fly around and come back in! he is very happy with his job.

so when danny went back in the watchtower after fixing a panel outside, finding out that everyone was being mindcontrolled, and danny is the only one who was not affected because he was outside-

well, the only thing he could really do is put the watchtower on a lockdown, and hope someone from the outside notices something before it's too late.(no matter how slim the chances of that are, afterall, almost everyone in the justice league was present in the tower, some kind of urgent meeting)

they don't want a mindcontrolled superheros flying around afterall.

-

or: extremely depuffed engineer danny fenton is stuck alone in the watchtower with mindcontrolled superheros, he needs to save the heroes before it's too late, with only his invisiblity, minor ice powers, flight, and night vision in his arsenal, anything else would be too draining and risky, he doesn't have any ectoplasm here to support him afterall.

-

the first person danny tries to break free from the mind control is the red robin

"why me? why not batman, or superman?"

"you're the only one who I realisticly could pin down long enough to break the mind control..."

"....."

"oh uh-and of course because you're the smartest-"

"save it..."

danny has acquired an ally!

Danny and Tim now get to Home Alone the watch tower together.

“Do you even like me? As a person?”

based on that scene in Batman and Robin 2011 #20

[chiyana]

Some douchebag influencer decides to challenge one of the Waynes to an MMA fight, and he goes with Tim.

Big public announcement, making a big deal of it, mockingly suggesting the Waynes can donate the proceeds to charity, so long as Tim gets in the ring with him, and people are like, Tim? Tim Drake-Wayne, smallest of Bruce Wayne's kids, so baby-faced he looks like a high-schooler even in his early twenties Tim? And there's a huge kerfuffle, people calling the influencer out for going after someone way smaller than him, being a coward by not picking Bruce Wayne or even Dick Grayson, and people egging him on to beat up Bruce's 'girliest' kid and betting Tim will back down and "Daddy Wayne will just bring out the lawyers".

And then Tim says "yeah sure". And yes he DOES set it up so that the proceeds will go to the Neon Knights program, thank you very much, and he doesn't really hype up the fight or seem that worried about it online, and the influencer is talking constant shit and posting videos of him training to get ready to "beat little Timmy's ass", and he keeps trying to goad Tim online but the most he gets in response is Tim going "k".

The day of the fight, the venue is packed, the whole Wayne clan is there to cheer Tim on, medics are on stand-by for when Tim gets badly hurt, and everyone is So Ready for This. And the influencer is a big guy who's in shape, and he's won a few fights already, and Tim looks itty bitty next to him, but also he's a lot more fit than people were expecting? Like he's got more scars than people expected (which was zero) and he's got good muscle tone, and he squares up like an actual fighter, but he's still way smaller than the other guy.

Then the bell rings and Tim wipes the fucking floor with the influencer. He's fast and ruthless, and the influencer gets maybe two hits in before Tim is in his space and climbing him, locking his legs around the guy's neck and throwing him to the ground with his momentum. The fight is fast, which people expected, but it's because Tim hammers the guy and takes him down before he knows what's happening, which people did NOT expect.

Afterwards, people are trying to break down the fight and figure out what the FUCK happened, and one retired MMA fighter admits he pretty much knew it was going to turn out like this.

"Bullshit," the other commentator goes. "Bullshit! How could you have possibly known that Bruce Wayne's kid was a fighter like that?"

"One," the guy says, grinning, "the kid's a Gotham native. Gotham natives fight tooth and nail, even the richer ones. Two, he's said before in interviews that he took self-defense classes as a kid."

"Oh bullshit, plenty of kids take karate classes growing up-"

"Yeah, but 'plenty of kids' don't have a non-meta kid sidekick running around their city. You know how Star City has some of the best youth archery classes in the country? And how that came about after Speedy came on the scene?"

"Oh my god," the other commentator mutters. "Drake's a fucking Robin fanboy, isn't he."

The retired fighter grins wider. "Is he ever. So he's been taking self-defense and martial arts classes from a young age. Then he got taken in by Bruce Wayne, who's first son was raised as a world-class acrobat before Wayne took him in, and since then he's become an Olympic gold medalist for gymnastics, and now he's Tim's big brother.

"And the piece de resistance," the fighter says gleefully, "head of Wayne Enterprises R&D and close personal friend of Bruce Wayne is Lucius Fox, who's daughter briefly dated Tim and who's oldest son is Luke motherfuckin' Fox, one of the best MMA fighters I've ever seen."

"Oh my god," the other man repeats.

"So on top of learning martial arts for years, that's two people directly in Tim's circle who are top-tier athletes, who I'm damn sure wouldn't have let him in that ring without knowing how to handle his shit."

"...So Brad's lucky he made it out of that ring with all his bones intact."

"Damn lucky, even."

[teapotofbees]

The Challenge 

“Hey there, boxers! This is Bad Brad and you’re catching me live as I work my way towards becoming the world’s next best MMA fighter.” Brad boots up his live stream, angling his phone to catch sight of the gym and the two people behind him as he flashes a peace-sign at the camera, only slightly flexing his muscular biceps. “Today I’m working out at my local gym with my buddies Monstrus Matt and Daring Darek. We’re going to start with some cardio and then we’ll see who can do the most weight reps before we do some boxing. Now who’s ready to work until failure?!” 

Behind Brad, his two buddies cheer and holler as emojis and reaction stickers float up across the screen. They set up their equipment and get started; throwing banter back and forth, egging each other on, and pushing each other to run more, lift more, punch more. Brad checks the stream chat and keeps up the commentary, challenging the chatters who say they’re doing their own workout. 

When they finish their work out and head out of the gym, they stop to order protein smoothies at the stand in the lobby, still talking shit as they drum up hype for an upcoming competition. The current topic of conversation? Well, who is the most manly and therefore the strongest winner, of course. 

Brad is holding his phone on a selfie stick, Matt and Darek behind him. “Shut ‘ur pie-holes. Imma gonna take both ‘ur asses down tomorrow. I’m man enough to take on anyone and both’a yous knows that.”

Matt finishes his water, twisting and crushing the plastic bottle before he tosses it off screen. “Oh yeah? Anybody at all?”

“Hell yeah, anybody.” 

“What about…” Snorting with laughter, Derek holds up a magazine from a lobby side table. “Even Tim Drake-Wayne?”

“Yeah, yeah,” Bad Brad laughs at the ridiculous idea. He takes the magazine and holds it so the chat can see the cover where the Wayne in question poses in an expensive suit. Tim’s watch alone would cost more than Brad’s rent. “If he ain’t too scared!”

The three laugh as Brad throws the magazine back on the table and the chat flies faster, comments a blur of amusement, encouragement, or outrage.

“Nah, nah, that pretty-boy ain’t gonna get in the ring with you,” Matt gets out between barks of laughter.

Derek snorts again and agrees with Matt, “Probs’ not, Daddy Wayne will just bring out the layers.” 

“Mhm, but shit, imagine the press coverage, nothin’ like teachin’ a kid a lesson to launch my name out there.” Brad slaps the table with his free hand as he laughs again.

Matt goes to pick up their smoothie order and Darek pushes his face close enough to Brad’s phone camera that the lens picks up the sweat drying on his forehead. “You heard it here first, folks. Bad Brad is gonna teach Timmy a lesson if he’s not so scared that he hides in his fancy office.” 

Lifting up their protein smoothies, Bad Brad and Monstrous Matt and Daring Darek making a mocking toast to knocking out some of Tim Drake-Wayne’s perfect teeth as a milestone in Brad’s future MMA career.

Bad Brad signs off and closes his livestream, unaware of the can of worms that’s started spiraling across social media. 

===

The Reaction

It doesn’t take long before social media platforms are alight with the clip from Bad Brad’s workout livestream. The comments keep stacking up, Gothamites protesting the mockery and Bad Brad followers continuing the shit talk.

By noon, Tim Drake-Wayne has received no less than 10 messages from friends and family forwarding the clip to him. 

It the family group chat:

Steph: Ohmygodohmygod Timmmm you have to destroy him please please please.

Damian: May his destruction be eternal.

Dick: 👀 👀 👀

Babs: You probs already saw this, but just in case.

Jason: Say the word and I’ll punch out his teeth for you.

Cass: 🤔

And in the Young Just-us group chat:

Kon: So… what do ya wanna do about this?

Bart: Cool, I’ll be sure to bring the popcorn.

Cassie: Take 👏 him 👏 down 👏

And then Bruce messaged Tim directly. 

Bruce: Tim. Just ignore him. Please. It’ll blow over.

Bruce: I can come into WE and we can speak with the PR team.

Tim: DW. I’ll handle it.

Maybe it’s because he’s angry about how patrol went last night, or maybe because it'll be funny. He knows that he doesn’t have to prove anything or defend his honor or whatever. So maybe Tim wants to do something different. Maybe he’s bored, or maybe he’s stressed and overworked, or maybe he wants to do something reckless without thinking through all of the details. 

Tim’s reply is rather quite simple. 

After all, it’s a rather straightforward problem with a simple solution. 

And Bruce messages Tim again. 

Bruce: Tim. Not like that. Please take the tweet down.

Bruce: Tim

Bruce: Tim

Bruce: Tim

Tim ignores him. 

===

The Lead Up

“So, Big Bad Brad, welcome to the show.” 

Brad looking like he’s going to bust out of his cheap suit: “Sure thing, thanks for having me.” 

“When you and your friends made your initial comment, I bet you didn’t expect to end up here.” 

Brad: “Nope, not at all.” 

“And yet here you are, Boisterous Brad, claiming that you’re gonna take down Tim Drake-Wayne in what was initially a boisterous joke. So, do you stand by your claim?”

Brad: “Sure thing. Anytime, anywhere. The Waynes could even make it a charity thing, they like doing those, right? Just so long as Timmy gets in the ring. I’ll show him and all your viewers what makes a real man.” 

“Big bold talk, Bad Brad. You know, some people online are criticizing you for picking a target that’s smaller than you.” 

Brad moves to play his arms out over the back of the couch: “Yeah, I can take the heat. It’s about commitment and dedication. Gotta keep my eye on the prize.” 

“You want to punch Tim Drake-Wayne’s lights out that badly?”

Brad: “Nah, this is just a step to becoming the next greatest MMA fighter. The stage is the prize.” 

“Okay, so that’s all that we have time for tonight–”

Brad gets up and moves to the center stage: “All right, lets hear some Big Bad Brad noise!” 

Brad hypes up the audience. 

Brade takes off his suit jacket and his button-up shirt looks very tight. He puts his fists together in front of his chest, hunching forward as he flexes and rips his shirt at the seams. The muscles in his neck strain and a vein pops out on his forehead. 

The crowd goes wild.

Brad: “Hell yeah! You hear that Timmy? You better meet me in the ring! Your nepo-baby hands won’t be able to catch what T’ll be throwin’ down.” 

~~~

Once again, Tim’s response is simple. 

[teapotofbees]

The Lead Up (continued)

In addition to chiyana's amazing prompt, the ideas in this section are inspired by notes from @ghostofmyproblems (I hope I'm doing justice!)

~~~

The next day, Big Bad Brad posts a new video on Twitter, a compilation of his work out routine showing clips of him lifting weights, practicing moves on a dummy, and putting multiple people down in headlocks. 

The day after that is a clip from a livestream where Bad Brad takes on both Monstrous Matt and Daring Darek in the ring and wins.  

And the next day he does multiple reps of weights that are much more than Tim’s body weight.

And the next day he wins an MMA competition for national qualifiers. 

And the next day Bad Brad runs a marathon. 

At the end of each video, Brad puts his face up close to the camera, bold and smug and confident, saying that he’s gonna “beat little Timmy’s ass,” and how “I’m gonna throw him outa the ring,” and “I’m gonna show that pasty white boy what’s what,” and “Timmy weighs, like, 90lbs sopping wet? I just lifted 500lbs,” and “this is what’s gonna happen when I punch Timmy in the face,” and “they better have med-evac ready, ‘cause ‘ur gonna need it, Timmy,” so on and so forth because– clearly and obviously –Big Bad Brad is so much more of a man than Tim Drake-Wayne ever hopes to be.

Each time, Tim’s response to the training videos stays simple. 

And that just makes Brad train harder. 

~~~

The video shakes and blurs a bit like the person holding the phone is walking quickly. Viewers can see a side walk with a few people, a street of slowly moving cars, and the side of an old gothic office building followed by the side of a brutalist smooth concrete skyscraper, before a figure comes into frame and the camera settles. 

“Mr. Wayne! Mr. Wayne! A moment, please,” the person behind the phone says, their other hand coming into frame as they hold up a fluffy microphone. 

Dick Grayson-Wayne turns around, his face lighting up in a smile. He’s wearing a navy blue hoodie over a pair of gray slacks along with black and red sneakers. In one hand he has a cardboard tray carrying four coffee cups to-go and his other hand is holding a reusable bag that appears to be full of snacks. “Hey there, what’s up? And please, Mr. Wayne is my father, ‘Dick’ or ‘Grayson’ is great.”

“Thank you, Mr. Grayson. Your brother, Tim Drake-Wayne, has yet to make a public appearance. As Media Manager for Wayne Enterprises, do you have any commentary on his upcoming fight with influencer Bad Brad?” 

Immediately, Dick’s cheery customer-service mask breaks out into true glee as he snorts a laugh before suppressing his giggles by biting his lip. He’s trying and failing to contain the grin that reaches all the way up to his eyes, stumbling over his words as he restarts his sentence. “He’s, um– Tim is– I mean that– It’ll certainly be a show.” 

The person behind the camera holds up their mic a bit more insistantly. “Can you please elaborate on that statement?”

“Actually, look at the time, I gotta go. Have a good day!” Dick says as he backs up and then turns around. The camera watches Dick walk away for a moment and it’s clear that his shoulders are lightly shaking with laughter as he shakes his head and steps around the next street corner. 

Within moments of the video being posted online, the comments start stacking up.

~~~

Another video that’s a bit blurry and shaky as the holder moves into position. Clearly, they’re in a lobby of some sort with polished black floors and glass windowed walls where employees in suits move in the background. The video focuses on none other than Jason Todd-Wayne and Damian al Ghul Wayne as the camera holder holds out a microphone. 

“So, anything you want to say about your brother’s upcoming fight? Any concerns for him? Any advice? Any bets?”

Despite being Head of Security for WE, Jason is wearing a well-loved red zip-up hoodie over a white button up shirt and cargo pants, a utility belt probably somewhere on his person. He looks down at his brother (because Jason is 6’6 built like a shit brick house) and smirks wildly enough to flash his teeth at the camera. “No comment.” 

As Charity Director for the Wayne Foundation, Damian is wearing a lovely gray suit with an emerald green tie. Even with being on the taller side of average height, he has to slightly tilt back his head to meet Jason’s eyes and his responding smirk is more controlled but no less impactful. “Indeed, no comment.” 

“Oh, uh, really? Because it sure seems like you have some thoughts–” 

Jason waves a hand in dismissal while Damian turns and walks towards the elevators. “We said, ‘no comment,’ now get lost unless you want me to direct you to the exit.” 

“Yes, sir. Right away, sir.” 

The video blurs as the camera falls down to the floor and is immediately cut off. Once again, the comments go wild with their assumptions. 

~~~

The video clicks on and a young woman smiles at her camera as she holds up her phone. She’s wearing coveralls over a button up shirt, thick working gloves tucked in her pocket and a utility belt around her waist. It looks like her nametag reads ‘Lizabet Droite’ even though her username is ‘CroissantCrusher.’ “Everyone say ‘hi’ to Miss Cass!”

As Lizabet scoots her rolling desk chair next to Cass’s, Cass leans into frame and waves. With her hair buzzed down to half an inch, Cass is wearing a moon and star patterned lilac blouse over black cargo pants.

“In return for how I’ve so generously helped to deliver a huge box of letters, Miss Cass has agreed to share a few words about her brother’s upcoming fight,” Lizabet explains. 

Nodding, Cass gives the camera a smile that could be described as knowing. “It’ll be fun.” 

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s what we all know, but what do you think about the fight? Your brother is going to get mauled in that ring!” 

The corner of her black-lipsticked mouth lifts higher and Cass gives a double thumbs-up to the camera. 

For a moment, Lizabet looks flabbergasted and then she doubles down. “Okay so are all of you Wayne kids mad at Tim? Did Timbit do something? Or is there something that we just don’t know about?” 

“Time to go back to work!” Cass says cheerily, thumping an absolutely massive bin of letters onto the desk in front of Lizabet. 

“No, wait, but I need more information!” 

Cass maintains eye contact with Lizabet for a few more seconds before she slowly rolls away in her office chair. 

“S'il te plaît !” 

But Cass appears to be gone. 

Lizabet brings her phone in close so that her face takes up the screen and in a very serious tone she says, “Okay… so angry-siblings not confirmed, but a trick-up-their-sleeve also not confirmed? Something is definitely going on.”

A letter appears to bean Lizabet in the head. 

“Ach! Okay! Okay! I’m going!” Lizabet groans dramatically and then mutters without any anger, “Bête…” and then the video clicks off.

talking to sam like he would also understand watching humanity from the perspective of being *outside* of it

SAM: ... why are you talking to me like I'm not a human

CAS in 8x08

SAM: ... no????

CAS: oh... I forgot again. you are a human being.

*three seconds later, giving ABSOLUTELY no warning before teleporting them, and sam NATURALLY panicking about it*

CAS: Come on, Sam. As the saying goes, "get with the program."

Duke Thomas: What’s your biggest fear?

Jason Todd: That I’ll never be good enough for anyone.

Tim Drake: Everyone hates me and talks about me behind my back.

Dick Grayson: Vampires.

Jason Todd: ...

Tim Drake: ...

Dick Grayson: I got turned into one once and nearly killed peoples. It's a bloodlust, you never know when you'll be fully quenched and every non-vampire is a succulent vessel... But I'm not a vampire anymore and that is in my past.

Dick eats his apple after that.

*silence*

Duke Thomas: Holy crap stick, Batman.

Tim: Can I change my option to Dick Grayson?

Jason: Same.

[teapotofbees]

I fuck so hard with this idea

[ghostofmyproblems]

Hc that aside from Tim who has to do PR and press conferences as a ceo, Dick is the one that does the most media work out of the batkids.

So sometime in the weeks leading up to the fight Dick is stopped on the street and asked about what he thinks of the upcoming fight. Dick just bites his lip and grins and maybe says something about how he cant wait to watch. The clip goes viral because everyone thinks the brothers have some beef going on because why would Dick look so excited to see his own brother get beat up?

Cut to after the fight the clip goes viral again but this time with tags like "HE KNEW" "We doubted but he knew"

i just want an AU where the justice league figure out there is SOME sort of connection between Captain Marvel/Shazam and this one 10 year old and someone starts getting a little too close to the truth (or a particularly outrageous falsehood) for comfort so Shazam just kind of...

"oh yeah I'm actually Billy's imaginary friend."

"what."

"Yeah, the kid's lined up to be a super powerful wizard and all that someday, but in the meantime all that 'magical potential' has to go somewhere, or something, y'know?"

"wait. wait. oh my god. this is why you just disappear when you're off duty and batman hasn't been able to find your secret identity????"

"haha yeah for sure. no secret identity i totally just stop existing entirely. yup."

"doesn't that bother you?"

"no? why would it?"

[makiruz]

cuz like ''the manifestation of a particularly magical 10 year old's idea of a perfect hero'' isn't unbelievable in universe and anyone ever thinks to accuse him of being a child he can just be like ''yall we've BEEN OVER THIS.'' yeah of course he's a lil childish a child came up with him why would it be unethical to go into battle with him he's an imaginary friend not a real kid No Billies Were Harmed In The Making Of This Superhero 

The tags are better, honestly

Bruce forwarding Wayne Enterprises advertisement emails to Tim for him to deal with only to realise too late he's actually been sending them to Jason.

He only finds out as he's driving down town and sees a giant billboard reading 'Wayne Enterprises. Our CEO is getting plowed by Superman. Can you say the same for yours?'

Suprisingly, the share price goes up.

[pintobordeaux]

[ailelie]

(1) Tim knew this was happening. He could have stopped it. Instead he smoothed the way to ensure that Jason's efforts would see print.

(2) This leads to a campaign in Gotham that "Brucie Can Do Better." Because Superman is, of course, from Metropolis and that Cannot Stand. If Brucie Wayne wants a hero, Gotham has a homegrown one he can screw around with: Batman.

(3) Not only does Bruce start to receive letters asking him to break up with Superman and start seeing Batman instead or letters talking up Batman while talking trash about Superman, but Batman starts getting encouraged to ask out Mr. Wayne.
