The first theatrical redition of epic the musical was Supposed to be a show stopping event a magnificent magnum opus of live action theatrics blended with shadow puppetry
and as far as Jason was concerned, it was shaping up to be.
Bruce shelled out hundreds of thousands of dollars when he found out Jason and the role of Odysseus and everything was going well until Penelope‘s actor broke her leg.
Now this wouldn’t be as much of a problem if the understudy wasn’t also disposed due to Joker venom recovery.
Now, everyone was scrambling for a solution.
Opening in two weeks they needed someone to fill in.
“Tasha, lee and I are already sirens!”
“Alice, what about you?”
“Oh, on top of Athena and Scylla you want me to be Penelope? I need to be in a rig backstage after different beast!”
Calypso’s actor raised her hand,
“I don’t feel comfortable with the implications if I were to play both Calypso and Penelope.”
The director huffed, “well we need someone! Man, woman, nonbinary, whoever! We just need someone!”
It was a struggle, the crew was roughly 60 members with most of the ensemble helping backstage with the puppeteering and rig work when they weren’t part of the crew or suitors. It was a big cast but everyone was pulling multiple roles in the production.
“I could do it”
The crowd and Jason swiveled to the new voice,
Danny raised his hand awkwardly,
“Polites and Hermes don’t have a lot of screen time and i would basically be sitting out after dangerous, why not?”
That’s right, Danny was banned from playing a suitor to keep his Polites image clean.
The director raised his brow “you sure about this Danny? You’re going to have to kiss Jason.”
Danny turned and threw a exaggerated wink at Jason,
“Aw you’re saying it like it’s a bad thing!”
Suddenly Jason was a lot more flustered than he was previously.
Bruce stared. He knew. To be fair the strange little... Ghost(?) was turning longer as he wrapped around his eldest son's chest and started purring. The little vest he wore with the glowing words "Emotional Support Ghost! Working, please don't disturb" were lightly vibrating.
"Alfred...?"
"Yes, Master Bruce?"
"I think I'm hallucinating."
"Not at all. Master Dick has found the little ghost in a dumpster and has taken him in. He takes his work very serious." Alfred sounded proud and happy. Bruce understood, seeing any of his kids happy would always make him filled with love and happiness too.
It was still strange even if the little ghost was cute. (Until he bit Damian when his youngest tried to stealthily pet him)
Headcanon that when Danny doesn't get enough sleep, if he's tired enough, he'll cram himself into his locker to take a nap, that way if he's found out he can lie about Dash shoving him in there and him being unable to get out so he won't get in trouble. Most of the time the teachers belive him without question, cause it's Dash, and that sounds about right. And if Dash tries to deny it, Danny just gaslights him into believing, 'oh yeah, I did shove him in there.'
Sam and Tucker are the only ones who know the truth about the whole thing and find it kinda hilarious.
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.
He also keeps a large supply of condoms, pads , tampons, diapers , wipes and whatever else people need on hand in his front room for everyone to use as needed.
He also gives random classes on the rooftop from time to time.
Sometimes it’s self defense, other times it’s safe sex or worker’s rights and stuff like that.
Just Danny trying to do what he deems necessary for a healthy living environment.
“Once he realized what he really meant on the flyer”??
Well NOW I’m curious what the flyer could’ve possibly said. “Angry John needed for a lesson”? Or- “big dude needed for assault demonstration” oof that one sounds bad. “Assault defense demonstration”. There, that’s better.
And you know that scene from Miss Congeniality where her act gets sabotaged and she uses self defense as her back up Talent and punches a guy in the nuts on stage in a frilly dress? I’m picturing that scene but it’s Danny demonstrating on Jason. 😂

What if, Danny considers all the storyline as part of the service.
Sam, Danny, Jazz, Tucker and Dan create the characters with so much love. This are they're OC'S y'all.
The characters have backgrounds, but more importantly their current situations. Why are they working here?
Anna is struggling financially and her parents are threatening to throw her out, so she's desperately trying to get money before that happens.
Joseph is saving to finally get formal education and finish highschool. He wants to be a good example for his future kids and be able to afford they're education.
Angeline is so happy to be a head chef. As a women, it's been hard getting this position, despite all her years of experience in the kitchen. She's still working on balancing being too soft with the people under her, and being too strict. But she loves this job so much.
Things like that. And their wardrobe and character design! They all spend hours around Danny asking him to change and adjust like one of those girl games where you created your own doll. But you have infinite options and complete freedom.
“Could you make the hair a tan bit lighter? No, no, that's too light.”
“Sam, it's almost the same color!”
“No they're not, and I need something in between!”
"I think the nose should be bigger? Yeah yeah like that. And let's put a mole here!"
"Ellie, there's already a mole there."
"Well, then make it darker, because I can't see it!"
Danny got a phone just for this, where he keeps the characters notes. The phone Gallery is full of photos of him in character wearing all the possible wardrobe the character would wear.
At some point Paulina and Star are pulled in to create some outfits. Maybe they know about Danny, maybe they don't and they simply say that some co-workers need help with their fashion.
Sam, Danny, Jazz, Danny and Dan reunite every now and then to put together storylines. It's open improv so they're not writing scripts but more like events that need to be reached. (Choose whoever you think is speaking)
“How ready are you for kid characters?”
“Uh… haven't tried yet?”
“Because I've been thinking that Alice could be a teen mom!”
"She's like 23, a bit old for teen mom, you know?"
"Was a teen mom 🙄. The kids is like 8."
“Wait, isn't Alice going out with Mark? The Mark that has explicitly said that he absolutely never likes kids? The one that was thinking about proposing?”
“Yes, so picture this. Alice comes to the restaurant for whatever reason and it is revealed that Alice has kids, and never told Mark!”
“Mark has a temper, it would be a whole screaming match! The drama! Will he reveal he was planning to propose?”
“Okay, okay, but we need some ground work, we can't just get that out without any hints.”
“Well, it'll take me a while to get a kid right.” Danny says while making a clone half his height but with all the proportions wrong. “So we have time for that…”
They're all aware that the clients go to the restaurant more for the absolute soap opera that the workers have for lives, than for the food. Sure, the food is good, but the drama? The friends to lovers, the love triangle, the break ups, the return character for last season.
It works because no one knows these people outside of the restaurant so it feels like pure gossip that doesn't actually affect their community, but also they can interact and affect the story!!! And the community is closer than ever because it's impossible to be there for every scene, so they rely on each other to be up to date.
The whole bats being suspicious still work, since they all may have forgotten the characters should have some life out of the restaurant, that is seen instead of just told. Characters are only seen within the neighborhood for special scenes in the neighborhood bakery, and whatnot, but they'll always be back at the restaurant or disappear before they can follow them anywhere else.
There's no way all these people live there, and it doesn't match with how they act in the restaurant at all. What's going on!?
Danny's becoming the best actor in history. In the end, all the duplicates are still him. He just wished to know how Vlad did to reintegrate the memories of so many duplicates without getting a headache.
Jason goes attends a gala undercover to try and catch Vlad Masters red handed in his crimes.
While mingling with the crowd he met Danny, a lovely and everything Jason wants in a partner, so it was love at first sight. Through small talk, Jason finds he's a Fenton (another family that is under watch by the JL).
The problem? Vlad does not aprove of this and manipulate the Fentons (even Jazz, who's knows what the fruitloop is like) into not approving the possible relationship.
Vlad knows that Danny values his parents opinions and will cave in to their wishes, it's only a matter of time. And it's and perfect way to convince force Danny in becoming his son, and no way will Daniel marry someone he doesn't aprove of.
So now we have a bunch of misunderstandings happening and getting in the way and making the Waynes and Fentons hate each other, Jason and Danny trying the best they can to get together, and the internet watching this.
The best part? Some random dude saying in a post that Danny and Jason are so Romeo-and-Juliet coded it not even funny anymore. It spiraled from there and ended up with everyone thinking that they're the reincarnation of Romeo and Juliet.
And now you have all of Gotham, trying to run interference so these two get their Happy Ending.
Bruce: Yes. His name is Clark Kent. He can be trusted.
Danny: Okay. *Writes note down* What about the woman next to him?
Bruce: That's Cat Grant, and no, she can't be trusted. Everything you say to her will turn into a gossip-lifting, life-ruining article.
Danny: Got it. *writes more notes*
Jason, watching the two from a few feet away: Say, who's that kid Bruce is media training? Is he a new ward he took in?
Tim: No, that's Danny Fenton, the face of Fenton Works. They signed up as a sub-company of Wayne Enterprise. Originally, they were a paranormal investigation and capture company- yes, I mean ghost hunters- but it was discovered that almost all thier tech can be used on metas. Bruce wants to make medical equipment that can be used by our enhanced citizens.
Jason: I see. But why a kid so young? He's your age, right?
Tim: Hmm, apparently his parents, the owners of Fenton Works, made him CEO so they could focus on ghost hunting and the occasional meta medical machines for Bruce. He got here a week ago to shadow me for CEO training, and Bruce stole him after they met outside my office. Danny hangs onto his every word, and I think Bruce forgot what it was like to have a kid actually listen to him.
Jason: Ah thats makes sense. What do you think of him?
Tim: Well, he's a little naive, easy to trick, and has way too much empathy for the cold world of business. I'm gonna have him in my bed.
Jason: Ah....well that took a turn. One I do not like so I'm gonna....*walks away*
Tim: He will be ✨️mine✨️
Bruce overhears everything from the bugs he planted on his kids: Danny, go ahead and change Tim's status. He can not be trusted.
Jason: I love this place. *shoves a peice of fudge in his mouth*
Dick: Let me try- *reaches out but gets his hand smacked* Ow! Stingy!
Jason: You have your own food. *eats more* Oh my God, I would marry whoever made this fudge!
Dani, popping up from seemingly nowhere: Really~? Because hes single!
Dick: *snorts loudly and chokes on his cake*
Jason: Woah-uh I was exagger-
Dan: Dani get over here and help me fill the display!
Dani: Make Danny do it! I'm trying to get him a boyfriend!
Jason: Wai-
Dan: He's making the Smith's 9 layer wedding cake! He's only one with the patience to decorate that monstrosity, you have to help me!
Dani: But Danny's going to be alone forever if I don't help him!
Tim: Wow. *munching on some chocolate-expresso candied popcorn*
Jason: Look, kid, what I said was just an exaggeration! I don't actually want to-
Danny: I heard yelling. *walks out of kitchen with flour on his apron, hot pink icing on his cheek, and really bad eye bags*
Jason: Ooooh wow *blinking rapidly*
Dan: Dani isn't helping me set up the display cases!
Danny: Okay, Dan, you don't have to get angry, deep breaths bro. And Dani, please help Dan? I'll give you an extra week off as soon as wedding season ends, I promise.
Dan: Fine.*starts doing some breathing exercises*
Dani, immediately cowed: Sorry Danny, I'll get to work.
Danny: Thanks. *gives her a greatful smile before heading back into the kitchen.*
Dani: Sorry for bothering you sir-
Jason: Whats his name? His phone number? How do I get to know that God of a man?!
guy who stands on street and spins sign for quiznos
being spider-man
and thats IT i dont want any of this “hes a genius tech ceo making millions” SHIT. Spider-man is BROKE and he missed rent this month and he has a tiny apartment and thats how its MEANT TO BE. he doesnt make money because he is our Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-man and not fucking Tony Stark.
im imagining “being spider-man” as his full-time gig and i just
he has a patreon. the description is just the words “I’m Spider-Man” and all he ever posts is specifically-requested selfies from people who want to be sure its really him. pinned to the top of the page is a picture from the top of the empire state building (not the observation deck, the real top) of his spider-gloved hand holding a bagel that is on fire, with 34th street in the background
Bruce and Vlad freaking hate eachother. Its a known, very public fact. Bruce doesn't even slip into his Brucie persona to deal with Vlad, thats how much they hate eachother.
Danny is Vlad's heir, mostly against his will. Danny only says mostly because he did eventually agree to the situation, but only after Vlad threatened to make Dani his heir, which would tie her down and steal her freedom. So now, Danny has the "fun" job of learning how to run a company, and invest.
Tim is Bruce's CoCEO, and its pretty well known hes more than likely going to take over the company at some point. He already did at one point, he was already a CEO, he had a large quantity of WE's shares, and Damian, as he grew and matured, seemed less and less interested in being CEO once he saw all the paperwork, and morons Tim and his Father had to deal with daily.
Do Danny and Tim share the VladCo vs WE feud? No, its quite the opposite in fact. Everyone with eyes can see how fond the two young men are of eachother. As much fun as the Bruce v Vlad verbal brawls are to watch, watching Danny and Tim dance around eachother like twitterpated sparrows is even more fun to experience.
But, Bruce and Vlad are quick to yank the two young men away from eachother. And its heartbreaking for everyone to witness, and or read as the two young men are kept apart by their stubborn bosses.
Basically, Romeo and Juliet but if it was Corporate, Gay, and the dead guy is only half dead.
