Jason's body jerked on reflex when he felt someone grab his hand. Unable to pull away he swiftly looked down to face his assailant. The curses he was going to yell died on his tongue when he saw a little kid trying to pull him somewhere by his arm.
Dumbfounded, he asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm kidnapping you!" The kid growled, feet skidding on the ground where his ratty sneakers couldn't gain enough traction to help the poor kid. "How are you so heavy?!"
Jason, in all his 6ft and 200+ pound glory, just stared at the kid whose hands were too small to even cover one of his, what was he? Five? Jason lifted his arm taking the kid up with it. The kid looked so shocked by this and Jason took the opportunity to start asking questions, "So what did you wanna kidnap me for?"
Snapping out of his shock the kid replied with, "You are very dad shaped."
"What."
The kid seemed to realize what he said and backtracked a bit, "I don't need you to be my dad-dad just my fake dad."
That clarified things a little, "Why do you need a fake dad?"
"To avoid the foster system! I heard Gothams is really really bad and I've been living just fine on my own!" on his own?! A kid this small?! "But im pretty sure someone called the child cops or something cause people in suits keep trying to catch me or talk to me."
Aka Danny finds out hes a clone and is deaged to his actual age and is roaming around Gotham in the DC universe as a homeless farel child who keeps doing deranged things.
the plot twist is that the people in suits are just the rest of the bats.
YOU MADE ME CHOKE ON MY CAPRISUN
Now all I’m seeing is tiny Danny hiding behind Jason when the rest of the bats come barging in. There’s that split moment of perfect silence of bats looking at Jason and Jason staring back at the bats. Then of course Danny pokes his head out from behind Jason and stares at them too. They stare back. Much confusion is held. Then suddenly,
“See! I have a dad so you can’t take me!” Danny yells at the bats. Cute chubby baby fat cheeks pursed in a frown. Bright blue eyes flickering with determination.
“Jason, explain.” Batman says flatly.
“You know as much as I do. Now get the fuck out. You’re making my son feel uncomfortable.”
The real question is why the bats were so insistent to look for him in the first place. I mean, yeah he's a clone and looks like a tiny version of that bat (bonus points if its Jason and neither of them realize it) but I also like to think he originally got on the bats radar by blowing something up
No no, he didn't blow up anything that the bats know of instead, he managed to steal the tires off the bat mobile without getting caught until he was running away with the tires but accidently dropped one and went back for it.
Dude that’s fucking terrifying. Like no thank you. But I do imagine that he would roll some of the smaller older kids down abandoned roads and streets. He flies next to them to make sure they don’t go too far off course a no stops them before they can manage to roll their way into traffic or something else.
This makes me think of an au where Danny accidentally overshadowed a batmobile tire (why? Maybe he was trying to overshadow the batmobile or Batman himself) and now is running-rolling?- around the city while dodging very confused bats who keep trying to catch this runaway tire
Wasn't there a Steven King novel about something like this? Danny is having a blast and is just trolling everyone. Heros, villians, anti-heros, heck. Even the civilians. Its awesome. Too bad he can't speak like this cause his witty one liners are hilarious (according to him)
but what IF he managed to overshadow the batmobile? Idk I just really like that idea.
I'd be freaking screaming like if said rogue wasn't religious that BOUTTA make em a man or woman of God in that moment alone
