Clockwork can see every potential timeline and does his best to ensure the best possible future
That future required Danyal Al Ghul to become Danny Phantom.
So after Thalia had her twins, one of them vanished without a trace, no matter how the league searched, he was nowhere to be found.
Talia made sure Damian had the best of everything, made sure he was forged into the deadliest of warriors so no one could ever take him away from her.
But she never stopped searching.
When Danny left amity to go to college, he figured his biggest concern would be avoiding the ghosts of Gotham, not being hunted every night by a crazy ninja woman.
All he wanted to do was get his engineering degree and build spaceships!
He didn’t know what this lady wanted, but he sure as hell wasn’t gonna let it stop him.
Things finally came to a head when he was avoiding the ninja and ran into some rich kid. The boy sneered at him and told him to watch where he was going while his friend was freaking out.
“Will you shit up drake?! Shouldn’t you be in a board meeting right now?” He scowled.
Danny rolled his eyes as he tried to pick up his stuff and get away from the crazy lady hunting him.
“What the hell Damian?!? This guy is basically your clone and that’s how you react?”
Danny sneered, “are you joking? We look nothing alike!” He said, rolling his eyes. He saw the ninja lady approaching on the left. “Tch. Now I’m gonna be late for class, thanks.” He huffed and raced in the opposite direction of the ninja.
Damian glared at his brother, “honestly drake, have all those concussions finally caught up to you?”
Tim just looked between him and the boy rapidly making his way across the campus in shock “Are you-“
“Damian!” Came the familiar voice of his mother “which way did he go?!?” She asked, frantically looking around.
“Who?” He asked, narrowing his eyes at his mother.
She froze when her eyes landed on the boy that just ran into him. “Your brother!” She rushed after the boy “I won’t lose him again!”
She said, leaving behind a shocked Damian and Tim as she vanished.
Somehow, Danny hadn’t expected things to get worse.
He should have known better.
So now he was sneaking into his apartment at 2 am, trying to avoid not only the ninja lady, but also the entire bat clan!
When he finally made it back to his apartment he froze before his hand touched the door, sensing another person in his temporary haunt and sighing.
This was the third apartment in 2 weeks.
He turned around and vanished down the hall, leaving his key and a note in the leasing office.
“Was it really necessary to not tell the young Phantom about his true origins?” Pandora asked clockwork as they watched him search for a new apartment.
“You are free to tell him any time you wish.” He said with a grin.
The watched as Spoiler face planted as she tried to tackle Danny before he walked through a wall. Searching frantically when she couldn’t find her quarry before stubbing her toe when she decided to vent her frustrations.
Pandora cleared her throat, “well…I don’t see the harm in the young king getting some extra evasion practice in.”
Clockwork smirked, holding out a bowl of glowing popcorn to the giantess. “Popcorn?”
