recently gotham expirienced a series of mothman sightings - with, a cryptid sighting in this city is never good, and also probably a work of a new rouge
all witnesses told a similar story - they were attacked, then the attacker suddently stopped, looked at the rooftop where a lanky, fur covered male figure with a pair of moth wings, visible antenna and large, red glowing eyes stared down at them. After that the attacker called police on themselves.
Even worse, some people belived ithe cryptid to be Batman
-at the same time, somwhere in rich part of gotham, in an empty vacation house-
-This city sucks
-Nigh. (you tell me)
-Well, at least i'm not a horse like you
-(unicorn, not a horse, insect looking asshole)
-Oh fuck off. the only thing worse than being in this city is being stuck here with you.
-(you know, i can just leave you there?)
-and loose only being with opposible thumbs you can currently speak with?
-Hey! i have thumbs!
-This are chiken feet, Dani
-No they are not! I have three front facing fingers and two opposed ones with large claws for both climbing and hunting! I am a bird of prey!
-Winged rat brat
-snort(look who speaks)
-Fuck off Danny
-You are so mean! Me and Danny are going to loose you as soon as we find a goon to use doors for us
-(you know i have telekenesis, right?)
-Hoo, you all are insufferable
-Hey, if SOMEONE used their god like prediction powers, none of us would be stuck in this situation-
-Hoo-
-( do not "hoo" and why do you look like Stolos?)
Clockwork shrugged, as much as an owl could
-( ... You know what? i will go, and find myself somone with opposible thumbs and lacking enough of their moral compas to commit theft for a unicorn)
-Don't you feel bad around bad people now?
-He always did, i think it just muliplied
-(Pretty much, yeah.)
Danny will not tell his family that he can sense their emotions, and that he can sense lies he, too, will keep to himself. He loves his family, but also - they are assholes.
While Dani and Dan bickered he slipped past them, feeling the knot loosening in his chest as he left Dan behind. Coming down the stairs ( with was a struggle, considering the way his body is build) and trotting trough the carpeted halls.
Before his hoofs made harsh sound of connecting with marble he felt a slight weight settle down on his back right behind his hump, bird feet tangling in his mane,
-(Clockwork? any reason you decided to come along?)
-Not Particularly, no, but i do not wish to partake in the bickering of your reflection and mirrorborn
-(An intresting way to characterise them, but sure. Will you go hunting for a handyman with me?)
-Hoo-Sure.
And so the two left. not like anyone could tell since Dani and Dan kept bickering, and the unicorn's magic kept unwanted eyes from prying. This was the way he choose to go about is - if they can see him he will try to convince them to take responcibility
He is a monster- a really pretty, made from a fuck ton of chemicals, ectoplasm, and sea water monster of a fucking 8 metres length of muscle and scales below the black, poisoned waters.
His tail, iridescent black like the deep of this hell hole contracted in anger
He fucking hates this state
He has to be near his "birth place" for the next half a year while he takes control over his new body
Clockwork sent him here with an instruction to not enter the ghost zone for the next week at least, and told him that he will start to get his legs back in two, and in a month he will be able to walk the day and sleep by night in the water, and only when half a year passes he eill be able to go fully human again. The time here moves kind of weird due to god's constant interference here, but, again by eords of Clockwork, it's supposedly the time when a day in his realm is a year in this
Not like he cares much, sunce his fraid moved dimensions the only thing he cares for there is his plants.
It's sad, really, how short of a time they had, but it is what it is, even if it hurts, there is no way of changing it.
He had been careless, too close to the surface, to the shore, too visible and too still
The hit came from nowhere, hard and relentless, he choked on water before fruitlessly lashing out with his tail,spike catching something, before his vision goes dark.
Tim: *talking ab Gotham City rogues* And as you know, we have really deadly villains. Like Catwoman, a conniving, wily cat thief who takes valuable things from others without hesitation.
Danny: Oh, the nice lady that feeds the stray cats and gives the homeless kids food?
Tim: Uh. Sure. There’s also Two-Face, a man who’s murderous whims rely only on a coin toss.
Danny: Oh, that guy who donates his money to charity and sometimes helps defend people in court!
Tim: … are we talking about the same Two-Face here…? Okay, we also have Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze, two deadly people with abilities that can devastate the city.
Danny: The woman who’s taking care of Gotham parks and the man who really loves his wife? I’ve seen them sometimes. They’re cool.
Tim: …… uh huh. We have the Croc as well, an enormous, reptilian creature with sentience that lurks in the sewers.
Danny: *nonchalantly* Waylon. He sometimes protects the homeless kids too.
Tim: *sigh* Sure. Whatever. Well, the Joker is—
Danny: That fucking asshat who hurts people and doesn’t deserve his name because of his shitty, unfunny humor? I hope that bitch dies already, me and so many others have been praying on his downfall but that cockroach is still alive somehow.
Auntie pinkie isn't doing so good, i don't know how much time she still has, they want a child too
A pony
Not a creature of my kind
Discord agreed, so whatever... But... Is it actually right, to create a creature using someone else's lifespan? It is by their will, so i guess it's fine? And Apple-Rainbow-Pie is a great family, i think they will be great moms!
Better than mine, at least.
Auntie Pinkie never saw her child
They were not quick enough
Auntie's Dash and Jack look so dull now, it's heartbreaking
Can you blame them? It's so jarring
One day she was fine, and the next she was ill
It took four days
Discord and Mother did everything they could, but they were just too slow
Aunties decided to sacrifice more energy to change the way their filly will look
I don't think this is a good idea, i do not think it's good to for the child to be a placeholder to find off their grief, they are their own person...
Your art is absolutely gorgeous it deserves to have more recognition if I was Leonardo Da Vinci I would be proud of this generation I really hope you achieve your dream and here's a waffle for you
Shitty half written thing from Halloween that i will never finish
Danny is about 40, with B being 2 years younger.
Danny is, to put it simple, a god. He's not interested in being one, he really just wants to live.
He, for the last 20 something years are a neighbour to Tim, you kind of can call him and B neighbours, but being serious the territory he owns is insane, it's a straight up pice of wood with the wildlife and a mansion. No one really bat an eye on him bc the mansion was owned by him before, technically, as he was an heir to Vlad's wealth, wirh included this particular mansion and the new (actually hideous) one that was devided by a small city owned plot of land. Danny, when he inherited after Vlad turned too obsessive and decided in the moment of clarity to move to the realms, bought out the plot, since the mayor changed and this one was not hostile specifically to to "their" lineage. He tore down the hideous thing, bought out native plants and made a wild bird rescue centre on it, because he could, with a small wild life clinic as an add on because, while wild animals can recover there, they need much more space and clean air to be in good health.
While this is going on he helps God - lead people like Amazonians with connection to their deity by said begins request.
Then Tim becomes a Wayne, and so they share a border now. Danny is interested in buying out Tims backyard to expand the wild bird rescue centre, and the Bats, as they do, investigate to figure out if what he claims is actually what he does
They figure out that he's true to his word, if a bit eccentric, and so they are trusting neighbours who visit each other sometimes, Bruce gets a crush on the older man who has two kids (Dante & Eleanora) and Danny finds him objectively attractive, but he's yet to crush on the man.
Then Hyppolyta calls her daughter to her aid
There's something wrong, and usually they call upon one of the familliar deitys, but he can not answer, and since he lives on earth she asks her daughter to check up on the being and maybe ask for help on the behalf of her land
Where is the deity on earth? In Gotham. Here's adress, here's how to get to deity about the questions and not the usual inhabitants of the lot.
Batman has an aneurysm and absolutely has to be there
So they go, they are welcomed by children of Danny to their basement, that looks more like office than a cult-something.
And then there is Danny, kind of, they look like Danny if he wasn't human. Perfect airbrushed skin, pearly white teeth, silky perfectly done hair and bright, bright green eyes that burn.
The deity wearing familliar human face greets them, asking for their reasons to be in their dwelling.
Wonder woman introduces them and relays her message, batman broods while they speak
Turns out the being slows time down there, creating an artificial pocket dimension, and so the signals of the outside world cannot go through (including prayers and summoning), they had a sudden influx of minor matters to sort trough and lost track of time. The being promises to work out the matter and fix whatever causes silence, and relay their work to Hyppolyta.
Then the Bat steps up, asking and prodding,
And Danny can immediately tell who he is, because in his domain no one can hide from him
He spins a tale for the bat - Fentingale family for generations provides respect and place of rest and belonging to the King of the infinite, and he, in turn provides them with good fortune, helth and safety. As to why he shares a face with the head of the family - his form drives mortals crazy, you see, and so he made a deal with Fentingales to wear a mortal disguise of whoever agrees to it as long as they agree, but he has to have a face in order to exist on this plane
He doesn't go out in the field, but there needs to be a hood. Interdimensional threat fr jl, timestream stuff for phan, and with a note from clockwork Tuck has nothing to do but stert working. He is the eye in the sky por pham, and he does sometimes go out to do the information scouting, but he's not good at physical aspect of vigilantism. So he takes inspiration from Sculcker (?) and Fenton parents, making himself a mech suit that also mimics hood's body shape, but he does have to add bulky plates to the chest and shoulders, because while he does have a great back from working with heavy stuff he's nowhere near Hood, and the bulk that Jason has is placed differently, so tuck has to cover the top part of his body extensively.
Dani figures out being a hood is a family thing, and decides that the moment all of pham are back she will tag along, and, too, pick up a hood helmet.
She doesn't tell ayone this yet tho, and people just start tripping, including in-family stuff, with means that its time to switch things up
The rest, (Maddie & Jack) figure out that they became a family of criminals and decide to join in for fun,
This finally makes the family move in waves and finally, finally switch their gear a bit - thay turn put to be freaking power rangers look alike at the first draft, and they are heavily against it, so the hood gear stays uniform, gaining a symbol on the forehead to distinguish eachother by
Dan fights Jl in an alternative universe before attacking Danny, Flash survivers and reverses time, but due to time dilation of travel and time not matching well he does so after redemption of Dan, with just happens to g𓆣ck up the universe, merging dan,dani, and danny, into one, very gender confused, very educated, very reactive person- and just so happens to switch up some things in the universe
With is- Maddie, Jack, Vlad and Jazz switch genders.
His. Whole. Family!
And if he can somehow, somehow get used to his new family dynamic...
Dpxdc au where trough time shenanigans by flash family Vlad and Maddie become distant cousins, with shifts Vlad's charter from "kill your dad, replace him" to "you do not deserve my Maddie, she's MY sister, get lost"
Danny, who remembers both the correct and new timeline goes to JL to pester them to fix whatever they did
Unfortunately, making Vlad a protective cousin/older brother figure, makes him a good person. Jack is a bad husband. There's an entire episode dedicated to the fact that he's never once remembered his wedding anniversary. So, like. Cousin Vlad is right, Maddie is too good for Jack, but original Vlad is just always being a misogynist about it, which might as well make him wrong.
With is exactly the dilemma! Danny knows that the man originally is a bad person, a d knows that he is good to the family in this timeline, but he is still, generally, a bad person! He still obtained his wealth illegally(as far as i remember, my memory is shit tho) and he also manipulated the election
For the au tho I'm also gonna say that he funds GIW and uses this fact to pressure Jack and degrade him professionally, as well as still holding the grudge for BOTH his and now DANNY'S accident
With DP Absolutely hates, because it's his god damn tragic backstory and he's the only one who can choose how he should feel and react to it!
Dpxdc au where trough time shenanigans by flash family Vlad and Maddie become distant cousins, with shifts Vlad's charter from "kill your dad, replace him" to "you do not deserve my Maddie, she's MY sister, get lost"
Danny, who remembers both the correct and new timeline goes to JL to pester them to fix whatever they did
YA Danny, who took up vaping to cover up his ghost sense, and DP, who, because the Gotham is so infested, breaths mist. The sense in human form gets triggered only by strong ghosts,
while his other form is more of a radar itself, being triggered by most minor of details.
i think its nice visuals, DP could get called like "haar of Gotham" or somthing just as pretentious
Mors turned out a bit too sour, but with just enough spice, the salad is fine and his lasagna is kind of dry, it being vegetarian - he checked up with Sam, she moved from her ultra-recyclo-vegan life style to something more easily achievable.
She consumes milk based products, eggs and honey, but only if they are cruelty free, with she ensures by having her own farm. Tuck, who managed to somehow get both vampirism and lycanthropy holds pigs - much to Sam's dismay, as he needs both meat and blood, and having uncontaminated raw cruelty free meat is, in this economy like having a unicorn.
He honestly adores their lair and the way they take responsibility for it - for both action and inaction, with turned the infested dry land in to a lush native meadow.
He wonders - how does their lair and areal look like? Did they extend the hunting grounds? Did they plant more trees? did they extend the house like they wanted to?
He'll have the time to ask soon enough
Just, he did not even realize how much he misses them, he misses them so badly he might just start crying.
The ringtone from his phone snaps him out of his spiral.
- Hi, Danny<my man, how are you doing?
- Hi Tuck, I'm great, are you in Gotham? Where are you?
- Yeah, so Sammy knows her way around the city, as she did take her art sudy in the city if you remember, so we came straight away
- This is great!
- Yeah, so, you did not tell us your apartment number, or buildings number for that matter, but i did triangle your apartment buildings trough your photos and location, but since you never took a photo out the window-
- Tuck, what the hell?
Danny laughed, a boulder dropping from his shoulders
- You know i meant to pick you guys up, yeah?
- ... Well yes, but ...
- Third floor, 12, with the blue door
- Oh I know that the door is blue.. Sam? Only a floor up!
- What???
dropping his phone, the man rushed towards the door, one, two locks, deadbolt, chain - ripping open the door to come face - to face with Sam and Tuck, who he immediately faceplanted in to, head to his side profile. Grabbing the larger man by the waist Danny picked him up and tossed up
- Tuck! My boyfriend!
And putting down the man and picking up his platonic wife
-Sam, my boyfriends wife!
- Daniel James Nightinhtingale Fenton-Dark!
- Hells and heavens, not the full name!
While continuing laughing he put his friend on the ground, engulfing them both in a bear hug.
- Danny, you bear! You will fucking suffocate me!
- Look who fucking speaks!
Sam, with the most somber of expressions got her face off of Danny's chest and, with tear filled eyes proclaimed
- Both of you use your proper fucking words or I will wash your mouths with soap!
- Doubling over in laughter Danny placed his weight, and Sam's weight he was holding previously, on to Tuck, whose knees unexpectedly buckled, and the now cry-laughing pile ended up on the floor.
When the very serious very professional group of people with very important opinions in their fields actually managed to crawl out of the undignified crying pile on shaking limbs and manages to relocate in to the apartment to drop off their bags, with were squashed to hell and back in the process of crawling across the floor
after some time that they took to calm down and move their stuff to the apartment and finally compose themselves they sat on the couch, hugging
- Right, - Danny cleared his throat, - So should we take a walk while its still day time?
- I came to Gotham, of course i will want to go sightseeing!
- Right, so - Tuck?
- Yeah, man i want to see where you decided to move your haunt to
- Right, great, so how about historic center, then library, then park - we can watch the sunset from rooftops and have lasagna up there?
Older Danny, Teacher Danny, no one knows who's Danny (dc) but batman, JL don't know who's batman
Danny is older than Bruce by a few years. Danny, after one of the errands for clockwork, accidentaly became the inspiration for Gray Ghost. Batman right before y1 (in totaly NOT a Tim behaviour) stalks the Phantom, who he knows is inspiration for his childhood idol (and after extensive research of ghost's activity) and ask to be taught. Danny, witnessing the uprising of vigilantes thinks " well, cool guy, but knows jack shit of the streets" and " it would be nice, if i had someone to teach me when i started" actually takes the man as a student, with the condition that should a new vigilante or a hero ask his help, he will lend them some, be it in teaching, establishing themselves, or actually helping in the battle ( for the right cause, of course)
And some time before Dick - Danny goes onthe long mission, after with he stays away. B calls him sometimes, but they did not see each other for a long time.
they look strikingly similar, to the point of someone asking if they were twins
They are not even related, they checked.
Danny is, just by two centimetres, but shorter, he is also bulkier ( again not by much) and Bruce has a leaner waist. Danny is also usually paler, but right now with Danny fresh from vacation they are sharing a skin tone. Danny would be darker if he spend more of his vacation as a human tho.
Superman & Dick are off world, jason & b are suffering from a concussion, there needs to be a bat at the meeting
Tim is undercover
Duke has exams that he can not in good consciousness skip.
God, even damian is busy.
So, all of JL are expecting Batman to not show up, since they were told that all birds and bats are out of order. Maybe batman will be there as a projection, but the man is definitely down, at least if he's as human as he claims to be.
And then someone shows up
They didn't come from the zeta tubes, they weren't in the room before, there is nowhere to hide, it's just-
One moment, there was an empty corner, and the next batman was there, staring.
They wonder if it's actually bat, they are almost always able to catch replacements, if not know who they are, but this feels like the bat.
Thay certainly brood the same
They have the same heartbeat
They frown the same
Theis voice tho- it is undeniable Bat, but- somehow, it sounds more inviting? Not the right word, but it does force itself into the minds of listeners, and it makes you listen and hear what the other has to say.
They think it's the bat
But
Did he always have graying stubble on his chin? Did he not shave as good as he usually did, or did he dye it before?
And, the lines near his mouth are more permanent
Maybe, just maybe they are overthinking.
And everything goes well, with his old teacher - and friend, bringing back the full report and transcription for the meeting to Bruce, as well as going out on patrol this night to cover for him.
All of the siblings think that somehow either B managed to go out, or one of them got to go and just doesn't confess
Danny, who returned from a long travel, is a gremlin at heart
Bruce, too, is a troll to his children
So they come together, and Bruce dyes his hair " to hide his gray hairs, they are a bit recognizable, and to some, it's enough" and so does Danny to actually hide his gray hair, he actually got it in his early thirties due to stress and being genetically rearranged by the portal.
Sometimes, in the dogs hour, Bruce seems lighter despite the tiredness, his smile lines, that he got from the Brucie side of life, seem more prominent, and he seems stronger.
There was a time B, at 4:56 am, after Jason (almost) passed out on him, lifted him with a bit too much ease, too much grace, and Jason felt loke a little kid again, in the arms of his parents.
Jason never mentions this
So does Bruce ( B knows, Danny always fully transcribes everything that went down in the most minor of details, it's actually who B got his ways of keeping track from)
And then, when the world need more that Batman
And he, again, needs help.
Phantom is long retired, and Bat-armour, spesificly modified so that Danny copies Bruce fully, is right here.
So batman goes through the zeta,
"It announces: A-2, Batman." As he walks out.
And then it announces: "A-2, Batman" as he walked out.
Same length of steps, same heartbeat, same smell, same mentality.
Being near each other for so long gave them a really big advantage on top of everyone around them. They are capable of thinking as the same being, the two halves of the same identity, of the same concept.
They sync their movements in the way that looks uncanny: one will need a pen, the other will hold it, one speaks - the other draws diagrams, they turn their heads the opposite way to each other when they hear something, when one turns back, the other turns in the way to cover his blind spots. To everyone involved, it looks like the man mitosed
Even clones are not so similar
Even mimics slip up
They, however, don't.
And the league leaves their questions until the threat has passed
And then, they (B&D) decide that it's probably better to tell bats and birds first, and then the league, so they schedule a meeting for both, they think that it might be the time to share Bat's identity with the league, but it's after Bat has some good pictures of despair he caused to his children.
Bruce,keeping his image, scowls, and tries to start a lecture, at with he gets his ear pulled by Danny: having good communication, and that includes healthy relationship with your coworkers, is crucial. You also don't mean ehat you were about to say, and we, right now, are out of costume.
Bruce, deeply breathing out: sure. I should argument how i feel as not to come across as agressive. Right.
Danny, clapping him on the shoulder: Yes, you are making progress.
Bruce: i sure hope so.
Jl:
B&D:
JL:
D: I'm his mentor and have a decade of practical experience over the Bat. I also, have an almost normal relationship with my family and children.
Jl: how old are you?
D: couple of months older than Bruce.
D: Well, now, allow me to introduce myself: Phantom, the first to publicly pick up a vigilante mantle. Also, no, I'm not ancient, i just time travel a lot.
The capability to inflict psychological damage that the two of them posses from now on is immense: can you imagine a laughing Batman? Can you imagine one of them coming in the room in such a manner that the other is a mere shadow, standing behind the first unseen, a single heart beat between the two, and then they split?
Or, funnier variant: DP!bat walks in the room, the bat walks into the room, Dick!bat walks into the room, Clark!bat walks in to the room
One of the members, who whitenesed this shit enters: the room is freaking empty
Moving was pretty easy, finding his place - not so much, but one of the teachers got murdered and he has a whole year and a teaching degree he has yet to use, so this problem solved itself.
Gotham is good, actually, he loves the architecture, lack of sun and the constant rain, crime doesn't really bother him, as sane mortals part before him like the red sea,
They feel his otherness and generally don't bother him. Insane ones on the other hand - they were a lot, however much he ghosted them, however he spun and weaved he just could not get rid of all the crazies
But, there are enough heroes, or vigilantes? Bat is a part of the league, right? So he counts as a hero by proxy, so heroes.
They are efficient, sometimes brutal, but he's not against their methods, especially after discovering the "no killing" rule of the Bat.
The apartment he got is in the rougher area, closer to the park row - crime alley they call it, but its quiet nice - three bedroom technically,
But one of them is actually a type of lounge with a pull out couch, one is a guest bedroom, and the smallest one he actually chose as his room - there is only a desk with chair, a dresser, and a bed, he did cover the walls in interesting things tho
Like - his year long record of the sun moving above both north and South Pole! his records of atmospheric readings, his star maps - the six of them from Earth and many more that he made himself - some theoretical, some from visiting different times with the help of clockwork, some actual alien ones!
He also has charts for different gas clouds and specifically star cradles
His room looks a bit crazy, but he loves it!
He actually bought out the apartment, as he lacks no resources with his salary and stuff he stored away in his lair, and he did want a new personal space on this side of the living, where he would not accidently ghost his fraid by becoming fully untraceable
Now! Its late summer - last of his pay for the two months of it acually just came, as it got held back because he was changing banks. He was here for a two weeks, and has two weeks still to laze around and get used to surroundings before the year starts
He has yet to decorate the two extra bedrooms and the actual shared space - a lounge flowing into the kitchen that is separated by a small sitting zone for three people.
Kitchen is stocked well enough, as well as bathroom and toilet - with are separate and he actually prefers them this way.
He owns a dishwasher, a washing machine and a dryer, with is so great to have all to himself and not needing to worry about numb brains not taking out the change out of their ancient forsaken pockets -
Anyway. He better prepare to host guests, as Sam and Tucker promised to be there in three days time, Jazzy will only have some free time in a week, but she did claw out herself a three day vacation on top of the weekend, giving them 4 days
He actually acquired an old sewing machine, one without any electronic compartments so old it might just be older than his grandparents, speaking of which - he needs to visit them? Being dead is no excuse to ghost your relatives
Why did he think of his sewing machine - because he needs new bedding and curtains, and as he is capable of sewing them himself, he will just buy fabric and ask to cut it to the right size in the store.
To the fabric store - and then arts and crafts and then the home improvement - he needs foam to, just as a precaution, secure his window frame, and he also needs more of the wall paint to finish the hallway wall
he will also need to pick up some new tile and grout to go along with it
_____________________________________________
About a day and a half before day x
He loved picking the fabric and sewing, as well as picking all the different things for his home including random knick-knacks, he did have to box them for the time being. Also, he wanted to start with wall paint but ended up doing the tile and fresh grout
Danny really hopes that he will be able to spend some time with Tuck and Sam painting together, it would be so cool! They already made a promise to help him put all the different things on their places, so that was something
then they will go to one of the higher-end restaurants closer to the diamond district, he honestly does not trust the cheaper ones to not use tap water to at least wash the dishes, and he, a person with a doctorate, are not about to microdoses on the tap sludge in fear that he will turn in to the next rogue
... And because he does not want his friends to turn rogue, not at all. They, together, would actually cover a hell lot of ground if they teamed up - both technological and naturalistic approach, with the same goal and the drive-
He really does not want to think about it. Anyway
_____________________________________________
he is really nervous, there is only about 8 hours before they land in Gotham, he didn’t see them in three years, and what will they think of him when they meet?
Sam and Tuck married for tax benefits at 25, and kept their marriage for ability to adopt when they hit 30, they have a twelve year old boy with amnesia that choose the name Dean, to honor him and his siblings, specifically Dani & Dante, who lived with them part time
while Dan finished his degree and Dani visited.
How weird it is to think of them that way - Dante and Danielle choose their names some 20 years ago now? they still go by their nicknames while speaking face - to face, but... when was the last time they actually hanged out? They did not ask, nor did he, so they just...
Fell out of touch.
He should cook something - how about an apple-snickers salad, some fudge and lasagna? And maybe cranberry-ginger mors, he misses it.
When he’d been crowned King of the Infinite Realms at fourteen, he hadn’t exactly been thrilled about it. But over the years, he’d grown to love his role — or at least learned to live with it. Still, he wasn’t ready to give up his human life. So, being the stubborn half-ghost he was, he found a way to stay in the living realm until his final death.
Unfortunately, that didn’t free him from his royal duties. Not even close. There were still endless documents to sign, meetings to attend, and the occasional ghostly crisis to settle.
But apparently, that wasn’t all he’d signed up for.
As it turned out, one of his “sacred responsibilities” as king was to provide the kingdom with ten heirs every century. Ten. Every hundred years.
He really would’ve appreciated knowing that little detail before getting married.
Because, seriously — how was he supposed to explain that to his husband? He couldn’t even tell him the truth about being the Ghost King in the first place, thanks to those same damn rules.
All the tags and additions with Bruce Serial-Adopter Wayne?
Yeah.
Danny can spend a few years fretting. He has a century, and nothing said the Heirs have to be old enough to help by the end of said century. He can Consider It With Care before he starts grabbing random kids.
And WE know:
It won't take long for his hubby to start solving a problem he isn't even informed of.
At most, the topic of kids in general comes up slightly more intentionally than otherwise, amid Danny's fretting. Which just means Bruce is even more confident that leaping to bring home That Baby Acrobat will be okay with his husband, since he knows Danny may worry but is open to the option in general.
Danny doesn't need to actively work on it by the time he's halfway to the first deadline.
Just make all the grandbabies count too. And adjacents. Mentees, as suited.
They gotta count as heirs, not necessarily actually DO anything with that title.
Hear me out - whole jl counts, because as a founder batman is the father of jl and jld, solidified by B spirituality accepting this role and passively motherhening them all
And so does count teen titans and such, as they are lesser branches of the main lineage, making them not direct heirs per se, but as danny does have the option to recognise them - he does, just for the fun of it, plus - he can't leave out the fraid of his children off the will, not like he lacks resources for all of them, so...
Danny sparkles in the sunlight, Jason assumes he's a tw vampire
Part 1
With age being a core bearing mortal affected his human body in a way no ecto contamination ever could.
While he was simmilar to vlad and ellie, they were not the same, its like the same group, but different specie kind of thing, so he had no point of reference for the change
Vlad was turned slowly, so his body mostly adapted his powers in a way that did not spill outside, even if he aged a decade.
Ellie formed her core, then ghost and only then human body, with that came the exeptional adaptation of her mortal body to her beings core, well, being
with means, paradoxically, that she out of all the halfas registres as the most baseline human, while also being a neverborn
there was a time he tried blending in, then, after reciving a higher education he just moved north during the winter and south in the summer, straight up to the pole,
he has good enough education for that, as with age his rouges became incapable of causing him trouble, and he also motivates his need and ability to live in darkness to his "mutation"
how glad are the reserch centers to be "inclusive" while not sacraficing their efficincy. Not that a reserch center at the edge of the world needs to be inclusive,
but so long as is does good by him, he's fine with being a public image boost
Anyway, he was trown out.
not literally, well, they did show him out he door, but he is on a paid leave and is not to preform any work related duties for the next year,
because he didn't take any of the mandatory leave
so he is left with a ton of money, no home so to speak as he keeps his stuff in his lair, and he grew bored of the zone (he wants to leave a little while he can, damn it!)
He used to travel before choosing a career, and while it was fun, he really does not want to do that anymore.
So, America was it - Amity nowdays is a ghost town, no living adult or child in sight, only old folks and their obsessive neighbours bickering over the land,
they are pretty happy with each other in this way, and Daany is not about to live in a retierment home in his late 30's.
So, new town? or a city, city sounds great after the north pole, with the acess to all the goods of civilization...
But he really, really does not want to draw attention to himself with, well, his looks.
So, it suppose to be dark. or, well, there suppose to be a really now amount of sunlight spesificly, with lots of ectoplasm - meaning death or a natural rift (preferably a rift), it is also suppose to be well developed and have a hero, or a vigilante
... That is not a child. or it can be a child and their mentor, thats fine, too.
Funny how just this narrows down his search, to straight up a single city in america - Gotham, the city with highest crime rate on the continent.
There a few other options but they are either underdevelopped and far from any real civilization, or are just - bright. He could deal with lack of ectoplasm as he usually does on work, but the sun and the civilization is a no.
There are a few good things to overthrow the crime rate, not that it concerns him much honestly
