All I can say, is I was so bored I've been alternating scrolling through Tumblr and Pinterest for the past 4 hours... And suddenly I have an idea.
We get Danny in so many stories. We have Danny I'm many shaped and forms. We have Danny good day and bad day. We have Danny friendly, Danny gremlin, Danny non trusting. Danny 'wtf is happening' and Danny 'what do you mean people can't just make friends whenever they want?'. Danny 'imma just adopt everyone I meet into my fake family'. And so on and so forth.
So hear me out.
Danny, whos friendly with the Gotham villains, because yes they're villains but they're not monsters like the joker bastard. In particular, his bff/fatherly figure is Mr freeze. And 2nd almost bff/almost mother figure poison ivy
Danny on a no good, absolutely horrific day, worst time in his in life fleeing to the west after a horrific unintentional reveal caused the death of his sister and ex parents Maddie and jack Fenton when jazz blew up the portal after freeing him from a direction table.
So now he's in Gotham, surviving in the streets.
But there is one problem. Danny haddnt realized how u normal Amity park actually was.
In Amity it was normal for people to have certain features like freckles, eyes, teeth, birthmarks, hair, ears or even nails to be 'unnatiral' whether that be some sort of glowing, being elongated or sharp, very uniquely snapped etc.
It was also normal for people to have a need to either take a bath in extreme iced or boiling water just to bring their personal body temperature to a level that won't make them on the brink of a fever.
And unfortunately because of Danny being surrounded by the cause of this since he was just an egg and sperm, he has it quite heavy.
Almost a fantastical looking boy he was to others. The pointed ears, glowing freckles, moon shaped birth mark on his neck, emotional glowing eyes, occasional hissing or purring.
But most specifically, the need to be on the brink of freezing otherwise he starts feeling like he'd pass out from a heat stroke.
Now before he coped with this by using his ice powers, cooling patches, wearing summer clothes 24/7-12 month a year. But what was normal in Amity was far from normal in Gotham.
Danny: in Gotham in the middle of April, hiding out in an alley way sweatting proffusely wearing a pair of lose, breathable jeans and a thin and extremely lose NASA t shirt with a pair of converse. Gone through his 7th bottle of water half way through the day, trying to generate some ice but not able to do much as all his energy is focussed on healing the skin that had been sliced open joy even a week before.
By a stroke of luck, he's in the area when Mr freeze attacks. And all Danny can figure out is that just moment ago he was half way to unconsciousness in a back alley hiding from ppl to not bring attention to himself and his freely looks. And next, he's encoumpased by ice his body temperature dropping rapidly and bringing relief to him, allowing his energy to go back to healing him and not also trying to bring down his temp.
He sighs with relief before collapsing from the exhaustion. But the bats don't take him out the ice. Why? Because they didn't know he was there. After all no cameras, hidden in a closed off alleyway, out of sight, no calls for help, no detectable heart beat do to Danny being deathly slow and weak.
Danny wakes up the next day, mostly melted ice with some clumps still clinging to him. Thats when he remembers the villain Mr, freeze.
Danny will be honest he spent the next week trying to find any word of the supposed villain. But he couldn't find much. However after the week his injuries had healed enough he could start generating some ice. So he'd get by daily by freezing his midsection under his shirt.
Days pass and Danny is going by normally. When one day when he's sitting/sleeping in an abandoned garden he encounters poison ivy. At first ivy is angry a ignorant person is polluting her garden and intended to scare him out, but then she gets close to him and wraps vines around the sleeping boy and recoils after the freezing feeling shot through the touch.
When Danny wakes up, he finds the said plant lady start to interrogate her. And Danny? He feels comfortable because she's also not 'normal'. He explains his boddy temperatur needs.
Which in turn gives ivy the idea to introduce him to freeze. So for now she let Danny stay in her green house with her and Harley. It helps that Danny doesn't mind eating meat prominent meals around her, and that he has a love for plants thanks to Sam.
Eventually ivy brings Danny along with her to the villain bi weekly meetings up game/movie night.
She introduced Danny, explaining that he wasn't a normal human and was okay being around ivy and needed to introduce him to Victor (Mr freeze).
To say that Danny hit it off well with everyone there was an understatement.
Waylon (Croc) loved the inhuman looking boy, they liked to play wrestle sometimes, and Danny helped salon protect the street kids around crime alley and old Gotham sometimes.
Ed (riddle) enjoyed giving the kid puzzles, and testing out puzzle games he was creating for kids around the poorer part of Gotham and Danny obliged the clockwork riddle talk helped him alot.
Selina (catwoman) adores the feline little kid especially since he helps her feed the strays and donate some of her 'borrowed' riches to food banks.
And Harvey (teo face) enjoys the kids ability to medley with his mentality and helps him organise the occasional cases he take up for some civilians.
Harley loves the little boy as she's noticed he helps bring out the best in everyone and in general just is a laugh for her to be around him and he helps her girlfriend and best friends with their side works.
But Victor? (Mr freeze) He take the most liking to the kid. His wife loves Danny, and Danny can be around him without having to bundle up like he's headed to the Arctic.

Danny doesn't have anything bad to say about any of them. And he spends more and more time around Victor, enjoying the fact he can save energy and won't overheat.
Victor and Pamela are his favourites. And both of them love him equally. He helps with Ivy's plants, and rounds together street kids to help her so that she could make vines for the kids to play with occasionally like on climbing frames.
And Victor doesn't need to accommodate Danny when he starts at his place which he had modified to be able to go to sub zero temperatures when he's there, and just in general he starts feeling familial love towards Danny. Subconsciously he starts referring to Danny as his son without even realizing.
It has been months Danny had essentially become family to these rouges. The only exception is joker, not even the rouges like joker. They hated to be put in the same category as that monster.
Danny is hanging out with the group when he gets an idea during one of their tea times.
Danny: what if, just hear me out. What if we create a day or days in Gotham where it was just like you guys using your powers to like make a fun day for gothamites?
Ivy: what do you mean?
Danny: like. Okay, so it's approaching summer time, and Gotham will be horribly hummid, so what if Vic does like a ice skating thing for everyone to enjoy? Or ivy you could do some plant art in pride month? You see what I mean?
Riddle: That thought is true, we could see it through quite well, your ideas ring so much like a bell on wedding days.
Harley: oooo, that sounds like an amazing idea. Then Ed could do something like a puzzle room night? Oh, oh and Waylon could do building work and all tha' oh, oh and-and-
Ivy: harls, dear take a breath.
Victor: I like that idea. But how would we know if the citizens would take it well?
Waylon: how we know, that they won't be scared?
Riddle: we start with one, and ends in fun. If it flops we drop the thought.
Danny: exactly. Lets do the ice idea first?
Ivy: ... You just want a day you don't need to be wrapped in ice.
Danny: okay yea, but! I thought of the people for this idea too. Waddya say?
Everyone: okay/yeah/lets do it/yes.
Over the next week they planned their summer ice skating session. Danny visited the library to create some posters and printed them off. Decided on the place and handed them out all over the place.
When the day arrived Victor arrived to the large grazz park ivy grew for him to freeze over to see a crowd big enough to fill half the Gotham museum. Most of them holding the flyers, some holding some warm clothes and everyone holding a pair of skates.
Victor smiled. Truly smiled. He greeted everyone, and warned them to step off the field for now to let him freeze it over, and explained that he would go around every 20-30 minutes refreezing more melted parts, then finished by wishing them fun.
The next few hours were spend with kids, adults and families having fun skating around, throwing some snowballs around after Danny also got the idea to create some snow. More people started arriving throughout the session. And even the Wayne family and friends came to skate, apparently some businesses closed for the day or closed earlier because even the managers wanted to cool down on the hottest day of the year so far.
It was safe to say that bey the time it was turning night and everyone left Victor had felt the most happiest since before his condition affected him.
---
Side idea to this---
Danny at least once a week asks Victor to just freeze him with his gun so that he could sleep in peace especially since it was approaching summer and heat waves were be coming frequent. Danny would stay over at victors place more often than not as it was the only place he felt the most at ease in this horrendous e heat.
So when the batfamilly crashed victors house and kidnapped Danny thinking he was an endangered civillian that Mr freeze took hostage, they done and fucked up.
It was bang in the middle of summer, and he was being held hostage in a cave/cell because the bats thought Danny had been mind controlled and deemed him a danger to himself especially as his core temp had been so low and wasn't reacting.
So when Mr freeze had come home from a discreete shopping for some food to find Danny missing his stomach dropped. He called, Pamela after Harley didn't pick up, then Ed, then Waylon. Non of them had seen him. And hour passed, then two. Then Victor gave in.
He didn't trust the gang he employed to find Danny, every one of his friends were already looking. The only ones left were the bats.
So there he was, on a roof in shooting his gun up in the air, occasional freezing a lamp post trying to catch the attention of the bats, or at least the one day bat he knew patrolled during the day.
And eventually he came, signal snuck up behind him making a snide remark not attacking ad there hadn't been ant actual casualties and people were actually great full for the ice, before stopping after seeing Victor look panicked.
He spoke through incoherent sentences talking about how someone named Danny had been taken, and he needed to find him before it's too late etc, etc. When Mr freeze said a certain sentence it clicked for signal who he was on about and instantly switched to a passive aggressive tone telling him how they took away the civilian he had been hurting for his own safety.
At first freeze blue screened, before trying to throw a punch which caught the bat by surprise. Then without realizing Victor was yelling at the day bat to 'return his son before they killed him'.
It took some time before signal realized what was happening and panickly contacted the bats. He quickly calmed down freeze so that he could explain more clearly. And once he did, the batfamilly that had been originally trying to find a way on how to un do the 'mindcontrol' while making sure the cell Danny was kept in stayed at a warm temperature, ran to the said cell to find one Danny passed out on the floor unconscious, temperature at what would be classes as normal but looking like he was at the peak fever of a cold.
They went into work mode to try and cool the boy down instantly, while freeze was led to the cave by signal blindfolded.
Safe to say as soon as freeze saw Danny he was on the brink of a panic attack, he shot his cryo gun at the ice tub Danny was now in, essentially eveloping him in ice, while the bats fought the urge to run to 'help' Danny.
It wasn't long before Danny woke up. After things were sorted out the situation was explained to the bats. There were missunderstandings about the 'son's situation but no one was brave enough to ask. Danny and freeze left later after the bats had uploaded a file on Danny so that they know how to actually help him in the future instead of the fucked up help they did this time.
Later in the week the batfamilly had sent some apology and thank ypu gifts to Danny, to both apologize for the incident, and thank Danny after they found out it was Danny's idea to do the weekly ice skating that freeze was running this year, and all the help and community activities the other rogues were doing all of a sudden after summer started.
