KENDRICK! DROP ANOTHER MENACE AU AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!

In no particular order, here is more Danny "The Menace" Fenton-Wayne Au due to popular demand.

Every single Wayne kid or Wayne Adjacent kid had to suffer through someone close to them having a thing for the eldest Wayne. All Robins at one point had to restrain themselves from blurting out their identities during downtime on missions because of the things their teammates had said about Danny in or out of costume. It was more bearable if the person had a crush on Phantom instead of Fenton-Wayne, but not by much. Danny is unaware of their struggles and actually didn't date much due to people not approaching him. They are intimidated by him.

Danny asked that Phantom not be overly associated with Batman, and his real ID is a well-kept secret. Even after the Bats revealed who they were, most of the heroes outside the seven main members of the Justice League don't know Danny's second ID. The hero community just actively thinks Bruce based Batman on Danny Fenton-Wayne because of his reputation, but he remains a civilian in their eyes.

Damian has tried to trap Danny in an arranged marriage multiple times. His reasoning at first was that Danny was a better fighter than him, so the only way to take over as Heir was if he controlled his marriage and put one of his people as his spouse. Then, it turned into him wanting to find Danny the perfect match. Duke helps him stream through potential sutors; it's how they bond.

Danny Fenton-Wayne has the uncanny ability to guess someone's worst fear. He doesn't pick out common fears like heights or the dark. He will, dead-stop stare at someone and whisper things like "Are you afraid that your mother secretly loves your sister more?". The public demanded Bruce test him for a meta gene, and when that came back negative, as well as him not being an alien, the public grew more afraid of him.

John Constantine once met Danny Fenton-Wayne at a tarot card market. He was so unnerved by the eldest Wayne child that he added Danny to the "Avoid at all costs" lists that he sends out monthly to Justice League members as part of a safety report against the dark arts. He was aware that Danny was Batman's "civilian" son when he added him to the list.

Phantom has been asked by multiple groups of different sides of the law- including Klarion the Witch Boy- to join them. He is known to work with the Justice League but operates as more of a consultant. People assume it's due to his nature, as he is hailed as an ancient, old being whose fancies change on a whim, as all ancient beings tend to do. Wonder Woman confused him for a god when she first met him.

Alfred once got a cease and desist letter from the local mall for attempting to buy a storefront as a gift for Danny. He wanted the boy to sell his dolls or have a craft store, but the mall freaked out when they found that Danny Fenton-Wayne was going to be the owner.

A rumor started around Gotham that Phantom lives, or at least is anchored in Arkham. He is often seen visting patients, and works to make their stays there an active recovery program instead of what traditionally happens in old asylums.. He also makes it really hard for people to break out of Arkham and often foils attempts.

Phantom once took on the mind-controlled Justice League seven alone. He won, and he still had time to stick around to help clean up after the fight. He's regarded as the strongest on Earth. However, this is a double-edged sword since challengers come from all corners of the universe to fight him, much like what happened to Superman.

Unknown to Bruce, Danny has slowly, over the years, built secret passageways inside the Wayne Manor walls and undergrown caves. He uses them to scare away as many suitors as possible from getting too close to Bruce. He also uses them to sneak around as Fenton-Wayne, commonly crawling out from under beds and out of closets, designed to not be noticed by metas, so everyone is freaking out that Fenton-Wayne is literally the monster under the bed or in the closet as a regular human. He's just like that.

Chara, can you talk about your human family relationship? How was it and why did you hate it? or I think you hate it since that is what most Charas in almost all the Au's do

[asaxon-studios]

More Galacta since you guys liked it last time

[caninescreations]

Just had a really funny idea. So theres always people who claim the old machines or old formulas are better right. Imagine the rich old vampires doing the same thing with their bloodstitute machines.

"Oh yes, you could buy the new 2011 model, but my 1981 model is just sooo much better." Pats the top of a machine held together with dreams and duct tape

You think rich old wine snobs are insufferable? Try Bloodstitute(tm) aficionados. They will wax on for ages and ages about how much of a difference there is between the modern formula and the original one (there isn't), whether adding anything to them "ruins" the "flavor" (there's no flavor), and even how long to "age" it after production for the best experience. It's inane, especially when you throw in the existing fight between "fresh blood" and "bagged blood" factions before Ford's artificial alternative was invented.

There's also a developing feud between old vampires on whether or not to even USE Bloodstitute(tm), as while it will meet the psychic energy nutritional requirements to sustain a vampire, they won't get any stronger than they are by default the way they would with real blood. And old vampires, they like their power.

Ah, shit, Bloodstitute(tm) probably becomes a way for older vampires to enact another vector of pressure on younger sired to maintain power structures by gatekeeping the good stuff. Or by blocking access to the safe alternative if their coven won't listen to them. Dang. There's something there, lol.

[ask-the-pioneer]

"I sure do! Watch this..."

"I can make explosive spears and throwables, just like my mom did. I can also propel myself in the air by whipping my tail very fast, which sets off the same flammable compound in my tail surface for an explosive boost. Very handy for movement, but also very loud… not great if you're trying to be stealthy. And yeah, my sibling could do that too, but he was always more interested in doing other things. An energetic but very scatterbrained kid that he was."

[She takes aim and throws the spear somewhere far away. It ignites and explodes with a loud dull bang that shakes the ground slightly]

"I can't do that too often, though. Maybe a handful of times in quick succession before my muscles tense up and burn as if scorched by flames. One time it got so bad that I lost consciousness and couldn't move for a couple of minutes after waking up. That was scary, and hurt like hell... since then I've been more careful. That said, I wonder if there are more slugcats with similar abilities to mine out there? I have not met that many scugs in my life to begin with, if I'm honest..."

"Of course I remember my family, how could I not! My sibling's name is… hmmm, right, let me explain this first. Slugcats have very good sense of smell. Usually, we know one another by our unique scents. They are incredibly complex, but can be written down as series of letters, if you map those symbols to the corresponding scent proteins and other chemical compounds. For example, my scent name would be:"

"Addmitely, this notation method is very over-engineered – a slugcat just knows you are you if they smell you. From what I learned, scugs don't really use a coherent writing system.. of any kind. I think the colonies may use pictograms? I uh, I've never been a part of a colony, so I'm missing a lot of info here. Still, what I wrote on the wall – I have used an Ancient script, which I roughly mapped to key compounds that make a scent. As you can see, it's incredibly long, it can also change over time, parts of it can be masked with non-organic aromas to hide your identity, so on and so forth. To simplify even further, these long strings of letters can be shortened to just the last three or two characters, and this is what scugs may choose to use to refer to one another. Here, my scent name is MGV."

"Then, there are names that resemble the form that the Ancients would use. It's considered more refined, and more common in big colonies where people adopt their preferable roles. Those names are viewed as a kind of «gift», because you receive it from your community. It's a symbol of how they see you, what you mean to them. Of course, my closest family was never a part of a colony… but my mom would still give me and my sibling those special names. I was named «Blue», which is the color of the sky above when it's not raining, and the color of clear water. My brother's name is «Bryn» after a very fragrant medicinal plant that relaxes your muscles when consumed. I always found it funny, as my brother was often the one getting in trouble and giving our mom heartaches."

[She pauses for a moment, thinking intensively]

"Hmm, I never thought of asking my mother about her name. I wonder if she had one? To me and it was always just «mom»…"

"My other parent? I never knew him. Must have left just before or right after my mom had me, because there is literally nothing I remember of him… or them… whoever they were."

[She takes some pearls out from her bag, and inspects them one by one just to keep her hands busy]

"Mom would never talk about him, as if he never existed. And I never questioned her, I was too young to understand and simply accepted everything at face value. It was just the way things were. Would I want to meet my other parent? Maybe, but I doubt it'd make a difference. What would I even say to them? «Thanks for abandoning mom and leaving her to fend for herself»? "

"I don't know. Maybe I'm too harsh. Maybe he was a hero who sacrificed themself to save my mother. That could explain why he was never seen or heard of again. But… I have no way of knowing for sure. It's the life I won't be getting back anyway."
