He walked back to his original pod and began investigating. It seemed like an earlier version of Vlad's pods. That did not bode well since even Vlad's clones weren't the best, but maybe it wasnt so bad, afterall Vlad tried to clone a Half-Ghost and Danny at least thinks that his body now is 100% human.

When searching around, he found an additional compartment near the pod, with some kind of device inside. Better save it for later. Danny continued to walk around and investigate the lab he found himself in, the lights in the ceiling were dark red, seems like they were running on an emergency generator, so there was a blackout.

Time passed as Danny walked around and his stomach made itself known with some grumbling. Well seems he needed something to eat. He needs to further his search.

Chapter 1 - The book

Inspired by this post

It was the first gala since Bruce came back from his latest out of Town mission, it took longer than expected - 4 weeks, but finally he was back and Brucie Wayne had the excuse of being on vacation.

The talks with various socialites went fine, he heard about the new gossip from the various families, that family's daughter eloped, the other family's son got a gambling addiction, another family got a ward and so on.

What completely threw him, was when he came across a group that were openly and readily talking about demons and how they grew up and such.

"- was so interesting, I never thought that succubi and incubi also gained energy due to platonic and familial love. I always was in the mindset of that they were only lustful and nothing else." this was what really caught Bruce Wayne's attention. He himself knew that incubi could feed/live of familial love due to his son Dick and having raised him, since he was just a little impling (Dick told him young demons were called that). How did other people find out about it?

"Yeah, the little impling in our family told me, that he lived nearby and that there were even asexual incubi/succubi. It is quite interesting." This made Bruce's inner eyes bulge out, what!!! Other people used the term impling, and what did they mean the one in "their family" what has happened while he was away? He was even more confused by the fond tone they were using, when the Wayne family (Bruce) had taken in his little implings, he more often than not got negative comments and was told he was dirtying the family name due to just taking in demons and not having kids of his own. Over time the voices become less and less but still it wasnt seen as that positive.

The group finally saw Brucie Wayne hovering nearby and invited him to join them. The talks continued but Bruce just grew more and more confused. The lady that was talking about having an impling in her family looked at him and stopped talking, "Brucie, are you okay?", she asked concernedly.

"Yes, I'm just… lost?"

"What about- oooh right you wouldnt know about it, this became popular while you were on your vacation."

Bruce became a bit alarmed, what became popular while he was away, how does he get more info. Before he could even begin trying to somehow charm more information out of his conversation partner. She got her bag from a nearby stool and gave him a book.

"Here, it became quite the popular reading material. All new knowledge about demons and their world. Do read it. Maybe we can all talk about it at the next event?"

Bruce nodded and the woman nudged him a little bit. "Go on maybe you can start reading it today?"

He let himself be directed towards the reading rooms at this venue. As soon as he sat down his brain came back online and he looked down.

"Beyond Sin: A Modern Exploration of Demonology".

That was the title of this book. Well, better start reading.

Who is the monster?

[shiho7567]

While walking around trying to get used to his "new" legs, Danny came across a computer. In the reflection of the turned off screen, Danny saw his face for the first time. He looked like a teenager. Additionally, that was not his face!

As he continued to marvel at this new face of his the screen jumped to life in front of him.

Instinctually, Danny tried to use his ectoplasm to get inside, when something made him stop. Why cant he gather ectoplasm?

He took a few steps back from the electronics, then tried to use some of his powers. He could still fly or better said float a little right now. He tried turning intangible and invisible and that also worked, but he could not access his other powers. As panic began to rose within him, his inner Jazz helped him calm down. Right he was a clone apparently, time to find out whose.

Who is the monster?

Inspired by What makes a Monster by wasthisscripted on AO3

Tw: rape mentioned

Jason ran his gang and crime alley quite well as Red Hood. He has good people and now he has fallen in quite a routine. He could even write a list of it.

· Waking up at 11am

· Buying groceries and ingredients for the various soup kitchens as Jason Peters for the Red Hood Gang

· Delivering them to the biggest kitchen and letting them be distributed for the other locations

· 4pm doing to a safe house and getting into costume

· 5pm meeting with all his lieutenants and dividing the routes/plans, who does what and where for the next 24 hours

· 6pm patrolling with his bike and checking up with the girls starting to get ready

· 7pm patrolling on the rooftops

· 9pm getting into contact with barbie

· 5am getting back to safe house and going to sleep

Occasionally something had to be shifted because of a sudden change but nothing difficult.

Especially since he promoted his newest lieutenant, Dante Nightingale.

Dante arrived in Gotham 2 years ago, at the beginning he wanted to try out a normal job, but he had only few papers on him, a minimal education and many people were scared of his frame. He was a very muscled man and tall, even towering Jason by a head or two. He had a constant menacing look to his eyes. Making more people afraid, his red eyes were also very identifying, as such after becoming part of the gang, Red Hood helped him get a mask that covered his eyes but he could still see through.

It looked nothing like the typical domino's from the Batfam, Red Hood asked Ghost Maker for ideas for a mask, as such the other vigilante gave him a mask later, it even fit Dante perfectly.

Having Dante on his gang made thing go smother sometimes, for which Jason was very helpful. Dante may sometimes look like a killer with his red eyes and eyebags but he was a nice enough guy, a little rough around the edges but still.

His lieutenant was also quite diligent, almost never missing, and when he needed a day off, he always informed him weeks ahead, which was why Jason was so thrown by the message from his newest high ranking member which was written quite late for people liked them that worked through the night. Another factor that confused him was the short message, it seemed quite frazzled.

'Can't come next days. Emergency. Home.'

The reply to Jason's question if he needed help, was a no, he could handle it.

For the rest of the day, Dante's emergency message stayed in the back of Red Hood's mind, he still finished his day as normal, but when he was on patrol there was an additional anomaly. Nightwing was in the alley looking like he was searching for something.

This was especially different from the norm since Nightwing was not scheduled to be in Gotham, he was still supposed to be in Bludhaven.

Red Hood grappled to the other vigilante, "What’cha doin’ there?"

Nightwing turned around, he quickly hid his startled face, but Jason did notice it still. "Hey, Hood. Nothing, just normal vigilante stuff, you know?"

His posture must have shown the same disbelieve he was wearing on his face under the helmet, because Dick gave in quickly.

"Yesterday on patrol, you know it started as always -"

Jason cut him off, "Just get to the point."

To keep it short, last night Nightwing came across what was in the end a rape aftermath, the attacker was pretty heavily injured from his victim. At the beginning Dick fought it was a scuffle but when he watched longer he knew what was happening, he wanted to help, but when he jumped down, the victim scratched his attacker across his face, leaving deep gashes and ran away. Dick did manage to throw a tracker on the person so, that he could check up on them, but knew he couldn’t follow more, after he ran after him to the corner of the alley and then was gone.

Nightwing looked over the attacker, a big burly sqeezy man, who was screaming because of the 4 deep gashes across his face and the nick at his neck. The vigilante arrested him, but also brought him to the hospital since he needed to find out what happened (at that point Dick didn’t know it was rape only, that something happened). After the attacker was full on pain meds, he spilled the truth, Nightwing told the nurses, who called the cops, with the confession of the injured man.

When Nightwing looked at the tracker later, he found it on its way to Gotham, today it was in crime alley, abandoned. That's where Red Hood found him. Dick also gave a description of the victim to his brother. Small frame maybe 5'7'' dark hair and piercing blue eyes. When Nightwing started with the facial features, a dawning horror came across Jason's mind, that sounded very much like Dante.

After Nightwing left Red Hood started thinking, it couldn’t be Dante, but maybe…

In that moment, Jason remembered the one time, Dante invited him to his apartment, there were a few pictures, but there was only one with people on it. There were 4, Dante himself, a tall red-headed teal-eyed woman, a younger boy (?) with black hair and icy blue eyes and a young girl with the same colour scheme, just that her eyes were mor blue-green. All of them were smiling into the camera. Oh no, the person is probably one of Dante's two younger siblings.

Now the "Family Emergency" Message made way more sense.

But what should Jason as Red Hood even do, he knew where the victim from Nightwing's "case" was, but… He now also knew what happened.

As Jason hemmed and hahd, he decided to check up on the siblings. He would look through the window first, if they were sleeping, he'll visit again tomorrow during the day.

Red Hood grappled along the buildings and ran across roofs until he arrived at Dante's apartment building. His Lieutenants flat was among the ones at the top of the building.

Jason perched on the roof of the house across of the apartment to look inside, his chosen perch spot was slightly elevated so he could see better inside. What he saw was not what he expected at all.

Inside the mostly empty room, there was a small person huddling in the room a blanket around them, that was on the normal side, but the chain that came out from under it did not promise anything good.

Before he could think more, Red Hood grappled across the street and entered the building from the roof.

He stormed towards the Nightingale residence and knocked in the way that his lieutenant inside will know it's him.

Dante opened the door with a bit of an annoyed expression. "What are you doing here?"

"What are YOU doing here?", Red Hood repeated to him, with a finger pointing in the others face nuancing the word 'you'. Dante also could tell that with 'here' they meant two different things.

Before he could say more, Red Hood forced his way inside and marched into a very specific direction.

Behind him Jason could hear the noise Dante made, which let him know he was on the right path. Dante quickly followed him, but could not stop Red Hood from opening the door.

The person inside looked up with a sullen face. Jason got a bit closer not listening to Dante who told him to not do that.

When Jason entered a specific radius around the kid, the face changed to one of rage and the icy blue eyes shone brighter, turned green and the kid snapped towards him with his mouth full of sharp, sharp teeth.

Red Hood fell back from the surprise, while Dante ran forward, hugging the being and started to sing a song.

"You're okay

You're alright

I'll never, ever leave your side

I will stay and I will fight with you

Ha-ah, ah, ah-ah

Ha-ah, ah, ah

Ha-ah, ah, ah-ah, ah

Ha-ah, ah

You're okay

You're alright

I'll stay here through the darkest night

All the way, I will fight with you"

Dante sang it quite a few times before the being, he was hugging, calmed down again.

While that was happening Jason's brain was still rebooting.

Dante stopped singing, which signalled to Jason's hindbrain that everything was fine. Red Hood stood up again while Dante was still kneeling before the being.

"Ignoring whatever that was. Why are they in chains?" Jason said quite accusingly at his Lieutenant.

"I also don’t want them to wear it…", Dante trailed of looking towards the being.

The third person in the room looked up again, now with still bright but blue eyes, first at Dante, then Jason and then at the floor again. Before they answered they shuffled behind Dante to hide.

"I need them, … too dangerous.", they mumbled.

As Red Hood wanted to ask what is too dangerous, and surely Dante and others could help them, he was interrupted by a half shout from the being.

"I'M TOO DANGEROUS!!"

The beings eyes were glowing green again but they were also crying, with tears spilling from their eyes.

Dante turned to them again, hugging and patting their back, soothing them to sleep.

When the being finally was sleeping or at least passed out from crying, Dante put another blanket on them. Then he made his way out of the room, beckoning Red Hood to follow.

After Hood sat down on the couch, Dante stood up and got a picture frame. Jason recognized it, it was the group picture he just thought of earlier.

"I'm one of four siblings…", Dante began his storytelling.

He showed the picture to Jason and explained who each of the people in the frame were.

"You already know me, this is Jazz, that is Danny and that's Ellie." Dante introduced each person with a name. He lingered back at the red headed woman named Jazz.

"I never told you why I moved here. 2 years ago Jazz died. We never saw it coming. I needed a change of scenery, that’s why I moved here. Danny stayed home with Ellie at first. As soon as she could Ellie began travelling, while Danny was still stuck in the same place. Jazz's death hit Danny the hardest. They started joining fights more often to release some emotion. Jazz's death anniversary was just a few days ago. It seems like Danny since he was 21 now decided to drink his sorrows away. He definitely wasn’t expecting what happened afterwards. To be honest I only found him after i came home and he was inside that room chaining himself up."

This wasn’t what Jason expected at all.

"But why was there a chain at all there?", that was Jason's most pressing question.

"I have it there for such scenarios. Sometimes I myself feel too dangerous and chain myself up, but haven’t had that feeling since joining your Gang."

"Okay, I probably know why you came here.", Dante continued. "Did the Bludhaven bat tell you about what happened?"

Jason could only nod, since all that information about chaining oneself up, only at the ankle when one feels too dangerous, was a completely new concept for him.

"Is the guy alive?"

"Yes."

"Good that will help them feel lighter." Dante said with a grateful look in his face.

Which at first confused Red Hood a little, Dante was quite similar to how Jason was when he began as Red Hood, but when he continued to think he realised the grateful look was not for the attacker having survived but that his sibling would feel better, maybe even less dangerous.

Dante looked up again, read the confusion from Red Hood's body language and asked a little accusingly, "What did you think I was a monster who chained up people in my apartment?"

Because Jason took too long to answer, still too stunned, Dante continued, "Their action of chaining themselves up, begets a better question. Who is the monster to make someone fell they have a need to do that?"

The look in Dante's eyes told Jason that there was already someone who called the siblings monsters, maybe even so often that they internalized it.

Jason thought, ‘Who is truly the monster?'

DP X DC PROMPT - Pray to the right God

Jason Todd wants a better life, he's desperate, and the Batfamily doesn't know how to communicate.

Warning: Jason has low self-esteem, he doesn't feel well, the Batfamily doesn't know how to communicate, English is not my language, there are mentions of deaths, this is very long and I wrote it one day when I was in a bad mood, I guess that's it.

____________________

The ghost king Phantom, looks curiously and unseen at the slightly ill young Revenart, who has been praying for a week.

Jason Todd knows this is a bad idea, messing with mysterious gods, it's really dangerous but he's desperate, he's tired of continuing to fight with Bruce, he doesn't know how to have a normal relationship with his brothers, the Joker is still alive, the city is a mess, he's a mess and he just wants to get home, if an arcane god can't fix this then he might as well die in the next gang war.

________________________________

This all started recently, Red Hood ends up for some dumb reason in another dimension. Gotham here is much better, for starters the joker has been dead for years, some other rogues are also permanently in bed/prison.

The family is nicer, more loving (although less numerous, where are Damian, Cass and Duke?) and revolves around the golden son, his counterpart in this universe, Jason Wayne.

Jason Wayne, also known as Harpy, is temporarily away from nightlife activities because he is in college, he makes sure that the Wayne family's social programs really help crime alley and other poor neighborhoods, he supports his large family, he is apparently very attached to the church, and Gotham's elite can't complain about him because he is practically a saint and a hero.

The contrast between Jason Todd and Jason Wayne is incredibly stark, he, Red Hood, was murdered, he came back evil from the dead, their family relationship is precarious at best and his hands are covered in blood, the Batfamily is even a little worried that Red Hood might upset their Jason, but dismisses it.

In Wayne Manor there is even a chapel that has been rehabilitated since the arrival of little Jason, currently it is obviously one of the usual places for Jason from this dimension along with the library.

Jason Todd can't help the bitterness, jealousy, and questions he has as he sees the best life he'll ever have. The life that maybe could have been his at one point, he doesn't care about fame, elite approval, hell, not even that the joker is dead, if he could have this good family relationship with just one of his own brothers or at least a hint of the obvious love that this Bruce has for his Jason it would be enough.

Once alone in the chapel he can't help but ask. "how did it end up like this? What did you do to have this beautiful life?"

“pray to the right God” – the smile is too sweet but it turns crooked, it is the same smile he makes when he manages to kill the vilest scum in the slowest way, when he was under the effects of Pitt and the massacre made him happy.

It doesn't fit at all with the supposed angel that everyone adores.

The silver cross with the small ruby (that cross in her world was the only family heirloom that Catherine kept selling and was never able to recover, in fact she had forgotten about it) that rests on Jason Wayne's neck is transformed into another necklace.

It is really ostentatious, heavy, pearls and small diamonds intertwined to give prominence to a huge ruby in the center.

Jason Wayne explains that long before he was adopted, he saved and helped a very young girl, sharing her little food, her precarious hiding place and her threadbare blankets, there was no ulterior motive for this, he just couldn't help it, she was too hurt, too young and alone. After an exhausting day looking for food or stealing some money, he returned to the shelter to find said girl with her father.

Said father ended up giving her the necklace as a reward, he even left her a crumpled 2000 dollars that he had in his wallet, took his daughter and left.

"If you want to have a better life, pray to him, he doesn't have many living followers, he would really like you."

Jason Wayne explains everything about this treasure, a cursed jewel. It exists apparently in almost every universe, it really is cursed, every person who used it died in some way from a cut throat or some accident that hurt their neck. It brought misfortune to all who bought it, it attracts greed and death. But thanks to the power of the ring of the infinite king this curse is reversed.

"He who is willing to kill must be willing to die, he who gives hate will receive hate, if you covet what does not belong to you then you will lose everything you have."

Those were the king's mystical words before he broke reality into a green portal to take his daughter and leave. The necklace, the queen of slaughter, sank into her skin and then transformed into the cross that Catherine one day sold for more drugs, as if she knew she needed a disguise. That meant that anyone who wanted him dead died losing their mind somehow, that anyone who wished him ill or was full of envy for him would be very unfortunate to the point of fatality if they didn't stop their bad feelings towards him.

Jason Todd realizes that Damian, Thalia and Ra's have probably died in this universe, it doesn't feel good, Damian didn't know any better.

He also doesn't understand why Cass isn't here, it doesn't make sense. Maybe the only reasonable one is Duke, if the Joker died when Jason Wayne was 14, that means the Thomas's is safe and has a better life. In this world there is also no Oracle because Barbara was never attacked, she even apparently moved out of Gotham for a while with Dick and they are serious.

In a short time he has learned of the big changes, of how Harpy became really hateful towards the rogues so that bad luck would harm them even now, which doesn't come out so much as Harpy is bringing death to the court of owls just by existing and helping the city. All without getting your hands personally dirty and being loved by your family.

It's terrifying, it's a manipulation that no one notices, this guy despite everything loves his family and is killing all his villains to keep them safe and at home...and deep down inside of him he wants to be like Jason Wayne but he denies it, it can't be like that, it's wrong, right? Right?!

When he returns to his world, Bruce yells at him that he was totally reckless, always reckless and dangerous, Dick tries to calm the situation but his smile is just a grimace, Tim, Cass and Steph stand on the sidelines, tired of this same routine, Damian complains about his incompetence, Duke isn't even there, he's already gone to sleep and even Alfred seems a little more tired.

Spending a little time in a world where his family clearly loves him has left him broken, so he prays. He prays to the ghost king to help him, he confesses everything he has done, how much he regrets the things he did that hurt his chance to return home, although he doesn't regret the deaths he causes because he really wants to help people but for him there is no other way. (curiously he hasn't had nightmares this week, he doesn't dream particularly but he was able to sleep peacefully)

______________________

In the mansion's lonely chapel, Red Hood prays again and finally the king of the dead answers.

Danny looks at this particular Jason, it reminds him of some things from before, it gives him a certain itch that he can't scratch, maybe because he decided to turn his back on the world of the living, maybe because of that desperation of being accepted and loved by a family but never getting it, maybe because Jason died and never returned to fully be the person he was before, maybe it's his bad luck, his impulsive way of being, that he really cares, that he's just the same. clumsy at socializing, maybe...maybe because he's willing to eliminate the scum, maybe it's because the dead appreciate Red Hood's work much more.

He has a territory that he protects fiercely, he has people that he decided to take care of at all costs even if it causes him pain, there is some magic in him and many feelings of sadness.

This Jason Todd needs a big miracle. Something that eliminates his enemies but that his family can't blame him for. May it attract more good luck, may it calm people, may it also heal that contaminated green that we carry inside.

The infinite king, of all the dead, afterlife and gods, looks very young, I could say he looks a little malnourished but even though he looks like just a child, his brightest green eyes are those of someone older. He smiles tenderly.

I heard you.

_______________________________

They're worried, the situation in Gotham is...strange.

The joker is dead which is good, the city celebrated for days, there is no one responsible other than the joker himself who seemed more erratic, it was on television while he was trying to do another horrible hostage show, he was in the middle of his monologue when he slipped, somehow a chain event with several objects falling ended in a large box crushing his body leaving only his now loose head visible.

It was on live television, everyone saw what happened and perhaps for the first time this stupid clown made everyone laugh.

That was very funny.

Jason, who was complaining about Cass and Duke stopping him from going with the others, stood still staring at the Batcomputer screen, just a few seconds of disbelief until he started laughing too.

Cass and Duke were actually very worried, a little scared and disturbed by the laughter, by how Jason squirmed, doubled over with laughter despite the tears, the laughter turning into crying, a horrible, painful cry. They didn't know if they should give him a hug, if he would react badly, or how to properly comfort him, but Jason preferred to walk away to another part of the mansion.

Jason actually wanted to be alone to process what happened, he didn't want to see anyone so he left. (he went to lock himself in the chapel, although only Alfred knew about it, thanking the ghost king very much, grateful that the nightmare was over, wanting to be more loyal to the king)

After the parties Jason was much brighter, calmer, the great weight on him was no longer, when one of them was about to comment on something Jason just stared at them, his green eyes seemed lighter, shining subtly, dangerous, "dare, come on, dare" seemed to challenge him.

"Alfie, they're being mean to me!"

The cry for help took them by surprise, it was spontaneous in that disturbing moment of staring and then Jason leaned carefully behind the butler who wasted no time and dismissed them.

The next to die was Black Mask, he was surprised in the middle of dinner by Red Robin and Spoiler, he ran to get away a little while his men came in to defend him, he escaped without finishing chewing well. By the time Red Robin and Spoiler were done with the thugs, looking for the crime lord in the hallway, he had collapsed, no longer had a pulse, he choked, his throat was clogged by the piece of food and with no one in sight, he actually died there.

Jason laughed again in disbelief as Tim informed him over the comms. "Well, I guess this is my time to expand my territory, I'll mark this day on the calendar to celebrate next year, goodbye~

If another rogue died stupidly, something was really going on here. Unfortunately, the next rogue who screwed it up didn't cause anyone's death in particular, but it was still a scandal.

The scarecrow was working on his new batch of fear toxin, he wanted to add something different to it that would make it stronger so he gathered ingredients and allies, he was in a meeting with Lex Luthor and Bane when the new formula destabilized and exploded with them inside, filling the entire room. The result was that everyone involved was left catatonic, their minds shattered beyond repair, trapped in their minds, too far away to ever be saved.

They weren't dead, but maybe that would have been kinder than spending their days like that. There was a scandal because Lex was obviously there cooperating and now in his state he couldn't defend himself from public opinion. (Clark felt relieved, he didn't share this feeling of relief with anyone but he could breathe a little easier from now on)

Jason was busy, with the black mask death he had a lot of new territory to possess, people to chase, drugs to destroy, weapons to steal and money to loot.

He felt less angry, he had good dreams when he slept, his body was healthier, his people were busy but happy, in general the inhabitants of Gotham did not know what to do with such good luck, some believed that something terrible would happen soon, others that there would finally be hope.

Jason just hummed, determined to return to the mansion to spend time with Alfred, with all his good humor he wanted to be close to the butler, intimidate Bruce with his gaze, just relax, just read in the library.

This time it's not his fault, he's not doing anything wrong, he's silent, calm, leaving room for his brothers or Bruce to come closer, even if they don't. (Why don't they? He spends more time at the mansion, he's available for movie nights and board games, it's very quiet but they still don't come)

Maybe the ghost king is right, maybe he needs a better family... but he really loves this family.

He sighs, lightly biting the wooden cross, Catherine's old wooden rosary rests on his neck, he doesn't take it off at all, Jason Wayne gave it to him so that his family wouldn't comment on it. How could they do it? If Jason has almost nothing left of Catherine, more memories, just photos.

he will go home, bake cookies with Alfred, and pray silently for her family.

_________________________

The ghost king really likes his new believer, he doesn't have many of those, not that he needs them, but he likes this one a lot. Red Hood only wants the best for his people and his family, although the latter is a bit stubborn, nothing he can't fix, his particular gift is well used by his new owner.

The infinite king does not need gifts, everything in the kingdoms belongs to him, everyone dies in the end and is his. So for the valuable gift that is given to you, His Majesty's only wish is that you find happiness.

he looks tender, him touch is cold and delicate, on her face the freckles shine like small stars and constellations on her skin of a slightly blue tone.

"You deserve a better life, to feel safe, to be healthy and to have the strength to protect your people. You've done a lot for mine, you even died a hero, so here you go."

"He who is willing to kill must be willing to die, if you wish me hatred you will receive my fury, until the pile of corpses rises beyond the sky, singing with joy, take my pain and put it to rest in your coffin cradle, Hortensia"

________________

Hortensia written like that on purpose but the flower is Hydrangea. Hortensia = Hortense = Hydrangea.

So I like to think that Jason Wayne is a little more deranged, even though he didn't die, the necklace still releases a bit of his influence.

The Damian of that dimension is alive but has a great inferiority complex as well as a longing to be loved by Jason, his half-brother who is the perfect heir, a saint, an angel unlike him who is the son of the demon's head, Ra's dies, Thalia discovers that Jason is "blessed" and that if he tries anything the magic will kill her and her son so she has to forget about Bruce.

Cass ended up in Metropolis with Clark because of Danny's influence, because even though Jason Wayne is a great actor, Cass would notice and they're both actually doing well in their respective cities.

The name of the vigilante Jason Wayne is Harpy, in honor of the harpy eagle, it is a giant and cool bird.

As he has better luck, he discovered some of the roots of Bruce and Dick's problems, including the issue of the name Robin, so in that world there is only one Robin, Dick is adopted much faster and adores his little wing, Tim joins the family early and calls himself Cardinal.

Steph remains as Spoiler but is more focused on school. Duke doesn't join because his family is doing well, his parents get a better job and move to a better part of town.

Damian is brought to Gotham and doesn't become a vigilante until much later.

Bruce is a better father, much gentler and more loving with his children thanks to the good luck Jason has around him, fewer disasters happen and he doesn't get lost in time.

Regarding the cursed jewels, I forgot the name I had chosen for Jason Wayne's but it was the name of some poisonous flower, "queen of slaughter" is the nickname. Jason Todd's necklace is called Hortensia [Hortense] , in theory it is less obvious but more "conscious".

I thought Danny would just name them after flowers to remember Sam, though not because they had any correlation between how dangerous they were and the flower they were named after.

I also thought a lot about Danny, Ghost King! lonely and boring, he is the ghost king, he is/is not “technically” a god but you can pray to him and he will listen to you, although he doesn't feel so uncomfortable anymore because he is someone very important, he has no interest in having followers or a cult because he is problematic so he only lets a few people pray to him as such.

He pays more attention to Jason Todd because he reminds him a little of himself. Although sometimes having the attention of a god isn't really good.

Yes, I thought too much about this.

[shiho7567]

I just saw a panel from Nightwing 1196 #142, there is a star wars reference.

As such new idea for DCxDP crossover when they are not in the same dimension

Danny lands in DC, maybe the whole Fenton family or team phantom or alone idk, but the DP universe does NOT have star wars

The first think he would do in the new dimension is, research the stars, finds out about all the star wars movies and such

He'll watch it and try to see how accurate or possible that whole thing would be, maybe he'll take some fighting moves

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.

What if it was before Danny's accident, maybe while he still had good grades (when we take the good student Danny headcanon), every teacher in Casper High wonder why he is sent away

And to make it more dark/have jazz turn to villainy, let's make Danny having to save a Wayne, the court of owls(coo) see that/he saved them from the coo in the shadows and they take him instead, they turn him into a talon, but Danny's unique biology (that's what also helped turn him into a halfa) makes him stronger gives him more powers and he still has a brain (can think up his own plans), but he stays with the coo cause he also wants away from Alfred and the waynes

Let's say Alfred is even more of a Spartan trainer than Bruce, making Danny hateful of him

-----

Jazz always wanted her brother back, and after getting a bit older started following the news of the Wayne's and becomes angry/dark after noticing that Danny doesn't appear in pictures and texts anymore. There was even an interview of Alfred where journalists ask "what happened to the apprentice butler, where is he?" , Alfred says smth like, yeah he works somewhere else now in another city, so they won't see him anymore, but Jazz had already squeezed out of her mom about the soulbond and that Danny wouldn't be allowed to work for someone else and somewhere else

Then she travels to Gotham (incognito) to find out what happened, she finds out Danny is dead/a talon somehow, maybe she confronts Alfred to ask and he says he is dead (since he didn't want to explain the coo to her), he looked to the ground in apology when he said that and as such missed Jazz look of rage (glowing eyes, the Fenton's still work with ecto afterall, jazz does become liminal), jazz tries to find out secrets, she was trained by her mother and Maddie also told her some secret passages (cave system under the manor), jazz explores finds out about batman = Brucie Wayne and decides, I'll make your life a living hell as a villain

Maddie opening front door: Oh, it's you.

Alfred: Hello again, dearie.

Maddie: Ugh, drop the endearment. We are far too old for that.

Alfred: Very well. You seem well. Blossomed from the young maid to a proper lady.

Maddie: And yet, you're still walking around as a butler, looking like not a single day gone by since I last saw you. What, did the Waynes offer you immortality as a bonus for the immoral tasks you love to carry out for them?

Alfred: The Waynes don't do that sort of stuff anymore. Not since Master Bruce took over. He isn't even aware of the old family business.

Maddie: Oh I bet, little Bruce went all squeaky clean after dear old mom and dad took thier forever nap. Right. He's a good little boy.

Alfred: Madeline. I understand that your dismissal from Wayne Manor had been abrupt and that you fell on hard times because of it, but Master Bruce had just witnessed his parents murdered in front of him. He wasnt in the state of mind to control affairs. He wasnt aware of the real Wayne business then or now to begin with. Besides didn't you used to say you wanted out of the business?

Maddie: I wanted out through my own efforts being rewarded with retirement like every other maid before me. Not thrown out at fourteen, scrambling to survive with a skill set only criminals would be interested in.

Alfred: Yes, thats why you took those sharp shooting lessons I painstakingly gave you and use them to...what was it again? Ghost hunt? Or as was it unicorn sighting? Maybe a fun family friendly fairy catching?

Maddie: Fuck you. What do you want Commander Pennyworth? You wouldn't show up to a agent's house, not after all these years and certainly not at one who never got to finish her training before new management laid everyone off.

Alfred: Alright I'll get right to the point. I wish to reinstalled the Wayne Enterprise Secrets and I believe you have children.

Maddie: You-! You can't come to my house and demand my children, you bastard!

Alfred: I fear, Madeline, that I can. Bloodlines forever in service of the Waynes. Was that not the soul oath your great great great great grandmother took? Master Bruce owns you and your children, and I as his second, do as well.

Maddie: F-fine! I'll send you one! Only one! Danny.....Danny will be at Wayne Manor at the end of the month. We get to keep Jazz.

Alfred: Very well. Oh and let Daniel know Master Bruce and anyone in the Manor are not to be aware of his purpose. He's to be a proper Secert, and will be playing the role of my apprentice butler.

Maddie with pure loathing: It will be done. Danny will play his part.

Alfred: Thank you....I'm sorry about this Madeline. I truly am.

Maddie: No you're not.

Alfred smiling sadly: I am. I wouldn't activate the oaths, not after all this time. But we lost Master Jason recently and....I can not allow to lose anymore Waynes. Especially Master Bruce. You know how important his blood is to Gotham.

Maddie: I do, but that doesn't mean you're forgive. I pray for the day you're dragged to hell.

Alfred: Many do. Good day, dearie, may Gotham's darkness be contained.

Maddie: May the Waynes bare the burden and pain. Now fuck off.

night shift

[shiho7567]

When he woke up Danny was confused. He didn't have the habit of sleeping while standing. As he tried to take a step forward his feet buckled underneath him, as if he had never walked before. He fell to his knees.

Danny grabbed the nearest object to get up again. The tube that he used as help, was the size of an adult sized human, it was glowing lightly, with clothes floating inside. That was when he noticed he was naked. Still his mind was quite groggy, so he slowly stood up and tried to get the clothes inside the tube. He looked around a bit and found a fingerpad-scanner. He put his finger on it and it opened.

After dressing himself in the blue jeans and black t-shirt with a red symbol on it, Danny was a little bit confused, the clothes were a bit big on him, no matter. As his mind slowly became clear he looked around the room. He didnt recognize it, but all the tubes with some kind of fluid including the tube he came out of (it had the same fluid), reminded him of Vlad's cloning lab.

The question formed in his head before he could think further. Am I a clone? But whose?

[shiho7567]

I have once again come across the fact that Santa Claus is real in DC, as such, if in a DCxDP crossover, Danny hears about how young justice (1998) killed Santa, would he congratulate them, and after learning that Constantine snorted Santa's ashes, ask to also get one,

or would he be more like "good riddance" after hearing about Santas death and be appalled by the Hellblazer snorting Santas ashes

[shiho7567]

What could be possible in-universe conspiracy theories be in DC?

In the batman comics we have Bernard Dowd local conspiracy theorist, what could theories he believes in or reads about be

Like:

"batman is Bruce Wayne's sugar baby"

"batman is a CIA project"

"robin is a shapeshifter"

And so on

[shiho7567]

A few months later Batman asks Red Hood to go on an undercover mission that takes at least one month.

B: "We'll leave immedieatly."

RH: " Wait I gotta tell my spouse I won't be home for the next month."

Silence.

Batkids: "YOU'RE MARRIED. WHY DIDNT YOU TELL US?"

RH: " I did."

RR: "No, when.

RH: " In April"

N: " That wasn't an April fools joke?!"

Announcements on April fool's day don't count Jason!

Dead on Main

Jason, on a beautiful summer's day, sends a text to the family. No words were said though. All it was, was a series of photos of Jason with a black haired man.

One showed the mystery man down on one knee, ring box in hand, as Jason smiles brightly at him. Another shows the two in suits while showing off a pair of matching rings to the camera. Finally, the last one has Jason dipping the other man. Their faces in an almost kiss.

And the only thing he gets in repones from everyone is a remark about how Jason should try harder next year to not do such an obvious April fool's prank.

Jason, of course, doesn't bother to correct them as this is exactly the reaction he wanted. Now no one can get mad at him for not telling anyone he was married.

[shiho7567]

DCxDP idea #2

What if after re-emerging from his grave Jason became a dullahan?

At the beginning the didn't notice and Jason started training, that's when Talia came across the fact that Jason could still work without a head/could take it off

Now one time Jason is on a mission for the league/Talia and he is successful and came back but without his head (he lost it)

Due to that they chose the red hood persona for Jason to have in Gotham (he could somehow speak even without a head and also see) (maybe with ghost aura, idk)

Since he lost his head on a mission and due to smth he can't see through it or talk

Now Jason is on working terms with the bats but still hasn't told them that he is headless, maybe he told them that he did not like his face and he wouldn't show it?

Eitherway someone either Jason, the bats, an outlaw, or even Talia comes across danny

Danny who after a giw run in has become a full ghost(?) (still very powerful/could maybe disguise as a human), Danny came across Jason's lost head a few years ago (fresh after escaping) and has latches onto it (all Wilson like) and it has become his emotional support head, maybe he even cam across jazz again and she let him keep it

Now the bats/discoverer tries to take the head that looks like Jason away from Danny, while Danny is like "no that is my emotional support disembodied head, you can NOT have it"

Shenanigans ensue

Maybe when Jason notices that the rest of the bats are all weird around him (since they found someone, possessing a head that looks like Jason's)

When Jason finds out his head has become an emotional support item, he came to a compromise with Danny, he gets his head back, but Danny can stay with him, so there will be times that Danny just pops up and Jason gets a snake ghost shawl

[shiho7567]

Everything about this panel is fantastic.

Damian is such a shit head, I love him. The “acceptable work in preventing me from having my face blown up”. The hug and the fact that Damian clearly initiated it. The warmth from Dick. Aaaaaaahhhhh

[shiho7567]

Additional details:

No one from the DP Earth turned into a ghost, their death was too sudden (they didn't even notice they died), making Danny even more alone/never having closure (until he is told by the Dannies or Vlad) about his sister and friends

Danny does feel relaxed and safe in graveyards and maybe old battlefields, but cities like Gotham he does not vibe with, yes all of them have much death, but the circumstance on how the people died is different

Graveyards/cemeteries:

People are laid to rest here

They are mourned and remembered

Battlefields

They were all soldiers and knew they could die there/were ready to die

They were proud to die for their cause

Gotham:

Many people are murdered in cold blood

The murderers often find glee in it (joker...)

The souls of the unavenged hang around

DCxDP idea

I have read a few touch-starved Danny prompts/ficlets in the past few days and this idea manifested itself into my brain

---------------

Danny has been captured by the GIW, team Phantom try to rescue him but they are teenagers so they can't really do much, the drs Fenton don't believe them when they say Danny is Phantom and the GIW captured him.

Months pass by (maybe years) as Danny is experimented on and due to that his dies more and his two halves mix, making it so that Danny can't transform anymore but has access to all his abilities, and his physical appearance changes too

Now the GIW still want to destroy the infinite realms/ due to their test and experiments on phantom they discovered a new power source and want to destroy the realms with that all "fight fire with fire" types, now they made some mistakes/miscalculations because after firing up their device, they created a large black whole and sucked in the whole planet killing everyone that wasn't a ghost or halfa / being of the infinite realms

Clockwork can't/won't change anything, since earth may be destroyed but timeline is still fine(?), but he sends Vlad and the Dannies (your choice if Dan is also part of it) to a different universe/dimension (the DCU)

Vlad and Ellie know they each survived and Vlad knows what really happened (he is kinda redeemed, doesn't try to kill Jack anymore, before implosion), he tells Ellie but they both don't know what happened to Danny, Ellie can only feel he is not ended

Now don't know where they each land on Earth from DCU, but Danny gets come across Jason (either with the Outlaws or solo, but I would prefer it with the Outlaws (Kori and Roy)), Maybe Ellie lands in Central City (Speedsters kinda adopt her), Vlad could land in Hub City and startup his company (billion dollar lifestyle)

Anyways, the idea is touch starved Danny finds a new fraid in the outlaws (but does not become a hero, he just helps them if he feels like they need it, maybe at the beginning he forces himself to be a hero (help them even more) so that they will not leave him

Danny was "caged" for months with no touch or outside warmth, he didn't know his fraid tried to help him, after hearing "no one will come and help you, they all hate/abhorr you" by some of the scientists (that derived joy from his despair, they were also the once that did believe ghosts to have sentience and that they are sapient) for months he believed it, especially with having no evidence that disproved it he internalised it
