#(Except Danny would totally give this weird but strangely endearing human a scale if he would just ask)

[redhoneysugarorange]

I'd love to see Vlad and Danny both get summoned, just stare at each other, then start bickering and ignoring everyone around them.

Danny: Oh it's the fruit loop, get any of those feathers out of your head or are you still a bird brain?

Vlad: Horrible Nephew of mine, oh how wonderful it is to see you. No my feathers are just fine, they grew back well, unlike your awful gross scales. How does it feel? To burn?

Danny: how would you like to feel your flames flicker out old man.

Vlad: *sputtering* I am NOT old! Insolent child, I will drag you across the coals.

Danny: iNsOlEnT cHiLd blah blah blah blah blah you're so boring, perhaps a trip to the far frozen would do well to make you cooler.

Vlad: I will break you child.

Danny: oh noooo, scawyyyy, this is me, petrified rn. Im shaking in my boots.

Justice League, watching as these two powerful diety-like beings squabble amongst themselves: Should we.... Stop them?

*Danny and Vlad increase in volume, and the temperature starts fluctuating*

Justice League: Okay yes we need to stop them.

Batman, walking towards the two, channeling his inner Alfred and hoping it works: That is enough you two.

*Danny and Vlad both stop, and stare down at the brave human getting between them*

Vlad: Bringer of Packers Tickets, this is NONE of your business.

Danny: Yeah weirdo, scram this is our fight.

Batman sighs, and from seemingly out of nowhere pulls out a covered silver platter and a bulging bag.

Danny and Vlad:....

Batman: Danny if you stop fighting I will give you this *opens the top to reveal another one of Alfred's meals, this time a pasta dish with several pieces og garlic bread*

Danny: Holy shit is that the old man's cooking?

Vlad: Old ma- what old man? Daniel how do you know these people?

Danny: I broke his fountain.

Vlad: Ah, that explains nothing, I see your lessons with Pandora have yet to improve your language skills. And I'm not about to yield to a tiny and insignificant morta-

Batman: And for you, twelve different signed Packers Helmets.

Vlad:.....

Vlad: I see, we shall continue this fight later.

Suddenly, Vlad is surrounded by his flames and standing there is a man with large flaming black wings. Batman only blinks before handing over the bag to the now gleeful man, looking at the helmets like treasures.

Danny huffs at the showiness of his uncle, and is soon surrounded in light, simply transforming info his humanoid form.

---

Constantine:.... I didn't know they could do that... Huh.

Tim: Yeah he's hot right?

Constantine: Yes, the feathers are bloody hot, but I'm sure there's a work around.

Tim:.... I was talking about the dragon.

Constantine and Tim, staring at each other: ....

*Nod of understanding*

---

While the Justice League are huddled together making a game plan, Danny and Vlad get busy.

Danny blows a raspberry at Vlad and starts chowing down on his spaghetti dish, while Vlad hands his new helmets to the vulture servants one by one, growling threats to take extreme care. Vlad takes a second to look over and walks over to see what his Nephew would stop a fight over.

Vlad: A simple pasta dish, really?

Danny, with a mouth full: dwon't knoik it tuill yew *Danny swallows* try it. Honestly, the old man's food is the best I've ever had. Though tbh, I don't really have much to go off of.

Vlad: Well yes, I can see why, your father certainly is a disgrace in the kitchen

Danny: Not like mom is any better

Vlad: *Clutching the Packer's helmets close* Maddie can do no wrong.

Danny: *Rolling his eyes* yeah sure, anyway so you want some.

Vlad: I suppose.

*Danny makes another fork out of ice, much to the Phoenix's irritation, before letting the man scoop up some of the pasta and grumpily chew.

Vlad:.... Ah, I see, I can understand. May I have some of that garlic bread?

Danny: sure, but just one piece

Vlad: that's hardly fair, you have seven other pieces!

Danny: This was my bribe, you have your packers helmets, feel grateful I'm even giving you one.

*Vlad grumpily takes the bread, sitting down next to his nephew and grumbling curses under his breath*

Danny: Oh that reminds me! Hey, man of Bats? Batman?

Batman: Yes?

*Danny grabs and pulls off one of the scales from his shoulder* this is for the old man?

Batman: I'm sure agent A would appreciate it...

Danny: It is for that swear jar of his, it slipped my mind that I needed to add to it.

The Justice League: ???

Constantine: Did that dragon just give up a bloody scale? For a human? Simple as that? Not even a blood payment or anything?

------

Tim, off to the side, muttering: Okay, his mother's name is Maddie. Still not sure how this Phoenix guy and Danny are related though. His scales are some sort of magic power source? Possible, further testing needed. Has ice powers, but seems to be capable of much more. Has pretty white fur (and in his human form, hair) that perhaps also has power? Hmmm

Jason: Dude why are you so obsessed with this?

Tim: ummm to get to know the dragon better reconnaissance and failsafe planning?

Jason: Yeah sure buddy.

There was a dragon in their fountain.

A giant eastern dragon in their fountain.

Most of its body is in the fountain, but a good portion of it is just resting on the ground.

Were they supposed to just, leave it there or make it shoo.

Tim didn't know, neither did Dick.

It was beautiful, scales a glowing white and a mane that looked incredibly soft, even from where they were standing.

Again, there was a dragon in their fountain. A beautiful dragon, but a dragon nonetheless.

Alfred, the unconcerned, professional, most unphased man, just, walked over to it, give it sass for growling at him, and then asked if it would like to soak in the pool instead.

And the damn thing agreed to it too.

--

Danny fucking hated the aftermath of his fights with Vlad, sure, the phoenix never tried to actually kill him or anything, but the heat just does not do it for him.

At least the fucker himself is gonna be uncomfortable from the cold.

Danny just wanted to navigate to the Far Frozen to recover from the heat, alright. Of course it would be too much to ask, because next them he knew he ran into a portal and plopped down onto some rich person's lawn.

And then took over said rich person's fountain, it was big enough for a good amount of his body at least, so he just went why the fuck not.

Then some butler came over to him, gave him of all people fucking sass, and asked him if he wanted to soak in the pool instead.

So of course, he got to the moving to said pool.
