[mutable-manifestation]

#principal doesn't call CPS but only because this is a public school in Gotham#the student body just assumes whoever Danny's bio mom is out of the bunch really gets around#dp x dc#accidental child acquisition

"Polycule got pregnant and didn't dna test that's all their baby ig" - the principle, probably

tbh it wouldn't be too surprising that it works out.

Like.

It's Gotham, like you said.

And it's a small army of parental figures that clearly care about him at least enough to care a lot about his education.

So they call CPS and he, what, gets tossed into the system probably with a foster that cares way less unless he somehow gets lucky? As much as they joke, Gotham is a big city and Bruce Wayne can't adopt every kid even if he does narrow the criteria via eye and hair colors.

Then Dani shows up. Just barely old enough looking to reasonably be put in high school and she has the knowledge (ala Danny memories + self-study, not that the school people know that).

And, okay, sure. A second kid out of nowhere.

But she looks just like Danny. Two kids for the polycule? They can accept that.

(Dani was the easiest to adjust the summoning circle for. She's startled when she first arrives, but when she gets the story from Danny? She can stick around for a little while.

Except the cult is...great. They aren't fruitloopy. They don't do evil stuff. They just... act kinda like the Far Frozen. Except human. And with more merch.

And Dani...kinda likes it. Slumming it in a warehouse is familiar - she couldn't always find an empty hotel room to crash in while traveling, after all. And while they care, they aren't suffocating about it. They don't demand she be present at certain hours or nag about where she's been. They just. Ask if she had fun, offer her leftovers if she didn't make the usual mealtime, lend a listening ear... They're just. Kind.

Dani still intends to explore, but.... She's a fast flier. She have both. She decides to live with them.)

Then, months later, the polycule rocks up to enroll a senior.

A redhead named Jazz.

While she shares similar facial features to the Danni (latin plural pronunciation), she looks different enough that...while she could take after a different parent...it's just... none of the polycule are redheads.

The school doesn't call CPS.

But.

Some of them are concerned about the possible kidnapping situation.

As it happens, the secretary ends up running into (getting rescued by) a bat not long after.

She decides, fuck it, and lets them know that, hey, possible kidnapping group, possibly just a polycule with a weird thing about having legal ID's. Maybe check it out, but she's done her civic duty and now it's time to go get a bucket of ice cream to help repress the memory of almost getting mugged.

Again, thank you so much Gotham you shining beacon of all things peace and safety

She moves on with her life.

Ofc the bats check into it.

And. That is. Definitely the cult that got therapized by their summonee.

Now, did they all start behaving better and improving all of their lives after that? Yeah absolutely. It was great and the batfam was happy for them.

But do people sometimes relapse? Also yes.

Now there could be totally innocent, benevolent reasons the cult (kind of? Is it just a support group with a theme at this point???) has these kids.

But it could also be kidnapping. They gotta check.

How protective of their Reasonable, Attentive, and Caring adults are the Danni and Jazz? And precisely how hard do they troll the bats once they realize what's going on?

You know the drill.

Cultists want to summon the Ghost King, the League pull up to stop them, failed summoning successfully and got Ghost Prince Danny.

With a twist.

The head cultist tells Danny what they want, but it's so pitiful that Danny just sits them down, each and every one of the cultists and explains that maybe it isn't the best idea to give your soul to an otherworldly entity just for that.

Then it somehow turns into therapy because Jesus Christ these people have been living some pretty shit lives, then Danny decides to pull some favors with Frostbite and the Yetis to get some of the cultists family members medical treatment for their Mother/Father/Siblings that they're too poor to pay for.

Other times he just kinda tries to get a few others to get more confidence after being drawn in by a few bad people against their will and try and give them ways to get out of said situation.

The entire time the Justice League was just, there, watching all of this go down and questioning a lot of things. Simultaneously Batman is thinking of starting up a program to not make this a repeat, wherein people think they have no other options than to give up their literal soul to an otherworldly entity in hopes to turn their life around.
