#Danny is an invisible entity and he helps Alfred cook

[mkarchin713]

They had all prepared for this battle.

This didn’t feel right.

They needed to banish the spirit before it took its vengeance.

This didn’t make sense. If The Spirit wanted them dead it could have killed them all when it interrupted the ceremony.

They had procured the necessary ingredients to banish a spirit.

But banish it where? Back to the Lazarus Pits?

All they needed to do was lure it to the banishing circle.

Would it even work? The Spirit was obviously not your average ghost. It was blessed by the pits.

They learned the spirit had become attached to The Heir.

Why would The Spirit go after The Heir and not kill him?

They would use The Heir as bait.

This didn’t feel right.

……

They didn’t know what happened.

The Spirit had entered their body.

One moment they were standing behind The Demon, waiting for the ceremony to start.

Why had they been trying to banish one obviously blessed by the pits themselves.

The next their blade was sticking out of The Demon’s back.

The Spirit had attacked the Demon using his followers hand.

How could they have done this?

Was The Spirit denouncing The Demon?

How could they have betrayed their master?

Was The Spirit now their master?

Why were one follower after another joining in?

Was The Spirit now everyone’s master?

The Spirit stood proud before them.

Like a conquering king

The Spirit ordered the Talons to release The Bat, The Young Detective, The Avenger and The Gray Son.

They were members of The Spirits Court

The Talons obeyed.

As they should.

The demon struggled to his feet.

Why did refuse to surrender?

The demon cursed The Spirit.

Who was the demon to me refuse The Spirit?

The Spirit reached his hand into the demon’s chest

The Spirit found the demon wanting.

The demon’s body fell.

The demons soul was in The Spirit’s hands.

The Spirit looked to The Daughter

Or should they call her The Mother?

The Spirit crushed the demon’s soul

The demon was gone

The Spirit now reigned supreme.

DC x DP: The Real Blood Son

It's a year after Damian came to live with them that he decides it is an excellent time to bombard Bruce with his news.

"I had a blood brother." He says to Tim after the other commented how important blood meant to Bruce-ie, not enough to make him get rid of his other sons. "He was the first from the artificial womb mother made with Father's DNA; however, he was disposed of once his heart condition became known. I highly doubt you will last even twice as long Drake-"

"What"

Bruce didn't know that he could make his voice that cold. That dead. What in the world does he mean disposed.

Damian goes still. The kind of still where he isn't sure if he just earned a punishment and is trying not to react to the fear. "My elder brother. Did mother not inform you?"

"Damian," Bruce struggles to level his tone at Dick's hard stare. "She hadn't even informed me of you. Please, can you explain more about your brother."

The youngest nods. "He had no name, but he was my biological brother. He was forced to grow to age of three before they realized he was defective. Grandfather had him sacrificed to the pit."

Jason growls "what do you mean?"

Damian looks confused- as confused as he can with his league training kicking in. "The Lazarus pit is made from the bodies of young virgins. No older then ten. They are sacrificed in exchange for the Infinite Realms' power to sink into the water. The children are not aware of what is happening to them until the very end. They do not suffer."

Bruce feels sick.

They talk a bit more, on how certain followers throughout history were more then happy to offer the great Ra's their own children to renew the pit. How Damain had watched three children when he was seven be sacrifice- it happened every five years- and how the children were given the best week of their lives.

They purposely given the most joy they could feel before the blades to make the Pit as pure as possible. He talked a lot about watching the youngest- five years- be laughing and splashing in the Lazarus water before his mother cut him down, his screams drowning in the green liquid.

"They say the Pit absorbs the last emotion of the sacrifice. Grandfather hopes the children realize the importance and honor they have to be ended for a glorious cause, but occasionally a few are disloyal. When Todd had taken a dip, the previous Renew, had a brilliant girl who figured out what was happening and attempted to escape. She failed, of course, and her arm was amputated in a mission, but she died angry. That's why Todd had such strong madness compared to-!"

"SHUT UP!" Jason roars suddenly, eyes glowing green, and for a brief moment, Bruce swears he hears an undertone of a young girl in his scream "SHUT UP! YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING! YOUR OWN BROTHER IS IN THERE"

Damain scowls "it's a honor. My brother's body was defective. But he at least had aidded in a glorious ritual."

Bruce can't help it; he leans over the BatCave Railing and hurls his dinner. Damian finally realizes that something is wrong.

They host a funeral for his three-year-old son, who died without a name, and place his gravestone next to his parents. They explain to Damian why the Renewal ritual is horrific but Bruce feels it take years before his son can see that.

Jason, went out into Crime Alley to let off some steam and had been going on a rampage against the underbelly of Gotham. He can't find it I'm himself to stop him.

Bruce asks Constantine to come over and do a small ritual, to hopefully unbound his child and let his son soul move on. Constantine warns that with the kid's name it may not work and that they could only free souls they share blood to but the English man tries anyway.

They send his son their prayers, and hopes. And they try to put him to rest.

Across the Infinite Releams to three dimensions to the right of the Wayne's soul resting ritual, The Fenton's adoptived son, Danny Fenton jolts in his English Class.

The strange stabbing scar above his heart- which is why he never takes off his shirt- burns then cools as if someone had tried to place the temperature-changing ointment. He rubs his best, confused.

What was that?

He'll have to check with FrostBite. Maybe his heart condition is acting up again. It happens every five years even though no doctors his parents have taken him to could figure out what it was.

Until Frostbite. The yeti claimed it had something to do with dark arts, but he's unsure what type.

Frostbite is still doing more testing.

"I wish you had lived, brother. I wish I knew you name"

The wind whispers, and Danny feels a flash of deep longing and grief before it's gone. Yeah, he needs to talk to Frostbite.

[kizzer55555]

If Danny enters through the Lazarus pits, then that means Ra’s (and thus Talia) are aware of him and Talia then informs Bruce. Or maybe Danny’s entrance causes some sort of ripple effect and Constantine becomes aware of it and tries to track this phenomenon only to surprisingly end up in the Wayne’s manor. Or Constantine was just visiting when he felt a presence (obviously informing Bruce as soon as he feels it), however, unlike his usual brand of otherworldly beings, this presence felt at home. When he saw that it was over the grave he informed Bruce that whatever it was, belonged to one of those graves which causes Bruce to have an internal panic. This ghost could either be one of his parents, or possibly his dead son (not Jason, he’s technically alive). And so Bruce and possibly the other batfamily members try to talk to the ghost.

Meanwhile, Danny had heard someone coming and instinctively turned invisible/intangible. When he eavesdropped on their conversation, he realized that this trenchcoat guy could see him (and also smelled of death, alcohol, and for some reason, peppermint soda.) when the other guys came over, Danny tensed until he started talking to the graves. Freaked out, Danny bolts. (Basically the idea is that somehow, they become aware that someone is at the graves, either they know it’s Danny or they know it’s one of the people buried there). Danny then tries to avoid the grave and the mansion but then he starts hearing voices.

Maybe after he left, Bruce did research and found out from Talia that there was a…complication…with the Lazarus pit (either Danny came out normally or he literally inturupted one of the five years sacrifices.) Anyways, Bruce learns that the ghost of his son came back, or at least, something that resembled Damian (Constantine could theorize that the ghost could be mimicking Damian’s form, could have ‘grown up’ in the infinite realms, or just gained more power and his form naturally evolved or something like that.) and so now the bats are pretty sure that the nameless brother is the one who visited the grave so they start visiting it more often. After that first meeting where Danny bolted, they wonder if they had scared the spirit off, Constantine had been unable to sense him since (maybe when Constantine leaves, he sets charms/wards that would alert him if the ghost came back). Anyways, the bats start talking to the grave.

Every time one of the bats speaks to the grave, Danny can hear it. He was able to get vague messages before because people barely spoke to the grave and he was a whole dimension away. So usually he only got messages when backed by powerful spells. Now though, he was in the same dimension and people were talking to his grave almost daily. Danny grew to know a lot about the Wayne’s that most people would kill for. Like the fact that they are vigilantes, inner secrets, gossip, Alfred’s secret cookie recipe that the other Waynes would kill for, and so his curiosity started to grow and eventually, Danny made his way back.

The first time he came back and the wards lit up, everyone in the batfamily got the alert and while they all wanted to rush back, they didn’t want to scare him off again. For all they knew, the nameless brother was still mentally 3 years old. However, when Danny came back, someone was already talking. Jason Todd was just explaining his most recent fixation on a book and complaining about Bruce when the wards went off. He had to hold back a smile but was also having a mini panic attack on what was he suppose to do before continuing like nothing happened. Now knowing he had an audience, he started exaggerating everything, trying to make the conversation more entertaining. Maybe Danny even does something like laugh. It’s going great until Damian suddenly bursts in, running up to the grave. Danny is so shocked by this lookalike that he bolts again. (Possibly a small argument between Damian and Jason.)

Now that Damian realized how wrong the league was, he wanted this chance to get to know his brother. Meanwhile this is a turning point for Danny who tries to visit the Waynes more and learn more about them. So he shows up at the grave more and more. He’s still wary of Damian but is very curious about him. Danny stars to do little things like blow a soft breeze into whoever’s talking to let them know he’s there or if he’s amused by something. They start leaving offerings and, hey, these are really good food/cookies and he’s basically homeless right now so he is absolutely taking them. (They realize the ghost prefers food offerings so they (especially Alfred) start leaving more and more. Danny never comes where Damian is but does accept his offerings). And Danny reacts to thing they do. Sometimes, of they’re lucky, they might hear a laugh.

Danny also starts visiting them on patrol and occasionally helping out. Tripping a bad guy here, dropping a bag on another there, jamming guns with ice, or drawing the bats’s attention to something important by tugging on their capes. It’s like they have their own guardian angel. And then one day, Damian’s life is in danger and Danny uses a bit more of his powers than usual to save him. Maybe like a building could be falling on Robin and Danny holds up an ecto shield to protect him. Damian stares in awe at the glowing green shield and then either they wait for the bats to dig him out or Danny could literally touch him (and it’s weird for Damian to feel a cold hand wrap around his arm but not see it) and Danny phases the boy through the rubble. Maybe there was also a fire/explosion that was going to happen. The shield might protect Damian from the blast and the collapsing building. Afterwards, Danny sticks by the boy to make sure he’s alright (which he is besides a few scratches much to his family’s relief. Maybe Jason also gets flashbacks to a building exploding. (Maybe Bruce too). And so Danny is there when Damian goes to the grave. And Damian says something that shocks him.

“Why did you save me?…I though you hated me?”

And Danny is completely stunned as Damian goes on to say how he understood why his brother would hate him. That he was killed by the league and how he didn’t do anything. How he even agreed with them for most of his life. How he didn’t expect Danny’s forgiveness when he was a failure as a brother, he would avoid him too. And Danny is panicking because yes, he’d been avoiding Damian but it was just because he was in a new environment and seeing is own face was disconcerting. He hadn’t even thought about what that probably seemed like to his brother (and he was still getting used to the idea that he had a brother). Danny needed to fix this. He had to fix this now. Damian was crying. And from everything he knew about the kid so far, that was something he never did. Eventually Danny just started looking at the ground that was still wet from rain earlier that day and started writing in the mud.

<Don’t cry. I don’t hate you.>

And the two brothers have an emotional conversation for the first time. (So, what do you think of the idea of Danny being selectively mute? Like after losing his home, friends, and family, he just stops talking. And now, even if he wants to talk his throat just closes up which is why he didn’t just appear in front of Damian. It probably wouldn’t help if he suddenly became visible but still didn’t talk to Damian. Danny and Cass could bond later with her teaching him sign language). but Anyways, back to the emotions. Danny channels his inner Jazz and does everything he can to reassure his brother that he doesn’t hate him, he’s sorry for avoiding him, and he would really like to get to know him better.

Damian is still crying (and Alfred the cat and maybe Titus had made an apearance at some point after hearing the boy’s cries and were now acting as therapy animals and snuggling against him) Damian is still questioning his worth. That it shouldn’t have been like this. Danny shouldn’t have died so young. He didn’t even have a name. And Danny, realizing the blank gravestone and the fact that he never introduced himself decides to correct this mistake.

<Hello Damian, my name is Danny.>

From that point on, Danny starts taking a more active role in the family. He also basically moves into the manor. Kinda ‘haunting’ the place. He helps people find lost items, helps Alfred in the kitchen (ironic that the only person allowed in the kitchen is an invisible flying entity. Lots of self opening cabinets and floating ingredients.) and even helps in prank wars. Occasionally, the Waynes start to get a glimpse of a boy looking exactly like Damian but with snow white hair flowing in an invisible breeze, and glowing Lazarus green eyes. The first time it happened, someone sees him sitting on the nameless grave (something that might have Danny painted on it now. Likely an art project the whole family participated in with various drawings accompanying it like flowers, stars, planets, and the bat logo. (Jason added the Harry Potter lighting bolt because he thinks he’s funny. Danny found it hilarious though and prevented anyone else from washing it off so it stayed.) but anyways, someone, likely Tim, sees a glimpse of the glowing teenager on his way past the grave (Tim is also the only one who brings Danny coffee as offerings so currently, he’s tied as favorite person along with Damian). And after noticing the other, Danny ‘disappears’. So either Tim decides that he’s too sleep deprived for this or in his current mindset, after seeing the glowing teenager, Tim takes out his phone and snaps a picture which is what alerted Danny. (The image is likely distorted or just blurry because Tim was not holding it steady. Or it was good but he would completely forget he has it).

Soon though, Danny started showing up in front of others. It was always just a glimpse but they would see him in the hall, or petting one of the animals, or sitting by his grave. They collectively decided to not say anything about it. (Also, maybe Duke could see Danny in his ghost form this entire time. He just never brought it up until the others mentioned they couldn’t see him?)

Meanwhile, the league of assassins are convinced that this spirit is bent on revenge. So they decide to strike first. (What about a team up between the league of assassins and the court of owls?) and track Danny down to either somewhere in the city or to Wayne manor to try and capture him. Everyone is under the assumption that Danny is a simple ghost who probably can’t fight back/affect the living world much. And that he is either easy to capture or needs protection. They are very wrong. :)
