#Danny saves Red hood and the goonian.

[kizzer55555]

Ok, so this inspired me. Basically, Jazz and Danny are running away after Jack and Maddie died in a lab accident due to the GIW. The Guys in White are now hunting both Danny and Liminal Jazz so the two run away. However, the GIW manage to keep tracking them down. So Jazz and Danny need to find a new tactic. They manage to get their hands on some magical amulets that Danny tracked down using his powers and ghostly connections. These are similar to the dragon amulets that Dorothea and her brother used. Put them on, and you will turn into an animal of your choice.

Danny and Jazz used the amulets to shape-shift and give the GIW the slip. They need to cross a forest? A pair of deer is no bother. Had to get over a canyon? A simple sparrow and hawk could be seen flying by. Had to cross a river? That fish and turtle seem awfully determined to cross.

Then eventually they reach Gotham and turn into a common dog and cat. However, things get…complicated. During a. Rougue attack, they lose the amulets and they discover a small side effect. Apparently, unlike Dorathea and Aragon, if the amulet comes off, they do not automatically revert to their natural form.

well, at least they have their ghost/liminal powers (Jazz is stronger, faster, and tougher than a normal person and can sense/taste emotion.) Now they have to get their amulets back.

Then they stumble across a local vigilante stuck under some rubble caused by the same villain attack. Well, it’s not like they could just leave him right?

Jason awoke to two random street animals saving his life and doing things that normal animals…really shouldn’t be able to do. That dog just lifted an entire steel beam in it’s jaws like it was a common stick. And he’s pretty sure the cat just phase shifted to his side. Because of the helmet, the siblings don’t realize Jason woke up.

Once finished and sure that help is arriving, Danny and Jazz leave to find their amulets. And Jason meanwhile, takes note of the two meta animals in his part of the city.

They keep running into each other. Danny and Jazz are having a hard time getting food now that they can’t shift back into human. It’s also harder to find a place to stay. The city is too crowded to use their powers, that would be a dead giveaway that they weren’t normal and likely get the GIW’s attention. And they can’t talk in this form either. Sure, they can understand each other and other animals but no matter how hard they try, the dog and cat mouth just wasn’t made to speak human language and all that comes out are grrrs and soft mews. Jazz does her best to keep her little brother safe now that he’s in such a tiny and vulnerable form. She growls at anyone who comes close to them. Danny meanwhile, uses his abilities to secretly get most of their food.

Then they spot that vigilante guy from before and he starts leaving out food after seeing how skinny they are (he must not have noticed before with the concussion). Slowly but surely, he earns their trust. At least enough for him to get close without the dog growling at him. It sort of evolves from there. Jason had made it very obvious when he enters or exists certain buildings, letting them know without words that these were his places. He even makes direct eye contact (Jason knew these animals were more intelligent than normal, although he assumed it was due to the ‘meta gene’), and he leaves his place open for them to come in (he’s not sure how they managed to get in through the 4th story window but once he realized it was possible he just started leaving the window unlocked).

Jazz and Danny recognize Red hood’s apartment as a safe place with food and shelter and they stop by there when they need it as they search for the amulets. They do so more and more until it starts being more common to see Jazz sleeping on Jason’s couch or Danny curled up next to the vigilante as he sharpens his knives. They spend more time in the apartment than out. They also start following Jason around (never out in public though, only his goons know about Jason’s two little shadows. They think it’s adorable. Danny absolutely deliberately curls up on Red Hood’s shoulder while in view. It is a universal law that when a cat sleeps on you, you cannot move. And Danny abuses that power, especially in front of Red Hood’s henchmen. His bad boy rep is being shredded to pieces by tiny little claws without a shred of mercy).

Jazz and Danny become comfortable with red hood and he even gives them collars so that no one messes with them or they end up at the pound (again). Picking out names was a chore though. Danny and Jazz refused every suggestion until Jason got them right. Danny’s was pretty easy, he just kept going through names until he eventually got it. Jazz was a bit harder as he only got it when the dog kept changing his speaker music to Jazz music. She would just come over and swipe at his phone with her nose or go to a nearby radio and turn the dial with her teeth. So for a while, it was just Danny and Dog (affectionately known by the goons as the DDs) (although Jason never caller her Dog to Jazz’s face.)

Danny and Jazz wish they could talk to Jason and explain to him what they need. After all, as comfortable as this is, they need to be able to return to human form some time. Jason hasn’t actually claimed ownership of them. They come and go as they like. But he’s starting to learn why people get therapy animals. He hasn’t been this relaxed in months.

On an unrelated note, Damian is ecstatic when Jason tries to casually ask for pet care advice and he weasels out the information that Jason got two animals. Not only that, two meta animals. Jason absolutely must bring them over for play dates and walks. Titus recognizes Jazz as an alpha and respects her while Danny does his absolute best to get Alfred the cat to play with him.)

Danny would fail the wall test 😔 (click for clarity)

When they first lose the amulets I’m sure who the rogue will be yet but I feel like those amulets are going to go on a journey. The rogue who got them didn’t know their value and basically ended up tossing them away, (likely killer Croc or Grundy) and maybe they end up in the sewers. Where they will travel until someone finds them and puts them into a museum with lots of security. There, Selina will likely steal them, then resell them to someone. A fight breaks out and while one amulet is recovered, another is sent to the police who identify it and place it in police custody. The other amulet meanwhile ended up getting picked up by a crow because ✨shiny✨ and put in it’s nest. During another rouge attack, that amulet then falls and Poison Ivy finds it and gifts it to her girlfriend Harley. And then Harley used it as a decoration….somewhere. And has to consistently fight off the crow who wants it’s shiny back. It doesn’t even look like the amulet anymore. Meanwhile, the Amulet in police custody ends up in the center of a murder case at the police station and is the sole evidence left so it’s being passed between detectives, police, and even a few bats. And then they go through a few more things before Danny and Jazz finally find it. Some of which include falling the the bottom of the harbor, buried under a house, kidnapped by a raccoon, stuck in the engine of a car, left in a garbage can for days, used as a dog collar (that was a fun day for the bats, they still don’t know who that shapeshifter was), and used as a tribute for a ritual summoning. Danny and Jazz are running all over Gotham and always just miss them.

Meanwhile, Damian tries to talk Jason out of letting his pets roam Gotham as it’s dangerous. And Jason tries to explain to Damian that technically he doesn’t own them. And he’s fully aware of how capable they are in looking after themselves. Damian might try to take matters into his own hands and tail them during patrol but Danny and Jazz always give him the slip. Jason is going to have a slight existential crisis when they turn human again. He’s also still protective of them. They still count as therapy animals right? Humans are animals after all.
