#Danny showed up right as Superman found out about Kon

[tales-of-the-ghost-zone]

DP x DC x DW crossover idea

Cadmus, using DNA samples of Superman and the Doctor that they’ve collected over the years, creates a Kryptonian/TimeLord clone hybrid. The clone, DNY-13, looks a lot like Superman while also having two hearts/binary vascular system. Sometime when the clone is about 4 or 5 he escapes from the lab. A portal to the infinite realms had opened up and the clone managed to wander into it without anyone noticing.

Clockwork, who’d opened the portal, was waiting on the other side for the clone. Clockwork then drops the clone off right outside the Fenton’s front door, rings the bell, and disappears. The Fenton’s find this tiny little toddler just standing on their front step and instantly fall in love with him. They bring him inside and look him over. He appears to be in perfect health, though the double heart beat is a bit odd. And he has a medical ID bracelet that declares him to be DNY-13, property of Cadmus, and the year of birth being almost thirty years in the future.

The Fenton’s decide to ignore the bracelet, cutting it off and hiding it away in one of their filing cabinets. They decide to name the tiny child, Danny, and quickly introduce him to his big sister Jazz. Danny grows up with the Fenton’s never knowing that he’s a clone hybrid of two different aliens. (Also in this au this is one of the reasons why Dani was so unstable when she was first created. Cause she was the clone of a clone that is half Kryptonian and half TimeLord. Something that Vlad didn’t know).

It isn’t until about five years after he becomes Phantom that he finds his old Cadmus medical ID bracelet in one of the filing cabinets in the ops center. He asks his parents about it and they finally tell him about how they found him on their doorstep when he was 4/5. Danny decides to consult Clockwork where he finds out that he was a clone created by Cadmus sometime in the future, and that Clockwork rescued him from them and gave him to the Fenton’s.

After finding this out, Danny decides to go searching for the two aliens who he was created from!

Superpham AU (part 7)

A short one today, but I thought this section was funny (until it got sad again).

-----

It’s a quiet evening in the Lane-Kent household: Lois is trying to turn her notes into an article, Clark is going over Jon’s math homework, and Jon is watching a show Lois is only half-following.  It features lots of gunfire and explosions, though Lois’s— unfortunately extensive— experience with witnessing real violence makes the version on TV look cartoonish.  She suspects that is part of the show’s appeal.

Danny is paying about as much attention to the TV as Lois is, engrossed in something on his phone.  At least he’s in the same room as the rest of them, instead of sequestering himself away.

“Hey Lois?” Danny suddenly asks.

Lois looks up from her work.  “What’s up?”

“Did you know the internet thinks you’re Superman’s girlfriend?”

Lois knows that if she looks at Clark, he’ll be turning red, the way he always does whenever this particular subject comes up.  Lois herself is barely holding back a laugh.  Jon’s wrinkling his nose, looking thoroughly embarrassed by his parents.

“Well, I am,” she says, barely keeping herself composed.

“No, I mean—” Danny begins.

“You mean people say that I’m dating Superman and married to Clark?”  Lois glances at Clark, who is now hiding his face in his hands.  “Someone forgot to check for cameras after rescuing me a few years back, and we got caught kissing on film.  It was let people think Superman is a homewrecker or let them think I’m in a polyamorous relationship with my husband and his alter ego.”  

“That’s… really weird.”  Danny is giving her the kind of judgmental look only teenagers can give.  

Lois does laugh at that.  “It is, a bit.  But it helps protect Clark’s secret identity, so I don’t mind.”

“Don’t listen to her,” Clark finally says.  “There were other ways to handle that situation; she just thinks this is funny.”

“Even your parents think it’s funny,” Lois says.  Clark just sighs, faux-aggrieved.  

“It’s not even the weirdest thing on the internet about Superman,” Danny says.  “It’s just the weirdest thing everyone agrees is true.”

“Please do not tell me what else you’ve found,” Clark says.  

“You can tell me,” Lois says.  “We can just make Clark leave for a bit.”  Reading conspiracy theories about Superman is her guilty pleasure, though if anyone asks, she does it to keep tabs on anyone who might have a viable way of hurting him.  

Danny just laughs, and something in Lois’s chest seizes up.  Is this the first time she’s heard him laugh since he came back?  She thinks it might be.

She doesn’t want to call attention to it; like as not, that would just make him pull away again.  Instead she says, “Superman doesn’t even get the best conspiracy theories.  Those are all Batman.”  That’s because Bruce purposefully cultivates them, of course, but that’s not important.

“Which one is he, again?” Danny asks.  

It’s not that Lois ever forgets that Danny has spent most of his life in another dimension.  But little offhand comments like that… they really drive it home.  There are plenty of superheroes, even Justice League members, that most of the general public has never heard of— but Batman is not one of them.

She's saved from answering by Clark.

"You'll meet him eventually," Clark says.  "He's a good friend of mine.  And Jon and Kon are close to his two youngest sons, Robin and Red Robin."

Danny nods thoughtfully.  "Right.  I think Red Robin's in the group chat Kon added me to."

Lois reminds herself to thank Kon next time she sees him.  He and Danny seem to have connected, and Kon seems to have made it his personal mission to keep Danny from slipping too far into one of his funks again.

"Speaking of Kon," Clark begins.  "Ma and Pa want to know when we'll be able to make it to Smallville to visit."

They've been trying not to overwhelm Danny by introducing him to too many new people at once, but maybe that was the wrong choice.  Maybe they should be pushing him to get out more, to connect with this dimension.  Besides, Kon spends most of his time in Smallville, and they already know that he and Danny get along.

Lois re-evaluates the article she’s been working on.  Perry would probably appreciate it sooner rather than later, but if she turns in a smaller article this week, she can probably swing a weekend off.  If not, she can always work on it from Kansas.

“This weekend should work,” Lois says.  “If that’s alright with you, Danny.”

Danny looks a little surprised to be consulted.  “I— yeah, that works.  Not like I have anywhere else to be.”  He laughs a little, but the joke falls flat, and Lois resolves to double down on helping Danny connect with more people here in this dimension.

Omg! The idea of Jack being Kryptonian is amazing as shit.

My original idea is that Jack and Maddie found out about Kon. After they figured out what was going on with Danny, they started looking into everything. So they also found out about his clone, Dani. And in trying to find resources to help convince a clone child to live with them, they accidentally stumbled into information about Connor Kent.

Jack and Maddie went and talked to the Kents. They didn't want anything to keep the secret. They just wanted a safe place their son could hide if need be.

They have like a signal that gets pressed so Marth and Jonathan know that Danny's coming and can get a room ready for him. They just don't know what happened and their kinda really worried. They know that the government has made Danny's entire existence illegal, and even Jack and Maddie's (and all of Amity Park's) attempts to repeal it have gone nowhere. It seemed Meta and Aliens are allowed protections, but ghosts is where the government draws the line.

Martha and Jonathan give Danny the run down and he explains what happened and he looks enough like Kon that Danny can pass for a Kent cousin too for now. They introduce him to Kon and explain they also have a spot ready if Dani ever shows up too, which just makes Danny cry. Because his parents do love him and do put him first and have been trying to fix what they've done.

The Kents give Danny a day to calm down before they call Clark, ask him to bring Jon and Lois. They've been out of the loop, because the Fentons worried that sudden justice league attention would put Danny in danger by making the situation visible. But now Danny's in danger so the Kents are getting the rest of the family in on it.

Clark listens to everything with a frown. Meanwhile, Lois is ready to murder people. She starts working on a series of stories. She'll have to make some trips to Amity Park, but she can start her research and interview Danny from Kansas while Clark calls for back up.

See, Superman's good and all, but they're going to need money for this one. So while the Kents stay for a mini "vacation", Clark calls for Bruce to bring Tim and Damian for a "vacation" as well. They're trying to leave a normal paper trail, because they actually have the government on their ass and they don't want to reveal Clark and Connor in the process of shielding Danny.

So the Waynes show up. Bruce vaguely knew about the Anti-Ecto acts, but since Ghosts were mostly something they called on magic to deal with, and mostly seemed to be vengeful and not even tangible, he thought of the acts as nonsense. He's very, very serious when he realizes that not only are they deadly serious, but they were in many ways crafted to catch and experiment on a teenage superhero.

So the plan becomes the following: 1) Hide Danny. 2) Locate and hide all Fentons. 3) Locate and hide Dani. 4) Bruce and the rich of the League pouring money and influence as stealthily as possible into helping getting the laws repealed. 5) Letting Lois and Clark go to town on the Anti-Ecto Acts and the GIW in the press. 6) Clark as Superman preparing to take to the UN, cause they're all pretty sure this is going to be harder than fighting for Meta Rights, since there are way more Metas. 7) Getting Danny officially into the Justice League (eventually), and testing his powers/training him/letting him train them. Also, possibly 8) getting the Fentons hired at Wayne Industries or at least contractors so that they can 9) make lots of ghost gear for Batman, the Justice League and also major important buildings.

They have a lot of work ahead of them.

SHORT DP X DC WRITING PROMPT #6

(Had this idea and it wouldn't let go. If there's already a fic that exists with this idea, please link me!)

✦

Danny's identity gets discovered by the GIW on one of Danny's patrols. They out him to his family when they go to capture him for experimentation and pretty much shoot him while he's sitting at the dinner table. His parents stand up for him and pretty much go to war with the GIW right then and there.

Jack hauls ass with an injured Danny in his arms while Maddie covers them from behind fast enough to barricade themselves in the Ops Center then turns to Danny to patch him up as best and quickly as possible. After him and Maddie do as much as they can, Jack then looks Danny in the eyes and tells him he needs to run. He straps a fully stocked travel backpack with plenty of extra bandages on Danny's back, hands him a prototype signature blocker, a map, and a location to go to. Danny is shocked at what the signature blocker means and his mom and dad reveal to him that they've know for a year or two already, at least right before Jazz headed off to college. They tell him they love him regardless of if he's alive, a ghost, or a bit of each.

They split up from there. His parents take the Ops Center and lead the GIW on a wild goose chase across the Midwest, while Danny secretly flies as fast as his injured state will allow. He tries to pace himself but anxiety and a sense of urgency push him to keep going and don't stop. When he finally finds the location his dad told him about he almost immediately drops from the sky and crash lands in a corn field in the middle of nowhere in the state of Kansas.

That's where he's found by a very distressed Mama Kent.

Up to you to decide what Jack's, and therefore Danny's, relationship is to the Kents. Are Jack and Martha siblings? Cousins? Is Jack another Kryptonian? Is Danny half Kryptonian and half ghost? You decide!
