#Justice League: he hasnt even gotten WHAT

[megamindsupremacy]

Just had the realization that a time traveling Batkid could meet pre-Robin Batman, figure out Bruce’s age, and, in surprise, blurt out “he hasn’t even gotten Dick yet!”

[silverheartlugia2000]

*After talking that bombshell out*

Batman clears his throat. "Your highness, If you don't mind can I ask you something in private?"

Danny blinks out of his dazed questionnaire with some of the space traveling heroes. "Oh? Yeah sure, of course Mr. Batman sir!"

Clark reaches over long enough to give Bruce a reassuring squeeze on his shoulder, already knowing what his friend was thinking.

Batman nods and leads King Phantom to his private office and sits in a chair. Phantom politely glances around while Bruce gathers himself. Normally, Bruce wouldn't actively seek someone else's advice when he can look into things himself, especially someone he literaly JUST met over an hour ago. But he didn't have many sources to seek out answers either.

"Is it common for people to come back from the dead?" the question froze Phantom. Curious. it seemed to have triggered him on a personal level.

"W-why do you ask? I mean if you're wanting to bring someone back I dont think I-"

"No it's not that."

"..."

"...My son. My second oldest. He was dead for a number of months before suddenly coming home. Alive, and very angry.."

"...Red Hood right? I mean, I've heard rumors about him. There are quite a few fans of his in the Realms, avenging a lot of them. He's pretty much a Protection Spirit in his own right."

Well that was surprising news to Batman. "Yes.. He.. wasn't happy with me at first.. He's still kind of mad, but we've gotten better."

"I'm not sure why you think I can help with that??"

"No, sorry I'm not-" Bruce sighs, why was he going so off topic with this? Probably just the lingeing fears.

"I discovered the acts and the GIW because, they captured him.. We were unaware of the.. changes due to his revival. He's still recovering."

"Oh.." Phantom looks far too sympathetic for someone he hasnt met. The ghost rubs his palm for a moment, hands curling close to his chest, almost in a defensive posture.

"Humanly, we arent finding anything wrong aside from the obvious wounds. But there is something impeding healing the process. And we arent sure how to treat the more ectoplasmic side of his health. Is there anyway you would be able to help him?"

Phantom gazed at Batman for a long moment. "From what I've heard, you arent a man to easily trust strangers, especially ones with the potential to be major threats. There was once a time someone used your plans to nearly take out the enitire Justice League. Your own friends. May I ask why you have such plans?"

"Power is.. easily misused.. Especially against baseline humans. I seen how fear can lead to.. abusive situations. In my city alone I have several rogues who use methods of psychological warfare to control people, I've seen alternate timelines where my friends or even myself has fallen from the morals we hold in this time. The plans I have vary from restraint until they come to their senses, or in the worst case senario.. something more permanent.. But in this instance I am out of options, our magic users aren't particularly specialized in medical practices other than surface level treatment. My child is in danger. And if it's for my children I'm willing to do anything."

He expected the young looking man to glare at his opinion, like most of the league did. They didn't understand his paranoia, too set in their current self to imagine such downfalls..

But Phantom, he smiles "I can understand that to a point. I was tested once, thrown into a timeline where my loved ones were taken before their time... In my grief I made some.. Poor decisions.. ended up fused with someone I've disliked for a long time. The being that came from that was made of pain and anger, and destroyed most of the world.." Phantom's gaze turned distant. "His timeline dosen't exist anymore, but he lived on outside of it due to being locked away. He has a second chance now, a new family to bond with. A new reason to keep going.."

Batman was surprised the king was willing to share that much, but then again Bruce isnt normally this open to strangers either, but it is for Jason's sake.

"I'll be honest with you Batman, I'm still fairly new to Rule, fairly new to being dead. And I'm still learning all the in's and outs of what I am or am not allowed to do with my powers. Including cultural niceties."

Bruce felt his chest tighten.

"But! I do happen to know a very good doctor who has experience in treating patents who are still partially alive."

He had to reel in his hopes HARD, wary. Constantine always cautions that interactions with the Other come at a price. "And If you could get them to help, what would you ask in return?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"You've already taken care of the biggest problem we were fretting over. Also you're placing a lot of trust in me to help even though I have done nothing to earn it. Besides."

Phantom lowers himself to stand on the ground, bright lights pass over him changing his colors and clothes. Before him stands a typical human teenager in comfortable Star Wars printed sleep pants and a well loved NASA hoodie. Breathing, alive.

"I understand what its like to tread both worlds yet know nothing about them. Seems like most ghosts that form have like an instinctual instruction manual that I didn't get. And they gave me a lot of trouble for it. It'd be nice to talk to someone who understands. If it's alright with you, maybe he could like, join some of the classes Gram-my mentor gives me about the realms if he's still curious? The rest of your family could come too if they want, Gramps loves to teach." Phantom chuckles softly, almost shyly.

Batman dosen't try to hide his smile this time. "I think he would love that."

Imagine if the GIW started gunning for Jason without the Batfam ever meeting Phantom. Like, Bruce has to figure out on his own that the guys in white suits with Lazarus guns are 1. a legitimate government agency, and 2. are perfectly within their rights to hunt Jason like an animal, because 3. there's secret government legislation that says that since Jason's body processes ectaplasm, he's classified as non-sapient and has no legal protections.

Bruce calling up Clark like

Bruce: I am currently in the process of breaking into a government facility in order to dismantle their operations.

Clark: Okay? Do you need... help?

Bruce: Yes.

Clark: Sure, I'll be right there.

Bruce: Not that kind of help. Oracle is sending you the files now. I'd like you and Ms. Lane to make these people wish they were never born.

Clark: [speed-reading the documents] Oh yeah, can do. This is truly disgusting. If the public is half as outraged as I am, we'll get this sorted as fast as the courts can manage.

So Clark Kent acts as a whistle-blower, the Justice League publicly condems the Anti-Ecto Acts as inhumane, the GIW is disbanded, and Batman gets pardoned for all of those crimes that he technically did by assaulting federal agents. And after all that gets sorted, some white haired kid pops up in the Watchtower like "haha thanks for that I really didn't want a war between Earth and the Infinite Realms" and the League are like "wait what"

Someone came up with the idea of OT4 (DJFoxLadyNoir), superheroes wooing the citizen on Parisian balconies, and I need it like I need air

I really like the idea of them all starting to flirt with him individually and by the time the third one hits he is all awkward and flustered and running away, and then turns a corner like “Why does this keep happening!?!?’

trying to vent to adrien about it and cant understand why adrien looks flustered about it, but being intrigued to discover that the others are doing it too

I just want Nino so bad to be like “I have no idea why this keeps happening I am so confused?!? Like everybody! Why?!”

I adore ot4 and normal nino with super partners is a freaking perf version of it. Mostly because i want hawkmoth to kidnap him and Nino to be beat up but defiant in Hawkmoths lair like 

“Might I remind you pal this aien’t no Lois lane situation. You kidnap Lois Lane you get superman on your ass, you kidnap ME and you get the whole freaking Justice League.” 

Normie boyfriend Nino getting offered a miraculous and turning it down cause SOMEBODY needs to be grounded and around to deal with stuff. 

Housewife Nino. when they get older he works from home, cooks and cleans for when his boyfriend and girlfriends because they all have full time jobs and also are saving the world so he takes the responsibility of maintaining the house. He gets really great at cooking and is always calling Marinette and Alya’s parents asking for cooking recipes and tips. Like imagine him with his phone tucked in his shoulder as he’s boiling water and sorting through the fridge, on the phone with Sabine like “Okay wait is that last thing totally needed cause like i’ve been crazy swamped and i haven’t been to the store so i only have so much- I don’t? Well what do i switch it with I got like some... no no Alya’s allergic. Well not ALLERGIC but it makes her stomach cramp so I don’t buy that.” 

and so on

Older Nino watches the news and only keeps doing things once the fight is over and he knows everyone is okay. He gets involved sometimes when he sees somebody time out and runs over to help and protect them until they can get back out there. 

Sometimes the others get so busy they dont appreciate the effort he puts in to make the relationship work, so maybe at some point he is just really worn down and tired because he hasnt gotten to see them in awhile on a personal level, like its always just running through the house or doing work or arguing, and he just wants more than anything for everything in the house to be DONE and for them to be home and his work to be caught up and he’s working towards a burn out- and then he feels arms wrap around his stomach while he’s doing laundry and he turns around to see Marinette with her face in his back, and she slowly starts pulling him out of the room, and he protests but the others come and take the laundry and put it away and eventually he relents and they all go and just sit together for awhile, and it feels so good and for a second they all just relax and start to talk and fill the gaps and make it work. 

And the next day even though Adrien must have slipped out at nearly dawn to make it to work out of town everyone finds a small set of roses left for them where he knew they’d see it before starting the day. 

Everybody making a huge effort. 

Everybody having different dynamics and spats and ways of being together. 

One big apartment, three superheros, and the guy who tries really hard. 

please someone draw it
