#The Batfamily think Danny knows their secret.

[kizzer55555]

The Vampire Aesthetic

Ok so Danny knows two billionaires personally and they really couldn’t be more different. Yet they had one thing in common. A vampire aesthetic. Sam is fully into goth. Spiderwebs, bats, the color black. She enjoys fangs and fake blood and the darkness of her soul. Meanwhile, Vlad is Vlad. If his name wasn’t enough, the dark clothing, pale skin, and flying around with a cape and fangs with coffins in his mansion really sells it.

Danny doesn’t know many rich people so he thinks this might be some kind of trend. (If Paulina is rich, her family likes the chupacabra) So he just thinks that all rich people have some kind of vampire thing going on.

Cue Danny somehow ending in the Wayne household. Maybe he was brought over as a friend of one of the bats, maybe rescued from a field trip/vacation gone wrong, maybe some other situation. But he is there in civilian form with civilian Waynes and Danny just takes a good long look around the inside of the mansion.

“So where’s the vampire aesthetic?

Everyone freezes.

Danny just starts looking around, checking behind paintings and feeling the walls for secret levers. Used to secret passages with Vlad and possibly Sam. The Fentons definitely had them when they were temporarily rich.

“Come on, I know you guys are hiding it.”

Cue the entire batfamily thinking that this is another Tim and that he is fully aware that these people are the batfamily. Danny hangs around the mansion more and the bats just start dropping their disguises and not even bothering to hide stuff around Danny because they assume he already knows. (Possibly even trying to recruit him to be a new bat) Meanwhile, Danny, who does not know these people are batman and his birds, just does not pick up on any of it.

He grew up in a health violation with a giant ballon observatory lab above his head and a portal to the afterlife in his basement. He is a half dead teenager who has tea with the god of time and his godfather is the other parent to his clone child. He’s used to death lazers being scattered across his home and mysterious stains on clothing.

People are weird! He doesn’t judge!

Forgotten Demon Twin 4/?

Damian crossed his arms. A part of him wanted to be angry at Danyal. How dare he lie to them? They wanted to ensure he was fine, and here he was, not telling them the whole truth.

Then, the guilt set in.

Damian wouldn’t have to have asked if he had checked up on his brother if he had remembered he had a brother. Why was he so angry? They were strangers to Danyal. Of course, he would keep his secrets close to his chest. He had lied to the League, knowing that it could result in his death. Lying to the famous ‘no killing allowed’ Batman must’ve been easier.

Danyal sat in midair, his legs crossed.

It was difficult to see Danyal as, was he a ghost? Was his brother dead?

“How did you gain powers,” Richard asked, “Neither Talia nor Bruce have the metagene.”

Danyal shrugged but didn’t answer.

“Listen, I appreciate that you guys care enough to come and visit me, even if it is years later,” he mumbled the last part. It still made the family flinch, “But I don’t owe you guys anything. I don’t have to explain the ifs, whys, and buts. Just because you guys feel guilty, you can’t just uproot my whole life and claim to care and want to take me away from the only loving family I have ever known.”

“I’m not in any danger here—”

“You’re a child hero without adult supervision,” Bruce said.

“—And I have everything under control.”

“You shouldn’t have to have everything under control, Danny. I understand the need to help, but you’re young. You deserve to have some help.”

“What makes you think I don’t have help?”

“Really, do your parents know you’re Phantom?”

Danyal said nothing.

“We want to help, Danyal,” Damian said.

A look of anger marred Danyal’s face.

“Help? Like when you said you would help me train, shoved a sword through my shoulder, and then pushed me from a tower?”

Damian flinched and ignored Tim’s judgmental look.

“That was wrong of me. I apologize for everything I’ve done to you.”

Danny was about to say something before stopping. He still wasn’t one hundred percent sure this wasn’t a trap and didn’t want to give Damian a reason to take him back. So far, it looked like the League was no longer involved, but Batman and his…children were an unknown factor. If he could convince them to leave…

“Daniel James Fenton, you are in big trouble, young man!”

Uh-oh. Irate older sister alert.

Every member of the Batfamily was surprised that an angry teenage red-haired girl had snuck up on them.

She was carrying a green and white baseball bat, and her eyes seemed to glow.

Duke noticed she had a weird aura around her, too. It wasn’t as strong as Danny’s, but still there.

“Who are you people? Why is a group of mostly adults meeting my younger brother in the middle of the night in a desolate park?”

The girl looked at everyone at them and gave a double take when she spotted Damian. She turned to Danny.

“Why are they here,” she asked loudly.

“Jazz, this is Bruce and Damian Wayne. They are my biological father and twin brother. Oh, and everyone else is Bruce’s adopted kids, I guess.”

Wow, he had Damian’s introduction skills.

She turned around and crossed her arms. The bat was still in her hands.

“I’ll ask again: why are you here?”

“I just found out about Danny and wanted to meet him?”

Jazz walked up to Bruce and, without hesitation, poked Bruce’s chest with the baseball bat.

“Oh, and you couldn’t have waited until morning and talked to our parents first? You just had to lure my baby brother away from the safety of his home and basically ambush him?”

“Jazz,” Danny whined, embarrassed.

“I’m just saying it how I see it, little brother.”

“There were some outside circumstances that would’ve made meeting,” Jazz interrupted Bruce by banging the end of the baseball bat on the floor. It left a crater.

“I don’t care about you’re ‘outside circumstances.’ Most of you are adults, and you have a minor with you at night without his legal guardian’s knowledge. If you want to talk to Danny, meet our parents first and set up a meeting like a normal person.”

“Jazz, you don’t understand who they are—”

“I don’t care if they’re the president. Rules exist for a reason. Now come, Danny, we’re going home. Tucker and Sam are worried.”

Danny detransformed and followed Jazz. The last thing he heard was the butler say, “I like her.”

He sighed. It was going to be a long ride back home.

____

Tim had yet to learn what happened.

One minute, he was introduced to the Demon Brat’s twin brother (who seemed more mellow than Damian). The next, they had been attacked by some creature that Danny beat in under ten seconds.

He knew Danny had been lying when he opened his mouth, and Cass had confirmed it. He hadn’t had time to interrogate the kid, though, before an angry red-hair, who reminded him a bit of Barbara, showed up and chewed Bruce out while holding nothing more than a baseball bat.

“Well, that was…interesting,” Duke said.

“I like her,” Jason said, “She stood up to Bruce.”

Bruce glared at Jason. It wasn’t often he got chewed out, and it had never been from a teenage girl. He didn’t like it.

“So, next course of action,” Tim asked.

“Tt, obviously we get Danyal out of this…situation. He shouldn’t have to deal with all of this alone.”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea, baby bat.”

“Why not?”

“Danny seems to be attached to his adoptive family. He’s suffered a lot in the League. Don’t you think we should consider his feelings?”

The brat thought about it before deflating a little but said nothing.

“So, I repeat: what now?”

Bruce said nothing, not sure what to do.

Suddenly, the smell of earl grey tea was heavy in the air, and he felt the phantom hand of his late surrogate father.

He took a deep breath and said, “It’s time to meet the Fenton.”

DPxDC Prompt: the Demon Twins were never separated

Most demon twins aus have them be separated, by circumstance or shenaniganery or death. But what if they were never separated?

Madeline Fenton has a secret. Her real name is Talia al Ghul, and she’s been undercover for years, trying to see if ectoplasm has any connection to the Lazarus Pits by studying it with a scientist she fell in love with along the way. Yes, Jasmine Fenton is really her kid. The red hair comes from a recessive gene from Jack’s side, though Talia’s red wig makes people think Jazz gets it from her. People assume that Maddie is just abnormally tan for a redhead, despite most redheads being pale af. However, when on a mission as Talia (framed as a girls trip with an old friend when telling Jack where she was going), she fell in love with Bruce and ended up getting pregnant with twins. Jack Fenton doesn’t know any better. In fact, he doesn’t even realize his son isn’t his son.

And he has no clue that his son is a twin.

Talia left one son with Ra’s for training and kept one for the Fentons, telling her father it was needed for her cover. However, she didn’t want either of her sons to fall behind on their socialization or their assassin training. So, every other month, they switched places.

Damian and Danny grew up constantly keeping in touch. Talia had given them secret communicators, so whichever one was in Amity reported back to the one in Nanda Parbat. This way, they both knew exactly what was going on in their shared life at all times. (Ra’s knew about the twins and just did the training sessions twice, once per kid, so they didn’t have to worry about pretending in Nanda Parbat.)

Eventually, Danny and Damian got sick of Nanda Parbat. They both loved having a civilian life. But they couldn’t do that in Amity, since a sudden appearance of a twin would raise all kinds of questions. So they had to decide. Which one would stay in Amity, and which one would go to Gotham to live with their father?

Before they could pick, the decision was made for them, when Danny died in the portal in front of Sam and Tucker. Damian couldn’t fake that no matter how hard he tried, and the experiment was not replicable.

(They didn’t tell Talia this, of course. She didn’t know about Phantom and between her dubiously ethical studies of ectoplasm and ghosts and her assassin background, she was not to be trusted with that information. They told her they decided it with rock paper scissors.)

And so, Damian went to Gotham, and Danny stayed in Amity. They kept in touch constantly. Danny was jealous he’d never get to meet his father and the rest of his siblings, and Damian very much missed his friends Sam and Tucker. So they constantly give each other updates on their lives on their secret communicators.

Eventually, after a few years apart, they reunite. The JL needs Phantom for something so Dami calls him in and Danny’s so hyped about finally getting to meet the heroes he’s heard so much about for years. After the problem is handled, since the cat’s out of the bag, Danny brings Jazz, Ellie, Sam, and Tucker with him to visit his brother at Wayne Manor. Jazz, the one person who’d always been able to tell the pair apart (even if she never mentioned it to her parents, she talked to her siblings about knowing which was which and helping them form their own individual wants and desires separately from each other), had been trying to get them to reunite for years and was ecstatic to see her other little brother again. Danny and Damian are of course thrilled to see each other. Ellie is excited to meet her template’s twin, having heard so much about him from Danny. And Sam and Tucker, who could always tell that something was different between the two but thought it was closer to a mood disorder rather than a secret twin swap, are shocked to realize that Damian is a different person but thrilled to see him nonetheless. Now that they know, it’s obvious in hindsight.

Meanwhile, the batfamily is losing their shit. How the hell did Damian keep an entire half of his life - and a whole twin that he talked to all time - from all of them? Weren’t they supposed to be detectives? How did they miss this??

Cue all kinds of place swapping shenanigans from the twins who spent their whole childhoods doing it. Further infuriating the bats when they can’t tell them apart and the Amity folks can, even if it’s a struggle. (Sam and Tucker guess right about 80% of the time because they’ve known them for so long, even if they didn’t know it was two separate people at the time. Jazz gets it right 100% of the time, she just knows her brothers so well. Ellie cheats and senses Danny with her ghost sense so she’s always right without guessing.) Bruce nearly has a mental breakdown upon learning that he has another son who he can’t tell apart from the son he knew about half the time. Tim’s the only bat who can pick up on which twin is which, and that’s mostly because Danny’s a lot more chill around him than Damian is. Damian, in order to better swap places with Danny, backs off the Tim murder plans. It’s a win win for Tim. (I should note that they’re not constantly swapping. They do it for fun and to cover for each other but they do it maybe 5% of their time in the manor. Most of the figuring out which is which happens at the start of the day when they all sit down for breakfast together. The bats are consistent with that. It’s the “have they swapped or not” incidents that get to them.)

Also, Danny comes to live with them half the time, splitting his time between Gotham and Amity. He always brings Jazz and Ellie with him so they’re just honorary Wayne kids now too, a bit like Steph. Damian also starts spending time in Amity every once in a while when Danny’s in Gotham. He does miss Talia and Jack, after all. He’s usually not there long, though, and most of his visits are spent with Sam and Tucker anyway. Yes, he sees them in Gotham all the time since Danny drags them over a lot, but it’s nice to hang out with them in his hometown. Their hometown. It’s fun to revisit his memories of his childhood with some of his best friends.

Hi Halfa! What's 3 DC fics you'd think would be interesting to include DP characters/tropes into?

And what's 3 DP fics do you think'd be interesting to include DC characters/tropes into?

(This isn't a ploy to fish fic recs, psshhhhhhh, noooooooooo)

Hello Anon! :D Don't take this the wrong way but I am giddy with excitement right now because I've been talking about this with friends and I am just squealing now that I get to ramble about it.

Now just to clarify, I'll probably use tropes more so than specific fics, because for one, I don't want to step on any author's toes. And two, I like those fics as they are and do not want to dirty them with my grubby hands. However! I can still give fic recs so you can get an idea of the kind of AU I'm talking about here. lol Not that you're fishing for them ofc, no not at all

(Added a Read More because apparently I have a lot of fic recs. :D Total: 17 (if I mathed right, that is))

DC Fics, Now With a Splash of ectoplasm DP

Stray Tim AU

He's technically also known as Catlad, but like- I prefer Stray (as if that isn't obvious by my Stray!Danny AU XD), but that's neither here nor there. In this AU, if the name didn't explain enough, he apprentices underneath Selina as her apprentice. Depending on the author's choice, it's either as a young child or after he leaves the Batfamily for one reason or another.

An example of this AU: timcat by drakefeathers. This fic actually got recommended to me earlier today (you know who you are) and it is so cute. He is so baby and I love him.

2. Reverse Robins AU

Now this is an AU I've talked about frequently, but for good reason. There are so many ways you can write this idea- Hell, can you imagine a Demon Twins AU with Reverse Robins- Hold on a sec, let me add a WIP to my spreadsheet...

Okay, back. Anyways, where was I? Oh right, REVERSE ROBINS! In this AU, Damian is actually the oldest Batkid, and Dick is the youngest. Depending on the AU, Dick can even be an ex-Talon, so just keep that in mind~ Almost unanimously, Tim is the Batkid that died instead of Jason, and becomes the Red Hood (sometimes he was Joker Junior in this AU as well which is... uh. If you look into those fics, make sure you read the tags religiously.)

An example for this AU: and oh, my heart (how can i face you now?) by weareallstardustfallen. And this fic is *chef's kiss* It's in Damian's POV, it's a gloriously long one-shot. I cannot recommend this enough.

3. Jason Todd Goes Home

There are multiple interpretations you can do with this AU. Sometimes he doesn't become Red Hood, sometimes he doesn't get dipped in the Lazarus Pit, it all really depends on what you want to do with it. I've technically written a fic with this idea, where Danny actually finds Jason and helps him claw out of his grave, subsequently returning him home. That fic is what was lost, found again. Five chapters, completed.

There are fics where Tim actually finds Jason first! Here's one called best laid plans by Valkirin. Highly recommend. Tim finds Jason first but then the League of Assassins find them too. >:3

On a different, yet similar note, we have a fic where Talia is actually a decent person and brings Jason back??? After dunking him in a Pit??? You love to see it. This one is Verdant by Cerusee.

DP Fics Now With DC Packing

Field Trip to the Ghost Zone

There are a decent number of these fics out there if you know where to find them. I feel like this one is self-explanatory, but basically- Danny's class takes either a planned or impromptu trip to the Ghost Zone. Very rarely does his secret identity survive the fallout. Now imagine if we put Damian's class on the school bus.

Some Gothamite kid, probably: "I don't remember The Magic School Bus going like this."

Marsalias' (in)famous Mortified is definitely one of them up there. They actually wrote a second field trip fic not long after completing Mortified, which is called School Bus in the Ghost Zone. So if you're in the process of reading Mortified, or maybe you can't commit to a long-form fic right now, this one might be for you.

Deathcomes4u also has two field trip fics you can read. One of them was for this year's Phic Phight called The Gloves Are Off. He-larious fic, cannot get enough of it. Also includes some very fun DP headcanons! The second is called The Trip. You're gonna want to read the tags before you explore this one, but what's up so far a very thrilling read.

There is also Stranded With My Class, but this one is on FF.net so you might want to turn on ALL your adblockers before you venture into that site.

2. Death Day :3

I've written a chapter about this in lex luthor's ascent but it's part of a larger plot so I hope no one feels pressured to read it. But in general this fic idea can be very heavy, BE CAREFUL if you explore it. You can have DC characters react to Danny's death day, you can give Jason or Damian or Cass- or pretty much any resurrected DC character you like- a death day. Spread the whump and angst, that's how we show our love.

Here is an example, also from Deathcomes4u: Anniversary. I really enjoy how this author writes the background characters as well. It's got a splash of humor and the Everlasting Trio makes me all soft. :')

Death Day Evolution by gamma_radio has some great worldbuilding and lore added to the concept. I love how they tied Danny gets new powers in this fic, and you gotta love the Cryptid Danny Fenton energy. XD

3. Partial Identity Reveals

Now this one is more self-indulgent for me, but I'm allowed to do that. XD I would've put simply Cryptid Danny, but it encompasses a little more than that in most cases, which is why I kept this title for it instead.

These are fics where Danny is revealed or shown to be Off™ somewhat, but in most cases they don't know the full extent of his secret identity. Most of the time it's just his powers or that he's not fully human, what have you. I love a good bombastic identity reveal, you know, but something about the subtler ones are more inspirational, if you will. lol

I think this is the type of AU that would suit a Batman detective story much more, and allows the DC characters more time and interaction into this new world- if you will- rather than throwing them straight in it. Does that make sense? I hope that makes sense.

Shots Fired by RedGhost1010 is an exceptional fic (I believe this author is also the person who writes Stranded with My Class, mentioned earlier, just uses a different pen name on Ao3). However, please read the tags for it before you do. This fic can be triggering for some people. They also write what is probably my favorite Bad Parent Jack and Maddie fic, which is called Humans and Ghosts. Another one you probably should read the tags for. But please check out their other fics; I enjoy so many of them, but unfortunately not all of them fit this fic rec description. :\

Finally we have It's Like Time Stops by anthrop. I cannot tell you how many times I reread this fic way back when. It's a very tasty Outsider POV fic that gives a view into how things changed after the Accident, and it's a good study into how his classmates would have perceived it.

Whooo... that's a lot of fic recs. I hope you got some new things to read out of it at least! Have some fun, but make sure to take care of yourself and avoid the fics that just aren't for you. No one will blame you for it. <3

[breesperez139]

Imagine Danny not even asking Tim if he saw anything and instead just going on with his day as if Danny’s reaction was normal. Which to him it might be, if this is a Liminal Amity Park Au AND an unaware but still liminal Batfam Au.

If this is the case, Danny was adopted thinking the Batfam knew of their own liminality and Danny’s halfa status. So he’s not mincing his words or hiding anything on purpose. Like he genuinely thinks the Batfam knows what’s up when in reality they don’t know shit.

And the Batfam only grow more and more concerned until this happens and Tim’s like “Danny’s not human?!?!!?!”. Which makes more and more sense when they think about it but it also doesn’t because he acts way too human (though that could be explained with him being raised as a human with humans by (maybe) humans).

Being a meta was ruled out almost immediately because he tested negative for the metagene AND Tim described Danny’s other form as feeling and looking otherworldly. Leading up to the conclusion of Danny being not human or at least not fully human. Alien possibly but there are of course other possibilities they cannot rule out quite yet.

This goes on and on, trying to figure out what Danny is without letting him know they’re onto him so that he doesn’t panic and run. Only they start to realize Danny isn’t keeping secrets from them on purpose. He isn’t even hiding his other form. They just didn’t notice before because the combination of Danny acting normally and them growing far too used to his eccentricities practically gaslit everyone into thinking nothing was out of the ordinary.

And most importantly, they soon realize he truly believes they know. They haven’t even told Danny about them being vigilantes. Why would he assume they know he’s not human if he hadn’t told them?? Who just assumes normal people would know if the family member they adopted wasn’t human?

Danny legit saw them for the first time and thought “Oh, they’re liminal! They want to help me heal and form new fraid bonds. How thoughtful! I accept your adoption request.” Not thinking twice that they might not know they’re liminal or that he’s half dead.

Just thinking about the Batfamily communicating through their bonds without knowing and Danny responding but not realizing they don’t know what they’re doing makes me sad. Danny’s just doing his best to not keep secrets from his family this time around but he’s not very good at it yet.

Damian Wayne was like a duckling. A violent, stab-happy, danger-prone duckling, yes, but a duckling all the same. Which means when Danny almost got stabbed by a sleepy, instinct driven Damian, he was able to wave it off with a laugh. Damian, on the other hand, stared in horror at the butter knife firmly lodged in Danny’s arm.

“PENNYWORTH!” Danny jerked back at Damian’s scream. “RICHARD! FATHER!”

God damn, the kid had a pair of lungs on him. Danny’s wince was interpreted as pain to Damian, who gently grabbed his injured arm and started to pull him towards the kitchen’s marble island.

Danny blinked, non plussed as his hearing picked up a thundering of feet as the present family members scrambled towards Damian’s distress call.

“Wait, Damian, I’m fine. It’s-”

“You have been impaled, you imbecile! Had it been any of the other simpletons, they would have-!”

“Ouch.” Danny put his other hand in mock hurt over his slow-beating heart. He literally doesn’t care about the butter knife. He’s just impressed there was enough force in there to impale him. “Are you calling me names now? After- gasp- stabbing me?”

Before Damian could reply, the beginnings of regret, remorse, and guilt on his face, Alfred, Dick, and Bruce burst into the kitchen.

“What happened?!”

“My word, master Danny!”

“What is it?!”

“I’m fine. It’s like a small stab. Not even a big stab. I’m good.”

Dick paled, seeing Danny’s arm clutched in Damian’s hand.

“That’s- that’s a knife. In your arm. How is that ‘fine’?!”

“What happened.” Bruce asked Damian, gently removing Danny’s arm from Damian’s death clutch.

“I- I did not mean to,” Damian starts, guilt coloring his voice.

“He didn’t,” Danny cuts in. “I startled him and got stabbed for being dumb. I won’t fault him for having a defense mechanism like that, ancient knows what I might do if you guys startled me.”

The awkward silence that settled at his words made Danny twitch awkwardly.

“Uh, so, can I add this knife to my collection? Even if I didn’t get mugged?”

“Danny.”

“Bruce.” Danny stared stubbornly back. With his uninsured hand, he patted Damian on the head. He was going to enjoy the fluffiness before Damian’s guilt was no longer enough to hold him back from snapping at Danny’s hand like a grumpy alligator. Bruce loses, obviously. He’s a teenager who was also an ex-vigilante. Batman’s got nothing on a determined halfa.

“Master Danny, I must insist you refrain from getting stabbed. There is only so much gauze and antiseptic cream in the house.” Alfred returned- huh, when did he leave?- with a med kit.

Danny called bullshit because he knows there’s a whole ass medical bay beneath the manor.

“Sorry.”

“No need to apologize.” Alfred said, promptly beginning the extraction of the butter knife.

“Are you okay?” Dick asked, hovering worriedly. “He- are you…?”

Damian was allowing Danny to ruffle his hair, so…

“Yep, I’m good. This isn’t even on my top thirty most painful stabbings,” and it really wasn’t. That honor was given to the GIW and that one time Jazz accidentally stabbed him with her earrings. “That was pretty impressive, actually. It’s like, a butter knife. The other ones had pointy ends.”

“Do not clump me with those pathetic wastes of spaces. I am naturally superior and would… would never harm you on purpose.” Damian said, getting quiet at the end like he was trying to plead to Danny to believe him.

“Of course not. But- if you want help me keep the knife, you can hit me with a mug, it would technically be a mugging.”

The pun got the desired effect. Damian leaned away with a disgruntled look and Dick stopped hovering as close in order to let out a small cackle.

“Done.”

“You should go get changed, kiddo. We’re going to see Tim’s photography at the Gotham Gallery today.”

“Oh, for real?” Danny patted Damian’s fluffy hair one last time, pushing away from the counter. “Oh, I’ll clean up here first and-”

“That will not be necessary,” Alfred scolded, a mop somehow already in his hands. “Please see to it you are prepared for the day.”

“Thanks, Alfred. Can I keep the knife.”

“Very well.”

“Sweet. See you guys later?” Danny pranced off after seeing the nods.

——

“He’s… he got stabbed a lot. Before us, I mean.” Dick tapped a furious rhythm onto the counter. “Not that we’ve stabbed him until now but even once is concerning for a civilian.”

“He was used to it.” Bruce replied.

“Perhaps we should join Todd in his endeavor and ensure that his worthless tormentors are permanently out of the picture.”

“God, he said top thirty. He was counting.”

Damian silently withdrew a kitchen knife.

“No murder with my quality chef’s knives, Master Damian.”

“Tt.”

“Master Jason follows the same rules. Now, out of the kitchen. I may be old, but I remember the last time master Bruce and master Dick stepped foot in here and I will not have a repeat.”

Ghosts in Gotham

Danny Phantom / DC Comics

With no way to go in there themselves, with no way to fight the ghosts inside, the bats decide to call the person who can; Danny Phantom. Together, Danny takes Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown and Damian Wayne into the Ghost Zone before the Batman is lost forever.

Chapter 4

__

"Fenton, do you have any twos?"

"Go fish."

Damian grumbled something in Arabic as he picked up a card from the pile.

"I feel like that was a bad word."

"You would be correct."

Danny turned to Stephanie. "Steph, you got any fours?" he asked. Stephanie huffed as she handed him a four of hearts, and Danny grinned victoriously as he took two fours and laid them on the ground.

Seeing as they had a two-hour trip to get to the prison, the four had set the Speeder on autopilot and decided to play a card game. Usually, the Infi-map would have their trip being two seconds, but something was wrong with it, so it was much slower than usual.

"Yo Timbers, you have any kings?" Danny asked the oldest boy. Tim smirked and shook his head.

"Go fish, Ghost Child," he replied. Tim had found it hilarious that Skulker referred to Danny as 'Ghost Child,' and had taken up calling him that as well. He turned to Damian. "You got any twos, Demon Spawn?"

If looks could kill, Tim would be six feet under. Damian threw the card at his older brother, whose eyes gleamed as he laid the twos down by his side. "Danny, you have any... sixes?"

"Yes, sir, I do," Danny chirped as he handed over the card. Tim turned back to Damian.

"You have any threes?"

"No, Drake, I do not," Damian said with a proud smile, "Suck on that." Danny and Stephanie clapped.

"You're learning slang!" they said simultaneously. Damian rolled his eyes, before looking at Stephanie.

"Brown, hand me your sevens," he ordered and smiled proudly as she gave him the cards. "Uno!" he shouted.

"Wrong game, dude," Danny said, "But good effort!"

"So, Danny," Stephanie said, "Why do you call Future-You 'Dark Danny' when you could call him something that isn't cringey like 'Dan?'

"'Dan?'" Danny echoed, "That sounds so... normal. Like can you imagine newscast being like, 'the world is ending, and soon we will all be slaves to Dan.'"

"It sounds much better than Dark Danny," Damian piped up as he took a card from Tim. "That sounds like a roller coaster ride at Six Flags."

"The gremlin's right," Tim agreed. Danny glared at them.

"I'm feeling so attacked right now, guys, and I'll have you know that my girlfriend came up with that name."

"You," Damian said derisively, "Have a girlfriend?" Tim rolled his eyes.

"Damian, yes, you knew that. Samantha Manson, you've literally met her parents at a gala one time," he paused, "Did you not pay attention at all when we were reading Danny's file?"

"I only cared about his abilities as Phantom," Damian replied as Danny exclaimed, "I have a file!?" simultaneously.

"Uh, duh," Stephanie answered, "You think we'd tell you the greatest secret ever if we didn't run a background check first?"

"So you guys know I died, then?" Danny asked nervously, scared of what they'd think. Yeah, sure they knew he was half ghost, but would they think it was weird that he was technically dead? That he wasn't technically fully human?

"Yeah," Stephanie answered as though it was obvious. Danny blinked.

"And... you don't care?"

"You believe you are the only one who has died before?" Damian rolled his eyes, "You are not as special as you think, Fenton. Get over yourself.”

Danny's jaw dropped. "Wait, you've died before?"

"Damian and I both have!" Stephanie said before Damian could reply. "We call ourselves the Dead Robins Club. Jason's in it too. Dick wants to be in it, but we won't let him because he only faked his death, he didn't actually die."

Danny's eyes lit up. "Can I join!?"

"You are not a Robin," Damian pointed out, "So no, you cannot." At Danny's frown, he sighed, and added, "But if you are going to be a child about it, perhaps we could speak to Todd and see if you could be an honorary member."

"Hey, we have like, thirty minutes left till we get there," Tim spoke up, "So let's go over the plan again."

Danny cleared his throat. "Right. So I'll be the distraction. I'll fly in there and cause a ruckus, and distract Walker so you three can get in and find Wulf."

"And because we're humans, we can just walk through things," Tim added, "And I get the collar off of Wulf, and we rescue you."

"There are so many holes in this place," Damian pointed out, "What if Wulf does not trust us? What if Drake cannot get the collar off?"

"Well, that'd suck," Danny replied, "But I trust him, don't worry. The only part that should be difficult is getting me out. Totally do-able, just difficult. But I've done it twice, so we should be fine."

"Yeah, we got this!" Stephanie cracked her knuckles with a grin. "We've succeeded on missions that had way lower odds than this," she paused, "Hey Danny, this Walker guy wants to keep order in the Ghost Zone, right? What are the chances he'd help us?"

"Like two percent," Danny answered, running a hand through his hair, "And even if he does believe us, he'd lock us up here and go after Dark Dan- I'm sorry, Dan," he rolled his eyes at his friends' pointed looks, "by himself, and he doesn't know how he works. This is our best bet."

"Don't worry, we've got this!" Tim promised, "I've broken Jason out of jail before, I'm basically an expert at this."

Thirty minutes later, they had arrived. The four jumped out of the Speeder, Danny pushing a button inside that turned it intangible before he got out. He turned to his friends. "So," he said, "You guys ready?" At their nod, they began.

Danny flew into the air, over the barbed fence. "Hey Walker!" he yelled, "Look at me! I'm a distraction!" He shot a barrage of ecto-blasts into the sky, lighting up the prison in lazarus-green flashes in a similar fashion to fireworks on the Fourth of July.

He grinned as he saw ghosts in police-like uniforms swarming out of the entrance and heading towards him. He rushed towards them, his eyes lighting up as he shot a beam of ecto-energy at the guards, blasting them aside.

A few guards lifted their blasters to their shoulders and fired. Danny did a backflip in the air, contorting his body around the shots before sending back some of his own. This continued for a while, Danny darted in and out of their ranks. He was smiling widely as he lifted both of his hands above his head, a large ball of ecto-energy crackling in them. "You ready for this!?" he shouted as he prepared to throw the massive fireball. "Yippee ki yay, moth-" he was cut off as a net was shot at him, enveloping Danny and sending him crashing to the ground. He groaned as he looked up, and wasn't the least bit surprised to see who had caught him.

A large ghost in a snow-white trench coat with a face of the same color was sneering at him. "Well well well, if it isn't Danny Phantom," Walker smirked, "Causing a ruckus outside my prison? That's against the rules."

_

"This way," Tim said quietly as he led Damian and Stephanie into the compound. Well, Tim wasn't truly the one leading. Cujo was in front of them, nose to the ground, intent on sniffing out Wulf.

Damian and Stephanie had their backs to one another, the former using the latter to guide him as he was facing the rear, watching for anything trying to sneak up on them. "The Ghost Zone reminds me of the Lazarus Pit," he muttered to himself, "And Phantom's hair is white from it, just like Todd's streak. I wonder..." he stopped talking as Stephanie came to a sudden halt.

They pressed themselves against the wall as six guards marched past, hauling a chained Danny behind them. He was glaring defiantly at Walker, seemingly mocking his stern words, showing no fear.

"I think we're good," Tim whispered as they passed, "Now let's-" he was cut off as he leaned harder against the wall and fell right through it, dragging Stephanie and Damian with him.

"Crap," Stephanie huffed, rubbing her head. "Did you forget that we're like the ghosts here? We can phase through everything here." She frowned as Cujo jumped into her lap, licking her face. He seemed to have phased through with them. "And I guess Cujo can too."

"Red Robin, if only your memory was as strong as your grip," Damian snapped, using Tim's hero name, "Then perhaps we would have found Wulf by now."

"Hey, I'm following the same dog as you," Tim retorted, "Now come on, let's go. The sooner we get out of here, the better."

Cujo yapped as he turned to the right. He dashed in that direction, seemingly having picked up Wulf's scent again. The Gothamites followed him through the prison. They reached a pair of sliding doors below a sign that read 'Dangerous Prisoners' above it.

"Sounds like our guy," Stephanie said. Tim nodded in agreement as they stepped through the doors, phasing through them.

All three of them shivered, a chill running up their spine as terror possessed them. None of them voiced it to the others, but they all got the sense that they were near something that was positively evil.

Cujo, however, didn't seem to mind. Or, if he did, he didn't show it either. He pranced down the hallway, looking over his shoulder and barking at the heroes to follow him. They did so, walking slowly and looking both ways.

They were all more terrified than they had ever been in their lives.

Cujo stopped, wagging his tail with his tongue lolling, in front of a cell. He barked again as he waited for Damian, Tim, and Stephanie to catch up to him.

Wulf was massive. He appeared to be a humanoid-wolf hybrid with a green undertone and a silver collar. He snarled, his hackles rising as the three stood in front of him.

"My name is Red Robin," Tim began, "And this is Robin and Batgirl. We're friends of Danny Phantom."

"Friends of... Dan-knee?" Wulf asked gruffly, his teeth bared. Tim nodded.

"Yeah. He sent us here to break you out," Tim took a hesitant step forward, "But first I have to get that collar off of you. Can I do that?"

Wulf slowly nodded and watched Tim phase through the bars of his cell with narrowed eyes. He flinched as Tim pulled out a small device from his utility belt and set it on the collar. A holographic screen and keyboard appeared above his gauntlet. Tim typing something on the keyboard, and with a blink of the device, the collar fell off.

Wulf rose to his full height, towering over Tim. The latter stood up straight. "Danny has been captured," he said, "Will you help us free him?"

Wulf looked at him and grunted. He turned intangible and phased out of his cell with Tim close behind.

"Fantastic," Damian said with a nod, "Now, let us go find Phantom." The five began to leave but stopped dead in their tracks as a terrifying voice spoke.

"Humans!" the voice hissed.

The Bats turned around to see a terrifying ghost. It had a purple cloak with a spindly tan and black striped body and one glowing purple eye and the same collar that was on Wulf around his neck. The ghost narrowed his single eye as he spoke.

"You are freeing this oaf but not me?" the ghost snarled, "You are leaving me to rot? Me? Zs'Skayr? The High Ecto-Lord of Anur Transyl?"

Wulf snarled as the others were frozen in fear. Something was wrong about this Zs'Skayr. Batgirl, Robin, and Red Robin were heroes. They'd fought with the Justice Leauge. They'd gone toe to toe with Joker.

But Zs'Skayr?

They couldn't explain it, but this being was absolutely horrifying.

"Who are you?" Damian was the first to speak up, shaking like a scared dog being brought outside for the first time. Zs'Skayr's eye flashed.

"I am Zs'Skayr!" he roared, "The most terrifying being in the universe! Arch enemy to the Omnitrix!" he met Damian's eyes. "I am the one who can break you free. I can save your friend and destroy this cursed prison."

"We can't let you that," Tim croaked, "Absolutely not."

Zs'Skayr's eye did not leave Damian's. He cocked his head. "There is a darkness in you, child," he hissed, "One you are trying to overcome. Do not fight it! I can give you all the power you could ever desire!"

Damian gulped, clenching his fists and staring Zs'Skayr right back. "I do not need your power," he said stiffly, "And I do not need your help."

"Let us go," Wulf interrupted, putting a paw on Damian's shoulder. "Need help Danny."

Damian nodded, and with another glance at the Hellish being, they left.

_

Danny closed his eyes in pain at Walker's punch, but refused to fall. He looked up with a gleam in his eyes.

"That's really the best you got?" Danny scoffed, "You're losing your touch! You've known me for two years and that's all you can do?"

"Just tell me why you're here, kid," Walker replied. Danny groaned.

"I already did!"

"You think I'm stupid enough to believe some lie about time travel?"

"I mean, yeah, I think you're pretty stupid," Danny replied, "But I'm not lying!"

"Sure you aren't, kid."

Danny gave the ghost a blank stare. "You know, Walker, you seem to have trust issues. That sometimes stems from trauma. Do you want to talk about it?"

Walker narrowed his eyes before punching Danny in the face. The boy turned back to him and laughed.

"I've fought Pariah Dark, Fright Knight, and you multiple times and you think a measly punch is gonna shut me up?"

He was stalling. Danny just had to keep it up until his friends could get the cuffs off of him, and he could freeze Walker.

Speaking of freezing, Danny froze as he slowly shut his eyes and sighed, "I've gotta say, though, you might not be the only one who can be stupid," In a ring of light, Danny transformed back into a human, and phased out of the cuffs with ease.

"Ha!" he yelled, "In your face!" He shifted back into his ghost form and grinned as his hands lit up in blue light. "You know, I hate to just run out on you like this, but I gotta go." With a flash of light, Danny thrust his hands in front of him, and a bolt of ice shot from his palms. Walker screamed as his body was encased in ice.

Danny shook his head as he floated to the ground. "Now, where oh where are my friends?"

"Right here, my guy!" At the sound of Stephanie's voice, Danny turned around to see his friends, with Wulf close behind. Danny's face lit up.

"Wulf!" he shouted with glee, "I've missed you, buddy!"

"Miss you too," Wulf replied.

"Let's get out of here," Tim said, "Before they realize you and Wulf have escaped."

A red flashing light lit up above them. Damian sucked in his teeth. "Too late."

Danny waved his hand. "Come on, let's go!" With that, the group dashed forward, phasing through the wall.

They skidded to a halt as they were faced with ten guards. They swung their batons. "Freeze!" one of them yelled.

Danny shrugged. "If you say so," he blasted them with a wave of ice, freezing the guards. Tim grinned.

"Nice one, Phantom," he praised as they continued forward, tucking a rolling above the frozen ghosts with ease.

They phased through another wall, Wulf leading them forward. Two guards appeared in front of them, but Wulf swatted them aside with ease. Phasing through another wall, they were outside.

They were almost to the Speeder. Danny looked behind him and saw an army of guards swarming out of the doors of the prison. Danny skidded to a halt in the air and turned around. He blasted the group with ice, freezing half of them. The other half, though, they kept coming.

Danny turned back around, phasing into the Speeder where the others were already seated. "Come on, Tim, let's go!" he urged, looking outside the window as he spoke. Tim pushed a button on the control panel, and the vessel rose into the air and, with sonic boom behind them, shot into the air and away from the prison.

2. What’s next on your ‘to-read’ list? (Fan fiction or otherwise)

That is a really good question! I have been reading books in fits and starts since the pandemic began, and I am currently not reading anything pro-fic-wise, and I am not reading anything new fanfic-wise, though I am considering another reread of shoalsea’s Into the Brighter Night as I have basically been continuously rereading it since I discovered it and there is still a chapter left to be posted. But if you want some excellent Batfamily feels PLUS absolutely GREAT original comics Young Justice shenanigans, this story is for you!

8. Bed sharing or roommates AU?

Bed sharing! I adore “there’s only one bed!” I mean, roommates has its place as well, but if I have to choose...

9. Fake dating or arranged marriage?

Fake dating! I LOVE fake dating. I like arranged marriages but I actually kind of prefer the marriage of convenience variant or the “I guess I’ll marry you since the person I want is taken/dead/doesn’t love me” and then they fall in love with the person they married variant (is that a variant? It is now, dammit!)

10. Mutual pining or enemies to friends to lovers?

Mutual pining! Have you met me? I am 100% about those dumbasses  who are bad at feelings and completely oblivious to each other’s desperate longing.

11. Kid fic or childhood friends?

Childhood friends! I am the prototypical BFF shipper! I mean, again, have you met me?

12. Friends with benefits or secret dating?

FWB that develops into feelings is so great. Secret dating is...I can enjoy it? But I also don’t necessarily love it if it requires the pairing lying to everyone who knows them. on the third hand, if it’s so secret even they don’t know they’re dating? I’m into that A LOT.

13. Exes or established relationship?

Both! I mean, if you put “established relationship separated for many years by tragic circumstances eventually reunites" that is kind of exes and established relationship right? And that is my jam! But I like both.

Based on these answers, I feel like BFF* who are mutually pining (and who maybe had a previously relationship that ended badly many years ago) and have to fake date and then discover there’s only one bed (I mean, if they’re dating why wouldn’t there be only one bed? Why is this a problem???) would be my IDEAL fic.

*Could be Sirius/Remus. Could be Steve/Bucky. Could be even be Danny/Rusty though I think pining is a harder sell with those two. Anyway, I think I’ve written that story a time or two. ;)

14. (For authors) Post a line of dialogue from one of your WIPs without context.

“You cannot live on muscle milk and grilled chicken alone.”

Compromised (Dick Grayson x Reader)

Request: Dick and the Reader have to go undercover as a married couple. While undercover someone decides to flirt and get a bit too handsy with the Reader causing Dick to get jealous and possessive Thank you very much for the request! I hope you enjoy it! (To be honeest, this imagine ended a different way than I originally planned (the note at the bottom explains), but I hope you like it anyway!) _____

You had just finished slipping on your shoes and finishing up your makeup when you looked at yourself in your mirror. You were dressed in a sleek black dress that hugged your body just right and black, knee high, healed boots to match. You took a deep breath, remembering Bruce’s words as he briefed you and Dick on tonight’s mission. “There is a large party going on in downtown Gotham tonight. Rumor has it, Black Mask will be there discussing the drug trade with a possible new partner. You two must go undercover as a married couple and try to find out who this new partner is.” Bruce said. You nodded, eyes locked on the computer. You tried to focus on your objective, but you found yourself getting excited, butterflies filing your stomach. You were going on an undercover with Dick Grayson. The love of your life, and best friend all wrapped up into one. As you walked down the stairs to th main foyer, Dick looked at you and felt his heart leap into his throat. You…you were so beautiful…he was head-over-heals for you! You were in a six year long relationship with Dick so far. The fact that you two were going on an undercover married couple made his stomach do flips. The topic of marriage had been floating around in his mind a lot lately, and now this mission was here. It was almost like Fate was condemning him to pop the question…his emotions were all churned up at the thought of this. “You are so fucking beautiful…” he murmured, looking at you up and down as the two of you linked arms. You smiled and let out a hearty laugh that sent shivers down his spine. God, he was whipped. “You don’t look too bad yourself,” you replied with a wink, walking out the front door, the car waiting for the two of you. He felt heat rise to his cheeks and he turned away so you couldn’t see. (You did in fact, see his face turn red.) You let out a quiet laugh as you two entered the car and drove off to your destination. - Downtown Gotham is certainly an….interesting place to be. You and the rest of the Batfamily often found yourselves there while on patrol. Now you guys were going in deep into it’s roots. You and Dick had gotten dropped off several streets away and walked there, arms linked. You both had comms in your ears and Alfred had eyes on the two of you from the Batcave in case something went wrong. The two of you walked into the party and were greeted with many important looking people. “Senators, Democratic and Republican reps for the Assembly, owners of big business, man this place is crawling with dollar signs hanging over their heads.“ You comment. “Although it doesn’t surprise me that one of these guys could be dealing with Black Mask.“ “Stay sharp, (Y/N). I’m going to scout around the place,” Dick murmured, squeezing your hand. You nod in reply. “See you soon dearest husband.” You say with a wink, then part ways with your lover. Dick felt heat rise to his cheeks again and crawl up his neck. He could almost hear your snicker as the two of you went your own paths. You always knew how to make him blush, which was surprising to many people. He was Dick Grayson. Nightwing. Level-headed, calm, and collected. However, you were the one thing that could make that all come crumbling down with just a glance. You made him weak at the knees, your vibrant aura was just so captivating… “You have quite the wife Master Dick,” Alfred said over the comm, keeping your ear piece out of the conversation. “She isn’t my wife!” He whispered. Not yet anyway… You had made your way across the room, shades still perched on your face. You were offered a glass of champagne by a waitress, which you politely declined and got a glass of water instead. You leaned against the wall of the place, sipping your water as you looked around for anything suspicious. You couldn’t see Dick from where you were standing, the crowd of guests blocking your view. You were about to ask him where he was through the comm when you felt someone stand next to you. “What’s a lovely looking lady such as yourself doing all alone here,” a deep voice asked. You turned and saw a man with loose brown hair and honey brown eyes to compliment it. He had a thick Spanish accent when he spoke to you and the going in his eyes indicated he was up to no good. “I’m just taking a step back from the party, I’m not a teenager anymore so partying can take it’s toll nowadays,” you respond casually. “A beautiful woman such as yourself shouldn’t be spending such a lovely evening by yourself,” he said, winking at you. Before you can even reply to that, he is already talking again. “Danilo Carrera. Most call me Danny.” “Pleasure to meet you.” “Oh believe me, the pleasure is all mine.” His eyes wandered up your figure and you restrained yourself from rolling your eyes. “What brings you here tonight?” “I’m just a girl, going out to a party to have a nice time. What about you?” You really did not want to make conversation with this ‘Danny’ character. However, he might lead you to something, so it’s worth a shot, you supposed. “I’m here doing business for a friend of mine,” he stated. You raised your eyebrows, and suddenly, Danny Carrera became interesting. “Oh? What kind of business?” You ask, voice becoming low and soft as you leaned a bit closer to him. “My friend and I own a business together. I’m here doing some business for our company. He had some other things to tend to, so I am here on behalf of the two of us.“ “What’s the name of your business? I have a few friends who are business men, but I’ve never heard of you, Danny.” “We aren’t an American business, which is why we aren’t that well known here, though that is why I am here today, to…negotiate with a powerful man here in the United States.” “Where is your business from?” You leaned closer to him, your (e/c) peaking out from the top of your sunglasses for just a moment before hiding again. You saw him lick his lips nervously. “Santa Prisca,” he replied. Your blood turned to ice but you didn’t let the shock show. This guy can’t be working with who I think…I’ve never heard of Bane knowing anyone names Danilo Carrera… You thought anxiously. Your mind was racing a mile a minute as you tried to figure out just who he was and how Bane knew him. But, everywhere you searched in your mind, came up a dead end. Dick always said you had a knack for the trouble to be drawn to you. You guessed he was right. “Is something the matter, hermosa?” Danny asks, snapping you out of your thoughts. “Oh! I’m fine, I was just thinking of how…scary of a place Santa Prisca is, with all the fighting and dangerous things that go on there.” You reply, regaining your cool. “Ah, yes. It is a very dangerous place, but we survive.” He replied. This guy was good at telling you things in such a roundabout way, though with your heavily known background knowledge, you could piece everything together. “Señorita, I have to ask. May I know your name? We have spoken to each other for a while and I realized I have yet to know it.” “My mother always told me not to give personal information away to a stranger,” you replied smoothly, a small smirk on your face. He busted out laughing, a sly smile going on his own face. He leaned closer to you and put a hand on your hip and leaned close to your ear. “It’ll be our little secret,” his whispered. You could feel his hot breath on you neck, and it took every ounce of self control not to push him away from you. “What’s in it for me?” You murmur back. “I don’t give secrets away for nothing.” You internally grimaced as his hand wandered down to your ass. “That’s not what I had in mind Danny.” “Shhh. It’ll be fine,” he said lowly. “How’s about we ditch this place and find a place to spend the night, eh?” Both his hands were now traveling up and down your body. You fought the urge to slap him into next week. How dare he touch you like this! However…you didn’t. You knew Bruce needed information on this. If you and Dick didn’t get information on this situation then he would have to send Jason in to get Intel. And you knew that Bruce really didn’t want to get Jay mixed up in this whole Black Mask shit again. This case was also connected to crime rates skyrocketing in Bludhaven, which you know is putting heavy amounts of stress on your beloved boyfriend.Grin an bear it (Y/N), you thought. Do it for the mission. From across the room Dick Grayson was about to go to tell you the information he had gathered when he realized the comms were jammed. Damn, someone is interfering with the signal He thought. Then, he saw this entire ordeal unfold.Or at least from when he saw some guy put his hands on his girl. He most certainly did not like that. (Y/N) (L/N) was his girl and he was seething at the sight of this man putting his grubby hands all over her. He knew, that you were tolerating it because this guy probably had some information you wanted to get out of him. However, the fact that he was touching you, put Dick in a state that was similar to when a bull sees red. Without even thinking, he stormed over, put his arm around your waist, and pulled you away from Danny. “Hey, what the fuck man?” Danny growled. “What the fuck is right! What are you doing with your hands on my wife?!” Dick roared. Danny narrowed his eyes at your lover and then looked at you, then back at him. “Wife?!” “Yes, asshole. This is my wife! And I look over to see you have your fucking hands all over her!!” Dick was mad. You wanted to slap some sense into him, for he compromised the mission. Everyone in the room was staring at the three of you now. “Calm down,” you say gently. “Calm down?! How am I supposed to be calm when this creep is feeling you up?” Dick snapped. “I was only talking with him to know what kind of business man he is.” You turn to Danny. “You see, my husband and I have our fingers dipped in the pie that is business as well. Once you told me you were a business man yourself, I wanted to know more about what you deal with to see if you were a possible candidate for a partnership. I apologize if I had mislead you into thinking it was flirting.” You quickly cover for yourself and your ‘husband.’ “If you wanted to talk business, you should have just said so hermosa.” Danny said, sending a wink your way. He clearly didn’t get the message you and Dick were sending. You know when something starts to go to shit, and all you think is ’fuck.’ Well, that’s what you were thinking once you saw Dick go and sock Danny right in the jaw for that last comment. And that’s what started the chaos. Dick and Danny were beating the shit out of each other on the floor of the place. This caused the drunk people there to fight as well, and soon enough, people were either fighting or running away. Trying to break up the fights just resulted in more fighting. You stayed out of them for the most part. Sipping your water to try and keep your cool. But, all of that changed when you saw Danny pull out a knife and give Dick a few good slashes before you stepped in. You slammed your glass down on a nearby table and tapped Danny on the shoulder. He turned around and you punched him straight in the nose, sending him stumbling backwards. He growled, cursing profanities at you in Spanish as he charged at you. You swiftly dodged and and disarmed him with ease. Knocking his ass to the ground, you send him a nasty glare. “Stay down, unless you want to see a few unwanted secrets I have that’ll make you go home crying to your Mama.“ You snarled, slamming the knife into the ground right next to his head. Danny’s eyes were wide and full of fear. You walk over Dick and grabbed his arm, pulling him along as the two of you got lost in the mess that this party turned into. You two swifly made your way to the car you guys had parked a few streets away. Getting Dick into the passenger seat, you then sat in the driver’s and instantly started heading towards the Batcave. The ride was mostly silent as you drove and as Dick bled all over the seats. His eyes were closed in pain and you took a deep breath, focusing on the road. You had pulled into the Batcave and the two of you got out of the car, Alfred instantly went yo help Dick and you made your way over to the Batcomputer were Bruce was sitting. From the looks of things, you assumed he just got back from patrol with Tim, Damian and Jason. The boys, you assumed, were upstairs. Bruce turned around and saw Dick getting patched up by Alfred and you with a semi-sour look on your face. Quickly, you explained everything that had happened tonight, giving Bruce all the information you got on Danilo Carrera. “We’ll discuss our next move in this matter later tonight,“ Bruce stated. You nodded and headed upstairs to shower. You brushed passed the boys on your way to your room, the three of them calling after you. You ignored them and closed and locked your door. You couldn’t believe Dick had compromised the mission like that! He never does anything like that…you supposed what Danny was doing to you really got to him. Sighing, you stripped of your dress and went to take a shower. - 45 minutes later, you came out of your bathroom dressed in sweatpants and a tank top, your hair damp. Your face was rid of the makeup and you honestly felt a lot more relaxed than when you first came home. You were about to relax on your bed with a book when you hear whispers outside your door. “Do you think she is still in the shower?” You heard Jason’s voice whisper. “Of course not Todd, the shower turned off several minutes ago.” “Shut up! She can probably hear us!” You frowned and walked over, opening the door to your room, only to have Tim, Damian and Jason tumble in. You narrowed your eyes and crossed your arms over your chest. “Ow! Todd, get off me! You are a lot heavier than you look!” Damian growled, struggling under Jason. “Shut up Demon Spawn! I’m trying to get up!” “Can’t breathe!” Tim croaked. “It’s not our fault you’re practically skin and bones, Drake!” “Nice of you to drop in boys,” you say sarcastically. They scrambled to their feet and began pointing blame on each other. “Alright!” You shout, ceasing their arguing. Tim hung his head in shame, Jason crossed his arms much like you and Damian just looked at you. “Why are you three eavesdropping on me?” “We wanted to know if you were okay…we heard about what happened on the mission.” Tim confessed. “Yes we heard about Grayson’s idiocy that ruined chances of getting further information,” Damian chimed in. “I’m alright guys, I appreciate you checking in on me.” You replied. “What happened to Dick out there?” Tim asked. You ushered the boys inside and the four of you sat on the floor. “I don’t know what was wrong with him. His emotions were all over the place and one thing led to another and it was a disaster,” you breathe out. “Do you know what caused him to act so…wildly?” Jason asked. “No, but he seemed to be deep in thought after Bruce explained the mission. I have no idea what was on his mind though.” There was silence before Alfred appeared at the door. “Miss (Y/N), and Master Jason. Master Bruce wishes to see you two in the Batcave,” the kind butler informed. You and Jason look at each other questioningly then back at Alfred, who just shrugged. The two of you got up, the two other brothers following close behind. - You and Jason entered the Batcave, Tim and Damian sneakily following. Bruce had a stern look on his face, and Dick was sitting in a chair near him, bandaged up. “(Y/N), with the information you gave me, I was able to dig up some dirt on Danilo Carrera and his relations to Bane. Apparently him and Black Mask were supposed to have a meeting to discuss shipments of the materials needed to make Kobra Venom. Mask is apparently now largely invested in the business as Bane tries to find new ways to make it stronger.“ “What are we going to do about it?” Dick piped up. Bruce turned at looked at him. “You aren’t doing anything about it. You’re injured. You have a fractured rib and deep lacerations.” Bruce said. He turned back to you and Jason. “You two will be handling the rest of this situation.” “What?!” Dick yelled, standing up. “I thought you said you didn’t want to get Jason involved with Black Mask again?“ “That was before I realized that your emotions become sporadic when out in the field with (Y/N). Until you can get them under control, I’m having Jason continue this mission with her.” Dick’s face contorted in an emotion that was mixed with anger and hurt. The words of Bruce and the reaction from Dick surprised everyone in the room. Usually, it was Jason who was stubborn and angry when Bruce made a decision like this, but in this case, it was Dick. Jason, next to you, was probably the most surprised in the room. There was a thick silence in the room before Dick scrunched his eyes up in frustration before making a beeline for the stairs. Once he was gone, you spoke up. “Did he say what was troubling him?” You ask. “He didn’t say a thing,” Bruce replied. You sigh and Jason puts a comforting hand on your shoulder. “I’m sure he’ll come around (N/N), he has been stressed out about Bludhaven.” “You, for once, have a point Todd,” Damian piped up. “But, Grayson has never acted like this much of a child. That’s usually your area of expertise.” Jason glared at his youngest brother. “Can it, Demon Spawn.” “Alright, there’s been enough arguing for tonight,” you snap. The two instantly stop bickering at your words and you sigh, turning back to Bruce. “When do we have our next mission regarding this case?” “You have a flight to an island near Santa Prisca tomorrow. From there, you’ll have to figure out your own means of transportation. This is strictly recon.Do not engage.” You and Jason nod, though you both know recon missions always end up in you guys engaging. - After discussing the events of tomorrow’s mission, you made your way back upstairs. Heading to Dick’s room, you knock softly on the door. “Miss (Y/N), Master Dick headed home to your shared apartment in Bludhaven. Would you like me to drive you?” Alfred stated. You crossed your arms over your chest, annoyed with your boyfriend’s bullheaded actions. “No thank you, Al. I think I’ll stay here tonight,” you reply. _____ there WILL be a part 2 to this! Thank you Anon, for the request! I hope you liked part 1 of this! I know that Dick was kind of out of character, but that’s what stress does to you. I read that asking someone to marry You/ getting married are big stressers in life. So, I decided that on top of that, the stress from the crime rate increasing in Bludhaven because of Bane and the drugs, and the jealousy that Danny caused, Dick would get quite stressed. Plus, we all know Bruce would sideline someone if they were acting irrationally in the field. I don’t know if any of you liked how this went. To be completely honest, I didn’t plan for this imagine to take the turn it did, but I had an idea that involved a part 2 and decided to go with it. (Originally, I was gonna have Dick propose to (Y/N) once getting back to the Batcave and she patched him up, but I had this idea instead.) I also have an idea for a Dick Grayson imagine series thing, that I will begin posting after Part 2 to this is posted, I am very excited about it! Well I hope you enjoyed! And thank you again for the request!

just think about it; newly ‘crowned’ Ghost Prince Danny! He kind of sort of OWNS the Infinite Realms or more like he was chosen to be her champion. So basically he’s a king AND a warlock? YES!

So like DC is a comic book in Danny’s world and obviously I’m making Danny trans..

My writing isn’t that good sorry!!! I tried my best!!! Please at least if you’re gonna give criticism give constructive criticism!

Danny Fenton would like to say while he is Ghost Prince(unwanted) he can too have a case of hero worship for a comic book superhero. That one being the Batfamily, he could name almost all their secret identities, vigilante names, weapons, and how old they were in the family. His favorite? Batman himself…

“You know Sammy,” Danny giggled slightly at the face the girl made at the nickname,” if there’s infinite doors and it’s the ‘Infinite Realms’…There should be other universes right?” He asked slightly, his molecules shaking so hard he was almost just a fuzzy blur of excitement.

“Sure,” she said, Danny frowned-too upset to even acknowledge her anymore.

“Sooo I could totally go to one of these and be in a comic book..?”

Tucker seemed to get the excitement, his seat on the Spector speeder was practically moving with his own excitement,” think of it though! What if you go in one and the amount of time between worlds changes!” He pondered, a full grin placed on his face,” DANNY! Go in a random one and tell us your findings!!!”

“YE-“ “No”

“Too bad Sammy,” and that was the story on how Daniel Neil Fenton got stuck in a portal.

——————

Listen if you told Danny he was going to come to a dimension where his favorite comic book superheroes are real he’d faint and call you a an absolute douchebag liar.

Now that he’s in Gotham, the dark gloomy sky devoid of stars, he’s regretting everything so far in his life and not learning how to make portals from Wulf.

So what does he do when stuck in a dimension he doesn’t exist in? Give gifts to his favorite heroes; the Batfamily!!!!!

———

“What.The.Fuck.”

“Red Hood, report.” Came his boss(father)’s growly voice. It grated on his ears and he cringed for saying that out loud.

“A kid,” he paused, he couldn’t breathe,” gift…?” He groaned out confusion. The child long gone, looking like prime adoption bait.

“A child gave YOU a gift?” Came Red Robin’s annoying voice. God he hated that guy.

“Yes…” he croaked, opening it again, grabbing the fucking finger-it was a familiar skin color and the green disgusting nail, blood rusted on the dismembered finger, it was real and he was sure if he did a DNA analysis it would be the man that haunted his very nightmares. Fuck.

“And.?”

“It’s uh. It’s a fucking finger..?” He said almost as a question, he turned the ‘gift’ over and grunted. Silence echoed in his com. “Whose finger..?” Dickiebird’s question was left on deaf ears.

“Going to cave. Now.”

——

Danny felt really happy! Red Hood(Jason Todd) seemed to like his gift!!! He didn’t even have to stay long before he heard a croaked ‘thanks’ though it almost sounded like he didn’t appreciate the gift. Which was stupid because the Jason he knew would fucking jump at the chance to have a piece of Joker to know harm came to the nightmare of a clown.

Danny liked when he held the clown’s waist between his legs, a sick grin that showed off his less than dull fangs. His fist raised and lowered onto the monster’s face, raise. Hit. Raise. Hit. Raise. Hit. It continued until the monster below him was a sobbing mess. It sparked something in Danny. He liked that. A lot. And so it made him better feeling when he pulled out a rusty piece of metal that he ripped apart with his teeth, a uncomfortable sob escaped the monster below him, Danny couldn’t stop what he did next. He knew Jason liked the monster’s finger. He had too. And Danny had plenty more where that came from.

“I think he’ll like Bobo the clown’s heart too.. Mhm!” He grinned, slowly floating up-closer to the crying monster he had tied up in the boy’s makeshift home. He ripped the gag off the monster’s mouth,” do you think he’d like your heart..?” The Joker shook his head ‘no’ rapidly, his eyes were closed shut with dirty tears smudging his makeup.

“Cool,” Danny smiled, his hand pushing into the monster’s chest,” I wonder if it’ll be as ugly as you?”

Joker is no more. Danny is happy.

Jason should be happy.

Batman will be happy.

Everyone will be thankful to Danny.

—-

The BatCave was silent as the results for who the finger belonged to. It was exactly who Jason thought it was, he couldn’t stop as his legs shook and dropped towards the cold cave floor. Shit. Fuck.

Should he be thankful to the kid or be terrified on how a prime adoption bait kid got his grubby hands onto a piece of the Clown Prince of Crime. Fuck.

“Jaylad….” “Fuck shut up Bruce,” he whispered out,” shut the fuck up. I need. I need to find this kid.” Bruce clicked his jaw closed, a firm frown was dancing on the man’s face.

Everyone looked uncomfortable.

Tim was no where to be found in the cave, the boy settling to go to his room. That was until Jason heard the tell tale sounds of skin slapping on the cold cave floor, Tim(the one kid Jason hated) was running towards the family a wrapped gifted jar with small robin’s on the wrapping paper.

“Was.In.Room,” he huffed, everyone’s head swilled towards the boy. The jar hastily wrapped, a yellow sticky note was attached to it.

Bruce was frowning as he was handed the jar.

The note, as Jason looked over the old man’s shoulder, Jason started to read out loud,” to my third favorite robin! I know you don’t like Ra’s Al Ghul but I thought you might like this trinket I got you!” Bruce ripped off the wrapping paper, a pair of green eyeballs stared back floating in a sickly fimilar green liquid and yet everyone could clearly see the eyeballs.

“What the fuck,” Dick breathed out,” what the absolute fuck is this.”

“His eyes.”

“NO DIP SHERLOCK!” Came Jason’s angered reply, he hated this. How did someone get past their defenses…? And so easily too,” wait,” he ripped the note out of Bruce’s gloved hands,” it says ‘from your biggest fan! Tell Jason i hope he loved his gift! How about a heart!” Jason’s heart stopped as he read the last word. He hated this. He hated this with a burning passion. Fuck. Shit.

DP x DC Idea or whatever

Danny who’s a massive fanboy of Batman (their universes are separate), so when he’s transported into the Batman comics he’s excited and decides to get the “characters” (Batman, Robin, Red Robin, Etc) gifts for whatever reason

thing is ghosts have very different idea of gifts… so Danny gifts them things that aren’t supposed to be gifts (Giving Joker’s severed finger to Jason, who’s doesn’t really care he’s just happy Joker got hurt, Ancient weapons to Damian, etc) and Danny believes it’s all normal

[absolutely-esme]

Tim, thinking that Bruce actually had adopted another while he was busy, immediately greets the new member of the family warmly without showing any of his surprise.  He will not make the new brother feel unwelcome!  He will not provoke another stabbing!  Most of all, he will not admit that he got so distracted and sleep deprived that he didn't even notice the new adoption happening!  (He would never live it down.)

Tim, naturally, assumes that Danny is involved with the nightlife because the only one to join the family through unrelated means was Dick.  Once they're in private,  he asks about Danny's hero name and if he wants to work a case together.

Danny just thinks they figured him out because they're the Bats.  Having had to figure out the hero thing with only a couple of other kids for support, Danny is overwhelmed by having a hero with training and access to resources kindly offer him support, and even willingly offer his own secret identity as a show of good faith.  It seems too good to be true, but he can't help but take the chance.

Danny gives vague descriptions of his circumstances.  He's not intentionally misleading but he's not the best at explaining things and he's operating on the assumption that Tim knows more than he does because he's Red Robin.

Tim is slowly growing more worried as he gains an incomplete view of Danny's situation.  His bio-parents wanted to "rip him apart molecule by molecule." (Makes sense that he wound up with B.  They couldn't leave him in that household.)  He gets shot (not just shot at but actually shot) on a regular basis but says it's fine because he's used to it.  He's been followed by an enemy and genuinely thought he was going to have to fend this foe off alone?!

At some point, Tim asks who's been training him because he has some concerns about the getting shot thing and the thinking he had to fight alone thing.

Danny explains that he's been figuring things out on his own.  It would have been nice to have a teacher, but it's fine.  He's already got one foot in the grave, so it's not as much of a risk for him as for someone with more life to lose.

Tim, utterly horrified, tells Danny very seriously that his life is worth just as much as anyone else's, however much or little he has left.

Danny, who hadn't realized until this very moment how much he needed to hear that, begins to cry.

Tim does his best to comfort his sobbing brother as revenge plans begin to form in his mind.

     In the Batfamily group chat-

Tim: who tf was supposed to be training Danny?!

Tim: who's ass am I kicking?!

Dick: lol

Tim: DON'T LOL ME I HAVE MY ARMS FULL OF TERMINALLY ILL SIBLING WHO GETS SHOT OFTEN ENOUGH TO BE USED TO IT AND HE'S CRYING BECAUSE APPARENTLY I'M THE FIRST TO TELL HIM THAT HIS MEDICAL CONDITION DOESN'T MAKE HIS LIFE LESS VALUABLE!  SOMEONE IS ANSWERING FOR THIS!

Jason: ?

Tim: *selfie style picture of an incandescently furious Tim Drake glaring into the camera as he holds another black-haired boy who is clinging to him and sobbing into his chest*

Tim: I’M NOT PLAYING AROUND!  THERE WILL BE A RECKONING!

Okay so we all know how Danny fits into the 'Wayne' look with dark hair and blue eyes. But hear me out. Bruce adopts kids too fast for the majority of the population to keep up so when citizens see Danny they just assume Bruce already adopted him and they just haven't checked the news yet.

Just Danny going to get a burger and the guy behind the counter goes, "on the house!" Danny doesn't question it and moves on. People just keep treating him with great respect thinking he's a Wayne and Danny is just oblivious.

At the end of his trip or whatever he explains how he has no idea why people complain about muggings and crime, everyone was just so nice there.

Not until like a week later at a fancy party a news person asks Bruce where his newest son Danny is and Bruce is just so fucking confused. He doesn't remember adopting a Danny, but he doesn't want to be wrong and look like a bad father for forgetting one of his kids so he panics and says he's in his room or some bs.

Later he realizes that he has adopted no Danny but now people think he did and he can't say "Oh I don't actually have a son Danny" after telling someone that he did have a Danny.

The news gets curious on why they don't ever see Danny. Bruce says that poor little Danny is camera shy and isn't ready to be in the spotlight yet. The rest of his kids are absolutely dying watching to see how far this lie takes Bruce and tell him it's his fault for not remembering his own kids.

[radiance1]

He probably can't call Wonder Woman a baby though, since she might be older than him because she's 5000 years old lawl-

Danny: Explains how humans can be contaminated with Ectoplasm and become a limnial.

Henry: We can what?

Danny, who was sure Henry knew this because he's liminal: You didn't know???

Henry: WAS I SUPPOSED TO!?

Danny: YES???

Henry is having a freakout about that bit of information lmao.

Lois Lane, meanwhile, is having a FIELD DAY with all of this new information. Granted, the apparent Ghost King invasion happened generations ago but still! The secret government branch, the GIW, suppressed the information on ghosts and their existence as a whole, then tried to repeatedly capture and contain the one sitting in front of them and held him locked up for years!

From his children no less!

There is just, so much, too much even, information to go through and Lois? She is LOVING it. This could be something that could change the course of her career! And also something that would drag the government through the mud from the sheer amount of public outrage that would happen as a result from her posting this.

But that doesn't really matter, now does it?

Danny is just oozing parental figure vibes while holding onto Henry and his army of blob children. Danny loves being filled in on what's he's missed, and this new League of Justice! He's getting giddy just thinking about fighting with them, much to Henry's complete and utter horror.

Then the rest of the Justice League pulls up because of this new unknown who could fight with Superman and whose goals are unknown. This could be a new threat, possibly the start of some world ending invasion (there's been more than enough of those for that conclusion to be one of the first on the table) or the rise of a villain who wished to conquer the world (again, more than enough of those for it to be on the table).

But, contrary to their expectations. The unknown is just sitting there, tailed wrapped around a civilian while his arms are occupied by multiple little green blobs while Superman is just, well, sitting there waving at them while Lois Lane rapid fires questions and notes them down just as quickly.

Batman (plus maybe the batfamily if they're there) makes the mistake of thinking that Phantom might be a creature from the pits, because the glowing green liquid sitting inside his stomach looks similar enough to it, and so do those blobs.

Constantine though?

Yea, Constantine instantly recognizes what Danny is. A ghost from the infinite Realms, a powerful one and hell, he might even be an important one too based on the crown. A powerful ghost from the infinite realms wouldn't much of a problem, but an important one? One that holds sway?

That would be a much bigger problem.

Lois Lane: So what exactly happened to the Ghost King for his invasion to stop?

Excuse me?

Henry: Well, no one really knows what caused his invasion to be cut short but-

When did the Ghost King invade-

Phantom: Oh yea, I sent him right back to sleep actually!

He did what-

Henry: You did what!?

Lois Lane: If the Ghost King ever invaded again, would you be able to stop him?

Phantom hems and hums for a moment, leaning right and left a bit in thought before opening his mouth: 50/50 chance, really. He's still got more raw power but yea, I could beat him.

Constantine thinks that he needs a drink.

inspired by this wonderful art made by @puppetmaster13u

So, Danny, cemented king and practically father of the Blob Ghosts and certified little shit.

Has found something new to play with.

For you see, despite his various kidnappings by the GIW Danny was never aware of there being a League of Earth's mightiest heroes at all. He off-handily mentioned them to Henry, who was now genuinely jobless because even though he never got told he knew he was jobless for helping Danny escape and Henry?

Henry did not want any part of this, he's just a civilian he doesn't want to meet the Justice League of all people!

Sadly, Danny did not care at all in the slightest.

Henry was then reminded of why Danny was valued by the GIW and why he also king class ghost entity (the only other known king class was the Ghost King who they barely have any information of). Because he easily, cleared the distance between Amity Park and Metropolis.

Henry, unfortunately, was not used to traveling at such speeds and was left hanging limply in Danny's arm as everything started spinning and thinking he might puke.

Danny, being the child that he is at heart, immediately starts calling out Superman's name. Superman, predictably and unsurprisingly, hears this and comes over questioning who was calling him.

Danny decides to be even more of a little shit by speaking in ghost speak even though just earlier he called out Superman's name in clear English. Henry, the de-facto translator, is out of commission right now so Superman is really just left guessing here.

Unless, you go with the fact that Kyrptonian is a dead language, and since Superman can speak and knows Kyrptonian, Danny's ghost speak is automatically translated to Kyrptonian.

Superman is, understandably, stumped by this occurrence and he may or may not form the idea that Danny might be a Kyrptonian.

Danny then gently places Henry down on the roof, pats him on the head, tells a few blob ghosts to keep an eye on their new littlest sibling while Dad has fun.

Then he turns to Superman, with the most feral, shit eating grin on his face. Cracks his knuckles, and then tells Superman that they're going to have a fight.

He wasn't asking, and before Superman could say anything he's already been punched through the air. Not that it hurt, really, mostly took him by surprise, but now Superman is now in a fight with what may or may not be a Kryptonian.

[goddess-of-graphite]

idk I think Dani’s stories about melting would probably count

and it’s not like everyone knows she’s a clone, right?? or that she was made half-dead. she could spin that into a cool story.

or she could do the thing where she never tells the same story of her “death” twice. How did she really die? You’ll never know! But that’s sort of half the fun, with her.

there’s gotta be ghosts who are better at telling their death stories, too. real drama types, y’know? All “I came into this world covered in blood, screaming, and I became a ghost much the same way”. Very poetic.

there are famous ghosts who are often asked the details of their deaths. conspiracy theories are validated or discarded on the word of those who actually experienced the events. there are so many people who died mysteriously or ambiguously, imagine being able to ask them about it.

wild.

Danny Phantom death ‘talks’

So like a popular trope I’ve seen is that talking about how you died is a HUGE no no for Ghosts, it’s this whole thing especially in crossovers. But really it’s the opposite. Desiree talks about her death easily, Ember’s death is the song she’s using to go famous, heck if we presume Boxy died from a job involving boxes, a popular fan theory, his whole thing is talking about the death that killed him.

So like, what if it’s the opposite. Ghosts are the ones MOST OK with talking about it. Like Danny will tell you, in agonizing detail how dying felt, every volt, every burned hair, every thought that raced through his head, but it just doesn’t bother him. Stubbing his toe last week is more traumatic than that.

You know it’s a coping thing, the ghosts aren’t hurt by being made. But that makes everyone ELSE feel like shit. I mean what living human wants to hear this literal child describe, essentially torture, as he died? To go to the crossover idea, do you really think Batman wants to hear this child that looks quite a bit like his own kids just tell him how absolutely awful dying was? Of course not, but as a ghost Danny can’t see why it’s a problem.
