#Then the Justice League caught on

[frownyalfred]

in the realm of like, rich kid problems, I want to someday read/write a fic where Nightwing is slowly establishing himself as a full-fledged JL member and everyone is relieved because finally, there's a nice Bat on the Watchtower who doesn't just shoot down their plans and deny their mission requests. but. while Nightwing is kind, and polite, and charming in all the ways the Bat isn't, he's still Dick Grayson. and Dick Grayson grew up as a very rich kid's suddenly very rich kid, which is to say while Bruce might not take it personally, Dick has been fending off people almost his entire life who were trying to use him for his Dad's money. which is to say, I think once Nightwing is on board and the relationship between him and Batman is at least somewhat well-known, there is suddenly a rush of younger, less-experienced members trying to take advantage of Nightwing, mistaking that kindness and openness for willingness to either voluntarily, or involuntarily, infringe upon and cross Batman's clear-cut boundaries. bribing Dick for a better monitor shift with Batman is one thing (it doesn't really work, Dick can't bribe Bruce with much as it is) but trying to convince Nightwing to lie to Batman? to go against him? his dad? the man who pulled him up when he had nothing and gave him meaning again? that man?? and then comes the inevitable, chilling realization, that while Nightwing might wear a different mask, might wear an open smile on the Watchtower and with friends off-shift, there are some lines he won't cross, same as Bruce. he won't, sure as the sun rises and the rot rolls off the Gotham Harbor in the morning.

Danny and billy are homeless besties. Living their best life. Tricking the JL into thinking they are both the adultiest adults.

Danny is backed by having evidence of being alive in the past. He obviously just doesn’t age. Billy just looks like an adult as Shazam.

Now. Danny swears it’s not his fault they got caught. He wasn’t expecting to get turned human. Honestly after the nasty burger explosion he didn’t think he’d be reported missing. Plus how does Batman know Vlad has a missing persons report on him.

Batman: *batglare*

Danny: i never said i was an adult. You guys assumed. I just didn’t say otherwise. Thank you very much.

Shazam: *avoiding eye contact with danny*

Superman: *disappointed look*

Danny: *looking everywhere but at Shazam* ha… well. At least I’m the… only kid.. the single one masquerading as an adult. All by myself….

Shazam very much not looking at anyone. Turned away looking very guilty.

Superman: *arms crossed looking at Shazam* Shazam

Billy knows he’s not getting out of this. Goes to his normal form begrudgingly glaring at Danny.

Billy: it’s not like we’re homeless or anything.

The reason Conner Kent and Tim Drake make such a cute couple is because Tim is a freak and Conner just vibes with it. Tim might be a whacko that occasionally dabbles in stalking, who also has a habit of going absolute batshit crazy when someone he loves dies, and who’s also missing a spleen—but he’s Conner’s whacko so it’s totally fine.

DPXDC Prompt #84

The GIW had been getting bolder lately and Danny didn’t like it. Turns out Danny’s gut feeling was right and he falls into a trap and gets caught by them. The GIW were ecstatic to have finally caught the ghost boy. They decided to brag about their accomplishment by posting an article about it. They kept Danny in captivity, turns out they weren’t dissecting ghosts but keeping them in a giant zoo. The Justice League finds the article the GIW posted and decides to raid this zoo after Constantine recognizes the ghost in the picture being the king of the infinite realms.

batman: so by splitting the work between former League members, Young Justice team, and current League members we were able to take down a good portion of the meta child trafficking ring and bring one of the leaders of the operation to justice.

wonder woman: but you lied in order to do that. do you feel bad that you had to lie. to do that.

batman (a vigilante): ,,? not. not really.

*Nightwing is publicly announced as the new Leader of the Justice League*

Deathstroke, barging into the Hall of Doom: *shoves Lex out of his seat at the head of the table* “Wow, I’d like to thank you all so much for this promotion.”

danny died bc he tripped and accidentally turned on the portal? actually that was the reaction waves of krypton finally dying reaching earth. the wave of kryptonite coincidentally gave danny his powers.

ghost form? thats actually his body's reaction to the sudden surge of power (which includes shape shifting). his phantom form is what he looks like as a "kryptonian".

he doesn't rly align w the other supers? thats bc each kryptonian family has their own source (aka core) for their powers. the s on superman's design means hope and prosperity, and is the symbol of the house of el. which is why kryptonite (formed by the death of their planet/ Disparity) weakens them

danny isn't from the house of El. his fam represented life/resilience, which is why he's weakened by blood blossoms, created by gruesome death. and also y danny can see the dead kryptonians and interact w them. (his house ruled over/ controlled the phantom zone???? maybe)

clark was ecstatic to find out that the yj's newest recruit was a kryptonian. danny was surprised when the scans/mandatory physical said he was actually an alien. bruce is happy for clark, but isn't happy to know that apparently kryptonite isn't an effective contingency plan. konner doesn't know how to feel abt his new team mate.

On the supervillain Danny au, can about Jazz and Dan? I would love to see the JL think they finally have the trio pinned down before a strange amazon and a god-damned demon storm in and start throwing people through walls.

Well, I just made this post about Jazz to answer another question, but I didn't think about Dan! However, I was going through my sketches, and I think this old one would be perfect for him. Dan's still a demon; he's just a little man now :) The JL Dark is terrified of him.

Curious to see where the next KTJL ep will take us. Would love to see the dynamic of having to work tgt and if it’s anything like the occasional comic team-up.

(Nightwing in JLA/Titans #2)

One of my favorite quotes ever! JLA/Titans does a great job at really getting to the core of the difference between the two organizations. To be a member of the JLA is something to be proud of. It's about putting the safety of the many, of the world first. To be a member of the Titans is to have a group of people who will love you and protect you, would do anything to save you, while also saving the world. It was a place for the kids and teens and disenfranchised to feel safe and cared for. No kid with a perfect life joins a cause like this, they're all escaping something and the Titans provides that safe space to escape to.

I love the JLA, this is in no way a bash on them. I think they're important, and when you factor in the Titans "team is family" mentality they cover a gaping hole the Titans would leave if they were the only team.

But this "the team is family and will protect each other no matter what" is a huge part of what makes the Titans MY team. It's not perfect, and it often causes more problems than it fixes. And sometimes, the bonds they have can be too much to overcome when faced with extreme loss (Graduation Day and the dissolution of the Titans), but they always come back to it. The ones who need that family, that connection will always be there when needed because the others would be there for them.

dp x dc prompt: "never ever let a fenton drive", or team phantom's dimension-hopping adventure

danny inherited the abysmal driving skills of his parents. the people in amity park are used to it though so this wouldn't be such a problem if he hadn't started learning to create portals recently, as seen when he opened a portal under his car while driving to avoid crashing into someone else while pursued by the GIW (sue him, it was a stressful situation). jazz is passed out right next to him, sam and tucker are screaming in the backseat while dani's cackling between them, adrenaline junkie that she is. the car is falling into the ghost zone and right out of another natural portal. they land right in front of a group of weirdos dressed in colourful costumes.

"... the only reason why i'm not killing you a second time is because this city looks super goth," says sam, waving the fenton thermos threateningly.

"there's nothing stopping me," mutters tucker, eyeing the costumed people warily.

danny squirms. "well, at least the GIW can't get us there?"

[frownyalfred]

is there anything funnier to me right now than the idea of Hal Jordan maliciously complying with Batman’s new anti-fraternization rule for the JL members stationed on the Watchtower (a rule that exists for very good reasons) by reporting Batman to Superman for getting it on spectacularly with someone in a Watchtower closet during monitor duty last week except 1) that person Batman was “fraternizing” with was, actually, Superman and 2) they weren’t fucking, they were just arguing in the closet so Barry didn’t overhear and get emotionally crushed again by witnessing two Founders not agreeing? nope. there isn’t.

A reveal gone right ends in tragedy.

Danny told his parents he was phantom They accepted him. The problem is Jack accidentally outed him.

Jack and Maddie got questions on why they stopped there hunting and threats to ghost. The two just do catch and releases as necessary as phantom does.

Jack just goes well we don’t want to hunt our son.

Amity Parker’s just accept it. To bad the GIW and government don’t.

This leads to jack and Maddie making a device to get their family out. Ellie is a member of the family at this time. They don’t want to flee into the ghost zone as three of the five are human. Rather they want to make a device that goes to a separate dimension and hope it’s better.

If not just dimension hop.

The Giw break through the defenses of the house right as they finished an experimental version.

Only the kids make it through. Jack and Maddie stayed behind to stop the Giw and get rid of the ghost portal. They didn’t want to leave the GIW with means to destroy a whole entire dimension full of beings who could feel and think.

The three kids end up in the dc dimensions.

The justice league is alerted to a dimensional hop via JLD? maybe. Or some system scanning looking for it.

[soullessjack]

the funniest thing about dc villains is they’ll either be evil capitalists with unethical experiment corporations, their employee who gets fucked over by their unethical experiments and just wants vengeance, normal crook who becomes an abnormal crook because they got hit with evil chemicals or Big Evil God Who Feeds On Death And Eats Children. incredible range.

Sometimes I think about how Minority Report predicted the PATRIOT ACT, being a movie that was made before, during and after the events of 9/11 and released a few months before the PATRIOT ACT was passed.
