Dan/Danny/Dani 2/5

Dan raising Ellie and Danny in Central City

Due to the GIW interfering and almost killing everyone, Danielle was destabilized and Danny was almost completely ended.

Dan, who had been doing community service with Clockwork, was now saddled with his younger self who was now a baby, and his younger self’s clone, who was now a toddler, both of whom had very little memories of before.

Due to Vlad and the GIW, being dicks, it wasn’t safe for Danny or Ellie to remain in Amity while the fighting was going on. So, clockwork decided that Dan, for the rest of his parole, was going to raise both halfas in the immortal world, since staying in the infinite realms was not good for them.

Thankfully, clockwork and Tucker created a fake identity. He was now Dante times, a single father of a girl named Eleanor and a boy named Danny. Clock work even lined up a job for him as a mechanic at a shop in Central city.

He even had a slightly odd friendship with a guy named Roy, a single dad who lived in Central City due to some problems with his father, and had an adorable little girl named Lian.(Ellie and Lian were best friends from the moment they met, and both girls doted on baby Danny.)

Wally hadn’t expected much when he found out Roy was living in Central city. It was a well-known fact that he had been feuding with Green Arrow for a while, and the Flash Family had agreed to let Roy hide out here. What he wasn’t expecting to see was the guy who Bart had warned them all about, the guy that had taken out all the heroes, including Batman, in his nightmare future, talking to Roy over coffee while a girl who looked exactly like him play dolls with Lian. He especially wasn’t expecting to see the man Bart described as a sadistic monster soothe a crying baby boy who looked almost exactly like him.

Wally got the feeling they would have to have a Flash Family meeting soon, and started debating on bringing Roy.

The tags mentioned assumed sa with Dan actually meaning that Vlad was once a part of him, he made him, and he hates that. But I'm going to add in that he also sort of likes it because I headcanon Vlad having an obsession about family and Dan likes feeling protective of his kids. This, of course, gets misinterpreted.

And then I make it worst by having Ellie refer to her wanting to be the perfect daughter but saying it like Vlad was grooming her. So uh, this is your warning.

Wally was texting Dick that if Wally didn't respond in the next hour, he'd call back up. Then, he heard the muffled sobs.

He froze for a moment outside Dan's door. Was it a good idea to knock? Probably, probably not. He could lockpick it or even just go through the door. His current clothes weren't made for that type of thing, but that didn't really matter right now.

Then he thought about why he could hear him so well.

He looked to the side, and just as he expected, a window was open.

He moved to stand beside it and started to really listen.

"-can't just not think about it, Jazz! I can't even- I hear him. I could hear him in my head, and I hate it. I hate it I hate it I hate it!"

Heavy, wet gasps of air fill the silence as the other person, Jazz, responds to that.

"No! No, I don't like- I never wanted that to happen, I-I wanted some form of reassurance! I wanted everything to be okay even if it was never going to be, so I asked him for help. I asked him, begged him and- and he had that voice, that voice, Jazz. That stupid fucking voice that somehow makes me shiver in fear but also relax."

Wally heard him let out a manic laugh. The words that Dan was saying were connecting dots. Dots he didn't even know existed. Dots he didn't want to exist.

"But he was nice..."

And Wally wanted to scream that no! No, he wasn't! Whoever that man was, he took advantage of you, Dan!

"I don't... I hate him. I hate his voice, but I love them. I love them like he did me. He went- it was a bad idea but I... I asked for it. That was my fault that I ended up this way. This was all my fault and I don't know if I hate that I'd do it all over again! I'd change a few thing, I would, but I'd go to him. I'd still go to him..."

Oh shit-

Dan was in love with his rapist. He blamed himself for getting raped. For having gone through that twice, possibly more times.

Wally's hand covered his mouth and his eyes teared up.

Fuck, he hated when he heard things like that. As a hero, he doesn't have to really go into it to help. The family and friends of the victim would seek it for them in his stead.

But this was Roy's friend. A friend that was becoming a friend to the Flashfam. They couldn't let him think this way. They could let him think he should go back to that bastard.

"Dad...?"

"Ellie! You're- you're supposed to be asleep."

"You're crying. Is- is it him again?"

"... It's nothing bad."

"He's always bad, though."

"He loved me, he loved you and-"

"But he hurt you."

"I asked him to."

"I thought I wanted it too."

Wally's eyes went wide.

"What?"

Dan didn't know. That gave Wally the slightest peace of mind, but he still felt sick to the stomach.

"Not- not like you. But I wanted him to like me. So I played dress up and did what he told me too. He didn't do anything like he did to you, but he still hurt me. Is it ok if I asked for it too? That I wanted it?"

Wally heard the chair scrape the floor and fall over. With a small peek, he saw Dan hugging Ellie tightly.

"No. No, it's not ok. It's never ok."

Wally decided to leave. He got more than enough intel to know what was going on with Dan.

No, he didn't know what happened to his family that made him evil in the future.

But he knew that he was sexually abused and that his daughter was too. He doesn't think that Ellie had lost her virginity. He really hopes he's right.

All that was enough for him to decide that they have to help Dan. No like he was before. Yes, they'll support him as a single dad, but they'll also help him get away from that monster. Ellie might’ve already got him to, but there's no guarantee that he wouldn't make a deal with the bastard if pushed to a corner.

Wally won't let him get to that point. And if Dan did get backed into a corner, then he'll make it so that Dan turns to Roy or any of the Flashes, even the Bats or Supers or- or whoever! He won't let him go back to that hellhole!

Wally stomped off, texting Dick that he was fine and went to the Flashfam group chat.
