Danny needs a Girlfriend Part 1
Title: Dani’s Quest for the Perfect Girlfriend
Dani Phantom had one mission.
Not saving the world. Not hunting ghosts. Not even causing chaos with her ever-growing collection of prank supplies.
No, this mission was far more important: Find Danny a girlfriend.
It wasn’t just because Danny was lonely, though he kinda was. Or because he deserved love, though he definitely did. No, it was because Dani knew her clone-big-brother was an idiot when it came to feelings, and if she didn’t step in, he’d end up married to his thermos.
First, she made a list of qualifications:
Pretty (because, duh)
Strong (to keep up with ghost fights)
Not a psycho (sorry, Vlad)
Not from Amity Park (because wow that dating pool was a radioactive mess)
Okay with half-dead weirdness (because Danny wasn’t exactly “alive” in the normal way)
Her first thought was Sam.
That lasted all of five minutes.
Dani watched from the shadows as Sam lectured a barista about ethical soy milk while also trying to make Danny feel guilty for not using his ghost powers to help with her causes. Then she saw Sam get mad that Danny didn’t want to sneak into a weapons facility for her "activist group." That was the moment Dani decided Sam was a certified hypocrite and maybe just liked Danny’s powers more than Danny himself.
Next came Valerie.
She was cool. Smart. Knew her way around a blaster. But then Dani snooped (for science!) and found the box of “breakup” memorabilia in Danny’s room. Old movie tickets. A crumpled apology note. And a picture of Danny with a black eye and Val scowling at him. Apparently, they'd tried, and it had ended in disaster. Dani put a big red X over Val's name.
And then she left Amity Park.
She visited Metropolis. Too many cape-chasers.
Central City? Too fast. Literally.
Jump City? The Titans were cool, but Dani saw the way Starfire looked at pretty much everyone. Dani was not about to throw her brother into that kind of mess.
City after city, Dani searched. Flew. Snooped. Asked uncomfortable questions. And everyone—everyone—failed her standards.
Until she got to Gotham.
It smelled like smoke and regret, but Dani liked it. It had that edge. The kind of place that birthed survivors.
And that’s where she saw her.
A girl—no, a vision—leaping across rooftops in absolute silence. Her movements were like water and lightning at the same time. She fought like a ballet made of punches. Dani was enthralled.
She followed her. Not in a creepy way. (Okay, maybe a little creepy.)
She watched as the girl took down three thugs twice her size without making a sound. Dani’s crush? Immediate.
Her respect? Solidified when she saw the Bat symbol on the girl’s gear.
She was Black Bat.
When Dani learned her name was Cassandra Cain, she had one thought:
Perfect.
Now, Dani wasn't great at subtlety. Or normal social cues. But she was great at confidence.
Which is how Cassandra found herself face to face with a grinning teenage ghost girl holding out a picture like it was a treasure map.
“Hi!” Dani chirped, floating slightly above the ground for dramatic effect. “My name’s Dani, and this is a picture of my brother, Danny.”
She held out the slightly crumpled snapshot of Danny in mid-battle, hair glowing white, green eyes fierce, with a cat clinging to his shoulder.
“You are a pretty perfect badass,” Dani said with utmost seriousness. “And I would like for you to date my brother.”
Cassandra blinked. Once.
Twice.
Then looked down at the picture.
Then up at Dani.
Then back at the picture.
“…He fights?” she asked, her voice soft, curious.
“Oh yeah. Half-ghost superhero. Kinda died once. Long story. Still figuring out the ‘normal life’ thing. But he’s loyal and kind and dumb in the ‘tries to save everyone and forgets he matters too’ kind of way. Also, he makes really good grilled cheese.”
Cassandra studied Dani for a moment, then took the picture.
“…I’ll think about it.”
Dani beamed.
That was practically a yes.
And for once in her weird, ghosty afterlife, Dani felt like a hero.

Well it worked....
Have you tried killing him yet???
It’s a running joke in all my dc x dp fics that either Danny or Ellie always suggest that conner should try killing clark to break the ice between them, but it would be hilarious if it actually worked.
So phantom is in the Justice league but they have no idea Spectre/ellie is his clone. It just never really came up so they think she’s actually his cousin.
So Ellie pops by mount Justice to mess with the protégés and is thrown off by superboy because she had no idea superman had a kid.
Things are a bit awkard until Robin introduces Ellie to Conner and explains that he’s actually Superman’s clone.
Ellie does not react the way any one would expect.
Something like:
“Nice! You should definitely bully him into helping you with a costume upgrade! The T-shirt and baggy pants are cool, but you could totally do better.” She said with a sharp grin.
Conner glared at the floating menace, “we aren’t exactly on speaking terms at the moment.” He spat out, ready to turn and leave when she spoke up again.
“Oh? Have you tried killing him yet? It does wonders breaking the tension!” She said, laying on her stomach in mid air like an annoying impression of the Cheshire Cat.
“What the hell!?!? I’m not some crazed lunatic! Why the hell would I try to kill superman!?!” Conner lashed out, held back by aqualad and m’gann
Ellie looked at him, confusion flashing across her face, “dude, you gotta try to kill him at least once, get it out of your system yknow?” She said, looking weirdly supportive. “Trust me, it does wonders establishing boundaries with your template.”
“And what the hell would you know about it??!!!” Conner yelled.
Ellie looked at him with a deadpan before turning to Robin, “wait, did you not tell him???”
“Tell him what?” Robin asked as he typed out a message to batman.
“That I’m a clone, duh!” They all froze, turning to Ellie like she just told them the world was flat but she just waved them off. “I mean, i get that it can be kinda awkward to bring up, but it feels like something you should have told him.”
She rolled her eyes. “Anyway, there’s a party in china I don’t wanna miss, so I’m gonna go,” she pointed at Conner “I’m serious though, you gotta try killing him, it really helps.”
Later after the team scrambles to get more info on Ellie and confirm she is in fact Phantoms clone…
Conner was only in Metropolis for 10 minutes before superman approached him.
“What are you doing here? You should be with the team.” He was ready to call batman to have him pick up superboy when Conner started rubbing the back of his neck and looked around nervously.
“I-uh-I’m here to try killing you.” He flinched at the glare Superman gave him. “Spectre said it was a good clone ice breaker, it I-uh, didn’t think it would be a good idea to try here so I was wondering if there was somewhere with less people around or-“
Conner just continues to ramble and Clark has to hold back a laugh at this awkward kid trying to work out the details of where and when he should try to kill him and Clark…
He finally realizes Conner is just a kid that’s just as confused and lost as he was with all this.

Glow stick Danny
Danny, Dani, and Conner were all hanging out in the Young Justice tower. Danny and Dani were new editions; only there for a month
Mom and dad had found out about his powers, and actually took them reallly well, even if they were horrified about what they said and planned about Phantom: being Live Vivisected does hurt, after all.
They urged Danny to join the young justice, even going as far as flagging Superman down, who was flying over their city, coming back from a trip, to convince him: Danny was embarrassed, and still can’t look him in the eye.
A few weeks later; Dani shows up, and it’s revealed that she’s Danny’s clone; essentially his daughter. Superman fought for her to stay away, but Danny is now bitter because of Superman’s words about clones and such, and said he will leave the team right there, right now if Dani gets removed or kicked out. So, Batman allows her to stay, and join the team in order to learn how to control her powers better.
And that’s where we are now.
Dani is regaling tales of when the two first met to Conner, who is fascinated and slightly jealous that the two have as good of a relationship as they do.
And then the power goes out. Dani sighs and turns to her template using her puppy eyes to get what she wants. Danny sighs and stands up, leans halfway backwards, all the way until his back pops and does a little bit of a shimmy before a bright green glow Emmits from his stomach
“Happy now?” He asks, amused and exsasperated. Dani thumbs up, sitting real close to
(I imagine Dani scared of the dark, because it looks similar to Vlad’s lab at night, and that brings her mind back to being in his clutches)
Conner Freaks.
“What?! Huh?! Danny what happened?? What did you do?!”
“I became a glow stick”/“he became a glow stick”
Conners eyes went wider than saucers; and suddenly the whole tower shook at his voice boomed “WHAT?!?”

Bruce has another kid........but this one is not adopted #2
Danny lounged on the couch in the Batcave, his feet propped up as he casually flipped through some of Bruce’s files. Damian stood nearby, arms crossed, scowling.
“It doesn’t matter,” Damian huffed. “I am Father’s heir. It is my birthright.”
Danny smirked, glancing at him over the top of the tablet. “Hate to break it to you, little bro, but I’m older. By all of three minutes, but hey, it still counts.”
“You have no proof,” Damian snapped, his voice sharp.
“Actually,” Tim interjected, walking in with a file in hand, “it’s right here. Clockwork dropped the records off yesterday. Danny’s technically the firstborn.”
Damian’s face twisted into a mix of shock and outrage. “This is preposterous! I trained for years in the League to be the heir. He—” Damian gestured at Danny, who was now grinning smugly, “��is a half-ghost nomad raised by peasants!”
“Whoa, peasants?” Danny said, holding up his hands. “I’ll have you know I was raised by two highly educated ghost hunters who built portals to alternate dimensions in their basement. So technically, I was raised by nerds.”
Jason, leaning against the wall, barked out a laugh. “This just keeps getting better.”
Things escalated when Danielle made her debut in Gotham. She’d been causing a bit of chaos in Amity Park, and Danny figured bringing her to the Manor might help her channel her energy.
When Dani strutted into the Batcave, grinning like a gremlin with her wild energy, the reactions were... mixed.
“She’s my clone,” Danny explained, his tone casual. “But I kinda see her more like a daughter.”
“Daughter?” Damian repeated, his voice low and dangerous. “You... have a daughter?”
Dani, ever the instigator, threw her arms around Danny’s waist. “Yup! My Dad’s the best!” she chirped, shooting a cheeky grin at Damian. “He’s way cooler than you, by the way.”
Damian bristled, his hands curling into fists. “You’re barely older than me, yet you have already claimed an heir?” His voice trembled with a mix of indignation and something close to panic.
Danny raised an eyebrow. “She’s not an ‘heir.’ She’s just... Dani. And technically, she’s my clone, not my biological kid. It’s complicated.”
But Damian was already lost in his own spiraling thoughts.
Late that night, Damian approached Jason. “Todd,” he said, his tone serious. “I require your assistance.”
Jason blinked. “Uh, with what?”
“I must find a suitable candidate to bear my child.”
Jason stared at him for a long moment before bursting into laughter. “You’re joking. Please tell me you’re joking.”
“I am not,” Damian replied, his expression unyielding. “If Daniel has already produced a successor, then I must act swiftly to secure my own lineage.”
Jason clutched his stomach, wheezing. “Oh, man, this is rich. Demon Spawn wants to have a baby just to one-up his ghost brother.”
“It is not a matter of one-upmanship,” Damian insisted, though the faint pink tinge in his cheeks said otherwise.
The next morning, Danny caught wind of Damian’s... ambition. He found his younger twin in the training room, furiously sparring with a practice dummy.
“Hey, Dames,” Danny said, leaning against the doorframe.
“Do not call me that,” Damian growled, landing a particularly vicious strike on the dummy.
Danny held up his hands. “Okay, okay. But I heard a little rumor. Something about you wanting to, uh, find a lady to have a kid with?”
Damian froze mid-strike, then turned to glare at Danny. “Who told you that?”
Danny smirked. “Doesn’t matter. Look, man, you don’t need to go all ‘League heir’ about this. Dani’s not my biological kid. She’s a clone. Like, literally made from my DNA. I didn’t exactly sign up for the whole ‘parent’ thing—it just kinda happened.”
Damian’s glare softened slightly, though his posture remained stiff. “And yet, you claim her as your own.”
“Yeah, because she’s family,” Danny said simply. “She needed someone, so I stepped up. That’s what family does.”
Damian lowered his gaze, his fists unclenching. “I see.”
A few weeks later, Talia’s clone assassins made their move. But instead of eliminating them, Damian captured and brought them to the Manor.
“Father,” he declared, standing proudly before Bruce, “I have decided to take responsibility for these clones. They are my family, and I will train them to uphold the legacy of the League.”
Bruce pinched the bridge of his nose. “Damian—”
“Not bad, kid,” Jason said, clapping him on the back. “But you might want to workshop the pitch. Sounds a little murder-y.”
Tim groaned. “Great. Now we have more mini-Damians running around.”
Danny, watching from the sidelines with Dani by his side, couldn’t help but laugh. “Guess I’m rubbing off on him.”
“You think he’s doing this to one-up you?” Dani asked.
“Absolutely,” Danny replied, grinning. “And I love it.”
While the Bat-family adjusted to the sudden influx of clones, Danny and Damian’s relationship began to shift. Though their rivalry remained, it was tempered by a growing mutual respect.
“I still do not approve of your cavalier attitude,” Damian said one night as they patrolled Gotham together.
“And I still think you need to loosen up,” Danny shot back.
Damian huffed but didn’t argue. Deep down, he was starting to appreciate having an older brother who wasn’t afraid to challenge him—or support him.
And for Danny, seeing his once-distant twin slowly open up was worth all the sibling squabbles in the world.

demon twin clones
Dc x Dp Prop fic starter
Ok like the demon twins au but both Damian and Danny are the clones of the original Damian and Danny. The original Danny died saving the both of them and simply disappeared, so Ra's tells Talia and Damian he sent Danyal on a secret mission
Couple years later after Danny makes his mark as Phantom and after Clone!Damian and him reconnect, Danny and Damian clones bring the slightly decayed corpse of Danyal to the Portal and switch it on to resurrect him. It worked! Slightly! He's back in his former glory, a bit taller even stronger to. But VERY mad. Not at Clones!Damian and Danny but at Ra's Al Ghul. Apparently Danyal had a very weak spirit and heard everything Ra's said about him.
Danyal:What? When? Ok ok. So new Family. Good. Ra's not dead but will be.
Dani: Ooo! True Template is fun. I like him.
Danyal: Little one is good. How did you?
Dan: Fruitloop Godfather. Man Jazz is going to have a field day on you.
Danyal: Who is?
Jazz who is on her third mental breakdown:*Breaking basement door open* SO YOU ARE OR HAVE HAD A TRAUMATIC CHILDHOOD?
Danyal: I like her, she definitely cares about the youth
Clone!Dami and Danny: You have no Idea

Phantom Family Outfits (click for clarity)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Can you believe that all of this started because I wanted to draw Jazz in shorts… orz
Extra notes:
+ In their Hero Fits, since Jazz couldn’t find herself a motorcycle-using, literature-loving, sweet-on-the-inside and cool-on-the-outside baddie (yet), she had to become one herself 😔 Her helmet is wolf-themed.
+ In their Career Fits, I really liked the post that talks about how Danny is kind of meant to be an artist amongst his scientific and mathematical family, and I really liked it (if I find it again, I’ll link it). Both Dan and Danny are inspired by that idea, but I believe that Danny would’ve been able to accomplish his dreams, while Dan would’ve found his calling in being an artist. However, it isn’t Dan’s only job and he takes on a whole bunch of side jobs that change everytime someone asks, so it always sounds fake lol
+ With the Summertime Fits, I genuinely lost years of life because men’s fashion is so boring.
+ In their Club Fits, the idea for both Dan and Danny was ‘slutty emo’, while Jazz and Dani’s was supposed to be a little more fun and casual (not sure if I really accomplished this).
+ With the Funeral Fits, Vlad purposefully faked his death to get money from insurance and tax fraud, but he also wanted attention from Maddie. After discovering this, the Phantom siblings crash his funeral >:)
+ With their Usual Fits, Dan and Jazz both usually wear formal wear. Danny wears a whole bunch of hoodies on the regular, while Dani wears clothes inspired by the sporty/clean girl aesthetic.

Bruce Wayne had a child that was somehow kidnapped right out of the hospital just hours after being born. He of them ever stopped looking despite how cold the trail had grown.
Years later there is some rouge attack and a civilian child was injured and taken to the hospital. Bruce does a DNA test on the blood found at the scene and concludes that the child is actually his long lost kid.
Dani was planning to sneak out of the hospital the moment the doctors stopped looking at her. Then Bruce Wayne of all people comes in and claims that she is his long lost child. She knows that this is very impossible because she is a clone, but Bruce won't listen to her and she really doesn't want to explain the clone thing to a "normal" stranger.
This does brings up a lot of questions about how Danny ended up living with the Fentons though.
#I think Selina is the best choice for a mom here purely because I think she and Dani would be amazing together#They would get on like a house on fire. Danny is more Bruce's son but Dani? Oh she is very much Selina's daughter. You feel me?#For this plot to work either Danny or Dani needs to be trans because Bruce would notice if his missing kid is a different sex#I have no real preference which but if we make Dani the trans one we can explain why she is so short for her age (puberty blockers)#Damian is gender affirming for Dani by telling her that he is “still the only blood son.” Dani holding back tears “Thanks bro.”#Danny would be older than Damian. But Dani isn't Danny and thus isn't as old as Bruce thinks she is. She and Damian are the same age (kinda#BUT she is oh so willing to lie and accept this fake age PURELY so she can be “older” than Damian. which pisses him off#when the truth comes out he absolutely abuses the fact that he is actually the older one to be a little shit#Dani keeps trying to run away but even with her powers she somehow keeps getting caught and dragged back#The bats are trying so hard to figure out where Dani has been all this time but she refuses to give straight answers#How DID Danny end up with the Fentons? IDK but I think the LOA is involved somehow#How does Danny feel about this realization? I am not sure about that either. I think at first he wants not part in a rich guy's life#Maybe he changes his mind later. It depends on how good you want the fentons to be as parents i guess#bruce wayne#batman#batfam#danny phantom#dc comics#dc x dp#dc x dp crossover#dc#dpxdc#dp x dc crossover#dp x dc prompt#dp x dc au#dp#dani phantom#my post#dose this one exist yet? There are so many bio kind Danny fics but not enough with Dani interacting with the bat fam

A Christmas Carol AU
Inspired by a prompt found in the @haunting-heroes-creative-games :) (i.e. back on my shit again)
When a 15 year old Jason, pissed at Bruce for taking Robin away from him, finds his birth certificate he realizes Catherine Todd is not his real mother.
Just as he resolves to go out and search for his birth mother, Jason finds himself accosted by three ghosts in his room, talking about A Christmas Carol of all things.
===
"So, what? We're gonna Christmas Carol him?"
Dan scoffs, crossing his bulky arms with an unimpressed look. "We hated that movie."
"I didn't." Dani chirps, disturbingly cheery, "I didn't see it!"
"We hate Christmas," Danny corrects, "But the movie was alright, and the logic is sound."
"I don't hate Christmas," Dani once again interjects cheerily, "I've never participated!"
"Sound my ass," Dan growls over her, throwing his hands up. "We don't even know this guy!"
"Minor detail." Danny insists, "Tuck can look him up."
"He's a fucking Bat, Danny." Dan scrunches up his face, pinching the bridge of his nose just like Vlad does when he's disgruntled with any of Dad's shenanigans.
"He's a Robin, actually." Dani pipes in, "And he's just a kid. How hard is it gonna be to pretend to be this kid's Ghosts?"
"You're a kid," Dan reminds her, crossing his arms, "And you didn't believe me when I told you sticking a fork in the outlet would shock you."
"I believed you," Dani sniffs haughtily, crossing her arms and pointing her nose up with a snooty voice, "The warning simply did not deter me from doing it anyway."
"We don't have to convince him we're his Ghosts, or even that we knew him before," Danny reasons, needling, "We just have to convince him that we're…"
He hums, pointing at Dani. "Past."
He points at himself, "Present."
He points at Dan, "Future."
Dani does a little cheer, arms up and twirling into the air before landing with her legs over Dan's shoulders, hands and head settling atop Dan's fiery, but harmless, hair. It flickers, before going limp into long white strands that Dani messes up by gently scrunching up the strands and running her fingers through them.
Dan lets her, huffing and looking weirdly like a downtrodden, wet cat. "Why am I future?"
"Because." Danny doesn't continue, because he knows it makes Dan annoyed. True to form, his scowl gets worse, like sucking on a lemon. They all know why anyway.
Dani grins, triumphant and knowing, letting her voice go real deep, "The future," she intones into Dan's hair, "is here."
"The future is now," Danny corrects her, but doesn't lose his smile, floating up to tuck a strand of her hair back behind her ear.
"The future is already here," Dan mumbles his correction, or is it a follow-up? "It's just not evenly distributed."
"How about you distribute some of those muscles, Gibson," Danny sighs, shaking his head "Waiting for puberty is such a drag, and we both know you didn't get the mass from Vlad's side of the family."
Dan makes a moue of disgust, but it serves him right. The consequences of his own actions, and whatnot. He looks up at Dani, who simply shrugs. "I think you'll do great." She leans down to give him two pats on the arm.
"So how's acting out A Christmas Carol gonna help us stop this Jason guy from blowing up?" Dani fiddles with Dan's hair, tongue poking out as she attempts a braid, "Will he even see us? Ghosts in this dimension taste funny."
"He'll be able to see us, it's magically rich enough for some ghosts to maintain a semblance of themselves," Danny explains for the third time. Dani and Dan hum at different pitches, and even though Danny is the common denominator he kind of hates that Vlad has more of a lasting impression on them. "The ectoplasm here is scarce and mostly corrupted, though, so it's rare."
"So there's lotsa bad ghosts here?" Dani eyes the messy braid she's made, proud, even as Dan's silky hair immediately causes it to fall apart, "Or 'mentally unsound' or whatever Frostbite called it."
"No," Dan grumbles, annoyed and indulging all at once, "Corruption begets ecto-rot, but the scarcity means they're not strong enough to actually retain their sense of self enough to rot."
"Shades," Danny explains when Dani looks even more confused, "There's lots of shades."
"Is this one of the Olympian dimensions?" Dani groans, flopping over Dan's shoulder as he sits down on the sofa, "I love Pandora and all, but if I see Zeus again I'm gonna lose it."
"It's one of the hero dimensions," Danny hums, taking over braiding Dan's hair the way Jazz made him when they were little, "There's a couple of Amazons walking about, but on the whole no Olympians."
"I don't know why he didn't just dump me in a Norse dimension." Dan leans back and closes his eyes to their ministrations. "Especially with my current occupation."
The three of them are sitting in Dan's apartment, a large loft studio located somewhere in the UK of the aforementioned hero-dimension. Alber-something, Danny can't remember. Doesn't need to, it being a different dimension from his anyway.
Dan doesn't have a lot of things: a sofa and TV, a bed in the corner, a decent but small kitchen. They're still trying to figure out decorations, but Dan on the whole is a minimalist so it's been slow going.
He's working as a bartender these nights, whiling away his odd existence now that his form has stabilized.
And wasn't that a trip? Learning that hey, adult lightning halfas shouldn't really be mixed with teenage ice halfas, actually!
Apparently, ectoplasm can become corrupted if you try to combine incompatible sources.
Apparently, side effects include (but are not limited to) unmitigated violence and a devastating need for vengeance.
Sound familiar?
"This dimension has a lot of time continuity errors," Danny reminds him, "Dropping you here gave the least amount of pushback."
"Yeah, yeah," Dan flaps a lazy hand, "Praise be the speedforce and flashpoints and whatnot."
"Plus," Dani adds softly, absent-minded as she watches Danny finish up the braid, "Lotsa heroes to help out if you relapse."
Dan heaves a slow, controlled sigh. Danny and Dani both pretend they don't notice.
"Is it bad?" Dan doesn't open his eyes, his voice is so low Danny can only hear him by virtue of his ghost powers, "Like me levels bad?"
"No." Danny shakes his head, leaning into his older self, his older brother of sorts, "He decapitated eight crime lords, killed a couple of assassins, maybe an innocent or two depending on your definition of things."
"Past tense?" Dan scrunches his nose. They all hate how confusing Time Shenanigans are.
"He's living as Red Hood, right this very moment."
"Red Hood?" Dani questions, "That his hero name?"
"Crime lord alias." Danny corrects her, "But he's more of a vigilante these days. Has a bat on his chest and everything."
"But it's bad enough to warrant a trip to the past." Dan points out, "Bad enough for us to try and persuade him. Does he relapse?"
"Not…exactly." Danny scrunches his face, not wanting to explain Clockwork's ambiguity.
Dani floats to spread over Danny and Dan's laps, sprawling out and purring like a cat. Self-soothing, though it's more for their benefit than hers.
"Like Dani said, there’re lots of heroes here, and he doesn't have powers." Danny continues, petting at Dani's soft hair, "The world doesn't end. He doesn't have the means to, even with the ecto-rot."
Danny pauses, and chooses his words deliberately and carefully. "And deep down, Jason Todd is a hero through and through. Relapse would be…difficult. His Obsession is similar to yours."
Dan lets that sit for a moment, but nods, Danny moving a little with the motion. The tension slowly bleeds out as they wait like that, enjoying each other's company.
"If the world doesn't end," Dani whispers, "Why is Clockwork sending all of us?"
Danny thinks on that, on his meeting with Clockwork. The Ancient's voice when he explained what would happen.
He thinks about Jason Todd, about Bruce Wayne, and Catherine, and Sheila. He thinks about Batman, and Robin.
He thinks about Dick Grayson and Tim Drake, about Damian Al Ghul, about Cassandra Cain, and all of Jason's Outlaws.
He thinks about a tattered uniform that stays up in a glass case for a long, long time.
Most of all, he thinks about Dan.
He thinks about regrets and one bad day away.
And then he stops thinking about it, because sometimes the past is the past, and other times, it's the future that never happens that haunts you instead.
"You know, Dani." He settles on, "I'm not sure. He probably has his reasons."
Dan leans heavier onto him, and they lean together like that, with Dani in their laps.
Ghosts of decisions made, unmade, and never to be.

DPXDC Crack? # 1- RUN FLASH RUN!!!
I just need this idea living rent-free in my head OUT! Last thing Barry remembered was drifting to the time stream. But now? He was standing on the sidewalk with a smoothie. Mango, no bad. Until a sense of dread looms over as he sees a gray and green RV hauling ass straight for him. Dan *Swaying in the passenger seat*: Driving in my car right after a beer? Dani sticks her head out the window and points at Barry: Hey, that guy looks shaped like a deer! Antlers are suddenly on Barry as he decides its a good time to book it and ask questions later. Somehow this hunk of metal is still on him and GAINING! Danny on 2 hours of sleep as his crown flares above and all the halfas have glowing green eyes and wolf ears: DUI? How about you DIE?!
Barry body goes into free fall as the floor crumbles from under him. He hears them all. "I'll go a hundred miiiiiilesssss an hour!"
And he wakes up in the JL's medical ward.

DpxDc Prompt idea(on a high from watching dragontwin clips):
SO the whole shabang is that, it was a bad reveal, bad fenton parents(tm), Jazz(20, her birthday is before Danny's I hc, she also became immortal cause I love her too much to let her die) managed to get Danny(17), Ellie(15 in physical years, 3 in actual), and Dan(17 in physical, 27 in actual) escape via portal, destroying the portal in the process so no one would follow, including the blue prints.
they end up in a somewhat medieval times of the dc universe(not an au, just medieval at the moment of time), and Danny is the only one of the three Phantoms to have learned shapeshifting(maybe Dan has the ability to he just can't to large beasts or only subjected to humanoid things), and Ellie begs (read as: demands) for Danny to become a dragon so they can overtake one of the corrupt kingdoms, Jazz takes one look at the kingdom and sees how fucked up it is and just lets the three insane gremlins have at it.
Danny shifts into a giant ass dragon, and Dan, Ellie, and Jazz go and take over the kingdom(no one knows what happened to the orignal rulers and are too scared to ask), and Danny would speak in ghostspeak to Dan and Ellie(Jazz sometimes too), making the citizens think they have an unbreakable bond to the dragon that has been named "Phantom" of course, but Danny does go by other names while in dragon form.
Through the years they grow a vast kingdom feared by many and all.
They would live in this world for a couple of centuries(or less) and soon leave "mysteriously" (Clockwork had notified them that they now have a permanent home in the infinite Realms.).
So after a bit in the infinite realms they decided to revisit the place they called home when their orignal one rejected them.
They see museums built to house their treasures and even some of Danny's scales, and claws!
But what angered them is that Lex Luthor proudly displayed the two horns that Danny shed(like a deer) like his family long ago defeated the giant beast.
And they get a little note from Clocky saying
"I believe they need a reminder who was once the ruler of all... Don't kill anyone young heirs" -CW
They look to Jazz who looked easily as pissed. And she smiled in approval.
.=.=.=.=.=.=.
The Justice League. Had no idea what was happening.
It started in the museum of [Whatever their kingdom name was], the stolen artifacts were of the royal advisor's(Jazz) necklace, the Queen's(Ellie) staff/scepter and crown, the Queens loyal Knight's(Dan) armour and sword, and the giant spear they used to control their dragon (Danny) while in flight (the spear wasn't actually stabbed into his back, just made intangible which felt like a small tickle to Danny)
all artifacts were heavily gaurded from the amount of magic they had imbedded. Constantine even said that a ritual could be preformed to revive them, even their dragon, that oh so many feared.
The last thing the theifs needed were the horns of the Dragon, Phantom.
which, the theif was found by the Justice League mid-Heist, who was a young, teenage girl who eerily resembled the young Queen, even holding her scepter and wearing the crown, both looking brand new.
Lex Luther was less than happy to see the horns of the dragon in the "theif"s hands, demanding the horns back.
The girl only responding with a smile, dropping the horns on the ground, using the scepter to smash them apart and yelled, "RISE MY DRAGON! FOR WE WILL RULE ONCE AGAIN!"
And Danny, being dramatic as ever. Used Intangibility as he shifted into his dragon form and fly out from the ground, Ellie grabbing onto one of his spines as they dramatically exited where the now shattered horns were being kept.
-das it, that's the prompt, anyone continue it.-

DCXDP fic idea: through some wacky and probably at least mildly traumatic chain of events, Jason Todd aka the Gotham Crime Lord Red Hood ends up adopting Dani. Long story short she figures out he's also a Halfa but is infected with contaminated ecto.
They go to Frostbite to get him healed and after their first appointment Dani very reluctantly has to come clean about the rest of her family and that he's kinda sorta maybe ghost royalty now? Jason decides to table anymore about that until his emotions are at a normal level.
Once he's all healed up and now has powers and they pick up their conversation again and Dani gets to the part where Danny would really rather not be king Jason gets a devious idea that Dani is entirely on board for.
He shall play the role of an evil uncle trying to usurp the throne in public complete with all the staple evil laughs and mischievous hand gestures.
Can literally anyone tell it's an act because he isn't even attempting to hide how much fun he's having? Yes sure but everyone decides to just let Jason have his fun and bring a little joy to the young High King. Granted Danny isn't too happy that he's dating his sister (Dani is ecstatic tho) but besides that he's having a blast and everyone is happy.
Until Jason accidentally usurps the throne because they forgot to declare that their spar was a spar and the Zone decided that it was good enough to count as a serious enough fight.
And that's how Jazz and Dani find them just before dinner, Danny still doing flips in the air laughing his ass off while Jason stares off into the middle distance and occasionally glances at the Ring or Crown that have taken up residence on his finger and head respectively.

Danny Needs a Girlfriend Part 2
Dani floated away from that rooftop like she had just won the paranormal lottery.
Cassandra Cain had taken the picture.
Which meant there was now a non-zero chance that Dani’s ghosty dork of a brother would finally stop moping around and maybe—just maybe—find someone who could appreciate his weird, self-sacrificing, half-dead nonsense without demanding he be more, or less, or someone else entirely.
Her job wasn’t done, though. No, no. This was just Phase One: Introduction.
Meanwhile, back in Amity Park, Danny Phantom was being tackled through a wall by a sludge ghost named Goopinator Maximus (self-named, and tragically so). He blasted the ghost into a containment ring with an exhausted grunt and muttered, “I am way too single for this.”
Then his phone buzzed.
[1 New Message from: Dani 👻💅]
“So hypothetically… if a gorgeous martial arts goddess maybe saw a picture of you and didn’t immediately laugh, would you be mad at me?”
Danny stared. Blinked.
Then typed back:
“Dani, what did you do.”
Back in Gotham, Cass stared at the photo Dani had given her.
Danny, midair, holding a glowing thermos in one hand, his white hair wild and crackling with energy. He looked like a ghost and a star and a total goofball all at once.
There was something in his eyes, though—fierce, tired, good.
Cassandra didn’t trust people easily. Words were hard, and intentions even harder. But she could read bodies, and that picture told her a story.
A protector. A fighter. Someone who carried too much but stood tall anyway.
She slipped the photo into her coat and went on with her patrol, but her thoughts kept drifting back.
Two days later, Danny was hovering outside FentonWorks with a half-eaten burger when a shadow dropped silently onto the roof beside him.
He whirled. “Who—?”
Then paused.
“Wait. Are you… Black Bat?!”
Cass gave a small nod.
Danny blinked. “Did Gotham explode? Are you here to fight someone? Wait, is Batman here?!”
Cass said nothing.
Instead, she reached into her coat pocket and pulled out a slightly bent photo.
Danny recognized it instantly.
“…Oh no,” he muttered. “She didn’t.”
Cass tilted her head. “You’re real?”
“Uh. Yeah. Mostly,” Danny said, scratching the back of his neck. “I mean, I died once. Technically twice. But I got better?”
A pause.
Then Cass gave him the tiniest smile. “You make grilled cheese?”
Danny stared at her for a second. Then let out a bewildered, incredulous laugh.
“I do. It’s kind of a specialty.”
“Good,” she said, and sat cross-legged on the roof like it was the most normal thing in the world.
Danny hovered awkwardly for a second, then sat down beside her.
“…You wanna talk about how you met my sister?”
Cass shook her head.
“Fair.”
Another pause.
Danny offered her the other half of his burger.
She took it.
From the shadows below, Dani grinned.
Phase Two: Initiate Soft Boy Vibes. Commencing Operation: Ghost Bat Romance.
She could already smell wedding cake.

There’s a child wandering the streets of Crime Alley. Unfortunately, this is nothing new for the area, riddled with crime and homelessness as it is. However, Red Hood and Nightwing are vigilantes and helping lost looking children is firmly in their job description. Plus, Crime Alley is Red Hood’s. He protects what’s his. With a single shared look, the brothers swung down to the child clad in just a white dress and some thin flats completely unsuitable for Gotham’s worsening weather. Hell it’s be unsuitable for the general poor weather.
“Hey, kiddo.”
The girl’s head swung to lock gazes with the duo, eyes blinking blue- and green? Red Hood allowed his brother- he worked so hard to beat down the pit madness in order for Nightwing to even remain near- to take the lead.
“Oh. There you are.” She said, turning to face them fully. The kid’s face filled with relief.
Nightwing blinked.
“You were looking for us?” His soft voice saved for children firmed into something more serious, more concerned.
“Mmhm. I was looking for Red Hood, but you’re a good bonus.”
“And why were you looking for me, kid?” Red Hood interjects. He knows Dickolas is clocking the same things he is: the kid’s white whispy hair, pale face, and… Lazarus green eyes? It’s more solid now, that she’s looking at Jason.
Dick straightened, eyes going heavy as he looks at this wisp of a girl. He’s fiercely protective of Jason and they’re both equally wary of the League of Assassins. Still, the two of them couldn’t help but let their guard down a bit because this was still a child they’re talking to.
“Because… um. Did you know you’ve died?”
Hood stiffened, hand going towards his guns. Granted, they’re rubber bullets, but the kid clocks that immediately. She threw her hands up in the universal gesture of “I’m unarmed and mean no harm.”
“I- well, to put it frankly, you kind of… stink?”
“What.”
“Ugh, I’m totally messing this up!”
“Why don’t you start again?” Dick said, shifting into a subtler fighting stance. He kept his voice light, but Jason saw the way his hands inched towards the scrims sticks. Distantly, Jason thought it was hilarious that this tiny kid could evoke that kind of response. Looking into Lazarus green eyes though, he couldn’t find the humor anywhere. The worst thing, though, is that the pit quieted. The rage the bubbled incessantly underneath his skin calmed. Jason did not like feeling bereft of the rage, not when he didn’t know why it was gone. He had just gained control of it, minimally, and to have that control be unnecessary left the vigilantes off kilter.
“Right, okay, sorry. Um, did you, uh, die and wake up surrounded by glowing green stuff?”
Before Jason could reply ‘yes, and why the hell do you know that?’, the kid continued with, “Because me too!”
She did jazz hands as Jason’s and Dick’s brains short circuited. Jason thought he even heard a little “yay!”
“What.” Jason sputtered out. His stomach and heart clenched as he thought about how young the kid looked. Fuck.
“Yeah. So, anyways-”
“Don’t speed past that like you didn’t say what you just said!” Dick interrupted, hand tugging at his hair in distress. His body language slipped from battle ready to extremely distressed. “You died?”
“You were- you were dipped in the Lazarus pits?!” Jason felt the need to address that specific point.
“I mean, it’s not that important? The important thing is- wait, what’s a Lazarus pit?”
Jason froze again. She didn’t know what they were?
“It’s… the glowing green stuff.” Dick answered her.
“Oh. Is that what you were dipped in?” She tilted her head at Jason. He nodded, wariness climbing. “Oh. Well, I mean, that’s not we call it. But the stuff you were dipped in, it’s rank. Contaminated.”
Jason thinks back to the burning, drowning green. The agony he felt as it slipped into his mouth and nose and his very being.
“It was bubbling.” He said. The girl grimaced. Jason had no idea why he was being so honest with this kid.
“Gross. Anyways, I can, like, help you with that?”
“With what?” Dick asked, eyes darting from the girl to Jason.
The girl groaned. “Okay, so I guess you guys are kind of new. Uh, the contaminated green stuff,” she points at Jason’s chest. “That’s making you angry, right? Leaving you in the backseat of your head as your body breaks whatever got you angry to begin with and you have no control over it?”
“…The pit madness.” Jason mumbled, feeling numb. “Yeah.”
“…Right. I can help you clear that out,” she pauses, fidgeting. “If… If you help me talk to Batman? It’s kind of… urgent.”
“Batman?”
“Why?”
“Uh. There’s kind of… a whole mad scientist thing going on and like… experimentation and dissections… you know?” The kid waved her arms around, distressed.
Dick and Jason unfortunately did know.
“Cave?” Jason grumbled.
“Cave.”
“Okay, we’ll bring you to the cave. Then you tell us everything.”
“Really?”
She looked up at them hopefully, and Jason could see the moment Dickolas melted. Not that Jason could say anything, since he was already taking off his jacket and bundling the kid in it.
“Um.”
“Who the hell let you walk around Gotham like that?” He scowled down at her, not that she could see it with the red helmet in the way. Dick looked at him carefully, eyes roving over the oddly relaxed state his little wing was in.
The kid shrugged. Jason sighs.
“What’s your name?” Dick asked. Scooping her up, the blue and black clad raised his free arm to grapple away. Jason follows him, heading towards the motorcycles they’ve got parked nearby.
“Dani. With an I.”
“Nice to meet you, Dani. I’m Nightwing. This is my… this is Red Hood.”
“Okay. Cool.”

Danny, after seing his parents just- go away to hunt a ghost, when he is rught here in so much pain that even the universe was traing to confort him, thanks to his dead day.
"Good to know I was never a priority" was the only sound he left out before leting himsdlf fall in Norune embrance.
Hope is a fragil thing.
A powerful but fragil thing, and in times like this? Is a posion that can and will be killing you from bits to bits.
Nocturne knew when a dream become the fisical call of help for a mind. And right now, one of the cosmic trads of Dream Energy had CRIED, BEGED, for help so loud rhat he was sure all the realms could fell it.
He followed it, just to come with the catatonic state of one Danny Phantom that was swatching the door of the Fentos house.
"... good to know i was never thyr priority- hey Nocturne?- you can have me. Just- let me dream about my parents really loving me back" and with that the obviusly delirios infant child on his 1sth Dead Day, burrowed himself on his side, letting his body and mind lost a 100 years battle aganist the triednes.
The Ancient of Dreams may not like much the halfa, but he would be dameed if he could not do someting about this child proposiusly posioning his mind in his sleeps.
Now where the hell did he left the number of that soul taxed evation magician?

Bruce has another kid........but this one is not adopted
It started with a mission. Bruce had caught wind of strange paranormal disturbances in a small town called Amity Park. Reports of “ghost sightings” and a local teen hero known as “Danny Phantom” had reached the Batcomputer. Most dismissed it as urban legends or a publicity stunt, but Bruce wasn’t one to ignore a potential threat—especially when these sightings coincided with spikes in dimensional energy readings.
Taking Tim and Damian along, Bruce decided to investigate.
The Bat-plane landed under cover of night just outside Amity Park. The small, seemingly ordinary town was eerily quiet. The only sounds were the hum of streetlights and the occasional echo of a distant, unnatural wail.
“This place is giving me... weird vibes,” Tim muttered, adjusting his tech-enhanced goggles.
“Focus, Drake,” Damian snapped. “We are not here for your feelings.”
Tim rolled his eyes but stayed silent as they followed Bruce toward the FentonWorks lab, the epicenter of the disturbances according to their data.
As they approached the lab, the trio suddenly heard a commotion. A glowing, green figure phased through a wall, yelling back at someone inside.
“I told you, Skulker, I’m not in the mood for another ‘hunt’ today!” Danny Phantom shouted, blasting the air with an ectoplasmic beam that sent a mechanical ghost retreating through the night sky.
The Bat-family froze.
“That’s him,” Bruce said quietly, narrowing his eyes. “Danny Phantom.”
Tim activated his scanner. “Readings are off the charts. His energy signatures are unlike anything I’ve seen. Definitely not human... or entirely human.”
Danny turned mid-air, his glowing green eyes locking onto the trio of vigilantes below. His gaze lingered on Damian for a fraction of a second before he floated down, his posture wary but non-threatening.
“And you guys are...?” Danny asked, crossing his arms.
“Batman,” Bruce said, stepping forward. “We’re here to investigate the unusual phenomena in this town. That includes you.”
“Great. Another set of people thinking I’m some kind of freak,” Danny muttered under his breath before straightening up. “Look, I don’t know what you’ve heard, but I’m just trying to keep the ghost attacks in check. So unless you’re here to help, maybe stay out of my way?”
As the conversation continued, Bruce noticed something odd about Danny. There was something familiar in his facial structure, his stance, even his voice. It was faint, but undeniable.
Later, under the guise of investigating the Fenton lab, Bruce covertly collected a sample of Danny’s DNA—left behind on a napkin when Danny had grabbed a snack.
Back at the Batcave, the results left him stunned.
Bruce returned to Amity Park and requested to speak with Danny privately. Intrigued—and maybe a little suspicious—Danny agreed, letting Bruce lead him to the Bat-plane.
When they arrived at Wayne Manor, Alfred greeted them with his usual calm demeanor. “Master Bruce, your guest?”
Danny raised an eyebrow. “Fancy place. What is this, a billionaire’s bat-cave?”
Bruce didn’t respond, leading Danny to the Batcave below.
Once there, Bruce revealed the DNA results.
“Daniel,” he began, his tone as measured as ever, “you’re my son.”
Danny blinked. Then blinked again. “I’m sorry, what?”
Bruce explained how Talia had kept Damian a secret and revealed that she’d also been pregnant with twins. After Damian’s birth, Talia claimed Danny had been stillborn. In truth, the League of Assassins had stolen him for an experiment, intending to use him as a vessel for Ra’s al Ghul’s essence. When the experiment failed, they abandoned Danny, leaving him to be found by Jack and Maddie Fenton.
“I don’t even know where to start with that,” Danny said, pacing. “You’re telling me my entire life is some kind of League of Assassins soap opera?!”
Bruce didn’t respond, giving Danny space to process.
After a long silence, Danny turned to him. “Does Damian know?”
Bruce decided to bring Danny to the Manor to meet the rest of the family. The reactions were varied—Tim was skeptical, Jason was amused, and Alfred was quietly delighted to have another addition to the family.
But Damian’s reaction was the most intense.

Oh the horror of stabbing clowns
def fic starter
So in a pinch to get a one up on Vlad Danny, Dani and Dan constantly get into shenanigans. Be it the police, the government, the GIW, old miss Sharon from down the street or anyone who will pay any meaningful attention (look they take having chaos as a gender very seriously.) There are constant attempts to ruin Vlad's reputation. He's found the three doing the most random things to get on his nerves. He's found Dani eating furniture, Dan scaring people by telling them when and where their loved ones will or have died ( He has yet to find anything Danny has done only seeing him being scarily normal (what did he do?!?))
But this gala might just take the cake. It was simple, straight forward, Bruce Wayne has dealt with worse. Between child Richard swinging from chandeliers, Jason stealing anything of noteworthy value, Timothy's nonchalant attitude when the gala was in a hostage situation, Cassandra's standoffish quiet nature, Damian's rudeness, Duke's extroverted tendencies and Stephanie being herself. There's nothing Daniel, Danielle and Dan can do to destroy the playboy's sanity than what those brat's did.
He should have just taken that bowling invitation instead (It was really enticing too). The start of the gala was going swimmingly, Little Badger was talking with Timothy, making weird hand gestures, nothing too bad. Danielle and Stephanie were giggling about something looking near the punch bowl where Alexander Luther was, being absolutely annoyed at by Oliver Queen (they likely spiked it going to have to avoid THAT drama). Dan and Damian were squaring up each other with swords (where did they get those this is a public event ('We aren't even at Wayne manor where the Ancients did they get those')). When of course in Gotham 'do as gothamites do' some very kind gas mask wearing folk barge in and spray sleeping gas all over the place, and wake up in some sort of death contraption. It had only been 5 hours. Bowling is seeming very nice right about now.
This was likely the clowns doing if the massive amounts of green and purple spray paint everywhere has anything to say about it.
"Well hello there, All the most rich and powerful people in one Place how unfortun--- ACK." Somehow without warning, without being seen. Daniel was already on top of the Joker with Dan and Danielle off to the side quietly chanting "Stab the clown. Stab the clown. Stab the clown."
Bruce seeing an opportunity to further his case on Vlad Masters takes one look at what's about to happen asks "Your's?"
Sighing dramatically the response is quick and decisive. "No, Mr. Wayne they are... My godchildren, sadly."
A pat on the back with a quiet chuckle. "Well I see, you have your hands full huh?"
Can he have just one day where the 3 love him like a father?
