#danny has his ghost powers since he took a dip in the pits

[bluerosefox]

Assassin Heir? Crime Fighting Furry? NOPE NO THANK YOU!

"Danyal, its time to end this game and return with me."

Danny should had known Clockwork had something in mind when he sent him on this mission. He knew he should had been suspicious of the time keeper when he noticed the little 'this is going to be fun' smile on his face when he sent Danny off into the portal.

"Get back here you demon spawn 2.0!"

But how was he supposed to know that he'd wake up in this world version of himself in a pit full of corrupted (AND NASTY) ectoplasim at the tender age of five or that when he swam up to the surface he'd be meeting face to face with what was apparently a cult.

"-O just spotted him a block away! I'll try to cut itty bitty bridie off!"

An Assassins Cult his, new to him, loving yet a little insane mother was in charge of (though during the few months he stayed in the compound he heard rumors and gossip from maids and others alike that if his grandfather returned from the dead he'll take over once again, no doubt punish Talia for creating another heir after the failure of the last one, most likely was going to kill Danny and that... that was can of worms Danny didn't wanna deal with yet)

"Ten bucks says they try to stab RR when we get the feral thing home"

"...Losers bet...."

Danny had lived with his mother for a while after being brought back from the 'dead' for apparently the first time, it turned out training a five year old with an actual sword and a dumbass hidden revenge seeking teacher was a terrible idea.

"I swear if this one tries to murder me like the others I'm asking Zatanna if there is a curse on me."

He dealt with her high demands of perfection, the endless training, and the constant comparisons to his apparent older brother Damain... Who didn't know Danny, or rather Danyal existed.

Nor did his father (when Danny, using his powers he's kept hidden since 'waking' up in this Realm, he sneaked his way around the base and discovered how he came into the world. And tbh he couldn't blame his mom how she made him, she was an assassin first and foremost, being naturally pregnant would had painted a target on her for to long... but he also felt it was unfair and an asshole move on his unsuspecting father as well)

"As your elder brother I demand you to stop running!"

Now don't get him wrong, he did like his new mother (total badass assassin lady and all that) and he knew she loved him in her own... deadly way. But yeah, she really shouldn't be taking care of kids. He could tell she struggled with wanting to be a normal mother but her first instinct after so many years was to be an assassin first.

Something she was trying to engrave into Danny with as well.

"Ah, hello Beloved. I see you've learned of our Danyal."

"Talia. Back away from him and leave Gotham now."

"I can not do that. The League needs an heir and since Damian refuses to return... I have decided to create a new one and I shall not be leaving until he returns with me."

"Talia."

Hence why when Danny, or rather Danyal al Ghul had gotten decent control over his powers he decided to leave the League. Again nothing wrong with the life his mom leads, to each their own, but he... really, really didnt want to be an assassin. Or an assassin heir.

So here he was, after almost a year on the run, using his powers and training to out smart and out maneuver his mother and her many band of Assassins, in Gotham. One of the last places he ever wanted to run to cause he knew his father and brother lived here.

It was just his luck that his mother had managed to intercept his train ride that passed into Gotham for a few hours and forced him to run into the city...

Add her assassins into the mix and running into Robin, who heard from Oracle his mother had been spotted chasing a young boy across the city, that same night.

After that it became a full on "catch me if you can" chase for not only his mother but for the batclan as well.

And after two whole days of chase, it seemed like the final showdown was about to begin because everyone was on top of this rooftop, his mother and her assassins on one side, his father and the batclan on the other and Danny well... he was right in the middle of all of it.

He just had to hope no one would notice him once the fighting started...

[fairy-lights-and-blobs]

Alright, let's try and do something here, shall we?

Danny would tell you he was having a normal, not at all weird night.

That is, until he felt the weirdest summon ever tugging at his core, calling him through the Veil to answer the call for the Ghost King. The feeling from the ritual felt like what he'd expect old Pariah's ectoplasm to feel like, if it spent millennia rotting away, with no connection to the Realms.

Nowadays, Danny lived full-time in his Keep, what with everyone he cared about being ghosts, or Liminal enough that they would be happier among ghosts, so he didn't even bother changing his form. They called for the Ghost King, therefore he would answer. At least, even if the summoning didn't go anywhere, he would be able to purge the rotten ecto before leaving. So it was really no surprise to find himself hovering above a pool of the stuff, as it bubbled and oozed quietly, simmering with rage of those that took a dip in it, and the Former King's madness,

"Uhhhh, you guys know you have a pit of nasty sewer water in your basement, right? Because...that's just plain nasty, and you really shouldn't be swimming in it." Taking a good look around the place where the summoning occurred revealed a weird cult gathering: people all dressed in leather and silks, some old man that was clearly past his expiration date, a woman that looked like she belonged in a battlefield as an Angel of Vengeance, and a tiny child clutching her leg and staring at the entity the weird cult had summoned. Oh, the Old Man was talking, wasn't he? Oops, Danny might've been a bit...distracted there.

"-you will grant me your power and immortality, and in exchange we shall grant you any sacrifice you desire." Oh joy, another Death maniac...would it kill them to summon Danny for anything else? Like that sleepover he got accidentally summoned to, because a bunch of teenagers and their non-believer friend decided to put it to the test and summoned him. Needless to say, he gave them the old "be gay, do crimes, and touch grass" salute and left before anyone could try to ask him out on a date, or something. He's a tad too old to be dating teenagers, anyways. Ancients, Ellie would have a fit if she knew he'd called himself old. The little shit gave him a goddamn cane when he turned 30, as if he's going to wither away and die anytime soon...

"My Lord? Does the offer displease you?" The woman he has noticed before seemed divided between hoping it did, and not wanting to offend him, so he floated over to the ground to be more level with her. "Not so much displeased, as it is nonsensical. I'm already going to get those sacrificed souls when they grow old, and I have all the Time in the world to wait for them, and the stories they will tell when they cross into my domain. Why would I want souls? And besides, did you notice Mr. Raisin Man has already passed his expiration date years ago? He's almost as rancid as the pit behind me!" Oop, that was a sword in his chest. Wow, lady sure moves fast. He might've been dead if he was a human. "You will grant Ras al Ghul the respect he's owed, shade!" So, he's her dad, then. Fun.

"First of all, lady, that was a smooth transition from standing to stabbing me. Secondly, if you're going to try and kill me, at least take me out on a date before you take me out with a sword. And lastly, I dont know who that guy is, but I've never met a good Death cult, especially when their Leader looks like he's cosplaying a vampire." Danny closed his hands around her and gave her a smug grin as he opened a mini portal to his room and pulled the sword through "Also, since you went to the effort of finding the shortest way to my heart, I'm going to keep the sword to remember you by." Ancients, she just might find him stupid enough to send him back without a deal.

Unfortunately, Talia al Ghul very much had a type, and it's good-looking stupid himbo, so no dice on the dismissal. Now she was interested in this being, who laughed at Death, and had no care for any efforts made to kill him. And just as unfortunately, Ras was also interested, but instead in taking it's power for himself."Shade, as your summoner, I order you to strip yourself of your powers, and you will instead hand them to me. Do this, and I might consider sparing your existence-" too bad for Mr Raisin Man, Danny was neither compelled not eager to comply. "Yeah, I'm gonna stop you right there, buddy. You sound like a Frootloop, and I'm tired of dealing with those, so no dice."

Instead, what he did was float off the ground again, and plunge Ras' throne into a bubble of pure Darkness and shifted into his new Eldritch form, grabbing the man's head in hands that had too many fingers, sharp claws pricking at his scalp as the Entity stared him down with too many eyes, speaking in a language that made his ears bleed, from a mouth of too many sharp teeth, his tail curling around the worm's body in a freezing grip that left no escape. That's when the screaming started, as the Demon's Head was subjected to The Horrors, his mind deteriorating quickly, until he was an empty husk, mind drained of sanity (Frighty was gonna be so proud of him!!!!). He dropped the man, now even more of a raisin, and turned back to normal and he perched on the arm of the empty throne. "So, anyone else wants to try a similar deal?"

In the commotion of Assassins being frozen in place by the horrific sight, wailing at the death of their leader, the Pit bursting into a frenzy at the rage of it's King, and Talia considering if this was a good chance to take leadership of the League to herself, baby Damian had let go of her and stumbled his way to the entity sitting on Grandfather's throne. The baby innocently stared up at the man, gave him the biggest puppy dog eyes he'd ever seen (and Ellie had practically perfected them, so he'd know) and, as he almost fell over, Danny gently held him up and sat him on his lap, cooing softly at the baby. "What is it, little prince? Are you coming to get revenge for your Grandpa?" The child grabbed his hand and bit his finger as valiantly as he could, then looked up and squealed a loud, happy "DADA!!!!" and flopped against Danny's stomach like a contented rabbit.

The happy giggling of her son, alarmingly NOT at her side, as he'd been so far, had Talia turning around to the Entity, at the same moment he ran gentle fingers through baby Damian's hair and gave her a look she knew well from the time spent with Bruce Wayne. " I mean, I'm still waiting on your mom asking me out on that date, but I'd be happy to be your dad!"

That's it, no matter how Eldritch and horrifying he might've showed himself to be, this stupid himbo needed to know his place. And, as far as Talia was concerned, that would be at her side, as she ruled the League. He's a stupid idiot, but dammit if he wasn't the charming kind of stupid...

@fisticuffsatapplebees @skulld3mort-1fan you wanted a tag, dears, so here's your tag :D

I hope this is at least entertaining. I really need to start writing more often, and here on Tumblr, I get a great source of prompts.

I had a very cursed thought and I'm choosing violence and making it Tumblr's problem:

Bruce had his thing with Talia. It led to the Stabby Child that is Damian.

Except, Damian has 2 dads.

Bruce, biologically his Father, and Daniel James Phantom, brought to their world by the Lazarus Pit, who "convinced Ras to retire" (aka turned his mind to mush through Eldritch Madness of Revelation). Talia took over, and, thinking herself The Chosen One, allowed the guy to court her.

In fact she isn't some Chosen One. She's a badass woman who could kill Danny easily, and he's very into that. And it's not helping that she's very attractive, and her kid is very feral and like to fight, like baby ghosts also like to do.

Eventually the Bats get wind that there's been a Change in Management in the League, and they come to investigate. Bruce expects the worst, Tim is just praying Ras is dead and he can get his spleen back, Jason is mildly disturbed that it might mean Talia is leading the Assassins, and Dick is keeping Gotham safe while the others are out.

They expect a cruel dictatorship, or a mound of corpses piles in a corner.

They did NOT expect to see a tiny Damian fight a guy dressed in League armor, a Cape and a crown of black iron, who could've been Wayne Adoption Bait if he was younger, while the guy laughs and corrects his form. Every blow the child is allowed to land simply passes through him.

Talia got herself a very comfy throne (Danny gifted it to her, saying some cheesy line like "no other would be fit for a Queen like you") made of Starlight and Ice, from which she can watch her on and her Beloved bond and train, while her new and improved League watch on as their Prince takes joy in his training and the pride his parents have in him. Soon he shall move to Gotham to meet his other dad, and learn from him as well, so he may know his family and make his destiny as he wishes.

TLDR: Danny is a simp for strong deadly lady and a good dad to her kid. She's indulging in his attention and caring. The bats are confused. Jason can feel the Ghost Adoption that will be coming his way when Danny "Ghost King" Phantom learns of his existence. The League of Assassins, even while they kill people to maintain Wolrd Order, treat Talia, Danny and Damian like the spies in SpyxFamily act towards Loid and Anya :)

Bruce: *opens his mouth*

Talia: You can't adopt my love

Bruce: *closes mouth*

I go a little feral for Jason viewing Talia as his mom so I am 100% behind Danny adopting Jason. Maybe Tim follows him after learning what Danny did to Ras and let's him have his spleen back, tho only on the condition that his own doctors put it back in. Who knows what Ras has done to it and with ecto involved its better to be safe than sorry. Tim is amazed that they can put the spleen back in at all due to how long its been outside his body.

Is this going to turn Poly with Bruce/Talia/Danny? Cause I'd read that!

Lmao imagine everyone going on vacation in the Ghost Zone. I'd read that too!
