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...

DP x DC prompt [5]
De-age Danny, de-age Ellie and Dan, de-age the entirety of team Phantom. How about we age them up. Give them the Bart and Jon treatment.
Some ancient is annoyed with Ellie causing so much chaos, let’s say… It's the ancient of order.
It decides that it is time she grows up a bit and learns some responsibility. She has to understand that her actions have consequences.
So it orchestrates an event where she gets chucked into the DC universe and because the people of the DC universe don't know her in any other way than this mid twenties looking lady the kids gloves are off.
She's confused, upset and a bit worried. But she's not going to let this little setback hold her back, she's going to find people with a mindset more like hers and she'll keep doing what she does best.
I imagine she's gonna end up with the Outlaws.
In the meantime Danny goes after her because he’s worried about his sister, but by doing so also gets hit by the age up effect and sadly for him he loses the 50/50 of aged up characters and the DC universe interprets his existence as someone that has to die so kill events keep happening to him but none of them are enough to fully kill a halfa so he's just known as the extremely lucky disaster guy.
Ellie gets to be Wraith and feel really cool about it. And in the watchtower some members are realizing they have rescued the same guy from really bad almost deadly incidents.
Green Lantern twists the chair around so he can fold his arms on the backrest,
"I swear the guy is from the final destination movies or something, the craziest things keep happening to him but he's fine every time somehow"
Flash pauses in eating his panini "Yeah cause we rescue him"
"No, well yes but I saw him get shot and I thought, Oh no... but he was just fine somehow"
"Now that you're talking about it. I still don't know how he managed to dodge an entire building. I made note of it cause he very specifically told me he was fine and I didn't have to worry"
"Hmm well at least he's cute"
"What?"
"What?"

C4-621, randomly during Ice Worm mission: Rusty is too tall for me to kiss him on the lips. What should I do?
Iguazu: You seriously asking that shit right now, freelancer???
Michigan: What's this, G13? Asking for love advice from yours truly-
Walter: He wasn't asking you specifically. 621, just focus on the mission at hand-
Michigan: Oh, you're always like that, Walter. No time for romance or anything like that! There's a reason they called you the Heartbreaker of Ganymede!
Walter: No one called me that.
Michigan: I did.
Snail: As riveting as your insipid soap opera drama is, can we focus on the giant mechanical horror in front of us before it kills us all.
Michigan: Oh, now Arquebus's love guru's weighing in, huh? Butt out, Snail, you wouldn't know a romantic tragedy even if you starred in one.
Snail: I would love to but you are all CLOGGING UP THE OPERATIONAL COMMS LINE.
Michigan: Then mute it. No one wants to listen to you anwyays.
Snail: I am the field commander of this operation-!
C4-621, privately to Iguazu: I repeat my earlier question, as the others seem like they wouldn't give good answers.
Iguazu: ...
Iguazu: Just punch him in the stomach, then kiss him when he doubles down.
C4-621: Okay.
Rusty, wondering if everyone forgot he's on the comm line too: ...
