#just the Vlad redemption trope but Lex

[kaseycryptid-reactivated39253199]

DC X DP PROMPT

Lex Luthor after years of r&d stumbles upon ectoplasm. He then uses this experimental fuel source to power his machines for years.

The GIW gets wind of this, the GIW who currently have both Jazz and Danny in containment after Maddie and Jack handed them over.

Lex finds these two children and for a moment he’s back in his childhood, remembering his father. His horrible drunkard of a father, and he sees red. When he calms down the GIW base is nothing more than a smoking crater and he is carrying the two children.

Hey so timeline wise do we want this to be while he was making Superboy/Kon?

Ie. This is his wakeup call to what he almost put the test tube baby through.

So Danny and Jazz, His Kids NowTM are just informed they are getting a brother who was designed as a backup plan if Superman decided to turn his back on humanity?

And after seeing how Lex is treating Kon, dealer’s choice if he was artificially aged up, or growing normally and given info with hand-wavey science, Danny tries to contact Dani/Ellie to see if she wants to stay with them too.

And Danny and Jazz explicitly are not allowed to fight directly—Danny can have his duplicates do so and Jazz is allowed to gather information via psychological analysis, but Lex refuses to let Any of his kids be weapons if he can avoid it. Yes this includes Kon who is now in school, and is allowed to ‘go nuts’ against his siblings in controlled quarters combat.

Hell, if you want to do what @halfagone did in her fic, you can even have a point of conflict be Superman not trusting Lex’s new leaf (as not the first time he pulled this bs and now he has three (maybe four) meta kids. Absolutely sus.

If you want to extend the ‘Amity and DC are same universe’ idea? Amity Park was covered up as a semi-sentient city with its own rules (not unlike Fawcett’s varied timeline zones and various non-humans vibing) but significantly lighter on the magic and heavier on the liminal aspect to all residents. Superheroes rarely found anyone in need as Amity Park’s city spirit found scant use for heroes, and disliked the random intrusions into her territory. So unless it was a catastrophe? Kept all info from outside sources unless the city spirit trusted that it would result in tangible help.

Other possible conflicts:

Dani/Ellie can be in YJ in place of Kon already (recruited by one if the girls, i feel like Cissie and Cassie would work or Greta/Secret) and they’ve been looking for Jazz and Danny as a longterm side quest (not unlike Greta’s missing memories or finding out what happened in her past).

Vlad vs Lex custody wars

Lex vs giw (please have amanda waller dragged in and clock danny as her youngest son’s missing friend. For enrichment).

Danny and jazz vs rich people

Danny dealing with clark as a reporter who clearly believes danny was cohered into being nice about lex. He is not. (Man got revenge on Jack, Maddie and Vlad. And gave Danny carte blanche to decorate and design his own astronaut and astronomy museum. Leave him alone!)

Danny just staring at reporters and saying “oh. Wes would get along with you all.” Whenever pressed about “Wes” jazz tells them “his stalker in high school.”

Reunion with old friends and working out new dynamics

A lister reaction to jazz and Danny Luthor

Jazz’s response to live questions getting invasive is to publicly analyze the reporter pushing her or her new family

Kon integrating into the Luthor family and dealing with people assuming he’s either evil, being manipulated or both by heroes he thought he could look upto

Legit having Lex hold his three (four?) meta kids back from fighting superman themselves when he calls Their Dad Untrustworthy. Say that in punching range you coward!

Lena taking one look at Jazz and going ‘my student now’ while Kon and Danny begin to experiment with their powers. And forget to coordinate it with lex. Public finds out the kids were adopted after Lex found them being used in a meta trafficking ring.

Hell, news breaking that Lex found and dismantled a meta trafficking ring and JL having to work out ‘did he make the ring or actually find it and destroy it?’ Issue

Let Kon constantly be told by Danny ‘no, if we vigilante we gotta have a good cover and we both know i suck at lying.’ So kon? Just goes out to help in a superboy stealth suit.

Kon being an out and about punk and making lex donate to causes he cares about for his allowance (anonymously). Reporters Clark Kent and Lois Lane check in to see if its nefarious… its a series of donations to indigenous people, queer organizations, and environmental causes.

Danny has a habit of using his duplicates to help in disasters and ‘not see’ Kon grabbing his stealth suit to help. If Danny is also seen with Jazz doing basic health checks on people and helping in safe zones. Well. Prove he’s vigilante Superdork. Where was my brother? We’re on camera helping out with getting people out of rubble—Kon did that longer since he’s not no EMT training yet.

Jazz and Danny being strangely good with weapons and publicly disarming assailants and going ‘bio fam taught us when we were three’ alarming the public.

Kon routinely debating if he hates Superman and the JL for giving his family crap or understands. Does hate the Robin dude that keeps trying to bug the place. But Tim Drake is a cool guy.

Dani doing her best to juggle being a YJ member and a Luthor if she joins. No she’s not spying on her siblings—Danny’s her template Robin, can it. His retirement is his problem. Not let her do the family bonding and annoy reporters by switching languages mid interview.

The five minutes the JL think Vlad might be able to help them get Danny and Jazz away from Luthor only to clock this man stalks their bio mom and is obsessed with Danny. Kid not wanting to leave lex makes sense if this is his alternative.

Bruce and Clark finding out about Kon as a backup Superman only for the kid to roll his eyes and go ‘when i’m an adult and if it comes to it. Now can i get back to my date? Sheesh, dad was right about you two being dogs with bones.’

Jazz casually gathering info to destroy people while seeming the most approachable od her family. She and Sam have teamed up (possibly with paulina) to ruin companies and people the three decide are making too many harmful choices and are not ‘willing to grow’. Lena openly helps these three coordinate their attacks.

Mercy is the kids’ combat teacher, and Danny refuses to explain why he knows amazonian combat. Wrong conclusions is drawn (amazon who left ages ago taught him pre-transition)

The unique horror for danny of being a transman, rich and in the public eye Assumed As Cis and his own thoughts on how to take out rich snobs. Also let him grow into a build between his mom’s (best for quick movements and escape) and his dad’s (man is koolaide man).

Danny is eat the rich. So is Kon. And Sam. All three are now rich. How does this affect them, and are the three friends?

Tucker and Danny friendship with all of this going on. Especially if Tucker is Amanda Waller’s son. Let people try to make that a scandal only for Tucker to pull out a baby photo of the two as friends (after his mom gave dad primary custody as Shady Government Job) and go “been besties since we met and way before Lex knew he existed.”

Danny “mad science but unaware of it” Luthor being caught making remedies for various biological warfares used by rogues. Lex is caught reminding Danny that thise need clinical trials before he’s allowed to dropkick then as over the counter hard candies for the biolgical warefare they correlate to. (Think cough drop v of anti-joker venom, fear toxin, various ivy pollens and common issues of the like for various cities.) danny complains he is being restricted on helping people. Lex sighs and reminds him regulations are there ti stop death, not incur it.

Public vs luthor kids on social media. Jazz and danny lore goes hard. Ellie/Dani refuses to elaborate. Kon just goes ‘oh. Dad wasnt sure if could wake up from the coma i was in since forever. Waking up and having siblings is weird but hey, we out number him. Bully your parents into being better.’

Luthor v Superman and JL on custody of Dani and Kon.

Where’s Val in this? Holding down Amity Park and she does make Danny her support once she finds out he’s better and willing. Danny is just glad he’s not expected to fight unless things get hairy and openly helps her out.

Ship vs ship. Not shipping wars—crush wars.

On bat side? Let tim have a crisis over kon and Danny somehow both being involved in his gay awakening (mostly Kon but Danny Matches the Mad science appeal) while Cass and Stephanie befriend said crushes—tell me Stephanie wouldn’t mention gotham’s fear toxin hangovers and that wouldn’t get danny’s gremlin brain going

Duke when he joins? Meets danny and clocks fellow meta, ex-vigilante-gone-support and takes to bugging him for advice on powers. Danny is delighted to be clocked and is now attached to the hip with Duke. Everyone assumes mentorship. No one clocks Duke forcing Danny to learn to think what he says through from Normal POV while Danny is teaching Duke the art of presumed innocence between insane stunts Extra Tips (Duke knows this art. He’s happy to add to his arsenal). Danny keeps gifting Duke mini-weapons. Laser lipstick is often refilled.

Damian and Dani. They must have Weird Unexplained Beef that boils down to ‘clocked each other but can’t say it as they are!’t snitching but hate the other on principle of they were made’
