Revenant!Jazz thoughts Pt.2
Continuing from this post
This time, Iā€™m thinking about Vlad and his reaction to all this. In the show he doesnā€™t particularly seem to care about Jazz in any way, probably because of his hyper focus on Danny and Maddie. I doubt heā€™s registered Jazz as a threat of any kind, much less to him.
If Danny winds up Bat-dopted, Jason or classic ā€œBruce stole another oneā€ and the news catches wind of the new Wayne, Vlad would be livid. Danny is supposed to be his son afterall, doesnā€™t matter that it was Maddie who severely wounded her own son.
In the midst of Rogues dropping like flies, Jazz sets a trap for Vlad by baiting him with Danny. Her brother is never in danger, not with her around and certainly not with the bat family lurking nearby, but Vlad cannot help himself- he tries to kidnap Danny by overshadowing the adoptive parent. Jazz allows it to happen only until Vlad takes Danny out of the public eye, then straight up punches Vlad out of the person heā€™s overshadowing, sucking him up into a thermos she stole from the GIW and throwing it into an abyss.

Wouldnā€™t someone recognize Jazz then?
Beyond the walking dead look that came free with reanimating, Jazz walks, talks and looks completely different then she was in life. Memories shape us and without most of hers Jazz wouldnā€™t be quite the same anymore. Where she once walked with a relaxed gait and a calm demeanor, as a Revenant Jazz masters the murder strut, because thatā€™s pretty much the only thought going through her head on a constant loopā€¦.Other than ā€˜make Danny Safeā€™ of course.
Who killed Jazz? (Asked by @someonebored0100 )
Originally I was thinking it would be either the Fenton parents in the GAV or the GIW, but then a delicious angst idea popped into my headā€¦.
Batman chasing down Joker led to him slamming into Jazzā€™s car, which resulted in her death and a new son for him to care forā€¦.
Batman says nothing when he brings in Danny, marks down Jazzā€™s death as a murder and does not go out as Batman again for a week.
Was Jazz autopsied?
Thee death rate in Gotham must be higher than any other city in the world, so the coroners embody (pun not intended) the phrase ā€œoverworked and underpaidā€.
So no, she wasnā€™t autopsied, but they did make record of the punctured artery and removed the shrapnel by request of Batman for testing.
What happened after Jazzā€™s body disappeared from the Crematorium?
Bruce Wayne paid for the cremation personally, so itā€™s understandable the mortician would be Panicking at the very likely notion that someone stole a dead body paid to be cremated and sealed into an urn by Bruce Fucking Wayne.
If the mortician cremates an unclaimed body and slaps the wrong name on it, weā€™ll, add it to the list of morally questionable things heā€™s done as a mortician in a Gotham.
Thoughts about Jasonā€™s reaction to a true Revenant?
Her veiny visage, with the broken sclera and eyes that seem to absorb light and give none back, horrifies Jason to the bone. Did he look like that when he dug himself out of his grave? Did the Pits actually do him a favor? It makes him wanna puke just thinking about how accurate his zombie jokes could have beenā€¦ then makes him swear to stop telling those same jokes because clearly heā€™s no longer one of the walking dead if he looks better than this dead woman who looks justā€¦ horrifying.
Though once Jazz kills the Joker in the same way the clown killed Jason, he seeks out the Revenant and after doing some diggingā€¦ swears to do whatever he can for her.
If this is Dad!Jason, then heā€™s very upset for Danny and Jazzā€™s tragic history.
No hardcover pairing this time?
Maybe? Doubtful, but it could happen. I donā€™t think it should though.
Does Jazz have a vigilante persona in this one?
Hmm, not exactly. Sheā€™s not tying to hide anything, definitely not her less than living appearance. She wears boots, a canvas jacket, jeans and gun holsters with hair that looks like a drunk toddler attacked it with dull scissors.
She doesnā€™t save anyone, not directly, but ending the rogues that killed so many earns her the name ā€œReaperā€ and it sticks.
Whatā€™s Dannyā€™s reaction to all this?
We all know about the dark timeline that resulted from The Ultimate Enemy, Dan.
The Fenton parents are still hunting him down, Sam and Tucker are trying to move to Gotham, heā€™s been adopted by a Kevlar-clad billionaire furry who acts like a himbo with way too much ease for it to be all an act. Heā€™s got a home thatā€™s not an active threat to his afterlife and the food is the farthest thing from radioactive.
(Alfred Pennyworth nearly had a heart attack at the mere thought of a child eating radioactive food and that a piece of toast on his plate was a punishment.)
Butā€¦ Jazz is dead.
Itā€™s true that they hadnā€™t had the best relationship for the last few years, especially after his accident, but Jazz had become his rock. Sam and Tucker were his best friends, but they had no real idea what it was like to grow up a Fenton. Sure they had some context clues (was the giant portal entrance with the on-button inside not a giant warning sign?), but Jazz had kept him alive even as a kid herself.
She worked herself to the bone to make sure he had food to eat, some hours to sleep at night, and a shoulder for him to put some of the burden on her as Phantom. In the end, she hurt their parents to get him out of the lab and away from them.
She had died trying to get him to safety.
Heā€™d seen her car, the wreck, the blood, the still radioactive substance he called his bloodā€¦ he sat in the driverā€™s seat and cried for his sister- he wanted Jazz to tease him and call him ā€˜little brotherā€™ again.
Sure, he had Cass now and several brothers, but nothing could ever replace Jazz.
Itā€™s the thought that Jazz would be upset with him that keeps Danny from turning by his grief into a ghostly wail, to wreck everything and everyone.
Then he meets the Reaper. And he knows.
ā€œLittle Brother.ā€

What about the ending for Jazz you talked about?
Thatā€™s gonna be in another post, this one was getting long enough as is.

Revenant!Jazz ideas:
Continuing from this DPxDC prompt of mine, Iā€™ve had some more thoughts about Jasmine Fenton and Revenants, especially where it concerns DC lore and Jason Todd in particular.
ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”ā€”-
In my original post, @starlightcat04 asked whether or not Jazzā€™s eyes would glow toxic green too. I propose that, no, they wouldnā€™t.
While itā€™s a common head canon that Ectoplasm is heavily influenced by emotions, Jazzā€™s Ecto-contamination is bone deep and pure, unlike Jasonā€™s. So no, I donā€™t believe her eyes would glow green.
They turn from the teal she had in life to a smoldering green that reflects light just like a feline, with a heavily damaged sclera that is perceived as black in low lighting, with ash grey veins spreading from her eye sockets down to her jaw like tears.
Her once bright hair turns from a lively orange-ish red to the color of cooling embers.
That which caused her death, a punctured artery is half-way healed by the time Jazz reanimates in the crematorium, so not only is she supposed to be dead still, she also has to be very careful with her movements otherwise she could very well bleed out again before she is fully healed.
What else changes with Revenant!Jazz?
In exchange for a higher mental processing and the high damage absorption of Revenants, Jazz loses most (almost all) of her memories of her life. What she does remember is thankfully not her death, but rather Dannyā€™s, his death scream and ghostly wail overlap in her mind, at times causing severe headaches and nausea.
(According to his wiki page, Jason spent a year in a coma and as an amnesiac vagrant, therefore itā€™s not entirely without precedent that Jazz wouldnā€™t keep hers.)
Her Ecto-contamination has to factor in a lot though.
Jason was revived by Superboy-Primeā€™s Reality Shattering Punch. Jazz was reanimated by her own willpower, aided by Ecto to allow her body to heal and regress the stages of rigor mortis.
ā€”ā€”ā€”//:///////ā€”ā€”ā€”-
What does Jazz need to accomplish as a Revenant?
In the original prompt I wrote that Jazz returned to keep Danny safe- broad enough for a prompt, but what exactly does ā€œsafeā€ for a halfa entail?
Letā€™s list the major threats to Dannyā€™s health, beginning with the obvious: the Ghost Investigation Ward and The Fenton Parents.
The Fentons are capable of tracking Phantom by his Ecto-signature, creating and having created weaponry specifically designed to target the ghost in question, to which they pass that tech on to the GIW.
If Danny remains in Gotham, the ambient Ecto will scramble the tech over enough of a distance, but if Danny were in a line up of three people right next to a GIW agent heā€™d be clocked almost immediately.
So, the Fentons and the GIW have to go. How does this happen?
The greatest irony I could possibly inflict on these anti-ghosters- becoming ghosts themselves. I wonā€™t go into detail about what my brain jumped to when I thought about that outcome, but letā€™s just say it was pretty dark.
(And karmically well-deserved.)
#3 on the list depends on where Danny is when Jazz is finished with numbers 1 & 2 on her list.
If Danny is is Gotham and staying there for the long haul, then I believe this girl would take one look at Batmanā€™s rogue gallery and nope them so hard everyone in Gotham gets the sense of their world about to be rocked, but the ones she gunning for the most?
(Joker, Bane, Manbat, Firefly, Madhatter, Riddlerā€¦)
They get the sensation that someone just walked over their non-existent graves.
(I got a little gleeful demented imagining Jazz just straight up ripping Manbatā€™s wings clean off, burning Firefly alive and throwing a detoxed Bane into a crowd of vengeful Gothamites.)
(Jazz learns that Joker killed a young hero with a crowbar and a bomb. Sheā€™s fully onboard with turnabout being fair play when it comes to that Pennywise reject.)
(I canā€™t even begin to list every rogue Jazz cuts down, it she doesnā€™t kill all of them, just most of their number.)
(Gotham celebrates for weeks.)
(Iā€™m not sure whether or not Jazz kills the four mentioned previously in a couple of nights, one night or over a a few months, but it doesnā€™t take as long as one might think.)

Whatā€™s next for Revenant!Jazz?
Iā€™m still writing The Regent series, so I doubt Iā€™ll come back to this for a while, but Iā€™ll still be posting ideas and whatnot about Revenant!Jazz. Thereā€™s still plenty to explore here, and I have a pretty angst/bittersweet ending for Jazz in mind I want to talk about later.
If you have any ideas to add, please feel free to comment! If anyone does write this, please let me know so I can read it!
