The Beginning

Danny was tired. He was only 16 yet he was already world weary. It wasn’t enough for Fate to give him neglectful ghost hunting parents, Death and Life just had to fight over him like a toy before deciding to “share” him by basically cutting him in half. And as if that wasn’t enough he gets thrust into dealing with a whole other dimension. A whole ass realm that lives up to its name as infinite and is the glue of the multiverse. He was now stuck trying to protect two separate realms from hurting each other before he even finished going through puberty. He should be worried about his grades and impressing a cute girl or guy, yet here he was, trying to prevent war as ghost royalty. He wants a refund.

“Clockwork,” Danny groans from his place on the floor, “Why me?”

The Ancient being just huffed, switching from a decrepit old man to a baby.

“You know why Daniel. As the Right of Conquest states you are to be King. The only reason you haven’t already been given the crown is your age. No one expected a child, not even a decade dead, to Pariah Dark, let alone not to fall to someone else’s conquest. As such they see you as the rightful heir. You might not be called King yet, but you are still the Crown Prince and as such you have the right and duty to lead.” Clockwork stated.

“I’m barely passing my classes and they think I should lead? Besides Pariah was a fluke, anyone could have done it if they used the suit. If I really was that powerful as that then we wouldn’t be in this situation in the first place. The GIW would be disbanded, the Anti-Ecto Acts overturned, and my par-the Fentons would . . . ,” Danny tapered off.

Clockwork’s expression softened.

“That wasn’t your fault Daniel,” the Master of Time said gently.

“I know that, it just doesn’t feel that way,” Danny muttered with his hand on his chest. “I mean I’m just me, not anyone special. Just some dumb kid who couldn’t even die right. Who couldn’t even make their parents see the truth. If I couldn’t make them realize something as obvious as me being their kid or ghosts being sentient how am I supposed to lead and protect an entire realm? For Ancients sake their own work contradicts itself with it saying ghosts are nothing but evil and scheming yet saying that they are non-sentient and can’t feel anything, all while making something that they say would be painful to said ghosts!”

“You can not force the willfully blind to see Daniel. You gave them a chance and they chose to ignore it,” Clockwork explained.

Danny bit his lip, “I know. I know. I just hoped that just this once they would have chosen me over their work. That they would prove that they loved me more than they hated ghosts. Should have known they wouldn’t.”

Bills piled up to the point where they lost electricity and water. Permission slips ignored in favor of inventions that would eventually either explode or target him. Chores in the lab with no safety guidelines by the time he could walk. Compared and discarded in favor of his older sister, being told a ‘true’ Fenton would do better. Camping trips being derailed in favor of ghost sightings. Fearing that the food would re-animate and attack them. Hatred of Christmas, filled with arguments. Forgotten birthdays, throw to the wayside in favor of that stupid portal. The very thing that killed him and brought him back in an endless loop of death before spitting him out. It really shouldn’t have come as a surprise that they would choose ghosts over him, after all they have been doing that for his whole life. Yet, he still hoped. Like a fool.

“The heart and the mind very rarely align. At one point they choose something different than the other. Another they may choose the same as the other,” Clockwork proclaimed, as cryptic as ever.

Danny huffed, rolling around the floor, uncaring of the dust he kicked up while doing so.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” he grumbled.

“You are kind Daniel,” Clockwork declared, “It is part of the reason you will be a good King. You are not like Pariah punishing others for the slightest misdemeanor. You see the best in others even when it gets you in trouble or hurt. The problem is that you don’t value yourself, often putting yourself in danger to protect others, even when it isn’t necessary. Letting yourself get injured as long as no one else but you would get hurt. But what good is a King to their people if they can’t do anything because they are hurt? It is time that you learn to take care of yourself.”

With a smirk and a flick of Clockwork’s staff a portal appeared under the young prince, ready to drag him to a whole new dimension.

“May you learn to love yourself young Prince. Learn why we care for you and want you to be King. Why we proclaim our devotion to you. Learn your worth and how it is infinite as the realms you will one day rule.”

Danny’s eyes widened in horror. “Wait-”

But before he could continue the currents of the portal swept him down and closed, leaving behind only the Ancient of Time and the shadows in his lair.

“Goodluck my grandson.” Clockwork said softly. Shifting between forms before settling as a person in their prime, looking to the mass of shadows by one of the many clocks.

“My Knights will make it so he is cared for,” the shadows spoke.

“I know,” Clockwork smiled sadly, “but it doesn’t make saying goodbye any easier.”

To be continued . . .

Note: This is how I imagine Danny got in that dimension in the first place and it was so much fun to write! If I continue it I will put a link to the next part here but post it separately to avoid the post getting too long. And as always will credit the one the inspired the work!

DC X DP Master post

dc x dp prompt

So I just got into the dc x dp fandom very head strong and I’ve been reading dc x dp fics left and right, some of the fics containing a/b/o dynamics and I just had a thought what if Danny one day took a trip to the DC universe and this universe had the a/b/o dynamics

Danny: I am a traumatized teenager that is alone and is totally normal

Adopting orphans left and right Bruce Wayne: don’t worry pup I’ll take care of you, you’re obviously neglected due to you’re having no parental scent

Danny: STRANGER DANGER, There’s a child sniffing pervert on the loose protect your childern(runs away)

Bruce Wayne: ???

Bruce Wayne: was it something I said.

The Spirt getting rid of Sonny & Kelley, & then not making the playoffs, while both of them are on playoff teams, is mark parsons karma🫰🏻

[bet-on-me-13]

City Spirits awaken.

So! City Spirts are basically God's sustained by the people in their Cities. Some are Gods born from the belief and people of a City, others are God's who Bind themselves to Cities to sustain themselves in periods of low worship.

Almost all Major Population Centers have some kind of City Spirit bound to them.

The Personification of Los Angeles who slept with Constantine was born from her City, but she was young and weak compared to other City Spirits.

Lady Gotham is an Ancient Spirit who holds immense Power, but purposefully bound herself to the new and growing city of Gotham so she could sleep for a few millenia without worrying about sustaining Worship. She has been asleep for Centuries.

Actually, most City Spirits are Asleep.

Millenia Ago, the most powerful Gods and Spirits of the Infinite Realms fled the Rule of Pariah Dark. They didn't agree with his ambitions to conquer the Living Realm, and didn't want to let him use their Power against the Living Realm either.

So they Bound themselves to newly forming Cities and put themselves into Deep Sleep to avoid his Control. They have been asleep for Millenia now, waiting for the day Pariah would be overthrown so they could return to the Infinite Realms safely.

Then they day came. A New King was Crowned.

And the Cities began to wake up.

[howparadoxical]

There's something about the rare strongman!Bruce fanart I find that makes me insane. Then I started thinking about it and like? Bruce in the circus would be so good? and really easy to incorporate into a timeline like:

Imagine Bruce runs away at 15

He has just come back from being “transferred” to Gotham Academy from a boarding school

This is accompanied by Alfred expressing his disappointment. Bruce had already been thinking about being a burden and leaving and while in the main timeline he waits til graduating he kinda snaps

He comes across the circus and through means, I don’t think are particularly interesting, Bruce convinces them to let him tag along

“What would the boy do?”

“He could be a strongman.”

Both look over at awkward mid-growth spirt Bruce.

“Really?”

“Ay, he’s got the build for it.”

Bam! Bruce is in the circus.

He’s training to be a strongman but in the meantime excels at other tasks, including but not limited to: 

Juggling, knife throwing, animal handling, tightrope walking etc,

Not to mention already can bookkeep and can pick up languages like popcorn

Essentially good at most things except general clownery and more artistic performances like silks.

The general demographics at either about at least 10 years his senior or his junior.

Kids wise, there's just him and of course 4-year-old Dick

When Dick meets Bruce he’s like “this is my new best friend.” meanwhile Bruce is like “oh fuck, oh fuck, what the fuck do I do with a child”

When Dick is around 8 Bruce is forced to acknowledge that Dick is also his best friend and boy doesn’t that make a 19 yr old feel lame

Despite all this, Bruce is in an environment where there’s no pressure to be a Wayne and gets a clean start, which does wonders for him

Still pushes himself out of guilt and anger but now instead of being shammed for it, the people around him just redirect it

Bruce? Getting a supportive environment to train in? Sure hope that doesn’t destroy the universe

Welp, about that

Bruce stays with the circus consistently for years but disappears for a couple of months when he turns 18 (he went back to Gotham to a) prove he’s fine and b)claim his inheritance. 

Does this for a couple of reasons, one of which is that he finds out the circus is losing money and goes back so he can figure out some kind of investment to help

While there, realizes Gotham has gotten bad and is hit with that classic “oh god I’ve been happy while people are suffering I am a horrible person”

So while he does go back to Hailey’s, he ends up leaving more often as he finds different teachers and is unknowingly, officially on the path to Batman™ 

Right around 20 Bruce straight up fully disappears with barely a word as he ends up involved fully with the League of Shadows

Comes out of it a year later

The next time the circus sees him, they are performing in Gotham 

Good news is, the circus doesn’t get blackmailed/pays off protection

The Grayson’s rope doesn’t snap! Yay!

Bad news: someone tries to blow up the circus during their performance. Not only do the Grayson’s die but also the circus almost has to close down. 

The rest follows somewhat similarly but with nuance I’ve run out of room to go into. 

Hey, its an AU, not a fix-it fic :) 

[house-of-slayterr]

My goal this year is to create more of all of my art forms…

Whether that be writing on here, painting, animating, singing, YouTube or tik tok videos, cosplay, etc…

I just wanna focus on what makes me happy and stop worrying so much about typos and little mistakes.

Some of my old characters will probably remain on the back burner for a while. Not that I don’t love them anymore, I’m just not in the right headspace to get back to how I was when I wrote them, and that’s ok.

But I do plan to restart/revamp some old series like my Hannibal Family au inspired by @charliedawn wonderful version of the Hannibal family. And Possibly start a new Gotham AU with @keffirinne if you would like too. Maggie will come back someday, but I think I need a fresh character to get me in the spirt.

That being said, there will be plenty of new stories (as long as my health doesn’t get in the way) and I’m working on a new requests list so people know who they can request fics and headcannons for 🥰

I got a little lost last year mentally but I’m coming back around and I’ve missed everyone so much. So bare with me while I get my shit together 😅 I’m trying my best

My Thoughts on Lazarus Planet: Dark Fate #1 (aka the Cass portion)

An hour past noon. Enough time for some thoughts on one story, Lazarus Planet: Dark Fate #1. Some thoughts to keep us warm until Spirit World #1 arrives...

The thing that always interests me with Alyssa Wong when they tackle Cassandra Cain is they take the character and use stuff Cass has faced and then spin something new.

Cass has only encountered magic a handful of times. Only once in her entire series (ironically near the tail end with Lazara).

In truth, Cass has encountered magic outside her own comic more (Young Justice, the Zee arc in Tec Knights, and just recently the big battle in “Dark Crisis” where she literally was dodging attacks from Spectre) and--

JL: Elite with her and Coldcast being in the "world of shadows" and they encountered some Lovecraftian creatures.

Literally, outside the main universe, Cass encountering mystic stuff seems more common. We have Cass getting Shazam powers in DCeased, her fighting vampires (and teaming up with Frankenstein briefly) in DC vs. Vampires--

-- and another place in an animated adaptation of a comic she was never in originally (Batman: the Doom that Came to Gotham).

So all of this is a nice treat to see Wong take the character outside their "comfort" area and into something that's an open area for the character to explore, magic.

We get the perfect gateway character for that with Cass in the newly introduced character Xanthe.

Though I have to admit this brief little tease Wong gives introducing Cass maybe hints at what she's been up to during the Batman vs. Robin mini prior. Not jobbing, but making the city safe while everyone else was occupied.

Which kind of makes sense truthfully for someone of Cass's skillset. Nezha couldn't incapacitate or maybe twist her like everyone else. So the next best thing is to keep her so busy that she doesn't have any time to do anything else.

At least what I'm going with by reading this.

The thing that fascinates me early on in Cass and Xanthe's team-up is how Cass calls the vampires one thing and Xanthe calls them and I love the editor's note here because I'm utterly clueless with it comes to Chinese mythology (save a few things).

I also love that Wong showing their knowledge of Cass knowing what to do due to being such a movie junkie (and I liked that this was brought up. The nod made me smirk cause it's been A WHILE since someone referenced Cass's old habits).

I also just love that this isn't the end of the story and that Xanthe, Cass, and John Constantine (a character Cass has barely any meetings of in canon, but had one out of it in DCeased).

There was SOOOO much of this story and the art by Haining gives us a nice expressive Cass. Again, I don't mind the white eyes when an artist makes them so expressive and Haining gives Cass some nice reactions throughout this tale.

Not to mention some nice fluidity in her move set too. Literally, the only negative I can say is how quickly the story ended and make me hunger for more. Thankfully we only have two more months before we get just that in Spirit World #1.

The premise in that, Xanthe/John in a quest to save Cass. I'm game for. Though I do hope we just see a character like Cass see the Spirt World thru her eyes. Cause body language and also for new readers this be a nice treat.

Plus the chance to see Cass actually struggle not have it be ooc? To learn something new? Yeah, I'm game for that.

The side bonus to all of this is we get a full-on tale by Alyssa Wong. No one part (ala Batman: Urban Legends #8) and a short (but amazing story in DC: Doomed & the Damned #1).  Just a full-on story Wong has with Cass and I'm all for that.

Though I am hopeful that maybe Batgirls can deal with this issue's fallout? I'm game for Babs/Steph to have an issue or more with them wondering where Cass is at? Or maybe Cass show up and have an editor's note (read Spirit World #1).

Just to give that nice bridge to both comics that Cass is in. Besides it gives us that moment with Steph to see her own thoughts when Cass is out of the picture (will she read Cass's letter?).

Not to mention see Babs' thoughts on handling what occurred with Steph in #15 and now Cass going on a crazy Spirit Adventure with others.

If you can't tell I really REALLY dug this story and can't wait for May for more of this.  It truly is a nice surprise to not only get a bonus mini that has Cass in it but is written by Alyssa Wong?

How do you think the game with Spirt is going to go? This could be a let down game for Gotham.

I don't know tbh. I hope they can keep the momentum going but you never know.

The Shadow Demon meets the Wizard

by I_go_by_Faith

Constantine had opened his eyes to the magical spectrum for a reason, a reason that was currently squeaking in the corner, as it played some incomprehensible game for small children on its tablet.

  Constantine braced himself and turned his gaze toward Batman.

  … he didn’t know what he had expected, but it wasn’t this.

Batman immediately recognized Danny as potentially a multiversal version of his dead son Jason as he looks like almost a dead ringer for how Jason would've looked like at his age. Tim, for his part, is certain this is Jason as it's not the first time he's summoned Danny. In fact, they only met after Tim kept trying to summon Jason's ghost.

DP X DC PROMPT BECAUSE FUCK SLEEPING I DON’T NEED OXYGEN

It’s a hard summoning. A horrible summoning. The very worst Constantine’s ever been part of, he was expecting a rough ride with an entity of this power but surely this is excessive?

The Ghost King has been known to accept deals for centuries, and yeah the terms are shit but the world is full on ending and the Justice League are out of better options

When the magic lashes out and takes Doctor Fate to his knees, he begins to doubt what they’re doing

Is this really the better option? Really? Sure, Pariah will take the souls of all their enemies into his army for conquest, but if it costs everyone anyway…

**

Danny wrapped arms, legs, and teeth around the telephone pole in Amity Park, growling against the pull

Of COURSE this had to happen three days after he made a joke about “being the only entity John Constantine hasn’t tried to sell his soul to” to Clockwork

He’s not fucking losing the bet about making it to the end of the week

[redrobin-detective]

Like the Outed!Au is compared to Marvel very similarly maybe due to the vein of how being a hero is bureaucratized and politized to a degree. So when the comparison came up my mind went to the home cities of the outed heroes fiercely and desperately standing with and defending their heroes. This due to the fact that in marvel our favorite web-head has always been protected, respected, and loved by the citizens New Year City in return b/c he has help the NYC community in many ways both big and small. Like in the comics Spiderman was about to publicly unmask himself cuz he was sick of being slandered and misrepresented in the media only to have the citizens of NYC come in full costumes and masks and unmasked themselves so when Peter does unmask as promised, you cant trust who was the real Spidey. Like I feel each city would try so hard to keep their heroes bc their heroes protected and cared for them when the gov. whos tracking them wouldn't or can't, in and out of mask. Like I feel Clark was one of the first heroes to exile themselves for safety and peace. At first Metropolis was sadden but resigned bc it got caught up in the thrall of the media frenzy of how can we trust these superpowered citizens to help us and who gave them the right to use the powers. The city only realized too late how intertwine Clark Kent was to Metropolis, from his stories exposing the police brutality and city corruption, that's now on the rise bc mild manner reporter is not there to expose the injustice Superman hears but has to overlook at the moment, to lowered charity work bc there's no one to talk you on your break or walk when u feel down about the state of the world to various small business employees feeling down bc that clumsy guy in a suit and slightly skewed glasses won't be coming ever again to lift your spirts with his antics or talks that always made their day. It comes to a point that city misses their mild mannered reporter that one day online all of the stories of how Clark Kent helped or interacted w/ various Metropolians popped up, only for them to realized how integral Clark Kent truly was to Metropolis, not only as Superman, and they mourn for that missing connection. So when you walk through Metropolis long after the big blue left it feels haunted and resigned even as they are at times visited by the man who left. Other cities with heroes see the tragedy of Metropolis and her hero and shutter at the though of being haunted and marked unsafe for heroes bc it lost not only their hero but their fellow community member. So when the feds from out of town come to the heroes' cities they are given a hard time by citizens misdirecting them, given malicious compliance by gov. workers from that city (Gotham in particular does this a lot), ignored, denied services ,yelled at, or even thrown things at. When reporters from out of town try to get their big piece by going after the younger heroes who may not have the pr training of older heroes and team leaders , they are soon mobbed by citizens of all ages surrounding the young hero just trying to get their food for lunch and told to fuck off in more ways than one. The cities circle the wagons for their heroes bc they are remind of how haunted Metropolis began when her hero left and decided they will show the love and loyalty their heroes showed them before it becomes to late.

Like I understand how heroes would leave the public after being outed and into their own society but at the same time i feel the people of their cities would say "So fuckin what? These people help us, to care of us, protected us, looked for the best in us, gave their all to us and we are not going to let them down when it matters the most." bc people are good and to me it fits the fantasy of superhero comics of if people had the power they would help others for good and in this universe the power of the everyday citizen is to help and protect their hero in return. (Sorry if this is too much and over bearing, I just love the scenario of everyday people helping superheroes in the small but impactful ways they can. And this Au has great potential in that.)

This is very cool and a huge chunk I don't know how to address so I will present your thoughts without commentary

[mewismagic]

I listened to last weeks podcast usually I don't cus the commentators can be a bit surface for me they don't usually use stats just eye ball assessments which I think is a bit lame for a CBS produced pod. I thought there Gotham assessment was a bit much, because I agree that Kristie can do more for Gotham and be that game changer but expecting anyone to do that in their first games with a team when they are having to play the Spirt and NCC, who are clearly going to be top teams this season, was a little ridiculous. I think their uswnt assesment was also weird bc as the other person's ask said she was defensive mid in the recent games and was also giving a lot to instruct Girma and Howell, so much so they talked about it during the broadcast. So good chance Vlatko didn't want her going forward and moving away from the younger players. It was a 9-0 game don't think they needed more attacking force. The only pod I usually take as unbiased and fact based is Equalizer but they’ve been on hiatus. 

yea doesn't sound like a podcast I would enjoy at all lol

When you gather all the facts it's pretty clear to see she's doing a good job but when you don't, it opens the door to this kind of nonsense.

i'm good with my lil' Soccer Over Gotham episode a week 😊

[jasontoddisasorceror]

Danny knows Billy from their childhood when they raised in the Todd family Billy as a foster child and Danny as the secretly kidnapped kid who was told his name is Jason Todd.

Sometimes.

Just sometimes.

Bruce, tired father of too many children, wished for a small break.

Just a tiny one.

He pinched his nose, cowl covering his head and expression and glared.

"I can't believe you snitched on me!" Billy batson, freshly revealed teen and sitting on his usual spot during meetings, hisses.

"If I have to get parented, so do you!" Danny fenton, also freshly revealed teenager, glared right back.

"Boys." Both their attention snapped to wonder woman, still tense and warry.

"Do you two have adult supervision, at least." Batman asks, feeling slightly more drained than before, he can feel Nightwing's stare at the back of his head, coming closer.

"Do the voices count?" Danny asks, to which Billy nodded. "Yeah, do they? Zeus has strong opinions, and many kids. He probably can parent, somewhat."

They shrugged both, like they hadn't just opened another whole can of questions.

"Wait!" Danny snapped his fingers, "what about clocky? He sends us on time missions, has his own lair, and lets us hang around. That counts? Right?"

The other teen nods in agreement.

(Knowing both are black haired and blue-eyed teens, he already knows Dick will never let him live this down. Deceived by children, for YEARS.)

(So much for being the greatest detective.)

(The text he sent to Alfred is between him and his butler dad.)

"Or—"

In the end, the two agreed reluctantly to stay around for a while. The Kents, the Allens, Diana, and the Waynes have opened up their homes to house them permanently.

Much their amusement, they declared, that to make no one jealous, they'd switch homes every other week or so.

That alone smelled like chaos.

Whatever, it was Diana's first week.

(And if the house of mysteries appeared in front of them sometimes, that's also between them and a very suffering John constantine.)

[justwosothings]

No but the most annoying thing is Gotham in their first five regular season games has to play Orlando, NCC and Spirt again and the only other teams they're playing are expansion teams. So it will take us another month to figure out where this team actually stand in comparison to the rest of the league. Like I don't think having to play the same teams over and over is helpful for a team trying to develop.

Yeah that’s true actually 🤦🏼‍♀️ Having to play the same teams over and over is not good. It’s not a good gage of anything because I feel like two games against the same team in a short period of time can go completely differently because the teams pick up on things about each other.

Its why I hate the fact Chelsea are playing Spurs twice in one week. I think it’s very hard to win twice against the same team in a sport period of time.

[riddleb9y]

rogue headcanons (bc I have a lot to share) p.2

mr. freeze is the dad of the group

penguin is the uncle who gives you a shot of rum because you're 9 and 'getting up there'

they make faces at eachother in group thearpy

for example:

joker: and i spend days thinking about batsy and-

harley and hatter: *trying to see who can lick their nose*

ivy and eiddler: *exchanging vaugely threating gestures*

the ice burg lounge gets boring once in a while, so they'll take over an ihop

some of them are just straight up useless in combat

like harley can kick ass but riddler's in the fetal position having an asthma attack

no one is allowed to fuck up halloween for scarecrow, n o o n e

they have matching hoodies

catwoman has played money money money by abba during a heist

whenever two face and batman face off they act like they're exes seeing eachother at the store, its really awkward

gotham elementry writes to mr. freeze for snow days

he gives in once a year, for the spirt

for fun, they'll add unessacery facts to their villian speeches to be annoying

ivy starts quoting enviormental stats

riddlers pulling out index cards

batman's identity is an inside joke for half of them

like oh yeah, batman blew up that building. wait whos paying the damage fees?! BRuCe WAynE?!??!?!?!

[spock-smokes-weed]

This panel is another reason why I think older Tim would feel differently about taking over for Bruce.

You could read what he’s saying a number of different ways, but the declaration “this is my city” feels very in line with the spirt of Batman, as he is the Guardian of Gotham. “What will I have to become” is another interesting line because he’s acknowledging the metamorphosis he’s made from this days as Robin, and how he will continue to change and evolve.

This coupled with the panel I showed before makes me think that if Tim were to pick up for Batman, he would want to change and evolve it, become something different than what Bruce and Dick were. I would agree that Robin Tim wouldn’t want to be Batman, but Tim changed through all of that grief. He dipped lower than Bruce and in knowing that darkness, can make Batman something more hopeful.

Tim is an optimist at heart, even if Red Robin made him a bit more cynical and jaded, but I think Batman needs someone who’s a bit more optimistic

I just think Tim is such a great legacy character and understand’s Bruce’s mission better than Bruce does. I mean Tim says himself he doesn’t mind standing in Bruce’s shadow, and that’s why for me personally I don’t feel like Tim needs to completely reinvent himself as his own hero. He found purpose in what Batman and Robin meant to Gotham and I think he would want to keep that legacy going once Bruce retires.

[jasontoddisasorceror]

Danny is so exited, it's been years since he's been back, and it looks like his mom (Lady Gotham) has managed to get more brothers and sisters. He's not sure how he feels about Batman, but he really wants to meet his siblings.

Prompt 33

 Danny has just recently been adopted by the city spirit Gotham, learning how to be a guardian-type spirit now that he’s old enough in ghost-years to leave his first-Haunt. It was supposed to be more of a mentor relationship, but well, he just seems to collect supernatural parental figures. 

 That’s not the problem! The problem is he’s just learned he has a living adopted sibling and nieces and nephews! He’s so behind on gifts for holidays and celebrations and they’re even vigilantes like he was! So he leaves them little trinkets he thinks they’ll like and lil notes to help them with whatever they’re working on, because he wants to be a good brother and uncle!

 Meanwhile the batclan are freaking out because something is apparently getting in both the cave and the manor and leaving them things, several of which are incredibly magically dangerous apparently.
