#the next big arc if he ever gets to it is Jason's return gala

Little idea I had

~~~~~~~~~~

“So what do you do for fun that isn't shown in the TV series anyway?” Tim asks after we finish watching the first season of my show. why he is making me watch my awkward hero beginnings with Nightwing and Batman in the same room I have no clue.

Then the question hit me, and I blush hard as the urge to keep my embarrassing secret from Robin, wars with my urge to be truthful as possible to the boy who helped shape who I am and put me on the Hero's path once my accident happened.

Being truthful won, and I hesitantly say, "I write Batman Fanfiction on Archive. My work is pretty popular too. I mostly write Titan Tower AU and stories where you join the Batfamily early though. Granted I can't update as much as I used too because of the ghost attacks." I end with a shrug.

Tim gains a look his eye that tells me he's planning something. "You can still update them even with the media blackout in Amity?"

I nod, "I don't think the GiW even knows what Fanfiction is so it was never blocked. In fact..." I snort back a laugh, "I was planning to release this one shot Titans Tower AU where ol Boxy shows up and messing up all of brainwashed Jason's plans, after I finished exploring the Ghost Zone. But of course I got stuck in Gotham instead."

Tim brusts out laughing, "The Box Ghost loose in Titans Tower," Tim say though the piers of laughter, "I can imagine the chaos that would bring, though how did you plan on ending that encounter in your story."

"Boxy leaving on his own to bother some other poor people."

"You should have totally given yourself a cameo in your story, Boxy is one of your Rogues after all. Plus it pulls into my next point you should use you fans to bring up support for abolishing the 'anti-ecto acts' and get the truth of what's going on in Amity out there."

"Aaaaaa, slight issue I may have written a vent fic where Jason can back as a halfa instead well his whole thing as Red Hood as a way to deal with my emotions after the accident and if I reveal the Amity stuff my fans might realize I'm Phantom and likely Half-Ghost like Jason in that fic is..."

"Aaa, well not the end of the world if people find out your only Half-Ghost so long as you don't drop hints to your human side??? Ow! What was that for??"

With my finger still glowing from sending a week ecto-blast at Tim, I deadpan, "Just making sure you aren't possessed, because I can't honestly believe the second most paranoid Bat just told me, the hero that mostly utilizes the Clark Kent effect to keep my secret identity, secret to purposely break said effect????"

"Clark Kent effect?" Tim asks confused

"You know Superman is an alien who lives and the Fortress of Solitude why would he have a secret identity? So no one looks for it. It's the same with me. Phantom's a ghost he's dead why would he have a secret identity of some alive kid? Probably the biggest reason why my incomplete pallet swap works so well... And I can get away with the name pun."

"You know that explains a lot on why uncle Clark gets away with just wearing fake glasses."

"I know right??? It just makes so much sense it also explains why Bruce figured it out so fast, he just never feel into the same mental trap as everyone else. Which btw Bruce don’t encourage Clark to put on a mask it would break the effect for him because why wear a mask unless he has something to hide?”

“So you can’t put on a mask either?” Tim asks

“No I think so long as I change enough of my outfit people would just think I was settling into the common superhero perception, because heroes wear masks right? How is that project going anyway?” I ask

“Badly we know what we want to do but we can’t find a way to apply it just yet. I have a few ideas though” Tim says with frustration in his voice

“You guys will figure it out you’re the Bats!” I chirp

“Danny, we’re still human and we make mistakes.” 

“I know but in the comics so long as it doesn’t deal with the family’s emotional constipation everything your family puts their mind too gets solved eventually.”

“These kind of conversations will always be a little weird. But even given your surprisingly healthy coping mechanism to deal with your lab accident trauma you should be fine so long as you imply you help Phantom instead of being Phantom, and maybe imply that Halfas are a Legend you heard Phantom taking about after a Ghost Fight that you took inspiration from. Lord knows its believable, because Gothamites are down right stupid with villain attacks and I know Parkers are just as bad from the show.” Tim says patting my back

“I’ll think about it, if only because I’m afraid that Amity Park would get tourists trying to visit the one city with a irl Superhero and I have enough problems trying to keep the natives safe during an attack.” I say bringing up the remote to start season two and a fresh notebook for notes on I what I could do better, though I find myself wincing at the title card. Not Sam’s best moment, like at all. And having to experience the accident twice? Not fun

“Fuck Tourists honestly, I still question Outsiders sanity for deciding to visit Gotham or even Blüdhaven of all places for a chance to see heroes in action. Go to Star city or Metropolis for that, not here” Dick pops into the conversation hovering over the couch Tim and I are sitting on.

“Hey Dick, How are the plans for bring Jason home once he gets to Gotham coming along?” I ask looking up to stare at his face

“Pretty good I’ll say, though I don’t know why we can’t search for him early.” 

“I mean you probably could but right now he is in the clutches of the League of Assassins and I have no idea if he has even been put in the pit yet? Plus going after Jason now could get Damian in trouble.” I say with a shrug

“Who’s Damian?” Dick asks

“Oh fuck, I forgot to tell you about Damian Wayne the son of Talia al Ghul and Batman over there” I say pointing at Bruce who is bent over a laptop and paper likely going over plans to bring Jason home as soon as possible. “Was just so focused on Jason’s impending return to Gotham that other important bits of the timeline fell to the wayside. Let me explain” In the end Tim and I wasn’t able to get into Season 2 of my show that night as I get into what I remember of the tail end of the currently released comics so far.

A more fleshed out Idea, The Danny Phantom TV show exists in the DC universe, and the verses DC media exist in the DP universe. One Day after exploring the GZ Danny falls into Gotham in front of Tim who is a long time Phan since he was stalking Vigilantes on rooftops taking photos. Both sets of media are past the "present" for both universes

There is a bit of confusion and some panicking because both of them realize Danny is stuck for a while when the portal he falls through closed behind him, and Danny doesn't want to end up adopted by Batman. (To bad someone has to take care of him while he's stuck it might as well be the Waynes)

For maximum Chaos have the DP timeline either before Reality Trip or before the Episode with the Ghost King and for the DC timeline a few months before Jason's debut as the Red Hood and I'm thinking Comics wise Danny's universe the Red Robin series just came out making Tim Danny's Robin, though Danny gained a massive attachment to Jason in resent mouths because he can identify with the whole dying thing after his accident. Though he still thinks Titans Tower was way to much, but he has recently got a few headcanons on why Jason was so mentally off because of his new experiences with ghosts.

A few more things that might happen, Titan Tower gets averted thanks to Danny's foreknowledge and Danny's eagerness to test a few headcanons of his on the basically brainwashed Jason mostly testing whether or not pit water is actually the same thing as ectoplasm or not in the hope to bring him back to his senses sooner. Danny is not going to let the miscommunication happen here if he can and will definitely stop the batarang to the throat thing from happening if he can. Batman helps him train and tries to figure out how to change Danny's ghost outfit because it's definitely possible Vlad did not get blasted with the vampire knock off outfit on(mainly because Bruce has aready mentally adopted this child and wants him to have better defenses then the suit he already died in twice thanks to memory blank). And tries to figure out how to bring Danny home... hopefully without using a Ghost portal because Gotham does not need Ghosts on top of everything else.

I fully respect Danny’s “yeah i dont like how the writers made this im going to fix it” and just full sending on it. This is a wonderful idea homie. Danny having the foreknowledge and doing his best to help The Bats while also trying to not be noticed by the entire JL
