Random Shit Go!

(Danny phases through the Batcave ceiling holding a glowing smoothie.)

Danny: Hey dad, hey grandpa. Raven says if you keep stress-brooding you’re gonna throw your back out by age fifty-two.

Batman: … Damian: … Batman: Explain.

Danny: Oh right. Hi. I’m Danny. I’m your future grandson from, like, twenty years ahead. Mom sent me back because dad accidentally started an interdimensional incident trying to prove he could “totally beat Constantine in a magic duel.”

Damian: I would never— Danny: You absolutely would. I have video proof.

Batman: Raven is the mother?

Danny: Yeah. You guys were terrifyingly in love. Whole “darkness and violence but secretly soft for each other” thing. Really gross honestly.

Damian: Father, destroy him.

Danny: Can’t. Genetic immunity. Also grandma Talia already tried.

Batman: …Talia knows?

Danny: Oh yeah. She loves me. Calls me “the tolerable Wayne.”

Damian: I despise this timeline.

Danny: That’s okay. Mom said you’d say that. Dad cried when I inherited her empathy and your anger issues though.

Batman: already opening the contingency files

Danny: Don’t bother. I inherited ghost powers from a lab accident too.

SPOILER WARNING FOR RGU & WHA

✨✨ Shakuyaku✨✨🚬🐍🖤

Yes and he probably doesn't know X'D Poor guy. At least he gets to know them already and it's possible that Crocodile and/or Mihawk know about the Shanks and Buggy drama, so they assume Buggy is going to be part of their family one day.

(Though now I'm pondering at what point Mihawk and Crocodile might have found out about Shanks being their sibling. In the Rocks Twins AU, Crocodile only finds out after Marineford. But it's possible that Mihawk finds out earlier? He lived in Mariejois for years, he must have met Shamrock during that time.)

The other option is marrying one of Rocks' handsome sons.

Or he can die and Crocodile can become Emperor in his stead. :3
