Grace makes a shocking discovery
This came to me in a vision and I simply must share it immediately.
Eva Stratt doesn't go to jail for the things she did during the creation of the Hail Mary. She doesn't go to jail because she forced Ryland Grace aboard the ship against his will. No, she can't. She has diplomatic immunity concerning anything to do with the project.
What she goes to jail for, is releasing Ryland Grace's full video logs to the public after the World Government Leaders decide to try to edit and bury them.
She lets them put handcuffs on her, lets them carry her off to spend the rest of her life behind bars because she refuses to let the memory of Ryland Grace, the man who saved Earth (and Erid) be tainted. She's a historian, and this is her way of making sure the man she betrayed gets his story put into record properly.
It's the least she can do for him, after all she forced him to do.
Random DpxDc Idea
Talia made another Damian Clone and send him to Gotham for the usual reason. Except that Danny, who is Damians friend because the plot requires it, runs into the clone first and mistakes him for Damian at first. Danny greets the clone with a hug, and a bright, friendly smile. Its the first good touch, and speck of kindness the clone has ever felt and he becomes instantly attached to Danny. Of course, when 'Damian' didn't try to stab Danny for hugging him, like he usually does, Danny realises the clone isn't Damian, and pulls away but the clone just grabs his arm and holds on tight. Danny decides to just go with it, because of course he does.
Danny: So what's your name?
Clone: ....
Danny: Its probably Damian like your template, or you just don't have one. That's okay, let's think of something else for you. Come on there's a really good diner around the corner. Are you vegetarian too? I'm pretty sure they have vegetarian options.
Anyway Danny and the Clone(who does decide on a name but I'm lazy and can't think of one so you can think of one yourself) end up spending the day together. Mostly its Danny chattering away while the clone just listens and hums and stares at Danny like this: 🥺 all day. Danny brings him home and let's the clone stay with him for the night and totally forgets to tell Damian about him until the next day while hes making them pancakes.
Danny, texting Damian: Oh yeah! I met one of your clones yesterday! Hes staying with me for a bit! He picked the name *inster name*!
Damian, crashing in through Danny's window 3.5 seconds later wielding a sword: Where is it?!
Danny: Damian, thats rude. *inster name* uses he/him pronouns.
Clone, still clinging to Danny's side: *narrows his eyes at Damian and hugs Danny closer while sneakily sticking his tongue out at Damian*
Damian: It- He has not attacked you?
Danny: Nah, I think he imprinted when I hugged him. Didn't even try to stab me, so actually he's less attacky than you.
Damian: I . . . see*. . . Carry on then I suppose.
*Does not see at all. But the clone doing something as childish as sticking his tongue out at him, as opposed to Talia's typically approved methods of attempted murder, suggests that somehow the LoA programming is already falling through.
Damian gets a bit annoyed at Danny for hanging out with his clone “instead” of him (he’s not it’s just Damian is a bit uncomfortable with clones of himself after last time and has thus been avoiding him) So he does then the “logical” thing and seeks out one of Danny’s clones to hang out with to get back at him.
Except that its Danny and he 100% doesn't mind.
Who does mind? Dani. Because, while she loves Danny, she's not gonna play jealousy bait while Damian pouts, also she knows Danny doens't care anyway(if anything he would be happy some of his favorite people get along). So Dani does the rational thing and: annoys the ever loving crap out of Damian until re realises his mistake.
He then tries Dan, Danny's evil future half self turned aggressive older brother, but Dan has a super short fuse, even if hes gotten a bit better, so pretty much all Dan and Damian do is argue/fight all the time. And its not even the fun fighting, this is brutal, bone deep hatred fighting.
Damian walks away from the experience reminded that Clones are not a 1 to 1 of their original personality wise, and that Danny is the only one out of the three he can actually get along with. So now Danny just has Damian and Clone superglued to his sides 90% of the time.
I just got the mental image of Damian just venting abut Danny qnd the Clone and Dani just:
"Oh he is doing the same thing he did to me"
Damian: explain.
Danni: Desprograming him via beging kind and a parental figure.
Damian: oh..
Then latter wherever they find a new clone of any of the JL or asosiated Robin just calls Danny with a: i have a new one for you.
Damian now is the proud other parental figure of 3 clones.
After a reveal gone wrong, Danny must flee Amity Park. Since Jazz is busy playing damage control with the parents, Dan becomes Danny's guardian as they start their new life in Gotham.
I can see so much chaos from this. Like Dan gets a job and is known as that guy who's barely hanging on by a thread and is one dropped ice cream come away from going rogue. (Him being a gang member is great and all but imagine him doing something completely innocuous, like this deranged unit of a man who works as like a baker something and all his coworkers are like 'yeah, he's kind of awkward but he's a big sweetheart' as Dan foams at the mouth like a rabid animal)
And everyone is convinced Danny is the normal one bc he's so polite, if a bit snarky, and despite complaining a bit he never hesitates to help out; though he's so small and everyone's worried that Gotham’s criminals will eat him up. Until someone actually attacks when Danny is at the bakery and Danny just fully goes into Goblin Mode™️ as Dan holds him back (They're partially the same person after all, Dan may have lost a lot of his humanity after the merge with Vlad but he was still Danny Fenton who grew up fighting his meals and had a very skewed idea of normality).
So everyone comes to know them as the absolutely feral siblings who shouldn't be upset if you could avoid it and things settle down. For a while.
When their sister shows up people are wary but she seems to be a voice of reason. Then she gets a job as a psychological intern at Arkham, causing people to treat her as carefully as possible. (Davy who works at a dive bar once saw Jazz Fenton beat a would be attacker with a bo staff until Red Robin had to pull her off of him, also if she goes rogue no one is convinced her brothers won't fully back her up).
Then the littlest one comes and she's a whole different problem. Riddler once kidnapped her and no one is sure what happened but he turned himself into Blackgate and hasn't been seen since.
The bats deciding to leave them in their enrichment closure as that is the safest thing for Gotham as a whole. Lovely.
Just, Dan the towering Tank who can and will destroy anyone is he needs to, Danny who is slowly growing into his height, but is still all elbows and knees right now. Be careful, he bites. Then the ladies. Jazz, lovely, polite, charming. Scary as shit. If she goes villain the REST will follow. Oh god's be nice! Ellie. Feral little gremlin child. She seems to be able to get into everything. Everyone knows her. She made friends with Killer Croc. And her siblings are just, cool with that apparently.
Red Robin has a conspiracy board. It is over flowing. How are they so... urgh! Just!!!!!!!!!! Steph and Cass look at the board and diagnose him with a crush on Danny.

Also! I like the idea of Danny getting antsy if he goes too long without a fight. Hes used to fighting practically everyday and all of a sudden he's not having to anymore which means he now has *e n e r g y* (which is why Dan always looks one insult away from beating people up. he has to spend *his* energy on wearing out the other one) and Danny doesn't really know what to do with it.
I can see him getting involved in underground fights, or maybe accidently starting one of his own, just for funzies-to burn energy and whatnot. Or maybe just going up to people in the neighborhood and asking if they want to spar. At first - various criminals see it as a way to make easy money (beat the kid, take his money) but then he wins.every.time. and is still bouncing and rearing to go while they're on the ground d exhausted and Danny's all "that was fun! Same time next week?" And word gets around and now if anyone is looking for a spar they know where to go.
This is how the bats are introduced to their family (and where damian's crush is born).
Then Sam and Tucker turn up one day.
You can't tell me they wouldn't follow after.
Sam and Ivy get along to well for everyones comfort (Sam has plant powers?) Thankfully Poison Ivy has calmed down after getting with Harley.
Sam also has join forces with Damian. They will sometimes convince the others to help them in whatever they have come up with.
Tucker, Oracle and Tim started a three way hacker battle. They have now join forces and whoever causes more damage and chaos to GIW wins. They have a list each for possible rematch targets. (Magic/Techopath/Pharoah Tucker)
The Batfam are unsure whether they should, or even have the ability, to intervene.
Batman saw the two new teens who moved in and shuddered. At this point he might HAVE to step in. The kids are way too competent and wary for there not to be a story there. Sadly, as they live in one of the poorer areas. Jason gets there first. And just, mind goes blank. Big strong hulk of a man. All of the family are feral? So is he. He can be unhinge, see! He can totally be unhinged! Please think I'm pretty!
And he loves the teens. Absolute nutters all of them. They are great! He gives them all the chance to go up against his goons. Look. The kids need to burn energy somehow. And his goons could use the exercise! The fact it leaves him to spar their eldest brother... is neither here nor there. Shut up B. He's doing his job. Honest.
Batman: Jason. I asked you for *intel* and you gave me *grandkids*.
Jason and Dan:
Jason: Nah! They are my siblings in law! Dan is just their guardian cause their parents are shite!

Jason Has A Type
Everyone knows it.
Bruce knows it. The rest of the batfam knows it. Hell, even Jason is aware but doesn't want to admit it.
When it comes to romance, he has a type. Each one either has tried to kill him or isn't completely human.
So, when it came out that Jason gained a new boyfriend, bets and theories among the family began ranging from how long it would last and if this one was a meta to if the boyfriend was Kryptonian, a clone, or someone from the LOA. Other than the seemingly lack of information and the whole adoption bait look, Jason's boyfriend was a regular civilian. A college student from somewhere in Illinois that's double majoring in astronomy and engineering at Gotham University.
Was he running from something based on how jumpy he is and how too clean his record was? Most likely but other than that he cared for Jason as much as they could tell from snooping.
After months of ignoring and avoiding the snooping and pleading from the batfam, Jason just wanted to end the theories and bets once and for all, so he invited Danny to family dinner at the manor. Everything was going fine.
Until Danny's eyes flashed a toxic green as a stray knife from Damian went through his shoulder and he simply moved over in his seat, the knife embedded into the chair.
It was almost a Lazarus green.
Money traded hands and all hell broke loose.
Okay, I'm so sorry. But what if Danny didn't?
What if Jason told Danny that they were going to do stupid tests? What if Danny got tired of their bullshit. Especially as it put Jason in danger? He knows that Jason is like him and will recover quickly, but Danny's a protective spirit. And he's so fucking done. So, like usual, he goes for the bit that will traumatize everyone.
He lets the knife pierce his shoulder. He looks wide eyed and confused, until his eyes land on the blade and blow out.
"Oh. Uh-ummmm..... heh.... what the fuck is wrong with all of you?" And passes out.
Danny has gotten really good at controlling the speed of his pulse and breathing too. Technically he doesn't need to do either. He just does it to maintain the appearance of humanity.
Danny looks down at the knife in his shoulder with wide eyes turning to look at the batfam with wide scared eyes "What's wrong with all of you?" Dramatically falls over ontop of the knife making rhe injury intentionally worse and starts to slow his breathing and heartrate. As well as letting his ghostly nature slowly turn him paler and make his skin grow colder. If he really wants to go far he can make his breath give off a death rattle. It works similarly to how he accesses his wail only when he's in human form and more closed off. Just really full blown scare the absolute shit out of them.
But ya know, if he wanted to do maximum emotional damage, the best response to that is not, “ what is wrong with you?” but rather, “what did I do to hurt you?”
Because, a normal, is slightly inhuman person would not spend their final moments giving a judgmental response, but rather a confused and scared response. Why? Why did you do this? Why do you hate me? Why did you hurt me? Why are you killing me?
That. That would cause the most trauma.
That would put the crushing guilt and soul-deep terror into their hearts and burn into their minds forever. It would break them. Sure Danny would be fine in the end, but if he wants to live in a safe and loving environment it’s gotta be non-hostile first. And with Damian in the house? Stabbing Danny on a whim? And nobody stopping him? No. Trauma is given where trauma is due to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
Cuz based on op’s comment about his jumpiness and paranoia, I think this should be a “Danny is hiding from the GIW” au where his parents know he is Phantom and are apologizing for their mistakes by sending him away somewhere safe so they can take care of the evil government agency trying to re-kill their baby.
Nothing like some good trauma bonding to fix a toxic relationship. Or so Danny says.
Later that day:
Jazz, yelling through the phone: “Traumatizing your future in-laws into loving you is not healthy Danny!”
Danny: “Well I did it to Mom and Dad when I told them about being a halfa, and look at them now! Fully supportive and fully protective!”
Everything was fine.
Everyone was talking and even laughing while eating Alfred's delicious cooking. It seemed like everyone at the table had accepted Jason's new boyfriend and was having a good time!
Danny knew better.
Jason had warned him, even before he told his family about him, that they make assumptions.
And they loved confirmation.
So much so that they're willing to create the conditions to get them.
So Danny wasn't at all surprised by the atmosphere subtly warping with the 'subtle' glances of those around the table.
Just as he wasn't surprised when the youngest threw a knife at him.
Now, he could have done a lot.
Become intangible, stop the knife with telekinesis, dodge, or simply intercept it.
He decided that if his boyfriend's family wanted to play for high stakes, they should know they could lose.
He let the knife sink into his shoulder.
Just once, I want Danny to spout off something that he’s clearly heard from Jazz and then cringe at it.
Jason: “Just gotta wait until the Stockholm Syndrome kicks in!”
Danny: “Actually, that is a phony diagnosis created by a sexist psychiatrist who saw a hostage situation on TV and decided that the woman, in fight-flight-fawn mode, was in love with the man waving a gun at h-"
Jason: *raises eyebrow*
Danny, realizing: "Oh, you meant it as a joke… Ancients, I sounded like Jazz there.” *shudders*
Dick, exasperated: “Monkey see, monkey do, after all…”
Danny, eating a snack: "Actually, monkeys mimic behavior as a form of communication and survival, while the so-called Chameleon Effect is influenced by a desire to fit in and be liked by the people around us. It's also influenced by a part of the brain that certain- *pauses* *pushes snack away* And that was super fucking weird to bring up all of a sudden, sorry, what were we talking about?" *face screwed up in disgust*
Dick: *is just amused*
Damian, angry enough to turn red: "-I will eviscerate you so much that even your mother would be disgusted by your incompetent-"
Danny, off to the side and kinda zoned out: "Did you know that excess violence in teenagers, while typically attributed towards early childhood development by those around the teenager, is almost always caused by their current situation and a feeling of estrangement, lack of control, or- wow, yea, okay, I'm shutting up now, I just realized what I sounded like. Uegh."
Damian, suddenly calm: "You bring up a valid point, Daniel. Come, make your argument in front of father. Please."
Tim: "I'll sleep when I'm dead; for now, there's coffee."
Jason: "That shit stunts your growth, pipsqueak."
Danny: "That was actually debunked. What coffee does do is it blocks your adenosine receptors and enhances your dopamine signaling, increasing your mood and motivation as well as enhancing your memory, and then it also improves your attention and alertness. However, it also increases your anxiety and sleep disturbances, which can mess up your memory consolidation and brain recovery." *makes a disgusted face* *shudders* *takes a sip of an energy drink* "Anyways, ignoring all that nonsense that I'm definitely ignoring that I've accidentally memorized, sleeping when you're dead is also a myth. I would know." *chugs energy drink*
Tim, despairing with a tight grip on his coffee: "Nooo, I was relying on that!"
Bruce: You see that reporter of there?
Danny: The one with the glasses?
Bruce: Yes. His name is Clark Kent. He can be trusted.
Danny: Okay. *Writes note down* What about the woman next to him?
Bruce: That's Cat Grant, and no, she can't be trusted. Everything you say to her will turn into a gossip-lifting, life-ruining article.
Danny: Got it. *writes more notes*
Jason, watching the two from a few feet away: Say, who's that kid Bruce is media training? Is he a new ward he took in?
Tim: No, that's Danny Fenton, the face of Fenton Works. They signed up as a sub-company of Wayne Enterprise. Originally, they were a paranormal investigation and capture company- yes, I mean ghost hunters- but it was discovered that almost all thier tech can be used on metas. Bruce wants to make medical equipment that can be used by our enhanced citizens.
Jason: I see. But why a kid so young? He's your age, right?
Tim: Hmm, apparently his parents, the owners of Fenton Works, made him CEO so they could focus on ghost hunting and the occasional meta medical machines for Bruce. He got here a week ago to shadow me for CEO training, and Bruce stole him after they met outside my office. Danny hangs onto his every word, and I think Bruce forgot what it was like to have a kid actually listen to him.
Jason: Ah thats makes sense. What do you think of him?
Tim: Well, he's a little naive, easy to trick, and has way too much empathy for the cold world of business. I'm gonna have him in my bed.
Jason: Ah....well that took a turn. One I do not like so I'm gonna....*walks away*
Tim: He will be ✨️mine✨️
Bruce overhears everything from the bugs he planted on his kids: Danny, go ahead and change Tim's status. He can not be trusted.
Jason: I allowed you to come with me under one condition. Don't forget that condition.
Dick: I know, I know. I'm not allowed to date your friend.
Jason: I mean it, Dick. You have a weakness for red heads and Jazz-
Dick: -Is not looking for a relationship or situationship. I know. You said so at least ten times on the way over here. Come on Jay, have a little faith.
Jason: Alright. Just be cool. *opens door* and welcome to Jazz's Bookshelve. The best place to read and listen to slow jazz.
Dick: *whistles* You weren't kidding when you said this place had a cool theme. But is that shelve all the books they have?
Jason: Nope. I told you the front part was a Coffee shop styled like a bar for a reason. This was a speakeasy back in the 1920s, and behind that bookshelf is the entrance, which leads down into the speakeasy, which is what they turned into the bookshop. The live jazz band plays down there too.
Dick: Very nice. Whoever thought about the idea was a genius
Danny behind the bar: Thank you for the compliment. I'll let Jazz know someone loved her idea today.
Dick: ....
Jason: Hey Danny!
Danny: Hey Jay, back again for another drink and a speakeasy read?
Jason: You know it. By the way, the man frozen in place like a idiot is my older brother. Dick this is Danny Fenton, the owner's brother and my friend.
Danny: Nice to meet you.
Dick:.....
Danny: He doesn't talk much, does he?
Jason: No, he does. A lot Normally he be a chatter box. The only time he freezes is when- Oh come on! I told you the condition!
Dick: He doesn't count! You said the redhead! Not the cute barista!
Danny: Cute barista? Thank you. I try.
Jason: I can't believe you. This is junior high all over again! Stop flirting with my friends!
Dick: *gasp* I don't flirt with your friends! They flirt with me!
Danny: Can't blame them.
Jason: No! Et tu Danny!? ET TU?
Rocky: Grace, I have noticed that you often give ambiguous answers to straightforward queries. Is this a general human trait, question?
Grace: Well, uh… yes, but also no.

DPxDC Prompt
Danny is on the run, having to abandon Amity park and everyone he knows. Luckily, Sam, Tucker and him made plans for this, Sam put some money aside and set up safe houses, Tucker forged him a new identity and a paper trail and Danny closed down the portal permanently.
So no more Daniel Fenton, Danyal Nightingale was on his way to Gotham with the bare necessities and an untraceable backstory.
The only issue, is the Wayne’s keep mistaking him for their youngest member, Damian. By the time he drilled it into their heads he wasn’t Damian, they still won’t leave him alone, asking all sorts of invasive questions they aren’t even being as subtle as they thing they are.
AU in which Damian had a twin brother named Danyal who died when they were 5. Danny isn’t that twin, but he looks a little too much like Damian for the batfam to believe him and his ecto corrupted his DNA beyond recognition so he can’t even prove it. Add to that he has a paper trail that the bats recognize as forged, a good forgery, but a forgery non the less. Daniel Fenton has been wiped from all digital record, and all paper records thanks to Desiree. It looks like Damian’s record, raised cut off from the world without a paper trail and having to build one up from nothing. To the bats it seems like Danyal death was faked and grew up separated from Damian in another base, but somehow escaped the assassin life given he seems to have forgotten his league training.
Danny would eventually snap and just stare at them.
“What is it you think you know about me? Huh! You are not being subtle so get it out and then Fuck off!”
He glared at them, with his back straight and arms crossed. Looking eerily like Damian when he was angry. The difference was in his eye and posture. He was ready to avoid and evade not attack. His eyes tracking their subtle movements to ensure he wouldn’t be attacked.
Damian breathed out harshly and nodded.
“ I. Had a twin called Danyal. He was killed when we were 5. Or, I thought he was. but… You look just like me. Like him. ”
Danny ran a hand down his face.
“Oh for Fuck sakes. No. I’m not your twin. I had to run away from my parents because they tried to kill me. They have government sponsors. So going to the police would have ended badly. Now would you leave me alone?”
The group all looked to Cass who nodded. So, he at least believed he was telling the truth. But the lack of previous identity was exceptionally hard to manage. There was no way a teen without help could manage that.
Bruce cleared his throat.
“ How can you be sure you weren’t adopted?”
Danny groaned in disbelief.
“You don’t believe me. Or, well, you think you know the truth. And don’t want to believe you’re wrong. You want me to be your Danyal. But! Even if I was. I don’t have those memories. And I don’t have any attachment to you. Why would I care? ”
That took them all back a bit. It was Dick who tried next.
“Would you not want to get to know us?”
Danny just scoffed and rolled his eyes.
“ why would I? You’ve been harassing me for no good reason? Digging into my past? Asking intrusive questions that have nothing to do with any of you? Why would I put myself into a situation where I had to live with that at any point? Now. I’ve indulged your curiosity. Leave. ”
They could see the way his body moved as if readying for a fight to break out. They backed off. Damian the least willing. He stared, and could see Danyal would not be moved. So he left a card with his phone number on the side table.
Danny sighed as they finally left. Fuck him! He was gonna have to move wasn’t he? Shit where else was safe? At least he could use the secured site to talk to Sam and Tucker. They’d have ideas right?
In the cave the family were… Dejected for lack of a better word.
Bruce: He doesn’t believe us.
Dick: And seems… Wary? Of us?
Jason just snorted. And shrugged. He could understand the kid.
“Well yeah. His parents, the ones he knew anyways tried to kill him. I wouldn’t trust anyone either dumbass”
Cass just nodded and pointed to Jason signalling he was right.
Damian was in the corner brooding up a storm. Maybe.. Maybe he was wrong? He, could ring Talia? No, that might put him in danger. Tim was at the computer still trying to find any trace of a previous identity. But could find nothing. He slammed his coffee back and twirled around to speak.
“Ok! So! Few options. One! He is Danyal Al Ghul, but lost all his memories and was adopted by less than stellar adults! ”
He pulled out a board and started to make a list.
“Two! He is somehow a clone that was just raised by those parents for mad science reasons! Or three! He’s telling the truth and just happens to look eerily like Damian!”
Bruce rubbed at his temples trying to get rid of his headache.
“ Even if it is option three we should still help him!”
Jason just booed him, before sitting up a bit.
“Nah. He’s what 16? 17? Ya gotta earn his trust. And you’ve already fucked up by being pushy fucks. If he’s had parents he loved and trusted and they’ve tried to kill him. He ain’t gonna trust another adult. And Damian wants him to be his Danyal. Which this Danyal can sense. So he’s out. Cass he won’t trust cause she sees too much. Dick he blew up at massively. Me? Nope. Tim and Steph are the best bet. And let’s be real, it’s Steph who would work best. But she won’t want to ruin the show. And she’ll respect that he told y'all to Fuck off. So. Tim it is! Duke won’t work cause he can’t lie for shit yet. Bless! ”
Tim grimaced a bit at that outline. Thought it over and then groaned.
“No! No! I refuse! I’m not doing that shit to him. Cause I get the feeling if I did, and the rest of you fucked it up? He’d never trust me again.”
Cass hummed for a second, clearly thinking and then nodded.
Dick slumped a bit in his seat.
“ But! He needs help! ”
Cass snorted and shook her head.
Tim leaned over to give her a high five.
“Yeah about that. He clearly had help setting up. That ID? Been around since before it was in use. It owns houses in several cities? And has money. Like, a decent amount. He can afford college and a gap year kinda money. He does not need help. You want him to. Because then he has to give in. ”
Alfred cleared his throat to get everyone’s attention.
“Perhaps. In this case. It would be wiser to leave the young man alone? While I dislike the thought of it. Well. He knows where we are of he needs us. Pushing too far will lead to him running. ”
Can you imagine being stuck in space completely alone with only the corpses of your friends for company, and the first living thing you meet after 46 years of that misery is a fucking weird alien creature who just rolls up with crazy advanced tech and goes "hi let's work together" and makes it possible for you to save your world through the power of friendship and molecular biology. AND THEN you find out that in this creature's language, its name means "mercy". Happened to my good friend Rocky btw
And then, after you both suffer near death to save two planets and each other and succeed, you part ways. Then your ship goes derelict and you scramble to save the mission. Nothing works. You’re stranded in space with the key to save your people and you can’t do anything about it and you’re going to die here, all alone, again, because your friend went out to save Earth, and you can’t turn around to warn him. He could be derelict out there too. Both of you are doomed.
And then your alien buddy “Compassionate Love for the Unworthy” rocks up out of the nothingness AGAIN to save you. He figured it out and came back for you. Don’t forget that in the book Rocky is calling him the Eridian word for “grace” the whole time.
DpxDc Idea
Danny moves to Gotham and buys an apartment building.
It was more just a fun project for him to fix up the building, seeing as how after he took over VladCo, and cleaning up operations, Danny was making more money than ever, even after donating to various charities. So yeah, he was bored and just wanted to get his hands dirty and personally repair the appartments.
Once everything was fixed up, he opened the appartments for rent. He didn't really want to charge people, especially in such an area as Crime Alley, but not charging someone rent is way more sketchy than just asking them to pay whatever they could or wanted to. He ended up just setting the money aside to use on the appartments should it need any upgrades or repairs. He doesn't only take money either, while he denies "physical" payments and/or narcotics, he'll take lessons, like the man in 2B teaching him to sew, or the woman in 5A teaching him how to cook, or the two kids who give him very interesting shiny rocks as payment, there was even a few people who paid by cleaning the appartment building's shared places. One teenager paid rent one month by giving Danny a pair of sickly black and white kittens they found outside(they're named Casper, and Specter, and they're the Building's Managers in Pest Apprehension, and Danny loves them).
Because the appartments are so close to where the working girls/boys run, they make up most of his tenants, so Danny asks them to not bring clients back to the apartments, its dangerous to let their clients know where they live, especially because there are other tenants, including children, in the building so its a safety risk. They all agree, they don't really want their clients knowing where they live anyway.
Some do get stalkers though, and Danny is quick to get rid of them. Or when burglars manage to break in, Danny stops them before they can take anything, and if he managed to miss the burglar, he'll personally replace whatever was stolen until they could get the original stuff back. (Maybe he should adopt a gaurd dog, at least for the intimidation factor. Cane Corso's are medium sized*, hes sure he could get away with getting something like that. Something to think about later.)
A lot of his tenants say Danny is really kind, but thats not how Danny sees it, and its something he loudly denies. He's a bored rich person who was taking advantage of his wealth. Him providing them a safe place to live, and a little bit of comfort isn't kindness, its basic human decency. He's not some saint who is doing this of his own kind heart, he's a normal guy who was bored and just decided to do something helpful opposed to harmful, and he shouldn't be praised for that.
Kids gang - DP x DC really short prompt
Jason has return to Gotham with a clear plan to take over Crime Alley's underworld. Only problem? He didn't consider the power dynamics could have changed so much from the last time he was there. Not his fault, really, it barely changed in the 15 years Jason had been in Gotham, and who in his right mind would have ever predicted that one day Crime Alley would be owned by a kid gang?
Or, Danny arrived in Crime Alley shortly after Jason died left, and somehow, accidentally, overthrows the whole undergrown crime hierarchy and created a kid gang that now took care of the place.
Jason has to greatly adjust all his plans.
Low-key inspired by: Wait, I'm a what? But if Danny made his haunt in Crime Alley, and arrived before Jason created his crime empire.
Jason Has A Type
Everyone knows it.
Bruce knows it. The rest of the batfam knows it. Hell, even Jason is aware but doesn't want to admit it.
When it comes to romance, he has a type. Each one either has tried to kill him or isn't completely human.
So, when it came out that Jason gained a new boyfriend, bets and theories among the family began ranging from how long it would last and if this one was a meta to if the boyfriend was Kryptonian, a clone, or someone from the LOA. Other than the seemingly lack of information and the whole adoption bait look, Jason's boyfriend was a regular civilian. A college student from somewhere in Illinois that's double majoring in astronomy and engineering at Gotham University.
Was he running from something based on how jumpy he is and how too clean his record was? Most likely but other than that he cared for Jason as much as they could tell from snooping.
After months of ignoring and avoiding the snooping and pleading from the batfam, Jason just wanted to end the theories and bets once and for all, so he invited Danny to family dinner at the manor. Everything was going fine.
Until Danny's eyes flashed a toxic green as a stray knife from Damian went through his shoulder and he simply moved over in his seat, the knife embedded into the chair.
It was almost a Lazarus green.
Money traded hands and all hell broke loose.
Okay, I'm so sorry. But what if Danny didn't?
What if Jason told Danny that they were going to do stupid tests? What if Danny got tired of their bullshit. Especially as it put Jason in danger? He knows that Jason is like him and will recover quickly, but Danny's a protective spirit. And he's so fucking done. So, like usual, he goes for the bit that will traumatize everyone.
He lets the knife pierce his shoulder. He looks wide eyed and confused, until his eyes land on the blade and blow out.
"Oh. Uh-ummmm..... heh.... what the fuck is wrong with all of you?" And passes out.
Danny has gotten really good at controlling the speed of his pulse and breathing too. Technically he doesn't need to do either. He just does it to maintain the appearance of humanity.
Danny looks down at the knife in his shoulder with wide eyes turning to look at the batfam with wide scared eyes "What's wrong with all of you?" Dramatically falls over ontop of the knife making rhe injury intentionally worse and starts to slow his breathing and heartrate. As well as letting his ghostly nature slowly turn him paler and make his skin grow colder. If he really wants to go far he can make his breath give off a death rattle. It works similarly to how he accesses his wail only when he's in human form and more closed off. Just really full blown scare the absolute shit out of them.

"The Intern"
An AU DPxDC concept where a cult summons attempts to summon the Ghost King; Pariah Dark. Only to be met with Danny in his human form.
Now, revealing that the new Ghost King is a halfa to a bunch of weirdos in robes is a bad idea. So when they inevitably ask who the hell he is, he comes up with a lie.
"Oh, I'm his intern. I think? Maybe secretary is a better word? You know what, it doesn't matter." His lie is unsure at first, but then he puts on his best customer service voice and tries again.
"Hello, I'm Danny and I'll be the one taking your call. Now before we start, can you give me your name and reason for summoning?"
I imagine that Danny is like ~18 in this, and is actually working some minimum-wage customer service job.
In addition, any magically sensitive heroes can tell he's somewhat undead, and somehow connected to the High King of the Infinite Realms.
The summoning happened right after his shift, and he's still in uniform.
The logical assumption, then, for the heroes, is that this poor kid died, bargained for his life back, and now is working multiple jobs to pay not only for normal stuff, but also paying back his debt for coming back.
Just imagining them all going "aw man the job market really sucks huh, imagine making all that effort to come back to life just to work multiple minimum wage jobs".
Danny kicks open the door: Bruce! Explain yourself! Bruce: Hello, Daniel. How are you? How are things in accounting? Danny: Don't try to use socialized manners to distract me! I want an explanation for these accounts! *slams folders on Bruce's desk* Bruce: Hmm? These are personal accounts. Danny: I'm aware! What I want to know is why you have so much money being transferred to "Barry's food budget", "Clark's furniture replacement fund," and "Diana's art purchases grant!" Bruce: I believe the names of the accounts are self-explanatory. Danny: Who are these people!? Why are you funding thier lives?! You have four other accounts with similar titles!.... Bruce, do you have a secret family? Illegitimate children? Bruce: Yes, because I adopted a dozen children as a single father, but refused to actually provide for my own. That makes perfect sense. Wow, you caught me. Danny: Ugh, I hate when you use sarcasm. The whole world thinks you're an airhead with no thoughts, but I know the truth. You're a sarcastic, emotionally broken mess that somehow is the most clever mastermind alive! Bruce: Thank you Danny: Uggghhhhh! If we weren't best friends, I would have quit by now! I made enough money to retire early! Bruce: But you won't~🎶 Danny: Aghhhhh! I won't! If I do, I know you'll mess up all the financial systems I set up and run this company into the ground! Bruce: You're the reason we aren't sinking. Danny: Damn right I am! *Agressively sits down and crosses his arms and ankles* Alright, if they aren't your children, then who are these people? Bruce with the straightest face ever: They're my sugar babies. Danny: .....What? Bruce pulls out pictures of the Justice League's civilian IDs: Look at them. Danny: Wow Bruce: Yeah Danny: Okay, I guess it makes sense why you would want to fund them. But Bruce, you can't just- Bruce: Do you want to be one of my sugar babies? Danny: I would rather be ripped monicule by monicule than be your sugar baby. Bruce: What if I made you my Splenda nephew? Danny: What does that entail? Bruce: I give you money, but you don't give me any sugar. You just spend time with me. Danny: No kissing, no sex, no romance? Just friends spending time together? Bruce: Exactly. Danny: *Narrows eyes* Bruce Wayne, are you bribing me to turn a blind eye to you toeing the line of embazelement? Bruce: Yes Danny: Great! Cause I am totally willing to turn a blind eye to your sugar babies! How much are you willing to give Uncle Bruce? Bruce: This is why we're best friends.
