Life. Ya know?

listen. 67 is not 69. it's not 420, or 21, or 42.

it's E.

you remember this shit?

Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.

(If you have zero idea about a name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)

Danny finds out he's a clone of one of the Gotham vigilantes, thanks to a random lore drop from his parents.

Problem is, he doesn't know which one, since his parents didn't remember or make a note of it, and the ectoplasm his DNA was dunked in upon half-dying makes any kind of blood work totally corrupted.

He's managed to narrow it down by excluding whichever vigilantes didn't appear until after his birth (creation? birth), but that still leaves too many to make much difference.

Still, he keeps a closer eye on news about Gotham's vigilantes, he's making comparisons, finding similarities, noting differences, between all of them and himself.

With his template being a vigilante but not knowing which, it's hard to attribute these observations to being a template thing, a vigilante thing, or a Danny thing.

He could spend all day analyzing masked faces for any shred of familiarity, but he's already having an identity crisis, and he has better ways to spend his time and bigger things to worry about. So the clone flavored crisis can sit in the back of his mind and wait its turn.

The 'vigilante' is Penny One. He's a clone of Alfred.

One night, early in his career, Bruce was badly injured and called for Alfred to come collect him. Alfred donned a mask and drove over there, gathering him into the car and heading home.

Unfortunately, he'd been startled while preparing Bruce's after patrol snack, and had cut his hand. In his haste to collect Bruce, he hadn't properly wrapped it.

Shortly after they have left the scene, Jack and Maddie come out of the shadows and collect a couple of blood samples.

They go back to their lab and mess around with it, but the only one to produce a viable clone is the one with Alfred's blood, as Bruce had been exposed to Ivy's spores and so his samples were contaminated.

Alfred and Danny propose a new dynamic: He's Just Some Guy To Me

Obviously Alfred would be open to Danny joining the fam, happily, he's a brilliant young man, but he's not going to plead for it like the others might.

Danny has obligations and a life in Amity Park, to being Phantom, just as Alfred has obligations and a life in Gotham, to the Wayne family.

Doesn't mean they won't share some recipes, or the occasional tea (literal or figurative) when their loved ones force them to take breaks.

He refuses to wear the uniform, though. That's a hard pass.
