Tim coming home to the nest one day, months after the Boomerang incident- months after Bruce and he started their awkward avoidance of each other, to find a small package left on his balcony.
A package containing a manilla envelope detailing his sudden ownership of the majority shares of Kord Industries- his own signature on the transfer forged, and card scrawled in red ink-
"Be My Robin."
His first thoughts are of course: clearly Jason had come back to Gotham. He supposed he was past due for that altercation.
His second are: what the actual fuck?
It's only after he hears Pru cackling inside the theater that he stops and thinks for a moment, and realizes the date.
February 14th.
He bluescreens.
Pru's laughter tips over the line into hysterical.
He doesn't know what to do with this.
Because what???
He goes inside, still wide eyes, confused, and flustered.
Pru thinks the whole thing is "cute"
Tim thinks it feels like a threat.
Last time he and Jason "met up" he'd snarkilly asked the same thing, and then for the first time legitimately tried to kill him.
Pru just shrugs with a grin.
"That's just standard flirting in the League."
Tim gapes, and just bluescreens again with an exasperated whine.

Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.
It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.
So, for whatever reason, the Justice League are fighting Phantom, thinking he's evil or suspicious and trying to bring him to the watchtower or whatever, but of course Phantom isn't cooperating, either not trusting the JL/being bitter they didnt show up to help Amity Park/whatever
UNTIL... One of Clockworks' notes show up, and Phantom pauses to read it, before surrendering to the JL, saying he'll follow them.
Now obviously, the JL are confused and suspicious, but eventually come to the (wrong) conclusion that Phantom is just a lackey or something, and that the person who wrote the note is the real mastermind manipulating this poor innocent super-powered teenager.
Danny finds this all either hilarious, or stupid. Probably both.
Phantom swiftly avoids yet another attempt from Wonder Woman to get him in her lasso. He doesn't think it would work on ghosts, but he's not willing to try his luck here. He low-key would like to send all of them flying. They hadn't been around for any of the crazy shit that has gone down in the last year, and now that they finally show up they want to take him in?
He knew he should have let Technus destroy all the digital news declaring him a public enemy. It must be why the absent heroes decided to come and take him down. If only the ghost wasnât also trying to take over the school news site just when Sam was publishing her own article on plant-based meal alternatives, he would have.
âSon, I suggest you surrender yourself before we are obligated to escalate things,â Superman says.
âYou're not obligated to do anything, you asshole!" Phantom screeches, sending a wall of ectoplasm their way to force them to take a step back.
A batarang makes its way around the wall, damn its boomerang properties, but Phantom simply turns intangible and glares at Batman, who only narrows his eyes in return. The dull object eventually passes through Phantom and back into its owner's hand. This is ridiculous.
Phantom was halfway to opening his mouth to tell the heroes to leave him alone again when the note appeared. It somehow managed to stop the heroes in their tracks as well. Everyone looked confused at the floating Post-it note. Phantom grabbed the Post-it, mostly annoyed.
âThey'll take you to space. Also, destroy this note. :)â Phantom stared for a minute at what was probably the most direct instruction he had ever received from the Ancient.
He groaned. âWhatever.â He crumpled the paper into a ball and tossed it into his mouth. The piece of paper quickly dissolved into tasteless ectoplasm. He placed his hands over his head and then said, âAll right, I'm all yours.â Clocky better be right about the space thing, or he's mauling him.
The heroes looked to one another, unsure. Then Martian Manhunter flew closer to him, taking cuffs from a compartment in his suit that shouldn't have been able to hold them. A bit over a year ago Danny would have been delighted to meet the man, and a part of him was still amazed by the alien, but he felt mostly annoyed right now.
âPlease bring your hands to the front, young one,â the Martian said, softer than Phantom thought he would be for someone they perceived as a villain.
He raised an eyebrow. âShouldn't it be behind my back?â he asked, slowly bringing his hands to the front anyway.
âIf you're coming willingly, I see no reason not to offer you the most comfortable option,â Martian Manhunter stated simply as the cuffs clicked shut.
âI believe the most comfortable option would be without cuffs,â Phantom scoffed in return. He probably shouldn't be poking at the leniency he was being shown for some reason, but he still hated the whole situation.
âWe can discuss options depending on your behavior,â Batman said before Martian Manhunter could say anything else.
-------
Martian Manhunter glanced at the teen who was glaring daggers at the Javelin's window. They had tried to ask about the note that had appeared out of nowhere, but the teen had simply looked away with pursed lips, refusing to speak a word from the moment they boarded the aircraft.
More often than not, young villains tended to be misdirected or acting out from pain. Powers rarely came without grievances, and even less so those that were visually notable. It didn't justify their actions, but it did mean that a push in the right direction and some support were often enough to help them leave villainy behind. And Martian Manhunter, despite being unable to read Phantom's mind, could feel a great deal of anger and sadness coming from him.
But what had once seemed to be a normal intervention became far more worrying once the note appeared. A teen lashing out on his own is one thing. A teen receiving directions from someone is something entirely different. Powered minors are especially vulnerable to being groomed into a life of villainy.
What's even more worrying is how readily this person not only asked Phantom to give himself up, but how easily the teen agreed. They'll have to consider whether this person holds blackmail over the kid's head, or if the kid is mentally that deep under their control.
It also raises the question of why this person would want Phantom to surrender himself. Are they hiding something bigger and using Phantom as a distraction? Or are they hoping to use Phantom to acquire information about them?
The mode of communication is also deeply troubling. None of them had been able to detect where the note had come from, or that it would appear at all. Even if none of them practiced magic, they had been around it often enough to usually be able to pinpoint it, but there had been nothing there.
Martian Manhunter sighed mentally. He's sure Batman would remain paranoid about this person spying on them, or gaining information through Phantom, until they proved that wasn't the case. He can't even blame him for this one.
[Timkon lovesquare au] okay hereâs the part I never posted here! This was a two part comic with the first one exploring superboy going for more traditional superman look (sort of based on an mlb episode where chat noir changes his whole suit and demeanor) after getting shunned by the public and media while this part was about Timâs belief in him inspiring him to just be superboy
Iâve honestly been so busy with two jobs and having like no free time that I barely draw but I want to add more comics to this au đŁđ
I recently posted my first DPxDC fic in case any of yâall are interested. Itâs a DeadTired meet cute.
title: love is a frozen foor
author (me) : Bluebird8683
summary:
Danny has freshly turned 18, yay! He's officially made it to adulthood... if you ignore the fact that he's only half alive. That also means that now the Observants are chasing after him in order to make him the King of the Infinite Realms, good thing there happens to be a conveniently placed door when the eyeballs try and sneakily place the crown on him in the Realms. Hopefully where ever he winds up is cool with him chilling there for a bit!
--
Tim is tired, hurt, and ready to go bed after patrol when someone bursts into his apartment (from the closet door?! How?) while he's still mostly in his Red Robin suit. Guess he's going to have to do some investigating into this handsome stranger before he can go to bed.

Tim: No, I mean as Robin. I have to fill out these forms for a new hero team but it won't let me submit it without a surname and they donât know who I really am yet so...
Dick: Oh, it's Knight. That's actually Bruce sanctioned.
Tim: He agreed to it?
Dick: Not exactly. He had to full name me in the field once in front of Lex Luthor and said 'Robin the Boy Wonder Knight, if you do not get down from there this instant...'
Tim: Does he use it?
Dick: I think so. After I started using it. He's sentimental like that.
Tim: And it has nothing to do withthe fact that it means he can write alias: Batman, forename: The Dark?
Danny has seen several ghosts warp and change their appearance from Bertrand to Amorpho, and he's gotta admit he's jealous.
Now, it takes him a few weeks but he eventually figures it out in his ghost form, but now he kinda wants to be able to do it in his human one as well. Making temporary fangs and doing fun things with his hair and height all sound fun and like something he can use for some pranks to get back at Sam and Tucker for always arguing.
About a year later and heâs finally done it!!!
Except⌠now his hair refuses to remain the same shade of black and his eyes keep going rainbow and his skin doesnât want to stay pale andâŚ
So, Danny has an issue because the only kind of thing that could cause this is ghosts and he really doesnât want to end up on the GIWâs radar anymore than he already is being the son for Drs. fenton.

Hal, sitting on the desk chair for the Batcomputer: Whoa, your chair's duty heavy times a million! This chair can take the impact of crashing against an F-16
Bruce: Made it myself.
Hal, smirking: You wouldn't happen to have brought this out for.... specific purposes, no? đ
Bruce: My kids.
Hal: ...what?
Bruce: My kids sit on it.
[Bruce rolls a video feed on the Batcomputer of him sitting on the same chair some few hours ago. One by one, the kids file into the Batcave rambling on about something, then ending up draped on Bruce. Damian takes his left lap and Jason on his right. Dick perches on one of the arm rests. Cass balances on the back of the chair. Tim is on Bruce's shoulders. The chair neither creaks nor wobbles, even as Bruce starts spinning around the Batcave to make the kids laugh]
Hal:
Bruce: :))
Hal: Spooky, this chair could theoretically carry 7 Hal Jordans
Bruce: 7 Hal Jordans and 5 Barbara Gordons with the wheelchair, to be precise
When Batman dies he comes back as a ghost nearly immediately. He soon finds a stable portal to cross through, intending to find Gotham as soon as possible.
What he finds is a teen hero in desperate need of help. He can help.
Ah, Danny now has a hero mentor. This would be better if his main antagonists weren't ghost hunters. Danny is trying to keep Batman in the Realms... It isn't going too well.
It's the escape artist training, Dad Shaping, and unethical use of Logic(tm). Which is a crime against him, Danny, specifically. This dad shaped man is bullying him! With earnest concern and offers to help and support him!
Is clearly terrified for his family and city but REFUSES to "abandon" Danny! D:> Stop being everything Danny's been praying for! This feels like a TRAAAAAP! He's gonna get attached then something BAD WILL HAPPEN!
*awkward BatHug deployed* its going to be Okay, Danny.
Nooooooooo T^T *is imprinting so hard you can see it from space*
Bruce probably starts guarding the inside of the portal. Sets up traps using Fenton tech. Makes sure no ghosts cause trouble during school. Well, for the ones he can stop any way. Danny hasn't had this much rest since he died! Batman is so nice. 10/10. Teaches him stuff, without being creepy!
Consider, the Ghost Baby Off-limits headcanon is at play, so even though this is a veteran Batman, he's seen as a baby. And when he explains why he's guarding the portal? It's seen as a baby being taken care of by a even babier baby.
Imagine Danny's rogues having their meltdown about being beaten by a baby. In front of Bruce. Who is like... How did you not understand that he was freshly dead? Power levels are not always indicative of age people!!
Bruce drops his head thinking for a moment. Ok, understandable. But! Natural portals can do that! You have a time ghost! You could have asked! Phantom isn't even two years dead! Now go say sorry! Says the two month dead ghost. At least he died an adult, and therefore will be respected. More so than still a teen, baby ghost.
Jason gets a call one day from a random number and theres a kid on the other end saying Jasons Dad told him to call.
Obviously Bruce has been dead for a bit so Jason is sus until the kid says one of the batcodes
The whole family is wondering if Bruce is actually dead or if this is more of a lost in time thing again (hes very dead but he does not care. Hes Batman.)
Given that the code is about a new family member needing training? Jason might just laugh himself sick. Look, B is dead, and somehow still adopted. What the fuck B!? He is absolutely tying off loose ends and getting himself to Amity Park. He can't wait to see what the fuck is happening. If he is taking a camera along? Well that's between him and Babs.
Batman of corse returns to Gotham and crime fighting. No one knows batman was/is dead.
Cue the justice league having to summon or fight someone from the GZ/Infinte realms. They take one look at Batman and just start parenting/baby talking/treating him like a child.
And Batman doesnât do anything about it! His core is humming happily because he is a baby ghost despite being a adult human.
Batman has to have not known this was the magic users plans. Or he would have just called Danny. Which, let's be real? As soon as he knew this was the plan? Danny got a text off his ghost bestie/hero mentor. Promptly dives through the phone and pops up just behind him.
Danny: Why is Lady Pandora here?
Batman: Realms issue came up. As Earth's resident Realms wrangler? I thought it time to introduce you to JLD. As they didn't even explain that it was a Realms issue until they summoned Lady Pandora.
Zatanna: How do you even know about the Infinite Realms?!
Danny: Cause he's Batman. Duh.
Batman: This is Phantom. The hero of Amity Park. He babysits a permanent portal between the Realms and Earth.
Danny: Urgh. Babysits is right. So! Who are we fighting this time!
Zatanna: Batman? Are you sure? The being running around isn't an everyday spirit! The Ancient of Dreams isn't something for a teen to fight!
Danny: Wait! Nocturn got out again!?! Urgh! What's he doing this time?!
Batman: Phantom has previously fought Nocturn, Undergrowth, Fright Knight, Pariah Dark and Plasmius.
Danny: I've fought more than that! But they were the most powerful yeah.
Iâm still imagining an eldritch being cooing over The Batman.
Eldritch being: *gasp* A BABY!! Coochie coo! Coochie Coochie coo! Hello little one!! đ
The Batman, slightly tilting his head back so the eldritch being can gently tickle his chin with their huge fuckin claws: *deadpan* Hello. It is very nice to meet you. I know that I am a very cute baby, but my associates have summoned you for assistance. Please focus.
Love that the League summoned an (probably known to be extremely powerful) eldritch entity for help, only for said entity to do absolutely nothing helpful and this "random" Midwestern teen to show up and upstage them all.
The Ancient would absolutely help once the babies went to battle. Just in case. They would do that thing. You enter the fight as well, just in case. Watch every move. So you can jump in if needed, but let the kids figure it out. If not needed? You can then coo and praise them. If needed to help? You coo and reassure.
Ancient: Itâs like watching their first steps once they stop holding your hand. You stay close enough to catch, but really you are just there to be a cheer section.
You know after Diana and Clark at the very least are going to demand answers. Bruce just sighs. And clicks a button on his wrist. The magic users/sensitive in the league all turn to him in shock. What the fuck! Batman! Since when!
Bruce: I died six months ago. As is protocol it wasn't announced. Since many of us return, one way of another. This time I came back as a ghost. Phantom is the protector of Amity Park's permanent portal. I stayed for a while to mentor him. But had him contact my children. They turned up to help. And likely to ensure I was still myself.
Marvel: Uh, question Mr Batman. How did you damper your aura like that?!?
Bruce: Phantom created the device. It users electromagnetic fields manipulation to scramble and hide Ecto signatures.
Zatanna: Wait! The kid?!?! How?!
Bruce: He is incredibly intelligent. And the son of mad scientists. He used their work on reading Ecto signatures to work it out.
Clark: Why did you hide it from us?
Bruce: Why would I mention it? I am still here. Changed yes. But not gone. It would have caused unnecessary distress.
Fsssssffffffx âunnecessary distressâ. That is so in-character.
On the other hand, you know who would have been in real distress? His kids, for those two months or so between his death and Dannyâs phone call.
Bruce died as Batman, from an injury in the field. He was still alive when he was brought back to the Cave and died in the presence of his family. Though he didnât regain consciousness and they didnât get to say goodbye, there was no chance for the body to be swapped; there is no doubt that Bruce is dead.
They all get very drunk for a night or two. Even Jarro, who, as a telepath, is basically getting drunk by proxy.
They had a drawn-out knock-down fight over what to do about Bruce. Tim and Damian were in favour of attempting a resurrection (Pit or Apokalips). Dick and Jason and Cass were very much not. Theyâve reached a compromise; they are not actively working on it but the body is in frozen storage with a lot of alarms on it.
Jason, whoâs doing a lot better these days, took the cowl. Cass will take over eventually, but for the moment Jason is the best at maintaining the illusion of continuity. They have a cover story ready to go for Bruce Wayneâs death.
And then Jason receives the phone call, to his Oracle-secured batphone from an unknown number.
That usually means one of the other Bats on a burner, which usually means trouble, so he answers.
âUm, hi?â Not a voice he recognises, at all. âIs this Jason?â
Young. Male. Midwestern. Asking for Jason on the Batphone. Could be real trouble. âNo, this is Mark,â he says. âYouâve got the wrong number.â
âHe said youâd say that. Um, Jason? I have a message from your dad.â
Jason gets angry and breaks code. âMy dad is dead.â
âI know,â says the voice. âHe says, recognition code bee zero one, whisky delta india hotel mike⌠no, sorry, hotel sierra mike kilo, circumference, um⌠flange, uh⌠requirement? Requirement.â
Jason canât say a word. Canât breathe. Itâs Bâs code all right, no coercion, not compromised, and he felt the need to specify no time travel. But what he really canât get over is the way it sounds like the kid is listening to someone prompting and correcting him, someone whoâs standing there with him.
âAnd he says, contingency four two seven gee and⌠three one five? Yeah, three one five bee.â
Jason doesnât know these from the top of his head. He rouses enough to drop Tim a quick text. Tim knows all the contingencies, the little freak.
Jason: contingencies 427g and 315b
Tim: !!!!!!!!!
Jason: what are they?
Tim: holy shit
Tim: moving to group chat
Jason swipes over to the batchat group.
Tim: jason just texted
Tim: bâs come back as a ghost
Tim: and heâs adopted again
âJason?â says his phone. âJason? âŚare you still there?â
Jason is, of course, somewhat overwhelmed by this new knowledge. Relief and grief mixing together. because his Dad is back! But.. His Dad is a ghost. Still dead, changed forever. But, has adopted again? So still the same man they all know and love. His newest baby brother sounds so young and unsure. Clearly B's only just found him. Not had enough time to train him properly. He needs a minute, but his new baby (probably a ghost, oh fuck, B's ghost has adopted a dead teen.) brother is still on the line. So he has to push it to the side and get his shot together.
Jason: Yeah, yeah I'm still here. So, B's a ghost huh? How'd you meet him?
Danny: Oh, um, there's a portal? To the Infinite Realms in my city. It's um, it's in my basement? My, my parents built it. I accidentally turned it on. So, so it's my job to keep everyone safe. Batman heard about it. He wanted to get back to Gotham. Um, but he um, he felt I needed help. But, I'm not, not always there. So...
Jason: Its ok kid. Take your time. Sounds like B has his hands full over there. He asking for Justice League backup?
Jason heard the muttering start again. Why wasn't B using the phone? Maybe it was a ghost thing? Something to ask the kid.
Danny: No. Batman wants you to come visit. And help train me? Batman can't leave until we figure out a way for him to have a believable human form. And figure out how to get him enough Ecto to feed off.
I can't help but imagine the sigh the leaves Frostbite when he sees; the Great One, the Batman, the Red Hood and Batman's corpse being brought to him. And when he asks why? Gets told they want to know if Batman can use it as a way to pass as a human. If his old corpse will be able to sustain such.
(Also, side note, but do colour inversion rules work here? Because B? Probably not best pleased if he is bright white.)
Okay, I see your white Batman suit, and raise you he's Eyesearingly Neon Pink. You know the color, the one that seems to dlow in the dark.
And let's say for angst, that no. He cannot use the preserved body BECAUSE it is preserved. The preservatives have filled in enough of the body so it no longer counts as "Bruce" to his ectoplasm
Look, we all know Tim would hear that and cackle gleefully. He gets to use his cloning knowledge for good you say? It'll take a few months for the best to be ready. Just you wait. *gleeful evil laughter*
The reason I was going with white? Was mainly the pun-tential. He's no longer the Dark Knight. But the Light Knight. (Because nite lite).
How about mostly white with eye-searingly pink Bat symbol/belt.
Or maybe a neon green suit with the eye-searingly pink symbol/belt. Which would obviously be irritating for him in the human world. Neon green and pink are very attention grabbing. But then in the realms he would retain his nature and ability to slip into the "shadows". The shadows here more or less just being the ambient environment which Ghost Batman still blends in to.
In a way, it would be like the Universe itself telling Batman, "No, you don't belong to this world any more. Batman belongs to the Infinite Realms now. Go back to the new shadows you fit into." Not that Bruce is going to heed that message.
As for the body, it's at least still good for a dna sample. From there, Tim can work with the Yetis to grow Bruce a ghost compatible, empty human body. Although I don't think it should be quite that simple or easy. There needs to be some kind of counter-balance. A price to pay for the luxury of returning to and passing freely in the human world.
Ecto green with neon pink belt and symbol is perfect. Yeah, the universe can say what it wants. It allowed him to continue his existence. The universe should have known better than to think he wouldn't go home.
Oh absolutely. I'm thinking corpse au shenanigans? If Bruce wants to use his ghost powers he has to drop his body off at the cave. Whoch, let's be real, would cause some serious psychic damage to his family the first few times.
Maybe there's a grace period. That can be extended by putting the body on life support/in suspension. Not at all further traumatizing his kids. Right up till they are numb to it and begin making jokes. Bruce coming back to find them play acting "sad about Dad in a coma". Or his face being covered in doodles.
Thereâs a grace period where the body will keep breathing on its own, AND of course, sometimes thereâs ghost emergencies where he doesnât have time to get it back to the batcave. So he has to drop it off somewhere and call someone to pick it up.
Which generally leads to Bruceâs body getting âweekend at Bernieâsâ-ed by his children.
They get a whole scrapbookâs worth of embarrassing pics they posed him for, a few of which have his ghost in the background smirking. This technically counts as family bonding time right?
Of course, now the rest of the Justice League know about this? He can traumatise them as well! Just, leave his body to stretch out properly and then get back in. In full view of the team. Who are now included in the emergency body pick up plans. They also get to see him in all his green and pink glory. Danny of course is not at all fazed when Batman drops his body. Ever. As far as he is concerned? The body is essentially a coat. This only re-inforces the fact that this is a dead teen. The fact he also has his living form? Doesn't matter here. He's dead enough for that to be nothing important.
Imagine that for his Brucie persona, he says that he has suddenly and spontaneously developed narcolepsy to explain why his body just suddenly âfaintsâ for long periods of time out of nowhere. Bruce just turns invisible before exiting the body so he can be in a hotel, meeting, gala, or car and the body looks like it just goes slack (but is still breathing). So while Bruce is often unconscious during villain attacks he can also do this to respond to SOS messages from the other bats. (does he use this âfaintingâ to get out of meetings? Oh yes he does.)
(Or even better. He hires a blob to âtake the wheelsâ for a bit whenever he has to go Batman. This shall be Alfred the Blob).
Maybe he offers Deadman the chance. since he is a colleague he can trust. Like, I have a two week mission. where ghost powers would be best. If you could over shadow my corpse and make a few public appearances? Give you a chance to eat something for a change.
First time letting Boston âDeadmanâ Brand have the driverâs seat, Batman gives him a list of ground rules, things not to do, etc. ending in âand donât shoot anyone this time!â
Also, what with him being a trapeze artist in life, I imagine Boston would move a LOT like Dick. Up to and including causing a few moments ofâwait, Nightwing? Where did you come from? I thought that was you in the Batsuit?!?â
(Last but not least, I really want them to get to hang out and bitch about having died in-costume and being stuck in those for the rest of their afterlives)
(Dannyâs gonna get a laugh about the whole âdied while in zombie makeupâ thing.)

King Phantom going through some of the backed up paperwork and finds Janet's contract. Her first born belongs to Phantom now since Pariah never did any paperwork. Those that he did claim had already been rescued where they could and made comfortable when there was little to be done.
He's outlawed new deals since a lot of the time the validly of the sacrifice can be questioned. The observant s are annoyed at babysitters duty but it gets them out of annoying Danny and lets him be productive so he plans on milking it for as long as there are deals under review. Just like with the one Pariah claimed, a lot of them are undergoing investigations and that's where Janet's deal comes in.
Tim like many other firstborns are watched over. Anytime they are in danger, the observant responsible invokes Danny or his claim to protect them from the shadows. On occasion, they might have been relocated but never has Danny collected on any of those deals until Tim.
Tim unlike the other firstborns is a hero. Tim is also aware something is watching him as he will make comments for Danny or thank him for a save nobody else noticed and Danny is instantly smitten. Danny watches as Tim does so much good for Gotham both as a civilian and as a hero. Even when he is taken for granted, it doesn't slow Tim down and Danny admires him more.
Danny knows Tim has massive potential, and he trusts him to understand the gravity of how far his influence runs. He had no doubt in Tim when he was trying to clone his lost friends. Danny understood was part of his grieving process and everyone grieves differently. Did he also swoon a bit? Nobody witnessed it so it didn't happen (but his friend do tease him about it since they were aware of his crush)
It becomes the last straw for Danny when Nightwing acting as Batman turns everyone against Tim. He reminds himself everyone copes differently for all of one minute before saying man fuck that guy and sends a sticky note to Tim. On that sticky note he offers his help and protection, but it can't be revoked once accepted.
It's the first time he has 'shown' himself outside of the assists he's made, and it feels like agony as he watches Tim. Eventually Tim does take up his offer and while Danny fell first Tim fell harder. Bruce is the second person Danny saves that day and the moment Tim realizes it he is extra cuddly with Danny.
The alternate rescue is Danny being dramatic about collecting Red Robin in front of Dick and the Justice league. Tim meanwhile is like good luck keeping me here, but when he takes in his first view of the Infinite Realms he has sooo many questions so he could stay for a bit for science.
I am picturing the JL about to detain Tim. Tim going "have fun with that" screams "i accept" Danny just apearing full eldritch horror. Picking Time up and disapearing and depositing Bruce in his place.
Tim and Danny waiting a full week of the JL thinking they made Tim make a deal with an eldritch horror to save Bruce and now hes gone before he comes back.
With a Danny that is not an eldritch horror laughing his ass off at ALL OF THEM
I can't write a fic but here is a ficlet because I loved this idea but didn't have a lot of time so we miss out on the JL side and Bat reunion
âYourâe surrounded Red Robin, stand down or weâll have to use force. Please donât make me use force on my little brother. I canât lose you too.â
Rodin stands right next to Dick. His hand rests on his katana, almost ready for Tim to resist. You can only kick a dog so many times, and for all Damian adores animals, Tim is less deserving than an animal in his eyes.
Tim remembers feeling hurt as Dick chose to believe Damian without looking for the truth, betrayed when Robin was taken back, and anxious as he set out alone knowing Raâs waited.
Now he feels nothing.
Not even audacity as his forgiveness is assumed.
Internally he scoffs as the surrounding heroes tear up at Dickâs words. They lower their guard in one form or another, but Tim is going to give them a little reminder of why you donât drop your guard.
âYeah, have fun with that.â He inhales watching as they become confused just before he shouts, âI accept!â
The sudden cold at his back all but embraces him. Itâs a little startling to see a massive black claw land beside him while another curls protectively in front of him. The lazarus colored veins alternate between glowing and dimming.
Tim relaxes knowing Bruce will be saved and marvels at the veins that begin to slow down and speed up again. Like a heart beat. Timâs heart beat to be exact.
He no longer hears the shouts or alarm and for him to run.
All he can focus on is Phantom, the being who has all the power in the world and chooses to make Tim his heart. He looks up into the voids that take the place of eyes. Along with the grimaced smile, it would make for an unsettling sight but not for Tim who can see beyond the facade.
âNo finer tribute will ever be found.â He sees stars in the void and how they twinkle just for him. He loses sight of those stars as they turn towards everyone else. âYou wretches will have your Bat at the behest of my Birdie.â The dramatic laugh that follows drowns out the chorus of noâs.
The claw curled before him moves to press him against the massive chest, but Tim doesnât panic. He closes his eyes as a portal begins to swallow them both.
He feels as the other form shrinks. The laugher is not so booming now that the chest heâs held against is smaller.
âOh my god you have some balls man. Imagine if I would have left you hanging? That would have been so embarrassingâ
Tim looks at Phantom. For so long heâs been his secret protector. The constant comfort in his life who made even the Drake Manor feel less lonely. He feels nothing but affection for this being that saw Tim and found him deserving. âYouâve never let me down before, I knew you wouldnât when I needed you the most.â
âASDfghjkl?!â
Tim can only smile at the lovely flush on Phantomâs cheeks and the recreation of keyboard smashing. Teasing a king sounds like a fun way to pass the time, especially when they are this cute.
Just once, I want Danny to spout off something that heâs clearly heard from Jazz and then cringe at it.
Jason: âJust gotta wait until the Stockholm Syndrome kicks in!â
Danny: âActually, 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.â *shudders*
Dick, exasperated: âMonkey see, monkey do, after allâŚâ
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!"

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.
I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblrâs tagging system is
I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We canât use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.
Use âflashingâ in place of âepilepsyâ in your tags. You arenât warning people of epileptics, youâre warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and itâs ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.
Hereâs proof of what I mean:
THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!
Then Lian gets hit with something and gets very sick. But no matter what they do, they canât cure her. Their only option is to seek out someone who can but not even the other ghosts in the Justice league knows what to do. Sheâs not a pure ghost. Which means that if they want to help Lian, they need to find another halfa.
Which would be easier if apparently, they werenât the rarest ghost in in all the realms with only 3 others known in existence.
This right here? Perfection.
The Justice league are in a panic, they have two deathly ill girls in the sickbay and they are going crazy trying to find a solution. Constantine and Zatara are consulting every magic book they can find on any legend for even a glimpse of where the last halfa might be. All they get is some vague mention of someone called the âgreat oneâ but nothing else. Not even a name. Batman is doing thorough research and working with flash to try and rework some GIW tech to track ecto signatures (which is unfortunately not working as since the world is full of ecto, you can only track a ghost within a certain range, not a worldwide search. Plus, there are far too many ghosts on earth.) Other Justice Leaguers are scanning GIW file to try and find anything on halfas (which unfortunately, the GIW didnât even know about. They think all ecto entities are the same.) Even Wonder Woman has gone home to themescara to ask if anyone has ever encountered, or even heard of a halfa or the infinite realms. Captain marvel has also gone to consult the rock of eternity and even the green lanterns are reaching out to the lantern core about this supposedly new and possibly endangered species. Roy (and possibly Cheshire) are raiding every enemy base they can find. If the heroes donât have any information, perhaps a villain might.
They donât find anything about Danny but they do have a lead. A being who is said to know everything. Now they just have to contact this Clockwork.
