*skitters out from underneath the rock I've been living under*
Okay I found a post in the dp x DC phandom, on how Danny could be mistaken for Beast Boy and Ravens son.
But apparently my brain liked the idea so much it spat another idea for a WIP, And I haven't touched the document sea yet (that's a whole bunch of Wips and blank docs in my word doc file, funny enough it popped right back into existence after I cleared out he last document sea)
Instead of being mistaken for their child , he does become their child.
You have a Danny, getting spat into the DC verse, after a big explosion in the lab , after a revel gone wrong , killing everyone (no Dan sadly, he's dead dead in this au Danny killed him) and Dani included and gravely injuring an already injured Phantom. And sending said gravely injured Phantom in the blow back into the dc Verse.
So bad that he became a core , like in Robins Egg. Except! Instead of Robin finding it , Beast Boy finds it.
Beast Boy was looking for something a rare not cursed gem to get worked into an engagement ring for Raven , and found this really neat rock.
He does have a magic person to checks it because dating a person that does magic one gets a feel for something supernatural.
He assumes it's Jsut a magic rock and sets out on making a sphere ring , that would double as an engagement ring and figet toy , cause it was so perfectly round and beast Boy didn't want to ruin it.
But because he had a habit of losing stuff decided to keep it on his person. Like in Robins Egg the rock tunes out to be a person once it awoke.
And so Beast Boy is talking to this teen keeping his soul safe telling his stories and bonding with him.
He does eventually tell Raven about it , er him, but only with permission and the reason he wanted to introduce them was because it was clear that Danny was struggling with his perception of self. Beast Boy had opinions on Danny's former parents and grieves with him out loosing his sister, friends and family
Eventually those two trade off on the core definitely getting attached to the kid , the core Danny feeding off of a mixture of Ravens magic and emotional bonds with both of them. They get him checked up regularly with Constantine.
Now trying to get Danny who is a vote to stop using whatever ecto he manages to develop, he does meet the rest of the team, Dick playfully argues with Cyborg over being the favorite uncle , Starfire is ecstatic over being an aunt figure and each have the turn to hold Danny and talks to him.
When Danny does reform, he's not int he form of a scrawny too small , sixteen year old.
He's ten years younger, still covered in the scars of the ghost fights, his death and the scars from the attempted vivisection.
Too small, too thin , yet smiling up at both Beast Boys and Raven with the brightest smile.
Beast Boy: So...Dick. Does your dad have any spare adoption papers?
They have to find a way to the realms safely to get Danny checked by Frostbite who he mentioned was his ghost doctor.
On an entirely un-related note the Ghost Prince had gone missing, before he was even notified of his new title , had been missing now for several months. The Realms is getting antsy, and finally the Master of Time who knew where he was decided to finally allow Dannys old ghost friends to go and find him.
Well Fright Night is looking for a price the others Jsut want to look for him, especially three certain ghosts.
Too bad no one thought of teaching Danny about Ghost etiquette.or culture. Or anything really important. And they kept to themselves so much that little is known about.
