Hey watch this

What if Danny, after he becomes king, realizes that living criminals (?) and dangerous items are being dumped in the realms and he has both create a space to keep them contained/protected while figuring out who is dumping them there.

Shitty shock value title, BUT, hear me out.

Danny gets turned into a baby, not Dani.

Why? Pick your poison, but Dani ends up having to take care of her "older" brother... while homeless... and traveling... and surviving by stealing food.

Part 1 / Part 2

"Call me 13"

A tortured soul haunted by a ghost of his own creation trying to act tough.

My sister found these guys for me when she was on a trip with her job and

Danny tries to be nonconfrontational, its how hes always been, he'd rather people back off before anyone, himself or them, gets hurt. He was like that before becoming a halfa, he was like that as a halfa, and its a persistent part of his personality. So Danny is trying to calm Damian down and explain, but Damian is just so angry, and hes not listening, and Danny's anxiety is spiking.

Cujo, in life, was a Gaurd Dog in training for a not so savory group. He was put down because he was too friendly to be of any use to the group, but he was still trained by them, and he did remember some of what he was taught. So, when he sees a living boy antagonizing his boy, when he smelt the sour scent of anxiety on his boy, well, Cujo wasn't going to stand for it. He wasn't going to injure the living boy, that would just make his boy sad, but Cujo grew, not big, but to mid size, and shoved himself between them, loud barks rumbling from his chest, warning the living boy to back off.

(I imagined him jumping and instantly turning back into a puppy, but while I was writing the big dog that Danny easily holds on his shoulders without falling is also adorable. Btw I mean the front paws on his shoulders to reach his face)

As some people pointed out in the comments, I'd also like Danny to not want to interact further with the mini-Karen, who prejudges before understanding the situation, but I think, given Danny's personality, if Damian sincerely apologizes, he'll forgive him

Cujo, on the other hand-

This boy has disturbed his boy It's hard to forgive

"Sorry! He's not usually this unfriendly!"

Damian watches as Cujo makes sure he doesn't get too close to Danny

Danny and Damian.

Except he's not undetected. He's there less than a day before Tim realizes he's there and turns.

"Who's there? Show yourself."

Danny is surprised but fades into the visible spectrum.

"Uh... Hi? I'm Danny. I think... You might have given up a baby around sixteen years ago?"

At Tim's shocked expression, Danny starts to spiral. "I didn't mean to bring up any bad memories or anything! I just... Wanted to know the person who gave birth to me..."

Tim takes a moment to respond.

"You're not bringing up bad memories. Are you really my... Geez, I don't even know what your name is... I've always just been thinking of you as Baby."

It takes a moment for Danny to process. Once he does, he responds, "Danny. My name is Danny. I... I'm sorry I tried to stalk you! I just didn't know if you'd be okay with... Meeting me. I just..."

"It's okay! It's okay. Not the weirdest way I've met a relative, believe it or not. I'm... Honestly just relieved the stalking wasn't someone trying to hurt me. How'd you hide like that, by the way? No one's snuck up on me like that in years."

Danny laughs at that, surprised and relieved. They spend a few hours just talking. Danny already trusts Tim enough to share his ghostly secret, and Tim in turn tells Danny about his youth chasing criminals with Batman. When Danny is brave enough to ask about his conception, he's horrified at the answer.

"That's... Kind of a funny story... I, well my mentor kind of got lost in an interdimentional... Thing, and everyone thought he was dead. So I went to find him, and the only person who believed me was the leader of a death cult who wanted sex in exchange for his resources. It wasn't until later that I realized I was pregnant and then you were born. I gave you up because my family system wasn't exactly healthy and I didn't want Ra's to find out about you because he's freaking crazy and absolutely would kidnap you."

My piece for Haunting Heroes Discord server WCT. The theme was 'Wings'.

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.

The Batfamily has that weird bird whistles and chirping when their comms are off for some reason and as a form of coded language so enemies don't understand what they're saying.

But do you know who, or rather what, use chirping and whistles as a form of language? Ghosts.

Now imagine Danny, who is in Gotham for a field trip with his family (who has been learning Ghost Language after they found out their Danny-O is part spook), make some chirping sound in public, not paying attention, and everyone freeze.

Do you all remember that prompt where Danny gets mistaken for a vampire and decides to play along?

When you think about it, ghosts and vampires actually have quite a few things in common. Not culturally, obviously, but in terms of powers and the whole “technically undead” situation. Which naturally made me think about our favorite wannabe vampire: Vlad.

So what if vampires aren’t actually a real species?

What if the entire concept of vampires exists because Vlad once tried to take over the world by traveling back in time? Danny managed to stop him before he could achieve his goal, but he couldn’t undo all the consequences of Vlad’s actions.

Imagine Vlad showing up centuries in the past with ghost powers, flight, super strength, mind control, ectoplasm, glowing eyes, an obsession with dramatic capes, and a tendency to bite people when he’s feeling particularly unhinged. The locals see this and go, “Ah yes, clearly this is a vampire.”

Danny eventually fixes the timeline enough to stop Vlad’s scheme, but he can’t erase the stories. The legends spread. People keep adding details over the centuries until an entire vampire mythology exists.

Fast forward to the present.

Danny gets mistaken for a vampire.

At first he tries to correct people, but then someone mentions that Batman has a file on “possible metahuman vampire activity” and suddenly it becomes way too funny to stop.

So Danny commits.

Bruce: Ugh, thank you, but please don't compare me to an owl.

Dani: Why?

Bruce: I prefer to be wise like....a fox.

Danny: No matter how much you try to manifest it, you will not grow up to be a silver fox. That's Alfred's title and no one can challenge him for it.

Alfred: Thank you Master Danny.

Bruce: No that's not the reason. I just don't like owls.

Dan: Is this about Owlman?

Bruce nervously: Ha ha who?

Dan whispering to his siblings: In an alternate universe, Bruce goes crazy and dresses up as Owlman.

Danny whispers back: In comparison to the sane decision, of dressing up as Batman?

Dan: Owlman liked to murder people. Batman just likes to hit them

Dani: Who's Batman?

Danny/Dan: What? We've been living with Batman for the past eight months. I mean, he doesn't know that we know, but we know.

Dani: Stop talking at the same time. It's creepy. That's how you wind up at the orphanage. Bruce can barely stand that we're posing as triplets and I dont know about you idiots, but I am not going to be a eight year old orphan in a Gotham Orphanage.

Danny: Oh bo-hoo you got de-aged four years, I lost six! I was two years away from a driving license!

Dan: I was twenty four. And now I'm eight. But honestly, I kinda like it. My back pain is gone.

Bruce: Kids? Why are you whispering under the table like that?

Danny/Dan/Danny: I was just telling them how much the nannies at pick up go wild whenever Alfred walks by.

Bruce: .....

Dani: Why are you silent? Was it the weird three voices speaking at once thing? I told them not to do that anymore. We are open to an exorcism if you think it helps.

Bruce: No. I just had flashbacks to when Alfred would drop me off at shcool. So many nannies that were.....excited and verbal about thier excitement.

Alfred smug: I still got it.
