So after having a sort of redemption arc, Dan goes to Clockwork and asks if him could be reincarnated. CW agrees and Dan becomes Bruce Wayne, with all his memories intact.
(Heâs still in the same universe as before so Danny (18), Dani(16), Jazz(20), etc are still alive and kicking)
He still has his Batman training montage but when he goes to Circus Haley he takes in Dick Grayson because he doesnât want the boy to be fueled with anger like he was after the Nasty Burger accident.
So, Robin takes flight.
Bruce never mentions his previous life to Dick, and whenever he has to deal with a ghost issue, Alfred covers for him.
Bruce adopts Jason, Tim, Cass, Duke and when Damian comes around, Bruceâs sees someone so angry, so hurt he decides to get his shit together to parent right.
When Jason returns, Bruce figures out the entire Pit madness thing and fixes that for him.
(If he has a romantic relationship with Talia, Selina, Clark etc is up to you) (I personally ship Hal and Bruce together in this AU)
Maybe one day, he gets injured.
Badly.
Heâs bleeding green and he flickering between his Humana and ghost form while his children watch in horror.
The only solution is to call Danny and Dani

His poor fucking kids watch as he presses a button they've only seen once each. It's the button to summon "some old friends". Which has NEVER been fucking used. They aren't panicking, don't be ridiculous. Hahaha. Why would they be panicked?!?! It's not like he's using the button⢠or anything!!!?!?!?! Oh, oh fuck. He meant literally summon. Is this how he helped Jason? That shade of green looks like the shit he used to help with the pit madness.... Oh, ok. Three people a bit older than Dick's age fly through the portal. Jazz is immediately at his side patching him up. While Ellie and Danny? Good the portal so Frostbite can get through to heal him properly. Summoned with slight use of the panicked tone.
Once Bruce/Dan is all patched up, asleep, and clearly stable? The Batkids are going to be very curious. Who dis? New person?!? Hello. How you know our Dad person?
Ellie: He's a Dad now?!?!
Jazz: He didn't even tell us!!!!!!
Danny: Missing the point guys. We have many years of gift giving to catch up on for the niblings!!!!!! We! Are your Dad person siblings! Well. Sort of? Umm, long story? Brucie is the reincarnated soul of our big bro.
Jazz: We missed so many years of spoiling the kids!!!! Please tell me at least some of you are young enough to spoil??
Ellie: Young enough to encourage mischief!?!
Danny: This is absolutely why he didn't tell us.
Dick: We have Aunts? An Uncle? B is such a bastard at times!

Everyone kind of agrees, Daniel Fenton was (or at least *had been*) in a cult. He seemed. . . normal enough, on the surface. Granted, everyone in Gotham was kind of weird, but he didn't stand out in many ways. Just passing him on the street, you'd think he's a normal twenty-something year old with a slightly odd fashion sense, but Danny's colleagues knew better. At his orientation, he was given a work phone. A perfectly normal, average, phone. To be used for work. And everyone there watched as Danny laughed and said (declared, really, in that awkward tone of his) that he had never used one before.
The older guys at the shop claimed he had an "old soul", which Danny laughed with them about, but even they started giving Danny odd looks when he didn't know common things about the world, or history, or advancements that everyone (even those older than Danny) had been taught in school. They tried not to mention it. Danny was smart and kind and funny and did more than his fair share, but the more he opened up to everyone, the more odd things became apparent.
His past has strange holes in it. He'd clam up when he had to mention specific locations, or names of places (besides some place called "The Nasty Burger", which he equated to the Batburger), and he always looked distinctly forlorn when talking about his friends and sister. He never spoke of his parents, and he always looked scared when someone asked about them in passing. Sometimes he would talk about someone named Vlad with a bit more cheer, even if Danny said they were "arch-nemeses", and he would always light up whenever anyone asked about his kids, even if he never mentioned another parent. (He did say Vlad had something to do with both of them, but never really elaborated. Mostly because he was distracted by some story about the man.)
His manners and habits were the strangest part of him, though. He'd often curse in a strange language none of them (or Google) knew or could identify, and when he did curse in English, he often referenced (or blamed, quite frankly) things on "Observants" or "Ancients". He'd hum to himself while he worked, one note, one tone, that seemed to go on for way too long. The rare times he'd eat lunch with others, his food was always moderately glowing, or it just looked. . . odd. (He always claimed his kids added something to it.) Sometimes he'd look confused about normal physical interactions, and once he tried to greet someone by crossing one arm over his chest and bowing.
Then there was a "bring your kid to work" day. It was mostly just a bonding activity for the team, but Danny looked quite excited by the prospect. He boasted about his kids the whole week leading up to the day. When he came to the party, he had a young girl hanging from his arm with a nearly devilish grin. She was nearly a carbon copy, and she introduced herself as "Danielle". Just when Mark (the man that sat next to Danny and dealt with most of his strangeness) was about to laugh about how Danny named her after himself, a rather burly man walked in and got to Danny's side. Danny beamed and introduced him as Dan, his son, despite the fact that Dan looked to be in his mid-thirties.
Yeah, everyone decided that day. Definitely a cult thing.
That is until one day Danny laughed and someone saw a glint of his fangs. Then slowly, someone else saw his eyes glowing from time to time, him disappearing randomly, his unnaturally cold skin. Thing after thing cascaded until rumors started to change, he's a vampire. Makes sense doesn't talk about parents, most likely died hundreds of years ago, he mentions Vlad, he of course means Vladimir the impaler. He has a son that looks so much older than him.
Danny is an old vampire, the jury is still out about a cult, he lived a long time and he's weird enough
This makes Danny paradoxically more trustworthy. They know what's up with him now, so he's predictable. He's probably too old and experienced to be into the usual rogue tantrums. He's got kids, weird as they are. He's probably about as stand-up a guy as a vampire can be, which is admirable.
Danny experiences this as people finally getting used to him, relaxing, lightening up a bit. It's great!
But some gothamites start an ongoing argument about whether the Vlad Danny talks about is Vlad the Impaler or Vlad Dracula (or whether this whole argument is stupid because they're the same person oh my god you guys why). This leads to people hanging on Danny's every word when he talks about Vlad, for the Lore drops that will either bolster or undermine their side of the Argument.
Danny has no context for this sudden interest in Vlad. Clearly, the fruitloop has started a cult in Gotham. Which is absolutely his problem. Ugh.
Danny confronts Vlad about it, which makes Vlad just curious and indignant enough to come to Gotham.
This does not help defuse the vampire rumours.
Quite unfortunately, Vlad didn't find it necessary to tell Danny about his trip to the dark city. He arrived in a fancy three piece suit (which might've been a tad bit outdated) and a pair of much too fancy shades. Perhaps not the best outfit to traverse a crime-ridden area in, but Vlad would rather die again than wear something unrefined.
Vlad walked into the shop like he owned the place, sipping a bright red concoction he bought at an overpriced smoothie shop. The bell above the door rang a bit too harshly when he stepped over the threshold. Danny rolled his eyes as Vlad leaned against the counter and pushed up his sunglasses. Danny's coworkers watched in morbid fascination as the two exchanged words (Vlad's in a lazy, nearly smug drawl, Danny's tense and through gritted teeth). Their conversation wasn't much to go off of, but everyone could see the red "smoothie" that stained Vlad's teeth (too sharp for a human). Everyone could tell that the older man (who, if Danny was to be believed, should be in his fifties or sixties) looked no more than thirty. Younger still, probably, if he were to dye his hair black and shave off his neatly kept beard.
Danny waved off their questions after he managed to shoo Vlad out of the shop. Only once Danny went home for the night did the others in the shop begin to whisper about their mysterious visitor. They *had* to be vampires, didn't they? Odd vampires, since they seemed to be able to walk anywhere without invitation and sunlight didn't burn them, but vampires nonetheless. Several of them (Mark included) believed that Danny was actually *older* than Vlad. Vlad was much more educated, and he seemed more comfortable around new technology (Danny still squinted at the screens and was slow when doing anything with them).
The next natural course of action, of course, was figuring out what time period Danny was from, and how to make his time at their shop less painful. Removing the mirrors was easy, there weren't many anyway, and everyone agreed to remove any silver jewellery or crosses they had on their person. They even switched out the old salt and pepper shakers in the break room for packets. It'd be bad if they spilled and Danny had to spend a whole day counting the grains, wouldn't it?
Danny, as always, was none the wiser. If anything, he thinks his coworkers are leaving a religion that they didn't fit into, and smiles encouragingly at them when he sees them tossing away their crosses. They think this is conformation that he was being hurt by them, and ramp up their efforts ten-fold.
"Oh, come on! This is totally gonna stain," Nightwing complained as he wiped at the dubious gunk coating his suit.Â
"Stop whining, it ain't that big a deal," Hood waved a hand in dismissal.
"Says you!" Nightwing snapped, "What, just cause your clothes are leather and don't stain means you have no sympathy for the rest of us?"
"Hate to break it to you Wing, but leather absolutely stains," Hood replied.
"What? Then why are your clothes always spotless even after a fight with Condiment King?" Nightwing demanded.
Hood nonchalantly shrugged a shoulder, "I have a guy."
"A guy?"
"Yeah, a cleaner guy."Â
"Why do you have a cleaner guy?"
"I run a crime empire," Hood deadpanned with a flat expression, "I take out drug dealers and pedophiles on a daily basis, you think I clean that shit up myself?"
"Maybe! I don't know how crime stuff works!" Nightwing threw his hands up in exasperation.
"Well I don't," Hood replied matter-of-factly, "That's what Danny's for, he cleans up all my major blood baths and biohazards."
"Huh." Nightwing looked down at his suit and the gloop already soaking deep into the fabric. "...Think Danny could clean this for me?"
"What? No, get your own Danny!"
"But you already have a Danny! Can't I just borrow him?"
"No! If I let you borrow Danny then everyone is gonna wanna borrow Danny and, last I checked, I'm the only one who has him on payroll."
"I can pay! I'll pay whatever you want, just name your price!"
Danny never thought that Desiree was serious on her threats, or at least the threats that had to do with "turning him into a duck and abandoning him in another dimension."
But it seems that even ghost genies had their limits, because the third time he "ruined her plans," she made good on her threat. Danny wasn't worried about Amity, Team Phantom could take care of that just fine.
He was more concerned about his webbed feet and duckbill. Plus the fact that he showed up in the middle of a warehouse occupied by mobsters, although the supposed mobsters were more involved in trying to catch him (were his ears wrong or had he heard an "aww"?) than killing him. One of them even named him "Duck Hood."
Jason didn't know how to feel watching all his employees chase a duck. It was a weird duck, with glowing green eyes (was it possible for a duck to dive into the pits??), and he was sure he saw it float by at some point, but at least his "lair" was a little more lively.
He wondered if he should give it to Damian or keep it.
He ends up getting an entire room and a kiddie pool too. Damien caught wind of another âbat petâ and has since made the room even better. Does Danny still escape and cause chaos? Yes. He decides to reenact a popular game he saw once back home. He can now be seen dragging a knife or stealing keys fairly often.
This is the specific type of duck that Danny has been turned into. Itâs called the Redhead Duck (shocker).
And here are all my favorite tags from everyone elseâs posts. I would give anything to see someone draw Duck Danny in a little costume lovingly hand sewn by a goon. đŚ
Desire never meant to leave Phantom as a duck permanently. She was just annoyed with him and wanted to to teach him a lesson. She periodically checked in on him just to make sure that this âlessonâ (read: prank) never went to far. Danny was never really in danger, her spell was structured in a way that it would come undone if he was ever truly threatened. Still there were non threatening ways to go to far so she kept watch on him. Honestly she had meant to turn him back after a few days, but it looked like he was having so much fun. Phantom was always so stressed, it was nice to see the kid relaxed. (Maybe they were wrong about the kid having a âheroâ obsession. A ghost indulging their obsession shouldnât be so stressed.) It was on one of these check-ins when she witnessed this, and well honestly she couldnât resist.
The scene was a massacre, the Jokerâs henchmen were sprawled across the warehouse and in the center there stood Joker glaring at the source of ďżźďżźthe chaos. Duck Hood looked as smug as a duck could look.
Jason, a few hood game members, and various bats had just arrived to stop the Jokerâs scheme only to find this scene.
The Joker look about at the end of his rope and he shouts. âI am sick of this blasted Duck! I wish it was gone!â
âAs you have wished it, so it shall beâ there is a puff of smoke and now there is a potential Wayne adoption candidate cracking his knuckles.
âHey clownface ready for round two?â Danny says with a smirk âIâve had a âfowlâ couple couple of weeks and need to let off some rightfully placed aggressionâ
Red hood glares at Batman, âDonât even think about itâ
(At some point before this scene I want. Danny to swim in a Lazarus pit like a duck on a pond)
Also after he is turned back to normal he will occasionally make duck references or jokes. Such as reenacting Jamesâs Veitchâs rubber ducky prank or giving friends/family red duck candles.
Jason and his gang will be so sad. No more duck hood. But also, holy shot. It was an angry teen stuck in duck shape. That makes so much more sense.
Also, imagine the gang fight where duck hood is first seen. Red Hood jumps in, bullets flying. And suddenly from above you hear "Quack!" And are hit with projectiles. Duck Hood carried paint bombs to drop in the enemies and cause confusion. And by the Ancients did it work.
Okay, but, hear me out @illya-roma : Combine this with Danny being Jason's equivalent from his dimension, making any DNA tests (hey, they don't know what sort of medical issues a duck-turned-teen might have!) show them being related.
So now the bats are under the impression that the fucking wish that the joker of all people made, made Duck hood Jason's child.
Bold to assume that the Arkham guards won't just let the duck in after Danny teaches Crane to fear the Fowl. They got a betting pool on who the duck is going to psychologically torture next. They also do research and try to feed him. He eats fruits and veggies just fine, if they're mostly fresh. Trying to get the duck to eat meat isn't great until someone jokingly offers a piece of cheap steak that had went cold in the lounge. The guards give him small amounts of cooked meat. Though, a guard did get smacked when he gave the duck, duck meat. Danny kinda stopped computing when he realized what he had in his bill was going to get him labeled a cannibal. So he just let it fall out and waddled off, clearly traumatized.
Danny's a very well fed duck.
Duck is also never served again in the manor. Having a great/grandson or nephew that's a duck is kinda weird when you go out to eat.
No one outside of the Wayne's and Joker know that Duck Hood can turn into a human boy.
I also want Danny to watch Jason practice with the All Blades and decide, "Huh, that's cool. I'm going to do that." And just does something similar.
Some unholy demon is the big bad. Maybe Trigon? Perfect moment to be a boy with giant wings and a halo of flaming swords. The black haired boy isn't strong enough like this, so halos of white light consume his body and reveal a version in a reversed color palette. He reignites his flame swords, this time looking like white through a prism with green inner flames. His own hair ignites similarly with the blades. Lazarus Water eyes dead set on the enemy.
When all is said and done, Jason goes to try to calm his son, who looks like an infuriated angel. The second Danny sees Jason, he calms down and turns into a duck to sit in Jason's outstretched hands.
Jason is proudly parading his duck son.
(Diana and the magic users are wondering if this is a Zeus the swan incident type of thing.
"Who's the mother Jason?"
"Me. I'm so proud of my boy."
"Ah. đĽ˛"
Constantine is questioning why he gets so much shit for his man whore tendencies when the Red Hood literally got in on with duck. Or a god that looked like a duck.)

Danny at the tender age of 23, has had a bad month. He had just lost his job as an interpreter with his company due to rejecting the advances of one of the older female bosses and his landlord was trying to screw him over on rent.
It honestly surprised him when he woke up one day with his wrists bound in front of him and trapped in a tube. He had been out of the hero game since the portals closed up years ago and Vlad lost his powers, so it had been a while since the whole "kidnapping" thing had happened to him.
He looked out through the glass of the tube as he turned intangible to let the IV needles fall out of his arms. There luckly wasn't any glowing green goo in the tube with him, but he doubts it will stay that way long as the scientists outside his containment chatted happily about "the discovery of the decade!" Ick.
He waits till they're gone before turning intangible slipping out of his tube and heading straight for the computer. He knew how to hack, but he was low on time and needed to know exactly what was going on, so some ghostly meddling with electronics were necessary. Sorry Tuck.
It was at this moment he found out several things.
1. Danny had apparently been here for several months instead of the few days he had initially assumed
2. He was found somewhere in his own thermos, asleep. Luckily they haven't been able to replicate any technology from it.
3. Superheros were a very real thing now. How long had he been asleep?
4. He had been cloned. Again. But this time he had someone else's DNA mixed in with the clones to make them more stable and intelligent. Some guy named Red Robin. Huh. Was that his real name or...?
Danny took a deep breath before locating his new clone kids. Ellie would be thrilled...if she was still around that is. He could think about that later, right now he had to grab his babies-and oh ancients- they were babies! The oldest of the three looked four years old at most and the youngest looked only a few hours. He was still all pink and alien looking.
Luckily his children didn't fight him when he picked them up and flew through the walls with them. He made a mental note to teach them stranger danger when he came across a large red button.
You won't believe what it was labeled as. Yep. A self destruct button. How clichĂŠ. Whatever. He pushed it and sirens immediately started to go off and he continued flying them through walls before exited into a dark gothic city he knew Sam would immediately love.
Somehow he managed to immediately land a job as a linguist for Wayne tech. Probably thanks to the three small kids he had and the panicked look on his face. Bruce was a really chill dude.
Batman however, was a prick. He met the guy weeks after his run in with Bruce and he kept popping up after he found out the clone babies were partially from one of his birds and trying to take custody away from him or convince him to give them up. Danny retaliated by spreading the rumor/truth that his kids where Red Robins from creepy cloning scientists that kidnapped him before immediately moving out of Gotham and into Fawcett City to work for a competitors company. This way Red couldn't legally go after him for custody without revealing his identity :)
This is how Red Robin, at the tender age of 25, learned he had kids with a man named Daniel Nightengale. Not only that, Bruce knew about them and didn't tell him.
Danny made it clear that if any of the Gotham Rouges tried to follow him and harm his kids they would come back missing a hand. Joker found out the hard way that he wasn't bluffing.
Shazams old guy mentor almost has an aneurysm when he senses the freaking GHOST KING living in Fawcett. Danny is also much more powerful then ever before and accidentally made the power go out in half the city when he got truly angry with Batman.
Please stop giving me more hyper fixations relating to Danny Phantom and Batman crossovers I keep needing more to the point where I need to write it to satisfy my needs.
Danny had left a mark on Gotham when he left with his kids in tow, trying to avoid a freaking custody battle with BATMAN. Literally a man dressed like a bat that ran around in the night and beat up criminals. If the fact that superheroes were now a common thing wasnât enough, imagine having a custody battle with one for three clones of yourself. Itâs weird.
The bigger mark may have been the fact that Danny may or may not have mangled one of the most dangerous criminals of the city, the Joker. A stupid idiot of a man who thought it was a good idea to steal his kids to taunt Batman with. Since apparently the truth about their other clone dad happening to be Red Robin, one of Batmanâs birds, had circled to him and he thought killing kids would be fun. Now he was in an actual hospital because he terrified Dannyâs kids, left one too many bruises (which was a single small bruise on his oldest cheek after being smack for biting, Danny was proud but also livid that anyone would ever lay a hand on his daughter). Did he go overboard in tearing apart the facility and they literally tearing off the maniacs arm? Maybe. But he did warn everyone that if they hurt any of his kids, he was coming for blood.
They were just lucky he didnât kill anyone.
So he had three kids with him, was now working for a competitors company of Bruce Wayneâs in Faucett City, and building up a new life. He felt a little bad for ditching Wayne Corps for LexCorp, the Wayne company had some amazing benefits and holidays, not to mention it was a very chill environment. But he could not handle dealing with Batman every goddamn night.
LexCorp had some pretty decent benefits as well, not as amazing as the Wayne Company but it was way better than other jobs had to offer. And again. Three kids to feed. Three kids that may or may not be half ghost as well. He never got that far on the files at that creepy kidnapper place, too focused on leaving. All he knew was that they had half of his DNA, and half of this Red Robinâs DNA (of which he had yet to meet this dude.) The oldest was his daughter, who he named Asterope (Aster for short), named after a member of the Pleiades open star cluster, as well as one of the Pleiades sisters from Greek mythology. She was smart in a way that reminded Danny of Jazz, and she had a fierce fire in her heart like Danny himself. She was the one who bit one of the Jokerâs henchmen when they threatened her younger siblings. She was only four, which broke Dannyâs heart to see such a serious look on her face from time to time, and he was determined to make sure she didnât have to raise the younger siblings like Jazz had to raise Danny. He wanted to see her serious face when she argued why she needed an extra scoop of ice cream, not why she could stay home alone and watch the younger two. The middle child, about 2 years old from what Danny read, was a shy boy. Danny named him Kapteyn (he seemed to enjoy the nickname, Teynny) after the Red Dwarf star that had so much proper motion it would move from its recorded position and go missing, as well as Danny picked a red dwarf star as a relation to the âRedâ Robin. Like his sister, he had an intelligence to him in his owlish eyes. He rarely spoke, and wasnât as brash as Aster, but he had a knack for well timed distractions. More than once had Aster snuck extra snacks from behind Dannyâs back while Tyenny knocked over a glass or made a new noise. Little troublemakers and Danny was quite proud of the pair. And his youngest, only a couple of months old, he named Vela. The smallest recorded star. She was going to be the death of Danny, she was so small and he constantly feared the worst happening to her. All three children had black hair and blue eyes, though Vela and Aster had paler blue eyes while Tyenny had richer blue eyes. Yet Tyenny and Vela had signs of freckles while Aster lacked them. It gave Danny a small idea of what this Red Robin could look like but it wouldnât be enough. He wasnât even sure if he wanted to meet the guy.
Only because Batman was so aggressive about custody, what would he expect from the guy who was trained by him and the actual other father?
Danny didnât want to know.
He had been doing fine without being a hero every second of his life, and he would do fine now. He wasnât sure if he still held his title as Ghost King after his disappearance, he still didnât know if his friends and family were still alive based on the time he seemed to lose, and he couldnât really check on it because he couldnât drag his kids across the planet looking for them OR leave them for a day.
So his plan? Get settled. Use a nice cushy job for money, and dig up information the human way. Through the Internet and normal human transportation. (Yet Aster was showing signs of being half ghost, and he would be more surprised if the other two were fully human, so traveling through the ghost zone wasnât an impossible idea.)
The idea of his kids being half ghosts also put a fear into him related to his other clone, Dani. Dani had been unstable when he first discovered her, and he had watched other clones of himself destabilize into green goo. And his fear was that one day he would wake up to find those piles of goo and his kids gone. None of them showed any signs of destabilizing, but that didnât ease his fears any. He even debated bringing them to a hospital for a check up, just to see if everything was okay. Maybe even bring them to Frostbite one day to confirm or deny any ghostliness being passed down.
He flopped onto the couch of his new apartment in Fawcett city, warm bottle in hand for Vela, his youngest gently cradled in the other, and Aster playing some sort of chase game with Tyenny. Heâd need to make dinner soon, mac and cheese (he needed to learn more recipes, his single life meals were not the most nutritious things his kids should be eating on a daily basis). Being Ghost King? Easy! You wave a hand and ghosts leave, you punch Skulker in the face to back off, strength determined everything. Being a Dad?
Oh. Oh boy that was more difficult.
He had to feed his kids at regular times instead of his usually eat when he hungry. He had to tuck them into bed. Tyenny and Aster were potty trained but Vela was a baby and therefore needed regular changes. She needed to be fed more. She woke up in the middle of the night crying either for food, a diaper change, or comfort. Tyenny and Aster had horrible night terrors that Danny also had to comfort. Sleep was almost non-existent.
Then he also had to work.
He needed babysitters or just take his kids with him. The manager above him at LexCorp said it was fine to bring his kids with him, but that they also had a daycare he could leave them at. He couldnât leave them anymore though. Last time he did that they got kidnapped.
He wasnât dealing with that again.
He leaned back slightly, watching his kids laugh as they tripped over each other.
He wouldnât trade anything in the world for them though.

âWhat do you mean that I have kids?!â Tim fumed, glaring at Bruce with a burning gaze.
Bruce, still wearing his cowl, let out a small âhrmphâ. It wasnât an answer.
Tim hissed and brought up the papers he printed, papers containing information he came across by ACCIDENT. Information that should have been shared with him the moment Bruce got ahold of it. âBatman is trying to steal my kids, Red Robin is the father?! Gothams custody battle of the century?!?â Tim shook the paper, âwere you planning on telling me AFTER bringing back three kids that apparently have my DNA?â
âTheyâre clones, Tim. It was a sensitive matter. And Daniel Nightingale has made this more difficult than it needed to be. I would have told you-,â
âYou SHOULD have told me the moment you found out! Now this man has left Gotham with all three kids! My clones! I should be the one dealing with this!â Tim scowled, âwhy did they even clone me? How did they get my DNA?â
âThey got it when you leave it all over the streets.â
Bruce and Tim turned to see Jason standing near one of his bikes, lazily looking at his hands like he was uninterested in their conversation. If it wasnât for his helmet, Tim would have sworn he had the smuggest look on his face.
âThis conversation has nothing to do with you,â Tim hissed.
âWhoa, Red got teeth tonight,â Jason hummed.
âShut up. Iâm going to find them myself and get to the bottom of this,â Tim shoved past Bruce, anger clear on his face.
âDo you even know where to look?â
Tim whipped his head to Jason, âlike you would know.â
âI do know. A couple of days ago the Joker was admitted into emergency care, he doesnât have a left arm anymore. Some of my sources say he took your little clone babies and something else came after them madder than a mother hen. I made a point to keep track of the kids after that.â
âWhy the hell would you do that?â
âBecause whatever mangled the Joker is a best friend my books. Never had I ever seen that bastard so terrified of shadows in my entire life. If I find the kids, I find the person who saved them, and then I can personally thank them for giving the clown what he deserves.â
âShow me the way.â

Danny. Was fucking. Exhausted.
One week into his job.
One weeks.
Ancients.
He has had 2 hours of sleep.
LexCorp was a bad idea.
He should go back to Gotham.
At least Batman is somewhat civil.
This entire thing is a mess.
Here Danny stood, Vela in one arm, Tyenny in the other, and Aster clinging to his leg.
Some sort of⌠flying magic man in a red skin suit with a big lightning bolt on it was throwing some sort of robot through the wall. Danny was just doing his job when this all started. He didnât know how it all started. He just wanted to leave. He was pretty sure this was getting into hallucination territory.
He managed to make it to the ground floor without much trouble (thanks to intangibility and his kids super chill with his ghost power use.) He then walked right through a wall, existing the building, and coming face to face with Lex Luthor himself. The boss of bosses. Head of LexCorp.
They stared at each other, then Danny scowled as he noticed a glint in the manâs eye that he knew all too well. Itâs easy to spot when your arch-nemesis had the same look. âI donât think Iâm a great fit here.â He huffed and pushed past the billionaire, only for him to chuckle and turn around.
âThose are the alleged Red Robin clones, arenât they?â Neither weâre paying much mind to the building being destroying by flying man in red and his robot enemy.
âAnd you are an evil rich white man. I should have known. At least Wayne didnât have any active brain cells to be evil. No thoughts run though that manâs head.â
âI can protect them-.â
Danny held up a hand to stop him, âno. Nope. No. Fuck off.â He was not dealing with this, walking away and whispering to his kids, âdonât say fuck unless someone REALLY deserves it.â
Danny heard a click behind him, and he blamed his lack of sleep on being to slow to turn intangible as the bullet went through his head.
-
-
-
Tim screamed as he leapt at the bald man, anger shooting through him as he saw Daniel Nightingale fall and the three small children with him begin to wail in distress.
Tim saw the bullet go through the mans head, and he was too slow to prevent another death. If Bruce had just told him sooner, this may have never happened!
Tim brought down his staff, but a henchmen got in his way and took the hit. More began to circle around him, just as Jason came to a halt behind him and bearing dual pistols. He took a step towards Danielâs figure when the kids hissed at him, only the small baby still cradled in Daniels arms crying while the other two put on brave faces with tears in their eyes. Jason turned his gaze to the surrounding henchmen when movement caught everyoneâs eyes.
From the man who was supposed to be dead.
Daniel Nightingale shifted, slowly dragging a free hand in a position to push himself up, baby still in his arms and slowly calming down as he whispered to them. He turned his head and everyone froze, toxic green eyes blazing. He gently handed the baby to the four year old, gently getting her to sit to make it easier to hold the baby. Once the three children are gathered and sitting is when he turns, shadows along his face making it seem unnatural, terrifying as he steps towards Luthor.
âYou scared my children. Surely you heard what happens to the people who do such horrible things?â
Tim didnât see what happened next, it was like the entire area was dipped into shadows, all he heard was screaming and cracking.
When it was all over, broken men lay on the ground around the vigilantes, and Daniel was crouched over the three kids, checking them for injuries. He glanced back at the two, eyes lingering on Jason for much longer than Tim. âIâm assuming one of you is Red Robin?â
Tim slowly raised a hand.
âI need a fucking nap. And itâs time for you to pay child support.â
Tim isn't entirely sure why he allowed Daniel to practically drag him by the hand to the other guys apartment, but he was glad he did. The place seemed homey, comfortable and tidy despite it being obviously lived in.
Mr. Nightengale had locked the door before smiling at them. A heavyness filled the air making it hard to breath and sending a shiver up Tim's spine, and by the way Jason stiffened next to him he knew he felt it too. "Here's whats going to happen." The ravenette began, "You're going to watch your kids for a few hours while I take a shower and a nap."
Red Robin gave him a confused look, "Whats stopping us from taking the kids and leaving?"
The smirk on Daniels face told him enough. "You saw what I did to those guys in just three seconds. Imagine what I could do to you if you were to actually kidnap them." And with that, he walked into a the master bedroom and presumably the attached bathroom because Tim heard the shower start a few minutes later.
Jason took a look around before turning towards the kids, "So what do you guys do for fun around here?"
----
Danny stirred in his bed sometime in the evening, the siren song of a fresh cooked meal rousing him from his slumber. Oh ancients. When was the last time he had something that smelled that good?
Shuffling out of his bedroom and down the hall to the living room and kitchen he saw Red Hood standing in front of the stove cooking a rather large meal. Danny had to keep himself from salivating as he saw it, chicken fried rice, cheese enchiladas with a side of chips and salsa. Danny could kiss this man!
"Hello sleeping beauty!" Hood greeted through the voice modulator in his helmet. Realizing he had been staring he blushed and rubbed the back of his neck, "Morning Hood. Thank you for cooking dinner. I slept longer than I thought I would."
Red Robin smiled up at him from the couch where the kids were sitting on either side of him while the Pokemon Movie 3 played on the TV. Again. Ancients, he was getting sick of that movie but Aster just couldn't get enough of it.
Moving to sit next to Teynny on the couch, "How were the kids? Did they give you any trouble?"
"Not really. We've watched movies and colored most of the day. You should have seen Hood with the Dora coloring book!"
"The Dora the explorer one?" Danny asked, trying and failing to imagine the big buff guy sitting at his kids play table coloring with them.
"The very same."
"Hey!" Hood called from the kitchen, "If we're talking about ridiculous things then why don't you tell your boyfriend about your first ever diaper change?"
That caught Dannys attention, "What happened?" He asked at the same time Red Robin groaned and sunk into the couch.
Luckily Teynny chose that time to intervene on his fathers behalf and shoved his Fletchinder plushie into Red Robins hands. Danny had somehow fostered a deep love for pokemon and animals into his kids without meaning to and now the kids were obsessed with them. So much so that he had to learn how to make stuffed animals himself just because he could never find the ones his kids wanted at the stores or online. He had noticed before that Fletchinder probably reminded the kids of Red Robin -which was probably why he was forced to make an antire basket of the birds.
Danny was taken aback when Red flung the bird in a way that made it look like it was flying into the other room. He understood a moment later when his son grabbed his stuffed pokeball and ran after it, giggling the entire while. At this very moment Asters favorite pokemon, Fluffy appeared on the screen and she hopped off the couch and ran over to it and shoved her own stuffed Flaffy (made with sparkly pink fabrics at his daughter's request) into the screen.
"Uh, what is she doing?" Red asked as thier son returned with the bird and made him throw another one.
Danny huffed out a laugh, "She's making sure Sparkles gets to see her friend."
"Ah."
Vela, thier baby girl, began to get fussy from where she was laying in Tim's arm, the horn of her unicorn onesie smooshed against the red of the robins chest armor. "Mm. Its her dinner time. She hates when its late."
Red didn't even ask questions, he just got up and went to feed her. Danny followed behind him to the kitchen where Red Hood was finishing up. "So." Danny began somewhat awkwardly as he watched the bird make a bottle with his one free hand, "What days do you want?"
Both of the men froze, "What do you mean?" Hood asked, as he plated some of the rice.
"For visitation. What days do you want to swing by?"
-------
Danny had learned that the safest place for his kids to be right now was in the spotlight. The more people who knew about them the harder it would be to for someone to run off with them and hide them, *cough* batman *cough* so he made sure everyone in thier mother knew about his kids and thier -annoyingly famous- Father. How? Social media.
Let's just say his followers got lots of pictures of Red Hood and Red Robin playing with pokemon toys and coloring books alongside his kids. If his social media was soon flooded with the drawings his kids drew of them and a mysterious figure in a black and white jumpsuit then that was no ones business but hisown.
Not that it stopped people from speculating and coming up with wild (and admittedly entertaining) theories
@im-totally-not-an-alien-2 hereâs some world building and i added my favourite phantom elf au cause it works amazingly in this context
Hereâs the thing.
Danny did extensive research into whether Amity Park was still around. Answer is: Maybe.
He looked into the possibility of this being a different universe kind of situation. That came back negative even though nothing really comes up about Amity Park on the internet other then a single news article about the Mayor election that Danny remembers vividly because Plasmius. Ugh.
He looked into the possibility of a time jump and actually did confirm that it has been 200 years which sucks but he was expecting it and he will grieve AFTER he searches the Ghost Zone for his family and friends.
He has opened small portals into the Ghost Zone and yes it is still exactly the way he left it before this whole situation and yes he is still The King. Skulker was ecstatic that he âhas come out of hidingâ and has gone back to picking fights with him. Not that Danny really minds since he knows itâs because of his obsession and Skulker knows his people are off limits if he wants to continue fulfilling said obsession, which means his kids are actually safer when Skulker is there cause he is watching to make sure they arenât in danger too (even if itâs only so Danny will continue to allow him to hunt him since he has the power to order him to stop⌠and although he wonât admit it, being called Uncle Skulky has him just a little moved).
Danny may have, however, forgot to take several things into account.
One is the long term affect on Amity Park and itâs inhabitants in terms of extending their lifespan due to the ectoplasm exposure which he accidentally made worse when he claimed the city as his haunt and thus drenched everything again in more pure ectoplasm.
Two is the fact that Danny had ASKED Tucker to make Amity Park pretty much unsearchable via internet due to stupid self-proclaimed Ghost Hunters just showing up and making a mess of things even AFTER the anti-ecto acts were abolished. Which means Amity Park got news on the Worldâs situation if they want it but not vice-versa.
Three is that when he became King and let only the people of Amity Park in on the fact that Fenton is Phantom. The ENTIRE city helped hide his status and brutally beat the shit out of government agents (and anyone else for that matter) that came poking around, which created a âAmity Protects Their Ownâ mindset. This lead to practically no one moving into or out of the city. You still could move of course but honestly why would anyone move INTO a ânatural disaster zoneâ with âparanoid people who side eye you and stop talking when you come within hearing rangeâ and why would Amity Parkers leave with how cheap and affordable living costs were since the government just started to ignore them, not to even mention the job opportunities and the zero human crime rate in the city because of THIER hero.
Finally, Danny MAY have forgotten about how much Amity Park half flickers into and out of the Ghost Zone. A place OUTSIDE OF TIME. Of course these flickers made life a pain but some side effects had to occur after Pariah Dark and flickering wasnât the worst outcome, just an annoying one.
When Amity does flicker, the people currently in Amity canât leave the boundaries of the city even if they can see Elmerton right there, and the people in Elmerton might be able to vaguely see Amity Park and her people but not actually interact with anything even when they manage to overcome the feeling of âyou shouldnât be hereâ that the flicker gives off, creating a holographic city of sorts.
So yes he may have forgotten a few things that would have solved so many situations for him and spared him some grief but itâs fine.
More then fine actually.
And he was notified of that fact when Jazz, Dani, Tucker, Sam, and Valerie bulldozed into his apartment decked out in Futuristic Fenton Ghost Trapping Gear, two hours before the Gotham Vigilantes were supposed to show up.
âWHAT THE FUCK!!!â Danny, who had been in the middle of a brain killing marathon of Pokemon, swore and fell off the coach. He managed to avoid knocking Aster and Teynny on his way down and luckily had already put Vela to bed but with the shout both kids were up and alert and Danny could hear the mumbled awakening of his baby a room over.
âDANNY!!!!â With that as their battle cry, Danny was tackle hugged onto the ground after he had just managed to stand up.
They found him since Tucker monitored/monitors the internet religiously and his social media account was practically the equivalent to âwalking up to my door while wearing a sign with an eye-bleeding neon colour that says IâM THE GHOST YOUâRE LOOKING FOR!â
Now, Danny had questions.
Aster and Teynny wanted snacks.
Vela wanted to be held.
Luckily, they had answers, treats and everyone wanted a chance to hold Vela.
Turns out ectoplasm exposure slows aging to an insane degree. They only look 2 years older then they did when Danny last saw them which means Dani looks exactly like Dannyâs twin.
Jazz even confirmed that mentally theyâre only about 2 years older as well. Which is similar to how the Neverborn in the ghost zone mature.
The lack of aging was also aided by the constant flickering into the Ghost Zone where time is optional at best and none existent at worst, which means that for them itâs been 40 years rather then 200. Not really surprising with how adaptable Amity Parkers are, everyone in Amity just kind of accepted that they are the equivalent to Elves and carried on so practically no fuss was made about it. The people who didnât like it simply left after the discovery (approximately 10 years after Danny disappeared) and, in turn, lived relatively long lives but not out of the realm of possibility for a normal human.
The Fentons stepped up to be the main Ghost Control protectors and the only reason they arenât present is due to the need to watch over the city.
Therefore, Amity Park was relatively the same in terms of people and most importantly, his kids get to have excitable grandparents and a TON of cool aunties and uncles which they seem to be very content with.
Dani in particular has claimed godmom position and threatened to bite off the hands of anyone who tries to take it from her.
Sheâs very serious. She will bite.
Unfortunately, although Dannyâs social media has brought a lot of benefits, like protecting his kids from attacks, notifying Amity Park that he is still around, and stopping Batman and others from kidnapping them, it has one important downside. Danny canât live in Amity without it drawing too much attention to the city and ghosts.
So just lots of moving around and a lot of weekly Amity visits via Ghost Zone express.
He can and will do that.
Everyone had settled amongst the various chairs in the living room near the end of discussions. Danny with Vela curled into his chest while squished between Dani and Jazz on the couch. Tucker. Sam and Valerie on the foot rest, armchair and kitchen stool respectively all pulled close enough that they could rest their feet on Dannyâs lap if they so chose. Finally, Aster and Teynny switching between laps pretty much every five minutes.
All of them had been crying for the past 2 hours and it shows in red eyes, tear tracks down their faces, and red noses. It was a relief to confirm that their relationships havenât changed in any way that matters.
Theyâd only just moved on to lighter topics when Danny heard the tell tail sign of feet on his fire escape.
Red Hood and Red Robin were here.
Danny had no time to warn anyone.
âââââââ
âWe brought dinner!â Red Robin called as he flipped in through the window. Red Hood following not even a second later.
âAnd new colouring boâŚ.â Red Hood trailed off as he took in the room. Four people decked out in what could only be considered sci-fi level tech and another that is obviously Dannyâs sister, if not twin, all in fighting stances. All three sci-fi females had every inch of skin covered in a nano tech metal and two matching wrist blasters with the only difference being the colour of the metal (red, green, and black) and the F logo on the shoulders of the green and black nano tech. The sci-fi dude stood behind the three females but instead of weapons various circuits of glowing green led to arm and hand held devices that looked even more futuristic and fantasy then anything else in the room.
Jason didnât need to look over to tell that Tim was probably drooling at a chance to get his hands on some (if not all) of it.
Finally, Dannyâs sister stood in front of everyone else holding Dual Dao swords that look like they came straight out of Avatar. The swords were also glowing due to the GREEN FIRE covering them. They looked as if they were made via nano tech as well.
Everything and everyone was painstakingly still.
Then Dannyâs sister laughed and dropped her swords. The others followed by dropping their arms and deactivating wrist blasters and the weird tech. They also were laughing.
Danny, who had been shoved to the back with his kids groaned. Pressing his face into hands, âplease donât do this.â
All five of them continued to laugh and turned their backs to him, therefore facing him and Tim once again, âNope,â they stated in unison. Danny buried his face deeper into his hands and sighed with pure resignation.
Dannyâs sister stepped forward with a smile that was much too sharp to be fully human. Jason and Tim flinched, âbuckle up bird men. Youâre getting the shovel talk.â
Amity park is an elf city, but itâs because of ghosts and undeath and all that. Amity Parkers arenât just elves, theyâre dark elves.
Bruce and the JL are having an aneurism, because now they have to deal with another secret city of elf people, and they seem to have some connection to the lazarus waters.
Wonder Woman and Aquaman are delighted to meet another secret kingdom with a new species of people. Even more so to meet their king and royal family.
Also, someone in Amity decided that Elf stand for Ectoliminal Life Formes. That along with their ectocontamination making their ears just a little pointer and teeth just a little sharperâŚ.well, the Amity Parkers found it hilarious and decided to commit to the bit. Now theyâre trying to see how many people they can convince that they were the inspiration for all elves in history and media like how Atlanteans were the inspiration for mermaids. And theyâve been doing this for hundreds of years. (Also, it might be a thing in Amity to be insulted if they are âinsultedâ for being called one of Santaâs Elves. In honor of Danny not liking Christmas. Or even better. They have factions of those that support Santa clause and those that donât so Santaâs elves are the pro Santa faction. And the Fentons get the whole town into it every year.)
Constantine already knows of the Elves. They are known for being mysterious and having all forms of knowledge and magic (due to access to the ghost zone). Heâs been trying to make a deal with one for years but has never made it into the city.
You can't not convince me that Amity "city of Commit to the Bit Gremlins" Park won't also Commit to the Bit.
They would have elven names too! Maybe it's LotR inspired. Warcraft! Witcher! Or actual Norse-inspired names, which can't be hard due to Infinite Realms and dead ppl and whatnot.
So legal identities of Sam and Tucker while OUTSIDE Amity can be Sylvanas and Turgon. (Sue me, those two are the first names I can think of). Jazz, Dani and Val can be Luthien, Elurin, and Varda or something đđ (I unapologetically love Tolkien ok)
What's to say that they would also be gaslighting everyone that the modern iteration of elves also came from them?
Danny: oh itâs short for Danalakshmi DrĂĄpastĂşfr
Anyone: âŚ..
Danny: Yeah, just call me Danny.
(Fun fact, Danalakshmi is an elven name I found on the web that looks like Dhana lakshmi which is a Hindu goddess known as the avatar of the divine mother and is the goddess of prosperity, abundance and unlimited potential. And DrĂĄpastĂşfr is a Norse name meaning bad poet which I translate into pad puns. So Danny is basically saying his name means either he is the mother of all bad puns or that he has unlimited potential for bad puns.)
tell me why this budgetless gay youtube series made for fun by a group of friends has the best editing and writing of anything iâve watched in a year.
also tell me how this single scene can contain every single one of the top three most iconic lines in history.
The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo is HANDES DOWNES the best series of anything to have been made by anyone ever. Youâll laugh youâll cry youâll quote it forever and be silently disappointed that a person you thought would know it doesnât know it & then you wonât know how to accurately convey HOW MUCH it means to you without sounding like youâre overselling something well anywayÂ
Danny sees a blond, middle aged man sitting on the curb, letting nasty puddle water spray him from passing cars as he drinks from a straightup liquor bottle.
Danny feels bad for the guy, but also he's creeping the student population out and that's the main sidewalk pretty much everyone uses.
So he walks up to him, gives him a tentative shoulder pat, and says "Sir, I'm sorry, but you're freaking everyone out, can you go brood on the other side of the street? There's some overhangs there!"
The man drops the bottle, staring at his own hands. Then he redirects his wide-eyed stare to Danny's hands. Then Danny's face.
"Kid what in the bloody fuck did you just do?"
The man reaches for Danny, Danny leans away in alarm, and Dash punches the guy so hard he's knocked out.
"Didn't your parents ever teach you stranger danger, Fenturd?"
"Come on, man, don't ask that; you know they didn't." Kwan says, jogging up and forcibly steering Danny away from the man and gently shoving him at Sam and Tucker.
They don't like Danny, but Amity Parkers protect Amity Parkers from creepy out-of-towners.
Or; John Constantine is having a pity party after getting so drunk he teleported into a weirdly big city in bumfuck nowhere Illinois, gets touched by some kid who broke his soul contracts and all his curses with a single shoulder pat, and gets knocked out by a football player.
Now with the contracts that granted him his powers as a warlock fucking canceled, he's gotta find that kid and also a new patron before his enemies realize he's up shit creek.
Phantom after getting flagged down at the nasty burger maybe half an hour later: "So you're asking me to be your patron because some kid just removed your powers?"
Constantine cringing at the simplification: "a little more complicated then that but yes, while I can still use my magic, the contracts I held were used to help me protect people as a part of my job".
Danny, getting a sinking feeling that he may have doomed people: "oh? Wow, what's your job?"
Constantine feeling all the demons and monsters he's tricked over the years becoming aware: "I work for Justice League Dark, we focus on magical situations that threaten the world. Anyway, are you interested in helping me? Otherwise I'm gonna need to bail before demons attack this town to get to me!"
Danny, definitely realising he messed up somehow even though he didn't do anything wrong this time and worried he's somehow gonna become Dan again: "uh, yeah that would be bad, out of curiosity... how do I patron you? I'm still kinda new to this and I mostly know some science not magic, other then dealing with the chaos of Desiree granting wishes" 'besides, magic's more Sam's wheelhouse'.
Constantine, definitely feeling a rumble in the ground as demons burrow up from hell and distressed at this powerhouse kid who doesn't even know what he's capable of: "you're bleed'n kidding me? Kid! you got more magic in your pinky toe then some of the demons that I've gone 'no-win scenario' against! (You literally annulled all the soul contracts and promises i was bound by, simply by touching my shoulder) he added to himself, Just focus your energy into your hand like a glove and think of making an agreement with me as your intention. Agree to be my patron and in exchange I can do something for you, like I can give you my soul if you wish-"
Danny, auto-reacting to stop him: "DONT SAY WISH!! Don't use that word in case she hears you. Alright, 'I will become your patron and safeguard your soul, I do not desire it though so you can keep it. instead in exchange, you will introduce me to the justice league and justice league dark. 'I could really use some advice or training man!'" He added nervously.
Constantine hunched over in shock as the green energy swarmed up his hand and settled around his body like a protective shield, slowly disappearing from view. the sensation filling him with comforting warmth unlike the hellfire he was used to and magical energy till his eyes glowed.
Danny nervous: "did it work?"
The parking lot behind them erupted as demons started to shoot out of the ground charging right at constantine to drag him to hell.
John waved a hand and a wave of green force came down and crushed them to pulp against the ground, plugging the holes and stopping any further attacks.
Apart from the car alarms going off the area was silent, no demonic forces attempted to rise again.
"I think that's a pretty good sign kid, damn, that was stronger then I expected! Sorry about the parking lot though, on the upside the soil can be used to grow demonic magical ingredients now, probably not a good thing for a town though..." (Sam mansons heavy breathing from behind a hedge holding a shovel and wheelbarrow)
He was deep in though before adding "you interested in visiting the watchtower this afternoon or do you have homework to do?"
Danny's eyes shone like a galaxy of stars themselves were in there "I would love too! Let me just- wait... how did you know I have homework?"
Constantine just grinned smugly "took me a minute but you're not really wearing a mask kid, I don't know what's up with your town but a magical girl colour change doesn't exactly throw off most villains" 'cept for clark' he added silently.
Danny snorted "most of my rogues knew about me before I knew about them, the only people who don't see through it are the humans that hunt me, they can't associate me with being both a ghost and human"
Constantine frowned, "humans hunting you? Who? And why?"
Danny was focusing on a thin immaterial line he could now see coming out of his core pointing directly to constantine as he answered "ghost hunters, usually my parents or the government nutjobs, ...sometimes my ex" he added before noticing something approach behind constantine.
"Uh... speaking of which, since your drawing power from me, that might mean you show up on ghost hunters radars. You might want to run, SEE YOU LATER!"
Phantom tore off into the sky and out of sight from John as he turned around to see a bunch of white vans, rapidly driven by guys in white suits pointing big silver weapons out the doors at him. There was a rumble and what looked like an armoured personnel carrier with tank treads somehow ramp-jumped over the nasty burger to land ahead of the vans almost hitting him.
A big man in a orange hazmat suit burst out of the vehicle carrying a bazooker and a small computer which was rapidly beeping. Both pointed at John "FREEZE ECTO-SCUM! Prepare to be torn apart molecule by molecule!" "JACK, check your target!" Came a woman's voice from behind the big man, a woman in a blue hazmat suit wearing the hood and goggles appeared carrying a just as terrifying weapon pointed at him.
John blinked, made the most of his time by lighting a cigarette and examined the situation 'Jeezus', trading demons for ghost hunters, he just could not catch a break could he?
The men in white suits arrived fanning out to surround him and pointing their guns at John "by the authority granted to us under the anti-ecto act, you ecto being, are now property of the US government, get on the ground and wait for containment"
John glared at them "ex-fucking scuse me? That is the biggest load of horseshite and bollocks I've heard all week and I've heared both a pestilence demon and a succubus promise to behave in a brothel. There is no act that would allow you to do that, I would know because you're all currently pointing your guns at a member of the Justice League Dark division, now lower those most definitely illegal weapons before either I have the ATF down here checking permits or I have you all shoved into the Hague for violations of any number of conventions including the meta rights act". John finished by pulling out his warrant card for the Justice League and holding it open to see.
The agents glanced at the card not convinced, it was pretty obvious these guys hadn't gotten their job for their brains, being told no was something foreign to them. "Its a fake, the league doesn't care what we do or they would have said something by now" one of them muttered making the rest form up guns level again.
Maddie fenton if his memory was correct frowned behind her goggles at the man. "I recognise him, he's the man at the ghost Hunter conventions constantly making fun of hunters and ecto-science. I've heard he deals with demons, jack! We can't trust him!"
"Or..." constantine continued, knowing these people wouldn't be leaving him alone. He used the heat from his cigarette to quick-start forming a fireball in his other hand as he put the card away "we can just get straight down to business and see who's got the stronger authority?"
-
The guys in white fired first, specifically the ones at the back behind constantine hoping to take him down without a fight. Fortunately their weapons were not silent and their projectiles were much slower then normal bullets and curses. John ducked and spun around blowing on the fireball spraying it out like a flame thrower, the flames rose high enough to make a wall blocking him from their sight as they began blindly firing into the wall of flame. Diving to the ground he dug into his pockets for items, finally fumbling for a piece of chalk, 'it'll do' he though quickly drawing a circle around him and concentrating. Hit by friendly fire, most of the agents were down groaning from plasma burns.
The wall of fire slowly settled down revealing constantine sitting cross-legged on the ground in a chalk circle.
The doctors fenton approached weapons drawn and not taking chances. "We're not that stupid ghost scum, you're on our scanners which means you're ghost like" Constantine smiled at them "you know, they're not really ghost hunting weapons if they harm people are they? Just a friendly note in my file for the ATF" John turned to wink at the three kids looking through the hedge, danny in human form another boy recording everything and a girl with gardening tools staring hungrily at the destroyed parking lot. "See you later kids!" John triggered his spell and was teleported to the watchtower barely being grazed by the fentons parting shots at him.
Now he had to do the tiresome thing of organising a league meeting and a Dark meeting, there was no way he was gonna jeopardise that kids contract, especially not with all he'd just found out...
Damn he needed another cigarette.
And why was there a glowing green ghost dog sniffing his shoes?...
(He still has his regenerative abilities, possibly stronger then the demons gave him, -hangovers dont last as long for starters)
Then just as quickly pokes his head back out "oh! And among other things, I may or may not be fostering some kids in the near future who are more then likely natural magic adepts. I think you'll love em, but... We'll see".
He heads off again then spins back out before she even looked away "also were having a few urgent meetings tonight, normal league and Dark, can you do me a favour and call everyone including Boston? I need to talk the Bats real urgently"
"Not urgent enough to skip drinking?" She replied dryly
"Zee, with what I just found out and experienced I'm gonna need something to cushion the nerves 'hitchhikers guide' style if I have any hope of not passing out while talking to B".
He hurried away before zatanna could stop and question him.
I wonder if John might have made a tiny bit of a mistake alerting the hunters to the kids' presence. Even with Danny in human form, I'm not sure that's gonna go well. Especially if Danny's new patronage bond might do something like create a permanently open tap to his ghostly side for John to draw power from. That seems like something that might set off a few sensors.
The thing about magic is that it works mostly off of the casters intent.
Unlike the previous demons John has scammed in the past, John couldnât help but want an honest deal with the magical kid.
John might not be a good person, but he has a soft spot for kids.
Danny saw John, someone asking for his help, and wanted to protect him. So he went into the soul bond wanting to provide what John needed. But when John said he knew the Justice League, Danny realized that John could be something else for Danny. Someone to protect him, to take care of him.
Because they both went in with mutual protection in mind, their bond unified them less like a traditional patron bond, and more like a family.
John had basically magically adopted a god by accident.
There were a few things that neither one of them realized about the bond at first. Most notably, it affected Danny too.
As the Guys in White turned towards the teens watching Constantine, Danny and his friends panicked. Danny felt an immediate need to get away and go somewhere safe.
From the corner of his eye, Danny saw a door appear. Just a door in the middle of a parking lot. Danny considered ignoring it and just running, but well⌠the door was right there.
Danny fled through the door, dragging his friends with him. He slammed it behind him, barely cutting off a blast from an ecto-gun before it hit them.
Danny took a moment to catch his breath before taking a look at his surroundings.
It looked like this place was once rather nice, but had fallen into disrepair. The place stunk of cigarettes and cheap booze. The wooden chairs had elegant carvings of magical creatures, but were covered in layers of dust and grime. A dim glow came from the candles lining the walls, illuminating mysterious stains of various colors.
Despite the appearance, the place felt welcoming. Danny tried to put a finger on it⌠relaxing, like a hug from his sister after a long day.
It felt like home.
âââââ
Even though he absolutely meant to stay the night at the justice league headquarters, John had left something at home. He had found a book on the infinite realms, a land that connects the dead of all realities. Constantine thought it sounded like a load of bullocks, but information could always be useful.
Constantine had gotten into the habit of researching before bed. Nothing like a dry ancient tome written in a dead language to put one to sleep.
So he summoned the door back to his house, the house of mysteries.
Stepping through the door, he felt the normal welcoming presence of his house. It felt stronger, but his magic had gotten stronger too. There was that, and there was also something else.
Footsteps⌠there was someone else in his house.
Constantine snuck out of his room. His house should have been warded against most intruders. No one but him should be able to get inside of his walls. The magic wasnât perfect, heâd fought plenty of things that had made their way inside his home.
So he crept around the corner, ready to fight whatever imp or demon had snuck in-
Only to find the teenager he became the patron of earlier today.
Justice League meeting on the watchtower, totally boring, nothing interesting on the docket-
Until a portal opens up and a white haired teen sticks his head through, and all the heroes are suddenly on alert as the kid looks around. His eyes catch on Batman and he grins, pointing directly at him.
âMan dressed as a bat!â
Batman: ???
White haired teen reaches back into the portal and brings another, slightly smaller teenager with black hair through, holding him up by the armpits. âIs this your dimension?â
The black haired teenager - is that Robinâs symbol on his chest? looks around, then tuts. âNo. My Wonderwoman is taller, and my Aquaman has a beard. Also, this place seems more⌠color saturated.â
The white haired teen huffs. âAw, man. I got excited. Well, at least weâre getting closer! Come on, Robin!â
Snapping out of his shock, Superman twitches forward. âHey, wait-!â
Both teenagers vanish in a flash of light before any of them can stop them.

There needs to be more weird Kryptonian biology added to fics. I want to see the most absurd behaviour from Clark.
Just think about the possibilities.
He could eat rocks, simply because he enjoys the texture. Most rocks donât have a taste to him, but he particularly likes the crunch of harder things, like diamonds or basalt.
He could create warm nooks around the fortress/manor/his apartment for comfort when heâs scared, or much like a bird, when heâs stressed. Bonus points for dragging any child within grasp into it for security, whether it be his child, a robin, or even Krypto when nobodyâs around.
He could follow obscure mating rituals that even heâs unaware of without the assistance of Jor-El. He doesnât understand why he feels the need to be bright and flashy in Bruceâs presence, but he knows that if his cape isnât as brilliant as possible, he stands no chance to win the batâs heart.
I guess, what Iâm trying to say, is that kryptonians in my heart should behave like freaky birds.
And once bruce studies the fuck out of it, heâs enough of a freak that he really likes it.
Okay, so hear me out. There are species of animals that reject their offspring if they donât âsmellâ right. Like something about the pheromones are off and thus the vibes are bad. You canât be mine, you smell funny. Similarly, we know that hormones and neurochemical reactions play a large part in bonding between human babies and parents. Our brains are swimming in chemicals that have us looking at our squishy, decidedly odd-looking newborns and saying âitâs so cute, I wanna bite it.â
My dudes (gender neutral). My people. My fellow nerds. Superman initially rejecting his clone because he doesnât smell right. The kid was in a soup of artificial, clone-making chemicals and he doesnât smell like he should. But what the fuck is he supposed to smell like? Superman having no frame of reference for this crazy feeling, for this intense dislike of a person with his face, and struggling internally with it because he knows logically that this deep revulsion doesnât make sense. Problem is, he physically canât help it. Something about this kid makes his teeth itch and his fingers twitch.
Then the kid takes a shower and changes his clothes and oh. Why would I push him away? Thatâs my baby. Hate him? How could I hate my baby? My baby. My sweet, perfect, amazing angel baby. My baby. My baby. My baby. Mybabymybabymybabymybaby.
And itâs probably hilarious from the outside looking in, because Superman looked ready to light the kid on fire a minute ago and now heâs all gooey-eyed. No thoughts, just sappy smiles and burying his nose in the cloneâs hair. Heâs ready to pluck the moon from the sky and hang it on a string for his kid. Itâs sweet and adorable.
Itâs also completely, utterly terrifying. Seeing how quickly one of the strongest beings in the known universe fell victim to his own biology, how wildly the pendulum swung from one extreme to the other. Batmanâs immediately planning a trip to the Fortress to gather intel on this reaction. How long does it last? Is it normal? Is it supposed to be like this? Does it have anything to do with the clone being a teenager and not a newborn? Would it be worse with a newborn? Does the League, does he need contingency plans for this?
And SupermanâClark recognizes the sudden shift, but canât do a thing about it. He should be scared of how every concern in his mind gets swept away by this out-of-control hormonal response, but he doesnât want to do a thing about it. He canât help the smile plastered on his face when Konâwhat a perfect name, a beautiful name for my baby, mybabymybabyMYbabymyBABYMYBABYMYBABYMYBABYâsighs contently in his sleep or scrunches his nose in disgust at new foods, new sensations.
Something in Clarkâs eyes says âI donât know whatâs happening, help me,â but it quickly gets snuffed out by âI will flip this entire universe over if a single hair on my babyâs head is out of place.â And honestly? Yeah, itâs scary, but every parent he knowsâBruce includedâtotally gets it.
Oh this actually makes a bit more sense of the situation. Also consider this. Connor was made in a lab that Lex Luthor would have frequently visited. There may be residual scent from that. Not enough he continuously identifies it but enough he subconsciously notes as a threat.
This happens with rabbits all the time and is why a owner will not handle new born bunnies for several days or weeks after they born so that mother rabbits have fully claimed the new born and wonât reject them for having an human smell on them.
My idea starts with the classic question, "How does Martha Kent cut young Clark's hair?"
She doesn't. Technically, Kryptonians don't have "hair". They have whiskers (alien's soft and shiny whiskers.)
Kryptonian hair is a type of whisker, a sensory organ that can "grow" or "retract." Shorter hairs are thicker. Females generally have a longer maximum hair length than males, but exceptions exist.
A Kryptonian can slightly modify the nature of their hair (making it more or less curly), but the color is fixed.
Because hair is a sensory organ, touching someone's hair is an intimate act between family members and lovers.
Under the effect of kryptonite, cutting a Kryptonian's hair is painful.
I think part 2 (?) of clark having weird Kryptonian biology similar to animals, but like when clark is comfortable and cozy, he starts making biscuits (yes like cats) the first time he and Bruce hooked up, he was so excited and comfortable he started making biscuits on the pillow where his hands were pinned beside Bruce's head whilest he was in between Bruce's legs, Bruce who was currently getting fucked stupid, just huffed softly.
It also happened when he was a baby, Martha brought out a small baby bottle with milk, and gave it to a bundled up 5 month old Clark, who latched on happily, Martha was delighted to see how well Clark was drinking until she almost died of cuteness aggression when clalr starts making air biscuits like a tiny kitten.
Everytime Bruce and clark sleep in together, Clark hand help but make biscuits on Bruce's pecs, Bruce doesn't mind, it actually helps him sleep along with the sound of clarks purrs.
Hey wouldn't it be tragic if Billy sacrificed himself and remained Captain Marvel forever bc his new kid Connor needs a stable loving role model and Billy can't bear to take it away from him.
Plus him having always battled with the thought that maybe he'd always be able to do more good as Cap but now he has living proof.
Jeez why did I forget to reblog this? Or did I? Idk itâs been a hot sec.
OKAY. So I am foaming at the mouth just thinking about this take because this is like, Billy before he had anything other than his powers. When he was first starting out as Cap he was still living on the streets, with little to no money. Just the clothes on him and the half of a heart-shaped necklace belonging to a sister he couldnât find. Not even with the Historama or Shazam. He doesnât know any Fawcett heroes. He doesnât know Dudley. He has no one.
Thatâs why he puts his all into being Cap. So much so that everyone is convinced that he isnât human. That he is literally just magic incarnate.
The magic users know better. They look at him with pity. With resignation. Because they know that nothing they say will matter.
And then everything with Kon happens. And Billy is PISSED at Superman for just pushing the kid aside. He sees so much of himself in Kon that it should be disturbing. Another boy left alone by someone who should be helping him.
So, he takes him in. Batman gives him a place to live, clothes to wear, a new identity, the works. Kon slowly warms up to him, and begins calling him âDadâ when no one else can hear, and some time later, even when others are around.
Billy Batson is forgotten. Because thereâs no way Billy Batson couldâve had this. Friends. A son. A home. A place to go to when things get hard. He becomes part of the group of Leaguers who have sidekicks. Now heâs in on the gossip and the cute photos and the first days of school.
Billy Batson never had a chance, so who cares about him? No one ever did, anyway.
Though, he does change back sometimes. He doesnât know why. He gets curious. Heâs still aging, though slower than normal. He thinks heâs fourteen now, but he looks eleven. Itâs odd. He hasnât eaten anything in his normal body in a long time, and yet, his body isnât too bad. Thin, definitely, but he canât see any rib indents.
Unfortunately, him not turning back to go out in public puts a dampener on the Batson twin reunion. There is no Whiz Kid, so another newscaster oversees the spelling bee Mary is in. Mary sees Cap on television and he just looks so familiarâŚ
But itâs nothing, isnât it. Sheâs just a weird girl, having dreams about a family that doesnât exist. All the proof she has is this half-of-a-heart-shaped necklace around her neck. And really, that could be for anything.
The years go by, and for some reason, he can never truly shake away who he really is. He still refers to himself as Billy sometimes. He thinks about the boy in the red hoodie who hasnât had food in years. He thinks of the sister who still may be out there. He thinks of the life he couldâve had if things had been different. But right now, he has other things to look forward to. He has a wonderful son. He has the League as his family. He has these amazing powers and the ability to help everyone.
The League thinks heâs perfect, and thatâs perfect. The League thinks heâs the model hero. The model father. Kon seems to think so too, with all the hugs heâs been getting. They smile at him and call him their friend. They gossip with him. They battle with him. They trust him. Would anyone trust Billy Batson in a fight? He didnât think so.
He ignores Shazamâs withering, guilty look every time he goes about the Rock. He pleads with him sometimes, to go out as Billy. Go see the world as the boy he really is. But Billy doesnât want to. Kon needs to be picked up from school and driven to his date. And then he needs dinner. And then theyâre going to watch a movie. And then tomorrow theyâre going with other hero and sidekick duos to a new training ground.
See, Shazam? You have nothing to worry about! Everythingâs better this way! Billy Batson wouldâve never had this.
(He still detransforms sometimes, when no one is around. Itâs slow going, but heâs starting to look a little pale. Huh.)
There used to be missing posters. Not from Ebenezer, but from social services. They went fewer and fewer until stopping. That was years ago. See? No ones looking for him. Itâs fine.
(Mom and dad never wouldâve wanted this, but theyâre too dead to care).
While I am dying to write a reveal, I have no idea how I want it to go. Iâll leave that up to the rest of you â¤ď¸

Ellie was de aged in order to stabilize her and has been living as Danny's daughter since than
It was hard taking care of a 2 year old child as a freshly 17 year old boy(he wasn't even eighteen yet, mind you)
But he'd make it work
It was hard, but he managed it while juggling between part time work, online school and taking care of young Ellie
One day, Ellie just barged into the house with a boy in a tow
The twelve year old girl pulled the boy along into the kitchen where Danny is making lunch for the two of them
The boy looked utterly confused
" Daddy, can we keep him!" She shouted loudly. That's not a request, it's a demand
Danny turned around with a calm expression but was shocked when he saw the boy
THAT'S AN INFANT!
Oh dear....
The boy looked physically 16 but he is not even half a year old yet
That's a literal baby....
Danny lowered the fire, washed his hand and wiped it before walking toward the boy
The boy just stood there, dumbfounded, as Danny cupped his face and turned it left and right
" where did you find him Ellie?"
Ellie hugged Danny's waist and buried her face into it
" was following a bunch of costumed children and then they kinda destroyed a whole laboratory and saved him and he's a clone! Like me! But his DNA donor doesn't want him, so I took him with me!" She told him proudly
Danny sighed fondly " Ellie, I've told you many times not to follow them, it's dangerous"
Danny turned to look at the confused boy who was standing there awkwardly with his face being cupped by Danny's hand
Danny let go of the boy " are you hungry? We're making casserole and beef stew if you want? We also have fudge"
Honestly... The superman's clone(he doesn't have a name yet) didn't know what to do, so he just nodded hesitantly
"great! Let's go eat fudge! Dad's fudge is the best in the world!" Ellie grabs his hand and dragged him into the dining room
And he has been living with them since that day
He means- he do can leave if he wants, he just choose not to
Why would he leave someone who actually loves him? That would be crazy of him since his DNA donor wants nothing to do with him and the other one is crazy megalomaniac
And oh! He also has a name now, it's Conner
Conner Nightingale
And he loves it
Meanwhile the others when superman's clone suddenly disappear:
WHERE DID HE GO!?!?!
Ellie who just picked him up and used flight and invisibility: yay I've now acquired a baby brother, we'll be bestie forever. Let's cause an explosion
Conner : what?
----
The idea of Danny being able to tell someone's actual age is funny to me cuz lol it's just funny
And since superman didn't want Conner, Danny would gladly take him in
It's several months, almost a year, before the heroes finally locate Conner. Even then, it's by pure chance, as one of the Young Justice members happens to spot him while he was at the mall with Ellie and Danny. Their first instinct is to rush over and make sure he's ok, but when they see him smiling, relaxed and getting a playful noogie from the man, they hesitate. He seems HAPPY, but how the hell did he end up with these civilians? WERE they civilians?
Deciding that it was best to do some digging first, they alerted their teammates and started following the "family".
Except Danny noticed their tagalong. He warned his kids and suggested that they go home a bit early today, just until he can determine their tagalong's intentions and whom they're working with. The kids agree (Ellie cause she knows better than to not trust her Dad's instincts and Conner is still adjusting to having freedoms but he trusts Danny's judgement.)
So when the trio turn a corner into a crowd and away from cameras, Danny turns them invisible and leads his kids out to their car, only returning to visibility once they're in the underground garage and next to the car.
The YJ kid meanwhile turns the corner and is EXTREMELY confused and concerned when he doesn't see them anymore.
A search is done, but Danny's careful to keep his kids safe and away from the heroes until he can figure out what they wanted from his son.
And the thing is, Danny resemble superman by a lot, so conner genuinely could past of as his nephew or sibling or someone related to him
The JL told them(YJ) to watch over them and make sure they're not a threat
And time went by but all they see is the family of three behaving like an actual family
Going out together, having fun like an actual family, meet with close relatives or friend and hung out with them
They found out about superman's clone name, which is Conner Nightingale.
They watched as Conner had fun and are truly happy being with them
But then one day, the family of three including three additional people, that is, jasmine Nightingale, Tucker Foley and Samantha Manson, went on a trip somewhere they didn't know exist
It is quite far away from where their home is, it is an open space surrounded with trees and greeneries
They coild see It was a beautiful place through the camera lense
And than they witness it
Conner had snatched the container Danielle was holding and started levitating in the air and the young girl started screaming at him
She chased him
Not by running after him
....But by flying after him...
The girl could fly....
She could fly just like conner
And then Conner snatched Daniel's container, which earned an offended gasp from him
Then he flew after Conner too
The other watched it in delight and laughed at them as if it was a very normal thing that Daniel and his daughter could fly
And what conspiracies theory do you think, they came up with?
