I am the clown

Another DPxDC idea I have cooking up. Dead Tired idea btw.

Tim, while snooping in his parents artifacts from their recent archeology trip, finds a rather strange and small hidden hourglass, curiosity and knowing his parents haven't noticed it he takes it.

He turns it in his hands when he knows his parents are out at a Gala for the night and fiddles with it. He twists it three times and it suddenly glows.

Tim is then hit with a small vision of a future, one where he see's himself following Batman, and the newest member of the growing Bat Team Robin, on the rooftops with a camera he's had his eye on for a while.

Tim is suddenly back in his room just as quickly and is in shock, he looks at the small hourglass for a moment and questions what the heck was that about? Was what he saw... real?

Turns out it is when his parents are leaving for a new dig sight and gave him that very new camera as a apology gift for going to be missing his upcoming birthday.

He fiddles with the tiny hourglass afterwords, tries to figure it out but it doesn't shine for him or show him the future again...Or at least until the second Robin dies and Tim is hit by a vision of him trying to ask Dick, the first Robin, to return to a escalating violent Batman and stop him from going pass his own 'no kill' rule.

After that it randomly works, helped him find out about Kon aka Superboy, create Young Justice, collect his ride or die friends/teammates, survive some of Damian's more deadly murder attempts in the beginning, etc etc. It was also the reason why he knew for damn sure Bruce was alive and just lost in the time stream. (The hourglass actually seemed to had hummed like a buzzing muted cellphone when it showed him that future) All in all it seems to show important/sometimes dangerous situations only.

Tim keeps this hourglass a secret btw, he knows he should maybe mention it at some point and maybe get it checked out by JLD to make sure its not gonna like kill him later or it steals his life force for each future sight or something along those lines, but it hasn't steered him wrong so far, its been very helpful! (granted he wished it showed him Jason coming back to life, that would had help clear up a lot of bullshit or something like that)

Anyways, so yeah Tim keeps it a huge secret but he does carry it on himself just in case.

So he isn't too surprised when it actives when a new member is joining JL. He is however surprised when he see's himself and the new guy (or rather the new guy in inverted colors) in domestic bliss, like full on husbands and happy with a glowing green dog. Tim is pulled out of the vision and blinks, trying his hardest not to blush when the new guy Phantom zero's on him.

"Hello, Starling. Want to come over here and relax with us?" They grin at you. I also just realized i have hit 3k followers THATSSS CRAZYYYY!!!! thank you guys for all the support!!! Have this as a thank you SKJGHKSJHSG LOVE U GUYSSS Close ups under here!!!:

Danny gets invited to join the Justice League. He’s a bit skeptical because it’s he’s pretty new to this universe and hasn’t had the chance to scope out the heroes yet. Eventually, they settle on letting him meet the team and join in on a couple meetings to get an idea of their morals and values. However, as soon as he arrives at the Watchtower, he zeros in on their resident demigod.

Danny: Soooo… does this universe not have child labor laws?

Batman: Excuse me?

Wonder Woman: I can assure you that we do not permit children on our team.

Danny: I am looking at a child right now. That, right there, is a child.

Captain Marvel: Uh you must be mistaken, Mr. Phantom, Danny, Sir. I am very much an adult.

Danny: …That kid hasn’t even hit puberty yet.

Flash: What? No we’ve have records of Captain Marvel going back centuries.

Captain Marvel: Exactly!

Batman: *Staring suspiciously* Hmmm

Danny: *Squints his eyes* No his magic is ancient, but he’s practically a toddler

Captain Marvel: A toddler?! I’m 10 and a half!

The rest of the League: …

Captain Marvel: I uh… I mean i’ve been around for hundreds of years

Batman: Marvel.

Danny tries flirting with Tim in public when Jason is nearby, when Jason does the Brotherly thing and gets offended at the concept of anyone hitting on his baby brother. Tim eventually gets flustered and leaves, and then Jason walks up and puts a hand on Danny's shoulder.

"Look at my baby brother again, and I will shove a fucking gun down your throat."

Danny looks Jason up and down, and grins.

"Don't threaten me with a good time, prettyboy."

Neither Jason or Tim(because he was obviously still listening somehow, it's Tim) know what to do with this development.

Oooooh, how will Danny choose?...

...

Daniel Nightingale

26yo

Trans Male

Owner of Nightingale technologies.

The Waynes, the Bat Family, weren't normal about each other. They were vicious, controlling, obsessive, and as cruel as they were caring with each other at times.

Jason Todd-Wayne did not like Tim Drake. The smear campaign against his childhood self that he had undergone to "fix" Bruce's self destructive spiral after his death wasn't forgiven.

But that didn't make him not family...

Not his problem...

Nightingale was chatting with Tim about something or another. Tim had his business face going, clearly oblivious to the man's flirting.

Finally, Tim excuses himself, and Jason follows Nightingale to the bar. The man flashes a charming grin. "Mr. Todd-Wayne, it's an honor."

Jason flashes what's supposed to be a threatening smile leaning in as he hands Nightingale his Craft Beer. "Stay away from my brother or you'll be choking on my favorite gun."

Nightingale's eyes light up with irritating excitement closing what little space is left between them, breath unnaturally cold againsthis ear. "Don't threaten me with a good time Red."

Jason blinks and the man is gone, disappeared into the shifting crowds like a ghost. Something deep in his gut twists and settles.

Some fics with de-ageing involving least one Danny Phantom character.

Nothing But The Dead And Dying (back in my little town) (AO3) - "Dan has just been rescued and is feeling a bit shorter than usual. Jason Todd has just been petitioned like he's a feudal warlord, which has never happened before but he could maybe get used to. They can probably make this work so long as Batman doesn't stick his nose in. Yeah, like that'll happen."

Dad Shaped (AO3) - "After accidentally getting de-aged by the GIW, Danny and Dani find themselves in Gotham and latch onto the nearest undead person they can find to avoid drawing attention to themselves. Jason, said nearest undead person, makes the mistake of feeding them and now they won't go away."

Raising Phantom AU (AO3) - "Jasmine started working at Gotham's Public Library, while having to take care of her baby brother and going to college. Danny is frustrated at having to be in hiding as well as everything else poor in his life. Also there is something off about the man that comes in to check books out. His family included. Batfamily playing a game to figure out these two's life only for things to get serious quickly."

The Son of the Red Hood (AO3) - "Clockwork intervenes in Danny's life so that he can learn all he needs to be king of the Infinite Realms, and hopefully this time he can actually be loved and cared for the way he deserves."

Imprint (AO3) - "He screwed his eyes shut, held his breath, desperately wished that he was back in his safehouse, alone and blissfully unaware. But the weight in his hands remained, and when he opened his eyes, it was to the bean-shaped 'fuck you' the Lazarus Pit had kindly bestowed upon him, arms and legs folded up against his front beneath off-white muslin while tiny lips smacked softly."

Jack had to come in and pull him off. I woke up before it could progress more than the Guardians suddenly seeing Double Jack Frosts, one of whom was threatening to turn Bunny into his next meal and going into unsettling detail of how he’d prep and season him.
