Mainly DC x DP

Danny has been living in Gotham for a couple of months. Vlad has been going through his redemption arc after Danny's family death over a year ago placed Danny in his care. There were a lot of mix feelings at those first months, and the redemption process has been bumpy at best, but living with Vlad isn't anywhere nearly as bad as it was.

Danny will forever miss his family, but he's glad for the change it has brought Vlad, because he really was missing on having a Halfa adult looking after him. Even thought he'll never refer to Vlad in any parental term on principle alone. No, it'll take centuries before that particular trauma blows away.

Jason, angry and defensive: yeah i died and coroner left me some new scars for when i came back

Danny: at least you weren’t awake for yours

Jason: what??

Danny lifts his own shirt to show matching scars.

Jason, horrified: you weren’t even dead, why the—

Danny: well, no i was dead, technically, just also awake

Danny has gotten very good at getting into and exploring the internet. Not only from having to follow Technus through it, but also because it was fun!

So it shouldn't have been a surprise that when the time came when he had to escape Amity Park for good, he did it through the web. He had never gone outside the city's servers before, so he did get a bit lost, but soon he was exploring all around the world.

He knew he had to get out of the web eventually, but the persecution had left him a little traumatized. It was safe in there, and he was healing well, or at least his pixelated body seemed okay. And okay, maybe online food was a little tasteless and numbed his tongue, but it was keeping him fed, so who cared.

"Hey, Rob!"

Tim lifts his head, and Bart gestures to him. He sets down his dumbells and starts across the room.

"Do you know what Protocol 23 is?"

"Protcol 23: Justice League members may not take off at super speed, flight, or jumps within proximity to other members of their team. Exemptions are allowed for Kryptonians, Amazons, and other team members on a case-by-case basis, but doing so will result in investigation for mal intent, and suspension—"

Cassie holds up a hand. "Why do you know it word for— that's not the point. We're not talking about that. Look at this."

She gestures him to the monitors, and he leans over Bart's shoulder to look, the others filling in around them.

Bart clicks play, and Tim grins. "Ooo, baby Batman. That's one of his first suits."

"Yeah, but look at the file name." Cissie reaches past him, rapping her nail on the screen, and he hums. "Protocol 23."

Bruce fights back-to-back with Clark on screen, and Tim leans on the chair Bart is tucked into, arms crossed. "You interrupted my workout to watch B fight? You know I can do that every night if I wanted to, right?"

"Shut up." Kon shoves his shoulder, and they share a childish grin.

There's a sonic boom over the sounds of fighting, quickly followed by a familiar grunt. Clark can be seen in the background, holding off a swarm, while Bruce wavers and drops to his knees.

Blood seeps past the edges of his cowl, and Tim clenches his fingers so hard the leather upholstery creaks under his grip, watching B fall further, onto his elbows, head bowed. The footage is blocked as Diana comes into view, rushing to Bruce's side, and the scene swaps.

"Where did you find this?" he growls, watching Barry do the same to him. Clark, again. Barry again.

"I was bored," Kon explains, looking at him worriedly. "We were...we ended up pretty deep into the Watchtower's database." He leans over Bart, taking the mouse, and clicks out.

To rows and rows of files for JL protocols.

23 is the first. Which makes sense, one through twenty-two are regarding JL processes, then— Protocol 23 is where they start looking at preventing injury.

Kon clicks on 24.

All enhanced Justice League members must undergo training on handling extraction to prevent further injury to casualties.

Tim's vision goes red as he watches Bruce bite back a scream as Arthur lifts him too brashly, and his arm visibly dislocates. That shoulder still gives him trouble to this day.

The Bat kids unsure what to think about random JL member being so protective of them about friendly fire because they also have no context about how bad it could have been.

JL member after giving newbie a hard long lecture, and checking bat kid up and down over and over and asking about a million questions that couldn't be answered because there wasn't space between.

Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3 || Part 4 || Read on Ao3: Here

The move went... more or less. It Went. But nobody died, nothing was broken and I did get to sleep properly these past few months. But between the writer's curse hitting me, getting distracted (again) by getting into Wuthering Waves. (May or may not be uploading fics for it) Also found the Scum Villain series at the local manga store that popped up while I was away from home. Was pricy, but totally worth it<3

Also I want you guys to know this was painful for me to write. Y'all had better appreciate what I sacrificed to make myself write this.

Danny is exactly as the others described, Barbara thinks. Sure she's seen a few pictures the others snapped of him- well, the oddly blurred around the edges photos. Tim's frustrated griping about the pins and strings of his crazy wall, trying to guesstimate what powers Danny actually had, had several new ones added after learning that. Griping she couldn't help but agree with, considering she'd found absolutely nothing on this kid either. The usual suspect lists on the black market made several mentions of kids who couldn't be photographed, but none seemed to match Danny. It would be easier if they knew more about his powers than Duke's shrugging and claiming he 'kinda glows' and some slightly enhanced skills. The closest thing they had to something concrete- his near-death like sleeping habits- could be just about anything.

What I’d give for one of the Cinderella remakes to go into how when you’re in an isolated and abusive situation, sometimes you need to be saved and you’re not weak if you can’t escape by yourself

Cinderella lives as an indentured servant in her own house from a young age. It isn't a stretch to say she was probably threatened with being thrown out of her home multiple times growing up. She was terrified of her stepmother, and her stepsisters were allowed to treat her like shit. Yet, she still had the strength to advocate for her right to go to the ball, even after Lady Tremaine had already told her she wasn't allowed. And when she was finally given the opportunity to leave that life behind, she fought for it with her friends' help and took it. Through it all, she remained kind. She was really strong!

Danny: I beg your pardon?

Tim: I know you feed on emotions. You're an ecto-being, known as Phantom, and you're hiding in Gotham from the government. Your real name is Daniel Fenton.

Danny defeated: Who are you working for? How did they find me?

Tim: Don't worry about that. I'm the only one who knows. Listen, I need your emotional eating abilities. Robin died a few weeks ago, and Batman is losing it. Could you eat his sorrow? Help cut through his fog of grief?

Danny: I- ugh I never tried that?

Tim: Well, now is a good chance to try. Pack your bags, you're moving into Drake Manor as my uncle, and we're going to save Batman.

Danny: Okay?

Tim: You seemed confused. Do I need to explain the plan again?

Danny: I'm not confused. I didn't expect this when I opened the door to a seven-year-old.

Tim: I'm thirteen.

Danny: I'm so sorry. Are you not being feed?

Tim: Everyone blooms at their own time!

Danny: Sure, buddy.

Tim: You-! You will actually do really well at posing as an annoying uncle. You're on thin ice, though. So watch it.

Danny: I'll take that threat more seriously when you can reach my chin.

Danny has gotten very good at getting into and exploring the internet. Not only from having to follow Technus through it, but also because it was fun!

Danny is trying to lay low in the DCU. Then he gets kidnapped for his own summoning, along with a bunch of other people, and volunteers himself as a sacrifice to avoid anyone actually dying. His bad luck means the summoning was legit. He doesn’t really transform, but his eyes glow bright green, his hair has white glowing spots, and there is a spark around him. That's when people he has by now identified as this universe’s heroes/vigilantes finally arrive.

Now, Danny really doesn’t want to deal with questions in either form, but he is also basically homeless. So he figures out a way to maybe fall under these heroes’/vigilantes’ jurisdiction for a while without having to answer any questions:

He pretends to have complete amnesia.

"Then why can he still remember his name?"

"Because he didn't give his name. That's a while different level of fae consent. It's probably the only thing that saved him."

"Would that extend to the rest of our world? It could explain why there's no documentation proving he exists."

"It's definitely likely. They would have tried to erase all traces of his identity, to tie him further into the fae realm."

Just as he found Babs via those subtle hidden traces of Oracles Network Everywhere, her setup and network now also have inescapable Vibes and traces of Being Haunted. Maybe not strongly anywhere but the Mains, yet, but if he starts helping enough?

Yeah, O already vibes the creepy green glow effect On Purpose when taking over other systems (like the Watchtower) and talking to people over them, he fits right in. Lean into the Vibes, Danno. Pick a suitable related Theme/Title to use with Strangers, even if you are Just Lil Danny Phantom to Babs herself. Something spooky but Flavored to match her.

Danny has worked with Clockwork, he absolutely has the undead offhand comments and suggestions that the Bats will find backfiring if they ignoring them. Between Clockwork and Oracle he is a lot better at not rushing in, but also doubled down on being a little shit.

Not really, but everyone is convinced he is. He arrived at crime alley around the same time the red hood appeared, he's strong, gets along with the night girls, often gets involved in fights to protect others, and is completely unbothered by death. What really sell it was when someone finally saw him shoot a gun, the guy has a terrific aim.

Sure, no one has seen him take a life, but that's what the vigilantes shit is for, right? So everyone knows this young man is Red Hood, but that's okay, crime alley is good keeping secrets from outsiders.

Danny has no idea everyone thinks this, and is unsure why he has so many hit man's behind his head. He can't even blame this on his ghost side, this men only use human weapons! This is his Fenton luck again, isn't it?

It's been going on for 3 years but Jason only just found out now that he's going into the Alley as himself.

Hilariously, Danny ALSO is just finding out (maybe figuring out?) what's going on. Like, people have been vaguely alluding to him being the Red Hood for the past 3 years, but because Danny hasn't been keeping up with the Gotham vigilante scene he straight up Did Not Get Those References until something happened...dealer's choice: he (finally) mentions it to Sam, #1 Poison Ivy Stan, who knows about other Gotham vigilantes/rogues by proxy and explains it. Or maybe his Neighbor the RH Goon lets something slip (very wink wink, nudge nudge type of slip, like "did you see the paper today? VERY interesting article amirite?")

Or, for maximum lolz, he MEETS RED HOOD one night at random - well, probably not 'meets', more like sees him vigilante-ing and is like "oooh I get it now".

Upon figuring it out he immediately switches from 'baffled response that people think is him poorly playing innocent' to 'staunch denial that people think is him VERY POORLY playing innocent'.

Meanwhile, through hi-jinks and casual blink and you miss it fate-driven shenanigans, Jason keeps JUST missing Danny. Like, he's casually discussing his supposed doppelganger on the phone and misses Danny denying he's RH in the background. They're both grocery shopping but one goes into the next aisle when the other is just starting on the last one they were in, Jason gets pulled into a conversation at the deli and misses Danny checking out (and once again awkwardly laughing off a reference to his 'nightlife').
