You know me, I'm only here to drop ideas
I've been thinking for a small au where Damian follows Jon when he goes to space BEHIND EVERYONE'S BACK.
It may be an alternative way for this piece hehe.
Damian doesn’t trust Jon going alone, his family calms him down and just disregard it as him being an obsessive paranoid kid, hell even Clark tries to calm him down. But we know how he is: he follows Jon and brings with himself some magic items that can help him being invisible for a couple of minutes and more.
He just leaves a note saying that he went to make sure Jon doesn't get himself killed.
No one is surprised.
This, however changes everything.
Damian manages to see Ultraman and how he is torturing Jon in a fucking volcano, and Damian being human, cannot just jump and skiddattle, it takes days, but when Damian sees the opportunity of having a big distraction for Ultraman and using the same magic to eliminate his presence, manages to go to the volcano and finds his best friend chained and way too traumatized.
It's not until moments later that Ultraman takes notice of what's happening and a small fight ensues with Damian injuring Ultraman and leaving his universe.
And behold, Superson's adventures in space!!
They try to find their way home, with Jon having nightmares of his imprisonment at the volcano, he and Damian fight more often than not for almost an entire year, but... well things get better little by little. Emotionally and mentally.
Both growing up together 6 years between stars and more, besides, maybe Damian gets to also focus more in different types of magic im ancient temples of different planets, while Jon learns more about kryptonians and his powers.
I would love that at some point, both were separated from the other and it drives them nuts, Jon would be at the Legion of Heroes in the future and tries to use it was a way to find his best friend... only to later hearing a report of an intruder and well.... cue Damian armed to the teeth and trying to find Jon.
It becomes a heartfelt reunion and, while Jon is still affiliated with Legion, Damian isn't.
Both return to find their way home, only to see that they were the only ones who felt those 6 years, while on Earth it was only 3 weeks.
It would be interesting the family and hero dynamics for both tbh
Edit: should this Damian become kind of a renowned healer too?? Doctor!damian for the win?? Tell me your thoughts!!
