Clockwork (attempting order): “Nap time is at 1900 hours. Deviation will not be tolerated.” Danny (sneezing, glowing faintly): “No nap. Play.” Ancient of Chaos: “Perfect! Playtime chaos is my specialty!” Ancient of Life: “Rest, child. Restore.” Ancient of Storms: “I can lull him with gentle rain.” Danny: casts a tiny storm cloud that drenches everyone “NOPE.”

Ancients (in unison): “The power of the mortal butler triumphs.”

Bruce: “Alfred’s officially the best babysitter in all realms.” Danny: half-asleep “Alfred... king too.”

Danny (age 2, glowing faintly, clutching a half-empty juice box): “I WANT MORE JUICE. THIS IS INJUSTICE.”

Bruce: “Danny, please. It’s bedtime.”

[Outside the manor, Gotham residents look up at a swirling green-purple vortex.]

Danny (snuggling a glowing stuffed bat): “I’m a good king now.”

Steph: “For now.”

Okay. The usual Danny is related to a Batfam member. This time it’s Tim.

The twist, they both know of each other and that Danny was practically pawned off by the Drake parents to the Fentons then legally adopted. But for some reason or another the rest of the bats have no idea and Tim ain’t dragging Danny into this either so he ain’t saying shi to anyone.

Not Danny and definitely not the Batfam. Neither know about either.

That is until Tim gets onto Ra’s radar. Ya know the whole obsessed old man who keeps his spleen in a jar. Only when the demon head realizes he’s not getting to Tim through the usual means he goes for a different approach.

Stealing his little detectives younger brother. Either for creepy this is the next best thing to Tim or to try and force Tim’s hand for something or other.

Cue Danny being super confused as to why yet another crazy old dude is going on about detectives and heirs while having him tied up precariously and dangerously close to a massive puddle of the most putrid ecto ever. It’s so bad it’s making his eyes water and skin itch.

Then he gets even more confused when his brother comes in dressed to the nines in vigilante garb followed by the Funeral Furries of Gotham.

Tim Drake is working alone one night when he happens across a summoning a quickly stops it.

Unfortunately for him, one of the cultists get the drop on him, leaving him injured and stumbling into the portal the cultists had just made.

The rest of the bats and birds find out he’s missing, find a convenient camera that shows Tim as RR fall through the portal and start looking for him.

Months pass, they get a lead that brings them to Amity Park Illinois. There’s someone there who looks just like Tim but has no memory of being there lost member. But seemingly appeared here at the same time as Tim vanishing.

Even if the people of this sleepy town say that Tim has lived there for his entire life.

Meanwhile, Danny is living out his unlife trying to get through the rest of Highschool with his friends. Trying to fix a stupid wish he made with Desiree that erased all traces of him from before a few months ago. (He was trying to get rid of a bad yearbook photo) when these weird people start approaching him calling him Tim.

They just won’t leave him alone.

Danny goes into dcu (prolly cause of CW) just after Jason crawls out of his grave. To Danny he finds a halfa his age and looks like him but is very broken. So he takes him back to the GZ to heal. With no memories, Jason goes to AP with Danny where he stays and learns about his new powers. Gets accepted by the Fenton parents and Team Phantom.(now team Nightingale) for a year or two

Things go pear shaped because of the GIW capturing Vlad and learning of a ‘ghost wearing human flesh’ they start hunting Danny and Jason now known as Phantom and Revenant. (But often when fighting together are called the Nightingale Ghosts) the Fenton’s send team Nightingale(the two halfa’s, Sam, Tucker and promising to send Ellie later when they (jazz) can contact her) through the portal and seal it behind them. Promising to re open it when they fix things there.

Together, the two wander the GZ but soon realize they need to still care for their human selves. They settle on going to Jason’s home dimension. Once there they find themselves drawn to Gotham for various reasons. Being that they need to find under the table jobs as they are 16 and only Jason has documents but he’s dead and doesn’t really remember his whole story yet(only starting to get bits and pieces back before they have to leave then getting worse now that he’s back in his home dimension and city.) there they refuse to use their powers unless absolutely necessary.

The group of four end up in crime alley doing odd jobs, get caught up in a joker attack and escape with a gaggle of kids close to their age thanks to the help of Tucker who has quickly become a guy in the chair for them. With a now larger group of kids, they form a tight knit collective. but that soon turns into them running their own gang of alley kids which turns into a full take over after an older gang starts targeting them.

The nightingale’s (already traumatized from Jason’s death, subsequent resurrection and healing, then the almost literal burning of Danny’s world and then the joker attack) get a little violent with it. Start using their powers behind the scenes

This gets the attention of the Bats and Birds.

Jason is the most violent, having outbursts when he has a memory return or when he spots one of the city's vigilantes stepping into their haunt. It comes to a head when Batman himself approaches them after they plan to kill the joker. They fight, it comes out that Revenant Nightingale is Jason Todd. Then they manage to push the Bats and Birds out of Crime Alley again.

There’s a peace period where each side licks wounds. Calm down and start actually making things better. The making things better part is Jason and Danny using their co-crime lord money to make social safety nets in the Alley for it’s residents. Clean out a few rats. Make green spaces for Sam. Then Jazz and Ellie show up. Ellie is about to destabilize and Jazz is grievously injured. The GIW have made a way into the DCU to come after the male Duo.

They try to handle it on their own, but the GIW take root as if they’ve always been there. Pairing with anti-meta groups and pushing legislation like in Danny’s world. There isn’t much they can do other than go to Batman and the Justice league for help. By now they are 18. Have calmed down a bit but aren’t anywhere as ‘clean’ as the Bats and Birds.

With the ball rolling, conversations are had but Jason doesn’t want to talk any of them about their halfa status. Danny agrees. They track down the portal between worlds for the Hero’s and vigilantes Danny goes through with the promise of returning once he checks on his old world and parents. The door way between the realms is closed behind him and the GIW are taken care of in the DCU soon after.
