A not so well known fact about Dash, not even certain family members are safe from his bullying and overall obnoxious attitude. Just ask Steph. As if having an abusive Riddler knockoff for a dad along with watching her mom struggle with addiction wasn't bad enough, there was her snotty dum-dum of a cousin kicking her while down concerning her home life every chance he got as well.

She hasn't seen the jerky numbskull ever since the day Crystal got her life back on track and put an end to the clearly unwanted family gettogethers. Which is why it's a little surprising when he one day calls her out of the blue, asking that she come to Amity Park as he wanted to "make amends" for his past mistreatment and start over.

Steph isn't fooled for one second but goes anyway, purely out of curiosity. Once there it's painfully obvious that not only has Dash not changed in the slightest but also that his actual intentions were far from noble. Of course he didn't actually care about reconciling, he was only playing nice to worm his way into her good graces just because of her relationship with the Waynes.

Steph's first thought is to wipe that smirk off his stupid looking face for good while publicly disowning him as she watches him from afar, bragging about how his future will be cemented after he persuades her to invite him to the latest gala. But when he ceases his incessant boasting to harass the potential Wayne adoptee that randomly appeared, she instantly gets a better idea.

The next few minutes after she eventually approaches him and the A-listers are almost literally excruciating. Bruce would be so proud of how well her poker face held up while the dummy she was cursed to share blood with just shamelessly showed her off and sucked up to her, not even bothering to release his victim the entire time, before finally getting to the point.

Steph has been counting down to the first day of winter. She had worked her ass off to make sure all cases she was assigned were completed.

She spoke to her teachers beforehand, asking for any classwork they would give her. Steph had even informed her mother that she would be on a trip so she would not have to worry about her (or listen to her lectures) for a while.

She had told Bruce she wanted to be benched for a couple of days. He seemed almost relieved by her request, letting her know they would only call upon her in an emergency.

Everything was all set for when Danny would arrive. She will be taking her boyfriend on a winter wonderland tour in Gotham. Each section of the city had little festivals, events, and fun holes in the walls.

Stephanie Brown made her way to her classmates' room; she wanted to study with him for class. He and his family moved to Gotham.

This is the first half of a continuation of the previous short story, even though it takes place before that part. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ As Danny cradled little Eleanor —Ellie— gently in his arms, the newborn slept soundly, unaware of the chaos that had just unfolded. He’d taken her into his arms after everything had been sorted out at the hospital regarding her custody —Technus had played a key role, ensuring the process went smoothly and keeping everything under wraps; The old ghost had insisted this was repayment for Danny saving him from being ‘ended’.

   Now, with Ellie nestled against him, Danny couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling that gnawed at him. Jazz had given him a parenting book, and Technus had promised to keep the ghosts away from Amity Park for the week, claiming that the birth of a ‘ghost child’ was a momentous occasion —never mind the fact that Ellie wasn’t a ghost and Danny had no idea whether she’d inherited any of his powers. It was a small blessing, and he figured he should use the time to get a crash course in fatherhood.

   But after that, what then? The ghosts would return to attacking Amity Park, of that he was certain. But how would he keep the city safe while caring for Ellie? And school —he couldn’t exactly bring her with him. Jazz would help for a while, but he couldn’t expect her to sacrifice her time indefinitely, especially when he wanted her to focus on her own life as well —He couldn’t keep asking her to look after Ellie while he was at school or off fighting ghosts. He needed a solution, and fast. Either he’d have to figure out a way to stop the ghosts from attacking altogether or find someone who could look after Ellie for him.

— Hey, Danny, -Jazz’s voice called, pulling him from his thoughts. He turned to see her standing in the doorway, her eyes softening as she looked down at the bundle in his arms.- Is that her?

— Yeah, -Danny replied, his voice quieter than usual.- Want to see her?

   Jazz didn’t need to be asked twice. She quickly stepped toward him, and Danny shifted his arms slightly, just enough for her to get a better view. As she looked down at the tiny sleeping baby, Ellie frowned slightly, wriggling as though trying to snuggle closer to Danny’s chest.

— She’s so cute, -Jazz murmured, a smile tugging at her lips as she gently pulled the blanket aside to get a better look at Ellie.- Hard to believe she’s your daughter.

— Hey! -Danny chuckled quietly, but the tone was playful.- Watch it, Jazz. 

   He kept his voice low enough to avoid waking Ellie, though he couldn't help but grin at his sister's teasing. Jazz only smirked in return, unfazed. 

   She lingered for a moment, cooing at the baby with a warmth in her voice before reluctantly letting go of the blanket. As Danny brought Ellie closer to him, she settled back down, her frown disappearing into a peaceful sleep.

— I take it everything went well back in Gotham? -Jazz asked, and Danny nodded, looking more at ease.

— Yeah, Technus kept his word down to a T, -Danny replied.- The paperwork went smoothly, and he made sure no one would find out Stephanie’s her mom.

— I still don’t get why she wanted to keep that hidden, -Jazz said, her frown deepening.

— She probably just wanted to keep her safe, -Danny said, his tone serious.- With how unhinged the Joker and some of the other rogues of Gotham are, I wouldn’t put it past them to go after Ellie if they ever got their hands on Stephanie.

— Maybe, but something still doesn’t sit right with me, -Jazz replied, her voice laced with concern.- Anyway, have you told her you made it back to Amity safe? I know you still have her number on your phone.

— Not yet, -Danny said, bouncing his arms a little when Ellie started to fuss.- I’m waiting a bit longer—gotta make sure it fits with my cover story of getting Vlad to lend me his private jet.

— You could’ve told her you were a meta with portaling abilities, -Jazz said, a teasing glint in her eyes.- Wouldn’t have been that hard to keep up, right?

   Danny frowned, not sharing her amusement.

— And how would I explain it when no meta records come up when we registered Ellie at the hospital? -He replied, glancing down at his daughter.- Besides, even though I trust Stephanie a lot, I don’t think it’s a good idea for her to find out about my powers. It’s safer for her that way.

   Jazz gave him a skeptical look, but Danny didn’t meet her gaze. She didn’t push the matter further, but the doubt still lingered. Instead, she moved on to another issue.

— Sam and Tucker are downstairs, -Jazz said, watching as Danny’s head snapped up in surprise, his gaze sharp.- I managed to keep them occupied for now, but I think they suspect something’s going on.

   Danny’s frown deepened, and he sighed.

— I knew I’d have to tell them the truth about my weird behavior over the last eight months, -He admitted, rubbing a hand over his face.- But I didn’t think it’d be this soon.

   Jazz placed a hand on his shoulder, her expression sympathetic.

— Better to rip the band-aid off now than let it fester, -She said gently.

   Danny took a deep breath, his resolve firming up.

— I know, -He said, eyes hardening as he squared his shoulders.- You’re coming with me, right?

   Jazz gave him a soft smile and squeezed his shoulder lightly before removing her hand.

— Of course, -She said.- Did you really think I’d let you go through this alone?

Steph’s new boyfriend, Danny Fenton, was…weird. Like, he acted mostly like a normal person, but sometimes he does things that should not be possible. At least by normal human standards anyways. Multiple Batfam members have seen him phase through doors, and walls, and furniture, and even more objects. He has definitely frozen things. He’s been seen floating several feet off the ground.

Steph finds this to be super cool. She really wants to know if Danny was a meta, an alien, some sort of supernatural creature, but Danny is saying nothing.

AHAHAHA you guys really ask the best questions!

If inheriting Choi Jung Soo’s memories was like watching a movie, I believe memes would fly straight out of Choi Han’s head the moment they’re through - although, let’s be realistic, who has time to be keeping track of memes when there are monsters terrorizing your city? 

I doubt Choi Han received all the memories of Choi Jung Soo and probably only watched the relevant memories, and unlike Kim Rok Soo who has a record ability, information that isn’t important probably won’t leave a lasting impression on him (not when at the time of receiving his memories, they were in the midst of a battle and Choi Han’s only thoughts were ‘how can I return to Cale-nim’s side ASAP?)

Rather instead of evolving into a meme lord, I believe Choi Han has potential to spout dad jokes with a completely straight face. Obviously, this would only happen around really close family and during peace times. Honestly, when Choi Han met Choi Jung Soo and the two bonded, Choi Han radiated more of a nice, reliable uncle vibe. Tolerant of Choi Jung Soo’s shenanigans because he’s young but not so outdated he won’t be able to get in a rib or two.

Choi Jung Soo radiates chaos energy and would 110% meme if it was still a thing back in apocalyptic days. 

Meanwhile, Kim Rok Soo knows memes exist. Knows what they’re about. But he seem so disinterested and unamused when Choi Jung Soo’s memeing like a complete fool, everyone just assumes he’s not interested and just forgets about it. 

Until one day out of nowhere at the end of a meeting discussing the appearance of a new monster that can apparently split into two- “the one with the beard would be the evil one” it’s so smooth no one catches it first until ‘beard? what beard?’ Jung Soo’s ‘Wait a moment, was that a Star Trek referen-’
