#promise!!!!

The same vein as my other post here

But what if Damian and Danny was the same age, I really love that trope too, that they’re basically twins how close in age they are, maybe just a few days, MAX a week or so.

When Damian comes back to the family, Bruce gets a whole new kind of paranoid again. He kinda stopped the whole sleeping around phase when he got the kids, since Dick (wanting to kill people) kinda took up a lot of his free time. And after that the kids just kept coming so he didn’t really get into it again.

But then Damian came into it, and he was like “wait, have I checked the DNA database the last few years??” And goes down into the cave to do a country wide DNA analysis on DNA on file, both in police/hospitals and the whole nine yards. (Cause he’s extra like that)

And then he find that in just about the same time he was SA’ed by Talia, he got really drunk at a science charity event in Amity Park, maybe to get rid of his stress of it all, and because Bruce would rather die than cope with his problems in a healthy way, and released some energy by being with the Fenton couple, who seemed sane enough (at the time).

The Fenton’s knew that Danny was Wayne’s but then decided that they kinda just wanted him themselves, and then got really into GiW and ghost hunting, and then kinda forgot to tell Wayne.

So now Bruce has to juggle with the fact that Talia hid away Damian, and the Fentons fucking forgot to tell him that they have his son.

He goes to Amity Park to find his son, who’s basically in the same situation as Tim, barely acknowledged by his parents and left to his own devices with his sister.

Bruce being Bruce goes, welp, might as well get custody of them both. Legally he should be able to when Danny confesses to the illegal machines in the basement that killed him. So the couple is deemed unfit to care for the two, then minors.

Problem is:

Danny and Jazz doesn’t really want to leave Amity Park.

Solution:

Buy a second mansion in Amity Park and make that the home they move into, with servants vetted by the Waynes, and security on par with the White House.

They can live there until they finish school, and they’re free to choose what happens after that, go to Gotham and be with the family, maybe Gotham university, or anything else.

Bruce is just happy that they’re not in the cape business like the rest of his kids…

Danny doesn’t know Bruce is Batman, so he has to be extra careful to not expose himself as a hero to them, and also not drag them into the ghost realm and ghost fighting. And also, wtf is wrong with the ectoplasm in the Jason kid?? (He a ghost too??)

But he also really likes the idea of an actually caring family, I mean, Bruce went out of his way to not uproot his life and makes sure they can choose whatever future they want, even if that doesn’t include him. Hell he even took Jazz in, who isn’t even his kid.

His new siblings seem fun, caring and like they actually care, making an effort to help him understand that being neglected by his parents isn’t his fault. Tim and him finding comradeship in both of their experiences with it. Dick is just overly protective and seems like he’s trying to genuinely get to know him. Making sure not to pressure the two new siblings too much, but also organizing siblings bonding time.

Bruce of course doesn’t know yet that Danny is a vigilante, so he has to juggle wanting to learn about these new kids, as well as hide them away from his Brucie persona, so they can live normal lives.

He’ll just ignore the way Constantine is brushing things off his shoulders every time they’re in the watchtower together, mumbling something about a ‘dark energy’ clinging to him. But he always says weird shit.

So what happens when a giant ghost fight occurs in Amity, Bruce is notified and comes to rescue his kid in full Batman gear, Danny is gone and Jazz won’t tell him where he is, cause why the fuck does Batman care.

Danny is just confused why the entire Justice league is suddenly in Amity, and why the fuck The Batman™️ is running around looking for his human form.

"Is it here yet?!"

Zisu briefly flinched at the sound of the door being thrown open, all instinct, before slowly relaxing. The source of it wasn't some surprise raid from Pearl Country officials- merely an excited Akari. Despite the early hour, the eyes of the girl she'd adopted were already sparkling, though she had no doubt she'd only rolled out of bed a few moments ago. Heaving a sigh that definitely wasn't fond, Zisu let the edges of her lips curl upwards in a broad smile.

"Not yet," Zisu said, "-it's not coming for another half hour, at least."

Akari's expression deflated, quickly turning into a pout. "I woke up too early."

Zisu just laughed. If anything, she'd woken up late, but she chose to bite her tongue on that part- at least for today. There was no school, and yesterday had been exhausting even for her. It was to be expected that Akari would want to sleep in.

"Don't worry," Zisu said, "-by the time you finish washing up, your partner will be here."

Akari's face lit back up at the statement, the girl eagerly dashing off towards the bathroom, no further prompting needed. Zisu couldn't help but chuckle again. There was no doubt that she had caused her a fair share of headaches over these past two months, but seeing her brimming with excitement like that...

...no. Don't think like that, Daybreak. This is only a temporary setup. She's not your real daughter.

(You don't get to have that sort of thing.)

"Enthusiastic, isn't she?"

The truth is, anon...I never even started it...

S-Sorry! But I did dig through old posts and found some headcanons regarding the development of their relationship in that verse here and there.

I do remember that the idea was initially to have Komaeda kill Nanami because the two of them made a suicide pact in case they ever fell into despair and she, like, fell into despair and died realizing this and wondering how everything could go so wrong, but ehhhhh. Killing her to remain “consistent” is just dumb and such a waste. I also don’t really like the idea of Komaeda directly murdering someone the more I think about it.

So, I guess maybe she fakes her death and goes into hiding or something. Maybe the above thing still happens and Komaeda was just too unstable to realize she was still alive. Not sure about that, but if they all think she’s dead, it doesn’t really make a difference. Still iffy on it, but it’s not my fault the foundation of human Nanami is so busted by design. I’m doing the best I can!

Anyway, if she’s alive, she can mastermind mhen, but out of a twisted desire to protect the sdr2 kids from them. She actually pilots Monokuma in this case, activating the video manually to carefully avoid anyone “innocent” like Naegi and co. And Komaeda stumbles across her very fortunately because this is about both of them. And the two stare one another down...
