DPXDC DeadSea Ep1

The summer before the portal incident, the Fenton parents decided to be responsible for one final time. They realized that their final push on completing their portal would likely be all consuming, and with the school year nearly over, they go through the process of getting their children signed up for camp. Getting their kids out from under foot while also providing them a safe, monitored environment for them to enjoy during the break.

They even found advanced educational summer programs that their kids would enjoy to make things easier. Jazzy was booked into a behavioral studies summer program that would delve into various developmental studies. It was hosted in Metropolis but also moved to Star City and Gotham during different subject focuses. Danny would be going to a very exclusive space camp, one set up by Nasa and Wayne Enterprise. Both had taken a lengthy application process, most of which was done in the lab. Meaning it was not surprising that the leaflets were damaged and nearly illegible when the kids got them.

So the Monday after school let's out Danny and Jazz pack up and head out.

Now here Danny was, two busses later sitting at a... dock? There is a group of six other teens under a banner he could recognize from the leaflet he had. Only Atlantis Expedition, had a different connotation while attached to a boat and waves instead of the blotchy dark smudge on Danny's pamphlet.

A few minutes of confusion and a kind tween later Danny had a not destroyed pamphlet to read. Turns out Atlantis and therefore Atlantians were real, and SOMEHOW his parents had gotten him into an ambassador program. An introduction between the youth of both realms.

"Well, in dad's defense, it IS sponsored by NASA." He mumbled to himself.

"What were you expecting? " The helpful tween asked. As his red headed friend wandered over from where he had been chatting with another older ginger.

"Let's just say this is not the space adventure I was advertised." Danny said awkwardly. "Not gonna complain though, still better than being stuck with my aunt for the summer."

"How is that even possible? I thought that this whole cultural exchange thing was very exclusive." The tallest red head asked incredulously.

"Yeah seems unlikely my dude, didn't your dad do the final cuts for attendance Dick?" The shorter red head asked the helpful boy.

"Yeah I mean it's does- Oh!" Danny admits while flipping the pamphlet to read the back.

"What?" The smallest helpful boy asks.

Danny points to a picture of an environmental suit. "That's the Fenton Suit 2.2. Mom and Dad just sold those blueprints to WE last year. It must have bumped us onto the short list for the program. That plus how distracted they have been in the lab, they probably didn't even read past NASA and WE before sending in an application." Danny explained.

"Oh, you must be Daniel Fenton! Yeah Dad did mention something about an explosion disrupting the video interview he had with your parents. I'm Dick by the way." The smallest boy introduced.

"Ew, no, Danny please... and yeah that sounds about right." Danny says offering his hand to shake.

"Well this will be an interesting summer for you then. I'm Wally." The more freckled ginger introduced himself next.

"Roy." The tallest ginger said with a smirk. "Did you even pack swimming gear?"

"I mean I packed a pair of trunks for the sensory dep tank... I don't think they'll be much use under the sea though." Danny admitted with a laugh.

"No worries, WE is supplying the dive suits for inside the depth suits. Besides the main castle of Atlantis is pressurized with magic so it'll be fine inside. " Dick explained, swatting at Roy for teasing the poor boy.

"Boats Here!" Wally cries and grabs his duffel off the ground and waving at the docking vessel.

They were all quickly aboard the boat and being introduced to the Atlantian kids that would be their buddies and guides for the program. They were left to mingle while the boat got them to the submarine that would take them the rest of the way to Atlantis.

Danny took a chance to break off from the awkward interactions and wander to a railing on the deck. He was quickly joined by a girl who had been introduced as Tula.

"It is even prettier under the water, especially the city." She said also watching the ocean pass by.

"Yeah I bet, I've never even seen the ocean before today. I can hardly imagine that soon I'll be so deep in it." Danny explains

Tula grasps and runs to the emergency box on the side of the hul. Pulling out a life jacket and several lifesavers. "Oh no! Put these on! I'll go get help!"

Roy, Wally, Dick, As well as two other atlantians, Garth and Kaldur come over to the sounds of alarm.

"What’s going on?" Wally asks

"I'm not sure-" Danny mumbles, burried under life preserves.

"He doesn't know how to swim!!" Tula exclaims in alarm.

" Once again Space Boy, how did you manage to get here?" Roy snarks

"Can someone please explain how this happened?" Garth asked exasperatedly.

Dick started to explain the situation to Garth and Tula while Kaldur walked up to Danny.

"Are you okay? Should you be this close to the railing?" He calmly asks.

"I KNOW HOW TO SWIM!" Danny huffed out indignantly.

"But you just said that this is your first time even seeing the ocean!" Tula explains.

"There are these magical things called pools." Roy points out with a laugh.

"Actually more like streams and lakes for me. Parents liked to offroad in search for paranormal entities as family bonding." Danny added.

'Oh... Right..." Tula said through her hands as she blushed.

After somehow waking up as a preschooler, Danny wasn't sure what to do. His parents and others were unsure of what to say or do. And as it turned out, they weren't even trying to fix it. As it's again Adorable baby Danny, they can fix it later.

Later Jazz was told to babysit her baby brother while their family was away, something with the G.I.W. or similar in amity park.

So she just took him with her to school. And the funny thing was that the professors accepted him because he didn't scream and make problems. He could stay and listen to the class.

+ Out of sheer boredom, Danny started working on the tests the students were taking, completely unaware that they were considered difficult.

To the teachers' delight, he aced every exam he took. From math to History or Art.

+

Meanwhile, Tim sat in shock, frozen in place until someone had to nudge him to move.

"What's going on?" Damian shouted, breaking the silence.

The engineering professor replied, "He didn't get first place on the test, so he's stuck like this."

"So?" Dick interjected, looking puzzled. "It's not the first time."

The professor added, "He lost to the little sibling of our top student."

My take on this prompt Requested by @purplereaderfans

Danny looked up from his paper, a bright green crayon clutched in his small hand. Jazz patted his head with a quick smile, pushing her chair in so she could start making her way to the teacher, something about the wrong definition if Danny had heard what she'd been muttering correctly.

grumbling, Danny shook his head in an attempt to fix his hair. he hated how everyone was treating him like a child, he was sixteen, almost seventeen for Ancient's sake!

sure, he looked like he was three, but was this really necessary? head pats, baby talk, dumbed-down explanations; it's like they don't notice that he's still mentally a teenager. Like, seriously?

Mom and Dad had been the ones who created the damn device, they should know how to fix this, but did they? no, because; "Aww, Jack, look at him! Isn't our baby boy just the cutest!" and "Why yes, dear, we should get more pictures! It's not like every day a parent gets to witness their kid's toddler years again!"

DP x DC Prompt inspired by a few fics where Tim became a Halfa

Danny had lost his family and friends to the Nasty Burger explosion. He may have stopped Dan, but that only delayed the explosion for a couple of years. What's worse is that Dani and Vlad were also victims of the Nasty Burger explosion. Dani had been welcomed to the family after Vlad introduced her to them, and Vlad had mostly reformed, that's why he was willing to go to the Nasty Burger restaurant for Danny.

They were waiting on Danny because it was his 16th birthday, and he was doing some business in the Infinite Realms related to Ghost King things, and Clockwork wasn't around to advise him, which is why he took too long. Immediately after the explosion, the GIW had captured him and had experimented on him and vivisected him for months. The Crown of Flames and the Ring of Rage wouldn't let him fully die or fade.

By some miracle, he had gotten free from the GIW and escaped to Gotham. There, he slowly heals and, with the help of Lady Gotham, gets the Bats to investigate the GIW after Danny left a flash drive with information on the GIW his parents gathered, which includes the crimes they committed that directly affect Metas inside the Clock tower during the day.

It doesn't take long for Danny to be found by the Bats, as he's trying to stop bleeding Ectoplasm and Blood, which is an obvious trail to follow. The whispers of Lady Gotham tell him to trust her Knights, same for Clockwork's sticky notes. Slowly, Danny lets his guard down around the Bats, and they start treating him like part of their family (even though they were gonna be just helping this teen out until he got better). It then led Danny to be adopted by Bruce a few months later while the GIW are being shut down.

Danny had been making many improvements to the Battech, as none of their technical equipment can handle low levels of Ectoplasm from him. The first things upgraded were the batcomputer and Babs clock tower set-up.

The angst happens during Danny's first night out on patrol.

He learned that because this universe is swarming with heros it dosent reeeaaallly need protection

So for the first 2 months danny juat relaxes, using his connection with the ghosts and shades of gothem to get himself a pretty good appartment with a fair amount of free time amd cash

What he wasent expecting was for the ghosts of residential obsessed billionaire bruceie wayne's parents, thomas and martha, to ask him to protect bruce

Danny thinks it over and decided, 'fuck it, how much work could it be, besides i need to protect someone anyway'

.

.

.

Danny was contemplating walking up and punching batman in the face

Turns out the obsessed billionaire, is a parinoid creepy emotionally constipated vigilante

It was 3 weeks into protecting thomas and Martha's "little boy" and danny was already sick of it, and of bruce, the comious amounts of time danny spent knocking out goons was ridiculous, let alone and amount of times he needed to help out the robins

And how the fuck did he raise them, the little one is so violent he could rival the way his parents talked about ghosts

It was after mid afternoon, after danny day job and he's waiting for the sun to go down to keep mr.dark and brooding safe

It was then that another shade plopped itself on his lap, this one specifically had been following him for the last few days

It was 10 minutes later that the little shade gave him an idea, an amazing idea of how to make protecting the dumb fuck that was bruce wayne MUCH more fun, danny looked at the sun and he knew he had time

.

.

.

He got black cargo pants, a black tank top, a labcoat that he dyed toxic green, a white gas mask, one of those belts construction people wear to hold tools and stuff, combat boots, white gloves and a crap ton of scrap metal, househole appliances and a tool box

He spent the next 5 hours constructing little gadgets, remaking the fenton-thermos-model human and preparing for a night out.

.

.

.

Danny was set

In his labcoat was the hand held stuff

:extra tools, retractable boe staff, smoke bombs, mini fire works, trackers

In his cargo pants he had the more heave hitters: the guns he designed, more smoke bonbs, lipstick lazers, wire

But his belt was his favourite: the now human souping thermos, a harly quinn inspired mallet and the ectoplasm grenades,

Tonights going to be fun

.

.

.

Batman saw alot of things, lately things have been too easy, he got hit less, goons attacks hurt less and sometimes his rouge took too long to atrack ofter breaking out of arkham

It had set him on edge

Even his kids said things seemed easer, so he's not paranoid

Tonight however gave him many more questions

During the usual fight with riddler, a kid slightly younger than tim, wearing a gas mask, dropped from the roof like the spawn of satan, dropped smoke bombs, then the sounds of violence accured

when bruce could see again, all the goons were strung up on wire upsidedown

The riddler was tied to a chair which was hanging by one leg over a vat of...something with a smile drawn on his face and his eyes blindfolded

When he looked up the labcoat wearing kid was holding a mallet and a grenade of some kind

:awww dont worry, none of them will die, I'm like you in that sence, i dont kill people...howeverrr messing with them is fair game

Batman tried to stare him down but that made the kid laugh

:aww that wont work B, besides if i wanted to hurt you I'd of done it in the last 3 weeks

So this was why things were easer

Now, as you probably guessed im a fan of the danny gets adopted trope and dp x dc crossovers

We've seen de-aged danny adopted by various members of the batfam, super man, and even black canary

So id like to open i new possibility that could even possibly work without the crossover (though it would be a lot less exciting)

I like to propose mr lancer as a possible adopter candidate

In various stores and Headcanons with jack and Maddie salt he has been brought up as someone who would call child protective services only for nothing to happen

So with a newly de-aged and hurt danny clockwork decided to try and find a worthy candidate to take care of his favorite halfa and finds one mr lancer who is moving to a city of your choice because he was offered a job a principal

He give him a visit in him ( and his spouse if he has one) new home and explains the situation and now we have the newest adoptee (adopter?) Trying to juggle having a ghosty son and his new job

And new habits for young danny to pick up

(Now i dont know much about mr lancer outside of what I've read because its been a long while since I've watched this show but i do know he doesn't curse and i think it would be funny for danny to pick up his habit of cursing without cursing but making it space themed)

(Im talking astronauts, planets, stars and constellations)

Can you imagine a little danny stubbing his toe and going "sweet neil Armstrong that hurts" or "oh stars" or anything space related? Or if he's mad at someone and some space names just slipping out and lancer jsut being like "danny!" While the offensive party is just confused and mildly insulted

And depending if its a crossover he is also going to be trying to contact or dodge concerned superheroes

Who knows maybe mr lancer will become a misunderstood Vigilante hunting down the giw so his son would be safe and got on the justice leagues radar

Or maybe the x-man pay his home a visit after one of the students see his son use his power

Or his son being a having the classic trope of protector spirit gets noticed by sheild

And last but not least danny being a smart space cookie entering a science competition for stark enterprises and not only blowing the competition away but also giving off some strange energy readings and having tony take an interest

Danny was doing his usual wandering through the infinite realms and talking to his sister.

It's been a few months since he left and according to the news articles in his home universe jazz was redefining the term " ripping them a new one".

He was so proud of his sister, he often sent her some of the things he found, like books from forgotten historys and phyciatritrist books from other universes.

He was also discovering new powers, like shapshifting, telekinesis, night vision, slight omnipotence from clockwork and afew awesome others.

He was just hanging out in the gap between universes when he heard a small "meaw"

He looked and saw a cat, but he had orange fur and black stripes along his body, not un normal, but the blood red eyes amd weird collor told a different story.

The cat itself was hurt and bleeding from his back paw, and kept meowing for help.

Danny sighed cursed his budding obssession again and went to help the cat.

He used his ice powers to numb the paw before he pulled out his first aid kit, he disinfected the cut and wrapped it in bandages, he felt around the rest of the cats body, there seemed to be some brusing around the neck above the collar but no broken bones, he once again uned his ice powers to numb the pain.

After treating the cats wounds, the cat walked over and sat in his lap, softly purring away.

Danny started to pet the cat and decided to stay for a bit.

.

.

.

It was not 20 minuest later a teenager in a suit, claws and had his hair done up like a certain fruitloop he knew, came slightly running to where danny was and calling out 'Teekl!' At the top of his voice.

The cat on danny lap perked up at the sound and then looked at danny expectantly.

Danny sighed and just knew this weirdo was the cats owner. On the bright side he now knew the cats name, silver lining or whatever the hell people say.

Danny stood up, the now dubbed Teekl, safely purring in his arms, he started to walk towards to still yelling weirdo and said.

"You'll lose your voice like that"

That was the wrong thing to say, as the weirdo spun around and blasted him with a red beam that looked annoyingly similar to plasmus maximus.

" woaw woaw! Fire at me all you like but dont bring this cutie into it!"

Danny sreamed as he doged then held uo the confused kitty. The weirdo, for his part, looks slightly guilty for almost frying his cat but oddly enough he flew past anger and into confusion as he stared at the purring cat.

"How ... how did you get Teekl!? And how did you get her like...that?"

The weirdo gestured to the purring kitty.

"Put away the fire and I'll tell ya"

Over the next hour danny and the weirdo, now named klarion, talked about how danny met Teekl and how he got her purring on his lap. Strangly enough they bacame fast friends.

Klarion started to rant about people called the 'Justiase league' ruining his plans, danny asked about what plan and he told him.

Klarion, while enjoying himself with his new friend, was waiting for the other shoe to drop. People didnt like him, either he was to much or they didnt like the whole evil thing. So after he told danny about his evil plans that the Justiase league were ruining, klarion expected him to run.

What he didnt expect was advice on how to improve his plans and pull a fast one on the JL. And the stuff he said was good! Like super villain levels evil!

Danny gave klarion another one of the phones with his number in it and explained it to him. Danny told klarion a little about his past, nothing in detail.

Just when they were about to part ways klarion safely holding Teekl in his arms and danny with his bag over his back, danny showed klarion a picture.

It was of a red headed woman with blue eyes, in the photo klarion could see vindictive satisfaction in her eyes. When danny told him that this was his sister he searched for the resemblance.

Then danny threatoned him. Said that while jazz isn't in the DC universe and that they didnt have any business harming eachother, danny told klarion that if he ever hurt his sister, he would make ending him a dream he will never reach. It felt sufficating, and klarion knew that if he ever so much as touched this ' jazz' he'd be far worse than dead.

He noded his head in underatanding and left, with a new knowledge to avoid a certain universe in the infinite realms.

.

.

.

It was less than a month later when klarion called danny to rant about the JL again, danny listened and even agreed with him in some parts.

Then he gave klarion advice, klarion wrote up a copy of his next plan and sent it to danny for some help, though if you asked him he'd tell you he was just bragging to his new friend. And if danny sent it back with a few alterations that happened to get the win for klarion when he used that plan, he didnt expect any gratitude.

And if klarion started to spend more time with danny in person, and on the phone.

Pulling pranks wars, plotting plans and sometimes just talking, while keeping danny a closly garded secret and away from battels,

So what if danny was better at hiding his secrets,sam and tucker weren't there during his firat malfunction with his powers and they no nothing

So dannys on his own... he cant bring anyone into this

So he has to adapt the fuck out of his life

If his grades drop that'll bring attention to him

He needs to keep on track of all his parents wepons and blueprints

He needs to keep track of all his new enemy's, allys, friends and colleagues(?)

And he needs to find out WTF he is

.

.

.

Danny has no time for sleep, if he's not at school or with his friends(gotta keep up appearances) he's in his freashly made haunt in the ghost zone

And thankfully (THANK GOD, TRULY) an old ghost tought him hot to make pockets in time so when he wants to he can do what he wants for a certain time

He spends his time there figureing out his parents inventions and making them better

Learning about the ghosts to hopefully give him a break during the day

All in all dannys doing fine, no ones knowes he's phantom, he's learning about ghost culture and doing research into whatever he is, he's just tired

Things are going fine...
