So Iâve seen some posts going around about a âBruce adopts Danny and everyone thinks theyâll finally have a normal family memberâDanny is very not normalâ and hereâs my late night take on it.
Or
Danny batfam au where they batfam tries really hard to keep their vigilante ass-kicking nightlife a secret from danny because he is âthe only normal one in the familyâ this becomes a problem however when danny gets kidnapped.
ââ-
The batfam all work together in a deeply serious family meeting to save their boy. After hours of combining their brains together they come up with a plan that will effectively save danny from joker, kick jokerâs ass, and also make them look really cool while doing it.
So they bust in that warehouse, guns blazing, explosions fading in the background, a gust of dramatic dust covers the air
Batman steps infront of the rest of the team and demands to the blurry figure somewhere in the distance, âWhere is Danny!â
The dust clearsâthey expect bad guys pointing weapons meancingly at them, they expect a cackle of a wicked clown amused at whatever plot he had planned coming to life, they expected a terrified boy perhaps tied somewhere likely siting in a chair that joker could present to the bats as a way of taunting them.
The dust settlesâthey observed their surroundings looking around and realize that, there are few new facts to be added into this âdefeat the villain, get the bro, happy ending equationâ
There is decidedly no weapons being pointed at them: In fact, all of the henchmen are already knocked out and tied up.
There is decidedly no evil laughs being echoed their way: In fact, the only noise that isnt coming from them is a light scritch scratch of a pencil
And there is decidedly no terrified little boy, there is a Danny however and he seems to be doing alrightâactually scratch that.
Danny is doing wonders for the situation heâs in right now: In factâ
âDanny is sitting criss cross applesauce on-top a knocked out tied up Joker doing his algebra homework
The small blue eyed boy looks up at Batman's voice and visibly brightens, âOh hey guys, I was wondering when youâd show up.â
Jason says with the utmost of comprehension, â...what.â
âSo hi, Iâm kinda new to gotham so sorry about beating these guys up, I think theyâre villains? I dunno, anyways if you could take care of these guys while I call an uber home thatâd be great.â
Danny sends them a blinding smile which would've been adorable if there werenât a massive pile of bodies he were casually walking away from.
As Danny nears the exit he looks over his shoulder to the baffled group of vigilantes and blinks
âOh yeah one last thing,â Danny rubs the back of his neck nervously, âCould you guys not tell the Waynes about this.â
Damian speaks up for the rest of his frozen family, albeit hesitantly, âI do think they have already been alerted of your kidnapping.â
âOh no that's fine.â Danny starts nervously, âIt's more about me being the⌠fighter⌠in this situation. I was just adopted by them and they seem really nice, I donât want to scare them away being all grrrr im a scary monster boy and i love to hurt people argh.â
âI donât think theyâd think you're a monster.â Tim adds quietly
âEh, tell that to my birth parentsâthey went psycho on me. Like evil scientist psycho, it was not as awesome as the movies make it sound, having scientists for parents.â Danny says bittersweet as he admits with a shrug
There is a moment of silence as the batfamily reevaluate the adoption file that states Dannyâs family before they passed were very good peopleâalbeit a bit excentric.
Dick blurts out, âWhere did you learn to fight?â
Danny sends him an anxious chuckle, âI actually started when I was fourteenâmy town always ran into some trouble so I had to step up. Itâs part of the reason I moved here actually. I really donât want anything to do with that hero vigilante life anymoreâŚâ The boy puts his hands together in a pleading motion, âSo please donât tell The Waynes!â
Bewildered at the situation as a whole they nod in a daze
The boys eyes widen at their easy agreement and he grins, âThank you so so much! Iâve got to go now, itâs way past my curfew. but youâll probably see me again next time I get kidnappedâIâll make sure to put in a good word for you guys with my family bye!â
And just like that Danny slips off into the night leaving behind a family who were so sure they finally found a normal addition to their pack.
Jason sighs looking forlornly at the spot Danny had previously been standing, âYou could just never pick the just semi-mentally healthy normal kids could you?â
Bruce groans pinching his the bridge of his nose
