AKA "Ghosts feed on emotions. The stronger, the better. Danny quickly realizes this also applies to pain. He becomes a nurse at Dr. Leslie Thompkins' clinic. Enter: the Wayne Family Dilemma." DPxDC prompt idea!

Okay, so, Danny hadn't really intended to work at Dr. Leslie Thompkins' free clinic as a nurse. He even applied for the job; he was helping somebody else who'd gotten mugged get to the free clinic and Dr. Thompkins stopped him, asked, "You're a nurse?" And he was hired. It turns out, nobody wanted to work for Dr. Thompkins because it was a crime-ridden hotspot: Crime Alley.

Danny doesn't even really realize what's happening until a patient with a GSW comes into clinic, yelling and bloody, and Danny's nitrile touch calms him enough that he doesn't even need morphine. A haphazard surgery later and Danny's fully satisfied - he doesn't even need to eat dinner because he feels like he's two minutes away from a food coma.

That's where the rumor starts. The free clinic has good drugs. Not fentanyl, oxycodone, dilaudid, or ketamine. Something better that has no side effects and totally erases every pain - as little as a sore throat to chronic pain that doctors have said there's no cure for. It becomes so well known that Dr. Thompkins' clinic is a huge target and a certain batfamily has to stake out the place to dissuade criminals.

Enter: Dick Grayson, former BPD officer with chronic leg pain after being shot in the leg. Jason "Totally Not A Crime Lord" Todd whose extensive burns affect the right side of his body. Barbara Gordon, Gotham librarian whose spinal injury causes phantom pain.

I just had an idea , a very lovely awful idea. Lovely because it's really big brained.

Awful because I'm in the middle of writing an wip of an Au and the idea are multiplying like rabbits.

You know those crossover fics where two of the three (Jason, Danny, and Percy) are brothers or twins. And I just got a mad idea of them being triplets.

Born to Sally Estelle Jackson on August 18th.

And we know that Poseidon was around while Percy was a baby. And I remember reading a PJO x DC crossover fic in which that Jason and Percy were twin brothers separated at birth in Gotham General, and Jason was switched with the still born child of Shelia Haywood, who was buried as Jason Jackson. This would be the same concept except that Jason and Danny get the switch with a still born via magic and for well intentioned and shitty reasons by Poiseidon. He has assistance with pulling off the heist from Clockwork who understands this was the only method to have all three grow up alive and healthy and of course they had separate fates to fulfill. And if they were going to grow up together they would have been a very dangerous force to reckon with.

(Danny's being dying at 14 and ends up becoming Ghost King, or well the Crown Prince of the Infinite Realms,

Jason's being dying at 15 and eventually becoming the long awaited host of the All-blades and also becoming Robin

Percy being the child of prophecy the one that would save Olympus)

Of all the possibilities, all three had the fate of dying together were they to stay together..so this was the best choice. Maybe not the right choice but best choice for those odds

So off goes baby number one to Gotham , baby number two to Illinois, and baby number three gets to stay New York. The two still born babes are put in their place by said assistants ,two observerants who Clockwork had under his thumb. The labor was an ordeal three boys that are not meant to live, Sally nearly dies giving birth to them ,and she's not fully conscious during the period the swap happens. So Jason gets switched and given his name by Sheila,

Danny gets switched and get given his name by Maddie.

While Sally who was not told by Poseidon of his plan that he came up with to ensure that the prophecy that was given to him about all three brothers before they were born would not come true- you know that phrase self-fulling prophecy when you try to defy the destiny you have and by doing so you fulfill it? Yeah. Anyway she's told that Danny and Jason died a few moments out of the womb after being born , but Percy didn't.

Amity Parks ectoplasmic vibe and Ecto contamination, created some sort of barrier against monsters.

Gothams , gothamness and title as a place forsaken by the gods keeps it monster free.

And because I love angst we have Bad parents Jack and Maddie - oh they love their kids , but live and care are very two very different things that have a lot of crossovers. And Danny was practically raised by his little sister who suspected he wasn't her full blooded sister but didn't care about that, she wasn't alone and that mattered. And neglect is a form of abuse.

And Jason gets raised by Willis and Catherine and yeah his childhood isn't good.

Neither is Percys at least untill he's twelve that's how it is.

And they live apart until Danny needs to hide from the GIW and the Drs Fenton at age fifteen. All he does is have Jasmine drops off a heavily injured Danny at the address she's was given ,to give a letter from Clock work confessing his sins and the truth of Daniels identity. He does tell Sally in the letter about

(for this au Paul Blofis is Poiseidon.

And I think Sally does know that he's Poseidon. Or at least least suspects)

It's safe to say that Sally suspected that Poseidon did something, her suspicions are confirmed when she gets the letter that tells her everythimg she needs to know and she gets everything ready to have her chat with Paul Blofis/ Poseidon; two words - well four words shotgun and celestial bronze bullets)

So yeah all Percy knows is that when Danny shows up , his mom has broken up with her boyfriend / fiancé, and that there's another child of prophecy living in his house apparently he has two full blooded brothers, one is dead - this happens a few months after Jason Todd is legally dead, and one is curled up in pain, bleeding from injuries on his couch. because of the whole Ectoplasm in his blood and the whole half dead and half alive thing kind of masks the Demi-god scent that a child of the Big Three creates as explained in the letter, he can be safe to heal in the apartment until he's better; but knowing he's more in danger front he GIW Sally requests an audience with Dionysus and Chiron and for the year becomes a volunteer counselor in exchange for sanctuary for Danny. All she does is hand over the letter Clock work wrote for her to Dionysus and Chiron in lieu of an explanation

Chiron lets him in because he remembers 3, 000 years ago training a scrawny fourteen year old alongside Hercules; who he took a poisonous arrow for. And the letter is magicked changing its contents telling Chiron he was sent to be trained on how to be a hero for guidance.

Even through it's not how it's done , they allow Danny to room in the big house until the Ambrosia heals him up. Four days in Danny wakes up in the big house while being nursed by Sally. Percy drops by the camp from his boarding school to visit both his mom and new brother who adjusts to Camp-Half Blood , Percy, Sally and befriends the rest of the campers. And although Sally knows about him being a halfa she doesnt know how Danny died , or why he ended up with a suspicious Y-shaped scar on his chest. All she knows is that he was more in danger from the US government.

And Sally debated on showing the letter to Percy until settling to do so. And Percy decides to be a better brother to Danny than he was to Tyson in the beginning. ( He assumes because of how small and malnourished looking Danny is that he's his younger brother.) Sally doesnt tell him how it happened, only Chiron and Dionysus knows of Poseidon's tempering; she just found out a about it. And shes hurt. Betrayed and just heartbroken you know?

(it'll take a while for her to forgive him and even longer for her to give him a second chance)

And Danny takes his time opening up to Percy and Sally and befriends the various houses of Camp Half-Blood. While worrying about his sister, his friends.

Sally looks after him and inadvertently becomes camp mom. She eventually leaves Danny there for work once hes healed up , but always comes back to help out around camp and tires to give these kids as much of a taste of normalcy as possible.

Course there are those that are suspicious of Danny. They are on the brink

However Danny finds the letter and learns about having a third brother and so decides to go looking for his ghost in the infinite realms. And he's seen Wulf creating portals before so he practice's it in a part of the forest the desonda grove , and out of sight of the other campers. The practice portals accidentally dump him in the Labyrinth so up until the summer of that year he explores the ladryrith. He assumes that they all know about it so he kinda maps it on breaks and on nights his insomnia kicks in.

Now h doesnt get claimed by Poseidon, he still has to do a display of his powers to get claimed. Percy knows that he's Poseidons son, and so does Chiron and Dionysus, but the rest of the campers doesnt. So he's in the Hermes cabin.

It's not until during the Battle of the Labyrinth that Danny manages to not only flood but destroy the Labyrinth in an epic level earthquake because someone manages to harm one of his friends (he definitely befriends Castor and Pollux because hess a star lover and the Gemini constellation is his favorite) he saves him in time with the display that because he's boosted by ectoplasm is far stronger than any thing Percy is able to concoct and awounand extra bonus he freezes the flood water as well , basically bringing the battle field to a literal freeze.

It takes a lot out of him and causes him to pass out and while he's half way drowning int eh mud the everyone including Percy witnesses the Trident over his head. It's not like anyone can move or break the ice because it's ghost ice , unbreakable and possibly won't freeze or suffocate anyone to death in 20 minutes, and by the time he wakes up Nico had arrived with his undead army. So Danny goes around a unfreezing his allies and apologizing profusely, taking out the still frozen monsters and tying up the half blood intruders with Nicos help. Of course someine gets a lucky swing in and sends Danny's head flying.

I like the head cannon that death for Danny any death that isn't from old age in his human form is nothing but a temporary inconvenience.

So instead of like Danny's body dropping down limp after blood burst forth from his neck his disembodied head lets out a sigh.

"Ah. this is not going to be easy to explain." He says half muffled in the mud, "Now someone hand my head to my body , I only got five minutes of consciousnes- stop screaming, I'm talking here, - I only got about five minutes of consciousness before I die. And trust me it takes hours, - can you please stop screaming? It's making my head ache."

Bruce does a double take when Danny walks in. His newest son was much more reserved than his other children. He didn't like having attention on himself- unless it was the popular kids at school but Bruce thought that was just something every teenager went through.

Danny spent most of his time locked away in his room, playing video games, writing for his blog, and watching documentaries about space. He was the most normal and well-behaved ward since Jason, and Jason was so grateful for being able to go to school that he used to ask to skip patrol to do homework. Danny had no interest in getting into the life of crime fighting, despite his previous ghost-fighting days.

He mostly stopped the ghosts from attacking because there was literally no one else in Amity Park who could handle the ghosts. In Gotham, however, there were plenty of heroes who were trained and on top of whatever issues were going on. Danny saw no reason to jump in, despite the Waynes each taking time out of their days to give him training in thier respective areas.

Jason and Alfred were happy to report Danny was one of the best shots in the household, while Damian and Cass both agreed his hand-to-hand combat was his weakest point. Duke and Bruce were the ones who helped him the most with his powers, which Danny preferred to use and were his strongest.

Despite all of this, Danny only jumped in as Phantom if it was an all-hands-on-deck or a last-resort situation. He would rather live as a civilian, which was a huge load off of Bruce's and Dick's shoulders. His eldest had turned many young people away from the cape life, but he never managed to get his own siblings to agree. Danny was his first success story.

"Oh honey, as far as we're concerned you're our flesh and blood!" His mom was quick to reassure him, "Though legally speaking... yes."

Danny frowned as he read through and reread the papers, trying to reconcile the information found there with the story he'd been told. A story about a younger version of his parents, who'd had his sister and decided they were ready for another child but were struggling.

After multiple failed attempts, they sought out a fertility specialist and learned that their years of exposure to hazardous materials had compromised their ability to have children. The fact that Jazz was born first try and without complications was a miracle. A long series of medical records and doctors notes showed all the tests they went through trying to find another way to conceive, culminating in a positive test result for Maddie's ability to carry to term. With renewed hope, they began to research IVF treatments and donors. Unfortunately, they couldn't afford both an egg and sperm donor as they hadn't yet found someone willing to invest in their patents. Not willing to give up, Maddie took to browsing online forums for advice from people who had been in her position. It was there she learned that, similar to organ donors, people who have their embryos frozen can sign a consent form allowing their stored embryos to be donated in the event of their death. This was the lead they were waiting for.

Another couple who had also been struggling to conceive had six embryos prepared and were successful on the fourth attempt, leaving two behind when they passed away. Having signed the consent form, those two embryos had been kept in stasis waiting to be donated. With a confirmation that they were compatible, the Fentons wasted no time in setting up an appointment. The first didn't take but the second did. They took every precaution during the pregnancy, this leading their decision to start wearing hazmat suits even while outside the lab, and nine months later the Fentons were welcoming their second child to the family. At this point in telling the story, Danny had been handed two matching documents; the donor profiles the clinic had given his parents all those years ago. There were no pictures, and information like surname and address had been redacted out of privacy, but they held the health screenings and physical descriptions of a couple named Thomas and Martha. 

"Nothing has to change Danny," His mother stated, "We love you so much and are so proud of you, biological child or not."

"That's right Dann-o!" His father jumped in, "The only difference is that now you know." 

Danny looked at his parents, then to the documents, then back to his parents before asking, "So why are you telling me this now?"

"It was never something we meant to keep from you. And now that you're sixteen, we felt it was the right time," His dad said.

"And," His mom added, "We felt that, if you wanted to have a relationship with your biological family, you should have the chance to find them." She then placed a box on the table, an AncestryDNA kit. "We never had any means of contact to let them know you were born and services like this didn't exist back then. It's okay if you don't want to, but we felt you should have the option."

Danny studied the kit before nodding to himself with determination. "No matter what some DNA kit has to say, you're my parents. You've been there for me my entire life, I'm not going to replace you with some strangers who share blood with me. But.. I would like to know them."

Secure in his decision, he proceeded to complete the DNA collection and send out the test with help from his parents. In a little over a month he would receive his results. He was nervous to find out if he had grandparents or siblings but, a little selfishly, relieved that he wouldn't have to worry about meeting his biological parents. He knows he's old enough that a court would let him choose where he ended up but he doesn't want to think about what would have happened if his bio parents were alive and decided they wanted to fight for custody. That just made him feel guilty though. He should feel sorrow for the parents he never got to meet, and he does, but if they had lived, would they ever have gone back for him? Would they eventually have decided they wanted another child or would he never have been born, forever in stasis as the world went on without him? 

He shoved those thoughts away, not wanting to dwell on them. He doesn't need to worry about 'what if's, they didn't happen after all. This is how his life played out and he wouldn't trade it, his family, and his friends for anything. Now he just has the opportunity to add some new people to that group. Until then, it's back to his normal routine while anxiously awaiting his results.

Later, in a cave in New Jersey far below the surface, an alert would flash on a high tech computer. 

NEW DNA MATCH - 2 CONNECTIONS

Bruce Wayne - Brother 

Random Classmate looking at Danny: ....

Danny: He said "I'm not gonna lie, I'm confused as hell"

Random Classmate: Ohhhhh! Okay, so we got to lock in for this project. We can't afford to lose any aura points over this.

Damian looking at Danny: ....

Danny: She said, "We must put our utmost focus on this project. Failure would bring great shame upon us"

Damian: You do a wonderful job translating the common folk language.

Danny: Er, thanks? I'm glad I can help with something. Group projects are never my forte, and I always feel bad that I don't do an equal amount of work.

Damian: I have noticed your participation in group projects before. You are not contributing because you are not trying. It's due to your groupmates' exclusion and isolation of you.

Danny: Yeah, well, I'm poor and dumb. I only got accepted into Gotham Academy because my godfather pulled some strings. No one wants me around.

Damian cupping Danny's face: Never leave my side. I shall protect you in exchange for your translating abilities.

Danny: Um?????

Random Classmate: You guys gonna kiss? Cause Wayne might use fancy words, but even I understood he wants to rizz you up Fenton.

Danny: UM????

Damian tenderly: I have no knowledge of what rizz means. Enlightenment me, my dear.

Random Classmate hand over her chest: That's some Shakespearean shit right there.

Danny: ????????

Damian leaning in only a hair's breadth away from Danny's lips: Most Shakespeare plays end in tradgy.

Third time the charm?

You guys know those AUs where Damian and Danny are twins, know about each other, and prank the Batfamily by switching places?

Or maybe they pretend that Danny was always there, and "how could you forget about your other son/brother?! Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" deal?

Well

What if Danny couldn't stay in Amity anymore? What if he was forced to leave everything behind, leaving a family that he knew he loved, but couldn't say for sure they loved him back?

His twin was his last option, the first family that left him behind.

It was with delight that he found out that he had changed. The whole family was cautious at first, but quickly warmed up to him, and so did Danny.

He gave up the hero life, hoping to finally finish school and try to achieve his dream of becoming an astronaut!

And then, one morning, he woke up with everybody staring at him in the living room.

He looked around, confused.

"Morning?"

"...morning?" Tim answered him cautiouslly. Bruce stepped forward.

"Excuse me, could I ask you as to why you are in our house?"

Danny looked around in confusion.

"Shouldn't I be here? You've all been gone for a mission the past week, if you needed me somewhere, you've could've texted me dad"

Bruce's mouth thinned in a line and the silence stretches enough for Danny to understand.

"Oh... You don't..."

It's an awful sensation to suddenly feel your throat tighten up.

"You told me it was a timeline issue, you don't... "

And just like that, Danny found his third family leaving him behind.

Or

Dragon danny (there’s art too)

Danny comes to possess an amulet like Dorothea’s. Unfortunately, dragon blood comes from his fathers side of the family and being half ghost and in possession of the magic amulet reignites the dormant dragon blood in him turning him into a very real, very half dead dragon.

Right in front of his family.

Even taking off the amulet doesn’t reverse it.

Unfortunately now being both human, ghost and a dragon sets his emotions off which then make his powers go haywire.

Danny fears their reaction and flees into the ghost zone. Only for his powers to get stronger there and for the realms themselves to spit him out into the first dimension that could handle him.

He lands in Gotham, disoriented, lost and afraid. Of course it’s not Gotham unless someone nefarious gets their hands on him.

Months later a new drug hits the market called dragons fury. It enhances a person's magical capabilities and carries a great high but comes with many unpredictable and volatile drawbacks.

Batman and Robin team up with Constantine after finding out that the drug is made with actual dragon's blood. Given the fact that a dragon hasn’t been spotted in the world in a few centuries and each one that had is very powerful. It shouldnt be in drug dealers hands, even if it’s just the blood and not an actual dragon.

Batman and John are speaking to Commissioner Gordon one night while Robin(Damien) patrols close by. Damien comes apon a drug deal and goes to intercept when he notices the target drug being exchanged. Unfortunately the dealer in a magic user and knocks Damien out. Instead of being smart and leaving the user takes Damien back to where they are operating thinking they can use him as leverage.

Damien is somewhat awake by the time he’s being dragged inside a forgotten building and the arguing about what to do with him begins. He can’t get his body to move just yet due to what the magic user used on him and he’s only barely starting to get his feeling back when the group decides what to do with him.

They decided to feed him to the dragon. Confirming the existence of an actual dragon.

Damien is tossed into a concrete cell in the basement of the building. It’s dark and he can’t move to turn on night vision in his mask. yet he can just make out the shape of the walls and the door and the man standing in the way of the dim light coming from the hall behind him. Shadows cover the man’s face obscuring his identity.

The dark and shadows don’t conceal the sound of snapping leather or deep bellowing growls. The sound like a crocodile bellowing mixed with the vicious snarl of a big predatory cat.

From the ceiling drops a dark mass. Body fluid yet coiled and stiff, ready to snap and attack. Not at the prone body laying behind it but the much larger one standing at the door. Teeth barred and poised to attack. Leathery wings spread as far as they could in the tiny cell.

The door slams shut when the long and fluid body lunges. Leaving the beast to slam its weight against it, clawing and snarling before settling with a snort of air. Folding its large wings behind its long body.

It’s hard to see now with the room in almost complete darkness. Light coming through the cracks between the door and its clawed at and scratched frame. That darkness does nothing to hide when the animal turns its attention to Damien.

Wide, toxic green eyes with vertical pupils land on him, if the magic wasn’t still freezing him then those dangerous eyes may have.

Its body moves like a ribbon flowing through the wind. Fluid, smooth and elegant. Scales darker than the room are nestled in fur equally as dark, only broken up by a mane of shockingly white fur that trails down its long neck, between alternating shoulder blades and down the dragon's long body, ending in a puff of fur at the end of its whip-like tail.

It stops in front of Damien lowering its narrow head close to his. Cold breath ghosts over him along with strong whiskers.

Dangerously close yet it doesn’t attack. Instead the dragon seems to check him over for a moment before settling next to him. Putting itself between Damien and the door.

The dragon wasn’t going to attack him it seemed, now all he had to do was wait till he could move so he can escape with his newly acquired friend.

….There was a specific vision when drawing this, but I dont think I managed to relay it much— for instance, I kinda wanted to add the ‘blood’ like my Ghost hunger fanart. But then it just looked too much. So Im doing the “less is more”

Uhh.. I hope you like it?

And thanks too~!!! Im glad my work can brighten your day ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

By the way, for those who are seeing this, the prompt link is alr in the ask it self, just click the one that is underlined. Now… time to ramble—

DUDE, THE PROMPT IS JUST… CHEFS KISS*** Im not a fan of angst, but like, this can just be the right amount to make it bittersweet and still have a happy end? (This is my delusion. Im a sucker for happy endings, so shush) . So here's my take on the prompt DoM route;

So the idea here is as such;

Previous Part

The Conversation. P2

“How did you meet your clone?”

“What?” He turned his face to peek back at Danny. “Don’t you know that already?”

“I’ve heard everyone else's recounting of it. I wanna hear yours.”

Clark felt his tongue go heavy in his mouth, and he returned his sight to the floor. He had tried not to think about it. Not that that had been any successful, his mind kept circling back to it, but he had tried nonetheless. Silence stretched between them and Clark felt ridiculous for not starting to talk. It’s not like it had really been a big event. Nothing had happened to Clark. All he did was meet a kid.

Years later, Danny, ID untold to everyone but his team, Jazz, and Valerie, figures he should reconnect with family, since he went awol for a while doing ghost duty stuff.

He quite literally drops in at Bruce’s house, and wow yeah now he remembers why Vlad’s flaunting paired with his horrible taste in everything always had him unimpressed, besides the obvious of course. And Bruce has adopted a kid. Huh. Feisty little guy.

Danny does try to keep in more contact after that, but still ends up dropping in sporadically throughout the years.

Featuring: At one point after Jason gets back from the League, Danny just straight up grabs him and dips. He never actually met Jason when he was living with Bruce, so he doesn’t even realize that a) this is his, they’re going with the term nephew. And b) that Bruce is now looking for his un-dead estrangled son. Danny is going to get this strangely not-dead child some medical attention.

With treatment and explanations actually going strangely smoothly, and Jason set up for actually scheduled doctor appointments, Danny takes him back to the mortal world and offers to take him all the way home. Jason accepts, and Danny is faced with the realization that he kidnapped his nephew when he watches invisibly as Jason walks up to his cousin’s house and immediately gets tackled by a sobbing Dick and Bruce’s newest kid Tim.

Later on in the plot, Bruce does end up going through time and Tim gets estrangled from the family and goes searching for him. He’s midway through his plan when his Uncle Danny shows up by literally picking him up by his jacket, and they both end up staring at each other directly outside of the League of Assassins’ base, Tim breaking out and Danny breaking in.

DP x DC Prompt (picked up AC Black Flag, the sea shanties inspired me for this one)

The entire DC world knows of the historical figure known as Captain Nightingale. The youngest pirate captain to ever live, as the stories tell that he was just a teenager when he began to earn the respect of adult piretes with his combat skills and his magic. Captain Nightingale had the largest navy to exist during the time of his reign.

Captain Nightingale was a boy who had pure white hair and tanned skin. His pirate outfit was mostly black with white accents and an amulet around his neck that is said to guide him to whatever he desires, yet the hear didn't seem to bother him. And he remained looking like a teenage boy for decades before he just vanished, leaving his ship, his sword, his outfit, and his amulet behind.

The "artifacts" of Captain Nightingale's reign have been scattered in the modern era of the DC world. Ra's Al Ghul has the entire outfit of Captain Nightingale, Ra's Al Ghul himself, has lost many times to the young Captain after it was decided that the pirate Captain would become a problem to them. Lex Luthor is the current owner of Captain Nightingale's ship, having used all of his devious methods to obtain it. Selina Kyle had stolen Captain Nightingale's amulet from a museum across the seas before arriving in Gotham. The Wayne family has the Sword of Captain Nightingale, as it is rumored that the Wayne's of that time were somehow part of Captain Nightingale's crew.

Danny, sent to the DC world on a vacation because of overworking himself on his Ghost King duties, learns about his other vacation as a Pirate Captain through a Lex Luthor funded tour about his ship, the Sagittarius, on display like a trophy.

Danny debates whether he should rally his crew again or remain a normal person. His debate is interrupted by a sticky note appearing on his forehead that reads:

"Try not to kill anyone, My King

C.W."

It looks like Captain Nightingale is going to make a dramatic reappearance into the living world after all.

The Justice League is looking for a mysterious thief that has been stealing the artifacts of Captain Nightingale. They learned of the artifacts going missing through Batman, as Catwoman complained to him about the Amulet of the Pirate Captain she stole was now stolen from her. Then Batman learned from Talia that the outfit of Captain Nightingale was stolen from her father's personal treasury. The sword of Captain Nightingale was just recently stolen from Wayne Manor, and only the ship remains, which Lex Luthor us doing all he can to prevent it from being taken.

The Justice League needs to catch this thief to stop them, as they learned from Constantine that the artifacts could be used in a ritual due to their strong magical affinities.

The Justice League had rushed to Lex Luthor's museum, where they caught the "thief" in the act of stealing the ship of Captain Nightingale. A teenage boy wearing the outfit, which looks to be a perfect fit, of the Captain, sword hanging off the hip of the "thief," and the Amulet glowing brightly while hanging off the neck of the "thief." But it's when the "thief" turns around to face them as he's climbing the ships side that shocks them. It's the spitting image of Captain Nightingale that looks at them.

"Ahoy there, landlubbers! I am ashamed that my personal property has been kept as far apart from each other for so long. Didn't none of you respect others' property?"

The ship began to float as the boy got closer to the steering wheel of the ship.

"I've come to teach you all a lesson for disrespecting the dead, but I won't be doing it alone"

The boy had grabbed the sword from his hip and raised it high.

"Rise from the grave, me hearties!"

The ship of Captain Nightingale began to be filled with undead pirates, all looking at the Justice League. Then, right before the ship had flown away, they all heard the boy, no, Captain Nightingale himself, say:

When his parents got invited into Gotham and they took him with them, he hadn't expected anything exciting. Sure Gotham was known to be crime central, and had several psychos on their own, but it was mostly humans.

There shouldn't have been that many ghosts in Gotham, it was quite far from the nearest gate into the ghost zone. So how was there this many around the same family?

They were clinging to them, like they were trying to claw away at their skin and get inside, wailing lowly while floating around them.

The worst of them was the famous airhead Bruce Wayne. The shadows clung to him, and the ghosts the most vicious, they would wail whenever he laughed, claw at him when he joked and keen when he smiled.

The others weren't much better, the ghosts hovered around them, shifted sometimes from one to the other sibling, but would cry, keen, wail and scream when they moved effortlessly in the crowd around them.

The shadows clung most to the previously pronounced dead second oldest. There was almost a green hazy hugging his entire body, but it felt terribly angry.

The same with the youngest, newest member and only biological son, Damian Wayne. The ghosts around him didn't cling helplessly, they looked like they were trying to slice open his skin with their bare hands and they felt so so angry.

The others were much the same, the ones with the most, the middle children, Timothy Drake and Cassandra Cain. The ghosts weren't as angry, but instead sad and grieving.

The oldest child, Richard Grayson's ghosts were quiet, crying and keening silently while they clutched onto the shadows of his being. Like they were calling out to him, becoming distressed when he couldn't preserve them.

The only ones with basically none, was the new ward of the family Duke Thomas, and the known family friends Barbara Gordon and Stephanie Brown. The shadows were dark, the least with Duke and Stephanie, but the ghosts still lingered.

How was this family still able to laugh this easily. Even normal people should be able to feel this level of vengeful energy. It should feel like the world was pushing in on them, the body turning lethargic even after hours of rest and one's emotions will turn more volatile.

"Danny, you alright?" His father's sudden question brought him back. He tore his eyes away from the family at the center of attention.

"Yea, I'm just gonna go find some more finger food."

He slowly began weaving his way through the room.

Idk, whatever it is, its long, I got carried away.

Danny has lived through many earth cycles(meaning Earth dies off and reforms over and over again). Because he's a halfa, he has to interact with the living world to some extent, meaning hes experienced every single Earth since his own.

In this new Earth, Danny stumbles upon Crime Alley, and buys a big building near the cemetery, and starts fixing it up, just so he has something to do.

During a really bad storm, two street kids are able to sneak in through an unfixed window to escape the rain, only to jump when they realize the building's owner is also in the building. They don't recognize him, and get really nervous, but before they can run, Danny starts fretting over them, pulling towels, and blankets out of his pocket dimension*. The children stand petrified as Danny flies over them, using the towels to dry them off before wrapping them in the blankets and picking them up. Danny moves them further into the building where its safer and further from the windows. He apologizes about not having clothes for them, but he could aquire some if they wanted to. As hes rambling at them he gathers some food and plops it in their laps, its mostly prepackaged stuff. The children are suspicious, but they're not going to turn down warmth and free food. After eating Danny encourages them to sleep, one kid sleeps while the other stays up to make sure nothing bad happens, and after a few hours they switch off. Danny is unbothered by this, and falls asleep in the opposite corner, unphased by the cold. The next morning, the storm has passed, Danny feeds the kids again, and the kids leave.

News travels fast, especially among the street kids, and some kids decide to check out the rumors, some sneaking into the building, others just knocking on the door. Danny always happily welcomes them in, and feeds them, offering them clothes or shoes or jackets or medical supplies/treatment, whatever they need, he gave one girl a kitten plush just because she had called it cute. A few kids test him, they'll break something to see if Danny would get mad, or ask if he wants payment, or they offer him this substance or that. Danny, they quickly find out, is really expressive and easy to read. If they break something, he just laughs about it and makes sure they didn't get hurt before he starts fixing it. But when they offer him payment, or substances, his face just falls, his brows scrunch, and his lips dip like they just shot his puppy, and he very firmly tells them no, his "payment" is them having at least having one form of comfort, be it food, or just a place to get out the rain. And well, the kids believe him.

Danny's building becomes one of their safe havens, if they get hurt or cant find or buy food, they go to him. Once Danny gets the doors and windows all replaced, and get some rooms set up, he even starts letting kids crash there, some kids have to bunch together, since the building isn't finished, but at least they all have a bed. Danny even starts to keeps coloring books and toys around, and even keeps menstrual products in stock in case they're needed.

Most kids don't stay for long, couple hours to a few nights, but some kids, especially the very young ones, have more or less moves into Danny's building, spending most if not all their time there, and Danny just doesn't care, he welcomes them with open arms.

A lot of the time, Danny is working on the building, trying to fix up the other floors to add more bedrooms, but hes also in the kitchen a lot. Once he got the kitchen working, he started cooking actual meals, he still kept prepackaged stuff to send off with the kids or as snacks, but he also made a lot of yummy soups and stews, and pastas, somehow he made veggitables taste good without having to hide them! When he wasing cooking or fixing, he was with the kids, playing games of pretend or patching up injuries, or sewing up torn seems. He very freely used his powers, and would happily fly the kids around, making them giggle loudly, or he'd make ice sculptures of whatever the children wanted, and the ice never melted. If anyone needed him, he'd drop whatever he was doing to go to them, all with a kind smile on his face. It was a feeling none of the children had felt in a long time, if at all, being able to rely on an adult who wanted nothing in return other than their happiness.

Its not that the children didn't think Danny was dangerous, they knew he could be, they'd seen it a few times. The most memorable was when a no name gang was trying to make a name for themselves and tried to break into the building. The children all huddled away from the door, or had run upstairs to hide. At first, Danny tried to talk the men down and convince them to leave, but that obviously didn't work and one of the men pointed a gun at the children. Danny had gone very still, and the room dropped in temperature, Danny's smile, always so warm, contorted into something sinister as his black hair flashed white, and blue eyes slited green. A low growl rumbled, and before the men could react, Danny punched the nearest one in the face, spitting and hissing and crackling as the lights flashed and flickered over head. The men shivered and cowered away, trying to shoot at him, but even as the bullets hit their target, Danny didn't even flinch, until he finally threw the men, a tangle of limbs and blood and stuttered pleas, out of the building with a final horrible screech, followed by the door slamming. Just as fast as the white hair, twisted smile, and green eyes appeared, they faded back into black and blue. Danny turned towards the kids, guilt and worry on his face as he started to apologize if he scared them, but before he could even finish, the kids ran towards him, saying he was so cool, almost as cool as Red Hood!

So yes, they knew, Danny could be scary, but he'd only ever been scary to protect them. That's why the kids made a vow never to mention him to any of the Bats or Birds. Danny was obviously a meta or maybe even from another planet, he was something, but he was good, kind, and he didn't need the Bats or Birds breathing down his neck. There was still a debate going if Red Hood should be told, but it was unanimously decided that no one else could know.
