Danny didn't think that falling through a natural portal would result in him stumbling upon a cult. Or that said cult currently was busy with "punishing" a small five year old child.

Really there was only one thing he could do and accidental kidnapping usually happened to him as the kidnapee not the kidnapper.

Well, there was a first time for everything. Taking the small child with him into the infinite realms may have been a panic reaction, and he may have accidentally summoned Frostbite to check over the boy.

Thankfully the kid, Damian he said his name was, was liminal and fine with healing in Danny's castle before Danny would bring him to his father. According to Damian his father didn't like the cult ("It's the league of assasins... not a cult.")

To be honest he was very much out of depth and so very confused when he had to find his way to the crime ridden city of Gotham and then somehow get the attention of the bat vigilante. Batman was tall and very much as scary as a ghost.

Damian looked out from under King Phantom's cloak of stars and galaxies and took in the person who was said to be his father.

"You are shorter than I thought..."

"Hn." Damian turned to look up at the being that had helped him heal and taken care of him for the last two months.

"I have decided. King Phantom shall be my father from now on!" Damian proceeded to hide back behind the being and into the spacious cloak.

"Uhm... I don't think that's how that works bud." King Phantom said, he was interrupted by laughter. Glancing past the being Damian saw Batman and Robin, as well as Nightwing, the last two were laughing while Batman looked slumped.

"I have decided King Phantom is my father, so he is!"

"This is gold!" Nightwing was now struggling to stand up straight.

"I... uh... I'm not sure what to do in this situation?" King Phantom said, Damian leaned forward a bit to glare at him.

"Take me back to your castle father!" Nightwing seemed to struggle with breathing, he was now wheezing.

Danny would like to say for the record that he wasn't prepared for these things! Somehow that strange situation ended with him in the batmobile on the way to the batcave so that Damian would hopefully want to stay with his actual father.

Damian would be the “rich kid” in the heroes and villains world.

His mom? Daughter of Demon’s head, the lead assassin of LoA

His bio dad? Batman, millionaire, The Dark Knight and also the Prince of Gotham

His other dad? A fvcking Ghost King of Infinity Realms.

Castle? All of his parents have castles. Phantom even have dozens of them in different styles, from ancient to gamer styles.

Treasure? From earth to sky, from living world to after life, he only needs to ask

Weapons? From blades, guns, to magical or Kryptonite, he wants it, he got it

Batman grounds him and forbids him from patrolling ? He just need to call his other dad to sneak him out. Some time his brother would pay him to help if they also been grounded.

Could say that Damian is living his life in the most fabulous ways

Recently, Damian has some thing to worry about. His best friend, Jon, is also call his Danny Dad. Well, he understands it, Danny is awesome. But it is seems like Jon’s dad also want to share his custody with Danny. Is it a prove that Clark gonna combat with Bruce to win Danny’s heart? Danny will love Damian despite everything but if Clark win Danny over Bruce? People will say that Superman has win against Batman.

The only right answers are either a trisome (DannyxBrucexClark) or Damian win Jon over before Clark win over Danny (+ possibly Bruce)

Fun AU idea for Miraculous

So like…. Miraculous, but small. I thought, what if Master Fu was trying to make power ups without the grimoir and accidentally did something that age locked all the miraculous, making it so that they can only be used by elementary schoolers? (All except the Turtle, cuz he was wearing it.) I know, it makes no sense, but like….

Miraculous. But small. Really I just wanted Manon as Ladybug. And just the idea of Marinette as the Turtle running around and trying to coral all these little kids with superpowers while trying to fight Akkumas is just… really really funny to me. So yeah—you’ve got Chris as the cat and Alya’s twin sisters as the Fox and the Bee. And that’s the ida. :)

Hmm, this got the idea wheel spinning.

What if, instead of an accidental age lock, you add a rule to the Miraculous where they can only be removed willingly or by defeating the wielder (so no snatching the Miraculous before the child can react). Then, for whatever reason, Fu loses four of the Miraculous and they're found by the children. And because Fu doesn't want to beat up children and they won't give them up, he decides to give a Miraculous to their usual babysitter to watch over them.

And then, Hawkmoth doesn't show up for a while, Gabriel not yet learning about the wish-granting powers of the Ladybug and Cat. So, the children spend their time with the Miraculous goofing around, helping people, using them for self-gain and then learning responsibility, etc. And Marinette runs after them to clean up their messes and protect them when they get in over their heads.

Then Hawkmoth shows up and the children handle things for a while so that you've got the hilarity of the villain losing to little children, unable to plan for a child's way of thinking (he thinks that they'll do X, only for them to do Y because it's funnier), and getting increasingly frustrated with his losses. Then, Hawkmoth can either go after the children himself and get absolutely clowned on by them and Marinette (you don't want to mess with the babysitter). Or the children can realise that being Superheroes isn't fun anymore with how Hawkmoth keeps cutting into the time for the things they enjoy and other inconveniences, and willingly give them up. To add some extra comedy, instead of just giving up their Miraculous to Fu or Marinette to give to Fu, the children choose their own successors. Nino gets the Cat, Alya gets the Fox or the Bee, maybe Adrien still gets one by virtue of being Nino's friend, and Marinette gets the Ladybug. Or if you want to add some drama, one of the children gives up their Miraculous to Lila, falling for the false persona they put up. So, now you have four heroes who are slightly more equipped to fight a villain, but there's also a rouge anti-hero running around, using her powers for self-gain and helping out whichever side suits her. For extra drama, Lila could get the Ladybug instead of Marinette, which would provide a handy reason for why Lila doesn't constantly side with Hawkmoth, since her Miraculous is one of the ones he wants.

The idea Is cool but if I had to Guess Who get a Miraculus based on the Kids choise.

Manon sincerally She would give Her Miraculus to Marinette so here you can make It so that Mari Try give One of the two Miraculus back to Fu, and he Will choose Someone new that she doesn't know (if that the case i think that It would be funny if Fu gave the returned Miraculus to Adrien)

Ella or Etta would give their Miraculus to Alya and either Nora (Anansi) or (if they are already dating and the Twin meet Him) Nino.

Chris would probably fall for Lila charm and (Maybe similar to the Canon Finale) Will give his Miraculus to Her.

So if this goes like i Just explained we would have:

Alya: Fox or Bee

Nino/Nora: Fox or Bee (the One Alya doesn't have)

Marinette: Ladybug or Turtle

Adrien: Ladybug or Turtle (the One Marinette give back to Fu)

Lila: Black Cat

That give Lila the ability of choosing to side with Hackmock and still let the Hero fix the damage!

The 4 (in my opinion) Best possibility are:

1) Ladybug Adrien, Cat Lila, Nino Fox, Alya Bee and Marinette Turtle: Because Marinette already know how to best use the Turtle (and it make so that Paris trust Her more because they Remember Her from the Kids Heroes) Lila has the ability to switch side each Battle without the risk of permanent damage, and a comb (Bee) Is more "Easy" to Hide on a girl, while a neckless Is "normal" for both girls and Boys.

2) Ladybug Marinette, Cat Lila, Alya Fox, Nino Bee and Adrien Turtle: because Is the most similar to Canon while also not going against the "Kids Logic".

3) Ladybug Marinette, Cat Lila, Alya Fox, Nora Bee and Adrien Turtle: Nora can punch Someone and put Them K.O. (I mean Nora use "Venom" to paralise Them)

4) Ladybug Adrien, Cat Lila, Alya Fox, Nora Bee and Marinette Turtle: This Is my favorite because It get EVERYTHING; Trusted by Paris Hero Marinette, Switch Side Lila, Nora punch KO villains.

Also there Is still the possibility that Fu doesn't choose Adrien so you can change Him with Who you want (Just Need to make sure it's not One of the other One chosen by the Kids)

Also Also there Is the possibility that Chris doesn't choose Lila and instead he gave It to Nino making It so that we have:

Marinette and Adrien*: Ladybug and Turtle

Alya and Nora: Bee and Fox

Nino: Black Cat

*or Someone else

DCxDp idea.

Danny does Science

Danny is a chemist who posts videos online of random experiments he does. Each video is a little unhinged, he says some out of pocket stuff and the editing is gold. (I’m thinking like NileRed on YouTube but mix it with that funny cooking guy from TT)

He does all of his experiments in his parent’s lab when they aren’t using it.

Most of the videos are educational, entertaining and just an interesting watch. Giving how he explains the components, process and uses of each and every experiment he does.

Sure every now and then he gets shot at or attacked by automated weapons or the giant doors open behind him to show off a swirling void of green that comes with ungodly sounds. And yeah maybe his science comes to life when he isn’t looking and tries to ambush him from behind.

But it’s still educational. Just very interestingly educational.

(I have a vision. Here it is.)

The video starts with a lab devoid of any occupants. The main focus of the frame is a metal table stacked with papers, tools and beakers and bottles of unidentified and unlabeled chemicals.

Behind the table is the rest of the lab viewers have come to love. Industrial metal plating bolted to walls, tools and equipment lying around on more tables and counters. A controlled chaos that the channel owner seems to know like the back of his hand.

Then the channel owner comes into view. Walking to be behind the table dressed in a simple pair a star themed pajamas with a lab coat thrown over top.

“Hello everyone.” He greets cheerfully, placing a clay looking statue on the table that’s between himself and the camera.

“This is a priceless artifact made out of clay.” He gestured to the small statue in front of him. “It may or may not be cursed by a ghost.” He then puts on nitrile gloves and grabs a Blow torch from a storage space beneath the table.

“Either way, let’s destroy it.” He lights the torch and starts holding the flame to the figure. In human screeching can be heard from some muffled place.

Tim: Watching this video for the First time on -69 hours of sleep

Tim: Huh? Maybe I should go to bed?

Time skip to when Tim finally wake up After sleeping~

*find the video*

Tim: IT WASN'T A DREAM?!!??

Danny: Omg! It's you! I'm a huge fan of your work!

Kiteman: What? Really?

Danny: Yeah! Do you know how cool it is to meet someone who flies and rarely attacks civilians? I broke the Riddler's knee caps in your honor! Can I have your autograph?

Kiteman: Of course! Would you like a picture, too?

Danny: WOULD I!?

Bruce watching from a rooftop: Everyone move in on Kiteman once he finishes the meet and greet with his fan.

Damian: Why wait? He's completely distracted. This be the optimal time to take Kiteman down.

Bruce: I am not ruining this moment for him.

Damian: Why?

Bruce: The man's main weapon is a tribute to his dead son that Riddler killed. A kite. The last person to be as excited for his kites was said, son.

Damian: .....We shall wait.

Tim on com: Why wait when we have a perfect-

Damian: YOU LEAVE THAT MAN ALONE DRAKE LET HIM ENJOY THIS.

Duke: Are we just going to move on from the guy who said he broke the Riddler's knee caps?

Bruce: The question mark bitch had it coming.

Ok I'm gonna break everyone Heart >:3

Danny, High (Ghost) King of the Infinity Realm find out about Kite Man from his son, Who became a Realm Ghost.

Kite Jr isn't strong enought to go visit his dad.

But luckly he became friend with Phantom, Who live in the same reality and, and After Kite Jr talked about their Dad for like 3 hours?, Phantom decide to meet Kite Man, get an autograph from his new Idol and then Try to get Him to come to the Infinite Realm so he can talk with Kite Jr!

When you're a villain but not evil, it just makes you a troublemaker.

Everything is all fine in Amity Park and it's all no thanks to the Justice League. Danny still felt a bit resentful about being one of the many to call for help to the JL, but was dismissed as a prankcaller. Even going as far as to blacklist him and some others who kept on trying to call for help.

In between talking to some of the ghosts in the realm and pondering about the JL, he just got a brilliant idea.

Why not be a villain? He didn't mean anything like killing or anything, but as long as you're on the other side of the law, anything goes, right? It could be as much as jaywalking or something, but no. This was something that was tame. HE WAS GOING TO BE PUBLIC MENACE NUMBER 1!

His plan was to disturb Batman, just as a petty move. For how long? Until he was bored.

Other than that, there was another goal. According to some of the ghosts he talked to, Joker was an attention seeker for Batman's affection, so what better way than to disturb Joker by disrupting Batman to pay attention to Dario the Plumber rather than the Joker?

Tucker was going to help with the technological aspects while Sam was looking for a target. None of them wants to do anything evil, but being public menaces? That's a dream come true for teenagers!

He flew over with his Sam and Tucker to support Gotham and was equipped with a small phone and an earphone to talk with them. On his chest, it was just a D—not DP anymore.

He held still as Sam drew a moustache with her eyeliner on his face.

"Done!" She said, capping her eyeliner before stepping back to look at her handiwork at his appearance. Dressed in a cap that had a D, a white shirt, with a black overall.

Yes, it is he! Dario, the Plumber!

Danny uses Mario's typical skillset. Tucker has made it so that the soundtrack for the jump effect will be heard whenever he jumps. He also has the cap from the Super Mario Odessey, but it's actually a modified Booo-merang, so it will always come back to him no matter what.

Sam is the one who plans who to attack. She hates the businesses that destroy the environment, and thanks to her background, she knows what business they are planning to start up next and knows how damaging it will be to the environment with their sketchy phrasing, so she tells Danny who to disrupt and where.

Tucker and Sam dress as Toads to indicate that they are his personal minions. Sam is a purple Toad, while Tucker is just putting on the normal red one

So imagine seeing a dude kick a dog on the street, and then a fake Mario and some Toads come up to beat them like this.

Dario increases his destruction that now the Daddy Bat came out rather than his kids, and now is entirely concentrated on him. When news broke out that Joker had escaped prison, between Joker and Dario, who would Batman chose?

Sam, Tucker, and Danny were all waiting in anticipation, and when Batman ended up delegating Joker to the Robins, the three of them cheered because they got the goal that they wanted: for Joker not to have his wishes of having Daddy Bat's attention on him.

Tucker monitored Joker's reactions online, screenshotting the ones he thought had the best faces. Of course, that was going to be shown later once Sam and Danny came back because he had no muscle, so he's the chair dude now.

As Mario could go through pipes, Danny would shapeshift to fit into pipes and travel that way.

The audio of Mario losing a life would sound out if Danny took a hit, and Danny knew that he had to pretend to lose his life. So he flickered in and out with invisibility and disappeared through the floor, only reappearing through a nearby pipe once more, complete with sound effect. This made the Bats weary of where he could appear.

Then, the most annoying of them all was the hilarious thing that the three of them could think of. Dario spoke in a bad Italian accent. Then Sam followed up with the screeching sound of the Toad's voice.

It irritated many people so much that it almost made Dario break character, especially with Tucker laughing behind the mic. Sam accompanied him on the scene, so she also had to hold in the laughter.

Joker was pissed off and confronted Dario at one point, going to the point of threatening him. But Danny just told him that 'Dario seems to be more important and better at being a villain than the Joker was', which made the Joker lash out, but of course, Dario has many lives.

He just tied up the Joker and brought him to Arkham Asylum himself, encountering the Bats just as he was about to leave.

He looked at them, then at the wrench in his hand.

"I can fix it!"

One of the bats (or maybe some) immediately started shouting at him that's a different franchise.

It left Danny feeling satisfied at annoying them so hard.

Even Better if when he get bored of only being in Gotham he goes to other city so he can prank the other Heroes!!!

When you're a villain but not evil, it just makes you a troublemaker.

Everything is all fine in Amity Park and it's all no thanks to the Justice League. Danny still felt a bit resentful about being one of the many to call for help to the JL, but was dismissed as a prankcaller. Even going as far as to blacklist him and some others who kept on trying to call for help.

Yes, it is he! Dario, the Plumber!

Eventually One of Them Is so DONE WITH DARIO THE PLUMER that they ASK HIM WHY HE'S DOING IT! And Dario(Danny) Just break character a Little to Say (in a bad italian accent) "You should have answer our call for help, now we're gonna make you pay"

I'm gonna be real I don't think anyone is ever gonna figure out Danny Phantom is living teenager Danny Fenton unless they see him transform. Because like. What the fuck is a half-ghost. Makes no fucking sense. If Danny Fenton is dead surely someone would have noticed by now.

What I think is more likely is that someone notices Danny Fenton bears a striking resemblance to Danny Phantom and delicately (or not so delicately) asks if he has an uncle or something who died young and that's why his parents are super into ghosts.

When Danny, eventually, Discover how to make Doubles/idk the right term/Clones he lean into It by "meeting" his "Uncle Phantom" in pubblic.

The Trio After this became the most populare people in Casper Hight, especially because all the A-lister love Phantom!

Child Vigilantes are Just That—Children

Dpxdc Prompt #65

Danny took a deep breath in before knocking on the door, just because the Waynes are influential does not mean child labor laws don't apply.

An elderly man in a suit answered, probably a butler—the Waynes were certainly rich enough for it.

"What is your purpose for visiting Wayne Manor?" A posh, British voice inquired.

Well, too late to go back now.

"I'm Danny Fenton from Child Protective Services and I'm here to investigate Bruce Wayne for violations of child endangerment and labor laws."

"Pardon?"

"Vigilante work is still work, sir, and it would do well for Batman to remember that before bringing his kid partner out during the night."

The most-likely-a-butler's eyes narrowed as he spoke evenly, "I do believe this is a conversation better had in the privacy of the Manor, would you care for a cup of tea Mr. Fenton?"

B: Listen Mr Fenton, I know that Vigilante Work Is still work but have you considered the other possibility?

DP: And that Is?

B: That if I didn't bring Them with me they are gonna go out ALONE, so I Just chose the less of the two evil.

*DP Remembering his own time as a baby Hero/teen vigilante, also Remembering his friend during that period of time..."

DP: Understandble have a good day! :)

Now that's just bad parenting. Danny didn't have an adult to tell him no (Jazz, Sam, and Tucker don't count).

It's called 'putting your foot down.'

@consouling

Half of me would Say that your correct BUT the other half of me Is thinking about the MILLIONS of fic/story where the Adult said NO but the Kids ignored Them and screamed YES! while jumping into danger :3

So...

part two previous / next

DPxDC prompt

Danny's family and friends are dead and as much as he wanted to he couldn't blame himself because he had nothing to to with there deaths.

Jack and Maddie died in a car accident; honestly, no one was surprised. The only surprise was that it took as long as it did for it to happen.

Jazz had gotten brain cancer, and it took her fast.

Tucker had a seizure in his sleep, and his parents woke up to him dead in his bed.

Sam was at a rally and tried to climb a monument, but she fell to her death. She had been told not to climb it, but in true Sam fashion, the more you tell her not to do it, the more she wants to.

Danny waited, but not one of them returned as a ghost clockwork simply confirmed it.

To avoid getting stuck with Vlad, Danny shuts down the portal and escapes into the ghost zone only to fall through another portal and landed on a table surrounded by people in costumes

Danny looks around at them. "Sorry, did I interrupt an adult slumber party or something?"

Batman was bored, really and truly bored. He already didn't care much for the Green Lanterns, but they called him in for a meeting that had nothing to do with Earth or any of their allies. Who cares that an alien pet species was defecating on one of the lantern asteroids. The fact that the poop was radioactive and toxic was beside the point. He would much rather be back in Gotham. But of course, none of this showed on his face because he is Batman.

Suddenly, all the alarms started to go off, as a Lazarus green portal opened above them and spit out a white-haired, green-eyed teenager in a hazmat suit.

"Who are you, and how did you get here?" Batman asks straight to the point

The boy looks at Batman with a grin that has way too many teeth. "Hi, I'm Danny. I fell through a portal. Who are you, and where am I?"

"I am Batman.."

"seriously isn't that a little on the nose "

"Hn. You are on the watch tower."

Danny nods his head. "Ok, how far away is that from Amity Park?"

Superman decided to cut in, "Is that on Earth?" Danny's duh look said it all: "I had to ask because you don't exactly scream human to me."

Danny then starts to float off the table and grins "Really... I had no idea what gave me away my hair my eyes my skin the fact that I don't have a pulse?"

Flash decides to speed in at that point "You don't have a pulse then how are you alive?"

"Who said I was?" Danny's eyes start to glow, and Batman notices the same look on his face that his children have when they are getting ready to play a prank. "Tell me, pajama boy, do you believe in ghost stories?"

Flash scoffs "Of course not there's no such thing as ghosts "

The lights start to flicker, the room darkens, and the temperature drops to the point that you can see your breath. Danny smiles, his face stretches, and his body starts forming inhuman shapes. "You best start believing in ghost stories... Cause you are in ONE!!!"

Batman smacks a hand over his face when he sees the horror on Flash's face. Whoever or what ever Danny is he is definitely a menace.

if any one wants to continue this they are more than welcome

And then Batman said f*ck It and adopted the Little Cosmic Horror

The End

Plot armor but it’s Bruce Wayne’s wealth.

Bruce is one of the richest men in the world. Bruce does not want to be one of the richest men in world.

He starts by implementing high starting salaries and full health care coverages for all levels at Wayne Enterprises. This in vastly improves retention and worker productivity, and WE profits soar. He increases PTO, grants generous parental and family leave, funds diversity initiatives, boosts salaries again. WE is ranked “#1 worker-friendly corporation”, and productively and profits soar again.

Ok, so clearly investing his workers isn’t the profit-destroying doomed strategy his peers claim it is. Bruce is going to keep doing it obviously (his next initiative is to ensure all part-time and contractors get the same benefits and pay as full time employees), but he is going to have to find a different way to dump his money.

But you know what else is supposed to be prohibitively expensive? Green and ethical initiatives. Yes, Bruce can do that. He creates and fund a 10 year plan to covert all Wayne facilities to renewable energy. He overhauls all factories to employ the best environmentally friendly practices and technologies. He cuts contracts with all suppliers that engage in unethical employment practices and pays for other to upgrade their equipment and facilities to meet WE’s new environmental and safety requirements. He spares no expense.

Yeah, Wayne Enterprises is so successful that they spin off an entire new business arm focused on helping other companies convert to environmentally friendly and safe practices like they did in an efficient, cost effective, successful way.

Admittedly, investing in his own company was probably never going to be the best way to get rid of his wealth. He slashes his own salary to a pittance (god knows he has more money than he could possibly know what to do with already) and keeps investing the profits back into the workers, and WE keeps responding with nearly terrifying success.

So WE is a no-go, and Bruce now has numerous angry billionaires on his back because they’ve been claiming all these measures he’s implementing are too expensive to justify for decades and they’re finding it a little hard to keep the wool over everyone’s eyes when Idiot Softheart Bruice Wayne has money spilling out his ears. BUT Bruce can invest in Gotham. That’ll go well, right?

Gotham’s infrastructure is the OSHA anti-Christ and even what little is up to code is constantly getting destroyed by Rogue attacks. Surely THAT will be a money sink.

Except the only non-corrupt employer in Gotham city is….Wayne Enterprises. Or contractors or companies or businesses that somehow, in some way or other, feed back to WE. Paying wholesale for improvement to Gotham’s infrastructure somehow increases WE’s profits.

Bruce funds a full system overhaul of Gotham hospital (it’s not his fault the best administrative system software is WE—he looked), he sets up foundations and trusts for shelters, free clinics, schools, meal plans, day care, literally anything he can think of.

Gotham continues to be a shithole. Bruce Wayne continues to be richer than god against his Batman-ingrained will.

Oh, and Bruice Wayne is no longer viewed as solely a spoiled idiot nepo baby. The public responds by investing in WE and anything else he owns, and stop doing this, please.

Bruce sets up a foundation to pay the college tuition of every Gotham citizen who applies. It’s so successful that within 10 years, donations from previous recipients more than cover incoming need, and Bruce can’t even donate to his own charity.

But by this time, Bruce has children. If he can’t get rid of his wealth, he can at least distribute it, right?

Except Dick Grayson absolutely refuses to receive any of his money, won’t touch his trust fund, and in fact has never been so successful and creative with his hacking skills as he is in dumping the money BACK on Bruce. Jason died and won’t legally resurrect to take his trust fund. Tim has his own inherited wealth, refuses to inherit more, and in fact happily joins forces with Dick to hack accounts and return whatever money he tries to give them. Cass has no concept of monetary wealth and gives him panicked, overwhelmed eyes whenever he so much as implies offering more than $100 at once. Damian is showing worrying signs of following in his precious Richard’s footsteps, and Babs barely allows him to fund tech for the Clocktower. At least Steph lets him pay for her tuition and uses his credit card to buy unholy amounts of Batburger. But that is hardly a drop in the ocean of Bruce’s wealth. And she won’t even accept a trust fund of only one million.

Jason wins for best-worst child though because he currently runs a very lucrative crime empire. And although he pours the vast, vast majority of his profits back into Crime Alley, whenever he gets a little too rich for his tastes, he dumps the money on Bruce. At this point, Bruce almost wishes he was being used for money laundering because then he’s at least not have the money.

So children—generous, kindhearted, stubborn till the day they die the little shits, children—are also out.

Bruce was funding the Justice League. But then finances were leaked, and the public had an outcry over one man holding so much sway over the world’s superheroes (nevermind Bruce is one of those superheroes—but the public can’t know that). So Bruce had to do some fancy PR trickery, concede to a policy of not receiving a majority of funds from one individual, and significantly decrease his contributions because no one could match his donations.

At his wits end, Bruce hires a team of accounts to search through every crinkle and crevice of tax law to find what loopholes or shortcuts can be avoided in order to pay his damn taxes to the MAX.

The results are horrifying. According to the strictest definition of the law, the government owes him money.

Bruce burns the report, buries any evidence as deeply as he can, and organizes a foundation to lobby for FAR higher taxation of the upper class.

All this, and Wayne Enterprises is happily chugging along, churning profit, expanding into new markets, growing in the stock market, and trying to force the credit and proportionate compensation on their increasingly horrified CEO.

Bruce Wayne is one of the richest men in the world. Bruce Wayne will never not be one of the richest men in the world.

But by GOD is he trying.

The batkids 100% know that Bruce hates being so rich, but they love Bruce and want to repay him for everything he's done for them, and since money and expensive gifts was Bruce's love language, its also become the batkids' love language.

Bruce has no one to blame but himself for how his feral children turned out.

what if Damian wasn’t sent to Bruce by Talia and instead decided to do a bit of early child-rebellion by running away to him himself. Talia, pissed off but too busy dealing with uprisings in the league to go track him down herself, calls up the person Damian is most likely to listen to other than her; his brother, who she trusts to keep him safe.

the thing is, Jason is 1: busy with his own missions atm 2: was also once a rebellious little asshole who liked to run away from home. he was Damian’s tutor once, he knows the kid can handle himself and he also knows if he CAN’T handle something he’ll contact Jason for help. he knows this because about a week before Talia called him, Damian called him.

so Jason tells Talia he’ll ‘keep an eye out for any leads’ and then goes back to his normal business. league missions, his own missions, some outlaw shit, and eventually he ends up crime lording it up in Gotham. he’s a little confused when Tim Drake is seen swinging around as Red Robin rather than just Robin, but he got over his obsession with the Robin shit a while ago, so he ignores it.

until he runs into Batman and Robin. and there isn’t a mask in the fucking world that could hide his kid brother’s face from him.

Bruce is all like:

Bruce: +1 child?

Robin: No Father that your second oldest come back from the Death.

Batman: *sad kitten face* So no new child?

Otherwise

Batman: Red Hood?

Red Hood *take of the helmet*

Batman: Jason The Red Hood!?!

Clockwork, using some time shenanigans, reincarnates Dan into Damien as a final test of whether he’s stable enough to no longer need contained. (After lots of therapy ofc.)

Damian’s life worked perfectly for this b/c he starts out with a lot of negative influences so it’s not easy to come back to the path of good.

Some years after he comes to live with the batfam and calms down a bit, someone who looks a lot like Bruce applies to become an engineer on the watch tower.

Dan/Damien decides that this is the perfect opportunity to get a little petty revenge on a 30-ish year old Danny for beating him on the first place.

Idea.

The BatFam notice how Danian treats the new engineer and how similar the engineer and Bruce’s looks are and start connecting dots.

Soon all the BatSib’s think that Danny is Damian’s secret aged up brother who was brought up as a deep cover agent and has infiltrated the Watch Tower to do something nefarious.

Now the BatSibs are waffling between “New Brother!” and “Huge Security Risk!” and can’t decide how to treat Danny.

Damian/Dan: He he I can get PAYBACK for when you beat me!

BatKids: New Brother or New problem?

Batman: I have the solution for both: ADOPTION!!

Danny *Just existing*: WTF? I Just wanted a job in ✨SPACE✨ 😿

DPxDC story where Danny is dating a batkid, it's funniest with Dick in my mind but it can be whoever, and he ends up drawing the very incorrect conclusion that batkid is cheating on him with their vigilante persona. He calls them out for it and batkid is frantically trying to convince him it's not true without revealing that they actually are the vigilante but is struggling because Danny actually has some really good points? And they can't just tell him because it's not just their secret, the entire family would be outed, but Danny is the best boyfriend they've ever had and they really don't want to lose him and the truth is probably the only thing that would be able to counter all of Danny's arguments.

Danny breaks up with him (I’m going with Dick) and he shows up that night to a family dinner.

“Remember that boyfriend all of you were fawning over and saying he might be the one? He just broke up with me because he thought I was cheating on him with Nightwing and the only way I could refute it was by revealing my identity and thus your’s as well. I guess I value my family’s secrets over the best thing to happen to me in years because he’s never going to want to talk to me again!”

Almost everyone goes to console Dick as best they can, trying (and failing) to tell him it’s going to be okay without outright telling Dick he did a good thing by ruining his relationship.

Damian stays back and most assume he’s having trouble emotionally processing the situation but no.

Once when Danny was staying at the manor and was helping Damian with his pets, Cujo burst through the wall and knocked Danny over. After explaining Cujo being a ghost dog and getting a good response regarding ghosts, on impulse Danny revealed being a halfa and ex vigilante.

Damian swore on his family’s name that he would never tell anyone.

But with the current predicament, now Damian has to somehow lead Danny and Dick to each other’s secrets without outright telling them the truth.

Ok this but Damian does It by SETTING THEM UP IN THEIR VIGILANTES IDENTITY!

So

Super Ghostly Farming

During their times exploring the infinite realms Sam had discovered ghost plants. And that the Fenton’s Ecto-dejecto makes them solid enough to grow in the mortal realm. The real surprise is that produce living seeds since they absorbed actual nutrient matter from the soil. No one is surprised she makes her mission to revive extinct species. Or that she accidentally mistook ghost plants from other universes as extinct plants to revive.

During this time Jazz found out about Dan and had Danny dig up the thermos so she can make sure the poor time displaced ghost can get some therapy. Danny was both shocked and relieved the therapy actually managed to reform Dan. The real turning point is when Dan’s escape attempt led to a good reveal with Jack and Maddie. However since his timeline was impossible now he started destabilizing. It was only thanks to being fused with another secret clone project Vlad was working that he was saved though now he is a halfa instead of full ghost.

But of course things can’t all be good. Due to her suit and all the time fighting ghosts Valarie has become ecto contaminated enough that she is now coming up on the GIW’s sensors. This leads to Danny rescuing her from them and red huntress officially reconciling and joining team phantom.

The GIW are also becoming even worse of a problem. Their Ecto sensors are getting more accurate and they have begun traffic stops as a first measure to quarantine the town. Dani had been caught but thankfully Tucker had hacked the GIWs communications system a while ago. Danny rescued his clone but damage had already been done and she had to retreat into her core. It it the size of a ping pong ball and looks like a glowing Pearl. Danny keeps it in a little pouch with him so she can feed off of his ecto.

Loosing their catch to Phantom was the last straw for the GIW. The now plan to nuke the city. In preparation they have all the roads blocked off and are going door to door with ecto scanners. Anyone with a low enough contamination are given a day to pack one bag each and they will be bussed out the next morning. This who set off the scanners are taken to a holding cell in town.

Green sticky note suddenly appear appears before Danny telling him to pack and get his loved ones into the specter speeder and flee into the infinite realms for a natural portal to another universe. There is no stopping tragedy if they stay.

Danny passes the messages to Sam, Tucker, and Val by text. Jazz however was shopping with Dan in his human disguise when the text went out. And they had been spotted by GIW agent. Of course with the amount of Ecto signals Dan and Jazz gave off it was shoot first. Dan protected Jazz from the worst of the blasts and flew her home but he was severely injured and reverted to core.

Meanwhile Sam has gotten her go bag ready (with an ecto thermos full of ghost plants and a bag full of revived plant seeds). Tucker and Val are also packed but they take a little extra time to execute a plan he had for a while. Val stealthed into a GIW computer survey and inserted a drive giving Tucker wireless access which he used to upload a virus that would delete the entire copy and send all files and programs to his PDA and the delete the original system before crashing it. As soon as he got the files and the virus uploaded she unplugged the drive and went to the Rendezvous point. Unfortunately that took a little too much time and the GIW were at his house.

Tucker hears them talking to his parents downstairs and thinks fast. He hides his bag and PDA on the roof and text Valarie to pick it up for him and to have her and phantom come rescue him from the holding cells down town he found from the files. Cause there was not enough time for them to get there because the GIW were breaking down his door . He just manages to smash his phone with a hammer so they wouldn’t know of the text before the GIW are in the room with their scanner screeching.

Danny was helping his parents get the speeder loaded up with his family’s and s Sam’s luggage, when Val arrives with her and Ticker’s stuff. He is in ghost form and flying the to the holding cells before she is finished explaining. Interesting Danny’s family, Sam, Tucker, Val and Vlad are the only ones contaminated enough that it would set off the sensors so Tucker and Vlad are the only prisoners there. The fight is only against robots and automated guns and won’t long but it is now morning and all the civilians and GIW agents are being bussed out of the danger zone.

Danny is opening Tucker’s cell and Val is getting Vlad out When there is a flash of light and sticky note.

“I will try to slow time down enough for you to get back to the realms, but the missile is laced with ectoplasm and I can’t stop it completely. Hurry.”

Danny’s time medallion makes him immune so he grabs his two friends and vlad and flies them to Fenton works watching as the missile in the sky is flying towards them at a pace he may barely outrun.

He gets to the ready speeder in the basement aimed at the portal and sees a very concentrated Clockwork holding his staff aloft with a bright purple glow. They pile in and zoom into the portal with Clockwork right behind them they just clear it into the ghost zone when there is a large blast behind them propelling them forward. And suddenly the hole in the realms is now closed. Danny exits the speeder and pulls Clockwork’s glitchy fading form in.

“I can reform from my core in my lair. ButI must see the infinity map.” Danny pulls out the map and hands it to the shaky ghost he marks two locations. One is his lair the Long Now, and the other seemed random. Then he shrunk into what looked like a golden gear with a round purple gem inside.

Danny made sure he put Clockwork’s core into the lair. The places seemed to be one single room with a pillow on a stand in the center. Very different from the maze of clocks and gears from the last time he was there. He placed the gear on the pillow and thanked clockwork even if he wasn’t sure he could hear him. When he left her doors automatically closed behind and chained themselves shut.

The second location was a natural portal to another universe. Danny guessed that was going to be their new home. But it was rapidly getting smaller. They flew the speeder through it soared over a lake and small forest before coming to a crash landing in a field on the Forrest edge. They get out and see road sign that says “Smallville ahead. Five miles.”

——————

Ok that is the most of the set up. Of course they landed in the Smallville area. Sam was smart and also stole some of the gold bullion her parents had and didn’t know she had the safe code. That is enough for them to buy a house and a few acres. She insisted on land to grow her revived plants. A lot of this plants I am basing on the Berries from the pokemon games and can be eaten and sold.
