The “insane” twin

The Fentons found about Danny being Phantom and… it could have gone worse?

They don’t hate him. He’s not in any danger of being vivisected or having his adoption annulled. However, they’ve convinced themselves that he’s not actually a ghost; clearly he must be just a Meta with ghost-like powers and delusions of being dead!

So now he’s spending time in a psychiatric institute. Oh joy.

Well, at least they aren’t shooting at him?

…And of course this is when his twin brother Damian finds out he’s alive and comes to see him. While he’s in the looney bin.

Great.

:P Hello plot bunnies my old friend

Danny was quite done with the entirety of his current situation.

The alarms blarred loadly. A siren starts only to be cut off by manic laughter and screaming.

Like seriously. He could walk out of this place without ghost powers and the only reason he hasn't is because he needed to wait for Jazz to turn 18 and start the whole lawsuit process of child endangerment against their parents.

Which means she'll become his primary guardian because even without their home situation, who puts a 16 year old kid in arkham?

Sure the reason he is in Arkham is because it's the ONLY place that would lockup and put a meta restricting collar on a minor WITHOUT AN OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS.

To his parents, his insanity was clear as day. Why wait for a doctor to tell them what they already know? Why bother testing to see if he has the meta gene at all?

So meta collar and Arkham. Not that the collar actually does anything because he's NOT A META.

Danny turned his head from staring at the ceilling to watch a group of guards charge by his OPEN cell door.

None of them stopped to close it and lock it again.

No ghost powers. 5 minutes tops.

He went back to staring at the ceilling.

The plan is two more weeks. Jazz will turn 18 in a week and get a small townhouse that will be fully paid off via Sam's grandma as a birthday present (Grandma Ida is the best and has apparently been down to get Danny out of his house even before Sam filled her in). The extra week will allow Jazz to move in and get that student job that's been itching to hire her for the past year which means by the time she submits the guardianship paperwork and lawsuit she'll be a working adult with a paid off house fully capable of taking on her little brother, especially compared to her parents.

In the meantime he needs to be a model intake patient (more like inmate because Arkham but who cares) so that his parents have absolutely nothing to use in defense of their choices.

The alarms stop ringing in his ears, the third breakout of this week is finally over. Clanging doors and complaintes can be heard down the hall.

Guess no major losses this time.

Danny turns on his side to watch his door.

Ancients, he hopes it's a Bat instead of a guard this time. He is desprate for some form of entertainment, and at this point, the entertainment from messing with his Bio dad's (and in turn his bio brother's) family sounds like the perfect time killer.

He waits.

As the figure steps into view Danny smiles a manic sort of smile, a glimpse of fangs showing for a brief moment.

Seems his brother has come to visit him in the loony bin.

GREAT.

Finally some prime entertainment.

"Hey Brother", Danny's smile widens as he sees the recognition show on Damian's mask-covered face, "long time no see. How's the last 10 years been treating you?"

Damian stared at his not-dead twin, unimpressed.

"Of course you would end up here," he said, hiding his shaking hand by clutching the cell door harder. "How fitting. Farewell then, it is good to see you where you belong."

"Wait, no, hold up-"

Damian slammed the cell door shut, ignoring the yelling in his comm, and turned to walk away.

"Come on, you can't just walk away!"

"And yet, I am doing just that."

"Is this because of the shoe thing? I bet it's because of the shoe thing."

Damian paused.

Visions of shoes on fire, launched towards Grandfather's head, flashed through his mind. He shook off the memory with a shudder.

"I'd forgotten that actually," Damian said, turning back to the cell.

"...Forgotten what? Nothing happened. I was making shit up." Danyal rambled, backing away from the door.

Damian stopped in front of it, looked Danyal dead in the eyes (as well as he could through his mask), and punched himself in the face.

"Why?!"

"Oh dear," Damian said, ignoring the blood gushing out of his broken nose. "It appears that the Arkham Patient in cell...21, I believe? It appears that he is belligerent. How pitiful."

"You bitch."

"He will need a stronger cell."

"You vindictive بخيل خرق الناقة!"

"I will go inform the guards of this development."

Danyal shouted further curses at him, but Damian ignored him as he walked away.

First, he had to compartmentalize that his dead brother wasn't dead.

Second, he had to get him back for faking his death.

Third, he really did need to get revenge for the shoe thing.

Oops. Damian, not even knowing anything about Danny's situation, managed to do perhaps the only thing he could have to really fuck things up for him. Because now, even though Danny didn't actually do it - they'll certainly believe Robin over a patient, - there's going to be a blemish on his record. Something the Fenton's can use against him and Jazz.

Danny: I had a clean record! I wasn’t even trying to escape! Robin just didn’t like my tone when I told him to fuck off outta my cell and decked me.

Board: hmmmm no clearly you are at fault

Danny: you know what? Fuck this shit *removes meta collar using ghost powers* I’m not a meta and I’m not cooperating any more. *walks straight through guards and out the door*

Meanwhile, the batfam have gone full on conspiracy theorists on everything they've found surrounding Danny's circumstances. "What do you mean he has no official diagnostic and was still admitted to Arkham, by his parents no less? What do you mean they gave no other explanation aside from the equivalent of 'trust me, bro'? What do you mean he hasn't even tried to escape at all? He obviously can, even if he didn't keep up to date on his league training."

Tim is still trying to stop around the media blackout that seems to exist everywhere in Amity park. Damian is calling his mother to yell at her for not telling him about his brother's continued existence. Bruce is torn between preparing adoption papers, suing the Fenton's for child endangerment, or just reclaiming his parental rights. Cass has taken to chill with his new brother whenever she's on patrol, mostly because no one else has noticed he left (let's say Arkham covered it up) and that's her new baby brother, she's not about to snitch on him.

*alternatively, imagine if instead of just revealing his hand, Danny made a duplicate and let it melt in front of everyone when they went to talk to him about the Robin incident. Now the bats are traumatized and grieving their brother, Danny's parents have not found out (they haven't bothered to check or answer any of the calls), Danny moved to Jazz's apartment in Gotham one week earlier than expected and Cass is still happy spending time with her new baby brother while everyone else focuses on the wrong details. At least Tim and Bruce's investigation has led them to find out about the anti-ecto acts and they're on the process to abolish(?) them and going against the giw with extreme prejudice. For Danny (who's perfectly fine and happy living with his sister as they'd planned).

Cant lose these @zealouswitchwerewolf and loving your idea:

At his hearing to determine wether he’ll be freed he puts on a distressed appearance - hasn’t let the bruise disappear in those couple of weeks - eyes sunken - hair lank - face grey as a corpse - and when he’s told he “won’t be leaving Arkham because of what Robin has testified, but maybe in a couple of months, as Bruce Wayne has taken interest in his case, he could be an out patient in Wayne’s care” he just goes, eyes watery trembling lips “I can’t - the cuffs have weakened me too much - I won’t make it that long, please just let me be with my sister” and just melts like candle wax in the seat as the first words of denial come at him; the panel sitting stunned - Bruce with his lawyer eyes bugging, white as a sheet - Jazz trying her best to put on a good show (Sam’s tutelage has helped but she’s not the best at acting)

[I want to believe that Danny hasn’t met Bruce and wasn’t privy to the knowledge that Bruce is Batman and therefore is his dad - and hasn’t paid any attention to where his brother is in the civilian realm (who didn’t even come to his hearing) hasn’t had any dots to connect on the matter though obviously he is aware that Robin is Damien]

Somewhere in the cave Damian sits in the shadows completely focused on the small screen in front of him. He seems to be reading one in several files of information on Daniel Fenton's case. He looks like he hasn't slept at all in the last four days. He also seems unaware of the time and his surroundings, his complexion getting paler the more he reads.

A green post-it note appears out of nowhere covering the screen and forcing him to look around. There's no one else in the cave. He wonders where everyone went. Usually he can spot at least one of his siblings nearby, they're nowhere to be seen. Maybe he missed patrol again? He supposes it doesn't matter much, they'll just come get him if it's something important.

He turns back to the note on his screen, he has no idea how it got there. The message is simple yet cryptic. It just says "play stupid games, win stupid prizes". His phone rings a few seconds later. He doesn't know what it's about but he can feel the dread crawling up his spine. Something's wrong.

Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous

dcxdp fic idea

Sam's parents weren't monsters. Rich, fairly entitled, and short sighted sure. but they weren't monsters. And they loved their daughter. and had grown to be fond of her friends. Sam had been so lonely before the three had found each other. of course the two boys who had brought their Samantha out of her shell had a special place in their hearts. For all they wished she would find companions of a higher breed. For all they didn't like them.

They just wanted what was best for their daughter.

And Amity Park wasn't what was best for her.

They tried to get her to leave.

Baited her with schools and summer programs and oppurtunities abroad.

She wouldn't go. Didnt want to abandon her friends.

And they had contracts keeping them in town for another 5 years yet. So they couldn't even move and force her to come with them.

And how they hated her friends for that. How they hated the Fenton boy especially. And his parents. With every ghost attack. and police state. and school closing. and run of property damage. They got a little more scared and a little more angry and a lot more desperate.

And then they saw Phantom get shot out of the sky.

Saw the way he protected their daughter.

Heard him cry out for his mother.

And realized.

That was a dead child.

One who had to have died in unimaginable pain.

Who could have stayed away. Could have let their daughter die.

But didnt.

They knew what they had to do.

They shmoozed.

They rubbed elbows.

They made large donations and backroom deals.

They started getting invites to exclusive events all over the country.

They gave interviews.

Got their names in all the right places.

Finally. Finally. The time came. They finally got into the right event. Finally got themselves in the middle of a rogue attack. Finally got face time with just the right person.

"We don't have a lot of time. We're the Manson's. We're from a town called Amity Park. You wouldn't have heard of it. It's not on any map. But we need your help. Amity needs your help."

Sometimes Diana regrets not having a secret identity, but when she came to Earth it had been as herself, no strings attached. The world knows her as both Diana Prince(ss), Ambassador to Themyscria and Wonder Woman, Justice League founder.

She's not sure which part of her the Manson's need. Maybe both. Maybe anything they can get. The woman's grip on her hand is desperate.

"Please," the woman says, even while a crash sounds from behind Diana. There's a fight she's ignoring, but she trusts her fellow heroes.

The man's eyes aren't focused on the rogue. He's watching a blad man in a white suit, calmly wiped cocktail sauce off his lapel.

Diana pulls the couple under a table, the white table cloth serving as a shield.

"Okay," she tells the Manson's. "Tell me what you need."

The woman hands her a flashdrive, even as she dives into her story. "Amity Park is haunted. Ghosts keep coming through a portal, attacking the town. A dead child has been protecting us. He needs help. And, and..." She looks at her husband.

Diana looks too, and Mr. Manson holds up his phone's flashlight. When he shines it on his eyes, they reflect like a cat's, only green.

"And the portal is changing us, slowly. We're worried what that means with the anti ecto-acts proposed by the government."

"The GIW, Guys in White, already have a directive over ghosts, but the acts are broader and seem targeted at Amity Park. We don't know what to do."

The sounds of a fight have stopped. Diana sticks the flashdrive in her bodice and cups Mrs. Manson's hand. "You were very brave to tell me. I'll take care of it."

"Thank you," the woman breathes, shoulders sagging. She grabs her husband's hand and they crawl out from the table. Diana waits a moment, then exits from the other side.

The guy in the white suit watches the Manson's until they are out of sight.

Diana presses a hand to her chest. She'll take their information to the Watchtower. She'll enlist her friends.

This is a problem for Wonder Woman and the ambassador side of her - Diana welcomes it.

Excuse you, where's part 2? Cause I desperately need it. 👀

The fact that the clones of superman were made without his consent was a violation of him. The clones themselves are innocent of this and the blame lies with the person who did the cloning.

I also believe that it is not right to force someone to be a parent. You get some very bad parents in trying to do that and it just hurts everyone involved.

Superman is not wrong for not wanting to be a parent to Kon, but he needs to communicate that clearly so that an actual parenting situation for Kon (and any other clones) can be set up.

Also someone needs to go after Lex for child support.

Agreed. He clearly still needs the therapy though. One, so he can divorce the other victims from the crime. Two, so he can deal with the violation of his rights and bodily autonomy etc.

The next time Lex and Superman are fighting, Dani shows up out of nowhere.

She slaps Lex and screams "pay your fucking child support", before dropping a bone on his head. It's full of a breakdown of costs of raising a Kryptonian clone, and a bank account where he needs to send the money to.

Lex goes after the bank account, hoping to figure out a secret identity through it, only to find out that it was set up by Phantom himself 'in trust for Kryptonian children of Lex'. Damn. He was hoping someone had been sloppy, but it had to be set up by the guy who doesn't have a secret identity - why would the dead even need one?

Kon being whisked away by the Phantom's, he is so confused. Um, question, what the fuck?

Danny: Well, since your template needs distance and therapy. And you need some sort of family structure?

Ellie: We decided to adopts you into our family!! Not everyone can be like my template after all!!

Danny: I genuinely don't think I was capable of reacting badly to you. Vlad kept you in a basement for six months, and threatened to kill you if you didn't do what he said. Good you he'd love you only if you hurt me. Like, damn. He made a person with my DNA sure, but you were the real victim!

Clark comes back after a month of therapy and is ready to try getting to know Kon. He's talked through his fears of Cadmus and their potential plans, as well as his anxiety over being able to care for the boy properly, and is ready to attempt some sort of relationship.

Fortunately for him, Kon has been with the Phantoms this whole time. He has experienced unconditional love and acceptance and has started figuring out who he is as a person, outside of the programming. He agreed to let Martian Manhunter take a look through his mind a fortnight back, and they removed those pesky implanted triggers and thoughts, so he is able to feel confident that his mind is his own now.

Kon comes to the meeting not expecting instant love and acceptance, but someone who is willing to try to get to know him. Clark is able to agree to that easily, and they exchange phone numbers and emails.

Over the course of the next 6 months, they begin to form a brotherly relationship. Clark is able to help him get control over his powers as they emerge, and Kon helps him just by being who he is. There is less of a lonely ache now, because Clark is no longer the last son of Krypton.

This, of course, is completely detailed after they take their first flight around Metropolis together, when Ma calls him. She's very unimpressed that she has had to find out about another Super by the news, of all things! Clark hurriedly assures her that he'll bring his brother over as soon as possible.

Now, he's deeply regretting everything. Kon brought Phantom, and Ma brought out the photo books. She's telling embarrassing childhood stories! This is definitely going to come back to haunt him, and Phantom is not going to be subtle about it.

DPXDC prompt: Spiritual Siblings

Bruce: My assassin kid can't be that normal!

Damian: Well, I’m completely emotionally stable by Amity Park standards. The problem is with you. Obviously.

~~~~~

Damian had long found peace and home in Amity, so he did not worry that the new family and Gotham might not accept him.

Sure, Al Ghul had lived without any contact with his biological father all these years but he could safely say that he had a happy childhood. First years were hard and he was raised more as a weapon than a human being. Even so, after that a ghost who decided to become his brother appeared and everything changed.

Damian still does not know what Ra's owes Phantom but Danny has a right to take him, without prior notification, to live with Fentons, to visit Aunt Alicia at her farm, and to make Vlad’s weekends much less calm and boring. Danny jokes that he just steals him as a hostage when Al Ghul does not pay taxes for using Lazarus Pits. Whatever the reason, he already has a family that loves him.

However, he still wanted to make an effort to fit in this one too. The model of conduct certainly was his older brother. No, not the oldest, of course. To be honest Dan wasn’t the kind of a man that could charm you from the first minute. But Danny, in Damian’s experience, had a calming effect on people. So he tried to act like him.

And, yeah, for lack of experience, he was more fun!Danny at home and super!Danny on patrol but he also really tried not to get any of his own assassin personality in his new-self and was tired of it. He couldn’t get a 100% match. Fine. Still doesn’t look like anyone in this house really likes him, so whatever.

Damian understood why Bruce didn't like his company. Jazz had long ago explained to him the importance of voluntary consent. His mother did a terrible thing. Al Ghul was not a child and therefore he was ready to admit it. However, he also understood that children were not responsible for the actions of their parents.

As a biosocial being, he wanted to be more than just a painful reminder of what had happened to Bruce. Wayne's ignoring of his existence was rude. But Damian wouldn't force this man to spend time with him just because he was legally obligated to take care of his well-being. He wasn't going to prove anything to Batman, and he definitely didn't need his attention. The care of his real family is enough.

But Damian really tried to get along with new potential siblings. He even shared Sam's and Danny’s special jokes with some of adopted kids 'cause he didn’t want them to feel like he put himself above them. He wasn't good at showing emotions but he was as open as the assassin could afford to be to strangers.

But they all obviously expected something from him. And it reminded him of the League in an unpleasant way. It was easier with Fentons. Almost everyone in Amity Park was saying what they thought, and Damian didn’t have to waste time decoding potential conspiracies.

Damian missed movie marathon nights with Sam, Tucker, and Danny. And he hoped Dani had time to bother Vlad in his absence.

It was so weird here. When Danny and Valerie were fighting, they would gather at the dinner table anyway. When Damian wanted to have combat training with Drake here, he was forced to stay in his room. A very strange punishment. And undeserved one too.

Al Ghul felt quite calm and fine sitting at his easel and painting the people he left behind. An unusual subject for his paintings. But, Ancients, he missed Amity.

He missed Jack's bone breaking hugs, Maddie's Ecto-Contaminated food, arguments of Sam and Tucker, cozy art class with Mr. Baxter and even Vlad's done look. He missed Danny telling him about the stars. He also missed sword practice with Dan's boyfriend Fright Knight and he missed Dan's stories about his other youth. He missed literary evenings with Mr. Lancer, Clockwork and Ghost Writer. He even missed the hours-long Jazz lectures. He missed the dance of death and life. He missed being looked at without expecting anything from him. He missed the crowd. In the league, he was never at one with himself and in Amity he was always surrounded by people who were not afraid of his fate as the heir to the said League. This Manor was full of people, but for the first time in his life he felt lonely. Damian has to admit that he felt left behind. Of course, he understood that people needed time to build relationships, but he could have sworn that even he didn't need that much time to connect with Fentons. Maybe this is one of the tricks of the Clockwork? Then this one is not funny at all.

~~~~~Phone call~~~~ Damian: Mom, I want to go home. Maddie: I'm so sorry to hear that, sweetheart. What happened? Damian: Just…Nobody likes me. Why was I sent here? I'm not weak. And my brothers are quite capable of protecting me from Raas. I don't need Batman for this. Maddie: We'll figure it out, champ. Moms love you, remember? I'll talk to Talia, okay? Your brothers and sisters are already on edge and ready to steal you right during the patrol. Damian: It would be nice, but it would put a bat on their tails. So lock them in thermoses if they bother you too much. Maddie: But that won't stop Jazz. Damian: I missed the part where that's my problem. Maddie: Well, it will be your problem if she comes to your doorstep with your childhood photos and moralizing.

~~~~~~~~

It's his birthday. And he was always excited about it. But now, looking at the pile of gifts, he realizes that these people don't know him at all.

And this is the family of the best detective in the world? Maybe yes, but none of them bothered to really find info about him or ask him about his likes. Damian's a stranger here, and that's obvious.

The lunch container, which he will obviously give to the Boxing Lunch when he's in the right time interval, tennis rackets that Youngblood might like, The Graveyard Book…

Valerie had already read it to him and Dani before it was published. Thanks to Clockwork for his little miracles. The book reminded him of home.

Obviously this one is from Jason. And well, Damian doesn't think it was a pun on his life in Amity, more like Hood's inside joke about death but Dami will definitely leave this thing in the room at the Manor and maybe take it with him to the GZ or Amity Park.

~~~~~~~

When they gather at the festive table, Damian realizes that he has to make some kind of speech. He tries to be as brief as possible in his report.

Damian: Todd, your gift is appreciated. And I found a potential use for items that were given by others, Bruce.

Damian never called Batman his father. With Maddie and Talia, calling both moms wasn't weird, especially when Jazz explained to his biological mom that he wasn't trying to replace her. But with Wayne, it was different. Both women took care of him, they deserved this title. Wayne provided for his needs, but his core heart didn't feel like they were close. Surely there's nothing wrong if they're just Bruce and Damian? Obviously, they both don't enjoy each other's company.

Jason: So, do you like books, little demon? Damian: Sometimes reading is quite relaxing, I should point out. I'm not indifferent to Stephen King and Lovecraft. Jason: Personal recommendations? Damian: Cujo is one of my favorites. Jason: Not a common opinion, huh. Damian: It reminds me of my family. Damian tries to smile like Danny does, but Jason's twitching eye clearly indicates that he screwed it up.

~~~~Dick and Jason synchronously drop their forks as an excuse for a conference under the table.~~~~ Dick*whispers*: How's the situation? Jason*whispers back*: If the boy asks for a dog, don't be fooled. He will be happy to dance on our graves.

~~~~Cass knocks over their heads, urging them to return to their seats.~~~~

Damian: So how good you are at fading and sliding,Todd? Jason: Why did you ask? I can't, of course. Damian: Because you're dead. It seemed to me that this was a completely understandable interest. Jason: Wow, what a jerk. Damian: I wonder why your own incompetence makes me a jerk? Even my sister could do this when she wasn't dead for even a month.

Jason, for some reason, looks awkward, although he has never been embarrassed before by the idea that a girl could be stronger than him.

Jason: Your sister? How old was she when... So it's all about age. Damian rolls his eyes.

Damian: We're the same age. It seems like it was four or five years ago. To be honest, I don't remember. I wasn't around then. I'll ask Danielle the next time I go to the cemetery to visit her. Dick: I'm so sorry, Dami. Where is she buried? We can take you. Damian: There's no need. She has no grave, as there was nothing to bury. Bruce sighs loudly and covers his eyes with his hands. Damian: It's just easier to contact the afterlife in places like this, you now? Duke: We are very sorry, dude. Damian: Don't be. People come and go, and then come back if they haven't finished annoying you. There's no point in regretting the past. Her creation was not the most ethical thing but everything is going as it should. At least that's what Grandpa says. Considering that the old man is older than time, I prefer to believe him. No one plays with fate without his permission unless they want to get hit by the clock. Tim now looks like he's going to throw up and Damian hurries to move his plate closer to him. Jason: Yes, Bruce, this is definitely your son. Damian: Did I say something wrong? Dick smiles faintly at him but still doesn't find anything to say. Damian shrugs and goes back to eating asparagus. People outside of Amity are so weird.

Signal looks at Damian suspiciously as he carefully rearranges the plate of soy sausages away from himself. Did he take him for an idiot? Everyone knows that even vegetarian sausage bite and fight no worse than those with meat when they come back to life. It's not Damian's fault that he doesn't have an ectoblast with him and wants to have extra distance from the opponent.

~~~At the same time, in the walls of Wayne Manor~~~ Dani: The operation codenamed "Get Haunted Idiot" is declared open. Danny and Dan *salute*.

~~~Several Days Later~~~

Damian: So, this is Dan. Danny says we keep him as a GIW repeller. Dick: And Danny and Dan are.. Jazz: His brothers. I'm Jazz by the way. Elle and I are his sisters. Damian: I feat the criteria to participate in their name cut, so they took me. Dan, Danny, Dani and Dami. Dan *ruffles Damian's hair* : I prefer to call this biting threat Damn, to be honest. Dami: Shut up, DaNtE, they almost wrote Dark in your passport, you idiot. I can't believe I thought I missed you. Danny: Wow. Rude. Your grandpa would be disappointed. Great job, lil one.

~~~Several years later~~~

Danny Phantom

Written by Jazz Fenton

Danny Phantom was a story that built a generation of superheroes.

It’s the story of a young boy that had power thrust upon him and he rose to the challenge. Him and his friends worked hard to keep their town safe no matter how crazy things got.

He fought monsters and gods and even kings but still struggled to balance school and protecting the town. His sister did what she could to help but it wasn’t until after she learned the truth behind his identity that they were able to truly bond as a family.

The story end with Danny going off to college after closing the portal forever. He would go on to be an astronaut and fulfill his dreams.

Jazz wished it was true. She wrote the Danny Phantom books so there would be a record of what her brother had done. That in some small way he would never be forgotten.

When Clark learned about Conner, he panicked, unintentionally spurning the boy as he fled.

When he got home he did his best to calm down. Looking over he saw the collection of Danny Phantom books his mother gave him when he was a kid. Looking through the titles, one title popped out.

Seeing Double

He knew that book inside and out, in fact the carefree clone of phantom was one of his favorite characters. Her love for traveling made him fall in love with earth more than ever!

He read through the book once more, parts that barely registered when he was younger felt like a knife to the heart.

When he came across the part when Ellie started to destabilize he didn’t picture the spunky young ghost, in her place he saw superboy melting into goo and his heart dropped.

He wouldn’t let that happen.

After discussing things, the leaguers present at the award ceremony decide to keep things quiet and they begin their investigation.

It didn’t take long for them to discover the hidden signs of conspiracy, unfortunately for them it didn’t end with the government.

The GIW was founded at the behest of vandal Savage and Klarion as well as various other members of the light.

On the other side of the portal….

Added this on to show how Danny is handling things.

Spoiler alert!: not very well

Absolutely amazing 🤩🤩

Inspired by this great prompt and goes the other way.

Of which Danny goes to Reddit as Phantom.

Now, I dunno much about Reddit due to my country's default system is to ban the site (except if you use VPN or Apple products apparently?), but anyways.

One reckon that r/evilmonologue exists.

Danny-as-Phantom is certainly asking that if he's a bad villain (Am I a Bad Villain aka AIBV) since his "Heroes" (Red Huntress, Fenton couple, and GIW) doesn't allow him to do Evil Monologues at all, when even the weakest "Villain" would even has his "Beware Box" gimmick (tho he certainly wouldn't do anything so cringe).

Ofc it comes from: Yes, GhostNebula is a bad villain to: this kid is handed out such a bad life that he really mistakes "heroes" and "villains" of all things. You sure that the guys in white and ghost hunters are good guys?? to: Flash, get your villain. I think he'll be safer with you since he also got no body count, so surely he was a Flash rogue?

And ofc the heroes of JL (or others) will investigate for some reason or another.

R/evilmonologues

u/GhostNebula

Am I a bad villain because I don't make any Evil Monologues?

Okay, to start off, I (14m) am considered my city's "Main" villain (We have a lot of them, so we are all ranked by severity, I am ranked 1st), but I don't know if it's bad that I have never monologued. Even our lowest ranked villains have a gimmick they monologue about (As an example, we have a guy who rly likes boxes), but I don't have a gimmick or a monologue topic:(

Before you all get on me, I want to at least explain myself.

I have never attempted to monologue, but I am almost certain the local heroes wouldn't let me. There's a hero roughly my age (We'll call her Rh) who would probably maybe let me evil monologue to her, depending on how we are atm, but the others would most definitely NOT let me.

Rh and I normally have a kinda okayish relationship, since I usually deal with the other villains she doesn't deal with. If she doesn't bother me I usually won't bother her, we work together sometimes too, so she probably wouldn't care if I monologue at her. The issue is the others.

Other than Rh, the city has 2 scientists (late 40s F and late 40s M) who basically supply the city with weapons, and a government agency (Idk their name, but we call them The Guys in White) who are a NIGHTMARE TO DEAL WITH.

I am confident the scientists wouldn't give me enough time to evil monologue at them before trying to shoot me, and I wouldn't even bother thinking about doing it to the Guys in White, I'd be deader than dead.

All this is to say, I'm not in a good position to evil monologue at the moment, and I want to know: Does this make me a bad villain?

Tim just freaking the heck out. Along with every hero and villain that read Danny's post.

✨ most definitely! ✨

And I'm living for all of these great additions ✨💖

It's even worse when Danny's identity is revealed to everyone on the Reddit group when they realize that Danny Fenton, son of two ghost hunting scientists, is a dead ringer for Danny Phantom. No one's acting made the comment connecting the dots, so everyone thinks it's their own realization. Cause no one cares to risk this kid's life when they all accidentally got attached.

But one of the villains uploads Phantom saving people's lives and protecting Ghosts from Hunters. And starts on a rant about how the kid isn't even a villain! How the mad scientists are more villainous cause they cause property damage and shoot at everything, even normal humans!

Danny genuinely doesn't understand that this post was to shame him. He's so happy that someone sees him as not inherently evil. And that makes so many on the thread just view him as 'baby'.

Flash has never had so many villains @ his accounts, on all media platforms, to go save a kid.

Flash is so confused as to why his entire rogue gallery has each individually sent him a link to the exact same Redit post sign the comment “read the thread”. Like????

He still confusedly reads the post. Ok, kinda cute, a kid tryna be a little villain and asking if he’s bad at it, but then he scrolls down to the comments like they all instructed and he becomes slowly more and more horrified, wait, is that Red Robin? Not important, wtf is going on here?!

Gotham TikTok

AKA "Danny moves to Gotham and records TikToks with absolutely deranged captions. He films Get Ready with Me in Gotham videos, fit checks, and even A Day in the Life of a Ghost in Gotham! Except everybody is freaking the fuck out in the comments" prompt idea!

No, you don't understand, I'm obsessed. Like, what if Danny's idea of "safe" is just... anything that doesn't actively try to kill him? So Metropolitians, Star City, and Central City citizens are literally biting their nails and sweating bullets every time he posts, because what if he gets merc'd by the "Eight Heads in a Duffel Bag" Red Hood?? And that's one of the nicer villains in Gotham. And Danny's just like wow, this place is niiiiiice, I haven't even been murdered yet!

Maybe Jazz took a 12-year-old Danny to Gotham to escape their parents. Gotham's cheap, dirty, and doesn't ask questions: it's the best place to go to disappear because damn near half the city's population are either super villains, hostages, dead, or vigilantes. She gets a job at an understaffed hospital as a clinical psych intern. She enrolls Danny for online schooling because she's scared a public high school would be too easy for their parents to track.

Which leaves Danny alone for hours. He makes a TikTok account called "Danny Phantom" because, c'mon, he's a kid. And, like most kids, he doesn't really comprehend the idea of a digital footprint or that his account is public, accessible by literally anybody.

He's also a little shit. So, the first TikTok he uploads is of a man getting carjacked, but the caption reads: love to see people helping each other. remember it's always okay to ask for help! it's okay, I don't know how to parallel park, either :)

And you just see this guy in a mask shove a businessman away from his car, gesturing with his gun, before getting into the driver's seat. Except the car is parallel parked so the carjacker just slowly inches back and forth between a Prius and a Honda until he can wedge himself out of the parking space. And then gets stuck in stand-still traffic. The TikTok goes viral. It's talked about on the Gotham news and Gothamites are losing their shit, pointing out the exact moment you can see the carjacker start to soundlessly cuss through the car's windshield or the way the businessman is just... standing on the side of the road, watching with a deadpan look.

Danny doesn't know about it being on the news, but he sees all the comments, likes, reposts, and feels something. He wonders if this is what Ember feels every time people listened to her music. So, he keeps posting. Usually, it's short three-second videos of a hilariously unexpected situation with an even more deranged caption. But then he's accidentally caught in the reflection of a store front while recording and doesn't know, posts it like he always does; only for this TikTok to go viral, too. Because "Danny Phantom" is a child??

He doesn't notice the shift in his comments, but the public opinion quickly changes from wow, Gothamites are just like that huh lol to what the FUCK, kid, get inside!!! anytime he posts.

Except Danny never gets hurt. Even in the most dangerous situations, when you'd think this kid is a goner for sure, he's just happily yapping in the background. He's so different from Gothamites because he lacks that dead-eyed, despair-inducing aura of someone who's lived in a hellmouth their whole lives. (A couple people post that Danny kind of reminds them of Golden Boy Brucie Wayne, all air-headed and unrealistically optimistic, and suddenly there's memes of "what happens when you've never gotten shot in Gotham" or "how i act when Commish Gordie accuses me of shoplifting again" with them side-by-side.)

And then Danny's posts go viral again and again. Danny doing a fit check with a blond-haired woman with a checkered outfit, she ruffles his hair and kisses him on the cheek. A picture of him wearing an old jean jacket with a bright red lipstick smear on his cheek is trending for weeks. Spoiler, fully suited up in an all-purple vigilante attire, and him shoving gas station hotdogs in their mouths. He even has videos of him clearly in Killer Croc's lair, with comments of are you in the sewers??? DANNY??? and he responds, no, i'm in mom & dad's basement :) (Waylon Jones is actually sitting behind him in one of the videos, intently watching a TV show on an iPad.)

Everybody adores Danny - Rogues, Gothamites, even the Bats. (There's at least six videos of Nightwing teaching Danny how to do backflips, handstands, and other acrobatic moves. Even the youngest Robin has been caught on camera quietly talking with Danny, a shocking lack of violence that left half the city's population suffering from cuteness aggression for the kids.)

So, yeah, Danny belongs to Gotham.

But the internet is widely accessible and Danny made it so, so easy to find him. Jazz obviously didn't know he was posting videos of himself publicly; she was too tired after back-to-back 12 hour shifts at the hospital that she hadn't even checked social media in months. Otherwise, she would've told him to be careful, to never show his face or post his real name on the internet. Then again, Jazz would never have expected all of Gotham (and Superman himself, totally endeared by the kid after Kon and Jon showed him a couple TikToks) would beat the absolute shit out of anybody going after Danny.

Imagine GIW's surprise when they track down Amity's former residential Ghost only to find an entire city frothing at the mouth to protect their Phantom.

We know ghost can feed on emotions. So Danny’s TikTok is helping him feed on cuteness and positivity. So he’s gradually growing more power with each TikTok. Danny doesn’t use his sway over people to change their decisions. However now everyone would jump in front of a car for him and Danny is just like lalalala I wanna see some stars. I’ll just make a video about the stars you CAN see through the gotham smog. Right after that video is posted Poison Ivy started growing trees made to reduce smog so Danny can see more stars.

Can I talk about Danny Fenton Kills the Joker ? I hope you said yes bc I'm going to.

Now, I like it for the bit. Anyone killing Joker for the bit is hilarious.

But for the serious ? Ouhgggg I love it.

Danny is surrounded by death, he IS dead. He's seen his family die ! He fights ghosts for a living(and a deading too) ! In some fics he's the KING of the dead !

Death is so normal to him, he forgets that most people see dying as the end all be all, the little thing that is total obliteration. To him, people die and then fall under his jurisdiction, or they reincarnate somewhere.

So when he kills this guy who is causing the living a whole lot of strife he thinks "cool. I'll just take him off your hands. You can have visitation rights once you come here too. Bye."

Meanwhile Batman has such conviction about sentencing anyone to the nothingness that death is supposed to be is like "what could this child have grown up around.... To take a life so easily... Was he raised like Damian... ? Oh no..."

Batman: death is the end of the individual, I can’t do that to anyone

Danny: death is a second, much more expected puberty

The way I cackled 🤣

Green green green. Nothing but an endless sea of green. No haunts, no islands, no portals. Nothing except for the lonely ghost boy filled with regret. Not from what he did. Danny had no choice but to destroy the portal. And even if he had known the shock wave would blast him to this unknown part of the zone, he'd still do it. No, this regret was from so much more. It was from not saying 'I love you' one last time. It was from not savoring his youth. It was from fixing that stupid portal. So, so much regret. And an eternity of green to stew in it.

...

........

Wait. What's that? Is that... a portal?

Yes! It is!

A natural portal spawning before his very eyes only a few feet away. Danny would have wept if he hadn't exhausted his tear ducts long ago. Instead he drifts over to the portal, stopping just before he enters it. He's filled with hesitation. Natural portals are unpredictable. It could spit him out into an acid pit or in the middle of a war. There wasn't even a guarantee he would land in his own dimension. But... wasn't it better than here? Wasn't whatever was through this portal better than the green infinity he was currently trapped in, no matter how unpredictable?

Danny took a deep breath. And then another. Screw it. He plunged himself into the portal, embracing whatever chaos that would receive him from this unending sea of green.

Marvel huh? Well, then let me add a headcanon I saw in a wildly different and completely unrelated fic to get us all started.

If this is the MCU Thanos, Danny shows up somewhere in that dimension that has a close connection with Death. Vormir, where Gamora's Soul is still lingering.

She was technically used as a Sacrifice to Summon the Soul Stone, so her Soul shouldn't have been allowed to become a Ghost. But thanks to the sudden and unprecedented Influx of Souls into the Soul Stone and then Out into the Realms, she was washed out and ended up back where she died.

Danny helps her get acclimated to her new Ghosts Form and them gets an explanation as to what the hell is going on. Apparently her Genocidal Adoptive Dad had used something called the Infinity Stones to kill half of all life in the Universe. Which was a Bad thing.

He decides to try and help out. But he has no idea how to get to Earth or wherever Thanos went. Guess it'll take a while. At least he has Gamora to keep him company, something he hasn't had in about...how long was he in the Realms?

...

Gamora decides after a week of flying through space with this kid that she wants to adopt him. (As is the natural order of Fanfics)

When the finally find a way to fix everything, Quill comes back to life and finds himself with a Ghost Girlfriend/Wife(?) And a Half Ghost Son. He needs a bit of time to adjust but he's cool with it.

Danny would love to he a member of the Guardians. He can travel all of Space with a new family, as both a Hero and a Criminal. It's the best of Both Worlds!

Rocket would love him if he picked up any of his parents technical skills. The day Danny figures out how to make Rocket intangible with Ecto-Tech is the day Rocket tries to steal Danny from Gamora and Quill.

Mantis also likes having Danny on the Team. Ghosts are headcanoned to be Empaths most of the time, so her having another Empath to talk to would he fun. Also he's her new Nephew, which is twice as good!

Me, writing feverishly:

The JL are convinced Phantom is this Ancient Eldritch Being - everyone aside from Batman. Batman's, like, 99.9 percent sure Danny is an actual teenager because his Dad Senses are tingling and also because Danny says batshit insane stuff that all of Bruce's kids also say.

It comes to a head when Danny's in Gotham, doing a stakeout with Batman, Red Robin, Spoiler, and Signal. It's dead silent and then Danny just starts wheezing and says, "You must...."

Tim, Steph, and Duke snap to attention like sleeper agents.

And then they all say, simultaneously in a terrible Romanian accent and intermittent wheezing:

"Bounce on it... *wheeze*... crazy style."

Batman knows, in that moment, that Danny is 100 percent a child. (His kids have been bastardizing Nosferatu quotes and doing the hand-pointing thing for the last two weeks since watching the damn movie during family night.)

Bruce has always been...complicated. With his kids. Granted, the life they lead doesn't make anything easy, but he has always, in some way, failed them.

Watching them all die was evidence enough of that.

If he'd trained them properly, if he'd been there for them, then they wouldn't have died.

All of them came back, but that doesn't forgive that they died in the first place.

Oracle's elderitch husband

It was just a normal patrol as Oracle was informating the batfam about the whereabout of Riddler's new hideout after he brought nearly four dozen suspicious boxes.

Then came the unfamiliar male voice in the coms.

"Hey honey, do you want almond raspberry babka no-

Oracle's coms immediately cut off.

It would be 26 minutes after the batfam finished patrol and spam nearly 5 dozen messages in the collective Robin chat before Oracle's com came back on.

"Who's with you, Oracle?"

"Father, she is obviously compromised after the coms cut off early."

"I'd been trying to find her location on the Batcomputer, but it's keep glitching out!"

"First of all, I am not compromised, Two, I forgot to take speaker voice off, and Three, who he is isn't none of your business. I mean It, if I catch any of you trying to dig into this, then I'm pulling all the embarrassing blackmail materials I have on all of you." Oracle hissed in the coms with words that swear she will do it. The sound of soft munching could be heard.

"Soo, how good is that almond raspberry Babka worth cutting off coms for?"

"....."

"I'll send the recipe to Alfred, but no digging, That means you Dick, Tim and Bruce, and Cass you better not help them out." Oracle spoke a bit softly before cutting off coms for the night.

"Oh, hunny~" Bab said softly, looking down with a smile that sends shivers down his back that promised pain.

"Ymhnzs?" Danny muffled voice could be heard as he was still in a headlock, his mouth covered by her hand as he was bend awkwardly that shouldn't be possible for a a very tall guy's back to bend in a way with the tray once almost full batch of freshly baked Almond Raspberry Babkas.

"What had I told you about coming in during my night hours~?" Babs said sweetly if it weren't for the arm nearly choking hold she had on his neck as she uncovered his mouth.

"Not allowed unless you're finished with work or Dante got stuck in your spare wheelchair again.." Danny quietly said with his face flushed.

"You're unconsciously becoming like your Dad, but at least he texted me before breaking down my wall to show me your baby pictures again."

"B-b-but, honey you ar-

"No buts, you're sleeping in the couch for tonight or in the thermos until next week until I figured out how to make the correct diversion to trick the bats, now make your choice now considering the babka asba bribe for a lesser punishment."

"Well~?"

Danny pouted, his pointed ears droop down with his eyes all wide but he knew the Jack fenton puppy eye look isn't going to save him now from his wife's wrath.

...

..

"I'll take the couch.."

Used to it

Danny was quite desensitized to death by the time he finished High school. And he didn’t mean just ghosts. Despite his stellar record of preventing any deaths during his vigilante career, he still managed to see quite a few dead bodies. Though those usually weren’t in Amity but nearby towns.

Ghosts did need help sometimes to get peace and that often meant that he found their remains and anonymously sent in tips to the police. It’s this reason why when he planned to move to Gotham for College, and after checking out rent prices, he decided to do something that would only aid him in saving money.

He took a week during the summer between semesters and traveled to Gotham. After a few days of scouting (and staying in shitty hotels) he found the perfect place. An unused Mausoleum. It just needed a minor bit of renovation (like adding a bathroom) and it would be perfect.

He went to the library and searched to make sure he knew the information of whose building it was and if there were plans to use it soon. His luck was good and it was considered abandoned. He checked the price and winced. It would take a good chuck from his savings but overall it would save him quite a bit.

Deciding to save money after he bought it, he used ghosts with the right obsessions to reconstruct it. When he started living there he was somewhat surprised at how settled he felt. Turns out he somewhat accidentally made himself his own grave, which was good for his ghost half.

He didn’t realize that his coming and going from the graveyard would be noticed by the bats though. He doesn’t really want to have them digging into his life. He knows it will be hard but somehow he knows they will find something.

Imagine Tim going on a spiral down about zombies apocalypse actually starting to laugh after Babs got tracking glitchy footage of a zombie, literally walking out his grave in the middle of the night, searching around gotham looking for something and speaking and yelling at someone if it weren't for the static making it difficult to hear completely, going back to the haunted mausoleum, and walking back into it's own grave before the crack of dawn.

It took dick, step, and actually damian to stop trying to steal sharpen machete from Damian's room. They don't know if this be a legitimate zombie or something like solomon grundy.

Babs had already looked up the history of that particular abandoned mausoleum as well and it was enough to make her blood go cold reading it.

That particular Mausoleum was said to be haunted belonged to a tragedy young heir whome body was never recovered to bury, the forgotten Nightingale family was well off and known family of oddballs.

A faded portrait of two parents whose faces were smudged by time, an older sister, a preteen boy, a little twin boy, and a girl.

A tragedy struck during a dark and thunder storm when the children decided to play a game of hide and seek and accidentally trick their older brother into thinking they went out during the storm as they fell asleep in a the hamper up in the attic of the home. Some people said Lightning struck several times that night and a terrifying wail was heard and other say they could hear desperate cries from that boy asking for his sibling to stop hiding and come home, but Dane was never seen again.

Some Superstitious people had said they could hear that young boy calling out for his siblings during night thunderstorm, his spirit never rested until he find them, and the Nightingale family never recovered from the lost, leaving and never to appear in gotham again.

The photo of the supposed missing and body never recovered Dane Nightingale looked exactly like their zombie with the Lichtenberg figure scar trailing up his arm. Black shirt hair, blue eyes, and pale tone skin found from a missing article poster.

Then there is Danny Fenton, a new college student at Gotham Academy. Outside school, thế Bất can’t find where his go. The only footages of him every time he disappears is he going near the mausoleum. The Bats do the investigation on him, find out he did exist, and the Fenton is the relative of Nightingale.

One of the theories is that Dane is haunting Danny, because of their similar traits and blood, and using his body to find his siblings.

Or maybe, Danny Fenton is the “next life” of Dane Nightingale, but his spite wasn’t rest in peace so he come back to Gotham and continue to find his siblings. That could explain the scars suddenly appear on Danny’s hand since his 14, while there are no records that he had been stuck by lightning or electricity.

The whole thing may not need to be investigated but they are Bats. Of causes they will try to figure everything out of the case.

Idea.

The only reason the bats were paying attention to the mausoleum anyway is because it’s right next to Jason’s grave.

Ever since Jason was revived the bats had been keeping a close eye on the cemetery in case any other people buried there came back to life.

Now Danny doesn’t know about any of this.

What he does know is that for some reason whenever he sees Red Hood or that Wayne kid who just came out of witness protection, all he can think of is “Hi Neighbor”

Jason decided to go back to school for an education, got his GED, and now shares an English class with Danny.

Jason: You again?

Danny: Yeah! So coincidence! We’re not only the neighbor at the cemetery but also sharing same desk at school. We should hang out more!

Jason: Agh! Okay. At your grave or my grave?

Danny: We should go to mine, at least before you make over your grave. I think the solid on the coffin is not tight

……..

Later when Tim and Dick watch the footage of the cam they put near Danny’s mausoleum to do the investigation, they see Danny hand in hand with Jason and jump right in the mausoleum and fade through it. Then they didn’t come out.

And they were tomb mates. 😂

Oh my gawd, they were tomb mates!

This has killed me with its cold humor

This just popped into my head lol

Wishes

Batfam fighting cultists but they are actually somewhat competent at magic. They manage to hold them off and finish the summoning.

Danny: *is summoned*

Head Cultist: Great Ghost King, we have summoned you to grant our wish. Please cleanse this world to add to your kingdom.

Danny, full King regalia: *immense power crushes down like increased gravity* You wish? You wish?! I am not a d*mn genie!!! Be glad I am a Benevolent King who isn’t inclined to kill you for this slight! Take heed that when you die and join my kingdom I have already marked you for punishment! *poofs away*

Cultists and Batfam are frozen.

Danny, later: Hahahaha the looks on their faces!

Amity Park, The New transylvania Town.

Got inspired by this beautiful post <- By this person @nerdpoe <-

Due to Amity Park town folks is completely independent on Ectoplasm air and liquid, but totally allergic to the sun in daylight.

They found a loophole that they could go out at night, but nobody able to leave fully from amity park due to the lack of ectoplasm that cause them to become weak, their skin paler then white paint, lengthing fangs, eyes nearly glowing onimous green from ecto- starving and the instable rage induced that come with it.

The Fenton and Frostbite came up with the temporary solution, which was modified thermos bottles full of ectoplasm, which end up becoming a business around town.

The unfortunate side effect seems to make the pure ectoplasm turn red and heavy scented like blood outside the town.

Family, lovers, and friends that visited Amity Park would come back with a 4 boxes stuff to the brim with bottled up ectoplasm to get refilled and visit the town again every 2 months to the point rumors started to come due to some crazed theory.

That Amity Park became a town of vampires. The rumors start another rumor that they never leave the town at all due to the dark clouds cover it's entirely. (The saturated ectoplasm clouds look like dark fog clouds above the sky)

People who came to visit and come back with boxes full of bottled up blood.

Then, when rumors reach the ears of the Justice League, it would be a year in Amity Park to become a much bigger community than when it used to be a small town.

lmfaooooo

JLD trying to infiltrate to find the Vampire Queen/King, and through a series of miscommunication, think it's Sam Manson.

Sam wants nothing to do with them.

JLD wants to broker a peace treaty to ensure this literal city of vampires won't start killing randomly.

Actual vampires start coming into the city and find out that the altered ectoplasm can also be used as a blood substitute, and the longer they stay in Amity, the more they start changing.

They no longer feel obligation towards their King/Queen.

They start hyperfocusing on specific hobbies they used to love before they became vampires.

They, ironically, start being able to go out in sunlight in short bursts.

(This is because they are veering to being closer to dead than undead, which isn't really all that odd in Amity, and as long as they stay in Amity they don't realize that they're unable to survive away from ecto anymore)

Amity Parkers, though, don't notice anything strange about their new residents.

The JLD do, and they're freaking out, because clearly Samantha Manson is amassing an army.

Idea.

The only reason the JLD think Sam is the vampire queen is because her title as Undergrowth’s heir and Danny’s consort/keeper of the brain cell is The Blackthorn Queen (dun dun dun).

Tuck is the Techno Pharaoh

Wes is the All Seeing Chancellor

Valerie is the Crimson Empress

Danny id (obviously) the Ghost King

Hmm…

I wonder what kinds of misunderstandings these titles will cause our poor little trench coat wizard man.
