When Jason and Danny meet for the first time…
Jason: "Who the hell are you, and why are you glowing?" Danny: "Who am I? Who are YOU? And why do you look like a guy who wrestles with the entire city's crime every night?"
Jason: "Tch. Gotham’s got weirdos. And you're a... what, ghost?" Danny: "Uh, yeah? And you’re what? A walking catastrophe in leather?"
Jason: "Whatever. Just don't get in my way." Danny: "No promises."
Cue a fight with an enemy they’re both trying to take down… and it’s pure chaos as usual. But suddenly—BAM!—they’re both hit, but the damage is weirdly similar. They’re left standing, staring at the same scar in the exact same spot on both of their bodies.
Danny: "...I’m sorry, but I think I need a moment." Jason: "No way... this can’t be real."
DC x DP
They were gone. Gone. It didn't feel real. How could it? His parents were dead; they were killed by their own invention. How ironic! He could hear Sam saying "what goes around comes around" in her snarky tone. He knows that he should be grieving. But he doesn't feel sad, just numb. Some of Jazz's lectures on shock echo in his head.
Shit! He has to tell Jazz. She is should be in class right now and he knows midterms are next week. She doesn't need to be-
"Phantom?"
Right, he was in the middle of a Justice League debrief when he got the text.
Batman requires him to debrief after he completes a time mission for Clockwork. Something about how is a new member and is inexperienced. Which feels uncalled for since he dealt with world ending events for a whole year before joining the league at 15. And he has been working with the league for two years now. Sure he isn't an adult yet but he has been taking care of himself for as long as he can remember. Much to the chagrin of Jazz. The only thing he needs from his parents now is-
"Phantom!"
"How do you emancipation yourself?"
"What?"
"Would my sister have to know? How am I going to pay the mortgage? Do I get a salary for helping the Justice League? Will I have-"
"Phantom!!"
Danny's eyes snapped up to Batman's glaring. He was just getting in the grove for a good spiral. Belatedly he realized everyone was staring at him with varying forms of confusion and sadness.
"Phantom..." OH no that's Wonder Woman's I have something to tell you that your not going to like but you need to hear it. "Your dead... as far as I am aware, ghosts don't have to pay a mortgage nor do they need to be emancipated."
Jumping up and looking around Danny cheered "OH I forgot to tell you guys! I am not completely dead. I am dead but not completely. I am also not completely alive either. It's confusing in general... I am what's known as a halfa. We are an embodiment of the veil itself, both alive and dead."
Judging by the shocked looks from everyone assembled, Danny did a shitty job of explaining again. Unfortunately for them, Danny has had this conversation one too many times and doesn't want to have it again. So, he decides to bulldoze through any attempts to ask questions and continues.
"Anyways, I do need to be emancipated since my parents just died and I am a minor. There is no way my sister can take me in. She just started her second year of college and-"
"Your a minor!"
"Your alive!"
"Your parents died..."
"I could adopt you."
Snapping his head back to Batman and using the most feed up tone he can muster, he drawls "I have been an orphan for all of 5 mins. You need psychiatric help ASAP."
The room fell into stunned silence. The League had seen Phantom in all sorts of crises—world-ending fights, impossible missions, time loops, and even dealing with eldritch entities that would have driven most people insane. But this? This was different. This was personal.
Thank you for helping me reach 1000 followers and as a gift for helping me achive this I wrote a fanfic for u guys.
Thank you @egyptianghosts for sending me this prompt idea and @apatheticsunday I hope you like it.
Summary:
Danny Fenton, raised by his adoptive parents, learns his biological parents are Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle. At 17, he visits Gotham to find Selina, leading to an awkward encounter with Bruce, who tries to offer him money and opportunities. Danny, frustrated by Bruce's wealth and interference, rejects him. Selina, respecting Danny's existing maternal bond, becomes a supportive "cool aunt" figure. Meanwhile, Danny tries to avoids Bruce and deals with Batman’s attempts to involve him in Gotham’s elite world.
How will this turn out for him?
More chapters are on the way
ps. PJO fans "From the World of Percy Jackson: The Court of the Dead: A Nico di Angelo Adventure" is now available for preorder. I reallly wanny buy it but i'm broke.
Chapter 4: Jazz Knows Best
“JAZZ! YOU WERE RIGHT!”
Danny clutched his phone, pacing his dorm room. On the other end, Jazz sounded way too smug for his liking.
“Told you,” she said. “Did you use the creepstick?”
“…I threw it at Bruce Wayne before I ran.”
Jazz made a choked sound before bursting into laughter.
Danny groaned. “It’s not funny! Batman cornered me outside my dorm!”
Jazz’s laughter slowed. “Wait. Batman talked to you?”
“Yeah! He told me to tell you he doesn’t adopt random teenagers.”
Silence.
Then Jazz snorted. “That’s exactly what he’d say.”
Danny sighed. Gotham wasn’t done with him yet.
Chapter 3: The Bat Strikes Back
Danny had almost convinced himself that the incident at the café had blown over.
Almost.
Then, on his way back to his dorm, he felt it—a prickle of awareness down his spine. The same feeling he got when ghosts were watching him. But there were no ghosts in Gotham.
So that left one option.
Batman.
Danny picked up his pace. The sooner he got inside, the better. He could already hear Jazz yelling at him in his head. You were supposed to AVOID attention, Danny!
Unfortunately, his paranoia was justified.
The moment he reached his dorm building, a shadow dropped from above, landing silently in his path.
Danny skidded to a stop.
Chapter 2: Immediate Regrets
Danny had been in Gotham for exactly three days when the first incident happened.
To be fair, he wasn’t looking for trouble. He was just trying to enjoy his coffee in a small café near campus when he felt eyes on him. That alone wasn’t unusual—Gotham was full of shifty people. But when he glanced up, he saw a familiar figure sitting a few tables away, reading a newspaper.
Bruce. Freaking. Wayne.
Danny nearly choked on his drink.
Nope. No way. Jazz was going to murder him.
He immediately looked away, gripping his cup like it was a lifeline. Okay, play it cool. Maybe he’s not actually looking at you. Maybe he just happens to be here.
He risked another glance.
Chapter 1: Disguise or Die
Danny Fenton had survived a lot in his short eighteen years of life. Ghost attacks, interdimensional chaos, and Vlad’s relentless attempts at forced mentorship. But nothing—absolutely nothing—compared to the force of nature that was Jazz when she was in overprotective big sister mode.
Which is how he found himself sitting on a stool in the bathroom, a towel draped around his shoulders, while Jazz aggressively dyed his hair.
“Ow! Jazz, you’re gonna rip my scalp off!” Danny complained as she ran the dye through his hair with the same level of intensity she used when analyzing psychological case studies.
“Oh hush, I barely tugged,” Jazz dismissed, not even pausing. “You’re the one who decided to go to Gotham for college, Danny. The place where Bruce Wayne lives. The place where Batman prowls. You think I’m going to just let you waltz in there looking like prime adoption material?”
Danny groaned, slumping in his seat. “I think you’re being ridiculous. Batman or Bruce Wayne isn’t just gonna ‘adopt’ me, Jazz.”
Jazz scoffed. “You are a short, scrappy, traumatized teenager with a hero complex. You are exactly his type.”
“I am not short,” Danny muttered, crossing his arms. “And besides, I don’t look anything like a Gotham kid.”
@egyptianghosts thx for sending me this
Bruce Wayne had learned, over the years, that strange things happened when he least expected them. He could be on a mission, on patrol, or—as was currently the case—simply trying to enjoy an uneventful father-son outing with Damian.
Dick had insisted they take a short trip out of Gotham for some bonding time, and Bruce, against his usual instincts, had relented. A quiet festival in Pennsylvania sounded like an ideal setting for something normal.
He should’ve known better.
“Dad!”
Bruce turned sharply at the call, instincts flaring at the urgency in the voice. It belonged to a teenager, maybe thirteen or fourteen, jogging towards him and Damian with an exasperated yet casual expression.
Beside him, Damian tensed, his scowl deepening as the boy stopped in front of them.
“Geez, I turn around for a second and you disappear. Now who’s the ghost, huh?” the boy snarked.
Bruce blinked, thrown off by the casual tone directed at him. But before he could speak, the boy’s attention had already shifted to Damian, his expression shifting to concern.
“You okay? Got separated from your people?”
Damian bristled, arms crossing. “My father is right here, you idiot.”
“Damian,” Bruce warned.

@purplereaderfans enjoy
The Phantom Twins were legends in Amity Park. Two ghostly figures, identical in appearance yet distinct in energy, defending the town from spectral threats and melting the hearts of Amity’s teens. No one suspected that beneath the heroic visages of Danny Phantom and Dan Phantasm were two very real, very human twins—Danny and Dan Fenton.
Their parents, Jack and Maddie, had expected only one baby, but fate had other plans. The twins grew up inseparable, sharing everything—except their tempers. Danny was easygoing and lighthearted, while Dan had a fiery intensity that balanced him out. When the accident in the portal turned them into half-ghosts, they fought side by side, taking on the ghosts that plagued their town while navigating high school life.
Danny’s relationship with Dash Baxter, of all people, had been a shock to many. The so-called "bullying" had been a mask for feelings Dash didn’t know how to express. Once they worked through that, Dash became one of their strongest allies.
But nothing could have prepared them for him—Dan’s ghost from the future. It wasn’t a fusion of Danny’s and Vlad’s ghost halves; it was Dan’s own ghost half, ripped away from him. The horror of seeing what he could become haunted Dan, even as Danny helped him through it. The future was not set in stone, but the fear of what could be never left them.
Then came the day Pariah Dark awoke. They sealed him back into the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep, standing victorious where Vlad had once failed. But with victory came an unforeseen consequence: by right of conquest, the Phantom Twins were now heirs to the Ghost King’s throne.
@cullenbluewrites here you go
Hal takes Danny on a little space trip🚀✨
Danny (floating next to Hal, arms behind his head): Whoa, its been a while since we had a space trip.
Hal: See? Told ya we need to go on one
Suddenly, a flash of red and blue light appears ahead of them
🔥🔵🔴
Danny (squinting at the approaching figure): Uh, Hal? Who’s the glowing, angsty dude heading right for us?
Hal (sighing): That would be Razer.
Danny: He always look that pissed off, or is this just my lucky day?
Razer floats closer, arms crossed, looking unimpressed
Razer: …
Danny (crossing his arms right back, matching the energy): …
Mutual glaring. Mutual sarcasm detected. Universe bracing for impact.
Hal (awkwardly gesturing between them): Uh… Danny, this is Razer. Razer, Danny.
Danny (grinning): So, what’s your deal? You look like you’re one bad day away from a full villain arc.
Razer (deadpan): Oh, wonderful. Another glowing annoyance in my life.
Danny: Hey, I take offense to that! I am a spectacular glowing annoyance.
Razer: I do not care.
Danny: That’s the spirit! Keep up that cold, brooding attitude, and maybe one day you’ll out-brood Batman.
Razer (squinting): Who?
Danny: Oh, we are gonna have words.
Hal (pinching the bridge of his nose): Please don’t encourage him.
Razer: Encourage me to what?
Danny: Brood harder, obviously. Maybe add some tragic monologues while staring dramatically into space. You got the whole ‘emo anti-hero’ vibe going strong.
Razer: I do not brood.
Danny: My guy, you are literally brooding right now.
Razer: I am simply thinking about how I have been cursed to deal with you.
Danny: See? That right there? Classic brooding.
Hal looks like he regrets all his life choices
Hal (muttering): I feel like I’ve made a mistake.
Kilowog, listening in over comms, cackling
Kilowog: Oh, definitely, but it’s gonna be hilarious.
Danny and Razer proceed to sass each other for the next hour while Hal just sighs into his glove, realizing the universe is not ready for this duo.
The Batfamily in the Batcave, all gathered around a computer screen. Barbara (Oracle) smirking as she plays back audio.
Barbara: "Tim, care to explain why you ordered 5 pizzas to a stakeout and forgot to mute comms?"
Jason is dying of laughter, Dick is facepalming, Bruce looks disappointed, and Tim is regretting all his life choices.
She then proceeds to expand it and show more videos
[ The Batcave, dimly lit, the Batfamily sitting in their usual spots. Oracle is at the computer, smugly glancing at her screen while the others stare in horror at the upcoming video.]
At the Batcave..... Jason, Tim, and Damian are huddled around the Batcomputer, snacking while cycling through GCPD body cam footage and scanner recordings. The mood? Pure entertainment.
GCPD Scanner: "Uh, we have a suspect dressed as a clown... possibly THE Joker... requesting backup."
Jason: pauses video, stares at the screen "Possibly? Yeah, maybe it's just a casual Tuesday clown with a death wish."
Tim: sipping coffee "To be fair, Gotham has an unhealthy number of clowns."
Damian: arms crossed "Only one of them leaves riddles and poetry. How are these officers still employed?"
Group Chat: "Batfam Investigations"
Masterpost part 2/4
Tim: "So I was digging through old mission logs, and uh... Bruce, explain this."
[File: Screenshot of a security cam feed showing Batman dramatically standing on a rooftop in the rain for exactly three hours, unmoving.]
Dick: "Bro... were you just standing there?"
Stephanie: "Is this a mood or a training exercise?"
Jason: "This man thinks he's in a movie."
Damian: "Fools. He is establishing dominance."
Babs: "No, I checked the comms. He didn't say a word the entire time."
geeky-nightphilosopher your wish has been granted
ps. this is part 1/4
Group Chat: “Batfam Comms – DO NOT MUTE”
Dick: “Alright, welcome back to Gotham’s Got Drama! Tonight, we’re rating villain monologues. First up: Riddler’s latest speech. Thoughts?”
Jason: “Too long. I fell asleep.”
Tim: “It lacked originality. He’s done the ‘intellectual superiority’ bit before. Feels repetitive.”
Damian: “Pathetic. A true warrior does not waste breath.”
Stephanie: “3/10. But bonus points for the green aesthetic. He’s committing to the brand.”
