Day 18 Revenge

Day 18 Revenge

“Come now Little Badger! After everything he did to you?” Vlad said as he started to drag himself across his lab. His legs mangled, and powers inaccessible due to the ecto suppressor that Danny managed to clamp onto his wrist. “He’s the reason you died. The reason you are constantly being hunted. The reason you are - “

“Enough Vlad. Enough. It doesn’t matter whose fault it is. Not really. Not when you killed Dad in a bid for revenge.” Danny said as he raised his hand up and pointed it at Vlad. Ecto blast ready.

“Then why are you doing this? Please! We are so much alike! We could do so much if we worked together. Please, don’t end me.” Vlad begged.

“I hate you Vlad. But you are right about one thing. We do have some things in common. Which is why you shouldn’t be surprised that I’m here. After all. You took someone away from me that I loved.” Danny said before firing. Not giving Vlad any more time.

“Time out.”

“Hay Clocky. Are you here to end me? Does this lead to Dark Danny?”

“No Daniel. I came to apologize.”

“For what? Was this one of the things that I would have to do for one of your better futures or some shit?”

“No. But it still doesn’t make this any easier. I’m sorry.” Clockwork said before placing his hand on Danny’s shoulder. “Rewind.”

“Dann-o! Hurry up! Don’t want the fish to start biting before we get there do you?” Jack yelled as he ran up to the GAV with the last bit of their camping gear.

“Huh?” Danny blinked and looked around. 

“You okay Danny?” Jazz asked walking up behind him.

“Ya. Just. Feel like I’ve seen this before.”

“Don’t say that too loud. Mom and Dad might think you’ve been overshadowed. Then we’ll never get to go camping.”

“You’re right. Let's go.”

“Come on you two! Don’t want to keep your Dad waiting.” Maddie said as she walked past her children.

Okay, I started this little drabble thinking I would just do today's Revenge prompt but I guess Clockwork didn’t like having Danny go this dark because the next thing I knew there was some time travel going on. Not that Danny realized.

DPxDC prompt (?)

Okay I'm thinking Danny, with a de-aged Dan and Ellie, move to Gotham while being hunted by the GIW. What's the first thing he does after securing a place to stay? Why, contact the local revenant of course. This is kinda how I see it going.

“Ay boss, is someun er ta see ya.” Bob said while peeking through the open office door. Everyone knows that when Red Hood has his door open it was okay to pop in. No one has made the mistake of interrupting the Hood when the doors closed a second time.

“Who is it?” Jason asked, not even looking up from his papers.

“Says he goes by ‘Danny’.” Bob said while stepping fully into office.

“Who the fuck is Danny? Don't think I know anyone by that name. What's he look like?” Jason asked, signing off on something before putting it aside.

“Not sommun from round er. Skinny fella. He’s one a them twinks is wha I think they called em. He’s Wayne bait. Thas fo cerain.” Bob saids with a shrug.

With a sigh Jason stands up and moves the rest of his papers into one of his desk’s drawers.

“Fine. Let him in. Probably Replacement with that description.” Jason says. Grumbling the last part.

A few minutes later a young man. Maybe a year younger than Jason walked in. Wayne bait was definitely an understatement. Like I had all the physical characteristics and was marking the exits.

“So Danny, what can the great Red Hood do for you?” Jason asked while spreading his arms wide.

“Me and my kids need to lay low. Crime Alley seemed like the best place for that.” Danny said before shifting his eyes to look a little to the right of Jason's helmeted head.

“A lot of people come here when they have nowhere else to go. But few come talk to me about it.” Jason said while leaning back in his chair.

Danny looked back at Jason with a considering look before sighing and pulling out a flash drive from one of his pockets.

“Look. The only reason why I'm approaching you is because this might affect some of the people in Gotham. And now that I've gotten a good look at you I guarantee it will affect you specifically if the people who are after me come here. It wouldn't sit right with me if I didn't give you some sort of heads up.” He said while placing the USB on the desk and stepping back.

“What's on it?” Jason asked nodding towards the USB.

“Laws that make it legal for people like us to be captured, experimented on, and ended. If you want to know more you just have to plug in the USB and read through the files.” Danny said. “As for me I just want to keep my kids safe. Do you have any questions for me while I'm here or am I good to go?”

“Yeah. What made you decide that here was the best place to lay low?”

“What better place to hide than one of the most cursed cities in America?” Danny said before offering a half hearted salute and walking out of the office.

This popped into my head at like 02:49 and I didn't want to start my PC back up or lose it in my notes so I'm putting it here. No clue if I'll write more but if anyone wants they can add their own tidbits. It's not edited and was typed out on my cell so sorry for any errors.

“So what's a kid like you doing in a place like this?” Red hood asks as he walked across the rooftop that Danny was laying on.

“Trying to see the stars.”

“This is Gotham, kid. You're in the wrong city if you want to go stargazing.”

Sighing Danny sits up and wraps his arms around his legs. Gotham indeed. If not for Lady Gotham and Clockwork he would be… Nope… No. Back in the box. We're not thinking about the thing we're not thinking about. ‘It's okay to feel. Okay to grieve.’ Shut up.

“I miss them.” Danny mumbled into the silence.

“The stars?”

“...Ya.”

“... I don't know about you kid but I'm starving. Ya want some Bat burger?” Red Hood asked as he reached out a hand to help Danny up. As if Danny had already agreed.

“Shouldn't take food from strangers.” Danny said as he stood up.

“Good advice. You going to take it?”

“You’re paying and I'm there when you order.”

“Deal.”

Hay, does anyone know when Tucker Foley's birthday is? I tried googling it but can't find it. I found Danny's ( February 12, 1989) and Sam's (April 23, 1990) but all I'm getting for Tucker is that he was born in 1991. Any help?
