Danny Knew He Shouldn't Be In Gotham But He Refused To Let Cujo Go Hog Wild In A Highly Populated Area,

Danny knew he shouldn't be in Gotham but he refused to let Cujo go hog wild in a highly populated area, especially if there where heros about who might be working with the government.

He had just placed the cap back on his thermos when he received a punch from someone tall, blond and purple all over.

It was Spoiler, and ow she had a mean left hook. Danny didn't want to fight, especially if his opponent was a bat so, thinking fast he rapidly blurted out the first thing that came to his mind, "We'veBeenTryingToReachYouAboutYourCarsExtendedWarrenty"

Spoiler paused, trying to decipher what the heck Danny had just said, but danny was already running

Danny stopped physically aging when he died in the portal, so after a few years he left to live in the ghost zone.

He still kept in contact with his friends, but they were busy with school and making new friends.

He wasn’t jealous. Really.

When he was sixteen though, he met the ghost of the second Robin—Jason, Danny later found his name to be—and they hit it off almost immediately.

Like calls to like, opposites attract, call it what you will, but they were inseparable.

Until Jay disappeared one day.

—

Fast forward six or so years.

By now, Danny’d learned to shapeshift his body into anything he wanted, his true age included. It was really draining, but seeing the living world was worth it.

He was currently wondering around Gotham, he’d come to visit Sam but she’d been in class at Gotham U at the time, so he decided to take a walk through the mall.

Where he felt a familiar presence in a small group of what looked to be either friends or family.

He had to stop himself from openly staring at them in his confusion.

Now, he had never forgotten Jason, but his ghostly friend had slipped to the back of his mind over the years.

But that feeling was definitely Jay’s core. He’d remember it anywhere.

That was Jason. A very not dead Jason.

From that revelation onwards, it was a blur of emotions and muffled shouts as he barreled into his old friend, letting trills of happiness from his core.

Jason had been dragged to the mall for one of Dick’s “sibling bonding experiences (no Bruce allowed)” attempts, and had been having an admittedly ok time, between Damian and Tim’s half joking threats to each other and Cass and Dick’s teasing.

They were being careful of him, like usual, so he wasn’t pushed too hard to participate in their little activities.

The pit had been easier to push down recently, but he’d rather them keep the distance from him just in case.

By the time they sat down in the food court, he’d made a plan to help demon brat shut down Pet Smart as a whole, agreed to wear ballet slippers and attempt to dance in them for Cass, snitched to Alfred about Tim’s caffeine intake for the day, and all around tormented Dick.

So today was going pretty ok.

And then he nearly got knocked out of his chair by a scrawny kid with way too much strength.

The feeling of the pit that had been simmering under the surface all day practically exploded outwards at the unknown touch that did not feel like a kid despite appearances, and he could tell his siblings could notice because Dick was instantly on his feet and by his side.

But…the rage never came.

Instead, he felt a bubbling joy wash over him every time the kid hugging him made that weird noise.

Or: Danny, forever stuck in his fourteen year old body, was friends with Jason in the afterlife before he was resurrected. Years later, he finds a very much living Jason in Gotham mall, and in his excitement, tackles him. Losing his concentration on his adult form in the process. Jason doesn’t know who this kid is, but he’s definitely got questions.

Ao3 is actually massively culturally important and very very good at being what it is. I’m so serious when I say that ao3 needs to be protected as the anti censorship, by fans for fans, nonprofit, volunteer run, expertly designed archival site that it is. You don’t have to read or like fanfiction to understand that on principle, ao3 is a site that should be defended.

Every time Conan says “I will let you go this time because of [x]”, I want to reach through the screen, squish his smug lil face and softly yell at him that he lets KID get away every time. E-v-e-r-y-t-i-m-e.

Just. Be honest with yourself, Shinichi. You don’t actually want him behind bars. You haven’t tried to seriously arrest him since the Black Star case. And even there, you deliberately fucked it up by wanting to spend alone time with him.

I mean, seriously, genuinely, he hasn’t tried to actually, actively catch KID even once so far.

Black Star heist #1 (on the roof-top): He has KID’s location but instead of alerting the police first, he goes there alone so he can talk to KID and “see his face” that’s gay, Shinichi

Black Star heist #2 (on the ship): He figured out KID was posing as Ran and instead of alerting the police, or anyone, or exposing KID in public, he lures him away so they can talk one-on-one. Again. Once more giving KID the opportunity to sneak off

And those were the times where he was… at least trying to catch KID. In very twisted and failed ways, because he wants to go all alone and that’s how KID gets away. But he was trying.

After that very first heist, he just straight-up gives up on trying with flimsy excuses and I love him for it, I really do, but he needs to stop pretending that he actually wants to arrest KID. He knows he doesn’t. Haibara knows he doesn’t. KID knows he doesn’t - I mean, KID literally does, otherwise he wouldn’t spend his time lingering about, waiting for Conan’s usual expositional deductions.

Magic Lover’s Murder Case: “Well, you didn’t actually steal anything and despite still being an internationally wanted criminal, I will let you go because you didn’t steal anything this time, I guess” - Shinichi, a very serious detective who is very serious about putting criminals away who committed crimes even when they are not currently actively in the middle of committing said crimes (seriously, that is his whole spiel. To catch murderers. After they murdered). Unless it’s KID, in that case, we have to let him go if he doesn’t do anything actively criminal :/

Last Wizard of the Century #1 (at the castle): KID saved his live. So letting him fly off only seems fair, right? That’s how that works. If a criminal saves your life, you let them go.

Last Wizard of the Century #2 (at the detective agency): KID only dropped by for the sole purpose of covering for Shinichi’s secret, so it would actually be unfair to tranq him now, I will give him that one.

The Gathered Detectives: Despite having figured out that KID was posing as Kogoro like… probably ten minutes into their stay at the mansion, he let KID get away with it because… again… not actively committing any crimes and you just don’t arrest an internationally wanted criminal outside of him committing a crime, that would just be rude.

The Crystal Mother: KID is actually, actively in the middle of a heist here, but Conan rather busies himself with worrying about KID’s safety and not actually with… worrying about capturing KID.

Miraculous Midair Walk: Again, figured out really early into the stint who KID was posing as, but did nothing about it. Did actively try to dart KID this time though… after going on a lil joyride with KID, so nice half-hearted attempt on that one.

Magician of the Silver Sky #1 (on the roof-top): Just straight up stops running and stands several feet away from KID, giving him every chance to fly off if he so desired (which he doesn’t, because KID likes spending time with him. So KID just… stands there, on the rooftop, waiting for him). Afterward, he does try to tranq KID, to his credit, but… only after actively seeking KID’s attention, which has proven to mean you won’t get him. Self-sabotaging once more and pretending like he’s really trying.

Magician of the Silver Sky #2 (the plane): Okay, that is the one where KID legitimately got away, on his own account. By jumping out of the crashing plane. Still, Shinichi wouldn’t have arrested him because 1.) didn’t actively steal anything this time again and, once more 2.) saved Shinichi’s life. Both the big “I’ll let you go this time” excuses.

The Eccentric Mansion: Yet again the excuses of not having stolen anything and having actively saved Shinichi (and the Detective Boys) are used as reasons why he doesn’t arrest KID.

(That’s how far I’ve gotten in my current rewatch. Pretty sure the pattern continues like that in the rest of the cases but don’t 100% remember the details, so let’s take these as sample sizes for now.)

Look, I admire the gentlemanly nature of not arresting someone after they save your life, but it kind of isn’t related to the crimes at hand. And the fact that he’s not actively stealing something during a perfect opening to arrest him doesn’t exactly negate any crimes of the past, something this detective most definitely knows but elects to ignore, only when it comes to KID though.

It’ll just never stop being hilarious to me that Conan still pretends like he is actively trying to capture KID when he has deliberately let him go 70% of the time and indirectly sabotaged his own chances of actually capturing him 20% of the time. That’s not how you catch criminals - and it’s made much more hilarious by the fact that this is our titular detective, who never lets any criminal he usually chases get away and solves every case. Sure, sure, murder is worse than stealing jewelry from rich people, but the detective principle still stands and the contrast of the behavior is overwhelming.

Batfam members doing little nice things for Danny that eventually leads to him asking a few powerful ghosts around to protect them if they could. The batfam is very confused. Who is this “High Prince of the Infinite Realm”, and how did they get on his good side?
