If You Can't Outsmart Your Opponent, The Only Option Left Is To Outstupid Them.

If you can't outsmart your opponent, the only option left is to outstupid them.

— Kuroba Kaito, at some point

When Tim was little, his parents mentioned a barely known God that spanned multiple civilizations; but no one really knew what he was the God OF.

And little Timmy, well, he felt bad for that God. Years, centuries of work only to be forgotten?

It would be like completing homework four weeks early and having everyone forget he'd done it!

So from age seven and up, Tim would start praying to this God. He had the same name across multiple languages, and Tim opted to just use what all of those names would be in English.

Phantom.

What started at first as a side thing became his predominant religion by the accident of developing a habit and continuing it over years.

When he prayed to Phantom, he felt like he was being acknowledged in a way that praying to other gods just did not provide.

Even when he kind of went agnostic, he'd always toss up a little prayer to the Almost-Forgotten God.

He didn't expect, during a kidnapping courtesy of Joker after a rather shitty patrol, for said God to manifest in front of him and fight Joker with his fists.

Or; the reason Danny survived the portal accident (sort of) was because he was already in the process of being deified by someone who was alive at the same time he was, making Tim his only worshipper. Danny doesn't find this out until way later, and finds the guy who technically kept him alive to thank him-only to find him about to be tortured by a clown. Danny loses his shit.

is this really worth the favor that toichi and yukiko owe you, sharon?

i personally think shinichi thanks god (shiho miyano) every day that kaito doesn't use his weird magician powers to tease him about his huge crush on ran constantly. just my opinion

Respawn had no idea who this guy was. He had woken up on the forest floor somewhere after a fight with Robin that had admittedly ended poorly for both of them.

All his wounds were bandaged and looked after. He wasn't even in pain! A rare luxury indeed. Looking over he saw a guy around his own age cooking some fish over an open flame. The other teen, as if feeling eyes on him, turned toward Respawn and smiled.

"I hope you like green onions." He said, motioning towards the plate stacked high with the vegetable, "They're the only edible thing I could find."

The day dragged on with the guy-Danny- playing nursemaid and insisting to take care of Respawn as he recovered, even going so far as to cut his food for him. Hes pretty sure Danny would have fed him himself if he had struggled anymore with handling the stick the fish was on.

Blessedly his enhanced healing factor ensured that he wasn't down for too long and he could take care of himself. He couldn't bring himself to be annoyed with Danny though. He was actually rather grateful.

When Respawn asked why Danny was out here in the wilderness he sheepishly told him about how his mad scientist parents had made a portal to another dimension and had tried to create a portal gun for portable access to said dimension. They were showing it to him, his sister and his two friends when something went wrong and the gun went off, sucking them all into the new portal. He woke up in the forest alone.

Looking back on thier past conversations, Repawn decided that it made sense. It would explain why Danny didn't know what a meta human was or that they had rights protecting them. Danny had been so excited when he had told him and immediately began using his unholy number of powers to help them survive in the wild.

Aka Danny, Jazz, Maddie, Jack, Sam, and Tucker are all thrown into the DC universe and all of them have been separated and are worried sick about the others and trying to find them

Tim finds a wierd bird and nurses it back to health. He has no idea what this bird was but it was gray and orange and refused to eat anything other than fresh fruit.

The internet was no help and he couldn't find anything that suggested it even existed. A few days later Damian tried to adopt the bird and it basically gave him the cold shoulder. Tim swears the bird understands human speech and teaches it to answer yes or no questions by hoping up and down for yes and side to side for no.

This bird just would not leave him alone. It accompanied him on patrol as Red Robin and Tim had to hide it in his pocket at work. Thankfully, it was small. RR winds up getting hurt and this little ball of feathers loses its freaking mind. It attacks Tim's opponent with fire from its wings and now the entire batfam thinks this is some sort of baby phoenix.

The fletchling in question is just wondering why there's no other pokemon in this city and what was that swirly green place with all the purple doors? And who's that white haired kid who keeps trying to sneakily capture it to "take it home"? Doesn't he know that I have a trainer now? This is my home >:[
