Wayne Manor Galas Were Known Well Among The Socialites Of Gotham City. As Amazing As They Were, They

Wayne Manor Galas were known well among the socialites of Gotham City. As amazing as they were, they were also very unpredictable.

It was common for these events to be crashed by various villains, but also Bruce Wayne’s own children.

Whether it be a child hanging from the rafters, strays being invited in when backs were turned, or much more.

Although, as the kids have aged, the events have been much more tamed nowadays. Even as new faces appeared among Wayne manor with every passing day.

One thing the regular guests were used to was Bruce Wayne’s dad face. The look that graced his features anytime his children did something that would require discipline. Something he never did in front of his guests.

No one expected to see that look this time around. Not because Bruce’s children weren’t there, but because it wasn’t on his face.

For the first time, Bruce was on the end his guests usually were.

Watching as none other than Vlad Masters stared up at his chandelier with a look that could send anyone six feet under.

A child that wasn’t his, although he looked like he could be, was settled up on the chandelier. The structure shaking and swinging with his movements.

There was a strange sort of limbo as the guests alike tried to figure out what to do.

Vlad seemed a little out of his depths on how to handle the situation.

So Bruce did the one thing that always worked for him. When he needed a quick fix, because lectures and conversations can happen when there isn’t so many prying eyes.

Bargain or bribe.

“If you need a place to burn off some energy, I’m more than happy to escort you to our gym.”

It took a little more to actually get the kid to come down. Bruce learned his name was Danny, and the mention of Dick’s gymnastic set up, the teen suddenly seemed very interested.

Even as Bruce smiled, regarded his guests to go back to enjoying the event, and moved to lead the fidgeting teen away, he felt it.

The distinct feeling of eyes on him. Not just watching like many of his guests still did. No, instead glaring.

There was no doubt in his mind it was Vlad Masters.

He’ll be sure to catch Vlad before he leaves, after all he’s got plenty of advice for a first time dad.

Headcanon:

Spectra being Spectra, she doesn’t really care about things like the Holiday Truces, and is wanted in many parts of the Ghost Zone for attacking an even outright killing other ghosts by destroying their cores during truces.

However, Spectra can be seen with several other ghosts including Walker (the person that enforces the rules of that entire section of the zone and definitely wants a dangerous ghost like Spectra captured at all costs) and Skulker (a literal Bounty Hunter) during a Christmas Truce and no one pays any attention to her.

And I headcanon that as being because they don’t know that that’s Spectra. She’s taken a new form that only Danny actually knows about (since he saw her acquire it in the first place), barely anyone even knew what her previous form looked like and she regularly uses fake names. Even her current name of Penelope Spectra is a pseudonym. Danny never brought it up because he assumed that it was a part of the truce and was unaware of Spectra’s truce related crimes.

Danny: So every ghost is a part of this Christmas Truce?

Walker: Every ghost that doesn’t break it.

Danny: Even a ghost like Spectra?

Walker: Oh god no. Spectra isn’t just banned from all Holiday Truces, she’s wanted in countless parts of the Ghost Zone for truce breaking and core destruction during said truces.

Danny: But Spectra was there during the last Christmas Truce and you didn’t do anything. I even saw the two of you talking together.

Walker:

Danny’s annual holiday breakdown ft. Mariah Carey 

‘Cuz you know how much Danny loves this time of year ;P 

Danny, discovering the Lazarus pit whilst him Damian and Jason have been captured by the League of Assassins for God Knows What Reason.

Danny, seeing the green pool: (Thinking) Ooh, that looks so familiar. I investigate.

Jason: Danny, stop. What the fuck are you doing.

Danny, crawling over to the pool whilst tied up: Just looking, calm your tits.

Jason, panicking and trying to untie himself: Danny, get away from there, right now.

Damian, rolling his eyes: Your struggling is futile. As much as I dislike Daniel, he is not stupid enough to-

Danny, sticks hand in: ….

Jason:….

Damian:…

Danny: Ouch, that fucking stings. I fix.

Lazarus pool vanishes

Danny: Much better. Now where were we?

Jason and Damian: The Fuck-

You know, if Danny had his accident when his parents weren't home and they ended up knowing about it, they'd probably never leave his butt home alone/without supervision again.

"Why does your 16yo son need a babysitter?"

"Oh, we left him home alone once when he was 14. He played with a piece of high voltage equipment and nearly fried himself."
