I'm curious. Reblog this if you know how to cook

I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat.

Grief Filled Promise

Talia appeared in the dead of night. Landing without a sound on the rooftop in front of him. They sat there in silence for what seemed like an eternity before she decided to speak.

“He's not my first child you know”  

“Hn” Surprise took over him with those words.

“If you really must know, he is my seventh.” Tailia was showing more emotion than he'd ever seen her exude.

“What happened to them” Bruce almost stepped closer to her both wanting to comfort her and knowing that she would not accept the comfort he held back.

“Only two made it out of infancy” Her face became blank as if she was trying to suppress every emotion both good and bad.  “Another son and daughter, My only daughter”

“I'm sorry”  he didn't know what to do other than apologize. He knew the grief of dead children better than he wanted to.

“Your compassion was always a gift beloved but that is not why I told you this”  This time she stepped closer. Her face showing an emotion for the first time since the start of the conversation. it was obvious she was going to start a threat. “you will keep our son safe  I can’t handle seeing more of my children buried”

“I swear to you I will keep our son safe” She didn't even have to ask.

“I know you would, I just needed you to say it” it breaks his heart that she feels the need for it to be said out loud.

Silence settled over them again as he digested exactly what she had just admitted to and her looking at his reaction to her words.

“What happened to the other two?”  Bruce asked his curiosity getting the better of him. it was only after he said it but he realized he should have stayed quiet. Another emotion showed on her face this time heartbreak.

“I don't know, I think that's what breaks my heart even more. I have hope that I can see them again but I think they'll forgive me for not looking if it means taking care of their little brother.”  He could tell that she hated every word she was saying but seemed resigned to it.

 “Were they-”  he stopped not knowing if he wanted the answer

“They weren't yours I wish they were but they were not”  He doesn't know if that answer is better or worse.

“I can look for you if you want” it's the least he can do. For all the pain that she has caused him he seems to have given it back without meaning to.

“ No, I think I want to look myself “ she seemed to take a deep breath before saying her next words “When I'm ready” she collected herself seeming to transform back into the strong Confident Woman he thought would be landing on the roof in front of him.

She stepped forward towards him as close as she could. She lifted her trying to cup his cheek and pressed a light kiss to his lips. 

“Goodbye for now Bruce”

 he seemed to blink and she was gone.

After a good reveal gone right, the Fenton Parents fail. They can't stop the GIW from nuking the Ghost Zone. They can't stop the GIW from destroying their reality or world. But they can save their kids.

The GIW are building their own portal, and no one can stop them.

The adults of Amity weren't exposed to Ecto Contaminants during their formative years. They were exposed to them once their bodies had stopped developing.

But the kids?

The Fenton kids are very Ecto Contaminated. It's a part of their blood. It forms in their bones. Danny is able to survive moreso than Jazz, due to being half ghost, but Jazz has enough in her to survive as well.

That being said, the adults wouldn't be able to survive this insane idea.

But the kids have a chance.

They knock the kids out, round them up, and hook them to life supporting cryo-stasis that are powered by Ecto. These same cryo-stasis units are also designed to be space pods, courtesy of the Fentons, because they are supposed to carry the kids to a place that the sensors deem safe.

And that might require going through a portal that opens into space.

Then they quietly fire Danny and Jazz into the Ghost Zone, hoping for the best as they dismantle their own portal.

They need to put as much distance between Danny and Jazz and the GIW's entry point as they can, after all.

Across the city, Vlad Masters takes a page out of their book and does the same. He sends Dan, who was incredibly hard to knock out, and Dani off in the same manner.

Then he, too, destroys his portal.

He thinks he can, with Maddie and...ugh, Jack's help, disrupt the GIW plan.

But just in case he fails, he sends the kids off.

~~~~~~

In a particular corn field, four shuttles, one after the other after the other, slam into the earth.

Martha Kent, from her front porch, stares at pillars of dust that got tossed into the air, her cup of coffee frozen halfway to her lips.

Well, then.

Everlasting youth has downsides to your ex

A small DP/DC promp

Danny is an never getting old, almost immortal being.

To his displeasure his body was stuck at 14. It's been there for a while now.

He sometimes hangs out with some hero's.

It just got really embarrassing when they meet some older Villain. (who is up to you)

Villain:Danniel long time no see.

Hero: You know him?

Danny: yeah that's my Ex.

Hero *shocked gasp* : "insert villains name" you are a pedophile?

Villain:we were the same age when we dated! I'm not a pedophile.

Stuff like these just happen it's very uncomfortable for all of them. But mostly for Danny's Ex.

Ancient Games

Aka idk why I spent so long rewriting the song to fit but I made it anyway.

[Shazam]

Clockwork, master of time, I beseech you to be fair

Now, i came to correct a crime in your lair

With hopes to save a world

With people who did no wrong

In the name of justice

[Clockwork]

Divine intervention, is that what you meant?

To untie apprehensions by your government?

You are playing with thunder for a world full of shame

But if they’re worth the risk of going under

(spoken)

Why not make it a game?

Convince each of them that they ought to be released

And I'll reverse the damage

[Shazam, spoken]

Who's them?

[Clockwork, spoken]

Nocturn, Frostbite

Undergrowth, Fright Knight

Pandora or me

What do you say?

[Nocturn, spoken]

Great

[Frostbite, spoken]

Vеry well

[Undergrowth, spoken]

Eh

[Fright Knight, spoken]

Alright

[Pandora, spoken]

Excellent

[Shazam, spoken]

Bring it

[ENSEMBLE]

Nocturn

[Nocturn]

You all know I'm a fan of eternal sleep

But with the prince, everybody weeps

I think Earth sowed and now they reap

[Shazam]

They didn’t understand the difference

All they did were out of ignorance

But the rest should rest in peace

To live another day and dream in bliss

[Nocturn, spoken]

If that's true, release them

[ENSEMBLE]

Frostbite

[Frostbite]

Trust is delicate like ice

Why should they not pay the price?

When they refuse to give us rights?

[Shazam]

Did you forget they failed to listen?

He (Phantom) was betrayed and then imprisoned

But if you make the right decision

We can still heal our trust with those who miss them

[Frostbite, spoken]

Fine, release them

[ENSEMBLE]

Undergrowth

[Undergrowth]

Your little high and mighty league of justice

Claims to uphold virtue, but our cries, they dismiss

[Shazam]

They were busy fighting

[Undergrowth]

More like busy spiting each other

Let them feel the pain that our prince felt and rot

[Shazam, spoken]

Wait

[Shazam]

Please reconsider this

[Fright Knight]

Really, Shazam? These old tricks?

[Shazam, spoken]

Fright Knight

[ENSEMBLE]

Fright Knight, Fright Knight

[Fright Knight]

What kind of sick coward holds back their power

While our prince gets devoured?

They didn't even fight Waller, didn't even try to kill her

Hides inside a watchtower to get the job done

Never handles things upfront

Pathetic and weak without your sun

[Shazam]

Hold your tongue now, Superman's my friend

And tell Undergrowth that this isn’t the stories end

You want more justice? Then set them free

To get back to our world, where their fates are guaranteed

[Undergrowth & Fright Knight, spoken]

Ugh, release them

[Pandora, spoken]

Hey, hero

[ENSEMBLE]

Pandora

[Pandora]

So many heroes, so many tales

Give me one good reason why yours should prevail

[Shazam]

He's got the mind of a genius (Batman)

[Pandora]

Try harder

[Shazam]

He's pretty skilled with words (Superman)

[Pandora]

You can do better than that

[Shazam]

He's kind of funny (Flash)

[Pandora, spoken]

Eh

[Shazam, spoken]

Wonderwoman is in our Justice League!

[Pandora, spoken]

Release them

[Shazam, spoken]

I've played your game and won, release them

[Clockwork]

You dare to defy me, to make me feel shame?

[Clockwork, spoken]

No one beats me, no one wins my game

[Clockwork & ENSEMBLE]

Timeline, watch her through it all

Show them I'm the judgment call

The one who makes their timeline fall

[Fright Knight, spoken]

Is he dead?

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Shazam]

Let them go, please

Let them go

An Ancient's Game

It started off small at first. A robbery in Metropolis. A missing persons case in Gotham. An 'accident' in Amity Park. None of it connected. Nobody thought to connect them. It was just another case after all. There would always be another case so sometimes things slipped through the cracks. It happened.

Even heroes made mistakes after all.

They overlooked things.

But in the end they messed up and someone had to pay and someone did when Clark Kent heard his wife and son’s heartbeats vanish off the face of the earth during a somewhat quiet afternoon while he was handling a disaster in France.

He was the man of steel though, he could have made it. He should have made it but he was a second too late. His family was gone and Metropolis felt the fury of the old gods as a being made of wind and storms ripped its way free of an unseen portal cackling with mad laughter as it devastated the city.

It was another distraction though.

A massive distraction that drew the Justice League's attention away from the real prize as nightmares descended on Gotham like shadows. They morphed from the darkness slipping out through the cracks like ghosts and only Oracle saw the fight as they swarmed the youngest Robin, the Dark Knight's youngest son vanishing under an endless tide of nightmares as Nocturn took control of Gotham's nightlife.

More distractions followed as more and more of the old gods, Ancient beings long forgotten returned to Earth.

Storms raged.

The ground quaked.

Creatures of myth and legend were free to run wild as reports of everything from dragons to even yetis flooded the Watchtower.

In the end it was Diana who found their first and only clue when one of her mother's messengers appeared warning them of Themyscira's fate when a portal was opened for Undergrowth deep within the island's jungles. They fought. They fell. Then they were turned into mindless puppets bent to the monster's will as the sounds of war subsided into silence within a matter of days.

Her losses gave them a name.

Undergrowth, a creature of the green who cheered the being known as Clockwork while Constantine explained its origin.

He told them of Cronos, of the pieces of him that had formed into a new life deep within the endlessness of Infinity.

And Fate opened the way.

The first thing the gathered heroes saw was a massive clocktower surrounded by gears and pistons twisting in every direction as they spilled out into an endless void. Each tenth of a second, the hands on the clocktower click one step forward.

A single tooth on one of the smaller gears is easily the size of the Watchtower and no matter how far anyone looked there was no beginning or end to the clocktower.

There was nothing except the click, click, click of endless clocks as they stormed the Titan's lair.

Nothing stopped them.

There were no enemies or traps.

In fact the doors were left wide open as if welcoming the Justice League inside and they soon discovered why when Shazam found them. Superboy stood on a scale across from Luthor, the same with Robin and Waller. They were frozen in time, trapped in a single second of a moment while in the very middle of the massive room was a kid, easily Jon's double sleeping on a throne made out of the void of space but that wasn't what had him worried.

What worried him was the silence, the sudden nothingness in his mind as the voices of the gods empowering him faded away in the presence of the cloaked figure of Cronos suddenly standing beside the throne.

Even as the other heroes flooded into the room he couldn't hear anything besides a soft click, click, click as Superman was waved away forced into a loop of repetition that began and ended with his first step forward.

Green Lantern fell next, rapidly aged into an old man unable to match a Titan's will.

Then Constantine collapsed clutching an invisible wound on his chest. It was his contracts forcing him to obey while Fate eventually faded under time's cold embrace.

There were only a few heroes left when Flash made a move blitzing the throne only to suddenly lose his speed. The others simply glitched, like static on an old tv leaving only Shazam, J'onn and surprisingly Lois Lane standing in front of Cronos as he declared a game to decide Earth's continued existence.

'Convince each of them you're worth another chance and I'll restore everything.'

'Who's them?'

I don't really know what I was going with here. I was just listening to some of the songs from Epic and figured why not let an enraged Clockwork have some fun. I'm blaming Vlad for everything cause I can and he's done it before and caused a ton of problems for everyone else so I'm just picturing something he did or tried to do backfiring badly enough that Danny got seriously hurt so now everyone's gotta pay.

the Dannies being the Mean Girls of Gotham Academy

Dan being forced to go to Gotham Academy after he starts living with Vlad.  Dan comes back for winter break talking about Gotham Academy and accidentally convinces the Fenton parents to send Danny there as well. this ends up with Danny going to Gotham Academy with a vendetta against Dan.  

Dan looks a lot like Danny and has mentioned that they are technically family making people think that they are twins. They do the thing where they group twins together so when Dan does something like decide that a space is his or that he doesn't like a person everyone treats it like Danny doesn't either. 

Due to everyone being afraid of Dan, no one really wants to talk to Danny.  Danny tries not to let it go to his head that people are afraid of him; he does get a little catty when people try to get to Dan through him. 

Dani ends up catching wind of what's going on and starts going to Gotham Academy too. It takes about one school year to get everything settled but in the end all three of them become basically the Mean Girls of Gotham Academy. 

The next year after all of the Danny shenanigans Damian Wayne is transferred to Gotham Academy.

Tim has a secret that no one can ever know.

Not only for his safety, but for everyones.

He wasn't entirely unsuccessful in making a Kon clone. He'd snapped and added his own DNA to the mix, and created a test-tube baby. Two people DNA were involved, so it...he, wasn't a clone.

And Tim wasn't in a good place. He was a teenager, he had too many enemies, Bruce was gone, Bart was gone, his dad was gone, Kon was gone, Cassie was in a cult; he could not take care of this kid.

Nor could he terminate him.

He couldn't give him to Clark either. Not because he was worried about how Clark would treat the boy; the Super had never actually had an issue with Kon being a clone in general, just had issues with...well, literally everything else.

He couldn't give the baby to Clark because he didn't want to see the disgust on Clark's face. He didn't want to let Clark know how far he'd fallen.

So he did a few tests, and the baby didn't display any signs of super powers. Good. That meant that either the Kryptonian blood was too diluted to do anything, or that his powers would come in later.

Next, he hacked a few adoption agencies.

He was looking for a meta couple, or just one meta, that had a form of enhanced or super strength. Someone that could teach the kid when and if those powers came in. On that note, they had to be at least slightly unhinged; this kid had half of Tim's DNA, after all. He'd need a couple that could keep up.

He found them.

Only one couple matched his requirements.

Jack and Madeline Fenton, currently searching for a child of any age group. They were slotted to be denied due to "a concerning tendency to invent things akin to that which a Mad Scientist would make" and also a lack of and provable income, as they relied on sporadic grants.

Easy.

Tim altered the record, looked into their family history, named the kid Daniel after one of their grandparents, and set up a grant to be awarded to the Fentons every year.

It would be enough to cover any and all living and experimental expenses.

Then, it was a matter of dropping Daniel off with the very confused but easily bribable corrupt Social Worker he'd found.

He'd keep an eye on Daniel, and if there ever was an actual flair up of Kryptonian powers...well.

Tim would have to be ready to explain things, he supposed.

~~~~~~~

Years later, Danny is glaring as Vlad steals his blood to try to make more clones.

Nothing is working, he can't get away, and Vlad's absolutely gonna fuck it up again and he's gonna have to watch some poor clone melt. Vlad thinks that he's solved it, that if he has a copy of his parents DNA to compare his to, that he'll know what to artificially replace, and that it'll resolve the melting issue and help stabilize the clone.

Except.

Vlad's computer dings.

"Warning, the DNA sample provided does not match the supporting sample taken by the father and mother. Please find the biological match."

Well.

That was one hell of a way to find out he was adopted.

Dead on Main time travel with a mom Danny twist.

Jason calls in a favor from someone on the justice league dark team for help with a case that got magical. the person sends him Danny. it goes well. they're both working very professionally. something happens and they end up back in time in their younger bodies.

Both of them are in the same city that they were working the case on. They are far away from home but Jason is 15 a few months before he finds out about his bio mom and Danny at this time is incubating Dan and Ellie's cores.

Neither of them quite realize the repercussions of what's Happening. The two of them team up to try and get back home. What the two of them don't realize is Danny's friends and family have no idea where he is though they are less worried than the bat family who fully believe Jason is kidnapped.

The two of them go on adventure trying to dodge any local heroes or villains. Eventually the two of them are able to get into contact with Clockwork and Clockwork tells them that they have altered this timeline too much for them to go back. 

The two of them angst about that until they have to get forced out of that because they run into a local hero. I want to say one of the Titans that work with Nightwing because then they recognize Jason but have no reason to know that he's missing.

the two of them then realize that because they're in their younger bodies everyone has no idea where they are. This is when Danny realizes that at that age he is incubating Dan and Ellie which makes him try to split off from Jason.

As Danny's trying to figure out a way to tell Jason what's going on Jason realizes that Danny is getting really sick or at least he thinks is really sick. He's getting tired more easily than before and keeps throwing up. Jason originally thought it was due to stress of the situation but it becomes more and more clear that it is not. They end up having a confrontation which leads to Danny telling him that they are basically pregnant. 

Jason tells Danny that they are not leaving them, especially not after everything that happened. The two of them decide together where to go. The two of them end up deciding the only places that they can go are Amity park or Gotham because of the ambient ectoplasm.

They can go to Amity Park except last time Danny was there it was a bad Fenton parents reveal which led to both Dan and Ellie dead with jazz wheelchair bound as well as Sam and Tucker in comas.

 Or

they could go to Gotham except Jason is probably presumed missing. Having Wayne and bat family connection is probably best for them except for Jason having a falling out in the last timeline as well as knowing that he is supposed to be dead in a few weeks. Jason knows that his death is a major turning point for his family as well as many other things in the timeline.

don't you want to be a cult leader? - danyal al ghul au

this is mostly a joke post but i thought it was funny and had to share so--

his first mistake was, obviously, inheriting his father's inability to see an injustice and stand still. -- actually, danyal's first mistake was his lair being so big. a mountainous island with a large temple in the center resembling his old home in Nanda Parbat? With sprawling foliage and rivers and streams and waterfalls galore? What was he going to do with all that space? Let it go to waste? He had plants there! Native trees of the ghost zone growing from the soil! He couldn't let it all be left unchecked!

So naturally after helping a fellow teenage assassin ghost -- who he later learns is named Akihiko, -- from Walker of all people, he sent them over to hang low at his lair until it was safe enough for them to wander around the Zone. Walker couldn't get through Danyal's astrofield if his life depended on it, and trust him -- he's tried. Danny was clearing out debris from his stupid transport vans for weeks.

Honestly it wasn't so bad, he and Aki really quickly became fast friends and Danny loves having a sparring partner close to his level again -- he hasn't had this much fun fighting since he left the League. Aki was very dedicated and levelheaded, the both of them clicked really well because of it.

Nonono, the real trouble began after Danyal met some long-passed League members and allowed them to come join his island as well. Apparently they had made a few enemies of the zone, and maybe Danyal still felt some loyalty to the League. He couldn't just let them be left to rot. Their zealotry could be overlooked so long as they kept it contained and helped him take care of his island.

And it.. snowballs from there? He meets a teen squire aptly calling himself Ambroise -- whether that was his living name or not is yet to be seen -- who died during feudal france, who is just about as dramatic and passionate as every french stereotype makes them out to be. He calls Danyal "my moon and great muse" -- which is both flattering and little uncomfortable, but Danyal's grown up in the League as the Grandson of the Demon Head, he is used to mild worship. he passes it off as nothing more, nothing less. -- and while his energy is overwhelming on the worst of days, he helps Danny draw out of his shell more in ways that Sam and Tucker still struggle with.

Him and Aki butt heads a lot, but the two seem to hold the other in at least some positive regard, so Danny doesn't worry too much about them fighting while he's gone. It only becomes a mild issue when Aki also begins calling Danny "my moon". It's a little sweet, so Danyal brushes it off.

Then he takes in a troupe of ghosts some time after he defeats Pariah Dark and they begin calling him "great one" just as the yetis do in the far frozen. This is where he meets the twins -- a pair of sibling ghosts who call themselves Trixie and Missy (short for Trick and Mislead) -- who aren't quite as passionate as Ambroise but more energetic than Aki. Eventually they also start calling Danyal "my moon" and attach themselves to his hip, even within the living. They like to hide in his shadow and cause trouble for the rest of the students. He makes sure they don't hurt anyone.

He's pretty sure Aki is jealous, same with Ambroise, but he can't be too certain other than the fact that they become much more lingering (re: clingy) whenever he visits the island.. Something he's trying to do much more often these days due to the increasing amount of people living there now. Since when did he become so popular?

Then there's Pēnelópeia from the Greater Athens, who ran away from home and joined his Island after he ran into her while she was being chased by Skulker -- and he's pretty sure the reason was because of her chimeric appearance. Her strange eyes and mismatched wings and lion's tail and talons. She assimilates into his friend group very easily, she gets along well with Ambroise and Trixie and Danny usually finds the three of them climbing the trees to pluck the most fruit from the top. They can fly and he knows it, but they prefer to climb.

Then finally there's silent and stony poet Arthur who comes from similar feudal England, who gets along most with Aki -- which is no surprise there considering their similar personality dispositions. he watches Aki and Danyal fight each other and leaves comments on this or that that he notices. He writes Danyal poems and leaves them by his room.

They're one big mismatched group of outcasts, and Danny's got the other ghosts on his island to tend to, because they're living on his island and he wants to be hospitable even if he struggles with that. But he spends the most of his time with them.

Sam and Tucker are making fun of him. Tucker jokingly tells him 'careful Danny, at this rate you're gonna start a cult'. Danny really wishes he had taken that joke more seriously.

He just. keeps. collecting people. Wayward souls lost in the zone, looking for shelter or refuge from something or other -- whether that be another hostile ghost, or a past afterlife, or just a purpose. Danyal finds them, he takes them in, offers them a place on his island until they are ready to leave. Many seldom do. He's not complaining -- he has the space, and it feels like it's only ever growing.

His close friends, his "inner circle" as he's heard the others call them, keep insistently calling him "my moon". He starts calling them his stars, because then it only feels fair. They're his stars, this is his constellation. It becomes a thing; little star halos begin forming behind their heads, picking them out from the rest. He loves them so much, it's hard to place. Sam and Tucker are also his stars, but they reside in the living realm, they're his tie to Life. Meanwhile, his friends here know what it's like to be dead, and sometimes its nice to relate.

Those living on his island keep calling him "Great One" and he's beginning to notice zealotry in their care for his island. He really, deeply appreciates it. His close friends gain nicknames -- as his stars, it's only natural for him to pick them out from the cluster in the skies. Akihiko, his Sirius and bright star. Trix and Missy, Castor and Pollux, the twins and troublemakers. Ambroise, his zealous Antares and close friend. Penelopeia, chimeric and loyal Vega. And Arthur, his Arcturus and strength.

It's ridiculous how long it takes for him to notice; he is, of course, a deadly trained assassin. He is meant to be observant -- and normally he is! But somehow this becomes a blind spot. One that becomes too big to be dealt with by the time he realizes it.

He should've noticed when Aki, his Sirius, stood beside him one day while Danyal looked over his island and saw the sprawling spirits carrying on about their afterlife and bowing to him as they saw him, and said: "I looked down into the depths when I met you; I couldn't measure it." They aren't one for flowing prose, it took him so off guard he was silent for over a minute before he finally spoke.

Danyal should've recognized devotion for what it is, and yet he didn't. He should've recognized it when Antares began spouting praises about him, crowing about his radiance and resplendence to the heavens. He just brushed it off as Ambroise being Ambroise. He should've recognized it when Trix and Missy nearly broke Dash's leg after he knocked Danyal's books out of his hands, he excused it as them being protective. Of them coming from times where such violence may have been customary -- after all, that's what he used to be like. What he was still like, sometimes, when his emotions nearly got the better of him.

He should've noticed it when the people living on his island followed his word like gospel, looked at him like he hung the stars in the sky. When his friends gifted him a shawl with the moon phases delicately embroidered into it, with silver, shimmering thread and moving stars lovingly stitched into it. Their constellations seen clear as day in the dark fabric. When he found small shrines dedicated to him -- but they lacked any image of him beyond stones carved to look like moons, so he ignored it. When the religious imagery began popping up.

He really, really should've noticed it when a bunch of cultists accidentally summoned Antares, and Antares had turned to him when he arrived and called them heretics. But he was so centered on the fact that they had kidnapped one of his stars, that he hadn't paid much attention to what Ambroise had said.

Sages say that faith is blind, they should also say faith in you is even blinder.

It really only hits him one afternoon while he's sitting in Sam's room studying with Tucker, Missy and Trixie lounging at his feet, Aki sat on his right, Penelopeia braiding his hair, Ambroise draped against him, and Arthur lurking over him. Its one of the rare few times they're all in one room together.

It hits him like a bolt of lightning. He looks up from his textbook. "Oh Ancients," he says in no amounting shock. Everyone looks up to him.

"I've become my grandfather."

Clockwork was in the middle of mentoring Danny about his Duty as High King leading him by his shoulders before he felt a awful core wrenching pain before he quite literally pulled through the afterlife and back into the living. Pt 1

Now Clockwork haven't been alive for an awful Long Long time since he was beaten and killed by his Children during his madness phase, so suddenly awakening in a sacrificial alter, the feeling of gravity weighing him down, eyes blurring, ears ringing with a loud noise that kept going badump ba dump as he was experiencing what possible the worst tremendous sensitivity overload of being brought back from the very dead and into brand new mortal flesh.

The Justice League and dark Justice were in the middle of stopping the forbidden ritual from some crazed Cultists who somehow found the skull, some of wonder women's blood, ancient artifacts of time belonging Kronos could only stood frozen in shock to see in horror and a bit of mesmerized fascination.

As the skull began to glow a ominous greenish blue glow of Magic form by blood then bones, muscle then flesh with very very long black hair that kept going down while the rest began quickly making a neck, a chest, arms, and the rest of the remaining of the naked body.

What the cultists didn't expect at all was Kronos's new body was a women due to the misread of a certain someone who thought the blood of the main head descendants of Greek meant wonder women and not a male descendants. Along with a much more different oopsy was the gasping little naked toddler that was looking wide eyed gasping heavily at the suddenly drag along as he being held tightly by the now Female Kronos's arms.

DPxDC #3 A Tale of Two Jacks.

What if Jack Fenton and Jack Drake were alternate universe versions of each other?

Things diverged a few generations back when the nightingales stayed true to their Monster hunter roots in the DP universe, but in the DC universe took the treasure from monsters lairs to build the family fortune and branch out into other businesses. And the last name changed to Drake a few generations before the other universe changed to Fenton. Also all the really powerful magical artifacts and weapons were hidden away in a secret basement Jack didn’t get around to showing Tim before he died.

Oh and I guess this sort of makes Tim and Danny counterparts. Though not quite as the Jacks each married a different woman. So half brothers, if you squint? Eh whatever.

Anyway this was inspired by @dcxdpdabbles prompt. https://www.tumblr.com/gaddaboutgriffon/756909205456388096/wait-isnt-tims-dad-also-named-jack-of-we-could

Tumblr
Wait. Isn’t Tim’s dad also named Jack? Of we could shift this a bit to the left and have Danny be like a half brother to Tim. Jack and Jack

Where a Deaged to about 5ish years old Danny gets sent to Tim drake to take care of until it is safe for him to return to his home universe. This leads to a misunderstanding that Danny is Tim’s baby half brother. The DNA test would support it if Danny’s dna wasn’t all scrambled by the ghost zone portal.

So how do you guys think this all plays out?

Can You Hold This For Me?

Jason is enamored as he watches a beautiful red head lady beat the shit out of the mugger that got too close for her liking.

He was on his way to the local book store to find a good read when he saw a woman with her month old baby being stalked by a man who was obviously hiding a knife in his pocket. Jason immediately crossed the street to put himself between them and the mugger when all of a sudden the man got a little closer and the woman executed a perfectly good roundhouse kick to the man's head while keeping her baby secure.

After the man's body bounced in the alley and hit a trash can she turned to Jason with a brilliant smile that did something to his resurrected heart.

"Can you hold this for me?" She asked before simply putting the baby in Jason's arms before he could reply.

She then proceeded to pick the man up, who was twice her size, and flung him further into the alley before running up to finish her beat down.

A noise brought his attention from the woman to the baby in his arms who was now up and cooing at him curiously.

"Your mom's hot."

Anchor

Tim Danny knew he would go far for family but it wasn't until now that he realized how far he literally would go.

Danny looked at the positive pregnancy test on the bathroom counter and tried to stop his tears both the joyful tears and the ones of anger.

He hates Vlad now more than ever for how he never decided to stabilize Dani. Even now that Danny is no longer Danny Vlad’s mistakes will still come back to bite him. 

Dani's decision to help Danny figure out what was going on ended up with her almost dying. Her core would have been destroyed if Danny had been a second later. 

Everyone's pretending things are back to normal.

Danny now has to figure out ways to hide this and how exactly he's going to tell anyone. The obvious answer is to not tell anyone and go into hiding, but after everything that happened someone's going to come look which means Danny is going to have to hide in plain sight.

Sometimes Danny regrets trying to help because in the end all it got him his throat slit, his entire identity ripped away and assassination attempts in his own home. Danny has no idea why he thought it would be any different now that Bruce is back.

Jason is barely civil with the family.

Dick has left the second he no longer has to be Batman. 

Stephanie has joined Cass and Hong Kong.  

Barbara is only talking to people when she's on Oracle Duty.

Damien is one bad Mission away from trying to kill him again. 

That's not even mentioning Bruce who is just living in ignorance that everything has not gone awry.

Denial is a strong thing. 

Danny doesn't even know why they agree to this. well they do know but they don't know why they didn't talk it out first.

they'd gotten quite good at getting all the logistics before they do something rash but they'll always be a Fenton running head first. All they want is for Dani to be safe after everything that happened; they are all secondary to Dani's well-being.

Danny forgot how unconditional love felt they are not going to lose the one person who cared about them

Can't Love An Anchor

Inspired by: Anchor by @hello-eden

While Tim was relieved to have Bruce back in his proper place and everyone safe and exactly where they were supposed to be, it really only served to remind him that they were all horribly unreliable and that he would not be able to trust these people with something so important as his beloved Dani, the daughter of his very soul. She had gone to all the trouble of helping him in his new incarnation to the point of becoming so injured that the only way to save her was to incubate her core and he would not be taking any sort of chances with her safety. Not again, not with them. At least with Bruce back and things relatively back to normal he could trust that Gotham would remain in one piece while he was gone.

Tim sighed, his mortal body heavy and exhausted with the sudden pregnancy and the lack of proper nutrition and sleep as he worked hard to gather together the things he needed to return to the Infinite Realms. He wouldn’t stay for his whole mortal life of course, but he would need an actually safe space to incubate his clone child. He really couldn’t risk Dani on a vigilante mission or getting sucked into some dangerous what-not in Gotham. It would suck and kind of drive him a little crazy but he needed to detach until he could give birth to Dani and get back into the lifestyle again. Though things would have to change a lot after Dani came; she would also be half-mortal after all and he would need to actually raise her himself this time. Their relationship would be much closer than the “cousins” they had settled for in their first lives together.

Tim could admit if only to himself that he was actually looking forward to having a family again. Before his memories had come back he had desperately, to an embarrassing degree really, been hoping that the Wayne's would be that family. But being reunited with Dani he could have his own real family! She would be his daughter this time and though he wasn’t Danny Fenton anymore, with this reincarnation she also wouldn’t be Danielle Phantom anymore! She would be Danielle Drake, he already had it all planned out. He was so excited, not so much about having to go through the nightmare of teen pregnancy, but Dani was back! The only way it would be better would be if Jazz could join him in the mortal world.

Being Tim Drake had been a lot lonelier than being Danny Fenton ever had been. Until he had regained his memories of his life and death as Danny Fenton, Tim hadn’t really realized just how lonely he had been. He missed his best friends, he missed his family, hell he even missed Dan. Which was its own can of worms. But still, Tim had many new plans for this shift in his life. He may not have any support in the mortal world but he would be returning to the Infinite Realms and at least by going to the Infinite for protection and hiding out he could be reunited with Jazz and even Sam and Tucker. He wondered how their Lairs had developed while he was gone. It would be nice to get to talk to them again.

The reality of it was that with Tim’s previous life and death’s memories restored his view of the bat “family” and his own relationships with each of them individually had shifted down to a fundamental level and he just couldn’t view them in the same way he had before he had “woken up”. So when Tim managed to make all his arrangements and gather everything he needed; he hadn’t even thought to inform them of what was going on and where exactly he would be going. In fact, the most he had done was send a company email explaining a sudden leave of absence due to health concerns and a brief letter he was sure that Bruce would eventually come across once he needed help again. It had a list of numbers and resources to contact for assistance and access to one of his better AI systems to help with any cases they happened to get stuck on.

Tim was hoping they wouldn’t actually need him for the next year or so. He wanted to be sure Dani was strong enough for a nanny by the time he needed to start working again. He was on the fence about retiring as a vigilante entirely until Dani was old enough. He wondered if she would want to become his sidekick; that might be fun! Oh, but his heart couldn’t bear it if she got hurt this badly again. Tim put those speculations aside so that he could focus on making a new portal gun so that he could get back into the Infinite, it had been ages since he’d used ectoplasm in his tech. It was quite fun to work on proper ghost tech again! The gun didn’t even take him all that long, so much for all that unnecessary prep work!

Still, as that swirling green sparked into existence in the middle of his safe house living room and the comforting chill of the Infinite Realms spilled into the room and across his very soul Danny…Tim breathed in deeply and felt the first comforting chill of coming home wash over him, his steps firm and steady as he walked into that endless green. The shift from one realm to the next might have disoriented anyone else, but Tim only felt at last like all the weight of his human life had been lifted as vast green skies opened up in his vision and a towering castle like observatory tower welcomed him back.

“Welcome home Danny, you’re early.” A gentle teasing voice greeted him as the green portal collapsed behind him.

Tim Drake-Wayne left behind only a farewell letter, a bare safe house, his resources, and a positive pregnancy test in the trash.

The wrong DNA test

( what if, Sheila wasn't really Jason's mother? The system is already corrupted, then what about the test?).

A huge brawl containing every rogue had started at the time of Halloween, causing the people from downtown to fled there home's as joker had clownized the whole neighborhood with his goon's.

Every bats had taken to groups to take out the three parts of Gotham's as the rogue's had started to make alliances, some had lasted quite long while had conflicts, and causing a big damage to Arkham asylum,

It didn't take long before they captured all of them, none of the bats questions as they observed Jason glowing green eyes starting to flick, they thought it was the pit again, growing wary of the cooperation, but Crime alley was involved and that mean business to Red hood's turf.

Catherine todd love her son as her own even if not biological, Jason knew that. But her thing with drugs couldn't make her stop.

Sometimes after that, they could hear Jason humming a tune,a nice melody from Damian's statement saying that Jason muttered to him “ lullaby” as Jason continued to read his book, maybe it could be from Catherine,

they knew how Jason's past with Catherine todd, his mom even if not related, Catherine loves her son like her own kid but her doing drugs and... overdosing couldn't be stop.

Maybe Jason just remembered his mother maybe reminiscing atleast something familiar...even if it was a bad time.

Jason had constantly have been hearing a woman's? Man's? Voice, singing him a lullaby...it soothing, like as if he known and loved this melody...and that's where the dreams kept coming, there was a person, giving him kisses, Talkin to him stories, singing him lullabies and soothing him, he could dream that he was actually a baby, a baby from a normal couple, well don't count the luxurious baby room.

Jason had took out a conspiracies why he was getting this dreams, ( he swears he's not becoming Tim) and voices, maybe like a misshapen memories from the pits of victims? No it's to peaceful for that, maybe magic? He already contacted Constantine but surely hang up after knowing who it was-

Just how is he getting this dreams? Unless it wasn't.... So he proved again his point, he started a DNA test, again but none had records...of Sheila being his biological mother...that was weird, last time he had a test was from the time as robin..and before his-

So he went to that hospital who had said where Sheila had given birth to him, and most of shock is that no one knows a mother giving birth named Sheila haywood but had a document of a baby, of one Jason jay nightingale, the most believing part was that it's the same day he was born in.

His mother, Daniel F. Nightingale was said to be trans as the doctor who help his mother safely delivered him, And saying that his mother loved him,

one Sheila Haywood had the constant trick to get him and taken him as his own, because his mother's family was a wealthy one they practically sold him to her.

Jason had thought that maybe his mother's family never wanted him to have a son with a man from Gotham's crime alley.

Meanwhile Danny had just been YEETED to the DC universe before the start of Batman's justice thing and had been adopted by a very wealthy fruit loops couple as there kid, so he stayed as the couples daughter even pretending, because he owed ghost writer a favor for the last time, and as DC universe exist so it's story, and one thing for sure the child he had to give birth in this universe has a very complicated fate,

he did the one night stand from his supposed friend Willis Todd? He had to befriend him as Dalia F. nightingale the supposed Wealthy daughter who fell in love with a peasant trope, and gotten pregnant making it a scandal, and reaching to his ‘parents’ circle and getting that drama.

But he never thought he would care for his child, his little jay, his ghost side would purr in delight when they held Jason, he was a very hard sucker especially from his pacifier or his breast, it's so weird being in a women body,

but the way his ‘parents’ sold his son to the women who was supposed to get his son killed and being revived by cheap parody ass of ectoplasm.

He went feral, he had an argument to his ‘parents’ but all fell deaf ears, he couldn't find his son in one of the hotels nearby where that BXtch was.

And that time was where his part of the script was fulfilled, ghost writer already took him, both sides of his, were angry.

He. will. get. his. baby. back.
