Meanwhile, Danny Is Regretting Ever Taking That Cooking Class. He Should Have Waited Until After He Moved

Meanwhile, Danny is regretting ever taking that cooking class. He should have waited until after he moved out, or maybe ask Tuck if he could use he's kitchen. But no, he went ahead and fought reanimated food with the microphone open!

What does the other ones in the call even think that happened? It's not like "oh, he's fighting reanimated food" is the logical conclusion. He hopes they're deciding to ignore it, like must Amity people have done with every red flag he's shown.

He's never taking online classes again, he's never cooking again, takeout food is good enough.

I am trying to find a writing prompt from last year.

Basically Jason Todd teaching an online cooking class, that Danny Fenton is trying to learn from but keeps accidentally reanimating the ingredients and one day he forgets to turn off the microphone as he has to kill the reanimate fish. And Jason is then going to investigate what the heck fighting he just heard.

If anyone knows and has the link to it . Please repost it here. If not feel free to make up what you would think happens next here.

I think one of you guys reposted it. @arzuera @azulhood @bianca-hooks123 @dragonsrequiem @dcxdpdabbles @evilminji @fightmebissh @flamingpudding @hdgnj @hypewinter @im-totally-not-an-alien-2 @ourrechte-blog @starlightcat04 @stormikitty @zylev-blog

"Bruce, please. I know parents loose perspective when it comes to their own children, but most of these are adults!"

"The only one that's still a minor is Damian." - Added a man with pale skin who probably just reach his 20's.

"I'm leaving." - Danny said, turning to leave the Manor.

"Common Danny, I can't possibly leave them unsupervised." - All the "kids" glared at Bruce, not that Danny could blame them for it. - "And Alfred is on vacation, your my only option."

Danny pinched his nose and then turned to look at the youngest - "How old are you?"

"14. I am completely capable of taking care of myself. This whole ordeal is unnecessary. You can leave." - Said the kid crossing his arms.

Danny gave Bruce an unimpressed look but Bruce just said - "Danny, someone has to look out for them while I'm gone, please. You owe me one."

"And I can't believe your using it for this." - Danny said exasperated. - "Okay, sure, whatever, I'll babysit your teen and adult children. If this is what you want to spent your favor on, then go ahead."

"Thank you Danny. Kids, behave yourself with Danny." Said Bruce as he left the room with his luggage.

Danny could see how all the "kids" in the room rolled their eyes, and he was sure a girl whispered "we're not even his kids, what are we doing here?" to another girl in a wheelchair. Danny limited himself to a long sight.

"Okay." Danny turned to look at the young adults and the teen in the room. "I guess presentation are in order. My name is Danny Nightingale, and I'm a distant relative of your... Father, parental figure and/or adult that looks out for you(?). As it seems, I was left in charge of keeping you from bringing the city down in flames."

"It's always good to meet new family! I'm Richard Grayson, but, you can call me Dick. I will be staying at the manor for a couple of days, but, I actually live at Bludhaven right now so..." - A man that seemed to be in his mid twenties said. He most be the optimistic of the family, Danny thought as he nodded to him.

"My name is Damian Wayne and as I said before, your assistance is not required here Nightingale, it would be better if you leave." - The kid said taking his attention from Dick.

"Pleasure Damian, unfortunately, I do owe your father a favor, so I will be staying."

"Tt"

The kid may be the one that give him the must trouble, which is annoying since he's one of the few he does need to keep a close eye to. Danny already wants to go back to his lair.

"Well, I'm Stephanie, this one here is Barbara. We both are not Bruce's kids, so you can forget about us after we leave."

"You both spent enough time here to be consider his kids. If we can not scape the babysitter, you can't do it either." - The one who had pointed out that Damian was the only minor before said.

"Common Tim, my own father living with me at the moment. I already have a more adult adult looking out for me, so this babysitting can't possibly apply for me by definition."

The three of them started bantering and Danny turned his look to the girl standing beside them. She nodded and pointing at herself said - "Cassandra. Cass."

Danny nodded back, then turned to look to the only 2 that still hadn't presented themselves.

"Um, I'm Duke, and no offense dude, but, I'm pretty sure I'm to old for a babysitter."

"I know, I know, I also think you're to old for this." - Danny said while rubbing the back of his neck - "and you?"

"Jason. I have my own apartment, so don't bother "looking out" for me. I can't believe the old man called me for this shit."

The summary of the introductions: We don't want you here. Danny's starting to wonder if the favor he owns Bruce really is worth this. He was expecting to be call for some kind of magical/ghost problem, or maybe some world ending catastrophe. Isn't that what you call your cousin who also happens to be the king ghost for?

Danny took one more long breath.

"Okay, so, let's just talk ground rules and contact info." - Everyone is looking at him like they can't believe he actually said that, but well, he was left in charge after all. - "I'll be managing the kitchen since I've been told more than half of you are banned from it. Don't get yourself killed, don't get other people killed, don't make anything that would get the police, the firefighters, or an ambulance involved. You know, the basics."

More than a couple of the "kids" snorted, and Stephanie got close to Tim and whispered in his ear - "Great, we have to play normal civilians in front of our babysitter."

And really, Danny which they would. He would prefer don't getting involve in their vigilante life of Gotham. He already solved all his vigilante business long ago, and the king business is enough on his plate, but then again, that's the real reason why he's babysitting adults.

"For your night life," - Everyone freeze at the mention. - "I won't be joining you on patrol, but I'll be on the cave and manage any medical emergency. Y'all need to get a general check up after your patrol, it's not optional, but I'm sure Alfred has already told ya that. Dick, do you debrief on your apartment on Bludhaven?"

"... Um, yeah... Who-"

"Great, I'll be there for your own checkups when you go back." Danny snapped his fingers and pisces of paper appeared in front of everyone. "There's my phone number and my summon sigil. For the summon sigil you just need to hold it and call for Phantom, and I'll be there. Well, that's about it, you can go do whatever you want."

Danny was ready to disappear in the hallway and go for his bedroom in the Manor, which he hadn't seen in a decade or so, but he's sure it's still the same. Unfortunately, the kids suddenly seen really interested in keeping him in the same room as them.

Bruce has to go off-world for something since he does not trust his children to not destroy Gotham while he is gone, he calls up his cousin to watch the kids. (Grown up) Danny shows up and has to wrangle his cousin’s children. Danny is full-on expected to be babysitting a bunch of little kids, he is surprised when most of them are adults.

Bruce's kids didn't expect to have a babysitter---they are not pleased. So they decide to make Danny's job 10x worse.

Danny wasn't originally going to butt into their patrols, but they're being annoying. So Danny messes with them on patrol.

(Alfred is on vacation and the thing Bruce has to deal with is short notice. Bruce did not want to cut Alfred’s vacation short)

I feel like one of the first things Danny should mention is how Dan isn't actually just him. Dan was a fusion of Danny's ghost side and Vlad ghost side. Dan looks like Danny the most, but Dan is also Vlad, it is unfair to pin it in the child here. It wasn't just Danny losing everyone and going crazy, it was both ghost parts losing their humanity when their cores were aching the most.

The whole Dan time line follows a series of events so ridiculous that it is ironic it even happened at all. A teacher decides to do a meeting in a random restaurant instead of doing it in school grounds, as it should have been done. An explosion going randomly off in a restaurant that had never had any problem before. Danny confiding in Vlad of all people to get rid of his ghost side. Vlad actually figuring out how to separate the ghost side and Ghost Danny getting to do the same on Vlad, both ghost sides fusioning and killing their human counterparts...

One single thing out of line and Dan would have never existed.

With Danny now being aware of the possibility there's no chance he'll go on with the whole separating the ghost even if he is grieving the whole world.

Kill on Sight Orders

The Flash fam has a secret. Okay so they have a lot of secrets, but there's one above all others.

A kill on sight order.

In the worst possible future (one of them there's a lot), a beast named Phantom decimated the world. He took out the entire Justice League, the entire Justice League Dark, any and all small-time heroes that stood in his way. All of it. Everyone.

If they see Phantom as a kid, to prevent the slightest possible chance of Phantom being a thing, it's kill on sight. They all have anti-ghost weapons that can destroy a ghost's core, locked away in a secure facility that they can just run to and grab real quick to get it done.

None of them like it. None of them can risk it.

Bart stumbles into a town that doesn't exist, almost gets got by a ghost that managed to possess him, and gets saved by...Phantom.

A scrawny, teenage Phantom.

He's funny, makes puns, worries about if Bart got hurt or not-he's nothing like the Bad Phantom!

He's not gonna kill his new friend! No way, no how.

But he's gotta keep it a secret from the other Speedsters now, because he doesn't know who came up with that rule but they probably won't understand, and then he'll have a speedster fight on his hands, and no one wants that.

But the government keeps sending letters of complaint to Max, and Max keeps asking why the government is mad at Bart now, and Bart can't tell him "oh it's because there's this town that is off the record and a secret and also where phantom is and i broke in" because that'd rat Phantom out, and even if he didn't mention Phantom Max would want to investigate.

The mailman doesn't understand why his letters keep disappearing but he thinks it might have something to do with the Flash, because there's always a red blur.

Okay, it would be hilarious if Damian joined in pointing at each other out of shear confusion and feeling left out. Another photo is sent to the bat family group chat and chaos ensues once more. From then on, that photo is the one they use every time they want to use the meme.

Maybe Bruce and Vlad ends up co-parenting the quadruplet demon kids? And in turn all of the bat family. Vlad doesn't know how to feel about the amount of kids, he just wanted a perfect son, and now he could create a football team with his kids. Bruce has long resign to getting new kids every time he steps out of the mansion, he's not even going to address the teasing.

DPxDC Demon Children Are Multiplying

This idea is still stuck in my head, and I might even end up writing something out of it, but for now, I just thought of something equally really, really stupid and really, really funny.

What if I combine that idea with Al Ghul Twins. I don't know how. Maybe Talia was cautious about Ra's not wanting to keep two kids for a position of Heir, or maybe she staged Danny's death, or maybe something else entirely happened. But anyway, Danny is Damian's twin.

Then, Dani is the same age as Danny in this AU. And Dan is de-aged to be the same age as both of them.

Now behold an absolute train wreck of a situation where Bruce attends a Gala hosted by Vladimir Masters. Together with Damian, of course, and maybe other batkids are there too. They all part their ways to make their rounds or whatnot. And they all keep seeing Damian wherever they go. Just everywhere.

Dick is talking to someone, and Damian walks past him, not paying him any attention. Which is not surprising, but a little rude, and, wait, wasn't he wearing a red tie? When did he change it to green one?

Tim is just going on the top floor to greet a lady he recognizes from some other event, and Damian all but storms in the opposite direction, only letting Tim catch a glimpse of his face. But when Tim turns around, he is really confused: the person running down the stairs is clearly a girl, albeit she is wearing a suit. Her long hair is up in a complicated braid. Why did he even mistake her for Damian?

But the ultimate confusion happens when Bruce is talking to Vladimir Masters, and a very familiar voice calls, "Father". Because both he and Vladimir turn to face the boy and ask, "Yes?" at the same time.

Damian is standing there, looking between Bruce and Vlad. He looks a little off somehow, but before Bruce can figure out why, the boy blinks and focuses on Vlad.

"We've been looking for you," he tells the man, and, wait, when was Damian looking for Masters? Furthermore, who is we?

But then another child comes closer. And-

That's Damian.

That's two Damians.

Wait, no, none of them are Damians.

"What is it?" Vladimir raises an eyebrow, not paying too much attention to Bruce's blanched expression.

A third child comes towards them, and this one also looks like Damian, only this one is a girl.

"Template's duplicate is here," she says, and Vlad frowns, turning to the Damian lookalike in the middle.

"Have you had another incident that I don't know of?"

Whatever answer the boy wanted to give is cut off by a n o t h e r child who looks like- no, this is real Damian, thank God, Bruce had started to wonder if the champagne was spiked with hallucinogens.

"Father-" he stops in his tracks as the three other children turn to him, and the four of them just stare at each other for a long moment. Then the one in the middle takes a sharp breath in and stage-whispers:

"Quick, do the meme!"

And all three not-Damians start pointing at each other.

Bruce is going to have an aneurysm. Judging by Vladimir's face, he is also not far from one.

Just my ramblings under the cut

I think you all know what meme I'm talking about, but I'm still gonna add it

This is so fucking hilarious to me, I'm sorry, I just can't

Danny is not missing this opportunity of a lifetime, even though Vlad specifically asked all three of them not to cause a scene. And yes, they all call Vlad "father" just for the spite of it or for shits and giggles. I'm going with Bad Fentons idea here, although I'm not sure to which degree they are bad, but anyway, Vlad is their legal guardian, and he is redeemed.

Yes, Dick took a picture. Yes, it's already in the group chat. Yes, other batkids are going wild.

Damian is greatly confused because, first, he thought there was a clone of him at the gala, but apparently, there were three of them, and second, why are they pointing at each other? Should he join them? He is under the assumption his brother is dead (he's not exactly wrong on that account), or he doesn't even know he existed.

This is as far as I got now, feel free to add anything!

Shades weren't actually consider inferior or "not real ghosts" they were partial citizens of the infinite realms, just like zombies, revenants, city spirits and many others mortal realm based ecto-beings, or at least, they're supposed to be.

Pariah Dark had a purist mindset, any being that wasn't completely connected to the infinite realms, wasn't a citizen for him. During Pariah Darks reign of terror, the infinite realms were almost completely closed of from the mortal realms, unless Pariah was planning to conquer it.

With no contact to any other ghosts, the mortal realms base acto-beings were left with just Pariah Darks discourse of how they all weren't real ghosts, how they weren't real ecto-beings, and weren't accepted in the infinite realms.

Pariah Dark destroyed the system that was put in place by previous monarchs. Mortal realms based ecto-beings now didn't have access to the realms during Samhain. The permanent emergency portals on places where the veil is thin where closed. Guidance and aid from the realms was cut.

It all sucked. Mortal realm based ecto-beings (Let's call them the stranded, because that name is becoming to long) lost their access to health care, lost access to their species history, lost access to ectoplasm, they lost everything.

The stranded also lost any means to know what was going on in the realms. They didn't know the tyrannical terror that was unraveling there. All they knew was that the king cut them off, and that the infinite realms ghosts weren't showing up any more. After thousands of years, the stranded just accepted that they weren't consider ghost enough for the infinite realms and it's citizens as a fact.

Meanwhile, in the infinite realms. It took a couple millennia for the Ancients to finally figure they're differences and unite to trap Pariah Dark in the coffin of ever sleep. The infinite realms where a mess, everyone concentrated on trying to bring things back up, and no one thought about the stranded, who probably where doing better than them. Even after things got kinda sorted out, must ghosts had no idea how to reconnect with the mortal realms.

Fast forward to Danny turning on the portal, Feeding that mortal realm with the ectoplasm that it hadn't gotten in ages. Small natural portals where forming here and there, but with no system for the stranded to know about it, or anyone to seek them out.

Now, Phantom two years king, still dealing with Pariahs delayed paperwork, has just been informed about the existence of the stranded. No one bother to tell him that a huge amount of his subjects were cut from the infinite realms during Pariahs reign. Amity Park had one of the thinnest veils, so any ecto-beings there where infinite realms based, so he didn't even know they existed.

He's struggling with plans to speed run all the stranded process for citizenship and accomodations. He knows how it is to deal with suddenly being a different species while still being part of a mortal realm, but he had guidance from lots of ghost of the infinite realms. He feels terrible for all the stranded that had to deal with that on their own. Even more since most of them wouldn't be able to mask as a human and go back to their own life like he could being a Halfa.

He's reading through the incomplete records of the infinite realms support networks for the stranded that used to exist. Figuring how viable it would be to create them again, while opening well made permanent portals in hundreds of different mortal realms.

This, is what have the Justice League summoning the Hight King of the infinite realms. Out of nowhere, there are natural portals to the infinite realms popping up in random places.

"Not random, they're opening where the veil is already thin." - Constantine reminds them.

The portals doesn't seem to be hurting anyone, mortals can't even touch them, only those who have died before can see them, but they're portals to the land of dead opening out of nowhere! Some of JLD is even worried that they're mortal realm is collapsing.

So here they are, starting a summoning ritual, while Deadman is wondering if it is possible to die a second time from nerves.

DPxDC Prompt

It is common knowledge in the realms that a ghost that forms outside of the realms is a shade, an incorporeal being that rarely gains enough ectoplasm to interact with their environment, let alone hold a solid form.

Ghosts within the realms do not consider shades to be fully ghosts, they don't have the ectoplasm and they have never set foot within the realms in which all ghosts form.

But in the living realms, shades are the only form of ghosts humans ever heard of, let alone interacted with.

So when the Justice League makes plans to summon the king of ghosts, Deadman is understandably nervous being the only representing ghost, being held together by magic instead of ectoplasm at that. He isn't ashamed to say he was hiding behind Constantine, who knew if the king would be offended by his presence.

It probably would have been a good idea to inform everyone about different types of ghost before hand to avoid the absolute diplomatic nightmare that proceeded the Ghost King's arrival.

Danny was tired. Tired of trying to explain that he was dead, tired of trying to explain that he was half a ghost, tired of being told he never died. He had thought that the bats reaction to the reveal was better than his parents. No one was trying to give him anti-ecto medicine to "cure him." So he had thought it was better, and that they would understand with time that he had died, but they didn't.

He never knew how much being denied your dead could hurt. The way he felt the electricity going through he's body, tearing him apart, while ectoplasm put him back together... It wasn't just an accident that gave him powers.

He understands the desire for it to be just that, denial helped team Phantom keep going after the accident. But even then, while pretending he was still alive, he knew he had died, and Frostbite confirmed it when he told him he was a Halfa.

He's friends had pushed through their grief and guilt, and accepted that he was half ghost, because they saw how much it hurt him when they tried to pretend he hadn't died. They could mourn together thanks to that. Why couldn't his new family do that?

He gave them time, accepting the new member of the family was dead, was not going to be easy, so he was patient. But it's been a month, and hearing them say how death was something that's just in his mind, hurts. They're denying his own existence, his worst experience, and it hurts.

It's been half a year since Jazz reported their parents for poisoning him. They had good intentions, they thought they were helping him, but their "medicine" only made him weaker by the day. He could feel that his core was finally strong enough to make a portal to the infinite realms once more, and a visit to Frostbite is due.

He was looking forward to teaching them about ghosts, about his ghost guardians, about his culture. He wanted to show them his castle, to show them the crown that would be placed in his head when he turns 100 years dead. Introduce them to his mentors. He wanted to go to Frostbite with Bruce, to finally be able to trust an adult to look out for his health as a ghost.

He wasn't so sure he wanted to do that anymore. They cared about him, he knew that, but he had already learned with his parents that meaning well doesn't always do well. Was it a good idea to take them with him to the infinite realms? What if they denied other ghosts deaths?

He's the prince, he shouldn't so casually take people that aren't even able to accept he's a ghost to the infinite realms. It is irresponsible, it's selfish. But Sam had told him that this would surely force them to accept his reality, and Tucker said it was worth the risk. It's not like they're ghost hunters.

As Jason came into the living room, being the last one to arrive, Danny took one last fortifying breath. There's no going back, Tuck is right, he needs his new family to support him. He can't live through what happened with the Fenton's all over again.

- Okay chum, everyone's here. What did you want to talk about?

- Yeah, well... - Danny started rocking from side to side. - I have an appointment with my doctor this afternoon. I was-

-Wait, you have an appointment with what doctor? We haven't scheduled anything with Leslie. - Said Tim.

- Ah, yeah, no, I'm talking about my Ghost doctor.

Danny could taste the disbelief in the air as they looked at each other, oh, there was also anger and pity there. What was there to be angry about? Ghost's abilities to taste emotions would be way better if he could also read minds.

- Danny, kiddo, - Said Dick oh so carefully, in that way he did every time he tried to convince him that he wasn't dead, as if he was talking to a confused little kid. - who's this ghost doctor of yours? Where did you meet him?

Oh! Right, they don't believe Danny is dead, so a ghost doctor must be a scammer. A scammer that's taking advantage of a vulnerable kid. That's where the anger comes from.

Danny took another breath, he should be given a prize for the patient he's displaying here.

- His name is Frostbite. - More frowns, oh joy - Met him a couple of months after the accident. - A couple opened their mouths to say something, but Danny continued before they had the chance. - As I was saying, this afternoon I have an appointment with him, and I wanted to use it as a chance to take y'all to the infinite realms.

- The land of the dead? - Asks Duke.

- I mean, there's not only the dead but, yeah. - There was silence for a moment and Danny decided to talk again. - I mean, if you have time to come.

They looked at each other once more, and then nodded.

- Okay, we're going with you. - Answered Bruce

- Really? Even Jason? - Danny asked hopefully. Jason was the one he wanted to be there the most. He needed Frostbite to take a look at his injured proto-core.

- There's nothing big in Crime Alley today, and I really want to meet this doctor of yours. - Jason said with a smile that didn't really hide the murderous intentions - When are we leaving?

And Danny knew they didn't believe him. He knew they were probably planning to attack the one they thought was taking advantage of him. But he was happy they were at least coming.

- 20 min. I want to have time to show you around some places.

Everyone runs to get ready, weren't expecting to be going out so soon.

Tasting the anger and determination left in the now empty room, Danny thought: "If this doesn't work... Well, It's not like I haven't been ready to give up on living in the mortal realm for months now. I can just not come back."

# Dcu x Dp 177

Danny is having mix feelings his parents believed that his powers were the cause of ecto contaminated and was making him sick and slow killing.

While the bat's and birds think that he is also sick they belived that the powers he has have made him think he is dead and have given him something called walking corpse syndrome

The batfam believes that Danny is a meta with Cotard's syndrome and are trying to convince him that he is not dead. While also making sure that he does not die for real because of starvation or injury/infection.

Cotard's syndrome ( aslo called walking corpse) a rare mental disorder in which the affected person holds the believe that parts of their body are missing, or that they are dying, dead, or don't exist
