Danny needed a place to live.

The Wayne manor had more rooms than anyone could know what to do with.

Had Danny been sneaking in to the Wayne manor uncaught for a three months now? Yep. Had he had a little fifteenth birthday party for himself with a cupcake and a candle in his new room? Yep. Was he proud of his appearent stealth? Yep.

Did he expect the butler to walk in on him in the middle of phasing his backpack back out of the wall?

Nope. Absolutely not.

The butler eased out of his look of shock like a veteran of wild shenanigans and bullcrappery, "May I inquire the reason for your visit?"

Danny, who was a panicking just blurted out, "I live here now!"

They just kinda stared at eachother before the butler laughed a little. "Alright then. Dinner will be served in two hours. Don't be late."

And with that he was gone. Danny groaned about his big mouth and decided to commit. Dinner was awkward and the butler, Alfred, made him introduce himself and he did so with a little wave.

Damian attempted to murder him with throwing knives which Danny caught and proclaimed were his now. The family all watched on as Danny wound Damian up and kept taking more weapons from him. Little bat looked like he was on the verge of either flying over the table at the teen or just having a stroke.

Steph and Tim were switching between asking questions and being menaces to society.

Jason was making quips at other people and being oddly friendly.

Duke was staring at danny with a look of horror for half the diner before awkwardly deciding to be friendly and hope whatever this thing was didn't bite

He and Dick were already workshopping puns together at the table in front of everybody. A fact no one but them enjoyed.

Bruce was asking vague questions to try to figure out what this kids deal was and how exactly he got past all the security.

Cass had successfully taught him a bit of ASL and they seemed to get along well enough. Especially once stealth was brought up. Turns out Danny likes to sneak around and he had almost been caught multiple times in the three months he'd been living here. All the family went silent.

"Did you say three months?!"

The whole family (sans Damian) works together both to get Danny to stay so they can get answers to questions and try to peace together wth is happening.

At first they thing Danny is going to freeload off of him only to discover he only came home right before the curfew Bruce set for him and heads out first thing in the morning. He usually only used the manor to sleep and shower.

It was Steph who found him first. He was handing out flyers as part of one of his many side jobs. Turns out he spent most of his time working.

He somehow managed to get Jason to help him buy a fridge. Danny paid for it entirely by himself, he just needed Jason to sign a piece of paper since he was a legal adult and Danny very much wasn't. Jason asked why the kid wanted such a huge fridge and he wasn't prepared for him to say he "wanted to stay out of the way as much as possible"

The HC of Danny’s hair gaining white streaks but with him being in Gotham.

He keeps dyeing it back to solid black, because he doesn’t want to attract attention by resembling a rouge or vigilante. He has to touch up the roots every 3 weeks so absolutely no one knows.

At some point Danny ends up running out of dye and his roots start to show through so he makes an emergency stop out of his usual way to pick up more dye.

Danny ends up literally bumping into a man that sets off a light version of his ghosts in the hair dye isle, he hadn’t run into anyone that set it off in Gotham yet and ends up having no idea how to react. After a few minutes of awkward staring and silence Danny just awkwardly asks the guy the first thing that came to his mind and basically asks the guy if he’s buying dye to cover up his death evidence too.

Jason is now panicking because this scrawny kid just:

1. Thinks Jason died (the kid is right, but he shouldn’t know that)

2. Admitted/thinks that he died (the kid either did die or thinks he did, both are concerning for very different reasons)

3. Has evidence of white in his hair just like Jason (the kids eyes are blue, so his bungee jump back from death’s probably not related to the pit. Hopefully)

And 4. looks like someone Bruce would kidnap off the street and put in a colorful costume (probably the most worrying. The kid looked like a strong wind would blow him over, he wouldn’t make it as a bat or bird)

The sound of the cameras shutter stood out amongst the typical city sounds that floated up to Bruce on the darkened rooftops. His son, or rather what was left of him, continued taking pictures of the Gotham skyline as if nothing was wrong.

As if he wasn't dead.

It took everything Bruce had not to break down at the thought. Instead he stepped forward out of the shadows, "Tim."

Tim shuttered, the gears visable inside his chest vibrating from the movement. It was unsettling. "I told you not to call me that." The Lazarus spirit hissed, "Or should I make you join Oracle and Superboy in the portrait." Tim smiled to himself, "I'm sure it will make a pretty picture."

Elsewhere, the "Lazarus form" of Damian was leading a pack of ghost dogs to rampage against butcher shops while another part of the city had ghost Dick as a circus proformer terrorizing an escaped Joker and his henchmen. The batfam decided to leave that one be for a while.

No one knew where Cass's spirit was. All they saw was a mass of writhing shadows and then she was gone.

Jason's ghost was the one no one wanted to face. Not because of how dangerous he was, but because he was just sitting there on his favorite gargoyle. Neon green gauntlets on, matching his neon green shoes and contrasting nicely with the recolor kevlar and cape.

No one wanted to confront the dead Robin. No one.

Except Phantom, that is. He felt responsible since it was him using his parents new invention that knocked thier souls out of their bodies to begin with.

Now Phantom is trying to find a way to shove thier souls back into thier still living bodies before its too late all while avoiding Batman and the rest of his crew and not letting them know he exists.

Bruce meeting Danny the first time: Oh it's adorable.

Bruce as Batman meeting Danny as Phantom and connecting the dots to another dead child: Oh it's traumatized.

Bruce seeing Danny unused to all positive attention the Batfam is giving him: Oh it has anxiety.

Not aging Danny

Danny gaslights Wes into believing he is color blind and he and phantom don't look similar
