Jazz Angst To Go With The Danny - Tumblr Posts
But what does Jazz think about this? Was she stuck at college? Did she get caught and punished trying to run interference between ghosts and hunters those two months? Was she trying to help ghosts get away and humans get out, and other liminals get out? Did she spend two months internally screaming because this is wrong, something is wrong, but she can’t figure out what?
And after the rewind, what does she do? Does she come bursting home, missing the bats, and finding the lab trashed and organs set aside in jars? Organs that she’s praying desperately aren’t her brother’s. (Danny, Danny, Danny, be ok, you have to be ok, Danny, ok? You can’t leave her alone again, Danny, Danny, come back, but stay away from here, they hurt you, they killed you. Again. They keep killing you, Danny, Danny, DANNY!)
The bats have so many folks around, even if they aren't always working together. Enough that folks like to joke/write about Danny just kinda showing up acting like he already lives there. He just kinda blends in.
I'd love to see more magic motivated versions of this. Some kind of spell that affects the bat's perceptions of the past and present, making them actually miss that this boy wasn't with their family too long ago. Maybe it changes their understanding like it's a time line shift, maybe it fogs their mind just a tad and makes them glaze past something like it wasn't even there. I like the second if only because I feel like that would make it more likely for the bats to realize a spell was a foot.
Imagining this from Danny's side, hes terrified this whole time of getting found out. He knows how and when he showed up here and maybe even how flimsy whatever magic is in place is. Imagining a Desiree wish that was either very carefully worded or Not so carefully worded. Maybe he placed himself with the Wayne family with the expectation that he would quietly mooch of some rich idiot until he was ready to be on his own. Or maybe he wished himself to be a part of the batclan, taking up a mask and patroling with them as a bird that Doesn't Exist.
Ofc eventually the spell has to be broken, leaving the bats confused worried scared angry probably even amused, and a billion other things. WHY did this teenager decide to adopt himself into the Wayne/bat family? Who the hell is he and where did he come from. Someone call Zatanna, there is some magic Fuckery going on.
