Me: *Sees colour green* Also me: Must draw Danny Phantom
Sigh. . . Tim Joker Jr. AU incorrect quotes because I don't wanna start writing the fic till I plan everything out and have a decent understanding of Stephanie, Cass, and Babs as characters and the timeline. The. Timeline. But gods, my own AU lives rent free in my head and I'm the only one able to make the content I want of it...
Context: Bruce stuck Tim in Arkham following the J.J. incident, Dick didn't exactly agree, but he didn't protest, nobody visited Tim for the two years he was there. Jason came back and decided Tim was his now. Now take backs.
Jason: Whatchu... Whatchu doin' there, Little Red?
Tim, glaring at the ice in his drink: Trying to see if you drugged me...
Jason: Why would I drug ya?
Tim: Same reason the guards and docs at Arkham did, 'cause I'm "crazy" and "dangerous."
Jason: . . . Well, that's bull. Here, lemme see that.
Jason, taking a sip of Tim's drink before handing it back: See? Not drugged.
Tim: . . . Thanks, riding hood.
Jason: No problem, little red.
—
Tim: . . . I don't feel real.
Jason: Ya look real.
Tim: Is time real? I don't think it is... I think it's made up. It doesn't feel real, what is time but an illusion of control humanity made to call the spinning of our planet?
Jason: . . . Let's just get you a weighted blanket.

Clark: I hear things have been rough in Gotham lately, new vigilantes?
Bruce: It's under control.
Clark: Yeah, yeah, of course! I'm just saying, if you ever need help—
Bruce: It. Is under. Control.
Clark: . . .
Jason who's taken over the Iceberg lounge and became the most notorious and dangerous Crime lord in Gotham city with territory in Crime Alley, the Bowery, and Robinsville:
Tim who has been equipping Jason and his trusted goons with tech that rivals the bats and setting random things on fire, including tampering with the Bat computers files:
Stephanie who has been sabotaging Batman and co. for weeks and planting evidence against various enemies to get them served longer sentences and running circles around Cass (it's enemies to friends to lovers, trust, gang) while also actively helping Jason take down Black Mask:
Selina who fully ditched Bruce and has been assisting the Red Hood and Spoiler while stealing from the rich in Bristol:
Bruce, sighing: So under control.
—
Dick: So, uh, B, y'know how Jason's back..?
Bruce: Yes, things are... Complicated, but I'm hoping that overtime we can come to an agreement an—
Dick: He broke Joker Junior out of Arkham.
Bruce:
Bruce: F#&$.
—
Jason, sighing heavily: Just me,
Jason, looking to Selina: My emotionally adopted Mom,
Jason, looking to Stephanie: My emotionally adopted pest,
Jason, looking to Tim: And my emotionally adopted little brother.
Tim: :D
—
Cassandra, sitting beside Stephanie on a rooftop: You're the enemy.
Stephanie: What makes me the enemy? Because I work with the Red Hood, or 'cause I'm fine with him killing?
Cassandra: Both.
Stephanie: . . . Y'know, I became Spoiler at first for the rush, 'cause it made me feel like I finally had power over my life. I could stop my Dad and the drug dealers and help my Mom, I could actually... I could actually do things, y'know? I'm not, like, just some random bystander. Batman didn't think that was a valid reason, I guess.
Cassandra: . . . Why do you still do it . . ? Still for the "rush?"
Stephanie: Now? Well, now... Now I do it 'cause it makes me happy. It feels right, y'know? It's given me everything Stephanie Brown never had, like Tim and Jason. I... I never really had a family before. Not a proper one.
Cassandra: I . . . understand that. Didn't like my family, Father or Mother. Oracle? I feel like I am... Home. Batman feels like... family.
Stephanie: Well... I'm glad you like your family. Sorry I hate 'em.
Cassandra: Sorry I hate yours.
Stephanie: 't's whatever. I'll still beat you up next time you try to attack Red Hood or Catwoman though.
Cassandra: You'll lose again.
Stephanie: I'll hit you with a brick again.
Cassandra: . . . I hate you.
Stephanie, laughing: Why!?
Cassandra: Because you... Make me feel. I don't like the feeling you give me.
Stephanie: Why not?
Cassandra: It makes me think things Batman wouldn't like...
Stephanie: Like what?
Cassandra, whispering: Like I should kiss you.
—
Tim, standing in the middle of Selina's apartment: Permission to pet all your cats?
Selina: . . . Permission granted.
Tim, cackling as he begins to pet every single cat:
Jason: How long ya think that'll take him?
Selina: At least five hours.
Jason: Damn.
—
Jason, standing in front of a flaming warehouse in Black Mask's territory: And what do you two have to say for yourselves!?
Tim, holding his flamethrower behind his back: I love you?
Stephanie: Womp womp!
—
Tim, standing next to Jason's sleeping body: . . .
Jason, slowly waking up:
Jason: HOLY— What are you doing up!?
Tim: I had to make sure you didn't get killed by the spiders.
Jason: What spiders?!
Tim: The ones in my head.
Tim, slowly covering Jason with a blanket again: This'll keep them off you.
Jason: . . . Thanks?
Tim: You're welcome! Now, if you'll excuse me I need to go flick the kitchen light exactly sixty times in order to prevent my arm from falling off.
Jason, watching as Tim walks away: . . . "A threat to Gotham" Bruce says,
Jason, throwing the blanket off himself to follow Tim: "Dangerous!" Dickface said!
Jason, rubbing a hand down his face: Danger to my damn electricity bill, more like...
—
Bruce, dropping down after hearing reports of a cult ritual being performed:
Jason, lying in the middle of a purple pentagram drawn poorly on the floor: Can we help you?
Tim, holding a flamethrower, slowly pointing it toward Batman:
Stephanie, in full Spoiler wear, eight months pregnant: We're kinda busy.
Selina, drinking a glass of wine from the side: Go away, Bat, they're under my supervisor.
Bruce, gesturing to the scene: This is outside Red Hood's territory, I have a right to ask.
Jason: No, you don't.
Stephanie: We'll give Tim permission to start shooting.
Tim: I already have in my mind.
Bruce: You're in a condemned building, Stephanie is pregnant, why does... He have a flamethrower!
Jason: Questioning our parenting methods? Really?
Selina: Honestly, the audacity.
Stephanie: Say Tim's name, p#&%$!
Bruce: You know what? Never mind.
Tim: Wow, the auditory hallucinations of you say my name and acknowledge me more than you.
Bruce: I... I'll just go.
Tim, sticking his tongue out as Bruce leaves:
Stephanie: Alright! Back to getting Jason his soul back!

Random bird:
Tim, making bird noises:
Random bird:
Jason: You good there, Little Red?
Tim: Yeah, we're talking politics!
Jason: Nice.
—
Dick standing right outside Crime Alley: I'm not in Crime Alley!
Jason: Get out!
Dick: I'm not in your territory!
Tim, jumping down with his flamethrower: Are you flame proof? :D
Dick: Tim.. C'mon, please, I'm trying!
Tim, aiming: Remember that time you stole my cookie during patrol and I stayed mad at you for a month?
Dick: . . . Yes.
Tim: Imagine how I feel about you not even VISITING ME in ARKHAM for TWO YEARS!
Jason: Begone! I'm the favorite brother.
Dick: We're still brothers?
Tim, putting his finger in the trigger, in a sing song voice: Not for long!

I see you cooking and I’m sat 🤣
- I'm really happy with the prompt I came up with in the Batpham discord server, so I'm sharing it here!
Gotham has been a lot safer since VladCo's ever-reluctant Co-CEO had to take over. The reconstruction budget hasn't been touched in 2 weeks. The bats are suspicious of the one multimillionaire who isn't publicly known.
Danny has never been happier to just be shut in and invent more for the AF line of security.
Things have never been easier for him.
Well...
Until he walks into his office on 2 hours of sleep and sees a collection of bats caught in his proto-AF nets.
AF- Anti-Fenton
You beautiful soul, you got the vibe EXACTLY!
He's sick of this shit. Might as well put the experience to use.
When the videos first come out, they're more rage rants cause this is happening so often and he's only been there for like 2-3 days. The only thing is part of his first video that Cass ans Steph put on the screen for the others to see. I have written out is that he got nabbed 6 times within the weekend he got here and if he got nabbed a 7th time then this would be his project.
Danny is in Gotham for 3 days and is already sick of the rogues and criminals. He's kidnapped, drugged, and mugged, you name it! So he takes the time to rate his experiences. To make up his semester grades, Mr. Lancer gave him a summer assignment to do while he’s at the WE Summer Scholar program to record his experiences. So he goes a little above and makes it a YouTube channel after the third incident on his first day here. Speaking about the rogues from an outsider's perspective behind a ghost image. After the SEVENTH TIME on his THIRD. DAY. HERE. He finally uses a camera, full-on (Silly-ass) rage ranting in a full black motorcyclist gear with a black tint visor that barely shows the green light coming from his eyes if you look super closely. Straight from the riddler's kidnapping today! If it's a more serious video, he'll be in a full gas mask, single colored shirt, a black hoodie over top, and white gloves. Either way, he never shows an inch of skin. Yet, no rogue has made it past 4.5/5 stars cause this kid has ALWAYS somehow experienced worse. A Gothamite calls him on it, so he shares a droplet of his experiences with his rogues, and everyone is getting increasingly concerned for RR. No one has any idea what they look like (aside from Sam and Tucker, who joined the program with him). So everyone is looking out for their midwestern accent. Tim is delighted and confused when #RRSolidarity goes viral.
There has been a glowing green dog that's been playing with Ace and Titus whenever Damian is not with either of the dogs of Wayne Manor.
The entire Wayne brood has tried to catch the dog, and Damian especially wanted to catch it. They all failed at even laying a finger on it, as it has flight, a form of density shifting much more refined than J'onn's own, and is very playful.
It had taken about 6 months for the family to finally put their hands on the glowing green dog. It was Damian, of course.
Soon after that, the glowing green dog was following them during patrol and helping them out, but it mostly stuck to Damian's side. The first time they had seen it turn into a massive hellhound was a shock to them all.
Then, one night during patrol, the glowing green dog looked troubled. When Damian had approached the dog, it turned into its massive form, grabbed Damian in its mouth, and then began to run away with him. The rest of the family had began to chase after the dog, worried about Damian mostly.
The dog had taken Damian to an abandoned warehouse on the edge of Gotham, where it placed him down in front of a teenage boy that's collapsed, barely breathing and surrounded by blood that has some Lazarus Water coloring to it, the boy is also clutching his chest like one does when they're trying to soothe a pain there. The dog is very affectionate towards the boy. Perhaps the dog is his.
Danny had escaped the horrors his parents and the GIW put him through in the lab they took him to, but it's only a matter of time before they find him again. He was lucky enough to encounter Cujo in Gotham of all places, but he's just happy to see his favorite ghost dog. Danny is on the verge of passing out when Cujo came back after he told him to 'fetch help'. Danny was expecting Cujo to bring Jazz, but instead, Cujo brought Robin of all people.
Only cause I've been reading too many Demon Twin AUs.
Damian is trying his very best to keep his composure. He doesn't want to admit that his twin's final words about him never being able to change haunted him.
What matters is that he found him. They can be the family they were meant to be. He knew better than to expect flowers and a hug for this reunion.
But there it was. The same cold gaze that pierced through his soul time and time again. Only this time, it's on two bodies half his height. He couldn't even react before he was pepper sprayed and tased simultaneously.
He held onto the railing behind him for dear life. He barely makes out the door being shut, and the nearest voice cuts through his haze of anguish, yelling out, "MOM, HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED IS ON THE PORCH!"
Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
hey
hey friend
dont kill yourself tonight ok
you have a really pretty smile and i know its not always easy to manage one but itd be a bummer if we never had the chance to see it ever again
youre really important and you matter a lot so stay safe and try and have a nice sleep
There’s that temper of yours again.
Commissioner Gordon was ostracized within the Gotham Police department. He knew this was because of his ties to the Bat, his late hours, constant overtime. He knew that even the good officers, while he couldn't tell too much who was who, didn't mean to ostracize him. It happened on accident, he's sure. He picked up some clues from the world's greatest detective. Rumors went around, running rampant about him. He just couldn't care so much about them.
Everyone knew that Commissioner Gordon always took his late dinner at 9:37 at night. Everyone cleared from the break room. Gordon opened the door, taking a heavy breath. He was still expecting the empty room. It felt empty, in a way Gordon had picked up from The Bat. He pulled his burrito out of the fridge, opening the styrofoam container and eating a bite. "You're not going to heat it up?" Gordon barely manages to catch his burrito, his whole soul leaving his body.
"Jesus Christ, kid, you scared me." Gordon lets out a heavy breath, seeing the new detective sitting at a table in the corner. He's eating... Something indescribable. He looks tired, his long black hair bulled back into a high ponytail. His face seems disproportionate, large prominent features. A crooked nose, a wide, thin mouth, large eyes accompanied by large bags. His skin was pale, dusted with faded freckles and litchenburg scarring. The young man- still a boy, practically, shrugged at Gordon's words, eating another bite of the odd food. "No one warned you I'd be in here?" Gordon decided to sit with him.
"No, they warned me. But the past couple of days they've been... Avoiding me." Dr. Fenton, Gordon remembers his file passing over his desk. He could never be a cop- he was a detective-by-hire because of some medical condition. Gordon feels a pang at the emotionless words.
"Ah, they avoid me too." Gordon takes another bite of his cold burrito. "So, how have you been enjoying working here?"
"Well, it's been alright, I guess." Fenton took a drink from his thermos- which has a straw in it. It goes unsaid that this was the only job Fenton could really get. Close to the force, anyways. His medical condition refrained him from being a proper officer, so he wasn't officially a Gotham PD detective. He was an out-contract detective, receiving the same work, pay, and hours as the regular detectives.
"Getting around the town well enough?"
"Well enough, I suppose. Almost got robbed." Fenton held three doctorates- criminology, psychology, and natural sciences. All at the young age of 22.
"Almost?" Gordon snorts a bit at that. "Scared them off with your badge?"
"I don't have a badge. And I don't have a gun, if that's what you're thinking. I guess they just thought I was too pathetic to have much cash." Danny shrugged.
"Oh come on, you're not pathetic." Gordon is a bit taken aback that the boy doesn't carry any weapons. He makes a mental note to get him a badge.
"I looked pathetic enough not to rob."
Gordon feels like he missed something there, because Gotham robbers would rob a kindergartner if they were unattended. Regardless, he and Fenton sat in silence for a good couple of minutes. "What are you eating?" Fenton asks eventually.
"A burrito from the Mexican stand on Westwood."
"Why are you eating it cold?"
"Because if I reheat it, then the sauce becomes a solid liquid and everything gets soggy. What are you eating?"
"It was supposed to be stir fry?" Danny stared down at the leftovers container. "I'm not good at cooking. No videos ever make sense, so they don't turn out right."
"Your parents didn't teach you?" Gordon asks.
"No, they weren't the best chefs. They did pass on the family fudge recipe though. I can make some killer fudge." He laughs a little bit at that.
"I'll bring you lunch in from now on." Gordon says. "Until we can get your cooking sorted out, anyhow. Normally my daughter and I spend Tuesday nights fixing dinner together, so you'll get the best meals Wednesday."
"You don't have to do that." Danny seems a little caught off guard by the kindness.
"I can't have one of my youngest detectives going hungry!" Gordon smiles. "Besides, you're the first person in the precinct to eat dinner with me in nearly twenty years. You keep eating with me, it'll be no problem. I enjoy the company." Danny smiles at him and Gordon is reminded of someone, but he can't remember who.
Over the next couple of weeks, Gordon and Danny get well acquainted in their overlapping shifts. Danny works the nights and sometimes early mornings, similar to what Gordon does. Gordon finds himself feeling fatherly to the young man, who's working and picking up significant overtime to pay off his student loans. He learns that Danny moved here from Illinois- it was the only PD he could work at. He had no formal fighting training, but apparently his mom had taught him some moves. They had yet to overlap in the field, and it was easy for Gordon to forget that the boy was really a detective.
"Danny?" Jim paused, having finally made his way to the crime scene. Danny was crouched over a dead body, using his gloved hands to inspect the wound- the word Joker carved using some sort of knife.
"Gordon?" Despite all insistence, the boy still used his last name.
Jim has to stop himself from asking him why he's here. Danny's eyes shift to a spot behind him and James sighs. "What happened?" Batman's voice startled the last officer in the room, who quickly stuttered an excuse and left.
"The Joker broke in, tortured her, and left." Jim says. "We just have to figure out why."
"No, we don't." Danny looked back at the body, his eyes unfocused. "It was political. Do you see the swelling here on the neck? No lacerations, and no bruising. Allergy, I suppose, or a poison that reacts similarly. No clawing at the neck or face, but heavy rope burns on the wrists and ankles. The cuts were sloppy, and from the bleeding, it was done after she had died. Maybe five, ten minutes after? The window wasn't fully closed when it was broken into, do you see how the glass fractured there at the top?"
Jim blinked, and Danny continued. "It doesn't fit the motive of a mad-man like the Joker to do this. Who you're looking for is a woman, younger than the victim, maybe around twenty or thirty?" His eyes unfocused again. "Hmmm." He snaps back, looking around. He stands, his hands shaking a little. He looks around, eyes landing on the shelf. He scans it, using gentle hands to lift the potted plant. He pulls out a camera, unplugging it. "A Direct Link- model E47C." He sets the camera in an evidence bag.
Batman gives a grunt- and if Jim isn't mistaken it was one of approval? Danny held the camera out to Jim. "That was some fine detective work today, kid." Jim sets his hand on Danny's shoulder. Danny glances off to the side nervously. He locks eyes with Batman. "Danny, this is Batman. Batman, this is Dr. Daniel Fenton, the newest detective on the force."
Batman holds a hand out. "I look forward to working with you." Danny pulls off one of the disposable gloves, reaching out to shake his hand. "You're shaking a little, are you alright?"
"Medical condition." Danny answers. "You're taller than I expected."
"It's the ears." Jim represses a smile. "You go ahead and get your deductions filed. I brought pasta." Jim watches Danny leave. He turns to Batman, who's staring him down with that signature I-know-everything™ face. "What?"
"When are you going to let him know that you're mentoring him?" He says it like a sentence, and was that amusement in his tone?
"I'm not." Jim turns to the window.
"You brought him pasta."
"He never learned to cook."
"So you're teaching him." There was definitely amusement in his tone now.
Jim huffed. "We're getting old." He finally sighs. "We both have full grown kids. Crime and corruption are still thick in this city." Batman is standing next to him with a swoosh in his cape. "Retirement... I could see myself with it. Sipping cocktails on the beach. A beach with sunshine and no broken down carnivals."
Batman is silent for a moment, as if considering this. "So you see Fenton taking your place?"
"Like you see your Robin." Jim admits.
What if Danny Fenton and Billy Batson become fast friends. Danny is annoyed at cultists trying to send "brides" to the Ghost King. Billy is weirded out when adults try to flirt with Captain Marvel. Danny hits upon the idea that they should be each other's beards. If the Ghost King and the Champion of Magic are very publicly dating, that should keep unwanted suitors off their backs, right?
Of course they are both absolute Chaos Gremlins about it.
Cultist: We offer you this sacrifice, oh great king!
Danny: One moment please *whips out fenton phone* Hey honey, guess what? Some idiots are trying to tempt me away from you again. You got my coordinates?
Billy: *Kool Aid man entrance* Who dares?!
Cultists: Run awaaaaay!
***********
Captain Marvel takes a hit while fighting a villain. Phantom out of nowhere with a steel chair!
Danny: Nobody hurts my schnookums!
Everyone: ???
************
Captain Marvel brings Phantom to the next JL potluck as his plus one, with Danny in full creepy ghost mode.
Billy: Oh yes, we've been on again, off again for the last thousand years or so. We have our differences, but nobody gets me quite like he does! *exaggarated dreamy sigh*
Hal: That's nice...
Meanwhile Danny is shoving an entire burger in his mouth, displaying multiple rows of sharp teeth.
Danny: Man, I love the 21st century! Food sure has changed a lot since I died. And the technology!
Ollie: Oh? When did you die?
Danny: *glares* It's incredibly rude to ask a ghost about their death
Nearby Leaguers are edging away, nervous about being on the menu next.
Flash: Hotdogs! Who wants hotdogs?!
Danny: Oh, me! As long as they don't fight back
Everyone: wtf is going on here
