Jason: *Gets Tapped On The Ankle By Someone Underneath The Gala Finger Food Table*

Dick: OMG Bruce, you got his number??

Bruce: H egave me this sigil to contact him.

Dick: Okay, so you got his magic phone number. When do I get to meet my new father in law?

Bruce: We have barely had a conversation.

Dick: Okay.

Bruce:...He'll be over for dinner on Friday with his daughter.

Dick: Hah, knew it. I'll make sure everyone is there.

Bruce: Wait-

Dick: EVERYONE.

Spirit Halloween Meet Cute AU short

The ritual was well underway, and Bruce could see Dick choking on a strange liquid the cultists were forcing down his throat. It was the same liquid that filled the small pool he was restrained in.

It was Lazarus Waters.

As if that wasn't enough, drawn in blood on the ground was a strange sigil, presumably for invoking something or someone.

And Bruce knew he was out of time; if he wanted Dick to survive, he couldn't wait for a JLD member.

He had to move.

He broke the skylight and crashed into the middle of the enemy, trusting his team to follow. The fighting was mostly a blur, with Bruce's sole focus on getting to a now-limp Nightwing.

And then the sigil lit up.

From the Lazarus water Dick was resting in, a figure started to emerge.

It appeared to be a man around the same age as Bruce, a little taller than him, with snow white hair and glowing green eyes. He was haloed with an ethereal light as he picked up Dick's unconscious body like it was nothing.

Bruce did not think.

Only vaguely aware of the cries of despair behind him, Bruce launched himself at the strange being and decked it in the face.

The being reeled back, and Bruce used its distraction to rip Dick out of its arms.

Bruce darted back enough to hand Dick off to a swearing Jason, and readied himself to go after the being again.

But the being just stood there, hand to its face as it stared at him in...awe?

"You're a human," it-he-said, appearing amazed, "And you actually managed to hurt me."

Bruce bared his teeth in a facsimile of a smile.

"I can make it hurt a lot worse, too-"

"Marry me."

...

"...What?"

"Wait, did I say that outloud?"

"I can't...I don't even know who you are. So. Marriage is not. Uh." Bruce fumbled, unsure of how to handle this turn of events.

"My moniker is Phantom, my name is Danny, and I'm going to disappear now and act like I don't exist."

There was an overwhelming pressure, his ears popped, and Bruce's opponent was...gone.

"Tt. He is clearly not good enough for you."

"Cute."

"Black Bat, no; watching out father figure flirt is not cute. B, if you're done swooning, we need to finish mopping up the cultists."

🥤 here, have some writing juice

Chapter ten is up! Come check it out.

Anxieties! Attack!

Someone, both petty and intelligent, gives Sandman a frosting covered brick.

Nightwing: How'd you know he was the Joker?

Danny: The who?

Nightwing: The crazy killer clown?

Danny: I got to beat up Santa AND a clown? I'd say it's a Christmas Miracle, but then I'd be legally obligated to fight myself for the blasphemy.

The Mall Grinch

Danny dislikes Christmas normally but being allowed to dress up as the Grinch in a mall in Gotham city when he got a holiday job at least made things interesting that year.

Getting to beat up a rouge as the Grinch in character was just the icing on the cake, at least he made one of the bats laugh.

Miles finally got an explanation on what comic con is.

Anybody else love the differences between interesting (complimentary) and interesting (derogatory)?

He'd tell his parents about being Spiderman if only to avoid the acute embarrassment.

Punkflower idea

Spiderpunk comes to Miles' universe and saves Miles while his dad is like ?!

Where's spiderman?

And spiderpunk goes I'm spiderman what are you talking about?

And now Jefferson thinks miles is dating the new spiderman.

Update : @menacevenice how dare you leave this in the tags I'm adding it cause yes
