Literally perfect.
Rich pregnant socialite: So we went to this clinic and let them manipulate our genes so we're 100% sure our child won't have any disease, he will have my hair and his father eyes and so much things we did for him! And you Bruce ?
Brucie: Found em in the trash. Except Tim, he found me in the trash.

Why did I just immediately imagine Danny yelling, "Hey guys, new Halfa dropped". Like a new character or weapon got added to a video game.
Jon gets hurt. Damian loses it.
Jon gets taken down. It looks pretty bad, there's blood, and Jon's barely conscious.
Damian, exposed to the Pits since birth, Liminal as fuck, absolutely having the capacity to be a halfa; loses his shit.
All of his suppressed Liminal abilities come out at once.
Shadow manipulation, enhanced strength and speed, flight; all of it.

Yeah the real one is currently hanging in his room after it was mysteriously stolen by Lil Matches.
Tumblr media
[after Bruce asks them to start making money]
Damian, carrying a painting: Where can I get this appraised?
Dick and Steph: *pull up in a sports car*
Dick: Quick, we gotta get the plates off.
Steph: Open the garage, let's go.
Jason: Hey guys, don't wait up. I'm working late tonight.
Jason: *puts on a ski mask*
Tim and Cass: *breaking open a safe*

You know that scene in the second live action Scooby-Doo movie of Shaggy and Scooby eating a giant cotton candy monster?
That, but it's Danny (and possibly any other ghost, most likely Dani) if they ever find Parallax (most likely by Hal siccing Danny on the Central Yellow Lantern Battery because now he can at least eliminate one major threat that way)
Tumblr media
Parallax: You fools should not have come here. Now you're stuck in here with me, the living embodiment of Fear itself. Parallax!
Danny and Dani: Embodiment... of... Fear!?
Parallax, grinning and prepared to make them suffer: Yes...
Danny and Dani both begin licking their lips at this all you can eat buffet of fear standing right in front of them, looking at him hungrily like wild animals about to consume their prey.
Parallax, eyes widen and he's ironically filled with fear when he realizes they're not trapped in here with him, he's trapped in here with them: What? What are you- Wait no! Stay back you fools, I will not- Ah! GRAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!
Short DP X DC Prompts #29
Danny absorbs fear to get energy. Danny gets sprayed with fear toxin and realizes “holy shit this is basically a fast food Version of fear. Chemically made product that’s worse for you but tastes even better.”

Every single Bat (plus Alfred) immediately begins homing in on Cass's location at full speed after a moment of realizing what they did to her while she was cursed. Recalling every single interaction with her prior while she was cursed at once as the flood emotions set in because, "What have we done!?"
Regardless of what they were doing at that moment, Cass currently overrides almost everything else as an immediate priority as they all rush right towards Orphan. After nobody paid attention to her for who knows how long, now everyone who was close to Black Bat can't stop paying attention to her out of a suffocating amount of guilt for their neglect and become a bunch of Mother Hens to her for at least a month or two.
Wes ruins everything
Wes had finally done it, he had finally realized why nobody ever belived him about Fenton and Phantom! It made so much sense now, he had been looking for an answer for years, thinking he was going crazy because everybody refused to see the Obvious!
He was Cursed!
He literally had an Ancestoral Curse on his Bloodline that made it so that all those born with the gift of Prophecy would be ignored! A Gift of Prophecy that he apparently had.
It was Cassandra's Curse, the one from Greek Myths. Apparently she was his Great×1000 Grandmother and passed down the Gift (and Curse) of Prophecy to him. And he knew how to break it!
All he needed to do was gather the right resources, chant the correct incantations, make sure not to accidentally summon a Demon in the process, and he could just foist the Curse onto some other poor schmuck. Sure it would suck for them, and he would loose his Gift of Prophecy, but Wes had been ignored for Years at this point, he needed validation!
So he did the Ritual, and he didn't mess it up, and he managed to get rid of the Curse.
Now all he had to do was convince everybody that he was right for the first time in his life! This was going to be great!
...
Cass didn't know what was going on.
A while ago, she had started getting these...gut feelings that she couldn't explain.
She would look over the details of a Case her Family was working on, and see a patern that the others were seemingly ignoring. Like when she realized that The Penguin was about to raid the Docks on the East Side, but the others were convinced it was going to be on the West.
But when she had tried to tell them, they had brushed her off. "We've already concluded that he will begin the Raid on the West side, no need to go to the East."
She had gone anyways, and low and behold she had been right. But nobody even acknowledged that she had been right at all, they had just wondered how they had missed the signs, not even questioning how she had known.
It wasn't limited to Cases either. Even small things, like telling her brother's where the TV remote was were brushed off, and hours later they would still be looking, never even having checked where she told them.
It seemed that no matter what, nobody cared about her point of view anymore. They kept brushing her off, telling her she was wrong, actively ignoring her ideas.
And it was getting worse. They were starting to ignore her more and more, forgetting she was in the room, not calling her down for Dinner, even forgetting to check in on her during Patrol.
She knew that there must be something going on, Magical or otherwise, but when she tried bringing it up with her Dad or JLD, they would also Brush her off.
Her Family was forgetting her. And they didn't even realize it.
...
Danny was not okay at the moment.
When he had gone to school a few weeks ago and noticed everybody staring at him, he didn't give it much thought. Maybe Dash or Paulina had spread another Rumor about him again, not too out of the ordinary.
When his name had been called over the Intercom, he hadn't thought much of that either. His grades were falling even more than usual, so he assumed his Guidance Counselor wanted to have another talk with him.
When he walked into the Principals Office to see both of his Parents and some GIW Agents, that's when he realized something big must have happened.
He didn't have much of a chance to react when the Shields went up, but he did react when the first Ecto-Blast scorched the wall behind him. His Parents began to scream at him as they fired their Blasters, something about replacing somebody? He didn't know, he was pretty preoccupied at the moment.
It took more effort than he cared to admit to escape the Room, but a stray shot to the hidden Shield Projector under the Principals Desk proved to be his saving grace. Unfortunately the moment he escaped the Office, he was met with a veritable Army of GIW Agents, all armed to the Teeth with Weapons he had never even seen before.
He managed to get away for a moment, hiding in the Bathroom as the Agents chasing him passed it by. That's when he met Wes.
He obviously hadn't been expecting him, but the moment he saw him Wes put on a smug look. "Oh hi Fenton, trying to get away from the other students?"
Danny had replied with confusion, "What the hell are you talking about?!"
"I finally managed to convince everybody about you, now everyone knows that you're Phantom! I'll bet you're hiding from all of the other Students hounding you for questions right?"
"...it was you?"
"Yeah, so? I finally get to be right!"
"...You absolute MORON-"
That was the last Danny got to say to Wes before an Ecto-Blast launched him through a Wall, seeing his face morph into a look of Shock just before the dust cloud covered it up.
Since that day, Danny had been on the Run. Nowhere was safe anymore now that the GIW knew both his Human and Ghost's faces, but he had to keep running. He crossed state Lines already, and was on his way to the next Ecto-Rich City he could sense, somewhere in New Jersey.
He cursed his Fenton Luck every day. Why had everybody believed Wes this time?! Nobody had ever belived him before, nobody even seemed to acknowledge his existence after a while! What had changed?
Danny just wanted to rest already.
...
Cass had taken to Patrolling alone recently. She had taken to doing a lot of things alone, actually.
After the first month, it seemed that nobody could remember that she was in the room with them, even if she was within their eyeline, she just faded into the background. By the 2 Month Mark they had stopped talking to her entirely, although occasionally she would get a Text or two from her dad. By the 3 month Mark she was completely invisible, and By the 5th she had been forced to get used to it.
She didn't know what was going on, was it a Meta Ability? Magic? Alien Tech? She had no idea.
She had begun to cook for herself after the first time Alfred forgot to set her Plate at the Table. The same with Washing her own Clothes, Cleaning her Room, and Paying her Phone Bills. At the very least the Automated Allowance Payments to her Account had kept up, or she wouldn't have been able to go to her favorite Cafe anymore.
It was bittersweet for her. She used to go to that Cafe every week with Alfred, but he didn't even come on his own anymore. Had he only come for her? Did she really mean that much to them? It hurt, she finally had a family that cared for her and suddenly she didn't exist to them.
She sat alone at a Table, ignored by everyone in the Cafe as usual, when a new face walked in. He looked about her age, a little roughed up, walking with a sort of cautious gaint, as if he was scared of something. His Body Language seemed to agree with her assessment, as his body practically screamed "Worry" in its movements.
Cass stopped watching at that point. Just another Gotham Teen, probably worried over something like getting not having enough money or getting mugged on the way home. It was a Common sight in Gotham.
She attention was pricked again for a moment when she heard a voice speak up. "Uh, can I sit here?"
She ignored it, he wasn't talking to her.
"Um, excuse me? Miss? Could I sit here?" He repeated.
She ignored him again, he wasn't talking to her. Nobody talked to her.
"Hello? Do you have Earbuds in?" He said, and he waved his hand in front of her face.
Her face. He waved his hand. In front of Her Face.
He was talking to her.
She looked up at him sharply, seeming to startle him for a moment before he asked, "So, is that a no?"
"You can see me?" She asked.
He looked a bit bewildered, but replied "Uh, yeah? Why would I not? Are you...a Ghost?". That last part sounded a bit suspicious.
"No. Not a Ghost. But nobody sees me. Ever. Nobody remembers me." She replied. She had never spoken this much to anybody outside of her Family, but in the past few weeks she had been starved for interaction.
He seemed slightly interested, and sat down at her table. He looked her in the eyes, and said "Do you...talk about it?"
She smiled. He could see her.

I'm imagining Ra's/Vlad trying to intimidate Tim/Danny (maybe he's done so numerous times by this point because it's one of the Bats, maybe he's caught on to Tim being Danny before Tim even got their past life's memories back), but Tim out of the blue looks at Ra's dead in the eyes and calls him "Fruitloop" with a tone Ra's could never forget.
Basically almost like that scene in the Superior Spider-Man comics when Peter (post-getting his body back) makes a quip and Green Goblin realizes the true Spider-Man has returned.
Tumblr media
Ra's, doing some genetic evil scheme and threatening Bruce: Alright now Detective, are you prepared to join me or watch your father die?
Tim, recently got his memories back and already knows: This again? You honestly haven't changed a bit, Fruitloop.
Ra's, eyes becoming wide and lighting up in recognition at the nickname as the realization Tim got his memories back sets in: ...
Ra's, now with a toothy grin and already ready to throw down with Phantom again: It's you.
Tim, secretly happy there's at least one person from his past with him here regardless if it is Plasmius: The one and only.
Bruce, confused why Tim and Ra's are acting like they got a lot of history and beef: ???
DpxDC #14
Idea that Tim is The Reincarnation of Danny but Ras is The Reincarnation of Vlad. I think that Vlad would get his Memories Back when Danny is born. it'd be really funny for him just to devolve into a comically evil supervillain when everyone's like he is a deadly danger and he's just laughing as he realized that his Nemesis has been born.
 I think Danny wouldn't get their memories back until a little bit after they've been Robin. It's their first near death experience and then they're like God damn it, can I never not be a vigilante. 
While Danny's on a mission in his early days as robin. he run into the league of assassins and end up getting kidnapped. I just want Vlad to try and intimidate this new Robin while Danny just locks eyes with him and knows. Danny will be like, you are no longer a threat to me. 
 Danny uses the Lazarus pit to talk to Clockwork to get Bruce back but as far as anyone is concerned he just went to the League of Assassins. It's also really funny if no one notices that they have this rivalry until after Bruce's back. like in Cannon where Ras wants him to be his heir but instead it's just Danny and Vlad who have way too much history not to throw down the second day they see each other. Everyone expects swords and verbal sparring when in reality they see each other and instantly fist fight.

...May I add for consideration. The threat was Dan, and Clockwork talked to Bruce and sent him back only mere moments after Dan's defeat in the past and the De-Aged Danny is actually Dan.
Cause adding Dan to the picture gives us a lot of interesting directions to take this prompt.
Like Bruce basically, either knowingly or unknowingly, was given a de-aged (and optionally amnesiac) version of the same entity that destroyed his future in the first place.
Further angst potential idea, Bruce has basically already prepared to deal with the threat known as Phantom ahead of time to ensure he doesn't become the ultimate enemy of the Justice League, not in this timeline. Unbeknownst to him is that the Danny of this timeline is the one who defeated Dan in the original timeline.
The heroes have lost.
Superman, Wonder Woman, and Shazam are dead. The only thing that’s kept Batman alive was his wit, but that’s not enough.
His wit didn’t save his children.
His wit didn’t save Alfred.
His wit didn’t stop the world from burning.
He’s become desperate for a miracle. He had never been desperate before, but all hope had been lost. He was one of the last teams of heroes that had survived the initial onslaught. He had no contingency plans, nothing he could invent. No weapon, no weakness.
His desperate plea was so strong it went through the fabric of the dimensions. Clockwork, who normally had no intention of looking into that dimension, decided to look at the timeline. He didn’t like what he saw, so he appeared before Bruce Wayne in the middle of the night. After a brief discussion, he decided to send Bruce back in time.
When Bruce opened his eyes next, he scrambled to find the date. He almost laughed in relief when he realized that this was the day he had become Batman. The day he had first donned the cowl. He was over twenty years in the past, and he still had the knowledge of what had brought the timeline to the brink of disaster last time.
Clockwork gave him a gift. A son named Danny, to be raised by Bruce. The boy was a newborn infant, with a head full of black hair and startling blue eyes. He didn’t know what Danny’s backstory was, or why Clockwork had possession of the infant, but he wasn’t going to ask questions. His world was safe, and he had another chance to prevent the end of the world twenty years early.
He would love his son as if he was his own flesh and blood. Then he would be the best Batman the world had ever seen.

You think Tim is bound by the same laws of reality as us mere mortals?
Ok but jokes aside. I'm just imagining he steals Danny's binder like a fuckin Skyrim character as he walks by him, and Danny immediately realizes it gone after a moment before seeing it broken around Tim's chest and that leads to the original prompt.
"Stabby!" Damian heard the white haired teen call out to him as he jumped behind the younger vigilante, "Defend my honor!"
Damian looked at him, perplexed as Red Robin rushed towards them, "I said I was sorry!" The boy behind Robin practically growled, "You ruined my binder! Ruined!" The boy almost threw his hands in the air at the last statement but seemed to catch himself last minute and continued to cover his chest and what Damian deduced was his otherwise bare chest.
Damian had enough decency to divert his gaze.
Black bat chose this moment to come to thier rescue with a black binder with little stars and constellations on it. "How did you know I liked stars?" He asked, baffled, then a moment later, "How did you know my size?!"
Black Bat didn't answer and instead signed at him to try it on.
The white haired kid quietly agreed and bolted over to where batman had been hiding in the shadows. He let out a surprised, "Hm?!" as the possible meta slipped into Batmans cape and used it as a glorified changing room.
Red tried to approach but was stopped by Robin raising his sword, "I fully intend to defend his honor if I need to."
"Oh my God! It was an accident! I swear!"
"How?" Black bat asked quietly."

I'm suddenly imagining Danny getting hit by that nuke without flinching, and just turning to Earth slowly as he approaches like a curious cat. Humanity now sees this massive figure looking at them with sparkly eyes and the potential that it could kill them...
Then they find out humanity tried to nuke a baby as Danny leaves with a wave.
Prompt 257
Now Danny loves space. He loves everything about it, to the point his core quite literally is space. And he’s also a baby ghost, even if he could argue he’s not in human form. But see, being baby has an honestly great consequence once it’s noticed- despite the Observants’ best attempts at hiding it, the assholes. 
Of course he would be far more worried- and even a bit pissed- if his caretaker wasn’t who it was. Look, he’d never met Clockwork’s siblings before, but apparently everyone was really against Clockwork himself adopting. 
But Clockwork as his uncle is fine. Besides, his caretaker is Space! Space itself is holding him, cooing gentle words in the sounds of the very cosmos. And they’re huge, like parts of their body going through portals so they can fit outside Long-Now sized big- and apparently Clockwork can get just as big and they can get even bigger- 
Okay, he needs to take a breath- even if he doesn’t need to breathe- to stop his squealing because holy Realms this is so cool. 
Space is awesome! And he’s getting so much more rest than he did in Amity- and even if Space sort of shrugged at the idea of school at first, they did help him set up online schooling. So there’s that, and it’s just the start! 
He gets to learn so much about space and it’s honestly kind of… nice? To be taken care of? And he can do whatever he needs for his Core and Obsession with only a few interruptions to take care of his living needs. Erm, sort of living needs? 
But even that gets turned into a bit of play or even a lesson too! He’s honestly having such a good time right now! He’s learning so much about spaaace! And dimensions! And interdimensional portals and- oops! No one saw that. 
Ahem- But he’s learning so much about space and getting to explore other dimensions with Cosmos! And sure he no longer looks as human as he once did and all that, but he’s seen so many people who also don’t look human that does it really matter? 
Of course it doesn’t, and he matches his sort-of-dad! Even though the streaks of color in their hair are more of a brown-red like they’re literally bleeding out the cosmos around them instead of it fading to void and space like his own. But still! They match and it’s fun! 
And they’re going to go on another trip from the in-between to one of the dimension realities! He’s going to start a game of tag this time he thinks! But no cheating with portals or bending space! Tag! 
Look, the Justice League? Not paid enough for this. In fact, technically not paid at all due to being volunteers (not that it stopped them from finding money in their accounts) but still. 
There is some sort of figure… being… thing… zooming around the asteroid belt, about the size of Earth itself. Let them repeat themselves. A planet-sized creature (are those hands or paws? Tail or simply its body stretching? Hair or the Abyss-) is currently darting around the asteroid belt like a child running through grass. 
That is, without noticing or caring if something bug-sized might be crushed. And they are very much bug sized, as the governments are concerned about. Like really concerned about. Like talking about trying to nuke the entity if it wanders closer sort of concerned. 
Which they are all very concerned and very much like, against. Because it isn’t seeming to notice the asteroids it’s knocking into their area. It’s like… not a space whale or eel or anything like that but also is something like that. 
And they would also maybe like to see if they can attempt to talk it down first maybe and-
oh. 
Oh. 
That creature is the baby. And mama just arrived, stretching across the entire galaxy, from them to Pluto and beyond, like something took the cosmos and shaped it like clay into some sort of form. Like reality itself has wandered into their galaxy with what they are suddenly realizing must be a very young child. 
Shit, they really have to make sure no one tries to piss either of these things off-

Accidentally inspired by this post because I misread it initially.
Tumblr media
I misread it as Tony Stark and was confused for a moment until I realized my mistake, and now I'm suddenly falling down a thought route with Tim replacing his Red Robin suit with an Iron Man-esce armor and making every single one of his siblings and Bruce beg him for their own when they see him flying around instead of using a Grappling Hook and incapacitate Bane with a few Repulsor blasts.
Just... Tim becomes the DC version of Iron Man and makes every single person in their right mind suffer.
Alternatively, AU where Tim is in the Marvel universe and follows Iron Man around before becoming his new sidekick whether Tony wants it or not, while Tony is wondering how the hell did this kid get his hand on what looks like one of his armors.
...What do you mean you made this with a box of scraps!? (Iron Dad is so proud)

(Re-Reblogged because I accidentally went on a tangent that probably should be its own post)
I'll be honest I thought that I said Tony Stark and was so confused for a moment, but now I'm going down a long thought route on it.
Anyway Tim being invisible in plain sight when he is not wearing a suit is hilarious to me. Like he just goes to a coffee shop in regular clothes nobody bats (heh) an eye, but if he goes in a suit he doesn't know the meaning of peace for what feels like hours.
I'm imagining Tim shows up for a meeting in casual wear (he was running late after classes and didn't have time to change into his emergency suit) and nobody takes him seriously for most of the meeting until Bruce shows up to ask Tim for important documents or something.
Based on this addition
To this post
Tumblr media
Timothy Drake Wayne, youngest CEO, Times person of the year a year ago (you choose why), and all around impressive business individual is easily recognizable wherever he goes…so long as he’s in a suit. As a CEO Timothy is both a staunch professional and a blatant gen z kid which makes him somewhat beloved and well known by everyone across the county.
But then Tim is wandering around Gotham in a pair of jeans and a flannel over long sleeves and no body takes a second glance.
He’s sitting at the skatepark laughing at “Timothy Drake Wayne funniest moments” compilations with other skaters while they take a break and no one knows the video is about him.
Timothy has to take a public flight and the guy at security checks his ID and then looks up at Tim like “hey you have the same name as that one kid CEO.” And it takes everything in Tim’s power to not immediately respond with “that’s because he is me?” Instead he slaps on the biggest grin and says “what a weird coincidence.”
He’s dressed down sitting in first class because he’s not a heathen and he’s gonna be stuck in a suit for this entire conference. The entire time this lady next to him kept scoffing about his appearance and how he probably never worked for a thing in his life. About how the quality of this aircraft company is going down if they’re letting people like Tim occupy first class. Tim, meanwhile, immediately clocked this woman as the CFO of a company WE was considering partnership with. Lol, fat chance that goes through now.
Tim keeps a suit at Wayne Tower for the emergency meetings he sometimes gets called into. He’s heading into the building when the security of the visiting company shoves him out of the way cause they assume he’s some teen. Needless to say that when he walks into the conference room cleaned an suited up, he found complete delight on watching all the blood drain from their face.
Tim makes fun of Superman because he doesn’t even have to wear glasses to get away with his secret identity. He’s not even trying to hide and people still look over him in a crowd when he’s not in a suit.
Some shady company is trying to buy the skatepark Tim regularly visits and has bribed the GCPD to arrest kids for “loitering” or “trespassing.” Or something. Tim gets arrested one time, sends a snap selfie like “lol got arrested.” and then buys the land the skate park is on and also the company that tried to buy it to build a resort.
There is an entire hashtag full of selfies people have taken with a dressed down Tim out and about in Gotham all captioned with something like “lol, I found our favorite teenage CEO’s doppelgänger!”

Diana: Alright any more adoptions we should be informed of?
In the background one the screens being dedicated to keeping track of the news shows a clip from Gotham's News of Bruce Wayne chasing some small child with black hair and blue eyes. The former was holding adoption papers and yelling about how he can help him, but the latter was yelling something about "Another fruitloop" and seemed extremely determined to escape Bruce.
Bruce: None that have occurred... Yet.
i like the idea that bruce just shows up to league meetings with his birds with absolutely no explanation offered
i mean this man frequently stalks his coworkers and knows everything that's happening in their personal lives and i think he'd forget that HE is the weird one for doing it and not everybody automatically knows when he's acquired a new child
so he just shows up at the watchtower with a new bird and literally says nothing about it . just sits at his chair with the latest robin standing next to him and literally doesn't acknowledge that anything is different and it gets even more confusing when they change their costumes and names 😭
like
20-something bruce: and containing this may be a matter of-flash did you have a question
barry: uh. yeah. sorry, what is that?
20-something bruce: (glancing at 9 yr old dick who has been next to him for 45 minutes) that's robin. obviously. as i was saying,
-
early 30s bruce, who hasn't shown up with a robin for a few years, entering with a nightwing and a jason todd robin:
barry:
diana:
hal:
j'onn:
bruce: what.

hal: do you like clone them or
-
mid 30s bruce, quietly talking with a clearly-not-sixteen-years-old robin in the corner after being without one for two years:
hal:
diana:
barry:
j'onn:
clark:
bruce:
tim:
bruce: this one followed me
-
late 30s bruce zeta-beaming in with a nightwing, a slightly older robin, and an absolutely BUILT man in a red hood:
barry: did you hire a bodyguard
bruce: no.
barry: whos mr red over there
bruce: you don't remember my second one???
barry:
hal:
diana:
j'onn:
clark:
barry: did. did that one not die
jason: got better
-
later 30s bruce, quietly showing around a blonde robin:
hal:
bruce: don't ask.
hal: i didn't say anything
-
40 yr old bruce, making intense, unbroken eye contact with a black shadow:
clark, leaning over to talk to tim: what are they doing
tim, not looking up from his fancy ipad: do i look like i know that
-
red robin popping in unnanounced in the middle of a league meeting: batman is alive.
barry: who the FUCK are you???
-
batman, some minutes later, trailed by what is CLEARLY a new robin: did red robin happen to pass through here????
barry: i have several questions
-
no-longer-lost-in-the-time-stream bruce, talking to batgirl, black bat, and the signal:
hal: did you get three more.
bruce: no. just one.
hal: i shouldn't have asked, my bad
-
mid 40s bruce wayne, stepping out of the zeta tube: sorry i'm late
diana: not to worry. let's get start-
bruce: i have a few more coming behind me
zeta tube: 🌀🌀🌀
jason: hi

Ah that's fair, I didn't consider that route.
My thought process was more based on the entire thing hinging on Danny's exact wording, either because pressure from the Observants forced him to rush the process or he learned that the GIW weren't real government agents and instead a branch of a larger organization and thus assumed it would probably be safe to go after them and all others connected to the GIW.
Possibly alternative to just killing them, he seeks to bring all GIW and those connected to them to the Courts of the Ghost King for judgment of which is honestly more likely for Danny, since he probably wouldn't be too keen on just killing, even if it is the GIW, and would want to ensure he can separate the guilty from the innocent at least.
I mean either way what reason would King Phantom have to assume it's possible this would have extended to the Justice League. It's not like he's gonna enter his newfound court in a week and see Batman front and center of those he had to judge... right?
Either way I just thought it was a funny thought route of Danny not thinking this through (alternatively it was possibly intentional by the Observants who might have a bone to pick with the Justice League for some stupid reason and Danny didn't realize)
DPxDC Prompt
The GIW were created from a branch of the League of Assassins, their purpose was to isolate places with a high likelihood of spawning a new Lazarus Pit in the future. The reason they took on the looks of white suits was they needed a visible presence to make the civilians in the area cooperate, by playing the part of government agents.
It worked well in the beginning, until they learned about the portal (after Pariah sucked the town into the ghost zone), then they infiltrated the town on mass. Something was different about this hotspot then it was in Gotham or anywhere else. Something connected to the very source of the pit's power and Ra's wanted it for himself.
As the town was soon locked down and ghosts were hunted with prejudice, the governing bodies within the infinite realms took notice. And a newly crowned Prince was given no choice but to watch as war was declared against the GIW and in extension the LOA.
Ghostly skeletons rose from every Lazarus pit in the world and hunted down everyone who even spoke affiliation with the LOA or GIW, League bases were emptied overnight and Ra's found facing off against the Fright Knight himself.
The LOA/GIW stood no chance and by the time the rest of the world even suspected anything was going on, it was over.
When the Bats realize LOA activity has been quiet for over the past week after a day or so of frantic communications and sightings of members disappearing in broad daylight (that they have been watching with concern). They are left to try and piece together what happened and if it is a sign of something dangerous to come.

Alright I know this is supposed to be angst and all... But I'm suddenly imagining Danny learning the truth and subverting their expectations.
Instead of him being all, "You all lied to me! Was anything of the mentorship real!? It's not fair I am the one who has to suffer for your mistakes..."
Danny cries on the ground needing comfort as the Justice League Dark looks absolutely guilty, trying to console the child they didn't mean to hurt like this.
It's instead has Danny go, "Wait hold on. You're telling me that according to this caveat you used when you summoned me that I now belong to John Constantine? So what you're saying is... I'm HIS responsibility now."
Danny runs away laughing maniacally, already planning to create absolute chaos and let John take the blame as his responsibility.
Constantine is chasing right after him, reluctantly trying to stop Danny with his voice. However the Ghost Boy is so focused on his chaos that he's ignoring John to the point his voice is white noise, the Hellblazer's commands fall on deaf ears.
The Justice League Dark is under some...misinformation. Now John feels like a berk.
JLD had been operating under the assumption that Phantom was an Ancient, a being very close to being a god. When they heard that Amity had been straight up dragged into the Infinite Realms, and that Phantom had defeated Pariah Dark, to them that meant that Phantom had allowed it to happen in the first place for an excuse to attack Pariah.
Because Realm's Ghosts are notoriously territorial, and always itching for a fight.
So John Constantine agreed to summon the little tosser, and put a caveat into the summoning circle that bound Phantom to his will.
John had already pissed off multiple demons, why not add a Realm's Ancient to the list?
Then they summon Danny, in human form.
John very, very quickly realizes that this kid is Phantom. He also very, very quickly realizes that this is a actual teenager, and not an Ancient. A teenager who is so scared he's shaking, and paler than his Ghost form.
And he just enslaved said scared teen, who has no idea who John is or what is happening. From the looks of it, the kid didn't even realize he could be summoned.
John mentally scrambles. Old plan bad, need new one now.
"Just realized you don't have a mentor, kid," he hears himself say, and wants to stop talking immediately but can't because he's gotta make it up to the kid somehow. "Figured I'd take that spot. Bond I just slapped on ya means that if you're in trouble, I'll know. If I'm in trouble, you'll know. That way the whole 'Pariah Dark' thing doesn't happen again, yeah?"
The kid seems to buy it, and Zatanna is staring at him in disbelief.
But it's fine; if she keeps her mouth shut and doesn't say anything, the kid'll never know, because John has zero intention to use the binding the way he wrote it down.
