Could you write something where Danny is a teen dad to de aged Ellie? Bonus points if he lives in Crimr Alley and beats the Joker to a pulp for hurting his kid
Danny is trying his best.
It's not easy being a father at age sixteen. It's not easy having to leave his home in fear of what his parents will do to his clone-turned-daughter.
It's not easy watching her every day, wondering if her core will break down further, and instead of just de-aging this time, she'll end up dead. It's not easy worrying about her health in the most crime-infested city with a terrible job and relying on his pitiful check or the funds his sister can sneak to him.
But nothing good in this world is easy, and he wouldn't trade Dani for anything. Yes, she had lost her memories and acted like a real two-year-old, but he adored watching her eyes light up as she relearned the world.
Danny loved her to bits, and even buying her those cheap coloring books and crayons from the dollar store made Dani smile brighter than any star. They may struggle to pay rent and bills or buy food, but Danny can always scrape by, keeping her warm, fed, and house.
He worked at three different dinners, each part-time, since none of them were legally allowed to hire him full-time because of his age. Danny didn't have a single day off, but he had a few hours every day with Dani, which was enough.
While he worked, he asked his next-door neighbor to watch Dani. Now, it may not be the best thing to trust a stranger with his daughter but said neighbor is a ghost and one of the friendly kind.
Danny met her when he first moved in. Apparently, her haunting was one of the reasons the rent was so cheap. She never gave him her real name, but she stayed with Dani all day and had enough ectoplasm to physically touch things. Danny could sense her intentions with his core and knew her motherly adoration for Dani was authentic.
Privately, Danny called her Three since she haunted apartment three, and she sort of looked like she stepped out of the nineteen-thirties, complete with an attractive Transatlantic accent. She was an up-and-coming radio co-host, taking a segment to read stories to housewives before being murdered in her home.
Three never said why or how it happened, but she had been haunting the apparent complex for so long; her lore was well documented among the locals.
They say one of the Waynes had killed her after learning that his wife had fancied Three. But it was never proven and it became another theory that the rich would laugh at every once in a while.
(Three's face always twisted whenever she heard the name Wayne. Her hand would always reach up for a heart-shaped locket she refused to take off even in death.)
Since most people couldn't see ghosts unless exposed to ectoplasm for enough time, the stories of her attacks on anyone trying to get close to her apartment snowballed out of control. Danny thought it was unfair how evil they made her sound. Though it's true she had a strong distaste for men, she had a soft spot for children.
Danny had just been through the wringer; he had double shifts, one stacked right after the other. One of the dinners had let two people go after they had been arrested for moving illegal substances, and Danny had to cover until they found a replacement.
A woman had yelled at him for almost thirty minutes straight about a wait time for her surprise party of fifteen. A man threw up on their counter, and to top it all off, a kid had run into him while he was carrying a tray of food, causing him to spill everything.
Thankfully, the mother was horrified and apologized profoundly, but it had been almost too much for him. So when he was sweeping up broken plates and saw Three franticly flying at him screaming about some clown, well, Danny was doing his best.
And his best was fighting things far stronger than he.
____________________________________________________________
Jim Gordon's early afternoon gets interrupted by the Joker only three minutes after he is supposed to head home for the day. After escaping from Arkham a few months ago, the clown went to the ground, and everyone was nervous about what he was planning.
Jim's team hadn't heard any whispers or had any idea what the Joker was up to, which made everything worse. Usually, when something big and wrong was going to happen, they would catch at least one thing beforehand.
That's why the sudden broadcast of the lunatic had everyone jumping out of their skins.
"Good evening, Gotham. I want to welcome you to tonight's show. It's going to be killer." Joker cackles. He has somehow hacked into almost every screen in the city, his white devilish face appearing on TVs, phones, tablets, and even roadside advertising.
His voice echoes through the city as Jim barks at his employees to trace the signal.
"Recently, I felt it necessary to remind everyone that one is never too young to have a funny bone." The Joker continues, holding up a plush toy to the camera. He waves it a little, pressing the ginning bunny as close as possible so people can see its mouth has been sewed into a sickly wide smile. "I'm sure a few of you have noticed that certain school buses never arrived home."
The blood in his veins goes cold. How many buses? Which school? What kids were they? How old? Why had they not heard of the kids not arriving until now?
There are too many questions and nowhere near enough answers. Jim hates how useless he feels playing this sick man's game.
"But not to worry! You'll see your little ones again! After being guests on my very own game show! Every thirty minutes, one lucky child will get to compete for your amusement, and if they survive, they get an extraordinary prize-!"
His words are cut short by a dark figure flinging itself at the Joker and punching him to the ground. Thank every dark cloud in the sky that the Bat was on the case.
"Basty! Have you come to play- wait. You aren't Batsy." Joker's delighted tone melts into anger as the figure straightens to a young teenage boy.
"You have my daughter. Give her back." The teen tells the clown, voice flat and cold. "Three said your goons took her from her balcony."
"My boys take a lot of people." Joker laughs hoping up a flower. With a press of his finger, the teenager is covered in Joker Vemon. Jim's heart falls as the boy stumbles back, rubbing at his eyes. Joker laughs harder until the kid picks up a chair and slams it onto his head.
There wasn't even a chuckle from the boy. Huh.
"You have my daughter. Give. Her. Back."
"Or what?" The Joker taunts, snapping his fingers. There are sounds of people moving, likely the goons. "Kill him."
The boy doesn't seem to react to the men rushing at him. Someone knocks the camera stand over, and the view of the fight is taken away as it rolls on the ground. Thankfully, it ends up pointed at a wall, where they watch the shadows of the teenager and the Joker's goons fight.
It's hard to tell who's winning, with all the shadows blending together whenever they get close, but the fact that he hasn't heard the kid drop yet means he's holding his own. Jim's eyes narrow at the wallpaper, trying to figure out why it looks so familiar.
It hits him just as a little girl phases through the wall. Yes, phases, as if walking through it like a ghost. This would make sense since -
"That's Nightowl Apparemtents!" Ricky, the new cop from Crime Alley, cries, echoing Jim's thoughts.
"It's what?" Asks Sara
"Nightowl apparements. It's the oldest place in Crime Alley and one of the most haunted. They said a lover of a Wayne was killed there. She kills anyone who tries to rent the place. They do ghost tours occasionally, but no one dares to her hallway. That wallpaper is famous because it's the only one in Gotham with the original founding families' symbols." Ricky explains, watching the little girl tilt her head and then start to flout. Everyone shivers as a second figure bleeds out of the wall behind her.
This one is much more blurry, but the faith outline of a beautiful woman covered in blood hovers behind the girl staring at the fight. She's dressed in clothes that Jim is sure was decades ago, and unlike the little girl, she makes him feel very unsafe.
The ghost of Apparement three. Barbara had gone through a paranormal phase when she was fifteen and dragged Jim to all the haunted places in Gotham. Nowhere had made him feel as uneased as Gotham's cemetery- the most haunted place- but those apartments were a close second.
The ghost spots the camera, sneering at it and Jim actually jumps back.
"Oh, gods!" Ricky shouts, turning his head away. "I'm so sorry for looking into your eyes without permission!"
"It's not a telephone! It can't hear you, Ricky!"
"That's not the point, Sara!"
"Daddy!" the little girl cries, holding up her finger. "I got an ow-ow."
At once, the sounds of combat stopped, and then the screams began. It's nothing like Jim has ever heard. He's been on the force long enough to know what a human in pain sounds like, and those sounds—well, he prays that the Joker had decided to bring in animals.
If it makes him sick to his stomach he is worried about the regular people watching.
The little girl doesn't look away, tilting her head to the side like a curious child of two would and still holding her tiny up. After a moment, Jim realizes the screaming has stopped. There is silence before Joker falls beside the girl, beaten beyond recognition.
If it weren't for his purple sit, Jim would have thought him a goon.
The little girl doesn't blink an eye as the teenager rushes to her, kicking the Joker.
"Let me the ow-ow." The teenager demands, taking her hand in his. There is a moment of tense silence as the woman's ghost louts around him with a sneer. "A papercut! You gave my daughter a papercut!"
The ghost woman screeches, rage in every part of her cry. Jim feels his heart beating out of his chest, frozen in absolute terror as she reaches down for the Joker and drags him through the floor.
The man's screams are heard even through the muffled flooring.
"Holy shit," Sara breathes, voice trembling.
"This is why no one with a brain messes with Nightowl's ghost," Ricky hisses, rubbing at his cross. "How that kid go it to attack the Joker and not him and his daughter-"
The teenager gathers the toddler into his arms, his image fading with a hiss.
"-That was a ghost. The teenager that beat the Joker to near death was a ghost." Ricky swallows. "I am never stepping foot down that street again."
Somewhere in Gotham, a woman is sweating bullets after the feed is cut by Batman, who arrives with the rest of the Bats minutes afterward.
"Say, Mom, wasn't that the boy you were yelling at today in Teddy's Diner for Uncle Ron's birthday."
The woman's eyes swing back to the TV, where the waiter's face is frozen on the screen, his green glowing eyes almost staring into her soul. "Yes.....yes it was."
"Oh crud. I think we're cursed now, Mom. Way to go."

I’ve seen quite a few good ficlets of Ellie calling out “Daddy” or “Papa” and having Danny show up in a blaze of glory in front of the Justice League, which is all well and good, but you know what I want?
I want Danny, and by extension Ellie, to be established as a massive force of strength by having him simply bring her home
Imagine, if you will, that members of the Justice League have been trying to track down Ellie. Perhaps she destroyed a GIW facility, inadvertently revealing the government branch’s existence to the JL in the carnage. Or maybe a massively powerful ghost had attacked a city, and was taken down by Ellie single-handedly. Either way, the JL doesn’t want to hurt her, just talk and figure out whether or not she’s a threat. And if she’s not a threat, well, she seems so young, she probably needs a helpful, guiding hand, right?
So the JL members, let’s go with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and let’s throw Martian Manhunter in there too, they track down Ellie, and try to approach her, but before they get the chance, a powerful villain attacks, like, say, an Amazo. Yeah, let’s go with an Amazo.
So, they’re fighting off this Amazo, and Ellie tries to step in and help, but Amazo mimics her powerful ectoplasmic attacks, injuring her greatly. Before any of the JL can get to her to make sure she wasn’t fatally wounded, she screams out a word in another language, and the sky tears open. A large hands rips through the rift, slamming the Amazo into the ground. As the hand lifts, it reveals that the Amazo is now completely frozen in green-tinted ice. Of course, this display also distracts the Justice League from the second rift opening up beneath Ellie, the hand from said rift gently cupping Ellie and carrying her through. After the second hand has fully carried Ellie through, and the second rift is closed, the first hand pulls back up and the initial rift closes. It’s only once both rifts are closed that the heroes realize that the young girl is gone. It doesn’t take long for them to put two and two together.
Back in the ghost zone, Lord Phantom, ancient of space, frets over his tiny clone’s injuries.

I'm back with a part 4 if you want to do it it's kind of more of a crack write I just need Klarion trying to explain the family tree
But not explaining how he was made at all So Young Justice and the Justice League are now convinced that a the Ghost King was a teenage parent who is now 27 years old and just passed college with a degree in astronomy and machinery
Klarion's other parent is a a crazy fruit loop 64 year old millionaire who went to college with Klarion's Mom parents who had an emotionally unhealthy obsession with his mom's mother and then it passed on to his mom.
And he has an older sister who is technicality a clone of his mom but also has the bastards DNA so fundamentally making Ellie Vlad Master and Mom's first born kid but there's six other siblings that Klarion had that died back a while back but Mom got granddad who's apparently the time lord AKA Cronos which is a whole another long story to go back in time and save those kids get them fixed up and now Klarion technicality has seven older siblings which all do their own things
And then he starts mentioning his uncle who is a 9 ft yeti his technicality auntie who is a medieval ghost princess who can turn into a dragon his auntie Pandora and his his grandfather cronos
My names for the six other clone children are Donald (he/him), Cecelia (they/she), Bartholomew(Them/They), Kyle AKA Bite(He/It), Brutus(He/They), and then there's Danna (She/Her) who actually really like the name Dan and asked Klarion if could have it when Klarion changed his name
Sorry if this is a little bit too much I've just really been thinking about au for this after the last part you made I hope this helps you with your writing or at least makes you laugh but I really love the idea of Danny's AKA somewhat clone children and finding their own personalities and and fighting themselves out of just being failed clone of their mom also I love the idea of Danny going back in time to save the rest of the clone kids cuz now he's a mature adult who wants to save their lives and wants them to grow into their own people.
(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
I probably did way to much research into all the fandoms I am in to see what I could tie into this... And yet this feels shorter than it should but I also currently lack the time to add more. But for now I hope this will be satisfactorily.
Also this family tree idea especially the part of saving the melted clones. LOVE IT!
So even though it took me a while! here is Part 4 you inspired! Thanks so much for the ask!
------------------
"Dude, you are making us only curious!" Impulse spoke up as he sat down next to Klarion who had his head in his hands. "Like you and your mom can't just drop your family lore like that!"
The witch boy on the other hand looked up with narrowed eyes at the speedster. "What lore?"
"Let's see, the part that apparently a Vlad tried to kill your Grandpa to make friends several time. That your mom is 'ghost' adopted by the lord of time Cronos and Pandora, which makes us family too by the way, and that you have a sister that apparently is even crazier than what we got to know of your family so far." Wonder Girl counted off her fingers next to him grinning as she mentioned the part of probably being a part of his 'crazy' family too. Which hell yea, that sounded like a lot of fun to be explored she would have to talk with Wonder Woman about that as soon as possible.
"Also..." Red Robin added as he flipped through the photo album that apparently no one remembered he had. He was turning it around and pointed at a particular photo with a wild bunch of people in it that varied between more human and well... less humanoid people. One of them definitely was a Yeti and there was also what looked like living armor as well as Teekly (they knew that demon cat at least), a giant green dog and for some reasons there was a green aggressive looking Octopus in the background too. "...how are you related to a Yeti?"
"Hey that man there and those other teens in the picture actually have some resembles with you! Do you have older brothers too?" Superboy additionally asked as he moved around Red Robin to see the photo better pointing at a man that appeared to be in this late twenties, blue eyed, black haired and a little on the buffer side. If he didn't know any better and the fact that he should keep his mouth shut about their actual identities he would have jokingly asked Red Robin if his family would like to add more kids considering Klarions family apparently had a bunch of black haired blue eyed members too, judging by the photo at least.
"What are you talking about. That man is my mom and yes the others are actually my older brothers and that Yeti is uncle Frostbite who also happens to be the best medic in the Infinite Realms" The four teen heroes looked stunned at the picture and then back at the Ghost King that was smiling at them, still seated by the dinner table with their mentors. Who by the way were now perking up at the change of topic and the information they could gain with it, well Wonder Woman was more interested in the apparently extended family she had.
"Oh I remember we took this photo last year, it was such a hassle to get everyone into one place with them all being busy doing their own things." Danny mused for a moment, remembering fondly how he had to literally drag some of the kids home through a portal.
"It was more annoying than anything too since I was declared to be the youngest...." Klarion muttered also remembering that day not as fondly as his mother.
"Wait, wait, wait! That is a picture of your family? I need an explanation buddy!" Impulse cut in without shame, quickly removing the picture from the photo album to get a better look at it before holding it out to Klarion so he could explain all the individuals. "Plus why does your mom look soooo.... human?"
The witch boy on the other hand stared at him for a couple of seconds before looking over towards his mother as if waiting for something. After a moment the teen heroes as well as their mentors saw Danny nod with a little smile. "This dimension doesn't have the GIW so its fine, the Justice League Dark won't be a problem either, right?." Constantine flinched at the smile the Ghost King was giving him, muttering something under his breath as he had hoped his presence had been forgotten.
"Since mom is giving his okay...." Klarion mutter sitting crosslegged on the ground as he snatched the photo album from Red Robin and flipped through it. "Lets start with the easiest stuff to explain."
Danny chuckled noticing that not only the teen heroes but their mentors as well showed an interest. He choose to stay quiet letting the adults listen in on the kids, and if things went bad he would just ask Clockwork if they could revert time back to this moment and he would change his nod of permission to a shake of denial.
"Okay first of, this is my mom and his sister Jasmine, this is Danielle my older sister and that hulk with flaming white hair and blueish skin is me. That was before I got deaged because of destabilising." Klarion explained flipping to a photo of him, Danny, Jazz and Danielle. "Mom was around fifteen, Aunt Jazz about seventeen and Ellie should have been about a year old but she was aged up to twelve. They look human in this one because well they are. Mom was originally human and became what you call in this dimension a Meta through an accident."
"Wait... that would mean your mom... How could he have two kids at that age of fourteen? You look like an adult and your sister was aged up?" Wonder Girl couldn't help but ask as she looked from the photo and back to Danny at the dinner table again.
"That's cause Vlad was a fu-"
"Language Klarion!"
"Vlad was a fruitloop. That photo was taken shortly after Vlad and I sort of redeemed our selfs. Plus, mom didn't really have my sister and me willingly.... we were kind of forced upon him in a way." Klarion explained shrugging. "Old Man Vlad had an obsession with his mom that then turned on mom, which resulted in my oldest sister Danielle first. Actually, a lot of my elder siblings resulted from that, but they didn't survive it the first time, Mom got Old Man Clocks help to save them once he got used to being the Ghost King. I got added to the mix shortly after my sister, but... i wasn't in the best state of mind at first, kind of went through a redemption phase in which mom had to fix the timeline of our original home dimension, too."
Danny chuckled again at the disturbed looks the teens were giving his son as well as the looks their mentors sent him. He probably should correct Klarion's wording... but being one of the gremlins of his family he just smiled on, not commenting. He really understands now why Pops Clockwork liked watching the chaos he used to cause as teen, and still sometimes causes as adult.
"Klarion... how old is this Old Man Vlad?" Red Robin asked grimacing as his eyes under the mask flicked up to the Ghost King and then back to the witch boy both seemingly unbothered by the disturbing information they were sharing.
"In human years... probably around 67? You stop counting age at some point if your a halfa." Klarion shrugged, not noticing the grimaces of the teens around him. "Anyway, Ellie is sort of the first born. I came in after that, with my core being a mix of Mom and Vlad. Not DNA wise though since I came to be because of their ghost cores. That's why I look like that in this photo. Though human DNA wise I am probably now mostly Moms, we never bothered to ask the old man."
Danny muffled another chuckle, coughing as Superman sent him an incredulous look of shook while he felt Batmans burning gaze on him.
"You... mentioned more siblings?" Red Robin asked carefully sharing a look with his team, feeling like there was a whole lot of trauma in Klarions family he wasn't sure they should address or not. So asking after his siblings was probably, hopefully the safest option. They didn't know that while there was trauma in the witch boy's family it was not the kind they were imagining.
"Yea I got a bunch more brothers, Vlad was a evil crazy fuitloop, before he redeemed himself. They all kind of melted in one timeline but mom and Grandpa Clock found a way to save them." Klarion nodded flipping to another photo containing him, as he looked now, and all his siblings.
"So, Ellie you know about already. The one with the sunglasses and died hair is Bartholomew, second oldest. They made themselves a home in other dimension, barely at home cause he has to much fun messing with something called a 'Starstream' by being a 'Constellation' and throwing gold coins at 'Incarnations'. Don't ask me what that means, I barely pay attention when he gushes about his favorit 'Incarnation'. They spent like all their money and pocket money there. Aunt Jazz thinks he might develop a gambling addiction if we don't stop his spendings." The teen heroes eyed the teen that looked like a young adult grinning in the photo as the witch boy pointed at the one next to them. "The one with the vile is my elder brother Bite, most responsible one of this bunch. Mom even allowed him to take care of a couple of dimensions by taking the role of being their God of Death. I think he messed them up more than helped but he is doing a somewhat good job, even if he is sort of obsessed with making some red head his saint or something..."
"One of your sibs is a God?" Impulse gabbed and Klarion just blinked at him with a shrug. "My Grandfather is the ruler of Time, your point is? Wonder Girl is also related to a God of your dimension."
"Never mind him, moving on." A yelp resounded as Superboy pushed Impulse head down leaning in more to see the photo better. "You got one emo looking brother there!"
"Oh that's Yamikumo, he is like a year or two older than me right now, in human years. He barely got any of mom's powers so he choose to try to life a somewhat normal life but weirdly enough he choose a dimension that is ruled by people who have powers and abilities, you know like the Meta Humans of this dimension. Now that I think about it, he is also the only one who actually is studying on how to be a Hero."
"Do you end up fighting with him if he studies to be a hero?" Wonder Girl whisper asked him with a quick glance towards their mentors, to which Klarion shook his head. "As long as we leave the dimensions one of us choose to live in alone we usually don't fight about stuff like that, aside from the usual sibling fights that is. Then again I do have some siblings that like to make bets like who is better at ruling as demon lord, or who can safe a dying timeline quicker."
Danny chuckled again as he watched the kids, Klarion had definitely caused some misunderstandings with his wording. Then again it wasn't like Klarion said anything that wasn't true, but then again his son loved chaos. So there was a suspicion that Klarion intentionally choose the way he worded the explanation about how he and Ellie came to be as well as the rest of siblings.
"So....." Superman slowly started wondering how he should bring up the topic. "...you became a mom at 14?"
"Say Danny is there a way for me to meet this Vlad? You know since we are family." Wonder Woman also asked smiling in a certain way that reminded Danny of Valerie when she was mad but didn't want to show right away how mad she was, to which the Ghost King on reflex could do nothing but gulp for a moment. Not noticing that a green post it note appeared on the table before him.

DC x DP Prompt (1?)
DC and DP being the same universe.
Danny is a clone, but not of the usual ones. He's a clone of Diana.
CADMUS started way earlier than thought, managed to get Wonder Woman's DNA and made a clone.(Can be an Ellie situation where gender gets swapped in the process or trans Danny, your choice.)
CW, for all his time bullshit, knows the better timelines all start from this kid not being in their control, and yeets Danny to Illinois to be found by the Fentons.
(Can be adopted Jazz too, which could be fun to have her be maybe a Tamarasian or a Krypton baby that was yeeted the same time as Clark?)

The Ghost and the Amazon:
Danny ends up in the world of gods and monsters and is having more fun than he should. But to his defense, he only knows these beings from books and the ghost zone. And, having been fascinated by this world for around ten years, he adored it! He was struck in his prime of 21 years, so he had in truth no idea how many years he really was here, but you could say after 5 he no longer cared much about it. (His father His height, as he had his growth spurt, was pretty muscular too, but not super massive. (Think of Thor, Steve Rogers, or Goku, yeah, Goku Piccolo Saga.)
After an attack by Circe, Wonder Woman too ended up in this new realm, seeing monsters wreaking havoc on the mortal realm. Being a hero, she will help them, and so she joined this Son of Hades?? in fighting against them. They had become fast friends over the years through adventure and fighting. Diana noticed he, just like her, didn't age. + It had been a shame that after a new portal opened, they could leave but were needed, but Diana would visit him and he would visit her. + Amity Park had changed not much; as he had fallen through the portal, the whole town thought he was Isekai'd and now could return. And man, the whole town was surprised as they saw Danny, that massive and full-of-muscle Fenton man. Not sure what to do. But the Fentons were happy to see him back. Danny, too, was happy to see his mom, dad, Tucker, Sam, Jazz, and Ellie. Ellie told him how she protected the town while he was gone, and Tucker and Sam told him what he missed in school and similar. Jazz was now his tiny, big sister, as he was taller than her by 1 head. Mom and Dad learned about him being a phantom and were pretty accepting of it; they were just sad he was gone for so long. He been missed 3 years, but the doctors said he was around the start of his 20s in body age but much older. And seem to be prime of his body; the isekai'd changed him. maybe Magic. As Ellie learned by talking with Danny, whom he met in the realm! She wanted to really meet her her Wonder Woman!, but Danny thought first to wait more than a month. She told him about the Space Station. Well, time to visit Diana! She never told him in all the years about the Space Station! + For Diana True to his words, Danny came to visit her maybe to wait one month was much, but here he was in the Watch Tower. It turned out his adorable cutie pie baby clone (his words not her, but she is adorable), Ellie, was a fan. So while she talked to the tiny girl, Danny looked out the window at the stars. She could spend later time with her Danny. Time to tell Ellie about their adventures in the last the last few years in the Realms with Danny.

Pretty much my ideal dcxdp coexisting world
Danny had all his canon happen before Bruce and the JL started their vigilante careers
Before Bruce was born or Martha and Thomas even got married
Phantom Planet never happened and the world never realized that they were almost dead in the first place (I apologize for mentioning it)
Danny retires after blowing up the portal and designing a new system of gov for the Infinite Realms (why the hell is that a monarchy anyway? Fighting being a way of communicating AND the way of determining a ruler does not make sense so I'll choose the better one)
Danny still visits the Infinite Realms but mostly lives his life
He still has interesting things happen to him but more because he apparently has a curse placed on him than anything else 'may you live in interesting times'
Danny manipulates the curse by getting into situations on purpose and then resolving them without getting attention drawn to his civilian id and normal life
He keeps track of immortals and big names that deal with death magic so as to lower the chances of being summoned
The more powerful the Realm Being the more powerful the summoner has to be to summon them and with how powerful Danny is there aren't many he has to keep an eye on
Ra's has been losing Lazarus water at a steady rate for over a decade but only now has it become a noticeable loss. The day the that he notices is a Very Bad Day for the League of Assassins (the day Danny lets himself get caught satisfies his curse for 2 whole months)
Danny hasn't aged much at all since he left Amity at 17. He's still short but mimics the effects of age with stage makeup and other tools used by actors to look older they actually are. This is how he meets a certain Alfred P. who remains a good friend even though they never really meet in person.
His parents blow themselves up and wipe their house off the map when tinkering with a device designed to lure realm beings to them. Danny isn't really sorry they're gone. He finds out after leaving Amity that he wasn't really their kid and he wasn't even adopted. They made him in their lab while distracted from their obsession with ghosts then completely forgot they had done so when they refocused on ghosts. His growth chamber (terrible name) was coated in ecto which allowed the device to reactivate and allow Danny to finish incubating into a toddler then (suspicious) it mysteriously popped him out before his the fentons noticed the growth chambers success.
His parents never took any notes on the clone experiment out of the house due to it being a (perceived) failure. After going back to their ghost obsession they completely forgot about it so no one knows. Jazz only found after Danny told her and he only found out after growing older and continuing to look less and less like either of his parents.
Danny finds the notes and that's what inspires him to leave Amity, to start looking for his bio parent. The Fenton's had no clue that the clone they grew was Danny. They dismantled the growth chamber when Danny was four (actually two) and never realized that the toddler they adopted was the clone of wonder woman they made. They never said anything to anyone about Danny being adopted so Vlad has no idea that Danny isn't Maddie's child.
Vlad starts to age drastically after the portals are destroyed and Danny figures out that Vlad isn't a halfa after all. He's just a normal ghost who can prey on people like spectra but with an obsession directed at Maddie originally and then Danny. Afterwards Vlad gets shunted off into Walker's prison because of all the toxic and human crimes he's committed among them brainwashing, mind control and mind wiping various wealthy and not so wealthy individuals into giving Vlad their money and companies.
Ellie has to explore the Infinite Realms (literally Infinite though so she's not confined) only because she can't really produce her own ecto. She has to absorb it from her surroundings so she can wander safely all over the Infinite Realms (so long as she calls for help when she gets in over her head) but not the human realms unless she takes a buddy who can produce a steady stream of ecto for her.
Vlad makes Danny his heir so now he's rich enough to travel even after giving all the people Vlad stole from their money back. It turns out that Vlad was good with making more money once he had it.
just Danny being a crptoid for the entire magical community and them being unable to talk about it if they even know of him
while danny runs a NASA and space account where he talks about NASA's recent achievements, newly discovered stars, planets and new alien races that Earth has been in contact with

Son of the Red Hood: Part 5
Master Post
Jazz pried her unwilling eyes open. Her face was gritty and sore from crying herself to sleep after the call from the Foleys. She groggily looked around to see that she had passed out right there on the floor where she had collapsed. She tried to force herself to rise, to at least get up off the floor. She had so much to do. 
But her brother was dead. 
She needed to call Aunt Alicia. The police probably wouldn’t be able to get a hold of her for weeks if she left it to them. She needed to email her professors and her advisor let them know she wouldn’t be in class for a while. Would she even be back in time for exams? 
Her brother was dead. 
Maybe she should just drop out. Danny had been the whole reason she was trying to race through her degree. She wanted to be able to provide for him just in case their parents couldn’t or wouldn’t any more. She was even paying through the nose for an apartment by herself so Danny could live on her couch if he needed to. 
But her brother was dead. 
He had insisted, again and again, that he would be safe there. He only had a few more months until his eighteenth birthday and he was crowned the High King of Ghosts. Then he would move full time into Phantom’s Keep in the Infinite Realms. She had been counting down the days, just waiting until he was safe. After the last time their parents had caught him as Phantom and started to cut him open, Jazz had been terrified that it would happen again. Last time it had only been luck that she had managed to come home for the weekend and rescue him. 
But her brother was dead. 
She honestly wasn’t surprised her parents were dead. In fact she would bet the entirety of her afterlife on the explosion being their fault. She had already gone through the process of mourning her parents for their stupid mistakes when she was eight and Jack blew up the first version of the GAV. Her parents had both been in the hospital for three weeks. They remembered to ask about their children at the end of the second week. Up to that point she had been taking care of Danny and herself as well as she was able and had thought they were dead. 
Now her brother was dead. 
She felt for the connection she’d had to him ever since his accident. Deep down in her proto-core from her heavy exposure to ectoplasm from her parents’ experiments. She had always been able to feel where Danny was even if he was invisible. If he was in the Ghost Zone she would still feel him, it would just feel fluttery, but their bond was strong enough to cross the veil. She searched for that connection in the direction of Amity Park and felt…
Because her brother was dead? 
She could still feel a connection. Could it be to Ellie? No, she was never as close with Danny’s clone as he was despite her best wishes to the contrary. Where was it? It wasn’t in the direction of Amity, then where? 
Her brother was… her brother was… alive? 
As soon as that thought had processed she sat up and focused. The connection to Danny still existed. It didn’t feel like he was in the Zone, so he must have managed to escape! He could be injured and scared somewhere! She was immediately up on her feet. She snatched her half charged phone and her emergency bag and was out the door. 
Her brother was alive. 
Jazz raced to her car, throwing her bag into the back seat. She didn’t know if she had enough gas to get to wherever Danny was, but she would keep going as long as she had to find her brother. She peeled out of her apartment’s parking lot and started driving south down the East Coast. 
Danny was alive.  
Hold on Danny. Your sister’s coming. 
.
Diana hated Gotham. It represented everything she had always been told of the corruption of the world of men. The rampant crime and wealth inequality made the search for the child king hidden in the city even harder. 
She couldn’t search the city as Wonder Woman. Too many people would be calling to her and she wouldn’t know which one to follow. Plus the Rogues in the city would be a problem. Bruce’s rogues were always a specific shade of awful to deal with any time they left the city and she didn’t want to draw Bruce’s ire by fighting them. Also she was certain some of her own trouble makers would target her and the city if they knew she was there. 
Diana also couldn’t dress down like she usually would while in DC. She knew she looked like a younger, affluent, and beautiful woman. Every mugger, trafficker, and cat-caller in the city would be harassing her every step of the way. In any other city the fact that she also looked like she bench pressed cars for fun would have given her a level of immunity to the dregs of man’s world, but in the most crime ridden city in the world people were either desperate, or stupid enough to push their luck. Bruce would certainly kick her out of his city if she broke the fingers of every man who cat-called her. 
Instead she asked Alfred for some of Bruce’s most tattered and oil stained clothing before she left the manor. She ended up in a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie that Bruce must have used to change the oil on the Batmobile. Alfred was almost offended that she would go out in something so filthy, but it worked to keep people’s attention off her. Though Bruce’s hoodie was so short on her it was almost a crop top. 
With a proper disguise she walked the streets of Gotham. She saw the homeless on the streets and the muggers in the alleyways. It pulled at her heart not being able to help. Of course she stopped any crimes she saw, then disappeared quickly, but it was all so overwhelming. 
The fact that Bruce could face this every single night and not fall into despair showed just how strong he was. And that pulled at her heart even more. However she knew he would always be more dedicated to his city and his mission than any partner. That was the biggest reason she and Bruce hadn’t become an “item” as Shayera would say. 
Diana sighed in frustration. She had spent the past few days wandering through the city, street by street, and she had yet to find anything, nor had she heard anyone call her. She was sure she had understood Lord Clockwork’s words correctly, and expecting immediate results may have been foolish, but it was still frustrating. Somewhere in this twisted and dark city was her soon-to-be protege and she needed to find them. 
A scream of fear echoed through the city streets from around the corner. She jogged forward to help. She would probably head back to the manor after this, return Bruce’s clothes. Diana allowed herself a small smile, if she hurried back she would arrive before Bruce donned his costume and left to begin his own patrol. He would probably spit out his coffee at the sight of her wearing his clothes, especially with how short his hoodie is on her. 
.
Danny can float through walls. 
Jason was not freaking out, thank you very much, even though it would have been perfectly reasonable to freak out a little at his kid being able to pass through walls as if they weren’t even there. How was he supposed to ground his kid when he grew up if doors and walls were just a suggestion? Was this normal for kids exposed to the Lazarus pits? Would Jason fall through the floor one of these days and end up in the center of the Earth? What about Cass and Damian? Oh gods, he had to call them to make sure they weren’t stuck in the core of the Earth. Bruce would have to update the floor plan of the cave or else they would all fall through and…
Jason was definitely not freaking out. 
When Danny started floating and flying around the apartment, Jason could accept that. Danny seemed perfectly happy bobbing along as he ate or playing with his toys on the ceiling. Hell, more than half the JL could fly in some manner so it was easy for Jason to make some rules for Danny of when it was safe to fly and when it wasn't. But now Danny could float through walls. And Jason did not know what to do. 
He took a deep breath and took a moment to center himself. Danny was currently on the ceiling drawing a picture. He was even keeping it mostly on the paper. He wasn’t sure how he would ever explain the crayon lines on the ceiling so he was thankful he owned the building he lived in. Though he had been considering more and more moving so Danny would have more room to play and use his powers. 
“Hey, Danny? Would you mind coming down here so we can talk?” Jason called up to his boy. Danny turned to look up (down? Why does his kid have to sit on the ceiling of all places?) at him with a smile. 
“Just a minute Jay! I’m almost done!” Danny said happily. 
Jason nodded and settled on his couch. Danny had, thankfully, been pretty good so far about doing what he was told, as long Jason took the time to explain why he wanted Danny to do the things. And when he got upset, he was at least easily bribable with cookies. Now maybe some parenting books would say not to bribe his child, but those books weren’t written for parents with super powered kids. 
After almost exactly a minute, Danny floated down with his picture in his hand. Jason was struck once again by just how graceful this kid was. Once he was a little older Jason was going to have to take him to either Uncle Dickabeth for gymnastics lessons or Aunt Cass for ballet lessons. Probably Cass cause she wasn’t a no-good cop. Fuck cops. 
“What did you want to talk about, Jay?” Danny said with his big ol’ cute eyes. Jason felt the fire inside him burn even brighter at how god-damned cute he was. 
“Y-yeah.” Jason would deny that his voice cracked until his dying day. “We’re going to work together to make some rules for your powers, ok?”
Danny nodded and settled comfortably on the couch. 
“Ok, first of all. Do your powers hurt you?” Jason asked. 
His kid took a moment to think about it before he shook his head. 
“Good, good. If your powers ever do hurt you, I want you to tell me ok?” Jason waited for another happy nod before he continued. “Does it hurt to not use your powers?” 
Danny tilted his head to the side and Jason wished he had his phone in hand so he could take a picture. 
“It doesn’t hurt… but… sometimes it feels itchy.” 
“Itchy?” 
“Yeah, like when you got a really big burp inside you and you can’t let it out because you’re eating at a really fancy place. I don’t like that feeling.” Danny rubbed his chest, not quite over his heart, but more centered. 
“Thanks for telling me, bud. If you ever get that feeling I want you to tell me. And you can use your powers as much as you like here in the apartment. However when you are going through walls I want you to stay in our apartment. I don’t want you to scare the neighbors, ok?” 
Danny laughed like a chiming bell, rolling back onto his back before floating up above the couch a little. 
“I don’t wanna scare people either! I always hated it when people were afraid of me!” 
Jason didn’t know quite what to make of that incredibly worrying statement, so played it off with a joke. 
“Yeah, the neighbors aren’t as brave as your old man!” 
“Jay! You’re not old! Unca Dick is way older than you!” 
Jason threw back his head and laughed before grabbing Danny and tickling him. The two of them laughed together for several minutes before Jason remembered the drawing Danny had been working on. 
“By the way, what were you drawing kiddo?” 
Danny sat up excitedly and showed off his drawing. Jason could recognize himself with his black and white hair with his Red Hood helmet under his arm, and Danny with black hair. There were two extra people in the picture, one looked like a second version of Danny, except with longer hair this time, and one with long red hair who was even taller than Jason in the drawing. 
“See this is my family.” Danny said, pointing at the picture. “This is Dani, and this is Jazz, and this is if you were my dad!” 
Jason had to stop himself from crying as tears burned in his eyes. Danny drew him as his dad. Gods it was going to kill him if they found out Danny had a loving family out there somewhere. Plus the drawing revealed that the mysterious Jazz, Danny’s missing sister, was a red-head. That should help narrow down the nationwide search Tim was engaged in to try and find her. Though why were there two Dannys in the picture? Maybe his son was transgender? Before Jason could ask any questions Danny continued, pulling a second sheet out from behind the first. 
“And this one is all my aunts and uncles! Here’s Unca Dick, and Aunt Cass and Aunt Steph and Aunt Bab.” The next picture had several stick figures with different hair, including one with red hair in a chair. Danny had drawn Steph’s hair really long and Dick really short, the shortest in the picture other than Barbie who was sitting.
“Do you mind if I take a picture to send to your aunts and uncles? I’m sure they would love to see your art, then we can hang the pictures on the fridge.”
Danny proudly displayed his drawings and Jason took pictures. He took a few close ups to show off the art and a few further back to show off his smiling kid with his big ol’ shining green eyes. Once the pictures were taken he allowed Danny to float back up to the ceiling to continue drawing. He texted the group chat with the others. 
“Updates on Danny. Good news: he drew me as his dad in a picture. Neutral news: we now know Jazz is a red-head and apparently taller than me. Bad news: He either has no memory of his parents or at least no positive ones.” 
He sent the first pic, then after the others were done cooing over it sent the other. 
“Also according to Danny, Dickwing Duck is both the shortest of us and really old.” 
He ignored the following texts from Dick crying about how his nephew didn’t respect him.

Bad to the core (part 1)
Rating M for strong language dpxdc, Dan/Jason with a sprinkle of halfa Dan and Dan redemption. here we go!!! ao3 link
________
There is a man floating parallel to the old carpet floor of Jason's apartment.
More accurately, it's his downstairs neighbour, Daniil Nightingale, in all his 6'5, Cruella de Vil-coloured hair and dalmatian print jammies glory floating—and snoring— a foot and a half above Jason's floor.
What the fuck.
Jason glances at the clock he has mounted above the 32-inch flatscreen TV - 3:40 am - and back to the sleeping mountain of a man. Partly because he's still in his Red Hood gear and because he's pretty sure he's met Daniil as Jason before he's not keen on waking him up just yet to ask why on earth he's floating in the middle of his living room.
Silently, he tip-toes to his bedroom where he changes to his Pjs- Wonder Woman, always Wonder Woman- and returns to the living room to wake the man up and demand some answers.
Daniil is still there when he returns and Jason approaches him with caution, careful not to startle him awake too violently.
Jason clears his throat. Nothing happens.
He says softly, "Time to wake up."
Nothing.
He tries louder.
The man does not move. Seems that he sleeps like the dead.
Slowly and carefully, Jason shakes Daniil's shoulders. Unsurprisingly nothing happens again. Save perhaps the fact that Jason's shaking moved the man half a foot closer to the floor.
Huh. He can work with that.
Jason continues pushing Daniil towards the floor — it'll be easier, he tells himself, to wake him up if he's not floating — and lo and behold!
 Daniil is now halfway through the carpet.
 Fucking fuck!
 Well, that answers how he got here.
 With a final big push, Daniil's form sinks downstairs and Jason hopes he didn't just kill his neighbour accidentally.
 He mentally notes to check on him in the morning to see if he's alright and then, perhaps, follow him around a bit because if he's a meta— Scratch that he's definitely a meta. Anyway, he should make sure Daniil is not in any danger because of it and that he is not a danger.  
 Yeah. That could work. No need to alert the Bat yet.
-
 Dan isn't an idiot. He's known since day one that his upstairs neighbour is the infamous crime lord Red Hood. It's why he chose this apartment to begin with. Not that he'll ever tell the squirt or Ellie that. Nah.
 He quite enjoys his 'parole' as Danny puts it. No need to get souped that soon after he finally got out. And got gifted a neat human body by the Old Time Fart.
 Sadly, he's been threatened with extended soup time if he dares joins a gang — Red Hood's included— not only by the squirt but Ellie too and — don't tell anyone — Ellie he respects and sometimes even fears. Best clone sister a man could ever dream of.
 Anyway. He can't join Red Hood in his maiming business but he can be his neighbour and friend. Plus, nobody said he couldn't date a crime lord and Lord, Red Hood is such a fine piece of ass. With mask or without.
 Which leads Dan to the current predicament. Red Hood in his civvies is following him to work for some ancient's damned reason. He thinks he's being sneaky, hiding in Gotham's long shadows, tip-toeing around like an itty-bittie mouse, or well, bat.
 Might as well play with him a little.
 The café Danny approved of as a 'normal job for a human in his early twenties' — whatever that means— doesn't open for an hour more. Dan had been meaning to walk through the park for a while and enjoy the silence before rush hour starts but he's considering taking a more… scenic route instead.
 He leads Jason around the shadiest fucking areas in the goddamn neighbourhood and makes a point to linger in alleys and actively seek out danger. It's not like anyone has the barest of chances to actually harm him but Red Hood doesn't know that; in fact, he's probably suspicious of Dan now that he thinks about it and well…
 Never it be said Dan does anything halfhearted. Playing tag with his hot crime lord slash vigilante neighbour in the worst parts of Crime Alley included.
 A couple of muggers cower the moment they lay eyes on him— good— and he continues his walk whistling a Humpty Dumpty song, hands slack in the pocket of his hoodie.
 When the time his shift begins approaches he makes his way to the little book café that decided employing a war criminal is legit for its business development. Not that they know it, but the thought makes Dan smile.
 Jason's face when he enters the Coffee Library and he sees Dan in his pink and brown apron is priceless.
 "Oh hey, Jason, was it? What can I get ya?"
-
 Jason stares at Daniil unblinkingly, eyes wandering from the little smirk on the man’s lips to the low bun he wears his dual-coloured hair in and then to — nope. Not gonna stare at his chest. Or arms. God those arms. They look so good in his uniform.  
 Nu-uh. Brain outta the gutter Jason!
 “Hi,” he manages to croak out, silently berating his mind for betraying him. He had a plan and everything damnit! A plan, you hear that brain? His possibly-definitely meta neighbour is suspish as fuck. Wandering Crime Alley like that early in the morning! Given, he didn’t actually do anything other than walk and whistle punk rock songs but still! Suspicious!
 Daniil cocks a single thick black eyebrow at him.
 Jason clears his throat.
 “Daniil, I didn’t know you worked here.” Good job Jason, way to make yourself a fool in front of the Person of Interest.
 Daniil snorts, eyes glimmering in amusement. “It’s pronounced DaniEEL not DAHnil, but you can call me Dan, pretty boy.” He winks. “So, what would you like to order?”
 Jason’s face feels uncomfortably hot all of a sudden. He swallows thickly. Stares at the blackboard catalogue on the wall behind Dan for a few seconds. “Spiced black tea… and an apricot croissant, please.”
 “I see you’re a man of culture as well,” mutters Dan under his breath, punching Jason’s order in the machine.
 “What was that?” Jason asks innocently.
 Dan shakes his head. “Nothin’. Just pleased I don’t have to prepare some sort of caffeine monstrosity so early in the morning.”
 “Not a fan of coffee?”
 “Doesn’t agree with me, though my little brother loves it. Makes me pump him a glass of 12 shots of espresso every time he passes by. Drinks it black too. The heathen.”
 Jason huffs out a low laugh. “Sounds like your brother would get along great with mine."  
 Dan lets out a world-weary sigh. “Promise me to never let them meet.”
 “I won’t say anything if you don’t say anything,” says Jason in a conspiratorial whisper.
 “Deal.”
 And that’s the moment he realises he’s grown too comfortable in the other man’s presence. He’s supposed to be investigating, goddamnit, not sharing family titbits. Though, he gotta admit Dan seems remarkably normal for a man that levitated his way into Jason’s apartment in the wee hours of the morning and led him to the world’s most dangerous stroll through Crime Alley at 6 o’ fucking clock.
-
 Fuckity fuck.
 Dan was supposed to mess with Jason. Make him think he belongs in Arkham or Blackgate or whatever other Soup equivalent they have in Gotham. Ya know, impress him, the big bad Crime Lord. He wasn’t supposed to engage in small talk with the man, and more importantly, he wasn’t supposed to like it.  
 What a mess. He even called the squirt ‘his brother’ for fuck’s sake.
 Oh well, when in Rome and all that shit.
 He’s about to go to Jason’s table to pester him some more, on account of the cafe being empty and whatnot, when the door jingle thing chimes.
 Dan curses under his breath.
 Fucking rush hour.  
-
 Jason has been meaning to stay in the cafe for the bare minimum; eat his breakfast and drink his tea and go back to sleep until sundown because —      phew — two hours is by no means enough to sustain his nightly activities, no matter what Tim ‘Never Sleep’ Drake claims. Instead, he’s been here for six hours already —has ordered lunch too— deeply engrossed in The Song of Achilles, his mission completely forgotten.
 Well sue him, he’s been meaning to read this book for ages now and it just stared at him mockingly in all its blue and white glory from the bookcase across from him. What’s a man gonna do? Ignore it?
 “Is the book any good?” Dan’s deep voice rumbles. He doesn’t wait for Jason’s answer and sits across from him, hands propped under his chin.
 “It’s great.” Jason huffs a laugh. He memorises the page number and leaves it to the side. “Don’t tell me your manager told you to scare me off already.”
 Dan hums and smiles. Jason thinks he can see too-sharp, too-long canines. “Well.. you’ve been here for six hours already. But no, Mrs G actually thinks you’re good for business. So, congrats! You can stay for as long as you like!”
 “Hurray!” Jason says in a monotone voice and claps his hands once. “No, but seriously, it’s a great place for reading.”
 “Oh gee, I wonder why that is? It’s not like it’s literally named the Coffee Library or something!”
 A peal of laughter escapes Jason’s mouth. Damn it. He likes the guy. Meta or possible goon or both.
 “Speaking of which, how come a big guy like you—”
 “Lives in Crime Alley and works a normal mundane job at a cafe?” Damn the guy is sharp. “I mean what would I do? Join a gang?” he scoffs. Perhaps Jason had misjudged him. Perhaps he really is just a normal-ish dude that happens to be built like a brick shit-house. “‘Sides Crime Alley rent is dirt cheap. And it’s not like anybody with half a brain would dare break into my place! I mean have you seen me?” He grins and yep, those are definitely fangs. “Gotta ask you back though, what are you doing in our pretty little corner in Gotham?”
 Jason blinks once. Twice. He shrugs a shoulder. Might as well go with his cover story around Crime Alley. “Work for RH. Soup kitchens,” — Jason thinks he hears Dan say ‘ew soup’ under his breath— “protection, that sort of thing.”
 Dan nods in understanding. "I see, I see."
 "You… want an in with RH?" Jason tries and fails to pass as nonchalant. It would make sense to employ him in his crime ring if only to keep tabs on him better. Not because Dan's an absolute unit, no sire.
 Dan snorts out a laugh in response. Shakes a dismissive hand. "Nah, I'll pass," he says and Jason can help but feel disappointed. "Not that life in crime doesn't sound absolutely irresistible, but I'd hate to disappoint my siblings. I promised to behave," he smirks.
 "I can't tell if you're messing with me or not."
 Dan shrugs. "The interpretation is up to you, pretty boy.”
-
 He works for Red Hood! Hah! As if. But Dan can appreciate a good cover story and despite what his siblings might think of him he’s not one to      unmask a vigilante crime lord in the middle of a busy cafe. So he plays the understanding Crime Alley resident and declines the offer for work despite knowing that it would be thrilling to do anything else than brewing tea and coffee for entitled Gothamites all day long.
 And when he calls Red Hood a pretty boy… Well, let’s just say that the man in question can blush in such a pretty shade of red that makes his signature helmet seem almost obsolete. He realises at that moment that he’d love to see Jason blushing again.
 Aw, fuck.
 He likes likes him, doesn’t he?

More cold currents au
For context Dick is Danny’s younger brother and he knows Danny is a half ghost he is not fully aware of all his powers, Ellie has been adopted as Danny’s daughter and Danny is ghost king on with the story? Summery? Brain vomit? Whatever enjoy 😊
So I’m thinking Danny is in college during this au and he’s getting ready to visit his brother during break but before that he had a trip to the Bermuda Triangle planned with Ellie to see if they can find any sunken pirate treasure. So they’ve been exploring for a bit they split up when Danny heard an explosion he goes to investigate when he sees a man swimming his way danny immediately turns invisible before he’s seen and suddenly there is a shout the man turns only to see a gorgeous man about his age struggling to get free from a wreckage.
Danny immediately jumps in sending a clone after the fleeing man while he rushes to assist the stranger when his arms start to glow and beams of water rush around him freeing him from capture. Danny comments that Well I looks like I’m not needed
The man looks around and shouts show yourself which reminds Danny that he is in fact invisible right now and he yells don’t shoot raising his hands and turning visible again
The man turns towards Danny and he has to channel his ice core to prevent his face from turning green when he turns those intense pale green eyes and then immediately backs up as a glowing sword is now pointed at him Identify yourself Kaldur all but commands
Danny you can call me Danny or phantom either, both whatever you prefer Danny rambles while staring at the other man and you are? Kaldur identifies himself as aqualad and demands to know what he was doing there and if he is in league with black manta Danny is clearly confused and explains that he and his daughter were exploring the triangle when he came across the wreck and who is black manta. Kaldur explains that manta is a villain that he was fighting and he is probably to far to catch now. It is at this moment that Danny is glad he listened to pandora about covering your bases and explains that if he was talking about a man in a black suit and an ugly helmet he actually sent a clone after him and they should be able to find him so long as the clone isn’t destroyed. Kaldur looks surprised at the statement the smiles and states that his assistance would be appreciated however he needs to regroup with his team. Danny is fine with that and says no problem let me just collect my wayward child and sends out a pulse of energy through his connection with Ellie to call her back danny then turns toward Kaldur and says brace yourself Kaldur looks at Danny confused for only a moment before he is almost knocked out of the way by a glowing black and white blur that tackled Danny. Did you find something? Is it shiny? did you find Amelia’s plane? I told her we would look! I found a squid and it tried to eat me! She continues to ramble off things while Danny just nods indulgingly while smiles at the interaction. Finally danny interrupts her to say no gold but I did find a someone you might want to meet. Ellie looks confused who’s hanging out in the Bermuda Triangle? That would be me Kaldur interjects I am aqualad however you may call me kaldur. Ellie gets super excited dude you’re a superhero she looks at Danny Dad he’s a superhero that’s so cool! Do you know Wonder Woman she’s so cool Granny told me all about themascyra and the Amazonians I wanna go there sometime that would be so cool danny laughs and says okay calm down you can bombard him with questions later for now we are gonna help him out. Ellie tilts her head confused and the two of them explain what’s happening they all decide to meet up with kaldurs team to report what happened and let them know he had a run in with manta during the mission. Ellie looks back and forth from Danny who keeps gazing at Kaldur with barely disguised attraction to Kaldur who has yet to notice and thinks oh this is gonna be fun
I don’t know why tumblr put a huge gap here but okay
The three of the head back to the closest island where Kaldur and his team agreed to meet up as they are swimming and Ellie tells them all about their vacation so far and how the were going to visit her uncle next before heading home before getting distracted and rushing ahead meanwhile Kaldur tells Danny that he’s glad that Danny is able to spend so much time with Ellie Danny replies that while things were pretty crazy when she first came into his life, well half-life, but he wouldn’t change a thing and while Danny isn’t looking Kaldur most certainly is which does not go unnoticed by the smallest of the three. Once they arrive at the secluded cove Kaldur says that his team should be there any minute before they arrive however Ellie wanders off and Danny says he’ll be right back when she doesn’t respond to his call, the bioship drops it camouflage moments later and superboy nightwing ms Martian and zatanna all exit the ship they approach Kaldur who greets his friends and gives his repot about manta just as he’s telling him about how he was assisted he’s interrupted by nightwing who has now been tackled to the ground by an over enthusiastic Ellie yelling Uncle Dick! all of them look surprised when Danny approaches and he says Dick! I didn’t know you were on a team! Dick replies that yeah they’ve been working together for awhile and introduces them to him and then turns to Danny and says I thought you got out of the hero life? Danny laughs and says he did but it’s the death that gets him everytime, but seriously We are just on vacation and we ran into Kaldur I had one of my clones follow the other guy just in case and here we are, I’m not gonna just walk away but just to clarify I am retired this is a one time thing….

Someday (Ellie x F!Reader)
Tumblr media
first part
_______________________________
"I'm not going anywhere"
"That would be something new"
Ellie felt a stab in her chest as she watched you limp to the other side of the cave. She hated that you were hurt because of her (both physically and emotionally), and she just wanted to help, but you wouldn't let her get close. She deserved it, she knew that, but that didn't make it hurt any less.
Infiltrating Biosin was easy, collecting the evidence she needed was a bit more difficult, having to pretend that your indifference and cold stares didn't hurt her was next to impossible. Everything going terribly wrong was inevitable. Of course, something had to go wrong with dinosaurs involved in the mix, it always did.
She didn't even know how you ended up here, in the bottom of the sanctuary, with the clone girl everyone was looking for, trying not to get eaten by dinosaurs while Ian tried to open the gate. She just wanted it all to end, preferably with you forgiving her.
"Look Malcolm, if an overgrown lizard eats me, I swear I'll come back as a ghost to haunt you for the rest of your days" you growled
"I don't think it would be that different from how much you already annoy me, dear" he told you sarcastically
You rolled your eyes and stuck your tongue out at him, but deep down you knew he was just as terrified as you were. This wasn't how you wanted to die, you shouldn't even be here, to begin with.
"Get us out of here, Ian!" you yelled
"What do I look like I'm trying? I'm not at a picnic, Y/N!"
You were about to respond with another sarcastic comment when you felt a hand on your shoulder. You didn't even have to turn around to see who it was, the way the woman squeezed your shoulder was too familiar, and Ian's poorly concealed smile told you all you needed.
"I'm fine" you said, pulling away from Ellie "but you better open that damn thing soon, Malcolm!"
He just rolled his eyes and kept trying to find the correct code. At least the dinosaurs seemed to lose interest in you as Alan and the girl pointed torches at them, but that didn't make any of you drop your guard.
"Do you really plan to continue ignoring me?"
"Do you really plan to continue insisting?"
Ellie sighed, but she still sat down on the ground next to you, trying to hide her pain as you backed away a bit more. She didn't know what else she could do. She had screwed up, yes, she had hurt you, she had been a coward and definitely didn't deserve to get you back as a couple, but no one could assure her that she would survive the night and she refused to leave this world with you still hating her.
"I'm really sorry" she said
"I already told you that I don't need or want your apologies, Sattler" you said, ignoring the pain in your ankle "it’s too late for that"
"Then, what do you want from me?"
"Nothing" you answered "not anymore"
The blonde doctor looked at you with pain and despair. It hurt you to see her like that and in a past life, you would have been quick to apologize and comfort her. But that was no longer your life, and your mind reminded you of the pain this woman had caused you. You forced yourself to remember that you didn't deserve to go through that again, not for her or for anyone.
"Can I at least explain it?" she asked
"What is there to explain? You left without looking back, you abandoned me when I did nothing but love you. I don't care about the reasons you had, not anymore, because you can't change what you did or erase the pain I felt" you replied
Ellie looked at you for a moment, wondering what had happened to the lovely, beautiful woman who had been her other half, the one it took her too long to admit she still loved. Her heart broke when she realized, that she had happened, she had changed you, she had broken you.
"You're right" she sighed "I can't change it, and I can't even pretend that I deserve anything less than your hate, even if it hurts...maybe I don't even deserve that from you"
You were a little surprised by her words and turned to look at her. She had her legs braced against her chest and her chin on her knees. She looked terribly sad…defeated. You silently cursed the part of you that still cared for her.
"I don't hate you" you admitted quietly
Ellie scowled at you as you moved a little closer to her, against your better judgment. You knew you shouldn't do it, that it went against everything you had said and done up to that point. But when did you stop being weak for her?
"I don't hate you" you repeated "I screamed, I cried, I cursed your name, I tried to erase your memory, I cried more and then I tried to pretend that you never existed...but I never hated you. Don't get me wrong, I tried. Even now I'm trying to hate you for dragging me into this...but I can't, never could"
The woman smiled a little, even though your words were still full of pain and weren't exactly kind, but at least you were still talking to her. And if she was being honest, knowing you didn't hate her felt…better…a little.
"It's the dinosaurs, right?" she lightly joked
"What?" you blinked
"It's the dinosaurs" she repeated "they make you see things differently... I doubt that in other circumstances you would tell me that you don't hate me"
"I-...yeah" you smiled despite yourself "I guess being on the verge of death changes your perspective"
The two of you fell silent, as the slightly awkward little joke settled between you. Ellie hadn't changed her position, but she looked a little less defeated. You didn't want to think about how much that relieved you.
"...I know not today" she said after a moment "maybe not even in 20 years, but...do you think one day..."
She didn't have to finish the question for you to understand. You had asked yourself that same question for years: could you forgive her? And you always got the same answer.
"Yes" you said, making Ellie look at you hopefully "...someday"
"Someday" she repeated and nodded slowly "I can live with that"

Dp/dc au first hero
I apologize ahead of time I don’t know how to shorten/hide the post if someone can tell me how it would be much appreciated I also suck at writing
Danny is the first hero of earth , having many time travelling adventures he’s known throughout the world hundreds of years before Wonder Woman showed up
Back then he was vaguely known and not many people knew of his name or origins.many farytale heroes were based of off him. he started 20 years before Batman even lost his parents he stopped aging after he turned 18 and disappeared three years after .he had become the king of the GZ (causing the ghosts to step back and stop harming humans)and wasn’t needed anymore so he stuck to ruling his people and rarely left the GZ, and when he did he was in human form .many people thought he was a myth or a fairytale until one day the yj team pick up a strange boy from Cadmus that’s been in a frozen stasis for a few years at least
No one knows who he is
He was found in human form so no one made any connections
They though he was either the first meta Cadmus caught (do to the very little info Cadmus had in him ) or a clone that Cadmus created although no one new who he was cloned off of
Cadmus had him for 2-3 years but they could never wake him up and the clones all failed
Ellie took over the gz after his disappearance and become the princess
She never took the crown in hopes that Danny was still alive and that he’d be found one day
Danny mixes in a little to well with the heroes and robin (dick) is a little sus
There’s no sign of the meta gene but they swear they’ve seen him freeze his cup once
He doesn’t realize how much of an impact he made in the hero community until one day ms m asks about the first hero and all the earth born heroes gush about him .sharing stories of his adventures that they aspire from
He gets extremely flushed
Everyone’s confused why
He flees
If Batman found out first
Batman would instantly treat Danny with out most respect and call him sir
His parents told him bedtime stories of his adventures
He grew up idolizing Danny
Everyone would be confused as to why the cold and rude Batman was very respectful and slightly shy of a random 18 yr old they rescued last month
If Wonder Woman found out first
Her instant reaction would to bow and apologize profoundly for her rudeness and the actions of the rest of the team
He’s the king of the dead and is considered one of the many gods
She’s herd the many tales of his victories threw out her time in mans world she’s .extremely shocked to find out he’s basically an immortal teen that is only considered in his 50s age wise for his human half
He didn’t act it
He’s very much a modern day teen every other way
If YJ found out
They would flip shit
They don’t know about the king part but still treat him like royalty
He doesn’t like it
Once they realize he’s just like them and they finally relax around him they find out just how much of a teen his is
(And how op he can be when angry)
Bonus
What if he’s related to Robin?
Like a great uncle or something
And robin just freaks out internally for a month cuz like.... he’s related to the first hero and king of the dead?????? And he’s very much alive and kicking?? “I swear I’ve seen him at the circus I think he was moms uncle??” That being said that makes jazz robins granny
Side story
After Mary (that’s dicks moms name right,?????) moves to the circus and promises her mom she’s happy ,safe, and very loved (jazz sends Danny to watch over her for a bit) jazz moves into Danny’s castle and retires eventually passing on and becoming ghost (I don’t want no angst) once she turns ghost she goes back to her early 20s and becomes the castle therapist. her lair is a large library that’s very comfy and calming. Once she finds out she’s heartbroken over Mary’s death and that she can’t do anything for dick since she’s too weak to enter the living realm so she sends Danny dicks way to watch over him as a friend and mysterious mentor when needed but Cadmus gets to Danny first and he never meets dick .
When Danny realizes who robin is he breaks down and apologizes for hours (leaving dick confused at first )promising he’s here now and he’ll do what he can to help
At one point he brings dick to meet his granny (she becomes his therapist) (dick finally puts it together that he’s related to Danny)
Double points she eventually becomes everyone’s therapist because she can change her looks to make everyone more comfortable (ex for the teens she looks a lot younger and the adults she looks older and more motherly) and because of her obsession ( to comfort the hurt/ heal the mind )she feels safe to everyone and she can feel their emotions stronger then any other ghost (we don’t talk about spectra here nope nope nope)
I wrote a thing that’s part of this au

The World of Superman: His Super Friends and Family PT.1
Kryptonian Members
Kara Zor-El: The cousin of Superman, Kara Zor-El landed on Earth 30 years later than Kal-El due to debris from Krypton sending her ship off course. Due to this and the make of the ships onboard stasis, Kara remained unaging on her journey to Earth. When she arrived however Kal-El would take it upon himself to help his cousin adapt to life on Earth where they would build a sibling like relationship as Kara was taken in by the Kent's as one of their own. Upon taking on the House of El sigil just as her adopted brother Kal-El, Kara would become known as Supergirl in her teen years before adopting the moniker; Powergirl.
Jor-El II: Named after his Kryptonian grandfather, Jordan Kent is one of Clark’s twin boys. A rather shy and anxious kid, Jordan is the quieter one of the two harboring limited Kryptonian abilities showing the limits human genes put on hybrids. Jordan while not as shining as his more out there brother still cares greatly for those around him and has an aptitude for science among other things.
Jon-El: Jonathan is named after his human grandfather and is the much more louder of the two boys, the golden boy if you will. Seemingly being more gifted than Jordan, Jonathan is more of an out there heart of gold kid who enjoys sports and getting rough n messy. While not having a knack for science like his brother Jonathan does have a knack for machines and tends to help out on the farm whenever his mother needs him.
Kon-El: A clone born of combining the DNA of both Superman and Lex Luthor, Kon-El would be found alongside his “sister” Cir-El in Project Cadmus’ secret laboratory under the name Project Kr where Cadmus’ scientists were attempting to create metahuman Kryptonian clones in an effort to destroy or replace Superman should he perish or turn against mankind. Kon-El would receive his Kryptonian name from his father and his human name from his friends on the Teen Titans, Conner Kent. In time, Kon-El would take on the mantle of Superboy alongside the House of El sigil. Due to Kon’s half human parentage and genetic modification, his meta-gene has yet to activate limiting him to weaker levels as well as limited levels of a pure blooded Kryptonian’s abilities. It was for this reason his “younger sister” Cir-El was made half Amazonian to counteract this power issue.
Cir-El: A clone born of combining the DNA of both Superman and Wonder Woman, Cir-El would be found alongside her “brother” Kon-El in Project Cadmus’ secret laboratory under the name Project Kr where Cadmus’ scientists were attempting to create metahuman Kryptonian clones in an effort to destroy or replace Superman should he perish or turn against mankind. Given the earthling name Mia Lara Kent and her Kryptonian name Cir-El, she would take up the mantle of Supergirl II after receiving her aunt Kara’s blessing. Cir-El is the genetically engineered child of Wonder Woman and Superman, the reason being due to the genetic complexity of the Kryptonian genome resulting in Cir-El’s older brother Kon being limited in his Kryptonian abilities due to his half human nature. With Cir-El being half Amazonian, she sports boosted abilities of that of a Kryptonian including the activation of her meta-gene which is divine in nature due to Wonder Woman’s DNA thus allowing Cir-El a higher resistance to magic, the ability to summon, manipulate, absorb and redirect lightning, as well as talk to animals.
Krypto: A normal wolf that was altered by meta-tar to have super strength and durability comparable to Superboy, Krypto was named by the Titans and adopted by Kon-El & M’gann M’orzz.
Kem-El: A Kryptonian AI, he is programmed to stop crime and protect Kal-El, even with excessive force. He created the Fortress of Solitude as a means to revive Kal-El, returning to the Fortress to charge his body with ion rays to accelerate Kal-El's recovery following his battle with the monstrous Doomsday.
Lor-Zod: The birth son of General Zod and his lieutenant Faora-Ul, Lor-Zod is the Red Son of Russia, the Ultraman. Lor-Zod’s pod landed in a Ukrainian collective farm in Soviet, Ukraine. There Lor-Zod is immediately taken in and recognized as an alien with advanced powers and abilities that will be used for the greater good of the country growing up as a Soviet citizen, the “Soviet Superman” is a good person who dedicates his abilities to the safeguard of Soviet citizens. His origins of how he survived Krypton’s destruction is similar to that of Kal-El’s but where as Kal-El was sent to Earth on purpose, Lor-Zod arrived by mere chance as the young Kryptonian was born on the Black Zero ship where following Krypton’s destruction it was damaged with a portion of it being the debris containing Lor-Zod that crashed on Earth years later.
Thara Ak-Var: An Argonian survivor, Thara Ak-Var goes by the moniker of Matrix. She is the last daughter of Argo, Krypton’s sister planet who managed to survive in stasis until help arrived in the form of Lor-Zod who traveled amongst the stars for a time to witness the remnants of Krypton. Being saved by Lor-Zod brought the two close together, and upon returning to Earth Thara and Lor-Zod had begun a relationship with one another. She protects and rules the Soviet nation alongside Lor-Zod, and their Kryptonian AI Brainiac that has been programmed to protect the two Kryptonian’s similarly to Kal-El’s own Kem-El. Thara is unique in that she is a meta-kryptonian, one who posses the ability of projecting, manipulating, absorbing and controlling fire of all kinds that even extends to her solar absorption ability being augmented higher than the conventional Argonian and Kryptonian.
Val-Vex: A fellow survivor of Krypton, Calvin Ellis is a member of the House of Vex. He like many others succeeded in fleeing Krypton before its destruction and landed on Earth shortly after Kal-El had where he was found by the Ellis family. Raised to stand up for himself no matter the odds, and to fight for what's right, Calvin would come to become a close confidant and friend to Kal-El when the latter emerged as the Man of Tomorrow. He in time would also run for President against Lex Luthor and won, being able to aide in affairs using his costumed identity and public for the greater good.

Okay time for some analysis
Buckle up
1. Quick (Because that is not Pietro)
Not saying he's sus, but he's sus.
Probably trying to manipulate Wanda into resurrecting their parents as well?
Also trying to manipulate her into confiding in him
Where did his accent go?
Telling Wanda outright she's repressing her trauma? Sounds like a SWORD therapist
Trying to anger her, multiple times (makes you wonder, Monica did the same thing)
Hijacking their kids? More likely than you think
2. Agnes
Gonna focus on one scene
- when Vision first sees her in the car, she's teary
- when he touches her forehead, the tears disappear
- and when he touches her forehead a second time, they come back
- either she's completely innocent, or being controlled by an outside force, or an LMD, you decide
3. Vision
Lots of character development here, "he really wants out"
Is his life force tied to Westview?
Why didn't he just die when he stepped out?
When he was talking to Agnes as "herself", his JARVIS voice came back, as well as his old speech patterns (you know the ones)
Also, the tension at the beginning - Vision is finally becoming self aware
4. The Twins (Part 2: Electric Boogaloo)
Speed is modelled after Quick
Wiccan is modelled after... Vision, or Wanda
Leads to - either they are legitimately Vision's kids (HOW?) or they're just Wanda-Pietro clones, in which case she is really round the bend
Their powers seem to be enhanced by being around the older twins, or being inside Westview (we aren't too sure yet)
One thing that points to Vision as father is Wiccan's brain bond, that's what Wanda felt when Pietro was killed, right? See?
5. Wanda
DUDE, this woman is not okay.
Everytime her grief intensifies, she becomes more powerful - either by gaining more power or unlocking more potential. (If you want a list just ask.)
Even though her grief fuels her, she gets pissed if you bring it up... and throws you through a bunch of walls and/or decorations
Getting unstable, and more interesting by the day
6. Hayward
Hayward more like heybitch am I right
So, what if he wants Monica to go through the HEX again, just to see what happens?
So, he's a dick, that mom comment was out of line
If he's tracking the vibranium decomposition progress, he means to collect Vision's corpse, but Wanda isn't letting that happen
"He really wants out" has he communicated with Vision before?
One of the my eyes only files is probably just dirt on Wanda
Bitch boy, I hope he dies
7. Westview
Everyone is becoming more self aware, or they're tuning in to Wandas needs
The way her power was fluctuating before Pietro and Vision gave her a nudge, hmm
Out of everyone, why was Agnes unaffected
Maybe Wanda's and Vision's powers together can keep the town going, but not apart
8. On to the really wild theories, leave now or forever hold your peace
Agnes was dressed as a witch - now I'm not sure how much Shakespeare yall know, but in Macbeth, the witches were his downfall, and his manipulative wife did nothing to stop it. Their prophecies were just vague enough to lead him to his death... and also her cackling, really reminded me of the three witches
After Agnes drives away, the signs on the road say "Rolling Hill" and "Ellis". Rolling Hill was unfamiliar, however, Ellis is the name of the guy who came up with the extremis plot in the comics. You know, that's the movie where Pepper gets held hostage and Tony has to rescue her - are we seeing parallels or not?
So, we tried to see if Agnes has robot eyes (to go with the LMD theory), because Vision now has human eyes, but unfortunately, the only shots I looked at were blurred.
The kick ass bit was funny, you have to admit
If Hayward had stopped and let himself get captured, he would have saved a bunch of people, but he's a dick, so he didn't.
Agnes shouting dead, dead, dead, reminded me of witches too.
Yeah, I think that's all, see you next week

Being a lesbian and also autistic, I’ve always had like. an interesting relationship with my gender- like when i was a kid i was really comforted when i heard about the term tomboy, and i described myself as such for a long time.
And like, i definitely also went thru that mindset that most women do where you just, despise everything associated with traditional femininity because obviously liking the color pink and wearing ugg boots meant you were ���giving into the patriarchy” or whatever nonsense have you.
Tho my last two years of highschool, i realized that’s bullshit and i should live to do Girly Things if that’s what made me happy, and be unapologetic about it. And i was, i wore make up a lot and wore pinks and went to Starbucks and went to prom- and i loved it, i truly felt comfortable during that time. Now i had times were i would dress in flannel and jeans and shit cause i also knew i liked to look futchy too, but yea for the most part i was very feminine, and i was happy to express myself that way.
But... that being said, as I’ve lived outside of high school, i do wonder sometimes how much of that joy i felt about dressing that way came from the confirmation from others that i was doing a great job of fitting in with how girls are expected to dress an act. As an autistic person, trying to fit in socially is a struggle, and when we do it right, we are often praised by others and our own minds for doing so.
While that can be harmful for autistic ppl in general, being queer on top of that might also give the person (in this case.... me lol) a warped sense of gender identify and expression. On the side of my autism, there’s a desire to chameleon myself into society, and there is joy in successfully doing so, but that joy is, overall, short lived. As much as i like to Look Good, my first need as an autistic person is to feel comfortable in what i’m wearing. Even if i feel good wearing feminine clothes, the dread i eventually develop over having to wear clothes that are Nice Looking over a sweat shirt and loose jeans... it builds up, and eventually i think you can experience burn out from it.
But that’s the sensory stuff; i still acknowledge that, most of the time, i do have a desire to express femme-like. I like long hair, i like putting on short shorts and having round thighs and sleek shoulders an a softer face and wearing flowing dresses
And to be fair, I still adore the futch and butch Looks as well, and i often find myself yearning to chop my hair shorter and wear loose jeans and denim jackets and fingerless gloves. Like, the amount of times I think of Ellie from TLOU and just go “wow, i just wanna look like that” is quit often lol.  
But still, you can be a woman and dress masculine and feminine, i know that.
So....... why do i also find myself seeing men or male characters and thinking “god, if only i looked like that”? What about Frodo’s sharp jawline yet gentle voice and soft eyes made me think “thats me”, was there something about Danny Phantom’s clone being a girl and him being a man that made me so entranced as a kid when i saw it, why is it when i look at Cloud Strife in a dress do i ponder “is this what people mean when they say they experience gender euphoria?”
The idea of being a “man” or presenting masculine while not identifying as a woman or a man has been a off and on question since i was about 14, maybe even younger but 14 was when i had better terminology to think about it.
I don’t.... think i want to be a man, no, i don’t really like how that sounds or feels. I’m... ok with being a woman, but there are times were i dont really want to be a /woman/. I just want to be a body, a blank canvas to express a look or idea in that moment, and when i’m done with it, i have a “home base” gender to return to, something i’ve known and that i find familiar and safe. 
But yea... it’s confusing, and sometimes i feel dumb for thinking or talking about it, but it was been on my mind a bit the last.... while i guess??
Idek what terms to use. like.... technically i’m nonbinary, like by what i just described, you’d think that’s how i’d identify, but for some reason using that term doesn’t feel right for me. But i’m not a Woman either, i’m like?? a Queer Woman, yknow?
Sometimes i wonder if my sexuality is also just what i want my gender to be which i KNOW sounds ridiculous because they are two separate things but its just a thought i had. Like... women, yes, but. Queer about it.
Pronouns are also Wild, like i use she/her and honestly, even tho im like... and off-brand queer “woman”, i really do prefer she/her. They/them and he/him and other pronouns i’ve seen dont Feel Right, so um............. she/her will probably always bee the pronouns i use tbh. Maybe its my autism brains just liking familiarity, but they feel most comfortable to me even if im Not Exactly A Woman. 
Anyway...... this probably made no sense, but it was just on my mind i guess. TLDR; my gender’s just my name at this point and sometimes i think i wanna be a Boi but ehh?? eehmhmmmklsjdfl yknow?

95. Knuckles the Echidna #11
Tumblr media
The Forgotten Tribe (Part Two of Three) - Covenant
Writer: Ken Penders Pencils: Manny Galan Colors: Barry Grossman
Despite the dire circumstances, and Knuckles' anxiety, Athair proclaims that nobody is going to die today, only shouting it louder as one echidna lets go of his wife's feet to give her and his child a better chance at hanging on. To everyone's surprise, instead of falling, he floats, saved by some mystical power Athair exerts to keep him aloft. With that, the rescue effort begins, with Knuckles and Athair working together to make sure no one falls into the lava below. Knuckles dives for one echidna who's about to hit the lava, and while he catches him safely, Knuckles ends up splashing directly through the molten rock in doing so.
Tumblr media
Yanar watches in awe from the sidelines as Athair raises everyone out of harm's way all at once, floating in the air to safety, and is amazed that Knuckles appears to have some sort of power too given how instantly his injuries healed. Once everyone is away from the lava, they make camp for the night. Meanwhile, back in Echidnaopolis, the Chaotix have run through a rainstorm (probably still the effects of the Day of Fury) to Remington's office.
Tumblr media
Oh boy, this will go well!
That night in the echidna camp, Knuckles finally questions Athair about why he abandoned his own role as Guardian years and years ago. He begins to recount his childhood, starting with following his mother around the Floating Island learning from her all the duties of a Guardian. Once he was old enough, she did something that should look very familiar to us…
Tumblr media
I guess this is something all Guardians go through once they came of age to take over their parent's duties. Unlike Knuckles, who was (and is) consumed with a burning need for answers, Athair was content to carry on his duties and wait for answers to come to him instead - and come they did, in the form of the Ancient Walkers whisking him away to see the group of wandering, homeless echidnas, just as Athair did to Knuckles last issue. The echidnas began to call him "Mitre," which was their title for the guide who would lead them to journey's end, at the fabled city called Albion. The Walkers then took Athair to Haven, where he met up with his mother once again, who explained that she had been "called away for a greater purpose."
Tumblr media
Those few panels already make Janelle-Li sound like the best Guardian and parent we've seen so far, totally the opposite of Locke. She happily stepped in to take her son's place so he could go fulfill his destiny elsewhere, trusting him and helping him actively. Athair took up his place as Mitre of the tribe down on the surface, and eventually met his future wife, Crystal-La.
Tumblr media
That's an interesting term for falling in love, "succumb to the Soultouch." Wonder if we'll hear any more on exactly what that entails…
Anyway, with Athair's mother dying, he still refused to go back to being Guardian, believing his duty as Mitre was more important, and sent his son Sabre, Knuckles' grandfather and Locke's father whom we saw before, to take up her duties instead. Sabre left angrily, believing his father was shirking his duties and his rightful place, and became the next Guardian, leaving Athair as the only one in the long line of Guardians to step down and pursue a different path. However, Athair and the tribe's troubles on the surface were not yet over…
Tumblr media
That's pretty tragic - but keep in mind we are talking about something that could only have happened within the last ten years at most. Athair is ancient at this point. Let's assume that Mobians age at the same rate as humans, that Guardians tend to have children at the age of twenty-five, and that Crystal-La was barely eighteen when they married - with Knuckles being sixteen now, that would mean that Athair is about ninety-one years old currently, with Crystal-La being a spry young woman of seventy-three. In all possibility Athair and the others are even older, I'm not sure if there's an exact timeline of births and deaths I can check somewhere, but Athair, I get losing your wife was sad and all, but she's not a Guardian. She would have died soon anyway due to old age, and while the manner of her "death" is certainly very tragic, you spent a long, happy life of married bliss together (albeit with many hardships for the tribe along the way) and even if she's gotten her mind back now, which is certainly a possibility, if she ever gets turned back she's just going to grow a bit older and then die in a few years anyway. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh on him about this, but I do know that she was never mentioned again in the comic, meaning she's likely lost for good. Sad for Athair, but again, this is kind of like thinking Ellie's death in Up is the most tragic thing in the movie when we just saw a montage five minutes ago of her and Carl living an entire full life together up till very old age.
Anyway, back to the story - ever since then, Athair has continued to watch over his tribe and act as an agent on the Ancient Walkers' behalf, as though they were a patron deity (or deities) of sorts. Knuckles, exhausted from all that hard work of listening to Athair's stories, decides to go to bed, and in the morning awakens to find Athair gone, "following the Ancient Walkers" once again, with Yanar insisting that he's left Knuckles in charge of the tribe. Knuckles reluctantly begins to lead them, and encounters a sign indicating they're entering the Kingdom of Mercia, which if you remember was mentioned on that map of Mobius in Sonic Super Special #2, in an area vaguely analogous to Europe. He's quickly interrupted by a request from a young lady from the tribe.

So this is Mari-An, and she's a badass. Knuckles, appropriately, is impressed and even asks her somewhat jokingly if she's related to Julie-Su by any chance. Knuckles and Mari-An split up within the woods to find her two brothers, while Yanar holds the tribe in place - something which doesn't last long, as some robots appear out of nowhere and begin grabbing people, Yanar being the first. He's thrown into a dungeon with two familiar faces…

Hey Sonic and Tails! Looks like you've gotten yourself into a bit of trouble since last time we saw ya, eh? Moreover, there's a Sonic clone aiming a bow and arrow at Knuckles! We'll find out who he is and what his deal is next issue, but seriously, another Sonic clone? How many plotlines in all of Sonic media have relied on someone being mistaken for him? I'd like to think, based on this, that despite Sonic's vivid and unique appearance to us, he's actually extremely average-looking for a Mobian hedgehog, the equivalent of your typical brown-haired light-skinned medium-height male in America blending in with a sea of other similar-looking white guys. It doesn't necessarily make any sense how people mistake someone like, say, Shadow for him from a distance, given the wildly different color scheme, but I like the idea nonetheless.
