Chapter Fifteen: Afterschool
The twins and Dario returned home without Domenico. Jason was out with Claudia, and Noemi was fast asleep, so Angelo was the only one awake to notice. “Kitty, where’s Dom?” Angelo asked. Katerina ran to her room, and Cecelia followed closely behind. Dario tried to run, and Angelo caught him. “Oh no, you don’t. Where’s Domonic?” 
Dario frowned. “He’s at your school,” Dario whispered. Angelo set Dario down before slipping on a jacket and shoes. “Where are you going?” 
“To get our brother. You stay here and wait for Papá. Don’t tell him where we went… No matter what, scricciolo. Can I trust you?” Angelo asked. Dario didn’t answer. “What am I saying? Dario, wash your hands and eat a popsicle.” Dario nodded and let Angelo leave. He ran down the street and past the gym until he reached his school. 
Angelo stopped, leaning over and struggling for air while he looked for Domenico, and listened until he heard the sound of a struggle behind the gym. “Domenico—!” The older boy swung and hit Domenico in the nose, and Domenico staggered back, wiping the tears from his eyes. 
“Go home!” Domenico shouted as he stood across from his opponent. The other boy stood nearly a foot taller than him. “Go home!” Domenico wiped the blood from his nose. 
“Stop it! What are you trying to prove by fighting him?” Angelo screamed despite his hoarse voice. “Nico, don’t touch him! It’s me that you have a problem with!” 
Nico tried to take advantage of Angelo’s presence to strike Domenico in the face with his fist. Domenico stumbled backward, and Angelo moved forward until Domenico shook his head. “Are you going to throw a punch, or what?” Nico asked. Domenico shook his head at Angelo, and in the same breath, he punched the boy as hard as he could in the stomach and throat, climbed up the gate, and jumped on his back. Domenico wrapped his legs around Nico’s neck until the older boy dropped.
“Dom, that’s enough!” Angelo screamed. Domenico got off Nico’s shoulders and punched him out. Angelo grabbed Domenico, who leaned on him for support. “Are you okay? Let’s get out of here.” 
Angelo picked Domenico up and carried him to a bench near Giorgio’s. Angelo looked into Domenico’s eyes. “Are you alright?” Angelo questioned. 
“Why do you care?” Domenico mumbled. 
“Dom, I didn’t mean—. I did mean it, but I didn’t mean to hurt you when I said it—.” 
“You did… And I do understand. You don’t think I get it?” Domenico snapped.
Angelo frowned. “Is that why you beat Nico up?” Angelo asked. Domenico shrugged as he wiped tears from his eyes. Angelo carried him home, and Jason swung the door open and took Domenico from Angelo. 
“Dom! What happened to your face?” Jason asked as he sat on the couch. Angelo grabbed the first aid kit, shining a light in Domenico’s eyes. “What happened?” 
“I got in a fight,” Domenico mumbled. He bowed his head. 
Noemi gasped when she saw Domenico and held his face in her hands. “ My poor baby! What happened to you ?” Noemi asked. 
“I got in a fight at Angelo’s school,” Domenico answered. 
“With a—? Did you win?” Noemi asked. 
“Mia amata!” Jason exclaimed. “Did you?” Domenico nodded. 
Noemi smiled with sad eyes. “Who was it?” Noemi asked.
“Nico,” Domenico answered. Jason and Noemi exchanged glances before laughing. Angelo sat on the coffee table across from Domenico and cleaned his face. 
“No more fighting kids twice your size. Okay? We’re gonna let this one slide,” Noemi replied. Jason nodded in agreeance. 
“Nothing’s broken… I’ve never seen you move so fast. You’re gonna have to show me how to do that,” Angelo whispered. Domenico laughed before bursting into tears. Angelo hugged him. “Dom, you’re the best. I know I don’t tell you that enough. I’m sorry.” Jason and Noemi slipped away to let them talk. 
Domenico sobbed as he held onto Angelo. “I wanted to hurt him because he hurt you,” Domenico cried, “I’m sorry. I just—. I want you to like me again.” He gasped in between sobs, and Angelo rubbed his back. 
“I never stopped liking you. You’re my little brother. I wouldn’t be me without you… And now I owe you because I can tell everyone at school that Nico got beat up by a little kid,” Angelo chuckled. Domenico looked at Angelo with tears in his eyes and laughed. “You’re the best.” Angelo took the ice pack and held it to Domenico’s eye. 
“My head hurts,” Domenico whispered. 
“Mine too… Are you hungry?” Angelo asked. Domenico nodded. “papá brought home some melon gazpacho. I’ll make you a bowl.” 
Domenico nodded. “I had to take those punches, so it’d look like a normal fight,” Domenico explained, “I want you to know I’d never let a guy like that beat me up. I don’t care how big he is.” 
Angelo laughed. “You’re too smart for your own good. Are you sure you don’t want to go to school with me?” Angelo asked. Domenico laughed, shaking his head. 
“Too much science. I’d be bored,” Domenico replied. Angelo stuck his tongue out at his brother. “Angelo?” Angelo took a ladle and spooned gazpacho into two bowls. 
“When I get better, you can do your homework in my room like you used to,” Angelo whispered. Domenico smiled. Dario entered the living room with a popsicle and started crying once he saw Domenico’s face. 
“Come here, topino,” Domenico whispered, reaching for Dario. He scooped his younger brother up and squeezed him. “I won.” Dario frowned as he kissed Domenico’s cheek. “How are you today?” 
“Papá gave me an extra popsicle. I talked to a girl in my class. She made me a paper frog,” Dario whispered. 
Domenico kissed his cheek. “Topino! I’m so proud of you! Tell big brother,” Domenico replied. Dario let Domenico hold his paper frog as he hopped off Domenico’s lap. 
While Dario was distracted, Domenico crept to the twins’ room. “I lived,” Domenico joked. Cecelia crossed her arms. 
“You’re going to get in trouble,” Cecelia muttered as she turned up her nose. 
Katerina ran to him and punched his shoulder. “Oww! I used that flying triangle thing you taught me,” Domenico answered. 
“Did you win?” Katerina asked. 
“Kitty! Dom’s about to get in trouble, and that’s all you care about?” Cecelia questioned. 
“Did you get enough momentum on your jump?” Katerina questioned. Domenico nodded. 
“I won… And I didn’t get in trouble,” Domenico replied as he tapped Cecelia’s nose. “Don’t be mad at me.” 
Jason knocked on the bedroom door. “Showers and homework,” Jason reminded softly. Cecelia high-fived Jason and took her pajamas to the bathroom. “Thank you, Sheils.” 
“No problem, Papá,” Cecelia answered.
“And stop teaching your brother how to kill people. I hear everything,” Jason whispered before kissing her cheek. “Also, thank you for giving Claudia something to do today… And no more fights. They’ll start noticing that you kids can do more than just box.” Domenico nodded. “You okay?” 
“Uh-huh…” Jason gestured with a tilt of his head for Domenico to follow him. They sat in Domenico and Dario’s room on the floor. Jason pulled at one of Domenico’s curls. “Papá, I’m okay—.”
“You don’t have to prove that you are who you are… Not to me… Not to anyone. Do you understand?” Jason asked. 
“Yes, Papá… But—. Well, how will—? I don’t want to be different—.”
“You’re not. You look like me, fight like Katerina, act like Mamma… And you’re responsible like Angelo. If anyone knew you, they’d see that you’re the same as your siblings in all the ways that matter,” Jason whispered. He lifted Domenico’s chin with his knuckle and smiled. “Your brothers and sisters are crazy about you. Mamma and I adore you… You want a hug, don’t you?” Domenico nodded. 
Jason pulled him into his arms and took a deep breath. “I love you, Papá,” Domenico whispered. 
“You’re so much like me… It’s scary. Do you know that? I want you to be better than me, though,” Jason replied. 
“I can’t do that—.” 
“That’s where you’re wrong. You can do anything,” Jason smiled.

Obviously, I do love "Terry and Matt Meet the Batfam Earlier" AUs because fuck yes I want my Neo-Gotham boys to interact with all the other Batkids.
But I will also admit that the biggest appeal for me is watching Damian lose his fucking shit over:
1) No longer being the only "blood son" and all the subsequent smug ass remarks/jokes the Batfam will make at his expense for all the years of smarmy assholery he subjected them all to with that particular "justification."
2) No longer being the "baby" because as much as Damien wants to deny it, he does secretly love all the attention and privileges that come with being the youngest.
And, last but not least-
3) He has to be the older brother now and there's genuinely nothing more terrifying than the thought that he has a responsibility to look out for his younger half-siblings. And while he may be no Dick Grayson, his pride alone absolutely refuses to let him be anything less than perfect. Even if that means he will now have to put effort into interacting with and building a relationship with Terry and Matt on a continual basis.
Lord fucking knows that if he doesn't step up, the rest of the family will find some way to corrupt them beyond repair.
(Damian, of course, doesn't realize yet that Terry and Matt are already beyond "saving," but he'll be damned if he doesn't at least try to salvage what he can).

Legacies
Dick will live many years. He will spend his youth doing what he loves; saving people. But eventually his joints will start to ache before he’s even gotten out of bed and there will be a trick knee or bad shoulder that just never comes right. By the time that happens, he will have a child and a woman who he wants to spend the rest of his life with. Between him and that woman, they will have raised a child who is kind and clever and brave. So when Dick’s body just can’t keep up with him anymore, he can slow down. He can support his child, regardless of if it’s as simple as making study snacks and giving lifts or as intricate as playing Oracle over coms at night.
But Nightwing doesn’t disappear from the night. There’s no one Dick would rather give it to. The world needs a Nightwing and Damian doesn’t disappoint. Damian’s Nightwing is loyal and fierce and brilliant. Damian honors Dicks legacy while carving a space out in the world for himself, free of the league and his father. Because that’s what Nightwing is all about. It’s about taking what you’ve learnt from those that came before to become your own hero.
And Bruce will also live a long a life. But even he must succumb to time. His body ages and he cannot demand of his body what he did twenty, even ten, years ago. Someone younger must inherit the mantle. Someone worthy, who knows what it means.
Damian doesn’t become Batman. No, there could only ever be one Batman after Bruce Wayne; Cassandra. No one doubts this is the right choice, least of all Damian. Cassandra loves her fellow man almost as much as Bruce Wayne does, while also understanding how much it takes not to succumb to the darkness in the world. Cassandra can do what needs to be done. She is Batman.
And one day, Cassandra will hand the mantle to Terry.  When it is finally his time, and not before, Terry will learn from both Batman’s that came before him.

I just thought about this but Batman Beyond meets Captain Canary au where Sara Lance becomes the new Canary after her mom dies and is mentored by Dinah Drake, the now elderly original Canary. Felicity is her Max and Len (Jack) is her Dana/Melanie. Mick is a member of the Darhkz (based off of the original Canary’s villain), Lisa (Ten) is Len’s younger sister, Quentin is concerned, and Laurel is minding her own business in college. I just thought about this, but I don’t know, it could be really fun

There is a episode of justice league ultimate where Batman Wonder Woman and Green Lantern go 50 years into the future because a guy made a time traveling belt in his garage and tried to take something from the watchtower for his “collection”
Anyway I was just thinking about this episode in particular and how a time traveling villain vs Danny Fenton (because of course this is a dcxdp idea) where the villain keeps stopping and starting time and it doesn’t effect Danny at all and in frustration the villain asks “why isn’t this working on you!?”
And Danny, ever the harbinger of chaos shrugs and says, “nepotism, maybe?” And punches the guy in the jaw.

DP x DC AU
Danny's gonna adopt all the Halfas in Gotham whether he wants to or not, and it's gonna start with the little dead girl he found after crawling out of that portal in the league base.
Pt 2 here. My Au Art
...........................
There's a dead little girl sitting on the rug in front of Danny's coffee table curiously eating Cheetos.
Well, she's not all the way dead, only half, could even be a little less then that, Danny would know he's sort of the leading expert on being half dead.
Her skins blue, like comic book mystique blue, vibrant and impossible to miss. Shes got these big black eyes and a nasty split going straight through her upper lip to just under her right eye.
She's also missing her nose, it's just gone, no cartilage left over just the gaping nasal cavity like skulls have.
The little girl looks dead, she is dead, or she's at least as dead as Danny is which is almost exclusively in name only.
Her name is Curaré, Danny only knows it because it's been branded into the skin of the little girls neck, just under the curve of her bald skull.
Curaré is terribly thin, the little toddler sized T-shirt she has on hangs loose around her torso where baby fat should fill it out.
She's horrible to look at, a tiny nightmare, her corpse like coloring doing nothing to mitigate the appearance.
Curaré was neither a healthy nor normal little girl, there was no way Danny could have left that league facility without her.
Oh and she almost exclusively spoke in Spanish which made finding her dinner hard.
Not that Cheetos are really dinner, little kids need to eat more then that Danny was pretty sure, like 89% sure. Although they did have a lot of calories...
Danny tilts his head absently as he looks at her, the little demon being illuminated red and green by the glow of the TV. She's enraptured by the Scooby doo rerun Gotham's only spanish language channel is playing tonight.
As if she can feel his eyes she turns to him and tilts her head the same way.
Danny blinks at her, Curaré blinks back.
" Uh- " Danny starts, trying to remember anything from his Spanish elective from sophomore year. God, his teacher had been right he had needed to study more. " The Cheetos, you like them? They're uh...bueno? Oh! Son Buenos?"
He points his finger down at the snack sized bag in her grasp, her fingers are tiny , they must be so fragile, looking at the desperate grasp they have on the bag makes Danny's chest hurt. How could anyone be so small? Had Danny ever been that small?
Curaré blinks again, long and slow, processing Danny's words. She looks down at her Cheetos and back up at Danny then she carefully holds the bag out to him.
" Oh no that's ok they're for you kiddo" Danny insists.
Curaré shakes the bag at him, like enticing a stray cat with treats but he only shakes his head again.
She gives up after that, shrugging and turning back to her cartoons.
Inside her chest Danny can feel her ghost core vibrate placidly as Scooby and Shaggy run across the TV in a panic.
Danny's own core can't help but try to match it's frequency, a low contented humming echoes between them, safe it seems to say.
Curaré can't be older then 4, which means she was resurrected young and that she died even younger. Danny doesn't know how any of it happened, halfas aren't created easily, the amount of energy needed...
She's so small.
He hopes it was fast, whatever it was that did this to her, made her like him.
Danny also hopes that her injuries aren't permanent. Some ghosts keep the carnage of their corpses well into the after life but as a Halfa Curaré should heal, even if she got those injuries during her ressurction. For her sake it'll be much easier to find some sense of normalcy if she isn't always actively bleeding, even if the blood itself is just an ecto-echo of real blood.
Danny curls his knees up to his chest and hides his face for a moment just trying to breathe. He's too young to be taking care of a toddler, he's still six months away from turning 18 and hes got school on Monday. His eyes burn and his throat constricts as he tries to swallow.
No one else but Danny would know how to take care of Curaré, and she's got no family to try and stumble their way through it. Danny can't take her back to the league and he sure as hell isn't going to search for whoever put that brand on her neck.
Even if he dropped her off at the fire station Gotham only has one Meta focused orphanage, it's state run and all the kids in it have to wear little prison style jump suits. And the food sucks, Danny can personally vouch for that.
She doesn't have a home, she's just as out of place here in Gotham as Danny is. Danny really wishes, not for the first time, that he had an adult here. Like Jazz or hell even Mr. Fuckin Lancer.
Just anyone. Anyone who could tell Danny what to do about this. Who could help him out with the child he's suddenly acquired.
He wishes anyone else was here so it wouldn't just be him and Curaré. Two dead kids sitting on the floor of a studio apartment in the Bowery watching cartoons.
What a pair the two of them will make, oh God. Danny laughs as a few tears stain his jeans.
Curaré makes a curious little noise that has Danny forcing his head up. She's reached the inevitable end of her snack sized bag and she looks absolutely devastated. She turns to look at him, tilting the empty bag towards him as if to say ' can you believe this shit!'
Danny can't help but give her a watery smile, no more crying Fenton, and wipes his nose on the back of his hand.
" Okay, one thing at a time." Danny tells himself. " You finished your Cheetos and now it's time for dinner, right? Stop me if I'm wrong."
Curaré just looks at him.
Danny's not worried, they're gonna have all the time in the world to teach her to appreciate humour and also English.
" I'm going to take that as a yes. " Danny hops up off the floor and goes to find his phone, nobody does dinner like the local Batburger.
Little foot steps follow him into the hallway, he'll have to get used to that sound he's going to be hearing it a lot.
Food first, everything would be better after they ate.
...............
For BG I imagine he's been living in Gotham for a few months and found Curaré while popping in and out of different portals in Gotham. (Who woulda guessed that some portal in Gotham leads right to the lazarus pit)
Note: if u wanna see cool art for this AU it's all in the Danny and the little dead girl au tag on my pg!

Jason breaks into the League of Assassins base to get some Lazarus water to bring back Bruce.
Instead, he finds Timmers laid out, unconscious, on an operating table.
Right next to the Pit.
Basically, after Tim loses his spleen but before he wakes up from the life saving surgery that took it out of him, Jason finds him and assumes he was dunked in a Lazarus Pit.

You know what I want to write. Like even a oneshot or something. Imagine for a moment, some sort of timeline where Terry and Matt Mcginnis exist, but Bruce still has all the children he does in canon. So a lot of children.
Now bring in Terry and Matt, but make them far smaller children than Bruce has had to deal with before. I am talking toddlers or near. Bruce now has to try and raise a literal toddler and baby with his childrens' insisted help.

Dp x dc au in which Batman thinks that Danny is Damien's dead twin.
Inspired by that one tumblr post I saw a long ass time ago and can't find anymore about Danny and Damien looking exactly alike but having no relation to each other. In that post one of op's reasons for Danny and Damien looking alike is that there's supposedly seven people in the world who look exactly like you.
Idk bout how accurate that is but imma pick it up and run a marathon anyway.
So, let's just say that Danny's having a particularly rough day, he had to turn in several assignments, most of which he did the night before, had teachers throw pop quizzes at him like everyone throws insults at me and it's overall a very shitty day.
He's tired, he's grouchy, and he can barely lift his head from sheer exhaustion.
Enter a random ghost terrorizing people. Any ghost.
And so Mr. Daniel the-ancients-hate-me Fenton has to take care of it. And he fucks it up and the ghost gets away. Already sleep deprived as he is, he stays up another few nights scouring Amity just to find this ghost.
Needless to say, he doesn't find it.
Eventually, he concludes that the ghost most likely went back to the ghost zone.
...
Unbeknownst to Danny, that ghost just made it's way into Gotham, terrorizing citizens while the resident Bats and Birds aren't able to do anything about it. Apparently normal weaponry just goes through ghosts. Huh.
Batman is not having a good day.
The day gets worse when ANOTHER ghost who looks exactly like Damien comes along and takes care of the situation.
Bruce concludes that Damien had a twin he never told him about/ didn't know about who was experimented on/killed by the league. And now Damien's twin, his son, has returned as a ghost.
....
Meanwhile Danny just saw the news about ghosts in gotham on the internet and dragged his sleep deprived ass all the way there to soup it.
Why is there a bat furry calling him son and trying to get him to "move on".

Jervis and Jonathan being parents 🎩🎃
Tumblr media
Jervis was always someone excited about marriage and family. Jon showed no interest, and was repulsed by the idea of ​​being pregnant, but in the end he decided to have a baby with Jervis.
Ghoul was more interested in the horror movies his dad watched, and he pretended that he was ready to watch them but he ended up scared, wanting to sleep in his parents' bed.
Tumblr media
I just liked the idea that Ghoul has Tetch as a last name
Just some ideas I had and wanted to share. Let me know if you would like me to clean up and color these sketches 🎩🎃

A drabble based on my rp with @the-silver-peahen-residence for Terry and Eren (I will try to reply to our threads soon I promise)
—-
Eren ran out onto the field with the rest of his little league team. One of Terry’s friends had to drop him off here, but Terry had promised to be there after his business meeting. He had promised to be sure that it did not run long or at least that it did not run overtime. Eren was excited to show his skills to Terry. The boy had been surprised how easy it was to get Terry to agree to little league soccer, but then again his anger management had been coming along great. So perhaps it had been to reward him.
Eren looked to the stands expectantly, but his heart sank. He couldn’t see Terry anywhere. He looked back to the field somewhat bitterly. He should have known, that stupid company took Terry’s time, even when Terry had promised it would be a day for them, they called him in. He didn’t know why he bothered getting his hopes up. He would just be playing soccer, and albeit with his friends, he had so badly wanted Terry to be there. For them to have something to share being proud of Eren over, yeah he did good in school, but that hardly made him proud. School was easy. He hardly struggled.
Sports on the other hand, those where hard. And Terry had missed his last two Karate tournaments. Two, and those were all day. He sighed and shook his head depressed. He better focus on the game. He could see the look on coach Hans’s face. The man knew how Eren had looked over there and for who. He gave him a thumbs up to let him know he could still play.
His friends Armin, Connie, Marco and well, his rival Jean were all counting on him. They where a few wins away from the play offs. Then they could very well be in the county finals. That would be exciting. But they had to win this first. A tie would not do. Nor would a loss, only a win for them qualified. Especially since their record would not justify a spot in the wild card tournament.
The instant the whistle sounded, Eren was game. He had learned to tone down his aggression a lot since he started playing, but he was neck and neck with the other team’s captain, the older Reiner Braun. The two where in some heated completion for the ball.
The two teams went back and forth, winding up tied at half time. Eren said nothing as he sipped his Gatorade and munched on his healthy snack.
“Eren get your head in this, we need to win, and you are our best goal kicker!” Jean hissed at him. “We only need one more goal to win!” Well that was easier said than done of course. But Jean was being Jean.
“Stick it horse face.” Eren said not looking up at him. He was still upset that Terry was not there. He definitely was not in the mood for Jean being Jean.
“Eren you should be nicer.” Marco chastised and then looked to Jean. “And you get off Eren. He is just having an off day. It happens to the best of us.”
That was when a new, yet familiar voice joined the fray.
“Come on Eren, a tie? I know you can play better than that.”
Eren’s eyes widened as he stood up and turned. Sure enough, there stood Terry, with their dog Ace on a leash. When had he gotten there?
“Terry!” Eren ran to him and hugged him after Terry picked him up and spun him around. “When did you get here?”
“Tail end of the half. Sorry kid, stopped at home to change and Ace just had to come, then the dang car broke down on the way here. So we had to run the rest of the way.” Okay that last part was a lie. He had to stop and become Batman and stop a crime real quick, but Eren was still important, so he made it there on time. “Now, I know the field sides have changed, going downfield gives you the advantage. Get back out there and show them who Eren is.”
Eren nodded. “Yes Terry, can we get Ice Cream in the way home?” The boy asked as he looked up at him.
“Of course. Wouldn’t be a sports day without it.” Terry nodded and ruffled Eren’s hair.
“With sprinkles?”
“Only if you win kiddo. Sprinkles are for winners.” Terry knew it would give Eren the extra motivation he needed to win.
“Then sit back and watch me get three goals!” Eren declared and hurried back onto the field.
Ace then looked up at Terry with a whine.
“I know Ace, but I believe in Eren. He is a good boy, and excellent soccer player.” Terry assured the dog and petted him as he watched Eren take the field and lead the charge. With any luck, he would owe the boy ice cream with sprinkles soon.
