AU where Mr. D claiming to be Percy’s dad accidentally counts as Claiming according to Greek god law or whatever and now all the other gods legitimacy believe Percy is his son, but if Mr. D corrects it, he has to explain to Zeus why he pretended he was Percy’s dad so now he’s like “YEP ol’ Perry Johansson is MY child wowie just look at the little fry, you have your mother’s eyes. Please stop standing next to water or you will blow my cover”
Meanwhile Poseidon is just standing off to the side like “how on earth did I dodge THAT bullet”

Beyond the Diagnosis: Living Life to the Fullest After Cancer
The journey after a cancer diagnosis is a profound and life-altering experience. While the initial shock and fear may be overwhelming, it’s essential to recognize that life does not end with a diagnosis. In fact, for many survivors, it marks the beginning of a new chapter filled with hope, resilience, and the determination to live life to the fullest.
Understanding Life Beyond Diagnosis Embracing the Present Moment One of the most significant lessons cancer survivors learn is the importance of living in the present moment. The uncertainty of the future teaches us to cherish each day and find joy in simple pleasures.
Shifting Perspectives A cancer diagnosis often prompts a shift in perspective, leading survivors to reevaluate their priorities and focus on what truly matters in life. It’s a reminder to let go of trivial concerns and embrace what brings genuine happiness and fulfillment.
Physical Recovery and Wellness Importance of Physical Activity Regular exercise plays a crucial role in the recovery process after cancer treatment. It helps rebuild strength, improves mood, and reduces the risk of recurrence. Whether it’s walking, yoga, or swimming, finding an activity that suits your abilities can make a significant difference in your overall well-being.
Nutrition and Diet Maintaining a healthy diet is essential for supporting the body’s healing process and reducing the risk of cancer recurrence. Focus on incorporating plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins into your meals while minimizing processed foods and sugary drinks.
Managing Treatment Side Effects Many cancer treatments can cause side effects such as fatigue, nausea, and pain. It’s essential to work closely with your healthcare team to manage these symptoms effectively and improve your quality of life during and after treatment.
Emotional Well-being Dealing with Fear and Anxiety Fear and anxiety are common emotions experienced by cancer survivors. It’s essential to acknowledge these feelings and seek support from loved ones, support groups, or mental health professionals to navigate through them.
Seeking Support from Loved Ones and Professionals Building a strong support network is crucial for emotional well-being. Surround yourself with friends, family, and healthcare professionals who can provide encouragement, understanding, and guidance throughout your journey.

Exploring New Passions and Hobbies Engaging in new hobbies and activities can be a source of joy and fulfillment after cancer treatment. Whether it’s painting, gardening, or volunteering, exploring new interests can help you rediscover your sense of identity and purpose.
Building a Supportive Community Joining Support Groups Joining a cancer support group can provide a sense of belonging and connection with others who understand what you’re going through. Sharing experiences, offering and receiving support, and exchanging practical tips can be incredibly empowering.
Connecting with Others Who Understand Connecting with other cancer survivors can provide a unique form of support and validation. Online forums, social media groups, and local community organizations offer opportunities to connect with individuals who share similar experiences and challenges.

Whether it’s completing treatment, reaching a personal goal, or simply getting through a difficult day, take the time to acknowledge and celebrate your achievements.
Finding Joy in Everyday Moments Finding joy in everyday moments is key to living a fulfilling life after cancer. Whether it’s savoring a cup of coffee in the morning or watching a beautiful sunset, cultivating a sense of gratitude for life’s simple pleasures can bring immense joy and contentment.
Mindfulness and Mental Health Practicing Mindfulness Techniques Mindfulness techniques, such as meditation, deep breathing, and visualization, can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Incorporating these practices into your daily routine can promote emotional well-being and enhance your overall quality of life.
Prioritizing Mental Well-being Taking care of your mental health is just as important as caring for your physical health. Make time for self-care activities that bring you joy and relaxation, whether it’s reading, spending time in nature, or connecting with loved ones.
Creating a Fulfilling Lifestyle Setting Boundaries and Saying No Learning to set boundaries and say no to things that drain your energy and time is essential for creating a fulfilling lifestyle. Prioritize activities and relationships that bring you joy and fulfillment, and don’t hesitate to say no to those that don’t align with your values and priorities.
Balancing Work and Personal Life Finding a balance between work and personal life is crucial for overall well-being. Prioritize self-care, leisure activities, and spending time with loved ones to prevent burnout and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Focus on gratitude, practice self-compassion, and surround yourself with positive influences to nurture a resilient outlook on life.

I can't deny that there's a part of me that's absolutely delighted that each time Bruce unjustly went after Jason, the Batkids responded in kind.
This isn't my ideal version of the Batfam, but it does warm my heart seeing Jason's siblings stand up for him.

The Villains Daughter
So! Years ago, back when the Justice League was only just starting out, only a year or two after their initial team-up, they had one of their biggest battles to date. A group of Extra-Dimensional Beings had burst into their reality, hellbent on destroying a Government Facility and the nearby small town in Illinois.
They barely managed to beat the Invading Army back, although the Government Facility and a part of the nearby Town had been destroyed in the battle.
Later, they would learn about what had happened. Apparently the Government Base, called a GIW Facility, had managed to finally Crack the secret to Interdimensional Travel a few days earlier. Unfortunately, they had opened a Portal into a Dimension known as the Ghost Zone, ruled over by a Tyrant King who wanted to enslaved all world under him. Their Breaching of the GZ had alerted the Tyrant King to the existence of their Dimension, and he had launched an immediate Invasion to try and take it over.
And the evidence supported this.
Wonder Woman shared Legends of her People, telling that their Founding Ancestor had fled the rule of a Tyrant King when she passed into the Afterlife.
Zatara shared his Magic Tomes, showing them passages detailing the horrific Rule of the Tyrant King of the Infinite Realms.
They even asked Boston Brand, the Deadman and resident Ghost about it. He hadn't been the the Ghost Zone in Years, but even he told them that he had personally fled the Tyrant King.
And they also learned that when the Tyrant King set his eyes on something, he did not falter on his Warpath to acquire it. The Tyrant King, Pariah Dark, would be back for their World, again and again.
And they needed to be prepared. This Battle was what kickstarted their true Commitment to the idea of a Team. They knew they could not defeat Pariah Dark alone, so they needed to remain as a Team.
But there was another thing that came about from the Battle.
While the JLA had been helping clean up, Wonder Woman came across a strange sight. A Baby had been left in the rubble of the GIW Building.
She asked around, investigated, and did all she could to find the babies parents. At first she thought that one of the GIW Agents had brought their kid to work that day, but their records indicated that none of the Agents had children of that Age. And Neither did any of the other workers who worked on the base, like the Janitors or the Kitchen Staff. And of they did, all of their children were accounted for.
She eventually came to the conclusion that the Baby must belong to somebody in the nearby Town, but that lead led nowhere either.
She finally came to the conclusion that the Baby's parents must have died in the Invasion, a very unfortunate but very real possibility. She was going to place her into the System, but over the course of her investigation she had grown fond of the Child.
She decided to Adopt the baby herself. She didn't know the child's name, so she had to come up with a new one.
"How do you like the name, Stella?"
The baby gurgled in delight.
...
Over the next decade of their Teams Existence, the Justice League had to fend off the Legions of the Ghost King's Army many more times. It seemed that Pariah had grown wise to the fact that they were the ones defending the Human Realm, as almost all of the later attacks were directed on them personally.
It made sense, they were the First Line of Defense against his Armies, if he managed to defeat them, their World would soon fall.
But they dealt with the attacks as they came. They had made it their mission to defend their Home from the Forced of Pariah Darks Army, and they would not falter now, or ever.
In the case of Wonder Woman, he Daughter had grown to be a fine little lady. Stella had eventually developed Powers similar to her mother, in that she could fly and had super strength, and had begged to be trained as a Hero.
And who was Diana to deny her Daughter her greatest wish? Over the next 5 years, Diana trained Stella in the ways of the Amazon's. Then, when Stella was 15, she had her join the newly formed Young Justice.
She made a great group of friends on that Team, and even started going by Ellie as a Nickname. Her best friend was by far Conner, though she didn't know why she felt such a strong connection to him? It felt like she could relate to him, but her situation was completely different?
Ah well, her Mom wouldn't mind having another kid, would she? She always wanted a Brother!
...
Meanwhile in the Ghost Zone, the Ghost King was getting anxious. After 15 years, his Agents in the Human Realm had finally managed to set up the Ritual needed to Summon Him into the Human Realm.
Who knew that accepting the Ghost King's Throne would bar him from entering the Human Realm through normal Means? He couldn't even use the Portal, he needed to be summoned or he simply wouldn't be able to leave his new home dimension.
But now, it was almost time. Just another year or two, and he would finally be able to enter the Human Realm. He would finally be able to Find Her. His Daugther.
Danny would finally be able to reunite with his daughter, Ellie.
