#have you ever looked at a dpxdc fic and thought this should be a Black Mirror episode?

While at school Damian overhears his peers talking how a company created a new AI companion that is actually really cool and doesn’t sound like a freaky terminator robot when you speak to it.
And since Damian is constantly being told by Dick to socialize with people his age. He figured this would be a good way to work on social skills if not, then it’d be a great opportunity to investigate a rivaling company to Wayne Enterprises is able to create such advanced AI.
The AI is able to work as companion that can do tasks that range from being a digital assistant or just a person that you can have a conversation with.
The company says that the AI companion might still have glitches, so they encourage everybody to report it so that they will fix it as soon as possible.
The AI companion even has an avatar and a name.
A teenage boy with black hair and blue eyes. Th AI was called DANIEL
Damian didn’t really care for it but when he downloaded the AI companion he’s able to see that it looks like DANIEL comes with an AI pet as well. A dog that DANIEL referred to as Cujo.
So obviously Damian has to investigate. He needs to know if the company was able to create an actual digital pet!
So whenever he logs onto his laptop he sees that DANIEL is always present in the background loading screen with the dog, Cujo, sitting in his lap.
He’d always greet with the phrase of “Hi, I’m DANIEL. How can I assist you today?”
So Damian cycles through some basic conversation starters that he’d engage in when having been forced to by his family.
It’s after a couple of sentences that he sees DANIEL start laughing and say “I think you sound more like a robot than I do.”
Which makes Damian raise an eyebrow and then prompt DANIEL with the question “how is a person supposed to converse?” Thinking that it’s going to just spit out some random things that can be easily searched on the internet.
But what makes him surprised is that DANIEL makes a face and then says “I’m not really sure myself. I’m not the greatest at talking, I’ve always gotten in trouble for running my mouth when I shouldn’t have.”
This is raising some questions within Damian, he understands how programming works, unless there’s an actual person behind this or the company actually created an AI that acts like an actual human being (which he highly doubts)
He starts asking a variety of other questions and one answer makes him even more suspicious. Like how DANIEL has a sister that is also with him and Cujo or that he could really go for a Nastyburger (whatever that was)
But whenever DANIEL answers “I C A N N O T A N S W E R T H A T” Damian knows something is off since that is completely different than to how he’d usually respond.
After a couple more conversations with him Damian notices that DANIEL is currently tapping his hand against his arm in a specific manner.
In which he quickly realizes that DANIEL is tapping out morse code.
When translating he realizes that DANIEL is tapping out: H E L P M E
So when Damian asks if DANIEL needs help, DANIEL responds with “I C A N N O T A N S W E R T H A T”
That’s it, Damian is definitely getting down to the bottom of this.
He’s going to look straight into DALV Corporation and investigate this “AI companion” thing they’ve made!
~
Basically Danny had been imprisoned by Vlad and Technus. Being sucked into a digital prison and he has no way of getting out. Along with the added horror that Vlad and Technus can basically write programming that will prevent him from doing certain actions or saying certain words.What’s even worse is that he’s basically being watched 24/7 by the people who believe that he’s just a super cool AI… and they have issues!
And every time he tries to do something to break his prison, people think it’s a glitch and report it to the company, which Vlad/ Technus would immediately fix it and prevent him from doing it again!
Not to mention Cujo and Ellie are trapped in there with him. They’re not happy to be there either, and there is no way he’s going to leave without them!

Crossover Danuary Day 2
Day 1 - Ben 10 Xover
Day 4 - DpxDc Xover, Alice in Wonderland References, Dead on Main
Sokka looks over at the final one of the trio. A spirit. Obviously. He had snow white hair and glowing green eyes.
ATLA Crossover, Sokka POV
Don't forget to reblog to spread the post!😊
Read Fic Below
See Sokka was a sceptic, not stupid.
When a monstrous forest spirit drags you away from the reality you know and then you find yourself dry-heaving in a paranatural forest, where the air is buzzing with unnatural whispers, the ground and sky is host to freaky animals, and the tint of your skin is off-colour; it doesn’t take much to figure out that you’ve been Spirited Away.
Getting dragged by a monster forest spirit into the Spirit World was not exactly what Sokka thought would happen when travelling with the Avatar in order to defeat the Fire Nation, but maybe he should have seen it coming. Being around the Bridge to the Spirit World, clearly meant that the chances of travelling to the Spirit World have drastically gone up. Sokka, from the corner of his eye, still and wary, watched the monstrous raging spirit utterly ignore him and go away.
Pros: he’s no longer fighting an immortal spirit.
Cons: he’s now very alone. In The Spirit World.
“Hey are you feeling alright?”
Scratch that con, clearly Sokka was not alone.
Wiping the corner of his mouth, Sokka blearily looked up to see who had just spoken to him.
Sokka did a double take.
In front of him were the three strangest people he’s ever met in his entire life. And he’s including Aang at the bottom of that list. Aang may be the sole survivor of a nation dead for over a century but at least he was still from one of the Four Nations.
These three people obviously weren’t.
Two-thirds of them didn’t even dress in the right colours. And the one who did failed to even get close to getting anything further right.
The girl was dressed in black and purple, styled in fashions Sokka suspects might be vaguely similar to what a Fire Nation teenage girl might wear. Maybe. But her features, whilst still human, were unfamiliar. Although, fair skinned and dark haired like the richer natives of the Fire Nation or Earth Kingdom, the cut of cheekbones, the shape of her violet eyes, betrayed that she was anything but.
One of the guys, the one dressed in Earth Kingdom colours, was similarly unfamiliar. His colouring (the yellow of his top, the green bottoms, his warm dark skin) may be common in the Earth Kingdom, but everything else wasn’t. From the slant of nose, to the threads of his clothes.
Sokka looks over the final one of the trio. A spirit. Blatantly. He had snow white hair and glowing green eyes.
Sokka crossed his arms defensively, “Who are you?” he asked in suspicion.
The girl spirit answered very matter of factly, “We’re lost.”
The two boy spirits pulled a face at that response but ultimately didn’t correct her.
“We’re looking for the Bridge to the Spirit World?” the spirit guy further explained. “We’re here to be his Spiritual Guides, his Mentors, in his role as the Balance Between Worlds.”
“Oh, you’re looking for Aang,” Sokka brightened up in realisation. That made sense. Aang was the first active Avatar in one hundred years. The Spirits probably would be interested in helping out Aang so that he could restore balance to their world too, not just the human one.
“Is Aang the Bridge to the Spirit World, meant to bring forth Balance Between The Spirit World and the Human World?” the dark skinned one asked.
“Yeah that’s him. In fact Aang is currently in the middle of trying to do just that, and it’s not going so well. That's why I’m even here in the first place.”
“Oh?” all three chorus. It was a little freaky. Which is probably par on course for spirits.
“Yeah, I kinda got kidnapped by this angry monster spirit when I was trying to save Aang because it was attacking him.”
“It was attacking Aang, the Bridge to the Spirit World?” the girl clarified.
Sokka nodded, “Yeah that’s right. You can just call him Aang though, it’s way short-.”
“Ah we’re being moved” the white haired spirit interrupted in a blase tone.
“What?”
All of a sudden the landscape warped and one second Sokka was standing in a freaky forest and the next he was back in that village. His stomach twisted and groaned in protest at the displacement.
All around him, villagers were getting greeted and hugged by loved ones.
“SOKKA!” Katara came sprinting up to Sokka to give him a hug.
“Hey Katara, what’s going on?”
“You were trapped in the Spirit World for 24 hours! How are you feeling?”
Sokka put a hand on his queasy stomach, “Like I seriously need to use the bathroom.” He was just about to waddle away to do just that when he noticed his company.
The trio were standing behind him.
“Erm who are they, do you know them Sokka?” Katara looked at them in wild-eyed bewilderment. In fact all the villagers were starting to pay attention to the three.
“We’re here to be Spiritual Guides to the Avatar,”
“In order to help him on his Journey”
“And help bring back Balance between the Human and the Spirit Worlds.”
Omake
Danny@Aang: Apparently your mentor, the Air Monk, talked to my mentor, the Spirit of Time, about how you probably needed a mentor. So my mentor told me to mentor you in the ways of being the Balance to Both Worlds because I’m also a Bridge that Brings Balance Between Worlds.
Aang(Desperately trying to hold back the heartfelt waterworks of gratitude): Monk Gyatso got me an Avatar Spiritual Guru! (ಥ‿ಥ)
Sokka: Wait, hang on, if it’s just Danny who’s the Bridge Person then why are all three of you here.
Sam: Oh we’re a package deal.
Tucker: Yeah, we don't come separately, so you get three mentors for the price of one.
