It was a beautiful morning. Somehow, against all odds, the sun was shining through the thick smog perpetually covering Gotham.
And Danny hated it.
He was in pain, he was exhausted, he was grieving, and all he wanted to do was sleep for at least a week.
In an act of celestial mockery, the sun shone regardless.
After around twenty minutes of tossing and turning in bed, trying to get back to sleep, Danny gave up and pried himself out of bed.
He stumbled through the hallway and into the living room, staring openly at every splash of color he saw in the small apartment. He hadn’t forgotten what color looked like in the time he was in the lab, but it was comforting to see.
Someone cleared their throat. Danny whipped his head around, eyes falling on a scrawny, gangly man sitting down in a worn armchair, hunched over a laptop. He was looking at him with a dull, bored expression.
Right. Scarecrow.
His escape.
The chase.
His mom.
“You look a lot less terrifying without the mask,” Danny blurted out, slapping his hand over his mouth. “I didn’t mean that.”
“Well, I certainly wouldn’t call my normal appearance frightening,” Scarecrow hummed, focusing his attention back onto the laptop, “that’s what the costume is for, after all.”
“Oh.”
After a brief moment of excruciating silence, Scarecrow spoke.
“You any good with computers, Danny? Hacking, and all that?”
Danny jolted. Scarecrow needed his help with something! This was great! Now, he’d have more of a reason not to get rid of him!
“Oh, uh, yeah! Not as good as my friend Tucker, but I think I’m pretty good.”
“And you’re familiar with the GiW’s systems specifically,” Scarecrow continued, beckoning him over. Danny complied, shuffling over awkwardly. “Right?”
“Well, I guess? My friends and I got into their stuff a couple of times before they…”
“Wonderful,” Scarecrow said, standing up with a stretch. He shoved the laptop into Danny’s hands and gestured for him to sit down on the couch. “Then you can hack into their system and extract whatever files you can find.”
Danny stared at the man like he’d lost his mind. He looked back at him expectantly.
Danny sat down.
“Yeah, I-I can do that. Tuck and I built a back door into their system ages ago,” he said, checking the screen. It was clear that for all the skills that Scarecrow had, hacking was definitely not one of them. “But, uh, don’t you have someone else that usually does this sort of thing for you? Not that I’m complaining!”
Scarecrow scowled, and Danny felt his heart fall into his ass.
“Usually, I do,” Scarecrow huffed, “but I chose to leave my most recent job with the Penguin early, so now there’s no way that he or Eddie will help me with anything until I make it up to them somehow.”
“Oh,” Danny said.
He had no clue whatsoever who Eddie was.
Danny got to work quickly, hoping that if he ignored the gangly man, he would leave him be. Luckily, he did just that, leaving to go work on something in another room.
Danny checked the laptop’s security before continuing Scarecrow’s progress, making sure that the GiW wouldn’t be able to grab their location.
It was…threateningly good. Whoever Eddie was, he had somehow crammed the functionality of a top-of-the-line PC into a tiny, beat-up old laptop. It almost reminded Danny of Tucker and his terrifying competence with his PDA.
Tucker.
Amity park.
Home.
Danny snapped himself out of his thoughts, tabbing back into the application Scarecrow had up and began to work his magic.
He had near full access to the entire GiW database within half an hour.
Mumbling out a quick thank-you to Tucker, he called Scarecrow over to appraise his work.
“Fixed up some food for you while you worked,” the rogue said, handing him a bowl of oatmeal, taking the laptop into his lap as he did so, “didn’t know how well you could eat, considering you’re recovering from… surgery, so I decided to stay on the safe side.”
Danny had no clue what this guy’s deal was.
He definitely did not tear up at the first genuine thoughtfulness he encountered in weeks, and he did not look away as he ate so that Scarecrow couldn’t see his face.
At least Scarecrow was too focused on the laptop to notice or care.
Or, maybe, he was just mercifully ignoring him.
Either way, Danny ate slowly, not wanting to make himself sick. He allowed himself to absentmindedly look around the room for the first time, taking everything in.
It was strangely homey. The space was filled with warm browns and yellows, a few splashes of color on the wall in the form of (obviously gifted) paintings. There was a beat-up bookshelf against the wall, clearly second-hand, filled to the brim with psychology books. On every available surface there was a different colored candle, all at different stages of use, clearly collected over the course of years.
Danny knew that the man next to him was a crazed, murderous criminal, but his home was oddly reminiscent of Jazz.
He was not about to cry.
“Danny,” Scarecrow hummed, snapping him out of his spiraling, “can you explain this to me?”
He looked over. The rogue was pointing to a new report, seemingly posted only a few hours ago.
Nodding, he took the computer into his lap, pouring over the contents.
He read the report again.
And again.
And again.
Danny swore loudly, crumpling like a wet paper bag, head in his hands.
“What?”
“It’s…” he swore again, glancing back at the laptop, “they…since you became liminal from synthetic ectoplasm, when we’re within about 500 meters of one another, our ectoplasm signatures resonate, and they can’t track us with any of their technology.”
“How is that a bad thing?”
“If we’re not that close to each other, they can track us down from anywhere in the world.”
Scarecrow went dead quiet. After what felt like the single longest minute of Danny’s life, he let out a truly exasperated sigh, slumping over in his seat.
“Yeah, me too,” Danny mumbled, utterly miserable.
“…I’ll have to move my plans back a little,” Scarecrow sighed, “I can’t drag an injured child with me when I attack the Gotham GiW base, you’ll just get in the way.”
“Oh come on,” Danny whined, “I can take care of myself just fine. Besides, Batman brings kids with him to do dangerous stuff all the time, and he’s fine!”
“Might I remind you that the second Robin died violently,” Scarecrow snapped, “and that Batman most likely has more traumatic brain injuries than all of the Gotham rogues combined. That really isn’t the winning argument you think it is.”
Danny paused, trying to think up some way to win the argument. Then, he realized what he had ignored before.
“Wait, Scarecrow, you’re gonna attack the GiW?”
“That’s the plan,” he nodded, “and call me Dr. Crane. I’m only Scarecrow when I’m in the mask.”
But,” Danny sputtered, “Sca—uh, Dr. Crane—that’s insane! The weapons they’ve got- they’ll rip you apart!”
“Not my first time,” Crane said, making Danny wince. “Besides, I have plenty of experience avoiding gunfire. I’ll live.”
“You…” Danny was silent for a while, trying to think of something to say, “fine, but you have to take me with you wherever you go. As soon as they see either of us on their radars, they’ll hunt us down.”
Dr. Crane sighed.
“…Fine. I need some time to plan anyways. Now, you’re going to help me download these files, properly format them, and send them out.”
“…Why?”
“Well, some of the other rogues might appreciate the heads up, and I’d quite like them to be indebted to me. Besides, I still need to pay back the Penguin for ditching him, and he loves knowing things that other people don’t.”
Danny paused.
“That’s an awful idea, no offense. If any of the rogues know our weaknesses, they—”
“Danny, we’re censoring everything. The only things they need to know about are the GiW specifically, and any sort of laws surrounding them.”
Danny snorted.
“You care about laws now?”
“Yes, because if we get taken to Arkham, they’ll hand us off to the GiW the moment they ask, and it’ll be completely legal.”
Oh. Danny had honestly forgotten that Arkham was an option.
“…Ok. I’ll help you. Who are we telling?”
“I don’t think you really need to know,” Dr. Crane said, the faintest shadow of an amused look on his face, “but I’ll humor you for now. We’re sending the files out to the Penguin, Riddler, Poison Ivy via Harley Quinn, Two-Face, and Red Hood.”
Danny nodded. He could live with that.
“Alright, then let’s get to work.”

Why is your father obsessed with Batman??
He rated him 9/10
((Omg heyyy hiiii it’s Crow hehe. I like bringing up jon being weird >:3))
I mean- have you seen the way that man holds him-
Just looking at the two, there’s the wet sopping cat next to the big buff dude!
There is something gay about the way the two interact- and I am NOT scared to say it!

Possibly a bit late for it, but vis a vis Scaredad: the ponies decide to do a stageplay of The Wizard of Oz, and due to contrivances, they make Scarecrow play Dorothy. (And still make him sing "If I Only Had a Brain")
Yes, I wanna draw this now
Also, let’s give Crow a water pistol cos I find this parallel hilarious

The ponies accidentally break a vase while playing football in the house, and the rest of the episode is dedicated to them trying to raise enough money to buy a replacement before Scaredad gets home from fighting Batman. There's a b-plot where one of the ponies recruits Robin into keeping Batman and Scarecrow distracted because as it turns out sonething very similar happened back at the manor. The episode ends with the ponies just barely missing their goal and having to explain everything, and Scaredad just tells them that if they had been honest from the beginning they could have avoided all of it. They decide to put the money into a savings account, setting up a running plot-thread of one of the ponies handling finances from now on.
Awww I love this!
Plot twist: The vase the ponies broke WAS the one taken from Wayne Manor

I'm just imagining a bad thunderstorm happens in Gotham and one of the ponies (let's say Scootaloo) goes running to hide under Scarecrow's coat. When questioned she reveals that she's scared of thunder, but she doesn't have to worry because she knows Scaredad will protect her. Cue the tears.
Riddler teases him about his own daughters being terrified of a measly storm but not the Fear Doctor himself. Scarecrow tells him to go die, but they both know he doesn't mean it.
Scarecrow: Go away before I make you perish, Edward
Riddler: Ha! I know you cant hurt me! Dont want to traumatise the poor kids, now do we? Thats not Father of the Year material, isnt it?? (snickers)
Scarecrow: Ah, yes, how is your father doing? Still absent from your life?
Riddler: (embarrassed) S-shut-s-stop wasting your breath , Crane! Middle school insults do nothing on me! A-and we all know your mothing without your fear toxins!
Scarecrow: (darkly) I may not have my fear toxins on hand, but I can still illicit fear in OTHER WAYS
Riddler: Oh really? Prove it
Scarecrow: Let me start with some (snaps fingers that eeriely cues the lightning strike again. Slight whispers echoing around him. The room grows dark, Riddler notices Crow's lurking behind him. He turns around to see Crow now a towering figure looming over him with glowing yellow eyes and smoke seeping out of his etched mouth, as the Scarecrow finishe his sentence in an echoed, reverbrated tone)
P R E S E N C E !
(Cue Riddler running away screaming. Scarecrow reverts back to his normal form and walks back to Toola Roola, now longer afraid of the storm outside)
Scarecrow: Heheh, still got it.
Toola Roola: Wow!! That was so cool! Scary, but cool! I still have goosebumps!
Scarecrow: That is scientifically impossible, but I appreciate the sentiment (headpats the pony)

Aside from Scaredad, what's each pony's favorite rogue?
Cheerilee: Oh I can’t choose Dad? Okay, ummm… Oh! I like Babs! She’s pretty smart and very kind. We’ve been doing crossword puzzles lately and she’s helping me with my spelling .
Scootaloo: NO, DAD’s the BEST!! Ugh, I have to choose one? Fine. I also like Babs, she’s pretty cool! We play video games together when Dad’s working!
(Cheerilee: Hey, you can’t choose Babs! She’s my favourie!
Scootaloo pokes her tongue out)
Sweetie Belle: I really like Dad too, but I also really like Ms Isley! We make flower crowns together and she even gave Dad a giant snappy flower thingy! A Venus flytrap, I think it was called?
Pinkie Pie: Dr Quinzel, definitely. She’s hilarious! Although she can be a bit mean towards Dad.
Starsong: Mr Karlo, he’s such a talented actor and it must be so fun to be made out of clay so he can be literally anyone! I wanna be a star just like him when I grow up!
Rainbow Dash: Ms Selina of course, she’s super cool and she takes me shopping to all the high fashion stores! Although it’s weird she calls herself Catwoman when she looks nothing like a cat. Unless you count the ears.
Toola Roola: I really like Mr Todd, he may look angry on the surface, but he’s very kind. He taught all of us self defence skills and he really likes my drawings! He says I can be a real artist one day!

Maybe a talent show ep where Scaredad has to help out all of the ponies who want to do their own thing for the talent show.
I love this. I bet he spreads the entire city in fear gas except the theatre just so people can watch his kids' performance

who are your favorite and least favorite characters to draw in ScareDad?
I think I like drawing all the characters. I don’t think there isn’t any one I don’t like to draw
It’s only drawing backgrounds and posing is what really pisses me off cos I’m not as good as posing and making comic composition as I think I am

Kinda bummed out that Arkham Bruce is a serious killjoy rather than a dad of plentiful kids. I feel like if he was more like WFA Bruce he might go to playdates with Damian and the G3 ponies. Common Arkhamverse Bruce L.
Its not my fault Rocksteady chose to characterise Batman in the least interesting way.
While he doesnt feature much in my Scaredad crossover, hes a bemused little shit who isnt disturbed by the G3 ponies' excessive cuteness but he does keep an eye on Scarecrow, thinking this whole dad thing is just a cover for an evil plan, when it isnt.
