Someone called on the Fenton's and now Danny is hiding from the CPS. He hides in the GZ and is only find out when he goes back home bc he missed Jazz.
Time goes differently on the realms, Danny has spent years in the GZ but only a couple days have passed on Earth. Unfortunately, after so long in the GZ Danny has gotten used to speaking by emotions and not by words so he barely talks. Until they can solve the situation with the Fenton's it is decided Danny should go to a house that is used to deal with this kind of behavior.
Cue to Danny being sent with the batfam.
He arrives late at night and Bruce decides that it will be better for Danny to meet the children in the morning (especially since some are on patrol rn) Danny is offered a room in the family wing but he rushes to Cass' room.
Cass immediately wakes up and pokes at Danny. Real? She asks and Danny nods.
Cass baby core sings in pure Bliss bc now they have a big ghost that they can talk to (Jason doesn't count bc Jason is corrupted) Cass slaps Danny on pure instinct and Danny smiles and chases after her. They both run and play in the room while having a silent conversation but when Bruce puts a step on the room they freeze and hide.
He tells them that he doesn't want to interrupt their games but it is time to sleep. They agree so they grab all the blankets and pillows they can find in the room, build a nest in the middle of the bed and hide inside.
From then on they have this bubble around them, Cass is more comfortable and relaxed with Danny than with anybody else and the same goes for Danny. They are always cuddling and touching each other and having quiet conversations. Thanks to this, Cass' powers show up and Danny doesn't officially join the Bats but he always seems to know when Cass is in danger and goes to her rescue every time, even if she is in another country.
FUCK THIS COUNTRY
“-So that’s why I got these three soul contracts,” Danny holds up three mystical shimmering orbs of light before promptly smushing them together into one “One soul contract now”
Damian raises an eyebrow, which is impressive to see considering he’s at that moment wearing his mask, “you wanted the drunkard magician to owe you one”
“Clock hinted I should sort it out now for future reasons, I have learned not to argue too much about these things with him, it’s literally and figuratively a waste of time.”
“And that’s why you now have soul sight, he gave you that ability for all this”
“Yeah well funny thing, demons will try to scam you in any way they can, it’s very annoying.” but it was also really great to just go ‘I can see the actual soul stuff I want hidden behind your back…’ whenever they thought they were being clever.
“so- what the heck” Danny startles as Batman enters the batcave.
“Danny?”
“Dami… why does father’s soul look like that” Danny keeps squinting with his eyes, trying to make sense of what he’s seeing
And Damian can feel himself get tense, ready for whatever, “... like what”
“it looks… whole… but it’s like it’s made out of millions of tiny fragments, like a cracked prisma. how does that even work?”
Damian thinks really hard, “but it doesn’t look wrong right?”
“No, it's just the world's most elaborate jigsaw puzzle soul. Please explain?”
“Well… the only thing I can think of is that time where father died after we exorcized the demon Nezha from his body and afterwards brought him back to life cause I asked everyone in Gotham to share a tiny bit of their soul with him”
What “Dami what”
“it was that or dead father, Zatanna told me that my life wasn’t sufficient enough for full resurrection, in fact my life and that of the others wouldn’t have worked, so-”
“millions of Gothamites”
“yes”
“our dad is basically Gotham”
Damian shrugs, “father is father”
“Ancients”
“Finish it,” Wade ordered him, shoving the rest of the bottle at him. Danny did without question, and Logan pulled the edges of his skin together and started stitching again, his hands coated in molasses-thick neon green. “This slow-mo regeneration bullshit is baloney, by the way. Give me hyper or give me death, god damn.”
Danny giggled weakly.
“Oh, you think I’m joking?” Wade demanded. “You have discovered a new in-between hell place I had never imagined! Do you know how rare it is for me to find horrors that I haven’t lived through? But here you are getting your heart sewn up through your vivisection wound because your regeneration is too good to let you die but not good enough to fix you on its own! Do you know how hard it would be to vivisect me at all? Jesus fucking Christ! What a fucking nightmare!”
“Put a cock in it, Wade,” Logan snapped. Danny, on the other hand, was giggling so much his chest was trembling, so apparently he was the type to find his own fucked-up life funny too.

ok, fake cryptid batfam is feeding me so well right now
like “the rumor around gotham is that a Bat watched the night” type
Bruce meets the JL and they all think hes some sort of meta when in actuality they could probably kill him with no sweat if he was unarmed
Bruce taking every precaution to make sure they keep thinking that way
Robin gets introduced as Bruce’s son/fellow cryptid and they all collectively freak out bc “HOLY SHIT THERES ANOTHER ONE???”
Bruce having to make up some bullshit excuse for why Robin is a child and going around fighting crime (some excuse like: ACTUALLY he’s technically a thousand years old, so this is fine)
the rest of the batfam shows up with just elaborate fucking backstories all based in the original story that bruce made up
dick’s robin retires?
no worries, jason says, he’s currently waiting on his metamorphosis bc their species has to go through that before becoming an adult
jason dies but the backstory was that they were immortal?
no problem, tim explains that sometimes their species goes dormat because they’ve lost too much energy
they acquire steph, but only for a few days?
no worries, bruce explains, sometimes their species goes under shifting to find the right body
one of the ones that I read had Bruce using and recorder and faking having 2 hearts, which Clark could hear, and when the recorder broke, to bring in Robin and explain that Dick was his 2nd heart splitting off of him (The Hearts of Gotham by schrijverr on ao3)
another one was literally batfam pretending to be slightly human versions of the animals they were named after and kon, being desperately in love with tim as he does, decides to uses ttk to create and shape wildly expensive gems and diamonds for tim because he thinks that “birds like shiny things, right?” (tim is rightly very worried that kon, in his dumbassery, decided to make large enough diamonds to completely dismantle the industry) and clark is later shown these diamonds, also very worried about the sheer enormity of these gems (‘a fake cryptid and a real romantic’ series by suzukiblu on ao3)
another one had batfam using engineered wings for fight and flight and their wings were a perfect complement to their costumes
clark meets tim without wings and is freaking out because holy shit he has no wings did he rip them off where are they??
batfam bonds through wing painting and fixing and the jl is in awe of them and their wings
best part is most of batfam does not realize that jl thinks their wings are very real and not mechanics and only realize when one of the younger ones ask abt them (Loading and Aspect Ratio by JUBE514 on ao3)
plz plz plz give me more recs bc i love this trope so muchhh
I think it's funny if Vlad absolutely refuses to use actual swear words, regardless of the company or situation he's in. So when the day comes, when he introduces Danny as his "piece of shit nephew" to someone at a casual business event, the entire room goes silent in pure fear of what exactly Daniel Fenton has done to deserve that title...
Guess who just watched sonic 3
I just watched Puss in boots the last wish in theaters and it was even better than what Tumblr lead me to believe! Like I see death all over now and he's awsome but in the movie with all the context he's even better!
