The job was just a temporary solution. It was a means to an end. To help him handle his obsession until things were better. Until it was safe to be out again. Until he could roam around freely without fear. Until he no longer needed to lay low or be on the run. Until he could return to being Phantom.
This job helped keep his obsession somewhat sedated. Sure, it was a shady bar, but it beat working out in the open in some other way or becoming a non-ghost vigilante and risking his human persona too.
Besides people tented to underestimate him because he was a 'twig' in their eyes. The bar owner nearly didn't hire him until he easily flipped a human truck over his shoulder and threw the guy out the back door on his interview day.
But again this was just meant to be temporary. He got to fight the trouble makers and protect customers from the rowdy crowd.
At some point, the people even started cheering whenever Danny was on the clock, his coworkers even leaving the heavy hitters to him. It was kind of fun always seeing the sound looks of the big guys that didn't think Danny could throw them out the door with one hand. The owner had said something about getting more customers ever since Danny started working for him.
Danny even recognized regulars now. Tho there was this one guy with a red helmet that gave him a weird feeling. But the guy wasn't making trouble so Danny left him alone.
Besides the Bar Owner always pet his shoulder after he threw someone out. That meant he did a good job right?
Though Danny did wonder how long this temporary job would last.

Yea his Fenton luck struck again. Danny didn't know faces. The bar was a shady place but neutral zone according to the owner but there was the golden rule of not messing with Joker. Danny had agreed even tho he didn't know who that guy was.
Soo the day came a clown made trouble in the bar and no one else appeared to want to do something. So what did Danny do? His job. He punched the guy, knocked him out and threw him right out the door a little too hard into a brick wall. He might have broken a couple of that clown guys bones. Hello trauma, Freakshow greets you.
The bar was dead silent right after, everyone staring at him like he had just signed a death sentence. The owner had then pushed him out the door and muttered something about sending Danny on vacation and to return in a month if he was still alive by then.
Did that mean he was fired or got a weird kind of promotion?
Why was that guy in a furry suit staring him down now?
Also why was the red helmet regular suddenly trying to hire him for his gang?
Really Danny just wanted a simple job that sedated his obsession, this was not what he expected to happen for a job well done.
I think he should get made fun of more
Based off of this:
- When she talks to other people she sometimes says Dad. Usually to professors. Strangers and school friends.
- To her one of the reasons she doesn't call him Dad much is cause she correlates "Dad" with her bio dad and disappointment. To her and the other kids
"Bruce means dad. This does change eventually as she's around him more. Especially with some of the others calling him dad
- One of her college professors went on a rant about the rich and how they should burn and included Bruce on the list and it pissed her off cause she knows Bruce didn't really care about the money and if he didn't use it to help others he would rather not have it
- He started singling her out after he realized she was affiliated with Bruce. She kept her calm and asked him how much he donated to charity. The professor tried to claim Bruce only did it for tax purposes but he gave away way more then he would ever get back so moot point.
- One time one of her civilian friends lost their scholarship due to some technicality and Stephanie was thinking of getting a job to help and was talking to Tim about it. And by the next day it was fully paid. She thought Tim did it. But Bruce did it. He overheard them talking and got it done. Tim was so confused cause he knows he didn't and realized what Bruce did.
- Bruce wasn’t a man of many words, and she helped him realize that if he just got better at talking he would have a better relationship with his kids. She actually pushed him to therapy.
- One time she was hit hard and went down. She was out for a week. They weren’t sure if she was gonna make it. Bruce. Tim and Cass took turns sitting by her side. Bruce begged that if anyways listening to please save her.
Stately Wayne Manor, as it exists in my BatFam universe.
One of the chapters in Profiles describes the general layout, so I thought it'd be fun to draw up a floorplan. It is not to scale.
My thought was that the Manor would have been altered over the generations, so there'd be a good starting structure, with the room placement becoming a bit hectic over the years.
