I would like to think that maybe Maddie worked with the League for the Lazarus Pits/or her family's connected with the al Ghuls, and that Ra's kinda see her as the same like Bruce minus the detective part. And that Tim is really just a clone of Maddie and probably one of the assassins in the League where Maddie ended up running away with the baby. She was unable to take care of Tim because she was on the run and she knows that the baby did not deserve this life of fear and paranoia. Maddie was probably young (maybe 19-ish) when she escaped the league with the help of her now not estranged sister, Alicia. Maddie and Alicia tried to find the possible best family for her son. They found one seemingly the best couple for Maddie's son, its just that they requested to never contact them or the baby ever. Which Maddie is fine with really. Really. It sucks that she never would have expected them to have sucky parenting skills, which is probably none. And the rest is history.
The prejudice of Maddie against ghost actually makes sense here. She probably sees what happened to the people dipped in the Lazarus Pit thinking ghosts are just the same if not worse, and because PTSD. She thinks that the ghosts are as sadistic, full of rage and feels no pain just the same as the people unfortunately bathed with the Lazarus waters. But Maddie is a good mom here cause as soon as she knew that Danny is a (half-)ghost, that he is Phantom and that THEY are the reason why he is that, she was ready to throw away their weapons, sell away their lab and destroy the portal with her own bare hands. And if she discovered that someone tried to kill Tim, she would make sure to threaten and scare them, even at the cost of the al Ghuls finding her again. She would probably make up for the lost time with ALL her children, and that includes you Dani you lovable clone you.

GUYS
GUYS
SK
What what
L
?
A
WHAT IS TIM IS BIOLOGICALLY MADDIE'S SON????
SK
Omg
A
He's older than Jazz and Danny, having been born before she married Jack
Because Jack and Janet totally seem like the kind of parents who would adopt for appearance's sake and then be horrible parents and pay off CPS
This is a Good Parents Jack and Maddie Fenton only story
L
Yeah, wouldn’t that suck to find out as Tim tho
A
Right?
Maddie only knows who adopted him, so she knows he's Tim Drake, but she's not allowed to make contact and has no clue anything is wrong
He finds out when going through some of his parents’ old papers
He's rattled, but curious
So, he reaches out to them, something about touring their lab and a potential business partnership
And so, they meet
SK
And he finds out he has younger siblings who could definitely use his help?
L
I have so many ideas but brain no translation
EP
Danny: This guy looks like me, but has posh manners and is talking about becoming business partners with my parents, despite everyon thinking they're crazy...Oh no, did the Frootloop make a stable clone?
Danny: Look, he may say he cares about you and he's a good man, but he's not. He's a rich basket case who can't let go of the past
Tim: I know, but he's trying his best
Danny: He really isn't
(neither realizing the other is talking about a completely different one percenter)
A
Tim is a little confused as to why his little brother is trying to sabotage his relationship with Bruce
Like
What could he hope to gain by this?
another thought
Maddie totally tracked down a Lazarus pit to study for her thesis
She met Talia
For that single summer they started a fierce rivalry
L
I like where this is going
A
Tim has to call in his Mom due to a ghost problem in Gotham (this is post reveal, she's better with ghosts now)
And the Wayne's sit there and watch her kick butt
Damien is unexpectedly quiet and wary around her
"That's my Mom," Tim brags with a smirk after she finished and starts clean up
And Damien hisses
"you're related to MADDISON???"
He steps back and gives Tim a long, considering look
Then nods
"Acceptable, Fenton"
Then he leaves
He refuses to call Tim a Drake again
SK
Lol yes I love this so much!
A
This is especially good because I'm pretty sure it's canon that Maddie is a black belt in at least one martial art
She is fully combat capable
She's a genius inventor
She is every inch Talia's equal
What she lacks in lethality, she more than makes up for in ingenuity
SK
I love Talia and Maddie being enemies, but please also consider:
What I'd they're exes?
A
how did you read my mind????
What if Talia still misses her???
What if Damian has to call him brother now?
SK
Perfection✨✨
A
Talia joins the "let's kill Jack" club with Vlad
Danny was excited to fight ninjas at first but now they're boring and such a bother
Why does everyone want his dad dead?
Jason is impressed and deeply intimidated by Tim's Mom
He's heard stories about her at the cradle
She put the fear of God into Ra's
SK
This keeps getting better
A
And when she finds out about what happened during Brucequest...
She might need to go visit the old man and see how he's doing 😁
Pru calls Tim after it's over and absolutely gushes about his Mom
She has a new goal in life
Be Maddie Fenton
Ra's is so upset he let Tim get away in the end
What do you think is Maddie's maiden name? Or did Jack take her name?
SK
I kinda like the idea that Jack took her name
A
Right?
Damian is very wary of her and looks like a cat whose fur got rubbed the wrong way when she's around
He finds her very unsettling
Dick is in awe
This woman can get Damian to do things with minimal fuss
“Teach me your WAYS!” He cries.
Cass likes her a lot and is very curious about her homemade equipment
Jazz isn't sure what to think about this whole thing
She sure did get a big brother out of it
It's very disorienting for her tbh
She's not quite sure how to process the whole thing and it keeps taking longer because stuff just won't stop happening
Poor Danny is being worn thin and just wants a nap
Then he realizes that neither Vlad or Talia have blackmail on him
So, he tattles
And Maddie is very upset that there are people trying to kill her husband
SK
She protecc
S
Talia gets a very angry phone call
A
Vlad is flat out cut out of her life
She gets a restraining order on him for her entire family
She pulls obscure League lore knowledge out of her back pocket and declares a personal war on Talia in a way that makes Damian pale and Talia shocked
Ra's has already "stepped down due to health reasons"
So, she's essentially challenging Talia for control of the league over the crime of trying to kill her husband
Now Jazz has a costume. Have Dani as a bonus.
