DPxDC: Young Just Us and the ghost king

So Tim Drake is basically insane right? And the His version of Teen Titans/Young Just Us equally so.

I'm proposing that they come across Danny as Phantom during one of their many ✨ interesting ✨ adventures (Like killing Santa Claus or Interdimensional baseball to save the galaxy??!!) and just make him one of theirs without ever notifying the JL or Batman (Tim Drake going "Fuck Batman" as his teammates either stare on awe or are just used to it)

Dani and Kon get on like a house on fire. They also set Vlad's house on fire with help from Bart.

Bart was vaguely terrified because he saw Dan but also going 'New Friend!'

Cassie is just impressed with Jazz and the fact that Danny knows Pandora.

Greta is glad to have another ghost around, someone who's also been hunted and experimented on by the government.

Latter when there's a threat to the Galaxy of a beast from the infinite realms and JLD is saying they'll have to summon the Ghost King to deal with the issue. Tim says "No need" and picks up his phone.

Bart in the background "We're calling Danny? Oh this is so crash."

Tim hits the contact that says 'Dead boi 2.0 💀' and says "Hey Danny, we got an issue from your realms popping up, mind helping?" And hangs up

A portal rips into the area they're at? (I'd say the Watchtower) and out steps this vaguely Eldritch teenager with a crown on his head and Starbucks for all of Young Just Us

Clockwork loves the shenanigans they get up to, so he popped Danny back in time by 30 minutes to go get the coffee.

Entrances are super important, Tim learnt that from B and passed it on.

Do we all agree that Eldritch!Phantom also wears sunglasses? You know for the effect...

Why do I also see him eating a lollipop at the same time?

Seriously I have the image right before my eyes...

It's an ecto-pop. It was a lollipop, but then it got left in the kitchen for too long at Fentonworks.

It's the treat that bites you back ;)

Even better! He takes it out of his mouth while talking and gesticulating with it and it becomes aggressive...

He doesn't even have to look too eldritch, the Justice League is already veeeery concerned

This wouldn't let me go, so I had to try and write it.

Special thanks to @mokulule for giving the worlds best advice! And to the dead on main server for encouriging me.

Also on Ao3 in case you want to keep track, because there might be coming more.

This is great!

Time limits and being late for dinner

Danny, pinned down by gunfire on top of a wounded red hood who caught him in his territory and chased him into a rivals warehouse:

"Hey hood, soo... hypothetically, if I was to remove your helmet how long is the detonation trigger?"

Jason starting to lose conciousness and slur from blood loss:

"Like half a second after it triggers, it'll blow before you can clear my head, why?"

"Cool, that gives me half a second to see why my sister is obsessed with your ugly ass!"

"What? Wait... who's your sis-"

*grabs Jason's head by the helmet and phases it straight off and through his body using the momentum to throw it towards a group of shooters in a single move*

[There's a loud bang and the shooters duck for cover as two go down screaming from the shrapnel]

"-ter... hey! How'd you do that?"

"Ugh, I was right, you remind me of Johnnie. Oh well, c'mon man, well be late. Not something you want to experience when jazz is waiting"

"Jazz... Wait! Are you kidding me, the bookworm Jazz, is your sister?"

Danny braced his arms across hoods chest under the arms like they were floating in water and leaned backwards, red hood and himself suddenly unburdened by gravity slid through the wall covering their backs and disappeared from sight (if not sound as Jason dazedly kept commenting on the cute girl he'd mistaken for babs and if she actually liked him back)

They were late, jazz was definately gonna be mad!

Justice League identity reveal where they don’t know who Batman is and one day a bunch of them walk in on him just casually eating yogurt in the cafeteria with his cowl off. A bunch of them recognize him, a couple don’t, and they’re all shocked.

Turns out Batman didn’t realize none of them knew who he was, since it had taken him all of ten minutes and three google searches to put everyone’s secret identities together and he just assumed they had all figured it out by this point. Or maybe he had meant to tell them and then just forgotten. Either way, he regularly interacts with half of them outside of hero stuff and hasn’t bothered with the whole separate persona thing with them in years. Shouldn’t they really have figured this out by now? So what if he forgot? This is clearly on them.

Not that hidden tag tho 😂

Reasons why the rest of the JL believes Batman and all of his children are metas/cryptids

-Weirdly good instincts

-They only see the bat and kids at night

-Hasn’t died

-If they have died, they came back within the year

-The JL has seen all of them at one point or another stay up for 96 hours straight and act semi-normally

-One time Batman was stabbed and started bleeding green(it was slime Bruce packed for kids to play with if they were at a crime scene)

-Red Robin didn’t cry while watching A Dogs Purpose for Young Justice’s movie night(he did, the mask hid his tears)

-They all know an absurd amount of Golf facts

-Somehow none of them age

-All of them are friends with a super

Wonder Women has the list and they update it after every mission.

Poor Bruce thought Duke was going to tell him something else and just wanted to be supportive :(

Awww my Bruce 😂💕

Au where Jason Todd is sacrificed to the King of the Infinite Realms and, upon realizing Danny isnt actually interested in human sacrifice nonsense, immediately shoots his shot

Like this man has been reading romance novels for as long as he can remember and he absolutely refuses to let this set up go to waste. He has a strange new world, a kind but powerful king, a castle, and big ass fucking library right there.

Too bad his family didn’t get the memo and reverse summoned him back too early.

———

Jason: *finally seduced Danny and is about to initiate the “frantic sex after weeks of pining” portion of the plot*

Jason: *is summoned back*

Jason: *has hickies all over his neck, claw marks down his back, unzipped pants, and no belt*

Jason: …

Jason: I hate all of you, you cockblocking motherfuckers. I had him right there! I could have been his husband. HUSBAND!!!!!

Bruce:

Tim:

Dick: …looks like you’ve been having a better few weeks than we have.

Damian: Father, I believe this is sufficient proof for removing Todd from the family.

Jason: IF YOU FUCKING WAITED I COULD HAVE HAD A DIFFERENT ONE

Tim: sorry that we worried about you being at the mercy of an all powerful ruler of the dead???

Jason: *sighs with heart eyes* god I fucking wish. His eyes are so pretty when he’s angry 💕

Ok, but then when Jason has a moment to calm down, he realizes this is just further plot development

Sure, he didn't really want a speration/reverse kidnapping arc, but hey, reunions are some of his favourite moments.

Cue him just hamming it up because he wants his future husband to sweep him away. No, he's not exaggerating Dick, Danny could and would pick him up and carry him off! He has a whole manor to work with, let him live his dramatic love interest dreams. Plus getting on thier nerves is great payback.

Bruce: Jason please stop sneaking around to try and sacrifice yourself again in the manor.

Jason: And let you keep me here, away from my beloved?! Never!

Bruce: We're trying to make contact again -

Jason: Every moment that passes is a moment too long to be separated from my love.

Bruce:

Jason: *continues to set up his sacrifice circle*

Bruce:

Tim: Just ignore him.

Oh my goodness he totally would as a book lover 😂

Danny finds out about Batmans contingency plans and is 100% on board and supports it.

The rest of the JL is confused

"Didn't I tell you about the alternate timeline where everyone I loved died and I went on a murder spree? Because that happened. And also I've been mind controlled before, not fun. He needs plans to take me, us down."

The rest of the JL finds that kinda depressing.

twilight au except lance is both bella and jacob

Danny's found a way to dodge GIW trackers, as well as his parents. Their equipment hunts ghosts, ghosts run on emotion; so as long as he keeps his under a tight lid and doesn't feel anything ever, they won't be able to track him.

It works!

He's able to run from them, and goes as far as New Jersey. The plan was to stow away on a ship, and go to literally any country that wasn't America. He goes to Gotham, which hosts the one harbor he knows where no one will ask any questions.

But because of how weird he acted (completely emotionless during a Joker attack), he was fingered by police immediately.

He's handed over to CPP. CPP doesn't know what to do with a teen literally so traumatized that they don't show any emotion at all, ever. He keeps just...walking out of his placements. Just leaves without a sound.

Luckily, he's always caught, due to those placement houses having quiet alarms and him refusing to run.

They call the one foster parent they know who does.

Bruce Wayne takes in the strange, nameless kid who refuses to talk.

On paper, they gave him the filler name of 'John Doe', for lack of anything better to do.

Bruce does everything he can to make the newest arrival feel at home. Damian, for as territorial as he is, actually breaks out of his shell sooner than expected just to try to get the new kid to speak. To emote. To do something. Duke tries the open approach, then tries the 'no one will ever know, everyone thinks I'm an innocent goody-two-shoes' approach. Nada.

Tim even tries to trick him into talking, but nothing works.

Enter Dick; Dick heard about Bruce's new ward, about the situation, and decided to see if he could get the kid to open up.

Danny though. Danny's in trouble.

The Wayne Manor is weirdly secure, and he can't just walk away like he did his other placements. He can't use ghost powers or the GIW and his parents will immediately know where he is.

He really, really wants to take Bruce up on his offer and just spend the day relaxing. Respond to Damian's attempts to provoke him. Overshare about space facts with Tim.

But most of all, he really, desperately wants to get in a Pun Competition with Dick. He wants to laugh at Dick's jokes, and learn coolass gymnastic tricks!

But he can't!

If he relaxes with Bruce, he'll be content, which is an emotion. If he argues with Damian, he'll get annoyed, which is an emotion. If he sneaks out with Duke and breaks the rules, he'll get happy, which, again, emotion. If he overshares with Tim, he'll get excited, which is, yet again, an emotion!

The worst sin of all, he can't even show proper appreciation of the food the Butler keeps making him!

And now there's even more people coming over!

There's a quiet girl who keeps reading his body language and trying to get him to dance ballet, a blonde girl who keeps trying to kidnap him to take him to BatBurger, a guy with a stripe of white who wants to take him to a shooting range, and it just...he really, really wants to!

He wants to do all these cool things with them!

But he fucking can't!

Jaime: I think it’s awesome that Bruce took you in. Adoption is one of the kindest and intentional acts of love there is.

Jason: Oh, he didn’t adopt me. I tried to rob him, hit him with a wrench, insult him, then he grabbed my hoodie and fed me bat burgers till I passed out.

Jaime: …Oh.

Tim: Yeah, I pretty much blackmailed my way into the family at first, but make no mistake; if Bruce didn’t want me here, he’d let me know. Just ask Dick.

Dick: Oh look, Tim inserting himself into a situation where he’s absolutely not relevant! Noticed my lack of surprise?

Damian: You people are utterly pathetic and making a mockery out of our family name. It’s a blessing I’m the only one who carries it.

Jaime: O-Oh, you’re a bio kid, Dami?

Damian: Ha! No. Baba gifts me a pony every month. I wasn’t planned, evidently.

Damian waking up after a week long coma and Bruce is running a test on him

Bruce pointing to Tim: remember his name Damian

Damian: …. #### head 3

Tim:shit head 3?

Bruce:Damian no swearing

Bruce pointing at dick: ok now him

Damian: happy #####

Dick: happy bicth ?!

Bruce: Damian no swearing

Bruce now pointing on Jason what about him

Damian: favorite crowbar

Jason: HAH love this kid

I love Jason and Damian’s dynamic 💕

Thinking about the JL finding out that Bruce has contingency plans for all of his kids and being horrified. But when the League asks them about it, all the kids are like “yeah! we actually all have them for each other just in case” and move on like it’s perfectly normal to have three different ways to take out your brother on hand (for emergencies).

it only takes being sucker punched in the face once by a high-on-fear-gas sibling to start stocking the sedatives and looking at everyone around you with 'what do i have to do to take you down as quickly and painlessly as possible' glasses

this is not actually out of concern, it's because if you get punched by a sibling while they are high on the flavour of the week YOU get in trouble for punching them back (you were in your right mind! breaking his nose was uncalled for! -Batman) and all of the batkids are bitter about it

We love the bros beings bros😌

jason: what do you mean i’m too old for the easter bunny??

bruce: jason, and i cannot stress this enough, you’re a 22 year old crime lord who murders people on the regular

jason: okay? where are my colorful fucking eggs?
