Bruce Calls Constantine For A Second Opinion

Bruce calls Constantine for a second opinion

Constantine chokes on his cigarette and goes on “vacation” in an alternate dimension

He discusses the matter with Wonder Woman and Superman (his friends, for support) and Diana is overjoyed to hear that the “legendary guardian” survives

She then congratulates Bruce for becoming royalty

And then, after seeing his confusion, refuses to elaborate (the Great One will tell you in his own time)

Bruce would very much like to learn more about this,, baby eldritch abomination? Self proclaimed “ghost”? Somehow Royal??,, Being he has adopted.

He suspects that this might be more difficult than anticipated

This is a follow-up/one-shot based on the fic I wrote here, which was based on the prompt by @ghostreblogging

I'm really having fun with Big Brother Danny AU~ big thanks to everyone taking the time to read it!

Not So Normal

Daniel Fenton-Wayne had been with the family for a while now. To say that he was odd would be an injustice because he wasn't really. At least, not compared to the rest of the costume wearing vigilante family. Danny was a civilian, albeit a strange one. Danny and Damian were close in age, and everyone could tell that Danny wanted to be a good big brother; he'd never had the chance to before. The strangeness came in when Damian brandished his many weapons toward Danny, and he... caught him mid launch. Just snatched the little bird out of the air for a hug. Damian had thought he was putting up a fight, but it was clear that Danny wasn't struggling. He seemed so casually unbothered by Damian's behavior, but he was normal, ya know?

Damian sneers and waves his fork menacingly at Danny during dinner?

"He's fine! He's like, what, 10 years old?"

Damian growled that he was clearly 12 and threw himself over the table at him.

Damian threatens him with his swords?

"Damian! No!"

"Nooooo! Don't discourage him! He might lose interest!" And even as the rest of the family assured him that that would be a good thing, he handed Damian the blade and asked if lessons were on the table so Damian could have a "competent sparring partner." He still tried to stab Danny after that.

As concerning as it always was when Damian tried to stab someone, they were all relieved that Daniel seemed to be able to handle the demon brat better than most. Eventually the baby bird would warm up to him and stop stabbing him so often, but until then, Danny could handle himself.

~~~~○•○•○~~~~

Let it be known that Damian did not have a favorite brother! They were all imbeciles with poor taste in humor and mediocre fighting skills. That being said, Danny did have a leg up over the others for inquiring about sword lessons to improve his fighting prowess, even if he was already surprisingly adequate for a civilian. Well, that and other things that Danny had admitted only to him in the months he'd been with the family. It was strange being the one he confided in, but he felt a sort of pride that, even though he'd tried to stab Daniel, he was still the one he went to when he needed to talk about stuff he hadn't told the others. So perhaps it wasn't that surprising that when he'd gotten in trouble, Danny was the one Damian called for.

Patrol that night had been boring and quiet. Too quiet. Way too quiet for Gotham, which meant that something bad was brewing. Batman had handed Robin off to Nightwing for the night while he poured over all the reports and data from the last few weeks to figure out what the rogues of Gotham could have planned. Nightwing was ashamed to say that the Joker had gotten the jump on them. He'd tied the two up, leaving their comms on so the rest of the bats could hear all of the terrible things Joker had planned for them. He included terrible reminders of how he'd murdered Jason and how he couldn't wait to pluck the wings from Batman's other birdies. Damian wanted to rip his throat out for that, but he was in no shape to fight. His family was in danger, so he called out to the only other person he trusted.

"DANIEL!" Damian screamed long and loud for his brother, the plea surging forth from deep in his chest. Dick looked horror stricken that his baby brother had called out for the one member of the family that wasn't a vigilante, painting a huge target on his back. But even as he could hear the commotion coming through the comms and see the panicked look on Dick's face, he called for Danny again. His brother would help. He would come!

The room's temperature dropped in an instant, their panting, panicked breaths fogging the air while the lights flickered. The Joker paused in his maniacal laughter to observe the Lazarus green pool forming on the ground between him and the birds. Frost and ice cracked through the concrete of the warehouse as a head of white hair with a crown of crystalline ice rose through the small pit and the Joker's veins flooded with dread at the too wide, too sharp smile on the thing's face.

"Don't worry, I'm here. You're safe," he cooed comfortingly back to Damian, his voice an otherworldly echo in the large space. "But you?" He gestured to the Joker with claw-like fingers. "Well, let's just say, I've been d̵͔̦̩̒̒̊ẙ̴̧͓͕̺ḯ̸͖̪͔n̶͉͛g̵̻̾͒͜ to get my hands on you."

It happened so fast that no one really knew if the Joker screamed or not. In one moment, the boy's body had morphed into a cloud of inky black scattered with what looked like honest to God stars that smothered the Joker, and in the next, he was gone. The being who, upon closer inspection, definitely looked like Danny if he had white hair and green eyes and was a literal Eldritch creature, was untying them with care.

"Danny?" Dick questioned. He acknowledged him with a quick nod before turning back to Damian, the one who had called.

"You came," the youngest mumbled.

"You called," Danny answered with a soft smile. "Did you think that I wouldn't?"

"No. I knew that you would. You're not incompetent like the others."

"You guys heard that, right? That was definitely a compliment!"

Damian huffed but sagged in relief once he and Dick were both untied.

"You- you're-" Dick stumbled over his words in astonishment. "Danny, you're a meta?"

"Technically, it's a medical condition, but details," he responded, waving off the rest of the question with a cheeky smile.

In Nightwing's ear Bruce asked to speak with Danny. He removed the earpiece and tapped Danny's arm with it, gesturing to his ear. The "meta" slid it on just in time to hear his adoptive father shout.

"We will be talking about this as soon as everyone gets home safe, am I understood!"

"Loud and clear, boss man!"

"Let it be known that I knew something was weird about Danny!" He heard Jason exclaim. "No offense man."

"None taken, my Revenant sibling mine."

"Where did the Joker even go?" Someone over the comms asked. Danny thought it was Steph.

"I sent him to clown jail. I hate clowns. I've literally never met one that hasn't tried to kill me or my family."

Upon learning that the Joker wasn't the first homicidal clown that their, before now, seemingly normal brother had met, the comms erupted into chaos. Danny tossed the earpiece back to Nightwing before whisking them away back to the cave under the manor. He had a lot of explaining to do.

dp x dc dc x dp eventually dcxdp Constantine comes back he visits for long enough to chuck a box at Danny’s head yelling ‘Tribute!’ and then nopes right back out of the dimension. danny: ‘about time’ ‘do you know how many overdue taxes the man has??’ Bruce does not know Bruce would like his newest son to explain things Danny Does Not Understand why Bruce is confused his explanations don’t help

Don’t panic but I can’t find a pulse

Danny had plans okay? He had plans!?

He was going to meet with Lady Gotham and ask her permission for him to stay in Gotham before he excepted the acceptance letter to Gotham University. She couldn’t exactly say no due to him being of higher power in the Ghost Court but it would be rude of him to not ask. So that was the plan and it was a simple one that shouldn’t have gotten this screwed up.

Lady Gotham seemed to have a preference for rooftops and Danny wasn’t about to object to meeting her on one, him being in her domain and all. After she tells him it’s okay for him to chill in her city she disappeared quickly. When meeting with a domain or lair owner you get tunnel vision so you can only focus on the owner. Apparently it was a type of defense mechanism. Having home field advantage and all that jazz.

That being said Danny forgot he was on the edge of the roof facing the drop. He was already startled by coming back to himself when he heard someone softly land a few feet behind him. Turning around quickly he lost his footing on the slippery edge and decided this was embarrassing enough so he let gravity take hold and he fell.

He’s been thrown into enough building and has broken enough concrete with his back to know this fall won’t hurt him. When he hit the ground it felt more like he jumped on a hard bed. Not a pleasant feeling but it also doesn’t hurt. Danny just wasn’t expecting the person, who he now sees is Red Robin, who startled him to jump after him.

Laying there in a dirty alleyway after falling from a five story building isn’t his best move but it’s too late now. He laid still hopping Red Robin won’t fully notice him but of course he can never get what he wants.

Red Robin kneels down next to him and feels for a pulse Danny knows won’t be there. Red Robin says something he can’t quite catch into what he assumes is a com and then let’s out a quiet “shit” shaking his head. Danny opens his eyes and looks at him saying, “watch your language.”

He got a terrified screech in response.

DCxDP: GIW and a Royal Faux-pas

Alt idea for : A Royal mistake

A good collection of the kids from Amity park are ecto-contaminated to the point of being almost halfas and most of them have powers because of it. The Weirdo trio + Val and Wes as well as the A Listers are the worst off.

All of them are aware that Danny is Phantom and are hiding him from his parents and the GIW as much as possible. And have grown closer due to it. And have all been given positions by Phantom in his "court"

Eventually due to the development of powers all of them + Jazz are carted off by the GIW for experiments and Dani/Ellie as the unknown variable is left to mount rescue efforts on her own.

She ends up approaching the Justice League as Princess Danielle Phantom of the Infinite Realms and threatens earth with war if her family is not returned to her.

The Justice League is shocked and concerned.

Imagine Ellie appearing in full royal regalia infront of a JL meeting. She floats there for several seconds not saying anything until Superman steps forward

"Who are you and what is your meaning for being here?" She looks at him cooly before turning to Captain Marvel

"The United States of America has declared War against the Infinite Realms with the Capture of the majority of the royal family and the court of the dead." Billy sucks in a breath and chokes on it

"What??!!" She flinches back

"The Government body known as the GIW has captured King Phantom, Pharaoh Dullman, Lordess Nightshade, Draconess Paulina, The Shooting Star, Red Huntress, and Queen Mother Jasmine of the Infinite Realms as well as several other members of the court for the purpose of experimentation. If they are not returned within the next several days then I, the standing child of King Phantom will be required to declare war for crimes against my people and my family." The girls voice trembled as she spoke. It was Batman who stepped forward

"Your Highness," he waited for her confirmation before continuing, "May we inquire more into the issue before us." She floats down to stand on the floor and she looks so much smaller

"You may." She grants

"When did the issues begin between your realm and the American government?" Wonder woman was the one to question

"They began 4 years ago when two mad scientists successfully punched a hole in the barrier between our world and yours. Later laws were put into effect that stated that Any being who produces, requires, or is made up of ectoplasm is non-sentient and is to be handed over to the GIW for experimentation and extermination." An audible yikes is heard from Green lantern from the back of the room.

"Why has this not come to our attention before now?"

"I'm not sure maybe it's because every single call Amity Park has made to you People has been declined or ignored." The Princess got progressively louder as she went on

The conversation continued until it was determined that rescuing the other members of the royal family was their only option to avoid all out war.

"One last question your Highness." She raised a brow

"You obviously have an army that could have attacked the government to rescue your family. Why give us a chance?"

"I'm not supposed to declare war without the King since I'm only 18 and we would prefer to not do more damage to the living world."

"18 years? You don't look that old do your people age at a different rate?" She flushed green

"Yes we age differently but you misunderstood. I'm only 18 months old. Father says I'm the equivalent of a human 8 year old though." The silence left behind was deafening. This child thought they were a last resort and they were willing to make this GIW regret

John Constantine: *whimpers*

The Batfam: Uh, should we… do something about this??

Constantine: *casts a spell. Ineffectively. Whimpers again.*

Damian: Tt. I have already contacted Alfred to prepare an enclosure.

Constantine, literally throwing the book at Little Baby Man, nothing sticking: *visible crisis* This isn’t a great sign.

The Batfam, watching this foot long creature cause mass property damage, cultists screaming and bleeding: Can we do something else?

Constantine: Alright I’m out. Call me if you make it mad and I might be able to divert it from destroying the universe. Might.

The Batfam: *panic and concern*

DP Prompt #4

A group of cultists have procured all that is neccessary to bring forth their lord, the real lord, the Undying Ruler of All Things Dead, King of The Infinite Realms, so he shall bring forth a new future of fear and destruction. They will have a world anew, remade in their deity's image.

"Rise!" screams their illustrious leader. "Rise, oh Great One!"

The summoning circle glows an unearthly green, to the point it becomes blinding. Black smoke rises behind the light, then a figure starts to be seen through the fog. He has arrived.

The smoke clears, and the Cult of Pariah the Dark get a full view of the being they have summoned.

They see a... small... worm creature...?

Oh those poor, poor fools. They know not of the dangers they have unleashed. They stand, unwittingly staring at the harbringer of their demise, for they have not summoned Pariah Dark, oh no, no, no, no, no, no. That entity, despite his destructive nature, can be reasoned with. The being they summoned cannot.

The Little Baby Man stares back, a smirk from ear to ear and eyes wide. He lounges at them.

They never stood a chance.

Ok ok but. This person *cough Ra’s cough* is not an idiot. They decide to test this so-called “immortality” by crushing the snail.

Well, it.. doesn’t perish… but it certainly dies, and now there’s a ghost snail inching through the air towards him and nothing will stop it.

And so Danny gets kidnapped by this frootloop another time, except now it’s as Fenton, and this guy wants him to contain the snail.

…UNFORTUNATE

Danny gets summoned by [Insert DC character here] and they ask for immortality. And while Danny might look like a giant regal ancient-looking king with a cape made of the fabric of reality and a body made of space, he is still a teenager, so he accepts.

[Insert DC character here] is about to offer there soul or firstborn child, but Danny stops them and instead picks up a random snail, whispers some ancient, unbreakable magic on the snail, and tells [Insert DC character here] that the snail is immortal, always knows where they are, will always follow the quickest past to you, and if it touches them, they will instantly die. Danny puts the snail on the ground and vanishes, leaving them to there fate.

this is a glorious crack fic idea. I. I am in awe

anyway…. I’m CACKLING zombie dpxdc oh it’s definitely Ra’s Danny: I did not think this through also Danny: welp I guess I’m teaching the snail duplication it’s ‘divine punishment’ for the indignity of kIDnAPPING him TWICE but first he needs to rescue this… Halfa-adjacent Liminal Murder Man?? and the Baby Assassin the one who’s followed by the ghosts of murdered pets Danny is Not letting that stand return to this
