finally, a team 7 to complete the set!
Me: *Looks around nervously* NEKOMARU! *Runs away*
He just sounds, acts and looks like a preteen!? His classmates don't really treat him as anything more than that. He's like his class's collective son, because he isn't a real Ultimate, and is also basically a child. Kyoko's relationship with him is less like a balanced romance, and is more unbalanced, but not in a toxic way, but instead, more like a mother & son dynamic.
So. Should he be treated like a preteen? Should I engage with him as if he was 12 years old? This shouldn't be hard since you seem so certain. Should I treat him like he's 12, is it immoral to do anything but treat him like he's 12?
Is he a preteen or not anon this shouldn't be hard
I like to think that they also like watching MLP because bright small horses saving the day and singing songs makes their undead heart happy.
Someone walks in one day to talk to Danny who is surrounded by talons and he's just like "Give me a minute," turns on the tv and the mlp theme song comes on catching every talon's attention. They gather around and watch it.
"Okay." Danny slowly laid the already cold body back onto the table, ready to slide back it into the refuge of cold storage. "Okay. Dead guy. Stay there."
The body didn't move.
"Fantastic. Now. Hang out while I pour the embalming fluid into the pump, alright? It should only be a minute."
And it usually did; working in a funeral home wasn't extremely glamorous, but it paid the bills, and Danny had already been used to the rhyme and rhythm of negotiating death with the public by the time he sent in his mortuary school application. It had been a transition that made sense. And in the end, the degree had only cost him a few extra years post-graduation and a little dig into student loans, and now Danny had a stable 12-8 job and health insurance valid in the state of new jersey.
Today, though, the pump had that decided enough was enough. With a bang and a boom, the pump spat out a cloud of smoke and clunked uncomfortably.
The dead body sat up.
Danny scrambled over to push it back down. "No. We talked about this. Dead people don't move. If you want to stay here and have me put you back together all the time, you have to stay put. Got it?"
Whatever the weird gold-eye corpses were on in Gotham, they at least listened to him on occasion. They weren't ghosts, per se— they never pinged on any of the ghost detection devices Mom and Dad had packed in his going-away-to-college bag— but they were, despite being occasionally animate, perfectly deceased.
Weird. Danny had never gotten used to it. Still, they came in droves, too eager to sit on the top of the basement stairwell and lurk in the corners and stare endlessly at them with their weird, avian eyes, and sometimes they heralded the arrival similarly weird-ass bodies that had lost their heads or their arms or their limbs through the more conventional channels.
"I'm losing too much thread to all y'all coming in all the time," Danny complained to the dead body, who, at the moment, was the only person present to blame. "Stop getting your limbs cut off. This stuff is expensive, you know. It's a specialty order."
The body didn't even have the courtesy to blink. Rude.
"At least let them bury you this time. Every time one of you darts off when my back's turned, my boss thinks I'm stealing corpses. My coworkers think I'm building my own Frankenstein or something."
The corpse neither verbalized nor blinked, but Danny hadn't expected it to; with a sigh, he rolled the corpse back into cold storage, locked its little door (not that locking it in had ever stopped it) and called it quits for the night.
It's not like anyone was paying him for the extra hours anyway.
I genuinely thought for a hot minute the cultist were trying to set up a date for Danny, like no warning or nothing, just grab these two boys and shove 'em in a room together.
...What if it worked?
Danny's there internally freaking out because Pariah decided if his new heir wasn't going to put himself out there he might aswell do it for him and Kon is wondering why this pretty boy is turning away from him and hiding his face.
Also, it's the strangest kidnapping Kon's ever heard of.
The cultists have locked them in a room with pizza, the latest video game consoles, the most comfy bed Kon's ever sat on, the fastest wifi he's ever seen outside of something Rob made, and a button for them to request like, anything.
And Kon tested it.
He asked for a puppy.
The cultists literally handed him one less the seven minutes later.
The whole reason Kon hasn't burst out is because he's curious.
He wants to know what the hell is going on.
"So..." he turns to look at the civilian, who was clearly the actual target.
The civilian doesn't move from where he's laying on the ground and glaring at the ceiling.
"Why?" Kon asks, using one hand to motion to the room as the other one gives belly rubs to KingKon, the newly named puppy.
"Because certain assholes don't know how to take no for an answer."
Oh, well if it's a creep creeping on a teenager then Kon isn't sticking around.
"Do you mind watching my new puppy while I go beat them up? What's their name?"
The civilian turns his head to look very dubiously at Kon. Which. Rude.
Kon could beat up a creep.
Kon beats up creeps all the time.
"Pariah Dark, Tyrant of the Dead."
Okay that's a little bit of a tall order.
"Why does Pariah Dark want a teenager?"
"Because I beat him up and now he wants to adopt me, so he keeps trying to win me over."
Oh! Okay. Totally different situation.
Still weird though.
Once she confirms it's him they'd meet up whenever they can in Amity (because she has been there before and Amity Park recognizes her) along with auntie Jazz and cousin Dani.
Had an idea for dpxdc fandom again 🤭. By the way nobody knows about Amity Park, the town just sorta appeared one day to outsiders.

"I'm sorry can you say that again."
The reporters mic was up to his face and the cameras were rolling, who was Danny to stop the direction this was going now?
"Yeah so like I accidentally time travelled to the past and met some aliens. We got along really well if you know what I mean."
"Sir are you admiting that you travelled back in time and had sex with aliens?"
"Yup! I believe they were called kyrptonians or something, I even held their baby, he was the cutest thing ever. I believe his name was Kal-El."
"...Kryptonian as in the same species as Superman."
"Superwho?"
hit 3k on twitter so im bringing these here too!!!
The Justice League and Young Justice were too late, the summoning had been completed and whatever creature the cult had chosen to wreck havoc on earth was coming out of an ominous green portal.
The head popped out. It looked as if a piece of space was trying to imitate a human head but the constant movement made it appear as if it was burning and flowing underwater at the same time. A halo made up of floating pieces of ice gathered behind its head, glowing and rearranging itself to look like a wheel with never ending details. To top it all of a sharp crown the deepest black anyone has seen sat ontop of its head, embedded with five beautiful blue jewels. However, the longer anyone stared at them the more the jewels started to look like eyes.
The head turned towards the cult members, freezing them in a blink of an eye, the attack too fast for them to comprehend. It then set its sights on them, scanning the heroes before a giant hand?...Claw?... Some weird mixture of both reached out towards them with insane speed.
"SUPERBOY!"
Someone shouted but it was too late, the creature already had him in its grasp and bring him up to its face and–...actually, it doesn't seem to be harming him at all, much to everyone's confusion. Furthermore it is as if it was...lovingly nuzzling him?
Superboy looked red in the face and rather embarassed?
"Mommm, stop, you're embarassing me infront of my team."
"MOM?!"
[Part 2 Here]
Alfred finds it very gratifying, as all grandparents do, to feed the new child with a literal black hole of a stomach
The memes used:
There was a dp x dc fic I read months (or years) ago and I need help finding it.
In this fic Danny was an adult (I think around the same age as Dick) and while walking around a graveyard he hears someone desperately trying to get out of their grave and goes to help. After helping the person, which turns out to be Jason Todd, Danny helps him back to the manor where he reunites with Alfred, then Bruce and eventually Dick (although Dick was a little jealous of him at first).
It would soothe my brain if anybody out there knows the fic and has a link or title they can give, please.
Edit: Nvm yall, I found it!
Here it is:
Is this a safe place to post lookism prompts? I haven't seen a lot and I was just wondering because I have some ideas.
I haven't seen much works besides the reader x *insert character* stuff on here.
Due to issues with Jack’s fertility, the Fenton kids were both conceived using donor sperm. The donor they ended up receiving wasn’t anyone special; just a random chemical engineer from Gotham City by the name of Jack Napier
And perhaps things could have ended there. Perhaps in another reality, they did, and Danny never had to pay more than a passing thought to his genetic father.
But in this world, Jack Napier faced one extraordinarily bad day, and it broke him. All he could do in response was laugh at the utter meaningless of it all. And by the time his cackles subsided, the man he had once been was dead. In his place, only the Joker remained.
Yet despite how suddenly everything changed, neither of them knew the truth of things right away. The Joker had never even known he had a son, since the service didn’t inform people if their donations were used. And though Danny had known Napier’s name, he had no reason to pay enough attention to the man to notice his disappearance.
That ignorance couldn’t last forever, though.
All it took was a few medical tests from Danny before the automated database systems made the connection.
And that certainly didn’t go unnoticed by those in Gotham.
It looks like it’s time for Uncle J to pay his kid a surprise visit! Ooh, maybe he could break out the ol’ electroshock kit and bring back Joker Jr too, make it a proper family reunion!
