Like he somehow ends up with a non-supernatural DC family, be it the Kent's or the Batfam, and kind of just....is vaguely unsettling at first.
He stares into dark corners laughs at jokes only he hears. Tells random people things no one else should know.
And, used to weird, his new family let's it slide. Then they start seeing things. His shadow is bigger than it should be. Multiple eyes appear in the dark, watching them. Whispers fill the halls at night.
It's driving some crazy as they can SWEAR that when Danny gets mad they hear the screams of the damned.
Meanwhile Danny is chilling with his bodygaurd Fright Knight and is happy to have visits from his former rogues who make sure to check in on him as he's going through a rough patch in his life and, as a young ghost, is very susceptible to drastic changes.
To look into later :p

Asks are open too! :D
I'm sorry but I can't get this image out of my head.
The JLD introducing one of their new younger members to the YJ to 'hopefully socialize the feral shit more' as Constantine put it.
And Cassie spends most of the meeting hitting her teammates with a rolled up newspaper cause they keep drooling over phantom. *Don't you horndogs dare scare a possibly normal teammate away because you are attracted to Dangerous Vibes!*
Though with Tim it's more No you can't Study Him, RR! I don't care if it'd because his biology is a mystery! *smacks with newspaper of justice* Bad RR!
She thought it was Kon and Tim She had to worry about.
No it's Bart. And apparently Danger Ghost Twink and Danger Speed Twink really vibe together.
I want to read more fics that address his time in Robin training with Bruce and Dick, Jason, and/or Damian find out.
Like, they're all sitting around talking about fun or silly things that happened in training or on patrol with Batman. And Tim is just doing his thing, reminiscing about pictures he took of Dick’s and Jason's Robin, wondering if he could take time off somewhere to get some of Damian's Robin when the others get his attention and ask about funny stories from his time as Robin. He blanks, because nothing with Batman was fun, that was why he was Robin. So he says Lady Shiva getting him ice cream once and leaves.
Or they're going over protocols for Robin to follow with Damian and Tim is just sitting there confused, because it's all stuff he got in trouble for with Batman. And when Dick or Jason tell him that “you can jump in anytime, baby bird”, Tim gets up, leaves, and returns with a surprisingly worn binder he puts down.
Then he opens it, flips to a point about a third of the way through, and turns it to face them. He points at a chart and says, “I made this when the results of your advice weren't what you said they'd be. I didn't know you were supposed to wait 3 days after fear gas exposure to go back out. Bruce didn't wait and if I didn't follow, petty thieves ended up in the ER.”Dick is horrified, Jason and Damian confused. Tim continues. “This binder has the protocols and methods I followed as Robin. I wasn't Robin to contrast Batman's shadow. I was Robin to remind Batman of his morals. I have no advice to offer Damian that is relevant to his Robin. You were offered Robin, one way or another. I had to take Robin before Batman did something he'd regret.”
I’m so fucki tired it isn’t even funny lmao. It’s 65F outside but the AC’s on and it’s barely cold enough for me to drink without overheating :)
And I promise you. No one will find your body… or maybe they’ll never STOP finding you. Depends on how much you annoy me.
Room full of Gotham rogues, tim enters it holding a gun a shoots a few bullets in the air to get everyone's attention
Tim: Alright, listen up, I do not want to be holding this gun, and that has absolutely nothing to do with the no kill rule and everything to do with that one time I met a future version of myself who was a mob boss who ran all of Gotham and was really into the whole shooting people thing so now any time I pick up a gun I'm like Is this it? Is this the pipeline? Is this how gun batman is created? THAT BEING SAID talk shit, get shot, understood?
Lmao valid
He's really sick.
Based on this hard-hitting scene in Spy Kids 2
God I love that movie.
saving for when ao3 returns.
“Alpha Strike, report to Professor Otis’ office immediately, I repeat, report to Otis’ office immediately!”
The PA system interrupted the overall good day that Cory (and by extension the rest of the gang, no one really liked Otis)
“I just started eating,” Scott sighed, looking down.
“Yeah, I need to finish third lunch!” Cory pouted.
“Doesn’t matter now, let’s head off everyone,” Triana said as she left the common room, the rest of the team trailed behind her as they all made their way to Otis’ office.
“This is gonna suck…” Lara grumbled.
Alpha Strike walked into the rather bare office, grouping up directly in front of the desk where Otis was sitting behind; tapping his desk nervously and squinting at the MTF when they all entered.
“Ah, hello the six of you,” Otis breathed out. “I know we haven’t been on… the best terms recently, but I need you to put that behind you,”
“We will, sir,” Triana sighed. “Right everyone?”
The rest of Alpha Strike half-heartedly nodded, or mumbled a form of the word “yes”.
Otis nodded too. “Good, I have a personal mission for you,” Otis placed a blue key on the table.
“Is that-”
“Yes it’s SCP 860!” Otis interrupted Hooper as he began to speak. “I am asking you to explore the dimension created by the key. Take the Micro HID Gun with you,”
“Why? I thought we got everything we needed from there awhile ago,” Scott turned his head curiously.
Otis sighed roughly. “We are seeing if there is any way to stun the creature within it, no more questions. Get to it,”
Cory raised his hand. “But-”
“Get to it!”
Cory sighed, Alpha Strike left the office as quickly as they had entered.
---
“Why is he so friggin’ mean…” Cory pouted, Hooper patted him on the back a little.
“Don’t feel too bad, he’s a dick to most’a us,” The Corporal reassured.
“He’s also sending us on a suicide mission,” Nikole said. “There’s that,”
Triana looked around her crew. “Yeah, this mission into 860-1 seems sketchy at best, and an assassination attempt at worse,”
“Eh, we’ll get through it,” Scott shrugged. “They actually put in the suggestions I made for the Micro HID Thingy, so it should be actually stable this time,”
“Hopefully, you’re the only guy who’s fun around here,” Nikole chuckled as she hit him on the back.
Cory pouted harder. “I’m fun!”
“Fun to laugh at, yeah,” Nikole chuckled before “Ow!”
Hooper jabbed her in the side.
“Jeez, fine I get it,”
The trip to the door that 860 opened didn’t take much longer, not factoring in the still relatively short wait to get the Micro HID into Scott’s hands.
---
Every member of Alpha Strike was standing in front of the door. Lara was sitting over a laptop.
“Alright, let’s head on in, get this over with,” Triana said as she put the key in the hole, opening the door. She lead each members of her team into the door ending with her-
“Hey, Tri,”
“Yeah honey?” Triana turned around to look at Lara.
The blue haired woman’s face scrunched into one of concern. “Stay safe in there, I know someone who was apart of the initial containment for this thing and it wasn’t pretty,”
“I will, Lara,” Triana nodded. “I love you,”
“Love you too, Tri,”
---
The team walked on into a large, dense forest. They found themselves in a large, dense forest with trees a hundred times taller than them. They found themselves on a dirt path stretching out in front of them.
“Alright, getting out of here shouldn’t be too hard,” Lara said. “Just move forward until you find another door,”
“Thanks Bluejay,” Triana said. “You heard her, let’s get moving, be on high alert so we don’t get jumped,”
“Yes ma’am!” Scott said as he readied the large gun in his hand.
Cory shivered and counted the twigs on the floor as the team began to move through the dark forest. The whole ordeal reminded him of the shadow guy incident, Micro HID that may or may not work this time included.
The team continued to walk through the path until they got to a fork in the roads.
Triana tapped her earpiece. “We’re at a crossroads, Bluejay, left or-”
“Right,” Lara affirmed. “This someone went right and escaped, so you probably will too,”
“Thanks,” Triana smiled. “You heard her, let’s go right,”
“Roger that!” Hooper affirmed.
“No, seriously who is Roger?”
The team quickly turned around to stare judgmentally at Cory, then turned around just as quickly to walk on the left path. The cobblestones were starting to make the anxious camera faced man’s feet hurt.
“Jeez, when’s this gonna be over? I wanna go home,” Cory mumbled.
“We all do, you just need to suck it up for now- AGH!”
Triana screeched as something pounced from the trees. A big cat made of purple wood with flesh sticking out of the cracks, and glowing yellow eyes that bored into Triana’s as it began to claw at her: chest, stomach and arms.
Triana groaned in pain as she began to kick the thing, Scott began to charge up the Micro as Nikole ran over to force the thing off.
“Dude, move I’m about to-”
“Give it a minute!” Nikole yelled as hit the Skip repeatedly on the back, it began to scream in pain too as it waved a claw at the Sergeant; Nikole managed only a scratch on her upper chest.
Triana grabbed the thing’s other arm and slammed it to the floor as she kicked herself to her feet.
“SCOTT, NOW!”
“I’m doing it!”
FWEEEEEEEEEEEEE
The creature writhed and writhed, like a cat restrained in barbed wire. Triana’s hold was firm, adrenaline was to thank for that, however.
“FUCK!” Triana shouted when the thing bit her arm, the pain forced her muscular arm off of the creature who jumped into the forest just us
BZZZZT
A patch of burnt, dead grass between the two women, and the complete lack of the creature. Leaves rustled as everyone slowly calmed down from the encounter.
“Goddammit!” Triana yelled raising her hand as- “Ow!”
Rest for awhile, LT, you look pretty fucked up,” Hooper patted Triana on the back, then quickly stopped doing that cause it made Triana wince.
“What happened? What the fuck happened, is everyone okay, hello? Hello?” Lara panicked over the radio, her voice filled with shrill anxiety.
“I-I’m… fine,” Triana winced. “We need to-”
“You literally just got attacked,” Nikole winced too as she covered the scratch on her chest. “We’ll patch this up, and we’ll keep moving, but you gotta stay behind us,”
“I-I shit…” Triana trailed off. “I guess we’ll have to rest, ack up here for a bit,”
Lara could be heard breathing in and out, desperately trying to calm herself down. “Tri, Tri are you alright?”
“I just got attacked, I-I’ll be fine, honey, just breathe,” Triana reassured, her voice shaky from the bleeding that Hooper had begun to patch up using some gauze.
“Okay, okay, that’s much better alright,” Lara let out a huge breath. “I mean, you being attacked is bad, but you’re still speaking, so it’s not too bad?”
“Skip dinked ya up bad, huh?” Hooper mumbled to himself as he wrapped up the bite mark.
“Oh jeez really? I uh… shit shit shit,” Lara mumbled.
“Hoop, quit giving Lara a heart attack,” Nikole sighed as she quickly patched up her own wound. “I’ll go get blondie to unfreeze-”
“I’m fine,” Cory mumbled. “Let’s just uh… get this done as soon as possible,”
“Agreed,” Triana grimaced as she slowly got up from the floor, Hooper quickly offered his shoulder as support.
“You really alright, Cory? You look a bit shaken up is all,” Hooper asked, concern evident in his soft tone.
“Yeah, I’m just shaken up,” Cory let out a breath. “Ready to keep going,”
“That’s good,” Scott smiled as he carried the Micro. “Anyways, for some good news this thing still has another charge, we might still be able to catch this thing,”
“Alright that’s good, we’ll need a way to lure that thing out though,” Triana said. “It’s skiddish, so we’ll fuck need a way to keep it occupied,”
“Before you ask… no, I am not being bait for-”
“I’ll do it,” Nikole interrupted Cory as she raised her hand. “It’ll wanna go after me anyway, got the feeling it’s pissy with me after we showed it its place,”
Triana let out a wheezy chuckle. “Makes sense to me, let’s get to it,”
Cory breathed a sigh of relief, he (probably) wasn’t gonna get scratched by this weird cat thingy!
---
Nikole stood in the middle of a patch of the forest, everyone else was out of sight. She lightly moved the bandage around her upper chest to let the smell of blood enter the air.
“Come outta here you weird cat thing, you don’t have the balls!” Nikole mumbled after she took a swig from her flask, an extremely important part of the plan according to her.
Rrrrrrrr…
Growling, it was in the woods… lying in wait for the perfect chance to pounce.
The prey was practically presenting itself to it, it was almost too good to be true for the creature. The intruder would be annihilated and the rest would leave; all it needed to do was pounced-
BZZZZZZT
It roared in midair as it fell to the ground, electric pain throughout its whole body.
“Wooooo!” Scott cheered as he lowered the Gun. “We gottem!”
“Don’t celebrate too soon, now we gotta carry it out,” Hooper said. “Lara, tell the higher ups that we incapacitated the Skip,”
“Will do, Hoop,” Lara said. “Just get out of there ASAP, I-I’m not super comfy with Tri being in there is all,”
“I’ll live, honey,” Triana sighed. “Just a couple days in the medical wing is all,”
“Hopefully,” Lara chuckled uncomfortably.
“Woooooooooo! We’re the fucken’ winners tonight!” Nikole waved her arms as she stepped around the forest.
“Welp, everyone’s either injured or drunk, you gotta help me carry this thing, Cory,” Hooper said with his hands wrapped around the wrist of the creature.
“Do I have to?” Cory puffed his cheeks.
“Well, considerin’ that Triana’s too injured, and Nik’s too drunk… I’m kinda your boss,” Hooper chuckled. “So yeah, you have to,”
“Ugh, I should’ve stayed in accounting…” Cory pouted as he lazily stomped his way over to the incapacitated creature.
Tim: I need to have plausible deniability so that my team don’t think we’re going supervillain just yet.
Jason, who mentioned having to ‘do some business’ after this mission: ‘just yet’???
Tim, smiling thinly and tilting his head innocently: what?
Tim: We're gonna kill them all!
Tim: Figuratively, don't kill anyone
Tim: in front of me
The difference between the Justice League and the core four is:
The Justice League is horrified that Batman has contingency plans to subdue (and/or kill) them, should they become a threat for any reason
The core four helped Tim brainstorm ways to stop them and wrote it all down in glitter gel pen
Jon being raised by his grandma means that he has old lady hobbies btw.
He enjoys knitting and embroidery, collects flowers to press and frame, grows plants anywhere he can fit them in his flat, is part of a book club (he hates most of the books they read) and a stitch 'n bitch, and he plays solitaire with real cards.
He baked a lot pre-avatar nonsense (that shit is time consuming, even in a nicer AU) and still has his grandmother's cribbage and chess boards and her vintage gramophone, even if he never uses it.
Jon has the spirit of an 80 year old woman and he's okay with that.
