Summary
Danny didn’t want to be here, didn’t want to be smiling at people who thought he was worth nothing more than the dirt on their shoes, didn’t want to be dressed up like a doll. But Vlad told him to behave, so he did. Vlad needs these people’s money and influence to expand his business, so Danny’s job is to smile and nod and charm his way into hearts and wallets. The Waynes, though, seem to be able see right through Danny’s mask. Even stranger, they seem to want to help him.
OR
Danny is outed as Phantom to his parents who then hand him over to Vlad Masters with the promise that Masters will “bring their Danny back” and punish the ghost who is “wearing their son’s skin”. Masters jumps at the opportunity to use Danny as a substitute for his Obsession, training Danny to be his heir and experimenting on him in turn. It all changes when Masters blusters his way into various parties to gain influence, wielding Danny as a pity-card, and they gain the notice of Bruce Wayne (abused-and-orphaned-children Foster Dad Extraordinaire).
