Chapter Text

Tim Drake Wayne was just on the way to get a morning coffee, before he went to work (W.E.).

When a teen fell right into his arms, without any warning what so ever.
As he wasn't paying attention to a stumbling teen directly coming his way.

He was utterly stunned and definitely not expecting some teen to fall into his arms this morning.
The teen had black hair and just seemed to doze of IN HIS arms.

He must be more sleep deprived then Tim, if he fell asleep in some strangers arms.

Tim sighed. He needed his coffee. The teen was surprisingly light to carry.
Tim couldn't just let him sleep on the street. So he carried him to the coffee store.

Placing him in a sitting booth.
After getting his long awaited coffee, he settled himself in the same booth.

He pulled out his computer/ laptop and look over the news, as well as researching more about a case.

He heard a groan from the teen after sipping his coffee 4 times.
The teen sat up and looked around.

"Morning" Tim greeted.

He snapped his eyes in Tim's direction. "Eh it's Morning?" The teen asked.

Tim closed his laptop giving his full attention to the teen, who yawned.

"You really should get home to get some sleep" Tim commented.

"Wait, who are you?" he questioned.

Tim sighed. "I am Tim and you fell asleep on me"

"I did WHAT!?" He looked wide eyed at Tim.

"Mhm" Tim responded to his obvious surprise.

"Fuck I am so so sorry, I didn't mean to" The Teen rubbed the back of his neck nervously, before looking around.

"Just don't do it again" Tim said before sipping his coffee. "especially in Gotham, you don't want to be kidnapped"

"Gotham?" The teen looked utterly confused. "Fuck, fuck, fuck this is not good at all"
He continued, panic growing as he seem to realize something.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Tim asked.

A silent moment flashed by.
As the teen stared dumbfounded at Tim.

"Hey, man eh could I stay with you for a while, I kinda don't know how to get home" The teen stated.

"Where do you live?" Tim questioned.

"In Amity Park"

"Hm never heard of it, Where is that?"

"USA, Illinois" The teen sounded defeated while yawning again.

"What's your name?" Tim asked.

"Oh sorry, I am Danny"

Chapter Text

The half an hour of sleep that Danny had gotten seem to not have been enough.
On the way to Tim's apartment he stumbled multiple times and Tim needed to make sure he didn't walk into a wall.

"Here we are" Tim said as he guided the teen inside.

"Thank you so much man, I need more sleep to think clearly" Danny said as he basically dropped onto his living room couch.

"I will be at work if you wake up and I am not there" Tim explained.

"K" was the only response before Danny was out cold.

After he came home to his apartment, sighing the last board meeting was a pain in the ass.

He had almost complete forgotten the teen still sleeping on his couch, if it wasn't for said teen to fall of the couch still fast asleep.

He literally jumped in surprise and question how Danny could sleep so utterly silent. Tim could have sworn he didn't even hear him breathing.

Taking a deep breath he make his way to the kitchen. To warm up a meal that Alfred forced him to take home. From the last family dinner.

While waiting he decided to put Danny back on his couch.
Which caused Danny to mumble "5 more minutes jazz"

The teen also felt like he was freezing. So Tim got him one of his spare blankets.

Eating his food he decided to look up Amity Park.
Only to find it was abandoned with claims that it was radioactive.
So it was banned from traveling or living there.

He narrows his eyes at the still sleeping Danny. Why would someone claim to be from a abandoned town?

As Tim stared he noticed Dannys chest didn't rise and fall.
Putting his tablet on his coffee table he went to check the teens pulse.

There was none. His mind started raising. How is he dead?
Danny just mumble like an hour ago?

Tim held his hand in front of Danny mouth to check his breathing.
Once he breathed only Once!

Shaking Danny awake made him let out a breath of relief.

Danny blinked a couple of times, before he realizes his surroundings.

"Who are you?" He said still to much asleep to fully realize his situation.

"I am Tim the guy who let you stay in his apartment" he frantically explained, while check Danny pulse again.

Still noting...

"Ohhh ah did something happen?" Danny question. Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

Tim just stared at him for a moment, calculating how he should respond.

"How is your heart not beating?" He cut straight to the chase.

Danny froze "what?"

"You don't have a pulse" Tim explained.

"What do you mean I have a pulse! Look check" Danny sounded offended.

After checking once more there was indeed a pulse.
Did Tim hallucinate it?

"How long was I asleep for?" The teen question.

"Almost 7 whole hours" Tim responded automatically.
While getting more suspicious of Danny.

"Wow I haven't slept that long for what? 2 years" Danny sounded awestruck.

"How many hours do you usually get to sleep?" Tim was curious, could he have him beat in his fight against sleep?

"From like 10 minutes to like I guess an hour, I guess" the teen had a thought full expression.

"Why exactly do you only get one hour of sleep?" He asked.
Tim also felt gritty inside of someone else who despised sleep.

"Ehm bully's?" Danny sounded extremely unsure. "Hey do you got some food? I am kind of starving"

"Yeah I can warm you up some of the pork" he commented.

What he also just realized is how strange it was that Danny trusted him so much.
Like you shouldn't be this trustworthy in Gotham.

"Is your 'bully's' the reason you ended up in Gotham?" Tim question's.

"I mean kinda, this time they made an alliance with the fruit loop" the teen contemplated what happened.

"The fruit loop?" Tim snorted questioningly.

"Yeah I think they made this new weapon but something went wrong" Danny frowned and wished he listened more to his parents new invention.

But he was to occupied with protecting the town since more strong ghosts appeared.

"They bully you with weapon's?" Tim was skeptical.

"Eh not all of them" Danny shrugged in a what can you do motion and start eating.

This was extremely concerning to hear. How can he be so nonchalant about it?

"So you're plan is to get back to Amity Park?" He asked.

"Oh yeah" Danny nodded eagerly.

Tim pinched his nose and sighed in expiration.
"And how do you expect to get there, when there a ban on travelling there?"

"What!?" Danny almost spit his food out.

"How do you not know, it was banned since 14 years ago"

The teen stared wide eyed at his food for a long moment.
Tim was very tempted to just snap his fingers in front of him.

Danny leaned back and groaned. Then looked back at Tim.
" Do you have a map or something?"

"Yeah let me get it" Tim replied.

After finishing his food Danny looked over the map and cursed.
Dragging his hands down his face he let out a silent shriek.

"Bad news I might be longer here, then I hopped" Danny finally stated.

Chapter Text

So basically Danny was still kind of freaked out after looking at the map of the USA. He didn't recognize it.

Tim tried to calm him down, but that was kind of hard if he didn't know the reason it happened in the first place.

"Danny, if you tell me what's causing your distress I can help" Tim pleaded.

While Danny was still pacing around his living room.
And mumbling something Tim coulded hear.

"Yes! I need to recreate the weapon and shot myself with it" Danny exclaimed. Luckily he had seen the blueprint once.

"..." Tim was kind of speechless of his very unsafe conclusion.

"Hey Tim do you have any toaster you don't need? Or like wire's and scraps?"

Now how could Tim save Danny form killing himself? Distraction.

"Do you like video games?" Tim asked out of the blue.

Danny blinked in stunned silence at Tim. From the sudden change in topic he got whiplashed.

"Oh yeah, me Sam and Tucker used to play Doom all the time" he reminisced.

"Well I don't think I have Doom, but we can play Mario kart or something" Tim commented.

"Sure, what is it about?" Danny asked.

Distraction successful!
He can totally keep Danny from killing himself.

The whole rest of the evening was spent playing Mario kart.
Until Tim's alarm started to ring. It was almost time for his patrol.

Tim would have cursed himself for not having looked into his cold kidnapping case. If it wasn't for the fun he had with Danny.

But he also was called in by Barbara to help with a steak out today.
Since Batman was with the Justice League, someone needed to make sure that Damion didn't kill anyone on his case.

So with the excuse that that's his sleep alarm, he left Danny to his own devices.

He seemed to be content testing out some of his other games.

When he came back at 4 in the morning Danny was sleeping with controller in hand. The TV was still showing the last game he started.

Tim smirked at the site. Before he had the idea to make sure he hadn't hallucinated.

... His pulse was gone again. Breathing to just gone.

Well it literally spooked him when he turned around and heard an intake of air. Only one intake of air is not enough for person to survive.

Staring contemplating at Danny. He was definitely a more interesting case then the cold kidnapping.

Yeah Tim was definitely making a case file for Danny.

To make really sure of it he checked Danny anytime he found him asleep. In the 3 following day when Danny was asleep he just had no pulse and breathed only once per hour.

His current theory was that Danny either was a meta or something other than human.

Tim also found Danny taking apart his toaster and mumbling something about not having enough parts.

When he spotted Tim he jumped in his way to entrance of the apartment.

"Hey Tim do you know a place here in Gotham to get scrap metal and wires?" He asked excided.

"Yes I do, but I won't tell you because you would make a weapon to kill yourself" Tim stated.

Which for some reason cause Danny to giggle.

"Come on pls, you know your way around here and it's not to kill myself (I already did that)" Danny defended his argument and mumbled the last part.

"Shooting yourself won't bring you to that radioactive town" Tim explained exasperated.

"Radioactive?" Danny blinked confused.

"Danny, I need to get to work, we can talk about it later" Tim argued.

"What are you even working as? Like you could be the same age as me. Why are you not in high school?" Danny questioned.

"I graduated early, now I need a coffee it is to early for this" Tim complained.

In the corner of his eyes he sah Danny smirk as Tim closed the apartment door. Sighing he is truly to tired for this.

After getting his well deserved coffee and making his way to Wayne Enterprise.

He heard a sharp intake of air right next to him.
Right in front of the building he looked around, but there was no one there.

Other sounds like growls, giggles and groans appeared around that day.

Tim was fairly sure there was at least something following him around. Others heard the being to and looking around to locate where it came from.

It caused a whole fight at two of his board meetings today.
Just by giggling and groaning, people suspected each other.

He went to an empty room to confront this being.
Feeling around Tim got a surprised yelp from it.

Which caused the being to suddenly be visible.
It was a teen with white hair and.... Lazarus green glowing eyes.

After a moment of staring the teen looked down at himself.

"Ups" was the only thing the teen said.

"Who are you? And what do you want form me?" Tim question's sternly.

The teen looked back up to Tim. "oh ehm" the teen rubbed the back of his neck. Tim in turn narrows his eyes at him.

He looked around for a moment as if to make sure no one hears him. Before stretching him his arm out to shake.

"I am Phantom, nice to meet you" Phantom introduced himself.

Tim crossed his arms and just continued to stare.

"Okay no hand shakes then got it" Phantom retreated his arm awkwardly. "So you're the CEO of Wayne Enterprise, would you know where to find scrap metal and wires?"

"Is that the only reason you stalked me?" Tim asked disbelievingly.

"Yeah... As like the biggest company in Gotham I was thinking you guys had some" he smiled sheepishly.

"Do you have money to pay for it?" Tim question's.

"Ehm noo, the only money I got is to outdated" Phantom confessed.

"What do you mean outdated?" The young CEO inquires.

Phantom started to fiddle with a pocket on his hazmat suit.
Why is he wearing a hazmat suit?

"I compared it to money from a guy who wanted to rob me this one time, so I don't think I can use this can I?" Phantom explained while handing over his money to Tim.

Wow that's indeed old money. so old infect that, if Tim parents were alive they would be happy to get there hand on it.

"Yeah, you can only use that with archaeologists" the young CEO comments.

"Where do I find some and do you think they have wires and metal scrap?" He replies cheerful.

There was a knock at the door. "Timothy Drake Wayne your next meeting is in 5 minutes"

When Tim looked back where Phantom was he noticed the teen was gone.

"Coming Tam" the young CEO replied.

Finally home Tim thought as he entered his apartment.
Danny came running out of the bathroom with a panicked expression on this face.

"Tim! Tim! You need to hide me from your dad!" Danny exclaimed.

"Wait what are you talking about?" Tim question's very confused.

"I don't want another billionaire trying to adopt me please hide me from your dad!" Danny pleaded.

Which made Tim snort and it turned into fully laughing.

"Hey it's not funny. It is a serious problem I am dealing with!" Danny tried to defend himself. It miserably failed.

"Also please tell me your dad doesn't have an secret basement or something" Tim almost choked after hearing Danny says that.

"One crazed up fruit loop is enough to deal with thank you very much" Danny said indignantly.

After calming down from his laugh attack he promised Danny he wouldn't let Bruce adopt him.

Chapter Text

Dick is the oldest so he needs to look after his siblings.
So when he was visiting Gotham for a police case, he decided to check on them.

Jason and Tim are the first to check since they have there own apartments.

Jason was annoyed as always. There was some new drug Lord getting on his nerve.

And as most if not all of the bat children do he entered though the window. Same with Tim apartment only he didn't expect to be attacked.

As soon as he landed on the bedroom floor, he was tackled by surprising strangth. Landing on the floor with his upper body he noticed someone cuffing him.

How did they get the cuffs so cold though? Did Tim put them in the fridge? Why would Tim even attack him?

Oh no did he get into the wrong apartment?

"Who are you, and what do you want in Tim's apartment?" The person still holding him down asked.

Wait Tim's apartment? He was in the right one.

"I am Tim's brother and came to check on him" Dick answered almost muffled since he was talking into the floor.

"Oh, sorry" the boy got off him. So he could sit upright.

It was a teen a bit younger then Tim from the looks of it, with black hair and blue eyes. The teen also rubs his neck nervously.

"So Tim is still at work, do you want to play Mario kart?" The teen questioned cheerfully.

"Yeah sure, but who are you?" Dick inquires suspiciously.

"Oh I am Danny and staying with Tim until I figure out a way home" Danny explained.

Dick got kind of whiplash with just how open he was. Like this is Gotham. If he would have been a robber or like a murderer Danny would be fucked.

"Where do you come from?" Dick continued is integration because that's what this is turning into.

"Amity Park, that is in Illinois" Danny answered.

"And why did you come to Gotham?" Dick questioned.

"Oh the fruit loop and my parents shot at me here with there new invention. I don't think it was supposed to teleport me to Gotham but here we are" Danny nodded in agreement at his statement.

"..." Dick was stunned into silents.

"Anyways wanna play Mario kart?" With that Danny dragged him to the living room.

Tim didn't expect to be coming home to a whining Dick, due to having lost in Mario kart again.

"When did you get here Dick?" Tim asked.

"Don't insult your brother like that" Danny protested.

This caused Dick to burst out laughing. Danny frown turn into confusion, as he looked back at Dick.

"Danny Dick is his name" Tim explained.

"Wait what? Why would someone name there children Dick?" Danny questioned.

"Actually he named himself that" Tim stated.

"Why would your parents not name you?" Danny turned to a still giggling Dick.

After taking a couple deep breaths Dick responded " it's a nickname my full name Richard Grayson Wayne"

"Huh and people just call you Dick?"

"Yeah" Dick said smiling.

Tim went to the kitchen to look for food to warm up.

"Hey Dick are you staying for dinner?" Tim asked.

"Yeah, I want to learn more about your roommate" Dick replied from the living room.

"Well we going to get takeout since we are out of warm up meals"
Tim commented loudly.

"Oh could we get like burgers with fries?" Danny questioned excitedly.

"Sure" both Tim and Dick responded.

"So how did you guys meet?" Dick asked curious.

"He fell asleep on me in the middle of the street" Tim shared.

"Well if you haven't slept in like 6 days. or was it 7? Eh well try to stay awake then" Danny complained.

"Why didn't you sleep for 6 days?" Dick inquired.

"Mostly bully's and others trying to rip me apart molecule by molecule" Danny explained while concentrating on the game.

Tim and Dick share a silent look. Shock and horror danced over Dicks. Tim was just stunned.

"Why would someone want to rip you apart molecule by molecule?" Tim questioned. His thoughts almost started to spiral.

"Science"

Chapter Text

"is he just messing with us or?" Dick asked after dragging Tim to the bathroom, to talk privately.

"Well he has said concerning stuff like that since I found him" Tim explained.

"He told me his parents shot at him!" Dick exclaimed disbelievingly.

"Wait that's more information then just his so called bully's" Tim commented.

"The weapon that got him here was invented by his parents" Dick sounded distressed.

"Maybe they hated him, due to his meta status?" Tim mused.

"He is a meta?" Dick questioned.

"Yeah most likely, he doesn't have a pulse when he sleeps" Tim explained.

"I have never heard of a meta with the ability to turn there heart off" Dick mentioned.

"He also told me one time that he was so glad my security doesn't shot him, wen I asked why. Danny said it would always lock on him at home" Tim said tiredly.

"Wait is he your newest case?" Dick asked.

"Yep, he's more interesting than that other kidnapping case" Tim yawned "oh well I need some more coffee"

As Tim made his way out of the bathroom Dick grabbed him by the arm and dragged him in the living room.
Tim didn't complain.

"Hey Danny, come on we are going to eat out, since I think Tim was to tired to order anything" Dick called out.

"But coffee" Tim whined.

Danny jumped off the couch in excitement.
"Sure where are we going?"

"Bat burgers" Dick nodded.

On the street Danny looked around with interest.
Really the only time he was outside of the apartment was just around the neighborhood or to follow Tim as Phantom.

So he was fairly curious and asked Dick "hey do you know where I can get scrap metal and wires? Tim won't tell me"

Tim sighed "we talked about this, no you are not building a weapon to shot yourself"

"Why would want to shot yourself?" Dick asked concerned.

"To get home duh" Danny said as if it was a completely normal reason.
" So will you tell where it is or do I need to find archaeologists?" Danny asks.

That made Tim pause "what did you just say?" He turned slowly to look in Danny direction.

"Oh that if he knows where the scrap metals and wires are he should tell me" Danny explained proudly. Not at all realizing his slip up.

"No not that the second part" Tim questioned while narrowing his eyes at Danny.

Danny in turn rubbed the back of his neck and replies "that I need to find archaeologists?"

"Tim what's going on?" Dick asked confused.

"Danny do you know anyone named Phantom?" The young CEO inquires.

"... yeah we are friends? Why?" Danny question while narrowing his eyes at Tim in suspicious.

"Hey guys are you hungry or not, can't we have this discussion in the Bat Burgers?" Dick comments.

"How long until we are there?" Danny asked cheerfully.

"Oh it's just around that corner" Dick pointed out.

With that Danny ran ahead. Only to stumble back wards, due to running into a 6 foot giant muscle dude.

"Oh so sorry wasn't looking where I was going!" Danny hastily apologized.

The guy looked down at Danny and then back up to see Dick and Tim.

"Did Bruce Wayne adopt another one?" Was the only question that came out of his mouth.

"No! I will never let billionaires adopt me!" Danny exclaimed offended.

This made the big guy chuckle.

"Why does everyone of you guys find that funny? it's serious man!" The teen whined.

"Good luck with that short stack" the guy responded before going on his mary way.

"Am I truly the only person who has a problem with billionaires trying to adopt me?" Danny mused.

"Yeah probably, why are you so against it anyway?" Tim asked before yawning Once more.

" Well if one fruit loop tries to kill your Dad, marry your mom and adopt you forcefully for what a year and a half. You kind off get a problem with the idea" Danny explained as if he was telling the weather.

An awkward chuckle later and Dick exclaimed "we are here, this is Bat Burgers"

"Why is it even called Bat Burgers? Do they use bat meat for there burgers?" Danny mused

"They named themselves after the vigilante Batman and the menu options are named after his site kicks and villains"

"Wait you guys have vigilantes here!?" Danny exclaimed in surprise.

Chapter Text

"so you really never heard of Batman?" Dick asked after sitting down in one of the bat burgers booths.

"Yep I am clueless" Danny said while swinging his legs under the table, due to excitement.

"Since Gotham is known for its high crime rate, he took it in his hands to fight it" Tim explained.

"But why call him Batman? Is he part bat or something?" Danny asked curiously.

Dick chuckles " no, but we have a rough name man bat who is part bat"

"How? Is he a ghost?" Danny inquires.

Tim tilted his head in confused.

" No, I heard he was a scientist. Who wanted to improve human senses and had no one to test it on, but himself" Dick explained.

"Huh so if something is strange it's always the fault of science isn't it" Danny mused.

"Is that why you are so strange?" Tim suddenly asked.

"What do you mean?" Danny tilted his head this time.

"Why do you always say the most worrying stuff so nonchalant?" Tim question's.

"What worrying stuff?" Danny blinked confused.

"Wait you didn't realize?" Dick asked astonished.

"Here are your Batburger with fries and Spoiler shake, the Hot Batwings and bat milk, Red-Ham sandwich also with fries" A person in a Spoiler costume said that while putting the food on there table.

And when they retreated Danny could hear them mumble "I guess Bruce Wayne adopt another one"

"I have not been adopted and never will!" Danny called after her.

Which made her retreated faster.

"Why would you announce that so loud" Tim complained.

"I don't want people to get the wrong idea" Danny defended his actions.

Dick just chuckle again before digging in.

"I guess exploding burger sauces are better then normal ones" Danny mused again after a couple of bites.

Dicks eyes widened and he almost choked on his Hot Batwings.

"That's what I mean" Tim exclaimed pointing at Danny.

"But it's true!" Danny cried out.

Tim put his hands in his face "God you are dense"

"Anyways what are this Batmans sidekicks?" The teen change the subject, due to having heard that response to many times from Sam and Tucker.

They both just blinked at Danny for a moment.

"Well there's robin the most well known sidekicks, since he still appears with him to this day, than there is Spoiler, Signal the day time one, Red Robin and Nightwing, but he relocated to Blüdhaven"
Dick list them off.

"Rarely these days do's he also co-operate with the Red Hood and Orphan" Tim added.

"And they really didn't use those names because of some kind of ability? Or is Spoiler obsessed with spoiling things?" Danny questioned.

"The only ones with abilities are metas or the heroes from the justice league" Dick answered.

"I guess Spoiler did spoiled her way into the group" Tim chuckled.

"And you really need to sleep as soon as we get back" Dick scolded Tim .

"I just need coffee..." Tim whined.

"So what's the justice league?" Danny asked.

"They are bunch of heroes that protect the world from alien invasions and world ending stuff" Tim explained sounded disinterested and concentration more of his two last bits of his Red-Ham sandwich.

"That's smart" Danny commented.

"Why did Bat Burger stop having coffee" Tim whined again.

"Tim the Bat Burger never had coffee in the first place" Dick explained exasperated.

Chapter Text

" Wait there are aliens from outer space!?" Danny exclaimed excitedly after taking a sip of his Spoiler shake.

"Yeah, some heroes are aliens, like Martion Manhunter and Superman" Dick commented grinning at Danny's happiness.

Danny had literal sparkles in his eyes " from where are they from?"

"Superman is from a Planet called Krypton and Martion Manhunter is from Mars" Dick explained.

"Did you know that Mars has the largest Volcano in the solar system" Danny declared proudly.

"Oh I didn't know" Dick commented.

"Why do others planets not have coffee" Tim whined.

"But they do. It tastes different and humans shouldn't drink it. Since it's for aliens" Danny explained.

This stunnes Tim and Dick into silents.

"I tried some and they tasted like liquid batteries. I should definitely visit when I get back home" Danny mused.

He remembered the time he came back from a time related mission and found alien ghosts in the ghost zone. That was fun.

"Why do you know what liquid battery tastes like?" Dick asked.

"I thought when I was 5, that liquid battery was like normal food. You know cause it gives energy to machinery, like food to humans" Danny responds.

"How do you know about space coffee?" Tim question's.

"Oh I meet some alien ghosts like 3 months ago maybe longer" Danny mused.

"Why are you talking about ghosts all the time?" Tim asked.

"My parents are scientist who study ghosts for living" Danny explained monotone. "Anyway do you want to hear more space facts?"

The rest of the way back to Tim's apartment was completely filled with space facts. (Thanks to Danny)

"So how far away is Krypton?" Danny questioned after entering the apartment.

Dick is keeping Tim from going to the kitchen to make himself coffee.

"Ehm Krypton got destroyed by another planet chasing into it" Dick explained.

"Oh, I wonder if that created some ghosts" Danny mused.

Dick turn to Tim and ask sternly "how long have you been awake for?"

" Not long enough, like only 3 days" Tim complained.

"That's enough, now go to sleep" Dick commanded.

"Sleep sounds like a great idea" Danny pipes up.

Tim made an astonished face and yelled "you traitor, you are supposed to be on my side!"

"Sleep is important, so that you have enough energy to defend yourself against sneak attacks" Danny exclaimed nodded.

Both just stared at Danny again in stunned silence.

"What? Have you never been sneak attack before?" Danny asks.

"We just didn't expect something like that to come from you" Dick explained.

"I guess some people don't have to deal with someone wanting to skin them" Danny complained.

"Dick I don't think sleeping is the best idea right now" Tim said slowly while rebooting his brain from what he just heard.

Danny tilted his head confused. Dick sighed in expiration.

"If you can't sleep, I know sleeping together might help. It worked with me and my friends back home" Danny offered.

Tim blinked surprised at him.

"You know what Danny your job now is to make sure Tim sleeps regularly!" Dick exclaims while nodded.

"Oh can I have scrap metal and wires for it?" Danny inquires.

"No" came from both.

"We can pay you with money if you want" Dick said.

"Sure, at least until I get home" Danny nodded in agreement.

Chapter Text

So as it turns out this Job had more to it than just making sure that Tim sleeps. As Tim and Dick discussed it the next day.

Distraction and monitoring.

Make sure Danny doesn't kill himself and find as much out about him as possible. Since they still could be after him. Who were does so called bully's were unclear.

And there was also Phantom. What had he told do with Danny?
Why does Danny not have a heart beat? Why is Danny so clueless about the most know thinks?

That were all thoughts came in Tim head as he went about to update his file.

Also that morning he had overslept, Danny was really comfortable to sleep with.
And keep in mind last time Tim overslept was when he was still living in the Wayne Manor without any Damion to terrorize him.

So it was a feat to keep him asleep that long.

That Didn't really excuse him from any board meeting today.
So Tim rushed to work and asked his assistant there to get him coffee.

This evening however Danny didn't drag him to bed as he expected.
Tim found him rummaging through cabinets, searching for who had guess metal scraps and wires.

He didn't even seem to notice that it was already passed midnight.
So Tim got some work on his cold kidnapping case done.

Danny sat down on the couch arms crossed looking pouting at Tim.

"How do you not have any broken devices?" Danny asked frustrated.

"You already turned the toaster into ruble, that's enough" Tim declared not looking up from his screen.

All of a sudden Danny went tense and looking around frantically.
Tim spread him a glance and narrowed his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Tim questioned concerned.

"I just need to go to the bathroom" Danny said in a strangely sweetly voice. Which Tim most often heard wen someone was lying.

Tim watch Danny stumble of the couch and make a be line for the bathroom.

That was the first time Danny seemed truly suspicious. So Tim silently followed him. Danny didn't lock the door.

Tim looked inside to find nothing not even Danny. Where did he go?
He looked in the entire apartment no sign of Danny anywhere.
He wasn't in the neighborhood either.

Did he really just run?

Tim put his Red Robin costume on and went on the search for Danny. After another 3 hours of searching he was tempted to call in Dick for back up. Before noticing a glowing person in the distance.

When Tim went to check it out, it was Phantom. He seemed frantically looking for something.

"Hello, you know metas are not allowed in Gotham" Red Robin questioned.

Phantom tilted his head in confusion "what are you talking about?"

"You are clearly a meta, with your whole glow and floating" Red Robin commented while gesturing at Phantom.

"Huh I don't didn't know ghosts had a other name here" Phantom responded.

"Wait you are a ghost?" Tim asked surprised.

"Yeah isn't that what meta means?" Phantom tilted his entire torso with his head to the side.

"No, it's people with meta genes or like aliens, humans with Powers" Red Robin summarized.

"Oh wait what kind of aliens? No focus Phantom you need To find Tim" Phantom said resolutely.

"Do you know there last name?" Red Robin let it not show that he had a suspicious he meant him.

"I think it was Wayne, not sure though some people also called him Drake. That was so confusing like which one is it Drake or Wayne?" Phantom mused.

"The CEO of Wayne Enterprise?" Tim asked just to confirm.

"Yeah my friend asked me to look for him, because he completely forgot about his job until he couldn't find him" Phantom explained.

"This friend of yours wouldn't be named Danny would it?" Red Robin inquired.

"Yeah, so do you know where Tim is he needs to go to sleep" Phantom answered easily.

Tim mentality groans, he doesn't need to sleep right now. What he needs is to find Danny.

"I can tell you where Tim is when you tell me where Danny is" Red Robin declared.

"Sure red dude, Danny is probably currently pacing in Tim living room" Phantom nodded thinking that sounded right.

"As far as I am aware Tim is in a coffee shop getting a late night coffee" Red Robin made up.

"Can you point me in the direction please" Phantom pleaded "I am still new around here"

"Why not just wait until he comes back?" Tim asks.

"I need to make sure he is safe" Phantom explained confidently.

Chapter Text

Tim reluctantly gave Phantom the direction to the coffee shop he was supposedly at.
He made sure Phantom didn't see him go in the same direction.
Sneaking into the nearest safe house around the coffee shop.

He turned himself back into regular Tim Drake Wayne, by shedding his vigilante suit and made his way to the coffee shop.

Phantom was no where to be seen. So he breathed out in relief that he made it in time.

But as he grabbed his phone out of his pocket to check the apartment security cameras, Tim yelped.
Phantom appeared right next to him.

"Hi there again" he greeted. A bit to close for Tim's personal opinion.

"Hello Phantom..." Tim trailed off.

"It's pretty late to be out for coffee you know" He commented.

Tim went back to checking the security cameras and low and behold Danny was there.
(Because Danny send a clone to Tim's apartment. To be prepared if the red dude shows up)

"There always time for coffee" Tim answered absentmindedly.

"Danny was worried when he didn't find you" Phantom decided to get straight to the point.

Tim looked up from his phone to Phantom.

"What is your relationship with Danny?" His curiosity got the better of Tim.

"Hm friends and allies, why?" Phantom inquired.

"Curiosity heard him say you were friends. Do you know his last name?" Tim started his interagation.

"Yeah I do, do you want to know?" Phantom grinned almost to wide to be human, something feral.

Tim felt uneasy but continued anyway "yes"

"Fenton, Daniel Fenton, but he likes to be called Danny" Phantom responded looking amused.
Tim would like to Know why but that's not an important question right now.

"How long did you know each other?" Tim asked.

A waiter gave a glance to them and shuddered at realizing he needed to approach that creature. Phantom meet there eyes for a moment before grabbing Tim.

Tim's eyes widened at sudden contact. He felt almost as cold as ice, but that was overshadowed by a prickly feeling taken hold of his whole body. He dropped his phone in surprise.

"It's sleeping time" is he only thing Phantom said before flying above the roof of the coffee shop through the whole building.

Tim only now realized how weightless he felt. They were flying to Tim's apartment. It all went by so fast. Why wasn't there wind resistance?

That Phantom just being able to fly through walls was a huge security risk. Meaning he needed to be more careful.

"Finally took you long enough Phantom" Danny came over and looked Tim over to make sure he wasn't hurt.

Phantom just rolled his eyes "as if you could do a better job in a city as big as Gotham" Phantom scoffed.

"How are you flying without wind resistance?" Was the first thing that came out of Tim's mouth. Causing both Phantom and Danny to giggle.

"Intangibility" responded both in sync.

Then Danny grabbed his arm and dragged him to Tim's bedroom.
Tim spotted Phantom leaning in the door way having crossed his arms.

"Oh fuck I dropped my phone" Tim realized out loud.

"where did you drop it?" Danny questioned while punching him into the bed and tucking him in.

"The coffee shop" He said while his mind tried to figure out what that prickly feeling was that he felt 5 minutes ago.

"I will get it" said Phantom while he was turning around.

"What time is it?" Tim asked since he could see the orange morning shine of the sun coming up.

"Sleeping time" Danny smirk at him as he crawled into the bed next to him and cuddle up.

Chapter Text

After Tim finally got away from Danny.
Without Danny dragging him to sleep again.

He got to his computer and a coffee. Searching for one Daniel Fenton getting all the info he could get and comparing it with his own notes.

Tim's notes currently:
---------------------------------------------------------
Full name: Daniel Fenton. (From Phantom)

Likes to be called Danny.
Is a meta with the ability to stop his own heart beat and slow his breathing.

Hobby's: engineering and Video games.

Is ecstatic about anything and all about space.

Favorite food burger and fries.
He would eat it literally all the time if I didn't stop him.
And he doesn't even seem to realize.

Claim's to be from Amity Park, a town in Illinois. That as of 20XX (14 years ago) was declared to radioactive to live or travel to.

Because of this it is to believe that his parents mistaken him for a ghost. Since they are ghost hunters, they made security and own invented weapons to shot at Danny.

I believe that the comments of someone wanting to skin him was not his parents for now.

Also were did eatable explosive burger sauces come from?

He is Friends with Phantom, who appeared 3 days after meeting Danny. Asking for the same Material Danny needed.

There still no answer how Phantom got money that looked to be from the middle ages.

Has excessive Trauma of billionaires wanting to adopt him and seems adamant about not letting it happen under any circumstances.

There was mentions of so called other bully's and a Fruit loop.
Who also attack him with weapons.

I think Fruit loop is some kind of code name.

Most worrying sentence by far: "They want to to rip me apart molecule by molecule" for science.

Thinks if he shoots himself with a selfmade gun would send him home.

Most weird stuff he knows, Danny always explains with ghosts.

Oh yeah and he has a worst sleep schedule then me.
(Dick will pay for hiring the sleep devil)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notes about Danny found Online:

This Danny lived in Chicago before this tragic event.
There was never any mention of Amity Park.

Hobby's: Video games and astronomy.

His parents had worked as doctors with little to no time at all with there children.

His sister ran away from home the first chance she got and never got back in contact with him.

His only friends drifted apart due to him moving to Wisconsin.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So Danny would have to been finding out when he tried to kill himself. After he couldn't handle the bully's any more.

But somethings didn't add up.

Like how could his parents have shot at him if they died before him.

Did his ghosts parents have the twisted idea to reunion with Danny though death. Since to try and kill him as ghosts?

Or where does the explosive burger sauces come in?
Did he just make it all up?

Why did he truly come to Gotham? After faking his death.

How did he disappear in the Bathroom!?

So many questions ran through Tim head. Which got only interrupted by a cold breath on his neck.

Looking around nothing stood out to him.

Fuck if that was Phantom he was going to tell Danny.
Tim cursed mentally.

Chapter Text

It has 3 days since Dick visited. Danny started more often than not to go out getting a feel for the area and looking for the parts he needed.

Danny had a problem he was slowly forgetting the blue prints. Means he needs the parts faster.

Now that Danny was standing in front of Tim's working place he remembered he had a job. So why not do it now?

Tim was leaving another board meeting and making his way to his office to look over some new products ideas.
When he heard a commotion.

"Hey you can't just walk in here, You are not a employee!" Someone shouted.

Tim turned the corner to see Danny dodging the receptionist, the other employee's and the Police.

"Hey I am here to do my job!" He called out.

"But you don't work here" Tam said calmly.

Tim sighed before explaining "He is my roommate, I will talk to him in my office"

That's seems to make everyone calm down and go back to there usual work.

"Since when did you have a roommate Tim?" Tam asked while following them.

"Last week Friday" Tim responded.

"Wait I am already a week here?" Danny questioned.

Entering his office "Yes you are, now why did you come?"

"You need to sleep" Danny explained.

Pinching the bridge of his nose before exclaiming "I am in the middle of work!"

"But it's my job to make you sleep, so do you want to sleep here or at your apartment" Danny defended, not seeing the problem at all.

"Did you really hire him to make you sleep?" Tam asked.

"Dick gave him the job. That was that one time I overslept this week" Tim explained exasperated.

"See" Danny exclaimed before suddenly picking Tim up.

"Huh????" Was Tim's reaction.

"Don't worry I will give him back when he is done sleeping" Danny told Tam. Who chuckled in return, but it faded because Danny was running back to the apartment.

This was so going to start a rumor. His mind complained.

Strangely enough Danny didn't stop to unlock the door. Tim just landed in his bed with Danny crawling in too.

"Now sleep" Danny demented.

Tim tried to escape but Danny had a strong grip on him. Was Danny always this strong?

Well he has to options tricking Danny into thinking he was asleep and escaping when he is asleep or bribery.

"Would you let me go back to work if I get you wires?" Tim question's.

" I already have some" Danny said snuggling more into Tim.

"What about scrap metal?" He really hoped it would work.

"Sleep is important Tim, you need to defend yourself if you get sneak attacked" Danny argued.

"But it's in the middle of the day, literally a half hour before lunch time" Tim complained.

"You don't want to get shot into another dimension" was the last thing Danny said before drifting to sleep himself.

"Wait what? Danny? Oh he is asleep" Tim observed.

Well there goes both options he was still holding onto Tim even in his sleep.

Chapter Text

Barbara Gordon has her eyes everywhere that is connected to the internet.

She was so busy that she almost missed it. Shamefully a week later.

Tim had been kidnapped twice by the same person and it had happened again.

When she tried to identify the boy who looks a bit younger than Tim himself, her face recognition crashed.

It never done that before and it glitched heavily after reopening to try once more. Barbara couldn't get anything useful from his face.

So she looked what other Wayne Enterprise Employees posted about him.

His name was Danny and was supposedly Tim's roommate.
He also had some kind of job that had something to do with Tim.

The newest post was from a director complaining how they were just letting this Danny steal there CEO in front of there eyes.
And how so tedious it was to to tell his report twice.

Then Barbara decided to let the other into the information. To make sure Tim wasn't in any danger.

9:30 am:

Barbara: Hey someone needs to check on Tim he keeps getting kidnapped in the middle of his work.

Dick: Wait what???? By who?

Steph: How did he manage to do that? Hasn't Wayne Enterprises super high security?

Barbara: Tim's new roommate is our culprit. His Name is Danny.

Dick: oh I already meet him. Danny is new to Gotham. Got here 2 weeks ago.

Steph: since when does Tim Have a roommate!?

Barbara: Dick why does Danny kidnap Tim? What is Danny's job?

Dick: to get Tim to regularly sleep, that's what we hired him for. But I don't see why he would kidnap Tim in the middle of the day.

Steph: I will check on Tim for you guys! :)

Dick: Be prepared to hear something concerning, he often says stuff like how its normal to be shot at by his parents.

Barbara: Why does he get shot at by his parents!?

Dick: idk asked Tim, he is more often around Danny then me.

Tim: why are we talking about the sleep devil?

Steph: sleep devil?

Dick: sleep devil?

Tim: yeah Danny... He has a worst sleep schedule then me and mine is currently getting destroyed by being sleep snatched.

Barbara: Is that what you are calling the Kidnappings? Sleep snatching?

Tim: yeah, he literally does it to put me asleep.

Dick: Did you not give him a schedule?

Tim: I tried, but he's getting more focused on his gun and completely forgets that it even exists.

Steph: should I prepare to be shot?

Tim: no he would only shot himself.

Barbara: can you give me any information you have on him, my face recognition software crashed. After I tried it on him.

Tim: yeah, but it will give you more questions then answers. Also don't let B near him, he will 100% flee. Has a trauma with billionaires who wanted to adopt him.

Jason: why the hell are my notifications on!?

Chapter Text

Tim was getting more and more paranoid, due to Danny and Phantom's unpredictable Sleep snatching.

It always changes without any particular pattern when they decide to snatch him from his work.

Some times he was in the middle of a important board meeting.
Some times just talking with the R&P employee's or other employee's.

Not even his talks with directors where safe from the two sleep devil's.

The timing was like this:
1 nights skip 3 > 2 nights skip 1 > 5 Nights skip 4

And on and on, most often then not where these nights are not even at night!

It frustrated Tim to no end, since he quickly realized both Phantom and Danny were stronger than they looked. That left no way for Tim to escape.

Not even mentioning the time he was out as Red Robin. Anytime Danny decided it was sleeping time for when he was out and couldn't find him. Phantom would start searching.

Anytime Phantom spotted Red Robin he would asked him for where Tim was.

"Hey Red Robin, have you seen Tim?" Phantom questioned while Red Robin almost jumped into the building he was investigating.

Tim didn't almost fall at the sudden appearance. Sighing he rubbed his face in expiration.

"No I have not Phantom go anyway" Red Robin didn't check if he really went away before he jumped in.

"But you always know where he is, I didn't see him in-" Phantom was abruptly cut of by Red Robins gloved hand. That was placed over his mouth.

"Shh, I will never again tell you where Tim is if you not either leave or be quiet" Tim whispered harshly.

Phantom tilted his head.

They went further into a rader big apartment. It was missing any kind of personal details and decorated.

" Hey doctor Henry, we got you more of the scare crow stuff you wanted" A voice called out.

"Good job Mike, just put it to the rest" doctor Henry called back from a different direction.

Phantom stuck his head in a wall besides him. The doctor started humming a song.

Red Robin was about to move forward when he seen Phantom speed passed him. Cursing under his breath he ran after him.

Coming to a stop at a observation room. Phantom started to growl which send a shiver down Tim spine. He looked Angry.

When Tim looked into the Room being observed he sah a child clearly under the effect of fear gas.

Hearing a clipboard fall to the ground made him look back to the doctor in the room. He looked really pale and seem to be staring at Phantom intensely.

"Why children" Phantoms voice echoed through the room unnatural.

"I- I- We couldn't get any adults to volunteer" he answered as he to a step backwards.

"Where are the other missing children?" Red Robin inquired.

The Man glanced at Red Robin. Seemingly noticing him for the first time and gulped. He hit the wall behind him and continued to stare at Phantom.

"H-How did you get that creature t-to work for the bats" he asked in return.

Phantom hissed out "Answer him".

"Well the- the one's still alive are a floor below" doctor Henry stammered.

Danny wanted to hit this guy to a pope, but that would most likely kill him and he didn't want to Steal a fight from Red Robin so he decided to calm the child down.

As soon as Phantom left the room doctor Hangry made a break for it to escape, only to be knocked out by Red Robin. He made sure he sip tied the Guy.

Tim looked astonished though the window to see the little boy free from any fear gas efficient and crying naturally in Phantoms arm's.
It was the first time Tim had ever seen him this gentle. Something inside of him found the side endearing.

Red Robin shook himself out of his musing and reported to Oracle.

"Found where the kidnapped kids were taken to, send the police over will you?" Tim said into his com.

"Sure, they will be there in 10 minutes" she responded quickly.

Phantom came back though the window sleeping child still in his arms. "Let's free the others" He declared.

That's exactly what they did. Red Robin beat anyone up and sip tied them, while Phantom open all the doors to let the kids out.

Though after the whole ideal Phantom ask once more. "Where is Tim?"

Chapter Text

Steph was excited to meet Tim's roommate and decided to make the best first impression with waffles.

She came through the window with a waffle iron and a bag of waffle mixture. The best kind of waffle mixture in her opinion.

Only to find no one home. It was early in the morning why weren't they home?

Shrugging she made her way to the kitchen.

To find the kitchen counter full of wires some lump of tech and a sleep schedule scribble over to look like a blue print.
It looked like for a hair dryer but more complicated. Some other tech parts where also laying around it.

Did Tim tinker with something or Was that Danny's doing?
Didn't Tim only tinker in the nest nowadays?

Just as she made herself comfortable in the kitchen and opened her bag of waffle mixture. She is heard a crash from the living room.

"Ancients dam it. I know you miss her, Johny. But I haven't figured out a way back. And if you fight me again it will take longer!" A glowing teenager shouted.

"Good if you would help it would be faster. Lady Gotham is getting more aware of my presence here. That could cause also troubles. So keep her destrac-" The teen cut himself of as he noticed Steph entering the living room.

"Hello there" Steph greeted.

The teen sighed "Did I get into the wrong apartment? This is Tim's apartment right?"

"Yeah, I am just here for a visit. Are you his new roommate?" Steph cheerfully continued. Tucking away what she overheard for later.

"Y- No I am just Danny's friend" he almost slipped up.

"Well I am Steph. A friend of Tim's and basically family" she introduced herself.

"Oh I am Phantom, nice to meet you" Phantom smiled sheepishly while rubbing the back of his neck.

"Do you want to help me make waffle for when Tim and his roommate are back?" Steph questioned.

He snapped his head glaring at something besides her. His smile completely vanished for only a second.

Before he looked back at her with a smile "Sure I can help"

Steph needed to instruct him in every step since he never made some. Phantom reasoning for never making waffle is the fear of them coming alive and trying to eat him instead.

And isn't that just devastating.

While she finished the last waffle Phantom excused himself to the bathroom.

She also heard the front door unlocking. Tim was back hopefully with Danny in toe.

"Tim you got the right timing the waffles are ready!" Steph shouted cheerfully from the kitchen.

"Why did you have to show up this early in the morning?" She heard a rader disgruntled voice reply to her.

As Tim made it into the kitchen he looked dead tired.

He lazily asked "Have you seen Danny?"

"No but his friend Phantom helped me with the waffles. Can you believe that he never made his own waffles his entire life!?"
Steph exclaimed in disbelief.

"Hey guys!" Danny greeted also striding into the kitchen.

"Danny! If you sleep snatch me in the middle of work again. My employees will riot against you!" Tim warned.

Danny just tilted his head. Before a wide smirk spread on his face.

"I mean they can try" Danny shrugged.

"See Steph this is what I have to deal with" Tim gestured dramatically to Danny as if to make a point.

"You seem tired" Danny observed.

"No shit, you are terrible at your job" Tim exclaimed.

"Well it's my first job I ever had" Danny rubbed the back of his neck again.

"Hey guys have you seen Phantom? It's been awhile now and he hasn't come back from the bathroom." Steph voiced her worry.

"Oh he had some stuff to take care of so he left" Danny explained.

"But he didn't even try one waffle" She was sad.

If you make waffles it's important to try them!

"You guys made waffles?" Danny asked like he didn't already know.

"I just gonna make a coffee" Tim whispered to himself.

"Yeah me and Phantom make some for breakfast" Steph nodded happily.

"Wait it's already breakfast time" Danny questioned.

"Yes" Tim hissed out while waiting for his coffee.

"Have you ever made waffles before Danny?" She asked like a predator.

"Nah most ingredients in the fridge were always ecto-contaminated. So we rarely ate at home" Danny declared nonchalant. While getting a glass of water.

"What's ecto-contaminated?" Tim asked finally seeming interested in the conversation.

"Oh it's someone or something that absorb ecto energy" Danny explained.

"So what happened to the ingredients?" Steph inquired.

"They mostly come alive and try to kill you" Danny shrugged and putting away his empty glass.

Tim sighed in resignation while Steph was stunned in silence.

They eaten the waffles in relative silence.

Before Steph pipes up again "So how did you two meet?"

"I fell asleep on him in the middle of the street" Danny responded between bites.

Tim just nodded in response and taking a sip of coffee.

"You don't seem from Gotham where are you from?" She questions.

"Amity Park Illinois. Those are some damn good waffles!" He exclaims.

She nods proudly " They are my favorite mixture type"

"She is always crazy after waffles..." Tim command's.

"Why did you come to Gotham of all places" Steph asked.

"It was unintentionally. Got sneak attack when I didn't get enough sleep. I was lucky that the gun only got me here and didn't erase me from existence entirely" Danny mused.

"Danny, was that the guns original purpose?" Tim asked sounding so done with everything.

"I guess so, thought they would rather have it just stunned me enough for them to be able to study me" Danny nodded along as if it was completely normal.

"I can see now why you warned me" Steph chuckles awkwardly.

Chapter Text

After all waffles have been devoured:
Since today was Tim day of Stephanie decided to stick around.

They started to watch movies in the living room together.
Which some how ended up with Tim falling asleep on Danny's lap.

Danny absentmindedly pets his head while concentration on the movie.

Steph was most astonished by how Tim completely forgot half of his coffee. That was still in his cup.

"And it's really your first time watching these movies? They are like classics" She asked.

"Yeah, normally I don't have time to watch movies" he gave her a sad glance.

"What did you usually do for fun when you had the time?" Steph questioned.

"Mostly just playing Doom with my friends, but I don't know when I will see them again" Danny answered sounded home sick.

"What are there names? Maybe we can find them for you" she inquired.

"Sam and Tucker, but you wouldn't find them they are like a shot of energy away. That I haven't figured out yet" He looked down at Tim and fiddled with Tims hair.

"Its crazy how easily Tim fell asleep on you" Steph commented.

"Really? I just do what my friends did to make me sleep" Danny explained.

"We had so much trouble getting Tim to sleep after he joined the family and I wasn't even there yet. I heard stories of how they needed to drug him to get him to sleep" she smiled fondly.

"Ew that sucks, do not recommend like 3 out of 10" Danny nodded with understanding.

"You have been drugged to sleep before?" Steph asked curiously.

"Yeah was another attempt by the fruit loop to adopt me, but it's definitely not the worst way to get knocked out" Danny concluded.

"Then what is in your experience the worst way to get knocked out?" She inquired.

"Poison definitely, hurts like hell and knocks you right out after. Luckily it doesn't exist here" he smiles sheepishly.

"Why have you been poisoned?" Her eyes widened slightly.

"Yeah dad forced me to drink it once for my own protection. Good that he never really noticed that it worked some what right" he mused.

"Why would you want to go back to them? Aren't they the ones to get you stuck here in the first place?" She demanded angry on his behalf.

"... I am the only protection, they got" Danny admitted.

"Danny, let me be clear with you. You shouldn't protect your abusive parents or whomever hurt you so much that it seems normal to you. In my opinion you should stay with Tim. You guys made a great couple" Steph declared.

"What do you mean couple? I mean we are a couple of friends, if you mean that" he said thought fully.

Steph chuckles "I mean couple in like romantically"

"Wait are you telling me it is normal here for a guy to date a guy????" Danny realized wide eyed.

"Do you have something against gay people?" Steph tilted her head.

Danny blinked confused.

"I only ever seen guys date girls, how would that even work?" Danny looked pleadingly for her to explain.

She chuckles again. How is he so clueless?

Steph explained it as best to her ability. Which was even more funny when she mentioned lesbians. It looked like it blow his mind.

When she was completely done with her explanations Danny yawned.

"Do you want to cuddle with us?" Danny asked despite the topic beforehand.

Danny picked sleeping Tim up bride style and waited for an answer.

"Is that how you get him to sleep?" She smirked.

Danny nodded before walking to the bedroom.

"Come" was the last thing before he made Tim and himself comfortable in the the bed. Cuddling.

And she just had to join in.

Chapter Text

This time Tim came home with some more coffee in hand.
He had a new cold case file he needed to work on. To be more specific it was a murder case.

Now if his luck was on his side Danny wouldn't drag him to bed as soon as he entered his apartment. He really needed to drill a schedule into Danny for his job.

Sighing one last time, before he opened his apartment door. He was greeted by loud talk. Did Phantom visit them again?

"I know, but I was to distracted that I finally got all the parts" Danny voice sounded annoyed.

"No you cannot come home with me that is to dangerous for you" Danny declared after a pause.

Spotting him pacing in the living room, he was surprised to find him bleeding with a black eye.

"It is bad enough that the bigger ghost now know I am here. You know if I only have the last part of the blue prints I would be home already! At least in theory" Danny rambled on to himself????

There was no one else in the apartment. So he must have been talking to himself. Right?

"Danny, What happened to you?" Tim questioned concerned.

Danny stopped his frustrated pacing to look in Tim's direction.

"Welcome home how was work?" Danny put on one of those fake smiles and obviously tried to change the subject.

Tim put his coffee on the coffee table and made his way over to Danny. Grabbing him by the shoulder and checking if he had anywhere else injuries.

Danny flinched as he didn't expect the contact.

"Tim, I am fine. I had worst to deal with than this" Danny tried to use the same placating tactic he used on his friends.

"I will get the first aid kit" Tim declared.

"No you don't need to it will be all good in a day or two" Danny Said pleadingly.

Tim just gave him a 'are you kidding me' look before continuing to get the first aid kit.

"No I won't tell him. He safer just doing his own job. I don't want him to end up like Sam and Tucker" Danny again seem to be responding to someone. Thinking Tim didn't pay attention.

Tim came back to see Danny in a contaminating position on the the couch.

"Do you have any other wounds other than the pretty deep cut on your arm and the black eye?" Tim questioned.

"Noo?" He seemed unsure. Danny looked away in shame while Tim addressed his still bleeding cut wound.

"Who were you talking to?" Tim asked keeping all his attention on the wound.

"A ghost that decided to follow me around" Danny murmured.

"And what cut you? That's not a normal knife cut those do not get that deep and nobody here Gotham has giant swords that Could do that" Tim was worried and needed to make sure he knows who did this.

Danny looked up to Tim asking bewildered " you don't care that a ghost is here?"

Tim furrowed his brows confused, that he is concerned by that of all things. Like he should be more concerned about his injury that was still bleeding cut when he came home for who knows how long.

"Why should I be worried about it? It's not one of the Gotham rouges is it?" He questioned back.

Danny chuckles took Tim attention away from a moment. Looking at Danny's grinning face, Tim smiled back sheepishly.

"I am supposed to tell you, you offered her greatly" Danny said with clear amusement.

"So who Attacked you?" Tim asked once more.
Danny bit his lips as he contemplated his next words.

"It was also a ghost, I think they felt threatened by my presence" Danny rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"Why would they feel threatened by your presence?" Tim inquired.

"I am guessing it- it's because my parents are ghost hunters, but I am not sure myself" Danny mused as he flinched by the alcohol touching his cut.

Other wise he made not any sound of pain the whole stitching his cut up, only quiet hissing and flinches. As if he had trained himself to make as little noise as possible and wasn't that another point of concern.

So his parents are Ghost hunters that also study ghosts. Why would they attack there own child? Tim though to himself.

"Did your parents think you are a ghost?" Tim questioned.

Danny stared wide eyed at Tim.

"N-... Yes, They did" Danny looked down at his hands and fiddled with the end of this T-shirt. (That was definitely stolen out of Tim's closet)

Tim sighed "do you want to go out for dinner?"

"Yeah that sounds nice" Danny agreed with a faint smile coming back on his face.

Chapter Text

Stephanie would have never guessed how comfortable it is to sleep in a cuddle pile.

But due to Danny's intervention she knew now.

Danny was definitely excellent in making you so comfortable while cuddling that you will fall asleep. It is almost scary how easy it was for him to just get them to sleep.

Danny is definitely the solution to getting Tim to sleep. So they needed to keep him with them as long as possible.

13:34
Steph: We need to keep Danny at all costs!

Barbara: How is he?

Damion: who is this Danny?

Steph: he is Tim new roommate and he got Tim to forget about his coffee

Duke: wow isn't that super hard to do?

Steph: Tim fallen asleep on Danny in front of me!?

Barbara: How!?

Steph: Just petted him to sleep in his lap, like a cute couple.

Dick: Wait Danny is now together with Tim? Wasn't he still super focused on getting home?

Steph: I wish they were, but Danny doesn't understand the concept of gay.

Duke: How can't he know about it in this economy? Isn't it like topic teenager talk all the time?

Steph: I know right, he is so clueless about it.

Dick: did he say anything else like alarming?

Steph: oh yeah, something about a gun intended to erase him from existence. But it brought him to Gotham instead.

Barbara is typing...

Dick is typing...

Damion: what made him so special that someone wanted to erase him from existence?

Barbara: We are not letting him go back home. From the files I got from Tim, I completely agree that keep him here would be better for both us and him.

Duke: really that bad?

Tim: jep that bad. Also keep an eye out for him he is coming home injured and won't tell me who did it. The only thing he said that it was a ghost.

Dick: why would his own parents want to erase there own child existence!?

Duke: His parents shot at him!?

Steph: hey do guys know anyone named Lady Gotham? Phantom Danny's friend mentioned her. Being like a problem or something.

Tim: Send what exactly he said.

Steph: sure, he also has been poisoned apparently

Damion: what kind of poison?

Steph: didn't say the exact type, but to his description it hurt like hell and knocked him out after.

Tim: what code name did he use this time bully, ghost or the fruit loop?

Steph: it was in an attempt to adopt Danny by the fruit loop

Tim: no wonder he hates adoption.

Dick: oh B will have a hard time with that.

Tim: No B will not adopt Danny, I needed to promise him that after he had a panic attack.

Steph: but he is like the spitting image of adoption bait.

Barbara: I am with Tim if he had a panic attack about it.

Tim: also Steph we are not a couple. He is a sleep devil I couldn't betray my coffee.

Steph: definitely, not like I have seen it with my own eyes or anything.

Dick: maybe someone should watch what Danny does outside of Tim's apartment. Other than sleep snatching Tim of course.

Tim: mostly collecting parts for his gun I assume.

Steph: do you mean the hair dryer on the counter?

Dick: why would he make a hair dryer of all things?

Cass: new brother?

Tim: I don't know why he calls it a gun, also Cass he isn't going to get adopted.

Damion: Father as adopted enough children as it is he doesn't need more.

Steph: yes Cass new brother!

Tim: no he will ruin your sleep schedule! The Wayne Enterprise Employees are literally about to start a riot about him.
And I have a feeling he would drive Bruce into insanity.

Cass: New brother :)

Barbara: bad news guys there was a Arkham break out.

Chapter Text

Tim had known at this point it was just a matter of time.
But it still sucked when the roughs broke out of Arkham.

Mad Hatter, the Riddler were the most problematic to escape this time.

Point is they need to be caught before They did there stick again.

His line of thought was interrupted by a frantic Danny showing more cuts then yesterday.

Other employees were running after him he was at work afterall.

"Tim! Tim! Where do I get a cupcake!?" Danny shouted between panting.

The odd request had stunned Tim for a moment. He thought for sure he was here to sleep snatch him again.

While dodging the employees, he looked around with more precision then normally.

"Tim pls, I don't want to end up in tiny pieces today. Where do I get cupcakes!?" Danny pleaded.

"Leave our CEO alone!" One employee called out.

"Have you checked the coffee shops? They usually have some" Tim said calmly. Thought inside he was a complete whirl wind.

Who cut Danny again? Was it the same person as last time?
Why would he need cupcakes of all things????

All of that questioning was stopped when Danny suddenly jumped out of the 4 story window.

With only a "thanks, bye!"

Both Tim and his employees ran frantic to the window.
But there was no one.

The street below didn't show the dead body of Danny.

Tim groans. He did his disappearing act again. Didn't he.

I swear Danny is going to be the death of me. Tim thought to himself.

When he came home that day it was to Danny's frantic rambling.

"What do you mean the box ghost is here to now!? It's bad enough that she decided us her enemies, for just wanting to leave" Danny was pacing.

Tim remembered Steph telling him that Phantom did that as well.
The topic seems also be the same as What was Phantom talking about.

Someone noticed them and now they are in trouble.
Who Lady Gotham, Johnny and Box Ghost was Tim didn't know.

He needed to get ready for tonight to get the Riddler and the Mad Hatter back into Arkham.

"What are my parents thinking!?" Danny exclaimed agitated.

"I mean you are kind of right it was one of there goals, but guys they also wanted to study us" Danny explained to once more silence.

As soon as Tim came in, Danny locked eyes with him.

"I am back and you're still bleeding" Tim grimmest.

There was a long moment of silence.

Before Danny put on his usual smile and sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck.

"Welcome back Tim and yeah I kind of forgot about the cuts. Thanks for the cupcake advice" Danny looked at his cuts.

Sighing Tim said "Did you really have to jump out of the 4 story window?"

"Well the normal way was blocked" Danny reason shrugging like what can you do.

"I am getting the med kit" Tim moved more into the apartment.

Danny bit his lip in annoyance.

Chapter Text

Danny needed a game plan. Of how to convince Lady Gotham to let him go home.

So was brain storming ideas with a printer paper he took form Tim's printer.

It was around 4 in the morning as someone stumbled into the apartment thought the window.

Danny looked up. There was Red Robin swaying to the living room couch. He was currently using.

Red Robin glance at him once before dropping on to the couch next to him.

"Hey Danny" He sounded very tired.

"Hey what brought you here? If you want to check on Tim he is probably in a coffee shop" Danny said as he concentrated back on brainstorming.

"Huh?" Red Robin looked down at himself "oh"

"Had a rough night?" Danny questioned.

"Yeah you can say that. We finally found the Riddler location, but he got away last second" Red Robin grumbled the last part.

"Yeah keeping rouges in check can suck like that sometimes" Danny agreed.

"Why are you not surprised, to me being here?" He questioned.

"I mean you helped Phantom find Tim so many times. We just guessed, you guys were friends or something" Danny mused absentmindedly.

"Good to know... What are you doing?" He looked at Danny's scribbled papers.

"Brainstorming" Danny answered.

"About threatening someone with candy?" Red Robin asked bewildered.

"Well it worked with Gida" Danny shrugged.

"Who are these threats and bribes even for?" He inquired after yawning.

"Lady Gotham, she won't let me go back home" Danny pouted.

"Do you know why? Like it would be easier to bribe someone of you know there reasoning" Red Robin commented.

"Well I can try to talk to her, but I don't want to be ripped apart again that sucked to regenerate" Danny complained.

Red Robin almost choked out of shear horrifying surprise.
Hiding it behind a cough.

"You have been ripped apart before?" He repeated.

Danny looked up from his paper into Tim's eyes though his masked.
He narrows his eyes at Red Robin.

"You seem tired, do you want me to help you sleep?" Danny observed.

Tim chuckled and smiled at Danny.

"You are the strangest person I live ever meet and that is saying something here in Gotham" Red Robin admitted.

Danny tilted his head in confusion "But you only meet me once"

"But Tim told me" he said grinning.

"You are one of the bats and birds right?" Danny suddenly asked.

"Yep" Red Robin nodded.

"She likes her bats and birds..." Danny murmured.

Turning his paper on his back he started to scribble frantically.
Danny's eyes literally sparkled when he came to a realization.

Danny turned to Red Robin "Do you want to help me get home?"

"Are you sure you want to go back?" He asked, still disturbed by everything Danny told him about his home.

Danny rolled his eyes and groaned in annoyance.

"Yes, they need me. And I would really like to prevent a war" Danny reasoned.

"A war?" Red Robin repeat.

"Yep you seem that you really are sleep deprived to the point of hearing problems" Danny declared and directed Red Robin by grabbing him to lay on his lap.

The smoothing motion of Danny petting him. It was shamefully be coming his greatest weakness.

As he drifted of to sleep.

Chapter Text

The pacing was like an alarm clock for a still groggy Red Robin.

He slowly opens his eyes and watches from the couch as Danny was pacing again.

"Why do I care you asked!? He pretty much is the only reason we got this far to go home" Danny quietly screeched.

"You know you could have just taken the parts you need and without him you would be faster" a bored male responded.

Tim didn't see where it was coming from.

"No, idiot I will not be hunted by humans here. You forgot how they love to interfere with anything out of there comfort zone.

And since this dimension has so many different heroes and if they mistake us as the problem. Getting home would be double as long"
Danny explained.

"I say we put the bats and birds in a box" another male voice sounded excited.

Danny meanwhile faceplates.

"Point is we need to make sure Tim isn't in any danger" Danny sighs in expiration.

Danny suddenly wiped around staring at the direction of his bookshelf.

"Not good" Danny commented before storming of to the kitchen.

Tim took that as the moment to sit upright and looking for where the voices might have come from.

While doing so he noticed his body ached. Looking down reviled he had sleep with his Red Robin suit.

Which made him panic at the idea that Danny had found out.
Or was he really that out of it yesterday?

Danny came back into the room with a cupcake in hand.

"Oh you are awake" Danny observed.

"Yeah, you- what did I do yesterday evening?" He questioned.

"Stumbled in and then you complained about some Riddler escaping" Danny relayed as he scanned the room with his eyes.

Tim could have sworn he heard a whisper of "if you weren't our only way home I would have smashed you to smithereens"

"Shhh" hissed Danny out.

"And then I just fell as-" Red Robin was cut of by some extremely loud squeaking of delight. As the cupcake vanished out of Danny's hand.

"What did you say, Red Robin?" Danny questioned turning to give all attention to him.

"What was that sound?" While trying to locate where it came from.

"That was Gida, she Loves cupcakes" Danny smirk.

"And where is this Gida?" Red Robin stared at Danny.

"She just left with her cupcake" Danny nodded.

Then something clicked in Tim's mind.

"Are they the ghosts you keep talking about?" Tim thought at first that Danny was just protective of his abusers. Giving them code names like bully, ghost and this fruit loop guy.

"Did Tim tell you?" Danny tilted his head while he asked.

"Yeah" Red Robin smiled sheepishly.

"Oh btw do you know where Tim is, he wasn't home all night. I even checked the coffee shop and his work place" Danny expectedly stared at Red Robin for an answer.

"Maybe he stayed over at his brother's place?" Why did Tim get goose bumps from that stare?

Danny glared anyway to an empty spot again and then back at Red Robin.

"There are still ghosts here aren't there?" Why did that bug him so much?

A person with grease hair shoulder long hair faded into visibility. He had a long gray coat on and finger less gloves.

He almost looked like a normal person. If it wasn't for his sickly skin color.

Danny just sighed in resignation.

And another small guy in overalls showed up right next to him.
His skin had a blueish tone.

Overalls Guy seemed to be inspecting him.

"Box Ghost leave the guy alone would you" Danny spoke up.

"But I need to figure out how to put him in a box" The Box Ghost reason.

"Boxes are not as intimidating as you think they are" Danny commented dryly.

"The welps, right. Boxes won't do shit against Gotham" said a metallic voice. As he looked the voice belonged to a robot with fiery hair.

That made the box ghost retreated depressed.

Danny looked to the bookshelf again, listening to a he guess other ghost.

"You are to weak kid, that's why he can't see you" Danny explained.

"So how exactly did you know they were here if they were invisible?" Red Robin asked.

"The ghost boy always knows where we are" The grease haired ghost said, shrugging.

"Especially in the living realm" the robot ghost nodded.

"Guys, we still need to find Tim" Danny tried to interject.

"I say we go on a hunt for all these bats and birds, we already got one" the robot ghost pointed at him.

Red Robin stood up in a defensive stance.

"That might actually work, threatening Gotham with her own knights" the grease hair ghost mused.

"GUYS! WE ARE NOT GOING TO HUNT THE BATS AND BIRDS!?" Danny shouted so loud that everyone turned to him.

Tim let his defense stance fall, but keep his body tense and ready for a fight.

"That's a sure fire of getting other heros involved. Now we need to find Tim and asked for help like normal people" Danny explained very agitated. His eyes glowed a menacing green just like Phantom's.

The grease hair guy now petted the pouting robot guy.

"Don't worry if the ghost boys plan fails we can always go back to your's" he comforted.

"Can we put them in a box after the hunt?" The Box Ghost chimed in.

"I swear I will build a Fenton Thermos, if you guys don't stop" Danny threatened.

Which made the ghosts widened there eyes, before they scattered.

"Sorry about them, can you lead me to dick's apartment?" Danny apologized on there behalf.

Chapter Text

Tim was in a pickle.

He didn't trust Danny enough to let him go alone to Dick. Why exactly he was thinking he was with Dick was also strange since Tim had multiple brothers.

But he wasn't putting a gift horse in his mouth. If Danny didn't know about his other brothers it would be better.

Tim also didn't trust Danny to just stay home and just let Phantom find him. Even if he told Phantom to do so, Phantom is to unpredictable, to unknown. To be certain that his identity wasn't revealed.

Danny had gotten injured more after his cuts that one evening.
Only that his injuries now looked like shark bites of all things.

Thought those dilemma's Tim realized Danny healed faster then normal for a human. That didn't help that it still bugged him.

But right now Danny demanded Red Robin lead him to Dick's apartment to find Tim.

It was almost time for him to show up as the CEO of Wayne Enterprise.

Red Robin groaned "fine, I will lead you to Dick's apartment. It's located in Blüdhaven. So it might take a while to get there"

Danny tilted his head in confusion "Blüdhaven?"

"Yeah it's a city near Gotham" Red Robin made his way to the door while fishing his phone out of one pocket on his belt.

He send a quick text to Barbara. So she can inform Tam of his absence. Before pocketing it again.

In the corner of Tim's eyes he also sah Danny pocket his hair dryer with excitement in his eyes.

"What?" Danny asked when he noticed Red Robins questioning look.

"Why are you talking that hair dryer with you?" He questioned.

"Might work outside of Gotham" Danny explained shrugging.

"And why might that be?" Red Robin asked as he walked out the door.

"It's outside of Lady Gotham's hunt, my guess is that she is somehow interfering with my gun making it useless. Or it's chemical bullets that I got wrong. Not 100% sure" Danny rambled on.

On the way to one of his hidden garages Tim noticed a cloud of cold air coming out of Danny's mouth. Which caused Danny to tense up and looked around them more frequently.

"Is everything okay?" Red Robin asked worriedly.

Danny snap his head with a crack back to Red Robin.

"Oh... Eh yeah" Danny rubbed his neck nervously.

"Are your ghost friends here again?" He inquired.

"No, I think they are keeping the lone sharks busy" Danny answered once more scanning there surroundings.

"You have lone sharks after you?" Red Robin thought that it would explain the resent cut wounds.

"No, they were just angry that I took there trash" Danny mumbled.

"You mean the hair dryer part right?... Danny?" When Red Robin turned Danny looked frozen in place. Staring directly in front of them.

Then there was laughter, it sounded deranged. Did Joker break out of Arkham in the last break out?

He was yanked back behind Danny.

"Did Gotham send you?" Danny questioned.

"Hihihi well hehe you won't leave hahaha" a voice rang out.

Danny greeted his teeth.

"You are hahaha nothing special hihihi here hahaha ghost child"

More maniac laughter sounded around them.
Almost as if it encased them. Which isn't possible.

"Leave Red Robin out of this, you know she will get mad if you hurt him" Danny threatened while talking steps back.

He bumped into Red Robin, before suddenly picking him up and running the opposite direction.

The laughter followed them as Danny became faster. It only seem to stop after they entered Crime Ally.

Chapter Text

Danny Put Red Robin down in an empty Ally. Then drop lends against a brick wall panting. And metal cursing that he couldn't use his powers in front of Red Robin.

"That was a new one" Danny commented after calming his breathing.

"Was... That another ghost?" Red Robin asked. He didn't want to deal with Joker again.

"Yep, didn't get his name though. Was laughing to much to understand him" Danny concluded.

Red Robin sighed in relief. No Joker then good.

"Why did you bring us to Crime Ally?" He questioned while looking around.

"Huh? I just ran into someone else hunt. Hopefully they won't come after us" Danny mumbled the last part almost inaudible

"What do you mean by hunt?" Red Robin inquired.

"Like a ghosts home that they claim and like hunt, like haunted houses you know." Danny answered while picking himself of the wall.

"Do you know the ghost who lives here?" He integrated.

"Na I only know the once that got shot here by my parents and Gida. It's good that they haven't shot Vlad here. Maybe I should really make a Fenton Thermos" Danny mused.

"What is a Fenton Thermos?" They started to make there way out of the Alley.

"It's to capture ghosts" Danny looked around the corner to make sure of something.

There were people mingling about there day. Some gave strange stares. Probably due to still wearing his Red Robin suit in bright Daylight.

Luckily they keep to themselves, mostly. Only some whispered how strange it was to see a bird in the day time.

Danny didn't seem to care and walked up to a couple of strangers to ask for directions to the nearest coffee shop.

"Why are we going to a coffee shop?" Red Robin questioned as they continued walking.

"I am tired, haven't slept all night. Got annoyed by the ghosts. So we are getting some coffee" Danny declared.

A grin spread over Red Robin's Face as he heard that.

So now they were sitting in a booth of a coffee shop named coffee toffee, located in Crime Alley.

Just enjoy there coffees. When a agitated Jason stormed in.

"What are you doing here Red Robin" Jason seared while hitting his hand on the table they were sitting at. To intimated them.

Danny tilted his head in confusion.

"Danny brought me here" Red Robin pointed at Danny and shrugged.

Jason's attention turned to Danny who still looked confused.

"Why do you feel like a ghost?" Danny asked.

Making Red Robins whites of his mask widened in surprise.

"What the fuck do you mean?" Jason got more angry.

Danny ignored the question and snatched Jason wrist. Forcing Jason to sit beside him in there booth.

"Strange" Danny declared and turning his attention back to his coffee.

Jason looked to Red Robin for answer's, but he just shrugged.

"What your name? I am Danny" Danny introduced himself.

"My name is Jason. Why did you just check my pulse?" Jason asked.

"To make sure you aren't a ghost" Danny nodded to himself.

"And why is he strange?" Red Robin piped in.

"I have never meet anyone that has the same energy as a ghost in a human form" Danny took a sip of coffee.

Chapter Text

Jason wasn't expecting to be violently woken up by the pit of all things. It never did that before.

But now he was woken up by a green vision and his head screaming about something entering his territory.

It was both causing him a huge headache and to make him fall out of his bed.

"Shut up!" Jason shouted to himself.

Now at least it was more quiet, but definitely still bugging him.
Looking at his clock it was 9:44 o'clock.

Why did he awake so fucking early?

He huffed in irritation got up of the floor and got ready for the day.
Jason was annoyed when it got increasingly louder again.

So to make it finally shut up. He followed it's direction to the coffee toffee. Only to spot one Red Robin sitting there in full suit with a civilian.

After demanding why Red Robin was here he pointed to the civilian.

He was again caught off guard by Danny (said civilian) dragging him into his both. With surprising strangth for his twig like stature.

And finding out he had Ghosts energy??? What was all that about?
At least the pit went quiet.

"So what exactly does that mean?" Jason questioned.

Danny looked back at him and shrugged.

"I don't know. I would need to ask Frostbite. But he is at home so can't reach him right now" Danny explained.

"Who is Frostbite?" Red Robin asked.

"A Ghost, that lives in the Far Frozen" Danny nodded taking another sip of his coffee.

"Do you mean the pit?" Why the fuck did he just asked that. Jason questioned himself.

Danny tilted his head in confusion. "What kind of pit?"

"Lazarus pit, like green bubbling and glowing water" Well maybe Jason will get something out of this.

"You guys have ectoplasm pits here?" Danny looked back at his coffee.

Red Robin almost spit his precious coffee out. He started wide eyed at Danny after catching himself.

"Not the strangest thing I heard off" Danny mused.

"What is ectoplasm? Like from the Ghost movies?" Jason continued his interagation.

"It's what ghost are made of" Danny answered.

"Is the Lazarus pit a ghost?" Red Robin asked.

"I don't think so. Ghosts use different forms. Like the laughing one he had like 5 different head laughing and smiling but otherwise a human like appearance" Danny explained.

"Why was that one not visible like, your ghost friends?" Red Robin inquired.

"Oh the ghost here in Gotham don't like to be seen" Danny commented.

"How do you know so much about Ghosts?" Jason inquired.

"Growing up with ghosts hunters and being hunted basically every day by ghosts can do that to you" Danny did a what can you do motion.

"Why did they hunt you?" Jason questioned.

"Is this your territory by any chance?" Danny gestured outside.

"Ehm yeah?" Jason was caught off guard by the sudden topic change.

Red Robin narrows his eyebrows at Danny and types something into his Phone.

"Do you know the best way to leave Gotham from your hunt?" Danny took the last sip of his coffee.

"My hunt?" Jason repeated.

"What do you guys always have with repeating what I say????" Danny said frustrated. "You guys should really look for a hearing doctor" he huffed.

Red Robin and Jason shared a look of sheepish embarrassment.

Chapter Text

Tim texting at 10:11 in the morning. While Jason and Danny talked.

Tim: when we are at your place. Tell Danny I was out getting coffee in n the area.

Dick: Hey Tim. Wait you guys coming over to Blüdhaven???

Tim: yeah I need to make sure he makes it there without any more attacks.

Dick: you guys got attacked!? By who?

Tim: A Ghost according to Danny.

Dick: how long until you get here?

Tim: if Jason let's me burrow his bike like 1 and a half hour. If not like between 3 hours to 5 hours.

Dick: your with Jason?

Tim: Danny carried me to Crime Ally.

Looking between Jason and Danny, he noticed Danny avoided telling the reason why the ghosts really attacked in the first place.
He seemed to be clearly getting more uncomfortable with how the conversation was going.

Jason feeling to Danny like a ghost was also interesting.
So another meta ability to Danny's list.

He could stop his heart anytime he wanted.
Danny is had super strength and was fast. Tim hasn't figured out how fast exactly.

He could see and interact with ghosts and apparently feel them.

And had a slightly cooler body temperature.
Tim noticed, due to the summer starting with its terrible heatwaves.

He really is happy the heatwaves haven't started yet. But still it was getting hotter.

Tim and Jason shared a sheepish look after being reminded of there habit, they got from B.

Danny then jumped out of his seat over Jason and started dragging both out of the booth. They were sitting in.

"Come on, just show us where the best way outside of Gotham from your territory is" Danny was very impacted.

"Why do you have a hair dryer with you?" Jason noticed on Danny's belt.

They were dragged out completely out of the coffee toffee, before Danny answered " to test a theory, why else? Now where do we need to go?"

Jason pointed out a direction and off Danny went. Jason and Red Robin walked a bit behind them.

"Why are you still in your suit?" Jason asked.

"Forgot about it last night and went straight to the apartment Danny was living with me" Red Robin whispered back. That was really embarrassing.

"And he hasn't figured it out yet?" Jason chuckles bemused.

"Luckily not otherwise he had long since interrupted our missions. By dragging me back home to sleep at random times" Tim was so frustrated that Danny still didn't understand the fucking schedule.

"How long does he live with you now?" He questions.

"Almost a month now" Red Robin sighed.

"Hey Danny, We should stop at my place" Jason called out.

"Huh Why?" Danny stopped his pace and turned around to give Jason a questioning look.

"Red Robin here is to noticable. That would attract more trouble here in Crime Alley. In the day time" Jason explained.

Danny narrows his eyes at Red Robin for a moment before looking around.

"Oh yeah, that would be a good idea" Danny commented.
And started to glare at anyone who looked there direction strangely.

They followed Jason to one of his safe house's.

Danny looked curiously around and noticed someone's gun's laying around.

Tim went in search for a hoodie he could put over his suit and some pants.

"Are these normal guns?" Danny asked while picking one up to inspect it.

"Yeah, why wouldn't they be normal once?" Jason questioned.

"Oh I have like only ever seen ghost hunter guns" Danny was very tempted to just take it apart.

"What's the difference between them?" Jason inquired.

"Well firstly they are powered by ectoplasm, like that's there projectile as well. Is this one just bullets?" Danny questioned.

"They shot the Lazarus water!?" Jason was very uncomfortable with that idea.

"Well normal ghost hunter guns like the Fenton Blaster yeah. But that are more than just that. The Fenton bazooka is also another example" Danny recounted though fully.

Tim walked over as soon as he noticed Danny had a gun in his hands and promptly took it away. Danny gave him a defeated puppy look.

"No, you are not allowed to shot yourself with that gun" Red Robin declared.

Jason looked wide eyed with surprise between both of them.

"I am not that stupid. I know that a normal gun won't bring me home" Danny complained.

"Why would you shot yourself?" Jason sounded very alarmed.

"Agh I am not shooting myself. I never said I would do that in the first place" Danny grabbed.

"Yes you did. You said that would shot yourself with the same invention you parents got you here in the first place" Red Robin looked sceptical though his masked at Danny.

"Hold up you got shot at by your parents and you want to return to them?" Jason questioned bewildered.

Danny turned to Jason "Yes I am the only protection they got. Also it didn't kill me completely the first time it hit. Why would it kill me now?" The second part was directed at Red Robin.

Tim was stunned once more.

"Kill you completely?" Jason questioned.

Danny gulped like he had just been caught. He looked between Red Robin and Jason.

"Don't worry about it I just misspoke" Danny sounded very nervous and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Danny... We won't attack you. So can you tell us" Red Robin calmly encouraged.

"But what about Tim?" Danny asked.

Jason snorted at how worried Danny sounded about the person right next to him.

"His real reason why he went to Dick was that you were driving him crazy by not using the schedule he gave you" Red Robin sounded confident.

"What schedule?" Danny looked dumfounded at Red Robin.

Which made Tim sigh.

Chapter Text

Jason did realize at some point of interacting with Danny that he feels familiar in a strange way. Like Jason didn't know him before today and jet...

He doesn't have an explanation for it. Maybe it has to do with the Lazarus pit Danny basically sensed on him.

The pits were also acting strange. They were angry at Danny just being here. But to fearful to do anything.

So Danny intrigued him. He didn't really pay attention when the other were chatting about him. To annoyed to be added Once more with consend.

But now he kind of regretted that.

It was obvious Danny was hiding something. To fearful of there reaction to out himself.

It definitely had something to do with death.

Jason watched bemused. As Tim (still in his suit with a hoodie over in) explained the schedule to Danny. That Danny have seemed to have lost somewhere.

"But what if he still looks tired!" Danny Loudly protest.

"Then go for it" Jason smirked.

Red Robin glared menacingly at Jason, before sighing in defeat.

"Did Tim look tired all the time you snatched him?" Red Robin turned back to Danny who was grinning.

"I don't really know. sometimes yeah. Other times I was to tired to really get a good look" Danny mused.

Jason chuckles at the hopeless sleep deprived duo.

"When did you last sleep?" Red Robin asked with a forced calmness to it.

"3 or 4 Days ago" Danny replied shrugging.

Jason choked as he started full on laughing.

"Jason, we are staying here until Danny sleeps" Red Robin declared.

"Noooo, I need to test my theory. And get Tim!" Danny whined and looked pleadingly at Jason.

"I am with Red Robin here, you need to sleep" Jason grinned after his laughter calmed down.

"But-" Danny started but got cut off.

"No, sleep" Red Robin demented pointing at the couch.

Danny looked at both of them like a kicked puppy and made his way to the couch.

Tim pulled out his phone and typed to Dick. Probably letting him know that they won't come.

"Oh another gun" Danny said. Finding it behind a pillow.

"NO!" Tim snatched it from him immediately.

Putting it on the coffee table with the other one he was still holding. So that Danny can't reach it and start pushing Danny on the couch to lay him on it.

"You know what if you sleep now I will get you Tim in the meantime" Red Robin bribed.

"Fine" Danny agreed.

"Watch him pls, Until I get Tim" Tim told Jason.

Jason understood the importance of secret identities, but Danny's obviousness is so funny.

"Yeah got it Replacement" Jason smirked.

After about 10 minutes of Red Robin gone Danny was out cold.
Jason looked into someone statistics of his drug dealers.

But the silence was bugging him. Danny shouldn't sleep that silenced.

Checking that Danny was okay. He noticed Danny had no pulse.

Normally he would have panicked and tried to restart his heart.
Thought the the pit was roaring to live.

So he was busy keeping it under control. Why the fuck did he have the craving to eat Danny!?

Then all of a sudden he was grabbed by Danny and snuggled onto the couch.

His eyes widened with how strong Danny was and the pit went completely silent.

Jason felt himself absorbing something. It was like something he desperately needed without knowing.

It made him sleepy.

Chapter Text

Knowing Danny he would sleep rather long. So Tim decided to check back in a bit later, then right after he changed out of his suit.

And instead showing up for work. But making sure that Tam and the other knew he needed to leave early.

Otherwise Danny would do something worrying for sure.
They didn't want to repeat the jumping out of the window incident.

When he entered Jason apartment it was strangely silent. He almost thought he went into the wrong safe house.

But they were both laying in front of the couch sleeping.

Jason looked so clingy that Tim just needed to make a picture. For blackmail of course.

Deciding to wake up Jason first only got him hissed at.

"Jason wake up" Tim demanded after shaking him didn't work.

Tim went stiff when he sees Jason squint at him with glowing green eyes. Taking a step back in other surprise.

"Tim?" Jason questioned looking back at at Danny.

Jason still glowing eyes widened and he pushed himself away from Danny. Hitting his back on the coffee table at the sudden movement.

Groaning in pain he just stared at Danny with a complicated expression.

"You calm now?" Tim asked to make sure. Still ready to defend himself if need be.

"What are you talking about?" Jason looked back at Tim, standing up.

"Your eyes are glowing green" Tim explained.

"They are!?" Was the last thing said before he ran to the bathroom.

Tim looked in the direction he ran to. Before jumping at the sudden sound of Danny breathing. As short as it was it scared the shit out of Tim.

"Danny?" Tim shook Danny lightly.

"5 more minutes jazz" Danny mumbled.

"Tim, they won't stop glowing" Jason sounded like at the start of a panic attack.

Tim winced as he looked up at Jason, from where he was kneeling besides a still sleeping Danny.

"Maybe... Maybe Danny might have answers to what happened?" Tim sounded placating.

"Danny wake up!" Jason shouted desperate for answer's.

Danny shot up at a sitting position and looking around for an attack.

"Huh, Why are your eyes glowing?" Danny observed.

Jason started pacing. "I don't know, you grabbed me and I passed out"

"If you clam" Danny yawned mid his sentence "down, it will probably stop glowing"

"Why did it start in the first place though?" Tim questioned.

"Tim!" Danny literally jumped at Tim and hugging him so tight that he couldn't breath.

Tim pleaded "Danny. I. Can't. Breath."

Danny finally let go looking him over worriedly. "I am so sorry, I forgot you need that"

"Danny. What the fuck did I absorb?" Jason asked sternly.

"Oh ehm I think some of my ectoplasm" Danny shrugged and walked around Tim to make extra sure he wasn't hurt.

"Ectoplasm as in Lazarus water. Why do you got that shit in you!?" Jason gestured at Danny frantically.

Danny just rubbed the back of his neck nervously. Then he looked between Tim and Jason.

Danny pointed at Tim sternly "You won't tell Red Robin what I am telling you now"

Tim looked dumfounded at Danny and nodded.

Then Danny turned back to Jason "I am a halfa"

Both Jason and Tim looked stunned.

"What's a halfa?" Tim asked.

"Someone half human and half ghost, or like alive and dead" Danny nodded to himself.

"How is that even possible?" Tim question's.

"What has that to do with fucking Lazarus water in you?" Jason questioned bewildered.

"Ghosts are made out of ectoplasm, I am half off one so it's normal that it's fused with my DNA" Danny explained.

"Why did I want eat you?" Jason asked hysterically.

Danny blinked at him caught off guard.

"You want to eat me? Well that's a new one" Danny mused.

"Hold up, how are you both dead and alive" Tim inquires.

"I don't know man it just happened one moment an interdimensional portal open on top of you and the next you know you are a half ghost" Danny just did a what can you do motion.

Tim grabbed Danny's shoulders and started him into his eyes.

"Danny that's not normal" Tim said in the most serious way Danny had ever heard him.

Danny tilted his head confused. Tim just hugged him.

Chapter Text

As wholesome as the scene was in font of Jason, it didn't calm him down. He was still pacing trying to rap his head around what he just learned.

How did he not have a pit rage episode if his eyes where glowing!?

The only thing he heard from it was the craving for more. Which Creeped in him as the wish to eat Danny once more.

It's like a constant buzzing that tries to get as close as possible to Danny.

He didn't like it. Jason needed to stay as far as possible from Danny.

If Danny is a half Ghost. What is he, some fucked up version?
Did the Lazarus pit really make him into something Ghostly?

"Fuck, Danny what am I?" Jason blurred it out.

"I am guessing a starving Halfa, but I am not a Ghost doctor so I got no clue" Danny explained while trying to fight of Tim's hug.

In Danny opinion 5 minutes are enough for a hug. Other than if there a emotional breakdown, but we don't talk about that.

"Why would I be starving?" Jason questioned.

"Ung Tim it's fine it happened years ago. I don't know. Again I am not a ghost doctor" Danny replied agitated, duo to not getting out of Tim's hug.

He wasn't even gripping him that how was he still trapped.

"You are weaker than before" Tim observed.

Danny stiffed.

Why didn't he just go intangible? Tim shivered as he felt Danny move though his arms. Taking a step backwards.

Tim's eyes widened in surprise.

"Where could we find this Ghost doctor of yours?" Jason inquired.

"Frostbite lives in the Far Frozen of the Ghost Zone" Danny commented in a defensive stand. For if Tim tried to hug trap him again.

"Jason you said you absorb his ectoplasm. right?" Tim questioned.

"Yeah replacement I felt it, it was strangely relaxing" Jason recounted.

"Is that why you don't have super strength anymore?" Tim question's Danny.

"Wait I have what now!?" Danny shouted confused.

"You didn't know you had super strength before?" Tim asked tilting his head.

Danny in turn shrugged "so many different abilities come and go, we just gave up on it after a while"

"Wait what?" Tim blue screened.

"How do we get to this Ghost Doctor?"Jason asked sternly.

"We would need to build a new Portal or wait for Wulf to visit" Danny replied easily.

"I am guessing you don't know when this Wulf guy shows up?" Jason stated.

"Yeah, but he is the only one who could open a portal here. The man made ones suck and will probably cause more ghosts coming here to cause chaos. And that's a pain to deal with. I am really happy that none of the Ancients got shot here" Danny started to ramble.

"Who are the Ancients?" Tim questioned.

"Hm like Clockwork, Pandora, Frostbite. But they are the ones that never really leave the Zone. Then there is Overgrowth, Nocturn and Vortex" Danny listed all of them.

"Pandora? Like from Pandoras box?" Jason inquired.

"Oh yeah, she hates it when people steal her box" Danny nodded.

"Wait, we gone of topic. What if we make a portal go to this Ghost doctor and destroy it after we are back?" Jason looked hopeful.

"The only way I know to destroy a portal is a giant explosion, duo to not changing the ecto filter" Danny explained.

"How big exactly?" Tim asked.

"Like a whole castle" Danny giggled at the memory of hearing Vlad complain about it. It was his own fault after all.

"And this doctor knows more about Jason's condition?" Tim makes sure.

"Yeah, definitely" Danny chirped happily.

Chapter Text

Tim had not expected Danny to know someone, that could fix the pit rage. When he came to Jason apartment he was expecting to just get Danny home to his apartment.

Not starting on a plan to open a portal to go to a Doctor.

Danny clearly had some effect on Jason. Tim still couldn't warp his head around the half ghost revival. It just made no sense.

It doesn't explain how he heals fast or has super strength.
He could coincide on the no heart beat and rearly breathing part.

On the way back to there apartment Danny grumbled "don't disappear like that ever again. Leave me a massage or something so I know you are safe"

Tim chuckled at the pouting Halfa.

"Well at least you can follow the schedule now" Tim commented.

Danny tilted his head to the sky and groaned.
The sun was already setting. As a sudden scream rang out.

Danny stopped walking and turned into the direction of the scream.
Tim noticed Danny's eyes flash green for a second. Before he stormed of.

Tim ran after him shouting "Danny!"

Tim cursed there luck after seeing the Mad Hatter turn around to face them. The girl beside him looked doll like, just standing and staring into nothing.

"Oh what do we have here?" The Mad Hatter questioned.

Tim immediately sent a short text to Barbara. To let her know they have encountered the rough.

"What did you do to her?" Danny asked. Seemingly completely unaware of the danger.

"Oh you mean Alice? She just had struggles accepting my invitation to a tea party" Mad Hatter answered.

"Danny we should leave" Tim couldn't let The Mad Hatter mind control Danny.

Danny is an unknown powerhouse, that could be complete destruction if Mad Hatter got his hands on him.

"If she doesn't want to go to your tea party then let her go" Danny demanded.

"But Alice wants to go, right Alice?" He turned to her.

"Yes I do" She said sounding monotone.

"I have a fun idea. Why don't you two join our tea party" Mad Hatter smiled menacing at them both.

"Do you over coffee as well?" Danny asked as if he was considering it.

"Danny no we need to leave" Tim Stressed.

"Why would you want coffee at a tea party!?" Mad Hatter sounded enraged.

"Well I would keep me awake during such an boring party" Danny mused.

At that comment Mad Hatter was charging a hit in Danny's direction.

"You are a disgrace to all tea parties!" Mad Hatter screeched.

Danny just lazily dodged. "Just let her go man, she is clearly under some mind control and does suck"

More swings of hit came in Danny's direction. Danny didn't seem at all worried and dodged into the direction of Said Girl.

That was until a mind control card was thrown at Danny. Tim tried to intervene but couldn't risk showing of to much.

"Danny Watch out!" Tim shouted.

Danny caught the card with his fingers and inspected it for a moment. Before it went up in green flame.

Mad Hatter looked stunned. Tim took the opportunity to knock him out.

Danny in the meantime found a simulator card behind a hair clip on the girls head and burnt it to ashes to.

The girl sung down to the floor and looked up at him.

"Hey there are you okay?" Danny asked.

She took in her surroundings before answering "Y- yeah, thank you"

Danny looked surprised.

"There's no need to thank me, I just was in the area" Danny fiddled with his sleeve nervously.

He looked embarrassed? Why the hell would Danny feel embarrassed about a Thank you!?

While Tim was trying again to figure Danny out Spoiler jump down into the alley they were in.

"That is indeed Mad Hatter" She observed.

Danny light up at the distraction and ran over to Tim.

"Are you guys okay?" She asked.

"Yes, he wanted to throw another tea party" Tim answered.

Spoiler started to restrain The Mad Hatter with sip tied's. Danny bounced up and down excitedly.

"Are you one of the Heroes here?" Danny blurted out.

The girl came to them, said another small "thank you". Before going her own way.

"Yeah, I am Spoiler. Don't worry the police has been informed" she gestured to where Mad Hatter still was unconscious.

Danny went tense at the mentioning of police, but still smiled.

"Well it was nice meeting you, but we should probably go home" Danny said while pushing Tim out of the alley.

"Be careful out there you two" she called back smiling.

When they where out of ear shot Tim questioned "Why are you dragging me in the wrong direction?"

"What? Oh oh woops, Can you please lead the way?" Danny asked.

Tim chuckled "Sure I can"

Chapter Text

Tim had many unanswered questions about Danny and him being a half ghost didn't really answer any of them.

Like why did he get "shot" to Gotham?
Did the shot cause him to change dimension?
How did he come into contact with Lazarus water?
Why did the food in his home try to eat him?
Why would his own parents want to erase him from existence!?
Who is Lady Gotham? Is it a ghost?
Why does Danny have lone sharks after him?
Why did the ghost really attack him?
How do his powers make any sense to him being half ghost?
And again Where did he get Explosive burger sauces from!?

On Top of all the unanswered questions He needed to find a place for building a Portal and inform the others of said plan.

The only good news is that the other finally got the Riddler back to Arkham.

Today he woke up and noticed Danny hissing at the clock that had an alarm scheduled for his sleep snatching. That Tim gave him.

"Tim why a clock!?" Danny almost screeched hysterically.

"What's wrong with a clock?" Tim asked while walking to his coffee machine.

Danny hissed again at it. Tim still a bit groggy from sleeping giggled at his antics.

"Hey it's not funny that Cryptic Second knows I am here and won't bring me back home" Danny complained. (New insult acquired)

Tim just bursted out laughing and leaning on the kitchen counter to not fall over. He got cut of by another voice join the conversation. That he didn't register who it was.

"Don't bother with Clockwork, he probably just will laugh at you like this Tim here" when Tim looked over it was the same greasy haired ghost.

"Hey Johnny, Can you tell the others that we are going to make a Portal to the ghost zone" Danny explained sighing.

"Would that be faster than your stupid gun?" Apparently Johnny answered annoyed.

"I am guessing it would take at least 2 to 4 weeks" Danny glared menacingly at the clock.

"Btw another ghost got shot here" Johnny commented.

Tim is just blinking between them and listening until his coffee is ready.

"Oh who is it?" Danny asked finally looking at the Ghost in the room.

"One of the ectopuses" Johnny went to inspect Tim closer.

"They didn't cause any damage have they?" Danny questioned.

"Danny this boy looks like the one in that red get up" Johnny commented.

Tim went pale and slowly reached out for his coffee.

"You mean Red Robin? Hm, Tim is Red Robin your brother?" Danny asked seriously. Giving all his attention to Tim.

Tim nervously chuckles "yeah he is my brother"

"Then that is the creepiest one of your brothers, I think he might have planned a tracking bug on you" Danny mused.

Johnny just shrugged, before fading into invisibility.

Tim noticed in the corner of this eye a glowing green puddle. Taking a sip of his coffee he made his way over to inspect it.

It was on one of his kitchen counters. He looked back at Danny who was again glaring at the clock.

"Danny... How did you get Lazarus water into my apartment?" Tim asked.

"Lazarus water? Oh that what you call ectoplasm right?" Danny turns to him and also noticed the puddle.

"Yes, why is it just like in my apartment?" Tim questioned sternly. He didn't need a Lazarus pit inside of his apartment thank you very much.

Danny stayed silent for a moment. Contemplating if we should reveal they got attacked at night.

Tim sighed and took another sip of coffee.

"I- it's in my DNA... I can move out if you want me to" Danny looked to the entrance of the kitchen. He's voice was quieter then usually.

"No. I forgot, I am sorry. Wait why is it then outside of you!?" Tim's eyes widened with the realization that Danny got hurt again.

Danny just chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of his neck.

Tim put his coffee besides the Lazarus puddle and when over to check Danny for injury. There was a bandage under his shirt. Tim hung his head in exasperation.

"How? he were sleeping together, there was no time when you could have gotten hurt" Tim looked back at Danny and tried to understand why he would hide his injury from him.

Danny looked ashamed of either being caught or not telling Tim.
Tim wasn't sure which.

Looking over the injury in the living room revealed he was stabbed 3 times in his abdomen. Danny also did only the minimum of medical assistant. And Tim sees the green spots in his blood this time.

The wound also looked fresh. How could he have missed an attack on Danny? Tim question's himself.

Instead of hissing at a clock he hissed as Tim tended to Danny's stab wound. Which made him think. Was hissing at the clock a cover up for hissing at the pain?

"Was it a ghost again?" Tim asked while concentration on stitching Danny up.

"Yeah" he chuckles before continuing "Gotham's Ghost really like to stab" Danny complains.

"Now that is not funny, Gotham is known as most crime written city in the USA. That's probably why" Tim corrected in a calm voice.

"Wait really?" Danny asked disbelievingly.

"Yeah, we have the crazy roughs, crime lords, murderers, pedophiles, traffickers, and drug dealers" Tim counted absentmindedly.

"And a possessive city ghost, got it" Danny added nodding.

"Possessive city ghost?" Tim questioned.

"Yeah Lady Gotham. She doesn't let any of the ghost here leave" Danny complained loudly.

"Then why is it that I only now noticed the ghosts?" Tim inquired putting new bandages over the wound.

"I far as I have learned she protects her knights or as others refer to them as the bats and birds especially from her ghosts. So since you are the brother of one maybe that means she protects you to" Danny explained.

"Then why does she attack you?" Tim question's.

"I guess because I want to leave" Danny says shrugging.

Chapter Text

Unknown to Danny Tim took some of his DNA while he was treating the stab wounds. Tim went into his nest with it.

And wanted to make completely sure the Danny he found is the same Danny Fenton he found online. Which means analyzing his DNA and comparing it with the medical records of Danny Fenton.

Now what he did not except was for his DNA analysis device to start to smoke. It somehow short circuited.

Tim fixed the issue and ran the the DNA analysis again. Only for it to short circuit again.

Danny's DNA was messing with his tech. Tim cursed.

Next he made a photo of a smiling Danny while he was playing a shooter game he found. When Danny noticed it he just started smiling.

The photo was for the face recognition program. That did indeed match With the Danny Fenton reported Dead.

But it didn't bring him any further, anything about the online Danny was just so disconnected to the Danny he had come to know.

He contemplated just interagation, I mean it would only cause him a head ache. So why not.

"Hey Danny" Tim came back to the living room with his tablet in hand.

"Hm?" Danny took a moment to look away from the game on the TV.

"Is your second name Fenton?" Tim asked an easy question first.

"Didn't Phantom tell you that?" Danny questioned back.

"Yeah but I wanted to be sure" Tim replied.

"Well yeah my full name is Daniel Fenton" Danny nodded turning his attention back to his game.

"How did you meet Phantom?" Tim asked.

Danny blinked confused.

"Didn't I tell-" Danny was interrupted by something slamming into him. "Ancients Max why didn't you come like a normal person" Danny complained groaning.

"Is this Max a ghost?" Tim question's.

" Oh yeah shes the one who almost always follows me around since me and Red Robin went to save those kids, in this fear testing facility" Danny explained.

He and Red Robin? What is he talking about?

"You mean his kidnapping case" Tim stated.

Why did Phantom tell Danny about that?
Wait he said he was with Red Robin.

"I guess so, but I don't know the specifics I just asked him about you" Danny said while presumably pushing the ghost of him.

"Are you Phantom?" Tim inquired.

"Yeah, I thought I told you already" Danny mused.

That was another power to the list, that didn't make since for Tim.

"So you can just turn into him?" Tim question's

"Oh yeah, that reminds me Max you wanted to be seen right" Danny looked down besides him.

Danny smirk and suddenly bright rings of light formed around Danny. They split and travel over Danny body reviling Phantom.

"Tada, Now let's try this" with that Danny gathered his energy in one hand and a little girl came into visibility sitting besides him.

She had black curly hair and brown eyes that had a black liquid flowing out of them. Her eyes widened as she noticed Tim's stared.

She waved at him and Tim waved back. Which made Max over joyed. The saddest part about her is that she looked about 10 years old.

Max also said something that didn't make sound.

"Yes he did wave at you" Danny confirmed.

She hugged Danny so tid that he hissed because of his injury.

"She also wanted to thank you for- wait what?" Danny turned back to Tim before interrupting himself.

"No no that's his brother not him" Danny corrected the Girl.

She tilted her head in confusion.

"Red Robin is Tim's brother" Danny tried to clarify further.

Tim eyes widened she knows doesn't she. Fuck.

"Tim why did you. Are you really Tim? Or are his creepy brother?" Danny narrows his eyes at Tim in suspicion.

"How did you come to that conclusion?" Tim question's bewildered.

How could this get so out of hand? Tim's panicked self questioned inside of him.

"You or Red Robin always knows where exactly Tim is always which is suspicious as hell. Like you could be his evil obsessed twin brother who's controlling his life. And if you are you better be ready because I am Freeing the real Tim from Your influence" Danny declared.

Tim was stunned. Why doesn't he just connect the dots!?
The girl nodded having a serious expression on her face.

Tim put his face into his hands and groaned. This can't be real, I am dreaming. Tim thought.

But pitching himself told him otherwise.

He heard Danny mutter "I only need to figure out which the real one is"

"we should concentrate on making the portal" Tim decided to leave the identity problem for future Tim to deal with.

"Oh yeah, we don't want my roughs getting on a hunt for the bats and birds" Danny agreed easily.

"Could you give me a list of everything that you need for the portal?" Tim question's.

Danny nodded and went into his room to steal more print papers.
Tim sighed and looked up at the still running game.

Chapter Text

Was it really ethical to trust a random teen who appeared out of nowhere? No it wasn't.
But the teen knew more then even the league of assassins.

How could Jason be so sure you asked? He made the pit react that had to count for something.

Jason had asked about Danny's file after they left. And let me tell you the kids more fucked up then any other person he's seen.

Then there was also the confusion with his death certificate. Did he die like Jason and came back to life like Jason?

To all that the stories of before Danny's death and now didn't fit at all. It's like they are completely different people.

Barbara asked him why he was suddenly interested. He couldn't just say hey the pit react to him and made me want to eat him.

So instead he said "He knows some who could fix the pit rage"

That made Barbara pause.

"What's your plan?" She asked.

"To create a way to this Ghost Doctor, you should probably inform the others about a explosion afterwards though. If it all goes to plan. Danny know the specifics and said he can create a portal" Jason explained.

"Make sure Danny comes back home to us. We decided to not let him go home" Barbara went back to typing on her keyboard.

"Yeah I will keep that in mind, Red Robin will send you the location" Jason comment before turning his coms off and continuing his patrol.

It really left a bad taste in his mouth that his own parents shot at him so often that Danny sees it as normal.

Jason crashed onto a fire escape as the pit suddenly roard to life. There was this craving again. No he was not going after Danny.
He had enough control to stop himself.

It had gotten worse over the next few days and he heard other worrying news that Danny was attacked more by Ghosts.

This whole situation made him check the group chat more often.

Good news where that Tim found a spot where no one would get hurt and got everything that was needed on a list Danny gave him.

But construction was more difficult. Since Ghost keep attacking and causing distraction. Jason didn't go near them in fear of hurting Danny.

And he still needed to stump that fucker who thought dealing in his territory with kids was a great idea.
