That one au of mine where Danny got his accident at 5-10 we'll go with 10 here) and got reshaped or possessed his teddy bear that he brought with him.
Except this time, he didn't get shat out into the ghost zone and he's just on the floor of his parents lab. When Jack and Maddie find out about this, they were, at first, enthralled by his existence.
Before realizing that that's the teddy bear they gave their son for his 5th birthday, and the portal was on, and the Teddy Bear was moving.
Their son was the one to turn on the portal, and he was nowhere to be seen.
They kept a close eye on Danny's toy while searching the ghost zone for their son. The amount of interest they had in it was almost overwhelming, yet whenever they looked at it, they just, couldn't bring themselves to do anything to it.
After multiple expeditions without success, and the suspicious amount of men in white suits approaching their daughter, they decided to send her over to Jack's brother over in Gotham.
One Waylon Jones.
Jazz vouched to take the Teddy bear with her too, and the Fenton's allowed it. Jazz was the only one who managed to realize that Danny was the Teddy Bear, and that they were searching when he was right under their noses.
When they get to Gotham, Waylon is a bit... stunned, to hear that his nephew was a teddy bear, but it honestly wasn't the weirdest thing he's heard so he just rolled with it.
Danny likes to hang over his uncle's shoulder, or sit it on. Makes him feel tall :D
Ok now do the batkids sneaking back IN after sneaking out
Cass: *crawls through the vents*
Dick: *scales the wall and silently parkours through every room*
Jason: *commits arson as a diversion*
Steph: *disguises herself as furniture*
Damian: *mails himself in a package for same-day delivery*
Tim: *stages his own kidnapping and subsequent escape*
Duke: *walks in through the front door while Bruce is distracted by everyone else*
“But if you forget to reblog Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity.”
The sound of John Constantine’s incredulous voice entered the meeting room before his body did. “Fight an Infinite Realms ghost? Are you insane?! Do you want to get us killed?”
Zatanna spun and almost snarled at him. “What would you have us do then, Constantine? Maybe you’re okay with sacrificing people sometimes, be we’re the heroes. We can’t just let it keep wreaking havoc. There’s no reported deaths yet, but we don’t know how long that’ll last.”
He leaned against the wall nonchalantly and lit a cigarette. “Well, what’s it yelling about?”
“What?”
He took a long drag before continuing. “Realms ghosts– they’re basically immune to our magic, but they’re easy marks if you know how to deal with ‘em. They all have some sort of Obsession. Just work with that and they’re remarkably simple to manipulate.” His voice turned to a grumble, “Doesn’t mean they can’t be a huge pain in the fucking ass sometimes though.”
Tapping some ash off his cigarette, he looked straight back into the room again. “So… what’re they yelling about?”
What if the Lazarus pits had blob ghosts and they merged together to became a concept ghost?
Now for the memes!
-----
Al Ghul approaches the pits
L: uh-uh, what's he doing?
Al Ghul: *dives into the pits*
L: UGH! *Pukes out a blob ghost that looked around before immediately rejoining Lazarus* NO! GET HIM OUT OF HERE!!! OUT!!!
Al Ghul: *gets yeeted* ?!
------
Would Lazarus like Jason and the others? 🤔 strangely enough, I'd say yes.
L: At least you guys didn't try to just constantly USE ME like my last master did! *dramatic sobs*
Batman: *desperately trying not to adopt this unknown entity* how OLD are you?
L: *suddenly fine* oh, me? I just formed yesterday! Let me tell ya, it was QUITE a surprise to suddenly be able to move and see! It's been a true experience so far, I can see why you guys like doing this so much!
Batman: *physically restraining himself* Hn.
------
Jason: so what exactly are you?
L: oh, me? Well I don't know TOO much but from what my instincts are telling me, is that I'm a type of ghost!
Dick: GHOST????
L: yes! Specially a Concept ghost! Like how there's a concept of time and space, I'm a concept of the pits.....I guess.
Jason: you guess???
L: only a few days old, remember? I don't even have a guardian ghost yet!
Batman: *immediately at attention* are you supposed to have one?
L: yep! Every baby ghost needs a guardian! It's not like we can know everything the moment we're born. Hell, I don't even know where the other ghosts are, all there is here are shades....and remnants.
Tim: I have so many questions.
L: and I have so little answers! It seems we're stuck in the same boat Tim! (Oh btw Tim, your clones wanted me to say Hi)
The fam: WAIT WHAT?!
--------
Lazarus and the shades getting along as Lazarus greets them like one would do to their pets.
L: why hello! Yes, hello! Look at you, look at you *coos*
-------
Hmmm 🤔 Lazarus would need a guardian that can make portals in order to show them how and to make sure they get fresh ectoplasm when need. And the only ghosts I can think of is Wulf and Clockwork.
But there's also Cujo.
Lazarus meeting the only other ghost he's seen and it's this small dog.
L:
Cujo:
L: are you my dad??
Cujo: *sweating because oh no this child has no parents, but how the bark does he raise a baby ghost?*
--------
Tho Wulf parenting Lazarus would also be cute.
Walker finds Wulf and immediately spots the kid.
Walker also knows that bonds between a baby ghost and it's parent are near impossible to break. (Not to mention against the rules.)
So then it'd be Walker and Wulf raising this baby ghost together lmao!
Danny was doing homework when Fright knight came to him.
FK: I would like your permission to go out on a Quest.
DP: Why are you asking me?
FK: You are the Guardian of the portal, a keeper of balance, and may be the next ghost king. So i ask your leave.
DP: What is this quest?
FK: It has come to my attention that there is a energy entity out in the stars who claims to be the emotional embodiment of fear and is powering this "Sinestro Corps" to do heinious deeds in the name of fear and terror. I seek to eliminate this corps and give this "Parallax" a beating and a lesson in true fear.
DP: Parallax sounds like a pharmaceutical drug or a laxative.
FK: Fear work well as a laxative. Your friend Tucker knows this very well.
DP: I thought you were the embodiment of fear?
FK: I AM.
DP: OK permission uh granted i guess.
Fright Knight bows then turns to go but is interrupted.
DP: oh and Fright knight?
FK: Hmm?
DP: win.
FK: of course.
I love how Danny is the DPxDC fandom's (at this point is its own fandom) personal Barbie
He's the ghost king, he's a mechanic, he's a runaway, he's an ancient, he's an engineer, he's a barista, he's a regular guy, he's an eldritch being, he has trauma beyond comparison, he has no trauma at all, he's a child, he's a teenager, he's in his 40's, he's gay, he's straight, he's bisexual, he's whatever suits the character he's being shipped with, he's Damian's twin, he's a clone, he's Dani's dad, he's Dani's brother, he's both at the same time
He's truly made of play dough
He opens it to a man wearing a pair of sunglasses, and another man in a wheelchair at the foot of the steps.
"Hello Danny," the older one says, smiling up at the suspicious teen. "My name is Charles Xavier, and I'm here to extend an offer to attend a school that I believe would suit you far better than the one here."
"I'm not joining a cult," Danny deadpans, slamming the door shut.
There are not enough aus where Frostbite adopts Danny.
Frostbite comes to the realisation that the great one who defeated Parish Dark is a neglected child and goes 'well that won't do'. Maybe Danny has to leave the living world and Frostbite's tribe takes him in. Danny gets a clan and a whole tribe of people as a support network and a stable environment to feel safe in. Maybe he even manages to finish his schooling!
Maybe the Observants try to have Danny thrust onto the throne because they think he'll be easy to manipulate if they force him into unprepared and tear him from his haunt. Danny is panicking and so the Far Frozen are like. Well :) according to the law of the Far Frozen realm and customs of the tribe that the child is a ward of, Danny is still a minor until his coming of age ceremony in about fifty years or so, so until then :) the Observants council would never violate Far Frozen law like that, would they? :|
Thus Danny is free to live his life and maybe find a new candidate in the meantime.
“Those poor boys”
“She deserves to be punished too.”
“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”
“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”
“She put herself in harm’s way”
“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”
“She ruined their lives.”
Dpxdc promt
Every single corpse, skeleton, or other human remains that was not properly buried under their own name, murdered and/or had unfinished business in the whole of Gotham (including the bay) gets up and claws themselves out of their dumping ground. The living watch in horror as green glowing zombies swarm the streets and start to gather at Gothams cemeteries…
There they each get a green “hello my name is…” name tag and a (actually rather professional looking) complaint form from one of the floating tables, fill it out, search for a free spot, lie down and stop glowing.
Danny (who would tell you that he is not a necromancer) is just glad that now all these shades can finally stopp bothering him about solving their problems.
