Prompt 161
Bruce does not like magic. He doesn’t enjoy it at all. Which might be from the fact that it was due to magic that he was in this situation. It wasn’t like he exactly wanted it known, even if he knows Alfred is laughing at him back home. 
The Cult is just terrified of the fact attempting to summon a representative of the Realms ended up with them summoning fucking Batman.

Mamma Mia AU but it's Fright Knight this time????
Clockwork had handed over a journal of sorts to Danny out of the blue and tells him that it's the journal that Fright Knight uses when he travels to the mortal realm whenever he is forced to go on 'vacations' by the observers (They need breaks from his existence every now and then).
Danny decides to run all the way to Sam and Tucker to read this book, and the two are all for reading what could possibly be the best or most boring drama of Fright Knight in the human realm.
Cue the everlasting trio going "Honey honey" from Mamma Mia while reading FK's earth diary and find out that he had 3 different human flings in the span of a a few decades.
There are also Polaroid photos of a human disguised FK with 3 very different men, from a few different time periods with dates and names + little messages on the back.
Although 2 names stand out to the trio out of the 3 names, one being that weird magician who's soul is split so much between ghosts that they could be considered Pokemon cards at this point in the Infinite Realms. The other name is one of a certain himbo billionaire of Gotham's butler, though FK affectionately calls him "Alfie" in the journal and on the photos.
-----------------------------------
(I'm just imagining that in his human disguise, FK is like Morticia Addams or a morbid Brucie Wayne but more.)
(And yes I did do the mamma mia thing- They will be reunited at one point and it will end up as a possible triangle or square for a while.)

Due to Shenanigans, Clockwork has sent Danny to the DC universe, specifically the Wayne mansion. Danny doesn’t know much, but figuring that Clockwork has his reasons, he decides to haunt set up base in this place until Plot happens. And if he gets to mooch off of/cause problems for a billionaire in the meantime, well…
Meanwhile, Alfred is gone for a brief yet well-deserved vacation, Bruce is extremely distracted by a particularly difficult case, and when Dick comes to the manor for a visit in the middle of the night and finds a black-haired blue-eyed teenager making himself a sandwich in the kitchen, he just assumes that Bruce has adopted another kid.
Poor Damian is about to have an aneurysm because not only is something haunting the house, but nobody believes him. It only makes it worse that the ghost keeps taunting him and can’t be stabbed.
For his part, Danny is having the time of his life being a little shit.

Are you going to make another part for the Angel and Demon Brat? If you do, please have them fumbling and Damian + Danny taking full advantage. Also, could you do something about Cujo please? I don’t think Danny would move without him
Danny will admit that he is having a little too much fun with his birth father's family. But could one blame him? They made it all too easy. Also, he was starting to see why Damian had been a bit hesitant to tell them about him.
It was not that they threatened him in any way, but he could see how hard it was for them to have a normal relationship with anyone. Just his small forms of affection made a lot of the Waynes' skin crawl.
They still gave in regardless. Danny worries it's the most hugs any of them have gotten in years. It couldn't be mentally healthy. Or could it? Some people didn't like to be touched, and that was fair.
He did have to play a careful balance.
He knew that if the League of Assians found out about Damian caring for him, Danny would go from being a Lost sibling to a Dead sibling. The Waynes on the other hand were under the impression that denying him anything would cause Time to erease him- not that Clockwork would dare. Who would try his spicy salsas then?- so they were much more careful in how they handled him.
Tim was his favorite. Danny could tell the other boy really liked being acknowledged, and unlike Dick, who thrived on being the center of attention, Tim struggled to let people know.
So Danny had small ways to give him what he desperately craved and had a little fun with it.
He carefully knocks on the boy's door room, clutching his pillow and blanket. There was a small pause where he could hear Tim scruffling around, likely trying to hide the coffee maker under his bed. Danny didn't have the heart to tell him the whole mansion but Alfred and Bruce knew about his bedroom coffee maker.
Maybe he should hint about it tomorrow at breakfast? Watch Tim sweat?
He shifts his face into an innocent expression when Tim opens the door. The other squints at him, likely catching his more mischievous expression but unwilling - or unable- to call him out on it.
"Angel Brat?" Tim says weary. The nickname rolls off his tongue so easily that one would think Tim has always called him that. Danny applauds his acting ability.
"Hi, Tim! I'm here for our bi-weekly ritual," he chirps, pushing the confused teen aside to step in. He gently rolls his heart pump behind him, mindful of the wires. It's on top of his gas tank, which he chose to wear so he could breathe some clear ectoplasm.
Gotham's ectoplasm was polluted with negative emotions, and it was giving him a headache.
None of the machines was actually doing anything—his heart rate will never be regulated due to his powers—but it was the perfect excuse for why Danny wasn't seen that often in public.
Barbara had gone back into Gotham gossip rags, publishing fake articles and small rumors on the internet that dated to the first day Damian arrived. This gave him some proof of existing before, but with the "timeline reset," it would make sense why no one could recall Danny.
As far as the Gotham citizens were concerned, Danny was an unproven rumor at best. People were asking about him but weren't daring enough to demand who Danny was.
Barbara was the best like that, and Danny should convince Damian to give her and her dad an even longer, all-expenses-paid vacation. She deserved it.
"Our bi-weekly ritual. Of course. Must have have slipped my mind." Tim carefully articulates. His words are clipped enough Danny can tell he's confused. Danny beams at him nonetheless, sitting on the ground carefully after he finishes adding his pillow and blanket to Tim's bed.
He leans his back against Tim's beg, crosses his legs underneath him, and takes a deep breath of ectoplasm.
Tim pauses for only a moment before walking over and sitting cross-leg in front of Danny. The younger boy pays him no mind while fumbling with the bag he brought along.
Danny began pulling out all his needed supplies. Five candles- each with a different color flame are left in a small circle. Five bottles sealed with wax and labeled with different named potions are carefully added to the center of the circle- he makes sure that the glitter liquid inside does not shake too much less the small surprise is noticed.
Then he pulls out a large book, with the image of a screaming skull on the cover. It's large enough that he has to set it on the ground, a thump produced from the weight.
He then carefully claps his hands four times, switching Tim's lights off so the only glow is the green, blue, pink, purple, and yellow light of the candle.
Tim looks a bit distressed. likely thinking Danny was about to start practicing the Black Magic or something. It's hard to keep a straight face as he fights off a giggle at the expression being aimed his way while he flips through the pages.
Tim carefully taps his hand against a bracelet on his wrist, which connects to the Bat's communication lines. The rest of the Bats are probably thinking that Tim is in danger even though he was supposed to be on rest duty and have tuned into the conversation. Danny isn't supposed to know that, though, since he is not "healthy" enough to be a vigilante, so he ignores it.
"Alright, should I start or you?" Danny asks when he lands on the page he was looking for. It's in Latin, which he knows Tim can read but that doesn't stop it from being creepy.
"You can start first."
"Really? You never let me go first in the bi-weekly ritual!" Danny cheers, leaning down to the page. From the corner of his eye, he can see the distress blooming more on Tim's face.
"I'm feeling...generous. I think you're old enough to start our bi-weekly ritual that requires colorful candles, a large black skull book in Latin, and five colored potions." Tim says obviously repeating the materials to the eavesdropping Bats.
"Thanks, Tim! Okay, here we go." Danny holds out his hand above the book muttering in Latin.
"Oh great, Clockwork, master of time, head my call and tell me the answer to my inquiry." Danny quickly switches to English as he grabs the potion in pink glitter. Giving it a good shake, he continues. "Does Kon-El think Tim is cute?"
The glitter shifts until a dice appears with the words- More likely than you think is visible. Danny squeals showing Tim, "Omg Tim, you have a chance!"
Tim's face falters and then turns an alarming shade of red. "What?!"
"Wait the following questions!" Danny reaches for the remaining bottles, making sure to go in the color order of the candles. Will Kon ask Tim to marry him? Yes! Where will they live? A mansion. How many kids will they have? fifteen! What will Tim's future job be? A photographer!"
Danny flips the page over to a table of data, squabbling down the answers. "Okay, you're going to get married to Kon, live in a mansion, have fifteen kids, and be a photographer. This is the third time in a row that Kon has married you. I think Clockwork is on your side for this one, Tim. It's my turn!"
Danny pretended he couldn't hear Jason laughing his ass off in Tim's earpiece or Dick's voice cry out. "No fair! I want to play spooky MASH on a bi-weekly basis."
Tim is beet red, fumbling with his hands. "Who-i-what-?"
Danny frowns. "Are you okay Tim? Should we skip Bi-boys night?"
"Bi-boy night?!" Tim squeaks.
"Yeah! I thought I would give our hang-out night a nickname, and since we mostly end up talking about cute girls and boys, I thought we could name it bi-boy night. You know since you're the only one in the family that's bi like me? I know no one will want to date me. I'm too sick...but it's nice to have a brother who gets crushes."" Danny hunches his shoulders a little ignoring the way Tim's eyes widen a bit with affection. He's touched that Danny came to him for this. Fool. "We can skip my turn. It's not like I'll have someone anyway."
Jason has stopped laughing, and Steph softly whispers. "That's so cute and sad. Who's been hurting our baby?"
Tim swallows. "No. We are not skipping your turn. We are going to play this game because anyone would be tripping over themselves for you."
"Really?" Danny smiles hopefully at Tim. Tim nods firmly, then narrows his eyes.
"No dating until you are sixteen."
"I know." Danny rolls his eyes "You've said that before."
"Good."
"But I can still have crushes right? Because I have one on Jon."
"Jon Kent?" Tim asks at the same time Bruce growls the name.
"You won't tell Dad will you?" Danny asks after nodding and blushing. Damian told him yesterday that Jon pissed him off, and with the power to heat up his ectoplasm just behind his checks, causing them to flush, he thinks he just found a good way to make the super regret upsetting his brother.
Nothing like an overprotective Bat clan to dish out vengence.
"No," Tim says, grinding his teeth. "No, I won't tell. But since I already got married to Kon maybe we can try someone else."
Danny's eyes sparkle with barely concealed glee. "Okay, let's use my second crush! He's super cooler anyway"
"Of course, what's his name?" Tim asks picking up the pink bottle.
"Your friend Bernard," Danny says, knowing Danm well, Tim had an undiscovered crush on the guy. He watches with glee as Tim chocks on his spit.
"What?!"
"Yeah, he's got muscular arms, and he can cook," Danny sighs dreamily. "Damian thinks he's hot too."
"No." Tim gasps.
"I do," Damian says over the cons to the collective shock of everyone. "Dowd has a fine physique. He's also great with animals. I approve of Daniel's involvement with him."
Danny's lower lip wobbles. "No? I can't play the game?"
Tim takes one look at him before caving. "Does Bernard Dowd think Danny is cute......it says no."
"Oh. If Clockwork doesn't think so, then I guess it's not meant to be," Danny sighs.
"Who is Clockwork?" Tim asks, placing the potion down.
Danny blinks. "You don't remember Clockwork? Lately, everyone has been forgetting important things around here. Is something wrong?"
Danny allows his body to flicker a bit with his powers, acting as if he didn't notice as Tim grows alarmed.
"I'm joking! It's a joke! Of course, I know Clockwork! Ha ha ha! Why don't we do the next thing on our Bi-Boy Night!? Want to watch a movie?!" Tim practically leaps out of his seat racing to TV. "What are you in the mood for? Comedy or horror?"
"A musical!"
"A musical!?"
However, Damian has to stop on a roof to laugh into the concrete as he listens to Drake- an active hater of musicals- try to sing along to something called High School Musical and act like he loves it as Danny sings with him. He can hear Drake's blood pressure rise with every new line

{Marriage Between An Ancient and A Butler}
I lose my motivation with this, but I was determined to at least finished this first part. I wanna make more part, but like I said, I kinda lose my motivation here. I was inspired by @mortiferumsomnum so you may notice the name Clockwork uses. Anyhow, hope you enjoy!!
------------------------------------
Alfred Pennyworth is a private man.
He like to keep things to himself, especially his private life. All the relationship Bruce knows about is Alfred's daughter, Julia Pennyworth; his interactions with his daughter were straind to say as least. Maybe that's why Bruce didn't pry more then what he knows from Alfred. Last thing he need is bring more distress to his perso-father then he needs to. Alfred may not say it, but taking care a family of vigilants has got to take a toll.
Besides, his kids would never forgive him if anything happens to Alfred; and to be honest, neither does he.
So when he heard that his butler got married, well, surprise is an understatement. All the times Alfred went on vacations should have raise some red flags but like he said, Bruce doesn't wanna prayed. He just assume that he's spending time with his daughter.
[He really should have known, he knows that he only has Julia and even she's busy on most day. Bruce just assume that it's for himself, which is true.]
[Oh, if only he knew.]
=========
It all started on a normal monday in Gotham, with a attack in a park. Ah, nothing to start your day them a rouge attack. That's Gotham for you.
But that's where things get complicated.
Batman was dispatch alongsides Robin in order to help Signal with the new threat. The new threat was a meta with a weird obsesssion of boxes.
Bruce is very sure it was a meta when he's flying around yelling about boxes. Batman doesn't fight in broad daylight but there's no way Bruce would let Duke fight it alone. Now if only this meta wasn't so slippery. He was force to call backup.
"Now you y'all will face my wrath, mortals!" the Box man said, throwing more and more boxes at them. "How many boxes does this guy have?!" Red Hood yelp, almost falling face -helment- first to the ground. Batman grunted, he can't help agreeing with Red Hood. He and Spoilers were there to provied help, but the meta's stamina is unmatched.
Even Damian was getting tired. Hell, HE, the BATMAN himself felt tired; that's an understament, he's fucking exhausted.
But he has to focus, unless he wanted to be six feet under. If only they knew the meta weaknesses, but he seem to have most of J'onn abilities. Duke and Steph were distracting the box craze man as he, Damian and Jason stop and catch a break; they need to figure out a plan to stop this meta. He's not hurting anyone -besides their egos- but he's still is an unknown and Bruce isn't taking any chances.
He tap into his comm.
"Oracle, what do we know?" Bruce sighed. He really need a hot bath after this. He could hear keys smashing on the other end. Not good.
"Nothing, Batman. Absolutely nothing! There got to be something but I couldn't find anything matching the meta's description. I'll keep looking, but until then-" more key smashing, "- you're on your own," she ended the statement with a heavy sigh. Crap, not good at all.
"Tell Red Robin to take over comms, Oracle, and you keep searching," he ordered. Tim was bench due to an injury he got from a previously protrol. He could take over while Babs search for any infomations about the situantion and weaknesses that the meta has. Just then, his youngest son shouted; "Father, Signal and Spoilers are losing their strength. We must help them!" Robin pointed to where both vigilants and the man went.
"So what'cha we waiting for? Let's go!" Red Hood was already running to the direction they went. Batman nodded to his Robin and they went after Red Hood.
But he felt something bad pooling in gut. Bruce hope it's just his worries.
[He shouldn't have just listened to his mind.]
=========
Alfred Pennyworth is a private man.
That in itself should not so surprising considering that not a single person in his little family of crime fighting vigilants/detectives nor his estranged daughter knew that he gotten' married to an inmortal and Ancient Being name Horatio Clockwork. The fact that he added his own name as his last name is so dumb that it worked. Just how Mister Kent do with his glasses.
Either way, he is not changing his last name with his husband.
Alfred is on a day off, as Master Bruce wanted him to rest for awhile; he thinks he's spending time together with Julia, but she's busy so he's spending time with his husband instead. Spending time with his beloved as he talked nonsense all while walking on the sidewalk, hands interwinds with each other.
"I'm telling you, I do loved the boy, not that I'll admit it in front of him, but he's getting on my nerves. I swear his doing it on purp-" Horatio cuts mid sentence as he saw that Alfred stopped dead on his track, looking at a window to a tech shop.
"Alfie? You okay?" He asked.
Both lovebirds stopped and watched as the TVs displays the lastest rouge attack. But it isn't the regular rouge or some random wannabe villain.
Both of they're eyes wided as they realized the Box Ghost- aka Boxy, is in Gotham, in broad daylight.
Horatio's eyes flases red, silently in rage that Boxy was here. He thought that Danny told them to leave the mortal plane alone. "Oh he's getting soup alright," Horatio snarled. He knows that Danny is having a vacation, so they're going to have to take care of this mess.
He walks to the direction Boxy heading, silently fuming and cursing said ghost in all the colorful language he could think of. Holding Alfred's hand as gentle as can be, they head out. Alfred sighs; married to an Ancient Being who is also the mentor of The Ghost King Of The Infinate Realm does has some downside. Guess their get-together could be postponed to another date.
[Although, he must admit, Horatio being mad is kinda hot.]
[He loves his husband alright, sue him.]
=========
"Uhhh...guys. I see Alfred on the camera, he's on the pathway of the meta-" a barrage of curses and yelling can be heard.
"WHAT-"
"ALFRED?! WHERE IS HE?-"
"DRAKE! WHERE IS PENNYWORTH?!-"
"OH FUCK WHA-"
Bruce was horrified; his butler, his father, is heading throws danger. "Tim, find the way to warn Alfred. Now," Bruce growl.
He can't lose him. He can't lose another-
"B, the cameras' busted! I can't see him! I'm sending you the coordinates now!"
Fuck.
Jason was sprinting throws the location given. Bruce and Damian hot on his heels. The three of them rounded a corner to a dimly lit hallway. This reminded Bruce when he was young-NO-
NONONONONONONONONO-HE CAN'T- HE- HE CAN'T LOSE ANOTHER!
Not again- Not-
In a middle of the damp hallway is Alfred, and a man. The man has mid length white hair, he's wearing a purple sweater with some sort of pattern on it. He stood there, calm and quite; while Alfred was standing beside him, hands on the man shoulders, talking to the man with hush tones and is unharmed. Bruce sighed, he's safe and sound. Maybe the man Alfred with was a friend of his.
"...Sir, are you okay?" Bruce called out, hand reaching out. As much as he would like to call his name, he's still Batman and he can exposed himself to the man Alfred with.
Both men turned around. Jason gasped, Damian's eyes wided behind his mask; he could hear the shouts of others on the comms, asking if they're alright. Bruce didn't answered.
Alfred was unharmed, but the man's eyes flashes a bright red, almost like he's about to blast them with his lazer. But that's not the shocking part; it's what the man said next that truly take them out by surprise.
"My beloved, stand back." The man snarled at them, unaware that he just threaten his husband's son and grandsons.
Jason's words described perfectly about the situation.
"What the fuck???"
--------------------------------------
That's all there is! I kinda lose my motivation there. But! If you guys can add to this, that'll be amazing! I really want to know where you takes this!!! Anyway, hope you like it and have a great day!(⁠。⁠・⁠ω⁠・⁠。⁠)⁠ノ⁠♡

PruCanWeek Day 1
Read it on FF.net: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12674075/1/
PruCan Week
Day 1: Beginnings/Anticipation
Summary: While working a high profile case chasing an international criminal, Detective Gilbert Beilschmidt takes a coffee break for a fated meeting.
The day needed more coffee, that much Gilbert was certain.
His phone had been ringing nonstop since last night when the cryptic note had arrived at the station. And while the entire police force was on deciphering its meaning, he was the one in charge of this mess. That is to say that every higher up in the city was on his ass demanding answers. He turned the foul electronic device to silent and stuffed it straight down to the bottom of a pocket as he got out of his cruiser.
Gilbert had been awake over 24 hours and he was sure it showed clear across his face. But like clockwork he liked to step through the doors of his favourite café at 9am for his usual blend and today would be no exception. Simply smelling the aroma as he stepped through the doors was enough to settle some of his nerves and instantly infuse some life back into his exhausted body. The baristas knew him by name here and his order by heart and as soon as they spotted him went to work putting it together. He sauntered up to the counter and leaned against it, fishing out his card to pay as he did so.
But the brief reprieve in his mood was instantly soured. Sitting at a table close to the counter was a person hidden behind a newspaper. The day's headline was a sharp jab.
Cryptic Phantom Sets Sights on City! Police Baffled by Latest Puzzle.
"Put that thing away!" Gilbert shouted, startling the majority of the room and earning him stares from all corners.
The newspaper's owner slowly lowered the offending item, his eyes wide when he found he was the one set in Gilbert's sights. "The newspaper?" he asked quietly.
He growled and rubbed a hand on his face, regretting the outburst. "Sorry, that was stupid of me. Just been up all night working on that damn puzzle and the front page is only adding insult to injury."
"Oh!" The newspaper was quickly folded up with fumbling hands and set face down. "Is that better?"
"You didn't have to…" Gilbert grabbed the disposable cup and took a small sip, nearly scalding his tongue in the process. The barista quickly rang up his drink and gave him space.
"Does this mean you are one of the investigators on the case?"
He wiped the back of his hand across his mouth. "You're not some reporter, right?"
The man shook his head, short blonde strands grazing his cheeks. "Just someone visiting the city. Who knew it would be while a big criminal would be here!"
Gilbert winced at the smile and unwavering gaze. "Don't get so excited. This guy is bad. International criminal bad. There's a task force landing in a couple hours to take over my city and I've got nothing to show them." He hung his head and threaded his hand through his hair.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean anything by it…"
"It's fine, just forget it." Gilbert waved a dismissive hand. "I feel bad for yelling at you when you make that sad face. Can I buy you something? Another coffee or a cinnamon roll or something?"
The other blinked and hopped up from his chair. "A coffee is fine, thanks." He relayed a simple order and stood quietly a respectable distance beside the counter.
"I'm Gilbert, by the way." He stuck out a hand which the other tentatively took.
"Matthew."
"How long are you visiting the city for?"
Matthew smiled and traced a finger along the counter. "A couple weeks? Decided I needed to see more of the world."
"When all this is over and if you're still here I could show you around?" Gilbert caught the words a little too late and after a moment where he had stunned even himself he looked away, feeling an awkward flush filling his face.
"I'd like that," Matthew said quietly, reaching over for a pen and a spare napkin, quickly scrawling out his number. "If… If you want to text me yours…?"
Gilbert nodded, collecting the napkin and holding it tightly in one hand. "I will. But, I gotta go…"
Matthew nodded. "Of course. Thanks for the coffee. And… I hope you catch him!"
Gilbert was gone a few minutes before Matthew began to move. He gathered up the newspaper, checked his phone which he was pleased to see the completed status on it and packed it away. The paper went under his arm and he sipped his coffee as he exited as well and casually walked down the street.
The hotel he was staying in wasn't anything fancy. Comfortable and clean, and hardly anyone checking in on him which was a requirement for his vacations. He pulled out his room key at a door with a 'Do Not Disturb' hanger on the knob and let himself in.
"About time! Did you get it?"
Matthew threw his phone to his brother and dropped the paper to the top of a dresser. "Of course I did. Who do you think I am?"
Alfred caught the small electronic item and grinned, quickly switching to typing on his computer. He had an impressive set up for a hotel room, something the twins always had difficulty smuggling in without being seen. "Okay if I head out after I'm done? I'm starving and I keep smelling fried food from somewhere…"
"Yeah, sure. I had a snack at the café." The brother flopped onto his back on the bed and stretched out, hands behind his head to watch the ceiling. "Detective Gilbert is always there at 9. Even after getting our puzzle last night."
Alfred grunted, his focus entirely on the screens in front of him. "And done! Phone cloning is complete and I've already got all his information. Looks like…." He leaned in closer to this screen, squinting. "Oh, boring. He went back to the station."
"Task force will be here this afternoon," Matthew added. "They're getting faster."
"They still think they're looking for one guy. I checked."
The phone in his hand chirped and a sneering grin spread across Alfred's face. "How did you get so close to Gilbert, huh? Looks like he just texted you."
"I didn't sleep with him, if that's what you're asking." Matthew raised a hand and caught the phone as it was tossed back to him. "I'm not you." He swiped his thumb across the screen and read the message, a small smile appearing faintly on his lips.
"You going to reply?"
A moment of hesitation and he chewed on his lip. "Yeah, why not? You had the last one."
Alfred leaned back in his chair, a dreamy look in his eyes. "Detective Braginsky would have been the reason I got out."
"We can't stay," Matthew reminded him as well as himself. His thumbs hovered over the screen and then he began tapping out a simple reply. Alibis and information, surely that was all this would turn out to be. He was convinced of it.
