oh so dana terrace wasn't kidding when she said that the toh season 3 team found very creative ways to fit a supposedly 20-episode long season into three 45 minute specials huh
No capes au, where Tim had always been obsessed with Jason ever since his adoption was publicized on all the Gotham news networks. But after Jason leaves for university, Tim's ability to stalk him closely is regulated to online monitoring and fake college tours.
He needs someone new to keep up his fix. Someone in Gotham, worthy of being followed, tracked, of Tim's undivided and unwanted attention.
Enter Damian. New to the city and all the attention that comes with after a decade long custody battle between Bruce and Talia.
Some thoughts on this AU:
Tim does realize that getting close to Damian means he can also get close to Jason whenever he comes home from uni so he counts it as a double win
Bruce and Talia's custody battle was because they both disagreed on how Damian should be parented
Talia caved after her father got sick and she had to take over his duties
lmao, I think it would be really funny if the League was still something that existed in this AU, why Bruce doesn't want Talia to have full custody of Dami (but he loves her so he's not gonna tattle)
Tim used to hang around Jason so much at all the rich people galas but Jason thought he was weird and would avoid him as much as possible
he's even more creeped out that Tim is now hanging around his little brother every time Damian mentions Tim in their weekly catchups
he does warn Damian that Tim is kinda off and to not trust him TOO much because there's smth wrong there
lmao, Tim definitely considered killing his parents to try and get fostered by Bruce before realizing he'd be sent to live with other family members and MAYBE a string of murders following him would not be the appealing thing in a foster child
Phantom gets smacked through a portal and lands directly in front of Darskeid, who immediately begins to monolog before trying to induct Phantom into his army. Our glowy boy isn't having it though and they fight.
Darkseid is actually impressed by the child's battle prowess and the ability to deflect his Omega beams, but he makes a crucial mistake.
He underestimated Phantom.
Needless to say, Danny was forced to kill the dark god in order to escape. (Or his avatar??) He has a hard time, even though he knows this is probably the most evil guy he's had to defeat and this is the first time he's had to kill. Sadly it won't be the last either as a tyrannical government won't be destroyed simply by destroying one part of it, no matter how powerful that part is. Also, Darkseids more loyal followers and his son are chasing him throughout Apokolips, trying to kill him.
After killing many of the people following him since he had to use lethal force just to get them to stop moving he was in a pretty rough state mentally and just wanted to return to the zone and find the portal. If he had plans to cry into the soft fabric of his sisters sweater than that was nobodies business but his own. Somehow, as he curled up in a nook in a large boulder somewhere his wish was granted and the entirety of Apokolips-the whole planet- was transported into the ghost zone.
Danny could hardly believe it. But his troubles weren't over. Soon after the world was teleported, the skeletons of the zone began rising and fighting off the parademons and whatnot from Apokolips and whenever an enemy soldier fell they were transformed into a skeletal version of whatever they were and fought against their still living companions.
Once the battle was over, the people of Apokolips were subdued, and Phanyom was completely worn out he left back into Amity Park and stole some of his parents force field generators and returned to find the planet was already surrounded by a ghostly force field that refused to let anything out. Shrugging, Danny went home and decided not to question it.
Now. About that crying/ therapy session.
Danny didn't know how the world was transported into the zone or why. Nor did he know why the skeletons were so keen on protecting him. Might have something to do with him being the Ghost King via "right of conquest" after he defeated Pariah Dark. Sadly the Observants and other people in power purposely kept that information from him so he would know to take the throne.(Clockwork was vetoed and ordered not to say anything to the boy. He only smirked in response) Now that same "right of conquest" has made it were everything that once belonged to Darkseid now belonged to Phantom and was being transported into the zone and isolated by it.
The Justice League noticed the entire planet disappeared and went to investigate.
I usually go to sleep to music, and that must’ve messed up my dream because I had a dream about a Bo Burnham and Weird Al mix having a concert at a bowling alley that doubled as a DND shop.
