Symbiote Ellie Phantom AU
After she was saved from Destabilization, Ellie gained a nifty new power. She can Melt on command and move around freely, which is just a really fun power, even if she is a bit weaker when she uses it .
But one day, she gets really badly hurt. Like, Really Hurt. Let's say the GIW got a lucky shot and managed to capture her, and experimented on her for a week before she managed to escape.
She can't keep her Human Form stable anymore, but her Goop Form is good enough for now. All she needs to do is find an Ectoplasm Rich Environment and try to heal up the best she can. Hopefully Danny will find her after she misses her monthly Visit.
She ends up in Gotham while searching for a place to heal, but the GIW is hot on her tail.
She needs a place to hide, and the only way she can think of is to overshadow somebody and pretend to be them while the GIW passes her by.
So she jumps into the nearest person she can find, a girl close to her age jumping across Rooftops.
But since she was in her weaker Goop Form, she can't enter a person without their permission. So she slides up to the person in Goop Form, jumps on her Back, and telepathically asks her for help, begging for permission to hide in her for a bit.
The girl she tried to overshadow was Cassandra Cain.
After some begging, Cass agrees and Ellie sinks into her. Again, she can't fully Overshadow her, so she's basically a passenger until Cass decides to give her some control.
The GIW passes by them, and Ellie tries to leave Cass only to realize that she can't. Since Cass was exposed to the Lazarus Pits, she is has a weird Biology, and since Ellie already had a Wierd Biology being a Halfa Clone as a Pile of Goop, they somehow can't leave eachother.
Cass gets a new Roommate, but instead of sharing an apartment, its her body. It's honestly not that bad, Ellie can give her some of her old powers and she can still communicate by making a Goop Head come out of Cass's shoulder.
They get along really well too, Ellie can ways be there for Cass whenever she needs somebody to talk to, and Cass is the Supportive Older Sister who helps Ellie talk about her feelings.
The Bat Fam also doesn't know. They figure that this will probably be fixed soon enough, so there's no real reason to tell her Family. They do find out after a few weeks however.
Cass accidently uses Ellie's powers in front of one of her brothers, which causes them to tell Bat's which means the entire family knows by the end of the day.
Cass has to explain the situation and introduces her new little sister. "This is Ellie. She's a Meta who escapes a secret Government Organization and asked for my help to hide from them by hiding in my Body. Unfortunately, we can't split up because her powers reacted strangely to the Lazarus in my blood. She is now my sister. You are not going to make her leave, I will not let you."
It takes a while, but the Bat Fam ends up accepting her. They do end up looking into that "Secret Government Organization" though, and find that they have been experiencing Raids by an army of Ghosts for the last few weeks.
"Oh right, I missed my monthly visit to my brother." Says Ellie from Cass's shoulder. "He must be looking for me, no biggie."
It's definitely a Biggie.

If there's anyone out there that cares about flower language and symbolism like I do, I made an informal write-up some time ago about the in-game flowers (that you can put in your house) and the different symbolism that they can mean.
I included the symbolism for the in-game colors as well when they were available.
Also as a disclaimer these could be incorrect, have contrasting meanings, or have different meanings in different real-world cultures. White chrysanthemums (kiku) are usually a funeral flower in Japan for instance. (My Japanese professor once said they were a faux pas for her to receive in a bouquet!) So your mileage may vary!
This was simply a fun personal project I made for myself that I thought other people might enjoy as well! So here's a question to answer in the tags:
What flowers would your WoL have in their residence?
Arums (calla lily)
🔷magnificent beauty, feminine modesty
Brightlilies (easter lily)
🔷purity, refined beauty
🔷White: virginity, purity, majesty
🔷Pink: wealth and prosperity
🔷Red: warmth, desire
🔷Yellow: gaiety, falsehood, "I’m walking on air"
🔷Orange: hatred
Campanulas (bellflower)
🔷humility, constancy
Chrysanthemum
🔷cheerfulness, "You’re a wonderful friend"
🔷Red: I love you
🔷White: truth
🔷Yellow: slighted love
Cosmos
🔷harmony, peace, modesty, "the joys that love and life can bring", beautiful
Dahlias
🔷dignity, elegance
Daisies
🔷innocence, beauty
Lilies of the Valley
🔷return of happiness, sweetness, humility, purity
Oldrose
🔷Red: I love you, love, beauty, passion, romance
🔷Blue: mystery, attaining the impossible, love at first sight
🔷White: innocence and purity, "I am worthy of you", reverence
🔷Yellow: decrease of love, jealousy, friendship
Shroud Cherries (cherry blossom)
🔷spiritual beauty, a good education
Tulips
🔷perfect lover, fame
🔷Red: declaration of love, true love, eternal love, romantic love, "believe me"
🔷Yellow: hopeless love, unrequited love, brightness, sunshine
🔷White: ask for forgiveness, purity
🔷Purple: royalty
Hyacinths
🔷sports, games, rashness
🔷Purple: I am sorry, sorrow, "please forgive me"
🔷Red: play
🔷White: loveliness, "I’ll pray for you"
🔷Blue: constancy, sincerity
🔷Yellow: jealousy
Hydrangeas
🔷heartlessness, boastfulness, "You are cold"
Morning Glories
🔷love in vain, affection
Violas (violets)
🔷modesty, faithfulness
🔷Purple: daydreaming, "You occupy my thoughts"
🔷Blue: watchfulness, love
🔷White: candor, innocence
🔷Yellow: rural happiness
Byregotia (begonia?)
🔷Beware
Carnation
🔷fascination, love, distinction
🔷Red: "My heart aches for you", deep love, admiration
🔷White: sweet and lovely, innocence, pure love
🔷Yellow: "You have disappointed me", rejection, disdain
🔷Purple: capriciousness, changeable
Moth Orchid
🔷love, beauty, refinement, beautiful lady
Sweet Pea
🔷departure, good-bye, delicate pleasure, tender memory, blissful pleasure
Triteleia
🔷 They're a North American wildflower also called 'triplet lilies' or 'Ithuriel's spear' which is a reference to John Milton's epic English poem, Paradise Lost. It's about an angel sent by Gabriel to find Satan in the Garden of Eden. Satan, in the form of a toad, is introducing evil suggestions into the ear of Eve when Ithuriel pokes him with a spear. Satan then returns to his true form, "for no falsehood can endure Touch of Celestial temper, but returns Of force to its own likeness." It is to an unknown but imaginative scholar of English letters that we owe the common name of this plant.
Long story short, I can't find any symbolism for this one. Would make a possibly good Halone/Ishgard reference if you wanted to read into it, though!
