#The Batfamily investigated

Garage Sale

Well, when the Fentons decided to have a garage sale Danny didn't expect many to be interested. His parents were looking for a way to get money quickly to build more stuff, and he jokingly suggested they could sell some inventions, they took it seriously (Jazz made sure to remove all the lethal inventions, she tried with the ones that might be risky but then they wouldn't sell anything).

Danny knew his parents were strange yes, but he wasn't sure that justified millionaires in his backyard. Millionaires, he'd like to clarify, had never set foot in Amity Park before. He raised an eyebrow at the sight of Bruce Wayne and his sons checking out the appliances. None of them seemed to be interested in the "ghosts" but they hadn't backed down from taking some things either.

So yes, Danny was suspicious. Of course he had made sure the inventions in the sale were safe (although unlike Jazz, he simply decided to make them safe, a few modifications here and there), but the fact that they looked genuinely interested made him uneasy.

Were the Waynes interested in hunting ghosts?

He decided to try something, he crossed eyes with one of them and let his green eyes show before looking away, the boy looked alarmed. He approached him and asked, but Danny feigned ignorance, commenting that all the inventions were green and maybe he had been confused by the reflection (to be fair, most of his parents' inventions were green because of the ecto).

For his part, Bruce had received an alert from Justice League Dark, it seemed they had detected a strange energy, similar to magic, so the bats set out to investigate. They didn't expect to find a garage sale in a house in the middle of nowhere (Amity Park wasn't even marked on the fucking map). Nor did they expect advanced technology or mad scientists.

Bruce decided to pretend he had stumbled into town as "Brucie Wayne" and buy a few things. He shuddered to see that many inventions worked with Lazarus water. Jason, who had strangely agreed to come along, was also upset about the son of the scientists.

Bruce questioned whether he had found a family of villains in the making.

#dpxdc #The Fentons needed money #so they did a garage sale #JLD detected the ecto because it was out of the protected lab #and all the inventions together caused energy to be detected #The Batfamily investigated #Amity is a quiet town #if you're not actively looking for it then it won't show up #That's why no one believes it exists #The Amity Parkers could be descendants of the elves and nobody would know it #dp x dc #dc x dp #Danny gave Jason a cardiac arrest #Jason knows the color of pit madness everywhere and he thinks Danny has it #Bruce plans to take the weapons to study them #The Fentons are just happy that their sale was a success #They have no idea that the dark knight considers them to be future villains #Danny would be offended if he found out #The Batfamily believes that the Fentons found a way to manipulate the lazarus water and that is a risk #They hope Ra doesn't find out #They are right but wrong at the same time #The Fentons work with pure ectoplasm #not junk ectoplasm.

Dick came over to hang out with the family, he was taking Titus out for a walk and comes back in terrified and outta breath, having to explain what’s wrong: It was like something out of a horror film. It was nearly pitch black in the back yard with the sky dark blue and starless, barely lighting the ground, the grass was darker than the sky. I took him to his favorite tree, but he just stood there, he didn’t go to the bathroom, he just stared out like someone was there, stalking us. As I looked around, I felt queasy. I didn't know what was out there, but I knew it was for sure out there. I started walking back with him, and as we walked, I heard another person's footsteps, but I didn't dare look back. I just sprinted back in

Jason, in muddy shoes after purposely scaring the shit outta dick in the back yard: yeah crazy

#scaring your siblings brings a whole different kinda dopamine rush fr #as a sibling I can confirm #on another night dick may have investigated but he said not my monkeys not my circus and noped outta there #someone who actually lives there can deal with that problem #his only responsibility is to make it to the manor alive #dick grayson #jason todd #batfam #batkids #bat family #incorrect batfamily quotes

The Sandman is a DC character (as are the rest of the Endless, so Death included)

Jason learning to dream walk from an amused Death and a curious Dream would be interesting

Omg I LOVED that show! (I know they’re comics but I only watched the series >.<)

And that‘s such a cool idea???? Maybe even have Dream sympathize a little with the whole “estranged family“ thing so he makes sure to show Jason just how much his death impacted the family, and Death is subtly urging Jason to make use of that second chance he’s been granted.

Just, y’know, your two friendly neighborhood Endless entities trying to make your life a little less miserable 💚💫

#death has been watching Jason since he came back #and she brings him up in conversations with Dream #who then also decides to investigate and #dang #that’s one Sad Boi #and he knows for a fact that a part of the Dreaming has been dreary and depressing ever since Ethiopia #courtesy of the Bat family #Hob Gadling begging Dream to intervene and help the sad child #death is an enabler and a queen #dream goes along for the heck of it #but also becomes mildly attached #jason todd #batfamily #batfam #dream of the endless #death of the endless #the sandman #dcu

Bruce is probably very grateful that the Robins look too young to sneak into most places undercover because it means they have to involve him in or can't go through with all of their craziest ideas.

#I have a hc that Alfred has worn a comm and gone undercover in a fighting ring or something for the kids so they can still investigate #But they can still break into most places which is the reason he's gotten so many new grey hairs #but seriously they can't even talk their way into bars let alone go undercover in the mob or something #so basically he's grateful they can't get up to all the stuff he could when he first started out #batman #bruce wayne #batfamily #batkids #this is a no vents/windows/can't just break in situation fyi

My controversial DC comics take is that Batman (and the Batfam as a whole) is an okay strategist/tactician. Like Batman is a detective and he's amazing at that but every other ability is a secondary skill he picked up while learning to be a detective. He's not the world's greatest martial artist, strategist, or escapologist, he's just good or okay at all those things. The real strategists of the DC universe are the Wonderfam.

#Personally I think the best strategist in the Batfam is probably Dick. #Maybe it's Damian but I think Damian lacks the cooperation skills necessary to ensure his strategy works. #Tim is out because Cassie leads YJ for a reason. #dc comics #comics #dccomics #I think the best strategist of the Wonderfam is Nubia with either Origin. #Either she's raised by Mars (god of war) and therefore yeah good at strategy or she's guardian of Doom's Doorway + a warrior princess. #batfam #batfamily #wonderfam #wonder woman #If someone asks what Batman does the answer is Detective Work? He's the JL Detective he investigates things for them

Amity Parkers in Gotham

Casper High students graduated. As much as they loved their town (which now included ghosts as recurring residents) they knew they had to go. Not because Phantom didn't do a good job, or that ghosts attacked daily (on the contrary, after Phantom's intervention the destruction became concentrated in the Infinite Realms), but they had to go to a university. That's why most of them applied to Gotham University, it seemed right.

Sure, Gotham wasn't as cool as Amity, nor did it include dimension travel to the Realm of the Dead (Amity Parkers had access to the Infinite Realms as long as they abided by Walker's rules), but they had a great scholarship program, and the city was so chaotic because of its heroes and villains that it felt...like home.

The problem was that no one taught Casper's ex-students some basics: Feeling afraid, avoiding your attackers, not attacking back. Things that seemed like common sense did not go through their heads. After years of dealing with ghost attacks they had gotten used to it, and knew how to counterattack.

So, after their arrival they were knocking out rogues, stopping robbery, and looking bored at the prospect of dying. That made Batman suspicious of a secret society of young soldiers, although it didn't really make much sense, was someone training teenagers? The batfamily was worried at the prospect.

At some point, there was even an "undead" attack in what was called the Justice League; Of course, the Amity Parkers were the first to establish a secure site and prevent the invasion from advancing. At the end everything seemed lost and the undead epidemic was about to spread out of Gotham, but Dash snorted and said that he would "contact a friend that can help", which raised the suspicions of the League.

Danny, who was taking a year off before starting his university studies, raised an eyebrow at the group he had with his old classmates. He shrugged before transforming into Phantom and going to the place, in a few minutes the invasion was over and Bruce was 90% sure that there was a secret society training a teenage army.

#dpxdc #Amity Parkers are just different #Bruce can't understand them #at the end Danny helped but invisible #he didn't want the attention #of course Martial Manhunter noticed him #dp x dc #dc x dp #Amity Parkers don't know what is normal #they punch rogues #and call it a day #Batman is sure there is a secret society in Amity training an army #he needs to investigate that #at first he tough they were trying to be vigilantes #but they just punched the rogues ans continued with their day like it was normal #Batfamily is worried #Justices League is worried too #undead army is just the worse choice to confront Amity Parkers #they have experience with dead #Poor Bruce #Danny will probably study in Gotham too

Me trying to explain why Damian wasn't being homophobic in that line but that he was saying that he wanted to beat homophobic cops and if they actually read the comic and not just a panel they would understand:

#damian wayne #dc comics #damian wayne al ghul #batfamily #no really #don't you hate when they take a panel out of context to make a character look bad? #the only oc thing was that the writter mske him look like he didn't investigate well because #like just putting pride in google #the first thing that will appear would be the march #so that was oc #but he wasn't being homophobic #just confused #also #if you read the comic you would realize that even after that line #he said a ton of supportive things #read the fucking comic well #robin 2021

There's always people theorizing how the Batfamily hides Jason disappearance and reappearance, but I literally haven't seen anyone use the best explanation: Witness Protection.

Like this literally answers every question. The Death Certificate? They had to fake his death. The empty grave? Obviously it had to be believable. The time when Wayne Heir "Richie Wayne" refused to step foot in Gotham and talk to his father? He was pissed about Jason's (non) death. Brucie Wayne's very real depression after his death? Well he lost contact with his son and he was under immense stress from the government.

Like this literally answers every question I can come up with. Why has no one said he was in witness protection? And if people have done it, send me fics and prompts because I'm obsessed.

And the best part is, the Waynes are so stupidly rich that they could pull it off. Lex Luther could try and conduct his own investigation but somehow he can never find anything concrete. And if he gets too close either Babs hacks them or Tim just calls up Conner for a distraction.

One time Jason gets cornered and asked how he felt about returning to his life after being in Witness Protection. Unfortunately, him and Bruce weren't on the best terms to explain the whole story but he comes in clutch. He spins the tale about how heartbroken he was to see his brother, father and grandfather grieving and how honored he was when he learnt his new little brother idolized him. Tim got ahold of a copy of the interview and will never let Jason live it down.

The media doesn't ask Bruce questions about Jason's death because last time they did he broke down and a suddenly furious reporter chastised them and reminded them that while Jason may be alive Bruce still mourned his death. The picture of Bruce in tears at the interview is currently one of Jason's favourite lockscreens.

Same goes for Dick. Any questions of his brother's death results in (1) Richie Wayne ready to throw hands at any and everybody, (2) his wife (well one of them) Barbara Gordon threatening the reporters or (3) That same Metropolis reporter chastising the whole community again.

#dc comics #batfam #bruce wayne #jason todd #yes the reporter is clark #hes ready to fight for b and dick #vicky vale wonders if jason todd wayne was in witness protection due to something involving the red hood #jason goes on twitter and bashes the red hood's whole persona #dick grayson retweets that red hood is trying and is just a little lost #the official batman twitter likes that tweet #it causes a huge mess for both barbara and jim gordon to clean up #they knew they shouldn't have gotten involved with gothams pet billionaire and his weird kids

When Tim Drake ran into Killer Croc while infiltrating Arkham, he didn't survive.

To those not familiar with Batman Lore; there was an incident where the Joker was using Joker gas on a bunch of other villains, and Tim went to investigate. Croc snagged his cape, but he got away.

Unfortunately, the cape landed on a chewed-up skeleton, and the batfamily was misinformed of his untimely demise, and Dick Lost His Shit.

This is what led to the infamous incident of Dick beating the Joker to death.

So, slight change.

Tim genuinely did not survive that Croc encounter. He got away, to be sure, but he succumbed to his injuries deep, deep in the sewers.

Very deep into them.

So deep they probably weren't actually sewers anymore and were just an underground cave system filled with gross water.

After managing to pull himself up from the water and onto a stone outcropping, with strange sigils carved into the floor, Timothy Jackson Drake falls into the arms of Death.

Danny, meanwhile, was minding his own business when he became aware of the tugging sensation of a summoning.

...And the distinct disgusting aftertaste that came with a human sacrifice.

By the time he arrived, the baby core was already humming discontentedly above a fresh corpse. A corpse that belonged to a kid that was far, far too young.

There was still a connection, albeit faint, from the baby core to the body.

So Danny, all of thirty and panicking something fierce, tries to force the baby core back into the body in front of him.

Nothing doing.

The body is willing to accept the core, to feed off of the ectoplasm Danny was willing to feed it and convert that energy into the life-saving healing that the kid needed, but the core was weak.

So Danny...improvised.

He reached into himself, and managed to painfully peel off a splinter of his own core, and fed it to the baby one. He'd be the equivalent of a swooning victorian maiden for a few years, but if the kid was able to survive it'd be worth it.

The baby core accepted it, ate the sliver of power it was given, and melted seamlessly back into the body.

Danny waited. And waited. And waited.

And waited.

And with a bright flash of light that seemingly changed absolutely nothing, the kid started breathing; his wounds started closing up.

Job done, Danny grabbed the kid and phased him through the earth and to the city above. He could already feel himself getting faint, so he just dumped the kid somewhere the kid's core recognized as a good spot and dipped back to the summoning circle, and back to the Infinite Realms.

Danny did not realize what he had just done.

Tim's body had, in that flash of light, had it's DNA changed much the same way Danny's had, if not more so.

Same in regards to Tim being a baby halfa, who has had no reason to believe he has any form other than his human one.

Different in that Tim's DNA now no longer reflects Jack as his biological father.

It reflects one Daniel Fenton.

May I request a yandere bat family with a Venti! Reader who has powers similar including his personality (except the reader doesn't drink alcohol)

I love your writing take care 🍟✨✨✨

B-but Venti’s whole personality is about alcoholism-

I’ll try my best tho so here ya go.

TW/CW: Reader takes the form of Bruce/Damian’s ancestor so they have black hair. But it isn’t their true self so make of it as you will. Soft Yandere. Multiple Invasions of Privacy.

YANDERE! BATFAM x VENTI! READER

You’re an immortal wind spirit. You reached the level of godhood quite a while ago and spent your days roaming the Earth.

Let’s say you were friends with Bruce’s (and therefore Damian’s) ancestor long ago, and after their death you took their shape.

Knowing these two’s genes you were quite the good looking fellow. Almost blending in as their distant relative.

You have no need for food, or other basic necessities. Hell you didn’t even need to go to school as your dominion over the wind allows you to know everything that has been spoken.

But you took it upon yourself to always be there to guide your friend’s progeny, and thus you found yourself in Damian’s school as his classmate.

You seemed pretty lax. Carefree. Maybe even lazy. Damian didn’t really care much about you aside from the fact that you looked a bit similar to his father. Many people had black hair anyways. It’s not like you were super cute and his eyes kept wandering back to you or anything.

But then you aced many of the classes.

He never saw you study. In fact you spent most of the class trying to distract him or conversing with his other classmates.

This caused him to do an investigation about you, where he found out that you don’t even exist.

At least in the eyes of the government and even the files his father kept.

You meet Tim similarly. Let’s say you three of you go to the same college and similar to Damian, you also decided to take care of the other batfamily.

…

You kind of bullied the poor guy.

You clicked pretty quickly and he was swift to start stalking you. But then also found himself with the same trouble of your ‘non-existence’. But unlike Damian who launches a full investigation, Tim has a one track mind.

He results to surveillance.

Dude has no care whatsoever about your privacy. He watches you wherever you go.

You know this, and are kinda bummed that you have to pretend to pee and do other human things. But since you’re immortal and well- know everything- you don’t have a sense of privacy + don’t react like a normal person.

Instead you pay him back by bullying him on his perversions

Like when he jerked off to you changing clothes

Or his secret collage of you which definitely contained photos of you being naked.

People are kind of offput by how Tim is obsessed over you, but are just completely baffled by how you reacted.

Like instead of going to the police or something you breach his privacy back instead and expose him. You don’t even seem perturbed just annoyed too.

In any case all this, including Damian’s investigation leads to you confessing the truth, and telling them that you were there to be a guide and whatnot.

Of course, everyone but Tim are a bit skeptical. But ever since you began helping them in vigilantism and showing just how much you knew and helped them they eased up.

Bruce has a little resentment since you weren’t there when his parents were killed. But gets over it once he found out how you’ve been tirelessly repenting

By stalking them

But I mean at least you tried

The rest I’ll cover more in the other ask that also requested Venti! Reader. Hopefully I’ll get to that soon.

EXTRA: Damian definitely witnessed your exchange with Tim and was jealous that you were giving his predecessor attention.

So he bullied him with you.
