My Beloved Dear
Jason Todd X Wayne! Al Ghul! Reader
Bruce Wayne X Talia al Ghul
Warnings:suggestive content, explicit language and angst.
Words:1462
Arthur's notes! Third P. O. V. Good mom Talia! Damian Wayne is Damian Todd. Y/N is pregnant with Damian
Requested taglist @too-strong-to-lose
Jason wasn't the one who was killed by Joker it was Y/N. She had been living with her mother whilst visiting her Father and Alfred.. And especially Jason. Though things take a turn for the worse once she tries to take Jason's place when Joker plots to kill him.
Tumblr media
Jason stepped into the dark hideout after a night of patrol. He turned on his lights and sense a presence behind him. He instantly turned with his pistols. A woman comes from the shadows.
"Talia!"
"I did not come here to fight you child" she scoffed.
"threaten me?" he said coldly, he knew shouldn't be cold but... He seemed to have lost a bit of himself.
"I came to tell you matters to which you should know. I am fully aware of your affections for my daughter"
Y/N his love. He had to take a deep breath from the force that fell onto his chest. He lowered his arms putting his weapons back in his holsters.
"inform me about, what Talia?" he asked with a calmer tone.
"you know I am to never lie just as my father. Be that as it may you will likely not believe what I am to say regarding.. My daughter" Talia then sadly smiled. "why don't you be a gentleman as I know Alfred taught you to be and make me some tea young man?"
"ok.. Sure have a seat wherever you like" he was quite glad he took Alfred's tea ingredients when he had got the chance.
She sat on the chair. He would love to see what shades of red Bruce would turn seeing her in here. As he poured a cup for her and himself. He can't help but wonder why she's here. Guilt? A chance to know her daughter's lover? He misses Y/N. He misses seeing her kind smile and her e/c eyes. Being able to tell her about his day and talk to her for hours without end. He gave Talia her cup and sat on the other chair.
"thank you" she said kindly
What the hell? Did he miss something?
"Y-yeah sure thing" he awkwardly said
That's when he understood how Bruce fell in love with her. She had a hidden kindness. She had layers.
She looked to her tattoo on her wrist of Y/N's favorite flower "my father underestimated Joker's madness just as he underestimated my love for your father. Though he did not believe in death that had no purpose.. You know well he's used the lazarus pit to remain alive for many years.. I was a grieving mother but she.. She returned to us damaged and disappeared into the darkness.. I tried to track her down for months but I've been able to gather she is still alive"
Jason felt a train hit his heart as it pounded and for the first time since she died, he feels he can breathe. He wants to feel her soft touch. She's alive. She needs him. He has to find her. His eyes wanted to shake. He wanted to hold her in his arms again. He wanted to cry.
Talia stands placing the cup on the coffee table and placed her hand on his shoulder "your silence proves how moved you are, by what I have said. Proving to me that you do indeed love her and for that I grant you my blessing"
He nodded with a sad smile "I am very in love with her"
"rest now, in a few moments we will begin our search"
"wait, wait! Does anyone else know about this" he asked then her face fell further. "does Bruce?.."
"I cannot expect my beloveds reaction to my presence be accepted with welcome arms" her voice hinted with a genuine heartbroken tone
"maybe not, I guess he deserves to know" things between Bruce and Jason are not exactly functional.
"yes, he does" she agreed her heart sinking knowing how much she has broken his heart.
"thank you" he said, she gently bowed her head and then left
He couldn't stand because he's in such shock. He couldn't even move. He takes a deep breath reaching for his phone. Dick nearly fainted when he got the phone call from his little brother. He almost thought it was just Jason hoping too much.. Though the heaviness in Jason's voice. Triggered Grayson's big brother mode, he had to help him find her.
Bruce's sitting in his chair in the Bat-cave. He smells Jasmine, rose of taif.. Talia!
"Talia" he rose from his chair to see her. "if this is regarding our daughter I already know. You should have nev--" she prevented him from speaking further
"how dare you?!" she yelled "Y/N is my daughter just as much as she is yours! Do you believe that I truly wanted her to have the life I did? I never wanted to lie to you but my father was going to betray you! I lied to spare you! She refused to not know you. Do you believe I wanted to be a assassin? I wanted to be different for you but you could never see--" Bruce grabbed her hand pulling her into a passionate kiss. One reason he had truly missed her. Second reason was that he was scared, scared to lose her, to lose their only daughter. They both sat in the batmobile to go search for their precious daughter. The silence was agonizing.
"I told Jason" she admitted to her beloved.
"you what?" he asked in a angered tone.
"he loves her I understood his pain in losing something that you once held dearly"
"you mean to tell me you knew of their relationship without my knowledge" her beloved said looking at her with a appalled look on his face
She scoffed "you're the detective or perhaps mother's intuition is stronger than your rice sized brain"
He grunts "dammit Talia"
Y/N shakes as she hears Joker's sick laugh sending a shiver down her spine. She's gonna throw up! She's so scared she'll never get out of this nightmare. She vomited into the alleyway. She finally stop her knees desiring to buckle. She walked for a few minutes but she doesn't know how much longer she's got. She crouched into a fetal position on the ground. Nothing seems clear. She can hardly even remember where she came from. She closed her eyes seeing a bright smile. His kind eyes with a heart warming laugh. She feels her heart beating fast with her e/c eyes shaking..... She jolted awake hearing a faded man's voice. She moved back, as he touched her face, crawling backward. She can't catch her own breath from complete shaking hands. All she could see is red, black and leather from his uniform. He takes off his helmet. He smiles, she knows that smile.. His arms were open in a cautioned manner.
"hey! Hey! Y/N it's me, it's me" he takes his mask off "it's me babe" his eye's shake with a brittle voice.
It's him. It's really him! She began to sob and weakly open her arms. His face broke into a helpless cry. Jason smiled lifting her into his arms. She buried her face in his neck. She heard, him began to cry. He takes her to the Bat-cave yelling for Alfred. He ordered Jason to lay her on the stretcher. They hooked her to an I-V. Alfred used a scanner to look for internal injuries. He gasped stopping near her abdomen. What he saw brought him to tears. He looks to Jason whom was kissing her cheek and then her lips. Alfred reached out to his grandson motioning him to look at the scan on the small computer by the stretcher.
"is that...." Jason gasps, how? The Lazarus brought them both back.
"it is indeed" Alfred smiled, she would have to be put on bed rest. He was more than willing to help her, breakfast in bed, her medicine. Anything his granddaughter would need.
Both Talia and Bruce run in to see their daughter, to the where she laid. She could see Jason his tears were stained on his cheeks. Jason glared to Bruce with enraged steps. Dick came into the room he nearly fell from shock to see his baby sister. Talia then looked seeing the image of her grandchild on the screen.
"you knew she was alive for 4 weeks! You didn't even have the guts to tell me!!" Jason said with a angered glare
"you kept your relationship with my daughter a secret from me for years. I only found out hours ago" he said enraged with folded arms.
"and what was I just a damn soldier to you?!!" Jason accused
Talia instantly got between them pushing them away from each other.
"both of you silence yourselves! Y/N is going to have our grandchild and I will not have the child live with quarrel among this family" she ordered to the men whom were behaving like children.
"Y/N is pregnant?!" Dick nervously exclaimed

DP x DC prompt
The Bat family and Talia was on a mission. Ra's had captured a ghost and was using them to steal information and carry out assassinations.
Before Bruce could call in Zatanna or Constantine, Talia told him she has a contact who is more specialised in ghosts. So Bruce, Damien, Jason and Talia all went to Amity Park.
Danny wasn't expecting his ex-girlfriend (who he hasn't seen in years) knocking at his door along with her family. But he didn't mind the break up was amicable. So when she told him she needed help dealing with a ghost he was happy to help.
While he was getting the gear ready for her, her two sons Jason and Damien was standing around asking him questions (interrogating him). Of course the question of how he knew their mother came up. So he told them the truth. They were both surprised and Damien seemed to be angry at him for it. Then Jason asked why he would help her out if they hadn't seen each other for years.
It was simple really she was his favourite ex. When he saw how confused they were he told them she has that title because she was the only one of his ex to have never tried to kill him before during or after their relationship.
That got Jason wheezing on the ground laughing while Damien looked utterly perplexed.

Polycule Talia, Jack and Maddie
It all started when Damian chose Bruce over her, and Talia, while never admitting it, was massively depressed about it. Imagine her surprise as this tiny astronaut-dressed child tried to cheer her up, and that was how she met the rest of the Fenton's later.
+
Don't ask how.
But somehow that led to Talia joining a polycule with Jack and Maddie.
It had been a Maddie's idea, and that was how Danny and Jasmine got a new mother.
Jack was like how her EX-BELOVED always was before public; but he really was a loving Himbo.
+
Even Ra likes Jack much more than Bruce; this husband of his daughter didn't even once try to change her views.
Ra liked Maddie, Danny, and Jasmine too.
Maddie tried to kill him the moment she saw him the first moment, that alone shows she can protect each other and family.
Danny liked his sword mom, and Jazz liked to talk with her too.
+
For. Talia: This was life; she had a good relationship, and they let her help her father, not like Bruce was against it.
So she was having a second home stay in Amity Park with her Mad Scientist husband and wife and step children.
She was teaching Danny how to read the stars and Jazz how to use a sword.

R̸̜̈́u̵̟͘t̶̺̓ḧ̵͇l̷̟̋ē̶̘s̵̨̎s̵̩͒ṋ̵̋e̵͙̐s̵̡̈́ś̸͙
Get in the Water prompt Storm alternate version Animatic Fanart
There was a spell, Constantine had explained after his own trip to the afterlife. Something to contain Danyal's soul long enough to resolve his unfinished business, to keep him still and away from the influences of his fellow dead. And if that didn't work, Constantine continued, then there were ways to force a spirit to rest. It was better for a ghost to move on by themselves, but if there was no other choice...
Damian hoped Danyal would choose to rest on his own. That he'd let him explain, finally.
Danyal had been weak. Strong in a fight, but too weak to kill, and that infuriated Damian. But he was scared more than he was angry. Because that weakness would get Danyal killed, could get Damian killed, could get the League killed. Even the newest recruits had a stronger desire to kill than Danyal.
He was the weakest link in the chain. And while their mother had taught them to be ruthless, Danyal had remained limp with mercy.
They needed Danyal's body. It would be Danyal's tie to the earth, Constantine explained as he joined them on the Batplane. The souls of the dead don't often linger on the mortal plain. The magician had speculated that the only reason Danyal had managed to manifest in the waters below Gotham was because of Damian's presence, but his remains would keep him stable this side of life for however long it took to heal his soul.
But was that even possible?
"I don't know, kid," Constantine admitted during the plane ride. "Wish I had a better answer for you, but... Your brother is a siren now. And from the sound of it? He really wants you dead."
"Then why didn't he kill me?" Damian argued. "He had hours to do it... or minutes..." The time he spent in that green world felt longer than the ten minutes Father couldn't find him, but... "He had me in his grasp and let me go. Doesn't that mean he didn't want to-"
"Have you ever heard the phrase 'Playing with your food?'" Constantine asked instead. "Sirens aren't known for letting their prey go. If we're out here, its because he wants us here."
They--Damian, Father, Constantine, Grayson, and Todd--landed in Nanda Parbat after a few hours. There was a crypt inside for members of the Al Ghul family who didn't use the Lazarus Pits. It was there Danyal's body was entombed. They would have to steal it.
And it was unfortunate that Constantine got them caught within five minutes of entry.
Damian glared daggers at the man as they were led towards the Lazarus Pit. Constantine shrugged. "What? I don't want assassins chasing after me because of some light grave robbing! Besides, we need to explain the situation anyway-"
"And what, precisely, needs to be explained?" asked a woman from inside the chamber. The heroes were pushed inside, only to see Talia Al Ghul standing where her father should have been. The Lazarus Pit hissed and boiled behind her, casing the cave in a ghoulish light.
Damian could hear laughing.
Father stepped forward. "Talia. Where's Ra's?" Grandfather was the biggest threat to their plan succeeding.
Mother... looked away, unable to meet his gaze. "I do not know. At the present moment... the Demon Head is missing."
You could hear a pin drop. "What do you mean?" Father demanded.
"It's as I said; he is missing. Yesterday, he was alone in the Pit, and hours later, no one could find him." She glanced behind her, at the waters, before looking back at them. "I had assumed he'd left to care for the League's interests. Now-" She tilted her chin up, looking down at them. "What exactly do you need to explain? What is so important that you break into my home to tell me?"
Stepping forward, Constantine explained. Mother looked grim as he spoke of Danyal, but did not interrupt. "We want to put his soul to rest. But for that, we need access to his body-"
"You dare ask for such a thing?" Mother snarled. "As if I even believe you. My son would never-"
"Your son?" Grayson snapped. "From the looks of it, you didn't care for either of your children!"
As the group descended into an argument, Damian heard laughter again, Danyal's high pitched giggle harmonizing with something deep and bone shaking. The Lazarus Pits loomed over him, beckoning him, whispering. Damian took a step towards it as his mother said, "I don't even have his body!"
"What?" Damian snapped at his mother, focusing back on the conversation. "But the crypts-"
"After your brother's murder, the Demon Head ordered for the culprit to be found. But they were never discovered." Because the culprit was Damian, he knew, and no one else ever learned about it. "I wanted to place him in the Pits immediately, but I was ordered to stay my hand until the murderer was caught. But..."
"He never was," Damian finished for her. "And then you put Danyal into the waters?"
"Yes." She closed her eyes. "And he never came back out. Even if it was too late, he'd still come back as the undead, but he never rose from the waters."
"Then this is entirely my fault."
"Finally," Danyal whispered in his ear, breath chilling his skin.
Damian did his best to ignore it. Danyal was haunting him. Danyal needed to be put to rest. If they couldn't do it Constantine's way, then they had to put him to rest another way.
Grayson looked troubled. "Robin, it's not your fault-"
"I'm the one who killed him," Damian confessed. Everyone stared at him. Grayson, horrified; Mother, blank; Father, betrayed. Damian continued, "I overheard you and Grandfather arranging a fight to the death, and I knew who would win. I couldn't... I couldn't allow Danyal to die without the Al Ghul name, in disgrace as the one who wasn't good enough. So I killed him, assassinated him, and now he's haunting me for revenge." Damian looked at the Pit. "So go ahead, Danyal."
"Damian, what are you saying?"
"Danyal wants revenge on the person who killed him; I'm giving it to him." Todd was staring at him. Damian might not be able to see past his helmet, but he could feel the respect coming off the man. "Danyal, I know you're here. Please come out." If he focused long enough, he could just making out wheezing breaths. "I can hear you, please-"
Father grabbed Damian by the shoulders. "Damian, listen to what you're saying! You're offering your life up for nothing!"
"B's right." Grayson placed a hand on his shoulder. "There's got to be another way. You don't have to do this!"
"Yes I do!" Damian ripped himself out of Nightwing's grip. "I'm the one who killed him! I'm the one at fault! My brother is suffering because of me, I have to save him-"
Stepping between them all, Mother slapped him across the face.
And the Pit's whispers fell silent.
Damian stared up at his mother, cheek throbbing with pain. She glared back. "Cease this behavior at once," she snapped. "There's no need to get so worked up over a ghost, of all thing-"
"T̴̯̃al̵̬͂ị̴̿a̵̮̕ ̵̼͐A̴̗̕l̷͈̆ ̴͚̓G̵͎̀h̷̻͒u̶̜͋l̴͍̀."
This time, everyone could hear Danyal's voice, filled with static and corrupted. Damian swallowed as his dead brother continued,
"D̸͕͠o̶̪̅ ̸͍̆ỹ̵̗ö̸̲ũ̸̧ ̶͖̚k̶̻͊ņ̸͐o̸̹̚ẘ̸̙w̷̛̹ḧ̸͚́o̷͉̅ ̵͈̑I̶̪̽ á̵̞m̶͙̂?̸̻͂"
The cavern shook as the Lazarus Pit bucked, a wave forming in the absolute center of the water. The wave rose, pillaring up above their head and brushing the ceiling. A cold wind rushed through the room and blew out the torches on the walls, leaving only embers and the occasional florescent behind. Damian braced himself for the waters to rush out and flood.
Instead, the water fell back into the pit, like it had never risen in the first place, leaving behind a lone figure in its wake.
"Danyal," Mother whispered.
And the dead boy glared back at her with pure contempt.

What if we combine the concept of Danny being Bruce’s bio kid, and the concept that Danny can’t be the ghost king just yet, so he’s the prince and someone else has to be the official regent? Because that then opens up the possibility of Bruce randomly being summoned every time someone tries to summon the Ghost King because as far as the realm is concerned he is Danny’s parent, and they’re asking for the ghost King, not the ghost Queen.
This could lead to scenarios like:
-Cultists trying to summon the ghost king only to summon Batman.
-Cultists trying to summon the ghost king only to summon Adoptions Georg Himbo Bruce Wayne
-Batman being in the middle of a meeting at the watchtower only to suddenly be whisked away to a slumber party full of teenagers who didn’t expect this to work, and are 100% sure they didn’t do it right because how the fuck else would they get Batman?.
-Bruce Wayne getting yoinked all magic-like in the middle of his own gala, only to show up two days later with torn clothes somewhere wildly far away.
-Ra’s and Talia fairly reasonably assuming that Damian is the prince of the afterlife because Talia fucked the ghost king, and Ra’s being mad that he had no idea about any of this. -Bruce having a fucking aneurysm because he can’t figure out why the fuck all these attempts to summon the ghost king end up summoning him, because he can’t remember doing a single thing that would earn him such a title.
-The rest of the batfamily desperately trying to figure out when the hell Bruce became the ghost king.
-Alfred preparing a post-summoning kit/routine because sometimes Bruce gets sent back, and is both very disoriented and definitely not allowed to go on/finish patrol afterward.
-Finding out he has a son he didn’t know about because a ghost came up to him and told him to get his feral child under control.

Older! Damian Wayne X Pregnant! Wife! Reader
Bruce Wayne X Talia al Ghul
Damian and Y/N are thrilled to be parents but with that joy is worry as things do not go entirely to plan.
Arthur's notes! Third P. O. V
Requested taglist @too-strong-to-lose
Tumblr media
Y/N paced in the bathroom her hands nearly shaking. She always wanted to have a baby. Though this was so soon, so soon. They'd only been married for a year and now she's pregnant. A gentle knock on the door came to her causing to startle into panic and hide the test into the bathroom trashcan.
"my love, I did not intend to startle you. Are you alright? Are you prepared for the day at the Manor"
"it's ok, you didn't scare me.. yeah Dami I'm ready.."
She opened the door, Damian kisses the top of her head. Her words become stuck in her throat as she was unable to tell him. Everyone greeted the young couple with open arms. She was completely nervous. She stood pacing in the living room alone eating a bag of chips, the exact thing she had been craving for all day. Her heart tried to calm down. Of course she was married into a family of detectives. They were sure to find out. For all she knew, Damian knows. Cassandra most definitely knows she feared. She takes a deep breath sitting down at the table exhaling deeply. This stress was exhausting her. Dinner was served. She sat right next to her spouse. While on her left side Cassandra intentionally sat right next to her. She glances down to Cassandra's phone as the text was written.
-it's OK to be scared. Damian will be thrilled to be a father. I know because he told me before he married you. You'll be such a great mother. I'm so happy for you both😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️-
She smiled to her, to silently thank her. Y/N didn't leave a crumb on her plate having felt extra hungry.
"so Y/N Dami you guys down for patrol?" Grayson casually asked starting conversation
"tt, of course. If you think you still have the skills old man" Damian mocked to his older brother.
"for the last time I'm not ancient or old" Grayson defended
"well of course not" Barbara laughed kissing her husband's face
"I think I'm going to take a break tonight" Y/N softly said in a apologetic tone
"awww I thought we girls could patrol for old times sake" Stephanie whined missing her, little sister..
Ever since she was young Y/N became very close to the Wayne family. Cassandra kicked Stephanie's knee to scold her sister.
"but we completely understand" she then added.
"thanks Steph, I'm going to go to the bathroom I'll be back" she said raising to her feet to go pee for the 6th time since she had been there.
Damian looked down his heart in turmoil. Something feels wrong. She had been so distant from him. He feared he did something to upset her. In truth she was scared of something happening. She wanted to wait until there was a better chance of for the baby to make it. Though that's not what Damian would have wanted. As soon as she was done with the bathroom.. She texted him to meet her in his old bedroom. Damian quickly rose from his chair to hurry to his wife.
"Aww gross please tell me they're not doing THAT"
"just shut up Dick" Jason threatened his stomach turning.
Damian sees Y/N with tears in her eyes. His heart fell now believing something was wrong. He walks to her pulling her into his arms. She smiled knowing she needed that.
"my love what's wrong? What have I done? Are you ok? Please tell me"
"it's OK, everything is OK" she dried her tearful cheeks "I'm pregnant"
He felt stiff in her touch, she lifts her head to him. He had a shocked look in his eyes that scares her.
"a baby?.. I'm going to be a father"
"yes Damian" she said her heart racing.
He smiled widely warming her heart. A Baby. A sweet little baby. He hugs her gently. His throat began to shake. He sits her on the bed and lifts her shirt over her abdomen. He kisses her very small bump. She runs her knuckles through his hair.
"beautiful" he kisses her bump "so beautiful"
As her, second trimester, they told everyone. The family were thrilled with the news. Y/N's emotions were everywhere as Damian dried each tear and shushed each worry. Though the worry increased as Y/N seemed extra exhausted, extra nauseated, and extra emotional. Talia knew the second she saw, her daughter-in-law she was pregnant. Now she was certain she was carrying twins. She called their doctor to ensure he confirm her suspicions. Talia sat in the chair her knuckles resting on her chin. Was she overstepping most certainly but she has her concerns for a reason. Bruce stepped into his room to see his wife with that certain look on her face. Oh no.
"what did you do?" he sighed
"you're absurd darling, I have done nothing"
"the last time you had that look on your face. You bought Grayson his childhood elephant Sitka to assure him you were not who he thought you were"
"and I did prove my point!.." she sighs "it's regarding.. Damian.. I.. Y/N I believe is barring twins"
"and this is upsetting for.."
"I called their doctor to confirm my worry!" she snapped
"Talia!" Bruce sighed frustrated, but he still loved her.
"do not lecture me, you of all have no right.. Alfred perhaps, but not you!"
"understood, why are you upset that she may be pregnant with twins?"
"23 years ago I told you that I had lost our baby.. That was no lie"
Bruce's heart broke in two. That was a very terrible day. He understood than that she was pregnant with not one but two, however she lost one. Thanksgiving. As the whole family again joined together for Alfred's lovely food. As it was the only time they were all together for holidays or Alfred's demands. Y/N didn't complain as she was starving and had been craving Alfred's food for weeks.
"so you two excited about the two little bundles" Stephanie exclaimed with a joyous smile
Damian's eyes soften to adoration to how truly beautiful his wife looked. He felt his heart was so warm and whole with her presence.
"very, we discussed perhaps going on a Babymoon before the twins arrive" Y/N halfway smiled in a tired tone
"NOO!!" Talia and Bruce said surprising everyone
Talia clears her throat "perhaps waiting a year would be wiser. You're body needs much rest"
Y/N couldn't help but agree "that is true..."
Damian rolled his eyes at himself. He thought the vacation would ease her rather than be worse. Christmas eve soon came after and Y/N was do in 3 days. The doctor had put her on bed rest from her contractions continuing to come closer together too soon. Y/N hated it. Damian put off patrol and work. So she loved being able to have her husband to herself. Damian stood in the workout room in their house to blow off steam. Y/N sleeps until she feels a sharp pain and winced harshly. She waited 5 minutes, shit. She can wait and let Damian do what he wants for a few minutes. She needed him for a long time. She then felt another
"f-fuck" she cursed "DAMIAN!!!!"
Damian drops the weight and runs into the bedroom. He takes his wife's hands. Her eyes tightly shut as she breaths through the contraction.
"I'll get the bags!"
Hours later....
"AHHHH!!!!!" Y/N screamed pushing her first child into the world.
"it's a boy" the doctor announced
Y/N covered her face crying. Damian smiled wider as he came closer to his child. Damian cuts the umbilical cord and takes his son with love in his eyes. A baby boy. He lays their son on her chest. Damian proudly kisses her for enduring what she did. As the baby is being cleaned. Y/N was exhausted, but she prepares to push again.
"your second child is in breech position Mr and Mrs. Wayne. We must preform a C-section!"
"no! What?! This--" Damian's whole body was nearly on the erge of shaking
She squeezed his hand "D-Dami... it's OK"
Damian looked into the Nicu both his daughter and son laid in separate cots. They were precious, so small.. So innocent. They need their mother, he needs his wife. He hears rushed approaching footsteps. He turns his head to his family their hearts falling seeing the despair in his eyes. He looks back to his little baby girl and baby boy.
"our son was here naturally however our daughter was breeched.. Y/N is.. She.." he fights every emotion down "she lost a substantial amount of blood.. They do not--" he stammered gritting his teeth tightly, cursing the tears that were now falling down his face.

Damian was 10 when he was shipped off to his father.
He was 10 when he finally decided enough was enough, packed his stuff, called Mara, and the ball went rolling.
The moment Talia left the mansion, the DNA test confirmed, and Bruce emotionally compromised, did he finally move.
He'd stared his father down, felt nothing when he stood up and mild annoyance bloomed when his father asked– demanded– where he was going.
"You're a fool if you believe I will stay here." He spat, eyening the man in disdain.
It became very apparent that Damian wasn't what Bruce thought he'd be, what Talia thought he was.
"Your mother entrusted me with your safety–"
"I don't need protection. Mother wouldn't care if I stayed or not." He blinks. "Where is the cave? I wish to use the computer, I have people to contact."
Reluctantly, Bruce shows him the way, questions of who and why, and the plans he apparently had were asked.
Damian answers with vague wordings and enough open spaces for interpretation. Words greatest detective, he can figure it out himself without damian spelling it out for him.
When they do arrive in the batcave, Tim Drake— Robin— was sitting at the computer.
Huffing, Damian shoved the entire chair away from the table, taking its place and started typing.
"W— hey! What—? Who?" Tim looked between Bruce and Damian, despite being sleep deprived his eyes caught on the similarities, mouth dry and mind calculating.
"Does Dick know?" Is all he asks, leaning back and watching the younger boy work.
"Not yet."
A heavy sigh.
"Silence," the boy huffs, annoyed. "I'll have to make a call."
Glaring daggers, he pulls out a old burner phone, pressing the single number saved inside and waits.
"Damian."
"Hello, brother."
('Oh. Did he have another?' Tim wonders, watching Batman's face, blank like a paper sheet. Nothing. It feels like all his efforts of bringing the man back were just flushed.)
Or in simpler words:
Danyal al Ghul, the first successor of the demons head, born with his twin Athanasia al Ghul, to be the future of the league.
They were reborn with their former memories, stuck in place, constantly watched and trained. Manipulated. Weaponized.
All for a man playing immortal.
They'd only started planning when two more children came into the picture, Damian and Mara Al Ghul.
Danyal now Daniel "Danny" and Athanasia now Eleanor "Ellie" Nightingale took matters into their own hands and separated to take the kids in and end this.
End the league. End the cycle of whatever this, this cult is, and take over.
In many universes, Ra's al Ghul does not die, always returns, wielding his people like mere weapons.
In this universe, Danyal al Ghul is acknowledged as a traitor, killer of the Demons head and Older Brother, borderline father even, to his tiny brother Damian al Ghul.
In this universe, he raises Damian instead of Talia, shows him the cracks of this careful manipulated picture and listens when Ellie tells of her travels to this tiny child with a sad sad fate.
In this universe, Ellie takes in their tiny cousin, shielding her from the cruel eyes of a man not worthy. She trains her, shows her the ropes and takes her along when she leaves.
In this universe, Damian al Ghul and Mara al Ghul live a good live, protected by the twins of old souls and have a somewhat normal if not very complicated childhood.

The Messenger is Already Dead - 4
Part 1 &2 Part 3
“Talia fell in love with Bruce Wayne!?” Danny says, whipping around to the man in question.
Everything starts piecing together like the worst Fruitloop themed puzzle ever. Danny had seen his face when Batman had removed his cowl of course, and it’d looked familiar, but that could have been anything, he never thought- Bruce Wayne!? His biological father, a man who hadn’t even known he existed, who Danny had never known, was Bruce Wayne? The richest man in America?
“You didn’t know?” Tim asks and Danny wants to scream.
He doesn’t, because that would be unassassiny-like and he’s not 100% sure it wouldn’t come out as a wail- but the desire is very much there. It feels like half of his life-view is crumbling before him.
“No, I didn’t know,” Danny starts tersely, “Talia never told us who Batman- who our father was, not until we could beat her in a fight. I… never got the chance.” He winces at the last statement, feeling the way the room goes colder at the reminder.
“Tt, clearly you would not have been able to anyways.”
Danny feels his eyes flare in frustration as he looks back to Damian, “I was a better fighter than you were, it’s not like you were finishing her challenge any earlier than I was, Damian.”
“The tutors may have favored you but it was not the tutors who bested you was it?” Damian snarled back.
“Whoa Damian-“
Memories flickered through Danny’s mind.
A fight. A snowy cliff. Red. Pain. Cold. Darkness. Green-
“Danny, you good there?”
Danny jerked his head up, not realizing he’d curled in on himself, “I’m .. fine.”
“You sure? You kind of… flickered,” Nightwing said, motioning vaguely with his hands, “Like a lightbulb.”
Danny cringed, “It’s one of the side effects of being like, this,” he motioned to himself, “I’m not exactly meant to exist on this plane of existence so sometimes I.. don’t? I guess? I don’t know, ghostly stuff is always pretty hard to explain.”
A “Hn.” Is all that comes from Bruce.
Danny practically feels their stares close in on him like walls.
“Whatever! The ghost stuff doesn’t matter!” He says, throwing his hands up and rising slightly off the ground, “What matters is that Talia is after me and is probably coming after Damian, so you need to figure out how to stop her. I didn’t come to talk, I came for protection.”
Danny takes a second, mimicking a breath and collecting himself. He couldn’t blow up like Danny, not when he had to make them see him as Danyal.
An Al-Ghul shows no weakness. An Al-Ghul shows no weakness.
“Tt. There is no reason to continue to refuse to call her Mother.”
Danny feels his eyes flare as turns back to where Damian stands, still scowling. Just like he always was.
“I’ve already told you, Damian,” He says, restraining the urge to yell that Maddie was his mom not Talia, “She was not a mother to me and I will not pretend she was when she is the reason I am being hunted.”
“She raised us,” Damian says with a scowl.
Danny feels old anger spark in him, “She trained us.”
He remembers cold nights and hard floors, cruel orders and harsher whips.
“She made us stronger,” Damian says with stone in his voice. Danny hates it, hates it because it’s exactly what they were always told. ‘It made them stronger’ but that didn’t save him so what did it matter? Damian and him never did anything but fight, they never saw each other except to fight, so much so that the first time Jazz invited him to dinner he’d thought she’d poisoned it and tried to burn down the kitchen.
Danny hates it. He hates it. He hates it. He hates it.
He forces himself to let it go. This isn’t him. Not anymore.
Danny turns away from Damian completely, fists still tightly clenched as he looks Bruce- not his father, never his father- in the eye, “Now that you have proof I am who I say, how do we stop Talia?”
Back to business. Just finish this and you can go home.
Bruce turns back to the console, “First, we need to figure out her goals, and where….”
Danny steels himself as Bruce- as Batman-continues. He could do this.
He could pretend to be a ghost of himself for however long it took.
Pretend that he really had died -stayed dead- that day with Damian.
Pretend that he remembered more about his life in the league than he did.
Pretend he wasn’t an entirely different person now.
Pretend like he still knew who he was.
Pretend like every word from Damian’s mouth didn’t pull him back to a time when he was small, too small, but never weak, and-
Yeah, he could totally absolutely do this.
Definitely.
Danny cringes as the butler tells them all that a meal is ready and everyone starts to move away from the darkness of the cave. With every step into the warmly lit lights of the manor above the cave, Danny feels his hackles rise more.
It feels exposed, making him feel like his lies are muddying just by being there, the warmth of the atmosphere, tones of family, grief, growth, loss, suffocating him as he goes deeper. Knowing that he’s part of that, he’s not going to stay, he’s lying to Damian, he’s hurting him, he’s-
Danny gets one step in the dining room before he sees the family dining table sitting there, an ornate chandelier illuminating the plates laid out at each spot, favorite foods in the middle… and two slightly elder ghosts at the head of the table with love in their eyes as they watch the family sit.
He doesn’t belong here.
Danny takes a staggering step back.
He doesn’t belong here.
Damian notices his retreat, mouth opening to speak-
He doesn’t belong here.
Danny turns tail and vanishes, throwing himself back through the ground with intangibility until he reaches the cave. From there he pauses at the entrance they’d come through, turning back instead of running.
The seconds pause is enough time for someone else to notice him.
“Running already?”
Danny lurches, nearly squeaking as he startles and his visibility flickers. He follows the voice to a figure leaning against a slightly dim doorway on the side. An illuminated locker room sits behind him.
“You’re… Jay, right? The Red Hood?”
The man hums and walks closer, “It’s Jason. You’re the new kid. Talia’s huh?”
Danny wants to shrink in on himself, his muscles tightening as he gets closer, “I’m- yeah.”
Jason scoffs, looking up the stairs like he can see straight to the dining room, “God, B and this fucking family…” He turns a critical eye to Danny without moving his head, “What’s got you fleeing so soon? It didn’t look like you were causing any sort of trouble-“
“I just-“ Danny sighs, rubbing the back of his neck, “I don’t belong here okay? As far as you all know, I’m not even supposed to exist anymore. I doubt you want a dead kid messing up your family, right?”
Something in Jason’s face twitches, his shoulders shifting, “Take it from me, kid… they haven’t even considered that.”
Danny tilts his head, really looking at Jason for the first time, something tickling at the back of his senses.
Jason doesn’t hesitate to meet his eyes.
He looks back through the exit tunnel, turning back a second time, “Tell ‘em I’ll be back okay? Just… not now, alright? But I’ll be back.”
And Jason nods, a silent guarantee.
Danny returns it, finally turning and flying full speed through the tunnels until he meets open air.
It feels slightly sticky compared to the coolness of the cave, but Danny simply looks around to get his bearings before turning into the distance with determination.
He doesn’t stop until he sees the shine of a golden globe pass under him. He enters the hotel straight through the walls of the elevator shaft, dropping his ghost from the second he hits carpeted halls.
And then he pauses…
Which room were they in again?
Thankfully, he doesn’t have to wait long, as one of the doors gets thrown open moments later by the lumbering figure which can only be his dad.
“Ghost!” Dad says as he bends through the doorway, ghost-finder in his hands as he looks around until finally spotting Danny, “Danno! You’re back!”
The incessant droning of the ghost-finder is overshadowed as Danny struggles to breath around his Dad’s hug, “He..y.., Da..d” He wheezes.
He sees Jazz come bursting out of the hotel room next. She gives him a hard look before they’re both swept into Dad’s arms and practically carried back into the room.
His mom is there, tinkering on a tool Danny himself had helped design a few weeks ago.
His dad, of course, goes straight for the fudge in the mini fridge. Danny steals the remote from Jazz and plops himself down on the bed free of machine scraps.
Even as he has to keep Jazz from smothering him with a hotel pillow, Danny smiles. He feels his shoulders loosen for the first time all night.
This. This is where he belongs.
The demon brat’s twin was… something. They hadn’t really had the time to start forming real expectations, but most of them didn’t expect.. a ghost.
Tim can see the way Bruce’s eyes linger on the wafts of snowy hair, aching guilt lining his body whenever Danny’s back is turned even just slightly.
It doesn’t go away as they all file up to a late dinner. By Alfred’s order, they all go, pair by pair trickling up to the dining room like the most awkward yellow brick road ever.
Somewhere in the stilted chaos, Jason manages to slip out from the group, probably the first time he’s left the manor without fighting with Bruce in months.
Of course that hardly matters when the moment they step into the dining room, Danny freezes by the door, flickering again.
Tim watches as his eyes jump across them all, the table, the room, the chairs- Danny steps back and-
Vanishes.
Damian is lurching towards the door, “Danyal!”
But it’s empty. All of them had felt his presence leave, even if they hadn’t realized that’s what it was, suddenly the room is a few degrees warmer and just a bit emptier than before.
Tim looks to Bruce.
They don’t know what that was, why Danny left. Was he just scared? Or could something have happened to him? They didn’t know enough about ghosts, and what they did know said they weren’t very strong. Boston Brand couldn’t interact with the physical world without possessing someone- Danny had already said he wasn’t meant to exist on this plane, had he run out of strength?
Dick approaches Damian still brooding in the doorway, setting a hand on his shoulder- Damian throws it off immediately.
“I am fine,” he snaps, “Danyal is a coward.”
Bruce stands, “Damian, don’t say that-“
“Why shouldn’t I!? What does he have to fear!? He ran away like a coward and left me behind!”
Silence settles in the room.
Tim decides to break it, “Any chance you’re not just talking about him not staying for dinner?”
A knife pierces the wall behind him.
“I will end you, Drake.”
“Master Damian! I do not have enough portraits to continue covering holes in the paneling!” Alfred scolds, standing at the doorway.
Damian stops, glaring at them all before turning to Alfred, “I’ll take my dinner in my room please, Pennyworth.” Then he turns on his heel and strides from the room. It is too fast to be anything but fleeing.
Steph slumps into the chair beside Tim, “Boys are weird.”
Tim scowls, “Oi.”
“I stand by my statement.”
