#slade thinks danny is dicks son
Text
Deathstroke kept working at the lock on the upstairs window while talking to him, calling him "Nightwings secret son" in the creepiest voice Danny has ever heard as Danny watched him from the computer monitor. This guy had been trying to break in and kidnap Danny for days but the house keeps fighting him off and Danny was on his very first stay-cation away from ghosts. He wasn't going to deal with this wierdo if he could avoid it.
He had put a lot of work into setting this up. He and Jazz had convinced thier parents to go to a two week occult conference in Fawcett City and leave Danny home alone while Jazz was off taking collage classes in Central City in hopes that it will help her get into her dream collage when she turns 18. Danny even sent Vlad on a while goose chase that sent him into the path of that trench coat guy people kept warning him about before shutting down the portals.
Danny refuses to let all of his effort go to waste and the house is pretty well defended so he decided to just use this as entertainment as he munches on dry cereal.
They didn't have any popcorn in the house and he's not leaving with captain crazy still out there.
Eventually Danny gets bored and @s Nightwing on Chirper simply telling him that Deathstroke was trying to kidnap him and it has something to do with Nightwing. He sends him a fail compilation video of all the times Deathstroke failed to get into the house and getting progressively more angry. The last video showed Deathstroke absolutely enraged.
Danny thought that Nightwing probably had a similar situation with Deathstroke that Danny himself have with Vlad and that he'd laugh and show it to all his superhero friends and they'd mock him together.
He was not expecting half of the batclan in Amity Park 3 hours later. Nor was he expecting to get kidnapped by the bats the moment he was out of the house.
He was most upset by everyone calling him a dick though. Was what he did really that bad? Talking back to adults usually didn't get him anywhere so he just kept quiet and went with them, expecting to have to give testimony to the police or something.

I love your writing but I don't read any batman comics or watch any batman shows or seen a single batman movie except like, two and a half episodes of teen titans go. I mean I do know some basics from internet osmosis but that only covers Wayne family adventures pretty much. So ummm who were all those people with dick lol
Oh yes! I like writing stuff that's really widely accessible because I like beating out my own tunes, but I've been on a big comic kick again and sometimes I will write stuff that's less accessible. The new stupid long story will also not be as accessible, sorry! I try to explain stuff for people unfamiliar with the canon plotline.
Without going into a ton of spoilers for the main plotline of the fic, but covering what I stated in the fic:
Dick Grayson AKA Nightwing is the leader of the Teen Titans, a superhero team that (in this universe) he joined when he was 18. In actual canon he was a founder with Wally and Donna (and Garth but who cares). Out of universe, the Teen Titans were invented in the 1960s. The Teen Titans listed are from the slightly later stages of the 1980s comic. The team is formed out of:
Three members from the original 1960s team: the Flash's sidekick Wally West (Kid Flash), Wonder Woman's sidekick Donna Troy (Wonder Girl, later Troia), and Dick Grayson (Robin, later Nightwing). They've all always been friends since the 60s and Donna and Dick especially are best friends, something I think people should mention more! Guy/Girl BFFs, cowards!!!
In the 1980s they were joined by the other, arguably most famous members of the cast. They're most famous because they were the cast members from the 2005 Teen Titans show, which was the cast from the Teen Titans Go show you saw. They would be Victor Stone (Cyborg, who has a serious personality in the comics), Garfield Logan (Beast Boy, jokey and fun in any incarnation), Koriand'r (Starfire, warrior alien princess), and Raven (Raven, hellspawn and #gothgirl).
More obscure dudes also listed (AKA not major characters in the TV show or around since the 60s) would be Joey Wilson (Jericho, who is Slade's son and mute, so he uses ASL). He's not that obscure. More obscure is Panthera (panther lady?) and Danny Chase (deeply fucking annoying). I admit I only know Panthera and Danny Chase from osmosis, I've only read a few comics from this run. There were other guys too but they looked boring.
All that you really needed to know is that they're his friends, Kori is his girlfriend, Dick leads the team, that they're a #ragtagbunchofmisfits, that Joey is Slade's son, and that Dick has a guilt complex. Kind of.
Slade Wilson AKA Deathstroke is like Dick's Arch Nemesis and was the first real antagonist for the series, as well as the antagonist for the most famous arc The Judas Contract (whereupon Slade planted Terra in the team as a #spy). He's probably most famous for being the main bad guy in the cartoon, and who uh kinda fucked as a bad guy. He's always canonically the "COME JOIN ME" bad guy and is always after Dick as an apprentice. There's an arc in both the comics and the show where he kidnaps Dick and forces him to work for him, which causes some pretty lasting trauma in him in both incarnations. He's also a terrible dad and a failhusband. I don't read him too much in the comics so I can't say for sure how interesting the comics get with him, but his relationship with Dick is always very fraught and complex and has a lot of history. He has a lot of respect for Dick and he takes him seriously as an adversary no matter his age but he thinks Batman is lame and that Dick should kill people and stuff and JOIN HIMMMM.
In this AU, basically because Dick's life before Nightwing was kept under absolute wraps, and Slade was so obsessed with the apprentice stuff, I think Slade thought it was funny/satisfying to make up this whole shared backstory between them that Dick just couldn't disagree with jkalsdjf. Because Dick is much more of a spy than in canon he also has a lot of juicy blackmail (from his ex-wife, I think lol) on him. So they have bother a closer relationship and a more M.A.D. one than in canon. I think Slade finds it delightful that Dick isn't as good of a person as he pretends, and I think Dick lost most of his family at once, including his very drill sergeant and hard-edged father and must have, even unwillingly, reacted to somebody who was actually trying to parent him. Well. "Parent".
Wow, that was long and I didn't even digress. I'm always stunned by how y'all will read something no matter the fandom if it's by me, thank you so much! It makes me very happy to give you guys stuff like the Steph thing, where I love the idea of it being an introduction to Batman. Unfortunately internet Batman and comics Batman have. uhhhhh. drifted. apart. and. harder to click into if you aren't as into the comics, but thank you brave soldiers!

I was doing some crossover challenges with myself when this idea hit me:
Dick & Danny & Peter are so going to be besties if they meet.
(A mess mix of comics & cartoons & movies, but mostly based on MCU & YJ & my own headcanons)
Teenager superheroes around the age of 14
Have secret identity
Love flying through the sky, either by actual flying or swinging
Like making jokes and jabs when fighting
Know science and techs. 
Have a too big heart, shoulder too many responsibilities even if no one asks them to
Can be so smart if they want
Can be so BAMF if they want
Can be so troll if they want
Danny and Dick both have a middle-aged villainous handsome male as off-and-on archenemy who also want them as their apprentice (Deathstroke & Vlad) (Does Norman Osborn count? Then maybe Spidey can join the club too)
Then you realize a big part of their life (especially the superhero part) involves a billionaire senior who acts like a father figure (Tony, Bruce, Vlad). (Vlad at least tried, in his own creepy way)
Sharing similar physical fit, slender build with high flexibility and quick moves instead of brutal strength (spider strength is an extra bonus) Danny and Dick even share blue eyes and black hair (I see a Parent Trap AU coming) I also believe with proper costume & makeup Peter could probably pretend to be Robin/Nightwing (use his inhuman flexibility to imitate Dick's acrobatics) (And Danny can just hack their body)
Then I can't stop making up all kinds of prompts: 
Dick and Danny are actually distant relatives. They look almost identical if you do not pay enough attention. So one time somebody actually mistook Danny for Richard Grayson aka Bruce Wayne's ward and kidnapped him. It's the first time Danny got kidnapped as a Fenton so he actually found it exciting and pretended to be Dick just to mess with the kidnappers. (Dick also found it super hilarious when he had to rescue "himself")
And one time when Dash mistook Dick for Danny (during a field trip or something). He tried to put up his bully routine but had no idea who he was dealing with… Dick just faked to be punched and did some of his impressive acrobatic moves and Dash was like HOLY SHIT I BROKE HIS SPINE. I think Dash was traumatized.
Dick taught the other two how to deal with noisy reporters, either as a masked hero or a public figure. The latter is kind of useless for the two. Until someone claimed Peter was Tony Stark's secret son.
Because all of them are multilingual, they sometimes keep switch the language they are using both for fun and for safety. (Peter at least speaks fluent Spanish in MCU, Danny learnt Esperanto in canon, and not to mention our Boy Wonder) (How the hell you guys just pick up a new language so easily?)
One time Dick and Peter made people believe Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke and Wade Wilson aka Deathpool were actual brothers. Slade was not that impressed but Wade thought it was absolutely brilliant. And got himself killed so many times by Slade because he kept showing up in the most annoying way and called Slade "dear brother of mine".
Bruce and Tony do not really see eyes to eyes, constantly jab at each other if they meet at social galas. But if things involve Lex Luther or Norman Osborn, they definitely stand side by side. Vlad is like a frenemy-more-enemy, he is not a big tech head like the others so they don't encounter that much.
I image Dick would seek advice about how to be a solo hero from the other two once he becomes Nightwing.
The three like messing around the labs together. They are kind of banned from the Bat Cave after few times. Stark's lab is their favorite place since Tony mostly just let them play as long as they don't cause big disasters. They don't go around Fenton's that much though because there are too many strange accidents.
They figured out the others' secret during a shared school camping trip in different ways (sounds too lame). Peter: super hearing. Dick: as the ward & partner of the world's greatest detective he just notices things. Danny: as a ghost, he can sense people and a simple mask cannot hide your natural aura. (this one is totally headcanon)
Danny and Peter have so much to talk about how they have to hide their secret identity from people close to them and suffer major angst because of it (while basically all of Dick's family and friends are in the hero community so he can't really fit in their shoes).
Since Dick and Peter both have experienced the death of their loved ones in front of their own eyes, sometimes they seek each other's company and share the feeling when the grief hits them. When Jason died, Peter helped a lot because he knew firsthand how it felt when you blamed yourself for not doing enough to stop the tragedy.
Lazarus Pit is linked to the Ghost Zone.
So much to brainstorm but I really have to my midterm now.
