Call this one an in-between-quell, because I honestly did not know Damian was a vegetarian until I made my last post. Anyhoo, have fun with this one lol!
i know its the mets, but this is the coolest shit i’ve ever seen a human being do
Wtf????
Smoove with it too
This is the kind of shit you see in anime that shows that a certain character is stronger than other characters.
“Pathetic. You can’t even hold the bat you dare step to the plate? Have you no respect for the sport?”
reminds me of this gif
Baseball players are to be feared
Reblogging for the last one
^Same for me
They just kept getting progressively more “woah”
much woah
Oh my god this is a lucky universe
every time this post comes around, my favorite part is the “I know it’s the Mets” qualifier at the beginning lmao like how baseball that this zillion note posts starts with “sorry for putting this hellteam on your dash, bUT”
Y’all have no idea how hard I was trying not to laugh in class at that poor bird
They…they just blew up a fucking bird…
Ball’s dead. Bird’s dead. I’m dead
World Heritage Post
personally my favorite thing about Mr. Bird Evaporator is this imagine being the poor fool tryna rob this man’s house only to be instantly transported to the same dimension as that bird
Are we all forgetting that Randy Johnson then went on to make a sports photography company, and the logo for said company is the obliterated bird?
Damian's new classmate was what most people would deem as strange, Damian however could not see him as anything other than suspicious. Daniel Knight had joined in the midst of the school year, claiming to have moved here with his father Fredric Knight (first area of suspicion, a parent willingly moving both them and their child to Gotham) for a new start following his fathers divorce. The boy was reclusive when not spoken to directly, however he would not stop talking when a topic of his interest would come up. After searching further into his past (as he does with all his classmates) Damian found a relatively normal past, the only outstanding things being a noticeable drop in grades at the beginnings of freshman year relating to an undisclosed accident resulting in lichtenberg scarring starting from Daniels palm, and presumably up his arm being hidden by his sleeve. Apparently this accident left Daniel with irregular tremors and, every once in a blue moon, seizures. Damian had thought about taking this suspicious blockage of information to Tim or the Bat Computer to be bypassed, however the idea of sharing Daniel this cases existence with the rest of his family for some unexplained reason bothered him greatly, so Damian has come to the decision to figure out Knight’s true intentions on his own.
Meanwhile Danny’s just trying to live his new, semi-normal life in peace. After a reveal gone wrong results in some good old vivisection, Jazz Sam and Tucker recruit the help of Clockwork to find Danny a new home, where he can heal from both the physical and mental wounds. Clockwork ends up dumping Danny into the DC universe alongside Fright Knight, who was insistent on going with him, feeling responsible in helping to protect his young prince now since he feels he failed the first time. So with a bit of spacetime razzle dazzle, Tucker messing with stuff he probably shouldn't have messed with and a very tearful goodbye with promises to check in every day, Danny goes off to start his new life as Daniel Knight. It was going ok so far, he took half the year to himself, focusing on healing. Also so Frighty could adjust to the whole pretending to be human thing. Danny doesn't have any friends yet, and to be honest hasn't made the effort to make any (Jazz would be disappointed if she knew that), but there's this one boy in Danny's class who might be even weirder than him. Danny can feel Damian's eyes on him, knows how he follows him around without a sound (Danny really shouldn't be able to tell, he only knows because he isn't fully human(and in a weird way, Danny thinks that's kinda cool)), and whenever they do make eye contact Danny can see and feel the boy fluster and shy away.
Maybe he just needs a friend too.
Short DPXDC Prompts #809
Danny is extremely weak and injured and he really hates overshadowing people. He does the next best thing: takes over the shadow of a person. Unknowingly, Danny just possessed the shadow of Red Robin.
Sleep deprived Red Robin arguing with is shadow is not an unknown sight. The shadow arguing back is new.
It doesn't vocalize its disagreement, but it does subtly move, gesticulate, and generally give off vibes. Subtle enough to be mistaken for a trick of the light if you aren't watching it closely for a few minutes, yet clear enough to subconsciously pick up on.
Now, Tim is just wondering how the hell his own shadow, an entity bound to his own movements and incapable of facial expressions, is managing to give him an Alfred level deadpan disappointed stare. Damn he needs caffeine. Another glance at his shadow and; again, despite having no face to express, he's 94% sure it just did Alfred's patented arched brow. Maybe he should turn in early and get some sleep.
Alfred: Ah. Master Tim. It is delightful to see you resting for once!
Tim: My shadow started being disappointed in me. I realised I probably needed sleep if my own shadow was hinting I needed rest.
Alfred: ... I see. I am glad you can in fact, see reason.
next time Tim sleeps, Alfred brings cookies to Danny shade
Alfred holding a cup of tea and a plate of cookies.
Alfred: Now. I would like to make a deal with you young shadow.
The shadow flickers and dips in curiosity.
Alfred: Every time you convince him to sleep you get a plate of cookies.
The shadow vibrates with excitement.
Alfred: Excellent. We have an accord. Your payment for tonight
As Danny gets stronger he will reach an arm out of the shadow to take the cookies and plate into the shadow with him. Eventually Alfred brings him some post its and a pencil and they become penpals of sorts. Danny eventually reveals to Alfred Through these notes that he's a ghost that got weakened by some kind of battle and needed a place to hide and rest to regain strength. So possessed Tim's shadow for now. Alfred starts bringing the shadow 3 meals a day.
3 square meals a day is doing wonders for Danny's recovery.
He's not quite ready to climb out of Tim's shadow yet, but he is strong enough to start subtly helping on patrol. Little things, of course. A slick patch here an untied shoe there. Not leaving Tim's shadow means his influence is a bit constrained to places where Tim's shadow crosses. But Danny still helps how he can. It's nothing much.
At least, not until Tim finds himself in some real danger. A mission gone sideways a clown with a gun to Red Robin's head on live stream. And Danny, possibly panicking slightly, definitely not wanting to find out first hand what the insides of human people looks like. He just kind of reacts. The clown is fortunately standing on Tim's shadow, so it's a simple matter to turn the floor there intangible and let the clown fall into the sewers.
The whole of Gotham watches Red Robin's shadow eat the Joker live.
Danny got extra desserts that night. And the rogues of Gotham are now more afraid of Red Robin. As if the crazy bastard wasn't scary enough. Tim of course need a to have words with his shadow. because, what did you do?
The problem is how to get an answer. Tim can yell and talk and argue all he wants but it doesn't change the fact that his shadow is a shadow. It doesn't have a face and it doesn't talk. It takes him almost a week to figure out the post it note trick
Tim would pull up a PC and keyboard.
Tim: You can touch stuff, you can type. Get to it!
Danny : I helped! Why r u mad?
Tim: What are you? Why my shadow?
Danny: Friend! Injured. Healing slowl.
Tim: Ok. So till you are healed you are hiding in my shadow?
Danny: Yes
The IMPLICATIONS
1) Tim has somehow completely missed every moment of communication between Alfred and Danny Despite Danny Being His Shadow
(Poor sleepy lad)
2) Alfred is the first and only person to notice Danny. Batman wouldn’t let Tim go out with a passenger, he’s compromised
(Tim arguing with his shadow is too normal)
3) Tim argues with his shadow, goes to bed when he loses, assuming sleep will fix whatever is wrong with him
He then assumes his shadow will go back to normal because it’s just a shadow
And maybe Danny does lie low for a bit? But Tim still gets the disappointed stare feeling when he’s pulling all-nighters, and he doesn’t wanna get to full argument stage, so he sleeps more
Alfred rewards this with cookies and Danny heals
Tim does not question why Alfred is bringing extra cookies, or the slightly strange placement (or the new lamp beside the bat computer, which casts his shadow across the desk where the cookies sit)
He does not wonder where the cookies go, assuming he ate them while working
4) Tim doesn’t ask Alfred how to talk with Danny after he decides he’s real, either because he assumes Alfred doesn’t know or because he forgot and must reinvent this wheel himself
Danny does not help him because it’s funny
5) it takes the others an embarassingly long time to work out the whole shadow thing and that Alfred has known all along, especially when he explains how:
Of course Danny chips in to everyones’ arguments that Tim is present for
Tim’s shadow has been independently flipping Damian off with both hands for months
He also gives the others’ shadows bunny ears or moose antlers when he’s bored
Ok, so, these were my tags in my original addition.
They are suddenly relevant with the addition of Danny arguing with, insulting, and messing with the others. Because if Tim is Liminal enough to pick up on the Ghost Speak vibes, the others must be as well. In fact, they may understand clearer since they've all been temporarily dead.
I can't decide which I like better, Damian picking up on the Ghost Speak most clearly since he was raised around a Pit, or Jason since he seems to have been permanently altered by the Pit what with his unfading Pit Rage. Maybe they could both be equal? IDK.
Point! Point is, Danny shadow sending fuck you vibes in Damian's direction and Damian just bristling with anger over it but not being able to say anything without himself sounding like Drake on day 4 without sleep.
The 2nd prompt I got while in the shower
First prompt
Danny gets adopted by Bruce Wayne rt
Only problem is that he's King of the infinite realms and while he knows his new dad is batman he doesn't want him knowing he's even dead
Naturally danny has to sneak out to go do ghost king stuff, but Bruce has the whole manner and outside monitored with cameras
Danny, who grew up with a house booby trapped with weapons to kill him on a daily basis got a new skill of making technology ignore him
Thus leads to him altering all the cameras in the back of the house to simply not show him- at all
Like he could be standing in front of it and all they'd see is the background as if he was never there
Eventually the bat fam figure out that while they're out doing their highly business their new member is sneaking out without detection something none of them are able to do
Now they're placing bets on if Danny's a meta or not but Bruce knows he doesn't have the gene
Now ensues chaos of everyone trying to catch him using powers only to find danny has mastered the act of being 100% human
All while he complains about the paper work Constantine gives him
Again if anyone writes this (full permission!!!) Please Tag me <333

ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED WITH YOUR THOUGHTS MY GUY
So I said I'd end up doing this tomorrow, but I couldn't let this go, so here, part 1 Of what I will tentatively call the Shadow Adventure of Danny, or SAD (if you have a good name idea, please say so. Also, this was done on mobile, so I'm sure there will be many, many errors
So, I lied, apparently the brain worms are too strong, So here’s part 2! Same as last time, I’m on Mobile, and I’m sure there are many errors/mistakes, please tel me and I will edit it once I can!
Just a little sensitive
So like, in a lot of Fanon lore, ghosts are very empathetic creatures. They have bonds that rely on empathy, families created via it, and need it to thrive.
Also I'm partial to purring being a thing that ghosts and halfas can do.
So like, I just.
So WHAT IF Danny got a gig putting together fancy parties, one of the heavy lifters for that shit.
Get's called in to help put together a gala hosted in the Wayne Manor.
Minding his own business.
Gets left alone in the Ballroom as the Waynes come in.
Let's assume this is the entire, including extended family, Waynes, and that they've kinda got their shit together. They have their issues and their differences, but under it all is this overwhelming feel of Family.
And the overwhelming, sheer familial surge of emotions just knocks Danny on his ass.
From the ceiling, where he'd been in the rafters hanging up decorations.
Now he has to pretend to be injured, because he thinks Metas aren't allowed in Gotham. Luckily, smothering the automatic purring his ghost half is tossing out is creating an awful wheezing sound that he can play off of.
He'd been hanging the twinkle lights-after getting them unraveled from the semi-tangled mess Joey had left them in by accident when he left for his break-in the rafters, getting the room ready for the sensory room they the gala needed for those needing a break from the hubbub-which, first off, he very appreciated knowing they had it-of the gala.
Focused as he was, he didn't pay much mind to the door opening, figuring it was either Joey back already or a supervisor coming up check in on the progress-mostly set up, the couches and giant pillows and stuff for sitting on, as well as the tables and such were already up, just the lights and the noise dampening for the connected wall was left-or something.
He hadn't expected to be hit with a metaphorical train of overwhelming emotions.
-love-joy-siblings-dad-family-brat chaos-pretty-appreciation-tired-amused-surprised-
Normally he could brace for such large emotions, knowing where he was and who was around helped, but he'd had no warning until it was too late.
At least he was over the pile of pillows in the seating pit.
It still hurt when he landed, forcing a wheeze out of his throat that almost turned into a purr as the overwhelmingly positive emotions were closer now.
Seeing it was the Wayne's-all of them, ancients help him-had him holding back the purrs but it ended up sounding like he was wheezing, like the time Shulker had managed a bit hard enough to break his ribs, only he was, at most, only bruised on his back, even though that fall for a normal human would've at least broken ribs, even falling into pillows.
Fuck how was he supposed to hide he wasn't injured but not get sent to the hospital. He really didn't want the big bat to make him move for 'being a meta.'
There was a rush of noise around him. Talk.
People were talking around him, panicked now and he hates the taste of panic, but still was holding back the purring that wanted to be released, so he was still wheezing and unable to reassure them he was alright.

DC X DP fic idea: Phantom's number 1 fan
Danny is used to his classmates cheering for him. Well, he's used to them cheering on his ghost side, but it's the same thing.
He's a small time celebrity in the eyes of Amity Park youth. Almost everyone as Casper High adores Phantom- even the A-listers.
do you ever sabotage your own free time? like wtf is that about? i want to play this game or read or do something specific but instead i will just stare out the window or scroll mindlessly???
why do people in dnd each occupy a 5ft by 5ft square, how far apart do you think people need to be? why are dnd minis afraid of touching
dnd minis standing five feet apart in a dungeon cuz they’re not gay
look, if the guy to my left has to do the turbo-macarena while charging a bolt of flesh melting while the guy on my right is doing every bruce lee move at the same time and the guy in front of me is flourishing a broadaxe like hes doing yo-yo tricks im going to give each of them enough floorspace to not liquefy myself

BLOOD CIRCLE
So glad that non-scouts can appreciate the term blood circle properly.
Dan, reformed after three millennia in an isolated time pocket and lots of therapy, decides to try being a hero again.
Only, he's not very good at it. He looks fucking terrifying, and when people see him they tend to run towards the actual danger to get away.
So he's hanging out, invisible, on a random cities rooftop, when a pair of kid vigilantes plop down and start complaining how their mentors don't trust them ecause they haven't had any real combat experience. But to get experience, they need to be out there!
So while these teenagers plan something monumentally stupid, Dan realizes he has a unique opportunity.
Dan becomes a training villain.
A villain that specifically is meant to test kid vigilantes.
He does stupid, petty villain shit and the adult heroes quickly realize that this villain, instead of hurting their kid sidekicks, is teaching them between blows.
Dan's powers are nothing to sneeze at, so a kid vigilante holding their own against him for at least four minutes is considered impressive.
But he never, ever, hurts the kids.
There was an incident where another villain hurt a kid in front of Dan.
No one knows where that villain is.
@simplestoryteller
I? Love this? Like an actual trained Adult Hero would be able to take one long look at this Terrifying Walking War God of a man and go "he... you're say you stopped him from 'stealing toys from a community center'? This guy right here." "Yes. It was close but we did it!" "........ I see."
Like? Cannonically Santa exists. Dan probably teams up with him every year to "Steal Christmas" (oh noooooo~) just to be defeated by the kiddos like a yearly exam. Cause Santa can legit SEE he's on the Nice List Now.
Other villians are like? Oh so he's a pushove- *chokes as an unbreakable grip slams shut around their throat like a bear trap* "No."
He keep apprenticing Heros who are going through that "I've lost faith in the Light" phase. Keeping them at a place they can come back from. I LOVE this AU.
Looks for signs of stress or unhealthy hero/sidekick relationships and hunts down the heroes for the equivalent of parent teacher conferences.
Like, the kids are p unaware that he's actually one of their teachers.
Basically to adult the entire situation looks like
Yes!!! Dan has big scary growls but putting him under a microscope for a second makes you realize he’s literally all bark and no bite.
I would LOVE to see Dan being a regular “villain” of Young Justice. Dan would be DELIGHTED to fight Superboy, Impulse, And Robin. Even better add Cissie and Secret into the mix!
Dan carefully teaching Superboy how to better use his TTK and laser vision when needed.
Dan making extremely elaborate plans to give the Robin enrichment and help him flex his smarts in a way that helps him learn new skills.
So much could be done with this!!!
One time Dan hears Superboy cry out in pain after Metallo managed to successfully capture him.
Dan sees red.
IT IS TIME FOR MY BOY
Y’know who Dan becomes sudden and surprise best friends with? Waylon Fucking Jones
He’s been running his training villain shtick for a while, people are learning his villain name
(He went with Dan-ger because he spent those years getting better not thinking of cool secret identities)
And then one day he gets a surprise call from another minor villain, Killer Croc
He just had a run in with Roy Harper, one of the kids Dan tangles with, and he’s in a bad place. Waylon doesn’t have the same freedom of movement Dan does, but he wants someone to check in on the kid
And like FUCK is he asking any of the heroes who got Roy to a place where he was looking for death
Dan agrees, makes a note, does a couple wellness checks
(Roy thinks he’s being bullied by small time villains because Talking About Feelings is actually still bad and scary and Dan respects that)
Keeps Waylon in the loop, since the guy asks
Waylon mostly only gets to actually talk with the kids once they’ve officially crossed the villain line, so he’ll hit Dan up for some info once in a while, see if Dan knows anything important
Dan finds he has a lot in common with Waylon these days, and it’s nice to talk to someone who a) isn’t a kid and b) doesn’t judge his mild villainy
(Most villains think Dan’s either too full of himself for a wussy kid villain or have no fucking clue why he holds himself back. One usually leads to the other)
Waylon and Dan team up occasionally for some recreational enrichment of the former Robins
**
The adult heroes though? Well, no one talks about it anymore
There was one JL meeting all about Dan after they saw him snap Metallo in half with his bare hands, where they review all the footage from the kids’ missions
They try and work out his actual power set, made harder because a lot of them do know Dan’s going easy on the kids and specifically training them to find weak points and shit
The way he always dips when an adult hero moves in has also been noticed, and they’re no longer convinced he’s intimidated
(Good for them, he never tried to pretend too hard)
Dan’s officially classed as Not A Threat, but the special classification that means it’s because he doesn’t want to be, not because he isn’t capable, and Batman makes new murder plans
It becomes the official sign that a young hero has fully transitioned to an adult hero; they recognize that Dan has been playing with them the whole time
Dan notes the switch too, and doesn’t play-train with them anymore unless he’s asked
His relationship to the adult heroes he mentored is super different from the other adult heroes though; they’re not gonna tell the next group of kids what happened, but depending on how well each of them took the news that he was testing them out…
Well, they like their Uncle Dan
They all know how he reacts if anyone actually seriously hurts the kids, and quite a few aren’t above calling him in to help if the mentors are unavailable (or just unwanted)
I see your the the heroes know he’s holding back and raise you: eldritch form Dan they think he can’t control (I think ether giant fucking wolf or one of those social spiders) they still believe he’s just teaching rather than a full villain but it’s a very different sort of thing.
Jazz: Danny, I don’t know. I can see that you really like him. but he’s the mass murderer.most wanted. Are you sure Red Hood is a good person?
Danny gestures towards the kitchen where Jason cooks like a Michelin chef.
Jazz: OK, doesn’t matter. We keep him. In this house we need at least one person who can cook. After so many years on cereal and sausage I’m ready to accept that argument.
Danny: We need your killer skills. Here’s the money, the target is cunning and dangerous. Jason: Get your five bucks back. I’m not going to Amity Park just to keep Wes away from you. Danny: You don’t love me :(
Red Hood *stands near Fenton Works with a potato gun at midnight*
Hood: Why do I keep getting caught up in this? Jazz: Parents are right. You’re a manipulative piece of ectoplasm. Danny: Oh, my dear naive sister, I’ve fallen so far, I can’t fall any further. You really don’t want to know what I’m ready to do for two extra hours of sleep.
Jazz:..What are you up to?
Danny:
Jason: Don’t let her distract you with her wiles, honey! Even joking remarks can be used against you in a criminal court.
Jazz: Answer the question!
John: Bruce Wayne, I presume? Bruce: Right. Mister? John: John Constantine. I know this is going to sound strange but I have information in my possession that the High King of Infinite Realms is hiding in your manor. Bruce: Oh, I know that. John: What? Bruce: Lil gremlin scratched my favorite leather couch. John*imagines Pariah Dark*: Are you sure it was.. Bruce: Yeah, a burning crown, a ring.. I wanted to tell Damian to take him back to the trash can where he found him. but he’s already gotten along with our cat Alfred so we’ll keep him. John: But Bruce: All the best. The door slams in front of the warlock.
Decided to stay here? Amity Park is a great place to live and die!
I charmed by an idea that Amity Park is still in the Ghost Zone and/or officially joined the Infinite Realms.
The residents are not stuck. They just collectively decided that the benefits outweigh the possible risks.
Taxes? Forget it, we don’t do it in here.
Destroyed buildings after a battle with ghosts? Your lair will recover itself thanks to ectoplasm around!
Political debates? No, we don’t want to vote, we want to watch Wes’s live stream of the mayor and King of the Infinite Realms fight in their ghost forms ‘cause they can’t come to a single decision about the greening plan for the city.
To Danny’s disappointment, his parents, Mr. Lancer, and the Ancients believe that despite his duties as ruler he still has to go to Casper High.
*~Kuzco theme song but make it sad~
They will pay the price when they realize that the absolute monarch’s advisers are teenagers. Enjoy the Ghost Zone Laws, updated weekly, consisting of memes. Good luck in interpreting them correctly, Walker.
Danny Phantom HeadCannon's/Prompts #13
Danny gets a nap. What consequences occur?
Jazz*threatens the Master of Time with a broom*: Fix him! Now!
Clockwork: How? I'm not a prince and he*points to Danny snoring and drooling on the pillow* is not the Sleeping Beauty.
~~~
Danny*confused*: What a night, right? But now I feel like I have the power to write three essays and beat up Vlad! What's going on?
Tucker and Sam are looking down at him.
Tucker: You passed out. We took you home. You've been asleep for four years!
Danny: Ha-ha. Nice one, Tucker…
Sam: Danny. This time he is not joking.
Danny sits up quickly.
Danny: Mr LAnCeR is gOnNa kilL mE!
~~~
Danny can’t wake up on his own when he wants to. That’s what goes wrong. The nap is the defense mechanism of Danny’s core.
The bad news is that he will wake up only when he’s fully rested and recovered which will take months if not years.
The Problem: His parents thinking he is in a coma.
How will Jazz and Danny’s friends explain to parents that the quickest way for their fully human!son to recover is to rest in the lair of a very old and very dangerous ghost possessed by clocks, not in the safety of their home?
~~~
Sam is really starting to think about asking Amorpho or Dan in a worst-case scenario to pretend to play Danny while he sleeps.
But, spoilers from Clockwork, in the timeline with Dan, when Danny wakes up they’ll forget to warn Dan that the mission is over and Maddie and Jack will have two of Danno. One of them is a bit more of a bully but the Booo-merang reacts to him in the same way so it’s certainly not the evil ghost pretending to be their son. Well, maybe they got too tired and forgot they have twins.
Dp X DC prompt. Asterix and Obelix in the Midwest but make it ghostly.
The whole world considers ectoplasm a life-threatening toxin but Amity Park is..different.
Maybe you heard that themagicecto-potion brewed byGetafixFentons givesthe Gaulish warriorscivilians superhuman strength.
When another supervillain uses his super-powered army to take over the world the Justice League is preoccupied with protecting the Cities. So heroes end the battle with a heavy heart and approach Amity Park, far from other settlements, thinking that all they can do is try to save possible survivors
..but they see the villains running in terror from the crowd of green-eyed schoolers.
~~~~
Maddie and Jack Fanton stand outside their house with a tub full of ectoplasm and give a shot of a spetial coctail for everyone.
~~~~
Maddie: The Justice League? But we didn’t call anyone…I mean, you all are doing some pretty dangerous stuff, and we’ve got nothing but a little Level F attack in the morning.
The Flash sees the old lady which takes her purse from freshly battered outlander.
Old Lady: I’ll teach you some manners!
Flash:..
Maddie: Ida! Nice to meet you. Sam didn’t let Danny drink ectoplasm again?
Ida: Maddie, how can I know? Teenagers are so active.
Maddie: Sorry, Mr. Flash, I’m losing this conversation. Our Danny fell into an ectoplasm tank as a kid, and Jack and I have been trying to control how much he drinks since. Where were we? Whatever, we promise that ectoplasm does not have a poisonous effect in therapeutic doses.
Flash: What about Danny, huh?
A teenager with white hair turns his neck at an unnatural angle and hisses at the hero.
Jack: What do you mean? My boy is absolutely fine.
Flash: Okaaay. But can I talk to the mayor? Jack: Sure, wait till Vladdy’s done fooling around with Danno.
The man points his head to a freak who looks like Dracula and also fight with the teen who disappeared before Flash’s eyes. He swears the kid was just here.
Flash: You know what, I’m not gonna bother them.
DP x DC prompt: All ghosts feed on fears. The Batman receives a signal that Scarecrow has a tourist from Amity Park as a hostage. He rushes into the building and sees the Scarecrow..crying on the floor. The boy uses fear toxin as a vape and seems to be enjoying himself.
Danny: Johnny’s gonna love it. Can I have some more?
Batman: Scarecrow hasn’t attacked in months.
Oracle: The cameras by the docks have been staticky lately. Someone will have to do a physical search.

*lots of sneaking around*
Nightwing: They’re still producing.
Red Robin: But where is it all going?
Nightwing: Time for a little light interrogation.
—
*knock out dozens of goons until they reach Scarecrow*
Nightwing, holding escrima sticks threateningly: Where is all the toxin? What kind of attack are you planning?
Scarecrow, looking up from his microscope: Oh, it’s just you.
Red Robin, flipping through notes: What are you developing? Trying to hurt even more people?
Scarecrow scoffs before going back to his microscope: I don’t have time for this little game.
*Nightwing yanks Scarecrow around*
Nightwing: Make time.
Scarecrow sighs: I actually am very busy. Demand is high and I’ve had numerous requests for a variety of strains.
Red Robin: What villain is requesting you make more?
Scarecrow: I’m not working with any Rogues. It’s my deal with the Infinite Realms. They love my toxins and give great feedback for future experiments.
Nightwing: The Infinite Realms?
Scarecrow: It’s another dimension filled with beings that feed on fear. I admit we got off on the wrong foot, but once we sorted it out, we’ve had a very profitable relationship. I’m barely keeping up.
Red Robin: Let me get this straight: you made an interdimensional drug deal with fear-eating aliens?!
Scarecrow pries Nightwing’s fingers off his lab coat: They prefer “ghosts,” actually.
*Nightwing and Red Robin exchange baffled looks*
Scarecrow bending over his microscope: So, you see, I don’t have any time to spare for Bat shenanigans. Go beat up Penguin or something.
…he might actually be reformable with this? Like, no joke, a respected (if DEEPLY unsettling) member of society? Thats…. that’s ETHICAL science. Those are informed and enthusiasticly willing volunteers. It cant even really hurt them. AND his studies could genuinely help humanity now. And ghost kind. He’s effectively solving Ghost World Hunger. He could get a Nobel prize.
Plus? They ACTUALLY GET his Obsession. Not to mention the whole unspoken “and with this… they aren’t feeding on US anymore or ever again, your welcome.”? Bruce is gonna be cautiously thrilled. He LOVES his Rouges getting their life together! First Harley n Ivy now this? Next is Freeze.
Frostbite comes to pick up a batch for his infirmary while he’s with Freeze, and they strike up a conversation. The yeti agrees to help research a cure for Nora for a discount on the toxin.
Freeze and his wife disappear to the Far Frozen shortly after, and nobody knows what happened - Crane certainly isn’t talking.
