DPxDC Danny the creepy child of the night
Okay, so we all know of the patented Fenton Child Neglect, and I just had a thought. Did Danny ever come to his parents in the middle of the night for any kind of help? Like, if he had a nightmare or if his stomach hurt in the unholy 3am in the morning kind of help. Because my guess is no, he didn't. He knew they were busy enough with their work, so he didn't want to disrupt their rest.
He probably went to Jazz, and she helped him, of course, like a good sister she is, right. But then, somewhere around 8 or 10 y.o. he would have realized that, well, Jazz has classes in the morning. Also, she does a lot of other stuff, she cooks, she keeps their bills in check, and she helps him with homework. She also needs her rest at night.
So I imagine Danny, who woke up because of a bad dream, just silently standing over his sleeping sister in the darkness of her room, trying to figure out if his little child problem is enough to justify waking her up. Most of the times the answer is no. He can deal with it by himself. He is 10, and he doesn't really need any help calming down after a nightmare. It's okay.
It's even worse after the Accident. Even though his problems are not just bad dreams anymore, and even if Jazz knows, he still doesn't wake her up when he needs to patch himself up after a ghost fight. Jazz needs her rest. He can manage on his own. Despite knowing this, he still comes to her room sometimes, even more silent than before with his newly acquired powers, and just stands there. Looking at his sister, who is sleeping peacefully. Debating if it would be okay to wake her up to help him with the cut on his arm or a burn on his thigh or the hit to his head that made him dizzy.
He never ends up waking her.
Now, fast forward a few years, Danny is now living with Waynes. Doesn't matter how or why, could be the Bad Ending with Fentons, or he is Damian's long lost twin, whatever, he is living with the Batfam now.
So one time Danny wakes up at night because of a nightmare, and he does exactly what he is used to doing for many years, he goes looking for someone. After all, just looking at sleeping Jazz used to calm him down somewhat, sure his new family won't mind if he just... watches them for a few minutes before going back to his room, right?
Wrong.
Turns out his eyes are glowing just slightly because of the adrenaline rush of the nightmare, and the Bats are a lot more vigilant to their surroundings while sleeping.
The whole house is quickly awake because of the screaming and the sounds of fighting and cursing.

The Vampire Aesthetic
Ok so Danny knows two billionaires personally and they really couldn’t be more different. Yet they had one thing in common. A vampire aesthetic. Sam is fully into goth. Spiderwebs, bats, the color black. She enjoys fangs and fake blood and the darkness of her soul. Meanwhile, Vlad is Vlad. If his name wasn’t enough, the dark clothing, pale skin, and flying around with a cape and fangs with coffins in his mansion really sells it.
Danny doesn’t know many rich people so he thinks this might be some kind of trend. (If Paulina is rich, her family likes the chupacabra) So he just thinks that all rich people have some kind of vampire thing going on.
Cue Danny somehow ending in the Wayne household. Maybe he was brought over as a friend of one of the bats, maybe rescued from a field trip/vacation gone wrong, maybe some other situation. But he is there in civilian form with civilian Waynes and Danny just takes a good long look around the inside of the mansion.
“So where’s the vampire aesthetic?
Everyone freezes.
Danny just starts looking around, checking behind paintings and feeling the walls for secret levers. Used to secret passages with Vlad and possibly Sam. The Fentons definitely had them when they were temporarily rich.
“Come on, I know you guys are hiding it.”
Cue the entire batfamily thinking that this is another Tim and that he is fully aware that these people are the batfamily. Danny hangs around the mansion more and the bats just start dropping their disguises and not even bothering to hide stuff around Danny because they assume he already knows. (Possibly even trying to recruit him to be a new bat) Meanwhile, Danny, who does not know these people are batman and his birds, just does not pick up on any of it.
He grew up in a health violation with a giant ballon observatory lab above his head and a portal to the afterlife in his basement. He is a half dead teenager who has tea with the god of time and his godfather is the other parent to his clone child. He’s used to death lazers being scattered across his home and mysterious stains on clothing.
People are weird! He doesn’t judge!
