When she'd started seeing white hairs, she bought hair dye. Valerie could at least afford that secret little luxury with her part-time job.

It wasn't a big deal. So what if she was only fourteen? It was stress. It'd been a hard several weeks and it was only normal to get a few gray hairs out of the mess.

Her dad had lost his job, they'd lost most of their money because of all the legal stuff, lost their house, most of their stuff had been either sold or broken, she'd lost all her friends, she'd needed to start looking for a job, her grades were slipping and she needed to bring them back up. So of course she'd see a few white hairs.

When she'd stopped falling off her board, no matter the angle, she figured she'd just gotten used to it. It was normal for a tool to begin to feel like an extension of someone's body. That's how things work. And it only made sense it would start feeling natural to be in the air. She was a ghost hunter. And she was good at it. Something was finally starting to go right.

Her eyes had always held a mix of blue and green. The contrast of the red suit just really brought out the green in them.

The suit had a slight glow. It was the power source—had to be. She could even feel the low hum through her body, under her skin. Some little motor somewhere—she didn't know where—that powered the suit. Probably on her back, under the backpack—she felt it strongest through her chest.

She knew there was electricity flowing through the suit. There was a little short in it at first. The very first time she'd put the suit on, she'd hit the 'on' button and got a shock. At least her dad hadn't been home to hear her shriek.

It hadn't been that bad. More surprising than anything. It happened the next two times as well. Just got her a little fried is all. And it'd stopped happening after the third time.

The suit must be hooked up to the Internet or something. Had downloaded a patch or software update that finally got it to stop. She didn't need to push a button at all anymore. It makes sense that it'd be downloading updates. The longer she uses the suit, the more abilities she realizes it has.

How she can materialize any weapon she can think of? The suit. How the suit can form around her with just a thought? Again, the tech of the suit. The endless ammo? The suit. She doesn't know how it all works, but she doesn't have to. And when she'd met Mr. Masters, the advanced tech made sense. He's a multi-billionaire. He can build anything.

Then, when her suit was taken away and a new one just formed out of nowhere? Must've been something from him. Some kind of upgrade. It still felt like her, so— her suit. It still felt like her suit. It still felt like it belonged to her. The same hum throughout her body, the same glow. It just had a new design and some extra power.

The only weird thing is, there's this ring.

Mayor Masters—at the time Mr. Masters—said it was passed down through generations of ghost hunters. (No wonder he was so good at designing a suit—it'd been his family business.)

The ring was so important, that even that Pariah dude had wanted it.

She hadn't thought much of it, though. What good was a ring? It was just a status symbol, right?

But, the thing is, ever since that day... the ring keeps showing up on the side of her bed each morning.

No matter where she puts it, or throws it, or hides it.

It shows back up beside her each time she wakes up.

Prompt 153

 Pariah Dark, Ghost King, warrior, tyrant, world-breaker, Ancient of Darkness, is utterly gobsmacked. The sarcophagus had been opened- something he wasn’t honestly expecting seeing as it was supposed to be for eternity- and he had honestly just been blinking awake. It took a minute or few to properly wake up, but who could blame him? It wasn’t like there was anyone before him who could have opened his prison. 

 Though that wasn’t what had him utterly befuddled. He was rather certain that he had not gotten locked into the Sarcophagus of Sleep with several literal ghost infants. 

Well mostly infants, one is more like the equivalent of a three or four year old but still. And he has a rather panicked sort of feeling breaking through his usual bloodlust, because they all look really similar to his not-exactly ex. Same white hair, same wispy ghost-tail, same tiny fangs and claws currently being bared at him and each other. But they also kind of look like him, what with two having hair aflame- one even had black hair like he once did before his insanity- and even having red eyes. Most even had his own corpse-pale skin, though he could see a more blue tint on a couple and one more similar to his brother’s. 

So yes, Pariah Dark is very much panicking and trying to do the math in his head. A visit to Clockwork might be in his best interest…

Ectoberhaunt 2023 Day 2: Technomancy

AO3 Link

Summary: Valerie hadn’t noticed any differences at first, just life being a bit easier when it came to certain things. but with the hum now constantly under her skin, it’s difficult to focus on anything else.

Warnings: angst, slight body horror

Words: 805

It had been small and subtle things at first, differences that Valerie could only notice in retrospect. Devices no longer asked for passwords, and the broken cash register at work would suddenly start functioning again after a swift hit to the side. It would only take a good, percussive kick to get the bugged-out ice cream machine working again. All of them were small things that she wouldn’t look at suspiciously, but would make her day just the slightest bit easier. 

Then, some other things became a lot easier. Valerie’s fingers would fly across a keyboard, autocorrecting to exactly what she meant, even if the word was widely misspelled. Using her suit became so close to second nature it barely took the hint of a thought to get it to do anything, from her hoverboard to the manifestation of weapons she had never called upon before. Valerie actually noticed this one, but wrote it off as a progression of skill. That sniper rifle-style blaster had managed to land a solid hit on Phantom before he could even react. 

The first time Valerie really noticed something was up, it had been during a three way fight between Skulker, Phantom, and herself. A vivid image of Skulker’s wings deploying and sending him directly into the closest building flashed in her mind. With a show of teeth, and an audible snarl, Valerie gave into the impulse and harshly shoved the mechanical ghost out of the way. Red flashed beneath Skulker's suit, racing up his arm in a pulse of light, his eyes flickered to her signature crimson. With the sound of skulker yelling inside of his suit as he lost control, the wings deployed and he crashed directly into the office building to their left. Valerie only spared enough time to glance between her hand and the Skulker-shaped hole in the office windows, before forcing her hoverboard to go faster after Phantom.

It had been later that night, that Valerie truly acknowledged that something wasn’t quite right. The screen in her visor no longer projected the tracking formation before her face, but flashed with complete understanding behind her eyes. She accepted it easily in the moment, caught up in the chase, but laid in her bed for hours afterwards. After flicking through the mental computer in her mind for a while, Valerie ended up mentally going over recordings of her own memories, like they were recorded from her own eyes with perfect clarity. Even with her suit tucked away, she could still feel it humming under her skin, and buzzing behind her eyes. It didn’t go away, and she couldn’t find the power button either.  

Valerie couldn’t decide if this was a good thing or not, still lost in her own mind, but still hearing every minute of Mr. Lancer’s lecture as it was recorded and transcribed into a small corner of her mind. It made her feel less human, with every second of her memory being perfectly recalled like a computer log. Now that she was aware of it, Valerie could even feel the high-frequency buzz of electronics in the school building, the call of various devices tucked away behind the textbooks and in bags. It made her hyper aware of everything humming with electricity in this corner of the building. She absently wondered what she could do with it, but these powers reminded her far too much of Technus, usefulness aside it twisted her gut in a way she didn’t like as she was changed without her permission.

Valerie wondered if she should go to the Fentons about her newfound powers, but that brought the drawback of them finding out. Valerie herself didn’t want to know if they cut her open, and took samples, if they would find electricity and ectoplasm mixed into her blood. Chips and wires replacing her veins. Danny was terrified of ghosts, she didn’t want him to look at her in fear, if she turned out to be more ghost-like than human.

Valerie rammed the thoughts about her powers to the side with such mental force she thought Skulker would go through another building (in the room over, a light burst). She was human, some neat and very useful abilities didn’t change that, it was a good thing, it made her a better ghost hunter. If she could link into the local security and traffic cameras, she might finally be able to find out where that awful ghost went when he wasn’t terrorizing Amity Park. She could take him down for good. Valerie hummed in contentment at the thought of finally getting her revenge, matching the humm of the lights above her perfectly.

Valerie didn’t catch the brief glance from Danny across the classroom as his breath released in a cold wisp and caught a flicker of crimson in her eyes.

#valerie gray #danny phantom #me dumping enough useless belts for my sake #my art #halfa reaper au

[kobol1]

Halfa siblings hc time and a halfa Valerie. :D

Danny and Valerie both do magical girl transformations when they shift into their ghost halves. They transform that way because they both know how much it embarrassed Jazz when they synchronize their movements and poses with each other during the transformation process from human to ghost.

They keep bugging Jazz to also do a magical girl transformation every time the trio leaves for patrol or when a ghost attack happens. And every time Jazz just says no and transforms into her ghost half the regular old boring way.

Then one day after weeks of Danny and Valerie annoying her and bugging her, Jazz pulls off the most epic magical girl transformation to the shock of Danny, Valerie, and the Ghost they are fighting.

DP - Valerie's Powers

I think that slowly over time, she’d become something along the lines of an ecto-liminal or even a pseudo-halfa, but a unique one. She might be able to gain a pseudo-core & ecto-signature, but instead of an Obsession, she'd have a Fixation due to not being a true Halfa. Also, I feel like most of her powers would be bound to her armor. (There’s this ‘race’ in DnD 5e called Animated Armor which is a soul bound to a set of armor. There’s also this homebrew somewhere that allows a character to wear said armor. So, I think of it like Valerie’s wearing one of these armors. The only difference here is that the soul possessing the armor is her own living one.)

Like, when not wearing her armor, she'd just have the typical ecto-liminal powers. Things like enhanced physicality, better senses, ability to see in the dark, able to see & touch non-ectoplasmic spiritual entities, a sort of feather fall ability, & the ability to affect people's sense of object permanence in regards to herself.

Just small, easy to dismiss things.

However, due to not being a true Halfa, she wouldn't become more powerful naturally. Instead, that'd require actually upgrading her suit as it has a sort of osmosis function that allows it to integrate technology into itself.

Taking advantage of this function, she can eventually obtain full ghost powers, but it's done by proxy of working technology enhanced with ecto-energy. So, invisibility would work using a camouflage function, intangibility would work based on molecular phasing via high-speed vibration (think the Flash), ghost rays would work by just using guns that are built into the suit, & flight is obtained via her hoverboard which would move based on the theory of acoustic levitation.

Now, normally, this sort of technology works very differently to ghost powers. Such as camouflage being when you bend the light around you to reflect away from you & molecular phasing via vibration being when molecules vibrate at such a high speed that you can pass through matter, not to mention that acoustic levitation is the use of soundwaves to keep objects suspended in the air. Whereas ghostly invisibility & intangibility are actually the ghost literally leaving the physical plain & entering the spiritual plain & flight is, again, full control of one's gravity. Or at least, that's how Halfa flight works.

However, due to Valerie's suit being powered by ectoplasm, it sort of bridges the gap between the 2. However, it would still require the technology to be sound. Like, invisibility would actually require the tech to actually successfully camouflage even without ectoplasm in order for full ghostly invisibility to work with ectoplasm. The ectoplasm just sort of… increases the tech's effectiveness, I suppose?

It would also allow her to have a unique way of becoming a better hunter that is separate from how Danny does.

It could also create interesting irony & internal conflict for her character if she were to begin to exhibit more & more ghostly features.

Though, she wouldn't ever have the same potential for raw power that Danny does.

[aethtalon]

One of the things I've seen maybe two or three times as I explore the Phandom is halfa! Valerie Gray. And at least one of those was supposing along the following lines:

Valerie's nanotech(?) suit was made/modified by Technus and might therefore constitute as ghost tech(its been forever since I've watched the show, don't quote me on canon stuff)

The suit nanites are inside her body when not in use

The suit has a link to her brain in order to respond to mental commands

The suit is NANITES which means it is small enough to interact with her biology on just about any level, potentially even down to atomic

So maybe being so thouroughly integrated with ghost technology made her technically a halfa and over time the exposure gradually changed her enough that it is no longer technical.

And personally I find this to be a very interesting concept. The main thing I'd tweak is that when I previously saw it, it had the change happening over the course of years.

I would stretch it out to decades.

I don't really have a ton of reason to why, other than simply being an interesting concept to explore. How much could change without her realizing? Especially as such a slow transition? How much would she be willing to attribute to the suit's advanced tech that she doesn't really understand? What would it take to finally clue her in? What sort of powers might she have as a halfa in addition to the tech abilities?

Some thoughts on these below

She grows and changes, but not as much as she'd expect. At 42 she still looks and feels (and maybe even acts) 24. She figures she's just aging gracefully.

Especially when using the suit, she finds she has exceptional strength, agility, endurance, and healing. She figures it's her excellent workout routine, healthy living, and the suit tech

Assuming she still actively uses the suit for one reason or another (still hunting ghosts, Vigilanteing in other ways, fun, lots of possibilities)maybe some ghost powers start popping up (intangibility, invisibility, ecto rays, etc.) and she just figures that it is previously unknown abilities of the suit's advanced tech

Maybe these abilities start popping up when she isn't actively using the suit and she waves it off because the suit is nanotech after all

Maybe she isn't still actively using the suit, but hasn't gotten rid of it because, uh.. how? And also why bother? And this stuff starts happening (I imagine she would be a lot quicker on the uptake in this situation)

Maybe one day, whether she hasn't used the suit in years or was flying around in it just the night before, when she activates the suit, instead of the usual method, a ring of light expands horizontally from her gut, then separates into two traveling up and down in a visual sequence that is.. familiar. One she recognizes from Dani (and maybe Danny depending on your timeline)

I imagine one of the major powers she'd get would be some level of technopathy, or at least improved ability to interface with electronics

Maybe she'd develop an electric core?

What would this mean for her in terms of ghost society?

Would Technus be somehow related to her, since it was his tech?

With so much time having passed, how does that affect how she reacts to these developments?

How does all this change if it's a crossover au, like DC or something?

Just some fun thoughts and ponderances.

A wip

I like valerie with White and green.

So in DP x DC fics she can be confused for a green Lantern. Lol

Headcanon

Valerie's suit makes her a sorta half ghost.

Valerie would start with het red and black color scheme. But after absorbing a ecto explosion from a ghost bomber.

The ectoexplosion Just finished the job.

She can make green ecto constructs.

Flies using her hover board.

She can stil use her weapons but also feels more comfortabel with closecombad.

Valerie is a ghost cyborg: so shes a inbetween of a inbetween.

She has a fire core.

Three for the Portal: Names

Which names I picked for character's secret identities in Three for the Portal and why.

I looked at Danny's canon choice of Danny Phantom and went 'okay what if I run with this as a theme'. My first decision was that the trio don't use their first names in ghost-form because two trios in Amity Park made up of a Tucker, Sam and Danny would standout too much. My second decision is that they all have ghost related names.

Danny Fenton aka Phantom

I stuck with 'Phantom' for Danny's ghost-form because it is canon and we already think of him that way and I don't see any particular reason for him not to choose that name. It also has the bonus of sounding similar enough to Fenton that if Danny responds to someone calling out Fenton in combat (and Danny is the one mostly likely to encounter this possible problem with his surname given his ghost hunting parents) he can pass it off as having misheard Fenton as Phantom. (Not that I particular think he was considering that when he chose Phantom, but unexpectedly useful bonus.)

Tucker Foley aka Sprite

The name for Tucker's ghost-form was pretty easy to pick. 'Sprite' for the duel meanings of a supernatural creature and a computer graphic.

Sam Manson aka Wraith

Sam has had a few different names for her ghost-form. I settle on Banshee for a while but I wasn't quite happy with it. I circled through Wight, Umbra, Manes, Sylph, Jinn, Revenant, Dryad, Lamia and a bunch of others before deciding that actually simple is good, and picking one of my very early ideas: Wraith.

Valerie Gray aka Valkyrie

I picked out Valkyrie for the name Valerie goes by when in her ghost hunting suit instead of 'Huntress' or 'Red Huntress'. Half because it is a name associated with women, warriors and the dead, half so that if anyone a slips up 'Val' is the first part of both her names and could serve as a nickname in either identity.

Dani Phantom aka Phantasm

I chose Phantasm both because is similar but distinct from Phantom and because it fits my theme but I'm not sure yet if Dani Phantom will happen in Three for the Portal.

Jazz Fenton aka Eidolon

I've pretty much picked Eidolon as Jazz's name but I'm yet not sure if she will have a secret identity in Three for the Portal.

Que se joda Amity Park.

Porque Danny esta cansado, odia su vida, odia a sus pícaros, odia a sus compañeros de clase, odia a sus padres y definitivamente odia ser un héroe.

El arruina lo que le queda de vida por proteger a un pueblo que no hizo más que arruina su infancia

¿¡y que recibe a cambio!?

¡Disparos e insultos!

El vio a su hermana luchar sola para criarlo y que tenga una buena infancia mientras que el veía como ella renunciaba a la suya.

El vio como sus padres elegían una y otra vez a su estúpido trabajo en vez de a sus hijos, todo por un portal que no funcionó hasta que el y Jazz murieron en el.

El vio como TODO un maldito pueblo parecían unir fuerzas para arruinarles la vida a un parde niños que solo querían poder sentirces seguros en un pueblo al que por alguna razón llegaron a llamar hogar.

El vio muchas cosas que un niño de su edad no debería entender... pero lo hizo, Danny entendió, entendió que apesar de que tienen una casa y un pueblo donde vivir, la duda realidad es que ellos nunca tuvieron un hogar, ese pueblo nunca fue su hogar y Danny cree que nunca lo será.

Jazz fue todo lo que Danny siempre tuvo.

Danny fue todo lo que Jazz siempre tuvo.

Por eso cuando Jazz se va para ir a la Universidad, Danny se va con ella, estuvieron planeando esto desde que tenían uso de razón, apenas se les de la oportunidad para irce ellos la tomarían y se marcharían sin mirar ni una sola vez hacia atrás.

Y eso hicieron, se fueron, no se los dijeron a nadie a acepción de sus únicos dos amigos y ahora eran libres, inconscientes del enorme vacío que dejaron atrás.

Un pueblo que no sólo se quedaron sin dos de sus Protectores, también a los únicos en ese lugar que apesar de estar parcialmente muertos, eran los únicos que traían vida a ese lugar.

Una escuela, que se quedo sin comentarios inteligentes, sarcásticos, desconcertantes y divertidos que durante tanto tiempo les hizo olvidar el lugar de mierda que era la escuela y lo aburrido y monótono que podía llegar a ser.

Una casa que antes solía estar llena de gritos y ruidos que llenaban de vida y lo hacían parecer un verdadero hogar.

Unos padres que no se dieron cuenta de las dos presencias faltantes hasta después de dos semanas, sus números bloqueados y que legalmente ya no llevaban sus apellidos.

Unos fantasmas que perdieron a las únicas personas que estaban dispuestos a escuchar y después pelear, los únicos que no atacarian en el momento de su aparición.

Ese día, sin saberlo, Amity Park perdió a las únicas dos personas que hacía que su pueblo sea "Un buen lugar para Vivir" y no se dieron cuenta...

Hasta que fue demasiado tarde...

#danny phantom #jazz phantom #Halfa Danny #Halfa Jazz #Danny y Jazz abandonan Amity Park #Amity Park perdió más de lo que gano #Y ellos no ganaron nada #Los picaros están confundidos #¿Donde están sus pequeños par de hermanos favoritos? #Sam y Tucker son los únicos que tienen sus números y se niegan a compartirlos con nadie #Ellos también se van apenas tienen la oportunidad #Amity Park esta angustiado #Perdieron a los únicos civiles que valían la pena en su pueblo #Y a los únicos Protectores que si hacían un buen trabajo y no estaban locos (Jack y Maddie) o eran extremadamente violentos (Valerie) #Clockwork mira todo con tristeza y algo de alivio #El pueblo ahora está destinado a quedarse en la ruina #Pero si los niños se quedaban se volverían locos poco a poco y el mundo sería destruido #Eligió el futuro que no acabaría ni con sus nietos ni con el mundo gracias

Prompt 280

Let me kick down the door and- 

Nekomatta Danny. But not just any nekomata Danny. I am saying space cat boy. Twin-tails that seem to flicker into an aurora, into distant galaxies, ghostly flames that could be just that, or could be flickers of distant stars and suns. 

Now, the thing is? Being a ghost, very much illegal in the USA right now, doesn’t matter how many times they throw out the GIW, they can’t exactly take on the entire government any time soon. What isn’t illegal? Being an alien, meta, or any other magical creature. 

So the halfas, yes that (ugh, really Jordan) does include Vlad, all get together to hash out a plan to get out of Amity. And? They like cats, you like cats right? And they have friends- or allies- in the Zone, so maybe they can perhaps get a few… oh? What’s this? A cat-like creature with necromatic powers? Yeah they can- oh. Hm. So that’s replaced their ghost form now. 

That’s fine actually! They’re still ghosts- just erm, no longer human looking. And Vlad can continue to use his human form- yes we need to keep the bracelets on to hide the ears and tails, whatever- to continue running DalvCo. 

It’s not bad, and they’ll admit Vlad has been getting better. Sure there’s still a bunch of blackmail (Jordan, Sam, stop helping him-), but they honestly? Can’t be brought to care. They’re adjusting- grieving in some cases- and focusing on actually finishing everything before the summer ends. 

So it’s probably not a good time for heroes to start investigating Vlad…

obsessions (danny phantom)

i had a comment asking about obsessions on ao3 and am sharing it here, since i thought I'd made it obvious but obviously that is in my brain and y'all aren't in my brain

for reference this is the fic [on ao3 here] and the bits specific about ghosts having 'things' I'll put at the end under a cut

Q: In your ‘verse is the Box Ghost really strong, or just a masochist? Same with Technus? Because some ghosts seem really intrinsically tied to their thing and express it super openly.

A: So in this AU ghosts have a lot of choice in how to fulfill their obsessions.

Boxie doesn't have a box obsession specifically. I'm using the HC he died in a warehouse accident so his obsession is more related to protection and he satisfies it by keeping boxes away from everyone else.

Ghosts being deliberately vague with their language about 'things' both helps other ghosts by well, being vague, because they could say something like "oh yeah that's box Ghost, boxes are his thing" and ghosts all understand that's not literally his obsession because you just don't do that. And most Ghosts that didn't know him would understand that being known for boxes is what he wants. Both from his name and how the ghost talking about him said it was his thing.

Like "being a hero is Phantom's thing" no ghost would think his obsession is heroism (it isn't in this au anyways) if a ghost said that. If a human said that they'd be pissed but only because they know humans don't respect obsessions and it's possible that they are actually sharing it.

Does that make sense?

[...]

“Oh! Yeah, sure. Like I said, if you read any of [Jack and Maddie's] conclusions from before about last year just try and toss that out. They’ve learned a lot more about ghosts since then that really changes the entire field of ectobiology. And I dunno if they’ve published anything about ghost forms since then, actually but, yeah, ghosts only sort of control their forms unless it's like, their thing-”

“Their Obsession, you mean?” Valerie asked. Danny paused a little too long and looked at her a little too sharply to convince Valerie of his full humanity.

“You could say it like that. But it’s rude,” Danny finally said, succeeding in looking and sounding fully human at least. As Phantom she’d seen just how pissed being asked about any ghosts obsession made him. She’d only asked him about his own once. That had been… probably the only time Danny had legitimately tried to hurt her, now that she thought about it.

[...]

“So,” Valerie said, not commenting on the sudden awkward tension, “Ghosts can’t change their bodies at will, usually, unless it’s their special thing.”

“Right!” Danny said with a happy nod of agreement.[...]

“And if a ghost suddenly does change their form, then there has been a huge change with them on a deeply personal level,” Valerie stated, [...]

“Yeah, pretty much!” Danny agreed.

“I’ve told you this isn’t safe,” she reminded him, exasperated. It was… it wasn’t nice actually. It was frustrating in a bad way. That electric place behind her heart that was usually so light felt heavy, almost like something was grinding against it.

“What do you care?” Danny hissed, leaving his tongue sticking out and slinking deeper into his coiled tail.

Valerie felt something actually painful in her chest and embarrassingly felt herself chirp for no reason she understood. Danny floated up towards her immediately, looking alarmed and contrite.

“I didn’t know. I’m sorry,” Danny said, distressed. “I never thought about what your thing might be, honest!”

“... Whatever,” Valerie said. She swallowed and remembered their conversation the other day. About ghosts having ‘things’ that under no circumstances should ever be mentioned and definitely not called Obsessions. Valerie hadn’t died. She couldn’t be a ghost. “I’m not…”

“Of course! Of course,” Danny said, fidgeting with the tip of his tail anxiously. Was this really that serious of a deal? Did… did ghosts feel even worse when someone brought up their Obsessions? Even indirectly? Maybe it was a bigger deal than she’d ever realized.

Danny felt like his stomach was tied in knots as he finished getting ready for the day. Dick had told him that they were going to Wayne Manor for Danny’s birthday dinner and Danny was feeling sick with nerves. Growing up, his parents had never really acknowledged Danny’s birthday, had never even really remembered it if he was being completely honest. Danny suspected that it had to do with the fact that they had never really even wanted Danny in the first place, but he had never been brave enough to actually voice those thoughts to anyone.

Living with his adoptive parents, Danny was quickly realizing that his relationship with his parents was more complicated than he had ever realized. With Dick, things were easy. The two had breakfast each morning, sugary cereals more often than not, they would have a pun off as they got ready for their day and then Dick would drop Danny off at Bludhaven High and he’d go off to work at the local community center. And without fail, each day he would pick Danny up from school, they would talk about their day and then have dinner together before Dick went off on patrols as Nightwing and Danny found himself manning the computer and keeping an ear open for any crime going on that needed Nightwing’s attention.

Their weekends were usually filled with different outings and adventures. Whether that be Dick dragging Danny to the movies, or going to different festivals that were being held in the city, or going off Gotham to hang out with Dick’s and well, now Danny’s, family to hang out. Or he would find himself going with Barbara to see a play or to a coffee shop to hang out and people-watch. It was weird and not something Danny was super used to. He had never had a parent that cared this much about him. Or even asked him what he wanted to do.

That was the thing with the Fentons, Danny realized. They did things to spend time with Danny, to act like they were putting in the effort to be a good parent to him. But it had always been on their terms, it was always things that they wanted to do. They never really cared all that much for Danny’s input or even really listened when he would try to say he didn’t want to do something.

Dick and Barbara respected him and he treated Danny like the now sixteen-year-old he was rather than just a pest. It never failed to make Danny’s heart feel warm with affection for the older man who had taken him in. He had been living with the Graysons for six months now and there were so many things he was learning about himself and realizing about the Fenton’s that he just couldn’t seem to wrap his head around a lot of it.

He had known that the Fenton’s weren’t great parents, it was a niggling thought that stayed with Danny the majority of his life. A thought that got a bit louder when he was around Tucker’s parents or Valerie’s dad, parents who truly loved their kids and were attentive and knew what was going on in their lives–well for the most part. But they were parents who made an effort and actively tried to be there for their kids, to get to know them and encourage their interests.

Jack and Maddie had never really done that for Danny, not really. They did it with Jazz to an extent, but even then it wasn’t the way Danny had seen other parents interact with their kids, it wasn’t the same way that Dick and Barbara seemed to interact with Danny.

But even though he had those niggling thoughts, he still strived for their approval, for their love and attention and he never really seemed to get it.

Then they had found out that Danny was a halfa and Danny found himself fighting for his life to get away from the Fenton’s. They had held him captive for a week before he had finally found a way to escape. And then he ran and ran and ran until he found himself in Bludhaven, New Jersey and living on the streets.

But living on the streets was by far better than being the Fenton’s prisoners. It was after three months of living on the streets that Nightwing had found him beating the shit out of a mugger who had been attacking a woman. Then two months of the two of them talking and learning more about each other. And then Nightwing had decided he wanted Danny to live with him, not only that but he wanted to help Danny get justice. And then Danny learned that Nightwing was Dick Grayson and Danny found himself getting adopted by the thirty-one-year-old and his wife, Barbara.

And then it had become the best six months of Danny’s life. The couple were amazing and he found himself seeing Dick and Barbara as his parents more and more. Part of him wondered if he should have felt bad about how easy it was to replace Jack Fenton and Maddie

But then Danny reminded himself that Jack Fenton and Maddie Fenton were now serving a life sentence in Belle Reve down in Louisiana for torturing and vivisecting his then fifteen-year-old son. Then Danny didn’t feel nearly as bad. Especially not when he was the one who was forced to look at the vivisection scars that marred his chest or the lightning-shaped scars that trailed from the palm of his hand to his heart. Then he remembered that not only had his parents experimented on and tortured him. But they had also created an unsafe environment that led to Danny’s half-death in the first place.

Dick had been the one to tell him that it was their fault he had died in the first place. Had clenched his jaw and shook in anger as he held back from flying to Amity Park to kill the Fentons himself. Jason, Dick’s brother, had been more than happy to help him finish the job when Dick had told him what happened.

That was another thing.

Dick’s family was insane.

But in a good way. Not Fenton’s level insane. But an insane where Danny knew that he could call any of them and they would come to fight for him, even Damian who had been a little prickly when he found out that Dick was adopting a kid the same age as him. Damian had shown him his sword collection once and then viciously announced that anyone who laid a single finger on his nephew’s head would see just how deadly the Robin could truly be.

Which, well, Danny appreciated. But he had also quietly decided that he would never let Damian know if something happened. He really didn’t want to be the reason his uncle went to juvie.

Jason was fun, the two bonded over their deaths and compared scars. Cass was a calm peace that Danny found himself appreciating when the others were a bit too much. Tim had to be Danny’s favorite out of his new uncles.

Tim was the one who took him train hopping, who he cried to about the fact that his parents had been so horrible to him. Tim was the one who understood what it was like to grow up with neglectful parents who loved their work more.

Duke was kind and funny and conniving and as the only other meta in the family the two had created a fun camaraderie between them and Danny felt comforted in knowing that they had that solidarity between them. Duke was also the one who Danny found himself going to when his shoulders felt a little too heavy with the weight of everything that had happened.

Danny’s new grandfather and great-grandfather had been wonderful too. They had accepted Danny with open arms and Danny was pretty sure he had heard Bruce argue with Dick about adoption papers a few times in regards to Danny and being put out that Dick had beat him to it. Whatever the heck that meant.

And then there was Danny’s new adoptive mother, Barbara and she had been a pillar when Danny needed one. She had welcomed Danny to their home with open arms and had been the one to spearhead the investigation into the Fentons. The one who had gotten a hold of Danny’s records and taken care of virtually everything. She scared the absolute shit out of Danny but also gave the most amazing advice, the most comforting hugs, and had been exactly what Danny needed. She was also the one to show Danny that he could still be a hero without going out onto the field and had decided to train Danny to be an Oracle in his own right.

He had kept the name Phantom. But now it was more so because he was a ghost who saw everything and heard everything. He went out onto the field with the bats when they absolutely needed his firepower, but his preferred spot was being the man behind the scenes. After everything he had gone through being a vigilante in Amity Park, he wasn’t sure if he would ever want to be out there fighting bad guys, not like he was.

Again, he didn’t mind it when the bats really needed help, or if a disaster happened and they needed Danny’s powers to help out. He had even let Bruce train him to be able to fight just as good as any of the bats, and let Barbara’s Birds of Prey teach him some tricks that Bruce would never approve of.

But he was happy. He was happy and loved and safe and he couldn’t get over the fact that he had such an amazing family all for himself.

Barbara and Dick were amazing and had folded Danny into their family so seamlessly and wonderfully that it had him feeling safer than he had ever felt in his life.

Which was why he was so damn nervous about what he was about to do, why his birthday felt so terrifying and anxiety-inducing. He had decided that he was going to officially call Dick and Barbara his mom and dad today and he was hoping it went well.

He didn’t think they’d be mad. In all honesty, he was pretty sure that they’d be pretty pumped about it. But that didn’t take the nerves and anxiety away either.

He shook his head and finally allowed himself to walk out of his bedroom. He made his way to the kitchen where Barbara was bringing food to the dining room table while Dick was flipping a pancake onto another plate.

“Good morning Danny!” Barbara said cheerfully when she spotted Danny coming in. The sixteen-year-old gave her a nervous smile, bent down and kissed her cheek lightly.

“Morning Mom,” he said before he could back out of it. He glanced over at Dick who was now staring at him starstruck. “Morning Dad,” he said cheerfully before he waltzed over and grabbed the plate in his father’s frozen hands.

“I get birthday pancakes? Sweet,” he said with a wide smile before he grabbed a fork and made it back to the table, his adoptive parents both seemingly frozen in place. He tilted his head to the side as he took in Barbara’s form as she sat frozen in her wheelchair and to Dick who hadn’t moved, even after Danny took the plate from his hands. Maybe it was too soon to call them his parents, maybe they didn’t want that. Regret started to nibble at the edges of his stomach as he looked at them.

“Are you guys okay?” He asked hesitantly before his dad let out a loud sob and came running towards him and hugged him tight.

“My baby!” Dick cried, his arms wrapped tight against Danny’s chest. It was like he was being held onto by an octopus. Dick pulled the plate of pancakes away from Danny and set it on the table. Danny let out a groan as he struggled against his dad’s grip as Dick started to pepper his head and his cheeks with kisses. “Danny Grayson I love you so much,” he cried out.

“Dick,” Barbara said with a laugh as she rolled over, hitting Dick’s leg lightly with her wheelchair. “You’re going to smother our son,” she said and Danny felt the butterflies in his stomach start doing somersaults at that. Their son.

He was their son.

“I’m just so happy,” he cried out. “Fuck, is this how Bruce feels when we call him Dad?” he asked, letting out a sniff as he finally pulled away from Danny and started to fix the teenager’s hair.

“Yes, it is,” Danny’s mom said, giving him an amused smile. The redhead held her arms open for Danny and the sixteen-year-old happily bent down to give his mom a hug. “I love you, sweetie,” she said softly.

“Love you too,” he said with a chuckle. “Now, what’s all this?” He asked, motioning to the table that was full of different breakfast foods.

Barbara beamed. “We wanted to have a fun little breakfast before we started all of our birthday festivities. Dick and I have a few surprises for you, and we’re going to go and get lunch with my dad, then we’ve got a few more activities before we go over to Bruce’s tonight for your birthday party.”

Danny couldn’t help but smile widely at his parents. “We’re doing stuff all day?” He asked, feeling breathless and a little dizzy at the thought.

“Of course,” Dick said, slinging his arm over Danny’s shoulder. “Today’s all about you and we’ve got a lot to celebrate.”

Danny gave his parents a small, excited smile. “Yeah, we do,” he said softly. He had so much to celebrate, his new life, his new parents, his newfound happiness. He couldn’t wait to see where they were going to go from here. But he knew that it was going to be amazing. How could it not when he had such an amazing family taking care of him?
