First up, this is set centuries into the future. Danny is the ghost king and ancient of space and has taken Ellie (I like that name for her better) in as his daughter.
As is normal for all families, Danny and Ellie don’t always agree on everything. One particular point of contention between the two is Danny being overprotective. She understands that it’s in his nature as a protector spirt but that doesn’t make it any less annoying to have him hovering over her all the time. Just because she’s eternally 12 doesn’t mean she’s defenceless.
After one particularly bad fight between the two she flies off into a random dimension to get some space. The dimension she ends up in being the dc one. After awhile a just exploring and following the heroes of this world she has an idea. What better way to show to her dad that she can handle herself than by becoming a hero?
She introduces herself to the heroes of this world and (after confirming with JLD that she is in fact a ghost and she does in fact have good interiors) ends up joining one of the younger teams (I’m parcel to YJ but teen titans works to)
Now here’s the thing about Ellie. Just like her dad she sucks at explaining things. It just isn’t her strong suit. So when one of them asks about her death, she (after explaining they shouldn’t ask that) explains that she’s a neverborn. She never died, she’s just always been a ghost. Later on when someone asks her how neverborns come to exist she gives the ‘ectoplasm forming about an idea or concept’ explaining and completely forget to mention that’s not the only way.
Needless to say, the team think she doesn’t have parents. Especially adding on the fact she’s still a little pissed at Danny so doesn’t talk about him.
This lead to them being very confused when, in the middle of a huge alien invasion that they were very much about to lose, Ellie yells out “DAD!!!”
That confusion turns into terror when the night sky itself opens its eyes.
As it turns out, Danny makes a pretty good leader. His little gang of homeless children has grown immensely, both from picking up strays and from assimilating other gangs into his group.
Danny might only be 10 and still figuring out his powers but dang, intangibility and flight are over powered even before you add invisibility and laser blasts. At first he regretted sneaking into the lab alone to check out the portal his parents made in this basement. Waking up in a cold alley in a city you've never heard of is a terrifying experience even without the corrupt cops trying to sell you into human trafficking, but finding out he had powers and could do whatever he wanted? That was great. It no longer mattered that adults didn't listen to him or chased him around. He could do anything now. Be anything. Take anything.
He and the people under his protection often robbed places, never banks or anything but high class restaurants and stores that usually wouldn't even let them in through the front doors. Yeah, Danny can admit most of thier robberies were because of grudges the other kids had because of how they were treated but Danny being ten thought this was fine.
The real issue was Gothams Paw Patrol (who absolutely hate being called that :3 ) they were always on thier case, Dannys especially. They kept insisting that the system could help them -Danny called bull. No one helped him or Jazz back in Amity and it was waaaay nicer that Gotham- and kept getting him and his fellow kids arrested. That didn't really matter. Anti-meta stuff never worked on him so getting himself the other kids out was no big deal.
After overhearing a conversation between Nightwing and one of the other bats a kid came into thier current secret base announcing that Nightwing was poor and the other bats weren't. This caught everyone attention. Appearently Nightwing was trying to establish himself outside of the colony cause he didn't get along great with whoever the bats super daddy was, which was fair. A lot of them were runaways for one reason or another and knew a bunch of reasons why you wouldn't want to except "free" money.
This led to them fetching Nightwings "wingdings" and batarangs instead of keeping them/selling them like they do with the others, sharing some of thier spoils with him like the groceries, jewelry, fancy clothes, ect that they stole.
Dick even catches one of the kids in his apartment in Bludhaven filling up his fridge which has him panicking about his secret id being compromised. Luckly the kids had only followed him there and didn't think to check who was on the lease or anything cause they assumed it would be a fake name or something.
Just Dick getting forcibly adopted by a child gang.
Stephanie Brown aka batgirl aka spoiler, in her civilian guise [currently a now freed hostage from the jokers elaborate scheme to kill the bat]: "is that seat taken?"
Danny Nightingale aka phantom, ex hero, exhausted mechanical engineer [who just embarrassed the hell out of the joker by ruining his plot, disabling his traps, freeing hostages and mocking him as the joker failed to land a single hit on danny]: "uh, that's my lap?"
Does your au Steven wear the banana pajamas?
Yeah

De-aged Danny shenanigans with an adult Damian taking after his father.
Danny, about 6: *drigging through the trash*
Damian, 26: Hello? Are you alright?
Danny, whips around to look at him with glowing green eyes: hissssss
Damian, blinks: Oh, dear....Are you hungry?
Danny, suspicious:... yeth
Damian, nods: If you come with me, we can either go to a batburger down the street or my apartment a block over. I have a washer and dryer I can run your clothes through while you bathe.
Danny: Are you trying to kidnap me?
Damian: If I was, I'd be a fool to say so
Danny: mm twue...why else would you want to help me though?
Damian: one. It would be irresponsible of me to level a toddler alone, in an alley, in Gotham.
Danny, pouting: I'm not a toddler
Damian: Two. I will never hear the end of it from my siblings whether or not I help you, but it'd be more teasing than lecturing if I do help you.
Danny: Why would they do dat?
Damian: If you don't have any place to go, I might just tell you. But only if I can make sure you don't tell the wrong person.
Danny: I'm good wif secrets!
Damian, amused: We shall see. And now third and final reason. Are you aware your eyes are glowing green?
Danny, gasps and slams his eyes shut: You're not supposed to see!
Damian, softly: It's okay. I understand what that means. One of my elder brothers' eyes glow the same way. It must have been very scary for you to die
Danny, sniffling: It was... does his eyes weally glow green?
Damian: They do. His usually glow when he gets angry, is it the same with you?
Danny, now blinking blue glowing eyes at Damian: mmm? No? Green is too much bad emotion
Damian: Bad emotion?
Danny: Mad, um, strezz? No, the bigger one!
Damian: Panic or anxiety?
Danny, points at him with a bounce: Yeah!!
Damian, amused and concerned: I see
Danny: mmm let's see, um, and scared?
Damian: Interesting. Jason's eyes are usually an indicator of angry, but I know he likes to cover his fear and concern with that same anger. I shall look into it. On that note. And what does glowing blue mean?
Danny, blinks: Blue?
Damian: Yes. Did you know your eyes are glowing blue now?
Danny, shocked: No! They didn't do that before!... At least I don't think they did?
Damian: Well, they're a very pretty shade of blue.
Danny: Maybe... Maybe that's how my parents noticed...
Damian, trying not to frown: What did your parents notice?
Danny, turning his big teary eyes on Damian: That I'm not fully human anymore. They didn't notice. They never noticed!
Damian, slowly reaching out to the kid to see if he'd accept a hug: Sounds like your parents didn't deserve you.
Danny, giving into his childish instincts and flinging himself into Damian's arms to sob his little heart out: They didn't even know I died! It's not fair! I'm not weally human and it's their fault! I hate their stupid po-po- THING! It shocked me and it hurt and now I'm dead and it's their fault!
Damian: *gently rocking Danny til he tires himself out*
Danny, sniffling: It's not fair...
Damian: Something I've found is, it never is. Every stray my father has housed has had an unbearably harsh life, and I, being his blood son, was no different. My mother and her father raised me for the first ten years of my life, and I've come to understand that my childhood was not a good one. It took me a long time and a lot of patience from my eldest brother to come to realize what I was missing.
Danny: Like, Jazzy?
Damian: mm? Who's Jazzy?
Danny: My big sister. She's a big know it all, but she tries...
Damian: Well, that's-
Danny, jolts in Damian's hold: Tried! *GASP* Jazzy doesn't know mom and dad didn't kill me!! *pause* um, kill me again?
Damian: Well, we'll have to tell her, won't we? You wouldn't happen to know her full name? I can ask my family to contact her while we get you cleaned up
Danny: Yeah! Her name is Jasmine Fenton! She goes to a big big school here! That's why I came here! I just... I got lost..
Damian: That won't do
Damian, pulls out his phone and calls Barbara while starting to walk to his apartment: Gordon. I have a request.
Barbara: Yeah? Whatcha got, baby bat?
Damian: Can you look up a Jasmine Fenton? I have something she will probably want back.
Barbara: Holy shit! Is that a child??
Damian, sighs: Yes, it's her little brother. He ran away from a bad situation with his parents and got lost trying to find his elder sister.
Barbara: Alright. I'll check out her entire life to make sure she's safe to- wait. Damian, is that kid's name Danny?
Damian, realizing he never asked: One moment.
Damian, looks down at a sleepy, but curious Danny: Is your name Danny?
Danny, beams: Yeah!!
Barbara: Caught that, but, uh, Damian, Danny is supposed to be 20, not...4? 5? Not a tiny child
Damian: umm... Danny did you used to be older?
Danny, shrinks into himself and his eyes turn green: Ye-yeah... I don't know why I'm little... mommy did something and it Huuurt and hurt til suddenly I was free and I ran and hid in a bus
Damian, soothingly petting his back: Okay, it's okay, we'll figure it out.
Barbara: Take care of him for the night, we'll contact his sister tomorrow at a reasonable time. I'm not finding anything too concerning on her yet so she's probably safe
Damian: Copy that. Goodnight, Gordon.
Barbara, teasing: Goodnight, mini-Bruce!
Damian, flushes, but doesn't deny it before hanging up and glancing towards Danny: That was Barbara Gordon. A family friend. She'll help us find your sister, but you'll be staying with me for tonight.
Danny, sleepy: Okay..
Damian, slipping into his apartment lobby and going straight up the stairs, ignoring the gaping attendants: Don't fall asleep just yet. You will be fed and bathed first
Danny, huffs, but straightens up: What food?
Damian: That depends, I only really have vegetarian food so I suppose we'll have to find something you'll eat
Danny: Sam is vegetarian! I eat vegetarian sometimes with her!
Damian: hm? Very good, then it should be easier for me to feed you
Damian and Danny have a wonderful time. Danny is fed, watered, and cleaned up before being set up with a quiet sound machine to sleep. Damian has a crisis over wanting to keep Danny and suddenly understands his father's adoption habit. He sets alarms to check on Danny throughout the night, but it's otherwise uneventful.
