Curate, connect, and discover
There are certain truths to life:
Batman was always going to exist.
Danny was always going to have a connection to ghosts.
And Vlad will always get his heart broken in the end- really he should have know. Better.
- Wherein Bruce Wayne and Vlad Masters fall in love.
But Plasmius and Batman despise each other.
- Vlad really thought he had found the one this time charming, lovingly ditzy, and much like himself a serial adopter!
And if Bruce’s looks reminded him of Jack, and his sharp whit reminded him of Maddie well it’s not as if Vlad had anyone to tell.
Vlad only had himself to blame really, he had been to blind to see it to stupidly love struck to connect the dots.
Scars nether of them mentioned, they’re respective children being a bit - unusual, running away at awkward times.
The paranoia came later, the insistence on keeping him safe, the begging to have his wizard friend look over his ‘magical’ children “just in case”. The Justice league- Batman- the contingency plans.
Even then Vlad could make a thousand excuses, he could even forgive. The same way he had with….But nothing could go back to the way things were.
Being concerned about his son klarion was reasonable, his clone sons understandable really, his demon daughter (if she hadn’t gotten hurt) mildly fair, but targeting Billy crossed a line!
Danny Fenton unable to control his lying (and needing an out for why him and Vlad are totally not ghosts or metas):
Our powers only work when it comedic!!!
Vlad with big eyes wtf Daniel???? : oh yeah we were cursed….?
Everyone’s always like :
Batman adopts Billy
Superman adopts Billy
Constatine adopts Billy
I say: Fuck it ! BILLY adopts Vlad!
Vlad moves to Faucet city getting away from the past after making up with Danny blah blah blah
And this street kid just decides this “abandoned” mansion is perfect to squat in. But surprise Vlad is living in there!
I want Billy to look at Vlads money look at how unhappy he is look back at Vlad and go “bitch you live like this”
Vlad pays Billy an outrageous amount of money to help fix up the mansion. Billy pops in to wash laundry and cook food for two only to immediately vanish at night/ all the time and Vlad can’t do shit about it
I need Billy to fucking believe that people can change and rip heroes on the league who believe villains will always be villains ... while Vlad is still a villain just not murder hungry one
I want Billy to have a soft place to land and only seeing it as safe because HE is the one that MADE it soft! Vlad needs him and Billy is a hundred percent willing use that knowledge!
The entire situation is a melancholy comedy that writes itself!
Also imagine Shazam calling Vlad cuz ghosts attacked the JL and Plasmius showing up talking to Billy about shit in the far past - thus making everyone double down on the theory of Shazam being super old!
But also Plasmius calling Shazam “kiddo” or Shazam calling him “old man” and THE ENTIRE JUSTICE LEAGUE is just like holy shit Shazam’s dad is a powerful ghost!
Iconic and understandable
Dp x Dc Rant Prompt
Redeemed Vlad = single Gomez Addams
Just randomly adopting kids and finally being his eccentric rich self
Also him and klarion have similar hair styles and they both be immortal so yeah - Vlad adopts klarion hijinks Ensue
Also just Vlad not knowing how to talk to people - vlad finding out what lex luthor did
ALL the ClONES SURVIVED
Dani comes back for the money
Dani hides Conner among her brothers and Vlad doesn’t even notice just immediately accepts it
Also just imagine Danny Jazz Sam and Tucker these assumingly normal people just having an evil ass uncle at their beck and call
Also Sam just taking so much advantage of it
On the flip side this wierd but otherwise fragile looking billionaire for some reason having the Ghost King on speed dial!!!
Everyone keeping their secret identities a secret and Batman/Bruce Wayne and Lex just tearing their hair out - whoops!
