AN: Yes Jason sees that both Danny and Artemis are interested in each other and tried to set them up. I think that if they really focused more on Jason as a person not on being Robin and being similar to Dick because Batman was lonely without his son then Jason could have had his own strengths.

Jason was someone who was able to read people, he was street smart, he knew how to pick targets to pickpocket so with Danny as his mentor they're polishing the skills that he already has to make him a good fighter and a hero. Jason is able to read people similar to how Cassandra Cain can read people but not as well as her, body language was the only language she knew so she is definitely better than him but it is something he is working on. If you ever watched the movie Now You See Me 2, then the character Chase McKinney and how he was able to read people that's what I'm going for.

Canary512- No Jason doesn't know about Danny and his ghost powers just yet, it'll come up in this chapter I think or maybe the next one. I'm glad that you agree with me on Damian and no offence because I do actually like him and his fighting skills are not something to be laughed at in canon but with B having a real relationship with Dinah and being a better parent, Damian and his issues just don't fit in here.

Currently the timeline is somewhere in between episode 22 and 23. I'm not sure how much of time that actually is but so far I am following the episode list very loosely, also I'm not sure when Dick told the team his real name so I'm gonna just assume that already happened.

The image I'm using as a cover belongs to Ciarra, I got it from Google and if you ever see this hope you don't mind me using the image, its also what Danny's new suit looks like when he is in ghost form.

Chapter 10

Danny and Artemis started hanging out a bit more ever since Jason basically kidnapped her and forced her to come with them for ice cream. It was actually a good day, the weather was nice and Artemis well she was funny and sarcastic and intelligent. Danny actually really enjoyed himself, it had been a long time since he had just been normal teen, hanging out with someone that he cared about and he hadn't realized how much he missed it.

Artemis on the other hand didn't really know what to make of Danny and finding out that he was Canary's mysterious protégé who almost never went with them on missions was shocking to her. Wally and Dick were friends so they met up sometimes to hang out but Wally was almost never allowed in the manor, he did visit just very rarely. Jason gave absolutely no shits when he holds her hands and pulls her towards the gym excitedly telling her that he wants to learn how to shoot a bow and arrow and Danny told him to ask Artemis if she would be willing to teach him because he didn't know to use one.

The two of them practiced for a little while until Danny comes in ready for his hand to hand lesson with Jason and is shocked to see her there. Artemis smiled at the look of confusion on his face and shrugged.

"He was waiting for me when I finished school with Alfred so I taught him how to shoot, he isn't half bad at it." She said in response to the unasked question and Danny smiled at Jason in pride.

"Dick uses a bo-staff mostly, Dinah uses her cry or hand to hand, B uses his arsenal of weapons and hand to hand, I use hand to hand as well as my powers, I wanted him to find a weapon that he liked, something that he would be comfortable using as a primary weapon."

Artemis nodded her head at him, "It's a good idea but he isn't an archer. Archers work at a distance mostly and Jason isn't one to fight from distance."

Danny sighed, "I know that's why this is so hard, honestly none of us who have bat training work with only one style, we learn a little of everything and tailor it to suit our needs. Dick will probably change his primary weapon when he gets older but the only thing that I can see Jason using is probably a gun so he can fight in the thick of things and guns are not welcome in Gotham."

Artemis nodded, everyone knew how Batman felt about guns but it was also more than that, guns were what their enemies used to kill people, no one ever used a gun as a hero, it didn't send the right message to anyone and it was just too dangerous, guns were basically inviting an accident, probably a fatal one.

"Why not a crossbow?" asked Artemis and Danny raised an eyebrow.

She rolled her eyes at him, "Don't think I didn't see all your inventions. You obviously can make weapons so why not a crossbow able to fit at his wrists. It would be similar to him holding handguns but not actually firing bullets."

It was actually a good idea, Jason was a melee fighter and he would definitely rely on hand to hand so that he could be in the thick of the fight and a crossbow, fitted at the wrists for a little bit of distance, not as much as the bow and arrow but a few feet to ensure a circle of protection around him. Danny nodded to her, he would probably end up creating an arsenal just for him, maybe get a few rough ideas for Tim as well.

"You're really good with him." Commented Danny and Artemis smiled at him,

"He reminds me of me, someone trying so hard to overcome the demons that only he can see and slightly terrified that he will fail. He just needs some attention and some encouragement."

Jason noticed the two of them getting lost in that little bubble of theirs so he disappeared and just as he was about to go back to his room for a shower he noticed Dick and a red haired guy heading to the gym and he panicked. If they went in there then they'd ruin the atmosphere and burst their bubble and Artemis would go home.

He didn't know what to do to so he grabbed Timmy as he was headed for the library and spoke quickly, "Dick and his friend are going to ruin the set up I made for Danny and Artemis, start crying."

Tim just raised an eyebrow, "What do I get out of it?"

Jason sighed, the kid looked all innocent and cuddly but he was the devil in disguise and Jason should have never taught him how to play poker. He could play people like puppets and sometimes his mind scared Jason and made him thank God that he got baby bird on his side before Dick could discover his talents and use them in a prank war or something stupid that would probably embarrass him.

"What do you want?" he asked and Tim smiled sweetly at him.

"Access to the Bat computer." Tim replied and Jason groaned, the devil, this kid was some sort of demon in disguise and Dick was a moron for falling for the sweet and innocent act and Jason was some sort of enabler for encouraging him.

Everyone was keeping Tim away from the night life, he had barely started training and he already wanted to at least help with the open cases or at least start getting familiar with the information that Batman had on the criminals but B said no, Tim was too young to read that list of crimes so they all thought it would be best if they kept him away from the cave at least until Dick was done teaching him some acrobatics mainly because they were trying to give him some sort of timeline and Tim was just tired of waiting.

"Deal now start bawling and make sure they don't go in there!"

Tim's eyes immediately filled with tears and he cried out for Dick who almost broke his neck in his haste to turn around and see why their baby bird was crying and sounding terrified. Jason nearly jumped over the banister so Dick wouldn't see him and ruin the whole keep Dick and red head out of the gym plan they had going on. Jason faintly heard Dick promising that everything was alright and why don't they go get some hot chocolate and calm down because there was no reason for him to be having nightmares. It was commonly known that Tim had nightmares since he was alone so often so while Tim demanded to be cuddled and the two teens took the younger boy away, Jason peeped in on Danny and Artemis, the two were still chatting away so Jason just shrugged and left them alone.

Tim took the extra attention for an hour before both Danny and Artemis walked into the kitchen chuckling about something and Wally jumped to his feet.

"What are you doing here?" he cried out in shock as he looked at Dick in confusion, Danny in both confusion and hostility and Artemis in shock even though she immediately frowned at him.

Dick on the other hand saw the video of Danny jumping into one of the cars with Artemis and assumed that they were already dating. He didn't bring it up mainly to give them some alone time and also because he didn't really know what to say, they were both older than him and even though Danny was his brother he was the older one, Dick assumed he knew what he was doing especially since he had a girlfriend back before.

"She's Danny's girlfriend." Replied Dick and before Danny or Artemis could respond someone else interrupted them.

"Since when does Danny have a girlfriend?" asked Bruce and Danny face palmed, Artemis's eyes widened in shock and horror as Bruce Wayne walked in and ignoring the looks of horror and shock on both his team mates face and his big brothers Dick decided that he was the perfect person to respond.

"About two weeks ago, there's a video from when he picked her up from school."

Danny finally remembered how to breathe and speak, honestly he hadn't been this embarrassed since Jazz tried to give him dating advice, very bad dating advice, it was around the time that his relationship with Sam was on the rocks and he was trying to save it.

"There's a video of me doing what now?" and he resisted the urge to bang his head against a wall, it wouldn't help the situation even though this entire situation sucked, seriously since when did stuff like this actually happen in real life? And somewhere in the back of his mind he knew that the whole video thing was not the most important part of the conversation and he had more important things to attend too but hey, he really was curious, since when did people video him when he wasn't doing some sort of presentation? Why were they even interested?

No one bothered to answer Danny, instead B put a hand on Artemis's shoulder and smiled, "You can be his date to the gala this weekend. They finally managed to prepare an event to announce that thing we discussed so you can bring her, I'll have Dinah send her a dress and I can get to know her."

Bruce left the room and there was a chill on the back of Artemis's neck which basically meant 'fuck with me son and I will end you', Dick didn't think anything was wrong and trailed after him asking something about him bringing Barbara to the event while Wally just stared at the two of them kind of shell shocked, a small part of her wondered whether they somehow managed to break him. Artemis grabbed Danny and dragged him back the way they came, she headed for his lab, it was one of the few places in the house that she could find.

"What was that?" she asked and Danny just dragged his hands through his hair because honestly he had no fucking idea where to even start with how badly everything just went so instead he just shrugged.

"Do you want to be my date?" asked Danny and her jaw dropped.

Artemis couldn't believe that he actually asked that question, his adoptive father basically gave her the shovel talk, his younger brother thought they were dating for who knows how long and they might have broken Wally and he was seriously considering taking her to some fancy 'gala', she wasn't even sure what that was, well actually it was probably a party but seriously how was she supposed to fit in at one of those?

"It might be fun and it would be better if you were there so do you want too? You don't have too, I can explain everything to B and-"

She cut him off with a kiss, because why not. It could be fun it could end up being the worst date of her life but Danny was sweet and kind and funny and she wanted to give them a chance and if it didn't work out then at least she wouldn't wonder 'what if' and he looked so cute all flustered trying to get her to say yes and it just melted her heart. If there was one thing she could be absolutely sure of was that he was not the type of person who hid from his feelings, he wanted her to come so he told her too, it was as simple as that when it came to Danny much easier than Kid Mouth who didn't know what he wanted.

Jason and Tim high fived when Artemis and Danny kissed and Tim smiled at him sweetly and said, "Remember Bat computer."

Jason smirked back at him, "I'll grant you access for 15 minutes, you take whatever you can in that time."

Tim frowned, "That wasn't the deal."

Jason shook his finger in front of him, "You never specified a time limit which leaves me with an opportunity. Gotta cover all ya bases Timmy, not a single thing can be overlooked."

Jason chuckled as Tim went back to whatever he was doing, that kid was a born business man and one day he was going to make grown men shit their pants at the mere mention of his name, maybe he could get Timmy to be a lawyer, like the ones that keep Luthor out of trouble. Timmy would be able to take them all on and he would win.

Jason thought back to how much he managed to accomplish when he realized something, Danny said something about powers when he was talking to Artemis and he didn't even know that Danny had any powers none of the other Bats did besides Dinah, then again it was just B and Robin and a lot of people didn't really know anything about Danny even he knew that his vigilante status was a huge mystery to the rest of the superhero community.

Later when Artemis left and Danny was in the gym with Jason having their training session, better late than never, he asked about it and it was only then did Danny realize that Jason and Tim didn't know where he came from. He called for Tim to come to the gym and explained everything to them after all they were family, they deserved to know everything, how he got his powers and what happened to him and how he eventually ended up here.

"So what does your ghost form look like?" asked Jason, mind still blown about an entire other universe while Tim looked like Danny broke his brain.

Danny hadn't changed into his Phantom form in so long, but he saw how excited they were too see it and he couldn't help but want to be in his other form as well, he had missed it more than he realized, Phantom was the part of himself that he had been hiding away in this world because there was no other being like him in this one. It made him sad sometimes, when he realized that there were no other ghosts like the ones that he had known, ones that would be similar to him, they existed the fact that Artemis and Zatanna found 'Secret' was proof enough but she wasn't like him. He managed to get an impression of her energy and he wasn't even sure what it was but it wasn't even remotely similar to his or any of the ghosts that he had known.

Phantom would draw attention from a lot people both the good and the bad, his DNA was probably more dangerous than Superman's because unlike him Danny's only weakness was electricity and that was because it was what had killed him, if someone managed to clone him and turn that clone into a weapon more powerful than he was, there was no guarantee that electricity would be able to take down his clone. Then there were experiments when people realized that he was technically half-dead and not even he knew if there were any other side effects to the ectoplasm that his body was now able to generate as easily as the human body produced blood.

All those reasons and excuses aside, Danny missed his ghost form, he missed the freedom that came with the power from that form and he knew that he couldn't hide from the fact that he would have to change into Phantom again. He couldn't hide from the past forever and the fact was that 'Danny Phantom' was his last connection to his family, to 'Team Phantom' and their carefree days of ghost hunting because once he changed he knew his uniform would be gone and he would be forced to accept the fact that he would never go back to those days and those people, he would be faced with the evidence that he truly was someone else now and thinking of the people that now called family, Danny was finally ready to see it for himself as well.

Danny took a deep breath and let the change wash over him, wondering if the suit had fully adapted to the changes of his psyche, if his last connection to who had once been was finally gone. Danny was shocked at the changes there was a white outline of the bat symbol and inside it was his own in green and Danny liked the changes, it pained him to know that he longer had the hazmat suit but at the same time he liked the new look.

Danny smiled to himself, he looked older now, more mature but at the same time he could still see the traces of where he had come from and even though his life was so different now nothing would ever change the fact that he had been a Fenton and the green on his uniform was proof of that, his dad always marked everything with a green F and now he wore both their colors and B's symbol, showing that not only was he part of the Batfamily but he had been a Fenton as well, just like Dick had been a Flying Grayson and Jason well, he didn't know who he would be yet but he had seen some sketches and one day he too would fly across the rooftops with their family.

Maybe Dinah could get a new Canary suit a Canary was a type of bird, she just needed the right symbol as well, she was after all the Bat mom it was only fair, that everyone knew exactly who would come for her if they took her, also something that would give the villains across the world nightmares when they realized exactly how screwed they would be, something for him to think about and tinker with in his lab.

Tim noticed Danny getting lost in his own head and tugged on Jason so that they could leave him to his tinkering. He often forgot when they were in his lab and he would start doing stuff that resulted in explosions which freaked them out even though Danny knew what he was doing (kind off) so when he went mad scientist, they just left him alone, it was just safer for everyone.

If someone had told Tim last year that the Bats would figure out his secret and offer him to be the next Robin he would have laughed and then crawled into bed to enjoy the little daydream but now that it was actually happening, he had so many idea's and plans and Jason was awesome and he wasn't so lonely anymore and his brain just didn't stop with the gratitude and the need to take this seriously so I don't get fired mind and he couldn't wait to a hero as well.

Danny was cool but Dick trained him more than Danny did and it was the opposite for Jason. Danny trained him hard while Dick helped here and there with this and that, he guessed that the two older boys mentored them with Danny taking care of Jason and Dick taking care of him but aside from the mentoring thing Tim was closest to Jason and Dick and Danny were scary when they teamed up. Jason taught him a lot of stuff as well but it was more playful and learn to let go and enjoy this and that while Tim reminded him of all the ways things could go wrong and how he couldn't treat it like a game.

They spoke to each other a lot about their training, school and how they were coping with all this, the family may have been made up of Dinah, B, Dick and Danny but it was a handful for people who had nothing and had no one around them, kind of overwhelming.

Tim was used to the rich kid stuff while he didn't have much street smarts so Tim taught Jason to blend in with the rest of the rich kids while Jason showed him how to be a kid and then there was the older kids that were bullying him at school and Jason showed up one day and beat the shit out of them before tucking Tim under his arm and threatening to break bones if they hurt him again.

Tim liked having someone who had his back and he knew that Jason appreciated the fact that he was there, helping him. Danny was great but he was also busy with college and inventing and the night job so having Tim to teach him which fork to use at a fancy dinner and how to dance properly so he didn't embarrass anyone helped, it also helped that he knew that B, Dick and Danny hated doing it but keeping up their image was important so Jason learned to do it just so that he wouldn't bring attention to the family just like Tim taught him, 'Unless you planned for spotlight to be on you don't let it hit you', give them a story and they won't stop, the more they dig the more questions they will eventually have and questions are bad for people with secrets.

Jason didn't get it at first so they spent a day researching how the media reacted to some of Bruce's past actions and how it led to the wrong questions being asked and how he would cause a scandal to give them something else to talk about so they would stop and he learned how he needed masks just like B, Danny and Dick even Dinah had learned to handle the press so he would have to as well and Jason had always been a fast learner. He excelled when Tim taught him things and Tim was always happy when he felt needed and useful and neither of them could wait for the gala to show off all that they managed to do on their own without anyone knowing.
