The Ghost King Wants To Rest!
After years of discovering about his immortality and living through the death and reincarnation of his loved ones, Danny was tired. The world had changed: it had destroyed, rebuilt, reboot, he honestly lost the thread over the years.
Although he could admit that it was interesting to see the evolution, the arrival of heroes on his "original" dimension. And maybe he forced Technus to build him a radio that would alert him to space-related issues there...
He was thrilled when Martian Manhunter was heralded as a hero (Superman was a pretty cool alien yes, but too... human?), though that was basically all the news he had of current civilization (not that he needed further)
The years passed and at the end he decided to live out his retirement on earth out of nostalgia (and by that he means Clockwork got his ass out of the Realms for a break) in what was once Amity a long time ago, he built a nice cabin in the mountains and settled there.
His relationship with Clockwork had evolved over the years, and Danny understood that his mentor (sometimes father) was very concerned that immortality would negatively affect him.
Seeing how he locked himself in his castle for the first few years after Jazz death didn't help alleviate his fears. So Danny didn't complain when the ghost threw him to Earth on that dimension (besides, it had Aliens now! and he missed Amity...even if it was not Amity anymore)
But people won't stop pestering him during his retirement! "Save us" "Help us balance the world, chosen one" "Play with me, let cause chaos!" And more ridiculous phrases. Can the horned boy and wizards leave him alone!? He just wanted to rest!
He couldn't even ask his loved ones for help because their reincarnations didn't recognize him (or did, and made fun of his situation).
On the other hand, Justice League Dark and Klarion have spent years trying to bring the powerful entity that lives in the mountains to their side but nothing works! Why is it so intent on pretending to be an old man with an appearance of 20!?
#Jazz is reincarnated as Harley Quinn#Danny now believes her ability to attract toxic boyfriends is supernatural#Sam was reincarnated as Cass#they meet because he though his best friend/ex girlfriend would appreciate the vibes#and then boom#there she is#she gets her memories back like two seconds after bumping into him and she just starts laughing#because the scruffy immortal man she new a few lives ago now looked even more like a wet cat#meanwhile Tucker found his Pharoh wand thing years ago and fully remembered all of his lives#and he’s not really anyone important#he’s just some dude with way too much power who refuses to be either a hero or a villain#he remembers what Danny did as one and just said NOPE#He uses his power to cheat in video games#‘Danny did it so now it’s my turn’#He just shows up at Danny’s house and magics in a router and ten different gaming consoles#and it’s like they were never separated#they summon Sam/Cass to play games#they both cheat#she still wins#Tucker is also Amanda Waller’s worst enemy I decided#she’s always trying to either catch or kill him but she fails every time#and afterwards Tucker just reprograms everything she owns and steals her electronics#then Danny happens#and now there’s two of them#and Danny will ALWAYS stick it to an authority figure#(even though he is one)#one day he just shows up in Harley’s apartment and she doesn’t bat an eye#her brain just goes ‘baby brother!’ and she sees nothing wrong with this#Danny just wants to help her because goddamnit somehow she’s as traumatized as he is#and he’s been vivisected
