#Danny just wants to protect his baby girl and torture anyone who did her wrong

[melyndadwest-blog]

It had been 15 years. Fifteen years of recovering from the injuries sustained by the GIW, more than half the time he had lived in the mortal world, mending the crack in his core that could never truly heal while knowing that the people he loved were constantly being hurt and ended. He remembered the searing pain of the scalpel cutting through his flesh, the rawness of his throat causing his screams. He remembered the look of fear in his little sister's eyes, his daughter's eyes, as the agents, the monsters, took her for testing. He remembered her cries and how his weakness, his impotence, caused it all to happen. He was weak, and because of it, his little star almost died. Her body too unstable to sustain such injuries for so long, slowly and painfully melting away while there was nothing he could truly do.

Protection.

How pathetic. Who could he really protect? His parents? The ones who, near the end, after he told them the truth, were so sorry and hurt by the monstrosities they had said and done to their son? The ones who, after everything, still loved him enough to die, ignorable to the agents trying to capture him? His sister? Who was almost killed trying to rescue him from his cage? Or his friends, the ones who screamed about the injustice happening to his people? About the way the supposed "good guys" were treating his anguish and pain?

Protection.

He never truly understood how much it meant to him. He always thought himself above the obsessions of his people. How delusional he was. He finally understood the obsessive needs his kin had, the pain in his core with every failure, the way every scream from his little star broke him a little more, piece by piece. Truly, he was a pathetic man, whose only success was taking Ellie's core inside himself and nurturing her, even if it made him so weak he could barely think.

It was in trying to protect her, his baby, his light, his everything, that in a desperate attempt, he managed to summon Fright Night and his army to rescue him. Even surrounded by anti-ecto walls, he could do nothing. And even though his army rescued all his brethren, in his exhaustion caused by giving life again to his little star, he could do nothing to save her as the agents took her away.

And so he planned. Every day, for 15 years, he planned. He was no longer afraid of Dan, finally understanding him, understanding how he could cause so much death. Humans, after all, did not deserve their kindness; they spat on the souls of the dead, disgusted and hateful towards the peace the dead found from life. It was in this understanding that he freed Dan, and together they planned to take action. Action against the constant experiments on his kind, action against the constant ENDING of HIS PEOPLE.

So, in these 15 years, he sent force after force. A small army made it simple to rescue the people tortured by the humans and to gather information about the people protecting that wrecked place. And now, he was ready. He would protect his loved ones, he would rescue Ellie from the hell she was living, and he would exact his revenge on humanity. The humans were sure of their power, having driven away his little expedition force every time they were sent. But that ended now. Death was a kindness these people did not deserve, so he would show them how cruel and painful living could be.

The Villains Daughter

So! Years ago, back when the Justice League was only just starting out, only a year or two after their initial team-up, they had one of their biggest battles to date. A group of Extra-Dimensional Beings had burst into their reality, hellbent on destroying a Government Facility and the nearby small town in Illinois.

They barely managed to beat the Invading Army back, although the Government Facility and a part of the nearby Town had been destroyed in the battle.

Later, they would learn about what had happened. Apparently the Government Base, called a GIW Facility, had managed to finally Crack the secret to Interdimensional Travel a few days earlier. Unfortunately, they had opened a Portal into a Dimension known as the Ghost Zone, ruled over by a Tyrant King who wanted to enslaved all world under him. Their Breaching of the GZ had alerted the Tyrant King to the existence of their Dimension, and he had launched an immediate Invasion to try and take it over.

And the evidence supported this.

Wonder Woman shared Legends of her People, telling that their Founding Ancestor had fled the rule of a Tyrant King when she passed into the Afterlife.

Zatara shared his Magic Tomes, showing them passages detailing the horrific Rule of the Tyrant King of the Infinite Realms.

They even asked Boston Brand, the Deadman and resident Ghost about it. He hadn't been the the Ghost Zone in Years, but even he told them that he had personally fled the Tyrant King.

And they also learned that when the Tyrant King set his eyes on something, he did not falter on his Warpath to acquire it. The Tyrant King, Pariah Dark, would be back for their World, again and again.

And they needed to be prepared. This Battle was what kickstarted their true Commitment to the idea of a Team. They knew they could not defeat Pariah Dark alone, so they needed to remain as a Team.

But there was another thing that came about from the Battle.

While the JLA had been helping clean up, Wonder Woman came across a strange sight. A Baby had been left in the rubble of the GIW Building.

She asked around, investigated, and did all she could to find the babies parents. At first she thought that one of the GIW Agents had brought their kid to work that day, but their records indicated that none of the Agents had children of that Age. And Neither did any of the other workers who worked on the base, like the Janitors or the Kitchen Staff. And of they did, all of their children were accounted for.

She eventually came to the conclusion that the Baby must belong to somebody in the nearby Town, but that lead led nowhere either.

She finally came to the conclusion that the Baby's parents must have died in the Invasion, a very unfortunate but very real possibility. She was going to place her into the System, but over the course of her investigation she had grown fond of the Child.

She decided to Adopt the baby herself. She didn't know the child's name, so she had to come up with a new one.

"How do you like the name, Stella?"

The baby gurgled in delight.

...

Over the next decade of their Teams Existence, the Justice League had to fend off the Legions of the Ghost King's Army many more times. It seemed that Pariah had grown wise to the fact that they were the ones defending the Human Realm, as almost all of the later attacks were directed on them personally.

It made sense, they were the First Line of Defense against his Armies, if he managed to defeat them, their World would soon fall.

But they dealt with the attacks as they came. They had made it their mission to defend their Home from the Forced of Pariah Darks Army, and they would not falter now, or ever.

In the case of Wonder Woman, he Daughter had grown to be a fine little lady. Stella had eventually developed Powers similar to her mother, in that she could fly and had super strength, and had begged to be trained as a Hero.

And who was Diana to deny her Daughter her greatest wish? Over the next 5 years, Diana trained Stella in the ways of the Amazon's. Then, when Stella was 15, she had her join the newly formed Young Justice.

She made a great group of friends on that Team, and even started going by Ellie as a Nickname. Her best friend was by far Conner, though she didn't know why she felt such a strong connection to him? It felt like she could relate to him, but her situation was completely different?

Ah well, her Mom wouldn't mind having another kid, would she? She always wanted a Brother!

...

Meanwhile in the Ghost Zone, the Ghost King was getting anxious. After 15 years, his Agents in the Human Realm had finally managed to set up the Ritual needed to Summon Him into the Human Realm.

Who knew that accepting the Ghost King's Throne would bar him from entering the Human Realm through normal Means? He couldn't even use the Portal, he needed to be summoned or he simply wouldn't be able to leave his new home dimension.

But now, it was almost time. Just another year or two, and he would finally be able to enter the Human Realm. He would finally be able to Find Her. His Daugther.

Danny would finally be able to reunite with his daughter, Ellie.

tying in with the forgiveness meta. it’s not as though owen had completely forgiven joel but he had, in a sense, moved on. with his relationship with abby over it was easier to try and heal from the pain that was caused in salt lake by joel murdering family and friends, without a constant reminder — he didn’t hold any resentment for abby, in fact, he wished he could do more for her, but he could only watched as she was utterly and completely consumed by her revenge. owen was in an okay headspace, i should also add in that, no, he hadn’t completely gotten over abby, i don’t think he would have ever gotten over her, abby is his one true love, and ya’ll can fight me on this… it sucks for mel and owen is a dick for even involving himself with her to begin with but he HAD moved on… or so he thought. he thought abby was no longer the person he fell in love with, he THOUGHT he fell out of love with her, but there was always that tiny feeling in his chest that stiffened whenever abby was around or mentioned, she still had a piece of him. it was very apparent and even before the whole kill joel mission he and mel were having problems with their relationship — though nothing they could have worked through, as they had been together for a whole year, things were serious between them.

> A: you guys doing okay? dating life’s good? > O: uhh... ( at this point he kinda scoffs ) for the most part. yeah, i mean... she can be really sweet.

i think that owen had opened up to mel a lot about his feelings about getting revenge on joel and the whole situation, most of the time owen is an open book, he will tell people how he feels, and usually he is shut down — he tries to avoid a lot to save himself from the heartache or save others the headache. 

after abby tells owen about finding tommy, the first things to pop into owens head is that by luck he’ll have everyone else on his side, if not all of them, at the very least mel would be… but abby had told them all and all of them agreed, mel included, that hurt him, he felt betrayed, but not just by mel by everyone who had agreed, his whole friend group, the people who he had painted onto the walls of his aquarium, his home… owen loves his friends a lot so of course he would agree to go with them, and to be honest there was always a part of him that did crave the revenge that they all sought, but he tried to bury that part of him in the past and move on and try to live life looking forward, instead of being led by revenge. because owen is honestly curious and being led by his own buried revenge and also wants to support abby and the others… he goes along.

he finds it hard to sleep most nights they’re out hunting tommy to get information about joel — his thoughts keep him up, he keeps searching for ways to get them all to see reason, for them all to just turn back and take their lives back instead of letting this consume them, just move on and let themselves be happy because all of their fallen friends and family would have wanted nothing more than that, but he could never think of the right words — when he found out mel was pregnant, due to her acting strange, he was determined to head back so mel and the baby could get the medical attention they would require, he was definitely not about to let mel continue this mission, and he hoped all of them would see reason and agree that it would be best to turn back no matter how far they had gotten, mel was much more important than revenge. 

when he finds jackson, his first thought is to keep it to himself, he doesn’t want anyone else to know about it, still hoping they’ll all change their minds and go back, but after careful thought he figures with mel being pregnant and a whole settlement that the others would get skittish, and wary of the whole mission… as they should be, it was more a suicide mission than anything at this point — who knows how many people resided in jackson and if whether or not they were hostile, owen didn’t want to find out. when he tells abby he hopes to some holy being that she’d see it that way — but she doesn’t… instead her intentions seems to be more focused on killing joel, knowing that she won’t see reason or listen to anything he has to say, due to him hurting her and her expressing her feelings of betrayal to him, owen returns to the lodge, hoping that abby will eventually come to her senses…

in returning to the lodge, he has nothing to do but wait, as abby is in charge of this op, there’s nothing he can do. owen felt his relationship on the rocks with the others as he disagreed with their motives, he felt left out from the others due to his own opinions not matching up to theirs, his friends are the most important people in his life — he’d lay his life down for any one of them, so that really messed him up, it made him feel like he was alone, though it was just personally his own feelings, he was caught up in his own thoughts and his want for them all to be better, himself included. the nagging feeling in the back of his head that urged him to see this through and get revenge for all those lost was consistently there to remind him of the darkness he held in his heart.

when abby shows up with tommy and joel, owen is skeptical, he hates this — she has brought these two, at the time strangers, into their safe space… once realization hits he can feel his blood began to boil — feelings he’d kept deep within him, feelings he never wanted to feel again. he just wants it to be over with, this man who had taken everything from them was right in front of them and yet owen still couldn’t bring himself to do much… he gets involved as soon as mel, his pregnant girlfriend at the time, gets close to joel, he warns joel not to move, he’s worried about mel getting hurt in this revenge mission — he cares greatly for mel and their baby growing inside of her.

while abby and the others are torturing joel, owen has to leave the room, because he finds himself feeling a bit sick — he looks around the room and suddenly its filled with strangers, he can hardly even recognize himself… they have stooped so low that they would torment this man who had previously saved one of their own, they should be thanking him… but they repay the kindness with brutal torture… owen is torn and takes a moment to breathe, mel follows him — at this time he feels betrayed still, he and mel were together for a year… ready to celebrate their one year anniversary and she chose to go on a revenge mission with abby without speaking to him about it, knowing that joel is the reason he and abby broke up… knowing that abbys lust for revenge drove him away from her, he can’t even bring himself to look at mel. he just sits and speaks about how this is wrong and how they shouldn’t be here and they could have been happy… because at least they still had each other.

when owen enters the room again it’s because he hears the ruckus that ellie causes — he takes a nice long look at ellie — his heart breaks for her, and to see joel barely alive brings forth a sour taste in his mouth. he finally steps up and tells abby to end it — no matter how badly he had wanted it before this had gone on too long and before they lost their humanity they needed to end it. 

owen already felt like an outsider within the salt lake group, but he felt even more like an outsider when he had to fight to protect ellies life, she was an innocent girl who the others looked at as loose ends… mel even agreed that both ellie and tommy should be killed — owen refused to become like joel and just massacre people… like i stated before he saw abby in this girl and somewhere in the back of his head he knew she may end up just like abby he couldn’t let any of them kill her, because there’s no justification, ellie and tommy didn’t do anything, they were innocent… they only wanted to protect their family. owen was willing to fight all of them on that — another moment when he felt like it was him against the salt lake crew, his dear friends… needless to say his relationships with them were never the same… he couldn’t look at them, nor himself on the way back.. they brutally killed a man in front of this girl who may have been his daughter, in the same room as his brother… owen was left feeling numb to everything. 

as they returned owen spent a while locked in his room — until he finally spilled to mel, he spilled his whole feelings on the situation and then just told her he had enough and couldn’t do this anymore — that was the last he had spoken to mel before keeping himself busy with missions. he wanted to avoid not just mel but all of the others from the salt lake crew, so much so that he would have danny as his partner — the feelings never left him… and eventually when it came down to killing that scar, he couldn’t he saw a tired old man… same he saw with joel — that haunted him so much, he couldn’t sleep without seeing that weak old man ( joel ) lying there just ready to give up, and the old scar who gave him that same look, he was done fighting after that moment, because he felt himself becoming a monster, becoming someone who he didn’t like… someone without morals, or a heart…. someone who had abandoned humanity.

The Villains Daughter

So! Years ago, back when the Justice League was only just starting out, only a year or two after their initial team-up, they had one of their biggest battles to date. A group of Extra-Dimensional Beings had burst into their reality, hellbent on destroying a Government Facility and the nearby small town in Illinois.

Later, they would learn about what had happened. Apparently the Government Base, called a GIW Facility, had managed to finally Crack the secret to Interdimensional Travel a few days earlier. Unfortunately, they had opened a Portal into a Dimension known as the Ghost Zone, ruled over by a Tyrant King who wanted to enslaved all world under him.
