“So, why are we opening all the doors in the zone again?”

“Oh, come on, Sam. It’s for our map!” Danny said. “You never know which doors would be helpful in case something happens.”

“Or if Danny gets in trouble again and we need to know which doors to avoid under all costs.” Tucker added as they slowly followed behind Danny. “I do not want to have to eat another buffet’s worth of blood blossoms again!”

Sam sighed from inside the specter speeder. “I mean why go into the doors at all at this point? They all lead to some kind of disaster situation. Or worse, Klemper.”

The trio all shuddered at the reminder. There had been way too many instances of opening a door and it somehow leading back to Klemper’s lair.

“I don’t know, some of the doors are interesting. And besides this is way more interesting than studying for another one of Lancer’s tests.” 

“Woah! Look at this door!”

Danny had flown up in front of a beautifully carved door made of dark wood that had a large yellow cat’s eye taking up a third of the door.

“That one’s different. It’s not purple like the rest.” Tucker commented

“I’m gonna open it!”

Danny did so, revealing a psychedelic swirl that seemed to ripple along the doorframe. “Oooh, weird.” Danny said as he stuck his hand in and turned it intangible experimentally. It actually worked, which was a surprise given that most of his ghost powers didn’t work in the ghost zone.

“Maybe we should leave this door alone, guys? I feel like we might have learned our lesson about not going into mysterious portals just for the hell of it.”

“Sam’s right Danny, maybe we should leave this one alone.”

“Oh relax guys, it’s just this weird water stuff.”

“Still Danny, let’s just head back. Who knows when your parents are gonna notice we took the speeder again.” Sam worried.

“I’ll just take a quick look through it and be right back.” Danny turned intangible and dove into the water.

Twin shouts of his name cut off as his Fenton phone crackled with static while he sped through the water to come up shooting out of the water into this weird cavern place. There was this black gunky water below him and all these floating cubes surrounding him. If he listened closely he could hear these weird whispers echoing off the walls of this place. 

“Woah…”

Danny floated and spun in a slow circle looking at everything inside this lair.

“Hello?” His call echoed around him into the great expanse.

“Now this is something else. Wait till Sam and Tucker hear about this!”

Danny’s attention is then captured by one of the cubes lighting up and floating towards him.

“Hmm? What’s this?” Grabbing the cube he then felt something not unsimilar to getting sucked into the Fenton thermos before it cleared and he was looking at Sam and Tucker again. 

“What the!?”

“Danny?!” Sam and Tucker shouted, looking at the glass windshield of the specter speeder that Danny was now inhabiting.

“Woah, this is weird!”

“Danny, why would you do that! That was so irresponsible! And what are you doing?!”

“Chill out Sam, nothing bad happened and besides, this is pretty cool.”

“Dude, you cut out on us and disappeared without a trace. Not cool. And now you’re?!?!?! Inside the glass of the specter speeder?!?! Did one of your dad’s inventions malfunction or something?”

“Ah, Tuck, don't worry. It was just something in the lair. I’ll be back in a flash.”

“Do you even know how to get out of there?”

“I’ll figure it out. See ya!” Danny said before willing himself back to the weird place with all the cubes. “Man, this is a cool door. It’s definitely going on the map.”

“Curious. We don’t get people in these parts. You’re not even a demon!”

Danny whirled around at the new voice, throwing his fists up and powering an ecto-blast before taking in the stranger. It was a strange creature with a big visible skull with a weird bird tube coming out of one of his eye sockets, horns, sinewy wings, and a big bushy beard wearing a ratty robe and pajamas including a t-shirt that said “Bad Girl Coven” on it.

“Woah! What kind of ghost are you?”

“HA! Oh child, I am not a ghost. This place is a connection between the Demon Realm and the Human realm.”

“Woah! The Demon Realm? Is that like the Infinite Realms?” Danny asked floating closer and coming out of his fighting stance to sit criss-crossed in the air.

“Mmm. In a sense, I suppose it could be compared, yet the Demon Realm is more like earth while this place has a deeper connection to the Infinite Realms as it were.”

“Is this your lair then?”

“Oh, my child I do not have a lair. I just spend time here to watch over my son, King.” Another of the cubes shone and the creature took hold of it and tilted it towards Danny to show him a view from a window of another creature that looked similar to the one in the lair curled up on a couch with a stuffed rabbit and a human girl watching something on a high tech cell phone.

“That’s your son?”

“Yes. He’s grown into quite a sweet child. His adopted family is quite good to him, he ‘loafs’ them a lot. Ha! Bread pun!”

“HA! Is that the best you can ‘dough?’”

“Oh well done, young one! Perhaps you shall one day have to come back and share more bread puns with me.”

“Will do, Mister! Now, uh, how do I actually get out of here?”

“For you, I don’t think it will be too difficult. You should be able to fly back through the waters until you come out how you came in.”

“Thanks! We’ll see you again one day.”

Danny flew down through the water and out the door, closing it behind him before phasing into the specter speeder and heading home with his friends.

Couldn’t help but think of Jazz and Ellie so here’s them added to the mix. Not super sure of the voices but it is what it is:

Jazz sighed.

It had been about 4 months since Danny had disappeared. No one really knew for sure, since their parents hadn’t noticed for about a week while Sam and Tucker were out of town.

Jazz had been more distant with her parents after she graduated and moved out, but that was the final straw to cut all contact. If they couldn’t be trusted to keep track of her baby brother when he went missing what could they be trusted with?

At least she had Ellie to rely on. She had been stopping by more frequently to check on word of Danny. She had travelled from visiting the beaches of California just to see how her older brother/cousin/clone was doing and if there was news. Jazz loved having her, but trying to support them both on her meager internship while going to school was rough. There was no way she would go to Vlad about this. That man had done enough to both her little brother and sister, he wouldn’t be interfering anymore. The only good thing was that she knew Danny wasn’t stuck with him. Vlad had seemed genuinely distraught that his “little badger” had disappeared.

If only she had some clue where Danny was. A note, a piece of clothing, even some-

Jazz’s inner monologue was cut off by the sound of a portal opening. Whirling around, Jazz was stupefied to see Danny himself flying through the portal.

“Danny!”

“Jazz!”

The two siblings embraced. After a few minutes Jazz cut off to look over Danny for any injury.

“Are you all right? What happened? Where have you been?!?!”

“I’m okay! Jazz, I’m okay. I’m actually really great.”

Jazz looked back at him incredulously. “You’re great?! That’s all you have to say?!? Danny you’ve been gone for four months! I’ve been worried sick! Ellie hasn’t stopped looking for you, I can barely get her to stay a weekend! Where have you been?! What the hell happened?!?!”

Danny looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’ve sorta been in another dimension???”

“ANOTHER DIMENSION!”

“Yeah? It’s really nice over there! I’ve been staying with this one guy, Lex, and he’s awesome! He technically used to be a supervillain, but he’s really mellowed out! You would really like him. I really want you to come meet him! He’s like ten times better than mom and dad were.”

“A supervillain? Danny…”

“No, no, he’s really cool! And you said Ellie’s here? Lex has a clone son who’s really cool! And their relationship is getting better! Ellie would love to have someone to connect with! Plus there’s a really famous mental institution only like an hour away! I mean it’s in Gotham but still, I bet you would love to work there!”

“Danny are you trying to convince me to move there?” Jazz asked incredulously

“Well… kinda? I- I really like it over there Jazz. And I know things would be better for you and Ellie too.”

Jazz sighed. Of course Danny was only back for 10 minutes and he’s already trying to convince her if some plan of his. As glad as she was about him being safe and well looked after, she wasn’t quite ready to upend her whole life immediately.

“Okay, Danny. I am way to tired to deal with all of this right now. Ellie should be by tomorrow, and I know you two will want to see each other. Let’s table this discussion for now. Plus, i know you’ll be wanting to see Tucker and Sam again.”

“Fine Jazzy, you win for now. But I know I’ll convince you.”

Lex sighed

It had been almost four months since Danny had come into his life, and a week since he disappeared. The fact that this one boy could change his life so dramatically, was something else. Because of Danny, he had a burgeoning relationship with the clone and he felt truly happier than he in ages.

Or at least he had before Danny vanished.

That boy seemed to bring nothing but trouble at times. The last thing he heard of Danny had been a quick text “Found a portal b back soon”

That had been a week ago. The relativity of “soon” was wearing thin.

Lex really didn’t know what he would do if that gremlin child of his was truly gone.

Lex stared forlornly out his window of the penthouse office. He sighed once more before a ripping sound echoed from his side.

“Lex!”

A black and white blur launched itself at him. Lex toppled backwards with the added weight while relief flooded through him.

“Danny! Thank goodness! Are you alright? Did you get hurt? Did you-“

“Mr. Luthor, I presume?”

Lex turned around to see a tall, red headed girl with another who looked extremely similar to Danny- his clone he would guess based on the stories.

“Yes. Who are you?”

“Oh!” Danny jolted away “These at my sisters! Jazz and Ellie! Oh! And I found a way to make a permanent portal!”

“Yes, and I’m here to discuss joint custody.”

Lex stared back at the imposing young girl with a sense of dread creeping up on him.

What had he gotten himself into?

Lex Luther finds Phantom alone and unable to find his way back to his home dimension and takes him in with the intention of turning him into a weapon against Superman.

Three weeks later hes changed his whole tune. Danny isn't even allowed to fight anymore without backup because Lex's paternal instincts kicked in so hard that the blow would have vaporized the sun.
