Reformed Dan but misunderstandings suck
So, Dan has been Reformed for Years at this point. You could go with the Fandom Typical version of just chilling out, or you could go with the AGIT version of the Redemption. Either way, Dan is fully reformed and trying to find his way in the World.
Unfortunately, not everybody knows/believes him.
You know all those Time Traveling Heroes who came back to stop some great catastrophe? That was Dan.
Impulse is fucking terrified of this guy, cause he Grew Up in the Central City Stronghold and saw Phantom tear down the Walls protecting the City in person.
Booster Gold grew up in the Metropolis Stronghold, so while he never really saw Phantom in his timeline he still did know of him. I mean, obviously, he murdered every hero on the planet and subjugated most of the world, but he doesn't have much personal stake in that.
Eobard Thawn hates Phantom. Thawn himself grew up in a world where Phantom killed every Hero in the world, and he was terrified that Phantom would track him down when he tried to become the new Flash. But once he became a Walking Paradox he saw as Time itself changed to erase Phantom from existence, he got really jealous. Why did Time decide Phantom was bad enough to erase, why not him!? He's Evil! He's a Terror on the Timeline! He deserves Clockworks attention dammit!
And then, they discover evidence that Phantom has come back in Time,
So now, any and all Time Travelers are trying to find the guy who single-handedly was the Apocalypse, and want to kill him to save the world. Or out of Jealousy in Thawns case.
Either way, no matter where Dan goes to try and settle down, a bunch of annoying Heroes always find him and attack him, yelling about "Stopping his Plans" and "Saving the Timeline!" And "It should have been me dammit!"
Honestly Thawn is the most annoying one, he just runs in and rants at him about how he is jealous of how much attention Clockwork gave him. Dude, just sdmit your crush already and leave me alone. (I'm not sorry)

Now I'm just imagining the Justice League were able to isolate the present Phantom and move him onto the Watchtower, preparing to stop him by sealing him away for eternity.
"Please... Stop. It hurts."
The ghost attempted to plead, but the heroes weren't gonna budge. Not when they knew what he was capable of, not if it meant ensuring the safety of everyone.
In a few minutes John, Zatanna, Fate, Raven, and the other powerful magic users in the Justice League are just about ready to finally get rid of Danny for good to ensure the bad future will never come to pass.
Phantom breathed out an icy mist with widened eyes before giving a weak smile.
"He's here..."
The members of the Justice League not focused on the ritual immediately became defensive at the ghost's utterance, especially when moments later the future Phantom appears, having broken into the Watchtower.
He appeared in the room so suddenly to knock the Magic users away and disrupt their sealing ritual on his past counterpart.
"It's alright kid, I'm here. You can take it easy."
The larger Phantom, lifted up his younger self looking protective over him.
"Th-Thanks, Dan."
Danny slowly closed his eyes, passing out in Dan's arms. He was exhausted and heavily weakened from the magic users and their failed sealing attempts.
"Now then..."
He looked over to the Justice League members, some got up with brave faces and others looked fearful.
"Are one of you twats going to explain what in the hell you think you're doing?"
"We can't leave a danger to roam free, not when the future of the world hangs in the balance." Superman, ever the beacon of hope, got up and shouted with determination, preparing to rally his allies to fight.
This immediately caused Dan to tilt his head before immediately becoming angry with realization.
"The future of the- Is that what you think this is about!?"
One of the Flashes got closer, now confused, "What do you mean by that Phantom, we thought it was obvious?"
"Look, if you heroes have beef with the Phantom who destroyed the future, me, then I get it and wouldn't blame you. But I also think you idiots are probably missing a few CRITICAL details."
Dan took a deep breath and looked away in thought momentarily.
"The event that caused my descent into madness has been long since adverted, and you can thank YOUR timeline's Phantom for being a stubborn little bastard to not become me."
He motioned to the teenager in question, still unconscious in his arms as he was exhausted from being in the unfinished sealing ritual.
"But you're here and-" Booster Gold raised an eyebrow, only for Phantom to cut him off.
"Hanging with him? Has it not occurred to idiots that MAYBE even the worst person CAN change? That everyone could be a good person if they just tried?"
A few of the heroes who got the reference snickered as they were making jokes about having a bad time, but were silenced by Batman glaring at them.
"Listen, I'm not gonna pretend I haven't killed most of you in my timeline and didn't destroy 90% of all life on the planet. I've got a hell of a lot to make up for.... But don't, for the love of Clockwork, take it out on HIM."
Phantom looked back at the younger one, before turning away to leave the way he came.
"Now then. I would highly appreciate it if you stopped trying to take care of a problem that has long since been taken care of by someone else, before you assholes do something to turn him into the monster you all think he will become."
He looked back with a glare before he flew through the wall, leaving the heroes to think upon his words.
Bonus
(I don't think enough people are capitalizing on specifically Eobard Thawne in this prompt)
Dan and Danny are just dealing with the Justice League and their attempts to change the future, but Reverse-Flash is watching like a stalker with what is DEFINITELY not a crush. (Shut up)
Maybe he gets petty enough to try and go back in time to erase Jazz just to get under Phantom's skin...
...only to immediately find Danny and Dan there wearing Time Medallions just to piss Thawne off further and kick his shit in for attempting to erase Jazz from existence.

Why do I always find the DPxDC prompts/storylines that have angst?
