I don't know if this has been asked yet, but how or why is Cyn with the ladies group? I'm genuinely curious of the circumstances. If you're not ready to answer that quite yet I have a simple question, what do all the ladies like to do as hobbies?

Uzi was fully aware of who she was rebuilding, V of course tried to attack cyn the moment they saw her.

but considering how they found her? Uzi had to sympathize with her situation, After all she’s been in a similar position.

A fight between Danny and Skulker within the ghost zone carried them to a section that Danny wasn't familiar with. It was near a floating island that was overgrown much like Skulker's that the two of them suddenly got ambushed by a third party.

The new ghost seemed more interested in fighting Skulker than Danny, and he didn't hesitate at all to pull out a green glowing serated knife and a matching gun. Their snarling and growling was like nothing Danny had heard before and the insults were also a lot more vicious than what Danny ever heard from Skulker.

It was clear to Danny that these two hated each other.

"Whatever!" Skulker twists mid aerial dodge into Danny's direction, "This isn't over whelp, I'll have your pelt next time!" Skulker shouts before promptly flying off.

The new ghost then approaches Danny, all the while sneering at Skulker's retreating form. Talking with the new guy is... uncomfortable, Danny has to carefully navigate the conversation because it seems like the slightest thing sets him off, aka the guy's masked eyes start glowing brighter and get this smokey effect, and the belt of bullet shells he's wearing over his shoulder catches fire.

But Danny learns that the ghost goes by Ravager and that he's the son of the greatest mercenary there is, was, will be (according to him of course).

Danny also learns that Ravager finds his close combat skills to be atrocious and offensive to look at, "your hand to hand is shit. No wonder you're dead," and the next thing he knows he gets dragged towards the floating chunk of land for an impromptu cqc lesson.

Ravager shows him various fighting skills at a cleared stretch of land nearby a half demolished building that looks like it might have been a T shaped tower at one point.

In fact the whole island has the look of a post apocalyptic city, overgrown ruins of buildings everywhere.

When Danny asks, Ravager tells him it suits him just fine like this and with a name like his Danny is inclined to believe him.

Ravager is disappointed that Danny is a hero and some parts of his personality remind him of his younger brother who he rather not think about at all, other parts of Danny remind him of Robin, who he really doesn't want to think about at all.

In the end though, curiosity gets the better of him and he asks Danny if he can take a look around, see if he can find a guy named Deathstroke (very reassuring name) and report back what he's doing nowadays.

Ravager is not happy with what Danny finds out for him.

"So there was this girl and she apparently also goes by Ravager so to be honest, I'm a little confused now"

"He Fucking replaced me!!?!" flames burst out around Ravager as he shoults.

Danny tries to placate, "... okay now, maybe it's more a passing on the torch kinda thing, keeping your memory alive or something?"

"Where is that portal you've talked about, I'm gonna fucking kill him," Yeah this guy is not listening.

"Now that seems like a rash and poorly thought out thing to do, maybe instead-"

But Ravager is done listening and instead he just yoinks Danny with him in his hunt for vengeance.

Meanwhile on the other side Rose is telling Dick and Jason about a spooky white haired meta kid that popped out of nowhere, asked her if she knew where Deathstroke is at and when she attacked him he deflected all her moves as if he'd done it a thousand times before.

From Robin:

(description: orchid-like flowers in a black variety, found on Arjbo. Whether they were imported or they grow there, Robin is not certain. And a hand-written letter in a handmade envelope. The inside includes some dried flowers that emit a faint fragrance when opened.)

"Theo my love,

As I said, I’ve never had a valentine before, I’ve never even celebrated the holiday, so I hope that I’m doing this correctly. Valentine’s Day simultaneously seems to have rules, and not have rules at the same time. It almost baffles me that it’s coming up on a year since you joined the ship. Since you came back into my life. It feels unreal almost; that you’re here. Let alone that you want to be with me. It just all feels incredible. If I were to choose, if it were really all up to me—I’d like it to almost be like this for many more years: traveling together, seeing the stars and far-off planets together. Having all the time in the universe to kiss you and gaze at your beautiful face. Hey—when we land on Earth, let’s pick up some Valentine’s candy. And catch a movie, if you’re interested. xo

Robin"

here's another ant-mimicking jumping spider that I encountered in Singapore: Myrmaplata plataleoides, the weaver ant mimic.

while females look a great deal like their ant models, males (like this one) have massive, exaggerated fangs used in territorial and mating displays, which complicate the disguise. however, ants routinely carry their dead away from the nest, so it's thought that a male M. plataleoides mimics a worker holding another ant—his jaws even have false "eyes" on the ends!

his mimicry was clearly good enough to fool the ants; none of them seemed to take notice even as he repeatedly doubled back to guard his territory instead of heading further up the tree. although mimicry like this is often sensationalized as something insidious or spooky, Myrmaplata has no intention of eating the ants. rather, the spider hides among them for protection: weavers won't eat nestmates, and other predators know that weaver ants bite, spray acid, and attack in hordes. running with the ants might be risky, but he's always alert, watching their every move with his big eyes. what a life that must be, always living on the margins of a colony of hunters that would devour him, yet also keep him alive without ever knowing it

Ghost Driver 4

masterpost

Danny was starting to suspect he had kidnapped a child. He rapped his fingers against the steering wheel nervously. Jeeze. That was bad. Was Danny the stranger danger? He hit the brakes hard and turned the wheel hard to pull off a parking trick. He didn’t intend to be the stranger danger!

‘I think that is a human child. Wow, I hate myself.’ Danny turned off the car and resisted the urge to beat himself into unconsciousness against the steering wheel. ‘But he’s been helpful. Maybe it’s fine?’

He put that anxiety away to deal with later. 

“Here we are.” Robin unbuckled gingerly, another nail in the coffin he definitely didn’t have. What kind of ghost would use a seatbelt? Danny wanted to slap himself in the face. Maybe Robin didn’t know what Danny had thought. He hadn’t called him a ghost, right? Not directly. Maybe there was a way out of this social situation that wouldn’t be really awkward.

‘He appeared out of like, nowhere,’ Danny defended himself miserably. ‘In a graveyard! He moves weird- he’s just a spooky little guy.’

It was probably the kind of mistake that anyone could make. 

Whatever. 

He let Robin take the lead, mind and stomach churning. This had been such a weird day. First off, Victor had turned out to be not Victor, and also to be a total knockout babe. Then, Jay did like, a big hero thing promising to keep Danny safe and kissed his hand and—

His face burnt at the memory. Anyway, of course he was trying to find the guy. Anyone would want to secure a date. 

‘I am starting to wonder if he’s dead, though, and I just didn’t notice. The news articles about his death and also the headstone are pretty compelling evidence. Did I fail to notice he was dead?’

In past he would have said “fat fucking chance, I am an expert.” But, uh.

‘It’s not like I’ve never been fooled before. I thought Spectra was alive at first. And...’

He cut a look at Robin. Christ, his chest was expanding. Yeah, he was breathing. Danny wound fingers through his hair and pulled. Real. Human. Child. He grimaced.

 He was going to jail for like, ever. 

“I’m a disgrace to ectology and the afterlife,” he said mournfully.

Robin cut him a surprised look, movement sharp and aptly birdlike. “What’s that?”

“Nothing,” Danny dismissed. “Get the door open, it’s fine.”

“Like it’s that easy,” Robin muttered, but he went back to whatever arcane stuff he was doing. Because he was not a ghost, and couldn’t just phase through. Danny stuck his hands in his pockets, resigned to seeing how this played out.

It took Robin nearly ten minutes to disarm the security system, but he opened the door to the safe house gingerly. Nothing shot them. 

“Lemme go first,” Danny said, because he sort of still hoped that Batman wouldn’t break his fingers with a novelty bat-shaped hammer for this offense. He edged past Robin and into the apartment. He flicked on a light. “Oh, there he is,” Danny said, relieved.

Robin ducked in under his shoulder shockingly fast. “Jason?” He pulled up short. 

“Yeah, he’s out of it,” Danny agreed. Jason was slouched on the sofa, hand hanging over the side. He had some kind of road rash up the side of his face, scabbing up to his left ear. He had bandages around a hand and his neck. He had stripped down to the sleeveless undershirt and sports leggings. Unf. 

“Nice,” Danny said appreciatively.

“Is he dead?” Robin asked, sotto voice. 

Danny shrugged. “Not more dead than he was before?” He hedged. 

“….Are there quantifiable variations of being dead?” Robin asked. 

Shit. Danny went stiff. “No, finish your milk,” he snapped. 

“I’m… not drinking any milk.” 

Danny frowned, thrown off his groove.

Right. This wasn’t the neighbor’s kid he occasionally babysat. That tactic wouldn’t work to shut down unwanted questions. Or would it?

“Go get some, the kitchen is over there.” 

Robin stood still and looked very offended. That was good enough. Danny pushed past him to check Jason over a little more closely. He noticed a cheap flip phone on the floor near where his hand was dangling. He picked it up to see a message on the screen that said “serry I canf come but I call latert”. It was unsent. He checked. It was almost directed to his phone: Jason had gotten the last digit wrong.

“Aww,” Danny said, charmed. “He tried.” He snapped the phone shut and made sure the guy was breathing and not bleeding through his bandages or anything. Danny checked the color of his fingernails for oxygen discoloration, his heart rate, his pallor. He finished and stood back with his hands on his hips. 

“Well?” Robin snapped. 

Danny shrugged. “His blood is inside? I’m not a doctor yet and it’s not like there’s any equipment here. His pulse is fine, color looks good…” He scratched the back of his head. “I think he’s just sleeping off a concussion.” 

“A concussion?” Robin’s voice went high. 

Jason groaned, head lolling.

“He’s up!” Danny hovered off the ground. “Hey, you undead?” He poked at Jay’s chest gently. 

Jay batted at his hand, poorly. It didn’t connect. “Mm not dead anymore,” he complained, face scrunched up. “Joker’s not dead either. Leave me to suffer.” 

“…Do you want Joker dead?” Danny asked. He cocked his head to the side. “I think we can hide that.” There was nothing saying that a prisoner transferred to the Infinite Realms had to be kept there alive. In fact, it might be more convenient for Walker if the guy fit his usual prisoners’ general description. 

“We can not hide that,” Robin interrupted. Party pooper.

He cut a sideways glance at the child. Hmm. “Isn’t it your bedtime?” Danny asked casually. They needed to ditch him to get anything done. 

“It’s time for breakfast,” Robin snarked. “Look outside.” 

“…Do I have to feed you?” Danny asked, alarmed by the expanding nature of responsibility. He didn’t wait for a response, because it was obvious. When you cart around a child, you have to feed them at mealtimes. What did Jay even have in this kitchen? Danny wasn’t a particularly accomplished cook. He crossed the apartment in a panic to peer around the fridge. 

12 eggs, still within date. Uh… there was some butter in the fridge as well, and milk with two days left. He shook the carton. Basically full. Um…. He opened cupboards in search of carbs. Nothing. 

“Freezer,” Robin suggested. 

Danny checked. “I didn’t know you could freeze bread.” He turned it over in his hands dubiously. “Okay… toast and eggs.” 

Thank god he didn’t have any classes today. He was going to crash so hard once he’d finished everything important.

Jason didn’t react to anything they had said or done. Danny stuck his head out of the kitchenette to squint at him. The guy was still immobile on the sofa.

“Maybe breakfast is what he needs,” Danny decided, dubious. But that was a real thing! People need food to recover. Calories might help him.

Robin perched on the counter and watched Danny with a weird intensity. “I’m just melting butter in a warm pan,” Danny told him. Maybe the kid didn’t know how to cook. “Wanna help? Put the bread in the toaster.” 

Robin didn’t move. “You’d better do it.” 

…weird. 

Danny took out two slices of frozen bread and stuck them in the toaster. “It’s easy, bro,” he said, nonplussed. “Insert, and pull this lever down.” He demonstrated. “Check the time— I’ve got it for two minutes, it probably won’t be enough but we can check on it.” 

He turned back to the fry pan. The butter was bubbling now. He cracked two eggs in. It sizzled pleasantly. 

The sound helped him think things through. How was he going to do this? Skulker might fight to keep his new guest. And Walker- Danny grimaced. Walker had never really forgiven him for that prison break thing. 

‘I might need to lean on someone else’s authority,’ Danny mused. ‘Walker respects other cops. So I should, like, get that police guy to come and ask for the paperwork directly.’

It felt like no time at all until he scraped an egg off onto a piece of toast and handed it to Robin. He put the other on a plate and made one more toast and egg for Jay. 

Robin followed him to the living room,  toast in hand. 

“Go on, eat up.” Danny shoved his own toast into his mouth in one ghastly crunch. His cheeks stuck out as he began chewing on it. Then he plopped down on the floor next to Jay and started prodding his face again. “Hey. Hey.” Poke. “Breakfast.” 

Jay groaned. He unsuccessfully tried several times to bat Danny’s hand away, but eventually gave up and clutched the open-faced sandwich. 

“Gucky,” Danny said, observing the very odd way Jason was gripping the egg directly. Yolk leaked out under his middle finger. But he ate it, though, so it was fine. 

He turned on Robin when he remembered he was there. “Can you get home by yourself?” He asked. 

Robin looked at him with his creepy white eyes. “…No.” His wrist was flashing red. Was that like, a bird message system? Was it some kind of alarm going off because he had gone out of the acceptable Robin roaming range? Robin was pretending not to notice it.

Danny groaned and let his head rest against Jason’s leg. “Fine,” he complained. “Uh. I’ll take you home, then go move the Joker, get paperwork from Walker, and come back to give it to- what’s up?” He looked up through his bangs. Jason had grabbed onto his hair. 

“Joker?” He peeled an eye open. “No…” 

“You heard the man,” chirped Robin. “He doesn’t want you to interfere with the course of justice.”

Jason, Danny discovered, still had the egg yolk in his hand. He discovered this because Jason flung it dead center on Robin’s face. 

“Ha,” Danny said. The child was a downer, what could he say? “I think he wants me to interfere with the course of justice,” he parroted snootily. Even though that wasn’t at all what was going on. 

“Dangerous,” Jason said. He peeled one bloodshot eye open. He looked terrible.

“You look awful,” said Danny. “Lie down- no, don’t get up, what are you doing?”

“I’m coming with you,” Jason grunted. He waved a hand at Robin. “And this hallucination of my childhood innocence.”

“Actually-“

“Sh.” Robin rushed to get the door open. “Support his arm, will you?” 

“You still have an egg face,” Danny told him sulkily. He picked Jason up effortlessly. He ignored the muttered:

“I can fly?” 

from his passenger. “Come in, bird, we gotta get you home before someone murders me.” Danny jangled the keys and sunk down through the floor to make a point. Robin’s shouted “hey!” was muffled through the floor. Danny snickered and settled Jason in the passenger seat.

Dp x DC idea/prompt

So we get these prompts, fics and one-shots etc: where Danny is an Enigma or dos shit that don't make sense or makes the JL extremely worried.

(TW: for those light of heart, be warned. Mentioned death and pourpousfully misswritten words as 'dye' instead of using an I. Just incase. :) )

Well what if Danny was Bff's with Death.

Like. After Danny got his powers death kept appearing to him and death is just like. Confused. Cus, this 14 year old kid is meant to be dead, but isn't. This 14 year old kids name keeps coming up for would that have passed away but then disappear moments later. And Death just doesn't understand what's happening.

(I'mma say there are multiple deaths because having one would be to much for the poor fellow. But I'mma make it so that death is the original, but as humans multiplied he took in students and taught them- and they go by names not 'death')

And Danny is just baffled as to why this weird dude wearing a spooky cliche death robe. But, oh well. He's not causing problems so Danny doesn't hate them.

And it continues like this back and forth with no communication till one day death walks up to him and is like.

"I don't get it. Are you meant to be dead, or alive? I can't figure it out and I'm just getting tired at this point..."

"I uhh.... I don't-"

"Like, I'm death. I have my usual list, and so do all my students, but your name as shown up like a gazillion times and has disappeared just as much. It don't make sense."

"... Huh? "

This leads to death and Danny just chatting and Danny mentions his half a status, and death finally understands. And he accidentally drops a bomb to Danny saying that hell be immortal so he needs to remove Danny name from the death list permanently otherwise some of his students might try to get to him.

Danny of course has an after life crisis about the info but deals with it. And death comes over to chat with Danny every once in a while.

Weeks pass. Then months. Then years. And now death and Danny are the most stereotypical best friends you can find. They'll be sat on top of Fenton works just chatting and stargazing when for no reason at all one will push the other off the roof and laugh maniacly.

Through the friendship Danny has also found out that Vlad isn't an actual half a and Danny doesn't found as she's more of a neverborn. He also fousn put that he's the 3rd ever half a to exist. However the first drove themselves to insanity then eternal rest (ghost death) and the second though they were invincible and ate blood blossoms as a challenge. You'd think they'd be smarter considering they already dies once.

Another thing Danny found out, is that death has a special list specific for would that he's meant to collect but he can't because they are somehow alive, still have a beating heart and have a soul attacked to their body. And death isn't allowed to kill. Only take the souls after they've left the physical attachment and the heart has stopped permanently. And death had given Danny access to this list.

Now with the flick of his wrist he can make a magical list of names appear out of nowhere.

Phantom at the Watchtower: y'know. Death said that they've seen almost every hero's name on their list at least 2 already. And yet you hero's somehow evaid meeting him. Like, they said they respect it, but that it's also quite annoying because it waists their time.

Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, the flash, kid flash, red hood and constantine close enough to hear all that clearly: ....

Other hero's in the cafeteria where they are only hearing bits and pieces and mentions of death: huh?

----

Phantom at the end of a mission: hey flash. Death says they want you to stop doing stupid shit and dye-ing all the time. They're getting fed up with either having to come to you to just find your alive again or that they send you to afterlife but you make your way back.

The flash: ... Im sorry what now? WHO now? HUH?!

----

Phantom in the Watchtower discussing a mission with JLD where there is a cult trying to summon death: oh come on. It's nothing like death has time for this shit. And when they're on their break their either taking a well deserved rest or chatting with their bestie. Besides that summoning spell is all wrong.

Constantine: YOU'VE MET DEATH?!?!

Superman didn't hear a single tell take stutter or indicator of a lie: ....

Batman filing thi information for later...

----

Phantom to some of the hero: hey guys, I wanted to ask if I could visit some of your cities for a short stay. I wanted to get death a cool b-day gift and I think I got sommet that'll make him laugh.

Green Arrow: o-oh? What's that?

Phantom: oh just thought I'd take death on a trip with me as I visit as I make some of your villains lives a living hell. Quite a few of your villains are on their 'meant to be dead but aren't and can't kill list' so, I know they don't want me to kill them but I can make them suffer like how they've caused my bestie constant aneurysms.

The hero's:....

Stunned Constantine: ... Besties.... He said besties... They're fuckin besties. Unbelievable... I need a drink... Pronto... Goodbye

Wonder woman: I mean. As long as you can swear there will be no unnecessary deaths.

Batman thinking of a certain someone everyone in gotham hates with a passion: might I ask, is there someone in gotham like that? And if yes, you can come whenever. I'll even helpxim sure my kids will too.

----

Phantom: Hey guys! I wanted you to meet my bestie. Death meet some of the JL members, that's-

Death: don't worry phantom, I know who they are. Its lovely to meet you. I'm currently on a Holliday today, I'm having June take over my shift because it was a last minute holiday. Oh Diana, it is a pleasure to meet you, I must say your my favourite distant relative.

Wonder woman: w-what do you mean?

Death: oh sorry, i forget people don't know. It's just I'm sorta related to every first being it every religion, because like... I'm a original being. Just one that is know in every belief.

----

Phantom popping out of invisibility: HI! We've be trying to contact you about your life's extended warranty.

Joker: *heavily jumpscares and feeling like he might die* AHHH!!!!

----

Phantom popping half his body through a wall: Hi! Did you know death evasion is just like tax evasion. The longer you wait the more the negative effects it'll cause. I mean, why prolong it. It'll happen eventually.

Ra's al Ghul: HOW DID YOU GET I HERE?!?!

----

I feel like I'd want death to be gender neutral like CW, ik it's cliche but like hear me out. Imagine death has the ever subtely changing face that makes it look like dead ppl you know, and if you don't know any then currently dying people.

I also feel like each student would've chosen their own name, and I feel like the first few would've named them selves after like the months, maybe seasons, zodiacs or just stuff like that, and the more younger ones and more unique and individual but still sometimes relates to something.

I also feel like Red hood would try be buddies with death. Or that that he'd help get death a present for b day.

And I imagine death would only celebrate their b day once every 10 or something 100 years, because every year is just too much and tedious

[ace-with--a-mace]

why is everyone dying in this damn show
