There’s an alien. AN ALIEN! ON EARTH! Okay, calm yourself Danny. You need to greet them, help them familiarize with the planet if they aren’t. Ask them if they need help getting back to their planet if they need it. 

He was giddy with excitement. Danny prepared with his notebook, full of questions he would ask aliens if he ever meets one (he made it when he was really small but kept adding to it as he grew up), takes a deep breath before teleporting to where the alien could be.

And once he gets there, he immediately drops his fanboying. There is no distress. There is no confusion. There isn’t any fear or apprehension over being anywhere new. 

Instead, Danny focused on two transparent beings behind them - an adult and a child. The child had their arms wrapped around the alien’s middle, concern written all over their face.

The adult ghost alien only stood at an arm’s distance, hands folded together, but their mouth pursed together in worry. 

More and more transparent beings seemed to appear behind the alien, all the same people as them.

And their thoughts melded together as one, different pitches saying the same phrase even without their mouths moving, “Please help him.”

Right now, Danny isn’t Danny. He is The Ghost King. Lifting his right hand, he places it over his chest. And he releases his thoughts of promise-safety-home. Soft light glows over the ghosts, and the people behind the alien disappears. Then the one who is most likely the alien’s spouse smiles and fades with the light as well. 

The child lingers a bit more, still wrapping themselves around their parent, unwilling to let go.

Danny smiles. Stay, he conveys. Watch. They will be okay.

The child nods, but never lets go.

That’s alright.

Danny looks to the alien and decides it’s time to drop his transparency towards the living. The notebook is completely forgotten, thrown back to his room via portal. He appears before the alien, and with a smile and thoughts that are hopefully welcoming, he crosses his arms and floats casually in the air. “Hey,” he greets, “haven’t seen you around.”

Dr. Saul Erdel (Dude who brought Martian Manhunter to Earth. Died almost instantly after he saw Manhunter), tells the Ghost King of a strange alien that he managed to bring to earth. Danny needs to meet this alien.
