*After talking that bombshell out*

Batman clears his throat. "Your highness, If you don't mind can I ask you something in private?"

Danny blinks out of his dazed questionnaire with some of the space traveling heroes. "Oh? Yeah sure, of course Mr. Batman sir!"

Clark reaches over long enough to give Bruce a reassuring squeeze on his shoulder, already knowing what his friend was thinking.

Batman nods and leads King Phantom to his private office and sits in a chair. Phantom politely glances around while Bruce gathers himself. Normally, Bruce wouldn't actively seek someone else's advice when he can look into things himself, especially someone he literaly JUST met over an hour ago. But he didn't have many sources to seek out answers either.

"Is it common for people to come back from the dead?" the question froze Phantom. Curious. it seemed to have triggered him on a personal level.

"W-why do you ask? I mean if you're wanting to bring someone back I dont think I-"

"No it's not that."

"..."

"...My son. My second oldest. He was dead for a number of months before suddenly coming home. Alive, and very angry.."

"...Red Hood right? I mean, I've heard rumors about him. There are quite a few fans of his in the Realms, avenging a lot of them. He's pretty much a Protection Spirit in his own right."

Well that was surprising news to Batman. "Yes.. He.. wasn't happy with me at first.. He's still kind of mad, but we've gotten better."

"I'm not sure why you think I can help with that??"

"No, sorry I'm not-" Bruce sighs, why was he going so off topic with this? Probably just the lingeing fears.

"I discovered the acts and the GIW because, they captured him.. We were unaware of the.. changes due to his revival. He's still recovering."

"Oh.." Phantom looks far too sympathetic for someone he hasnt met. The ghost rubs his palm for a moment, hands curling close to his chest, almost in a defensive posture.

"Humanly, we arent finding anything wrong aside from the obvious wounds. But there is something impeding healing the process. And we arent sure how to treat the more ectoplasmic side of his health. Is there anyway you would be able to help him?"

Phantom gazed at Batman for a long moment. "From what I've heard, you arent a man to easily trust strangers, especially ones with the potential to be major threats. There was once a time someone used your plans to nearly take out the enitire Justice League. Your own friends. May I ask why you have such plans?"

"Power is.. easily misused.. Especially against baseline humans. I seen how fear can lead to.. abusive situations. In my city alone I have several rogues who use methods of psychological warfare to control people, I've seen alternate timelines where my friends or even myself has fallen from the morals we hold in this time. The plans I have vary from restraint until they come to their senses, or in the worst case senario.. something more permanent.. But in this instance I am out of options, our magic users aren't particularly specialized in medical practices other than surface level treatment. My child is in danger. And if it's for my children I'm willing to do anything."

He expected the young looking man to glare at his opinion, like most of the league did. They didn't understand his paranoia, too set in their current self to imagine such downfalls..

But Phantom, he smiles "I can understand that to a point. I was tested once, thrown into a timeline where my loved ones were taken before their time... In my grief I made some.. Poor decisions.. ended up fused with someone I've disliked for a long time. The being that came from that was made of pain and anger, and destroyed most of the world.." Phantom's gaze turned distant. "His timeline dosen't exist anymore, but he lived on outside of it due to being locked away. He has a second chance now, a new family to bond with. A new reason to keep going.."

Batman was surprised the king was willing to share that much, but then again Bruce isnt normally this open to strangers either, but it is for Jason's sake.

"I'll be honest with you Batman, I'm still fairly new to Rule, fairly new to being dead. And I'm still learning all the in's and outs of what I am or am not allowed to do with my powers. Including cultural niceties."

Bruce felt his chest tighten.

"But! I do happen to know a very good doctor who has experience in treating patents who are still partially alive."

He had to reel in his hopes HARD, wary. Constantine always cautions that interactions with the Other come at a price. "And If you could get them to help, what would you ask in return?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"You've already taken care of the biggest problem we were fretting over. Also you're placing a lot of trust in me to help even though I have done nothing to earn it. Besides."

Phantom lowers himself to stand on the ground, bright lights pass over him changing his colors and clothes. Before him stands a typical human teenager in comfortable Star Wars printed sleep pants and a well loved NASA hoodie. Breathing, alive.

"I understand what its like to tread both worlds yet know nothing about them. Seems like most ghosts that form have like an instinctual instruction manual that I didn't get. And they gave me a lot of trouble for it. It'd be nice to talk to someone who understands. If it's alright with you, maybe he could like, join some of the classes Gram-my mentor gives me about the realms if he's still curious? The rest of your family could come too if they want, Gramps loves to teach." Phantom chuckles softly, almost shyly.

Batman dosen't try to hide his smile this time. "I think he would love that."

Imagine if the GIW started gunning for Jason without the Batfam ever meeting Phantom. Like, Bruce has to figure out on his own that the guys in white suits with Lazarus guns are 1. a legitimate government agency, and 2. are perfectly within their rights to hunt Jason like an animal, because 3. there's secret government legislation that says that since Jason's body processes ectaplasm, he's classified as non-sapient and has no legal protections.

Bruce calling up Clark like

Bruce: I am currently in the process of breaking into a government facility in order to dismantle their operations.

Clark: Okay? Do you need... help?

Bruce: Yes.

Clark: Sure, I'll be right there.

Bruce: Not that kind of help. Oracle is sending you the files now. I'd like you and Ms. Lane to make these people wish they were never born.

Clark: [speed-reading the documents] Oh yeah, can do. This is truly disgusting. If the public is half as outraged as I am, we'll get this sorted as fast as the courts can manage.

So Clark Kent acts as a whistle-blower, the Justice League publicly condems the Anti-Ecto Acts as inhumane, the GIW is disbanded, and Batman gets pardoned for all of those crimes that he technically did by assaulting federal agents. And after all that gets sorted, some white haired kid pops up in the Watchtower like "haha thanks for that I really didn't want a war between Earth and the Infinite Realms" and the League are like "wait what"

[silverheartlugia2000]

oooh Alfie really likes his little helper, and unlike the science first magic second bats, he knows not to offend the new tenant. what if when trying to leave the fentons he lost his voice maybe? he can still make core sounds and wail, he just cant make human words anymore. which is sad cause he can't sass anyone. but he starts taking a page from clockwork and leaves notes for Alfie when he comes back to wash his plates, it starts out small just saying thanks and the food was good. he actualy learns how to cook by watching alfie, which is a big leap from only take out or zombie hotdogs. Maybe he gets up enough courage to request learning how to make or shop for something specific cause it's something he really loved to eat. Alfie would start writing back or talking out loud while he works.

Oh! better idea! anyone remember those alphabet magnets for the fridge? alfie buys a pack to try and get Danny to interact with him more, one day he walks in and sees "Dami like cheese?" with his cookbook open to lazagna or something. no meat just sauce and cheese (personaly i love italian food but hate meat sauce cause of texture issues) cause damian isn't sam, he might allow for some things she didnt and he wanted to be sure?

Danny was enjoying himself. His new haunt was suprisingly spacious and came with lots of charges who needed protection and care.

The old butler guy, Alfred, seemed to at least have an idea of what was going on. He had been making extra food lately and leaving it out for Danny to eat in a secluded area. Danny always made sure to turn the plate invisible and sneak it back to his hidden passage panic room before he started eating.

In return, Danny made sure to do lots of chores around the manor. Intangibility and wind manipulation made dusting super easy if you knew how to use it right.

Danny also took his job as a guardian spirit seriously. He overheard the bats fighting about not wanting to be coddled on patrol and decided it was best to let them handle themselves outside of the manor. Danny himself hated when people stuck thier noses into his business.

Jazz had screwed him over countless times with her good intentions.

But the manor was different. This was his new haunt after his old one kicked him out. This family had invited him in whether they knew it or not. Also, since the Fentons and GIW don't exist in this world, they'd have a hell of a time kicking him out.

It's best not to let it come to that. So Danny had to make these people love him the way Amity Park never did.

The Wayne's however are rather dense. You would think them being the worlds greatest detectives would mean something, but they kept silently blaming each other for things happening around the manor until they couldn't.

A book being put away when they were done with it or their messes being cleaned up when they came back into a room could be easily explained by how many people lived there. The family entering the dining room, discussing what they were going to order for dinner since Alfred was gone for a week only to find a full meal waiting for them on the diner table? They couldn't brush that off.

None of them could cook.

[silverheartlugia2000]

The reason Danny had to take Magic Man with him was complicated. First, he was very stressed, can you blame him? Second the Justice League was hovering nearby and due to past conflicts Danny did not feel safe explaining his reasons with them around because what if they made it worse?? He'd already finished searching here anyway so it wouldn't be a bad Idea to retreat to safer spaces. And third, Danny keens as he wills his Gate to take them to Grampa, (who would just redirect him if he didn't want to deal/let Danny interact with the Magic Man, the guy was genuinely the first one to actually offer to help). Third, he literally can't explain himself right now if he wanted to...

"Welcome back Daniel. And I see you've brought a guest. John Constantine if I'm not mistaken?" Danny croons, placing his catch gently on the floor and floating over to the plate Grampa held out full of yummy snacks for his hungry hungry core and curls up against him.

"And may I ask who I am speaking to?" Magic Man, John, was scared shitless. Danny could taste it. But he had a good poker face, good for him.

"I am known by many names. Father time, Kronos, among others. But you may call me Clockwork."

Oh now Mr. Johns face matched his emotions.

"Ah.. I'm not.. Forgive the intrusion, I uh didn't mean to-"

"You're not in trouble. And it is not yet Time for your debts to be collected."

Mr. John seemed to relax at that. He glanced at Danny then back to Grampa.

"You'll have to forgive my grandson. He brought you here because you offered to help with his search yes? Daniel was injured recently, and that combined with the current growth spurt he's experiencing in his powers, has rendered him non-verbal until he's able to stabilize back into a consistent form."

Grampa waves Mr. John over to the couch in front of his Viewing Clocks, setting Danny's plate on the coffee table so he could have his hands free to find the one he needed. Danny settles on the floor, giving Mr. John some space while he continues his meal. He knows he dosen't look the best right now, no use scaring the man more.

Grampa comes back with a Viewing Clock in tow, Danny keens as the face of it shows him and Dani touring Metropolis just months ago. His Little Wandering Star was so so excited to show off some of her favorite places to him, enjoying the vacation while he was given time off to settle into the Boost gained from being officially Titled as The King of Balance.

"Now." Grampa says turning back to Mr. John. "How familiar are you with one Amanda Waller?"

I want Constantine to bitch slap amanda waller

So an unknown magical entity has been attacking and demolishing government labs and servers

There doesn't seem to be any connection between the attacks so the JL are confused

At first, they send in superman, but he can only get out that he works for the JL before the creature attacks him. He woke up 1 week later in Kansas, in civilian clothing and with a black eye

The worst part is he can't describe it in detail, the creature's form is constantly shifting and changing, one moment it was nothing more than a clump of limbs and organs the next it looked like a shadow brought to the 4D world, and the next it looks like a teenage boy, even his abilities can't get a proper read on it

So they keep sending JL members to try and deal with it while the creature just shows up, destroys the government building, and disappears

Eventually, they talk to Constantine about it and he comes to the conclusion that the entity for whatever reason sees the JL as its enemy when superman asked what it was john told them he's never seen something like this but its powerful, ancient and pissed off

so john (after promises of booze, repaid debts and a lot of favours) agrees to meet the creature and find out what it wants

What no one was expecting was for the creature to take Constantine with it when it disappeared

2 weeks later john shows up in a government meeting looking pissed

Before he can be questioned he struts up to amanda waller and slaps her out of her seat

:YOU PHYCO! BECAUSE OF YOUR FUCKING IDIOCY WE MIGHT HAVE A FUCKING WAR WITH THE INFINET REALMS!

After that, he steals her access card, teleports to the highest security facility and breaks something out

When the JL get there they see john profusely apologising

The creature was there in a much more...visible form holding a child...wearing clothing with experment numbers

(In responce to the comments)

While understanding his concern, Alfred will still be somewhat miffed that Clark just ripped the poor guy's privacy away like that by dragging him over by the collar. Clearly the poor man is traumatized by it, and finding out his co worker is actually Superman who brought him to be scrutinized under a microscope by Batman was not doing any good for young Danny's nerves but he was well enough to still function at work and Lois informed them that he has been compliant in taking low strain tasks in accordance to his doctor's note so there was no reason to fly off with the boy without talking to him first.

Clark was majorly concerned about the new intern that started last week. His heartbeat was so painfully slow that often Clark had to focus in on his breathing to make sure he was still alive. Clark was so worried for the boy, he ended up using his x-ray vision to check on his heart. That's how he noticed the y-shaped scar on Daniel Fenton's chest.

[silverheartlugia2000]

No longer muffled and protected by ecto-proof walls, the ghosts instantly converge at the site. Several lunge at the scientist, getting knocked back by John's wards and strange weapons from the man. Others attempt to get to the boy, visibly seeping energy towards him and calling names, one in particular dressed like a cross between a mad scientist and a technician attempting to disable the cuffs.

Dc x dp idea 78

The infinite realm had gone livid. Sending ghost after ghost into the mortal realm. Seemingly in a search of something.

John and the league opt to summon the ghost king in hopes of figuring out why? Obviously having plans to seal him off if the need is there.

When they summon him they weren’t expecting what appeared to be a human teenager coming through the summoning circle.

Especially not one with glowing green cuffs. Torso with a freshly bleeding y. Nor the man in a white suit with a scalpel and suspicious green stains on the white outfit.

[silverheartlugia2000]

I'm just picturing while she's doing all this, baby danny clinging to her back, not in a sling or anything. just straight up clinging like a baby opossum, watching over her shoulder when she talks to people with glowy eyes, crawling around her hips like a squirrel, chewing on something that looks suspiciously like metal cause his fangs are sore/loose, babbling to jason about how grampa let him go see the dinosaurs last weekend (jason thinks museum up until Danny mentions how he got "eated" and gives a frighteningly detailed description of a t-rex's stomach. hes fine he phased out all on his own and found an old broken tooth for a souvenir!!)

Lady Gotham raises Danny as a single mother

Danny gets de-aged and Clockwork sends him to live with his Daughter, Lady Gotham.

You would expect Lady Gotham to look very Gothic. Like a noble lady from the 1600′s or a ghostly woman in a large veil. Maybe even just a mass of writhing shadows?

But no, Lady Gotham looks like your stereotypical Single Mother at all times, cause she always has to keep her Bat-Kids safe like the rambunctious children they are, and it’s a 24/7 job

She basically has the house-mom look, frizzy hair tied up in a ponytail, a stained apron from making dinner, always looks tired but always has time to indulge her kids games, all that

After she takes in Danny, she decides to create herself a Civilain Identity so she can raise him as both a Human and as a Ghost. And raising the future High King has it’s side effects, for example he is constantly producing excess Ectoplasm which empowers her enough to maintain a Corporeal form for much longer than she could before.

Now she can just live in her City, and actually Interact with her citizens like she never could before!

She starts helping out more, dispelling some of the more Nasty curses placed on her City and making people feel more safe than before.

She gives packed lunches to homeless kids, every day without fail, and they are always filled with that kids favorite snacks alongskde some healthy foods. None of her children are going to go hungry on her watch!

She donates to the local homeless shelters, and gives them some Good Luck charms so they experience less problems. She needs to teach her kids good morals after all!

She starts a Rooftop Garden on her apartment Building, handing out the produce to anybody who asks to borrow some. Somehow she never runs out no matter how much they ask for. It’s good manners to treat your neighbors with respect! A cup of sugar and all that!

She embodies the “Neighboorhood Mom” stereotype perfectly, just across the entire city instead.

And the Batfam don’t even notice for a few months! She isn’t doing anything big, just being a good Samaritan, and a good mom.

Then, one day, Red Hood shows up and tells everybody that he was kidnapped by a Lady who kept saying stuff like “We need to get that dirty ecto sorted out, we are long overdue for a check up!”

And now he feels perfectly fine. No more green vision, no more violent tendencies, he’s just not as angry about that anymore.

Now the Batfam are trying to find thus lady, but it’s kind of hard since all Jason could give for a description is “She looked like a Stereotypical Single Mom. That’s all I can remember about her appearance.”

[silverheartlugia2000]

What if, normally there's a bit of a delay between the death and rebirth? Cause not only is there the pain/injury from death, but his core traveling to find a spawn point, reforming, and 'birth' but using his own body cuts down the time somewhat and even though he's unconscious he instinctively rushed it because he didn't want anyone going too far out of grief for his sake plus waking up in a morgue is never fun.

The whole process is exhausting to begin with which is normally why he lets it take it's time, added on to the rush job and cracking open his own corpse like a chick in an egg? That's a lot of work! So forgive him if his brain would rather go to baby ghost mode and take a nap until he properly reboots!

Short DPXDC Prompts #387

Whenever Danny’s body dies he dissolves and rises from the nearest source of ectoplasm fully formed in a phoenix like fashion. How could this ability cause him to have interesting encounters with heroes?

[silverheartlugia2000]

I love all the reblog additions but brain said i have GOT to put some meat into the starting point so..

no one has said just how long or extensive danny's recovery was yet. Jason still setting up his bases, having to look for men, does NOT have control of crime alley yet. but has tapped into the bat system just to know where everyone is at any given time and catch up on what all he missed, hears about this weird rouge and pings that while the dude is VERY effecient at somehow loosing the bats, the tech he has is worrying, its what he's stealing thats suspicious.. thats enough food to feed an army, and the medical stuff is mostly bandages, anti biotics and a shit ton of pain killers... and how this dude with the same body type is trying to set up connections in the alley? yeah he tails the guy home after he's done convincing a few people to let him fix their ac. pins it for later and waits for him to leave again.

The security was.. odd. Effective for sure, but also cobbled together from miss matching parts and only half finished in some places.

First thing he notices is the place is COLD like the guy did great work on the ac units but this was see your breath chilled. there are coats around that fit the guys size, as well as the bright orange suit that earned the guy his name.

Jason starts checking the rooms. Finding partialy built things, some he couldnt guess, some seemed like costomer orders from the notes he found next to them. in the kitchen he finds some sort of air filter that is collecting suspicious green stuff. but its.. its not lazurus water. he can SEE it collecting from nothing but air it LOOKS similar but it dosent give him the same feeling. infact it makes him feel hungry which is weird?? he'd look into that later..

Then? ohoo then Jason finds the bedroom. He sees all the stolen med supplies strewn about, a cup and plate that are distinctly different from the ones found in the kitchen sitting on the night stand. The contents of which smell very VERY tempting to him. a tv thats playing some documentery J'onn featured in talking about his home.

And a kid, lying very still in the bed.

a kid that wasn't breathing.

A dead kid.

Just as Jason starts to think this is some Dr freeze situation the kid whimpers. the kid mumbles and thrashes tossing the blankets off enough so jason can see his torso absolutely mummified with red tinted bandages, those.. those should probably get changed..? Those look kind of old? the guy wasnt due back for a few hours yet.. jason cant just leave the kid there..

Especially when he starts begging his mom 'to please just stop please'. yeah jason is going to stay, he's going to get the full story, but first he's going to get the kid cleaned up.

By the time the guy gets back, the kid is in new bandages, and the actual wound was.. not plesant to see.. He was surprised to find no stitches. but considering that the kid's blood sometimes flickered to the same color as the weird collection goo? He'd admit leaving it be till he has more info. same with why its kept so cold in here when the kid is kinda clammy feeling. (Danny actually has a pretty bad fever, it just seems like below average to an outsider)

Jason is very calm even with a gun pointed at his head with the demand to 'step away from my son' with what he heard the kid say in his sleep? its understandable that the guy would be a bit protective.

Jason complies waiting outside doorway patiently while the guy checks over the kid. Who Jason finally has a name for. The guy wakes him up, the kid, Danny, is clearly still out of it not even noticing jason while the guy convinces him to eat the lunch left on the plate, that he needs the Ecto, was that the collection goo?

then Jason gets thrown through a loop when danny says, "Dad..? is someone here..?"

"Whatcha mean danno?"

"My ghost sense. I feel someone.. i dont know them but they feel safe..? they want to help..? theres a lot of anger but they're also lost in a way..?"

the guy pauses for a second. "I'll check the traps Danny boy, just sit here and rest ok?"

"Ok dad.. but you'll get me if they cause trouble..?"

"Of course baby. Hey look there's a marathon of that sci fi show you love on tonight!"

"This is manipulation and you know it.."

"True. But you did say it helps right? and how many times have you used that trick on me behind my back?"

Danny grumbles but settles back under the covers.

The guy kisses Danny's hair and closes the door halfway. looks at jason and scruffs him like a kitten to carry into his work room (sound proofed after learning how much the noise bothers danny) for a talk.

Jason for his part is mostly shocked the guy picked him up so easily. only snapping out of it when some device is waved in his direction and the guy frowns at whatever its showing.

"Soo... what happened to him? I heard some things while he was sleeping. I could help. but i need the full story."

the guy sighs, and flops in a chair that creeks dangerously from the weight.

"Well if what these readings are telling me are right. And Danny's instincts are reacting to you and not someone else. I guess you should know just in case.."

Jason keeps his posture casual and non threatening. Even more invested as his own vibes are somehow involved now?

"My wife and I spent years researching ghosts, trying to catch them, study them, hunt for them.. But our theories.. they were so wrong.. I didn't realize, didn't WANT to realize any different. We thought ghosts were nothing more than after images imprinting on Ectoplasm. Non sentient, non feeling imitations of people. who existed purely to manipulate and destroy whatever they wanted. not caring about the concequinces."

"......that contradicts itself in so many ways Tangerine... I just.. How?"

"Oh trust me I've gotten the lectures about it.. i understand that now. Anyway, Danny my baby boy, he... he had an accedent in the lab.. we had tried to make a portal into the ghost zone and it just, it didn't work. But Danny was showing it to his friends one day and the power for the whole city block fizzled out and when we came home the portal was working and danny had been rushed to the hospital for electrical trauma..."

Jason has a bad feeling about where this is going...

"but then actual ghosts started showing up along with with one in particular that would always fight with them then disapear and we were so convinced that he was the one starting the fights and catching him would put a stop to things. But I was blind.. Phantom was just trying to protect his haunt, he was helping, he helped me a few times even. And Danny, had been growing so distant from us. we thought he was just going through a rebelious phase ya know?"

Jason has a VERY bad feeling now. this was checking so many familiar boxes.

"Danny finally came up to us one day and said that he was Phantom, that the accedent had killed him, but he came back too. He's stuck in between, the ghosts named him a Halfa. I felt so bad.."

the guy was crying now. oh crap this hit too close to home.

"And my wife, my ex wife now she, she didn't see it the way I did- she just- and I had to get him out get him safe."

"Ok I get it, calm down. if you're hiding out though why are you trying so hard with the neighbors? also you need to stitch the kid up he's not gonna heal like that.."

"Because I need to know if she or the GIW get close, and the best way to do that is establishing roots! Look, I'm not asking for details, Danny said its a triggering topic which is completely understandable, but for you to have these readings means you need to be on guard too. And im trying to help danny i really am. but Im in no way trained for this. Ive tried stitching him up, I do needle point as a hobby but i look at him and just freeze up.."

"It's different when its a person.. I.. I might know a guy for that.." jason sighs, he was going to talk to him eventually but with this news? he needs to move up some plans, and they'd be happy to run interference for him till he's ready..

--

The next day hood is back with what seems to be a kidnapped butler. even though Alfred seems perfectly calm after being dragged into a car with the mysterious red hood. it took all of five minutes for him to tag along willingly. jason is sort of suspicious he hasn't hit his panic button.

Hood has introduced himself to Danny and he sits next to the bed while Alfie preps for treatment and listens to the guy, Jack, who is going through his notes on what Danny has told him about ghosts.

Apparently they needed to use some specially formulated fishing line instead of medical thread, incase Danny phases them out on accedent. the tv show was actually helping. something about emotional stimulation from feeding obsessions. Danny cuts in explaining more on that, how it was a ghosts reason for staying. what kept them existing. Like a special intrest that actually tied to their wellbeing. it was frowned upon to interfere with those and thats why danny had so much trouble at home. but he just didn't know, not until someone talked to him about it. once the others realized that he was a baby defending his haunt, and didn't even know what a haunt was. they eased up and tried to be better at explaining things first.

"You're trying to build a haunt right?" Danny asks hood. "I can kinda feel it. but you havent been here for a while so the connection is weak."

"I.. grew up here yeah. but its been a while.. though that does explain the weird 'walking over my grave' sensation i get sometimes..."

"As much as I would like to know more about your new wellfare needs, lets wait and discuss this more after we patch up your new friend, yes master Jason?"

"I don- you just- *sigh* you never cease to amaze me Alfie.."

"You may have grown a fair bit since your death but you can never fool me when it comes to family. And we will be having a talk about the runaround youve been giving your father."

"Hes got another robin! he didn't learn!"

"And you have no context for the reasons why. You will sit in this house and watch over your friend when I return to make dinner. And once patrol starts I will be coming back and we will have that discussion. but for now you can assist me by holding down Danny if we find out the anesthetic doesn't work."

"Yes Alfred..."

DP X DC Prompt #45

Gotham has a new rouge. Except he only steals food and medical supplies in great quantities.

(Jack takes Danny and runs to Gotham after a Reveal gone Wrong where Maddie tries to kill Danny)

[silverheartlugia2000]

I love this addition thank you~

DP x DC Ancient of Space: Lair

I’ve seen Danny being the ancient of space pop up a few times. A lot of it interprets that as the ancient of outer space, but I propose he has dominion pver the concept of physical space. Clockwork has time, Danny would have space, making them the counterparts for each other

So, imagine if you will, Danny only recently coming into his spatial powers retreating to his lair in the Ghost Zone. It’s too dangerous to have uncontrolled spatial distortions just randomly appearing in the human world. 

His lair is an extension of himself. His spatial powers extend not just to himself, but to his lair. It connects to liminal spaces. Walking through school hallways after hours? One of those doors leads to his lair. All night diner with flickering florescent lights and you’re the only customer? Carefull going to the bathroom or you might just end up somewhere else. Closed down building, or even buildings that never were there. Sometimes at just the right time, places just exsist, and they all lead to Danny’s lair. Inside is an MC Escher esque labyrinth of rooms, hallways, tunnels, ever shifting as their connections to the human world alter and shift.

Enter the Batfam

I pick Tim for this. He sees a building he’s never seen before on a street he’s very familiar with. He checks the address. 

“Hey Oracle? Is there a 147 Becker street?”

“No, Becker street stops at 144 before merging into Roosevelt.”

“That’s what I thought, but I’m there, I see it right in front of me.”

“What?”

Tim is too curious for his own good, and probably a bit sleep deprived. He enters the building only to get turned around and not be able to find where he came in from. It wouldn’t be so concerning if the building didn’t seem to go on and on. 

Next thing we know, Danny finds Red Robin wandering around, completely lost in his lair. The tricky part is getting him out around the right area and time, because space and time are connected, and when one is weird, so is the other. They need to take the scenic route, much to the impatience of Red Robin. He eventually gets him close enough: Bloodhaven. Tim can always get a ride back from Dick, then he looks at his watch. 

It’s only been 30 minutes. He had been wandering for hours, yet only 30 minutes had passed. 

Que confusion and shenanigans when somehow, yet more Bats wander into Danny’s lair

[silverheartlugia2000]

Clockwork forbid he gets more ideas after playing zelda. normal chickens? managable. teaming up with technus and pulling cuccos into his army? He's lord of birdageddon!!

Ghost chirps au but instead of the cute little bird songs and peeps it’s just-

“CAW”

Like a giant crow or flock of crows if there’s more than one ghost. Danny being able to gather all of Gotham’s crows, as a giant army because he sounds like them.

Crows: Who tf are you

Danny: CAW

Crows: Say less homie

He’s named every last one of them and has trained them all to pick locks and steal. He’s respected by the crows because he’s the only one with dexterous hands. If they can’t open something they call in the big guns (AKA Danny) Like imagine being a Gothamite and watching a enormous flock of crows seemingly summoning a scrawny child out nowhere to unlock a dumpster? Like they’re crowding around him like he’s the messiah, a god even and they all just squawk in unison when the kid pulls out a bobby pin and picks the padlock. They’re dropping, coins, bottle caps, earrings, bullet shells, anything vaguely shiny and the occasional paper money into his hands.

The kid has a necklace of soda tabs and bottle cap earrings. He also just walks around collecting beer bottles and later sells little glass statues that have a bioluminescent glow (HC that Danny can melt and shape glass with weaker ecto blasts) Glowing glass jewelry is weaved into his hair that is seemingly a identity confirmation for the crows.

Nobody knows the kids name he just showed up one day with his massive army of crows and started to wander. After around a month of the kid wandering around without a care in the world and not dying the locals decide “Huh, I guess crow prince is here to stay,” Like, they accept him as a local cryptid.

Like “Yeah, crow king just kind of vibes but if you give him food, he’ll bash in a pedophiles kneecaps,”

Shit goes down When Danny discovers his chirps can also sound like geese.

Oh my stars this continuation was amazing!

I hope you have more in store but if not thanks for the addition!!!

Danny lands at the feet of his cloning template, and in a desperate bid to not get murdered by said template, he gave a wry smile before saying, "HI, dad." He then used the moment of stunned silence to escape.

A week later, he regrets his decision as he walks down the stairs to find his template in his living room, interrogating his tied up parents.

Diana makes sure to warn Connie ahead of time. Just so he dosen't have as big a heart attack at the sudden appearance of Danny's massive aura and panic-banish him somewhere on accident. Danny can find his way home eventually sure, but the man tends to react very poorly when meeting new entities. Especially when they surprise him with silly pranks.

I would love for there to be more Wonder Woman and Danny Phantom crossovers. So in the I am putting an idea out there.

-You have Pandora and Clockwork (Kronos/Cronos) who I see acting as Danny's ghost parents if not mentors. The are educating Danny (who is either the Ghost king or will become the ghost king) in history of the Infinte Realms, the politics of the Infinte Realms, teaching about all the beings (besides ghosts) that deal with the Infinte Realms (gods, demons, angels, spirits, ect.). Basically they are educating him on the ghostly sides of things.

-But they can't really help him with his human side, supernatural politics/diplomacy has a lot more fighting/violence. So they need someone to teach/mentor him on human/mortal diplomacy. Enter in Diana both Pandora and Clockwork know her and she is really the only person in the mortal realm they would trust with Danny

-Diana as a princess was raised to be a ruler and she is the ambassador of Themyscira, valuable experience to help teach Danny. Pandora and Clockwork contact Diana to ask for her help.

-Danny at this point has retired as a hero (the ghost have mostly settle down by now) and is focusing on school and his ghost king duties. I see him going to college and double majoring in Engineering and Political Science (Jazz convinced him)

-Danny probably lives with Diana and goes to school in the city she lives in to make it easier on getting lessons (maybe the DC universe is a different universe then his own).

-Diana knows about his past experience as a hero and no the Justice League has no idea what is going on. Though she does inform Clark and Bruce that she has taken on a student/ward but that he is not a hero. Bruce is suspicious but can't find anything on Danny (making him even more paranoid).

-Diana is a great Aunt figure for Danny

Both diana and Danny say the most concerning things

The JL are wondering how they thought diana was normal before danny because the shit she says is so out of pocket

The second someone asks about Danny's parents she goes feral and starts insulting the person who asked

Sometimes she's seen tinkering with something and whenever someone works up the nerve to ask he what it is she says "Fenton anti-creep stick, I'm planning to use it. On the more disrespectful of me routes"

And you can't tell me Diana wouldn't get Danny to help mess with the JL '" to test your infiltration skills" " I must be sure the security system is up to standards" " no I'm not that petty"

And Danny loves it

He causes chaos with his aunt everywhere and the paranoid furry can't do anything because aunty Diana is going to protect him

I mean yes he didn't KILL the guy but Bats is still kinda worried.

"How did you get up from getting shot point blank in the face?!"

Danny sighs "Alright I'm only telling you this cause you work with Hood and despite his reluctance to admit it he trusts you. Also you are signed as family/emergency contact in his records so I'm legally obliged to inform you of his status when asked. I'm an undead, death adjacent, whatever you want to call it. Before you bug me about knowing how he is too. He comes in from time to time, I clocked him right off. It's an instinct, we can recognize one of our own. And I help him with the undead side of his health that you aren't equipped for. Poor kid didn't even know anything about that.. Not that I blame him. Didn't get a lot of info myself until after a few years, everyone just assumed I did know already.."

Batman.exe has stopped working. "Hood.. was sick..?"

"Oh yeah, those mood swings he was having? He was hangry something fierce! You've seen Ghostbusters right? Ectoplasm is a real thing, and us dead or dead adjacent need to feed on a pure source once and a while to stabilize us. He kept re-eating what he had from the Lazarus pits i think he called it? that reminds me i still need to call someone to look into that.. Anyway whatever he got from that was pretty much the equivalent of raw chicken left to mold, while dunked into some of the worst e coli ridden fermented juices you can find. Actually I don't know if even thats a big enough analogy.. Point is it was toxic. On anyone else it should have filtered out eventually but being an undead its part of his biology now. And having no fresh source nearby or even knowing he had too kinda didn't leave a lot of choice."

The people of Gotham could do nothing but watch in horror as the Joker killed Dr. Fenton on live TV. The doctor had moved to Gotham a little over a year ago and quickly made a name for himself by setting up clinics and shelters in the seedier parts of the city. Many had warned him of the dangers, of the criminals that would potentially target him but he didn't listen. He continued his work and soon wormed his way into the hearts of many. That's why he made a great target for the Crown Prince of Crime. Because his death would be absolutely devastating.

And it was, until someone pointed out that the good doctor seemed to be twitching behind the Joker as his gloated to the camera. That twitching soon because full on squirming and the citizens could only watch in shocked curiosity as Dr. Fenton eventually twisted out of his restraints. Then he bent down to pick up a metal pipe lying on the ground and crept towards the Joker. Understandably, many were terrified. Why wasn't the doctor using this chance to get away? People began screaming at the screens for him to escape but he just got closer. Finally he was right behind his captor and brought the pipe over his head. In one fell swoop he brought the pipe down with a satisfying crack that all could hear.

"I usually keep pretty strictly to my hippocratic oath," Dr. Fenton said. "But for you, I'm willing to make an exception."

He then proceeded to drag the Joker out of frame by the collar. The live feed ended soon after. Later, when the police arrived. Dr. Fenton was found causally sitting on some steps outside the warehouse. As they got closer, they realized the steps were actually the Joker, alive albeit barely.

I'm sorry but as soon as i read KNIFE STELETOS AND NAILS THAT STAB My brain just imediately turns to one design in particular. may i introduce Mr stabby boots himself, Arsene, main persona of the persona 5 protag!

look at this demon thief boy!!! look at those boots!! heres a close up i found of a model kit!

idk i just, really really like this guys design~ he's so cool ~~~ the only problem is probably the tips dulling but danny could like hover just barely touching on the floor? cause no way he's keeping balance in these babies otherwise the toes dont even touch the ground X3

Danny Fenton, a new receptionist at Wayne Enterprises:

Vicky Vale, knowing Danny Is Not Ready for her: So, where does Bruce Wayne leave for during his meetings? A new woman? Man? Trouble in the family?

Danny "Town Menace Phantom" Fenton, done with Genderbent Wes Weston: To fuck your mom.

Bruce's experienced receptionist that left for 6 seconds: okay, Danny no--

Danny, who knows something's up with the Wayne family: and your Dad, because we support the LGBTQIA community. Thank you and leave.

i feel like at some point Bruce finally gets the hint that something supernatural is involved and tries to call John. Tries being the word because while he is apparently notoriously hard to get a hold of he also is actively avoiding him at this point.

Connie already knows about the Phantom gang, mostly through the grapevine of both his own contacts and Deadmans gossip circle, he's met the kid a few times on apocalypse prevention jobs because the kids guardian (kronos? Wtf kid are you a halfblood or something??) knew he needed help. The kid was strong and capable, just inexperienced in wider magic, not very good at fine control, and very incompatable against fire and lightning.

He has tried to help with the bigger problem but being a known magician and legally British makes it very hard without going through the UN. Plus he actually does have a pretty heavy workload that keeps him teleporting from place to place believe it or not bruce.

Marvel could be an option, but the kid already has a lot on his shoulders while pretending to be an adult, he can be a good median for the magic community at least.

He did consider going to bats at one point, then once he heard the kids have been put under apprenticeship by a dead Bird that's throwing the whole colony into a tizzy? Yeah he switched to Diana instead. Not only did she have clout as an ambassador, she can also act as a proxy for her uncle Hadies on the dead front.

Poor Hadies gets biggoted by the media and their fear of death and unknown, he's absolutely thrilled that his niece is interested in little Phantoms case. You didn't hear it from him but he's actually next in line for high king of all afterlives, I've only got jurisdiction over so much you see. your grandfather doesn't want to tell him yet, let him enjoy his youth before being shackled by paperwork, we've been pretty self sufficient since the last one was empeached, we can handle a few more centuries.

Clockpa brings him to important meetings as a 'guest' using 'quizzes' to make him pay at least a little attention, The ADHD does not help things.

DPxDC idea: The Batarang Incident kills Jason and he returns as an Infinite Realms ghost.

Humans are not inclined towards surviving incidents like having their throats cut or being in an explosion that brings down a building on them. One after the other, with no rescue or medical attention? Jason died again in that confrontation with Batman and the Joker. He returns as a Ghost of the Infinite Realms.

For one reason or another, perhaps he forms right away right next to his corpse, perhaps Batman never looks for his body, Jason is able to return to being the Red Hood without much trouble. Sure he covers every inch of skin and uses a voice changer, but he did that before, it's nothing new. If he's a bit more paranoid about it, well chalk it up to his father having stuck a batarang in his neck the last time he removed his helmet.

Jason is just glad that his suit covers up the glow. Because he does that now. Glow. All the time. Compared to the glowing? Inhuman changes of colouration are just window dressing. Getting a hang of his new powers took a couple of weeks, but the timing was convenient - people might have expected him to be out of the game for months with the injuries he should have had.

So Jason's ghost now. It's fine. When he asked his father Batman to choose between killing him or letting him kill the Joker, he can't say this was an outcome he expected. But it's fine. Everything is fine.

(It's not fine.)

Dash let's himself have a nice long internal scream before dialing a number he never thought he'd need to use again.

"Do you want to tell me how the Teen Titans got a hold of your Ecto? cause it's sitting on my desk right now waiting for hematology analysis.."

"....How do you even know it's mine? It could be any other ghosts! Also why would you think I know anything about this??"

"Retired or not you are the only dumb ass in the Realms that would try and protect baby heroes long enough to get cut. Plus I don't know if you've noticed but the whole school has seen enough of your blood smeared around in ghost fights to memorize the 'royal vibe' it gives off.."

"......I honestly did not know that was a thing. Wow, shit now senior year makes so much sense.."

Short DPXDC Prompts #1002

Dash has been working with STAR labs for 3 years now. His coworkers are lovely, the pay is great, and he loves what he does and everything is perfect. Until Dash’s boss gets a message from the Teen Titans that they have a blood sample of an unknown alien they’d like to be studied to hopefully find any potential information about them. Dash thinks nothing of it. He’s had multiple encounters with various hero organizations and has done the best he can at every request given. The blood sample arrives. Dash’s heart turns to ice. He hoped he would leave Amity Park behind for good. But before his very eyes in a container with a note next to it that says “Run tests to see Lazarus Water similarities”, is a vial of ectoplasm.
