love fics where Danny ends up in the DC universe & every alarm goes off at once & the magic users are like "yeah that's the most powerful being in the universe & also possibly super evil we are FUCKED fucked" & the Justice League is freaking tf out trying to find this thing that casually tore a hole in reality & it just cuts to Danny (Fenton) standing in the background blissfully unaware & like "man my life sucks but at least i have this candy bar—" *drops it in a puddle*

I built and painted this classy 67 Camaro and just so happens that I also did all the patina painting on this service station remodel. The owner of the Camaro didn’t know this at the time. Hoff

The Nine Houses are obviously deliberately technologically limited. Aside from having FTL capable spaceships, the most advanced piece of technology that we see in the Houses is "an electric transmitter box, with headphones and a mic." It's not clear entirely what sort of device this is, but it apparently requires you to stick an antenna out the window.

On New Rho, Cam has a beeping, and therefore presumably digital watch. Nona has to remind her that's it's called a "watch", and not the House term, "clockwork", which rather suggests House timepieces are analog.

There's a projector box embedded in the BoE conference table, which loads an image like dial up internet because they are "using shortwave" - presumably shortwave radio, which can transmit pictures. As We Suffer apologises for the slowness of the image loading because of shortwave, that suggests that other methods of transmitting an image do exist, but that for whatever reason they're not using those. Perhaps they do normally have something akin to the internet, but this is down due to the conditions on New Rho, or being avoided due to House or inter-cell monitoring.

The audio of Juno Zeta's proof of life is on "a little piece of electronics, a fingernail-shaped thing with prongs", which sounds like some kind of drive.

We also see We Suffer in the impromptu command centre in the tunnels with "a headpiece and a flip-top computer", presumably being used for some kind of communicatons or planning.

And of course, there's Cam and Pal's recorder, which from the descriptions of it making squeaks and garbled noises sounds rather like it might contain a cassette tape.

A paramilitary group on a beseiged planet may not be the best evidence for the level of technology outside of the Houses, but if it is in any way indicative, non-House society doesn't seem to have non-space travel technology beyond things that would have been available in the early 00s.

You know, back in the day, this was the one day you kept your children inside.

I need Billy to dress up for Halloween. Captain Marvel too.

Captain’s the only one who shows up to the missions on Halloween in costume and everyone just stares at them.

( Superman: Captain it’s good you’re here, we really need you here right now, the invaders seem to have an ungodly amount of— what are you wearing?

Captain Marvel: It’s my Halloween costume! Can you guess what I am? Superman (off guard): Oh uhm, tiger?

Captain Marvel: Yup, good guess! Say, why am I the only one dressed up?

League: . . . )

The whole Leagues there in regular clothes and Captains just in costume, tiger onesie and all.

It would be so funny when this 6 to 7 feet tall (depends on how Cap’s feeling that day), muscular man in a cute orange tiger onesie and face paint, starts knocking out villains.

it would be even funnier if they used magic trickery too because it was Halloween. Like a lightning bolt strikes them and drains the villains youth making them old, or they start coughing out candy.

Billy dressed up as a tiger too probably, he hesitated because it might be suspicious for him and Captain to be in the same costume — but his only other affordable option was Peter Pan and that one just made him sad.

Trick and Treat

Inktober Days 15 & 16 - Demon and Angel

[satoshy12]

Prank the White House

Vlad had problems as mayor of Amity Park,"Ghost attacks" don't count as villain attacks, so the repair wasn't paid.

Vlad had a genius idea for using Danny for it. But Danny complained that it would make people think that Phantom was a villain, so Vlad had to fix it.

He turned Danny into a toddler. Now who would declare him a villain? Without looking like the villain themselves!

+

But while older Danny would works for money, toddler Danny didn't work that way.

Jazz, while hugging her baby brother, looked at Vlad and said, " Money doesn't work with toddler Danny. You should have thought it through fully."

Vlad: "I will pay you candy for all your life."

Danny:" Deal!"

+

That was how Danny started to haunt the White House and Senate for candy and make sure that Vlad was able to get money from the ghost attacks.

After all, it's a ghost!

+

As the Justice League was called to capture the Meta toddler, it ended badly, as Batman lost his Batman candy as the toddler just took the candy and left. Saying if he does it more, he will get more candy.

So, the new plan is to find the contractor, as the toddler wouldn't cause that much chaos. Just making the politicians go crazy. And that isn't really a crime.

++

In the end

They chose to allow him to stay with them, while the toddler was a time bomb.But one they were unwilling to get rid of when he first showcased his power to make a shield that stopped a whole attack from Brainiac and his army as he tried to attack them.

Brainiac was now the living meme of "Let Me In!"

The new plan is:"Give him candy, let him play BUT FIND OUT WHO GAVE HIM THE CONTRACT TO HAUNT THEM! "

++

Vlad thinks his plan failed.

And with Jazz's help he did bring Danny back. He will have a new plan.

+

That was how Meta the toddler was missing from the White House as a vampire kidnapped him.
