#the JL decided not to doubt Danny's word anymore

[zealouswitchwerewolf]

DP AU where the box ghost is actually someone from the future that came back as a ghost to try and warn Danny before all the major battles. The problem is that ghosts are mostly ruled by emotions and since he isn't directly connected to all the battles as they happened, his memories get fuzzy at best so whenever he warns Danny, it's either because there's about to be a world ending event or because someone's cat got stuck on a tree (and anything in between)

So when Danny joins the JL as Phantom they ask him about his rogue gallery. He tells them all about the ancients he fought and skulker and the GIW, even his parents, though he only says they were mad scientists with a huge bias.

And then, after he tells them about the "plasmius incident" they ask whether he thinks Vlad is the one that's caused him most trouble and Danny goes quiet for a bit and looks thoughtful for way too long before saying in a quiet voice "no, that's actually the box ghost. He's always warning me about something. It's terrifying"

The JL are concerned. What could be worse than all the Eldritch terrors Danny has described? They try to ask for details but whenever they bring the topic, Danny gets this lost stare and goes silent until they change the topic or snap him out of it. It's kind of unsettling. So they leave it be. Even Batman doesn't push it (he would rather not traumatize the kid more, thank you very much, he's also wondering if he can adopt someone that's technically dead, asking for a friend).

And then the box ghost shows up at the watchtower. They all come running when they hear the ominous "Beware". Batman activates all the alerts. Boxy just throws a box at him, then leaves. Batman calls for a meeting, most of the heroes were already in the watchtower anyway, he describes the incident to phantom.

Danny: ah, that was just his way of saying hi. I guess he wants to start haunting you too. Should be fun :)

Batman: hn

The JL: ?!?

Danny: Don't worry, I'll ask him to be nicer next time :)

Flash: was that... Supposed to be terrifying? He just threw a box, right?

Danny: 🤷🏻‍♀️

#next time boxy showed up was eight before a darkseid attack#the JL decided not to doubt Danny's word anymore#Danny being the chaos goblin he really is definitely won't take advantage of it later#since the JL lowkey mocked Danny the box ghost has decided to troll them all and just randomly shows up to steal their boxes#like he still screams beware and all but he isn't even expecting anything to happen anymore#with Danny he'd go about 80-20 on showing up for actual emergencies#with the JL it's closer to 40-60 with the higher number being on DrAmA#Danny's just there for the chaos#he's just happy Boxy has more people to haunt and less time to turn him into an anxious mess#danny phantom#dc x dp#dpxdc#eldritch danny#dcxdp#bruce wayne's adoption problems#Batman#the flash#i probably should go to sleep
