#they had originally come to provide assistance to Phantom with dealing with the rogue ghosts

That one where Valerie turns the JL against Danny has me up in arms against this chick.

Like, I have no sympathy for Valerie and so I shall project those feelings onto Danny. (Warning: I’m about to throw some headcanons in here)

Red Huntress and the Justice League are on Phantom’s tail and Danny starts yelling back at Red, asking why the hell she told the JL he was a villain. And Red Huntress starts yelling back so they have an argument, and eventually the chase slows to a stop as the Justice League watches this go down and learns the truth behind Red Huntress’s hatred of Phantom and Phantom ranting at her about his own mistreatment of every living being that was supposed to help him.

RH: You ruined my life!

DP: How was I the one to ruin your life?!?

RH: Your stupid dog cost me and my family everything!

DP: Okay ONE, Cujo is not my dog! I was trying to catch him and take him back to the Ghost Zone. Like I do for all the other ghosts!

DP: TWO, Cujo was an Axiom security guard dog that was put down because of your dad’s shiny new security system. So if anything, it’s your dad who ruined Cujo’s life!

DP: THREE, all that happened to you because of Cujo was that your dad was fired! That’s it! You’re acting like you’re some poor orphan child on the streets because your family was mauled by a ghost dog when that’s not the case!

DP, imitating RH: “Oh boo hoo! I’m Red Huntress! My daddy lost his high paying job so now I can’t live like a spoiled rich girl anymore! My rich and popular friends at school don’t want to hang out with me anymore! I have to get a job like everyone else now!”

DP: Remind me again, which one of us is the dead teenager? Which one of us no longer has the opportunity to grow up and achieve their dreams? Which one of us is automatically labeled a malicious villain and a unintelligent monster in the same breath just because of their species? Which one of us has been in the ghost hunting business longer than the other? Which one of us has to drop everything they’re doing to go stop a ghost from harassing the living day and night!?

RH: I do that you menace-

DP, cutting her off: BY CHOICE! You choose to do this, when you don’t have to! And normally, I’d commend you for that.

DP: But then you go and use it as an excuse to throw your ‘ghosts are all evil’ propaganda BS around! You’re not even doing this to save people, you do it just so you can shoot ghosts to your heart’s content. Isn’t that right, HUNTRESS?

DP, clapping his hands together: So let’s recap. A dog that was killed because of your dad accidentally got him fired when he came back for his squeaky toy, and you’re no longer rich or popular at school.

DP: In exchange, you were given a ghost hunting outfit, weapons, and a hoverboard by a corrupt fruitloop, and then again later on by a ghost, to assault as many ghosts as you want whenever you want. And it is whenever you want because you’ll ditch school or your job at the first opportunity to go ghost hunting even if I or another hunter in already on scene.

DP: Meanwhile, I am the one and only fatality that occurred because of the Fenton’s Ghost Portal opening and releasing the Dead, Deathless, and Neverborn into the land of the living. But I will never be mourned because there is no body left behind to discover and bury.

DP: Any good deed I do is automatically met with suspicion and accusations of manipulation or as a cover for some dastardly plan I apparently have.

DP: I have been framed by another ghost for kidnapping the mayor when the photos and videos taken of the incident clearly show me being the one dragged around, and the only people who get a free pass from property damage or any bad deeds they’ve done while under mind control is Superman and the Justice League apparently.

DP: I have no chance of growing up and achieving any dream I have or held because the US government labeled me and any other being that is composed of, produces, or subsides on ectoplasm as unfeeling yet malicious, unthinking yet manipulative, inhuman monsters that do not deserve rights all because of the racist and biased ‘research’ provided by the Fenton matriarch and patriarch, that not even their own children believe in by the way.

DP: But no, your right Red. It was definitely your life that was ruined.

I need more dpxdc crossovers making use of the way technically, Valerie is Amity Park’s hero. Phantom is the menace running around destroying shit with other ghosts, and Valerie is the vigilante who’s dedicated herself to stopping them.

It can go a few ways- a post-reconciliation fic where Danny and Valerie have moved past their rivalry and now they buds. bros. besties. run around and corral ghosts together. the Justice League is working off of way outdated info and they think Valerie is still the sole hero of Amity, fighting off Phantom and other ghosts as they try to take over the Living Realms. They try to interfere with a fight to help Valerie against Danny until they both stop like "dude why are you interfering in our spar, we're busy here, go away" and continue trying to knock each other into the ground.

Or they approach Phantom, thinking he’s the hero and not knowing anything about Valerie, until she shows up and attacks Danny, yelling about how he ruined her life. and now the JL think Phantom lied to them about being a hero and they’re on Valerie’s side helping her hunt down Danny, who is 10x more stressed than he was that morning before the Fucking Justice League started hunting him down trying to capture him while Valerie tells them all about how evil ghosts and Danny are, with help from the Fentons

Or Danny is an established JL member, and the JL doesn’t really know much about Amity or that Valerie exists at all, until they’re facing a relatively big ghost problem and Danny's like “alright we’re calling in the calvary”. The JL expects another ghost, like the clone Phantom apparently has that he brought to work one day, and then some woman shows up, punches Phantom in the arm for never calling her, and then the pair wreck ghostly shit together while everyone watches in awe

Or the reverse, where Valerie is an established JL member or at least auxiliary member, and she’s their on-call ghost expert. Until one day there’s a question she doesn’t have the answer to and she’s like “alright one sec let me call my friend Danny”, and an hour later a ghost flies through the wall, hugs her, yells something excited about SPACE!!! and helps them with whatever problem the JL is having. Everyone is like “hey i thought you hated ghosts?” and Valerie just goes “yeah, but this guy is cool.”

Or the JL approaches Valerie in Amity Park and she introduces herself as Amity Park’s sole ghost-fighting hero, don’t ask what happened to the last guy. Everybody fully assumes she was dating “the last guy” and he was killed by the ghosts, and she took his mantle to get justice. Turns out, no, “the last guy” is Danny and he’s no longer the Amity Park hero because now he’s the ghost king, and he’s in charge of the fuckers now. Nobody ever clarifies that no, Danny and Valerie were not a couple who fought ghosts together until Danny was killed by a ghost, forever warping his personality and forcing him into the position of Ghost King. Because you’re not supposed to ask about it.

There's so much you can do with it, I have so many thoughts

After this event does Valerie get put demoted in a sense, that what she told the JL was just biased,racist,xenophobic viewpoint of a sentient species that they force her out, and maybe have grovel at Phantom, the unsung, blamed for everything hero?

#I have strong opinions on Valerie’s behavior

#almost none of them are good

#I also have many opinion on Cujo’s reason for being a ghost dog in the first place

#also not good

#the JL is just standing there awkwardly as they listen to the full story between these two

#and realizing they messed up badly

#they had originally come to provide assistance to Phantom with dealing with the rogue ghosts

#but lost sight of that when Valerie convinced them that Phantom was evil

#when the argument is over they try to offer their help once more but Danny turns them down and tells them to leave

#he doesn’t want any help from anyone who would turn on and attack him so quickly just because a human came along

#and accused him of being a bad guy

#they made their point that they would take the word of a human over a ghost very clearly

#that kind of bias and racism is not wanted nor needed in Amity Park

#it already has enough people with that mindset there already

I'll just add that it is a little unfair to blame Valerie's dad for Cujo's death, because--at least as far as we know--he would have had no idea that the dogs would be outright killed, rather than adopted out.

But otherwise, yeah, Valerie is definitely taking her anger out on the wrong target.
