They need to imply it was the GIWs fault !!!!
So we all know of Dan's whole planetary annihilation in the past leading to heroes from the future showing up to stop him, right?
Well I'm gonna take that and tweak it a bit.
Time Traveling Hero goes back in time, sees Dan talking to a ghost informing him that the High Queen has finally allowed him back into the Royal Castle and he says "Can't wait." With a nasty smile.
Dan had lost his temper a few months ago, and mom the twerp had told him he had to go outside and think about what he did. But now, he was finally being let back in. And he had a few ideas on how to mess with him in retaliation for being reverse-grounded.
Obviously this is about Damian but look at me and tell me sleep deprived Tim wouldnt shove the lollipop into his mouth crutch it up and dry swallow in panic …. Which leads Danny to give him another lollipop!
It starts with the usual 'Justice League has to summon the Ghost King to battle a world-ending threat.' Stick. They decided to do it in the Fortress of Solitude, which took some time to convince Clark to do, but it was the only place that had the possibility to hold the Ghost King if he went off the rocks, especially with all the added protection John did.
So, most of the Justice Leaguers and their sidekicks stood on the outskirts of the giant summoning circle and watched as it glowed a bright luminescent green, and the middle of the circle disappeared, replaced by a hole that, from Superman's place as he hovered a few feet above the ground, looked like a never-ending waterfall of green liquid.
A few minutes passed as everyone held their breath before the waterfall started moving up. Like a volcano, the luminescent liquid shot up and hit the ceiling, falling into drops around everyone. From the water, a shadowy figure appeared, giant and making the water glow brighter with their presence.
For a few seconds after the glowing fountain continued erupting until stopping suddenly and falling back into the hole, a giant eldritch figure revealed as the hole closed up under it.
It looked sort of humanoid, but the most eye-catching thing was its skin. It looked like the galaxy—stars and constellations, planets, and meteors—the being looked like it was made from the galaxy. The stars and planets spun across its skin? And atop his head were wispy white locks, not held down by gravity and flowing with the air in the confined space. On his back was a long cape that reached the floor, and he (it? She? Did gods have a gender, because this being looked more like a god than Zeus did) bent his legs at an angle to not bump his head against the ice roof.
Everyone watched with bated breath as the king, the being, the god reached inside his cape and seemingly grabbed something, coming out with a clenched fist and slowly moving it towards the youngest Robin, the child. Batman barely had any time to swoop in front of his son when the eldritch being opened his hand, and right there, in his palm.
A lollipop.
A green crystal lollipop that made superman fall from his place in the sky and Jon back away from his friend with a pained expression.
The ghost king just gave robin a freaking kryptonite lollipop.
Meanwhile, danny is just wondering why the child touched by death won't take the treat.
Okay but if they see Danny’s eyes flash green the idea pops into thier head that ras brought back Ace and the kid???
Jason growing guilt thinking they might have been a “test batch”
“Hand over the dog.” Gotham’s reputation for crime and many flavors of strange preceded it, but Danny did not anticipate being robbed at sword point for a dog. Granted, a green, glowing dog does attract some attention, but this was a city with rampaging clowns and toxic sludge. Cujo wriggled excitedly in his arms, tightening the leash wrapped around Danny’s wrist. “This dog?” Danny freed his other hand to point at Cujo emphatically, cartoonishly looking around the deserted alleyway as if the sword swinging child might have been mistaken. “Are you sure? You can have my wallet, it has 15 cents and a Bat Burger punch card, only one more visit for a free side!” “Don’t be absurd.” “Yeah, I heard you used to get a free combo. Punch cards aren’t what they used to be.” The edge of the blade pressed into Danny’s throat, Cujo jumped down and Danny raised his hands placatingly, keeping the leash out of reach of the would-be petnapper. “I’m afraid I can’t do that, what kind of person would let someone take their dog?” The kid’s face softened slightly at that, and Danny took the opportunity to swat the sword away, scoop up Cujo, and run. “STOP!” Danny kept running. Faintly, he heard the click of a device, but no one pursued him. It was a good thing too. He lied about the punch card.
Cujo was Ace the Bathound. Need I say more???
Okay but this could spiral so fucking fast like just Jason thinking he lost his memories of his boyfriend? Husband? What are we?!?!
Danny is the type of guy gal ghost to Commit To a Bit. This is very common knowledge
But he may have overdone it this time.
---
Dan and Ellie had met the Red Hood, who seemed yucky. Ellie said this herself. Jason was not amused, and did not appreciate them following him around for the rest of the week.
After a bout of panic, Danny had finally tracked the tykes down. After seeing who they were with, he sighed. Of course those two would. Well he could play at that game.
Danny had popped in and pecked him on both sides of the helmet, leaving a casual lie before legging it.
"Hey hun, thanks for watching the kids. I'll take it from here."
---
It's been a month now, and somehow he has two kids with a notorious crime boss and goes on nightly dates with him.
Pure lesbian gay solidarity
"Hi, remember me? Yeah, we fought that World Ending Threat together. Shared Witty One Liners. You were hilarious and VERY Heroic, so was I, it was awesome. And, uhh... *awkward cough* It's a Concept?" *jazz hands*
"Meaning?"
"....I'm pregnant."
Like? Full on Lunch Box, gonna pop out of his body already a toddler, "I'm technically just carrying around a second core and the only physical sign it's happening is I am SUPER hungry and Hella tired", Super Heroics Weirdness Baby? A literal love child with Justice(tm).
But also one of the Bats.
Look, no one GAVE HIM the "you are a Protective Spirit, you gotta be careful who you Protect People With, lest you Vibe too hard and CREATE LIFE" talk! He didn't know that was A THING!
And he's not even mad? Inconvenienced? Yeah. Spooked. Absolutely. But, like? He already HAS a daughter? Dani. And he has literally his entire Rouge Gallery and all his Allies to help raise this lil menace. It's also not like it's gonna HURT. It's just... like someone handed him a chimpanzee and walked off. But worse because it's not a chimpanzee, its A CHILD.
He's kinda still buffering.
So... Now he's here to either set up a Co-parenting thing, threaten you for child support money, or too avenge himself upon you should this be some weird baby-trapping plot. Okay, now, does he or does he NOT... need to burn your house down?
Talk fast.
@hdgnj @babbling-babull @nerdpoe @lolottes @the-witchhunter @hypewinter @ailithnight @mutable-manifestation
Okay but what about everyone going along the m-preg thing because honestly from Ravens perspective?
This is exactly what her mother did!!! How could Tim do this? Is this baby going to turn up just like her? Not on their watch!!!!
What if when Tim went off to look for Batman when he was lost in time he bumped into Phantom.
They made a Deal
Phantom knowing CW helped him find Bruce and how to get him back safely, Phantom in return for reasons (hurt badly & recovering, or evolving in power) needed someone very ecto-contaminated (Ra's fault) like Tim, to be contained in.
From a magic user point of view, knowing very little of the GZ and how they work, Tim made a very powerful Deal with a powerful death being (High Ghost King Phantom: Hello!) and is now somehow pregnant (not really but they don't know that)
Danny while inside Tim inside his core can still hear the world outside normally and can share his emotions with Tim to communicate. Which looks a lot like Tim is speaking to his belly just like expecting parents do.
This could be angst or crack
or
my personal favourite, different genres for different pov's
Tim's would be happy, just regular getting his life back together being a total BAMF, coming of age type of vibe
The rest of the Batfam and other heroes pov would be angst, paranormal, psychological horror.
Misunderstandings galore
Dick regretting heavily his decisions which caused Tim to run away because he did not believe him and he has many Regrets.
Bruce feeling guilty that Tim felt the need to make such a decision as to make a Deal and end up pregnant just to bring him back.
Meanwhile the magic users have told the other heroes about Tim's situation and now think that he's going to give birth to the child of a very powerful death being and if something happens to Tim to risk the baby it would cause all of their worlds destruction.
so pretty much-
Tim-Girl Boss, Gatekeep, Gaslight
Batfam- Much Angst
Others- *panicked chicken noises*

Just an Idea
Well if you insist!
Do it do it do it!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanna read it!!!!!!!!!!!
Whatever you write will be consumed with fondness! So hurry up and write it already!!!!!!!
Danny's halfa status gets discovered by his parents and they go full trigger-happy on him. He barely manages to escape, but he is severly wounded still. He's sixteen.
Dani (or Elle or however you wanna call her) finds him by chance (oh nononono Clockwork had nothing to do with this, wink wink) and yoinks him up to bring him somewhere safe. She's a little distracted, so she doesn't notice when she runs -or, well, flies- into a house. Literally. (nop definitely not Clocky's fault)
John Constantine nearly has a heart attack when two fucking ectoplasmic ghosts, the most solid, most radioactive, strongest, most destructive fucking ghosts crash through his window and land right in front of him. For some reason, the House of Mistery hasn't even cursed them despite being uninvited. He's like "welp, guess I'll die, but I ain't going down without a fight" until Dani starts crying and begging for him to help her brother. Then he's panicking because holy fuck these are kids, there's a bleeding dead child in his house.
Then Dani de-transforms and Danny's trandformation breaks as he falls unconcious and holy fuck now there's two very alive kids who used to be dead like, a minute ago and fucking shit that's a lot of blood.
So Constantine patches Danny up and Dani tells them they've got nowhere to go. She's a clone with noo family except for Danny and, well, his parents are the ones that almost make him go from half-dead to fully dead. On a whim, John decides fuck it and lets them stay at his house however long they need to. The House of Mistery is really fucking big after all nd it's already full of monsters and shit, what's two more ghosts to haunt it?
So they spend time together. Shennanigans ensue and a pranking war or two happen at some point. Those fuckers cause him so much trouble he's sure if he hadn't tricked his way into inmortaality he would be getting gray hairs.
Then, at some point, the ghost siblings do something that's incredibly fucking stupid like open up a book of spells constantine hadn't taught them yet and going ballistic through the house, chasing monsters and playing with literal fire. He fixes whatever nonsense situation they'd gotten themselves in (since when was he the one to fix other people's problems?) and scolds them for being dumb and irresponsible when he hits that oh in italics moment and realizes oh shit, I'm a father now.
He scoops them both up in an embrace and tells them thay could have gotten hurt and they both go oh shit, we have a father now.
Basically their dinamic doesn't change, except Dani and Danny call him dad sometimes. They talk about life and death and dying when he finds out they don't have a grave, not even a cenotaph!
The Phantom duo hadn't really thought it was that important. Sure, they were half-dead, but not all the way, why would they need a grave? They didn't even have a body to bury!
But their dad, with his magic, makes them each a gravestone anyway. He puts their names in it, on Danny's he puts his date of birth and death when he was 14, and on Dani's he puts the day she was created and the day she fell through his window.
"Why that day?" she asks. "I was already dead then."
"You were born dead. The dates on a grave are to mark a person's journey and tell their tale. I put the day yoour journey started, and the day it enden, when you came here to rest."
And that was that. He put their graves on the house's prettiest spot on the garden. He placed flowers and lit up candles on them. He put protections on them so nothing would be able to harm them.
Danny and Dani felt lighter, as if a weight they didn't know they carried suddently lifted. Their bodies filled with warmth and love everytime their dad left flowers on their cenotaphs or they left them for each other. They were thankfull for them now.
Meanwhile, the JL and the JL Dark were both getting worried. Sure, Constantine was always sectretive and distant, but this was already excessive. He barely picked any calls, and when he did he barely talked and sounded incredibly tired (Dani and Danny's fault). When they had a meeting, he looked like death warmed over. Tired, disheveled and depressed (damn he missed the little shits, he couldn't wait until the meeting was over to get back home) and he always got a longing look every time he saw one of them with their protegés (he really misses his kids, damn he's got it bad for them). This has been going on for a few months and he's only getting worse.
So they ask to go visit him. Y'know, to go check on him. Just to see if he was okay. Constantine's annoyed but his kids convince him to let his friends visit him. They don't want to be seen by them (they're kinda scared of strangers) but they think their dad should hang out with his co-workers. It's not healthy to be cooped up in the house, even they get visits from Sam and Tucker!
So the JLD came to the House of Mistery. They were just catching up a bit when some magic fuckery happens and somehow they end up on the gardens outside the house (which is really just some grass and wildflowers John calls a garden). Constantine tells them to stay there untill he comes back from fixing whatever the fuck that was.
Of course, they don't stand still. They go fuck arround the "garden" while they wait for him to get back, and they come across two tombstones. Their blood runs cold when they read the names.
Daniel and Danielle Constantine.
Daniel had been dead for two years, but he was only fourteen. Danielle had been born a month or two after Daniel had, so whoever their mother was had been already pregnant when Daniel died. The girl, just two years old, had died very recently. She died just when Constantine had started to act strange.
Their friend was grieving his kids. Fuck, they didn't even know John was a father! Where was the mother? Was he married? Why didn't he tell them? Was the mother dead? Why wasn't she burried there, then? Had she left? Was their friend grieving alone?
They got back to where their companion told them to wait in. Now they understood why he didn't want them snooping arround. They decided to help their friend however they could.
Misunderstandings happen.
Well where is it?!??!!!! Where is the story?!!!!!
Okay but that just happening over and over to all of the batfamily like why are we all seeing the same black hair blue eyed child??!?!
Someone had managed to sneak up on him, immediately after a fight.
Damian, exhausted and wounded and ever so slightly drugged by fear toxin, reacted.
He'd spun around and run his katana through the attacker-but it wasn't an attacker. It was a civilian, who was staring down at the sword in his chest with a stunned expression.
The civilian looked up, blue eyes meeting Damian's through the mask.
"I was just..." The man trails off, dropping the first-aid kid he'd been carrying.
Damian knows his time as Robin is over.
Danny, on the other hand, can already feel his healing factor trying to kick in, and just needs to figure out how to convince Robin to remove the Katana so it can work without letting Batman know he's a meta.
The nana in question needs to be Sams Grandma!!!

Omg I love that!!! So much especially since marvel could considered older for whatever reason (Demi god? Different growth rates? Being around since Justice society ?) but still being relatively young just
Teenage mom captain marvel !!!!
Captain Marvel, new Den-Mother (despite the fact he himself is a child even if the league isn’t aware of that fact) for the Young Justice team blinks. Klarion, so-called chaos lord, blinks back in the middle of a spell.
He tilts his head. The other baby realms-being mirrors him. His own magic-fueled core pulses, and a chaos-core vibrates back. Oh. Ah. So that’s what’s happening.
“They can’t play right now,” he explains to the barely-younger ancient-in-training, ignoring the team’s incredulous looks at his words with the practice of someone who had to deal with the voices of gods all the time. And Batman’s narrowing eyes. Scary.
The chaos-core thrums in a distinct pouting-sensation, alongside a whine unique to young ghostlings. A whine that he replied with, even if only they could hear. Come play later, busy now, he insisted again, even if Klarion’s pouting was turning visible before it shifted to a scowl.
“Fiiine…” And then the chaosling was gone, his familiar with him. Billy really wished he could join in disappearing, seeing the info-hungry look in the others’ eyes.
Redeemed Vlad shows up to give help Danny or just give him his lunch.
Danny: oh hey Vlad! Did Jazz send you!
Vlad: you know I am capable of making decisions on my own
Danny: not very good ones fruitloop
- - -
Hal: look look! And tell me there ain’t some ghost vampire family!
Bruce: who’s Jazz?
Vlad: his sister
Danny: my mom
Halfas look at each other and shrug
JL: oooookkkkayyyy then
Hal (holy shit another vampire ghost): oh so is she you know … like the two of you?
Danny: nah she’s a redhead I’d be a little hard for her to come back as a ghost
Wally flashbacking to all those “redheads don’t have souls” jokes in his childhood: wHaT????
Vlad looking at Danny’s hidden shit eating grin: you know what I’m just gonna leave
Danny rarely eats around the Justice league, usually eats before his shift or afterwards. One day during an Luthor emergency Danny is forced to head in early without breakfast which makes him more irritable, he phases Lex right out of his mech suit and rips the kryptonite right out of his grasp.
Flash zips up to Danny as Batman cuff Luthor and asks if he's feeling alright, Danny grumbles that he is starving and that he missed breakfast before eating the Kryptonite right in front of the Justice League. To say they are shocked is an understatement, unfortunately Danny excuses himself before they can get an explanation.
Later when working with the Bats they are caught in an investigation of the League of Assassins, forced to engage they inadvertently discover a new Lazarus pit and Danny immediately disengages with the assassins as he flies to the pit with a shriek of excitement. Before Batman can stop him, Batman along with a whole room of assassins are struck dumb by as Danny leans over the pit and starts DRINKING IT.
Batman is struggling to find a connection between the Lazarus pits and Kryptonite as he is updating Danny's profile at the Watchtower. Not a lot is known about Danny's species, most of the knowledge is kept to the Ecto-entities themselves and even more so after the Anti-ecto acts.(even thought they have been repealed)
He steps away from the profile closing down the Watchtower computer to get more info from the source. He finds Danny in the gym with a Green Lantern in a mock battle, Lantern constructs seem to be the only thing the Justice League has to combat Danny's phasing ability which is both frustrating and relieving to know, standing to the side he watches Danny get grabbed by a hand shaped construct of Green Lantern energy.
Danny struggles for a bit before grabbing the construct by his teeth and TAKING A BITE OUT OF IT! Danny pauses along with the Green Lantern, both shocked but for different reasons, Danny lights up exclaiming "That's good!?" before ravenously going after the construct as Green Lantern shrieks and recalls the construct, only to get tackled by Danny who demands more.
Flash cackles "You should have known this would happen! Phantom can eat anything green and glowing!"
Batman freezes, that can't be it, but as he considers that facts he finds they re the only variables that all three things have in common…
Danny eats the color green.
Danny just sings all the corpse bride songs that do not exist in dc and freak his soulmate out lol
Prompt
Soulmate au where, in the dp universe, you hear your soulmate sing, while in the dc verse, soulmates have matching tattoos that glow when the other person is dying/hurt, and keeps glowing after they die. Danny doesn’t ever hear any singing, so he figured he just didn’t have one, and doesn’t notice the mark on his thigh . Unbeknownst to him, his soulmate (insert dc character) is getting more and more nervous about their soulmate, who they could hear singing for some reason, who keeps on dying!!!!!
Lex was having a perfectly good day until his … son barged in with his shenanigans.
Kon: I need a favor
Lex, finally a bonding opportunity: whatever you need
Kon: I need you to marry this dude
Lex:… I beg your pardon
Kon: … it’ll make Clark really mad
Lex: ….. go on….
Kon: okay! So his name is Vlad Masters and ….
Lex rubbing his bald head in annoyance: who?
Kon without breaking a sweat and glancing at Tim behind him in the window: Vlad masters!!! The guy that’s been trying to get into your pants for months!
Lex: be more specific ?
Kon: uh, grey hair, kinda tall, has that punk son
Lex rubbing his temples thinking of a way out of this
Kon: he curses in desserts uh
Lex stilled… oh… him… he was… memories of the cute man sloshed into the billionaires head. Well it’s not that he hadn’t thought about it before… Conner coughed into his fist. Lex looked up to his sons knowing expression and all he could think was… oh shit.
Vlad was having a good day, a fine day.
Finally having put his obsession with Maddie to rest, nothing at Vladco big enough to need his immediate attention, and no Jack Fenton or Jack Fenton like situation to end his peace.
He was sat down at his table, eating the cupcakes he baked earlier with a new recipe and some tea.
It was a good day
Something was going to ruin this. So, he sent out a clone, sent it to one of his cupboards, took out one of his bigger teacups, went to his fridge, poured in some mango juice, took an extra plate, and came right back to the table Vlad was setting at.
It dutifully took a few cupcakes and put it onto the extra plate, placed said plate at the other end of the table and gently rested the teacup down beside it and pulled the chair just enough for another to sit down and returned to the original.
Now he waits.
"VLAD!"
Ah, there it was.
The Jack Fenton like situation that would ruin his day.
Just like his father, the boy for some reason lost his ability to use the very there door and instead busts through the wall right beside said door.
But it wasn't anything he couldn't fix.
He brought the highly expensive and his favorite teacup to his lips, content to enjoy the last dregs of peace he can before the boy opens his mouth-
"VLAD I NEED YOU TO SLEEP WITH SOMEONE!"
Vlad choked.
A few minutes later, after a series of coughs and heaving, he stares at his godson with the most incredulous face he could muster. The brat, being Jack's son, instead of giving him further context decides to eat the cupcakes he made without even asking him.
Barbarians, honestly.
He cleared his throat before the boy could snatch another one of his delicate treats. "Explain yourself, Daniel."
"Hm? Oh, right." Danny swallowed, petting his chest before swiping up a teacup (That was filled with mango juice instead of tea, that Vlad, as an ever-accommodating host, laid out for him a few moments before his arrival.) and taking a giant gulp. Danny then sighed. "I need you to sleep with someone, basically."
"I will need further explanation, if your feeble brain cannot understand that fact," Vlad took a slow sip of his tea, eyes closed and playing every part of the refined high-society member he's crafted for himself over the years. "Then I can and will direct you to the door."
Vlad then glanced at his broken wall. "And for the love of all that is holy, please remember that they exist for a reason."
"Yea yea whatever." Danny waved his off, taking up another cupcake and chewing on it. "Riht so a ned yoz ta-"
"Try again, this time without your mouth full so that I may understand you Daniel."
As Danny swallowed, Vlad took another sip of his tea.
"Right so I need you to sleep with Lex Luthor."
And promptly spat it all out onto both his table and his unfortunate, innocent little cupcakes (Danny managed to move his away from the blast) and doubled over into a coughing fit.
Do it!!!! I believe in you !!! Go for it !!!!
Danny tucker and sam are board in their new Gotham apartment so with nothing to do they deside the most logical course of action
They reenacted the song say my name from beetlejuice the musical now they didn't really mean any harm just casual theatre teen fun
Too bad the bats only see a girl about to jump and 3 spectres offering help (one possibly a demon trying to get the girl to invoke his name 3 times)
Captain marvels strange little family
Chapter 3
Deep deep deeeeeeep breath. In and out. “Okay,” Billy finally managed to sigh out, “Let me get this straight.” In and out. In and out. “You’re an ex-villain who cloned a /teenage/ hero who is now king of another dimension.” Breath. “For whatever reason this clone YOURE goddaughter is destabilizing!
A-g-a-i-n And your first idea was to build an underground lair in our house to find a cure?” In and out. “I got that so far. Nod if i got that so far.” Breath. “And and and all three of you are /half/ dead. Making you a half ghost called a halfa is that all?”
Vlad stopped his nodding to glance off to the side, “Thats the majority of it yes but well…”
In and out Billy reminded himself to breathe, it cant possibly be that bad.
“Well technically theres four of us.”
Okay that not that bad-
“He’s my… son …from the future…..”
A series of banging sounds could be heard from upstairs as well as shattering glass from assumably their nice plates and the voice of a man spouting expletives. Breath in.
“And he’s coming to stay with us….” Vlad chuckled humorously, “Surprise???”
The breathing exercises are suddenly not enough.
- - -
Dan looks like them. This… stranger looks like them. Except Dans not the stranger here Billy is. And it would be enough to make Billy uneasy, to make him run off instead of being a burden. But despite Vlads loving placating demeanor, Dan sits on the couch body turned towards the window in distaste. A clear dismissive sign if he’s ever seen one in his years in foster homes, and how many years has it been? Three ? Twelve? Twenty? Wait. What?
Right, Dan clearly didn’t want to be here. Vlad by comparison looked as if they had gone back to the beginning of their arrangement. The beginning of their fights and beginning of their little awkward family. Of introducing him to Freddy and Darla. Of it just being the two of them. The inside of Billy’s mouth twisted, this was Vlad’s actual son and something told him those days were coming to a close. But if the way Dad turned to look for his approval as he set down a tray of pastries like he did every Saturday was any indication… then maybe Billy’s optimism wouldn’t be misplaced this time around.
Billy sipped his tea glancing at the halfas way as Dan outright growled at the plate of bread in front of him. Mocking Vlad’s baking skills, hurling taunts at the older mans head. Don’t. Don’t. Don’t take the bait.
Hook
Line
Sinker
Because of course Vlad had to say something back. Huhhhh in and out. Yeah Billy was probably not misplacing his trust this time around and eventually they might seven make a pretty good family. But…
Crash!
“That was a vintage piece!”
“Yeah and so are you old man!!”
A tart flew across the kids vision as the ghosties in the room began to float mid argument.
….But for now they still had a long way to go.
Then they figure out it was one huge misunderstanding and kiss 😈
There is one person that Vlad hates more than Jack, and that is Lex Luthor! They once worked together, but Lex betrayed Vlad and stole the blue print for his own suit and the way he got print for the Energy Reactor. To mind-control him doesn't work, as Lex found a way around it. So he won't get the suit or weapons back. He would still send Ghost a few times to destroy his things, but that was it. This Gala was in Arrow City, but it gave him ideas.
+ For Lex, someone he hates more than even the Alien Superman is Vlad Masters! It took Lex a bit to find out he was controlled, and then a short time to find a way around it. At least it helped as Brainiac tried to mind control him, he looked at the invitation of Oliver Queen Gala.
It was time to meet him again after 10 years.
Constantine: I can help keep the big bad tough ghost away from you!
Danny: …bad ghosts???
Constantine: yeah like who ever gave you those nasty bruises there kiddo
Danny, ghost culture kicking in and just having babysat Youngblood with ember: are you … are you threatening to take my friends away!!!!!
JL: …. Wtf John!
DP X DC PROMPT BECAUSE FUCK SLEEPING I DON’T NEED OXYGEN
It’s a hard summoning. A horrible summoning. The very worst Constantine’s ever been part of, he was expecting a rough ride with an entity of this power but surely this is excessive?
The Ghost King has been known to accept deals for centuries, and yeah the terms are shit but the world is full on ending and the Justice League are out of better options
When the magic lashes out and takes Doctor Fate to his knees, he begins to doubt what they’re doing
Is this really the better option? Really? Sure, Pariah will take the souls of all their enemies into his army for conquest, but if it costs everyone anyway…
**
Danny wrapped arms, legs, and teeth around the telephone pole in Amity Park, growling against the pull
Of COURSE this had to happen three days after he made a joke about “being the only entity John Constantine hasn’t tried to sell his soul to” to Clockwork
He’s not fucking losing the bet about making it to the end of the week
The sign on to Kord industries instead XD
Booster gold and Ted just being like yup robot animals that clean let me introduce you to skeets!
Danny, after his parents turned from Ghost hunting to being the first official Ghost Anthropologists, decided to repurpose some of their weapons.
And, well, there was a contest being run by Wayne Enterprises; whoever can design a robot that will help the environment got prize money and a grant.
Danny, in all his mechanical engineering prowess, was bored. So he designed a thing. Repurposed the Fenton Guns into a cute robotic tortoise that would clean the beach.
It spiraled from there, and now Fenton Works is the leading name in green technology that's cleaning up the Earth bit by bit. Sea Dragon robots that clean oil and trash from the ocean; beach tortoises that clean the sand and beach and deposit their hoard of trash into designated receptacles that Danny uses as material to make more robots; Cryptid "stalker" robots with long legs that delicately patrol forests to perform "fuel management" and clear out the underbrush to help manage wildfires; moving gargoyle robots that sit on top of skyscrapers to help clean the air with huge sail-like wings, etc.
Basically, Danny pulls a Doctor Elisabet Sobeck, but with less world ending and more actually helping. (Not that the world ending was Elisabet's fault, of course, but different franchise)
And due to the number of times aliens try to attack and rogues send their own robots to attack people, naturally Danny installed self-defense protocols, along with one single golden rule written into the very OS of every single robot; Save Humans Whatever the Cost.
Problem is, Batman has never seen robots like this not be used for evil purposes, and he knows that their power source (a closely guarded Fenton Works secret) is some sort of liquid that glows green.
He really only knows of one liquid that glows green.
So he's determined to find everything he can about Fenton Works, because there's no way that Daniel Fenton isn't actually a villain in the making.
Danny's just thrilled for the chance to work with Wayne Enterprises.
Constantine totally leading with the idea that Phantom must be in love with this random trio from bum fuck no where!!!
What does he even do??? Does he… does he have to teach a demon how to seduce this poor poly couple so he doesn’t destroy the universe???
Meanwhile everlasting trio and gang are going full force picking songs and writing fucking lore down everything!
The bats bumping into the trio in Gotham and overhearing them talk about knowing Phantom in high school…. And how Danny (the weakest member visually) is the son of ghost hunters.
Tim: I’ve connected the dots.
Brenard (Mr joins every cult he comes a cross): don’t worry babe I got this I’ll just join the cult in amity park!
Tim: the what????
Danny tucker and sam are board in their new Gotham apartment so with nothing to do they deside the most logical course of action
They reenacted the song say my name from beetlejuice the musical now they didn't really mean any harm just casual theatre teen fun
Too bad the bats only see a girl about to jump and 3 spectres offering help (one possibly a demon trying to get the girl to invoke his name 3 times)
Okay okay okay kindred theater kids yes but hear me out!
If they jumped into a different dimension imagine those musicals don’t even exist in DC?!!! So they just don’t explain, commit to the bit!!! And hey Danny doesn’t want to a hero anyway! This is a great cover story so that maybe he’d be left alone for once! (Cue Constantine panic lol.)
Also like hey! What Sam does with her life is her business!!!
Maybe they let Jason in on it after finding out he’s liminal and Jason is ecstatic! A whole other universe filled with unseen musicals!
Or maybe the musicals only exist in amity- feels like a place that would have Beetlejuice as a popular story lol!

I love this!
Also Danny going from terrified child screaming for his godfather to overly protective dangerous kid at the drop of a hat, especially cuz Brucie is considered a playboy! If vlad was that crazy over a one side crush on Maddie he can’t even imagine what will happen if this stupid playboy breaks his heart!!
Danny (yelling): Vlad!!!!! Vlad help !!! These strangers are trying to take me away!! (Tears) I’m /so/ scared!!
Only one of the batkids sees the slight slip of his smirk but instead of realizing it’s *for drama* like Jason they think it manipulative…. Wait is Danny actually the one calling the shots here? (He is but not the way they think)
Vlad using this as a chance to get away from Bruce! With bruce following right on his heels! (Danny spots this like wtf? Vlad is obviously trying to get. Away. From. You!)
Vlad: little badger! It’s alright! I’m here! (Hug) oh you must be the Wayne kids … honestly you gothamites are too much! Threatening me is one thing but ganging up on Daniel like this is-
Snap!
Danny: he threatened you?
Shit
Danny: we’re the only ones that get to do that! (Big mad who does this guy thing he is!)
Imagine redeemed Vlad and Danny going to a wayne gala and bickering as they do
Only their bickering just sounds really horrible to everyone around them
"At least here your parents won't kill you"
"Yeah but you might"
"Only in front of an audience"
And of course people overhear
And of course one of them is bruce adoption papers in purse wayne
Vlad gets taken aside by bruce to be threatened slightly and "hand over the guardianship and no one gets hurt"
Danny gets pulled to the side by the batkids and given a whole spiel about how they can help him and all
Until Danny starts screaming for Vlad - he sees potential for drama and he takes it - and Vlad - who also loves drama - joins in of course, jumping and sliding over tables all "Your godfather is one his way you sad and terrified child"
Jokes on them, the batkids - Jason especially, who had to be held back not to join in in the dramatics - only see this as fuel, now they need him in their family, friends or force either way
(Free Prompt please take )
Hob “words of affirmation” Gadling stuck with Dream “to emotionally constipated to talk” Endless.
And
Dream “quality time” Endless stuck with Hob “I’ll sleep when I pass out” Gadling.
Needless to say misunderstandings ensue.
Hob also presumably still doesn’t know Dream name.
WW: what?
Freddy: you’re not my /real/ dad
CM: sad face
WW: what drama did I just step into???
BREAKING NEWS: Super hero Captain Marvel caught abducting child in Fawcett City!
Okay but the bat kid in question thinking they accidentally crowned their boyfriend?!!?!
And crowned them the prince of what ?!?!! Flowers!?!??
Cue guilt lol
Had my first idea for a dp x dc prompt!
Barely established relationship with a batkid of your choice. Like this is their third date, up to you if any reveals have happened yet. The date happens in a park, the batkid thinks they are being cute and makes a flower crown for Danny.
When it's attempted to be placed on his head, it floats above and catches fire. Danny is still human, hasn't gone ghost or anything but his kingly outfit materializes around him. Cape, armor, ring, aura/pressure the works.
It only lasts a split second because the flower crown was never meant to endure this kind of power. It explodes in a rain of shredded burnt flower bits and ectoplasm. High King Phantom's outfit fades from existence on the mortal plane along with the icy pressure. Perhaps it would have lasted longer if the mortal crown was made of sturdier stuff?
Okay but what if Danny doesn’t succeed the first time?!
Like imagine everyone watching this guy try to kidnap klarion at every turn and trying to feed him “fae food” or just straight up pomegranates! XD
Danny tried to find ways to not get crowned as the Ghost King. Sam told him about summoning a creature for a deal or something similar; maybe they would know something.
The trio somehow summoned Klarion, and as he asked them what they wanted, Klarion doesn't allow himself to be summoned often, but the meeting in the Light was super boring.
Sam and Tucker wait for Danny to talk about his Ghost King problem and see if he can make sure he doesn't get crowned.
But all those plans changed when Danny saw Klarion. "How to make you my Queen!"
Klarion was more amused than he should be; he let himself be summoned, and this was the question he got?
He laughed and told him to be strong enough to capture him fully, and then he broke the summoing circle and was gone.
Sam and Tucker glared at Danny.
Danny had a plan: he would try to make Klarion his mate.
Danny left for the Ghost Zone to become the new King the next day, and Clockwork just shook his head.
After a few weeks, as Klarion was fighting the young Justice kids, Danny came out of nowhere as the Ghost King. And then pulled a Hades on Klarion as he kidnapped him. Klarion laughed as he noticed that the light and the JL looked shocked, but let it happen; this will bring Chaos.
On the other side, he saw King Hades and Queen Persephone.
Danny:" Your plan actually worked, Lord Hades."
Hades smiled: See, I told you it works. You've got a good companion. Young King."
Persephone looked at both and said, "While you two talk, I will talk with Klarion about the future duties he would do if you married."
JL and the Light broke into the castle and saw King Danny with his married mate, Klarion.
Klarion had joy on his face as he saw their shocked faces, and Teekl loves it here too.
“We were on a break!!”
Wesley Weston runs a blog after getting over his desire to expose Danny's secret- primarily due to no one believing him- and no one pays attention to it since almost all of Casper high school has one too.
The difference between the hundreds of other blogs is that one of his pictures of Phantom is clear. A perfectly uncorrected image of the famous ghost, whereas nearly all other pictures are blurry due to ghosts disrupting cameras. Even Wes isn't sure how he managed to capture him so well.
Another difference between his blog and others is that one of his followers happens to be John Constantine, who followed the kid a long time ago due to the fanfiction of the Bats and found them hilarious.
John opens his phone app, expecting a new chapter to the Bruce Wayne/Superman fic, and spits out his tea upon seeing the High King of the Dead casually in the human world. Horrified that the King has not been appropriately welcomed- which could lead to a war that the humans would never win- he calls an emergency Justice League and Justice League Dark meeting.
It didn't help that they had allowed a county to pass the anti-ecto laws, which ruined any attempt to appease the Ghost King once the news broke to the public. The League still worried about a declaration of war even after they demolished the laws and the United Nations had the States apologize on humans' behalf.
They quickly discover High King Phantom has been visiting Earth for almost three years. Before his coronation, Phantom had not been outside the Infinite Realms very often though he has appeared throughout history. Cave drawings date back thousands of years before the first ancient Egyptians, but he's visits are few and short.
Life would naturally send him back to the Realms because he had too much power and ectoplasm. After taking the throne, his powers only grew, which meant someone had to summon him as the only way for him to stay on Earth longer than an hour.
Now as King, he appeared only within the small town of Amity Park daily. Why?
John sighs. "He has an anchor. Someone is tying him to this plane. Like the helmet for Nabu, which allows Doctor Fate to exist here without being launched back to the Infinite Releams, Phantom has bonded himself. And I know who that is"
He pulls up a class photo on Weston's blog and points to a boy wearing a particular necklace.
"Danny Fenton is wearing the official Royal Consort of the Infinite Realms symbol and has been since he was fourteen. Phantom's husband may be our only hope to salvage the terrible mess the USA's bloody GIW placed the rest of us in."
Danny loved the necklace he found in Pariah Dark's old haunt. He inherited Pariah's haunt and everything inside once he was crowned and hasn't taken it off since. He didn't think it would be an issue. It's not like it would out his secret to his parents or anyone else since it was in Ghost Speech. Even he didn't know what it said.
Then one morning he comes down for breakfast only to have the most important members of the Justice League sitting in his living room waiting to greet him.
Desperate to keep his halfa status a secret, Danny must convince the entire world watching him, that he's just a human who scandalously eloped at age fourteen with one of the strongest beings in the mulitverse.
Jack's horrified "We were shooting my son-in-law this whole time" become a meme that has trended for months.
Same!!! Just everyone thinking this poor funky little human got wrapped up in this nonsense while Danny has the time of his life girlbossing and gaslighting.
Have Sam and Tucker and jazz as different types of lawyers or the IRS lol
The King's Informants
Many would say that the Infinite Realms were at peace, now that the ghosts weren't constantly attacking Amity. And in a way they were, but still had some problems.
The Infinite Realms were chaotic and usually didn't follow any rules, Danny's reign didn't change that. That was because death had its own rules and the Realms did their job, Pariah was just horrible at being a ruler and also horrible at making sure everything was more or less where it should be.
When the Ancients recorded a lost soul (which was more common than it seemed), which was neither a ghost nor had passed "to the afterlife" directly, Danny tended to ask the citizens of Amity Park for help, who were grateful with him for his ex job as hero and used to help him. Even if they weren't living in Amity.
Danny would sometimes communicate with them in their sleep, with some help from Nocturne, and explain what they needed to investigate (Danny felt they were some kind of secret informants, or spies, if he was being honest.)
This time, the Realms were in turmoil as "Jason Todd's" soul was missing (and no, Danny wasn't pouting about losing his friend), his soul hadn't registered in any other death cycles or Resurrection. So the King asked Dash to investigate about it and Dash, now a Policeman from Gotham, taked his job seriously.
The "no one is forgotten" network was made up of Amity citizens willing to investigate missing soul anomalies in other cities. This was mostly the Justice League's fault or to do with them, which was pretty frustrating.
Danny was wondering if he should pay them a visit when he was informed that the missing soul was in the realm of the living. The halfa sighed tiredly, he wasn't going to kill Jason to repair the "cycle of life and death" (because that would be hypocritical) but he had to solve the problems caused by said alteration. Being King was fucking tiring.
Or or or they all got a different voices, some better at it than others making the bats think that some of the employees are disguising thier natural accents to not be spotted.
Also them thinking the employees are in on it is soooo hilarious - like why are they doing this? Amnesia? Mind control?
He had been working hard on his duplicates and had recently gained the ability to morph his appearance.
So he decided to challenge himself to see how long he could run a small business only using him and his clones.
The plan was to, at most, seem to have a group of quirky employees.
Unfortunately, it seems he has accidentally left more of an impression of being a shell company for less than legal reasons.
Good news is that he had did all the legal legwork properly and was not breaking the law.
Bad news was that the bats were getting suspicious and were trying to catch him in some sort of act.
Oh well, this just means that the difficulty has ramped up!
