Danny's human form ages like normal, but his default form as Phantom is still the 14y/o he was at his time of death. Luckily he can change that with concentration, since his ghost form is malleable. But he has to a) have the time to enact the change and b) consciously maintain his form. His superhero colleagues don't know he's half alive, so he's typically got his adult ghost form firmly in place before they meet. While fighting a powerful enemy, Phantom's concentration slips and he reverts to child form. Doesn't matter, it's just aesthetics and the enemy is what's important. He’s equally strong in his 14 y/o form. Except, his colleagues are very concerned to “discover” that their teammate is a child who has been lying about his age all this time. So now Danny has to figure out how to convince them that he's just looked 14 for over a decade now, or bite the bullet and show them all his secret identity. Preferably before they demote him to a team of teen heroes, or he gets forcibly adopted.
First Next
There's a coffee shop in Gotham that allowed him way more caffeine than Amity allowed. . .
He likes it here he can have 21 shots of expresso and all he got was an eye roll with some grumbling about a guy named Tim and twins, it's great!!
_______________________________________________
___________A table in the far corner______________
Do I have a twin. . .
No seriously does he have an unknown twin cause standing at the register is a guy that looks so much like him, but not exact enough to be a clone.
We both have pitch black hair the same thick and soft kind but his is infinitely more fluffy and wild like his Red Robin look, bright blue eyes with analytical intelligents and slightly unhinged but his are more icey in color and somehow more dead inside,both our body types are small soft and lean with muscle, small waist, and rounded in the hips, shoulders in mid range, but he has more curves with his shape he's also worriedly more skinny to an unhealthy degree even in my standards, face shapes similar but his are little more angle too it, hell even our voices are similar his being softer and a little deeper than mine
What made me really catch my attention was the fact that he's coffee intake is just as death inducing as mine maybe even more deadly. Hes eye bags are worse then mine from what I can see from here which is across the fucking room.
So I have reasonably concluded that he is my twin. I mean there was a popular rumor that Janite was pregnant with twins and gave one up to adoption as soon they came out with how big she got. Maybe it was true when I am look at someone who has to be related to me.
Though this begs the question where he has been the entire time, He may be visiting with how he has an Midwestern accent but he also holds himself like an Gotham native.
hnmmmmmm. . .
What's he doing?. . .
He's comING OVER HERE ABORT ABORT ABO-
_______________________________________________
"Um you mind if I sit here for a little all the tables are full"
Why he look familiar? Have I seen him before? . . .
Wait that's Timothy Drake-Wayne Co-CEO of Wayne Enterprises, I only know him because of the research binge for the Gothampedia and Tucker's fanboying.
He probably wants some privacy. . .
Probably to relax a little bit and be normal if he's just drinking some coffee in the back corner, alone. He looks nervous as hell too probably don't want any unwanted attention brought to himself, I sure as hell know the feeling
" No it's fine you can sit here "
Is it just me or does he look a little eager
" Cool I'm Danny by the way " sitting and taking a sip of his coffee he notices that Tim seems to be in some sort of dilemma with himself finally he asked
" So you happen to be around and about here often?" He drinks his own coffee
" No, just found this little shop" he cringed a little "I was draged here because my parents wanted to work on something here"
Tim Slightly invested slightly worried " What are they working on?"
" They uhh want to 'help make Gotham more prepared for dangers that may arise in the haunting world' their words not mine"tilting his head slightly to the left "to be fair I think the bats have all that covered, no need to interfere and cause more problems than what it's worth" grumbling under his breath " Don't want them to get on the bats radar cuz they are doing reckless shit and I have to clean it up"
_______________________________________________
Tim is slightly panicking now who are his twins adopted parents and why are they wanting to 'prepared for dangers that may arise in the haunting world'?
What does the haunting world mean?
What does he mean by causing more problems?
Are his parents escaped midwestern rouges or something?
Does he need to do a welfare check on him as Red Robin?
Also he was pretty sure he wasn't supposed to hear that last part but that's just making him more worried.
How reckless can they get?
How many times has he had to clean up their messes?
What does he do. . .
(Thank you for helping me with the idea for the next chapter @ghostlysuitnight )
Okay so wait you guys all know that thing that teachers or parents do were they forget that they don't have to speak in like a baby voice all the time and accidentally interact with grown adults in the same manner they do with a child right? Okay so imagine that- but with Batman and the Justice League
Like-
Hal and Barry are arguing and suddenly Batman goes, “boys, thats not very nice is it?” in like a kid voice
Or Oliver is complaining about getting patched up after a fight and Batman chides, “You take the hit you gotta take the stitch baby,”
Or Clark is mumbling something and Bats goes, “Speak up sweetheart, lets use our speech properly yeah?”
Or Diana accidentally punches a man in the face when hes already down. Batman tsks, “Come on darling, what did we talk about? One hit only.”
Or Oliver is leaving for a mission and Dinah kisses him goodbye and then he walks away, only for Batman to go, “Say bye bye!”
AGDJFDYSGUKSRHGBDF
Just please imagine their faces for me.
And Batman grimaces lightly afterwards every time and just leaves and the League is flabbergasted
It all started when the de-aging because of magic, Danny was found by a green ring. The ring chose Danny because of the strongest will he had before his de-aging. After falling Asleep in the Ghost zone, Danny was pulled into a portal and came out on the other side in space out.
The next thing Danny knew was he was on the Plant Oa. And found by an older green lantern who has no idea how to take care of a toddler.
Kilowog had no idea what to do with that toddler, but he knew it was a human.
So time for extra training for Hal then.
And that was how Hal in Coast City ended up with the "Baby Lantern" sidekick…
Which brought many problems to JL; at least Guy and John helped him.
"He isn't a sidekick! Batman, stop glaring at me! You too, Supeman and Wonder Woman… Wait, where is Danny?"
Baby Danny is playing in space, still angry to be taken away from the cool alien planet. But this space station is cool!
Danny the "The most adorable Sidekick, voted that way by public and JL. "
Billy is really good at voice impressions. It helps with his radio show. A funny voice here, and a funny voice there, can really add to the bit even if it’s just a little.
Mary: *sweeping* “Billy, who was that girl on your show?”
Billy: *also sweeping* “Whatdya mean? There wasn’t a girl on my show.”
Mary: “Yeah there was. Every now and then, a girl would switch in with you.”
Billy: *was switching between the voices just to see how long it would take for someone to signal for him to stop* “That was me.”
Mary: “Huh…?”
Billy: “That was me.”
So yeah, it’s safe to say he’s pretty good at it. So imagine the ways he uses it as Captain Marvel.
Marvel: *chased a goon to a dark room*
Goon: *hiding behind some crates*
Marvel: *pitches up his voice to sound like a little girl* “Come out come out wherever you are.”
Goon: *confused at the little girl coming out of nowhere*
Marvel: *still doing a little girl voice* “I know you’re here. I can hear you breathing.”
Goon: *shits himself*
Billy was not happy to have to take the goon to the police station after that.
Police Officer: *covers nose* “God, what is that smell.”
Marvel: *puts the goon on the ground* “He soiled himself. My bad.”
Police Officer: “What did you do?”
Marvel: *shrugs and starts to walk off*
Police Officer: “Wait, what did you do?!”
He stole that line from a horror movie Freddy and him watched when they snuck into a theater. He scared the shit out of Freddy a day later when the power went out in his apartment.
He also uses this to scare the other heroes every now and then.
Flash: *doing something he shouldn’t be doing*
Marvel: *walks up behind him and does a Batman voice* “Flash.”
Flash: *AH—” *startles and turns around* “Dude what the hell?!”
Marvel: *laughing at him with the Batman voice*
Flash: “That is so freaky…”
or
Batman and Marvel: *hiding behind a wall*
Harley Quinn: *tied up next to them*
Joker: *looking for Harley*
Marvel: *clears his throat and mimics her voice* “Mista J! Come quick!”
Batman: *bewildered because he didn’t know Marvel could do that but thankfully the cowl masks it*
Joker: “There you are, Harley!” *runs over*
Batman: *decks the Joker as soon as he gets close*
They do not, in fact, tell him.
They instead make it a game of "Get down, Mr. President!" and dogpile him from perceived threats. Threats like the toaster. Or Dash Baxter. Or Mr. Lancer. A stray cat that walked out of an alley. A fight with Skulker.
A bird.
The worst bit is, even the GIW and his parents have stopped attacking those specific ghosts, because it's far more interesting that beings that mimic human behavior have picked up a childs game to mimic.
So he'll be home, at the kitchen, and with an almighty cry of "GET DOWN MR. PRESIDENT" one of the three ghosts will launch themselves over him dramatically.
There is not escape.
The security system in his house has been programmed to ignore them.
His parents love the opportunity to talk to a ghost, and are starting to go back on their "all ghosts are evil" thing.
The Outlaws are investigating a small town in Illinois. They don't get very far into town though when Jason feels a weird tug at his chest. He can't help but follow it to a graveyard and then to a specific grave. It is there he witnesses something he never thought he'd experience from an outsider's perspective. A boy trying to claw his way out of his grave.
Billy has embarrassed himself a lot in life. Whether it be through mundane things, or the fact that he even trusted Ebenezer to take care of him in the first place, he’s had a lot of embarrassing moments. That includes this one.
Music Meister: “Sing I say, SING!” *shoots a spell at them*
Shazamily: *all get hit*
Billy didn’t even know how it happened. One moment they’ve been hit by the spell the next they were wearing matching outfits. Not the normal matching ones they wear. The type of stuff one of those boy bands Pedro likes wears. Darla and Mary were wearing the outfits too, though for some reason, Mary and himself had the same outfit?
(There’s only five Backstreet Boys so because they’re twins they get to twin while the others get their own individual outfits).
Pedro: “Why’re we dressed like the Backstreet Boys??”
Marvel: “What in the world is a Backstreet Boy?”
Music Meister: “You’ll find out soon enough, Marvels! I made sure to put some extra bit of juice into this spell!”
Marvel: *horrified* “What?”
It was then music started playing out of nowhere.
It was also then that they started choreographically dancing to the tune of Everybody (Backstreets Back). The Music Meister ended up hitting a couple other people with his spells so they would be their backup dancers too.
The piece of shit (and Billy doesn’t use that lightly) made them spectacle. Everyone around them was recording them, taking pictures, and uploading it into the Internet. It was one of the single, most embarrassing things that had ever happened to Billy. Billy also didn’t know whether or not it was good or bad that they all did the dance pretty nicely, though that was probably the Meister’s magic at work.
Freddy later showed him a video while they were both in their Marvel forms. Billy literally sunk to his knees and started bawling.
That was uploaded to the Internet too.
Marvel:*curled up into a ball*
Junior/Voltage(?): “Hey, maybe we should do that aga—”
Marvel: “NO-WUH.”
