DPXDC Prompt: Contingencies

Clark Kent has been ordered to go write a story about the "Most Haunted Town in America" from the Daily Planet. He broke a pretty big story on corrupt landlords, and Perry told him to go out of the city for a bit so that things can cool off.

He arrives at the town and immediately witnesses a Ghost Attack.

He also witnesses the local teenage hero prevent any civilian casualties or injuries, and only a little bit of property damage.

Clark is, honestly, super impressed.

There's just.

One little, tiny thing. It's bothering him,

The GIW.

There is no such thing as the Anti-Ecto Acts; Clark knows, he shot off a message to Bruce and Bruce confirmed it.

So instead of doing a fluff piece on Amity Park, Clark finds himself digging into a man called Vlad Masters, and what his connections are to the Mercenaries posing as government agents.

Because he's doing this whole thing as Clark Kent, he has to stay in his civilian persona.

This means that he's getting rescued by teen hero Phantom. Like, a lot.

Okay, Clark's not gonna lie. He's having fun.

This is fun.

~~~~~~

Danny, however, has never been so stressed in his entire life.

He's trying to save the nosy out-of-town reporter, who keeps getting attacked by Vlad's minions.

But every time he saves Mr. Kent, Mr. Kent congratulates him and like...grades him? Gives him pointers?

Danny doesn't know how to describe it, it feels like when his teachers are trying to teach him something after reading his assignment over his shoulder but he hasn't turned in the essay yet.

And Danny swears this guy is having fun.

~~~~~~

Vlad's had enough of this troublemaking reporter, and he's done sending out his minions to play.

He's going to handle this personally.

Defeated—

Danny is the victim again, because they think he’s the villain.

“I’ll never give up on you.”

⟢ Sketch of Danny being pinned down by the hand of a GiW agent. Pinterest inspiration doesn’t do me any good. This sat in my head for a while now and it needed to get out.

There should be a dp x dc ver of Danny's class stranded in the middle of nowhere and they are unaware that they are being recorded live for the entire world, with the superhero communities pressured to find them.

Dick: I think a magical girl transformation would fix me. Jason: I think killing a titan would fix me. Tim: You want to be isekai'd so bad you look stupid. Clark: What are these words? Bruce: Don't ask.

Will humanity ever be free of the influence of Edna Mode? Can any of us so much as consider the character design for a hero or villain without her manifesting in the room, fully aware of our sins?

Hi all! First post and its my first time posting art anywhere as a baby artist!

In honor of ArtFight coming to a close, here are my favorite attacks I did during the month. I wanted to do so much more, sadly I injured my wrists making it difficult to keep up.

Had a lot of fun participating this year! Go Seafoam!

Danny has ADHD and Time Blindness, but he has no idea about that. He has no idea he has either of those things due to the fact that he also has superspeed.

As far as he knows, it really doesn't take that long to get from Point A to Point B, wherever they are.

It's just a quick little jog, after all. He has no idea why everyone is so complainy about it taking forever to get from....well, anywhere. Walking/jogging takes way less effort than people seem to think; it's just so simple! But no one wants to get fresh air or see the city, he guesses.

Like, somewhere down the street there's a cafe that makes great bagels, but no one knows what he's talking about because no one bothers to explore.

Before he had his accident, sure; time seemed to be a swamp to struggle through or not there at all, but after the accident it just kinda set itself right. Now he's almost on time for most things!

The Flashes, however, all know about the out of touch speedster that sometimes zooms through Keystone to get bagels from a specific cafe. He's a little odd, always zoned out, and the only one of them he pays any attention to is Bart, and that's only to say hi.
