So he was out training, like Clockwork told him to do. He was just observing and trying to "understand the fleeting nature of realities", looking over the dimensions scattered in the Space Between Spaces.
When he got a little attached to one.
It was a dimension with heroes and villains, and because one of the heroes that was based on speed kept making changes to the timeline, it was about to shatter. The fragments of it would be tossed to similar Dimensions, and the surrounding closest ones were already reaching out to grab bits and pieces of it. The one Dimension he really, really liked checking in on would be gone.
Danny...kind of just picked it up.
Removed it from the dimensions trying to absorb it, isolated it from the same flow of time and space that connected it to the others.
Snuck it into his lair.
Annnnnd shoved it into a broom closet before the Observants or Clockwork could realize what he did.
He just needs to keep it hidden and then all the people he likes will be fine!
Meanwhile, the Flash Family find themselves unable to use the Speedforce, and no matter how much research they do, they cannot figure out why.
beautiful fish boys!š
but i forgot about someoneā¦.. oh yeah
Wild Link has many things for exchange tho, just choose wisely
"Which branch of the US military did you say you were again?" Ukyo asked, timidly.
The man sitting across from him with his spine deadly straight stared him down, "Special Forces." He repeated what he had briskly said when they first met.
"Yeah, but is that like the Marines, or...?" Ukyo fumbled for an answer Stanley Snyder was not benevolent enough to give him. Okay then.
Everything about this was strange. A random Japanese sonar operator wasn't reassigned to a top-secret project that multiple nations were cooperating on. Not without much drilling and warning.
Yet he had received none of that. Just a rushed verbal handover. And now he was in the care of this crack team of soldiers, flying to Houston, Texas.
A landlocked city was a strange place to require a sonar operator's presence. So it definitely had to do with something that Ukyo might be able to do for them.
"Any briefing you need to get done?" He asked, hopefully.
Snyder looked away, "I don't think I'm cleared to talk about it."
It was when they made landfall that he finally got more context than what his anxiety-filled nerves cooked up.
"Ah, the second General, brilliant!" A man with a white pompadour greeted him the second Ukyo walked out of the jet.
"I'm just enlisted..." Ukyo tried to correct, only to be cut off.
"Not what I meant. I'm sure Stan didn't think of explaining the situation to you?" The man asked, pulling out a briefcase, "We would've taken more time, but once he made landfall and located you, things got more dire."
He opened the case to reveal a stone statue of a swallow. Ukyo remembered a picture of a whole flock left decorating a tree on his feed in the one second he got to check his phone.
"This is a warning shot." The scientist explained, cryptically.
And then, much less cryptically: "We want you to go to space."
"What." His ears had apparently chosen this exact moment to fail him.
"You'll be accompanied by a student of mine, and a young man I'm assured has remarkable instincts that we are currently trying to contact. We'll explain more at the JSC, but time is running drastically short-" The man continued to talk.
"Xeno, you can't just spill state secrets in the open like this." Snyder frowned, guiding Ukyo along into an SUV anyway.
"Please, Stan, anyone with working braincells can piece together that these are real birds." Xeno scoffed, "And the radio transmission from the future? It doesn't belong to the state."
Snyder had the gall to laugh for the first time since Ukyo had met him, "Alright, you fucking commie. Kid, any pressing questions you wanna ask?"
"You know there's a difference between a submarine and a spaceship, right?" Was his first, panic-stricken question. Before he cringed and backtracked, "Also. Everything. I need to know everything. Been underwater for a really long time."
ā¦
There are no more heroes.
Well, okay. Rewind a bit.
Danny has been doing the hero thing for a while now. Heās had a big reveal; everyone has accepted him (including his parents), the GIW disbanded, the Anti-Ecto acts repealed, and generally, everything is going great. Some of the A-Listers are even training as junior ghost hunters to help give him a break from his rogues! (Being Ghost King makes things hectic sometimes, and he just needs the extra help. Sue him!)
The point is, literally nothing is wrong with Danny Phantomās afterlife.
And then Valerie Gray, the Red Huntress, disappears in front of his eyes.
Danny is baffled! Sheās justā¦gone! Valerie just popped out of existence, like she was never there. But no matter how hard he searches in the Ghost Zone, he canāt find her soul anywhere. His core isn't broken in grief. So sheās not dead. Which is good. So then, where is she?
Some of the others come forward with ideas on how to find her. A few ghosts volunteer to go out into the mortal realm, an area Danny had declared off-limits, to see if she was out there. Danny approves it. He rounds up some of the friendlier (i.e., discreet) ghosts and Amity Parkers and demolishes the outside travel ban.
So everyone spreads out, looking for their dear frenemy and teammate. But it becomes apparent very quickly that something is wrong with the rest of the world.
There are no more heroes.
Every single living superhero on the face of the Earth has justā¦vanished. Villains are running amok; the countries are in chaos! Some aliens are invading Earth, mythical deities are trying to take over, and society is crumbling to the ground. Everything is on the brink of collapse.
Well, Danny was still there. And so were his people. They were pretty spread out, so could they justā¦take up the mantles? He also knew where to find the souls of dead heroes in the Zone; surely they wouldn't mind coming out of retirement for a little bit, especially if they couldn't die again. Oh! And that skeleton army leftover from Pariah Dark's reign might be useful in repelling those invading forces.
Honestly, there were more than enough hands to go around! And with the heroes gone, Danny didn't mind letting everyone out for a little break, as long as they followed his rules. They wouldn't stop the search for the other heroes, but hopefully, when they found them, the heroes wouldn't mind Danny's intervention too much. :)
In other words:
Someone fucks up, and all of Earth's living heroes are either wished out of existence or are whisked away to some far-off realm where Danny hasn't checked yet. In the attempt to figure out what's going on, Danny lets the dead run amok over the Earth as they search for clues. The skeleton army repels the invading armies, the souls of dead heroes deal with the world leaders, and his rogues and other Amity Parkers set up shop in place of famous heroes, trying to get the cities under control again.
Basically, they just do their best to keep everything from imploding until the Justice League and others are back.
(And why is it that Danny hasn't disappeared? Well, whatever caused everyone to go poof! only affected living heroes. Anyone heroes that were dead in the first place, or even just half-dead, stayed behind.)
Danny, appearing out of nowhere: Hi!
Danny, reaching into Jason's chest and pulling out a misshapen, disgusting blob of dark green goo: You've got a spare part you don't need there, buddy.
Danny, molding the goo into a different shape with his bare hands, throwing the darker parts away: And, you know what they say, sharing is caring, so.
Danny, holding up the pure green and slightly glowing blob that is not melting or looking sick anymore: Here you have it, an entirely new spleen, fresh baked and up for grabs!
Danny, shoving said spleen inside Tim: Since you're missing one, you get to have it for free, no returns, you're welcome.
Danny, fading from view with a two-fingered salute: There, puzzle solved, everyone have a great day, bye!
Jason, whose Pit Rage is gone:
Tim, who has a new organ now:
Bruce, who, just like everyone else, has absolutely no idea what just happened and who that glowing kid was:
Dick:
Dick, a moment later: Hold the fuck up, when and how did you have a splenectomy, Timothy?!

With input from @atagotiak (Tia), @gelpenss (Gel), and @thisarenotarealblog (Doc).
Standard initial premise: Clones take over the Republic after Fox kills Palpatine.
Fun AU Twist: in order to keep people from trying to fuck over the Jedi, and also as a backup because they trust the Jedi to at least try to save them after the initial hubbub goes down, and also as a bit of a vindication for those who donāt like their Jedi⦠the clones arrest all the Jedi and just keep them in the brigs etc. until they figure out how to break the news to the galaxy that Palpatine was a bigger problem than previously anticipated.
āWhy did the Jedi not stop you?ā āGreat question! We arrested them.ā āā¦all of them?ā āYes.ā āOn what grounds?ā āOn āthey would have stopped us from killing the Chancellorā grounds.ā
āThe Jedi couldnāt stop you from arresting them?ā āWe just kind of told them āhere, hold thisā and then put the force cuffs on. It was really easy, actually, they trust us way too much, itās kinda scary. A few of them passed out without the Force to keep them awake and the medics got pissed they hadnāt been sleeping.ā āā¦youāre saying you did this for their own good?ā āNo, we did it so we could kill the Chancellor.ā

Bruce is very much not happy. Heās stuck in an absolutely tiny body, with hands that can barely grip onto anything. Not to mention heās somewhere completely unfamiliar with way too much sun and his body, what, maybe a year? He can barely even stand.Ā
Ugh. Next time heās definitely not jumping between his teammates and an unknown energy beam-thing.Ā
Now if he could not wobble and trip over what was his outfit but now seems to be a way too big cloak or cape, that would be great. Actually it might be his gear just well, only his cape. First thing is first, finding out where- or even when- the heck he is.Ā
Danny is honestly blaming Clockwork for everything when he spots a baby that could pass as his baby brother. And he knows he doesnāt have any more clones, seeing as he cleaned out Vladās lab himself. So. Thereās apparently a tiny very liminal-feeling baby crawling around in what is practically a war zone thanks to the GIW.Ā
So he could be forgiven for picking the tiny child up as he runs, because if the GIW does another attack or bombing⦠Yeah, heād rather the literal infant be in one of the safe zones protected by altered ecto shields, even if there was no clue as to where they came from.Ā
