This is the chaos I want to see in a crossover đ€©
When Danny said, âYou guys should meet my parents,â the Batkids had collectively paused.
Jason: âArenât those the ones who tried to dissect you?â
Danny: âThey got better.â
Damian: âYou are very casual about attempted vivisection.â
Danny: âWelcome to the Fenton family, baby.â
Dick: âThis canât possibly go wrong.â
Steph: âFamous last words.â
FentonWorks â Amity Park
The Batkids stepped out of the Fenton RV, staring up at the lime green, Frankensteinâd-together house with a giant ectoplasmic turret on top.
Tim whispered, âThat building violates every safety code Iâve ever studied.â
âWhich means itâs perfect,â Jason grinned.
The front door burst open.
âDANNY-BOY!â Jack Fenton roared, charging out in a hazmat suit and hugging Danny so hard he phased to avoid cracked ribs.
âAnd these must be your little friends!â Maddie beamed. âAre they in your ghost hunting club? Vigilante group? Paranormal protection gang?â
Jason: â...Yes.â
Inside the Lab
Dannyâs siblings (by chaos, not blood) stood in awe-slash-terror as Jack proudly showed off the Fenton Arsenalâą.
âWeâve got Ecto-Blasters, Specter Snare Cannons, the Ghost Gabber 9000ââ
âThat one doesnât do anything,â Danny stage-whispered. âIt just yells ghost puns.â
ââand of course, my favorite,â Jack said, hefting a glowing, bazooka-sized monstrosity, âThe Fenton Anti-Creep Stickâą!â
âCan I hold it?â Jason asked immediately.
Danny: âYou really, really shouldnâtââ
Jack: âYou absolutely can!â
Danny: ââoh god.â
Jason grinned like a kid in a candy store as he hoisted the Anti-Creep Stick and blew a crater in the backyard. âI LOVE YOUR DAD.â
Gift Time
âSo!â Maddie chirped. âWe made each of you a custom ghost-defense item!â
Danny: â...Please be small.â
They were not.
Jason got a pair of twin ecto-revolvers â glowing green, sleek, with ghost-seeking tech embedded in the handles. He was in love.
Tim got a pocket-sized spectral scanner that unfolded into a full laptop. (âIt hacks through dimensions,â Maddie said proudly. Tim nearly cried.)
Damian was gifted a miniaturized spectral scimitar. Jack added, âIt sings your theme song when it powers up!â Damian smiled â a terrifying, sharp little smile.
Steph got an ectoplasm glitter bomb launcher. She immediately set it off in the kitchen. Maddie was delighted.
Dick received ecto-infused grappling hooks that let him swing through walls. He hugged both parents on the spot.
Later That Night
The Batkids lounged on beanbags in Dannyâs room, covered in marshmallow goo from Fenton family sâmores night.
Steph: âYour mom tackled a ghost into the barbecue pit.â
Tim: âYour dad gave me a hug that cracked my ribs.â
Jason (stroking his new guns lovingly): âIâm moving in.â
Danny: âYouâll regret that at 3AM when the fridge starts screaming.â
Damian: âYour father attempted to high-five me. I allowed it. Once.â
Danny snorted. âHeâs gonna cry from happiness later.â
Meanwhile, in the Fenton Kitchen
Maddie sipped her tea. âTheyâre good kids.â
Jack nodded, eyes misty. âDo you think if we adopt them too, we can finally start that Ghost Hero Team I always wanted?â
Maddie smiled. âLetâs give them snacks first.â
Group Chat: [Batfam + Phantom of the Groupchat]
Jason: Can I call your dad Pops?
Danny: ...I literally do not have the power to stop you.
Steph: i want to go back next weekend. ghost dodgeball rematch.
Damian: I defeated the kitchen specter with honor. Fenton called it a âheckinâ good whack.â
Tim: I still donât know how the toaster is haunted.
Dick: Best parents. A+++ would let them arm me again.
Danny: theyâre already building a tank for you.
Bruce: WHAT DO YOU MEAN "A TANK"
Danny: Too late B. Youâre a Fenton by association now đ
God I love unconventional and crack pairings so much đ€Ł
You know what would be deadass funny. Jack Drake comes back from the dead and in ârevengeâ adopts either Jason as his kid, or Damian or both and Bruce and him have dad offs to who is a better father to their adopted children. They both fail at fatherhood in their own special ways. Anyway 50k slowburn jack/bruce, the robins all end up traumatized because they did not ask to be pulled into this bullshit.
Robin!Jason, seeing Dick with the Teen Titans: Is that Dickhead taking care of people? Barbara: Yeah. Don't laugh when they call him responsible. They don't know why that's hilarious.
At some point, Damian fucks up. Itâs while heâs still new to Gotham and is trying to win the approval of his father and adopted siblings, but ten years of training is not easy to deprogrammed if itâs all you know and Bruce takes it out in Damian and Dick isnât around and Damian âI act like Iâm older but Iâm still just a 10 year old with repressed emotionsâ Al Gul leaves. Runs away if you will. He leaves Gotham because heâll be found in Gotham and he would like to not be found thank you very much.
He end up in central city (which at some point was claimed to be in Illinois) where heâs happened upon by one Danny Fenton who now lives in the city and works R&D at Star Labs creating a sustainable energy source by filtering ectoplasm that naturally exists in this plane of existence.
Needless to say heâs a well established individual, incredibly smart, and can easily take in a child when he happens across Damian in a park.
Danny has one conversation with this emotionally repressed child who very clearly ran away from home and is also hiding weapons on his person and is like
âGuess your mine now.â
Damian does not cave at first. He accepts Dannyâs offer of a place to stay for the night and then once they arrive at Dannyâs apartment, Cujo arrives and Damian is sold. Ghosts exist, theyâre not talked about a lot outside of certain circles, but itâs not a secret. And after saving enough of the right people as a ghost, the anti ecto acts were rescinded so Danny is home free and is taking after his parents in the study of ecto-everything. Heâs also the king and can do what he wants with the ectoplasm he collects. So a ghost dog being in his apartment isnât weird, but Dannyâs grateful Cujo can come and go freely without threat now.
Anyway I saw a tag somewhere about how âsometimes a family is an ex-assassin, a random guy, and their ghost dog.â So thatâs what this is.
Danny doesnât ask questions. Damianâs old family hurt him? Didnât trust him? Neglects him unintentionally? Thatâs not conductive to a happy healthy childhood. Do you want to be my family? I have a cousin around you age, you two would probably get along great whenever she visit. Also you seem to have a lot of pent up energy. I know a place we can go and brawl it out of your system. No you wonât hurt me if you donât hold back, yes I promise I wonât get mad at you for fighting.
For ghosts, fighting is like a social activity. Danny takes Damian into the ghost zone for these brawls, probably uses one of skulkers islands so Damian can have the full benefits of a diverse terrain because this little gremlin is trained and Danny will ask someday, but not today.
Iâm sure at other points other ghosts show up as well and are like, weâre play fighting with Phantomâs kid? Hell yeah! Danny probably finds some dead LOA assassins at some point who inform him about the kid heâs adopted and that the LOA will probably come after him again at some point. And Danny just laughs because Damianâs his now. Danny would like to see anyone try to take his kid and live to tell the tale.
The bright side of that interaction is that Damian gets introduced to an entire zone in the realm thatâs made up of denizens he can learn his heritage and culture from. He ends up with a ghost sword and spars somewhat regularly with old LOA members who have chilled out in the afterlife.
Obviously they donât live in the zone. Danny has a job, and Damian, as soon as Tucker creates the most airtight new identity in the history of man kind and hides Damian behind a ghost firewall, has school. He is now Damian Al Mir Fenton (the ghosts started calling him Almir as a nickname because he is the son of the ghost king and a prince so Damian decided to adopt it as his middle name). They get away with this for a while because Damian spend enough time around Danny and in the zone that heâs liminal adjacent and that causes cameraâs to not quite capture his likeness correctly, so when the bat clan finally starts looking for him he doesnât show up on face recognition scans they use.
Itâs like, a year or two before they eventually get a lead. One of Damianâs clones arrive and either fools then bats into believing heâs Damian, or gets captured and Batmanâs giving a briefing in the watchtower about the LOA. Either way it happens on the watchtower.
Either Flash seeâs the clone of Damian or seeâs a photo of the clone and blue screens for a minute before loudly declaring âwhy are clones of Fentonâs kid being sent after you?â And then Batman blue screens because who the fuck is Fenton and why does flash think Damian is his kid?
And so flash goes on the explain That Danny works with him at Star labs and heâs got a kid name Damian who arrived a few years ago because his mother passed away and apparently heâd never told him she was pregnant. So obviously he took him no questions asked. Honestly the two of them are great together. I know there was a bit of a rough patch at the start, I canât imagine what itâs like for a kid to be uprooted from everything he knows and loves to be placed in a new place with a basic stranger, but the two of them seemed to work it out. Barry invited them over for holiday dinners sometimes theyâre a sweet family.
And now Bruce is blue screening for another reason because some civilian took in a ten year old assassin and is still alive but also has a thriving relationship with Damian? He doesnât believe it.
So when Bruce returns to the cave he looks up Fenton, finds a whole lot of questionable things about his family, but none of them apply to him. Guys just a dude working on renewable energy sources. And he seeâs pictures of Danny with his son and yeah, thatâs definitely Damian Wayne, except this Damian has a small smile on his face and an exasperated look of fondness as 30 year old Fenton hugs him from behind.
Another photo shows Danny decked out in fan gear sporting Damianâs name as the now 11-12 year old hides his head in embarrassment. Damian in question is wearing a martial arts uniform. A later post shows he was at a competition and won. Bruce half expected to find articles about major injury caused to opponents Damian competed against, but videoâs of the competition show intense fighting, sure, but nothing lethal and no unessessary damage. Damian is respectful as one should be in this environment and Bruce isnât convinced heâs looking at the same feral 10 year old that was dropped at his door step.
Dick makes the first move when word gets out, naturally. He shows up in Central City and makes his way to Star Labs where he requests a meeting with Danny. He explains that Damian is his younger adoptive brother. That when he went missing it cause a rift between Dick and Bruce (âBruce Wayne?â Danny asks for clarification then laughs âknew there was a reason I didnât like billionaires.â And Dick almost laughs at that). Dick had been looking for Damian all this time and would like a chance to reconnect with him. He understands if thatâs not an option, Damian seems like heâs happy and healthy and knowing how he was treated when he first arrived, Dick is almost relieved, but if thereâs a chance to see his baby brother he wants to take it.
Danny nods and says heâll bring it up with Damian. Leave me your number and Iâll message you what he thinks.
Damian takes a week, but decides to meet up with Grayson. Their first meeting is at a local cafe. They sit alone at the table, but Danny is a few away just out hearing distance (if he had normal hearing) being a silent support for his son. The next visit Danny invites him over for Dinner. Theyâd moved into a house by now and Damian had an entire room dedicated to swords he collects. âI donât use them much, but theyâre part of a history I belong to and having them feels right.â They also have a sparing room because in Dannyâs words âhe has too much energy for his tiny body. Once we found a way for him to regularly let it out he calmed down a lot.â
Dick is completely charmed. Tells Bruce that Damian is happy where he is and to fuck off, but he expresses it over many words.
Of course that doesnât stop Bruce. Who approaches Danny out of the blue, practically Cornnering him and says heâll charge him with kidnapping if he doesnât return Damian to him. That danny has no idea who or what Damian is or what he comes from.
Danny, in return, just laughs. âKidnapping charges wonât stick,â is all he says. âAnd I know more about who Damian is and where he came from than you do. More importantly, I was able to see past it and treat him like the slightly feral ten year old he is. Let me guess? You tried to change him? Cut off his beliefs and ideologies cold turkey? Got frustrated when he couldnât turn off ten years of learned habits like a light switch? How they keep letting you adopt children is beyond me Bruce, but your not taking my kid I can promise you that.â
Bruce still tries. Sends his lawyers after Danny and Danny sends back a legal document signed by Talia that passed guardianship of Damian over to him. Talia had tried to come collect her son at some point. If he wasnât with Bruce then he would be by her side. Danny Ghost King Fenton, said this is my kid and you arenât taking him before beating down almost an entire legion of assassins and Talia herself. âYou abandoned him, even if out of love, and his father rejected him. Damianâs mine now.â And Talia recognizes strength when she sees it and knows her son will be safe, but also seeâs the way that Danny is encouraging her sonâs connection to his heritage and not forcing him to change, just calm down. So she signs the papers and leaves them with Danny because she does love her son in her own weird ways and she will see him safe and happy, itâs unfortunate she believed bruce would be up to the task.
The adoption is airtight. Since Talia raised him and Brice didnât know he was real (and also ghost lawyers are crazy good) Damian stays a Fenton and Thrives.
Thalia swings through sometimes to visit. Sometimes she meets up with damian, other times she meets up with Danny and hears about how her son is doing. If anyone asks, Thalia is Damianâs aunt, who travels and couldnât take him in after his mother passed so she tracked down Danny.
Bruce is furious, but also resigned. Outside of kidnapping, thereâs not much else he can do. And even if he chose to push even harder on the legal route, the arrival of Dick in Fentonâs social media would cause issues because Dick would voice his support for Danny no doubt and also speak on the initial attitude bruce had towards Damian when he first arrived. So no. He has to content himself watching his son be raised by someone else who was able to do for Damian what Bruce failed to do.
Bruce Wayne would fear Kyouko Mogami.
Not bc she could down him, bc he saw the Ren Tsuruga doll and heard her say it was to scale, down to the bones.
This young woman went and learned everything about this man and then proceeded to make a doll of him. A hyper realistic, to scale, doll.
Tbh Bruce would probably have to hold Tim back from trying to ask her to learn that.
To make my point clear, Kyouko recognized Ren bc of his bones in the manga. Like he was acting as an american actor (a scary one) and bc she recognized him she had to be given the role of the american actors sister. She had to act so she didnât accidentally out him.
This is my favorite fact about Kyouko â€ïž
Had the idea of ER nurse Danny and ER doc Damian working in the same ER.
Like their the same age but Danny was working there first (bc it takes less time to become a nurse than a Dr) and everyone in the ER loves him. He is the most component nurse theyâve ever had and is always cool, calm and collected even in the most stressful of times. Drs know that if shit hits the fan they can pass any patient thatâs not dying right this second over to Danny and heâll get them sorted all by himself, cracking jokes the whole time to keep everyone else from freaking out.
Then Damian starts working there and heâs basically a no nonsense Danny. Nothing fazes the guy. On his second day there he handled a gun shoot wound, spinal injury, rib fracture and stabbing all within an hour of starting his shift, all on different patients. He gets in, gets shit done and moves on as if he was dealing with a minor problem not 3rd degree burns.
Now these two, despite working at the same hospital, have never met. Bc Danny works the night shift and Damian works the day and every person that works there is so fucking glad thatâs the case bc non of them expect them to get alone. Like Dannyâs all wise cracks and jokes and Damian is all âstop wasting timeâ so even tho theyâre both efficient as fuck, no one expects them to tolerate each other.
Then on the first Halloween Damian works there, every member of staff is on shift bc itâs fucking Gotham and all the staff r just bracing for the inevitable fall out of two unstoppable objects colliding. Only it never happens bc these two get alone like a house on fire. Like yeah normally Damian gets up people goofing off but thatâs bc their not doing work and just wasting time, he sees nothing wrong with Dannyâs jokes bc heâs getting work done while he jokes. Itâs like working with Dick, he honestly finds it a bit reassuring bc if Danny is cracking jokes it canât be that bad. Danny on the other hand is just so glad to have someone else that can keep pace with him. Normally by this time of night heâs juggling 8 to 18 patients on his own with only minimal help from the on shift doctors but now Damian is right there with him and the two r basically tag teaming the hoard of mass casualties that just came in.
Needless to say that night Gotham general was the most efficient hospital on the planet and every doctor and nurse on staff have the horrible realisation that while they had mentally prepared for these two fighting, they hadnât prepared for the fucking hurricane these two form when they get alone. ïżŒ
Ever get absolutely blindsided by a fixation
Danny makes a mistake. Or maybe he struck gold. Depending on the perspective you were looking through.
It starts one night when Sam, Tucker, Danny, and Jazz get together for a private party on Tucker's birthday. Mr. and Mrs. Foley had let them have the whole house to themselves on the agreement that it would only be the four of them. They would be keeping an eye on the security camera and motion detectors around the property. At the slightest hints of Tucker having a house party, the pair would return from Mr. Foley's sister's house to shut it down.
The group of teenagers were more than happy not to invite anyone. It's not like anyone would show- at least not with good intentions. They had an entire night plan- coffee drinks based on their types, video games, boardgames ones, painting hour, karaoke, movies, and cake after presents.
They all pitched in for pizza, and Sam offered to buy everyone breakfast in the morning. The party started at four and would end at ten the following morning. The boys would sleep in Tucker's room while Sam and Jazz crashed in the guest room together.
Danny hadn't had that much fun in such a long time that he didn't even shy away from Sam's video camera while singing. The youngest Fenton has always had a fantastic singing voice, but his stage fright has stopped him from showing off his skill in front of anyone who was not close friends or family.
The following morning, while eating at Tucker's favorite breakfast restaurant, Sam checked her phone after noticing all the buzzing. Danny could catch her face turning pastly white at whatever was on her screen. She taps aggressively, nearly frantically, which gains the attention of Tucker and Jazz.
"Sam? Everything good?" Jazz asks gentely.
"I..no..I'm sorry, Danny," She whispers after staring hopelessly at her screen. "I meant to save it in our private share, not...the anonymous one."
"What?"
"I...post poetry anonymously on this voice website. It's audio recordings only." She explains, placing the phone on the table. Her voice is hesitant. "Last night....I accidentally posted the video of you singing from the Karaoke machine I saved. The one from the Realms. And some of my followers saved it and shared it. It's trending."
Danny feels his stomach drop into his legs. "What?"
"No one knows who you are!" Sam blurts as Tucker quickly pulls out his own phone. A few seconds later, Danny's voice blares out of his speaker, the melody blending well with his singing. The Karaoke has a recording option that deletes background noise, making it far more professional than four teenagers dancing around the Foley's coffee table.
"Dude, this sounds amazing," Tucker says after a moment. "I can't believe I finally have a recording of your singing. Just look at these comments!"
The song is an open domain in the Infinite Realms, telling the tell of the first King's fall. It's rather popular for its revolutionary themes and near musical lyrics that blended with the rapid flute melody, so finding a ghost willing to share a Karaoke version took nearly no effort. People online think Danny was the songwriter.
The song on Sam's page had ninty-thousand listens, with just as many downloads- each download places ten cents in her account. So far, Danny's singing has made nine thousand dollars. It's only been twelve hours!
It got so much traction because Damian Wayne had made an edit with a popular anime and posted it on his personal account. His small usage had exploded Danny's song in only a few hours.
"Take it down!" Danny hisses, slapping a hand over Tucker's screen and glancing at nearby tables. "Sam, please take your post down."
"I did! I swear! But it's too late to stop it from spreading on the WorldClip." She tells him, and Danny's heart feels like it will explode until Jazz gently speaks up.
"Sam, can Danny have those nine grand?"
His best friend blinks momently, thrown by the question before she nods, "Of course! It's his money."
"Hmm." Jazz taps her fingers under her chin before turning Danny's face towards her. It's not until her gentle pats on his back that he realizes he is hyperventilating. "You should post more on that anonymous website. Sam can write the songs, Tucker can make the music, and you can sing."
"What!?" He choked, shocked she would even ask him. Tucker and Sam are eyeing them with wide eyes, frozen in their seats. No one knew where the fear had come from, but the two knew how badly Danny reacted to the idea of performing.
Tucker first met Danny when the boy panicked in the music room. After it was announced, the students would be singing Twinkle Little Star in the first grade. It was the first time Tucker had ever called nine-one-one, too.
He was praised as a hero, while Danny was scolded for overreacting. Tucker had held his hand until the sobbing boy's parents came to pick him up and has never left his side since.
"Danny, this fear has always left you in shambles. I think it would help you. This could be a form of exposal therapy," She says, then shrugs her shoulder. "Think about it. No one will know who you are, but your music could reach thousands without you ever having to show your face. You could pay for the college you wanted to go to in Gotham this way. All of you."
Neither Danny's nor Tucker's parents could afford to send them to Gotham University despite it being their dream school. Sam's parents refused to pay for a "useless" degree such as Botany. They had been growing uneasy with the realization dreams were not always promised as the end of the senior year approached in only a few short months.
They would never ask it of him, but Danny could see the genuine hope tucked in their eyes as they waited for his response. He licked his lips, feeling his heart still beating a mile a minute under his rib cage.
He didn't like being this paralyzed by an irrational fear. He also really wanted to help them reach their dreams.
So Danny opens his mouth and whispers, "Only until we can get to Gotham to find jobs"
Jazz's smile is bright.
________________________________________________________
A few months later, Damian practically runs Tim over in his rush to connect to the game room's surround system. Jon is hot on his heels and has the decency to shout an apology as the pre-teens rush by.
"Hey! Watch it!" He still screams at their backs, irritated. "I could've dropped my croissant!"
"Sorry again Tim!"
"You're fat anyway, Drake!"
Tim rolls his eyes, adjusting his hold on his plate as Dick rounds the corner that the children had appeared from. "What's got them rushing?"
"Online Siren just dropped a new song." Dick laughs. "Dami is a bit of a fan."
"Online Siren?"
"That's right, you were in space for five months. Online Siren is this anonymous singer that everyone is going crazy over on the internet. He's an amazing singer, but because no one knows anything about him. Not even Babs."
Tim raises a brow. "He could be using autotune."
"Maybe, but Tim, I'm telling you. Listen to his music, and you'll find you can't stop. Siren is a fitting name."
"He can't be that good," Tim mutters, following his eldest brother into the game room, where Damian and Jon have blared the speakers to the loudest setting and dancing around.
Tim draws up short at the sight of Damian Wayne actually crying as he sings along to the lyrics, acting as if the singer was right there in front of him and he was a long-time fan.
Then, the music invades his ears, and Tim feels like he is ascending on a different plane. The smooth, near silk-like voice glinds into his chest, rattling his bones, and his knees shake when the man holds a soft, seductive "Oh" for a few seconds longer then necessary.
It sends shivers down his spine.
"What is this!? It's so good!" He screams at the dancing Dick, who laughs.
"I know, right!?"
"It's too good. I think this is a real siren." Tim continues, pressing his hands over his ears. His mind flashes back to the few months he spent with his team, running for a mind-controlling alien that had nearly trapped them in the third space sector. "Dick, we're in danger! Get around from the speakers! Mind control!"
Dick stops dancing with a sigh, muttering under his breath as Tim rushes to the control panel of the speaker system. As soon as he slams it off, Damian releases a screech of an angered cat and launches at him, demanding his music back. Jon flouts nervously on the side as the two youngest Waynes brothers roll on the ground, yelling insults and taking dirty shots.
"I wish I could enjoy things with my siblings without them ruining it." He mumbles, striding forward to break up the fight, only to scream when Tim pulls out pepper spray, yowling like a madman.
"Mind control! Mind control!"
"My EYES! "
"Drake, stop!"
"You'll never get me Siren! Never!"
".I'm going to go get Mr.Wayne!"
"Make haste, Jon! Bring my father to stop this baffoon-my eyes! Drake, you bastard!"
Hood needs to hurry or Mr Freeze will adopt him
Danny's love language is physical touch.
He adored his dadâs crushing hugs, his motherâs forehead kisses, and his sister's way of putting both hands on his shoulders to guide him.
He loved the way he would accidentally brush against his friends while walking, how they would grab on each other during horror movies, how Sam would stop and pick the loose hair on his shirt, and how Tucker would press his hand against his back every time he caught up to them.
After being forced out of Amity and outed as Phantom, he started to miss Dashâs punches, too.
Any type of touch was considerably better than the cold he was feeling inside his chest.
His ice core made him feel like he was suffocating, the warmth of a human touch now felt more urgent than eating or finding shelter out in Gotham.
In the meantime, Red Hood received news of a new criminal in the alley that would target random people in the street and grab them, causing their arms to freeze over.
When Amity Park left the Infinite Realms it didnât reappear where it had been before, instead it seemed to land in the ocean. Water all around them, a landmass barely on the horizon. Phantom flew to take a look and when he came back told the people of Amity Park that they were not in their universe. He had seen dragons and other creatures that definitely didnât exist on earth.
Amity Park was now an island. Sandy beaches surrounded the once land-locked city and a row of problems arose faster than solutions could be found. They had food in the supermarkets, the mall and some smaller stores, but the fridges and freezers needed electricity. It took the Fentons and a few electricians to find a solution.Â
That was the start of the Fenton Ecto Battery, while the Fentons themselves had already used ecto to power their inventions they now had to find a way to build a battery big enough to power the whole city and then somehow find a way to connect it to the existing lines under the city.Â
There was also the problem of money, while people had money, the bank itself didnât store all of the money in cash. There was no internet or phone service, they were transported into a time before in their minds.Â
âWell, the portal still works, canât we just go back?âÂ
Phantom had to explain that he couldnât transport the whole city, he was already busy using his ice until they had power again. Not to mention that the whole city now knew that Phantom was Fenton. And Danny also helped with the F.E.B.
Tucker and Technus were the ones who took on the problem, they had already been working on multiverse phones, so Tucker and Sam could reach Danny no matter where he was, in the Realms or not.Â
People who had worked outside of Amity Park were forced to find new work inside the city, retirees came back to work to help as well with knowledge how to do jobs without the modern comforts.Â
They were lucky an old man had retired and moved to live with his daughter after a lifetime of building ships. Thanks to him the Amity Parkers actually had a chance at fresh food. Phantom was eventually send out to look for cows, chickens, whatever he would find that could be taken care of for food later on.
The first year was plagued by problems the people had to slowly work out, as well as the struggle of the entire town being heavily liminal due to their three-day-exposure in the Realms. Getting used to people floating suddenly, or phasing into the ground from one step to the next as well as suddenly being a lot stronger and faster were a lot.
The second year slowly worked better, people were used to their new abilities, their new way of life, the ghosts that had attacked them before were now helping them out. Ghostwriter had taken over a big chunk of teaching after he found books about the worldâs history and different cultures.Â
It wasnât until their fifth year, now rather used to this life, that they saw a ship coming their way for the first time. The ship carried with it a diplomatic party. In the years Danny had flown over to the continent again and again, learning about animals, seeing the land that was nearest to theirs and thus had been chosen to talk to the newcomers.Â
When the diplomatic party had been led through the town they were in awe as well as scared. These people lived not far from the most dangerous forest and yet they had incredible technology. Carriages with now animals to draw them, silently rolling or some even flying through the streets. Streets made from one big stone it seemed while living in equally big stone houses. It was this expedition's quest to visit the land behind the forest. They couldnât go through the forest, so they had taken a ship, only to be surprised that an island was on the horizon.
It was risky to change their route to the island instead of around the forest, but it would be best. Either they found new lands, or they found new people to trade with. The king was in a desperate situation while trying to build up a poor kingdom he inherited from his father who had run the country into the ground.Â
The island was big, and on it was a city bigger and taller than anything they had ever seen, the people living on it were not humans, they had glowing eyes, fangs, long ears. Identifiers from elves and demons, yet they didnât own the same coloring of the demons or the lithe statue of the elves.Â
Nothing about this city had prepared them for the person they met to talk to. The people living here could talk in their language in a broken and heavily accented way, but it was made clear that whoever they were to meet was important. So they stared at the big house and strange contraption on top of it, pressing a button and a sound came from inside the house. The door was opened by a tall woman, she invited them in, inside was more colorful than they had ever seen aside from palaces.Â
The house was not big enough for a palace, yet the inside would not lose out in itâs fancy design new to them. The woman told them to wait as she got someone to talk to them, when she reentered the room she was followed by a man even taller than her. Long dark hair braided back, even in the dirty clothes he was wearing and with dirt smeared on him he gave an imposing aura.
âAh, hello.â Of the group of outsiders a man at the front took a step forward and bowed before answering.
âGreetings, we are the delegation of the kingdom of Root. In the name of his majesty king Jovic the first of his name we would like to open trade with your kingdom.â Danny scratched his cheek, making eye contact with Jazz for a moment. She nodded.
âWelcome to Amity Park then, we arenât really a kin-â Jazz smiled as she stepped on his foot.
âI mean⊠Iâm Phantom, High King of the Infinite Realms.âÂ
âIâm Jasmine, his sister.â She turned towards what the group now knew as this islandâs king and started to talk to him in another language they had heard spoken by the people of the island. They seemed to discuss something before Jasmine took out a small device and proceeded to tap her finger on it, before putting it away.
âYou must be tired from the long journey, please follow the guard to your resting quarters. We will talk again tomorrow.â They were led out by the same people who had taken them to their king. When they entered the even taller building they were led to and brought up to a floor filled with doors and given keys with strange symbols on them they were confused.
âThe number on the key belongs to the number on the door.â A young woman said and showed them that the key would only work on the door with the same numbers on them. âSomeone will come and bring you food, they will knock on the door. Rest for today, tomorrow Phantom will send somebody to lead you to the town hall for talks.âÂ
The food they were served later in the day was incredible, spices were used freely as well as meat and a meat-free option. The rooms themselves were fit for a palace and came each with their own bathroom. There was flowing water coming from a pipe above a basin and the tub! Each room had it! They talked together until late in the night, they would need to ask for the technology tomorrow.
in case no oneâs told you in a while. you are valid.
