Dan joined the Justice League after he got the all-clear on his mental state. It was nice being away from Amity Park and the Ghost Zone. And away from Danny. Even if he was Dani's mentor as she was in the kiddie league.
During a League meeting, a glowing green rift started opening up. Everyone but Dan was ready to fight whatever came out of it. Dan just sat there, waiting.
"Dan!" Danny cried, coming through the portal and closing it.
"No." Dan answered. The rest of the Leaguers looked confused.
"Come on! Please!" Danny asked.
"No."
"Do you know him, Wraith?" Superman asked cautiously. Dan didn't share much about himself, but they normally could get information from Dani.
"Yes!" "Unfortunately." Came Danny and Dan's replies simultaneously.
Danny made an affronted noise. "Unfortunately? We're technically the same person!" He cried before taking on a much calmer tone. "Which brings me to why I'm here-"
Dan cut him off smugly. "No."
"But, Dan!" Danny whined.
"Should have let me keep my timeline then."
"That timeline was horrible and you know it," Danny pouted. "Please. Just this once?"
"So..." Started Flash.
"What's he going on about?" Asked Green Lantern.
"He's the Ghost King. He wants me to take over his court duties," Dan explained. "Has tried to trick me and Phantasm into doing them for him multiple times. It never works, so I have no idea why he keeps trying."
"I didn't ask to be king," Danny pouted more, crossing his arms.
"Nope, you're doing great though." Dan's grin was just sharp enough for Danny to know that he was trying to egg him on. If he didn't start the fight then it couldn't be misconstrued as a bid for the crown.
"You-!" Danny cut himself off, eyes narrowing. "I know what you're doing and it's not going to work."
Dan just hummed looking at his nails.
"Can I bribe you into being king for the day?" Danny asked.
"No."
Danny threw his hands up. "Oh, come on!"
