Seeker of Light

The logical conclusion for when you want to write an arc but you forgot to make your protagonist interested in girls.

And there's nothing the Justice League can do to stop it.

As far as they can tell, it's magic. The magic probably relates to something Darkseid had said the last time they fought him, something about having more than one method of victory.

They don't have time to dive into it.

The Lantern Corps are going from planet to planet, pleading for anyone to accept Earth Refuges. The Justice League is working with all World Governments to make sure that people are ready for planetary evacuation.

The sun grows brighter. And hotter. And bigger.

Planets start to veer a little off course. The Earth's moon comes far close to the planet than it's supposed to.

Tsunamis are starting to happen instead of high tide. Earthquakes are becoming a norm. The increased mass and heat is ruining the delicate balance their system has, and if the Lantern Corps doesn't find a place soon, then they'll have to send everyone they can in random directions, and just hope they survive.

Then, on the morning where it's do or die, where whether or not the Lantern Corps found a place humanity would have to leave regardless, the sun...turns off.

Then it comes back on.

It looks normal.

The readings come back normal.

The planets, which had started to be pulled off course, are back in their original positions. The moon is just as far away as it's always been. In fact, the dates on their computers all read three days earlier.

Like they'd been thrown back in time.

As one, Earth realizes that it must have been the Flash that saved them. After all, that's the hero that can and will go through time if needed!

Flash is hailed as a hero, but...he didn't do this?

He asks his family.

None of them did this.

In Illinois, Danny rushes out of his parent's basement...and sees that it worked. Clockwork held up his end of the deal.

Time has been reversed by a few days, from before the moon was dragged closer. The replacement sun is functioning just fine.

As a baby Ancient, one that wasn't even fully dead yet, he'd been worried that he'd fucked it up. But no, the new sun he grew looks like it's doing fusion perfectly normally, happily chugging away in the sky.

Everything will be okay.

Now, Danny has to uphold his end of the deal.

Everything has a price. The Infinite Realms lost out on a lot of souls from what Danny just did, after all. It's only fair he offer something in return.

He has to move into the Infinite Realms, permanently, and accept his apparently earned title of High King.

The last thing he's allowed to do on Earth is to give his summoning sigil to a man named John Constantine, along with a note from Clockwork.

Okay. Im just gonna say it ...

We need Jon x Danny Fics. Please 🥺

I've been drowning in the DP/Batman fic (for 2+ yrs) and I get it, Bio-son, run away post vivisection, etc. The list goes on. But why aren't there any Jon/Danny? The lad is canonically gay. Sure Tim is great. I love the Brain dead fic. There's also the Dead on Main (Jason/Danny)

But for the Twin fics, why can't Danny Romance Jon.

Here is a list of my ideas:

- Summoning: His summoning works ONLY if you usea Half Human, Half Alien blood as a conduit. Sure Conner may work but he's a clone and therefore his bloodwork is a bit glitch.

-Demon twin is a Wingman: the emotionaly constipated and temperflaring twin is stumbling as he tries to set up Jon and Danny. Sure he can ask his siblings (Tim, since he got experience dating the same gender, or Dick since he humps almost anything that moves that can beat him up) but he's the son Of Batman and Talia Al Ghul. This should be a piece of cake. Right?

-Celebrity: After the events of Phantom planet, where Danny didn't end up with Sam, Lois Lane sets off to interview the Half ghost, bringing her apprentice/assistant/Son Jon since it was. Bring your teenager to work day. Sparks fly when they met.

-TV&Comic Idol: Danny is a Cartoon in the DC verse and Jon is a Comic series in the Phantom verse. They are each other's Idols and Sexual awakening.

-Lost Memories: When Jon disappeared in space he found himself in the infinite realms and started a life with Danny but was booted out (any reason) and his memories was locked up. Here come Danny searching the Infinite multiverse for the Jon that is the love of his life. Along the way, encountering different versions of Jon that for some reason fall for him too (briefly)

In any of you know any fics about this please tag or comment them.

So! This is an AU where Dan is Trigon, and Ellie joined the Teen Titans. It's not really a Story, but I thought it was funny.

...

Robin: I have a Question for the two of you.

Ellie: What's up?

Raven: Hm?

Robin: You guys call eachother Sisters, Cousins, and in one case you called eachother Aunt and Niece. What's your exact relation?

Ellie: Well that's tricky. See, my Dad is the King of the Infinite Realms, and his true name is Danny. Raven's dad is Trigon, but his true name is Dante.

Robin: And are Danny and Dante brothers?

Raven: No, not technically. See, Dante is an Evil Alternate Future Version of Danny, so they are technically the same Person. But then Dante came to the past, got beaten by Danny, and got shoved into a Mortal body for a while.

Ellie: If that was all, they we could just call eachother Sisters or Cousins. Our Dad's are technically the Same Person, but they consider eachother Brothers.

Raven: Except Ellie isn't a normal daughter.

Robin: What? How?

Ellie: I'm technically a Clone if Danny, not his Daughter. So I'm simultaneously Raven's Sister, Cousin, and Parent since I'm a Copy of a version of her Dad, but I could also be considered her Aunt since Danny and I called eachother siblings before we decided I was his Daughter.

Raven: So Ellie is my Sister/Cousin/Aunt/Mom/Dad.

What if the Wayne's are looking through the #onlyingotham tag on Twitter and see a post from a Gotham citizen

Gotham Citizen: Just summoned the ghost king and got an info dump on space. He said if I know anyone who would appreciate this to show them how I summoned him as my summon has been his most comfortable one so far.

The bat starts checking the comments and sees others responding asking for the summon and then posting that the ghost king is there new favorite astronomy teacher.

One day Gotham Academy announces that their astronomy teacher has become a new rogue and that they have summoned the ghost king (Danny is in his twenties and lives off patents at this time) to teach and protect the class in exchange for the usual teacher salary (and a free monthly meal of batburger.) So a ghost now teaches at Gotham academy and the rogue are slowly but surely being taught to be very afraid of attacking him and the academy.

What if Danny gets a grant or scholarship at Central City University?

What if Danny gets an internship job as an assistant Forensic Scientist at the Central City Police Department?

Ok so hear me out:

The Rouges in Central City are much more chill and jokey than most superhero protected cities and have a good relationship with The Flash and would remind Danny of Amnity in that sense.

Danny’s entire obsession with protection and also a likely mentality of “Police and law enforcement have been horrible to me in the past so I will do everything I can to make sure what happens to me happens to no one else” would make him strive to be an honest protector of the people. He could be a cop and Barry Allen works with him because he knows that Danny isn’t corrupt. A reverse Batman and Jim Gordon if you will. He could also be a Forensic Scientist that recently joined CCPD and Barry Allen is assigned to be his mentor to show him the ropes. Either way The Flash grows to respect and care for this really strange kid who’s eyes sometimes look green as a trick of the light.

Danny using his powers to help solve murders, crimes, and ghostly shenanigans in Central City by talking to the local paranormal entities and recently deceased and pretending that he just is really really good at his job (well he is, but he has a bit of ghostly help.)

The Flash and Kid Flash notice this strange white haired meta zipping around and go to meet him and find out that he’s roughly Wally’s age. The speed force feels a bit strange around this kid, Like he’s been a part of multiple time altering changes. He doesn’t seem malicious though and the kid is really funny so Barry is going to let this ghostly meta do his own thing.

Phantom and The Flash start teaming up. Having an extra person in a battle is always nice. The Flash also notices that this Phantom kid is always DELIGHTED to fight Captain Cold. What The Flash expected to be a long battle that would end in almost frostbite and a long night with little to no sleep ended up being a five minute excursion. The Phantom reveling in the low temperatures and freezing Captain Cold’s cold gun and feet with a more crystalline and shinier type of ice. Instantly ending the battle.

Phantom fights Abra Kadabra and loudly complains to Abra while fighting how stupid Abra’s gimmick is and that it doesn’t look like real magic.

Phantom helps dismantle Weather Wizards plan to blot out the sun by simply turning the giant storm clouds that the Wizard summoned into snow.

The Flash is completely dumbfounded when the Reverse Flash shows up at his work, taunts Barry Allen, when Phantom comes out of nowhere, possesses The Reverse Flash, who then asks the location of the nearest containment facility that’ll house a speedster. Danny/Reverse Flash proceeds to run himself to the location, lock himself in, and exit Thawne’s body. The amount of awe Barry feels can’t even be put to words. Barry Allen’s arch nemesis. Defeated by a ghostly kid who has bi weekly hangouts with his nephew to binge watch D-list horror movies. What the fuck.

Danny has a great relationship with Barry. The two quickly bond over being quippy and aren’t annoyed when the other is consistently late to every possible meet up. Danny is incredibly dexterous and knows his way around the lab and Barry is happy to chat with someone who happily will talk back and ramble on about their life and has a genuine want to help others.

If Barry asks Batman on tips with how to take care of an overworked and constantly exhausted kid that’s between him and the Bat.

They definitely know all the cops in Central, and I feel like they definitely pull heists to welcome the newbies— maybe they Go-Big-Go-Home it, maybe they go easy on the newbie, but they are meticulous about making sure the newbie is on the scene, and if newbie doesn’t get to slap cuffs on at least one Rogue, it will become a reoccurring problem. Honestly, CCPD definitely considers it part of the hazing. You Have to respond to the first Rogues heist, and you Have to slap the cuffs on one of the Rogues (they usually try to make sure it’s the first or last Rogue captured, so everyone can get it on camera— because of this, I imagine that the Rogues definitely get the photos framed and hung up in their hideouts).

Anyway, I think Danny’s first heist was an accident. Danny had gone out to run some errands, and for some reason he ends up getting stuck in the middle of a heist designed as prep for Danny’s hazing.

Heh, Snart and Barry holding shared custody. XD

He has...a strange request.

He's nervous, flustered, fading in and out of the visible spectrum. It's clear that what he's about to ask of her is important to him, and even though she has an uncomfortable voice in the back of her head telling her this young hero is about to ask her out, she resolves to listen before she jumps to conclusions.

She's glad she did.

"Can...can you put a grave for me in Themyscira? I know it's just for women, but it's the safest place I can think of for it! I just...I don't have a grave, and Clockwork says it's starting to stunt my growth as a Ghost, and I have too many enemies on American soil, so. It's okay if you say no, though, I'll figure something out, it's fine."

Diana lets him ramble to the end, already knowing what her answer is going to be.

"We would be honored to host your grave, Phantom. Do you have any remains I can take home? Do you require a funeral service?"

Phantom looks...he looks beyond grateful. Close to tears.

"No, no remains. A symbolic grave is fine, it just. It has to have my real name on it, my mortal one." He says, looking hesitant. "Please don't reach out to my family, Wonder Woman. They don't know."

With that, he hands over a small slip of paper, torn from a notebook and clearly folded one too many times.

She takes it as though he were entrusting her with the rarest diamond in the world. She wants to, but she does not ask how they could not notice the death of someone so very bright.

Instead she nods, tucking the paper away.

Mostly because she is an Amazon and lived in this society for majority of her life. What does this change in this situation? Amazons are based on Ancient Greeks and from what little I know about their funerary traditions (I should change it ig, gimme links if you have something good), they were quite different from nowadays. Like, they gave their dead a coin (or three I haven't read reliable source on that and what I did contradicts each other) so they could get a ride on Charon's boat. There is probably much more to it but once again, I have no idea. But the thing is, I don't think they actually were giving their dead any flowers. So for Diana, Amazon born and raised, when she has to show a respect to the dead flowers aren't first instinct. So this means she repeatedly went out of her way to honor him in a way appropriate to his culture.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love idea of people honoring Danny in a way appropriate to their culture, I brought up this idea literally yesterday on other prompt but I need you all to see how absolutely precious it is this way.

A Dead Kid who asked for a Place Of Safety where no one could harm his resting place. Who's OWN FAMILY didn't even notice he was dead.

......Not On Their Watch. *slaps down adoption papers in front of the grave* Honey! I adopted the dead kid!

Just? Imagine it? A whole island of immortal bamf warrior women. Casually stopping by this child's grave. They don't know him, he's not one of their's, but they care because he is a child. That should be reason enough. He lived and now is dead.

Y’all, the thought of all those women just casually patting Danny’s grave as they walk past? The gentle touches, do you think he feels them? Does he feel them like a mother carding her fingers through their beloved child’s hair?

I bet Diana tells them his hero name, so whenever he is injured, a few dedicated women do maintainance, such as cleaning, re carving, and replacing and washing worn-out offerings.

This boosts his recovery and gives him extra strength.

They won't fail him, just like they don't fail any of their other fallen sisters and mothers.

His grave will be kept sacred and holy, until he wishes to rest.

I GOT INSPIRED BY THIS AND DIDN'T MEAN TO SPEND 5 HOURS DRAWING THIS LMAO

Danny probably hears the people who touch his gave, the sudden words telling him to rest well, that he's fought long enough and he's loved would move him to tears.

Edit: i use @shewhowillrise

The Justice League was choosing their head engineer. They had a few contenders. One being the top student in engineering at Gotham University, even has a scholarship through Jason Wayne’s Scholarship for Underperforming Students. Bruce Wayne has started it after adopting Jason and seeing how smart he was but also how much he struggled in school.

Daniel Fenton lived on the same street as the Monarch Theatre, the same street he found Jason.

Batman couldn’t help but think Daniel was what Jason could have been if he was able to finish school and head off too college.

Batman knocked on the apartment door, not at all surprised at how fast it opened. When setting up the meeting, he could hear the excitement over the phone.

“Hello Batman Sir!” Daniel greeted, holding out a hand. He had a strong firm grip, reminded him of Clark’s. Possibly a meta, which is a plus. With what the kid might encounter while building or making repairs, a meta gene would be good to have, especially strength.

And over the meeting Batman fell more and more in love with the kid’s enthusiasm. Without the guarantee of the job, the kid was ready to give some ideas (that would amazing) incase the League would need them.

The meeting was supposed to be an hour but soon he noticed that the sun was low.

Batman sat up straighter upon hearing a key turn in the lock.

“Oh that’s my partner, sorry, I would I have warned you but I didn’t realize the meeting was going to be this long,” Danny (only creepy billionaires call me Daniel) said, which Batman also noted that he tried his best not to blame Batman for going over the allotted time. Kid’s respectful too.

“Hey Stardust how’d the meeting I’m not supposed to know about go? I’m sure whatever words you stumbled over the Bat didn’t hold it against you for being nerv-” the disembodied voice walks into the dining room, and freezes in surprise before collecting himself, an easy smile going on his face while wiping grease stained hands on his grease stained jeans and stuck one out to shake.

“Hi, I’m Jaylad Peters,” he says but Batman doesn’t take the hand offered. He doesn’t react at all.
