Hello!

so much cheap generic medication. reverse engineering compounds would be even more financially profitable.

fewer people dead of vaccine preventable illnesses in the global south bc the greatest barrier to distributing some vaccines like hpv is their ip

plant seeds and grafts that come from the plants instead of licensing them. don't invest so much in preventing cross contamination. more localised experimental breeding.

library of the world: every book and journal article in the world could be digitised and be searchable for every person in the world to read regardless of where they live. cheap reprint runs and local translations everywhere.

an online interface where every citation could actually lead to the text in question

freedom from the hell that is DRM software

everytime someone reverse engineered your shitty proprietary software we would all be freed from it instead of them getting DMCA'd

so much hardware would be opened up & therefore made so much cooler.

so many more songs that riff off and sample and interpolate shit from this decade instead of like 70 years ago and more analysis of music that didn't keep getting nuked off the internet

preserving movies and tv shows and games as long as someone, somewhere has the desire to host them

just go publish your fanfic/art/vid as is instead of all us pretending it isn't fanwork or begging the corporation for mercy / licensing

An amorphous black blob thingy that shape-shifts into any hazard related thing.

With that in mind :

Danny couldn't believe it. The Justice League page has finally added Amity Park as a known hotspot to their networks, and has HIM listed as a VILLAIN! HIM!!!

After the amount effort and desperation he's been through, at first trying to get a message for help out to the Justice League, then digging deep and taking care of things himself. (53 phone calls, 129 emails, 2 (ghost) carrier pigeons and the time he tried the Boo-merang while sleep deprived and knocked himself out)

Danny is done. These assholes won't even shut down the GiW or repeal the Anti-Ecto acts.

In my mind Danny was Sir Not Appearing in this Film. Setting some basic rules for the ghosts so Amity is still standing when he gets back. Beyond that, have fun guys, let's go Little Comet! (Ellie: :D)

Slight problem with that. Danny always beat the ghosts before they could get situated in Amity let alone travel elsewhere.

The JL and Young Justice haven't heard from Red Huntress in a while, and now with these ghost entities travelling to other cities and causing problems they need her expertise, so they assume something has gone wrong.

They arrive in Amity. It looks like a war zone, Val is covered in plenty of mud 4 other substances. Her suit looks trashed, her hair has the Murder Frizz going.

"WHAT DID YOU DO!?"

"What? Red Huntress are you al-"

"NO. I am NOT ok. I would like an explanation for this!"

Before he left, Danny meticulously wrote a 4000 page contract for the Justice League covering Every. Single. Issue that he has with them. And he's not returning to superheroing until that gets signed.

He has sacrificed his time, his GPA and chances at even graduating high school. His sleep. His relationship with his family. His dream career. Hell he's even been suckered out of having a responsibility free afterlife. All so the JL can call him a Villain? Nah, F that.

That 4000 page contract not only covers his demands as King for repealing the Anti-Ecto laws and the non negotiable public arrests of every single politician and GiW agent, including public apologies and retractions, it also contains the breakdown for wages owed to Danny by the Justice League as a subcontractor.

After all he's been on call 24/7, as a front line fighter while keeping public order(National Guard) , emergency first responder, an Ecto-Scientist, and a variety of other roles. When including danger pay, overtime, increased pay to afford tutors due to superhero commitments causing issues with school and compounding interest. Danny calculated that the Justice League owes him $148 million dollars in back pay and owed wages.

And worst of all?

JL: phantom was a hero that died in the line of duty? Oh no, he deserves to be put to rest!

Valerie: i swear to the ancients if i have to track down phantom because you idiots exorcized my most competent patrol buddy, i will personally deposit him on the watchtower to exact his revenge on you for labelling him a rogue.

Also, what if the jl sees valerie struggling and get the bright idea to summon the ghost king to figure out how to manage the ghosts better? (Instead of, ya know, asking valerie - or even just straight up dismissing her input. Maybe they think she's too jaded and believe they're doing her a favor.)

Im imagining danny has a few options:

1: show up as phantom, watch them squirm while they do the mental calculus on how many orders of magnitude more powerful than them this "b-tier rogue" actually is, and see whether or not they realize that if he actually was the villain, he would have leveled them a dozen times over by now.

2. Show up in an eldritch form that they wont connect to phantom, and when they ask what can be done about the ghost problem, ask if theyve read phantoms 4000 page missive about the situation yet, and not to bother him until theyve gotten things squared away with his embassator. He's not interested in peace talks with parties that cant be bothered to do their research. Its a waste of time and he has too much shit to do. Watch them squirm as they realize that the two-bit rogue was the only one preventing interdimensional war.

“We do not have time for you to deal with a booty call right now, Constantine,” Batman snarled.

“Did Spooky just use the phrase booty call??” Flash whispered in amused shock to Green Lantern.

“Yes, Your Majesty, I am putting you on speakerphone,” Constantine announced loudly, giving dirty looks at the others.

“Your Majesty, we were trying to summon you—“ Batman began but got shut down.

“I know, I felt the tug. But as my sister is presently stitching me up from my most recent battle and pain killers do not work on me, brevity is the soul of wit.”

“Ah, apologies. We were wondering—“

Constantine was interrupted by Batman. “Stitches? Why not go to a hospital or infirmary?”

“If you would have actually read the report that I literally shed blood, sweat, and tears over, you would know. You are known as the world’s greatest detective, Batman. Please do your research first. I even used size 14 font in Open Dyslexic to make it easier.

“Are there any questions that I could answer that I DIDN’T include in said document?”

Superman cleared his throat. “I was looking at the expenses portion and it listed medical expenses for your partner, yet none for you. Am I to take it that today is the first time you have sustained damage?”

A dark, mirthless laugh seemed to echo through the room, eerie and unearthly and ricocheting from every corner of the conference room.

“I was the first victim. Did you notice the three years of tutoring, etc.? I was the first victim. A piece of equipment exploded while I was in the middle of it. Do you know how agonizing it is to feel enough energy to power a decently size suburban community ripping all of your molecules apart and all you can do is scream? Even the teardrops and… other fluids are electrically charged.

“And then, instead of the sweet mercy of death, your molecules reform as if magnetically charged, but there’s something wrong with them. And if you don’t hide it, you have to worry about the government or your parents finding out because they’ll do something similar, only they’ll find a way to make sure their project doesn’t escape and that they can make lots of notes.”

His voice broke at the end, and they heard, “it’s alright, I gotcha. Mom and Dad aren’t laying a single damn finger on you again. When I get to go to college, you are kidnapping you if I gotta drag your scrawny butt along. I have already notified the most important ones. Frostbite was relieved to hear we were moving. I think he was planning a council of elders to talk to Mom and Dad otherwise. You know how important baby ghosts are anyway, and one that defeated Pariah Dark in a knock down drag out—“

“WAIT! HE DID WHAT?!!” Constantine’s voice sounded slightly shrill.

I don't think he'd go full Villain in response, but definitly would wave it in Valerie's face if she ever wonders why his behavior changed. She's bound to notice things in amity get worse when he stops being around.

That raises the question of how everyone else would react. Would the Justice league realize their mistake or no? Would Valerie change her mind on the Phantom "Menace"?

How long would Danny last in keeping out of things before the chaos of no Phantom to protect amity forces him to act again?

Or would he just float around making it EVERYONES business that he's been labeled as a villain and therefore is staying out of things? As he watches other ghosts wreak havoc and destruction, phantom comes to watch but does absolutely nothing. People ARE going to ask why he isn't doing anything. Perfect time to shove it in their faces

______

Technus is wreaking havoc in the city, ranting about tech domination. Red Huntress is fighting him. He keeps trying to take control of her tech. She's not making much headway

Random civilian that is on the fence about supporting Danny: Phantom, why are you watching? Aren't you going to stop technus?

Danny, eating popcorn in full view as he watches the spectacle: Nah, the justice league labeled me a Villain. Villains don't "Help people"

•••••••••

If things get out of hand, Danny steps in and finishes things super easily, capturing technus in the fenton thermos without a sweat

Danny: oh, but I'm sorry, I'm a Villain aren't I? So maybe I should just *goes to release Technus from thermos*

Everyone:NOO

Meanwhile Valerie is now working way harder as so many more ghosts are being problematic and her most annoying ghost is no where to be seen OR only showing up to watch her fight ghosts that he used to fight all the time(mind you this is all under the assumption that Valerie doesn't know Danny is Phantom, hates phantom but does acknowledge his efforts in helping amity.)

Danny: man, sure would be nice for you if there was another hero here to help you!

Valerie: *shoots phantom*

Danny: *doges* but alas, I'm just another pesky ghost huh

Danny: not like I'm the sole reason that amity still exists

Danny: I never defeated basically any ghost who comes to amity part seeking to cause chaos and destruction.

Danny: I never defeated Undergrowth when he covered the world in his vines and possessed Sam Manson

Danny: I never defeated Vortex when Plasmius set him free and sentenced the world to natural disaster level storms

Danny: I never defeated the Ghost King Pariah Dark after he claimed amity park as his territory, bringing the entire town into the ghost zone after Plasmius woke him from his forced sleep to steal his crown and ring.

The jl get full hd of phantom floating off to the side eating popcorn, occassionally throwing it half-heartedly at whatever ghost valerie is struggling with when she asks for him to tag in, any time now would be great, asshole, and phantom just remarks that he cant because apparently he's a villian.

Red huntress is not here to train at the watchtower or take advise. She is here to drag whoever made the mistake of labeling phantom a rogue without ever consulting her - the designated expert that they themselves recognized for amity park - down to amity to opologize to phantom to his face.

Right now red huntress's biggest problem isnt lack of critique from fellow heroes, her biggest problem is that someone offended her work partner and labelled not only amity parks, but all of earth's biggest line of defense against the realms biggest threats. She needs her partner back yesterday, and she's ready to ream whoever makes this take longer than absolutely necessary to fix.

“Did she just write ‘yeti doctor’?”

Bruce’s head snaps up at Steph’s voice, looking once again at the letter on the screen. “Dear Mister Wayne,” it reads, and that is where normalcy ends. “Thank you so much for taking in Danny, I was so worried when he had to escape our parents.” Which is already an extremely worrying sentence. Made even more worrisome with the fact that there is no Danny currently residing in his manor.

His family is in chaos. Tim has three screens in front of him, ranting about living firewalls to Barbara, while Dick leans over his shoulder.

Alfred has lifted a thick three-ring binder out of the care package that this Jasmine Nightingale has sent them, and is flipping through it. Apparently this binder contains all of the medical, psychological, and cultural information needed to make sure that Danny’s species can thrive. Because the missing teen that should be in his manor is not human, but some sort of human/ghost hybrid.

“Father, I think this warrants an emergency meeting with the Justice League.” His youngest says. “There is currently a government agency hunting Cujo and Daniel, citing laws that directly counter the Meta Human Protection Acts. This cannot stand.” Cujo, the green glowing, 10 foot ghostdog that delivered the package and letter this morning by density shifting into the dining room during breakfast. Damian was of course attached.

“Uh, Alfred?” Duke starts form where he and Jason have been emptying the care package, “there’s a huge first aid kit here, but most of it is glowing.” Jason, of course, is turning the high tech laser pistols over in his hands, getting a feel for the handling and grip.

Bruce let’s his eyes skim over the letter again, his eyes catching on words like “Ghost King”, “Infinite Realms”, and “vivisection”. “I know it takes Danny a while to open up,” the letter reads, “so I’m beyond grateful that he feels safe enough with you.” Except he doesn’t, because Danny is not here. Somewhere out on the streets of Gotham is a half dead teenager, hurt and alone. And Bruce didn’t know. Didn’t know any of it until his sister sent him a care package, because apparently this kid has lied to his sister that he’s safe, that he found somewhere to stay.

He doesn’t notice the sudden hush behind him until Jason breaks it. “Is that fucking Lazarus Water?!” Bruce lowers his head back into his hands.

“I will prepare a room for the young master.” Alfred sniffs as his footsteps go towards the elevator. “I’m finding this kid.” Jason answers, leaving towards the lockers “Wait, Little Wing! I’m coming with!” Well, at least Dick can hopefully keep Jason in line. He prays to Rao this doesn’t mean he has to deal with a half-ghost, immensely powerful teen that struggles with Pit Rage.

Skully is the ultimate dead roommate/wingman combo! :D And he likes you too! :DD

SKULLY FACTS:

-Lore has no idea who or what the smoky skeleton fart is. He just sort of moved in one day. But he isn't chatty and doesn't mind washing the dishes, so he can stay.

-Skully is here because Lore ate him.

-Lore was not aware of this.
