Eventually I Will Post Something I Made

The powers that got leaked were; intangibility, flight, ecto-blasts, frost breath, invisibility, and tactile telekinesis disguised as enhanced strength.

That was, naturally, huge. Those were some dangerous powers, and his mom and dad wanted to make sure he got all the help he could.

They signed him up for a Big Brother program run by the Justice League, to put him into contact with another super-powered hero to provide guidance. To help him get used to his powers.

Maybe take him on a few training runs.

Danny let it happen, and kept his ghost form a secret from his mentor as well. He knew that if he went full ghost, the powers he was already displaying would be magnified, and that terrified him.

Danny didn't use his ghost form at all if he could help it. He didn't like the concept of what it was, didn't like that it stripped him of his humanity, didn't like how it felt just as natural to him as his human form. What if he got stuck one day?

What if he used his powers so much, that he died for real?

The potential strength of his own powers scared him so much that his mentor spotted it, and Danny told a very abridged version of why he was so delicate with his own powers; that he'd gotten them from dying. That all of them were a form of death magic. That if he leaned too far into them, would he lose himself?

He didn't know.

He didn't want to find out.

He couldn't bring himself to tell his mentor about his ghost form, not wanting them to grieve a person still very much there.

His mentor, while not agreeing with fearing what was a part of him, did agree to take it slow with their trainings, so as not to overwhelm the fourteen year old.

But superheroes lead turbulent lives.

Danny and his mentor are on a training trip, and one of the mentors villains shows up. But the villain has a new tactic; they have a way to deflect all of Danny and his mentor's abilities.

Or at least the villain thinks they do.

Danny realizes that if he wants to get out of this alive, then ironically, he's going to have to die.

"...I have to win, right? No matter the cost." Danny mutters, dragging himself up.

"No. No, whatever you're about to do, don't!"

Danny ignores his mentor and, with a bright flash of light, lets the cool calm of death wash over him.

Danny goes ghost, in front of his mentor.

"Hey, man." Constantine stared at him straight on like he was crazy. "You can come through now."

Three days later Phantom presented the league with an alternative, he'd just call the King using the flip phone Tucker had fiddled with.

It took him 5 minutes to open a portal, hed never thought about how the ring made it so much easier.

Once finally finished he pulled out the phone and hit the 5 for speed dial.

Having a duplicate in another realm was different than a usual duplicate, he couldn't see through the eyes, or control it persay. It was just as much Danny as he was, but a simple change in perspective and treatment could change his response. In this case the lack of sincronicity would actually be helpful.

It also meant "his King" was honestly shocked when Phantom blurted out: "Nice outfit, d'you get the cape from party city?"

He didnt exactly want ti call himself regal looking, but the whole get up and his existence as the balance inbetween shone through a lot more with the crown and ring than his ice core normally did. "Hello, Phantom. An introduction, of any kind, would be helpful."

"Right yeah, the guy who looks like he just materialized from a ren faire is King Phantom, Bringer of Balance, the Chosen One, yadda yadda."

King Phantom's eye twitched, right on cue Batman interjected.

"I am Batman, Lady Gotham's Knight. It's a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness." Danny had told Batman to say that!

"Ah, you are Lady Gotham's. I should have known, your birds are all she talks about these days."

Batman looked over to Wonder Woman. "I am Diana, of Themyscira."

The King procured a tiny vase with a bow keeping the lid in place, "Pandora sends her wishes."

As they went through introductions painfully slowly Danny stopped paying attention.

By the time they got to actual negotiations Danny had been staring out into literal space for so long he wasn't sure what they were even talking about.

Which obviously meant that's when he'd be called for.

"BECAUSE YOU-" The King took a deep breath in and looked at Danny with dead eyes. "I know for a fact you love the ren faire, as does your beautiful girlfriend, Samantha."

"Phantom, I am painfully aware you dislike politics, but you are currently acting as an embassador for your realm." Danny stood tall as he watched his kingly self copy a pose Lancer had done done so many times while tired of Danny's shit.

"You could have gotten someone else."

He could feel Constantine step closer to him.

"Okay well,, hey."

Before Danny could insult himself back the magician told him to shut it.

"Hell blazer." He said it not like a question, more like a king calling for attention. "I appreciate the nagging, however i am fully aware of what Phantom is capable of. He is the second strongest in the realms, after all."

He's not totally sure the league knew that, but they did now. The whole 'existing as balance itself' meant he ended up with every power available to a realm's being... even if it could permanently damage his core. A thing he found out only after trying to use an electric blast that made him throw up.

"We're tied for first and you know it!" Constantine stared at him like he wanted to exorcize Phantom, since Danny wasn't sure if he could he added, "Your Majesty."

"Oh," it was weird seeing his face twist into that creepy, too wide grin, Sam thought it was wicked at least, "you're scared of someone here."

He heard someone behind him humm questioningly.

Danny muttered to himself some nonsense words with ghost speech thrown in, his duplicate took it and ran.

"Phantom." Oooo he sounded angry. "You cannot leave when YOU started this. I will finish negotiations, and then I am taking you back with me." His physical form shifted ever so slightly and the crowns spikes grew taller, casting dark shadows as it grew brighter.

The room dropped 20 degrees as Danny fought back. "That's not fair!"

Before things could get more heated, or well colder, Constantine cut off their line of sight to eachother, Batman pulled Danny to the back of the room and simply sat with him.

They waited THREE HOURS before everything was over.

True to his word, the King beckoned Phantom over and opened a portal without any movement betraying how he did it.

He shoved Danny through and followed after letting it close slowly to hear some ghost speak leak through.

Saying he was going to keep him in his keep for five years, just in case Dead Man could hear.

Once closed he laughed and pulled himself back together.
