Danny ”giggly Fear-Gas” Phantom

sure he's not on the moon, but he's in space! he meets and talks to aliens on a daily basis! he can just go out of the station, fly around and come back in! he is very happy with his job.

so when danny went back in the watchtower after fixing a panel outside, finding out that everyone was being mindcontrolled, and danny is the only one who was not affected because he was outside-

well, the only thing he could really do is put the watchtower on a lockdown, and hope someone from the outside notices something before it's too late.(no matter how slim the chances of that are, afterall, almost everyone in the justice league was present in the tower, some kind of urgent meeting)

they don't want a mindcontrolled superheros flying around afterall.

-

or: extremely depuffed engineer danny fenton is stuck alone in the watchtower with mindcontrolled superheros, he needs to save the heroes before it's too late, with only his invisiblity, minor ice powers, flight, and night vision in his arsenal, anything else would be too draining and risky, he doesn't have any ectoplasm here to support him afterall.

-

the first person danny tries to break free from the mind control is the red robin

"why me? why not batman, or superman?"

"you're the only one who I realisticly could pin down long enough to break the mind control..."

"....."

"oh uh-and of course because you're the smartest-"

"save it..."

"Is it okay with you if I pretend to be half Martian?" he asked. "It's just! I know it's wrong, and lying, but my species has been declared non-sapient and non-sentient, and we're being hunted. It would be... a lot safer, for me, if I could say I was a Martian."

J'onn paused. He needed to handle this carefully--

"I wanted to ask your permission first before just doing it because I know it's not exactly kosher to pretend to be a different species for the perks. I'm really sorry to even ask this, Mr. Manhunter. If I've offended you--"

"You have not," he said. "You have my permission."

"Seriously?! Thank you!"

"You are welcome, young one," he said. "However, I do have some questions for you before you go."

Particularly Invested, Indeed.

Considering how many times their missions end up with explosions can you imagine the chaos they would cause if they planned to cause property destruction?

GIW really won't know what hit them.

But also, if someone ever tried to go up to Martian Manhunter and say Danny isn't Martian, J'onn would enter such unimaginable level of gaslighting.

GIW: Give us the boy. J'onn: No. GIW: According to [insert bullshit law], we have sole custody of ghosts on American soil. Not giving him to us may result in your arrest sir, give him while we're friendly. J'onn: He's is not a ghost, that's my relative, keep your hands away from him. GIW: You are quite literally two different species, no matter what this scum tried to lie to you about. J'onn: Are we now? GIW: You literally have different powers. J'onn: Do we now? We both can fly, turn invisible and walk through walls. GIW: You can't throw ectoblasts? J'onn: Ectoblasts? Ah, you mean [insert how Martians could call it], that's interesting application of telekinesis, moving particles of air around our hands to raise their temperature until they turn into plasma and then throwing them. It's very precise technique, requiring a lot of training. We're all really proud he managed to master it at such young age. GIW:... GIW: Why isn't he green? Random passerby (M'gann): Oh my god Jared, you can't just ask people that!

and he's not used to the amount of the toxic ectoplasm in the environment... gotham doesn't have a very good filtration system, and the lady is overworked.. but that's ok! frostbite got him! as long as keeps a healthy halfa diet, his core will filter the ectoplasm around him! and he's a powerful halfa so-

other then that, gotham is great, he doesn't know how it earned that "doom and gloom" reputation really, the sun is shining, birds are chirping, and there are many butterflies around! everyone is so nice, he has not even encountered a single villain yet!

unless you count doctor pamela, wich he doesn't because she was so nice, even gave him tips on how to take care of his ghost plants!

aka danny is working as a filtration system for gotham, and lady gotham make sure he is treated like the fucking disney princess that he is, gotham recognize him as a good effect on her, and she is NOT letting anything/anyone touch him

aka danny is broadcasting whimsy and good vibes in gotham

aka dannys time in gotham is sunshine and rainbows(literally)

aka everyone in gotham is so sus, especially the bats

"You too?" Poison ivy said as Mrs. Freeze sighed wearing a different looking suit coded with miniatures moving golden hieroglyphs like code like shimmer.

"He figured out the cured to patty's heart of ice that I have yet to figured out." Mrs. Freeze said softly, promptly due to Patricia alive and well wearing a similar suit with little pharaoh playing with poison ivy's boy as they were building a little miniature saucers using pieces of solar telescope and Lego pieces.

He still don't know how this kid snuck in his base, but he wouldn't trade him for the world for bring his wife back, watching the little saucer floating in mid air as Patricia use the self made control to move it around.

Riddler sat in poison ivy with a cup of Chamomile tea in his hand. He was a normal clothed instead of his riddler getup, though he kept a question mark pen in his front pocket.

"I still trying to figure out how Batman's adoption addiction got spread around." Riddler mumbled in his tea. He had laughed hard the previous couple of months seeing Poison Ivy with a little feral robin bait.

Only for the riddler to find a little 9 year old orange haired girl two months ago who debunking his latest trap for batman and process to psychoanalysis him to the point of him crying curled up like a ball on the floor while being petted comfortly didn't helped.

Someone done messed up the natural order of things in gotham city, or the soon to be robin adoption baits are loose before batman can find them, roaming the city latching onto random people.

Batman is unfortunately not getting his little jasmine though, there is no refund fee or returns after seeing that little girl smiled brightly after he gave her a riddler theme teddy bear, and she gave him a handmade puzzle toy that took him 4 hours do figure out.

Poison ivy can look all smug as she wants, but she was right earlier about it being rather soothing on the inner child soul to entertain, considering he spent more time on a mystery crime board game while jasmine ramble about on the human curiosity and that the librarian was the one who did it.

Then again, if this was happening due to of out of control robin bait loose in the city, he should probably check up on scarecrow since he haven't been in the monthly villain meeting lately around the time he take a quick check up.

Meanwhile

Scarecrow walked awkwardly on the fact this obviously bat bait child refused to let go of his left leg after he accidentally lost a canister of experimental fear spray bottle in the warehouse, only to find a little girl trying to eat as much of the spray as possibly.

He more fascinated then annoyed on the fact the little girl is not phased by the fear canister or how she kept talking on how he smell really nice and she is Dani with an I and that scarecrow mask is really cool.

Poison Ivy knew she couldn't bare children due to the gifts she had received from mother nature, but she had a soft spot for gothamite children, sneaking them a basket of fresh fruits and veggies here and there make her feel warm inside.

She thought Batman had an robin adoption problem until she came back to one of her main greenhouse sanctuary hideouts to find a feral black haired toddler eating out of oversized watermelon like it was a feast.

Black hair, wild feral looks in his narrowing blue eyes as the toddler sniff a bit, inhaling a bit as he sneeze out a few snowflakes and watermelon seeds before stuffing another large handful of wet watermelon in his mouth.

Oh, oh, the robin adoption must be contagious.

The first week, she had tried to keep out that little feral robin adoption bait child with her sentient plants guarding her greenhouse, but the child appears like a ghost, stuffing his gourd with her fruits, and veggies, drinking some of her filtered clean water for plants.

The second week, she had tried to capture the child much to no luck, that kid disappears and reappear like a phantom or something..

By the third week, she got attached when she woke up to her nap to see that little boy curled up against her, clinging to her red hair, mumbling about jasmine.

And if she grew jasmine flowers in her hair that day, she answers Harley's questions about it as she revealed her little stray secret that was name Danny.

Her little sapling boy, her little autistic baby boy who boo like a ghost to nobody there while playing with a box, who hated toast bread but loves blueberries pancakes with maple syrup on top, who love spaces and the stars and up above, her baby with faint lichtenberg scar from his left hand across his body and a autopsy scar on his chest down to his stomach that made her cry ugly in Harley's arms after that first bath time.

Poison Ivy never knew maternal instincts harder about 7 months later as she held her baby close to her chest, stared down at Batman trapper in nearly a dozen pointy vines wrapped. The former space museum was a mess full of plants, three and four robins trapped in vines.

"...What?" Flash asks, protein bar halfway to his mouth. He's in the cafeteria of the Watchtower, and he's not the only one with his eyes pinned to the TV.

"I'm not sure I understand, Linda, can you clarify what they mean by that?" The male reporter asks, smile strained.

"Certainly, Todd. The Infinite Realms has stated that they do not believe that the United States of America is a real country, and as such, will not seek to make any deals or treaties with them."

Wonder Woman raises an eyebrow, leaning back in her seat.

"Then...then what do they think America is?" Todd asks from the TV, sounding a little desperate.

"Apparently, they view America as 'a collection of toddlers that bathe in money pretending like they own the world'."

Honestly? Power move would be to recognize the Tribes. Since according to THIER(Infinite Realms) records? They were there first. Sorry guys! You're illegal immigrants. We only recognize the RIGHTFUL governments of this land.

"That appears to be correct Todd."

"Then what, exactly, do they think is in-between Native lands? The ocean?"

"Apparently, as I clearly stated before, they believe it's a no mans land infested with toddlers that bathe in money and pretend they own the world."

"That doesn't make any sense!"

I know i see a lot of Danny hating the Joker on sight and immediately feral raccoon attacking him, but consider this - Joker has died a couple of times now.

Extremely liminal Joker seeing Danny and having his fight instincts kick in.

He'll be mid speech and race off to square up against this random guy.

Joker goes to walk past the coffee shop Danny's in and jumps through the window to attack him.

Joker is hiding from the Bats as he plants bombs in the sewers when he passes directly underneath Danny. He goes straight for the nearest manhole and climbs out to chase him down.

Meanwhile, Danny is taking these attacks entirely in human form. Joker is entirely hind-braining it, so the combat skills his mum taught him are enough to hold off the deranged clown until a Bat or a Bird can come and take him. He hasn't needed to go ghost or use any overtly obvious powers, so from the outside it looks like Joker has just decided to hate this one civilian in particular, and the civilian is using skills from self defence classes to survive the attacks.

Normally they wouldn’t dare use a civilian like that but Danny just seems annoyed by it more than anything and Joke has never been able to harm him so it works

But Joke starts something and just

Nightwing: “…..hey um sorry to bother you but would you mind-“

Danny: “You need me to run by and distract him long enough to release the hostages right?”

Red Robin: “I mean it would definitely help”

Danny: “*big sigh* …fine but y’all owe me one”

This just starts to become the norm and increasingly makes the Joker mad cause all his plans keep getting ruined but he also can’t seem to make himself stop.

The Bats just think they have a meta on their hand with a weirdly specific power

Gotham all just start to love Danny and treat him like a celebrity

Every single one of there reactions at one point just being:

“…Okay but HOW and WHY?!?!?!”

At the same time they just feel bad for Danny cause like of all the random ass powers to get he gets the one that attracts the one of the worst people

I also like to think that for whatever reason it doesn’t work on Jason or anyone else that’s been revived like that. Just because it’s so much funnier to me if it’s literally just the Joker that reacts.

He decided he wanted to be a little bit silly with it.

Now, all across reality, occultists and demons and anyone who was in-the-know on the Infinite Realms was privy to the knowledge of the new king.

King Phantom, The Child Killer

Meaning: The Child who killed the last king, the child who can and will kill to defend his people- and his people was Everyone In Reality. He was the King of All. He will not allow anyone to come to harm, and he will not allow anyone to conduct that harm.

Danny knows very well what people will assume his title means.

He’s counting on it.

Every so often a zealous megalomaniac decides they need the Ghost King to give them power, and what would the Child Killer want?

A child to kill.

He would never be able to stop people from trying to summon him, but he could control what they tried to offer to him. He could guarantee that only those who summon him were scum.

Anyone who chose to offer a living breathing child to what they assumed was a malevolent god of destruction and murder clearly wasn’t worth the breath it would take to ask “what do you want from me?”

So whenever Danny arrives to his summonings, faced with one or more innocent terrified faces, he wordlessly wraps them safely in a blanket made of stars..

Covering their eyes as he smites everyone in the room, leaving behind scorched earth and shadows of men who really Didn’t Have Any Idea Who. They. Were. Fucking. With.

When the Justice League catches wind of a dangerous entity called The Child Killer who slaughters cultists and disappears with the child sacrifices, they decide they don’t need any more information. Digging would waste time, and time was everything when a child was missing.

What they didn’t know was that Danny was feeding the children, clothing them, healing them- of course he would like to bring them home, but they don’t have any.

Each child was trafficked out of foster care by the cultists, or was being abused by their parent who was a cultist.

Even if they had never been taken into the circle, they would have surely died.

And no “hero” would have ever known.

No. Danny would not be returning the children, not unless they asked for it. Not unless they could come up with a safe place for them to go.

He puts funny little hats on himself, sometimes some little paper accessories (he doesn't want to put any kind of adhesive in his bones, that's just asking for damage- so no stickers, sadly).

Everyone he works with fully assumes it's just a prop skull.

Danny Fenton works at the Daily Planet in a corner where Clark Kent doesn't really frequent.

One day, he has to drop of some paperwork for Mr Fenton- who he's never met despite working together for the past two years, “shit just happens in a big office like that I guess” he says (though Clark swears he’s never heard a heartbeat or any kind of breathing from that office)- and Clark drops everything he's holding when he sees a child's skull on the desk, decorated with a festive pink ribbon patterned with different fruits.

Clark knows exactly what real bone pores look like, and he knows his enhanced sight isn't lying to him. It's either the best fake in this or any universe, or his coworker has a real human child's skull on his desk.

So Batman sneaks in and gets DNA and dental molds from this kid skull to try and track down the owner.

But surprising both Clark and Bruce it comes back….as Danny himself.

So now they think the Danny they know killed OG Danny and took his place

Clark then the next day at work uses his X-ray vision on Danny (which is something he hasn’t done and doesn’t like to use on normal coworkers cause it’s rude and creepy). But then he see that Danny has NO BONES!!!

They still don’t jump to the conclusion he’s a ghost but instead think he’s either some kind of alien or magical creature like a mimic or something that killed Danny (which partially true to be fair)

So next step they take is bring in a team that’s half could handle killer doppelgänger alien or mimic boy creature

I’m thinking Hal and Constantine - they hate it - but one knows aliens and the other magic shenanigans.

So the plan is just simple they go into the Daily Planet during work hours for an “interview” for Hal with his pilot stuff and info the gov has said about his earlier test flights and the Constantine acting as a suit there to make sure Hal doesn’t accidentally leak secrets.

They roll in the next day and immediately run into Danny and Constantine catch’s up pretty quick to what Danny is

After the meeting and later that night when they’re all debriefing Constantine just goes full

“So uhhh I don’t know how to tell you this but that child skull on Danny’s desk is just his own skull”

Superman: “…..what do you mean it’s his OWN skull?!!”

Constantine: “yeah your coworker has been dead for a while based on the skull and the person you know is a ghost that’s just keeping his bones close to himself”

JL: “…….😨”

Constantine: “he seems pretty harmless so you should be fine just let me know if he starts acting weird - oh and keep his bones safe too that way he doesn’t fly off the handle or just disappear”

Clark: “……oh….okay?”

Now Clark has to go to work and be around a coworker that he now knows is dead and has been since he was kid and try and act normal around him - he fails at this

Danny has to sit him down and get a half baked “oh my friend can sense ghosts and told me you were one and sorry I’ve been weird about it” from Clark

This has Danny bursting out laughing and having to explain to Clark he’s fine he just likes to mess around with his own skull for shits and giggles. Clark does calm down but now whenever an attack hits the Daily Planet he immediately goes and grabs Danny’s skull and puts it somewhere safe until the fights over (he just tells Danny he’s uhh friends with Clark and he asked him to do that - Danny knows it’s BS but doesn’t call him out on it - he gets it)

Bonus points though if Constantine already knew Danny and just didn’t realize they meant THAT Danny when they told him about the investigation

So he shows up clocks Danny and is like “oh hey Danny long time no see!!” Meanwhile Clark and Hal are there like 🧍🏼‍♂️🧍🏼

At the debriefing then Constantine is just like

“Y’all are fine that’s just Danny he’s nice and a protective spirit so you’re all good. He’s a little shit sometimes but nothing dangerous to regular people, just don’t piss him off. Tell you one thing though his death was rough when I found out. OSHA would have a field day in the lab he died in”

Superman: “…..what do you mean he died in a lab!!!! 😨😡”

And so everyone just sees Clark Kent running BACK into the burning building and people trying to stop him but unable to

And then a few minutes later seeing him run back out with the decorative skull Danny keeps on his desk

Everyone would just be like “????? It’s just a decoration why did you risk your life for a decoration?????”

And Clark is just there covered in soot holding the skull like “uhhhhh…cause it’s important to Danny???” (Danny who just happened to be out that specific day)

Now though Clark has to live with every one of his coworkers teasing him about being attached to the party city skull on Danny desk more so than Danny himself. They buy him an actual fake skull to match Danny’s “fake skull” as a joke

The skull brothers

He puts funny little hats on himself, sometimes some little paper accessories (he doesn't want to put any kind of adhesive in his bones, that's just asking for damage- so no stickers, sadly).

Everyone he works with fully assumes it's just a prop skull.

Danny Fenton works at the Daily Planet in a corner where Clark Kent doesn't really frequent.

So here's a fun thought: Consider a situation in which LBM is NOT, in fact, a tiny Danny, but a mimic blob ghost that has adopted his image as a form of Batesian self defense. Then imagine Danny's reaction to seeing some fucked up little uncanny valley cat version of himself with zero warning or context.

If its mimicry, that implies that other strong ghosts also have blob mimics. Danny is freaking out about this weird blob, takes it to frostbite, who just congratulates danny for achieving a perfectly normal milestone for a ghost - being strong enough to be mimicked by a blob.

Then danny freaks out about how this is definitely not a good thing, he absolutely cannot have blobs wandering amity. Angst potential of bad fenton parents, could you imagine how dissecting a blob mimicking phantom would reinforce their theories, or how awful it would be for danny himself to witness it? Conversely, humor potential with good fenton parents who insist on collecting every phantom-mimic they encounter until theres an army of them living in fentonworks.

I propose a functional pathway that causes this to happen: ghosts are made out of ectoplasm, and common headcanon that ectoplasm is made of and 'programmed' by emotions. The stronger the ghost, the stronger the imprint they leave on the surrounding ambient, 'claiming' the area as their haunt/lair/etc. 'Patrolling' the territory also helps reinforce this.

Danny regularly patrols amity, and semi-regularly visits allies in the zone. If we think of 'claimed ecto' like a lingering smell, amity park and the fenton portal are drenched in phantom's, as well as decently-upkept paths from the fenton portal to each of danny's allies.

Enter the blobs, who have no strong self-identity and probably very limited intelligence. Perhaps there isnt even any intelligence at all and theyre literally just amorphic blobs of goo. They come across the programmed ambient ecto of a stronger ghost and, if its strong enough, it causes a cascade change over the blob, imparting the traces of lingering programming onto it. This isnt just visual - the ghost's actual ectosignature is involved, and the blob will mimic it the best it can from the ambient sample it just absorbed. This is good for the blob, as other ghosts will struggle to differentiate the blob from the original ghost. It wouldnt be successful mimicry otherwise.

With this function, we can infer a few things. First, lets assume that the blobs are sapient enough to have a self-preservation instinct. They dont even have to start out with this as it could come prepackaged with the programming they absorbed. Once a blob has encountered an ambient ecto-signature strong enough to change them, they are incentivized to remain within the territory of the signature they are now mimicking. That incentivization is further strengthened by the 'programming' left behind by the other ghost, especially if we're headcononing that ghosts are naturally territorial. The blob's presence is also beneficial to the host ghost because the blob's wandering about the territory also helps maintain the ecto-signature in the ambient ecto, making the host appear much more present and vigilant in their territory from the perspective of an outside ghost wandering in.

Now lets add that wandering ghost, who may have entered the territory for a number of reasons, from just traveling through to making a deliberate challenge for territory. If the wandering ghost is stronger than the host ghost, they have a chance at turning the blob. There will probably be some resistance no matter what, as the self-preservation programming of the ecto will create some degree of resistance to outside influences. But ultimately, we've created a scenario where blobs naturally congregate in the territories of the strongest ghosts over time.

In order to create a stable ecosystem of blob migration, there needs to be contrary forces countering this instinct. Id imagine a lot of smaller things add up:

1. Blobs naturally wander, even with instinct keeping them in the mimicked territory, sometimes they still get lost.

2. Outside forces of random chance and environment disorient and knock the blob out of a territory

3. While blobs resist changing while in a mimicked territory, when outside any territory, its best to lose that mimic as fast as possible, as entering a new territory with the old signature can be misinterpreted as aggressive behavior of the mimicked ghost and attract danger to the blob (especially if the defending ghost is the 'attack first, investigate later' type, which is generally more common for weaker ghosts that depend on an element of surprise to punch above their weight class)

4. Ghosts can deliberately abduct blobs from the borders of other territories, bring them home, and induce them to turn for the reasons stated above. Stealing from larger territories with higher populations of blobs is easier than stealing the singular micro-managed blob of a weaker ghost, creating a counterbalance to the strongest and largest territories that scales with them.

5. Blobs can be given and gifted to allies as a point of culture, something akin to the cat distribution system. Stronger ghosts can 'bless' weaker ghosts with a boon of several blobs, for example. Neighbors can trade blobs with developed behaviors that clash with the way they run their territory but would work better for their neighbor. (Ie, the more wandery blob goes to the neighbor with a more enclosed territory, and the more aggressive blob goes to the neighbor with fewer natural boundaries and higher risk of aggressive claims against them.)

So, in no particular order:

Don’t imagine him grieving the life his most loyal companion should’ve lived.

Don’t imagine the bone-thick disgust when part of his is jealous his ‘friend’ never suffered the pains of adulthood.

Don’t imagine Bruce regretting all the times he blew up at this child even after he himself became an adult.

Don’t imagine Bruce wondering if he is considered as close a friend as ‘Danny’ is to him.

Don’t imagine him trying his best to reconcile for his ignorance, don’t imagine him grasping at revenge for “Daniel Fenton”.

Don't imagine Danny breaking a little more for not being there for Tim during the JJ because of this search

Don't imagine Danny vowing to never leave a robin alone, never again

Don't imagine Danny stopping the yj incident because no robin will be alone again
