Nerd Paradise

The justice league is now responsible for the GIW’s top scientists’ personal pet project, an attempt to cure a condition the League has never heard of and can’t get much information on beyond what they’re expected to do to keep them healthy and the treatment going in their medical wing.

Injecting non-meta human blood by the liter into a 14 year old boy, while bleeding bright green sludge from him- to hopefully completely eliminate his ecto-contamination.

The boy is lethargic and completely non-responsive at all times. They’re told ectoplasm makes people violent and that its removal is what causes the coma, and of course they immediately jump to Lazarus pits. It looks the same and sounds the same, and chemical analysis shows the similarities.

Bruce hopes this could be the answer to fixing- helping Jason.

The Justice League Dark is not involved, as surely the League knows all there is to know about the Lazarus pits, and the directions from the scientists are perfectly straightforward.

DANNYMAY DAY 28: Adventure

Day 27 ⟡ Day 29

(inspired by the backrooms surge going on)

Here, Danny gets dragged into the portal alone, leaving everyone but the Fenton couple convinced he's dead. What the public knows is that one morning, the Fenton house woke up with one less kid and a human outline of ash in a burnt out portal frame.

The couple tried everything they could to get the portal going again, convinced they could pull him back out, that he was alive. They eventually gave up.

Meanwhile, Danny fell into this AU's version of the ghost zone: an endlessly sprawling collage of the memories of locations. Empty malls, after dark schools, camera-flash lit homes, silent water parks, a motel with humming lights, large empty plains, and concrete buildings full of sunlight and flowers.

Sometimes he's being chased by something he can't see, sometimes he isn't. Sometimes there's light and sound to fill a space, sometimes there isn't. Sometimes there's water and fruit, sometimes he has to pick for fries at the bottom of a ball pit.

The longer he's there, the more he changes.

His hair starts slowly whitening in patches, like scars, and his body starts moving in ways it shouldn't be able to. He starts knowing what's next.

Eventually he makes it out somehow, slipping back through, but it's been 5 years. Jazz left, blaming her parents and their obsession for his death, pursuing a masters in psychology. Sam and Tucker are in college now, tutored occasionally by Jazz over video, and his parents moved out of the house. He doesn't know where anyone he knew is.

He lurks around the city, especially his old neighborhood, and becomes a local cryptid and horror story.

People say it appears at night, wandering the city. Reflective eyes standing almost 6 feet off the ground in the middle of a park. The police have received several calls for something in people's yards or on their roofs, but every time they try and track down the repeat offender for trespassing and disturbance of the peace, it's nowhere to be found.

It never hurts anyone, but it moves wrong, acts wrong, people don't like looking at it, and they especially don't like it looking at them. Unfortunately that's exactly what it tends to do, and quite often.

Danny's just kind of lost on what to do and has defaulted to observing the town like he used to observe the liminal space. He's got -5 social skills and most of his unsettling silence is simply because he is too anxious to talk to anyone because he has only been talking to himself, as well as the occasional benign creature, for 5 years

He wants to reconnect with his family, with Sam and Tucker, but he doesn't know where anyone is, and as far as anyone knows, he's a stranger. A very ominous, very unsettling to look at stranger. So it's not as if anyone is begging to get close enough to him for him to actually ask any questions, so again, he's observing and hoping he can glean any amount of information from doing so

Behavior wise, he's basically a deer with a raccoon scavenging habit: Tall, easy to startle, stares into your soul, and rummages through your food scraps. I imagine he's probably been hit with a car once or twice because he keeps forgetting these streets are actually in use

@leilakeila and @yowuw had the brilliant suggestion that one of the attractions at adult Danny's tourist trap would be a blob-ghost petting zoo, and the Cujo could be the shop's mascot and security.

All I heard was that Cujo was there and I knew what I had to do.

CHAPTER SEVEN

CHAPTER 7: Just a Walk in the Park

????:”You know, I think the thing I miss the most about life prior to my accident is the mundane. I'd never let them know it but those days I spent with Jack and Maddie were swell and in a way they really helped me stay in touch with my humanity. Can't say that that remained after my accident. Things were so hectic that even something as simple as taking a walk came with some kind of turmoil and well it only grew more difficult from then.”

If you know the story of DeadPlants, then you can skip this part. But if ya don't, quick summary! DeadPlants.mp4 on YouTube tells the classic creepypasta story of a guy finding a free PVZ Game, only to find out later that it was haunted.

But unlike others where the monster attacks you - instead, the ghost haunting the game is a Mother who passed away and began haunting her daughter's favorite video game, PVZ. In the hopes her Darling will find the game, and they can have one last conversation before she moves on.

She sadly mistakes you - the watcher - as her daughter. She doesn't know, nor do you have the heart to tell them as she disappears from the haunted game. So then, I had this thought.

What if the Mother came back as a Ghost in the Infinite Realms? What if she had the appearance of the usual white-peashooter? What if she wanted to see her daughter one last time?

She woke up years later as a Ghost in the Infinite, and while she didn't initially have a form - the last memories of her daughter before her unexpected passing was playing with her favorite game, PVZ. So she took the form of a Peashooter ... well, with her form as the white-colored peashooter - and MUCH larger.

She was in the Infinite Realms, growing accostomed to the place, but she misses her daughter. She wants to talk to her, one last talk. And then she hears it - long after Pariah Dark has been sealed and Danny is the Ghost King ... and part of the Justice League.

She is that desperate to talk to her daughter one last time - and after appealing to Danny, he brings it up to the next meeting with the JL, bringing her along. When she shows up, everyone is obviously freaked out by the MUCH scarier appearance that she has, but calm down once they hear about her plight.

But once they ask who exactly is she the mother of ... they all stare at Batman.

These are the shadow prints left behind from victims of the Hiroshima bombing, a bright flash of radiation left these images behind. What if the same happened inside the portal?

Fanart for RedFlagShip’s fic Housetrained on AO3, where Danny is turned into a cat and adopted by Damien. This writer’s works are so, so funny. They are so dense with humor I can only describe them as devastatingly effective.

Danny was finally growing into his father’s height, but because of his powers and spending most of his ‘active’ time in his ghost form, he wasn’t developing the muscles that his father and Dan sported. Not wanting to look like a beanpole or a tall twink for his entire life, Danny decides to start working out. Unfortunately for him, even in human form his powers shined through, making it very difficult to actually work his muscles enough to give the results he desired. Not giving up, Danny decided to find a trainer who could help him get the gains he sought despite his powers making it that much harder.

Enter the Body Building hero Darkshine and the Star Athlete hero Captain Mizuki. Two super strength blessed heroes with bodies built to impress. It would be difficult, and may take a little groveling, but Danny was determined to get them to be his fitnesses coaches.
