Hello, Welcome To The Depths

Can his blood mites, when mixed with another's blood, be used to manipulate that blood?

If so, can that blood be mixed enough as to act as his bloodmites?

Can his blood create lifeforms?

if it can create lifeforms, can he use it to create something that acts independently from him?

If both work, see if mixing his and shixiong's blood allows him to create a blood child.

if both don't work, steal shixiong's blood and find a plant that does.

If only mixing blood works, use his blood to indefinitely keep some of shixiong's blood inside of him (side goal).

Binghe, outloud: "Immortals live a long time, Shixiong. As long as you're with me, there's no telling what may happen."

His interest was immediate. He hovered around the magic hero whenever he was around, even tried protecting him from threats on the field, but seemed too awkward to make conversation. Then, inexplicably, that changed. Phantom beamed whenever Shazam was around, and the other would fail to squash his own smile. When asked (Shazam, not Phantom. Phantom would never answer them straight), Shazam said they met outside of meetings and formed a bit of a friendship.

On Erid sleep is so culturally important that the mere suggestion that Grace was forced to sleep for years is horrifying to ever Eridian who hears it. Especially considering he had no one to watch him and woke up to his crewmates dead. They start sharing Savior Grace's story around Erid as a horror story.

The amnesia thing is also terrifying to a species that cannot forget anything even if they want to. Hearing that he'd forgotten basically his whole life makes them all vibrate within their carapaces.

They can cope with all of that by pampering their human and feeling sorry for him. Giving him gifts and making sure his biodome is good.

They can't cope with the fact he was forced. It disgusts the entirety of Erid when they find out that their squishy little pet was forced into sleep, especially since it's a kind of sleep incredibly similar to their own. The idea that sweet savior Grace who teaches their pebbles was forced to leave his home and left to die honestly leaves them scarily quiet.

Dick: Please?

Kori: It is only for a couple of hours, promise.

Danny: Well, I guess, but you can't get mad when she tells you how much I sucked at babysitting!

*two hours later*

Dick: We're home!

Mar'i: *giggling loudly* Again! Again!

Danny: Alright, Alright! Bossy. *shifts a pair of pointy dog ears onto his head and moves them around before making them vanish*

Mar'i: *giggles again, before finally noticing her parents* Mommy, Daddy, you're home!

Kori: Did you have fun with Danny?

Mar'i: Yes! He knows lots and lots and lots about the stars, even more than you mommy, and he changes his ears! Uncle Danny show them!

Dick, smirking: Uncle~

Danny, embarrassed: I didn't do anything that cool.

Mar'i: And we made Chick-ego Pizza and Dirt Cake. *whispers* Don't worry Daddy, the wormys are fake.

Dick, nodding seriously: Thank you, I was very worried.

Kori: So you had fun with Danny?

Mar'i: Yes! I wish he was here all of the time like Mommy and Daddy!

Danny: *blushing heavily*

A deaged Danny AU but instead of getting adopted by the Batfam, Mr. Freeze finds him after a bad reveal that ended up with his friends and sister dead and led to him de-aging. Clockwork wanted his little star to be safe and loved and with all the futures and dimensions he had seen he decided to approach Victor Fries himself along with Lady Gotham to tell the man he would be in charge of raising Danny in exchange for Frostbite helping cure his wife.

Of course Victor agrees, he just didn't think he would get attached to the little one so fast while Nora was being cured. The little one wasn't affected by his touch and even mimicked what his machines usually could. He learned the child's name was Danny, he was four, and he had been hurt by his former parents. Danny had already been healed himself so there was no worry there. Victor also learned that his wife was something called a Halfa now, just like their new son who she instantly adored the moment she awoke and met him. It took a while for her to get better and learn to control her new powers and for Victor to do the same as it seems like he got contaminated by the ectoplasm that surrounded them and became extremely liminal.

Finally though they were healed and ready to go home. They had initially thought of leaving Gotham but learned it was the best place for their Little Snowflake to live and hide so they went back home. Now you would think they would both stop being rogues but Nora was basically like, "guess we're rogues now 🤷‍♀️" and Victor is like "My Dear, we don't have to be. We can-"

"Anti-heroes then. You're so right Darling!"

And that's that. XD Plus, they're all used to extreme cold and they need money to keep their home that way.

Danny became their pride and joy, whom they loved dearly. They gave him the name Aidan Lukas Fries and he grew up very happy.

I don't know what ship this will be but there definitely will be one for one of the batboys that falls in love with the ethereal looking anti-hero Phantom Frost

I love the trope where Danny becomes the Ghost King, but I was thinking about a phrase I read in a fic some time ago where he says that, as Ghost King, he is the judge, jury, and executioner.

It got me wondering: has there ever been a fic where he was literally the judge of souls?

We know Pariah Dark declared himself Ghost King by force. He conquered the Infinite Realms; he wasn’t chosen. So what if the Ghost Zone already had an actual judicial system before Pariah took over? A court responsible for judging newly arrived souls, determining unresolved obligations, deciding whether crimes committed in life still carry over into death, and settling disputes between ghosts.

Then Danny defeats Pariah.

Everyone assumes he’ll become the new king…

…only to discover that the position of “Ghost King” doesn’t actually exist in any legal sense. Pariah made it up.

What does exist is the highest office in the Realms: the High Judge.

And, thanks to his absolutely ridiculous résumé—former Protector Spirit, defender of both the living and the dead, countless world-saving feats, repeatedly choosing mercy over vengeance despite every reason not to—Danny is unanimously appointed to the position almost immediately.

Now he’s the one deciding whether a soul deserves redemption, punishment, reincarnation, or release.

The DC universe eventually finds out.

Maybe the Justice League requests an audience to argue that Constantine’s soul should be considered off-limits because of all the deals he’s made.

Maybe Jason Todd gets summoned to testify after the Joker finally dies, because no one is better qualified to speak on the impact of the Joker’s crimes.

Maybe a villain tries to exploit a loophole by dying before sentencing, only to discover that earthly justice is no longer the only court with jurisdiction.

Or perhaps Batman is horrified to learn that the final appeal for every soul isn’t before a god…

…it’s before a twenty-year-old in a black-and-white hazmat suit eating a burger while reading through centuries of case law.
