In one world Phantom steps into a battle to protect his new family and friends.

I will protect all of my people!

Many things happen with this declaration. Shields of power pop up in many key places. Shields over downed heroes and trapped civilians in the battle area.

Back in Gotham, a shield appears around Wayne manor and the clock tower.

The Watchtower satellite station suddenly has a second shield around it.

The house of mystery is sent into the realms which have been locked down.

And in another dimension far far away Jazmine Nightingale is surrounded by a shield and bursts into tears. Because it means that her little brother is alive. More than that it means that he still loves her and wants her safe while he does something dangerous. Even after their parents betrayal. After losing his friends and nearly fading out of existence.

---

Bonus

Harley: Hey Pammy dear, do you know why there is a green shield around the house?

Pam: Those flowers the kid gave us are glowing while they sing, so I'm assuming he has something to do with it.

Harley: Awww, lil baby ghost wants to keep us safe... or from doin sumthin... I didn't have any plans. You?

Pam: Nope... Netflix and chill?

Harley: Fuck yeah!

Danny has a formula for helping cure his neighbor/haunt owner/local undead vigilante. First have him release large amounts of corrupt ecto, usually via induced acts of violence. Give him a good, long fight in a controlled environment until his green eyes fade to teal.

Followed by a mini coma with as many blob ghosts as Danny can coax into the man's apartment. Luckily the cute revenant tends to pass out for anywhere between 6-12 hours after a good pit fuled rage. The black mail photos of Jason cuddling blobs on his couch are treasures he only shares with Sam, Tuck and Jazz.

Finally a few well placed microdoses of pure ecto in coffee and treats between brawls to keep things even.

The problem that has developed lately is that the treatment is working too well. Jason has evened out and the pits are no longer right under the surface. Jason isn't always angry anymore. Which is great, its working, his core is steadily getting better.

But he's still got gunk to filter out. So Danny has to work harder to get under his skin to coax out what's left of the pit in him.

Jason: Danny? Did you rearrange my bookshelf?

Danny: Hmm? Desicrate the sanctity of your literature? Me?... Never!

Jason: Uh huh...

Danny: Whacha gunna do 'bout it.... Princess?

As a 15k subscriber event SpiderBoo does a live Q&A.

They are admittedly selective with what answers they give. They ignore any identifying information and jabs at their age... we'll except for one.

#gotHAMbbq : Aren't you a little small to be called SpiderMAN?

Peter squares his shoulders tilts his head up and puffs his chest in a mimic of a Captain America pose.

"First of all, it's Spider-Man, there's a hyphen! It's very important! And I'll grow into it!" He declares with his whole chest.

He goes on to explain that a lot of sidekicks and heroes that start off young don't think ahead and get stuck with juvenile names. That he is looking to the future.

Needless to say the GIF of tiny Lil Spider-Man declaring "I'll grow into it!" Goes viral. Especially since Phantom is in the background pointing out how small the spider is by moving his hand over the boys head and then to his own collar. (he's cheating by floating, they are in fact nearly identical in hight)

They finish off the live with a question that they've been planning on answering for a while.

#1vy_Was_Right : Were y'all born with ya powers or?...

#JakezDAbomb69 : How do ghosts fuck? Cause there's no way you're just some dead kid, otherwise the world would be filled with ghost kids playing hero. Which means you had to have been born a ghost.

#PeaceBWitty : What is your hero/meta origin story?

Phantom smiles wide showing fangs and a bit too much teeth.

"Spidey and I have decided to graciously tell you our tale of woe and justice!"

Spider-Man is nodding like a bobble head in the background "You go first." He invites with a laughing tilt to his voice.

"My name is Phantom, I was bitten by a radioactive ghost, and for the past few months I've been this city's one and only ghost vigilante. You know the rest."

Phantom waves off the camera and moves to put Spider-Man in the focal point. Spidey starts to Bob his head while Phantom starts to beat box in the background.

"Yo, Spider-Man, not even a teen. When he stepped into a very strange machine, with a spider where it shouldn't have been."

"Gonna web em all, cause he's Spider-Man!"

"There was a great big flash, everything just changed. His DNA got all rearranged!"

"Spider-Man! "

"When he first woke up he realized, he had brand new abs and spidery eyes! He could cling to walls, and use webs to fly!"

"Gonna web em all, cause he's Spider-Man!"

They both burst into giggles and end the live on that. Obviously the rap goes viral too. Especially since Signal pops into view near the end and just bobs his head along with a shit eating grin. They both jump in the nanosecond between giggling and turning the live off when they notice him.

Portals have been popping up all over the DCU for the past 3 days. So far nothing has come through, just glimpses of alternate realities seen beyond the shimmering circles. Anyone or thing that has attempted to come through has been quickly turned around back through where they belong.

Until the final round of portals where portals were flashing into and out of existence faster than anyone could react. Not much made it through and most was contained and dealt with by the JL. Many confused civilians having to start over in a new universe after being trapped in the DCU. A few stranded military or heros waiting to be sent back or integrate with the JL and a total of 3 villains/monsters who are in holding for full profiles before return attempts.

In a dark alley in the depth of Gotham two de-aged displaced boys trauma bond after being dumped through a portal. What are two under supervised hyper intelligent kids to do in the same dark city? Bring a little bit of chaos and joy, that's what.

After building multiple unworldy creations for themselves and the rest of Park Row they decide to build a Gotham based social media cite. It starts out as a warning system for roug attacks. Then they add in picture and video upload capabilities... memes and chaos ensues.

Next thing they know they both share a GothTok account, SpiderBoo where they share videos from patrols or random hijinks.

Their most viral video is them both being gremlins in Gotham while singing:

Phantom&Spiderman on the top of WE: Name a more iconic dueo than A GHOST AND A SPIDER

Phantom inside and empty Arkham cell: A Ghost

Spiderman, sticking to the side of the clock tower: and A Spider.

Phantom, hovering within the cloud lit up by the bat signal: A Ghost

Spiderman, upside down under a brooding Bat: and A Spider

Both swinging/flying between Gotham skyscrapers: A GHOST and A SPIDER!

~-~-~

It's all fun and games. Spiderman has a series where he shows off his flips and acrobatics for fun. Phantom has his space hour series where he talks everything space, stars and aero space engineering.

They build mind boggling contraptions on the cheap for Crime alley locals. Like space heaters and water purifiers. They literally light up the streets with independent generators powered by ecto. They build busy bots that help clear debris after attacks and gang wars, and floating blob bots that help filter the air.

They patrol the day shift with Signal, and sometimes hang out with Red Hood. The only vigilantes they accept and don't avoid. They take turns pranking and teasing Robin both on patrol and online with their GothTok.

Ellie:... They look human to me, maybe a Lil liminal but no Skulker or Wulf thing going on.

Danny: No, their NAME. If the name sounds like it could be heard in a mechanic shop they're a vigilante from the low income areas of Gotham. Animal names are fruitloops.

Ellie: Wait wait wait! The poor district of the city get vigilantes named after car parts? Like what?

Danny: Yeah, you know, Red hood, Spoiler, Signal. All based, or known to patrol Crime Alley and the surrounding area.

Ellie: Hood, Spoiler, Signal... What's next!? The Muffler? Some mute person who goes all vigilante with a tire iron?

Dante: It's a Kryptonian name of legend. The name of a being in a classical story of tragedy. It's a creation, slash, god tale so you know, take any and all interpretation with a grain of salt why?

Ellie: Cool story bro, but I meant as in do I trust this dude that just leapt off the building after me or not!?

Danny: only if he's wearing red. Red's his backup suit for when he's ousted by Batatron Prime. Blue means he's an info leak back to the fruitloop HQ.

Dante: But I thought Redwing was mad wing? Like scary borderline sadistic vigilante mode.

Danny:Oh yeah... Sure is... but better angry bird than fake happy birb. Trust me, it's better for us if he's angry, it means he isn't listening to the JL and trying to capture us for the GIW.

Ellie: So if he's blue and offering me candy and puppies and a family and a safe place to stay?... Oh wait I hear it now.

Danny: if he ACTUALLY has candy you better get in that bat-van! It'd be worth it to break out with all the bat suckers you could eat. Plus great street cred if you get free from a batduction.

...

Dante: It's been a while there... You good or did you need help out?

Ellie: I don't know guys, he seems so sweet. He's been all 'we'll keep you safe' and 'no ones gonna get to you in Gotham.' Plus the suckers are REALLY good... I think I'd feel bad if I escaped and made him all sad.

Danny: That's how they get you! It's like a cult! They send out the sweet ones to love bomb you and reel ya in then BAM! You're trapped in the fancy ass mansion of the fruitloopiest bat to ever brood while they claim to be 'helping'.

Dante: Don't drink the coolaid. Or do... I've lost the plot... are we pro cult or con cult? Cause personally I love summonings and getting to scare them all shitless.

Danny: Ooh or like when it's a dumb teen thing and you get summoned to like a frat house as a prank. Those are fun

Ellie: I like whenever the soul whore summons me by mistake, it's so funny to see the light in his eyes cloud over with dread!

Danny: point is... the Bats are with the JL..

Dante: and the League works with the government...

The room glowed with the eerie light coming off of the runes carved into the bottom of the league's empty lazarus pit.

Ra's al Ghul stands on the edge arms crossed and barely containing his rage at the situation. All of his pits had dried up and disappeared. Slowly at first, pit levels had lowered slowly over the span of a few months. Their colour and scent had also changed incrementally becoming a softer green and smelling more light than usual. Then suddenly over the last week the pits had suddenly drained themselves rapidly. No one was sure what had caused the change or the drain but Ra's had lived long enough to know who to call upon for answers.

The king of the infinite, the being who had seen the pits and their usefulness for humanity and left them in his care all those years ago. The summoning had taken weeks to set up and hours to extract enough residual lazarus waters to activate.

Finally here they were chanting and sacrifices had been done with no reaction until the stores of lazarus had been dumped into the circle. The runes had been glowing a bright green for the past five minutes with very little to show for it.

Then suddenly the light went out, as well as all other lights in the cavern. A wind wound through the space with whispering wails of the slain and soldiers that had ever died to the pit over the years. The temperature plummeted and the air filled with clouded breaths of all that occupied the space. Frost climbed the edges of the pit in fractals of runic shapes. In the center of the circle shadows collected and built into a massive amorphous form and two large glowing green eyes opened in the center of it.

Suddenly the pitch darkness expanded past the circle, past the pit and filled the room taking even the bare dregs of light that had existed before. And in the darkness Ra's could feel a presence move around the room, but no sounds came to signify what was happening, no sounds of fighting or screaming, just a single presence flowing like water from one end of the cave to another until it dissappeard.

The lights flickered back on and the room was empty for all but himself and the inactive summoning circle.

Ra's growled at the indignation. "Take as many souls as you wish King Pariah, however you cannot avoid the inevitable. With the pits gone your claim to this realm will grow weak and there will be no easy way to march your dead army into the world like you intended." The man sneered at the unliving king who was trying with him.

From behind him a voice whispered "We've been trying to reach you about your soul's extended warranty..."

"IT HAS BEEN REVOKED!"

After escaping a GIW facility the royal council decides that there has to be some active steps made to bring down the laws calling for the genocide of ghosts and other ecto beings.

As a part of this Danny in human form becomes an ambassador to the Realms and starts peace negotiations through the JL. There is a large Gala to celebrate the start of peace talks. Meaning that after years the Anti ecto acts have been revoked and the GIW disbanded.

By now Danny is in his early twenties and actively working towards an aerospace engineering degree. He's on all top programs short list.

Hes also taken on more ghostly attributes since his coronation, giving his human form an ethereal sort of appeal. Same with the other ambassadors ( Sam, Tucker and Jazz). Though they are still mostly human so a little less inhuman traits. Though jazz is Amazon sized and they all have glowing eyes and abilities.

Point is this is the first public appearance of all of the realm ambassadors and many are trying to gain favor, including flirting and attempting to bribe.

The Bats are part of the team undercover as civvies with comms trying to watch what sort of parts may be made. What dangers may be coming if the wrong people make it into the realms good graces.

What they get is a new appreciation for Danny and his bold and cutting remarks.

Lex, approaching: Hello

Danny: Make like your hairline and take a step back... Yeah ALL the way back.

Kon: That's wife material there.

Ras Al Ghul trying to get approval from Danny and other ambassadors for access to the realms.

Danny: You know I died... at least once... and that experience was still preferable to this conversation.

Damian:... I am sadly too young yet to woo this god... Richard I have a task for you.

Dick: Dames I'm a bit busy trying to land a ring on the red headed goddess that just told Vandal Savage, and I quote, ' Your lack of lasting human connection has left you bitter and jaded'.

Damian: Timothy, if you can obtain this proper paramore it might redeem the rest of your poor qualities.

Kon: sorry little guy, we've lost Tim to a braingasm with the tech pharaoh. What was his name? Tucker maybe?

Oliver: Hey, how are you doing?

Danny: You seem nice, but being liminal doesn't mean I want to join your cult.

Oliver: I'm not in a cult

Danny: Your goatee and aura says otherwise.

Oliver, wandering off to find his emotional support girlfriend: Am I... Is the JL a cult? Does the goatee make me look old?

Duke: Dammm! Fae boy is shooting down EVERYONE. Any luck getting close B?

Oracle: NOPE! Every time Brucie gets too close Danny gets this pained look on his face and walks off.

Jason: I can see the light go out from his eyes at B's proximity, it's GLORIOUS!

Oracle: Upside, B is getting along with Sam Manson. Turns out B saved her from a few awful galas when she was younger and she likes WE's environmental conservation efforts. Oh and looks like Danny's on the move, he's headed to the balcony.

Jason: Roy and I are gonna go check on him.

Tim: try talking about something to do with stars. Tucker says he' obsessed with them.

Jason: Are you a shooting star?

Danny: What?...

Jason: Cause you just made my night.

Danny: Pfft

Roy, muffled cause the didn't turn his comm on: Are you wearing space pants?

Danny: What? Um sorta, it's just the zodiac constellations down my-

Roy: cause your ass is outta this world!

Danny & Jason: ... It's a good thing you're/he's cute... pft haha

~ 45 min later~

Oracle: Does anyone have eyes on Danny, Jay or Roy? The GIW rouge team are storming the building and they are the only ones unaccounted for!

Dick, on a private channel: I may have caught them contaminating a cleaning room, but I don't think I'm brave enough to nock on that door.

Oracle: Dick They have a ghost captive and claim that the ambassadors are possessed by evil spirits. They need to get out here now!

Dick: Aw man, but my innocence!

Oracle: RICHARD LLOYD GRAYSON

Dick: FINE. Still not my middle name BTW. This is gonna suck... so many glowing eyes...

~one GIW battle and take down later~

Sam, taking her hair out in the hotel room: so I saw you snuck off with walking ghostnip and his friend. How did that go?

Danny, Mid shower to get anti ecto spray off: I tasted that revenant's soul and it was as delicious as he smells.

Tucker, getting the first aid supplies ready for Danny after having treated Ellie: Is that a euphemism or is he being literal?

Sam: Who knows. But also does it matter?

Tucker: Wait am I the only single Ambassador that isn't getting laid tonight?

Sam: Let Jazz have her fun, we all know she's gonna eat that poor playboy alive.

Tucker: once again literally? Or...?

Sam: Do you really want to know Tuck? She's like team mom...

Dick: Tell me something only Jason would know!

Jayson1: Sometimes, when Tim falls asleep at the Batcomputer I'll read to him!

Jason2: Like HELL I'd ever do that! That's downright domestic!

(Everyone sus of Jay 1)

Jason1: Not really... I read from a big book on spiders, then giggle when I see the nightmares kick in.

Dick (attacks Jay 2)

Tim, attacking Jay 1: You ASSHOLE! I KNEW those dreams were weird!

DPXPJO

It started with a late night ghost fight followed by a pre-dawn bus ride.

We'll technically it started with a Birthday gift. It came late as his parents always were with anything not ghost related. An admittance fourm for space camp and a bright orange NASA hoodie.

Fast forward a few months and an exhausted Danny was on a red-eye to New York. He was also still healing a few burns from Skullker's newest weapon.

So can anyone really blame him for sleepily following the first teen he heard mention Apollo wearing the same bright orange as him? Who else would be talking about a spacecraft while wearing such a garish colour if not a fellow camper.

He has a few fuzzy memories about the other teens asking if this is his first year at camp and worrying about how tired he was. How oddly understanding they had been when he 'joked' about a late night fight taking the life outta him. Something about a weird tree and sinking through a not green ghost shield like jello.

Next thing he knows he's awkwardly staring down a centaur in the most aggressive camp circle he's ever seen.

"Well this isn't space camp..." Danny muttered.

"How did you get through the barrier? What are your intentions?" The half horse demanded.

"It's always "Who are you?", "What are you doing here?" And the screaming and the weapons..." Danny whined with a sigh, "Can't it ever be, "Hey there fellow non human, you look like you could use a nap and some food"... No one believes in wholesome hospitality anymore..." the teen trails off.

"Apologies for the weariness, we have never had our barrier respond like that before. Usually you either ARE a halfblood or you AREN'T."

"Oh well I'm definitely half something." Danny snorted. "I don't suppose we can chalk this all up to a 'whoopsy daisies' and let me meander my way to space camp..." Danny bargained while backing up to the weird not ghost shield. He pouted once he hit a solid force instead of the jelly surface he had just gone through.

"Sadly once you are though the barrier, the only way out is to be given a quest or return home at the end of summer." The centaur explained.

"Oh, that's fine! I'm on a quest! A quest to get to space camp!" Danny declared and tried once more to sink through the barrier, even going so far as to try his intangibility. However he only managed to warp the barrier about a foot before he was flung back a few meters. There was a green sticky note on his forehead when he sat up.

There will always be time for space camp. Have fun with your new relatives SON. :)

~CW / Kronos

"Yeah... that smile is a threat." Danny Mumbled as he looked up to the field full of whatever half bloods were. Some were obvious, like the half goats and the half horse, the leafy people were probably half plant. He couldn’t be sure about all of the human looking people though.

He watched as all of them lowered their weapons and seemed to pale, even the previously unamused man with a diet cola can. They were all staring at him like he'd just kicked a box of kittens into a well. Some kept glancing from him to just above him and back in awe.

Hesitantly Danny looked up to see a neon green hourglass glowing above his head. An hourglass filled with grain and embossed with a scythe.

"He's been claimed by Kronos!" Someone exclaimed.

"How is that possible?" Another muttered and suddenly the shocked silence was broken and the crowd was all talking over one another with questions and denials.

Dimension Travel idea prompt

I've seen tons of fics and prompts about characters getting dropped into the Omegaverse. But what about the opposite? Someone from the Omegaverse transmigrated into a non omegaverse world.

They would have not only cultural shock, but also some extreme sensory deprivation issues. There would be less socially acceptable PDA, less shared space. Less scents and more textures that are more about practicality than comfort. I imagine there are a lot more sensory friendly lighting and common space textures in the Omegaverse. Like bus seats are softer texture rather than the scratchy stuff we are used to. And park benches have thin silicone coating like on sensory swings to give better texture and temperature. Public spaces would have warm toned lights and working spaces cool, and they would all have like dimming sensors for eye strain. A non didtopian Omegaverse world would have a softer environment built for designation diverse needs. Being dropped in a world without any of that would be grating and horrible. Especially if it's a young character that doesn't understand what's going on and just thinks that they are being rejected by the people who have promised to help them.

<ex>

Traumatized baby Danny from an Omegaverse world, desperately snuggling up with Dick and getting more upset by the minute. Finally he gives up and flees to cry in his hidy hole in the library.

Dick, sadly: Awww, there goes mu cuddles.

Jason: I know yall say he ain't got the tism, but shit like that just don't make no sense.

Tim, chronicly online Drake: Oh.... Oh shit...

Dick: what? That was you epiphany face.

Jason: Knowing Tim that could mean anything tho.

Tim, ten seconds into reading the minimal profiles they have on Danny: Get in losers we're going shopping.

Enter le fancy fragrance shop.

Tim: okay pick a scent you could live in and get one spray and a bunch of roll-on.

Jason: Are you trying to say we stink?

Dick: I'm surprised you didn't just order us new deodorant. Actually having us pick out a product instead of stalker tendencies, I'm proud of you!

Tim: it's for Danny. He comes from a pheromone based society. He's stressed because we don't have a scent he can recognize and find comfort in.

Jason: what in the Omegaverse is this?

Tim: EXACTLY, though I'm surprised you know what that is.

Jason: What were YOU doing in the devil's sacrament?

Tim: No stones in my glass house.

Dick: What?.. What is Omega- did you both just agree to drop a subject?! What just happened?!

Tim &Jason: Bidnas...

Jason: Anyways, you heard the Lil bird, babyBoo needs us to get stinky and swap stink to make his brain do the good burr.

<later back in the manor>

Damian: it is a ridiculous need and we should ween him out of it if he is to survive and live in this world going forward!

Bruce: Damian he cannot help that his biology and needs are different from ours. It is the same thing as your eating habits, it is something that helps you and doesn't hurt us or anyone so there is no reason to deny it. You don't have to participate, just as I do not have to eat the same things you do.

Dick: I don't know Lil D, we've just discovered something that might change your mind.

Damian : as if there would be something worth the effort of douesing myself in perfumes on the regular.

Jason, trying not to laugh: did you know that our newest, babyest bro can purr?

Tim: But only when he's absolutely comfortable, and the most relaxed... Say, for example, when he's being cuddled and sharing scents with one of his big brothers.

Damian interest perked: really? How did we not know he was capable of doing so when we took his physical?

Bruce: He purrs from his core, not his chest cavity like in felines, there was no physical proof until now.

Dick, pulling up a video of baby Danny purring cuddled on his chest: isn't he just the cutest?

Damian: Well if it is best for Daniel's growth than maybe it be best that the whole household partake in this scent endeavor.

DPXDC DeadSea Ep1

The summer before the portal incident, the Fenton parents decided to be responsible for one final time. They realized that their final push on completing their portal would likely be all consuming, and with the school year nearly over, they go through the process of getting their children signed up for camp. Getting their kids out from under foot while also providing them a safe, monitored environment for them to enjoy during the break.

They even found advanced educational summer programs that their kids would enjoy to make things easier. Jazzy was booked into a behavioral studies summer program that would delve into various developmental studies. It was hosted in Metropolis but also moved to Star City and Gotham during different subject focuses. Danny would be going to a very exclusive space camp, one set up by Nasa and Wayne Enterprise. Both had taken a lengthy application process, most of which was done in the lab. Meaning it was not surprising that the leaflets were damaged and nearly illegible when the kids got them.

So the Monday after school let's out Danny and Jazz pack up and head out.

Now here Danny was, two busses later sitting at a... dock? There is a group of six other teens under a banner he could recognize from the leaflet he had. Only Atlantis Expedition, had a different connotation while attached to a boat and waves instead of the blotchy dark smudge on Danny's pamphlet.

A few minutes of confusion and a kind tween later Danny had a not destroyed pamphlet to read. Turns out Atlantis and therefore Atlantians were real, and SOMEHOW his parents had gotten him into an ambassador program. An introduction between the youth of both realms.

"Well, in dad's defense, it IS sponsored by NASA." He mumbled to himself.

"What were you expecting? " The helpful tween asked. As his red headed friend wandered over from where he had been chatting with another older ginger.

"Let's just say this is not the space adventure I was advertised." Danny said awkwardly. "Not gonna complain though, still better than being stuck with my aunt for the summer."

"How is that even possible? I thought that this whole cultural exchange thing was very exclusive." The tallest red head asked incredulously.

"Yeah seems unlikely my dude, didn't your dad do the final cuts for attendance Dick?" The shorter red head asked the helpful boy.

"Yeah I mean it's does- Oh!" Danny admits while flipping the pamphlet to read the back.

"What?" The smallest helpful boy asks.

Danny points to a picture of an environmental suit. "That's the Fenton Suit 2.2. Mom and Dad just sold those blueprints to WE last year. It must have bumped us onto the short list for the program. That plus how distracted they have been in the lab, they probably didn't even read past NASA and WE before sending in an application." Danny explained.

"Oh, you must be Daniel Fenton! Yeah Dad did mention something about an explosion disrupting the video interview he had with your parents. I'm Dick by the way." The smallest boy introduced.

"Ew, no, Danny please... and yeah that sounds about right." Danny says offering his hand to shake.

"Well this will be an interesting summer for you then. I'm Wally." The more freckled ginger introduced himself next.

"Roy." The tallest ginger said with a smirk. "Did you even pack swimming gear?"

"I mean I packed a pair of trunks for the sensory dep tank... I don't think they'll be much use under the sea though." Danny admitted with a laugh.

"No worries, WE is supplying the dive suits for inside the depth suits. Besides the main castle of Atlantis is pressurized with magic so it'll be fine inside. " Dick explained, swatting at Roy for teasing the poor boy.

"Boats Here!" Wally cries and grabs his duffel off the ground and waving at the docking vessel.

They were all quickly aboard the boat and being introduced to the Atlantian kids that would be their buddies and guides for the program. They were left to mingle while the boat got them to the submarine that would take them the rest of the way to Atlantis.

Danny took a chance to break off from the awkward interactions and wander to a railing on the deck. He was quickly joined by a girl who had been introduced as Tula.

"It is even prettier under the water, especially the city." She said also watching the ocean pass by.

"Yeah I bet, I've never even seen the ocean before today. I can hardly imagine that soon I'll be so deep in it." Danny explains

Tula grasps and runs to the emergency box on the side of the hul. Pulling out a life jacket and several lifesavers. "Oh no! Put these on! I'll go get help!"

Roy, Wally, Dick, As well as two other atlantians, Garth and Kaldur come over to the sounds of alarm.

"What’s going on?" Wally asks

"I'm not sure-" Danny mumbles, burried under life preserves.

"He doesn't know how to swim!!" Tula exclaims in alarm.

" Once again Space Boy, how did you manage to get here?" Roy snarks

"Can someone please explain how this happened?" Garth asked exasperatedly.

Dick started to explain the situation to Garth and Tula while Kaldur walked up to Danny.

"Are you okay? Should you be this close to the railing?" He calmly asks.

"I KNOW HOW TO SWIM!" Danny huffed out indignantly.

"But you just said that this is your first time even seeing the ocean!" Tula explains.

"There are these magical things called pools." Roy points out with a laugh.

"Actually more like streams and lakes for me. Parents liked to offroad in search for paranormal entities as family bonding." Danny added.

'Oh... Right..." Tula said through her hands as she blushed.

DPXDC

Something something, starting plot goes here. The JL become aware of two things at once.

One, there is a secret government organization detaining, experimenting on, and eradicating beings known as 'ecto entities'. More preferably referred to as realms beings, though also called ghosts.

Two, their proteges need more supervision. Especially after the explosive rescue the young group staged.

Who better to watch the rebellious group than the teen king they helped rescue from the GIW? Bonus that it will keep Phantom under the radar as he heals, and the JL overturn the laws making him illegal.

The snag is that the 'Young Just Us' team have never been fans of being monitored or managed, so a glorified babysitter is not welcome. Plus the fact that Phantom used their attack as a distraction to free himself means that they don't see/know him as a victim.

Their first training session goes poorly. So Phantom takes them all out to a field to beat some respect into them.

Phantom: I get that you don't like that I'm here and you have problems with authority. But I will not let you half ass your training.

Kon: Who's to say we weren't training away from you?

Phantom: I can SEE the shopping bags- you know what, fuck it, you won't play nice, time to play ghost.

Tim: what does that mean?

Phantom: Time to fight about it.

Kon: Sure!

Cassie: Oooh, sounds like fun!

*One Beat Down Later*

Kon in a crater: I think this is what regret feels like.

Bart in a puddle of limbs: There is no timeline where I'll live this down.

Cassie from her own crater: I mean you did take yourself out. Didn't know you could run fast enough to punch yourself.

Tim, cutting himself down from a tree: Note to self, ghosts emote with their fists.

Phantom: They sure do! And do you know the best way to get stronger as a Ghost?

Bart: Something heartwarming about being remembered and living on in your surviors?

Phantom, laughing himself to tears: Cute, but no. Ever hear the phrase "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger?"

Kon: I don't like where this is going.

Phantom: Oh yeah, I spent the past year and a half getting my ass beat, like almost daily! Hahaha.

Cassie: You're laughing, that's bad right? It feels bad that he's laughing about near death experiences.

Phantom: I can't die, but you can. So I'm going to train you so that you don't have to learn the hard way.
