masterpost please no editing or concrit, I still cannot focus to edit with this headache, but I can write!
Danny’s resting his chin on the blob ghost that’s cradled in his folded arms, and listening to the others tell stories, mostly at the expense of their teammates. Robin is busy at his laptop. He’s been working for ages trying to save Technus. Danny’s grateful. All of these people trying to help save ghosts.
Save dead people.
Danny rubs his nose against the hoodie he wore. He refuses to wear any sort of super suit, even the domino feels like too much. He isn’t a hero anymore. How can he be? He doesn't know how dead he is anymore. Somethings that…
Things that should be easy…
He flexes his hands. His still healing skin pulls taut. The skin is startling pink, and Danny wonders if it will fade out to white like the rest of his scars.
“Are you okay?” Superboy asks. His words are quiet, but everyone zeros in anyways.
Danny shrugs. “It hurts. Being here hurts.”
“It hurts?! What do you mean it hurts? Why didn’t you—” Bart’s babble is cut off by Superboy shoving Bart back by a hand on his cheek.
“Are you okay?” Superboy asks again, calmly, but with a serious sort of pinch between his brows. He’s been different today, still distant but more… attentive, somehow.
Danny lets out a slow breath and nods. “Yeah. It’s like an old bruise or something. I think it’s because… I think it’s close. My core, I mean, I think that it’s close. The hallow of it aches.”
Superboy scowls, but it’s Super Girl who says, “That… doesn’t sound good.”
Danny gives a little snort at the understatement of it. The problem is, he doesn’t know what to do about it. Even if they find what’s left of his core it could be too broken to put back in. Maybe he can’t even put it back in. No one has said that’s even how it works. No one has said he could be whole again.
Half again.
A whole half and a half.
A half and a half to be a whole whole whole—
“Hey!”
Danny gasps in a startled breath. Superboy’s hands are pressed against Danny’s cheeks and there’s warmth suddenly, so much warmth. His exhale is as shaky as he feels.
“Okay, yeah, like that, keep breathing,” Superboy says. He’s close enough for Danny to see the little flakes of brown in the otherwise perfectly blue eyes.
Danny does his best to listen, but he doesn’t really feel that in control of what his body is doing right then. He’s pretty sure that he just had another panic attack. He tries to turn and look at the blob he’s holding, wanting to make sure he didn’t hurt the little thing, but wavers when Superboy moves his hands away. It leaves him cradling the blob and slumped against Superboy’s chest.
If he had the energy, he would’ve been painfully embarrassed.
As it is, Danny can only manage a weak smile for Barry and Wally as they suddenly appear in the room. “I’m okay.”
Superboy makes a derisive noise that says what he thinks of that claim.
“I—okay, I mean… I didn’t hurt myself, not like that last time,” Danny says. He makes an aborted move to try and sit up, but just ends up surprised by the fact that one of Superboy’s arms is around him. Danny blinks down at the ring covered fingers. But Superboy doesn’t even like him?
“What? No? I don’t… it’s not like I dislike you,” Superboy protests.
Oh. He maybe said that part out loud.
“Yeah, you’re sort of out of it,” Bart says from between the Flashes.
Barry reaches out and brushes a chunk of sweaty hair from Danny’s forehead. Danny closes his eyes at the touch. “Can you tell us what set you off? And if not that’s okay! But we don’t want whatever it is to keep eating at you.”
“My core. I was thinking about my core and… and I don’t know if it’s here and what you all found and—” Superboy’s arm tightens across Danny’s chest, and he sucks in a breath. “Sorry. It’s just…”
“No, you’re allowed to be upset,” Barry says, as patience as ever with him. “We do have something to show you, but we needed to secure and clear the area first. It should be almost done. Can you drink some water and have a few bites of a bar first?”
“Yeah, I can try,” Danny agrees because of course he does. He doesn’t want to be trouble for Barry and Iris. They’ve been so kind to him, opening up their house, taking him to doctors, never getting mad at him… he just needs things to calm down, just for a little bit.
Danny sips at more of the water than he eats the bar. The slightly off peanut butter taste wrapped in dubious chocolate turns his stomach a little, but he manages a few bites by the time he’s finished most of the water.
Barry has zipped back and forth a few times, and he’s back now, smiling tensely. “Okay, we’ve got the clear to go into the room. Flash and I are going to take you, but do you want Impulse to come too?”
“Yes, please,” Danny says quickly. He sits up and this time Superboy lets him. He makes sure to sand firmly and not waver, but Bart is by his side just in case. It’s nice, to know that he can break and people will be there to catch the pieces.
They go through the halls at normal speed. Danny keeps his eyes at their feet, following Barry, flanked by Bart, and with Wally behind them. Danny doesn’t need to see these halls again. He doesn’t need to be back here other than getting his core.
His core, they were taking him there now.
There was enough of it left to show him.
That was something.
It would be enough.
It had to be.
It was…
Except it was…
“Phantom,” Danny whispers, pressed up against the tube.
Phantom’s eyes snap open. That bright green gaze finds Danny’s instantly. A pale hand lifts, moving slowly through the ecto mixture in the tube. It presses against Danny’s, that damn glass in between. The glass fogs up where Danny breathes against it.
i talk about transitioning and all anyone ever says is "I hope you don't regret it" what if instead we said I hope you love it. I hope it's everything you ever wanted. I hope you live the rest of your life in utter bliss. etc etc.
I hope you transition and I hope it's the best thing you ever did and I hope you never look back and I hope you finally feel comfortable in your own skin
masterpost please no editing or concrit, I literally cannot get my brain to read over my own work right now to edit ;-;
Constantine drains half a bottle of water before he starts talking. “These people were batshit, but they were smart. Dangerous fuckers. Never seen tech work with magic and other realms like this. Can’t be confident that absolutely everything is shut down, but no one should just… trip on their face into the realm of the dead.”
“I… well, that’s good, I guess,” Barry says with a blink.
Bart feels a little sorry for him. Barry, who’s totally crash with most stuff, still really struggles with magic and things. Danny has helped that, but, like, it’s an uphill race. Bart’s leg jiggles faster with impatience.
He was banished to the corner of the break room when he arrived and told to sit and hush. Which, like, is okay. He can do that. For a bit. He’s just there waiting for the go ahead to zip off and bring the rest of the team to the site. The site being called safe is a big step that way. The adorable blob he was handed when he sat made what Bart had to guess was a happy warble as they jiggled.
(Maybe Barry would let them keep one, as long as Bart and Danny promised to take care of it.)
“We believe that all should continue to travel in duos or trios,” Dianna says. Bart can’t help but straighten up. Dianna just sort of commands that. When she fixes him with a stare he almost wilts though. “I would also suggest that our younger members travel with more senior members.”
Bart waited a beat, and then says, “But we can be around then.”
“I don’t think that was the take away from that, Impulse,” Barry says. He looks like he just bit into one of Wally’s extra hot burritos by mistake.
Bart shrugs. “It’s what I took from it.”
“I am sure that Robin will feel the same,” Bruce says, all dark and brooding like. “All Young Justice members must be accompanied by at least two Justice League members. And there will be no going into the main lab until both the Dark team and Afterimage feel like it is right to do so, is that understood?”
Bart nods quickly. “Yep, I mean yes. Can I go get them then?”
Bruce gave a long pause. Bart’s leg jiggles. “Flashes, go with Impulse to bring Young Justice. The break room will do.”
“Yes,” Bart hisses and he’s off.
Then back.
He carefully sets the ghost back into one of the paper boxes with the others.
“I, um… forgot,” he mumbles, and then he’s really off. He comes to a screeching stop in the Young Justice Lair™. Tim is, of course, at the computer. Kon, Cassie, and Danny are at the table, and Cassie is mid some sort of story about the siege and Danny looks at least not 100% miserable. “Hey guys! So, me and”—Barry and Wally come to a stop slightly more elegantly— “them are going to take you to the site. We have to stay with an adult, and I think they’re going to keep us in a break room, but like…”
“Will they tell us more about what’s going on?” Danny asks, now looking 100% miserable.
“Or at least let me look for Technus in their main server?” Tim asks, without looking up from the computer.
“Um,” Bart says helplessly, “maybe?”
“Robin, you’ll have to talk to Batman about that,” Barry says, “but helping Technus is one of our goals today. Afterimage, yes. You’re one of our most informed heroes on this, your knowledge will be helpful. But we need to make sure that you stay safe while we all work. That includes taking breaks when you need to.”
“I’m not a hero,” Danny mumbles.
“Maybe not right now,” Barry agrees, “but you’re family. We’re here for you, and we want you safe.”
“We’ll look out for you too,” Kon says. His voice is softer than Bart is used to, smaller somehow.
Danny gives Kon a shaky smile.
“Okay,” Wally says with a clap of his hands. “Robin, I’ll come back and grab you after we take the others. Have whatever tech you need to help Technus ready to go.”
Tim gives a little wave of confirmation.
Bart, who’s smoothest, takes Danny, who is still new to traveling this way. Wally gives a sweeping bow to Cassie, who rolls her eyes, but lets Wally pick her up. This leaves Kon for Bart. Bart holds out his arms with a grin. Kon sighs, but uses enough TTK for Bart to ‘pick’ Kon up and zip off after the others. When they come to a stop in the break room, Kon hops down the same way he does in battle. It’s like he expects the copy machine to bite him or something.
(Considering where they are, Bart figures that’s not exactly out of the question.)
“Emotional support blob delivery!” Dick calls as he saunters in.
“What?” Cassie asks.
“Emotional support blob. I’m totally giving a box to Dinah for therapy reasons,” Wally answers.
Barry opens his mouth and then closes it as he considers it. “Not a bad idea, hold that thought.” And then Barry is off to get Tim.
“Blobs?” Cassie asks. She picks one of them out of the paper box Dick is holding. It hangs from her hands, slowly oozing down towards the ground.
“They’re, um, they’re basically emotionally charged ectoplasm,” Danny says. He’s standing with his back up against the wall, watching them all. “Ectoplasm is what makes up the Infinite Realms. Sometimes if there’s a emotional high in an area or if a ghost is ended, they form in that ectoplasm and coalesce into the little guys. They’ve got about the same sort of mental processing as a frog.”
Cassie tilts her head to follow as the eyes of the blob slip down to the bottom. “Do their eyes always shift like that?”
Danny shrugs. “Yeah, sorta. They’re not as… formed because a ghost’s form is just latent memory of who they used to be or want to be or are within death. The blobs ghosts don’t have that. Sorta the same as will-o-wisps and stuff.”
“Weird,” Cassie says. “Like, cute, but weird.”
The non-speedsters (except for Danny), all rock slightly in the breeze as Barry reappears with Tim.
“Which way is B?” Tim asks, right down to business.
Dick has to get in Tim’s way to stop him from wandering off. Dick places a hand on Tim’s chest. “Nope baby bird! You’re staying right here in kiddy jail, okay?”
“Not, not okay,” Tim says. “I have to try and fix Technus. Have you found a central computer? Where is it?”
“Just wait, okay? Once we have everything secure, we can deal with that,” Wally says.
Bart frowns at him. “Constantine said it was!”
“He said the building was,” Barry says. He squeezes Bart’s shoulder. “But you know that’s not the only things to worry about in a rescue operation.”
Bart glances to Danny, then quickly down at the ground. “I, right.”
“Who… who have you found?” Danny asks. His voice breaks around the words.
“Not everyone is sticking around to give names,” Dick says. He gets close enough to hand Danny a blob ghost. He clutches it tightly ad Dick continues. “There are a few yeti. Some amazonians, Wonder Woman is furious about that one. She’s heading to talk with them. Green Lantern is trying to get a list of the others since this is a cross realm issue. There’s one ghost that is helping a lot, she’s a lunch lady.”
Danny sucks in a sharp breath. “Does she… is there… is Boxy with her? I, um, he’s in overalls and a knit cap.”
“I, yeah, I think I saw him with her,” Barry says.
“Okay, that’s good.” Danny’s shoulders drop so suddenly that that he wavers on his feet. Kon steps forward to help steady him with an arm around Danny’s shoulder. “I, um, I can help identify the ghosts, not all of them, but a lot. The yetis are friends and I trained with the amazons. And others were… rogues, I guess? But they were just being ghosts. Like Boxy. He just… he’s the box ghost. He likes to collect boxes.”
“I’ll make sure to bring him one of the paper boxes, okay?” Barry offers. He’s using his talking to victims voice. “We might take you up on that, and I know that you probably want to see them, but some of them are in rough shape, and we want to give them some time to rest.”
In other words, Barry doesn’t want them to see the gore of it all. Bart doesn’t know if Danny gets what Barry is really saying, but Danny nods anyways. “You’ve at least… all of the… everything is stopped, right?”
“There is one that seems in a stasis, but the ghost isn’t in any harm that we can tell. We’ve left the computers on for Technus,” Wally says. “That one we will need your help on, okay?”
Danny nods again, slowly.
“Well then!” Barry stands with his hands on his hips. “I’ll bring some waters and snacks, but settle in. And yes, Robin, I’ll talk to Batman about getting you into the system, alright?”
“You all enjoy the blobs,” Dick says. “I’ll get a box to Boxy, and then check on how settled everyone is. Like Flash said, just have a seat, okay?”
“Yep, we can do that!” Bart chirps and put on his best smile. Kon lets out a soft snort, but Bart just ignores him. He holds his smile until all of the adults leave. “Right. Sorry that they’re really not letting us go anywhere yet…”
“You’d think they’d trust us of all groups in evil labs,” Cassie says. She throws herself into a seat, blob ghost held up over her head. It rotates slowly like some weird lava lamp.
“Why would they do that?” Danny asks.
“Because of me,” Kon says simply. He guides Danny over to one of the chairs, doing that mother hen things he does sometimes to Tim. “The pretty much raided the lab I was in and save my ass from a life of serving a megalomaniac billionaire.”
“The billionaire to evil lab pipeline is real. My godfather had one. He cloned me,” Danny says concernedly. “They took him too. He’s like me. Was like me. I’m pretty sure they ended him.”
The silence after was pretty awkward. Bart was glad Kon broke it. “What happened to clone?”
“Most of them destabilized, turned into ecto,” Danny says, squeezing the blob ghost in his hands. “One survived, I’m hoping that she’s still out there somewhere. He had more still in tube but not… you know, people yet? They used the bodies for tests.”
“Oh.” Bart sat on the edge of the table. “I’m sorry.”

notes: i used rice wine vinegar instead of sake and tbh…. it is an excellent swap. makes the sauce soo tangy >:) i didn’t have potato starch on hand either so i used cornstarch– still super super good! i suspect that potato starch would make them more toothsome/chewy, but i couldnt find any, and as is i think the super soft smooth inside + crispy skin + sticky sauce is like. god tier food!!!
the potatoes take long enough to steam that it’s plenty of time to make the sauce! i also made mine like ~70g instead of 100g because 100g is So Big and i like to have lots of little ones

Jesus Tapdancing Christ... THIS is a good welt pocket and the people who designed Simplicity 2895 ought to be blasted well ASHAMED of themselves for the crap way THEY wanted a welt pocket made. *SNARLS*
This is how I learned to do it and a good example of what you want to see in a short form tutorial: pinning, pressing, seam finishing, good fabric handling.
I would mention that you can make the pocket facing with a small panel of your matching fabric that is visible and the rest in a lighter fabric to reduce bulk. That's a lot of denim layers for comfort.
