Ghost King Phantom and the Children of the Stars
#DC x #DP Crossover
Phantom stood in silence, gazing into the endless expanse of space ā where galaxies shimmered like scattered fragments of glass.
Superman, frowning slightly: āPhantom, why is your heart beating so fast it sounds like itās vibrating?ā
Flash, slowing mid-run and gasping: āDude, thatās faster than me!ā
Phantom (calmly): āI donāt have a heart. Iām incubating the cores of my five children.ā
Superman, confused but trying to be supportive: ā...Congratulations?ā
Green Lantern, blinking: āWaitāwhoās the mother?ā
Phantom: āTechnically, me. I was cloned against my will, and when the clones became unstable, I placed them next to my core to stabilize naturally.ā
Wonder Woman, nodding thoughtfully: āSoā¦ itās like a Zeus thing?ā
Phantom, with a small shrug: āIf that helps you understand, sure.ā
Batman: āSo youāll have more reinforcements soon?ā
Phantom: āNot for a while. One is almost readyāIād give it about a month.ā
Green Arrow, smirking: āGot any names picked out yet?ā
Phantom, smiling softly at the stars: āA few. But Iād rather they choose for themselves once theyāre ready.ā
And for a moment, even the Justice League fell silentā watching their ghostly teammate cradle the future inside a core of light.
A being of death, now giving birth to life. Somewhere in the vast quiet of the cosmos, balance was being restored.
