DP x ? Crossover Prompt
A though came to me when I re-read the tags on "Robin's Egg" by Calix/@arzuera (which I can't rec fast enough):
What if, given their liminality due to exposure to ectoplasm, the Fentons, Sam and Tucker have a proto-core?
What if, due to any accident of your choice (be the Nasty Burger explosion, the GiW getting shoot-y or a ghost attack), they get killed?
And what if, before their bodies die, Danny manages to snag their proto-cores and stuff them in a Thermos or within himself, to keep them from the possibility of fading after death?
After fleeing from Amity because of plot reasons (usually Vlad, but you could choose whatever), Danny now has two three possible options:
Help them stabilize as full ghosts. Angsty and full of feels, but that's a given due to the situation. (≧▽≦)
Try to clone their human bodies and shove the proto-core (or full core if they had time to mature) inside of them before they could develop a soul of their own and so become halfas. [That's a personal headcanon of mine: "normal" clones can't be perfect replicas of the templates, because the soul (or the Core in an halfa's case) is impossible to copy. In this case the clones are more body-suits than ex-novo beings.]
Oh, I almost forgot! Robot body instead of a flesh one! Would they be considered the first generation of sentient machines or just ghosts possessing technology (a-la Technus/Skulker)?
Now, to add in more feels, there are two possibilities that could happen when Danny's still on the run:
Danny is "alone", because the proto-cores are in coma, so he has no one to bring him out of his spirals. (Bonus points if they have some moments of lucidity where they are too confused by what's going on, before going under again, to understand anything Danny's saying.)
They are conscious and, while Danny has someone to talk to, in the meanwhile they also feel his agony, regret and desperation to do something to fix things.
This idea is free for everyone, but I'd like to be tagged if anyone uses it! (I want to see what you come up with!!)
