Justice League Task Force #26

I need to know how some of them even got inside this bar. I know that at least three of them aren't of drinking age.

(id in alt!)

The Infinite Realms, is something like a ligament joining all the different dimensions together through their afterlives.

So Danny's left his original dimension behind. Maybe after everyone he loves become ghosts they all decide it's easier to move into the zone full time. No rent, no GIW, no Fenton parents.

Over time it's decided that while the Ghost Zone doesn't need a monarch (hey their last one took a nap for 1000 years and nothing fell apart, clearly this position is not super essential for the day-to-day running of the ghost zone), an envoy or ambassador would be handy!

So Danny, as the most living-inclined ghost around gets the job immediately. Most ghosts are fairly hostile and social faux-pas around their treatment, triggers and deaths will lead straight to violence they can't really stop themselves. But Danny is much more centred and could deal with rude dimensions. Also, he can protect and disguise himself much more effectively than literally anyone else should his work take him to a hostile dimension.

There's a whole wealth of fic in this ambassador idea I swear.

Then one day the Justice League from their own dimension summon "The Ghost Leader" to help with a rampant ghost hoarde or something but instead get Danny who tells them "Oh, we actually deposed our 'leader' but I am the official representative of the Infinite Realms and I can totally process your request!"

There is definitely some upset about how young the ghost is - while Danny as a human is now a young man, as a ghost he's 14, still. Frostbite says he'll grow more when he dies again.

They ultimately decide to introduce themselves and Danny gets very excited. "Oh, I know you guys!"

They have no way of knowing that when alive, Danny lived in a dimension that they didn't exist in.

"Yeah, your other branch!"

Batman gets very concerned that there are imposters using their name and potentially their reputations to manipulate ghost children who somehow represent their entire realm.

"Yeah, Jason - I mean batman and I, we're really close. Ice and Mystek actually live with friends of mine, although I don't know them very well. Metamorpho lives with one of my rogues, they're really close, I think it's a compartmentalising thing?"

Anyways, everyone has a lot of questions now they know that almost every single Justice League-adjacent vigilante that died in uniform met up in the afterlife to make another Justice League. Damian is furious that a son who wasn't him got to be batman first.

Created by “Quantum and Woody” creator and first black writer in comics Christopher Priest, Mystek was a Korean female superhero with the ability to manipulate quarks which she could use to make pseudo-matter, or channel through technology, kind of like a technomage(her name sounding like mystic was most-probably intentional). 

Mystek,(real name either Jennifer Barclay, Seong Barclay, or just Barclay) was originally created to be a creator-owned character with her own mini-series that would debut after having multiple minor appearances. 

Sadly though, the plans for said mini-series fell through and ended up being just one of a thousand C-listers in the vast pantheon of DC comics, and was later mercy-killed off by her own creator in “Justice League: Task Force”. 

The sad part is that she apparently was made with a back story, personal arc and everything, all of which we will probably never see because her creator made the mistake of using a major publisher to promote an indie publication.

Learn from Chris Priest’s mistakes, if you have a character that only YOU want to write for, do NOT let a big publication have them, high chances are they’ll just fall to the wayside or be killed off in a Justice League spin-off that only nerds who binge wikis know about.
