The Merchant
Danny didn't like his new job. This job was something every ghost has to do. It's the ghost's job to keep on human soul happy. The more powerful you are the harder the soul is to get happy. Oh, and there is a catch. The ghost can only feel one emotion when interacting with the soul.
That's honestly where he messed up. Danny is a pretty powerful ghost and even though he heard what the job entails, he still chooses to be happy all the damn time. He really should have thought this through. But he can't change it now The soul he is helping with has already been born. That's fine all he's got to do is wait till the teenage years.
Danny jinx it didn't he? If he could feel dread there is no doubt that he would only feel that. Because he is smiling like he won the lottery while there is this kid on his knees beside him frozen in time, dead parents. Well, no one said it would be easy.
" I welcome thy soul to the other side of hell!" Why did he say that? " I'm phantom you're own ghost merchant! Is it that exciting!?" He giggled. He hates this so much. "Now I need to confirm that you are Bruce Wayne?"
The soul stared with hatred. He can't blame the kid he is smiling like nothing is going on. That's when he just nods.
" Great! I have to go over a few things about the shop so do keep up! OK? First of all this shop is specifically tailored to your needs. It will give you everything you need to be happy! Second of all this will give you any and all benefits that mean such a simple thing could turn even greater! And finally, it's the one rule we have don't kill any human being!"
He looked at the soul to see if he was following along. Good he was.
"Now what you need is this! This bundle will give you the right to see your parents every month!"
The soul looked up with hope. "...Really?"
"Really! This does cost a huge amount of trauma points but you have so many that you won't need to worry!"
He holds out his hand to make the deal with the soul. The soul takes his hand. There the deal is done.
" Now like I said it's once a month all 24 hours and all you have to do is yell out the date you want them to come! Here this is my calling card all you have to do is repeat what's on there! But that's all goodbye!"
He opens a portal and quickly unfreezes time.
He felt tired when all that happiness left his body. He hopes he doesn't have to deal with it often.
Over there year nothing really major happened as their first interaction. But then something did happen.
"Tho shall call and I shall answer! What can I do for you?"
"My son. Can I see my son."
"Let's pull up the shop! Would you like to do the same deal with your parents?"
He nods.
"Got it! What's his name?"
"Jason Todd", he said in a sad tone.
" Oh? Well, it seems that your son won't be dead long so do keep an eye on his grave! But you know the rules so bye!"
He had to go and ask Clockwork what this was about.
Jason Todd had to die. His revival was not set in stone though maybe he could use this to his advantage.
He was called and the familiar emotion came.
" Your ringtone sounded so here I am! What can I do for you?"
"Please heal my son"
" Huh, it seems he needs more than healing? This is something beyond the shop! But there is a deal we could do~!"
The soul spoke firmly. "What's the deal."
"That this shop will go away! You get to keep all the things you have purchased but you can't get help in the future!"
" It doesn't matter please heal my son."
"Then the soul Bruce Wayne has agreed to give up the shop to heal his son! Jason Todd will be healed physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually! With this deal, Bruce Wayne is still required to follow the shop's rules!"
He holds out his hand to seal the deal. Bruce Wayne accepts that deal.
He then looks at the frozen body on the bed. He chants till the job is done.
"There he should wake up when time starts back again! Well the bye!"
"Bye"
Danny did it he was finally done and he didn't have to kill the soul. It was the opposite really he healed the soul's son. He is soooo done with that.
