#Help Arrived

"Amid this general mayhem Barbarossa savored a special kind of mission given to him by Ibrahim Pasha. The pirate was to attempt to kidnap the most beatiful belle in all of Italy, Giulia Gonzaga, painted by many artists, including Sebastiano de Piombo, and coveted by many. This ravishing beauty was the widow of a Colonna prince, and therefore the mission would bring the Turks into conflict with the powerful family that had sacked Rome a few years earlier. Ibrahim's scheme was for the Italian prize to be delivered to Suleyman's harem, and to supplant Roxellana, the sultan's wife, who was giving the Grand Vizier fits. But when the Turks stormed her castle at Fondi, Giulia Gonzaga fled into the night nearly naked in the company of a single knight and escaped the clutches of the Turkish pirate. In reprisal, Barbarossa burned her village and torched a nearby convent, massacring the Benedictine nuns within. When the Turks were safely gone, Giulia Gonzaga had the knight who had aided her escape killed, for he had seen too much." —Defenders of the Faith: Charles V, Suleyman the Magnificent, and the Battle for Europe, 1520-1536, James Reston Jr.

The Mirage

Danny wasn’t sure what he was looking at. He had been kidnapped for being a Wayne kid, because apparently having black hair and blue eyes was a crime in Gotham. So now he sat tied to a chair in an empty building. He could have escaped easily but the anomaly had him ignoring his current position just to stare at it.

The best way he could describe it was a ghost magic circle. He could tell the kidnappers couldn’t see it, walking through it without care. But his ghost sense hadn’t went off and he could tell there was no ectoplasm in the circle despite its obvious ghostlike qualities. It was this hazy mint green that seemed like a mirage, shifting when someone moved through it but always keeping shape.

He had no idea if the thing could even be activated or if it was some kind of past image of a successful circle. While he wasn’t very knowledgeable, he knew it wasn’t a summoning circle at least. However his gut was telling him that whatever it was he needed to figure it out, because past image or not it was important somehow.

Good reveal au, where after learning phantom's identity and realizing the atrocities that the GIW have committed (or alternatively, ethical science au, where they find out the GIW plagarized them), the fenton parents decided to create the 'ultimate ghost-ending weapon' and sell it to the agents.

They go absolutely overboard, describing to the agents in meticulous detail how it evaporates any ghost it hits near-instantly and describing it quite ruthlessly in the blueprints, and soon the GIW have raplaced all their main weapons with the new gun.

Except it doesn't actually kill ghosts. It's the Fenton Bazooka. You know, the one that creates a portable portal to suck the ghost back into the ghost zone? What they actually did was retool it slightly to make it look more grusome than it actually is. They even added a beacon in Phantom's Keep, which all Fenton Bazookas will target when they open a portal, so the ghosts are always delivered to the keep.

From there, Phantom stationed an emergency medical team at the keep to treat the many injured and ragged ghosts that the GIW 'destroyed,' and to explain what just happened.

What they didn't anticipate was that now that the GIW have a mass-produced weapon that they believed would effectively eradicate ghosts, they would go on the offensive. They have a number of cities they've been monitoring but didn't want to get involved in without better tools.

One of those cities is Gotham.

And the Bats are ectocontaminated enough to register as ghosts.

Batman witnessed several of his children get evaporated by green energy weapons within mere moments of each other. He's absolutely gutted. Devastated. They didn’t even stand a chance.

He'll get his revenge, and it's frighteningly easy to track the weapon to private subcontractors. The Doctors Fenton, in Illinois. Their research calls for the genocide of all ghost kind, and apparently, that war started by killing his own children.

His children will not die in vain.

He gets to Amity Park and finds the Engineer's Nightmare of a building that is Fentonworks, but that night, before he can hack through the security and break in, one of the windows opens.

It's one of his kids that he had watched evaporate before his very eyes. They give him a silent signal of one of their identifying security codes and gesture for him to come inside.

Is it a trap? A prank in poor taste? Utterly genuine?

He goes through the window.

All of his dead kids are there, wearing borrowed pajamas and only their dominoes to conceal their identities. Daniel Fenton (son of the Fentons, this is his bedroom, has voiced a few arguments against his parent's views, but still an unknown) is among the crowd of teens and young adults, twirling on an office chair and obnoxiously sipping a capri sun.

"First thing you need to know, Bats," Daniel says after finishing his drink, "is that my parents are absolutely NOT genocidal ectophobic scumbags, and that is the reason why your kids are still alive."

Prompt 264

Danny squints at his tiny hands, eyes narrowing as Clockwork hums in the kitchen. Which he wasn’t even aware of having been in LongNow. Maybe it wasn’t. He huffed, voice too squeaky for him to continue complaining. Stupid time accidents. 

Which wasn’t even starting on the other figure awkwardly sitting at the table. 

He glowered at the Ghost King, who kept glancing at him with an unreadable look in their eyes, then looked back towards where Clockwork was. His scowl deepened over his cup of tea- which wasn’t fair, he wanted coffee but nooo, that’s not healthy for ‘little ghostlings’. Ugh.

Sometimes he wished he was fully ghost so he didn’t have to apparently worry about his living body having to grow back up.
