DP x DC Idea #1:
In order for a magic user to operate in the Haunt of a ghost from the Infinite Realms, they have to provide a “hostage” item that is as “valuable as the ghost is powerful” according to all the books they have found. This is why the JLD don’t go to Amity Park. They know that nothing is going to equal the power of Amity Park’s ghost.
But now they don’t have a choice, and the entire JLD and JL team are trying to think of something to give the ghost.
Batman has an idea when he sees the wording. They can make more than one offer, but they are worried about insulting the ghost.
When they get there, they can’t see the ghost they are communicating with. Batman reaches into his wallet, and someone starts to scold him for trying to use money. He pulls out the picture he has of all of his kids, a civilian photo, where everyone is laughing and happy. That’s what he offers.
Value is in the eye of the beholder, and what could be more valuable to him than seeing his family like that?
Danny, a kid who maybe hasn’t had a genuinely happy moment with his entire family in a while, accepts it in an instant. The first thing he does once they come into the town is return to visibility.
None of the heroes were expecting the powerful ghost to be a kid.
(yes this is based on the scene in Snuff by Terry Pratchett)

TT: We are like the emissaries to what lies beyond this small bubble in their unfathomable dark foam.
TT: Derse skirts its edge, and during the lunar eclipse, we graze it, and that's when their intent for us becomes clear.
Is that it, then? You can only understand Horrorspeak when you're in the Furthest Ring?
If so, it must take nerves of steel to actually try and negotiate with them. We've seen what that place looks like without Bubble protection, and it is not pretty.
TG: what am i supposed to do [...]
TT: They will teach you how to navigate the unnavigable.
TT: The result should be a map. [...]
TG: why
TT: To plot a course through the Furthest Ring.
TG: plot a course to what
Aradia said Rose would never find the Green Sun - and she was right.
But Rose isn't the only Derse-born Player in the session.
TG: whats the deal with this thing [...]
TT: I don't know that there is a deal with it. [...]
TT: It is what it sounds like.
TT: A huge sun out in the literal middle of nowhere, and it is bright green.
TT: It is simply,
TT: The Green Sun.
I feel like Rose is being a little too flippant here. If you're planning on messing with one of the cores of reality, I don't think there's such a thing as too much caution.
The Sun is an enormous, intensely supernatural pseudostar of unknown, possibly unknowable origin. The game taps it to create First Guardians, but we don't know if that's its intended purpose, or if it even has an intended purpose. Unlike everything else in Sburb, it is not duplicated across sessions, doesn't feature in the game's storyline, and is only referenced in a cryptic stone monument buried hundreds of feet under LOLAR.
It's not even in the Medium! It's 'part of Sburb' only in the loosest possible sense, and feels more like something completely foreign to the game that Skaia is just using. Even the Horrorterrors feature more heavily in the game than the Sun.
Rose doesn't seem too curious, but I am. Just what the fuck is this thing? Is it the only one of its kind, or does Skaia draw its power from other enormous structures, hidden deep in oblivion?
TT: It is nearly twice the mass of our universe.
Scaled against every Sburb session, that's actually pretty small.
We know from Doc Scratch's introduction that every planet supporting intelligent life will have a First Guardian. Every universe will have at least one of these, since its creators will want somewhere to live. There are also universes with a surplus of intelligent species - the Alternian Empire has to be conquering someone.
In other words, this Sun is powering, at an absolute minimum, one First Guardian per universe. It's impossible to estimate how many universes there are - but if (as was implied) every intelligent species is destined to spawn sessions, and if even one session on a planet is successful every million years, the numbers get exponential really fast.
From a metaphysical standpoint, 10^50-ish kg just isn't that much. The First Guardians themselves probably have more collective mass than the Sun.

The realm beckons Danny. It’s calling him to become a full member. Best way i could describe it is like a sirens call.
It’s luring him.
All his friends notice how his eyes go green more often how more natural portals are opening. How he is more reckless then normal less care about safety.
Via frostbite or someone else they find out why. The constant access to the realm through his parents portal is combining with him. As Danny died already when getting his powers it wants him fully.
The solution is to remove him from the town. Then hope it works. There going off a guess. True halfas don’t happen often.
He ends up in any place where a hero resides. I like Batman crossovers so imma use Gotham.
Danny ends up in Gotham. Living his life the best he can. One day a green portal opens up. His eyes glow green and he feels the tug.
From an outside perspective they see Danny eyes glowing green walking to a deadly situation. Anyone besides Danny can tell it’s a death sentence.
Would any hero let a child walk to there doom?
Cue the attempts to remedy the magic caused problem.

imagine Lloyd has really pointy ears in his human form and sharper canines but not more than what some people have and Sora and Arin KNOW he's not fully human but don't actually know specifically what he is so they have a betting pool (that euphrasia, wyldfyre, and Geo's kids eventually join in on)
some of the theories are:
vampire
elf (they even have different species of elf to make it more fun)
some other kind of undead
human but with body modifications
skeleton with a magical disguise thrown over him
and then they also have a betting pool on when it is Lloyd will finally reveal what he is. after the whole "how did you just never tell us that youre the grandson of the guy who created Ninjago?" fiasco Sora and Arin moved their bets wayyy into the future
edit: thinking I should write a fanfiction about this now....
