dp x dc prompt: splintered core au

a year after the events of canon (minus phantom planet), vlad tries to absorb pariah dark's core in a bid to get more power, turning him into a monster worse than anything danny has ever faced. he fights him for weeks until he finally manages to End him, exhausted beyond belief. when he takes a look at his surroundings, he finds himself surrounded by stars, with the earth underneath him. but he doesn't recognise any of the constellations.

clockwork shows up as he's panicking - putting them in time out - and calls him the king of the infinite realms. he tells him that he punched a hole in the fabric of reality during the fight and that he is now in a new dimension. he explains that his home couldn't sustain the damage done by pariah!plasmius and that nothing is left but rubble.

danny's core splinters and he wails. when he comes back to himself, clockwork is gone, only leaving a green sticky note behind saying, "heal, my king. the throne can wait until your decond death."

the justice league is wondering how to approach the wounded eldritch god they just saw pulverise an enemy with enough force to propel himself into a new dimension.
