Hey, does anyone remember that one episode of the OG teen titans where it was that contest of champions or whatever? Becuase...
"Welcome, champions all! I am the Master of Games, and you are hereby invited to compete in the Tournament of the Strongest! Each of you have been specially chosen as the smartest and strongest each species has to offer."
"Hey, isn't that a fourteen-year-old?"

My DC x DP Masterpost
Here is my masterpost of works that fall into the category of a crossover of DC comics and Danny Phantom. Mostly, these will be notfics. If any of the links are broken please message me ASAP. Edit: I will not be doing taglists because people are quite frankly abusing the idea.
What's a notfic?
So, this was really common in fandom like 10 years ago but it's less common now so I'm just including this quick explanation in case. Notfic/Not!Fic is the halfway point between an actual fic and a prompt. It mostly sort of has the tone of describing another fic to somebody, or working out an ongoing plot with a friend (e.g. Instead of writing out an entire set of dialogue, a notfic might just put "Jason and Tim discuss why they both want to fake their deaths").
Permissions Housekeeping
I totally don't mind if anyone wants to take all or part of what I've written for any prompt and write an actual fic or create another transformative work as long as I'm appropriately credited. If you're just taking the most oblique inspiration from something I've made I'd appreciate at least a tag so I can read it!
Also if you'd like to tag me in any of your works please do, provided that it's the first if it's in a series and not Jazz/Jason as the main pairing, please.

Danny around 16 human years is working with the JL as a representative for the current King of the Infinite Realms (he’s his own representative because he wanted to meet the JL), about some Realm objects being in this world that really shouldn’t.
The JL keep making culturally disrespectful comments and unintentional insults about the Realms citizens. Eventually one of them not believing Danny is a ghost asks how he died if he’s so adamant on being dead. This results in Danny snapping at the League. Completely terrifying all of them and starts yelling about how disrespectful all of them have been the entire time, leading to a crash course in Realm decorum.
Eventually he starts explaining how asking about someone obsessions or how they died are extremely offensive and considered aggressive actions towards all types of ghosts, even realm born and halfas.
Danny realizes too late they don’t know about halfas and starts panicking over giving away his human identity. And has to come up for an explanation on what halfas and realm borns are. Danny who is blushing out of embarrassment and stuttering to find an explanation looks around, sees the bat symbol on batman. Explanation for half ghosts and born ghosts, Bat=> bird=> BIRDS AND BEES!!
Danny then spends a good 30 minutes attempting to explain how reproduction works for ghosts and between species, except Danny doesn’t know how ghosts reproduce. And health was a freshman year class, meaning he missed most of it and and also has no idea how human reproduction let alone cross species reproduction works. Danny either gives them info that makes so little sense it must be right or what sounds like a 4 year olds idea of how babies are made, but he’s the representative so he must be telling them accurate information.
Eventually the league runs into Vlad Masters and hear him talk about halfas. The league is like “we know what those are!” and Vlad thinks his identity is compromised until they start talking about something that sound like a extremist conspiracy theory. Vlads just like “how did you come up with that?!?” The league say Phantom told them that and Vlad realizes that Danny has no idea how any species reproduce.
Then Danny refuses to listen to Vlad try to explain ghost and human reproduction to him, because ‘Vlads just a Froot Loop’.

Time Unveiling
Danny’s got a problem with a medallion. ClockWork, meanwhile, is busy being a startling little shit; but not too busy to help. (I’m pretty sure the background music to this would just be the Observants screaming)
Tropes used: What Have I Become and Take A Third Option
ClockWork smiles slightly to themselves as Daniel enters, promptly floating over to the Ancient time ghost and states, sounding both impressively annoyed and like the most confused creature ever, “what is this shit”.
ClockWork glances to the young halfa, who’s holding a medallion out at arms length; of course Daniel wouldn’t be confused if it was a time medallion, but it wasn’t, not that that surprised ClockWork in the slightest. ClockWork points a finger at it lazily, looking like a circle with eight arrows coming off of it and inside another circle, “that symbol’s a Chaossphere. A frozen explosion, two things or worlds slamming together to form something new in a grand display. Suits you quite nicely I’d say”.
Daniel grumbles, “you know what? Now I’m more confused. Why can I make this thing? Why did I? It won’t even go away. What kind of power even is this? You’ve got your medallion shit, so I figured you’d be at least kinda helpful. Plus”, Daniel yanks down the top of his jumpsuit revealing the very same symbol tattooed in red on his ghostly flesh, “it’s green when I’m human. Oh yeah, it’s also hurting me. The Zone is going on?”.
ClockWork chuckles, they knew Daniel had scoured his parents' books and work, tried to find anything, before coming to them. So yes, he was a bit frustrated and yes, ClockWork absolutely was bugging him a bit. “I already gave you the answer. But there is more for you to ask”.
“What does what it’s called have to do with anything? Or are you talking about the meaning thingy...”, Daniel snaps his fingers and points at ClockWork, “geez, I’m something new created from two worlds slamming into each other in some absurdist explosion”, glaring slightly, “but why’s it on me? And the pain?”.
ClockWork nods slightly, “better questions. Still the wrong ones”.
Daniel groans, “I don’t know about you, but pain tends to make thinking up questions more than slightly difficult”, but he floats after ClockWork as they head towards the wall with many time medallions hanging. ClockWork just ignores Daniel’s comment, tapping one of their time medallions as they speak, “tell me, how many ghosts do you know with medallions? What kind of ghosts are they?”.
Daniel squints at them slightly, “there’s you of course -gear-shaped obviously-, Nocturne -a star-shaped one-, Overgrowth -flower-shaped I think-, and Observants -eye-shaped in a surprise to no one I’m sure. That I know of anyway, Vortex probably has one. It’s not like other ghosts go around throwing theirs at me”, chuckling at ClockWork slightly, “you practically shoved yours in my face”.
ClockWork waves him off, “mine have more uses. It’s far safer for Nocturne to use those created helmets than medallions after all. Overgrowth’s only plants' seeds in the mortal realm. The Observants ones are just spy cameras of course”, ClockWork gives Daniel a clear ‘remember what else I asked you’ look.
Daniel looks at the medallions on the wall and shrugs a little, “you lot are all Guardians -I think the word was-“, Daniel counts off on his fingers, “time, sleep, plants, and aren’t the eyeballs ‘law’ or something?”.
ClockWork smirks, “indeed, and they’d really prefer you’d stop forgetting. Being that you are co-workers in a sense”.
“Excuse? What do you mean co-workers? Since when do I work with them?”, Daniel scratches his head a little, “well I guess I do keep order and shit. Still though”.
“Think a bit harder”, ClockWork gestures loosely to Daniel’s medallion, which he’s still holding away from himself like it will eat him, “every Guardian has a medallion”, ClockWork floats over to one of their viewing screens; while Daniel just floats, clearly thinking.
After not too long Daniel near shouts, “no, uh-huh, I don’t think so. This thing is not mine”, Daniel gestures at the medallion wildly, “it just...likes me? It’ll go home and find it’s Master or whatever. I am not doing shit with this”.
ClockWork makes their voice sound chiding, “Daniel”. They don’t think they need to go pointing out every reason why Daniel’s medallion is very much his.
Daniel slumps some and looks from his medallion to ClockWork a few times, whining a bit, “but what if I don’t want it?”.
“The universe decided it was time, that you were ready. So thus, you are. Besides, power is far greater and safer in the hands of those who do not truly seek nor want it”.
Daniel frowns and floats to be beside the time ghost, one hand curled close to his chest, the other still holding his medallion while he eyes it warily, muttering, “you’ve seen how dangerous I can be with power...”.
“And if you’d recall, your older self had no such medallion, was not a Guardian in any sense”.
Daniel eyes the medallion a little less cautiously, “huh”, after a while, “so, um, that me’s not possible anymore then?”.
ClockWork pats his head with a slight smile, though says nothing. While Daniel plays with his medallion a little, “sooooooo.... What do I do with it? The heck am I even supposed to be a Guardian of?”, groaning some and glaring at his medallion, “since I don’t have a goddamn choice”, frowning before snapping, “and why is this shit hurting me”.
“You’re human still”.
Daniel coughs a little, “did you really just give me that blunt of an answer? And so what? This thing wants me to be fully offed? Which just, like, no”.
ClockWork watches as Daniel winces and rubs his chest, as expected, his body was making it as clear as it could to him how this situation needed to play out. Daniel just stares at the floor a little horrified. ClockWork understands that Daniel really did need things spelled out for him sometimes, so they speak again, “expected really, Guardians are full ghosts with powers far beyond what even regular ghosts can handle. Your ghost half, in it’s half ghost state, simply can not handle it”, pointing at Daniel’s hand that’s wrapped around his medallion, “which is why your body won’t let you put that down. It’s hampering your power, so you don’t obliterate yourself”.
Daniel glares at it but stops trying to keep it as far away from himself as possible, though not letting it get too close, “why me? Why does this shit always have to be me? Why can’t Vlad get stuck with some bullshit for a change?”.
ClockWork chuckles, “ah the words of every Guardian ever. Though I find it quite amusing that your ‘why’ is quite apparent. As I’ve already told you, it’s all in how you came to be”.
Daniel just snaps, “Vlad’s a halfa too”.
“He faced his existence. You embraced it wholly. All of existence collected and culminated within you, making you true heir to it all”.  
Daniel sighs, “back to the chaossphere? thing. So what? Am I’m the Guardian of chaos or some shit?”.
ClockWork deadpans, “do I look like the Guardian of gears to you?”.
Daniel screws up his face and laughs a little, “point”, before sighing and staring down at his medallion, “so then what? Obviously the whole gear shape represents the clock thing with you. Is this chaos thing just calling out my hectic existence? And you’re distracting me with a mystery from the whole this is not okay thing, because I am sixteen, my existence is already a mess. And y’ know there’s the this is trying to kill me, and apparently, I have to let it thing”, Daniel ends while glaring at ClockWork slightly, who smirks.
ClockWork holds up a finger, “it is not your chaos that your medallions symbol represents, but rather think what the symbol itself represents; as I have already told you. A gear is an important part of anything that watches time, without it nothing can turn. Those that sleep do so most often under stars. Flowers are the key to pollination. And one can not truly watch without eyes to view it. So if you need to think of it in another way, what is the one thing that can’t not exist without chaos?”.
Daniel grumbles, “I’d say ‘order’ but this clearly isn’t some yin and yang shit”. ClockWork smiles to themselves over the obviousness of that and how Daniel doesn’t look to them for confirmation of his statement. While Daniel continues, “I’d also say ‘myself’, but that’s a duh and also not an answer at all. Guess closer technically, the whole two worlds slammed into on-”, Daniel cuts himself off and goes a little wide-eyed, glaring at ClockWork, “don’t you dare tell me I’m supposed to be the Guardian of both worlds”.
ClockWork smirks, “existence is the word for it. The realm of mortals and the realm of the dead, together they make all of existence. Yet they are separate things”, Daniel glares harder while ClockWork continues, “except, of course, in you. Now that won’t be the case anymore should you die, which you’ve said must happen”.
Daniel snaps, “I am not fully dying. I refuse. If I have to just carry this thing everywhere and be in pain then fine”, wincing and groaning a little, “so what am I supposed to be the Guardian of?”.
“The combination. The in-between. The Veil, Daniel. The very thing that separates your two worlds, protects and contains them. Guards them”.    
Daniel squints for a beat before laughing, “so the thing that guards existence needs a Guardian? That’s actually hilarious”, before pausing, “wait...isn’t that worse and even more than being the Guardian of existence?”.
ClockWork nods, making Daniel glare and groan loudly, but he stops as ClockWork speaks, “you’ve been doing a fine job thus far, even without the proper powers at your command”.
“Excuse?”.
ClockWork chuckles, “did you really believe your need and desire to keep peace on both sides, control who got to cross between and what they would do if you let them hang around, and fight those who opposed you; was purely because of protecting your home and loved ones? Did you ever truly deeply question why you had a protection Obsession?”.
Daniel grumbles, “if anyone else had said that to me, I’d feel like an idiot”, throwing his hands out to the side and looking up at ClockWork, “I just figured my Obsession was what it was, because ghosts kept attacking my town and I kept having to save everyone. So it just developed into one”, Daniel sighs, “guess I should have seen that coming. Nothing’s ever simple for me”, pointing at ClockWork with the hand that’s gripped around his veil medallion, “I am still not fully dying for this”.
ClockWork talks while Daniel is clearly trying to suppress another wince, “you won’t be able to hold onto that forever. Your body will resort to the only way to protect itself that it can”.
“No. I am not being a full ghost. No offence or whatever, but no. Not happening. I will cast my whole arm if I have to, wrap it in duct tape, I will eat this thing if I have to”.
“That would work, until you get decapitated, or gutted, or cut in half, or impaled in the right spot, or dissec-”.
Daniel cuts them off, “I get it, I get it!”. Running a hand through his hair and crossing his legs, coming to float slightly above the floor, “so what am I supposed to do? Cause fully dying is not an option”.
“It’s not that bad, you’re hardly the first Halfa to become a Guardian”.
Daniel waves them off, clearly what they’ve said hasn’t set in quite yet, “it’s not the same for you, were you ever even ali- wait, WHAT?!?!?!?!”.
ClockWork chuckles at the gaping Halfa before changing a viewing screen to the very far past. Showing a twenty-year-old blonde nomad with a scar over one eye, clearly they were a human. Daniel gapes more as a purple ring of light appears changing the human into a ghost much like ClockWork but far more human-looking. Daniel sputters as he watches halfa ClockWork float about some kind of temple, “ClockWork...the... fuck? You, what?”, shaking his head and looking to ClockWork, “you, you’ve been through this, went through this. You know, you understand”, looking back at the screen just catching a last glimpse of what and who ClockWork used to be, Daniel muttering, “were you okay with it? With...dying, fully dying?”.
ClockWork frowns slightly, it had been a long time since then, they hadn’t really understood their own existence back then. Of course, much the same could be said about Daniel. But Daniel’s existence wasn’t one that would ever come with the burden of knowing and seeing everything. But they had been okay with their partial and full death, there had been little reason not to be, “I was and am. But you know I am a solitary thing, as I have always been. So as such, I lost nothing to gain everything”, chuckling a little, “plus, I saw it as a higher purpose. Gift from the gods. It was a very different time back then”.
Daniel nods with a bit of a frown and fiddles with his Veil medallion, “not the same for me. I’m not okay with this. Fuck fate”.
ClockWork smirks at that, holding up a finger and floating off a little, “and you never have been one to be at the whims of fate. Never one to play by the rules, and of course, neither have I”, ClockWork keeps speaking as Daniel turns his head around and raises an eyebrow at the old-time ghost, “you see, back in the day, the Observants were much more willing to attempt at meddling with the humans. Let’s just say they annoyed one very particular human who decided to annoy them back, by punching a hole clean through the veil and stealing one of their artefacts”, ClockWork gestures at the viewing screens, “sure, maybe said portal was unstable, and maybe it collapsed on that human while they were carrying said artefacts thusly fusing them together; eternally pissing off the Observants”.
Daniel clearly can’t help but laugh, “that is a power move if I’ve ever heard one”, shaking his head and sighing, “and why do I feel like there’s some meaning behind you telling me this?”.
“Always, Daniel. After all, it is only you who has said any full death needed to occur now”.
Daniel squints at them, “you pretty heavily implied it, what with the whole living even partly can’t handle this”.
ClockWork nods, “which is the case, but you’re already fully dead”.
Daniel sputters and coughs, sounding a bit strangled, “no??? No I’m not???”.
ClockWork pokes a particular thermos enough so it audibly wobbles. Daniel gapes, speaking as he floats over and stares between ClockWork and Dan’s thermos, “are you trying to imply that I can and even should just shove this off to the psycho evil older full ghost me? Just...stuff this in the thermos with him? Have you lost your mind ClockWork?”.
ClockWork shakes their head slightly, while that would certainly piss off the Observants something fierce, not to mention confuse Dan to an impressive extreme. “Hardly, that wouldn’t work at all. You though he may be, he is not the same you. I’m sure you’ve wondered plenty why I didn’t simply stop you from becoming him, rather than wait for you to trap him”.
Danny sighs, “I though that was something about teaching me about what I could become and the whole responsibility with my power thing. Capturing him was me overcoming him, my possible evil future”.
“It served for that purpose as-well, it served for plenty of things. You know me because of it after-all”.
Daniel nods a little but glares at the thermos and crosses his arms, before wincing and lifting his arms away from his chest a little, “so what the Zone does he have to do with this? How does a different and not actually me version of what I could have been help anything?”.
ClockWork smirks and lets silence hang in the air for a beat, ensuring their words have impact, “consume him”
“What???”.
“You heard me”.
Daniel coughs, “you...you want me to eat him? That seems actively more insane. Are you sure you haven’t gone insane?”.
ClockWork holds up a finger, “drink actually, and hardly. Really, he’s you, so if you really want to look at it another way, it’s not much different from absorbing a duplicate”.
Daniel gapes at them, “that is, that is not even on the same planet- no, it’s not even in the same dimension, as being the same thing”, then looking to the floor and grumbling, “but now I’m going to think about that next time I duplicate and be deeply disturbed”. Daniel looks back up to ClockWork when they chuckle, Daniel asks sounding a little annoyed, “how does doing that to him help this shit?”.
ClockWork grins, “you can shift between half-ghost and half-human, why not shift into full ghost as well. Able to shift back of course”.
Daniel blinks, “so you’re telling me, that if I eat, drink, whatever, him. I’ll be able to just, transform into a full ghost without actually being one? That is so many kinds of absurd that I probably should have seen this coming”.
ClockWork nods in agreement, “your existence is an absurdist wonderland most of the time. Don’t fret about any preparations, you were quite expected”, ClockWork grabs the thermos and gives it a little shake, the sloshing of ectoplasm seems to reverberate; and if ClockWork shook the thermos a little meanly, well, no one would blame them.
Daniel pulls a slightly disgusted face, “oh Ancients, you’re serious, it wasn’t some kind of riddle thing”, Daniel grimaces more, “is he dead dead? Like, faded and dissolved into ectoplasmic goop?”.
“Oh he’s very much still with us, if I offed him he’d be useless”. ClockWork just chuckles while Daniel mutters about how he’s not sure if that’s better or far far worse.
Daniel takes the thermos cautiously but makes no movement to even consider doing anything with it, “do I get anything out of this? Because this is a whole ass sandwich of ‘no’ and ‘do not want’. I can deal with pain, this shit is a way harder pill to swallow”, Daniel screws up his face and wheezes a little, “Zone, unintentional joke”, sighing, “well that’s one way of my brain trying to say ‘this is okay’, which it’s not, thank you very much”.
ClockWork waves him off slightly, “you’ll come to brag about it”.
“I think the fuck not”.
ClockWork chuckles a little and smirks, “you like to pester the Observants as much as I do, you’ll shove it in their faces the first chance you get”.
Daniel mutters, “I’m not sure if I hate you or love you for how that is utterly true. Screw those damn eyeballs”, Daniel squints, “wait, why aren’t they trying to stop this? And you never answered my question? Cause again, this just all around sucks for me”.
“They don’t know. Your future evil self is outside of time and thus their sight. So to is anything too directly involving him. And such an ability-”, winking, “-would very much carry over”. Deciding to nip a worry in the butt before Daniel even voices it, “of course, since I’m your Guardian, I’ll still be able to see you just fine. As for what else you stand to gain; power obviously, true immortality, dominion, and causing generalised confusion”.
“That last one is very tempting”, looking over his veil medallion, “guess chaossphere thingy does make a lot of sense”, shaking his head and looking back to ClockWork, “what kind of power are we talking here? Because again, no. I don’t want it. Basic powers are one thing, a new blast or shields, but something major? Really op? Pass. And I would bitch about this Guardian stuff seeming like a bunch of responsibility but, apparently, I’m already doing the job”.
“You, through this particular situation, would have something of a built-in safety lock. Your Guardian powers would be bound to your full ghost form, so you would have to be in it to use them. Or really”, ClockWork gestures to their staff, “you could use a conduit in more genuine”
Daniel squints, “why do you mean ‘in more genuine’, I’m pretty sure I don’t have a staff”.
ClockWork taps the cap of the thermos lightly, “who said it had to be a staff. Do you really think the Veil Master wouldn’t have the ability to send ghosts back from whence they came?”.
Daniel winces a little and hovers his hand over his core a bit, ClockWork frowns slightly, “it’s only going to hurt you more as time passes. You are ready, your body is, Daniel. You just have to let it be. The universe makes its decisions more carefully than even I”.
Daniel grumbles, “telling me to freaking consume my evil self does not scream careful or serious even slightly”.
“I wouldn’t pick a worse off option just to amuse myself. Absurd just suits you and works for you”.
Daniel stares at them for a little bit before glancing at Dan’s thermos and back, “this won’t, like, give him some kind of influence over me will it?”.
ClockWork shakes their head firmly, “not in the slightest. But you will look similar to him, as should be expected. And while you do behave more ghostly while in this half-ghost form, it’s still hampered by being half-human. That will not be the case in your full ghost form”.
Daniel sighs and nods a little, ClockWork knows he could have put up much more of a fight about this but of course he wouldn’t. Daniel wasn’t exactly attached to ideals of normalcy, but he liked to try. Though ClockWork did get a level of joy out of really catching him off guard and slightly disturbing him. While Daniel comments, “yeah that makes sense and good. Wait a minute”, Daniel squints and eyeballs ClockWork’s staff, “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you use your time stuff without the staff”.
ClockWork speaks as if that question had never been asked, they’ve got to cause some mischief after all. Pointing at Dan’s thermos, “you hold everything you need now. Whether you walk away from it and keep the pain, or embrace burdens as you’ve chosen to do time and time again; is up to you”, then promptly teleporting away; though they continue to watch closely of course.
Daniel just blinks a few times before he near shouts, “are you really just gonna leave me here wondering whether you are fully dead or goddamn vored your own evil self and just use a conduit?!? ClockWork you cheeky bastard!”.
Danny looks around and grumbles, “prick”, before squinting and realising he’s being a bit of a dumbass, “right, they literally said they were okay with fully dying. I’m a dumbass”. Holding up Dan’s thermos and glaring at it a little, “I hate this. Sure, like, injecting this shit into my body would probably be way weirder”, Danny pauses and scrunches up his face, “okay who am I kidding, that’s an insanely disturbing mental image. Though at least then I wouldn’t have to know what this jerk tastes like”. Danny sighs and floats to sit down, “goddamnit, I am going to do this stupid shit, aren’t I. Why am I like this. Why do I do this to myself”, grumbling, “and why does clocky”.
Danny shouts at the air, knowing damn well ClockWork is listening/watching, “I still don’t like this! My existence is already too much bullshit and I handle power stupidly! But we both know I don’t back down from weird and burdens!”.
Danny glares down at the thermos sitting in his lap, grumbles “fuck it”, and rips off the cap. Flinching away from the opening for a beat until it is very very clear that there will not be any ghost -Dan- or beam of energy coming out. Leaning his head over the opening, and looking down at the green soupy mess, “whelp, that’s disgusting”.
Looking back to his hand and getting reminded of the pain in his core, “yup, nope, can’t be chicken shit now. Fuck you Dan, you’ve always been a hard pill to swallow”, then almost aggressively throwing back the thermoses contents straight down his gullet. Only swallowing harshly a few times as the thick acidic semi-liquid slides down; leaving a slightly warm coating in his throat as he gets up and wipes off his lips.
Coughing slightly and jerking from his core spasming, before pretty well getting face fucked by raw power and swaying a little. Which seems to be the moment ClockWork chooses to reappear, patting him on the back lightly.
ClockWork chuckles a little to themselves as Daniel glances at them with a slightly disgusted look before he curls in on himself and starts twitching. Arches of power and energy spiralling off of him, ClockWork’s just glad there’s not really anything breakable in this room. Turning their head to look out the window, watching as one massive spiking energy ripple shoots out to the far reaches of the Ghost Realm. And so it would seem, a new Guardian has risen....or is writhing on the floor.  
Daniel rolls over and glares at the ceiling before looking to ClockWork, “I would say ‘we never speak of this again’ but I damn well know we both will”.
ClockWork smiles slightly, “I doubt you could resist”, before offering a hand to Daniel and pulling him to float back upright. It’s not that he needed the help, more that it was a sign of friendship and trust, him accepting the offering.
After a bit of silence Daniel starts up a bit awkwardly, “soooo...”, Daniel Flips over his Veil medallion in his hand a few times, “what now?”. Daniel scratches at his stomach a little before pulling a slightly disgusted face and jerking his hand away, muttering, “I’m going to have no appetite for supper”.
ClockWork smirks and floats over to their viewing screens, “you could ignore this entire situation, go on with your days like this never happened, and like you don’t have new powers; until, through some unusual and very specific situations, you need said powers”.
Daniel squints at the air before turning his head to look at ClockWork, “the fact that you could be talking about my telekinesis and pyrokinesis, instead of what just happened, probably says a lot”.
“I was thinking more of your lack of needing to breath”.
Daniel blinks, “I genuinely forget about that”.
ClockWork laughs slightly before gesturing to the viewing screens, “care to lose your breath laughing over watching my favourite t.v. show”, then waving a hand at the viewing screens, changing them to show the Observants pretty well freaking out.
Daniel snickers and floats over, “oooh new episode”, before jerking and going a little cross-eyed watching two rings of light form around his feet and head before moving across him to converge on his chest. “Uh, that’s new”, and feeling his legs promptly change to a ghostly tail of their own accord.
ClockWork chuckles at Daniel functionally looking like a 5’4” Dan with pupil-less sclera green eyes and constant ghostly tail, “if you’ll recall, no Guardians have legs. Ghostly tails serve as a convenient outlet for our excessive levels of power”.
Daniel blinks, “Guardian being a title that applies to me is way too weird. I still want nothing to do with that”, then he sticks a finger in his mouth and toys with the large fangs and tongue, “this is gonna take some getting used to”.
“It’s your place in the universe, young Veil Master”.
Daniel crosses his muscular arms, “no, I’m just Phantom, or Danny Phantom, or DP, or...Ancients I actually have a lot of names”.
ClockWork smirks, “Phantom, The Master Of The Veil”. Daniel just glares at them harder, though smiling deviously a little as ClockWork adds in, “Of course, the typical laws of the Ghost Realm don’t apply to Guardians. Not that Walker won’t try”.
Daniel snickers, “I have no sympathy for that one, though I'm still not happy about this. At least powers, or whatever, don’t seem to be acting up”.
“Focus on what you can sense. I can always sense the state of time, Nocturne sees every dream, the Observants can sense any majorly broken law, OverGrowth feels everything plants do and the number of plants in any given area”.
Daniel grumbles, “I already have a ghost sense”, before blinking and facepalming, “that’s another Guardian thing I already had isn’t it?”.
ClockWork chuckles and nods slightly even if Daniel’s not looking at them, “indeed but pay closer attention, you’ll find so much more now”.
Daniel screws up his face before blinking and muttering barely above a whisper, “everyone, I can feel everyone”, shaking his head, “yeah that’s a little much, fucking Zone”.
ClockWork pats Daniel’s head as he transforms back to his half-ghost form and back full ghost a few times. Daniel watching the muscle definition on his arm change between the two forms before snorting, “somehow that’s weirder than the kinda voyeuristic everyone sense thing”, looking to ClockWork, “I’m guessing you aren’t going to just tell me all that I can do now?”. ClockWork just smirks making Daniel groan and gesture to his veil medallion, “well can you at least throw me a bone with the thing that caused all this crap?”
ClockWork chuckles, “push your energy into it and see for yourself”.
ClockWork watches as Daniel holds up the medallion by its strap and looks away from it slightly, like it might explode, while it starts glowing, a green swirling portal promptly opening up. ClockWork smirks as said portal clearly starts to suck Daniel in and he looks to ClockWork and deadpans, “oh you cheeky bastard”, before disappearing through the portal.
ClockWork smiles, Daniel being a Guardian was impressively going to stay unknown by the Ghost Realm at large for quite a long time. Just like how his Ghostly Wail was relatively unknown, it was more of a rumoured power than a confirmed one.
Danny manages not to stumble and land flat on his face back in Amity. Righting himself and changing back human, holding up his medallion, “teleportation and ghost portal creation?”, getting an idea after feeling his ghost sense go off. Danny spins around and whips the medallion straight at The Box Ghosts face, a portal forming as soon as it contacts his ecto-field.
Danny laughs to himself a little as he catches his falling medallion after the portal closed, “well I’ll be damned”, smirking and throwing his medallion at a tree and snorting as a portal appears and sucks away the tree, “that’s going to be one confused tree”.
Shaking his head and checking the time, promptly spinning on his heel and heading to meet up with his friends at the Nasty Burger.
Danny chuckles and gives a slightly cruel smirk as he slides into the booth, “so I vored Dan today”, Danny keeps talking like his two friends aren’t gapping at him, “also became a god, but that’s just a part-time thing. Pretty sure I won’t be getting paid though. Fully dead too, but not, 'cause that’s apparently a thing now. And ClockWork might be insane”.
Both Sam and Tucker sputter before saying, “what???”. Danny just smirks.
End.
