The last of criminals were being loaded up to be taken away.

"Meet at the base. We need to talk about something." Robin informed the team.

The team was all together at Mount Justice watching as Robin typed furiously on a computer, mumbling to himself.

"Hey Rob, what you'd want to talk about again?" Wally asked.

Robin stopped typing and stood up. "During the mission me and Artemis were helped out from a super powered individual."

"Another hero?" Kaldur asked.

"I doubt it, I've been searching everywhere for any information, but I got nothing."

"What did they look like?"

"They had white hair and green eyes."

Connor and Wally's eyes widened.

"Did he by chance glow?"

"Yeah..why?" Robin asked, narrowing his eyes.

" I may have met him before." Wally said, avoiding eye contact."

"You met him before! When!"

"Uh, do you remember my solo mission a little while ago?

Robin just glared.

" Well, i'vemighthavegottencapturedandhewastheonetosaveme."

"And you didn't tell anyone!"

"In my defense, I had a concussion."

"Okay, anyone else met this person and didn't say anything?"

Connor sheepishly raised his hand.

Robin signed, "When?"

"During the rescue mission."

Danny was miserable. Tucker had asked him, 'Hey Danny, want me to enroll you in school?' And sure Danny liked school. He got pretty good grades before phantom, and he would definitely have plenty of time. So he stupidly said yes, and now he was suffering. He had forgotten about the english essay that was due the next day.

Danny couldn't think. His mind wouldn't stop wondering about the events from before. Why would regular thugs have those guns? Whatever it was, it looked like Danny would be interacting with Baby Justice more. Danny groaned.

The baby justice, or whoever they were, were starting to get on Danny's nerves. Well, basically, everything did that currently, but not as much they did.

Don't get him wrong. He understood what it was like to be a teen hero, and he respected them for it. But it didn't stop him from immediately groaning when he ran into bird boy and arrow girl.

It started out a pretty okay day. He got a passing score on a test, and it had been a slow work, which meant he'd could go home early. He had got to his trashy apartment and immediately passed out. although Danny wished that he'd could sleep till next week, a few extra hours were still much appreciated.

But fate had other plans. Danny had woken up late at night in a cold sweat, flashs of green and loud yelling, repeating in his head over and over. Danny got up and made his way to the window. He needed to get some air and to clear his head.

" I'm tired of just sitting here." Artemis complained, fiddling with one of her arrows absencemimdly.

" we need to be ready for anyone that leaves the building." Robin snapped back, not taking his eyes off of the building below.

Artemis already knew this, of course, but it didn't change the fact that she would rather be in the building, actually fighting instead of just waiting.

Her and Robin were stationed on the adjacent building to the one that was the base for a human trafficking scheme. The reason for them being outside and not inside with the others was because, apparently, the top people of this scheme were known flight risks.

Danny drifted through the night sky, trying not to remember his nightmare. Trying and failing. He couldn't help it. The images just kept popping up in his head. mostly ones of his parents' faces filled with disgust, rage, and just pure hatred,while they tried to blast him to bits.

Danny gets pulled out of his head by the sound of a whisper argument taking place on the rooftop below. Danny looks down and is immediately regretting going outside. The two people arguing were members from Young Justice because, of course, they were. If Danny didn't know any better, these run-ins were starting to seem like no coincidence. He definitely wouldn't put it past CW.

If Danny remembered right, the two people were Robin and Artemis. It looked like the two were on a stake out or something. They kept bickering back and forth, seemingly unaware of the goon that started to creep up behind them. Danny watched and prepared himself in the case he needed to step in.

When the goon was about a foot behind them, Robin swung around and swiftly knocked the guy out. But as soon as he did, multiple men started popping up. Some jumped from the next roof, others climbing up the sides.

Robin and Artemis seemed to have it handled. Things quickly went down after the goons pulled out wepons that shot similar green blasts that left smoldering spots.

It wasn't long before the duo was surrounded, hands up in surrender.

One of the men walked towards them, reaching out to grab them. That's when Danny stepped in, keeping his invisibility and, sucker punching the dude out cold.

All the goons charged at the two, who at the moment were frozen, both looking around in confusion before joining in the fight.

Danny was exhausted by the time the last guy was knocked out. Which was not saying a lot because he had been exhausted for weeks, but now, even more so. Danny looked over to Robin and Artemis, noticing how they were both tense and staring right at him. He looked down...

Opps... Apparently, he had dropped his invisibility during some point in the fight. Well, there's not much to do about it now.

Robin stared at the teen, who stared back with a pair of neon green eyes. The teen looked down for a few seconds, then looked back at them and shrugged.

"Cuffs?" The mysterious meta asked

"Um...what?" Robin asked completely confused.

The meta huffed and gestured to the unconscious people.

"Catch." Artemis said, walking past him and tossing the meta some rope. " Just tie their feet and hands for now." The boy nodded.

After all the men had been tied up, the three stood in silence, looking back and forth at each other.

Robin cleared his throat. "So, who -" the meta cut him off with a scoff.

Robin tried again.

" I'm Robin, and you are." Robin asked, keeping his body language friendly.

"Nun-ya." The boy replied. Hmm, it was a unique name. Maybe he wasn't a meta, but an ailen. "Business." The boy finished before fading away.

Robin stood there in disbelief, looking in the area the boy used to be, as Artemis laughed behind him.

I had a DC × DP idea.

Danny moves to either Gotham or Metropolis to hide from the GIW and his parents.

Danny isn't getting enough ecoplasm to fully sustain his core, but he can replace the ecoplasm with extra food or getting more sleep in order to make enough energy to sustain himself.

Unfortunately, he can't do either. For one, he is basically homeless and can't afford to buy large amounts of food. Secondly, he is too busy with school, work, and occasionally being a vigilante. He won't be getting the recommended 8 hours, much less more than that. So he stuck on low power mode.

Danny ends up running into the Young Justice team a couple of times during fights. He stays to help out, but as soon as it's over, he's gone. But after one of the battles, Kid is able to catch up to Danny and exchange numbers.

After that, Danny basically becomes an unofficial member of the team.

YJ sees Phantom as an angry and serious meta kid. They are annoyed that he still leaves as soon as the missions are over and that he doesn't really talk to them except if it has something to do with the task at hand. But they still think of Phantom as their friend who is very reliable and caring.

____

Later, after a practically tough mission, Danny passes out and detranforms from using too much energy.The team frantically takes him back to Mount Justice or to The watchtower, where Danny gets some much needed sleep.

Danny wakes up after a few days and notices he is in a medbay. A few minutes after that, he's taken to be integrated by the Justice League.

____

YJ comes back to their usually grumpy teammate laughing and chatting with the Flash while chowing down on a speedster's amount of food. They stand there in total shock of the complete personality change. When it dawns on them, this is Phantom's normal personality.

The whole time, he was just very hangry and tired.
