Life on the farm pt 5 ghosts are in fact scary

The training session goes well, Danny shows off a little (he most definitely wasn’t checking out aqualad shut up Clark) but ultimately he decides against transforming in front of them. Ever since he defeated pariah his ghost form has slowly started to…change and the last thing he needed was mass hysteria. Before he leaves he corners Conner “I don’t care what Supes says im your brother whether you like it or not, I’ve been waiting my whole life to be a big brother, he is NOT taking this from me. I’ll pick you up next week and we can hang out.” Danny heads over to the zeta tube before turning around and heading the other way “yeah not doing that again, c’mon cujo let’s head home.”he pauses before looking Clark straight in the eye, “I can tell them or you can tell them, but before the end of the day someone is telling Ma and Pa about Conner.” Before Clark could try to stop him the two of them disappeared.

Kid flash then said the words that sealed their fate “y’know, for a guy that claims to be a ghost he wasn’t that scary, I mean really dropping the temperature, shadows? That’s child’s play.”

No one noticed a silent figure hidden on the ceiling or her sharp smile so very full of such… lovely promises

———

It started out small.

Things start going missing at first, just small things, a communicator that wasn’t where he left it. Furniture moved an inch to the left, small things that Are mostly ignored

Then comes the sounds, first it’s the sound of a girl laughing echoing through the halls and then it all came to a head.

The team found themselves trapped in the mountain with red tornado offline and the power stuck on the emergency back up they tried to stick together but they were quickly separated by the emergency hatches slamming down. So here we find Wally speeding through the halls, trying to find a way to reunite with the rest of the team when he comes across a little girl crying in a corner. Cautiously he approached the little girl asking her what’s wrong,

“He didn’t want me, I wasn’t good enough…” while he’s confused he starts to get angry somebody hurt a little girl, probably the same person that broke into the mountain he kneels in front of the girl

“Don’t worry kid I’m gonna get you out of here and he’s not gonna hurt you again.”

The little girl sniffles, her face still hidden in her arms “you promise?”

Wally sighs “yeah I promise now let’s get out of here.” He goes to help her up

“Leave? I can’t leave, he’ll get angry. He always gets angry!” Wally pauses as the room starts to feel unbearably still, he tries to move, just a finger, just an inch, as he feels the room closing in around him. He tries to look away but his eyes are drawn to the little girl as she slowly stands, her hair hanging in her face She looks up and screams Ị̷̼̦͈͎͇̋͆͛͑́͘͘͘ ̵̢͍̯̗̻̮̲͖͔͓͆̈́͂̌̅͂̾̀̊͠C̴̖̦͐̈͊̈́͆̉͋̿̾̒A̴̢̙̱̙͓̺̝͆͆́̕N̶̨̛̻͙̱̩̜̓́̀̽̿͆͒̇̍͘͠ ̸̨̢̡̘̻̗̜̼̗̔̂͑N̵̢̟͉̦̫͉̮̱͉̙̖̝̑E̶̻̞̰͔̫͔͙̺͕̥̬͂͐͊̓͂̿̈́͒ͅV̶̤̖̮͚͇̪̓͆̽̿͊̀͑͠Ê̵̛͉̭͖͚̥̼̱̺̱̜̻̺͛̓̋̇̂̏͘Ṟ̴͓͕̤́͜ ̵̣͚͐̑͂̅̕L̴̨̝̥̰̱̜̰̮̪̙̦̩̍̉̓ͅȨ̷̡͖͖̘̞̰̯̄͗́̌̃́̐̅́̽̉̚͘Ḁ̷͙́͗́̿͊V̸̮̘̄̈́̀̀̀̉̂E̸̤̻͔͛͊̀̓̚!̷̧̛̃̎!̶̨͖̜͈͎̳̩̬͚͒̅͐̊̀̔͂̀̆̉̍̂͝!̷̗̼͒̽̆̂̉̊̄͐́ͅ

Her face is half gone, melting into green goo as her eye falls out, before his very eyes her features grow sharper. She screams as she charges at Wally who squeezes his eyes shut using his arms to block his face with a shout he feels as though he’s been electrocuted and then… nothing. he opens his eyes and she’s gone, the lights flicker as he feels his heart beat impossibly fast. He races through the corridors before he finds himself back in the comm room, he races up to Robin who quickly turns around ready to strike.

DID YOU SEE HER?!?

“If you’re asking if I saw a little girl who is hanging from the ceiling with sharp eyes and large fangs staring like she wants to eat us, then yea I see her.” Wally tenses “See?!” He quickly turns around searching the ceiling as robin throws a flash grenade. But the little girl catches the grenade with a laugh and eats it whole. There’s a small puff of smoke leaving her mouth as she laughs, giving no other indication of her accomplishment. She drops to the floor, twisting her body at impossible angles, the two flinch at the sound of her cracking joints. With a low chuckle she says “don’t you want to play with me?”

The two young heroes scream

————-

Meanwhile

Clark would probably prefer to be in a haunted mountain than sitting at the living room table with his parents sitting across from him as Danny putters around in the kitchen preparing a pie for his new little brother.

“Clark Joseph Kent! I have never been so disappointed in my life!” Ma gave him a look that says not to interrupt

“Not only did you neglect to inform us of our youngest sons existence, but you basically made him feel ashamed for being made!”

“But ma!”

“Don’t you ‘but ma!’ Her, your mother is right. Luthor may be a piece of horse shit but that does not make any of this conners fault. That poor boy looks up to you, he woke up in this world by himself, you had us when you arrived, but all he had was luthor.”

Ma nods “that’s right! Now you are gonna bring that boy over for dinner and we are going to welcome him into this family with open arms. Danny is already making a pie so that leaves you with plenty of time to get your chores done, WITHOUT SUPERSPEED, while I run into town to pick up some groceries, Pa is gonna supervise.”

Danny walks in with a grin on his face “pies ready for the oven, but I gotta run out and pick up my cousin, she’s out making trouble, I can pick up Conner while I’m at it if you’d like?” Ma gives Danny a warm smile

“Oh! You’re bringing Ellie to dinner? How exciting! I thought you said she was stuck in the other universe” Danny laughs “the infinite realms are weird, what can I say. All I know is that I could feel it when she entered the dimension so I should probably go pick her up before she causes too much damage.” Danny gives a whistle and cujo comes running “I gave up figuring out how this one gets around a long time ago, he always finds me wherever I go.”

Ma and Pa smile “well that sounds lovely, We can’t wait to meet her.” With that Danny gives his parents a hug and pats Clark on the shoulder “don’t worry, once you get to know him youll realize he’s his own person, it gets a lot less awkward after that.” And Danny walks out the door and disappears.

——-

Back at the mountain

The team is in position, ready to strike but the creature who invaded the mountains seems to have multiplied each new creature more grotesque than the last Conner stood at the front of the group ready to defend as the creatures (for surely this was no mere little girl) slowly cornered the team when everything went COLD. The creatures looked up as a great pressure fell upon the mountain the creature laughed slowly as the turned to the team. Ḩ̵̢̣̝͖̭̝̮͇̮͎͕͚͊̈́̈̾̂̀̈́͝é̵̡̡̲͉̖͈͓̪̓̄̊̄̐͌͆̕͝͝ͅ’̸̧̘̘͙̝̥͑̇s̵̻̒͌̋ͅ ̸̢̞͓͉̝̜̘͂̑̈́̇͌͛̆͝ͅḩ̵́e̴̟͉̫̹̲̫̼̝͚͇̖̿̌̑̉͘͘r̴͕̝̦͔̣̣͎͈̜̅́̑̾̅͐̔ͅe̴̢̨̝̮͙̩͈̳̬̙͖̪̓͐

Conner tensed as the creature made to strike, but before it could reach the team a great overbearing shadow creature reached out and grabbed it by the collar.

Slowly the room returned to normal as the creature shrunk and the various beings vanished.

“Danny!” The little girl? Creature? None of them are sure anymore as she wrapped her arms around the creature

Everyone stared as the shadows coalesced into the form of none other than Danny Kent, casually holding the creature, that will surely haunt their nightmares for days to come, by the collar.

“How did you even get here?!” Danny laughed

“The old timepiece gave me a ride before booking it, you know how he is, but that’s not important. What’s important is why do you smell like pie?”

Danny laughs and he’s about to explain as Wally losses his shit and yells “what the actual hell is going on?!?”

“Hey man, I warned you. You just chose not to believe me.” He turns to Conner “meet my cousin Ellie, she’s my clone.” Conner looks at Ellie in surprise.

“I didn’t know you could make copies.” Danny comments

Ellie shrugs “their not as good as yours, I can never keep them stable enough for a fight, but they’re great for scaring teens.”

Robin comes up to Ellie “I gotta admit you had us going there.” He said with a laugh Ellie giggles in response

“That’s nothing, you should see Danny when he’s trying to scare people, he’s terrifying.” Danny laughs sheepishly

“That’s enough of that, Conner, ma should be putting the pie in the oven now, if we hurry we can help make dinner.” Conner looks at Danny confused.

“Don’t look at me like that, you’re family now cmon Clark’s gonna finish his chores before we get there at this rate.” With a huge smile the three head out.

Artemis turns to Wally with a scowl, what was that about ghosts not being scary, Wally gulped.

Clark did not get any pie that night, Lois made sure of it.

Honestly how may scenarios can they UST through before it boils over? We're gonna find out together anon:

PT 5

Tim wasn't avoiding Jason. It was just- 

Gotham was a big city. It wasn't like they saw each other all the time normally- not that this wasn't normal behavior for him, because again, he wasn't avoiding Jason. 

He was just busy. Really. 

There was a gang war brewing between some of the more established rogues that was boiling over into his territory that he was having to keep a close eye on, which combined with his regular cases and teamwork and job at W.E- 

Yeah, it was pretty standard to not see him for weeks without having to resort to avoiding the man. Easy to convince himself he wasn't doing it on purpose.

Well, it was easy until he was definitely, for sure going to see him and the pit in his stomach erupted in butterflies at the thought. 

It was a glancing blow- one he managed to mostly dodge, but with Fries 'close enough' meant at least a mild case of hypothermia. He's probably a bit more aggressive about making sure the man won't be able to slip his bonds before GCPD can collect him as a result.

"You look a little cold, Red Robin." Victor smirked as he watched Tim secure the device with trembling hands. He didn't bother with the banter this time- not about to give the man the satisfaction of hearing his teeth chatter. 

He knew he was in trouble when he was three buildings away from the scene- the shivering wasn't stopping even as he got further away from the source of the cold and his limbs were slowly getting clumsier. He swallowed his pride and opened the comm link when he almost stumbled off that third roof.

"O, I'm gonna have to call it tonight, Fries got a hit in." 

"Was it a direct hit? Does someone need to monitor you?" 

"I don't think so? Once I'm outta the suit I should be fine with standard procedure-" the thermal emergency blanket he pulled from his utility belt wouldn't be much help until after he removed the part of the suit currently chilling his skin, but- 

He was ten minutes out from any clothing caches he'd tucked around the city and accessing them from the rooftops was a no-go with his currently unreliable muscles. 

Tim bit back a groan and got to work on unarming the safety catches on the top half of his suit- a task proving herculean as tremors began wracking his body. Eventually he's beat- curled in on himself and clinging to the emergency blanket wrapped around his shoulders.

If he freezes to death in the height of summer he's gonna come back just to haunt Fries. That man thought he was annoying now? he could be so much worse. "On second thought- may need an extraction. Suit's frozen and I c-cant get it-" 

"-I've got 'im. ETA is two minutes." Hood interrupted and Tim had to mute his comm in order to let his opinion on that go unheard. It made sense that it was him, both logistically and in the 'pretty sure the universe hates me' sense. He hunkered down against a wall, still trying at the frozen-shut catch gracelessly, knowing if he could just get it off- 

"Easy, Birdy. I've got you." The modulated voice rang out as the man landed to his right, immediately crouching to take a look at what he was struggling with. Tim stopped, fighting to keep his shivering under control as he let Jason eye the frozen patch of Kevlar and come up with a course of action.

"Sorry 'bout this Babybird," Jason eventually murmured as he  pulled the kris from its sheath, leaning over Tim's frame and bringing the blade to the stuck catch. "You can afford a new suit, at least-" 

"Wait, don't-" Tim's eyes didn't leave those hands as the blade sliced through the weave- and the embedded booby trap- altogether. He flinched, then blinked down as nothing happened. "Huh. S'posed to have knockout gas. I guess I need to adjust the safety measures to withstand a lower temperature. The compound Freeze used was obviously newer- the reaction is stronger and longer lasting-" 

"-That's what you're focusing on right now?" Not even the Hood could obscure the incredulity from his tone. 

"Y-yeah." He answered simply.

Of course he's focusing on fixing his suit and getting his hands on the weapon Freeze shot him with to test- the alternative would be to focus on the fact that Jason was currently undressing him. He was freezing to death in the middle of summer- he didn't need to add the risk of spontaneous combustion to the mix. 

Jason let out a hiss at the angry red mark blooming across his torso once he'd sliced through enough of the suit to take a look. "Shit, Babybird-" Tim pulled the emergency blanket around his torso, closing his eyes and willing his hands to keep still, "-here." A heavy, warm weight surrounded his frame. He cracked an eye open and frowned down at the brown leather jacket.

"It's summer- why are you wearing this?" 

"Really? You wanna give me shit about that right now?"

"You could get heatstroke."

"I don't think my thermoregulation is what we should be focused on right now-" Jason huffed, making it clear even through the Hood that he was giving him a look as he zipped it closed. It was warm- of course it was, it was summer and Jason had been patrolling in it-

It smelled like him. He snaked his arms up from his side and tugged the collar up around his chin. 

"O, I'm taking him in. I'll keep you updated on his status-" Jason crouched again as he spoke, gathering him up in his arms and taking off. 

At least it wasn't a princess carry this time. He shut his eyes and focused on staying conscious- Jason would get him somewhere safe. 

Tim comes to in an unfamiliar room surrounded by a familiar smell. Gunpowder and leather and tobacco with an undercurrent of white tea scented soap- Jason. His eyes fluttered open and oh- the warmth surrounding him was Jason's arms, holding him tight to his chest. His own arms had wrapped around his middle, keeping the line of his body firmly against Jason's. 

And God, there was a lot of body there, holding him close and safe and warm-

The noise he made as he interrupted a line of thought he could not afford to go down while pressed so close was mortifying. 

"You were right," Jason murmured once he noticed Tim was awake, "B got Freeze's gun in the lab- it's a new compound. Gets colder and stays cold longer than the last one-" Tim could get used to waking up in Jason's arms being told he was right. That belonged right up there with his top five fantasies about the man- 

"W'happened?" Tim asked Jason's shoulder, not daring to meet his eyes at the moment. 

"Your temp kept goin' down- even after gettin' the frozen part of your suit off. Turns out the compound aerosolizes on impact- your suit was covered in a thin layer." Tim hummed to indicate he was listening and definitely not reciting the periodic table backwards between counting up to ten thousand by prime numbers, "Good thing your suit covers so much of your skin or we'd be having this conversation at the 'Cave." 

"This is much better," Tim murmured before he could stop himself, "sorry if I was a bad patient." He knew from experience he wasn't the most cooperative when largely incoherent- 

Jason laughed, a rumbling and throaty noise he felt as much as heard. He fought back a shudder definitely not related to his temperature. "You cooperated fine- more'n happy to be fed some tea and dragged to bed." 

Oh god, that definitely didn’t sound great- hopefully he wasn't too cooperative. Depending on which point Jason had pulled his own shirt off, it could go either way. 

"I'm probably good to go now, yeah?" He hadn't so much as made a move to extricate himself from his arms- or unwind his own from around him. He should- he should definitely get on that. 

"Just- one thing first," Jason leaned over him to reach for something, partially pressing him into the mattress as he did. Wow, okay- another thing to put up there on the fantasy list. Or another thing to not think about right now. Tim held his breath, watching Jason's hand brush his hair behind his ear and praying the pounding of his heart wasn't as audible as it felt- 

It was all he could do not to jolt away at the cold probe pressing into his ear. 

Oh, he was taking his temperature. That made much more sense than what he’d thought. It was- it's not like he'd expected something else- hoped for, maybe, but- 

Tim scrambled for wherever he had left his dignity, dropping his arms from the loose hold he still had around his waist and moving to grip the thermometer by himself.

"I can do that." Jason let go easily and Tim shut his eyes, focusing on breathing and not the warmth radiating off the man still at his side. Not touching now- much better for his sanity. He was already missing it. 

"Beautiful," Jason hummed over the beep, eyes focused on the readout when Tim risked a glance, "98.9. Your temperature's been stable for an hour. I'll let O. know you're outta the woods-" 

He did sit up at that.

"I've been out for an hour?!" It’d been almost dawn when he’d apprehended Freeze, he was definitely late for work-

"Three, actually." Make that very late for work. Jason grinned, moving to lean against his headboard. Surprisingly nice for a safehouse- and also not the thing to focus on right now. Probably better than letting his eyes follow the drag of the blanket as it slid down his expansive chest, which- 

He tore his eyes away and scrambled out of the bed. Oh thank God, he was still in his own underwear. Small mercies.

"Well- sorry I took up most of your morning. Hopefully I didn't mess anything up too badly-" there were clothes, considerately folded on the dresser that he just decided were his at this point and yanked on. The shirt hung loose, exposing his collarbone and sliding off his shoulder on one side. The less said about the pants and however many times it took to roll them so they wouldn't drag the better. 

Jason was smirking at him like he knew something he didn't and his money was on him saying something stupid in the span of time it took for him to go from disoriented to unconscious. He wasn't keen on sticking around to find out. "Thanks for the assist-" 

"I can give ya a ride home, y'know." Jason said easily, relaxed in the face of Tim's frenetic energy. “You’re gonna have a hell of a time gettin’ a cab to come to this neighborhood, even if it’s daytime.”

"You saved my life," Tim focused on tying the drawstring tight enough to not slide off his hips instead of looking his way, "I can't bum a ride off of you as well." 

"You can if I'm offering. So you have two choices- is The Red Hood or some random guy who looks a lot like a grown up Jason Todd taking you home, Prettybird?"

Tim folded his arms over his chest- "The Red Hood is not dropping me off at my building-"

"Great," Jason beamed a grin his way and crawled out of bed himself. Tim averted his eyes, "-now get outta the way, you took my fuckin' clothes and I need to get dressed." Tim beat a hasty retreat to the living room and debated climbing out the fire escape more than he would be willing to admit. 

His boots were probably destroyed, though. And Jason and him were definitely not the same size- Tim tugged the shirt up over his shoulder again and resigned himself to his fate. 

Jason, of course, only had a bike at this location. And, of course, Tim had no means to get into his apartment in his civilian identity on him since he'd been on patrol. He'd have to be let in.

Tim held on and prayed nobody besides the doorman would see him dropped off in clothes that definitely weren't his by a man who they'd fit very nicely. He was a relatively boring public figure- attempted assassinations or kidnappings notwithstanding- and liked to keep it that way. Jason would be a very good way to get into a lot of trouble- for either of his identities. 

With that in mind, he slid from the seat and kept his thanks brief, slipping past the doorman with a nod and not stopping until the penthouse doors slid shut behind him.

He buried his face in his hands and groaned. Damsel seemed pretty damn fitting at this point.

The Strength to Defend

When Kaldur woke again it was to the sound of pages turning. Phantom was sitting at the desk near the window reading a large book. He didn’t notice Kaldur waking at first so he was finally able to get a good look at his rescuer. The man’s hair was white as snow and it seemed to float as if being pushed by a current no one else could feel, his skin at an unearthly glow about it with just a tinge of green. His nose scrunched up as if he encountered a particularly frustrating problem before mumbling to himself.

“Anything interesting?” Kaldur asked with a soft grin. Phantom give a short scoff.

“Unless you count 12 different versions of the same treaty, each with different wording and slightly different conditions, then no, not particularly.” Phantom stood from his seat and walked to a nearby table. “I asked the Lunch Lady to make some food for when you woke, I promise it’s safe for humans.” He said with a smirk.

Kaldur stood from the bed and walked over to the table, when he lifted the cover for his meal to find a full meal of fish, salad, and bread. “It looks delicious, thank you.” Phantom smiled

“ I should hope so I promised her a week of babysitting her little gremlin Boxed Lunch, but she knows more about nutrition than I ever will” Phantom then proceeded to dig into his own meal of a glowing green hamburger. When he looked up from his food he noticed Kaldur was picking at his food. “You’re gonna want to eat up, Frostbite will be here soon to take a look at you and see if we can get the bandages off your gils.” Kaldur looked again at Phantoms glowing food.

“You’re certain this is safe for human consumption?” Phantom laughs at the doubtful look on Kaldurs face.

“Yes! I promise, believe it or not you’re not the only living guest I’ve had. They don’t come by as often but I try to keep my lair stocked with edible food.” He said with a wide smile showing off his sharp teeth.

With only a moment more of hesitation Kaldur began eating the food. Once they both finished eating Kaldur thanked Phantom for the food and he just waved him off. “Honestly all things considered I should be thanking you.” Kaldur gave him a confused expression “I know you’re worried about your friends, and I told you I would get you back soon, but it’s taking longer than I thought and you’re patience is much appreciated.” He looks Kaldur straight in the eye “I promise I will get you home as soon as possible, I have to finish these meetings and then I will be free to take you home.” Kaldur held his gaze before responding.

“I understand that your responsibilities are important, and you have already promised me that I would be able to return to the time I left. I see no reason to push you when you have already done so much, I have no idea how long I would have been stuck there if you hadn’t come along.” Just then there was a large knock at the door.

“Ah” Phantom said as he broke Kaldurs gaze “That’s probably Frostbite, I’m just gonna *cough* go get that.” He said with a nervous laugh quickly turning away, confusing Kaldur after all what could Phantom have to be nervous about. Phantom answers the door and to Kaldurs surprise a large yeti with an arm made of ice walks in. “I need to step out for a moment. Kaldur, Frostbite is just gonna check you over. I’ll be right back.”

“How are you doing today young man?” The yeti, Frostbite asks.

“I’m doing much better thanks to your aid, my thanks.” Kaldur replied only to be answered by a booming laugh.

“Between you and I, I really didn’t do much. It was the Great One who did most of the work that bandage is my doing but not much else.” He said as he lead Kaldur over to the bed “Now I’d like to check over your vital signs and get a look at those gils.”

“That’s fine.” Kaldur sat down and Frostbite began checking him over. “If you don’t mind me asking, who is the Great One?” Kaldur asked curiously.

Frostbite gave him a puzzled look “Why Phantom of course! He sat beside you the entire time as you recovered, using his ice to keep the room cold so you would recover.” Frostbite explained

“I see and might I ask why you call him that?” Kaldur asked

“Hmmm, well we can check disorientation off the list. You are quite curious, but it is no bother. My people call Phantom “Great One” for many reasons.” He then gestures for Kaldur to follow him to a large closed window “One of the reasons is right here” he says as he opens the curtains. Kaldur flinches at the sudden light for a moment before looking out the window. Outside the sky is a soft green and surrounding the, what he assumes to be castle, it an entire bustling city with ghosts traveling too and fro. “You see this city, if you look far towards the edge you can see the city’s edge and a decent field after that until the land comes to an end” Frostbite pauses for a moment “Everything you see before you is a part of his Lair. Before the Great One came this land was a fraction of its current size.” Kaldur turned to look at Frostbite in surprise.

“How is that possible?” He asked

Frostbite gave an approving look and continued to check him over as he answered. “A ghost’s lair has two factors in its creation. First is intent, a lair is for comfort and protection, and so the terrain and atmosphere of the lair will align with the ghosts intent. For example, there is a hunter in the realms whose lair is a jungle terrain where he can hunt to his core’s delight. Understand so far?” With Kaldur’s nod he continues “Second is power, a ghost’s energy is what fuels a lair. If a ghost is not strong enough it will not always be able to create a lair that matches their intent, if they are able to create one at all. Normally in the case of lairs of this size the lair is fueled by the collective. Now while a lair is not a necessity, it makes the afterlife more comfortable for wandering spirit unable or unwilling to enter the final realm of their people.” He pauses in his explanation. “I’m going to remove the bandages now, if you feel any discomfort let me know” he slowly removes the bandages and the damp cloth underneath freeing his gils “Now take a deep breath for me.” Kaldur does so with a slight flinch. “Hmmm, they look to still be a bit tender, there’s some redness, but I’m not an expert in aquatic features. I will see if we can find any Atlanteans healers willing to come by, but they do so rarely leave their realm.” He says before wetting the cloth once more and binding it with the bandages once more. “There is one final aspect you must take into consideration, when you think of a lair. While the land you see before you is quite peaceful, yes? But the Infinite Realms is filled with much more than ghost and even then, not all ghosts are friendly. The more ghosts that are gathered, the more predators will come to hunt.” He gives a toothy smile “Not only does the Great One single handedly fuel this lair, he has the power to protect it.”

Kaldur looks at Frostbite in shock. “I had no idea, that’s incredible.” Frostbite gives an approving nod.

“I could speak all day about the Great Ones feats but I need to return to the Far Frozen, as well as seeing about getting you an Atlantean healer.” Just as Frostbite is about to leave Phantom renters the room with what appears to be icing on his face. “Ahh speak of the devil! The man of the hour, I see you ran into the Lunch Lady. We were just talking about you.”

“Don’t believe a word he says, he’s an incurable gossip and no matter what he says I only froze half that crowd.” He claimed with narrowed eyes.

Frostbite gave a bellowing laugh “Are you referring to the first time or the second? And as I recall it was an entire stadium of yetis rather than a simple crowd!” He revealed throwing a wink at Kaldur who grinned in return.

“Blasphemy” scolds Phantom with a grin “So how’s our patient?”

“He’s making a swift recovery, as I said before I’m a little worried about his gils and I will be sending for an Atlantean healer if that’s all right.” Phantom nods “Other than that I see no reason why he should remain cooped up in this room. In fact I think it would do both of you some good to go out and explore.”

Phantom lights up as he gives Kaldur an excited grin but just as soon as it came, the smile dropped with the sound of drums. Phantom sighs “Unfortunately it looks like duty calls. If you’d like I can show you the way to the library before I get back to the meeting. It’s on the way.”

“That sounds perfect. Thank you for your assistance Frostbite, I hope to see you again before I leave.” He said shaking the yetis hand.

Phantom holds the door for Kaldur and the two make their way towards the library. Kaldur turns to Phantom. “Frostbite was telling me a bit about your lair. I have to admit it’s quite impressive.” Kaldur smirks “Great One” Phantom lets out an exaggerated groan.

“He’s never letting that go, you beat up one asshole with a superiority complex and he never lets you live it down.”

“ I don’t know I think it has a nice ring to it, the Great Phantom.” Kaldur teases

Phantom gives him a considering look before replying “That sounds like a cheesy name for a magician, no thanks. I think I prefer Danny….”

“Danny?” Kaldur looked at Phantom, no, Danny curiously

“Yep that’s my name, don’t wear it out!” He said with a nervous chuckle. Kaldur stopped and looked at Danny as he continued down the hall, picking up the pace towards the library. He smiled to himself before catching up. Soon enough they arrived at two large doors. Danny stopped with hunched shoulders an rubbed his neck. “Whelp here we are, feel free to explore the castle or even go outside. Like Frostbite probably told you this whole island is my lair and you are my guest. Uhm I.. gotta go now, to the meeting, with one of the brothers, I’ll just.. go” Danny winced at how nervous he sounded.

“Thank you, I might just do that.” Kaldur said with a smile “and Danny? Good luck with your meeting.” And he turned an walked into the library. Danny stood the a few minutes more with a face so green it would make vegetables jealous.

He buried his face in his hands and quietly, just barely a whisper he sighed and said “Get it together Fenton, he‘a way out of your league and you know it.” He then turns around and hurriedly goes back the way he came in an attempt to make it to the meeting on time.

Pt.1/ the beginning is here

July 15. 2023

Yesterday you told me you were drunk.

I got excited about that.

When you get drunk you say nice things to me, so even though i was tired, i stood awake, waiting.

Yesterday you told me you missed me. I was so taken aback by that comment, that's how little of a thought in your head you make me feel, cause the thought of you missing me is so foreign.

I told you a "miss you too, quite a lot, actually", those were my exact words.

You said: "me top" "too*", " a lot"

We kept talking a little after that, i was waiting for more sweet words. They never came, the sleep got to me.

But i thanked you.

I thanked you for missing me, as if it was such a hard task missing me.

You didnt answered back

Funny how even after writing this, i still fantasize about a future together

I have consequietive thoughts about how in 6 months so much can change, i can fall in love with someone else, i can stop talking to you, i could change it all. But me, you are not allowed, you are not allowed to change, to fall for someone else or stop talking to me, no, you get to have me carved on your body forever.

You're welcome.

Trust yourself, you’re safe this way as well. You can be strong and vulnerable, too.
