#what’s with me writing the justice league confronting danny about his secret identity

Speedster Danny?

I am here to gift another idea.

The portal incident did more than make Danny a halfa. It made him a speedster. Only Stipulation? He can only use the speed force as a human. Causing him to have two secret hero identities. Phantom and Green Spector (the name is a work in progress ideas are appreciated) Somehow someway the Flash and by extension the Justice league find out there is a new speedster.

Now when the Justice League go to Amity and start asking about Green Spector the whole town seems to think he is a ghost, like their other local hero Phantom. Despite never been seen together they have hinted at working with one another.

Anyway through some good old Detective work the figure out one of Danny’s identities.

Sorry this popped in my head:

—-

When they go to confront Danny about it,

Clark “We know your secret Identity. ”

Danny: “Which one?”

Clark: “What?”

Danny: “…What?”

Clark: …”how many Secret identities do you have?”

Danny: “Wouldn’t you like to know weather boy.”

——

ANYWAY! It would be a lot of fun to play with his human side being a hero too. He can go places and do things that he can’t always do as a ghost. The people of amity may think he’s a ghost but that’s only because he doesn’t stay long enough to show he is human. (Also his lighting color being that neon green color)

So much you can do with Vlad, The GIW, Dani, and Val. Like imagine Val knows Danny is Green Spector and wants his help to take down Phantom. Vlad not know Danny is GS. Dani unlocking the speed force. The GIW Collectively losing their minds trying to figure out WHAT GS is. He sets off ghost sensors and is hurt by ghost weapons but he is NOT a ghost.

Thief Danny

This was an idea I got a few weeks back. Some lovely’s on the discord server helped with the idea for this! The reasoning in particular was a big help! That was done by, @fairyarmour If it’s in italics it’s their idea! Then Anything in bold was done by @midas-lost-it . Bold and Italic was done by @proshipper-on-ship Go show them some love! ❤️ They had some great ideas that added to mine.

——-

Danny was far too young and inexperienced to become the Ghost King. Clockwork sent Danny to a different universe for “training” and basically had him build a reputation as a thief.

The reason for Danny becoming a thief is that as a leader, he'll have to make decisions and take actions that make people upset with him. Decisions that he can feel are wholeheartedly for the best but others disagree. Decisions that his advisor(s) steer him towards because there is no right choice, just a least damaging one. And he'll at times have to then work with the people that don't agree with his methods further down the line. So sometimes , best way to learn to (re)build bridges with people that saw you as a monster up until the Crucial Moment is to be in those moments.

Danny doesn’t know why he has to become a thief but he is sure as hell done with it. His first few weeks in this new world Clockwork tells him what to steal and when he needs to steal it. His first hit? A bunch of glowing rocks from some guy named Lex? Slowly, Danny start’s picking his own targets, with the occasional input from CW.

He becomes one of the only people who can steal within Metropolis when superman is around. (He can not hear Danny’s heart or him breaking in or anything) Lex Is losing his mind trying To figure out who phantom is and how they stole from him.

Cat Women is very Intrigued by the new player but they have yet to try their hand at Gotham, so is content to hear stories about them.

Batman wants to set up a trap. Only there’s a couple of issues with this. One, Phantom being the only one who can steal within Metropolis makes them High demand, issue is no one knows how to contact them at all. Secondly, they doesn’t sell anything they steals either it vanishes, is returned to where it was, or it just shows up in a random place. Almost like it’s Practice or something. Thirdly What they steal has no pattern sometimes it’s old ancient things, sometimes it’s paintings sometimes it’s jewelry ect.

The league set up a trap anyway knowing it might not work. Whoever Phantom is they can out Maneuver Superman and has Lex’s supply of kryptonite. They is a threat. They set up a fake magical artifact for phantom to steal.

The thing is it wouldn’t have worked but Clockwork told him he had to go steal that item.

Danny didn’t know about the trap but knowing Clockwork he really should have been on the look out for one. So not only did he to have to fight the big League heroes of this world he had to do it well trying to keep hold of the artifact. The league is worried, Phantom is a literal child! They weren’t expecting to fight a child.

Danny is more than annoyed at Clockwork. The skills he’s building is important if he is to be the next ghost king, But did he seriously need to be a thief? He has been branded as a full blown villain!

Well his title as a villain may be put into question after an incident leads to him saving the JLA (Or titans or young justice or some Batfam members or whatever you wanna go with)

Eventually they are able to set up enough traps/meeting between them and Phantom that a kinda truce is set up. The league is trying to coax him out of the villain life. Which Danny can appreciate but that’s not why he is here.

Slowly over time hints are dropped that Danny has a mentor making him do this. The league is losing their mind looking for some guy who calls himself “CW”. From what little Danny has said it’s not looking good. He is super Paranoid always talking about how CW is watching and knows everything. They think Danny is scared of him, when Danny is just annoyed at him.

Ex:

—-

Danny: "I don't even want this stuff, y'know? But I gotta do it, or else.." Clockwork won't stop bothering "whatever."

—-

Danny mumbles mentions something about screwy masters of time messing with him and holding his family's lives over his head and only about half of it was heard so they think Clock Dad is threatening Danny's family but really Clockwork is all like “*remember that time I saved all their lives? Yeah now go do the thing*”

____

Bruce: “So why are you doing this?”

Danny: “Something, Something about lessons.”

You get the idea. That’s pretty much all I got. This is a lot of fun. Sorry if it was hard to follow! I tried to make it coherent.
