Danny wakes up, strapped into a rollercoaster train car with a bunch of other civilians, in a dilapidated amusement park, with an insane clown laughing through the speakers.
He can see that the track is entirely broken, and that it will send them straight to the ground.
Danny knows he won't die.
Danny knows the civilians in the train car with him will.
So he slowly freezes the wheels until the car stops, a mere four feet from the edge, allowing the icy tendrils to snake down the support struts and reinforce them. His eyes are letting out a faint blue glow, his hands frosted over, and he isn't so much focusing on keeping the ice stable as he is focusing on getting it into the gears and ensuring that the train car can't be knocked off the track.
Now the civilians are feverishly whispering words of encouragement to him, to keep it up, while the local vigilante family fights the Joker.
Why, oh why, did he think that going on vacation in Gotham was a good idea?
Oh man, new Meta? Or was he passing through? Doesn't matter. They're gonna get out of here ALIVE. Almost NO ONE survives the Joker. When Batman asks, they didn't see shit. When the COPS ask, those rails froze on their own. They are gonna donate to Meta Rights Charities until they die. Straight up punch the next bigot they hear talking shit.
Holy shit, they're gonna live! Come on, kid. You can so this. Helps almost here! You got this.
The funniest part is Batman isn't even anti meta. One of the Bats is a meta. Batman trying to keep metas safe and advising against blatant power use just hit the rumor mill and spun out so,
Batman trying to talk to the meta kid to tell him he did a good job and maybe keep tabs for a bit so he doesn't get trafficked: I'd like to speak to the meta boy.
Every gothamite related to the incident: What meta boy?
Danny just clueless: Whats a meta?
Batman got sucked into a different dimension.
It was only for six or so hours until he was pulled home, but while he was there he was in a city called Amity Park.
There were so few heroes, barely any at all.
The biggest and heaviest hitter was just a teenager.
His partners? They were teens as well.
Bruce tried to steer clear-there really wasn't anything he could do. If he offered their help, if might confuse the local heroes into thinking that they had adults to rely on.
And as much as it hurt, no. No they did not.
Then, just below his hiding spot, Phantom get's cornered by the Fentons.
He's hurt, he's bleeding, and he starts to say something when he cuts himself off.
"Please, mo-"
And Bruce?
He can't just watch this happen.
He'd suspected Daniel Fenton was Phantom, in the short hours he'd been there already; that slip just confirmed it.
He interfered.
He saved a child from being murdered by his own mother.
Then, immediately after providing medical assistance, Bruce gets pulled back.
He tries to push it from his mind.
Is Daniel getting enough sleep? Enough food? Is he safe?
Until the Justice League has to summon the High King of the Infinite Realms, and lo and behold-Phantom stumbles into the circle.
Rvbtober day 9: revelation
Rvbtober day 8/10: Fall/Tucker
I’ve been having a hard time with digital art recently so I bought some colored paper and holo washi tape to help me feel inspired and go back to traditional for a bit

Actually? You know what would be darkly hilarious?
If, when the GIW can't get ghosts declared both malicious AND non-sapient/sentient? They push for "dumb animals" instead.
Which is accepted. Ghosts are animals. Checks out, says scientists everywhere.
HOW "dumb"?
What? Says the GIW, mid-victory high fives. They did not expect a follow up question. They SHOULD have, as this is the SCIENTIFIC community and that is literally their job, but here we are.
How. "Dumb"? The scientists repeate slower. What methodology did you use? What is your sample size? Are their different sub-species? Is this dimension like ours? Is Ghost the equivalent to Mammal? It says here their are humanoid ones.
What IQ are we talking about here and HOW DID YOU TEST??
A goldfish, parrot, and dolphin are all animals. WILDLY different levels of intelligence. You can't treat them the same. Technically speaking, WE are animals.
The GIW does not like where this conversation is going. Tries to shut it down.
.......well NOW the scientists are both offended AND invested. How DARE you try to push faulty science and hide the Truth from them! They're gonna do their OWN studies! *picks up the phone and dials that one embarrassing spiritualist friend they had in college* Hey! You still think you can summon ghosts? I'll pay you to try it for Science!
Oh absolutely all of this.
There are levels of ethical considerations for animal-based research. You can do just about anything you want to a fruit fly or a worm. But fish? You're getting into vertebrates, there. And mice need some definite reasoning to use them as test subjects.
And then you start getting into rabbits. Dogs. Monkeys.
All model organisms, of course, and used for scientific research, but if you want funding, you need to show that your experiments hold to certain ethical standards.
And the biologists especially would be all over categorizing ghosts. You mean there's entire ecosystems I can base my graduate work on? Brand new phylogenies and non-DNA based life forms?!
Not to mention that college students in general and grad students in particular are petty as heck and overworked and underappreciated and would relish a chance to actually open up a new field of study to the younger generations of scientists.
A chance to NEVER hear "well, ACTUALLY.." ever again? Or be corrected by that one teacher they HATED? Be THE leading expert in their field? *already packing bags* let them in! LET THEM IIIIIN! They don't CARE if it might be hostile to human life! So is Chicago! Beep beep! All aboard the research bus to The Zone!
I kind of want the Fenton Parents to have already learned and accepted Danny’s status as a halfa. They’ve already been studying ghost culture at this point for about a year. Studying the types of engineering leaps they’ve made separate from the living. Their biochemistry and medical advances.
Jacks spent a lot of time with Technus and Skulker. Maddie is having a blast with Frostbite. They have truly become masters in their field.
It’s Maddie that makes the suggestion to the GIW that they try to get the ghost categorized as animals. She predicted this, and she’s petty. She’s also loving having so many young interested minds to teach. The Fenton Parents had already gotten teaching degrees back in college, they were pioneering a new science! They expected to be teaching a lot sooner than they did. They push for Danny and his friends to do the same, double major in their preferred fields and teaching.
Now the Drs Fenton are leading the charge and rubbing it in the faces of all those people that mocked them. With every one of their new students right there with them, just a vicious about it. The new grant money for their research is nice too.
Danny comes on with two blob ghosts. One is extremely intelligent. Like, Alsatian smart. Is a good blob! Best blob! Other one? Very much a fish brain. Like those fish who eat plankton. No thought a head empty. Only food. Gets to show how appearance? Does not denote intelligence level. Yes more complex forms often means higher intelligence. But not always.
The researchers? Go wild. This field? Is the best. So good. So much to learn!!! And then they meet Clockwork.
Holy shit. Maddie WOULD pull that exact level of petty bullshit. She's been playing this game for DECADES. She would have KNOWN exactly how the Board would react.
And now she has INTERNS. Adorable, feral, little science babies! Hunting Blobs for SPORT to try and put tracking tags on them. Sitting, covered in foliage, franticly writing notes about the Ghost Deer.
Ripping their shirts off to reveal "I <3 Dinos" tattooed across their chest and Tarzan howling, as they plunge into the wilds to look for Ghost Dinosaurs to DISPROVE SOME FUCKIN THEORIES!!!
You know, as ya do.
Maddie ropes Danny and Ellie into this. Look, her baby and his science sister can catch them! So go! Go fetch! Now my interns! Watch the halfas here the rest!
Ellie somehow sneaks a ghost baby thylacine back with her.
They weren’t even in the area you would find a thylacine.
How did she even get that thing back without anyone noticing.
The interns all got caught.
Even George who shoved a Compy down his pants was caught.
How did Ellie do it?
She will never tell.
There are multiple reblog threads in this. But I must highlight @evilminji 's line: "They (the potential ghost science interns) don't care if it might be hostile to human life! So is Chicago!"
This sent me so hard I had to take time to recover before reblogging.

Happy spooky month everyone
this made me so happy 😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

has kimball not been through enough already tucker :/
its that orange bitch you love to hate
i always forget that felix's first name is isaac. what the fuck. that's so random to me where did he get the name felix from 😭bro made fun of locus for having an actually cool codename when felix literally picked his from a baby names book
Felix saying "I'm not doing this for the reward. I'm not doing this because of orders. I'm doing this for me," when it was about killing the Reds and Blues....
vs Locus saying the exact same thing back to him as he turns on Felix to help the Reds and Blues
Felix s13 and s14 "parallels"
just some headlines from the onion
ooo i hope he doesnt light his armor on fire hehehoho
