Ghost Helpline Part 1
Constantine wasn’t upset no no of course not … he was fucking pissed!!!
How on earth was this his life now??? He grabbed as many totems and charms as he could. They were going to need as much luck as they could get their hands on.
-
“Bloody fucking Hell this is by far the worst idea I have ever heard and I want absolutely no part of it!!!”
“John”
“Don’t you John me Z! This is obviously a bad idea!!!”
WonderWoman sighed, “We understand the risks but we are out of options.”
“Pppfff as if we wanted you here in the first place pal”
“Hal!”
“What it’s true if this spell? Summoning? Offering? What ever the hell it’s called didn’t require two magicians we would have just let Zatanna do it!”
“Stop it everyone we cannot be fighting amongst ourselves right now! We have to be ready for anything that happens and whoever decides to help us.” Superman crossed his arms. “Uh question, I get the whole dabbling in magical creatures equal bad but uhhh who or what are we doing exactly?” Wally said offhandedly to Robin(Dick)
“That’s just the thing … we don’t know this Circle is essentially an open invitation to anyone who can help us,” Zatanna sighed “Which means we have to be ready for the worst including whatever it is this creature may want in exchange.” “Oh yeah,” John huffed “Our first born, blood of a virgin, Superman’s soul totally nothing we need to worry about or take to mean We. should. Not. Do. this! !”
Batman ‘cleverly’ choose that moment to walk in, “Alright then start it up.”
Magic is always hard to describe; the colors, and motion like something out a fantasy but this ? This was inexplicable as the candles rose to the ceiling, smoke filled their eyes and the sound of, well -some kind- of animal shook their ears. Then as fast as it came it was gone, as they adjusted to the scene they saw who now occupied the middle of the circle.
Horns
“Bollocks it just had to be a devil.”
Black hair sloppily put into twin buns, held together by … twine???
Superman’s eyebrows creased in slight confusion.
Tan skin painted black in the pattern of an old broken glass on their arms.
Flash stilled next to his nephew.
A scar from a blade ran across one half of their face.
WonderWoman lowered her lasso.
Gold eyes.
Zatanna felt uncomfortable.
There in the circle stood what they would all guess to be a 12 maybe 14 year old???
Batman’s stomach suddenly felt uncomfortable.
“What the ….-“
“Hello Mortals! You have reached the Infinite Realms HelpLine! You may call me Konstelacio! How may I be of assistance?”

Dc x dp idea 84
Jack and Maddie are legit crazy mad scientist.
They moved to amity before jazz was born. Prior to the justice league. Those who didn’t comply when the moved were swiftly taken care of.
All outside new sources come from them amity has only seen what the fentons want.
The Giw were hired by the Fentons. Both are bad. But who would the town rather deal with the shoot first supposed government. Or the wacky Fenton parents.
And how many parents can exactly actively stake out a school. How many times had they been inside the school during the school day.
That is until mr lancer comes into play. Somehow he managed to slip by and entered the town this year. Earning a position of vice principal right under their noses.
He actively promotes Danny doing better. Actually forcing him to do his work and learn.
He takes notes of Danny’s declining health. Falling asleep in class, the bruises and reports the fentons. Only for nothing to happen.
Lancer then takes notes of the eccentric actions of the fentons. The screaming of tearing the ghosts apart. He knows about the truth of the outside world. He knows this would go against the meta human protection acts. So he makes a mental note to contact the proper services of the need arises.
After the events of the town being yoinked into the infinite realms. He finally acts. Sending out an email and call to the justice league hotline. Unbeknownst to him both being stopped by the Fenton parents.
Obviously they plan to deal with him when the time is right.
The only reason he stays is because no other adult seems to care about the kids. He was the only one who event attempted to check in on them during the ghost flu.
He can’t stand by any longer when he sees the two Fenton parents hunting phantom. See them getting skilled shots in. Actively forcing phantom into Danny. But they don’t stop. Still shooting at Danny.
Mr. Lancer watches as Jazz, Sam and Tucker manage to get them away. He ushers them to his car the five hardly manages to make it out. Danny seriously injured.
It’s only then does the phone connect to the justice league helpline.

Let Gotham Be Terrifying
I've seen many different takes and versions of Gotham, but I would love to play into the fact that Gotham is the second most crime-ridden city in America. That's right- Gotham, for all its horrible cruelty, still does not compare to Blüdhaven. But that doesn't make it any less terrifying, especially to newcomers.
I know a lot of people say that Amity Parkers would be desensitized to the Rogue attacks, because of the ghosts that constantly haunt the streets. But I think they would actually be more horrified of Gotham because of the ghosts.
Because here's the thing about Danny's Rogues Gallery. For all intents and purposes, they don't actually want to hurt people. The ghosts might not be harmless, but neither are they expressly malicious.
The Box Ghost? Give him some of your leftover cardboard from when you were moving apartments, he'll appreciate them and leave you alone for a while as a thank you. If you catch him at the right time, he might even be willing to lend a helping hand. With the promise of the boxes afterwards, he doesn't do work for free after all.
Lunch Lady? You'll see her at the soup kitchens or the food banks lending a helping hand; sometimes she even gets invited to the soccer games to act as hostess and she makes the best main dishes. And her dessert? People have made remarks that they're to die for, which is more than a little insensitive but hey, still true.
Ember McLain? Phantom's made a deal with her: so long as she keeps her mind control out of her music, she can play however much she wants. They hold weekly concerts in the park, you just gotta make sure everyone scatters by the time the Fentons arrive, and don't say shit to the GIW when they come around asking, and everyone comes out of this happy.
Kitty and Johnny? Sure, their arguments always cause a ruckus, and it can be more than a little awkward to watch a couple scream at each other in public. But if you're willing to lend a kind ear to Kitty when she's upset, she's far less likely to lash out and hurt people as a result. As for Johnny, let him do a couple laps around town and he'll get his head on straight. If the Red Huntress doesn't do it for him, of course. And when they're on good terms, you'll sometimes see them walking about town, holding hands and just having fun. Sometimes they'll buy some ice cream or other treats from stores. No one really knows where they got the money, but it's legit and no one feels the need to turn them away, if they're respectful about private property.
Youngblood? He's a bit brash and immature, but sometimes you'll catch him hanging out with Phantom playing astronauts. Sometimes you'll even see him hanging out with that girl Phantom playing cowboys. He likes to play at the parks and playgrounds with the other kids his age. And yeah, sometimes he hogs the toys a little too long, but he's the best storyteller the kids on the yard have ever seen. He's a great playmate once you get the hang of it.
As for Skulker... eh, he and Phantom have their fights but honestly, it's the collateral damage that causes more problems than the ghosts themselves. The morning commute should not take this long.
Spectra got ran out of town forever ago and at this point, people can recognize her on sight. If your mental health has taken a startling downturn, contact one of the helplines and if worse comes to worst, reach out to Phantom to make sure she's not sticking her nose where no one wants her.
Desiree- watch your mouth and stop saying the word 'wish' and you're set for life. She can be petty sometimes, but again, that's why you watch your mouth.
For 7 out of the 9 cases here, the ghosts don't actually mean much harm. Other, more powerful ghosts like Vortex or Nocturn don't come around often. They might think Phantom is a little bitch, but they respect his territory. They would do the same if they were in his place. Predator acknowledging predator, as I like to say.
But that's the distinct difference. The ghosts can be bargained with, reasoned with. If you give them some other outlet, more often than not they're willing to take it and don't bother anyone first.
The Gotham Rogues on the other hand? There is no indulging the Joker or Black Mask or Scarecrow. In some cases, even when Mr. Freeze's wife is cured or he's finally let her go, he still keeps to his life of crime. What about Harvey Dent? Zsasz? Manbat? A lot of these Rogues cannot be reasoned with.
And this isn't even including the drug dealers and the muggers and the traffickers. This isn't even including the corrupt police and the even more corrupt local government. This isn't even including the likes of the Court of Owls and the rich and elite that run the show. This isn't even including the League of Assassins, who've always had a vested interest in the city.
And isn't that sad? Doesn't that say something when the living are crueler than the dead?
So give me a Danny or a Jazz or a Tucker or a Sam- any Amity Park citizen you want- that is disturbed by the thoughtless destruction and murders. Give me a Jazz that takes one look at the Arkham Asylum patients and is unnerved by their incapability to change. Give me a Danny that visits Gotham one time to lend a hand, and by the end of it, he turns to Batman and he says, "I don't know how you do it."
Because this is a family of vigilantes, who all besides one, do not have powers. They have to cover a city filled with millions of people, watch over them every night, and try to stop any possible terrible atrocities. Because even if every single member of Batman's Rogues Gallery suddenly dropped dead, Gotham has far deeper issues than just them. That is why Batman's crusade is endless. That's why it's not as simple as flicking a switch.
Gotham is terrifying. And what does it say when the Batman can put the fear of god into a city like that?
Batman is terrifying, and I think sometimes that can be a reminder to us all.

dpxdc drossover not phantom planet complient, Jason attacks titans tower AU , good fenton parents - link to AO3 if you'ld rather read there https://archiveofourown.org/works/53359585
------------------------------------------------------------------
Danny was flying over the bay in Jump city. The Fentons were on a road trip - Jazz was in the process of picking what college she wanted to attend, and since Phantom was no longer a secret from his parents, and he had passed his portal making test from Wulf, rather than have to fly, or drive around the country, he was making portals and visiting each college.
The downside of this was that the portals were a little wibbly wobbly with time. Hey - he only just passed the test - So sometimes the portals would drop them off in a location a few days before the open day (Fortunately for Jazz’s remaining sanity, he hadn’t yet arrived too late for an open day, but with four left to go there was still a chance). 
Since mom and dad now knew about Phantom, They were taking the opportunity to drag the whole family around the country, to every college Jazz was looking at (and with neither time or travel being a concern, she was looking at A LOT), and having a few days around the town afterwards, seeing the local sights as well. So they were in Jump City for a few days before Jazz went to see UC Berkeley: and Danny couldn’t sleep.
Or at least that's what he told mum after persuading her he would be fine to go for a quick invisible flight before bed. 
Invisible of course, because Jump city was home to the teen titans - a local group of teenage superheroes - and the last thing he needed was to be noticed by them. Not that he had anything against superheroes - technically he was one - but Amity had been under media blackout since before the titans were formed. It was only after Tucker had managed to crack the media blackout - and get a quick message out to the justice league helpline about the GIW and the Anti-Ecto- Acts, that Danny had even realised there were other teen heroes. 
That had been a very hectic few weeks. The GIW were quickly disbanded, and it turned out the AEA which Danny had been so afraid of, were a load of bull! They never existed! As the Justice League explained, with the Meta Protection Acts so much in the public view, there was no way any Acts that labelled those with unusual powers as not sentient - was ever going to pass. It was just a lie the GIW put about to prevent Amity Parkers from asking for help. 
The Justice League had also told mom and dad they had to permanently close the portal, or at least have much, much more security to prevent ghosts coming and going as much. They eventually agreed to this, with a lot of grumbling, and it was one of the reasons that Danny needed to learn to make portals so quickly. Mom and dad told the justice league that, as Amity Park had so many natural portals anyway - that opened up from time to time - they would need to open it occasionally to send the ‘visitors’ who came through the portal back home. But the justice league argued that should be the only reason to open the portal.
Dad kept arguing that how were they supposed to research ghosts (no longer for ripping them apart molecule by molecule - as learning about their son being Phantom had changed their ideas massively) - and how they interact with each other and the world - with the portal only open for emergencies. Until Mom sidled up beside him and whispered that “Danny can still open portals if needed dear” which shut dad up so quickly that the justice league member - John somebody - looked at him suspiciously - and then went outside for another smoke. Eventually it was settled, with mom volunteering to supply the justice league with some anti-ecto technology - particularly specter deflectors, because no-one wants an overshadowed superman. 
Anyway, after all the portals and GIW were sorted, the Justice league made some noise about this Phantom ghost - and they needed to meet him and assess what to do. The public of Amity Park were (as always) mixed in reviews, but Valarie, who had already met up with the League when they arrived, as Red Huntress, said very publicly that “As the local hero of Amity, I will make sure he doesn’t bother the public”. Then, more quietly, to the league “... besides Phantom really only stops the other ghosts from causing trouble, and with the portal shut there should be less of that.” And finally, lying through her teeth, “If there’s any trouble, I'll call you guys in”. 
The Constantine guy hung around for a few more days, but since there was no sign of Phantom, and the only ghost that came through a natural portal, was an animal ghost, that was easily souped by Red Huntress. Constantine watched as it was yeeted back into the Ghost Zone - and eventually left with only mild complaining. 
Now Danny, why did Phantom not appear? Well, since the beginning  of Phantom appearing, he really was only a hero to stop people getting hurt. He didn't want to be a hero. He just wanted to stop the ghosts coming through the portal. Since Val was there to deal with the Justice league, and they were now getting on fairly well because of Dani, she could be the ‘Hero of Amity Park’ and she had his number to give him a shout if needed. That way he could actually get his grade up high enough to have a chance of attending a decent college to be an astronaut. 
So with that all sorted, and ghosts now more of an occasional thing than a day to day problem, he was able to leave Amity Park and actually go on holiday! Besides, if he got bored and wanted a fight, he could now portal to the GZ, grab a frenemy- and duke it out without any collateral damage. Frostbite and Clockwork had both said, one much more plainly than the other, that ghosts - particularly young ghosts like Danny, Dani, and even Vlad - who was young by ghost standards, would start to go a bit mad without regular enrichment. Apparently enrichment for ghosts was beating the stuffing out of each other. 
This did explain why Vlad was so much of a fruitloop - being confined to a bed for many years, and then not having anyone he could brawl with - left him badly lopsided. It turned out that regularly punching him in the face was good for the both of them. Left him less mad, and was very, very cathartic for Danny. Vlad these days was still a fruitloop, but tended to leave humans out of it, and just kidnap Danny for various jigsaw-ish traps - with given that Danny could use his powers, was more like a fun escape room than anything more dangerous. 
So, back to the evening flight in Jump City. Danny had carefully talked around Titans tower. He said he would make sure that the heroes wouldn’t see him - well he was invisible, so they wouldn’t. But he did want to see how the other side live, as it were. He wanted to see what these teen heroes were doing. If they were getting support from adult heroes, as Danny had desperately needed when he started, and now, thankfully had - but only after going through a ton of stuff alone. Well, not alone, but certainly without adult help. 
But mainly to see what the inside of the tower looked like. And maybe take some pictures for Sam and Tucker - to prove he’d been there. 
As Danny approached the tower, he didn't see anyone through the window in what he assumed was the common area, the lights were dim, it looked like the heroes were all in bed. Bit early for teens to be in bed, but maybe they had a big fight today, not like he follows the news or anything. Danny double checked he had a tight grip on his invisibility, and phased through the window. 
He flew around the common room, poked his head into the kitchen, and started drifting down the corridor. He didn't really care for the common area, though it was quite big, and he took a snap to show Sam and Tucker, but what he was really looking for was a control room type thing. A briefing room? A round table? He wasn't quite sure, something Hero-y. He drifted down the hall, and stopped. 
What was with that door? 
It was an automatic sliding door, but it was stuck - open. It can't have detected him - he was still intangible. There was no movement to detect, the air was going through him. Like there was an electrical fault? Huh - broken door  - fair enough, rough housing superheroes could defo break a door. Probably hadn't been fixed yet. He drifted through.
This level looked like bedrooms, probably some degree of privacy violation to peek, and he’s already entered without permission. Best leave that alone just in case, don't want to get an eyeful of something. Snooping in communal areas is fine. Like technically trespassing, but no-one really cares - looking in the bedroom is a lot weirder. 
He phased down a couple of floors - Sick, training room. Taking photos for Tucker, man this place would make Dash weep with envy. Pretty much every fitness machine Danny had heard of, then like a dozen more. Big flat area in the middle for sparring? Probably. Most people can't just spar mid air afterall. 
Danny jumped so much he went up to the floor above - that was a shout. Had someone seen him? No, his invisibility was still on. Now that he had noticed it, he could still hear the shouts, a few floors below - someone was having an argument. Best avoid that then. 
Next was a sound of pain, unmistakable that was the sound someone made after being punched. Surely if it was a spar, that would stop now right? Except, Danny was on the gym floor. With the sparring area. And there was no-one there. 
Danny drifted slightly closer to the sounds of what was now quite obviously a fight. Down a few levels, and his ghost sense went off. But then didn't. Like it started then changed its mind. Danny flew down to the fight entirely now - how on earth was a ghost in Jump City! He didn't even have a thermos on him, it was back in the hotel room. He was going to have to make a portal and yeet the ghost through! There was no way the heroes wouldn't notice a portal appearing in titans tower! This was going to completely blow his cover. Damn it!
Some Guy was wailing on some other guy. What? Danny doesn't know who these people are, for all he knows these guys both could be villains that broke in and then got in a disagreement. But the larger guy was setting off his ghost sense, and had glowing green eyes. And the smaller guy was definitely still a teen, so by process of elimination was probably one of the teen titans. Without thinking Danny lifted the phone he was holding and took a photo - the flash on the camera started the two into stopping for a moment. 
Danny dropped his visibility and swooped in. 
“And, time out. Ring ring ring, back to your corner meathead, he’s already down” He pulled the bigger guy away and pushed him back a few feet. 
 He got snarled at for his trouble - green glowing eyes, and angry to the point of non verbal. Overshadowed human maybe? Well, time for a real estate battle then. Danny phased into the big guy - he was an expert at kicking other ghosts out by now. 
Except he couldn’t - because there was no ghost to kick out. The anger was all coming from the human - so a human full of ecto, and really cross about it, and trying to deal with it the way ghosts do - with a big fight. Except he’s fighting humans, who are nowhere near as durable as ghosts, so he’s just beating up a kid. 
Ok - Danny is going to have to take over. He leans part way out of the guys, who roars again, and high fives the teen who just stood up. 
“Tag, I'm in. I'll bring him back when he’s no longer incoherent with rage. Bye for now”
Danny then flew with the guy out through the side of the building to find a nice empty bit of land for a fight. He’d be back to the hotel late tonight, he hoped mom wasn't waiting up.
—---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tim looked at the empty wall that Hood had just been kidnapped through. 
“Did he just take a photo? That's My thing!”

Never Does.
You own a bar, that five regulars spend their time in. Turns out that seeing them that frequent allows feelings to be born. The bar being a hot spot on the weekends brings along its own trouble. Characters – Reader, Price, Ghost, Soap, Gaz. Word Count – 1.8k Warnings – physical and verbal abuse. If you need help in any situation, I have linked a website with helplines.
You groaned when the argument got louder, looking up you watched the two men step closer and the sacred woman take a step back. You also noticed the group of men at the bar straighten, you quickly got off your seat and crossed the room, not wanting them to join in. ‘Excuse me.’ You called, nobody reacted. ‘Excuse me.’ You called again, this time louder. ‘What bitch?’ He snapped as he turned to you, you straightened. ‘I was gonna ask you to quieten down but you can leave.’ You told him, you crossed your arms over your chest. ‘What?’ He asked. ‘Leave.’ You said. ‘I’m not leaving cause you’ve got a god complex.’ He said, you scoffed and shook your head. ‘Furthest thing from a god complex mate, now leave.’ You told him and jutted your chin towards the door. ‘I don’t want to.’ He said, you sighed and raised your hand. He tried to swat it away, but with the drinks in his system he missed and tumbled. You grabbed the back of his shirt and redirected him towards the door. ‘Get your hands off me.’ He shouted, he twisted back to you but you stepped back to avoid his swing. Two of the people in the bar had opened the door, knowing what was coming due to being regulars. You grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back, he yelped at the pain. You ignored it and his whimpers as you guided him to the open door. You let go of his arm with a push, he stumbled out, he steadied himself and glared at you before his attention snapped to who you presumed was his girlfriend. ‘Come on.’ He demanded her, you looked at the woman. ‘She’s more than welcome to stay.’ You said, making eye contact with her. ‘Now.’ He commanded, she looked conflicted on what to do. ‘Do you want to stay or go with him?’ You asked her, you held eye contact with her. ‘Stay.’ She answered, you nodded. ‘Asshole.’ Her boyfriend swore. ‘Okay, that’s you banned.’ You said, arms crossed over your chest. ‘You can’t do that.’ He stated, you arched an eyebrow. ‘No?’ You asked, he nodded and placed his hands on his hips. ‘Shame that I own the bar so it’s up to me, come closer or swear again and I will call the police.’ You threatened him, he stared at you and huffed before he walked away.
‘Y/N.’ You introduced yourself to her, she cautiously set her purse on the bar counter. ‘Maisie.’ She replied. ‘Pleasure to meet you.’ You said with a smile, you quickly filled a glass up with water. ‘Here.’ You slid the glass over to her, she caught it. ‘I -,’ she stuttered. ‘It’s on the house.’ You told her. ‘What about mine sweetheart?’ The voice asked, you rolled your eyes and turned to one of the large men. ‘Johnny, you coulda jumped in at any minute.’ You said without looking up, Maisie watched as the mans smile spread across his lips. ‘Didn’t want to ruin your thunder.’ He commented, you arched an eyebrow and turned to him. ‘Yeah yeah.’ You dismissed him with a wave. ‘You got a ride home?’ You turned back to Maisie, she shook her head. ‘No.’ She replied. ‘You share it with him?’ You asked, you served a customer that walked up without talking to him. ‘Yeah.’ She said. ‘You got enough for a hotel? I don’t want to chance him taking his anger out on you.’ You said, she shook her head and played with the coaster. ‘I’m used to it.’ She said, you felt the anger bubble inside you, you glanced at the men who were listening. ‘I can help you.’ You offered her, she quickly shook her head. ‘I don’t need it.’ She said, your brows pinched together as you placed your hands on the counter and turned to her. ‘You shouldn’t be putting up with a guy that bullies and hits you, plus one that isn’t confident enough in your relationship.’ You told her, she lowered her head and you knew she wasn’t going to go against him. ‘The boys can give you a ride if you want?’ You suggested, she looked at them and her eyes widened. ‘Don’t be afraid by them.’ You quickly said, here wide eyes snapped to you. ‘Big guy with the mask?’ You whispered, loud enough that they could hear you, she nodded, ‘screams like a banshee when a spider dropped on him.’ You informed her, the corner of her lips twitched. ‘Soap here, well he’s a big teddy bear. Gives the best hugs.’ You told her, Soap smiled widely and raised his glass. ‘Gaz and Price are…’ You trailed off. ‘See we’re the best.’ Gaz said, he nudged Soaps shoulder with a smile. ‘Gaz cried at Toy Story.’ Ghost stated, everyone looked at him before they burst out laughing. Gaz dipped his head, almost is shame. ‘Price, well, he adopted all the three of them so he must be insane or have a big heart.’ You told her, she looked at the four men before she turned back to you. ‘And you?’ She quizzed, you tilted your head to the side. ‘I let them come into my bar, work with them and agreed to marry one.’ You explained, she arched an eyebrow. ‘It’s Price, you’re married to him.’ She said, you nodded. ‘I am,’ you replied, you gave her a smile, ‘you’ve got a good eye on you as well.’ ‘He hasn’t looked away from you since you came back around.’ Maisie pointed out, you chuckled and nodded as you looked at Price, the apples cheeks above his beard turned red. ‘Never does.’ You told her, Price stayed quiet and drank his whiskey. ‘If you don’t want to go back you can crash upstairs for the night, the boys can visit him in the morning and give him some words of encouragement?’ You turned back to her as you suggested an option. ‘Oh no.’ She dismissed it. ‘Think about it.’ You gave her a smile as you walked down the bar and served a customer, Gaz and Soap gave her a comforting smile.
‘Y/N?’ A quiet voice asked, you lifted your head and froze, Maisie was stood in front of you, a large black bruise circled her eye. ‘Fuck,’ you lifted the hatch and motioned for her to come in, ‘What did he do?’ You asked, quickly you scoped ice into a clean tea towel, you rolled it up before you handed it to her. ‘Nothing.’ She said, she winced when the cold touched the eye. ‘Maisie, I know it’s hard but please don’t protect him.’ You said, you could see a fading bruise, covered in makeup, that was on her jaw and you knew she got it the morning she went home ‘He’s a good guy.’ She told you, you titled your head. ‘He isn’t a good guy if he hits you.’ You said, her shoulders slumped before she started to cry, the tears fell freely. ‘I want to break up with him, but I moved in with him.’ She explained, you softly rested a hand on her shoulder. ‘Any friends or family?’ You asked. ‘Not in the city.’ She informed you, you pursed your lips before you clicked your tongue. ‘I don’t want to push you but the flat above is empty and mine, I can let you stay there.’ You told her, she sniffed and looked at you. ‘I don’t have a job, I couldn’t pay for it.’ She said, you waved your hand dismissing her worries. ‘Always need help around here, the patrons can cause a mess. Plus my main job causes me to leave for months some times.’ You told her, her brows furrowed as she thought about it. ‘I-,’ ‘Not forcing you,’ you held your hands out, ‘just giving you options, always good to have options.’ You said, she rubbed her lips together and you stepped back from her.
‘Maisie.’ His voice called out as the door shut behind him, ‘Look baby I’m sorry.’ He stepped closer, you looked at Maisie as she tensed up, you slid between him and the bar, blocking his view of her. ‘No.’ You told him. ‘No?’ He questioned and looked down to you. ‘I banned your remember for swearing and abusing a customer.’ You told him, his brows furrowed. ‘She’s my girl, I can do what I want to her.’ He said, you clenched your jaw and tried to take a deep breath. ‘Y/N?’ Ghost called, you shook your head to answer his silent question. ‘Come on sweet cheeks, move so I can talk to my girl.’ He said, his hand touched your arm in order to move you. You snapped, you grabbed a hold of the arm that he had stretched out, before you twisted him, his face landed on the counter. Everyone in the bar turned to watch the commotion. He grunted as you pulled his arm further around his back. ‘I want you to listen to me.’ You stepped closer, so he could see you through his eye that wasn’t forced into the counter. ‘Maisie is my employee, you have a problem with her you wait until she’s off work, but since she’s also my tenant, your not allowed in this building, since I banned you two weeks ago.’ You reminded him, he tried to free himself but you pushed harder. ‘Do you understand?’ You asked, he grunted out a yes. You glanced to Maisie who had a mixture of happiness and fear appear on her face, she had moved to stand near Price and Laswell who had appeared just over twenty minutes ago. You let go of his arm and he pushed up, he glared at you as he fixed his top. ‘Bitch, I’m gonna call the police.’ He threatened. ‘Go ahead,’ you encouraged him, ‘I’ll be waiting for them.’ You said, he glared and stepped forward but everyone moved in the bar, suddenly he felt very small as they all watched him. ‘You got some cult here?’ He growled, you arched an eyebrow. ‘No sir, just an army bar.’ You informed him, his eyes widened, ‘and when a Captain is getting threatened, the team takes it seriously.’ You held eye contact with him, satisfied when his throated bobbed. ‘Maisie, myself and my team will be around to get her stuff in two days.’ You told him, he glanced back to Maisie before his eyes snapped back to you, ‘I suggest you aren’t there.’  ‘Whatever bitch.’ He grumbled, you sent him a wink as he walked away. ‘Thank you.’ She said, you shook your head. ‘No need, just helping.’ ‘Is the job and place still available?’ Maisie asked, you smiled widely and nodded. ‘Always.’ You replied, she nodded and you saw a smile appear.

A Memorial for Inquisitore3 (Inquisitor)
TW // Suicide
Hi everyone. If you're active in the CoD community at all, more specifically the CoD cosplay community on TikTok, you'll probably know of or at least have heard of Inquisitore3 (Inquisitor). He was a very popular and very much loved Ghost cosplayer who took his own life a few days ago after harassment from a large portion of the CoD community. Inquisitor was known not only for his love of Star Wars but the positive and uplifting content he posted almost daily. The events of this past week have rocked the entire community. As a way to remember him, I made a google doc where you can leave a message for/about Inquisitor. These messages will be compiled and put on a memorial wall Carrd + Tumblr blog so that they can be read by anybody that enjoyed his content. In addition, I'll provide the link to the petition to get Inquisitor his own MW2 skin. Please, if you are struggling, remember that it is okay to reach out. Nobody should have to suffer alone. You are loved and cared for, and it will get better. Rest in peace, Inquisitor. You will be missed dearly.

the ghosts of the past were the only thing that truly scared the ghost, the man who if someone'd seen him walking towards them from across the street at night, they would've started calling the first helpline number available and saying their prayers, even if they weren't believers .
in truth, ghost wasn't a troubled man, he barely was what was left of one, simon.
ghost wasn't a troubled man, but he was all that was left of one. every time the thick balaclava slipped on simons face, he'd turn off the few emotions that were still left in his body, mind running on autopilot as he coldly shut off his scarred heart. simon needed that, both a relief and a way to turn everything off, he needed to know it wasnt him killing people. it made his heart rest better to know it was ghost, not simon.
simon, who'd gone through hell and back, watching his friends, honourable soldiers, fall by the hand of a simple yet fatal mistake.
simon, whose family was slaughtered and he felt so helpless and unworthy, because why join the military and train to fight when he couldn't even protect his three years old nephew?
feeling so low he could barely keep his brown eyes open, he didn't think he was a man who deserved to live. why, when nobody was there to live with him? sure, johnny and kyle could try to cheer him up and distract him as much as they wanted, but they couldn't follow simon to his flat by the railways, in front of the man united stadium. price regularly called him: every other day to check up on him, ask him if he fancied a pint. simon rarely said yes, but he was grateful price didn't forget about him the moment they left base, it made him feel like he was, after all, someone. more than once even kyle booked a cheap hotel room near simon's place so he could spend time with him. forcing him to go outside and meet up with him and price. sometimes even johnny could make it, hopping on the first train from glasgow to see his lieutenant.
simon studied the pub. ironically, kyle always decided to drag him to the pub where simon spent his late teens with his mates from the time. that was, of course, before simon turned eighteen, and without speaking a word to anyone, left to join the military a week after his birthday. when he'd first come back, almost a year later, all his friends had either moved out of manchester or thought he'd moved out too, cutting off contacts. it was a shock for the few ones left to see his dog tags underneath his shirt when he first showed up again.
it was meaningless.
he was meaningless. flesh on bone, a heart pumping his veins full of life without him being able to stop it.
simons complete view of life was of suffocating suffering, a meaningless amount of time he had to spend on this earth for what he used to believe was for a greater good. there was not such a thing, simon was sure of it now, a bottle of beer in his left hand as his right one brought his cigarette to his chapped, pale lips. he looked down the river irwin, the city noise muffled out by the quiet and calm chatter of people walking past him. he felt almost envious. they had someone to talk to.
but he'd never been the loquacious type either, tommy always did the talking, simon usually dragging both of their arses out of the messes tommy brought them in. that's how it worked, their dynamic. his brother talked, too much sometimes, even for him, and he made sure nothing happened, as easy as that. simon was the one who stepped in when things got bad, in any situation: outside of the pub with a drunk man that tommy'd pissed off with his witty remarks, older boys at school when they were children, or at home, with their father. needless to say, simon got the most of the beatings, scars adorning the skin of his back even before stepping on the field. the cigarette burns on his arms and legs itched every time he'd think too much about it.
ever since finding his brothers corpse on the stairs of his own home, front door unlocked, his wife and son dead on the master bedroom's bed, he'd been craving what it felt like to love someone again. he craved loving someone, craved the feeling of something so strong it would change every fiber of his being, that would alter the chemistry of his brain. it was almost visceral, the need he had to satisfy. he despised everything good there was in life, anything that should bring happiness bothered him, but he was still a human being, and being human meant longing for someone else, another half.
throwing the cigarette butt in the river, he turned around, not ready to be home in less than fifteen minutes. the feeling of getting swallowed in the darkness and silence of his own home made him almost paranoid, he was driving himself crazy. simon would have chosen to throw himself in the river if given the choice to pick between that and going home, but the early rays of the dawn started blinding him, and the shadows under his eyes were becoming darker by the second. maybe he'd take a longer route.
simons restless nights became quickly part of his life, following him everywhere around the globe during the years. he found in the lack of sleep a way to control his life, he desperately needed control. when all was to shambles, control was all he needed. sleep, exercise, food, sex, attitude and performance were things he could control, and the less he let himself slip into, the more in control his tired body felt.
"five hours of bad sleep every two days won't keep you alive." price'd told him, and simon groaned.
"good then."
"we need you alive, simon."
"ya need a soldier, not me."
"we need you, simon." price insisted, shaking his head. "you're a good man, we need you."
"i'm not a good man."
until his seventh year of mourning, simon never thought he would find peace of mind, but he found it coming along with spring's sweet scented flowers and chilly breezes; you.

Food for thought: Danny with a protection obsession that manifests in various ways relating to the deaths of the ghosts he meets. He becomes an (unofficial) OSHA inspector who terrorizes every warehouse in Amity. Half of his fights with Skulker quickly devolve into Phantom trying to wrestle him into a high visibility vest. He steals Vlad’s money and uses it to fund and improve the fire department. He sets up posters around the school with helplines for many different stressors, and even includes a number for people to text Phantom if they need help or someone to talk to. He teams up with Sam to help promote and fund no-kill shelters and encourages people to be sure they are able to properly care for their pets.
And if you walk into the back end of the Nasty Burger and see Danny Fenton having a stare-down with the temperature gauge for the sauce? Don’t worry about it.

DGM Danny Phantom WIP
Prologue
AO3 link here
For a while, Amity Park had been debating going worldwide with ghosts. There had been full scale council meetings discussing the matter, with votes and paperwork and everything! (A few younger members of the public had even tried  to segue the meetings into repealing the Anti-Ecto Acts, but got ignored by the much older council.) 
The main thing stopping progress, however, was credibility. Or rather, lack thereof.
While yes, the Doctors Fenton had papers published in ectobiology and cryptozoology—that anyone could access with a quick internet search—and a few videos had made it to YouTube, the town was largely seen as a tourist trap and a hoax. 
Regardless, Amity was determined to go public. They'd take professional videos, update their website, whatever they had to do to prove to the rest of the world that ghosts existed.
But all those plans came to a screeching halt when an emergency alert broadcast worldwide. 
 Their need for funding, aid, and support against the nuisance of a ghost infestation became inconsequential in the face of true monsters.
Demons.
Akuma.
Hundreds of thousands were dead, thousands still missing and unaccounted for all over the world.
Originally, it was declared a series of bombings and terrorist attacks; but each incident was too varied. News agencies tried their best to sweep things under the rug and governments were clearly shaken; but amateur videos pushed through. Clips flooded the internet, showcasing the devastation as several dozen mechanical creatures descended with cannons, spewing poison and death.Killing without discrimination.
When it became obvious that this was no hoax, that the governments of the world could no longer deceive their citizens—there were just too many videos, too many witnesses—an emergency broadcast was published.
"The New World Alliance may seem ill-prepared; but I promise you, they're not." A dark-haired Asian stood behind a podium, white beret and coat (accented by black) reflecting brightly in the spotlights. Microphones from news stations around the world crowded his face like a pack of hungry dogs as he glanced down through grey glasses at a sheaf of papers. 
Even viewed through the screen of a television, the air of gravity was almost palpable. 
“My name is Komui Lee and I'm here because I'm the Chief Officer of the Black Order's European branch. Opperating under the direct command of the Vatican, the Black Order has been defending the public from the Akuma threat for close to a century. We've managed to keep collateral damage and loss of life to a minimum. Until now.” His voice turned melancholy, face drawing downward. Eyes staying locked to the teleprompter, he reached for a large ivory mug and started to lift it. Hand faltering just inches above the table, Komui's frown deepened. 
The cup was significantly lighter than it should be. 
“We are aware that in this instance we have failed in our due diligence; and for that, we ask your forgiveness.” At this, he set down the empty mug and took a deep breath, pushing his shoulders back and holding his head high. 
“We come to you in the hopes that you will understand the good work that has been done up until now and ask that you support our exorcists. In the interest of this, please try your best to stay out of harm's way and report any Akuma sightings to your local police or our helpline which should be displayed at the bottom of your screen.”
Attention shifting back to his documents, the worn man—who clearly had been running on pure coffee alone for at least the past week—began to list general safety procedures: what would be required for people to avoid attacks and what to do when they happened. 
Lifting his eyes, he ended the speech with, “I must stress that this is not a constant danger. Do not panic and do not engage with these creatures. Ordinary weapons will not work and they take specialist training to combat. Please let the professionals do their jobs. It is, after all, what we're here for.”
He swept a hand left and gestured to the two individuals standing at parade rest beside him. 
The shorter of the two had strikingly similar facial features to Komui, but softer, suggesting a relation to the man. Her hair was also marginally lighter and fell all the way to her shoulders. The woman's older partner, by contrast, had legs for days and a sharp expression, with long, blonde bangs hiding an expansive, jagged scar that surrounded her one visible eye. Clinging to her shoulder was a monkey that vaguely resembled a silvery marmoset, regarding the room with massive pupils.
Both women's outfits were made from a thick, black cloth, their accents and embellishments unique to each individual. They may not have matched perfectly, with one showing little skin and the other leaning more fanservice-gothic-lolita, but like a rook and a knight in chess, it was obvious they came from the same set. 
“All exorcists will be wearing uniforms like this when on active duty. Please leave them to their work and do not interfere.” 
“Thank you for your attention. We will not be taking questions at this time.”
Finished with the announcement, Komui gathered the paper sheets off the podium and aligned them with each other before placing them under an armpit. Gripping his mug in his other hand, the head Supervisor turned to the camera and dipped forward in a curt bow. As he exited stage left, the two women accompanying him copied the gesture and followed their boss off screen. 
When compared to the outside world, Amity Park suddenly was "A Nice Place to Live".
The quaint city enjoyed their haunted reputation, its many shops filled with gimmicky graphics and souvenirs. The citizens knew just what to do in a ghost attack and weren’t truly scared. Either the spectres would move on or Phantom would rescue those truly in harm's way.
No one had actually died in a ghost attack, despite many close calls, and ghosts could be reasoned with. They had personalities and morals (no matter how many people said otherwise).
Their town could never function the way it did if they had Akuma in place of ghosts. The idea of it was downright sickening. 
Akuma were fiends of true horror and demise. A distinctly alien mindset that could not be related to in any way. Trying to make light of them was nothing short of stomach-turning to anyone with sound ethics. 
So Amity Parkers forgot about trying to ask for help. They’d made it this far on their own and would continue to do so for as long as possible. Government resources should be spent on helping those actually in need. If staying off the map prevented more deaths, then so be it; they could muddle through.
They just hadn’t considered that the ghosts might reach out publicly before the humans would.
Tumblr media
Please let me know what you thought. No promises on updates or when they might happen as I am still unmedicated for my ADHD 🥲
Also interested to see what people want to see.
MASSIVE thanks to @weshney for their incredible editing skills. They made sure this was actually legible.

Helpline part 2 “Why the hell is a child here?” Hall yelled! Constantine rolled his eyes, “Age is relative … tho even by demon standards I assume you’re rather young eh Sheila ?”
The demon pouted, “My name isn’t Sheila, I told you call me Konstelacio!”
“Right my apologies.”
Damian sneered,”Idiot.” Only to have Dick elbow him,”Don’t.”
“Now then! What do you need?” The girl crossed her arms and slowly paced by the edge of the circle.
“Wait wait hold up! What is the Infinite Realms?”
Demon girl kept on examining the circle, “Exactly what it sounds like.”
“What are you?”
“Rude”
“How old are you?”
“Depends”
“I thought this spell was supposed to be random?”
Dick groaned, “Wally-“ Zatanna put her hand up, “Hold on that actually is an important question. Why did you show up?”
The demons face contorted. “Uh because it’s my job?” Her hands coming up to her chest.
“How do you get a job like this Konstelacio ? This doesn’t exactly seem like a safe job for a kid?” Superman pondered.
She shrugged, “Eh, community service.”
The heroes gapped. Hal’s ring shone, “And what exactly does a demon have to do to be sentenced with community service?”
“None of your business!!!” The girl grew flustered shoulders tensing.
“Was it a violent crime?” Batman questioned
“That’s it I’m leaving!” She stepped closer to the middle of the circle “You humans are so rude!!!”
“Wait wait,” Constantine pleaded “I apologize on behalf of my colleagues. They have simply never met anyone as…” weird, different, odd “magnificent as you o great one!”
She hummed, “Oh no! The Great One is my uncle!!!”
Uncle? What did that even mean?!?! John was gonna have a heart attack at this rate.
“Yes well please don’t leave we truly do need your assistance!”
Batman cleared his throat, “We were trying to reach someone to help us with several world ending threats that have appeared.”
“Yes, you said that you were uh a helpline? Could you connect us with someone else?” Superman spoke in a kind tone.
“Well duh” the girl relaxed, “You need to actually talk about the issue tho and what exactly it is you’re looking for these things can be tricky.”
“Tell me about it. ….ow”
Batman continued, “ There seems to be some sort of disease spreading everywhere as well as a monster running rampant.”
“If it’s a magical monster why not have your magic users take care of it?”
“Captain Marvel and Dr Fate are both currently of world. We also think the disease may also be magic in nature.” Superman butted in.
The demons eyes lit up at the mention of the Captain only to turn to stone right after. Interesting thought Damian this might be useful information.
“ Alright then I’ll need as much info on these issues as I can! Tho I already do have a few ideas on who to contact about it!”
“This is the monster,” Aquaman pulled up photos of a blue glowing dragon in a gold amulet on screen. “It first appeared in Atlantis wreaking havoc in it wake as it took over the mainland along the coast of California. Our magicians were in able to harm it at all! One second it was there the next gone.”
“Uuughgghhhh Aragon!”
Necks almost broke looking back at her.
“Oh great you two know each other,” Constantine’s voice began to rise in pitch, “lovely.”
“What is he? My magic barely did anything to him too!” Zatanna asked
“Yeah,” Wally backed her up, “We couldn’t do anything against that thing!”
“He’s not a thing! He is a ghost his name is Arragon!”
Flash paled, “A ghost?? That thing couldn’t be a ghost !”
“That’s it I’m leaving! You are being rude again!”
John ran towards the circle, “Wait wait hold on now..”
“You are all being so rude! We are people! We have sentience Aragon is a person!” Red hot anger flushed her cheeks as her eyes wavered.
Flash went up to the circle, “You’re right you’re right it’s my fault entirely I’m sorry! Konstelacio!” Barry felt awful the young girl reminded him of Wally before the adoption. Sad and joking. Sad and demanding to be seen for what they are.
“Yeah whatever,” she looked away, “what about the illness ?”
“It started around the same time as the mons- as Aragon arrived. The illness seems to be random causing deterioration of the skin and violent outbursts,” Batman threw the file over the ring of the circle, “Here’s more info.”
“Hhhmm I’m going to be honest I don’t understand half of this stuff. You said it might be magic based?”
WonderWoman nodded, “ Yes I use to hear tales of something similar back on Themyscira. Supposedly it is one of the illnesses Pandora released from her box.”
“Well why didn’t you start with that ? I’m sure NanaDora will be happy to help!”

Dc x dp idea 60
Vlad is the one who gets Danny help.
He has a realization that he became so fixated on Maddie he lost sight on everything else. Maybe he find Maddie and Jack experimenting on a ghost, maybe a plot to capture and cut open phantom. Something makes him see the light.
Regardless of what he is the one who realizes how dangerous Danny’s home life is. How at risk he is.
So vlad leaves an anonymous tip on the justice league helpline regarding a portal into a different dimension. The location fentonWorks in amity park Illinois.
It would be even better if amity had an info block out so it just didn’t exist online. Maybe when they respond either the GIW have phantom and are ready/doing experiments.

Aokigahara Forest, Japan. Aokigahara is forest located in Yamanashi Prefecture on the island of Honshu, Japan. It is on the Northwestern flank of Mount Fuji. It’s also known as the “Sea of Trees”. Although it’s a popular destination for tourists, the forest is historically associated as a popular destination for suicides, earning it the nickname “Suicide Forest”. Every year, dozens of people venture into the forest with the intention of taking their own lives. Some claim it’s between 30 to 100 each year. It’s gotten to the point where the government had stopped publishing the statistics in order to prevent further deaths. Signs have been posted along the trails encouraging those considering ending their own lives to think of their families and call a suicide prevention association. Every year, teams are assembled to comb the forest for bodies.
Japan has a long tradition of suicide as an honorable practice. For example, Samurai practiced seppuku - a ritualistic suicide method by plunging a blade into their abdomen and disemboweling themselves, followed by decapitation as an act of mercy. Samurai performed this to prevent themselves being taken prisoner or restore lost honor. According to folklore, the forest was also used in the practice of Ubasute. This was practice of taking an elderly relative into the wilderness during times of hardship or famine and abandon them to the elements, where they would die of exposure or starvation. There is, however, no evidence that this ritual was actually practiced. Suicide rates in Japan spiked during the financial crisis in 2008, and have risen again in recent years. The most common method used in the forest is hanging. According to legend, Aokigahara is also haunted. It’s said that the forest is inhabited by yūrei - vengeful and evil spirits of the dead who lure travelers off of the path and lead them to get lost and disoriented, or encourage them to take their own lives. They are said to be the ghosts of suicide or ubasute victims. According to myth, Yūrei are created if a person dies a sudden or violent death, dies with strong negative feelings like rage or depression, or is not buried properly.
Adding to tense atmosphere, is the condition of the forest itself. It’s very easy to get lost in the forest. The trees are incredibly dense in some places, and the ground consists of porous lava rock that absorbs sound, making it both very quiet and difficult for sound to travel. It gives this place a very isolated feeling. The soil has a high iron content that interferes with GPS and cell phone signals. There are some who claim that compasses have malfunctioned and only spun in circles. This, however, is regarded as false. The dense foliage can block light from reaching the forest floor, hiding rocks and roots from view.
If you, or anyone you know, is considering suicide, please know that you are not alone out there. There are people who can help you. If you’re considering taking your own life please contact a suicide prevention helpline. Numbers for various crisis hotlines can be found below. Help is out there.
United States: 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, 988; Trans Lifeline, 1-877-565-8860; The Trevor Project, 1-866-488-7386; Veterans Crisis Line, 988 press 1
