DPXDC prompt ~ Honor to Us All ~ Gotham as one true the most haunted city edition

~~~~~

Instead of a welcoming banner in front of a city was an old column, so familiar to a boy, with a warning inscription:

"To outsiders mad enough to attack Gotham: You will be forced to understand that dead soldiers will also go into battle. And having risen to protect, they will be ready to perish all again, So no one of the living would die near them."

Danny smiled with love. 'I’m home, Mother.' Ghost whispered into the void. And Gotham answered.

~~~~

Danny: My Lady, I brought you the crown of Pariah Dark. And The Ring of Rage. They’re gifts to honor the Gotham family. Lady Gotham: The greatest gift and honor is having you on my side, child.

~~~~~

Danny Fenton was born in Gotham and lived here until his parents decided to move. The city didn’t accept them.

'When I die, I want to be one of the Gotham Knights.' Little Danny with pride and eagerly reported to his parents after visiting the Battle Glory of Gotham Museum on a school trip. This evening, Danny learned that not all his plans should be told to his parents.

Danny know his parents are crazy about ghosts. and that all ghosts are "bad". But obviously, the ghosts they talk about, and his, or rather Gotham's, ghosts are completely different creatures. The spirits of the defenders are those who, even in the darkest of times, make the shadows of the Gotham a protection to the citizens.

But that knowledge is his little secret for now. Because if he starts arguing he’ll be punished and he won’t be able to run off to the roof where he’s arranged to meet Robin. Robin’s cool! He works with one of the 'still-living' knights. And he knows more about the city than anyone. Danny doesn’t want to offend his friend.

~~~~~

Mr Lancer doesn’t understand why the lecturer about ghosts, Constantine, after seeing Danny, said something about the bloody gothamites and their inability to stay underground. It wasn’t nice at all. Mr Lancer doesn’t blame Mr Fenton for smiling at the man a little aggressive and viciously. Poor boy probably didn’t know how to respond to his behavior. Danny moved to Amity Park a long time ago and did not stand out at all. So what was this man’s problem?

Danny only half dies because Lady Gotham blessed him when he was a child. So when Danny sees snow-white hair and glowing green eyes in the mirror, he is not frightened but surprised that the Lady protected him even though he is not living in Gotham now.

~~~~~

Danny knows gothamites don’t consider that Gotham is a part of the USA. Even their Metropolis neighbors are just pathetic cowards, unable to withstand the hardships of life. No, really. Why the hell would they be patriots of the country that thinks they’re its dirty secret? This opinion is shared by old ones and children, rich ones and residents of Crime Alley, heroes and villains.

Danny loves Gotham. And he likes local jokes about how if one of their supervillains ever took power enough to threaten the government, he would be obliged to release them from that citizenship. Otherwise, he would be shamed and ridiculed by the inhabitants.

Phantom is not a villain. But for Gotham? For their common purpose? He is ready to pretend to be.

~ A ghost can bring his city ~ Great honor in one way ~

Gothamites remember that the child of mad scientists was the only person Boy Wonder was willing to call a friend. They remember how boys' laughter was heard from rooftops and from alleys on particularly dark nights. And they know whose restless spirit has returned to mourn the death of the second Robin.

The boy’s parents must be fools. Many outsiders are. They call their blessing a curse. People die in Gotham. And not all of them come back. Residents know that these ones are chosen by Lady Gotham herself.

The public enemy of Amity Park number 1? What nonsense. He is not theirs anything! In Gotham they will accept the Phantom as a guard, as a silent shadow, as a villain or a hero. In any kind. Because he belongs here. He should be part of their dance between life and death. He should be amidst dark alleys and acid rains, gliding between fear and laughter in the air.

Even local villains experience strange yearning. Like something’s wrong. Like a piece of a puzzle that’s lost. Therefore, the local abandoned observatory is empty, and none of them is in a hurry to call it their territory. Because it will be in demand, it will be loved and needed. It’s only a matter of time.

Let the spirit of Gotham guide you home, child. Dead gothamite is still gothamite. Which means there will always be a place for you.

~~~~~

When Danny first enters his favorite cafe in his Phantom form and with a wound on his leg, he doesn’t expect a cleaning lady to yell at him immediately for the blood on the floor. With a mop in his hands and with already bandaged leg, Danny feels as if all his worries had gone. They are not afraid of him. Of course. No one in Gotham would avoid him because of glowing eyes and sharp teeth. And that’s nice.

The waitress throws a tray of food on a table next to him: Welcome dinner for the wandering son of the alley. Red Hood said it's your usual order. He’ll be waiting for you on the gargoyle. You should know which one.

~~~~

If parents listened to his childhood stories about good ghosts, they would know that the Phantom is not special. He is not an anomaly of ghost nature and not a mistake. He is one of many who always were and will be defenders of the city. Danny stands in front of the costume that he admired years ago. He's ready to take another shift at work. The remains of his colleagues can rest quietly this night. Lady will wake them only when in dire need.

I think it would just be funny if DC made like a HBO Max show or something that’s just the misadventures of their Magic Users.

Like, Zatanna would instantly be the main character, objectively. Her thing could be that she just wants to like- be a regular stage magician but is constantly bombarded with random magic issues.

By association John Constantine would be the acting duo protagonist. I firmly believe he should just be Zatanna’s annoying ex who randomly shows up on her couch. Probably has similar development to his Legends of Tomorrow show counterpart.

Then it’s probably the magic user of the week who summoned an elder god or something. Characters like Ragman and Dr. Fate probably deserve a few focus episodes. There would probably be some magic Atlantan artifact or something that would introduce King Shark. Mainly just to have a romantic plot with John.

Raven and Shazam would weasel their way into “main” character status. Zee and John would probably like- accidentally start raising like a 15-ish Raven, sort of, cuz of the whole Trigon thing. They would probably fight him in a season finale type deal or something.

Billy would just be the biggest chaotic force in the show, would probably have some really amusing scenes as Shazam before he lets them know he’s like barely 14.

Billy would probably bring the seven deadly sins as a plot line with him. So they probably travel to Hell and face/meet them one at a time, working their way to Mammon. Maybe Zatanna gets a cool succubus gf like Chantinelle down there I don’t know.

So this is a set of expression practices using expressions from an art meme that kind of took on a life of their own and decided to be a whole AU.

The premise is that the gubbermint, in true reactive fashion, decides that metas/speedsters are too powerful to be allowed to just run around. No pun intended. So through a combination of trickery, betrayal, and just not leaving them any options, the speedsters are all rounded up and held in a facility that contains some pretty heavy duty anti-meta dampening fields, etc. However. They were not reckoning on the speedsters’ well honed ability to take apart just about anything with enough time. The speedsters–good and bad–escape.

Picture ID’s: 1. Avery Ho gives a shaky grin, tears pouring from her eyes and dripping from her face, as she says, “Oh my God–You’re alive!” She is shown from the shoulders up, wearing a form fitting but featureless grey bodysuit that covers her to the neck. Light is falling on her in a way that suggests she is in a dark room facing an open door. The image is greyscale aside from her eyes, which are brown.

2. Bart Allen and Ace West cringe back, lit from behind. Both appear disturbed by what they’re looking at, which is in the direction of the viewer. Bart exclaims “Oh grife–” while Ace declares “That is sick”. The boys are wearing grey bodysuits identical to Avery’s, their hands are visible, raised into the picture, and the suits cover everything but their fingertips.The image is greyscale aside from their eyes. Bart’s eyes are golden and Ace’s eyes are brown.

3. Barry Allen and Eobard Thawne are shown in the same grey uniform the younger speedsters have been shown wearing. Barry is walking a little ahead of Eobard. Both men are slightly bloody, Eobard is bruised as well. Barry’s expression is a nervous, strained smile as he glances over his shoulder at Eobard. Barry suggests, “Maybe we won’t have to kill any of them…?” While Eobard, smiling viciously and staring to the side with a predatory look, counters, “Wouldn’t count on it, Care-Barr.” The image is greyscale aside from their eyes and the blood on them, with Barry’s eyes being a light blue and Eobard’s eyes being bright red.
