Dan joined the Justice League after he got the all-clear on his mental state. It was nice being away from Amity Park and the Ghost Zone. And away from Danny. Even if he was Dani's mentor as she was in the kiddie league.
During a League meeting, a glowing green rift started opening up. Everyone but Dan was ready to fight whatever came out of it. Dan just sat there, waiting.
"Dan!" Danny cried, coming through the portal and closing it.
"No." Dan answered. The rest of the Leaguers looked confused.
"Come on! Please!" Danny asked.
"No."
"Do you know him, Wraith?" Superman asked cautiously. Dan didn't share much about himself, but they normally could get information from Dani.
"Yes!" "Unfortunately." Came Danny and Dan's replies simultaneously.
Danny made an affronted noise. "Unfortunately? We're technically the same person!" He cried before taking on a much calmer tone. "Which brings me to why I'm here-"
Dan cut him off smugly. "No."
"But, Dan!" Danny whined.
"Should have let me keep my timeline then."
"That timeline was horrible and you know it," Danny pouted. "Please. Just this once?"
"So..." Started Flash.
"What's he going on about?" Asked Green Lantern.
"He's the Ghost King. He wants me to take over his court duties," Dan explained. "Has tried to trick me and Phantasm into doing them for him multiple times. It never works, so I have no idea why he keeps trying."
"I didn't ask to be king," Danny pouted more, crossing his arms.
"Nope, you're doing great though." Dan's grin was just sharp enough for Danny to know that he was trying to egg him on. If he didn't start the fight then it couldn't be misconstrued as a bid for the crown.
"You-!" Danny cut himself off, eyes narrowing. "I know what you're doing and it's not going to work."
Dan just hummed looking at his nails.
"Can I bribe you into being king for the day?" Danny asked.
"No."
Danny threw his hands up. "Oh, come on!"

Lambert brings Narinder breakfast as promised, appearing to catch Narinder on the waking end of a particularly nasty nightmare. A peak into his journal is unsuccessful, but the cat enjoys the mortal joys of comfort food for the first time in millennia and the two enjoy talking normally with each other, every day and current stressors aside, it's pleasant. Heket is moved into what will now be considered the Bishop's formal home, it's only occupant until Leshy is found and/or Kallamar is rescued, in whichever order, and Lamb makes it very clear what rules are to be expected with their arrival. After Heket unintentionally gives the Lamb an idea of how she cares for her brothers, they find perhaps the frog is more somber than they thought. Lambert finds a brief repose in the snow one night and finds a cat ending his disappearing act to confront their own. They offer him an opening to be simple and soft, if only for a single moment, and he follows it.
(Originally part of a larger chapter but sliced for reading/editing ease. Another chapter either tomorrow or within a few days hopefully.)

Make the mess
I’ve just spent 80-billion-thousand-gazillion(?) hours working on a Percy Jackson/Disney Character(s) family tree, and am now trying to convince myself not to add in the characters from Ever After High as well (because it’s already a cluster fuck, and if I add in EAH I’m going to throw myself off of the 600th floor of the Empire State Building but I still think it would amusing🙃🥲)
