Somehow I imagine it to turn into a Liminal city. A city that migrates, no fixed point or location but always in a place that seems to makes sense that there's a city there.
Like somewhere across a long highway there's a gas station with welcome to amity ville sign, you don't think much about it. It seems a bit off, the people seem a little off, but you're just here for gas. No need to think why you think there's something off with the cashier, at least they don't have anything strange at a first glance. It's probably because you vaguely don't remember a city in this route but then again, it's a boring and seemingly generic town. You've probably just forgotten, you don't need to pay attention to these small towns to get to one megacity to another. Just get to the next county/city, but somewhere in the next county you see the same gas station but with a motel near by, a welcome to amity sign. you've sworn you had passed by before but you don't remember seeing a motel, it's probably just something similar enough to give deja vu but it's not the same isn't it. You hear the truckers in your next stop about the city that only appears during certain times and at specific day, on certain highways. One swore he got flack for late delivery because he slept at the motel only to find that the next morning he's driving on the road to Arizona instead, when he turned around the damned city was gone.
The world is dying.
The GIW shot a nuke into the Ghost Zone, and now the world is paying for it.
Amity, however, is lasting the longest due to already being contaminated with Ecto.
Dash has an insanely dumb idea to save it.
Danny is just desperate enough to try it.
He manages to use a horrifying amalgamation of tech, time amulets, and magic bullshittery to actually move the city of Amity Park to a different dimension.
It, the entire city, has just crash landed (upright but crooked) a few miles down the road from Smallville.
Danny has found himself as a cat. And there’s good news and bad news about it. The good news is that he’s a magical cat or something similar, seeing as he has two tails and can go Very Big if he wants to. Bad news? He’s pretty sure they’re in a different dimension now.
Cute news, both Ellie and Jordan are itty bitty kittens and utterly adorable, he would murder for them. They’re so tiny! Like, yeah they got physically de-aged before all this so they could properly pass as his kids- along with part of Dan’s parole- but this? He could hold them in his hands if he still had them!
Alright! First things first, find a shelter and avoid the destroyed buildings along with whatever destroyed them in the first place. Then he could figure out if this is an accident or some sort of forced vacation. But shelter first.

I don't know if I'm misremembering things or if it's because I've read too many fanfic that I'm not sure if it's canon, but Bruce's dad was a doctor too, if I remember correctly. It's like a nice parallel.
Bruce's trauma is caused by violence he was helpless to do anything about so fights in response. Damian, on the other hand, fights because it's all he knows, as an Al Ghul, as Son of the Bat, a legacy of warriors, assassin. But Damian chooses for Damian for the first time, and that's for Damian to lay down his weapon. He no longer has to fight, that finally he is safe and secure enough to know that regardless, Bruce Will love him unconditionally. Dick CHOSE to became Robin then Nightwing, Jason Chose to be Robin then decided to be Red Hood, Tim Blackmailed his way to be Robin and Stubbornly held Red Robin.... But Damian was RAISED in a cult believing he HAS to be worthy of being the HEIR, either as an Al Ghul or Son of the Bat. He NEVER chose this life and only knows how to fight, to Be a Weapon. Bruce didn't want kids to fight, it's the kids who chose to fight and HAS a personal reason to fight. But not Damian, other than he was BORN for it, that it Was raised to think EXPECTED of him. I think it's beautiful to be honest.
He doesn't even have to stop being a hero. I'd imagine him being a Doctor first, hero second. Probably the go to for alien Bioweapon attacks, sick Alien or Meta's from accidents and shit. A medical professional for JL and someone to replace the old lady doctor. Imagine stopping a villain and curing him or he cannot fully fix, makes it manageable. God knows there's a lot of runaway science experiments villain in DC or villains like Dr. Freeze that needs medical assistance. New fancy drugs, plagues or toxins to cure and trace where it's coming from, kinda like treating the symptoms then eliminate the root cause(stopping the villain), just Damian getting his OWN theme not one he INHERITED.
Ok Damian doctor AU ‼️‼️‼️‼️
I am positively feral of the idea that John Constantine is an ex of both Maddie and Jack Fenton. Imagine the possibilities. They’re endless.
WRITTEN BY A COP: Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or a loved one’s life. In daylight hours, refresh yourself of these things to do in an emergency situation… This is for you, and for you to share with your wife, your children, & everyone you know. After reading these 9 crucial tips, forward them to someone you care about. It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in. 1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do :The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do! 2. Learned this from a tourist guide. If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you… Chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION! 3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy.. The driver won’t see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives. 4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc. DON’T DO THIS!) The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR , LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF, Repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location. 5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage: A.) Be aware:look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor , and in the back seat. B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars. C.) Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side.. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.) 6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!) 7. If the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; and even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern! 8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked ‘for help’ into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim. 9. Another Safety Point: Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird.. The police told her ‘Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door..’ The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman said, ‘We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.’ He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby’s cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby.. He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby’s cries outside their doors when they’re home alone at night. 10. Water scam! If you wake up in the middle of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your outside taps full blast so that you will go out to investigate and then attack. Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbors! Please pass this on This e-mail should probably be taken seriously because the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on America ‘s Most Wanted when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana I’d like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle.. I was going to send this to the ladies only, but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it onto them, as well. Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it and it’s better to be safe than sorry.. Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or a loved one’s life.
Somehow, I'm Imagining that Clockwork is Danny's 'ghost parent's or close enough that it makes misunderstanding worse. Like clearly, eating problems always is hereditary.
When the ghost, Phantom joins the Justice League he's a real boon. His range and strength of powers are unmatched. Casualties, injuries, even length of time taken to complete battles comes all the way down.
One day his colleagues ask about his fights where he's lost. Kind of morbidly they want to know, what kind of beings could threaten their most powerful member. What was out there and dangerous enough to really threaten the being that made Darkseid cry. Batman wants to know because he's not happy with his threat assessment or contingency plans for a creature that has admitted to being able to crack their planet like an egg.
Danny tells them about his earlier fights, several of them. He edits the stories thoroughly to obscure his own identity, the fact that he's human sometimes, and that his friends had to help him (protecting their identities most effectively by denying their existence). Danny finds that the gimmicks of his rogues makes his audience laugh. So, he gets swept up and maybe tells a few more stories than intended.
And at the end of each story, he'd explain what he learned from being bested by that enemy. Then how he used what he learned to get them next time before their evil plan could be completed.
"And it was soup time for Skulker!" "And I souped her!"
It was a little unsettling to be honest, but they figured it was a translation issue from Ghost to English or something with his accent. He probably wasn't saying soup.
Then, next week there is a battle against another ghost. Danny will tell them later that an Ancient went rogue, though they have no idea why this eyeball is trying to kill everyone. They get to see Danny actually working hard against a foe. Though, they're all unconscious by the end of the fight.
During the debrief a few days later they notice Danny with a weird accessory. A thermos.
"What you got there buddy?" "You know the eyeball was causing trouble! I had to make soup out of him. For punishment."
Danny wasn't letting this lunatic out for at least a fortnight.
Batman updates his threat assessment with Superman's troubled blessing.
Phantom's extraordinary abilities - above those of other ghosts - seems to be derived from his cannibalistic tendencies.
Hanahaki AU, Jason’s flowers are Blood Blossoms. No one knows why his affliction hurts him more than the average diseased person.
this reminded me of Hot Fuzz but Gotham Version.
At least Jim Gordon and Bruce Wayne won't let him be reassigned again. If Bats looked into him, they'd probably get a whiplash. This is perhaps a more successful Dick Grayson. Feral but had quips and jokes,check. Kid hero, check. Police work, check. Actually cleaned up the police force.... Dick probably could just show up and burst through the door and just hug Danny. Practically begging as he asks how, to teach him or something how to clean up Bludhaven police force... He tried but can't.
I'd assume his main nemesis in this case is the Court of Owls. I imagine, rather than being docile in his presence, Talons go feral, rabin and cannibalistic. Like, they never had enough ectoplasm and there's a walking pure source right there. Danny also has a team to protect and can't be too reckless fighting Talons, he has to defend them as well.
Inspired by this post
For the longest time, the kids of Amity Park always thought that the police is a fictional job. Like, sure. They have a sheriff but it's like saying because there are knights there must also be wizards.
Well, there were real wizards. Danny accidentally encounters some of them while going around the Ghost Zone. Not like Freakshow type of wizard. A real wizard. The type that spends their day in their room reading and experimenting.
So that beg the question, is the police real? And Danny goes out on a hunt for a police ghost. And it isn't even that hard. Asking around the ghosts that are once human, Danny easily finds legit police officers and asks them questions.
That discovery blows his mind. Collecting enough evidence, Danny shares his finding with his friends. Everyone brushes him off saying he is faking it and is just trying to gain attention, even Wes doesn't believe him and he is supposed to be the crazy one.
It is until Mr. Lancer himself confirms that police officers are real that they realize Danny wasn't lying. After that, his focus immediately changed. From becoming an astronaut to becoming a police officer. And surprisingly, it is a lot easier to be a police officer than to be an astronaut.
Him being a "meta" also doesn't pose any problem as a new program from being pushed by the FBI. Danny is pretty sure the police and FBI don't get along that well but it's not his problem.
Danny is very good at his job. Almost all of his cases get solved or at least reached a very reasonable conclusion. No matter what job he gets assigned to, he easily solves them. Investigation, car chase, emergency. Literally anything.
But there is one single flaw about Danny. He hates politics. Like he would rather spend his summer with Vlad than take or give bribes. That makes it hard for him to rise in ranks and gain a higher position. Not like Danny is really gunning for it anyway.
But that also doesn't last long, Danny finds out about corruption in his police department and reports it immediately. Surprisingly, the head department himself is involved in the corruption. The head department tries to send people to assassinate him but Danny is Danny. He takes down all the assassins and manages to make them confess to their crime.
With them being caught, the head department also gets captured. But still, it is politics, so Danny is transferred away in the name of promotion.
And that is how he officially gets the position as the captain of the Swat team at Gotham. The first time he gets deployed is to stop a gang fight between someone named Two face and Black Mask.
That night, the Gothamites swear that the one in the SWAT suit is not a human. He rushes through the gun fires and avoids each bullet like they are some snowballs someone throws. 15 minutes. That is what some of the goons say. That is the amount of time for the SWAT team to take them down.
Their efficiency rivals even the bats. Except for the death that is caused by the earlier shootout, no one dies after the SWAT team arrives. Black Mask and Two Face are captured that night and for the first time, the police captures the rogues without any of the bats help.
The news goes around fast and soon almost everyone knows that there is a new SWAT team captain. For the first time, the reputation of the police department rose. But for GCPD, it is the busiest and most scary month for them.
All the police officers at GCPD agreed to one thing. If you catch the attention of the SWAT team, get ready to go to jail. So far, no one has managed to escape his sight except those that are truly clean. One after another, police officers get captured and replaced. At some point, there are even some rich people that are captured.
Commissioner Gordon stares at the list of police officers at GCPD. He is stunned since he doesn't even know how the captain of the SWAT team does it. Almost all the police here are the clean ones, while the rest are people with non major problems like lazy or incompetent. Gordon looks at the name of the SWAT team and stares at the name of the Captain.
Daniel James Fenton
A normal name for an extraordinary young man. Looking at his past records shows a young man with excellent work ethics with impressive capabilities. If Gordon is to retire one day, he hopes that Danny will take his place.
Suddenly, an alarm goes off. There is a breakout at Arkham. Just as he is about to order his team to move, the SWAT team van rushes out of the building with an impressive feat.
Danny is really having the time of his life. His core that is screaming for him to protect people has been nourishing in Gotham. From him removing the corrupt police officers, all the way to him taking down gangs. All of it is helping him. It does really help that he can speak to ghosts and be ghosts himself.
As Danny prepares himself for the imminent chase that is about to happen, a ring sounds from his phone. Picking up the call, a loud noise goes out.
Ellie: Daddy, the news says that there is a breakout at Arkham. Is it true?
Danny: Yes, honey. That's why I need you to stay home okay. You remember what you need to do if you are in danger right?
Ellie: Yes! Push the big red button. And the green one if super dangerous.
Danny: Good. Stay home until I finish my job okay?
Ellie: Okay!
Putting down his phone, Danny checks his gear one more time.
Jamal: Your daughter, cap?
Danny: Yeah. She has been trying to get me to bring him to work. You know the GCPD isn't a place I should bring a child to.
Jamal: Oh, for sure. If I had a child, I wouldn't even let them near there.
George: Pft, you don't even have a girlfriend. How can you have a child?
Jamal: Oi! Don't underestimate me. I can easily have a girlfriend if I want to.
Jennifer: Yeah, right. I'd give you 100 bucks if you can have a girlfriend by the end of the year.
Jamal: Aight, bet.
Hans: Cap, I get a report that Joker is nearby. Do we go after him?
Danny: Why do you even need to ask? Let's go bust some clown's ass.
Hans: Roger that.
Hans that is driving, makes a wild turn to the left into a smaller road. Hans is their best driver and knows Gotham roads like the back of his palm. Danny finds him when he busts out a robbery group and had a chase scene with him.
If not for the fact that Danny can fly faster than a car, he wouldn't have been able to catch Hans that night. After pulling some strings, Danny manages to convince Hans to join his SWAT team as the driver.
As the van flies through the road of Gotham, they finally see a white car with a green wig and red nose on the front.
Hans: Cap, we got Joker in our view.
Danny: Release a warning.
Hans taps a few buttons and a microphone falls down from the van ceiling.
Hans: To the car in front. You are ordered to stop right this instant.
Hans put away the microphone fully expecting the car not stopping. And true to his expectation, all he receives is loud laughter and a few gunshots.
Danny: Jamal, shoot them.
Jamal: Roger that.
Kicking open the backdoor, Jamal releases his drones into the sky. The drones fly and turn and suddenly, a barrel comes out of each drone.
Jamal: I got the visual. Firing in 3..2...1.
Ratatatatatatatata
Bullets fly through the sky towards Joker's car as the driver tries to avoid the bullets. Unfortunately, this is not a movie and soon the car crashes to the side as all four of its tires have exploded.
Hans stops the car by the side of the car crash and Danny and his team rushes out. Taking the Joker and his gang out of the smoking car, Danny makes a few calls and a few police cars arrive at the scene.
Danny strips all of Joker's and the gang's equipment down to their underpants and sends them away. Getting back inside the van, Hans continues driving towards the next rouge that has been sighted.
Danny: Strap up boys. It will be a long night.
It would be interesting if Pit madness acts like a parasite. The reason it normally goes away with other is the Pit Demon starves and dies after eating excess Ecto left on the body. The more liminal one is, the longer the pit demon survives. The thing is Jason is undead on his own, crawled out of his grave and everything those 'produces' his own Ecto that the the Pits feed on to survive, leaving very little to Jason, just enough to survive and have alight enhanced healing.
The fun part starts when Vlad over shadows Jason and the Pits found a better source than a 'malnourished' revenant. Just Imagine Vlad accidentally catching the Pit parasite and it all transfering to Vlad. A more abundant and healthy source and can cause more proliferation. Unlike Jason whose mostly alive, shit start to hit the fan for Vlad because he's only half alive and sustained by his ghost half so he's a lot weaker now to reserve energy.
This also allows Sam, Tucker and Val to take center stage since can't let Phantom catch Ghost Parasites. Fenton parents hunting Plasmius for 'being and evil ghost hive mother' and 'trying to take over the amity ville with it's evil ghost spawns'. Not to mention how the rest of the Zone will treat Plasmius. "Ew, where have you been. It's what you get for overshadowing random people"
I want Jason and Danny get a relaxing doctor's visit, complete with 'vaccinations', ghost health talks, and out-patient prescriptions. Danny and Jason teaching each other, one being a ghost while the other, proper vigilante training on top of school work. There are no ghost incidents because no Ghost wants to catch Vlad parasite/Pit demons that's proliferating. Just them hiding away in the fortified Fenton home tutoring Danny because he desperately needs help. Jason seeing the Team Phantom in action, the Fenton Parents, GIW, Vlad masters with the perfect excuse that the only report he has on Phantom is him being a halfa, half human, thus by default became a gatekeeper as well as a diplomat of good reputation to the other side and 'definitely' not a 'violent' menace nor non-sentient or malicious.
When Mr. Lancer got promoted to Vice Principal, the school hired a new English teacher, an out-of-towner who wasn't phased by all the ghost stuff. For the first assignment of the year, he asked them to write a paper on any Shakespeare play they'd ever read.
The Monday after the paper was due, Mr. Todd asked Danny to stay after class. Danny frowned; he thought he'd done really well on the paper! He turned it in early and everything!
The teacher waited until everyone had left before asking, "Kid? Is everything okay at home?"
On the desk lay his paper, titled: "Why I Should Totally Kill My Godfather: An Essay About Shakespeare's Hamlet, I Swear".
Continuing on a bit from this post:
Tim, complaining about Bruce grounding him again: It doesn’t even make sense! It’s like everything I do is a problem now but I’m not doing anything different!
Kon, who thinks a grounding is when you get sent outside to do yard work: Have you tried digging a hole? Like a lot of holes.
Bart, whose punishments are typically doing chores without powers: Or raking leaves?
Cassie, who knows exactly why Tim keeps getting in trouble: … Does Bruce know you’re at Titan Tower?
Tim: No, why?
Cassie: No reason.
***Later that day***
Jason: Why is Tim digging a grave in the front yard?
Dick: He got grounded again.
Jason: So… is it for him or Bruce?
Dick: Not sure yet.
