Author note: Please review! I swear the next chapter is longer, I am just a tad rushed right now.
Response to review (if I don't reply, it's not because I didn't see it- you just so happened to say something that got my attention even more):
Brisingrstorm- Pffft no *coughs nervously* what are you talking about? *laughs nervously then sighs* okay, I actually didn't mean for her to look like Mandy from Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, but now that you mention it- I can't stop laughing! I didn't meant to do that on purpose but that is rather hilarious.

Chapter 2- Rumor:
Danny:
I looked around lair. I hadn't been out of the Ghost Zones in years- I don't know what the world was like, but frankly, I couldn't care. I had everything I needed here. My status. My life. My love.
I had everything here- I was living my after life- or life whatever. I loved it here- always exploring, always something new to find, and I just- I loved it…and I wouldn't leave it for the world.
Still, I had my doubts about the safety of everything here. I mean, with those robotic things attacking. I had yet to figure out how they got into the Zone. Yet, when they got there, there were no more after the ones we found were destroyed. Either way, I found it interesting. I wondered if the robots made it to Earth…I scoffed, yeah right. I knew there was no way that the robots would have been able to make it through the Ghost Zone to Earth.
I mean, whoever made the robots was stupid to make a teleportation device that used the Zone as a faster way to travel. Then again, maybe they didn't know they were using the Zone- the trip is supposed to be too quick to notice. Anyone lost in transport would be because that the robots drifted off the course- fidgeted.
Still…I was sure that Earth was still safe. I looked out through the window at the Zone- everything was so much more peaceful now besides the few fights. Everyone was content- everyone listened. I met new ghosts that made good friends since Tucker and everyone I knew died- of old age as I had been in hiding that long.
However, I still had a few people/ghosts that I loved with my whole heart and core. I would never put them in any danger- I can't actually. It goes against my obsession to not protect them. I needed to protect people I knew that were in danger.
However, there was still nagging sensation in my core that something…something was wrong…and that I was needed…somewhere. It was hard explaining that to them, but they understood in the end.
"I love you," I said to them as I kissed them and headed out to the human world.
It was time…to check if I was needed once again. When I landed there though, there was no danger. I landed in the forests- looked similar to Wisconsin, but I knew I was safe since Vlad died a long time ago. It didn't seem like anyone was in danger. I headed to the caves and decided to camp out there for a few days- for now.
Third Person:
The Justice League got into a fighting stance until they realized that their enemies…weren't attacking. Luthor was leaning against Grodd as if injured.
"What do you want," Superman asked narrowing his eyes.
Lex coughed,
"Help."
The team was taken by surprise slightly. Why wouldn't their enemies fight them?
"Look," Grodd started, "we are aware that we are the last people you would wish to help, however, with this- war, or whatever the media is calling it- going on, you can't really blame us, now can you?"
"I would never expect you to make such a move, Luthor," Superman said.
Luthor narrowed his eyes,
"Believe me the last thing I wanted to do was admit I needed help, especially by you."
Superman smirked with his arms crossed.
"Why the visit, why now," Batman asked.
"Besides the fact that we were trying to hold onto our dignity as long as we could," Gorilla said dryly, then he turned serious, "we are all losing people. As much as it pains us to go to you for help- we do want to survive after all."
"How many of you are left," Shayera asked.
"Not many," Lex said.
"Who's left," Flash asked.
"Besides us," Lex answered, deciding to humor him, "Circe, Cheetah, Captain Cold, Copperhead, and not many more."
Superman's eyes turned hard. There were as many villains left as many heroes. The only heroes left- besides Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Hawk Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Aquaman, and the Martian- were very few in numbers. Apparently, it had taken a toll on the villains' numbers as well.
"What do you plan," Batman asked, narrowing his eyes- no matter they said he knew there was something they wanted in return.
"A truce- temporary, of course," Lex said coughing.
"Of course," Superman agreed, narrowing his eyes.
The whole league was on high alert- as was Lex and Grodd, but…if they wished to get out alive…they would have to work together.
