Chapter 14: Drama's Aftermath

"And that's how teen heroine Kim Possible captured Dr. Drakken and stopped the few Diablos that weren't destroyed by other heroes like the Justice League, the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, XJ-9, the Power Rangers, or the Sailor Senshi." J. Jonah Jameson of Daily Bugle Communications announced.

"The cheerleader gets a mention but Danny doesn't?" Sam frowned at this while watching the news.

"There are reports that Vlad Plasmius, one of Danny Phantom's ghostly enemies, was working in Gotham with the Legion of Doom." Jameson announced.

"That's better." Sam commented.

"In another related news, Metropolis industrialist Lex Luthor and his company LexCorp are being investigated for financing Drakken's plot." Jameson announced and then received a piece of paper. "This just in. A victim whose name mustn't be revealed for privacy laws filed a lawsuit requiring Drakken's shares of Bueno Nacho to be sold to return money Drakken stole from them. The victim may be quoted as saying this: "It's not only about the money. It's about Bueno Nacho not being owned by evil forces."

In the next day, Danny was discussing the latest events with the rest of Team Phantom. "So, are you going to join the Justice League?" Jazz asked. "If so, does this mean Tucker, Sam and I get to join as well since we're your sidekicks?"

"Team mates!" Sam insisted.

"Do they need a tech expert?" Tucker eagerly asked. "I'd love to work with that teleporting technology you've mentioned."

"You won't use it as an excuse to flirt with the superheroines, will you?" Sam asked with a glare.

"Do you really think I would do such a thing while I have a girlfriend?" Tucker asked.

"Yes." Sam, Jazz and Danny answered at the same time.

"But really, shouldn't we join too?" Jazz asked.

"There's only so much time we can be on Justice League missions without Mom and Dad missing us, Jazz." Danny explained.

"True." His sister sadly acknowledged.

"Either way, Danny, if they're recruiting by the time I'm living on my own, tell them about me." Sam asked.

"Okay, Sam." Danny replied.

"Do you know what the best part of this whole mess is?" Tucker proudly asked.

"The Justice League acknowledging Danny as a hero?" Sam asked.

"No!" Tucker answered. "It was Bueno Nacho finally being seen as the evil organization it is. Fortunately, the last Bueno Nacho in Amity Park closed years ago so we were safe."

"Danny, did the Justice League really suspect Lex Luthor is a supervillain?" Jazz asked. "I'm surprised."

"Me too." Tucker commented. "I always thought Winston Deavor was more likely to be a villain than Lex Luthor."

"Tucker, as much as it pains me to trust Government agencies, I'm sure the National Super Agency investigated Winston Deavor after his sister was exposed as the real Screenslaver." Sam replied.

"Deavor might be just as good at hiding evidence than Luthor is." Tucker suggested.

Danny didn't want to keep talking about Tucker's theories regarding Winston Deavor. "I'll talk to Barbara during our next date about you wanting to join the League."

"Why don't you just phone her?" Sam asked, not believing she suggested that.

"She won't talk about those things over the phone, Sam." Danny replied. "She's afraid someone might listen in."

"Paranoia much?" Sam asked.

"Well, Batman is the Leaguer she interacts with the most after all." Danny commented and his team mates nodded.

"Anyway, did you happen to meet Wonder Woman?" Sam asked and saw everyone staring at her. "What? She's my favorite Justice League superheroine."

"What about Batgirl?" Tucker teasingly asked.

"I'm not sure she really counts as a Leaguer." Sam replied with a frown.

"Am I missing something here?" Jazz asked her brother since she didn't know about Barbara being Batgirl.

"Are you asking the clueless one?" Danny teasingly replied. He didn't want to let Jazz into Batgirl's secret identity without her permission.

"Point." Jazz acknowledged.

Jack and Maddie then showed up. "Great news, kids!" Jack announced. "Maddie and I prepared a petition asking the Justice League to revoke Phantom's membership."

"Dad, he's a hero." Danny protested.

"Danny, you're too naïve." Jack commented. "No wonder the goth had to confess her feelings for you to believe them."

"Jazz? Tucker? Sam? What about you?" Maddie asked. "Will you sign the petition?"

"No, Mom/Mrs. Fenton." Jazz, Tucker and Sam answered.

"Would a minor's signature be even accepted?" Sam asked.

"Good question, Sam." Maddie understood the issue.

"Let's consult a lawyer about that." Jack suggested and they left.

"What do we do now?" Sam asked.

"You could do your homework and catch up with your studies." Jazz suggested.

"Or we could play a game before." Tucker suggested in reply.

"Game." Danny and Sam simultaneously said, to Jazz's dismay.

End chapter.

Author's Note: Sorry it's a short chapter. It's a breather.

Answer to Artorias (Guest): Thank you. While I'm aware Kryptonians are portrayed as being vulnerable to magic, it's so unusual to happen outside comics I barely remember it. In this case, I took in mind the Justice League Unlimited episode where Deadman possesses Superman. The Man of Steel was just as vulnerable as everyone else Deadman possessed in that episode. That's why I had Superman and Supergirl eventually using deflector belts to protect themselves from Vlad.

Answer to Leonardo (Guest): É sempre um prazer encontrar um leitor que considere minhas fanfics como favoritas. Quanto à sua pergunta, sem spoilers.
