The Justice League, minus Batman and Wonder Woman, were gathered in the empty court room. Danny floated above the others, knees held to his chest, chin rested on top of his knees, and gazing despondently out the window. Eyes glued to the asteroids where a planet once was.
More specifically, the moon.
The planet is gone. It should be gone.
So then why is the moon still there? With the gravitational pull of Adjoris-4 gone after it's destruction, the moon should have drifted away, with nothing left to keep it there. Yet it stays, and it looks like it's still in orbit even!
"How is the moon still there?", mumbled Danny quietly to himself, unable to shake this feeling he had about the whole thing, "It should have drifted away by now."
He did mean for anyone to hear him. But thanks to his super hearing, Superman heard Danny loud and clear. He looked up to the moon and agreed with the ghost's skeptism and confusion.
Something isn't right. And Superman wanted to know what.
"Three billion gone.", Flash said solemnly, "I can't believe it."
"Neither can I.", Superman said determinedly, "I want to take a closer look at what happened."
"Why?", Danny heard Hawkgirl's voice down below him, "John admits he's guilty, no one is disputing the facts."
"Maybe I am.", Superman responded stubbornly,"J'onn I need you to come with me, Flash, Hawkgirl, and Danny, you think you can buy us sometime at the court?"
Danny's ears perked up and he looked down at Superman with wide eyes, they would've just left him. They actually did in similar situations. But Superman had faith in his friend. And Danny will trust that faith.
"You're asking the fastest man in the world to slow things down?", Flash says unsurely, "Won't be easy."
Danny floated down, joining the others.
"Ironic even, but that actually sounds fun when you put it like that.", Danny comments, giving the heroes a small smile, "I usually annoy my enemies, I'm kind of curious what annoying a court would be like."
…...
"John Stewart, you may question your accuser.", the middle head announced once the court was back in session.
Danny sat in between Flash and Hawkgirl, watching as only Green Lantern Kanjar-Ro were the only ones up on floating platforms.
"No questions.", was Green Lantern's stoic reply.
Danny shared panicked and worried looks with Hawkgirl and Flash.
"None?", the right head said in disbelief, "Don't you intend to defend yourself?"
"No, I don't."
He sounded so heartbroken and defeated and Danny felt a strong pain shoot through his chest in turn. It could be panic, worry, or fear for his newly made friend.
The aliens were muttering frantically in the pews, Danny just wasn't sure what to do, the trial seems to be over before they could really do anything.
Of course, Flash decided to prove the halfa wrong.
"I object!", Flash shouts, "You call this a trial? I say it's a joke!"
What is he doing!? They can't help if they're kicked out!
Hawkgirl seemed to have the same thought, reaching over Danny and pulling Flash down back in his seat with a harsh tug.
"Are you out of your mind?", Hawkgirl whispered, "What do you think you're doing?"
Flash's only answer was a smug grin as he said, "Prepare to be dazzled."
Danny's not sure if he likes where this is going or not.
"Remove him!", the middle head ordered.
The same orange lizard-like aliens, the security, that met the league upon their earlier entrance, lunged for the human, only for Flash to speed out of their grasp in no time at all.
Speeding around, knocking the rest of security over and entering the main floor where the trial itself took place.
"Listen to me.", Flash spoke loudly so to be heard, his expression hard, and voice stern, "For something this important you got to hear from both sides."
"Flash, I told you not to get involved.", Green Lantern hissed.
"They're railroading you pal!", Flash protested before being grabbed from behind from one of the security guards.
"Hey!", he protested as he was slowly dragged back, and away from the main floor.
Danny cursed to himself in Esperanto, as his body tenses, hands clenching themselves into tight fists. Debating whether he should follow Hawkgirl's lead or fly down and help Flash.
The decision was made for him.
"Wait.", the right head called out, "This being may have a point. We don't want any lingering doubts about our judgment, now do we?"
"Of course not.", the left head agreed, "But who would speak for John Stewart."
"Isn't there a defense attorney or something like that?", Danny asked Hawkgirl quietly, unclenching his fists.
Danny didn't have much knowledge when it came to lawyers and trials. Only limited things he knows comes from movies and T.V. shows.
"Yeah, don't you have any lawyers here.", Flash said as the aliens let him go.
"We solved our lawyer problem a long time ago.", the middle head replied.
"We, however, have to speak for him, if you wish.", the right head added.
"But be aware.", the middle head warned, "If you should loose, you'll share the same penalty as the accused."
"Same penalty?", Flash repeated wide-eyed, "You mean...?"
His eyes trailed to John's bonds.
"That's crazy!", the hero protested.
"No, that's how we solved our lawyer problem.", the middle head replied.
Problem? Right now, Danny is thinking these three head-people are the problem. But Danny held his tongue. Flash has a handle on this, sort-of, and he didn't want to make things even worse for the guy.
"What's you answer?", the middle head prodded.
Danny saw Green Lantern muttered something to Flash, probably telling him to not do it. Flash looked to be arguing back, probably said something snarky, or sarcastic in true Flash manner.
"I'll defend him!", Flash declared.
"Very well, proceed.", the middle head instructed.
Flash looked unsure on what to do next but covered it up with a cough and clearing his throat.
"Right, sure."
He walked forward a stepped on the same platform the Prosecutor was on earlier.
"But first I'd like to say a few words about... about Habeas Corbus. Yeah, Habeas Corbus!", Flash declared, although sounded hesitant at first, he collected himself well.
Hawkgirl face palmed, but Danny thought he was doing well for not having a career in law.
It honestly reminded Danny of Jazz; he should go back and visit her on his next break. Unless, he manages to convince his parents to let him do online schooling.
He's starting to like that idea more and more as times passes.
Honestly that would be so much more helpful for him, Danny honestly didn't know why he didn't think of it earlier.
An image of those two appeared in his mind as if in answer.
Right, didn't want to leave them.
Flashes voice drew Danny out of his thoughts, but honestly, the rubbish he was sprouting made Danny want to facepalm to. And he was doing so well in the beginning too.
Hawkgirl poked at his side and once she got Danny's attention, discreetly nodded at the empty bench, that was once filled with Green Lanterns, down below them.
Danny nodded in understanding and the two got up and snuck out of the trial room.
The two didn't have to walk for very long, finding themselves in what looked like to be a food court, like the ones you'd find at the mall. Except, you know, from outer space.
Danny spotted the Green Lanterns first, nudging Hawkgirl and nodding his head in their direction. She nodded and the two walked towards the table, Danny let Hawkgirl take the lead, she knew more than him when it came to aliens and space.
He intended to learn everything with her, J'onn, John, and Superman around, having traveled and/or lived there before.
"Why aren't you at the trial?", Hawkgirl demanded.
The orb like alien scoffed, waving the two off, "We couldn't stand it anymore."
"John Stewart made us all look bad.", one that looked the most human except with long ears, and large canines stated bitterly before taking a big gulp of his drink.
"So, you'd just abandon him?", Danny asked quietly in shock, eyes glazed over as certain memories made themselves known.
"What of the loyalty of the Lantern corp?", Hawkgirl stated coolly in agreement.
"Don't get so high and mighty Lady, kid, if you two are smart, you'll both stay away from him too.", the orb alien said condescendingly.
Who here is acting high and mighty again? Danny's eyebrow twitched, and no one noticed how his green eyes were glowing brighter at their words.
"Otherwise, you'll be reeking in his stench.", the pointed eared Lantern agreed.
Hawkgirl smashed her mace down, scattering their food all across the table, much to their shock.
"Cowards!", she shouts at them.
She went for a swing at the pointed eared Lantern that just spoke, his ring flashed, and he just managed to create a shield in front of himself as Hawkgirl's mace struck down.
Now, Danny could always stop her. But he thought that these Lanterns deserved it and need some sense beaten into them. Hawkgirl seems to be happy to oblige, who is he to stop her? Plus, it'll be fun to watch.
She shoved the orb alien, knocking him and his chair over with a loud clatter, garnering the attention of all who were in the food court.
Danny stood supportively behind Hawkgirl, arms crossed, as she stared down the Lanterns that were all on their feet, rings activated and a green aura surrounding each respectively, much like ghosts.
"My friends, please!", shouts a small blue turtle-tentacle alien, he slid between the two groups, "No weapons! No weapons!"
"You think I need this mace to take you down?", Hawkgirl said challengingly as she tossed the mace to the side, causing it to crash into a column, staying put.
The small alien whimpered and ran away from the obvious fight that was about to occur.
"Want me to leave you to it?", Danny asked, the Lanterns stared at him oddly at the sound of the echo from his voice, seemingly to finally take in oddity of the floating glowing teenager that is obviously not alien, nor nt quite human either.
In their viewpoint at least.
And Danny honestly had multiple reasons for staying out of this fight, despite low-key wanting to join in.
These guys deserved it, Hawkgirl obviously needed to blow off some steam, and he honestly wanted to watch the show known as Hawkgirl's wrath.
"Please.", was her simple answer.
With that, Danny floated high in the air, close to the ceiling, in order to watch without being affected by the fight. Mostly affected at least. He can't enjoy the show if he's dragged into it.
The orb lantern growled. Hawkgirl just flexed her pointer finger in a come here motion smugly. The pointed eared Lantern was happy to oblige, lunging towards the female warrior.
He swung for Hawkgirl, who ducked and returned with an upper-cut, punch to the gut, and then another at the jaw. The Lantern stumbled, but Hawkgirl didn't let him regain his bearings, striking another mighty upper-cut that sent him flying and landing roughly on top of his table.
Hawkgirl blew on her fist cockily as the Lantern's gathered around their comrade, who groaned, slowly lifting his head from the table. A large pink, hippo Lantern stayed in his seat and drank from his cup casually. The other Lanterns lunged at Hawkgirl at the same time in order to try and take her out.
Danny scoffed to himself, yeah good luck with that.
She swatted the orb Lantern aside, but was tackled by the orange fish-like Lantern who was followed closely behind...
Danny honestly had no idea how to describe the last looking lantern that followed the fight.
Hawkgirl kicked the Lantern off of her, causing him to crash into the restaurant's sign, and he crashed back to the ground. The last Lantern dove for her, but she lifted him up and threw him at the orange fish Lantern.
The orb Lantern leaped at Hawkgirl while the pointed eared Lantern ran from behind both coming from opposite directions. Hawkgirl ducked, the orb Lantern flew over her head, and the pointed eared Lantern just barely managed to dodge him to.
From behind the sitting Lantern caught his comrade before he could crash through the window behind him.
The pointed eared Lantern turned just in time to meet Hawkgirl's fist.
He crashed through the window just as the hippo looking Lantern set the orb Lantern down on the table.
With a battle cry, the fish Lantern tried to tackle her, but she punched him to the side, the last Lantern followed, only to receive a punch to the gut, tossing him over head and tumbled across the floor.
The orb Lantern leapt at Hawkgirl again, but she caught him, flew up and threw him, he bounced across the room like a pin ball, crashing on top of one the tables just as its occupants scattered, barely missing the pointed eared Lantern that reentered the area.
He growled, and lunged, only to be met face first with a green wall.
"No more!", cried the hippo Lantern, his voice deep, and sort of echoed, but not like Danny's, "Hawkgirl's right. John Stewart's one of us, and I'm going to help him."
Danny flew down, and floated right next to Hawkgirl just as the Lantern strode past purposely.
He turns to Hawkgirl with a big smile, "That's the Green Lantern Corps I was taught and told about."
Hawkgirl gave the ghost teen a small smile, retrieved her mace and flew after the Lantern, with Danny, a wide hopeful grin on his face, close behind.
The two flying to where the trial was occurring.
Well, they were.
…...
Danny was quick and silent to follow Hawkgirl's lead, putting on the golden spacesuit as instructed, fly inside and opened a hatch to let Hawkgirl in, in order to pilot the spacecraft, and listened carefully to her instructions on what buttons to press and switches to flip in certain situations.
He was, unsurprisingly, very enthusiastic of the lesson.
The ghost teen stood behind her, hanging on tightly to the back of Hawkgirl's chair, wondering why they were following a yellow ship and where they were going?
He didn't have to wait long for his silent questions to be answered. There, at the moon of Ajuris-4, the same yellow ship that they have been following, was firing at two people on the moon, most likely Superman and Martian Manhunter judging by the matching suits they, Danny, and Hawkgirl were all wearing.
Hawkgirl snarled and sped after the ship, as Danny raced around the ship was quickly pressing the exact buttons and flipping up certain switches and controls, just as Hawkgirl instructed earlier.
"Weapons and Targeting systems are online Hawkgirl!", he called.
His answer was the beeping of the targeting system and the loud blast when Hawkgirl fired at the ship. Successfully hitting the engine, causing the ship and its pilot to spiral out of control.
Danny ran to the front to see a golden blur smash through the bottom of the ship and exit the top, with another person in their grip, by the same method, just as the rest of the ship exploded. Danny had no doubts that was Superman.
"Where are they?", Hawkgirl asks, scanning the surface of the moon for their friends.
The halfa was grateful for his enhanced vision as he pointed down to a crater down below.
"Over there!"
Hawkgirl listened, and carefully landed the ship right next to the three figures, two gold and gray, one silver and blue.
The top hatch opened and Danny flew out, with Hawkgirl right behind him the two rejoined, Danny remained afloat of course when Hawkgirl landed, with the others.
"We followed him from Ajuris-5.", Hawkgirl explained, "We had to borrow one of their defense ships."
"So, he's behind all this?", Superman questioned, gesturing to the kneeling Kanjar-Ro.
"Not exactly.", Danny answered.
The two waited for an explanation, but Danny turned to Hawkgirl, he couldn't quite put together all of the details, so he turned to Hawkgirl, who was all too ready to explain.
…...
Panicked, Danny flew as fast as he could, heading straight for the exact spot he entered in before when they first found the trial. He turned intangible, flying through the glass, heard Superman smash through the glass behind him not long after.
"Stop!", he hears the Kryptonian shout behind him.
Danny stayed intangible, went through the guards, through the dome, learned his lesson from the Invasion and didn't breathe as he entered, not once feeling the repercussions of the act, but it did feel weird and awkward being able to not breathe and not have his lungs feel like they're on fire.
He quickly spotted the prone bodies of Flash and Green Lantern, hoping her wasn't too late, he grabbed the back of their suits, turning them intangible as well, and flew out of the dome, the people gasped at the sight. Danny flew down set the two men gently on the platform, barely taking note of the knocked-out guards thanks to Superman.
The two coughed and slowly got back to their feet, Superman helped up Green Lantern while Danny helped up Flash, who was rubbing his, no doubt, soar head.
"Thanks kid.", Flash muttered.
And, surprisingly, Danny wasn't even bothered being called that for once. It felt more like a nickname of endearment than a tittle that downgraded his importance and usefulness.
So, he smiled back at the speedster.
"How dare you!?", the middle head declared, outrage, while Superman used his heat vision to free Green Lantern.
"John's innocent!", Superman declare, turning back to the heads.
Danny didn't notice Superman speak to Hawkgirl through the comms, but Danny was just so relieved that he got to Green Lantern and Flash in time, that they were still alive, he couldn't really concentrate on what he said.
But he practically already knew.
As if on cue, most of the asteroid field in the window disappeared and Ajuris-4 appeared.
Multiple gasps and exclamation of shock rippled through the crowd and the Prosecutor gaped in surprise.
"Ajuris-4 was never destroyed, it's right where it always was.", Superman explained, "It was all an illusion, a frame up, as they say on my planet."
"It's why the moon stayed where it was.", Danny explained, glad to finally have an explanation to something seemingly so insignificant bother him as much as it did.
Green Lantern must have been in shock, because his eyes were searching the cool metal floors as he slowly came to terms that, no, he wasn't responsible for the deaths of three billion people, and that, yes, Kanjar-Ro, did indeed lie.
His eyes widened, then narrowed in anger at the sight of the space pirate.
"YOU!", Green Lantern snarls before tackling the Kanjar-Ro, who yelped in surprise.
Martian Manhunter was shocked by the sudden action as he taken a couple steps back from it.
"Why'd you do this to me!?", demanded Green Lantern, his voice deeper and sounded husky from his anger, "Why!?"
"For... for money.", Kanjar-Ro answered.
"WHO'S MONEY!?"
"The Man-Hunter's.", the pirate answered, voice trembling in fear.
Danny turned around, looking for the metal men, the Man Hunters, that took John before.
He saw none. Which sent a shot of terror through the ghost, who had much experience to hide it well.
"Come on!", shouts Superman.
Him, Martian Manhunter, and Danny flew off to catch the Manhunters.
They all raced to the Manhunter's headquarters only to find it empty, with only four robed little blue-skinned men with white hair and wearing the Green Lantern Symbol.
He landed next the Green Lantern, blocking off their path. They need more answers.
"Where are the Manhunters?", Green Lantern asked.
"They went back to Oa.", the head answered.
"'Back to Oa'", Green Lantern said in confusion, "They've been there before?"
"Yes. We created them there."
"You did what?", exclaimed Flash.
"Why?", Danny asks, tilting his head curiously.
"It was before the Lantern Corps.", he explained, looking regretful, "We thought robots would make good peace keepers, but they were flawed. They couldn't understand the subtle gradations between good and evil."
"Why didn't you recommission them?", Superman asked.
"We programed them for lesser duties.", the leader replied, "Tracking, hunting, guarding. They didn't seem to object."
Danny couldn't help the sarcastic snort that left him.
Green Lantern agreed.
"Not out loud anyway.", he said dryly.
…...
The moment Danny and the others approached Oa, it was a warzone. The Manhunters were tearing Lantern Corps apart.
"They can't stop us brothers! No one can!", one of the Manhunters shout as they all turned their attention to attacking them.
Having no reservation, and having much experience fighting robots thanks to his past fights with Skulker and Technus, Danny shot several ectoblasts, tearing apart the Manhunters.
It was utter chaos, but so was spending time in the ghost zone, or just his life in general. Even before he turned into a halfa his life was a chaotic mess thanks to his parents.
So, he adapted quickly, he bobbed and weaved through the robots, destroying many with his ectoblasts.
Suddenly, Danny heard the sound of moving machinery, he turned to see one of the temple's giant cannons shoot at Green Lantern, Superman, and Martian Manhunter.
A giant explosion shook the area, and Danny had to throw up a ghost shield to protect himself from flying debris and aftermath of the explosion.
Smoke cleared away to reveal that Green Lantern had protected them just in time.
Needing to take the cannon out, but wasn't sure if he was allowed to destroy it, Danny's eyes and hands glowed blue as he flew to the cannon, and a great big beam of bright blue light exited his hands and incased the entire canon in ghost ice. No longer functional, but will be once Danny wills the ice to melt after the battle.
With the cannon out of the way, the Manhunters continued to fire at the group, and Danny went back to the same pattern as before.
Dodge. Weave. Shoot. Dive. Intangible. Shoot. Shoot. Shoot. Dodge. Dive. Shoot. Shoot. Weave. Repeat.
He heard a shout behind him and just managed to turn and catch Flash before he falls down the side of the Lantern Corps Headquarters. Danny looked up to see several blue lasers heading towards their defenseless forms, only for Green Lantern to land in front of them, and created a shield.
But it was under such heavy fire, that holes were starting to appear, Green Lantern began to sweat, and just when Danny thought the shield would drop and they would be done for. Several rays of green light blasted the Manhunters.
Danny turned around to see Hawkgirl, along with the Green Lanterns from the trial flying in, joining the fight.
After helping Flash back to his feet, Danny waved enthusiastically to the group, a loud gleeful laugh escaping lips.
"Glad you guys could join us!", Danny shouts to them happily, before saying the next part to himself, "Now we're talking."
With the groups combined efforts; multiple cannons were out of commission.
Danny's hands and eyes glowed blue again, and he began to freeze over the giant weapons. While simultaneously freezing and smashing any Manhunter that try to attack him or anyone else if they need the help.
Suddenly Danny's hands stopped glowing, his eyes turned back to green, and he whirled around to the part of the Headquarters where the giant stream of green light was coming, to see the top of the building on fire.
And he could hear a loud scream that would most likely join his nightmares and haunt his dreams for a while.
A giant being consumed in green light, burst from the roof.
Danny could only assume the scream came from this... thing, when it got the power to become whatever it is.
Just as Danny was preparing to fight this, whatever this thing is, it began to melt and fall back into the building it burst from.
The column of light was gone before for a second before it bursts up, a shadow of a face with it.
"NNNNnnnnnoooooo!", came the cry, sounding almost similar to Danny's ghostly wail, but instead of bringing terror, it brought relief.
Fireworks shot from the blast and the entire area was covered in an ethereal light.
The thing was gone, all the Manhunters have all been destroyed, and, despite the fires and destruction, Lantern Corps was at peace once again.
"Now that was something else.", Danny said breathlessly at the sight.
…...
Danny floated next to Superman, staring at the wreckage from the aftermath of the battle.
"So, how was it?", Superman suddenly asked.
Danny looked at the Man of Steel in confusion, having no idea what he meant.
He tilted his head and asked, "How was what?"
"Your first time in space. You said at one point you always wanted to travel in space before we left, so, how was it?"
Danny looked on, a thoughtful look on his face, before a small smile appeared on his face along with a shining glint in his eye that Superman notices he gets when talking about space. He was honestly a fanboy when it came to the subject, and it amused Superman to no end.
"It was both everything, and nothing, that I've ever dreamed about.", Danny answered, then chuckled, "When we took that ship when following Kanjar-Ro, Hawkgirl was explaining me the controls or anything I needed to do in case of anything while she piloted the ship. I almost couldn't remember what she told me; I was so excited to help man an alien space ship."
Superman chuckled, patting the halfa on the back as Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, and Flashed joined them, as they all waited for Green Lantern, who was talking with the other Lanterns from the Corps.
It was a short conversation, for a couple of seconds later, he joined the rest of the group.
"Are you alright John?", J'onn asked.
John thought to himself for a moment before answering, "You believed in me, even when I didn't believe in myself."
"Hey what are friends for?", Flash said with a soft smile, hand on Green Lantern's shoulder.
Green Lantern returned the smile, causing Flash's smile to turn into a wide grin.
Danny smiled too as he took in the sight of the two friends, and went over their adventure together.
I'm sorry, the evidence, people have seen you do it. There's a picture on the internet. I thought you just let the power get to your head! Look I'm sorry, okay? I should've known better, it's just hard to think your friend didn't rob a store when there's physical evidence.
So this is what it's like. This is what true friends are like, what Valerie meant when she said she would always stick by me, why Jazz meant when she said I would find the right people.
What true friends are supposed to be like.
Green Lantern held up his brightly glowing ring.
"Let's go home."
They were all encased in an orb of Green Lantern's light, as he flew them all back to where the jet was, so they could fly back to Earth.
…...
With a sigh, Danny entered the house, in his human form of course, leaning against the closed front door with a sigh.
"Danny! Where were you?", Jack, Danny's father exclaimed.
Maddie, Danny's mother added worriedly, "Where have you been. You left no note, your father and I had no idea what to think. For a minute, we thought you ran away, but you didn't take anything and I just-!"
Danny motioned for her to calm down.
"Look, I'm sorry Mom, but I need you to calm down, when did you and Dad get home?", Danny questioned, already prepare with how he wanted this to go.
"About thirty minutes ago.", Maddie answered.
"You must have just missed me.", Danny sighed, running his hands through his hair, "I went on a walk to clear my head, I had a lot on my mind and needed to sort some things out."
Maddie and Jack shared a look, Jack placing a reassuring hand on his wife's shoulders before turning back to Danny.
"What sort of things?", Jack answered, not sounding like the clumsy oaf he usually is.
"I... I think I want to switch to online learning. Be homeschooled.", Danny states, quickly rushing forward to get all he wanted to say out in the open for fear of being interrupted and shut down.
"I've been stressed a lot, and as you already know, I'm just barely passing my junior year of high school. Heck I barely passed my freshman and sophomore year too.
And if I ever want to get where I want to be in life, I need to bring up my grades. And I think the best way to do that may be online learning. I can use my laptop, and if I get restless, I can go to wherever I need to in order to learn and study better without getting into trouble like I would in class.", Danny explained in a rush, but managed to slow enough so his parents could understand him, "You wouldn't even need to be in the house, continue your research, and if your too loud, I could always leave and go to a quitter place."
He rubbed the back of his neck and sighed again, "I'm just... not really working well in school. I just want to succeed and make you guys proud. And I feel like the best way to learn for me, is by doing it on my own, working at my own pace. Like what I did when with Astronomy and Space. I feel like it's the best way for me to be successful in life."
Danny released a big breath of air, but kept his eyes on the floor as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. Too anxious to what his parents were thinking to even look at them.
Then he felt a pair of arms slowly wrap around him.
"Oh honey...", Maddie cooed as she embraced her son.
Jack walked over and wrapped his large arms around the two as well.
"We'll get right on it son. I'll sign you out of school while your mother signs you up for online classes, alright?", Jack said softly.
Danny couldn't help the quiet sniffles as tears prickled the corner of his eyes, he was just so happy they said yes. A giant weight felt like it was just lifted from his shoulders, because this just made hiding his double life, along with the added duties as being a part of the Justice league, so much easier.
