AN: Ok, wow, didn't expect such a good response so soon so I'm updating quickly but I also felt the need to respond to a few things… Tenuem told me that I made it seem like Phantom is separate from Danny. I didn't mean for it come across like that. Danny is still very out of it so his speech is a little out there in the first chapter. The cartoon showed things like Danny being separated into both Fenton and Phantom was possible but it always ended badly, I was trying to show that they can't be separated, Danny is half ghost, he does things that aren't human like and they come from his ghost side, like instincts and urges but killing one or hurting one side harms the other. He refers to Phantom as the ghost side.. I hope you guys understand what I'm trying to get at and as I write I hope I can explain it clearly.

So far you guys like the Batman/Black Canary thing so great, I'll maybe start building it in the next chapter. As for Danny, Pandemi said Stargirl… my knowledge of the DC universe mostly comes from the Batfamily and young justice I have no idea who she is or if she's even YJ. A guest asked and the mantle of Robin was carried by 5 people, Dick, Jason, Tim, Stephanie Brown (short while) and Damian. He also trained Batgirl and Spoiler and then there Black Bat but I don't know if he trained her she was already very good. There were others but they are the core family but Danny isn't one of Batman's protégés, currently Dick Grayson is Robin. I honestly believe that Batman could be a good father like figure to him but Black Canary is going to be his mentor like person, she never took on a protégé as far as I know also remember he isn't going to be on the team or join the League just yet.

I don't like Megan/Miss Martian not at all, in YJ S1 she wasn't so bad, kind of naïve and happy go lucky and I thought the relationship between her and SB was cute but in S2 she became this jealous person who didn't want SB to move on even though she moved on with La'gaan after trying to mind rape him. She got better with abusing her powers but I don't think they should have gotten back together, what she did, shouldn't be forgiven, I see it as she violated him kind of like actual rape, she went into his mind without permission and tried to change his memories, if it were real and happened to me I wouldn't be able to trust her ever again so I won't pair her with Danny, I might not even pair her with SB, I don't think she deserves him. In the Teen Titans (not much knowledge I preferred Young Justice) he was paired with Wondergirl, I think I'm gonna go in that direction.

Supergirl wasn't seen either not even in the teaser for S3, Rose Wilson don't know much about her, Batgirl has that on and off again thing with Dick Grayson but Thea Queen, she isn't seen in the YJ universe but I can work with her. I know her from the TV show Arrow and I could in theory pair them together- still open to suggestions.

Chapter 2

When Danny awoke completely aware he was confused. He remembered the utter panic when Clockwork came and told him that Dan had escaped and for a little while revenge wasn't on his mind, all he wanted to do was sate his hunger for destruction. He attacked some random places at first, spreading mass chaos and panic until Danny was able to get him into the Ghost Zone. Then he was fighting him and Vlad appeared and then he was getting his ass kicked because he refused to let his friends anywhere near Dan, just too dangerous to put them in front of him.

He remembered Clockwork and his whole 'Time out' thing and then the thermos, Clockwork put him inside and it seemed like forever and then a lady let him out. She was pretty he realized, she had long blonde hair and pretty brown eyes but she wore something weird, and then there was a large guy in black, he also radiated safety and a sort of stay back feeling but it wasn't cruel more like it was a warning not to get close and hurt him. There was also the big guy that felt like the sun and he sent shivers up his spine, they kept him in an infirmary not to dissect him but trying to help him. There had been a boy here too, the boy was happy, his aura was safe and he was trying to anchor him to the living realm because there was nothing here. Why was there nothing here? What happened to his home?

"You are awake?"

Danny's mouth dropped, it was a robot, a red robot was talking to him. The robot handed him some papers dated almost 10 years into the future and there was a large stack.

"Batman has kept these here for you to try and understand our world and where you are. There is a laptop next to the papers so you can do your own research. There is also the thermos that you were sent to us in beside you. I am Red Tornado, a member of the Justice League, the others are seeing to a crisis on Earth, they will return shortly."

Danny put the paper down and picked up the thermos, he hit the button, twisted the bottom three times and it came off. Tucker devised it so they could pass messages with the thermos after a few too many lies to keep his secret that didn't add up. If Danny went missing for too long, they would send him the thermos and equipment when they found him along with whatever they told his parents to keep his secret so he knew what was going on back home. After a while it was just a good place to hide things and pass secret messages when they wanted too.

One of Clockworks medallions was inside and when he picked it up a hologram appeared, he was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice he had an audience, Batman, Black Canary, Flash, Wonder Woman and Superman had all returned and were checking in on their patient.

"Daniel, I am so sorry to do this to you, I know you would have preferred that I didn't but you need to understand that this isn't your fault, its mine. I failed you, I once told you that the observant's wanted you gone before you could lose your family and go insane. We stopped that future from happening but you defeated Dan in your timeline and I saved your family, when the future rewrote itself there was no-where left for him to return too as such he existed outside of time. That all went according to my plans however Vlad was never meant to find out about him, as Dan was no longer bound by time I couldn't see him or what his actions would do to the time line, I created my own blind spot. I was so sure everything was going according to plan that when he was released I was left scrambling to save our universe and I couldn't.

You know the rule, if the balance is upset then the scale must reset itself. This universe is over, finished, lost, I don't know if I'll even be reborn or what will happen to us but you must live. I sent you to another universe where you will be able to start again. You have always had a greater destiny to live up to and in whichever world you are in I wish you nothing but the best. We all need you to live Daniel, for as long as you live then so do we, our memory lives with you. Find happiness and a family, you of all people know that family isn't blood, its bonds. I am sorry that you are alone but I know that the people you are with will not abandon you, they are good people, that is all I know and I believe you will be safe. Remember do not mourn for the dead, life is only precious because time is short and then there is the afterlife to look forward too. Goodbye Danny."

The boy cried and Black Canary couldn't help but go to him and put him close to her as the fifteen year old boy cried and mourned for everything that he had lost. He cried himself to sleep and they left him once more, the boy was exhausted and they knew what the second message contained, nothing dangerous, just a personal goodbye and an apology for leaving him all alone.

When Danny woke up again, he was still sad but he was also determined to know what was going on around him so he read the papers first, they all spoke of heroes and aliens, Danny was shocked at that and then he noticed that the technology was years ahead of anything that he had seen, some kind of similar to his parents tech and they were thought to have the best weapons, almost decades ahead of anyone else in the field. Then he took to the laptop and typed in Justice League and figured out that even though this was Earth, the cities weren't even named the same.

He spent hours looking through the history and while it was all vastly different he knew he could trust them and then he also noticed that while there was magic, aliens and meta humans there were no ghosts here and when he concentrated he knew that there was no Ghost Zone, but the air was charged with ectoplasm, it was invisible but he was already pulling it to him, feeding his ghost side.

Flash walked into the infirmary and then he stopped dead as the kid seemingly drew some green goo out of the air and then he ate it.

"What is that?" he whispered but the boy heard him.

"Its ectoplasm, its present here unlike in my universe where it was mostly condensed in the zone there is no concentration of it. It just exists, wherever there is life, there is ectoplasm."

Black Canary watched the boy, "Are you eating it?"

The boy cocked his head like a puppy, "Ectoplasm is an energy source, its also what ghosts are supposed to be formed from and what runs in our body, similar to blood. I don't need much food only water and ectoplasm recharges my energy and heals my wounds, pure ectoplasm like this its like a five course meal, very good for me."

Batman seemed interested in the goo, "Energy source? Could it be adapted to power normal technology?"

The boy just nodded, "You just need the proper filter. Ectoplasm cannot be destroyed, you can reuse it as much as you want as long as its filtered right so it doesn't explode."

"Are you saying it can be a renewable energy source?" asked Batman.

Danny nodded, "My home ran off it."

Wonder Woman's eyes widened, "Could it be possible to use this to source of energy here? To harness it as a clean energy source that will not cause pollution?"

Danny nodded at her, "In theory, but you have to make sure it doesn't over heat and explode, it can take out a large area if there is enough power. The designs my parents made weren't perfect, they mainly focused on weapons to hunt ghosts."

Batman's eyes narrowed, "These weapons could harm humans?"

Danny shook his head, "Ectoplasm in its pure form doesn't hurt humans, maybe a light burn or it could just be a pain to come off but to hurt a human it has to be exposed to other energy like electricity, most of the weapons they made didn't do anything to humans."

Batman nodded, "We will look into it."

Then Superman walked in and the poor boy nearly dived under the bed which caused many raised eyebrows, "Has Superman harmed you child? Or is he reminding you of someone that did?" asked Wonder Woman.

The boy shook his head and took deep breaths, "I'm sorry it isn't his fault, its mine."

Black Canary narrowed her eyes, had someone much bigger than him harmed him, the thought made her want to claw someone's eyes out, he seemed so innocent, "Why?"

Danny cocked his head at her seemingly understanding that she wanted to protect him, "Not what you're thinking. He is opposite to me, it's strange."

They all seemed confused and the boy sighed, "I have an ice core, it means I am naturally cold, I draw energy from it as well. He draws energy from the sun, near someone like me he is a walking sun, as he radiates solar energy. My opposite, I can eventually become accustomed to it but I never met someone like that, it will take some time to be able to block out his energy from interfering with mine."

Superman seemed relieved that Danny didn't hate him or would be afraid of him rather they were biologically different. He admitted that he sensed the cold aura the boy had and it was weird for him as well. The Leaguers introduced themselves to him and Danny spoke of his world and how it was different. They did so slowly at first, he broke down a few times when talking of his friends and parents but eventually they had run out of questions.

Danny had met Robin many times and found the boy to be funny. He reminded him a bit of Tucker with his intelligence however it was obvious that while he was very good at working with technology he wasn't a techno-geek at least not like his friend. The two boys played around with the ectoplasm a bit, while Danny tried to remake his parents filter. This world seemed to be much further ahead of his world by at least two decades, this world was looking towards renewable energy sources as they were running the world supply of non-renewable resource low. Danny was trying to get the filter stable and safe so that it wouldn't explode and cause mass damage when it over heated, that really was the only problem with this type of energy, it wasn't as stable as other energy sources.

Robin told him about the heroes and the villains, filling him in on how this world worked both politically and covered almost everything else he had questions in. Danny hadn't changed into his ghost form for nearly a month and currently he was walking around the Watchtower trying to find something to do. Robin was school and Batman was still currently making up an identity for him. Danny had been keeping busy trying not to think of everything he had lost and he knew Dinah had been helping him. She was trained as a psychologist and she had been having sessions with him however while Danny was still mourning for everything that he had lost he had also come to terms with the fact that this was something that he could not have predicted.

The first time the GIW tried something like this, Danny had been sure that they wouldn't launch the nuke not after he told them what the consequences would be. When he had been fighting Dan and Vlad at the same time, the battle was not going well, the two hadn't even teamed up it had been a three way fight in the Ghost Zone and they had destroyed a huge chunk of the place. The thought of the GIW doing something so stupid never crossed his mind, not even he could figure out how he could have stopped something like this. Tucker was always keeping an eye on the GIW and what they were doing, they built in a system that would warn them if they were planning anything about the Ghost Zone or Phantom and they never got an alert. This was something that no one could have planned for and while he did miss them so much he was still spinning from learning everything in this universe. He spent nights crying his heart out, and now he just felt empty.

There were bonds to both Batman, Dinah and Robin grounding his ghost side to the living realm and he did mother hen them a bit and he was constantly told that as soon as they had an identity for him he would be going down to Earth. When he wasn't crying or learning he watched the stars. He was actually in space, his life-long dream, he managed it. Now all he was feeling was an itch to do something to take out some anger, to blow of some steam and then he found a training room.

He grinned, finally something that he could do, he didn't turn into Phantom while he did have the energy he didn't want to waste it too much, Phantom was mainly powered by purpose and here he was kind of lacking in that much, he wanted to see how much of his powers he could access in his human form.

Batman, Black Canary and many other Leaguers watched the boy and they were impressed.

"His style is sloppy, self-taught but he his highly adaptable and very powerful." Commented Wonder Woman.

"He has good instincts." Voiced Superman.

"He is definitely above the level of the others. He has too much experience but not enough training." Replied Batman.

Black Canary nodded, "I could teach him and they could learn from him."

Wonder Woman entered the training room, turning the training dummies off. "Would you spar with me?" she asked him and he grinned brightly at her.

She smiled and shook her head, "Not with your powers, it is obvious you have many, I would like to see your skills."

Danny smiled at her shyly, he had seen some of her fights on YouTube and she was amazing, "I'm not very good without them. I learned to fight with only my powers, then I had to learn to control them as they came."

Black Canary and Batman also walked in, "You didn't get all your powers at the same time?"

Danny shook his head, he never told them how he did what he did just what had happened, "When I first came out of the portal I only had three powers, flying, intangible and invisible. I healed faster and had a little super strength but as time went by I got more, I learned to shoot ectoblasts and then I realized that I could mold the ectoplasm into shields or weapons, like a sword or knife. Duplication was hard, I couldn't always make the copies perfect, sometimes they had extra eyes or hands or feet instead of hands and I couldn't make as many as Vlad and then I got my ice powers with the ice came a low level of empathy and then there's the usual ability to sense life, oh and the ghostly wail, I don't use that one much its very destructive and tiring."

"That's a lot of powers." Muttered Flash and the boy smiled sheepishly.

"Vlad was your enemy but we were told that you were more powerful than him but you couldn't do the same thing as him?" Said Superman. He still kept some space between them but Danny was able to slowly block out the energy that he radiated.

Danny wanted to get defensive because they were cross examining him but then he realized he was being an idiot, they were just confused.

"Vlad had all the same powers that I did but he had a fire core. He could manipulate electricity and fuse it with his ectoblasts but he didn't have the same raw power that I did. I was more powerful in terms of raw power but Vlad had perfected his powers. 20 years of experience using his powers on my couple months. I knew we could do the same thing just not the how, it took practice to be able to master my powers. The first three months and I was falling through floors, turning invisible when I didn't want too or floating while I was asleep. I also had more powers than him technically. All he had extra was the electricity which he fused with his ectoplasm to make it stronger, I could possibly develop my empathy abilities more and become a telepath but I didn't know how without hurting anyone. I didn't wanna dig around my friends minds and somehow hurt them."

Martian Manhunter put a hand on his shoulder, "If you are willing I can help you develop your empathy, I could feel your ability and while not strong there is potential to develop it further."

Danny smiled brightly at him and nodded and then Batman asked, "Ability to sense life?"

Danny blushed, bright red, "I know if a lady has given birth."

Several eyebrows were raised and he hastily explained, "Ghosts know where there is life, we always do, we are drawn to the living world, we know where there are large populations and we know when they are approaching death. The ability to feel a persons soul you could say but with a woman when she carries a baby and gives birth to that baby, she brings life and nurtures a soul. The baby leaves a mark on her, I just know. I can also tell when a person is slipping from this world into the next, a warning that this person is dying."

Several people didn't know what to make of that but it wasn't really anything bad so they let it go and went back to the topic at hand, "Your fighting style is self-taught, I would like to see what you have learned."

Danny got his ass kicked, but he managed to hit back with some strange moves that were obviously learned mid battle. He was good and he learned quickly watching as his opponent fought and learning from her as he defended himself. Dinah called out some encouragements as well as some advice and he also listened well. He took to heart any advice given and tried and to use it to the best of his ability. They were impressed however his large array of powers would probably put him up there with Superman.

Batman and Black Canary were talking, he had been able to come up with a background for him, they didn't want anyone to know that he came from a different universe. His powers could always be explained as him being a meta human or an alien but they really didn't want to bring too much attention to him, having powers here was more or less normal. However they were discussing where they were going to take him, Dinah insisted that he come with her to her apartment, when he went back to Earth he would no longer be able to avoid everything that he had lost, he would need her to help him through his depression but Robin had really bonded to the boy. He wanted to take him home to the manor where Dick would be able to relate to him better as they were both orphans.

"Why don't you pack a bag and stay a few nights with me?"

Dinah was actually shocked, Batman letting her into his sanctuary, he nodded, "We both know he has become used to both of us. He might need your help but he also needs Robin, something familiar and someone who understands what its like to lose everything. You can always zeta back home if you really need too."

Well, she couldn't fault his logic so she agreed, just a few days with the Dark Knight and Boy Wonder until he was a little more settled.
