After Many Dates Danny and Angelica
"Surprised to see me punk" Walker asked
"Honestly" Danny answered "yeah you don't seem like the type of guy to wear jewelry"
Walker grit his teeth at his quip the ring on his hand glowed before a yellow blast shot out nailing Danny in the stomach knocking the wind out of him "even bone tired you're still a smart mouth with your quips punk"
Danny grinned "what can I say Walker I'm a kid of many talents" Danny quipped Walker frowned looking away from Danny to Jessica who was looking afraid in Walkers presence without her power ring
"You were certainly a surprise to see a Green Lantern" he mocked stepping closer to her cell "don't you Greens know that aiding and abetting a criminal is against the rules"
Jessica gulped "pretty sure cosplaying as one of Gothams most wanted is against the rules too"
Walker phased into Jessicas cell his ring glowed a yellow sword inches away from her neck "I make the rules around here Green" Walker said darkly the blade pressing slowly against her neck Jessica looked wide eyed with fear sweat beginning to fall down her forehead as it began to break the skin
"Leave her alone" Danny shouted "I'm the one you've got a beef with not her"
Walker looked back to Danny before he nodded dispelling the knife Walker stepped away from Jessica stepping out of the cell he smirked evilly
"You're right punk you've been breaking the rules a lot longer than the Green punk" Walker sneered at Danny "but not for long" Walker laughed vanishing in a cloud of yellow smoke once Danny was sure he was gone Danny looked to Jessica who had started to hyperventilate during the time
"Are you ok" Danny asked concerned Jessica didn't answer for a minute before she nodded
"What did you do to get that guy so ticked off with you" she asked
"I 'broke the rules' which the dunce in yellow makes up as he goes along" Danny answered Jessica nodded still looking afraid "so how long have you been a Green lantern" he asked changing the subject away from Walker
"Since July" she answered "still I've got no idea why the heck the ring picked me"
Danny raised an eyebrow was the ring alive or something
"Whenever a Green Lantern retires or dies the AI in the ring finds someone with great willpower and the ability to fight fear" Jessica explained when Danny asked how it worked
"It's a fight to get out of bed in the morning to leave my apartment to go around the corner and grab a pizza with my boyfriend why'd I think I could be a superhero" she said Danny wasn't sure if she was talking to him anymore or to herself
"Heck first time I get into a fight with a supervillain I get a real superhero captured by a dirty cop from the Sinestro corps ring"
She looked away from him looking like she was getting ready to cry "the first time I fought one of my enemies my best friend ended up being held prisoner in a pile of meat because I couldn't stay powered up" Danny said remembering how terrible his first real fight with a ghost had gone
"The next few fights after didn't go much better" Danny vividly remembered how he'd almost been wasted by Skulker Technus or Desiree and especially if Vlad had decided to get serious the first time they fought Danny wouldn't be here right now
"Really" Jessica asked sounding skeptical
Danny nodded "scouts honor" Danny promised seeing the doubt in her eyes "look Jessica I'm not an expert on alien AI's but if the ring chose you than it had a reason" he told her "even if you can't see it yet it's there"
In another part of the 'prison' two of Walkers guards were standing guard by Jessica's green lantern ring one of the guards yawned bored "this is a dull job we should've just stayed at the prison"
The other guard nodded "hey at least we'll be able to see the ghost punk finally get what's coming to him" he said smiling evilly the other guard grinned too
"Yeah I suppose that'll be worth the wait to see in person" the first guard agreed before they heard a crash behind them the two guards turned pointing their night sticks towards the source of the sound there was a cat with cream colored fur standing in front of the knocked over stand that was ring had been standing on
The two guards put down their night sticks and let out a relieved sigh
The cat stood there watching them for a second before he walked off
"Guess we got some excitement" one guard said before going over to pick up the stand and the ring
"Hey where's the ring" he asked
"It's gotta be somewhere" the other guard said
But no matter how much they looked they couldn't find any sign of the ring not even as much as a speck of green anywhere
"What's going on in here" Bullet demanded storming into the room hearing the commotion the two guards were making looking for the ring The two rose up standing at attention "Bullet sir the Green Lantern ring we confiscated is gone it disappeared"
Bullet frowned "you go tell Walker looks like we're moving up the Ghost Punks execution or else he's going to end up escaping again"
Walker teleported in front of Dannys cell a grin on his face "where's the ring punk" Walker demanded grabbing him by the collar
"Is this a trick question" Danny asked cluelessly not having a clue what Walker was talking about "cause it's obviously on your finger"
Walker held him tighter clearly not liking that answer "I was taking my time figuring out how I wanted to execute you punk the best way to send a message to make sure no one tries to break the rules again"
Walker grinned dropping Danny before he could hit the ground Danny was restrained on his knees in a glowing yellow guillotine with Walker holding up the rope "any last words punk" Danny didn't answer he was focused instead on a familiar cat behind Walker with a green ring in its mouth 'good cat' he thought while smiling cheekily at Walker
"Yeah look behind you"
Walker rolled his eyes "oh please that's the oldest trick in the book"
A green sledgehammer hit him in the back of the head knocking him to the side the guillotine vanished Danny stood up "I tried to warn you Walker"
Danny quipped "I'm going ghost" he said powering up he threw a punch at Walkers face sending him flying out of the cell where Jessica hit him with another blast Walker made a shield around himself blocking the attack
Walker growled pulling his arm back the dome flew back with him than with a punch it flew back transforming into a ball of fire Danny's eyes glowed blue as he stomped his foot making a dome of ice around him and Jessica the dome hissed sounding like a tea kettle when the fire hit but it held strong through the dome Danny could see a yellow silhouette dive down at them
Danny flew back with Jessica as Walker crashed through the the dome with yellow brass knuckles he scowled at them before shooting a ghost ray out of his eyes that hit Danny in the chest sending him flying down the hall
"Danny" Jessica cried out before Walker grabbed her by the head throwing her behind him "stay out of this Green you'll live longer" he sneered before Walker teleported above Danny "can't say the same about you punk"
Danny was on his stomach trying to push himself back onto his feet but walker stomped down pushing him face first into the floor
"As warden judge executioner jury executioner and when necessary executioner of the Ghost Zone I sentence you Danny Phantom to a quick and hopefully painful execution"
'I get the feeling this guy did the executioner part way more than necessary' Jessica thought as she watched the creep in yellow Walker pinning Danny down underneath his boot
She had to do something she couldn't just stand here and do nothing
Than in a flash the memory of a yellow knife pressed against her neck breaking into the skin flashed in her mind was enough to make her scared out of her skin and her heart to start beating faster
"If the ring chose you than it had a reason even if you can't see it yet it's there" Danny's words from earlier came back to her
Here was a guy who she'd never met before today who had a maniac who wanted to off him for what was probably a moronic reason having been up constantly for who knows how long and he was taking the time to cheer her up to tell her about why she could be a hero
Jessica didn't have a lot of faith in people she'd been born and raised in Gotham before the incident most people didn't go out of their way to help people
Most people weren't Batman or Captain America or Superman
Most people would have seen her getting harassed by that Dash guy or held at knifepoint by Walker and would have wrote it off as not their problem
But Danny Fenton didn't
Ignoring the voice in the back of her head screaming at her to run away Jessica got up "In brightest day in blackest night no evil shall escape my sight" Jessica muttered holding her hand up the ring on her hand glowed brighter
Walker turned to look at her with a raised eyebrow "I thought I told you to stay down Green" he said turning he made a construct of the Phantasam completely yellow without a costume to put it in "guess we're having a double execution" he said as the Phantasam construct flew at her
"Let those who worship evils might beware my power" Jessica continued ignoring Walkers threats ignoring the glowing yellow copy of one of the guy who almost took down one of Jessicas personal heroes "GREEN LANTERNS LIGHT" Jessica shouted putting all of her willpower into her ring releasing a massive blast hitting the Phantasam construct point blank
Jessica watched first as the construct made of Fears yellow light disintegrated before the beam flew through the hallway hitting Walker sending face first Walker flew back going through the wall with a satisfying crash than another another and another
Danny pushed himself up onto his feet dusting himself off he smiled at her he looked like roadkill but he was still smiling "I told you so" he said Jessica nodded
"Yeah" Jessica said sounding a little drained she barely noticed when Meowth climbed to his usual perch on her shoulder "you did"
The two walked through the walls on the way Danny grabbing what looked like a fancy thermos and a headpiece that were just sitting on a table they kept going until the found an unconscious Walker out of his Sinestro corps uniform wearing an old fashioned white suit
"Freeze punks" two ghosts dressed like cops said pointing staffs that to Jessica looked like the weapons the predecessors of the corps the Manhunters carried behind them was a shirtless purple ghost dressed kind of like a pirate
Danny just pointed his thermos at them and fired trapping the two ghost cops inside the thermos the third ghost teleported away Danny pointed the thermos at Walker and trapped him inside of it closing the lid
He than tossed the thermos to Jessica who was quick to catch it "what's this for" she asked
Danny shrugged "the Sinestro corps are the Green lanterns enemies I figure they've got ways to hold the ones they catch" Danny answered slash asked Jessica nodded Danny looked relieved "good I do not want to deal with Walker and his new evil bling on a daily basis" Danny said and honestly who could blame him
The two teenaged superheroes and one cat walked through the prison on the lookout for more ghosts just in case while they made their way to the roof Danny smiled to Jessica "Thanks for all the help" he said
Jessica nodded "you'd do the same for me" she replied with a tired shrug "and have twice"
"Consider us even" Danny nodded holding back a yawn he looked ready to pass out
Meowth nudged her cheek with his paw "meow" he meowed before he leapt over landing on Danny's shoulder nudging his cheek
Oh right the message
"I'm sorry to drop this on you after everything you've gone through this week but I came to Amity Park for a reason" Jessica said holding up her ring "earlier I got this message from another Green Lantern a message about you"
Danny looked confused obviously trying to figure out why a Green Lantern would be sending a message about him "what's it about"
"Just watch" Jessica said booting up the message a hologram appeared of an Ectonurite with one arm longer than the other and hunched back dressed in a ripped and burned Green Lantern uniform with a black hood covering the top part of his face bony face his ring on his shorter arm held near his face
"This is Green Lantern Jac'Ko with an urgent distress call to any Lanterns in Space Sector 2814
I have encountered a hostile lifeform of unknown origins armed with what I believe to be Class 12 technology perhaps higher-"
Jac'Ko stops talking for a second as he let out a wheezing cough holding his side he breathed heavily for a second before he continues the message
"He calls himself the Exorcist
I fought him briefly and my sorry state is the result of that fight I barely managed to get away
I didn't go away completely empty handed
I learned he plans to go to a planet in Sector 2814 called Earth
He is after a lifeform who lives on that planet
A lifeform named Danny Phantom-"
Jac'Ko hears something out of view and frowns "he found me"
Jac'Ko looks urgently at the screen
"To any Green Lantern who gets his message go to Earth find Danny Phantom and warn him warn him before it's too late"
"It already is too late" a different voice says Jac'Ko looks shocked before he gets ready for a fight a scythe appears in his hands
"Green Lanterns Light"
The message ends there and Danny frowns looking up at the stars to Jessica "what happened after that"
"We don't know the message was the last thing that he did before his ring had to look for a new bearer" Jessica answered gravely Danny frowned
"I'm sorry" was all he said
Yeah Jessica was too she didn't know Green Lantern Jac'Ko but she'd been to his funeral she'd listened to the eulogies from Kilowog from Max Tennyson and the Guardians
He'd been a Green Lantern for fifty years longer than she'd been alive and he was taken out so easily and the guy who did it
He was coming to Earth
Anna Boscarelli a woman with red hair that was just beginning to grey dressed in a simple blue top and gray pants walked into her kitchen grabbing a glass she filled it water turning off the tap she swirled her cup around taking a sip
"Are you just going to lurk in the shadows all night or are you going to come out and talk Bruce"
Out of the shadows silently stepped Batman instead of being shocked or surprised at the appearance of one of the founding members of the Justice League in her home Anna just eyed him up and down "hmm not too bad it's certainly an improvement over the old costume" she said
"Something I'm not too sure I can say about you Andi" he said harshly pulling out a picture of the Phantasam that was supposedly sighted Anna frowned
"Do you really have that low an opinion of me Bruce" Anna Boscarelli formerly Andrea Beaumont snarled at the accusation "I have nothing to do with the 'Phantasam' sightings in Amity Park I'd never target a kid"
Anna had done a lot of things when she was Andrea in the name of her revenge but she could say she never went after someone who wasn't part of her fathers murder or kept getting in her way
"I'm aware a member of the Sinestro Corps is on route to Oa he was arrested in Amity Park" he told her
Of course all the Green Lanterns were part of the Justice League so if she'd already been written off as a suspect why was he here they hadn't been in the same room since the Gothams World Fair
Twelve
Years
Ago
"How long have you known" she asked coldly
"Long enough why didn't you tell me" Bruce asked angry and genuinely hurt
"Why so you could dress her up as another Robin or would she be Batgirl" Anna retorted back just as angry "maybe she'd get to be Batwoman your wife isn't using the name anymore"
Yeah Bruce certainly had a type didn't he there was her and than there was his wife Kathy Wayne Nee Duquense a mobsters daughter who dressed up in a bat suit to get revenge against her mobster dad for getting her mother killed
Given Bruces actual history of being attracted to women in costumes maybe Batgirl was his daughter with Catwoman
"I would never force someone to do what I do certainly not my daughter" Bruce said getting in her space glaring at her "was keeping Nicole a secret your way to spite me"
Anna opened her mouth it'd be so easy to say yes to hurt him that way if she were a stronger person she would "after that night I wanted nothing more than to disappear to never set foot in Gotham if I'd stayed I would have never stopped and you would have kept stopping me until we ended up hating each other we would have ended up destroying each other"
"That doesn't answer my question"
Anna sighed "when I found out I was carrying Nicole I was terrified I couldn't see anything beyond getting revenge against the people who took my father than nine months later this helpless little girl was put in my arms and my whole world changed" she began to explain tears forming in the corners of her eyes
"All that mattered was her just like my dad said the most important thing in the world is family"
Bruce just stood there silently like a statue his body language unreadable so she just kept on going
"I was afraid of what would happen if I told you afraid of going back to Gotham of that sweet innocent little girl being turned into something obsessive and full of nothing but hate"
"Like me" Bruce asked the anger from before was gone from his voice
"No like me" she answered
Bruce continued to watch her silently before he nodded "Robins parents were murdered in front of him he needed to be a part of the investigation to bring their killer to justice"
"So that he'd become like you" Andrea wondered
"So that he wouldn't" Anna nodded in understanding from what she'd seen of the original Robin on the news with the Teen Titans he was nothing like the worst parts of Bruce
"I took Batgirl under my wing because I knew she was determined to fight crime with or without me not so I trained her the same with the second Robin he wanted to do something good for the city that had failed him"
Anna nodded the two of them staring into each others eyes for a moment before Anna looked away "I'll talk to Nicole over the weekend tell her about Bruce Wayne the two of you can get to know each other" she said "but only Bruce Wayne and she's not setting a foot in Gotham"
Anna turned back expecting Bruce to have done his disappearing trick but instead he was still there "Wayne Enterprises has some investments in the area it wouldn't be too out shocking if Bruce Wayne were to make a surprise visit" he said before turning away walking towards the shadows
"The Joker is currently on his way to Belle Reve prison" he said "King Barlowe pretended to leave him his fortune so to inherit Joker sued to be legally sane"
"Good riddance" was all Anna said finishing her water she put the cup away she looked away for a second and Bruce was gone
Anna wiped a tear away from her eye before she left the kitchen
Man what a night she thought
Back in her apartment in her bed Jessica was tired Meowth laying on her stomach she didn't know what was harder about tonight passing along the warning to Danny or telling her parents that she beat her first supervillain and had her first team up
Definitely the first one her parents were cool with her being in the corps sure they were worried and wanted to whack Walker with a baseball bat but they were cool with it
Jessica turned her head to look at a framed picture by her phone of herself with a small smile on her face as she had her arm over the shoulder of handsome asian boy with caucasian features and way too much hair gel in his hair sure it looked cute but still it was way too much
Reaching over she grabbed her phone picking up the phone she called "hey Jess what's up"
"Not much I had a long day and I was thinking about you" she answered "want to hang out this weekend"
"Yeah I just got to do some stuff at Gramps Saturday but we can do whatever" Jake answered
He and Jess talked for a few more minutes before Jake had to go something about helping his Grandpa in the back room Jessica hung up and sighed a smile on her face as she pat Meowth on his favorite spot slowly going to sleep
It's been a long long night
Sorry for the delay things were a bit crazy on Monday so now you know whose dating Jake in this universe along with a few other things like the Exorcist
He is an original character I've wanted to use since the beginning of Danny and Angelica I brainstormed on him for a long time his powers his origin his appearance everything and I think I have something really cool and I hope you like his entrance
By cryptically taking out a Green Lantern
Another character I wanted to use for a long time was the Phantasam the actual one not just a construct and I made her the mother of All Grown Up character Nicole
So to recap other stuff
Walker and Joker are on their way to prison (the Sciencells on Oa and Belle Reve respectfully) thanks King Barlowe your last laugh gave me a good way to get rid of the clown prince of crime without just siccing Wade on him
How come none of the other authors have done that I've got no idea
Other than that Bruce is married to Kathy Duquense AKA one of the three people who played Batwoman in Mystery of the Batwoman
That about covers everything happy November everyone
Stay Safe
And like always
