That’s not your medicine? - DC X DP prompt
Another idea I can't work on because time isn't on my favor.
Slightly inspired by this post.
Years have passed by, and the ecto-acts were never repelled. Time has gone by, and Danny’s Jason's husband. Jason, friends and the family have noticed that Danny isn’t human but don’t bring it up because Danny seems terrified every time the subject seems to be about to be brought up (Yes, even Bruce wasn't able to question Danny. How would he? He tried to bring it up once and he was sure Danny was going to faint right then and there).
The married couple had been living happily for years and the family adores Danny. Danny has some health issues. Fatigueness, muscle pain, random dizziness, fevers that seem to come out of nowhere. Apparently it is a chronic issue, since Jason caught Danny taking some red pills early in their marriage. Jason didn’t recognize the medicine's name, something Blossom, so he imagined it was something specific to his species.
One day a ghost faces into his house asking Danny for help, and of course Danny basically has a full on panic attack at being outed. Jason holds him close, grounds him and lets him calm down.
The ghost tells Danny that they need to do some errands in the human world, but the GIW has become way more active around the area he needs to visit, and needs to know how Danny has managed to hide so far. The conversation goes somewhat like this:
“I’m sorry, I don’t think you would want to do what I do. Even if you do, I’m not sure you can.”
“Please just tell me, I’ll decide if I want it by myself.”
Danny sights. He disappears for a moment in their bedroom and comes back with his medicine. He opens the bottle and inclines it to let the ghost see.
The ghost looks into the bottle and is absolutely horrorized.
“Danny, you- you’re poisoning your core!”
“What do you mean poison?” Jason asks, alarmed “Isn’t this your medicine?”
Danny won’t meet his face.
“How can you be consuming this!? How long-”
“I don’t have any other options, okay!? I can’t run into the infinite realms and hide like the rest of you! I have to reside on this side of the veil!” Danny snaps at the ghost.
“But this… you must be in excruciating pain.”
“It’s not as bad, I’ve gotten used to it, and I actually get to have a life now. You know, without the GIW in my back.”
