Close enough, welcome back Phantom!!

Dpxdc

You know those comments " close enough, welcome back ____". Ok so hear me out.

Imagine an edit on tiktok of green lantern being badass, saving the day, compilation of the best fights and he throwing jokes while ending a villain. And then someone commented   "close enough, welcome back Phantom".

And the next thing people know, the internet was full of Phantom edits. All the videos are clearly old, of poor quality and could easily pass as fake, but as time goes on, more and more videos appear, All posted by different accounts. Of course, this only served to make everyone curious.

Obviously people are confused and the answers they were getting just weren't helpful at all. The explanations range from "retired small town hero" to "the greatest hero to ever walk this earth."; from "He didn't retire, he was assassinated by the American government" to "He would easily finish off Superman".

And It was when someone posted a video with the caption "List of Phantom rogues who would end Superman:..." with no other explanation that things got out of control. It goes without saying that this started a fan war.

By the end of the week, the only things the general public knew were: 1. Phantom was a (teen??) ghost hero that protected humans from other ghosts and ghosts of humans, apparently; 2. He protected a small town in nowhere, Illinois; 3. That he had disappeared without explanation.

And that is not worrying at all.

I'll probably add something else later, but for now that's it.

(Please correct me if you find any glaring errors; writing in English stresses me out on another level.)

No no no no no I love this idea

Cuz I'm imagining him getting fucking captured instead of killed ofc. Imagine phantom still in an fucking government facility cuz I love evil GIW. Locked up. Maybe in a thermos if he's lucky and not getting cut open. Cryo? Depending on how long it's been. I could see this being very angsty and fun ahhaah

[re4l-life-npc]

This could totally work too, with Team Phantom using videos as a way to win over the public, the rest of the inhabitants of Amity Park helped without even knowing it.

When Danny was captured by GIW, the Phantom team tried to rescue him several times. Despite freeing other ghosts —and causing significant damage to the agency—, they were unable to save him. Repeated rescue attempts led GIW to frequently change Danny's location, a successful measure to prevent further raids.

Then the first Phantom edit was posted. That's when they had a brilliant idea: to gain mass support, discredit GIW and the government, and draw, to the agency, as much attention as possible.

Sam and Wes produced several videos showcasing statistics, proving how Phantom was a good hero, with minimal collateral damage—even in the first year—compared to other heroes. In those, they demonstrated how every time a hunter interfered, the situation worsened, or how the GIW's actions transformed collateral damage, from damage to property, into damage to people.

Meanwhile, the residents of Amity Park continued posting videos of Phantom acting in a relaxed and friendly manner, showcasing his acts of heroism and peaceful interactions with other ghosts and residents.

In one of the videos:

Phantom appears at night In a park alongside a boy of about 10 years old. In front of them is a telescope. Phantom excitedly points to different constellations, names them, and tells the story behind them.

After several minutes, the child asks:

"How do you know all that?"

"When I was a child I wanted to be an astronaut" Phantom replies wistfully.

On his face, there is a sad smile. The child, oblivious to the change in the hero's expression, continues:

"And you don't want to be an astronaut anymore?"

Phantom simply smiles again.

Without an answer, the child insists.

"Is it cause you can't be an astronaut anymore… is it cause you're not alive anymore?"

A low gasp is heard from the boy's mother, and a tone of reproach as she calls his name.

Phantom freezes for a second before responding

"It's all right. Now I can fly to the moon and watch the stars without the city lights."

This time, a sob escapes the boy's mother.

With each video, the audience grew and became more attached to the image of Danny presented to them and, with that, more worried.

It didn't take even a month for the internet bubble to burst and articles began to be published.

Some tried to explain to the "chronically offline" who Phantom was, what GIW was, and what had supposedly happened to the missing hero. Others questioned how all of this had gone unnoticed by the Justice League

It was becoming increasingly clear how real the situation was.

That's when the second stage of the plan began: a systematic leak of all the information about GIW that they had collected over the years. Experiment records, mission reports, locations of active and deactivated bases, names and photos of field agents and scientists, even politicians involved in the initiative.

In the following days, chaos took over both the internet and the real world. Experts analyzed the documents, all the media outlets had already reported on it— It was safe to say that all citizens of the United States knew what was happening.

And in response to the incessant demands, the Justice League finally spoke out, making it clear that they were already investigating the matter.

However, Team Phantom had no intention of waiting. Tucker had finally tracked Danny's location. They would be damned if they waited for Justice League.

— Okay, Red Huntress, we're live.

[re4l-life-npc]

Suddenly, all television went dark, followed by static. After a couple of seconds, a symbol appeared: a green Eye of Horus. Then, the symbol changed from green to red, shifting from the Eye of Horus to the Eye of Ra.

"Red Huntress, we are live," a male voice says as soon as the image of someone in a red suit and helmet appears.

"Well, good evening, United States citizens. We apologize for interrupting your daily programs, but we can no longer let the crimes committed by your government go unnoticed, and since nobody os doing anything to change this, we will...

I believe by now, most of you have already heard of Amity Park and Phantom, since we dropped all those documents. A rumor of Phantom being captured by the government agency called the GIW has been circling around. I'm here to tell you that's not just a rumor. My team and I have been tracking the GIW's movements in an attempt to find Phantom. And we finally did. This is a live transmission of our mission to save him."

"From now on, we will change the camera to Red Huntress. We recommend taking the kids out of the room for this part. God knows what we're gonna find. Red, Amaranth, guards changing in a minute."

The screen split in two: one side showed Red's body camera footage, and the other showed a drone image of three cars heading towards a complex.

"Okay, getting in position."

"I'm already here, just waiting for your command."

Through the drone image, two red figures appeared beside the road, hidden from the cars in the vegetation. Amaranth was a couple of meters in front of Red Huntress.

"Last car just passed, Red. Your turn, Amaranth."

The hooded figure stepped in front of the cars and, with a wave of his hand, roots sprouted from the ground, blocking the road and preventing the convoy from advancing. Red Huntress advanced towards the cars, cutting off their retreat. Without an escape route, officers exited the vehicles, and a chaotic scene ensued. Fast-moving Red Huntress could be seen from the body camera, incapacitating agent after agent with frightening precision, while the drone footage showed Amaranth using roots and vines to immobilize the agents. The entire action lasted less than ten minutes; it seemed to have been taken straight out of an action movie. In the end, all the occupants of the three cars had been immobilized.

If foxes are dogs, then so are wolves, coyotes, dingoes, jackals, and several other extant and extinct species.

Danny has a problem. He is a protective spirit. Which means he has to protect people or he will slowly drive himself insane. But he doesn’t want to be used for his strength. The solution? Become a fake oracle for Clockwork.

He can warn people of things that shouldn’t happen therefore saving them. Somehow Clockwork agrees and Danny is sent out.

The Justice league hears about him and his accurate prophecies and goes to investigate. They find out the work is going to end if they don’t convince the Ghost king to help them defeat one of his old enemies. They just have to find him.

Danny knows Clockwork is laughing. Now he has to pretend to be a human while leading them to find his own alter ego.

[akemi2003]

Danny had a problem.

Being a protective spirit wasn’t optional — it was what he was. If he didn’t protect someone, anyone, the magic that made him would twist inward, driving him toward madness. But people had a way of taking advantage of protectors. They’d use him for his strength, his foresight, his willingness to throw himself in front of danger.

Danny Fenton had done that dance before. He wasn’t doing it again.

So when Clockwork, Master of Time and perpetual enigma, offered him a loophole, Danny took it.

A fake oracle — that was the plan. He’d pose as a human seer blessed by some mysterious patron. He’d warn people of what shouldn’t happen — a bridge collapse here, a monster attack there — fixing the timeline and satisfying his need to protect without revealing his true nature.

It worked beautifully. Too beautifully.

Word spread of the “Oracle of the Clock.” His predictions were too accurate, his knowledge too deep. Even the Justice League started paying attention. And when the League learned that the world was on the verge of annihilation by an ancient ghostly enemy — one that could only be stopped with the help of the elusive Ghost King — they came seeking his guidance.

They didn’t realize they were already talking to him.

Now Danny has to lead the world’s greatest heroes on a hunt for… himself.

He has to keep up the act, play the part of the cryptic prophet, and somehow save the world without letting anyone know he’s the very being they’re desperate to find.

Meanwhile, Clockwork, as always, is laughing in the background.

—————-

The old church sat at the edge of nowhere — a crooked shape against the fog, its bell tower long since fallen silent. Inside, candlelight flickered across rows of shattered pews and half-burnt clocks that ticked out of sync.

Danny liked the noise. The uneven rhythm reminded him that time wasn’t as linear as people thought. Clockwork’s sense of humor had rubbed off on him that way.

He was sitting cross-legged on the floor when the air changed — sharp, electric, too clean. A dimensional ripple. They were here.

He didn’t bother to look up. “You can come in,” he said softly, tracing a sigil into the dust. “You’re not the first to knock on Time’s door.”

The heavy door creaked open. Batman stepped through first, shadows clinging to him like armor. Wonder Woman followed, posture regal but cautious, and then Superman — his presence bright enough to make the candle flames shiver.

Danny smiled faintly. “Let me guess,” he murmured. “The end of the world again?”

They froze, just for a moment. That was always the fun part — watching people realize he already knew.

Batman’s voice cut through the stillness. “You’re the Oracle of the Clock?”

“That’s what they call me.” Danny stood, dusting his jeans off. He looked nothing like a prophet — young, too relaxed, barefoot. The white streak in his black hair glowed faintly in the candlelight, and his green eyes didn’t quite look human when they caught the light wrong. “You can just call me Danny.”

Superman exchanged a glance with Diana. “You’ve predicted five separate disasters this year,” he said. “Each one stopped before it happened. We were hoping you could help us again.”

Danny tilted his head, pretending to think. “Ah, yes. The ghost.”

Diana’s brows furrowed. “You know of it.”

“I know him,” Danny corrected, tone suddenly too knowing, too tired. “Old enemy of the Ghost King. The kind that doesn’t stay buried for long.”

Batman stepped closer, cape whispering against the floor. “We need to find the Ghost King. Can you tell us where he is?”

Danny laughed softly — a sound that wasn’t quite human. “Now, that’s the question, isn’t it?” he said. “But time doesn’t like shortcuts. You’ll have to earn your answers.”

“Can you at least tell us if he’ll help us?” Superman asked.

Danny’s smile faded, and for a moment, the weight of centuries flickered behind his young face. “If you find him,” he said quietly, “tell him that the balance is breaking. Tell him Clockwork warned him this would happen.”

The League traded uneasy looks.

Danny turned away, lighting another candle. “Now go,” he said, voice light again. “The sooner you start looking for your ghost, the sooner I can stop pretending I don’t know where he is.”

None of them caught that last part.

Red Hunters?

Tucker is going with Dannys naming sense and is Red Tracker, Val is of course Red Huntress, Sam would go by Red Slayer or Death Stalker for the goth vibes.

Red Ranger for Jazz maybe? She wanted the positive association with a fictional hero. Its psychology.

[re4l-life-npc]

It was a typo lol. I liked the idea tho.

[seraphichana]

Ahhh I see. I thought it might be like a diplomatic thing, if they said Team Phantom then obviously they are compromised but a separate human team lead by a Ghost Hunter, saying that Ghosts are sentient and upset about the genocide is different cause then they know both sides.

[re4l-life-npc]

Yooo they playing as a third party is a really good idea.

This gave me a bit more inspiration; maybe I'll write a sequel later.
