Dp x dc prompt: dead on main angst
This prompt starts with Jason and Danny being childhood friends. Danny had lived in crime alley with Jason because, at the time, the Fentons were broke due to Jack and Maddie's constant ghostly escapades.
They were best friends. Nearly inseperable. Until Jason is adopted by Bruce and the Fentons get funding and move. Jason and Danny keep in touch, though, until Jason dies. Then Danny later dies. They never meet in the gz.
Years later, after all the Redhood stuff, Jason is introduced to the latest member of the Justice League, King Phantom. King Phantom is a tall and kind man. Being the king of the dead naturally causes a bit of a deadly aura, but the look of death in his eyes said a lot about him. He was lonely, mourned every step he took, and when he looked at Redhood, it was like he was reading his very soul. His long flowing hair added a natural shroud to his tired face. His clothing hangs loose, making him movements look almost like water with the way the drapery of his armor dragged with him.
Apperently, the guy joined after the loss of his hometown. He didn't like the Justice League (that won a few points in Hood's book), more like he tolerated them with a grim understanding that they are the greatest form of protection he can offer his people.
He was such a fascinating being, yet he rarely stuck around long enough for questions. That is, until Redhood started staying with him. At first, they sat in silence. They didn't need to talk. Phantom just seemed to find another undead man comforting. Phantom only started talking when he noticed Redhood brought a book once. "That was my best friend's favorite book," was all he said, with a saddened smile. "Sounds like a cool guy, anyone who reads Jane Austen is a cool person in my book," Redhood responded, earning him a grim chuckle.
The next time they met Redhood asked, "who was your friend?" Phantom gave him a wistful look, "Jason. He, uh, died a long time ago. Never got the chance to go to his funeral before I died, too. Lucky fucker got eternal rest, all I got was eternal unrest."
That's when it hit Redhood. That's why Phantom's voice felt so familiar. All he could do was nod and sit back into an uneasy silence. Danny. His best friend. Someone he thought had forgotten him, so he forgot him in turn. Was sitting in front of him. King of the dead, stuck in eternal mourning for a lives lost and one life brought back. He said Redhood was lucky, and looking at the man now lost in his own magic thoughts, he couldn't help but think that maybe he was.

A/N - Take that angst bit where you want! Just a swift generic prompt to pump out for fun.
Side note: im not tagging anymore dp x dc prompts under the main tags of Danny Phantom, DP, DC, or DC comics. I've heard there's been a bit of an over saturation of Dp x Dc on those tags, and not everyone enjoys crossovers like this. God knows there's characters I despise due to their oversaturation. So all prompts will now be marked under the main dp x dc tag, and Danny Phantom crossover, dp crossover, dc crossover, dc comics crossover.
