One Of JLD See Them Do This And Just Go - Tumblr Posts
Feels like it should be common knowledge that you don't ask the dead how they've died especially considering the fact that in their eyes he might be from Gotham and that means a very traumatic death, also he flinches and that ain't strong enough of a hint? Wtf
DPxDC Prompt
Phantom is new to the Justice League, not much is known about him, except ONE thing.
That he's dead. A ghost.
It is pretty heartbreaking to think about, especially for heroes. But also, they can't help but be curious. How did the kid die…
Danny has to walk away the first time he's asked, he flinches the next time, the third time he has had enough. He says the first scenario that comes to mind, it works, it gets the hero to leave him alone, even if they went strangely pale.
Next several times he's asked he does the same, recites the first thing that comes to mind, a different thing every time. When the heroes go ghost white, deathly quiet or excuse themselves? well they shouldn't have asked in Danny's opinion!
What he doesn't realize is he has been reciting the heroes own near death experiences back to them, which is why each and every one of them has backed off after getting their answer.
