This au again lawl. Where Danny wears these special sunglasses to hide his eyes that also track down ghosts in his human form.
The Justice League tracks down a summoning for the ghost king, an eons old tyrant of the infinite realms and known to bring war and devastation whenever he is summoned.
The cultists do manage to summon the ghost king, except, not how they wanted. They did indeed summon the king, but Pariah Dark is still trapped in eternal sleep and somehow, just, somehow, they managed to draw the lottery and dragged the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep to the summoning circle.
So there the Justice League were, wondering what to do with the (currently) locked away and sleeping ghost king.
Until Constantine's coat flipped itself open and a boy with glowing white hair and a mist of blue blowing from his mouth.
"Old man." The boy greeted.
"Brat." Constantine said.
"Do you mind explaining why and how this," The boy gestured to the Sarcophagus. "Is here and not in Pariah's Keep?"
"Funny story, that one." Constantine said, only half-jokingly. He then went on to explain that the Justice League came to track down cultists, said cultists somehow managed to drag that here, and now they didn't quite know what to do with it.
The boy stood still for a moment, before taking off his sunglasses to pinch the bridge of his nose and sighed, a large amount of blue flame spilling from his mouth. "Ancients above, why is it every time something notable happens, it's always you?"
Constantine snorted, reaching into his coat for a pack of cigarettes and lighting himself one. "Hypocritical coming from you."
"I know, but still." The boy walked over to the Sarcophagus and sat on it, as if it wasn't the thing currently holding one of the most powerful ghosts in the infinite realms. "You know smoking is bad for you, right?"
"What, you learned that in class?" Constantine snarked, making no move to do anything and causing the boy to sigh again, toxic green eyes looked around the room, falling over each hero present before homing in on Flash. The boy pointed to him. "You. Come here."
"Whatcha want with red?" Constantine asked and the boy simply shrugged his shoulders. "Passing on a message."
The boy blinked once, and if he was surprised that the Flash was already in front of him, then he didn't show it. He reached into his pocket, pulled out a green sticky not, motioned for Flash to bent down and stuck it on his forehead.
Superman was... concerned. There was a heartbeat there, he could hear it, but it was so slow and seemed rather weak, like the boy was near death.
"Alright, now I gotta get old mean and green back to his keep before the Observants get on my case." The boy put back on his sunglasses and got up, waving Flash away and lifting up the Sarcophagus above his head he walked over to Constantine, whose face wrinkled.
"That ain't going to fit." The warlock pointed out and the boy scoffed, probably rolling his eyes behind his glasses. "And you've fit bigger things, just shut up and lift the coat old man."
Constantine did so, and somehow the boy just shoved the entire Sarcophagus inside. The boy was very obviously smug as the blue mist that was blowing from his mouth the entire time petered out. "I'll clean up the mess on my end," The boy said before waving his hand in the Justice League's general direction. "You deal with all that."
"Just get going already, I'm not about to get those sentient eyeballs on my ass."
"Yea, yea. You got enough to deal with as is." The boy then stepped inside Constantine's cloak and as soon as the man let it drop, he disappeared.
Constantine looked around the room, silently assessing the situation as he brought another cigarette to his lips.
He lamented the fact he would have to deal with this sober.

"I need to find my darling husband!" Said Danny, dressed to the nines in a very elaborate royal dress with a lot of jewelry running through the ballroom after having been on the opposite end of a very worrying phone call.
"Seriously, what do you even see in that mortal!?" Screamed an observant and Danny stopped and leveled them with a glare cold enough to freeze over an active volcano and sharp enough to cut through obsidian.
"He makes me laugh."
Unlike those dead suitors went unsaid, but everyone at the ball (read: search for a bride/groom for the royal ghostling) practically heard it anyways.
Meanwhile over in the land of the living
Okay so Jason may have messed up. Now you see, he hasn't seen his platonic husband for tax benefits in a while, and he's been very careful to not let his identity as the Red Hood slip up before . Not even once in their relationship.
(He's not counting the time his in-laws sniffed him out as a Crime Lord, because Danny never believed them.)
Now, it wasn't exactly his fault he slipped up. You try to fight off an entire group after being pulled up on out of nowhere on the phone while trying to hide said noises of fighting.
Who was he calling? Danny of course since he said he was away for business. What business? Never specified and Jason wasn't going to pry.
So now here he was, bound 'helplessly' as Jason Todd along with a few other random civilians. Which, like, rude.
Wasn't he already good enough for this ancient ritual or whatever?
You know, he really should have walked with that "Anti-kidnapping device" he got that one time. Which honestly he feels like he should be surprised that such a thing exists but considering it was from Bruce. Well.
He's not surprised.
Oh, there's the Justice League now. Shame, he wanted to knock out a few guys himself- Oh, now he's being used to summon a ghost from the Infinite Realms of Royal Lineage.
Yea he probably should have walked with that "Anti-kidnapping device."
Wait a goddamn-
Is that-
"My darling husband!" Danny shouted, scooping him off the circle and away from the head cultist and swinging him around. "You had me worried sick!"
Now, he should ask the question anyone would in this situation when finding out your best friend and platonic husband for tax benefits was apparently a ghost of royal lineage.
"Why're you in a dress?"
"Okay, first of all I rock this thing." Danny huffed.
"That you do." Jason agreed rather easily.
"Second of all, blame those guys over there." He jerked his head in the direction of two very green floating eyeball people.
Not the weirdest he's seen, honestly.
The Observants were whispering to each other and leveling them-Jason in particular-a look.
"Now as you can see, I already have a spouse and I don't need another!" Danny hugged Jason closer for emphasis and he took the time to whisper in Danny's ear. "Did you really marry me to play the husband card?"
"Well, yes." Danny agreed. "But also because of taxes, because I love you and you're my best friend."
"So, we're still done for watching that movie right."
"Obviously."
A pained grunt came from below them and they both looked down to see Batman standing over a very unconscious cultist and looking up at them.
Hm.
He forgot they were there.
"So," Jason began, staring Bruce straight in the eyes. Batman's eyes narrowed. "Don't suppose we can push that forward to right now?"
"Yea, sure why not I'm not doing anything important." Danny leveled the Observants a look, and before either they, Batman, or the Justice League could do anything they both disappeared.

Thinking about my Eastern dragon Danny and Phoenix Vlad au, and its making me think about how they would and do classify as meta BUT.
It would be far too funny if it were in the form of rumors.
Like, some say that they saw the reclusive CEO of Vladco having wings, some point out that the area around him is warmer, some point out that he has a feather on his suit that wasn't previously there or something.
Then bring in his nephew and it's like they swear they can see him blowing mist out of his mouth at random points, others that they swore they saw scales, maybe even saw him with a tail at some point and that it's pretty cold around him.
Either or, I'm not the best at creating rumors.
Anyways, so eventually there's this mystery surrounding the two, even more because Vlad Masters was known to be a recluse, and now there's a possibility of the two being metas?
Of course, that just draws the reporters to flock towards them for the potential scoop. A few articles are already there, speculating what sort of meta they could be and why they're hiding it.
(Oh right, Danny ain't Ghost King or Prince here, and Vlad ain't the Duke he's just a bir- I mean a Phoenix.)
Danny? Well, Danny keeps trying to get Vlad to slip the hell up because he's a little shit like that, and Vlad is flapping between+ amused and about to burn a bitch, depending on what Danny's does to be honest.
Of course, both are aware of said rumors, don't care for them, but decide to make it a game to see which of the two slips up first.
How does he even get Danny to these events in the first place?
Pure bribery.
Anything ranging from gaming consoles to money, to food, to an actual house (Which Danny said as a joke but Vlad said bet) with a pool.
The power of bribery is a powerful thing, and is one of Vlad's more favored tools.
Anyways, Lois Lane wants a scoop, and what better way to get one than to approach the reclusive Vlad Masters to ask a few questions?

The Ghost King Danny Head Cannon
Except I'm taking it and making so that he never becomes the ghost king like, ever.
Pariah Dark -the first ghost- is and forever will be the Ghost King.
Now now settle down people and let me continue.
Danny, by defeating Pariah Dark is recognized by Pariah as the Ghost Prince.
Basically, it's just:
Pariah Dark after stepping out the coffin: The fuck is this skinny as kid in a mech doing here.
Pariah Dark when he got pushed back in the coffin: Y'know, I've always wanted an heir.
So, Danny doesn't get an increase in power, he just gets a fancy title and (maybe) some political power.
As long as Pariah Dark still exists, he would still hold the position of Ghost King, doesn't matter how many times he's been beaten.
It's basically like:
Random guy1: Oh, you fought the king and won?
Random guy2: yea does this mean I'm king now?
1: Dafuq? No, you dumbass the king is still king
2: But whyyy
1: Because the King's been around for a long time and until he kicks the bucket he ain't handing that position over any time soon. Even then it would go to the crown prince/princess.
So, with Danny being the only prince of the Ghost Zone, he's the Crown Prince so therefore, when Pariah finally kicks the bucket (which won't ever happen) he gets to be king.
For now, he's just a prince (without knowing).
