“Hey, I need to get married for bullshit Infinite Realms reasons, you two in?”
“Tt, of course.”
“Sure thing! Do we need to get going for that like, right now? Or later?”
“Eh, like in a couple of hours? The Observants are demanding some Royal Ball or something and they pulled out some stupid old laws out of their collective asses that if I’m not married by the time it starts they can assign me spouses of their choosing, can you fucking believe that shit?”
“Woah, what the hell? Can they even do that?”
“I was under the impression they were only permitted to observe.”
“Right? It’s total crap, but apparently there’s like this super old law on the books and they didn’t bring it up until now when there’s like no time left to try and force me to marry someone they pick.”
“They are training to gain influence over you?”
“Eh, more like they’re trying to get control of my Dad by way of me. But still fucked as hell.”
“So why do you need to marry both of us? Or do you just need to marry one of us and we should play rock paper scissor for it?”
“Technically I only need to marry one of you, but I don’t want them pulling out any loopholes or something. So, it’d be great if one of you could be my consort for my role as Queen of Mirrors, and one could be my consort for my role as Crown Princess. You two can figure who’s who on that all that, I’m good with whatever.”
“Oooh, can I be consort for the Mirror Court? I can annoy Kon more that way.”
“I am amenable to that. Grandfather will have a fit when he learns that I can cut his access to the Pits off at my discretion and there’s nothing he can do about it.”
“Awesome, okay are you two good for meeting up at like, three? We can pop over to my Lair and get everything sorted out there.”
“Works for me, my only class til this afternoon is at one and the professor already said we’re cutting out early because she has to go out of town this weekend.”
“Four would be more agreeable if possible, I have to take Titus to the vet for his checkup.”
“Okay let’s aim for four then. It’s just signing some paperwork, making some quick blood-slash-ectoplasm pacts and swearing a couple binding oaths… Should only take like five or ten minutes?”
“They’re not gonna make you have a huge royal wedding or anything?”
“Nah. Dad keeps things pretty chill so as long as the paperwork is all in order we’ll be good. Though once Auntie Dorathea finds out she’s absolutely gonna make us have one. She loves planning weddings. Swear its what she makes her hoard out of somehow.”
“So long as we have a say in some of the proceedings I have no issue with that eventuality.”
“Same, it sounds like it’d be a fun way to annoy the Observants even more.”
“Don’t for get all the weirdos trying to be my suitors and all that bullshit.”
“We have an accord then. We can reconvene at the usual place.”
“Awesome, you two are the best! I gotta jet and let everyone know and get the ball rolling on the paperwork stuff. See you guys at four!”
With that, Nomad - Stella Phantom, Crown Princess of the Infinite Realms, Queen of Mirrors, Core of the Speedforce and ghostly hero of the Titans and the Justice League - tore a rip in the fabric of space and time and darted out of the room the same way she came. Through the mind-bending tear in reality the eerie, eye-searing green of the Infinite Realms glowed in all its unsettling glory, Phantom Keep a glittering expanse of night sky made solid in the distance.
Jon waved at her cheerfully as Damian gave a nod of farewell before both silently turned their attention back to their respective tablets as the portal closed behind their friend and teammate and the glimpse of the Ghost Zone disappeared again. Completely unbothered by the conversation just held or the life changing implications that came with them.
Jon was humming as he tapped away at something on the screen before him, Damian propping his head up on his fist in vague boredom as he frowned down at the information he was reading.
The rest of the room Nomad had left behind was caught in a frozen, stunned silence in the wake of the baffling conversation they’d all just been witness to. All eyes in the room darted between Flamebird and Pheonix seated calmly at the end of the table, then to the space where Nomad had disappeared to, back to the young men, and then towards the head of the table where Superman and Batman sat looking bewildered and a bit on the verge of heart attacks.
The short status update meeting was about to become much, much longer it seemed.
Though a lot more entertaining.

Oops.
While learning to control his powers under the guidance of Clockwork, Danny accidentally curses his own bloodline with the Curse of Sentient Food several centuries in the past. Originally, a witch was supposed to curse his family. Oops. Well, the Fentons were always adapting, and technically, either way, he'd end up battling dino nuggets at three am in his underwear, no matter who the curse came from. So he shrugged and continued on.
Unfortunately, this also means that out of nowhere, the timeline shifted, and some of his very distant relatives are now battling their food into submission at every meal because Danny is ultimately way more powerful than some mortal witch from the 1600s. His version of the curse reached literally everyone he could ever be related to for the last few centuries. Even if they were adopted into the family!
So, returning to the present time after training, Danny is a little startled to see some news clips of people's dinners coming to life and beginning revolutions. Wow, John Fentonightingale really got around, didn't he? He felt a little uncomfortable that now all these random people had to deal with their share of Fenton luck, but from some of the interviews, everyone seemed to be handling it pretty well!
Especially his so-distant-they're-on-another-tree cousins, the Kents, who contacted his family directly, asking how best to prepare a zombie turkey. Their son was coming for Thanksgiving with his new wife and some coworkers, and they just refused to make the guests fight for their lives on a holiday!
They invited the Fentons to join them, of course.

JOHN: my dad forbade me to say anything to my nanna about the top surgery thing, and it's just hit me how funny it would be if i got it done and didn't tell her and just waited for her to notice. i mean, what's she gonna say? "didn't you used to have tits?"
JANE: Don't tell her, then get a pair of fake tits afterwards and have them accidentally fall out during family dinner. Bonus points if you can pair it with some sort of comical noise.
JOHN: thoroughly noted. that's hilarious.
JADE: to be fair you... probably didnt have tits most of your life? "didnt you used to..." "oh yeah we reverted that feature based on user feedback!"
JANE: In fact, when Jake had top surgery, as he was coming out of anesthesia in the recovery room, I dumped two fake boobs out of a paper bag onto his bedside table and said, "The doctor said you can keep these, if you want. Like when you get wisdom teeth pulled." The nurse laughed so hard she cried!

I love the idea of the entire magic community knowing Billy and his siblings are children (well besides Mary in current continuity) but instead of telling anyone they help them mess with the rest of the super hero community.
Like John and Billy will never interact only to mention John being at the rock of eternity one time but the moment any JL member asks about it the two of them will start spewing the absolutely craziest stories imaginable that are too confusing for anyone to question. The Justice League thinks they're either friends or hate each other when in reality neither really cares about the other they just both like messing with the JL.
Zatanna will make comments about being really good friends with Mary and training/learning magic with her leaving the JL to assume it was when they were both younger.
The Spectre and Phantom Stranger will mention them being connected to a team of ancient super powerful individuals. One day one of the GLs or Superman spots the two of them, Zatanna and Fate having breakfast with Captain Marvel and Mary on the moon.
They'll ask Doctor Fate about it and he'll just be like, "Oh yeah, I knew them before they joined the JL. Both our parents were archeologists. Their mentor was a Lord of Order. One of their dead brothers is connected to the lords of chaos." Or he'll just stare at them like their dumb and vanish.
This has also caused many of them to be confused about the magic community in general.
The real tipping point though is when the guardians overhear earths GLs discussing a recent mission and mention a member of the Marvel Family only for Ganthet to be like "oh Shazam and his kids, yeah I know them. I visit the rock of eternity all the time. What trouble did they get into now."
Batman hates it, especially since Freddy figured out his identity nearly instantly but all Bruce can find about them is confusing chaos. Like none of the magic community directly lies but are also very misleading with the truth and only correct them in ways that would lead to more confusion and misunderstandings.
