Hello, DC Xover but with a really protective Amity Park and Rouges. Like reeeaaally protective.
Like imagine year or two after Danny wins against Pariah Dark and Amity has pretty much come to love and defend THEIR hero like a proud Mama Ghost Bear. The rouges that fight Danny constantly have all, by this point, realized that not only was/is he protecting the town he was/is also protecting THEM from the GIW/Parents by getting to them first and sending them back to the GZ. Even when THEY ask for help with something in the ghost zone he answers regardless of whether it has to do with his city. So now although they still ‘spar’ with him he is basically theirs now fuck you very much and obviously they need to protect him he lives with GHOST HUNTERS for ancients sake.
Add in to it with the fact that the Justice League never answering Amity’s calls for help and the GIW still being absolutely horrible and pretty much all of Amity Park is willing to throw hands with any form of government that wants to try to start shit with them and/or Phantom. The ghosts don’t actually have much info on the rest of the world so this government team of “heroes” is obviously just better ghost hunters then the GIW (their idea is reinforced by the fact that Amity Park citizens shit-talk about them) so the rouges are like hyper aware of paying attention to Danny cause they need to be READY to get their ghost boy evacuated instantly if these “heroes” ever come to town.
Like Amity Park and Danny’s Rouges have collectively decided that Phantom is their child hero and for everything he’s done for Amity Park and the GZ they are all willing to go toe to toe against Supper-dude/red-leotard lightning man/insomniac-furry/Wonder-Tiara or whatever the fuck they’re called (Amity doesn’t care what they call themselves and the Justin-Leakers or whatever lost the chance to correct them when they ignored all their calls for help).
Like imagine the Justice League showing up in Amity Park and instead of the usual welcome and reactions, they get every Amity Park citizen going into DEFENCE MODE including the Rouges.
Imagine how that would look to the Justice League for a quick sec.
They walk into this city to check out the situation/meet with Amity’s Hero cause they have NOTHING to go on since this city has no online presence (thanks Tucker) let alone anything on their hero (thanks Technus) as if it’s all been wiped from existence (looking at you Desirée) when they stumble upon a ghost fight.
It’s a minor spar to Johnny, Shadow, and Kitty cause they just honestly just need to blow off some steam and even Phantom seems to understand that cause he’s not hitting as hard as he usually does.
The Justice League however can only see a 16 year old (not human cause they are all obviously not human and holy fuck none of them have heartbeats omg the rumours that this city is plagued by the undead is true) fighting and flying and dodging like an absolute professional while he holds his own against two other vaguely human creatures and an honest to god living shadow creature.
Before any of the Justice League can react or offer help though, a civilian (and wow there are a lot of civilians not running or panicking watching this fight) spots them and just has a look of pure HORROR before they scream at the top of their lungs “THE JUSTIN-LEAKERS ARE HERE!!!”
Cue EVERY SINGLE PERSON AND GHOST JUST FREEZING.
The Justice League cause “what did they just call us??????”
The citizens cause 1) they didn’t come when THEY called for help so they must be here on behalf of the government which means they’ve probably only have the Fentons ‘research’ aka their hero is very much IN DANGER RIGHT NOW 2) cause they have a bone to pick and they are about to unleash rage but only once they figure out how to get their hero to safety.
The ghosts cause omg these are those actually good ghost hunters we’ve heard about we need to notify the others and get Phantom out of here yesterday
Phantom cause wow I finally get to meet the other heroes and I heard some of them are actual aliens from Tucker and Sam this is going to be so cool but also they picked an awkward moment to come visit the city. Hopefully Johnny, Shadow and Kitty will understand and rap this up early and do this spar once the other heroes have left.
Then suddenly everyone (except the Justice League) is moving. The citizens locked eyes with the 3 undead rouges and mutual understanding passed between them.
The rouges are suddenly yelling “EVAC NOW!!!” And it echoes across the city. More of Danny’s rouges come speeding out of nowhere and basically tackle drag him to to ghost zone while the others form a tight ring of defence around their ghost boy as they fly. The citizens have formed a massive wall of bodies blocking off the heroes from following and are those glowing pitchforks on fire??? Where did those even come from??? Amity’s Police force are suddenly just THERE and already in full body armour with Laser Guns??????? pointed directly at them and just wow that is a teenager holding an honest to god bazooka.
What follows is literally the most confusing stand off the Justice League has ever faced cause “are we seriously not going to address the fact that your hero was just kidnapped by your city’s main rouges?” “Why are they all in defensive stances facing us??” “Did they just call Bats the insomniac-furry??? **wheezes**”
Like the JL would just be *pure confusion* while all the citizens are just PrePared to hold them back long enough for the ghosts to get Phantom back to Hel. Danny’s Rouges are delicately explaining to Phantom that this is not an attack from them they are just getting him to somewhere safe since these humans are here to hunt him and not to worry cause Amity’s humans are willingly acting as a distraction so they’ll get to Ghost Zone before they can catch up (thank Skulker for the wording and also cue Danny being both fuzzy happy cause his rouges and Amity care about him and sad boy cause the Heroes believe his parents research).
I find great joy in the fact that no-matter WHAT the Justice League says or does the people and ghosts of Amity Park would take it as a threat. “You want to recruit our hero? Yeah right you just want to use him like a weapon/to take him away so you can sell him off to the government/ghost hunters for study.” “You want to learn what’s going on in the city? Sure not like we had already called and detailed what was happening like a few thousand times before.” “You want to ‘HELP’? Sure you do and The Box Ghost hates boxes.”
Like nothing they say would help their case and they’d have to hightail it out of there fast cause everyone from Amity Park child to grandma are hell bent on getting them out of their city and most importantly away from their hero. The Justice League would barely (if at all) get even a glimpse of Phantom before the citizens/rouges are shielding him and dragging him away.
Sure the Justice League might come back as civilian ‘tourists’ but honestly Amity Park and the ghosts have probably dealt with sooo many undercover ghost hunters that they treat anyone who visits as a possible threat to their ghost boy so even then they’d probably only get close enough to call out to Phantom before either they’re dragged off or Phantoms dragged off leaving the heroes with absolutely no time to even talk or get a detailed description of Phantom. It’d be this one giant game of keep away and it’d be hilarious.
Just overly protective rouges and citizens.
Even Wes would be cowed enough to know that if he tries ANYTHING it’d be complete and utter social-suicide not just among his peers but among the entirety of Amity Park so he would probably see a tourist or hero and just straight up sprint the other way just so no one can call him out on ‘giving up Amity’s Ghost’.
First thing that came to my mind was that at least one person who is a bit more out of the loop than the rest would think that the name "Justin-Leaker" meant that, as well as being ghost hunters/government affiliated/this specific group also pirated or otherwise gave early leaks for new Justin Bieber songs, so Ember and any of her fans would be doubly terrified/enraged for ruining some aspects of the music industry. Or something like that.
Also, I feel like the Box Ghost would both 1) be the only one who got their name actually correct, and 2) know their secret identities via tracking their packages.
Also, also--If Jason ends up coming along, I think that would just add further proof of their misdeeds as far as Amity and the Rogues are concerned, because to them it would probably seem like they were already using ghosts/ectoplasm in their experiments, or had a ghost in their thrall or something and were using him as a weapon. And to the ghosts specifically it might remind them of Lydia's situation, or Freakshow's ghost-controlling staff.
Too bad Danny won't get to go to the Watchtower as a legitimate visitor, though.
Soooo would Amity Park basically become like a city-state? They isolate themselves away and work to protect their own from those that might do harm.
They work to make additional portals as alternative escape routes and have bunkers and an underground network for getting to various evacuation points (both through the GZ and otherwise).
Tucker and Technus make the city network invisible to anyone outside of it and impossible to hack or otherwise invite yourself into it.
With time the Fentons only hunt the ghosts that want to cause harm and work on creating non weaponized ecto-tech. Scientific advances (Healthcare, transportation, technology, etc.) leap forward by several decades for both ghosts and humans and Amity Park becomes completely self sufficient.
The citizens of Amity Park that keep an eye on the news realize that the "Justin-Leakers" (who they know are the Justice League but they enjoyed seeing their faces so much the name isn't changing within the city limits) have their own rogue gallery they go up against regularly- some of which seem to just need certain accommodations to live relatively peacefully. After all, most of their GZ residents don't visit to destroy but to fulfill a need -whrther that be an adventure, a concert, a game of chase or hide and seek, or to add to their collection. So they understand a bit more than most people the consequences of keeping someone from being able to fulfill that extra need.
This can then mix with that one post I saw somewhere (can't remember where) where the JL find their own enemies disappearing only to find they've moved to Amity Park.
Poison Ivy and Overgrowth join Sam in charge of the city's green spaces and assisting with the greenhouses. They also have a selection of seeds around the city boundaries just in case. They also help to produce various medicinal herbs and spend their free time testing out various hybrids. There's a poison garden they can play with that also allows them to develop anti-toxins and antidotes.
Jazz works out deals and makes arrangements for Harley Quinn and Spectra to allow them to heal and help others as well. Spectra won't work with teenagers but is fine with kids (there was a fic where she's fine with children and I loved it! I read it a while ago so I can't remember the name. I'll link it if I find it again), and Harley's not a fan of adult men. Jazz works with everyone and is thrilled she has people to talk about psychology and behavior with.
They don't take all the rogues - just the ones that have been wronged, or didn't have an outlet and were pushed to far. The ones that were made by circumstance and misguided aspirations rather than by choice and a lack of care.
Amity Park becomes "the myth of the mid-west." "A mini Wakanda"- invisible and hidden to the outside world, protected by their own. A "chaotic paradise" - a "modern pirate isle" that seems to abide by its own rules. A city inhabited and run by the fae.
Also- i kinda like the idea that there would be some JL/YJL members they accept/adopt...potentially forcefully. It seems random until you realize its those that the citizens feel are being used for their power or only allowed to be a member so there's a way to keep an eye on them.
When Dani learns about Roy and Connor she snaps them up so fast. She claims them as hers and brings them back so they don't feel like their lives are predetermined or dictated by who "the original" is. Bc she knows the people of Amity Park won't care (especially Danny). And they can learn to be comfortable being their own person.
Jason is another forcefully adopted member. The fentons work with frostbite to figure out the level of ecto-contamination and whether he's been getting enough ectoplasm to stay healthy (ecto-hangry Jason AU). The other ghosts help him figure out what his obsession is. If it's an unhealthy one they work out how to tweak it so it can be fulfilled/acted on in a healthier way. He joins the spars to blow off steam and for the first time in a while he doesn't have to hold back. He joins the action squad for whenever the GIW tries to come into town. But otherwise he enjoys working with Ghost Writer and the town librarian - making reading programs for the kids and running the various book clubs.
Billy (Shazam) is adopted rather quickly bc the ghosts would know who he is and see him as another baby hero they have to protect regardless of the age his change makes him look. I feel like he and Danny are the semi-oblivious babies of the group. They're encouraged to work as heroes (they're not going to stop them) but also they take care of a lot of things from the sidelines and in the background to make sure they're not in over their heads.
Arthur (Aquaman) and J'onn (Martian Manhunter) are allowed to visit and act as emissaries when the ghosts find out they're ready to throw hands with the govt and GIW to protect the ghosts. They're the only league members they semi-like but the agreement is no league talk/business while in city limits, and if they show up in costume they get the same treatment as the rest of the "Leakers".

Aquaman to Martian: So Jazz and Phantom were complaining this weekend about how-
Rest of the inner circle for the league: wait the people of Amity Park talked to you?!
Aquaman: no you idiots. Remember? No JL members allowed? They yelled at us pretty loud to go away. Thought it'd be easy to remember something like that. [Back to Martian] anyways, so she's complaining about how the combo of Pamela and Overgrowth have made this pollen season really hard and-
Rest of JL (especially batman who's been worried about the lack of active from Poison Ivy bc it means she's planning something) :?!?!?!?!?
=====
Various members of the JL coming by the city and seeing one of their rogues in the background: There you Are!
All of Amity Park: who?
JL: [insert villain name]! Why are they here? They're a villain!
AP: [dramatic looking confused] sorry we don't have anyone here by that name.
JL: they're right there! [Gestures]
AP: oh! You mean [civilian name]? They've been here a long time. Family's been here for generations [shows fake papers to prove it, thx Tucker] so there's no way they're your [villain name but wrong on purpose] or whatever. Just not possible.
JL: but-
AP, [pushing them back out the figurative door]: so thx for stopping by but you're not wanted nor welcome. So you can go now. Bye!
[Slams figurative door in their face]
JL: ...

I'll stop now bc this is already really long
