Fashion Summoning Roulette

Danny is the new High King of the Infinite Realms!

But he is...very not intimidating.

His rogues take offense to this.

They demand that when he gets summoned to other worlds his summoning outfit be different than his hero outfit. He must look intimidating!

They would be so fucking embarrassed for cultists to know that they got their asses handed to them by not only a baby, but a baby that couldn't be bothered to get an actual hero suit.

So they workshop it and bully Danny into agreeing.

Each of his rogues gets to design a "High King of the Infinite Realms" outfit, and when they've all had a go then Danny gets to choose the one he likes best.

Every time he gets summoned, he's wearing a different outfit.

Some of them are creepy, some of them are frightening, some of them are actually pretty bland, and some of them are...dumb. But Boxy looks so fucking hopeful Danny can't say no. Some of them make him look like he's draped in stars, and another uses colors unseeable to mortal eyes.

It seems like a pretty solid deal.

But they also want feedback from the cultists.

This leads to things getting a little awkward.

Like cultists kidnapping renowned journalist Lois Lane and fancy Gotham idiot Billionaire Brucie Wayne to offer them to the High King of the Infinite Realms because they heard he's super into fashion, and who better than a journalist and a man richer than god to give him pointers?

Lois keeps pointing out she's not from a fashion magazine.

Bruce quietly mentally acknowledges that yeah, he actually pays attention to fashion more than she does. He won't say it, though. Not when she can hear him.

I can imagine Danny seeing both of the people in front of him, recognizing them and thinking ‘shit, I don’t want Batman or Superman to think I kidnapped these two and then attack me. I have enough bad press already’

So as a precaution he keeps at least one of them within arms reach at all times. When asked about this, Danny gets bashful and says something along the lines of. “Well, your family has a history of getting kidnapped and being rescued by Batman and his team” while pointing to Bruce, then he points to Lois, “and you have a history of getting rescued by Superman. So I know at least one of them will be here soon and I don’t want them to punch first and ask questions later. So I figured if one of you is standing close to me they are less likely to attack me.”

Danny fidgets with his hands while looking at the ground. His outfit (author’s choice) which once made him look regal now looks too big on him.

“Besides, your government already sees me and my people as non-sentient. They even created the Anti-Ecto Acts to made it legal to capture, exterminate, and perform painful experiments on us. I don’t want the Justice League to start doing the same thing.”

This last piece of information gets the attention of Lois Lane, world renowned journalist and meta rights activist, and Batman, the world’s greatest detective and guy who has a soft spot for kids.

It would be really funny if it was at that moment Superman shows up to save the day. But both Bruce and Lois shoo him out the door before turning back to Danny and asking for me details about these Anti-Ecto Acts.

"Lois! Are you oka-?"

"Not now Cl-Superman, I just got a big scoop. Go for a walk or something."

"But...the cultists..."

"Ahahaha, we're fine Superman, you just tie them up and we'll keep talking with this kiddo about uh...what was that? Unethical and completely legal torture of en entire species?"

Brucie's voice was confused and jovial, but his expression? The one carefully turned away from the floating kid wearing a cardboard mecha costume with glowing, poorly drawn stars?

His expression was pissed.

Like, 'spar with me Clark' levels of pissed.

Clark backed away, vaguely aware of the cultists doing the same thing.

"We're fine fighting Superman out back," the leader soothed Bruce, herding his flock of insane cultists to the door.

Superman nodded and trailed after them.

Could it be a trap? Yes.

Was he going to let that stop him from getting away from Lois and Bruce, both of whom had found something they could sink their teeth into?

Nope.

BREAKING NEWS! GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS CATALOGED A WHOLE DIMENSION AS NON SENTIENT!!!

Lois Lane could be seen very smug in the office, Clark looked seconds away from running away like she was a hound of hell after him. In the newspaper, Bruce Wayne gave a very long statement about how disgusted he was that such laws were approved and afraid on who would be next.

That caused max hysteria.

Danny has no idea about the new trends he caused, nor do he knows what he unleashed in the world by answering Bruce and Lois' questions.

He lear nd about the outrage over the anti Ecto acts because of his parents. They are ranting about how people need them in place. And how stupid can they be. Danny is like??????

Later that day Sam tackle hugs him.

Sam: You damn genius! Now every one knows about the acts and they are pissed! Lois Lane did her thing! And oh boy! Did she do it good!

Danny: Cool! Um. I only talked with her for a little bit though? It wasn't like an interview or anything?

Sam: Huh.... You sure about that buddy? Anyway! When do I get to choose your next summons outfit!

Danny: .... Next time?

Sam: Perfect! I have the best idea!

It works so well because Danny is a child and he's wearing Box Armor.

Are you gonna take a child wearing boxes to protect himself with child art all over it as a threat?

You won't. Especially since the boxes are probably a bit too big and falling off, showing how skinny and small he is.

Makes you just want to take him home and feed him sandwiches.

I can see I can see that even if the fentons are good parents they're still slightly neglectful parents since the majority of the food they cook comes to life so well Danny also has slightly stunted growth due to malnourishment since he's not eating properly he's short and skinny.

If Skuller dressed him and it was all armor and metal the same rules apply. Its too big, like a child playing in their parents clothes.

Yup. Bruce and Lois saw the tiny scared teen. Who didn't want to hurt anyone. Just wanted opinions on the outfits his friends made. And they just want to lock him up somewhere safe. Finding out the government is hunting him? Hahaha! No! Not on their watch. He wore a silly outfit to please a kid. If that's malicious they don't know what kindness would look like!

Clockwork and the other Ancients making him display them is so cute! Danny does like Frighty's armour. It's so cool! The Ancients of course end up making into a competition. Who's outfit does he like best! Look at him! So cute!

Of course, now that Batman and Lois Lane know the High King of the Infinite Realms, literally the afterlife, is just this little kid trying to take his unexpected and not entirely wanted job seriously and also jsut wanting to make hsi friends and fellow ghosts happy, they definitely remember to jot down the summoning circle. It doesn't HAVE to be blood sacrifices, right? Kids like cookies too. Basically the next summon is full space goth Danny (because of course Sam would make it goth) and he's being summoned in the middle of Wayne Manor where Bruce just wants a followup and to invite the kid over for dinner.

Poor Clark tho, he's so confused and then a week after his girlfriend drops THAT bomb on the news, she says she's gonna summon the kid again! Like full on asks him to make his mothers special pie for the kid!

Alfred goes all of for the King. Just full on. The best he can do. And Danny? Loves it.

Danny:... If you guys end up ghosts I am hiring you.

Alfred: That is quite he compliment. Thank you your Majesty.

Meanwhile? Clark heard this? And tells his Ma. So she can also pull out all the stops. Obviously his Ma needs a chance to earn that sort f compliment too. And Ma and Pa Kent? Oh they go hard. That poor boy! Died so young! And ended up King? And he's just trying to do his best? Well, they better get the best out for him! A proper Midwest meal!

Danny gets hugs, and a hand made sweater. It's the softest thing he has ever worn. Like, wow. It's so comfy? He happily pulls it on. Snuggly and soft!

Danny: It's so soft! Best sweater ever! I love it! Thank you Mrs Kent! And the pie is amazing! Best I've ever eaten!

Clark gets to smirk at Bruce after. Shows him a picture of Danny snuggled into the sofa wearing a Kent sweater? Oh it's on!

Danny keeps being summoned for weekly dinners now? And they keep giving him gifts? And not asking for anything! They are just worried cause he's so young? and it's so nice of them. He tracks down Pandora for lessons on giving blessings to mortals. They deserve something.

Pandora of course checks the humans out. Perhaps this is a plot? But no. They are heroes. And feel grief for her King. Who died too young and bears a heavy burden. She lays a blessing of health over them herself for that. And teaches Danny how to lay his own.

Constantine? Is so confused when he sees them next.

John: How the fuck? Did you get the King of the Dead? And the Goddess of Hope to give ya blessins?

Bruce and Clark: We what now?

The best part? Is that Lois DEFINITELY either got a pic or artist's recreation of Danny in the box armor for the front page? Like? Imagine THAT as most of Humanity's fist view of this supposed threat?

Scrawny, sheepish, teenage boy in cosplay armor. Oh they tremble.

The PTA moms would go FERAL. Lois would lay it Just So, that it HAMMERS home... "Oh. Oh this is Just Some Kid. They are HUNTING DOWN CHILDREN" and you'd feel SICK.

It would be an international SHIT STORM.

Cause there are a LOT of cultures where "respect the dead" is not a request, its a demand. There would be Kill Bill sirens at the UN.

...........I wanna watch.

She goes one step further. It's a picture of him and Box Lunch. Who she managed to convince to talk to her. And Box Lunch? Tiny baby? In matching outfit? Talking about how he is her hero? And he let her be his little sister? With Box Ghost an Lunch Lady talking about how sweet he is to their little munchkin. Absolute softy to kids? Well, the media loves it.

and if while she questions the parents she leaves box lunch with jon and Damian come to visit her?

Jon gets a new indestructible playmate! And so his Box Lunch! Lois ends up summ going the family most weekends for play dates.

the ghost family is so happy to have guests, lady lunch gives them almost a snack feast every time and Boxy gives them gifts!…. it's cardboard boxes, beautiful cardboard boxes but always cardboard boxes… at least it's perfect for bringing back leftover food
