Flash kept on looking around the superhero-packed room. Looking for his friend among the crowd of costumed heroes. 

The music was slightly too loud, just loud enough where you could talk to your companions but couldn’t overhear people’s conversations. 

“Flash!” whipping around, a smile spread across the speeder's face when he saw the Bizzarro costume Superman was wearing.

“Supes! Have you seen phantom!?”

“I was going to ask you that!” Superman stood on his toes as he tried to find the giant of a team member that they had,” I thought he was going to come and scare all of us as a prank!”

A Catwoman approached them, and it took Flash a few seconds for him to realize who was under the costume,” Phantom is with Constantine,” Flash almost struggled to keep his eyes on Diana's face,” Today the barrier between earth and hell is at its weakest. They’re busy keeping the hellspawn contained to their dimension. 

Flash deflated at that,” Oh…man I was looking forward to seeing his costume. 

Superman snorted before taking a polite sip out of his punch,” yeah right, you were looking forward to him scaring us like he said he was. “

Flash kept on looking around the superhero-packed room. Looking for his friend among the crowd of costumed heroes.

He pouted. 

Man, he really wanted to see Danny scare everyone like he said he was. 

Everything was going just fine. It was a fun party with plenty of food and drinks, all of which were just perfect for the party. Everyone was having a good time, there were no reports of any villains acting up, so it was good. 

Or at least it was. 

There was a flash of light that blinded almost everyone. While all of them were getting ready to defend themselves, it was the sound of something crashing into a nearby table that made them look over and pause. 

Some of them were questioning just what the hell they were looking at. And others were questioning if they were seeing things. 

There were three visitors, and only one of them was someone they knew. 

Phantom and a female carbon copy were floating in the air, the two of them standing over the figure that had crashed into the table. 

And they  did not  look happy.

A hush fell over the crowd, and they could hear the blue-skinned vampire cursing under his breath.

Slowly, Phantom and his partner floated down to the floor. Whoever was closest to them felt chills go down their spine. And they didn’t know  what,  but there was something about the pair that were making a primal instinct of theirs start screaming to run and never return. Very quickly, a large space was cleared for the new arrivals. 

Danny stalked forward; his female look-alike was right next to him.

And if Flash thought Danny looked scary with Klarion.

Then Danny looked like he would make even the toughest of guys pee themselves. And his companion looked just as terrifying.

As if they were part of a hive mind, the two glowing figures stalked forward, their footsteps and even tilting of their heads were synchronized. Their hands were curled in as much as their claws would let them. Despite the fact that their pupils were hidden by the bright green glow of their sclera, everyone could tell that they were completely focused on the man in front of them.
