A Protectors Core

Note to self: also post to tumblr like other chapeters if not done already

Danny does not have an ice core like his ice powers might imply, not an electric core like his death might imply, sure they are parts of his core, but his core is truely a protectors core. He is the Ancient of Space and Heros, but also of Protection, he figured out how literal the space thing was pretty quickly, then his core screaming at him when ever anybody in Amity Park was in danger checked of the protector part, soon he figured out he could tell when a hero was born, he watched over Bruce Wayne, Diana, Clark Kent, and those people.

I sat in class and worked on my english test, I might not like nor be good at english but Mr Lancer was a good teacher. Still though, we get free passes if a ghost attack happens and I was pretty sure I could protect everyone, it's in the tile and all.

Suddenly something sharp tugged on my core and I breathed out an icy exhale which probably sounded like me getting winded "Mr Daniel, are you alright?" Mr Lancer asked
"Uhm, I don't think so," I stood up abruptly and ran for the bathroom. Mr Lancer would assume I was sick and that I'd gone to the nurse and then home if he couldn't find me there and something was wrong.

I transformed the minute I locked myself in a stall and dove into a portal I created. I flew through space and time and leaped out of a portal somewhere, I immediately saw my heros getting killed and bright green rage flew through my veins.

When I lost enough rage to think I saw the creature nothing but a read smear on a table, I just did a little intangibility and let that be someone elses problem. Then I turned to my heros, my exausted and sleeping heros, and in bad cases my dying heros. I summoned some basic medical equipment and from years of trail and error and self-experimentation I easily fixed up any fatal wounds.

After their wounds were okay enough I let myself grow big enough to touch the ceiling and transform into a less human form and I curled my tail (instead of legs) around my heros, they had been through so much just for people they'd never meet, they deserved to heal in peace, they would not be harmed as long as I was here.

I woke up to the feeling of hurt and woozyness and general sense of what's going on. How bad had it been this time that I didn't even remember it? If Lex put kryponite in my brain or something- nevermind, yep, my side felt like it was on fire. Suddenly it got better and a... voice whispered in my ear, it wasn't speaking in words but conveyed emotions perfectly, it said safteyrestnow youreprotected noharmwillcometoyou imheresorryimlate safeprotectedokay wontbehurtwithmehere and the general sense saying that I should rest and that I was safe becasue of it, despite the red flags I became inclined to agree.

I loved how happy and safe I felt when the voice cooed over me gaveupsomuchforthem suchagoodherogoodperson doingsowellgoodjob notgoingtofail ontherightpath protectorofhumanity goodjobsoproudofyou. Honestly the hero job wasn't all that rewarding, I wasn't ever going to give it up but it felt nice to be praised, to finally be reconised for all that I've done other than just 'superguy saves metropolis again' which honestly seemed like a chore after a while, yesunderstandtrue rightpathgoodpath yourworkisnoticedIcare yousavelives heroswalkthispath dontgiveup peopleseeyouiseeyou.

I woke up groggily, wondering if Alfred had knocked me out with tranquilliser again. I got ready to push myself up but feelings suddenly weighed me down, happy warm feelings, that told me it was all okay, dontneedtofightrightnow youresaferestplease solongprotectingalltheothers nofighthereiprotectyou goodjobrestmyhero sleepprotectorofgotham iwillbehereprotectingyou sleepisokay noreasontofight everyonesafenoonehurt, a voice said. Something in me which ususally warned me of danger, of people who aren't quite what they seem, told me that I should trust the voice, that what it said was true. It probably wasn't and usually I would fight the temptation, but this didn't feel like an illusion and I had been in a lot of them, it felt true and real.

That night I rested far more peacfully than I had since I was a child.

What happened? I felt the minds of everyone around me, they were all asleep and at a peace of sorts. The black mercy maybe, if this is- nonono notliarplant musthealsafehere youneedrest ispeaktruth donotworrysleep iamnottheplant wakeupwhenhealed.

I woke up and lurched forwards, what happened? The rest of the Justice League sat around me all slowly waking up and I felt better than I had in years, the aching exaustion deep in my bones was faint, the grime and dirt of Gotham seemed far away; I wasn't sure whether to panic or go back to sleep, it was painful but that was all a part of me.
"What happened?" Flash ask
"I do not think it was bad." J'onn said, I thought about what happened. The voice. It...
"How long were we asleep?!" Superman asked worridly
"I think it paused time, we all slept as much as we needed to and individually had time unpased for us when we woke up." J'onn said
"Huh, wacky." Flash commented, I stood up and felt weighted down again. Comforted and pained by it's familiar weight, I decided that that... state of being okay was not for me, it was good to finally be well rested though.
