The hum of the Watchtower's machinery provided little comfort as (Y/N) sat cross-legged on the cold metallic floor, trying to piece together her thoughts. Her fingers fidgeted with the hem of her hoodie, a habit Danny often teased her about when she was nervous. Her gaze flicked to the massive window overlooking the stars, an unrelenting reminder that she wasn't just far from home—she was in another dimension entirely.
The doors to the room hissed open, and (Y/N)'s heart leaped to her throat as several members of the Justice League strode back in. Batman led the group, his cape billowing ominously, followed by Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern. Their expressions ranged from cautious curiosity to outright suspicion.
"She hasn't moved," Flash said, appearing in a blur beside (Y/N). "I think that counts for something."
(Y/N) flinched at his sudden arrival. "Uh... thanks?"
"Enough," Batman said sharply, his voice low and commanding. He fixed (Y/N) with his piercing gaze. "You said a 'Ghost Zone' brought you here. Explain."
(Y/N) inhaled deeply, trying to calm her racing thoughts. She had no choice but to give them some version of the truth. "Okay, so... where I'm from, there's this place called the Ghost Zone. It's a parallel dimension where spirits and energy exist. My—uh, my team and I were investigating a tear in the zone when I got pulled through it. I didn't mean to come here."
"Team?" Wonder Woman asked, stepping closer.
(Y/N) hesitated. She didn't want to say too much about Danny or his ghost powers. "Yeah. We work together to, you know, handle weird stuff like this."
Superman's expression softened slightly. "So, you're not alone in your world. You have allies?"
(Y/N) nodded, her voice steadying. "Yes, and they're probably trying to find me right now. They'll come for me."
Batman's eyes narrowed. "Assuming they can. Dimensional travel is no simple feat. If what you're saying is true, they might not even know where you are."
The thought sent a chill through (Y/N), but she refused to let herself spiral. Danny would find her. He always did.
"What do you know about the rift that brought you here?" Green Lantern asked, his arms crossed.
"Nothing specific," (Y/N) admitted. "Natural tears sometimes happen in the Ghost Zone, but this one felt... different. Stronger. Like it was pulling on something."
"Like you," Batman said.
(Y/N) opened her mouth to respond, but the door hissed open again, interrupting her. A young man with dark hair and a black-and-blue suit entered, his domino mask obscuring his eyes.
"Sorry to interrupt," Nightwing said, his tone light but his expression serious. "We've got reports of increased rift activity near Gotham. Looks like whatever brought her here might not be done."
"Gotham," Batman repeated, his jaw tightening.
Superman turned to (Y/N). "If these rifts are connected to your dimension, we may need your help."
"Wait," (Y/N) said, raising her hands. "Help? I don't even know what's going on!"
"You're the only one with knowledge of this 'Ghost Zone,'" Wonder Woman said gently. "If these rifts continue to destabilize, your insight could be crucial."
"Crucial, huh?" (Y/N) muttered, running a hand through her hair. She felt utterly out of her depth, but the weight of their gazes left little room for refusal. "Alright, fine. I'll help. But only because it might help me get home faster."
