Chapter Eighteen: Amity Park

"So," Dick asked the twins. "When do we leave?"

The twins shared a look.

Next thing anyone knew, an argument had broken out as the two pushed open a set of doors in another part of the basement of Mount Justice. Somewhere along the line, they were joined by Robin, Static, and Tempest. And let's just say that their conversation wasn't exactly quiet.

"What part of 'Hell no!' do you guys not understand," Danny snapped at the team.

"The part where you want to handle whatever the hell this is on your own," Dick told them, putting on a big brother act.

"This is more than any of you have ever faced before," White says. "More than just elemental androids, metahuman terrorists, alien tyrants, and businessmen with a god complex. We were lucky to make it out alive last time."

"Well... as alive as I can be," Danny shrugged.

Siren just shook his head, used to his brother's "halfway dead" sayings.

"If this enemy really is that dangerous, then it would be wise to let us come with you," Kaldur told them.

"This is not up for debate,'' Danny almost going into his ghostly voice. "Going into the ocean or deep space is one thing, but a different dimension is a whole new world.''

"How literal," Robin tried to joke, but the message didn't send from the blank looks he got in return.

"Who even has you this scared," Mal asked. "From what I've heard, not even a witch from Greek mythology got to you."

"I'm a part of Greek mythology, as well," White reminded. "Of course Circe would not get to me. All she did was make me mad."

"I had to have one very annoying conversation with Hades after that mission while in the Ghost Zone," Danny added. "He was very upset over one of his worst Tartarus prisoners finding a way out."

"He's the god of the Underworld," White reminded. "When has he ever been in a good mood?"

"Whenever Persephone is around," Danny smirked. "Or when you ever decide to visit him. He asked about you."

"I'll send him a gift basket, but he will have to wait for me just like everyone else in our lives," White snickered. "God or not."

Siren then went over to his side of the room that they were in while Phantom went to the other. The room they were in was a space of Mount Justice that the twins use for their... let's call them creations. Siren liked to use his magic to enchant various weapons or object with his golden music. His favorite was a silver bow that he charmed to fire golden arrows.

Phantom's specialty was using his ecto-energy to create specialized tech that is especially effective against ghosts. The two also used the room for more of their in-depth research when asked to help with some cases that require more detective hands. Green Arrow and Flash ask for their help quite a bit. Even though Siren is more knowledgeable about the mystical cases and he lets Phantom handle the science.

"Is there anyone that doesn't like that kid," Mal chuckled.

"Probably not," Karen says, smiling at her boyfriend. "I definitely don't know anyone that wouldn't."

Phantom typed a few commands into his computer. He opened a few files he had about the recent events the ghosts informed him about Amity.

"Lucky for us that our more 'spiritual' friends kept us informed about those we left behind," Danny said.

"Now is not the time for bad puns, big brother," White says, pulling his bow off the wall. "I'll be taking this, just in case."

"I will never know why heroes love using the bow and arrows to other weapons," Impulse was zipping around the room, looking at all the tech and weapons.
