What if Gotham's newest "monster" was actually a dying child? After escaping years of torture at the hands of the Guys in White, Danny Fenton-now known only as Phantom-arrives in Gotham broken, blind, and barely holding himself together. The world believes he destroyed Amity Park and murdered his family, and Batman is determined to stop the dangerous ecto-entity before more people die. But Batman only sees a threat. Jason Todd sees the truth. When Red Hood finds the terrified ghost boy bleeding out in an alley, he recognizes the signs immediately: the scars, the fear, the way Danny flinches like he's waiting to be hurt again. Jason knows what it means to survive death and come back wrong, and he refuses to let Gotham turn this child into another victim. Now, with Batman hunting Phantom and the truth buried beneath government lies, Jason is prepared to protect Danny at any cost-even if it means going against the Bat-Family itself. A dark, emotional crossover filled with hurt/comfort, misunderstandings, trauma recovery, and found family.

Seventeen-year-old Drake Cadmus Ordo expected Comic-Con, cheap plastic armor, and maybe a blurry photo with a celebrity. He did not expect the unmarked door he stepped through to rip him out of Earth and drop him inside an Imperial Academy in 4 BBY, six months before his assignment to Darth Vader's flagship, the Executor. Forced to survive as a stormtrooper cadet, Drake blends in as best he can until a mysterious System appears, gifting him with a 25,000 midichlorian count, knight-level combat instincts, and memories the Empire should never discover. Then it vanishes, leaving him alone with impossible power in the worst place in the galaxy to have it. To make matters worse, Drake uncovers a truth buried in Mandalorian history: he is the grandson of Pre Vizsla, born of two ancient clans that once held Jedi relics. And the Force inside him is waking. But Vader senses something wrong aboard his ship. The Force ripples where it shouldn't. A presence hides where none should exist. As Drake tries to hide his abilities, clones begin to suspect the truth. Vader draws closer. And when a mission turns into a massacre, when Jedi Masters reveal themselves, and the battlefield burns, Drake is forced to stop pretending. Back-to-back with Darth Vader, Drake reveals the power he never meant to use. Now Vader knows. And the galaxy will never be the same.
