Can I get a vaguely Danny Phantom esque maribat AU?

I’m sure you all know where I’m goin with this but like,,,,, Jason who died and was brought back in the lazarus pits but not- not completely. He is something dead that’s living. Something that’s never been seen before.

Ghosts are everywhere and it seems he’s one of the few people who can see them.

He’s still probably pissed at Bruce and everything but he doesn’t have the pit rage rattling around in his head. And like, he gets kind of distracted by the whole ‘ghosts everywhere and he’s the only one who can stop them from causing havoc so…’

Jason takes his rad ghost powers, peaces out of the league, and starts vigilante it up ghost style.

He ends up in Paris because something fucked up is happening there. Ghosts appearing and disappearing and there’s so much rage in the place that poltergeists and shit are cropping up on every block.

He tries to mostly stay out of the hero’s way. They’re handling their thing, and he’s cleaning up the mess they don’t know about. It’s a pretty good system all things considered.

That is,,, until the lady hero dies one day, mid-battle. Only, she doesn’t stay dead.

The whole city is quiet as they watch the pool of blood beneath her grow, they’re silent as the villain of the week crows about their victory, they’re silent as all the other heroes crowd around her and wail at her loss.

And then, then they watch her get back up.

(I wonder. If you kill something that is so full of life and creation, does it ever really die?)

The people don’t know what happened, think she was knocked out or playing dead or whatever, but Jason knows. He can see the difference in her. Sees the way the ghosts notice her now, in a similar (but ultimately different) way they do him.

She’s like him now. A little bit to the left, perhaps, but closer than anything else has ever come.

That night, Jason drops onto her balcony, eyes glowing sickly green to match her own burning red, and he tells her everything he wished someone was able to tell him when he became what he is.
