Wild can do incredibly accurate monster/animal impressions. And will do so when he is bored to see who reacts to what. In general he finds it amusing but he's come pretty close to being attacked by other members of the chain out of reflex
"I did not think I'd ever use it like this," the boy muttered next to batman.
It was comically, with the police and ambulance lighting up the entire area.
Danny, being himself, had gotten curious and accidentally busted a human trafficking ring, which ended up with batman and his kids (?) doing the fighting and the police being called.
"Son, solving crime doesn't mean you didn't trespass and break into someone's property, I will have to take you back to the station—"
"I have diplomatic immunity."
Officer Gordon stood still for a moment, progressing.
"You can't really, err— put me to prison." The boy took his phone out, stopped at a picture, and showed it to the officer and batman.
The vigilante confirmed his identity with a jerky nod, and Gordon is pinching his brows.
"Son– no offence your... majesty, why are you in Gotham of all places?"
The boy now identified as Daniel Phantom, prince of the other and currently the reigning monarch of another realm.
In gotham.
"Okay, so," Danny coughs, embarrassed. "I'm on university search and gotham had this really cool space science programm. I really wanted to see it."
—
(Once they checked his papers and got his statement, did they let him leave to his hotel + some of his squad going along for protection measure.
Gordon heaved a sigh, "We can be glad it wasn't the joker. That would have made headlines." and slumb in his seat.
Batman grunts, a sound the officer knows too well.
"You're gonna look out for the kid?"
Another grunt.
"Good, because Gotham help us all if that kid gets hurt.")
A fluffle
DPxDC au where Danny tells Jazz about the portal accident immediately and she insists they leave asap, so Danny has the complication of discovering his powers while hitch-hiking or otherwise traveling to Gotham/Metropolis/Wherever. For angst and plot, maybe Danny gets kidnapped by meta traffickers since he can't reliably hide his powers and Jazz, unsatisfied with how the police are handling it, tracks down a hero for help.
Ooh. I’d assume they’d probably try to go to a place that knows about the supernatural. Zatanna Zatarra, Batman, Justice League Dark, Shazam, all of them could be people they go to.
Not only would it make discovering his powers a bit easier, but having a mentor could totally change the ways he fights ghosts
Rating the links on how well they could do taxes, from “what are taxes” to “semi-functional adult”
Wild: taxes disappeared after the calamity, and they don’t feature in any of the memories that he’s regained
Hyrule: this boy lives in a cave, if he’s ever heard of taxes it was only in passing
Wind: he’s a child, what 14 year old knows anything about taxes
Time: I think we can all agree that Malon does his taxes for him
Sky: I don’t know if skyloft has taxes, but if it does then he’s pretty ok at them
Twilight: not the best at it, but he can do them
Legend: you need to know at least a little bit about taxes to properly evade them
Four: runs his own blacksmithing business, he can do taxes
Warriors: close with the royal family and probably the most functional adult of the chain, he can do taxes

Twilight’s eyes were wide with distress. He opened his mouth twice before speaking. “Is that another Link?”
The child on the beach coughed and spluttered, buffeted by the tide. Their small hands sunk into the waterlogged sand before they managed to crawl toward the nearest palm tree. A fairy hovered nearby, its aura dim with unease.
“That’s… me,” Time croaked. In his satchel, he felt the pulse of the Zora Mask—an eddy, salt-rich and so, so mournful. There was a similar feeling from the child on the beach. “I don’t know how, but that’s me.”
Warriors took a deep breath as if to speak. Haltingly, he began, “He looks like you. As I remember you, I mean.”
“What do you mean, remember?” Sky asked. “You knew each other before?”
“Not exactly,” Warriors answered when Time could not. The child on the beach began to sob.
“Why are we just standing here?” Wild asked quietly, his feet rooted all the same. “We should be helping him. We should, right?”
Anxiously, Time reached for his ocarina. The color was faded after so many years. “I don’t… I don’t think we can.”
“Why not?” Legend asked, grief and kindness poorly hidden beneath a scowl. “He’s hurt. He’s hurting. You’re…” He cleared his throat. “You’re just a baby.”
The child on the beach struggled to pull himself together. He covered his head with his arms and asked ‘why’. The Oceanside Spider House lay like a tomb ahead of him.
“This is the third day,” Time told them hollowly. His stomach rolled and rolled and rolled. He fought the urge to double over. “We can’t interfere.”
Wind glanced between child and adult. “But what if—”
“We can’t,” Time said again, searching the sky for that haunting grimace. The ground rumbled tellingly. “People will die. It has to happen this way.”
A portal opened behind them, promising a new world. “This is cruel,” Warriors muttered, more furious than any of the others had ever seen him. “There’s no point to this but cruelty.”
In the end, the nine heroes left Termina without truly entering it—tourists to what had happened during some brief moment in time within time within… time. They glimpsed a broken child and left him to his fate.
The child did not notice. He panicked, then he carried on.
A threat to Earth has landed, kinda near Amity Park, and Superman...was slapped with Kryptonite.
The aliens came prepared.
Danny can't come out and do his thing, because the GIW (opportunistic rats that they are) are sniffing around the area for any sign of Phantom.
So.
He quietly overshadows Superman.
Immediately there's a cacophony of shouting in his ear as Danny gets a first row seat to the pure Panic and Chaos that is fighting off a random alien invasion.
Okay.
Alright.
The Comm is clearly for Superman to talk to the others of the team, given the massive migraine Danny can feel coming up just from borrowing this body. He also, completely against his will, now knew from experience just how far Superman's hearing reached.
It was pretty fucking far and he was hearing things he Did Not Want To.
Danny struggles to his feet as Superman and puts up a hand to the comm. There's no point in lying to Superman's teammates, after all.
Batman at least would figure out what's going on.
"Hey, first things first I'm not Superman. Second things second I'm here to help. I just can't be out about it, cuz of the law. Where do you need me?"
The comms fall silent.
"Is Superman alive?" Batman asks, voice all gravelly and really, how does the man talk like that all the time? Doesn't it hurt?
"Yeah, he's just unconscious; I'll head out when he wakes up."
"...What is your powerset?"
