This is a small fan art made by one of my favorite readers (Gowther98 ) and I simply couldn't leave it hidden in my gallery so here it is.

Enjoy the new chapter📚🥂

"Everyone in position?" Batman's voice rang through the comm. Answers came right away, everyone eager to have it over already. The batfamily was set up around the center where was the highest chance of meeting the ghost. To an untrained eye, the soft glow in the sky would slip but the batfamily caught it. It was a sign that their enemy was on his way, right where they wanted him to be.

Soon, a flying figure could be seen hovering over the city. To a normal person, the flying being would look like a superhero who was looking for any danger but the real heroes knew better.

"Target is lowering, be prepared," Red Robin's voice announced to the whole batfamily via comms. They all had their weapons ready and loaded, aiming at the nothing suspecting ghost.

"100 yards."

"50 yards."

Red Robin was cut off in the middle of his counting with someone singing. Just then he realized that the song came from above, from the ghost. As he listened closer, he could hear the words.

"Do you hear that..." he whispered into his comm to let his family know.

Tonight, I'm gonna have myself a real good time.
I feel alive and the world I'll turn it inside out, yeah.
And floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time, having a good time

As the first words of paragraph were sung, the whole batfamily recognized the song as Don't stop me now from Queen.

I'm a shooting star, leaping through the sky
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car, passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go, go, go
There's no stopping me
I'm burnin' through the sky, yeah
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm traveling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you

"I know you're there." Dan said as he stopped singing. Nightwing knew there was no point in hiding as he could hear their heartbeats. As he stepped out, he got a full view of their enemy, floating carelessly next to their hiding spots.

"Why the song?" Red Robin asked the older ghost in a mix of curiosity and wariness. The only villain who actually sang on the battlefield was the Music Meister and only with the purpose of hypnosis.

"It suits this situation." The ghost replied as he was talking to an old friend.

"Don't hurt them Dan, please..." Danny pleaded, being fully aware of his ghost half's intentions. As always, the boy has been only laughed at.

"You think you can stop me with those ectoranium weapons?" Phantom asked his opponents, being able to feel the green radiation surrounding him. When he stood far enough, it couldn't hurt him and that's why he kept his distance.

The battle was going suspiciously quiet without any actual fight. They were just staring at each other, waiting for their opponent to make the first move.

"I'm getting bored and it's you fault." Dan states and then looked at the streets below. There weren't many people, just few curious by passers who certainly had a death wish when they stood in the eyesight of Phantom. A small beam of energy appeared on Phantom's hand, making everyone around tense up. In a blink of an eye, the green ray was shot down at the streets, aiming for an unsuspecting person walking below.
