Before I Forget

AN: I DON'T own DP or Xmen. PS Danny is 16 in this. It is after Dark Pariah.

Danny's POV

I sat in my room, strumming the chords to Good Riddance by Green Day. I heard my dad staggering around and yelled for me to come to him.

I knew what he was going to do all too well. He does it every day.

He gets up, stares at a picture of Mom and Jazz, then goes and gets drunk, comes back and beats me. Ever since then, the ghosts have stopped coming and Tucker and Sam have left me. I guess that they were friends with me after the accident just to keep themselves safe. I don't blame 'em.

I walked down the stairs to find Jack more drunk than ever. He started beating me with whatever he could find. I knew that if I reacted then he'd grab his pistol he keeps on him. After thirty minutes of getting hit, Jack just gave up and walked to his room.

I don't know what told me to do it, but I ran upstairs, changed clothes, grabbed my bag with all of my ghost hunting gear and turned into Danny Phantom. I flew from Amity all the way to Chicago. A 50 mile trip in all.

I landed in one of the bathrooms in O'Hare International and changed back to Danny Fenton. I walked out side and kept walking down the sidewalks.

Two weeks later

I walked into the city of Bayville. It has been at least two weeks since I last ate. The homeless shelters are crawling with social services workers. They'd take me to either Vlad or Jack. I don't like the idea of either of them raising me.

I ended up in the local park. I found a bench and laid down on it.

I was woken up by some guy that looked around my age saying "You ok kid?" I tried to get up and run. He must have noticed that I haven't had anything to eat in a long time because he said "It's ok. Come with me, I'll get you some food and shelter for the night."

Scott's POV

I took the kid into the mansion with me. Logan saw me walk in with him "Who's the kid" he asks me in his gruff voice. I nodded him off and brought the kid into the dining room while I prepared him some food,

Storm brought up the Professor and they sat in the dining room. We all sat in silence. The professor and I had a mental conversation,

The Professor broke the silence "So you have powers, Mr. Fenton?" Danny looked shocked and startled. "Uhh, no, I'm just a normal boy" he lied through his teeth.

"Anyways, this is Professor X, Storm, Logan, and I'm Scott. We all have powers." Professor X then said "I am a telepath, that's how I read your mind. You were thinking about what to do if something happens."

Danny's POV

I guess that if all of the people in this room have powers, I can show them, right? I thought to myself. I stood up and said "I'll show you."

I turned into Danny Phantom. "I change into an alter ego, can fly, turn invisible, intangible, and shoot ecto-blasts from my hands." I stopped there. If I revealed anymore powers, I could be doomed from the start.

Professor X asked me "Would you like to stay here and develop you abilities with my other students?" I agreed. Scott took me up the stairs to meet everyone else.

He introduced me to a redheaded girl named Jean, a really pretty girl who went by Kitty, a weird blue dude with an awesome accent, and a goth girl with hair that was brown with a white bangs.

I asked "What can you all do?" Jean started saying "I'm a telepath, Kurt is blue and can teleport, Kitty can walk through walls…" I interrupted her "I can do that" I said with a smirk Kitty smiled at me and Jean continued "Rogue can absorb memories and life-energy when you touch her." Rogue's power sounded more like a curse, but I couldn't believe it,

"Show me, Rogue. Touch me. I doubt anything could happen." She pulled her glove off and touched me before Jean or Scott could object.

Nothing happened to me or her. I wasn't surprised. Everyone else was. I had to explain, "She absorbs life energy. I'm half- dead." They all look at me like im crazy. I turned into Danny Phantom and said "I am half ghost. This is my ghost form, which is where all of my powers come from and I can only shoot stuff from this form. I can walk through walls, turn invisible, and fly while in my human form."
