Guilty

Danny Phantom / Teen Titans

Rated T for violence and some swearing.

I do not own Danny Phantom or Teen Titans.

Summary: All of the evidence points to Danny, and he even confessed to the crime. But Robin is convinced that Danny is innocent. So why would Danny confess to murder if he didn't do it?

Chapter 1: Confession

3:36 AM

The sound of papers flipping was the only noise to be heard in the empty, gray room. The light on the ceiling was dull to say the least. Sitting cross legged against the wall was a teenage boy with black hair, a mask to cover his eyes and a red and green outfit. His eyes were narrowed as he scanned through the file opened up in his hand. With a free hand, the boy ran his fingers through his hair, letting out a sigh of frustration.

The door located on the other side of the room opened with a loud creak. "Any luck yet, Robin?" A girl about his age walked in, she wore a long purple cloak that covered her entire body, her equally purple hair was cropped just below her ears.

The boy known as Robin shook his head, "I can't figure this guy out at all." He closed the folder and placed it on the ground beside him. "What time is it? Shouldn't you be at the tower, Raven?"

"I could say the same to you." Raven spoke with an even, monotone voice, "you've been here all night."

"Has he talked at all yet?"

"No. He hasn't said anything."

Robin snarled and stood up. His legs felt weak, having had them crossed for several hours straight. He picked up the folder and walked out of the room with Raven trailing behind him. "It's been eight hours! Why hasn't anyone gotten him to say anything! We're wasting time!"

"They've tried, Robin." Raven calmly replied.

The two of them walked down the short hallway from the room, passing by several similar doors as they went. Even though Robin was striding very quickly down the hallway, Raven was able to keep up with him.

"Well, they haven't tried hard enough!"

"Robin, you need to calm down," Raven put her hand on Robin's shoulder and stopped walking, forcing Robin to stop as well. "Getting frustrated won't help the situation."

"If this guy is really responsible for all of this, then we need to get him to talk to us! We need to find those missing people! They could be dead!" Robin shook her hand off of his shoulder and walked a few more feet, reaching his destination. He opened the door and walked in.

This room was a bit larger than the last one Robin was in, and this one had a table with a chair. Sitting in the chair was another teenage boy not much younger than him, the boy's hands were resting on the table in front of him, large cuffs wrapped around his wrists. The hand-cuffs he wore were not the typical hand-cuffs, they were much larger and thicker. As well as keeping the boy's hands bound, they also worked as a device to neutralize his powers.

The cuffed teen looked up at Robin for a brief moment before lowering his gaze to the table once more.

Robin walked to the table and put his hands down on it, leaning forward a bit. "I read your records, you have a very interesting report from the Amity Park Police Department. Over there you're labeled Public Enemy Number 1. So how is it that you can be an enemy and still try to play hero?"

The boy before him had a very strange appearance, he wore a black and white suit and had white hair with green eyes.

"How can you think to call yourself a hero!" Robin grit his teeth. He himself was considered a hero by the city and it disgusted him to think a hero could do something so horrible. "You're sick!"

The white haired teen looked up with narrowed eyes.

Robin threw the file down onto the table and opened it. He spread out the pictures in front of the teen. Each one was a close up face of a person. There were four pictures altogether. "All four of these people are missing. And you're going to tell me where they are." He pulled out a few more pictures, "and you're going to also tell me why you killed these people!"

"Figure it out." The white haired teen taunted.

Robin clenched his fist and reached across the table, grabbing the boy by the edge of his suit just below his neck and pulled him up out of his seat, bringing him closer to his face, "This isn't a game! Three people are dead! Four are missing!"

"I'm aware of that fact." He coldly replied.

"Why did you do it?"

There was a moment of silence before the white haired teen replied "we all do bad stuff once in a while." He looked directly at Robin with his glowing green eyes, "If I remember correctly, you have a history of doing many horrible things."

"I would never kill someone!" Robin barked, tightening his grip on the boy's suit. "I protect people! I save lives, I don't take them! You on the other hand have failed both as a hero and a human being! You'll pay for what you did!"

The teen boy bit his lip before replying, "you don't know anything about me!" He pulled back from Robin's grip and kicked the table between them. The table hit Robin's upper legs and he stumbled a bit before regaining his balance. Then, the white haired teen jumped over the table, kicking Robin in the stomach.

Robin wasn't able to avoid the attack, his back hit the wall. Robin quickly grabbed his bo-staff and extended it to full length.

The cuffed boy continued his advance despite the fact that his enemy now had a weapon. It was stupid of him to try. The surprise attack may have worked, but now that Robin was fully prepared for him, the boy was at a disadvantage.

The bo-staff was swung low, striking the teen in the leg and a split second later he was hit on the side of the head with the staff. Danny went with the blow, letting out a gasped cry of pain before crashing into the floor. His eyes were no longer focused, a splitting headache pounded through his skull.

Danny lay on his back and Robin placed his foot on Danny's chest, pressing him to the floor with enough force to hurt the teen but not break his ribs. Danny blinked several times, his eyes still trying to adjust.

"Let me ask you one thing. Did you really kill those people?"

Danny breathed in and out heavily then opened his mouth to speak, "yes."

7:00 pm (approximately 8 hours previous)

"Beast Boy, are you not feeling well?" An alien girl with orange skin, red hair and green eyes leaned down to talk to the young boy lying on the grass.

The small, green skinned boy with pointed ears had his tongue hanging out of the side of his mouth, his small fangs could be seen from his open mouth. "I can't take the smell…" he groaned. No matter what shape he took, his sense of smell was far times greater than an average human's sense of smell. "I can't go any further."

Several yards ahead of them, a group of police and detectives of all sorts were observing the crime scene.

The oldest of the group as well as the tallest walked up to Beast Boy "you won't want to go there anyway, man." Cyborg was just as his name implied, he was mostly made of metal, but half of his original face could be seen.

"How bad is it" Beast Boy looked toward Cyborg.

"Pretty bad."

The alien girl known as Starfire curiously looked up at Cyborg, "how bad is 'pretty bad'."

"I mean, as in, I don't even want to go over there. It almost looks like a creature of some sort ripped them apart. But, from what I've heard over there, it looks like this was a person who did it."

"Oh, but who could do such an awful thing!" Starfire sadly lowered her head.

"I dunno, Star." Cyborg replied.

From the scene of the crime, Robin marched over to the three of them, looking as serious as ever. "Beast Boy, we could use your help."

The green boy recoiled as their leader got closer. The stench of the corpses could be smelled on Robin since he had been close to them. "I dunno if I can get any closer, dude!" He whined, "the smell will make my pass out!"

"Hold your breath then." Robin barked, "this is serious Beast Boy, we need to do all we can. We found a young girl and we think she might have seen the person who did this, but she's too scared to speak and I thought you might be able to talk to her."

"Why me?" Beast Boy inquired.

"Young girls like animals, right?"

"I think she might be scared if an animal started talking to her." Cyborg pointed out. "Why not have Star go talk to her."

Starfire's eyes lit up, "I will gladly accept your request!"

Sitting in the back seat of an ambulance, a young girl no older than eight years had a blanket wrapped around her body, her eyes were wide and glossy with fear. Her brown hair reached just below her shoulders and the young girl wore a simple pair of jeans and a purple shirt.

Starfire was brought up to the ambulance by Robin, who then stopped a few feet away to give the two girls some space.

"Hello," the alien greeted with a smile, "my name is Starfire. May I sit here, please?"

The girl shakily nodded her head and Starfire sat.

"Can you tell me your name?"

"A-Alyssa." The girl replied.

"That's a wonderful name." Starfire warmly said, "I'm from the planet Tamaran. Where is your home?"

Alyssa pointed, "it's over that way…"

"Why is it that you have come out here at this late hour?" Starfire inquired.

"I-I was looking for my kitty, Katie. And then I ended up here…" Alyssa wrapped the blanket tighter around her body, "will the scary person come back here?"

"Of course not. My friends and I shall protect you from danger." Starfire placed a hand on the girl's shoulder, "do you think you could describe the scary person for me? Do not be afraid. My friend wishes to know of their appearance."

Alyssa bit her lip and trembled, but opened her mouth to speak softly, "Th-they were wearing a black outfit I think. It's dark though…so it was hard to see. They had glowy hands. And…they had white hair."

At this information, Robin narrowed his eyes. There weren't many people wandering around that looked like that. Immediately, in his mind, he thought of all the criminal files he had gone through in the past, but none of them fit that description.

"They were flying too." The young girl added.

"That's odd." A girl had come up to stand next to Robin and had happened to hear the conversation. The girl wore a long cloak that covered her entire body, her hood was pulled back to show her face which revealed short purple hair and large eyes that were also purple. "I do know of someone who fits that description."

Robin raised an eyebrow at his teammate Raven.

Robin and Raven walked over to Cyborg's car which had a computer built into it. Robin quickly looked up the name that Raven told him, "Danny Phantom." His eyes widened a bit at the picture he saw of Amity Park's superhero. "This is our guy?"

==0==0==0==

The rain poured down on the young ghost teen, he sat on a bench in this foreign city and leaned forward with his elbows resting on his knees and his forehead placed in his palms. "I'm so sorry." He whimpered to himself, still in shock and feeling nauseas.

"Hey!" A voice barked at him.

Danny brought his head up and looked at the five people standing about twenty feet away. Each of them was just as soaked as Danny was.

"You're Danny Phantom right?"

He didn't answer, he just lowered his head once more.

The leader, Robin, marched forward until he was a mere foot away from Danny, "I asked you a question! Are you Danny Phantom!" When there was no answer again, Robin continued, "I'm going to ask you to stand up and come with us. We have a few questions for you." Robin waited for a moment, "did you hear me?"

Danny grit his teeth with fury before standing up. He raised his head, glaring menacingly at Robin. Danny didn't understand why he was so angry at this person, maybe it wasn't this person, but in general, he was furious.

Robin narrowed his eyes and reached for his bo-staff.

At this action, Danny instinctively lunged forward before Robin could grab his weapon. He raised his right arm, charging it with bright green ectoenergy and punched at his opponent. Danny's eyes began to shine an even brighter green.

Robin back flipped away from Danny, avoiding the oncoming punch and then quickly brought out his bo-staff. "Titans, go!" He barked.

Each teammate jumped into action.

Danny looked left and right. The group of teens had formed a large circle around him and the leader of their group. He could see a strange orange girl with her eyes and hands glowing green much like his own. A girl wearing a purple cloak had a black mass of energy surrounding her. The small green boy had morphed into a green rhino. Lastly, the oldest of the group, the man made of mostly metal had his hands change into two giant blasting guns which hummed with energy, ready to fire.

"You definitely fit the description." Robin growled, "and from the way your behaving I think it's safe to say that you're the guy we're after."

Danny snarled and rocketed forward at the leader once more. Robin was ready for his attack. Just as Danny was about to crash into him, Robin side stepped out of the way so that Danny began to go past him. However, Robin reared his bo-staff back and swung it at the ghost boy.

The white haired teen felt the bo-staff slam into his stomach and it threw him backward several feet where he then crashed to the ground, skidding to a stop. Heaving in and out, Danny forced himself back onto his feet.

Robin looked down at his bo-staff and his eyes widened at the blood smear. "You have blood on you." He said to Danny, "I didn't notice it at first since your outfit is mostly black." At closer inspection, he could see that some of the white parts of Danny's outfit were stained red.

The rain continued to pour down upon them. If there hadn't been any rain, Robin would have been able to see the tears rolling down Danny's face.

The ghost boy made a quick jump into the air to gain the higher ground and began to repeatedly throw beams down at them.

A punch was driven into Danny's back, sending him plummeting down. His body collided with the cement, sending painful waves through his entire being. Starfire stayed in the air in case Danny tried to go above the ground once more.

"Stay down or we'll keep attacking!" Robin ordered.

Ignoring his words completely, Danny pushed himself up and wiped away the blood that dropped from his mouth. A blue beam was shot from Cyborg's guns. The teen countered the attack with one of his own beams.

I won't be caught here…I can't! Danny stood firmly, facing the group and he inhaled deeply.

Beast Boy's animal instincts screamed into him, "guys! Cover your ears!" He morphed into his original form and wrapped his hands around his pointed ears.

The others weren't quick enough to heed his warning. Danny released the ghostly wail built up in his throat. The green sonic waves crashed into them, literally pushing them backward.

Starfire fell from the air, her hands trying to block her ears from the painful wail.

"R-Raven!" Robin gasped, his head feeling like it would break into two, "cover him!"

Raven nodded, grinding her teeth together from the pain.

A black hand made of magic came up from the ground behind Danny and wrapped around him, closing over his mouth to stop the wail. Two more black hands came up, one grabbed onto his feet and the other grabbed his upper body to keep his arms secured.

A moment later, Danny released a muffled scream of agony as energy from the hands was poured into his system, blocking off his powers almost entirely. The hands vanished from sight and Danny fell to the ground, clawing viciously at his chest and stomach. The foreign energy that had taken a hold of his body was painful, it made him feel like he was drowning and choking.

Danny could only gasp helplessly for breath as he fell unconscious.

-Present-

Danny leaned against the wall while Robin stood across the room with his arms folded on his chest. After their little fight a minute ago, Robin felt it was best to stay a distance from the kid. "You weren't giving your all last night, were you?"

At this, Danny looked up at Robin with confusion.

"Last night, when you fought us, you seemed too desperate and your attacks were sloppy. Why is that?"

"You ask too many questions." Danny muttered.

"Because I want answers."

"Give up. I won't talk." Danny replied.

The door leading to the room opened and Raven stepped inside. Danny immediately scurried across the wall to get further away from Raven.

"Why are you so scared of Raven?" Robin asked.

"Keep her away!" Danny barked.

Raven walked over to Robin, "the results of the blood came back from the lab. They were able to find the blood of the victims and another persons blood. We don't know who it is though."

Robin brought his hand up and ran it through his hair with frustration.

Raven glanced over at Danny then turned to Robin once more, "go take a break for a bit, I'll talk to him." She whispered quietly enough that Danny couldn't hear her.

Robin raised an eyebrow at her suggestion, "really? That doesn't seem like you."

"Whether it's like me or not, we need to get to the bottom of this investigation."

The teen leader nodded and left Raven there with Danny, leaving the room and closing the door behind him.

Raven took a few more steps toward Danny but was still quite far away and gently lowered herself down to sit with her legs crossed. She closed her eyes and sat completely still.

After at least ten minutes of absolute silence, Danny spoke up, "why are you in here? Aren't you going to overload me with questions like that other guy?"

Raven opened one eye to look at him but quickly closed it again, "you seem to be talking more now." She said calmly. "I wanted to talk to you alone for a reason," she continued, her eyes still closed as though she were asleep "when I use my powers on something or someone, I get a small feel for what that person is thinking or feeling."

At this, Danny's eyes widened with horror but he said nothing.

"When I used my powers on you, just briefly I could tell that you were afraid, or rather, terrified of something." Raven opened her eyes fully to look at the white haired teen, "I could feel it inside of you, you have a strong will to live and fight for others. I know someone who is exactly like you in that sense. Danny Phantom, protector and hero of Amity Park, I only have one question…did you kill those people."

Danny looked into her purple eyes with a fierce glare, "…Yes."

Raven sighed and stood up, swiftly walking out of the room without another word. She closed the door behind her and leaned her back against it, thinking about the situation.

After only a few moments, something caught her attention. Raven stood up straight and faced the door. Inside of the room she could hear quiet choking sobs. Why? She thought to herself, You couldn't have done this, there's no way…so why do you keep saying yes? Why do you keep telling us that you killed all of those people? Raven turned away from the door and left.

A/N: So, how'd you like the first chapter? This is my first time writing something other than Danny Phantom, I hope I didn't butcher the TT characters too much. Criticism is welcomed! Please tell me what I can do to improve!
