Chapter 1
Superman
Metropolis, Delaware
Clark Kent and his wife Lois were sitting at one of the finer restaurants of Metropolis, Il Oca D'oro. They had both earned this little break from reporting and saving the day. They just finished a fine Peppered Shrimp Alfredo with a good Pinot Gris and were discussing dessert and another, more important subject. "You're ready to do this? You're really ready to help train Danny Phantom?" Lois asked him. Clark nodded his head as he spied a good looking gelatin, "Yes, all the preparations have been made. While I'm gone teaching Danny, John and Kara will keep an eye on things here. I've set up the training courses, and I have a good idea on the lessons to teach him."
Lois nodded and looked at the gelatin he was considering, "But why do you have to teach him? Why not let Bruce or J'onn teach him?" They put their dessert menus away before Clark answered, "Control, Lois. Danny possesses a power whose destructive potential is comparable to a nuclear bomb. I know more about controlling my power than anyone else; I hope I can help teach him finer control of his own powers and how to use them for things other than beating up the ghosts that haunt his city. He has great potential, and I know that I can help him reach it."
"Uh-huh," Lois said as their waiter refilled their wine. "Does this mean he has to get a cape?" "Maybe," Clark joked and they raised their glasses, "To the next generation," Clark toasted.

Amity Park, Indiana
Danny and Sam were sitting on top of the Amity Park Water Tower, watching the city going on below them. It was one of the few places they could go without being harassed by Danny's fans, or so called 'news reporters' who were more like vultures. Danny snuck a glance at his girlfriend, today Sam had decided to let her hair down, it was a lot longer than he thought it was. "You're beautiful when you let your hair down," he told her. "You're just saying that so that I'll give you a kiss," Sam told him, then gave him a kiss like he wanted. Everything was going right today, no ghosts had shown up, Danny got a B on the History test today and an A- for an English project, Dash and his ilk hadn't bothered him in months, and Danny had managed to get Valerie on his side yesterday.
Danny lay back on the Tower and Sam said, "So, Mr. Hero, where are we going now?" Danny thought about it, "Uh, I don't know, any movies look good?" Sam checked her phone and looked up what movies were playing at the Movie Theater online. "Ooh, they got a documentary on Superman playing in 10 minutes," Sam said. Danny jumped up and went Ghost just as she finished and picked her up and flew straight for the Movie Theater. When they got there they spotted Tucker and Valerie walking out. "Hey guys," Tucker greeted them. "Hey Tuck, Val," Danny and Sam greeted in return, "What did you guys see?"
"We watched that new 'Action Jake' movie. Boy was that a mistake," Valerie told them. "It's true; it had the worst special effects I ever seen!" Tucker confirmed, "What are you guys gonna see?" "We're gonna see the Superman documentary," Danny told them as Sam went to get their tickets. "Oh, man, you gotta take us, you just gotta!" Tucker insisted. "Okay, fine," Sam said as she got two more tickets and the four teens went into the movie theater.
