It has been years since Danny has last seen actual sunlight. He barely remembers his family and friends; that never came to get him from this hell. He barely remembers his human body they had taken that from him. It was the last experiment of the first year. They never told him what went wrong but they tried fusing something with his core and, as a result, he turned into something no longer human, but not ghostly either; no one understood it. After that, the experiments got worse, for a while. After the third year, they relaxed a little. It had been seven years and he has yet to age, to change, to be human again.
Danny howls in sorrow as painful memories fill his mind. He hates them! Who do they think they are?! They took everything from him!
Danny slowly quiets and calms down and rests his muzzle against his white paws, his long tail curls around him in comfort. He lets a single tear roll down his black and white fur as he realizes just how hopeless his life is.
Danny's body is not human. He is a dog; a wolf to be exact. Yet he still has a human mind, ghostly abilities and new powers, as well. He is black with white patterns on his fur. His eyes are different, too. One is blue while the other is green. His body can change color; just like how he used to change from ghost to human. Only now it just switches his color scheme. It scared him at first when he couldn't turn back, but over the years he got used to it. After all, what other choice did he have. He could still see the scars that littered his canine body. In his white form they are red but in his black form they are green which confused him at first but he figured it had to do with his original halfa status.
Danny sighs and finally looks up as the soft beep alerts him to the change of shifts coming up. This is his chance. He stands up and yanks his paws till the chains break then, howls. His ghostly wail has changed to fit his form. Green/Black waves of sound filled with sorrow hit the door and the people behind it. He leaps through the hole and pads down the hall, quickly taking a right and then a left before finding himself at the doors to the courtyard. He takes a few steps back before running full speed at the glass and slamming into it. It shatters sending him tumbling through. Standing up slowly, blood drips from cuts on his body as he pants softly.
They come out after him. He can see them as they shout out orders to each other. Agents K and O are in front. Danny starts running again before shifting to his white form. He jumps up and flies over the walls before shifting back to black just before hitting the ghost shield. He slides right through and lands roughly on the ground. He gets back up and starts running, ignoring the pain and fear that tries to make itself known. He can see the moon glowing high above him and it comforts him while at the same time gives him the strength to keep going.
He doesn't know where he's going but anywhere is better than being with them. He is free. After seven years... he is finally outside and free. A small smile curves his lips upward, giving a glimpse of sharp fangs and green blood that slowly drips from his mouth.
Days later
Young Justice
Batman gives the team a mission to investigate a weird energy reading coming from Bluefield, West Virginia. The town is surrounded by wooded area and apparently had been reporting weird sounds and odd sightings of a strange animal appearing in the streets at night. Confused as to why they were assigned the mission, they follow orders since no one questions Batman. They travel in the bio ship straight to the forest surrounding the town and land nearby but out of sight. It starts to get dark by the time they get there. Hopefully it will be a fast mission but of course nothing is ever simple.
Danny's POV
Danny runs through the forest terrified. They are here. They found him, again. Every night he went into town just trying to keep them from catching him but they were closing in and the forest could only protect him during the day. He growls as night comes and he takes off toward town almost running into a group of teens. He tries to turn and go around them but his weakened body can't handle the sudden change and slams sideways into a tree. He whimpers softly before, slowly, getting to his feet. They are right behind him. He can't rest, not yet. He can feel someone coming closer. He looks up and to the side to see a young boy with a black t-shirt with a large S on it. He tilts his head in confusion before a shot rings out and hits Danny in the side causing him to cry out in pain and fear. He stumbles slightly before taking off through the trees and running full speed to get away. Bleeding and tired he wants to stop but he's too scared to rest, he had to keep running.
Superboy POV
Superboy saw the animal as it came out of the trees. It tried to move so it wouldn't run into them. He watched it slams headfirst into a tree instead. He tries to get closer to the hurt and obviously tired animal. He gets pretty close, even after the creature notices him. It just looks at him curiously even taking a small step towards him before a shot rings out hitting the poor thing in the side. He watches it take off leaving a green trail of liquid. Superboy quickly takes off after it hearing his team shout at him to wait of course KF is running beside him in seconds. They know something isn't normal about this poor creature.
Danny POV
Danny finally falls his legs, his body throbbing in pain as he pants and whimpers thinking that this is it. This is how he would die. They will find him. Of that he is sure. He is doomed. That is 'till two kids enter the clearing. It's that boy... Danny looks at him tiredly and whimpers softly. His voice weak and scratchy, but to the surprise of both he speaks "He...help... me..." Danny flinches, whimpering again as the pain grows at his first attempt to speak in four years. He takes note not to try that again.
Ow.
