Hello. Nice to see you. This is a Author note.

I didnt write in forever, you can see that if you check my profile. But I did roleplay a lot and with the years I focused on roleplaying I learned quite a bit when it came down to writing. Well this story is special to me as it is the first one I truly plan for. Have notes and references and have scenes for later chapters written out. Even a list of places and cities. Fitting it all to make chapters.

Well this story was born to relive some of my exam stress, thats what happens when you overdose your brain on numerical methods. Your brain gives you this super amazing story world that want to be written out. And so this story started to happen.

First time writing for the DP fandom, so hopefully the characters are okay written. If you ask me the gender of the story? Pretty much adventure covers it. What I want to do with this story is try out the style where I just hint information to later revel more and more. So keep in mind when you read this story nothing is said with out reason, and everything is connected. So the whole picture of what is happening comes later. If you are confused than I will grin. And if you demand to know more now I will giggle happily.

WARNING:

There maybe some chapters with more pseudo science but thats because it goes with the relevant character in the chapter. I will try not to over kill it and make it understandable.

There arent really parings. I will stick with Sam and Danny having feeling for each other but not openly speak of them or even realize them in Danny case. Doesnt mean they will not end up being teased because even Jack sees Sam and Danny like each other.

Rating: T is because of violence and such in later chapters.

And second to last warning I am not having a Beta for this story. If you notice grammar and spelling mistake do not shy of pointing them out and how they should be fixed. If you want to be a beta pm me.

Last thing this first chapter is actually Chapter zero and the A/N will not be this long in the following chapters.

Disclamer: Dont own DP

Enjoy!

Clockwork was also known under many other names. The master of Time, Grim reaper, Angel of Death etc. Ghosts think of him as a legend. He is like a myth, never to been seen in the flow of time. Just like any legend many parts do not fit, some parts even contradict each other. Clockwork himself knew all the legends about himself very well.

'He is the single most powerful ghost.' Its a nice praise, but he wouldnt call himself most powerfully it doesnt do well for the ego.

'He controls the time stream' More like he observed it and occasionally push it in the right direction.

'He existed from the first moment of the ghost zone.' Well thats just plain wrong. He existed way before the ghost zone. A knowing smirk rested on his face. In front of him were the many viewing portals. Many faces flashed, but a lot of them were the Fentons and Dannys friends. Masters face flickered over the portals too, on occasion.

He turned away from those portal passing a thermos, he only spared a glance to was silent for the moment. Must be asleep the ghost of time thought to himself. Clockwork reached a different portal. This one had lot more gears clicking around its rim, it looked like a viewing portal but it gave a different vibe, nearly as if it wasnt really there to begin with. The vibe of not really belonging in the space it occupied.

He placed his hand on the surface. Moments passed before it flickered to life. Focusing on the two halfas sharing a meal on the table. Switching quickly to, Danny best friend surrounded by wolfs looking down at him. Switching anew to Maddie Fenton not wearing her trademark jump suit while standing under a jolly roger. Samantha was next, eating ice cream with Freakshow and a hooded figure.
Jack appeared next holding a self build gun and running down a war field. The image quickly faded away to make room for Jasmine in a garden with a sword in her hand attacking a priest. The flickering stopped once a man with chocolate eyes was doing paper work in his office.

This figure made Clockwork smile softly. It was plainly wrong to belief that he existed as long as the ghost zone. Especially when once he was just a simple human doing ah so boring paper work, too. The word simple was a bit of a stretch. His time alive was anything but simple. He stopped the time and reached with his ghost hand into the scene. Moving the coffee cup for two inches to the left... He grinned more evilly as he moved everything on the table two inches left. He moved his hand out the scene and let the time flow.

The cup was soon on the floor and the mortal man was cursing as he ruined a document by writing in the wrong place. At least he wasnt bored anymore...either of them. The ghost carried a amused smile, for his mischief deed.

Heavy sigh left the ghost as the image flickered away from that scene to settle into blackness. The portal was more and more active. With each day the portal would be easier to use. He floated away from it. It didnt mean anything good, it was too early to go in that world yet again, still really soon time would come when it will be ready. When the portal will be stable enough for someone to be actually using it to cross to the other side. A soft voice laughed at him, enjoying the worry on the powerfully ghost face. Of course he would laugh. The master of time stopped by the thermos, it reminded him of those owners who had deadly pets in the terrarium and if they by chance escape they could ah so easily be the death of the owner. Like a deadly pissed off snake. Just like that, at least the master of time mused he didnt have to feed dead rats to the inhabitant of the thermos. That was a plus.

''I always preferred dogs more, they are able to learn sit and play dead.'' He commented to the thermos which shock insulted in response.

The normal portals came to life and Clockwork moved away from the thermos towards them, one scene made him look curiously at it. A woman and a man were having a debate. The tone didnt set in properly until moments later.

''You know what! Be it your way! Cheaters will be punished by karma! I just hope I will have the privilege of watching when it happens!''

The woman slapped the man and the image shifted to her leaving the house with a bag of her belongings. Clockwork frowned.

''Karma...''

He turned to look over his shoulder as if awaiting someone to stand there. No one was there, but he felt watched. Watched by his own portals, by the time he so deeply cared about.

''I cheated...''

He spoke to himself in a voice that barely reached his own ears. His red eyes settled at the proof of his cheating. The thermos idly sitting there. One could fell the anger dripping from it. The portals flickered to the past and to Danny with the CAT events, it took its sweat time showing the events from Clockwork prospective. It ended with the talk master of time had with the observers. Lingering on the scene where he was holding the thermos. ''...karma...dont do anything rash... '' The portal with the decorative cogs flickered to life on its own and changed images so fast that they were all but a blur even to the time stopping ghost.

''... I suppose you are coming in for a visit much faster than I awaited. I dont think you will call it even if I serve cookies and tea?''

Clockwork said to himself watching how the future started to play on his portals. The invention, the explosion, Dash operating the ghost shield on top of the Fenton building. He sighed. Hands playing with his staff in a manner only very few could tell were a sign of nervousness. He will have to take countermeasures to minimize the upcoming havoc. ''Time out'' He will need time to think of those measures first. But at least the time for thinking he always had enough off...for now.
