Chapter 1: Death of a Fenton - Rise of a Phantom Part 1

Shadow: I am Shadow the Hedgehog and I am the CyberActors15 representative and I have been tasked by CA15 to give you some information about this story. First of all this story will be a completely different take on the Danny Phantom series meaning none of the Danny Phantom episodes have taken place however there will be some noticeable changes that you should probably know. First of all Dani does exist from the beginning of this but not in the way you'd expect.

Dani: Really?

Shadow: Yes.

Dani: Cool.

Shadow: Also some character relationships will be different. Also readers as expected this story takes place in 2015 not 2004. Also readers CyberActors15 realised that he didn't really have any fanfictions where there was a female as the main character so he decided he would start it off with this story. And if it goes better than planned then expect for female starred stories in the future. Now for the Disclaimer, CA15 doesn't own Danny Phantom, me, or any Nickelodeon characters that might appear in this but he does own the OCs.

It had been a dark year for the Fentons during the year 2009. What happened was simple; there had been a death in the family.

Daniel James Fenton, also known as Danny, had been a simple eight year old boy without a care or a worry in the world. On the day of his sister's, Jazz Fenton's, tenth birthday he was shot and killed.

The tragedy of the story was that he died defending his sister.

They were walking home from a good day at their school, Casper Elementary, Danny was talking about the prank he and Tucker Foley pulled on their resident bully Dash Baxter while Jazz was halfway between laughing and scolding him for pulling a prank and getting caught.

As the two passed an alley while on their way to Fenton Works they hadn't expected prying eyes looking for fresh meat to play with. While passing in front of the alley a pair of hands grabbed Jazz and pulled her into the alley. Jazz was able to let out one good scream alerting Danny to her sister being in trouble.

Danny turned and stared into the alley where he saw some thug holding his sister while another with a gun waited behind him.

"Danny, run!" Jazz yelled as fear for both her life and her brothers crept into her voice.

"Yeah, little boy, do what your sister says and scram, I just want to have a bit of fun with her." The thug holding his sister said.

Now there was one thing about Danny that was his most prominent feature. It was that he had a hero complex. He always found himself wanting to protect others in any way he could but when it came to his family and his friends protecting them became the only goal that he accepted and would do anything for them.

Young Danny did something the two thugs hadn't expected, he ran forward at full tilt and jumped slightly higher than what was expected of an eight year old and gave a punch to the thug holding his sister. The force of the punch wasn't very strong but it was good enough to cause the guy to drop his sister.

The truth behind him being capable of attacking was because he had asked his mother some time ago to teach him to fight, simply because he thought it was cool and was at the level of a blue belt due to his ability to learn quickly.

The shock between the two thugs was enough to instigate an escape.

Jazz was quick to get up before she grabbed Danny and pulled him. Fear propelling her to move quickly.

The thug who had been punched was outraged by the fact that a kid punched him and didn't like the fact that those kids saw his face. He'd have to act quickly to ensure he remained out of prison. So he grabbed the gun from his partner and took aim and fired.

Jazz spared a second to look behind so see if they were being perused but what she saw was a gun and then next thing she knew a loud bang filled the area.

Everything seemed to go in slow motion at that moment as a green bullet flew through the air then right into Danny's leg. However the bullet didn't stop there as it tore straight through and into Jazz's leg.

A second shot was fired but this time Danny, though in pain, pushed Jazz out of the way as the bullet went right through his chest and out through his back.

A third shot was fired hitting the young boy once more in the chest region.

Danny fell onto the ground and watched as his blood flowed out of his body. He then looked to Jazz with sadness knowing that he'd never see her again but with happiness knowing he'd saved her life. Danny's icy blue eyes seemed to fade, as his skin grew pale and his clothes became soaked with blood.

Jazz watched as he closed his eyes, for what seemed to be the last time in his life.

At that moment Jazz began to cry and release all of her anguish and sorrow.

The two thugs seemed to be having a disagreement. The one who used to have a gun was pissed off, he didn't sign up for the killing of children and those bullets were for their upcoming robbery not the children of two scientists.

The other guy didn't care anymore about their plan anymore and only cared to fulfil his lustful desires. Kidnapping the Fenton kids had been the plan but now… now his plans were the girl.

The first thug decided that he didn't want to handle this mess so he fled back into the darkness of the alley however the one who now held the gun approached the child and her dead brother knowing that he'd still have his satisfaction.

He grabbed Jazz by the hair and lifted her up. Because she couldn't run due to being shot in the leg it would make this a lot easier for him.

"Now if you play nice, this won't hurt as much." He said as he aimed the gun to her head but a second after he did that another gun shot was heard.

"Put the girl down and step away." A policeman from APPD shouted.

The thug noticed the policemen and growled he then placed Jazz down before whispering in her here.

"Another time girl." He whispered into her ear.

He then moved away with his hands raised.

"Drop the gun now." The same policeman said.

"No the gun stays." The thug said with a cocky smirk.

He then pointed his gun and a light in the alley way and shot it, however what happened next was the surprising part. A large flash of light appeared as opposed to the light dying, and everyone was blinded from the light and once it cleared the thug was gone.

Jazz was left there crying next to her now deceased brother so the officer approached her slowly.

The police officer tried to help her but she wouldn't move from her brother so he tried another approach.

"Hey kid, what's your name?" the officer asked.

"Jazz… Jazz Fenton." Jazz said between sobs. "This is… or was my brother."

"Jazz, I'm Officer Alexander Gomez." Officer Gomez said. "I promise you we'll find the man who did this."

Jazz nodded in thanks while trying to control her tears.

Within a few hours of Jazz's leg had been patched up and she had been waiting in the Police Office with Alex Gomez for her parents to arrive. She had detailed the events of her brother's death perfectly and gave perfect descriptions of the two men she saw.

Officer Gomez tried to comfort her a little bit but that proved fruitless so he decided to give a bit of space to allow her time to recuperate. Seeing Jazz like this made him wonder what would happen to his daughter Danielle if something like this happened to her.

While Jazz was alone she quietly sang the Happy birthday song but in a different way.

"Happy Death Day to you
Happy Death Day to you
Happy Death Day dear Danny
Happy Death… day to you."

She sang this quietly over and over as she fought the tears in her eyes.

"Don't cry. Just smile and have a happy birthday Jazz." An echo of a voice said.

She looked up and there, almost invisible but still invisible, smiling at her was the raven haired, blue eyed boy that she'd come to know for the past eight years. He still in that stupid white shirt with a red oval and collar that he loved to wear. Still in his blue shorts that he wore in case he could go swimming and wearing those same red converse all-stars shoes.

There smiling at her while looking almost like a ghost was her baby brother Danny.

~00000~

(AN: Hey guys CA15 here sorry if reading that part put a bit of a damper on your emotions. But let's be honest an eight year old boy just died, an eight year old boy that has been the main character of the series this fanfiction was based off of. Even I began to tear up as I wrote this first part but don't worry where there's darkness there will always be light.)

The following six years after Danny's death were different for the Fenton Family. The first two years, the death of Danny was an emotional scar on the Fenton Family.

Because Jazz had witnessed the murder her young mind could not comprehend it so her brain had created an apparition or an imaginary friend that was essentially Danny well that's what it seemed anyway. After regular visits to a psychiatrist Jazz eventually stopped seeing this apparition. When she had suggested the possibility that what she saw was one of the ghosts her parents studied she was shot down immediately. Turns out her parents believed that ghosts were too evil for Danny to have become one.

The third and fourth years were better as the Fenton were able to put Danny's death in the past when Danny's killer had been shot by Officer Alex Gomez, who had also been keeping in touch with the Fentons. Their lives were able to become almost normal again, well as normal as a house filled with two ghost hunters could become, however Jazz still had a bit of fear when it came to leaving her house or walking alone.

By the time the fifth and sixth year it seemed every problem that had been awakened had been taken care off. Jazz's fear had been taken care off, she was back to being her usual cheerful self almost 24/7. She could even celebrate her birthday without crying for Danny's death.

And now today was her 16th birthday. Now she was officially sixteen and could reap the rewards that came with this age, one of which included getting a car to compliment her driver's licence. There was also one thing she looked forward to, her sweet sixteenth on Saturday. Sure Jazz wasn't like the other girls who obsessed over their looks and extravagant parties but a sweet sixteenth was a sweet sixteenth as you only turned sixteen once.

Jazz awoke with a big grin as her alarm went off. Most people hated waking up in the morning but this Perky-Polly of a Fenton loved waking up early and seeing the words 'the early bird gets the worm' on one of her inspirational posters.

"Good morning world." Jazz said with a sigh of content.

She hopped out of her bed and began getting ready for the day.

While she sat in front of her mirror as she brushed her hair a blue wisp of cold air escaped from her mouth giving her a bit of a chill. She thought that perhaps it might be cold outside but before she could contemplate further she heard an echo of a voice.

"Happy Birthday Jazz."

In the mirror Jazz could see an almost transparent but still visible boy that she recognised all too quickly, same raven black hair, same icy blue eyes, same face, same clothes, only difference was that he looked like a 14 year old teenager as opposed to an eight year old boy.

Jazz could never forget Danny's look. It was impossible to forget her brother's face.

Jazz quickly snapped around when she heard the voice but she saw no one. Jazz quickly rubbed her eyes but her room was exactly the same as if no one had ever been in here.

Jazz simply let out a laugh, it had probably been a figment of her imagination. That had a tendency to happen from time to time. Sometimes she would see Danny every now and again. Guess she still wasn't over her brother's death subconsciously but that wouldn't stop her from having a good day. It wouldn't help to dwell on the tragedies of the past but look to the victories of the future.

Jazz quickly finished getting ready and walked downstairs and she was pleasantly surprised to find her parents already awake waiting for her. It was surprising to find them awake at this time due to the fact that Jazz generally awoke before them… especially her father. Even on birthdays and holidays they struggled to wake up early so they must have put extra effort today to wake up early.

"Happy Birthday Jazz." Both elder Fentons said before handing her a plate of her favourite breakfast, pancakes with syrup and orange juice. Simple but effective.

"Thanks mom and dad." Jazz said cheerfully.

"Eat up quickly Jazz, your father and I have something to show you." Maddie Fenton said with a wink.

Jazz smiled and then began to enjoy her breakfast, if this is had been Danny he would have wolfed the food down like any Fenton man would but because Jazz was a Fenton woman she allowed herself to take her time. However this time she was able to finish rather early.

Once she was done she went off to find her parents. Next thing she knew her dad was forcing her to cover her eyes before leading her outside.

"Here you go Jazz." Jack Fenton said as he uncovered her eyes.

Jazz then let out a scream of pure joy when she saw the teal convertible parked in front of Fenton Works.

"Oh my gosh, thank you, thank you, thank you…" Jazz said as she hugged her parents.

"It was our pleasure Jazz." Maddie said. "You deserved this, especially after being so patient with us for so long."

As Jazz hugged she saw another apparition of Danny appear and look at the car before he gave an impressive whistle.

"Sweet ride sis." Danny said before vanishing from site again.

Jazz found it a bit humorous but also disconcerting to see that but she shrugged it off and continued to hug her parents.

After a few more minutes of thanking her parents over and over again Jazz decided to give her new car a spin and was even happier she awoke early in the morning.

She decided to take the longer route to her school Casper High as opposed to taking the direct route. It just filled her with so much joy to be able to drive around in her own car… and not the armoured tank her parents drove around in. With her new car now she could run her own errands and not have to worry about walking or getting home safely.

Jazz arrived at school significantly later than she usually arrived but she had a good reason this time. It wasn't like she really had anything to do before school, she just loved the place. Jazz wasn't like other teenagers; she was the kind of person who loved school, education and places linked to intellect. She was the kind of teen to sit down with a good book as opposed to watching a movie and to learn as opposed to doing some kind of physical activity.

She had a tendency to value intelligence over physical appearances and abstract things and ideas.

~00000~

The school day was perfect, nothing seemed to go wrong and Jazz got a lot of happy birthday wishes from her friends. She had even seen the apparition of Danny a few times in some odd places but that didn't deter her day in the slightest. At one point during the day something weird happened where Jazz's hand passed right through the lock on her locker as if she or it were intangible but she shrugged that off as something she imagined. After school she had stayed a bit longer with one of her friends in a younger grade. His name was Tucker Foley.

Originally he had been Danny's best friend before he died but once he passed away, Tucker helped comfort Jazz and the two became good friends. They weren't as close as Danny and Tucker would have been but they still good friends. Jazz helped Tucker out and Tucker helped her out.

Jazz noticed that she had spent an extra hour at school just talking to Tucker and realised that she had to run so she quickly dismissed herself and ran to get back to her car, on her way out she bumped into someone as he walked around a corner.

"Oh sorry about that." Jazz said. "Need help?"

"No I'm good." The person replied with an echo to his voice after a moment of surprised hesitation.

"Okay, but so sorry about that." Jazz said before she sped off. She hadn't gotten a good look of the person she bumped into all she noticed was raven black hair.

As she ran Danny watched her as he felt the place she had bumped him.

"Did she just… touch me?" Danny asked out loud. "Did Jazz just see me? For real?"

A huge grin spread on the face of the younger Fenton before he jumped into the air with a yell of joy.

The raven haired ghost boy continued to smile as he walked through the walls and saw Tucker Foley trying to flirt with Valerie Grey.

"Always watching, never seen, now I've been seen and I can finally talk to my sister again." Danny said before he faded from site, not that anyone besides Jazz could see him anyway.

~00000~

Jazz made a quick trip to the library and quickly got herself two books, one on Paranormal Activities (not the series) and another on psychology both of them for her own personal reasons.

She then drove off to do her baby-sitting job. Over the past two years she had taken a baby-sitting job to sometimes give her a bit of breathing room and because she just loved taking care of kids, especially Danielle Gomez the daughter of Officer… Commissioner Gomez, the same policeman that had helped her since Danny's death. Over the past six years Alex Gomez grew in APPD (Amity Park Police Department) to the point where he pretty much became the Commissioner. Eventually he was promoted to the job but that meant he had to work longer, making him need a baby-sitter for his young daughter Danielle. Jazz was the first to jump at the opportunity.

Despite the fact that today was her birthday Jazz still wanted to do the baby sitting job for a number of reasons. The main reason being that Danielle reminded Jazz of Danny, she even insisted she be called Dani with an 'i'.

Dani had similar raven black hair and icy blue eyes to Jazz's late brother and a similar personality. She had some of his interests such as space and Dumpty Humpty alongside her own desires. It was if she were a clone of Danny that hadn't come out exactly the same.

Jazz arrived at the Gomez apartment and knocked on the door before waiting for a moment. The door was then opened by Jazz's favourite 11 year old girl.

"Hey Jazz." Dani said cheerfully. "Happy Birthday."

Dani then handed the older girl a small wrapped present.

"Hey Dani and thanks you didn't have to." Jazz said with a warm smile as she looked at the present that she assumed was a book.

"Of course I had to. You've been so awesome that I couldn't not give you anything." Dani said as she allowed Jazz in. "Dad, Jazz is here!"

Jazz watched as the APPD commissioner came from one of the rooms in the apartment with his uniform and trench coat on.

"Hello Jazz, how are you today?" Commissioner Gomez asked.

"Hi Commissioner Gomez, I'm fine and you." Jazz said.

"Jazz I told you, you don't have to be so formal around me." Commissioner Gomez said with a chuckle. "But yes I'm fine. Happy Birthday Jazz."

"Thanks Commissioner." Jazz said with a sly smile causing her 'mentor' to chuckle.

"I'll be back slightly late today." Commissioner Gomez said. "Will be fine waiting long?"

"Yeah." Jazz said. "Today's a Friday so it's fine. However you might find us at Fenton Works and not here. My parents might want me back for dinner."

"Fair deal." Commissioner Gomez said. "Okay Danielle, behave yourself. I'll see you later."

"Bye Dad." Dani said as her father left the apartment.

(AN: Yes I somewhat based Commissioner Alex Gomez on Commissioner James Gordon from Batman and Dani will be somewhat similar to Barbara Gordon. Sue me.)

Jazz and Dani sat on the couch before Dani began demanding that Jazz open her gift. Not willing to say no the little girl Jazz opened the gift and was once again pleasantly surprised to find a new book from her favourite author.

"Thanks Dani." Jazz said.

"No problem Jazz." Dani said. "It's what friends are for. So what else did you get today?"

Jazz smiled before she took out her phone and showed Dani a picture of her standing next to her new car.

"I got a car." Jazz said.

Dani's smile then grew so large Jazz was amazed it didn't plop right off her face.

"You have to take me for a ride." Dani begged.

"Don't worry Dani, I'll take you around after you eat." Jazz said. "And after we get some homework done."

"But it's a Friday. If I do my homework today what will I do on Sunday night?" Dani complained.

"Dani procrastinating isn't a good idea." Jazz said.

"Yeah but I have very little homework." Dani said.

"I don't, I have to do mine as soon as possible." Jazz said.

Dani huffed in irritation. "Fine but you aren't doing it in here because I'm watching TV." Dani said before turning to her favourite form of procrastination.

Jazz chuckled. "Okay I'll be in the study but don't keep the TV too loud, I still have to watch you." Jazz said.

"No problem." Dani said.

In a few minutes Jazz had begun her homework leaving Dani in front of the TV… but then Dani realised she wasn't alone when she heard a voice with a slight echo to it laughing lightly next to her.

"Classic Jazz, she's so focused on work that forgets to have fun."

Dani's eyes widened as she saw a raven haired boy with icy blue eyes slowly materialise in the room. Dani was shocked but that shock was quickly replaced with curiosity. Because she was raised by a cop she tended to not have as much fear as others her age and knew how to analyse threats.

"Who are you? How did you get in here?" Dani asked calmly alarming the teen.

"Wait what?" he said. "You can see me?"

"Yeah you make it sound like that's not meant to happen." Dani said. "So seriously who are you and I suggest you answer truthfully my dad's a cop and I've seen your face."

The boy hesitated for a second.

"Well for starters my name is Danny. Would you believe me if I told you I was a ghost?"

"Prove it." Dani challenged.

Danny then smile before he jumped into the air and didn't come down. Danny was hovering in the air and kept on going higher into the air.

He then landed before turning invisible. Dani was then surprised to see him appear right behind her.

"Proof enough?" Danny asked.

"Prove that you're not a figment of my imagination." Dani said.

Danny then walked over to a piece of paper before he grabbed it and crumpled it up into a wad before he threw it at Dani and as suspected it hit her.

"Alright that is cool." Dani said. "So why are you here Ghost Boy?"

"Well for one my full name is Danny Fenton." Danny said as he sat down next to Dani.

"Wait, are you Jazz's younger brother who died 6 years ago?" Dani asked.

"I wouldn't use the term died, more like passed on but yeah that's me." Danny said.

"But shouldn't you be 8 years old?" Dani asked.

"Not really." Danny said. "It seems I still age even as a ghost."

"Really? That's so awesome." Dani squealed.

Over in the next room Jazz could hear Dani's voice rising in excitement but she couldn't make out what she was saying. That made her decide to go investigate what the 11 year old might be doing and when she arrived in the room she was shocked.

Dani was sitting on the couch talking to the very apparition she had been seeing all day. Dani was talking to Danny.

Jazz's head began to spin, how was this possible? Wasn't this teenaged version of her brother merely a small hallucination that was created from her mindscape. If so then how was Dani talking to him?

"D-Danny?" she asked even though every logical part of her brain was screaming that this was impossible.

"Jazz?" Danny replied with a warm smile. "I was wondering when we'd be able to talk."

He had the same smile. Everything about his demeanour was the same as she remembered only difference was that there was more maturity than when he was eight. The way his eyes had brightened up showed that he clearly recognised her and knew her. This was Danny there was no doubt about it. Jazz knew it, this was her baby brother.

"How is this possible? I saw you die six years ago." Jazz said.

Danny then rubbed the back of his head nervously as he gave a sheepish grin. The same nervous habit he had when he had to explain something hard to explain.

"Uh well you know how our parents are ghost hunters right? Well hunters need to have something to hunt, something that exists for them to hunt or they're wasting their lives. Well I guess you could say I'm one of the things they hunt." Danny said.

"You're a ghost? A real ghost?" Jazz asked. "I can't believe this."

"Do the intangibility thing." Dani said.

"Good idea. Jazz don't freak out but…" Danny began before he literally phased right through the couch as if it weren't even there. "I really am a ghost."

The eldest Fenton didn't know what to do. Here her brother was after years of being dead in the flesh… ectoplasm. Danny was here and she guessed every time she might have seen him the past six years she had actually seen him. Danny had been watching over her for years.

Jazz did the only thing that seemed right as tears of joy filled her eyes. She grabbed her brother and gave him the strongest hug she could. She was especially glad when she managed to touch him as opposed to going right through him.

"I've missed you so much." Jazz said. "To see you again is literally the best birthday present I could ever get."

"Better than the car?" Danny asked.

"Definitely." Jazz said. "Know what forget my homework, today I'm spending time with you."

"Whoa, Jazz Fenton, forgetting about homework? Who are you and what have you done with my sister?" Danny joked.

Jazz only hugged him tighter almost afraid that if she let go he would vanish again. Jazz then reluctantly let him go and was glad to find that he was still there.

"Danny we need to talk." Jazz said.

"No duh." Danny said with a chuckle.

"How long has it been since the two of you last talked." Dani asked.

"Well technically six years and one hour but Jazz has talked to me before without realising and I have replied just she didn't realise it was me." Danny said.

"Danny, how long are you around for?" Jazz asked.

"It's a hard question to answer." Danny admitted. "Because I'm not like other ghosts. At the current moment there are only two humans who can see me, you and Dani. I'm pretty much invisible to everyone else. I'm pretty much bound to you."

"What?" Jazz asked. "Why is that?"

Danny didn't answer all he did was lift up one of the legs of his jeans and pointed to a scar on his leg before he pointed at Jazz's leg right where she also had a scar.

"That bullet?" Jazz asked.

"Yeah, there was something off about them." Danny said. "Considering that it flew right through me and into you as well. Pretty much some of my blood landed in you but the interesting thing is that the bullet never came out of you. Remember the doctors couldn't find it and they assumed it had been removed by your system… well that's not really the case. It dissolved inside you with my blood on it."

Jazz though for a second on what that meant.

"How is that even possible… and how do you even know that. I don't mean to insult you or anything but it's kind of hard to focus on that while you're dying." Jazz said.

Danny rubbed the back of his head sheepishly making Jazz want to hug him once more. He really hadn't changed in six years.

"When I first arrived in the Ghost Zone a master of time took me in and taught me some important things… which actually reminds me there's something you need to know." Danny said.

"What is that?" Jazz asked.

Danny instantly found his feet to be very interesting as he looked down nervously.

"Danny what's wrong?" Jazz asked a bit concerned.

"Well besides my ghost body bonding to you…" Danny began before he found a way to change the subject. "Actually I'm wondering how Danielle can see me, she's not bonded to me."

Dani the shrugged.

"That's a question for another day. Quit dodging the bullet… sorry bad choice of words… quit changing the subject and answer your sister." Dani said.

"Okay there's something else." Danny said. "Jazz have you recently noticed that you're feeling a lot of cold sensations?"

"Yeah why?" Jazz asked.

"Well there's an explanation for that. You see when I died I bonded with you but something else happened to you. Think of the bullet that entered your system as toxin. A toxin which slowly spread through your body leaving dormant things inside you waiting to be awakened." Danny said. "A few days ago you were around to witness the Parents finally open the ghost portal. When it opened there might have been a bit of backlash energy that might have awoken what was dormant inside of you."

"And what was dormant inside of me?" Jazz asked.

"Uh… ghost DNA…" Danny said before he mentally started counting down.

"What!" Jazz shrieked.

Her birthday had gone from amazing to perfect and to just plain weird in a matter of minutes. It seemed like a lot of information to wrap her head around… correction it was a lot of information to wrap her head around. First she learns her brother is a ghost then that his ghost is bonded to her then she learns she's… half ghost. It was too much for her to handle. She would have fainted but she mentally stopped herself.

Danny felt bad, this was probably too much to handle on her birthday of all days. Maybe he should have eased this information into her slowly. It might have helped because now she looked like she was about to have a nervous breakdown. He didn't want her to do that on her birthday of all days.

The ghost boy let out a mental sigh. This was his fault, if he hadn't gotten shot that day this wouldn't have happened. Jazz wouldn't be having a mental breakdown at the moment. No she would just be enjoying another normal birthday. He was so stupid how could he think this could work? Jazz would have been better off if he hadn't shown her he existed as a ghost.

Jazz noticed the look on Danny's face and the way he slowly faded from sight. She recognised this look from when they were kids. Danny always blamed himself, especially when people he cared about were hurt around him. When he was young he always had the burden that he didn't do enough to help and when he got like this he tended to hide away from everyone because he thought they were mad at him or disappointed… no not this time, she had lost him once and she wasn't going to just let him vanish like the ghost he was.

Jazz snapped and immediately grabbed Danny by the arm and looked him in the eye with a glare that would leave any over protective older sibling proud.

"Daniel James Fenton, you aren't responsible for this so do not take the blame." Jazz said fiercely. "This wasn't your doing. You never chose to get shot nor did you chose to die. Do you understand me?"

"Yes ma'am." Danny said with a gulp.

"Good now smile and have a happy death day." Jazz said with small smile remembering the first words Danny had said to her after he died.

"Rip off." Danny said.

The two siblings then embraced once more but their hug was cut short when they heard the grumbling of a stomach.

"Oh sorry to kill the mood, but I guess I'm still hungry." Dani said as she placed her hands on her belly.

Danny and Jazz just laughed before Danny's stomach growled as well.

"You're hungry too?" Jazz asked.

"Sorry I haven't eaten all day." Danny said with his usual sheepish grin. "To busy watching over you."

"Do ghosts need to eat?" Dani asked.

"Yeah." Danny said with a chuckle. "Being a ghost is essentially another version of being alive or being reincarnated. I guess you could say it's a bit of a second chance."

"Thanks for the tip but I didn't need the science lesson I just need food." Dani said before she looked at Jazz with puppy dog eyes. "Feed me." She begged.

Jazz turned to Danny and found him with a similar puppy dog look on his face also asking to be fed.

Jazz only laughed. Her brother was back.

Shadow: And there was Chapter 1.

Dani: Wow that is certainly different.

Shadow: You think.

Dani: I see CA15 took some influence from Batman for this story.

Shadow: And how did he do that?

Dani: Child watches a murder of their family member at a young age, gets helped by a cop who ends up becoming the Commissioner and works for the APPD, and is going to end up becoming a super hero because of said childhood trauma.

Shadow: Damn I didn't notice that and I'm also sure that wasn't what was originally intended by CA15 either.

Dani: Let's not forget that I seem to resemble both Dick Grayson and Barbra Gordon. Sounds like a Batman origin if I ever heard one.

Shadow: Except ghosts and female protagonist. Don't forget Jazz isn't a billionaire.

Dani: Details, details. So what will happen next? How will Jazz adjust to her abilities? How will she adjust to having her brother back in her life? Read, Review, Favourite and Follow to find out.

Shadow: And stay tuned for Chapter 2:Death of a Fenton - Rise of a Phantom Part 2.
