It was a quiet, windy day today. The breeze was shaking stray wires and blowing papers along the streets-while dust was kicked up and carried away on the wisps. The only thing that had yet to move was the building a young boy found himself hiding in, unable to stay silent as his shoulders shook and his eyes darted back and forwards. He could feel a heavy pounding in his chest as he thought he head footsteps-only for them to disappear entirely within a couple of seconds. But he knew better, staying hidden until a shiver passed through his system and he felt a hand on the back of his shirt.

Finally, the boy couldn't take anymore and burst into a fit of giggles-jumping away from the hand before a glowing ring surrounded him in mid-air. It washed over him, making his body colder while turning his long black hair white, and his blue eyes red. His white shirt and grey shorts also gave way to the black and white hazmat suit he'd come to adore-while an otherworldly aura clung to his body.

The boy then stilled himself in the air-blasting at the man who'd tried to grab him-only for the beam to be deflected right back. He jumped out of the way, just to feel that same man grab him from behind. He struggled, before giving up with a laugh and turning to face the man who'd captured him.

This man had white hair, much like the boy did, only it waved like a roaring fire. His eyes were a piercing red that seemed eerily jovial, while a fanged smile appeared on his blue face. That same aura also clung to his skin and suit-of which greatly resembled the young boy's, only with more white and a cape that was flapping in the breeze pouring in from a shattered window.

The man ruffled the boy's already messy locks, before setting him down. "You do realize that you have to be quiet while you're hiding, right Danny?"

The young boy-Danny-just stuck his tongue out in reply before he gained a blue hue. His body then fell through the solid floor, leaving the man to sigh and chase after him. That child had way more energy than he should, inhuman or otherwise. In fact, the man thought as he flew through wall after wall to catch him, he wouldn't be surprised if Danny could power a city with his joyful fire alone.

The man eventually discovered the boy standing in the middle of a vacant parking lot-grin bright as the sun beaming down on them. Danny then spoke, floating in the air with a green glow surrounding both of his palms. "Now I get to try!"

With a smug smile, the man watched Danny send a volley of blasts at him and dodged every one. He could hardly believe how strong the boy had become over the years, but he supposed it was bound to happen. Not only had he had these powers his entire life, he had someone more than willing to train him. And that person was his father-Dan. A man who just barely missed getting hit in the stomach by a stray beam of energy.

Jumping into the air, Danny finally stopped his barrage of attacks and grinned at his sparring partner. Dan grinned in reply as well, before he spoke up with a suggestion that brought stars to Danny's eyes. "Hey Danny, why don't you try your hand at what I taught you again. When we're done, we can do something else."

Grin turning devious, Danny nodded and sucked in a breath. Then-in a horrifying shriek that would rattle the bones of men miles away-energy burst forwards and barreled towards Dan. The other ghost then found a smirk forming as he launched the same attack, the two blasts meeting in the middle and causing everything in the immediate area to tremble.

Both mighty roars pushed against one another, but Dan's was quite clearly winning. Still, Danny was trying incredibly hard. His fists were clenched tightly as he focused-but his energy was quickly starting to run thin. But Dan figured he could afford to give the boy an inch this one time, and he stopped his assault.

And as soon as his flow of energy stopped, Danny's burst forwards and smacked Dan right into the ground. It left a sizeable indentation in the cement and gave him a killer back ache, but it was worth it to see Danny stare in absolute surprise. He then raced up to Dan with barely contained excitement, arms in the air as he shouted in glee. "I did it! Did you see, dad? I did it!"

Dan chuckled, sitting up with a grunt. "I didn't really see it as much as I felt it… You're getting stronger everyday, aren't you?"

The young boy beamed with pride, plopping onto the man's stomach and knocking some of the wind out of him. "So what're we going to do next?" Danny asked with a tilt of his head.

Dan grunted, sitting up and moving Danny to his lap. "I don't know. What do you want to do next?"

Danny looked up at the sky, taking the question into serious consideration before he nodded to himself. He then looked at Dan, placing his hands on his stomach. "I want something to eat. And you need to eat too."

Dan frowned at that. He never needed to eat-but Danny had always insisted. He supposed it was a side-effect of constantly telling the boy that he had to eat in order to survive, but at least it kept the boy from throwing his food out of the window in rebellion. And so he conceded with a sigh. "Alright… Let's go hunting."

Danny beamed, jumping into the air in an instant while waiting for his father to get to his feet. The two then started flying in the direction of a forest-if you could call it a forest anymore.

Most of the trees were dead or dying, but grass had tried to grow back over the past couple of years. Dan found he didn't mind though, as the lifeless forest often thrived with the ghosts of animals. And most of them, being ectoplasmic life forms, made the perfect meal for a full-ghost such as himself while also providing much needed nutrients to both of Danny's halves.

"Hey dad," Danny's voice made the older phantom look behind him-seeing his son had stopped and was staring at something. "what's that?"

Moving to the halfa's side, Dan followed Danny's gaze and found what appeared to be a natural portal. And while Dan was about to dismiss it, he noticed the way the portal spiraled and glowed. It seemed odd, and Dan couldn't place it until he realized that the portal was clearly not green-rather it was a brilliant sky blue. It also wasn't fading.

"Dad?" Dan looked at Danny, who looked increasingly curious.

"Its a natural portal, but-"

"Can we go in? Please? I promise to behave!" Danny begged, his big red eyes shinning with hope as he clasped his hands together.

Dan opened his mouth to speak, but that did nothing but make the boy's eyes bigger and cause him to pout. That look had broke the man's will several times, and part of him would always hate that, but another part knew that he could do nothing about it. So, with a heavy sigh Dan gestured for the boy to follow-unable to help a smile at the celebratory cheer he received.

They approached the portal, Danny climbing onto Dan's back and staring into it with wonder, while the older ghost walked towards it. He could only hope that what he was doing wouldn't bring Danny any serious harm, as they stepped through the portal and it popped out of existence.

A/N: Guys, did you know I loved you? Seriously, the amount if joy I got reading your reviews on Raising the Future was amazing!
