I don't own Danny Phantom or x men evolution

"For the multiple accounts of treason and being the masterminds behind the murder of the royal family, I sentence you all to imprisonment in maximum lockdown holding for the rest of eternity." Danny says glaring down at the at the observants and their generals. It was a week after the final battle. With Danny joining the battle, it took minutes to finish off the last of the resistance. And now with everything settled the court cases were being held. Having just sentenced his biggest headaches to eternal lock up at Walker's prison, Danny was now going to talk with his advisors. Leaving the courtroom Danny headed for his throne room. Upon entering all heads turned to him. Walking over to his throne Danny turned and faced his subjects, warriors, and generals.

"Today I have sentenced the observants and their generals. Today the ghost zone is finished with war. Today I am one step closer to completing my promise of peace throughout the whole of the zone. I could not have done any of this without all of you, today we shall have a feast to celebrate, though it won't be for just our victory but also the bonds and friendships we've made and to honor our fallen friends. Let us rejoice." Danny finished as the room filled with cheers.

Later that night at the feast Danny was sitting at the high table with Fright Night, Ember, Johnny, and Clockwork. Everyone else was partying and enjoying themselves, knowing the war was over took a weight off of everyone's shoulders.

"Hey Babypop." Said Ember ever disrespectful.

"Address his majesty, properly sound mistress!" Yells an angry Fright Knight.

"What you call me tin can!" Ember calls back mad and getting up from her seat.

"You heard me harlot!" Says Fright Knight getting up with a hand on his sword.

"Guys calm down we're having a party here, just." Johnny said trying to calm the developing situation.

"Quite!" They both yelled at at him now getting into each others faces.

"Oh, looks like you two are going to have a friendly spar, I think I'll join the both of you." Danny says finally speaking up, before taking a sip from his goblet. Fright Knight and Ember both felt a chill go down their spines. Sparring with Danny was more like a real life and death battle nowadays, he didn't actually try to kill you but sometimes he'd "accidently" put more power behind his attacks then he should.

"On second thought we are having a party." Said Ember with a forced big smile.

"Yes, yes why ruin such good fun with the noise of fighting." Fright Knight said try to be convincing.

"Well if you're sure." Danny said receiving some quick nods which he could only chuckle at. "So Ember what did you want?" Danny asked seeing the fight was over.

"Oh yea, well I was just wondering what your gonna do now. I mean you have the council set up so you don't have to worry too much about the politics and all." Said Ember with a curious tone.

"Yea I mean Ember's already said she's going to to go on a tour of the zone and I'm going to finally take that tropical vacation. Hell even Fright Knight here is going to go to a knight's tournament. What are you going to do?" Asked Johnny just as curious.

"Well, Ember's right about the council. I only need to watch them a little and really only need to be around once a month for briefings. So I was thinking I'd go back to the human world and get my high school diploma at least, maybe even go to college." Danny said thoughtfully.

"Why the hell would you ever want to go back to high school?" Asked Ember like it was the dumbest idea ever.

"Well to be honest it wouldn't be for me. I feel like my parents would have wanted me to at least get my high school diploma, so you know just to make them proud and all." As Danny was saying this everyone at the table got quite. It was no secret that Danny was still hurting even a hundred years later, so most tried not to bring it up. Though at hearing him finish they all had smiles, seeing that it seemed like he might just start to get better. "Well I think I'll call it a night."

"Good night my King." Fright Knight said raising his goblet toward his king.

"Night babypop." Ember said getting up and walking toward the band that was playing. Johnny just nodded his head in Danny's direction. And with that Danny left. As he headed for his room Danny ran into Clockwork. Funny how he could be one place one second and another altogether the next.

"My King." Clockwork said starting to walk beside Danny.

"Clockwork." Danny said acknowledging him, waiting to see what he wanted to say.

"You want to go back to the human world." It wasn't a question, Clockwork always knew. "You should know that the human world has changed much since you were last there."

Giving Clockwork a curious look Danny asked "How so?"

"There are people known as mutants. They are humans with powers, most only have one specific power though. Unfortunately there also seems to be a large divide between those with powers and those without." Clockwork explains.

"Then i guess I'll just have to be careful." Danny says calmly, though on the inside he was worried. If things went as usual he would end up in some sort of trouble. 'Guess I'll just deal with it when it happens.' He thinks already knowing trouble would go his way. "Thank you Clockwork. Well I'll be heading to bed, see you tomorrow."

"Good night my King." And with that both parted ways, one knowing all was as it should be and the other wishing his friend would just could right out and say he was about to get into trouble.

A week later we find Danny in human form in New York city standing outside Bayville High School. Even though it was a hundred years it seemed like much hadn't changed in the human world. Danny's human form however had, while he wasn't some old man he now had the body of an 18 to 19 year old. His body had bulked up quite a bit to be able to contain his ghostly power, kinda like a mixed martial artist, but a bit bigger. He had also grown into his father's height, standing at 6 feet 4 inches. He still had his raven dark hair, white t-shirt with the red dot, and jeans. Though he now wore a long sleeve shirt underneath, years of war affected both forms and it wasn't pretty. Also his eyes while still a beautiful ice blue now had a glow to them. Honestly Danny was a sight to see, which was the last thing he wanted.

"Well, never thought I'd actually want to go back to high school." Danny says walking into the school and heading to the office. As Danny went inside a red convertible pulled up. Out jumped a guy with red sunglasses, a girl with a pink top, another girl with bright red hair, a guy with almost blue hair and a interesting watch, and finally one more girl with brown hair but with white streaks up front.

"Like, thanks for the ride Scott." Kitty calls running off to a group of her friends.

"Yea, thanks I've got to go see you guys later." Kurt says with his ever present accent, before running off.

"Those two are lively as ever. Well I've got to go too, also don't wait up for me, practice is supposed to run late tonight." Jean said walking off. Rogue just looked at Scott before walking away with a wave of her hand.

"Guess I'm alone this morning." Scott said to himself, adjusting his sunglasses before walking off himself.

At this point Danny made it to the main office. Upon entering he was greeted by a friendly enough secretary, who after some small talk gave Danny his schedule.

"First class is… English… Man this really is just like Casper High." Danny says to himself as he walks down the hall looking for the classroom. After about five minutes of looking he gave up and decided to ask for directions. Tapping the first lone kid he saw on the shoulder he asked "Hey could you help me. I'm new and have no idea where to go."

"Mmm, oh yea sure, which class are you looking for… " Kurt said trailing off. Upon turning around he ended up looking right into the chest of a giant. Looking up he was met with the bluest eyes he's ever seen. Honestly he was a little more than intimidated. Something about the way he held himself just made Kurt feel like he should stand at attention.

"Great, thanks, I'm looking for Mr. Mullen's English class, it's room 134." Danny said happily since he found someone so willing to help.

"Umm, yea, Mr. Mullen's…, yea ok so you go down this hallway take a right then a left and it should be second to last on the right." Kurt said getting over his surprise as he started to talk. If Kurt had been thinking straight he would have wondered how he was able to give such precise directions when normally it came out more as confusing gibberish that put you on the other side of the school.

"Thanks, by the way I'm Danny, well see you a round." Danny said leaving while the directions were still fresh in his mind. Kurt smiled and called back to him "I'm Kurt. See you around." He stood there for a second before realizing he needed to get to class himself.

As Danny was nearing the classroom the bell went off, causing Danny to pray that no one would notice him entering late. Unfortunately Danny's good old fenton luck kicked in and he opened the door hitting the teacher in the back.

"Oh no, I'm so sorry." Danny said as the teacher held his head in pain. Now Mr. Mullen was not known for being very laid back, so the fact that a student was entering class late and managed to hit him with the door was just a recipe for disaster for said student. Rounding on the student, Mr. Mullen was met with the same wall of a human being Kurt had. As Danny entered all eyes were on him. Many were interested in the kid dumb enough to whack Mr. Mullen with a door, what they saw though was not a kid. He towered over Mr. Mullen and barely fit through the door. His eyes seemed to have this glow about them. Overall he was something to look at. Looking up Mr. Mullen collected himself.

"I can forgive the door, but not showing up late, though since I don't recognize you, you must be new. I'll give you a warning this time, don't let there be a next time." Mr. Mullen said stunning the class. Normally upsetting Mr. Mullen meant a week's worth of detentions let alone showing up late, new student or not. Hearing this Danny apologised again then headed to the only open seat, which just so happened to be right up front and in the middle. The rest of the class went by pretty normally, except for the fact that everyone, Mr. Mullen included, couldn't stop stealing glances at the new kid. He had this aura around him that just brought people in. He certainly left an impression, so much so that one girl in a pink top and hair in a ponytail could only think of telling everyone about him as soon as class was over. Which with the sound of the bell set everyone off.

"Great first impression Danny, why not just hit the next one with a chair." Danny says with his hand on his face. In that same moment a certain redhead was making her way down the hall talking over her shoulder. It was one of those cliche moments were a boy and a girl run into each and fall to the floor, except in this case only the girl fell to the floor as the guy kept walking not realizing something hit him.

"Woah, ow ow ow." Jean said landing right on her butt. It was also in this moment that one Scott Summers rounded the corner to see Jean get bulldozed through.

"Hey watch where you're going!" Scott yelled rushing over to the downed redhead. "You ok Jean?" Upon hearing someone yell Danny turned around to see what all the trouble was. What he didn't expect though was a girl to be on the ground and to have the guy by her glaring daggers at him.

"Yea Scott I'm fine." Jean says trying to calm her friend, he always got overprotective with her. Realizing the yelling was about him, Danny grew sheepish and went over with an outstretched hand.

"Um sorry, was that my fault?" Danny asked.

"Yea what's the big idea. You first run into her and then you keep on walking." Scott says angrily. At this point a crowd was forming.

"Scott he said he was sorry. If he had meant anything behind it he wouldn't have turned around." Jean said getting up with Scott's help, causing Danny to retract his hand.

Feeling awkward Danny said "I'm sorry, guess I didn't see you there. I'm Danny."

"Hello Danny, my name is Jean and this is Scott. We should get going. Bye" Jean said leading the still mad Scott away.

Leaving Danny thought 'That could have gone better.' If people didn't already know about him after the Mr. Mullen incident, then they would now. He just knocked over one of the most popular girls in school. It wasn't even second period and the rumors were already starting. By the time he found his second class no one would make eye contact with him. Though as soon as he was seated and looking away he felt every eye on him. That's when he started to hear the whispers.

"Yea he's the one."

"I heard he attacked a teacher."

"Push Jean Grey to the floor? No way."

"Got big in jail."

The rumors were already getting out of control and all Danny could do was sigh and hope it didn't get to bad. By lunch Danny was supposedly a hitman who became a gang leader in prison, and now that he was out, was looking to take over the school and make it the base of his drug operation. It was so ridiculous that Danny wondered if there was a contest to see who could make up the worst backstory. Walking into the cafeteria all eyes were on him. Sensing that no one wanted him around he went outside and found a decent shade giving tree.

This was the scene Rogue watched as she sat eating lunch. She couldn't help but think about how people used to, and still did avoid her. 'I shouldn't get involved. If I get involved the rumors will start up again, this time with me included. I don't need that. It's not my problem.' She thought turning away. Though as she continued to eat, she couldn't help but look over at him again and wish she hadn't. He had the saddest smile she'd ever seen. That did it, she got up, 'What the hell am I doing.' She thought as she walked up to him. Standing next to him, he hadn't noticed her so she made herself known. "Hey."

As Danny sat under the tree he couldn't help but reminisce about his old high school days. They weren't pleasant memories but they weren't bad either. Before the war he used to at least get to suffer with his friends Sam and Tucker, hell during the war he had Fright Knight, Ember, Johnny, and Clockwork, but here, here he was alone. 'I knew going back would suck, but ... I don't know what I was expecting.' With these thoughts Danny grew a smile that just seemed to convey sadness. If he had realized it was showing on his face he would have hidden it, though the fact that he didn't notice that meant that when he heard some say "Hey" From beside him, he was completely surprised, jumping a little even.

"Um, hey." Danny said looking up at the person, who turned out to be a she. She had on a black tank top that cut off at the stomach, with a see through green blouse over it, a black skirt that hugged there hips with green leggings. She also wore combat boots, gloves, and had a neck choker that resembled a collar. Her hair was brown with white streaks up front, while her eyes were grey and her skin pale. She had purplish makeup and lips that seemed to full to be real. Overall she was very pretty in Danny's eyes.

"I heard about what happen." Rogue said while thinking 'Why the hell did you say that. The last thing he probably wants to think about is what happen.' At hearing her words Danny got a slight downcase look. Seeing this Rogue continued "So I was wondering what yer side of the story was."

"You know you're the first person to even try to talk to me since second period. Thanks for actually asking me what happen, instead of making up a rumor." Danny said with a genuine smile, showing off teeth as white as snow.

Rogue actually thought he looked kinda cute. 'Wait, don't think like that, besides he'll probably eventually avoid you like everyone else.' Leaving her thoughts she joked "So is there another side to these rumors or are you really a crime lord?"

"Ha, funny, well to answer that no I'm not a crime lord or a gang leader or a druggy or whatever people are saying right now. Earlier were both accidents. Mr. Mullen was right next to the door when I opened it and I honestly didn't see the girl when I was walking. And that guy didn't help the situation at all. Luckily the girl forgave me but the guy I'm pretty sure is going to hold it against me. People really have blown everything out of proportion. " Danny explained pretty fast and a little depressed about the whole thing.

"Jeez, that's a pretty bad first day." Rogue says taking a seat by Danny.

"By the way, I'm Danny." Danny says offering his hand.

"I go by Rogue. So what brings you to are not so little neck of the not at all woods?" Rogue asks more just to talk and avoid the hand shake then out of curiosity.

"Honestly it just seemed like a good place, well that and a friend kinda pointed it out to me." Danny says like there's some sort of inside joke.

"What about you, from that accent of yours I'd say you're originally from Mississippi." Danny asks with genuine curiosity.

"Just trying something new." Rogue says in a way that said she didn't want to talk about it. Danny could respect that and didn't push. After that they sat in silence. It was at this point that Rogue took the chance to really take in Danny's looks, and if she was honest with herself, she found him to be very attractive. Strong jaw, rough hands, and deep ice blue eyes. She actually had to fight off a blush. 'No Rogue, don't think like that. Sure he's nice right now but if he knew he wouldn't be so close.' Just then the bell signaled that sixth period was over.

"Well I've got to go, it was nice talking with you. See ya around." Danny said with a smile getting up and offering his hand again.

"Y-yea, see you around." Rogue said looking around, his smile was too much for her. This time she took his hand. It was so strong and yet gentle. With that they parted ways though not before a certain pink loving gossip heard the tail end of their conversation.

The rest of Danny's day was much like the morning. Though his last class was study hall on alternation with gym class. It was in this class that he ran into, not literally this time, the redhead Jean and her still mad friend Scott. That was a fun 45 minutes. When school finally let out Danny had some seriously mixed feelings about the day. Walking down the street some ways Danny open a portal into the ghost zone.

Meanwhile Rogue was meeting up with the other institute bound students.

"So Rogue anything interesting happen today?" Questioned Kitty planning on setting her up for a little teasing. Before she could answer though, Scott finally came out and he didn't look happy.

"Get in if you want a ride." He said definitely ticked.

"Man who got on your bad side?" Asked Kurt jumping into the car like everyone else.

"Some jerk in the hall run Jean over and acted like it wasn't a big deal." Scott vented starting up the car.

"Like, I heard about that. I heard he like used to be a gang leader." Kitty gossiped, completely forgetting about her earlier plan, and the fact that Rogue talked to him earlier.

"Yea, I heard he's actually a hitman hired to off Mr. Mullen." Kurt added enthusiastically not realizing who he was talking about.

"Well whatever he is, he's a jerk." Said Scott. It was at this point that Rogue threw the car door open and got out. Sure she had only known the guy for less than a day, not even an hour actually, but they were judging him like they judged her when they first met. It struck a chord in her.

"You know instead of gossiping about him behind his back why don't you actually try to talk to him." Rogue yells at them.

"Yea, like a guy like that wants to talk with anyone." Scott scoffs.

"Well maybe if you stopped glaring daggers at him. Besides I actually talked with him and he doesn't seem like a bad guy, just someone with some rotten luck. It's his first day and people are already avoiding him, all because of those rumors and people like you" Rogue says hotly, pointing a finger at Scott "Instantly labeling him a jerk." With that Rogue walked away, she was extremely mad and honestly didn't know why she was as mad as she was. Sure it struck a chord but this level of anger, what she felt was on a different level. 'Why the hell am I so mad for him!' She thought as she stormed away.
