Chapter 03: Complex Friendship
Watching in amusement, Danny could've sworn that John was geeking out over the jet that he and Laura uh… Borrowed without permission, from the facility in Canada.
Luckily it had a cloaking device as it was hid in the backyard and Danny was grateful that the hideout was on the edge of town, surrounded by trees.
"I'm just saying." John spoke up, his mechanical arm was a blowtorch as he worked on the inner makings of the jet. "You have a lot of potential for this thing. It doesn't have much firepower because it's a stealth jet, but that can be fixed with the right tech."
"Well, we do have a lab in the basement." Danny commented causing John to stop his work and look at him in excitement.
"Far out." John commented because he already made some adjustments to the building to hide the X-Gene, so they wouldn't be detected at all.
"I've been using it to recreate some Ghost Hunting items just in case I ran into some old friends." Danny said with a shrug, already used to John's slang. "But there's enough room for you to build whatever you want."
John nodded before he snapped his fingers. "If it's alright, I want to look at the blueprints of these Ghost Hunting items to see if I can help improve them."
Danny frowned as he thought about that. "Well, considering they were made and designed by people who were just smart, the chances of you improving them are good." He mused before nodding. "Alright, but I decide which ones you look at."
"Deal." John agreed.
Laura looked up from the book she was reading. "I still say that tech just makes a person weak."
"No it doesn't." John said looking insulted while Danny sighed at the argument that was to come.
Over the last few days, John and Laura have been at odds with each other due to personality and powers. John was pretty outgoing and thought of tech as the greatest thing, while Laura was more closed off and her first thought was to slice things to pieces with her claws.
"Without tech you wouldn't survive." Laura said blandly. "You're too reliant on it."
"Says the jungle girl." John commented about her abilities. "Tech compensates for our weaknesses."
"I don't have any weaknesses." Laura stated with a shrug.
'Except for your anger, social skills and the fact that you might sink like a rock in water.' Danny thought to himself as he just leaned against a tree. 'And John is a little too reliant on tech, sure he's more physical than an average tech lover, but if it comes down to it, he doesn't really have any fighting skills without the tech.'
"Stop being so arrogant." John told her angrily.
"I'm not." Laura shrugged in response. "I'm just stating a fact."
"You wouldn't last five minutes against tech." John commented causing Laura to growl at that shot at her skills.
Snikt.
"Care to say that again?" Laura asked dangerously with her claws showing.
"Why not?" John's aimed his arm cannon at her.
"Whoa!" Danny put an ecto shield between them. "Calm down! We won't achieve anything by killing each other."
Sure he knew that they were exact opposites, but he wasn't expecting things to escalate to this level this quickly.
Then John smiled. "How about we let Danny settle this?"
"Fine by me." Laura agreed causing Danny to shake his head.
"Excuse me?" Danny asked in shock. "How did I get dragged into this?!"
They were looking at him expectantly, causing Danny to do a face palm. "For crying out loud, fine but you two are to not interrupt me, got it?"
When they agreed he continued.
"Laura, you aren't invincible." Danny said causing Laura to glare and John to grin. "You are strong, fast and have a lot of stamina due to that healing factor, but you anger easily. John you are smart, adaptable and can build anything, but you do rely too much on tech."
By now even John was glaring at him.
"Oi! I'm not going to sugarcoat anything with you guys." Danny replied with his arms crossed, matching their glares. "You asked me for my opinion and I gave it."
Laura begrudgingly gave him that while John sighed as he turned back to the jet causing Danny to sigh. 'So much for being friends.' He thought sarcastically. 'Hell if this keeps up, we might as well kill each other and get it over with.'
Then Danny began to think about what John told him about Scott.
'So he's a Mutant and a part of a team?' Danny thought to himself as Laura went back to reading. 'Who leads that team and why is this team formed? Who is this Mystique and what did she want with John?'
Deciding that there were too many variables in this train of thought, Danny decided to stop thinking about it for now as he spoke up again.
"You guys do realize that if we invite more people here we're going to have to teach them right?"
That caused them to pause and look at him. "Teach them what?" John asked curiously to see what he was getting at.
"Well, considering how Laura likes to exercise and fight she could teach them fighting techniques." Danny offered, knowing that many different forms of Martial Arts were figuratively drilled into her head the last few years.
Laura thought about that before adopting a feral smirk. "How hard can I be on them?"
Feeling a sense of dread, Danny gave an answer. "As long as you don't kill or cripple them you have free reign.
If it was possible, Laura's smirk got wider.
"You just sentenced future recruits to death." John deadpanned to Danny causing him to chuckle nervously.
"Right, well you could teach them about tech and weapons if you want." Danny said causing John to cup his chin in thought.
"That would be pretty groovy to try." John said out loud before looking at Danny. "What about you?"
"Control over powers." Danny said with a shrug. "I've only had mine for three years and I have a lot of control as well as abilities that most Ghosts don't get for twenty years. So I think I could teach that well."
"But why teach them this?" John asked curiously.
"Simple really." Danny shrugged at the Technopath. "If they have control over their powers they won't have to worry about it going off randomly in public, plus teaching them how to fight will help them stay fit and learning about the tech that could be used will teach them to be versatile. This place might be a haven to keep them safe, but I'd rather help them learn skills they may need."
Then Laura looked at the sky. "It's seven-thirty." She said getting up and closing her book. "We should head to school."
Danny nodded as John chuckled. "Too bad for you guys." John said as he turned back to the Jet.
"Keep talking like that and I'll enroll you." Danny lightly threatened.
"Right, enroll a kid from the seventies, nice plan." John commented sarcastically.
Danny chuckled as he left.

"Any luck Professor?" Scott asked Charles Xavier as he shouldered his backpack.
"No, Jonathon is keeping himself well hidden." Xavier replied taking a mechanical helmet off. "What worries me is this third mysterious party."
"If this guy isn't causing any problems, then why worry?" Scott asked in confusion.
Sure he respects Xavier and sees him as a father figure, but he didn't see why they had to look for this guy.
"Scott, just because he or she isn't causing any problems now, who's to say that this group won't cause any in the future?" Xavier asked his student. "I just want to know this groups motive."
After a few seconds, Scott found himself agreeing with Xavier's reasoning.
"But we'll have to tread lightly." Xavier continued as he wheeled his way around his desk to a bookcase. "If it's possible that this new group could be an ally we don't want to ruin that chance and cause this new group to side with the Brotherhood."
"I don't know." Scott commented remembering that night. "I think that this new group is a little sore at Mystique for trying to attack Jonathon, since he's with them."
Xavier nodded as he picked out a book. "I see… On a lighter note, we'll be having a new student from Germany at the end of the week show up."
"That's great." Scott smiled at the good news. "Anything we should know in advance?"
"I'll let you see when he gets here." Xavier told him with a chuckle.
Shaking his head, Scott decided to head to school before calling upstairs. "Jean! You need a lift?"
"Oh, Duncan's picking me up today." Jean called down from her bedroom.
Scott grimaced a bit at the Quarterback's name. "Alright." He said hoping that he sounded positive, because he really did not like that guy.

"You really like reading, don't you?" Danny asked as Laura opened her book back up during Lunch, he couldn't even see the title due to the cover being decrepit.
"I find it… Relaxing." Laura answered him without a glance.
"If you say so." Danny said as he ate his meal. "So how are you adapting to normal life?"
Laura tensed as she thought about the Weapon X Program. "It's… Different." She struggled to find the right word, closing her book. "I still find it strange how people perceive normality from what normal meant to me."
"It does take some getting used to." Danny admitted remembering when he got his powers he wasn't the most adaptable person, heck the only reason he made it this far was because of his friends. "But at least you're free."
"Yeah." Laura looked at her food making Danny frown.
"You alright?"
"It's nothing." Laura said quickly. "I'm still not used to talking to people about my problems."
"Well, you can still try right?" Danny suggested with a smile.
After a second, Laura took the plunge. "I want to meet X."
"Alright." Danny agreed making Laura blink in shock.
"You'll agree, just like that?"
"Why not?"
"We don't know where he is." Laura pointed out. "Or if he would want to meet me."
"I can look for him." Danny promised her. "It'll take a while, but there are a few Ghosts in the Ghost Zone who owe me and they can get anywhere in no time."
At that point, Laura gave a rare smile of appreciation. "Thank you."
"It's what friends are for." Danny said as he got up to leave. "I'll see you in class."
'Friends?' Laura still wasn't sure about the concepts of friends, just acquaintances.
The thought of friends was a little to surreal for her.

Humming to himself as he headed to his locker, Danny stopped as he thought about something. 'Wait, John said that Mystique was a shape shifter… Didn't Laura say that the Principal was a shape shifter?' If he wasn't a C-Student, he would've thought about that earlier.
Feeling that it was too much of a coincidence, Danny ran into the bathroom and went ghost before flying invisibly to the Principal's Office to see her doing work.
"Mystique." Danny said loudly causing the woman to freeze as she looked around.
"Who's there?" Principal Darkholme changed into her natural form after closing the door. "And how did you find me?"
"I have my ways." Danny said cryptically, deciding to annoy the hell out of her. "But I don't appreciate you attacking my friends."
"You'll have to be more specific." Mystique said looking around.
"I was talking about Jonathon."
Now Mystique looked intrigued. "You're the new recruiter."
"Recruiter?" Danny laughed as it echoed around her office. "All I'm doing is helping Mutants and Metahumans who need it. Why are you recruiting?"
Feeling confident, Mystique told him. "There is a war coming." She said deciding not to reveal anything about Magneto. "Homo-Sapiens will lash out against our kind, we're just preparing."
"If you want peace, prepare for war." Danny said actually agreeing with what she was saying about a war coming.
"Exactly." Mystique narrowed her eyes because she couldn't find Danny. "Glad to see we agree on that."
"But I'm not taking sides." Danny said making Mystique pause.
"We all choose a side." Mystique told him with a shrug.
"No, I'm actually here to give you a warning." Danny said in his most cold-hearted voice as the temperature in the room dropped giving Mystique the urge to shiver, but she resisted. "You will leave my friends alone and anyone else that joins us. If you threaten or hurt them in any way I will kill you."
"So says the coward who hides his face." Mystique said to try to get him to come out.
Danny chuckled as he shot an ecto beam at the desk, lighting it on fire, causing Mystique to nearly jump. "I'm not stupid enough to fall for that." He said as he decided to make his shadow appear in the flames. "Just remember, I will know if you attack my friends."
As he disappeared and the temperature returned to normal, Mystique couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief before grabbing a phone.
"Yes?" A cold voice answered.
"We may have a problem." Mystique said as the desk continued to burn.

Laura sniffed the air as Danny walked in and sat next to her. "Why do I smell smoke?" She whispered to him.
"I gave Mystique a warning to leave John and anyone else we recruit alone." Danny said with a smirk. "All without letting her see me."
Before Laura could inquire more, the lesson began as they had to focus on their work.
'I should probably talk to this Xavier guy as well.' Danny thought before eyeing Scott out the corner of his eye. 'But first I need to hear his opinion.'
Looking up, Danny frowned as he realized that the teacher was looking at him, expecting an answer.
"Uh… Seventy-Three?" Danny asked playing the naïve, dumb kid.
"This is History, not math." The teacher sighed as a bunch of people laughed.
"… The Boston Tea Party?" Danny tried again, eliciting more laughter from the class because they were actually talking about Medieval Times.
"Just stop." The teacher turned to a different student.
'I really need to pay more attention in class.' Danny thought before shrugging. 'Nah.'

After school ended, Danny looked at Laura. "I'll meet you back at the hideout, just please don't kill John."
"I make no promises." Laura said in a very serious tone, making Danny grimace.
'That's exactly what I'm worried about.'
After changing to his Ghost form again, Danny turned invisible and sat in the back of Scott's convertible as he walked out with Jean.
"I thought that you were hanging with Duncan tonight." Scott questioned as they got in and he began to drive off.
"I'm not happy with him right now." Jean answered simply.
"What did he do this time?" Scott asked in confusion.
Jean crossed her arms. "Let's just say he put his foot in his mouth."
"Scott Summers." Danny spoke up, causing them to stiffen and it was a good thing they were at a red light, or he would've swerved off the road. "Goes to Xavier's School for the Gifted and secretly a mutant. I guess the same goes for you Jean Grey?"
Jean used her telepathy to try to find Danny but she couldn't get into his mind. "Who are you?!"
"And why are you in my car?" Scott asked his own question as the light turned green.
"My name is of no importance." Danny said enjoying being the annoying smartass again. "I'm only here to find out why you were trying to recruit my friend John."
"You're the new recruiter." Jean realized.
"More like one giving a safe haven to those who need it." Danny answered cryptically. "I already had a talk with Mystique about how she attacked my friend and warned her to stay away from them. I also wanted to thank you for protecting him."
"Uh, no problem?" Scott asked not sure where this guy was going.
"I want to talk with Xavier about why he's recruiting Mutants, but I figured I could hear your opinions on this matter."
"What is there to say?" Scott asked wanting Danny to show himself. "The Professor is a good guy, he wants to bridge peace between Humanity and Mutants."
"A noble goal." Danny admitted thinking that two years ago he would've probably asked to join this group. "But is it capable of being a reality?"
"Of course it is." Scott said without hesitation.
But Jean looked confused. "Why are you asking this?"
"… I don't even know." Danny muttered shaking his head, despite the fact that they couldn't see him. "I guess it's because maybe two years ago I would've agreed with that goal… I'll talk to Xavier another time when it would be crucial to meet."
"Am I the only one who thought that was weird?" Scott asked as the Mansion came into view and considering the stranger was quiet they assumed he left. "We couldn't see him at all."
"I'm more worried about the fact I couldn't detect him with my telepathy." Jean admitted making Scott blink as he processed that.
"Oh boy."
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0
Danny yawned as he made it back to the hideout and changed forms before walking in. "I'm home!" He called out.
Snikt.
Turning, he saw Laura gesturing to the training room with her claws out. "Who do you think is better?" She asked.
"You want to fight?" Danny asked in confusion.
"I want to see who the better fighter is." Laura told him with a feral smirk. "Tech boy is not worth fighting right now."
Danny shrugged and followed her into the training room. "What brought this on?" He decided to ask.
"It's been bugging me ever since we met and if you hadn't disappeared for two years we would've fought." Laura admitted as she walked to the other side of the room and got in a stance with a snarl. "You ready, bleach head?"
Frowning at the shot of his Ghost Form, Danny changed and his hands glowed with ecto energy. "Rules?"
"There are none." Laura took off running on all fours with her claws increasing her speed.
"Whoa!" Danny barely turned intangible as she ran through him. "Alright then."
Focusing, Danny let loose a barrage of ecto blasts as Laura deflected them with her claws before coming in for a kick, retracting the claw on her foot so she wouldn't kill him and she would've hit his gut if he didn't lean back.
After leaning back, Danny switched it up by shooting ice at her, but Laura jumped into the air to dodge the attack and was coming at him, so he created a sword made out of ice to block her claws.
"Quick question." Laura growled out as they were holding each other off. "How is it that this can block Adamantium when I kicked through it when we first met?"
"I can make the ice as strong as I want." Danny answered with a cheesy smile. "Right now it's as hard as Vibranium."
"But you rely too much on your powers." Laura stated as she made him lean to the left before kicking his feet out from underneath him and in a second, her claws were an inch away from his throat. "I win."
"Nice one." Danny admitted before Laura pulled her claws back. "Well, I only know a few basic moves, nothing really advanced"
"Then I guess I better start my position of training with you and Tech boy." Laura said.
Danny went pale as he realized that he was going to be in hell for a while.

"…" Xavier had his eyes closed after listening to Scott and Jean. "So this Mutant is immune to telepathy and can be invisible?"
This was really starting to trouble him.
"Yes, but he did say that he wanted to speak with you sometime." Jean said making Xavier frown in thought.
"Then we'll have to wait." Xavier nodded knowing that they had no way of finding this Mutant without knowing a name or knowing what he looked like. "Storm, I want you to send a message to Logan to bring him back."
"Already did, Professor." Ororo told him with her arms crossed.
"You think it'll get that bad?" Scott asked in concern.
"No, but it's best to be prepared." Xavier told him.

"You know, I really regret coming here now." John groaned in pain after Laura thrashed Danny and him around without anyone using their powers. "No using powers? That's practically cheating with her healing factor and skeleton."
"Quit complaining." Laura told him as she drank some water. "A little exercise is good for you."
"It's killing us." Danny muttered in pain.
Laura rolled her eyes. "You're already dead."
"Technically, half-dead." Danny inputted with a raised finger before he felt some chill in his pocket. "What the hell?" He muttered pulling out the list and opening it as a name was appearing. "We have a new possible recruit."
"Already?" John asked in confusion.
"What's the name?" Laura decided to ask.
"Ray Gabriel Chan." Danny read the name on the list. "Current Location Salem, Oregon. Metahuman."
"Salem?" Laura crossed her arms. "That's quite a ways away."
"No problem." John had a huge grin. "We can test out the improvements I made to the Haven."
"Haven?" Danny gave John a weird look before realizing what he was talking about. "Y-You named the Jet?"
Now John looked a little embarrassed. "Well, I worked on it and I was thinking about it for a while."
"Why Haven?" Laura asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Well isn't that what this place is?" John asked gesturing to the building as they ran to the Jet. "A haven for those who need it?"
"I guess it seems appropriate." Danny admitted as they got on.
"There's one thing." John looked at them with some embarassment shown on his face. "I kind of made a uniform for myself as well as Laura."
"What?" Laura asked with narrowed eyes.
"What about me?" Danny asked feeling left out.
"No offense, but you already have a uniform." John told him as he opened a compartment that was in the Jet to show a black and yellow body suit and a yellow mask with black goggles and a red headband. "What do you think?"
"What materials are in it?" Danny asked as John held it out.
"Experimental tech that I made from the pieces I've been gathering." John explained with a smile. "I made a small rechargeable shield for it but it isn't strong and the suit can stop bullets but a barrage of them can still fatally wound me."
"Where do you get the parts?" Danny felt the need to ask in shock.
"You'd be surprised by the well working parts in broken electronics that people throw away." John admitted with a smirk. "I scavenge, clean and repair with those parts." Then he opened another compartment. "This is Laura's."
It was a pure black bodysuit with gloves that had metal where her claws could come out of, combat boots and a motorcycle helmet that looked pretty futuristic.
"The helmet has a filter to where it doesn't bother her sense of smell." John said as Laura picked the helmet up. "I know she can heal, but I'm pretty sure that you're not a masochist so I added the same shield as mine, bear in mind the shields are mere prototypes. And the metal on the gloves are to keep the claws in place, because I noticed them bending back whenever she was using them."
"Impressive." Laura found herself admitting to him as she felt the material.
"Alright, let's suit up-." Danny went red as Laura began to take her shirt off. "Uh, what are you doing?!" He asked turning around away from her.
"Suiting up." Laura answered like it was obvious although she was confused on why Danny and John left the Jet. "Weird."
"Uh, does she do that often?" John asked Danny while they were waiting for Laura to finish and he was suiting up out of view.
"No." Danny said not wanting to give Laura's past out unless she was alright with it before he heard footsteps as Laura came out with the full gear on. "Whoa." Danny whistled in awe at how bad ass she looked.
"One more thing, don't call me John." John said as he came out in his uniform with the mask making his voice sound more mechanical. "I chose the name Forge as a code name." When Danny gave Forge a questioning look, he sighed. "You call yourself Phantom, so why not?"
"Can't really argue with that." Danny shrugged as he went Ghost before looking at Laura. "You come up with a codename?" When Laura went to speak, Danny quickly said. "And X-23 does not count."
'X-23?' Forge thought in confusion as Laura went silent for a few seconds before looking back up.
"Call me Talon."
Danny nodded as he looked at the team that they were. "Let's get going."
"You're going to love the Haven." Forge said excitedly. "With how much time I spent on her, I guarantee that she is one of the best stealth ships in the world, and she will soon be the best!"
"So what upgrades are we talking?" Danny asked before he saw that Forge also inputted quite a few more seats and they were more comfortable.
"Besides the new chairs, I put in a few afterburners to hide from infrared scanners, some flares just in case we get in a fire fight and I put in a few guns on it so this baby packs quite a punch." Forge explained sounding more like an excited child in a candy shop. "Plus there are the Chaff and ECM's." Seeing Danny's lost look he clarified. "Chaff's are Radar Counter-Measures and ECM's are Electronic Counter-Measures."
"Man, you have been busy." Danny commented before he saw a cup holder come out of his chair. "You seriously added cup holders?" He asked in disbelief.
Talon joined in on the disbelief while Forge smiled a bit under his mask. "What? We all get thirsty and what if we're flying while drinking something?"
'Forge doesn't know how much he just reminded me of my Dad.' Danny thought with a chuckle as Forge sat in the Pilots seat since he knew all the upgrades, although Talon was sitting with him to make sure Forge knew what he was doing.
"So what's the plan?" Talon asked as the Haven took off into the air.
"Find this Ray, and see if he wants to join us."
"Hey, just out of curiosity, what exactly are we calling ourselves?" Forge asked as he looked over the systems while in flight.
"It doesn't matter." Danny answered plainly as he sat back. "We're just offering a safe haven."
"That's why we need a name." Forge commented with a laugh.
"Talon, what do you think-?" Danny felt his eye twitch when he saw Talon without her helmet on listening to a small MP3 player and reading a book. "Look, we'll come up with something later, Forge."
"Far out." Forge commented as the Jet sped off.

In Salem, a blur was running by people as they didn't notice before it came to a huge house and the door was already opened, with the man bending down to get the paper so the blur ran by him, causing the man to shiver.
"Some wind." The man muttered.
The blur eventually made it to a certain room where a six foot tall Chinese, Mexican American fifteen year old male, with brown eyes and black hair wearing a bullet ridden vest, with the body of an Olympian Sprinter took it off to show a shirt full of bullet holes.
"Damn it." The teen muttered under his breath as he took the shirt off to show dry blood. "I really need to stop running into those damn bomb squads."
Hearing footsteps, the teen became a blur as he scrubbed the blood off, hid the vest and the t-shirt while donning large blue shirt and dark blue skinny jeans before the door opened as he sat on the bed.
"Ray?" A Mexican woman with dark brown hair looked in to see the teen.
"Zǎoshang hǎo, mǔqīn. (Good Morning, Mother.)" Ray Gabriel Chan said with a smile in Mandarin.
Mrs. Chan smiled. "At least you're keeping with your studies." She said causing Ray to smile a bit.
"So what's the visit for?" Ray asked curiously getting up to follow his Mom.
"To tell you that your Father and I are going to be late coming home from work."
Ray frowned a bit remembering how his Mom, Maria Gonzales was the CEO of the Western Oscorp Board of Directors while his Dad, Lou Chan was the Head Scientist at the Western Oscorp Branch. "Alright." He said feeling used to it.
Maria nodded as she turned to leave. "Stay safe."
"I will." Ray promised as she closed the door before he lay back with his hands behind his head. "Tch, right I promise just like how you and Dad love each other." He said bitterly.
As Ray closed his eyes to rest, he didn't know that three people were coming to meet him and that they would change his life forever.
To Be Continued…
Man this one took a while with an OC that was introduced.
Now, more about Ray will be explained in future chapters but right now I want to get some stuff out of the way before they're commented on.
I'll admit the chapter name could've been better, but I was grasping at straws here.
Forge is a powerful Technopath that created a Transdimension Projector in the freaking seventies, so I believe that the stuff I had him made were well within his ability in this time.
I also made his personality up with some bits from the X-Men Evolution cartoon put in since he only showed up in two episodes.
Talon is a master of many different fighting styles since she was forced to learn everything to become the most efficient killer, so she could win in a lot of fights, especially since Danny isn't the greatest in hand-to-hand combat.
She's also very closed off from people and while she may communicate with them, she doesn't consider anyone her friend except for maybe Danny. The reason it's a 'maybe' is because while he did save her from the Weapon X program, she isn't really one to trust anyone.
As for the Jet, well I figured since I practically had them steal it in the first chapter, it should be their main form of transportation along with Forge making it a stealth jet that will soon rival the Blackbird of the X-Men, also so they could get into aerial fights when the time demands it.
Now, Danny has changed in the last two years and I think when he confronted Mystique about attacking John, it showed. Plus I have quite a few Major Marvel Event Comics from the Original Galactus Saga to the Messiah Complex Saga, so tell me if you want me to add one of the Saga's in, I plan to actually have the Civil War at some point in this story but it won't be for a freaking 'long' time!
Also, when I typed in the 'Mandarin' it's actually Chinese because I couldn't find Mandarin on Google Translate.
*Coughs* Now let's get to the reviews.
Inviso-Al: I hope you'll like it when I do introduce him to the other heroes.
Phantom Fan: Sure, just be aware that I'm not sure how I would type his accent.
Guest1: Now that would be telling.
TheWhiteTitan: Thank you! I hope you enjoyed this chapter as well.
Coldblue: Man another OC? Thanks! And I hope you like how I did with Ray in this chapter, I already have his Codename prepared as it will be revealed in a chapter or two. But this new OC sounds cool and I could introduce Spider-Man and Daredevil when I bring her in without it being too convenient. As for the pairings that will be a surprise and I no longer need OC's, otherwise I will get too many of them.
Good point on the Laura/Danny thing though.
TitanX: I'll add him because it would also give Danny and him a common enemy with the GIW, but why were they hunting him?
NightMaster000: No problem in accepting another OC, I'm happy people are offering them in making this story. As for Magneto and Xavier knowing about a third party? I'd figure it would make things interesting. As for making them grey, I thought that since Xavier's team is all about peace, and Magneto's is about supremacy, that having grey morality would work for Danny's. So far for the plans and goals it's just to give a safe haven to those who need it, but that will change over time.
Whumbly: *Whistles in amazement.* This is a pretty cool OC and you have an original bio for him. I will have him show up!
The Summer Stars: *Laughs nervously* No need to get Mr. Stabby, I already have Talon threatening me about that.
Phantom-Fan: Huh, good question. I guess that Wolverine and Laura are in a league of their own, right?
Alright, that's enough OC's for now and I hope that everyone who submitted one will be happy with how I type them!
