Chapter 4: Aftermath part 2
Sam and Tucker have just arrived at FentonWorks and have discovered that the door was locked.
"Awe, man now what?"asked Tucker
Sam grinned and pulled out a lock pic. Within a minute the door was opened.
"Do I want to know why you are so good at lock picking "
"Probably not"
After that they went upstairs and opened Danny's door.
Danny was sleeping soundly when he heard his door open. Instinctively he jumped out of bed and landed perfectly of his feet in a battle stance. Only then did his mind process who was at his door.
Meanwhile Sam and Tucker were bewildered and surprised by their friend's actions. While it was true that they saw him do the exact same tricks several hours prior, they were still awed by the display.
Danny straightened out and asked" Sam, Tuck what are you doing here?"
Sam was brought out of staring at Danny's chest and stomach by that question and then Tucker answered
"We were worried. I mean you were shot and speaking of witch shouldn't you be in a hospital?" he said shuddering at the word hospital.
While this was going one Sam was looking at Danny. Besides the muscles she also noticed the scars that littered every inch of his skin (witch she thought was very very sexy).
"No, there's no need, I patched myself up, I mean that's why I came home" said Danny nonchalant
Tucker's jaw was on the floor" B-but the pain-"stuttered Tucker
"It was nothing. And besides I got myself a souvenir" said Danny pulling the bullet out of his pocket and placing it in Tucker's hand.
"That's just wrong dude" said Tucker placing the bullet back in Danny's hand
"Whatever. Now tell me how are thing at school?"
"Besides the obvious, peachy" said Sam sarcastically
"I've expected something like that" said Danny and then turned to his friends" now would you please go away so I can get some rest"
Sam and Tucker looked at each other before turning and leaving. When they were outside and away from prying ears they began to talk
"Did you see his muscles „asked Tucker
"Yes, did you see his scars?" asked Sam
Tucker nodded "What do you think happened to him. Do you think that whatever caused it might be the reason for why he has begun distancing himself from us?" asked Tucker worried
Sam sighed "I don't know but I have a feeling that whatever this is should be better left alone because I don't think we can handle it". Tucker however didn't notice that Sam's eyes flashed green before she spoke.
Danny didn't like doing this, but it was necessary he thought as he floated invisibly above his two friends having just recovered his duplicate. After that he went back to his room and waited his 'parents' return and the police questioning.
Danny flopped onto his bed and started to think. When did he stop seeing Jack and Maddie as his parents? Well that would be easy. You see about a year ago he asked one simple question: if he were to become a ghost would they destroy him? They answered truthfully of course and said that he would no longer be himself but just a monster out for blood. In that moment he realized that if he told them about his ghost half, then they would kill him or at least try to 'cure' him which could have resulted in another Dan.
About a month after that Clockwork came to see him and then informed him of an ancient law that said that whoever defeated the previous king shall be the new one. With this revelation he gave Danny the Ring of Rage and said that he would be referred to as the Prince of all Ghosts until he decides to take up the throne, and if he wished his coronation can happen within a month. Danny was stunned but quickly said that he was not yet ready for such a responsibility. He also asked Clockwork if he could help him with his current family trouble and so he ended up in a secret order of people that fight for the liberty of mankind from tyrannical rulers. The order was originally called hasashin but that change over the centuries to Assassin (A/N: Yes, Danny is an Assassin but that was the only way to explain what will come in future chapters). They were his true family and for that he unofficially renounced the name Fenton and picked up Nightingale instead. So, in reality, he was Daniel James Nightingale-Phantom, halfa, Assassin of the Brotherhood, Lord of Achea and of the FarFroven and High Prince of all Ghosts. He was also grateful to have met them because they have provided him with much needed financial support as well as connections that were quite useful.
At that moment the phone rang. He picked up and at the other end was Maddie phoning him from a ghost convention in Canada to ask him if he was alwright. He said that he was because he did not want to deal with them at the moment. They said that he needed to go to the police station to answer some question, so he agreed and hung up, and then headed towards the station.
After several hours he was allowed to return home and he was thankful that Jazz was at collage and had decided to cut all ties with Jack and Maddie as well. Danny had dinner alone then meditated for a bit before closing the portal so no ghosts could escape and then he went to bead thinking about the day that is to come.
He was not looking forward to school one bit.
Then he thought about it a bit more. Maybe this was not a bad thing mainly because it opened up quite a few doors, but the downside was that his secret would be at risk but then again why should he care. He was going to leave Amity Park as soon as he finished school and made sure the elder Fentons were in jail and bought themselves and the portal were in the hands of the Brotherhood and away from the Templars.
Danny grinned. This would definitely not be a bad thing. And with that he went back to sleep.
A/N: Ok, now let me explain some things. Danny is an Assassin but this is not a DP/AC crossover. I'm just using the history and several elements from the games, though they will be only lore based.
