The gun whined as He lifted it to their heads. "Make a choice, them or you. Alive people or a dead piece of scum," They sneered. The group of people looked at me: one hopeful, two disgusted, and three shaking their head no. I landed on the ground and held my wrists out. My eyes stayed locked on the ground.

"No, Phantom don't do it!" the three shouted. The two watched utterly surprised. The one watched happy, proud, and slightly knowledgeable as he had figured out just who this Phantom was. They put a ghost-proof handcuffs on my wrist. The handcuffs were constantly zapping me.

"Silly ghost, you should have known we couldn't have any witnesses," they sneered and smirked. Loud noises followed. Shots followed, mostly. Then a thud.


I opened my eyes and removed my hands from my ears. Then I heard a whimper. Quickly I followed it to a cage that had a small green animal inside. It whimpered and shook as it stood caged in, blood leaking onto the floor. Cujo! "No," I whispered. I pulled out a thermos from one of my secret pockets. It stored and ran off of ecto energy. So, Cujo should be able to heal faster in there. "I'm so sorry," I whispered. Cujo whimpered slightly but his shaking had stopped. "I promise. I'm going to help you. I will protect you," I swore. I opened the cage with lock picks I had used for the door into this hell. I then pulled the cap off the thermos and sucked him inside. I heard a small yelp from inside.
I never break my promises. The only problem was, I didn't know how to keep this one. I was a thief. I had no money. I didn't have a safe place to stay. I wasn't even totally healthy. I'd never be able to live with myself though if I didn't keep my promise. I couldn't even totally deal with Cujo being hurt. He was mine in a way. Always running to me whenever he escaped the ghost zone. He was happy and loyal. Now he was broken. I wiped a tear away as it slid down my cheek.

I pulled out a PDA and using the skills T-Tucker had taught S-Sam and me, I downloaded and deleted any info on their computers. Then I slipped the device away and planted small bombs all over the rooms. They would never use this room again. Ever. I ran upstairs with the thermos shaking in my hand. The bombs' detonator lay clumsy in one of my pockets. I opened the door slowly as I heard fighting.

I slipped into a shadowed corner and watched and listened, so I would know what I was going to jump into. In the main room Batman and Batgirl were fighting the Joker and Harley. Robin was fighting the Riddler in a separate wing it sounded like. Catwoman was tied up, while Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze had escaped. I snuck over to where Catwoman was and quickly cut her ropes with one of the throwing daggers. Then Batman slammed Joker into the wall as Catwoman slipped into the shadows as well. "What are you doing here?" Batman growled.

Joker let out an insane cackle and I twitched again. He spotted where Catwoman had been tied up and smirked. "Isn't it obvious, Bats? We're having a little party in honor of Kitty's apprentice graduating! And YOU crashed it!" Joker shouted. Then Joker tried to stab Batman and with that their fight continued.

As Catwoman slipped out and watched from a window I crept toward Harley, whom was getting her but kicked. "I will not allow you to destroy one of our city's oldest buildings!" Batgirl shouted. Then Batgirl knocked Harley down with a batarang. I decided it was time to intervene. I used the shadows to get in the right position and then sent her a flying roundhouse kick to the face.
"So, you can stand for experimentation and dissections that was happening in the basement? That's not very heroic of you." I growled sending her my best glare. She gasped and took a step back, but a took a step forward real quick. Then pulling out a few throwing knives I quickly aimed and threw them close enough to make her move. "What, Do you only go after obvious criminals? The ones that hide within the system are perfectly safe from your JUSTICE," I continued to growl and said Justice so sarcastically that it practically flooded the air.

"What are you talking about?" Batgirl shouted back, not happy about being tossed and accused of not doing her job, "What's your proof?!"

"I'm talking about the government you trust, oh so much… and the proof… that you won't want to see," I said my voice starting to go into monotone. I dodged the girl's kick and leaped over a glass display case. I then slid next to Harley. "You, ok Quinn?" I asked.

"Kiiiiiiiiiiidddd!" She whined, "I was doin' fine!"
"No you weren't," I deadpanned. I looked over to see Batman looking for Catwoman, as Joker was trying to get away. I didn't want any of this. I just wanted to find my family. I guess I had to face the… "And my name isn't Kid, it's Repercussion. You better go before your man leaves without you. I'll be fine," I stated. I dodged a batarang and went back to my battle with Batgirl.

"Batgirl! He's still mostly innocent!" Bat yelled as we were fighting.

"Think of what you're doing!" Batgirl instantly yelled at me. I blocked her punch and then tried to swipe her off her feet. "Do you want to be marked as a criminal for the rest of your life…?"

I cut her off. "Blah, blah, blah. Shut it, girlly. Everything you say goes in one ear and out the other," I announced. A smirk pulled at the corner of my mouth. Oh witty banter, How I love thee.

"You don't want to ruin your life!" She shouted. I stumbled back and clamped my hands over my ears and closed my eyes as I continued to move backwards. The weapon whined. Pain. Shots were fired. Blood everywhere. A loud thud.

My hands lower and I open my darkened eyes. "My life was ruined a long time ago," my voice echoed hollowly and emotionlessly. I grabbed multiple knifes and threw them at her. She was pinned. Her clothes were against the wall and with the slightest move she would let out a hiss. I pulled out the PDA and sent any videos to the opposite PDA. Then as I walked up to her I switched PDAS. I slipped the PDA into one of her pockets in the belt around her waist. "You may not want to wash that. It may be too much for a pretty little thing like you." I whispered in her ear. Then I heard a whooshing sound. I backed up and did an aerial over a batarang that was sent my way. "Remember, you can always come to the dark side. We have cookies," I stated with a smirk. She just glared making me smirk more. Has antagonizing my foes always been this much fun?

Then something banged into me and forced me to the ground. I looked up to spot… Robin! "Robin," I whispered. I was completely frozen. He became a hero. Just like in our game. He stared at me confused with ocean blue eyes. Ocean… "Faker," I gasped. Dick and me had crystal blue. Then I heard metal hitting the ground. The thermos I had been holding the whole fight was now on the ground. "NO!" I shouted. The top fell off and Cujo came out. He was covered in stitches and scars. He had finally stopped bleeding though. Cujo spotted fake Robin and me.

Cujo growled and grew. Then he knocked fake Robin off me. I stood up just as something electric hit Cujo and he whimpered and fell to the ground. "Cujo!" I looked around for the thermos and spotted it in between the three bats. I ran and used every move I knew and saw to get to it with out getting hit. "Please be okay Cujo," I murmured as I sucked him up in thermos as I grabbed it. Then I heard beeping. I looked to the ground and spotted the detonator and a few other bombs. "Oh, no! The bombs!" I shouted. I had to leave. I would get really hurt by the explosion. Even more so, because I was a ghost. "go, go, go, go, go, Go, Go, Go, GO!" I started to mumble but ended up screaming. Then just as the bombs went off I disappeared in a green puff of smoke.


40 minutes later in jump city…

"Yo, Rob!" Beast Boy called. Robin looked up from the notes on the computer that he had on his brother and stared at Beast Boy. Beast Boy held up a phone to Robin. Beast Boy better not be asking me to call for pizza again. "There's a call for you!" He announced.

Robin took the phone and B-Boy bounced away. "Hello?" Robin spoke into the phone.

"This is Robin, correct?" a male voice asked.

"Yes. Who is this?" Robin replied.
"Please excuse me for not introducing myself immediately, dear boy. My name is Vlad Masters," Vlad greeted.
