Chapter Seven: Don't Jinx Me!

Sunday Afternoon- Danny's bedroom:

"Well yeah, it went pretty well, but they definitely still don't trust me." Danny said into the phone. He was sitting on his bed tinkering with a model rocket. It was one he finished recently and had the NASA emblem sticker on the side. "No, of course not, what am I suppose to do go 'hey guys I'm Danny Fenton and I'm also the ghost boy, Danny Phantom!' they'd kill me before I had a chance to say 'boo'." He paused for a moment listening. "I know Sam but I don't think it's a good time yet, I'm just waiting for the right moment..." He stopped again. "Well if I can get away with never... I will." Danny pulled the phone away form his ear as a yell came through the phone. "Uhh... Sam?" He waited for an answer and replied. "Oh, bummer, I'll let you go then. Yeah, talk to you later. Okay! I get it, what do you want me too do about it? No I can't do that. NO! Sam, you know I can't over shadow your mom just because you don't want to wear a dress! Well, then, go. I understand, okay. Bye. Sam... Good bye." Danny hung up the phone.

As he set his rocket aside he heard a knock at his door. "Danny?" It was Jazz. She opened the door slowly and walked in. "How are you?"

Danny gave her an odd look, "Fine... Tuck is always pressing me for details on the Titans, he's obsessed, he thinks Star is hot and Cy is the coolest thing that ever walked the planet!"

Jazz laughed light heartedly. "Well, that's Tucker."

"Yeah." Danny said.

The three male Titans entered the room just then. Beast Boy stopped when he saw Jazz, hearts filling his eyes yet again. "BB, you are crazy! How would you know? You wouldn't know!" Cyborg growled.

"Hu?" Beast Boy said coming out of his daze. "Oh, well, I think you're crazy! I mean is it that hard to believe? Ghost are weird Raven is weird, and she likes weird! Plus of course I don't know, that's why they call it a theory! Hello!"

"Like you're zombie theory?" Robin laughed.

"What are you talking about?" Jazz asked.

"Beast Boy thinks Raven likes the ghost boy." Cyborg said bluntly.

Danny blinked as he stood, "What makes him think that?"

"Duh! She never took her eyes off of him and like she was the first one at the fountain!"

"And you know this how?" Cyborg asked; then in a more mocking voice. "You like her don't you?"

"No!"

"Well if you don't then how do you know all that stuff? I think you were staring at her!"

"I was not!"

Robin looked at Danny and Jazz with a 'here we go again' look. "So Robin, how was the meeting with Danny Phantom?" Danny asked.

"Okay..."

A beeping suddenly broke in and Robin pulled out his communicator "Mayor?"

"Titans! Trouble!" The Mayor laughed. "I always wanted to say that!"

"Ghost trouble?" Cyborg asked.

"No, it's a robbery, and a big one, our officers can't get near them!"

"Alright we'll take care of it!" The three Titans ran out of the room and Danny followed.

"Danny! Wait!" Jazz called, but he either didn't hear her or didn't mind.

Out at Cyborg's car, the Teen Titans gathered, Starfire and Raven were there too, they had joined up in the living room. "What are you doing?" Robin demanded when Danny came to a stop.

"I want to come."

"No way."

"Why not?"

"Hello, we're the ones with the training and powers here!" Beast Boy blurted his arms waving dramatically.

"Stay here!" Robin ordered.

The Titans climbed in the car and drove off. Danny watched with slumped shoulders. Then an idea hit. "You told the Danny with out powers to stay away," Danny's eyes flashed green. "But you never told the Danny with powers to stay away. Going Ghost!" He transformed and soared off.

Jack opened the front door then looked around suspiciously before shrugging and returning back inside for a cookie from Maddie.


Sunday at the Amity Park Jewelry store:

Danny fallowed Cyborg's car from above till they came to a stop in front of Amity Park's Jewelry store. "Titans! Go!" He heard Robin yell as he swooped down invisibly fazing through the ceiling. There stood a large - kid that was furry, large, and muscled. He was carrying a bag loaded with anything his two friends got there hands on. One was a tiny, short, and balled boy while the other was a tall, thin, and pink girl. She was the first to see the Titans.

"Snot burgers!" The tiny one yelled when the girl pointed them out. "What are the butter scotched mule mongrels doing here?"

'Well that was an interesting choice of words.' Danny thought as he floated by the ceiling.

Cyborg roared with rage. "Well if it isn't the hive Triplets!"

Danny could tell from Cyborg's voice that he did not like the three, but it didn't afect how the Teen Titans worked. They sprung on the trio wordlessly moving into working groups.

Raven went for the pink girl; there attacks of pink and black colliding like static electricity. While Robin spun knocking the big brut on his back with a loud thud and grabbed on to Cyborg's arm in order to be spun around for a continues assault. Then Starfire provided a furry of star-bolts to cover Robin as Cyborg left to help Beast Boy with the little gizmo kid.

Danny gaped. 'Whoa, they're strong.' They worked as if they could hear each others thoughts. Easily and freely. "This is just awesome! The Teen Titans in action!" Danny stared in aw at his luck as the fight continued.

Beast Boy and Cyborg Came up on the little one with the gadgets, but he dodged laughing as the two Titans collided with each other. The brute growled throwing a large brick at Robin, but Raven caught it with her telekinesis and through it at the pink witch. The girl flipped to her feet quickly though and zapped Raven across the store before jumping out of the brawl. "Huh?" Danny looked on confused 'what is she up too?' She ran down a hall leading too a back office, Danny followed. She stopped in the room and started rummaging through her pockets. Danny became visible behind her but she of course was looking the other way. "What are you doing?" He asked.

She jumped spinning, her hands flexed like claws. "Who are you?"

"Danny Phantom."

"Well, Danny, this doesn't involve you so I suggest you leave." She said as if to a child.

"I don't think so, you're robbing, I'm stopping."

"Actually, they're robbing, I'm just -" she pulled something out of her pocket and pressed a button. The wall behind her exploded reviling a now opened volt. She reached in and out fast. "Taking this!" She held it up, putting her free arm toward him. "Oh, and you're so cute to- in a geeky sort of way." She fired at Danny with one of her pink blast, but it just went through him. "What are you?!"

"Danny!" Robin barked. Danny flinched; he knew Robin probably wouldn't like him showing up like this. "What are you doing?"

"Trying to help!"

"Oh? By letting the thief get away?"

Danny turned to see Jinx sneaking away; she stopped and smiled, then ran. Danny shot off and grabbed her. "I wouldn't have let her get away!" Danny said "You just distracted me."

"You're not even suppose to be here! This isn't a ghost problem!" Danny sat Jinx down but left a firm grip on her wrist.

Danny glared at the boy wonder. "So what, just because I'm not human I can't help?"

"No, because you're a ghost." Robin said. "No one can trust you."

Danny bristled. "Not all ghost are evil you know!"

Robin snorted. "Prove it."

The two glared at each other.

"Wait," Jinx said confused. "So you two aren't buddies?"

"She took something from the volt." Danny said ignoring Jinx, acid in his voice. "You might want to know what it is."

Robin took his glare from Danny to Jinx, "What is it?"

"S-some device, it's in my pocket." She said. "I don't know what it does! We were just told to pick it up!"

Robin walked up and took the device out it was a small white chip with red wires on it. "A chip?" Danny asked.

"I don't know." Robin admitted. "Who ordered you to still this?" Robin asked Jinx she just looked away stubbornly.

Danny looked at it. "It looks familiar." Danny looked even closer at it, there was a small word printed on it. Dalv. 'Vlad!' Danny thought. "Why would they steal this?" Danny grabbed it out of Robins hand but dropped it just as fast. He let out a yelp and stuck his hands in his mouth.

Robin picked it up and looked sideways at Danny. "What?"

"It burns!" Danny yelled.

"What? It does not!" Jinx said pulling to escape Danny's solid grip. "Your hand is freezing! Let me go!"

Robin laughed. "What did you expect? He's a ghost."

Jinx stopped struggling and looked at Robin horrified. "You were serious!?" She looked at Danny. "No way." She laughed. "Some ghost!"

Danny glared at her. Did everyone have to give him grief today?

"BOO!" The Box ghost jumped out of the volt. "I am the Box Ghost! FEAR ME!"

Jinx screamed and fainted.

"Smooth." Danny said catching her as he watched the Box Ghost vanish. "For once, it was actually a good thing he was around." Frowning Danny looked at the unconscious girl in his arms. "Now what?"

"I'll take her to the police vehicle with her friends out front, you better go. They still think your public enemy 1, remember?"

"They?" Danny smiled. Robin smiled back and took Jinx from him.

"Maybe." Robin said, glaring slightly, just to make sure that Danny knew this was only to see what happened.

"Thanks." Danny said before he soared out through the roof.

Out in front of the store…

Robin came out carrying Jinx in his arms. He handed her to the police and walked over to his friends but looked back at the building.

"Robin?" Starfire questioned.

"Hum?"

"What happened in the store of jewels?"

"I just ran into a friend." Robin pulled out the device and handed it too Cyborg. "Find out what this is, have the Fenton's help you, and if you can, find out who owns it."

"Why?"

"It hurts ghosts."

"What would the hive want with something that hurts ghost?" Beast Boy asked.

"Who knows, but what ever it is it can't be good. Well, Titans, I think the rules have changed." Robin said. "We're in Amity Park now and we'd better adapt."

Beast Boy raised his hand. "I think Robin's gone mad and I vote we should select a new leader."
