Disappearing Act

Chapter 7

"Who was that, Jazzy-pants?" Jack asked as Jazz glared at the phone.

"Mom wants us to go to Texas," Jazz said annoyed. "I think she broke. Danny has been gone for almost a full year, and she has finally lost it." Jack looked at his daughter.

"Well, we miss him. You can't blame her," Jack said sadly looking down. "I really miss him. I should have known something was wrong when he disappeared from school so often. I never thought that he would never come back. He always came back every other time. I should have known…"

"Dad, it's not your fault," Jazz said hugging her dad. "I lost my brother, but I'm afraid to lose mom." Jack hugged her as she cried once more. "Why didn't he come back?"

"I don't know, honey. I wish I did though," Jack said as a few tears slid down his face.


"Why would they go to Texas?" Masters asked looking around his hotel room. "I don't get it; why would they go there?"

"Maybe they have more info than we thought about the Child?" Skulker said looking at his employer.

"They do have trackers that can find him," Vlad said annoyed looking around his room. "I have some other business to attend before that. I need some evidence from the police before I can leave to see what they have found." Skulker frowned.

"What did you do now?" Skulker asked looking annoyed at his boss.

"I may have attacked a man that I thought had info on Phantom," Vlad said annoyed that he may have been wrong. "Now I have to cover the mess up." Skulker smirked.

"That's your problem, not mine," Skulker laughed. Vlad glared at him.

"You are going to Texas and I want you to find young Danny, and bring him here," Vlad growled throwing an ecto-ball by Skulker. Skulker glared at him and left mumbling under his breath.


"Danny, where are we going?" Jane asked looking around at the green atmosphere. They had been thrown around going back and forth between a destroyed Amity Park and one that was completely fine.

"I'm not entirely sure what you would call it, but I do know that I'm now in a freaking coma," Danny said annoyed. Jane just looked at him confused.

"Then what am I in?" Jane asked as the scenery changed into a wasteland of the Ghost Zone. Danny frowned.

"I don't know," Danny said looking around the Zone and watching as it went back to normal. "However, last time I ended up here, it never changed back and forth like this," Danny said as the scenery changed again into Amity Park completely fine. Danny looked back and they watched as a younger of Danny played in the park with a younger Sam and Tucker.

"We are in your memories now," Jane said remembering something from a book he read during his time as a psychic. "I remember reading about something like this in a book I have read. I didn't believe it could really happen, but after this, maybe it has some ground now." Danny looked up and smiled.

"Mind telling me how we plan on getting out," Danny said as the younger versions disappeared and then a memory of a ghost attacked happened. Jane looked up as Phantom smiled and attacked the threat. Danny smiled up at himself.

"I want things to go back to this," Danny said looking at Jane. "Where I could beat the ghost easily and not have to worry about everything flying out of my control. Now everything is falling apart." Jane looked over back at Danny who seemed completely different from the fighter above them. They were completely different from each other and Jane was having some trouble trying to see how these two were the one in the same.

"We'll get this figured out, Danny," Jane said reassuringly putting his hand on Danny's shoulder and kneeling in front of him. "You're a good kid, Danny. Don't let anyone tell you different, you have done more to help people than anyone else I know and you have a wonderful heart in you. Even when things get bad, you are still going to fight until your last breath fighting for something you believe is right." Danny smiled up at him. "It's your fight, Danny; you will win as long as you have people by your side and the determination to do what needs to be done."

"Thanks, Jane," Danny said as Phantom landed next to them.

"Hi," Phantom said happily. Danny and Jane looked back at him confused. "I'm not a memory like you thought; I'm actually your ghost side." Danny's mouth opened and Jane just looked confused. "What? Did you honestly think that Danny was one person? He's a ghost and a human in one body."

"That makes sense," Jane said standing up and looking at Phantom. Phantom smiled at them.

"You're not like Sam and Tucker described you," Danny said smiling remembering when he split himself. Phantom glared playfully at his human counterpart.

"That was so not me," Phantom said still glaring. Jane looked at the two confused. Danny smiled.

"I'm not lazy either, however, I do want to know what happened to my bed sheet," Danny said smiling at the annoyed Phantom. Jane watched as the two acted as best friends fighting over something that just entertains them.

"Good question," Phantom said smiling at him. Jane shook his head as both Phantom and Danny remembered what was really going on.

"You two work together and are completely at ease with each other, even if Danny here had no idea he was really two people," Jane said smiling as Phantom stood next to Danny. "How people never knew you two were one in the same was because you act so differently. That's why no one put two and two together. They had no idea that you would act so differently in another form."

"That would explain so much," Phantom said.

"And yet so little," Danny added looking at his ghostly counterpart. "We need to get out of here, have any ideas?" Phantom looked at him dumbly.

"How am I supposed to know? I'm just other part of you," Phantom yelled. Jane looked at him confused.

"That…is confusing," Jane said as the three started walking again and the scenery changed into a destroyed Amity Park. "Can you explain why this happens?" Phantom looked at him with fear written on his face. Danny noticed and confirmed what he was thinking.

"A bad future," Danny whispered walking faster as Phantom followed like a lost little puppy. Jane watched the two walked off sadly. He followed as they walked up to an apartment like building with a space-ship like thing on top.

"Who lives here?" Jane asked as the teens entered with Jane following them.

"I do," they answered at the same time. They looked at each other and smiled. "We do." Jane smiled at them as they headed to a basement like place.

"So what are we doing here?" Jane asked as they went to opposite areas of the lab and then looked at each other confused.

"Hoping for something to help us out of this mess," they both said at the same time. "This is creepy."

"It's because you are the same person," Jane said as he looked over some of the devices on a table across the room. Phantom and Danny walked over to where he was.

"So since we are the same…" Danny began.

"We think the same ways and then we will say the same things," Phantom ended looking at Danny and smiling. Jane smiled at the two.

"Yes, where Danny has the human qualities which lead him to the area where he felt the strongest in when he entered to where Phantom has the ghostly qualities which lead him to the area where he felt the strongest. It was interesting how you two ended up going to opposite sides of the lab," Jane said to the confused teens.

"That makes sense," Phantom said as Danny looked a little longer before nodding. Jane smiled.

"You even think differently, but your personality is the same," Jane said smiling. "It's kinda interesting and yet hard to understand exactly where that will differ."

"Wonderful," Danny said looking at a snickering Phantom. "Can we find a way out of here now?" Phantom and Jane nodded and started looking around. Jane stopped and looked around the two teens neck for the necklace Danny had been playing with. He found it interesting when Phantom's was gold with green outlining it and Danny's was silver with blue completely outlining it.

"Take off your necklaces," Jane said smiling. "I might have an idea.


Lisbon was busy. She had picked up Danny and put him on the couch and then turned Jane so that he was lying flat on the ground.

"I have no idea what's going on, but I don't think it's anything that is too dangerous," Lisbon said trying to tell herself not to worry about the two. In the short time spent with Danny, she felt very protective of him, like she needed to protect him the world as he protects from the other. She didn't know why she felt like that, she just did. "I just hope you guys wake up soon. I don't want to have a bunch of people coming here and we have to move Danny somewhere else to keep him safe." That was when her cell rang. "Lisbon," she said into the phone casting a worried glance at Danny who was now in his human form and every few moments would change back into a ghost.

Hey, Agent Lisbon, I was wondering if I could talk to Danny. Maddie asked worriedly over the phone. Lisbon sighed.

"He is…busy at the moment," Lisbon said as Danny changed into his human form. "I may have to call you back later." She heard Maddie sigh into the phone. "He has eaten."

Thanks, Lisbon. Maddie had said wishing to speak with her baby boy. I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow then?

"Yes, bye I have to go," Lisbon said and she hung up after Maddie said bye. "I hate having to lie to her, but I don't think she needs to know about this yet."


"I remember you playing with this when you had first showed up. It was a nervous gesture, but it looks different here than it did then," Jane said while he looked at the necklaces as they glowed brighter the closer they got to each other.

"You think that maybe that will help us get out of here," Phantom asked looking at Jane who was staring at the necklaces.

"Remember why I was trying to hypnotize you?" Jane asked smiling. They both nodded confirming that they did. "Well, once we find out what was missing, we can then go back."

"What makes you think that?" Danny asked.

"Just an idea," Jane said as he walked back up. The two teens followed him giving each other confused glances.

"Where are we going?" Phantom asked as they started heading to the outskirts of Amity. Danny watched as the sky grew darker and then a pink blast blew by them.

"I believe this is where that fight with Plasmius happened," Jane said as the two necklaces glowed and started being drawn to each other. Danny and Phantom felt the same pull until they both became one and the same.

"That was weird," Danny Phantom said looking down at his self in ghost mode.

"This is where we need to be," Jane said looking up at another Phantom fighting Plasmius. "This is what we needed to know about." Danny nodded and watched his fight from a different view point on the sidelines.

"Come Daniel, this is…" Plasmius began but was shot out of the air by an angry looking Phantom.

"Leave my friends and family alone," Phantom said angry scaring anyone within hearing range. Jane looked at Danny with wide eyes as Danny just stared at his self. Plasmius paused at the tone Phantom had used.

"That tempered of yours," Plasmius arrogantly. Phantom's eyes glowed greener and he charged up another ecto blast.

"You come near them again and I will destroy you," Phantom said in a deep voice. Plasmius faltered at the tone used, and then smirked taking out a needle and vial.

"That's going to be hard once you are gone and don't have easy access to your ghost powers," Plasmius yelled flying at Phantom again. Phantom ducked, but Plasmius had stuck the needle into his shoulder and injected the glowing red liquid in. "Now you won't have access…"

"ENOUGH," Phantom yelled throwing an ecto blast that was completely white and had a green tint to it. Plasmius smirked and threw up a shield miscalculating the strength of the blast. His shield was destroyed and he was sent into the ground creating a huge crater. "I'm done messing around, Plasmius," Phantom said, his voice lanced with hatred.

"Where did you learn that?" Plasmius asked looking up at Phantom who seemed to be fighting himself. "That kind of power is unheard of." Phantom stopped and glared down at him.

"I will do what it takes to protect those I care about," Phantom said angrily. "Killing you means that they are safe, then I will." Plasmius shuttered at Phantom's voice.

"Leave town," Plasmius said glaring up at Danny.

"You are in no place to be giving order," Phantom said charging up another blast.

"You won't be able to save them in time," Plasmius said lying though his teeth. He had nothing, but is Phantom was ready to kill, he was going to take the chance of getting rid of him before he killed him.

"So not my proudest moment," Danny whispered next to Jane who looked at him with fear in his eyes.

"I would say," Jane said quietly. "I won't tell anyone about this, that might be why you forgot about it. It was something out of character and you didn't want to remember a moment where you had lost it."

"You hurt them and I won't hesitant," Phantom said flying up. Plasmius glared at him.

"Is that a threat?" He asked charging up a blast.

"A promise," Phantom said teleporting away leaving Danny and Jane looking out over a destroyed Amity.

"I really hope you didn't do that before you left," Jane said glaring at Danny. Danny looked down.

"I don't believe I did. This is in my worst memories, this is in another timeline," Danny said pointing to an area where a gravestone was sitting next to the Nasty Burger with his friends and family on it. "This is one of worst things I have ever faced."

"I'm guessing when you said bad future," Jane said as it changed back into a completely fine Amity and kids and parents were playing in the park and everything was peaceful.

"I got a second chance," Danny said smiling. "Everyone deserves that." Jane smiled and looked up as the sky turned black along with everything.


"Jane?" Lisbon asked as Jane groaned and woke up.

"Ow," he mumbled and looked over to the couch where Danny was lying in human form. "I know what happened and why Danny left." Lisbon looked at him confused.

"Vlad lied to him and said that if he didn't leave his family would die," Jane said. "The circumstances to why he went there though are a little scary."

"You don't use words like scary," Lisbon said as Jane got up and walked over to Danny who was starting to wake up.

"How long was I out?" Danny said sitting up and looking at Lisbon and Jane and then remembered what had happened inside his head.

"You both were out for a good three hours," Lisbon said glad that they were okay. Danny looked back at Jane.

"I think an hour was spent over thinking the switching between the Ghost Zone and Amity," Danny said smiling at Jane. Jane shook his head. Lisbon looked between the two completely confused as to what they were doing.

"That might be true," Jane said smiling.

"What are you two talking about?" Lisbon asked looking at the two.

"We were inside his head," Jane answered getting up. "I have to go." Lisbon nodded shaking her head and decided not to ask that she would find out at a better time.

"Okay, get home safe," Lisbon said as Jane left. "Danny, go to bed." Danny smiled and laid down on the couch. "You can pull it out."

"Yeah, but I'm playing lazy teen right now," Danny said opening one eye to look at Lisbon who smiled.

"I'll let it slide then," she said as she headed to her room. "Night, Danny."

"Night, Teresa," Danny said using her first name. Lisbon stopped and looked at him. She never gave him her first name.


Maddie paced her hotel room. Van Pelt watched as the mother of two walked back and forth.

"They'll be fine, Mrs. Fenton," Van Pelt said as Maddie stopped and sat on the bed. "You just have to wait."

"I'm so scared for Danny," Maddie said looking out the window. "Something feels wrong." Van Pelt looked out and watched as the sun rose.

"It'll be okay, we're going to be meeting Lisbon and Danny at the breakfast bar downstairs," Van Pelt said smiling. "In about three hours, why not go ahead and take a nap before then. You don't want to worry Danny then." Maddie nodded and laid down watching as Grace closed the blinds to block out the sun.


"Why are we taking a private jet there?" Jack asked as he and Jazz boarded the plane with an agent.

"I need to check for any devices of any kind. We believe that your family is in danger," the agent said taking out a transmitter to detect any listening devices on a person. And then Cho showed up behind them once everything was clear.

"I'm Agent Cho from the CBI," he said leading them up to their seats.

"CBI?" Jazz asked looking at him.

"California Bureau of Investigation," Cho answered as the seat-belt light came on telling them to strap in and get ready for takeoff.

"I thought we were going to Texas," Jack said glaring at the agent as they took off.

"It was a precaution," Cho said. "Your wife and son are in hiding right now pending an investigation." Jazz stopped glaring and looked at Cho.

"You know where Danny is?" she asked as hope filled her heart once more. Jack looked beyond excited.

"Yes, he is staying with our head agent for safety and your wife along with Danny's two friends are staying at a hotel," Cho answered as they were set to cruising altitude. Jack looked up.

"Maddie, found him," Jack said smiling from ear to ear. Cho smiled slightly.

"Well he found us, and then a ghost girl led them to Danny," Cho said watching their reactions. Jack looked confused and Jazz tilted her head.

"Why would a ghost help us?" Jack asked looking at them. Jazz looked at Cho trying to figure out if he knew or not. Cho smiled.

"That should be answered by Danny," Cho said looking back at them as Jazz smiled.

"You know then," Jazz said as Cho nodded. Jack looked between the two completely lost at the silent message.

"Know what?" Jack asked. Jazz smiled.

"That's what Danny has to tell. It's not my secret to tell," Jazz said as she leaned back and watched the world go by as they headed to California to reunite with a long lost family member. Jack watched as everyone seemed to go into their world.

"Okay," he mumbled looking out the window wondering how Danny had changed and what they were previously talking about. What did Danny hide from us? Is that what caused him to leave? Does have something to do with ghosts? Why did they have to take such a precaution about us going to California? Where had Danny been? What has he done? I just want my boy back; I don't want to play this game anymore. I want the boy that was so excited when I came home and the one who pretended to be a hero and catch all the bad ghosts in our house and lock them away. I want that little boy back. He never worried about anything, but he was always ready to help someone no matter what they had done to him.


"Danny, it's time to get up," Lisbon whispered shaking his shoulder. Danny groaned and looked up at her.

"What?" he asked sitting up and looking around. "Ow," he mumbled rubbing the small of his back.

"You should have pulled out the bed," Lisbon said smiling. "That couch wasn't really the best way to sleep. Your dad and sister will be here at noon and we are having breakfast at the hotel with your mother and friends." Danny brightened.

"Do you have any clothes I can borrow?" Danny asked looking down at the rags he had worn. His shirt was ripped and torn in many places, along with stains of who knows what. His pants were in a similar condition. Lisbon smiled.

"Rigsby gave me some for you earlier when he stopped by to tell me about some things," Lisbon said handing the bag to Danny. Danny smiled and looked in to find a shirt and a pair of jeans. "If you want, you can take a shower." Danny smiled and followed as Lisbon led him to the bathroom.

"Thanks for everything, Lisbon," Danny said smiling as he entered the bathroom. Lisbon smiled as she heard the door lock and the shower start.

"I'm glad you are okay," Lisbon whispered heading to the kitchen to get some coffee and gather some files she had went though while Jane and Danny were off inside Danny's head. "That's weird to think about," Lisbon whispered to herself packing her bags. She heard the shower turn off and a few minutes later Danny walked out with a smile on his face.

"I feel better," he said still grinning. He had on a plain black shirt that had a small logo on the front left side and a pair of dark blue jeans. Lisbon smiled as his damp hair stuck to his face.

"That's good, we have half an hour to get to the hotel," Lisbon said grabbing her keys and walking to the door. Danny followed after putting on a pair of dark brown combat boots.

"Okay," he whispered following her out the door and out to the SUV. This time, Lisbon didn't jump when Danny fazed into the vehicle.


"Dad, wake up we're landed," Jazz said smiling. Cho called Lisbon.

"Lisbon, we're here earlier than we thought," Cho said. "What do you want me to do?"

Go ahead and take them to the hotel. They can go ahead and have breakfast with us. We are running a little late since we got caught at a light. Lisbon said while Cho could hear Danny singing in the back ground.

"Is he singing?" Cho asked. Jazz looked over at Cho as she tried to think about who they were talking.

Danny please, stop. You really aren't that great. Sorry, Cho. He got bored and decided that singing would be a good idea. Lisbon said as Cho imagined Danny like a fox.

"He sounded pretty good here," Cho said as he heard Danny give a whoop of excitement and started singing again. Then he heard squealing tires and Danny saying something about hitting his head on the dash board. "Is he okay?"

He'll be fine, as long as he quits singing. Lisbon said. I will talk to you at the hotel. Bye, Cho.

"Bye, Lisbon," Cho said hanging up.

"How's Danny?" Jack asked concerned. Cho smiled.

"He's fine, but Lisbon might kill him if he keeps singing," Cho said walking up to a SUV. Jazz smiled.

"That doesn't really sound like Danny," Jack said quietly. Jazz looked at him.

"Dad, Danny did that every day to school. I was about ready to kill them when we got to the school and when we got home," Jazz said smiling at the memories. "That sounds like Danny." Jack smiled small feeling put out since he didn't know Danny did that.

"I guess I didn't know him all that well," Jack whispered to himself. Jazz heard, but pretended she didn't. They would get together, fix it, and then be even closer together.


"Danny, knock it off," Lisbon said glaring at the teen in the passenger seat. Danny grinned at her.

"But it's fun," Danny playfully whined still grinning ear to ear. Lisbon smiled.

"What's gotten into you?" Lisbon asked looking at him. "You act so…different from last time." Danny looked at her.

"I guess I'm excited about seeing my family again," Danny said. "All of them together." Lisbon smiled.

"Good, because the plane got here early and they are on their way to the hotel as well, they might be late, but they will be there," Lisbon said as they pulled up the fancy hotel.

"Thanks, Lisbon," Danny said smiling at her. "I wouldn't have been able to get them together without you."

"We had to arrest you, but you're welcome," Lisbon said smiling. "I know your parents wouldn't have done anything to hurt you after seeing them. Well your mother, but I'm sure she wouldn't let your father hurt you either." Danny smiled.

"They would never hurt me on purpose…accident though," Danny said smiling. "That was more my fault." Lisbon smiled.

"You never told them," Lisbon said. "I can understand that. But the proof that Masters has on them is high. We are stepping on water. That was one reason why I was afraid to let you stay with them."

"You thought that they would hurt me?" Danny asked as they entered the hotel.

"I was afraid of getting in trouble with my superiors about letting a possible abuse case stay with the possible abusers," Lisbon said as they headed to the dining hall where Maddie smiled and waved at them.

"I understand," Danny said smiling and running over to his mom. "I missed you guys."

"I missed you to Danny," Maddie whispered into his hair.

"Did they tell you that Dad and Jazz are on their way here as well?" Danny asked pulling back to look into her eyes. Maddie smiled.

"No, but I'm glad that they get to see you. You look a lot better than you did last night when we left," Maddie said rubbing his back and hugging him again. "I can still feel your ribs, but I plan on stuffing you full, so that should no longer be a problem." Danny turned red.

"Mom," he whined. Sam and Tucker laughed and went over to hug their friend as well.

"We missed you dude," Tucker said smiling at his friend as Sam kissed Danny's cheek causing him to blush.

"I missed you guys too," Danny said smiling at them. Lisbon sat down next to Maddie as the teens sat beside their friend and got ready to order.


Vlad paced his hotel room from Hollywood. He decided that sense Daniel wasn't in California, that he didn't need to be close to the investigation. Hopefully they won't find anything and it ends up a cold case. That was what he was waiting for until an explosion happened in the bedroom area of his presidential suite.

"What the…?" Vlad stuttered looking at the destroyed bedroom. A little girl appeared glaring at him. "Who are you?"

"Disappearing," she said and vanished. Vlad couldn't even sense her.

"Who is she and why does she keep following me?" Vlad asked angrily as a couple officers came to his room asking what happened.

"I wish I knew," he whispered reminding his self to ask about her to some of his lackeys.


This should be good, I edited the majority of it. The last couple of story things might need some, but I just typed them and did a quick go though. Also I have a pol up to see what story I should do next... I keep getting these ideas for new crossovers...there might be some you want to see, go ahead and vote. also I don't own anything

Danny: good too, you scare me'

Me: Your point.

Danny: Don't start that again, weirdo

Me: see you have no point!

Danny: sometimes i think you just do that aggravate me.

Me: your not supposed to know that. now I have to kill you

Danny: O.o
