Chapter 9: Daniella's Travels
After she disappeared from the forest.
Daniella appeared in the desert in a flash of lightning. She set her bag down and sat down on her knees. She bent down to the ground and cried. After some time, she stood up and got her bag. She started walking in a random direction, letting the wind tell her where to go.
Daniella was taking in the sites of Las Vegas. The lights were very bright and she managed to find a hotel. She was currently bored, so she left her bag in her room and started walking around, looking for a place that could give her money for her travels.
"Let's see. David's DeLoreans. No. The Broken Stool. No. Charlie's Angels. Alright, that's a definite no." She looked at her map that she picked up and looked up. Daniella saw someone struggling with a car and ran over."Hey. Need some help?" The man, or robot came from under the car, oil on him everywhere. His bright blue eyes shone out through the oil.
"I do not require assistance. I fix anything and everything that come into my shop." He said in a robotic voice.
"How's the car then?" The robot looked back and sighed as the wheel fell off.
"I'll do it for free if you want. I'll just need a favor from you." The robotic man looked at her.
"Deal."
"What is this shop called anyway.
"Fixit's Mechanics. I'm the owner. Fixit Felix."
"Cool, so you're one of those 'I'll do it myself' kind of guys-er-robots." Daniella smiled. Fixit nodded. Daniella looked around and found the toolbox."Go take a few hours off. The car'll be fixed when you get back." Fixit didn't want to leave, but he did want to see what this girl could to a car that he couldn't fix. He walked out and focused his vision to a camera inside of the garage. Daniella grabbed a few wrenches and screwdrivers and set to work. Fixit watched as she worked on the engine first, changed the oil, cleaned and screwed the tire back on, cleaned the inside, changed the transmission, and replaced the broken muffler. He 'came back' when she was done.
"Hey, you're just in time. I'm finished with the car." Daniella had sweat and oil all over her body, but she smiled at the robot.
"I can see that. Well done." Fixit walked to a door and walked in. He came with a few green papers and handed them to Daniella, who handed them back.
"I told you. My services are free of charge. You were struggling and I just wanted to help."
"It is customary for employers to pay there employees." Fixit said as a crack of a smile broke his metal frame.
"Seriously? A job?" Fixit nodded."Why not? I'll only be here a few days, but I could use the money. Thanks." Daniella accepted the money and the handshake.
Over the next few days, Daniella worked at Fixit's place as an assistant. He told her what to do and get, and in return she got money and a favor. One day, Daniella walked up to the autoshop with her bag. Fixit took notice of it right away.
"It is time for you to go?" Daniella nodded.
"Thanks for letting me work here, but I want to see the world, just like my friend did." Fixit nodded and placed something in her hand.
"What's this?"
"It is a Xenon Battery. I found it yesterday and couldn't do anything with it. I was hoping that you would accept it as a parting gift... and a memory." Daniella wrapped her arms around Fixit's head.
"Thank you. I'll find something to do with it, and come back here and show you. I'll never forget Vegas, who would?" Fixit cracked a smile and Daniella turned away and started walking.
"Daniella wait." Daniella turned her head."One last thing." Fixit pressed a button on his arm and the lights in the autoshop went haywire. Different colors popped out at her until they started making shapes. The night sky. The morning sun. A field of flowers, a peaceful beach, and it stopped on the Fentons. They waved at her and her eyes watered. She smiled and waved at Felix.
"See you later Felix!" Daniella said as she ran off, joy in her steps. Fixit shut down the lights and went back to his work. This would have to be something that he would tell Cyborg.
A few weeks later, Daniella found herself in Japan. It was a small country and had the most advanced technology on earth. Daniella stared in awe at the signs that she could understand, and she never saw a Japanese character in her life, except in anime,but that was before she could understand them. She used some of the money from Fixit and enrolled herself in school as an exchange student. She had been here for about a week, and already had a daily schedule she had to follow.
"Hey Daniella-sama. Wait up." A high voice cried out from behind her. Daniella was clad in a white button up shirt with a red tie, a small blue under shirt, and a frilly red skirt. She had white sock s that reached to her knees and black flats.
"Oh, hey Tomoko-san." Tomoko had short, brown hair that stopped at her neck, and bright green eyes. Two green and white hairpins kept her hair from covering her eyes. She was in the same outfit as Daniella."Please stop calling me sama. It's embarrassing." Daniella had her hand on one of her cheeks, which were glowing pink.
"But it's true, Daniella-sama." Daniella blushed red and Tomoko laughed.
"I call you san, can't you show some respect and let me not die of embarrassment." Daniella argued.
"Nope. Calling you sama is fun, and someone needs to call you sama, so that's me." Tomoko pointed to her chest proudly.
"You're a horrible friend Tomoko-san." Daniella pouted. A gust of wind blew and any boy behind them fainted with blood streaming from their noses.
"I love you too Daniella-sama. And they agree with me." Tomoko pointed her thumb to the unconscious boys behind them. Daniella sighed as she faceplamed. She lowered her hand.
"Why can't I get normal friends?"
"Because normal is allergic to you." Tomoko said. Daniella sighed, but nodded. Tomoko grabbed her hand."Come on Ritoru! Grandpa wants to see you!" Daniella only heard the nickname.
"TOMOKO!" She screamed as she blushed.
"Yes! Just like that! Strike with everything for have!" Grandpa commanded. Daniella ran forward and jumped a foot into the air. She did a somersault and cut the straw dummy in half. She stared at the two parts of the dummy with excitement when she landed.
"Yes! Haha!" She said. Daniella turned to her mentor."Thanks for teaching me sword skills Gramps."
"Don't mention it sweetheart. You have a lot of talent." Grandpa said.
"That's what my old mentor said, but she said it a little louder than that." Daniella shivered as she remembered her training with Pandora.
"Sorry, but these old lungs can't possibly make anymore noise than a microphone." Grandpa said. Daniela smiled at him.
"She must've been fun to be around." Tomoko came outside in a purple kimono with light blue flower designs. Daniella's smile fell.
"If you wanted to go deaf." Daniella said. She readied herself when Tomoko put another straw dummy up. Tomoki opened the door, and Tomoko's attention went straight to him.
"Tomoki-kun!" She said as Daniella began her next round against the dummy. Tomoko wrapped her arms around Tomoki's neck hard, and he struggled to breathe. Grandpa laughed at the display.
"Tomoko. Stop strangling your brother." He commanded. Tomoko let go of her brother. Tomoki hit the floor with a hand to his throat. He took in air like water in a desert.
"Stop being so dramatic. It's just a hug." Daniela said, walking to the three of them. A sword was lying on her shoulder.
"Do you want one?" Tomoki asked. Daniella's face showed fear for just a second, but he saw it. Tomoko however was beaming and ready to tackle her friend.
"No thanks. I actually have something to live for instead of the pervert down here."
"Hey!" Tomoki shouted as he stood up, and looked at Daniella's chest. After a second, he was sporting a red hand mark on his face and Tomoko and Daniella were shouting at him. Grandpa just watched, laughing the whole time the two ladies tortured the young pervert.
The next day, everyone around Mihura academy was being very secretive. Everyone was rushing around and they seemed to be avoiding Daniella.
"Tomoko-san, what's going on?" Daniella asked as everyone rushed around.
"I told you. Big assembly today." Tomoko said a she looked behind Daniella. She looked panicked and started to silently yell at someone, but when Daniella turned to her, her face quickly change to one of a smile. Tomoko pulled out a blindfold from who knows where.
"Hey put this on." She pushed the blindfold into Daniella's face.
"Why would I do that?"
"I'll start calling you sama again." Daniella snatched the blindfold from her friend and put it on. Tomoko led her through the school.
"Okay, take it off." After five minutes of mindless walking, Daniella took off the blindfold and everyone in the school was in the gym.
"Surprise!" They all shouted. Daniella looked up at the sign.'Good Luck on your travels. We'll miss you. Daniella smiled and Tomoko came into her vision.
"Surprise. I thought you might to go out with a bang." A flare came from her pocket and Tomoko fired it into the air. It exploded into a firework.
"But why?"
"I saw your calendar. You were planning to leave today weren't you?" Tomoko said.
"Yeah but-" Daniella stuttered, seeing the exotic decorations.
"And everyone here will miss you. You made a lot of friends here." Tomoko said, smiling.
"What about the principal? He's going to flip when he sees all of this."
"Actually, we have a new principal. Thanks to you, we managed to the police to see what he was hiding in janitor's closet. They arrested him on the spot. The assistant principal got promoted. In fact, she's going to change the school completely. With a new name and everything. Fumizuki Academy. There even having our best students build a new school system. I would like you to see it, but you're going to be leaving today, unless you're going to change your mind?" Tomoko suggested, looking hopeful.
"You're going to miss me that much?" Daniella said, a knowing smirk on her face.
"Not just me, everyone at Mihara- or Fumizuki- Academy. If you ever want to come over, give us a call." Tomoko handed Daniella a gift. She opened it and a high tech looking phone came from it.
"We're not called 'Japan's Greatest Engineering School' for nothing." Tomoko said, her pride for her school showing.
"Thanks. I'll try and visit whenever I can."
"That's not from me. That's from Tomoki. He sold everything that he could, and I sold all of his 'special' magazines." Tomoko grinned at the memory of his struggling.
"That explains why he had that lump. He's a pervert, but you're doing good with helping him." Tomoko shoved another box into her hand.
"This is from me." Daniella opened it and received a two hairclips with angel wings.
"Ritoru." Tomoko said. Daniella blushed as she looked at her back. Her wings were crushed against the school uniform, but didn't show. She sighed, but put the hairclips in her hair. It kept the hair out of her left eye.
"This is from Grandpa." Tomoko pulled out a sword from somewhere that Daniella didn't want know.
"Grandpa collects weird things." Daniella commented.
"This was from the attic. You're the best sword fighter he's seen so far, so he would like you to have this." Tomoko shoved the sword into Daniella's hand.
"Now, just put it somewhere you can get it later." Tomoko said. Daniella's bracelet glowed white and the sword exploded into balls of light. Both girls stared at the bracelet.
"Uh, bring it back?" The bracelet glowed and the sword reappeared on Daniella's back. Tomoko smiled. "Cool bracelet." She commented.
"Thanks." Daniella said, staring at her halo in disguise.
"Yeah, but right now, let's party." Tomoko grabbed her hand and yanked her over to the people playing games. Daniella spent two hours playing and having fun with her classmates. When she was done, she was about to take off the school uniform, but Tomoko stopped her.
"Keep it, as a memory of your time here." Daniella nodded and waved everyone goodbye, some people were looking with pride and acceptance. Others were crying their eyes out.
"If you're ever in the US, look up Daniella Angel!" Daniella said as she left. She walked a little but heard a "Smile!" She turned around and a flash blinded her, but she knew who that flash belonged to. She sighed, and heard Tomoko yelling at her brother. She was going to miss Tomoki's pervented antics. It was fun to see him with a red hand print on his cheek everyday, and blood coming from his nose.
"Goodbye, Angel!" Tomoko shouted. Daniella blushed and waved back, hating her best friend as she left.
Now entering France, Mistress. 'Thanks PAI. France? I wonder how good French food is. Oh, I've always wanted to see the Eiffel Tower.' Daniella thought as she entered the country. She got off of the cargo train she hopped on. She walked and took in the sights. She somehow managed to get close to Paris. She could see the Eiffel Tower from where she was on the ground. She grabbed a map from a stand and looked down at it. 'Where is the next hotel?' She walked around, looking for the hotel. When she was near it (crossing the street), she looked up and saw a red and yellow blur slam into her. Her map was torn, and the person she collided with didn't speak. They tumbled for a minute and when they were finished, Daniella was somewhere she didn't recognize. She got off of her assaulter and looked around. She became mad that she was lost and her map was gone. She turned to the person who ran into her. He had on a yellow suit with a lightning insignia, and red goggles. His hair was a ginger color, and his boots were red. He was a teenager like her.
"Who are you and why did you run into me?" She questioned. The boy groaned as he stood up.
"Sorry I wasn't looking wh-ere-you look like an angel. Mind if I call you that? Angel?" The boy asked.
"I don't care. Who are you?" Daniella got off of the ground. When she stood at full height, she noticed that he was taller than her.
"Kid Flash, the world's fastest kid around." Kid Flash said
"You mean like the Flash?"
"Na, he's my uncle."
"I'm Daniella Angel, the world's recent traveler."
"So I can call you Angel?" Kid asked.
"As long as I can call you KF or Kid."
"Kid is fine, and deal, Angel."
"Now that formalities and nicknames are out of the way, I have to find the hotel I was about to check into." Daniella walked off, but Kid ran after her.
"If you need a place to live, you can crash at my place. I'm going to be leaving soon anyway." He said. Daniella considered the idea, and said yes. This led to Kid trying to carry her, and that ended with him having to dodge a few punches that nearly leveled the building behind him.
"Wow, you're strong for a girl so small." Daniella then tried to punch him again, but he used his speed to avoid everything. He ran to the other side of the street.
"Told ya. Fastest kid in the world." He said from the other side. He looked at Daniella. He was shocked when he saw lightning coming from her feet. She ran to him and he couldn't dodge the punch that came afterward.
"I'm so sorry for punching you." Daniella apologized as she held an ice pack to Kid's head. They were at his suite in a hotel, which happened to be the one Daniella was looking for. Kid Flash had a black eye and his chest was wrapped up.
"Hey it's no problem. I've had worse." Daniella raised an eyebrow at him. He just smiled at her and she sighed, but smiled back. Daniella then gained a solemn look and stood up and walked out of the room. Kid followed her to the roof of the building. She was staring at the sun, sitting with her knees to her chest. They were like that for a few minutes, then Daniella's eyes started watering.
"What's wrong? Family problems or something?" Daniella jumped a bit and turned her head back. Kid saw the tears in her eyes and ran to her. She cried against him for a little while. Kid just patted her back and said nothing. When she stopped, they just sat there."What's a pretty face like you doing bawling her eyes out?"
"What you said earlier, about my family problems, well that's true."
"What happened? Abusive father? Isolated in the family? Tried to kill and/or experiment on you and find out how your powers work?" Daniella stared at Kid at the last question.
"Sibling fight." Daniella said simply. Kid nodded and she went on."My brother, he was mad at me for no reason and we almost fought with our fists."Kid raised an eyebrow, but didn't comment."It got so bad that he just screamed and told me that he didn't want a sister, and I just couldn't take it. So I packed up and left, but the memory is still fresh. It hurts so much." Daniella's eyes started watering and Kid just sighed and wiped her face.
"If I have the time, I'll knock some sense into him for hurting an angel like you." Daniella giggled a little.
"You're brave enough to smack some sense into the Batman's boy wonder?" Kid Flash's eyes widened as he stood up.
"You're Robin's sister?! The Robin's sister?!" Kid Flash said as his cool demeanor broke, replaced by the fanboy inside. Daniella giggled and stood up.
"Twin sister. Two minutes younger, or rather, formally twin sister." Her depressed tone returned and she sat back down in her earlier position. Kid Flash returned to his state of mind.
"Batman's prestige or not, I'll knock some sense into him next time I see him." Kid said, mashing his fist into his hand.
"You'd do that for me?" Daniella's heart skipped a beat as her cheeks turned pink.
"He caused an angel to cry, so I'll do it, then run away from Batman if I can, and if I survive, I'll tell you what it was like." Daniella laughed at his humor.
"Are you always this flirty?" She asked.
"Is it working on ya?" He asked back. Daniella lowered her head and turned back to him with half-lidded eyes.
"Maybe." Kid lost his demeanor again, but recovered quickly.
"I'll take that as a yes." Daniella punched him lightly on his shoulder. He winced and she got from her position and helped Kid with the pain. After a minute, Daniella stood up again.
"Thanks for the comfort. It's been a really long while since anyone has just let me cry on their shoulder."
"You're a lady, and all ladies need to be treated with care, and respect."
"If my friend heard that, she would love you, while at the same time trying to kill you."
"Does that mean she's available?"
"You're not her type." Daniella giggled, but then noticed something. There was no door and hatch to get to the roof."How did you get up here?"
"I can vibrate my molecules to pass through solid objects." His form shook and became distorted as his feet fell through the floor. He stepped out of it."How did you?"
"Same way as you, but instead I can make my molecules untouchable." Daniella glowed a light blue and she stuck her hand through Kid's stomach. She withdrew her hand as Kid stared at his stomach.
"Cool." He looked at her bracelet. Daniella turned them intangible and they sunk into the hotel room. Daniella left and came back in her pajamas. She pulled a sleeping bag from her bag and laid it on the floor.
"Hey, are you going to sleep?"
"Yeah, I take my rest whenever I can." Daniella said as she got her sleeping bag ready.
"But the night's still young, and I'm not tired." Kid whined.
"I am tired. So let me sleep." Lightning jumped from her figure and struck the switch, causing the light to go out. Kid Flash sighed and fell asleep on his bed. He tried to get Daniella to sleep in it with him on the floor, but she insisted that she sleep on the floor. He eventually dropped the losing argument.
"Night." He said.
"Night." She said. Her back shuddered and Kid's eyes widened. Her back moved, and a feather fell out of her shirt. He set the thought to the back of his mind as he drifted off into sleep.
The next day, Daniella and Kid spent the day learning about each other and Daniella got a job as a waitress at a local restaurant. Kid couldn't stop laughing at the maid's outfit she had to where as her uniform for her first day. After her first day, she kept the outfit and had been required to where a standard waitress's outfit. It was a red blouse with a apron, and fishing net leggings. She had her black flats on.
"Shut up." She said to Kid Flash, who was laughing after they left her job. She had tripped and split lemonade and tea on the food critic. Her boss yelled at her in French for two hours before the critic returned. She apologized to him and used her money to pay for his food. He left with a good review, but Kid was stuck on how she tripped. She said that her shoes had gotten tied up and she tripped. She forgot to tie her shoes, and forgot how to tie them.
"It's not that funny."
"It totally is. How do you forget how to tie your shoes?"
"When you wear boots without laces or shoes that don't use laces, shoestrings become tedious." Kid laughed even harder if it was possible. Daniela was still in the waitress outfit. Daniella huffed and sped up her pace. Kid stopped laughing and followed her.
"Sorry, sorry. I guess it's not funny to see someone like you struggle with small things." Daniella pouted. That's how the walk home was. After they arrived, Daniella immediately changed out of her work attire and made dinner. Afterward they turned in early. It was late at night when Kid was woken up. He opened his eyes and Daniella's crystal blue eyes were the first thing he saw.
"Do you wanna go for a flight?" She asked Kid. He shook his head to clear the cobwebs.
"Do you have a jet?" He asked back.
"Something close." Daniella said as she slid her jacket from her shoulders. Kid blushed and closed his eyes.
"This is better than running the across the globe, twice!" Kid said as he spread his arms like he was flying by himself. Daniella was carrying him, enjoying the flight. The sun had set a while ago, leaving the full moon and the stars for them to see.
"Told you this was amazing. The sight as the city speeds past below you is breath-taking." Daniella said. Kid looked down and saw that she spoke the truth. The lights passing below them at such high speeds was something that could only be described as a dream.
"Wow. When I called you an angel, I didn't think you would actually be one. I wish you were my sister." Kid said as they slowed down and descended.
"I might take you up on that offer." Daniella said as they came to a stop on the Eiffel Tower. Daniella leaned over the railing. Kid hung back and watched her.'She's nice, and she can match my speed. That calls for some sort of celebration.' He thought. He walked to the railing and placed an hand on hers. She looked up and smiled. They looked at the city of Paris together.
"You know, you should try and forgive Robin." He said, his voice a knife in Daniella's thought's. She blushed as she remembered what she thought and registered his sentence.
"Why should I? He doesn't want me anymore." Daniella said.
"I know Robin. He would never say that if he was in the right state of mind. He had this big fight with the Bats and it ended up in him leaving, but still respecting him as his father. You're his sister. The last family he has. He'd never tell you to just jump out of his life, he loves you too much for that." Kid said. Daniella stopped what was coming from her throat and she thought about what he said.
After a minute, Daniella spoke in a small voice."Hey Kid?" Kid Flash turned around and that's when Daniella threw her lips over his. Kid was shocked by the gesture and didn't respond before she pulled back. She put her head in his chest."Thank you, for giving me a place to live. For letting me cry on your shoulder. For letting me take you on a flight. For helping me forgive my brother. For letting me kiss you." She blushed and mumbled the last part, but he heard it.
"That last one wasn't something I let you do, but I liked it." Kid said as he wrapped his hands around her waist."Promise me something."
"What?" Daniella lifted her head from his chest.
"After I punch Robin for being a dick, go to him and make up like siblings are supposed to." Kid looked down at her and she smiled. Daniella nodded, and giggled at the unintentional pun.
"Okay."
The next morning, Daniella woke up to see that Kid was gone. A note was on his bed.
Had to leave. Traveling the world ya know. If you want to meet me again, I'll be in Rome for a few weeks. Sorry for leaving, but I did get you something before I left. Hope you like it, Daniella Angel. I'll never forget you, even if you forget me.
-Kid Flash XOXO
Daniella stared at the note with longing. She felt like her heart had dropped, but smiled at the semi-poetic part at the end. She opened the box and saw white goggles and a white orchid. How he found one is something that she didn't question as she put it in her hair. She sighed as she put the goggles around her neck and put the note in her pocket. She paid the manager of the hotel and left. She went to her job and quit, saying she was leaving. That night, she saw a yellow blur on the ground as she was flying over Rome. She waved to Kid and he waved back. She flew down and he stopped running.
"Hey. You're coming with me to see the world?" Kid asked.
"Actually, no. I'm going to check on someone and something before I go make up with Robin. I just wanted to see you before you left." Daniella put her head down as she blushed. Kid laughed and walked up to her.
"I never got to repay you." He said. Daniella looked up.
"Repay me for what?" Kid kissed her instead of answering. This time, she didn't respond and Kid put something in her hand as he broke the contact.
"Use this if you need some company. I'll be there faster than you can think." He said. He dashed off, leaving Daniella, her cheeks a bright red. She looked at the object in her hand. It looked like his logo on his shirt, but the lightning bolt was sticking up. A pager of some sort. PAI explained. Daniella looked at where Kid had gone and took to the skies. Daniella flapped her wings and she flew back to the States. Kid watched her go from some ways away. 'Time to go pay the boy wonder a visit.'
A knock sounded on Vlad's door. He was in his office, rethinking his life. He ignored the door. The knock sounded again, louder. He still ignored it.
"Wow, you have been through a lot since I last saw you." Daniella said as she reappeared in front of him. Vlad looked taken aback and tried to use his ghost powers, but realized again that he didn't have them. He sat back down. Daniella dropped to the floor.
"Must I assume you're here to flaunt the fact that you have your powers and I don't?"
"I don't rub salt into a wound, I heal it. I'm staying here for a while and seeing how you've been since I destroyed your ghost." Daniella said with her arms crossed. Her wings shrunk and she put on her jacket. That's when Vlad noticed her attire.
"Must you were such small clothing?" He asked.
"I didn't have anything else. I traveled the world, and a few pieces of my old outfit are gone, burned, or drowning in the Atlantic. I have this though." Vlad raise and eyebrow as Daniella pulled out her French Maid's outfit. Vlad had to keep his laughed in his throat and turned away from her."I also have this." He turned and Daniella had on her black sundress."I hate the memories it has, but I like the style." She said.
"That will have to suffice until I get you more casual clothes. For now, you know where you room is." Vlad waved her off and she left. She greeted the staff and they greeted her in their own ways. Some smiled and bowed with her, some groaned shook her hand, muttering about having to clean up the debris. She entered her old room and threw herself onto the bed. She was embraced by sleep as soon she her head hit the pillow.
The next day, Daniella woke up to her disheveled hair. She put on the hairclips she got from Tomoko and saw the outfit Vlad had put on her bed. It was almost like her school uniform, but with pants instead of a skirt. She came of her room with the outfit, with her own add-on, and walked to Vlad's table. The staff had to stare at her as she made her way to Vlad. They also had to duck under Daniella's wings. Vlad was surprised when Daniella walked into the dining hall with almost as much grace as him, dressed in her new outfit, with her wings protruding from her back.
"Do you ever get tired of those things? They must be heavy." Vlad said.
"FYI, there as light as a feather, but if I want to hide them to pass through doors, I do this." Vlad stared as Daniella's wings shrunk. She turned around and he saw the small wings on her back, half covered by the torn back. She spun around and sat down.
"I still want to know why you have thought it be wise to come here, back to the place of bad memories for you." Vlad said.
"I told you. I wanted to see how you've been since I got rid of your powers, and I might have-might have..." Daniella stuttered. She grumbled the last part and Vlad couldn't stop the smile that appeared.
"Might have what, girl?" Vlad egged on.
"Might have... missed you." She said very fast. Vlad still caught it and smiled.
"Even after everything I've done to you and your family, you missed me?" Daniella flinched.
"Don't look to much into it. I just see you as an uncle I can come to whenever I don't have anywhere to go."
"What about your brother?" Vlad said as he lifted up his cup. The wall behind Daniella exploded. Vlad spewed his tea and looked for the attacker. Daniella's hair cast a shadow over her face. Her mouth was a thin line. A black aura appeared around her.
"Don't talk about him." She said. Vlad nodded, scared of this thing in front of him. Daniella calmed down, and the black cloud around her disappeared. The wall fixed itself as if it was never destroyed. What happened between the that caused her to lose control of her powers at the mention of his name? Vlad thought to himself.
"I apologize for the scare, but I don't have a brother at the moment. But I'm going to make things right after this trip." Daniella thought about what Kid said, then about him. She blushed as she realized she was daydreaming. Vlad didn't notice this, and put his focus on the reformed wall.
"How did you do that?" He asked. Daniella looked behind her and saw the wall.
"Oh that? You don't see the wings on my back, or the ring above my head?"
"The wings on your back, yes. The ring, no." Daniella put her hand up and grabbed the air. She jumped as she realized that her halo was gone. She was close to freaking out when she remembered where it was. The bracelet glowed white and her halo appeared as her bracelet disappeared.
"These things aren't just for show." Daniella said as she waved her hand in a circular motion. A ball of light appeared in her hand. The light dimmed to show a white orchid. Vlad stared in awe at Daniella's abilities. The flower vanished."But the new powers come with a price." Daniella glowed green as she scrunched up her face. She held her hands in front of her as a small green ball flickered into existence, then out of existence. She started sweating as her energy and strength diminished. The ball stopped growing, being no bigger than a quarter. She closed her hands and her glow vanished. She panted and her vision spun. Vlad walked to her an held her up. When she was stable enough to walk without assistance, Vlad let her go.
"My ghost powers have been fading, at least the ones that require ectoplasmic energy directly." Daniella said. Vlad nodded. They went their separate ways. Daniella spent a week watching him. So far, he hadn't changed. He handled his businesses like yesterday's problem. His lab was still there, collecting dust, and she had been a lot more civil toward him, seeing him as an uncle and not an enemy. Vlad wouldn't admit this, but he enjoyed her company. She still beat him in chess, which is something that he will never figure out. One day, his watched beeped and he remembered his meeting. Daniella stood straight.
"I'm afraid that I must go out on business. Help yourself to whatever you want." Vlad turned to leave, but a hand on his shoulder stopped him.
"I'm sorry, but I told you that I am going to watch you to see how you're fairing without your powers, so I'm coming with you."
"But you don't know a thing about business."
"I know Bruce Wayne, and something tells me that he will be there. If I go in as your daughter, it'll put you in his 'likeable people' list." Vlad sighed, and Daniella knew she won the argument.
"Hi! It's been awhile since I've seen you Mr. Wayne!" Daniella said as she held her hand out to her brother's adoptive father. The window rattled when she thought about Dick. She calmed herself and told herself that she was trying to be nice. Then she thought about who helped her with her sibling problem. Great, she was daydreaming again. She was dressed in her black dress with a white orchid in her hair. Bruce shook the out stretched hand. Vlad looked surprised about this. When Daniella smiled at him, he could've sworn that the smile said that she planned this.
"Oh, I didn't tell you? Bruce is my brother's adoptive father." Bruce let go of Daniella's hand, not missing this almost venom like way she spoke of Dick. A teen stepped from behind him.
"This is my second adoptive son, Jason Todd." The two teens waved at each other and walked off, talking.
"I didn't know you adopted Vlad." Bruce said as they made their way to the meeting.
"I started with her. I wanted a child so badly, but I couldn't because of all the women that were chasing me. The curse of being rich." Bruce bellowed as he laughed,
"Too true."
"Why do I have the feeling that you planned this whole day?" Vlad asked Daniella, who was dressed in her formal outfit. She had her legs and arms crossed, giving her a formal, and intimidating, look.
"Because I did." She said."I especially like that breath of fresh air I recommended."
"You grabbed me by the shoulder and flew my to the clouds." Vlad said.
"Still a breath of fresh air in my book." Vlad gained a tick mark on his head.
"You need to take off that attire. It's starting to get to you."
"If you insist." Daniella worked on getting her shoes off, and Vlad screamed.
"HAVE YOU LOST YOU MIND?!" Daniella laughed at him. Another tick mark appeared.
"No, but thanks for taking me to Amity Park."
"You threatened me to take you, or you'd drop me and shoot me if I didn't comply."
"And you still agreed, so I had to thank you."
"I swear. I wonder if you common sense went on an adventure too." She laughed even harder. After five minutes, her fatigue caught up to her and she fell asleep. Vlad stared at her sleeping from. There was a small blush on her cheeks and she was mumbling something. He caught the word 'kid', but didn't know what that meant. He sighed and covered her in a blanket. He looked at her and noticed a book sticking out of her bag. He reached over and grabbed it. 'Angels' the cover read. He opened the book and began reading.
"Thanks again for your help." Daniella said to Vlad, who was in his estate in town. She walked away with two things. A new identity, and a new outfit that she would be trying on again. Vlad waved back, knowing about her and her abilities, including the ones she had yet to discover for herself.
"Students, settle down. We have a new pupil joining us today. Give her the Casper High greeting." Everyone nodded and prepared to judge the new student. "You can come in now." A black haired girl walked through the door. She had on a button up shirt with white accents. A white undershirt was seen underneath, along with a red tie. She wore a purple skirt. She had on white leggings and black flats. Her hair was black with white tips and was in a ponytail. It was kept away from her left eye by a hairclip with white, feathery wings. A white flower was in her head. Her purple eyes were alluring.
"Hi. My name is Ritoru Enjeru. Please call me Ritoru." She said as she waved to the class.
"Do you have anything else to say to the class, Miss Enjeru?"
"No." She walked and sat down in an empty seat."Hi." Was all she said before she took out her notebook and started copying what was on the board. Sam gave her a suspicious look. Ritoru looked familiar.
"Manson, eyes forward!" Mr. Lancer chastised.
"Sorry!"
During lunch, Daniella was watching everyone in her tree. Paulina and her cheerleaders were practicing for the next game. Dash and his buddies were picking on Mickey, and she threw a stone at him. Sam and Tucker were no where to be found. She stood up and jumped from her tree. She reappeared in front of the cafeteria. She looked in and saw Sam, Tucker, Star, and Valerie laughing. She smiled and walked in.
"Hi! Can I sit here?" Ritoru said as she walked up. Sam nodded and scooted over.
"Where is your lunch?" Tucker asked.
"Oh. I heard about how the food comes to life here." Everyone shot Sam a glare, and she put her hands up in defense."And I forgot my lunch at home." Tucker practically shoved his lunch into her lap."No thanks. I'm not hungry." She waved her hands at him.
"Hey." Paulina walked up to them in her cheerleader outfit."Why don't you come hang with us instead of these bottom feeders?" Ritoru's hair covered her face as she smiled and stood up. Sam sighed and Valerie glared at her. Tucker almost cried at the thought of losing a potential girlfriend, but what Ritoru said shocked everyone to the core.
"No way in hell you bitchy little slut." Everyone paled and their jaws hit the floor. Ritoru kept her smile and sat down.
"You do realize-"
"What I said and who I said it to? Yes." Ritoru took a bite of Tucker's offered lunch.
"Y-y-y-you c-c-can't-t t-t-talk t-to m-me like that-t-t." Paulina said. The black and white haired girl sighed and stood up. She opened her eyes so that they were half-lidded. Her arms were crossed and she leaned against the table.
"Actually, I can. The school I came from focused solely on education and nothing else. I don't care about whatever social ladder there is around here, but I do know that I will not be a part of it. I can talk to whoever I want however I want to talk to them, and no one is going to tell me otherwise." Paulina backed away from the threatening girl, then gasped as her pupils became red and her iris became black."You can go now." Paulina wasted no time running out of the cafeteria as fast as she could. Ritoru sat back down, ignoring the stares she was getting.
Later that day, a blue mist came from her mouth. She covered her mouth to hide it.'A ghost? I haven't sensed one since Skulker, and I could only sense him when he was right on top of me.'
"Hey, I have to go. See you tomorrow." Ritoru walked away from the group. Sam narrowed her eyes and Tucker noticed.
"Oh no, please don't tell me." Sam followed her, causing the other three to follow her. Ritoru ran into an alleyway, and took of her shirt. Black wings came from her back and a ring appeared above her head. Her eyes faded to blue and the white ends of her hair faded to black. She flapped her wings and was sent flying. Everyone stared in shock. There was only one person who had wings as far as they knew.
Daniella flew up to the sky and saw something moving. She held out her hand.
"Stop right there a-Ember?" The light stopped and revealed the punk rock ghost.
"Daniella?" She asked. Kitty came from behind her.
"Hey, girl. What's going on down there?" Daniella turned her head and saw her human friends looking at her.
"Shit." She said.
Daniella stared down into her lap as everyone was screaming to or about her. She told them of why she wasn't with her brother in Jump, and why she had change her identity. She didn't tell them of her adventures. Jack and Maddie were arguing about Robin. Sam and Tucker were arguing about Daniella. Star and Valerie were about to fight Ember and Kitty to get to Daniella. After five minutes of chaos, Daniella got fed up with it. She screamed and everyone covered their ears. The windows shattered and so did Maddie's goggles. When she stopped, everyone stared at her.
"I'm sorry for lying to you again, and not telling you that I came, but I really didn't want the attention that the town wanted to give me." Jack actually had tears coming from his eyes.
"Sorry, sweetie. It's just that we haven't seen you in so long, I just couldn't help myself, but I have to ask, why the weird name?" Jack said. He rubbed his eyes.
"Oh, Ritoru Enjeru is Japanese. It means 'Little Angel'." Ember and Kitty hit he ground, along with Star and Valerie.
"I can't believe I didn't realize that sooner." Valerie said.
"You and me both." Ember said.
"That doesn't matter anymore. I'm here, so at least you guys can be happy to see me again. Wow that sounded arrogant." Daniella said. Everyone blinked, and then rushed her. She was tackled and her halo pulsed and, this time, the explosion almost totaled FentonWorks. Everyone groaned as they were in pain."Honestly, you should know what happens whenever you try to tackle me." Daniella said. Jack rolled over and held his head.
"It's a habit, but when I get my hands on that Robin guy..."
"Don't hurt him. I'm forgiving him for saying those things. Someone made me realize that he wasn't thinking straight." Daniella blushed as she realized she was daydreaming, again. Kitty's eye widened.
"Oh my god. You have a crush!" She screamed. Daniella snapped out of her reverie.
"No I don't!" She screamed. Everyone started talking and shouting.
"Is he dreamy?" Kitty asked.
"Is he a rockstar?" Ember asked, pulling her guitar out.
"Is he a goth?" Sam crossed her arms.
"Does he like tech and Doomed?" Tucker pulled out his PDA
"Does he like hunting ghosts?" Jack and Maddie brandished their guns.
"Is he a scholar?" Jazz closed her book that was in her hand.
"Is he a football player?" Star asked, looking hopeful.
"Can he fight?" Valerie brandished her fist.
"I DON'T HAVE A CRUSH ON ANYBODY!" Daniella screamed, her face red. Kitty giggled.
"She's in denial." Daniella's red became a brighter red, but the ground shook as green vines came out of the ground. 'Not again!' Daniella thought as she heard a screech. She ran along the vines as they started to slow down. Everyone came out of the house and followed her. She saw the mind vine in the park. People were already planting seeds and they were growing into vicious plants. 'Shit. He's working fast this time.' She got knocked off of the vine she was on and was grabbed. She whimpered as her wings were crushed. She was brought face to face with Undergrowth.
"An angel? Impossible! Your kind should be extinct."
"Well I'm still here." Daniella retorted.
"No matter, I will finish you off myself." Undergrowth threw her into a wall. Ember and Kitty caught her before she slammed into it.
"I'm fine." She said. Ember and Kitty nodded.
"You defeated this guy already, just freeze him and do it again." Tucker said.
"I can't Dana has my ice, and I don't know where she is." Daniella flew out of the way of a vine.
"I'll rip those wings of yours off!" Undergrowth sent more vines, ignoring everyone but the angel in front of him. Daniella flew around, dodging the vines. One came to her head and she ducked, but the flower in her hair fell off. She went wide eyed and grabbed it, crunching it in her hands. The flower glowed white as it transformed in Daniella's hand. The light around it grew and morphed. When it was done, Daniella held a sword in her hand, the sword Dana used against Agent X. Her outfit was different. She had on a white chestplate that clung to her breast. Her shoulder had small pads that stuck out and resembled feathers. She had on a white skirt with black accents. Her white gloves went to her elbows and had black accents too. She had on boots that covered her legs. They didn't have soles, but still felt comfortable. Her hair separated as her body charged with lightning. Daniella opened her purple eyes and disappeared in a flash of purple light. Undergrowth screamed as his arm came off. Daniela reappeared, her sword still sparking. Undergrowth tried to regrow his arm, but it was cut off again before it formed. Daniella stood from her crouched position and pointed her sword at Undergrowth. He screeched, and Daniella struck again, cutting through his chest. She ran quickly and cut through him again. She went up to him on the ground and her sword exploded into a rapier and the extra pieces. The pieces became sharp instead of floating around the rapier, and embedded themselves into Undergrowth's chest. She started thrusting her rapier forward at blinding speeds. It thrust made it's mark as Undergrowth form shrunk. She had a determined expression and the tip of her sword glowed purple. Her strikes became faster until the tip of the sword couldn't be seen. She thrust her sword forward once more and left it inside of Undergrowth. She used it as a springboard and jumped into the sky. Her halo appeared in front of her hand and she fired a white blast from above. Undergrowth's form was enveloped in the light and was torn apart. When Daniella hit the street again, her sword was in her hand, complete. There was a hole in the street where Undergrowth use to stand. Daniella hoped into the hole. A small green plant grew from the center.
"I am regenerating!" Undergrowth said. He looked behind him and saw Daniella. She lifted her sword and he prepared to be destroyed, but instead, the pull of the thermos trapped him inside of the soup can. Daniella smiled as she capped it. Her eyes went blank and her armor turned into white balls of light. She fell to the ground, unconscious. The flower reappeared in her hair. Everyone from FentonWorks slid down the hole and to Daniella. Ember picked her up and checked her pulse.
"She's okay, just tired." She diagnosed. Everyone sighed a breath of relief.
"I have a question: What was that?" Tucker asked. Everyone shrugged, not knowing the answer.
Daniella woke up in her room. She sat up and realized that she was on her old bed. She smiled and stood up. She walked to the door, but stopped before opening it. She looked at the knob, and charged her body with electricity. She opened the door and jumped back. She expected everyone to tumble forward, but instead her doorway was empty. She powered herself down and stuck her head out of the door. She looked both ways before stepping through the door. She walked down the stairs and saw everyone in the living room.
"Huh? I guess you guys finally stopped trying to tackle me." Everyone turned to her.
"Daniella, you're okay." Kitty said.
"I'm okay, just tired." She said. Everyone took that as her answer. Daniella smiled at them.
"Now care to explain what that light show was?" Sam said.
"I would, if I knew what it was." Daniella said. Everyone groaned. Maddie suddenly clapped her hands together.
"I have an idea. How about you use your powers in the basement. Me and Jack rebuffed it and now you could use your ghostly wail." Daniella didn't even get the chance to speak before Ember grabbed her wrist and dragged her into the basement. Everyone followed, eager to see the display.
Once Daniella was in the basement, Ember pushed her to the ground and Maddie locked the door, and ghost-proofed it. Daniella got up from the ground, and looked around.
"Can't I have a say in this?" She asked.
"Nope!" Kitty said.
"Let's begin. Don't hold anything back." Maddie said. Daniella looked forward at the empty walls as a humming could be heard.'Don't hold anything back. That I can do.' She thought to herself.
"You want a show?" Daniella said. Targets appeared in front her as lightning jumped from her skin. Her memories about why she was travelling came to her mind, and the number of sparks grew, almost covering her form. Her hair strands separated, and her blue eyes glowed purple."I'll give you one. Hardest setting you have." Guns appeared from the walls, and Daniella grinned. She held her hand out and let the sparks fly.
