Hello everyone! Welcome to the newest chapter of Hero in Need! I've pumped this chapter out as fast as I could since school has been keeping me too busy to think. I hope you all like it!

Oh! I also noticed that I've been forgetting my disclaimers! My mistake!

Despite my hopes and dreams I OWN NOTHING! (Curls up in corner sobbing)

At Titans Tower

Starfire shifted in uncomfortable silence as Danny removed the ice from Cyborg before settling down on the couch.

The silence lasted a few more minutes, before Starfire spoke.

"Phantom?" She asked.

"Yes?" Danny asked, secretely relieved to have the silence broken.

"You have proved that you are not our foe, but are you a friend?" Starfire asked cautiously, not wanting to upset the immensely powerful being sitting a mere few feet away.

"Huh?" Danny said as Danny scratched the back of his head. "Well, i suppose I'm neither friend nor foe. I haven't really known you long enough to be a friend, but I've shown that I'm not gonna hurt any of you. For now I guess I'm just an acquaintance."

"I see. You seem nice though, would you like to become my friend?" Starfire said.

"Sure. I could always use a friend." Danny responded as a small smile formed on his face

"Is Phantom your real name, where do you come from, what's your favorite color?" Starfire asked without taking a breath.

"Phantom is part of my name, but you can call me Danny, I'm from Amity Park, and my favorite color is light blue." Danny said.

"Glorious! Perhaps the others can be your friends too!" Starfire said with glee.

"Maybe," Danny said. "But more than anything I want your help clearing my name."

"Ughh, what happened?" came a voice from the floor.

"Oh! Friend Cyborg! You are awake." Starfire said cheerily as Cyborg began to get to his feet.

"Yeah, what happened?" Cyborg stated before turning and noticing Danny.

"You!" Cyborg yelled as he changed his arm into a sonic blaster.

"Woah! Easy there big guy! Your systems haven't completely defrosted yet. Trying to use them now could result in some permanent damage." Danny said.

"Friend Cyborg! Stop pointing your weapon at my new friend!" Starfire said worriedly.

"Star, your so called 'friend' is a wanted criminal who wiped the floor with all of us in a few minutes, not to mention killed the family and friends of Danny Fenton." Cyborg asked as he lowered his arm.

"About the whole criminal thing. I want your help, to change that." Danny said.

"Why should we listen to you?" Cyborg asked as he kept his sonic cannon leveled at Danny.

"Yeah, why should we listen to you? You are considered a criminal after all." Came a voice from the hallway.

Danny, Cyborg, and Starfire simultaneously turned to the source of the voice only to see the remaining Titans standing in front of the hallway.

"How about because I didn't kill or permanently injure any of you. Maybe because, I'm about to share with you the story of my life, and my afterlife." Danny said as seriously as he could.

"How do we know you won't lie?" Beastboy asked as he looked at Danny suspiciously.

"You have and empath with you. Checking for truthfulness should be child's play for her." Danny said as he cocked his head towards Raven.

"Why do you want us to back your claim of innocence?" Raven asked in her usual monotone.

"I'm considered a supervillain. Who would the people trust more to say otherwise than a group of trusted heroes who know how real supervillains behave?" Danny asked.

"Fair enough." Robin said. "Now tell us why the GiW is after you."

"I'll get to it," Danny said "but first you should all take a seat. The story isn't short."

"Fine Robin said before walking over to the couch and sitting.

"I want you to take all your beliefs about me and set them aside, for now anyways." Danny said.

"Before you start, I want to make sure you're worth listening to." Robin said with hostility. "Why did you kill the Fentons?"

Danny, who had kept calm until this point, felt the tears begin to roll down his cheeks.

"I would never kill my own family." He said, before taking a deep breath and transforming back into Danny Fenton.

Robin began scrutinizing the boy in front of him.

"Raven you entered his head before, is this the real Danny Fenton?" He asked maintaining his composure.

"Yes. It's genuine, and so are his tears and all the negative emotions running wild in his mind right now." Raven said, feeling sorry for Danny.

Eventually the tears stopped and everyone looked at Danny, unsure of how to handle the situation.

They couldn't get him to respond to anything.

It was as if he had retreated into his mind.

"What do we do?" Cyborg asked, as Starfire shook Danny's shoulder (probably more than she should have been)

"I can go inside his mind and try to wake him up." Raven offered.

"Do it." Robin said.

Raven found herself surrounded once again by the green abyss of the Danny's mind.

"Danny!" She called out in her monotone voice.

Eventually after flying around she found him, looking at the floating doors that he said housed his memories.

"Sorry for leaving you guys out there." Danny said but I haven't decided what parts to tell you guys yet.

"Tell us all of it." Raven said.

"No. All of it is too much to tell everyone." Danny said without emotion. "My life has held a series of burdens, even before I got these powers. They don't need to know them all. And I'm not willing to tell them."

"You have all your memories right here Danny. Show them to me. They'll trust my word on the rest if you don't explain everything." Raven said, trying to be as comforting as she could be towards Danny.

"Fine. Let's start at the beginning then." Danny said as he pushed open the door nearest to him.

-After what seemed like hours they finally stood before the second to last door.

Raven's respect and admiration for Danny's strength of character had swelled over the past hours and she had warmed up to much faster than she had anyone else.

After entering the door that held memories of Danny's evil future self she felt that she had found a kindred spirit in Danny.

'I'm not the only one who had changed their fate.' She thought to herself.

Raven snapped back to reality as she realized that Danny had been calling her name.

"Are you sure you want to enter this door?" Danny asked.

"What's inside of it?" Raven asked.

"All my memories of being captured by the GiW. All the psychological torture, all the abuse, and finally, the beginning of my vivisection.

There's this week's chapter! So far people seem to be going for the DannyXRaven idea, but I still want more opinions. Please review!
