Chapter 9:

Danny:

I blinked at her explanation.

"That's not everything," she continued, "But it's enough. Now, what about you? Why are you a ghost? Is that why you couldn't date me?"

Her mouth formed an 'oh',

"And you're Chris Tempo…aren't you dating Raven from the Teen Titans."

I nodded. She sighed,
"I knew it was too good to be true that you like me," she muttered and louder she said, "So, answer my questions."

I sighed and sat down in the grass. She sat down beside me.

"I am a ghost, because my parents killed me," I said not going into detail, "Jazz really is my sister, by the way…when I died I looked like this, but what I looked like when I was alive…I had a disguise ring and it made me look like the way I did when I was still alive."

"Well," she muttered teasingly, "you sure were something when you were still alive."

I chuckled,
"I wouldn't know…As for why I wouldn't date you- yes, me being a ghost was one of the reasons. The other one was that yes, I am dating Raven from the Teen Titans."

"So," Sarah asked, "why are you at the college?"

"Well," I said, my face reddening a bit, "I am on a mission. Robin needed someone to go undercover here. That someone was me…and Cyborg, we both had to use the disguise rings."

"Mission?"

I cracked a smile,
"Well, you know about that mysterious figure that fought the Titans?"

She blushed and I laughed,

"It was near the college so Robin thought that it might be a student…Guess he was right."
Her eyes widened,

"You aren't going to tell him, are you?"
I laughed slightly,
"I kind of have to…but I will do it after Robin understands that you and your brother aren't criminals."

She smiled,
"Thanks, Danny."
I nodded,
"No problem. But…can I ask something?"
"Shoot."
"The ghost…who is it?"
"An enemy of mine that died and no, I didn't kill him. One of his inventions did. And as a result, he's a ghost."

I nodded,

"Okay…"

Soon, we both headed back to the college. On the way there, we chatted and laughed. I ran into Lee when I got back to the dorm. I tossed him the necklace.

"Sarah explained everything," I said. His eyes widened and then narrowed. I held up my hands in mock defense.
"Don't worry dude, really."

Sarah came up from behind me,

"He's cool, Lee."

Lee smiled and patted my back again.

"I knew you were something, Danny!"

He laughed and I mildly glared. I sighed.

"If you don't mind, I have a call to make."

Sarah bit her lip and nodded,

"Come on Lee, give poor Danny some privacy!"
Lee and Sarah left. I grabbed my communicator. I called Robin.
"Did Dani and Beastboy call you yet?"
"Why do you always ask that- and…Did you say Dani?"

I felt my sweat drop. Robin sighed,
"She told us, Chris…or should I say Danny? Look, that's not important. We know and we're okay with it."

I sighed in relief. Robin continued,

"What do you have?"
"Information. Lots of it too. The girl you fought, she's not a criminal."
"Of course she is! She wrecked-"
"Because she was in a fight!"

I ran a hand through my hair, and sighed,

"Look it up. She's not working with Slade- like you thought. She's called Scarlet and she's a hero in a few towns over."

Robin nodded and I continued,

"That guy that was with her is called Lihim. He's her twin brother, by the way."

Robin narrowed his eyes,

"How do you know all of this?"

"I met her…and you were right. She is one of the students here at the college, so is her brother. But she's not a criminal! She's ghost hunter hero…sort of…Look, her enemy died- don't give me that look he died because he was experimenting with ectoplasm and nuclear energy. As a result, it blew up and he's a ghost. That's who she was fighting."

Robin looked at me in disbelief. I rolled my eyes,
"Dude, I'm a ghost."

A blue wisp escaped my mouth,
"And uh, Robin, we might have a ghostly problem now."
