Chapter 9: Dream or memory
A black gloved hand slid over a control panel, landing on a small green button. The hand pressed it, and the area around the panel began to glow green as electricity arced around the portal.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Danny Fenton screamed as the ectoplasm of the ghost portal fused to his DNA, turning his black hair snow white, his blue eyes bright green, and inverting the colors on his hazmat suit.
Danielle opened her eyes and gasped, shooting straight up from the dream.
"A...a dream?" She asked herself.
Raven opened her eyes, waking up from the emotions she was detecting. Slipping out of bed, she pulled on her cloak and walked to the main room, finding Danielle looking out the window in human form, sipping a mug of hot chocolate.
"Danielle?" She asked.
The halfa took notice of the empath. "Oh, hi Raven, I didn't know you were up."
"I wasn't until I felt your confusion." Raven deadpanned.
"Oh, sorry about that, just some weird dreams is all." Danielle said apologetically.
"Why are you confused?" She asked
"It's just...in my dream, it didn't feel like a dream, it felt like a memory."
"A memory?" Raven asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Only, it wasn't mine, it was Danny's."
"Oh?"
"It was when he turned on the ghost portal and got zapped."
"That might explain it." Raven said, having an epiphany.
"What?" Danielle asked.
"You're Danny's genetic clone, and there have been reports of psychic links between clones, including sharing memories." Raven explained.
"But, if Danny's dead, why wouldn't the link be...cut off?" Danielle asked.
"Don't tell Robin, or any other Titan, but I think Danny might still be alive." Raven theorized.
"I promise." Danielle told her. "Thanks for the chat, I think now I might be able to make sense of it all."
"You're welcome, and you had better get back to bed, I have a feeling something big is about to happen, and whatever it is, we need to be prepared for it." Raven said before teleporting down to her room. Danielle turned to her ghost form, her outfit changed since she first joined the Titans. Her jumpsuit had been altered from its original two-piece appearance to cover her midriff. A strip of white ran from the top of the belt to her neck, with her emblem on her chest in black. The rest of the shirt was black, with white gloves in the same style as her original outfit. The pants had remained unchanged, black with a white curve around the cuff and covering the shin. She took a second to admire her change in apparel before phasing through the floor and down to her room, landing on the bed and shifting back to human before falling asleep, battles between Danny and ghosts playing out in her head.
