Time slowed as a raven haired teen raced forward towards the giant vat of sauce that his friends, family, and teacher were strapped to. His blue eye's were wide in fear as he tripped and fell down to the ground while everyone looked at him proud at the hero he had become. There was no guilt or pain as the group of people looked at the teen in front of them wearing a white t-shirt with red highlights, blue jeans, and white sneakers. Someone who had faced their future and managed to beat them while defending the very town that despised them, sacrificing everything to keep everyone safe. A true hero who would hold them self to the highest values possible to keep everyone safe they all thought as the clock finally struck zero and time resumed in normal fashion.
Danny Fenton could only stair in horror as everyone he cared about went up in an explosion, unable to save them from his future self's wrath. He was blown a bit before everything seemed to stop and taking a peek the teen found himself looking at a certain blue skinned ghost who was gripping a staff with such force his skin was turning pure white. The red eye's burning so greatly as the ghost looked at the explosion wanting to do something about it but unable to before turning and speaking to him. "I am sorry Daniel but I am unable to save them... the observant's have gone a bit to far and I'm unable to do such a thing despite how much I want to. The only thing I can do though is... give you another choice, another way to get away from Vlad and change the way the world views you. It's my task to make sure that Dan Phantom does not exist and I will make sure of it... now when you change back to Phantom time will resume... and don't worry about him I'll make sure he get's his just deserts."
Before Danny could say anything the time ghost grabbed the thermos in his hand before suddenly stopping as he thought of something. "Ah yes... in my rush to prevent the dark future from happening I have forgotten about something very important, your house has been cleared of all ghost weapons, defenses, and ultimately the Ghost Portal. It was for the best Daniel, and to keep the government group known as the GiW or Vlad Masters from getting their hands on it... until we meat again and to my displeasure, all is as it should be." With that Clockwork left the halfa alone for a moment before he suddenly felt a new surge of power that removed all his exhaustion from his body. He turned intangible while at the same time changing into his ghost form while time resumed around him and the explosion happened.
Now the teen had snow white hair and glowing green eyes, he wore a black hazmat suit with silver gloves, boots, belt, collar, and a 'DP' symbol on his chest. When it was over the teen floated to the ground and his legs bucked out from under him as he looked at the flames in shock. Phantom never noticed that there was someone behind him looking at the entire scene in shock having managed to heard and witnessed almost the entire thing. This man wore a blue suit and had on a red cape, on his chest was a diamond with the letter 'S' inside it, he had black hair and unnaturally bright blue eyes. He was 'The Man of Steel' himself Superman who was just about to jump in and help upon seeing everyone tied to the vat of sauce until the teen in front of him suddenly came out of the sky and attack the one responsible for it.
He was momentarily blinded by at one point, and couldn't quite make anything out besides the fact that the white haired teen was trying to protect everyone with a vengeance. After all he had just arrived in town for the night after a quick sparing match against Black Canary while trying to convince her to join the Justice League. Shaking his head 'The Man of Steel' looked down at the boy who continued to look at the scene in shock before hearing the sound of tires screeching on pavement. The area was quickly swarmed by police, fire fighters, and various other medical personnel and news reports that proceeded to swarm the teen and tried to ask him question like why he caused the explosion. This sent him over the edge and now very angry Superman shouted at the top of his lungs which was loud enough to get everyone's attention in the area. "QUIET!"
At the moment Superman was seriously tempted to punch the next person who said something bad about the teen before speaking in a much more calm voice. "I witnessed the entire thing myself, this one is not at fault, in fact he fought the threat that is responsible for killing those people and if I hear someone say otherwise, they will live to regret this. Now I don't care what you have to say about Phantom or what he has done, this teen is a hero if I ever saw one and if this is how you treat him then this town doesn't deserve to have a hero. It doesn't matter who he is, or the fact that he is dead or alive, he's willing to sacrifice himself to keep everyone safe if the fight I just witnessed is anything to go by."
With that Superman walked forward and pushed threw the startled crowd before picking up the halfa and with one last glare at everyone he proceeded to fly away as fast as he could. The teen needed to be someplace else away from everyone and all those that hated him for what he was despite the fact he almost got himself killed trying to save everyone. Under a second later he was at the Watch Tower and entering threw an airlock much to everyone's surprise before walking into an empty room and putting the sleeping teen down. He was about to walk away until a ring formed around the teen's chest and changed his appearance, taking note of this 'The Man of Steel' left the room and the sleeping halfa behind.
Upon getting outside he was greeted by the sight of Martian Manhunter and Batman standing in front of him, obviously curious as to what he was doing. "Don't ask... If you need me I'll be breaking up meteors and letting out some anger... let the teen rest and I'll explain the whole thing later." With that the last Kryptonian proceeded to leave the same way he came while the two hero's exchanged looks with each other. Something had obviously pissed off the power house of the entire Justice League and that was never a good thing as everyone knew. So with no other words the two left, one to do research and the other to keep an eye out for any emergencies that required the Leagues help.
-|:-:|- Time Skip - Three hours -|:-:|-
Three hours went by before Superman returned and the senior members of the Justice League were assembled in a meeting room. All of them were curious as to what had happened upon hearing about the mysterious teen that their friend had brought in until finally the Kryptonian spoke. "As you all no doubt know by now I have personally brought someone to the Watch Tower and the only other person besides me who knows about him is possibly Batman. But before you say or do anything Bat's know that I think Phantom is a true hero and there is almost nothing you can say to convince me otherwise after what I had saw in his home town." The rest of the league was quiet for a moment before the Dark Knight decided to speak while bring up a few files about said hero.
"What ever made you think I would say otherwise, I've done the research and have debunk some of the stories surrounding our resident ghost." With that said two important images appeared, one of Phantom robbing a bank with red eye's and one of him supposedly kidnapping the town's mayor with green eyes. "These are the main two events that I've focused on, here anyone can see the difference in their eye colors so it's safe to assume that in this bank robber photo he's under mind control. Later on all the stolen items were found inside one Frederich Isak Showenhower's aka Freakshow ringmaster of the Circus Gothica's freight care." The other hero's raised an eyebrow upon hearing this but said nothing as their friend moved onto the other picture of the halfa supposedly kidnapping the town's mayor. "Most people are ignorant in Amity Park, none of them bothered to look past the fact that it appeared that Phantom had grabbed the mayor. As such none of them bothered to take note of the mayor's change in eye color or the fact that it appeared to be him that grabbed the teen. Again it's safe to assume a form of mind control was used here, possibly from one of Phantom's enemies seeking revenge against him."
Superman sat in shock upon seeing the 'Dark Knight' easily debunking the stories that surrounded Phantom before bringing up a recording from earlier of Phantom changing and speaking. "As seen here, this is how Phantom can seemingly disappear from everyone's sights, like this is he is known as one Daniel 'Danny' Fenton. He is the only son of the ghost hunters of Amity Park known as Jack and Maddie Fenton, he had an older sister known as Jasmine 'Jazz' Fenton and two best friends. One Tucker Foley and one Samantha 'Sam' Manson, all of them went to Casper High where he appeared to be a no one, easily overlooked by everyone and a target for bullies." Of to the side Flash blinked in surprise upon seeing how much the two sides of him looked alike and momentarily had to wonder why no one even noticed the similarities between the two as Batman continued.
"Approximately one year ago his grades started to drop and this was around the same time that Phantom first appeared and when the Fenton's claimed to of built a successful portal into a world they called the Ghost Zone. It's probably safe to assume that he was caught in the opening of said portal and somehow becoming half ghost, but he never told his parents about it. Several time's they have shot at Phantom and probably all their talks about what they would do to a ghost if they caught one prevented him from telling them out of fear." Off to the side Green Lantern balled his hand with his ring into a fist slightly out of anger that someone's parents were shooting at them. As for Wonder Woman she was surprised upon hearing the part of Danny being half ghost or in other terms an artificial demi-god in some weird twist of fate somehow.
With that said Batman proceeded to give a long list of enemies that Phantom had built up over his short time before coming up on two in particular. "This here is Vlad Plasmius, the Wisconsin Ghost, and the current mayor of the town Vladimir 'Vlad' Masters and the only family that the boy has left as it were. He is another halfa older then the boy who appeared as a millionaire one day, two years after an accident in college that no doubt gave him his powers. Masters was a close family friend of the Fenton's... he no doubt thinks that it's his responsibility to train Daniel who won't accept it. Later on when Danny reappears after a certain amount of time, if he does that is, Bruce Wayne will be filing for custody of him. But combined with the fact that he was last scene at the sight of the explosion and all that was left behind of those that were caught up in it was some ash it's unlikely that Master's will be able to get him."
Martian Manhunter had to blink upon hearing this, very unsettled by the fact that their was a madman after Phantom and wanting him as a son while Batman continued to speak. "Finally there is the government agency known as the GiW who's goal is the capture and destroy all ecto-plasmic entities they can find. I've already done some digging and found out they were the reason we didn't hear about Phantom sooner, and with every passing moment I have found numerous accounts of them causing more harm then good. Already I have found evidence of them firing missiles at a school full of children from jets, attacking people who just barely resembled Phantom, and once buying Fenton Work's to fire a missile into the Ghost Zone in hopes of destroying it."
At this moment everyone was quiet upon hearing this bit of news while wondering how they didn't managed to go threw with their goal that one time upon hearing someone new speak up. "I actually managed to convince the ghosts to help me move a giant rock right in front of the portal making the missile explode right in the human realm. If I didn't you could of kissed Earth goodbye forever sense the two are inter connected, one world not able to exist without the other as it were." Suddenly appearing at the end of the table was none other than Phantom who saw in mid air his leg's crossed while looking at them all before speaking again. "If your wondering how I managed to get here without raising any alarms I used my powers, one of them being duplication to leave a human copy of myself in the room. I have many powers so you know, and new one's tend to pop up from time to time when I need them most or I managed to learn how to do it from just watching some of my enemies thanks to the high learning curve I have."
All the hero's looked at Danny for a moment out of shock upon hearing this leaving the halfa to fidget slightly out of nervousness until Flash spoke. "How long have you been there?" At this the halfa smiled sheepishly for a small moment before speaking to them all again. "I just got here when you mentioned Plasmius... though you do have a bit of information here and there wrong, after all the dragon I fought was actually the an allie of mine known as Princess Dora. She has this amulet that allows her to turn into a dragon, she also has a brother that kept the kingdom they ruled under a ridiculous law preventing it from growing and keeping the same technology they had when he first came into power. As for the wolf his name is ironically Wulf and he's also an allie of mine who lives around the nearest lake to Amity and I have a few other allies as well. Oh and before I forget Vlad is a very crazy fruit loop and tried to clone me once, all results failed and the only one that survived turned out to be a girl who is currently exploring the world right now, her name's Danielle or Dani with an 'I' Phantom and practically looks like me. We tend to call each other cousins as it were to make our actual relation less awkward then it actually is to the both of us."
It was quiet once more as the hero's listened in on what the halfa had said, it was one thing to want someone as their own, it was another to try and clone someone. For a moment Danny was seriously tempted to run away before suddenly Green Lantern spoke up surprising him. "I don't know about all of you but I for one have to agree with him, Master is one crazed fruit loop and I say we let him join, all those in favor." At once everyone raised their hands surprising the halfa before Superman stood up smiling and spoke directly to him. "Well then Danny, welcome to the Justice League... we will keep you secret safe for the time being, after all every hero is entitled to a secret Identity. As for your... cousin we will track her down and alert her to the situation at hand, until then feel free to stay in the room your currently in while the rest of us proceed to get some work done. After all you just lost your family and I believe that anyone here can agree you deserve time to mourn them and you friends."
Surprised Danny could only nod as the older hero's got up and proceeded to leave and do what they needed to do for the rest of the day. As for the halfa he went back to his room before promptly dispelling his duplicate and falling onto the bed where he began to cry for the loss of all those he held dear. What felt like days later he was done crying but only an hour went by, as such he felt like Clockwork had a hand in helping him out. This was answered for him when a note containing some sort of spray was suddenly on the stand next to his bed and picking them both up he saw it was from the resident time ghost. "Dear Daniel, As you have no doubt noticed time seemingly has moved extremely slow while you let out your emotions. This was from me meddling in the time stream again, the reason for this is because of the observant's or more importantly floating eyeballs as they appear to be. I have been made to watch over you as a result of my meddling, which may work out in our favor for preventing Dan from happening."
Danny blinked for a moment surprised that the master of time was his guardian before shaking it off and continuing to read the rest of the letter. "This spray is special and can strengthen any ghost it comes in contact with, including a certain half ghost cousin of your's. Her ghost side is unfortunately unstably at the moment and she can't use it without possibly turning into a puddle of ecto-goo. Also when you get permission to build a lab all you parents old inventions and blueprints will reappear in the area that has been chosen for them. Eternal Luck, Clockwork."
For a moment the halfa could only stare in shock at what Clockwork had told him before growing very worried about his cousin Danielle. On the bright side he had a way to save her and if it was the master of time who gave him the cure he better use it the first chance he got. Then there was the fact that he was suppose to get permission to build a lab with ghost equipment somehow, and the time ghost would return all the items that was taken from Fenton Work's to help furbish it. Shaking his head Danny used one of his powers to burn the paper before heading out to get something to eat at the cafeteria.
Their was barley anyone there besides some mechanics that helped to keep the station running so with ease Phantom got some food before sitting down and eating it. He promptly ignored the few people who looked over at him before finishing and proceeding to find someone so he could ask them about the lab he was told to get permission for. The halfa got lost several times and had to backtrack, eventually he got tired and decided to phase threw everything until arriving at the main room where Martian Manhunter was at the moment. "Phantom, I sensed you coming, what seems to be the problem, I'm sure one of the Justice League members or the personnel can help you out."
Danny to stop for a moment slightly surprised that the martian knew he was behind him before shrugging it off and speaking. "Actually I came here in hopes of finding out if I could build a lab in a spare room here, that way if any ghosts show up the Justice League can have proper protection from them and I won't be needed all the time to fight them off. It's simple really, just a few ghost hunting weapons, a portal into the Ghost Zone, and a way to throw up a shield to help prevent ghosts from attacking." For a moment Martian Manhunter was quiet as he looked at the halfa with an raised eyebrow, obviously surprised by the question asked of him before finally speaking. "I'll have to ask the others but I don't see why one of the spare rooms can't be converted into a proper space for lab... though don't be surprised if Batman decides to take an interest in your work."
The halfa nodded before turning around and promptly being tackled by someone yelling "DANNY!" and recognizing who was behind it. "Dani? What are you doing here... how did you get here, this is suppose to be a secured location only accessible space craft or teleportation." The halfa could only star at his cousin, who was in ghost form, in shock for a moment as she hugged him before hearing a familiar gruff voice. "We found her crossing the Atlantic, if it wasn't for Aquaman we never would of caught her before she hit the main land and was half way to Amity." Looking up Danny saw Batman behind them alongside Green Lantern, both of them looked smug before finally Dani broke away from him and spoke. "Yeah... I heard a bit of what happened and was rushing to Amity Park without knowing that you survived or was actually accepted into the Justice League. After having a whole fan girl moment these two easily explained to me everything that had happened so far before bringing me here."
The female halfa smiled sheepishly for a moment while the three hero's smiled at the sight of the two of them, until Danny remembered something. "Right... Danielle isn't there something else you want to tell me, something important pertaining to your ghost half possibly?" At once the three older hero's looked at the female halfa slightly surprised while she looked at Danny bewildered by the fact that he appeared to know, before finally speaking. "How do you... but I never... actually yes... my ghost half is unstable and using it and I can't quite use my powers without turning into a puddle of goo." Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter looked at her in total shock, batman was ever stoic an didn't show any emotion but he was also surprised as the male halfa spoke. "Yeah... I have a friend who recently told me about that... he goes by the name of Clockwork and he's the master of time. He also happened to of given me a way to permanently stabilize you that I intend on using as soon as I get back here with it any minute now."
