I'm sorry it's been so long, college is touch for me. So...it's hard for me to find time for any of my fanfictions or anything. So...Danny will reveal and I feel as if there are too many fics in the Danny Phantom Xovers where he is not accepted by his family. I'm too tired of seeing them, I'll read them, but I can't bring myself to writing the family not accepting him. And I'm not doing too much more, if anything theres only going to be one more chapter then done. Also, I'm not too sure about this chapter so...
Danny stared up at his house from inside the T-Car, not wanting to get out so soon. He had called Sam and Tucker as they were leaving the hotel to let them know he was headed home and have them meet him there. They tried asking him if he was alright and what happened, but he told them he would explain when he got home. He had also called Jazz, who wanted to go tell their parents but Danny stopped her from doing so. His parents...Just where was he going to start? I'm the very thing you hunt, sorry for lying? Of course, having the Titans with him, he felt more confident in revealing he was Phantom.
In his state, facing Pariah Dark and his future self was much easier than this.
He looked over at the other Titans, frowning. "I honestly have no idea how to start..."
"You can't explain how you explained to me...?" Raven raised an eyebrow at him. "That was easy wasn't it...?"
"But that was you..."
Danny blinked a bit. Maybe...it was easy to start off as Phantom...? Well, no harm in trying it...right? Or at least he hoped that he wouldn't be harmed, but it'd also be just as easy explaining as Fenton. The Titans', besides Raven, eyes all widened as a white ring appeared around Danny, splitting and going in separate direction as they changed Danny from Fenton to Phantom. None of them, except for Raven, expected him to transform, but they weren't going to tell Danny how to tell his parents. It wasn't their place. They were just there to clear any misunderstandings and take Danny to the Tower for a little. Robin raised an eyebrow at him, "Ready?"
Danny took a small breath and looked up at them. "...Ready as I'll ever be."
At that, they all got out of the car. Robin walked up to the door with the small group, Danny with Raven behind the others. He took one last glance at his teammates and Danny before knocking on the door. The door opened not too long after. Jack and Maddie were at first excited to see the Titans once more, but then their gaze landed on Phantom in the back. Maddie's eyes narrowed as they both pulled out ecto-guns. "Phantom! Titans, get away from him!"
Danny's green eyes widened, having expected this reaction but he still wasn't ready for it. However, the Titans all stood in front of him. Robin frowned, speaking up. "Phantom is not a menace, lower your weapons..."
"No! We heard about his attack in front of the Nasty Burger!" Maddie shouted, keeping her gun aimed at Danny. "We've known from the start Phantom is nothing but evil! Just like all of his kind..."
Their words cut deep and he wanted to disappear, change back to Fenton, return home and everything would be fine again. Every day he took it, hearing them curse Phantom and judge him for what he is rather than what he did, never taking a chance to understand him. It had to end, sooner or later it would come out. He gazed down, fighting the urge to fly away. Raven placed a hand on the halfa's shoulder in a small attempt for comfort as Robin stepped closer to the Fentons. "Lower your weapons. Phantom is not evil, just let us in and explain the situation."
"Mom! Dad!" Jazz's voice called out as she came running up to her parents, Sam and Tucker right behind her. "Just let them talk..."
She glanced at Danny, sending him a confused and worried look which were identical to the ones Sam and Tucker wore. They didn't understand why he had come home as Phantom and not Fenton, he didn't tell them anything over the phone. Jazz returned to soothing their parents like she always did while trying to make sense of things. Eventually, Maddie and Jack lowered their guns and let the Titans and Phantom through. Of course, they were very cautious about Danny.
Robin had them all sit before explaining, standing next to Danny. "What happened in front of the Nasty Burger wasn't Phantom's fault. He was being controlled by one of our tougher enemies." At this, Cyborg revealed the syringe with red ectoplasm. "We learned it was red ectoplasm that allowed him to control Phantom, destroying any sense of will and making him do things he willingly wouldn't do..."
Maddie's eyes widened at the substance; never in her and her husband's research had they heard of red ectoplasm. She stole a glance at Phantom, who was gazing at the floor and...appeared to be trembling slightly? She never had a chance to truly watch his reactions up close. She frowned and looked back at Robin. "I see...but...have you found our son? Our daughter said you guys were looking for him..."
Robin nodded and looked at Phantom. "Danny?"
Maddie jumped up from the couch before Danny had the chance to speak, obviously jumping to conclusions. Her lips curled into a snarl. "Talk ghost! Where's our son?!"
"Mrs. Fenton!" Sam stood, her voice shaky with nervousness. "I'm sure Phantom knows where Danny is and wouldn't let any harm-"
"Sam."
Sam stopped and looked at Phantom, her violet eyes locking with his bright green ones. He shook his head and offered a tiny smile. "It's...alright...no need to defend me."
Jazz had Sam and her mom sit back down as they all fell silent. Danny took a deep breath and turned to his parents, walking closer to them. Deep down, he was a nervous wreck, facing his parents like this. "...Mom...Dad..." He choked out. "I-It's me...I am Danny...I am your son."
Jazz, Sam, and Tucker's eyes widened as they stood up from their seats, having not expecting Danny to reveal himself to them any time soon. At first, Jazz was going to question him what he was doing but turned to their parents to see how they would react. Maddie and Jack remained silent as they examined Phantom before Jack stood from his seat on he couch. "Liar!"
Maddie joined him. "Our son...is not a ghost...! Danny-"
He expected this, that they would reject the fact right from the start, but he wasn't going to back down now that he came this far. Danny frowned. "Didn't you guys ever wonder for a second why the ghost portal suddenly worked years back? Or maybe at how much your inventions reacted to me?"
"Well..." Maddie started, looking at her husband. It was strange that the portal started working without their knowing. They were showing Danny the portal and tried to turn it on, but it barely sparked and that was it. "We were curious...but we just thought that...it was delayed somehow."
"And we just thought that the inventions were just malfunctioning." Jack glanced at his wife for confirmation.
Danny looked over at Sam and Tucker, before looking back at his parents. "...After school, Sam and Tucker came over to see the portal..." At that, the familiar white ring appear around his waist and switched him back to Fenton, stunning Jack and Maddie. "I got into a jumpsuit and went to look inside...you guys had an 'on' button inside of it. I carelessly pressed it without realizing it, accidentally turning it on while still inside..."
The Titans that didn't know and were curious about how Danny got his powers listened in silent surprise. They all realized, same with Maddie and Jack, that the electricity as it opened a tear in dimensions allowed ectoplasm to fuse with Danny's DNA. They could all imagine the pain that it must have caused and were surprised that their friend sort of easily walked away from that. Maddie slowly stood from her seat and walked around the coffee table, stopping in front of Danny. "The shock from...that's what..."
Danny nodded, letting out a small yelp as his mother suddenly hugged him. "Oh Danny...we're sorry. Why didn't you tell us sooner...?"
"Maybe it has to do with all the 'let's rip him apart molecule by molecule'? It terrified him." Jazz chimed in, hands on her hips.
Her brother chuckled nervously. "Yeah..."
"Wow! When you put it like that, I would have been afraid too." Danny's father gave off a light laugh.
"We love you, sweetie, you." Maddie hugged him once more.
"Whether you're ghost boy or something in between." Jack also joined in the hug.
Danny looked at them before he started laughing. Everyone looked at him in confusion until he pulled away from Maddie and Jack, smiling happily. "It's funny," He felt a bit dumb for worrying about it too much. "You've said the exact same thing before..."
Robin couldn't help but smile, however, there were still some things that they had to get done. He walked up to the family. "Mr. and Mrs. Fenton we had hoped that you would allow us to take Danny back to the Tower. We have equipment there that will allow us to remove the nanos within him."
Maddie let go of her son and looked at Robin, nodding and smiling brightly. "Of course." She looked back at Danny. "Go get your stuff packed."
Danny blinked at his mother's unhesitating and quick agreement before smiling. He grinned and rushed up to his room, Tucker, Sam, and Raven following after him. The halfa sat down on his bed, looking up at his friends, smiling brightly, obviously feeling much better. He laid on his back, staring up at the ceiling. Everything had gone so smoothly, for once, he felt completely relaxed. Sam and Tucker glanced at each other, smiling as well, before joining their friend on the bed. Danny looked towards Raven. "Do you want to sit?"
"I'm fine." Raven smiled just faintly.
Sam glanced between the dark Titan and her friend, noticing the look he was giving her. "Danny, can I speak to you?"
He blinked and looked at her. "Of course. Raven, can you tell the others I'll be down soon?"
Raven raised an eyebrow before nodding, heading out of the room. All three friends sat up, Danny looking at the goth. Tucker, already understanding what the conversation was going to be, stood and left the room as well. Sam frowned just slightly, her brows furrowed together as if she was trying to piece things together. "...Danny...do you like Raven?"
"What do you mean? Of course I like-"
"No. You know what I mean."
Danny blinked, a hand scratching the back of his head. "Yes, I do. And...It...happened fast, but I kissed her once"
It was Sam's turn to blink. She had kissed Danny before, however, those were mostly "fake-out-make-outs". Sam smiled softly at him. "I see. She's perfect for you, I suppose. I don't know. I'm sure-"
"Sam." He cut her off, turning to face her completely on the. He may not be an empath, but he knew his best friends well enough. "Sam, I know you have feelings for me. Have known, and for a time I did for you. I just couldn't act on them. Don't be upset; you can get jealous pretty quick, you know?"
"I do not." She countered, huffing and crossing her arms over her chest.
Danny laughed a bit. "Alright. Just...because I'm with Raven, doesn't mean you'll lose me. I think I've been through enough to know not to ignore my friends by now, regardless who I'm with." He smiled as he hugged her. "I'll always be around for you. I'll come to yours and Tuck's rescue despite the distance."
Sam smiled faintly as she returned his hug. She pulled away, laughing at the big grin he was giving her. "I know." She stood up, still smiling. "Come on lover-boy, let's get your stuff packed for a few days."
Robin and Cyborg had gone to City Hall to clear up any misunderstandings that were caused by the incidents; they officially announced to the people that Danny Phantom was indeed a hero and a member of the Teen Titans. Danny was relieved that most of the town seemed satisfied. Though he knew that there would always be people who didn't approve, but that didn't matter to him in the slightest now. Even if it made things much easier. He closed up the portal, telling his parents how many ghosts loved sneaking through it and telling Jazz to keep an eye on them. Sam and Tucker said that they'd make sure he wouldn't fall too behind in school work and ghost hunting in case they showed up through natural portals.
It was only for a little while, so he wasn't too worried.
Jump City was much more larger than Amity Park; the size intimidated him only a bit, but he got over that quickly once he got to Titans Tower. It was amazing to him to say the least. He stood on the roof after placing his stuff in one of the guest rooms. It was a starry night, something that relaxed him. He smiled as he stared up at them, facing up a he floated a few inches off the roof in his ghost form. Raven walked out onto the roof, blinking when she saw his floating form. She glanced up at the sky before floating up next to him. "Comfortable?"
He yelped, surprised as he landed roughly on the roof. Danny blinked, looking up at her as then huffed. "I was."
She laughed a bit, landing. "Cyborg told me to tell you the machine is hooked up for tomorrow."
"Alright." Danny smiled, walking up closer to her. "Anyone say anything about our relationship?"
"Beast Boy tried, emphasis on tried." Raven smiled. "That ended quickly."
"Well...it doesn't matter, right?" Danny laughed a bit, bringing a hand up to her cheek. He moved closer to her and planted a quick kiss on her lips, causing her to shiver slightly. The halfa smirked a bit playfully. "Am I that cold?"
Raven looked up at him, her violet eyes landing on his green ones. "Just a little. Now come on, who knows what time Robin will have you up in the morning."
So yeah, chances are theres only going to be ONE more chapter. I am not sure when that will be, but it will come eventually. PLEASE try to refrain by telling me to update soon, such reviews start to irritate me a lil... Also, I couldn't just go on without some talk between Sam and Danny.
