AN: Italic and underline= thought and underline= written words
I looked around and my heart stopped upon the scene I saw. "Come on Robin let me show you how I felt after waiting for you for ten years, and then being found by one of your own enemies," I said, but it wasn't me. I growled and they both looked at me. I could feel my blood boiling as my eyes flashed with anger.
"Stay away from him, you faker!" I screamed. A great flash of white erupted from me and he disappeared. I looked down, upset with myself for reacting to the fear Robin had and took a deep breath. I concentrated on taking away his fear, when I noticed it wasn't a mental problem, but a physical contamination problem. "Sorry Robin. I'm still bad at managing my own emotions, but I promise I'll heal you. Even if it means making myself sick," I whispered. Then I placed my hand on his head to make sure I took away any fear that belonged to the contamination. Particles of dust fell out of his body and I instantly breathed in. I don't care if my nightmares come to life around me. If I get to protect my family in turn, then it doesn't matter.
The door bursts down and everyone is looking at me. Robin's heart rate had calmed down, but it's still up because there is a villain in the room. Just ask the rest of the Titans. They glared at me. I released a harsh cough and have to lean back against the wall. They are all preparing to fight me. Robin looks over to me, but his eyes doesn't seem to be as cold as everyone else's. Another cough escapes from me.
They are going to attack, I know it. Yet, I'm already feeling the effects of whatever was in my brother. How do I know? I'm looking at my brother again and he's bleeding too much. My hands made their way to my ears and I closed my eyes. "Robin, no. Stop it Robin, please," I whispered.
Robin stares at his brother as he came closer. Repercussion has his hand on Robin's shoulder as he glares at Robin's brother. Then a white light encompasses the room. Robin stares over at Repercussion whom looked ashamed of himself. "Sorry Robin. I'm still bad at managing my emotions, but I promise I'll heal you. Even if it means making me sick," he whispered and Robin stared at him, shocked. Why would he care if I'm okay or not? Robin thought.
Then Repercussion places his hand on Robin's head and a numbing feeling travels through Robin's body as dust falls towards the floor. He automatically breathes it in and Robin's eyes went wide. Robin knew that if this is what was causing him to see Slade then it couldn't be good for Repercussion to inhale it. Yet, he couldn't get rid of the feeling that it was wrong for Repercussion to come to help in the first place.
A loud bang echoed throughout the room as the door got broke down. Robin looked over to his team as they stared at Repercussion with hatred. Then, Repercussion released a cough as his body leaned against the wall for support. The Teen Titans got into a fighting position, while Robin watches, unsure of what he should do. Repercussion coughs again and his body slides down the wall. Repercussion stares up at Robin with his eyes filled with fear. "Robin, no. Stop it Robin, please," Repercussion whispered.
Robin stares at him surprised. After all, he saw Slade and now Repercussion saw him apparently. Repercussion continued to flinch back into the wall even though he had already covered both his eyes and his ears. "Umm… Robin, What's going on?" Beast boy asked while sniffling. Robin looks at him and then back at Repercussion.
"I don't know," Robin replies.
I closed my eyes but I can still see Robin. He's dying. I want to stop it, but there's nothing I can do. It's like my past keeps on repeating itself until I have no one left. I could feel tears building up. "Stop dying!" I shouted. I opened my eyes again as tears slid down my cheeks. I could feel my eyes constantly flashing. Then a white light escapes from me again, and I could start to see through the vision of my dead family. I could see the Titans watching me. They would attack soon, I just knew it. No one ever reacted kindly to me, almost like they knew something about me was different.
I let the shadows build up beneath me, and then I let them take me back to my home. Once I got there, I walked over to the bed and sat on it. I felt Cujo jump onto me and I hugged him softly. "Acrobatic ghosts keep falling, make it stop Dick," I whimpered. Then Cujo licked me, and another flash of white comes off me. I stared at Cujo with a small smile. He's shivering a little as well now. Looks like I'm not the only special ghost.
I smiled. "Thanks Cujo," I whispered and he barks in reply. A real smile made it onto my face when he jumps onto my chest, and tackles me with wet dog tongue kisses. I smiled, happy knowing I'm not alone. Not anymore at least. And with that thought two boys burst into the room. The Montgomery brothers, I chuckled, what would I do without them?
30 minutes later…
Cory and me were playing a crane game at the arcade. I watched Cujo from the corner of my eye as Cory hit the giant red button. "Yes, yes, yes… NO!" Cory shouts as the crane grabs the IPod and gets an inch before the drop-off when it slips through a space. Cory stared at the tiny little IPod box with pure disappointment. I chuckled as I patted him on the back.
I walked outside to Cujo when I spot a movement overhead. I paused. That can't be good. I bent down, and untied Cujo's leash from the pole I had previously tied it to. I closed my eyes and pursed my lips as I tried to decide on what to do. I opened my eyes and glanced between the arcade, and the nearest alley. Could I help? The times I did either ended terrible or just missed failure.
Just a look though couldn't hurt right? I wasn't playing hero, I was just being a nosy civilian. Yet, I wasn't all too sure this would be a good idea. So, I was grateful for the suit hidden underneath my normal clothes, which gave me a sense of extra protection. I walked into the nearby alley with a firm grip on Cujo's leash, and when I saw no one there, I almost gave a sigh in relief. But then I heard someone behind me. I stiffened as I turned and Cujo released a few growls in warning. "Hello, Daniel," the figure greeted. My eyes narrowed in suspicion and distrust for the figure in front of me. My whole body tensed into a fighting position.
"You!?" I shouted in reply.
AN: Hello again! I must admit I was really disappointed I couldn't give you guys the special present I had made, but you refused to review! I mean I would have accepted "Upddate soon!", "Hi!", or anything else you wanted. I got 9 reviews and I'm happy that they did so, because otherwise I may have gone on a hiatus for this story. I was really debating on it too, since final was coming around and I've gotten more reviews from other stories. Then I got a long review from two people. So, happy that I could at least count that as ten... I decided to give you guys one more chance. I won't set an exact limit, but in case those of you who wanted that special present want to know, we need 38 reviews. I understand that some of you may be busy, but just review RB (for really busy) and I will count that. If I do go on Hiatus I will send preview PMs to reviewers (sorry guest reviewers that I can't PM you). Now that I'm done scolding you guys and yelling, you should also know I'm making this AN really long on purpose. Why because I'm adding in a special deleted scene to those of you that actually read these ANs. I know I'm cruel, but blame it on the . or at least that is what me and my sister do. So the deleted scene starts now! The Box Ghost reached the ocean with a smile. That is until he spots the sign. WELCOME TO THE JERSEY SHORE! The Box Ghost releases a sigh in aggravation, but he wasn't one to quit. He frowned as he stared at all the people he could be scaring, there was even boxes laying about, and then turned around to fly in the opposite direction. He almost wept in despair. After all, a flight from New Jersey to California was going to be a long one. And he had already travelled a long distance already. Plus, he was sure to hear an ear-full from his wife. "BEWARE," he whimpered as he flew towards California, hopefully. I hope guys enjoyed that! So, the poll prize is now given which means, I'm done! If you want me to reopen that poll PM or review me. Now a word from the BETA.
AN? Lol, idk what to say, hmm will this suffice? : Heyo people! Thanks for reading and supporting this amazing author's story, I hope you enjoy each and every chapter and story from her! ^-^
*Blushes* Well, that was sweet. Yep, I bet you can see why I love my beta Oracleshadow! And now reviews (my BETA gave one as well! :D)
Oracleshadow:review for this chappie : omg poor Danny, doesn't even know he's actually a true hero with how he sacrifices himself for others. And Dick! It seems like the whole world is against him haha! Slade drugging him and Repercussion helping him. Overall, this chapter was great! I can't wait to see who the figure is! Update soon! ;)
My response: Well, that is Danny for you. Past events just destroying some of his self-esteem (am I portraying that good enough?) as he continues to fight an endless battle. To mention/quote a past chapter, he's the "Periphery" and he only has the option of "imagining and pretending about something better". Dick, well you can't have the episode "Haunted" without the world being pitted against him (or at least he thinks so) as he battles personal demons. I hope to update soon!
BringbackDannyPhantom: !YAY! Congratz on 6 consecutive reviews! Thanks for asking I'm more than happy to respond! Plus now I made a not to remember to put that in an incoming chapter. Maybe I didn't explain this well enough, but that isn't a Danny special power. It's a ghost power. All ghosts can give fear, but only ghosts with certain obsessions can take fear. (makes a note to further explain this in an upcoming chapter as well) I think three people thought it was just another ability I gave Danny, but I wanted there to be a reason why ghosts scare people and why people are scared of the box-ghost. I hope to see you make it to 7!
Darkverger1: Yes he almost did... but Danny to the rescue! Me? Quit? Never! Give you an extremely long hiatus without mentioning so in an AN? Yep, that I will do! Just check out Gone In an Instant... that poor, poor, story. I still have writers block on that. This story is still two chapters ahead. So, you don't need to worry, yet! :P JK! I won't do that to this story! I have a Beta and a previous writer who may have said that they would help if I get stuck.
Guest: Thank you! I appreciate the review. But will you please tell me what confuses you with chapters 12 to 13! Please!
scheffelman: Thank you! I hope you catch the DS!
Zolata: Thank You! And it is not all ghosts that can take fear. Only ghosts with certain obsessions can take away fear, but all ghosts can give fear.
anime3lover: Well, you picked a good week to fin it since this is the week I am updating twice because of the poll prize. (If I was you, I would read this AN... the whole thing it contains a secret, just for AN readers and most reviewers read my ANs anyway. But since you are a new and this is the first time I've done this, I'm throwing you a bone.)
Ciestess84: Either you read that whole AN (gives you applause), You caught the word Flash, You were the long-windy guest, or (looks to stuffed animal) SMORES TOLD YOU! Anyway, thanks plus I hope you caught the DS. Here is MMOOORE! P.S. Flash won't be the only one making an appearance. If you listen to Smores, you might have heard that someone in a green mask is coming in too.
Good Witch of Babble: Wow, your first paragraph was spot on (but it does also have something to do with their obsession as well) I don't think I could have explained that as well.(Find the DS in the AN) Yet Danny and Robins relationship, well think of it as roller coaster... and we're still waiting on line right now! So, you will have the good and the bad. The good thing is Danny is kind of making his own family as well. So, he can't go too angsty without someone interrupting (Go Cujo! Go!) Yet, now I feel bad, because it won't stay this happy with the montgomery brothers. Yet, look he wasn't bitten back! See! well, aside from that figure... hehehe, oh well, thanks for reading! I can't wait to see your next review.
