Kim and Ron embraced. Kim was covered with ectoplasm goo but neither cared. They had been too afraid about never seeing each other. Danny was busy checking on the ghost hunter.

"What happened to her?" Ron asked over Kim's shoulder.

"Wasn't looking at the other ghost. She got hit into a building. She's not injured as far as I can see. Honestly I'm not sure what to do with her. I can't exactly leave her. But I don't think I have time to take her home," Danny replied.

"Danny, would you mind?" Sam called softly and motioned to her body, also covered in the green slime. Danny smiled and nodded. He left the ghost hunter's side and placed a finger on Sam's shoulder and the goo fell to the ground.

"What? How did you do that?" Tim inquired surprised. Danny chuckled and touched Kim.

"I can choose what I turn intangible. Helps in situations like this," Danny retorted calmly as the slime fell from Kim and then he turned to Ron and the same thing happened. He'd already gotten the slime off of himself from being caught briefly.

"So, you er… know her?" Kim asked, nodding to the ghost hunter.

"Yeah, we dated for a little while," Danny answered, looking thoughtfully at the hunter. Kim stared at him.

"Before you knew?" Kim prompted. He shook his head.

"I knew a long time before we went out. Actually it was a ghost that set us up," Danny replied.

"Not that you believed me when I told you that," Sam grumbled. Danny ignored her, he'd apologised for not listening her and admitted she was right before.

"Before you ask, she broke up with me. She thought my human half was in danger from my ghost half," Danny continued. Kim scowled at him.

"You didn't tell her then," Kim realised. Danny shook his head.

"There's a lot of bad blood between Phantom and her. I couldn't tell her. Besides we were only dating for a short time. It wasn't serious," Danny retorted, still watching the girl closely.

"Danny, why don't you take her to Axiom labs, I think her dad is working tonight?" Sam suggested, seeing Danny's dilemma. Danny smiled at her and nodded.

"Great idea. I'll meet you at the park, by that fountain. I'll drop her off and go straight there. Sam, Tuck would one of you mind checking on my parents and Jazz," Danny decided.

"Course dude. Here," Tucker replied and handed a thermos to Danny. Danny smiled his thanks and clipped the thermos to his belt and carefully picked up the ghost hunter. With a nod, he took off to Axiom labs.

Danny changed to his human half as he landed outside the lab and deactivated Valerie's suit and draped her arm around his shoulders and half carried and half dragged her to the lab door and banged loudly on it. Mr Gray poked his head outside and gasped.

"Valerie?!" he called, worried.

"I found her er… a few blocks over. She said something about a big blob ghost thing and Phantom before passing out. I hoped you were working and brought her here. Is she going to be ok?" Danny made up on the spot. Mr Gray took Valerie from Danny.

"Thanks Danny, you're a good kid. I'm sure she'll be fine. You going to be alright?" Mr Gray replied.

"Yeah, I'm staying over at Sam's tonight. I was taking a walk around the block for some fresh air. Guess I went a bit further than I meant to. But I'll be fine Mr Gray. Thanks, let me know how Valerie is," Danny lied easily. Mr Gray nodded and carried Valerie inside the building. Danny knew he had gotten Valerie into a lot of trouble but at least she was somewhere safe and his secret was safe. He walked down the drive and once he was hidden from the lab, he changed back to Danny Phantom.

Once Danny was out of sight, Kim turned to Sam.

"Are ghost fights normally like that?" Kim asked, a little shaken by how powerless she had been. Sam shrugged.

"With big ghosts, usually. But the smaller ghosts are usually easier," Tucker clarified.

"How long has he been doing that kind of thing?" Ron inquired, glancing at the neat ring of ectoplasmic goo that had fallen from Kim with Danny's help.

"A couple of years or so. He started a month after the accident," Sam answered.

"By the way, we should get to the park," Tucker added. Kim nodded and they ran to the car and Kim sped away to the park, Sam and Tucker directing the way rather than bothering Wade yet again for directions.

They got out and waited at the fountain.

"How is Danny going to catch so many ghosts?" Tim asked, spotting a blob fly overhead.

"It's going to take him all night and probably most of tomorrow too," Sam replied, her voice hinting at her sympathy for Danny. Tucker pulled out his phone and waved it at Sam, letting her know he was calling Jazz. She nodded.

Tucker dialled Jazz's phone number and after a couple of rings Jazz answered it.

"Tucker? What's going on? Dad crashed the assault vehicle into a fire hydrant. We're all fine. He's repairing it with the ghost shield up," Jazz explained without being asked. Tucker nodded.

"We're with Kim Possible and her, I guess, her team. They shut down the mind control machine. Valerie was out hunting Danny but she got knocked out. Danny's taking her to Axiom labs," Tucker updated her quickly.

"How's Danny?" Jazz asked carefully. Tucker understood her question.

"He's fine. Kim and her team know his secret. Apparently he changed back in front of them when he got knocked out. But he's fine Jazz," Tucker answered in an assuring tone.

"Thanks Tucker. I'll stall my parents as long as possible and give Danny a head start on all these ghosts. If he needs to stay out tomorrow night, I'll tell them that he's staying at yours, alright?" Jazz decided.

"That's fine Jazz. Good luck," Tucker finished.

"Thanks, but I think you'll need it more than me," Jazz retorted and hung up.

Thought I should check in with Jazz and her parents while there's a lull in the action… but let me know what you think of the story, we're getting close to the ending now.

Until the next chapter.
