"hey" Danny said smirking up at ember

"hey yourself" she said smiling down at the boy who was laying his head on her lap.

"ya know, you drive me crazy sometimes" he mused aloud

"really" she mused leaning backwards that's good because i don't completely dislike you either" she said smirking.

"i know, crazy right, i have that effect on people" he said with mock arrogance

"is that so?" she said

"yeah but its okay you have that same effect on me" he replied closing is eyes

"so i'm just like you" she said

"no, you're special no one makes me feel like you do" he said

"you're so cheesy sometimes" she mocked teasingly

"yeah i know but if that's what it takes to keep you close ill deal with it" he said with a slight chuckle

"you're a walking hallmark card. such a nerd but you're my nerd" she said leaning her head back to look at the sky


The master smiled, it only lasted about half a second but it was proof of concept, it could be done now he just needed to replicate it. he grinned evilly trying to contain his excitement, but now that he knew it was possible everything was coming together.

"what a failure, but at least it wasn't a complete waste" he remarked before fading into thin air.


Danny was fast asleep with his head on embers lap "whats going on in that head of yours?" she asked not expecting an answer.

the boy just snored slightly in response.

it was peaceful when suddenly his eyes shot open as a small blue wisp escaped his lips. "whats wrong" she asked him, unfortunately she didn't have to wait long for her answer. Suddenly ember screamed in agony as she was struck by a blast from her side.

Danny ran to her still looking for the source of the blast when another one rang out and clipped him in the shoulder. Danny threw up his ecto-shield not a moment too soon as a third blast glanced off of it. several more shot blinked toward him and bounced off his shield as he ran to ember.

ember was unconscious on the ground when he got to her but overall looked unharmed. Danny turned to the direction of the blasts as a few more glanced off his shield. he couldn't see the attacker but if he tried he could just make out the trail of the blasts barreling towards him, he waited staring intently at the area they were coming from hoping to catch one just as it fired. time seemed to slow down around him as he saw the shot coming towards him.

in that instant he rushed forward clipping just past the shot and straight down its vapor trail where the plasma had super heated the air and came crashing down on the assailant. he landed hard smashing his ecto shield into whatever it was crushing it, as the dust settled he looked around to see what it was. he saw a rifle laying in the debris on a stand with what looked to be a laptop attached to it, what the hell?

before he could think any further on the meaning of it he was sent tumbling to the ground by an explosion behind him. wait rifle? explosions? technology? this seemed like a certain ghost he knew. his suspicions were soon confirmed as he was tackled from the side trying to make it to his feet. "skulker" he said in a low growl.

"yes half breed, tonight the hunt is on" skulker replied

Danny phased through his grip to behind him before kicking him in the back "you're a dead man skulker, or ghost, or... oh you know what i mean"

"have been for years" skulker deadpanned

"What? no bravado? no speech? no screaming your name to the sky?" Danny growled

"no need, you will be gone soon?" he said in a darker tone, Danny glared at him "oh scary eyes? is that your plan, stare me to death?"

no this is my plan Danny said rushing in catching skulker with a strong right causing him to recoil, he moved in for a follow up hit but dashed backwards as skulker swung wildly with a knife almost catching him as he drew it.


ember woke to the sound of an explosion as smoke bellowed out of a building and her only thought was "Danny"
