Chapter 17: Team Phantom Rests

After the latest super-adventure, Danny finally got to show Sam, Tucker and Jazz the footage of Dash and Paulina being punished. "I should've brought popcorn." Tucker commented while laughing.

"And I should've gone to the dance." Sam added. Seeing that would've made up for the pain of seeing Danny dance with Alex.

"Now will someone please tell me who this 'Danielle' is?" Jazz asked and Team Phantom reluctantly told her about Danny's clone. "Really? A girl copy of my little brother? And she's now a registered Super with the National Super Agency?"

"The government part is what bothers me." Sam commented. "What if they make her tell your identity, Danny?"

"Actually, they already know." Danny reluctantly replied and explained how they had to collect his mid-morph sample to stabilize Dani for good.

"Danny, you exposed yourself for a clone?" Jazz asked in shock.

"She's not just a clone." Danny argued. "She developed a mind of her own."

"Just another thing to hide from Alex." Jazz commented. "What if she finds out about your powers? Do you think she'll keep the secret?"

"I don't think she and her friends can keep any secrets." Sam answered. "Especially Clover."

Meanwhile, the spies were meeting Jerry. "Girls, Marco Lumiere escaped again." He told them. Keep an eye just in case he tries to abduct one of you another time."

Alex shuddered at the thought.

Back in Amity Park, Danny and his friends were still talking. "Now that we know Dani is okay, did you really date Teen Titan Starfire?" Sam asked out of jealousy. As if having a fellow normal human as a rival wasn't bad enough, there was also the possibility she had to compete with a superheroine.

"Honestly, I'm more impressed that you met Kim Possible." Tucker replied.

"I don't think she's all that." Sam commented. "A cheerleader being brave and selfless enough to do the heroics she's said to do?"

"I was there to see how she fared against Drakken back when we dated and saw her and some other girls stopping him later during the diablo incident." Danny explained.

"Danny, why would such an awesome cheerleader need a dating service?" Tucker asked. "She probably has every boy at her school wanting to date her!"

"That's what I thought until she explained about how most boys don't feel comfortable with villain attacks, or girls who can beat up those villains." Danny stated.

"Typical chauvinist mentality." Sam grumbled. She hated that kind of guy more than she hated cheerleaders. She then remembered what Danny said about Kim. "You appeared as Phantom during that date? Does she know…"

"No, Sam." Danny reassured his goth friend. "I left to change without being seen."

"I hope it didn't make her think you're a coward." Tucker commented.

"Nope." Danny replied. "She even became one of the girls I could've picked instead of Alex.

'He chose Alex over a cheerleader?' Sam thought and was relieved at this.

Meanwhile, at Vlad's mansion, Britney was looking for evidence of criminal activities when someone interrupted her by shouting "Stop right there!"

Looking around, Britney spotted three people and recognized two of them. "Elastigirl? Invisigirl? And… who're you?"

"I'm Voyd."

"She's a Super." Elastigirl added. "Now identify yourself before we arrest you for breaking and entering.

"I'm Agent Britney of the World Organization of Human Protection." Britney identified herself.

"Voyd, Invisigirl, keep an eye on her while I call Agent Dicker." Elastigirl told her fellow Supers and then called Rick. "Agent Dicker, we found a girl claiming to be of the World Organization of Human Protection."

"What's her name?" He asked.

"Britney."

"I'll call Jerry. Bye."

"While we wait for confirmation of your identity, how about you tell us why you are here?" Elastigirl suggested.

"We have reason to believe Vlad Masters started his fortune by robbing banks back in the Eighties." Britney explained. "We couldn't prove how he could have done that so we sent our findings to the IRS so we could investigate while he's under arrest and, at worst, he'll end like the Al Capone of the 21st century."

"Do you mean those robberies with no sign of anyone breaking into?" Elastigirl asked.

"Precisely." Britney answered.

"Then I think I can tell how Vlad Masters did it." Elastigirl commented.

Back at Fentonworks, Team Phantom was still discussing Danny's dates. "So, I've learned you fought crime along Supergirl, Batgirl and Starfire." Sam commented. "Did they learn your identity?"

"Did you learn theirs?" Tucker asked.

"In first place, yes, they know my secret identity but all of them agreed to keep it secret." Danny told Sam. "In second place, their identities aren't my secret to tell, Tucker."

"Did you at least ask Invisigirl how to deal with Winston Deavor?" Tucker asked. "We barely got to enjoy Vlad ending up like Al Capone only to learn there's another creepy billionaire knowing your secret."

"Al Capone?" Danny asked.

"He failed to come up with a proper excuse for the origin of his income and that's the only thing he's ever been sent to prison for." Sam explained. "Vlad also failed on that matter and that's what eventually got him in trouble."

"Well, I don't think Winston Deavor will cause trouble." Danny commented. "He might look as sneaky as Vlad does but I believe him to be legit."

"I'm still not trusting DevTech products." Tucker stubbornly said. "He might be putting on an act but I doubt he'll be brave enough to face danger if necessary."

They then heard the doorbell. They saw Maddie answering it. "Kids, this is Agent Rick Dicker." She said. "Agent Dicker, these are my kids Jazz and Danny and Danny's friends Tucker and Sam."

"Nice to meet you." Rick replied, pretending he never met them before.

"Equally, Agent Dicker." They replied, glad to play along.

"How may we help you, Agent Dicker?" Maddie asked.

"We have a criminal under custody we believe to have ghost powers and we'd like to check it out and have a way to contain him so he won't use his powers to escape." Rick explained.

'Does he know Vlad Masters is Plasmius?' Danny asked himself. 'I didn't even tell him he's a halfa like me.'

"Ghost?" Jack suddenly asked. "Cool! Anything to forget about V-Man being arrested!"

Rick's reaction suggested it's be a long day.

End chapter. Sorry it's short. I just wanted Danny to rest.

Answers to Leonardo (guest):

Capítulo 16: Obrigado. No momento em que a Sam Manson soube, ela estava preocupada demais com o Danny para se importar. Neste capítulo, ela finalmente mostrou alguma reação. Vlad ser preso por isso era algo que eu já tinha em mente faz algum tempo. A interferência dos Supers foi o que surgiu depois. Não darei spoilers sobre o que ele perderá. Já vi o filme e não tenho certeza se o Danny vai saber.

Capítulo 9: Não tenho.

Capítulo 6: Feliz Natal e um próspero e produtivo Ano Novo para você também.
