/This is all Danny talking/

"When I was seven, nearly eight, I was in my birth parent's house. They, my birth parents, were ghost hunters as well. They used to use my siblings and I as test subjects themselves. But my twin and I were the only ones they had succeeded in giving ghost powers to. My twin sister, her name's Danielle by the way, had escaped but I was caught. I let myself be captured in order for her to escape.

My birth parents had done different types of test over six years, they had waited until her and I were one to start our tests. Tests would span from making us sit in tubs of ectoplasm to even just injecting it into our veins. I had wanted to just give up at that point, but Danielle had convinced me otherwise. I think if I hadn't had her, I would've attempted to end it all" Danny wasn't entirely sure why he was spilling his entire guts to a practical stranger, but Vlad wasn't stopping him.

"Tests were done daily. Some days our parents would do surgery with us awake or asleep, depending on if they wanted to test how we registered pain" Danny continued.

"How many siblings did you have?" Vlad asked. "That I met? Eight. But I know that there were a lot more, though many did die from the stress that the tests put them through" Danny explained.

"What are your mother and father's names?" Vlad asked, suddenly having a notebook. "I heard from the people at the lab that they were Alison and Bruce Jamieson" Danny looked at the older halfa, "What was it like the first day at the lab?"

Then he began to explain.

About fifteen other children lined up next to him. His sister's place left empty. "Daniel Jamieson, your name will now be Phantom, understand?" A man he'd soon know as Dr. Chase told him, which he quickly nodded, too afraid to speak.

"Follow me" Dr. Chase ordered; the younger boy wasted no time in following him. The doctor led the young boy down a series of twists and turns and eventually they ended up in a room with a single table and two chairs on either side.

A large bulky woman stood by the table, a taser on one side of her hips and a pistol on the other.

"Phantom, can you hear me perfectly?"

"Yes, sir"

"Can you see me perfectly?"

"Yes, sir"

"Can you feel this?"

Danny glanced up just in time to see the woman's fist coming towards his face, sending his neck twisting in the other direction. A throbbing pain flared up the side of his face neck.

"Well, can you, boy?"

"Yes, sir" His voice quivered.

"Excellent"

Dr. Chase began scribbling on the files. "Roma, escort Phantom to his room" He ordered. The bulky woman, Roma, roughly grabbed Danny's arm, pulling him to his feet. "This way" Roma basically threw him into the hallway, closing the room's door behind her.

Danny finished his story.
