What's that? Is it a bird, is it a plane? Gasp! It's a 40-year-old man fighting a teenager.

And losing. Don't forget to add that in.

Every news station in the city was talking about the fight between the Flame Hero—Endeavor and the new supervillain in town.

"Whoa whoa. Time out!" screamed the whited haired boy in perfect Japanese. "Don't you need to have a PhD to be a supervillain?" He said, floating several feet up in the air while effortlessly dodging Endeavor's fire attacks.

"Enough with your quips, child!" shouted Endeavor in all of his fire flamed glory. "Stand down or face the consequences."

"Hey, just trying to be politically correct. The average super villain has at least 3 doctorates, I'm a teenager who hasn't even finished high school yet. Get your facts right."

Endeavor fired his most powerful attack at the child mocking him in front of a helicopter news crew. "PROMINENCE BURN!" He shouted creating a burst of red flames as wide as a—well a river that was wide.

The boy waved his hands erecting a large blue shield to counteract Endeavor's fire.

Ice + Fire = Steam.

Unstoppable Force meets Unmeltable Object = The entire city getting a free sauna session.

Phantom disappeared after the steam dissipated. Endeavor ended up standing alone in the pavement and getting blamed again for causing traffic.

PHANTOM—VIGILANTE OR VILLAIN—YOU DECIDE!

The only time Shota ever got to watch the news if Yamada sent it to him. This time, it was the latest Hero Fight between the new vigilante Phantom and Endeavor. Phantom arrived two weeks ago when he mysteriously appeared in the sky in broad daylight. Kamui Woods was in the area and apprehended the child since public quirk usage was illegal. And then the fights started.

Ever since then, Phantom has been spotted delivering criminals to police stations whilst running away from pro-heroes trying to capture him and bring him to a detention facility where he belongs. He was what 13-14, not much older than any of Aizawa's students really and even more reckless in his opinion. Shota saw the entire fight in his phone and noticed that Phantom just couldn't stop throwing out quips. Although the staggeringly obvious thing that should be noted from the fight was how Phantom seemed to have multiple quirks that he wielded with far more expertise than his students. This was worrying seeing how the last time he met someone with multiple quirks, he had his head bashed into the ground.

At that moment, he received a call from Endeavor's agency.

It was about time that they called him in.

Danny knew that the multiverse existed and the Ghost Zone was practically a portal to various worlds in various dimensions. He doesn't remember how he arrived in Japan. In a another world, speaking perfect Japanese like he was speaking it all his life. Last thing he remembered was saying the words "What's the worst that could happened?" and through narrative convention, the worst thing happened.

Well, probably Not the worst thing. Dan was still by far his worst nightmare. But being in a strange world with no way of getting back home was—strangely not worrying. He learned late in his half-life that he was actually pretty territorial like most ghosts. Amity Park was free real estate now that he was gone and his parents were probably driving around the Fenton RV with his face on the side, his mother shouting his name and describing him in an embarrassing way.

He just felt that everything was going to be alright in the end.

Danny's mind went to Clockwork's smug, all-knowing smile and suddenly he felt an overwhelming amount of rage. Clockwork always pissed him off and Danny was pretty sure that he already wasted his rewind chances with the Master of Time so whatever situation he was in right now; Clockwork was not going to bail his ass out this time.

Danny sighed. He was practically homeless; living off in shelters and sleeping on the streets. He missed Sam and Tucker, his bed, and even school. Danny never thought he'd ever missed school but two weeks living off the streets, saving people and getting shit for it (which was not really any different from home really), Danny wanted the rigid structure that school provided. It was something stable and by Ancients, he wanted a day where all he had to do was worry about next week's Algebra exam.

And then Danny thought. Maybe I should just get a job. (And then he didn't.)

Another week passed and Phantom's popularity eventually faded. People were far more interested in the U.A. Sports Festival. Nearly every pro-hero was attending either for security or scouting purposes. Endeavor was of course there to support his progeny and make sure he doesn't do anything that would embarrass him or cause his ratings to go down. That previous fight with Phantom not only impressed the public but also created some doubt on the legitimacy of the Number 2 Hero. If a teenager could easily evade him, what exactly was the taxpayer money all for? This applied to many famous pro-heroes who had the unfortunate chance of running into Phantom and trying to pick a fight with him.

Now pan above to the clear sky. Above the stadium, imagine a clear outline of a prepubescent boy squatting down and eating popcorn as he watched the show below him. Granted, he could have just easily snuck in and squeezed himself into the crowd but then again the view was so much better up above. Not many people could connect the dots that Danny Fenton was Danny Phantom. Unless your Wes Weston or Kyle. And Danny didn't want to take his chances. Endeavor could be a Wes after all.

"Sick!" said Danny in awe at peppermint head "I wonder if I could do that?"

Peppermint Head had created a Titanic-killing size glacier in order to stop a kid with a lifetime supply of elbow tape. A bit overkill in Danny's opinion but nonetheless he definitely was going to try and copy that. So Danny decided to visit the kid and ask.

Todoroki Shoto learn about the new vigilante Phantom ever since his father came home nearly setting the house on fire. He checked social media and was both amused and jealous to find out that a boy his age was out there taking on Endeavor with a smile on his face. It was even more annoying to learn that Phantom has multiple powers AND ice powers apparently which really got him thinking…

"Hey…"

Is Phantom? no the eyes don't match…Unless.

"Hey kid."

Shoto was alone on his way to the bathroom. There was nobody in the empty hallways.

"Psst!"

The voice was eerily familiar. "Hi!" A glowing boy with white hair and green eyes appeared right in front of him. Instinctively, Shoto brought forth a blast of ice to trap the vigilante.

"Rude. I just wanted to say hi." Phantom said in that echoey voice of his. He looks more offended about being encased in ice than afraid of getting captured by the authorities.

"You're a criminal. I'm calling security." Shoto was about to run but then realized that he froze. Literally. Phantom easily got out of his ice prison and shot Todoroki with his signature ice ray trapping him inside a Todoroki shaped ice sculpture.

"I'm not here to pick a fight I just wanted to know how you did that awesome ice glacier of yours."

Shoto promised that he would never use his fire fighting villains but he really needed to get himself out of this situation. He never thought that it would have come to this being trapped in another person's ice. Oh God, now he knew how Sero felt. Shoto decided that he was going to apologize to the tape boy again.

"I mean that was really cool. Pun intended." Phantom said, making finger-gun motions at him.

"Your eyes are blue." Shoto commented. There weren't any cameras near the bathroom so if Phantom ever decided to kidnap him no one will ever know.

"Huh. Oh yeah. Nobody really points that out though. So can you tell me how you did that glacier thingie?" said Phantom, quickly changing the subject.

"I'm not telling a criminal that." Shoto glared. He activated his fire quirk.

"Oh don't even bother, that ice is unmeltable." Phantoms said, waving a hand dismissively.

Shoto didn't care, he increased the heat of his flames so that the sprinklers would activate. Water descended, Phantom was floating in front of him a few feet from the ground. The water just passed right through him. "And also I'm not a criminal. I'm a vigilante. Apparently. Ugh! why did I think that this was a good idea." Phantom slapped his forehead and then snapped his fingers. The ice disappeared with a cartoonish pop.

Shoto was free. "I don't know." He admitted.

"Huh?" Phantom said, tilting his head to the right.

"My ice. I don't really know how it works. I just do this hand movement and ice is created." Phantom crossed his legs in the air looking all nonchalant. This situation was weird, Shoto had to admit.

"Could you do this?" Phantom asked, showing him a gloved hand. An ice sculpture of Shoto appeared in his hand as if by magic. Shoto was amazed and really jealous because he doesn't have that much control of his ice. Yet.

"Not Yet. But I'm learning." Phantom beamed. He dropped Shoto's ice figurine to the ground where it made a twinkling sound you could only hear when expensive diamonds fall from the neck of rich heiress into the perfectly white marble ground.

"Hey, I have an idea why don't we – " he never got to finish because a bullet got embedded into his shoulder. Shoto turn around to see that Snipe was right behind him along with Ectoplasm.

"Get away from the boy, villain!" said a trio of Ectoplasms.

"Not a Villain." Phantom felt the need to correct him. He doesn't seem at all bothered by the bullet hole in his shoulder. In fact, it didn't even affect him. Again, Phantom was more taken aback instead of panicking like a normal person would.

The floating boy stared at his bullet wound, eyebrows furrowing. "I can't believe you shot me. I've never been shot before. Well never with real bullets anyways."

Snipe fired another shot. Phantom just floated there with a blank expression on his face. The bullet was swallowed like quicksand. An Ectoplasm clone pulled Shoto back to safetly. "What do you want with one of our students!"

"I just wanted to ask him something. Compare notes, ya know. Since we both have ice powers." Phantom said after separating his body from a strew of bullets that passed right through the space from his abdomen.

Snipe kept on firing shot after shot but bullets don't really work when the person you're shooting can decide to go through them. Or avoid them by separating their torso from their waist.

"I called back up." Ectoplasm whispered to Snipe. The hero cloned himself again and all four started attacking Phantom at once. This was not a good idea.

"I don't think you people really figured out that I can just do this." Phantom said while phasing through all the Ectoplasm clones that ended up on the ground. "But I know when I'm not wanted" He raised his hands in concession. Looking straight into Shoto's eyes, Phantom disappeared.

"He turned invisible." Snipe announced.

A disembodied voice said: "Duh."

"But don't stop the festival because of me. I'm just here to have fun. Ciao!"

And that was the last they saw of Phantom.

Danny felt bad. The U.A. Sports Festival did stop because of him. He contemplated on apologizing in front of everyone but ultimately decided that it was a bad idea. Knowing his luck, they might even cancel the next festival to really rub into his face that he was the reason why everyone went home empty handed.

The Festival was cut short. Todoroki Shoto didn't get his character development from one green haired child, and Katsuki Bakugou didn't get to win.

Everyone lost. Go home.

Fuyumi loved her father even thought he was not she had to admit, not a very good Father. All she wanted was a nice, happy family like all her other classmates and co-workers but instead she had to deal with her father setting fire to the training room because he never went to therapy.

Fuyumi held up her phone to her face and sighed, she never really read any tabloids because they upset her too much but Natsuo did. Her little brother sent her a photo of Phantom and Endeavor side by side. The headline was just awful.

PHANTOM ACTUALLY ENDEAVOR'S SECRET LOVE CHILD?

The tabloid was plain slander. She was pretty sure that her father didn't sire any children not because he was unfaithful or anything but because Fuyumi knew that Enji was married to his work.

Natsuo on the other hand…

"That bastard. This is what he does, goes ahead and finds another woman with ice powers just so he could get his perfect heir!" Natsuo yelled at the top of his voice to his girlfriend.

"You know that's fake, right?" his girlfriend felt that need to point that out.

Natsuo wasn't listening. He was too busy watching photos of Phantom both using his ice powers and green flames. The boy was powerful and just about the same age as Shoto which means that his father cheated on their Mom while she had Shoto.

"Look at this!" Natsuo said, showing the side by side comparison of Endeavor and Phantom. The article was rather in depth in explaining the similarities of Phantom and Endeavor's powers. "Look at those blue eyes and tell me those don't look like my Dads."

His girlfriend inched forward to see the phone clearly, "They are a bit…glowy." She volunteered. She wanted to point out that she could not see any trace of Asian features in Phantom's face. He was very Caucasian and unlikely to be Endeavor's second-cousin twice removed. But she didn't want to be racist so she kept quiet and let Natsuo rant his heart out.

Natsuo inhaled. "Ha! Jokes on him though. If this goes on, Phantom might even ruin his career. If he does, I'll happily welcome him to the family." Said Natsuo in the tone of a man who wholeheartedly believes what his saying is true.

"I don't think you're thinking this through, Natsuo-kun. That's a tabloid. It's not real."

Although, in a different light, Phantom did really look like Endeavor.

"—In this rant, I will."

"Okay, that's enough, Todoroki-kun." Midoriya said. As much as he loved theories and hero analysis essays, he couldn't bear to listen to one of Todoroki's conspiracy theories. Last time, he accused Midoriya as All Might's secret love child and now he's accusing Phantom as his long lost brother or something.

"I mean; why would he approach me other than to reconcile?" Todoroki said.

Todoroki had a run-in with the Vigilante Phantom after the latter decided to come to the Sport's Festival and harass Todoroki. At least that's what the teachers were saying. According to Todoroki, Phantom just wanted to learn about his quirk, which Midoriya could understand. It was a bad day for everyone. Phantom practically cancelled the festival just by showing up. But that didn't stop Todoroki from spilling out his tragic backstory and it didn't stop Midoriya from convincing Todoroki that his power is his and not Endeavors.

"I think you're overreacting." Midoriya said. "I'm not actually All Might's son, you know. I mean I wish."

A determined expression crossed Todoroki's face like he was about to run straight to a wall despite the fact that the other side of the wall was a cliff.

"Hmm…I believe you." Said Todoroki, who did not believe him.

"Plus, not every superhero with ice powers AND fire powers is your relative. My dad has a fire-breathing quirk it does not mean we're cousins?"

Todoroki was about to open his mouth to object but decided against it after seeing Midoriya's expression.

Although, now that Midoriya thought about it, there was something quite suspicious about Phantom. He showed up around the same time the League of Villains released their Nomu—an artificial human with multiple quirks. Midoriya searched for Phantom's photo again. It wasn't a very good one. Some photographer with a literal camera quirk managed to get a non-blurry shot of Phantom. He was the only one who could take a clear picture of the vigilante and for that reason he decided to capitalize it until the hype for Phantom wore down.

All of Phantom's photos are blurry and grainy like one of those pictures with ghosts on them but it turned out to just be an error during development. This sparked more conspiracy theories in various hero forums, 2 of which he was the moderator.

There was one thought that came to his mind. And that—

"It couldn't be, right? Grand Torino?" said Toshinori anxiously to his old mentor who was on the other end of the phone.

Gran Torino glanced at the picture that Toshinori sent him. It was a boy with white hair and glowing green eyes. This was not uncommon in the world that they live in what was not common was the fact that the boy is shown to possess multiple powers like Nomus.

"I don't really see a resemblance." Gran Torino commented after looking closer at the photo. The boy was simply too...White.

"Not every white haired kid is his kid, ya know." Gran Torino says.

Toshinori nodded. "Yes. But I counted eight powers on this one and it's worrying me. It's possible that Phantom is an experiment. Or his son. Or he experimented on his son!"

"I wouldn't be surprised" said Gran Torino conversationally. "Still, the boy is a vigilante."

"He infiltrated the Sports Festival and nearly kidnapped a student. I fear he may be a villain at this point."

Gran Torino's eyesight was not as good as it was 20 years ago. There was a video of Phantom's fight against Endeavor. The video by itself was shot in perfect quality but for some reason, Phantom's image kept flickering in and out of existence. The boy was smiling, acting like the fight was a normal sparring session.

'Oh It's about to get chilly in here' that was Phantom's voice coming out from Gran Torino's phone. The boy fired an ice ray, freezing Endeavor's feet to the ground. 'Uh-Oh Someone's got a case of cold feet?". He chuckled.

"The boy is too funny to be his son." Gran Torino reasoned.

"Toshi…" he drawled trying to assure the grown man, "It's probably nothing but if he ever commits something grave like murder or actually kidnapping a student, we will arrange a task-force. Bedside's the League of Villains is laying low at the moment. Personally, I don't think Phantom's in league with them. He's too…unpredictable."

Toshi nodded, still convinced that Phantom could very well be All For One's heir. It made sense. His archenemy knew that they were both getting weak. Phantom was powerful, being able to take on the Number 2 Hero like he was a mere sidekick. If he was at that level, Toshi needed to train Izuku more in case he ever faces Phantom on a one on one battle.

Toshi hopes that day would never come.

Meanwhile…

"No, Tomura, he is not my son," said All For One in the tone of someone who has explained it 20 times and could not wait to get out of the conversation.

"But…" Tomura stuttered, "He has multiple quirks like you, Sensei. You could have just forgotten about him."

All For One considered this.

"Hmm…it's possible."

Tomura lips curved into a smile which cracked his lips even more. "We need to get him here."

"He's a vigilante, though. Are you sure that's wise?" All For One checked the footage of Phantom again. He listed his powers: Flight, energy generation, invisibility, intangibility, body manipulation, cryokinesis, possible regeneration, pyrokinesis. Not even Nomu can have this much without losing their intelligence.

All for One was curious. He liked to collect quirks. Phantom was interesting and if all goes well, he'd be the perfect catalyst for what he has planned with Tomura.

"You have my blessing," said All For One cheerfully.

Tomura laughed a laugh of someone who laughed in cold, dark underground buildings and are up to no good.

"This is going to be good. Kurogiri, get ready. Next time he shows up, we'll be there to greet him."
