Seeing as how midnight had passed. Danny and ember were starting to get worried.
"What if he forgot about us?!" Ember said worriedly. Danny shook his head.
"He's the ghost of time. He knows everything. Also he could have sent us back to 1996, then after a second has passed for him reach back to right now and pull us out. He didn't forget us." Danny said.
"Then why are we still here?!" Ember asked getting a little frustrated.
"Let me think. Let me think." Danny said. Ember then had an idea.
"What if we are supposed to do something? You know, like there's a second reason he sends us here besides our date. Quick think of what happened last time." Ember said.
"Uh... let's see last time with Desiree we went to a broadway show, then we had an argument. I left her, she got nearly raped by some thugs, I kicked their asses really badly. We made up. Went to dinner. Then went to a park where..." Danny smiled thinking he figured it out. "Desiree went back to normal and thought I was just using her until I proved her wrong and got her to finally see the good in others." Danny said.
"So what?" Ember asked.
"I helped her with a problem. She was cynical and vindictive and I got her to be uncynical and be more trusting." Danny said.
"I don't have a problem like that." Ember said.
"No but you must have some problem we can fix here." Danny said.
"I don't have any problems I can think of. I don't have any problems with you, because honestly I never really hated you as you were too cute to hate. I don't have a problem sharing you-" She said. Danny cut her off.
"You think I'm cute?" Danny asked. Ember blushed a bit.
"Besides the point. I don't have a problem sharing you with Desiree cause honestly i think it would be nice to Desiree as a harem sister." Ember said. Danny sighed. Ember just looked at him. "Is there anything else that happened last time that hasn't happened here?" Ember asked. Danny began thinking thinking and shaking his head. Then he remembered something.
"Wait, Wait! Last time we found a card in a pocket that had led us to our dinner. It was a sort of like a road sign telling us where to go next." Danny said excitedly.
"Great! Let's start checking our pockets." Ember said. They checked their pockets but found nothing they didn't know about. They both sighed. "Fuck!" Ember said exasperated. Danny then saw a sign for a bus stop. On the sign was graffiti art of the ghostbusters symbol.
"No... really?" Danny asked. Danny then walked over to the sign. It couldn't be that easy could it. Then again the card for the restaurant last time was easy to see, but this? This was screaming to them as it was a ghost. Ember saw the symbol.
"Oh hey! Ghostbusters. I remember watching that once with Caroline before I died." Ember said. Danny looked at ember.
"When did you die exactly? If you don't mind me asking." Danny said.
"1986. Ghostbusters came out in 1984." Ember said.
"Ok." Danny replied. He then looked at the sign. It was just a regular bus sign to show where the busses pick people up.
"How is this a sign to tell us where to go now?" Ember asked.
"I still want to say it has something to do with you. Cause last time I helped Desiree with her cynical nature." Danny said.
"How does a bus sign have anything to do with me?" Ember said. Danny looked at the bus sign then had an idea.
"Caroline." Danny said.
"Caroline? What does she have to do with it?" Ember asked.
"Didn't Caroline get on a bus over here? She's your sister. There's a connection. Maybe your supposed to see her?" Danny said. She looked skeptical. "Do you have a better idea of how it's connected?" Danny asked. Ember sighed.
"No." She said.
"Then let's try and find her." Danny said.
"How. The bus could take her almost anywhere in the city." She said. Danny thought for a moment, before thinking of something.
"This is a long shot, but if clockwork knows everything that will happen. He'll know I would have come to this conclusion and would help me out." Danny said.
"Help you with what?" Ember asked. Danny put two fingers to his mouth before he whistled. Ember just looked at him confused. Then a dogs barking could be heard
"Oh thank god." Danny said. Then a small little green puppt ran up to the pair and started running around their feet while barking repeatedly. "Cujo! Who's a good boy?!" Danny said. Cujo came to a stop at his feet and wagged his tail happily.
"Is that a dog?!" Ember said a little nervous.
"Yeah. Isn't he cute?" Danny asked. Ember slowly backed away. Danny looked at her. "Are you scared of dogs?" Danny asked.
"Yes! Their evil and vicious!" She said a little scared.
"What?! No their not. What makes you think that?"
"My next door neighbor when I was alive had a dog. It scared the hell out of me as a child." Ember said.
"Oh come on. Just look at this little guy." Danny said picking Cujo up. "Who's a good boy? That's right Cujo! You are!" Danny said causing the dog to yip for joy.
"His name is Cujo! Come on! That name screams horror! Have you never read the Stephen King novel Cujo!" Ember said even more scared.
"You read Stephen King?" Danny asked. Ember gave him an "are you serious look"
"I like to listen to heavy rock music, and my sister loves to read anything. Yes I've read Stephen King." Ember said.
"Alright alright. Cujo smell ember real quick then find her sister." Danny said. Cujo went to embers feat and sniffed. Ember flinched and squeaked in fear. When Cujo finished he started sniffing around till he caught Caroline's scent. When he did started to change. Growing in size. As he did ember began to shake. Once he was full size he barked loudly before running off following the scent. Turning intangible as well so he could run through all the vehicles.
"HOW IS THAT NOT SCARY!!!!!!!!" Ember screamed as she saw the giant ghost dog chase after her sisters scent. Danny ignored her cry grabbed her hand, turned invisible, and flew after Cujo.
As Cujo ran through the streets, Danny and ember saw the bus up ahead. When Cujo reaches it he jumped onto the bus causing it to shake. It scared the occupants a bit but after awhile they went back to normal. When Danny and ember got to it they looked inside and saw caroline with her two daughters. Danny then patted Cujo on the head.
"That's a good dog!" Danny said. Cujo seemed to smile as he heard those words. Ember stayed 6 feet from Cujo. Danny then looked at her. "Oh come on. Just give him a little pat." Danny said. Ember didn't move so he went to her grabbed her hand and slowly moved her over to Cujo. Ember struggled but not enough to get out of Danny's grip or to stop her from moving forward. Soon she was within arms reach of the giant ghost dog. As ember whimpered Danny put her hand on Cujo's head and had her stroke him. "See he's not that bad. Now you do it on your own." Danny said. As he stepped away. Ember continued to stroke Cujo while still whimpering. Cujo enjoyed the strokes so much he decided to give her a big sloppy kiss. His huge tongue started at her torso then went up. His tongue was so big it cover her entire face. When he finished he looked at her happily. Danny was laughing at this. Ember though... ember was having to stop herself from screaming. She was covered in dog slobber. As she wasn't screaming she started to blubber. She looked at Danny pleading for him to make it stop. "Alright Cujo That's enough." Danny said. Cujo barked then become a puppy again. Danny then turned to ember and got the dog slobber off by making her intangible so it fell through her. "Well. At least we know he likes you." Danny said with an encouraging smile. However ember wasn't up for it and just continued to make crying sounds. Danny then looked at Cujo to find him gone. He could only guess that clockwork took him back. "Alright. It's ok. He's gone now. So let's go into the bus and just watch your sister." Danny said. Ember nodded before she followed Danny into the bus.
Taking a seat in the back the pair watched Caroline for the rest of the bus ride.
"So I have a question. What exactly made you want to change your name. Other then your last name." Danny asked. Ember sighed.
"Well. Mainly because so many other musicians did. Freddie Mercury, Elton John, Stevie wonder, Bob Dylan too. I just thought that they were all so cool. So when I was 12 I made a list of names that I could change my name to. Number 1 on my list was Ember Mclain." Ember said.
"So when you died. You took the chance and changed yourself." Danny said.
"Exactly. It was a second chance to be able to do what I want. So I changed my name, changed my look, and put every part of my ghost powers to use to become what I've always wanted. Along the way I thought of the brilliant idea of a youth revolution and how if I conquered the world everyone would hear my music. I just thought it would be amazing to have a crowd of fans all of whom were cheering my name. Ember, ember, ember!" She said with a smile.
"I understand. You wanted a chance to achieve your dream. Who wouldn't do what you did if they were in your position." Danny said. Ember looked at him.
"Thanks for understanding." She said.
"Your welcome." Danny said. He looked back at caroline and saw her check her watch again. Danny frowned. "Do you see that?" Danny asked.
"What?" Ember asked.
"That's like the 13th time she's checked her watch." Danny said. Ember looked at caroline and watched her. Then several minutes later she checked her watch again. "What is she so worried about that she's checking her watch every minute or two."
"Maybe She has work in the morning and needs as much sleep as she can get?" Ember asked.
"No. I don't think that's it. Let's just be ready to go when she leaves." Danny said. After about 30 more minutes on the bus caroline finally got off the bus after picking up the girls who were now asleep. Following her while invisible. She then walked through the suburbs of Detroit until she came up to a nice little two story house. Then as quietly as possible she went inside.
Danny and ember followed her inside. They found her putting the girls down in their room on the first floor. Then quietly she tried to retreat to her room. However the light for the room flipped on, causing Caroline to catch her breath in fear.
"What are you doing back here so late!" A man said. Danny and ember looked to see a man in his late twenties. He wore a wife beater and some blue jeans.
"I-i-i w-was just taking the girls out for their b-b-birthday!" Caroline stuttered. She backed against the wall.
"No, you were trying to leave me!" He yelled and moved to her. He then slapped Caroline across the face. Hard enough to send her to the floor. He then grabbed her. "You were trying to leave weren't you!" He yelled. She denied it. So he started beating her. As ember saw this she started to get angry, but Danny stopped her.
"We can't expose ourselves. We do that who knows what we will do to the timeline. We need a plan that will not do anything really big like expose the existence of ghosts." Danny whispered. Ember understood what he was saying, but she felt horrible not stopping this man. They heard a door open and looked to see the girls. The man saw them and got up to move to them. This didn't go well with Caroline.
"No! No! Micheal! Don't hurt them!" She said. She grabbed his pants and he smacked her hard. The girls screamed before closing the door again. Micheal then went to the door. Quickly acting Danny went to the other side and locked it so he couldn't get in. He couldn't help Caroline at the moment, but he could make sure he didn't get to the children. The girls had ran back to their beds so they didn't see Danny lock the door. Danny heard Micheal hell in frustration before he heard sounds of him hitting Caroline again. Danny went back outside and found ember outside with her hair burning with rage.
"Ember." Danny called. Ember didn't hear him.
"Micheal! It had to be MICHEAL!!!!" She yelled. Danny looked at her.
"Who is Micheal?" Danny asked. Ember looked at him for a second.
"You saw what I looked like alive. So you know I wasn't really popular in school. Well at one point in school a new kid showed up." She started to explain.
"Micheal." Danny said.
"Yeah. Micheal. Anyways he was really good looking. So the popular crowd got to him first. They must have gotten to him before school because he was never seen with them at school. He acted like the school saint getting in close with all the nerds, misfits, and outcasts. Well I made the mistake of having a crush on him. I even confessed to him, in an awkward sort of way. It was then that the popular kids made their move. They got him to take me out on a date. Well during it they splashed me with gas ending up soaking wet in it." She said.
"Is that how you died of being burned to death?!" Danny asked horrified. Ember was shocked by the question.
"What no! I died weeks later. That was just humiliation. After that I tried to tell everyone that he was tricking them but no one believed me. I died by accident a few weeks later." Ember said. She then got angry again which was evident by her hair flaring up. "Now then. What's your plan to get back at Micheal?" Ember asked. Danny smirked at the question.
Back inside
Micheal had finished beating Caroline who now had a black eye. "You will never leave me! You hear me? I do all kinds of shit for you! I work for the biggest drug dealer in Detroit! I kill assholes, I deliver drugs to some of the worst people, and I make sure everything goes smoothly! All for you! The least you can do is stay here and keep this house clean you bitch!" He then grabbed her by her shirt and lifted her up. "Now go up stairs to our room! Before I knock your ass out!" He said. Shaking Caroline got up and went up the stairs to their room. After she was gone Micheal went past the stairs to the back of the house. Opening a door he came into a office like room that had a lot of shit in it. The room had no windows. That way he could keep people from looking through and seeing everything inside. The lighting for the room was a single lightbulb hanging from the ceiling. As he sat down he pulled out a bag of weed. Lighting it he went to smoke it but then someone knocked on the door. He got angry. "What did I tell you?!" He yelled. He opened the door to find the hall way to the door empty. Confused he looked down the hall way but no one's head poked out. So he went back in the room and slammed it shut. He then turned around to see who he thought was Caroline by the other wall. Her body and hair looked the same. "Caroline! What did I tell you about coming in her!" He yelled. He stomped forward and went to grab her but missed as she sidestepped and kicked him to the ground. He hit the ground and hissed in pain. He then glared at her. "I went easy on you caroline. But now. Im gonna kill you in front of your precious little girls!" He said.
"Who said I was caroline?" Ember asked as she stepped into the light. Revealing ember in her ghost form. Her pale blue skin, the make up around her eyes, her fiery blue hair, and he punk rock outfit.
"What the hell?" Micheal said confused. Ember stepped forward.
"How are you Micheal? It's been a while." Ember said.
"Who are you?! And why do you look like caroline!?" He asked.
"Less talking. More burning!" Ember said. She then started to play her guitar as her hair started to burn brightly.
'I was made for loving you'
Instrumental starts playing
Micheal moved back and went to the door. Grabbing the handle though he burned his hand. Screaming he let go and clutched his wrist not daring to touch the burn. Then looking at the door he started to slam into it. On his fifth try he finally broke the door open. On the other side Micheal found the entire house was set ablaze. He heard cries and went down the hall. Coming out into the living room he saw Caroline go out the back while carrying the girls. He ran for the open door but it slammed closed before he could reach it. He looked around frantically as the music got louder. He looked around at the windows but as he did an explosion happened in front of each of them blocking the windows. He turned to the stairs hoping he could get out through windows on the second floor. But ember was in his way. He looked at her. Then ran at her, he tried to punch her. He missed as she side stepped him again. She smiled wickedly before she danced to the music in her own way. Moving her hips back and forth to the beat, throwing her hair around, spinning herself in circles, moving her guitar to cords. All the while dodging all of Micheals punches and kicks. As she was reaching the climax of the song she stood in one place. Micheal smiled as she was now staying still allowing him to hit her. So he threw one more haymaker right at her face, but he hit nothing. His fist went right through her as if she wasn't even there. Shocked he looked at her. She just smiled maliciously. Micheal started to back up away from her. As ember got closer and closer to the climax a circle of fire surrounded her. As she played her guitar at the climax the fire through out the house began to rage even more. Micheal looked all around the house in horror as the fire was reacting to ember. Playing one more powerful cord she sent a wave of energy to Micheal hitting him and throwing him against the wall. She then stopped playing her guitar but the music didn't stop.
"Who are you!?" Micheal groaned. Ember just laughed. "What's so funny?!" He asked angrily.
"You look at my sister everyday, but you don't recognize me." Ember said. He looked confused. He then began to figure it out as he looked at embers face.
"No! No way! Katherine?!" He said in horror. He got up and moved to the side as ember got closer. "Your dead!" He yelled.
"That I am. But guess what. The afterlife is real. Well. Kind of. Let's just say after I burned to death I found myself in another plane of existence as a ghost. I come back to have some fun, only to find you married to my sister and beating her." Ember said.
"Listen... l-look, I'm sorry I killed you ok. But my boss. He made me! You over heard our plans and he ordered me to kill you!" Micheal said scared of ember. Ember stopped walking to him. Now she was just staring at him wide eyed.
"What?" She asked.
"You came to my house! After me and the other kids soaked you in gas, you came to my house and at the same time my group of friends who worked with me under the biggest drug lord of Detroit were there. We had been talking about of drug trafficking when we heard you outside. When we went outside we caught a glimpse of your hair and could smell the gas that you were soaked in." Micheal explained.
"Your the one who burned me alive in my house?!" Ember yelled in rage. Her hair burning even larger. Micheal then realized she had never known what he just said.
"Wait! Wait! If you didn't know about that! Then who was it that spied on us?!" Micheal said. Remembering when he and the other popular kids from school were driving by to laugh at Catherine. He saw caroline holding Catherine as Catherine cried and was still soaked in the gas. "It was Caroline?" He said confused.
"You killed me!!!!!" Ember screamed.
"Wait! Wait! It was a mistake! It should have been caroline!" Micheal said in fear.
"I don't care!!! You were the one who killed me all those years ago!!!!!" Ember said. Ember grabbed her guitar and played a power cord. Sending a shock wave at Micheal. It hit him hard enough that he flew into the kitchen. Getting up he used a towel to open the knife drawer. Grabbing one of the knifes with a wooden handle. Ember walked to the kitchen. Upon entry Micheal slashes at her with the knife. As it passed through ember, her rage fueled her pyrokinesis which made her body burn at extreme temperatures. This caused the knife to melt as it passed through her. Seeing the knife melt he dropped the handle and ran to the back door and slammed against it. "You want out? Fine!" Ember said before playing another power cord. This one was so strong it blew out the wall in an explosion of fire. Caroline and the girls screamed from the far back as they saw the explosion. Luckily nothing reached them from the very back of the yard. Micheal was lying on the door now. Ember walked to him as her hair bathed the back yard in a blue light. Once she made it to Micheal she grabbed him by his neck and lifted him up in the air. He started choking.
"Wait!" He choked out.
"There's been enough waiting. It's time I got revenge!" Ember said before throwing him back towards the burning building. She pulled off the guitar and held it like a battle axe. As she held it like this Caroline got a clear look at the guitar. As she saw it. She immediately recognized it as it was exactly like Catherine's old guitar that burned up during the same fire that killed her.
"Catherine." Caroline whispered. Ember raised the guitar over her head when suddenly out of nowhere a burst of green fire appeared all around her and Micheal. Distracting her, Danny came out of the ground in between them in his ghost form. Ember looked at him in time to see him grab her right arm and throw it down to her side. Stopping her attack.
"What are you doing! Why save this scumbag!?" Ember asked.
"I'm stopping you from doing something you'll regret." Danny said.
"I'm not gonna regret this!" Ember said angrily.
"Right now. No. But later on. You will. I'm not the protector of humanity anymore like I used to be, but that doesn't mean I can't protect you from yourself. This path is not a safe one. This path will lead you to many different things. Not many of them good. It will also lead you away from me. You do this there is no turning back. Now decide. Me or your vengeance." Danny said. Ember gripped her guitar angrily. Looking at Danny for a second before looking at the cowering Micheal. She gritted her teeth, growled angrily, and clenched her fist around her guitar. Then... she tossed it aside.
"Fine. I won't kill the son of a bitch." Ember said. Micheal began to sigh in relief. Before he looked to Danny. He grabbed Danny's leg.
"Thank you." He said with a smile. As he held Danny's leg he suddenly felt like his hands were frozen. He screamed in pain and went back. His hands appeared fine but they felt so cold. Danny then looked at him menacingly. "I thought you said you would let me go!?" Micheal asked.
"When did I ever say that." Danny said. As Micheal started backing up Danny moved forward. "I was just stopping Ember from killing you. Now it's time to pay for your sins." Danny said. He reached down and grabbed Micheal by his shirt and pulled him up. Danny then looked him in the eyes. For a brief second Danny's eyes glowed purple, then micheals eyes glowed purple. At that time Micheal began to see himself with a gun aiming down at someone he had shot down earlier today. The illusion Micheal pulled the trigger, shooting the guy right in the heart. As the bullet hit the man Micheal felt something tear through his heart. He clutched it as he felt the pain. Then he saw another person, but this person Micheal hadn't killed but beaten. He had beaten this person within an inch of death putting them in the hospital. He felt every punch he had dealt. As time went on more and more of these showed up. He felt every bullet he ever used to kill and every punch he had ever given against anyone and everyone. To make it worse the pain never disappeared, the feeling of every bullet, every punch, every cut, and every broken bone stayed with him. But the bruises and bullet holes never became real. As Micheal felt all this pain he could see the face of each and every one of his victims. After seeing each victim he saw another one that happened before the last. As he felt the pain he cried out.
"It hurts!" He said. As he said this he saw the time he broke someone's arm. He screamed. "Please! Please make it stop!" He yelled. Danny made no move to stop it. "IT HURTS!!!!!!" He screamed. Continuing to cry out in pain and scream for help he was finally reaching the one Danny was waiting for. Finally Micheal was watching the scene of Catherine clutterbuck burning in her own house. As Micheal felt the fire burning his skin he yelled loudly. "AAAAHHHH!!!!!!! IT BURNS!!!" Danny then grabbed Micheal by the face causing the fake burns to hurt worse.
"Look at me. LOOK AT ME!" Danny yelled getting Micheal to focus on him. "Now you almost know how every one of your victims has felt." Danny said.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!" Micheal yelled.
"You don't know how it feels to know fear like they did." Danny said. Danny then used the same black powder he had used before against the thugs in New York. Micheal closed his eyes. When he opened them. He no longer saw Danny standing before him. Instead he saw a giant pale ghost with white flaming hair, red piercing eyes, a long billowing cape, and fanged smile to go with his horrid laugh. This was not Danny phantom, but Dark Dan. Dan then flew at Micheal evilly. As Micheal saw this he screamed. Then a new pain came from his heart. Clutching chest and feeling a wave of dizziness, Micheal fell to his knees. Beads of sweat started coming down his skin like bullets. He then fell on his side. As he laid down he felt as if he had no energy. The most he could do was turn onto his back. He was panting as he was finding trouble breathing. He kept his eyes wide open, waiting for that horrible monster to show up, but it never did. Finally he heard walking.
"Oh. Now this is no fun. Dying of a heart attack before the illusion of your worst fear could begin. How boring." Dan Said. Was that what this was? Micheal didn't have time to question if what he was feeling was a heart attack as he drifted off.
Back in reality. Micheal was the ground in the lawn. Dead from the heart attack.
"Is he dead?" Ember asked with no remorse.
"The pain of feeling every injury he ever inflicted added on to his fear caused his heart to just give out... so yes. He's dead." Danny said.
"Good riddance." Ember said. She then thought of something. "Wait? Aren't you on the dark and narrow path now? The same one you told me not to go down?" Ember asked. Danny smiled.
"I honestly only said that so you wouldn't kill him so I could." Danny said.
"What?!" Ember said angry.
"I just didn't want to see you fall down to his level." Danny said. He then brushed some of ember hair that had gotten in her face off to the side. "Your much to pretty to fall to his level." Danny said. Ember huffed and crossed her arms.
"Of course I'm pretty." She said. The green fire surrounding Danny and ember died down. Ember then looked at the house. "Let's go." Ember said. She grabbed Danny's hand and they started flying. Caroline however wasn't ready to let them go.
"Catherine!" Caroline called. Ember flinched stopping just above the first floor.
"Uh... sorry but there are no Catherine's here to my knowledge." Ember said. Caroline frowned.
"Ember McLain?" Caroline prodded. Danny smiled at ember.
"Shit. You still remember that list?" Ember asked. Caroline chuckled.
"I keep it in the basement in a lock box along with some other stuff of yours." Caroline said. Ember turned around to look at her sister. Caroline looked at ember. "What happened? How are you here when we buried you?" Caroline asked.
"Let's just say I after I died I found myself floating around a place we call the ghost zone." Ember said.
"How'd you find me?" Caroline asked.
"After getting out of the ghost zone for a bit and finding ourselves here, I thought I'd enjoy the KISS concert that happened. While there we saw you. We followed you. Then when we saw what happened. Thought we would help you out and get him to stop beating on you. Didn't think it would be like this." Ember explained. Caroline just looked at ember before her tears started to fall.
"I'm sorry. It's my fault your dead. I was the one who was at micheals house that night after you were humiliated." Caroline said. She started to cry. "I'm just so sorry." She said tearfully.
"It's not your fault Caroline. Besides. The afterlife I've seen is way sweeter then any rock n roll album." Ember said with a smirk. Caroline laughed at that. Just then she felt her two little girls hug her.
"Mommy please stop crying." Said one of them.
"This is a good kind of crying." She said while still crying, but also smiling. She looked at ember.
"What are their names?" Ember asked. This got caroline to smile bigger.
"Catherine and ember." She said happily.
"Asshole. Stole my names!" Ember said crossing her arms.
"Didn't ever think you'd come back from the grave. Stubborn ass." Caroline said still smiling. Caroline and ember looked at each other before laughing. "Just like old times."
"When I was alive and you were... young." Ember said.
"Are you calling me old!?" Caroline said still having a smile.
"If the shoe fits!" Ember said.
"Were the same age!" Caroline argues.
"Yeah but my body is at about 18." Ember said. Caroline could only laugh.
"That's only 6 years younger then me!" She said. Ember simply stuck her tongue out at her sister. Just then sirens could be heard over the sound of the fire burning.
"We need to go. Before that though. If you look inside the basement. You'll find some files that could be of some help." Danny said. Danny and ember went to leave, but Caroline stopped them again.
"Wait! Will I see you again?" Caroline asked ember. Ember looked at her sister.
"I don't know. I hope so, but... technically at this moment I haven't really been resurrected as a ghost yet. I'm only here through the magic of time travel." Ember said.
"Time travel? Seriously?" Caroline asked.
"Oh yeah. Every 80s kids dream." Ember said. Caroline could only shake her head and believe her.
"Good bye!" The twins Catherine and ember said. Ember turned to them.
"Rock on little ladies!" Ember said before flying away. Once they were high enough in the night sky they turned and watched the firefighters and police arrive at the house. As they floated there watching, Danny put an arm around ember. She raised an eyebrow and looked at him. Danny looked at her with a cocky smile. She sighed and rolled her eyes, but smiled at the same time. As they watched the scene play out everything began to fade away and was replaced by clockworks lair. The two looked around. When ember turned around she came face to face with puppy form Cujo. Screaming, ember jumped back and put Danny in between her and Cujo.
"Afraid of dogs. Huh?" Desiree asked with a smile.
"I'm gonna kill you!" She said. Then saw Cujo again. "Once that mongrel is gone." She said. Danny chuckled. Danny then looked at clockwork.
"Everything go like you expected?" Danny asked.
"Perfectly." He said with his usual smug grin. Ember looked at clockwork.
"What would have happened if we didn't do that?" Ember asked. She looked like she was expecting bad news.
"Let us just say. They would not have received a happy ending." Clockwork answered with a sad expression. Ember looked down.
"What about now?" She asked. This got the ghost of time to smile again.
"Now everyone is happy. I must say Daniel. Of all the possibilities I saw. I was not expecting the one you did." Clockwork said. Ember looked at Danny confused.
"What did you do?" She asked. Danny smiled.
"I might have used my powers to create some documents that said if Micheal died a large sum of money would be sent to his grieving wife for life insurance." Danny said.
"What?! You were planning to kill him the whole time?!" Ember said shocked.
"Sort of. After you explained your history I thought he might have been the one to kill you. So I used my telepathy and learned that he did do it. That was when I started planning to kill him." Danny said.
"But what about your rules, and laws. Your a hero. How could you have just planned to murder someone?" Ember asked confused and worried. Danny looked up.
"Honestly. I'm never one to just murder someone. But I found no other way that time. I knew after looking in his mind that was the only solution. Even if he survived my vengeance gaze. He wouldn't have changed. In fact he would have just become even more bitter and been even harder of your sister. So to save her and anyone else from his wrath I did the one thing I could think of." Danny explained.
"You killed him... to save my sister?" Ember asked.
"Of course. I know what it's like to have a sister. Jazz may not be my twin but she's still my sister. I love my sister. She's the best family I have." Danny said. Ember smiled then hugged Danny.
"Thank you." She said.
"Anytime." Danny said as he hugged her back.
