Danny flew into his room and transformed back to his human self. Second later the doorknob to hid room turned and his parents walked in. "Mom," said Danny a little surprised.
Danny's mom smiled, "Oh, there you are!"
"You couldn't find me?" asked Danny nervously, while still trying to sound nonchalant about it.
Maddie shook her head, "Don't be silly, we just got back from the convention."
"Did you have fun?" Danny asked, latching onto the subject change like it was a life support.
"Of course we did," said Jack. "Those people loved the Fenton finder!"
"Ah it's nice to be appreciated for the work we do," said Maddie.
Danny felt a little twinge of guilt for some unknown reason, "Oh that's great," he said with fake gusto.
"Why thank you, Danny," Maddie said. "Now where is your sister?" she asked.
Danny remembered the note, "Oh Jazz went shopping. She should be back any minute now."
Maddie nodded, pleased. "Very good. Well you two have show that you are responsible. When your sister gets back you can tell her that you two are free to go where ever you want."
"Yes!"said Danny while pumping his fist into the air.
Jack look a little put out but didn't say anything.
Maddie took her husband's hand and led the sulking mass into their room. "We're going to bed because the convention starts backup at 6. I'll leave you guys some money for food. Night!" she said and shut the door.
Danny sighed happily and flopped on his bed. He started to drift off to sleep but before he could completely submit to the blanket that sleep had wrapped over him Jazz came into the room. Danny sat up and saw Jazz struggle into the room with three enormous shopping bags.
"Jeez Jazz, did you spend all your money already?" he asked.
Jazz's eyes sparkled, "No! I swear this town has the best deals ever! I got three shirts and a pair of jeans for under $30," she said very fast.
"Ooookay, I'm filing Jazz under must avoid," Danny said.
Jazz snapped out of her shopping high and said, "Ha ha," sarcastically.
Danny shrugged and stood up grabbing his pajamas from his duffel bag. He went to the bathroom to take his shower but before he closed the door he said, "By the way, mom and dad said we don't have to go with them tomorrow."
"Yes!" Jazz said loudly.
In their parents' room Jack groaned. "I think we have a cool job," he said.
"Shhhh," said Maddie sleepily, "We do, now go back to sleep."
Jack sighed and turned over on his side. Yes they had a very cool job.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Danny woke up the next morning to sunlight steaming through the curtains. He groaned and flipped over but Jazz took the opening and shook Danny fully awake.
"Jazz, leave me alone," he groaned.
"Come on now, its 10:24 already," Jazz said.
Danny sat up and rubbed his eyes. "I thought we were on vacation," he said.
Jazz rolled her eyes, "Danny, get up," she said.
Danny got out of bed and went over to the bathroom to get dressed. He sighed and vaguely wondered about a faint tingling that seemed to crawl over his skin. Jazz knocked on the door, "Danny I'm going shopping. Do you want to come with me?"
"No,
Danny said.
"Fine, your loss. Say we meet up back here at 5 for dinner?" Mom and dad said they won't be back until tomorrow. Some kind of all night contest thing," she said.
"Sounds good to me," said Danny, his mouth full of toothpaste.
"Okay, see you then," Danny heard the door click and he knew that Jazz had left.
Danny exited the bathroom and flipped on the TV. He flopped onto his still unmade bed and started to channel surf.
"Sitcom, reality, reality, cartoon, movie, reality, documentary, reality," he said in a bored voice as each channel showed what was on.
He kept on flipping until he saw Cyborg on TV. He flipped two channels past it before he realized what he saw, then he flipped back and watched the breaking news story.
"Here we see the Titans once again fighting for our city. Robots similar to yesterdays attack are attempting to destroy the landmark of Jump National Building. This building is one of the tallest buildings in the world with over 10,000 offices. I have been told people are still being evacuated from the building as it's being destroyed," said the news caster.
Danny dropped the remote in shock; the robots were back. And they all had a greenish haze around them that Danny recognized instantly. "Ectoplasmic shields," he whispered.
"The Titans appear to be loosing, while more and more innocent civilians are trying to escape. Can they save everyone? Only time will tell. Back to you Bob," she said.
"Thanks for the glowing report Polly," said the news anchor in a hesitant tone.
Danny shut off the TV and his eyes glowed green. "Not fair," he hissed. "I hate my conscience!" and with that he went ghost and flew out the window.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Starfire threw a barrage of starbolts at the robot and ducked as they came flying back at her. "I do not think this plan it working very well!" she yelled.
"Star, head down!" Robin yelled.
Starfire squeaked as a fiery blast was hurled towards her by a robot. She flew above it and found another one headed her way. She dodged that one as well but was caught by a third in the chest. She plummeted like a stone and landed with a sickening crash in the shrubbery surrounding the office building.
"star!" Robin screamed.
"Robin, keep your head in the game," Cyborg warned.
Robin sighed and sliced through an energy blast wit a birdarrang. They couldn't touch the robots and they were being viciously beaten back. He heard Beast Boy's cry as he went down and Robin made a crucial decision.
"Everyone, fall back!" he yelled.
The two remaining Titans fell back to where Robin was and together they went to their fallen comrades.
"Star," Robin helped her up, "Are you okay?"
Starfire rubbed her aching head, "I am, what you say, woozy?" she asked.
Robin gave her a weak smile, "As long as nothing is broken."
Starfire smiled back, "No, I do not think so."
"Speak for yourself," said Beast Boy. "I think everything is broken in my body."
The other three Titans came over to join Starfire and Robin in the protection of the shrubbery.
Cyborg smiled and slapped Beast Boy on the back, "Not anything broken in you."
Beast Boy squeaked as the pressure of Cyborg's heavy hand hit his already bruised body.
Their attention snapped back to the battle as they heard a scream. It came from a woman who was trying to exit the office building. She was caught in between a wall and the robot with no place to run. And even if she could she looked like she was too terrified to move anyway.
"No," said Robin. They were much to far away to save her and all they could do was watch helplessly as the robot bore down upon the poor woman. She screamed but just like that she was gone.
"No!" he screamed.
"Relax lady!" they heard a voice and above them Phantom appeared holding the woman who was struggling in hi grip. "I'm trying to save you."
"Let me go! I know who you are, you're…"
"Phantom!" Cyborg cut in. "Dude, you showed up. Are you okay?" he asked in a friendly tone as an explosion sounded behind him.
Danny floated down and set the woman on her own feet. "I'm fine, that robot almost got me though," he said shakily.
Robin put a hand on his shoulder, "You did the right thing, Phantom. Thanks," he said and got a smile from Danny in response.
"Y-you are not bad?" the woman pointed at Danny with shaking.
Danny smiled, "Nope, I'm just trying to do the right thing."
The woman blinked and another explosion sounded, but closer this time. "Lady, you should probably get out of here," said Beast Boy.
"O-oh, right," she cast one more uneasy glance at Danny and took off running down the street.
"Anyone else in there?" Danny motioned towards the building.
"Not that we know of. Thank god they attacked on a Saturday," said Cyborg.
Danny nodded, "What are they after?" he asked.
Cyborg shrugged, "I have no idea. They seem to just be tearing up the place. They haven't tried to steal anything, it seems they just want to tear up the place."
"That is so weird," said Danny.
"Don't we know it," said Beast Boy.
"Can you destroy them like in yesterday's battle?" asked Starfire.
Danny shook his head, "No, that's why I came. The shields that they have around them are Ectoplasmic Energy shields. Ghost matter, I can deactivate them with my Ectoplasmic energy blasts if someone can shoot fast enough to get through when the shield is down."
Cyborg patted his arm cannon. "I got ya covered there. Give me a clear shot and those things are dead!"
Robin nodded, "Okay, we have our plan. Now the rest of you I want of civilian duty. Look and rescue anyone in that building, friend for foe understand?"
Everyone nodded and Robin smiled. "Okay, Titans go!"
Danny felt strange working with a group after his whole career of working alone. "Ready Phantom?" Cyborg called.
Danny nodded, "Yes!"
They rounded on their first target and Danny shot out a steady stream of green energy. Just as he predicted the shield blinked and faltered leaving a one second window for Cyborg to blow the robot up.
"Easy as pie," he cheered.
Danny smiled, "Yeah, it is easy."
They went to the next robot and did the same to that one. Starfire flew overhead with a terrified looking secretary in her arms. "Good job, you two!" she called.
Danny and Cyborg nodded to acknowledge her and continued to destroy the robots. After they blew of five more the same thing happened that happened the previous fight. The robots flew up and left.
"Oh no you don't!" Cyborg yelled and called out to Danny, "Phantom blast them as they're leaving!"
Danny did so and they managed to fell three more together before they were out of range. "Cyborg, Phantom, fall back!" Robin yelled.
Danny flew down and landed beside Cyborg. "You two did a good job, but this fight is over."
Danny nodded and floated into the air. "Well now that that's over with I think I'll be going now."
Robin shook his head, "Phantom, will you please come back with us to the tower?"
"Ummm…" Danny looked a little uneasy.
"You seem to know a lot about how these robots are protecting themselves and we need that kind of expertise. You've saved us twice now, this isn't an enemy we can fight on our own," Robin said.
"Oh, I agree. It would be wonderful to have you with us new friend Phantom," said Starfire.
Danny laughed nervously. Truth be told he had never fought in anything quite so large to scale as this. He only fought enemies hand to hand, never on a team against many people at once. He did know how he might handle it. "I don't know…" he said.
Raven sighed and floated up to where he was hovering, "I agree with Robin. We need someone who knows what we are fighting."
Danny sighed and held up his hands in defeat, "Okay, where are we going?"
Robin pointed to a T-shaped tower in the distance. "Titans Tower," he answered.
