Danny and Jazz walked out into the bright sunlight laughing and talking excitedly about the movie. "And when he ran his sword through the tree, that was so cool!" Danny said.

"And he looked so cute," Jazz said in a semi-dreamy voice.

"What?"

"N-nothing," Jazz said quickly.

"So now what?" Danny asked.

"Well, we should return to the hotel," Jazz said.

"Yeah, I thought that's what you'd say," Danny said.

"But, we don't have to," Jazz added.

Danny gave her a wide grin.

"Want to go exploring?" she asked.

"You bet," Danny said. For once the day actually seemed like it was going his way. Nothing could mess up his vacation.

"Look out!" someone cried and a giant robot came out of nowhere and started to attack the nearest building.

"Except that," Danny muttered.

"Danny! I uhhh," Jazz scrambled around her brain desperately searching for a good excuse to leave her brother alone. "I'm going to go call mom and dad. You stay right here!" she said.

Danny blinked. "O-oh, all right," he said.

Jazz ran off and Danny watched her retreating form. "I am so gonna be busted for this," he muttered and ducked into an abandoned alley way. He transformed and flew out to face the robot that was randomly destroying whatever it seemed to come across.

"Hey!" Danny yelled at the robot. It turned its large 'head' towards him and lifted an arm to try and knock him down. Danny went intangible and the arm went right though him. The ectoplasmic shield was not around this robot and as Danny destroyed it he vaguely wondered why. It collapsed on its self and Danny flew up to see if there were any other robots.

"Phantom!" he heard his name called in the distance. He whirled around to see who was calling him. "Phantom!" he heard it again and saw Raven flying towards him. He flew towards her and they met in the middle.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"Another attack, that's what. Only this time the robots are stealing money from the bank," she said.

"Why?" Danny asked.

Raven shook her head, "I don't know. Phantom, they have the ectoplasmic shields up again, we need your help."

Danny nodded, "Of course, where are they?"

"Follow me, I only hope we're not too late," she said and flew off in the distance.

Danny followed her and silently hoped the same thing.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Look!" Beast Boy shouted and pointed up to where Raven and Danny were making a fast decent down to where the robots were.

"Hey, Raven found him!" Cyborg cheered.

Robin nodded, "Good," he said. When Danny got in earshot he started to give orders. "Cyborg, Phantom, I want you two to do the same thing you did last time. Everyone else, protect the bank at all costs!"

Danny pulled up next to Cyborg, "W-wait, what?" he asked feeling a little rushed.

Cyborg put a massive hand on Danny's shoulder. "Just aim at them and knock out the shields. Like last time, remember?" he asked calmly.

Danny breathed out and relaxed. "Yeah, I remember, okay." He narrowed his eyes and they glowed a dangerous green that Cyborg has never seen before, "Let's get this over with." He took careful aim and hit two of the robots with twin shots, then he aimed another one so he took down one robot and Cyborg took down another.

"Do you need to be somewhere?" Cyborg asked good naturedly.

"Actually," Danny said laughing a little while aiming again. "Yeah, my sister ran off and I took the opening. But if she learns that I ran off," Danny paused and shielded them from a piece of flying debris. "Let's just say, it won't be pretty."

"Ah," Cyborg said knowingly. "Gotcha. Well, we'll have to make the best of it, at least they're not running off this time," he added.

"Maybe because they actually have a reason behind their attack this time," Danny said. He shot another blast and Cyborg took down the next robot with ease. "I mean, they are stealing money."

"But why?" Cyborg asked.

Robin landed behind them. "Wouldn't we like to know," he smiled without humor. "Just concentrate on getting them out of here; we can at least save what is left of the bank."

Danny and Cyborg nodded and they finished the battle in silence.

When it was over the bank did loose over $10,000 but it wasn't bad considering what could have happened if Danny had never shown up. Never the less Danny still felt the loss.

"Hey," Cyborg said. "You can't win them all, and you can't beat yourself up over it either. You win some, you loose some, and this time, we really didn't do either. Besides, this is THE bank of Jump City, they'll recover."

"Really?" Danny asked.

"Yeah, they'll complain about it for a few months but fact of the matter is, they're robbed like every other month," Cyborg said with a touch of humor.

Beast Boy popped seemingly out of nowhere. "You got that right; it's like evil guy fund central."

Robin's eyes widened. "Beast Boy, say that again," he said.

"What? All I said was the bank is 'evil guy fund central,' Beast Boy said in a puzzled voice.

Robin slapped himself on the forehead. "Of course!" he said.

"What did I say?" Beast Boy wondered out loud.

"Oh!" Cyborg said, "I get it."

"Get what!" Beast Boy yelled.

"Of course!" Raven said, "That's why they attacked."

Beast Boy was beside himself. "What did I SAY?"

"It must be very expensive to keep on building robots," Starfire said. "They must need more money for new parts."

"I guess the inventions aren't enough," Danny mused.

Beast Boy's eyes widened. "Oooooooohhh," he said.

"Slow today, aren't ya," Raven asked.

"No," Beast Boy muttered. "Just… thought process impaired."

Raven rolled her eyes and Starfire giggled. "That's the spirit BB," Cyborg laughed.

"Be quiet," Beast Boy said sulkily.

Danny smiled and then his cell phone rang. He looked at the number and his green eyes widened. "Oh no," he muttered.

"What's wrong, Phantom?" Robin asked.

"My sister, Jazz. I uhhh… well I told her I would stay put and I didn't…" Danny sighed. "Anyways, I gotta go."

"Phantom, wait!" Robin said.

Danny paused in mid air, then he floated back down to earth to stand in front of Robin. "Yes?"

Robin held out a Titan's communicator to Danny. "Take this," he said. "I want you to be within a call's distance next time there's an attack."

Danny looked at the small device with wide eyes. "Me?" he squeaked.

Robin nodded. "You've earned it. Welcome to the Titans, Phantom."

Danny picked up the communicator. "I… I don't know what to say."

"Just say you'll be there when we call," Robin said. The other Titans nodded.

Danny looked at the device. "Ummm… this may sound weird, but can you use this to track me?"

Cyborg laughed, "You are the most paranoid person I know Phantom."

Danny smiled wryly, "Well can you blame me?" he asked.

Robin shook his head. "Don't worry, we'll only call you if it's an emergence and you can put it on vibrate so your parents and sister won't find out."

Danny smiled and put the communicator in his invisible pocket. "All right, I look forward to the next call."

"Yay, new friend Phantom!" Starfire hugged Danny tightly. Danny didn't phase though her embrace this time and she gave him and extra squeeze.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The next morning at Titans Tower they were enjoying a much needed break.

"So, what do you want to do today? Assuming we have no giant robot attacks," Cyborg said.

"I don't know," Beast Boy said looking at Cyborg from his upside down position on the couch. "What do you want to do?"

"Wanna hit the arcade?" Cyborg asked.

"Totally!" Beast Boy said happily.

"Oh, the mall?" Starfire appeared in the room almost instantly. "May I come?"

Cyborg laughed, "Sure, Star."

"Yay!"

Robin looked up from the newspaper. "That actually sounds like a good idea. Why don't we all go?"

"No thanks," Raven said.

Starfire was on her in an instant with big tear filled green eyes. "Will you not come with us, friend Raven?"

Raven smiled nervously and Starfire's eyes got bigger. Raven sighed, "Oh all right."

"Yay! Everyone is going to the mall!" Starfire cheered and flew down to the car.

Robin smiled, "She's hyper this morning."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Hey Danny, wanna hit the mall?" Jazz asked.

Danny looked at his parents' room and saw that they were snoring the morning away. The week long convention was certainly taking its toll. "Sure," he said.

Jazz held up her rental car keys. "All right, let's hit the road."

"No Fenton RV?" Danny asked with a laugh.

Jazz shook her head. "Mom's paying for it anyway."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Danny and Jazz split off rather early and Danny headed to the arcade while Jazz went to the third floor for some serious shopping. They agreed to meet up in the food court for lunch.

Danny walked quickly from the arcade around 11:30 but he was so intent on not being late that he didn't see someone walking towards him until it was too late. He crashed into someone carrying an insane amount of shopping bags and fell to the ground.

"Oh, I'm sorry," he said and started to help the person gather her things.

Starfire fancied that she heard Phantom's voice but when she looked at who had knocked her over she saw a teenage boy with light blue eyes and black hair. He was dressed in a simple white and red t-shirt and a pair of jeans. "Oh, it is perfectly fine. I'm sorry I went so fast," she said.

Danny held out some shopping bags for her and she took them gratefully. Danny soon saw that she had no hope of carrying all the bags on her own. "Ummm, do you want some help?" he asked.

Starfire nodded a bit sheepishly. "I would be very grateful for your help."

Danny picked up some bags and helped her carry them out to the car.

"Yo, Star, will you pick it up!" Cyborg yelled.

"I am very sorry, I fear I got too many things," she said.

Danny set the bags down by the car and laughed. "You're no worse then my sister," he said.

The other Titans took in the new comer. Danny waved sheepishly. "Hi," he said.

"What's your name?" Cyborg asked.

"Danny," Danny said.

"Thank you very much, friend Danny, for helping me," Starfire said.

Danny opened his mouth to reply but was interrupted by his cell phone. He opened it and Jazz's voice came through quite clearly. "Where are you? Can you ever be on time?" she asked.

"No?" Danny asked.

Jazz sighed, "Just get here so we can eat."

Danny laughed, "Go ahead and get the food, you know what I like."

"Oh, you trust me?" Jazz asked.

"You wouldn't dare," Danny said.

"Not yet," Jazz muttered. "Try my patience again and we'll see."

Danny almost stuck his tongue out at his cell phone. He swallowed the reflex just in time and said, "Just get it Jazz," he sighed and hung up.

Robin's eyes widened. "Jazz," he whispered.

Danny smiled and put his cell phone back in his pocket. "Yeah, Jazz is my older sister," he said. Then he pulled out his Titan's communicator and showed the other Titan's smiling. They all looked at the small device then they looked at Danny's face with a stunned expression. He let his eyes glow a bright green for a second then said, "I'm not as paranoid as you may think. Can you keep a secret?"

Robin smiled, "Of course."

Danny put the communicator back in his pocket. "Okay, I'm counting on you," he said and ran across the parking lot. "See ya!" he waved and went back into the mall before Jazz could order him something gross like one of the so called Nasty Burger 'salads' which everyone knew weren't salads but radioactive waste.

Raven actually smiled, "He's come a long way since we first met him."

Beast Boy laughed, "Wow, I'd love to see him transform, he looks so different!"

"I'll say," Cyborg whistled. "I would have never guessed."

"You knew as soon as we came out, did you not?" Starfire muttered to Robin.

Robin smiled, "Let's just say I formed an educated guess. I'm glad he told us on his own though."

"Yes, I feel honored that he has so much trust in us," Starfire said.

Robin nodded, "Yes, now we need to make sure we keep that trust. That's what all friendships are based on. And this is an important friendship."

Starfire nodded happily, "Yes, it is."

Cyborg honked the horn, "Yo, are you two ever getting in?"

Starfire flew into her seat and Robin came in next to her. A nice relaxing day, for once.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A figure hunched over their computer, "Just one more day. Then I can reveal to the world what kind of monster you really are," the voice whispered. "You ruined my life, now I'll ruin yours, Vlad Masters."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

New Chappie! It's plot device time, whoooo! R and R if you want more :3
