Museum Chase Part I

Sam crossed her arms with her legs crossed in her room. She was bored and there was nothing to do. She felt like being reckless and bad tonight. Lately she had been giving in to her more villainous side. She looked out the window. She needed to find a new hobby since she had quit her old one. Why save people when they probably deserved it anyway? Wasn't her problem. Why should she even care?

She walked out to her balcony and tapped her fingers on the rail. There just had to be something she could do tonight. Her eyes widened in excitement. She went back in her room, but left the doors to the balcony open. She went through some of the papers on her computer desk and took out a pamphlet smirking. It was the new exhibit to the museum. Archaeologists and scientist had found evidence that the phoenix might not be mythical at all and that some cultures worshipped it. They had many different artifacts.

She looked at one of the painting of a phoenix on the picture. It was such a magnificent creature. Burning up in flame when they died and then being reborn from the ashes of their death. That was where her name had come from. A burning death was a tragic one in her opinion, but the phoenix was given another chance to experience life. It was the same case with herself. She had died but from her dead body she had been born again and into a whole new person, given one more shot.

She smiled again. Maybe there would be some things worth taking. She smiled as she checked to make sure everyone was busy and wouldn't notice her disappearance. She found Aly asleep and Silver Moon working on a new invention. Perfect. She transformed and silently slipped into Aly's room grabbing the girl's guitar. She then went back to her balcony and got on the guitar an took off into the air.

Halfway to the museum, Toya appeared beside her. She looked at her a bit bothered that the girl had followed her although she wasn't as surprised as she should have been. As a matter of fact she wasn't surprised at all.

"What is it Toya?" she asked not even bothering to try and mask the annoyance in her voice.

"Where are you going Phoenix?" she asked

"To the museum." the teen replied simply.

"Why?"

"Because the museum has some things I want."

"Is the museum open this late?" Toya asked curiously

"No," Black Phoenix said. "But I want to get something from there."

"From the gift shop right?"

Black Phoenix sighed. "No," she said dryly. "I'm want a few of the things in the new phoenix exhibit."

"Their for sale too?" Toya asked confused. "Are you going to buy them."

"No, I'm going to take them."

Toya gasped. "That's stealing."

"And,"

"And I'm telling Danny." Toya challenged

Black Phoenix sent her a glare that told Toya she could make the girl's afterlife hell if she did that.

"Hump, no fair." Toya pouted

"Stay close and shut up." Black Phoenix said as they approached the museum.

They arrived at the museum in no time and silently slipped in from the roof. She tiptoed through the museum with Toya floating at her side and came across a security panel. She was sure it was connected to the main security source and sent a surge of black energy into it disabling the whole security system. She smiled as she walked freely in the museum.

"And here's my prize." she said looked at the exhibit that had been roped off. She gasped when she felt another presence and she grabbed Toya as she jumped up onto a shelf hidden in the shadows.

"My, my," Phoenix looked closely and her eyes narrowed. It was Sabrina. "Look at all these pretty jewels. Now which ones should I take."

Phoenix couldn't have cared less if Sabrina was there and decided to look at the things she wanted from within the shadows as she watched Sabrina and her two helpers pick and choose hat they wanted, most of which was what Phoenix wanted for herself.

"One more thing Emerald and Ruby." Sabrina said and her eyes laid on an all black sword around. The tilt was a carving of a black phoenix and the blade was like the tail and it curved like the bird was flying with a pointing tip. "Emerald, get that."

One of the twin reached silently through the glass case and grabbed the sword.

"Okay, that it." Sabrina decided. "Let's go."

Black Phoenix smiled cruelly and jumped from the shadows kicking Sabrina in the back making her drop the bag of priceless jewels and items.

"That's for doing the hard part for me Sabrina. I think I'll be taking these." Black Phoenix picked up the back and grabbed Toya jumping over Emerald and Ruby who had tried to block her way out.

You're not getting away with my jewels this time Phoenix." Sabrina said taking off after the Goth Girl who was running through the museum.

-.oOOo.-

It had been a week since the water incident and Sam got more and more... emotionless and uncaring was how Danny, Tucker, Aly and even Ember put it. The girl had turned into a stone cold- (insert word for female dog here). She just snapped for no reason at all. No one even dared to get within a five foot radius of her now. Even Ember back off with the girl gave her a glare that could have made the biggest and fearless of men wet their pants. The only exception was Danny. He was the only one she could have a civil conversation with without snapping and seeming bothered.

The next shocking thing was when she stopped her 'heroine ship' all together. It had started becoming less frequent and routine until it just stopped all together. Everyone including Jazz and Ember tried to encourage her to go back to her 'night job', but she just shrugged it off saying why save people who probably didn't deserve to be saved. This one scared everyone, Danny more so than any. She had sounded just like Celosia and he knew more than anything that she despised the woman, who she had recently found out was a family friend in real life and her dad's ex- girlfriend.

Sam had even let slip to Danny that she had watched a few fights and beatings and shooting not bothering to stop them. Normally Danny probably would have gave her a look that said if she was going to be his partner she would have to act like a hero even if she didn't want to be one (though he highly doubted she didn't and just covered it to keep up the villian act she had.), but he was so shocked that he could only stare at her in disbelief. He knew the girl was a bit sadistic when she wanted to be, but not that sadistic.

Danny sighed as he paced his room. He had been worried about his best friend and possibly more in the future when there wasn't so much burden on both their shoulders. He collapsed on his bed. Sam had been badly out of character for a whole week now and he had no clue what set it off.

"I have got to go talk to her." he decided getting up and going ghost before flying out the window.

He flew taking his time to get to the girl's house. When he was there he flew through her window and looked around the room. She wasn't there.

"Sam," he called out looking for the girl. He silently floated through the halls looking all around the house for her, but alas he couldn't find her. He decided not to disturb Silver Moon and ask where she was so he simply started to float his way invisible and intangible out the front door when the light clicked on.

"What are you doing here dork?"

Danny turned around to face a smirking Ember who had her arms crossed. The brown hair belonging to Aly had blue streaks in it and flare a bit like flame.

"What is it Ember?" he asked with a sighed. He really didn't feel like putting up with her remarks and insults.

"Nothing, just wondering why you're wondering the house as if you're looking for something." she replied leaning sideways against the wall.

"I'm looking for Sam." Danny said simply.

"Oh, your goth girlfriend." Ember stated before nodding her head upstairs with a slight frown. "She was in her room last I checked."

"Well she's not there now." Danny sighed in frustration. He really needed to talk to her.

"She isn't... well I didn't see her leave and since she doesn't practice heroine ship anymore I don't know what she went to do." Ember shrugged. "Not like it's my problem."

Ember went back upstairs and no sooner had Danny been about to take off did her hear her scream and come back out. She came through the door looking ready to murder.

"That be damned goth girl." She growled turning to Danny. "Dipstick, your girlfriend took my guitar."

"What am I supposed to do?" Danny asked bothered

"I'm going with you to find goth girl and then you can stop me from killing her if you want her to live long enough for you two to get engaged at least." Ember growled taking to the skies as Danny followed her.

-.oOOo.-

"Well, have you found her yet?" Ember asked Danny ten minutes later.

"No, and I checked every place in town just about. She's not in the shady part of the, no where near down town, she's not in the mall area, heck I even checked places I know she wouldn't be caught dead in."

"I couldn't find her either." Ember growled still upset that the goth girl had taken her guitar. Then she blinked. "What about the museum?"

"Why would she be there?" Danny asked. "To see the new exhibit?"

"I vaguely recall you all saying something about the museum having a new exhibit on mythical creature and things that suggest that the phoenix may not have been mythical. There was something about their being items and such that suggest that there were civilizations that worshipped the phoenix." Ember recalled

"What are you getting at Ember?"

"Didn't Aly say something about Goth Girl being a thief every now and again back in her home town?" Ember asked hoping that Danny would catch on.

Danny, much to Ember's annoyance, just gave her a confused look.

"Honestly dipstick, you really are stupid. Your girlfriend calls herself Black Phoenix and her attack seem to use the phoenix as their theme. The museum has a new exhibit about phoenixes. Isn't it a bit ironic that your girlfriend disappears on the night before the exhibit opens tomorrow, not to mention the fact that she likes to steal."

It finally clicked in Danny's head. His eyes flashed with anger and a bit of annoyance.

"Wait til I get my hands on her..."

"I feel sorry for Goth Girl. You're like her guilty conscience and that's annoying." Ember remarked as they took off to the museum.

-.oOOo.-

Yay! Chapter four done. This was fun. I like bad villainous Sam/Black Phoenix. It's fun to write, because in order to do that you have to put her a little OoC which means you can basically make up a new personality. I admit though. It's hard to keep other peoples characters in character, but when their your own characters, they become like your children in a way and you know them like you know your family. I know so, I'm a writer outside of fanfiction too. Anyway Here's your sneak peek:

"You coming?" Danny asked Ember knowing that since a ghost was in there it would turn the situation around completely in her eyes. She didn't play hero whether he needed the help or not no matter how much Aly pleaded.

"To find Goth Girl, yes. To fight ghost, no." Ember said as she flew through the ceiling.

Danny went through as well not seeing Ember anywhere so he assumed she was looking for Black Phoenix. He decided he'd let Ember take care of her for now. He had to focus on whatever ghost was here.

He wandered silently down the dark halls of the museum with moonlight shining through a few windows. He hadn't seen any ghost yet. He continued and then stopped.

Click, click, click

Danny frowned upon hearing the noise. What was that? He heard it continue and then stop for a moment and then start up again. The noise got closer and then it suddenly dawned on him what it sounded like.

"Are those high heel boots?" he asked an as if on cue someone ran into him.

"Darnit," came Black Phoenix's voice as she fell backwards almost dropping the sack in her hand along with Toya. She stood up and then looked at Danny who was eyeing the bag in her hand and giving her a disapproving look. She sighed although she was more so annoyed about what she knew was coming once the bight was over. "Scratch that, let's try... Fuck."

Hope you enjoyed. R&R.
