Taking Over Me
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom. The wonderful Butch Hartman does. If I did, I'd be flying around with Danny right about now...
In this chappie, not much action. Just the story of how Kalyn got her powers.

Flashback to the Past
Sunday crept up and Danny was the first to wake. He looked over at Kalyn who was still sleeping. He was happy to see that Kalyn came out of unconsciousness. Danny tip toed out of his room and went downstairs. Jazz was already up and watching something about psychology on TV. She turned to see her brother.
"Hi, Danny, good morning," Jazz said cheerfully.
"Oh, 'morning Jazz," Danny said and returned to fix Kalyn and himself some breakfast. He went up to his room with his food on a tray. Kalyn was still asleep. Danny glanced over at his clock.
"9:24, you're a heavy sleeper," commented Danny.
Danny waited a half hour before Kalyn actually woke up.
"What time is it?" Kalyn said rather sleepily.
"Near 10 o' clock, do you remember anything?" Danny said concerned.
"Yeah," Kalyn said and looked at her left arm. She peeled the bandage off.
"Thank goodness," Danny said relieved. Danny handed her a piece of toast with butter on it. She gladly took it and ate it.
When she was finished eating her entire breakfast, Danny put all the dishes away downstairs as Kalyn slipped into some of Danny's clothes.
They both knew what was happening next. The story of how Kalyn got her powers.
Danny was the first to speak. "I think you know what I'm going to ask, Kalyn, but before you do," he said and swiftly hugged her. She was caught off guard, soon hugged him back. They both felt each others' warmth. Each others' heartbeat.
"Ok, Danny, you can stop now," she said. Danny broke immediately, turning the color of a cherry tomato as well as Kalyn.
"Anyway, it all happened three years ago, in my hometown of Wealthmond. It was an ordinary day, just like any other Wake up, go to school, fail a math test that was 25 percent of your grade. All seemed normal, until my school went under attack by ghosts.
I was in gym at the time. I got dressed into my street clothes and brushed my hair into a bun. As I finished putting my hair up, I heard Principal Poates come on over the P.A.
'Ghost attack, I repeat ghost attack. This is NOT a drill. Everyone, please walk calmly to the nearest exit,' she said. I felt the panic in her voice. I had to get out of there. As I ran to the bathroom exit, I crashed against another person. Well, person wouldn't describe it. Ghost would fit.
I crashed into my alter ego. Beloved Water, I called her. Beloved for short. I stared at her and she stared at me. We both screamed our heads off. I hid in a stall and she turned invisible.
After calming down a bit, I heard the sound of sirens in the distance. I stepped out of the stall and cracked the door. A fleet of ghost police surrounded the exit point. I felt a sense of fear and hopelessness. Beloved turned visible and spoke to me.
'Please help me, those police are out to get me for a crime I didn't do. Help me. I beg of you,' she said pleadingly. I sensed her innocence in her ocean colored eyes. Then it hit me.
'Overshadow me,' I said, 'I read in a book once that ghosts can overshadow humans.'
She nodded and promptly turned intangible and overshadowed me, and I ran out the door screaming my head off. They paid me no mind. The police phased through the walls and searched everywhere in the school. When they gave up and flew off, Beloved tried to get out of my body, but one little problem.
She couldn't. We wouldn't separate.
After school, I ran to my room as soon as I stepped through the door. I took a good look in my mirror.
'Beloved, can you hear me?' I said. Beloved answered.
'Yes.'
'Why can't we separate?' I said.
'I don't know. I'm trying my hardest to get out. There's like a steel wall preventing me from exiting,' she said. I sensed she was telling the truth. I thought of Beloved's presence as a sign from God. We were meant to be together.
For some reason, I yelled out, "Beloved Power!" and transformed into my alter ego. I looked at me for a few seconds, turned around, turned invisible and intangible and flew around my room. I was content. I reverted to human mode.
And ever since that day I fought ghosts and ghouls. Eventually Walker found out about me, and I flew here, to keep my family safe and to keep Walker at bay," Kalyn said. "And I'm glad I did, or else I wouldn't have found you and your friends. I'm so gracious."
"Wow, that was a great story," Danny said wide eyed. Kalyn half expected him to have a bucket of popcorn nearby.
"Uh huh, my true life story," Kalyn said looking out Danny's window.
