Yay! I'm actually updating when I plan to for once. Thanks to my reviewers for being so understanding and helpful and to those reviewers that helped. I also apologize for spelling Robin's name wrong. I have an old friend named Robyn and I'm used to spelling it that way. And now, I do feel really stupid, but I thought that Starfire's eyebrows were some sort of markings, so that's why I had that.
So, thanks to my reviewers!

After I put my new ones up, I'm not going to be putting any more new ones up (Discluding Fiction 2 and Ghost Gal 2) until I finish a few first. I plan to at least finish Freeze Out, Fiction, Hotel Paper, Ghost Gal, Images, Control Freaks, and maybe Willing or Flash before I put any more new ones up. So, I'll just be updating my other ones for a while!
Chapter Two has a little more action! Enjoy! Sneak peek is down at the bottom.
Chapter Two
Heroes
Reflex took over Danny and he grabbed the girl and shoved her down with one hand in case it didn't work, then threw his hand out and created an ectoplasmic shield a couple feet above him. It worked, and the lightning bounced upwards the opposite direction.
"Lightning and Thunder are here," the girl said, staring up. He followed her gaze and once again saw two shapes; one big, the other small.
"You know them?" he asked.
"We have fought before. They are—" She squealed as something flew towards her. The next thing he knew, something was flying at him, a strangely colored vulture.
The first thing that flew through his mind was the memory of Vlad Plasmius's servants, the Egyptian vultures. But the bird looked different, and was fully green.
"Starfire, hurry up and fire!" the creature said, launching himself in a circle around him.
"No, wait!" the girl cried.
Danny realized what was happening. The creature thought that he was the one causing everything; the storm, the panic. He gasped and went intangible just as the bird scraped the air where he had been.
He flew down at top speed towards the ground, faking a dive, and then was closely chased by someone else.
"You might be fast, but take this!" the voice cried, before letting out a battle cry. The voice was male and deep. Suddenly, a powerful ball of blue energy flew towards him. He threw up his hands in front of him, shoving it away with his own ectoplasmic blasts.
"Beastboy, Cyborg, stop!" Starfire yelled, heading towards them rapidly.
"Don't worry Star, we'll get rid of him," Cyborg yelled, running towards him. Danny braced himself to fight.
"He is not the one! I saw him myself!" Starfire cried, to no affect.
Danny threw up a shield as another large blast of blue energy flew his way from Cyborg. It bounced off the opposite direction and back at him, sending him reeling backwards.
"Hey, nobody messes with my friends!" shouted a voice overhead. A large wild cat jumped for him and he ducked and the cat sailed over his head, screaming ferociously.
"No!" Starfire cried.
"Where did he go?" Cyborg asked, staring around. The fiend had suddenly disappeared into thin air. "Is he invisible?"
"Not for long," said a deep voice. A girl rose into the air, a long black cape billowing out behind her. "Asarath metrion zinthos!" she chanted, her eyes glowing. She looked up and saw the enemy preparing to attack behind Starfire, his arms outstretched—
"He's over there!" she said, pointing.
She threw out her hands and a black mass of dark energy swarmed him and surrounded him in a fist like trap.
Surprised, Danny tried going intangible, but it wasn't working. The energy was too strong. He was confused at how the girl had managed to see him anyway.
"No! I shall not let you hurt him!" Starfire shouted. Her eyes glowed an odd green and from her hands shot three bright flashes of green energy. Each landed a foot from Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Raven, striking the muddy ground and splashing dirt into their eyes. Raven's hold on Danny broke and he dropped to his knees.
"What in the heck are you doing Star?" Beast Boy asked incredulously, sputtering.
"He is not the enemy!" she shouted.
"What are you talking about?" Beast Boy asked.
"Storm and Lightning, they are the ones who caused the danger. He was trying to help. He is like us," she explained.
"What are you exactly?" Danny asked, standing up.
"The Teen Titans," Cyborg said. "We help save people. What is it that you do?"
"I'm a ghost hunter. Look, Star..whatever your name is—"
"Starfire," she said, taking no offense.
"Starfire, is right. There were two people up there," he said.
"Thunder and Lightning. The two brothers. Do you not remember fighting them?" she asked the other three.
"Hard to forget," Raven said, putting her hood back in place. "How do we know we can trust you?"
"Because I'm far from evil—"
Something hard smashed into his face. He stumbled and fell to the ground, clutching his cheek, just as someone stood behind him.
"Robin, what are you doing?" Starfire asked. "You have hit the Protector." She floated over to Danny, who was rubbing the side of his face with one hand and offered to help him stand, but with ghostly power, he rose to his feet with no help.
"I was protecting you, what is going on? Why are you helping him?" Robin asked, the eyes under the mask flashing from one hero to the other. His long black and red cape flew behind him with the wind.
"He was trying to help apparently," Cyborg said, walking over to them. "Man, what are you? I've never seen a costume like yours."
"It kind of came along with the job," Danny replied, not taking his eyes off the new, masked stranger. "I became half ghost in an accident. Ever since then, I've been fighting off evil ghosts."
"And that's why you're here," Raven finished.
"I thought that those two, Lightning and Thunder, were ghosts," he replied, agreeing. "And with the storm, things were already going wrong."
"You are interesting and friendly. What is your name? What powers do you have? What is your favorite color? What is this? Will you be my friend?" Starfire said this all very fast, hovering over him slightly so that he had to bend over a little. She touched the strap of the Fenton Thermos lightly that was strapped to his back.
"Um… Danny Phantom, ghost powers, blue, the Fenton Thermos, and yes…I guess," he said, hoping that he'd answered all of her sudden questions.
"Don't worry. You're not the first one she's done that too," Raven said.
"So, who are you guys?" he asked.
"The Teen Titans," Beast Boy volunteered. He pointed to all of them in turn. "Raven, Cyborg, Starfire, Robin, and I…am Beast Boy. Able to turn into any animal, anywhere." He jumped up in the air and before his eyes became a dog, then transformed into a cat within the next second.
"Whoa, cool," Danny said, very much impressed.
"He's a show off," Raven muttered.
"How do you know we can trust you?" Robin said, coming over to him. The two boys were even in height, and both had the same, skinny, but muscular build.
A streak of blue came out from Danny's mouth. "Because, now we're in trouble. Ghosts," he replied.
"Can we help?" Beast Boy asked, changing into a small kitten like animal, it's eyes wide as he tried to look as cute as possible.
"Sure, but I should—" he began.
They heard a scream and Danny's heart did a back flip. He rose into the air, a new determined aura about him.
He felt a cool wind around him and without looking, whipped around with one leg in the air and smashed into something behind him.
The ghost reeled backwards under his blow, soaring hard behind him. There was a flash of green, and for a moment, he thought his powers had gone off on him, but then he saw Starfire cornering the ghost from the other side.
Beast Boy took to the air as a pterodactyl, soaring high towards the ghost. But just as he was about to hit the ghost with his long talons, he went intangible.
Danny pulled the Fenton Thermos off of his shoulder strap and looked around for the ghost. It was just about to sneak up behind Robin, who was staring the other direction. Danny dove down quick and Robin ducked, just as a vortex of blue-white light trapped the ghost inside. He landed on his feet and to his surprise, received a dark glare from the teen.
"What are you trying to do, kill me?" he asked.
"Excuse me? The ghost was right behind you, if anything, I saved you," Danny snapped. He didn't mean to be so rude, but already the guy was starting to annoy him with his take-control attitude.
"Danny!" shouted a terrified voice.
"Sam!" he shouted, recognizing the voice.
He looked up to see two ghosts supporting her very high in the air. Using the ground as support, he pushed off hard and shot towards them. His hands suddenly appeared to have a glowing green energy within the palms.
He was just about to fire, when someone crashed into him from behind and both of them smashed into one of Sam's holders. He regained balance, pointing the Fenton Thermos hard in the attackers' direction, sucking both ghosts into the thermos.
"Sam!" he shouted.
He saw her falling and sped towards her as fast as she could, but she reached the ground too fast….and landed in the arms of someone else.
Robin caught Sam before she hit the ground and her eyes widened for a millisecond. Their eyes met for a moment and he set her down gently, both of them still staring at each other.
"Sam, are you—" Danny began, placing both feet on the ground. He noticed the way the two were staring at each other and a rush of anger went through him.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Sam said, shaking her head.
Raven and Starfire remained floating near them, but Beast Boy and Cyborg surrounded them in a circle. Sam stared at them in disbelief.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"The Teen Titans," Robin said. "I'm Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Raven," he said, pointing to each of them.
"I'm Sam," she said.
"I never heard your name by the way," Beast Boy said to Danny.
He shrugged and changed by into his human form in a flash of light. "I'm Danny Fenton," he said.
"Ooh," Starfire said.
"You're human?" Robin asked.
"Half," Sam replied for him. "Half ghost."
"Neat," Beast Boy said. "You're really powerful aren't you? You just took all of those ghosts pretty much on your own."
Danny laughed. "Not really."
"He's also quite modest, don't listen to him. He really is powerful," Sam said, giving him a smile.
"So, if you didn't cause the storms, who did?" Robin asked, going back to business.
"Thunder and Lightning, the brothers we fought a few months ago," Starfire replied. She turned to Danny and Sam. "When we saw you in the sky, we thought you were the one. I was supposed to see what you were, and that's when I saw the brothers."
Danny nodded. "What are they?" he asked.
"Just naturally gifted brothers," Beast Boy said. "But they can be extremely dangerous."
"Look, we can't stay here. Amity Park isn't exactly the type of town where you can walk around freely dressed like that," Sam said. "How about you come over to my house? My parents are in England."
"Besides that, we'll have a place to work for a while," Robin said.
"You're staying?" Danny said. Sam gave him a curious look and he glanced down, averting her gaze. She knew something was wrong.
"Well, we need to find Lightning and Thunder. They could be easy…unless Slade is working with them again," he replied.
"Who's Slade?" Danny asked.
"We don't really need to tell you unless he's working with them. Other than that, he's our problem," he said.
"Hey, if Slade is someone who's going to threaten anyone, it's my problem too," he retaliated.
"Let's just go over to Sam's house before I get soaked anymore," Raven grumbled.
Danny and Robin looked at each other and both replied at the same time. "Fine."
……………………………….
"Do you have anything to eat?" Cyborg asked, staring around Sam's incredibly large, awesome basement. His gaze fixed on her popcorn machine and soda maker and he whistled.
Sam laughed. "Help yourself. There's more in the room behind the counter."
Cyborg and Beast Boy automatically rushed over and started indulging themselves. Starfire was walking around, checking out Sam's movie collection. Raven had chosen the darkest corner and was now sitting cross legged, floating in midair, her eyes closed in meditation.
"If you guys need something to do, I've got video games—"
She didn't even get to finish. Cyborg and Beast Boy raced over instantly, already locating where the controllers were and relaxed on the chairs, immediately playing.
Danny watched in amusement, hopping up into one of the high, swivel bar chairs near the kitchen with his cheese fries that he'd just made.
"Want to play? It goes up to six players with certain games," Sam asked. Danny had been about to reply, then realized who she had been talking to.
"No, not really. Maybe later," Robin answered. "Everything's so different here. I was going to go take a walk for a while."
"I can give you a tour if you want," Sam proposed. "Then again, Amity Park isn't really that interesting."
"That's okay. A tour sounds good," he said.
Danny watched them for a moment and then turned around, suddenly rather intrigued by his cheese fries.
"Alright, cool. Let's go," she said. She turned back to them all. "We'll be back shortly. Feel free to use anything you want down here. Just don't go upstairs cause you might give the maid a heart attack."
"Yeah, okay," Cyborg replied, not paying attention.
Sam rolled her eyes. "Come on, I doubt they'll miss us."
Out of the corner of his eye, Danny saw the two leave alone and stabbed his fries rather harder than intended.
"Why so gloomy friend?" Starfire asked, coming over to stand behind the counter. She propped her head on her plated arms and he met her green eyes.
"Nothing," he muttered.
Raven's voice broke through their conversation. "I know what his problem is. Even though a stubborn part of you won't admit it, the other part of you knows it."
He blinked rapidly. "And what is that?"
"You're jealous."
…………………………………………………..
And it's like…duh! Poor Danny. That's what I meant in the previous chapter. In the episode Lucky in Love (DP), Sam got extremely jealous when Danny liked Paulina. Now that they're going out…Danny might have a problem with the new connection between Sam and Robin.
Here's your sneak peek! Next chapter might not be very long, but it has a pretty good cliffhanger! Please R&R!
Chapter Three: Green
"I'm so sorry that I would rather not be punched for no apparent reason just because he—" He stopped. "Forget it. I don't even know why I'm telling you all of this."
"Because it's true," Raven said, still floating.
"You know, that's kind of creepy," he said, trying to change the subject.
"What?" she asked.
"You…floating there like that," he said.
"This is my kind of utopia. And changing the subject doesn't work on me. I still think, in fact, I still know that you're jealous."
"Why shouldn't he be?" Starfire asked. "Every time we go somewhere new, Robin finds someone he likes."
"That's not true," Beast Boy said, walking over to them.
"Well then, good," Danny said. "I'll be right back." He walked up the stairs and disappeared from sight.
"Yep…he's jealous," Raven stated.
