I own nothing that is in this fic.
The Fenton clan just starred at the hole, when Jack raised a finger, "The ghost portal is gone… that's not a good thing."
"No Jack, it is not a good thing," replied Maddie.
Danny shook the shock off, then motioned to the hole in the wall, "Who would take the ghost portal?"
"I would be more worried about why they would steal it," added Jazz, "and how it would get out."
"You right Jazz," her mother agreed, "not only the size of the portal would be a problem, but so would weight and time. It still took your father and I three, almost four day till it was back up and running. And taking it apart still took two days, which means-"
"Ghost came and stole it, then took it into the ghost zone," said Jack, thinking it over.
Jazz sighed, "dad, if they came in through the ghost portal and stole it, how would they get it back to the ghost zone."
Jack smiled, "why, through the ghost portal of course."
Danny gave a smile to Jazz as she rolled her eyes, obvious thinking, 'ask a stupid question…"
But Danny was thinking on his own about the missing ghost portal. The only person who would want it was Vlad Masters, the only other hafla Danny knew about. But why, and he might be able to phase the portal itself, but even he couldn't lift the thing. It was at least a ton or two by Danny's guess, and being a half ghost, he did have increased strength, but he doubt he would ever be that strong.
And there was something else itching at the back of his mind. As if, a presence was there with them. His parents didn't seem to feel anything and his ghost sense hasn't gone off, so that must be something. He noticed an overturned table and tarp.
Walking over to it, he removed the tarp, to find a container of some sort, and green writing that looked like ectoplasm.
Hello Danny, if your reading this, then you have ten seconds to fly out before the bomb in front of you blows up. And tell your mom I said hi, son.
Danny froze for one second, and saw an eight appear on the timer. "Mom, Dad, Jazz, RUN!"
The three in question looked over as he changed into phantom form and launched at them. He threw his sister over his shoulder, his mother under one arm, and dragging his dad behind him by the collar of his shirt, Danny went intangible and flew straight up and out as fast as he could.
Danny made it to a safe distance even thought has mother and sister were crying out curses, as there 'new home' went up in a blaze of green and red glory.
The four-member family watched as every little ghost weapon, clothing, and other trinkets went up in flames.
"Ooooohhhh," said Jack, "fireworks!"
The other three Fenton's glared evilly.
Logan sat, enjoying a beer and cigar in the late hours. Things had been hectic, what with that ghost kid and all. After those Fenton's left, he connected Fury and told him the kid's story. Fury agreed the where Maddie sounded capable (though not so much sure on Jack), that Danny right now was the only one really person that could fight off these ghost attacks. But Fury warned that if the kid over stepped any lines and became dangerous for the general public, SHEILD would come down hard on the kid.
Logan sighed and shook his head, "I'm glad I'm out of that shit."
He heard the gate buzzer and groaned. He put down his cigar in the ashtray and walked to the intercom. He hit the send button, "what do you want?"
"Mr. Logan," came back a familiar female voice, "it's Jazz Fenton, can you let me and my family in?"
Logan stood for a moment, and replied, "why, your house blow up or something?"
A pause, then "yes, actually."
Logan groaned again, and hit the gate controls, and thought out to Xavier, waking the man up, "Chuck, we got company.'
Danny slowly woke the following morning in a strange bed, in a strange room. He sat up and took in the surroundings. He was in a large ravish room and in a large rather comfortable bed. He thought to the night before.
After arriving at the Institute, where Maddie felt would be the safest place for them, they had sat down with Xavier and Logan in the late hour and talked about what had happened. Xavier asked if anyone could use it for his or her own purposes, and his parents couldn't answer him really, seeing as how they never thought it could actually be stolen. After awhile, Danny and Jazz at least were falling asleep, more so Danny after a run around in the Danger Room, and where sent to a couple of spare rooms to sleep.
Which was where he was now.
He looked around the room, and found a pair of clean jeans and black shirt that seemed his size. He took a quick shower that had been in the room and dressed, and headed to find breakfast.
As he stepped out, he ran into a brown haired boy, his name came to Danny, Bobby Drake.
"Hey, I was just coming to see if you were up," Bobby said with a smile, "breakfast is served."
Danny smiled, "That's great, lead the way."
He followed Bobby to the dinning room, and found a zoo.
Danny watched as Kitty, phased through the boy known as Sam Guthrie, and grabs a couple of pancakes. He saw Kurt, in his natural blue form, hanging from the chandelier above the table by his tail, and was grabbing two plates, full of food and mounding over. He saw the youngest, Jamie Madrox, smack himself in the head and out popped two more of him, which began running for food.
Danny gulped, "this is how they serve breakfast?"
He just stood in awe, wondering if he would be able to get a chance to eat now, or if waiting and making something himself would be a better idea. Danny was thinking this over when he saw Jazz wave at him from her seat, an empty one next to it, and a plate full of food.
Danny walked over and gave her a look, "no fair, how did you get your food over all this."
Jazz smiled, "for one, I was up before most of these guys, and second, I helped make it. Now come on, I saved you a plate before they showed." She motion to the seat next to her.
"Oh, thanks Jazz," said Danny bashfully. Truth was, Jazz always seemed to be up at the crack of dawn. Always the earlier riser of the family.
Jazz leaned over, asking, "So, how do you like it here so far?"
Danny gave a smile, "well, now that I've got at least some friends and the fact I know my parents don't hate me, not to bad."
"Danny, Jasmine, could you please come to my office," came a voice in Danny's head.
Danny looked at Jazz, "ok, are you as freaked out by that as I am?"
Jazz just slowly nodded, but got up. "Come on, I don't think I want a repeat of that if I can help it."
Placing their empty plates in the kitchen sink, they made there way to the Professor's office.
Jazz raised her hand to knock when they heard the Professor call out, "come in you two."
Jazz looked back at Danny, who shrugged, then stepped through the door. Inside, they found the Professor behind his desk and their parents in a couple of seats in front of him.
"What's going on," asked Danny.
"Danny, Jazz," said their mother as she turned in her chair to face them. "We wanted to let you know that your father and I have decided that living her would be the best option for the time being."
"Your mother's right," added Jack, "once the ghost security is installed, your mother and I will be working on a new ghost portal, as well as upgrading our weapons."
Then the Professor looked right at Danny, "I also feel that it would be best for all of us that you join the New Mutants to train with your powers. I realize that they may hold you back in a sense, but you'll be able to learn on how to work in a team, as well as learn further control of your powers."
Jazz crossed her arms, "What about school?
"Oh, you'll continue at Bayville high," said Maddie, "you'll only change addresses."
"And I realize this may poise a problem, seeing as how Jazz is not a mutant," said the Professor, "but I wanted to include your opinions on this matter."
"I'm cool with it," shrugged Jazz.
Danny thought for a moment, then finally, "Yea, I'm ok with it too. But I have something I want to add."
"What's that dear," asked his mother, now concerned.
"I want full freedom to go out to fight ghosts at night," said Danny. "Face it, the ghost portal is missing, and if it's running anywhere near here, I'm the only one who can really fight what comes through."
"Don't be ridicules son," laughed his father, "we're just as good of ghost hunters as you are."
Danny shook his head, "you haven't face the things I have. You two always should up after the fighting was done, or close to done. I was your only target. The ghost's you have fought are just annoying for me."
Maddie was going to say something, but stopped. Thinking it over, she didn't fight many more things other then her son. It broke her heart to think about it, but he was right. She nodded, "Alright, but you come home no later then eleven. You still have to go to school."
Danny nodded with a smile, "that's fine."
Xavier smiled, "Then I will be the first towelcome you all to your new home here at the Institute."
Danny sighed as he looked around his second new room of the month. He was in a large room all by himself, since it seemed that the other New Mutants all had roommates, and the boy X-men were allowed to have their own rooms unless the mansion got to crowded. As for Jazz, she was rooming with Jean. The Professor thought since they were close to the same age and being that they seemed to share similar interests, they would become fast friends. Danny had also been given a room close to the entrance so when he went out on patrols, he wouldn't have to fly over the mansion or through other rooms.
Danny turned to a knock to find Kitty and Kurt, the two people Danny knew the best in the mansion.
"Hey, like, who do you like your new room," Kitty asked.
Danny shrugged, "it's bigger, I'll give it that much. We'll see if I manage to get any sleep."
"Oh yea, I forgot," added Kurt, who smiled, "you get to go and play super hero."
Danny sighed, knowing he should have expected this, "look, I go out and look for ghost. Do I look like Spider-man?"
Kitty pushed Kurt, "don't mind him, he's just jealous. I'm glad to here you and your family are staying. It's been awhile since we've gotten any new students."
Danny shrugged, "I don't know if I'm a student per say. We're just here cause our house blew up."
Kurt winced, "ouch. Who would hav done such a thing?"
Danny knew who, but not knowing why, Danny decided to keep his mouth shut, and shrugged an I don't know.
Kitty took it, "oh well. Let's go see what the others are up to downstairs. I've got a date with Lance in a couple of hours, but I've still got a bit of time to spare."
So, the three went downstairs and into the den, and found a few students watching TV. Though, with the controller in Roberto's hand, the channels passed by to quick to really see anything.
"Buy Joe Cola…"
Channel change.
"And Kane is stepping up Big Show for the…"
Channel change.
"Vlad Master has been…"
Channel change.
"Hold on," cried Danny, hearing the name, "back up one."
Roberto glared, but did so. It was the news, showing a picture of Vlad. "The Wisconsin Millionaire was found dead after going missing three days ago. His body was massively burned, but police have not issued a statement saying the fire was the cause of death. More on this story as it comes in."
Danny completely froze to his spot, 'Vlad is dead. But, it felt like him when I saw that writing. It was faint, but I had the same chill. How could he be dead?'
Most were looking at him with curiosity. It was Rogue who asked, "What's wrong?"
Danny turned and stormed out saying, "I need to talk to the Prof and my parents."
"So you're saying that this Plasmus was Vlad Master, the missing millionaire, who was a half ghost like yourself," asked the Professor. He was seated once again behind his desk with Logan, Jazz, and Danny's parent in the room as well. Danny had just told what Vlad was and how he wanted to break up his parents and marry Maddie. She was furious at it, but held her angry in check as she listened.
Danny nodded, "yea, and the weird thing was, is I saw his writing just before that bomb went off in the house."
"Danny," cried Maddie, "why didn't you say anything after that?"
Danny threw his arms wide, "what could I have said? 'He mom, the guy who just blew up our house is after your heart and wants to become my new dad.' Besides, I must be wrong, I mean, I don't think Vlad's in ghost form, since he's dead."
"Ether way," stated Xavier, "we should look into Mr. Masters. He may be involved in some way."
Logan walked to the door, "I'll contact Fury. If he had stuff on the kid, I'm sure he's got information of this new guy too."
Xavier nodded to his old friend as Logan left. He turned to Danny, "thank you for bringing the to our attention."
Danny shrugged and was excused.
That night, Danny was in Phantom form and invisible, flying over the city. He figured he could learn any possible hot spots for ghost as well as clear his head from earlier. And flying helped with that. It also got him away from Rogue. She had been staring at him for most of the day when they had been in the same room, and he didn't know why.
And it was starting to drive him insane.
He sighed, when his ghost sense went off. Danny stopped and looked around.
He found a pair of ghost guards from the prison in the ghost zone he was once held in, facing off against a ghost, bear?
Danny stayed above and watched as the bear charged and began mauling the two guards. Soon, they retreated, leaving the bear.
'Great,' thought Danny, 'leave the hard work for me.' But he watched as the bear just disappeared. Danny flew down to the alley it was in and listened.
Shuffling behind him. Danny turned around, hearing more shuffling, like someone running. Danny took off in flight, being able to move faster this way then running.
The thing in question turn, and Danny phased through a wall to make up distance, and found a dead ended alley.
At the end of the alley, thought dark, Danny could make out the outlines of a person. It looked like a young five year old, clutching something to her body.
Danny started forward, reaching out, when the girl shrieked, "STAY BACK, LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Danny recoiled from the force of the words. Recomposing himself, he said softly, "It's ok. I'm a good guy."
"No, your just like the others, you'll take me back," she said. She took a step forward, the moonlight show the green skin of a ghost. "I won't go back to that prison."
She threw what was in her arms at Danny, who jumped back. Danny watched as a teddy bear landed on the ground.
Danny was going to comment, when the head moved on its own, giving Danny a feral look with now green eyes, and a glowing green mouth with fangs. One arm ripped apart, showing a green bear paw five time that of the teddy bear. Then the other arm ripped off, showing the same. The legs ripped off as a pair, showing the rest of the bear's body. Shaking it's head, the teddy's head flew off, reviling a very pissed off, fully grown bear that when standing tall, double, if not triple, his size. And just as wide as his father.
The green ghost bear roared, then charged Danny, who stood in awe.
'So much for my good day,' Danny thought, as the bear came rushing towards him.
So, you people like? And I'm putting a call out for help. I need help find a site that will give me information for everything having to do with Danny Phantom (ie, all of Danny's Enemies (big or small), full character bios (also big or small) and episode reviews if possible). I would look for it myself, but all I find online is links for the Danny Phantom: The Ultimate Enemy game. If someone can find one for me, then I will ask you what you would like to see within this story. I will email with things that I will not change, but even if I like it, I might change it. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you ahead of time, and don't forget to R&R.
