Okay, the error in the previous chapter has been fixed. It should be more readable now. I have a concert to attend tonight so I probably won't get to answering reviews tonight. I will tomorrow though.

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom, or Lois and Clark. I also don't own Harry Kim; he belongs to Star Trek: Voyager, and Paramount Pictures.

Chapter VII: Fight in the Lab

That night, they had takeout from Harry Kim's Chinese. Danny ate his mushu pork and rice quickly and went to bed early. He had barely gotten into bed when his ghost sense went off.

"Great," muttered Danny as he transformed and went to look for the ghost.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lois and Clark, however, had been dragged down to the basement by Jack. He proceeded to tell them in intricate detail about every single invention from the Ghost Portal to the Ghost Gabber. He finally showed them his and Maddie's latest invention, the Fenton Adhesire. It shot out a glob of ecto-goo that would make a glue-like substance around a ghost, and hold them for about 15 minutes, then dissolve.

Jack sighed. "Most of the inventions don't work. The Booomerang seems to have imprinted itself onto Danny. Can't figure that one out."

Lois and Clark simply looked at each other. They didn't want to tell his parents, but they did need to talk to Danny. And soon.

"Hey, Dad!" shouted Jazz. She came running down the stairs. "What are you doing?" she asked, noticing Lois and Clark.

"Oh, showing them our inventions," said Jack.

Jazz frowned. "Are you sure they're really interested in this stuff?"

"Of course!" boomed Jack.

"Well, it is–oomph!" Clark had to pretend to be hurt and rubbed his side as Lois had jabbed him with her elbow.

Jazz took Clark and Lois by their arms and proceeded to direct them towards the stairs, saying as she went, "I think they had a ghost sighting at school, Dad. Maybe you'd better check it out."

"Yippee!" shouted Jack. He turned attention back to his inventions as he tried to decide which ones to take.

Jazz took Lois and Clark into the kitchen. They heard a pounding noise as Jack came up the stairs, and blew past them on the way out. A minute later, they heard the GAV backing out of the driveway and squealing off.

"Whew," sighed Jazz.

"Thank you," said Lois, relieved to have gotten out of there.

"No problem," said Jazz, waving her hand. "I've been the victim of one of Dad's explanations more than once." She walked out, leaving Lois and Clark standing in the kitchen.

Lois sat down at the table, and blew out a breath she hadn't been aware she had been holding. Clark also pulled out a chair and sat down. Lois opened her mouth to say something, but whatever it was was forgotten when they heard a loud crash downstairs. They looked at each other and instantly ran back to the lab. They found the place to be an even bigger mess than when they had left. Danny was flying high, trying to avoid a ghost that was obviously trying to down him with a missile.

"For the umpteenth time!" shouted Danny, turning intangible to avoid the missile, "My pelt will not rest at the foot of your bed!" Clark felt squeamish at the very thought. The robotic ghost finally succeeded in trapping Danny in a net. Lois looked around for anything that might help Danny. She noticed Jack had left his new invention. Better than nothing, she thought.

"Clark!" He looked at her and followed her finger. He instantly zipped to it, and hefted it up. He took careful aim at the robotic spectra, who now had another missile aimed point blank at the boy. Clark fired. A glob of ecto-goo instantly flew out and attacked the robot ghost. It began to grow. The ghost was now distracted by the goo. In a few seconds, the robot was covered with the goo beneath his neck. The net over Danny dissolved, leaving Danny to pick up his thermos and suck the robo-ghost in. He floated down to the floor, obviously worn out.

"Who was that?" asked Clark, as they walked over to him.

"Skulker, the Ghost Zone's greatest hunter, or so he thinks," Danny chuckled lightly. "Actually, when he's out of that robot suit, he's a little ghost about three inches tall. It's funny, but kind of pitiful at the same time."

Lois couldn't help it. She laughed. Danny walked over to a column near the portal and attached the thermos. He pressed a button on the thermos, and Lois saw the ghost that Danny had just caught spinning into the Ghost Zone. She stepped a little closer.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," said Danny evenly. Lois took his advice and stepped back. Danny pressed a button on the console, and the doors immediately shut. No sooner had the doors shut then they heard a door slamming. Jack was back. They heard him coming down the stairs.

Lois quickly whipped around to tell Danny to fly away, but the boy was already gone. Lois and Clark looked at each other and, not wanting to be stuck down there again, took up places on each side of the doorway. When Jack came bounding through, muttering words under his breath, they were able to race up the stairs without Jack seeing them.

They went to the living room, only to find Danny snoring on the couch. Lois spotted an afghan, and draped it over him. He simply murmured "thanks" before rolling over slightly. Lois and Clark went upstairs to their room. They'd have a chance to talk to Danny in the morning.

Whew. Another chapter done. If I had all day, I could probably load the entire story up, but where would the fun be in that?
