True Family

by EctoPermafrost

The blame, the hate, the undesirable feeling of seclusion, it was just too much for him. So he left, attempting to try and escape the ever suffocating feeling of betrayal. But when he finally finds somewhere in which he can call home... will the miserable past seep into his life again? And will he have to return to the place in which he dreads?

5. Chapter 4

I (EctoPermafrost) AM REALLY REALLY SORRY!

I know what you guys were probably thinking, 'When are they going to update?!' BUT I'M HERE TO FINALLY UPDATE! HAZAH! Okay, so a couple of things begfore we begin, just explanation of why it took so long and a quick announcement.

1.) SCHOOL! LITERARY RALLY! AND A WHOLE LOT OF DISTRACTIONS! Yep, those are Ecto's excuses/reasons as to why we haven't updated in so long. School has been a trip, hassle, and a whole lot of stress, to try and get projects and other school work done. Also the fact that Ecto lost their FLASHDRIVE! SO ECTO HAD TO RETYPE WHAT WAS ALREADY DONE! So again, Ecto's apologies.

2.) LORD OF THE FLIES! 112 FOLLOWERS! HOW IN THE WORLD DID THAT HAPPEN?! (Ecto and Silver silently freaking out...)

3.) Silver818 and I ARE still planning on trying to keep a schedule and update within two to three weeks! We are sorry that it took SOO long, but we're finally pulling ourselves together, and we should, hopefully, stay on track this time.

ALRIGHT THEN! I believe that's enough rambling and finally time to move on to the story!

BE SURE TO READ THE END AUTHOR'S NOTE! ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS AND REVIEWS WILL BE POSTED ALONG WITH EXPLAINATIONS!

ENJOY! :) :D PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!

Ch. 4

Danny smiled as Gar bounced in excitement as they walked down the hallway towards the Mission Room. The small green boy was grinning like a mad man as he bounced up and down, with a new fiery determination in his green eyes.

"Gar, chill out! You might end up hurting yourself with all that jumping!" Danny laughed.

Gar stopped jumping but he still had his wide grin plastered onto his face.

"I'm sorry Danny but I just can't help it! We're finally going on a mission again!" Gar exclaimed with excitement.

Danny shook his head at the young boy's antics, but still managed to keep his smile.

"Gar it has only been two weeks since our last mission. It wasn't that long ago," Danny replied amusedly.

Gar fake pouted, but it only made Danny laugh even more. "Yeah but I just can't help but feel like we might actually get some action this time, around!"

After Gar's last exclamation, they both continued down the hallway in silence with their good moods.

By the time they arrived in the Mission Room to be debriefed, the Zeta-Tubes were already being powered on and the computer began to announce the designations.

"Batman-02, Red Tornado-16, Nightwing-B01."

Danny and Gar joined the rest of the Team members, as they awaited their assignments. At least, until Kid Flash, Impulse, and Beast Boy started debating on what they were going to do on our mission.

"-about Dr. Freeze?" Danny overheard Kid Flash ask.

"Nah...OH! Maybe we're going to go take down another one of Lex's projects!" Impulse theorized.

"No, no, no... I think we're going to go take down somebody from the Light or maybe even the Injustice League!" Beast Boy argued.

"Close."

The three debating teens turned around to see Batman, Red Tornado, and Nightwing approaching them.

Danny smiled at the red and yellow hero. When Danny had met Tornado for the first time, he had to admit that he was kind of impressed. The hero was a robot of an all red metal 'skin' if you will. He had no ears or nose, and his eyes and mouth sockets made him look somewhat 'emotionless'. He had a yellow T symbol on his chest and a yellow arrow on his forehead.

Now back to what he was originally saying. He wasn't impressed by the fact Red Tornado was a robot, (he had to thank Skulker for that), in fact, he was impressed at how emotionally attached Tornado was towards the Team. Unlike other AI systems or robots he's met, Tornado has a way of actually caring for the young teenagers, almost like how a parent would feel protective of a child. And that's what really makes Danny enjoy the company of him as well. Unlike the other Leaguers, Danny felt more open towards Tornado and felt that he could have a somewhat 'normal' conversation with him (except for Black Canary of course). In short, Red Tornado, to Danny, was more comfortable to be around than the other Leaguers.

Everyone turned their attention to the Caped Crusader, who was now bringing up pictures on the holographic computer.

Batman gave Danny a quick glance, correction, glare, and then continued to debrief everyone on the mission.

The floor was momentarily the most interesting thing in the room, as Danny turned his head away from the adult heroes.

"Why didn't inform us that you were having visions again?"

Danny remained silent as he sat on the medical bed/table. He was still in his Phantom form, his energy hadn't been completely depleted from the fight with GL.

The Leaguers present, stood around the table closely, but not too close to where Danny would feel claustrophobic. While, Aqualad, and Superboy had already left the room to join the other members, but Danny noticed, were hesitant before they left.

"Phantom."

Danny looked up fearfully at the Caped Crusader.

"Why?"

He opened and closed his mouth, trying to desperately find a way around the question without revealing what all happened on his last mission..

The Leaguers looked on as he tried to form words. But resulted in Canary sighing and then tried to change the subject, even though they WOULD be discussing his mental health later.

"Who was that person you mentioned?"

Phantom looked over towards her and seemed to choose his words carefully, before speaking with a slight hoarse voice, "An old enemy of mine..."

Canary held back a sigh of relief as she thought, 'At least, we finally got him to speak...'

"But why did you react so violently when Green Lantern taunted you?" she asked.

Danny looked down again and his eyes seemed to darken before saying, "Because those were the same words that he had said before doing something that would haunt me for the rest of my life..."

Danny blinked as he was brought back to the present and he quickly turned his attention back to the debriefing.

"-rumor is Joker is now in this warehouse. Your mission is to find out what his new 'plan' is and if the Injustice League is somehow involved. This is a Recon mission ONLY. Nightwing will decide teams."

'At least I didn't miss anything too important..'

Batman began to walk back towards the Zeta-tubes but stopped momentarily in front of Danny. He leaned towards Danny's ear and whispered, "The mentors will be watching this mission, so I would advise you to not to endanger the mission, nor the Team itself. Do you understand what I am implying?"

Danny crossed his arms and looked at Batman and gave him the 'scary eyes', his eyes flashing his other half's bright neon green. "Perfectly," he replied with venom and annoyance in his Ghostly echo.

"What did he do?"

"That's none of your business."

Phantom and Batman had a momentary 'glare-down' as neither were going to back down.

"How does the whole 'Halfa-thing' work anyways?"

Phantom looked over at Flash and blinked, "What?"

Flash sighed and tried his best to explain, "The whole 'half-ghost' and 'half-human' thing? You explained HOW you di- I mean got your Ghost powers, but you never really explained HOW the whole thing works. Do you just DIE every time you transform or something?"

Phantom stared at the Flash for a moment but then busted out laughing.

The Leaguers just looked on in utter confusion.

After a few moments, Phantom calmed himself down enough to explain, "To be completely honest, I don't really even know MYSELF. Sam, Tucker, Jazz, and I all just came up with different theories and kind of just threw them around. So I don't actually have a SOLID answer or explanation... But man- ha!- I've never heard THAT one before!"

The Leaguers were dumbfounded. Even HE didn't know how his powers worked!?

"But-"

Batman narrowed his eyes, "'But' what?"

Danny looked up at them with a now deadly serious expression.

"I try not to think about it too much."

GL furrowed his eyebrows together, "Why not? Aren't you even, at least, a tiny bit curious as to how you're 'half-ghost'?"

Danny looked away from them and started rubbing his neck.

"That's just it... 'Am I human? Or am I a ghost?' 'Am I alive? Or am I dead?' 'Do I belong to the living? Or with ghosts?' 'Is one race going to be more accepting of me than the other?' 'Why or would, people treat me differently if I were one or the other?' I don't usually think about it because in the end... I'll end up tearing myself apart over it. And I'll just end up with more questions than answers, and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to like the answers." He chuckled and gave the Leaguers a sad smile. "Everything aside, it's as the saying goes, 'Curiosity killed the cat'..."

Batman narrowed his eyes at Danny but proceeded to walk back to the Zeta-tubes.

"Batman- 02."

The Team gave Danny a questioning look as his face regained its passive look, but no one decided to voice their thoughts.

Everyone's attention was now on Nightwing as he gave them all a small smile of encouragement.

"Alright, Team. Today there will be two teams. Team A consists of Kid Flash, Miss Martian, Robin and I. Team B consists of Aqualad, Superboy, Impulse, and Artemis. Beast Boy and Phantom are back up if needed. Team A will infiltrate the warehouse and try to collect as much information as possible. Team B will be the lookout, positioned around the perimeter of the warehouse. Questions? Good. We'll leave in an hour; dismissed."

Once the debriefing ended, everyone went back to what they were doing before.

Right when Danny was about to leave the room, he felt a hand on his shoulder and he turned to see Connor, Dick, and Red Tornado behind him. (Yes, Danny does know Nightwing's secret identity; you can blame a certain speedster for that.)

"Are you alright Danny?" Connor asked.

Danny shrugged his hand off and started to walk away again, but this time, Dick made him stop.

"Something's bothering you," Red Tornado stated, accusingly.

The former turned around and almost yelled, "Well maybe if the League stopped thinking of me as a threat and a no-good troublemaker, no matter HOW many times I've helped the Team, I would feel a whole lot better."

Dick and Connor (Red Tornado too, in his own way) looked a bit surprised at his 'almost' outburst, but Dick said, "Danny the League doesn't see you that way, they're just worried that-"

Danny's eyes flashed green, and the temperature in the room dropped a few degrees, as he interrupted Dick, "That I'll endanger their kids and that they will get hurt because of me."

"That's not-"

"Look Nightwing, your 'mentor' Batman, doesn't quite trust me, the League doesn't trust me and as of late, I'm starting to think that the League only cares for their proteges well-being. Heck, ever since the GL incident, if I were to get hurt, maybe even killed, for trying to protect you guys, the League would still think of me as a threat! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go get ready for a mission."

Danny then turned around and stormed off, thus taking the cold atmosphere with him. Leaving Nightwing, Superboy, and Red Tornado awkwardly standing in the Mission Room.

Red Tornado turned towards Nightwing, "The League does not want to hurt Danny, nor would they not care if he was harmed."

Nightwing opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Superboy, "You really don't get it do you?"

The two heroes turned their attention to him.

"Back when Danny was in his last dimension his entire city thought of him as evil, even though fought against the 'bad guys'. But he still remained a hero, no matter what he went through, no matter how much they despised him and wanted to hurt him because of what he was. Yet he still fought. Even when his own parents tried to hunt him. But when his friends, the only people he ever trusted and who saw him as a hero, betrayed him, he couldn't stand the hate any longer. It was because his friends had encouraged him to keep going, did he remain at home and fight the evils of his world. But their betrayal had finally crossed the line. That's why Danny ran away, and it was all because people didn't trust him enough, to see him as the hero he really was, and it was all because he was a ghost."

The other two heroes stared in awe and disbelief as Superboy walked away to go and try to find, the now upset, Danny.

*Time Skip*

The dark blue and purple clouds flew by in blurs aginst the midnight blue and black sky as Danny stared out of the window in the bioship.

Danny sat the closest to the entrance of the bioship on the left side (if you were looking through the center of the room, with back towards the main window). (Going around the room- from Danny moving forward) Then Beast Boy, Impulse, Robin, Kid Flash, Nightwing, Aqualad, Artemis, and Superboy. Then, of course, Miss Martian at the 'driver's seat'.

There was little chatter on the ship, with Impulse, Beast Boy, and Robin making a little conversation. Kid Flash and Artemis were arguing/bickering again. Lastly, Aqualad and Miss Martian were having a quiet conversation as well.

Danny's attention went to his uniform, before looking back out the window. After Danny had joined the Team (and had to explain that he has both a human AND ghost form), Nightwing and Martian Manhunter had decided to create a uniform for his human form (He still has his usual Hazmat suit for his Ghost form). The uniform looked similar to that of his old blue DOOM game suit (it actually looks similar to a blue TRON suit). The suit was almost completely black with ice/frost blue accents. The blue accents were on his shoulders, his sides (kind of like Beast Boy's), the sides of his arms, the outer sides of his legs, and the underside of the gloves, along with blue lines across the soles of his black boots. He also occasionally wore a black cloak depending on the mission. Today, the cloak wasn't needed.

Danny remained deathly quiet as he stared out the window thinking back to the conversation from two days earlier.

"So now that, that question is out of the way, we're back to where we started," GL declared.

Danny turned back to Canary who, in turn, asked, "Danny who exactly was Pariah Dark? What did he do that was so unforgivable?"

The former took a monotone/deadpan look and replied with, "No."

Batman narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean 'no'?"

Danny turned to him, "No, I've told you too much already."

That's when GL finally blew it, "Listen, kid. You need to tell us who Pariah Dark is/was whatever. Because we've only seen ADULTS act that violently to an old enemy and that's rarely. You're a TEEN! A TEEN shouldn't have reacted that badly to something! Which means that whatever this/that guy did, you need to spill NOW. Because if this guy were to somehow 'show up' we don't want to have to be responsible for the destruction of property and the deaths or injuries of innocent people! Now spill!"

The Leaguers all blinked at GL's outburst, but they all nodded in agreement.

Danny glared at the green leaguer and retorted (spat back really), "Because if I tell you, you'll just be disappointed! And just like everybody else, you'll try to talk me into 'owning up to my responsibility', 'accepting the way things are', and try to make me do something, that I DON'T WANT TO DO!"

The Leaguers stepped back in surprise, almost dumbfounded, at his reaction to GL's outburst, but Batman wouldn't give in..

"Explain, now."

Danny's eyes glowed bright neon green/white as he hopped off the bed and practically snarled back. "You know what?! Forget it! I'm sick and tired of you trying to interrogate me all the damn time! I'll heal in a few hours, so don't even bother with the whole, you're still injured excuse! I wish you good night Justice League!"

Right before he walked out of the room, loosely holding his side, he turned to GL. "I hope you can forgive me for lashing out at you during our 'fight' and I wish you well," Danny said with a collective tone.

GL had wide eyes for a second before he nodded at Danny, who then turned and left the room. Leaving behind a group of confused/irritated Leaguers.

"Phantom!"

Danny quickly looked up to see everyone staring at him with worried looks.

"Are you alright?" Miss Martian asked.

Danny only nodded in response.

Everyone else looked towards one another, not wanting to upset him, the Team didn't push it.

After being on the bio-ship for more than an hour and a half, Miss Martian announced, "We're about five minutes out from our destination."

"Phantom go-"

But Danny stood up without a sound, stopping Nightwing in the middle of his sentence, and transformed into his Ghost form. He made his way to the center of the room and kneeled down to touch the floor of the bioship. His hands and eyes glowed blue as he turned the entire ship invisible to the outside world.

A while back, the Team discovered the difference between 'camouflage' and 'invisible/intangible'. Camouflage can still be detected and it causes a disturbance in the air, which some villains can see or detect, half the time causing their cover to be blown. So when they discovered Danny could make the entire ship invisible AND intangible, their recon and covert missions have been WAY more successful.

Nightwing looked at Miss Martian and Superboy, and all three of them shared worried and uneasy looks. But they did not act upon it.

"Team B get ready."

After about three minutes, Team B (now in stealth mode) were now ready to leave the bioship.

"Miss Martian link us up."

'Is everyone here?' Miss Martian asked via mind link.

'No,' Superboy answered.

Nightwing turned to Phantom and said out loud, "Phantom we need you to link up."

Phantom turned to Nightwing, sighed and nodded back. He closed his eyes and seemed to think for a minute before opening his eyes again and saying over the mind link, 'I'm here.'

'Phantom are you alright? You've been 'off' since the debriefing...No scratch that- You've been off for the past few days.' Kid Flash asked.

Phantom seemed to choose his words carefully before saying, 'I've just been having a rough week...'

Kid Flash nodded as if understanding, before turning his attention back to Nightwing.

'Team B, you're a go.'

Team B, then left the bioship and went to their designated positions.

'Team B in position,' Aqualad announced.

'Team A get ready,' Nightwing ordered.

After the bioship was left hovering over the warehouse (with Beast Boy and Phantom still inside), Team A left the bioship and began to sneak inside.

*Time Skip*

Team A was in position and was observing the Joker's 'helpers'. They were working busily at long tables covered in wires and pieces of metal. Others were busy walking/pushing around carts filled with what looked like completed mechanisms. As Team A looked on from the rafters, they quickly began to observe everything within the 'now inhabited' warehouse.

'Impulse stop getting distracted on the mission!' Artemis yelled over the mind link.

'I'm sorry if there are some really nice flowers around my position!'

'You two do not start, we need to stay focused on our miss-' Aqualad began.

'What do the flowers look like?' Beast Boy asked.

'They're actually pretty in a weird way, they're red like roses with-'

'Guys! The mission!' Kid Flash scolded.

'Hey, Danny what is with the whole silence thing?' Impulse asked.

'Yeah, what is with that lately? You've been quiet the entire time we've been on this mission. No, wait, ever since the debriefing! What's up?' Beast Boy asked.

The link was silent as everyone waited for a response. After a few seconds, they all heard a sigh over the link.

'Batman told me that the Team is being monitored by their mentors on this mission and he 'advises' me that I not do anything to endanger the mission nor the Team-'

'WHAT?!' Most of the Team yelled.

'Ow.' Danny replied.

'Sorry... but seriously?! Their monitoring us?!' Kid Flash exclaimed.

'Maybe they wish to see how well we interact with one another?' Aqualad suggested.

Everyone seemed to be thinking for a moment before Superboy interrupted their thoughts, 'Why would Batman think you would 'endanger the Team'? And you've been on plenty of missions before.'

'Yeah well, ever since that 'Green Lantern' incident, the League is having a tough time trusting me... Now can we please drop the subject? I would like to have one of OUR NORMAL mission conversations for once...'

'Fine... Hey, Robin? How's that training going?' Impulse asked teasingly, knowing the type of question would annoy Phantom.

Everyone could practically see him fuming.

Robin smiled knowing what Impulse was doing, so he played along.

'Pretty good, I think I finally got those spin kicks down.'

Everyone groaned (except Impulse, Robin, and Nightwing).

'Guys, stop messing with Danny,' Miss Martian intervened.

'Nice, I've been working on my back flips, they are actually coming along quite nicely.'

'NIGHTWING!' Miss Martian scolded.

Everyone ended up laughing silently, except for Superboy, Aqualad, Miss Martian, and Phantom.

'Haha very funny. You know what? I am so done with this conversation. Call me when you need back up.'

'Phantom?' Kid Flash asked teasingly. Nothing.

'Aww come on Danny, we were just-'

Just then Robin was interrupted by a blood-chilling voice, "Hello boys! How are we doing on progress, hmm?"

Team A immediately turned their attention to the center of the warehouse, as the one and only Joker came walking up to a table and picked up a metal piece to examine.

Joker was a tall, slender man, with chalk white skin, ruby red lips and a head of bright green hair falling down in a mop style. He was wearing a purple suit with a flower on his lapel, skinny leg pants, a skinny purple tie and a silver chain at his waist.

'Heads up, Joker is here,' Kid Flash said to everyone.

"Progress is doing very well sir! We should be done with all the devices in a matter of a few days-"

Joker slammed his fist on the table causing some of the minions to tremble in fear.

"NO!" But Joker quickly corrected himself and dusted off the invisible dust from his jacket. "I mean, no. That is unacceptable, I expect these to be done in a matter of hours, are we clear?" he asked the minion with an innocent smile.

"O-of course, sir!" the minion replied then quickly went back to work ordering people around.

The Joker turned around and walked further down the table, picking up two materials and playing with them.

"Ahh, such a fine piece to make such a wonderful display! Who knew that rare flowers and metals worked so beautifully together! Hahahaha!" The Joker laughed insanely.

That's when everything went wrong.

'SB LOOK OUT!' Artemis yelled.

Superboy suddenly came crashing through the warehouse and onto the opposite side of the building. Because of the amount of impact on the wall, the entire building shook, including where Team A was hiding. They quickly jumped off and they landed onto the floor of the warehouse below.

'What happened to stay put!?' Robin yelled over the mind link.

'Some guy spotted SB and shot at him with a weird looking gun!' Artemis explained quickly.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the children. How wonderful of you to swing by! I was just thinking of you, you know!"

'Phantom to Team A and B; what's going on down there?!'

Team B, rushed into the giant hole in the wall, to join Team A, who were now fighting off Joker's minions.

'Robin to Phantom; Our cover is blown, plan B has now been activated!'

'Nightwing should we move in!?' Beast boy asked.

'No! Stay in position until I say!'

The two Teams continued to fight off the minions and were winning. At least, until Joker's backups came running into the room, almost overrunning the Team.

Nightwing and Robin were back to back, Miss Martian and Artemis were fighting together, Kid Flash and Impulse were zooming through and knocking people unconscious, and lastly Aqualad and Superboy were fighting side by side.

'This isn't working!' Kid Flash yelled.

Nightwing quickly observed the situation and then came to a decision. 'Nightwing to Phantom and Beast Boy; Backup needed.'

Not even ten seconds later, a green hawk came diving through a window and attacked the closest people to it, which in is this case, was Artemis, and Miss Martian's group of minions.

Joker laughed saying, "Your backup was the kid shape-shifter?! HA! You children really do amuse me at times!"

"I wonder if you'll still be amused when I blow your head off..."

The Joker's smile seemed to falter as he turned his head slightly to see Phantom standing behind him with a glowing green hand pointed at the back of his head. (A/N: Just because Danny doesn't hurt humans doesn't mean he can't make threats) Joker's eyes seemed to flicker with fear for a second as he stared into the haunting neon toxic green eyes of the ghostly teenager.

The minions stopped attacking for a moment, all shocked to see Joker falter in his smile.

But then the Joker smiled (the minions immediately began to fight again) and said with pretending glee, "Why if it isn't good old' Casper!"

Phantom's face remained deadpan as he replied in a monotone voice, "Shut it, clown."

Joker fake pouted and said, "That wasn't very nice... But did Bird Boy over there know that I had back up too?"

Danny's eyes went wide as he turned intangible, to let the giant oversized hammer pass through him (almost a second too late).

He quickly flew into the air and turned to see a woman dressed in a black and red suit, with diamond patterns on her right thigh, left shin, right shoulder, and left forearm. Her skin was powered white, her lips were burgundy, she wore a black mask similar to that of Robin's, she wore red and black gloves and boots. And on top of her head was a 'Joker's hat' that was half red and black with a white cotton ball like things on the ends of each side.

"Took you long enough Harley dear!" Joker said with a sigh of annoyance.

The woman 'Harley' pouted, "I'm sorry Mistah J! But I had to deal with the transportation issue!"

Joker then turned his attention back to Phantom and said, "Casper! I'm sorry my dear boy, let me introduce you! This dear here is Harley Quinn. Harley meet Phantom, but I call him Casper."

Harley waved to Phantom with a smile on her face, "Hello cutie! Harley Quinn pleased to meetcha!"

Phantom face faulted at her remark, and asked over the mind link, 'Please do not tell me I have to fight her?'

'Sorry Phantom! Just try to hold her off as long as possible until one of us can come and take care of her!' Nightwing replied slightly amused.

"Harley if you would be a doll and handle Casper for me?" Joker asked.

Harley smiled and put the hammer on her shoulder as she walked towards Phantom. "Sure thing Puddin!"

Phantom dropped to the ground and got into a fighting position. Harley was the first to attack.

She charged towards him and swung the hammer at him.

"You know? You're actually kinda cute!"

He turned intangible and then shot her hammer away, leaving them both to fight hand-to-hand.

"Sorry, but I'm not planning on joining the dark side anytime soon!" Phantom said as he dodged her right punch.

Harley smiled brightly as she went to punch him again, but he blocked her easily. "Now you're just cuter!"

Phantom was officially creeped out by this woman, and it didn't help that he was blushing green now either.

She comically gasped and asked, "Is that your blush!? OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH!" She then squealed like a school girl and jumped up and down in delight.

Phantom didn't even have to turn to see Nightwing, Kid Flash, and Robin, he could just hear them laughing their butts off.

Joker watched in amusement as Harley fought Phantom, but then decided it was time to flee, for when he looked around, he saw that the children had AGAIN defeated all his 'helpers' and were now staring at the present fight. He laughed silently as he slipped into the shadows. 'Looks like I get to use Plan B after all...'

"Guys a little help here please!?" Phantom exclaimed at his laughing Team mates, some of them anyways.

Harley continued to fight and flirt with Phantom for the next two minutes of their battle. Harley went in for another punch, and Phantom was about to block it when she switched tactics and grabbed his arm and then pulled him closer to her, and she gave him a quick peck on the cheek before pushing him away.

"Ooh! You're cold blooded too?! You're just becoming more attractive by the minute!"

By the time Miss Martian was finally able to knock Harley unconscious, Phantom was blushing a deep forest green as he tried to wipe away the red lipstick on his cheek.

Phantom looked over and frowned and blushed even more at his teammates. Nightwing, Robin, and Kid Flash were almost howling with laughter. Impulse, Artemis, Beast Boy and Aqualad were smiling and trying to hold back laughter. While Superboy and Miss Martian just looked amused.

( *Watchtower*- Green Arrow and Flash were laughing their butts off; Superman, Martian Manhunter, and Aquaman smiled and chuckled; and Batman just looked mildly amused.)

After everyone had calmed down (a.k.a.- Nightwing, Robin, and Kid Flash), they began to move the unconscious minions to the walls of the warehouse, before tying them up.

'Besides Joker escaping, that's pretty much everything. Let's head back to base so we can report what we were able to find. Miss Martian, you can unlink us now,' Nightwing announced.

They all walked towards the hole in the warehouse wall and were all chatting quietly amongst each other. Superboy, Aqualad, and Kid Flash were in the front discussing the weapon used on Superboy earlier. Beast Boy, Impulse, and Robin were in the middle, as they all looked around for what could be their souvenir. Lastly, Miss Martian, Artemis, and Nightwing were near the back, having a conversation about what Joker was up to. Phantom was in the back, and right when they were about to exit, the Joker came-out-of-nowhere. "Going somewhere children?" he asked with an evil grin.

Everyone quickly got into a fighting stance, but the Joker only said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk. Now, now, now let's not resort to fighting. I only wanted to talk."

Nightwing stepped towards him and said, "Sorry Joker, but your little game is over."

The Joker then gave him an evil and insane smile as he retorted, "Sorry bird boy, but the joke is on you!"

With his advanced hearing, Phantom was able to hear a metal CLINK come from overhead. He looked up and saw a metal ring falling right above Nightwing, and time seemed to slow down. Phantom, being the closest to him, pushed him out of the way into the others (where most of his teammates then fell down), but wasn't able to escape the ring's path himself. It landed with a loud BANG and CLANK, only for Phantom to realize that the metal ring was 6x6 feet and it actually encircled him. Upon closer inspection, the ring seemed to be big and bulky, but when it landed on the ground, it sounded as though it was hollow.

"What?!"

"Or should I say, the Joke is on HIM! HAHAHA!" the Joker laughed evilly, as he pressed a button on the remote in his right hand. The Team sat up in time to watch with Phantom, as the metal ring opened to reveal flowers that looked similar to that of rose blossoms, with purple-trimmed black stems and leaves.

Phantom's eyes widened in shock as he realized what Joker planned to do. As such, he tried to jump out of the metal ring, emphasis on 'tried'. Because before he could even move a muscle, red electricity seemed to lunge at him from all sides, keeping him from escaping the metal contraption.

At least, until the effects of the flowers kicked in.

He collapsed onto the floor (first to his knees, then onto his side) as he gritted his teeth against the pain. It felt as though acid was being rubbed onto his skin, and a fire was running through his veins, burning and spreading throughout his entire body. And the only thing he could make sense of through the agonizing pain was the sickly, sweet smell of the blood-colored blossoms. Eventually, the pain became too much, and he screamed.

"PHANTOM!" The Team exclaimed as they watched in horror as the arcs of red electricity raced around his convulsing body. Faint, red steam rolled off of the strange flowers, matching the steam now rolling off of their teammate. They go into fighting positions and got ready to sprint towards their friend, only for the Joker to hold up a finger and wag it side to side.

"No, no, no children! Not unless you want me to end his afterlife sooner..." Joker threatened, putting a small pocket knife next to Phantom's neck.

The Team, in an attempt to save their teammate, stopped immediately, leaving them to resort to sending glares towards the Joker.

'Nightwing what do we do?!' Miss Martian and Artemis asked in almost full panic after the link was established again.

Joker sent them a cruel smile, before turning his attention towards Phantom. He then clicked a button on the remote in hand causing the ring to close.

Phantom was left gasping for air as soon as the flowers and electricity's effects were cut off. He laid there, slightly curling in on his side, taking in raspy breaths, and wincing or gritting his teeth at the every so often flickers of red electricity, that arced across his body. The pain from the blossoms still lingering, but not nearly as badly as just a few seconds ago.

The Joker then took the flower that was in his jacket pocket, the flower matching the same ones that were within the metal ring. He then put the knife into his left hand, along with the flower, and used his free hand to tightly grab Phantom's chin and turn the other's head towards him.

'NIGHTWING!' Everybody yelled.

'Activate Protocol 174!'

(A/N: Random protocol that we chose a random number for...)

"Do no know what this is my boy?" Joker asked as he stared into the dull neon green eyes of the hurt boy, with the cruel smile plastered on his face. "This here is a wonderful flower named the Muhjah. Its name is Arabic, meaning 'heart's blood' or 'soul'. It took awhile for me to find it, especially since it's location is apparently so secretive. But that's understandable since it is one of the very few rare plants that are actually compatible with weapons of destruction AND as a BONUS, they have 'anti-supernatural' abilities. Did you know that they're even rumored to have vanquished spirits of the undead? Hmmm... Would you like to test that theory, my ghostly friend?"

He then took the flower and attempted to rub the petals against the other's cheek, causing the other to try and pull back with a quiet hiss of pain. But the Joker held onto his chin and kept him from moving away, causing the flower's thorned leaves to scrape against Phantom's cheek. The scrape, or small cut, was bleeding green ectoplasm, but only just barely.

Joker released Phantom, as the latter began to cough as the sickly sweet smell came close to his face. He coughed into his gloved hand when he felt something thick and slightly sticky. He brought his hand away from his mouth and saw green liquid within his palm.

The Joker still had his cruel smile as stood up to look at the Team, but as he did his smile turned into a frown. He quickly turned back around as to find the missing Team member, but he turned too late. Because as soon as he turned around, a fist came flying towards his face.

The Joker flew through the air and hit the nearby wall next to him. He stood up shakily with rage filled eyes as turned towards the Team. "I warned you not to interfere, children! Now see what happens when you don't listen!" the Joker exclaimed. He held up the remote, but before he could press it Kid Flash quickly swiped it away from him.

The Joker smiled and laughed like a mad man. "You think that'll stop me?! HARLEY!"

"OK MISTAH J!"

"Quick! Grab Pha-"

But before Nightwing could finish his sentence, Phantom's agony filled screams filled the air again. Somehow Harley had gotten the ring to open back up again, and this time, it stayed open.

The Team quickly knocked Joker unconscious and then Kid Flash and Impulse took care of Harley.

They then turned their attention back to Phantom, who had now tapped into his 'Ghostly-Wail'. After what seemed like dragging minutes, they finally had gotten Phantom to stop using his Ghostly Wail.

Nightwing looked at the red electricity and the dark flowers, and then back to his screaming teammate. He became more worried when he noticed that the other's screams were now getting quieter. That's when Nightwing noticed how badly the situation was getting, because as he looked on, Phantom began to flicker in and out of tangibility. 'Dammit!' he thought.

After some quick thinking, Nightwing quickly told Miss Martian to call the bioship next to the warehouse. He then turned to Phantom and carefully (but quickly) stepped over the metal ring, relieved that the red electricity nor the flowers effected him. He quickly knelt down next to Phantom. "Hang on Phantom, we're going to get you out of here!" He then turned to the rest of the Team, "Aqualad and Kid Flash, go get the medical supplies ready on the ship! Superboy come help me with Phantom! Everyone else gets on the ship! And be ready to leave immediately!"

Everyone quickly ran around and did as they were told, everyone was on the ship and ready to go by the time Nightwing and Superboy were ready to get Phantom.

"Alright, we're about to move you Phantom. I'm going to pick you up as quickly and gently as possible and give you to Superboy so he can carry you to the ship."

Phantom bit down another scream as he gave Nightwing a faint nod to let him know that he heard the other.

Nightwing mumbled, "Well here goes everything..."

He quickly reached for Phantom and quickly picked him up, only to have him scream in pain as he seemed to pass through an invisible force field.

Nightwing quickly passed him off to Superboy who in turn ran/jogged with Nightwing towards the bioship.

They quickly took him into the room in the back, that worked as the 'medical room'. Miss Martian then quickly took off and set the coordinates to home. Aqualad proceeded to call the League.

"Aqualad to Justice League. This is a-"

"We are already aware of the situation Aqualad. Red Tornado, Dr. Fate, and myself are already on our way to the Medical Bay on Mount Justice. Superman, Batman, and the Flash are on their way to the warehouse to arrest and obtain the Joker and Harley Quinn. Martain Manhunter out."

The Team stared in shock at the holo-screen of the window.

"I guess it's a good thing that our mentors decided to watch this mission..." Impulse said breaking the silence.

*Time Skip*

Everyone sat in long silence for about a half hour, before Artemis decided to speak up, "That was absolutlely terrifying... I don't think I've ever seen somebody react so badly to something like that before. I mean, that was worse than Superman's weakness to Kryptonite or Martian's weakness to fire."

The present members all nodded their heads in agreement. Aqualad then added, "I agree. Whatever that flower was, the Muhjah, as Joker called it, must've been extremely hard to find, and it seemed as though it was only effective on ghosts and spirits."

There was a sniffle after another long silence and everyone turned to see Beast Boy with unshed tears in his eyes.

"Beast Boy?" Miss Martian put the bioship on auto-pilot before going over to Beast Boy and kneeling in front of him. "Gar, what's wrong?"

Gar looked up at her and seemed to struggle for words, eyes filled with sadness and pain.

"It's just that..."

Everyone's attention was now on a figiting Beast Boy.

"After mom had died...You guys took me in and you became my new family. And... ever since then, I never wanted to see my family get hurt ever again... and I never ever wanted to see you guys in pain... But today... t-today Danny-"

The Team watched with sad eyes as tears started to fall down Gar's green colored cheeks.

"H-he was in s-s-so much pain a-and I f-froze up. I-I c-couldn't do anything b-but helplessly w-watch as he was almost t-tortured t-to d-d-death r-right in front of m-me... A-and I k-knew that I s-should've helped o-or a-at least t-tried to s-save him..."

The tears were almost non-stop now, and now even Artemis and Miss Martian both had tears in their eyes'. Miss Martain hugged him as he cried/sobbed into her shoulder, "I-I almost saw him d-die, S-sis. M-my b-big brother almost d-died right in front of me, j-just like Mom..."

They hugged each other as Gar cried and M'gann quietly let her tears fall as well.

They kept hugging each other until Nightwing walked in and said, "Miss Martian..."

She looked up at him and wiped her tears away, "Yes?" she asked.

He gave her a sad look but announced, "We need your help..."

Gar looked up, but Artemis was the one to ask the question. "Is he alright?"

Nightwing sighed. "He's still in a lot of pain, and we still don't know how badly those flowers had affected him. But he'll be fine once we get back to base."

Gar seemed somewhat okay with his answer and turned around to look out the window.

Miss Martian gave Nightwing a look, but nodded and followed him out of the room.

Once they entered the room Miss Martian couldn't help but feel heartbroken at the situation.

Danny (still in Phantom form) had his eyes shut tight and his breathing was uneven. He was still trembling from pain, but not only that, he was now shivering every so often, as if the room were cold. Luckily he wasn't screaming, only an every so often whimper.

Superboy sat near him with a worried and concerned look on his face.

"How long has he been like this?" she asked.

"The shivering just started about twenty minutes ago, besides that, he's been like this since he got on the ship," Superboy answered worriedly.

She looked back at him and then at Nightwing. The later looked back at her and answered her unasked question, "We need you to make him unconscious. He absolutely refuses to go to sleep, and we're scared that if he remains conscious, he'll deplete all his remaining energy, causing him to pass out from energy depletion and turn human, and we'll have no idea how he'll react in his human form."

Miss Martian seemed to think about it for a second but reluctantly decided to do it.

She went to the end of the table/bed where Danny's head was. She placed her hands on the sides of his head, only to immediately pull them off. She looked up and said with concern in her voice, "He's warm..."

He nodded and said, "Yeah, we know. That's another reason why we need him to rest. We think he may be running a very high fever and it'll only get worse if he doesn't rest."

She looked back at Danny and placed her hands on the sides of his head again, before closing her eyes and concentrating.

She flinched but didn't remove her hands, "He's trying to keep me out."

Nightwing and Superboy watched as she concentrated harder.

After about a minute later, Danny's entire body seemed to relax, the trembling reduced to barely a shiver and his breathing evened out ever so slightly.

Miss Martian opened her eyes and turned to Nightwing and Superboy and she nodded her head, "He's out."

The other two both sighed in relief before all three made their way back to the front and sat in silence as they waited to arrive back to the cave.

*Time Skip*

Red Tornado, Dr. Fate, and Martian Manhunter watched as the Bioship landed in the Hanger.

Nightwing was the first one out of the ship, with Superboy behind him, carrying an unconscious Phantom in his arms.

The three Leaguers quickly jogged/floated up to them and Nightwing explained why he was unconscious. Superboy hesitantly passed Phantom off to Dr. Fate, and he along with Red Tornado left towards the Medical Bay.

The Team watched with both relief and concern, but Martian Manhunter simply told them, "Young Phantom will be alright. As far as Dr. Fate knows, Phantom has dealt with these types of situations before."

Almost everyone's eyes widened at that. But Superboy was the one to step up and ask furiously, "Then why didn't he tell us how to stop the flowers from hurting him?!"

Martian Manhunter simply remained passive as he answered. "If you were surrounded by your worst physical weakness as well as being electrocuted to the point of immobility, would you be able to speak?"

Superboy opened his mouth to speak, but then thought against it and just kept his mouth shut.

"So how would you get rid of those flowers? And what were they really?" Artemis asked.

Martian Manhunter sighed and said, "Sadly Joker was telling the truth about what those flowers were called and what they were capable of. Only I believe Dr. Fate said something along the lines of, 'Phantom calls them by a different name'. As for how to get rid of the flowers or the effects, that is beyond my knowledge."

Everyone was in an awkward silence before Manhunter told them to go get some rest and to try to relax.

But all they did was go and sit down in the Living room, each one thinking about what happened that evening.

After a while they, each began to exchange what they noticed and everyone began throwing around theories.

"So you think those flowers may have not just been a trap for Danny? But Joker is somehow using them for new weapons and such?... To be honest, I can see Joker doing that... Maybe even the Injustice League too," Robin said.

"Noted," Beast Boy said quietly next to him.

"Speaking of which!"

Everyone turned to see Impulse pull out a motorcycle helmet from out-of-nowhere. "SOUVENIERS!"

Kid Flash and few others smiled at Impulse's care-free attitude.

Then Red Tornado walked into the Living Room.

Most of the Team stood up and waited with baited breaths for him to speak.

Red Tornado observed the Team's reactions before announcing, "Phantom will be alright, he's resting now..."

Everyone released a breath they didn't realize they were holding. Some members turned to others and smiled while others just looked relieved.

Superboy walked up to Red Tornado and asked, "Can we see him?"

Red Tornado was silent for a moment before he nodded his head.

Superboy, along with Beast Boy, were the first ones out of the room, jogging towards the Medical Bay.

*Time Skip*

Superboy slowly entered the Medical Bay and looked to where Phantom was laying down.

He was laying down on the bed with his eyes closed. He was still in his Ghost form, white hair messy, hazmat suit somewhat scratched (from the fight with Harley), and he the cut that had been on his cheek was now completely gone.

As Superboy walked closer, Phantom opened his eyes and turned his head towards the other. Superboy almost gasped at how dim and dull his eyes were.

"Hey..." Superboy said with a concerned look.

Phantom gave him a sad smile and said, "Hey."

"How are you feeling?"

"I feel like I just got hit by a truck, in other words, I feel like crap... Which brings me to the question of 'why do I keep getting hurt in this dimension'?" Phantom answered with a chuckle.

Superboy had a small smile and gave a small chuckle as well, causing Phantom to smile.

Superboy watched as the transformation rings formed and turned him back into his human form. Connor quickly shot towards him, only to stop as Danny only smiled again.

"Sorry, but it was getting hard to keep up that form..."

Connor sighed in relief and then nodded his head.

"So what-"

"DANNY!"

Connor was interrupted by a certain green child tackling Danny with a hug.

The 16-year-old halfa hesitated, but sat up and returned the hug and asked, "G-Gar? What are-"

Danny stopped mid-sentence as he looked down and saw the small 13-year-old crying into his shoulder. A flashback of the 'Nasty Burger' incident popped into his head and the death's of his friends and family. Danny remained shocked for a few moment, before finally snapping out of it and hugged Gar back tightly, finally understanding why the shape-shifter was acting like he was.

"Shhh...It's alright Gar, everything's alright now..."

Gar continued to cry into his shoulder as he said, "I-I t-thought you w-were going t-to d-d-die..."

Danny frowned and pulled Gar away from him, the other still sitting on the edge of the bed, and blue eyes locked with tear-filled green eyes. "I would never do that to you Gar. I will never let you go through the pain of losing friends and family ever again..."

He sniffed, "Y-you p-promise?"

Danny gave Gar a small smile and answered back, "I promise..."

Gar had a sad smile and hugged Danny again. They broke out of their hug as some of the other Team members came through the door, along with Martian Manhunter, Red Tornado, and Dr. Fate.

Danny smiled at the Team, and they all returned a smile.

Miss Martian gave him a small hug and said, "We're all so happy that you're alright..."

They broke out of their hug and Danny was about to say thanks but was interrupted by a sudden cough. The Team members looked confused and worried for a second, but it soon turned into fear as green and red was in Danny's palm as he brought his hand away from his mouth.

Dr. Fate quickly began to look around until he spotted the souvenir Impulse still had in hand. He quickly snatched the helmet from Impulse, ignoring the 'HEY!' that followed.

He reached into the helmet and pulled out one of the dreadful flowers from before and a note attached.

Dear Children,

I do hope you enjoyed your little victory, but just know that I'm not done with my little game yet... We still have one more round to go!

TILL NEXT TIME! ~JOKER (and Harley)

P.S.~ Tell Ol' Casper I said 'hi'! HAHAHAHAHA!

Dr. Fate quickly incinerated the flower, giving him the immediate effect he wanted. Danny had stopped coughing and was now simply panting while the Team just looked on in pure horror or concern.

Dr. Fate walked up to Danny and offered him a tissue/napkin.

Danny looked up at him and hesitated before accepting the napkin, "Thanks..."

He quickly began to wipe the blood off his hand and mouth.

"What were those flowers and would you even use them for?" Someone asked.

"Those flowers were used back during the times of Witch-hunting and burnings of Salem, Massachusetts. They were used for warding off evil spirits or ghosts. They were mostly used during witch burnings so spirits and ghosts wouldn't be able to save their 'mistress'."

Everyone looked at him with curious faces.

He sighed and stated, "Long-story-short, I entered a portal that once brought me to Salem Massachusetts during the witch hunting century. Let's just say I learned the hard way what those flowers could do..."

Most of the Team winced at the thought but nodded in understanding.

Dr. Fate approached him and asked/stated, "You know the flowers by a different name correct?"

Danny nodded his head. "Yeah, back in my old dimension they were known as Blood Blossoms."

Aqualad walked forward and asked, "'Were'?"

"Yep, they are now completely extinct..."

Everyone's eyes widened at that answer, but Nightwing asked the next question, "Then how did Joker get his hands on them?"

Dr. Fate and Danny shared a look, and Dr. Fate began to explain, "Now you must remember that Phantom is from a different dimension and just because something there doesn't exist-"

"-doesn't mean it can't exist here." Danny finished.

The Team had to think about their explanation, but ended up accepting it in the end.

"So what exactly do those flowers do to a, uh, ghost?" Robin asked.

Danny took a sharp intake of breath but did answer his question. "A Blood Blossom, when used against a ghost, IS meant to ward them off. But should a ghost enter, say, a circle of Blood Blossoms? The flowers begin to, uh, 'disassemble' them if you will..."

The Team all just had confused faces, but Kid Flash was the one to voice everyone's thoughts, "Huh?"

"Oh boy...umm..." Danny gave Dr. Fate a look that clearly stated 'a little help here?'. But Dr. Fate only shrugged, Danny face-faulted at that and said, "Vi estas amikoj kun la Tempo Spirito mem kaj vi ne scias?" (You're friends with the Time Ghost himself and you don't know?)

All the Team members (figuratively) tilted their heads sideways. They already know that Danny can speak a few different languages, but they still just have to wonder sometimes.

Dr. Fate simply shrugged again, causing Danny to huff and roll his eyes before the latter then turned towards the Team and began to explain.

"Scientifically speaking. A Blood Blossom, um, releases its own form of a sort-of 'toxin' that basically feeds on or counteracts a ghost's ecto-signature or energy. The ghost then begins to, um, dismantle or disintegrate, slowly and painfully feeding off of (you could even say 'stealing') a ghost's ectoplasmic energy. Depending on the type of ghost, the process can either be quick or slow, painful or less painful."

"What does it do in your case?" Martian Manhunter asked, already guessing the answer.

Danny answered with no hesitation, "Since I'm a half-ghost, the process is slow but extremely painful. And not only do the Blood Blossoms steal my ectoplasmic energy-"

"They take away your life-force as well. That's it isn't it? That's the reason why you react so badly to them..." Connor asked.

Danny looked away, but his expression was all the Team needed to see, to confirm Connor's theory.

A long silence took hold of the room.

"Well, I think that's enough excitement for one day. I do believe its time for you young heroes to head home and to bed?" Red Tornado asked, breaking the uncomfortable silence.

The Team all shared looks with one another and then looked back at the Leaguers. Impulse walked up to Nightwing and asked, "If it's crash with you and our mentor's, we'd like to stay the night so we can all 'hang out', you know?"

Nightwing and the other Leaguers all shared a look, but Nightwing ended up answering, "That's fine."

The Team immediately brightened up and started to help Danny off of the bed, then they all left the Medical Bay with excited faces. Thus, leaving the Leaguer's and Nightwing with amused expressions.

For the rest of the night, the Team hung out. M'gann and Danny made dinner, the younger members had a video game tournament, then the older members had one, resulting in Kid Flash vs. Robin. At least, until Gar accidently started a pillow fight- sorry- war, and after they had calmed down, they all sat down and watched movies together. And overall, they all enjoyed each other's company, thus letting them completely put the day's events towards the back of their minds.

HOLY MOLY THAT TOOK FOREVER TO WRITE! WE'RE SO SORRY IT'S SO LONG!

ANYWAYS! Explanations: Okay, 1.) Danny's Suit: We wanted Danny to have some kind of 'suit' or 'outfit' for when he isn't Phantom because it would not be wise to have him in 'civilian' wear while out on missions. 2.) Joker: Joker is actually based on the Joker from Batman: The Animated Series personality wise that is. In our opinion, we didn't really like the Joker's personality in Young Justice. 3.) Harley Quinn: We felt as though it would be kind of fun to bring Harley in, even if it wasn't for very long. We just thought we may be one of those small 'comical' characters within the story. 4.)Blood Blossoms: This was requested by one of our fellow readers and we do hope that it was enough to satisfy them as well as thank them for the idea. 5.)Why the effects reacted so badly and so long: Danny pretty much explained the 'reacted so badly' part. But we'll explain further; we didn't want the solution to be SO simple. Like 'eat the flower and it's over'...because that wouldn't be as suspenseful to read nor enjoyable to read. Another thing is that we wanted the effects to affect him longer because, a. he's half-ghost doesn't matter if he's human or not, and b. we wanted it to be at least a bit more realistic. Come on, it's not like someone's going to be able to walk around and just be okay after an accounter like that.

Answers to Reviews time:

Ethan Demas: Yeah sorry about... couldn't really find the right words to put there...may fix it later...XD

NoSignalBlueScreen: Thank you so much! Ecto: Yeah it was REALLY hard to try to get those fights scenes down. And as for the whole 'heart-stopping' thing, it was originally meant to be a flashback, but I made the mistake of putting it in the present. Deep apologies for that...

SuperheroFangirl: Hope you liked the Blood Blossoms! Thanks for the idea by the way!

etrigan the demon: Unfortunately, we had no place to input that, BUT! we're getting to the major plot point and it does involve what is happening back in Amity Park!

TheGirlWithQuirks: Okay...Silver: I guess I have to answer this since... (*Ecto fuming/ashamed*)... yeah... Okay so to explain that this is our first time working together on a story so it was kind of rough in the beginning. 2.) We have never had experiences like that of Danny...so it was EXTREMELY hard to write that note... so we're deeply sorry if it came off as a suicide note, that was not our intention, so great apologies.

If you have any questions please either PM or Review! Suggestions and requests are welcome!

OKAY! Guess that's everything for now! PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!

Until Next Time! :) :D
