DanPhantom1, thanks.
sapphireswimming, yup. I really wanted to keep Danny in the loop. I almost made it so he has to recover his memories, but this is a story about Sam and the ghost powers so that would be over-riding that. Glad that you are enjoying it.
Hellbreaker, it was more of I wanted the story to center on Sam mostly and having him with issues and her having issues just seemed too clashy if you will. Also, yeah, I got inspired so I began the next chapter.
Danny looked out the window as Lancer continued to talk. Sam had left a few minutes ago as screaming was heard down the hall from them. It was another ghost, or so she said it was. He couldn't figure out how she knew that when it could have just as easily been a bug or something. Women did scream at creepy crawlers. Looking back to the front of the room he sighed. This was boring.
Meanwhile Sam rushed toward the large green mosquito, the large blood sucking animal dodging her at every turn. She had managed to save one of the teachers from it in the school building, but as soon as she got the thing outside it had attempted to fight, the shock from her appearing wearing off. She had been pleasantly surprised that she had managed to turn her and the bug intangible, but equally ticked when it wore off faster than she thought. She winced at the thought of the giant hole in the roof of the school. It was in that moment that the bug shot lasers from it's multiple eyes.
The Goth wasn't new to the whole hero business, but she was an infant with her powers. She had yet to control them fully, though Danny and Tucker had assisted her in learning for the last few weeks. Lucky for them the ghost attacks had been kept to a minimal. Falling back from the blast she looked up in time to see the bug shoot something slimy and green at her, the goo forming a net that wrapped tightly around her. Hitting the ground she found a pair of ice blue eyes watching her in the distance. Danny was still in class, his shocked expression changing to one of nervousness. She couldn't tell why he would be nervous, not like anyone knew who she was... He chose that moment to raise his hand as she forced her arms up to remove the net. It didn't work at first, but as she powered up, her frustration making her more powerful for a moment she was able to remove the net, the green good falling around her in a puddle.
With quick thinking she noticed the wires on the poles just yards away from the school. Smirking she took off, the bug in quick pursuit behind her. "Bug..." Flying out of the way of the speeding insect she smirked bigger as it hit the wires, quickly electrocuting it. "Zapper." But that wasn't all that happened. The bug exploded in a large green flash of light. To the shock and dismay of the raven haired ghost fighter a million little bugs, miniature to the original, flew away from her in a large glowing flock. "Just great. I thought I was done with the damn bugs."
Sam walked over just as the guys were talking, well, it was more like Danny was complaining as he held his nose, while Tucker stood there spraying himself with something that looked like gas. Moving closer she heard him say, "I call it Foley... by Tucker Foley. I made it myself." He sounded proud, but as soon as she got closer to him she gagged. "I made it to combine with one's natural scent to make something both sweet and manly." He sprayed a little more and Sam waited, the feeling in her stomach causing her to pause. "And it smells different to everyone."
"Well, Tucker," the Goth said approaching them. "I think it smells like a sweaty cookie." Danny named another smell he was getting from it and even with both of their disgusting images he still smiled.
"By choice I smell like those," was his final word about the smell before he said, putting it in his locker, "The ladies will be swarming soon enough." At that the crowd around them began to part as the Queen of Casper High made her way down the halls. Beside her stood Dash, the jock that seemed to find great joy in tormenting Danny while Paulina had so much fun harassing her. As she passed Danny drooled, Sam watching the jock and queen with open hostility. The funny thing was that while Paulina continued on Dash stopped at his locker, a small look around ensuring that no one saw inside the puke green container. They walked by just as Paulina made a sound.
"Hey, you are blemishing my flawless skin!" she muttered darkly to a spot on her arm. Sam blinked before making the motion for crazy. They continued on until Tucker stopped, the techno geek staring at the sign above one particular door. It was the nurse's office. Sam sighed, pulling out a bag.
"He hates hospitals," she stated, Danny nodding in understanding.
"But, that's just the nurse's office, nothing like a hospital." Tucker shook his head. "How?"
"Same smell, same clothing and people always are in pain when they're there!" Sam just shook her head as she handed the bag to Danny. The former halfa took it and placed it on his friend's head. They walked past the door, Sam soothing the unnerved male. At that moment someone walked by, Mikey, the redhead smelling the air next to Tucker before making a face. The geek took off the bag with a sigh. "That and all of them have pointy sharp needles."
"Does anyone smell snicker-doodles and gym socks?" Sam smacked her head while Danny and Tucker stated the dark skinned male's new invention, though Danny looked less than pleased about the product. Mikey walked off, his look of disgust melting to one of pity for the man with delusions. At that same moment the Goth's mouth flew open and a small bit of blue escaped. Danny blinked. How had he never noticed that? With his memories restored he still found himself thrown by things that happened to the Goth, like it was something new and yet after he saw it he remembered more about his time as a halfa.
"Is Paulina glowing or am I just now noticing her shining skin?" The pair of males looked to where the Hispanic teen stood leaning toward the lockers. She was muttering something about a bug bite, Danny and Sam looking at each other. He had seen the bug, but he hadn't seen when she had accidentally multiplied them.
"Fuck," the raven haired teen muttered as she watched as pandemonium occurred as student after student was attacked but the flying green ghost bugs. Screams of pain and fear filled the air while several students began to run, trying to escape a fate that they would never be able to since the predator was a ghost. Running to a nearby room she hollered to the pair of males, the pair running to ensure that no one entered the room she had just rushed into. Moments later she flew out, flying across the school capturing several of the tiny pests, but she had a really bad feeling that it was too late. Heading back to her two friends she stated she thought she had all of them, but before she could finish the sentence Dash rushed past them, several of the bugs hitting him just as he hit a door with his face.
Sam grimaced, the door leading to the boys' bathroom, not a place that she was allowed in. She needed to find out what was going on with Dash, but at the same time she wasn't going in the boys' bathroom.
"I'll go," Danny stated walking past them and toward the occupied room. Peeking his head in he felt a chill that wasn't coming from the hallway. "Dash, um, I know that I don't really care about you, but um, are you feeling okay?" There was a groan followed by Dash informing him that he really didn't feel like taking to the raven haired male. Before the former halfa could make a comment two blasts came from inside the stall, both just inches from his body. "Shit!" Taking a step back he managed to avoid the explosion as the door splintered before flying everywhere. Before him stood Dash, a monster Dash.
"Get the hell away!" he thundered reaching for the human man before him. Sam chose that moment to rush in, eyes closed, grabbed the halfa and was gone leaving Dash in the bathroom slamming his fists into whatever he could get a hold of.
"Sorry, I should have gone in." He shook his head at her, the young male smiling. He was just relieved that she had come when she had.
"We're cool," he said as they watched the door to the bathroom shake. "But we might want to get away from here." Sam nodded, taking hold of the dark skinned male before disappearing with the pair of males outside. There was something bothering the halfa about being in there, but she knew that getting them out of there was making her feel a little better... for now.
