"Ilch."

"What?"

"Just… Ilch."

I'd come to the training room like Robin said to, where Tucker was laying on the ground in some kind of twist, Robin standing over him.

It'd only been a couple days since I "joined", but Robin used those days to integrate me into life here.

"What's ilch?" he asks.

"An expression of ughhh," responds Tucker, unraveling from his position.

"I didn't say you could stop," Robin snarks, putting a hand on his hip.

"You didn't say I couldn't."

"Then I'm telling you now."

"I'm telling you-"

"Will both of you shut up?" shouts Artemis from the other side of the training room, where she and Jazz are doing… something… on a bunch of bars.

"ILCH!" They both screech. Tucker and Robin look at each other, then shrug.

"A hundred pushups," Robin says to break the silence.

"Are you kidding me? Maybe no."

Robin just shrugs and pulls Tucker's ever-present PDA from his bag. He turns it on and puts the brightness all the way up. "The longer you take, the more battery you lose."

Tucker gives him the most petrifying glare. "I'm going to do these hundred pushups and use my amazing new muscles to kill you."

Robin just laughs. "87%!"

He gets on the ground and pushes one, two, three.

I wonder if anyone is ever going to notice me.

Tucker gets to thirty before stopping for a break, to which Robin taunts, "82…"

He goes again.

"Hey," Robin calls over to Artemis and Jazz, who are doing pull ups now. "Do you know if Danny's coming? He was supposed to be here like ten minutes ago. Hey, I didn't say stop. 80%!"

"Um, right here," I say, waving a hand.

Robin twirls around before smirking. "Um, invisible."

I glance at my hand. It's there… Oh, guess I would be able to see myself, huh. I switch into visibility. "Sorry."

He waves it off. "Let's just get this party started. What'd'ya want to do?"

I shrug. "I um, have super strength. I can fly. Don't think I need pushups or laps."

Robin holds up a finger and turns back to Tucker, who'd paused again. "36%!"

"That's not true!" he cries.

He glances at the screen. "Oh, right, my bad. 63!"

Tucker groans and does some more, starting to pant.

Robin turns back to me. "So you want to do some power training?"

I shrug. "I guess so, sure."

He withdraws a remote from his belt and clicks a button. Then he points to a screen that had turned on. "Want to start with speed? Fly the track." I now see the track on the ceiling marked by a bunch of rings. I ask about them. "They measure speed. Might want to take off the cape. They tend to get caught."

I grin and unclasp it, tossing it over a bench.

"ONE HUNDRED!" shouts Tucker, collapsing on the ground. "How's my baby?"

Robin laughs. "About 86. Turned it off. But only nine minutes! Foley record."

Tucker groans and snatches back his device.

"Now you go," Robin addresses me.

I launch up and wait for his mark. "GO!" he shouts from below.

In a flash I start flying, carefully avoiding smashing into the rings. The ground below becomes a blur as I go faster and faster, my hair flying out behind me and my legs morphing again. You know, I thought about this, and they probably do that because flapping legs slow you down. A weightless tail doesn't.

"OKAY!" shouts Robin from below. "THAT'S PROBABLY GOOD! COME BACK!"

I slow down and fly to them, which now included Artemis and Jazz. Jazz hands me a water bottle and I take it, marveling a bit at our very casual interaction.

Robin is smiling widely, to no one's surprise. "You want your top speed?"

I shrug. "Sure."

"543 miles per hour," he bubbles. No seriously, bubbles. He's bubbling.

Tucker has a smirk. "Last time we measured it, it barely got to 200."

I drink some of the water, indifferent. "What does that mean?"

"WELL," begins Robin, and I prepare myself for what's sure to be a long and dramatic monologue. "It means you are our fastest flier, the only one of us who can phase through stuff… but M'gann is getting closer. But she can't phase through everything like you can! It also means you're the only one to go invisible, M'gann can only camouflage. You are perfectly silent, as you have no heartbeat and usually float around. There's also some kind of energy beam you can shoot. AND you can duplicate, which only Zatanna can do, but that's just one of her spells. And who knows what else!"

I incline my head, looking to Tucker and Jazz.

Artemis answers. "What he means is you could easily be our greatest asset, and our powerhouse."

"Oh. Okay. But I feel like we're missing stuff. Tucker, Jazz? Do you guys know all my powers?"

Jazz nods, Tucker responds, tapping something on his PDA. "Strength, because gravity doesn't affect you, speed because of your weightlessness and general flying ability, super senses including but not limited to super hearing and night vision. Invisibility, intangibility, ghost sense, creating light, overshadowing, morphing your body shape, ghost rays and ectoplasm manipulation, ice creation and manipulation, ghost shield and duplication." He takes a deep breath and continues. "Powers in the works, as in you've used them before or have the potential to use them but can't really use them yet include…" He takes another breath. "Ghost stinger, telekinesis, teleportation, ghost portal creation, and you might be able to create fire, because you did once or twice, WHEW."

Robin and Artemis exchange a look.

"That's… um… a lot," stumbles Robin.

"Yeah, we have a running email chain about it," Tucker grins, then falters. "I mean, we did."

"Those were kind of specific, though," Jazz cuts in. "Really, they all fall under gravity suppression, invisibility, intangibility, ghost energy and ice."

"And most of those I didn't even know," Artemis adds. I nod, most of those also lost on me. "I mean, overshadowing? What's that?"

"Possession," Jazz and Tucker respond unanimously.

She looks alarmed. Tucker just nods. "Just walks into people and then he's them. Here, try with me."

I give him a horrified look. "What! No!"

"It isn't a violation or anything, at least not to me. You know, as long as you don't do something incredibly stupid."

The others look incredibly interested, but I still feel weird. I just… walk in him? I probably need to go intangible, right?

I go intangible and walk right into him. Instantly, I'm sucked in, pushing Tucker away and becoming him. I clench my fist, moving a couple steps, marveling at the normalcy of it.

"Danny?" Robin asks.

I look at him. "Yep, it's me… In.. er, Tucker's body."

Artemis shakes her head. "That's so weird."

I release Tucker, and he stumbles once before regaining balance.

"That could also come in freaking handy," Robin chuckles. "I mean, portal creation?" He lets out a low whistle.

"Well, that's something his older self could do. Who knows when he figures it out," Jazz supplies, shrugging.

Wow, okay. "Looks like we've got some work to do…"

Robin chuckles. "This is gonna be great!"

I roll my eyes and retrieve my cape.

"Hey! Mission!" he shouts. A second later, the intercom announces team members report to the mission room. I don't even ask how he does it. "C'mon, Danny, first mission!"

He takes off. I look at Artemis, but she just shrugs and starts jogging, followed by Tucker and Jazz. I follow them, quickly overtaking everyone except Robin, who's already there.

Robin jerks to a stop, surrounded by the other team members who are already there (how?). Batman is standing in front of the console, waiting for the others. I float close to the ground behind Robin, finding he's the most comfortable person in the room.

"I researched the traces of the substance powering the automatons you fought on your last mission," he begins, and the screen shows the strange greenish material. "It is unidentified. I managed to locate a large reserve of it, however, through it's unique energy output. Coordinates have been sent. Given their advantage over you last time you fought them, I suggest a less direct plan. Find out what you can."

The team nods all at once, almost scary in unison.

"Restock and meet at the bioship in fifteen minutes," Kaldur orders, and the team disperses.

Batman calls after me, "Phantom."

Robin gives me a grin. "You are coming. We won't leave without ya. I have to go restock, meet you there!" And he runs off, the traitor.

I float over to Batman, keeping my eyes focused on his emblem.

"Robin told me you joined the team."

I shrug. "He didn't give me much choice."

"Are you ready for this?"

"Robin thinks so."

"What do you think?"

I shrug again, and give a half smile. "Everyone knows me better than I know myself right now. But I guess I won't know for myself until I try."

Batman gives a curt nod. "It is unlikely you have brainwashing or preset directions, based on evaluations done by both Doctor Fate and by Martian Manhunter. But it is still a possibility."

I tilt my head, confused. "You think I might be a traitor?"

"We've had problems with traitors and moles in the past. Most are unaware they are doing so. Our enemies are getting more creative."

I rub the back of my head, unsure of how to assuage these accusations. But they're valid, I guess. "Just don't tell me anything important."

Batman looks a bit taken aback.

I continue. "I don't want to be tracked anywhere or watched all the time. I didn't trade one prison for another. In my right mind, I wouldn't betray any kind of secret, important or otherwise, but I guess it's possible somebody has a back door to my head. The GIW aren't that smart, though. They wouldn't think of doing something like that. I also lost all my memories to simply keep my head my own. If you're really worried, don't tell me stuff."

He's silent for a moment, face blank. "Thank you for your input. Report to the launch pad."

I give him a little smile before flying off.

Alright, I'm gonna make one thing clear: All the powers mentioned in this chapter are straight from the TV show. Everything I mentioned was confirmed, I swear. Even the fire thing. In two instances Danny makes ectoplasmic fire. Also, his older self in the Ultimate Enemy episode could create portals, and I think that's something Danny would figure out how to do eventually, so yeah.

I don't know if you guys ever noticed, but Danny finds a new way to use his powers almost every episode... Anyways.

I fixed a couple mistakes in past chapters, thanks to you guys that pointed those out to me! (Apparently anthrax is not a type of rubber...)

Annnd in response to some responses for some previous chapters.

A) The little reference I hid is in Chapter 5. "Nothing to be afraid of but fear itself" from the infa-map episode.

B) Okay, so Dani is 14/15 so at most she will have a crush, and I'm not sure about that either because as you guys pointed out, no one's really in the age group. Didn't even notice that! Thanks!

C) Raquel, Icon's protege, has already joined the Justice League. It's mentioned in the comic books how fast she joined to be with her mentor. Plus, I really didn't understand anything about her character and that would've been hard to write...

D) This is about a year after DP, so Danny is about 17, Jazz 19. Also about a year after season 1 of Young Justice, so Artemis and Wally are 16, Kaldur 17, Robin and Zatanna 14, Superboy 2 (ha) and M'gann probably 16ish (I don't know, sorry).

E) Because I'm sorry about the long author note, and because I want to reward anyone who read this long, I will give you a spoiler: Sam does come back, but none of you have guessed how yet. You're welcome.

Until next time,

Yours truly
