Phantom of Interest

Chapter Three: Protecting the protector

~(^.^)~

Third Person P.O.V.

In Dani's opinion being a halfa was wonderful. There was no end to the perks of being half ghost. It came with lots of powers and abilities that where amazing and helpful in everyday situations. One of the things she really loved about being half ghost was the ability to fly. Being up in the sky, with the wind in her hair was just amazing. And being able to fly from one place to the other with no restrictions was wonderful.

Another thing that she loved about being a half ghost was that she never got cold. She has an ice core, and thus has a normal stable body temperature of 76.6 degrees Fahrenheit. So the cold weather didn't bother her at all. In fact she loved the cold. She could spend hours outside in the snow and not get cold like other kids. So sleeping in a cold drafty warehouse didn't bother her one bit.

And her all-time favorite thing about being a half ghost was being able to go invisible and intangible. It let her get in and out of places without being seen. It was how she was able to steal food for herself and the other homeless people of New York without getting caught. And it also let her be a little shit. She got to fuck with people by randomly appearing and disappearing in front of people. Their reactions where always so funny.

But one of the most useful things about being a half ghost was the enhanced senses. She could hear, see, and smell things that where miles away. It meant that it was hard for people to sneak up on her because she could hear them coming. Because of this she heard Reese when he first entered the warehouse.

She watched him invisibly as he searched through the warehouse. And then as he found her hide out and began talking to a man through an earwig. She could hear the man on the other end of the line talking and she was confused as to why these men would be looking for her. She tried to remember if she'd ever met the tall man standing before her, but she couldn't remember. She'd met a lot of people in her time traveling around the world, hell she'd met a lot of people in her short time here in New York. But the man didn't really look all that familiar to her.

But to be honest it didn't really matter if she knew him. He was looking for her and she needed to know why. So she followed him as he canvased the area looking for her for hours. Honestly she couldn't help but laugh internally the whole time. He was searching for her and she was right beside him the whole time, not that he ever saw her.

After a couple hours the man gave up and told the other man, who he called Finch, that he hadn't found her. Finch told him to come back to the Library, and so Dani followed him all the way back to an abandoned library building. She followed him up a set of stairs and into a large open room. At the center of the room was a round table with several computer monitors.

There was a man sitting at the table staring at the screens, and a large dog was lying on a dog bed near his feet. The dog jumped up at the approach of his other owner, his tail wagging as Reese patted him on the head. Reese moved over to stand by Finch and the dog sat down in between the two of them.

"I couldn't find her. She wasn't at the warehouse and I didn't see her hanging anywhere around the warehouse," Reese stated.

"I haven't been able to find her on any security camera's in the city either," Finch added.

"Maybe we should focus on the potential threat, and deal with them before they find her," Reese suggested.

'Potential threat?' Dani thought, confused.

She moved to stand next to Reese and looked over his shoulder at the computer. She was shocked when she saw different security camera videos all over the screen. One video was of her fight with the group of idiots in the park last night.

'Just who the hell are these guys and what do they want with me And how the hell do they have access to the cities security cameras?'

"If you couldn't find her Mr. Reese I'm sure these men wouldn't be able to find her," Finch stated, looking up at Reese for a moment.

"Doesn't matter, they're probably looking for her. And you know what they'll do to her if they find her. And I can't protect her the usual way I protect the other numbers since I can't find her. So the best way to do that is to deal with the only threat to her that we know of," Reese explained.

Dani eyed him for a moment, confusion flashing through her. Why did these two men care if she was in trouble? Why where they so worried about her safety and whether or not someone was trying to hurt her? And just what did he mean by 'other numbers'?

"Do you have a plan for stopping them?" Finch questioned.

"I'll come up with something," Reese muttered, shrugging his shoulders.

Reese moved back towards the stairs and Dani watched him go. Then she caught sight of a clear board at one end of the room. A picture of her from the video of her in the park last night was taped up to the board. Beside that picture was a series of pictures of the men who she'd beat up last night. She moved to the board and looked over the information on the men that was posted under their pictures.

She was shocked when she read that they where drug dealers. She glanced back at Finch, then towards the door that Reese had left out of. These guys where going to get themselves hurt or killed trying to protect her. And she didn't even need their protection. She sighed internally and rolled her eyes.

'A superheroes work is never done,' She thought.

She flew out of the building as fast as she could. It only took her a minute to find Reese walking down the streets of New York. She flew down a few blocks from him to an alley, looked around to make sure no one was around, then turned visible and tangible once more. She strolled out of the alley and out into the swarms of people walking along the sidewalks.

She purposefully stopped in front of a street camera for a moment letting it catch sight of her, then continued on down the street. With her enhanced hearing she could hear Reese and Finch talking from several blocks away.

"Mr. Reese, she just appeared on a street camera three blocks from you. She's heading south," Finch exclaimed.

She smirked and shook her head. It was to easy. Now all she had to do was keep the big dumb lug away from those drug dealer guys by letting him follow her around the city all day. She ducked into a supermarket to nab herself some breakfast, and to nab a few things for some of the homeless people around the city. No reason for her to not to go about her usual business while she kept this guy safe.

She lingered in the store until she spotted Reese standing at the end of an aisle, then made her way out of the store. She munched on one of her stolen apples as she walked down the street.

"Girls good Finch. I didn't even see her nab the apple from the store," Reese muttered, sounding impressed.

She walked around the city for a while, handing out her stolen goods to any homeless person she saw along the way. For the most part Reese followed behind her silently, with only the occasional comment passed between him and Finch. It was getting close to sun set when she decided it was time to head back to her hide out. So she ducked down an alleyway that would take her in the direction of her warehouse.

Unfortunately she was a clone of Daniel Fenton and had his horrible luck, because standing at the end of the alley by a loading dock was the men she'd beaten to a pulp the night before in the park across from her warehouse. Before she could ducked back out of the alley the men spotted her and started heading her way.

"Oh you've got to be kidding me," She muttered, shoulders slumping.

This is exactly what she didn't want to deal with today! She was trying to keep her would be savior away from these guys, and now she'd just led him right to them. And now she had to fight these guys again while trying to keep Reese from getting himself hurt while he attempted to protect her. Could nothing ever be easy?!

AN: So just so you know, there was a reason why Bear didn't sense her even though she was standing right next to him. I've got this head canon that when Danny and Dani are both invisible and intangible at the same time they're undetectable to anything and everything {besides ghost hunting equipment}, including animals. Now if she had just been invisible then Bear would have sensed her and started growling at her. But she was also intangible, so he didn't know she was there. There is a method to my madness, I promise you!

AN2: Okay so I just loved the idea of Dani trying to protect the people that are trying to protect her. Like she doesn't know them, so she doesn't know what Reese is capable of and what the two of them have accomplished in the past in regards to protecting people. She just sees two humans with no powers trying to protect her, and she knows that means that Reese will be putting himself in danger. So she's going into protective mode herself. And thus this chapter was born!
