AND HERE IS CHAPTER 5!
Sorry about the wait I had trouble actually getting my head back into this story and A LOT of things came up over the time. I will probably drop the First person point of view as I am having trouble writing in that style. NOTE MY PRIORITIES ARE AS FOLLOWS: School, work, family, then fanfiction. So stop complaining about things being slow to update! I have also been informed that the program I am currently using to write this does not check spelling and grammar well so deal with the problems or tell me how to correct them. though I have switched to Google docs so maybe the spelling won't be too bad.
ok to avoid confusion as to the last chapter please know that Danny currently has a fear of the color white. And Hawks costume, if anyone googles him, is mostly white with only a few red accents. That said Danny is still skittish around people that are not Superman, most of the friendly ghosts he knows, and a few other people. So being grabbed suddenly from behind by someone wearing alot of white will naturally cause him to lash out. Cujo attacked because he thought Danny was under attack. I also believe that he is smarter than most dogs, so he knew what would happen when Danny got free which is why he disappeared quickly and why he was running towards the door when Danny accidentally flash froze him, he was going to get help as Danny had the chance to freeze himself to death like in Urban Jungle with Undergrowth.
Ok my explanation/rant is over.
Well on to the story.
- Third person POV -
Danny hid in the room for three days before he dared to leave it again, and that was after he managed to convince himself that the GIW were NOT here and they could not get to him. Even then he remained invisible the whole time he was outside of the room. Danny once again began to shadow Superman around the watchtower. This time he however made sure that no one noticed him, Cujo however had other ideas. He had a tendency to run ahead of him before coming back, unfortunately Cujo was not invisible most of the time and was noticed by many of the people on the station. The leaguers being, for the most part, intelligent people realized that where the dog was the boy was probably not that far away. Thus the leaguers that were uncertain where they stood on the matter often left the room when the puppy appeared for more than a few seconds.
It took Danny four more days before he let himself be seen by any of the leaguers, even then it was accidental on his part, caused by the Watchtower's alarm systems going off alerting the league to visitors coming via the javelins. Superman, not noticing the visible Danny standing behind him, sighed knowing who was arriving and realizing that they would probably have to drag Danny out of his room. Just so that he could actually see the guests that they had dragged to the watchtower to get Danny to come out of his, so called, isolation. Superman froze however when he felt a slight amount of weight settle on his right shoulder. Glancing at his shoulder he saw Danny perched on him like some kind of strange parrot his head tilted to the side, away from superman's own, and a puff of blue mist coming out of his mouth with every exhale. Suddenly Danny's eyes widened and he lept off supermans shoulder before dashing down the hall towards the hangar deck, how he knew which direction to go was put down to him exploring the Watchtower.
Superman smiled to himself and followed at a more sedate pace thinking. Maybe they could finally get to the bottom of what happened to Danny now that his friends are here. He will at least tell them what happened and they could ask his friends later. If only to figure out what could trigger another attack like a week ago.
It only took Superman a few minutes to make it to the landing bay after Danny had left. He smiled as he saw what was going on. Many of the league members had gathered to see who was arriving, and were staring at Danny in surprise. To say that they were shocked that their resident recluse was practically bouncing up and down with a smile waiting for the people on board to disembark was a severe understatement. When the passengers finally got off the Javelin most of the league were surprised to see three teenagers, two girls and one boy, about the same age as their recluse, a girl that looked to be twelve at the most, and a young lady that looked to be about twenty two years old (Come on you know who they are. Sam, Tucker, Val, Dani, and Jazz). The second that they stepped off the Javelin Danny tackled them to the ground attempting to hug the life out of them. Two of the teens smiled and hugged Danny right back while calling his name. The other teen smiled slightly, while the twenty two year old smiled brightly. The twelve year old waited for the three teens to finish their hug before she jumped at Danny hugging him tightly. When she let go Danny smiled and nodded to the twenty two year old.
She shook her head and made a shooing motion "Go on little Bro, Spend some time with Sam, Tucker, Dani, and Valerie."
Danny nodded enthusiastically and dragged said people off towards the room he had claimed for himself, with Cujo on his heels as always. With Danny gone the twenty two year old sighed and looked towards superman.
"I can see why you wanted to bring us here now. Even with Sam and Tucker he did not relax his stance. Danny does not trust many people on the station does he?"
Superman shook his head "No I think he only trusts me and maybe Dr. Fate. We want to ask you to at least try to get what happened out of him, If you could. He has already suffered what could only be called a panic attack. And it was caused simply by someone picking him up from behind. We don't know if there were any other factors that caused him to lash out or not."
Jazz nodded "I can understand that. you don't want someone who could literally level a city to go berserk on a satellite in space."
Superman paled "What do you mean he could "level a city"? there was no indication of him possessing a power that could do that."
Jazz smirked. "And you won't find one. Danny does not use that power often because of the sheer amount of destruction it can cause, and the fact that it leaves him completely powerless afterwards."
Superman and the assembled members of the league shivered at the thought of a unstable Teenager possessing that much power. Superman was the one to ask the question that was on everyone's mind "What kind of power is it?"
Jazz smiled and said "Now that would be telling. I will however give you a hint. Watch out when he yells."
Superman nodded "Well that warning could go unused for a while. As far as we know Danny has been unable to speak due to the damage his throat sustained during his capture."
Jazz frowned "He has not spoken yet? He's been here for what three weeks?"
A random League member butted in "Three and a half actually"
Jazz scrunched her face up " Still that is a long time for him to still be injured. Usually his injuries heal in a matter of hours. only rarely does it take more than a day. For him to still be hurt over three weeks later. He had to be seriously injured of his powers short circuited."
Superman sighed " Come with me and I take you to the medical people and you can look at his file there."
Jaz nodded and followed Superman deeper into the Watchtower. The rest of the leaguers dispersed now that the entertainment was over.
And Cut
NEXT TIME WE will see what The teens get up to. And maybe some other things. this story may go on Hatus soon as I am running out of Ideas as to where to take it. So don't expect a update soon.
