I don't own Young Justice or Danny Phantom.
Sorry if I mess stuff up.
"What did you find, Tuck?" Danny asked phasing into his parents' lab where they had their Base.
"I wasn't able to find as much as normal, since LexCorp is more advanced than I'm used to. But . . . well, just look at this," Tucker said.
On the computer screen it said that LexCorp had just given a vast about of funds to a new scientist group. Along with some old Cadmus equipment.
Vlad had rambled about Cadmus before. He said they had perfected cloning. By many trial and errors. Apparently, Danny wasn't the only one who remembered this.
"Tucker, anyway of finding out where these scientists are?" Danny asked already knowing the answer.
"I've tried, man. But this is way out pf our league," Tucker said.
"Danny I know we have to find Dani, but we deal with ghosts," said Sam. "These are the types of things the Justice League deals with. Maybe, we should get help."
"We are way over our heads with this," Danny muttered. "I guess you're right, but where do we ask?"
"We don't know. You're the superhero," Tucker said.
Just then the house want on lockdown.
"Great," Danny sighed. "Who's trying to sneak their way into our house, this time?"
"Danny!?" Jazz yelled. "Come up here . . . uh . . . now please."
Danny, Sam, and Tucker came to the living room to find Robin, the boy wonder, in a ghost trap. While a Miss Martian and Rocket tried to get him out of it, Jazz went to Danny.
"That's Robin right?" she asked.
"Yeah," Tucker said in the same shocked state Jazz and Sam were in.
Danny wasn't at all shocked at this. In fact, he was happy that the boy wonder got caught. He had a rough relationship with the boy wonder ever since the Box Ghost got the bright idea to steal boxes in Gotham. Needless to say, it didn't end well. That is also why the League and even Batman doesn't really follow what the young half ghost is up to. After that, they thought he and his ghosts were a joke and Danny had to work extra hard to make sure none of the ghosts left Amity Park.
"What are you doing here boy blunder," Danny said annoyed and took the house out of lock down.
"Figures it's ghost boy's hacker," Robin mumbled freeing himself from the trap. "We have some questions to ask you."
"Um . . . you know each other?" Miss Martian asked looking at Robin.
"Figures the newbies don't know who I am. Bats certainly did a good job of making sure no one payed any attention to me outside of Amity," Danny said angrily. "My name is Danny Phantom, and yes Robin and I have a history . . . Robin, you said you had questions. Hurry up and ask them, before I kick you out."
"Someone hacked into LexCorp earlier today and I tracked it to here," Robin said. "What did you find?"
"Why do you want to know?" Danny asked.
"We believe the information to be relevant in finding our missing teammates," Robin said.
"Would they happen to be clones?" Sam queried.
"Yeah, why?" Rocket inquired.
"Because my protégé is also missing," Danny said. "And she's a clone of me."
"You got a protégé clone?" Robin questioned.
"Tell me what you know, because it is probably more than what we do," Danny demanded.
"Atruevious . . ." Robin was cut off by his com. "Slow down KF . . . What!? KF! We need to get to Wisconsin now."
The three sidekicks left for the bio-ship as fast as they came.
"I'm going after them. If Atruevious is involved in this the clones are in big trouble," Danny said.
"The other sidekicks are probably fighting Vlad, aren't they?" Jazz stated.
"The League most likely traced Atruevious back to him," Tucker said.
"Guys, get on coms," Danny said to his team.
"No way, we're coming with you," Sam said.
"No Sam, like you said this is bigger than us. I'll get Danielle back, but you guys need to stay here," Danny said. "Besides someone has to cover for me."
"Then hurry up and go before Vlad really hurts those sidekicks," Jazz said.
"We're here if you need us," Tucker said.
Danny gave approving nods to his best friend and his sister, then turned to his girlfriend. Sam sighed.
"Just come back with Dani, and we'll be keeping tabs on you with the coms," Sam said, Danny kissed her, and started to make his way to Wisconsin.
. . .
"Can't the Super Cycle go any faster?" Kid Flash whined.
"Will you be quiet Kid Mouth? The Cycle is just as fast as the Bio-ship," Artemis said.
"We're almost in Wisconsin," Zatanna said.
"Why are we going here again?" Kid Flash asked.
"Vlad Plasmius was known to work with Atruevious," Aqualad said. "And we are going to interrogate Plasmius to see if he knows any useful information about Atruevious."
The young heroes found their destination.
"Wow, we're going to that Mansion!?" Kid Flash exclaimed.
"Yes, now we are not looking for a fight," Aqualad said. "Remember that."
The team however wasn't not prepared for the half ghost that lives there. Vlad wanted them out of his house now.
"You sidekicks are trespassing on private property," Plasmius said throwing ecto-blast at the scattering teens.
"We just wish to speak to you about Atruevious," Aqualad said dodging the blast.
"I have nothing to say of him," Plasmius spat.
As this arguing went on Kid Flash decided they could use backup.
"Robinthiscrazyghostguywon'tlistentousneedbackup," Kid Flash said at super speed into his com.
~"Slow down KF," Robin said.
"We need Backup, Plasmius . . ." Kid Flash was hit with one of the ecto-blasts rendering him unconscious.
"Now you've done it cheese head," Artemis said firing her arrows.
"Pathetic children my daughter can do better than that," Plasmius said going intangible and questioning referring to Danielle as his daughter.
"Ground Him
"Dnuorg mih," Zatanna said to keep the ghost on the ground.
"Well, that's new," Plasmius muttered.
~"Aqualad, you there?" Robin asked through the coms.
"I am here Robin, we may require assistance," Aqualad responded.
~"We're already on our way. Is KF alright? We got cut off," Robin said.
Aqualad looked at his teammates. Seeing that the speedster regained consciousness, the leader replied.
"He is fine. What is your ETA?"
~"Five minutes," Robin stated after a pause.
"See you then, Aqualad out,"
In those five minutes Plasmius was able to restrain the young heroes.
"Now sidekicks, Why are you here without your precious mentors to protect you?" Plasmius asked.
"We just wanted to talk to you about Atruevious," Artemis said. "We know you've partnered with him on cloning projects before."
"And you had to break into my house to do so?" Plasmius asked.
Robin picked that moment to drop in.
"You guys ok?" Robin asked as Miss Martian and Rocket came in.
"Fine, just tided up and bruised pride," Kid Flash stated.
"Great, more adolescents in my house," Plasmius muttered.
Plasmius started firing ecto-blasts at Robin, while Miss Martian and Rocket freed their teammates. Robin dodged the blasts easily.
"Great job talking guys." Robin muttered. "What did they do to piss you off?"
"You are trespassing. Doesn't the Justice League teach you anything about manners?" Plasmius spat and landed a hit on Robin's arm.
"That's enough, Vlad," Danny said phasing through the ceiling and standing in-between the two.
"What are you doing here ghost boy," Robin said holding his arm.
"You know these hooligans?" Plasmius asked.
"Their clones are missing too. We work together, we have a better chance of saving all of them," Danny said. "And before you go off ranting about suing them, I bet they had to break in to get your attention."
"Very well, then," Vlad muttered.
"Wait," Kid Flash said speeding up beside his best friend. "That's the ghost boy? From Amity Park, right?"
"Yes, Flash Boy, I am and you of all people should know how irritating it is when people call you by the wrong name," Danny said. "Start talking Vlad."
"Fine, Atruevious and I did work together in the early stages of my cloning attempts. He's obsessed with getting a "perfect" clone and stole some of my equipment to try to obtain it. After I cut him off," Vlad said. "He was taking to many resources away from me and I'm pretty sure is legally insane."
"Figures, you would work with an even bigger fruit loop than yourself," Danny said.
"Why would he want to capture our clones?" Aqualad asked. "It is likely that Atruevious had a grudge against you, but what use would he have for them?"
"My clone wasn't stable at first," Danny said. "Atruevious, probable wanted clones who were originally stabilized.
"And there's the fact that he is working with the Light now and they could want their projects back," Robin reminded his team.
"That's the why, but we still don't know the where," Artemis said.
"I have told you all I know on this matter. Now, if you please, get out!" Vlad said.
"What part of working together did you not hear?" Danny spat.
"We never agreed to that," Robin said.
"Can we deal with our little grudge after our clones are back?" Danny said annoyed.
"Then you go with them, Daniel. I will contact you if Atruevious contacts me," Vlad said.
"Fine," Danny said and turned to the team. "We'd better go. Unless you want him to literally blast us out of here."
The teen heroes all went to the bio-ship and took to hovering in the sky, while they discussed with Danny.
"Danny Phantom, how come we don't know anything about you?" Zatanna asked.
"Because the League, and everyone else for that matter, think I'm a joke," Danny said. "And they don't really care what I do. They don't see me as a threat or ally. They see me as lower than a sidekick."
"We do keep have to reminding them a lot, that we aren't pushovers," Kid Flash said as Robin scoffed. "Dude, what's your deal?"
"We'll explain once our clones are home safe," Robin said. "Let's just get back to the cave."
"Are you sure we should let Phantom come?" Artemis asked. "You two don't seem to get along every well."
"I'm right here, you know," Danny said.
"I may not like him, but he is trustworthy and we'll get our teammates back faster with his help," Robin said. "But someone else needs to call Batman."
"I will do it," Aqualad said.
The rest of the trip was pretty much awkward silence. All the young heroes wondering how their clones were fairing against Atruevious.
Sorry that took me so long. The next chapter will be about mainly the clones with maybe the team at the end. I know this is fast pace, but I guess I'm like a speedster in that sense. Because IRL there isn't always a known buildup, it just happens. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please review, follow, and favorite. They help me continue, and if you do review, follow, and favorite I know you want more : )
