Time Will Tell

Chapter 2

Bitter Meeting

The whole groups mouths were open, except, naturally, for Logan. The long and awkward silence was broken by Tru.

"Um, aren't you kind of young to have an illegitimate kid?" She said starring bewildered at the thin boy with ice blue eyes and ebony colored hair. He obviously was as confused by this statement as the rest of them.

"That's impossible," Danny said simply.

"What year is this," Logan asked.

Sam said '2006' at the same time Tru said '2025'. They stared at each other shocked.

"It must have been Clockwork," Logan said, thinking out loud. Danny was still suspicious of the boy, despite who he may claim to be.

"Prove it," Danny demanded.

"That's easy," Logan said and seconds later white rings formed where his stomach was, moving to his toes and head, and he became human. He had ebony hair similar to Danny's, gorgeous violet eyes, and was pretty much the same height and physical shape as he was as a ghost. He was wearing baggy jeans and a emerald green t-shirt. "Now do you believe me?"

"I guess I have to," Danny said finally. "Do you know why you were sent back here?"

"I'm not so sure that it's about what happens in the future," Logan said thoughtfully. "It might be about something that happens in the past, I mean, right now."

"That doesn't explain why I'm here," Tru said. "I mean since he is your son and partially ghost, Logan make sense, but I don't even know any of you."

"I don't know," Logan said running his hand through his hair as he thought, "I guess we'll just have to figure out as we go."

"So," Sam cut in looking rather shifty, "Who's your mom anyway" Logan started to answer but Tru put her hand over his mouth.

"You can't tell them," she berated him, "It could effect the outcome of the future."

Most of them looked disappointed that they didn't find out who Danny ended up with. Danny silently agreed with her, he didn't want his future decided for him. He had a feeling who Logan's mom was but chose not to say anything, incase he was wrong.

"I doesn't matter anyway," Sam said, though it was obvious that she didn't mean it. "Anyway, are we going to stay here and chat, or what?" She was impatient and unnerved to meet Danny's son from the future.

"We can fend for ourselves if you guys want to go somewhere," Tru told them, "but we need some where to stay until we can get back." She was calm considering the fact she's stuck in the past by ghosts, which she never knew existed. Sam's heart went out for the teen.

"I suppose you could just go to the movies with us," Danny suggested.

"Sure," Logan said and started walking to the stairs. Tru started walking after him and glanced at the goth in front of her.

"Your name is?" she asked Sam.

"I'm Sam," she answered, "and that," she pointed a guy with a red hat and as usual his PDA in hand, "is Tucker."

"Great to meet both of you," Tru said and continued to walk up the stairs in her black Vans. The came out of the kitchen and Logan walked strait into Jack Fenton.

"Hey, Gram- um, sir," He said, looking up at the large man sporting an orange jumpsuit, and had greying hair.

"Danny, who's this?" Jack asked in his usual boisterous manner. Danny thought quickly and came up with a believable story.

"This is my friend, Logan," Danny told his father. "His parents are out of town, so we were wondering if he could stay here."

"Sure son, I can tell him all about ghost hunting while he stays here," Jack roared and ran off, probably to get a device to show Logan.

"Let's get out of here before he comes back and tells us a long winded story," Danny said and rushed towards the door. "I can't wait to see the flick."

"It's a shame, Daniel, that you won't be able to see it," a man's voice told him, Danny looked to the left, already sure of who it was.

"Plasmius," Danny said spitefully. "What do you want now?" He changed into his ghost form and could see Logan do the same beside him.

"Who's this, Daniel," Plasmius inquired, "I thought we were the only halfas" (a/n: I don't like that term). He had one eyebrow raised and was waiting expectantly for an answer.

"I think," Logan told Plasmius, "You should worry less about who I am, and more about what we could do to you."

"I'm simply frightened," Plasmius said, sarcasm dripping from his voice. He was the same as usual, with his white and red cape and vampire teeth, not to mention arrogant manner.

"Fine you asked for it," Logan said, and a ball of glowing ectoplasm gathered in his fist. He shot it at Plasmius, who blocked it with apparent ease, though some of the energy got through and hit him.

"To think," Plasmius told them, "That I came here to get Danny's DNA and I found someone who would make a perfect lackey."

"Like I would ever join you," Logan said rolling his eyes. At that moment Danny flew towards Plasmius, planning on giving him a hard punch in the nose. Unfortunately he blocked it, but Danny managed to give him a sharp backhand on the face.

"Who's he?" Tru asked urgently looking at the fierce battle they were in and worrying for Logan and Danny's safety.

"That would be Plasmius," Tucker answered, "He's Danny's archenemies, they fight like this all the time." Their conversation was cut short by Danny yelling at Plasmius.

"So are you here to check out my mom?" Danny asked, "Because sorry to break it to you, but she's in love with my dad."

"He likes Grams!" Logan said, his voice filled with surprise and disgust, as he flew up preparing to hit Plasmius. "That's just wrong on so many levels!"

"Grams!" Plasmius said, his face registering shock and malice. "I thought you looked familiar, I suppose clockwork had a hand in this." He turned away from them and right before he turned invisible he turned his head to glance back at them and said "Well I must go decide what to do with this new information."

"Get back here you coward," Danny yelled, though he knew Plasmius was most likely long gone by now, scheming. "You probably shouldn't have said that, Logan, now he's going to come up with an elaborate scheme involving you"

"You two should probably change back before some ghost hunter starts shooting at you," Sam suggested.

"That would probably be a good idea," Danny replied and both of them landed and changed back to their human form.

"Crap," Sam swore, "We missed the movie."

"Then we should probably decide what to do with them," Danny gestured at Tru and Logan, who were at that moment involved in a conversation, "They could probably go to school with us tomorrow, and could Tru stay the night at your house."

"She's a girl and not goth," Sam replied grinning at her best friends. "My parents will be thrilled."
