A Jaded Phantom Chap #3

Danny Pov

Me and Blink got along great. She was a lot like Jazz. She showed me what her power was and after she asked if I could do anything other than fly. I was still a little wary but for the sole reason that she acted so much like Jazz I decided I could tell her. Or rather show her.

"Danny? Do you have any other gifts other than your wings?"

I looked at her for a moment and nodded. She looked at me expectantly and I realized that she wanted a demonstration. I closed my eyes and focused on how I looked in my ghost form. I felt energy pouring into me and suddenly a bluish white ring of light appeared around my waist. It split in two and my large heavy trench coat (Stolen and provided by Morph of coarse.) and clothes changed.

My coat which I had cut slits in so I could fly and hide my wings with disappeared. My shirt turned blue and my jeans turned black. Black combat boots appeared on my feet and black fingerless gloves now adorned my hands. My pure white wings turned raven black and my dark, dark hair turned snow white. I opened my eyes and instead of my usual ocean blue, a bright glowing yellow filled up the entire eye. My ghostly white glow illuminated the cave.

I walked up to a wall and with great concentration turned my hand intangible. I passed it through as blink stood shell shocked. It turned tangible for a second while I was still in but I stayed calm and concentrated. I was able to move it out and turned towards her again. I then turned invisible and she gasped. I reappeared beside her and she looked at me in total shock.

Suddenly I turned back I didn't have very much practice or control so I was used to that. I paid it no mind and waited. A few seconds later she smiled brightly at me. "Danny that's great! It's really rare that a mutant has more than one power."

In my quiet voice I replied. "Yes but I don't have very good control. I almost got stuck in the wall and I didn't mean to change back."

She waved it off and said. "No problem. That comes with practice. Keep at it and you'll get it in no time."

I looked up at her and gave a shy smile. I glanced at the clock that one of the other people here stole and realized it was getting late. I thought it was ridiculous but Morph insisted on me having a bed time. It was ten and that was what the clock said. I didn't want to upset Morph so I said. "I need to go to bed now. By Clarice." I smiled at her again and ran off into the tunnels. I had been here for about a month and in that time Morph had taken the time to show me how to get anywhere in the tunnels. He even showed me some secret entrances and exits just in case. I showed my other powers to him but he said he didn't want to take the chance of me phasing and getting stuck in a wall until I had better control.

I quickly navigated my way through the tunnels and made my way to the sleeping quarters. All the people slept closely together so we were all warm. I was the youngest in the entire colony. Some people were going to bed as well and I saw Morph waiting in our area. I felt safest with him so we slept together. After this long I trusted the other morlocs

Now I will describe the sleeping quarters. You see the entire floor is covered with mattresses (Once again stolen by the way.) and the design of the room was like a dome. There are several entrances and exits. All of them are arches and all of them were carved by the morlocs. The entire room and most of our home was created over the years of people living here. That's why the tunnels were so complex. Incase intruders entered our home they would get lost and wander around until one of the morlocs found them.

It was Calypso's idea. She is our leader and she got the idea after the older, smaller group of morlocs was attacked by some extremist group called the Friends of Humanity. Some of them didn't make it but most of the original morlocs are still here.

I made my way over to Morph and sat down next to him. "Hi Morph."

"What's up, little dude?" He said, ruffling my hair.

I laughed and smiled at him. Out of all the people I've met since I ran away Morph was the nicest. I trusted him completely. Thanks to him my shoulder was all healed up and he always treated me like his little brother. He even trusted me enough to tell me his secret. He was only 17. Younger than Spike. I asked why he made himself look older and he said that he liked people thinking he was older than he was. It was more convenient. I still thought he was weird but I was starting to think of him as a brother as well.

Morph POV

I was waiting for Danny in to sleeping room. I was sitting Indian style on our little spot. I was trying to come up with a code name for him. I considered Angel but I realized that was taken by that Worthington guy I saw on TV once. Another name I thought was Vanisher but that was taken by that villain the avengers fought sometimes. Talon, Cherub, The Fallen… that last one wasn't so bad really. I thought on how his other form looked and realized that was actually a really good name for him. We could call him TF for short. I would ask him when he got here. I looked at this room's clock. Someone stole one for every room. "He should be here soon." I muttered to myself.

Since I saw Danny I felt protective of him. I ran away when I was around his age and he reminded me of myself back then. Over the time that he's stayed here I made a silent promise to him and myself that I would always be here for him.

I looked up and saw Danny, wings and all, run into the room. I smiled at him as he made his way over to me and sat down. "Hi Morph."

I smiled at him and ruffled his hair. "What's up little dude?" He laughed and smiled. I liked making him laugh. He was way to sullen for a kid his age, he was getting better though. I made sure that he smiled every day, and always had enough to eat. He was skinny but not as bad as when we first found him.

"So how was your time with ole Blinky?" I asked while turning into Blink but with my face and a wide grin.

He laughed again and said. "It was nice. I had fun and I told her about my powers."

"Great. So Danny, I was thinking that you need a code name."

"Code name?"

"Yeah, like everyone calls me Morph and Clarice Blink."

"Oh. Well should I come up with one?"

"If you don't like this one then yes. What do you think of The Fallen? We could call you TF for short."

He looked contemplative for a second before a smile lit up his face and I once again began considered calling him Cherub. But those hopes were dashed when he looked up and said "I like it. It's really cool."

I smiled and said "The Fallen it is."

I noticed him trying and failing to hide a yawn. I chuckled and ruffled his hair again. "Bedtime kiddo. C'mere" I said grabbing him, making him squeal and laugh. I settled us down and we both relaxed. Danny latched onto me and I being mindful of his wings held him close. We were lulled to sleep by the sound of each other's steady breathing.

I didn't know this but the next morning would be a terrible one. And it would cause us to be thrown from our home.

Fluffy and delicious. I am really happy with this chapter and hope for lots of reviews. I am going to leave the choice up to you people on three things. What happens to make Danny leave the morlocs? Will Morph Join him in his travels? Will they meet Gambit or any other characters before Germany? The answer is in the reviews people I need to know your opinion.
