Danny woke up during the night, after hearing a loud noise. In his sleep, he managed to transform into his human-looking self. He looked around but couldn't see what was wrong, the leaves from the trees blocking his vision.
The halfa climbed down the trunk to see a building. 'Must be from in there' Danny thought. Then, he heard another noise, it sounded as though someone fell over. This noise came from the right of him, just around the side of the structure.
He poked his head 'round and there was a group of teenagers. They all looked like they were going to a cosplay convention, except the characters they dressed up as didn't exist, as far as Danny knew.
The person that fell over, was just getting back up. His hair was black and he had a black cape on, but that was all Danny could see.
Suddenly, all the trick-or-treaters charged towards something. Danny looked at where they were going, he nearly laughed for the first time in years at seeing Box Ghost. He didn't even have any boxes to fight with. Danny decided to move so he could see from another angle. The teens were trying to get a hit on Boxy whilst the ghost just flew higher, the girl with the bow had run out of arrows. Maybe the kid just tripped?
Unfortunately, Danny tripped and it was the same place in which the boy did. Nothing was there to trip on though. The sound of him falling reached the teens' ears they turned around, Box Ghost used this opportunity to escape. Danny heard his whispered "Beware,".
The team gathered 'round him, Danny hated the attention.
The girl with the bow stepped forward. "Who are you?" She practically snapped sending him a glare.
Danny stayed silent, not knowing whether to trust these kids or not.
A guy that looked like a fish stepped forward, "I'm Aqualad, this is my team. Could you tell us what you are doing here?"
"Uh… I heard some noise, came to check it out…" Danny replied, his hand reaching for the back of his neck.
The fallen boy stepped forwards, Danny hated that they did that, one by one coming closer towards him. Cornering him, nowhere to escape. Danny didn't realise it but his breathing was getting quicker, his mind foggier, he couldn't concentrate, couldn't even think.
His mouth and nose were covered. His thoughts became clearer, eventually, his eyes could focus on the people in front of him, the arm in front of him. It belonged to the redheaded boy, his suit was yellow and red, the same colours as 'R' just less subtle.
Danny pushed the arm away and stood up, attempting to leave and just forget about the guys. That was until an invisible force pulled him back, he turned around and the green thing had her arm out.
"Please just answer honestly," she said, whilst laying her arm back to her side.
"I already have," Danny muttered, sure that no one could hear him and started to walk away again.
"No, you haven't," a guy with a red 'S' on his shirt ground out, his face in a scowl.
Danny turned around, trying not to let the surprise of being heard show, "Yes, I have," He replied, starting to get irritated, why couldn't he just leave?
'R' came forwards, his arm out, showing a hovering screen. "Cool," Danny breathed out, this time he tried to be even quieter.
"How did you hear the noise, we are literally in the middle of a forest?" He said, his mouth in a frown.
"I was taking a walk, duh," Danny tried his best to seem like he belonged there, but his best didn't mean it was good.
"Outside of that forest, there's no sign of civilisation for quite a few miles. I highly doubt you drove here, because there are no cars," His mask creased, probably furrowing his eyebrows.
"So," Gill-boy spoke out "What are you doing here?"
"I-" But Danny was cut off, a smoke was released behind him, knocking him out cold.
