A/N: Yes, I'm back. Sorry for the lack of updates for... ehehehe... four months... sorry. School and homework and such kinda causes a delay. But I appreciate the constant strem of updaes! Really! I love you all!
So, yeah, I'm sorry.
But now I've updated! This chapter is a bit shorter and reads a lot faster then the others. Trust me, I'm as surprised as you. It's just how it came out.
If any of my lovely readers like gender bending, check out a forum I recently joined, . Go to the comunity and click on forums. Just so you all know, I'm usually on it, so shoot me a PM. That, and that is probably the best way to get to me.
I also decided, after reading my older chapters, that I need a beta reader. Or want one. Same diffrence. So, if anybody wants to be my beta reader, just let me know, okay?

The Humanity of the Inhuman

Danny jolted awake. He was in a hospital bed, though a quick look around told him that he was in Vlad's mansion. The most noticeable evidence of this is that Vlad was sitting to the side of him.

"Vlad! What are you-"

Vlad cut him off.

"Danny, calm down.

"Calm down? Calm down?"

"Danny, please..."

"Shut up, Vlad!"


Slade, in his liar, watches the Titan's play football when Cyborg suddenly freezed up.

"Hmmm... this is the perfect opportunity to get back into Robin's mind..." He thinks on his thrown. "...Send out Mumbo to the junk yard." He sits back. No... that wasn't enough. "And send a platoon of Slade-bots to a couple of jewelry stores." Yes... that should get Robin's attention nicely.


Danny was in the local gym, training by lifting weights. He managed to ignore all of the girls staring at him through a sheer force of will. Well. Until Donna came up.

"Heya, Danny. See you're working out."

Danny grunts as he continues to exercise, ignoring her.

"You seem so strong... would you mind showing me what you can do?"

Danny continues to ignore her.

"Oh, Danny~ Playing hard to get just makes me want you more~"

Danny gasps as a small blue wisp of air left his mouth.

"...Danny? What was that?"

Danny, still ignoring her, puts down the weights and runs to the changing room to... 'change'.


This was not Robin's day.

It started out fine. It was the first Sunday after he realized that Danny was Danny Fenton, and he was still trying to figure out what do about it when Starfire barged into his room.


"Friend Robin! You have done enough of the mopping around."

Robin chuckled. "It's 'moping around', Star."

"You have done enough of that, to! It is time for the earth tradition of bonding over food in the sun!"

"...do you mean a picnic?"

"Yes!"

"Star, today really isn't the day. I'm busy and following up leads, not to mention-"

Before he could finish, he finds himself being dragged out of the tower. He decided that he might as well enjoy himself... a single day off couldn't be that bad.


Then Cyborg, with a dead battery cell, showed up in the fight against Mumbo!

"Cy, get out of here!"

"No way, man! I'm here to kick some villain booty!"


Danny is flying across the city, trying to locate the source of the ghost.

'A ghost? Here? They all promised that they'd stay in the ghost zone! Why is one here?'

He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. "Azarath, Mentrion, Zinthos."

'I know I shouldn't interfere, but ghost's are MY domain, and I'm not gonna have the Titan's trample all over it!'

He took some more deep breaths. "Azarath, Mentrion, Zinthos. Azarath, Mentrion, Zinthos. Azarath, Mentrion, Zinthos."

'That's better. Now, whoever this ghost is, it's gonna regret making me come out to kick its butt! It's going DOWN!'


Robin dodges another of Mumbo's inane and insane attacks. 'How does he do this?' When he catches sight of Phantom flying in. Cyborg's battery dies in a garbage truck and falls down a hole, unnoticed.


Danny idly observes Cyborg go down a hole in the junkyard. 'Heh, serves him right. Now where's that ghost?' He spots sight of the rest of the Titan's fighting the blue Mumbo Jumbo. 'Hmm... the ghost energy appears to be coming from him... as much as I abhor the Titan's, I better interfere.'


Starfire watches Danny Phantom fly down into the middle of a fight. She squeals "Not-Friend Phantom!" She rushes toward him... until he raises a hand.

"Remember your promise." She sighs dejectedly as she floats backwards. He then turns to Mumbo. "Hmmm... you're not a ghost..." He closes his eyes to focus.

"Mumbo Jumbo!" Mumbo waves his wand, and attempts to poof a pile of junk on top of Danny. He just phases through it.

"Ah, that's it." He opens his eyes and stares at Mumbo, his intense eyes glaring at him.


Raven watches the scene with some interest 'Glad that he remembers what Star promised him... but still, Mumbo, a ghost? Fool, maybe, but no ghost.' Her eye's widen. 'Wait... could it be...?'


Starfire sighs as she is told to back off. Not-Friend Phantom was, despite his title, a good friend. Why did he push her away so? Why did he push them all away so?


Robin stares, bewildered, at the unfolding scene. Danny claimed that he hated hero's, and yet here he is, fighting villainy. And this talk of Mumbo being a ghost's... just what was going on? Why did Danny seem so in control of the situation, while all five of the Titan's weren't?


Danny suddenly zooms at Mumbo.

"Guah! Hocus Pocus!" After a poof of smoke, he disappears.. and Danny follows him as he flies into it. For a second he is in an entirely green zone, and then he reappears right behind Mumbo, who is on top of a garbage heap. With a simple punch, Mumbo flies off of it, dropping his wand. Danny easily scooped it up and snapped it in half, breaking Mumbo's spell.

"There. You shouldn't play around with ghostly artifacts."

With that, he simply disappeared, flying back to his shop.


Robin walks up to Mumbo, an angry scowl on his face. Phantom managed to beat him in under a minute, whereas he has, in the past, managed to keep the Titan's busy for over half an hour! He quickly cuffed him and called it in.

Then his communicator beeped, informing him of another emergency. "Titan's, go!"


Danny was relaxing in his closed shop, sipping some herbal tea. He felt rather good after beating Mumbo like that, when it was clear that the Titan's were having trouble. It was rather refreshing. He didn't like interfering with the Titan's, but that was defiantly worth it. He didn't even feel the need to beat up Mumbo.

He continued to relax as he sipped his tea. He frowned as he replayed the fight in his mind. There were many things wrong with it, not the least of which was how Mumbo got a ghostly artifact, but one thing really bothered him. Why was cyborg's armor black? And why was 't he moving?

He gets up, cursing as he does so.

He knew he shouldn't have interfered.


Robin swung his staff, crushing a Slade-bot into itself.

"Where are all of these things coming from?"

Beast Boy changed into an elephant and trampled over some of the robots as Star kept shooting star bolts into the crowd. Raven was on civilian protection duty.

"And where is Cyborg?"


Danny, keeping up his string of curses, flies over the junk yard. "Let's see... he fell down here..." He slowly flew down until he spotted a hole. "I see... he must have fallen down here." He gently floats down the hole, looking around. He suddenly see's a lot of red eyes surrounding him. "...Shit."


Robin pants, staring at the junkyard of scrapped Slade-bots. "Where... is... Cyborg?"

Raven flies down. "...He must have gone to the tower to replace his battery..."

Beast Boy yelps. "Either way, no time, dudes!" All of there communicators start beeping again.

Robin takes in one last breath of fresh air. "Titans, go!"


Danny stared at the junk yard of destroyed robots in front of him, taking in deep breaths. He tried invisibility, but for some reason he just couldn't hide from them.

He angrily kicks a small piece of metal. "I hate this." He starts stalking through the underground tunnel, letting ectoplasm light his way. "Stupid hero's. Stupid robot's. Stupid ghost's." He continues to go down the tunnel, constantly arguing with himself.

'Why am I even here? He's a hero! A freaking HERO! This is not my job.'

Grumble grumble grumble

'I really shouldn't be here. Why am I going through with this? I don't even like him!'

Grumble grumble grumble

He stops and sighs. 'I know why I'm here... though I don't want to admit it...'


The remaining Titan's, those that aren't being held semi captive, are fighting even more Slade-bots.

"GRAH!" Robin swings down with his staff, throwing boomerangs whenever he is free. It is clear, however, that he is beginning to tire... just like the other three titans.

Starfire is shooting her blasts of green energy down upon the robots, but a few are let through, which Raven takes care of. Beast Boy is stampeding down rows of bots, crushing them underfoot, and Robin is taking the rest.

"Where is Cyborg?"


Cyborg, strapped to the bench, blinks as he sees Danny walk in. "What are you doing here?"

Fixit, his eyes red, turn to stare at Danny. "You broke my robots. I will fix them."

Danny looks at the entire room with a critical stare. "...what's going on here?"

Fixit's eyes turn blue. "He is flawed. I am fixing him."

"No I ain't, man! You're just crazy!"

Danny raises his eyebrow. "...fix him how?"

"He has flawed biological components. I will remove them. Make him like you."

Cyborg stares at Fixit like he's crazy. "See, man? He's crazy!"

Danny studies the situation. "...I see. And how are you planning on dealing with the memories?"

Fixit goes back to work. "...I am going to download them into my memory banks, and reload them into his new memory frame."

Danny stares at him. "...were you human?"

"Yes."

"How long since you were outside?"

"I have not needed to go outside for twenty years tomorrow"

Cyborg watches the conversation with a confused look on his face. "Are ya gonna let me out or what, man?"

Danny shows a slight smirk. "I'm just gonna watch."


Robin collapses after the second wave of Slade-bots is scrapped. Beast Boy and Starfire join him, all of them panting. Raven stands, but it is obvious that she is breathing heavily.

"I think that is the last of them, Friend Robin."

Then there communicators blink. Everybody but Raven groans in unison.

Robin wobbles up. "...Titans, go."


"If you take out my biological components, then you take out the best part of me- the part that makes me who I am!"

"I will download your memories, as stated earlier. Your flawed biological components will be removed." Fixit puts on the mask as Danny watches, an emotionless mask on his face.

"NOOOOOOOOO!"

Fixit plugs himself in, and then stumbles back, a distressed and sad look on his face.

"The world outside... the sun... the grass... so beautiful..."

Danny walks over to Cyborg and phases him out.

"Damn it, man! You couldn't a' done that earlier?"

Danny turns to Fixit. "...Fix him."

"Ah... yes." Fixit gets up and plugs himself back in to Cyborg. He resists, but, weakened by his ordeal and the fact that his defensive systems were shut off, Danny can and does hold him still.

Fixit unplugs himself after about a minute "...it is done."

Cyborg's communicator beeps. "What the? My team's in trouble!"

Danny points to the exit. "That's the way out."

Cyborg, not even pausing to say thanks, runs out of the tunnel and back to the Titans.


Robin pants, sending out his explosive boomerangs to destroy some of the Slade-bots. Beast boy is slowly rumbling through it as a woolly mammoth, Starfire's star bolts are slowing down in frequency, and Raven is having trouble keeping the few civilians left out of trouble, constantly chanting her mantra.

"Booya!" A blue beam cuts through the robots. "Take that!"

"Cy!" Bestboy perks up. "You're here!"

"You better believe it." He runs through the swarm to Robin.

Robin smirks. "You got the sonic?"

"Only if you got the boom."


Danny sits down next to Fixit. Fixit sighs.

"That beautiful world... a world for human eyes."

Danny shakes his head. "It's a world for all eyes. I should know."

"Maybe... I'm the one that is broken."

Danny looks at him. "...Fixit, what do you know about ectoplasm?"


Slade is not pleased. "I am not pleased."

He watches the video of the fight with Mumbo Jumbo over and over.

"I am not pleased."
