Hello everybody! I thought that since it is the weekend, I would upload 2 chapters instead of one so you might be able to get a better feel for how this story will be progressing. I hope you enjoy! :)

M'gann just stared at the unknown boy. "But how is that possible? I thought humans couldn't breathe if their heart didn't beat?"

Kaldur tried his best to calm down and be the leader of the team. "I believe we should move this boy to the MedLab to see if we can figure out what is wrong with him. Superboy, can you carry him there? Robin and Kid Flash proceed there and hook him up to an EKG, EEG and see about starting him on an IV. M'gann, try to gain access into his mind, see if you can find out who he is and why or how he came to be here. Artemis, you and I will search the database for anybody matching his description. Everyone clear?" After receiving a nod from his team, he sent them all on their way with a simple and authoritative "Go."

Robin and Kid Flash rushed to the MedLab to get a bed and the required supplies ready for the arrival of the mystery teen, while Superboy carefully scooped up said teen and headed to the MedLab himself. All signs of their previous shock and awe gone from their body as they were now all in hero mode, but being in hero mode doesn't mean they still can't wonder how everything they witnessed is possible.

As Superboy came into the room and laid the unconscious teen on the bed, Robin and Kid Flash hooked him up to the different machines. These machines confirmed what the team already knew, that this boy had no heartbeat and his breathing rate was extremely low, yet he was alive.

"I don't understand how this is possible. I mean, I've seen some weird things since I started as Batman's partner four years ago (he was 9), but never anything like this."

"I know right! This is just too crazy, even for us!" KF confirmed while looking from the stats to the teen. "M'gann, are you going to try to get in his mind?" M'gann's eyes then turned completely green for a minute before returning to normal. "Anything?" KF asked?

M'gann shook her head. "No." She replied. "His mind is active but he seems to have some kind of barrier of energy that keeps me from his thoughts. I never encountered anything like this before. I'm sorry."

Robin placed a reassuring hand on M'gann's shoulder. "Don't worry about it, we'll figure it out soon enough." She smiled at the Boy Wonder and he removed his hand from her shoulder as he seemed to get an idea. He fiddled through a few cabinets until he found the needles he was looking for. "I'm going to take a blood sample, you know, see if he was poisoned or anything. KF, can you swab the injection site?"

"Sure, but I don't think I can. His suit, gloves or boots won't come off!"

"Well then look for a tear in his suit or something."

"Okay, got one. Right forearm. Can you use the radial artery without blowing it?"

"I'm gonna have to. We have to check his blood to be sure there isn't anything seriously wrong with him. It's the only place we can do it besides on his face and neck. Swab it."

Kid Flash swabbed the area and then prepared some gauze and band-aids for later. Robin waited for the nod from Kid and then proceeded to inject the needle and draw some blood. All four teens in the room (including Superboy) was shocked when they saw the color and thickness of his blood.

M'gann looked at Kid Flash. "I thought that human blood was red, so why is his green?" She asked.

Robin withdrew the needle and eyed it suspiciously. "I don't know. He could have been poisoned, but I don't know of any poison that can do this. I'm going to have to send it to…"

Robin was cut off by a moan that escaped the strange boy as he started to stir. He opened his eyes slightly to reveal glowing, neon green eyes. His eyes dazedly looked around the room and widened when he realized he had no idea where he was. He tried to sit up, but quickly found out that he was bound to the bed, causing him to freak out more. A black-gloved hand rested on his shoulder and gently pushed him back. "Hey calm down, we won't hurt you. We found you unconscious and brought you here to monitor you and wait for you regain consciousness." Robin told the boy. He seemed to calm down a little at those words.

"So, you're not going to dissect me? Or rip me apart 'molecule-by-molecule'?" The white-haired teen asked with scared wide eyes.

"Why would we want to dissect you?! That's just cruel… and gross!" Kid Flash retaliated.

The new teen let out a sigh of relief, which Robin noticed and took a mental note of. "So, who are you guys anyway?" The boy asked as he looked around the room, with a raised eyebrow expression, at the masked faces of the others.

M'gann jumped at this opportunity (literally) by flying to the teen and grabbing his hand in a handshake, which was difficult considering his wrists were tied to the bed. "Hello. My name is Miss Martian." She then proceeded to point to the rest of the present team members. "That's Superboy, Kid Flash, and Robin." She then regarded him with excitement in her eyes. "What's your name?"

"Never heard of you guys before? And, I'm Danny, Danny Phantom." Danny continued to look at the green-skinned girl before looking slightly annoyed. "You can stop shaking my hand now you know…"

"Oops. Sorry." She replied as she withdrew her hands.

Kid Flash was about to ask how he never heard of them, especially Robin, when the Boy Wonder asked a question of his own. "So Danny, where are you from?"

"Amity Park." Behind his domino mask, Robin's eyes narrowed and eyebrows furrowed. That place doesn't exist…

"Do you know how you got here?"

Danny seemed to be thinking hard about that question. "Last I remember, I was fighting Technus and won…" He seemed to be lost in thought for another few seconds. "Then Plasmius showed up gloating about some plan to get rid of me that involved the infi…map… Oh no." His eyes widened in horror. "Oh no, no, no, no, no! This can't be happening! I can't believe that fruit-loop actually got it to work! I have to get back!"

At this point, Kaldur and Artemis arrived. "Get back to where my friend?"

"My home! I have to save them!" Realization dawned on his pale face then fell into a sad look. "That is, if there is anything left of my home to save."

Artemis took her chance and walked toward the newcomer. "Hey, I'm Artemis." She held out her hand and waited for him to shake it, and when he moved to do so, he felt the pull of the bonds on his wrists. "Darn it!" He said. Artemis then started to work on the bonds. "Here, if I release you, do you promise to stay here and talk to us? I promise we won't hurt you. We just want to help." After receiving a nod from Danny she undone the bonds and he sat up while rubbing his wrists. "Thanks."

"And my name is Aqualad. It is good to see you awake and well."

Wally then took his turn to speak. "So… Umm… Not to sound nosy or insensitive or anything, but why do you have no heartbeat but somehow you are breathing and alive? Why are both your eyes and your body glowing? Not to mention the white hair, and let's not forget the green blood."

Danny chuckled a little at the questions KF asked. "Wow, you like to get straight to the point don't you?" He released a sigh and looked up at the team. "Well, a promise is a promise. I don't try to escape and you don't hurt me. You see, I'm sort of… Sort of a ghost." He decided he might as well tell them the truth out of the gate. He felt that he could trust these people.

"Dude, a ghost? Really? You couldn't think of anything better to say than that?" KF stated, disbelieving.

"Whether you believe it or not, it's what I am. I don't have a heartbeat because I'm, well, dead. My eyes and body glow because of my ghostly aura and energy, my hair is white because it just is, and my blood is green because it isn't really blood. It's ectoplasm. Oh and I breathe because… because… Hmm, you know, I'm not really sure."

"But ghosts aren't real! Aliens, yes; Magic, maybe; but ghosts! No way!" KF started to sound angry. "Science can never explain 'ghosts' since they have no biological base, so therefore they don't exist!"

"Well, where I come from, ghosts do exist and attack my town multiple times a day. The science also exists. We have ghost hunters with specialized weapons that can actually harm ghosts and send them back to the ghost zone where they belong."

"Whoa! There's a ghost zone?" Robin asked excitedly. "That's so cool!"

"Well, there is where I come from. And trust me, not so cool inside the zone where most of the inhabitants want you dead. One even wants my pelt resting at the foot of his bed." Danny replied.

"Okay… Ew… That's rather disconcerting."

"So what makes you any different from the ghosts you say attack on a daily basis?" Superboy asked. "Aren't ghosts evil?" Danny chuckled in response to Superboy's question. "HehHeh! No, not all ghosts are evil. The majority just want to be left alone really. As for me, I fight the ghosts that like to cause trouble."

Superboy's eyes narrowed. "Why would you attack your own kind?" He asked accusingly.

"Ah, because they are trying to hurt the people of my hometown, including my friends and family. Why else? Plus, there are a few who come to the human realm just to fight or hunt me." Danny looked at the faces of the teens around him. 'Well Fenton. You might as well tell them. If you truly are stuck in another dimension for now, you better start off on the right foot and actually trust people with your secret.' Danny took a deep breath and continued. "And they aren't really my 'kind'. You see, I'm not all ghost. I…I'm actually only part ghost. Other ghosts call me the halfa."

"So if you're only half ghost, then what is the other half?" Artemis decided she would ask the obvious question that lingered.

"Human."

Kaldur stepped forward a bit. "Tell me my friend, how is it possible to be half ghost, and half human?"

"If you are sure you want to know, then you may want to grab some seats. This may take a while." Danny's stomach decided that it would growl at this point, and loudly. The team looked at him as he blushed and looked down to avoid their gaze.

"Dude, if you're hungry, all you have to do is ask. I have to say, I wouldn't mind having something to eat right about now." Kid Flash stated. "Ow! What'd you do that for?" KF asked while rubbing his arm where Artemis hit him.

"You just ate like, 45 minutes ago!"

"So? I need all the food I can get with my metabolism." KF retorted.

"I, I'm sorry. I don't mean to trouble you." Danny said, face still slightly red and facing his feet. "I just haven't eaten in a while. It was busy back home the past couple of days and it was hard to get in a decent meal." He admitted.

"It is fine." Kaldur reassured. "We can fix you something to eat. What would you like? Do you prefer anything specific?"

"No, I'm not a picky eater. Thanks." Danny said with a slight smile.

"Alright team, we will move to the kitchen and living room areas where it is more comfortable for everyone. Do you require assistance Danny?" Danny nodded. "Yeah, I have been out for a while and fighting ghosts for 2 days straight has left me more than drained."

Robin and Kid Flash removed the wires connected to Danny and waited for him to grab onto them so they could help him out.

"Wow! You're freezing! I can feel you through my gloves. Batman even designed them to protect me from Mr. Freeze!"

"Heh, sorry. Kind of comes with the territory of being a ghost. You know, sending chills up peoples spines and all that."

"So, how are we able to touch you and pick you up if you're a ghost? And, why are you walking? Wouldn't you rather fly?" Kid Flash asked, trying to satisfy his curiosity as well as disprove Danny as a ghost.

"Not all ghosts are intangible all the time you know. Also, I'm still half human remember. As for the walking, I can't fly with my energy reserves so low, and I don't fly all the time just because I can you know."

"I know how you feel with the energy thing. If I don't eat multiple meals a day with my metabolism, I get drained of energy and can't run as fast or as far without getting tired."

The three boys entered the kitchen and living room area, and were welcomed with the smell of eggs and bacon. The boys set Danny down on one of the chairs and took up a small sofa themselves. Danny looked around at his surroundings and realized that he was in a cave of some sort that was set up to be a home or base of some kind. But his thoughts became distracted as the smell of bacon began making his and Kid Flash's mouths water. They never had to wait long before 2 plates came floating out of the kitchen and onto the laps Kid Flash and Danny.

Danny looked up at Miss Martian and smiled. "Thanks. I really appreciate it."

"Don't worry. I was all too happy to do it."

Aww... It's the end of the chapter :( But don't worry, I am working on the next chapter right now and will hopefully upload it within the next day or two! :)

Hope everybody enjoyed the weekend!
