Location: Gotham Academy

Date: September 5th

Time: 1515hrs EST

The shrill ringing of the school's bell resonated through the hallways of Gotham Academy, signalling the end of the day. As students piled into the large elegant hallways, the two wards of a certain billionaire quietly slipped into the chaos. The older of the two had his head hung in the universal sign of defeat. "I'm dead. What's left of my life is over."

"It can't be that bad, can it? I mean yes Artemis recognized you, but I don't think that she realized exactly what was going on. And don't forget, we are solving this issue tonight anyway. Just stay traught until then OK."

Danny looked at Dick, a confused expression present on his face. "What are you talking about?"

"I'm referring to Artemis recognizing you and the possibility of her putting everything together. Why? Is that not what you were referring to?"

"Great, I wasn't even thinking about that until now. Thanks for the extra stress dude. I was actually referring to the workload here. We were only given the syllabuses for this semester and I already feel overwhelmed." Looking over at Dick and seeing his mischievous grin he quickly added, "Don't say it!" Dick chuckled at his quick response.

"Why is this little of a load such a big problem? Didn't you do this type of material in your old school?"

"Well yeah but I can't even say that my grades were in the toilet anymore because that would actually be an improvement. They more like, in the sewers. No hope of getting them back up before school ended."

By now the boys have reached the main doors of the academy and were making their way toward the gate where Alfred was already waiting for them. Once the boys had climbed in the car and were on their way, Dick looked to Danny, "So, was it because you couldn't understand the material?"

Danny shook his head. "Not really. If it was a matter of not understanding the material I could have easily had my sister tutor me. She's a bit of a genius and she wants to be a psychologist, which is bad luck for me since she likes to analyze me, my brain, and my obsession. My problem was all the ghost attacks I had to deal with. I constantly had run out of class and to be absent more than I was present, and when I was present I ah, was usually asleep."

"Well I guess it is a good thing that you don't have to worry about that now huh? And I can help you whenever you need it. I am well read and doing very well in all my subjects. And if I can't help you, I'm sure Wally wouldn't mind."

Danny didn't know who this 'Wally' was, but gave the younger teen a sincere smile before turning to face the front of the car again. "I just hope that I don't disappoint Bruce. I mean he was nice enough to take a kid he has never met before into his home and provide for him. I… I just want to try and pay him back in some way for everything he has done for me so far. I never showed my true potential back home and my parents were always worried over me. I never done anything academically as of late to make them proud of me like they were of Jazz, and now I can't even make it right and be seen as someone to be proud of in their eyes. I don't want to make that same mistake. I want to make Bruce proud so he won't regret his decision about me."

After a moment, the silence was broken when a familiar voice with an English accent cut in, voicing his thoughts. "Master Daniel, I'm sure that your parents were always proud of you, whether you thought so or not. They raised a wonderful young man and I believe that there is no way that they couldn't feel proud of you. And don't worry about Master Bruce. He can see someone's true potential better than anyone else and will push you to achieve it. Of course he will expect you show an effort to improve yourself, but no matter the outcome he will always be proud of you."

Danny and Dick exchanged reassured smiles before looking back to the man behind the wheel. "Thanks Alfred. I needed to hear that. I really appreciate it."

"You're welcome Master Daniel. Oh, and Master Richard, that little speech applies to you as well. Always keep what I said in mind alright?"

"Sure thing Al."

Location: Batcave

Date: September 5th

Time: 1524hrs EST

Beneath the massive property that is the Wayne Mansion, Bruce Wayne, now the Batman, is sitting in front of a large monitor. Displayed on this large monitor are 4 very well-known members of the Justice League: Flash, Green Arrow, Black Canary, and of course the man of steel himself, Superman.

"You are honestly telling us that you took in a completely unknown kid who just appeared out of nowhere, and in the middle of Mount Justice no less! Are you sure that this boy isn't a threat, Batman? What if he was sent here to gather information on the league? You could have just allowed a threat to just walk in and have complete access to everything!"

"I have to agree with Supes on this one Bats." The speedster quickly spit out. "We have no way of ensuring the safety of the kids! How are we supposed to trust this boy with their lives, especially while on a mission!"

"I never asked you trust him Flash. I am, however, asking you all to trust me. When have I ever led you wrong? I realize that we are taking a chance with Phantom, but I know a hero when I see one. And this kid… With the amount of power he possesses, he could easily over-run us all if he wanted to."

"Well if what you're saying is true Batman, I would like to see this boy for myself." Green Arrow looked towards his fellow leaguers. "Anybody else want to observe? They do have a training session this afternoon with you Canary. What do you say? Will you let us crash it?"

"If that is what you wish. But I will warn you now that I stand on the same ground with regards to this boy as Batman. He's only a 15 year-old kid who was taken from everything and everyone he knew and loved, only to be thrown into the middle of our world and our mess. I believe he should at least be shown the kindness and understanding he deserves."

After receiving nods from the rest of the leaguers, the communication was terminated. Not three minutes later two ebony-haired, blue-eyed teens dressed in civvies came laughing down the stairs, only stopping when they spotted Bruce standing by the Zeta-tube waiting for them. Danny walked straight toward the Dark Knight while Dick ran off to change into his uniform. While jogging back, Dick was fiddling with his mask, ensuring it was on straight and tight. "Sometimes this thing is a real pain… Um, aren't you going to change Danny?"

"Well, unlike some people, I can get changed wherever and whenever I want. Besides, the team knows who I am anyway so I don't need to get changed yet."

"Yeah, yeah okay. Are we going or what?" Following those words, Robin stepped into the tube and disappeared is a flash of light, only to be quickly followed by Danny. "Hey wait for me!"

Location: Mount Justice

Date: September 5th

Time: 1538hrs EST

'Recognized: Robin, B01. Recognized: Phantom, B08. Recognized: Batman, 02.'

After hearing the computer announce the arrival of the Bats and their newest member, Kid Flash sped to the tubes to greet them, frightening Danny by his sudden arrival.

"Finally! What took you guys so long? I was wondering if you would ever show up!"

Danny looked at the fast talking teen in front of him, not having understood a single word he said. "Dude, slow down. I couldn't understand anything you just said. You need subtitles or something, you know that."

"All of the mentors and Canary are here, as well as a few other members of the league! What's going on Rob? You usually know what's up."

"Sorry KF, not this time. I have my suspicions though. Come on, I don't think there's any point in us standing here by the zeta tubes all day. Since the league is here, you might wanna change Danny. Where are they anyway?"

"They're waiting in the gym."

After a quick flash of light Danny Fenton became Danny Phantom. Kid Flash whistled at the light show. "I don't know if I will ever get used to that. So cool!" Robin, Phantom and Kid Flash made their way towards the gym and upon entering were greeted by the stares of the many costumed heroes. Once he realized everybody was staring at him, Danny looked down at his costume with a confused look. "What? Do I have toothpaste on my uniform or something?"

Batman stepped out from behind Danny and placed a large hand on his shoulder. For reassurance or to make sure he didn't try to avoid the heroes by going invisible and escaping, we will never know. "Phantom, these are some of the members of the Justice League, an organization that protects the Earth from villains and consequent chaos and destruction. These leaguers are here to witness you and your power for themselves in order to determine if they should place their trust in you or not. That's Green Arrow, Flash, Superman, Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Black Canary"

Kid Flash and Robin didn't like the sounds of this. He was a powerful teen, yes, but he was also kind hearted, wise, and fun to be around. Unlike many people, this boy was not a fake. He truly had a kind heart that was literally obsessed with protecting people. And just by being near him, a feeling of safety and warmth surrounded you, putting your mind at ease; At peace.

When they looked over at Danny, he just shrugged it off. "That's cool. I understand why they're worried about me. I'm going to be working on potentially dangerous missions with their partners after all and I guess that they want to be sure I won't do anything that would hurt them or wind up with them getting injured. Right?"

Seeing the honesty and nobility of the white-haired teen, a few of the leaguers already changed their minds about the boy. After all, if he truly was malevolent in any way, wouldn't he be intimidated by this proposition? But Phantom never flinched.

Danny watched (and blushed) as a blond haired woman dressed in a tight black suit with a blue jacket made her way through the crowd and walked toward him. He had to admit, she was really good looking.

"Hello Phantom. I'm Black Canary, the training instructor for the team. It's nice to meet you," Canary said as she introduced herself, "and to have you joining the team." She finished with a smile as she offered him her hand. Danny smiled up at her and took the offered hand, failing to notice that the spectators have begun to back away. Canary clutched Danny's hand in a harder grip and flipped him over her, throwing him as far as she could. Danny let out a quick yelp due to the unexpected attack but quickly recovered by flipping himself over and landing in a crouch, glaring at the woman who threw him so effortlessly.

"Good recovery. Take note team, after recovering from a surprise attack, he didn't return the attack right away. You would do well to remember this as it gives you a few seconds to clear your mind and assess the situation. Good form as well Phantom. Now, come at me."

Danny looked at Canary confused. "Why? I don't want to hurt you."

"Training is mandatory. If you won't come after me, then I have no choice but to go after you."

Black Canary rushed forward throwing punches and kicks at Phantom who effectively dodged. The whole thing looked like a dance; so fluid, free, and awe inspiring. "Why won't you fight back Phantom? Don't be afraid to fight back for fear of hurting me. How can the league trust you when you refuse to show them what you can do?"

"Alright, alright! But remember, you asked for it." Phantom ducked under one of Canary's punches, dodged a left knee jab and caught the following right foot as it came flying toward his face, in his two hands. Taking advantage of this, Phantom kicked her left foot out from under her while twisting her captured right foot, resulting in her to come crashing down onto the floor on her stomach. Kneeling down across her legs and taking a hold of both her arms, he effectively took down Canary and ensured she was going to stay there until he let her up.

The league just stared in wide-eyed amazement. This kid just took down Black Canary! Danny let loose his hold on the leaguer, stood in front of her with a concerned expression and offered her his hand to help her up. "Are you alright? I didn't hurt you did I?"

Grinning, she replied "Just my pride. That was an excellent fight Phantom. Where did you learn to fight like that?"

Danny shrugged in response. "Nowhere really, I just sort of learned on the job ya'know. I've been fighting ghosts for a little over a year now, and when I started out I was the definition of a total nerd. Heh heh! I was always that kid who got constantly shoved into his locker by the school jock. Huh, come to think of it, I still am the kid constantly getting shoved into his locker."

Canary smiled at him. "You are a very impressive young man Phantom. I look forward to sparring with you again during our next training session." Turning, she faced the rest of the leaguers. "Now will you leave the poor kid alone? I think that demonstration is plenty of evidence that the team is under no threat from Phantom. Now if you don't mind, the team is going to continue with their training session and there are too many people here for them to do so."

Kid Flash rushed to Danny's side. "Dude! That was incredible! You have got to teach me how to do that. Not even Rob over here can take down Canary as fast as that. You're my new hero."

"Thanks? I think…"

"Hey Canary! Can I spar with Danny? Pleeeeease!"

"I don't know Kid. He took me down rather easily."

"Aw come on! How can I improve if I don't go up against someone better than I am? Besides, my punches and kicks are faster than yours! No offense."

"Fine. Everyone else, pair up!"

"Score!" KF looked to see Danny trying to hold in his laughter. "What? What's so funny?"

"Nothing really, it's just that you remind me of my friend Tucker, getting excited over something like that. Granted, he gets excited over technology instead of sparring. Oh and girls. He always gets excited over girls."

"Dude, who don't get excited over girls?"

Location: Mount Justice

Date: September 5th

Time: 1730hrs EST

Danny flopped down on the floor of the Gym that the team was training in with Black Canary, sweat pouring down his face and eyes closed in exhaustion. His very slow breathing rate even sped up slightly. That tends to happen when you're fighting fellow team members without the use of any powers. Still, he was in better shape than some people, like Kid Flash.

"You OK Kid? You haven't moved since you collapsed like 5 minutes ago."

Breathing heavily he replied. "I. Can't. Feel. My. Anything."

Danny got up and walked over to the young speedster. "Here. Let me try something." Lifting his two hands to hover over KF's body, Danny closed his eyes and focused on drawing out the power within him to wash over his new friend. Once he found the feeling he was looking for, he allowed his body to sync with it, resulting in his ghostly aura becoming brighter. The rest of the team watched in quiet fascination. What's he doing now?

After a few seconds, Danny allowed the power to flow through his body and out of his hands to cover Kid Flash in an aura of his own. As the light surrounding him began to fade away, he felt renewed. He looked at Danny only to find him more bruised and scratched up than before.

"Phantom! What happened? What did you just do to me? And what happened to you!?"

Danny propped open an eye and looked at KF. "I used my healing powers. They still aren't fully developed yet so instead of getting rid of the injuries completely, I take them on instead. It's okay though since I heal faster than a normal human. I'll heal, eventually. What about you? Are you OK?"

"Yeah, thanks to you."

Danny smiled and closed his eyes again, trying to focus on healing himself. "That's good." Once those words escaped his mouth, a bright light lit up the room as Phantom reverted back to Fenton. "Ow! Great, now I hurt all over."

Artemis strolled over to the fallen teen with the rest of the team following close behind her. Once she came to a stop and placed her right hand on her hip, she looked down at the injured boy. "So how long will it take you to heal those anyway?"

Grunting, Danny sat up and crossed his legs like he was about to meditate and held out his two arms. "See for yourself." As the team looked at his arms, they saw the wounds repairing themselves right before their eyes. The team was awestruck by the sight.

"That's…Incredible."

"Incredible? Artemis it's absolutely amazing! He heals faster than me!"

"Minor injuries like these only take a few minutes to heal. Other injuries, it depends on the severity of the injury, the amount of other injuries I have at the time, how tired I am, how hungry I am, etc. It's a complicated process sometimes. Heck, I don't even know how I do half of what I do yet!"

"Well we can help you figure it out." Miss Martian suggested to him. She may not look like it, but she is curious about Danny and his abilities, some of which are similar to what her Uncle J'onn can do. "I-I mean, if you would like us to. We don't wish to intrude!"

Danny smiled at the young Martian girl. "Thanks. I appreciate it, really! It's just-"

Suddenly the voice of Batman came over the speakers. "Team, mission assignment. Meet in the briefing room. You have 5 minutes."

The members of Young Justice looked at each other with wide grins, some even throwing in a shout of 'finally!'. Meanwhile, Danny just stared at them confused. "Can someone tell me what's going on?"

Robin smiled at Danny, but Kid Flash answered his question. "Dude, didn't you hear the Bats?" After receiving a blank look and a couple of stunned blinks, KF decided to elaborate smiling a huge smile while he done so. "We have a mission; Your first mission!"

Danny smiled wildly at the young speedster. "Well what are we waiting for!" Jumping into the air, Danny allowed his transformation rings to pass over him once more. Once transformed, he hovered in the air and looked to the team. "Lets go!" With that, he took off flying in a random direction only to return seconds later rubbing the back of his neck. "So where is the briefing room again?"
