Chapter 15:
Dani POV-
That was…weird, where would Iron Man get a Fenton Ecto-pistol, as far as I know, they don't usually give those out lightly. But maybe because he is a superhero he could pull a few strings?
I shook my head, there was no point in getting myself worked up about that now, the important thing is that he is on my side, or, at least he was on my side. I just hoped he wouldn't change his mind and suddenly think of me as a threat.
I floated into the bathroom and came out to see why Issa had called me in the middle of my conversation with Iron Man.
I crossed my arms and arched an eyebrow at her.
"What?" she asked innocently.
"You called me," I replied in a 'what-do-you-think' voice.
"Oh yeah," she shrugged like it was nothing.
"I could have been in the middle of…something!" I exclaimed, throwing my arms in the air.
"Were you?" she asked, now it was her turn to arch her eyebrow.
"No, but I was in the middle of a conversation," I glared at her.
"Oh, sorry," she said with a smile.
I rolled my eyes and sat down on my unmade bed. Ghost jumped up next to me, licking my hand. I laughed scratching his ears.
Tony POV-
When I arrived back at the lab, I was confused. More layers seemed to be piling on to this mystery as the days went by. None of this was adding up, at least not logically, and being that my brain only thinks logically, my thoughts were kind of a mess right now. I paced back and forth in the lab, thinking over everything that had been recently happening.
'First,' I decided, 'I'll look up that ghost that the ghost girl was telling me about.'
"Jarvis, do a search on the ghost that Dani Phantom was describing to me," I told him
"Right away sir," Jarvis said, imputing the description into the computer and running the description against all ghost sightings. Several files popped up on the screen, mostly by some crazy people who believed that they had been possessed by this ghost, but I was able to find several "legitimate" claims about this ghost. Including one article about how the "Wisconsin Ghost" was spotted in and attacked, surprise, surprise, Amity Park, as seen by Jack and Maddie Fenton.
I sighed, this was endless, every time I searched, I ended up going in circles. Deciding that it would be better if I focused on something else, I started thinking about the ghost girl herself.
"I know that girl was familiar…" I said to myself. Suddenly, I had an idea, "Jarvis, run a facial recognition scan of everyone in the system."
"Yes sir," Jarvis replied, and faces flashed across the screen rapidly, "Done sir. I only received only one good match in the system, but I decided to also run your recent searches, and both results received an 89% match."
One the screen flashed, Daniel Fenton first, and then Danny Phantom. The next greatest matches at 43% and 44% were Mr. and Mrs. Fenton.
I can't say I wasn't expecting something like that after everything I had found that traced back to this boy.
"Jarvis, none of them are her," I sighed.
"Yes sir, but they do, or at least most of them do, have the same facial structure as her," Jarvis replied, "And it should make sense that the ghost girl would have similar features to her male ghostly counterpart."
That sparked something in my brain.
"Jarvis, run Daniel Fenton against Danny Phantom," I ordered.
"Yes sir," after only a few seconds, both images popped back up on the screen, "99.34% match sir."
"Hmm, that would mean that, more than likely, Daniel Fenton and Danny Phantom are the same person, and if Dani Phantom is the female counterpart of Danny Phantom and Danny Phantom and Daniel Fenton are the same person than…Jarvis run Danielle against our ghost girl," I told him.
"Sir, no images of Danielle are in the system," Jarvis replied, I nodded slowly, that would explain why she would not have come up in the initial search.
"Take an image from the security footage in her bedroom, and while you're at it, run her picture against the boys too" I told him.
"Right away sir," Jarvis agreed. I tapped my fingers on the desk, waiting for Jarvis to return an answer to me, "Results returned Danielle had a 99.34% match with the ghost girl and a 89% match with both of the boys," I nodded, this was almost exactly the answer I had anticipated.
"So…" I tapped my fingers on the desk again, "Danielle is the ghost girl…the only question is how? How can someone be half-dead?" Then I remembered something else, she had also had a partial match to Daniel's parents.
"Jarvis, run Danielle against Daniel's parents, and then against Vlad Masters," I ordered.
"Danielle has a 43% match with Mr. Fenton, and a 44% match with Mrs. Fenton, but she only has a 19.82% match with Vlad Masters," Jarvis spurted out the information.
"That would mean, that either Dani really takes after her mom, or Vlad masters is not actually her father. It would make more sense that the Fenton's are her parents, but she referred to Danny Fenton as her cousin…how could that make any sense?"
"I do not know sir," Jarvis answered my rhetorical question.
"And Danielle definitely won't tell me, she didn't even trust me enough to tell me her secret," I said, actually feeling a little hurt by this information. Then I remembered why she wouldn't tell me, because of this secret she is constantly in danger from Vlad…
"Jarvis, run a facial recognition match between Vlad masters and the 'Wisconsin Ghost,'" I told him.
"99. 34% match sir," Jarvis affirmed.
I cursed, "No wonder she has been so freaked out, her so-called father could pass through this house at any moment and take her and there would be absolutely nothing that I could do about it!" I exclaimed, suddenly really worried about Dani and feeling really helpless. I decided not to tell Pepper about this, she would only worry, but, I realized, something had to be done to protect Danielle.
I looked at the gun that I had left on the table, once again disassembled.
"Jarvis, we need to add some upgrades to the Iron Man suit."
