Seeing Sounds
Chapter 3
Amity Park
"It is faith in something and enthusiasm for something that makes life worth living."
Oliver Wendell Homes
"This is going to be so cool," Kid Flash said as they entered the training area where Batman was waiting for them to give them the paperwork to seize anything they needed from FentonWorks.
"Where is Phantom?" Batman asked looking for said teen. Robin stood up.
"I'll go," he said running to Phantom's room. He stopped at the door when he saw Phantom's symbol on the front. "No way. Phantom?"
"I was wondering when someone was going to come and try to find me," Phantom said behind him. "I thought that would be cool."
"Does that mean you're staying?" Robin asked with hope in his voice. Phantom chuckled.
"We are taking my parents inventions here," Phantom said smiling. "I'm not leaving them anywhere without me. So yeah, I guess I am staying."
"Yes," Robin said excitingly. "We have to tell the others."
"Not yet," Phantom said grinning. "I want to see how long they can go before they figure out my answer."
"I thought you wanted to wait?" Robin asked confused as they walked back.
"I told Batman what I was going to do. Even if I don't want back in the hero business, I can still stay here and help out," Phantom said smiling. "I doubt that'll happen. I still have an obsession, and it deals with keeping those around me safe."
"You are going to torture everyone until they realize what you have decided," Robin said smiling. "I'll keep quiet, I have got to see this." Phantom smiled as they entered the room with Batman. Batman smiled at Phantom. He had already been told he was staying, even if he didn't want to continue in the business. He could still help out by telling them how to defeat ghosts, and then give them the files of the ghosts.
"Okay, I looked into the house," Batman said. "Since everyone was gone, and we didn't want to add that the son survived. I was able to talk to a couple contacts, and they granted us the access to everything we need. The courts couldn't do anything because the Guys In White wanted the Fenton research."
"They can't get their hands on that portal," Phantom said seriously. "The only one left who can open it is me. My dad decided to put a genetic lock on it so only Fentons could use it."
"They couldn't get it opened, but they have tried," Batman said handing Aqualad the papers. "Aqualad, you have to be at the door. The reason you are going is to protect Phantom. He won't fight humans." Phantom looked down as everyone gave him sad looks.
"No one will get him," Kid Flash said putting his arm around Phantom's neck. "We'll make sure of it," he said proudly. Phantom smiled.
"Thanks, that means a lot to me," Phantom said with a gentle smile. Robin smiled seeing Kid Flash bring his head down into a head lock. Phantom vanished and reappeared behind Robin.
"Hey, not fair," Kid Flash said smiling at the ghost. Robin looked behind him.
"That was awesome," he said. Batman cleared his throat and everyone was back at attention.
"As I was saying," he began again. "Phantom is in a lot of danger going back. Everyone will be after him because they believed he killed a lot of people." Everyone looked at Phantom confused.
"I…I" Phantom stuttered wanting nothing more than to vanish from sight. Robin put a comforting hand on his shoulder to make him stay.
"It's okay," he said smiling. "We'll hear your side when you are ready to talk about it. We know more than they do. They don't know who you are or the fact that you are considered one of the murdered." Phantom smiled.
"Thanks," he whispered. Artemis walked up to him and gave him a hug.
"You don't have to worry about anything," she said smiling. "We'll all be here for you." Phantom smiled and hugged her back.
"When you get there, clear the house before Phantom goes in," Batman said smiling small at the moment. He wasn't completely heartless. This was a kid that had no idea what to do after being blamed for the killings of him and his family and friends, and Batman didn't want the risk but knowing that he would be okay if his team was there. "There is most likely traps set up."
"I know of some of them," Phantom said looking at them. "But I can only get to some of them in my human form. The house will attack me otherwise."
"Can you explain it?" Aqualad asked. "If we can disarm them, then you wouldn't have to worry."
"All except the one guarding the portal, so make sure there are no cameras down there," Phantom said smiling slightly. "I do have to be human in order to shut the portal down so we can move it."
"You will help him move anything he needs," Batman said figuring the job might be bigger than he thought. "I'll have a couple leaguers in the area to make sure that some people stay away. They won't be seen by you, but they will be a simple line of defense."
"Let's go," Aqualad said turning back to Phantom. "Are you feeling better?" Phantom nodded.
"Yeah, I was able to sleep much better," he said smiling. He had a good night sleep on a nice warm bed and didn't have to worry about being caught as a human since they already knew.
"I meant from the Blood Blossoms yesterday," Aqualad said watching as Phantom walked. His steps were uneven, but he was no longer tripping over himself.
"I think it was the fact that I was getting shocked longer and how worn my body was," Phantom said looking at him. "The last time, it wasn't very long since my friend was able to think fast and get my other friend to eat them."
"Sounds like a good team," Aqualad said as M'gann helped clean out the Bioship so they could fit most of the Fenton technology and portal.
"We never really thought of each as a team," Phantom said smiling. "My one friend would call us Team Phantom, but we were mainly just best friends."
"Team Phantom?" Kid Flash asked running up to them. "That sounds awesome." Phantom grinned.
"It consisted of me, my two best friends, and my sister," Phantom said smiling. "We may not have had that many members, but we could get the job done, and we were always there for each other."
"That's what made your team work," Aqualad said smiling. "Why you could get anything done, you were always there for one other, even when not in battle."
"We were friends before my powers," Phantom said as Robin walked around.
"We're ready to go," he said smiling. They boarded the Bioship and began their journey to Amity Park.
"What in the world?" Phantom asked when they arrived over the city. There were ghosts everywhere. "I thought the portal was closed." Aqualad walked up.
"What are we going to do?" he asked looking at Phantom. "I'm letting you take this since you have more experience." Phantom nodded.
"Fentonworks first," he said pointing to a large UFO thing on top of an apartment like building. "There I can give you guys some of the weapons, and they aren't that hard to really use." Everyone nodded as M'gann cloaked the ship for the landing.
"Where are the leaguers that are coming for our defense?" Aqualad asked looking at the building. It was surrounded by Guys in White, who seemed oblivious to the ghosts running around. "What are they doing?"
"Clearly not their job," Phantom growled. "What is wrong with people?"
"I can see why you said ghosts tend to care about one other and humans don't. This is ridiculous," Robin said glaring at the morons. Phantom growled.
"I know how to get them out, but it'll cost us," he said glaring at them, he eyes shining brightly.
"We are not letting you go," Aqualad said. "You are the only one that knows how to get this done." Phantom looked at him.
"It may be the only way," Phantom said looking over the city. "I can't let them suffer." Aqualad put a hand on his shoulder.
"Phantom, that's not your fault," he said. "We'll save them, don't worry." Phantom looked down.
"Okay," he said. "But I don't think I can take this role until it's somewhat under control. My obsession can be dangerous." Aqualad nodded.
"Robin, do you recognize any of those men?" Aqualad asked motioning to the guys guarding the house. Phantom glared at Agent O and K.
"Those two," Robin said pointing out Agent O and K. Phantom growled. "They are Agent O and K. They were also the ones that failed to save the young couple that died."
"Phantom, no," Aqualad said not looking at the hybrid. Phantom's eyes narrowed at the agents. "Okay, I want you to tell them that the house is ours and that they need to leave now. They still have a job to do that they aren't doing."
"And if they refuse?" Robin asked. "Can I hit one?" Phantom perked.
"Can I help?" Phantom asked. Everyone looked at him. "What? Just because I won't fight humans, doesn't mean won't fight those two. They are most of a threat than the ghosts are. They won't kill anyone, just be annoying."
"That's good to know, then we aren't pressing on time," Aqualad said as Kid Flash and Robin headed over to the Guys In White.
"You will be pressing for time," Phantom said looking at him. "Ghosts may not directly attack humans to hurt them seriously, but the reaction humans have to them will change that."
"What about Red?" Superboy asked while a blue ghost flew though the ship.
"She only hunts me," Phantom said looking at the Box Ghost oddly. "I could see him finding a way out."
"Who's he?" Aqualad asked looking at the strange ghost.
"Box Ghost, the most annoying ghost ever," Phantom said smiling. "It takes maybe thirty seconds to beat him, or just sit there and stare at him until he leaves. He's not that smart, but he is the one that gets out the most. I have no idea how he does it."
"I AM THE BOX GHOST. FEAR ME," he yelled looking around, then he turned around and flew away. Phantom shook his head.
"Sometimes I pity him," he said looking at them. "Now what?" Aqualad looked out to Robin to see the Guys in White angrily walking out.
"It looks like Robin got them out," Aqualad said. "Phantom go invisible, I don't want people seeing you." Phantom nodded and disappeared. "Let's go." M'gann let the ship completely land on the roof of the building next to Fentonworks.
"Where will we be going first?" Superboy asked as they created a small circle with an invisible Phantom in the middle.
"The lab," Phantom whispered.
"Good to know that you didn't disappear completely from us," Aqualad said taking a breath in. "You were quiet and I wasn't sure if you were still there."
"Sorry," he said. "I didn't mean…"
"Quiet," Superboy said quickly. The Guys In White walked around the corner.
"There's a ghost here," Agent O said looking at the team. "Have you seen him? It's a extremely powerful ghost."
"No," Superboy said standing protectively around Phantom. Phantom smiled invisibly glad that they were going to keep their word about keeping him safe.
"If you see one, tell us. They are extremely dangerous," he said walking away looking at the tracker in his hand. Superboy growled slightly. Phantom put his hand on his shoulder.
"I wouldn't get into a fight, you might blow my cover," Phantom said smiling even though no one would see him.
"Phantom is right," Aqualad said as they entered the house. Robin was looking ticked.
"The portal you were talking about isn't here," he said. Phantom appeared and ran down to the lab everyone followed. "Phantom?"
"They hid it," he said smiling and pushing a button on the side. "To keep ghosts from getting it. Though pretty useless since they all know it's here. I'm guessing that's what the Guys in White were thinking."
"They aren't that smart," Robin said as he walked up to the portal. Phantom laughed.
"No, they aren't," he said looking at the portal with sad eyes. "But that doesn't mean they couldn't have found something to help them on their mission to destroy every ghost in existence."
"That's why we're here, Phantom," Aqualad said smiling. "We won't let them destroy an entire world just because they think they can, and that it should be done. It's our job as heroes to make sure that everyone is safe, and that includes ghosts."
"Okay," Phantom said taking a big breath. "We need to empty out the weapons vault. They can't get those weapons, and we need to clean up Amity." Aqualad nodded.
"Lead the way," he said as Phantom walked by to the vault at the back of the lab. He entered in a code and the door released.
"They weren't able to get into the vault at least," Phantom said smiling.
"They had to get permission in order to," Robin said. "They were in the process." Phantom looked at him.
"Guess it's good Batman found me before they destroyed the world then," Phantom said walking into the vault.
"What all are we taking?" Aqualad asked looking at all the weapons lining the room.
"Everything," Phantom said looking back at him. "They can't have any of it. They will use it to their advantage, and I don't want them to find any of my family's research." Robin looked at all the tech.
"This is so cool," he said picking up a small rod. "What's this?" Phantom looked over and smiled.
"Press the button," he said pulling out a thermos. Robin did and the rod turned into a staff.
"Okay, can I use this?" he asked looking at Phantom who was trying to gather all the thermos he could find.
"Yeah," he said. "There are three of those I think. My mom loved to use them." Robin nodded pressing the button again and clicking it to his belt. Aqualad picked up a box looking thing and turned it on.
"Ghost directly ahead," it monotoned. Aqualad looked up at Phantom who was glaring at the device.
"That's the thing that is constantly getting me into trouble," he said. "That and the Ghost Gabber." Robin walked up with a device that looked similar to the Tracker.
"That and the Ghost Gabber, fear me," it said. Aqualad and Robin both started laughing.
"I hate that thing," he said turning around.
"I hate that thing, fear me," it copied back. Robin and Aqualad laughed again and before anyone could do anything Phantom had taken the device and turned it off.
"Yeah, except it did that in my human form as well," he said glaring at it. "It and the tracker were about to blow my cover." Then something hit him in the back of his head. "OW."
"What is that?" Robin asked picking it up. "It looks like a boomerang." Phantom glared at it as well.
"That stupid thing as well," he stated. Robin threw it again and Phantom hit the floor as it came back to him. "It tracks me!" he yelled catching the device before it hit his head again.
"Well, at least we'll always know how to find you then," Aqualad said smiling. "I can see why you wouldn't want the Guys In White to have this, they can use it to find you."
"I'm surprised they haven't yet," Phantom said looking at the tracker. "I had this is my room to prevent my dad from throwing it. I wonder how it got here."
"Dude, where did it go?" Kid Flash asked running down the stairs and to them. "Did you see it?"
"What?" Aqualad asked concerned for his friend.
"The boomerang I found," he said. "It was awesome, although I thought it was going to come back." Phantom looked down at it.
"It doesn't come back, it tracks ghosts," Phantom said looking Kid Flash. "And it finds me just fine."
"Sorry," he said smiling. "Dude, this room is cool." Phantom shook his head and started walking around taking random items and putting them in the boxes that were in the vault.
"Why did you parents already have this packed?" Aqualad asked. Phantom tensed.
"Danny, guess what?" Jack yelled extremely happy…again.
"What?" Danny asked annoyed that he was being interrupted while he was trying to do his English work. Lancer was going to kill him if he didn't get it done this time, and he knew it.
"We were invited to do a weapons demo in Washington DC!" he bellowed picking his son up. "Isn't this exciting? I'm going to pack everything up and we're all going to go as family! Won't that be great?" Jack didn't wait for his son answer as he ran downstairs to pack some of their weapons.
"My family was invited somewhere to demonstrate them," Phantom said turning around to face the one box that Jack had completed. Aqualad walked up to him.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to…" Aqualad began as a silence filled the air. Phantom turned around and smiled slightly.
"It's okay, I don't feel as bad as I did when I first took off," he said smiling. "I think spending time with you guys has been extremely helpful."
"Good, then," Kid Flash said smiling and taking out a phone. "Does pizza get delivered?"
"Yes, but we have to deal with the ghosts first. We need the Guys in White to leave before I can show my face," Phantom said looking at Aqualad. "Most ghosts will go back by the mention of my name." Aqualad nodded.
"Robin, see if Batman can help with that," Aqualad said. "I need contacts to get them out. And I need to know when the other leaguers that he's sending are coming." Robin nodded and run up to the kitchen to make the call.
"Once we can get them out of here, you can help get them back," Aqualad said walking out. Phantom followed.
"Can you help dismantle the portal?" Phantom asked walking up to it. Aqualad nodded and they got ready.
"They're not here," Robin said to Batman over the web cam he set up. "Otherwise all of you would be called. Ghosts have taken over." Batman looked at him confused.
"We had no call in. They should be there," he said concern slightly evident in his voice.
"We can look around, but I didn't find any of them," Robin said looking out at the town as a ghost flew past. "This is driving Phantom crazy. He been calm enough about it, but he said that his obsession with it could be dangerous."
"I'll get there," Batman said. "If you need help."
"We need it," Robin said looking over the town. "There are a lot of ghosts out there. Can you meet us at Fentonworks? Phantom has weapons we can all use for it. There was plenty in the vault."
"I'll be part of a team heading there then." Robin nodded and shut off the link and walked out of the living room. He stopped and looked around.
"I really wish that meeting Phantom didn't mean that his family was dead," Robin said looking around the kitchen. There were drawings of ghosts on the fridge and something glowing under it.
"Have they shut the portal down yet?" M'gann asked entering the house with Superboy.
"I think that's what they are doing now. Batman and a small team of leaguers are coming to help us. There are too many ghosts for just us to deal with without Phantom there to help. We can't do this without him either way, but with the leaguers, we can make sure that he is safe as well."
"I'm not going to hold back if they go after him," Superboy said angrily. "There is a bigger threat than him out there, and he's not even one to begin with."
"It's okay, Superboy," M'gann said holding his hand. "Phantom is strong, he'll be fine."
"Psychically yes, but mentally?" Robin said looking at the door that led to where Phantom and Aqualad were working to take the portal down for travel. "I think he'll fall apart."
"Then we have to make sure that doesn't happen," Kid Flash said entering the room. "You should see his room. It's awesome."
"Why are you going though his room?" Robin asked. "Isn't that snooping?"
"Yes," Phantom said entering. "Superboy, can we get your help?" Superboy nodded and followed Phantom down to the lab.
"Okay, that was random," Kid Flash said smiling. "At least he doesn't seem to care."
"Probably because he doesn't," Robin said looking at the young speedster. "Batman had said he had almost given up, but I guess with him being with us, he has found something to stay."
"How do you know he'll stay?" M'gann asked looking at the boy wonder. Robin smiled.
"I don't," he said then turned around at a knock on the door. He walked over and opened the door to see Agents O and K standing there. "You're not welcome."
"Why so hostile," Agent O said glaring at the hero. "We're here to help since we are on the same side." Phantom walked in at that time. "You."
"Crap," Phantom said vanishing into thin air. Agent O took out his ecto gun while Agent K got out his.
"Get back here, scum," Agent K yelled looking around only to see defensive heroes ready to attack them.
"You are on a side of your own," Robin said lifting his weapon up. "Get out now."
"You are working with the enemy," Agent O said glaring at them. Batman appeared behind them.
"You aren't welcome here," Batman said. "I'll deal with it. Now leave before you set someone off." They both glared at the Dark Knight before leaving.
"We have dibs on him whenever he is captured," Agent K said only to be shoved against the wall by Robin.
"He's not going anywhere with you, scum," he said sticking up for his friend. Batman pulled him away from the agent.
"Leave now, and don't come back," Batman said as GL, J'onn, Flash, and Aquaman showed up looking confused at what just happened. The agents disappeared around the corner.
"How did they know he was here?" Batman asked looking at Robin.
"I answered the door thinking it was you, but they showed up and just walked in the same time Phantom come in to ask something," Robin said looking at the doorway where Phantom disappeared to. "I don't know where Phantom went though."
"Not far," Aqualad said while he and Superboy showed up. "He's downstairs, but he's a little shaken. I think they did more than what he told us."
"Most likely," Batman said. "He'll tell when he's ready, but for now we need to clean this place up." Batman walked past them and to the lab where Phantom was leaning against a shut down portal that had been drug out of the wall. GL and Flash followed while Aqualad told Aquaman and J'onn what was going on.
"Kid, are you okay?" Flash asked walking up to Phantom. Phantom turned to them.
"Yeah," he whispered hugging himself. "I'm good."
"You don't look like it," he said reaching out. Phantom tensed and backed away.
"I'm fine," he insisted and headed to the weapons vault. "Some of this won't be able to be taken by the Bioship since the portal will take up so much room, but since you guys needs some of it, we should be able to get everything out of here. The Fenton Jet already has most of it." Batman walked over Phantom and put his hand on his shoulder. The teen was tense and shaking.
"You are still hiding something about them," he said kneeling down to look into the teen's eyes. Phantom looked up at him and backed away into the wall.
"I would really rather not talk about it," he whispered sliding down the wall. "I was hoping to not even get close to an agent like that, especially in a closed space."
"Whatever they did, they can't really get away with it," Batman said. "If you are serious about staying, the league will put protect on you, and anything they did will be given to the public. They won't exist anymore and some may even end up in prison for their crimes. The league has been investigating them for a while now, and with you, we can get the justice many are missing." Phantom looked up at him.
"I'm not entirely sure about that, but staying, you told me that I have nothing left. Well, maybe some new friends helped in that," Phantom said smiling. "I have something to live for now." Batman smiled.
"Good, now what do these inventions do?" Batman asked letting Phantom explain them.
"I hope he decides to stay," M'gann said looking at Batman and his small team headed out with the Fenton's ecto weapons.
"Me too," Super boy said coming up behind her. "He gives off this feeling of peace."
"Glad to know I'm not the only one then," she said smiling at him. Robin walked up with Aqualad.
"M'gann, Superboy, here's a thermos," he said handing them one. "Go on and help catch the ghosts that are around. Kid Flash and Artemis will go next. I want to head in different directions," he said handing one to Artemis who was waiting on the couch the entire time to do something.
"Why do I have to go with him?" she asked annoyed as Kid Flash ran next her and put an arm around her shoulder.
"Because those three are going to be fighting once Batman gives the clear that Phantom can come out. While they wait, they are going to be packing up things in the lab." Artemis growled taking the thermos and running out.
"That should be interesting," Robin said smiling. Aqualad shook his head as Phantom walked out of the lab.
"No one's at the door, right?" he asked looking at the door warily. Aqualad laughed.
"You're fine now," he said as Phantom slightly relaxed. "What else is there?"
"The Opt Center," Phantom said smiling. "I'll fly it once we get it loaded. The portal will have to go in the Bioship along with what was in the weapons vault. Everything else can fit in the Fenton Jet."
"Wait, that thing at the top can turn into a jet?" Robin asked looking up at the ceiling.
"Fenton tech is much more advanced than that of anything else," Phantom said proudly. "Most of the unstable inventions and ones that are in progress go there. M'gann will have to keep the Bioship visible so I can follow, or one of you can ride with me and explain where we are going."
"We'll still need cover when we get to the mountain. We don't want people seeing ships going in," Aqualad said watching the grin on Phantom's face.
"Like I said earlier, I can turn it invisible with my powers, I done it before," he said walking up stairs. "For a whole day too. I was tired when I let it go, but we were trying to hide from the Guys In White again after my secret got out to the world."
"Why didn't we ever hear about it then?" Robin asked.
"You probably did, but I erased everyone's minds so that it never happened," Phantom explained as they were all taken up to the Opt Center via Phantom's powers. "I would have shown you how to get up here without my help, but I don't think my dad took out the ham."
"That's disturbing," Robin said looking over the city. "You can see everything from up here."
"I used to go on top and look up at the stars," Phantom said pressing a few buttons. The entire shook until it turned into a blip.
"I thought that this was a jet," Aqualad said looking at the giant Jack face on the side. "That's the biggest face I've ever saw."
"My dad was weird," Phantom said pressing another button and the blip was sucked in at the ship changed into a jet and landed on the roof. "Told ya."
"Okay that was awesome," Robin said looking at the ship. "I didn't think something like this was possible. Not even Batman has something like this."
"My parents were intelligent," Phantom said. "I wish I could've told them that."
"Did you ever tell them about you?" Aqualad asked looking at Phantom's sad face.
"They knew before the explosion went off. They wanted to be near me when it went off, but…" Phantom said tightening his grip on the steeling wheel he was leaning against.
"It's okay, Phantom," Aqualad said smiling at the hybrid. Robin walked up to him.
"Before I became Robin, I had a family. They were killed, and Batman took me in," Robin said smiling. "He helped me just like he's helping you. It's okay." Phantom looked at him and smiled.
"You never hid the fact that your parents were hunting you under another alias," Phantom said looking down. "They were calling for me before the chemicals were even mixed. They heard I had skipped class, but they couldn't find me. I was fighting Plasmius. At first, I had no idea what he was planning, but right before the explosion he told me that he was going to kill my dad and finally get me and my mom. I ignored him because he is always saying that."
"That's sad when you can ignore something like that," Aqualad said looking at Phantom. He looked down.
"Ever since he found out about, that has been his goal," Phantom said looking over the city though the front windows of the jet. "I just got use to it, I guess." Robin glared out the window.
"We should go," Aqualad said walking out of the ship. "We need to get these ghosts so we can go home." Phantom nodded and grabbed his thermos.
"I can say I missed this thing. I just hate being in it," Phantom said smiling. "Don't aim them at me." They nodded and started their way out into the city. Robin and Aqualad ran under Phantom who was flying above them.
"Don't move, Phantom," Red said pointing her weapon at him.
"And where have you been?" Phantom asked glaring at her. "I thought you were protecting Amity when I left, until I figured out that you were tracking me."
"I thought Batman was taking care of you," she said shooting at him. He weaved in and out of the shots. Aqualad shot a water blast at her.
"Leave him alone," he said glaring at her. Robin jumped up and climbed up the side of a building. Aqualad distracted her as Phantom flew to Robin and helped him.
"You're not going to fight her are you?" Robin asked. Phantom shook his head.
"I don't want to," he said looking at Red sadly. "It doesn't help me."
"Then I guess you'll be okay with my plan," Batman said appearing behind them. "I saw her attack, but I didn't know it was you guys. She gave me this bracelet," he said taking out the black bracelet. "It's designed to shock you using this controller."
"Okay, why?" Phantom asked looking at it warily.
"I cleaned it out and copied it, this is just a bracelet, the copied version," Batman said handing it to Phantom. "It should be able to trick her into leaving if she thinks that you are in custody."
"I see," Phantom said taking the bracelet. "It's light."
"The other one is heavier," Batman said handing the controller to Robin. "Don't press it. I want her to think that it's real."
"Cool," Robin said looking at Phantom as Batman hooked it to his wrist.
"If it does get pressed, try to act like it shocks you," Batman said letting it go.
"I can do that. I get hit enough to be an expert," Phantom said smiling at him. Batman nodded.
"I did put a tracker in it in case you get caught," Batman said. "Only me or Aqualad can take it off without taking off your wrist."
"That helps," Phantom said sarcastically. Batman smiled as did Robin.
"Sarcasm," Robin said after Batman left. "Nice."
"I haven't done that in a while," Phantom said looking back as Red come out to them.
"Back off," Robin said standing in front of Phantom as Aqualad used his powers to get up on the roof they were on. "Phantom is ours," he yelled holding up the controller. Red stopped and glared at him then looked at Phantom who had the bracelet on him. She smirked.
"Yeah, now I do," she said pressing a button on her wrist. It lit up but nothing happened. Phantom's eyes widen when he realized what it was.
"She had one too," he whispered backing away. She growled.
"You really are on his side. He sent all those ghosts. Get rid of him, and they'll leave," she yelled diving at Phantom.
"Seriously," Phantom yelled jumping up and flying up. Red changed and headed for him. "I'm trying to start my life again."
"My friend will never get that chance," she yelled. Phantom turned suddenly and had her off her board in the air.
"Yes, he will," Phantom said glaring at her. "You have to let him." She stopped struggling.
"He's dead," she yelled as tears come to her eyes. Phantom looked down.
"No, he just needs for you to let go," Phantom said. Red growled and pressed a button on her wrist again. The Guys in White showed up with the leaguers on their tail trying to keep them away from Phantom. One had a thermos and aimed it at Phantom.
"No!" M'gann yelled as one agent sucked him in. Phantom screamed the entire time until he disappeared inside it. The Justice League Members there started fighting for it. Robin and Aqualad joined in catching Red and Superboy and Artemis followed the one with Phantom in the thermos.
"We can't let them get him," Artemis said as she and Superboy chased after the van. Superboy started jumping to catch them. "Please don't let them get him."
Superboy jumped until he caught up when the van pulled over. A guy got out and shot at him. It didn't do anything. Superboy destroyed the van only to find that the guy and thermos was gone. He picked up the agent that fired at him by his collar.
"Where is he?" he yelled angrily.
"Getting what he deserves," the agent said smugly. "He killed six people."
"No, he didn't," Superboy said angrily. "He knows who did, and that's who we are after. You better hope he lives," he growled throwing the agent against the van and heading back.
"Where is Phantom?" Batman asked as Superboy landed and looked down.
"They have him," he said glaring at the ground. Batman looked at his computer.
"I have a tracker, but I won't be able to figure out where he is until they get him out," Batman said. "They can't go too far since their labs are here in Amity."
"We don't know where they are," GL said. "But they won't get away with it."
"I hacked into their data base," Batman said. "Once we have his signal, we have to move fast. They won't wait until he completely awake." Kid Flash didn't get what he was referring to.
"To do what?" he asked nervously. Batman glared at him.
"They will dissect him if we don't get him soon," Batman said turning around. "We're not leaving without him."
"What about that Boomerang?" Kid Flash asked. "I mean it is another Fenton tech, what if it works for finding him when he is even in the thermos."
"Good idea," Aqualad said. "We'll go to Fentonworks and see if they have anything to help." Batman nodded.
"I called in a couple more leaguers to help. That kid is afraid of the infirmary already, and this isn't going to help matters," he said walking away. "Keep in touch."
"Got it," Robin said linking his communicator to Batman's. "We'll find him and won't let anything happen."
"He's a good teammate," M'gann said looking out over the city. "I was hoping he would stay."
"He made a decision," Robin said looking at them. "He was."
"He told you," Kid Flash said. "Why didn't he tell us?"
"He wanted to see how long it took you guys to figure it out. He put his symbol on the door to his room," Robin said smiling. "It looked pretty cool."
"Well, let's see what all we can learn from our little ghost friend here," Agent O said grinning evilly.
"This should be good, it's about time we caught the Phantom," Agent K said setting the thermos down. "Get that scalpel; I want to cut in the Y in him."
"That's what I wanted to do," Agent O said glaring at him. "You cut half and I'll get the other half."
"Fine, whatever," K said annoyed. "Let's just get the table ready. We'll need to start as soon as we can." They picked up a table and attached the ghost proof restrains.
"This is gonna be good," O said grabbing the thermos and aiming it at the table. "Ready?"
"Yeah," K said as O pressed the button and let Phantom go slamming into the table. They quickly tied him up as he tried to gather his bearings.
"What's going on?" he said looking around fearfully. The bracelet was glowing slightly and sending the message to Batman that told him where Phantom was.
"We're going to have some fun," O said grabbing the scalpel and unzipped Phantom's suit and began. Phantom's screams reached the ends of the empty building. K slapped him across the face.
"Shut it, loud mouth," he growled. Phantom whimpered.
