I apologize for the hold. I have been going to work and gym with so much on my hand - plus, college is starting soon for me. However, I am spending my day off some writing on a few stories here and there. So, please hang in there with me. :'D

To Yuki100o, I have stated in the first chapter I have mentioned the pairing, so to answer your question, yes. This is RobinxDanny pairing (Hint: Robanny pairing).

To DragonMistress99, Glad to compare with the possible heights. In a way, the story will tell on its own. Other than that, the story will be on hold for Battlefield. We're having some difficult technologically. Well, I won't hold you off too long here. Enjoy your story here.

As for everyone else, I hope you all enjoy this~

Beast boy ordered pizza ahead of time after cleaning and he had have felt guilty of destroying the pizza my sister and I was eating. I showed no problem and forgave him about it. I understand already, but they didn't know why. Starfire floated and sat down next to me happily.

"What is your name? What is your favorite color? Will you be my friend?" She said so quickly.

I blinked, "Uh, Danny, purple, and yes?"

She squealed and hugged me, "Oh, friend Danny! It is delightful to be your friend!"

I was taken on an idea that she does not grasp English very well due to her alien background. I smiled along and everyone gasped at us. I turned my head to see if there was anyone around, but I was confused.

"What?" I took a bite of a pizza.

Beast boy shook his head, "Starfire hugged you and you didn't beg for air?"

I shrugged, "I barely feel that. My dad used to squeeze the air out of me, but it's impossible now for me to feel a thing from a hug." It is true, unless it's a ghost and their strength, then I was doomed.

Cyborg whistled and quite impressed. I don't know how much longer I could take this! I kept eating pizza for now and figured surviving my life is the only way to handle everything. Robin is still determining to break the definite truth and he will never find out.

"You say that like you survived everything, Danny," Cyborg took a quick deep breath, "I don't understa-"

The blazing red lights flashing off with shrieking high pitch noise. Everyone had rushed over to the big screen and reading something there. They were muttering the hero codes and that, whom to face this time. They commented about HIVE Five and dashed out of the place. Robin demanded that I stay in this center since it is protected. For now, I figured to play along. I turned around and noticed how much of a pig site mess this place seemed to be. There were trash all over the places, video games' cords messed up, sink piled of dirty dishes, and scattered books on the other side of the room.

…

Times flew by, but I sort of liked living in the titan tower. I was able to help them stay focus on fighting criminals and they let me take care of the center tower area to keep clean, cook food, and organize things – even Raven approved how I organized her books by placing bookmarks before shelving them or stacking them neatly. Starfire was learning more about English communicating and emotions.

With Cyborg, I spent time with him on his inventions and pointed out some minors to get where he should be. He was awed by the way, I knew advanced technologies, but I told him I had a best friend who knew so much about this stuff and taught me all of this. Cyborg reminded me of Tucker so much, but it almost caught me to grieve. Other than that, he's able to fight the criminals with stronger attack against them and better tracking system on them without needing to reach them. Although, it didn't work on them a hundred percent as we expected. We're still working out the kinks on that.

Beast boy thought he could beat me on DOOM IV video game and he had no idea how good I can play. Within an hour playing this game, I won and beat his butt. After that, he would love playing teammate to play against other players and getting the thrill of it. The first year of being a Phantom brought memories when I was inside DOOM and I was the ultimate cheat code. It won't be happening again for the rest of my life anyway, but I doubt there would be another opportunity like that again.

Robin…ugh, he drove me up the wall! His constant questionings, endless battle practices or training, and suspicious looks all over me. He refused to let me out of his sight, even when he isn't in the tower, and he got microphone and camera to check on me every so often. I would be so ecstatic if he goes into the criminal study room – or the rest of the titans called it Slade investigating. He noticed too well on how I act around everyone, but I haven't set my guards down around for anybody. I kept most of everything the truthful ways I could and acted normal as possible.

The problem is…Robin wants a chat. After ten months of being here, I was getting to the point where he had to stop before I snap. My patience is not to be test on and he ought to knock it off. Starfire was watching her late night show on Fungus World. Beast Boy and Cyborg are playing some game they invented on the roof. Raven is meditating in her room. For me, I was about to head over to my room and Robin grabbed a hold of my elbow.

"What now?" I groaned.

His head shook, "I don't understand you, Danny. You've been acting nothing of yourself. Is this a big secret such a great deal to you? We need to know so we can protect you better."

I jerked my elbow away from him and poked him in the chest, "I can take care of myself! Why must you know about this secret I'm holding? Could it ever occur to you that I don't? That's just…uncertain how to act normal? My life has never been normal, alright?" I scoffed, "Now leave me alone. I'm tired and I'd like to sleep."

I was walking straight to the bedroom. I was hearing the door opened up to me and about to close-

Nope, his foot stopped it from shutting and he walked in himself. Oh, great, the leader is going to give me a lecture now? Like he does for each and every member in the tower? His puzzling expression tells me he's serious, I finally figured that out after a while.

"That's the whole point! I recognize you don't like normal, but maybe, I feel that you deserve to be on a team that understands what it is like to be a hero or with powers or fighting for justice. The only reasons I had you in training with me to see when you finally use your powers or be the real you. This way, I can take some comfort in knowing Slade cannot have you." He barked.

I spun around and marched up to him, "Or maybe you don't understand. You don't understand what I have been through. Ten months ago, I'm supposed to be with my sister to protect her, be there for her emotionally and physically, and we lost our parents! We lost my best friends! If I had lost her, the whole damn world would have been a goner!" I seethed at him.

I've had enough with him being the boss or detective around me lately. This was a crazy cycle, bringing out the worse in me, and pushing the limits already. I blamed Slade for attempting to kidnap me for whatever dumb plans he had. Robin stood there like a frozen statue after some words I have finally admitted.

His head lowered as well as his shoulders dropped. He wasn't on his guards anymore, but I was too tensed about anything anymore. He doesn't understand where I was coming from.

"I do understand. I've lost my parents when I was younger. Just before I became the official Robin, I understand what it is like to lose a close friend, but I don't stop living or trying to be the hero I am today. I don't know your best friends know the truth, but I'm sure they want you to continue doing what you're used to." He explained.

That had stabbed me in the core to release someone who has a similar story, but he didn't understand still. Maybe, no…he only wants to know the whole secret.

"Just…get out. I'm tired and I want to get some sleep." I insisted.

He looked at me directly, "We'll talk more about this tomorrow."

"Whatever," I knew he wouldn't give up.

Robin is excessively ambitious for himself, but I'm a difficult stubborn for myself. There's no way he will find out about my half being's existence. We would not give up on our high dedication to make things work out for ourselves. Raven is the only one who told Robin to leave me alone or it will be ugly. He left me alone at least three days and he repeated the cycle. It's almost destroying inside of me with everything he's throwing out at me, but there's nothing I could have had done to change that.

We spent so much time on questions, answers, stories, bonding, and other things. Robin was working me to a double death literally. I wasn't too sure how much I could take it before it would be the death of me. His teammates were doing a great job to distract him or getting him into his regular routines.

At least, I'm glad to sleep…but the alarms can be annoying to the highlight of my night. I learned to ignore it, but my ears would have had pick up on who'd they fight. It sounded like they don't know how to fight properly or speed things up. They could be gone for an hour to four hours for particular enemies they have. Their lists go on and add on to the infinities. They think they have that much enemies? Try my list for a change because it literally never ends. They barely have two hundreds. I have over twenty thousands enemies for ghosts, but one-third of the ghosts are my allies. Although, I don't have that many friends in the ghosts zone, but I do wonder how they're doing without me.

Now, I missed them greatly. Frostbite, Cujo, Princess Dora, Pandora, Clockwork – I guess, Dark Gavin, Dani-

Dani! I haven't thought of her for so long! I wondered how the kid's doing so far and her world traveling. I haven't seen her since the last time I saw her a month before the death explosion happened. What about Valerie? I wondered how she's taking everything in lately…I can't believe I abandoned her, but she won't be dealing with ghost trouble and that will make her happy.

Because of the fact I am stuck here, I don't get the opportunity to visit anyone. Jazz is the only ones who visit me, but she's been busy working and something about dating someone. Oh, yes, she tried to bring a laptop in, but Cyborg confiscated it due to Slade at risk. He couldn't take my phone since it's impossible for phones.

There was so much on my mind, I was sort of wishing to go back to my actual home. The one Jazz and I set up here. I want to use my powers again.

Maybe Robin is right. I was holding back so much…but these guys don't know what they have gotten themselves into now. I couldn't afford it and need to leave immediately. This secret stays as a secret.

Then, a moment of my emotion felt like this place is my home. That's what I was afraid of…being attached to everyone here so close like families. Deep inside of me, I'm afraid to repeat another send someone home to take care of something and they die. They would die because of my stupid way not to trust my instinct on the matter. There will always be somebody getting hurt, injured, or worse, dead.

The guilt has been inside of me for so long towards my best friends' lives. I sent them to get the Fenton Thermos and I should have had it on me no matter what. I've made a mess to what I've done, but those guys would have argued that they sacrificed their lives for me to keep everyone safe no matter what. They knew the consequences too well of themselves and shook their hands with the devil. I was the devil they shook with, but I did not promise their lives would be long as Jazz and I get to live for. With everything on my mind, I could not sleep a wink.

I didn't bother to stay in bed and went to the center. No one was awake yet, so I ended up cooking hot breakfast. Of course, I knew Raven likes to have her herbal tea and arranged that ahead of time. I needed to keep things off my mind before I could go into deep thinking mode.

Breakfasts were finally made and I decided to sit down in front of the screen. I was eating my food and I watched some shows I haven't seen before. It was so strange for me to watch something, even though I'm used to movies and nothing else. News doesn't interests me anymore and they're bunch of jokes anyway. At least, my mind was distracted for a good while.

Care to review?

Next chapter, decided to post it up tomorrow. Nah, an extra today for everyone :)
