Now, three chapters in a row. Enjoy~

-Danny's point of view-

I have never felt like my head pounding me before. Did someone tried to get me drunk? Then again, I wouldn't pass it by to Robin, if he wants to know that desperately. Does he know? I wasn't too sure and yesterday feel like a total blackout.

My head shook and decided to get out of bed. I noticed I was in my boxer. I must have felt like no shirt or pajamas last night. I grabbed my clothes, snatched the bathroom before anyone else could, and freshen up for the day.

I was pulling down my shirt-

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Three times…I knew too well who that was.

"What do you want?" I hissed.

"We need to talk about last night." He said.

Wow, he was not satisfied about last night at all? He had to get me drunk enough to know what he wants. I finished getting dressed and came out annoyed as ever.

"Well?" My arms crossed.

His thumb pointed the way down the hall, "Let's go to my criminal study room. It's private."

I blinked. Why is he letting me go into that room? If this was going to get him off my back, maybe it will work out for me. Once we passed his bedroom, we took an elevator, and it took us upstairs to the floor I barely go to. Robin led the way and pressed the number coding for the security. We entered into a room that had so much paper, files, pictures, items, and so much more in the room. Now, I understood why it was called as a study room and he was trying to learn who Slade was. Maybe he wanted to prove Slade is the ultimate criminal, with so much information on one person, and aspect of him to grasps.

It was no wondered why he shuts himself out. He's this much determined for years and take that man down. This bothered him so much, but why was he showing me this? He shuts the door and turned on the main light. The security, sound-proof, and camera were off-limits now. It meant pure privacy and nothing else.

"Look, I understand it is personal. I saw your eyes glowing green. Neon specifically. If you feel the secret should never get out to Slade or anyone, this room will be safe for you to talk." He was serious.

I blinked. So, I did mess up last night. If he's serious, that means there weren't any chance of hiding this too longer. Robin was willing to bring me here, unlike the others, and literally wants to talk about it.

I sighed, "I guess my eyes are the biggest give away." My hand brushed back my hair a bit, "Anything else did I give away obviously?"

"Other than last night, not really." Robin commented, "I noticed your eyes and they weren't human looking."

I snorted. I knew that already, if Vlad found my eyes glowing like that, he'd call it the 'scary' eyes, but in a sense, it was angry eyes. Robin must have found my anger that night or something must have been different.

"I guess I messed up, but tell you something…every battle you tried to do on me, yes, I was holding back. I couldn't afford to let Slade use my personal secret or to let a particular government get a hold of me. There's no one who is going to bail me out of there, if they do get a hold me successfully."

Robin leaned against the wall, "Not unless you're considered as a hero or in the justice system. It is against law to take human and/or metahumans."

My head tilted and eyebrow rose, "What's a metahumans?"

"Metahumans are people who were born humans, but they developed superpowers. Of course, that was started due to bang gas. It exposed to anyone who was smelling it or surrounded by it. However, there are several humans gained powers in different ways."

Now, I could see why Robin wants me to admit. He can protect me by laws. The GIW are known to follow the laws, rules, and everything else. I guess when everyone found out that one time, but no one thought to tell the GIW it is against the law to do that to me.

"When was this law created?" My arms crossed.

Robin understood where I was going, "About four years ago."

My head nodded, "Now that would make sense. I started to be a hero then, but the stupid government only viewed me what I am. Not if I am still human or not," I shrugged.

Robin smirked, "So you are a metahuman."

I scoffed, "More of, a halfa."

His body jolted at something new. He hasn't realized what I was capable of, especially what I am. I figured by avoiding to explain, I'd show him to understand. My core reached out, which I haven't done in months, and formed the rings at my waists. The ring splits the opposite direction to call forth my ghost side. The uniform rarely changed, but I knew it was pointless.

Robin awed at what he saw and I knew his eyes were scanning all over me. Somehow, he's the only person I met that doesn't reveal their eyes. Well, him and Slade. Slade, I can't even see his face entirely anyway.

"You are known as Danny Phantom." He declared.

He's good, "Yup. You are right. I am a halfa; half human, half ghost. Only ghosts know that, but everyone else doesn't know my secret besides my sister."

"This place isn't ghost proof, so why stay?"

I chuckled, "I already know that. I stayed, so I can remain normal in everyone's eyes, including Slade. Like I said, I can handle Slade."

"Interesting, but why hold back for so long? Isn't that dangerous?"

I shrugged, "I've used my powers when I duplicate," I showed him another set of me, "So, I visited my sister by doing that and use my powers at the same time. Although, a duplicate can only last an hour for me."

His mask narrowed at me to show his focus, "You've been doing this when you have free time."

I let my duplicate vanished and returned to human side. He was still into everything about this and for a hero like him, he's very open minded about everything. Normally, people would freak and think ghosts don't exist. He doesn't show that or cared, it proved he knew ghosts definitely exist.

"Yes," Why bothered hiding anymore, "But it did drive me crazy when you wanted me to go for my all."

"Why didn't you?" His gestured over to me.

I smirked, "I was determine to prove you wrong that I am just human."

"I'm human, but I don't hold back everything I've got." He was really missing the point.

I groaned, "You ruined the big point. I did it because one, you annoyed me. Two, to protect myself and my sister. Three, you hated to be wrong and I was determine to be sure of that. Four, it's my secret." I glared.

He chuckled, seeing where he had won finally, and I doubt everything would simple as I thought. Ten months and one messed up. I didn't expect to let this happen, but last night must have been a big deal.

"Which part of the government is trying to get you and breaking their laws?"

My head shook, "I'm not worried about them anymore. I always stopped them, even if they didn't know about my secret. They can't touch me here since I am no longer in that town I used to live in. If I am in that town again, they have every right to hunt me down."

The leader sighed, "So, would you like to be in the team?"

And he's serious about me parting in the team. There were times I watched them fight criminals through their screens and see how they handled it. I haven't been involved in a physical fight or battles in such a long time and had to understand that first. Well, Robin has been keeping on my toes for a while, so I can understand that I haven't lost that touch.

"Give me some times, but don't let everyone knows that you know. I'll consider it, but right now, I need to think about it." I informed him.

Robin grinned, "That's fine, but I am going to be asking a lot more questions."

"Let me guess, my strength, powers, and how I got them?"

"Yes," He was so curious and wanting the cat out of the bag by now, "If you do not mind, that is."

If he needs to know, then telling him the truth might not hurt. After all, Slade can't really do much if I do expose my secret.

"I stepped into the ghost portal, accidentally turned it on, and the portal fused its ectoplasm energy into me for half an hour. My friends didn't know what to do that day, but they couldn't interfere the ghost portal in progress working or they would have died too. My powers has a good list of sorts of powers. The basic are invisible, intangible, flying, overshadowing, ecto energy, and super strength on everything like muscle, smelling, sight, sound, and vibration." I sighed, "Ghost stinger, Ghostly wail, shields, Cryokinesis, duplication, teleportation, automatic translator, speed, portal transporter, future sensing within ten minutes, temporary power ability, ecto energy manipulator, and healing." I listed out everything. I took one more deep breath, "My strength limits are impossible to determine, but definitely ten times stronger than Starfire."

He was impressed to learn everything right now. I know how he is when it came to battles and this might help him. He understood how powerful I am and he doesn't realize how much stronger I can be.

"Is that it?" He curiously wondered.

I shrugged, "Beats me, I'm still learning all of my powers."

His eyebrow rose, "Still?"

"Unlimited powers," I shrugged, "You could say that I can stop almost all your criminals. It's the ghosts I have complications to fight."

"I have never heard anyone having so much powers on their hands."

I chuckled, "Believe me, it may seem like power, but they're energies."

Honestly, I hadn't thought talking about my powers or explaining them to anyone else besides Jazz. In a way, it didn't change a thing.

"If it makes you feel comfortable, I'm the only ones checking the camera of the tower. Cyborg only checks in the cameras in the Jump city. If you need to use your powers, feel free to do that here." Robin pointed out directly for me.

My head nodded and joined over to the wall of facts on Slade. There were repeated information, date patterns, and schemes that had already been brought out. The titan leader joined by me and we were staring what was in front of us. My eyes caught onto the time I recognized…the date I would never forget. I picked that one and pulled it to read.

Slade took advantage of kidnapping Raven, one of the Titan members, for a mere message. It was a fact Slade was partnering with her demonic father, Trigon, to send the message to open the 'portal' on the day she is expected. However, the day of the opening portal had happened on July 2, 2005.

July second…two-thousand and five. It was the exact date I faced Dan to stop him. The day…

"I promise…I won't ever turn into him! Ever!" I told them, before the fight against my evil and future-self.

I blinked. I forgot about that. I set the paper down and he looked at it. Then, he glanced up at me with much to his concern.

"Slade has the same pattern as a ghost. I can see how Slade proceed his plans. Have you attempt any fail plan yourself and go right into his trap, but back out before getting serious?" I asked.

He stammered, "No. You have an idea or plan?"

My eyes were reading the other newspapers or article about this criminal, "Slight, but I need to study more about him before I can. I think Slade is wondering when I will expose myself to the public, then there will be a certain amount of time he will come out, and figure out what he may be up to. Then precede forward with the plan," I pointed out.

Robin nodded, "Of course, he won't be fooled easily. I've tried to trick him thinking I am a thief in another disguise and other time, he forced me by the threats of my friends. I tried to be on his side and then, betray him. However, he was serious with the threats of their lives and I struggled to remain loyal to him until the rest of them figured it out and removed the nanobots he had inside of them. Then, I was free to fight against him without their life at risk."

I stroked my chin, "He'll be easy for me…but if he is serious about knowing my secret, there will be no doubt he'd have something against me." I was glad my sister and my best friend, Sam, taught me to recognize criminal behavior, especially when it came to all my enemies.

"You said you have teleportation, were those shown often in public in your town?"

My head shook, "No. I would go invisible or be in a room with no one else to witness me."

"Then, Slade will not be able take advantage of you that easily." Robin thought of.

How strange…we're actually getting along for once and being a team. I rather liked it, but I wasn't too sure yet. My hands rest up against the table and looked at the rest of the articles in my sight.

"Maybe, but from my experiences, a couple of ghosts can short circuit my powers and it wasn't easy to deal situation like that." I warned him.

He agreed, "I know, but Slade is difficult to predict."

I disagreed, "Actually, he has his pattern."

His mask narrowed and looked at everything again, "I don't get it. What am I missing?"

"Timing and schedules. This one here," I pointed with July second, "Two days before fourth of July." My eyes picked up and looked over at the other article and pointed that too, "A week before Pi day." My eyes shifted upward and pointed that picture, "That one is three days before Vegetarian day." Lastly, one huge picture of him, "Six days before Computer appreciation day. All of them are connected to everyone's interests or the big day." My eyes looked at the calendars of the year, "He will be attempting to be involved four days before Easter holiday."

He frowned, "How can you assume?"

"Easy, he has a counting pattern differently. He went from two days before, then a week away, but he went backward and adds a day extra which is three day. He's going back and forth, count forward, but then backward. Once he hits five days before anything, he goes back into that pattern. He doesn't attack randomly. He attacks on the days that represent each of you or the personality alike."

He finally understood and all was clicking to him easily. We spent time together on this case, learning about Slade; who he was. We backed up on some ideal plans and suggested a few things here and there. However, Robin respectfully kept my halfa a secret. Everyone else barely knew what we were doing, but it was better off they didn't know. I told Robin that I understood about the thief part, but this won't be a repeat. We'll still need them anyway, but to fight.

I was surprised none of the criminals were up to something today, but it was better off I had some times to think before getting involved something like this. Oddly, everything was changing to make things right and find out whom Slade truly is.

Shall continue by Friday/Saturday~
