Okay, here is a new chapter! I hope most of you weren't waiting for too long!

Enjoy~

Jazz told me the date to their wedding, and it would be happening on July fifteenth. That's what was before we left, and I told Robin not to mention it until the day arrives because of the criminals like Slade. We're in his bedroom, and I saw Vian in his special bed. Robin pointed out his body is so cold, but I haven't felt the temperature before. At least, we can say our good-byes soon, but we weren't filling the void yet.

Right now, I am in huge trouble with Robin.

"Don't you have any damn feelings for me?" He complained.

I mentally groaned at the fact he does not waste his time. Somehow, I had wished my parents weren't using those chemicals. I was doomed from the start anyway.

"Come on, Robin. One sex because of my ghost half, I don't know. However, you are definitely getting knocked up tomorrow." I muttered.

"Without any romantic date?"

I blinked and looked at him, "Do you want a romantic date?"

"No." He denied it.

Damn, he's one of those guys who denies romance or dates. I pinched my nose bridge and thought about this carefully. There was one thing I learned when I used to date Sam and it has worked out well a couple of times. I cupped his face in my hold and quickly kissed him. His tensed muscle eased down, and he's nothing like the hero I recognize.

"Get some sleep, alright?" I patted his head, "Vian is getting buried tomorrow morning at nine. After that, we can talk when you're calm."

He seemed to be dazed out of this, but to some extent, have liked it this way. I guess I'm glad the heat hooked me up to him in a way, even if I had no choice. I left the room and headed to my bedroom for the night.

…

All the titans and I were out for the burial for Vian. We were looking at the baby who is dressed in lovely baby blue clothes, wrapped in blue blanket, and in a small size casket designed by Cyborg. I picked up the casket, closed it, and flew down with it in the deep hole. Once the casket was touching the ground, I flew back up and everyone grabbed a shovel. They all helped to put all the dirt back in as it should be. With the six of us as a team, it took about an hour. No one wanted to do this, but there wasn't a choice. It's heartbreaking, especially for Robin and me.

Once all the dirt was placed to its location, everyone left Robin and me alone. He was reading the stone and what I have had carved. I placed a titan tower on both sides of the stone, to make it more known where the baby was discovered.

I picked up Robin like a bride, and he was startled. His arms wrapped around my neck, and I transformed into Phantom and flying up in the sky.

"Where are we going?"

I hummed, "Out to ice cream in the whole wide world's best." I told him, "Nothing cheers us up like ice cream."

He was blushing, "I was not serious about the romantic date, you know?"

I shrugged, "I know, but an ice cream date is the way to go."

"Criminals are going to interrupt our date."

"Who says it's in Jump city?"

He was looking at me, wondering what I may be up to now. I used the teleport while flying by. I hadn't thought I'd be visiting the town again or giving it a chance to visit. Robin had picked up the differences in our town and realizes we're in the town I grew up and fought in for almost four years. He was seeing details that this town deals with. At least, no one could see us, and I was glad. I landed on top of one of the tall buildings and transformed to Fenton. I pulled out a pair of dark black sunglasses and handed it over to Robin. He's wearing a funeral suit and so am I. It's perfect for a date too, but I think it's a bit exaggerating as well.

"Here, you can protect your identity. The other titans told me you don't like taking your mask off around anybody-"

Robin accepted the sunglasses, "True, but only you will be able to see them someday."

I nodded and he puts the sunglasses on, then removed the mask without me being able to see his eyes, and we're normal citizens. I think…

I shook that off mentally and led him the way down the building. I knew this building because Vlad and luckily, it's the weekend. There's barely anyone working today unless they're in the restricted area off-limits. Another word, we're free to walk around without being accused by anyone or get into trouble. Once we're downstairs and out of the building, I pointed the way, and he followed me.

The town wasn't filled with everyone, and it seems like everyone stayed home, but there were people working or heading to work for the day. I headed toward the direction where I knew by heart, but I was afraid for the change. Robin hardly noticed my emotions and heading to a specific direction.

"It is peaceful here," Robin commented.

I nodded, "Yeah, ghosts aren't supposed to be around anymore. It should be peaceful here."

He turned to my attention, "What is it like to fight them?"

I shrugged, "It's like," I hummed, "The same way you handle them, only they have similar powers, weaknesses, and strength. When I fight your criminals, they're…well, easy to fight because they don't have the powers like I have. They're basic in a way. Ghosts aren't limited, but it is depending on what their personality."

I was seeing the statue, but the house remained left alone…or whatever left of it. I didn't let Jazz or myself visit our destroyed home because we were still fresh with pain. Now, I had no reasons to run. I wasn't alone, but Robin hadn't realized where we are exactly.

We stopped in front of the statue, there were police marks to prevent people going into the house at all. I was reading the title, how almost it felt like a déjà vu to me. I knew this experience, but nothing was going to change it this time. Robin was looking at the statue, seeing these four people had died in the explosion in this house.

"What happened to them?" He whispered.

I can recall the very day closely to my heart, "Mom and dad had a mishap chemical explosion. It killed them and my best friends. I sent my best friends here to get the Fenton Thermos because I did not have it on me. Everyone was completely destroyed, even the lab." I sighed.

Robin nodded, but it felt like he understood me somehow. His hand rested on my shoulder, and my head turned to him without needing to hurry.

"I lost my parents. We were all acrobats and doing it without a net. They were on the swing, and I was about to be a part of the flying, but their wire did not hold them. They fell down to their death." He was hard for the past, but he struggled to speak of it, "I found out that they were murdered by gangs…Batman took me and changed my life. I begged him to let me become who I am today."

He seemed to be cold hearted about the past, but in reality…he was hurt by losing them. I pulled him into a hug, and he was tensed. The longer I hugged him; he wasn't tensed and expressed his sorrow in silent.

"You aren't alone." I wanted to tell him I went through this twice, but I was lucky for the first time.

He took a deep breath, "I know. Even so, why are we here?" He asked that.

Then the plan recalled as I chuckled, "Oh, right, we're going for ice cream."

"Isn't it a bit too early?"

My eyes rolled, "Not here. It's noon."

Robin could not argue with that logic. We walked down the way, but I saw how people would hang out at the house. They haven't recognized me, and that was a good sign. Maybe returning here would question less, but Robin wants me to be a part of the team as everyone else does. Memories brought back what I did here, the goods and the bad, and nothing has changed. One thing has always made sure is I was late with my curfew no matter what. I begged my parents to give up with the curfew, and I'd come home when I can. They didn't budge and thought I needed to learn to come home on time.

Some things hadn't changed around here, Sam's parents were still here due to their house hadn't made the differences, and Tucker's parents are still here. I knew they'd stay to visit the Fenton House for the grave statue left there.

We passed Nasty Burger…I saw Dash, Kwan, and a few people from high school hanging out there. They're having the time of their lives and no longer fearing or dealing with ghosts. We kept walking down and found ourselves at the ice cream shop. I noticed they're under constructing and running their business at the same time. It's on the half side of the building, but there are several people happy to buy some ice cream for the day here. I knew where the lines were held and kept Robin by side to side.

It took about ten minutes to get to the cashier register, and this worker had barely recognized me. Sweet! That works out great! I double-checked the menu for ice cream to see if they still had it.

"Cherry chocolate sundae ice cream for me, please." My head turned to Robin.

He found something to his liking, "Pineapple vanilla please."

"Sundae, cone, waffles, or bowl?"

"Bowl please."

The worker nodded, "That'll be five dollars and thirty-five cent."

I pulled out my wallet and handed a ten buck, "Here," And getting my change my back.

We waited for a couple of minutes and got our ice cream. We turned and suddenly, someone's face was extremely familiar.

"Da-danny?!" She was shocked to see me.

"Valerie?" I hadn't thought to see her at all.

Robin nudged me in the rib, knowing that doesn't hurt, and he was getting my attention. My head shook and turned to introduce…then I realized I can't introduce without a name.

"Um, I'm on a date with my boyfriend here, and I thought ice cream would be a start." Did I just call him a boyfriend?

She nodded, "Yeah, um, by the way, Dani said she's been looking for you and Phantom." She has no idea she is literally talking about me.

"Tell her to find me here within an hour if you can." I told her.

When Dani visited me three years ago, Valerie was surprised to see we knew each other. However, Valerie hadn't found out about anything of my secret, yet; she hates my Phantom side. She only supports him to a minimal for Dani's sake. She nodded and smiled. She walked up a little to Robin and held her hand out to him.

"I'm Valerie. You are?"

He accepted her greeting, "I'm Dick. It's nice to meet you."

She winked, "Have a good time on your date…I didn't even know he's gay." She chuckled, but more for humor.

"Neither did I, but thank you." He chuckled along.

My eyes rolled and tugged Robin – or is it really Dick? – along to get a table. Valerie knew I would be more into the date and spend time. She waved, ensuring that Dani should find us later, and understood. She left us alone, and we headed over to the table.

"I hope you didn't lie to her about your name, especially she hates that."

He chuckled, "I have not. According to Vlad, I'm immortal as much as you are. So, you will need to know my first name."

I nodded slowly, "Acrobat, first name is Dick, and mysterious eye color." I hummed, "Oh, yeah, that's all I need to know.

"I can speak the same, mysterious half, no last name, and somehow got me pregnant. That summed it up nicely."

I chuckled, and we were enjoying ourselves. We're eating ice cream, and he was really into his. He didn't know how sweet and real ingredients are mixed into this. It lifted his spirit up a bit, and I figured, if the team needed us, they could contact Robin through the communicator. I made sure they all knew specifically to call us only for an emergency, or they'll be getting on my end.

"I'm surprised this sort of ice cream isn't popular throughout the world," He commented.

I chuckled, "I know, but personally, Amity Park's specialty is to be kept a secret with their delicious ice cream."

"True. Jump city is known for their pizza specialty." He licked the ice cream off his spoon.

I had to agree with him on that, "Jazz found out here on my secret, you know?"

His head shook, "No, I don't know. How did you get yourself caught?"

I chuckled, "I was having ice cream with my friends, and we were trying to figure out the ghost attack that drove me crazy and everyone else was severely depressed. I wanted to be alone and left here so fast, but Jazz followed me to the back. She saw me go ghost, but she never confirmed it until July third."

He followed along, "What made you realize she knew?"

I took a bite out of my ice cream and thought about it before admitting the truth, "…that's another story for another time." I wasn't ready to tell him how personal July second had affected on me.

Robin knew where to push and shove to get where he wanted. That's when he backed off on this subject just. It was too touchy for me, let alone my whole teammates – including Jazz. Vlad knew little, but I did not dare to give him the whole truth.

"My mentor is considered my father now," He changed the subject.

I blinked and nodded slowly, "So…do I have to meet him?"

He shrugged, "I'm not sure. I'd have to talk to him and another person. It's a very top secret in my life ever since I got adopted by him. I chose this career to keep moving."

"Oh, he's a serious vigilante hero, isn't he?"

He chuckled, "Yeah, but he worries too much. I proved him time and time again that I was fine. I expected that kind of sacrifices I put out in my life."

That's when I was being signaled there were more to why his mentor didn't want him in the justice field. I needed Jazz to understand who this Batman guy is and his big role. As if now, he won't talk about it entirely until I am allowed to know. It's the same treatment, I guess we all have our own baggage to carry from the past.

"Well, Vlad used to be archenemy, but that change now. He's serious about my sister more than he ever did for my mom. I guess he's going to become my brother-in-law soon." I chuckled, "I'm sure you've noticed I don't trust him easily."

His head jolted up at me, "You don't? I thought Mr. Masters seemed trust worthy."

I was surprised…Dick (was it?) It was easily accepting the fruit loop, but I wasn't too sure how that was possible.

"Why do you trust him?" I took some of the last bites of my ice cream.

"He was focusing on being happy with Jazz, and she portrays no abused victim. I can see he does not lie and straightforward about everything." He finished his ice cream.

I hummed, "I guess so. Jazz knows I won't let him hurt her, especially when she's the only family I've got left now."

He understood why I was against Vlad, but it would take a while to adjust someone I used to fight against for so long. It took nearly four years to an official truce between Vlad and me, and we have had changed.

"The one who know you well is the one you grow up with. I get that too, the team is my family as well."

I blinked, "How long you have been with them for?"

"Four and a half year," Dick chuckled and leaned back in his chair, "I can't ask for better teammates."

I grinned, "Same here. Your team is awesome. I never saw so many reminders of my friends. At first, I thought I was going to be having a hard time moving on. However, all of you guys kept me going and that's good. Cy is definitely like Tucker with all the technologies, meat loving, and loyal no matter what. BB and Rae would have loved Sam, she's a vegetarian and Goth." My head shook, "Star is a bit like Sam. They like to study different culture in a way." I hummed, "As for you, Jazz would be almost a perfect match. She can fight, but only when she's serious. Other than that, she's a genius and always on top of her class, especially her first year of college. She's a bit ahead and planned on graduating there within one more year."

He was surprised when I told him that. He set his spoon down in his bowl, and I cleaned my hand with a napkin.

"That's quite a comparison. What about you? Aren't you compared to anyone?"

I shrugged, "Maybe I'm like you in my fighting when I'm constantly guarded up and secretive, got the perfect match as Star's strength, and Rae's patience?"

I swore I saw his eyelids blinking through that dark black pair of sunglasses, "Interesting. I guess this would make sense about everything." He shrugged.

"Well, tell me about yourself." I had to know something other than his name.

He was quiet for a little while and thought back a bit. I didn't want to rush him and figured we had some time.

"I like action movies, pizza, motorcycle rides, and to be challenged. I like flying, walking and running on a wire, and shop for more motorcycles." He pointed out simple things, "I speak Romanian, French, Spanish, Russian, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, the alien language of Tamaran, and American Sign Language." He listed.

I blinked and stared at him. I counted each language he knew and those were ten languages, including English. That was something to admit to shocking me from my own heat-mate here.

"Why Star's language?" I blinked, "I doubt you live on her planet or visit much."

He snorted, "No, but there were a few occasions, and I had to learn their languages quickly to clear off confusion or warning. Of course, there was an alien visitor, who called her nothing, and it did not bold well for Star. I want to avoid from another repeat like that."

My hands grabbed his bowl and spoon as I dissolved them, "Well, you've got me. I can communicate in another language fine, even when Star commented about putting some sort of jail for my bully in place."

He understood what I had meant, and that's how it works out for me. Languages are even so to me, especially ghosts are known for that kind of basic. I came across to several ghosts with an accent, but their speaking language is native. Tucker, Sam, and Jazz had to struggle through with some of my ghost friends like Cujo or Wulf. Tucker knew how to speak Esperanto and was slow a bit on the language. Wulf was patience with him and when it came to me, it was natural.

"Still." His head shook, "This is bugging me, how long am I supposed to stay out of the missions for?" Now he whines.

I was warned by Raven and Beast boy that he will attempt to stay in action as much as possible. He stared at me straight ahead – despite the fact I can't see his eyes – and he wasn't waiting for too long.

"Until I say you're set to go. Just because you're healed, it doesn't mean you can bounce back up that easily. You're human, remember that."

He frowned, "I'm not having any symptoms."

"No. I-"

"Danny! Danny! Danny!" Someone was loud to call my name and so suddenly.

My head turned, and I have been collided by a young girl onto the floor. We grunted, but this was nothing. My eyes looked up and saw her long hair and beautiful face with robin blue eyes. We laughed since we do this randomly from time to time, but she's sending me her message this way. I hugged her back, and she hugged back tightly. Now! This is what I call a hug! A tight hugging that no one can make me feel but her!

"Uh, what is going on?" Dick peered over us.

She looked up at him, "And who are you?"

Right, she hasn't met him before or ever. I haven't been in Amity Park for over a year now. Dick barely knows a thing of anyone I have mentioned outside of my team, and he doesn't know much. I guess some things won't be much of my control.

A penny for thoughts?
