Well, on to the story!

Chapter three

The fair, questions and an old enemy

Danny POV

3 month skip

I woke up on the calm October morning warm and happy. I have woken up like this, feeling content, happy and whole, for a while now. 3 months to be exact. After the prof. allowed me and my mate, Rahne, live in the same room, I have been much more pleasant to be around. Rahne and I spend as much time together as we can. I personally like her werewolf form over the other two, because I feel more complete when she's in that form. I'm not quite sure why, though. Logan thinks it's because I subconsciously feel that she is showing who she really is when in that form and I agree.

A few weeks ago, I started working with technology like my parents did. So far I have made a special ghost shield that can block certain mutants/humans specific DNA as well. If we don't want someone coming onto the grounds we can stop them from entering past the gates. (Sabretooth was the first to be blocked) I had help from Dr. McCoy to get the proper energy wavelength. I have also perfected and built with Beast's help, a neural receiver. It scans the neural pathways in the body and converts it to an electronic signal that can be connected to any device. We are using a very low wavelength spectrum to use with the inducers to help me and Kurt with them. The scanner and transmitter, (one way only, don't want someone to tamper with our brain patterns) is a small node like device that is put just below the skin right behind our earlobe. The transmitter is unbreakable due to the adamantium Logan helped us find. I have also created a skin surface one for Rahne when she wants to help out with some tests that we do.

Anywho, my current project is something that I felt I needed: a ghost portal. When I was younger my parents had forced me and my sister to memorize all their blueprints, including the ghost portal. We are making good time with it. I am making sure to press the on button on the inside first before activating the power. That should stop the creation of a new halfa. We are about three weeks from completion, so we are making very good time. Especially since Forge came into the picture. He is the perfect man to help out with this stuff and he is the one that sped up the process for the portal building.

I have also asked the professor to look at mine and Rahne's DNA to see why our minds have connected and what will happen to Rahne if she gets pregnant. I'm really worried about that. The professor says he'll announce to us his findings when the portal is up and running.

Anyway, today is the county fair. I'm taking Rahne, and we are going to have fun.

We got there at 7:00 Pm so we have about three hours before curfew. We played everything, from the bumper cars, to the psychic, from the water guns to the "how strong are you" booth. (the guy had me wait for him to up the weight of the bell ringing thing a couple of pounds to make it a bit more fair. He also gave me the heaviest mallet, and I still rang the bell. Let's just say everyone was impressed. I even gave Rahne a stuffed wolf. She kissed my cheek for that :D) when we got to the Ferris wheel, I slipped the operator a fifty to stop the wheel when we were at the top. We got there just in time for the fireworks. When those went off Rahne and I shared a romantic kiss.

The time was now 9:30.

While we were walking to my car Rahne gave me a big hug and said, "Thanks love, I had fun."

"Me too, Rahne Me too."

Suddenly a chill ran up my spine and something that hasn't happened in over a year and a half happened: my ghost sense went off with the all too familiar wisp of mist. Seeing the mist, Rahne looked at me in confusion and then worry when she saw my very alert countenance. "What is it?" she asked with a voice laced with worry.

"That was my ghost sense, haven't had it go off in a long while." I answered while looking around for the ghost.

I found it in the form of an indignant squawk and a very angry yet familiar voice from above, "GET YOUR WING OUTTA MY FACE YOU PATHETIC BIRD!"

"OI! We are ecto-Americans not pathetic birds!" said another familiar voice.

"Ah great, the ghost zones worst hunter and Vlad's three henchman vultures." I said quietly as I looked up.

I made sure that only Rahne could hear me when I said to her, "Listen hon, get into the car and wait for me, I'll be there in a few, don't worry about me while I do this. Just watch, and laugh if ya want, I'm gonna mess with 'em."

Smiling evilly, she nodded and with a quick kiss on the cheek, she ran off to do as I said.

Turning I changed my appearance to a female, blond-haired, blue-eyed version of Lance. Looking up, I adopted my best 'dumb blond' mindset I could, and started messing with the dummies.

"Like, what are you? Like, some kind of ghost? You certainly don't look like one." I couldn't believe how I was sounding! I'm sounding like the stereotypical dumb blond that you would think of seeing.

The ghosts turned from their bickering and looked at me. Skulker puffed himself up like a peacock and roared, "NOT A GHOST?! I AM SKULKER THE GHOST ZONES GREATEST HUNTER, YOU PATHETIC HUMAN!"

Boy, I need some gum, that would make the performance perfect, "So what? You're supposed to be some sort of hunter? Lame. Besides you can't hunt anything, you don't have any weapons on you." Damn, Rahne I want to laugh my ass off at their expressions.

::I Know, right? Besides I am already!::

I can tell.

While I had this little conversation with Rahne, skulker was so enraged he couldn't talk. I decided to have fun with this. "Ugh, now you're not even talking to me? Rude. Well, like, goodbye then you weirdo."

I turned and walked away in the sauntering way the same blonds would normally do. When I got to my car I glanced behind me to see the vultures holding a sputtering skulker back. One pressed a button on a band on his claws and the quartet vanished in a swirl of green. I couldn't keep my laughter in any longer and I nearly fell on my butt I was laughing so hard. I finally managed to turn my inducer off and get my breathing under control. Climbing into my car wearing a big grin, I started to drive us home. Rahne couldn't reign in her laughter until we got to the institute.

When we got inside she immediately rushed me to the professor to have him broadcast the incident to the entire institute. Needless to say, even Logan was laughing hard when he heard about it.

After everyone calmed down enough to breathe properly, Xavier smiled at me and said, "thank you for the good laugh, Daniel. I feel that we all needed it."

After that, I got many more thanks and congratulations. Eventually, everyone went to bed. When Rahne and I went, let's just say we didn't actually sleep until much later.

Three week skip

Today's the day! Oh, today's the day we finally activate the portal! While the portal is identical in most ways to my parents' portal, mine has a better lock and a much better filter. So, no escapee ghosts running around. Padding into the big hole in the wall I did some last-minute diagnostics for the portal. With everything good I pressed the on button on the inside, and walked out. Going over to where everyone was standing, I took the last plug from my mate. Putting on my goggles, I said, "Goggles!"

When everyone had their goggles on I plugged the portal in. we waited with bated breath as the portal whined in its power up. Soon it flashed with a brilliant rush of green energy, it activated. Everyone was cheering and whistling with joy that it worked. Then it hit me full in the face when Rahne kissed me on the lips. It actually worked! I was so excited that I immediately kissed back full force. When we parted, I got many pats on the back and congratulations, Beast and forge got the same.

Turning toward the professor, I asked him what he wanted to announce. He sighed and said, "My studies of your two DNA samples have yielded interesting results. It appears that your mutation has bonded your ghost and human halves. When you mated with Rahne it fully manifested your regenerative capabilities to rival Logan's." At my fearful look he continued, "When you mated, your mutations sent a small capsule of plasma with a specific DNA code into Rahne, this amplified her healing ability to match yours. Therefore, both of you will be totally invulnerable and immortal at your physical prime."

His statement caused tense silence. I broke it by saying, "Let's worry about this later. I need to know where the portal connected to in the zone so i'm gonna poke my head in to see where."

With a nod of their heads, I walked up to the portal and shoved my head in, to only meet a very familiar, werewolf face. Wulf sniffed me and launched himself forward in joy, barreling me down and proceeded to lick my laughing face. "Down Wulf, Down boy!" I laughed.

When he finally settled down, I turned and introduced Wulf to the institute. "Everyone, this is my good friend, Wulf. Wulf, this is my new 'pack'."

Grinning in his wolfish way, Wulf said in his raspy voice, "Saluton, Amikoj de Danny."

Smiling widely, forge walked forward and said in perfect Esperanto, "Saluton Wulf."

After a chorus of hellos, Danny turned towards Wulf and asked, "What are you doing here? Why aren't you hiding from Walker?"

Wulf answered by reaching into his hoodie and pulling out a gear like medallion with an all too familiar CW initials in the middle. "Why did clockwork send you?" I asked Wulf in confusion.

Wulf shrugged and said in broken English, "Friend open portal near tower. Mi amiko come out like time lord say."

"Ok. I think he wants to talk to me." I started to head to the portal when Wulf stopped me.

"Time lord want mi amiko to bring mate." He said.

Shrugging, I motioned Rahne over and led her and Wulf to the portal. Before entering, I turned and said, "We'll be back soon. Don't worry, I trust Clockwork with my life."

That seemed to ease their concerns. Taking Rahne's hand I pulled her into the portal, closely followed by Wulf.

When I looked around I saw Clockwork's tower close by. Smirking at Rahne's awed expression while she looked around. I pulled her through the air of the ghost zone over to the tower. when the door opened by itself as usual, we headed in and went to the observation room. When we got there, I stared in shock at the many viewscreens. I saw one where a winged version of me with ember and Pandora floated into a brilliant white crack in the sky above them, one where Daniele, Sam and a version of me with a cloak and fingerless gloves flew away from a strange T shaped tower. Yet another one showed a version of myself in a torn up jumpsuit ordered a large dragon made of shadows to eat my evil future self. (Those viewscreens show parts of three different fics that I like. In order: The Phantom flu, D Phantom of Jump City and Phantom among titans. I recommend each) turning to clockwork from the many undoubtedly alternate timelines for me, I noticed one of me in the present way I look, if not a bit older, sitting on a log in some woods with an older Rahne next to him holding a child that looks like a male version of Rahne with my black hair on his lap. Behind them is a large blue dragon that has amusement in its eyes. (preview to a possible sequel, shout out in the next chapter to whoever can guess which book series that the viewscreen shows a character. Hint: it's first book is named after the movie.)

All the screens minus the one clockwork is looking at vanished. Walking over to the old age shifting ghost, I opened my mouth to ask what he wanted when he cut me off, "This is your future should you do everything from here on out correctly."

Pausing, I asked him, "What does that mean?"

"It means that if you make the right choices you will go to the place you were meant to be." Clockwork cryptically said.

Looking at the image on the screen I watched as it viewed out to show houses growing right out of the trees with elves scattered around. There was a huge tree in the center of the clearing and another dragon was perched on one of the huge boughs. I had a high sense of familiarity and longing towards the place, I sensed that Rahne had the same feeling. Looking at clockwork I asked the question on both our minds. "Where is that place?"

Clockwork smiled cryptically, "Alagasia."

A/N: Alright then. Here is the next chapter. I want to hear your guesses on where the sequel will take place. The next chapter will come as soon as I get a review with the correct answer or three wrong ones. either way please review. Here are the translations for the Esperanto:

Saluton, Amikoj de Danny – Greetings, Friends of Danny

Saluton Wulf. – hello wulf

Please review.

So long and see you next time.
