SURVIVING THE TITANS!

Chapter Six: Thermos Please

Saturday Night:

Danny sighed as he walked into Fenton Works totally wiped out. There hadn't been any ghost attacks- he was just worn out from the day's events, and tired from bowling for 2 hours straight at Sam's. Slowly he dragged himself upstairs into his room. "Don't!" Cyborg yelled "I'm trying to see what's in it!"

Danny blinked at the scene, before complete horror over took him. "Don't touch that!" He yelled.

Cyborg and Beast Boy had found his thermos and were messing with it. "Hey Danny!" Beast Boy said.

"This is very high-tech we all got one, but yours is the only one with any singes of ever being used." Cyborg said. "What does it do anyway?"

"Let me see that!" Beast Boy said grabbing the thermos.

"Hey Beast Boy! I was looking at that!"

"What does this button do?" Beast Boy asked pushing the release button.

"NO!" Danny screamed as the lid popped off from the force of the release and all of the ghosts he'd caught since Friday escaped.

The Box Ghost flew around gleefully. "I-ee am free! I told you before! That evil container of DOOM cannot hold ME!" Then he left.

The thermos was still emptying and when it finally stopped one last ghost flew out. The ghost from the park, he smiled at Danny his red eyes glowing gleefully before he vanished. Danny was pulling at his hair by now. "NO IT TOOK FOREVER TO CATCH ALL THOSE GHOST!"

"Whoa." Beast Boy said completely blown back with shock. "That was a lot of ghost."

"I've NEVER seen anything like that before!" Cyborg yelled. "Ever!"

Danny swallowed looking at the two Titans. "Um..." He loosed his hair, but it staid how he'd pulled it.

"Danny?" Robin asked standing wide eyed behind him with Starfire and Raven at his opened bedroom door.

"It wasn't!" Danny stopped. "I didn't! I-!"

"Why did you tell us you'd never seen a ghost before? There had to be over a hundred in that thing, it must have taken months to catch them." Danny laughed nervously, 'or just 2 days…'

"I- I- I didn't want anyone to know." He said. "Ghost hunting isn't exactly praised and my parents don't even know- please! Don't tell anyone! My high school life would sink even lower! My parents can't know! They'll tell, everyone 'look at my great ghost hunting son'" Danny mocked Jacks voice, then his mother's: "'Yes he takes after his father' I'd die of embarrassment!"

"But that last ghost." Cyborg said. "We saw Phantom catch that ghost on Friday." Danny felt his body tremble with every heart beat. Then Cyborg gasped. "He stole your thermos!"

"Yeah, and returned it?" Raven asked eyeing Danny suspiciously.

"He could have!" Danny said panicked. "He is a ghost!"

"Why would-

"Can we just drop it?" Danny asked, trembling still, "They're ghost, ghost get places, no one knows how." The Titans were silent, and Danny headed out of the room thermos in hand. "I'm going to go put this up- later." He disappeared down the hall.

Robin watched him go, Danny was hiding something.

He knew he was.

Sunday Morning- Fenton Works:

Danny yawned as he feeled a bowl with cereal. Everyone else was eating their own breakfast, Robin and Cyborg where actually arguing over the last piece of bacon while Beast Boy inhaled a pile of tofu waffles. His parents we're watching the television on the counter already wide awake and ready to go. Starfire on the other hand was eating mustard and Oreos, while Raven sipped some orange juice.

Jazz was leaning against the kitchen wall watching them all as she drank some coffee.

Danny stopped in mid bight when the volume of the TV suddenly jumped up 10 notches with a commercial. "Hello Amity Park!" A woman said. "Does the constant fear of ghost real or fake bug you? Are you in need of some real help?"

"Hey!" Jack said, and then added miserably. "I help."

"Yes you do sweaty!" Maddie kissed him.

The woman continued. "And I don't necessarily mean mental!" She laughed at her lame joke. "Well we here at Axion Labs have just the thing!" Danny blinked at the screen.

"What is Vlad up to?" He wondered silently. Knowing too well who was in charge of those labs.

Next thing Danny knew he was standing in the back of the basement, as the Titans rapped up there weapons training with Jack and Maddie. "What just happened?"

He shook his head and joined Jazz. "Oh, you're alive." She said. "Was it a ghost?"

"What?"

"Well you slipped out there for awhile, nearly the whole class." She said looking at him concerned.

"No. I don't know. Jazz weren't we just-

"That's enough for today." Maddie said. "You kid's go ahead and have fun now."

"Come on Danny!" Cyborg called. "We're going to play some volleyball!"

"I'm not going to be the ball this time!" Beast Boy yelled as he ran up the stairs.

"Jazz I-

"Go on Danny have some fun while they're not trying to kill you." She said obviously not sensing the urgency in Danny's voice.

Danny sighed. "Okay."
