Chapter 2 Introductions and Opinions.
No one's POV. 3 days before.
General W.R. Monger sat at a large white business table with a group of unknown people, except two. Agent K and Agent L sat opposite Monger with a large frown. The meeting began as soon as the man in charge stood up.
"Meeting start." The man stated. He sat down at the end of the table and people started talking.
Time Skip...
"So does anyone have any problems they would like to discuss?" The Main man asked, suddenly the two guys in white spoke up.
"Actually-" Agent K responded, speaking clear and bold, "we would like more money for our ghost hunting equipment."
"To catch the ghost boy Danny Phantom." Agent L finished. The room erupted in sighs.
"Agents-" The boss stated after the room went quiet once more,"Must I inform you that you have been after the ghost boy for a whole year now?" The Agents didn't back down and instead explained but with their heads slightly lowered and voice, less confident. It was clear these guys were scared of the people higher than them.
"Yes, I -We do sir but-" Agent K got interrupted by the boss.
"But?!" he shouted at them. Agent K and L lowered their heads in shame. "Listen, you two. I understand you say this 'ghost' boy is a menace, but cant you just let him go?" He asked obviously frustrated at their antics.
"No sir, Phantom has committed serious crimes as well as damage. He is dangerous to have in Amity Park and should be disposed of the proper way." Monger held back his anger. He saw what this boy does on a day-to-day basis in Amity Park, He began to think out his anger instead of speaking it, 'he is a true hero and (ghost or not) he is a child. No older than 15 years of age, before he died. Still, he has had enough of these men jumping around with him like he is a monster-' That was it...
"Sir if I may..." Monger spoke up. "If these two think he is so dangerous why don't I capture him and put him in my monster program? He will be protected and stop causing trouble." That seemed to be the right thing to say as the boss agreed.
"Excellent idea General, that should fix your problem." The agent tried to disagree but got ignored by the boss saying a quick, "Meeting adjourned." The Agents sent a glare at Monger before heading out.
"Well, that worked. Now, its time to catch a ghost." With that, he walked out of the office to begin working again adding 'catch ghost boy' to his to-do list.
Back to Danny POV.
Waking up is one thing everyone does. Waking up to an alarm is another thing people do. However, waking up to a strange alligator man and a cockroach man is another thing.
"Hey! are you dead or somethin'?" The alligator thing asked.
"Back off!. What are you?" I yelled, standing up, I edged away.
"Rude." is all he said. Then the cockroach man ran up to me.
"Why would you be dissected you just look like a normal teen. How old are you, 14 - 15?" he asked. I was about to answer but then a blue blur flung onto the wall and fell off.
"I'm Bob," it said. Oh. my. God. it talks!
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot introductions."Clears throat," I'm Doctor Cockroach, this is Link and you know Bob." Doctor Cockroach said but was interrupted by a large door that opened. A giant girl with white shoulder-length hair walked into the room. I stood there in awe... giants are real?!
"And this is Susan." he gestured to her. She bent down closer to me but I fell on my butt again and scooted back in fear.
"Don't worry I don't bite," she said smiling and waving. 'Ok, ok, ok, this is not strange! it's normal to see cockroaches and alligators blobs of blue and giant ladies! right?'
"I DON'T UNDERSTAND... oh I get it I'm having another mental break down! I'm going to snap out of it with Jazz shaking me and screaming DANNY SNAP OUT OF IT! Haha, Yep… THIS IS NOT OK!" I twitched. Getting back up.
"Ok… We have a few questions for you," Doctor Cockroach said grabbing a notebook and pen out of his lab coat. I stood there in silence and started to calm down. '1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Don't become Dan and calm down.' I thought slowly. 'Now I get why Clockwork told me to practice that- Clockwork!'
"Clockwork! I know your busy and all, but can you help me get out of this?!" I shouted to the heavens... "Come on, I know you can see me!" The others stood and stared at me as I screamed out until...
"Uhh... Who are you talking to?" Link asked me. It was clear that CW wasn't coming.
"Fine, let me guess... Everything is as it should be hu?" I asked the heavens. I could almost see Clockwork nodding his head.
"Why are you here, you just look like a normal teen?" Susan said lying down on her belly Ignoring the random scream out. 'She must be thinking im having a breakdown.' I thought.
"And why were you worried about being dissected" Dr C added.
I grabbed a strand of hair and pulled it into sight. 'I guess there is no point now. Might as well.' I let my hair go and started to answer their questions.
"Umm I-I am actually an umm... ghost" I stuttered. 'Why was that so hard to say?'
"A ghost dissection, that would be fascinating." Dr C whispered loud enough for me to hear. I tensed up. 'Didn't he say he was a Doctor?! Geez well done Fenton!' I face-palmed.
"Oh, I just thought you threw up on yourself," Link said gesturing to my chest. I rose my head. 'Chest?'
"What do you mean…" I looked down at my chest. "Oh no no it's not healing! This is bad" I said lightly touching my chest and cringing. 'This collar...'
"Oh, I have a question. What is your name" Bob interrupted, raising his hand like in school.
"D-Daniel but call me Danny," I said looking at my injury.
"No not that, what do people scream when they see you like, LOOK OUT IT'S…" Bob asked.
"Danny Phantom, which is my superhero name but most of the time I get Invso-Bill, ghost boy or more common by my enemies the Haf-" I put my hand over my mouth, widening my eyes and raising my head. 'If I say halfa they might ask why and that would be bad.'
"Superhero? For where?" Susan asked.
"Amity Park," I said.
"I don't know about you guys but I'm hungry so I'm going to go eat" Link pointed over to the food sitting on the table.
"They all stopped paying attention to me, 'thank god', and ran over to the food. I slowly moved forward avoiding any contact to my chest and walked over to the table.
"Yours is right there" doctor cockroach pointed to the glowing green slop on the table. I walked over to it and stared at it.
"specifically made for ghosts" he added. I poked at it with the fork and sat down. 'Is this even food?'
"What would happen if a human consumed this?" I asked. Dr C looked at it.
"They'd probably have an agonizingly long and painful death," he said in a matter of faculty. I got pale and stood up. 'Nope!'
"You know what I'm not that hungry..." I walked over to a corner, sat down on the ground facing away from everyone and examined my chest. 'How did this happen?'
Susan's POV
"I have a strange feeling about this guy." cockroach said while eating a can.
"Oh come on give him a break, he's new," I said scooping up my food.
"I like him. He even has a cool name unlike Susan did when she first got here." Bob said.
"He's hiding something. I know it and if it's possible to dissect ghosts, we could learn so much from him." Cockroach said putting his hand down on the table.
"You're not going to be dissecting anyone, he's just a kid" I gestured to the boy sat in the corner face looking down at his chest.
"Susan, he's a ghost do you realize ghosts can be hundreds of years old" Cockroach argued. ' I guess he has a point but-'
"But what if he's not" I set my fork down.
"Here let's find out," Link turned around to the boy "HEY HOW OLD ARE YOU!" Link yelled over to Danny. Danny didn't look over to us. 'Because thats going to work, isn't it?. Just scream out how old are you and let him know we are talking about him.
"14!" he yelled back, eyes still on his chest.
"No we mean your age you have been around in the universe and how long you have been dead!" cockroach said.
"Umm I'm 14, I have been in this world for 14 years in all! Dead one year but I added it on to my age! By the way, it's rude to ask a ghost their age and death date. Ghosts don't like talking about when they die." he said back not paying any attention to us, looking straight down and wincing. "Ouch!" he pulled his hand away from his chest.
"Hey it looks like he's hurt, you should help him" I whispered to Cockroach.
"Susan I am a mad scientist, not a medical doctor." he protested. 'Boys... Or at least Doctors.'
"Fine, i'll go. I've had plenty of experience when my parents taught me anyway." I lest, heading over to a sloughed ghost teen sitting in a corner. What have I gotten myself into?'
Danny's POV
"Daniel, we can help you" I heard from behind me. 'Susan. I think'
"Please, call me Danny and I don't need help. I'm fine," I said coldly trying to stop the bleeding. Not working.
"Danny, you're going to bleed out sooner or later if you don't get some help..." 'I hate to admit it but she's right if my healing is down I'm left with the regular human healing speed.' I groaned a "fine" and turned around facing her.
"Ok let's see it." she kneeled down. I slowly unzipped my suit to show a LONG gash from my shoulder all the way to my hip 'I have no idea how that happened' She gasped, look scared and concerned at the same time, The others heard her gasp and hurried over. Link covered Bob's eye, and Dr C looked worried and confused. The ectoplasm had red swirls in it but there was more ectoplasm than anything at least.
"My god how are you even staying sane right now. This is just… indescribable" Dr C said approaching me. He lightly touched it, I winced. 'Hey!'
"What do you have Dr?" Susan asked him still staring at me.
"Ok I'm going to grab some wrap, it's all we can do for today but tomorrow I should have the right equipment because I left it in my room," he said digging into his pocket and pulling out some wrap. He untwined it and stopped before he started to wrap me.
"This might hurt," he said and continued as soon as it touched my injury. I felt pain. My fists clenched and I pressed my head against the wall.
"AHHHhhh" I screamed.
Susan's POV
We sat and watched as Cockroach finally started to wrap the kid up, it looked so painful. 'I hope he will be okay. He's young. What could have done this to him?'
"AHHHhhh" he screamed. We all winced, that's got to hurt! Once he was done Danny looked exhausted so he rested his head on the wall shut his eyes and took a deep breath… 'wait, breath?' Cockroach walked to the other side of the large room and we followed him in silence.
"Did you see all those scars?" he asked us once we got out of hearing range.
"I know Danny did say he was a hero so it could have been from that," I suggested. 'But maybe not.'
"Wel, yea but what happened. What could cause that much scaring and he breathes… ghosts aren't supposed to breath!" he yelled inside of a whisper.
"MONSTERS BACK TO YOUR CELLS!" we heard the speaker shout and we all walked into the rooms that opened up. I looked back at Danny and smiled. 'Tomorrow is another day.'
"Goodluck." I waved goodbye before disappearing from Danny's wide eyes. 'Hopefully, he will be okay.'
I hope your enjoying it so far and I will post the next chapter soon. :)
