Chapter 4 That Damn Fruitloop!

"Ha…Ow…" I sat up, the light of the setting sun reflecting off the waves. 'Wait…setting? Waves? It's supposed to be 10 o'clock!' I looked around to see that Sammy and I were on the rocky shore of a bay, a giant 'T' shining in the distance. "Titan's Tower…? We're in Jump City!" I brushed some white hair out of my face, and then stared in shock at my jump suited body. "How'd I get to ghost form? Hell, how did I get here? Did I…teleport?"

"Who you?" I turned to see that Sammy had woken up and was looking at me with fear again in her eyes. "Where Danny!?" Realizing that she didn't recognize me in this form, I transformed back into a human and knelt down beside her.

"Hey, Sammy. It's alright." I wiped away the tears forming in her eyes. "I can transform, just like you! Isn't it cool that we're the same?"

She sniffed and gave me a small smile. "Is cowl." She lightly nuzzled my neck in a very catlike manner. "Big Bwother, where is we?" It took me a second to figure out what she was saying.

"We're in a city called Jump. And it's pronounced 'Big Brother.' Can you say Big Brother?" I figured it was best to teach her the correct way to say words first. I'll teach her grammar later.

"Big Bro-ther." She sounded it out, to get the feel for the word. "Big Brother! Big Brother!" She laughed, the thrill of being free and being loved for the first time getting to her. "Me and Big Brother is in city Jump!" She knocked me back in a hug. "Thank yous!"

I brought my hand up to her head, but pulled it away when I felt something sticky. Blood. "Sammy, does your head hurt at all?" I asked, trying not to panic, while looking at the back of her head.

"Nope." She put her hands up to where I was checking and looked at the red that covered them. "Wuz dis?" She causiously sniffed the blood and frowned. "Smells weid."

"That's called blood." I sighed in relief; the wound was only a small cut and was already closed. I pulled Sammy to her feet and stood beside her, hand in hand. "Hold on tight, Sammy. I'm gonna try and find somewhere safe for us to sleep." With that, I turned into Phantom and started flying in the city.

"WAH!" Sammy panicked and clung to my arm, claws coming out to tear up my wrist. "High! No like bein' high!" I carefully lifted her up into bridal style and turned us invisible. Soon, we came across a rundown motel with roof shingles missing and peeling, tan paint. I phased us into a room that was surprisingly clean, with clean sheets and a relatively descent bathroom. There was only one problem with it, though; there was only one bed. Sammy jumped out of my arms and onto the bed. "Feew nice." She purred as she squirmed on it. "What it call?"

My heart broke slightly at her words. She didn't even know what a bed was called. "That's a bed." I told her as I sat on the end of it. "You sleep on it. Sammy, I've got to go out for a while and get some supplies. You're gonna have to stay here for a bit, okay?"

Sammy whimpered slightly and buried her face into my chest. "Don't wanna you go." She murmured.

"I know you don't want me to go. But I have too." I lifted her head so she could look me in the eyes. "We need food, and clothes, and other things needed for normal life. So stay in this room til I come back." She sniffed softly, but nodded and let me go. I gave her one last smile before phasing through the wall. 'Now, to find a superstore.'

I soon found myself in a large superstore that had everything we could possibly need. I scoffed at the fact that the manager took the time to lock the doors and set the door alarms, but didn't even bother to install cameras. At ease, I transformed back into a human and started for the clothing section. I grabbed several pairs of dark t-shirts, jeans, and boxers, and stuffed them in the endless pockets of my pants. Taking a black hoodie, I put it on over my shirt so I looked more like a normal teenager. For Sammy, I grabbed some t-shirts and tank tops that looked her size. For pants, I only got her long skirts and shorts (to wear underneath), thinking it would be best to hide her tail. I blushed immensely as I got her a pack of underwear, and, to hide her ears, I got her a red beret that reminded me of Tucker.

In the food section, boxes of dried food and bottled water disappeared into my pockets. I grabbed two backpacks for later, and, pretty sure I could get/steal some cash at a bank later, started towards an exit.

"Yo! Kid! Stop right there!"

Before me stood 4 of the 5 Teen Titans.

Robin's PoV*********************************************** *********

"How can I help you, Mr. Masters?" I was slightly shocked; Vlad Masters was nearly as rich as Lex Luthor and Bruce. What would he want?

"Yo, Rob!" I looked towards Cyborg. "There's a break in at Smarty Mart Superstore. It's probably just another kid looking for some fun, so we'll deal with it while you finish up your call." I nodded.

"Robin. I'm calling you on the behalf of the son of my deceased friends."

"Why can't he call me himself?

"Because his name is Daniel Fenton and I believe that he has been kidnapped."

Danny's PoV*********************************************** *****

My teeth clenched in annoyance. Of course, the one night I decide to do a petty robbery is the night the Titans are bored enough to stop one. "Look, I don't want trouble." I began to slowly back away with my hands held out.

"Sure you don't." The green dude—Beast Boy—snorted. "That's why you've probably got all kinds of electronics for your evil plans of world domination in your pockets!"

"No, no, you have it all wrong!" I realized trying to talk to them was far better than fighting. Hell, after fighting the Bat family and teleporting for the first time, it was a miracle that I could stand, let alone go ghost! "I'm just trying to get some food and clothes for my baby sister and I-"

"Stop it with your lies, villain!" The floating, orange girl—Starfire—yelled in righteous fury. "You are doing the breaking and the entering, and also the stealing. That makes you a bad person!"

Internally, I winced. Was I ever that naïve while crime fighting? Probably. "Well, I hate that you are so narrow minded on the subject, but that is neither here nor now. So, goodbye!" And then I turned invisible.

With the soundless footsteps it had taken me days to prefect with Selena, I raced past the Titans, to the doors. "He's heading to the exit!" The robot yelled.

'Shit! He must have heat vision!' I realized as I phased through the doors. Now out of their sight, I did the first thing that came to mind.

"I'M GOING GHOST!"

Robin's PoV*********************************************** ****

'Kidnapped!?' My mind instantly went through reasons why someone could kidnap my brother. 'The adoption is public record…If it's ransom, then someone will try to contact Bruce, or me as Grayson…but, if someone connected Grayson to Robin…could Slade…' "Why would someone wish to kidnap Daniel?" I forced my voice to stay steady.

"A few months ago, Daniel was in an…accident… that made him into a metahuman. I don't know the full details, just what I've observed, but his abilities seem to include heightened speed and strength, sharper senses, and occasional invisibility and intangibility."

"Who do you think kidnapped him and why do you believe he's in my city?" I smelled something fishy about this…

"In the town of Amity Park, there was another metahuman known only as Phantom. I believe I am one of the few who know of his obsession with Daniel, appearing and saving lives only if the boy was present. The rest of the time, Phantom was a loose wire, doing only what he wanted. Phantom is also missing, having disappeared around the same time as Daniel. As to why I think they are in your city, it is because if one uses their abilities too long or too much, some sensors on my machines in certain cities will spike. And they spiked quite heavily in Jump City earlier tonight."

"Thank you for this information, Mr. Masters. I'll be sure to look out for Daniel." I hung up on the billionaire and looked out to the bay. "Danny…what have you gotten into?"

Damn Fruitloop… poor Danny. He has no luck with those hidden alarms.

I made two references in this chapter to other TV shows. If you find both of them, I'll give the regular name and the super name of my next oc. BYE! *waves*
