I do not own NCIS or Danny Phantom.
The next morning, Danny got up and went downstairs. Once more, Tony had already left for a jog, so Danny packed his lunch, and ate breakfast. Afterward, he gathered his books, and walked out of the house.
"Bye Danny. Have a good day at school." Danny turned to see his neighbor, Maggie Mae, waving at him from the door of her house.
"Thank you Mrs. James. You have a good day too." Danny said, waving back. Danny walked to the school in silence. He kept an eye out for Skulker. He wondered when the hunter would get here. He also kept an eye out for any remaining members of the Guys in White out of habit. He had caused the group to disband about a year ago, but he knew they were still after him. He also knew that they liked to keep an eye on Danny Fenton, even if they weren't sure he was Phantom. He walked up to the front of the school, and saw Josh Miller waiting for him. Danny heaved a sigh, and walked up to the door.
"Hey you." Josh said.
"What?" Danny answered.
"We still have unfinished business to attend to Danny Fenton." Josh sneered Danny's name.
"Do we now? I already told you. I don't want any trouble. I just want to go through this year without any fights." Danny said, knowing full well that that was not going to happen, not with the way Josh was looking at him.
"Well too bad. No one gets away with calling me an idiot." Josh said, pulling his fist back to deliver the first punch.
By now, the crowd of students had started to gather. Each one excited to see the new guy get the crap beat out of him. It may have been the first of the year, but all of these kids had pretty much grown up together. Danny sigh, and dodged the punch with practiced ease. Josh threw another punch, but Danny caught it, and pushed his hand out of the way. Josh seemed unphased by this, and went to punch him again. Danny dodged again, then whipped around as another punch nearly made contact with the back of his head. Danny smirked. He hadn't had a decent fight since he fought Reaper a few months before. He had ment to spar with Ziva, but hadn't gotten around to it.
Danny dodged another punch, and noticed that punches were all Josh was throwing. He hadn't lifted his leg for a kick once. Danny threw up his hand, and punched Josh in the stomache. Since he was holding back a lot of his strength, the punch was only enough to stun the football player for a few seconds. Danny was hoping to prolong the fight until the bell rang.
Josh recovered from the hit to the gut sooner than Danny thought he would, and went to throw another punch. Danny saw Principle Hardy making her way over out the corner of his eye, so he let Josh's next punch catch him in the face. Danny felt his nose break as the large fist made contact. He made no sound, just fell to the ground. He put his hand over his bleeding nose, and heard Principle Hardy yelling.
Principle Hardy came running over, and knelt beside Danny. She put a hand on Danny's shoulder. "What is the meaning of this Mr. Miller? Why are you hitting Mr. Fenton?" She asked the jock.
Josh Miller had nothing to say for what he did. Danny flashed a smirked, and stood up. He looked at Josh, and removed his hand. Everyone gasped when they saw his nose. It was bent at an odd angle, but Danny reached up, grabed hold of his nose, and re-set it in one swift motion, not making a sound. People gasped, gagged, and one girl even threw-up.
"Mr. Fenton!" Prrinciple Hardy exclaimed. "Let's get you to the nurse's office. You come too Mr. Miller." Principle Hardy started toward the school, and Danny slipped Josh a piece of paper as they both followed.
Josh opened the paper, and, wrote in messy hand writing, were the words, 'You want a fair fight? Come to the Navel Base and meet me at the front. I'll teach you a few things about fighting.' Josh growled at the letter, and then glared at Danny.
In the nurse's office, Principle Hardy was telling the nurse what had happened. Danny did his best to brush the them off, but the nurse, and Principle Hardy, were complaining about his broken nose. "My nose is fine, it is not broke. I will not go to the hospital, and you do not need to call my uncle." Danny said, the Principle threw her hands in the air, and left, taking Josh with her.
"I don't care if you don't want your uncle to know you lost a fight, you need to get your nose x-rayed." The nurse, Mrs. Lincon, said.
"I didn't loose the fight. I let Josh punch me. I punched him in the stomache before he hit me. If I really didn't want him to hit me, I would have either blocked, or dodged the punch. I know how to fight, I just didn't want to have to tell my uncle I beat someone up on my second day of school." Danny said. "And as for my nose, it is fine. It is not broke. It moves like that, all I have to do is put it back in place. I broke it when I was a kid, and it heal in a funny way. It didn't even hurt." That was a lie. It hurt like a mother fucker, but Danny wasn't going to tell them that. It wasn't the first time he had broke his nose. "May I go to class now?" Danny asked.
"Alright Mr. Fenton, but if your nose starts really hurting you, don't be afraid, or too proud, to let someone know. We don't want it to get infected." Mrs. Lincon said.
"Of course Mrs. Lincon. I'll be sure to let someone know if it gets worse, but I told you, it does that." Danny got up, and left the office to go to class. He stopped by the front office to get a tardy paper. He heard Principle Hardy fussing at Josh. He got the sticker, and the lady at the front desk told him he still had a little bit of blood on his face. He wiped it off, and went to his frist class. the teacher eyed him, but said nothing. A few of the students looked his way as he went to his seat, but he ignored them. He could feel his nose healing slowly even as he listened to the teacher drone on about what Danny had read in his history book the day before. Danny half blocked the teacher out to try and concentrate more on getting his nose to heal faster.
At lunch, Danny went outside to eat. He sat under a tree, and opened his lunch. Carly ran over, dragging Alex behind her. "Danny, Danny. Did you and Josh really get into a fight this morning?" She asked as she ran.
Danny looked up and smirked. "Yes we did." He said.
"I heard you lost, and he broke your nose." Alex said. "Is it true?"
"Yeah, and did it hurt?" Carly asked. "I've never broke a bone before." Alex mumbled something that sounded like 'lucky you'.
"Sort of. No it didn't hurt. The first time I broke it, it did, and I did get into a fight with Josh, but I didn't really loose the fight. I let Josh punch me in the face just as Principle Hardy was coming to us. The way he punched me, he did hit my nose, and it did appear to have broke, but it didn't. He was bent at an odd angle, and I did re-set it in front of everyone there, which made one girl throw-up, but it didn't brake. I broke it as a kid, and it healed in a way, that if it's hot a certain way it will move, and I have to re-set it." Danny said.
"That's freaky. Why did it heal in a funny way?" Carly asked.
"I don't know. It could be all those years being exposed to the chemicals in my parent's lab." Danny said without thinking.
"Your parents lab? Chemicals? What did you parents do?" Carly asked.
Danny froze for a minute. What could he tell them? "They were ghost hunters. They also built a lot of weapons, which was why the house blew up. One of the weapons had a problem, and it exploded, or at least that's what the fire marshol thought. I'm not so sure." Danny said, telling the truth. He didn't want his new friendship to have too many secrets.
"Ghost hunters? Your parents believed in ghosts?" Alex asked.
"Yeah they did. Believe it or not, so do I. I know ghosts are real. I've ran into a few myself. In Amity Park, ghost attack everyday. And ghosts have even taken over the twon before. I know it sounds strange, but it's true." Danny said.
"Ghosts huh?" Alex said.
"I believe in ghosts." Carly said. "Are all ghost's mean?" She asked Danny.
"No. Most ghosts just want to be left alone. There are the evil ones, but there also good ones, like Danny Phantom. He's a hero in Amity Park. he fights the evil ghosts. We usually just call him Phantom." Danny said.
"Oh yeah. You were telling me about him yesterday at lunch." Carly said. "I looked him up online. People really didn't like him at first. He even stole things, and attacked the mayor."
"He didn't do any of that. He was being controlled when he stole those things, and was framed for attacking the mayor." Danny said. "Phantom is a cool guy, who has saved a lot of people, and never once cared if people thanked him or not. He helped them even when they didn't like him. My parents tried to kill him a few times too."
"Wow. That's one really cool guy. I don't know if I could help people who tried to kill me." Alex said.
"Yeah well, Phantom is just like that. In the begining, only the teen in the highschool liked, and suported him. I remember the time he helped me and the other teens rescue the adults, and my sister who thought she was an adult, from two crazy ghosts dressed as pirates." Danny said. "I started the rescue mission, the went to do something for Phantom, so everyone thinks I just bailed on them because I was scared."
"Phantom had you do something for him?" Carly asked.
"Yeah." Danny said. The bell rang, so they all went to their next classes.
After school, Danny started for the navel base. he expected Carly and Alex to show up, but they didn't. He saw a car drive by, and noticed that Carly was in it, and so was Alex, and another girl Danny remembered as the girl who threw up this morning. Danny smirked, and kept walking. When he got to the front office, Danny went to the guard. "I have someone coming to meet me here, when he gets here, will you call Gibbs' desk and tell him. Here is a picture of the guy." Danny pulled out a picture he had taken on Josh when he had seen him in the hallway. Luckily Josh hadn't seen him.
"Of course Danny." The guard said.
Danny went upstairs to talk to Gibbs. "Hey Gibbs. Can I use one of the fighting areas for something?" He asked the agent, who was once again alone on the bullpen. Corporal Jenkins was there, but Gibbs couldn't see him.
Gibbs looked up from the papers on his desk. "Why?" He asked.
"I want to beat up the bully at my school." Danny smiled in a joking manner. "He seems desperate to fight me, so I want to do it in a place that no one else would get hurt. He attacked me this morning, and if I hadn't cut it short, someone might have gotten hurt." Danny said.
"How did you stop it?" Ziva asked as she came into the room.
"I let him punch me in the face just as the principle was coming toward us. He got into trouble, and I got to freak every student in the area out by re-setting my broken nose right in front of them. I made one girl throw up." Danny said. "I told everyone that I had broke my nose as a kid, and it healed in a way that made it move when hit a certain way. It was a lie, but one I had to tell. I can't very well tell the school nurse, the principle, and my two new friends that I didn't need to go to the hospital because I'm half ghost." Danny smiled. "So can I use it? I want to help him with his anger, and martial arts is a good way to do so." Danny said. "I won't hurt him, and you can watch."
Gibbs thought about it for a minute, then decided that he did want to watch. He wanted to see Danny in a fight, and had since the night they fought Reaper. "Alright. I'd like to watch." Gibbs said.
"Great. Thanks. Why not make it a team affair, and have everyone watch. Maybe they can learn something new." Danny said.
A few minutes later, Tony and McGee came into the bullpen, and Danny explained what was going to happen. Tony thought it was cool, and McGee had wanted the sam thing as Gibbs. A hour later, Gibbs' phone rang, and Gibbs picked it up. He hung up the phone, and looked at Danny, who was doing his homework in the same spot as the day before. "Your friend is here." He said.
Danny put his stuff in his bag, and put his bag behind Tony's desk. Danny went to the front, while everyone else went to the gym. Danny spotted Josh looking around nervously. Danny smirked. "Hey Josh." He said.
Josh turned to look at Danny. "Hey." He said.
"Follow me." Danny said after the guard gave him a visitor's pass. Josh followed Danny to the gym, and saw that there were a few people here. Four stood out the most. They were not dress for a wrokout like the others, and they turned to the two of them when they entered. "Josh, this is my uncle NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo, his co-workers Ziva David, and Timothy McGee, and his boss Leroy Jethro Gibbs. This is Josh Miller, the guy who broke my nose this morning." Danny said.
"Broke your nose? You said it wasn't broke." Josh said.
"I lied." Danny said. "Follow me and you can change your clothes. No use messing up your clothes." Danny said, leading the way to the locker room. Both boys changed clothes, and went back out. "Just as fair warning Josh, I don't plan on going too easy on you. I haven't had a good fight for months, and I'm looking forward to this." Danny said after they got in the ring. He smirked again. Danny had become somewhat of an adrinaline junky, and sadist in the past few years. He found he loved to fight.
"Whatever you say Danny. I'm not going easy on you at all." Josh said.
"I would't want you too." Danny said. "Come at me." He said.
Josh shot toward Danny, his fist ready for a punch. He drew his fist back, and thrust it forward...
