I do not own NCIS or Danny Phantom.
Danny dodged the punch with ease, and threw his hand out at the same time, hitting Josh in the stomach. Josh doubled over for a second, then shot forward to tackle Danny. Danny jumped over Josh, causing the large teen to hit the ring. Danny was no longer smirking, and was serious. He may be feeling like a sadist, but he still didn't want to get hurt, or hurt the human. Besides, the only reason he was acting like a sadist now is because he had taken more than just Reaper's energy. He had taken some of his personality too, and Danny hated it. He hadn't told Sam or Tucker about it, but he had told Tony, and Tony was doing his best to help.
Josh bounced off the ring, and spun to meet Danny. He then ran toward him again, and went to punch Danny in the face, probably hoping to break his nose for real. Danny sidestepped, but Josh saw it, and slung his arm to the side, hitting Danny in the face. Danny could feel his still healing nose start breaking again. Danny threw his hand back, and knocked Josh on his ass. Danny reached up and touched the bridge of his nose. He hissed at the contact. "He re-broke my nose." Danny whispered.
Danny glared at Josh, he hadn't been hit by a human like that in a long time, at least not without him letting it happen. This kid was better than Danny thought, but he was still only fighting with his anger, and that would be his downfall. Danny waited for Josh to make his next move. Josh ran toward Danny, and Danny leaped out of the way before Josh's fist made contact with his face again. Danny landed on Josh's neck, and, wrapping his legs around his neck, flipped the large teen onto his back. Josh landed with a thud, and Danny did a backward cartwheel, and jumped to his feet. The fall had knocked the air out of Josh, but he recovered quickly, and got to his feet. Danny could see the anger in his eyes, and knew Josh was about to do something rash.
Josh ran blindly toward Danny with his fist balled up. Danny jumped out of the way, and kicked his leg out to catch Josh across the back. Josh landed on his face, and this he didn't get up.
Tony climbed into the ring, and patted Danny on the back. "That's was a good fight." He said.
"Thanks. I ended it quickly because I didn't want him to re-break my nose. It was already starting to break again." Danny said. He then went to kneel down beside Josh, who had rolled over onto his back.
"How did you do that?" Josh asked.
"I'm a black belt. My mom taught me how to fight. I let you punch me at the school because I didn't want any of the other students to get hurt. You have got to learn to control your anger. That was your downfall. If you had been focusing on the fight, and not on just hitting me, then you would have had a better chance of winning, you are a very skilled fighter." Danny said.
"How do you keep your anger in check?" Josh asked.
"Just think of what your anger could do. Anger could get you killed, and it could hurt someone else. Anger could do a lot of bad things, and not so many good ones. I should know. I know someone who's anger problem is worse than yours, and I had a problem conrtoling mine when around him too. I thought of what my anger could do to the people around me, and no matter how mad he made me, I knew I couldn't lash out at him as I pleased. He wanted my dad dead, and he wanted to marry my mom, but I still couldn't do anything to hurt him, especially if it was just because I got angery with him." Danny said.
Gibbs was watching Danny talk to the gigantic teen laying on the mat. He could clearly hear what Danny was saying. How did a teenager got so wise? He asked himself.
"You have to think of others. You can't just think of yourself, that is a good way to get someone hurt, or even hurt yourself. What happens if you meet someone bigger than you, and you get mad at that person, then that person gets mad at you? You'll get your ass kicked for sure. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about." Danny said. "Think about it." Danny stood up, and left the ring. He looked at Gibbs, and knew he had heard. "What? Even a teen knows what he's talking about sometimes." He said, then went to the locker room.
Josh followed not long after that. "Hey Danny." He said.
Danny turned to look at him. "Yeah?" He said.
"Thanks." Josh said. "You're right. It's weird though, my mom and dad have been trying to tell me this forever, but the new kid at school, who's smaller than me, gets me to listen, and beats me up." He said.
"You're welcome. You're not the first person I've gone up against who's bigger than me." Danny said, thinking of almost every ghost he's been up against, including himself, and Dash. "I used to be really small."
Together they went upstairs. Danny went to his bag, and pulled something out. "Here, look it over." He said, giving the papers to Josh.
Josh looked at it. It was a pamplet for the Marines. "Thanks." He said. He left after that.
Danny knew he would be spending a lot of time thinking things over, and that he would only think about the Marines if football falls threw. Tony came into the bullpen. "I'm going to see Sam and Tucker when I get done with my homework, okay." Danny told his uncle.
"Alright Danny." Tony said.
Danny saw Corporal Jenkins watching him. "I did what I could, it's all up to Gibbs and his team now. I'm not an agent, and can only help with a few things." Danny said just loud enough for the ghost to hear. He finished his homework, and packed his books up. He wrote a note for Tony, and put it on his desk. He let his uncle know he was going to bee there until really late, and when he got home, he was going straight to his room from the attic.
Danny went home, flying most of the way, and changed forms a block or so from the house. He walked up to the door, and was preparing to unlock it when he heard someone coming up behind him. "Hello Mrs. James." He said.
"Hello Danny." Maggie Mae said. "And you can call me Maggie Mae." She said.
"Alright." Danny said. "I'd love to talk, but I have a date with my girlfriend. Is there anything I can help you with?" He asked the elderly woman.
"Oh, no. I was just walking by to go see my sister, and thought I would stop by and see you since you were out here." Maggie Mae said.
"Oh, well. It was nice to see you." Danny went into the house, and put his bag in his room. He went to the attic, and climbed onto the loft. He changed forms, and telaported to Amity Park. He ended up in the park, and flew to Sam's house. He went in threw the open window and saw Sam doing something at her desk. He silently changed forms. Since the real lights were on, Sam didn't even notice the quick flash of light.
He snuck up on Sam, and put his hand ove her mouth. Sam sqealed into Danny's hand, and screwed her eyes shut, preparing to attack. She then realized something about the hand. It was cold. Too cold to be a human, even one with cold hands, but not clammy enough to be a ghost. Only one person that she knew of hand hads like that. Before she could even open her eyes though, Danny spun her round, uncovered her mouth, and kissed her. "Hey Sam." He said when he released her.
Sam punched him in the shoulder. "Don't scare me like that Danny. I almost attacked you." She almost screamed, giving a slide glance to the green lipstick tube beside her on her desk. Neither she, nor Tucker, went anywhere without a tube of ecto lipstick. Sam usually carried a ecto gun in her bag too.
"Sorry Sam. I couldn't stop myself. You're not mad at me, are you?" Danny asked, pouting like a little kid.
Sam sighed. "No Danny. I'm not mad at you. How could I be mad at you?" Sam stood up on her tip toes, and planted a kis on Danny's lips. "I love you." She whispered.
"I love you too." Danny said.
Sam looked up at Danny's face. She then saw the bruise forming on his face. A large purple mark over him nose, and under his eyes. "What happened?" She asked, brushing her hand over the purplish skin.
"I got into a fight with someone at school. I let him hit me at school, then I got hit again when I was fighting him at NCIS." Danny said.
Sam touched the bridge of Danny's nose, which caused the halfa to hiss under his breath. "Is it broke?" Sam asked.
"Yeah. The guy at school broke it when he punched me the first time, but it had started to heal, then when he hit me again, it started to break once more. It hurt like hell. I did something stupid too. I re-set me nose in front of everyone, making one girl throw-up. I had to make up some lame excuse, saying I had broke my nose when I was young, and it had healed in a way that it could move." Danny said.
"Does it still hurt?" Sam asked
"A little." Danny said, leaning into Sam's hand when she out it on his cheek.
"Should I call Tucker?" Sam asked.
"If you want to." Danny put his hand on Sam's face. "I missed you Sam."
"I missed you too Danny." Sam pulled out her phone, and sent a text to Tucker, telling him that Danny was there, and he could come over.
A little while later, Tucker sent a message back, saying he was on the way. It wasn't long before the maid knocked on the door, saying that Tucker was there. Danny went invisible so the maid wouldn't see him when Sam opened the door. "Hey guys." Tucker said, causeing the maid to roll her eyes.
"Hey Tuck." Sam said, thanking the maid.
"Hey Tucker. Long time no see." Danny whispered into the African American teen's ear.
Tucker squeaked at the cold wind in his ear. "Don't do that dude." He said, rubbing his ear.
Danny reappeared, laughing. "Sorry, I just had to." He said.
"He snuck up on me too." Sam said, punching Danny in the arm.
Danny laughed again. "Come on guys. I'm sorry. You know it's not really my fault." He said.
"I know." Tucker said.
"I missed you Tucker." Danny said.
"I missed you too Danny." Tucker said.
They spent most of the night talking about things they had missed. Apparently Dash had been talking about the military, though which part was unknown. Danny told Tucker about his fights with Josh, and Tucker laughed his head off. Sam and Tucker told him about the ghosts that either chose to stay, or just appeared in town. The new ones must not have heard of them, because they had acted surprised to see two people fighting them. The box ghost was still running around, and so was Skulker. Sam and Tucker thought it strange that he had yet to show up, and they all joked that maybe he was lost, and not as good a hunter as he claimed he was.
It was early morning when Danny finally teleported back to the attic. He quietly went to his room. He passed Tony's door, and heard two sets of snores, one male, and one female. Danny changed clothes, and went to bed.
