~ I Do Not Own Danny Phantom or the Teen Titans ~

Chapter 15 ~ Revealing

Danny's POV

I froze when there was a knock on Raven's bedroom door. I glanced at the door, then at her unsure of what to do.

Raven looked at me with narrowed eyes. "Go to you room. I'll talk to the Titans." She said softly walking to the door.

I nodded and, without transforming, I flew up and phased through the ceiling, heading to my room. When I arrived in my room I just stood there looking at the ground. I felt the dried tears on my face and on my eyes. I sighed softly and sat down on the bed. I just sat in quite as I went through my thoughts. Why did I tell her that stuff? I'v never told anyone that before. Maybe it's because she can help me out of this mess. Maybe I told her because she has a sense of cally and understanding around her. I thought.

I ran a hand through my black locks of hair and closed my eyes. I just don't understand life anymore...maybe I should just go with the flow. I ran a hand under my bangs gently tracing the scar across my eyes. I noticed I had the tendency to do this whenever I was lost in thought.

I paused when there was a knock at my door a few moments later. I glanced up at it, wondering if I should answer it or not. I had no desire to talk to the other Titans right at the moment. I paused for a second before getting up and walking over to the door. I opened it about 3 inches and looked out. I saw Cyborg standing at my door by himself.

"Hey Danny, umm, We were wondering if you would like to come to the livingroom for a meeting." Cyborg said staring down at me with one red eye and one human with seriousness.

I raised an eyebrow. "We?" I asked calmly.

Cyborg nodded. "Yeah. Raven says she has some news for us. And that it will involve you."

I narrowed my eyes for a second. Must be about my ghost half. I thought. Didn't expect her to work this quickly "Alright." I opened up the door and stepped out into the hall, closing the door behind me.

Cyborg nodded then turned and we walked down the hall. We walk in silence for a few moments before Cyborg broke it.

"Hey Danny. I am...uhh...sorry about earlier. We didn't mean to upset you or anything." He said honestly. I glanced up at him then looked forward again wit a shrug.

"Forgiven and forgotten." I said simply, wanting to drop the subject.

Cyborg nodded and we came up to the doors to the living room. When the door slide open I glanced around the room till my eyes landed on Raven. I raised and eyebrow slightly at her. She shifted her hand and I glanced down to see the recording device in it. I narrowed my eyes then glanced back up at her as I walked deeper into the room. So she hasn't let them hear it yet. Great. I mentally growled. Now I'm going to have to hear it again. I nodded to her slowly without alerting the other Titans.

"So what was it wanted to show us Raven?" Robin asked confused.

Raven paused before holding up the recording device for everyone to see. "I managed to get an interview with Phantom." She said calmly holding up the device in her palm.

"WHAT!" Everyone yelled. I flinched at the loudness of it. Raven didn't.

"I got an interview with Phantom. You might want to listen to it. He told me what really happened that day."

"We already know what happened that day! Danny told us!" Robin yelled with a scowl. He then turned to face me. I tensed but kept a blank face on. "Right? You told us Phantom was hunting you." Robin said with determination.

I hesitated before looking away. "Lets just listen to the recording please. I what to know Phantom point of view on...that day." I said faking sadness.

Robin paused before sighing in defeat. He turned back to Raven and nodded. "Alright. Lets hear it."

Raven nodded then hit play. The recording started. She started with the second recording instead of the first.

I toned out the recording and focused my mind on something else. Not wanting to hear the story of my family and friends death again. When it was over I looked over at everyone in the room. Robin's face held shock. Starfire had tears in her eyes as well as Beast Boy. Cyborg blinked at lose for words.

Silence followed for a moment before Robin spoke up.

"Wait...Phantom called Jack and Maddie Fenton...Mom and Dad..." He trailed off turning to look at me.

I glanced at Raven to see her nod. I looked back at Robin and nodded slowly. "Yes. I am Danny Phantom." I said and let the transformation rings appear around my waist. I felt them spit and travel across my body. One going up to my head, the other to my feet. When they vanished, I was now im my ghost form. My black hair was now pure white, my ice blue eyes turned glowing neon green and my normal street clothes turned into black jeans, black hoodie jacket with white streaks down the sides with my white insignia on my chest. I had on white combat boots and white gloves.

I pulled down my hood as I looked at everyone for their reaction.

"Wow." Was Cyborg's response as he stared at me with wide eyes. "Wasn't expecting that."

Robin's masked eyes were wide.

Both Starfire and Beast Boy were too shocked to speak.

I sighed. "I'm sorry I never told you before...wait...no I'm not. If I told you, you would have captured me and turned me in before I had a chance to explain what truly happened." I said calmly. Then I narrowed my eyes at them. "But if you still intend to turn me in, I WILL fight and I WONT hold back." I snarled at them.

Robin put his hands up. "It's alright. Even I could tell from that recording...That you didn't kill anyone." He said softly. Pausing. "But why did you run?"

I glared at him then turned away and walked to the window to look out into the horizon. "Because if I had stayed, they would have giving me over to Vlad, my arch-enemy, and the whole world would have been in great danger." I said softly.

"What do you mean by that?" he asked.

I shook my head and turned to look at him. "I will not talk about this any farther." I said, not wanting to tell them about Dan. It wouldn't help my cause if I tell them that I was suppose to turn into the most evil ghost on the planet.

Robin nodded, thankfully dropping the subject. "So, you never did kill those people?" he asked softly. "It was all a misunderstanding."

I nodded and looked at the ground sadly. "I was the protector of Amity Park. The most haunted place in America. When I first started out, No one saw me as a Hero. They only saw me as evil. As the year went on, and I saved the world a few times. I started to get more people to see me as more then just a ghost terrorizing a town. But there was still the percentage that didn't. Sadly, my parents were apart of that margin." I paused and looked up at everyone who was watching and listening. I glanced back down. "My parents who the towns local Ghost Hunting experts. I never told them about me becoming half ghost, so they always hunting me-"

"Why didn't you tell them?" Cyborg interrupted.

"-please leave all questions for the end." I said softly. "This is very painful so I don't want to go through with this longer than I need to." I waited till they all nodded before I continued. "They believe all ghost to be 'evil ectoplasmic manifestation of post human consciousness.' They thought that ghost were only driving by their 'obsession', every ghost has one, and can only cause trouble. Little did they know that Danny Phantom's obsession, MY obsession, was protecting those I love and care about." I closed my eyes and held back tears. "But I failed. They died because of me and I couldn't stop it." I whispered my voice cracking. I felt a warm hand on my shoulder and I opened my eyes to see Robin smiling sadly at me.

"It wasn't your fault Danny. You didn't know that was going to happen." He explained softly.

I looked away and sighed, trying to dry up my tears. "But it was my responsibility as a Hero to protect people...and I couldn't even do that."

"But you DID protect people. All the way up to that day, you were saving peoples lives, risking you life or umm afterlife?" I nodded. "To save innocent people. Even the other day you saved us from a major butt kicking with Cinderblock. You are a Hero through and through." Robin said giving my shoulder an gentle squeeze before dropping it to his side.

I stared at him confused for a moment. I couldn't answer him right now, so I just nodded slowly.

Robin's eyes narrowed again as if in thought. "This...does explain a lot. Like why Slade was after you." He stared at me confused. "Why didn't you fight back?"

"Slade apparently got a device from my arch-enemy, Vlad Plasmius, called the Plasmius Maximus. It cancels out my powers. It use to be for only 3 hour, but apparently he upgraded it to 12 hours. Slade used it on me so I couldn't Go Ghost to defend myself." I explained with narrowed eyes at the memory.

"I see, Is this 'Vlad Plasmius' a ghost as well?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

I nodded. "Half ghost like me, but yes."

Robin was surprised my my remark. "Half ghost like you? Do you know who is human half is?"

I scoffed and glared. "Of corse I do. Everyone knows his human half." When everyone just stared at me blankly and sighed. "Do you guys know Vlad Masters?" I asked crossing my arms.

"Vlad Masters!" Cyborg explaimed. "Isn't he a billionaire?"

I nodded. "Yes. He got his ghost powers way back in Collage, so he is more powerful than I am. But I can be very witty and thats mainly how I kept winning any fights."

When they stared at me shocked I sighed and gave up. "Nevermind. But if Vlad Masters comes to the door, Call me right away so I can kick his sorry ass for giving Slade that stupid weapon." I growled out.

Robin nodded. "Sure."

I looked over and saw Starfire over by the couch still trying to prosses everything I said. I sighed knowing what I needed to do. "Starfire." I called out softly. I got her attention and she turned to look at me.

"Yes, Danny?"

I sighed and looked her right in the eyes. "Sorry for snapping at you earlier. I lost my temper...but my answer still stands." I quickly added in when she opened her mouth her eyes bright. I watch as she visibly deflated.

Everyone laughed at her expression and my quick comment. I smiled softly. "Now...I was wondering..." I said turning to the Titans. "Can I head back to my room please? I'm...very tired." I said softly as I looked at them with calm eyes.

"Sure thing Danny." Robin said with a small smile of his own.

"Yeah, if you need anything, let us know." Cyborg said. "Oh and just to warn you." He said with a teasing tone. "Don't trust anything food-wise that Starfire gives you." He grinned.

I chuckled softly and nodded. "Thanks. I'll keep that noted." I walked to the door and into the hallway heading to my room for some long deserved rest.

~ I hope that didn't go to fast with that. I thought that was a good and unique way expose Danny to the Titans. Let me know you thoughts! Please and Thank You!
