Dan Muse: We are dreadfully sorry for the late update, we would love to have had this posted on time, but Rae, my little mouse, was busy with her Senior Project in school and she wouldn't allow me to type up the chapter...

Me: And good reason too, I saw what you had planned for this chapter if I allowed you to do this chapter...if it will make you happy, I will allow you to write your own one shot and do whatever you want in it, okay?

Dan Muse:...fine...but no limitations for me! I wanna do whatever the hell I want in that story.

Me: Deal. Now back to the story!

~I Do Not Danny Phantom or the Teen Titans~

Chapter 30 - Danielle

Ravens POV

I stared up at the floating girl with confusion and wariness. I was confused because she looked so much like Danny's Ghost form, and wariness because I had no idea who she was or what she wanted.

"Who are you?" I asked, my lavender eyes narrowed.

"Dani, with and 'i'." The girl said. 'Dani' smiled and landed on the ground a few feet away from me. "I was looking for my cousin, Danny."

Danny? He had a cousin? "Danny Phantom?" I asked her. "You look a lot like him."

Dani rubbed the back of her next nervously. A motion I have seen Danny make before. "Yeah...there's a lot of stuff behind that. I'd rather not get into that right now." She said sheepishly. "So...do you know where he is at? And why you beat the non-living daylights out of Vlad?"

I nodded and slowly relaxed, seeing that this girl is no threat. "Yeah. Danny is up in the medical wing right now under intensive surgery." I saw he eyes widen with horror. "And the reason why I was beating the shit out of Vlad- "I glared at the unconscious man- "is because he put Danny in there."

"Oh my gosh!" Dani said staring to look panicked. "Is is okay! What the hell did that fruit-loop do to Danny!" she demanded, her eyes glowing a bright and fierce green that I have only seen on Danny.

I blinked and stared calmly at her. "Danny will be fine. He and Vlad just got into a fight and he took a hard ending to it." I said softly. "But if you must know, Danny was stabbed in the Core. A cowardly act from Vlad"

Dani's hands covered her mouth, her eyes wide and glistening with unshed tears. "W-when can I see him?"

I shrugged my shoulders. "Whenever Cyborg is done. But he will more than likely say to leave him alone for awhile and let him rest and heal. Danny almost died." He would have died if Clockwork hadn't stepped in. I thought to myself.

Dani nodded her head, her eyes till filled with tears and worry. "A-alright." She floated a foot off the ground and glared over at Vlad, and then she raised her hand and fired a green ecto-ray. The blast slammed into Vlad and sent him skidding across the room. I held down a smirk. Seems like Vlad has made a lot of enemies in his half-life.

"That was for hurting my cuz you crazed up fruit-loop!" Dani yelled at the unconscious man with a glare. "Seeing as how you have already beaten him into this pathetic state, which is awesome by the way, I guess I'll have to wait for him to wake up before I can give him my own dose of torcher." Dani said, looking up at me with a weak smile. "I call dibs."

I had a hard time holding down a smirk at that. "What did Vlad do to make you hate him?" I asked her, curious to know her obvious dislike for the pompous asshole.

Dani's vivid green eyes darkened and her lips pursed with distaste of the subject. "The fruit-loop tried to use me to hurt my cousin. Almost succeeded too, till I learned what his plan was and joined Danny's side." She told me. Her eyes softened though and she looked pleadingly up at me. "When can I see Danny? I want to see if he is okay."

I nodded my head slowly. "When Cyborg is done, we can visit his room. Want to go upstairs and wait?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer.

She nodded her head vigorously and smile. "Hell yes!" She said floating a few feet up off the ground.

I smiled softly at her, already liking the girl. "Alright, follow me." I turned and left the room, leaving the unconscious Vlad lying on the floor in the room, knowing that he couldn't get out with the ghost shield around the room. The sudden though caused me to pause and looked back at Dani. "How did you get into the room anyways? It's ghost proof." I asked curiously.

Dani seemed confused with my question then blinked and smiled. "Oh! Easy. I used the door." She told me as she pointed to the door behind us. "It was unlocked so I walked right in. I think you were too busy beating the snot out of Vlad to notice me walk in."

I blinked at Dani, not even thinking of her using the door. It seemed...too humane for a ghost to use. "Okay. Well...honestly didn't even think of that..."I trailed off slight before shrugging. "Anyway, let's go ahead and head to the medical wing so that we can wait for Cyborg to finish up on healing Danny."

Dani nodded smiling softly, if a bit strained. We walked in silence the whole way to the medical wing, watching as Dani studied everything around her as she went by, making sure none of them were threats. Also just like Dani. I am starting to think that they were more than cousins. They look ridiculously a like, almost to the point if she were 2 years older, she could pass off as his twin, and they way that acted.

I narrowed my eye curiously, studying Dani as we walked through the tower. There was no way they could possibly be cousins. She looked to be more like a- I felt my eyes widened when A recent memory popped up.

"Did someone clone and evil copy of you?" Robin asked Danny

"No...I do have a clone but she is traveling the world right now." Danny replied testily.

I gave Dani another look over. She must be that clone Danny was talking about. But why tell me they were cousins? Was it some kind of cover story? I felt my lips purse with thought. I figured that the best way to get answers was to ask. "You're Danny's clone, aren't you?" I asked her with a curious and hard stare.

Dani flinched slightly at the word 'clone', but after a moment's hesitation, she nodded her head slowly. "Yeah. I'm his clone." She told me.

I raised an eyebrow feeling small smug satisfaction that I was right. But I kept my calm and cool exterior up. "Why lie then?"

Dani was fidgeting slightly under my stare, but answered anyways. "I don't like being labeled as a 'Clone'. It feels so...hurtful and discriminating to me. And also seeing as how Vlad use to be my 'father' before I figured everything out, and Vlad was practically Danny's uncle because Danny's father and Vlad use to be best of friends back in collage , it made since to call each other cousins."

I nodded, understanding the concept. "Alright. I guess that makes sense." We slowed down as we finally came to a stop at the medical wing of the tower, seeing the other Titans, minus Cyborg, sitting or pacing nervously in the hallway. As we approached, they turned and noticed Dani floating next to me, looking nervous.

"Uh… hi there?" Dani said, making it sound more like a question. "I-I'm Dani with and 'i'. I heard what happened a year ago to Danny and came rushing to find him. I tracked him to this tower. Raven told me what happened to him." She said sadly, looking on the verge of tears- or going down to beat the shit out of Vlad some more.

Robin looked questioningly at me then curious at Dani. "Okay. And what is your relation to Danny?" He asked, almost sounding...protective of Danny. I raised my eyebrows at that, but didn't comment. I saw Dani glance at me nervously; obviously wonder on how she should answer.

"It's okay Dani. They won't judge you." I told her calmly.

Dani nodded stiffly, and looked back to the confused and curious Titans. "I'm Danny's clone."

All three of their faced were either shock, awe or both.

Robin spoke first. "So you're that clone he mentioned before." He said, almost to himself. Dani nodded her head, smiling sheepishly.

Starfire flew up to the girl and inspected her at a closer level, enticing a squeak of surprise from said girl at the sudden movement and the close inspection she was receiving. "You look very simular to the ghost form of Danny. You almost look to me his twin sister if it weren't for you younger age." She said to Dani. "But you're a lot more friendlier then Danny was when we first meet him." She stated.

Dani looked confused at her. "What do you mean by that?"

Beast Boy walked over and smiled a weak toothy grin at Dani, his eyes still bloodshot from all his crying. Dani eyes went wide at his green skin, but didn't comment. "Danny was very cold of all of us at first. He would be very snappy and touchy about something's."

Dani's eyes widened. "Really? That's nothing like the Danny I use to know." her expression turned sadder, her eyes dimming. "But...I guess that's just his way of coping with the loss of his family and friends." she said softly. "I feel so bad for him. I wish I could have been there for him. He was alone for little over a year with no one to comfort him after the...explosion." she practically whispered the last word her eyes downcast.

I nodded. "Yes. It must have been very hard to go through all of that. But he had us, and now you, since you are here now. Besides, right after the battle, before...well..." I cleared my throat, not wanting to finish. "Danny seemed to be getting over his depression. He even allowed me to touch him without flinching away or snapping at me. He was smiling too." I told them.

They all smiled, but Robin was the one to speak up. "That's good. It means that he has come a long way."

We all nodded, faint smile of my own, gracing across my lips.

"So...I guess all we can do now is wait." Beast Boy said with a gentle smile. "I hope Danny can pull though."

We all nodded slowly, before settling outside the door, waiting for Cyborg to finish up and give us some news. Hopefully good news. We waited in silence; Dani was pacing across the hallway with her obvious worry her male counterpart that was on the other side of the door.

We waited there for little over an hour before the door slid open and Cyborg was standing in the doorway with a tired expression and green blood stains on his gloves. We all quickly stood up and looked at him with questioning expression. He gave us a small smile. "He'll be fine." I felt myself sigh with relief as the others whooped for joy before Cyborg shushed them. "You need to be quite though, because he is still resting. He won't be waking up for a few hours." He informed us. "He needs as much healing rest as he can get. And I am also going to have to find a way to get him a blood transfer. I was thinking Plasmius but...I'm not sure Danny would be too happy about that."

Dani hopped up and flew in front of Cyborg startling him. "I'll do it!"

Cyborg blinked at Dani in confusion. "Who are you?" He asked with surprise.

Dani scowled at him. "Does it matter who I am right now? You need a blood donor for Danny and I'm offering."

"But we need a half ghost DNA that would be compatible for his mixture of both human and ghost blood." He explained to her. I could feel a small smirk twitch as my lips.

Dani glared harder. "I don't think you're going to find a more compatible donor than me. After all, I'm his clone."

Cyborg's eyes grew wide before looking around at all of us in the hallway. We all nodded our heads in conformation. Cyborg looked at Dani with a big grin. "Well, alrighty then. That was easier than I expected."

Dani's scowl faded away to a relieved smile. "Good. So can we hurry up, I wanna help Danny as much as I can." She told Cy.

Cyborg nodded his head and looked at the rest of us. "Wait out here until I'm done. Once umm...what's your name?" He asked with confusion and turned to look at Dani.

Dani smiled. "Dani with an 'i'."

"Okay then...Once…Dani with an 'i' is finished with her blood donation I'll allow all of you five minutes at a time with Danny with a 'y'." He said looking a bit confused with the two Danny(i)'s.

We all nodded as Dani and Cyborg walked into the room, letting the room slide shut again. I leaned against the wall and crossed my arms over my chest to wait. We waited for about another 30 minutes, before the door slide back open again and Cy was once more standing in the door way.

Only Dani wasn't him.

I pushed myself off the wall and looked at him concerned. "Where's Dani?"

Cyborg smiled. "She's fine. Just resting up a bit. I had to take as much blood from her body as safely possible for Danny, so she is a bit tired. She is asleep on the bed next to Danny...umm ...Danny with a 'y'." He said looking confused again and scratching the top of his head. "Man that's gonna get confusing." He shook his head and smiled at up. "But they're going to be just fine. You welcome to come in one at a time to visit if you wish, but be sure to be quite. Danny with a 'y' still has a very active defense reflex causing me to have to sedate him while I worked. We don't need him reopening the stitches." We all stared at him with surprise.

"What do you mean by that?" Robin asked stepping up to Cyborg. "What did he do?"

Cyborg chuckled softly. "Well, when I started to...umm...get the knife out, he thrashed and squirmed in pain trying to get away from me, even though he was completely out cold. Then when I started trying to disinfect to wound and clean it out so I could stitch him up, he last out with a fist and almost dislocated my jaw." He said, touching at his jaw tenderly. "After that I sedated him."

I blinked at Cy with awe. Beast Boy's eyes widen as he stared with shock and Robin and Starfire looked surprised. Beast Boy chuckled. "Well at least we know not to mess with Danny while he is asleep."

Cyborg nodded. "Yeah, well whoever wishes to visit first may go in." He said, stepping out of the door way. Beast Boy jumped up and made a bee line into the room. We all shared and amused smile. Typical BB. We all took turns going in and checking to see how Danny was doing after his near death experience. Beast Boy was first, followed by Starfire, then Robin. I was last.

When Robin exited the room and flashed me a small smile. "Your turn Rae."

I walked into the room and looked around once before allowing my purple gaze to land on a bed that held a lump under some blankets. Dani was lying on the bed beside it, so I knew for a fact that it was Danny's.

I walked over and looked down on the boy that lay on the bed. I couldn't hold back the wince at the condition that Danny was in. I could see the thick gauze wrapped tightly round his chest from under the blankets. He had a breathing tube down his throat and needles attached to his arms, injecting both Dani's donated blood, and some fluids into his body. He had a few wires attached to him leading to a heart monitor that read his vital readings. He also had a few burns littering across his arms from where Vlad had managed to get in a few shots. But those were quickly healing.

I sighed and sat down in the chair next to his bed, seeing Dani on the other, sleeping peacefully on her side under the covers. I looked back at Danny and ran a hand through my short black hair. "You gave us all a big scare Danny." I paused before speaking again with a gentle smile. "But were all glad your okay. I gave Vlad the biggest beating of his life for you...I don't think you will be needing to worry about him for a while. Even Dani, your clone, got a good smack in." I said, feeling ridiculous for talking to someone who was asleep. But this was the best I could do right now.

I sighed and looked down the floor. "Just be sure to get better soon. We would like to go ahead and start trying to help your reputation of being the good guy back. It's only a matter of time before people start learning were house a wanted criminal in our tower." I stood up and looked back down at the sleeping Danny. "Get better soon, Danny." Then I turned and walked out of the room, seeing Cyborg standing by the door with a smirk.

"So our little miss demoness has a heart." He said teasingly, causing me to flush slightly. He chuckled and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry Raven, you're not the only one. We're all worried for him."

I felt a gentle tug at my lips. "Yeah, Danny's a good kid. A bit cold sometimes, but he honestly good underneath that icy exterior." I said softly.

Cyborg nodded. "Yes, he is. Man, he's like a male version of you." He grinned.

I gave him a half hearted glare. "Very funny. I'm going to go to my room and meditate. Come and tell me when he wakes up, okay?"

Cyborg nodded and gave me a mock military salute. "Yes ma'am."

Feeling the best I have in hours, I walked to my room and sat down in the middle of my floor to meditate. I felt a smile on my lips, happy that everything has turned out okay in the end.

End Chapter 30! Again, sorry about the week late update, but I was busy with senior project last week so I didn't have much time to work on it. But at least I updated, right? ...meh, see you all next week... *yawns*
