Hi, guys I know I haven't updated recently, but I was and pretty much still am buzy. But being the loving and awesome author I am, JK here a lot, I am updating in hopes you will forgive me. :P Please review, and I will see you at the bottom. Enjoy Chapter 6: Shocking News!

Danny's eyes fluttered open and he groans. "That is like the sixth time I have past out in the last two days! This is not my week."

Sighing as he sat up he pushed aside the thought that bud luck always seemed to follow him anywhere and looked around. It was a small room, one you would normally have for a guest to sleep in with light purple/blue painted walls, dark stone floors, a small dresser with a mirror on top, and of course the bed he was on.

Looking down to see what his bed looked like a sharp gasp pasted his lips.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SUIT?!"

It was true, in stead of his normal simple black and white HAZMAT suit was something completely new. In its place was a slightly tight but very flexible looking long sleeve black shirt, around his neck and around his slightly noticeable biceps where bright green bands. Lifting the silk like blanket, he saw his hands were covered by black gloves that seemed to connect to his shirt, with white covering the tips on his fingers.

Looking, the bottom part of his old suit was replaced with black pants that like the shirt, was a bit tight but looked to be flexible. Holding the pants was a almost pure white belt with a small emerald like gem in the middle of it, and on his feet where the coolest shoes he had ever worn.

The boots looked as pure white as the belt with the same colored straps as the ones on his neck and biceps and they all matched the green gem perfectly.

All in all the new suit looked totally awesome.

As Danny gasped at the new clothes on him, he was snapped from it by a light and amused laugh from the other side of the room.

"It is good to see you are wake and alive, Daniel." An old and wise, but also playful voice says.

"Clockwork!" Danny smiles as he looks up to see his mentor, in his elderly form, floating in front of the door with a crinkly smile.

"It is nice to see you too, Daniel." The ghost chuckles as Danny jumped up to greet him. "It is good to see you healed, you have been getting wounded a lot in the past few days haven't you?"

Danny tried to cover his slight sadness at the thought of how this all started with an embarrassed laugh. "Yea, but most of it is not my fault."

"Indeed most of it is not,' Clockwork agrees. 'But I do believe provoking both Ember and Skulker does leave you some blame."

Danny blushed. "Yea….I guesses so."

Clockwork chuckled again, making a blushing Danny glare lightly at him. "Har-de-har-har."

"Back to your new attire, I believe you are wondering why?" Even though he had stated it as a question it sounded more like a statement.

Danny nodded. "Yea, I was. Where is my old suit?"

"Gone." Clockwork states simply.

"Gone?' Danny repeats confused. 'What do you mean by 'gone?'"

Clockwork floated over to the bed and sat down at the end while Danny sat Chris-cross near the head of the bed and listened closely, after all 'Everything Clockwork says, he says for a reason.'

"You see as your friend Frostbite, told you, your core spiked when it found it was 'mortally' wounded. What he didn't know was because you're a halfa your power is regenerative, it can gain power more quickly then a normal ghost's could. When it spiked, while most ghosts would be faded, or at least knocked out for far long then you have been, it brought your powers 'up a notch'. While you use to be a level 8 ½ on the ecto-meter, you are now just above the line of level 9. With that 'level up' it changed your attire to how your energies saw might help you." Clockwork explains.

"Energies?" Danny says clueless-ly.

"Yes, the Ghost Zone is alive, so to speak. That is why most ghosts stay in it, it holds power in the air that strengthens ghosts as well as it helps hold the homes and doors here. When you got your increase in power it reformed your old suit to match your newer power level." Clockwork says, as he pointed to Danny.

Danny looked at him self a bit more closely and saw that his aura was brighter then it use to be, not by much, but just enough to be noticed.

"Whoa." He mutters.

"Indeed." Clockwork says. "Now I must go the nose-less-but-more then nosy-enough employers of mine will be here in a few minutes to complain about something again. So feel free to look around if you wish."

Danny chuckled at Clockwork's insult and nodded. "Ok, thanks for everything Clockwork!"

Clockwork's eyes softened to something Danny couldn't completely put his finger on and spoke with a warmness that filled Danny with an odd comfort that eased him a bit. "Your welcome, Daniel."

As Clockwork floated back out Danny shook off the odd, but slightly welcomed, feeling and stood up.

Popping bones and stretching his slightly sore muscles, Danny looked around again to see that there were actually two doors. One was the open one that Clockwork had came from and then a closed one.

Shrugging Danny moved over to the other and opened it to look inside. In side was a small walk in closet that was pretty much empty except for one lone cloak hanging on the wall across from the door.

Moving to it Danny says it was black like his new suit with white in side, putting it on Danny clipped it to his right shoulder by a small green gem with the hour and minute hands on it.

Looking at the mirror at the end of the closet Danny found it ended less then a inch above the ground, almost swallowing him whole.

Moving his eyes to his face he took in his reflection. His silver-y/white hair now seemed more white then silver and was fashioned slightly in a wind-swept way. His eyes were a brighter green, giving away his increase in power, and looked a lot like the toxic stuff in glow sticks.

Snickering at the odd but truthful connection he moved away and walked out of the closet, bedroom, and into the hall.

Looking to the left and the right, he shrugged and with no really destination went to the right.

After looking around for what felt like a few hours, he finally got bored and a bit annoyed. After all what is the point of looking around if three out of four of the doors are locked and the others are only small rooms filled with books to the roof.

Jazz would have loved this place. He thought sadly. She and Clockwork would have gotten along pretty well, makes me wonder if she and Ghost Writer would have gotten along. After all they are both nuts in a good way and love reading…

His thought trailed off as he sighed sadly and for the sake of trying one last time, put his hand on the door handle and turned.

He was surprised when in clicked, showing it was unlocked, and he moved it open slowly and looked in side.

It was the main room, the one where the viewing glasses where and where Danny and Clockwork had first met when Clockwork had tried to kill him.

Hearing voices Danny turned his head slightly that was peaking out of the creaked door to see Clockwork floating in front of two ghosts' that faces was pretty much nothing but one big eye in the center of it.

Clockwork was right, they are nose-less. Danny snickers in amusement.

"Clockwork, we do not know why you care for the boy so much, but he is a danger to the Ghost Zone!" The first eye, as Danny chose to name it, exclaims as it waves its bone like arms.

"Yes, his path is following that of his dark future's. He must be destroyed before that can come to happen!" The second eye says, narrowing it's only eye at the Time Master.

"The boy in no way started down the path of his dark future's, so there is no need to kill him. Also you put him under my guidance, so if you are done will you kindly observe the door?" Clockwork says stonily, waving his staff towards the big doors on the other side of the room.

"Be warned Clockwork, should he turn out like his dark half you will be responsible." They warn together before disappearing.

Danny stood in shocked silence, but was jolted from it before he could get into any dark thoughts by his mentor.

"You can come out now, Daniel." Clockwork spoke calmly.

Danny jumped slight and hit the door which in turn hit the book case next to it, making it shake and all the books start to fall down…

…Right on top of Danny.

Danny gasped in fear as he throws his arms up to block the books, but they never came.

Opening one of his tightly closed eyes, he sighs in relief to see them frozen in midair, turning to Clockwork he smiled in thanks.

"Thanks, Clockwork." He says.

Clockwork just smiles that oddly warm smile. "I was not the one to do that, Daniel."

Danny raised a knotted eyebrow in confusion. "Then who did?"

Clockwork chuckles and moves closer to Danny. "Take a guess."

Danny looked around the room, no, no one else was there. Then did that mean that- "I DID THIS?!"

Clockwork nodded. "Yes, you did."

Danny ran a hand through his hair in shock, and then looked at the still frozen books. "How…?"

"How did you do it?" Clockwork says for him, he nodded. "Now Daniel you must understand I never informed you of this before for a reason, do you understand?"

Danny looked confused but nodded, Clockwork waved his hand and two comfortable looking chairs appeared and they sat down.

"Now have you ever wondered why Plasmius looked more like the other ghosts while you still looked human like in your ghost form?" A nod. "Well you see, when your ex-parents and Vlad had opened their first ghost portal it had opened up right in the middle of a ecto-cloud, which here is basically just concentrated ecto-plasm. As a result of only getting hit in the face with that much raw ecto-plasm he got what they named 'ecto-acne' which was nothing more then the ecto-plasm sitting on the top of his skin as it slowly moved its way into his system, and they is why he is more ghost like in looks as well as he didn't get his ghost form right away like you did."

"Ok, I guess I understand the part about Vlad, but what about me? Why did I get my powers and ghost form quicker then he did?" Danny asked.

"Your body is still growing, for one reason, it was easier for your growing body to accept the new substance then his, another is…' Clockwork tailed off slightly before sighing and starting again. 'The other reason is because when you opened your ex-parent's second ghost portal, you were not just hit in the face nor was it opened in a ecto-cloud. You see, Daniel, you remember in Dan's future that the Box Ghost and the Lunch Lady had an offspring, correct?" Nod. "Well what happened to you was very similar to that except also not."

Danny rubbed his head. "Ok, now you have confused me."

Clockwork sighs again moving from his baby form to his adult form. "When you opened the portal, in a sense you started to die. When the ecto-plasm of someone was transferred to you when it was happening it saved your life, gave you your ghost form, and linked you to that person."

Danny's eyebrow knotted with unease. "What do you mean by linked?"

"It could be in a way similar to marriage, becoming siblings, or connects a parent to a offspring, its kind of like DNA for humans but for us it is GNA." Clockwork says.

"Well…What is my 'link' to this person, who are they?" Danny asks.

"It would be my guessing a parent to offspring link, and as for the person, can you not guess who would have had to be there at that exact moment for it to happen?" Clockwork questions back with a raised eyebrow.

Danny bite his tongue in thought as he looked back at the book that had already fallen to the ground in a cluttered mess, he felt slightly tired for some reason and he guessed it was from what he did with those books. By what Clockwork told him that person, who ever they where had to be there at that direct moment, but he only knew one person who could be somewhere at a certain time.

Danny's eyes widened as he looked to his mentor, and now he realized why he had that oddly warm smile, it was a parent's smile, a loving, caring parent's smile.

One he hadn't felt like he had seen in a long time.

"You…" He said trailing off.

Clockwork nodes. "Yes, to put it in a way you would understand, Phantom would be my son, while Fenton would be my half son."

Danny's awed looked turned a bit bitter as he states bluntly. "I'm not a Fenton anymore, I'm fully Phantom. So does that mean I'm your son?"

Clockwork smiles as Danny grew a bit timid near the end, but he perked up at the smile his men- he means father sent him. "Yes, I do believe that makes you my son, Daniel."

Danny smiled in disbelief and jumped towards his dad and pulled him into a hug, one small tear falling down his cheek but because of the happiness he felt he didn't bother to wipe it away.

Maybe this was his week after all.

R&R! Ta.
