SOME REVIEW REPLIES AT THE BOTTOM!

Chapter 12: The Puppet King and the Box Ghost

They were back in the tower. Danny was currently watching Beast Boy race Cyborg on their enormous TV and was cheering the latter on. He would've been racing himself if not that his ecto-electricity power had mutated one of the controllers. He'd been at a loss for what to do until Raven took care of it by un-mutating it with her black magic. The controller had been a wreck after that.

Then he had remembered the thermos. Raven's response to that had been that he should save space for more worthwhile ghosts. She hadn't listened when he insisted the limit wasn't anywhere close at the moment.

But that was in the past. This was the present…

"Get him, Cyborg!" Danny cheered, watching Cyborg squeeze past Beast Boy's car to take the lead.

"Dude!" Beast Boy complained. "Why are you cheering for him?"

"He's racing for me," Danny replied simply. "So doesn't that mean I'm still racing you?"

Beast Boy scowled but said nothing. He simply focused more on his race.

Raven sat in a corner of the couch, engrossed in a book. Robin and Starfire were at the kitchen counter, enjoying the show.

"Are you glad that you are giving him a chance?" Starfire asked quietly.

"Very," Robin admitted in the same tone. "He's…a nice guy."

Starfire beamed. "Most definitely!"

"But I still get the feeling he's hiding something," Robin continued, gazing at Danny thoughtfully.

"So are you," Starfire said rather jokingly, even though she was really serious.

Robin caught it; he turned to smile reassuringly. "I'll tell you eventually. Don't worry."

Starfire smiled, too, although with a tinge of worry. "Good."

Robin gave her a one-armed hug, trying to comfort her. He just wasn't ready to tell his secrets; he hoped Starfire would understand.

In that way he and Danny really were alike.

'I can't fault him too much for keeping secrets,' Robin thought ruefully. 'I'm in the same position.'

This peaceful atmosphere continued for a while longer until the Titans' alarm went off. It made Cyborg lose control of his car for long enough so that Beast Boy crossed the finish line by a hair.

"Yes!" the changeling crowed, seemingly oblivious to the alarm. "I won! I beat Cyborg!"

"Leave it," Cyborg said, dropping his controller to stand. "We need to go."

"Ah, all right." Beast Boy got up, too.

"Titans, let's go!" Robin cried, already at the doors.

Danny stood at the foot of the steps while everybody ran past him. "Can I come with?"

"It's safer here," Robin said, Danny's unstable power at the forefront of his mind.

"But it's a ghost," Danny insisted.

"How do you know that?" Cyborg asked.

"My ghost sense went off at the same time as the alarm." He lifted up his shirt, revealing his utility belt. "You'll need my help with that."

After another second's hesitation, Robin made his decision, hoping he wouldn't regret it. "Fine. But stay behind."

He whirled and left the room, his friends on his heels.

Danny remained behind, staring at the "GAME OVER" sign flashing on the screen. It reflected his life. His life could be over so quickly…just like a video game.

"PLAY AGAIN?"

But he wouldn't get a second chance.

Shaking his head clear of these morbid thoughts, Danny jumped on the bottom step, ran up two, and transformed in midair. He flew off after the Titans, leaving behind the flashing game screen.

"PLAY AGAIN?"

No second chances…

"A warehouse?" Danny sounded confused.

They were standing in front of a gloomy looking warehouse. The windows were boarded, the paint gray and peeling, and there were rusty tractors lying around the entire place.

It looked…haunted.

"The disturbance is here," Robin said firmly. To Danny: "Stay back and try not to be noticed."

"And if it's a ghost?" Danny objected.

"In that case, feel free to go ahead. But if it's one of our enemies then I'd like to have you be an 'unknown factor' so to speak."

Danny's ghost sense went off again. He raised an eyebrow.

"Perhaps he should go ahead," Starfire suggested.

"Invisibly then," Robin allowed.

Danny nodded once and vanished from view. He started towards the entrance, deliberately raising a dust cloud by scuffling his feet so that the Titans could see where he was.

"Going in," he warned quietly, opening the door .

The disembodied voice caused shivers to run down the Titans' backs.

All of them were tense upon entering. They knew that a ghost could come out at any moment. What they didn't know was if another person was with it.

Danny couldn't see a ghost, although all his senses were telling him that one was most definitely present (he ignored the fact that it might be his new power sending shivers through his body). His mind was running through all the ghosts he knew. Only two of them would actually haunt a warehouse…

And one popped out from behind a huge wooden crate. "Beware!" It was the Box Ghost.

His sudden appearance startled the Titans; Danny was just annoyed. In fact, he forgot to drop his invisibility.

"Oh," he started. "You have got to be kidding me—"

He was broken off by the explosion of the crate. The spot where it had stood was glowing green; a cauldron stood there. And standing by the cauldron was one of the oddest figures Danny had ever seen – which was saying something: an animated puppet.

With literally no strings attached and a golden crown on top of its black "hair".

Danny didn't say anything, just stunned to see what looked like an animated puppet. The Titans reacted, though.

"The Puppet King!" Starfire cried.

"Dude!" Beast Boy backed up a step. "Totally not fun!"

Danny was confused. 'What's the big deal?'

He soon found out.

While the Puppet King said nothing, merely leering at the five (Danny was invisible) menacingly, the Box Ghost's eerily diabolical laughter made it very spooky.

"Rob, I think we better back up," Cyborg warned. "You remember what happened last time."

Ssssshhhaaaa…

The strange noise made all of them take another step back.

Then, without warning, green smoke struck each of the Titans, causing Danny to almost jump out of his skin with shock and fright. None of them had noticed it sneaking around their ankles, having emerged from the cauldron's depths.

It was over so quickly.

Robin, Beast Boy, and Cyborg had no chance. The moment the green smoke seeped into their bodies different colors (Robin red, Cyborg whitish-blue, and Beast Boy green) came out of their mouths to fly to several objects the Puppet King was holding. Even though Raven and Starfire attempted to take to the air and escape, Starfire went down first. Raven fought back with her magic until she was overpowered. Their respective colors had been yellow and blue.

When it was all over, each of their eyes glowed green.

Danny was frozen to his spot, too stunned to do anything. His mind was blank.

"Run, Danny!"

That sounded like Raven, even though her voice sounded weird. Which was odd considering that…

Danny's eyes widened when he saw the menacing smoke approach him, only to shrink back at the last second, confusing him.

'Huh?' Still invisible, Danny slowly began to retreat, trying to form a plan of sorts. 'Gotta do something. Think…'

"Psshhht…"

The Puppet King's voice sent shivers down Danny's spine.

"Useless." The Puppet King got up, his joints creaking. He seemed to look straight at Danny with strange eyes. Half of his right was green and seemed to fade to red. The left was completely red. "I can see you."

'What?' Danny jerked back. 'How…? I'm still invisible!'

"No matter." The Puppet King pointed a finger straight at Danny, who was frozen to his spot. "This will work."

"Run!"

Danny's limbs were still frozen when something seemed to knock out all the air in his lungs and pull at his molecules. The force threw him back and he was flying through the air, feeling suddenly empty. What he saw next was possibly the most shocking sight that he had ever seen: The glowing ethereal figure of what seemed to be his ghost half stood/floated for one moment before seemingly being sucked into a vacuum.

'No way.' Danny closed his eyes just before he hit the wall full force and slid down to the dirty ground. 'What just happened?'

His last sight was the malevolent face of the Puppet King leering at him with those horribly mismatched eyes. Eyes that seemed horrifyingly familiar to him.

A very human Danny Fenton passed out in the warehouse, completely at the mercy of the Puppet King…and the Box Ghost.

He woke up to the voice of the Box Ghost, something he never wanted to do again. That ghost was annoying.

Danny felt strange, and very confused. 'What just happened? And why do my hands and feet feel like they're tied up?'

Cautiously, he opened one eye, only to open both upon seeing the familiar figure of Robin standing in front of him.

He started to say Robin's name – his mouth was open and everything – but he choked on his own words when he saw Starfire's eyes. They had always been a shade of green; but now they were a…ghostly green. Quick glances around him showed that the other Titans also had the same shade of green eyes.

Suddenly, everything came rushing back to him. 'Oh crud! Not good at all!'

He looked at his two enemies, who were only ten feet away behind some other crates. This wasn't good at all. What he absolutely had to do was find some way to escape from all this. But he couldn't make it seem obvious. He needed to be sneaky. Which he could do. He hadn't survived the last two years by not being sneaky.

So, by being very sneaky about it, Danny attempted to phase his wrists through his bonds. It didn't work.

'Are these ropes ghost proof or something?' Trying not to panic, Danny tried again, only to further chafe his wrists. 'Why isn't it working?'

He registered the fact that he was feeling different. Somehow the feeling was familiar to him, even though it had been months since he'd felt this way.

'This is exactly how I'd felt after getting rid of my powers,' Danny thought with growing horror. 'How…?' He remembered seeing what he knew now had been his ghost half. 'On top of that being a really bad thing, this is going to make things a lot more complicated.'

"You promised me boxes!"

Danny looked up to see the Box Ghost annoying the Puppet King. A glow to the right of the evil mannequin caught his interest as he tried to make out what it was.

'Is that…?' Danny couldn't believe it. 'It is!'

Hanging off the Puppet King's shoulder was a small puppet with strings. It looked exactly like his ghost half! Next to it were the motionless "bodies" of the Titans, illuminated by the Phantom puppet's white glow along with the cauldron's eerie green one.

Danny thought that the Raven puppet was staring straight at him, which shouldn't be possible. Or…maybe it was.

Wasn't that his ghost half? If it was, then odds were that the Titans' spirits were also in the puppets. His ghost half wasn't with him, meaning that it was somewhere else. He knew that there wasn't a chance that the Puppet King already had a puppet looking exactly like his ghost half, meaning that the villain had cast some sort of spell.

Sheesh… He sounded like some pompous prince in a fairytale…

'Think. There has to be something I can do.'

In frustration, completely forgetting that he was human, Danny tried to turn intangible and break free. It didn't work. But something else happened.

He could've sworn that his puppet changed colors into that bluish-white typical of intangibility.

'Can it be? Is it possible that I'm still linked to my ghost half?' A plan began forming in his head. 'All right… But I better be careful. I can't afford to slip up now.'

Biting his lips, Danny turned invisible. To his delight, the puppet did so. Then he focused on a power that was still relatively new to him. Hopefully he could keep up the invisibility, too. This was new grounds for him.

'Please work,' he prayed.

Danny could see his puppet even though it was invisible. So he could also see it turn green when he focused on teleporting it. It was a far safer bet than telekinesis.

Breathing in deeply, Danny focused on reappearing where he was sitting. He almost dropped his invisibility when he felt the puppet land in his lap in an invisible green flash.

Feeling a small tug in his body that he disregarded, Danny finally dropped the invisibility. Unfortunately, he'd forgotten that it glowed. He quickly turned invisible again, holding his breath and hoping that the Puppet King hadn't noticed.

All that happened was that he conked the Box Ghost in the head after the ghost poked him. He hadn't noticed the disappearance and sudden decrease in weight.

Exhaling in relief, Danny turned intangible, spreading it to himself this time. It was odd, having to direct his powers through something else.

'But it's teaching me a lot about finesse,' Danny thought, pulling his wrists and ankles free. He rubbed his sore wrists, dropping the intangibility.

'Stage two now.'

Spreading the invisibility to cover himself, Danny silently stood up, looping his ghost half around his neck so that it hung like a purse at his side. He crept between the Titans without tipping any of them off.

One good (and possibly the only) side effect of having mindless drones as guards was that they weren't very bright.

'But they will notice my absence if they turn around. It's too bad duplication won't work right now.' He was bending really low, creeping closer to his foes.

The Box Ghost was sulking now. Suddenly the ghost looked up.

'Please don't notice, please don't notice…'

"He's gone!" the Box Ghost cried.

'Drat!' Danny screwed his eyes shut, then opened them, determined.

The Puppet King sprang up, looking at where Danny was supposed to be. "No!"

The voice sounded different, although Danny had no time to reflect on it. Grabbing an ecto-gun off his belt, which hadn't been taken since his new shirt hid it ('Thank you, Starfire.'), he sprang up, firing two shots in rapid succession. They hit their marks, knocking the Puppet King and the Box Ghost back.

Jumping over the crate between the two groups, Danny turned visible when he landed. With his black clothes and hair, smoking ecto-gun, and the glowing puppet by his side, Danny appeared terrifying in the light of the cauldron.

"Danny!"

He saw the Robin puppet moving its mouth. 'Whoa.' None of his surprise was evident on his face.

"Why didn't you run?"

"Quiet!" the Puppet King snapped, shaking the Titans' puppets.

"I don't abandon my friends," Danny replied coolly, meeting the Puppet King's black dot-like eyes.

Wait…

'Weren't they red and green before?' Danny remembered the terrifying glow of those mismatched eyes. 'What is going on? Even his voice sounds different!'

"Very noble of you," the Puppet King said. "But you have something that belongs to me."

"This?" Danny held his puppet firmly. "Ha. Don't think so. This is me, for your information. Besides, I'm pretty sure that those are my friends that you're holding."

"The ones behind you, you mean?"

Danny felt something shooting straight for his head and ducked, seeing Robin's body behind him. Thinking quickly, he landed on the floor and swiped Robin's legs out from under him. The boy wonder toppled over just as Danny stood upright to sidestep a furious cheetah.

"Down, kitty!" Danny ordered, catching sight of three more Titans approaching him menacingly. He also saw a four feet high crate just several feet away.

Reaching it in two steps, Danny hopped on top of it and grabbed the mini-Fenton Foamer, remembering its sticky abilities. He flipped the power on as high as it could go, knowing that he would need a big punch in order to keep the Titans' bodies out of commission.

"Get him!" the Puppet King ordered.

"Get him!" the Box Ghost echoed. This earned him a vicious glare. "Eep!"

Danny shot five times with this ecto-gun, hitting the three boys. Raven and Starfire jumped aside because of their flight abilities. But they were all plastered to a wall or the floor in the next minute as Danny fired the Foamer.

'That should keep them for now.'

Hitching the Foamer back on his belt, Danny leaped off the crate, landed in front of the Puppet King, and tackled it head on, shocking the villain.

"Ungh!" The Puppet King's head made an ugly sound upon contact with the floor.

"I'll take my friends back, thank you very much!" Danny deftly phased the Titans' puppets off the Puppet King's body before jumping off and retreating. He put some crates between them, not sure what else the villain was capable of. In the meantime, the Titans joined his ghost half's puppet.

"Can you handle him, Danny?" Cyborg called, startling Danny.

"I should be able to," Danny answered truthfully, readying his ecto-gun.

"But your ghost half is down here!" Beast Boy objected.

"Trust me!" Danny shot the Puppet King in the knee as it was getting up. Not his style but anything went in this fight. "How do you think I got it on me?"

"Behind you, Danny!" Raven warned.

Danny whirled, only to get hit by a wave of black magic that threw him up off the ground. "Oof!"

"Danny!" they all cried.

"I'm fine!" Danny bit out, seeing Raven's body fly up towards him. 'Although I might not be fine in a minute!'

Desperate, Danny pulled the trigger of his weapon. He never expected Raven's black magic to seize the ecto-beam, wrench the gun out of his hands, and redirect his attack back at him. The force threw him right into the roof where he stuck. "Agh!"

He coughed, trying to get air into his lungs.

Just as he opened his eyes, he saw Raven about to deliver a powerful attack. Squeezing his eyes shut in horror, he waited for the end, only to suddenly feel very disoriented. His eyes opened in time for him to see a warp around him dump him on the floor, very far away from the roof.

At the same time, he felt another, more powerful tug in his body. In addition, his limbs felt weighted down.

"Roll!" he heard Robin cry.

Then his limbs were as light as they usually were; Danny rolled quickly to the side and jumped to his feet, seeing a large piece of the roof crash into the ground where he had been lying. There was a large hole in it about the size of his back.

"Close call," Beast Boy said, relief evident in his voice. "Thanks, Robin."

'I must've turned intangible up there so I wouldn't hurt my back,' Danny realized. 'Or my ghost half did.' He looked down to see it just staring ahead, although its glow seemed dimmer. 'It teleported me out of there, too.'

"Watch out, Danny!" Starfire shouted, jerking Danny out of his thoughts.

Reflexively, Danny jumped away from his position, landing on a crate six feet away and ten feet high. He was seated a bit like a frog with one hand on the wooden top to steady himself.

"You flew!" Starfire said, amazed.

A sharp pain in Danny's chest prevented him from answering. 'Ow…'

He saw Raven fly at him again. He managed to spin away, landing on the ground and facing the now-destroyed crate. Dizziness hit him then. He gagged, trying to stop himself from prematurely getting rid of his lunch.

"Are you all right?" Cyborg asked, sounding alarmed.

"Will be," Danny managed to say.

A sudden chill touched his side. Knowing what it had to be, Danny snatched the Fenton Foamer and blindly fired behind him, his eyes still on the very dangerous Raven.

He was awarded by a yelp from the Box Ghost. Sparing himself one minute, Danny grabbed his thermos, the one he had in human form. Uncapping it, he then remembered that hadn't powered it or used it in months. He grabbed his puppet and channeled energy from it, feeding it to the thermos.

The bluish-white energy ensnared the Box Ghost, who had managed to dodge Danny's initial attack. "No! I will escape, Phantom! No cylindrical container can trap me!" he wailed, spinning his legs as he tried to run/fly away. He was gone a second later.

Even though he normally would've given a clever quip then, Danny staggered, feeling his stomach turn itself out as pain shot through his muscles. He saw Raven's hand miss the back of his head as he leaned over a crate, losing his lunch in the process as he did so.

'Ugh.' His feet slipped out from under him when he tried to sidestep Raven's next attack; her leg passed through the air where his head had been. 'What's going on?'

"Get up, Danny!" Robin urged.

Sluggishly, Danny turned on his stomach, feeling the ground shudder next to him. Aware that he was very close to being seriously injured or even killed, Danny recovered enough to somersault himself to his feet and slide behind another crate using his kinetic energy.

"Why is it just you, Raven?" he panted.

"I'm the only one capable of escaping ectoplasm," Raven explained. "The others could, too, but they need brains."

"Joy." Danny unhooked the chain that was looped through his belt buckles. "I'm sorry, Raven. This might hurt a bit."

The chain ready to go, Danny leapt out from behind the crate, meeting Raven head on with a swinging chain ready to unleash some pain. He knocked her hand aside with his own and kicked her in the chest, causing her to stagger back.

Then, with the still swinging chain, Danny took a step back and threw it. His cap was still on one side, giving it added weight. The chain looped around the off-balanced Raven. Danny ran around her, tightening it, and then pulled.

Raven fell with the pull and into another open crate. Knowing that wouldn't hold her, Danny grabbed the mini-Fenton Bazooka from his belt. Acting only on a hunch, he shot it at her. Raven was instantly sucked into a portal, although he noted that wasn't green in it.

He only had a few minutes before the portal dumped her here upon seeing that there was no Ghost Zone in the vicinity. Danny ran towards the Puppet King, clambering over crates as he did so.

"Your ghost half is losing power, Danny!" Raven warned. "Be careful!"

Danny saw the flickering glow of his puppet. 'So that's why I've been feeling bad.' This came with another realization. 'If I use up my puppet's power…I'll die.'

His already surging adrenaline was given a boost by this revelation and he jumped over a final crate to land in front of the Puppet King.

Okay…now he had no clue what to do.

"The remote control he has!" Raven said. "Throw it in the cauldron!"

Danny saw the cauldron, which was being lit by nothing. Candles with green flames surrounded it in a circle. It looked like some eerie ritual was being performed. He looked for the remote; then he saw it in the Puppet King's hands, something that he hadn't noticed before.

How could he get it?

"You've been a nuisance," the Puppet King growled, his voice echoing.

'The echo!' Danny looked at its eyes, which were mismatching again. 'That's—that's not the Puppet King! That's something else!'

"I would've gotten rid of you sooner but I had to recuperate. No matter. This will fix you!"

His mouth hinged open, releasing a thick green smoke very similar to the Fenton Foamer's.

Sssshhhaaa...

It was that same noise. And this time it was accompanied by that chill at his side; shooting pains ran through his muscles, causing him to cringe.

'Great! My ghost sense is involuntary!' Danny clutched his chest, scowling. 'But then…' Out came his thermos and he immediately uncapped it, unleashing its suctioning power. "Take that, ghost!"

"Ghost?" Beast Boy asked.

"Aaargh!" The Puppet King's strange eyes began fading to black as Danny continued to suck the smoke in. "You will pay for this!" His voice faded towards the end as the smoke completely disappeared.

The Puppet King's body collapsed and Danny took the opportunity to run towards his body. Raven would return any second now.

He bent down quickly and scooped up the remote, throwing it into the cauldron. Immediately there was a huge explosion that threw Danny back. He hit a crate and lay there, feeling his chest tighten for a moment before he watched in a sort of horrified fascination as what seemed like a face emerged from the fire. It was twisting as the smoke that made it up twisted. It had a lopsided malevolent grin on its face, one that seemed familiar to Danny, although it looked different, too.

Then, after a gigantic whoosh of air occurred that pulled Danny forward, it vanished, leaving the cauldron still filled with a glowing blue fire. Danny stayed sitting there, horrified, as he wondered what to do next.

He felt an enormous amount of energy – dark energy – and knew that Raven was back. Getting to his feet quickly, he stepped over the Puppet King's body, which he felt stir.

"What do I do?" he demanded, kneeling down before the cauldron. He looked back and saw the Puppet King starting to get to his feet.

"That should have worked!" Robin said.

"But it didn't!"

"Put out the flames!" Raven suggested quickly, feeling Danny's panic.

'How? If I were in my ghost half I'd use my ice powers but…'

Danny heard crackling, a sign that Raven was gearing up for an attack.

'No time!' Danny crouched down, clutching his puppet, knowing that this was the only way.

"No, Danny!" Raven protested.

"I don't have any time!" Danny snapped. "This is the only way!"

Then, before anybody could object further, Danny froze the flames, putting out the cauldron as his ice melted quickly in the abnormally hot flames, creating water that doused everything. The minute he did so blinding pain crippled him. He couldn't scream; his lungs were immobilized. It was all he could do to keep breathing.

He felt rather than saw Raven stop her attack. He felt the Puppet King collapse a final time. He felt the Titans' spirits leave their puppets.

And then, he felt his own puppet disintegrate.

His body was on fire. He couldn't breathe; couldn't see; couldn't hear… It felt like the accident all over again. Except that he couldn't even scream now.

Then he felt something hit him; every molecule in his body burst into sheer agony.

Then, finally, he screamed.

Raven didn't want Danny to use his ghost powers. The white-haired puppet's light was flickering, an ominous sign. Add the fact that Danny was slowing down significantly whenever doing anything like a ghost and it didn't look good.

But he was right. There was no time. Already she could sense her body's malevolent energy seeping into the warehouse.

The puppet's light winked out like a candle when Danny used the last of its power to put out the cauldron. Raven abruptly found herself back in her body, reigning in her power and looking down on a seizing Danny Fenton.

She landed hurriedly, looking for her friends until she remembered what Danny had done to keep them out of his way. They would be a while then.

Raven next tried to grab Danny's puppet. But to her great alarm, it dissipated.

"No!" she cried. She stretched a hand out to Danny but was repelled by a green light that had surrounded him in a tightly compacted ball of spinning energy. It pushed her back further, claiming a circle of five feet around Danny.

Her eyes were wide by the time the green energy completely obstructed Danny from view.

"Raven!"

That was Robin. She couldn't tell if he was free or not, nor did she care. Danny was more important.

The green energy suddenly seemed to collapse in on itself and get sucked right into Danny's body like a black hole. The seizing stopped and he started rising in the air, a green outline around his abnormally still body.

Raven thought the worst was over until the noise hit. It was a horrible wailing, just like hundreds of ghosts moaning at once. It was so loud she couldn't hear herself think. It was so powerful that the ground and the warehouse were shaking.

And it was coming from Danny, who was clearly screaming for his life.

'That horrible sound can't be coming from him. …But it is…' The power was whipping Raven's cloak around; she put a hand up to keep her hood on. 'So powerful…'

Danny's hair was fading to white and his clothes were morphing into his jumpsuit. He was transforming into Phantom, in what seemed to be a very painful way.

It seemed to take forever until he completely turned into Phantom. Then the wailing stopped, leaving the warehouse and its foundation worse for the wear. Finally, a ring formed around Danny's waist, splitting to turn Phantom into Fenton.

Raven felt frozen to her spot until Danny dropped from the air. She managed to catch him midair and landed once again.

This time she was joined by her friends, who were all covered in a sticky green substance. They were quiet, most likely from shock.

"What," Robin finally said, voice hoarse, "was that?"

Raven looked down at an exhausted Danny, who was still breathing heavily. "I don't know, Robin; I don't know."

FantomoDrako: I fixed that mistake. Thanks. Sorry for not getting back earlier.

stick fight3: Thanks for suggesting that! I think I fixed that, too...

DGirl101: Well, at least you have break now, right?

Kirby77DP77: No worries! It'll remain Danny/Sam. I can see why some people would assume otherwise, though.

lachlal: You'll find out. Eventually...

SpartanCommander: In order to get full help, Danny needed to reveal his secret. He reasoned that since the Titans were all superheroes and not really human (most of them anyway), they'd understand. Besides, no offense to Danny but he's not exactly the brightest guy when it comes to figuring scientific stuff out. That's Tucker and Sam.

crimsonshrouds: Ah... That's the big question, isn't it?

Mr. Page: I'm so happy that you're enjoying my story. I will be going back to Amity Park eventually. Clockwork is all mysterious... I'm glad you're enjoying everything. :) Thanks!
