Chapter 14: Control Freak and Wulf

Even though Danny felt completely normal at the moment, he knew that such normality wouldn't last. In fact, he hadn't felt this normal since the fight with Technus. There was no ecto-electricity creeping under his skin or anything else bugging him. The only thing that was slightly out of the ordinary was the company he was keeping but even that was becoming more and more familiar.

He felt at home here, even though his real home was in Amity Park, with Sam and Tucker. The fact that he could feel so at home in a different dimension without his friends with him made him feel guilty.

'Why does everything always have to be so complicated?' Danny thought.

"Black or white, Danny?" Starfire called, looking at bed sheets.

Danny sighed. "Neither," he answered. "Do you have any blue anywhere?"

They were in a department store for furniture. Starfire had seen that Danny needed a bed, bed sheets, pillows, etc. Pretty much, he needed everything that man needed in order to have a comfortable room. Accompanying them were Beast Boy and Raven, the latter with her hood down (Danny was privately wondering why she'd kept it on for so long if she was keeping it down now). The other two were outside enjoying the sunny day.

"Do you like blue?" Beast Boy asked.

"Yeah. My room back home is blue."

"Will this do?" Starfire chimed, showing Danny a package of light blue sheets.

"Great. Now I'd like a pillow and blanket like that." Danny pushed forward the cart he was maneuvering. "And nothing with the emblem," he added. For some reason, Starfire loved the DP emblem Sam had designed.

"Are you sure you do not wish for a new mattress?" Starfire inquired.

"Nah. The spare one Beast Boy has is fine." Danny didn't notice the queasy looks the two girl Titans shared. He dropped a package of dark blue pillow sheets into the cart. "And I don't know how long I'll stay."

"What do you mean?" Starfire didn't sound happy.

"This isn't my home. It's not even my dimension. I don't belong here, Starfire, even if I feel like I do." There. He'd finally said one of the things that was bothering him.

"So you feel at home here with us."

"I do," Danny admitted guiltily. "Much more than in my own world."

Raven reappeared then, depositing something that matched what Starfire and Danny had picked out earlier. "And you feel guilty about that," she said simply, interpreting Danny's emotions correctly.

Danny said nothing, merely inspecting his shoes.

Raven nodded and turned to Starfire. "We're done here. Let's just buy the stuff and leave."

After a quick check-out and no gawks – something which Danny still marveled at – the four met Robin and Cyborg outside the store.

"Got everything?" Robin asked, getting up from his motorcycle, which was parked by the curb.

"Yes," Starfire answered, not sounding as chipper.

Robin had been about to glare accusingly at Danny when Raven mouthed, "Later." Cyborg gave the team leader a sharp nudge in the shoulder before relieving Danny of his bags and putting them in his car's trunk. It was parked behind Robin's motorcycle.

Feeling awkward among the five Titans, especially since he had caught Robin's accusing face, Danny moved slightly away from the group to look into a different shop. They still had time because as Cyborg was kindly clearing away the shopping bags, Starfire and Robin were quietly talking off in a little corner and looked to be taking a while. Raven and Beast Boy were just standing around, although Raven had now taken out a book and was flipping through the pages.

Danny looked into the closed shop's window. It wasn't anything interesting. It was a tiny furniture store with limited selections. He was guessing that it was more for the elite because of the high class exhibition pictures offered for view in the window display. Large numbers next to the different styles supported this guess.

Feeling Beast Boy join him now, Danny had been about to turn around when it seemed to suddenly become very cold. Danny shivered, feeling the wind tear at his clothes. He brought his hands up, trying to warm them. To his surprise, his breath his chilled his hands even more.

Then, just as quickly as it had come it was gone. The air felt as warm as it had ever been. Thinking it very weird, Danny caught sight of his reflection. His hair seemed shaggy, almost too long. In the reflection his black shirt seemed almost like a sweater. But what really startled him were the eyes. His blue eyes seemed darker…almost shadowed.

Beast Boy was pressing his nose to the glass, squinting as he tried to get a better peek at the inside. He seemed oblivious to Danny's reaction to his reflection.

Swallowing, Danny caught sight of the reflection of a figure on the other side of the street, directly outside a store for video/DVD rentals. Whoever it was had huge shoulders and a tall frame. The dirty and rather ragged hoodie that he was wearing seemed too small with that kind of a frame. As Danny watched, the figure disappeared into the store it had been standing outside of.

Barely a minute after the figure had entered did Danny get a slightly apprehensive feeling. It was too peaceful…too ordinary. From Danny's experience, it was never truly peaceful or ordinary. There was always something going on underneath the surface. Besides, he was familiar with this feeling, even though he hadn't felt it since before the disasteroid. It was the type of feeling that he got when a hard test was looming on the horizon. That meant that it wasn't going to be too bad but still…

Danny shifted positions, keeping the Titans at his back. He wouldn't have to worry about an attack from that direction. That left three more; he didn't trust the store to not hide a couple of thieves.

Beast Boy noticed Danny's tenseness. "You all right?"

"Yeah," Danny answered distractedly. "It's nothing."

Two minutes later and Danny was beginning to feel silly. 'Maybe it really is nothing. I've been wrong before…'

No sooner did he think this did the sound of gun shots break the air.

"Freak! Get out of here!"

The gun shots and the harsh yell had all of them start approaching the video/DVD store, where it had come from. Danny was at the forefront, even though Robin was now attempting to push him back.

Cars had stopped driving and people were getting out, having heard the gun shots. They were all quiet, just simply waiting.

The Titans were still in the middle of the street when the hooded figure Danny had seen earlier was thrown through the door. He flew right past them, something Danny found odd but didn't have time to dwell on.

None of the Titans noticed; they were occupied with the appearance of an overweight red-haired man with shadows under his eyes. His scraggly red hair seemed unwashed and extended past his shoulders. He was sporting a black overcoat and a long rifle. On his arm was a bag, most likely filled with stolen goodies.

"Oh, dude!" Beast Boy moaned, catching Danny's attention. "Not him again!"

Danny studied the opposition. "He doesn't look that bad. He needs a diet, though."

"Wait until you get a taste of what he does," Cyborg warned. "He can pack a mean punch."

"Stay back, Danny," Robin ordered. "To Control Freak you're just a pedestrian. Let's keep it that way."

Remembering Robin's reasoning from last time and not seeing or sensing any ghosts around and therefore no reason to stick around, Danny turned on his heel and ran back in the direction he came from. He stopped for a second to see if the large man was there but he was gone. As he did so, he saw that the people who had been waiting by their cars had fled, not wanting to be part of this newest fight of the Teen Titans.

Wondering where the man could have gone so quickly and also about how the people of Jump City felt about these disruptions, Danny hid under Cyborg's car, wanting to keep an eye on the Titans. It was getting heated.

"It is time that we meet again!" Control Freak announced. "This time you won't win!"

Danny couldn't believe the guy's attitude. He was like a typical villain. Not to mention, his outfit seemed copied.

"We'll see about that," Robin said firmly. "Last I remember, you weren't very dangerous."

"You had your butt handed to you!" Beast Boy added, grinning.

"Yeah, well, you won't be successful this time!" Control Freak insisted. "I have the ultimate power in my hands!" He snickered at them and waved his bag around, gloating at the Titans. "It's even better than the last invention!"

"A rifle and a bag of goodies. I can't see why that's better than the other one you were using before," Cyborg said. "We've seen worse."

"Enough talking," Robin said, taking out his long staff. "We don't know if anybody needs help in there and so don't have luxury of wasting time. Titans, go!"

Danny watched as the Titans took on Control Freak. The guy had legs, Danny would give him that much. But his aim with the rifle was atrocious, rivaling that of Jack Fenton's. Although in his dad's defense, it was improving.

Speaking of improving, it seemed like Control Freak was missing on purpose. He was aiming randomly at spots on the ground, although Danny couldn't tell if the Titans were seeing the same thing. On the other hand, the Titans were having terrible luck when it came to nailing Control Freak. Everything they threw at him was missing, something Danny found odd.

'But what can I do? They obviously know that guy better than I do. Besides, they're willing to leave the ghosts to me; I should do the same when it comes to their enemies.' Danny chewed his lips, debating. He couldn't stand just sitting around and doing nothing. He'd had enough of that during the brief time he was human and the Masters' Blasters had done everything.

Then he remembered that Robin had said there could be people inside that store that needed help. Help that the Titans would be unable to provide at the moment. But he could help.

'If they're busy fighting that guy, I'll try and help in there.' Danny crept forward, intending on dashing out and running into the shop. 'I need to get in there.'

Then, all of a sudden, he was. It was lucky that he hadn't been standing because otherwise he would've fallen to the carpeted floor.

'Whoa.' Danny got to his knees, looking at the darkly painted store. It was empty and a complete wreck. DVDs and videos were everywhere; the racks where they had been lay on their sides in places where they shouldn't have been. One was even stuck halfway through the ceiling, something Danny didn't get in his confusion.

He shook his head, trying to clear it from the disorientation that his sudden displacement had caused. 'Did I just teleport without meaning to?' He checked to see if he was a ghost. Nope, still human. 'That's never happened before.'

Danny heard a moan coming from his right. Alarmed, he turned to find an elderly man lying by the store counter. He had a stomach wound that was bleeding profusely.

"Crud!" Danny scrambled over to him. "Are you okay? No, wait, you're bleeding from your stomach so of course you're not okay! What do I do, what do I do?" He was babbling.

Panicking and trying to get the babbling under control, Danny did the first thing he could think of. He looked for a first aid kit. He found one in a drawer under the cash register and jumped over the counter, landing next to the man and unlocking the kit in one movement. He unpacked the kit, trying to find the white gauzes that he knew would help stem the bleeding. Once he had them unwrapped he began to apply pressure to the wound, remembering that they always did that in the movies.

Danny tried to think of what he could do next. 'I can't treat this guy by myself. But I can't leave him here either. He'll die.' He could only see one solution. 'Do I bring him to a hospital?'

"Where's the dog?"

"Huh?" Danny looked down to see that his patient was awake. "Dog?"

"There was a dog," the man said hoarsely, his face as white as a sheet. "In a jacket. Is it gone?"

Even though Danny didn't fully understand what the man was getting at, he did the natural thing: lying. "It's gone. Don't worry; I'll get you help."

His mind made up, Danny grabbed hold of the man, about to go ghost and teleport to the hospital. But as soon as the intention of teleporting there entered his mind, he was in the middle of the ER, stunning and blinding almost everybody present with the blinding flash of green light. A nurse accidentally poked a patient in the shoulder with the needle she was brandishing.

Danny swallowed heavily, ignoring the instinct to flee. "Hi. I've got a guy with a gunshot wound here." He laid him on an empty bed, giving the old man's hand a reassuring squeeze. "Okay…" There was no reaction other than the thumb sucking of a nearby toddler who hadn't been bothered by Danny's miraculous teleportation. "I'll be going now."

'Back to where I came from.' Danny took a step back, intending on exiting the ER when he found himself back in the store he'd just left a minute ago. He fell over backwards, trying to get his bearings. "Whoa. Head rush."

After shaking his head a couple of times and getting to his feet, Danny ran out of the store, turning ghost and feeling an explosive rush of power as he did. When outside, he saw something that made sense of what the old man had said.

'Duh. Dog in jacket. Who else could it be?'

"Titans, go!"

As if rehearsed, they all sprang forward to engage Control Freak. Beast Boy was first, having morphed into a cheetah. Unfortunately for the green changeling, Control Freak jumped aside at the last moment and ran off, the Titans on his tail.

Starfire tried to hit him with starbolts but they kept missing their mark. Cyborg was doing the same with his sonic cannon. Raven and Robin were holding back. Raven because she felt like it and Robin because he wasn't close enough. Beast Boy was missing, having vanished after first missing his target.

On Control Freak's end, he was having bad luck with his rifle. His shots peppered the ground at the Titans' feet, nowhere close to their intended targets.

Just as Control Freak reached the corner, Beast Boy pounced from the side. In his lion form he should have overcome the villain easily. But for some reason, he ended up hitting the traffic light post instead, transforming back once hitting the ground. Stars swirled above his head and he didn't get up as Control Freak ran down the street where Beast Boy had hidden.

"It's like he's got some sort of force field around him!" Cyborg cried, running around the corner with Robin.

The two stopped running when they saw Control Freak had stopped. He was holding a DVD up in the air. Some sort of device was on his wrist.

"You wonder why nothing can hit me? It is because of this!" The device on his wrist glinted in the sun. "It imitates the powers of any TV superhero/villain that I have in my hand!"

"But that's just a DVD," Raven said.

Beast Boy caught up with them, still looking kind of woozy. "Not just any DVD!" He shook his head, clearing it from the stars that were still in his eyes before saying, "That's X-Men!"

"That's Jean Grey's power then," Cyborg said. "This isn't going to be easy."

"Got that right!" Control Freak crowed. "I'm gonna—" A loud ferocious growl cut him off, his face appearing extremely confused.

The Titans looked at Beast Boy, who just shrugged. "That wasn't me."

Starfire started, "Then who—"

Simultaneously with another growl, the Titans saw a large wolf in a hoodie and pants behind Control Freak. Its fur was black, the eyes a solid green, and it was glowing. On top of all that, it was salivating.

"Stop that growling!" Control Freak demanded, not having noticed the wolf. "Or I'll laser beam you all!"

"I would recommend that you don't move," Robin said.

"Why?" Control Freak wasn't listening.

"Because of that thing behind you," Beast Boy supplied.

"I'm not falling for that trick!" Control Freak sneered. "Do I look stupid?"

"I'm going to refrain from answering that," Raven said.

Beast Boy saw the strange wolf getting ready to pounce. Remembering the force field around Control Freak, Beast Boy decided to try and help.

"Uh…" Everyone but the wolf looked at him. "Boo!" He instantaneously morphed into a green copy of the wolf that was standing behind Control Freak and howled loudly.

This shocked and scared Control Freak so much that he dropped the DVD; his bag slid down on his arm. The wolf pounced then, landing right on top of his enemy, who was screaming like a girl. Control Freak had lost the rest of his DVDs and videos, meaning that he would no longer be able steal powers from TV heroes/villains. Much to the Titans' surprise, the two melted through the ground.

"Whoa!" Cyborg shouted. He didn't know what to address first: Beast Boy or the fact that the wolf had phased through the ground with Control Freak. He chose the easier one. "Beast Boy!"

The changeling morphed back, grinning. "That was fun."

"Great." Robin turned to his friends. "Now we have absolutely no idea where they are."

There was a bloodcurdling scream at that moment, startling all of them. It was followed by another and this time they followed the sound back to the original scene. What they saw stopped them in their tracks.

"Easy, Wulf, easy!" Danny Phantom was trying to calm the wolf down, which was standing on two legs and pinning Control Freak to the wall like a human would.

The animal said something nobody could catch but Danny.

"I know, Wulf. But it's gone now, right?" Danny was smiling rather nervously, laying a hand on the wolf's – Wulf's – burly arm. "I think you should probably drop the guy. He's fainted from fright."

It was true. Control Freak was foaming at the mouth and only the whites of his eyes showed.

On Danny's suggestion, Wulf dropped him, letting Control Freak lie at his feet.

Danny relaxed, smiling at his friend. "Thanks. It's great seeing you again."

Wulf gave Danny a huge bear hug, making all the Titans' jaws hit the floor.

"You know him?" Robin asked, disbelief coloring his tone.

Danny pulled away from Wulf, rubbing his back. "Oh yeah. We go way back. Which is about two years to be honest."

"Friends," Wulf said in a guttural voice, grinning.

"Friends," Danny agreed. He looked at Control Freak. "What are you guys going to do with him?"

"Let the police handle him," Robin answered.

Danny frowned slightly. "How often would you say you guys face your enemies?"

"Pretty often. We see the same faces," Cyborg said. "Why?"

"Shouldn't the police be able to keep these guys locked up?" Danny nudged Control Freak with a boot. "I mean, this guy is human. It can't be that hard."

"He does have a point," Starfire said.

"We'll look into it," was all Robin said. "They do their best."

"Kaj ĉu vi far la laboro," Wulf said, confusing everybody but Danny, who just nodded. ("And have you guys do all the work.")

"What did he say?" Robin demanded.

"Just that you guys do all the work. But I can see the point when it comes to guys like the Puppet King."

Wulf said something unintelligible. Again, only Danny seemed capable of understanding.

"Long story," Danny said. He bent down and slid something off Control Freak's wrist. Getting up, he showed the Titans the strange device. "Is this important? A light on it was blinking."

Cyborg took it from him. "Almost forgot about that. I'll have a look into it to see how it works."

"Do you think you can make us something like that?" Beast Boy asked eagerly. "That would be totally cool!"

Danny and Wulf had question marks floating over their heads.

"No, Beast Boy," Robin said firmly. "We're going to lock that thing up."

"I don't get it," Danny said, confused.

"You don't want to know," Raven told him. "Trust me."

Control Freak stirred then. When no one reacted he began to sneak away. Wulf stepped on his back, stopping him in his tracks.

"The police coming soon?" Danny asked. "Wulf isn't very happy with the guy."

Wulf snarled angrily, punctuating Danny's point.

Control Freak passed out again.

They were back in the tower, having been relieved of Control Freak. There had been a small transportation issue but Danny soon had it resolved by flying back with Wulf. He'd had to go extra slow, although he said nothing and the other ghost didn't notice.

In the living room, Wulf immediately curled up on the couch, sighing loudly.

Danny smiled, transforming back. He was startled by how different he felt. It was a lot like how he'd felt during the first few days after his accident and he adjusted to having a ghost half.

Shaking the shock off, Danny walked over to the couch and sat on the back rest right next to Wulf.

"How's Walker doing?" Danny asked Wulf. "I haven't seen him since I helped with rebuilding his prison."

Wulf got up then, facing Danny as he did so. "Walker missing."

Danny sat up straighter at that. He swung his legs around and slid down to sit on the couch next to Wulf. "What do you mean?" He was completely serious.

"Is something wrong?" Robin asked, coming back from wherever he had been.

"Wait," Raven told him, standing on Wulf's other side behind the couch.

The other three joined them as Danny listened to Wulf speak in a strange language. He was nodding, a small frown on his face as he used his limited knowledge of Esperanto.

"Pli_anto piedir kaj lia malliberejo havas malaperitan de la Fantomo Zono," Wulf said. "Ili estis iun tagon sed irita la sekvontan. ili ne estas la unua. Aliaj fantomoj ankaŭ malaperis." ("Walker and his prison have vanished from the Ghost Zone. They were there one day but gone the next. They're not the first. Other ghosts have also disappeared.")

"What about you?" Danny asked.

"Mi trovis min tie ĉi kvar antaŭ kelkaj tagoj ..ite ensuĉiĝ en ..n portalo. Mi estis ten kaŝa ĝis Mi vidis la malbonodoran iun rigardanta trompema." ("I found myself here four days ago after being sucked into a portal. I was keeping hidden until I saw the smelly one looking shifty.")

"Smelly one?"

"He might mean Control Freak," Beast Boy suggested, hanging over the couch beside Danny. "He does kind of stink."

Danny nodded. "Go on."

"Mi iris en post li. Li debatis mian kapuĉon en la interbatiĝo kaj pafvund mi." Wulf touched his chest.

"He was shot?" Beast Boy dashed in front of Wulf, inspecting him. "But he seems fine."

"Ghosts heal quickly," Danny said, rather confused. "You understand Esperanto?"

"That's Esperanto?" Cyborg asked just as Beast Boy said, "A little. I tried getting Cyborg to learn it with me but he kept saying it's a dead language like Latin."

Cyborg seemed disgruntled, probably because he had been proven wrong.

"He understands our language, does he not?" Starfire inquired.

"Yeah. I don't quite understand how that works since he can't really speak English but anyway…" Danny shrugged. "We can understand each other so it doesn't matter. Ĝusta, Wulf?" he asked Wulf, grinning. ("Right, Wulf?")

"Right," Wulf replied in English.

"So, getting back to where we were, that's when I saw you, right?"

Wulf nodded; he looked at Beast Boy. "Mi dankas vin pro la helpo." ("Thank you for the help.")

Beast Boy beamed. "Ne probleme." ("No problem.")

Robin cut in then. "All right; enough of the foreign language. Danny, give us something we can work with. What's the story?"

Danny repeated everything Wulf had told him, adding, "That's pretty much exactly what happened to me."

"We're talking about an inter-dimensional portal then," Raven said. "Is that common where you live?"

"Only between the Ghost Zone and my world," Danny said. "They're so closely linked that my parents built a portal accessing it. Along with that there are a ton of natural portals." He thought for a moment. "It's been going on for a while, even in my world."

"Portalo de la Fantomo Zono malferm kaj alia aliĝita al ĝi. Bariloj kaj meblo(j) estis ensuĉiĝ," Wulf said. ("A portal from the Ghost Zone opened up and another joined it. Fences and furniture were sucked in.")

"That explains Tucker's furniture thieves," Danny muttered, mystifying those who heard him. Louder: "But why do these portals suck things in? Normally you actually have to fly into one in order to go anywhere."

"From what I know, inter-dimensional portals take a lot of energy to open, maintain, and close," Raven said. "If somebody had the potential to transcend dimensions but no knowledge of how to control it, it's possible that portals would keep opening after the initial one was opened. The suctioning comes from the desire for energy. If not enough energy is taken, the portals will keep opening until enough is."

"What is enough energy?" Danny asked. "Ghosts have a lot."

"Comparable to an atomic bomb…" Raven paused, thinking for a moment. "But I think it's less. That book didn't have very reliable information when it came to numbers."

"Do ghosts have that much power?" Robin sounded wary.

Danny thought for a moment. His parents hadn't said much on the matter so he wasn't sure. They were in the middle of making something to measure how much power a ghost had but so far all attempts had failed. One of their tries had even suggested that Danny was a baby ghost and should be put to death unless something horrible should happen as a result. Danny had fried that invention with a ghost ray, much to the dismay of Tucker, who had wanted to keep it for fun.

Wulf answered for Danny. "Plej ne. Nur malgranda plimulto havas ke kvanto de potenco. Sed egale tiame male havas tiom." ("Most don't. Only a small majority have that amount of power. But even then they don't have that much.")

Danny translated for the others, slightly relieved. He hadn't wanted an answer that would put him in a bad light. Robin was already mistrustful, even though he had said he would work on it.

"What do you think?" Cyborg asked Danny.

"We don't have a way to close the portals then," Danny said slowly. "Ghosts aren't enough and it's already taken a lot of them."

"Duonofantomoj estas la plej potenca. Ili, kaj egale Pario Malluma, ..us sufiĉa energio fermi portalo kiel tiu, kiun Via amiko priparol. Mi pensas ke ili havas fermitan hodiaŭ," Wulf said. ("Half-ghosts are the most powerful. They, and even Pariah Dark, would have enough energy to close a portal like the one your friend speaks of. I think that they have closed now.")

Danny swallowed heavily, asking what seemed like a stupid question. "Why?"

"Vi trapas," Wulf said. "Kaj mia ligo mia hejmo diras al mi ke." ("You passed through. And my link to my home tells me that.")

Danny decided not to press for details about the link. It sounded complicated. What he didn't like hearing was how much power he possessed. And his future self had already been so powerful.

'Stop. Don't think about him.' Danny drew his hand into a fist. He gave the waiting Titans Wulf's explanation. Robin was as still as a statue by the time Danny had finished, exactly the reaction the halfa had been dreading.

"That's good news, isn't it?" Beast Boy said once Danny concluded his speech. "Raven has the details about these portals and can help. She once opened a portal 5,000 years into the past to get Cyborg back one time. We can easily get you guys back."

Danny looked at Raven. "Can you really?"

"Theoretically, I could," Raven said. "But I have to do some more research first. The time portal was into our past; this is one into a whole different dimension and one that I'm not linked to."

"You've done one of those, too!" Beast Boy blurted.

Raven turned a cold glare on him, freezing him in his spot. She wasn't ready to tell Danny that. Or even talk about it in general. "It'll take time," she repeated, still with that ice cold glare.

Danny found it creepy. 'Whoa. Sam has got nothing on that glare.'

"Not that simple," Wulf said, drawing everybody's attention.

"What do you mean?" Starfire inquired. "Raven has already agreed to help. I am also willing to help, even though it saddens me to say goodbye to a friend."

Wulf spoke to Danny, speaking so quickly that Danny had trouble understanding it all. When he finally processed everything it didn't sound good at all.

"Well?" Cyborg pressed after a short moment. He looked at Robin, who was still mute. The half-robot frowned worriedly, not liking what it bode.

Danny swallowed as he said, "There was somebody talking to Walker before he disappeared. Or it might have been threatening. Either way, the ghost who overheard said that person wanted Walker to do something. Something that didn't make much sense."

"To you or the ghost?" Cyborg asked instantly.

Danny didn't think how weird it was that Cyborg was asking the questions and not Robin. He was too preoccupied. "The ghost. But…that's not all. The ghost saw what it was." Danny took another moment to speak. "It was a green mist. A mist that was shaped almost like a person. And the eyes…" Danny remembered the Puppet King's eyes. "They were exactly like the Puppet King's…"

"Are you serious?" Cyborg demanded. This time he stepped on Robin's foot; the black-haired boy shuffled away, scowling blackly.

"Completely. Wulf said that the ghost wouldn't stop ranting about them."

"Which means what?" Raven almost didn't want to hear the answer.

"They were evil. Pure evil."

Please excuse my Esperanto. That was the best the translator I used could come up with.

xbusterz: I'm not quite sure what you're talking about here... Do you mean something like Skulker's armor? Ha ha. I think you're right about Joker; it's just that the vat of chemicals didn't kill him so he's still alive.

Random Flyer: Thanks! Something like what you suggested will happen later. ;)
