Clockwork appeared out of a swirly green portal. "Come I have prepared for this." As he led Dan through his lair.
They walked in what essentially was a make shift hospital room. Dan lied Ellie down on a bed. Clockwork connected her up to a monitor. Reading her vitals Clockwork frowned at the fluctuations in her ghost core.
"Dan I'm going to need you to do something for me.." Clockwork started to say.
"What?!" Dan barked out as as he floated above the room in a sitting position.
"I need you to bring Danny, here" Clockwork stated waiting for his response.
"Why would I do that?" Dan asked snippy.
"Simple, you care about Ellie." Was Clockwork's response
"No, I don't. What makes you think that!" Dan exclaimed.
At that Clockwork showed Dan the exact time after the fight between them. Dan held Ellie in his arms and walked into her lair. Dan lied Ellie down on her bed and rummaged through her house til he finally found it.
The first aid kit in the closet adjacent to the bathroom. He grabbed it and walked into Ellie's room and got to work. Dan accessed the damage to her arm and saw all that was needed was a splint. He quickly set up trying to not agrivate her wound any further.
After that was done he applied a healing agent to her cuts and bruises. Lastly he treated her burns. Later in the day he removed all evidence of his help he didn't want her thinking he cared. It was best that Ellie believed she healed on her own.
"There was no need for you to do that you know as well as I do that she would heal on her own it just would of took longer than a day." Clockwork stated.
Dan frowned and grumbled as he found no good retort. " Fine but don't expect him to come here without any bruises and a terrified look on his face."
Clockwork smiled and opened a portal to Danny's current location. Dan walked in intangible and invisible.
He grabbed Danny and phased him through his room and covered his mouth so he couldn't scream for help.
Danny transformed and kicked his attacker and faced them only to look terrified and try to mask it.
"You don't scare me my timeline has changed from yours too much for you to be a possibility!" Danny exclaimed triumphant.
"Is it that so? Then I guess you won't mind if I do this!" Dan unleashed scorching fire upon his beloved home.
Causing Danny to stare wide in shock unable to get his bearings. Dan grabbed Danny and pulled him through the portal.
Dan let him go causing Danny to look around and spot Ellie hooked up to machines"What did you do to her?!" Danny roared in fury however before another fight could break out Clockwork appeared.
"Calm damn Danny Dan has done nothing wrong since he escaped the confines of the thermos." Clockwork stated plainly.
"But he set fire to my home doesn't that qualify?!" Danny asked appalled.
"That was merely an illusion" Clockwork replied and showed him his family and home perfectly fine.
"Yeah, weakling I've done nothing wrong." Dan repeated hitting a sore spot in Danny's reasoning.
Danny was shocked to silence. Clockwork frowned "Now to the matters at hand Dani now named Ellie is in danger of dying"
"But she's a ghost ghosts can't die can they?" Danny asked feeling tense.
"Allow me to explain her ghost core has just awakened and is growing to strong for her human body to handle either she fades from existence or becomes a full ghost." Clockwork explained.
"if that's true how come that hasn't happened to me?" Danny questioned.
"Simple Ellie ghost powers have been with her since birth which means their more closely linked than yours both halves are dependent on each other to function. For example if she separated her two halves using the ghost catcher only one would posses her mind while the other would be mindless relying on instinct." Clockwork explained his body shifting through ages as he talked.
Dan through all this was floating near Ellie's side taking in the information. "Couldn't you just tell us what happens in the future and be done with it!" Dan exclaimed in annoyance.
"I could however I would have no idea which timeline is this one.You see this event is happening in multiple timelines with no differences. It's only after this event does the timelines began to show their own outcome." Clockwork explained once more.
All of sudden Ellie's heartbeat slowed down beating ever minute as opposed to seconds.Danny was right there by her side squeezing her hand.
While Dan looked down on her from above currently floating high enough that his head touched the ceiling.
Her skin was so pale you could see through her. The white of the bed underneath her was extremely jarring. Was this it? Would she fade away hardly having impacted the world at only a couple of months old.
As if hearing everyone's doubts the whole room filled with blinding electricity which caused all the room inhabitants to shield their eyes.
When they looked down at Ellie's form she was solid and possessed green skin similar to Dan and freckles across her cheeks and body. If you looked closely you could see she had pointed ears. Her hair was even whiter than Danny's and her hair were pulled into low pig tails. Her bangs remained the same.
Her clothes was a simple mix between both her different forms clothes. A long top black and white that was reminiscent to her old ghost form top that covered most of her hands and showed her belly.
Her legs sported a black skort with ripped white leggings. Her feet were covered in mint shoes.
