An Incredible Life
A Danny Phantom/The Incredibles crossover
AN: Okay, I know that I've taken a very long while updating, but I have reasons! They are:
1) Life got in the way
2) School
3) I completely forgot about this
4) My muse is a cheeky f*cker by bouncing between about five different stories that I'm currently writing, including an original story, yet only publishing two (the ones I have up). Because of this, I'm basically going to take several stories at once, and publishing them on this website while my GCSEs are nearing... (I'm so screwed in general)
5) It is a bitch and a half trying to edit on iPads. Seriously...
Also, VERY IMPORTANT AN AT THE BOTTOM!

The normal stuff

Dani's POV:
"Urrrrrr..." I groaned, as I slowly opened my eyes, revealing white walls, and people in white coats rushing around me. Oh sh... The GiW found me... Wait a minute...
I could hear their frenzied voices around me, obviously they cared about me. Okay, NOT the GiW then... Where the hell am I then?
"Where am I?" I questioned in a whisper. "What the hell happened?" All sound, apart from the life monitors, stopped as the people stopped and stared at me for a good five minutes. I instantly panicked.
"What?! Why're you staring at me like that?! Where the hell am I!?" I shouted, panic evident in my voice. I tried to sit up, but for some reason I was held down by restraints. I began to struggle against them, with most of my strength (I do have superhuman strength thanks to my ghost half you know?). I glared at them. "And why the hell do I have restraints?!"
"H-h-h-how?!" One of the men stuttered, staring at me while pointing a shaking finger. "Y-your pulse! Its too low for you to even be conscious!"
I felt my eyes widen at the little nugget of information. Oh damn, now they know I'm not normal! Think Dani, THINK! What to say, what to say! Ummmmmm...
"Wh-wh-wha? How?! But, but, how?" Wow, I'm really good at acting. One of the women in the room gave the man a sour look and she comfortingly placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Listen, Danielle," I looked at her in shock when she said my full name. No-one says my full name apart from the fruitloop and the wannabes working with him. "you're in the hospital. Your foster parents and some friends of yours are waiting outside, so that's how we know your name. Do you remember anything that happened yesterday?"
I furrowed my eyebrows as I tried to think back. "Urrrrr, I remember beating Dash at Doomed, then going to the mall with Mum and Dad."
My head started to hurt with thinking too much, but I still continued to think back."And then... that guy in yellow and orange. He wanted to do something bad, and the superheroes here hadn't turned up yet. So I decided to stall him before he did lasting damage." I smirked then and I looked at the woman, putting an appropriate amount of worry and fear in my eyes. "Where's my Mom and Dad? Can I see them?"
"Sure." One of them said, and walked out. I leaned back into the gurney, thinking. What the hell was that feeling in my heart after I was electrocuted? Could something have happened to my ghost core? Or has my ghost form died or something? I quickly sensed inside of me. I could still feel my ghost core, but it felt different somehow. Okay, I'm still half-ghost, but why and how is my core different? Has my ghost form changed? Or have I got another power? If I have, it probably has something to do with electricity, considering electricity had something to do with the change. And what the hell did that doctor mean by friends? I've only been here a day!
I was shook out of my thoughts when the door opened again. Okay, time to who these friends are.
LINE BREAK
Well damn, they know I'm different now. Stupid hospitals. As soon as Mom, Dad, and the Parrs (apparently that's what the doctor meant as friends) walked in, they immediately heard my heart beat on the monitor thing. They obviously panicked. It took about twenty minutes to calm them down and say that my heart beat is normally like that, and that I have no idea why my heart was like that (which was a lie, I know why, I'm half-dead, that's fricking why). We talked for a while, before I realised something.
"Mom, do I still have to go to school tomorrow?" I swear all of time froze then at my question, then restarted then everyone within hearing distance began to chuckle and snigger. I was so confused. "What?"
Mum just stared at me. "if you get discharged today, then yes." I nodded then. I understood that. To be honest, I can't wait! It'll be my first time in school. Hopefully, I'd get a good friend or two. I'm just glad Dash is in my grade, at least I know somebody there. I still complained about staying here though.
"But Mo-om, I'm fine! Look!" I exclaimed, proving my point by expertly twisting my hands out of the restraints, and untying the ones at my feet, then leaping off the gurney, ripping off the heart monitor thing and some tubes, and giving Mom and Dad a hug. I twirled in front of Mom and crossed my arms in front of her. "See?"
Everyone looked at me in astonishment. "What?" I asked.
"How exactly are you okay!?" Mrs. Parr asked. "You were shocked by about a thousand volts of electricity!"
I simply replied saying "A thousand? I've had worse." After that, everyone was silent. "What? I don't want any sympathy, I've dealt with it and I've accepted it. Nothing can change it, so..."
"It's okay." Mum said, standing up. "We're just getting used to a new family member. Helen, Bob, Lucius, lets go see if we can get Dani discharged."
They quickly nodded, glancing at Dash. Wha? Violet then intervened, giving a sly smirk to Dash. "Actually, I'll go with you too."
I raised my eyebrow at them. I walked over to Dash, confusion no doubt evident on my face, while he had disbelief and anger on his. I nudged him and asked "What's going on?".
"Huh? Oh, I, urrr, I have no idea, no idea at all." he replied, a light blush on his face. Why is he blushing? I giggled at his face. He smiled. Ahhhh, he can look really cute at times. Wait, cute? Damn, I have a crush on him. Why didn't I notice before?! Stupid Danny cluelessness genetics. AND I bet he doesn't feel the same way...
"Okay." I replied as I sat back down on the gurney, while he sat on one of the chairs near me.
We made idle chatter, waiting for the awkwardness to pass, which was actually enjoyable, since I do have a crush on him... God damn it, help me... But then he asked me about my parents... and I had no idea why, but I blurted out most of the truth...
I stuck with the story I gave my parents prior, but added a small tidbit of an abusive father. As for me being hidden, I simply said that my family didn't and still don't know I even exist thanks to the fruit loop, and I also added that the only person who knows about me is my cousin, and I can't really go to him. That would be the first place that he would look for me after all.
When Dash told me that the Electro-nutjob was sent by Vlad, I scoffed. Of course he would do that. The crazy old bastard would do anything possible to get me back, for his perfect son! But I then realised, he'll send a GHOST next! To someplace that doesn't have any ecto-weaponry! I quickly mentioned that to Dash, and that ecto-weaponry would need to be purchased as soon as possible. You can't fight a ghost through human means, it's practically suicide!
Dash was quick to erasure me that no-one would touch me, let alone hurt me if he had anything to do with it. I responded saying that I wouldn't give up without a fight anyway. But then he began to question me about what I meant when I said I had been though worse earlier. I made a brief mention about me being under about five hundred volts of electricity. My ghostly endurance being the reason why I'm still alive, rather than me being a fried corpse covered in charcoal and sizzling flesh. And I don't even know why, but I talked to him about Vlad, even if it was brief. (I simply said his name. Nothing else.)
I had a stupid smile after that conversation with Dash, even if I told him about Vlad. I think it's because he cares. But, does this mean that he likes me? Can he like me though, I mean, I'm a freak who wasn't even born! How can he like me?
My inner musings were cut short when I felt electricity running down my spine. That must be what happened... My ghost core changed from an ice core to an electric core... Wait how is that even possible? Add that to the mental list I have to ask Clockwork about.
"Dani, what's wrong?" Dash asked, placing a hand on my shoulder.
"I have a feeling the fruitloop sent a ghost, and said ghost has just arrived." I answered, beginning to walk towards the door, eyes darting all around the room.
"What? How?" Dash asked, rushing next to me.
"Call it a spidey sense of a sort..." I started. "I get aler-"
Then the wall in front of me exploded and I was trapped in a glowing net. "HEY!" I exclaimed, tugging at the ropes. "What gives!?"
"DANI!"
Dash's POV
I was waiting for Dani to calm everyone down after they worried about her blood pressure and other stuff... I was worried, but she looked absolutely fine for crying out loud! But I was shocked when she said that she had suffered worse. Bloody hell, what has she been through?
However, when everyone left me and Dani alone, I knew they caught onto my crush on her, I had been acting differently around her... After our conversation, I knew she liked me as well. I was about to confess that I have a crush on her when she suddenly stiffened.
"Dani, what's wrong?" I asked, concerned.
"I have a feeling Dad sent a ghost, and said ghost has just arrived." she answered me, beginning to walk towards the door, her beautiful blue eyes darting all around the room.
"What? How?" I exclaimed, rushing next to her.
"Call it a spidey sense of a sort..." she began. "I get aler-"
Then the wall in front of her exploded and I heard her exclamation of surprise as she was trapped in a very weird-looking net.
"DANI!" I screamed, running at a supernatural speed towards her. I skid on my knees next to her, untying the net holding her down. She looked confused. "What? How did you..." She trailed off when a being with electric green eyes and matching hair came to view. His body looked like it was made out of pure mechanics, and he glowed with malevolence (please don't ask how I know that word, I don't even know). Apparently Dani knew him, as she literally growled. "Skulker... This is the twenty-frickin'-fourth time I've run into you... Why are you here, under to fruitloops command, or simply because you're hunting me?"
"Whelpette, this time Masters asked me to hunt you. I will take great pleasure hanging your pelt on my wall."
I suppressed a grimace at that description. I looked at Dani. "Do I even want to know?"
She looked at me with a small smile. "What's the point? You'll find out in about ten seconds."
I looked back at the man as he continued. "And I will catch you, for I am Skulker! The Ghost Zone's Greatest Hunter!" Ah, so that's who he is.
"Self-proclaimed greatest hunter, Skulker." came Dani's retort. "You can't even catch me! And I'm twelve."
I chuckled at that. It did seem very demeaning... (Another word I have no idea how I know)
"Shut it Ghost Child. I will catch you this time!" Ghost Child?
"I don't think so." she replied, as she struggled against the net, which I just managed to undo. She shrugged the ropes off her, giving me a grateful smile. I smiled back. I then asked her, "Well, how do you deal with this guy?"
She looked at me and asked for the time. Confused, I looked at my watch and said "It's 3:45."
"We need to keep him busy for 15 minutes." she said.
"What happened in 15 minutes?" I asked.
"One time my cousin met this idiot, one of his friends had his PDA stolen and he hardwired it into his programming. However, it had a timetable on it. Now, whatever the timetable says, he has to do it. At four, he'll have to dash off somewhere to do something else." She answered with a grin. "But now he have to keep him distracted." She paused and and had a contemplative look on her face as she gave a quick glance around the partially-demolished room. A 'Eureka' look covered her face. "The debris!"
We both ran forward (me at normal speed) and picked some debris up. We then separated and threw the rocks at him. It worked until he glowed blue and the rocks passed right through him. Dani then ran to me and grabbed my arm, pulling me away from him. We both then ran into an abandoned corridor. It seemed the entire hospital had been evacuated when the wall exploded. She paused to catch her breath. I heard her mumble under her breath. "If only we had some ecto-weapons... They would hurt ghosts when they turn blue. But never mind that, how the hell did you run so fast?"
"Wh-What do you mean?" I stuttered. She sighed. "It's your secret thing isn't it?" I nodded. "Then I can't pry... Damn it."
I was about to laugh when the corridor began to quake. "Oh no..." I whispered. The building was going to come down on us, and even I'm not fast enough to get us both out. I decided to confess right then if I was going to die. "Dani, I have something to tell you and I completely understand if you don't feel the same way. I would have told you differently, but we're kinda in a tough spot here" I looked at her confused and panicked face. A small smile tugged my lips as I saw her face. "Dani, I've had a crush on you ever since I saw you, but I had no idea till now." Then the ceiling came down... then a bright flash of light came from Dani's direction and a weird tingly feeling came over me as I was lifted off my feet.
"Wha?..." I looked all around me. What happened? I heard a small, echo-y and familiar giggle come from above me. I looked up at neon-green eyes and white hair. "Dani?"
She nodded. "H-How?" I asked when I saw Skulker again. I knew she saw him as well when she said "I'll answer any question you have in a minute." She set me on the ground when her hands began to glow, one with yellow energy, the other with green. "Why don't you leave me alone! I've blasted you, I've thrown you, he'll I've even ripped you out of that stupid mechanical suit of yours and played frisking tennis with you. Now, why don't you get LOST!" she screamed as she thrust her hands in front of her. A green and yellow beam of energy hit the ghost dead on and he flew off with his suit sparking dangerously. I set down next to me and two light blue rings appeared around her waist and split, one going up, one going down, transforming her into the Dani I thought I knew, the one with black hair and blue eyes.
She sauntered up to me before quickly giving me a small peck on the cheek, before we both blushed furiously. "By the way, I have a crush on you too." she timidly informed me. I smiled like a goof when I heard that. She likes me. She likes me. I can't believe she actually likes me... I repeated in my head. But my smile faded when a look of horror covered her face as she looked behind me. Confused, I turned around before blood drained from my face and my eyes widened.
I sheepishly said "Hi, Mom...Dad...Sis..." while she timidly said as well "Hi Mom... Hi Dad..."
Now for the super important AN. I'm co-writing a story with a very good friend of mine by the name of Charmedwho20. She currently has a Charmed and Harry Potter crossover up, and going fairly well. Anyway, the story we're writing is a Pokemon and Charmed crossover. Her sister challenged Cw20 to do this crossover, and I volunteered to bring some Pokemon expertise to it, since I know nothing about Charmed. We may have a name for it as well! Thanks! Also, the story is going to be on her account.
R&R pls! Reviews give me inspiration, and would lead me to update quicker! Bye!
