"Dang it dad." I snapped, "I thought you were actually just giving me a gun to shoot the crud out of random things with." My dad had just shown me his secret life: a ghost studier/hunter. He had offered me a Ecto-Blaster. I took the bait, now I was trapped doing his bidding.

"Dani..." Vlad softly said, "I am giving you the gun to, 'shoot the crud out of random things'" Vlad walked over to his computer and typed in a few things. He continued, "I'm requesting you to hunt ghosts for me. I am sooo busy nowadays with random people calling me asking to support their company and other stuff that I have to attend to."

I didn't like it. Not one bit.

"So you are going to send a 12 year old girl out to the big city to shoot ghosts? Doesn't that sound like a way for me to be arrested?" He looked over at me. "Yes, but I have a backup plan for that." He pulled up a file of a ghost. Although the file picture was extremely distorted, I figured what it did. "Volt, huh?" I asked, "You want me to take down an electrical ghost? Sounds...hard."

Vlad smirked. "No, Dani...Volt is what you would call...errrrr...a stupid ghost, however he is powerful. Since you only have that gun, you will have to use your brains to fight him, not strengh."

I looked at my arms. For being a girl, I was awfully strong.

"Dad, do you have some sort of outfit I could wear? You know, to hide my identity?" Vlad smirked again. "Trying to be a superhero now, are we?" He walked over to a closet type door and pulled out a jump suit. "Will this do?" He asked. I grabbed it and examined it.

The suit was what any super hero costume would be like. It was flexible and came in parts. The Top was one third black and the rest was white. The middle of the outfit was bare so that it would reveal my lower torso. The pants were black and on the edge made a white 'u' shape. The boots were also white. A black symbwaw was on the white part of the top. There was also gloves that countered the color of the sleeve it was on. One black, one white.

"What, no mask?" I jokingly said.

"When wearing this, you'll be known as Danielle Phantom, the teen ghost hunter from Wisconsin. Let no one know who you really are."

"So that's what the symbol stands for? Dani Phantom?" Vlad shook his head. "Danielle, not Dani." He told me.

"It's my name, I should get a say so." I told him and I walked out of the lab to go practice with my new toy.
