Disclaimer: I own nothing except the idea, I don't know who owns Danny Phantom, if there are resemblances to other stories they will either be credited or it is unintentional. There may be crossovers with DC, Marvel, Teen Titans, Bleach so on, I don't own them either, they'll mostly be one shot minor ones, except a few like Tony Stark from Ironman, and Teen Titans, which will stick around.
Note: Sorry this'll take a while to go up this is a slow, introduction part, so I'm not as motivated as I will be at other points later.

"What is love"-speech
'Baby don't hurt me'-thought
(In story author notes)
Dani woke up the next morning feeling nice, if slightly sad. She had been feeling nice since she got here, but her Pops and Uncle Rubix would be gone for a few days hunting her … donor? Well if she came back she'd be a mother, if she didn't she'd be a donor that her Pops would probably make disappear. That thought bothered her less than she thought it should but whatever, she was a Phantom.
Shrugging this off she quickly washed herself off, got clothed and walked out of her room. She stopped for a moment outside her room and grew tick mark. Right outside her room was a stuffed bear twice her size with the words 'From Uncle Tony' on it. She looked around and saw Thanatos walk by, well through a wall but whatever and got a wicked smile. "Hey Thanatos, if you destroy this thing I'll give a sugar cube." A few seconds later the bear was a pile of fluff and ash.
She laughed, oh how she loved her families little pet. "Come on, the cubes are in the kitchen." And she walked off, the apocalyptic horse right behind her. As she walked in she noted Uncle Star was in there, she rooted for around for said cube and upon finding one she threw it to the blood thirst ghost who whinnied in appreciation. Steve raised and eye-brow and she said "He made a horrible thing disappear." He just nodded not wanting to know.
He handed a plate to her and she raised an eye-brow in question. Steve answered "The other cooked when they trained you so I figured I would too, today you'll start with warm ups and we'll move on to stances and then some sparring. I know your strong but trust me you're not going to do too much to me. While we do all this I'll teach you some basic laws that you, as both a teenager with no legal parents and a super-human should know."
She noted that he had made her bacon, sausage, eggs, buttered toast. Not the healthiest breakfast, but it smelt so good. As the 3 ate, Steve had what she had just more and Thanatos started eating the table but neither of them cared enough to stop him, she had to ask "Will Pops and Uncle Rubix be OK?"
Steve laughed "Yeah, I may not know Danny well, but I know he's strong and despite Tony's attitude he's good to have in a fight too, the only problem they may run into is how long it'll take them to find the … target." She nodded and threw her now empty plate into the sink and said "Uncle Star, while we train where is Aunty Pepper and what is poor Thanatos gonna do?"
Steve highly doubted the 'poor Thanatos' part, and as he looked at the horse, about 2/3 into the table now he could have sworn the thing grinned at him. That horse creeped him the fuck out.
He took a breath and answered her "Pepper is doing Tony's job of running Stark CO. or whatever it's called [she raised an eye-brow at that] and I'm sure Thanatos will be fine on his own for a few hours."
She noticed the look he shot Thanatos and started laughing on the inside 'Note to self: get Uncle Star around Thanatos as much as possible.'
They walked out of the kitchen and found the rather expansive gym. As soon as they walked in Dani grinned, this was going to be fun, and she just knew it. Steve looked back at her with a grin "So ready to get started?" His answer was her having a grin of her own.
{With Jazz}
Jazz sighed.
…
She noted she had been doing that a lot lately, ever since Danny had found Dani again. No one would shut up, she was aware she was a bit of a motor mouth, most of her family seemed to be, but usually people had to breath, but every time someone breathed someone else started up.
At home here Father would blather on for literal hours, she knew he was big but where he kept all the air needed she had no clue. When he finally shuts up her Mother started up, while she actually made sense she had no idea what she was talking about. As you could probably tell Jazz's opinion on her parents wasn't great, while she and Danny where never truly neglected she knew her parents could disappear for days at a time and knew so little about their kids she found it insulting. She used to be OK with it but as she became more independent she also looked at them with worse and worse outlooks. Danny leaving and how little their lives changed only reinforced these feelings and knowing Danny was a Dad and hearing him talk about Dani for more than a minute showed how inadequate they could be.
At school (College if your slow) the 2 were the main source of talk and one subject had even had a class on how a parent will act if there child's in danger in honor of the event.
Worse of all was Sam and Tucker, who she was still being forced to deal with, were just as bad, if not worse. Sam going on about what happened to him, where he had been, and what was up with Thanatos and Dani. Tucker would talk about when he's coming back and how he's been. She knew they were talking more out of concern but she couldn't see where they got off being concerned after everything. They sickened her.
Although thinking of Thanatos cheered her up some, everyone else found him terrifying while she thought he was kinda cuddly, if only he didn't have the fire mane. From what she understood this was actually Thanatos's fault everyone who wasn't his rider felt varying levels of fear off the 4 horses; however as both his friend and sister she was affected in the opposite way. From what she knew both Dani and that annoying playboy Tony felt the same way.
Her train of thought continued, she found it amusing when others, like her parents or his former friends, threatened him. He was in a different league than them all, and so were his friends. She regularly talked to Tony Stark, billionaire super hero and besides thinking he was kind of stupid they got along fine, she did like talking to Pepper though. She remembered talking to Danny while he was in some kind of cave, it wasn't abnormal they talked in all kinds of places before something off screen had gotten his attention. He walked off for a minute and Batman walked into frame, they had proceeded to have a 5 minute discussion over what defines insanity and whether insanity is an excuse or a reason. Danny had come back to them still talking over it and she and him had even talked again when he was nearby and so was Danny. She could count another halve dozen similar incidents off the top of her head in an instant.
She was about to reminisce about this further, and yes she was well aware she was brooding but whatever, when her phone ringing dragged her out of her thoughts. It was her phone, more specifically it was a phone Danny had shipped her and not many people knew of its existence.
She walked over and picked it up "Hello?"
"It's me" came a deep, gruff voice. It took her a second "Batman?" Why was he calling?
"Yes it is, I'm offering you something, you're in your last year of college, and I'm offering you a place in JLA University for psychology. I'm sure you've heard of it, a place funded by JLA for future heroes, not just the super kind but also normal ones like cops and psychologists. I'm sure you're wondering why I'm giving you this, there are 2 reasons actually. The first is your too smart to waste on some half way child psychologists. The other is more of a favor I know you have trouble talking to Danny due to other people being around and you don't like a lot of those people and this will take care of both of those problems."
Jazz was speechless; Batman was offering her a place at one of the most wanted colleges in the world. "Why?"
Knowing what she meant "Like I said, you're too smart, you want to be in this world, and you belong here, and Danny agrees. You may never be a super-hero like your brother, but you can be a hero."
Having nothing else to say Jazz said "Thank you, thank you so much." Batman simply said "The permission slip will be there in 2 days." And he hung up.
Still shocked Jazz only looked at her phone and blinked. She smiled and started getting packed; she had something to do and something to tell the Danny's next she saw them.
{Back to Dani, next day}
Dani woke up and felt good, despite all the bruises she had had the day before she was now fine, being half ghost really helped healing she guessed. She also remembered the dozen or so laws Uncle Star had beat into her head, which just made the few hits she had gotten in on him more gratifying.
Dressed and clean she walked out of her room, decided to ignore Thanatos who was chewing on something that looked suspiciously like a bleeding squirrel, oh well she never had liked squirrels and someone else could deal with the blood stain.
As she came to the kitchen and grabbed some cereal, too lazy to make anything, she noticed a note on the table. The gist of it was Uncle Star and Aunty Pepper were out for the day, so she should work out, read some books, so on.
After eating she walked out, noticed a rubix cube, did it in about 21 seconds, and started to walk to the gym. She stopped when she saw Thanatos looking at the window. "There isn't anything there big guy." She stated.
"There isn't?" She whirled around and saw Batman on the window sill.
After a moment she said "Hey Batsy, Pops thought you would have been here yesterday what took you so long?"
Batman simply said "Helping a friend." Dani grinned "How 'bout helping me?" "What do you want child?"
She grinned and walked to the gym Batman not too far behind her. "How about you help me with fighting, I'm practicing and Pops and Uncle Star aren't here right now." Batman gave a rare smile "Sure."
That's all folks. What do ya think? Wulf and Johnny will appear next chapter, I think Dani's mother will as well. Read, review, tell me what you think.
