I always wondered what would happen if I said something along the lines of...oh I don't know..."This will eventually end up being discontinued." Hehe

Don't worry I'm joking! That will never happen (knock on wood); I know what it is like to follow someone to the point when they decide to discontinue a story. As long as I am at least 4 chapters ahead after the update there will be an end to this. Hopefully a good proper one!

Check the note at the bottom for something else!

I do not own Danny Phantom or Arrow!

Chap 9: Teaching

"Starting with the weapons here." Danny laid them across the table, trying not to get flustered at the attention. "These are the ecto-guns, they work similar to that of a real gun only with limited blasts. It takes a bit to charge up but they can be powerful when used the correct way. They can't hurt humans, they will more push them away."

"Blasts? Don't you mean bullets?" Diggle asked more used to the weaponry.

"They are blasts, trust me on that." Danny set it down, next he picked up something that looked like a comms unit. "The Fenton Phones can filter out any spectral noise; if Ember decides to try and hypnotize the city we won't fall under her spell." Placing them down, he picked up a small metal rod. He pushed a button on the side and the two ends came out that were glowing green.

"It looks like a double light saber." Felicity said, the movie reference hitting them.

"Burns like one too." They looked back at Danny. "The ecto-energy used in these inventions are slightly different than the stuff that ghosts are made of. When a ghost gets shot by them, it feels like a burn."

"Apparently you've had experience." Lyla stated.

"One too many times." He pushed the button again and it returned to the small rod look. "Bo-staff, self-explanatory." Putting the two to the side, he showed up two more rods that looked similar. "The fishing rod with a ghost proof line. The Jack-o-nine tails which helps when battling something at long range, or getting the attention of a hydra."

"Why a fishing rod?"

"My dad liked to fish." Oliver looked at him seeing himself in the kid a little bit. "The Fenton Peeler," he started holding it up, "peels away to the ghost's true form."

"Is that a boomerang?" Roy asked grabbing it from the table, swinging it back.

"Don't throw—" The stupidly named tracking device flew out of Roy's hand and into the depths of the foundry, it came hurtling back. Just not for Roy, it aimed for Danny who caught it before he could get hit in the head. "Next time, don't throw it."

"Why did it come to you instead of Roy?" Felicity asked glancing at the device.

"It's still locked on my ecto-signature." They looked at him lost. "That thing can track me. An ecto-signature is like a fingerprint; every ghost has a different one."

Felicity looked past him on the desk to see the blueprints of the weapons he showed them, two looked out of place. Something that was very large and another that was small. "What are these two?"

"That one I don't know." He said pointing to the 'ecto dejecto' one. "That one is the blueprints for the portal."

"Are you going to build it again?" Lyla asked.

"I'm not sure. If I was given it then it's probably important." Danny also walked closer to it, realizing that it still had the button on the inside. "If it is rebuilt, I'll be able to send the ghosts back, but it'll be easier for them to return."

"Do whatever you think is best."

"If the portal isn't made the ghosts still have Vlad's portal and the natural portals that have the tendency to appear; like the Bermuda Triangle."

"The disappearances are from natural portals?" Diggle questioned interested.

"A portal appears and they end up in the Ghost Zone before flying through another portal, sometimes ending up in different periods of time."

"There goes that mystery."

"There's all the talk about ghosts that can injure people, but what about the ones that are see through?" Felicity asked.

"There are three types of ghosts. Type one are your average apparitions who are here for a reason or who don't want to leave. Type two are those that bound themselves to the land of the living; usually by magic or a ritual. Type three is last with the ghosts that have an obsession. Skulker likes to hunt rare and unique things, Boxy likes boxes, and Ember has her music. If these ghosts stray from their obsessions they can ultimately destroy themselves, disintegration into nothing."

"What's yours?" Roy asked curiosity filling him.

Danny glared at him enough to make his eyes glow, Roy stepped back. "It is very rude to ask what a ghost's obsession is or how they died. Expect to be attacked by others."

"What about the information on the ghosts themselves? How do we defeat them?"

"It depends on the situation, but most of the information that I have are on the ghost files."

"So what are you going to do?"

"Start fixing the inventions."

"Tomorrow you can. It's late and we all need sleep." Oliver said as they headed back up to Verdant. When there was a rummaging around the floor, small tapping. They looked around the corner to see a small green puppy playing with a squeaky toy.

"Okay, it's only Cujo. Put all weapons away, and stay calm." Danny stated ready for the pounce. "Cujo, it's okay they are friends." Felicity kneeled to the dog allowing him to sniff her fingers before nuzzling his head into her hand. "Careful he is strong." Roy and Lyla came down as well getting the same reaction.

"Ollie!" A yell came from the door. The loud yell startled Cujo, he whipped around and grew into his larger size. "What is that?!"

The others stared on dumbfounded as Danny face palmed. He ran in front between the lady and the dog. "Down boy, it's okay there is no threat." Seeing the human that he sees as his master he returned to his small size, then tackled him to the ground.

"Who are you?" The woman glared at him.

"Laurel, this is Danny. He's from the glades." Oliver stated. "He knows."

"Another kid, really Ollie." Danny didn't care what she said, it's not like she knew him.

"He's helping us."

"With what?"

"That's for him to say if he trusts you."

"Well then what is it?" she asked looking at Danny.

"She's part of the DA and is keeping our secret." Oliver said seeing the calculating look in his eye.

"The last time the world found out my secret I was hunted by the government for painful experiments." Danny stated, he did not trust the law.

"How do we not remember that?"

"Changed reality so no one knew my secret."

"Files?"

"Files."

"What is going on?" Laurel asked, confused at what just happened.

"A lot." Danny said not saying anything else.

"I can keep a secret."

"Depends which side of the law you are on. Are you on Oliver's side just because you found out he's the Arrow or do you realize exactly how screwed up the government really is?"

Laurel was silent at that, the others were also silent waiting for her answer. "I'm on both sides, the court system as well as the night side. Justice needs to be done the best way."

"I won't make my judgment now." Danny picked up Cujo then looked back at her, "Just like I told everyone else; keep an opened mind." Everyone followed out leaving Laurel and Oliver behind.

"What's with the judgment?"

"The law is scared of what they don't understand, and will call you a criminal even though you are innocent. They don't look past anything, never did the research."

"You had issues with them before." Lyla stated.

"Yeah, the one I was framed and the other I was controlled. There was a ghost warden after me to make my life living hell because I caused a prison riot. He made a rule when I accidentally went in the portal, all real world items are prohibited. I got a thousand years in prison. He overshadowed my town to make me look like a criminal. He took over the mayor's body making it seem like that I was attacking the mayor and not the other way around. When I was controlled, a ring master by the name of Freakshow had a crystal ball that could control ghosts. There would be times that I could break free, but it wasn't enough. He controlled me and three others to rob banks for him."

"You have enemies on both sides." They stepped into the car hoping to get some rest, Diggle hoping that Danny would eventually come to trust Laurel.

(Line Break-we are skipping to the next night.)

"I saw you working on something this morning." Diggle stated as they got into the foundry.

"A little present for Roy and Oliver."

"You're not giving anything else up are you?"

"Nope."

They stopped when they saw Laurel at Felicity's computer systems "Laurel, you need to get off that." Danny looked on, for once he was the one confused.

"She needs to realize that these systems aren't just for her, they are for everyone to use." She was typing into the computer when she sighed in frustration. "I'm trying to see what these ghost files are."

"You are losing some points there." Danny said walking past to the table with the inventions and his tools. Oliver let him know that it was set up for his use whenever he wanted to work on them.

"Then tell me what is going on."

"Maybe if you backed off a bit instead on getting nosy like some reporter maybe it'll give me the reason to divulge the information." Danny said losing his temper.

"You may be living luxury right now, but you still have no permanent home to go to."

"I'm fully aware. I didn't want to stay in the first place. These wonderful people here more or less took me in. Besides no one else needs to get hurt!"

"Come on, it's not like you are being hunted." Danny turned around, hitting the sore spot.

"Laurel let him go." Oliver said walking in. "He has yet to tell us everything, he also has a dark past." He looked over at Danny. "You do realize she's going to figure something out when Felicity checks your stitches."

"She figures something out on her own then so be it. Maybe then she think about why I would want my past to stay in the past." He said glaring at Laurel.

"I just want to help out the team."

Danny sighed knowing that he took things slightly too far. "Nothing is in the files that you can help with. Everything in there will give anyone the information to expose all of us." Danny set the tool on the table. "If you wanted to know if the files held anything important, you should've just asked." He turned back around putting work goggles on as the sparks flew from where he was at. 'I hate it when people do that. Just because they had a harsh life doesn't give them the right to go searching for the truth of others.' He took the goggles off inspecting the weapon, one of the ecto-guns plating was loose.

"Hey, we need to check your bandages." Diggle said looking over at Felicity who was getting the supplies out. "You healed yet?"

"Nope."

"I though you would be healed in a couple of hours."

"Skulker always has an upgrade, you never know what could happen next." Danny stood up walking over to Felicity, taking note that Laurel was watching his every move. Taking his shirt off, she stared at the amount of bandages and the light scaring over is arms that she didn't see before. As the bandages were unwrapped the scars nearly littered his body, more than what Oliver has. She nearly gasped first at the stitches that covered his torso, than she did at a familiar incision she did in high school. Danny glanced at her, but other than that there was no other movement from her.

"I thought you said you would heal in a couple of hours." Felicity accused.

"It was an upgrade." Danny groaned, literally just having the conversation earlier.

"Can you feel anything anymore?"

"I've gotten a tolerance to pain."

Laurel looked at him seeing the stature look familiar from two and a half years ago. As she imagined the people that she had researched it clicked. Switched the eye to green and the hair to white, and there was Amity Parks hero, mostly. She remembered hearing about the kid attacking the mayor. 'There has to be something about that.'

She got up from where she sat, walking closer she heard something about a masters.

"Probably similar to that of Master's invention. He created it to short out my powers for three hours."

"Bet that was interesting."

"When mom was there and he sicked the ghost animals on me, yeah that went well."

"What was Vlad's plan in the first place, before, well everything?" Felicity asked rewrapping the fresh bandages.

"Kill my dad, marry mom, and make me his evil apprentice slash son."

"No wonder you call him a fruitloop." Danny was about to speak about Vlad finally getting a cat, when he saw Laurel. He glance at her as she walked forward.

"If you told me Mr. Masters was a part of this then I can tell you that he is a fraud. He got his fortune a little too easily."

They looked at Danny, even Oliver. "Welcome to the group that hates the fruitloop." She walked away back up the steps grabbing her stuff as well. Danny sighed deeply. "Now we judge."

"What do you mean by that?"

"She may have figured out my secret, it just depends on what she does with it now."

"We're going out for patrol." Oliver stated as the others got back to their usual spots, Roy followed already in his costume.

As the others headed out, Danny brought out the object that he was hiding from that morning. It was an ectoplasma cartridge that was hollowed out in a triangle. Diggle came over to watch him work, "Can you go over and grab one of the arrow heads?" Danny asked not looking up from where he was. Diggle came back with said object in hand, one that was just recently sharpened. He watched as both items were in each hand, and he stared to weigh them. He then picked up pieces of metal that was already fitted. When they were set he picked up the tool and welded them together. He weighed them one more time. Taking the arrow head it pass through his arm onto the table. He picked up the metal thing and placed it near his arm, he got nicked. Blood poured down his arm just as it became solid. He placed his thumb over the wound and removed it after about five seconds. Diggle watched as his skin healed itself.

"Hi." Danny was unaware that he was still beside him.

"Did you just create an arrow head that can hurt ghosts?"

"Yeah, and it's close to the same weight."

(Line beak-It's the arrow of the arrow in Arrow)

Danny watched carefully as Felicity brought up the cameras as Arrow fought the criminal. He watched as he kept his footing along with staying aware of his other attackers. 'Will I be able to do that in human form? I'm used to fighting in the air. Would I be able to defeat Vlad at his own game?' All of Arrow and Arsenal's fighting was fluid, they connected into each attack. 'Something to familiarize myself with just in case.' He walked away to his work station, grabbing an arrow shaft along the way. The arrowhead he created did work against ghost, since he did try it on himself by turning intangible. He already had the anti-ghost arrow threaded, he just needed to make sure that it was the right size. He twisted it on when Diggle came up beside him.

"That looks good, does it work?"

"Technically it works. Until Oliver or Roy shoots it, a possibility. The slightly added weight may throw the aim off." There was a gasp over by Felicity who stared at the computer. "What's wrong?" The two came over, one look at the screen told Danny what he feared. Grabbing the extra Fenton Phones, he ran into the alleyway towards the source.

"Where are you going!?" Diggle yelled seeing Danny run off.

"Arrow, Arsenal get out of there!"

"Why?"

"You don't have the right equipment."

"What are you going to do?"

"My obsession."

Felicity looked at the camera that was by the alleyway entrance, Diggle looking over her shoulder. They watched as a ring of bluish white light formed around Danny's midsection and split into two, one moved up as the other moved down. Instead of the sweatshirt and jeans, now there was a jumpsuit with the insignia. Black hair turned snowy white, blue eyes turned a radioactive green, and his skin turned tan. The two were amazed as he jumped up soaring into the sky.

Flying at 120 miles per hour he made it to the fight in seconds, just in time to grab the two archers out of the way from an attack. Landing in front of them, Hotep-Ra held his attack. "You're the Halfa that everyone's talking about in the Ghost Zone, and the one who ruined my plans the last time."

"Yeah, so."

"You will pay."

"Leave, Hotep!" his hands glowed green, surprising the two behind him.

"I will pull the empire back into Egypt!" Hotep yelled back.

His bandages came to life going for an attack at the ghost child. Danny formed a dome ghost shield that surrounded all three. He felt a burning sensation where his injuries were still healing. Hotep looked surprised for some reason at the show of his powers. Bringing the shield down, Danny shot two quick ecto-blasts which caused more pain and Hotep dodged the attacks. He flew towards the mummy going in for hand to hand, the bandages wrapped around Danny's form. His eyes changed from green to blue allowing his cyrokinesis to flow outward, putting too much energy in it he partially froze the ground. He hissed when he landed farther away, Hotep's head was the only part not frozen.

"You're feeling the effects from Skulker's attack I see." A slight glow flared out from him, breaking the ice. "Once we found out what your core was, Skulker designed a weapon to give you the opposite energy."

Danny stood up ignoring most of the pain that started from the wound and moved outward. "It doesn't matter what you do to me, just leave everyone else out of this." An ectoplasmic ball rested in his hands, it became an ecto-blast when he stretched out his arm. His own power forcing him back a bit. Hotep raised his bandages as a barrier, but it wasn't enough. He was thrown back into a wall, Danny brought out the thermos sucking him in. A wave of pain brought him down to his knees, he tried to get lift but every time another wave hit.

"Danny?" Oliver and Roy came up to him. "Stay with us. We'll get you back to the foundry."

Pushing himself up from where he was, he grabbed the two by their arms and flew back. Turning them all intangible, they phased through to the basement where not only was the team there but also Laurel. Danny slumped to the ground, Oliver and Roy lifted him up to the table. All five people watched as a ring appeared around his waist then split revealing the human side of the teenager. Four of them turned towards Laurel, who was shocked as some of the puzzle pieces fit together. "What?" she asked, unnerved at the stares she was getting at the others. "I figured it out when he mentioned Vlad. I did a bit of research in the past about his actions."

"He puts way too much on chance." Roy stated.

"Aren't you going to hook him up to make sure everything is normal?"

"None of his vitals are normal." Oliver said remembering the scare from the first time.

"What happened out there?" Laurel asked.

"I don't know." Oliver looked over at Felicity. "Can you bring the ghost files up? Find one by the name of Hotep?" Laurel walked over to look at the files that she was trying to get in from before. Oliver walked over to Danny's work station, he picked up his arrow to realize that the arrowhead was more metallic. Despite it being a different metal, it wasn't as heavy as he thought it would be. It was slightly heavier than his other arrows, including that of his genesin arrow. He took it in his hand and turned around to see Diggle and Roy looking at him.

"He finished that before he left." Diggle said when he realized what was in his hand. "He said that it worked against ghosts, but it was only a possibility to be useful if it could be shot. Since it's slightly heavier, it could throw your aim off slightly."

"How did he know it could work?" Laurel asked. Thinking that there was no way he could without a ghost present, temporarily forgetting that Danny was part ghost.

"He tested it on himself. He took one of the arrows, turned his arm intangible, and it fell through him. He took that one did the same thing, but hit nicked him."

"Danny explained a few things while he's been working. With normal weapons he can turn intangible allowing the attacks to pass through him. When it comes to anti-ghost weapons, even if he was intangible it would still hit him." Felicity stated from where she was at.

Oliver grabbed his bow from where he placed it, arrow still in hand. Moving over to the target he knocked the arrow and drew it back, concentrating on the target. Letting go of the drawstring, the arrow flew hitting the outer edge of the middle. "It's not too bad. I can work around it."

"I can probably layer it down. Won't be as affected towards ghosts with it being lighter, but if you need it it'll happen." Danny said sitting up where he was.

"Can you make more?"

"Yeah, I have the materials for it." Danny jumped off of the table standing straight, as he looked at everyone. Each one looked like they were ready to start a question and answer session. "I know you have questions, just one at a time."

"What's a Halfa?" Roy asked.

"It's what I am. Half human, half ghost hybrid. It a term the ghosts use."

"What did Hotep mean by your core?"

"Every ghost has a core, the most common is ice since that's why ghosts are cold to the touch. I've come across fire, electric, plant, and dark cores. It's another energy besides the ectoplasmic energy. It's why I was able to use cyrokinesis against him."

"The weapon Skulker used, what was the effect?"

"I do have a theory. My ghost side is what keeps me alive when I'm not up to par, my human side can heal easily if my ghost side is functional. If I am unable to transform into Phantom that could be why my human side has yet to completely heal. Skulker must have had that blade fire core based, it would explain the burning sensation every time I used my powers. I won't be able to use any of my powers until my ghost half is healed from the effects."

"It's strange how you refer to yourself like that." Diggle stated.

"Got a better way?"

"How many powers do you have?" Laurel asked.

"A lot." He sighed. "One thing is for sure, I need to reign in my powers, and they are starting to get out of control."

"I think you should build the portal again." Laurel stated out of the group, Danny opened his mouth. "I saw the blue prints. If we control when the door opens, it will make it easier to send the ghosts back." She said before Danny had the chance to respond. "Right?" Danny nodded. "Then do so."

"Some ghosts are going to find a way here despite the portal."

"It will be more controlled though."

"It's a possibility for them to attack more often."

Danny and Laurel had the argument for a while until Diggle though of something. "You're the prince to the throne. Can't you command the ghosts to stop coming here?"

"I am NOT becoming the king! I'll be the hero again, easily. I will not be the king." They were shocked by his outburst. "I won't turn into Him, I promised." He stated silently.

Felicity looked at the clock to see it nearing one in the morning, "How about we all go home and get some sleep?"

"She's right, let's go."

One of the longer chapters, wasn't too bad. Those that are Laurel fans, yes I made her bitchy (the writer's made her that way, deal with it). BUT! I am able to work around this, in chapter 11 she still has that attitude. That's all I am saying, I can't say anything else without revealing too much, other than the fact that I think this is what the writer's are/were trying to do.

Back to the other thing. Reason that I'm not doing actual POV is because I can't write like that. The reason that I'm not focusing on the other characters is because I have issues KEEPING them in character. So if you want, write up what you think could be happening in the heads of the others or what the others are doing when the story is focused around Danny. Let me know the specific scene and send me the link and I will post it with the A/N. I don't care what style you use.

Now, I'm waiting on a HP/DP and a Superphantom update...two of which I would have never thought I would be interested in...
