I do not own Danny Phantom or Arrow!
Chap 14: Is This Ever Gonna End?
Danny walked over to Oliver and Roy as Danielle got to know Diggle and Lyla. "I'm going to head to the foundry, Dani is going to want to come with. Are you okay with that?"
"I'm not comfortable with her down there." Danny understood the concern. He turned around to hopefully convince Dani to stay with Diggle and Lyla. They all turned at Lyla's sharp inhale. Oliver and Roy watched Dani's hand turn to green goop. Danny kneeled down, placing his hands near hers with ecto-energy in it. Dani concentrated in pulling herself together, the added energy making it easier. She laid back from the exhaustion from that little act.
"It's a temporary method for now. I need—"
"Danny." Oliver called from where he was standing. Danny gave Dani a smile and walked over to him. "Take her with, just be careful."
"Dani, come with me." Danny called
"Where are we going?"
"A secret hideout." He stated walking over while transforming with her. "You are not flying."
"You can't keep me from using my powers."
"I'm not. It's a safety precaution until we get there. We will work on your powers to find that limit."
"Okay." Danny picked her up and they flew through the roof.
"Anyone else noticing that he's acting like a father to her?" Roy asked, the others nodded.
"It's probably because of being halfas and their dislike of Vlad." Lyla said.
'We know what Vlad wants with Phantom, but what does ARGUS want with Dani?' was the thought of everyone in the room.
"I'll head into ARGUS to try and find some information, they most likely found out her secret."
"Did they give Vlad the information to find her?" Oliver asked.
"I wouldn't be surprised if they end up working together. Or if they know who Phantom really is."
"I'm going to call Felicity and let her know what is going on." Oliver stated walking out.
(Line Break)
"Only you would arrive at a city with heroes."
"I was going to leave when I found out, but then I was pulled into something else."
"Trouble knows how to find us." Danny formed a self-sustaining ectoplasmic ball. "How did you do that?"
"Once you're stronger, I'll teach you." Dani smiled in excitement.
Using his parents' plans for the ecto-dejecto as a starting point, he placed some experimental ectoplasm in it. Adding some of his own energy and some charged ectoplasm he sprayed it on the energy ball. It grew in size once before shrinking into nothing. "This is going to take a while."
While Danny worked, Dani explored the foundry eventually ending up in Felicity's chair for a nap.
When she awoke she saw the energy ball shrink than grow before dispersing completely. She watched Oliver walk over to Danny, "Getting anywhere?"
"Close. A lot of trials and errors with combinations."
Dani stood up and walked over, "How are you feeling?" Oliver asked her.
"Better."
He turned back towards Danny as Roy came over suited up, "We are about ready to go out for patrol."
"I want to go with!" Dani stated.
"I'm not sure if that's a good idea." Oliver said.
Danny turned to face Dani, "If you weren't destabilizing, I'd say go on ahead."
"Wouldn't I lose control of my powers?"
"If you stopped using them all together."
"Won't the energy build up?"
Danny opened his mouth to respond before closing it. He looked between the three in front of him. "Fine, but you must stay with them invisible and you are not allowed to fight." Dani glared at him before transforming. "I'll explain later." Danny said to Oliver since he was getting a look.
"Lyla and Digg are checking out ARGUS and Felicity will be in soon."
(Line Break)
"Where's everyone else?" Felicity asked sitting in her chair. Danny was at his station working on another project.
"Oliver and Roy left for patrol, taking Danielle with. Diggle and Lyla are checking out ARGUS, who wants Danielle."
"You let her go with?"
"If she doesn't use some of her powers, they're going to build up. Eventually, it's possible that she will unintentionally destroy everything around her. I refused to use my powers, which I ended up losing control."
"Oh, so you and she are a stubborn pair." Danny glared at her lightly. "How am I still unable to get in?"
Danny walked over, after placing his tools down, to see what was frustrating her. "You're still trying that?" he frowned.
Felicity looked up at him, she sighed. "I respect your privacy, but I'm curious as to why I keep getting kicked out." She turned to her computers, typing away.
"Ecto-energy isn't just used for weapons." He zoned a little before blinking and sat back in his chair.
"Who created that?"
"Tucker, after his PDA was possessed by Technus one too many times. If you knew how to get around ecto-energy in technology, you would've been in by now."
"Does Vlad have the same thing?"
"Yeah, that's why Tuck was trying to get in. He was hiding more plans than just for business."
"Then tell me how to get in, then I can mess with Vlad."
"I still don't want you in that file."
"I won't go in the file. Just a code to get through the fire walls."
"We never figured out the code, we created a list of what we could use."
"Do you still have the list?"
"Should be under the miscellaneous files."
A little bit later a surprised look came across her face, "Those are a lot of codes."
"Hey, we found something at ARGUS." Diggle stated coming down the steps with Lyla behind him.
"What'd you find?" Danny asked from where he was.
"They know your identity and were fully aware of the GIW."
"I thought Vlad was the one that owned them?" Roy asked with Oliver looking concerned.
"He does." Lyla started taking over. "ARGUS was fully aware of their activities."
"Which means they know who and what Vlad is." Oliver stated.
"Where's Dani?" Danny asked looking around.
"She's not back?" Oliver asked now worried. Danny immediately transformed into Phantom and Picked up the boomerang. "What are you doing?" Danny ignored the question and flew to the roof. "He needs to realize that we are a team!" Oliver yelled frustrated, he ran out with Roy and Diggle following.
They reached Phantom just in time to prevent him from flying off, "Will you wait!"
"She could be in trouble!"
"We know. Take this so we know where you end up." Danny caught the device before flying off.
"Felicity? Where's he headed?" Oliver asked once back in the foundry.
"Once he slows down, I'll let you know." She answered back typing away as the others stared at her.
"You can't track him?"
"He's moving faster than the signal can receive."
"Think, He'll be able to create a tracer for ghosts?" Roy asked.
"If you ask him, maybe." Diggle replied.
"Finally, he slowed down. Oh no." Felicity mumbled. The others quickly ran over and looked over her shoulder. All five grabbed a pair of comms; Diggle and Lyla grabbed a gun each, Oliver and Roy grabbed the trick arrows, Felicity brought up all the cameras that she could and moved them around the screen.
"Once you find Danielle and Danny, let me know."
Felicity nodded as the four left. "We always seem to find trouble."
Phantom followed the device as it hit a metal door, hidden in a tunnel below a building. Gripping the device, he phased through the door, red lights filled the corridor along with sirens loud enough to make Phantom cover his ears in pain. Seconds felt like minutes when the noise stopped. He looked around in confusion before continuing down the hall invisible.
The rooms were like that of a maze as he became lost. He still as there was a high pitched scream followed by silence. Throwing the boomerang once more, it flew through the cooridors until it hit another door. He flew around a corner as the door opened, a hand reached out for the device that landed on the floor. The hand was then grabbed by another pulling the agent out of the door into the wall hard enough to knock him out. Phantom rounded the corner to blast the agents away from the device since it's the only thing he has left to find Dani. As he flew closer, he stopped and landed, the ecto-blast in hand disappeared. Diggle and Lyla looked up at him. "Good to know you were close by." Diggle stated, Danny stared at Lyla.
"Why are you here?"
"We know how Waller works. We can keep her busy while you get Dani." Danny nodded at her answer than looked at Diggle who was glaring at Lyla. They must've had that argument before.' Phantom though before picking up the device and walking through the door.
"Where's the other two."
"Keeping security busy."
They all heard a scream as another door opened in front of them. Phantom fired a strong ecto-blast without warning at the person who stepped through. A noise was muffled as he hit through the door into the room. Diggle and Lyla followed Phantom, shocked at the power used and the reflexes the teenager had. The dust that appeared was lit up as two black rings appeared. Phantom tensed, placing himself in front of Diggle and Lyla.
A pink stream was sent when the dust settle, a green shield absorbed the attack. "Now, Daniel what are you doing here?"
"Where is Danielle?" he asked full of confidence.
"Just becoming the next experiment."
Phantom's eyes glowed brighter in anger, "Where. Is. She!?"
"Danny, she's close. Felicity found her location."
"Be my guest." Vlad said disappearing.
"Danny, calm down." Diggle stated placing a hand on his shoulder. "It's the third door on the left, down the hallway." Phantom flew past them hearing a low groan, he stopped at the door waiting for the other two. When they arrived, Lyla brought out a key card. Once the door opened, Lyla and Diggle pulled Phantom behind them at the sight of Waller.
"John, Lyla welcome." She stepped out of the way to see the boy they are trying to hide. "It's an honor to meet you as well Mr. Fenton."
Phantom turned invisible and intangible to make sure he got to Waller, he became visible, "Where. Is. She?"
Waller stepped to the side to bring Dani into view. She was strapped vertically on a wall, her wrists were trapped by metal cuffs. "Danny?" she asked weakly.
"Let her go!" Phantom yelled.
"There are many discoveries that could be made." Phantom angrily fired two eco-blasts towards the cuffs. "Mr. Masters stated that your powers won't be strong enough to break those bands."
"Waller! Let her go." Arrow yelled running through the door with Arsenal behind him.
"Mr. Fenton hasn't been able to do anything. What makes you think you can?" The agents that surrounded Waller attacked Arrow. Nobody noticed Arsenal pull back on the drawstring until it was too late. The arrow flew true hitting the on cuff, the small explosion caught the attention of the other agents that entered the room. As Arsenal was kept busy, Phantom came forward to do what he could. Dani's scream resonated through the room just as electricity moved through her body. The colors of black and white merged into the ectoplasmic green as she started to melt.
"NO!" Phantom yelled as he began to desperately pull on the cuffs. His eyes glowed blue and froze the cuffs instead, "Danielle, you need to pull against your restraints." She began to pull struggling to get anywhere.
"Here!" a hand gave him the ecto-dejecto, not bothering to look who it was, he grabbed it.
Standing up he looked at Dani, "Feeling brave?" she nodded. He moved his hand to her right wrist and sprayed. The restraints broke apart from the added energy, Phantom moved to catch her. Realization hit when she only fell around him into the collection trough that was on the floor. Phantom punched the floor once creating a small dent, the tense atmosphere made every combatant freeze. When Team Arrow saw what happened, they looked at Waller with murderous intent. Phantom stood up with one eye glowing blue and the other growing green. He sent three ecto-blasts towards Waller's feet making her back up.
"Danny!" Phantom turned around, "I'm me again!" Waller moved closer but slipped on the icy ground. Phantom hugged Dani tightly as she laughed. The agents moved to interfere by Waller's command, but were stopped by a wave of ice spikes moving closer to them. They stepped back.
"We're leaving, don't ever come near me or those I care for again." Phantom's eyes returned to the calm green, leaving with the others behind him. Waller glared at their backs, the threat still hanging in the air. Only when they got back to the foundry did the ice spikes disappeared.
"I told you Daniel was not someone to take lightly." Vlad said to Waller, transforming into his other half.
"We will have him and his daughter under our control, then you will become king of the ghost realm."
Waller and the other agents left the room, "It's only a matter of time before your agency falls with the mortal realm." Vlad laughed as he flew out of the building, back to his mansion in Colorado.
I wouldn't be surprised if this continued for another 10 chapters. With this being between seasons there's a lot that can be done and to be expanded on.
