Chapter 7: Revelations
"We still don't know anything about the creature that stalked the streets of Dakota City, going on a violent spree that killed fifteen people and left over twenty maimed or injured," the reporter on the TV said as she stood in front of the ruined Alva building. "Among those lost were also the metahumans known as Hotstreak, Kangor, Ebon, Talon, Ferret and known compatriot of Static, the local vigilante, Gear. Even more disturbing was the means that the victims were killed, ranging from intense hypothermia, blunt force trauma, disembowelment and even signs of teeth marks showing that some victims were partially devoured."
Virgil could only remain silent as he watched from his hospital bed; next to him was Adam Evans or better known as 'Rubberband Man'. They both watched as a police sketch of the creature appeared, Static cringing instantly at seeing those evil sunken in eyes and horrible teeth. "The authorities have started calling it the 'Stag Man' and while the actual origins of the creature is not known, many people believe that Alva Industries is responsible due to the link that Alva Industries had to the vapor that mutated several of Dakota City's gang members in the event called 'The Big Bang'."
"Turn it off..." Virgil said distantly.
Adam did so before turning to the injured crime-fighter after a few brief moments of solemn silence. "I'm...I'm sorry about Richie, Virgil," he said somberly. Virgil remained silent as he looked at down at his legs. "What did the doctors say? Is there anything they could do to help?" Adam asked.
"They say my spine has been shattered into several pieces." He answered him. "They say I will never be able to walk again."
Adam looked down at the floor with a frown as the door opened; the two looked over to see a young woman wearing a black and red form-fitting suit enter. "Who are you?" Adam asked as he glared at the suspicious being
"She's the one that saved me from that thing," Virgil answered. Adam looked back and relaxed still staring at the strange women as she removed her helmet giving them both a clear view of her face along with her long black hair and green eyes.
"Yes, sorry I couldn't stick around but when I dropped you off here I went looking for that thing." She answered. "So, allow me to introduce myself as Valerie Grey."
"You know what that thing is?" Adam asked, staring at her more intently.
Valerie nodded. "Sort of, but I don't know if you would believe me."
Virgil merely scoffed. "Try me."
At That Time
Edwin Alva stood by the window of his home office, staring at the large crowd of protesters gathering at his mansion. He closed his dark eyes and hung his head low; he had barely came back from the Quantum Vapor that mutated several gang members, but now this newest abomination ruined his company in a single night to an unrecoverable rate. At that moment, his servant opened the door. "Sir, you have a visitor."
"Who is it?" He asked, not bothering to turn his head.
"He said his name was 'Daniel Luthor', and he said he has a business proposition for you."
Alva turned his head slightly with a surprised look in his eyes. "...very well, let him in." He answered as he turned to sit down at his desk.
The servant nodded as he closed the door behind him, just as a brick was sent through the window and struck Alva in the back of the head and bounced onto the floor at the feet of a stranger. As he hissed in pain the stranger picked up the brick. "Well, I see that I came at a...interesting time." The stranger said as he took a seat and set the brick on Alva's desk.
Edwin looked up at him as he rubbed the back of his head; he was taken aback at how young his guest was. He looked to be nearly in his teens with black hair that reached to his shoulders, he had a polite smile on his face and blue eyes that matched the dress shirt of his expensive suit. "Allow me to introduce myself," he said as he reached his hand out, "my name is Daniel Luthor, you probably know my uncle: Lex Luthor of Lexcorp."
Alva looked at his hand and shook it. "Edwin Alva, Alva Industries."
"I know, I saw the news." Daniel answered.
The older man narrowed his eyes at him. "Yeah...look the only reason why I was okay with seeing you was that you had a business deal for me. So what is it?"
"I want to buy Alva Industries."
Meanwhile
"So...let me get this straight, you came from a place called Amity Park," Adam started, "and you're saying this...'Stag Man' thing or whatever is a...'ghost'?"
"Yes," Valerie answered.
"And that there is an entire dimension of ghosts and occasionally they leak out into our world?"
"Yes."
"...Okay...so...where's the part when Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny show up and sing 'Kumbaya'?" Virgil said dryly.
"Then how else do you explain that thing that attack you?" Valerie responded.
"A metahuman," Virgil answered. "A Bang-Baby like me and Adam here."
"Oh? So tell me, in all your years of fighting against these 'bang babies' have you ever seen a mutation like that? Or anything else like that?" Valerie asked.
"N-No..." Virgil said, "but I know that place where I was attacked and my friend died. Who knows what they could have been up to?" He answered.
"I see. Say what you will, I know what I saw and I know what to do." Valerie answered as she got up to leave.
"Wait a second," Adam called out to her. "How did you know that the Stag-Man would show up in Dakota City?"
"I didn't, I got a tip." Valerie said as she left out the window. As soon as she hopped out her board came to her feet and she flew off over the skyline of the city.
Few Days Later
Magical energy followed out of Danny as Circe watched with keen interest as the glowing green gem in the center of his forehead pulsed with unnatural energy. "You're doing great, Danny," Circe said softly as he took slow breaths. "Feel the flow of magic, let it channel into and out of you like a stream." She kept instructing. "And...when you are ready, speak the words of power and create a doorway that transcends worlds."
Danny opened his eyes. "Klaatu Verata Nikto!" He shouted as dark green tears formed in the empty space that soon expanded to open a scene of a large city of marbled white buildings floating on a landmass expanded on the very air.
"Well done! Well done Danny!" She cheered as she kept clapping. "You have mastered spells and magic that would have taken a normal person at least years to even get the basics!"
Danny couldn't help but smile. "Thank you Circe," he said before turning to the city. "Tell me though, what is this place?" He asked.
Circe looked through the portal. "That is Azarath."
"'Azarath?'"
Circe nodded. "A boring plane of existence. A place of pure pacifism and tranquility, really the only notable thing about them is that they sealed the demon Trigon."
Danny stared at the city once more. "I think I heard of it," he said as he sealed the portal. "Or at least the word 'Azarath'." Danny turned to her. "I thank you for teaching me these abilities," he said. "I know my uncle is paying you well but is there anything else you would want?"
Circe narrowed her eyes as she made a seductive smile, before wrapping her arms around his head and bringing him in for a kiss. Danny's eyes went wide as the Olympian's tongue entered his mouth and caressed his tongue. She moaned in pleasure at that, feeling the inside of his mouth and tasting him for several seconds. Danny remained frozen in not just the suddenness of it but how pleasurable it felt for him before she stopped, a silver string of connecting their tongues before breaking being the only sign of what happened.
Circe laughed at his reaction. "I will take that as an advancement. I expect my...'full payment' later." She said as she left. "Till then," she said as she blew him a kiss, "Ciao."
Danny stared at the door blankly, still absorbing what just happened before the intercom went off. "Hello?" Danny answered.
"The raid has been successful," the voice answered. "The Facility in Alaska been destroyed and all-important individuals have been captured and we downloaded as much of their files as possible."
"Good, send me the files and interrogate the prisoners," Danny answered. "Once I'm done with the files, I will be down there to deal with the prisoners personally."
"I think you should come down here now, sir. We've found something you want to see and ask them directly." The voice answered.
Danny raised an eyebrow out of curiosity, "What is it?"
"They had something in their files a blueprint for something called a 'Fenton Portal.'"
The air grew colder around him as ice formed on the mirrors and windows. "I'll be...right there." He said distantly.
Meanwhile
In a dark room where the only source of light was the rays of sunlight that bleed through the curtains, the form of a girl laying on the bed could still be made out. The girl had orange skin, a trait of her alien heritage, with vivid green eyes and flame-red hair that reached just below her rear. She was wrapped in the sheets of the bed; she had been awake for quite some time but she just had a hard time finding the willpower to crawl out of bed
Starfire sighed as she pushed the blankets off of her, revealing her nude form as she sat up. Hair covered the right side of her face as she again sighed deeply. She's been like this for quite some time now. She got to her feet and walked over to her closet, which contained not only her copies of her uniform but a shrine as well.
The shrine was made with several photos and newspaper clippings featuring Danny Phantom, the Ghost Boy of the Teen Titans. The boy that she loved more than anything else on this planet. "Hello…Danny," she said as she allowed herself as a small smile as she looked at her favorite photo.
It was of him and her taken from the top of a Ferris wheel at the pier almost four years ago, when the team was still young in its creation. Their faces were close together as they were both smiling at the camera Danny had with him. That was an important day for her as it would be the start of many firsts for her: the first time she had cotton candy, the first time she saw fireworks and the first time she fell in love with someone.
She was being stalked and attacked by drones from unknown assailants around the same time her older sister, Blackfire, came to visit. The longer she was around the more it seemed like she was getting replaced, as everyone seemed to favor her sister over her. Beast Boy was smitten with her, Cyborg held a lot of respect for her, Raven enjoyed her dark nature, and Robin was interested in her martial art expertise. Most of them didn't seem to notice her growing depression, save for Danny.
Flashback
Starfire sat at the edge of the roof of Titan's Tower as she looked at the city, hugging her legs close to her. 'Everyone favors sister over me', she thought to herself. 'Maybe it would be better if I leave?'
"Hey Star," she heard a voice call out to her.
Surprised, she turned around to see Danny phasing through the roof and sitting close to her. Danny was one of the Titans who stood out the most. He had spiky white hair and green eyes that were quite literally glowing with power. He had a simple uniform with a black suit with white boots and gloves with a white 'D' on his chest.
"Friend Danny," Starfire said, "what are you doing here?"
"I've noticed that you seem upset about Blackfire…" He answered simply with a faint smile on his face.
Starfire hugged her legs closer to her as she looked out into Jump City. "It is not like I hate her." She started. "It is just…everyone seems to prefer her over me. After all, she is the better fighter, the better poet, and even is the best at the video games. She is better than me in every way."
"I wouldn't say that," Danny answered, causing the alien girl to turn to him. "Blackfire is different and interesting, sure, but I wouldn't say she's better than you. You have an important spot on this team that just can't be replaced, even by your sister." Danny said as he smiled at her.
Starfire felt her face turn red as she looked shyly down at her feet. "Thank you, Danny," she whispered as she could feel her heartbeat harder from his words.
"No problem, I know what it means to feels to be out-shined by someone close to you. So if you want to talk about it then you know where to come and get me." Danny said as he patted her on the back.
Starfire's face went red for a second as she kept shyly looking down at her feet.
Starfire put the photo back in its place in her shrine as she started to gather her clothes for the day before going into the bathroom to shower. In the end, it turned out that her sister was trying to frame her for crimes she didn't even commit. If it wasn't for a rescue by her friends spearheaded by Danny, she would have been arrested and locked away. Over time, her crush developed and grew to the point where she was utterly and obsessed with him.
He was there in her thoughts almost 24/7. He was there when she woke up and he was there when she went to sleep. She dreamed of him, daydreamed of him, pretty much the only time where she didn't have Danny on her brain was during missions but even then she would steal glances at him if only out of concern. Despite all the love she had for Danny, it tore her up when she found out that Danny had feelings for Raven, who had no feelings for anyone…and how everything came crashing down and ruined everything. Her thoughts were cut short when the alarm went off.
Reluctantly, she quickly dressed and rushed towards the main room of the tower to see what the problem was. Starfire's uniform had changed over the years; instead of purple, her clothes were white with black trimming, in remembrance of her friend. Her armor now extended to cover most of her arms and legs as well. Her hair had grown as well, not bothering to cut it, yet she still managed to contain it and not let it be a distraction for her even when her right bang had a habit of covering that side of her face. As she flew down the hall she stopped and instantly turned around to fly back to her room and retrieve a necklace from underneath her pillow. It was a simple one: a silver cord with a green star as its center. The centerpiece was cold, being made from an unnatural ice colored green, but she held it to her chest before wrapping the cord around her neck and flying back out.
When Starfire reached the living room the other Titans were waiting for her. "What is the problem?" She asked distantly. She hated being in the same room with them, she only tolerated being even near them in this tower because they were still working towards a common goal that is much easier to achieve together as opposed to working apart. The same could be said for all the others as well.
Starfire wasn't the only one to have changed their appearance over the years. Cyborg had undergone some upgrades to his hard and software, his red eye was now a bright yellow, almost golden. His metal chassis was more bulky and durable and the cybernetics was a darker shade of blue, almost like oceanic.
Beast Boy grew taller and started to cut his hair shorter. His purple and black uniform was now replaced with a white and rust-colored one, and he even grew more muscular and less lanky though not by much.
Raven still wore her signature blue cloak, only it had some tears from the harsh battles fought over the years; her hood still hid her face and she still wore a black leotard, only it now was sleeveless and was accompanied by a long-skirted cloth in front of her along with her hair now reaching down to just below her chest and tied with black braids. Though there were two new faces added to the team, to replace the spots left by Robin when he was reassigned to a new team and Danny after his disappearance.
The first was a pale girl simply named Argent, she had grey, almost silver skin tone with black, wild hair with her two bangs dyed a dark shade of red. She wore a black corset with a short red dress skirt matched with black and red boots. She was rather short and still a decently curved body. On her chest was a rough 'A' fighting her dark punk aesthetic. She gave Starfire a small smile towards the alien, Starfire gave her a slight nod as she couldn't hold much hate for the girl, it wasn't her fault that she had to take a spot of her disgraced friend.
The last one was a reformed villain-turned-hero, Jinx. The former HIVE academy student was given a commendation by Robin when he was reassigned; it was also approved by several important members of the Justice League after she gave detailed information on Head Master Blood's work within the school. Jinx's pink hair was tied with two black metallic bands into ponytails that reached the center of her spine. She wore a black bikini top exposing her stomach with a dark violet skirt with striped leggings that ended in heeled boots. Jinx's unnervingly pink eyes and cat-like irises met the aliens.
Starfire ignored her as she went up to Cyborg. "What is the problem?" She asked again.
Cyborg turned to her, before going back to the screen. "We have a message coming in from the Watchtower, must be important," he stated.
"Yeah okay but did you have to set the alarm off?!" Beast Boy snapped. "I nearly jumped ten feet in the air!" He said as Hawkgirl appeared on the screen.
"Hello Titans," she greeted. "I apologize if I caught you at an inconvenient time, but there is something we think we should share with you."
"What is it about?" Raven asked.
A map appeared on the screen showing several red dots. "We've been getting reports of a long-running series of raids of facilities across the globe. Normally, we would leave this up to the authorities or have minimal interest in looking into it but the frequency of these raids and the facilities in question are what got our attention and why I'm reporting it to you now." Hawkgirl explained.
"What's so special about the places getting hit? Some sort of labs or something?" Beast Boy asked.
"...Yes...they were...labs in a manner of speaking," she started, "though unlike most labs what they studying was more involved in the paranormal then we intentionally thought."
"Woah, what do you mean by paranormal? Like Aliens or something?" Jinx commented.
"Ghosts," Hawkgirl answered; immediately the majority of the Titan's stared in wide-eyed disbelief. "Yes. We think this may be a lead on finding Danny."
"Wait, whose Danny?" Argent asked.
Hawkgirl stared at the girl before turning her attention to the rest of the team. "You...haven't fully debriefed your teammate on the person whose duties she has taken up." She said with a stern tone.
"We...didn't know how to explain it to her, as we haven't received any new details on Danny...until now." Cyborg explained as Raven turned to Argent.
"Danny Phantom...he...he was the one who had your room until he disappeared on Christmas Day some years ago." She explained. "We...we never understand why." She said catching an intense glare from Starfire.
"We didn't know much about him," Beast Boy said. "But we did know that he was a ghost, or at least his powers were ghost-like."
"Invisibility, intangibility, flight; while he may not be a true ghost, but he had all the powers."
Argent stared on. "So...you guys have no idea why or how he disappeared?"
"None." Cyborg answered before Starfire was about to answer.
"Regardless, while I don't want to raise anyone's hopes, I think it should be important that we tell you this and send you what we know so far." Hawkgirl answered. "Hopefully you may help us as we don't have much experience in the League nor do we have any true, creditable professionals or experts on the manner. The only one we do know who has experience in these types of phenomena is busy investigating a probable case in Dakota City. Keep in contact." She said as the screen went out.
END
So...sorry for that the story hasn't been updated in fucking FOOOOREVVVVVER but I have been superbusy lately due to a bunch of family stuff. And I'm looking for a job which for someone who is just looking for a part-time job in this sort of economy is pretty hard where I live. So I hope you still enjoyed and I'm sorry for the irregular update and if there is something you want to see in the future then hit me up via a review or PM and I'll try to answer ya. Also note that if you have requests or suggestions for the harem then please do so also via review or PM, but note that more detailed reasons on why they should be in the harem the better it helps your chances of that character being considered. Hope you enjoy! Now onto answer your reviews!
Leaf Ranger:
So...would say it's a pretty good chapter, but admittedly...was pretty sad about gear's death. Remembered him in static Shock, and he really didn't deserve that. x.x
Still, not bad otherwise.
Thanks man, also thanks for BETA reading this chapter! Please support this guy by reading his own stories on his fanfiction profile!
Shadowdragondanny
Not bad hope 2 read more soon
Done! Hope you enjoyed it man!
UnsanMusho
NOOOOOOOOO NOT GEAR?! So I'm guessing that was Valerie who helped out Static?
Yep, that is Valerie Grey who helped out Static. You will see more of her and more DP characters in the future...also YEEEEEESSSSS! GEAR IS DEAD! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Siegfried Heller
Oh man! Gear is dead!
Yes he is!
Darkverger1
Wow this chapter was intense. I almost hate for that to happen to Gear but I guess he was expendable. I'm glad that you posted this chapter. It did make up for the April Fools joke. I admit though, it was a good joke.
Thx man, hopefully you didn't get too upset about that on and I'm glad it made up for it. Hope to see you in the future.
avidreaded
Can't wait for more cause like I said this is a really good story.
Well thank you for enjoying it! Hope you like what's to come!
SPARTAN-626
Well this is very interesting here. I wonder what Dan's plan was and if he was this beast or not? Nice to see Valerie here and wonder what her part here will be and why she's out of Amity Park. Wonder what the cyber arm is for and what purpose it will have. Quite the gruesome death there for Gear but well done nun the less and will get some attention now (chuckling evilly). Yes despite the shortness here this has made up for the April Fools chapter, I just hope the next one will be longer then this one. I look forward to see more and I hope soon.
I'm glad you like it, I figured that since I'm trying (keyword being TRYING lol) to make Danny Phantom/DCAU share the same universe roughly that Valerie would end up working with the Justice League in one way or another. Hope to see you again in the future!

Sorry for my irregular updates, hopefully I get in a better grove where I can try and pump these things out more regularly. Thanks for your support!

Addition for the harem
Superwoman: alternate version of wonderwoman who is evil and just as ruthless as the new Danny is.
Now I tried looking these up and I couldn't find it, did you mean 'Galatea' who was character in the DCAU that was a clone of Supergirl and was basically that universe's version of Powergirl? Or is this a different character that I'm too stupid to know?
nightmaster000
Awesome chapter
