You all were curious or at least some of you were

so here it is ladies and gentlemen let's find out who is blackmailing Mr. Lancer and why

Faves Follows and reviews are always appreciated so let's get on with the show

After Many Dates Danny and Kitty


"You saw it folks Co-leader of the Avengers Tony Stark bought the Action News Network the home of that inflated windbag in a suit Will Harangue finally taking him off the airways" Jameson said before clearing his throat "since than members of the press politicians and the Man of Steel himself have offered criticism of Starks actions" J Jonah Jameson reported

A clip of Superman appeared on the screen

"I believe that Mr. Stark as per usual for him he acted impulsively while I hold great respect for Iron Man and the rest of the Avengers for their actions in protecting the planet we are citizens of the United Stares and must respect it's laws I do not agree with Mr. Harrangues views but he has a right to speak them without fearing someone in spandex or a suit of armor will try to silence him"

After the clip ended J Jonah continued "well it seems like the Man of Iron agrees with the Man of Steel according to my sources the Action News Network was sold again to Mutant Rights activist Warren Worthington III" a picture of a well kept blonde man with blue eyes appeared in the corner

"Good luck Mr. Worthington you've got a lot of work getting your networks reputation out of the gutter Harrangue threw it into"


Danny flew through the air chasing after Bertrand and Spectra Bertrand carrying large sacks of money "seriously Spectra robbing a bank isn't that a little beneath your usual standards"

The evil red head looked back shooting at Danny "hey girls gotta make a living somehow"

Danny's turned his legs into a tail as he flew around the attack before flying faster punching Bertrand making him drop the money Bertrand's eyes widened before he flew down trying to catch the money

Danny pulled out a Fenton Thermos catching him Spectra growled firing a beam at Danny "you little brat"

Danny created a shield blocking the blast before he used his thermos catching Spectra Danny capped the thermos floating down he grabbed the money Bertrand and Spectra had stolen flying back to the bank


Bad guys caught money dropped off at the bank and best of all Danny was actually early for school for once Danny landed behind a tree in the quad transforming from Phantom to Fenton he walked out from his hiding place towards the school

"Absolutely not" Mr. Lancers voice yelled Danny blinked thinking he was in trouble before he realized Mr. Lancer was nowhere near him Danny deduced the open window was the source of his teachers angry yelling curiously Danny walked over to the window seeing Mr. Lancer pacing angrily with his cell phone in his hand

"I have done alot of things but I refuse to do that to an innocent student" Mr. Lancer yelled into his phone he was quiet for a minute as the person on the other end said something

"I don't care I won't do what you asked" Mr. Lancer said loudly "do your worst to me I won't expel Danny Fenton"

"What" Danny asked

Mr. Lancer turned towards the window Danny turned invisible so his english teacher didn't see him Danny walked away who was Mr. Lancer on the phone with what did he do for them and why did they want to have him expelled


"Expelled" Sam asked with a raised eyebrow "you sure that's what you heard" she Tucker and Danny were walking through the hall to first

Danny nodded "yeah I heard right Lancer said he wasn't going to expel Danny Fenton" Tucker looked up from his PDA "are we sure this isn't Vlad's idea he's been quiet since Gotham"

Danny glared his eyes almost glowing green at the reminder of Vlad using the Floronic man to kidnap Sam in another one of his join him or your friend will suffer plans

Danny got his temper under control as he reached into his locker and grabbed his math book "this isn't Vlad's idea besides he could just overshadow Lancer to get me expelled"

Sam nodded "true"

Danny and his friends walked into class strangely there was no sign of Mr. Lancer instead Principal Ishiyama was there

"Good morning students you are likely wondering where Mr. Lancer is" Principal Ishiyama sighed "due to a family emergency Mr. Lancer has had to take a leave of absence consider this a study hall period until a substitute can be found"

Danny frowned he saw Mr. Lancer today and even with all the times he's made the teacher angry he had never seen him that angry before 'somethings not right about this'


After school an invisible Danny snuck into Lancers classroom walking to his desk turning his hand intangible he reached into his drawer fiddling around with the lock until he heard the tumblers click

"Thank you dad" Danny said for forcing him to listen for an hour on how to pick a lock if he was ever trapped in the weapons vault

Jazz was still mad about him leaving her in there when Vlad tried to steal the Fenton Portal

Danny pulled the drawer open there were a few things in the drawer some pens a stapler a bumper sticker that said Freidkin University Parent still in the plastic wrap

Not wanting to think about the idea of Mr. Lancer being a parent he kept looking for anything that would give him a clue on why Lancer was told to expel him Danny kept looking finding an envelope with Lancers home address on it

'Huh' Danny thought maybe he'd find out the reasons at Lancers house Danny was pulled from his musings by footsteps Danny quickly pocketed the envelope closing the drawer just as Miss Testlaff came in with Mr. Faluca

Testlaff walked in looking around for a minute even making direct eye contact with Danny for a second Danny felt a cold sweat down his back as he hoped the rumors about Testlaff having thermal vision he'd heard in the eighth grade weren't true

But than again considering everyone he dated in the dating service he wouldn't rule it out Testlaff shook her head turning back to Faluca "no one's here must have been my imagination" she said

"You can't be too careful" Faluca said "with Lancer away I'm sure more than a few students would try to get revenge on him for his blatant favoritism" the math teacher added with disgust

Testlaff shook her head "you haven't been here very long this year and the last Lancer's been off with the students" she said before shaking her head walking out of the room followed by Faluca once the teachers were gone Danny became visible

'Even Testlaff thinks somethings off with Lancer' Danny thought looking at the address on the envelope 'maybe I can find out what's going on if I go to Lancers' Danny thought flying through the wall and through the air towards a place that Danny never thought he'd have to go to Mr. Lancers house


Danny made it to Lancers house in no time it wasn't more than a couple of blocks from the school phasing in and turning invisible once again entering into what looked like a home office the desk covered in students papers and office supplies

Danny looked over the papers some of these were assignments from when Jazz was a freshman 'talk about a pack rat' Danny thought looking through the desk drawers Danny has been doing that a lot today hasn't he he thought to himself

'And talking to my self is probably making me sound more crazy' Danny thought finding a photo album thinking it might have the answers to what was going on with Lancer Danny opened it

Instead of a picture like Danny was expecting it was a letter quickly reading it was a thank you letter to Lancer for helping the writer get into Harvard Danny flipped through the pages of the album there more and more letters all from past students of Lancers all thanking him

"Wow you think you know a guy" Danny said aloud

"Well there is the age old expression about judging a book by it's cover" Mr. Lancer said Danny turned around to see Lancer standing there Danny gulped dropping the album

"Uh hi you must be wondering why I'm here in your office looking through your desk" Danny stammered knowing he was caught but than he remembered he was a superhero and Lancer didn't know he was his student Lancer walked over kneeling down he picked up his album closing it he placed it on the desk

"I was at the high school recently and overheard your conversation" Danny explained "I know it's rude to eavesdrop but to be fair you were very loud"

Lancer nodded sitting down "I thought I heard something but I wrote it off as my own paranoia" he said "I'm glad it wasn't"

Danny floated up crossing his legs like he was sitting down "can you tell me what's happening and why someone wanted you to expel Danny Fenton" Lancer let out a tired sigh

"Rip Van Winkle it feels like so long ago though it's only been a year"


Ron Lancer walked into his classroom another year another chance to mold the next generation doing what he was best at teaching Ron sat down at his desk looking out at the empty desks that in a few hours would be filled with students ready to learn or as ready as most teenagers are Ron was about to start on some paperwork when his cellphone rang

"Hello" Ron greeted

"I know what you did Lancer" a disguised voice on the other end said making Ron frown

"Excuse me" Ron asked

"You know what I'm talking about I know what happened that night all those years" the disguised voice on the other end says

Ron's frown deepened how did they know no one else was there that night were there

"What do you want" Ron asked

"The football team the cheerleaders everyone of them they are except from punishment ridicule or discipline" the disguised voice said "if you don't than I'll make sure not only you lose your job but no one with the name Lancer ever get's a job in this city again" the person on the other end taunted "your son William is a freshman at Freidkin isn't he"


"And that's what happened" Mr. Lancer explained

Danny nodded as he listened "what exactly happened that this guy can hold over you"

Mr. Lancer sighed putting his hand on his face rubbing his temples "I'm not a perfect person and I've made mistakes in my life"

"Story of my life" Danny muttered quietly Lancer put his hand down nodding

"I was eighteen and I just got accepted into Friedkin university and my older brother Will wanted to go out and celebrate he even let me drive his car" Mr. Lancer told a nostalgic smile on his face thinking about when he was a kid that soon turned bittersweet when he remembered what happened next

"I was driving above the speed limit" Mr. Lancer continued "when something appeared in the road I swerved to avoid it crashing the car no one was hurt thankfully but damage was still done and we could hear police sirens in the distance Will told me to run and I did he took the blame I never forgave myself for that" he said Danny just floated there thinking

He knew what it was like to blame yourself for something that happened in the past Danny had a list of mistakes as long as his arm since he got his powers his dark self made the top of that list he had no idea Lancer felt the same about his mistakes

Guess what Lancer said was true you can't judge a book by the cover "did you see anyone else that night" Danny asked

Mr. Lancer shook his head "as far as I remember the only person there was my brother Will" Danny hummed in thought maybe Lancers brother saw someone "can you tell me where your brother lives"

Instead of answering Mr. Lancer frowned "why are you so invested in what's happening to me I doubt there's no ghosts involved" Lancer asked

"Because I hate bullies" Danny answered

Mr. Lancer turned taking a piece of paper writing down an address handing it to him "well than I wish you luck adult bullies are harder to deal with than the younger ones"

Danny took the paper looking at the address "I know" he said turning intangible flying off


Danny was about to fly toward Lancers brothers place when he stopped floating in midair what was he doing trying to solve who was blackmailing his teacher with a lead that was older than he was

Danny floated down landing on a roof he was going to need some help Danny pulled out his cellphone dialing a number he had in his contacts

"Hello Danny" Charles Xaviers kind voice said coming the other end "what can I do for you"

"Professor I need help with a case how quickly could you come to Amity Park"

"I can be there in an hour tell me what's going on and what you need" Professor Xavier said Danny quickly explained to the Professor what was going on where to meet and what he needed from the old telepath


Will Lancer was wiping down the counter standing up he stretched his back hearing it audibly crack oh man he was getting too old for this running a restaurant in Elmerton wasn't easy work but it's what he had plus it kept him in relatively good shape for his age unlike his little brother who had a big belly

Will heard the door chime making him frown the dinner rush wouldn't be for another hour

Will reached for the bat he kept under the counter just in case it was someone who thought he could get away with robbing him however Will almost dropped his bat in shock when Danny Phantom and an older man in a wheelchair came in

"Mr. Lancer hello my name is Professor Charles Xavier" the older man said wheeling over he held out his hand to shake "I take it you're familiar with my associate"

Will had to blink to make sure he wasn't dreaming seeing Danny Phantom in his shop when he confirmed his eyes weren't playing tricks on him he came back to reality shaking the Professors hand "it's nice to meet you Professor Danny Phantom"

Will said grabbing some menus "can I show you fellas to a table we've got the best burger in Elmerton" he said

The Professor shook his head "perhaps another time we're actually here for a reason"

Now Danny Phantom stepped forward honest to goodness Danny Phantom man his buddies were never going to believe it "we're actually here about your brother"

Will frowned a superhero was here about his baby brother the only way it could be worse is if his kid was in trouble too "what about Ronnie" Will asked "he's not in any trouble is he"

Danny Phantom nodded

"Someone's been blackmailing him has been for a while about that night when he was eighteen with your car"

Will frowned yeah he remembered that night after he took the rap for Ronnie so he wouldn't lose his place in that fancy school of his luckily he didn't go to prison he did some community service to pay for what happened

Afterwards Will did his best to put it behind him

But the record still followed him made it harder to get a job eventually with some help from a guilty Ronnie not that he needed to feel guilty Will was the older brother he would have jumped through fire for him because it's what brothers did he set up his restaurant got married had a kid had something resembling a normal life a hard life but a good one

"Yeah I remember that night about as well as I can" Will said Professor Xavier opened his mouth but his words were drowned out by guitar music Will sighed walking over to the stairs that led to his apartment "Becky practice in your room" Will yelled up the stairs "and make sure the door is locked"

"Ok dad" his daughter called back down before the sound of a door closing and muffled footsteps could be heard Will turned back to the Professor and the superhero "Sorry about that kids"

Professor nodded "quite alright I actually am the headmaster of a school so I'm used to noise"

Danny Phantom stepped forward "anything you can remember about that night can be a big help"

Will shook his head but that night was so long ago and his memory isn't what it used to be "I'm sorry but I don't know" Danny Phantom looked to the Professor "perhaps I can help" Professor Xavier said putting his hand to his temple


Danny blinked he the professor and Mr. Lancers brother were now outside on the street Danny looked around "where are we" Danny asked

Mr. Lancers brother looked just as confused looking around at the older looking Amity Park "how'd we get here"

Professor Xavier wheeled over to Danny "we're here in Mr. Lancers memory of that night" the professor explained Mr. Lancers brother looked around

"Your a mutant" he said already knowing the answer Professor Xavier nodded

"Is this an issue" the Professor asked Mr. Lancers brother shook his head

"I've got no problem with mutants"

'Well that's one way to look at it' Danny thought "so does this all look familiar" he asked out loud

"Yeah I remember this night though I've tried to forget it more times than I can count" he said pointing over there was a wrecked car and a younger Lancer in a Casper High letterman jacket being dragged away in handcuffs

Knowing the story Danny felt bad for Mr. Lancers brother the Professor tapped on Danny's arm "don't focus on the foreground focus on the background" he instructed

Danny nodded looking away from the scene seeing if there was anyone else he ruled out the police because he really doubted a cop from twenty years ago cared about Casper High or if the A-listers didn't get punished

Danny floated up there had to be someone Danny looked around there with a grin on her face was a blonde girl wearing a short red skirt and a white top

Casper high colors

Danny got a closer look at the girl before she faded away her dark blue eyes really stood out to Danny they looked really familiar

Danny looked to Mr. Lancers brother "that girl did you know who she was" he asked Mr. Lancers brother scratched his chin trying to remember

"I don't know her but I remember seeing her a few times at the high school" he finally answered as the memory faded Professor Xavier nodded gratefully "thank you for your time Mr. Lancer"

Mr. Lancers brother nodded "yeah no problem you just stop whoever's messing with my brother" Mr. Lancers brother pulled out a bat "and if they give you trouble" Danny nodded

"I get the feeling I'm actually a big brother myself"

Mr. Lancers brother was quiet for a moment then smiled

"Than I know you'll do the right thing" he said


"Why are we looking through old yearbooks again" Tucker asked Danny looking over his shoulder as Tucker used his computer to look at old yearbooks in his room

Apparently it was someone in the schoolbaords idea to upload all the yearbooks in Casper High up the fifties online so people can look at them and feel nostalgic well thank you whoever's idea it was because it made Danny's job of finding the creep blackmailing Lancer easier

"I told you Tucker we're looking for the girl from Lancers memory to see whose blackmailing him" Danny said Tucker turned around in his chair to face Danny "yeah but why are we doing this you don't like Lancer"

Danny looked at Tucker "it doesn't matter if I don't like Lancer or not a hero looks out for everyone not just his friends" Danny said determined Tucker turned around and resumed typing picture after picture flew across the screen before Danny saw her "stop" he ordered

Danny pointed finding a picture of the blonde from Lancers memories "whose Denise Bauman" Danny asked

Pulling up another tab Tucker looked her up only one result came up for Denise Bauman Amity Park Danny wanted to slap his forehead 'why am I not surprised' he thought


Danny flew up to a house knocking on the door it didn't take long before a woman came to the door "Danny Phantom" she said surprised she didn't introduce herself but Danny knew who she was

"Hello Mrs. Baxter or should I say Denise Bauman" Danny said angrily "I think you and I both know some people at Casper High" Danny held his arm out and Mr. Lancer along with some police officers stepped up to the doorway "like Mr. Lancer here"

Dash's mom seeing the cops tried to run for it jumping down from the steps trying to run through the street but Danny even at his slowest was faster quickly catching up to the middle aged woman holding onto her the police and Lancer walking over

"It's over Denise the police have already identified your number as the one whose been blackmailing me" Lancer said "but what I want to know is why why did you do it"

Seeing that she was caught Dash's mom snarled "because you ruined my life" she shouted "you stole my chance to be captain of the cheerleading squad and worse you got me expelled" she ranted "all because I wanted to have some fun with the losers with a harmless prank"

Mr. Lancer looked shocked and Danny wasn't surprised "that 'harmless' prank as you call it could have seriously injured several freshmen and you don't even care do you"

Dash's mom said nothing

" You threatened my family my brothers family and my son because of that"

"Denise Baxter you have the right to remain silent anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law" the police said reading Denise her rights walking her to the squad car

"Mom" Dash said walking outside "what's going on" he asked Denise actually looked like she cared when Dash came out

"Go back inside son everything will be fine" she said in a motherly tone as she stepped into the back of the squad car Dash didn't listen as he stepped outside towards his teacher

"Mr. Lancer what's going on" he asked before he saw Danny "Danny Phantom what's going on"

Mr. Lancer frowned "Mr. Baxter your mother has been blackmailing me to ensure you and other popular students get special treatment" he told the quarterback

"I hope you learn from this and when you come back to Casper that you become a productive member of society" Mr. Lancer said before he pat Dash on the shoulder and walked off Danny just flew off


"His mother was behind it" Kitty asked stupefied

"Guess the apple didn't fall very far from the tree" Danny said as he walked down the street talking to his girlfriend on the phone

Kitty giggled "so do you think Dash will actually change" Kitty asked skeptically

"I don't know but hey stranger things have happened" Danny said seeing Casper High coming into view "I've gotta go talk to you soon"

"Sounds like a plan" his beautiful girlfriend said before hanging up Danny smiled seeing Mr. Lancer by the steps as students walked in

"All right move along people" Lancer said "first period will be starting soon" Danny blinked it seemed like things were back to normal around here

"Mr. Fenton" Lancer said making Danny stop his english teacher walked over to him

"Yes Mr. Lancer" Danny asked

Mr. Lancer frowned "I haven't been very fair to you in your time here" he said "I'd like to apologize for that"

Danny shook his head "it's Mr. Lancer I haven't been the easiest student to deal with" Danny said his powers didn't make it easy for the people around him but even without his powers he didn't always make the right choice and it was the people around him who paid for it

Mr. Lancer smiled "why don't we agree we both have made mistakes and start over" he said holding out his hand Danny looked at it and shook it the two let go of each others hands "first period is starting soon Mr. Fenton I suggest getting to class"

Danny nodded walking into class


Sitting at the head of a long candlelit table Vlad smiled 'my my Daniel you've made some interesting friends this summer' Vlad thought 'but I have friends too'

Sitting around the table were Fright Knight Spectra Walker Aragon and Skulker Vlad raised a glass "gentlemen" Vlad began "lady we all have our differences but we also have one thing in common we despise a certain do gooder who gets in our way" Vlad said "Danny Phantom"

Vlad raised his glass "I propose we hit Daniel in his biggest weakness his heart" the other ghosts raised their glasses "to the Sinister Six and the end of Danny Phantom"

"Hear Hear" the other ghosts cheered


And that's the chapter now before anyone decides to flame me for making Lancer a nice person I didn't do that even Lancer himself said in the chapter he wasn't a good person but than again no one is all good or all evil

Now for my defense

Let's compare Lancer to Butch Hartmans other mean teacher Mr. Crocker what's different between these two characters

Crocker isn't really a teacher he just took the job so he could be around kids and their FAIRY GOD PARENTS

I've never had the opportunity to do that before it's kinda fun back to my point Crocker is a fairy hunter first and a teacher never Lancer is a teacher first he actually does teach Danny English and biology and math and he's the vice principal

Seriously how has no one compared Lancer to Barkin they both pretty much do every job in the school

There are also times when he's more lenient to Danny like accepting his extra credit in episode 2 or tutoring Danny after school during the Technus attack the big one is when Danny stole the answer key to the CATS which is basically that show's SAT's Lancer could have expelled Danny for that but instead gave him a retake with a different answer key

Now I don't know why in the show Lancer favors the jocks I can theorize and speculate but at the end of the day I'm not Butch so I've got no idea thanks for reading next time it's Danny vs the ghostly sinister six

Hope everyone stays safe

And

Excelsior true believers
