Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom or Teen Titans. If I did then it wouldn't be as popular as it is.
Story written & developed by Nightmares Around Winter. BETA'd by Leaf Ranger. Story based by 'The Forgotten Hero' by TheWhiteTitan.
Author's Note: Hello and thanks to those who posted reviews for the last chapter! Overall we had 25 reviews last chapter bringing the overall review count to 47 at the time of this writing! Even though the view counter says 48 but one review got split into two so I didn't think it was far to count them both as separate soooo...yeah. So that means the reviews for the reboot are already more than that of the last chapter which had a total of 45, so that is pretty big to me and shows that you people must really like how this story is progressing! So thanks again and remember: the more reviews a chapter gets the more attention I will give to this story, which means faster updates (or when I can given how it is nearing the end of summer and I will probably be out getting a job to pay for my tuition for college for another semester) and longer chapters! So once again thanks for everything and I hope you enjoy this chapter and thanks to all of those who reviewed and please remember to send a review telling me what you think of this story, which girls you want to see for the harem (those who go into great detail will have extra consideration), and if you want to know what the official harem list is then please PM me and I will tell you as I decided to keep the list hidden as to prevent spoilers. So once again thanks for your support and remember: More reviews=more chapters! :3

Chapter 2: Evolve
Danny stared at a large glass tank where his future body was contained. It had been three months since his arrival, and he had been under the careful gaze of the employees of the Lexcorp lab and his newly acquainted 'uncle'. His body looked much like his old human self, back when he was Danny Fenton. The funny thing was he had so long been in his ghost form that he had nearly forgotten what his human half looked like. Black hair, and peach-colored skin, though he had forgotten if he had blue or green eyes.
It was a month till he could finally have a complete physical form, or so said Doctor Ville. He still wasn't entirely sure if he could trust him or his supposed uncle but for now he would go along with them. Yet if he even had a thought that they were planning something he would make sure they wouldn't even live to regret it. He looked down at the floor, his open-mindedness towards actually killing another human was surprising to him at first, but he knew that it was because of THEM that he was willing to do so.
Once he got his new body and training, his goal would be to take that revenge he thought was previously impossible. Danny looked over to his right as the door opened and Blackfire walked in. "Hey!" She said with a small smile. "I thought I would find you here." She said as she walked over to the glass panel.
"Hey Blackfire," he greeted as he looked back at his body.
Blackfire looked over at the tank with a slight smile. "Just one month till you get to walk among us, you must be excited."
"Given how for at least four years I was nothing more than a brain in a jar? Yes." Danny said dryly.
"Okay, okay. No need to be an ass about it." Blackfire answered back with a dismissive wave of her hand. Danny stared at her for a moment before giving her a slight smile. Over the past few months, Danny and Blackfire had developed a more friendly relationship. Danny was, honestly, more than happy to communicate with someone that didn't involve experiments. "Can I ask you something?" Blackfire asked.
"Go ahead."
"What is the first thing you plan on doing? When you get your body I mean." She asked as she looked over to him.
Danny was silent in thought, "Hm...that is a good question. Why do you ask?"
"W-Well..." Blackfire said a bit uneasily which got him confused, she was usually so confident and calm. "I was thinking that the first thing you want to do is get a proper meal. Sooooo...maybe you and I can go out into Metropolis and do that? My treat, what with that pretty generous salary your uncle is giving me."
Danny stared at her with a small frown as he couldn't help but shake an all too grim sense of deja vu. "Sure, I don't see why not," he said uncertainly.
Blackfire picked up on his tone and frowned. "You still don't trust me? Do you?"
Danny sighed deeply. "The last time I trusted someone, I ended up like this." He said as he looked down at his hands. "A computer-generated image thanks to a consciousness that WAS Danny Phantom. So I think you can understand why I have trust issues."
"I know, but I want to prove that you can trust me. You just have to give me the chance." She said as she placed her hand against the glass. "But...why do you refer to yourself as Danny 'Phantom' still? I thought your name was 'Fenton'," she asked.
He sighed. "Maybe someday, I'll tell you the full story," he started, "but all you have to know is that I stopped being Danny Fenton a long time go, even before becoming a Titan." Blackfire frowned somberly at his answer, and Danny noticed her reaction. "I'll take you up on that offer, however."
"What?" She said as she looked at him.
"That outing to Metropolis, I'll take you up on it." He answered. "After all, I would imagine that after I get all my senses; the hunger pain would be the first thing I feel." He said with a small smirk. Blackfire smiled at his answer, both of them not noticing the camera in the corner of the ceiling.
Luthor watched the video feed from the computer in his office, a small but pleased smile on his face. His plan of having the alien girl and his nephew form a bond is going better than he expected. When he ordered Deathstroke or 'Slade' as Danny seemed to know him, he knew that Danny would naturally be hesitant to trust him and would be more than likely to abandon his plans for him if given a chance. So he had to get a familiar face to ease Danny's nerves, a friend from his past. However the only problem was that the only one actively looking for him was the Tamaranean Blackfire, a known criminal thanks to messages he had picked up from space thanks to his system of satellites that monitor for transmissions.
He was reluctant to hire her for the job but after hearing the extent of her desire to find him, he was convinced. In the end, it should work both ways, Danny would get a loyal, caring girl tending to him and Luthor himself would have Danny's loyalty; overall a win-win situation. Yet...strangely enough he also seemed to find some amount of satisfaction in seeing him smile even if it was small, almost unseen. He wondered for a moment if Maddie herself would approve of what he was doing for her son.
The intercom on his desk rang for a second causing the older man to press down on the blinking red button. "Yes?" He asked.
"Mr. Luthor," Dr. Ville said, "I need you to come down to the labs, it's urgent."
"How urgent?" He asked.
"Just get down here." Another voice said, causing Luthor to raise an eyebrow.
"Deathstroke?" He asked but when he got no response he sneered as he exited his office and headed down to the labs. As he placed his hand on the scanner, someone grabbed him from behind with a hand around his mouth and a clear barrel of a gun poking into his back. Luthor turned to his to see a pair of men with sunglasses and white, pristine suits.
"Come along with us, Mr. Luthor. No sudden movements and nothing will happen." One of the men said as the door came open revealing several men dressed in white and had guns aimed at several of the doctors.
"What is going on here?!" One of the doctors yelled.
"You're in possession of stolen government property," one of the GIW agents stated it was obvious that he was a higher ranking than the others due to a small green badge on his right chest. "This is a reclamation operation."
"You can't do this!" Doctor Ville stated as a man dragged him out of his office with his arms tied around his back. "Danny is a human being! How can you claim to owe a person? Alive or dead!"
"SILENCE!" The agent commanded as he slammed the butt of his gun causing the older man to hit the floor with a loud grunt.
"Doctor!" A scientist called as he rushed over to the man only to have a nearby agent tazer him till he collapsed to the ground with sudden and violent twitches.
"Agent I, Agent O. Get that door." The commanding agent ordered as he pointed to the door leading to the chamber where Danny's brain has been located.
"Right away Agent Omega." One of the agents with what seemed to be a type of advanced blowtorch said as they started to point the nozzle at the door and bring over blast protectors over their faces as a dark green flame started to cut into the door causing sparks to fly everywhere.
Behind the door, the two guards had their guns aimed at the door as the image of Danny appeared in the glass panel. "What the hell is going on?!" Danny shouted.
"The labs have been seized!" One of the guards stated, "They came out of nowhere!"
"They must have cut off the alarms somehow. Had someone on the inside." The other one said simply.
Danny was silent as he stared at the orange streak going down the center of the door. "Put your guns down and drop to your knees..." He said simply.
The two guards looked at the other before turning to the holographic image of the ghost boy. "The hell are you saying?" The one on the left said.
"We are under strict orders to protect your brain with our lives. Luthor's orders." The right one said.
"I know and I can respect that but trust me when I say that I can handle whatever comes through that door but you are going to need to listen to me and let me do what I need to do." He stated calmly as he narrowed his eyes at the door.
The two guards looked at the other one last time as the orange streak neared the end of the door. With a short nod, the two guards did as the ghost boy said and dropped their guns and went down on their knees with their hands up. When the streak reached the end the door came slamming open as several guards came running in with their weapons drawn with the leading agent bringing up the rear.
Danny merely glared at the white-dressed figures. The leading agent brought up a finger to his ear. "Target sighted, commencing retrieval procedure." He said into the earpiece as he pointed at two agents and then at the brain. The two agents approached the brain but Danny merely glared at them, focusing as much as he could at the two men nearing his brain. When they were about to pull up the glass container, they stopped and stared wide-eyed at the glass and slowly backed away from it. "Agent K, Agent Q. What the hell are you doing?!" Agent Omega ordered.
The two agents said nothing but stared wide-eyed as they pulled out their guns and shot themselves. "The hell?!" Shouted one of the agents.
"I don't know how you found me," Danny said, "I don't know how you infiltrated the labs or this building." Danny's holographic form started to glitch light as his voice became broken up. "But...I know one...thing: You're...not...taking...ME...BACK!" With that final word, the lights in the room exploded causing sparks to fly through the chamber. The agents covered their eyes and started to block out the bright sparks as a lilac-colored bolt struck the tank of the device that was used to open the door causing the majority of the agents to erupt in green flames and others to scatter.
"Get away from him!" Blackfire shouted as her eyes glowed a furious violet and her hands glowed with the same energy. The agents aimed their weapons at her when a series of gunshots went off and an agent went down with each shot, including the two guarding Lex Luthor. Agent Omega looked at each fallen agent in shock as he turned to the door where a woman in a black chauffeur outfit with a pistol stood. At that moment, the sprinkler system went off covering the labs with water as the strange green flames started to die.
Agent Omega sneered at the current situation but was soon killed when various shards of broken glass punctured his body. The other agents looked on in horror as their commanding officer got a final shard shoved from the back of his skull and through the bridge of his nose. Agent Omega landed face-first on the ground as blood gathered in a pool around his corpse. "We surrender!" One of the remaining agents shouted as he dropped his weapon and put his hands up. The rest of the agents soon followed.
It wasn't long till the two guards from Danny's chamber were finally able to leave the room as the flames died down and walked over to Luthor and the woman in black. "Handcuff these men." Luthor ordered."Take into the sub-basement."
"Yes sir." One of them said as Luthor turned to the woman. "Where the hell have you been Mercy?" He asked darkly as he narrowed his eyes at her.
Mercy Graves apologetically tilted her head. "I am sorry Mr. Luthor, but I heard of a forced entry on the 12th floor but when I arrived it was a false alarm. When I came back to your office I saw that you were gone and came here as soon as I could," she explained as Blackfire came over.
"Enough of that, how's Danny?!" She asked worriedly.
Luthor turned to the guard as they marched a few of the G.I.W. agents out of the back door. "Is Danny harmed?" He asked.
"No sir, but...um...good luck trying to talk to him." The other guard said as he pointed to the chamber.
Blackfire flew into the chamber and gasped as she saw a white mist surrounding the container and the only remains of the glass panel were the broken pieces near the body. Blackfire looked to the back and saw Luthor, Mercy, and Dr. Ville who was rubbing the back of his head that had been struck early before. "The glass panel is shattered." Blackfire stated, "I think Danny somehow used it to kill that guy."
"Poltergeist," Dr Ville said. "He has become a Poltergeist."
"A what?" Luthor asked as he turned to him.
"When I was a child, my grandmother used to tell me stories about ghosts called 'Poltergeist' from when she was a child in Berlin before she fled during the rise of the Nazi Party." He started. "Ghosts with great power that their very presence will cause objects to shatter and levitate and food to rot and decay and people to go mad with fear." He said as he approached the brain-tank. "Of course, those were just superstition and ghost stories but...it is clear that Danny has some telekinetic powers." He stared at the brain intently. "Can you hear me? Danny? Do something if you can?" He asked.
After a brief pause, the sound of wet gurgling could be heard from behind. They turned and instinctively gasped and prepared themselves as the glass-ridden corpse of Agent Omega rose to its feet and started to shuffle toward them. Blackfire aimed a glowing pulse at the corpse only to be stopped by Luthor. "Wait!" He ordered. Blackfire glared at the bald man but stared as the corpse turned to the wall and started to dip its finger in its blood and write something on the wall. With a few strokes, the corpse collapsed to the ground with the message "I am fine" written on the wall.
The people in the group turned to Danny's brain in astonishment. "Amazing!" Dr. Ville said. "This requires immense studying and research!" He said enthusiastically as he started to pace. "We are also going to have to acquire other sensors and when Danny is in his body we are going to have to do some DNA readings to see where and how this ability came to be and-."
"Maybe you should start with a new lab?" Blackfire interrupted as she turned to Lex with a deadpanned stare. "If these people are with GIW and if they could break in so easily then Danny has to be moved. Someplace more secret until his body is finished.
Luthor was silent as she contemplated her words as he rubbed his chin in thought. "You're right, but how did they fake Deathstroke's voice?"
"One of the men who were incinerated by Blackfire's blast on that fuel tank had a device that allowed them to fake mine and then Mr. Deathstroke's voice." Dr. Ville answered. "I don't even know how they could have even entered without triggering an alarm...unless they had some sleeper agents in among the staff."
"Then when we move Danny it's going to have to be a top-secret location. A place only a handful of people know and even then we have to make sure they are trustworthy." Blackfire stated.
"I know of a place," Luthor answered. "It has a fully equipped lab and a small on-site division that I selected myself. Totally off the map and known only to myself. The problem is that it will not allow us to communicate with Danny properly until he is in his body." He said with a smirk. "Luckily, most of the work has been done and all we have to do is wait."
END
So here's some responses to the reviews I've had on the last chapter, as often as I try to send PMs to those people I tend to either overlook some or they don't have an actual profile for me to send a PM to oooooor they disable PMs which is kinda annoying but I guess I could see why they would want that feature disabled. Anywho, I'm going to try to answer as many as I can. Thanks again for your reviews and please don't be afraid to leave more reviews in the near future. ;D
Start of Review Responses.
Leaf Ranger: I have nothing against Jinx but one thing always confused me about her: Are her abilities actually magical in nature? Or is it a kind of mutation? Similar to how Scarlet Witch from the Marvel Universe abilities are a result of her being a mutation like her brother Quicksilver's super-speed or her father Magento's power over metal and magnetism? If that's the case, I don't really think she she can usually teach Danny how to use them buuuuuuuuut like I said, 'I have nothing against her being in the harem.' but this is really just something I was wondering about before I get to writing about her.
Samhain Otsutsuki: Thank you! If you really want to know what is going to happen into the future...well...you will have to send me a PM if you REALLY want to know. Just note that it is going to contain some spoilers.
Richard1081: Well I tried to make it something that was both surprising and made somewhat sense, since crossover-writing was something I generally avoided as I didn't think I have a knack for it and I read a lot of really, really, REALLLLLLY bad ones that kinda left a bad taste in my mouth but there have been some really good ones like the one this story is based on and Leaf Ranger (the guy who BETA reads my stories) has a library full of crossovers that have been getting some positive feedback if you are so interested. As for your girl choices, I assume the first one you are talking about is Desiree, since some of it was cut off, and honestly I could easily see her in the harem. The second one, Dora, would be fun to do as she doesn't have a lot of stories about her in the DP section of this site and since I'm trying to meld her and the DC universe, I can see doing some fun things with her!
dragonlord1337: Well I'm glad that you enjoyed the original and so far are also liking the reboot and I hope will continuing to do so! Anyway, I also wanted to do somethings differently and while I won't go into any major points in Danny's 'evolution' but let's just say check out some ghostly folklore or movies about that sort of thing and you may get an idea. ;]
coldblue: Thanks! I'm glad you like how I'm trying to go into more depth into Danny's transforming instead of just skipping ahead to Danny already in his new villainous persona. So far your harem choices, you pretty much on the nose with 1 and 2 as I made it no secret that this story is similar to the story it was based on, so Starfire is in and I already introduce Blackfire in both versions so I might as well keep her in. As for 3, Jinx, it is something I will consider in the future. Cheshire, your number 4, is cool but I will have to consider which version I'm going to have to take on and how to incorporate said version. For number 5, I agree that there are a LOT of stories pairing up Ember, Desiree and Kitty (though I'm not to certain on the number of Dora/DP fanfics) but I did kinda like how Pandora looked and thought she could be kinda cool. Soooo maybe?
nightmaster000: Thanks! As I said before I wanted to do something unexpected but something that could make sense in this kind of universe.
SPARTAN-626: I'm glad that you like it so far! And yes, Danny's new body will have some genetic enhancements and the mutation to his ghost DNA (or GNA or maybe ENA for 'E' for Ectoplasmic or something? LOL) will also given him some added but unforeseeable results. Also, could you remind me what your list was? I think it got deleted in the last story and not too mention I have terrible memorization skills. Plus, you could have come up with a few more girls to add to the list after this chapter. Hmmmmmm? *wink, wink, nudge, nudge*
TheMage22: No promises, but you know what would heeeeeelp? More reviews of course! *evil smile while laughing softly to myself*
BringbackDannyPhantom: First off, love your Penname, great show but kinda cut short with a decent but a bit forced ending. Second, I'm glad you loved the changes done to the story so far!
Haremfanatic1234: Well I don't mind having long reviews, especially if it's long because of heavy detailed reason as for why certain girls should be in the harem or just an overall review of the chapter and what was good or bad (note constructive criticism is welcomed but flames will be read to myself in overly whiny and high-pitched voice for my amusement HAHAHAHAHAHA! so nothing wrong with that. I will say Danny's transformation will make him a dark and terrifying force to be reckon with, I can't go into a lot of details without being spolier-ish.
As for your harem choices, I do have a one question: who the hell is Blair? I tried looking her up in the DC data-base and some DC wikis but I couldn't find her. If you can tell me who she is or where I could find something about her that would be awesome. Anyway, for your other choices I do love the reasons for them and even your picks in general but I don't really see an evil manifestation of Raven working when I can just do the more simple and more effective means of just simply adding Raven and having her becoming corrupt. But once again the other girls will be considered! And I would love to see more of your reviews in the future! :D
Harry Uchiha Potter: Danny's main goal, or as least the ones that I think are safe for me to say without really spoiling much, is to get revenge on the Titans for what they did to him and to either physically, mentally and even emotionally torment members of similar groups, the Justice League including. So I would say some of those will be stealing away certain love ones from other heroes and even allying himself with certain members of certain heroes rogue galleries to do so. Sooooo don't be surprised if what you wish happens.
DarkLord98: Yes, yes it does though I may have to come up with a different name for them outside of 'The Team' or 'The Young Justice League.' Also, yes Superboy does exist and him and Danny have...interesting dialogue.
TheWhiteTitan:
The hours approaching, just give it your best
And you've got to reach your prime
That's when you need to put yourself to the test
And show us a passage of time
We're gonna need a montage
(Montage)
Ooh it takes a montage
(Montage)
Show a lot of things happening at once
Remind everyone of what's going on
(What's going on?)
And with every shot you show a little improvement
To show it all would take to long
That's called a montage
(Montage)
Oh we want montage
(Montage)
Sorry, I couldn't resist! LOL, anyway serious answer: There will be a chapter dedicated to while not necessarily showing him training but exploring what Slade's training is like, along with other things, that will show how Danny ultimately became the villain/mercenary he is later on.
emilbootanimefreak: I love the idea of Danny becoming the DC version of Doctor Doom in this story that I now made him a super genius! :D thanks for the idea and I hope you will continue to leave reviews in the future! I mean, I was originally going to just have him be a magical-focused character and he still is but he will now have more of a scientific and inventive abilities, I mean he is now confirmed to be the nephew and heir to Lex Luthor so it should make sense for him to be a prodigy in science and skilled inventor.
tylerbamafan34: um...not really...because I haven't really played it...sorry!
Zerohero: Thanks!
Homemadeplanet0: How excited? :D
cheerfullygrim: Thanks!...also is this soon enough? LOL.
Silver crow: Thank you! I tried to make it different!
Isom: Once again, thank you for your support and I love your picks for the harem. Though the only one I have a problem with is Batgirl and not really about the girl in question but rather the means you offered, I mean James Gordon IS the Commissioner of Police, not some cop on the beat, so I think for a corrupted cop to just shot him and get off on minor punishment for all things considering is a bit unlikely, especially if the force was incredibly corrupted because Gordon is fairly popular figure to the public so they would obviously would flip their lid if the guy who killed him got off easy.
haywireseagull: I don't think I am spoiling anything if I confirmed Starfire is in the harem as it was both in the previous story and the original story 'Sins' was based on by TheWhiteTitan.
Wingd knight: I thought Galactica WAS Powergirl? Or at least for that show as Powergirl was more physically matured clone of Supergirl? Note that I could be wrong. Overall good choices and I will consider them! I would image Superman would be a mixed of surprised, confused and overall very suspicious, Batman would have a more neutral approach but will still consider him a subject of investigation while Vlad...well...he would have so many questions and may have to be afraid for his own safety and maybe a little bit jealous?
Dialga213: Yes, he will develop more ghost powers and some more of a...nightmarish quality. And thank you for your support.
StarWing1995: I've heard of it and while I love video games and all, the only computer I have at the moment is a laptop that is a bit...off ever since it survived a house far about a year or two ago. So really I don't think it could handle a big MMO like that. Sorry. But I do, however, have a game called Smite which is a MOBA similar to League of Legends that is good. So if you want you can try to find me on there with the gamertag 'NaWDorky'.
Guest: Well...since you asked so nicely...maaaaaybe? *troll face*
Zer0the0mega108: While I have nothing against Spawn, I'm afraid that his look isn't exactly what I had in mind. If you want to know that all I can say is that it's a little bit of a mix between Mortal Kombat 9 Ermac's alternative costume, The Winter Solider from Captain America: Winter Solider.
Story Artist: *sighs* Those stories where sadly deleted by the admins for having chapters that were 'announcement, notices and polls.' In other words even though I had several chapters that continued the story they decided that it was still in violation of there terms and guidelines and had them deleted regardless of how many story-driven chapters, reviews or even faves or follows a story had. But I am at least planning on rewriting first male nin, since I didn't bother to save the chapters somewhere else. I apologize but the deletion of those stories were out of my hands and the same has been down to Fox Boss who I shared my story with.
END of Review Responses.
Anyway, Thanks to your reviews and I hope to see more of reviews in the future and please remember to leave suggestions for girls in the harem via a review and note that detailed reasons will be given extra consideration and those who do not and if you want to know what the official list looks like as of now then send me a PM asking for the list as I am trying to keep it a bit private so I wouldn't spoil anything. I am sorry that the actual story part of this chapter is kinda short but due to several of my stories getting deleted I was honestly a bit distraught and tired. Next chapter will have a longer story to it. Thanks again for your support! And remember: more Reviews=more chapters.
