Butterfly Effect

CHAPTER 01

I don't own the photos in this story or any of the characters except Chris.
New York City; June 25th; Around midnight...

It was the quietest night that the city has ever seen in all of its history. That's saying something since said city is New York City. However, considering all the attacks from aliens to ghosts to mad scientists, it was still nosy.

This unsettled the white haired teen who was standing on top of a random building. It was a fruitless night, no muggings, no heists, no diabolical plan playing under the city's guardian. He knew that he shouldn't want something to happen, but right now, he was itching to get to action.

He sighed, but no mist appeared reminding him that he had the power-restraining bracelet his partner had made. Speaking of his partner, who was the equivalent of a third sister, she turned on her comm link to speak to him.

"The PRD(Power restraining device)holding up okay?" She asked, obviously concerned.

He had started needing power restraints since he defeated Pariah Dark. He was automatically the king of the Ghost Zone, but for him to be able to claim his throne; he would have to reach the age of twenty-two. Which would be six years from this point of time.

Since the battle, his powers where constantly having unpredictable outbursts that would either destroy anything in a five-mile radius, or burn his body to smithereens. He called in an old family friend, who owned a huge company and was extremely talented in building pretty much everything.

"Its doing fine. But if no one shows up soon, it might burn from the overload. And we need to get a better name for it." He replied looking at the street below him, "How are the papers coming along? You know the whole thing with your company?"

She paused a little before replying "Technicalities. We will eventually find the right name. And it is crazy. Honestly, who keeps standing on roofs so much, that they left dents in so many places all over the city?" She paused as if realizing something, "Ummm. Legacy?"

"Yes?" He replied, stretching his answer.

"Where are you right now?" She asked, her voice dripping with concern. He had a feeling that it wasn't for his safety.

He looked at the building, and then realization hit him. He got in position to start running any second.

"I'm on top of Argyris Advanced Scientific and Technological Research Corporation. The one closest to the Empire State Building." He hesitantly replied.

There was a long pause. The longest one yet.

"Legacy. You know that I love you like the older brother I never had. But please get off of my roof. Like now. Or I'll send security over." She said pleading with him

Legacy smiled. He childishly replied, "But Relic-" He was cut off by a siren from a police car. "Wait. Can you intersect the police comm line? So that I'll be off of you stupid roof"

"They are heading to a robbery in a jewelry store. And my roof isn't stupid! Not as stupid as someone who misses a robbery three blocks away from him. While he is on one of the highest and most fabulous and famous buildings in the city that never sleeps," She ranted, somehow not losing her breath.

"We will discuss that when the night is done. I'll call you later" He cut the connection and flew through the city.

He was at the store before the police made it there. There were five robbers. They were holding hostages. Legacy turned invisible and intangible. He went behind the first one and knocked him out, drawing attention when his body fell to the floor.

As the three others approached, he froze the ground, making the ice crawl up to their knees. The last one had a look of horror on his face. He was backing away. What he failed to acknowladge is that Legacy had moved behind him. He punched him and the man; he dropped to the ground unconscious.

Legacy zoomed out of the store just before the police came in. He flew around the city once before he went home. When he got home, he landed in the garage. He then proceeded to go to the secret underground base. His outfit had changed since he left Amity Park. The Hazmat suite reminded him too much of his dead parents. They had died defending the city along with his friends and two sisters. Vlad masters died right after the battle ended, he died returning the city to the living world. Danny never liked to talk about it.

He took off his hood and mask as he changed back to his human form, then proceeded to go up to the actual house. It was a small house that Chris got ownership over on her birthday, the one just before her parents had died. He found Chris waiting in the kitchenette they had. Looking about ready to scold him for something.

"Danny" She said. Her voice was not angry. It was more so concerned. "First of all, why did you close the comm on me? That robbery could have been a distraction or a trap; you would not have known it. Second, why were you on my roof? Do you have any idea how hard it is to change those panels? Third, something was up with that robbery, right? It was a bit too normal for my liking," She ranted.

Again, Danny was baffled by her ability to rant without taking a breath. She has Asthma! How could she do it? He was brought out of his thoughts by something moving in front of his eyes. It was Chris's hand. It That was one of her habits. Whenever anyone seemed lost, she would walk up tot them, and wave her hand. If that fails to get their attention, she kicks their leg. With her metal-plated shoes.

"Yah, that robbery was too normal. We never get normal robberies around here." He said as he opened the refrigerator and got out a can of coke. "Five perpetrator, hostages, it was too normal. It's like someone set it up like that so that I would show up"

"Exactly, it was way too-" She paused to try to find the right word "unsettling. Maybe we should move. Like for a temporary vacation." She paused. "It has been quiet, and you need to blow off steam or I won't be able to make the restraints as fast as you break them."

She put a hand over her head as if she was trying to ease a headach. Danny frowned deeply. Chryssa 'Chris' Argyris, head of Argyris Advanced Scientific and technological Research Corporation, member of the Ancients, NEVER asked for a vacation. It just was not done.

"Is something wrong?" Danny asked.

She sighed "Yah, The Ancients sent me a letter" She said. Danny motioned for her to keep going. "They want us to be the participants in the Justice league's Celebration On the fourth of July. They said it has to be us because we are the youngest and because we are the closest to Gotham"

"Why Gotham? Whom will they set up to protect the city while we are gone? Isn't it a little early for Independence day? It's June twenty-fifth," Danny asked, not liking the assignment already.

"We are supposed to go to Gotham to help the Batman for a few weeks before attending the meeting. They said they will send some people to look after the city while we are gone."

"When are our flights? "He asked, knowing that the Ancients had already booked the plane tickets.

"June twenty-sixth. That's tomorrow, So stat packing your stuff. I am tiered. I am going to bed." She said, turning around and saying:

"Honestly? I think you and bat man will get along just fine"

"And why is that?" He asked.

"Because you both like standing on roof tops. Why else?" She asked as she began running away from a raving Danny.
