Young Phantom of Justice *Adopted by friking-awsom-kitten

Chillin' & patrolin'

Amity Park 8:00 pm

   Tonight, it was pretty quiet for the most haunted town in the world. But Danny knew it was only the calm before the storm.
    Ever since the Accident, ghosts started attacking our world 24/7, and not all came from Fentonworks. It was really frustrating and exausting for the town's protector. But he couldn't help it. It was all his fault the Fenton Portal was activated in the first place ! Stopping the ghosts was the least he could do.
     At first, it was really hard. The other ghosts were so much more powerfull than him and he was still getting the hang of his powers.
     But, over time, he became stronger and more experienced. Of course, the ghost attacks increased and many still gaved him a hard time, but it was good to know the halfa was improving himself and managed to keep both humans and ghosts safe.
     
     That might be the reason Batman suggested Phantom should take the Team on patrol. And Danny, always glad to get help and spend some time with other teens that didn't shove him into a locker, gladly accepted.

     "Phantom, what should we expect from the ghosts ?" Aqualad asked when the Team arrived with their totally awesome martian spaceship. He needed to know what they were up aganist, to protect themselves proprely.
     "Knowing them, probably, anything" Danny responded.
    
       Since there were at least a few incidents daily and the invasions were a montly ocurrence, the ghost teen should have learned that, when dealing with ghosts, nothing was certain. There could be giant animals, floating objects, ecto-infections, and that didn't even include the real bad guys.

     "Well, since we're doing this together, you're gonna need these." Phantom said as he handed everyone some futuristic soup thermoses, identical to the one on his belt.
     "Oooh !" Kid Flash made a face. "How thoughtfull of you. You brought us all something in case we get hungry. You really are a den mother !"
      "What ! No ! These are Fenton Thermoses ! They capture ghosts !" Danny explained.
      "So, you made thermos-shaped containing devices ?" Robin asked raising an eyebrow while studying the device. "I always thought that was your lunch.
      "Actually, the Fentons made them. They're the geniuses, not me." the ghost boy laughed awkwardly while rubbing the back of his neck, an old habit of his.
    
     It was true. Mom, dad, Jazz, they were all obiously way smarter than him. He knew a few quirks around their tech, but that was because he grew up surrounded by it.
  
    Phantom cleared his throat, pushing these thoughts away. He had a team to teach.
    "The Thermoses work pretty easy. Just unncap, aim, fire the button, then put back the lid. But you need to weaken the ghost first, or it'll escape." Danny explained. "Any questions ?"
      "Ready, aim, fire. Got it." Artemis said confident.
      "I have a question." Miss Martian raised her hand. "How do the other ghosts look like ? We should know how to recognize one when we are searching the town."
      "Don't worry. All ghosts glow and they're not really stealthy, so it shouldn't be hard. Besides, I can sense them." Danny assured the martian. "It's really not that-" the boy was interrupted when a blue vapor was relased from his mouth.
     The ghostly hero then tensed, allerting the prodigees.
    Before anyone could do anything, a glowing motoelrcycle came out of nowhere and sped near the heroes, going over Danny.
   
     "There ! That's a ghost !" Phantom yelled after recovering quickly and flew after the motorcycle, not bothering to wait for the others.

     Breaking the legal speed limit, was Johnny 13, a ghost bycker that was in a bad mood  right now.
     "So," a voice broke the pale man out of his thoughts "back to dealing with a bad day by making others have a bad day, huh ?" Danny Phantom asked beamused with his usual sassy smile.
      "Isn't that what you always do, little man." Johnny asked as he tried to outrun the younger ghost.
     "Hey ! I only do that to the ones that cause the bad day !" Danny retorted easily catching up with the bycker.
     "You know I can't do that to my girlfriend."
      "Oh. So you and Kitty had a fight. Again."
      "Yeah." Johnny slowed down and stopped near a ligh post, leaning aganist his motorcycle. "She's just so selfish and annoying when she makes me dissapear. Now, she's practically using this power every time we don't see eye to eye !"
      "Have you tried talking to her ?" the white haired boy suggested.
      "Like heck I'd get near her. It's better if I just wait 'til Kitty calms down then give her a gift or something. Otherwise she's too persistent." Johnny shrugged.
       "Not as persisted as Skulker. The guy's been after my pelt for three years now and is trying just as hard as ever. I mean, gee, man, ever heard of giving up ?" Danny complained.
       "Yeah. Kitty told me that Ember told her that Skulker once got lost in his robot suit."
        "That sounds like him."
       "Not to be rude or anything, but what  the actual heck is going on ?" another familiar voice joined in, surprising the two specters.
        Oh. Right. The Team.
       "How come we're the ghosts and you're the one who keeps appearing out of nowhere ?" Danny Robin asked annoyed.
      "How come you're okay with the guy that ran over you not even five minutes ago ?!" the Boy Wonder retorted.
       "Johnny's not that bad. Sure, he's not that good either, but he's not evil."
       "Who are your little friends, little man ?" Johnny asked curious.
       "Johnny, they're Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Superboy, Miss Martian and Artemis. Batman put me in charge of them after I joined the Justice League." Danny stated proudly.
        "Hi !" M'gann waved her hand cheerfull.
         "Whoa, whoa, whoa ! The Justice League ?! As in that one famous superhero group ?"
         "That one."

          'What is going on here ?' Kid Flash asked confused through the mind link.
          'That ghost, Johnny 13, he's on the files, labeled as an ally, so they must be frenemies or something." Robin said.
          'Well, he seems like a nice guy." Miss Martian comented.
          "Except for when he ran over Phantom." Superboy growled.
           'I'm sure it must have been an accident. Nontheless, if Phantom is comfortable around him, we should not worry.' Aqualad tried to reason.

       "By the way, little man, I found out from Skulker that Plasmius been turning GIW bases upside down looking for ya. Guess you handled them on your own just fine." Johnny added.
      "Huh, guess he shoud've been asking the right questions to the guy that hunts me on daily basis." Danny said remembering how he spent the afternoon.
       "Yeah." the pale ghost agreed as he got ready to go "Anyway, I'm going to Lunch Lady's. Tonight it's the Flying Spaghetti Monster Special, so anyone who's got am afterlife's gonna be there. Wanna come ?"
       "You know I can't. There are always gonna be attacks. Besides, I gotta get these guys some action." Danny refused politely.
       "Whatever you say little man." with this, the bycker shrugged and sped to Fentonworks.
    
        The rest of the night was spent capturing actual evil ghosts, giant ghost animals and the Box Ghost.
         The tired Team left about at 1:30 am, dispite their protests, but Danny assired them that he could handle it by himself. He always did.
         After pulling out a fifth all- nighter in a row, Danny was exausted, more than usual. Luckly, it was nothing a nap during class couldn't fix. Unfourtunetly, mr. Lancer didn't had the same opinion about it.
