The team, their mentors, and an irritated Phantom stood outside the old Freddy Fazbear's location. It was in disrepair because it had been abandoned for so long, all of the heroes got an eerie feeling from the building. Phantom seemed to be the only one that wasn't affected, he actually looked a the building with a strange sort of fondness.

He knew it was odd, and maybe a bit morbid, to like a place where the souls of children had been trapped. Nonetheless he thought of it as his home in a strange sort of way, after all he stayed there with the other kids for a while. It was also the last place he knew his suit had been, he had a feeling that it was still there, like his suit was pulling at him.

None of the heroes moved, they didn't know what to do, it was like they weren't welcome inside the restaurant. Then Phantom started walking toward the entrance without saying a word, the heroes glanced at each other before they followed him. Phantom opened the doors and the heroes looked around, the wallpaper was peeling off of the walls and the floor was covered in dirt and grime.

Phantom looked at Pirate's Cove first, then the main stage, then down one of the hallways to the office. He had a lot of memories in that restaurant, not all of them were pleasant but it had still been an important part of his life. Miss Martian looked at Pirate's Cove, "What's that?"

Phantom looked at where she was pointing, "Pirate's Cove, it's where the Foxy animatronic was kept."

Aqualad spoke, "What about the other animatronics?"

"Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica were on the main stage, Foxy used to be used for the shows but people thought he started malfunctioning. They kept him hidden in Pirate's Cove, the other three were always used for shows though."

That was when he felt like something was tugging at him again, it was like he needed to go to it. He looked at one of the walls and Batman spoke, "And what about the Golden Freddy suit?" When Phantom didn't answer he turned to the halfa, "Phantom?"

Phantom didn't seem to hear him, the others looked at Phantom who was staring at one of the walls. Phantom started walking toward it and the heroes were all confused, before anyone could say or do anything Phantom phased through the wall. Phantom ended up in a very familiar and dark room, he immediately looked toward the reason he came into the room.

Meanwhile, Miss Martian made a mind link with Phantom, 'Phantom, what are you doing?' She didn't get a response, she was already starting to worry, no one had any idea what was going on and Phantom was acting strange. All of a sudden Phantom phased through the wall again and he had something with him, he leaned it on the wall and looked at it.

It was an old animatronic suit that looked like a golden bear, Robin was the first one to figure out what the suit was and his eyes widened. Kid Flash spoke, "What's that?"

Phantom didn't take his eyes off the golden bear, "My suit." The heroes that hadn't figured it out yet looked shocked, Phantom removed the top hat from the suit and blew some of the dust off of it. "I missed this thing."

Green Arrow spoke, "Wait, you missed it?"

Phantom shrugged, "We're all attached to our suits, I might have almost died in mine but I still like my suit as morbid as that probably sounds." The heroes either looked worried or sad when they heard that, Phantom looked at the top hat for another few seconds before he spoke again. "I'm keeping this."

Artemis looked shocked and confused, "You seriously want to keep part of that thing?"

Phantom glared at her a little, "Don't insult my suit, and yes I want to keep part of it. I probably won't be able to keep the whole thing, which honestly makes me a little sad, but I at least want to keep part of it."
