Danny sighed as he laied down that night, ready for a nice restful sleep. After a long, hard day of trying to find a maximum amount of clones and later trying to concur his ghostly wail. His mind and body were aching after that. He rolled over on his side, ignoring the shot of pain coming from his diaphragm, and slipped a single hand under the soft, cloud like pillow. Surprisingly, he liked it here. He didn't have to do anything or keep secrets. He didn't need to come up with some insane lie for why he had a giant gash in his arm or a fractured femur.

Suddenly his ghosts sense went off. Frowning, Danny silently transformed and sank through the bed, the floor, and kept going until he was in the lab. The portal was open, but the lights in the lab were off. Furrowing his brow, Danny let the intangibility drop and began looking glancing around the room for any signs of spectral activity. There wasn't any visible signs of a ghost, but there were several toppled beakers and test tubes in one corner. A strange purple liquid puddle on the floor, and the bottom of Danny's boot when he realized it was there. Frowning in disgust, Danny lifted his boot and started to shake it. Once the liquid had pooled off Danny's boot and back into the puddle, he noticed a softly glowing figure under the table. Bending down, Danny crawled forward, so he was just at the table's edge. Tensing his muscles in case the figure decided to attack, Danny spoke softly and gently.

"Hey, you okay?" The only response he got was a sniffle. Danny frowned, and inched forward a little more, so his face was shadowed. Whoever it was, they were wearing all black, with the food pulled up to shadow their face. They were facing Danny, hugging their knees to their chest.

"Are you okay? Who are you?" Danny reached forward, gently pushing the hood back. They didn't make a move to stop him, but flinched when his hand brushed their cheek. The hood fell back, revealing the person's hair and face. Danny froze. The glowing being sitting in front of him, with a terrified expression, was Ember.
