Prologue:

Danny:

I tried being a hero for a bit. I guessed that I was a bit naïve or that I didn't think that anything bad would happen to me. Well, that was a lie. I knew that something bad would happen- I knew that I would still get hurt, possibly killed and I accepted that… I just didn't think that it would be by them and the level that they hurt me- I wasn't prepared for that nor did I really accept it.

In a way, I guessed that I was pretty angry with them. I didn't understand why they would do something like that. Most of all, I supposed that it left me heartbroken and a bit empty inside. I should have known that it would happen- it was only a matter of time…

So yeah, I did try to be a hero once and it lead to nowhere. Well, it actually just led to the whole town hating me, my sister dying, and my best friends and even my own parents betraying me. If only the only thing they did was betray me- that might've made it a bit easier. No, they didn't just betray me. They locked me up inside the basement/lab. They experimented on me. They tried to end me- they tried to kill me. Then, they died… Not by my hands and I did try to save them… So having the people I care about betraying me, experimenting on me, trying to kill me, and then dying. It wasn't fun. Needless to say, being a hero sucked and I was done.

I would never go back to being a hero- it wasn't my job. I didn't have an obligation to save people. I tried to save them- yeah, and they didn't appreciate it so what was the point?

At least Jazz tried to help. She still loved me and she was probably the only one who ever did. Jazz, I thought sadly, I should've saved you… No, she wasn't the only one who ever cared about me- I was sure that Dani still did… I just didn't know where Dani was. I hoped that she was okay, maybe I would find her in New York City? I doubted it, but I supposed I could hope, a little bit anyway. Still, maybe it was best for her to not get caught up with me. Not to mention that I had one friend left that still cared- she didn't betray me. She did try to save me, even if she was closer to my sister. I should've called her, contacted her, but it would be best if I got out of Amity first.

Most people would consider me crazy. Maybe I was, but not for the fact that I was going to New York. I was sixteen and headed to New York City- a place where many people wanted to live their dreams… It was a place where my dream of being free and left alone could actually come true. I supposed the best part was that I knew all about the superheroes there so I wouldn't have to worry about a thing…

I stood on the roof as Phantom. The HAZMAT suit was very old, worn, and torn up. There were bloodstains on it- red and green- and stains were still forming as I bled. I gripped my side slightly where a wound was still fresh. It didn't matter how much it hurt because I would get away. I shot up to the dark night skies, faltering slightly since I was still injured.

"Look out New York," I whispered to myself as I flew through the skies, "Cause I'm free and I am done."
