Hello my peoples, here's a brand new chapter, and I'll give you the key!

Just kidding. The keys are all mine. All the irons are in the fire now, and there's not a chance I'm givin this baby up! Nobody can change nor br8k my mind. At least until I myself change my mind. But so far that hasn't happened.

As per the norm, I own nothing, no characters no setting. All rights go to their respective owners, for if I owned them then this fanfic would never have existed. It would've been on television. Ergo, as long as I keep making this, unfortunately I own NEITHER Danny Phantom nor Teen Titans, much to my disappointment and regret. I wake up each morning, with a sudden and stupefying realization that no, t'was but just a dream. No, I do not own Danny Phantom nor Teen Titans, and it is a sad realization.

For both the third and the first time in one night, Danny shot up, startled awake as his dream came to a sudden and abrupt finish. He glanced around, happy to recognize his cheap apartment. He jumped at the sound of cracking and electrical sparks, realizing he was wearing a strange helmet that fell apart as he sat there. In no time, it was a small pile of metal and scrap. Super high tech scrap but scrap nonetheless. He lifted a piece, inspecting it closely. "...The hell?" He'd never seen anything like it, and it seemed very advanced. He realized, with a start, he could detect faint trace of ghostly energy, already escaping from the broken device and into Danny's room.

He stood and made his way towards his window and slid it open. Sticking his head out, he felt the cool air as he tried to clear his confused head. He stared out into the night, the only thing disupting his peace was something in the back of his head telling him something was wrong. He was unsure what, but there was definitely something...

He realized quite suddenly what it was. Nothing was disturbing his peace. Jump City was no New York, but it had it's fair share of night owls. Only tonight, there weren't any. There were cars in the road but they weren't moving. Lights on in the houses but no talking, no movement. He peered down onto the streets, his eyes flashing green as his slightly better ghostly night vision took over. There. Those dark blobs, pedestrians, lying down, sleeping on the sidewalk. Everyone was asleep. He switched on his cheap minuscule T.V. to the nearest news channel. Both the anchorman and woman were fast asleep, wearing the strange helmet, and judging by the fact the camera was still rolling (at a wonky angle I might add) he figured everyone else was as well.

"The hell...?" He muttered to himself, wondering if everyone else was having as bad dreams as he was. He smoothly slid out of his window, glancing up and down the streets to see if there were anyone else awake. There wasn't. He let the rings wash over him, transforming him into his ghostly alter ego. As much as he didn't want to, he wanted to see the Jump City in an endless sleep even less. And there were only one group (who were readily available) who could help him. He he slipped into his hoodie and pulled his hood up. He had to go to the Titan Tower.

Robin sat in the sick bay, after having moved all the other Titans there. They couldn't take the helmet off, or even go within six inches of it without being electrocuted. mini EMPs hadn't worked, nor electricity resistant equipment, or even just an attempt to brute force it. The closer they got to the helmet the worse the shock became. Robin sighed, looking to the Titan he sat closest to.

Starfire. He wondered what she was dreaming about. He remembered his dream. He had his parents, the Titans, even Batman was friendlier. A good life. He hadn't wanted to give it up, but, he supposed that was the point. A small smile adorned her features, a peaceful look. he silently stood and made for the sick bay door. Batman was in the main room, working on the Titan's computer. He didn't look up as Robin came in, instead getting straight to business.

"As I said, this sin't the first time something like this has happened. He pulled up an enormous list of names and dates, full of strange occurancces where masses of people would fall asleep. "Given the ecto-origin of the helmet, I've narrowed down the list to all events which were noted as ghostly in nature. The list shrunk, leaving only a few dozen events. Each of these were either quelled by super humans or stopped by other ghosts." He clicked a random one, showing a summary of what had happened and how it was dealt with.

"Why would ghosts help?" Robin questioned, almost reverting back into his ways as the curious sidekick.

"Some witnesses said they had done what they did because 'Their normal haunts were no fun when everyone was asleep.'" He paused, waiting for Robin's next question. Robin, needing to make a point, refused to ask it. "So what's different this time. Well, for one, whatever doing this is slightly more powerful. But the most important reason is because he is smarter. He waited until a majority of the Justice League was busy in space, then took out the remaining heroes first." He never looked back at Robin, continuing his explanation. "Our best bet if we can't find a way to wake anyone, we should head towards the epicenter of this wave, before it claims any more victims." He showed a map of the U.S., already over 50% was asleep represented by red dots filling it. A small green blip blinked on the map, somewhere in central America.

"Amity Park..." Both Batman and Robin spun around, simultaneously throwing a batarang and a birdirang at the sign of the sudden intruder. "Woah!" The floating intruder turned slightly transparent, and both weapons passed harmlessly through him. "Hey, what was that for! I was just coming here to see if anyone was awake, I need help. Well, more like we all need help, but still." He shrugged, eyes moving from the human traffic light to the Dark Knight. "Holy crap, Batman..." His mind seemed to stutter, slowly drifting towards him. "Man, um, can I get-" Before he could finish his sentence Batman cut him off.

"No autographs." Batman was short, instead taking in all the details of this floating being. A eerie white glow around him, a voice that echoed, and the occasional glint of radioactive green underneath his hood. The figure crossed his arms and turned his head, almost a pouting motion.

"Well then! I was actually going to ask for a pet bat, but now I don't want one!" Robin growled, recognizing the figure. "Oh hey Boy Wonder. How come you two aren't asleep?" Robin tapped the side of his head.

"Mental discipline, although I could ask the same for you." He questioned suspiciously, eyes tight.

The figure shrugged. "I dunno. Maybe I was scared out of it."

"Scared? But those dreams are specifically designed to keep you happy."

"...Then I dunno..." He looked away, not wanting to elaborate. Assuming a cross-legged position in the air, he continued. "In any case, I guess since rest of your team wasn't trained under the Bat himself, they're still asleep." Robin didn't respond, not wanting to give the potential enemy any information. "Ooookay, helpful, but I'll take that as a yes." He turned to the Bat. "Any ideas?"

Batman seemed to examine him for what seemed like several minutes, deciding whether to trust him. Finally, he responded. "One. We'd be able to do it if J'onn was here, he could slip into the dreams. Unfortunately he and several other members of the Justice League are off in space fighting an interstellar war." He made no real note of it as if it were nothing.

"Wait you need to get into dreams? I'm pretty sure I can do that." He interjected, surprising both of the Bat family although neither showed it. "I can take you with me as well. Er," he paused, realizing he'd never taken anyone else before, and had truthfully only stepped into someone's dream once. On accident. "At least I bet I can."

Batman's eyes tightened, sliding up to the mysterious figure like a shadow. The Bat held a glowing green edged batarang up to the figure's chest, not inciting a response. "This is an ectoplasmic batarang, especially made to deal with ghosts." The hood shifted up and down, a nod. He knew what Batman was implying, he knew somehow he was a ghost. "Now. Why should we trust you?"

"Because if I betray you you'll gut me like a fish?" The figure, now nervous, muttered to no avail. Batman said nothing. "Because I don't want to see Jump City sleeping forever." He gestured to the world map. "I don't want to see any of these places like that." There was a moment of silence that felt like years, but truly only lasted but for a few moments. Without warning, the Dark Knight, spun round, his cape swishing as he strode away.

"Follow me."

Danny was feeling many conflicting emotions. For instance, he feel elated, and very giddy for he had just met the Dark Knight, the Caped Crusader, the World's Greatest Detective, the- the- Man Of Bats! Batman!

He was also feeling terrified, unsure, and very, very protective of his identity, for he had just met the Dark Knight, the Caped Crusader, the WORLD'S GREATEST DETECTIVE. Either he was super careful or-

"So what's your name?" Batman interrupted Danny's deep thoughts, and he responded instinctively, not thinking about what he was saying.

"Danny." He almost slapped himself. "I-I MEAN... Dennis..." He stuttered, trying to cover it up. He couldn't see the superhero's reaction, but he had a bad feeling he hadn't fallen for it. The rest of the short trip was silent, not even Batman's nor his former sidekick's footsteps being audible. It was broken only by the door sliding open to what looked like a sick bay. Inside lay the rest of the Titans, all made as comfortable as possible despite the metal helmet they wore. "Woah, so this is what it looks like intact." Danny reached for the helmet, unaware of the dangers. His ignorance didn't last for long however, for when he got too close a bolt of blue electricity jumped out and shocked his hands, causing his hand muscles to spasm uncontrollably before he could pull it out of the helmet's range. "Ouch! Dammit," He glared at the helmet as though he could somehow reprimand it. Unsurprisingly the helmet didn't feel overwhelming remorse. "Okay, I can see why you need to get inside to work with it. You ready?"

Robin nodded at Danny. Floating next to both, Danny placed his hand on both Batman's and Robin's shoulder. Or at least he attempted to. The side with Batman met only open air. "No, I'm staying out here. Someone could attack, and I need to finish researching some things about whats causing this." he turned to his former apprentice. "Besides, they're your friends. Save them."

"But how? I thought that's why you were coming in?" Danny questioned, slightly confused at the turn of events. Robin spoke up, interjecting.

"We need to shock them awake, either with something surprising or scary." Robin looked towards neither, only the Titans. Danny nodded, it making sense to him.

"Awesome then. We'll see you outsi..." Batman was gone. Of course, the slippery flying rat that he was. Waaaay spookier than a ghost, Danny knew first hand. "Ooookay. Which one first?" Robin silently pointed to the alien girl, Starfire he thought he name was. "You think she's going to appreciate two guys in her at the same time?"

"..." If looks could kill, Danny would be a full ghost.

"Right. Sorry. Not the time. No more innuendos, especially about your girlfriend."

Gravity seemed to forget it's one job over Robin as well, and he began hovering in the air. Both gained a slightly translucent look to them as Robin finally grasped what Danny had said. "Hey wait she's not my gi-!" Without any warning, they dashed directly at and into Starfire, disappearing into her peaceful form.

The two fizzled into existence, looking around as they tried to gain their bearings. It wasn't hard, they were hovering right outside the Titan's tower. They gave each other a glance, before choosing the most likely place to find Star - inside the tower. They phased through the wall, Robin shuddering slightly.

"Tingly." Danny gave a light chuckle.

"Yeah, you get used to it." He glanced around. "Where is everyone?" Letting Robin drop, the Boy Wonder landed lightly, knees bent. Suddenly, the main room's door opened, the sound of laughing voices getting closer.

"Hide!" Robin expertly rolled behind the counter, almost unnaturally quick and silent. Danny chose the easier route, and just turned invisible, seemingly popping out of existence for anyone watching.

Through the door led Robin, followed by a hovering Raven who was enduring Beast Boy's constant jabbering. Cyborg was behind him, laughing at Beast Boy's ridiculous topic, something about how toasters would one day take over the world. A moment later, Starfire filed in, floating backwards talking to someone.

"The heck? Whose she...?" Robin, barely audible muttered to himself. A moment later and he was given his answer. From the doorway floated out a glowing figure in a hood, his face hidden but two glowing green eyes peering out from underneath and the hint of snow white hair poking out. He gave a laugh at something Starfire giggled about, his voice echoing.

"Haha good one Star." The voice was slightly off from Danny's, not quite right but it was close enough for both Robin and the real Danny to recognize. Once everyone had filtered in, Dream-Robin spun around with a bright smile.

"Good job guys! We beat those bad guys down. Now, let's all celebrate with some Graougbknerf!" The real Robin sweat-dropped at his strange counterpart's choice in food. Then again, it was Starfire's dream. The team all took their respective places around the room, Raven meditating near the window, Beast Boy and Cyborg playing video games, Starfire cooking... "something." Dream-Danny seemed to hang around Starfire, most likely due to the fact she didn't know what he would actually be doing, given the fact he'd never actually been in the main room with them. Dream-Danny was just a curious memory of someone she still wanted to be friends with, the first person kind to her on Earth. One that was fading, as evidenced by Dream-Danny's sometimes bizarre proportions and slightly-off voice.

To the real Danny this meant a lot. The fact she barely knew him, yet still deemed him worthy of dreaming about, of wanting to be his friend. She didn't even know his name, or what he looked like. All Dream-Danny was was what Starfire hoped the real one to be. "Hey Friend! Play some of this with me, BB's too boring!" Dream-Cyborg yelled out, demonstrating Starfire's lack of his actual name.

"Hey! I take resentment to that!" Dream-Beast Boy crossed his arms and huffed, indignant and using words incorrectly. Dream-Danny laughed, pounding one fist into the other.

"You're on ya over grown washing machine!" Dream-Danny dropped out of the sky, landing heavily on the couch and bounced the light Dream-Beast Boy into the air. To be fair though, it seemed like Starfire had dreamed up a pretty accurate representation of the real thing.

"Hey!" Robin hissed from his hiding place, hoping to catch the invisible ghost's attention. "We need to focus! Scare Star!" Danny nodded, forgetting his current invisibility.

"But how?" Robin had to stop himself from jumping at the quiet voice behind him. Danny blinked, an idea coming to mind. "Wait. Idea. You might wanna take cover though." His voice vanished along with his presence.

"Take cover? What? Hey!" Robin hissed as loud as he could, trying to get the attention of the disappeared Danny. Danny reappeared n front of the Titan Tower, examining the huge monument. He closed his radioactive green eyes, letting the energy well up within him. His powers were less like activating them and letting them out, he had to will them to stay in. When he first got them, they were unpredictable, always activating whenever his energy got too high. He directed all the energy towards his lungs, his throat, his voice.

And he let them all out. It exploded out, huge green waves pushing through the air as it shattered every window on the large tower. The occupants inside screamed as the tower began tilting, the force of his wail pushing it over.

Suddenly Starfire shot up, screaming as Danny and Robin flew out of her head. She panted, heart still racing. She didn't seem to notice Danny at first, focusing on Robin. "I was having the dream of goodness, but then there was ths horrible screaming..." She finally recognized the other presence in the room. Hey eyes widened, and with a squeal she jumped up and hugged Danny. "Oh Friend it has been far too long! How are you doing? Oh! What is your name? What is your favorite color? Would you like some Graougbknerf?" She barraged him with questions, not bothering to let him answer before she continued to the next.

"Uh, maybe we should postpone the interrogation until after all this." Danny sweat-dropped at the excited alien, comparing her in his mind's eye to how he first met her. Very different to the angry, warrior-like super powered girl in handcuffs. He wasn't complaining, he liked this version much better.

Starfire nodded in understand, only grasping she actually didn't a few moments afterward. "What is 'this?'" She tilted her head, reminding Danny of a curious cat. Robin interjected, quickly explaining the situation.

"There's a mysterious force putting the entire country to sleep, and we're going to stop it once the team is awake. We're diving into their dreams and waking them up." Starfire blinked twice, slowly as her brain processed this new information.

"Dreams..." A smile began to grow, her eyes shining as an idea popped into her head. "Can I go into the dreams of which you speak? I've always loved dreaming, and I think it would be glorious to see my friends'." Danny paused, wondering if it were a good idea. He gave a small shrug, unsure but needing to give an answer to the excited Tamaranian. She squealed, taking it as a yes. "Let us go right now! I cannot wait..." Her eyes sparkled as Robin turned.

"Well now you know what to do, and honestly I'm not too eager to go back in. I'll help Batman in his research, if he still needs it." Robin gave Star and Danny a quick look before striding out of the room. Star floated up to Beast Boy, looking him over.

"How do we do the entering of Friend Beast Boy's dream?" She poked his face twice, causing him to mumble in his sleep. "And what is the strange helmet?" She reached for it, stopped cold by Danny's strong grip around her wrist.

"I wouldn't do that. You'd be in for a real... Shock." She didn't get the joke. "A-anyways, let's go see what's tumbling around the green boy's head." Both, already floating, turned slightly translucent as Danny's powers activated. Starfire looked down at herself in curiosity.

"Tingly." She noted, making Danny chuckle at the fact it was the second time he'd heard it in one night.

"I know." The two disappeared into the green super hero. A few minutes later both Danny and Star shot back out as Beast Boy shot up in shock, spitting and wiping his tongue.

"No! I'm sorry cow! I didn't mean..." He glanced around, his eyes locking with Star's before their attention was caught by Danny. "Whoa... what happened?" He glanced towards Cyborg and Raven still sleeping in their beds. After a quick recap of what was going on given by Danny, Beast Boy decided the best course of action would be to fan boy over Batman in the other room. He dashed out of the room, eyes sparkling. The duo moved on to Cyborg.

"By the way, that was way easier. I dunno why Robin and I hid the first time, he just shouted 'hide' and I went along with it." Danny gave an embarrassed chuckle, Starfire giggling.

"Yes, Friend Robin is quite... the sneaky." She gave an almost proud smile. "I'd also like to know your name, Friend." Danny paused, looking only to their next victim in the dream invasion. After a long moment of silence, Starfire gave a sad smile. "I see..."

Cyborg was just as quick and painless as Beast Boy. "AHH! MY T-CAR! MY BABY!" He shouted, bolting up in bed. If he weren't mostly metal, he would've been sweating bullets. Seeing as he was mostly metal, sweating literal bullets seemed entirely possible, but alas he was not. His real eye was caught by Danny. He leaped up, standing in the bed and pointing an accusatory finger. "YOU SMASHED MY BABY!"

"Hey hey, it doesn't exist!"

"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT ABOUT THE T-CAR!" The two butted foreheads together, about to devolve into a brawl before Starfire interceded.

Friends, let us not fight! We still have to awake friend Raven, and I am the sorry to say, but the T-Car does not exist friend Cyborg." Cyborg blinked, realizing it was just a dream.

"She will one day Star." He placed a hand on her shoulder. "And when she does, we're keeping creepy guy over here away from her." He gave Danny a glare, which was happily returned by the hooded halfa. After a quick explanation, Cyborg joined Beast Boy in meeting the Dark Knight in the other room. Finally, after a quick sigh, the two moved to Raven.

"So, now for the goth girl's head, huh?" Danny muttered to himself, Starfire just barely hearing him.

"Yes, now we go in Friend Raven's dreams. I have always wondered why Raven is so quiet, but I know she is truly happy and friendly inside!" Star gave a bright and optimistic smile, stretching from ear to ear.

"Whatever you say." He grabbed Star's shoulder, and with a silent movement, they flew into her dreams. Dreams, they didn't realized, they could never have prepared for.

I wanted to include neither Beast Boy's nor Cyborg's dreams because there wasn't anything really important that happened. In Beast Boy's dream he was just in the Titan's Tower, everyone calling him cool before Real Starfire bust in loudly and excitedly. Danny later tricked BB into eating a hamburger, waking him up. Cyborg was riding in his dream car, the (not yet built in real life, still being worked on by Cyborg) T-Car. Danny smashed it mercilessly. Actually I had already written these dreams, but decided I did not like them and took them out. If you wish for me to post them in the author's note of next chapter, tell me. Also, if you haven't noticed, I realized my chapters were far too short, and now I am making them twice as long.
