Thought I'd start writing again since it seems kinda therapeutic, let's hope it doesn't suck tho *nervous laugh*
Okay, enjoy (?)

Danny awoke with a start. He was shaking, his shirt was covered in sweat, and he felt suffocated. With dazed eyes, he looked around.

Where… am I? Danny asked, looking at his hands in confusion. No gloves. Just his shaking, ungloved hands. A sound made itself known in the distance and Danny tensed, clenching fists and turning his head every which way to find the noise. When he saw a mouse at the corner of the room, he relaxed. I'm safe now, he chanted to himself as he took deep breaths and lied back down. They are not here. I'm safe. He kept going at it until his eyes closed again and soon, he was asleep.

There were birds chirping when Danny woke up again. Lifting himself up from the floor into a sitting position, he looked at the small, tiny window in his makeshift home. The sky was grey with the hint of the sun, and exhaust from cars streamed in. The city was already awake.

Danny stretched before standing up. He kicked his singular blanket into a tight ball and pushed it into the backpack he had used as a pillow the night before. Running his hands through the small portion of his head that wasn't tangled, Danny scaled the old wall before dropping out of the windowsill less than gracefully. Sharp pain shot up his leg upon landing, and he sighed before leaning against the outer wall and focusing the cold in his core to his leg. Within a few minutes, the leg stopped hurting, and Danny continued on his way through Jump City.

The sun was high by the time Danny had stumbled his way into Jump City park. He was swaying on his feet and barely made it to a tree close to the foot of a hill before he simply plopped down on it and let the dirt cool his cheek. Feeling the weight of his pack on his back, Danny removed the bag from his shoulders and rested his head on it.

He didn't know how long he spent dozing in and out of consciousness before he was awoken with a start by having someone fall on top of him. Fearing for his life, Danny grabbed the person and rolled out from under them before pinning them into the grass. The person, who had green skin, Danny noted after his heart stopped racing as fast, held a frisbee in their hands. Danny loosened his grip slightly. He'd probably hurt someone who was simply playing with friends. The guit clawed at his chest as he promptly let go and scooted back slightly, taking care to grab his bag and hug is protectively.

"Dude!" The stranger called out as they sat up. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to trip over you!" Danny tensed his shoulders and tried to force out words. Breathe, Fenton, he reminded himself.

"Ah… I, I-I, I'm s-sorry for pinning you down like that," Danny forced out scratchily. "Y-you s- you- you startled me." The stranger rubbed his neck sheepishly.

"I didn't see you on the floor." They admitted, and Danny nodded. Then, they cocked their head. "Why were you on the ground? There's benches around, and the top of the hill is a lot smoother. There's less grass." Danny looked up from his banges to make eye contact for a quick second before looking away.

"I was tired…" Danny admitted. He clenched his fists and looked away. There was more, f course. Tired, dazed, laying himself out to be attacked already… The stranger's voice brought him back and he tensed.

"Oh! I'm Beastboy, by the way. What's your name?" Beastboy asked, and Danny made a small, polite smile.

"Danny." He muttered. He was going to ask Beastboy if he needed to get back to his friends, but before he could talk a voice interrupted him.

"Bestboy!" Someone called out, and both danny and Beastboy turned their heads around. A group of people were coming towards the two, and Danny, instinctively, stood up in a defensive pose. Beastboy stood up also and waved at the group.

"Hey guys! Meet my new friend! His name's Danny!" Danny sighed from where he stood. He just wanted to sleep on the grass. Not have to greet people. Danny spared a small glare from the corner of his eye at Beastboy, who either didn't notice the glare or ignored it.

A guy that looked like a walking traffic light took the lead of the group and outstretched his hand as if to shake Danny's. Danny kept both his hands wrapped around his bag protectively. After a few seconds, the traffic light guy dropped his green gloved hand and settled for a polite smile.

"I'm Robin, leader of the Teen Titans. Pleasure to meet you, Danny. These are Raven, Starfire, and Cyborg." Danny nodded absently. He felt a chill down his spine. True, he /always/ felt a chill down his spine, but this was a different chill than the high alert chill he always had. This was-

Blue mist escaped his mouth.

As if on cue, the park seemed to turn dark and objects started to float. Civilians were screaming. Danny put his bag on his back and turned around defensively, not at all shocked or confused, unlike the Titans. A nasally voice sprung up loudly.

"Beware! For I am the Box Ghost!" Danny took a deep breath and turned around to face the noise with a tired facial expression.

"Boxy," Danny monotoned, clearly unamused by his old enemy's arrival. "Why are you here? I specifically told you to stop bothering me since I wasn't in the mood." The Titans looked on in confusion, before Robin snapped back.

"Titans, go!" Robin tried to punch Box Ghost, only to find his fist when right through the specter in question. Danny sighed.

"Box Ghost. Please." Danny droned on. "I'm tired. You're tired. We're all tired. Just, go back to the Ghost Zone." The Box Ghost wiggled his fingers.

"Beware! For I, the Box Ghost, a going to make-" He looked around. "What is this place called?"

"Jump City." Danny replied calmly as Raven tried to hit Box Ghost with a picnic table.

"-Jump City, into my new cardboard metropolis!" Danny looked on.

"Look, Boxy, that's… cute, and all, but as I already mentioned-" Danny's hands lit up with bright green energy- "I'm not in the mood!" The Box Ghost yelped as Danny's hands seared his arms, and with the blink of an eye, Box Ghost was thrown through a green portal and disappeared, presumably back to where he came from.

The sky became blue again and the few boxes that were floating in the air dropped down. Danny rubbed his temples.

"I /asked/ him /nicely/ to go away, but does he listen? No, he doesn't, why would he?" Danny muttered before turning around to face the Titans. Staring down Robin's bo-staff irately, he made strong, daring eye contact with Robin. Robin put the staff down, and raised his hand for everyone to do the same. Danny looked away and shrunk back.

Nervous laughter attempted to cover up his shaking. Nobody was fooled or even distracted by the laughter.

"I… Guess I have a lot to explain, huh?" Danny asked. Robin didn't respond and instead motioned for Cyborg to grab Danny. Danny tensed and stepped back before critically inspecting what Cyborg was doing. Relaxing, Danny simply walked next to Cyborg.

"I don't like being touched," Danny said softly before being led into a blue car. Raven sat next to him and they bumped shoulders, causing Danny to flinch back. Raven simply raised a brow and moved slightly away from him.
