[A/N]: Hey, there! We got a whopping TWO references this time! I know. Crazy, right?

1. Portals 64 & SPES are references to the Nintendo 64 & SNES respectively.

2. "...I still have problems." Is a scene from Freeman's Mind episode 28.


"Now what?!"Tucker grasped his beret in fright. Danny stayed calm and collected. "Guys, don't worry. I'll try to get them to move on. And, even if we do have to go in there, it's just my hero complex."

Valerie stomped over to the trio "And just what is that doing here?!" Danny crossed his arms "That doesn't matter. C'mon, everyone, we're wasting enough time as it is. We need to move along with the trip." The class, who was crowded around the door, but, thankfully, didn't go in, groaned and started to walk away.

Mr. Lancer stopped everyone "Actually, Mr. Fenton..." Danny sighed. 'of course' "Yes, Mr. Lancer?" The teacher pulled out a slip of paper from who-knows-where and responded "...In order for the trip to be considered a success, we need to visit at least two of your traits. I didn't understand that at first, but, now it seems like a good time to mention this."

Danny noticed all eyes were on him. Realizing he was put on the spot, he had no choice but to go through with it. "Alright, fine." The class cheered. "Before we go in, however, I'd like to say that we are about to see... my hero complex."

Dash burst out laughing. "F-Fenton a hero? Yeah, right!" Mr. Lancer snapped. "Mr. Baxter, that's enough! Now, Mr. Fenton, would you mind explaining why you have that particular... symbol on the door?"

Valerie spoke up. "Yeah, what does HE have anything to do with what's in here?" Danny quietly chuckled 'More than you know.' He put up an act in front of Valerie. "B-Because... I..." He sighed. "...look up to him."

There was silence for a few moments before Valerie screamed. "...WHAAAAT?! How could you possibly do that?!" "How could you possibly not do that?" Danny fired back. "Don't you see how much good he does for the town? Like how he saved it from being sucked into the ghost zone forever? Or, how he stops ghosts from terrorizing without asking a single thing in return?"

Valerie crossed her arms. "What about that time with the mayor?" Danny eyes gleamed mysteriously. He spoke in a professional tone. "Ah. See, I've thought about that, and it just doesn't add up." Val raised an eyebrow. Danny continued. "If Phantom really was secretly being evil, why 'commit'-" he said with finger quotes. "-a crime like that and instantly go back to protecting people? So, I did a little research. I'm sure you've all seen the news video." He gestured to the ground behind him. A square section hissed open (with Dash flinching), and a flat-screen television rose out of it. It flickered before playing the video.

Lance Thunder was giving a report about a ghost invasion in front of the town hall. Suddenly the door was kicked open, and out came the mayor with Danny Phantom 'holding' on to him "Help! Help me!" the video paused.

"Now, do you notice anything strange about the mayor here? Let's take a closer look." The video zoomed in on the mayors face to reveal that his eyes were glowing red!

Valerie spoke in awe. "The mayor was... possessed?" Paulina said with glee, "I knew it! I knew the ghost boy would never do something like that!"

The teacher shook his head. 'If only he put this much effort into his studies. Wait a minute...' "Danny, if you found out something this ground breaking, why not take it up with the police?" Danny paled. "Uh... I figured this out right before I came to school today?"

Everyone stared at Danny quizzically before he quickly poofed the TV away and changed the subject. "W-We're wasting time! Let's move onto the trait!" He led everyone into the door.


The class walked into a circular room. The room was almost completely black, with a horizontal silver stripe halfway between the wall and the ceiling. Scattered along the floor were dozens of objects such as ghost hunting weapons.

Sam started to wander around. "Where is..." She was interrupted by a voice coming from the other side of the room. "LOOK OUT!" Sam suddenly found herself pulled to the side by ...another Danny? "You could've tripped and hurt yourself!" he said as he picked up a wrist-ray. "Who put all of this here, anyway?"

The original Danny laughed sheepishly. "I guess I DO have a little clutter I should take care of around here." 'Man, Jazz would have a field day.'

The other Danny turned to the class as soon as he finished shoving all of the weapons away from everyone. His shirt was an inverted version of Danny #1's, with it being black with a white accent. Also, like Danny's does sometimes, his eyes were constantly glowing green. "Wait, what's going on, here?"

Danny answered him. "Well, Hero, my class here is taking a field trip through my mind to look at some of my memories and traits. Everyone, this is my hero complex." The other Danny, now called Hero, looked worried. "Wait, WHAT? I-is everyone OK? What happened? Why didn't you look for me sooner?"

Danny dismissed him. "Hero, don't worry, I looked after them." "What... what if they find out about-" Danny clasped a hand over Hero's mouth. "I WON'T let it come that." he whispered.

The room stood in silence for a moment. "Ssooo... now what?" The teacher spoke up. "Well, Mr. Fenton, can you give an example of when this trait was... in effect?"

Danny seemed thoughtful for a moment. "Well..." Meanwhile Here looked completely panicked. "N-NO!" He said, startling the class. "I-I... we... can't tell you." Hero looked down.

Mr. lancer arched an eyebrow. "And why not?" he asked, stressing every syllable.

The class let out a startled scream when the entire room was bathed in a dark blue light, as if someone flipped a light switch. The door flew open behind them.

Hero looked to the class with a sorrowful expression, and said in a deadly serious tone, "It would only put you all in danger." The class was then sucked through the door like a vacuum.


Danny was first to jump up. He ran to the door and started banging on it. "Hero, C'mon!" No answer. Danny sighed. 'not again...'

The class at in silence when Lancer exclaimed "Great Gatsby! Daniel, what on earth was that?!"

Danny looked fearful. "I... I don't know. Let's just move on and..." He smirked. "try to stay safe."


Valerie thought to herself while walking with the class. 'Why on earth is Danny a fan of the ghost kid? So much so, that his hero complex almost looks JUST LIKE him?! And what was with that "find out about something" from earlier?'She looked off in the distance, just now noticing the green swirl in the "sky". 'Something weird is going on here, and I'm gonna find out what.'
