Yukinabluerose thankyou for your reviews they give me the uplift I need to keep writing and I'm glad to have made a story that you and others can love I did this for fun and in hopes people would like it and to know I have fans like you out there just makes my day and your comments gave me inspiration to fix something I didn't know needed fixing beforehand for those of you wondering the date in the story Robin's birthday in my story is May 29 and this chapter is June 4 Danny won't get his ice powers till after his birthday which is in July in my story
(Danny's POV)
'Uuuugghh my head. Wh- What what happened?' I tried to open my eyes but due to blurriness and a bright light I couldn't keep them open.
Then I heard a fuzzy "Da...nny Dan...ny." Then it started to clear "Can you hear me Danny?"
It was Dick and he sounded really worried. I tried opening my eyes again this time with more success. Turns out I was right my brother was worried. He wasn't the only one. Robin and Raven were kneeling beside me. They were all I could see as they hovered above me blocking my view.
I don't know if it's the headache or what but I'm confused so I'd better ask. "Ugh Bro what happened?"
Raven whom had been healing my head the whole time asked me instead "What's the last thing you remember Danny?"
It took me a minute which got them more worried. "Um we were fighting Skulker...and, he got a good shot at my ribs on my right side. Which really hurts right now."
They winced in sympathy. Then Robin took my left hand were he was kneeling.
Then Raven said "It's ok Danny I'll heal it as soon as I'm done with your head keep going."
So I did "Ok um I fell onto Beastboy and he helped me take cover behind the couch. While there I noticed Beastboy's weapon. There's something really important about it. Some reason Beastboy shouldn't use it. I didnt realize it until after we broke cover. When I turned and tried to warn him there was this bright light, then pain, then nothing."
"Well Danny you had a bad concussion. I just finished healing it so you should get the last bit of that memory back pretty soon" Raven explained.
She was right cuz a few moments later I did remember. "Oh shoot the Crammer! Beastboy...he fired it didn't he?" I tried to sit up and see but they and my ribs wouldn't let me.
"Woah easy there Little Brother. Raven still has to heal your ribs. You can look around when she's done. But to answer your question yes he did fire it. He was so freaked out when he did though it turned into a wild shot. We all ended up being hit by it. Including Beastboy himself though we are not to sure how though. The rest of the team is keeping an eye out for Skulker since he was hit as well. When your healed we should have a team meeting to discuss the Crammer and what to do from there." Robin explained.
"That will be sooner than you think because I'll be finished right about...now." Raven said with a small smile.
They helped me sit up and as I looked around I was disoriented. No one could blame me really. Everything was huge. I knew we had shrunk but this was ridiculous. I'll have to ask Cy how tall we are. This reminds me of a scene from that old movie Honey I Shrunk The Kids. Though I hope we don't run into something as dangerous as they did. 'Oh great I probably just jinxed us' I thought.
"You ok Danny? You still seem a bit out of it." Robin asked as he felt my forehead.
I gave him a reassuring smile and said "I'm fine Bro. This whole situation is just a bit disorienting is all."
"Hmm well maybe something to concentrate on will help." Then Robin got up and called out "Titans meeting time. Come on in."
The rest of the team gathered around us and sat down. Once Robin did one more visual sweep of the area he sat too.
As soon as he saw me Beastboy started blathering on and waving his arms both in a panic and, speaking so fast it sounded all like one word that I could barely understand. "Danny I so sorry dude I didn't mean to hit you or any of us with that blaster. And I really really didn't mean for you to get even more hurt. Are you ok man? Please be ok. I don't think any of us could take it if you weren't ok."
He sounded like he was starting to hyperventilate a little so Cy took him by the shoulders shook him slightly and said. "BB calm down and breathe will you. Just breathe." Beastboy listened to him taking deep breaths. "That's it buddy just calm down. I'm sure if you let Danny speak he'll put all your worries to rest ok." Then they turned to me.
"Alright Beastboy first off your forgiven for shooting us with the blaster due to the fact of being unfamiliar with the equipment and panic this situation could happen to anybody right guys?" They all nodded. "Second off I was injured yes but thanks to Raven that is no longer the case. I'm fine now so no need to worry over me due to that ok." He nodded. And Third that was not an ordinary blaster. It's actually The Crammer. But as for what it is and what it does I'm gonna wait and give my brother the floor so he can assess the situation.
Robin then addressed the group. "Alright Titans thanks to an understandable mix up with the ghost weapons and, a wild shot by it's wielder we have been shrunk."
"Hhee hhee my bad sorry dudes." Beastboy said sheepishly while scratching his head.
"It's ok Beastboy at least we're all together." Robin reasured him. " Also we don't have to worry about people of regular size walking around. At our current size they could step on us easily without knowing. So at least that is one danger we don't have to worry about." We all nodded in agreement. "We will have to keep an eye out for insects and rodents. Considering we are indoors the chance of running into them are smaller but still there. There is also rubble and debris from the fight around like plaster, metal and broken glass to deal with if we travel anywhere.
He continued on "Danny now that I've gone over the immediate basics of the situation I think it's time you told us about the Crammer. How about you give us a rundown of what it does and how we get back to normal."
I took a deep breath then answered with. "Ok so there are a few things you need to know about my parents before I explain the Crammer. They were brilliant scientists and researchers. As well as inventors. Everything they did being ghost related. But they were also ghost hunters. It was this area that they didn't shine so brightly at. For you see they never caught any high level ghosts just realy low level ones that look like goo with a face. They were also misinformed on a few things about ghosts. For example they thought all ghosts were evil ectoplasmic scum. Their words not mine. This unfortunately included my ghost half since they didn't know I was half ghost. Not until the end anyway um. My point is because they were ghost hunters and scientists many of their inventions were intended to hunt down and hurt or capture ghosts. So they thought they were doing the right thing in their actions due to the whole thinking all ghosts are evil thing. Anyway I guess I'm rambling so to the Crammer. The reason I told you all that is so you guys would not react negatively when I tell you the purpose of the Crammer. You see it was designed to shrink ghosts and short out their powers making them unusable. This way they would be easier to capture and well...experiment on them."
They seemed shocked I better keep going before they react. "Now I know it sounds bad. And I agree but I did help them whenever I could. Also my parents weren't bad people just misinformed like I said. Though trying to convince them otherwise was like talking to a brick wall. Plus some of their inventions have turned out to help ghosts to like my Dad's ecto-dejecto. It was designed to weaken a ghosts power but instead made them stronger. He didn't have much of the stuff but when Danielle showed up telling me she was destabilizing well long story short I used the ecto-dejecto on her and now she's stable. So please don't be to upset about it. It really is not as bad as it sounds."
They looked at eachother then finally Robin spoke. "Well Danny as shocking as that was to hear I dont think your adoptive parents were bad people. Though I can see why you were worried about telling us about it. You needn't have worried that much. You've got friends and family here we understand. Now how about you continue by telling us how we get back to normal huh?" Everyone was nodding in agreement the whole time.
"Alright um getting back to normal is simple in theory. All we gotta do is find the Crammer, set the dile to uncram, and shoot ourselves with it again. Come to think of it where is the Crammer anyway?" I looked around as I said this. Thinking I should be able to see it from hear if it was just dropped as Beastboy shrunk. But it wasn't anywhere in sight.
"Um my bad again dudes." Beastboy said looking sheepishly embarrassed. "You see when I fumbled with the Crammer out of panic and ended up shooting myself I ended up tripping. That made me loose my hold completely on the Crammer and as I began shrinking I saw it land on the other side of the room somewhere. Again my bad"
"Well how do we find this Crammer?" Starfire asked.
We all thought for a bit then I looked up and got an idea. "The couch!" I happily proclaimed.
"What?" asked the whole team at once.
"What I mean is that we get to the couch. Then whoever can fly can help the others that can't. Which unfortunately includes me at the moment. To fly to the top of it so we can see high enough to see the other side of the room. Thereby finding where the Crammer landed and,we just go from there." I explained to them.
"That's a good plan Danny. What do you say team?" Robin asked.
There were collective yes' and a Booyah! from Cyborg.
Then Beastboy asked "Um but what did you mean you can't fly?
"Weren't you paying attention?" Raven asked annoyed apparently answering for me. "The Crammer shorts out a ghosts powers. So because Danny is half ghost his powers were shorted out when he shrank as well. Now am I right to assume Skulker is in the same boat since he was shrunk too Danny?"
I nodded to her.
"Good then we have at least some advantage over him now right Robin?"She asked.
"Right Raven. Exactly what I was thinking. But Danny due to we haven't started training your human form yet your gonna be more vulnerable as you are. So I want you to stay close to at least one of us throughout this trip ok? No need to give Skulker an easy target." Robin said.
"You got it Bro." I told him.
He smiled got up and said. "Alright Cyborg how long do you think it'll take us to get from here to the couch?"
"Well...judging by our current size of 2 in. How far we are away from the couch. Put it into proportion. If we walk I'd say a good 2-3 hours." Cy answered.
"We better get going then. Titans lets move."Robin ordered and we all got up and followed.
Time Skip 30 minutes later
We had been walking for a bit but not makeing as much progress as we'd like.
"Hey Cy when you did your time to the couch calculations did you factor in walking around all this debris from the fight?" I asked
As he turned back to help those of us who needed it over a piece of metal. Which included me he said. "Well I tried to but most of the calculating relied on estimations and averages. At the rate we are going it will take longer to reach the couch unfortunately but, I'm not sure how long."
Suddenly the floor started to rumble. The air started to move at a rapid rate. Beastboy turned into his pterodactyl form to handle the high winds and, flew up to see what was going on.
We heard a fearful shriek as the roaring we heard grew louder. He quickly landed turning back to human form and, shouted to be heard as well as in fright. "DUDES it's some kind of robot vacuum thingy!"
Everyone's eyes bugged out. Before we could think of what to do we saw it. It was like a giant metal monster. It was sucking and sweeping all the small debris from it's bottom. While from it's top hoses and pincers were sucking and picking up larger debris and depositing it in large plastic containers on it's back.
"RUN!" Robin yelled and boy did we.
The problem was getting anywhere with all the debris around and, the wind trying to pull us back. I tripped over a piece of plaster. Raven turned back and helped me up. Before we could let go of eachother a hose came out of nowhere and we were in it's path. First Raven then I were sent flying into the suction. We screamed as we flew. Still hanging on to her hands I was able to wrap my feet around a piece of metal. Unfortunately it was sharp enough to cut into my legs but I held on despite that.
"GUYS HELP US!" I screamed.
They turned and started running and flying toward us.
Then Raven yelled "Azerath Metrion Zinthos!" She used her magic to make giant hands and, used them to grab onto the metal. Then she yelled out "Danny let go I've got this!" We looked into eachother's eyes I saw truth and determination in hers. I let trust and friendship show in mine. Then I let go of the metal. Our bodies colided and we ended up hugging eachother tight. Suddenly the metal felt like it was starting to give way. We looked and saw a pincer was trying to move the very piece of metal we were clinging to. In order to place it in one of it's plastic cases on the vacuum's top. We looked to where the others were realizing they weren't going to make it in time. So we had a choice. Go in the container with the big metal pieces and risk getting crushed by them. Or get sucked up by the hose and risk being crushed and or suffocating by the smaller debris. We looked at eachother and could tell what the other one wanted. So Raven let go of the metal and put a shield around us as we were sucked up the hose.
We could barely here our friends scream various versions of "Noooo!"
We tumbled and rolled for a bit when we landed inside the container. It's a good thing Rae continued to have a shield around us the whole time otherwise we would have gotten quite a few injuries.
When my head stopped spinning from the tumble I finally noticed how dark it was. Then I realized the darkness was probably due to Raven's Shield. Thinking of Raven I better check on her. "Raven are you ok?" I asked.
"Yes..yes I'm ok. But what about you Danny. I can sense something is wrong. What is it?" she asked me.
I was a little reluctant to answer. I didn't want her to worry more. But I figured it would be worse if I didn't say anything so I told her. "It's my legs. They got cut up pretty good by the metal when I was clinging on to it before you took over. I'm sorry Rae. I don't mean to get hurt so often. I guess I'm just an accident prone person. I don't want to worry you or my brother or anyone really. But when this stuff happens it really is out of my control. But I still am sorry though." I said.
"No need to apologize Danny I understand. Normally I would never say this but since we're alone well. I can tell you I think it's sweet that you don't want to worry others. It's not something you should make a habit of when it comes to injuries or sickness mind. But it's still sweet." She said.
Good thing it's dark cuz I could feel myself blushing.
"Now Danny I can't heal you until we get out of here due to the fact that I can't see and, it's taking alot of concentration to keep this shield up with all this debris crashing down on it. So I think it best if I carry you up to the top of the container. Then we can figure out how to get out of here." She said.
I agreed with her then we reaffirmed our grip on eachother and took off.
When we reached the top far away from the hose entrance we started comeing up with a plan.
"Ok I hate to ask and put more pressure on you Rae but can't we just teleport out of here?" I asked.
"Unfortunately no. Teleportation requires alot of concentration and magic. I can't do it, fly, and keep the shield up. It would be to much. But there is something I can do that requires less magic. I can pick up a piece of metal and beat it against the container until it breaks so we can get out." She explained.
"That's great. Plus if it doesn't break the noise should help the team to find us. Then they can help us break the container open to get out. Either way it's a win win. I said.
Raven agreed then proceeded with the plan.
A few minutes later the vacuum turned off and we could hear it rolling back to were it came from.
"Uh oh faster Rae. I said in a slight panic.
She went faster alright and harder. But before we could panic to much we saw this large circle of light near by on the roof of the container. It was getting bigger and brighter. Then suddenly these green and white beems of light burst through the container creating a hole. Then we heard Cyborg's voice proclaim "Booyah!"
Then we saw Starfire fly threw the hole obviously looking for us. So Raven droped the shield and flew over as I called out "Starfire!"
She turned and when she saw us she got the biggest smile on her face. She flew towards us and gave us a thankfully gentle hug. "Friends I am so glad to have found you. Are you the alright?"
"Yeah were fine Star. Well with the exception of some cuts on my legs but Raven said she would heal them as soon as we got out of here." I told her.
She gasped "Then we must leave at once." she proclaimed. Still hanging on to us she flew out the hole past Cyborg and landed on the floor next to Robin and Beastboy. "
"Now Raven can do the healing while I retrieve Cyborg." She said and with that Starfire flew off.
Raven got right to work healing my legs but not a second later I heard "Danny!" And I was getting a side hug from my brother.
"You two scared the life out of us. Are you two alright? Why did you let go like that?"Robin asked in quick succession. He was clearly still in a slight panic.
I hugged him back and said "Easy easy bro we're fine. I mean sure I have some cuts on my legs that Raven is healing right now but beyond that we are fine. I'm sorry we scared you all and, I'm sure Raven is too. As for why we let go it was because we knew you all wouldn't make it before the metal we were clinging to was dislodged. So we had a choice to make go with big or smaller debris. We chose the smaller in the hose. ...Your not mad are you?"
My face was pressed against his shoulder the whole time I said this. Though my intention with my speech was to calm him. I'm afraid the last part may make him mad and I'm scared to look at him.
"Danny I'm not mad." He said.
I looked up at him skeptically.
"No I'm not mad. A little upset you two had to put yourselves in danger but not mad." He said
Starfire had arrived with Cyborg at that point. After we went through letting everyone know we are fine and what happened and why I asked again. "Are you guys sure none of you are mad?"
"No Danny none of us are mad. We were worried yes but not mad. We are all just glad you two are ok." Robin said.
"Ok your legs are healed now Danny. Now I recommend you take it easy for a bit due to blood loss. This is just a precaution but we have no idea how much blood you lost before I could heal you. I know you heal fast so that may have helped but it may have been shorted out with the rest of your powers. I'll stick by you just in case. Normally I would have you rest a bit but, with Skulker around I don't think it's a good idea to be in the open to long. I think we should get up and get moving. What say you Robin?" Raven said.
"Raven's right. As much as I'd love to give you time to rest we can't do that right now. Just stick with Raven and I and if you need to rest we will carry you ok? Robin said.
I nodded then we all got up and continued our way to the couch.
Thanks to the vacuum insident we are closer to the couch than before. But unfortunately thanks to the former cuts on my legs I got easily winded and dizzy. Luckily Robin and Raven noticed before I could say anything and, Raven picked me up with her magic.
About an hour later we finaly made it to the couch. Starfire took Robin in her arms. Beastboy turned into a pterodactal and picked up Cyborg with his talons. Raven still carrying me with her magic and we all flew up together.
It took a bit considering how tall the couch was. But we finally made it to the top. Raven let me go steadying me as she did and, I smiled to her in thanks. We all looked around in search of the Crammer. Finally it was Beastboy who pointed to the right of the coffie table and said "There it is!" We looked where he pointed and, sure enough there it was. Thank goodness. Now all we had to do was get to it.
"Good job Beastboy. Well team now we know where the Crammer is. I have an idea of how to get to it. I suggest use the same flying formations to get to the floor. Then to save on energy we walk the rest of the way to the Crammer. Cyborg how long will it take to get to the Crammer once we reach the floor." Robin said.
"Hmm well provided nothing happens to impede us I'd say ruffly another 2 hours or so." Cyborg said.
I put my face in my hand and shook my head.
"What's the matter Danny? Are you still dizzy?" My brother asked me while putting his hand on my shoulder.
Removing my hand from my face I looked at him and said. "No it's not that. I was just reacting to the nothing to impede us comment. You see in my experience comments like that have a tendency to be jinxed and things go wrong every time they are said. So when Cyborg said that I just got a little exasperated."
"Seriously?" He asked me.
"Seriously." I told him.
Patting my shoulder he said "Well Danny I'm sure nothing will go wrong just because he said that so you've got nothing to worry about."
My eyes bugged out and I face palmed again. "Awe bro saying nothing will go wrong is one of the most common and strongest jinxes there is. Not only are we double jinxed now but it's pretty much guaranteed something will go wrong."I said.
"Dude even I know not to say stuff like that" Beastboy said.
Suddenly the couch was blasted near me to the point where I almost fell off the couch. Luckily Raven caught me. We looked up to see Skulker using his suit to fly and, come barreling towards us. His weapons at the ready and, he yelled "Brace yourself Whelp. Your pelt is about to become mine."
As we all took off with our flying partners I yelled out "See what I mean?" A missile just barley missing Rae and I.
The fight didn't last long thankfully due to the quick thinking of Cyborg and Beastboy. As Rae and I were dodging missiles and blasts and, Star was shooting her starblots while holding Robin. Beastboy in pterodactyl form flew Cyborg above Skulker and dropped Cy on top of him. Cy quickly used his strength to rip one of Skulker's mechanical wings off. Beastboy quickly grabbed Cy. Then we heard Skulker screaming as he careened to the far left side of the room.
We reconvened on the floor as Robin had originally planned. When we all landed Robin was the first to speak. "Is everyone alright?" We all nodded saying yes we were. Then he double checked with Raven and I. "Relax Bro we're ok. How about we get going before Old Bucket Head decides to make a reappearance." Everyone agreed and we set off to where we could see the Crammer.
I made it a little longer this time until my recent blood loss got to me again and was resigned to be carried by Rae's magic. I really didn't mind to a point but I was starting to feel kinda useless. Though I didn't say anything to the effect. Unfortunately having a friend who is an empath has it's drawbacks when your trying to hide certain feelings like I am.
She must have sensed I was trying to hide it because Raven came closer to me and started talking quietly. "You know Danny despite what you think your not useless. You just need a little extra help due to blood loss. Which is something that could happen to anyone. I know you feel like these situations happen to you too often. And when they do you feel as if you can't do anything but, that's not true. You make the best of any situation and work with what you've got. It's actually one of the things I admire about you." We both blushed. "So don't put yourself down ok there is no need for it." Then she smiled that sweet smile again.
"Ok and thanks Rae." I told her smiling back.
Then I tried the gutsiest move I have ever tried with a girl. I took her hand in mine. She looked at me so I asked "You don't...mind do you?" I blushed again harder. She smiled blushing herself and said "I don't mind at all. In fact I kinda like it." She squeezed my hand back and that made me smile more. We started talking to eachother about our likes and dislikes and basically just getting to know eachother in greater detail than before for the rest of the trip. I've never met a girl this easy to talk to. Even with Sam I allways held back a little. Next thing we know the Crammer is within running distance.
"Oh joy now we can finally be the big again." Starfire said.
"You said it Star." said Cyborg.
"Yeah Dudes I can hardly wait." Beastboy said.
But before we could move any further Raven put a shield around us. Just as she finished doing so a missile came barreling towards us and exploded. She let down the sheild when nothing else came then we heard this loud roaring screech.
We looked to our left to see Skulker was back and this time he was riding what was to us a giant grey rat with red eyes. The rat reared back waving it's front paws like a horse then it ran towards us as it screeched again. "Give it up Whelp. with this new stead at my side I am twice the hunter as before. You can not win." Skulker yelled out.
"Titans Go!" Robin called out.
"Dudes don't hurt the rat. He's an old pet of mine that got out about a week ago. Plus he's a victim in this." Beastboy called out.
"Titans you heard him don't hurt the rat." Robin ordered.
Everyone with a long range attack took aim at Skulker trying to avoid the rat.
Skulker let out a cruel smile and reared the rat back to take the hit.
"Gary!"
Beastboy yelled out.
"Rae!" I called out.
She must have read my mind cuz just before everything hit Raven's black shield protected Gary from the hit.
As the smoke cleared Gary was fine and Skulker was laughing like mad.
"Hahaha You fools. Now that you have revealed your foolish sympathies for this dumb creature. I not only have the perfect mount but the perfect shield to use against you. Hahahaha!" Skulker proclaimed.
"You MONSTER! Leave Gary out of this!" Beastboy yelled out in tears. He must really care for that rat.
"Oh I don't think so." He said and Skulker tried to spur Gray into a charge. But Gary didn't move. Instead he stared right at Beastboy. His eyes turned pink. Then he let out a long whiney like squeak.
"What is wrong with you you stupid rat? Obey me!" Skulker ordered then smacked Gary on the head.
Gary winced but beyond that didn't respond to Skulker's commands. Instead he did the same thing as last time. Only this time it seemed to be almost in longing.
That gave me an idea. "Beastboy!" I called out. "I think he recognizes you and wants to be with you try talking to him."
Beastboy smiled looked right at Gary and called out "Gary it's Beastboy Gary you recognize me boy?"
Gary let out a squeak that sound suspiciously like a yes.
"Good boy now listen in order to be free you've got to get that mean old Bucket head off of you. Give it everything you've got. I know you can do it boy." Beastboy called out again.
I don't know how but Gary must have understood Beastboy because a second later he started bucking up and down and all around like an enraged bull. He even started rolling repeatedly on his back to squish Skulker. Skulker was making all kinds of noises and we heard metal being crushed. Finally with one last jirk Skulker let go and went flying a few feet and skidded to a stop.
Once Skulker was off Gary ran to Beastboy. Then Beastboy hugged him as Gary cuddled in bliss and friendship.
To our left we heard the sounds of screeching metal and sparking electronics. We looked to see that Skulker had gotten up and was slowly making his way over.
When he got within talking distance he said "You may have won the battle Whelp. But never forget one day your pelt will be mine."
"As if Bonehead. Now if you don't mind we would all like to get unshrunk now." I said.
He nodded.
A few minutes later we were all grown back to our normal size. Skulker had taken off once he was back to normal and had his powers back. Most likely to (pardon the pun) skulk off somewhere to repair his suit and lick his wounds. Gary the rat had earned his place in the tower and was now a permanent resident as Beastboy's pet.
As for me I am healthy, back to normal, and have my powers back. There is just one thing that bothers me. Plasmious. He sent Skulker here to find me but why? Will he send more ghosts like he did in the beginning back in Amity Park? And for what purpose? Is he coming up with some big scheme again?" All these questions and no answers. I think I'll talk to the team about it maybe we can come up with answers together. Until then what will happen well only Clockwork knows.
