Disclaimer for all chapters in this story- I do not own Danny Phantom or the Teen Titans. (If I did than why would I be here?)
Hey guys. This is my very first fanfiction, fingers crossed it goes well! :D This is right before Phantom Planet, so no one besides the basic people know Danny's secret and all the other episodes have happened. It is also in the beginning of the Teen Titans. Please go easy on me… Well, without further ado… Here goes nothing! Presenting, OUT OF CAPTURE!
Chapter 1- Leaving Amity Park
Danny had some enemies that wanted to destroy him. Heck, most of them tried to take over the world once or twice. He never anticipated himself being captured by anyone except Vlad again, maybe even Skulker. But boy was he wrong.
Danny was flying through the air enjoying his day off school. The cool breeze kept his snow white hair out of his toxic green eyes as he did a flip in the air. After a while he flew over the park. Danny drifted around on his back watching the clouds above him moving as slow as they did. He laid his hands behind his head and relaxed. Almost nothing could ruin this perfect moment. Almost being the key word here.
Something whizzed below Danny. To the human ear it was impossible to hear, but Danny obviously wasn't human, at least not fully. He got into fighting position in the sky. Once Danny saw the "threat" he lowered his guard. The Guys in White stood below him, the two agents each holding oversized guns.
"Don't move ghost kid!" Agent K shouted at Danny. Danny frowned. "It's Danny Phantom! And I'm a MAN! Look!" He reached into his getup and pulled out a white strand of hair. "See? Totally a chest hair! If anything I'm not a kid!" The agents frowned and aimed their ectoguns at him. Danny shook his head and crossed his arms.
"Really, do you guys ever give up? I'd consider a much easier job, like scraping the grease from the Nasty Burger!" He shot an ectoblast at them, but they fired back. As usual Danny avoided the shots, but he didn't see a slim figure run out from under the tree he hovered above. She held out her wrist, which held a strange device that fired two thin wires that penetrated Danny's calf.
"Ouch! Was that a bee or something?" Danny asked, becoming annoyed. He looked at his leg and saw the wires. With wide eyes Danny tried to phase himself free, but it did not work. "The wires are ghost proof." She said smoothly, knowing she had caught Public Enemy Number One. "Agent Z! What are you doing here!? Your mission was to stake out the downtown area! Not the park!" Agent K yelled.
Agent Z simply pressed a button on her techno wrist watch. Danny watched in horror as green sparks quickly shot up the wires towards Danny. "I was, but then I picked up a large quantity of ectoplasmic energy on my sensors." She answered.
Danny's back arched as he got zapped. "AHHH!" He hit the ground with a thud. His hair stuck out and smoked for a minute before it finally settled.
"But knowing that you two morons were staked out here I took matters into my own hands." She typed a few things into her watch and the prongs popped out of Danny's calf. They quickly retracted into the watch. Agent Z pulled her black hair into a bun and kneeled beside the still ghost boy.
"It was surprisingly easier than you two made it out to be." Danny tried to get up, but he couldn't. He screamed at himself for being so stupid. Danny should have been paying more attention during the fight. The lady who knelt beside him tilted Danny's chin up and smiled. "Too bad. He's kind of cute." Danny blushed. Wait, guys don't blush. Danny reddened. "I'm not cute!" He wanted to yell, but couldn't.
"Goodbye Phantom." She took a step back. Agent Z then pulled her leg back, adding to the pain this was about to cause. Danny closed his eyes as he got the wind knocked out of him. Danny groaned and started breathing harder.
"I didn't think ghosts needed to breathe." She said as she gave him another kick. Danny couldn't even protect himself from the attack, already being paralyzed from the electricity. "I guess we have a lot more tests to run then we previously thought." Danny wanted to get out of there. He wanted to hide and never come out. But at the moment all he could apparently do was get kicked.
"Sleep tight ghost boy." She kicked him one more time and Danny finally got knocked out. "It's going to be a long ride…"
A bump woke up the ghost boy. Danny slowly took in his new surroundings. It looked like the back of a van. Most likely white knowing that was the color the Guys in White preferred.
"Wait! The Guys in White"
His hands were shackled together by a pair of strange cuffs that glowed an eerie green. That and Danny's natural glow were the only light sources in the room. They did not help much. Another bump and Danny banged his head against the wall of the van. "Ow." Danny mumbled to himself. Something shifted in the darker corner of the room. Danny's automatic response was to get prepared to battle, but things certainly weren't working out for the ghostly teen.
Agent Z got on her knees a mere foot away from Danny. His eyes flashed a dangerous green, letting her know to keep her distance. She laughed.
"Scary eyes, kid." Danny scooted himself against the wall, getting away from her. She smiled again and moved closer. "Is the little ghost kid scared?" Agent Z said with sarcasm. Danny shook himself out of his moment of fear. He was Amity Park's own superhero, even if some people didn't look at it that way. He shouldn't be afraid of anyone.
"Agents O and K were no sweat. Why are you such a problem?" Another bump rocked the van, eye contact between the two never left. Agent Z burst out laughing. It kind of freaked Danny out.
"Those two? They are the worst agents on the team. Only God knows why the boss sent them after you instead of someone else." The van stopped and there was a light tap from the back of the van. "We're here."
Agent Z smiled and slowly stood up. Agent Z put a garbage bag over Danny's head. "Hey!" She smiled and grabbed Danny's forehead. "Nothing personal." She said as she pushed the back of his head into the side of the van. Danny screamed before he passed out.
"Just doing my job." Agent Z smirked as she heaved the ghost boy over her shoulder and walked into the white building in the middle of nowhere.
Danny slowly raised his head and looked around. He began to panic seeing that his limbs were all strapped down to an examination table. Next he saw all the tools spread out on a small cart beside him, then the clean white room. Though he began to doubt it would stay clean and white for much longer.
After a long period of time doctors started to fill the room. No one gave the ghost a second glance as they set up machines in the room. Though Danny had it when they started hooking things up to HIM. But when he tried to fight back he quickly realized how deep in he was. His ghost powers weren't working! Danny saw metal bracelets around his wrists. They were clearly the reasons his powers were out.
A doctor walked over to Danny and held a breathing mask above his face. Danny jerked his head away, but the doctor grabbed it and forced the mask onto his face. Danny held his breath until he started turning a shade of blue. After he let the air go his whole body immediately went limp. He struggled to stay awake, but it was a losing battle. With his eyelids closing the last thing he saw was doctors huddling over his body. Then…nothing.
"Ahhhh!" Danny woke up in the corner of his musty, ghost proof cell. The first say of his capture was long gone and Danny began having nightmares about experiments he could no longer remember. His hazmat suit was stained with his ectoplasmic blood. Somehow he never changed back into his weak human half. Maybe he knew the risks of it happening and subconsciously prevented it? That or something else Danny considered.
He could actually be a full ghost now.
After another month Danny didn't care. It seemed to him that each week they tested new ways of killing him. Once they fried him until his skin started to burn, another time they kept him locked up in a box full of water and watched. Like they expected him to jump out fine and dandy, as if he was a freaking Houdini! Though Danny let them do as they pleased. He already tried escaping, many times. This got him punishments like no food that day, beatings with no other purpose, or more tests done to him. Either way Danny stopped trying, long ago.
One day Agent K opened his cell. He had gotten demoted along with Agent O to security guards. "This way Phantom." Danny's curled figure looked up from the far corner of the cell. His white hair had grown out and covered most of his dirty face. He may have seemed weaker to anyone that saw him, but in truth Danny never got weaker. Inside him his powers would only grow stronger, if only Danny knew that himself.
Danny silently stood up and followed the agent out of the room. The door closed, incasing his cell in darkness. Except for the one corner Danny spent all his time. The wall glowed from his blood. It had been splattered against the wall. Sure it would eventually fade, but Danny traced over some spots constantly. Words glowed in the empty room. The name of his friends and family were growing dimmer and dimmer every day, slowly being forgotten. Though one thing remained, shining bright and strong in the room. A single word.
"Hope." The figure read aloud as he looked into the room. "Hmm…" He thought about how innocent the child actually was. For a human to gain ghost powers and use them to protect his hometown… Most would be selfish, but Danny was different. "He is special. Once again Clockwork is right for defending this boy, and for sending me to do this." Danny deserved more for taking responsibility. "He wants hope. Something to fight for." He turned his head away from the wall, wishing not to see the boy's pain any longer. "He shall get just that." Then the figure vanished from sight.
Whoa… 8o (If I put this much work in my schoolwork I'd have better grades.) That's a lot of words. Think I need to tone it down? Maybe so? My first crack at it. Did I do well? Hopefully :) And speaking of hope… What did I just write? I love Danny Phantom! Why would I do such bad things to him? (Though it was kinda fun.) You don't need to worry though; he'll get help by that mysterious guy in the end. Who do you think he is anyways? I'm interested to know what you all think! :)
Since this is my first time I may be slow for three reasons. One; I have a busy life, taking away time to write. Two; I may not be able to figure out some of the stuff on this awesome website. (If you could give me a tip I'd love you forever!) Three; if my computer decides to get funky on me for some reason. Bye! :D
