Danny could still see his parents, they weren’t as clear as they had been before, but they were crying and yelling now. Not coaxing as they had been before.
Danny shivered. They were scary now, always yelling and trying to grab him, and Danny found he didn’t want to go with them as much as he had before.
In fact all he wanted them to do was go away.
“Go away!”
He was scared. Phantom wasn’t around to make them stop and they were getting closer, blurry and grabbing, tearing at his clothes and shrieking at him.
“GO AWAY!”
Danny screamed, ripping their hands off his body and scrambling backwards, and tried to run.
He didn’t want to go! Not now! Where was Phantom when he needed him!
Danny looked around wildly, trying to find the boy who had always helped him before, but saw nothing but the dark/light abyss that he had come to know as ‘home.’
“Phantom!”
Danny was terrified. Terrified of the dark, terrified of the apparitions of his parents, and terrified that he couldn’t go back. Back to living, back to waking, back to Phantom.
Back to Phantom.
The name echoed in his mind until it was all he heard. Danny clutched his head, the screams starting again, and began to sob.
“Phantom…please…”
Danny curled into himself.
“Please…”

Jazz was floating in and out of a doze. She hadn’t gotten a lot of sleep lately, first from worry about her little brother’s whereabouts, and then from watching over him to make sure he stayed alive.
Jazz didn’t know if Danny would make it… it had been nearly 3 days since Phantom brought him in and told her to look after him, and Danny hadn’t woken up or even moved.
She was feeding him through a tube right now, one of the few things left in the lab she was grateful for, so at least she knew that he was getting nutrients, but she had no clue as to what had happened in the woods. Or why Danny was in a comatose state.
Her eyes started to tear up again and she wiped them furiously. She had to stay strong for Danny, so that she would be able to take care of him until he woke up.
“Phantom… please…”
Jazz’s head shot up.
“Please…”
She carefully touched his cheek, only for him to flinch away. Jazz nearly started crying again from happiness and exhaustion. He might not be fully awake, but this was a good start.
She stood and steadied herself, then ran to the master bedroom, where she knew Phantom was sure to be.
Jazz knocked on the door, her joy at Danny finally waking and exhaustion making her momentarily forget that it WAS the master bedroom, where her parents had slept less then 2 weeks ago.
“What.”
Phantom’s voice came from behind the closed door.
“Danny said your name!”
Jazz was trying hard not to burst through the door and pull Phantom to Danny’s room.
Phantom phased through the door and after a brief look at Jazz sneered.
“Get some sleep. I know he will need more care and I want you semi-functional.”
Jazz nodded and walked to her room, each step growing heavier as the adrenaline wore off. She barely made it to her bed, and was asleep seconds after she lay down.

Phantom was pleased. The girl was proving far more useful then her parents, and much more aware of her position. He would seriously think about allowing her to stay… perhaps Danny would be more cooperative with her here.
Phantom hovered next to Danny, watching him through slit eyes in order to see into the ghost realm Danny was currently stuck on.
Phantom’s lip curled in disgust. The parents were still trying to take Danny with them, but it looked like they had only succeeded in making Danny afraid of them. Idiots.
He knew why they didn’t pass over into the next realm; they were waiting for Danny to join them. He had nearly died so many times that he was ‘stuck’ in a realm in between the real realm and the ghost realm, unable to die because Phantom kept pulling him back, unable to live because he still wanted to die.
Phantom reached out and clasped Danny’s hand, letting himself phase into the ghost realm, and scowled Maddie and Jack.
“Leave him be, foul humans, you have no claim to anything from the world of the living anymore. Be gone before I cause you eternal suffering.”
The ghosts just bared their teeth and hissed, unable to talk because in life Phantom had ripped out their voice boxes before killing them, unable to touch him because his human flesh would burn them, and unable to claw at him because they did not exist in this realm as he did.
Non-corporeal vs. living flesh, and they lost at every turn.
Phantom’s sneer never left his face.

The warmth was there again. Danny remembered this warmth, though only vaguely. It was something that he took comfort in, something that made him feel safe and loved.
A voice, telling his parents to leave him be, to go away and not come back.
Danny knew he loved his parents. They had taken care of him and been there for a long time, that he remembered, but now they were scary and mean. Scary and mean and Danny didn’t want to go with them.
“Danny, time to wake up.”
Didn’t he know that voice? He’d heard it before and sometime recently… Should be know that voice?
It was soothing and comforting, making him forget about his parents for the moment.
“Come on Danny, they can’t hurt you.”
Danny curled into himself even more. How did this voice know that?
But he did feel safe… and he KNEW he knew that voice…
“Danny!”
It was more forceful, but not scary, like the voice was ordering him to wake up.
Danny was unsure still, but he knew the voice and he knew that anything would be better then here.
A hand grasped his and Danny’s eyes fluttered open. Everything was blurry at first, but there was a greenish glow in front of him.
Danny blinked a few times and cocked his head as the image grew clearer. Didn’t he know this person too?
“Danny, are you feeling better?”
All at once Danny realized who it was and launched himself into Phantom’s arms, crying and holding on for all he could.
Phantom had killed his parents.
Phantom had killed his parents.
Phantom had…
Phantom had kept him alive.
Phantom hadn’t let him die, hadn’t let him go with his parents.
Phantom cared for him enough to keep him here.
It was flawed logic, and not at all that sane in thinking, but Danny was past caring about what was sane and what was in touch. Right now, Phantom was his lifeline, and he wasn’t about to let Phantom slip through his grasp.
Phantom grasped him back in a tight grip, the sneer gone from his face and his own tears dropping into Danny’s hair.
Danny pushed up into a kiss, and they clutched at each other until they were sure the other was real and there to stay.
** *
They were both lying on Danny’s bed, curled into each others embrace. Danny, finally in a restful sleep free of ghosts, still had the tear marks on his face. While Phantom was awake and merely watching Danny sleep.
Phantom wasn’t sure on what to do next. He had never really planned everything out besides the whole killing of the parents and he wasn’t entirely sure if Danny was still even sane at this point, he was sure Jazz wasn’t.
So he was thinking.
He knew that he still had some revenge to seek, if not on his behalf then on Danny’s for sure.
Phantom hadn’t realized how much Danny meant to him, not until Danny had nearly died.
Not until he realized that Danny was the reason he still lived.
A strange though in his mind, and not one he entertained with pleasure, but it was a fact. Without Danny Phantom wouldn’t even be here. He would have been tossed aside like the other ‘used’ experiments, to decompose in some putrid toxic waste field far away.
Phantom owed something to Danny.
Phantom needed to give something to Danny, something that showed Danny that he needed him.
He stroked Danny’s hair softly, his thoughts jumbling inside him until they became more of a problem then the answer he was trying to seek. Phantom’s eyebrows furrowed and his mouth grew tight, his body tensing up in a way that it hadn’t before.
Phantom worked to relax, suddenly unsure of himself. This had never happened before, and he wasn’t sure what was wrong. His muscles were tightening and he could feel them begin to cramp up.
Phantom was getting scared now.
“Danny!”
This time it was a cry from him and all at once he was back during the first few weeks of his life, calling out for Danny as he left the room and the parents came in. Fear in his eyes and hope that Danny would turn around and help him.
He didn’t, he hadn’t, not once.
Anger, all at once Phantom’s fear turned to anger and he clenched his teeth. All those times when Danny had left him, for everything that had been done to him…
The parents weren’t enough, Phantom needed more. He needed more to feel like he was in control, like he wasn’t still stuck in that god awful bed. Strapped down and bloodied, broken vocal chords, broken spirit, broken body.
His muscles were still tight, but he pushed himself to his knees. His anger making him uncaring to the pain it caused.
Phantom looked down at Danny with a look of rage, his eyes glowing neon green and his hair whipping around him in an unfelt breeze. Danny would pay too.
Not with his life, though Phantom’s hands almost itched to curl around Danny’s neck, but with his body.
So many times they had kissed, and so many times they had shared time in a bed, talking and laughing at each other. Whenever Danny felt it got to far he would stop it, often leaving both of them frustrated and Danny embarrassed.
Danny’s body was precious to him, and that made it more desirable to Phantom.
And right now, all Phantom desired was that body.
