"Shhhhhh," Red eyes glowed down at the crying blue haired siren, "you are screaming too loud." Phantom used the blade from the envelope opener to yank off another one of Ember's piercings, making the female fall into a new round of fresh pain.
Blood dripped from Ember's torn ear onto the floor, and Phantom tightened his grip around her neck as he made the temperature drop in the room for the third time. The female's lips were pale and chapped, and he knew from the frostbite developing on her cheeks and on the tip of her nose that she was dying from the cold very quickly.
"Bad girls who come after Danny deserve death," Phantom put the opener on the floor for a moment and pinched another piercing above the siren's eye between this thumb and forefinger, ripping it out half a second later and smirking at the tears that filled Ember's eyes. "Did you come alone or are there others on land?"
"Alone, ahh, alone I swear, please stop." the chill was making her pleading voice raspy with the stress in her throat from her rapid breathing. She could no longer regulate her body temperature and Phantom knew that the female was aware of her imminent death. She tried to get Phantom off of her by scratching at the wrist that was holding her down by the neck, but her attempts to shove him off were futile. He was so much stronger than her, and she was weakening from the cold.
"Oh yeah? Are you sure you aren't lying? You have 5 more piercings and it would be a real shame if you lied." He narrowed his eyes down at her frightened ones, "The one on your nose looks like it would really hurt if it was suddenly yanked out."
The subtle threat had her breathing harsher, "No! No, please, I swear I'm not lying." Phantom pinched the nose ring between his fingers, getting a good enough grip on it.
"I think it's a little warm in here, don't you think?" Phantom was nothing if not sadistic. "Maybe I should turn on the ice." Phantom's eyes glowed a glacier blue, not yet dropping the temperature more than he had, but the threat was there to be persuasive.
"No!" Terrified eyes widened, "Do the thing if you don't believe me!" The pain that came from the firm tugging that Phantom teased her nose with alarmed her to a desperate degree.
The merman smirked, that's what he wanted to hear. Merpeople had this thing that they did; to see into each other's souls. If Phantom chose to, he could potentially hear every thought Ember ever had, or see everything she had ever done. It required permission though, but that's what Phantom was just given.
He released the nose ring and circled both hands around Ember's throat, breathing in and shutting his eyes.
Dark spirals of glowing green energy slipped from the merman's fingertips and crawled under the female siren's skin. Her eyes turned black from the spell Phantom put her under as she lost all sense of herself, his power corrupting her mind.
Phantom hummed at what he saw. Behind the siren's conniving and seductive nature, Ember didn't seem to be lying at the present moment. Ember was not only alone, but he could see in her memories of encountering Hades that their deal only involved Danny's death.
This could pose a problem.
Ember took a deep breath, her mind hazy, but she noticed the forgotten envelope opener a few inches from her face. It was metal, and it was sharp.
Quickly, while Phantom was distracted, she snatched it and thrust it toward the merman's head.
Phantom grabbed her wrist just before the tip of the blade could stab into his temple.
Ember's eyes widened, the grip on her wrist tightening by the second as she tried to shove the weapon the remaining centimeters that kept her from murdering the male siren.
Green eyes smirked at her evilly, the malice and ill intention glowing brightly as they zeroed in on the girl below him.
"That will be the last thing you do," Phantom said darkly as his irises disappeared and were replaced by glowing blue gems of ice. They flashed brightly and blinded Ember for a moment before her discomfort became unbearable. The cold made her feel like someone was skinning her alive as her flesh became pale and cracked.
Frostbite spread in black blisters across her face, the tips of her fingers, her nose, her neck, everywhere at a rapid pace. Growing and marring her skin like 3rd degree burns under a red hot iron. Her choked screams as Phantom's finger's clenched around her throat and squeezed would not be heard by anyone but Phantom, with Mr. Fenton in a hypnosis-induced sleep and no one else in the house.
Tears fell from her clenched eyes as they were sealed shut by the ice that formed from the liquid spilling in the below freezing room. She knew she was dying, but in a last ditch effort to save herself somehow, her body thrashed, and she pushed at him with her frozen slid hands in a last attempt to shove him off her.
She wasn't nearly strong enough to, however, and a moment later, her arms fell to the side of her head and she stopped struggling.
Phantom smirked at her motionless body, releasing the grip he had on her throat and relishing in the cool -20-degree room. The cold made him strong, made him feel powerful.
Looking around the room to the frozen glass and the stiff bedsheets, Phantom sighed. He would have to clean up the mess now.
Time to get rid of the body.
He got up, looking around and wondering where he should start. Figuring the body was the most incriminating thing for a person to walk in and see, he went to Danny's closet to grab a few bed sheets. Ember's body was completely frozen, so her bleeding wounds would not be a problem.
He had stopped using his ice powers when the female's heart stopped, so the room should be rising in temperature as the houses heating system worked overtime to thaw it out. Luckily he had only used his powers in Danny's room, so Jack was not affected by the chill.
Unless you counted his wallet. This was definitely going to run up his electric bill.
Oops.
Phantom turned to get to work moving the body into Jack's RV, but he stopped.
Ember's body was gone.
Phantom would have been concerned over this, as his head tilted in confusion, but the pile of dust spread suspiciously in the same form and pattern of how Ember's body was positioned kept him from freaking out.
Ember was definitely dead.
She just turned to dust.
...
Danny woke up around 6:30 in the morning to the sound of his phone ringing. It was Friday morning and he was still in Phantom's stupidly uncomfortable vest, but he groggily reached for his phone.
Sam tucked herself farther under the covers behind him to try to muffle the sound of Phantom singing. Danny truly was the merman's biggest fan.
"Hello?" His voice was hoarse, having just woken up.
"Hey, precious." Phantom's voice was static and nowhere near as sexy over the phone as it was in real life, "Sleep well?"
"Screw you," Danny said as he shifted the vest around, trying to find a comfortable position in it to no avail. He didn't know he could feel this relieved, he had barely slept because of how worried he was.
He should have known better, of course Phantom would be okay. He felt silly now for worrying so much.
"Oh, someone woke up feisty." Danny could almost hear the smirk in the merman's voice, and he wanted nothing more than to smack the amusement away from Phantom's face. Unfortunately, he wasn't close enough to the siren to do so. "You can take it off now if you want."
Danny groaned in joy, sitting up to unzip it and rid himself of the horrible article of clothing. He only ever wanted to see that thing on Phantom.
"I figured I would call you early. We have school in 2 hours."
Danny hummed, getting up out of Sam's bed. "Yeah, okay, I'll be there in a bit." He honestly just wanted to get home and give Phantom a big hug. Despite how angry he was at the merman for putting him through so much stress.
He packed up his stuff and let a sleepy Sam know that he was leaving. She responded with a wave of her hand and some indistinct words, but Danny was almost positive that she said something like "Shwee eewah skull."
He scratched his head, but he was out the door and in his car on his way home minutes later.
...
The cold metal of the hallway lockers met the side of Danny's face when Dash shoved him, and Danny groaned. What did this guy not understand from the lawsuits? Sure, the restraining order had not been implemented yet -his dad was working on that- but the bully should still be trying to show a sense of restraint by now.
It didn't seem to be the case though as the bully grabbed a fist full of his black hair and bashed his head against the locker for a second time. Flashbacks of the last time he saw Vlad alive flashed across his head and for a moment, panic started to rise in him. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he could hear students laughing and someone yelling, "Great Gatsby! What's going on?" However, in the present moment as he fell into the same panic he felt that day in the locker room, he couldn't place the voices.
Dash ran away after that, apparently brave enough to push at the lawsuits against him but not brave enough to stick around in the face of authority.
Danny groaned and held his head, but he was still in the middle of a panic attack and was unable to move for a moment. Someone was grabbing at his shoulder, but he couldn't tell who, nor did he want to look. None of his friends were around him and he could feel the physical burden of their absence.
The memory of hands around his throat hit him like a brick to his head, and the flashback of evil turquoise eyes staring down at him as disgusting hands ran all over his unwilling body had tears burning behind his eyes.
"-enton?" Someone was calling his name, and Danny struggled to remember where he was. Vlad was dead. Nobody was hurting him right now. He needed to calm down.
"For god sakes Mr. Fenton. Open your eyes."
He didn't even know they were closed. But when he opened them he was greeted with Mr. Lancer kneeling in front of him, concern filling his blue eyes as he stared down at him.
Danny has no idea when he had gotten on the ground, nor did he realize he was clutching his hair in a painful grip until he could feel strands being pulled out. He released the abused raven locks and quickly stood up, face flushing as he realized the students were all staring at him. He had made a huge scene and the embarrassment that he felt could be seen at the tips of his ears. A few minutes ago he was putting his stuff away to meet Phantom and his friends at his car, now he wanted nothing more than to go home and disappear in his bed.
"Go to the counselor Mr. Fenton. You are excused from class today if you need. I'll call and tell her you're on your way."
Danny bowed his head, hoping he could hide behind his long bangs as he started walking. The whispering around him was anything but silent, and Danny wished that their voices would just go away.
He wanted to go home and sleep this away.
Sadly nobody ever got everything they wanted.
Wishing Phantom was there but knowing the other was probably in class right then, Danny pulled out his phone and was about to text him something along the lines of 'love you', or 'miss you' but he stopped before clicking send.
Though Phantom has developed since living with him, he still had the emotional capacity of toothpaste. The merman would probably get annoyed if Danny sent him a text like that right now, barely ten minutes after seeing him.
He sighed and clicked the delete button until the message disappeared before shoving his phone in his pants again and opening the door to the Counselor's office.
The room was considerably warm compared to the rest of the school, but after spending most of the day in cold classrooms and 60-degree weather, the heat wasn't unwelcome.
Danny glanced around and noticed that the room was decorated differently than when he was last here a year ago. The walls were grayer and did not have as many posters as it did, but the most notable difference was the head of red hair sitting in the office chair. It seemed they had a new Counselor.
The red-headed woman turned in her chair and gave him a big welcoming smile, her green eyes sharp and familiar. "You must be Danny! How nice to meet you. Mr. Lancer called and said you would come to see me."
Danny tilted his head, she seemed very familiar. Like he had seen her face before, but he couldn't remember for the life of him.
"My name is Ms. Spectra. I am your new school Counselor. Please," she motioned to the chair that set on the opposite side of the desk from her, "take a seat and let's talk. I heard about your anxiety attack in the middle of the hallway. Boy, that must have been humiliating. On your knees in front of all those other students, you must feel so small right about now."
She was smiling, and the reminder of the embarrassment Danny went through only moments ago made the raven frown as heat rose in the back of his neck.
He took a seat in the chair and twirled his fingers in his lap. "Yeah, that was... unexpected." He side glanced the woman, unable to look her in the face. It was kind of weird how she stared at him with that overly happy smile, and it was getting increasingly uncomfortable that he couldn't remember where he had seen her face before.
"Don't you worry your little head off about it Danny, unexpected things happen all the time!" She got up and walked around the desk towards him and he followed her movements with his eyes, still unable to really look up at her pretty face. He flinched when she put a hand on his shoulder, "you shouldn't be ashamed of yourself when things out of your control happen."
"Then how come I feel so miserable?" Danny hunched further in his chair, wishing he could curl in on himself and fade away.
"Why don't you tell me what's been bothering you, Danny?" She took her hand off him and leaned against the desk in front of the raven. "I'm sure after a good talk you will forget about how you embarrassed yourself in front of everyone in that hallway." She sounded optimistic, but Danny wished she would stop reminding him about what happened. "I mean, I'm sure people were recording you when Dash took advantage of how defenseless you are, so I bet they also caught how you curled around yourself like a loser on video too and it's probably already on YouTube," Danny suddenly felt sick, "but I can get that demonetized for you in no time. Now, was it Dash that triggered your anxiety or was it something else?"
Danny lifted his head to look at the Counselor, but he couldn't hold his gaze on her face for more than a few seconds and he looked away again, embarrassment making his cheeks pink. He felt like a rock of shame was resting on his chest, it's heavy weight bringing him down.
He wouldn't tell her about Vlad or what really caused the attack, but he supposed he could let her in on some things. She was a counselor after all.
"I don't know. I guess I've just been really stressed lately. With Dash's bullying and my father in court a lot trying to get restraining orders while also sewing Dash and Quan's family." He stared at his crossed shoelaces as his toes fidgeted against the roof of his shoes.
"Why on earth would Dash want to bully you, Danny?" She asked with a shrug, "you seem like a nice person."
Danny sighed, "well, he started bullying me ever since he found out I was gay, so I guess that's it."
"Ooooh," She said with a drag of recognition in her voice, "I see. What is it that he calls you? An abomination? Are you ashamed of your sexuality Danny?"
"What?" His head shot up and it was the first time he was able to look her dead in the eye, "of course not."
She smirked and pushed her glasses farther up her nose, "good, so then I'm sure your parents know all about how different you are from everyone else."
Danny's face fell again at the word 'different' and he quickly broke from their eye contact in an attempt to hide his uncertainty. "Actually, I've never told my parents." He was sure they would accept it if they knew though.
Spectra put a hand on his shoulder again, and the contact made him nervous for reasons unknown to him. He felt so nauseous and he wanted nothing more than to go home right then. "Don't worry Danny, parents usually beat their children for having these strange characteristics, but I hear Jack Fenton is much kinder than that."
Danny was about to snap at her that his father would never hurt him, but suddenly his phone rang a few times and Danny glanced down at his pocket.
"Who's that, sweetie?"
"Probably my friends wondering where I am. We usually go out for lunch." He picked up his phone and saw the message ID's on the lock screen, but for some reason, he didn't move to open the messages or even text back.
"How supportive are your friends, Danny? I read on your file that your parents are divorced. Were they there for you during that time?"
The raven could feel himself shaking, "Uh. Yeah, they divorced a year and a half ago. My friends helped me through that a lot. They are very supportive." He felt cold despite how hot it was in the room.
"Aww. I'm sorry about that Danny. Though you shouldn't feel like you're a burden to your friends, I'm sure nobody blames you for your parent's separation and they don't mind dealing with the mood swings that come with your situation." She pet his hair, but the motion was anything but comforting.
Danny's eyes widened, his body becoming stiff. "I- I've never felt like a burden." Now that he thought about it though, how okay were his friends about answering the phone when he called after nightmares? How okay were they with staying with him when he asked instead of going home? How many times had he lashed out because of the anger he felt at his mother leaving him and his dad? Was he really a burden?
Why wasn't he comfortable telling his parents about his sexuality? He swore he trusted them. So why hadn't he done it yet? Was he really ashamed of himself?
No, he shook his head, trying to get the thought out of his mind. He loved Phantom. He was not ashamed of being with him. He had never felt bad about being attracted to guys, it was not some deep angst problem that poisoned his mind. His problem was Vlad, he forced himself to remember; his stress stemmed from what Vlad did to him. Nothing else.
"I should go," Danny said as he got up and opened his phone to respond to their group chat, "they're waiting for me."
Spectra let him get up, taking her hand off his head and watching as he grabbed his stuff and went to the door. "It was great seeing you, Danny. Come again at any time. I'm always here if you wanna talk."
Danny wordlessly glanced at her, giving her a small depressed smile of thanks before walking out.
Spectra tilted her head back and smirked, breathing in and releasing a pleased sigh.
...
"Dude," Tucker started, "you okay? You barely touched your patty melt."
Danny roughly turned his head in Tucker's direction. "Huh? Yeah, I'm fine, I'm just not really hungry right now. I'll finish it later." Danny rewrapped the foil around the burger, sighing when he realized he was only able to stomach a couple of small bites.
"You wanna talk about it?" Sam asked, concern morphing her expression and practically traumatizing Danny.
"There's nothing to talk about. I said I'm fine." Danny almost hissed.
Sam and Tucker's eyes widened, and Phantom turned his head at him.
Danny immediately felt bad, he had no idea he had such a temper. Did his friends always have to deal with this?
"Sorry dude, you're just acting really strange today. Did something happen at school?" Tucker sipped at his coke, trying to speak as gently as possible, not liking the defeated look in Danny's purposely averting eyes.
Danny denied again, "nothing happened at school." He sipped at his own coke, "I'm probably just tired. I didn't sleep well last night." He lied so easily to them that it made him feel terrible. Though he was sure they knew he wasn't telling the truth, he was a bad liar and they've known him since they were 3.
Sam and sticker looked at each other before looking at Phantom for help. The merman shrugged at them though, not about to expose what was on Danny's mind if the boy didn't wanna talk.
Not yet anyway.
Sam sighed, "Alright Danny when you're ready to talk, we're here."
Danny shrank a little more in the booth, of course they were. They were always there, even when they didn't want to be, even when it was inconvenient for them. He wished he could just go home, maybe spend the rest of his life in bed.
He needed to stop being a burden.
Phantom stared at the back of Danny's head as the raven stared out the window. Something had definitely happened at the counselor's office, something very weird. Danny was not normally this melancholy, nor was he ever this irritable around him or his friends.
Something really strange was going on.

...
Phantom walked through the halls. 7th period was about to end in a few minutes and Danny's condition had only gotten worse since lunch. Something wasn't right, and Phantom was on his way to figure out what that fishy smell was.
He pushed open the door to the counselor's office, but he realized too late that the wave of nausea that invaded his stomach at that moment was from the heat that filled the room like a dessert in the middle of the school.
Immediately, he turned around to get the hell out, but the familiar face of the woman shutting the only exit stopped him.
His eyes flashed blue as his body attempted to regulate his body temperature. How hot was it in here?
"Spectra," he growled out with as much venom as he could.
Her green eyes watched him as she stood between him and the door, "Well, hello, Phantom. Long time no see."
"What are you doing in Danny's school?" He could take a guess. He knew she was different from normal sirens; she was also a succubus, a siren that fed on man's misery. Usually, when she fed, humans always ended up more depressed and more miserable than they already were. So much so, that they became suicidal and eventually killed themselves, via letting themselves drown or slitting their wrists on the beach.
Phantom's eyes reverted back to green, unable to keep himself cool anymore in the extreme heat. It had to be over 100 degrees in there. His knees started to feel wobbly as his body became heavy and his breath short.
Spectra giggled, "You don't look so good Phantom." She played with the thermostat right by her head, and Phantom knew that she was raising the temperature. "Don't you know that ice melts in the heat?"
The pain started to curl in the merman's stomach, and he couldn't help but fold his arms around himself from the discomfort. "You aren't going to finish him." He forced out from the tightness in his throat. This was not good. Especially when he tried to take a step towards the female siren and he collapsed to the ground. He was barely able to catch himself on his unusually weak arms before he could smash his face against the tile below him.
"Actually Phantom, you are right," Spectra smirked, and Phantom groaned with the effort of lifting his head to glare at the woman with glowing crimson eyes. "I won't be finishing Danny. He will be finishing himself by the time I'm done with him."
Her intentions became clear when she opened the door behind her and left, but not before setting the thermostat to 130 degrees and breaking it off the wall so that even if Phantom was able to crawl over in an attempt to lower the temperature, he wouldn't be able to. She was going to leave him here to die while she went to go find Danny and make him wish he were dead.
Fenton would be dead before the end of the day if this plan worked, and something other than the effect of the blistering heat settled in Phantom's throat and chest. It was somehow more painful than the pain of him actively dying, and the only thing he could think about was how much he needed to get to Danny. Hades's second attempt on Fenton's life was about to be successful if he didn't get up off this floor and get to him.
Phantom tried to get up and run over to the door, but he couldn't even get up off the floor let alone run. Sweat was dripping down the sides of his face and his flesh felt like it was on fire. The heat burned like he was trapped under the weight of a thousand hot rocks.
Vaguely he was aware that his skin was turning red as blisters started to form on his arms and hands, and probably his face, but there was nothing he could do about it. The world was spinning around him and for the first time, Phantom was actually worried that this was the end for him as he collapsed onto his back.
The last thing he saw before he passed out, was Spectra locking the door with her final farewell, "Goodbye Phantom, I would say it was nice knowing you, but I think we both know that would be a lie. Maybe you will see Danny soon, after Hades take both of your souls that is. Tah Phantom, sleep well."
...
Danny glanced around himself, on his way to gym. It was 2 minutes to 8th period and he wanted nothing more than to just get the day over with. He could see people staring at him as he passed so he pulled his hoody farther down to hide his face, hoping nobody would approach him. It was bad enough that he had Dash out to get him, he didn't need everyone staring at him like he was some kind of circus freak.
He was about to turn the corner and enter the gym when he suddenly collided with something squishy.
Danny regained his balance and straightened himself out as he looked up to see who he crashed into and his eyes widened when he was greeted by his counselor. "Oh my gosh," he exclaimed when he realized he walked face first right into her chest, "I'm so sorry, I should have been paying more attention-."
She held a hand up to stop his stammering, "It's okay Danny, even though that is typically inappropriate, it is okay because I know that you aren't into the female anatomy like normal people."
Danny blinked and frowned, "Um. Yeah? Okay, well, excuse me, I'm trying to get to the gym." He tried to pass her but she suddenly grabbed his shoulder, her grip a little tighter than what was comfortable.
Danny trembled.
"Danny, wait, how are you doing?" Ms. Spectra asked.
The raven hunched his shoulders, wishing that his face could somehow hide underneath them, "I'm fine, I just want to go home." He had never felt so uncomfortable in his own skin. It was like depression was a seasoning, and someone had made him overly salty with it. He felt covered in misery from head to toe like he had bathed in it for 24 hours and he was now being marinated for the slaughter.
"Is it all the eyes on you, sweetie?" She giggled, "Don't worry about them, it's not your fault they think you're an attention seeking loser."
Danny flinched at both the judgment happening around him and the weight of the counselor's hand on his shoulder.
"How are you and that Dan boy doing? It's all over the media that you two are together."
Danny glanced up at her, he hadn't noticed their relationship was so public. Did that mean his parents knew about his sexuality?
He didn't understand why the thought filled him with so much dread. What would happen if his father found out how different he was?
"Dan and I are great." The raven said bitterly as he stared down at the ground.
"Oh yeah? 'Cause I heard that Ember visited your house last night. She is really pretty and the media says that she was seen leaving your house very late at night. A little too late at night to be considered a friendly visit." She turned Danny around and lifted his chin so he would look at her, "You aren't worried are you?"
"What?" He asked. No, he trusted Phantom. If Phantom said that there was nothing between him and Ember, then there was nothing to be worried about. "Of course not. Why would I be?"
"Well I only mean that Dan is living with you, and therefore, he is forced to be around you all the time." her eyes seemed too deep and too sharp to be considered normal, but the emerald green captivated him. "I am just worried about you Danny, I don't want you to feel like Dan actually has feelings for you if he is simply being sucked in by how forward you are in your sexuality."
Danny's eyes clenched in anger, and he ripped his face away from her grip, "How could you say that?"
Spectra shrugged, "He's just really famous Danny. People like him never stay with the same person for very long. I've seen him around and I got to tell you, he doesn't seem like the type to enjoy serious long-lasting relationships."
Danny said nothing, he was too outraged to say anything, so instead, he just backed away from the counselor. Her smirk seemed so satisfied, as she took a step closer to him. The halls were mostly cleared and the people that lingered paid no mind to Spectra or Danny, just trying to get to class before the bell rang.
When the redhead put a hand on his shoulder again, Danny's eyes fell to her feet for the billionth time that day. "Don't worry, sweetie, I'm sure your heart can take it."
The raven backed away some more, and this time Spectra allowed him.
Screw gym, screw class, screw his grades and his attendance, he was going home.
Danny turned and left. He would just go out the other door to his car; he didn't want to have to deal with his couches questions if he saw him.
Every step that he took felt like he hand dumbells tied to his ankles, and the heavy weight in his chest only seemed to get heavier.
Did Phantom really feel that way? Had Danny forced his sexuality on the merman? He didn't remember Phantom ever telling him that he was attracted to him. The merman had never told Danny how exactly he felt about him. In fact, now that Danny thought about it, he and Phantom never actually established that Phantom went into this romantic relationship with him willingly.
Danny stopped in his tracks.
Phantom was never going to love him back, was he? He was a siren, and no matter how much Danny hoped and wished that the merman would somehow learn to love him, he was just being naive. Wasn't he?
Spectra hid far enough away behind Danny so that the boy wouldn't notice her there, smirking as her plan played out just as she wanted it. When she could sense that Danny was right at the edge, she blew the glowing green dust in her palm towards him, watching as he breathed it in and his eyes dilated.
When Danny hopped in his car and started the drive home with only one thought on his mind, Spectra knew that her job was done.
...
Tucker whistled a soft tune as he exited his 8th class on his way to the restroom, admiring the decor around him. There were still some posters of Ember that were forgotten, some art projects, a wet paint sign, some pictures of the life cycle of turtles, Phantom unconscious on the counselor's office floor, a life-sized statue of a DNA sample-
Tucker froze, the souls of his shoes skidding on the tiled floor.
He quickly ran to the door of the counselor's office, just to make sure he wasn't imagining things, and it appeared that he wasn't. His eyes widened in worry when he saw that Phantom indeed was unconscious and unmoving on the floor inside the office, and Tucker tried the door handle only to find that it was locked.
Well, this was a problem, Tucker determined when he realized that not only was Phantom unconscious, but he was apparently purposely left there by someone. Tucker touched the window and hissed, pulling it back.
His eyes widened in realization, and he cursed under his breath. It was too hot in there and he needed to get Phantom out. He remembered what Danny said about Phantom getting sick in extreme heat, and if the window burned him, then the merman was definitely unconscious in extreme heat and was in grave danger.
Tucker pulled out his wallet and pulled out his library card. He had to figure out how to open the door.
Quickly slipping the card in the crack of the door, he slid it around trying to push the lock aside.
"Come on, come on." sweat slipped down the side of Tuckers face, and he was completely concerned with how long Phantom had been in there like that.
When the card didn't work he threw it down angrily and fished in his pockets for plan B. Which he found would have to be the bobby pin he kept in his pocket for no other reason but instinct.
Tricking the lock was Sam's specialty, but he was going to have to become an expert in .3 seconds or he was going to start panicking over the merman's eerily motionless form.
When the bobby pin snapped in two in the lock and became utterly useless, Tucker cursed loudly.
It was time for plan C.
"Hold on, Phantom." He said as he stepped back about ten feet before running full speed towards the door.
The collision broke the lock and shattered the door frame, making a loud noise that reverberated throughout the hall. That didn't matter to him though as he was hit with the full heat of the room, hotter than any summer and stuffier than any hot car he had ever found himself stuck in.
He made his way to Phantom's body and lifted him up by the arms, dragging him out of the room. He winced when he saw the number of burns on the exposed parts of the merman's skin, but of course, Phantom's superhuman abilities won out and after a few seconds of being in the uncomfortably cold air of the hallway, the merman opened his eyes and took a deep breath.
Danny.
Tucker ran to the vending machine and shoved a dollar bill in it for a water bottle as students started making their way into the hall to see what the loud crash was, but by the time they made their way into a circle around Phantom, the merman's burns had already healed.
Tucker ran over to him and uncapped the water bottle as Phantom's dizzy and disoriented eyes tried to focus. The younger teen held the water to the merman's lips and helped him take a few drinks, careful not to let it spill over on the siren's skin and expose him.
"What's going on?"
"Is he okay?"
"He's so pale."
"Oh my god, that room is so hot."
"Doesn't he have some weird allergy to heat?"
"Did Foley just bust that door down to save him?"
"How did Dan get stuck in there?"
"My god, he's sexy when he's in danger."
The voices around him seemed to bring Phantom down to Earth as teachers pushed through the crowd of students.
"Mr. Foley! Care to explain why you damaged school property?" a female science teacher put her hands on her hips as she prepared to either scold Tucker or send them both to the principal's office.
Not that Phantom was going to stick around to find out which would happen.
Danny.
He shot to his feet, grabbing onto Tucker for balance when his vision went dark for a moment. "Woah dude, take it easy." the African said as he steadied the merman.
Phantom took off a second later though, not allowing his dizziness to stop him further as he pushed through the teachers and the students, leaving Tucker there to handle the situation himself. He needed to find Danny fast, and he allowed his nose to lead him straight to the human. He could make it up to Tucker later if the boy wished, but he didn't care about anything at the moment.
At least not about anything but the strangely overpotent smell of Danny, which could only mean one thing.
Fenton was bleeding.
A lot.
