110Oh my days! Is it really me?! I'm not dead?! Please don't kill me for not updating sooner. Really sorry about that guys.
I hope you like this chapter. I had a bit of fun with it.
I do not own Danny Phantom or X-Men Evolution.
Enjoy!
Danny woke up in the middle of the night, his sensitive hearing picking up the sounds of someone having a nightmare. He briefly wondered if it was Rogue again. But she'd stopped having those nightmares when they'd learned that Mystique was Kurt's mother.
He got up and walked down the hall hearing the pained breathing as it led him to Logan's room. He knew better than to just enter so he decided to just keep an eye on him.
The next morning when Danny went down for breakfast he found Kitty commenting how she was enjoying the quiet. He smiled. He could hear the thunderous herd of teenagers coming down the hall as she uttered the words. He quickly moved out of the path of the door as they all bust through. Suddenly the room was no longer quiet but busy. He had to stop himself from laughing at the look on Kitty's face.
Then someone turned the tv volume up. Danny turned to see it was Logan. He was listening to the news report when he clutched his head in pain. Before Danny could ask what was wrong, he fled the room. None of the others made a move to find out what the problem was, so, with an eye roll, he ran off after Logan.
Danny knocked on Logan's door and turned the knob.
"Logan? It's Danny. I'm coming in." He quickly turned intangible as a precaution and stepped into the room. Logan was down on one knee in the middle of the room. He was gripping the sides of his head and clenching him eyes shut hard.
"Leave... Now... I can't... My head..."
"I'll be fine Logan. I have more control than Kitty, you can't touch me. What's the problem? What's wrong with your head?" Danny stood with his hands up in front of him, still intangible. He wasn't snapping that power off until he knew it was safe.
"I... I can't... Ah!" The claws came out from between his knuckles and he started tearing up the room. Soon Danny heard Kitty on the other side of the door. He groaned as Logan's claw went through and down the length of the door. How were they going to explain that one? He gained back some control and opened the door.
"Sorry!" Kitty said, noticing the state of the room. "I didn't... Are you ok?"
"It's fine," Danny said stepping between them before Kitty placed a hand on Logan's shoulder. Somehow he knew that would make it worse. "We were just..."
"Redecorating," Logan put in before walking off. Danny huffed and followed leaving a confused Kitty begind. Once they were out of earshot he turned to Logan and spoke with a determined voice.
"Although I personally don't like the idea of someone going through my head, the Professor might be able to figure out what's going on. Come on."
The three of them stood on one of the balconies on the front of the mansion. Logan wasn't exactly pleased at the fact that Danny was there, but Danny was not budging. He wanted to make sure Logan was ok. He was one of the only people in the building who had earned his full trust and respect. And according to the others, Logan respected him too. To a degree.
"Something in that news story set me off, Charles," Logan said groaning in annoyance.
"Why don't we talk about it?" Xavier asked gesturing to the bench in front of him. Logan sat down while Danny stood off to the side, watching and listening.
"There's something in my head. Buried there. How's about you see if you can pry it loose?"
"Alright," Charles said, moving his chair a bit closer. "But you'll have to relax." Logan scoffed but tried anyway and managed to at least relax his muscles a little.
Danny watched as the Professor placed his hand on Logan's head. Logan then screamed in pain as the memories surfaced. Both he and Xavier broke out in a cold sweat. Whatever the memories were, the were not something that Logan had ever wanted to remember.
"Please tell me that was a dream," Logan said as he sat back panting.
"I'm afraid not," Charles replied. "It was a memory. I believe it might be related to how you got your unusual implements." Now Danny was really interested. He took a few steps forwards. "Do you wish to continue?"
"Go for it," Logan replied bracing himself. Once again, Charles placed a hand on Logan's head and the two sat in obvious pain while Danny watched in anticipation.
"Whatever it is, that's where it started. With that ghoul in the black coat. He's the guy who did this. I gotta go." He went to walk away, but Charles placed a hand on his shoulder.
"You're going to that mountain, aren't you? The one you saw on the tv, and in your nightmares."
"Pick that up when you were inside my head?" Logan asked, shrugging his arm away from Charles.
"Do you want company?"
"Do I ever?"
"Well too bad. I'm coming with." Danny stepped forwards with a defiant look on his face. Logan opened his mouth to say something but Danny raised an eyebrow daring him to try and stop him. Logan just growled and walked off, Danny close behind.
They sat in the cockpit, both suited up checking all the plane's controls.
"You shouldn't have come," Logan said angrily from his seat beside Danny. "I'm losing control and you could get hurt."
"Logan, just trust me. I'll be fine. And I'm not leaving until I know you are too." Danny looked at Logan to see him close his eyes tight in concentration trying not to flip again. They then carried on making sure the jet was ready for take-off. Danny was sure he heard something but just shook it off thinking it was probably just the engines.
It wasn't long after the had taken off that he noticed blue furry fingers stretching towards Logan's shoulder. He managed to grab the hand and turn the owner intangible just in time before a claw phased straight through his head. Danny then phased himself throught the chair and pulled Kurt to the door of the cockpit where Kitty stood.
"Are you following us?" he asked as Logan got out of the pilot's chair and staggered towards them claws raised. He raised a shield to try and stop the older mutant and hold him back while he got the other two out of there.
"It wasn't on purpose!" Kitty replied holding up her hands in innocence.
"Just stay there. Don't come in here again. If you do, a claw probably will go through your head this time." At that, Logan broke through the shield and Danny locked the door. The last thing Kitty and Kurt saw as the doors closed was Danny trying to wrestle Logan back into his seat.
After finally getting Logan to calm down, the two had guided the jet to the mountains and landed in the forest. They were walking through when Logan clutched his head in pain.
"Are you ok?" Danny asked. Logan nodded and stood up straight. He started to sniff the air. Then, Sabertooth stepped out from behind a log.
"Hello Wolverine," he said with a wicked smile.
"Sabertooth," Wolverine growled. "I thought something stunk about this place."
The two lunged at each other. Danny tried to help but Wolverine told him not to. He prepared an ectoblast but the two enemies were so close to each other that firing would hit Wolverine too. Soon though, Sabertooth was down. Wolverine stood over him growling.
"Alright. Play time is over. Now I want some answers!"
"You'll get your answers, Wolverine," a voice said. They both turned to see an elderly bald man in a long black coat. "But you'll wish you hadn't." With that the man turned a dial on the remote in his hand. Wolverine immediately fell to the ground in pain.
"What are you doing?!" Danny asked running over to try and grab the remote. Before he got there he felt a sharp pain in his head and everything went black.
Danny woke up lying on his back. His head hurt a lot. Slowly images came back to him and he tried to sit up. But he couldn't. He tried to lift his arms but found his hands tied down. He tried to phase through the cuffs but immediately felt immense pain rush through his body.
"Ah! You're awake!" He turned to see the man in the black coat standing beside him with an evil grin plastered on his face.
"You!" Danny said holding himself back from using any powers knowing it would just result in more pain. "What did you do?"
"I realised that if you were with Wolverine, odds are, you're a mutant too. I ran a few tests and saw something I haven't seen for years. That's why I brought out the anti-ecto cuffs. I haven't used them for a long time, but they appear to work well."
"What do you want?" Danny spat at the old man.
"It's quite simple really. I want you to change into your other form. No use hiding. I know what you are." Danny shook his head. The man nodded and pulled out a remote from his pocket. He pressed a button and Danny felt searing pain run through his veins. A white ring appeared around his waiste. He grit his teeth as he forced it to disappear again. He then looked up at the man panting.
"Someone...tried this...once... I didn't...do it...for them... I won't...for you...either." The man merely leant closer.
"Well then, my boy. Why don't we see how persuasive I can be?" With that he turned a dial and the pain was back, but this time more intense. Another ring appeared around his waist. This one split a few inches before closing again. But this time it didn't disappear.
"Ah, progress," the man said with a smile. "I must attend to Wolverine but I hope for your sake that you've made even more progress by the time I come back." With that he set the machine that was forcing Danny's transformation to keep upping the power every few minutes and the strange man left. He left leaving Danny almost crying in pain.
By the time Wolverine came in, the rings around Danny were one at his ancles and one at his feet.
"I can't...hold it...any...longer!" Danny screamed. The rings passed over him completely and there he lay in his all black jumpsuit with white hair and green eyes. But the pain didn't stop. The machine was still on and upping the power. "Turn it off!" Wolverine lashed out at the machine with his claws and the pain subsided and the cuffs released his hands and feet.
"What did he do to you?" the older mutant asked looking over Danny's appearance.
"I'm fine," Danny replied forcing himself up no matter how much it hurt to move. "Just a bit sore. I'll explain everything later. Let's go kick that moron's ass." With that the two went off in search of the evil man in the black coat.
They found their way into the main control room and found the man they were looking for.
He grew angry at the sight of them and turned a nob on the control pad in front of him. Wolverine sank to the floor in pain. Danny, having been told on the way about the small chip, quickly turned Wolverine intangible and watched the small chip clatter to the ground.
Now the man was not only angry, but also afraid of what the two in front of him would do. He activated the four security drones in the room. Danny and Wolverine fought them off a bit but they were both still weak and in a lot of pain. They were grabbed and held up so they couldn't move. Danny was about to turn intangible when Kitty suddenly burst into the room.
"Ok, I see the problem!" she said as she phased through all the drones causing them to malfunction. Danny and Wolverine were dropped just as Kitty jumped out of the main control panel.
"It's about to get, like, totally hot in here!" she yelled. Danny and Wolverine weren't really listening though. They were more concentrated on the man in black as they walked towards him growling.
"Stop! This place is about to blow!" he called to them in a desperate attempt to save his skin.
"Let it!" Wolverine and Danny both yelled. "Kitty leave!"
"Not without you guys!" The Kurt popped in and grabbed a hold of her hand.
"No argument this time." And they were gone.
Just before the explosion erupted, Wolverine felt Danny's hand on his arm. He never felt the explosion. It was like everything went through him. Then he realised, Danny had turned them both intangible at the last minute.
Kitty and Kurt sat on a log overlooking the site where the castle used to stand. They thought their two mutant friends were dead. Then they saw them emerge from the rubble supporting each other. They were alive!
Danny looked up at the two and raised his hand before he fell to the floor, out cold. Wolverine wasn't far behind him.
Logan sat up suddenly finding himself in a bed.
"We're back at the institute," he heard a voice beside him. He turned to see Danny will a bandage wrapped around his upper right arm perched on the edge of the other bed.
"You gonna give me some answers now kid?" Logan asked as he remembered everything that had happened. Danny nodded. He then explained his old life, his parents and what had happened in the lab. Logan didn't say anything until he was finished.
"Does anyone else know?"
"Just Scott," Danny replied. Logan nodded.
"Well, that's quite some story you get there kid. One heck of a story."
And now Logan knows. Woop!
