Batman had been searching, and searching, and searching for something on Phantom but he couldn't find anything. That's why he widened his search to ghosts in general, after a while he finally found something. A town called Amity park was apparently famous for ghost activity until about a year ago when the ghosts suddenly disappeared.

A famous ghost called Phantom disappeared at the same time and it was a question amongst the people in the town if he was good or bad. Batman searched a little more and found out that there are even ghost hunters in the town. A person called Red Huntress and a family, the Fentons, who were the worlds leading ghost experts.

Batman did some more digging into the ghost hunters and found out that on the same day the ghosts disappeared so did a boy named Daniel Fenton. Batman looked at all of the information before he got up and went to find Robin who was in the mansion. Batman, now Bruce Wayne, found the young teen in the living room doing his homework and texting someone.

Based on the fact that it looked like the phone like device Phantom had given him he guessed it was Phantom. Bruce raised an eyebrow but he didn't comment on it yet and he sat down on the recliner close to the couch. Richard sent the text and he looked at Bruce, "Do you need something?"

"Were you just texting Phantom?"

"Yeah, so what do you really want to talk about?"

Bruce mentally sighed, "I found something interesting when I was trying to find something on Phantom."

Richard leaned back on the couch, "And what would that be?"

"Phantom was first seen in a town called Amity park and he later disappeared as well as the rest of the ghosts and a boy named Daniel Fenton."

Richard crossed his arms, "I know, I found all of that on my own and Phantom confirmed it."

"What happened to Daniel Fenton?"

Richard sighed, "You might have found out a few things but you're still missing some major details. If you see Phantom again you can ask him but I can't guarantee that he'll tell you anything, I wouldn't blame him if he didn't." Bruce was going to speak but Richard cut him off, "Before you ask, no, I won't tell you anything."

Bruce sighed before he got up and headed to the batcave to see if he could find out anything else. Hours passed and night had fallen on the city of Gotham but the dynamic duo were at the mountain. Robin and the team had just been given their mission when Robin got a call and he immediately knew who it was.

Everyone gave him strange looks but he wasn't paying attention as he took the device out and walked a few feet away. Robin accepted the call and put the phone up to his ear, "Hello."

Phantom laughed a little on the other end, "Sorry to bother you but I've got a problem and I can't ask anyone else for help."

Robin's eyes widened a little and he stopped breathing for a second, "Where are you?"

"Gotham, I'm in an alley across from a restaurant, it's Indian themed and has lights in the bushes outside."

Robin's heart was beating quickly and he was getting more worried with every second that passed. "I'll be there as soon as I can, don't move." Robin hung up and left the mountain without explaining what was going on to his team or Batman. Robin exited the zeta tube and he was glad that it was only a few blocks away from where Phantom said he was.

Robin ran as quickly as he could and when he was outside of the restaurant he crossed the street to the alley and he ran through it to find Phantom. He found the teen hiding in the shadows behind some stacked boxes and Robin was at his side in an instant. Phantom had his hand over a wound just below his rib cage and it was bleeding heavily, there was way to much blood.

Robin panicked as Phantom managed to open his eyes and look at the young hero with dull eyes. The halfa's glow was just barely present and he looked horrible, the wound on his stomach wasn't the only wound he had. Robin held Phantom's face and turned the barely conscious teens face toward him, "I'm here Phantom, just keep your eyes open."

Phantom managed to nod and Robin turned on his halo-glove and typed a few things in as fast as he could. Robin quickly called Batman and he kept talking to Phantom as he waited for him to pick up. Then the Dark Knight picked up, "Robin-"

Robin didn't give him time to say anything else, "Batman, Phantom's hurt, he's losing a lot of blood, and he needs help!"

Batman paused for a split second before he spoke again, "How badly is he hurt?"

"Lets just say I'm surprised he's still alive and I can't imagine how much pain he's in right now." Phantom's eyes started to close and Robin held Phantom's face with his free hand again, "Keep your eyes open Phantom, I know it's hard but please keep your eyes open."

The white haired teens eyes opened a little wider and Robin spoke into the phone again, "He can't go to the hospital and I don't think I should move him."

Batman thought for a split second, "I'll meet you both where you are, just stay there and do anything you can to keep him from bleeding out." Batman hung up and Robin wondered what he could do before he came up with something and he tore his cape. Robin wrapped the pieces around the worst wounds and he hardly breathed as he waited for Batman.

A few minutes later Batman got there and when he saw Phantom he was horrified but he didn't let it phase him. Phantom coughed and blood came from his mouth as he struggled to keep his eyes open. Batman knelt down next to the teen and Phantom couldn't even find the energy to growl, he just continued to take extremely labored breaths.

Batman carefully picked him up and Phantom hissed in pain but didn't do anything else. Batman carried the teen to the batmobile and Robin was right behind him, once Phantom was inside the vehicle Robin got in. Batman got in and drove as quickly and carefully as he could so the turns and bumps in the road wouldn't hurt Phantom even more.

Batman finally got to the batcave and Batman carried Phantom out of the batmobile while Robin went to get Alfred. They weren't really worried about their secret identities at the moment and Alfred was better at taking care of wounds like this then either of them. When Robin practically dragged the older man into the cave he looked confused but when he saw Phantom his eyes widened.

He didn't even hesitate to tell the two what to get him so he could treat Phantom's wounds and started trying to stop the blood flowing from the wounds. After the two got the supplies they decided that they should leave so they wouldn't get in Alfred's way. The two changed out of their costumes because they were covered in Phantom's blood and they waited.

After hours of pacing, sitting, silently panicking, and several other things Alfred came upstairs. Robin, now Richard, ran over to the older man, "Is he okay?"

Alfred nodded, "He's alive, he had more wounds then I thought he did but I managed to take care of his wounds before he lost too much blood." Richard sighed in relief and Alfred continued, "I have no idea who would injure someone so severely, it was shocking."

Batman, now Bruce, looked confused, "What do you mean?"

"A number of the wounds were fatal, there was also... well..."

Richard had a feeling that he knew what Alfred was going to say and he stopped breathing for the third time that day. Bruce raised an eyebrow, "What is it?"

Alfred mentally sighed, "He had a number of scars, for some reason a few of them looked like-"

Richard cut him off, "Dissection scars."

The two looked at Richard and Bruce stared at him for a second, "Richard, do you know how he got those scars?"

Richard hesitated before he nodded, "That was one of the things he didn't want people to know about."

The two adults looked at each other and decided to not question Richard about it, he obviously didn't want to talk about it. Richard ended up going to watch over Phantom in case something happened, Bruce did paperwork in his office and Alfred cleaned. Of course they were all thinking the same thing, who hurt Phantom so badly?
