Chapter 3

Previously....

"Fuck, now they know about Danielle. I better tell her. Maybe as Phantom." Fantomo said as he closed his eyes and pulled at the familiar cold in his chest. White rings appeared around his waist traveling vertically in opposite directions.

His orange clothing changed into something like a medieval knight. He wore black armor all over without a helmet. There was a green skull with horns where his belt should be. Around his neck was a green chain which was attached to a white cape. On his right chest was a small white DP symbol. Above his head was a green flaming crown and on his right hand was a glowing red ring.

Fantomo looked at it with sad eyes as his cape whipped around him. Fantomo went invisible and disappeared from his cell, going hell knows where.

----Line Break-----

Now...

Happy Harbor High school. One of the only schools in Happy Harbor which provided kids with a normal education. An invisible Fantomo drifted through the halls of Harbor High looking around for his daughter, Danielle.

"Hey, Dani!" Someone called out making Fantomo turn towards the person. He saw a young girl as she waved over to someone. Fantomo followed her field of vision to see his daughter. Though Fantomo had stopped aging at 24, Danielle stopped aging at 16. Fantomo smiled as he watched his daughter stride into the hallway, grabbing the attention of everyone in the hall.

Fantomo silently chuckled as he realized that Danielle and Fantomo had different experiences in highschool. Well, Fantomo could have been popular in highschool if his parents weren't ghost hunters but it didn't really matter. And Danielle was perfect the way she was. She had begged him to go back and forth from high school to college since it would be easier. She was trying to copy her favorite book, Twilight, which was 20 years ago. Fantomo could never understand the hype for it.

He was thrown out of his thoughts when the bell rang. He quickly went next to Dani and followed her into her first period of the day, Calculus BC. Fantomo could never understand why Dani wanted to take the harder classes but it didn't really matter to him since she had taken the course over and over again. He flew over to next to her seat and quietly touched the floor, never losing his invisibility.

Dani sat down at her chair opening her notebook. She shivered a bit since the temperature in the room had dropped and quickly realized something. She looked around at her peers before whispering.

"You here, dad?" Dani whispered keeping an eye on the board, making sure to take notes. She heard a slight chuckle next to her and immediately knew she was right.

"Yeah, I'm here. I wanted to tell you something." Fantomo whispered as Dani scribbled some notes in her notebook. She could berate her dad on the lack of timing but if it was important than she could let it slide.

"What? It better be important." Dani whispered harshly and image her dad wincing.

"It is. You probably heard about the League and Skulker, right?" Dani nodded. She had heard rumors that the League had gained another member. She doubted it since she knew that it was her father, and judging from the past, he would not even think about beating evil doers up again. "Well, I helped them but not that I wanted to. They're looking into me and sent Wonder Woman to ask me questions." Dani smiled. Wonder Woman was one of her favorite heroes of this time since she was all about girl power.

"Okay? What does this have to do with me?" Dani whispered as she heard a sharp intake of breath.

"It was lunch and they snuck into my cell. And they found a picture of you." Dani took all it had not to scream out but raised her hand. Fantomo stayed silent knowing what she was doing.

"Yes, Miss Casper?" The teacher, Mrs. Morgan, asked. Dani gave her one of her million dollar smiles.

"May I go to the bathroom, please?" Dani asked politely, not wanting to tick the easily tempered teacher off. Mrs. Morgan waved her hand and Dani got up. Fantomo quietly followed her into the girls bathroom. He let himself become visible and floated down onto the floor. Danielle turned around with anger all over her face.

"You let them know about me?! Now the Young Justice will come after me!" Danielle said angrily as Fantomo furrowed his eyebrows.

"Young Justice? I never heard about a Young Justice." Fantomo said as Danielle crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.

"They're like the Justice League's sidekicks. They only do like infiltration and what-not when the Justice League can't do it. Two of their members are here. I don't want anymore to be here." Dani said as she looked away.

"Can you tell me where they're based? I want a full run through of them and make sure if they ask you any questions about me, just avoid it." Fantomo said as Dani looked back at him. He could still see the anger on her face. "Look, Danielle. I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean for it to get so blown up like this." Danielle sighed and shook her head.

"Fine, but you have to promise me something." Fantomo looked at his daughter with pleading eyes. "If Phantom does get revealed, you are not to move me away until my highschool career here is over with, understand?" Dani raised her eyebrow waiting for approval. Fantomo sighed and nodded his head.

"Fine. Just be safe. You're my daughter but you're also a clone. I don't want anyone to harm you especially the League." Fantomo gave Dani a kiss on her head before turning invisible and leaving. Danielle huffed and walked out of the bathroom to bump into a familiar girl. A brunette.

"Oh, sorry about that." Dani said as she looked up into one of the people that she wished to not see, Megan Morse. Megan smiled and held out a hand, helping Dani up.

"No, it's okay. No harm done. See you later, Danielle." Megan ran away and Dani sighed. One of the people she didn't want to see, Megan Morse aka Miss Martian.

"I have too much to deal with as a teenager."

----Line Break----

The bioship landed back Mount Justice along with the Bat plane behind it. The team filed out and Batman jumped out of his.

"Did you learn anything?" He asked in his low voice, scaring Kid Flash the most. Robin handed him a camera where it showed a picture of a young girl. Batman rose an eyebrow as he handed it back to Robin. "Find who that girl is and report it to Black Canary. I have to go." Batman walked over to the zeta tubes and disappeared in the light. Kid sighed as he ran over to the sofa.

"That wasn't even a mission but there was barely anything in that guy's cell." Kid said as Miss Martian nodded.

"But the cell didn't really look like a cell, compared to the other prisoners. Why don't the guards say something?" Miss Martian asked as Robin narrowed his eyes.

"Which is why we need to research about this girl." Robin said as Superboy looked at the picture. His eyes widened as he recognized the girl in the picture. Her beautiful raven hair and bright blue eyes.

"Her name is Danielle Casper. She's the most popular and smartest girl at Happy Harbor High." Superboy said as everyone looked to the clone. They all knew that he had a temper but this time he seemed tame.

"She goes to your school?! I wish I could go to that school just to meet her." Kid said as he wolf whistled. Superboy sent him a glare which shut Kid up.

"Do you think you can get close to her in order to learn more information?" Aqualad asked as Superboy sent Miss Martian a nervous look. She immediately perked up and nodded.

"Yes, we can do it. After all, she's the most popular girl at our school. Shouldn't be too hard to talk to her at school." Miss Martian sent a look at Superboy who seemed nervous about what Aqualad had asked of them.

---Line Break---

Batman sat in the Watchtower screen room. His eyes darting left and right, taking in all the images around him. Though his eyes seemed to be paying attention to the screen, his brain was not. Batman was too engrossed in who Fantomo was as Warden Hughes wasn't much help.

"Ms. Hughes, could you please tell me more about Fantomo? It seems that the last time Wonder Woman was here, she did not find enough information." Batman said as Warden Hughes sat across from him. She sighed as she pinched the bridge of her nose, a sign of agitation.

"Look just like I told Wonder Woman, Fantomo isn't really a topic to be discussed. What he has told me and other prisoners remains a secret. And that Fantomo isn't really a topic." She said as Batman took a deep breath.

"You misunderstand me, Ms. Hughes. I wanted to know about why he came here in the first place since Wonder Woman claimed that he was not shackled here in the terms of the law." Batman watched intensely as the warden sighed.

"Which is true. Fantomo just appeared one day in front of the prison asking to see me. He wanted to be inside of here because of a crime that he committed. When I asked him, all I saw was a sorrowful look in his eyes and it reminded me of someone close to me." She said as Batman tried to look for any signs of lying or something more.

"What do you mean?" He asked as she trailed off.

"His eyes reminded me of how a person looks when someone close to them dies. Like he blames himself." She said as Batman nodded, though he was a bit agitated that he couldn't see through her expressions.

"So you allow an innocent or possibly harmful individual to stay here and use the taxpayer's money in order to provide for this one individual?" Batman watched as the warden's eyes hardened.

"Batman, I don't believe that you went to jail before or to any kind of correctional facility. But you don't quite understand what we do here." She said catching the bat themed hero off guard. "Although I can assume that you may feel guilty for many things in your life. If you felt guilt or regret for something that you could have done, I assure you that you would want to live a life behind bars for what crime you think you committed. Now, please have a nice day." Batman watched, speechless, as the warden walked out of the room back into the prison.

He had never met someone in a long time who could have rendered him speechless. This was new to him but he wondered if this could have something to do with Fantomo's past. Maybe Fantomo felt guilt or regret of an event that he felt was his fault. Almost like how Batman felt remorse over his parents' death and couldn't do anything.

"Batman." A voice brought him out of his thoughts as he looked down to see Green Lantern. "You need to come and see this." Batman's eyebrows scrunched together in confusion. His chair lowered down and Batman immediately went after Green Lantern. Once he caught up, he found that he was looking at a giant tv.

"What is this?" He asked as a pungy man in blue overalls, was floating around causing mayhem to the students in Happy Harbor. This farmer person had the same unearthly glow as Skulker had.

"He calls himself the Box Ghost. Kind of a stupid name if you ask me." Green lantern said as he covered his chuckle with his hand. Batman sent him a glare which made Green Lantern immediately shut up.

"I want you and Hawkgirl to go to Happy Harbor High school and try to keep this...Box Ghost busy." Batman said as Green Lantern immediately started for the Zeta tubes. Batman turned to look at the window staring into space. He sighed and shook his head.

"I want to know what is causing this. And when I find out, I wonder what will change," He said before leaving the room to go watch the monitors. In the empty room, there was a dark chuckle.

"Oh, Justice League. It will be amusing watching you struggle to save this world. I hope you are ready, Phantom." Red eyes appeared from the window pointing to space. And sharp canines could be seen as laughter erupted from them, cold malicious laughter.
