"Come on. Work..." Danny sauid, clenching his fists together, attempting to make a solid weapon out of his ecto-energy.

A long, translucent, object appeared in his hands, but disappeared in a few seconds.

"Damn it! Why can't I do this?!"

"Trying to make something out of ecto?" Dani asked. She had come in to see Danny practicing. It wasn't too hard to figure out what he was trying to do with how the ecto was moving.

"So far I've at least been able to pull off everything I've seen Vlad do, and more, except this. I mean, normally it wouldn't bother me, since I've got a couple tricks Vlad doesn't. But with everything going on right now, we need all the help we can get."

"Maybe I can help?" Dani asked, floating closer. "Vlad was teaching me how our powers work. I just had to stop because of that little melting problem when we were going into the higher energy usage stuff," she added. After all, there was a reason Dani was good enough to have a fighting chance against Danny despite less time with the powers.

"Nah, kinda want to figure it out myself. Been doing it that way since I got the powers and it's worked out fairly well so far. Only thing I actually needed help with was the ice powers." Danny says, trying to creating an ecto-sword again. This one lasts a few seconds longer than the last.

"Which reminds me, if you start feeling really, really cold at some point for no apparent reason? Tell me as soon as you can. You've got the ghost sense, so I'm pretty sure you're going to get them sooner or later."

"You have ice powers?" Dani asked, looking surprised.

"Yeah. Y'know how everything gets cold when our ghost sense goes off? Well the ice powers are the source of that apparently. But the ghost sense is only the ice powers in really small bursts, so eventually all that extra cold built up to the point where I couldn't control it anymore. Luckily, Frostbite, the ghost who's the leader of the Far Frozen, helped me figure them out."

"Really? I always thought we were just sensitive to the cold aura ghosts are supposed to give off," Dani said with a thoughtful look.

"That night be part of it too, but if you got that tidbit from Vlad, I'd like to point out he doesn't have a ghost sense or ice powers, so I doubt he'd know.

"I actually kind of figured it out for myself. I was doing ghost research on my own," Dani said.

"Right, because of the whole..." Melting into ectoplasm was left unsaid, and Danny decided to change the subject.

"Eh, if I keep trying to do this right now I think I'm gonna have an aneurysm, which won't help anyone. So, anything you needed me for or did you just come in to see me practice?"

Dani nodded. "Why I looked up Biology too," she added.

"To see you practice, pretty much," Dani said and paused, looking thoughtful. "Unless you want to teach me that wail thing..."

"Considering the reason I had too figure out to do it was do it or die horribly, probably not a good idea to try to teach it to you. I wasn't even supposed to figure out I could do it for 10 years. If it hadn't been for a time travel incident I wouldn't have it now."

"Really? Guess that explains why it tires you out so much," Dani commented. Still, when she thought about it...

"Could you tell me how you do it? I mean, you really think I won't be in a situation where I won't die horribly?" She asked. She was rather casual about it. It was a truth she accepted.

One she embraced, really. Since she could die horribly in a fight, it meant she was alive enough where she had a chance to fight.

"Uh, screaming real loud and forcing ecto into it is pretty much it. That and just wanting end the fight as soon as possible."

Dani looked at him thoughtfully. "I guess I should get used to being more...emotional with using my powers," she commented. She was used to Vlad's way, studying what abilities came up to use them to their full affect.

That's why she had been so good at ecto blasts in the time it took Danny to stop accidentally phasing through the floor.

"Yeah, that and a few other things. You might've been created by one, but you're not a Masters. You're a Fenton. Cold and logical is not what we are, and while that may have a negative effect on long term planning skills, it is partly responsible for the insane, improvised plans that are the reason I keep kicking Vlad's creepy butt."

"Well, it did help with keeping my powers in check so I didn't me-" Then Dani froze, her eyes widening as she actually registered his words.

She looked at him in almost awe. "I'm....a Fenton?" She asked quietly.

"Yes?" Seriously, he has no idea why you're so surprised by this Dani.

Dani stared at him, that shock and awed expression still on her face.

The name Dani, the name Phantom. That was his, and he had accepted her as his clone. She felt it was fine to use those names because she was accepted as part of his ghost life.

She never took the name Fenton. Fenton was his family, his human life, the normal life. The life she was aware of, the life she had protected by trying not to depend on him to help her get through life.

But he had. He said she was a Fenton, family even in his normal life. She felt tears well up in her eye before she could stop them.

Danny might have had no idea why she was surprised, but it meant a lot to her, that he accepted her completely as family. "T-thank you!" She said, immediately wrapping her arms around him even as tears fell.

"You're welcome Dani. Seriously though munchkin, I've always thought you were a Fenton."

Dani hugged him tighter in response, though of course not tight enough to hurt or anything. "Thanks, Danny...that...that means a lot to me," she said, smiling even with the tears.
