By the time they arrived at Wes's house, Phantom was almost completely healed "is this the normal amount of time it takes for a ghost to heal? Because if so, becoming a ghost seems much more appealing now."

As they were entering the house Danni shook her head looking curiously at Danny "No. In fact, antipode to most beliefs, ghosts heal just as fast as a normal human. Phantom, of course, heals faster that normal. But, its never... like this. I wander if his ghost powers advanced or something..."

"Do you think he's well enough for me to tie him up? I mean, I don't want him to get away before I could ask any questions, and this is probably my best chance. But I also don't want to cause bacteria in his wound and infect it..." Wes seemed to be thinking out-loud rather than asking Danni as he put Phantom gently down on his chair. He bit back a sigh of relief as the static inside of him slowed down a bit as he let go, even though the static was now greatly fluctuating instead of a content rhythm like before. He actually kind of misses it...

Danni shrugged "Eh, he'll be fine. Here, you *might* want to use this." She said as she tossed him a ghost-proof Fenton fishing line.

Wes beamed "Thanks!" Then he paused and glanced at her direction suspiciously and with a dawning realization "Wait. Where... did you get this?"

"I may have, uhm, barrowed it from the Fenton's..."

Wes's eyes widen and turned a 180 to face her "you stole it?! Danni that's- that's not okay!"

Danni held up her hands "look. I'm gonna give it back when we're done, ok? They wont even notice that it was even gone. And, ah, you probably want to tie him up right about now."

Wes gave her a light glair "We're going to talk about this later." He stated as he tied Phantom as began to stir into a more stable state of consciousness.

"Ugh, how long was I out? Wait...Wes? Why- where...?-" Phantom asked curiously and slightly panicked. After he tried to jerk out of the restraints he then spotted Danni and slowly moved to the left to get a better view of her. As soon as she was in full view she waved with a mischievous gleam in her toxic green eyes and with a impish smirk.

Phantom's shoulders slummed as he gave her a look of slight bewilderment that seemed to ask her 'really?' Then he straitened up and looked back at Wes. "Well, I suppose it could be worse. There are so many questions I should ask here. First off, What the hell?"

"That's a exclamation of surprise, not a question." Wes stated absentmindedly.

Phantom rolled his eyes "Yes. Of course. Alright, why am I here?"

Wes crossed his arms and decided that there would be no beating around the bush "what did you do to Danny Fenton."

Phantoms eyes widen slightly in surprise and shock, then he quickly covered it up in a calm demeanor and replaced the shock with a (quite genuine, actually) look of bewilderment. "And why, pray tell, do you think I have any thing to do with Fenton?"

Wes open his mouth to tell him exactly why he would think that then froze.

Wait.

The accident,

Danni,

Phantom and Fenton never being in the same place.

...Dear lord, Wes felt like a idiot. As the puzzle pieces finally clicked into place Wes eyes widen and he stumbled back a few steps taking deep breaths.

Phantom and Danni looked at each other then looked at Wes slightly concerned "um, are you ok?" Phantom asked.

Wes looked at Phantom,

no, at Danny. "Because... your the same person! Fenton and Phantom are the same person. Oh my god, the names even sound familiar... How the hell did I miss this-"

While Danni was floating crossed leg in the air. When he said this her eyes widen and she fell to the wooden floor with a heavy thump. Danny, however stiffened and froze looking at Wes with disbelieving eyes. "w-what give's you that idea?!"

Wes shook his head "Danny, that's not going to work." Wes then nervously clinched his hands. "Um, wow. This is awkward. Ok, I'm going to let you go now. But, Can you stay? Please? I kinda want to clear some stuff up and explain myself. B-But you don't have to stay! I uh, I already took you as prisoner and- oh dear lord, I am so sorry! I- you know what? I'm just going to stop rambling now and just... err, untie you." Wes, keeping his word, untied his captive.

Danny has been kidnapped and captured (and thankfully, managed to escape) multiple times.

This time, however, was by far the most confusing. Not to mention, awkward.

Danny considered just leaving, but his curiosity was tacking up his mind in a storm he rubbed his wrists "uhm, alright. I'll stay."

Wes took a sigh of relief  "Thank you, anyway-" And so, Wes explained everything. To his suspicion to Danni crashing in the alleyway to well, where they were now. Wes sat down and rubbed his eyes "alright, now that I got that eventuated. I am so sorry, for, you know. Kidnapping you and immuring you here."

Danni cocked her head to the side "... immuring?"

Wes shrugged "it means to enclose or confine someone against their will, basically."

"ah, ok. Good to know"

Danny took a step closer, suppressing a wince as the humming from his core multiplied "just to have this clear, your... not going to call the GIW or my parents?" Before Wes could answer Danni chuckled and laughed loudly.

"Cuz, bro. Don't worry, he's not gonna sell you out. You should of seen the massive burn Wes left on them when you were nocked out cold! And he spent all of this time. like what, a month? Finding a way to confront you and 'save Fenton' just so you wouldn't get experimented on. Man, I was right! These past couple of weeks of messing with you guys was just, golden!"

Wes and Danny paused for a moment then slowly looked at Danni. Wes pressed his brows together "wait. hold on a second, you knew?!"

Danni him gave another one of her infamous impish grins "of course! We're related. Remember?"

With that Wes gave himself a hard face-plant "of course..."

Danny glared at her "hold on a second, you were helping him?!"

Danni shrugged "Yup, he would of figured it out on his own anyways. So, I figured that I might as well enjoy the ride."

Danny scowled and threw his hands up in the air in defeat. Wes stole a quick glance at Danny, this was a huge mistake. He should of just minded his own business... "look. I really sorry....  you miss a lot of classes because of ghost attacks. Right? I'll make it up to you by tutoring you! Go get you stuff, you missed a lot on Friday and we have a test on Monday... Know what? You can just barrow my books and some of my paper and take it home!"

Danni just looked back and forth in between Wes and Danny "ugh, this going to be boring and junk. I'm going. Oh, and Danny? Here is your phone back, by the way."

"... you took my phone?"

Danni shrugged "I needed to record something. See ya'!" and with that, she became intangible and flew out the door.

Danny then looked at Wes with a bewildered look on his face first, this guy kidnaps, him finds out he's half ghost. Then he apologizes for kidnapping him, and now he's going to tutor him the lessons that he missed. "your... not afraid of me? Or disgusted? You're... ok with this?! With me being some half-ghost freak?"

"No, I'm not afraid or disgusted. Why should I? It's not like I've never seen a ghost before. And its not like I've never seen a person before ether. You never killed someone before, or even seriously hurt someone. Not even all of those ghost that you fought. Now stop procrastinating, sit down and get a pencil." Wes said as he got a pull out chair from his closet and got his books from his backpack. And finished setting up the aria.

Danny, seeing nothing else to do. Sat down.
