When the movie was about halfway you noticed something odd. Scrap that, straight out strange. The remote was flying in the air and had a green glow, but as soon as a cold breath escaped your lips you knew what it was. "Eh, Sam? Is your remote supposed to do that?" Tucker said as they both rose. "No, definitely not" Sam answered and yelped as she jumped aside for the flying remote that charged over her head, to the outside. You frowned confused. It was a ghost, you knew that much, but how come they weren't completely freaking out? "(y/n), I think we should go home and check if our parents are okay!" Tucker proposed in a panicked manner.

It was obvious they were hiding something, but as the good actress you were you looked just as panicked. "Thanks for the night Sam!" you yelled over your shoulder as you dashed up the stairs, through the door and ran over the street. When you deemed yourself far enough you slowed down into a step and hid in an alleyway. After a quick scan against prying eyes you changed into your ghost self and dashed off into the air, following the stream of flying appliances and electronics. Blue flaming hair swayed in the wind as your speed increased.

When you arrived at the source you halted and turned invisible. The ghost boy, Danny, was here and was recklessly firing at the ghost that was building up his armour. Another cold breath escaped your lips and when your eyes scanned the surroundings you found your brother also hidden and observing the matter. A smile tugged at your lips, knowing your brother was close gave a feeling of security. You looked over the situation once again and found Sam and Tucker on the ground, not that far off with their backs turned towards Danny. They didn't look like they were oblivious to the situation, it looked as if they did it on purpose. Bringing your hands up to your ears and closing your eyes you could vaguely hear them.

"Guys! Help!" Danny yelled before he got smashed once again. "Come on guys!" his plead was followed by other sounds indicating that his butt was being severally kicked. "Guys come on. Seriously?!" there was a short silence, "I'm sorry I chose hanging with the popular kids over you guys it was stupid and shallow and I'll never do it again!" he said in one breath while the sounds of the attacks kept on coming. You heard a loud clunk, probably of Danny falling into the concrete. "How can we be of assistance?" Sam asked, you could already picture the smug smile on her face making you chuckle. You opened your eyes and frowned. "Why are they so close with Danny Phantom? I feel like I say Fenton while I say Phantom. God their names are just as confusing as their looks" you grumbled to yourself.

Your thoughts were disturbed as the computer ghost screamed, "Hello. I AM TECHNUS, MANIPULATER OF MACHINES, LORD OF ALL GADGETRY, WIZARD OF INTEGRATED SHAKENTRY. OH YES, I AM ALSO MASTER O-" he was interrupted by a sound of static and it looked like his whole body got a short circuit.

A laugh escaped your lips as Danny screamed, "Process this!" and pulled wires out and put them elsewhere. "Wait that doesn't go there!" Technus screamed. 'Wrong hole' you thought snickering. Deeming the situation solved and harmless you left the aftermath to the others. Can't risk showing yourself when it isn't needed.

The next day you received apologies from Danny about his behaviour. Not being difficult about it you accepted them and patted his back. "It's fine, don't worry about it. We all make mistakes" you smiled making the others smile as well.

Somehow weeks passed quite easily and as time passed you noticed that every time there was a ghost, Danny Phantom would solve it. A lot of times Sam and Tucker were also present, but Danny Fenton was not. Your suspicion grew but didn't dare question them. Right now it was peaceful, no drama, no problems, just friends having fun. But the feeling of something being hidden from you was strong and was slowly eating at you.

One Friday morning you came downstairs and found your brother sitting at the table with a cup of coffee. It was an odd sight since Luciel was often gone or just standing, you barely saw him actually sit and take his time to relax. A smile tugged at your lips as you said a good morning and prepared breakfast. You made two plates of pancakes and put one in front of your brother and sat opposite of him and began eating. Luciel gave a gentle smile and put his coffee down. "Thank you" he said before he began eating. You glanced up at him. He looked a bit like Danny Phantom with his white hair and green eyes, but his face was older, he had a small black beard on his chin and his fangs were slightly more pointed. His face had a stronger jawline making him look more masculine. "You should stop staring, any other would find it odd" he stated without looking up from his food. You gulped and coughed out, half choking on a piece of pancake and then laughed at your own silliness. "Yeah I know, that's why I don't stare at others" you said continuing to eat. He looked up and chuckled. "Say (y/n), why don't you take a day off today? I'll take you through the ghost zone and introduce you to some contacts I've made" he said as he watched you. You looked up seeing his empty plate and smiled, knowing he had enjoyed it. "Yeah, that sounds like fun" you smiled, "but don't you think the weekend is more suitable?" you questioned curiously. This made him frown, "are you looking forward to going to school?" he questioned.

You kind of did. It was fun hanging out with Danny, Tucker and Sam. They were becoming really close even though both parties hid something from each other. You knew Luciel questioned about it since he knew exactly what was given at lessons in school and that it was already programmed in both your brains. "I quite like it cause my friends are really nice" you said looking down shyly. Luciel let out a pained sigh, "I'm sure you noticed, but they hide something from you" he stated and you nodded in response, "But I'm also hiding something from them" you stated. "That may be true, but your past makes it reasonable. I don't see why that ghost kid can't tell you he is just as much a halfa as we are" he grunted. You looked up wide eyed. It was like he put a small gear into your brain making the whole machine work. "That makes so much sense! And it's the black haired, blue eyed guy right?" you questioned just to be certain. Luciel nodded and looked confused as you squealed excited. "May I know why you are so happy?" he asked. You rolled your eyes, of course Luciel wouldn't understand, "that means that I can become closer one day! Since at least he will understand" you smiled finishing the last of the pancake. Luciel frowned and stood up making you flinch by the mere force of his presence. He walked around the table and stood next to you. "Will he? Really? Will he understand the distrust in humans? The hate towards hospitals and laboratories? Will he know the pain of a cold metal table and a knife tearing through your skin?" he said with a dark, stern voice. You bit on your lip. "of course he can't. Only you will..." you whispered looking down sadly. Every scar, every mark on your body burned by the mere memory of it all.

Luciel sighed and gently put his arms around you. "I'm sorry little fairy, I just don't want you to get your hopes up. Humans are cruel beings, halfa's are still partly human" he said gently, his presence lessening and feeling more like the comfortable brother you knew. Leaning into the touch and smelling his familiar scent filled you with a new found calm. "I know. I won't get my hopes up, but if I get hurt I always have you" you smiled and hugged your big brother back. "Naturally" he chuckled, "now how about we leave for a fun day in the ghost zone?" he smirked. You gave a happy nod and took Luciel's hand. He held yours tightly before his eyes turned from mere green irises to whole green eyes. And so, off you were, flying towards the closest natural portal and going to the ghost zone.

Luciel's powers worked the same as the map that was guarded by the yeti ghosts, at least he explained it that way. He was a living map, or rather a guide and could take you anywhere you wanted. He didn't have any elemental power like you, so you could figure that his offense was low. However, he was no weak guide, he was stronger in body and mind. He may not have energy beams or a forcefield but his body was like an impenetrable armour which he adjusted to every attack. He was not invincible, by a long shot not, but with his experience, skill, he became quite close.

The first stop was an island with a big skull on it. The nature was like that of a jungle. It was odd to see that the ghost zone differed yet was so much alike the earth. Luciel landed without a sound and you could already hear the screeching of a gun that was ready to fire. "Relax, it's me' Luciel stated. It was nice to see Luciel in another environment, each surroundings asked that he acted different accordingly. "Ghost map? My order wasn't in another week right?" a heavy voice sounded from the bewilderment. Your mouth fell open as a full armoured ghost stepped out, a gun on his back folding back into his suit. "Yes, however I wanted to introduce my sister who includes in our pact" Luciel explained calmly, not intimidated at all by the ghost who stood half a head taller than him. "Ah, your sister right?" he turned his attention to you and scanned you as if he tried to figure out if you were a threat or not. "You will give me updates from the human world, in return I won't hurt or bother you and your sister and may even help in cases of emergency" he recited from probably a drawn up blood bond. You looked up questioning at your brother, he looked down on you with a gentle smile. "To make life easier I've gained some partners. Ghosts aren't that bad if you aren't human" he chuckled.

"I'm (y/n)" you smiled up at the ghost. Since your brother was comfortable you felt like it as well. "Skulker, the best hunter of the whole ghost zone" the ghost smirked, "it's nearly a shame your brother made such a good offer, a half ghost kid is quite a prise". You tilted your head and gave an ominous smile, "luckily riiight" you purred with a menace that even made your brother shiver. Skulker looked disturbed by the change in personality even though he didn't show much of it. "If that's all, I got a prey to hunt" he smirked and flew off as soon as Luciel gave a nod. You looked up at your brother questioning. "Why would we need ghost allies? Are we not enough, just the two of us.. and maybe then Danny as well in the end" you gave smile thinking about the ghost kid who had the same kind of DNA as you. Luciel ruffled your hair, "it's better to be prepared. They aren't dead, so we need to stay strong" he spoke and you knew who he spoke off which opened a pit in your stomach. "Understood... who is next?" you asked changing the subject. He gave a smile, "let's go to Amber, then we lunch at the lunch lady and then the box ghost". These names all sounded familiar, together with Skulker. Those were the same names as the ghosts that went after Danny. It gave somewhat of a mixed feeling that they were your partners now, or rather, your brother's.

Your brother noticed your distress and put a hand on your head. "Don't worry about it so much, at least you are safe" he said. You gave a small nod and Luciel took your hand again to take off to the next.
