Chapter Text
Three years it has been, three years Amity Park had been left unprotected. Three years since Daniel James Fenton died. Everyone believed it to be the result of a ghost attack. The boy's parents whose profession was to hunt and experiment on ghosts, blamed the town's hero; Danny Phantom. At first no one believed them, how could a ghost who dedicated his afterlife to protecting Amity, just kill an innocence boy for no apparent reason, however when the ghost boy disappeared and pictures were released from an unknown source showing the white haired ghost attacking Danny Fenton, it changed their minds.
No one saved for a few knew that both Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom were the same.
One of these few was Vlad Masters, billionaire, mayor of Amity Park and half ghost. When the boy's body was discovered after a month of missing, he knew something was amiss. Though the body looked like that of his little badger's, something told him that it wasn't. He kept quite however, choosing to do his own investigation. Except every lead was a dead end, he questioned every ghost he knew personally, checked every government file he could get his hands on, but it was always the same result; nothing. He even went to Clockwork but the time ghost gave no information just an encrypted 'Everything is as it should be.'
He gave up eventually and instead dedicated his life to his study. That was why he was in the facility known as GiW, rumor had it that they had captured a scientific marvel that blew away all they're years of research,
He was currently talking to one of the lead scientist, a scrawny man perhaps mid forties with shaggy brown hair, glasses covered his dull hazel eyes. He hadn't stopped wriggling his hands since he had met with Vlad.
"Well … you see Mr. Masters the problem is … this research is for private personal only."
Vlad gave a tight lipped smile. "I understand the situation, but I must remind you that I am one if not the only main sponsor of this organization, and as a result I demand full access to anything that this facility has to offer." The billionaire had to restrain himself from shouting towards the end.
The shriveling scientist began to sweat under the intense glare of the billionaire. "I also understand but without the permission of my superior, I can no-"
"- Then bring me to your superior." The hybrids eyes flashed a dangerous red, thankfully the scientist didn't notice. Said scientist shifted his gaze to the white tiled floor.
"Ah … well you see he is currently busy right now…" Vlad was seriously considering overshadowing this pathetic scientist and throwing him repeatedly against the wall. He had been arguing with this blubbering buffoon the minute he stepped into the building. All he wanted was a few simple answers to a few simple questions. He was about to leave, when a door which he hadn't notice slide open revealing a man dressed in the usual GiW outfit, the hybrid instantly noticed a scar coming from the corner of his right eye and traveling down to his thin lips.
"Is there a problem here, Dr. Elric?" His voice was smooth and deep. He glanced to Vlad then back to the scientist.
"No sir … I … I was just kindly directing Mr. Masters out." The scientist now identified as Dr, Elric stuttered. He seemed more nervous around the newcomer then he was around Vlad.
"Mr. Masters you say?" Vlad looked from the scientist towards the man. He could sense something not right about him. "Let me introduce myself, I am Agent H, Superior Officer … It's a pleasure to meet you." Agent H took off his shades, letting Vlad see that the Agent was blind in his right eye.
"Like wise and please call me Vlad."
"Well Vlad is there a reason why you are here, if you don't mind me asking."
Vlad didn't like the smooth talking voice of this Guys in White agent; it almost made the billionaire sick to his stomach. Before he could answer, the once forgotten Dr. Elric spoke up.
"He wanted information on Project 416."
Agent H raised an eyebrow at the nervous scientist. "I see … and was there was a problem that you could not show him?"
"N… no sir … there was not."
"You are dismissed Dr. Elric."
"Yes sir" Dr. Elric gave a curt nod before scurrying down the white hall and out of sight. Agent H turned to face Vlad once more.
"Sorry about that, I'm sure your used to though Vladdie" Vlad was startled when the man clasped the hybrid on the shoulder as if they were old friends and not strangers who only met a mere few minutes ago.
"Shall we discus, Project 416?"
Vlad gave a nod. "We shall."
The hybrid never noticed the small specks of ecto and blood on the floor leading into the room.
