The stillness of the derelict living room fractured as twin halos of viridian light spiraled closed around a figure, leaving behind the faint scent of ozone and the solid, sneaker-clad form of Danny Fenton. He drifted an inch above the dust-moted floorboards before his feet touched down with a soft thud. His once-white hair was now a messy, dark brown nest, and his eyes, back to their usual blue, scanned the shadow-draped corners. He clutched a comic book, its bright cover a stark contrast to the gloom. A lopsided, nervous smile touched his lips. 'Alright, ghost-buddy. I know you're here. The quiet's too perfect.' He held up the comic. 'Traded Tucker my last Nasty Burger coupon for this. You better appreciate it.' He waited, shoulders subtly tensed for the ambush he was certain was coming.
