Chapter Four: The Start Of Trust

The twins had already spent a few days at the Cave. They hardly came out of the room that the team had provided for them. The team hardly knew anything about them. Nightwing ran their DNA threw every system known to man, woman, and child. There was still nothing. Aqualad took a different approach and brought some magic books from Atlantis to the Cave. He did reading on what type of magical being would have their types of powers.

The only one that seemed to get the closest to the two unknown factors was Beast Boy. His innocence was just so obvious and contagious that they couldn't refuse him. But they did, at least, talk with Superboy and Aqualad, a little bit at least.

The two were deep in thought in their room, White had actually fell asleep. Something he soon regretted. They got lost in their memories.

*****

" What do you mean you didn't mean to?!"

"T-they ambushed us and we didn't have ti-" 

"Stop lying! J-Just go to your room!"

*****

Ice and frost were everywhere; crawling up the walls onto the ceiling in intricate patterns.

The carpeted floor was now blue, their beds had frosted over, and the window seals and the door had frozen over. The siren cowering in a gold force field, trying to ignore reality while the ghost boy was hugging his knees.

"Daniel Fenton, White Fenton! Open this door right now!" their mom yelled.

Danny just sat in the corner of his room, curled up into a ball, trying to block out all outside noise. White brought him into his bubble and they cried into each other's shoulders.

"Danny, White, listen to Maddie! You know you shouldn't have reacted in the way that you did, now unlock this door and apologize!"

Their mom had started scolding him for 'destroying the lab' and Danny and White had tried to explain it wasn't their fault, but she wouldn't listen, and they ended up yelling at her.

"It's not our fault... it's not our fault... it's not our f...fault..."

*****

"Sir! You must be mistaken, Danny and White wouldn't-"

"No, you are mistaken! Those boys are practically a CURSE to my class and I'm absolutely tired of ghost attacks in MY classroom. And magical creatures endangering MY students! Now you either give him a good talking to, or you transfer him to a different classroom! Even better, a different SCHOOL!"

*****

"Sam, listen!"

"Why should I?! So you can just run off and go behind my back again?! No! I'm sick of your excuses Danny!"

"It's not his fault. It's gotten even harder for us since..." "SHUT UP!"

"Hey, leave him alone!"

"UGH!"

Then the two stomped off.

*****

Danny didn't realize a tear ran down his cheek as he played with his ice powers, still deeply lost in his memories. White's memories got too much as he slept and the room started to shake. As such, Danny was not paying attention to anything around them... not even the bursting opening of their door.

*****

Superboy was just now on his way back from his 'daily reports' for Batman. Even though he
didn't even have anything to report besides Danny and White seeming to slowly become more comfortable around everyone else.
