Nice sentiment, but it doesn't work that way. I should know. I've tried to get rid of it before, and it only makes everything worse. Whether I can touch that part of myself or not, it doesn't change what I am. The only difference is that I can't protect myself like this. Much less anyone else.
[By this point Danny has completely dropped any pretense of ordinary and klutzy Danny Fenton. He was acting as Phantom, now.]
My parents... They're great, but they can't know. They've tried to dissect me. They've shot at me and tried to tear me apart molecule by molecule. Even if they didn't know it was me, years of therapy can't get you over something like that.
What makes you think I won't try the same thing? I am a scientist of considerable more skill than any human living past or present. I may be able to succeed where they failed.
[Gone is her kind nature, all that's left is the scientist. She's tired of 'beating around the bush.']
The way you talk means that whatever is being suppressed is making you feel unfinished. A sentiment I can sympathize with. However, whatever the power is has yet to be named. You dance around the bush Danny Fenton and I dislike being left in the dark.
It may provoke me to shed some light on the subject. My way. I don't care if it is for your protection or the protection of others. I have removed chips on a whim before simply to see what ones power will do to the city. However, I don't appreciate not being told what I am releasing.
Partial information was what got me killed in the first place.
Why do you think I put this off so long? But I'm willing to risk it if it means I can stop people from getting hurt on my watch.
[There is a small challenging note in his voice now. Oddly, the shift to the scientist has made him more comfortable with the entire situation. This was familiar.]
You want to know what I am? Fine. Two years ago I walked inside an experimental portal to another dimension. It turned on when I was inside.
[Washu dissects the information provided. Oh she knew that there was more to the story. What he had told her already gave her a few good hints. Regardless, more information was needed.]
You're parents were idiots to attempt something like that. They could have easily disrupted the balance of their reality and made it collapse around them, wiping out both dimensions.
If by 'halfa' you mean halfbreed then yes. Tenchi is part human and part Juraian royalty.
By the sounds of it, your parents lack even less common sense then normal no matter how flexible the other dimension is. Their home dimension would suffer.
How can I be sure these ghost powers of yours will not be used to destroy anyone or damage the city? Further more, how can I be sure they won't rebound and injure myself or anyone in the vicinity of the hospital.
I know that even when I'm not thinking straight all of my instincts say run away. And... I made a promise a long time ago that I would always use my powers to do the right thing.
What would you accept as proof? You could ask Don or Jazz. Don knows more about me than anyone else in Discedo. And Jazz knows everything that happened in my world.
I would hope that even if they rebounded they would only affect me. But... I had a plan for that. My Mom... she left behind some of her anti-ghost inventions. It would hurt, but I could seal myself in the thermos until it was over.

I didn't exactly walk back out alive.
Re: [Locked]
Date: 2010-08-11 11:08 pm (UTC)You died. Now what was the experiment exactly.
Re: [Locked]
Date: 2010-08-11 11:11 pm (UTC)As far as I know, it was supposed to drill a permanent hole into the dimension where ghosts live.

Then you are more like Tenchi than I thought.
Re: [Locked]
Date: 2010-08-11 11:25 pm (UTC)And... reality in the Ghost Zone tends to be pretty flexible.
....There's another halfa?

Date: 2010-08-11 11:33 pm (UTC)I'm not arguing. Their inventions always work, but they're not always particularly safe.

Re: [Locked]
Date: 2010-08-12 12:18 am (UTC)Then I will talk to Donatello and Jazz and I will want to see this 'anti-ghost' device before I make any decisions.
