#the legends that would be told about him (some true some way overexaggerated) would keep them far away from the fenton portal

It would be interesting if Danny was just, blissfully unaware of how powerful he was and how he absolutely terrified most of the ghosts he interacted with. Danny’s looking at himself, a fairly young teenager and an even younger ghost whereas some of his enemies have been around for decades if not centuries. He gains his confidence, knows his rogues gallery, knows he can usually come out on top. But he’d always consider himself the underdog.
After awhile, new ghosts just stop coming through the portal to ravage Amity Park. “Hmm the whole ‘terror and pillage must be getting old by now,” Danny muses not realizing most of the more sane ghosts are staying the hell away from Phantom and his chosen haunt. 
Ghosts approach tentatively, reverently, seeking alliances and servitude because it’s much better to be on good terms with such a powerful figure. Danny just grins and welcomes his new spectral friends and completely misses their blatant relief at his generosity. 
His regular rogues, who have known for a while that Phantom is terrifyingly powerful but they also remember when he couldn’t shoot and ectoblast so the effect is lessened somewhat, as always coming up with new ways to mess with him. And Danny rises to every challenge and sends them packing, the ghosts bitterly fix themselves up lamenting on how such a little shrimp could hold so much power. Which of course scares the (un)living daylights out of other ghosts.
One ghost gets lost in Amity and is confronted by Danny and promptly just starts squeaking and crying out of abject fear. Danny has to spend 10 minutes shushing the poor ghost before showing them the way home. He shakes his head, the real world can be scary for ghosts but he just can’t understand what frightens them so.

SERIES MASTERLIST — next
Tumblr media
Students do double-takes on him all the time. It’s been his new normal ever since he started working for the university. His existence throws people off and he’s not surprised. He wouldn’t even dare to blame them for it either.
To say that Jung Jaehyun is the smartest alumni in his year would be an understatement. He picked up sports, volunteered at two different hospitals, topped all of his undergrad classes, worked with two professors, and even graduated Summa Cum Laude. His fellow peers weren’t surprised that he had already landed a job at the university as a lab professor even before graduation.
And so Jung Jaehyun finds himself back in university not as an undergrad but as a lab professor.
He decides to start his first day by stopping by the cafe to pick up his morning coffee on-the-go. There are students everywhere. They are scrambling to get to their 8 am lecture. Some are reuniting with their friends whom they haven’t seen for a whole summer.
And then there are students like you, who are taking their time, second by second, minute by minute. You glance at your wristwatch for the time. There’s about an hour and a half to spare before your first chemistry lab session of the semester. You’re not much of an early bird, but these days, you’ve been up before the sun. It may be because of the excitement you have pumping through your veins, reminding you that this is your last year of undergrad.
Your last year of undergrad, you smile. You promise to make it worth the while because this is an opportunity to change your life for the better.
“I’ll take a medium vanilla latte, please and thank you.”
You’re making your way towards the pick-up station. The cafe is extremely busy at this time with students coming in for their caffeine boost and running out to get to their lectures on time. But amidst the hustle and bustle of the cafe, there’s a man that catches your eye.
“Vanilla latte for Y/N?”
You tear your gaze from the man to take your drink and thank the lovely barista. Just as you’re turning around, you find the man already standing next to you. He’s waiting for his drink, you assume. He looks young and handsome. You could tell from his hair that’s dyed a blue black and his sense of style. He’s sporting a white, long-sleeved button up with the sleeves rolled up to show his forearms. He’s wearing a nice pair of black skinny jeans. Is he a graduate student? Is he doing a Masters degree? How come you’ve never seen him before?
You don’t ponder on it for long because when you turn around to leave, someone accidentally bumps into your back, causing you to fall forward. Your vanilla latte slips from your hands and you watch your drink spill all over the handsome man’s white button-up.
Shit.
A gasp is the first thing that leaves your lips.
“I’m so sorry!” You exclaim in complete shock and embarrassment. You wince when he groans and looks at you with annoyance.
“Couldn’t you have been a bit more careful?” The man grimaces as he looks down at his coffee-stained shirt.
Out of sheer panic, you’re grabbing some napkins and dabbing at the stain on his shirt. He thinks it’s a bit excessive and unnecessary. He sighs.
“Do you really think wiping it off with a napkin will work?” He asks and you look up at him. “Unbelievable.”
You retreat your hands away from him with a frown etched on your face. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. I’m just trying to help—”
“And it’s clearly not working.” He folds his arms.
“At least I’m making an effort to help, sir.” You argue back. “It was clearly an accident and I’ll do anything for this minor inconvenience.”
“Just forget it.” He mutters. “It’s not like you’re going to buy me a new shirt.”
You scoff. “Excuse me?”
He quirks an eyebrow. “I said, forget it.”
“Fine. Again, I’m sorry.” You apologize. “If that isn’t enough, then I apologize. That’s all I can do for you.”
And with a huff, you leave him standing there, completely astonished.

Jaehyun looks at his reflection in the mirror. The huge coffee stain bugs the shit out of him. Sure, it’s a minor inconvenience, but this is Jaehyun. Even the slightest inconveniences are enough to ruin his day. He grumbles a few curses under his breath before buttoning up his lab coat to cover the stain.
“We have a couple of minutes left before the doors open for the first class.”
“Is there anything I should know?” Jaehyun asks his fellow professor, Kim Doyoung.
Doyoung shakes his head. “It’s a pretty competitive group. But there’s this one undergrad that has been pretty consistent with her grades since freshman year.”
“I’m assuming she’ll want to pursue lab work after graduating.” He says.
“Like us?” Doyoung grins.
“Like us.” Jaehyun smiles.
“She’ll be in your group.” Doyoung adds. “Y/N is her name, I think.”
“I’ll keep an eye on her,” he reassures him.
Doyoung looks at the wall clock and clasps his hands together. The two of them put on their lab goggles before heading towards the doors to let the undergrads in. Just as they are about to open the doors, Doyoung glances at Jaehyun.
“It’s nice to have you back, Jaehyun.”
Jaehyun chuckles. “I never thought I’d be back.”
“As a lab professor?”
Jaehyun nods his head.
“As a lab professor.”

Chemistry has always been one of your biggest passions. Your father was a chemist and you took interest in it when your father brought you along to work to watch him do what he loves. It wasn’t much of a surprise to him when you told him that you were going to pursue chemistry in university. It was more so a feeling of pride because his passion had been passed down to you.
“I heard our lab professor is a newly-graduated student. Apparently he graduated two years ago but he was called back to be a lab professor.”
You quirk an eyebrow. “And where did you get that from, Wendy?”
She bites her lip. “You don’t remember Jung Jaehyun?”
“Who’s that?”
She gasps. “How do you not know Jung Jaehyun? He’s a living legend. He graduated from the Faculty of Chemistry and because he’s really smart, the Faculty hired him as a lab professor.”
“Impressive.” You purse your lips into a tight line. “So, from what you’ve heard, he’s going to be our lab professor?”
“Yeah,” she taps her foot nervously. “If it’s true, I think I might have a heart attack.”
“I think you’re overexaggerating—”
“I’m not! Imagine working at your station and having a handsome god watching you work.” She panics. “I’ll definitely screw up in front of him. I just know it.”
“Just do your best and everything will be fine—”
The doors to the lab open and Wendy lets out a yelp. She clings onto you and you laugh. Standing at the door is someone very familiar to you. It’s Kim Doyoung, a famous alumni who’s in his last year of his Masters. He’s been a lab professor for most of his Masters degree and he was your lab professor for the previous school year. You’re not surprised to see him again.
“Before you enter the lab, please place your things into the lockers on this side of the door. I’m sure you all brought your lab gear, so please put them on as well.”
You and Wendy share a look.
The small group enters the lab. It takes a bit of time to get to your lab stations. You make your way towards your lab station. It’s been a while since you’ve last worked at your station and knowing that this is the last time you’ll be working at it feels a bit bittersweet. Wendy arrives at her work station that’s right next to yours and turns on the light of the fume hood that you both share.
“Get settled because we’ll be starting in three minutes!” You hear Doyoung announce.
“Why is Doyoung standing over there?” Wendy whispers.
You turn around to see him standing in front of the other group on the other side of the lab room. “Oh yeah, you’re right.”
“He’s not going to teach us this semester?” She asks in a hushed tone. “Oh no, I don’t have a good feeling about this.”
You bite your lip nervously.
Three minutes pass as if it was one second and soon enough, your new lab professor stands at the front. Wendy covers her mouth to suppress a gasp. You raise an eyebrow, standing on your tiptoes to get a better look at your lab professor for the semester.
You feel your blood run cold and your face grow pale.
Your lab professor is sporting a long lab coat but it would be impossible for the familiar coffee-stain seen on his white button-up shirt to be left unnoticed.
“Welcome back. I hope you all had a great summer vacation. My name is Jung Jaehyun, and I’ll be your lab professor for the semester. I hope to make great memories with each one of you.”
You wish you could disappear into thin air.
