If anyone should happen to head off to explore the castle today they might encounter a glowing teenage boy floating several feet above the ground and pushing a hand against a wall with a puzzled look to his face.

"Still solid?  Why?  I should be able to go right through this."

"That's a simple truth, not a secret." Duo points out and walks along a stretch of stone slab to see if he can climb down anywhere. He was still limping a bit from the last time he was out here, but it was healing up pretty good.

"I had a secret identity once. Had to come up with a fake name for myself and everything." It was actually kind of fun.

[schrodingersghost]

"What was it?"

[stillshinigami]

"Maxwell Edison."

[schrodingersghost]

He snickers. "That's awesome."

[stillshinigami]

"I thought so." He laughed a bit and shrugged.

"Just seemed like going to school was easier than sitting around and doing nothing."

[schrodingersghost]

"That depends on the school. Most days I'd rather be fighting ghosts than dealing with all that stuff."

[stillshinigami]

"It was just an inner city school. Regular kids." He snorted out his nose. "You got a better gig than me. I wouldn't have minded getting stuck with some super power and have to deal with little city troubles and big badguys but..."

Eh. "It's just a little more complicated."

That and it was just not something he wanted to talk about. Would Danny even get it? He's like right out of a comic book!

[schrodingersghost]

Danny stills and says nothing for a long moment. "It isn't as fun as it sounds."

[stillshinigami]

"Hm. But it's fun sometimes, right? Get past the dramatics? You can fly, go invisible." He started sniggering under his breath.

"Man, I wouldn't mind having that power for a day." Ladies locker rooms beware!

[schrodingersghost]

"Flying is nice. But it isn't a game."

[stillshinigami]

"But does it always have to be serious?" He smiled at Danny.

"The one thing you don't wanna do, is grow up and look back on your life and wonder why you never had more fun. Why you never got to act like a kid." Aaand that's a little bit of his life right there. He's not gonna act like he's sad about it. But it was good advice.

"My sister would say I'm not mature enough." He snorts. "I do okay. You know, watching movies and stuff in between ghost invasions. But what I do is important. I've already learned that lesson."

[stillshinigami]

"Sounds like a good life to me. Not everybody gets a calling." He shrugs a little bit and spots a ladder down to the trolly area.

"Metaphorically." He corrected, heading over and climbing down.
