Phantom was pulled from his thoughts when he heard Aqualad speak. He told them that he and Robin would get close to the warehouse to see where the guards were and if there were any security systems. If there were then Robin would hack into the systems and tell everyone that they could move in.

Once they did they'd take out anyone that were guarding the warehouse and the weapons. They'd figure out who had set up the weapons exchange and hopefully capture them. Aqualad then turned to Megan, "Set up a link."

Phantom wasn't sure what he meant by that and after a moment they all looked at him. "What?" He was already done with all of the staring, he had one fuck to give and it was currently gone.

Megan seemed confused, "Aren't you part of the mind link?"

"I'm going to go ahead and say no since I have no fucking clue what you're talking about."

The teens looked at each other and Kid Flash spoke, "Megan can set up a telepathic link so we don't have to use our coms to talk. I don't know why it didn't work you you though, that's really weird."

"Not really, ghosts minds are a bit different from a living person's."

Megan looked straight at him, "You also have a lot of strong mental barriers."

Phantom hummed, "I'm not surprised." After Control Freak tried to control him and the GIW tried to break him he wasn't surprised that those were there. He didn't want anyone getting inside his head so he didn't have any intention of taking his mental barriers down.

Aqualad gave Phantom a questioning look, "How will we communicate with you if you can't use the mind link?"

Phantom shrugged, "That is a question I don't have the answer to."

After a minute or two of thought Aqualad shook his head, "We'll have to worry about it after the mission." They all nodded, aside from Phantom, and the halfa as well as Robin got ready to drop down from the ship. Robin used a line to slowly drop from the ship and Phantom waited until he was sure that Robin had reached the ground safely before he jumped down.

Everyone was surprised and Robin felt his heart stop but as Phantom dropped down his eyes widened. He knew it was corny but he looked like an angel dropping down from the sky, it was beautiful. Phantom silently landed on the ground without a scratch on him and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The only one that didn't was Robin since the sixteen year old was staring at Phantom in wonder. He had to shake his head so he could focus on the mission, he couldn't get distracted. The two got closer to the warehouse and Robin started checking for any security systems.

Robin looked at Phantom who was still a distance away from him which wasn't surprising. Now that he knew why Phantom had been staying away from them he tried to respect his personal bubble as much as possible. Phantom seemed to be scanning everything with a calculating look, he was pretty focused.

Robin continued looking for any security systems and only found some sensors surrounding the warehouse. He shut them off with ease and used the mind link to talk to the team, 'Systems are down.' Phantom was looking for anyone that was patrolling the grounds of the warehouse, he didn't want them to be spotted.

When he saw Robin hack into something he figured that he had hacked into their security systems. Once Robin gave him a thumbs up Phantom nodded and they waited for the rest of the team. They got there within minutes and Aqualad looked at the two, "Have either of you seen anyone.

Phantom looked at him, "I've seen three different people so far but I'm sure that there are more."

Aqualad nodded, "Alright, we'll take down the people outside and sneak into the warehouse. We'll figure out who's involved and stop them, Phantom can you mask your glow?"
