A/N: Hello again! Yes, I'm posting 2 stories at the same time, don't worry, I'm not giving up on Healing, I just happened to have 2 stories already begun and this one has more chapters that are ready (so far, the 3 first chapters are written, others will follow). This will be a multi-chapter story and I'm not sure how many chapters there will be yet (maybe about 7 or 8).

BTW, I could only enter 4 characters, but don't worry, Tucker and Sam also play an important role in this story.

Enjoy the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom

Strange things often happen around Danny. Among these strange occurrences is the sudden malfunction of most Fenton inventions when he's nearby. This has always worried Maddie. One of these days, her baby boy is going to get hurt and it'll be entirely her fault! After thinking it through, Maddie and Jack finally figured out why Danny activates all their ecto-tracking devices. It's a wonder that it took them so long to discover the reason, but now they're ready to take action.

Coming home from school, Danny is more than ready to enjoy a slow, hopefully ghost free evening with his friends. Sam and Tucker aren't with him yet, they had stuff to do first, so it'll be a few hours 'till they come over. Then, it's movie night!

As soon as Danny closes the door behind him, his plans quickly change. He feels something damp cover his mouth and nose. He realizes that it's chloroform and immediately holds his breath and starts struggling.

"Ssshh it's alright Danny. Take a deep breath, it'll be over soon" Danny is surprised to hear his mother speak these words. No wonder he can't break free, his dad is the one holding him.

Danny panics as he realizes that the only reason his parents would knock him out is if they knew that he's Danny Phantom! He forgets about holding his breath and starts hyperventilating. His wide eyes shut as the drug takes its toll.

"Is this really necessary, Mads?"

"You know he'd run off as soon as we bring up the subject. He's always so distant when we mention ghosts. Besides, after everything our inventions did to him, he probably wouldn't trust us. But this time he needs to"

"Yeah you're right"

Danny's mind is foggy when he comes to. He hears his parents discussing while he tries to get his bearings. Danny notices that he's on a table and when he tries to move his arms, he realizes that he's strapped down. The halfa's eyes widen in panic as he remembers what happened. This is it! They know and now they're gonna dissect me molecule by molecule!

"W-what's going on!?" Danny asks, doing nothing to hide his fear. His parents turn to him, but they don't have their ghost hunting faces on. They seem concerned... Worried. Danny's relieved that they don't look mad or anything. Maybe his secret is safe after all, but this raises more questions.

"Good you're up. Sorry about all this sweetie, I know you must be very confused right now, but your father and I are just trying to help you" Maddie tells her son sweetly while running her hand through his hair to try and soothe him.

"What are you talking about? How are you trying to help me? And why am I strapped down?" Danny says, more calm now that he sees that his parents don't look like they're about to dissect him.

"Honey, we know why all our ghost inventions affect you" Danny's mom tells him, with a reassuring hand on his arm.

"Y-you do?"

"Sure! It's because you have ectoplasm in your system!" Jack bursts out.

Danny's recovering startled face from almost thinking his secret is revealed must pass as confusion, because his mom says "it's our fault really. We put you in an environment full of ectoplasm, we let you in the lab all the time without a hazmat suit and now the prolonged exposure to ectoplasm got you infected! I'm so sorry Danny"

Danny's relieved that they found an excuse for themselves. Now he only needs to convince them not to touch his ectoplasm. "It's okay mom, really. I don't feel sick or anything"

"Maybe you don't feel it, but all that ectoplasm can't be good for you. It's what dead things are made of!" She says with hatred "But don't worry sweetie, I'm gonna make it all better" Maddie says with determination as she holds up a glowing red syringe.

Danny's relief quickly turns to worry at the sight of the syringe that seems to have the word 'danger' writen all over it. He cautiously asks "uh... What is that?" As he tries to inch away from his mom.

His father answers "that's full of concentrated Blood Blossoms!" Danny's eyes widen in fear and in memory "it's been used to fight ghosts for centuries! And it makes a great snack too!"

"This is going to get rid of all the ectoplasm in you" his mother adds with a smile.

Danny starts shacking like a leaf. He remembers how much pain he was in when Vlad pushed him in a circle of those flowers. The pain didn't stop when he was pulled out of the circle, Tucker had to eat all of them! If that gets injected in him, then there won't be any flowers to be eaten to stop the pain! What would he do then!? The blood blossoms will attack all the ectoplasm in him! He won't be able to stop it! This will probably kill him! Danny shakes his head and says "No! N-nno! You can't give me that!"

"Oh don't worry Danny, you won't feel a thing, this is only used against ghosts! It'll make you all better" Maddie tries to reassure him.

"No! Let me GO!" Danny starts struggling against his restraints.

"Look, I know we screwed up a lot in the past, but we know what we're doing this time"

"You have to trust us son"

His parents' words have no effect as the halfa keeps struggling. "No, please! You can't! Don't give me that, the ectoplasm isn't hurting me or anything, I swear!" While Danny shouts, his mom applies some alcohol on his forearm.

"That's enough Danny. We're doing this for your own good, now stop moving" Danny doesn't stop moving at his mother's command though. He starts hyperventilating, his fear and hopelessness elevating. Maddie turns to her husband "hold his arm still" Jack obliges.

Danny's arm is immobilized and the needle is approaching his skin.

"Please mom! I'm begging you!"

The needle presses into his skin.

"You don't know what you're DOING!" Danny cries, tears appearing in his eyes.

Maddie shoots the 'medicine' in Danny's veins.

"STOP!"

It's too late.

At first, Danny's arm feels like it's on fire, but there's also a sharp pain that's similar to the shock from a powerful Specter deflector. Danny can't help the scream that escapes his lips, but it gets worse as his speeding heart pumps the concentrated blossoms through his entire body. Danny isn't aware of anything but the relentless pain. He doesn't notice his parents' panic nor does he know that his eyes turned green because his ghost half is under attack.

Danny struggles to get away from the pain that's inside him. He trashes and kicks out as he screams his throat raw and cries his eyes dry. Poor Danny can't do anything, but wait for it all to stop. Wait for his bitter end.

A/N: Is it wrong that in every one of my stories, someone is hurt and/or scared/depressed? I'm a happy person, I swear!
