It was a surprisingly quiet day in Amity Park. The sky was blue, the sun was shining, kids were walking home from school, and not a ghost was in sight. However just outside Amity Park, a black and white blur passed by the Amity Park welcome sign. Close behind the blur was a black van with white G.I.W. letters on the side. Out of the windows, green rays where shooting at and occasionally hitting the blur.
*Linebreak*
Across town, Danny Fenton was walking with his two best friends, Samantha Mason and Tucker Foley, from school, when a blue wisp came out of his mouth. Danny hid in an alleyway and two blue rings formed and traveled along his body. When they stopped Danny had been transformed into Danny Phantom the resident ghost protector of Amity Park. Danny started to leave, but was stopped by Sam.
"Do you need me?"
Sam, after Undergrowth had been left with powers, and she had taken on the role of Samantha Phantom, Danny Phantom's mate.
Danny shook his head, "Honestly it just feels like a ghost child, I'm just going to catch them and send them right on to their parents."
Danny took off needing to get to the child before any ghost hunters did.
When Danny arrived to where the child was, he found Dani, cornered by the Guys in White. They advanced towards her as she whimpered in pain from the wounds she had already sustained. Danny mentally spoke to Sam
Sam get here now, it's Dani.
Sam cursed in her head and aloud. Sam and Danny both thought of themselves as Dani's parents and during one of her visits they had talked about it. They had agreed she could continue her travels so long as she visited.
Once she had come to visit before they created a scheduled time and had become unstable when one of the Fenton's new rays had hit and injured her. That time Sam had lent her some ectoplasm and she'd kept to the scheduled timeline afterwards. This was not a scheduled visit.
Sam went underground using her plants to travel faster. Danny got closer to the guys in white and soon he could hear what they were saying. "Surrender ectoplasm scum."
Danny clenched his fists to stop himself from doing something impulsive.
Danny watched Dani attempt to move away from the rapidly advancing agents.
She said, "You don't want to hurt me, if you do then my mom and dad will beat you up."
The GIW agents laughed, "Ghost don't have parents."
Danny sensing Sam was close enough flew down to where the GIW had cornered Dani.
"That," Danny said, "Is a lie."
They both turned to shoot at him, only to find themselves being wrapped up in vines.
The agents struggled against the vines and Sam rose behind them, gathering Dani in her arms.
"Don't bother my vines are strong enough to hold a ghost," Sam said in response to their struggle.
The ghost hunters scowled at Sam.
Danny lifted them up and, making sure everyone who had been watching could hear, stated, "This is my mate and the ghost you were attacking is my child, and I am very protective of her."
"If we find out that you or anyone else are attempting to hurt her we will hunt you down and become the villains you've always wanted us to be," Sam said, finishing his thought.
Danny dropped the agents and walked around them to Dani and Sam.
Giving into his ghost instincts he learned his forehead against Dani's, then did the same with Sam. Humans had lost it, but as a ghost, it was still a sign of affection you'd give to family or your lover. Sam gathered Dani in her arms and called on her plants to transport her again. Danny watched the plant go into the ground, then floated up. Before leaving he crafted an ice dagger with ectoplasm inside of it.
Giving it to a bystander, Danny said, "Cut them free with this then bury it. I'll know if you don't."
Then he turned and flew after his mate and child. Not once turning around to look at the humans who had been left in shock. Danny flew to Sam's home where he knew she would've taken Dani and sure enough he found them there. What he didn't expect to see was Valerie floating in the room in her suit. Danny phased in and transformed back.
"Valerie? What are you doing here?"
Valerie nodded to the bed where Jasmine and Sam where standing over Dani, checking her heath.
"I was with Jasmine when Dani's signature pinged off my ghost detector, Jazz said it wasn't a scheduled visit so I was going to help her."
"But her signature pinged again at Sam's house with Sam's signature so I just carried Jazz here."
Valerie was bisexual, and her and Jazz had started dating a while ago. When they had been dating for three months, Jasmine had asked Danny for permission to tell Valerie. Unknown to any of them Valerie had been considering quitting hunting for quite a while. She didn't carry her suit everywhere anymore, rarely ever fought Danny, and she now had someone she loved and wasn't willing to just let go. Valerie was tired of her secret and just wanted to love Jasmine.
On their four month anniversary, Jazz had gathered the courage to tell Valerie. Valerie had taken the news hard and ended up having a hard time forgiving herself for what she'd done to Danny. Danny had personally given her permission to continue her ghost hunting, but only after he told her the truth about ghost. She didn't start back immediately, but she did eventually start helping Danny.
Valerie and Jazz had been going strong since, and a few months ago had found their missing piece. Danny floated down to his little girl. Turning to Sam, he asked her to look for his ecto-signature in the ground. Then he kneeled next to Dani.
Dani turned her head to him, "Thank you for coming for me daddy."
Danny chuckled, "I'm your father, baby girl, protecting you is what me and your mommy do."
Sam handed Danny his dagger and kneeled next to him, "Dani we don't think this setup is working anymore."
Jazz stood, pulling Valerie out behind her. This was a conversation for them.
Dani looked confused, "What do you mean mommy."
Sam sighed, "I want you to stay Dani, I can't handle worrying where you are or if you're safe everyday."
Danny continue for Sam, "I'm eighteen Dani, when Sam turned eighteen we were going to ask you to stop traveling and live with us in the ghost zone. Now that you're here though we want you to stay."
Dani looked ready to cry, "You want me to stay?"
Sam smiled, "I don't know why we wouldn't"
Dani smiled, rose from bed and pulled them into a hug. They both took this as a yes and hugged her back.
When Dani let them go, Jazz walked back in the room, "The news," was all she had to say.
Danny picked up Dani and grabbed Sam's hand and they preceded to phase to the living room where Jazz and Valerie where watching the news.
Jazz turned it up when they entered. On the screen was a picture of Danny resting his forehead against Dani's. Sam standing beside him looking happy. One of both their hands rested on one of Dani's shoulders each, protectively.
"Today in Amity Park, we learned that the ghost boy, has a child. Early in the year we learned of his mate, Samantha Phantom and while it was implied they had been together for a long time, we never suspected the possibility of a child."
Danny growled as the picture of the family came up again, it was an intimate moments and he didn't like everyone seeing it. Sam rested a hand on his chest calming him.
"Now we take you to our on site reporter for an eye witness account."
The scene changed again and they were at Dani's attack site.
A reporter came on, "Here is a student at Casper High who bystanders witness speak with Phantom."
Standing beside him was Lester another outsider of Caster High.
Lester said, "He seemed really mad and distracted, he gave me a dagger, made out of ice with a light glowing in it, to cut the agents free with. He told me to bury it, said he'd know if I didn't, so I did."
The original reporter came back on, "This ghost child has raised questions. The scientific minds of the world are once again baffled. This epidemic has left even ghost experts scratching their heads. Some are ready to accept it and others are denying it, but they all want to know,"
"If this is possible, what else have they gotten wrong about ghost."
Jazz turned the tv off and Danny sighed, he would have to do something about their questions.
Sam said, "It's time."
Danny nodded in agreement while Dani, Jazz, and Valerie shared confused looks.
