A/N: This was originally just going to be a one-shot, however, I got a lot of requests to continue so... here you go!


Quite frankly, he could not imagine anything more mortifying than calling your archenemy billionaire family 'friend' daddy, until it just so happened he did it in front of his own father. How do you come back from that? Fun fact: you don't. Even if his father was to ignore it, the fact remains that it happened, and God only knew his parents never just let anything go.

Danny had taken his time cleaning up the chemical spill in the lab. To his dismay, it appeared to contain no potentially lethal chemicals or properties. Well, so much for death saving him. He contemplated sneaking out and worrying about his father later, but something told him that would not bode well. What was he going to do? Tell him the truth? That it was sarcasm and they were joking? Except for the 'joking' came off more serious than intended because truth be told they hate each other? Sure, his father could be naïve, but something told him that he wasn't going to buy that.

Shortly after Danny had fled to the basement, he heard the front door open and close, indicating that Vlad had left. That bastard totally left him here to explain the situation by himself. Danny sighed and tossed the last rag in to the trash. Just when he was about to escape to his room via flying, he heard someone call his name.

"Danny, can you come here a moment?" His dad's voice called from upstairs.

Danny cursed under his breath. This was exactly what he didn't want. Resigning to the fact that there was no way to get around this, Danny slowly began to make his way back upstairs.

"Yeah?" Danny tried to ask casually, as if he didn't know what he was about to be confronted about.

"Can we talk a moment?" Jack asked uncomfortably. It was obvious he felt just as awkward about this as Danny.

Danny bit his lip. "I uh, I don't know if there's anything to really talk about?"

Jack hesitated a moment before shaking his head and gesturing Danny to the kitchen.

Danny sighed and walked over, pulled out a chair, and sat down. How was he going to explain this? "Look… Dad-"

Jack put his hand up to silence him as he sat down at the table across from him. "You don't need to explain yourself Danny, I just, wanted you to know that no matter what you'll always be my son. And I don't know how you found out, but I hope that this doesn't change how you view me." Jack said sadly.

Danny sat there very confused for a moment. What on earth was he talking about? "I'm confused wh-" That's when it dawned on him. Oh, oh no! He thinks it was literal! "Oh! Dad, no no." Danny began while waving his hands. "You got it wrong, that's not-"

"No." Jack said cutting him off. "You don't have to lie for your mother, Danny. I'm just sorry I found out the way I did. I mean I love Vlad and all, but… I love you more, y'know? And I just don't want him to take you away from us."

Danny was silent as a million thoughts started going through his head. Quite honestly, it hit him pretty deep to hear his father say that. Of course he would never leave him for Vlad, he made that very clear to Vlad himself. He's always loved his family unconditionally, but it wasn't often that they expressed it verbally like that. He always viewed Jazz as their dad's favorite and had always just accepted it. However, even with just those few words, it was a reminder of how much his father did love him.

"I mean, I want you to be happy too, so I guess if you would prefer Vlad I-" Jack continued, noting Danny's silence.

"Dad." Danny said calmly. "It's fine, I'm not going anywhere – not in a million years. You're my father, you always were, and always will be." He said with a smile.

Jack smiled lightly back. "How did you… find out?"

Danny shook his head. "Listen, about that, I didn't really find o-"

Danny was caught off by the sound of the front door opening. He frowned a bit. Vlad hadn't come back, had he?

Footsteps made their way over to the kitchen only to reveal… aw hell. His mother was home.

"Oh…" She breathed out, finding both Jack and Danny in the kitchen. "Hi. What's going on? Is everything alright?" She questioned, sensing the tension.

"Actually, not really." Jack said with a frown.

Oh, oh no! Danny began to panic. He opened his mouth to say something, to explain the situation, but he was unable to find the words he was looking for.

"Why didn't you tell me Danny was Vlad's son?" Jack questioned, wasting no time cutting to the chase.

And now it was too late.

Maddie's eyes went wide as her purse slid off her shoulder and on to the floor. She looked between Danny and her husband, horrified. "I don't understand…" She began.

Danny quickly stood up. "No, no there's a misunderstanding it was an accident!"

Maddie frowned. "Okay? But I don't understand how you found out…" She breathed out, her voice shaking a bit.

Danny froze. Wait, what did she just say!?

"I mean, I don't think… Vlad even knows." She said, while glancing sadly at Jack who was sporting a deep frown, before turning back to Danny.

No one had a chance to comment or ask a question as both Maddie and Jack were startled silent by his next action.

Danny screamed.
