Vlad exited the limousine as he carried the timid teenager. The chilling atmosphere seemed to have a beneficial effect on the unconscious boy. Walking to the doors of his mansion was quite a favorable moment for the older half ghost. Picturing Danny as his perfect heir and Madeline as the other asset to finish his puzzle of a life. The blundering oaf out of the picture and the nettlesome girl gone from existence.
Although, looking at his preferable son Vlad realizes there is something unusual going on with him. Going to a room Vlad had planned out for Danny specifically he laid the said boy on the comforter. Even if Danny was always pale he was never this ashen.
He even seemed to have a bit trouble breathing and his eyes had rings of deep purple like he would get when he was ill.
Vlad decided to go fetch some ice for his little badger's fever. Entering the abnormally large kitchen he picked up an expensive green with gold trimmed cloth and filled it with the ice. Heading back to the room gave him some time to think. Sooner or later Danny's meddlesome friends and sister shall come and ruin everything. Of course, there is the idiotic named Fenton Boomerang that found the youngest Fenton here before. If only he could disable it somehow or maybe he can block Danny's ecto-signature.
With newly found confidence Vlad walked with perfect posture to the room he designed specifically with some space items.
Putting the plush washcloth under the boy's neck allowing his core to have an easier time cooling him off.
Having a profound knowledge of Half ghosts he still did not obtain the exact knowledge of ghost cores and especially not of ice ones. Of course, he could easily get the information but that would be cruel to dissect another ghost's core only to render it in pain and possibly to fade from the zone entirely. Having done all he can for now for the raven haired Vlad decided to leave him be. Daniel did not seem to be in immediate danger and nothing grave as he could tell. Rest and his powers are the best ally for the teen for now.
Heading to his secure lab enabling the secret passage to appear as it opened and closed once he entered.
Blocking an ecto-signature is by far no easy process, but he must work fast for the twits could have the boomerang at any moment. Instead of blocking the signature why couldn't he make a fake boomerang. Making the device will be much faster and efficient.
Getting some of the schematics for the tracking device was easy for he already took some of the blueprints from the Fenton's lab when the deafening oaf was pressing the portals button too distracted to realize anything, even if there was a huge ghost right beside him.
"Maddy my dear may you please bring up the Fenton Boomerang prints." The projection appeared and smiled with delight.
"Of course anything for you."
The red hologram of the boomerang showed in front of him as he laughed.
"This is easier than I thought." His grin widened with his keen eyes.
"Skulker I need you to distract those teenagers." Vlad said in a communication unit.
"What teens?" He rolled his eyes in annoyance.
" What other teenagers would there be! The ones who always interferes."
"The ghost boy's friends?"
"Yes, you idiot!" He snapped as his eyes narrowed.
"Fine." The conversation ended as Plasmius soon got to work.
"Maddy."
"Yes, dear?"
"How is the boy?"
"It seems his temperature is rising."
"By how much?" Vlad felt like he would dread the answer.
"It has reached 92 degrees fahrenheit, dear."
"Shit!" Vlad hardly cursed but now seemed like a wise time to do so.
Normally, Danny had a temperature of a cold 84 degrees Fahrenheit.
Vlad turned into his ghost half leaving his work well behind as he quickly turned invisible and retrieved an oversized ice blanket and rapidly went to the overheating boy.
Wrapping it around Danny as he looked worse than before. Most certainly not a normal illness if his core can function the temperature right. Now that Danny has had his powers for a while now normal human illnesses should not affect him so drastically that he won't wake up.
Decided to head back to his research after looking at the kid a last time.
Finishing the device took a half hour being it did not have to actually work just seem like it.
"Maddy, how is he now?" He called out echoing in the darkened laboratory.
"Temperature has declined by four degrees."
Sighing Vlad quickly powered up the portal and rushed through the zone as he reached the Fenton's portal. Lucky for him it was opened for some dumb reason. But, he took it as an opportunity as flew through.
Being invisible had many perks such as now when the blundering idiot did not see him. Jack seemed to be messing with some kind of device with a dumb smile plastered on his face.
"Jack! Stop messing with the Fenton Fader! We have to get to Danny's school!" Maddy yelled from upstairs. Jack seemed to groan with disappointment as his voice boomed back.
"Did Danny get detention again?"
"No, the school said Jazz was acting odd and was looking for Danny." Maddy said making an appearance in the doorway.
"Weren't they supposed to be in class?" Jack's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
Ugh, daft idiot was all Vlad could think.
"Danny never showed up to class and Jazz skipped class acting frantic."
"That must mean one thing! Jazz is a ghost and captured Danny!"
"Jack I-"
"I am coming Jazzerincess!" Was the last Vlad heard from him besides the loud footsteps as they both hurried off to Casper High.
"Uncultured dolt." Vlad muttered at as inspected the lab for the boomerang.
"There!" He exclaimed as he picked up the device and switched it out for the phony one.
"This is just too easy." He smirked as he went through the still opened portal
(I took more time on this chapter I hope you can tell.)
