SchuylerDawn & Gaga overSessy, thanks for adding this story to your alerts. :)
The world around them was just like Dan's had been with the air cars and the fancy homes. The only real big differences to his time was that there was no dome structure protecting the town and Fenton Works wasn't turned over to Valerie and her father. Walking out of the shadows where the portal had dropped them.
"It looks like my time," the older halfa remarked with a slight turn of his head toward Danny. "Though, there are more humans around in this time." He turned to Neo, the other halfa looking rather happy to be home. He wondered at that, but then when he looked to the skies it seemed as if he were almost nervous.
"It's the exact opposite," the other male warned just seconds before a rather familiar looking blond male appeared before them, his blue eyes narrowing suspiciously at the group. "Hi Mr. Baxter." The blond didn't even give him a second glance as he glared at Danny behind him before turning his gaze to Dan before settling on Sam.
"You look like Fenton and Manson," he stated before returning his gaze to Dan. "But you, you look like Fenton..." Sam walked over to him, her own amethyst eyes narrowed.
"And you look like white trash," she growled. "Buzz off!" At first it looked like Dash wouldn't go and then he moved, his blue eyes watching them even as he continued on. She turned to Neo, questions in her amethyst eyes.
"He doesn't like halfas or ghosts. One of many that would rather we die out..." he faded off, but all of them got what he wasn't saying. He thought that Dash had something to do with the death of Danny and his wife, someone they still hadn't figured out. Could she be Valerie? Sam had already thrown that one out the window since the light skinned female had proclaimed that she didn't like ghosts, no matter how much Dani felt otherwise. Taking a step out she looked around, Fenton Works to their left. She figured the best place to start was there, where Danny and his spouse stayed with their children.
"Are you sure you're ready for that?" Dan inquired. The Goth looked at him in surprise. The older version of Danny had never been warm to her knowledge and yet he seemed to know her thoughts. Before she could respond Neo told her that they couldn't go there, not yet.
"Then where should we go?" Danny questioned. Neo turned away from Fenton Works toward the part of the city that looked high maintenance and all of them got the gist of it.
They walked down the street, for the most part steering clear of anyone who might know them or want to talk as Dash had. Sam looked at Dan, her mind going over the fact that the male beside her wasn't like he had been that time. The time that he tried to take them out, well, the multiple times he had. She should fear him and yet even after he had tried to kill them all she still found that he wasn't that scary. She had had time to analyse him, as Jazz had. The pair of females, though not friends had confided to each other about the older halfa and his past.
Both had concluded that with how he had been left alone, no family or friends, that the halfa had had little chance. Sadly, he had been overtaken by his bad choice, though it had been noble.
"What are you thinking about?" came a voice from her right. She looked to Danny, her mind drawing a blank on what to tell him. She was shocked that he was talking to her and what her mind had been on wasn't something she believed would make him very happy.
"Dan," she muttered, her eyes cutting to the male in question. "I was just wondering about how much he has changed." The halfa at her side glanced over at the male. He could tell that Dan had in fact changed, but he didn't think that he could trust him, but then again the halfa had also been the one to try and take Sam from Neo, another halfa. Neo was confusing to him. He seemed like the bad guy for what he had done to get the Goth and what he had done to Sam, but yet he had come for help. Who was he really? The fact that Neo and Dan were both part of Vlad in some way still made him nervous for Sam's sake. She had slept with Vlad in some sick way and yet Danny wasn't ready to let her go.
"Maybe he has, but he is still the enemy," was the now white haired male. "He tried to kill you and my family!" The Goth nodded, but then began to make her point about how the male had tried to protect her and seemed rather remorseful for what he had done. Before Danny could argue back with her about the merits of the former evil male and believing that he had changed after one day of hanging out with him Neo stopped, his head craning to look at the large home before them. At first glace you knew who had lived there, the green and gold colors an eyesore to most of the group.
"Vlad's?" Dan questioned with a rather annoyed look on his face. "Why are we here?" Neo turned to the group.
"Vlad is one of our suspects and even if it turns out that he didn't do it there is still a chance he might know who is." Danny looked skeptical, Dan a little unsure as well while Ember, Skulker, and Sam seemed ready to check this lead out. The group headed forward, the gate before them not an obstacle to the only human, Sam, as the group phased thru it."It might be a little hard to get him to talk, but with all of us together it might be a bit easier."

"I have no clue what you are talking about," Vlad growled in annoyance. "Why would I kill ghosts or even halfas?" He sat behind a large desk, his blue eyes giving the group a once over as he leaned back. "That would mean that I would have to be killed since everyone knows that I am a halfa." He then turned to Neo. "And as I have passed my genes on to your mother and you that would benefit me little." Sam nodded, as did the group. Neo had lead them to a dead end.
"I knew this was a waste of time," the halfa grumbled. "It would make no sense that a halfa would kill others, especially one that knew he would be sacrificed as well." He looked at Vlad in contempt. "This bastard would never willingly destroy himself or his work." Though the other male looked upset at Danny's words he nodded.
"While this halfa is the bane of my existence he is right. I would never do something that I couldn't escape from." He looked to Neo. "And the fact that my own blood would think that." The halfa in question narrowed his eyes. "Though I knew you hated me."
"I more than hate you," he spat. "I despise you!" He looked to Sam. "He did try to kill Danny as well as Jack several times, even after he was revealed to be the hated ghost, Plasmius." The Goth nodded. She believed it as Vlad had an unhealthy obsession with Maddie, Danny's mother and Jack's wife. "He tried to take out a good portion of Amity several years ago, only planning to spare Maddie." The group looked at him in both shock and horror. Vlad only chuckled.
"This is true, but still I never achieved my goal." He looked rather serious now. "Your mother found out about my plan and laid me out pretty good." He smiled now, the gesture one of sadness. It seemed that Maddie had gotten through to him and although it made him sad he seemed to have come to terms with it. "Now, there is one other person that I am sure you are looking at," he stated, his face returning to that normal arrogant look he had. "The one that once worked for me, Valerie."
"We were looking into her, but she was married to Danny," the Goth stated, her tone almost hateful, but once Vlad smirked she knew that there was something that Neo had neglected to mention, her amethyst eyes locking onto his own orbs.
"Ah, so he has neglected to tell you who the brat married." He paused. "Wise move since it would cause more problems at this point than help." Now he turned to Danny. "Valerie would make a good villain for this, but she has been out of Amity for several years. Couldn't deal with having someone she looked up to and loved the very thing she hated." He looked thoughtful. "Last I heard she was living across the world with a very wealthy man."
"Then who does that leave us with?" Ember questioned.
"It doesn't leave us with anyone," Dan stated. "Those were your two suspects," he continued turning to Neo. The man in question shook his head. "You have more?" Nodding Neo turned to Vlad.
"Yes, I do have one more, but he hasn't been found yet." By the way he said it the group had a feeling they weren't going to like the nomination. "He used to be a great person, though there were times we all questioned his loyalty...when he got Danny in more trouble than he helped with." He looked regretful and the trio before him knew, though the two ghosts didn't, who he was about to put out there.
