TMDDF: Danny and Kara
Chapter 26: Afterwards
The Next Day
It was the day after the Fall Formal in Metropolis and Kara Kent was in a glorious mood.
Not only did she had a great time at the Fall Formal with her friends and her boyfriend but Danny and Sam had finally made up and he was finally happy again.
Sure, there was the issue involving Vlad Plasmius but Kara wasn't going to let that creep get away with his actions. Sooner or later, he'll slip and that's when she and Danny will get him...however, that's also part of the reason she is here.
She needed some guidance and there is only one person she can turn to for that...and she would have, if not for the fact that he was currently off world right now with the senior members of the Justice League on a mission and he ordered her to stay home to man the front.
"Is everything alright, Kara?..."Lois asked as she saw the look on her boyfriend's cousin's face.
"Huh? Oh, I'm fine Lois...I'm just thinking about Danny..."Kara lied and Lois raised a brow at that.
"Oh yeah, that new boyfriend of yours...Clark told me that he's quite special..."Lois said.
"Yeah, he is..."Kara said, meaning it.
"I'd like to meet him one of these days...maybe we can have a double date...me and Clark and you and this golden boy of yours..."Lois said and Kara giggled.
"We'll see..."Kara said, feeling a little bad for omitting her issue to her.
Lois knew about her family's secret, it was a few months ago when Clark finally revealed himself to her and their relationship finally became more serious. Even so, they haven't told her about Danny's powers yet since that has to come from him.
"I really hope Kal-El comes home soon..I really need to talk to him about that Vlad creep..." Kara thought as Lois began preparing them lunch.
Meanwhile
At Fenton Works
While Kara was doing her own thing, Danny had invited Sam over, telling Jazz and Tucker to meet up before she arrived.
Once they did, Danny let Sam in. Jazz and Tucker were told by Danny that Sam apologized for what she did and that he forgave her.
Now it was their turn.
"Guys...look...I know that Danny forgives me but I realize now that what I did didn't just hurt him, but our whole team and...I'm sorry...I never should have done what I did..."Sam apologized, being genuinely remorseful.
Both Tucker and Sam were silent, making Sam feel more than uncomfortable.
"Well... guys?" Danny asked.
After a few moments of silent, Tucker smiled.
"It's about time..."Tucker said, happy that both of his friends were doing good again.
Sam smiled, happy to see that Tucker was willing to forgive her.
Jazz, however, was silent. She was sending Sam a very unhappy look, one that the Goth actually felt rather uncomfortable with.
Jazz then gave her brother a look. Danny sent her a meaningful one and the red haired psychologist in training, sighed.
"Fine..."Jazz said in a reluctant tone, showing that she is still uneasy about this.
Sam said nothing, as she knew that right now, it is probably more than she deserves.
Danny, being oblivious to this tension, smiled and sighed in relief.
"I'm just happy that we are all friends again..."He said.
"I heard that..."Tucker yipped.
"Yeah..it feels good to be back on the team, and hopefully now it will be harder for ghosts to kidnap me anymore...'Sam said, recalling how Spectra had gotten her.
Danny cringed as he recalled how she ended up in Vlad's clutches and felt a pang of guilt.
"Uh, yeah... I think that was my fault..."Danny said, looking down.
"I was really upset at what you did and...well, I was the one who asked Jazz to collect all your ghost hunting gadgets and...I'm sorry..."Danny said and Sam just sighed.
"Well, in retrospect...I probably wouldn't have trusted me either if I was in your place..."Sam said, before looking sheepish.
"So.. can I have my stuff back?..." Sam asked
"You mean OUR stuff that we were letting you use..." Jazz pointed out, with a very agitated tone.
Sam flinched.
"Jazz..." Danny told her.
Jazz took a breath.
"Okay...I'll bring them over to your place later..."Jazz said.
Sam nodded, before turning to Danny.
"Thank you..." She said.
"No problem..." Danny said.
"I get the feeling Jazz herself is only saying she forgives me for you..." She said with a sad tone. Danny put a hand on her shoulder.
"Remember when Walker framed me and I still kept at it? A lot people see that I'm not a bad guy..." He said.
"She will come to forgive you... on her time. Just be patient..."He said to her.
Sam smiled.
Tucker, who wanted to undo the tension, suddenly spoke up in a more jovial tone.
"Anyway, since Team Phantom is back to four members...I say this calls for a celebration...you guys thinking what I am thinking?..."Tucker said with a sly look.
"Nasty Burger?..."Danny said and the tech geek nodded.
Sam smiled, feeling a great sense of relief. She was back on the team, her friends have forgiven her and things are back to normal.
However, she had noticed the look that Jazz was still sending her and the gothic girl then doubted how true the last one is.
Oh boy...
Later
After the Nasty Burger, Danny and the others had walked her back home and Sam's parents, who had been so desperate for their daughter to cheer up, were actually glad to see them for a change.
Now Sam was in her room with Jazz of all people, Danny had to step out to deal with the Box Ghost for the ten zillionth time and Tucker had received a call from Velma Dinkley, which he was more than a little eager to answer.
Sam was alone with Jazz, who had been the one who was handing her weapons back.
"Here they are, the spector deflector, Fenton Thermos...Fenton Phones...Wrist ray, blasters...that should be it..."Jazz said as she handed the last of Sam's weapons.
Sam smiled, happy to have the rest of her stuff back.
"Thanks Jazz...'Sam said in a grateful tone.
However, her smile dropped when the older girl had sent her a look. It's the same look she sent her back at Danny's, only more intense.
"Listen to me, Sam..." Jazz started.
"I'll forgive you for Danny's sake. But..." Her tone became much more threatening... "If you do anything like that again...if you hurt my little brother again or endanger him or Kara... it'll take more than Superman to keep me away from you..."Jazz said in a dark tone, showing that the goth girl was not off the hook yet.
Sam gulped. She's never seen Jazz this angry, or threatening. She did not like it.
"Jazz...I know that I hurt Danny and I regret it...I'm never going to do anything like that ever again..."Sam said, while the red head still looked unconvinced.
"Just watch your step..."Jazz said as she walked out, still distrusting.
Sam gulped, realizing that things aren't back to normal.
Not even close.
Soon Danny had appeared again.
"Where's Tucker?..."Danny asked, not seeing him around.
"Flirting with Velma, I assume..."Jazz said in a more pleasant tone towards her little brother.
"Heh...well, let's not disturb him...anyway, come on Jazz...remember that mom and dad are expecting us over for dinner..."Danny said.
Jazz nodded as she soon left with her little brother.
Sam walked them out, and Tucker too, who was still ga ga over Velma.
Once they were gone, Sam was pondering her situation. While she was still on thin ice with Jazz, Danny and Tucker forgave her and she was allowed back on their team.
It's a miracle!
"Sammy-kins?..." Pamela Manson questioned as she saw her daughter.
"Listen, we're having dinner in a half hour. I know you don't norm-"
"Okay..."Sam said suddenly, surprising her mother and even her father, who had walked by.
"Okay?..."Jeremy repeated, wanting to be sure that was what he heard.
"Yeah... okay..."Sam repeated, while her parents still looked surprised.
"But... you haven't had dinner with us unless we forced you to for years..." Her mother pointed out.
Sam nodded, remembering a certain something Kara told her about.
"Let's just say I'm learning to be a little more grateful..." Sam said, before turning to her folks.
"But here is a reminder, I am a vegetarian, so no meat...'Sam said in her usual way.
Her parents, once they snapped out of her shock, had smiled and nodded.
"Of course, dear...I'll have Cook whip up something vegetarian for you right away..."Pamela said, actually looking excited about this whole thing.
Despite it being against gothic norm, Sam cracked a smile a bit.
She might not have Danny's love and she may never have it, but she has his forgiveness and his friendship again, as well as Tuckers and, even if she didn't always take the time to notice it, she has two parents who are still here with her and who love her, even if they may never agree on some things.
She still has some tension with Jazz but Sam knew that Danny is right and she just had to be patient and work for the older girl's trust again.
All in all, Sam was just grateful for what she did have and what she still has...
Later
With Danny
The ghostly boy was out flying all over the town, trying to make sure things were okay.
He was thankful that for once, other than Klemper and the Box Ghost making nuisances of themselves (AGAIN), it was a very uneventful evening.
"Hey there, Handsome, fly here often?..."A flirtatious voice got his attention.
He turned around and smiled when he saw that it was Supergirl.
"Hey, beautiful..." Danny said to as he floated towards her.
She smiled at him and the two shared a brief kiss.
"So, everything back to normal?.."Kara asked and Danny nodded.
"Looks like it..." Danny said.
"Sam is back on Team Phantom. You can tell Superman he doesn't have to keep an eye on her..."He chuckled.
"Actually... that's not up to me..." She responded, to Danny's surprise.
"Let's just say others know who I am... including Batman..."She said.
Danny looked a bit surprised, realizing what she's implying.
"Are you saying-"
"Batman is a bit paranoid... so he's pretty much spying on Sam on social media just to make sure she doesn't open her mouth..."Kara explained.
Danny was a wee bit freaked out by that, to say the least.
"Well..." Danny made a fake cough to lighten the mood. "That's something I'm not sure I should tell her that...'He said.
"Batman is a good guy but he is someone that not even my cousin wants on his bad side..."Kara said.
"I still find it hard to believe that someone with his record is actually human...are you sure he isn't some vampire, mutant or alien?..."Danny asked and Kara shook her head.
"No, me and my cousin have checked and he is 100% human..just a cranky one..."Kara said with a chuckle.
There was a few moments of silent as Kara then looked down, still feeling troubled.
Danny noticed.
"What's wrong?..."He asked the girl of steel, who just sighed.
"Danny...it's just...I am happy that your friendship with Sam has been restored but we still have a big issue to face here...Vlad knows who I am..."Kara said and Danny sighed.
"And we know who he is.." Danny pointed out.
"Kara, I know that you are worried but I know Vlad and I know that he knows that if he says anything about you, he's throwing away his own identity..."Danny said seriously.
"I am still worried...I want to talk to my cousin about it but he is off world and won't be back for a while..."Kara said, revealing her worries.
"I promise that no matter what, I won't let that cheese-head get his hands on you again...'Danny said as he placed his hand on her shoulder.
"I trust you Danny but I can't stand this uncertainty...I have no way of knowing that's going to happen next..."Kara admitted.
She then felt Danny's hand in hers and he smiled at her.
"Whatever happens, we'll face it together... and sooner or later, Vlad will go down, I promise..."Danny said in an encouraging way.
Despite her doubts, Kara smiled at that.
"Thanks, Danny..."Kara said, knowing that no matter what happens, at least he will be there by her side.
The two super teens shared another kiss, before Danny said this.
"So, Miss Supergirl...I have about another half hour of patrolling to do, care to join me?...'Danny asked in a suave way.
Kara smiled in amusement.
"Sure...I'd like that..."Kara said.
The two super teens then flew together, patrolling together. Neither knew what the future has in store for them now but at the very least, they knew that when the time comes, they would face it together.
