TMDDF: Danny and Kara

Chapter 31: Plans and Plots Part 2

Previously

"You two need to focus!..." Sam bluntly replied.

"I'm trying to, but I am trying to figure out Vlad's endgame here. What does he get by gathering a bunch of schools of different places and bringing them together? I mean it''s not like he's going to harness the event for something.?...'Danny said.

"Who knows?..."Tucker said.

"Vlad does and whatever his reason is, we have to be ready for it..."Danny said.

Before his friends could say anything, Mr. Lancer spotted them and walked to them.

"You three, get back to your seats! The assembly isn't over..."The bald teacher ordered.

Danny and the others flinched, before nodding and walking back to their seats to hear more about the details of the upcoming event.

An event that is way more than it seems, Danny just knew it.


"Wait!..."Flower Princess11 said, before pulling out her phone and dialing a number.

After a few moments later, someone picked up.

"Hello?..."

"Hey, NeoMark? It's Flower Princess11. Question, is Deadpool going to interrupt any flashback scenes again?..."She asked.

"Oh, no… He promised to stop doing that again after I gave him a place where he can say all his favorite dirty words when he's not in use… He's going to be there for a while..."NeoMark explained over the phone.

"Okay, great... thanks!..."She said before hanging up.

She then turned to the readers and looked rather sheepishly.

"Okay, on with the story..."Flower Princess said with a sheepish smile.


Present Time

The rest of the school day had been tremendously slow for Danny and company but eventually, it was coming to an end. Danny and his friends were in their final period, with only a few minutes left before they could leave and go see Kara and her cousin to discuss their upcoming plan.

"Hey Fenton..."One classmate, a guy named Joey, the one who keeps a shrine of Paulina in his locker, poked him.

"What?..."Danny said, sounding annoyed to be disturbed.

"Is it true that one of those hotties you went with was some Beverly Hills chick?...'He asked.

"No comment..."Danny said, annoyed.

That's the umpteenth time that someone asked him about his dates and right now, he's getting annoyed.

Soon the bell rang and many students were beginning to leave.

"Remember students...you all have until Wednesday to sign up for the competition..."Mr. Lancer called but as always, his students ignored him.

All but three, mind you.

Danny turned to his friends and nodded.

"Come on, we don't have any time to waste..."He said to his friends.


A little later

Due to wanting to be safe, just in case Vlad had bugged any known area, he and Kara had decided to meet at some mid point between Amity Park and Metropolis, away from any unwanted eyes and ears.

They soon arrived to what looked to be a forest, and the only building seen around is an old observatory.

"You sure that this is the place?..."Jazz asked.

"Yeah, Kara says that she and her cousin often come here to have a moment to themselves?..."Danny said.

"Now to wait for them..."He said and that is when Jazz froze up.

"What? Superman is coming?..." Jazz asked.

"Uh... yeah. He said he'd help us..." Danny said.

"This is gonna be so cool..."Tucker said, still excited.

Sure, he is a Batman fanboy, but that didn't mean he didn't feel at least some admiration for the Big Boy In Blue.

"I thought it was just Kara but... Superman too?!..." Jazz asked as she and Tucker look starstruck.

Unknown to them, Sam didn't look starstruck, if anything, she almost looked...scared.

"Oh man..."Sam thought, nervous for some reason.

Danny didn't notice, he was too busy trying to calm down his starstruck sister.

"You all have to promise me..." Danny spoke. "Tell no one I said this... As far as you know, this is just a place in the woods, that's all..."He said.

Jazz and Tucker nodded while Sam still had her haunted expression.

Danny and his friends began to wait for his girlfriend and her cousin. Despite it all, Sam looked nervous to say the least.

"He's coming... is he still mad at me?..." She wondered, looking scared now.

After all, can you really blame her?

She hasn't forgotten that he's the cousin of the girl she stalked and tried to harass. She hasn't forgotten that she had spent weeks antagonizing the Man Of Steel's beloved cousin when she started dating her best friend/former crush and had tried to expose her to Danny. Sure, Kara has forgiven her but that doesn't mean EVERYONE has, with Jazz being the prime example.

She can only imagine what Superman might feel to be around her again and needless to say, she's more than a little uncomfortable to be around the overprotective Man of Steel.

Danny noticed her tense look.

"Sam, are you okay?..."Danny asked.

"Danny, is...is Superman...still mad at me?..."Sam whispered to him.

Danny realized what must be troubling her and he put a hand on her shoulder.

"Sam, you're going to be fine. Kara forgives you, remember. Besides, he's Superman. He's not going to ask questions first, than shoot,,," Danny assured

Sam nodded, feeling a little calmer now.

"Thanks, Danny..."The gothic girl said.

Just then, a familiar sonic boom streaked across the sky.

Danny grinned as he saw two figures shooting through the sky, before landing before them.

He smiled as he saw his Kryptonian girlfriend and her very famous cousin appeared to the scene.

Danny smile, hugging Kara before looking to the legend himself. One of the most famous superheroes on the planet.

Superman

"Thanks for coming..." Danny said, while Superman nodded.

"Thank you for keeping me in the loop...unlike some people I know..." Superman said, thinking about certain members of the league like Batman and Green Arrow, who will sometimes go off on their own and do things on their own.

And both would rather face danger by themselves than ask for help until it sunk in that they are facing something too big for either of them combined.

Superman stepped closer and saw Danny's friends and his sister. Jazz looked excited and Tucker was grinning. Sure, they had met him before, but that was under very excrusiating circumstances and they didn't have time to register how COOL this is.

"H-Hello...Superman...I'm Jasmine Fenton...I'm Danny's older sister..uh...we've met before...'Jazz said, trying hard not to squeal.

Sure, her dad and brother are the fanboys of the family and she usually tried to maintain an air of dignity and decorum but it's now registering to her that she is face to face with SUPERMAN!

Who wouldn't feel a little excited here?

"Me too...I'm Tucker...remember me?...'Tucker said, just as excited.

"Yes, I do...it's nice to see you both again..."Superman said in a polite way, before he saw the other female here.

"Miss Manson..." He said and Sam audibly gulped.

"Here goes everything..."She thought, before taking a deep breath and addressing the large, muscular superhero.

"Sir..."Sam said, feeling so small right now.

Superman eyed her critically and Sam felt even more nervous now. It didn't help that she is 5"4 and this guy is a staggering 6"2' and built like a barge.

"Miss Manson..."He said again, before continuing. "At the moment, your friend is trusting you and you haven't revealed my cousins or my identity..."He said and Sam nodded nervously.

"No, I haven't sir. Danny is my friend..." She said, while on the inside, she thought this "even if all that's we'll ever be..."

"And I regret what I did to Kara and I have learned my lesson. Honest.."Sam said.

Superman looked at her again in that critical way, before he nodded.

"Alright. For now, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. however don't expect other members of the league to be as trusting..." Superman said.

"I understand..."Sam said, nodding.

Superman turned back to Danny, a serious look on his face.

"Alright, so tell me about the situation..." Superman said.

Danny explained what they knew about Vlad's plan, how he suddenly went missing, on a "vacation " for a few days and now he returns today to announce some school sports competition that involves both of their school.

Once he was done, Superman scratched his chin, deep in thought.

"Well, I can't say I know what's going on but I think there's more to this athletic competition than meets the eye..." Superman said.

"Duh..."Kara said, being the only one who could get away with saying that to the Man of Steel.

"And you say you recognize the names of these schools..."He questioned Danny, who nodded.

"Yeah but I can't remember why..." Danny admitted.

he'd been thinking about throughout school but he couldn't remember why those names sounded familiar.

It was driving him crazy!

"Hmm...interesting. It's definitely worth looking into..."He said.

He'd ask Batman to figure out the connection for him. If anyone could find small, overlooked, microscopic clues that are normally overlooked but might be crucial in the long run, it's him.

"Anyway, if Vlad is as dangerous as you say, then there has to be a connection..." Superman said as he looked to Danny. "Most likely it'll have something to do with you, so be on your toes..."He advised.

Danny nodded, though he was partially geeking out from getting advice from the Man of Steel.

"Now, onto other matters..There is this competition at your school..."Superman said.

'I'm already going. Since I'm part of my school's journalism club, I can go there and pretend to be writing a story for my school newspaper as a cover..."Kara said.

"But Vlad already knows your secret...'Tucker pointed out.

"True, but at least no one at my school will question me if I have to go ask people from the other schools questions...'Kara quipped.

Superman heard this and smiled.

"She's coming along great..."He thought in pride.

"Well, Kara is all set but it's important that we all be at that event at the same time..."Superman said.

"How are you going to be there without Vlad seeing you?..."Jazz asked.

'Let's just say that I have some friends in the media who will be covering the event for the news. They'll let me know if something fishy happens..."Superman said.

"Friends?..."Sam asked.

"You mean like Jimmy Olson?..'Tucker said, since that guy is viewed as his "best friend".

"Classified until further notice..."Superman said.

"However, it would probably be best to make sure that EVERYONE here is there..."Superman said.

"Well, usually tech geeks like me don't go to events like that...unless it's to support a friend..."Tucker said as he sent a look to Sam.

Sam saw it and she then noticed that Danny was giving her the same look and she realized what they are implying.

"What? You gotta be kidding me! Me competing in the sports competition!? I've never played any sports before!..."She exclaimed.

"But you are pretty athletic, and if memory serves me, you got the best score at the Presidential fitness test..." Tucker pointed out.

His face was plastered with smugness. Evidently, Sam coached Tucker into passing the physical exam, something he remembered with bitterness. Especially since she goaded him into exerciser with some future tech that was Styrofoam.

"He's right Sam. Tetslaff should let you in and you can keep up posted if anything happens on the inside of the event...'Danny said.

"But...'Sam started.

"We need to cover all of the bases here.."Superman said and Sam couldn't believe that even he was agreeing to this sort of thing.

"But I saw the outfits... the girls at Casper will be wearing PINK!..." She complained.

"THAT'S somehow more important than this?..." Jazz questioned chillingly.

Sam was aware of her tone and immediately felt like shrinking.

"Come on, Sam?..." Danny asked.

"Isn't there another way?..." Sam tried to find a way out.

After all the change she had to deal with, participating in sports was something on the Do Not Do list. Participating in sports while wearing PINK is on her NEVER GONNA HAPPEN IN A MILLION YEARS list too.

Besides, the last time she'd participated in a event organized by an evil ghost , she got kidnapped and nearly married against her will to a narcissistic ghostly prince with the power to turn into a dragon and Danny nearly got barbecued.

"Why can't Jazz do it?..."Sam said and the red haired sent her a glare.

"One: because I never trained for most of these sports. Two: because as a Senior, it's too late for me to audition for these so soon. And three: because this is YOUR chance to prove to all of us we can trust you again..."Jazz said with edge in her tone.

Hearing that made Sam flinch.

"Please? Sam..." Kara said, in a begging tone.

Sam saw that all of their eyes were on her. Jazz was glaring at her, Danny and Tucker looked at her pleading, Superman looked stern and Kara...she looked like she just wanted some help here.

Sam sighed.

"Normally, I'd sooner knock myself out with a rock than wear pink. And I wouldn't dream of participating in any mainstream athletic drivel that does nothing but squander school funds from other parts of what is supposed to be an educational system and just encourage Neanderthal adolescents into thinking they can make a career out of hitting stuff and running which more than enough people do...but...if it's to stop Vlad...I'll do it, but I won't like it..."Sam grumbled and Danny smiled.

"Thanks Sam..."Danny said.

"Good, with you as one of the contestants, me doing a report and Kal-El's connections and Danny and Tucker waiting by the sidelines for anything, we should have it all covered..."Kara said happily.

"That's good...any other questions?..."Superman asked.

Tucker raised his hand.

"I got one..."Tucker said, being bold since at least he's wasn't in the dog house with some of earths mightiest heroes.

Wait, that was the Avengers...

"What is it?...'Danny asked and the others looked concern.

Tucker grinned betrayed him though.

"Do you think we can ask Batman to get in on this?..."Tucker said and Danny rolled his eyes.

"You just want an autograph, don't you?..."Danny said in annoyance and Tucker sent a guilty smile.

Tucker had nothing against the Man of Steel but he had been a Batman fan since he was in grade school.

Guys like him, Tony Stark or The Green Arrow, who used their technology and their brains to stand alongside people with powers. to save the day..and get some of the hottest girls in the super hero/super villain communities to boot!

You'd understand why Tucker would be a fan of them.

"Can't blame a guy for trying..."He shrugged.

"Uh...I don't think Batman will be available for that. He has his hands full in Gotham as it is.."Superman said.

"Darn it..."Tucker pouted.

Upon hearing that name, Danny floated over to Superman and whispered into his ear.

"Speaking of which... I know from Kara that Batman is keeping an eye on Sam through all forms of communication without her knowledge... any chance he can ease up?..." Danny asked quietly. "She hasn't said a word..."He said.

"Afraid not..." Superman answered. "Even I can't stop him from being that invasive... Believe me, even I took forever to earn his trust..."The Man of Steel admitted.

The others looked confused. Only Kara knew what it was about due to her super hearing, but said nothing.

"What did you say to him?..." Sam asked.

Seeing who it was, Danny tried to come up with something.

"Uh... something involving Kara that I promised not to say..."Danny said, unsure if he should even tell her.

The others noticed how odd he was, but decided not to press further. Danny and Kara continued to discuss about the plan with Team Phantom and the Legendary Superman.


Later

After dropping off Sam and Tucker, Danny and Kara were now flying together.

Danny was nervous and a bit fidgety, something Kara caught onto.

"Don't worry, Kal-El knows what he's doing. And as much as I hate to say it, he has more experience in this sort of thing than either of us..." Kara said as she flew closer to look Danny in the eye.

When he didn't look her way, she guided his face towards her.

"It's not what he's doing I'm concerned about. It how he didn't know about Vlad before..." Danny expression of doubt never left his face. "Vlad has kept his secret hidden enough to escape Superman's notice. What's next? No one other hero has heard of Vlad Plasmius?..."He said.

Kara flew in even closer now, her face closer but more than mere inches apart. She said nothing, but gave Danny a playful smirk.

"I don't think that's the case. Superman and the others heroes have been dealing with more public villains. Vlad probably hasn't shown on radar because he did nothing that involved the league or any of the other public heroes, but now that's gone. He's in sight and you're with me. And I'll be here for you..."Kara said.

Danny smiles, Kara had a knack for just the right words.

"I'm glad about that...'Danny said, feeling a little more optimistic.

After all, maybe she is right.

Sure, Vlad has been a pain in his butt for a long time now and he has always had trouble dealing with him. But now he's got Kara and even her cousin backing him up.


At Fenton Works

The rest of the flight was silently happy. At least until Fenton works was in view and they raced for the last leg of the trip.

Despite his best efforts, Kara beat Danny...and not by a hair either.

" I guess this mean I get to choose the next date..." Kara teased.

"I'll beat you one of these days..."He said with a faux pout, not minding that he lost, really.

"We'll see..."Kara said with a giggle.

Danny lost his pout when he heard it and smile.

"She really has the cutest laugh..."He thought to himself.

The two changed back to their civilian identities in an alley nearby. The two held hand with smiles on their face the last few steps, but when they opened the door, any happiness they had dropped.

Right there, in the living room, drinking coffee with Mr. Fenton is none other than Vlad Masters...

"Danny, look who stopped by for a visit..."Jack said with a smile as he offered another cup to his "dear old friend".

"Ah, Daniel and the lovely young Kara, it's good to see you again..." Vlad said with a grin that Jack did not notice.

"Vlad!?..." Kara looked to the man with a look of pure confusion.

"You're actually here?..."Danny said, trying to control his rage.

It's very hard since this guy kidnapped his girlfriend, tried to turn his best friend against him, tried to melt Danielle, along with trying to kill on his dad numerous time.

"Why wouldn't I be?..." Vlad said, feigning confusion.

"Isn't it great?..." Jack asked, oblivious to the situation. "Vladdy here decided to visit us after his vacation. We were just talking about his trip..."He said happily before eating more of his fudge.

"Great..." Danny deadpanned.

Kara was still shocked. She honestly didn't believe Vlad would visit here, most likely to gloat.

Vlad walked over to the couple. With his back turned to Jack, the man showed some of his darker side, with a wicked glint in his eyes, similar to that of a snake cornering it's prey. Danny and Kara both sent cold glares at him in return.

"Anyway, how have you both been been? It feels like forever since we last met..." He asked with a smug look Jack did not notice.

"Not long enough..."Both Danny and Kara thought as they sent him equally cold glares.

"Oh... you know...the same.." Kara said, sending a cold glare at him, trying to sound normal despite how she wanted to throw this man to the moon.

"Why are you here?...'Danny said.

"Danny, don't be rude. Vlad is a guest here...'Jack scolded.

"Poor Danny..."Kara thought, realizing how frustrating this is for him.

At least, she was never had to pretend to be nice to Lex Luthor.

"Well isn't this a coincidence. Your father and I were just talking about your little girlfriend, Daniel...'Vlad said in a faux-jovial tone.

"You've certainly won the hearts of this family, young lady..." Vlad said, for the smallest moment his eyes flashed red as he locked eyes.

If Kara didn't know about Vlad's secret identity, she'd write it off as a trick of the light.

Danny sent him a glare before getting closer to Kara.

"What can I say, Vlad..." Danny said, placing an arm around Kara's waist.

Danny's hands felt warm, burning with power and ready to protect her if Vlad made a move.

Kara loved how sweet and protective he was being.

"He also mentioned that she was just one of 28 girls whom you could have chosen. My,oh, my little badger... you're quite the little Romeo aren't you..."Vlad said in a mocking tone.

"A regular chip off the old Fenton block..."Jack said in a proud tone.

Jack didn't realize that while Kara was aware of Danny's other dates, no girl likes being reminded of that. Vlad was FULLY aware of that.

"I guess it would look like that to an old bachelor like you..." Danny said, emphasizing those words.

He looked at Kara, hoping that what he said won't get under her skin.

Kara, while still a little befuddled about Vlad's egotistical appearance, stood in between the two. Her eye glaring daggers at the older gentleman.

"Now, now, Ms. Kent..." Vlad emphasized her name as a sign of his advantage, to his knowledge.

"Didn't your cousin teach you it's rude to stare..." Vlad said "though that is a parents job in most cases isn't it..."He whispered that in a voice so low, Jack couldn't hear it.

But Kara did. She saw red and it was only the fact that Mr. Fenton that she is not giving into the temptation of pounding Vlad's face in, along with the rest of them

"My parents taught me that respect should be earned not given, Mister Mayor..." Kara said, saying the last two words in a mocking sort of way.

"You didn't answer me, why are you here?...Danny demanded.

"Well, I can say that I'm not here to steal anything from you or your family. Then again, I had this thought at how happy Kara make you feel Daniel here. So I said to myself, 'Maybe I should steal some of that.' What do you think, Jack?"

The two men stared at each other before bursting out laughing.

"Ha ha ha! I'm such a kidder..." Vlad wiped an imaginary tear from his eye.

"The nerve of this guy..."Kara said, hating him more and more.

She thought Lex Luthor was bad...and he is, but Vlad is basically a school yard bully in a supervillains body...and just as irritating. And he had the nerve to even mention her parents to her face like that.

Kara saw a chance for a bit of payback as both Vlad and Mr. Fenton's eyes were closed as they laughed. Her eyes flashed red as she focused her heat vision into a small beam, hitting Vlad in his knees. With how small the beam was, it would feel like stubbing your toe at the beach but since Vlad wasn't expecting it, the older halfa nearly fell over landing on the Fenton's couch with an ooof

"Vladdy, are you okay?...'Jack said as he checked on his friend. He didn't see what Kara did at all, but Danny did.

Danny saw this and sent a smirk to Kara.

"Nice one.."He whispered.

"He was asking for it..."Kara whispered back, before feigning innocence.

"Oh my, you should be more careful, Mr. Mayor. You don't want to something that could get you seriously injured now, do you?..."Kara said in a honey sweet tone, with venom in the last few words.

Vlad sent her a glare, as he got up and dusted himself.

"Not to worry, my dear. I'm fine, accidents can happen anywhere and to anyone..." Vlad said menacingly.

Jack, being oblivious, grinned since he thought his friend was okay.

"Anyway, since we're all here, I'm gonna go get some more snacks...'Jack said as he went to the kitchen.

Leaving the two super teens alone with the super villain. With him gone, they were now openly glaring at each other.

"I take it you're here to do some gloating about your master plan since my mom's not here, so you can't try to get her to leave my dad for you..."Danny said with his arms crossed

'Wow...He's sunk lower than Luthor..."She thought, disgusted.

"So, what is it?..."Danny demanded.

"Ah, ever-"

"You seriously came here to gloat?" Kara interrupted Vlad. "You do realize how childish that is, right?..."Kara said with her hands on her hips

"Ever the quipster..." Vlad resumed with some anger. "I see now why you picked her, Daniel. Or is that the only reason? I wonder how the others felt about your choice...'He said.

If there was one thing Kara had learned of the older, evil half, it's that he will hit anywhere. The couple had weathered many obstacles, including those Vlad sent their way.

Luckily, Danny knew how to hurt Vlad the most.

"So enjoying the view..." Danny asked with a smirk.

"The view of what?..." Vlad rose a brow at the question. He looked to the window expecting something, but nothing was out of the ordinary.

"The view of me finding a girl that actually likes me back..." Danny was enjoying Vlad's face. "Cause I am. And I will every day. Can't say the same for you..."He said and Kara laughed.

Danny grabbed Kara's hand and gave her a kiss on the cheek. The two lovebirds were rubbing salty in Vlad's twenty-year-old wound in his heart.

"Well...let's see how long that lasts..." Vlad grumbled with as much venom as he could muster.

"Please, if villains like Braniac and Bizarro couldn't get rid me, what makes you think a bitter, single guy in his 40's can do any better?..."Kara pointed out as Danny snickered at that remark.

"Don't temp me, girl..."Vlad snarled.

"And don't temp me to knock your block off!..."Danny said as he stood in front of Kara.

"Now, spill it! What are you up to and what is that school competition REALLY about?..."Danny demanded.

"Ah, I see you have heard that I have founded... a little get-together of schools..."Vlad said with a smirk.

"What are you up to? Are these schools part of some scheme?..."Danny questioned.

Vlad laughed at Danny's accusations

"These schools have no use for any plans of mine..." Vlad said. "I just knew there'd be some... possible.. chances of victory. People can watch and dine on... pickles... maybe we'll have... ice hockey... in the competition and enjoy a... hardy... laugh and all that..."Vlad said in a smug tone.

Danny rose a brow.

"Why did he emphasize those words?..."He thought.

"It will be quiet an exciting... date... for all of you..." Vlad said.

Again... emphasizing...

"Nice, isn't it?...'Vlad said.

"Don't patronize us..Now what are you really planning to do with that?..."Kara demanded.

"I have nothing to hide. My advisors on the city council thought it would be good for my PR image. And a mayor has to look good for the people..."Vlad said.

"Even wearing clothes designed by Edna Mode can't make you look good!..."Kara said, thinking about the world's top fashion designer for Super Heroes.

That actually got a frown from Vlad, but not for the reasons Kara hoped for.

"Hmph... short little wench... dares to mock capes..." He grumbled.

"So why a sporting event between these schools? Even one not even from America?..." Danny asked before deciding to mock Vlad.

"Why not invite the Green Bay Packers for a meet and greet?..."Danny said and smirked when he saw Vlad throw a tantrum

"BECAUSE GREEN BAY SAYS AMITY PARK ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM!..." Vlad snapped before taking a breath and trying to maintain his villainous composure.

"Besides... I'm not planning anything that would require super-villainy..."Vlad said.

"He's lying..."Danny thought.

"You do realize that we're not buying that and also, whatever you're up to... we'll stop you. I've taken down creeps like Vandal Savage. We'll stop you too..."Kara said bravely.

Vlad glare at her in response.

"We'll see what happens, girl! But sooner or later, I always get what I want..." Vlad responded.

Vlad gave her a cold glare in response before hearing Jack returning from getting snacks. Once done, Jack came in, carrying fudge. Lots and lots of fudge.

"Alright-y, so Danny, why don't you and Kara stick around with me and the V-Man and we can watch a movie..."Jack suggested.

All three of them immediately rejected such a notion in their mind.

"Actually Jack, something's come up at the office and I have to go..."Vlad said.

"Not soon enough...'Danny whispered to Kara, who agreed.

"Alright, see you V-man..."Jack said.

Vlad soon started walking out, but not before purposely bumping into Danny, all while doing it with a smug look.

Danny looked annoyed. So did Kara, who responded by hitting him with her heat vision once again, hitting him right in the butt and causing him to yelp.

"OW!..."Vlad yelped.

"What's wrong V-Man?..."Jack asked and Vlad turned around to see Danny and Kara giving innocent looks, but smug eyes. He tried to resist the urge to growl, before plastering a fake grin to Jack.

"Oh, just mosquito biting. You know how annoying such insignificant little pests are..."Vlad said, though his eyes were on Danny and Kara.

"Beats being a fruitloop..."Danny thought as he watched his arch nemesis walk out.

Once he was gone, Jack scratched his head, before he shrugged. He then turned to his son and his son's girlfriend.

"Anyway Kara, wanna stay for dinner?..."Jack offered.

"Thank you, Mr. Fenton but I just came to drop Danny off. My cousin is expecting home soon..."Kara said and Jack grinned.

'Ah, see son. You could learn a thing or too from Kara about respecting curfews...'Jack said.

"Sure, dad...'Danny said, not really listening. He was still glaring in the direction where Vlad had left.

"What are you hiding, you Fruitloop?...'Danny thought angrily.


A little later

Not long after Kara left, Danny called Sam and Tucker and issued a group chat, which Kara is now a part of.

"You know, at first I thought you might have been exaggerating about Vlad's ego but clearly, I was wrong .I mean, seriously, even Luthor has more class than he does...'Kara said.

"Did he say anything important?...'Tucker asked.

"No, he just kept gloating and trying to get us psysched out..."Danny said to them.

"I don't like this Danny. He's definitely up to something..."Sam said.

"I know but we'll be ready for whatever it is..."Danny said, before he smirked.

"At least Kara managed to get back at him a little by roasting his butt with her heat vision...'Danny said and his friends laughed.

"I wish that I could have been there to see that.."Tucker said, chuckling.

'You and me both..."Sam said, meaning it.

"TUCKER! ARE YOU ONLINE AGAIN?!..."The loud voice of Angela Foley, Tucker's mom could be heard.

'Oh man! My mom! Talk to you later, guys!..."Tucker said as he quickly logged off before his mom showed up, most likely because he overused his internet privileges.

Again...

After a little more chatting with Kara and Sam, Danny logged off and sighed.

"What a day..."He said, feeling tense.

He changed into his ghost form and decided to take a quick flight to unwind. He spent about 20 minutes just soaring across town, enjoying the wind in his hair...

Until...a hand from nowhere grabbed Danny from behind. It pulled Danny through the window of an abandoned building.

"Whoa!..."He yelped.

Once he saw who it was, he frowned and phased of of his grasp.

"What do you want, Plasmius?..."Danny said, his guard up.

"To talk Daniel and offer you the chance to stay out of my way or I can't guarantee your loved ones safety...'Vlad said.

"Look Vlad, it's always been obvious between us. I hate you, you hate me. You try to ruin my life and I respond by kicking your butt and foiling your plans..."Danny said.

"And your point?...'Vlad said.

"Your problem is with me! Leave Kara and my friends out of it!..."Danny demanded.

"Oh, little badger. Didn't I teach you to exploit your opponents weaknesses. And over the past summer you have gained a SUPER weakness for me to exploit..."Vlad said smugly.

Danny leapt up, throwing a punch, aiming right for Vlad's smug face. Vlad swatted Danny's fist aside before pushing him to the ground.

"Now...now little badger, you really should mind your temper...'Vlad taunted.

"And you should get a life!..."Danny shouted.

That got to Vlad. He blasted Danny out the window. Once outside, the older halfa started ranting about how unfair things are for him and how he will make someone pay.

"I had a life!..." Vlad snarled

"I had one until your fathers incompetence destroyed it! I spent years in a hospital in agonizing pain because that ignoramus poured diet cola into the ecto filtration unit, while he got everything I ever wanted! The woman I loved and a family!..."Vlad yelled.

"I've built an empire but Jack Fenton wounded me in ways that can't be forgiven..."He yelled.

It was true, Danny thought.

His dad did put diet cola into the prototype portal but Vlad wouldn't end up happy if the portal had worked. Danny had seen that future with his own eyes.

He still ended up being a controlling, cruel, selfish person who forced his mother into a loveless marriage where he treated her like an object and had killed that version of his father.

"Doing all this won't bring you happiness. Me, Kara and my friends will stop you..."He vowed.

"Oh please Daniel, do you think because you have some super friends that you can beat me? I have eluded the likes of the Global Justice, The Justice League, The Avengers and all other goody two shoe groups for YEARS now. They don't even know that I exist and the worse kind of foe is the one you know nothing about..."Vlad said smugly.

"Even if your girlfriend and Superman know about me know, I ALWAYS prepare myself..."Vlad said.

Danny didn't like the sound of that.

Vlad isn't done yet.

"And come to think of it, since I can get back at your mouthy little blonde... so I'll just through my misplaced aggression on you!..."Vlad said as he then fired his ghost rays, prompting Danny to raise a shield.

"Don't you dare insult her..."Danny shouted.

"Aw, young love. They say it never lasts..."Vlack mocked.

Danny yelled in furious rage as he flew at Vlad, throwing wild punches before firing a ecto blast. Vlad moved around the attacks, punching Danny in the stomach and knocking the wind out of him.

"OW!..."Danny grimace, before looking at Vlad, floating above him.

"Please Daniel. You have never bested me in a fair fight before..."Vlad said.

"You NEVER fight fair..."Danny shouted.

In that instant, Danny fired an ice ray from a finger at an angle Vlad did not see. It hit him in the eye, covering part of his face in ice.

"ARGH!..." Vlad shouted as he tried to pull the ice off.

Taking advantage of the situation, Danny went in and finally landed a blow to Vlad's only did his fist shatter the ice, it also dealt more damage to Vlad's eye

No longer smug, Vlad's grimace became clear.

"Well, I suppose that's enough horseplay for one evening...'Vlad said to his foe.

"Have a good night, Daniel...'Vlad said before he vanished in a green mist.

Danny growled, getting angrier, before he tried to keep his cool.

"I promise Kara...I won't let him hurt you again..."Danny whispered to himself.

The young half ghost soon flew back home, feeling even more tense than before he left.


With Vlad

Vlad had returned to his laboratory and was greeted by his Maddie A.I.

"Welcome home, sweetheart. I have updated your files as you told me to..."The Maddie A.I said to her "sweetheart".

"Thank you, my dear..." Vlad said as he changed into his human form before making a rather private call.

"Hello...yes, the preparations are in place on my end...excellent, see you there..."Vlad said before hanging up.

He smiled wickedly as his plot was going EXACTLY as he wants it to.

"Excellent, now. Let the games begin. MUAHAHAHA!..."He said before laughing evilly.
