Daniel stood in front of a large house, early in the morning, a glowing sign illuminating the fourteen-year-old's face; 'Fenton Works' was the sign. Four large men stood on all sides of the young teen, waiting for the mother and father to answer the door.
Soon enough, Maddie and Jack Fenton opened the door, looking straight at the boy, not taking their eyes off him. Maddie gestured for Daniel to come inside, but didn't let the large men inside, instead watching them climb back in the van and take off.
"Hello, Daniel" Maddie watched as he looked around the house, examining the area. "Mrs. Fenton, correct?" Daniel spoke with no emotion in his voice, even his face held no emotion. "Yes, but you can call me Maddie if you rather" Maddie said, surveying the young teen.
He wore plain hospital scrubs that had red splatter on them, Maddie tried to not think about the chance that the red splatter was the young male's own blood. Daniel wore plain white slippers, and his hair was rather long and had knots, as if he hasn't brushed it in quite some time. Daniel was skinny, his clothes falling off his shoulder and revealing scarred flesh to the Fentons.
"We can get you new clothes, even a shower if you'd like" Maddie offered, "Yes, please" Daniel looked down at his current clothes with disgust, following Maddie up the stairs. "So, we didn't know what kind of soap you'd like, so we got you a mix of different ones, just let us know which ones you like the most" Maddie explained, grabbing a baby blue towel out from the cabinet that was underneath the sink.
"And I'll bring your clothes in just a moment" Daniel didn't know what to say as Maddie left, just staring at the door for a few moments.
It was the first shower where someone wasn't watching him. They trusted him to not go-ghost and fly away from this place. Sighing, Daniel began stripping and eventually figured out how to turn on the water.
Adjusting the water's temperature, he stepped under the stream. After wetting his hair, he looked over the different shampoos. He chose a tropical smelling one, whatever that was, he wasn't sure. He thought it smelt good though.
After choosing a similar smelling body wash, he stepped out of the shower, seeing clothes sat on the sink. It was a plain white tee, jeans, and red converse, though Daniel didn't know that they are called Converse. They fit nicely and he was glad to finally have clothes that actually fit him for once and to not have to wear those itchy hospital scrubs.
He hung the towel on the rack and stepped out of the bathroom, hearing a third voice, one that sounded much like a girl's voice. He was silent when coming down the starts, highly due to the fact that he was always silent around the lab when walking through the hallways.
He saw a teen girl with long orange hair and aqua blue eyes. She was in a rather intense conversation with Maddie, but it was Jack who noticed him. "Oh, Jaz!" Jack stood up, walking over Daniel, "This Daniel, Daniel meet Jaz".
Jaz and Daniel looked at one another, then Daniel spoke. "You can also call me Danny, if you rather" Danny saw slight shock flash through Jaz's eyes, he guessed from the kindness he had in his voice when talking with her. Maybe she assumed he'd be kind of a jerk? Or maybe that he'd be so stoic it would awkward? Most would've assumed he would have no social skills.
"Nice to meet you, Danny."
It took a little while for Danny and Jaz became more comfortable around each other, but once they did, Danny start acting more like the fourteen-year-old that he is.
"Your things were brought here last night" Maddie said, "You can get your room set up if you'd like to".
"Sure, that'll be nice" Danny stood up, off the couch. "Would you like to come with me?" He asked Jaz, who nodded and followed him and her mother, Danny's, sort of, adoptive mother.
His room was a rather large room, at least it was biggest bedroom he'd ever been given, much less had as his own. He spotted the boxes with messy handwriting, they sat on the floor, pressed up against the wall, some taped shut, some not.
"We thought you'd might want to pick your own sheets, so we've haven't made the bed, yet" Maddie explained, but he didn't mind. He's never had anyone let him make his own choices, he never got to pick out his own soaps, where he slept, who was in the room with him, much less getting pick out his own bedsheets.
It was rather overwhelming, and he couldn't stop himself from giving the older woman a hug, which he could tell shocked her as well. "Oh, well" Maddie paused, trying to think of something to say. "Thank you" Danny fought the urge to cry, crying is what gets him hurt. They hated him crying.
It was quite shocking how Danny changed just from arrival at the Fenton's household. He went from showing no emotion at all, to nearly crying in front of them, just in the span of a the day.
"Thank you taking me in, taking me away from that horrible place" Danny felt Maddie's hands comb through the back of his hair, and slightly leaned into the touch. "To let you know, tomorrow some kids are coming over, they've agreed to keep your secret and help you at school, if needed" Maddie informed him, "I wanted you to have time to get to know them, and them get to know you".
The next afternoon, two teens arrived at the house. One male, Tucker, and the other's female, Sam.
Sam has fair skin, violet eyes, and short black hair with a small ponytail at the top and at the back of her head held by a green hair tie. She also wears purple lipstick.
Sam's clothing consists of a black choker around her neck, black tank top exposing her midriff with a purple oval in the center, black striped skirt with a green crosshatch design, purple leggings, and black combat boots. She also wears a pair of black bracelets around both of her wrists.
Tucker has brown skin, turquoise eyes, black hair, and wears black glasses. He wears a long-sleeve yellow shirt, green cargo pants with a black belt, and brown boots along with a red beret.
"Danny, meet Sam and Tucker" The two teens were surprised to see how scrawny the halfa is. "Nice to mee you" Sam was the first to speak, sticking her hand out for a handshake, but pulling it back when Danny flinched at the sudden movement, stepping backwards. "Nice to meet you, as well" Danny shakily smiled at them.
"I'll let the three of you have your teen time" Maddie ruffled Danny's hair walking off, continuing making their lunch. "I'm Tucker, Tucker Foley" Tucker rested his arm across Danny's shoulder, "Yeah, she, well um, Maddie told me" Danny wasn't sure what to say, he'd never met anyone that's his age, well that's excluding Jaz, the other kids at the facility.
"Well, I brought some games with me" Tucker pulled out his PDA, not that Danny would know what that is, from his pocket. "And I brought card games" Sam crossed her arms. Danny wasn't sure what to do, so he pretty much just went along with what they decided on.
The trio spent the afternoon playing games and teaching Danny how to play them. Soon the afternoon turned into evening and before they knew it, it was time for Sam and Tucker to go back home.
They were in the middle of a boss level when Jaz came into the room, "It's time for Sam and Tucker to go home". With Jaz coming into the room, it caused Danny to become distracted, which also caused them to lose the level. "Dang, well, it was nice to hang with you" Tucker and Sam walked down the stairs while Danny and Jaz stayed back to talk for a moment. He heard them leave the house, and the closing of the door afterwards.
"You seem to be really comfortable around them" Jaz pointed out. "They're very nice" Danny went to say more but stopped at the sound of an unfamiliar voice. He looked at Jaz with a confused look. "Your emergency contact showed up" Jaz explained, "Out of the blue, too".
The adoptive siblings walked down the stairs; Danny slowed down a little when the new man came in his line of vision. "Hello, Daniel" He appeared to be the same age as his adoptive parents. He had long silver hair and wore a nice suit.
"Hello" Danny stopped at the bottom of the stairs, surveying the room. Maddie and Jack sat on the couch, on either side of the silver-haired male. Jaz sat on the armchair, which was big enough for both Danny and Jaz, so Jaz patted the spot next to her, signaling for Danny to sit with her.
"So, Danny, this is Vlad Masters. He's your emergency contact and an old college friend of ours" Maddie explained. "Nice to meet you, sir" Danny made sure to put sir on the end of it, a habit he'd gained during the many times he'd be introduced to businessmen at the facility.
"No need to be so formal, Daniel" Vlad said, studying the young boy with gaze that made him quite uncomfortable.
"Well, I'm almost down preparing dinner. Danny, would you like to cook with me?" Maddie offered, noticing the boy's discomfort. Danny nodded, following her into the kitchen, leaving Jack to talk to Vlad.
"Are you alright?" Maddie asked once they were in the kitchen. "Yeah, I guess just a bit" Danny paused, trying to think of a word to describe it, "unused to all of this". Maddie nodded, stirring the pot of noodles. "I was pretty much done, I just wanted to give you the chance to step away" Maddie admitted, draining the noodles, then adding them to the sauce.
"Thanks"
"Anytime"
