TMDDF: Danny and Kara
Chapter 13: Ghost Boy Meets The Man Of Steel Part 4
Danny goes to Metropolis to visit Kara and meet her family...and also has a chance to meet his idol, the legendary Man of Steel...who also happens to her cousin.
Previously
'Uncle John! Aunt Martha!..."Kara shouted happily as she hugged the elderly couple, being very careful not to crush them to death with her strength as she did so.
"Kara! Oh my girl, let me look at you!..."Martha shouted happily as she hugged the girl that she has come to love like family over the years.
"Hey there Kara, I hope Clark has bee taking good care of you...'Johnathan said as he hugged her.
"Don't worry, he has..."Kara said as she sent her cousin a smile while he set the bags down.
Danny remained silent as he watched Kara catch us with her family. Soon their eyes were on him and Kara went to him, with a large smile on her face.
'Everybody, I would like to officially introduce you all to my boyfriend, Danny Fenton...'Kara said as she announced that happily to her family.
The entire Kent family's eyes were on him and Danny gulped, before giving them a sheepish smile.
"Um...Hi...'He said nervously as he met his girlfriend's family.
Oh boy...
After their arrival, the Kent family and their guest were soon seated at the living room of Clark's apartment, where they all began to chat as they tried to get to know Kara's new boyfriend, who seemed a little shy to say the least.
'So, you are the Danny that our Kara has been seeing these last few months?...'John asked upon meeting him.
"Yes, sir..'Danny said, trying to be polite here.
"Well, it's a pleasure to finally meet you...I'm Johnathan Kent and this is my wife, Martha...'Johnathan said as he shook his hand.
"How do you do, son?...'Martha asked.
"Fine...thank you...'Danny said, trying to mind his manners as he was introduced to the elderly couple.
Soon it was his turn to meet Kara's cousin Clark, the one who is the big shot reporter for the Daily Planet and also managed to get all those awesome stories about Superman.
"You must be Clark, Kara has told me so much about you...it's nice to finally meet you...'Danny said, trying to be polite and friendly.
Clark smiled a bit as he extended his hand.
"Likewise...'He said as they shook hands and Danny was surprised by how strong his hand shake is...though he probably shouldn't given how...statuesque, Kara's cousin is.
After the introductions, Kara served tea for everyone.
"So, Danny...'Clark started and the boy flinched upon being addressed again.
"Yes, sir...'Danny said and Clark actually chuckled at that.
'Call me, Clark...'He said, deciding to go easy on him since he seemed nervous enough and he sent no ill intentions from the young boy.
"Kara tells that you are all the way from Amity Park and that you guys met on a blind date...'Clark said.
"Yes, that's true...best part of my entire summer..."Danny said.
"Meeting me or the dating in general..."Kara asked in a joking sort of manner, while her family chuckled at that.
"Meeting you, obviously...'Danny said while the blonde girl smiled at that.
"What school do you go to?..." Johnathan asked.
"I go to a school called Casper High...I'm in sophomore year right now...'Danny said, and Johnathan looked surprised.
"So you're younger than Kara, I take it..."Johnathan said.
'It's one year, so what...'Kara said, not caring.
"Age has nothing to do with love, John dear,...after all, you're five years older than me...' Martha pointed out to her husband.
"I suppose you got me there, dear...'Johnathan said with a chuckle.
"Tell us more about yourself, Danny..."Clark asked and Danny nodded.
"Well, I'm almost 15...as I said, I go to Casper High...I live with my mom, my dad and my older sister and my best sport happens to be bowling...'Danny said, giving the most censored version about who he is to his girlfriend's family, without mentioning his other half.
Now is not the time to bring that up yet.
'Bowling, huh? Then one of these days we should play a game...I happen to be pretty good at throwing stuff...'Clark said and Kara sent him a look at that obviously bad joke he made that only those in the family could understand.
"So, tell us about your family Danny? What are they like?...'Martha asked, curious and Danny flinched a bit, which didn't go unnoticed by Clark.
He was that the boy actually seemed embarrassed by something and noticed the sympathetic look that Kara is sending them.
"My parents are Jack and Maddie Fenton..they are scientists and aspiring inventors...'Danny said, looking down.
Johnathan and Martha were curious but noticed that the boy didn't seem all that comfortable about talking about his parents, but the look Kara sent them told them to change the subject.
So they did...
"So...any music you like to listen to?...'Johnathan asked and Danny perked up a bit.
"I like listening to rock and roll, especially Dumpty Humpty...'Danny said.
"You mean that band that's named after a nursery rhyme?...'Clark asked and Danny nodded.
"Eh, if that's what you like but if you ask me, no band comes even close to being as good as the Beetles...'Clark said and Kara sent him a look.
"What? They are still huge, as far as I' concern..."Clark said while Kara rolled her eyes at how old fashioned her cousin can be.
They all continued talking and getting to know each other and Danny smiled slightly as he felt his nerves calming down just a bit.
"So far, so good...'He thought.
He just hopes that it will last.
Meanwhile
Sam was in Jazz's car with Tucker but they were not heading back to Amity Park.
Not in the slightest.
You see, Sam showed them the video of Kara using her flight and Jazz and Tucker...
They were stunned but they didn't know what to think. Sam insisted that she wanted to show Danny the evidence to protect him from whatever Kara was hiding and Jazz, she didn't know what she thought but she ended up agreeing to search for Metropolis for Danny, since something does seem to be up and it's best that he'd be informed of it.
"Faster, Jazz!...'Sam ordered from the back seat, being impatient.
"Sam, I'm going as fast as the law allows..."Jazz said.
"Every second counts!...'Sam shouted.
"Sam, we don't even know what is going on..."Tucker said, still surprised by the revelation and knowing that even Sam wouldn't be desperate enough to fake a video like that, so it has to be real.
"All I know is that I was right and that Kara has been keeping something huge from us and even Danny! She's some ghost or a witch or something, I don't know...all I know is that she isn't human and that alone makes her a threat!..."Sam said in anger.
"We don't know that Danny doesn't know, either..."Jazz pointed out, though even she wasn't sure.
Would Danny really not tell them about Kara and her powers if he knew?
"Jazz, you and Tuck know as well as I do that Danny would never keep a secret from us, especially about something so big...'Sam said and Jazz frowned.
"I beg to differ, he never told me about his powers, I found out on my own and you two were with him when he got his powers..'Jazz pointed out and Sam sent her a glare in annoyance.
"Now's not the time to argue! Sam, even if Kara has powers, how the heck are we going to find her and Danny?..."Tucker asked and Sam pointed to his PDA.
"The same way you found me..."Sam ordered and Tucker sighed.
He was so confused but the fact remains is that they don't know what Kara is, and what if Sam is right?
What if Danny really is in trouble?
Later
Soon the Kent family and their guest were seated for dinner, with Danny sitting next to Kara. Clark had ordered a catered dinner just for today since amazing powers aside, he wasn't one for cooking and neither is Kara, which is ironic considering her appetite.
Anyway, the nice tablecloth and good silverware was out, even the good china too as the family and young boy were all seated together. After the Kent's said grace, it was time to dig in.
The dinner was a fine roast chicken with rice, mash potatoes, greens, corn bread and some other stuff too that looks really good.
"Looks good...'Johnathan said as he eyed the food.
"It should...it cost Clark an arm and a leg here..."Kara said.
'Kara..."He hushed her while Danny tried hard not to chuckle at that, not wanting to get the taller guy annoyed at him.
"So, Clark? Kara told me that you work at the Daily Planet as a reporter...'Danny said, as everyone started eating and socializing again.
Clark smiled.
"Yes, I am...for over five years now...'Clark said to the young boy, who looked impressed.
"I also heard that you are the one who got all those great stories on Superman...'Danny said and the other Kent's eyes widened and tried to act casual.
"Yes, I have..."Clark said.
"I really liked that story about how he faced that big creep...Bizarro or whatever..man, the way he took him down was cool..."Danny said, admiration visible in his tone.
Clark heard this and tried hard not to smile in a bashful sort of way. Kara had told him that her boyfriend is a fan of his. Kara tried hard not to giggle, believing that now would probably be the best time to let him know the truth, that he is sitting right across from the man he idolizes. Besides, tonight they both agreed to tell them tonight about Danny's powers and now seems like a good time. However, before Danny or Kara could bring it up, the dark haired boy noticed something...
He was staring at Clark, who looked a little alarmed to say the least by the boy's staring.
"Uh...what are you looking at?...'Clark asked, wondering if this kid knew or not.
"Uh...Clark, you have something red on your forehead?...'Danny said as he pointed to the spot and Kara looked surprised and then her advance hearing picked something up.
They all looked and to her surprise, she noticed a little red dot on Clark's forehead...which would only mean-
"GET DOWN!...'Kara shouted and Danny, out of instincts hit the ground, just as the others, including Clark, who was only one second away from getting a laser through his forehead.
'WHAT THE HECK?!...'Danny exclaimed as they suddenly saw something break into the apartment...
And it's not human too...
"YOU?!..."Kara and Clark both shouted when they saw the creature that has invaded their home.
It's one of Braniac's Droids, being controlled by the merciless tech villain himself.
The droid did a scan of the area and it's eyes landed on the two younger Kent...on Kara to be more specific.
"Subject Kara Zor-El...'The machine said.
"Brainiac..." Kara said, very unhappy at the sound of that machine voice.
Danny's eyes widened.
"Brainiac?! The robot alien psychopath who purportedly caused the destruction of Krypton?..."Danny exclaimed in shock.
Danny did his history of a lot Superman's enemies since dating Kara, including some of their most notable enemies, with Brainiac being in their Top 3, between Darkseid and Lex Luthor.
And now that freak is here too?!
"Yeah... same one." Kara whispered as her eyes were on the space villain, but Clark got up, between the two, but didn't take his glasses off yet.
"What are you doing here?!...'Clark demanded.
"I have come because I require Kryptonian DNA..." The voice of the titular Coluan spoke. "The DNA of a younger Kryptonian is preferable."
"Not happening!" Kara shouted as she got up and Clark looked troubled due to their guest.
"You want her, you're gonna have to get through me, creep!..." Danny shouted as he stood in front of Kara and glared at the Colucan droid.
"So be it!...'The Braniac droid said before shooting a laser at Danny and Kara-
"Danny! Look out!..."Kara shouted as she pushed Danny out of the way when a blast from the droid was fired in his direction.
She didn't remembered or cared that he could have dodged that blast, or that it wouldn't have done much damage to him due to his amazing healing factor...or the fact that he was about to go ghost to face off against the villain.
All she saw what that her boyfriend was about to get hit, so she pushed him out of the way...and got hit in the process and the blast shocked her.
"AHHH!..."Kara yelled in pain, before passing out.
"KARA!...'Clark and Danny both shouted, but Braniac then pulled something out that emitted a green light and Clark,Martha and Johnathan ended up passing out and Danny was struggling to stay awake.
"W-What?...'He said as he tried hard to stay awake.
"It is a gamma wave that emits an energy that is similar to that of kryptonite and has a component similar to knock out gas...it's not deadly since I need both Kryptonians alive...for now..."Braniac said as his droid picked up the unconscious Kara and flew away.
That is when Danny passed out himself, with this being his final word as began to pass out.
"Kara..."He whispered before everything became black.
Danny soon got back up, dizzy and looked around and saw the unconscious elderly couple and Kara's cousin Clark and he saw the damage and what happened.
"Oh man, Kara!..."He exclaimed as he got up and started to shake the elderly couple and Clark awake.
They work up, came to their senses, saw the damage and were horrified.
"Oh no! Kara! I can't believe that I let this happen!...'Clark bemoaned, no longer caring that an outsider heard him.
"No, this is my fault...I should have decked that metal creep when I had the chance but don't worry, I'm going after them...'Danny said, no longer caring about his secret right now.
Kara is more important than that.
"What? What are you talking about?..."Johnathan asked.
"Just so you know, I know that Kara is kryptonian...I know that she is Supergirl and that's why that creep took her...'Danny said to Clark.
"You know?!...'Clark exclaimed in surprise, as were Johnathan and Martha too.
"Yes, and to clarify, Kara isn't the only hero here...'Danny said as he decided that it was now or never.
Kara's safety is a stake here and he has no time to mince words. Danny changed into his ghost form and Clark's eyes widened, as did Johnathan and Martha.
He doesn't reveal himself to anyone, ever! But he has to save Kara and he has no time to waste with making up an excuse.
"My name is Danny Phantom, and I promise that I will explain everything later but first I got to go save Kara from that thing...'Danny said as he flew out after them... " Go call Superman or whoever and tell them what happened, but until then, I'm going after that creep...'Danny said as he flew out.
Leaving a stunned Martha, Johnathan and especially Clark, behind.
Once they recovered, Johnathan spoke first to his son.
"So the boy knows who Kara is and is special too...'Johnathan said.
"He also doesn't seem to know the whole story, does he, Clark?.."Martha said with meaning in her tone to her adopted son, who snapped out of his shock.
"Either way, he's right...Kara needs help...'Clark said as he opened up his shirt to reveal a familiar S symbol underneath it.
Danny flew as fast as he could, trying desperately to find that android that just kidnapped his girlfriend from her own home to destroy it and save her.
"Don't worry Kara, I'm coming...'Danny said as he kept flying as fast as he can.
He was going to save Kara, one way or the other...
