TMDDF: Danny and Kara
Chapter 27: Back to Normal?
It had only been a few days since Danny and Sam fixed things, but the goth girl couldn't be happier to hang around her friends again.
She had her best friends again and she was once again part of a team that she took such pride being a part of.
Despite it being against gothic norm, she was happy.
Heck, even Lancer's lecture was better. Or that may have been the euphoria from not only having her friends back, but also getting on Supergirl's better side.
Sam just wished she could do the same with Jazz. The older teen was still mad, and Sam knew she had a right to be. Though that didn't mean the glares from the redhead didn't hurt during school, social occasions, or ghost hunting.
It hurt but Sam wouldn't give up. Just as Danny said, Jazz would forgive her in time. She just had to be patient and not do anything stupid to upset her anymore.
Anyway, it was now Friday and the members of Team Phantom were once again at school for their daily dosage of tests, books and teacher's dirty looks.
"Finally...it's Friday...I thought the weekend would never get here...it's gonna rock..."Tucker said with a grin.
"Any particular reason for your sudden optimism?.."Danny asked with an amused smile.
"Yeah, Velma called me last night...she says that she and her friends are going to Elmerton this weekend...apparently there is some mystery happening there, something about a haunted factory...and she wants to meet with me for an in-person date!..."Tucker said in excitement.
Danny and Sam both smiled when they heard this.
"I'm happy for you, Tuck..."Danny said.
"Any chance we might be able to finally meet this Velma girl in person?...'Sam asked, actually curious.
Before, she had been too busy brooding about Danny to ask but since things have calmed down and were back to normal, she was legitimately curious about Tucker's mysterious online girlfriend.
All she did know is that she is from another city and is apparently a part of some group of young detectives. She is also supposedly very good with machines, which sort of made sense if she was Tucker' "perfect match".
"I'll try and arrange something...you guys are gonna love her, Velma is really cool and smart...she even has a 160 IQ!.."Tucker said, practically gushing
"That's even higher than Jazz's...'Danny commented, impressed.
His sister had an IQ of 155, which she took great pride in. He wondered how'd she react if a younger girl scored even higher.
"She sounds like a keeper, Tuck..."Sam said, actually feeling happy for him.
Sure, she hated that the dating service had gotten in her way but she has no control over what her friends choose to do in their spare time...or whom they choose to spend it with.
But if Danny and Tucker are both happy, she had to be happy for them.
"Wanna know what's weird though? Velma is a genius, obvious but she apparently tries to be a skeptic when it comes to ghosts and aliens..." Tucker said.
Both of them looked a bit baffled by that.
"So... Superman is just a guy on a wire for her?..." Danny asked.
Tucker shrugged.
"She knows it's not entirely true, but she insists on it...besides, most of the mysteries she solved are caused by bad guys in costumes...like this one time, she and her friends went to investigate a haunting at a museum, about some Black Knight ghost, who turned out to be a guy who worked there who was trying to scare visitors away so he could do some art forgery scheme..."Tucker explained.
Danny and Sam both looked surprised, but Danny accepted it faster, due to what he has experienced over the Summer.
Sam shook her head, still in disbelief over what she was hearing.
"You guys met the weirdest girls over the Summer..."Sam commented, while Danny chuckled.
"You have no idea..."He said.
His smile slightly dropped as he recalled something, something Sam noticed.
"What's wrong?..."She asked.
"N-Nothing!..." Danny said.
Tucker realized what he meant.
"Let's just say not everyone was a Kara for Danny... or me..." Tucker said, still recalling the countless rejections he faced during his time at the service before he got lucky with Velma.
Sam looked to the suspicious, but the look of discomfort on Danny's face made her realize it was a bad decision. That and she knows not to peek into an area she's not meant to learn about.
She's not making that mistake again.
"Okay then..."She said.
She knew that he would tell her when he was ready. She just had to be wait.
"So, any plans...for you, Danny?..."Tucker asked, being careful.
Even if Sam has been let back in the group, he knew that it was probably too soon. Sam noticed ans sighed.
"Tucker, you can say her name...I'm not gonna hit you again..."Sam said and Danny raised a brow.
He then decided to answer.
"Well, Kara is coming over this weekend but it's not for a date...she's still worried about Vlad..."Danny said and his friends understood.
It sucks that Vlad knew Kara's secret identity but at the very least they had the leverage of knowing his too.
"Maybe he'll keep his mouth shut because Kara could just tell people his secret too..."Tucker suggested.
"True..." Danny said, but he frowned.
He knew what Vlad is capable of. He might not be able to expose her, but that doesn't make him any less dangerous.
"But that doesn't help her sleep better. She's probably going to ask her cousin for help ..."Danny said.
"You sure Su-" Sam stopped and looked around to make sure nobody was around. "Superman can help?..."She whispered the rest of her line.
"I hope so..."Danny sighed.
Ever since the fall formal, Vlad has been unusually quiet.
Danny figured that he was still recuperating from his defeat but he knew from experience that even when Vlad is down, he isn't out.
It was only a matter of time before he started causing trouble again.
He just hoped that when that happened, he and Kara would be ready.
Meanwhile
At Metropolis High
Kara is back in school. She just got out of homeroom and went to her locker, still deep in thought.
Although things are quiet, she can't help but feel something could go wrong any minute now. It's like being around an un-exploded bomb. It might go off or might not.
You have no idea what might happen and the uncertainty is unbearable!
However, she was dealing with something far worse for her than a UXB. And it's in the form of a power hungry mad man with delusions of grandeur and for once, it's not Lex Luthor.
"That creep knows who I am... it's only a matter of time before he finds out who Superman is too...'Kara thought.
For all she knows, Vlad ALREADY figured it out and is just waiting for the right time to strike.
Although she did some saving as Supergirl before class, she did it fast. Ordinarily, she'd remain to make sure everyone was alright after carrying that car from hitting the buildings, but she flew away fast. At least the police arrived, but she's been a bit jumpy ever since.
"Miss Kent?..."Someone spoke up from behind her.
She gasped loudly and turned around, only to be relieve when she saw it was her chemistry teacher, a 28 year old bespectacled woman in a business suit and a bun in her hair, along with a stern demeanor.
"Miss Bertinelli... sorry..."Kara said politely to her teacher.
"I was going to ask if you completed your assignment, due today?..."Ms. Bertinelli asked.
"Y-Yes..." She said and the teacher raised a brow at that.
"Miss Kent, are you feeling well?..."The teacher asked.
"Yes...why do you ask?..."Kara asked.
"Well, it's just that you've been a bit jumpy lately. Is everything okay, Miss Kent?..."Miss Bertinelli asked, concerned.
She might be one of the toughest teachers of Metropolis High, hailing from Gothan City but she did care about her students.
Kara just nodded.
"Yeah..." She said, trying to convince herself more than her.
"Yeah. I mean, I'm seeing my boyfriend from Amity Park this weekend. I'm just... a bit worried since he and his friend, who used to not like me, buried the hatchet. I'm just hoping she and I can call ourselves friends soon..."She said.
It's not actually a lie, after all but not the real reason she's like this.
"Well... okay, well, I hope everyone works out..."Ms. Bertinelli said before walking away.
Kara nodded and resumed walking to class. She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.
"It'll be okay... Clark isn't around but Danny can help me... I know it!..."She muttered.
They would find a way to deal with Vlad soon. Until then, she had to maintain her cool and be prepared for anything.
Back at Casper High
As the members of Team Phantom were discussing upcoming strategies and also getting their items from their lockers, they got an unwelcome intrusion from the biggest head ache at Casper High.
"FOLEY!..."The head ache shouted in his annoying voice.
Danny groaned at that voice as they watched resident jerk-face Dash Baxter marching up to them, looking peeved about something.
Dash Baxter grabbed Tucker by the collar and lifted him up.
"What do you want, Dash?" Sam challenged.
"Thought you could sneak away, huh? Well, guess again! You're gonna pay for giving me all of those bad dates!...'Dash shouted.
"Excuse me?...'Sam questioned, looking confused.
"Remember how Dash got paired by 5 girls who rejected him? Apparently, he has jumped to the conclusion that someone sabotaged him...'Danny said.
'Shut up! There is only one reason why I got all those lousy dates who didn't pick me..."Dash shouted.
"Is it that you're a creep to anyone who doesn't care you're a football star since you have no aspiration for life after high school and you're an idiot?" Danny questioned, earning a few giggles from nearby students.
Dash turned red with rage.
"It's because the techno geek here! I know that he hacked the computers! Babes like Bonnie should have wanted a second date with me!" He shouted.
"Is he serious?! Of course he is...'Sam thought with a frown, before becoming concern with Tucker.
"I... DIDN'T... DO IT!..." Tucker said while being shook by the violent bully.
"Dash, put him down!...'Danny shouted.
"Baxter!..." Principal Ishiyama, who saw this, scowled at him.
"Put his down... NOW!..."Principal Ishiyama shouted.
Reluctantly, and with a scowl, Dash obeyed.
"Good, now here. For violating the school's anti-bullying policy by threatening another student, you have detention after school...again..."Principal Ishiyama sighed, while Dash growled.
"You'll pay for this..." He looked to Danny. "You and your semi-hot girlfriend who'd be hotter without the glasses!..."The bully spat.
Dash then stormed off, gripping the detention slip in his hand.
Danny rolled his eyes. Even if Kara asked to remain anonymous about her hand in the school's new "anti-bullying policy", Dash is convinced that he was behind it, along with Kara.
Danny didn't feel the need to comment that for once, Dash was sort of right.
Anyway, one of his issues, besides that is far more petty. A while after Danny's near perfect date score was discovered, Dash had gone up to Tucker and accused him of hacking the system to give Danny that high rating and also to set him up on lousy dates. He even tried to beat Tucker up but it was only the timely intervene by Ms. Tesslaff and the threat of a month's detention that saved Tucker.
And it seems that Dash STILL didn't learn his lesson. He really doesn't seem to grasp the fact that thanks to Kara, the teachers aren't turning a blind eye to his bullying anymore and are keeping a close eye on him and the other bullies.
He still is convinced that Tucker had hacked the system to give him bad dates and to give Danny his high dating score, which Danny didn't understand the big deal of.
Also, with the exception of the other members of the A-List, more of the students at school didn't believe that rumor of Tucker hacking to give him a high score, due to the fact that they had all witness Felicia making out with Danny (which Mikey got on video tape) and due to Kara, they sided more with Danny than Dash on the matter.
It was unusual but not unwelcome change of pace around here.
"I still can't believe he actually accused me about hacking the website to set him up on bad dates...'Tucker muttered.
"I can! He is such an egoist..."Sam said with her arms crossed.
She didn't know who those girls that Dash got paired up with but she actually felt sorry that they had to deal with a moron like him. Besides, if they are smart enough to have more taste than Dash, they can't be all bad.
"Like I waste my time doing something that petty..besides, even if I felt like it, I couldn't hack inside their system, they really upped the firewall security since someone already hacked them during the summer...'Tucker said.
Sam eyed Tucker in concern and curiosity, with a slight tinge of playfulness.
"Not me! " Tucker exclaimed. "Someone else did it. They froze my account for a day..."He explained.
"I never did ask, who did that?..."Danny asked.
"No idea...they said it was some crazy client who got banned and arrested as a result. I don't know..."Tucker said.
"Anyway, it's not the worst that happened...that ties between my dates with Meg and Eva...'Tucker said before shuddering.
"Who and who?..."Sam questioned.
"Meg was his ugliest date and Eva was the one that tried to beat him up for spilling his drink on her...'Danny exclaimed and Sam looked horrified.
She did frown when she heard the first one.
"Okay, this Eva does sound scary even by my standards but judging a girl based on her looks? For shame..."Sam said with her arms crossed.
"Hey! You weren't there...you didn't see her or had to listen to her complaining about how no one pays attention to her...'Tucker said.
Sam looked confused.
"Oh come on. She couldn't have been that bad. Besides, she couldn't have been worse than the other duds you had to deal with, like that girl that you said was like Paulina but with beaver teeth or... Vicky...'Danny said with a shudder.
"Vicky?..'Sam questioned.
"A girl that both me and Tucker got paired up with at different times and the one I gave a 0..."Danny said, still shuddering.
"This I got to hear...what happened?..."Sam questioned.
"She stole my wallet and ditched me...'Tucker said.
"Ouch..."Sam commented, feeling pity right now.
"And she dumped her food on me and left me with the bill after she found out that I am" a broke loser" in her own words..."Danny said, still mad over what happened.
"Again. Ouch...'Sam said, hating this Vicky even more.
"Even worse, she bullies kids..."Danny said as he explained all the other rotten things Vicky did and how he managed to get his payback on her.
Once he was done, Sam was smirking.
"Okay, normally I don't approve of using your powers for revenge...but I think I'll make an exception for that one...'Sam said.
"Good..."Danny said, chuckling.
"Any chance I can see that video..."She whispered to Tucker.
"It's online and already has 10,000,000 hits..."Tucker said as he made a mental note to send her the link later.
Meanwhile
In Dimmsdale
A certain bucktooth boy and his fairies were laughing their heads off after watching their favorite video for the literal one thousandth time.
"HAHAHAHA! Look at how she fell into the garbage can...'A green haired fairy laughed.
"Did you see the look on her face when the bees chased her to get that sticky bun! HAHAHA!..."The boy laughed.
"I know laughing at other peoples humiliation isn't very nice but...HAHAHHAHA! THIS IS TOO RICH!..."The pink haired fairy laughed while her purple son was giggling up a storm.
But none more than a certain bucktooth boy who was laughing until he was actually in tears and holding his ribs.
"HAHAHAHHA! This is the best humiliating Vicky video ever! I just can't believe I didn't wish for this!..."He laughed.
The boy is Timmy Turner and with him are his fairies, Cosmo, Wanda and their son Poof. They had discovered a rather unflattering video about Timmy's hated babysitter Vicky after the girl had been laughed out of her high school on the first day of school and they had been binging on it ever since.
"HAHAHAHAHA! I don't know who made this video about Vicky but I think they are my new hero! HAHAHAHAHHA!..."The bucktooth boy continued to laugh and laugh his little head off.
Back at Casper High
While they began to walk and talk, one of the students, a senior by the name of Michelle Lynn Clarke came to them...To Danny in particular.
"Hey Danny..."Michelle said.
Danny and the others blinked. Michelle is really popular and a SENIOR student. She is also one of the few girls at school who can give Paulina some competition in the looks department.
"Are...you talking to me?...'Danny asked as he pointed to himself and Michelle giggled.
"Duh, you are D-Fenton, from that dating service during the summer, right?.."Michelle said.
Danny nodded, still unsure as Michelle handed him what looked to be a party invitation.
"Cool. Anyway, I am having a party this weekend, do you think you can come?..."Michelle said and everyone was surprised.
"Uh...is this one of those joke invites the A-lists sometimes do?..."Danny questioned.
Michelle heard this and shook her head.
"As if, that is like, so grade school...you are for real invited..."Michelle said, flashing a pretty smile.
If he didn't have a girlfriend and had it been before the dating service, Danny would hope Michelle had a thing for him. She really is hot. But he prefers Kara to be honest.
"Uh... I have a girlfriend..."Danny said quickly.
Michelle chuckled.
"I'm not asking you out, Silly. I want you and her, even your friends to come..."Michelle said kindly.
"Uh...why? Since when does a Senior want a sophomore at their parties?...'Sam asked, being naturally suspicious.
"Hey, he is the record holder from the dating service...you managed to get 28 girls into you, so I figure you are cool enough to come to my party, along with your girlfriend Kira..."Michelle said.
"Uh..her name is Kara..."Danny said.
"My mistake...so, you think you both can make it?..."Michelle asked.
"Uh...I'll have to ask Kara, she lives all the way in Metropolis...'Danny said.
"Cool, just RSVP soon...'Michelle said, before walking away.
The trio just remained still.
"Did that just happen?..." Tucker asked.
"I think it did..." Danny said, still surprised.
Meanwhile
As Michelle walked down the halls, someone took offense to what he saw.
It was Dash Baxter, who was still angry over getting detention again. He is also one of Michelle's many admirers and he has been trying to go out with her for months now. She only agreed to one date with him, that ended before it started after he failed to get tickets to a big game that she wanted to see, AFTER he promised her that he'd get the tickets.
"How the heck could you invite Fenton to your party and not me?...'Dash demanded and Michelle rolled her eyes.
"Maybe since he seems to be cool to over 2 dozen other girls and I doubt he'd fail to get his girlfriend tickets to a basketball game AFTER he spent a week badgering her to give him a chance...'Michelle spat.
"You're still mad about that?..."Dash asked and Michelle scoffed.
"Younger guys...all the decent ones are taken...'Michelle muttered before walking away, ignoring Dash as he tried to get her attention again.
Back to Team Phantom
"I still can't believe that you got invited to a SENIOR party! This is so cool...'Tucker said, both amazed and somewhat envious of Danny's recent popularity with the opposite gender.
Danny was still surprised by the whole thing
He just didn't understand it. Ever since it was discovered that he got 28 girls who wanted him as a second date, some kids, girls particularly, were treating him differently. With the exception of the A-listers, obviously.
Some things never change in High School...unfortunately.
Still things were different now. Not only did he have the most beautiful and amazing girl ever as his girlfriend but he somehow got 27 other girls who had wanted him for a second date and might of have been more had Kara not proven to be so amazing. Also, Sam revealed that she had wanted to be with him but is now accepting that Kara is #1 in his heart, Valerie, while just friends now had been very close to being something very special to him and if he were to believe rumors, some shy girl named Page might have had a crush on him last year, though he doubted that. Though it was more believable than that rumor that Star secretly had a thing for him and only pretended to insult him to hide her feelings, which he laughed off as crazy high school gossip gone wild.
Heck, even if he and Star somehow got stranded and were the only two people on a deserted island, he doubted that the pretty but loud mouth blonde would act any differently around him.
There is only one blonde girl for him and she is in Metropolis right now and she is without a doubt, the best thing that has ever happened to him.
Still, he had a hot girlfriend now and Dash and the A-Listers can't be mean to him or his friends without the teachers giving them what they deserve and the other students were treating him different. He even just got invited to a SENIOR party by one of the hottest girls at school.
"I'm probably more popular than Dash at this point... if this was before Summer, I would be ecstatic about it..." He thought, indifferently.
Right now, he wasn't caring about the party or how the other students, girls mostly, were treating him different just because he made a good impression on a few other girls...
He has bigger worries in the form of the world's oldest, ugliest and craziest halfa!
"I might not go though, Kara and I are probably gonna be busy..'Danny said.
"You sure? As weird as it is for me to say, maybe you and Kara should go. To get your mind off recent stuff..."She said but Danny shook his head.
"Sam, with what's happening with Vlad, I can't think about parties..."Danny said.
"I am just really worried about Kara.."He said.
"It's a senior party, you have to go.."Tucker implored.
"I don't know... Michelle seemed nice about it at least..." Danny said, before he shook his head.
"I don't know...I am still too freaked about Vlad..."He said.
"Well then..." Tucker said with a suave tone. "Maybe I'll-"
"Take Velma?..." Sam asked, reminding him of his date.
"Uh... yeah... maybe..." Tucker said, realizing he forgot about his date.
Sam rolled her eyes and sighed.
"I think this is typical. Those shallow seniors only noticed you just because 28 girls liked you?..."Sam said, before she paused.
"Huh... 28 girls... How did that happen, anyway?..."Sam thought.
"I did want to ask about that, not out of jealousy but curiosity...What kind of service was that to get Danny 28 girls who wanted him?..." Sam asked.
"It had nothing to do with the service, Sam. I was just nice enough to get 27 potential girlfriends... Kara was just the one who made the biggest impact..." Danny explained.
Sam just noticed something.
"Wait...I thought it was 30 dates..."Sam said.
"Yeah... but two of them were child hating jerks...Vicky was one of them..."Danny said.
Sam looked disgusted by that.
"That's messed up..." She then noticed something.
"Wait... 30 minus 2 is 28. You said 27? What about the last one?..."She asked.
Both Danny and Tucker were silent about it. Sam quickly noticed how oddly quiet they were.
"It's... a long story... I'll tell you when... I'm comfortable with it..."Danny said, looking down.
As curious as she was, Sam quickly recognized Danny was uncomfortable again.
He looked almost terrified.
"I've only seen him this scared a few times... What kind of girl was that?...' She thought.
Sam looked to Tucker for some form of assurance, or at least a gauge of how bad things were.
"Let's go with the saying 'looks can be deceiving," Tucker gestured a flat-line.
Despite this, she nodded in agreement, realizing that she would get no answer today.
He'd tell her when he is ready. She is not going to push. She has learned her lesson from all of that.
Danny nodded, before he sighed.
He could count on one hand, the number of times he'd truly been terrified since getting his powers .
Fighting the Ghost King and his army...
The time when his family and friends were tied to that boiler by his evil future self...
Seriously, who makes an explosive condiment anyways?
But nothing compared to Katie Kaboom.
The girl absolutely terrified him with her mood swings and her powers, especially her uncontrollable hormones...
He faced many foes but Katie stood out and in the bad kind of way...
He was at least able to hurt Pariah Dark, Vlad and any number of his enemies or those he fought on his dates but Katie...She shrugged off his strongest attacks like it was nothing, even his ghostly wail did no good and it was his strongest attack.
She is just...unstoppable.
Heck, Danny wouldn't be surprised if she was related to the Hulk.
Danny hated feeling this way. He shook his head, wanting to change the subject.
Thankfully, a distraction came in the most predictable way.
"BEWARE! ALL OF THESE MARVELOUS BOXES SHALL BE MINE!..."A loud, hammy voice could be heard in a nearby closet.
"Hello, misplaced emotional turmoil..."Danny whispered to himself.
Later
In Metropolis
Kara had found herself needing to become Super girl when it was announced that there was a fire happening three blocks from the school. She was just happy that she managed to get everyone out of the building safely and get back to lunch before all the tater tots were gone.
She was now at her usual table, with her best friend Alex Danvers.
"So, any plans for the weekend?..."Alex asked as she ate her burrito.
"I might see Danny..."Kara said.
"So, how's everything with that goth girl, you mentioned?..."Alex asked.
"Well, like I said, she and Danny patched things up and she apologized. I just hope that this means that we can finally get along..."Kara said.
"I still can't believe you are letting a girl like that around your man, and after the way she treated you..."Alex said before taking another bite.
"Look, Sam was a jerk but she is really important to Danny and she seems to be really sorry. As long as she means it and doesn't try anything, I don't mind them being friends again. You know me, forgive and forget..."Kara said.
"Whatever you say, Kara...but if she gives you any more trouble, let me know..."Alex said.
Kara repressed the urge to giggle.
Alex knows that she is capable of lifting a jet and flying faster than a speeding bullet yet she still feels the need to protect her.
She really is the older sister that she never had.
"So...anything else happening, you have been down lately?...'Alex asked.
Kara wanted to tell her about Vlad, but she can't without mentioning Danny's secret. Sure, she trusts Alex with her life but just as Danny told Sam that one time, it's not her secret to tell.
"It's nothing to worry about..."Kara said.
She would ask Danny if he would be alright letting Alex know. And if not, she'd just have to wait until he was ready to let her know.
Alex gave Kara a look one that seemed to see right through Kara, something a girl with X-ray vision would know all about
"Kara...'Alex chided and Kara sighed.
"It's fine Alex, really..." Kara said with a smile about as fake as one painted on one of Toyman's giant robots.
The girl of steel was a lot of things but a good liar was one of the few things she isn't "super" at. In fact it was something she had in common with her boyfriend
"Note to self, get Barbara to teach you how to lie better..." Kara made a mental note to do
Alex just nodded, though she didn't believe her.
Oh, she knew that her best friend/sister was lying through her Kryptonian teeth. It's a miracle that no one's really saw through her clumsy human routine until now but Kara had to have her reasons for keeping quiet and while she didn't like it, Alex Danvers would respect her privacy and not pry.
After all, if it was something she TRULY couldn't handle, she would come to either her or her cousin.
"So, besides the goth girl, is anything else going on with Danny?..." Alex asked about her best friend's boyfriend.
Kara blushed a bright red, before looking down.
"He's great...his family likes me and his friends like me or in Sam's case, are at least warming up to me. Everything is just great...'Kara said.
Alex smiled when she heard this. She knew that this wasn't a lie.
She liked Danny and based on the Fall Formal, he was a perfect gentleman who made Kara laugh and had eyes for no one but her.
He had her approval.
"That's really good but if he ever hurts you..." Alex said, adding a threat at the end
"I'll keep that in mind..."Kara said with a playful eye roll.
Later
The school day continued to be rather uneventful, sans a visit from the Box Ghost.
The bell had rang and everyone was rushing to get out and start their weekend.
However, Sam didn't leave yet.
She went down the hallway. Danny had just left and Tucker was talking to Mr. Lancer about homework.
She was going to the bathroom. Before she could, she almost bumped into someone else going in.
Someone who did not like to see her and made her feel very guilty.
Jazz.
Already feeling like dirt for her actions, Sam turned around.
"I'll use the bathroom on the other side of school..."Sam said as she turned around
Jazz groaned as Sam walked a few feet.
"Just get in..."Jazz said as she was halfway in the doorway.
Sam, keeping her head down, did as she told.
Both girls did their usual business in the bathroom, all the while not speaking to each other.
"This is awkward..."The thought, feeling as small as a bug right now.
Sam dint say a word as Jazz went along her business, washed her hands and then walked out, saying nothing else.
Once she was gone, Sam sighed.
She said nothing as she finished washing her hands, before leaving to get her stuff from her locker. Once she got her items, she left the school, no longer having a reason to say since Danny and Tucker would be busy until patrol tonight.
The gothic girl just left for home, just happy that she once again has her two best friends again and she hoped that soon, she'll have her third best friend back too.
Meanwhile
With Danny
School was out and Danny was currently soaring through the skies, trying to unwind.
Danny loved flying.
He always has. It was his best way to unwind after a crazy.
Sure, it was pretty uneventful, sans an unwanted visit from the Box Ghost and Dash acting like a pain but other than that, nothing major happened.
That made him nervous, since he knew Vlad is planning something.
He just had a gut feeling.
"What are you up to now, Plasmius?...'Danny thought.
He knew from personal experience that even when Vlad was quiet, he was up to something. It's only a matter of time before he starts causing trouble again.
The white haired boy did some flips in the air, trying and successfully managing to calm his nerves.
He then saw a figure flying through the sky towards him. Her cape flapping in the wind, and her golden hair fluttering in the breeze too.
It's Super Girl, his partner and Kara, his girlfriend.
Kara flew over to him and Danny grinned hugging her holding her tight.
Hey..."Danny said.
Kara smiles before a quick kiss on Danny's lips.
"Hey yourself..." Kara said once Danny let her go
"So, how was your day?..."She asked.
"Better, now that you're here..."Danny said and Kara grinned,with a light blush painting her cheeks.
That earned him another kiss on the cheek.
"Seriously, anything happen? How are things with Sam?..."Kara asked.
"Well, in order: Dash is still an annoying jerk who is insisting that Tucker hacked the system to ruin his dates and everyone is treating me different just because you and a few other girls picked me for their second date, I even got invited to a senior party, you too but I am not sure about going yet...as for Sam, we are almost totally back to normal..."Danny said.
"Dash is still going on about that? And I thought Luthor was narcissistic...'Kara muttered, before she smiled. "As for the other stuff, it sounds to me that everyone is finally seeing what a great guy you are and I am glad that things are better with Sam...'Kara said, happy that at least he won't be sad about that anymore.
However, the moment was over when a troubled look came to Kara's face.
"Kara?.."Danny said.
"What is it?..."He asked, seeing her expression and getting an idea on what it is about.
"Can we talk?..."She said and Danny nodded.
They soon landed at the top of a building and after making sure that no one was around, Kara began to speak.
"So..." Kara said in a more serious tone. "I guess we now discuss the elephant in the room..."
"An old, bitter, ugly elephant by the name of Vlad Plasmius, I guess..."Danny said and Kara sighed.
"All day, I kept worrying about him. Thinking that he'll ever pop up to attack me or my family. It's even more frustrating that my cousin and the league are off world right now..."Kara said.
"Even worse, my school friends and teachers have started to notice that I am not exactly feeling "super" lately.."Kara admitted.
Danny nodded, understanding.
He was worried about Vlad too.
Whether Danny wanted to admit it or not. Vlad is strong and he never really overpowered him before.
Sure, he may have ruined his plan or threatened him with his personal weaknesses but ever since that night in Wisconsin, Danny's never beaten Vlad when he was serious and it scared him that knew about Kara.
He has already captured her and tried to overpower her once already.
"I won't let Vlad hurt you again, I promise...'Danny said.
"I know that you promise that, but I can't help but think... If he knows who I am it's only a matter of time before Clark gets caught too..." Kara was sounding more afraid with each word.
"I can't let that happen to him... I don't want that to-"She was getting hysteric now.
Danny calmly put his fingers to her lips.
"It won't. Vlad and I have this deal that now extends to you. That we keep quiet about the other when it comes to secret identities. He knows that if he mentions your identity to ANYONE, I will tell everyone his, starting with my parents...'Danny said seriously.
"But... if that happens, he would tell everyone yours... you wouldn't have a personal life anymore..."Kara said but Danny smiled.
"As long as you are in it, I don't care what happens to me..."Danny said and Kara smiled when she heard this.
"You would sacrifice your own identity for me?..." Kara asked, while being shocked and touched at the same time.
"I would. No hesitations..." Danny said with conviction. "I won't let anyone or anything hurt you..."He said, meaning it.
Kara is precious to him and even if she might be stronger than him, he still won't let anyone hurt her.
"Oh, Danny..."Kara said, feeling her heart skip a beat.
It's times like these that remind her just why she chose him as her match and how she was so lucky that he chose her out of all of the girls that he could have had.
The super hero love birds shared a kiss, their worries momentarily forgotten as they reminded themselves that they were in this together and no one could take that away from them.
Once they separate, Kara was smiling again and Danny smiled back, before getting up.
"Come on, enough about that bitter, old Fruitloop...let's go have some fun together...I know a great place where we can grab a bite, what do you say, Miss Kent?.."Danny said in a gallant voice and Kara giggled.
"It would be my pleasure, Mr. Fenton..."Kara quip.
Soon the super hero couple then flew together, holding hands as they flew side by side through the sky. They had the whole weekend to talk about Vlad and strategies.
Right now, they just wanted to be together, not as super hero partners, but two teenagers who adored the other and wanted just a few moments of normality.
Though as they kept flying together in the skies, hand in hand, they knew that this would be as close to normal as they were gonna get...and they were just fine with that.
