Danny dropped down on the Proud family's porch feeling a little nervous.
Penny would not be too happy with him after he had pushed her through the portal during the last battle with Vlad and his army.
After he was back to one hundred percent, Danny had learned everything that had happened while he'd been gone, with Tucker getting attacked by Cree Lincoln, the kid hitting a blind date who turns out was some kind of assassin.
The fact that Tucker, after getting the stuffing kicked out of him by an assassin and STILL showed up to fight Vlad, was a reminder to Danny of just how great a friend Tucker was.
The Prouds, having stayed at Fenton works the whole time and judging by all the noise downstairs, they were still here. Professor Paradox had told him what happened on the other earth.
Flash was recovering. Apparently, Vlad had siphoned the speed out of him to boost his powers even more. Danny had offered to go and help fight crime until he was back on his feet, but the Professor had assured him his speed would come back in an hour and his girlfriend that worlds Supergirl was patrolling Central City.
Ninja Danny, the version of him wearing mission clothes like Ron and Black Cat, was fine after Professor Paradox rescued them and Tucker.
On Earth 74, the war was over. People with the High breeds invasion was no longer secret, the plumbers were arrested, and the members of Ben's team who Vlad had attacked were all awake and out of the hospital.
Just in time for Etrigans funeral
Danny frowned momentarily, thinking about Etrigan disintegrating just like Henry's arm had. Maybe he could have done something to save him. If he had just been fast enough, maybe Etrigan would still be around.
"Speaking from my own experience, it's never good to dwell on what ifs," Professor Paradox had told him, "it rarely ends well."
Danny just nodded
Professor Paradox smiled "enough dwelling on the past focus on the here and now"
Professor Paradox said his goodbyes and then disappeared, and Danny headed downstairs. He saw Suga Mama sleeping on the couch with Puff in her lap. The tv was on playing the news in the kitchen. He saw his mom and Mrs. Proud feeding Bebe and Cece, sitting in high chairs while his dads were drinking coffee and talking about something.
"You use my snacks for what," Mr. Proud asked.
"Pest control is better than any bait on the market and cheaper than extermination. The bugs eat the snack and drop dead. I'll tell ya, Oscar, you make a lousy snack but a great pesticide."
Mr. Proud seemed to be thinking about that, but before he could say anything, Bebe and Cece noticed him. "Danny, Danny," they said, waving and laughing at him.
Danny waved back, smiling at his girlfriend's twin siblings.
"Danny," his parents and his girlfriend's parents happily exclaimed before Danny knew what had happened. His parents hugged him tight "we were so worried about you, young man," his mom said
"Worried and proud," his dad added, "but seriously, don't travel to parts unknown in the multiverse without telling us first."
"Mom, dad, I can't breathe Danny choked out his parents as his parents finally let him go.
Mr. and Mrs. proud walked over to him. "Danny, thank you very much for what you did," Mrs. Proud said, elbowing her husband, who may or may not still be thinking about that pesticide idea his dad had given him 'i really doubt that's going to sell any better than the snacks'
"Yeah, Danny, thank you for saving our daughter" Mr. Proud was quick to add "speaking of"
Danny looked behind him to see Penny was behind him and she looked ticked. "Penny, look I-"
"You pushed me through a portal," she interrupted.
"I know. I was worried you would get hurt after you left. So many things happened; buildings were destroyed, Henry had his arm cut off, and Etrigan got vaporized."
"I know that. Do you think I wasn't worried about you when Sam and Buzz carried you unconsciously to your bed? The only reason I was by your side all night."
"It's true she was," his dad chimed "only reason she wasn't there when you woke up was cause we put her one of in the guest room."
Penny got closer into his space "look, Danny, I knew what I was signing up for when I started dating a superhero, and so do Mina and Alex," she said, not knowing that they were also superheroes.
Well, a superhero and a spy.
Danny wasn't going to say anything. Either way, it wasn't his business.
"So please promise you won't go pushing me away to try and keep me safe."
Danny was silent for a second before he nodded. "I'll always keep you safe, but I promise I won't push you through a portal again."
Penny rolled her eyes "that's probably the best I'm going to get, isn't it."
Before Danny could answer, Penny grabbed him by the collar pulling him in for a kiss. Danny quickly returned it wrapping his arms around her waist while she put hers around his shoulders, pulling him in close.
Meanwhile
Deadpool was dragging Vlad to the basement.
"It's time to send Vlad to the Shadow Realm," Deadpool held the Millennium Rod.
The merc with the mouth pointed the rod at Vlad, and darkness swallowed him.
"We will never see that Fruitloop ever again ," as screams and agony could be heard from the previous Halfa.
