Later that day…
After Vlad called Danny's best friends, he and Danny worked on the portal which was working but yet riddled with glitches. Vlad scratched his goatee and thought about what else needs to be done.
"I guess it should work now…is the probe ready Daniel?" Vlad asked
Danny pats it and gives the thumbs up.
"Good good, activating portal…" said Vlad as he taps the panel in front of him.
The portal starts to glow inside then a swirl of ghost looking wisps fly around then a gateway is opened…the portal looks somewhat like the star gate from Star Gate SG1but smaller.
"Ok Daniel push 'er in" Vlad said.
Danny obeyed and pushed the probe into the portal, it vanishes within the water like gateway. The monitor starts beeping as the probe scans the area…a moment later an image shows up on the screen, it shows the Ghost zone and its many doors.
"Great! Its working!" triumphed Vlad.
Danny smiled weakly and crossed his arms as he watched the screen.
"This calls for a Victory dinner tonight!" said Vlad as he puts his hands together.
"whoohoo.." said Danny weakly.
Vlad cocked his head and walked over to the troubled teen.
"I'll take us somewhere nice and relaxing…so we can forget our worries and problems…how that sound?" said Vlad as he put his hand on Danny's shoulder.
Danny's face brightened with Vlad's words "nice" and "Relaxing", Danny gave Vlad a hug in thanks. Vlad smiled and wrapped his arms around the boy gently aware of the gashes and bruises.
That evening
"Hurry up Daniel!" Vlad called out from the bottom of the stairs
Danny quickly slipped his shirt on and ran out of his and Vlad's room and down the stairs.(They share a room so Vlad can keep Danny company at night cause Danny doesn't sleep right)
"I'm ready now" said Danny who was in his best casual clothes.
Vlad smiles and heads towards the door with Danny trailing behind him, once out side Danny looked up at the stars, he hasn't seen them in a month since he was cooped up in the mansion. Vlad's black limo was waiting outside the door.
"Come on Daniel they are expecting us" Vlad said as he got into the limo
Danny took his attention away from the stars then ran over to the limo and slipped in, the Chauffeur closes the door after Danny then gets in the drivers side then drives off towards town.
"Wow, this is a nice limo Vlad…I never been in one before..." said Danny admiring the limos beauty and space.
It had a onboard mini bar, a small LCD TV mounted in the top left corner, the seats were leather with inbuilt seat warmers.
Vlad smiled "There's always time for first's dear boy" Vlad said as a hint of red filled his cheeks…luckily it was dark and Danny was too occupied with examining the luxury car.
Once they reached the restaurant, Bevan the chauffeur got out and opened the door for Vlad and Danny.
"Thank you Bevan, take the limo away we will see you in a couple of hours" Vlad said as he and Danny walked into the restaurant. Danny's mouth dropped open as he saw a man on a piano playing soft tunes, a man approached them.
"Ahh its ze Vlad masters…zis way sir" he said in a French tone as he led Vlad and Danny to a 2 seater table near the piano.
It was a quiet evening, Danny enjoyed his first rich mans dinner with Vlad who didn't eat much, Vlad was surprised with how much the teen ate, he ate a good 3 plates of food and 2 deserts.
"Hungry Daniel?" Vlad asked smirking
Danny nodded as he ate a banana split; he swallowed and placed the bowl down.
"Well I haven't been eating well for the past month…" Danny said as he wiped his mouth on a napkin.
Vlad laughed "You finished?" he asked.
Danny nodded then took a final drink of his soda. Vlad smirked then stood up and paid for the meals, Danny followed him out as they walked to the limo which arrived just as they walked out. Once on the road, Danny started looking out the windows again, the silence was intense to Vlad.
"Daniel how are those injuries of yours?" asked Vlad as the silence was broken
Danny turned around to Vlad, "Still a little sore but I think they are getting better"
"Give me a look" said Vlad
Danny pulled his shirt up far enough for Vlad to see, Vlad examined the injuries for a few minutes.
"They are getting there" said Vlad as he pulled Danny's shirt back down then pulled the teen into his lap.
Danny was surprised and almost jumped out of Vlad's arms in protest, but he didn't. The trip back to the mansion was quiet; Vlad merely rested his chin on the teens shoulder and held him close. Once they got back to the mansion, Danny got off Vlad's lap and out of the limo; Vlad followed the teen up the stairs. Once inside Danny was heading to their bedroom to get ready for bed as it was late, Vlad went up as well and slipped into his usual silken black boxers and climbed into bed then went to sleep.
Through the night Danny tossed and turned, he couldn't sleep; a few times he kicked Vlad good in the back and almost made him fall out of the bed. All of a sudden a rather strong arm strapped over Danny.
"Daniel sleep still or else…" threatened Plasmius.
Danny obeyed then laughed to him self as Plasmius turned back to Vlad.
The Next Morning….
Danny was the first one to wake he was up and ready; he sat on Vlad like an excited child at Christmas.
"Wake up Vlad! Sam and Tuck will be here soon!!" Danny said bouncing a little
Vlad smirked as he enjoyed the teen bouncing on him, Danny got a rude shock that made him jump something jabbed him in the leg.
"OHH GROSE VLAD!!" Danny yelled as he jumped off the bed.
Vlad bursts into a nerviest fit of laughter. Vlad sat up and threw the blankets off; he went off to the shower and took one. Once he came back out a good half hour later, he went down stairs were he found Danny raiding the cupboards.
"Daniel we are getting breakfast when we get back…"said Vlad with his arms crossed.
Danny pulled out of the cupboards and went over to Vlad and eyed him for a second.
"We better get going then" Vlad said as he walked out.
Danny shrugged and followed the older halfa.
At the airport…
Danny and Vlad were waiting against the limo as Sam and Tucker walked out of the terminal.
"GUYS!!!" Danny yells in excitement as he jogged over and wrapped his arms around them both.
"Hey Danny" they said together as they formed a group hug.
"Ouch Tuck! Watch my back!" Danny snapped then laughed
"Sorry dude…how is your back anyway?" tucker asked
Danny shrugged "Its getting there I suppose heh"
Vlad smirked and watched the teens "Ok you guys lets go, I'm sure Daniel has a story or 2 about his new life that he can tell you on the way" he said as he slipped back into the limo
Danny led his friends into the limo, the trip back to the mansion was exciting for Danny since he hasn't seen his friends in a month, once back at the mansion, Danny and his friends raced out. Vlad didn't like the idea of three over active teens in his house for a week or more, Bevan got the bags out of the trunk and took them inside. Vlad turned into Plasmius and went intangible back to his lab.
"Hey guys wanna play the play station 3?" Danny asked.
"You have a PS3?! That's awesome!" Tucker said in excitement
"Yeah its in the living room come on!" Danny said as he grabbed Sam's forearm and ran towards the living room with Tucker tagging close by.
The trio dove onto the lounge and started rummaging in the CD case that was on the side table.
"Let's play half life 2 the orange box!" said Sam in excitement
The two boys agreed, Danny grabbed the CD and inserted it in. They spent the next 4hours in front of Vlad's massive 201cm LCD plasma TV. Vlad came in to see the teens glued to the lounge playing the PS3; he walked over to Danny and placed his hands on the teen's shoulders.
Danny jumped and yelped then looked up "Ohh it's just you Vlad" he said as he turned his attention back to the game.
Vlad took a deep breath then sighed "Daniel I need to see you….alone"
Danny looked at his friends, they looked back… "I won't be long guys..." Danny said as he got up
Danny raised his eye brows then stood up and followed Vlad out; Vlad closed the door behind them.
"Daniel I don't want to make this too sudden…But…I love you...more then a son…a lover if you will" Vlad said as he blushed a little
Danny's mouth dropped open in surprise "But…you're almost old enough to be my father…" he said trying to find his words.
Vlad moved closer to Danny then planted a kiss on the teens soft lips then pulled away.
"I know Daniel…I can't fight my feelings now can I" Vlad said "Think about what I said…if you need anything ill be in the lab" Vlad said winking then he disappeared down the hall way.
Danny stood there stunned and with his pointer finger and forefinger to his lips…then went back into the living room with his friends.
"What was that about?" Sam asked
"Ohh, he was…Just…nothing…Nothing…Its all good" Danny smiled as he watched Sam and Tucker fight each other on Half life 2 death match.
See i told ya there was a shock horror ;o...
