Chapter 5: Me and You…?
(Ten years in the future)
He tried not to cry, he tried so hard, but the tears slowly slid down his face as he looked around his bleak surroundings.
The once proud town was nothing but scattered ruins now, and the once proud town hero was nothing but a broken man waiting for the final death blow.
"You were much more challenging when you were younger." Dan stated sourly and looked down at his alter self who was crying for his lost town and friends who like the town was nothing more than pieces now.
"You should have become evil, none of this would have happened then." It surprised the evil ghost somewhat that he got little satisfaction out of making the hero cry, it was too easy actually. He had already destroyed most of the town before Danny and his remaining friends came out of hiding to fight him.
'And they weren't much of a challenge' He thought with a frown only to smirk as he raised his glowing fist
Maybe a trip back in time was in order?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
(Normal time)
"Well, what did you mean?" Vlad asked again looking at each fidgeting teen in the eyes with his glowing red ones
"Vlad." Danny said meekly and climbed off his bed and took a small step towards the man. He had no idea what to say or what to do besides keep the older halfa from getting angry. But how he was to accomplish that the hero didn't know.
Not even Sam and Tucker knew what to do or say when Danny gave them a pleading look for help.
The teenager was caught off guard when a strong hand grabbed the collar of his shirt and lifted him off the ground and inches away from a blue skinned face.
"Tell me what you meant and not some half truth like I am beginning to think you have been telling me all along." Vlad would like to say he knew the younger male well, due to it being vital to know the enemy, and he would also like to say he knew when the halfa wasn't telling him everything like he assumed Danny was doing and had been doing.
How he could let himself be so distracted not to notice the subtle hints the boy gave off when he told him about Vladdy disgusted himself, he should have been better than that.
"Daddy, what are you doing?" Vladdy asked after waking up from the commotion, the five year old blinked and stared at the two halfa's, completely ignoring Tucker and Sam.
"Getting answers Vladdy." Was all the middle aged man said before turning his attention back to Danny "Now, tell me everything you know!"
Blue eyes looked away, Danny didn't know what to do, sure he could phase out of the man's grasp but where would that get him? If anything that would start a violent chase which wasn't a good idea while under the Fenton roof. He could use Vlad's help, but he also really didn't want that ether, that meant giving awkward answers as well.
"I'm going to tell." The five year old stated and looked at his future parents who, like the humans, turned and looked at him in surprise.
"He's my mommy." A small finger was pointed at the teen that became bright red with shock and embarrassment, followed by a small grunt of pain when he was dropped on the floor.
"Vladdy," The rich man said calmly, a little to calmly "Danny cannot be your mother, he is a boy and your brother."
The five year old shook his head, and the teens were to speechless to say anything about what was unfolding.
"No, mommy lied. He is my mother, and you are my daddy." And as if to prove to the trembling older man that he was telling the truth Vladdy told him how it was possible "You said that Desiree made it so mommy can have babies."
A look of pure hatred mixed with some embarrassment was sent at Danny and his friends who all moved back away from the man.
"I-I thought Maddie and I…" He trailed off for a moment before starting again "You and I, that is ridiculous and impossible!"
"It's true though." Tucker said without thought only to cover his mouth a moment later.
"I will test this, and if I find out you were lying." A look that promised pain and punishment was sent to the three friends before the older man grabbed Vladdy who cried out in protest and phased through the bedroom floor and most likely to the basement were the portal was located.
"Danny are you ok?" Sam asked after a moment of silence, she became concerned when the teen didn't reply.
"I guess I have to tell him everything now." Blue eyes looked over at his friends who stared at him with confusion "If I don't he'll come after me for answers."
The couple nodded in understanding before helping the teen up and to his feet
"I should get going now, if I know Vlad the first thing he is going to do once he gets to his castle is a paternity test."
"We'll come too." Tucker stated only to frown when Danny shook his head.
"Not this time ether." Before the teens could argue Danny phased through the floor and to his parents work shop. What was going to happen between him and Vlad should stay between him and Vlad.
Sure he loved his friends and how they wanted to be there with him, but he really thought that this was something he should handle on his own.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Every ghost in the Master's castle had disappeared after hearing Vlad's yell of rage after reading the test results.
"This cant be!" The halfa reread the results that showed Maddie as a negative for being Vladdy's mother. This had to be one of the most embarrassing moments of his life, not only was he proven to be a gullible fool but an old pervert at the same time.
Only a pervert would ever sleep with a child, which was what Danny was no matter how much time passed before his future self actually slept with the boy. He didn't need to test Danny's DNA to prove that Vladdy was Danny's child, if Maddie wasn't the boy's mother then Danny surely was.
How his future self could ever fall for the brat was beyond him, let alone sleep with Danny. Sure the boy had lots of good qualities and would make a great parent and husband one day, but not Vlad's!
"Daddy." Vladdy cried and shrunk back in the leather when his future father sent him a silencing look. The evil ghost ignored the pang of guilt that washed over him for making his son cry, but he needed silence to think.
At the sound of a new voice in his lab, the middle aged man knew he wasn't going to get it soon.
"Vladdy, go to your room." Danny said calmly and gave the child the warmest smile he could muster after seeing the turmoil that Vlad was going through.
The five year old listened and flew off towards his bedroom, only giving a small glance at his future parents.
The 16 year old hesitated before opening his mouth to speak to the man who was glaring hatefully at him.
"I will tell you everything."
"You don't have much of a choice." The billionaire snapped "You should have told me everything in the beginning, instead I now look like a fool!"
"I'm sorry." Danny mumbled and looked down at the ground, he couldn't think of anything else to say besides that.
"I don't care if your sorry or not just tell me how this happened," Vlad made a hand jester to where Vladdy flew off "and what happens in our future."
The teen sighed before beginning his story, first telling Vlad he didn't know how they became an item before telling about Dan and the first battle that occurred between him and the evil ghost, then what his future self had told him what seemed many nights ago.
"Dan escaped and killed you and everyone but me and Vladdy. My future self thought it would be safer for Vladdy to stay in the past until he could take care of Dan."
Blue eyes watched the older halfa who was sitting in the leather chair Vladdy had once been in. The teen was hoping for some reaction or expression on his arch nemesis face, but to his disappointment found none.
"So what do we do now?" The older male asked after a nearly ten minutes of silence, the teen felt the question was odd since it was a middle aged man asking a teenager what they should be doing. Shouldn't it have been the other way around?
"I don't know." The teen said slowly "Its possible for Vladdy to exist outside of time like Dan so we don't have to…well you know…"
"What about Clockwork, should I pay him a visit?" Vlad suggested and pushed the leather chair out of the way to reveal an expensive looking computer that Danny could only dream about having one day.
"I already told you I went and saw Clockwork; he refuses to talk about it. I don't know why though."
Vlad let out an irritated sigh before turning away from his computer, that wasn't what he wanted to hear.
"There is not much we can do but hope for the best then I suppose." The older halfa stated not looking at the younger male, comfortable to turn his attention to the picture on the wall of him and Maddie, a love that would never be.
"Yeah I guess…" Danny scratched the back of his head not sure what to do or say, he might have been clueless sometimes but it was obvious even to him that this was very hard on Vlad.
"Do you still want to take care of Vladdy?" Dark blue eyes looked over at the teen.
"He still is my son." The 16 year old nodded and became ghost again.
"I am going to go then, I'll make sure to talk with Vladdy before I go." The teenager didn't know how, but it almost felt as if the two of them had a mutual agreement. He doubted he and Vlad would ever be the same again, but now he wasn't sure what he and Vlad were.
They weren't enemies, they weren't allies. So what were they?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evil laugher above went unheard by the people who were minding there own business. Not that Dan cared if he was heard or seen at the moment, soon everyone in this time would be screaming in terror at his very name.
But that would come after he had fun with Danny…
