Does it look like I own Danny Phantom? Exactly.
I love the topic for this one-shot, it makes me think of Supernatural, which is tomorrow. Yay!
So on with this show!
I think this is Post-PP, I dunno you decide.
Small eyelids closed as the baby boy started going to sleep, the moon shone through the window onto the floor, casting an eerie glow. Small music played from a box on a cabinet, a lullaby to help the baby sleep through the night.
All of a sudden there was silence.
Nothing was moving, not even the cars out on the street, not even the baby's chest was moving.
The clock didn't blink like it was supposed to; it merely read 9:02.
A blue circle appeared in the middle of the room, casting a blue glow on everything. Slowly, an old man emerged, wearing a purple cloak and carrying a staff that had a small clock right at the top. It looked around the room, its red eyes showing old knowledge.
From its form as an old man, it changed into a child.
The floating now child slowly floated over to the crib and pulled something from behind it's back.
It was a medallion with the words CW on it.
The floating child (now changed to a young man) placed the medallion around the baby's neck with gentle hands. Immediately as it settled on the baby's chest, the baby started breathing. The figure smiled, lightly touching the baby's cheek.
The baby shuddered at the cold touch, but he did not wake.
"Hello Daniel Fenton." The blue skinned old man whispered.
The baby stirred a bit.
"You have no idea who I am, and you may never know….at least in 14 years you'll know."
The baby's eyes opened slowly, his crystal blue eyes staring up wonderingly into red ones. The red eyed child smiled and murmured "If you want to know, I am Clockwork."
Daniel's eyebrow furrowed a bit, as if concentrating on the name. Then, he opened his mouth and said "'Work."
Clockwork smiled slightly, barely visible. "That is fine as well." He said with a small little sigh. Daniel merely blinked up at him and Clockwork wondered why this baby small child hadn't started crying yet. Then, he remembered what he was here for.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, he turned his gaze back to the baby, who was grabbing at the Time Medallion and staring at it in awe.
"You are a very special child." Clockwork began, letting out a small breath. "Your destiny was made once you were born into this world, and I was the one to witness that destiny being created. You cannot turn away from it, you cannot not escape it."
The baby had let go of the Medallion and stared up at Clockwork, looking as if he understood the words.
"There will be many obstacles, something trying to stop you along the way, but you must know now, even though you will not remember when you are 14, that I'm the one watching over you, keeping you safe." Clockwork paused "I suppose the term 'guardian angel' would be appropriate, but since I'm the Master of Time….."
Daniel giggled slightly and said "A'gel."
Clockwork smiled once again and ran a few fingers through the baby's hair. "You may or may not understand me, for I cannot understand that little head of yours, but once you accept your destiny you must remember…"
He bent down over the crib so he the baby could hear his whisper "I'll be watching over you."
He turned away and pushed a button on his staff. A blue portal appeared and pulsed slightly, waiting for it's creator to enter. Clockwork looked back at the child, who was standing up and staring at him, chewing lightly on the Medallion.
"Goodbye Daniel…." He murmured as he stepped through the portal and disappeared.
The baby, known as Daniel, blinked and said slowly "Bye, 'Work."
His eyes started drooping as he let out a small yawn. As he lay down in his crib, the noises of the outside world picked up again, the music started playing from the box once more to soothe the baby into having good dreams.
The clock blinked 9:03.
14 years later
"Mom, why am I the one to clean up the attic?" Daniel (or Danny) complained as he sat down at the kitchen table.
"Because, you haven't done any of your chores this week so this is what your punishment is for the weekend." Replied his mother, narrowing her eyes at him as if to challenge him. When she didn't hear another complaint from her son she smiled brightly and turned away.
Danny sighed and got off his seat to walk upstairs.
Once he was in the dark attic he concentrated for a bit, feeling the familiar warmth going down his arm and creating a small ball of green light about his hand. With more concentration, he left it floating in the air as he looked around.
He glanced down at the box next to him labeled in bold 'Baby Danny'.
With only one look, he knew his dad had named the box. Danny let out a sigh and sank to his knees as he opened up the box. He pulled out book after book, glancing in them to see baby pictures of himself, and stopped at one item and sparkled as if it hadn't been in the box for 14 years.
His brow furrowed as he said "Why would Clockwork's Time Medallion be here?"
His hand grasped the Medallion and slowly stood up and walked downstairs (after making the ball of light disappear.)
"Hey mom, where did you find this?"
His mother turned to look at the object in his hand. She smiled softly at it and stared into his eyes. "You had that in your hands one morning you woke up. You wouldn't let go of it for weeks, it was always in your hands or around your neck."
She turned away from him again and said "You can still wear it you know, I don't know what you like to wear these days but I'm sure you would want to wear it….or give it to Sam."
Danny blushed slightly as he turned and went back up the stairs. Once he entered the attic once again he channeled the energy to his hand again to make a ball of light. Once the ecto-energy brushed lightly against the Medallion a memory flooded into his mind.
When the memory ended he let out a slow breath and his lips curled up into a small smile.
"So Clockwork was my 'guardian angel' huh?" he whispered in the dark. He put the Medallion around his neck and smiled again. "That's fine with me."
And somewhere in the Ghost Zone, the Master of Time smiled.
God, that ending left a bad kinda fluffy taste in my mouth.
*gags* I think this one-shot was bad.
YES, SUPERNATURAL TODAY!
