Characters: Lancer, Danny, and Vlad
Prompt: Lancer
Day Twenty-Six
Lancer frowned while he was in the middle of grading papers when he heard a crash out in the hall. With a sigh, he set down his pen then stood from his desk. Ghost attacks weren't an uncommon occurrence for their town. In fact, it almost seemed like every day there was a new ghost threatening the safety of the people who lived there.
After grabbing something from the bottom drawer of his desk, Lancer stepped out into the hall. He wasn't surprised to spot the white haired ghost teen that fought to protect their town, even at the risk of being captured by the local ghost hunters. His mouth pulled into a deeper frown as he thought about them and their relationship to the ghost hero.
The fight had gone on for long enough, the two ghosts slinging ecto blasts at each other and dodging the other's attacks. The teen was still clumsy in his moves, but he was growing stronger with each fight. Lancer activated the item in his hand, and with both ghosts distracted with each other, neither of them saw it coming. The metal arms of the device flew out and ensnared the two ghosts, slamming them back to back as the cords tightened around them effectively trapping them.
"L-Lancer!" the teen ghost gasped out in surprise when he saw the teacher standing over them with his hands on his hips. The other ghost frowned at him with annoyance flashing in his red eyes.
"I've sat back and watched this fight continue for far too long." Lancer narrowed his eyes down at them. "You're interrupting my time to work on grading papers. You've destroyed parts of the school many times over. Do you even stop to realize that the school has limited funds and we can't constantly shell out the cash needed to repair things every time you two bring your fight here?"
"I could-"
"I don't want to hear it from you, Vlad," Lancer snapped before the older ghost could finish speaking. "You have money that you can just toss around like pocket change, and that's great. But I don't want to have my school relying on you for funding, even if you are responsible in part for the destruction of school property."
"Wait!" shouted the ghost teen, his brow pinching in confusion. "You know Vlad?"
"Of course I do, Daniel." Lancer stared blandly as the shock flashed across his student's face before the horror of being discovered by his teacher sank in. "Yes, I know about you too. Honestly!" He huffed in exaggeration. "You two have to be the worst at keeping your identities secret. I'm surprised more people haven't figured it out. And really, Daniel, how do you expect people not to figure it out when you run around with your friends as Phantom? Did you think no one could put that together?"
"Um," Daniel mumbled as he shrank down in sheepish embarrassment.
"Now," Lancer said, his green eyes glowering at the pair of half ghosts. "I don't know what has the two of you bickering like a pair of five year olds, but I want this to stop. You," he pointed at Vlad, "are a grown man. You should know better than to resort to such childish antics. And we have that game tomorrow that I'd rather you didn't miss out on it because I had to hand you over to the Guys in White, or perhaps worse, the Fentons."
"Game?" Daniel whispered, clearly baffled as he glanced over his shoulder at the older half ghost.
"We've been video game buddies for years," Vlad admitted, though at that moment he didn't look too thrilled about that fact.
"And you, Daniel," Lancer turned his attention onto the young teenager, "have a lot of homework that you should be dedicating your time to finishing. I appreciate that you risk your life to play hero and save the town from ghost attacks," he frowned severely at the pair, "though lately it seems to be mostly the two of you going at it at all hours of the day. But your school work is also very important. I'll be more than happy to help you with any of your homework. But this childishness between you two has got to stop. Are you two going to work things out like civilized adults or should I keep you tied up like this for a few hours?" He folded his arms, tapping his foot impatiently on the floor as he waited for an answer.
"We'll work things out," the two men grumbled like scolded children, both with their heads bowed. Lancer smirked as he retracted that Jack-o-nine-tails, glad he thought to confiscate off Daniel's older sister earlier in the year.
firelily18: Why thank you! =) I do have a story idea with everyone being genderbent sitting on my to do list. XD;; But the plan on that one was Dash x Danny. I could maybe try a genderbent Vlad x Danny at some point? Or did you want that as only Danny is genderbent? XD;;;
maltese: Danni is too adorbs sometimes. D8 Haha, Jay is oblivious to things concerning himself. XD;;;
Just Will: Yes. Jay will be very unhappy if Hunter does anything to hurt his sister. Thanks. =)
