Danny groans as Chalire helps him out of the carriage. He hasn't fully healed and her parents couldn't wait any longer. Luckily, they gave him enough time to recover enough so he could move. Sadly, Danny still needed help and Charlie wanted him to remain out of his ghost form for a while longer. The guards notice them and let them in.
"So, this is your home?" Danny asked.
"Yeah. I have some memories of this place. Good and bad." Chalire said, carrying him.
Danny was still wrapped in bandages, his eye still covered. He was told that it was going to leave a scar over it since his powers weren't as strong in hell. It didn't take long before Chalire and Danny finally reached Luifcer and Lilth. The Devil himself looked at Danny, knowing he was still healing, and decided to wait until he was fully healed before making any plans. Lilith, on the other hand, frowns and looks worried. Both of them heard Danny's interview and Lucifer would not put it past the angels in heaven to find a way to make that day longer.
"I brought him, as you asked. But please, be careful. He's not fully healed." Charlie said, making sure Danny could stand on his feet.
"Danny Phantom. It nice to see you at last." Lucifer said.
"You must be Lucifer, the king of hell," Danny said.
"Indeed, and this is my wife, Lilith." He said.
Lilith then stood up and walked down to Danny. Danny was surprised to see how beautiful Charlie's mother was. He was then shocked to feel her hug him! Even Charlie was shocked.
"I have waited a long time for this. We know of your feats." Lilith said.
"Yes, feats that even I respect," Luficer said.
"We are also looking in on how you came here. As far as we know, it was one of the humans that sent you here. We don't which one sadly." Lilith said.
Danny was surprised to learn that both rulers of hell were looking into how he got here. But there had to be a catch.
"And what do you want in return?" Danny asked.
Both rulers looked at him, a bit surprised by that.
"I may be a C student, but I'm not stupid. You must want something from me." Danny told them.
Lilith sighs before facing her husband. Lucifer stood up and walked up to Danny. He soon reached him and smiled.
"Easy, I want you to be Hell's Defender on Judgment Day." He said.
"WHAT?!" Danny asked as Charlie looked shocked.
"Dad? Are you sure? I mean, he's a hero, right? I thought you hated those." She asked.
"I do. But I can not bring myself to hate this one. After all, he defended the Ghost King and many other ghosts that could cause trouble in Hell. And he making sure those one-eye freaks do their jobs." He said.
Danny knew who he was talking about. He then turned to Lilith, wondering what she wanted.
"I wish to make you my child. Your parents have neglected you for a long time. And your fear about them thinking a ghost has taken you over is true. If you let them keep the memory, they would still be on your side." Lilith said.
"But..." Danny wanted to say.
Did he really set it to the fact that his parents would always think he was controlled by a ghost? Even after what they said to him before he wiped their memories. Lilith could sense his sadness and worry before hugging him again.
"We know you meant well, feeling it wasn't time for your parents to know. We also know that you would have no idea this would happen. My husband and I wanted to take you away, but we decided to watch you from afar." She said.
"And don't think we're not aware of what those two did. I'll deal with them later. Right now, we both want you to heal. We can talk more about this once you're ready." Lucifer said.
Danny was still unsure as Lilith let go of him. She then kisses his forehead, much like a mother would do.
"Charlie, can we trust you to make sure he fully recovers?" Lucifer asked his daughter.
"Of course. We're making sure he's getting a full recovery." Charlie said.
However, hearing that her parents wanted to use him felt off with her. However, she did understand what they were like. This was hell after all. She walked up to Danny, who was still lost in thought.
"Danny?" She said, taking his arm.
"Yeah..." Danny said, letting her place his arm around her shoulders.
"One more thing, Daniel," Lucifer said, still smiling.
"The other rings will be wanting to see you. One of the rulers is named Satan. We are two different people. Please don't get us mixed up." He said.
Danny nods, still trying to wrap his mind around what he was told. After he and Charlie left, Lilith sighed.
"Do you think we're too hard with him?" She asked, her husband.
"I much as it hurt, he had to know the truth. He had good intentions, but it worked against him. He should have let them keep the memory." Lucifer said.
"I still don't like how his parents think that all ghosts are evil," Lilith said.
"Agreed, my dear. I've seen enough good and evil to know which is true and which is not. Saying that all of them are evil is like saying all humans are evil." Lucifer said, frowning.
A lot of people forget that Lucifer was once an angel and he was by god side for a long time. Yes, he never liked humans, but he never thought all of them were evil. Hearing out Danny's parents were doing the same, made him disappointed.
"Do you really want him as our son?" Lucifer asked, knowing his wife wanted another child.
"Yes. Charlie is taking good care of him. I can see that they could be great together. Not that's there anything word with Veggie. It's just I wish Charlie could give another boy a chance." She said.
Lucifer thought about it. Having a grandchild with ghost powers could be interesting. But from what he saw, his daughter has respect for him, but not love. And Daniel's heart is in a state of confusion. There were two girls he was trying to decide, and he was lost on which to pick.
"Well, all we can do is wait until he recovers," Lucifer said.
Lilith nods. She saw how hurt he looked and she wanted nothing more than to be the mother he needed.
The trip back to the hotel was quiet. Charlie knew Danny was still thinking over everything her parents told him. She knew that her parents had plans for him, but making him a defender of hell and her ADOPTED brother? She knew Danny was not fully used to hell, and learning those things might not sit right with him.
"Danny?" She said, reaching for his hand.
Danny looks up as Charlie gives him a soft look.
"Don't overthink it. Remember, this hell. My parents are like that. I'm surprised to learn about those too." She said.
"I'm just trying to accept what your mother said about my parents. Did I really cause one of my greatest fears to come true?" Danny asked, looking hurt.
"I can't say for sure. But they did understand why you did it. Even if it was true, just know that my hotel is open for you." Charlie said, knowing it was the safest place in hell.
Danny nods. Knowing Charlie was looking out for him. He had a feeling that if he was taken in by her family, she would be a great sister. Not that Jazz was a bad one, he felt that both she and Charlie could get along.
"I miss my family," Danny said as Charlie moved next to him.
"Hey, we'll find a way to get you home." She said, hugging him.
Danny smiles. At least he'd have friends down here.
And the meeting with Charlie's parents. So, you all heard what they want Danny for, but that brings the question of when will that happen. Since I still have some ways to go, that won't be answered yet. And I'm not sure what to write next. Any ideas?
And if anyone is waiting for my other Danny Phantom/Hazbin Hotel crossover, I haven't started on it yet. For those who might have forgotten, it's supposed to cover how Danny's life would be if he was taken in by the Morningstar Family after he was taken from his home by a pair of demons as a baby.
