Danny had to explain that his enemy Vlad Plamuius kidnapped them for some reason to mess with him. While some of the girls who knew Danny's secret identity understood while the others didn't. Danny sighed and transformed back into his human form.
"Danny?!" most of the girls said in surprise.
"Hey," Danny said nervously. "It's been a while since I've seen most of you guys."
"YOU'RE A SUPERHERO" Angelica shouted, surprised.
"Yes, we are incredibly surprised by this revelation," Starfire said, not used to lying.
Minako leaned over to Makoto "is it just because I'm bad at English, or is she a bad liar" she asked quietly, not wanting to offend a fellow superhero.
"She's a bad liar," Makoto answered back.
Most of the girls who didn't know that Danny was Danny Phantom were surprised that he was a superhero of Amity Park, while the girls who knew Danny's secret identity pretended to be shocked about it.
Some, unlike an orange alien girl from Tamaran, were doing better than others.
"I didn't tell anyone that I was Danny Phantom because I thought people would view me as a freak or something," Danny said. "It's nothing against you, ladies. You all were amazing on our dates. It's just-" Danny looked to his parents for a second, "this what I can do, what I am. It's one of my biggest secrets."
"I don't think you're a freak, Danny," Alex was the first one to speak up.
"Yeah, me and my friend like you as a superhero," Jen said.
"My cousin Dil is probably your biggest fan," Angelica said, smiling, eying Danny up and down "now that I've met you, I can see why."
"Hey, get your own boo," Penny said, wrapping her hands around his arm.
Angelica laughed "relax, pigtails, and I'm not going to break the girl code," she told him, "someone as fabulous as I don't need to stoop to stealing someone's boyfriend."
"She's got an ego," Sam commented to Tucker, who nodded.
"I'm still skeptical about things like monsters and ghosts existing," Diana admitted, "but powers or no powers, you're a pretty good guy."
"What the skeptic said," Daria added
"I don't think you're a freak Blue Eyes. I think you are the kindest and sweetest boy that I met during the dating site," Felicia added.
While Danny blushed at the compliment that Felicia gave him, Iron Man came with a jumbo jet. which landed
"Phantom good work on saving the girls," Iron Man compliment Danny. "I'll take it from here and take them home."
"You're friends with Iron Man Danny?" Alex asked the ghost boy,
"You can say that," Danny rubbed the back of his head.
"Oh sure, oooky spooky, and I go wayyyyy," Iron Man quipped, "now which of his little helpers was behind that virus that broke through my firewall."
"I HACKED IRONMAN" Tucker exclaimed, looking like he was going to faint.
Ironman turned to Tucker "well, and I got my answer."
Tucker was standing frozen like a deer caught in the headlights while being face to face with one of his favorite superheroes "you Boba Fett virus managed to get through a system I designed to keep out the likes of AIM HYDRA and a paranoid bat from Gotham."
Ironman patted Tucker on the shoulder "you want a job after you're 18. It's yours."
" I," Tucker stammered out before he fell back. Danny and Sam moved to catch him before he hit the ground.
"What Steel Spector means is he's very flattered, and you'll hear from him in two and a half years," Danny said quickly, ignoring Sam's raised eyebrow at Tucker's name.
"Awesome," he said, looking over to the girls "ok, so everyone who doesn't live in Amity Park, get on the Quinjet, and Jarvis will take you home to your family members" he repeated it again in Japanese for Makoto and her blonde friend that Luke his brainiac clone may have had a crush on
The girls followed after Tony and into the extra-large jet. Katie stepped over to Danny. "Uh, about what happened at the carnival," she began nervously, sounding guilty, "I'm really sorry."
"We both made mistakes," Danny told the blonde. "I'm just happy you and the others are safe."
Danny wanted to say something to his girlfriend, but she needed to go home. Her parents were probably worried sick about her.
Plus, Danny had other problems dealing with.
Like Buzz, who was currently flirting with Gwen now that he was completely free of Vlad's mind control, Ben was getting annoyed at Danny's clone flirting with his cousin. Kevin looked ready to use his powers to destroy him.
Henry, who had disappeared at some point while Danny was distracted by his past blind dates
Dani, the clone which he actually had a relationship with and was still unconscious from whatever Vlad did to her
And Luke, who may or may not be still be knocked out in Tucker's room.
Oh yeah, and he accidentally spilled his secret identity to his dad because he couldn't see him in the exoskeletons helmet.
Yeah, that was going to be something Danny was going to have to deal with
Vlad stood on the bank of the Sanzu River. His mass kidnapping plot not only damaged Daniel's reputation but had filled the world with fear, desperation, and human misery.
It was an excellent first step.
Now for phase two, Vlad's eyes glowed red as he used his powers to put on the likeness of a fine Armani suit and left the netherworld.
He had a meeting to attend, and it was always good to look Vlad's best
