Inkaliber: Welcome back! Sorry for the long wait guys. My beta reader had some personal stuff going on and I had some personal stuff of my own to take care of. I have something fun planned as an apology for the wait. Today is a two chapter update day so there will be some fun planned there. It's all gift-wrapped in a nice metaphorical bow.
With that out of the way, we all know why you're here. It is time once again for a journey in the lives of the Miraculous Gamer Guild. Some of our heroes will party hard this chapter! What kind of excitement awaits? You'll just…
BANG!
Deadpool: You put ME in your story!? Happy Deadpool Squeal! Had to write that to let the readers know that I'm not angry.
Inkaliber: Please don't mess with the fourth wall here. I told you to get lost! It'll be Subzero who deals with you this time! Besides, you're only in the world. Now if you'll excuse me… SECU…
Deadpool: WAIT PLEASE! I don't wanna leave! You're an amazing author and I love your works, from Jade 10 to this story! I wanna be a part of something bigger than the Avengers or any heroes! I wanna help save a chapter by…
Inkaliber: What do you really want?
Deadpool: My Landlord threw me out and no one would take me in! All the other cool authors have a Deadpool already! You're the only option I got and I'm gonna starve to death with no chimichangas! Sniffle!
Rose: Oh no! Don't cry Mr. Pool! I'd hug you but the others say not to touch you.
Deadpool: More Sniffling! Fair.
Inkaliber: Rose please. He's putting on an act. I…
Rose: Unleashes the Puppy eyes.
Inkaliber: Rose… Rose dear please. Don't give me the look.
Deadpool: Holds his hands to his cheeks as he tries and fails to make puppy eyes himself.
Inkaliber: …You're not gonna stop, are you?
Rose: Please, Poppa Ink!
Inkaliber: …My aching heart. AH FINE! Wayde, you can be the janitor and feed the Saibamen. If I find out you're messing with timelines again or that you start being a bad influence on the kids, you're out with a permanent censorship to your voice. Understand.
Deadpool: You BLEEP!ing got it! I sai G! I wasn't even cursing that time!
Inkaliber: Well until I can trust you, any potential expletives will be silenced. You will also be watched over by guards as long as possible. Now start by feeding the Saibamen while I answer reviews. They've been hungry for a while now.
Deadpool: YAY! Saibamen, Wayde's yer daddy! GAH! I FORGOT HOW SHARP THEIR TINY TEETH ARE!
Inkaliber: He'll be fine, Rose. Go get some cookies from the cookie jar. Anyway, on to reviews.
The_Avenging_Titan- That is an interesting call to make, though many would say that moment confirms it. Still, it's good to be cautious. I look forward to seeing your response when the full truth is revealed.
Njistar- Yeah Bruce really scared them by bringing her into the group. She does indeed know him. It would be very funny to see Dick flip out.
darknessslayer- The H was indeed right there. Damien just didn't want to be subjected to her crazy. Clark did come to him asking for help with her legal situation, so of course he's stepping in. He does indeed have the blood sample. Reactions will be very interesting. I guess I didn't have to worry about having the wrong state then.
ChikoTRQX- I'm glad that you enjoyed it! The blood sample really does imply that Dick and Danny are related somehow. Things will definitely be interesting, I can promise you that.
MadMat4244- Enjoy that popcorn for a good while friend. Drama is unfolding in a lot of areas, so you may have to pop new bags at some point. Danny and Ellie coming to terms with the parental relationship they want to have will definitely be a highlight of things.
kitsunefan- It looks that way. Pretty hard to deny, isn't it?
LunarCouncillor- Bruce has indeed made some plays that he would never normally call upon. To see so many people patrolling Gotham will indeed cause people to look in a loop. We'll have to see how correct your prediction is.
LtCmdrRadner- An interesting feeling you have there.
Fregreg- His haircut does betray some interesting facts about him.
OceanaMM- So sorry. There's a lot of content that needs to be covered. Sometimes you have to hang where you have to hang.
Lilyofthestars- As obvious as it may seem, I do need to have some fun. He is indeed kind of making things harder for himself, but in a world of magic and science appearances can be changed to a degree. Crazy would not even begin to define the state of Gotham. Everyone is doing well, as you'll see in this chapter. The fun never ends here in Casa de INK.
Chase- Kwan really does feel like he could be a good kid if he got his head screwed on just right. It could be fun to see him and Kim interacting. Dash being jealous would be a hilarious sight.
ValorusPrime- Dick's lost sister is named Maria. The guild would indeed freak out if Danny revealed that desire of his to them all.
The_Keeper_of_Worlds- Flaming Unicorns? Ninja Squids? It'll be more under control yet chaotic than that.
Speedykitten1643- We'll see if those ideas are right, though the blood thing does make Donnell pretty obvious. The fate of the missing siblings will also have to wait. Here's the next chapter so you didn't have to wait longer than usual!
glennish1966- We shall see. It also seemed to be keeping his hair from curling, which may or may not be another clue. Whatever is going on with Danny, I can confirm that Vlad has no knowledge of it.
XxXNightcoreQueenXxX- Bruce is kinda hyper focusing at the moment. He has the answer, but he doesn't realize it due to his investigative process.
Crazy_Swedish_Viking- Glad you enjoyed it!
Guest- The evidence does strongly suggest that Danny is Donnell. It would also explain the moments they all had where there was a pause in their speech. Harley did indeed scare three of the Batfam with her inclusion to their group and Bruce's little emergency order.
AnjaWritesFanfiction- Hopefully this next part will be as fun as you hope it is.
Fleet_796- An observant pair of eyes you have there. It has been implied that such a thing has happened. Now to see if Marinette finds out or not. I'm glad I could inspire you to pick up such an amazing series.
Fuyu_FoxWriter- Oh there are a lot of fun theories to have with this. I'm thankful that you enjoy it so much. While Nightwing won't be featured in this chapter, hopefully Babs will do.
Toko_Shadow (Nixys11)- I'm glad you could join us. I work hard to ensure that the story is in top condition for you guys, though I have had some early mistakes that I had to rectify. Indeed you will have to wait and see. Hopefully I can do Harley justice for ya. As with all things, we'll see how Bruce reacts.
Chase- It will indeed be very interesting.
Cody- You bring up a good point on Batman's capabilities. It would be interesting for the Miraculous cast to find out about Xiaolin Showdown folks. I guess we'll see if they appear or not.
Pj- Here's an update man.
Gwen- There are some interesting implications. I guess you'll have to wait and see.
Inkaliber: That's everyone, so let's begin before Wayde decides to pop back up. I don't own Miraculous, Danny Phantom, Marvel, DC, or any other series that show up here. I do own any original characters, concepts, creatures, and places that work their way into the story unless stated otherwise.

Paris, France
Luka sat on his family's boat, black and blue confetti lying all around the top deck. He had been spending his whole birthday with his mother and sister, enjoying the feeling of finally being 18. His family made sure to make it the best birthday he ever had, taking him all around the city to enjoy time together. He and his sister mostly went along with their mother's energy, though Juleka had become a bit more energetic herself as of late. They continued like this a good bit into the night, leaving him rather exhausted.
"Yarg!" cried Anarka. Luke looked towards his mother, noticing that she was resting on the steps leading to the steering cabin as she yawned. "We partied hard, me hearties! Cap'n needs to hit her quarters and get some shut eye." Luka nodded his head in response as Juleka yawned from a small table she was sitting at.
"Okay," accepted the young man. "Thank you for staying up this late. Remember that I'll be getting home late tomorrow. I'll be taking the spare key with me." His mother yawned once more as she made her way below deck.
"Ye have me permission, ya scurvy dog. Yer a grown man now. Just don' become drunk on rum and fall inta the sea. I quite like ya, ya hear?" As soon as the woman was out of earshot, Luka began to type into his phone.
MajorScaless: Mom just went to bed.
Tigress looks like she's almost ready to do so too.
I'm looking forward to the party tomorrow.
GothamEcho: Same here, Mr. Serenade
I told my friend you could play back up if someone needs it or take up a slot if the equipment stops working.
I'd be ready to steal the entire show if I were you.
MajorScaless: As long as people actually enjoy my music I'll be satisfied.
This party is really about celebrating a new chapter of my life, at least for me.
It helps that I'm going to meet you and go on my first date in a while.
GothamEcho: Well you know how to flatter a girl.
I'll do my best to make this one better than the last ones.
Luka couldn't help but chuckle, something Juleka wasn't used to hearing so loudly. His sister smiled at him as he slowly put the device away. Her mind running on sleep deprivation, she smirked while resting her head in her palm.
"I never thought I'd see you this happy ever since you were dating Marinette," stated the ghost boy's girlfriend. "Thinking about how Babs might take your breath away?" Luka smirked as he felt the old sibling pull in his chest.
"You're one to talk," joked the guitarist. "Do you know how hard it is to sleep at night when you call out for 'mon Fantôme' every few nights? I'm not the only one growing up, Jules, and you know it." Juleka suddenly blushed madly as she grabbed a nearby pillow her mother was once sitting on. She threw it at her brother, groaning when he caught it.
Noticing the small frown on her face, Luka couldn't help but sigh. "I'm sorry, Jules. I really am happy for you. Danny's got good vibes, the kind I'd want a guy to have if he were to date you. I know you two will work things out."
He watched his sister smile sadly as he stood up from his seat. "You both really love each other, something that's hard to find these days. Shoot for your dreams and rock as hard as you want. Maybe then he'll rock you all night long." Suddenly feeling energy, the boy ran for the lower decks as his sister grabbed up a foam baseball bat.
"LUKA! GET BACK HERE! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
The Next Night
Luka walked along the sidewalk, adjusting the sleeves of his jacket. He had commissioned a new outfit from Marinette that would fit with the party's theme, creatures of the night. It was a rather fancy party after all, hence why he needed something with more class than his usual attire. He was honestly thankful to still be friends with the girl, even after their breakup. Putting those thoughts aside, he took one last check over his outfit.
The first item of note was a leather overcoat, three fourths of it being taken up by a pale blue snakeskin. There were two bass clefs on the jacket, one of them being inverted as the two were connected by a chain that held the jacket together at the top. The jacket folded in on itself, creating a snake tail in the back and waves in the front. Underneath the overcoat was a royal blue vest, said vest covering a light shirt that peeked out of the coat three fourths of the way. He had a blue mid-tone cloth with a metal snake coiling around it. He wore pants that split in the front with a little bit of that snake pattern at the bottom, a pair of tall dark boots paired with the trousers.
Luka smiled as he looked himself over, wanting to be sure everything was properly adjusted. Satisfied with his look, he returned his attention to the path ahead. He soon saw spotlights shining through the air, a sign of where the party was at. He smiled as he approached a large, gated area, looking around for his date. He was about to go inside, only to feel a hand tap on his shoulder.
"Black hair with blue dyed ends, snakeskin overcoat…" listed a feminine voice. "Nice to see you in person, Scaless." Luka smiled as he rolled his shoulders a bit, trying to get in the groove of the night.
"Nice to see you too, Babs," greeted the music boy. He began to turn around as he nodded his head. "Just call me Luka. I…" His eyes widened slightly at the sight of the girl, the man looking her up and down.
Her red hair had been pulled into a bun upon her head, being held in place by a tiny bat ribbon. Her long dress carried three shades of black: a light black for the mesh that covered her neck and stomach respectively, a bluish-black for the bowing, and a deep black for the main body of the dress. The neckline of the dress took the form of a sweetheart neckline, spikes representing the wings of a bat. Her sleeves also had the bat wing detailing, having an open front that started at her inner elbow. The ruffles of the dress's skirt also carried this bat motif, creating quite the interesting look.
Babs smiled as she liked the way Luka was looking at her. If she was honest, she had to take a moment to check him out too. The man finally collected himself as nodded his head. "You're as beautiful as your melody." The redhead smiled as she nodded her head.
"Not too bad yourself, Luka. I'm Barbara, but you can keep calling me Babs. I hope that standing around isn't your idea of a party. I've been looking forward to seeing what you can do." Luka smirked softly as he offered his arm to the girl.
"And miss some good songs? I wouldn't subject you to that torture. Shall we?" Babs wrapped her arm around his, allowing him to guide her along. She could walk just fine on her own, though a gentleman was always appreciated.
Once they entered the yard, people could be found already in the midst of partying. Most of them were dressed in more casual attire, though there were some that dressed as if it were an old fashioned ball. The duo immediately drew attention upon walking in, feeling slightly awkward by the surprised looks some party goers were giving them. "We didn't overdress, did we?" A girl in a black wolf dress cried out in glee as she held her hands together.
"IS THAT MDC BRAND!?" cried the girl. She pushed through the people, stopping in front of the daters. "Babs! You didn't tell me you had an in with MDC!" Barbara giggled as she shook her head.
"It's a special order," informed the redhead. "I had to look my best if this party was gonna turn into a date. This is Luka by the way. Luka, this is the party girl herself: Monroe." Luka nodded his head in greeting.
"Hey," greeted the boy. "Thanks for letting me come." Monroe eyed him up and down before elbowing Babs lightly.
"Well you picked a good one Babs," complimented the girl. "Cute and polite. Hope you're ready for action, Luka. You're up after a few songs." The musician smiled as he sent the girl a thumbs up.
Monroe grinned as she turned back to the crowd. "GET BACK TO PARTYING, PEOPLE! THE NIGHT WON'T GET ANY YOUNGER!" The people cheered as they went back to their prior activities, some doing new things in order to liven things up. Babs smirked as she pulled Luka along.
"Come on!" cheered the redhead. "I'm making the most of the party before you're called on stage." Luka could only smile as he followed along. The first stop was the dance floor, the area quickly growing chaotic yet exciting.
Luka usually wasn't much for dancing, but he did enjoy seeing Barbara sway around as he used what little experience he had. He couldn't help but let his eyes wander as her motions accentuated her form, soon noticing how she was smiling at him. She then pulled him along into a closer form of dancing, grinning as she looked him in the eye. "Just follow my lead, Scaless."
The boy nodded his head as he let his date take the lead. They moved together, staying close as they moved through the dancing crowd. There were twists, turns, and tight squeezes as the music began to pick up speed. The increase in speed excited Luka as he watched Barbara laugh. Eyes continued to watch over them as they pretty much stole the show, a familiar redhead snapping pictures.
Nathaniel looked nervous as he collected images for Alix, having been brought along as her plus one. He had chosen to go for a raccoon theme, even going as far as to have a black mask over his face. He was wearing a gray overcoat, a white long sleeve shirt, a gray beret that Alix sewed ears to, gray dress pants, and nice black loafers. She had given him express orders to get any good pictures she could use as blackmail or to send to the group when she found out Luka and Babs were going to the same party she was invited to. He didn't exactly like the idea of going behind their backs, but a pair of arms wrapping around his stomach from behind him reminded him of the promised reward.
"I see you're getting some good shots, Nath~," serenaded a smooth voice. He looked back to see Alix with her hair let loose, the way that she was smiling at him making him tense up. She had gone for a nightjar theme, choosing a rather form fitting dress. The dress was mainly gray in color with some ruffles that had brown barring on them. The upper half of her chest was a black mesh, though the view he had still messed with him.
Nathaniel soon found himself with his back to a support as Alix leaned against him, her arms wrapped around the back of his neck. "To think you were so nervous when we went to dinner a while ago, just the two of us. Now you're here, at a big party, and you still look nervous as a bird. I bet you're just waiting to get back home so that you can work on more art." Nathaniel gulped as he looked his date in the eye.
"I… I can handle this," stated the boy. "Besides, I've got the most beautiful work of art that I've ever seen in front of me…" He quickly blushed, having meant to keep such words in his head. "I… I mean…" He was suddenly shocked as he felt a tongue invade his mouth.
Alix had pushed him into a makeout session, one that he couldn't help melting into. He subconsciously moved his hands to her lower back, actually grabbing at her rear as if to try and hold her closer. He heard his date giggle into the connection before she pulled back.
"There you go. Keep that boldness up and I might let you do some personal art." Nathaniel gulped at the offer, only for the duo to separate as someone approached.
"Alix!" greeted a voice. The duo looked over to see a Japanese girl with pale skin, long black hair pulled into a ponytail, and blue eyes. She was wearing a long red kimono with a firefly pattern, a yellow obi, and black high-heels. "I see you're enjoying the party." Alix grinned as she released Nathaniel, causing him to sigh.
"Yo Kimi! I didn't know you would be here! Nath, this is Kimiko. She's one of my online friends and Kagami's cousin." Nathaniel nodded his head with a soft smile.
"I…It's nice to meet you," greeted the redhead. "I love the firefly design on your kimono." Kimiko smiled as she bowed politely.
"Thanks," replied the Japanese girl. "I can see Alix is putting your confidence to work. If only my boyfriend could be as polite as you are. Speaking of, YOU BETTER BE GETTING ME PUNCH TOO, RAI!" They heard a gasp as someone by the nearby snack table began frantically working.
He was a boy with a light tan complexion, a round face, short brown hair, thick brown eyebrows, and green eyes. He wore a black leather jacket over a light brown hoodie, a pair of sunglasses with yellow lenses, black jeans, and yellow sneakers. Kimiko leaned towards the duo with an annoyed frown. "I couldn't get him to fully dress up, but this was the closest to an owl as he'd get." Her date was immediately by her side with a cup of punch.
"Got it right here," huffed Rai. "Sheesh. Some bozos were hogging up the table. They were talking about football like it was only kicking a ball." Nathaniel immediately looked the guy in the eye in concern.
"You should take a moment to breathe if it really bothers you," stated the artist. "You wouldn't want to become an Akuma." This had Kimiko look at him with a small smile.
"Oh don't worry about him," reassured the foreign girl. "My… family has an ancient breathing technique that helps ward off negative emotions and things that abuse them. We'll be all good. Anyway, I gotta get this guy on the dancefloor." Rai looked past the duo, noticing Luka and Babs as they had a ring of people around them.
"Might be best to wait a bit longer, Kimi," suggested the Brazilian. "Those two are really rocking the floor. They're the fanciest ones here. I feel like I've seen that design somewhere before…" Kimiko suddenly gasped in excitement, hugging his arm.
"No way! That's MDC design! The designer's a bit new to the scene but the output is amazing! They're living my party dream!" Alix grinned, knowing that she was about to blow her friend's mind.
The party continued on for a few hours, eventually getting to where a slow song was playing. Where he was a little awkward before when Babs took the lead, here Luka was enjoying the moment. The tone of the music matched the song he could see resonating in his date's eyes. It was like watching a ring of blue light flash through them. Unbeknownst to him, Babs saw her own version of this effect where orange bats seemed to fly behind him.
They were lost in their own world, imagining a black castle of sorts around them. Their heads approached each other, only for the speakers to squeal a bit and break the illusion. Everyone looked towards the stage, Monroe holding the microphone in her hand.
"Sorry to interrupt, party people!" cried the wolf themed girl. "We've got a special guest that's making a musical debut here with us! With a guitar tuned to his liking, welcome Luka Couffaine! AKA: MajorScaless." Luka only looked a bit nervous as Barbara lightly patted his back.
"Go get 'em," encouraged the Gothamite. "Blow them away." The rocker nodded his head as he made his way onto the stage. He received the guitar as he approached the mic, Monroe quickly making her way off. He quickly ensured that it was to his specifications before preparing his guitar pick.
[Play Epic Rock Electric Guitar (Left Lane Theory)]
He immediately began to play, someone on bass quickly following his rhythm. Some people began to cheer as he kept hitting every note correctly, feeling the melody guide him through the song. Barbara grinned as the snake-themed guy put in the work, making sure to record all of it. Alix couldn't help but cheer, Nathaniel nodding his head. Rai held up a fist as he nodded his head, a grin on his face.
"Oh yeah!" cheered the Brazilian boy. "This rocks!" Luka soon reached the biggest part of the song, feeling the energy rise as he imagined a giant light blue serpent hissing behind him. His eyes landed on Barbara, immediately imagining a large orange bat flying behind her. The two animals circled around each other before the song finished, the imaginary beasts crashing into each other as both daters imagined sparkles of their colors raining down slowly.
[Song End]
A cheer roared out from the crowd, Luka smiling his usual smile as he nodded his head. He handed the guitar back to the person who played it before making his way down the steps. Monroe was back on the microphone as the band readied themselves again.
"Let's hear it for MajorScaless!" The people cheered once again, the energy in the room being high. "Now we only got a few hours left of party time so get a move on people! Get ready for the wildest part!" Luka quickly made his way over to Babs, the redhead lightly bopping him on the arm with a grin.
"That was one heck of a show stealer!" cheered the Gothamite. "You're a natural!" The mellow guy nodded his head with a smile.
"Thanks," replied Luka. "I just followed the music, and it helps that I had a nice view." Barbara took him by the hand as she smiled mischievously.
"Hope you don't mind following my melody. I've got somewhere fun to show you, and Monroe's parties usually get too wild for my tastes the later into the night it gets." She pulled him along, heading away from the party. Nathaniel sighed, a bit disappointed that the night was basically over. He then found himself being pulled along, Alix looking towards Kimiko and Rai.
"We gotta make sure to get any juicy pictures to show some interested parties," stated the tomboy. "Then I gotta reward Nath here. Nice seeing you, Kimiko. Wish us luck!" Nathaniel was given no room to argue, being pulled away from the party.
Barbara and Luka soon found themselves walking in a park, heading towards Barbara's hotel. They were enjoying the cool night air, humming alongside each other. Babs suddenly got a fun idea as she pulled Luka into a slow dance. Nathaniel and Alix were hiding nearby, Alix having her camera ready. The pinkette grinned as her targets came to a stop.
Babs pulled herself closer to Luka, the guy going with the flow of the moment. As soon as their lips connected, they both imagined an explosion of music sheets shaped like bats and snakes curled up like notes. Alix snapped as many pictures as possible, Nathaniel keeping his hand over her mouth to stop her squeal from ringing out. He couldn't help but smile at the scene himself, nodding his head. As soon as they parted, Luka sent Babs a warm smile.
"As far as first dates go, this one's awesome," stated the chill guy. "You'll probably want to get back to your hotel soon. Your flight leaves tomorrow. I'll walk you there." Barbara smiled mischievously as she nodded her head.
"Oh we're going there alright, but it's not over yet," revealed the redhead. "Let me show you what a Gotham girl has to offer." She then pulled him along, a slight look of shock on his face. Nathaniel took his hand off of Alix's mouth, having an even wider look of shock. He looked towards the pinkette with pleading eyes.
"Please tell me we aren't getting pictures of… what I think they're gonna do," requested the artist. "That's a little too much, Alix." His girlfriend smiled at him, nodding her head.
"That's a little too private for my digging too," reassured the pinkette. "Besides, we're gonna be pretty busy ourselves. We might not be able to do all that they can do right now, but I still have my ways of rewarding you. Come one." She pulled the boy along, his face blushing as red as his hair was.
Couffaine Boat Home
Juleka walked around her room, wearing a baggy green long-sleeved shirt and a pair of black panties. She had just returned from a long day herself, deciding to be comfortable before changing for bed. She could only hope that Luka was having a good date, sitting down on her bed with a sigh. The more she thought about her brother dating, the more she wished that she could see Danny in person again. Roarr flew out from nearby, a grin on her face.
"I know that look!" cheered the tiger kwami. "You should call him and tell him to fly over right now! Then you can claim him as yours forever and ever! You gotta go for what you want and show that fire!" Juleka blushed at this, looking away with a small smile.
"He still has school this week, Roarr," reminded the Tigress Hero. "Besides, I'm not ready for that kind of thing. It's not about fear or uncertainty. It's about not knowing whether I can control myself if I do such a thing. I'd rather wait for our next in-person meeting before I go that far." Roarr groaned at this, floating on her back.
"That's no fun! I hate waiting, and so do you! I can smell it!" Juleka sighed as she shook her head, only to hear a custom ringtone go off. She looked towards her computer, seeing a call coming in from Danny.
"Danny!" She ran towards the computer, accepting the call. She walked over to her nearby mirror as she went about doing her makeup.
"Hey Jules," greeted Danny. "I…" Roarr giggled with a knowing grin as Juleka innocently went about putting her makeup on.
"Hey Danny! I'm getting my makeup on and changing." She heard a nervous gulp as she bent closer to the mirror.
"Juleka, your camera's on. As much as I enjoy the view…" Juleka dropped the makeup brush, her face paling. She slowly looked back at the screen of her computer, seeing the blush on her boyfriend's face. She immediately ran over and turned off the camera, glaring at Roarr as she laughed.
She quickly changed into a black tank-top and some purple pajama pants with black tiger stripes. The top showed off a bit of her developing bosom, but that was nothing compared to what Danny accidentally saw. She sat down as she turned the camera on again, noticing the new haircut the boy had.
"I am so sorry about that, Danny. I was a little distracted and didn't notice what kind of call it was." Danny blushed a little more as he nodded his head.
"It's alright, Jules. Like I said I enjoyed the view, and I've got another good one right now looking into your eyes." The striving model waved her hand at him with a small blush.
"You are such a charmer AND a rascal. I'd pop you on the arm if I were there." She then smiled longingly as she rested her head in her hands. "I like your haircut by the way. It suits you and the curls are a nice touch." Danny smiled as he scratched his cheek.
"I'm glad you like it. Mom threw a fit when she found out and it took Jazz and Jason some work to get her to not pull me back to Fenton Works. She made a big fuss that someone was corrupting me or something. It was like getting my hair cut was some kind of cardinal sin or something." Juleka frowned at this, a low growl escaping her throat.
"Danny, that's not normal even for oddball people. I know that our lives really aren't normal, especially yours, but I'm getting red flags from hearing that. Why don't you fly over here for the weekend? You could always fly back if they really need you." Her boyfriend smiled longingly at her before shaking his head.
"Thanks for the concern, but I'll be fine. Now if you're wanting a date then I could come over after I finish my essay." Juleka's smile returned as she leaned forward more, Danny blushing as her chest was closer to the camera.
"Now that I would love, but it really depends on the day. I love talking to you but I have the feeling you didn't just call to flirt with me and show off your new haircut." She noticed the slight dip in his smile, a serious look on his face, "What's wrong?" Danny sighed as he rubbed the back of his head.
"I've decided on something recently when it comes to who I am and I wanted you to be one of the first people I tell. The others on the team heard when they made me answer their questions, but I feel a need to tell you directly." Juleka felt her chest tighten a bit, worried that something big was about to affect her.
"Okay. Say whatever you need to." Thousands of thoughts of what the situation could be ran through her mind. Something inside her told her to be strong and listen to what was being said, a part of her she wouldn't normally listen to in these situations. Danny nodded his head before taking a deep breath.
"So you know how Vlad's been after me and my mom for a long time now? Let's just say he went to some huge extremes in order to also have me as a son. He eventually turned to cloning, like how that one Superboy was made. After many tries, he created an unstable twelve year old ghost girl named Danielle that could hold herself together better than the others. He made her a false promise to cure her instability by capturing me, but he planned to melt her down to make more stable clones."
Juleka clenched her fists, a sick feeling forming in her gut. "I know that it's messed up, but we took care of that. I and the Red Huntress helped her two years ago, and she's been roaming the US to try and stay out of Vlad's clutches. A few days ago, I learned more about how these ghost laws work and decided to develop myself more. The good news is that Vlad's gonna have a long list of enemies for breaking an unanimously accepted law of the Ghost Zone."
The Tigress hero nodded her head, a satisfied huff escaping her throat. "The news that really made me take time to think is that the way he cloned me is half of how ghosts have kids. He took my ghostly essence and used it with mad science to make Dani the way she is. While she could be seen as my cousin, she could also be considered my daughter legally by other ghosts." Juleka immediately began to piece things together, looking her boyfriend in the eye.
"Danny, I know that look. There's something you're nervous to say, so please just say it." Her boyfriend looked down before looking her in the eye.
"I have fatherly feelings towards Danielle. I know I could just call her my cousin but… the thought of having a kid actually excites me. That's why, if she's okay with it, I want to take Dani in as my kid. I haven't been the best fatherly figure by letting her run around on her own, but I want to make it work. Please let me finish before you say anything."
Juleka nodded her head, waiting patiently for him to finish. "The reason I felt the need to tell you as soon as possible is that I feel like our relationship could go beyond just boyfriend and girlfriend one day. I want it to get there, I really do, but that also means you would become Dani's mother. I wanted to bring this to you in case it's a big turn off for you. This is something I feel very strongly about, so I wanted to see how you felt."
The Parisian's eyes softened as she watched her guy rub the back of his head again. "I really feel like she's my kid, Jules. I just can't leave her to be out on the streets anymore. At the same time, I don't want to push you into a situation that you're not comfortable being in." The girl looked down at the table before looking towards her guy with a small smile.
"You had me worried that you were going to leave me for a moment, but this is also pretty big. I never really thought about adopting or even becoming a mother so quickly in life… Be honest with me. How serious are you about this?" Danny slowly nodded his head as he looked away.
"As serious as I am about loving you. I have to do something for Danielle, and she deserves to have an actual father instead of that creep Vlad. Please, at least think about it first. This is my family I'm talking about, and I'd love to have you be part of it if you'd like it." Juleka smiled a bit more as she nodded her head.
"Danny, I just wanted to be sure that you were seriously considering this. I was slowly starting to gain a crush on you before I even learned about your powers. When I learned just how crazy your life really is, I had to think about whether I could live that kind of life. Running from ghosts, dealing with wild parents, having an evil old fart breathing down my back. I had come to a decision before you even announced that your family was coming to Paris."
She moved the monitor a bit so that she could look directly into the camera. "I decided that I would try to become involved in your crazy life to see if I could really be part of it. Out of everything you've told me, having a clone that you want to be your daughter is actually the most tame thing out of everything. If anything, the fact that you feel so strongly about this shows me that you'd be a great father when we have kids someday." Danny blushed as he coughed into his hand.
"When? Does that mean…?" Juleka smiled longingly, having a blush on her face as well.
"It would not bother me at all if I become a mother to Danielle someday. I love you, as in really love you. It would take breaking my entire world for me to even consider leaving you. Even then I know that you would be there to help me pick up the pieces before I could even put such a thing into action. You have me for life, and possibly beyond depending on how this ghost stuff works."
She looked back down towards the screen, watching in concern as Danny suddenly changed into Phantom. His hair remained curly, even looking like it was fresh snow as it flopped onto his ice horns. "What's wrong? Is there a ghost or…?" The boy suddenly flew into the camera, the screen turning white as it glowed.
"YA MIGHT WANNA SCOOT BACK!" cried Roarr. Juleka immediately did as advised, Danny suddenly flying out of her computer and crashing into her. He was able to hold her up as he pushed her into a makeout session, the tigress hero closing her eyes as she took in the experience. Danny eventually pulled back, sending the girl a smile as she opened her eyes.
"What did I ever do to deserve the perfect girlfriend?" questioned the ghostly hero. Juleka blushed at this, her heart beating faster. Danny set her down on the ground feet first before nodding his head. "I should really go. I…"
The Parisian girl remembered what Roarr had told her before, feeling emboldened by the moment. She smiled mischievously as she grabbed her guy by the hand, pulling him towards her bed. "Jules?" He found himself being plopped onto the mattress, Juleka slowly crawling her way up his form. He blushed as he instinctively turned off his ghost form, gulping at the smile she was giving him.
"You think you can come into my room like this and just leave? Over all the time that we've been together, you've awakened a beast inside me. I think I like it, so now it's time to show you the consequences of your actions." She laid flat on top of him, her bosom pressed against his chest as she pushed him into another makeout session. Danny couldn't help but moan into this, grabbing at his girlfriend's rear as they experienced each other.
The Parisian slipped her hand up her guy's shirt as he continued to massage her haunches. She eventually rose for air, Danny imagining hearts in her eyes. "Such a wild little ghost I found. Are you going to haunt little ol' me?" The hero grinned as his eyes glowed slightly.
"For all eternity, My Tigress." He then flipped her over, being the one on top as he looked down at her. He gently raised some of her hair, letting it flow through his fingers. "Everything about you drives me crazy. The look in your eyes, the perfume you wear, your courage, your cute butt that I got a nice view of…"
Juleka blushed deeply as Danny actually looked nervous, his hands hovering above her. "There are places that drive me insane but I can't go without your permission. There's risks I'm willing to take, things that I'm willing to do, all to please you and make you happy. You've become part of my ghostly obsession, and I'm not letting you go unless you want to leave." He was surprised when the girl gave him a pleading look, a light mewl escaping her throat.
"There's only one thing we can't do right now. Other than that p…please just enjoy yourself. Also, don't be too r…rough with whatever you do." Danny blushed at this, having not expected the request. He smiled as he held his head over Juleka's.
"Whatever my Tigress wants. I haven't done any of this before so please just bear with me." Juleka closed her eyes feeling the sensation of Danny's hands upon her. She moaned in enjoyment, feeling the cool of his skin on her stomach. Roarr laid down on the nearby table, purring in success as she chuckled.
"Knew it'd happen at some point," huffed the Kwami. "It was only a matter of time. I'll be excited to be here when they eventually do try for cubs."
