Doctor Danny Chapter 8

Vlad managed to squeak out of the situation with a cash fine and Lex Luther was supposed to be under surveillance. Despite being "victims", experimenting or holding a citizen, albeit a meta, was still illegal.

Danny however was currently with the justice league. They had brought him to a hospital but there wasn't much they could do for him there after discovering Danny had strange abnormalities with his DNA and heartbeat.

Jason sat by Danny's unconscious body while everyone tried to figure out what to do with the situation.

"Why didn't you tell me your boyfriend was a meta human Jason?!" Bruce demanded.

Jason looked shocked at first which quickly turns to anger.

"Are you kidding me?! First of all, when did we have such a close relationship? Because lately we could only manage a small conversation. Secondly I didn't know myself" Jason bit back the anger billowing inside him.

"He's got unknown powers and now Lex Luther knows about him" Superman said with a serious tone.

"who was that other guy?" The flash asked.

"Vladimir Masters, billionaire former mayor of Amity Park" Bruce said.

Jason didn't look at any of them, his guilty gaze fell on Danny.

"He's, how can we even tell if he's going to be alright?" Jason said.

The room fell into silence.

"Have faith Jason, that's all you can do"

Jason clentched his fist.

"I don't think so, I'm going to find another way" Jason stood up.

He locked eyes with Superman, "dont let him out of your sight. He's a prestigious doctor. He's important-"

Jason walked out, "he's important, to me"

Superman sat in the vacant chair and tried his best to use his own powers to figure out Danny's condition. There wasn't much medical data on Danny to begin with so they weren't sure what we considered normal for him. More than once superman had been sure Danny's heart had stopped, yet he was still alive somehow.

Bruce had conflicted feelings about the good doctor. Jason trusted him, then again Jason was a murdering crime lord out for revenge.

He knew Jason and Doctor Daniel had a special relationship, after all, one doesn't usually cripple people for just a friend.

Joker had yet to recover.

Back in the bat cave Jason was taking full advantage of the access to the oicie records. It was harder than he thought it would be to get information on Danny because he wasn't born in Gotham but he eventually found a lead.

According to the hospital records paired with surveillance cameras outside the city, courtesy of Tim, Jason found that Danny had come from Illinois.

There was also that girl, Sam was it? Did she know his secret? She had to know something right?

Tim glanced over at Jason's screen.

"Oh that's the lead of that startup band Twisted Vines." Tim commented.

Jason's head snapped towards Tim so fast he almost counted it as a jump scare.

"Do you know where they'll be playing next?!"

Tim pulled out his phone.

"They have an app, let's see...seems like their doing a gig at Croscee's Pub tonight"

Jason stood up.

"I'm going to that and your coming with me"

Tim was grinning from ear to ear. So cool!

Later that night Jason and Tim in civilian outfits made their way to the bar. The band had already started playing judging by the muffled music pounding through the wall.

Jason opened the door and maneuvered through the crowd of people before resting in a corner.

Tim on the other hand has made his way to he front and was avidly cheering the band on.

Jason was growing slightly pissed off. Danny was counting on him and the best he could do was watch this stupid concert.

The music eventually ended and the crowd of people tried to swarm the band but security held them at bay.

Jason had other means, he snuck into their bus.

The band members were obviously shocked to see a stranger sitting in their tour bus.

"Jason??" Sam asked. They relaxed, if Sam knew this person than it was probably alright.

"What are you doing here?"

Jason stood up.

"It's Danny, we need your help. Danny's not waking up"

Sam motioned for then to go outside.

"He was attacked by Vlad Masters and Lex Luther"

Sam clentched her teeth, "Vlad"

When she noticed the look on Jason's face she explained, "Vlad wanted to get with Danny's mom and kill his dad. He also cloned Danny several times. One time he was successful."

Jason could feel the pits bubble up in his chest.

"I need to see him. That's the only way I can tell you"

"I brought a car"

Sam nodded, "give me a minute" she said before climbing back onto the bus.

Tim ran up to Jason, "did you talk to her yet? What did she say?" He asked.

"Alright, I'm good to go" she said slinging a couple of her bags over her shoulder.

Tim's mouth went wide open.

"So cool" he whispered.

The car ride there Jason went into more detail.

Bruce was a little surprised that the answers Jason had went to find were in the formation of some rock punk.

Sam was admiring the space when she caught sight of Danny. She dropped her bags and ran over.

"How long has it been?"

"A couple days."

"Do you know what they injected him with? What about the state he was in when you found him?"

"He was injected with a drug that I don't recognize in the system or otherwise" Bruce said handing her the tablet.

Sams expression darkened, "blood blossoms, fucking bastards"

"He was extremely agitated but Jason managed to calm him down just before he fainted"

Sam handed back the tablet.

"Blood Blossoms are extremely harmful to gh- to people like Danny"

"No matter what I need everyone in this room to swear an oath not to say anything about Danny's condition. I know someone who can help him but I need you all to ask as little questions as possible"

"Where do you have to go?"

"Illinois"

"Take the jet" Bruce said. Jason nodded.

"And here, this is the contact of a friend who can give you a log of Danny's normal condition and what to do if he takes a turn for the worst."

It was Tuckers contact. Jason and Sam left and Bruce got on the contact.

Tucker had become a software engineer for AmerTek Industries in Metropolis.

Flash said he would pick him up and left before anyone could object.

Tucker had been finishing up a report on a new robot the company was in the planning stages of creating, next thing Tucker knew he was in the arms of somebody going at incredibly fast speeds to somewhere.

"Oh" is all he said when they filled him in.

"Sams already on it huh" he sisd with a nervous smile.

"She always so on top of things"

"She told us we could find his medical information with you"

Tucker blinked, "oh yeah! We had to create an updated version. After the accident Danny couldn't get checked by normal doctors anymore. Thank ancients his parents were so oblivious-" Tucker stopped talking when he saw their faces.

"Did Sam not tell you about that? Maybe I've said too much. In any case if there's something you don't understand, let me know"

He handed over the digital file on Danny.

Not even two seconds later Bruce was grilling Tucker on what ectoplasm was and what machine caused this to happen.

There was also a detailed report on what devices the Fenton's had made and how they interacted with Danny.

"What's this page?" Tim asked scrolling onto the page filled with a list of all the ghosts Danny had fought and their abilities.

"I,uhm, well I don't think I should-"

Tucker shrank under Batmans judgmental stare.

"Sams going to skin me alive for this but, I suppose I should tell you everything"

The heroes listened, stunned at the words coming out of Tuckers mouth.

Not only had they not known about the mad "ghost hunting" scientists. They also had known about the portal to the infinite realms.

They were even more shocked when he told them Danny had been crowned king.

"He was a teenage superhero and we were his support team"

Tucker smiled, "nows he's still saving lives. Danny really is something else"

Bruce had went to eh next room to brood over his failure to see all of this whole Supes glumly accepted the fact that he couldn't have done anything without knowing.

"You guys don't need to be so down about it. Any transmissions Danny tried to get to you guys was most definitely being blocked by Vlad and his fancy equipment"

Clark shook his head.

"So Vlad and Danny have history" Flash said.

"Yeah, deep history. In fact. Vlad shares Danny's condition. They're both liminals"

Tucker scowled, "he's literally a villain. Danny's been dealing with this guy for years."

"I can't imagine being a fourteen year old hero"

A glum look passed over Tuckers face.

"We, haven't talked in a while. But I should've tried. I knew he was going through something rough. It was hard for him. Didn't help that he was bullied either. Danny too nice for his own good"

"For now, all we can do is monitor his condition. Have faith in your friend"

Tucker nodded. Danny would wake up. He was sure of it.

DOCTOR DANNY CHAPTER 10

"Daniel" the voice that called out to him was hollow and distant.

Danny opened his eyes. Almost around him an empty dark void. Danny lifted his up. Water droplets fell from his arm.

Danny tried sitting up only for his feet to be tossed below the water. It was shallow water. Just going up to his waist.

But it was strange. Where was he? Why was he standing in a pond?

"Daniel you must wake"

Danny's head swiveled unable to see the voice or hear where it's coming from.

"I don't know how" he answered back. He wadded out of the pond. The grass underneath his feet felt soft and prickly.

It was so dark that color didnt seem to exist. Everything was a shade of black.

Except the swirls of color in the sky.

"Who there?" Danny asked as he leaned against a tree.

"Daniel, do you hear me?"

"I can hear you!"

"Wake up!"

Danny was at a loss.

"C-can I help you in some way?" Danny asked. He felt a weird tingling sensation in his chest all of the sudden.

"You have to wake now Daniel!"

Danny stood up, ready to shout at the voice when the world flipped upside down, the ground pulling out from under his feet.

Danny was left sitting on the ground after the world titled. He was watching a scene be had seen before.

His family, his friends. Dying. Dan laughing in his face.

"NO!"

Suddenly everything was erased leaving Danny floating in an endless void.

"Where am I? Why can't I leave? I want to go home!"

Danny felt his eyes grow wet and tears started to fall down his face.

"This isn't fair!" Danny shouted, "I've done everything I can, given everything I have, I'm nobody. I'm a loser"

The void answered with silence.

"Don't cry, you'll wear yourself out before you've even woken up"

Danny looked up but still the owner of the voice that seemed so familiar was not there.

Danny waited, it felt like forever he would be stuck there endlessly.

"Remember, everything is as it should be"

Green glowing eyes shined brightly as his eyelids parted. He shot up clutching his chest, breathing hard and trying to figure it if this was reality.

A hand slid on to his and as he calmed down his eyes dimmed back their natural blue. His breathing was still slightly ragged.

That's when he really took in his surroundings.

"Where am I?" Danny asked.

"Wayne Manor" Sam answered, "you were unconscious for a week"

Danny nodded, it felt like a day to him.

"Yeah man. We were so worried"

Danny lit up when he saw Tucker, "hey this is just like old times" he said through a grin.

"Oh yeah?" Sam asked with a smirk.

Danny nodded, "sure. Me injured, you two hanging around until I'm better. All that's left is Jazz to start scolding me"

Tucker laughed.

Jason who was standing nearby, didn't feel like laughing at all. Just like old times? How often in his youth had Danny been hurt?

A knot of worry began to form just below his chest. Jason took a step forward.

"Glad your awake"

Danny looked up.

"Yeah, me too" he said.

"Danny"

A sharp pounding rang through his brain.

"Ah" Danny's hand flew to his head.

"Danny?" Jason asked.

Danny gave him a slight smile, "just a headache"

Suddenly in the middle of the room a green portal opened.

Danny grimaced, already on the defensive. Superman and Batman, the only two heroes present were tense.

Once Danny saw a staff poke through the portal into the room he relaxed.

"Clockwork" he said in relief.

Sams mood darkened. She didn't associate clockwork with anything good. He was like a bad omen, a harbinger for the disasters to come.

Tucker seemed quiet and reserved, unusual for him. Maybe he just didn't want to run into a bell a few hundred times like Danny had been forced to.

"Hello Daniel, I'm afraid I come baring grim news"

Danny felt Sam go rigid, "when does he not" she muttered icily.

"Dan is loose. He broke free if his containment and is currently searching for you."

Danny felt his core start to sink, "can you look into the future-"

Clockwork held up a hand, "Daniel, remember the last time you attempted to change the time stream. Even if I could it could rupture the natural flow of time."

Clockwork tapped his staff, "besides that concept, Dan is no longer apart of the time stream. Any future with him apart of it becomes a future I cannot predict. This is why I have come to warn you. Even this is a stretch of what the observants have allowed me"

Danny ground his teeth, "Thank you clockwork"

Clockwork gave him a solemn nod  before stepping back into the portal and leaving Danny to ponder it.

"Who's Dan?! Danny are you in trouble?!" Jason asked frantic for answers.

"Yes Jason, I'm in danger. And so are you. Everybody is as long as Dan is out loose!" Danny exclaimed throwing  up his hands.

Jason grabbed Danny's hands in order to calm him down, "Danny, talk to me".

Danny took a deep breath before starting in.

"Dan was me from the future. A future in which I become evil and destroy the world. But I tore him from the timeline and avoided the key events that change me"

Jason nodded to show he was following along.

"Dan hates me, he thinks I'm going to to turn into him one day but now that he's out of the timeline we are two separate people. I will NEVER become him and I will NEVER turn evil"

"I know you won't" Jason agreed.

Danny smiled "thanks"

Sam cleared her throat, "ahe-hem, you guys can make out later-"

"We're not-"

"-are we going to find Dan or are you going to be bait Danny?" Sam asked with a cocked eyebrow.

"Bait! Look at Danny, besides we'd probably have the advantage if we found this Dan guy first" Jason intercepted.

Danny stood up, "I don't think you should get up yet-" Jason interjected but Danny gave him pointed glance that helped Jason reconsider.

"I've been out for a week, that means we are losing time fast. I need to find him so I can beat his ass and throw him into soup jail"

Jason's eyebrows scrunched together, "soup jail?"

"He was trapped in a thermos, not sure how he got out but I will need to modify one so he can't get out ever again"

"What about that portal or that creature, who are the observants?" Bruce pressed.

Danny rubbed his face his hands. "The observants are like, the council of time and that "creature" was Clockwork, the only entity capable of touching the timeline, but he's heavily monitored by the Observants. Also the Observants are eyeballs in robes."

"Ugh, we don't have time for this, we need to find-" they were interrupted by an alert.

Dan was on a live screen holding a random civilian hostage.

"IF DANNY FENTON DOES NOT SHOW HIMSELF TO ME IN TWENTY MINUTES I WILL TAKE THE LIVES OF EVERYONE IN THIS CITY STARTING WITH THIS CHILD"

Danny sprung up, "where is this?! WHERE IS HE?!!!" Danny demanded feeling the panic bubbling up in his throat.

"He's at the East End of Gotham, Little Italy. Not even a block from Luigi's Pizza"

Jason sped across Gotham with Danny on his motorcycle. Twenty minutes was barely enough time, meanwhile bats and he rest of the freak squad (the league) were busy devising a plan.

The bike skirted to a stop and Danny jumped off. There, floating in the air s few feet from the ground, was Dan. He held a little boy, ice on his mouth.

"Dan! Put him down Dan! This is between you and me" Danny shouted.

Dan smirked and dropped the kid. Danny sprung forward, flying a short distance before grabbing the kid in a tuck'n'roll.

He fazed the ice off the kid and told him to run.

Luckily the police had evacuated the surrounding area.

"Why do you hate me so much?! I didn't do this too you! Vlad did!"

"IT ALL STARTED WITH YOU!" Dan shouted firing an ecto blast at Danny, he evaded it.

"I didn't cheat on that test, I didn't become you!" Danny argued.

Dan burst forward and grabbed Danny by the collar flying up.

"YOU WOULD HAVE! YOU CHEATED THE TIMELINE. YOU DINT HAVE TO PAY THE CONSEQUENCES FOR YOUR ACTIONS LIKE I DID!"

Danny struggled, in his weakened state his powers were dismal.

"You can still change! This is a new timeline! You dont have to be evil anymore!"

Dan eyes lit up with fury, "I CANT EXCEPT THAT YOU LIVE UNBURDENED BY THE COUNTLESS LIVES That YOU HAVE SLAUGHTERED WHILE I BEAR WITH IT EVERY. SINGLE. DAY"

"You had a choice!" Danny screamed back, "you were wronged! So was I! But it's different, you can start fresh-"

Dan punched Danny in the face hard, sending him flying.

"DANNY!" Jason screamed running over to his crumpled form draped over the fountain. Jason slid on his knees once he reached him, gently and desperately tapping his face.

"Danny! Can you hear! Danny!!"

Danny coughed, "Jason it's alright, I've taken worse than this, I'll be fine" he said standing up, fighting against his own body.

"DAN!" Danny shouted coughing up blood right after earning the ghosts attention.

"YOU CAN BEAT ME, HURT ME, STRIP ME OF EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE I EVER CARED ABOUT. LEAVE ME HURTING LIKE YOU OR YOU CAN STOP AND REALIZE THAT YOU DONT HAVE TO BE THE VILLAIN ANYMORE!"

Dan floating down and walked over to Danny.

"Thanks, I'll take you up on that offer" he did before punching Danny in the face again.

"YOU FUCKING ASSWHOLE, GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Jason shouted lunging at Dan.

Dan didn't bat an eye, his arm shot out and grabbed Jason by the neck.

"I will take everyone you love" Dan squeezed harder, "and I will destroy it all!"

Danny looked through his swollen eyes, "NO!" Danny grabbed Jason and fazed him out of Dan's grip.

"But first, you will feel pain like nothing you've ever faced before"

Dan grabbed Danny and threw him at a nearby building. He walked over to the bloodied doctor.

"How ironic that someone who was meant to cause so much pain became a doctor. You know, your the same weak kid you've always been"

Dan kicked him in the ribs making Danny gasp out in pain. The air left him and he the pain was the only thing he could feel.

Stomp, stomp, stomp.

"sssy" Danny sputtered. Dan dug his nails into to Danny's jaw, making him bleed as he forcefully lifted it, "what was that?"

"S-sorry" Danny said with pleasing eyes.

Dan let go in disgust, "ha" he turned before delivering another devastating blow to Danny's gut.

"P-p-pah" Danny croaked.

"Oh no, no no no no. I can't have you die yet Danny. Just watch, get comfortable" he said slapping Danny face before walking over to Jason.

He fired hitting Jason in the leg. Jason held in his cry of pain, not wanting to give this bastard the satisfaction.

From our of nowhere a beam fired at Dan. Danny forced his body up and moved in the beams path int iem to spare Dan. He fell in a crumpled heap at Dan's feet.

"That want meant for him" Superman said in grief.

"We know" Bruce replied.

Dan let go of Jason, staring at Danny's broken, bloody body that had shoved its way in between Dan and a possibly fatal injury.

"Why?" He asked crouching down and pushing Danny on his back.

Danny was unresponsive.

"Because thats who Danny is, you changed, Danny told me about you. He said he wasn't you. He wanted to save people, you wanted to hurt people"

Dan looked around the destruction, it was begging to remind him of a familiar scene, like his old timeline.

"His core is damaged, boy-"

"Jason" he interrupted.

"Jason, I have two people inside of me and for the longest time I thought I was evil and couldn't change. Dan y deserved this more than I do" he reached into his chest and grimaced and he broken off a chunk of his core. He thrusted it inside Danny chest connecting it to Danny core.

It fused together, slay healing Danny.

Dan collapsed, propped up by an elbow, "if I die here, disappear forever, tell Danny Im sorry and that he was right"

The two were carted off to a meta hospital, Jason tried to follow but was forced to seek his own medical attention.

Somewhere in the ghost zone a mysterious being of time and riddles smiled,

"all is as it should be"

It’s a trade off.
