Catch-All for Late March

[schrodingersghost]

Characters: Danny Fenton and You
Date: Late March
Location: Multiple
Situation: Catch-All
Warnings/Rating: Probably None


1. Central District

Somehow it just figured.

He was finally having a kind of decent day. Decentish. No ghost responsibilities, no school.

So of course he would suddenly start shivering in the middle of his walk home. Danny wraps his arms around himself in a useless attempt to stay warm.

Either there had been a really sudden cold snap or... He forgot about his ice powers.

Danny starts running.


2. Just Outside Keeliai

Somewhere in his frantic run out of Central Danny had managed to find a hidden place to change to his ghost side and take to the air. Flying was hard when you were this cold, but he managed. As soon as he clears any populated areas he heads up into the sky. and then he focuses, and lets the cold energy out. There is a flash of blue light, followed by a wave of cold.

And then there is nothing but an extremely localized snowstorm.

Danny sighs and slowly drifts back to the ground.

"Well,that could have gone better. But hey, at least I didn't create any accidental glaciers this time."


3. Midnight Hotel
Once his shift of the day finally ends, Danny goes in search of Adrien. Danny figured he should still be somewhere around the kitchen.

Comments

[purrns]

"Yeaaaah that sounds about right. I'l really glad I only have to deal with one akuma victim at a time."

[schrodingersghost]

"Do you have to deal with them dating each other?"

[purrns]

"I...guess some of them kinda do? But then we cure them right after- so one of the couple is always just themselves again- not super powered or anything."

[schrodingersghost]

Danny makes a face.

"Count yourself lucky there. Nothing is more annoying than getting pulled into your enemy's romantic problems. Last time I ran into Skulker he was trying to take my pelt because his girlfriend told him he was a plusy hunter. And don't even get me started on Johnny and Kitty."

[purrns]

"Wait, so someone wanted to skin you? To impress their girlfriend? Like...you can actually skin a ghost?"

Yes. That's the part to focus on.

[schrodingersghost]

Danny waves a hand dismissively.

"Oh, that guy's been after me since the day he found out I existed. Apparently I'm rare, and that makes me a good prize. Though he keeps changing his mind on whether he wants my pelt on his wall or his bed."

[purrns]

"...Dude," Adrien gives him a look. "I know you're probably getting desensitised to it because your life is generally really freaking weird. But as your friend I feel I really have to tell you that that;s really creepy. Moreso than usual."

[schrodingersghost]

"Really? I've always thought it was more of an eww thing. Or maybe a yikes." He shrugs. "Either way, I guess it's a kind of threat you get used to. It's not even the worst one I get."

[purrns]

"Noooope, it's definitely a yikes thing."

Okay, no wait, Adrien cocks his head to one side. Danny what is your life.

"You mean the person who literally wants to skin you isn't the worst threat you get? Again: literally wants to skin you."

[schrodingersghost]

"Well, yeah. He might have a robot suit that seems to get more missiles every time he upgrades, but I've beaten him tons of times. I know what to expect." He shrugs. "To be honest, I'd take a fight with him any day over dealing with the Guys in White. They're the government's ghost-hunting division, and they've made it pretty clear they want to bring me in for lots and lots of painful experiments. And you saw what my parents are like. Nocturne wants to put me to sleep, permanently. Undergrowth tried to feed me to his plant children. Walker wants to put me in his prison for a thousand years, to start. I'm not actually sure which is worse."

[purrns]

"...Seriously, Danny, what is your life even?"

He feels the need to ask this, he really does.

"I mean, jeez, is anyone not actually crazy and dangerous with the ghost thing?"

[schrodingersghost]

He has to think a moment.

"It's really more of an either or kind of thing. I mean, the Far Frozen is pretty cool. And I get along pretty well with Cujo and Wulf and Dora. But they're all pretty crazy."

[purrns]

"Sounds like a blast. You have all my sympathies."

[schrodingersghost]

Danny stares at Adrien for a moment, a little confused by the comment.

"Uh, thanks? I think?"

[purrns]

Adrien flashes him a toothy grin.

"Yoooou're welcome!"
