Giant toy robots erupting from the street, Jon disappearing and coming back as a spandex-ladened Superboy   (with laser vision by the way!), another guy showing up in a  similar-ish spandex suit of black and red, riding in on a motorcycle and  hurling around bombs the size of marbles and taking down the  aforementioned plastic toy soldiers (made by a guy called Toyman? Maybe  he should give his villains of the day a little more slack on their  chosen aliases, that's about on par with Box Ghost ).

All that, and Danny thinks he's handling the whole situation fairly well!

He  helped out that guy in the car! Sure he fainted after Danny pulled him  out of the car, but most people didn't really like being phased through  things the first time around, so he's probably fine. Honestly, if Damian  hadn't stopped him he'd be out trying to help the other people left  from the traffic, some of which are still hanging around now that both  the plastic soldiers have been dealt with. Probably most luckily though,  it looks like most people knew to get out of Dodge the moment the  ground started blowing up. So, again, with everything happening, Danny  thinks he's handling the whole thing like a real pro.

But then  Jon's acting like it's not obviously him dressed up and flying around in  spandex, even though he's literally only pushed his bangs out of his  face, making it even more obvious (in Danny's opinion of having only  hung out with like 5 people for an extended amount of time since he was  thrown in this universe) that it's him. And the other guy, Red Robin  (like the restaurant? Do they not have Red Robin's here?) riding in on  his cool (VERY cool) motorcycle and doing like, a double backflip off of  it, was sick as hell! But even as Danny tries to get an explanation  from Jon about what's going on (hello, should he be worried about some  kind of war against giant plastic toys or is this just some kind of  normal tuesday (Ancients he doesn't even know what day it is) or  something?) Jon just dodges every attempt at a conversation by acting  like he's supposed to be in disguise or something (Again, he's just   pushed back his bangs, he's got an even better view of his face now!)  and don't get him wrong, he knows that his own disguise isn't exactly  great by comparison, he's just wearing that same (color swapped) hazmat  suit! But in Danny's defense, Danny Fenton already has a reputation of  being afraid of ghosts and is also, ya'know, alive .

Ok,  well that isn't to say Phantom isn't alive, because as Danny clearly  already knows, he's not dead, he's just got ghost powers! The portal  accident only resulted in like, his DNA being infused with Ghost Zone  magic or whatever, he's alive.

He is.

Whatever,  he's off track, SUFFICE TO SAY Jon is already living in a world with  superpowers and if he thinks this isn't obvious he's more oblivious than  Damian, who thinks he's a Mar-

"M-mars?!" Martian, a martian?! They have MARTIANS HERE?

Fuck it he's MOVING!

"HAHA! Called it!"

"We  leave you two alone together for a couple hours and you track down a  Martian, huh?" So do Martians look the same as humans here then? Kinda  lame but Damian seemed pretty convinced by the way he's rolling his  eyes.

"Yes! I called it and you told me I was being ridiculous! "  Then again it must have been his powers tipping him off, so here  Martians can fly and go intangible, Danny guesses, that's a pretty good  cover for him at least.

"Really it wasn't that hard a deduction to  make, however, I still don't think it's relevant to the case." Thinking  back to before Damian said anything, being a Martian might be a big  deal, if Damian doesn't think it's worth trying to hide Jon's superhero  persona, really he seemed kinda resigned to the fact! Maybe Martians  have some kind of mind reading or something, which he doesn't have so  that might be a problem.
