Danny Phantom: Fear

Growing Pains

The doctor stopped the wheelchair in a medium size room. The smell of hospital sterilization hit Danny's nose like a truck only increasing the urge to vomit.

The doctor ran the machine, but something kept blocking it. According to his medical charts the kid didn't have any implants that could be blocking the machine. It would be bad if it was his appendix and they couldn't see it.

The next logical solution was surgery and while in Gotham you could perform an emergency exam on a minor, you could not perform surgery without parental consent.

They wheeled Danny back and laid him back onto the hospital bed.

"So, what is it?" Dick asked. Jason's finger was tapping so fast it might drill a hole into the table he was standing next to.

"I'm afraid I don't know, do you know who has guardianship of this boy?"

Dick almost said Bruce, but then realized Danny wasn't adopted like they were.

"His sister, she has too. His parents died" Dick said suddenly.

Jason nodded, "I'll call her"

Jazz was in the middle of a college lecture when her phone went off. She quietly stood up and excused herself to answer it.

"Hello? Who is this?"

"This is Jason, I'm with your brother at the hospital right now and-"

Jazz's stomach sank, not the hospital. This was bad, really bad.

"-can you come over as soon as possible?!"

"I-I'll be there" Jazz hung up the phone and bolted to her car, shed call her college later and get a pass for a family emergency.

The entire way to the hospital her mind was racing. Danny must be in a terrible condition, he can't move or speak at all. That's the only way he would ever be in a hospital. He would never let someone bring him to the hospital.

Jazz parked in the first empty place she found before running full speed into he hospital. She ran up to the front desk, her hair was in a frizzled bun and a complete mess after running and she was so out of breath that the receptionist had to make her repeat her question.

Jazz made her way into Danny room.

"Oh my gosh Danny!" She said rushing to his side.

"He's so sick" she said the concern evident.

The doctor cleared his throat, "are you Daniel Fenton's guardian? We need parental consent to operate"

Jazz stared at him horrified, "O-operate? Why?!"

"Our medical machines and scanners are being blocked and we can't see what's wrong with him. We need to operate to find the issue"

"Do you have guardian ship papers?"

Jazmine felt a giant lump in her throat, tears forced back burning her eyes.

"No" she choked out, "I don't"

Dicks concern spiked.

"who does? Does anybody have guardianship over Danny?!" Jason asked his temper threatening to show itself.

Jazz grimaced and dialed a number on her phone.

The lady at the front desk gasped and scrambled to give him the information.

"right this way sir" a nurse said leading him to the room.

Shiny black shoes made a satisfying clapping sound with each step. The door to Danny's room opened.
