Dick knows I know about you. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me, but I don't think they'll ever give up.
Jason put away his phone; he would think about that later. Right now, he wanted to give Jazz all his attention and know what happened to make Danny a cute five-year-old.
"I don't know how much you know about Danny's and mine biological parents," she trailed off while rocking Ellie.
"I heard enough," Jason answered while Danny said, "Almost everything. Except how I got de-aged 'cuz even I don't know or the few days leading up to that."
Jazz nodded, "good, that'll make things easier."
Jazz put a now asleep Ellie on the rocker and looked at Jason and Danny. They were sitting in their new living room. Jason had chosen a little house with the closest neighbor two miles away. They were still in the woods but twenty minutes from a little town with schools, a library, and a general store. Would it be easier to disappear in a city? Maybe. But Danny wouldn't be able to use his powers as well in the city.
Plus, it'd be easier to avoid Oracle, too.
"Mom and dad were supposed to be out of the house that weekend. They were going to test a new invention. The Fenton Demoleculizer. It was supposed to tear ghosts apart 'molecule by molecule,' as they liked to say. It didn't work that way."
"Things rarely do," Danny chirped.
Jazz sighed.
"Ellie had come that weekend to visit. They both took down a ghost and returned them to the Ghost Zone."
"Stupid Skulker," Danny added.
"Mom and dad caught them both transforming. They didn't hesitate; they shot Danny first. Thankfully, I had come down the basement when mom shot Danny. If it had been dad, well, let's say he's a horrible shot. Thankfully, the Demoleculizer didn't work how it was supposed to and only de-aged Danny."
Jazz sighed and rubbed her eye.
"I was able to get Danny and throw him through the portal, which is how I assume he ended up with you. Mom and dad were furious and thought I was overshadowed. They were ranting about how they didn't notice their baby boy was dead and were tricked by a filthy ghost. There was no talking to them."
"In the chaos, Ellie got hit with the Demoleculizer, too. I knew there was no going back at that point, so I got her and went through the portal. Those few minutes must've been days here, though, because, well, you know, we didn't land at the same place or time that Danny had."
Silence reigned as they all digested what Jazz had said. Jason couldn't believe any parent would turn against their child that way.
But then again, Sheila did the same to me, he thought.
"So now what," Jazz asked, "we can't mooch off you forever, Jason. As much as I appreciate what you've done, it isn't fair that you have to feed three extra mouths now and leave your old haunt for Danny."
