The Trio Reborn: Regain Humanity (DP fanfic) Branch 1

Chapter 10: "Hey Danny, Ready For Training?"

   It has been almost a week since those visions, and Dan has yet to appear. Tomorrow was Thursday, my parents had kept me home so that I could 'recover properly', I've been going to school with major injuries for how long now? I'm jut glad they are caring for me like this, and that I can continue my education. While I may be an immortal alive ghost-boy who is always busy saving others I can still pursue my Dream of being in NASA if I try hard enough, right? Yet another hope I'll just have to face having been destroyed one day. Truth be told my grades and school life are so horrible at this point that no matter how smart I am I won't get accepted into college, let alone NASA, but I can always Dream no matter how fruitless it is. 

   I have my bag packed and breakfast eaten, ready to head out the door for school when my ghost sense goes off. It is a familiar, but not familiar one? That is strange but I don't transform since I'm safe enough here, and the ghost doesn't seem to be warranting trouble so I'll just head to school. I open the door and blocking my way is a huge figure, looking stronger than my Dad. He smirks and says "Hey Danny, ready for training? Clockwork said I had to get here pronto." My eyes widen, remembering where I last heard that phrase with that voice. I fly back yelling, letting go of my bag and transforming. "Woah, Woah. Hold up. You know I'm not here to fight, just to train you." He looks like me, except after I had a huge growth spurt and ultra-military training. He looks like could be a big brother of mine, I don't like that. I float back down to the ground as my family rushes to me after hearing my yell, and feeling the drop in temperature. They stop and look towards Dan warily, Jazz seems to almost recognize who he is. "Well, I didn't expect such a welcome, you tell your family about my arrival hmm? It is nice to see you all alive again, no matter the circumstance. Just don't try to psychoanalyze me, alright Jazz?" Everyone looks shocked, and it would seem they all know who this is now. "Also, the name is Dan, don't want to be called my past self, I'm nothing like him, got that?" 

   Jazz gets this determined look as Mom races to the basement lab. Dan walks in and looks around, probably remembering about Fentonworks. Mom gets back after a minute with these Techy-looking bracelets, and walks up to Dan. "Young man, you will treat us with respect while under our roof just like before. Danny has informed us how powerfully dangerous you are so we created these inhibiters for everyone's safely. Now please put them on." He looked shocked at what just happened, and I can't help but chuckle a little. Then he scowls.

   Dan starts yelling, his eyes going red and his features changing to be more ghost-like. "You may have been my Mom in the past but I don't have to listen to you! You are just a weak, puny, mortal Human! I have already had my power limited, and I will not allow you to limit it more!" I fly up and in a threatening voice tell him that he will listen to her, or has he forgotten what he had told me. He growls, Mom is still standing her ground, and takes the limiters from her and places them on his arms. They snap shut and he growls saying "You better hope You get stronger Danny, cause your training is going to be Hell." I smirk, and he takes a deep breath before making himself look more Human again. He talks more calmly asking "So, where am I going to be staying. There isn't a guest room right?"

   Jazz looks a bit terrified, and you can't blame her. She takes a deep breath before telling Him with as much authority she could muster "You will stay here in the living room for now unless you want to stay contained in the basement. If you behave you might be able to use my room when I leave to college, but I am not letting someone who is a monster into my room. You used to be Danny, so I believe you can turn yourself around, until then you behave. Got that?" Both me and Dan got nervous with that statement, but only Dan nodded, it was addressed to Him after all so I have no reason to feel targeted. I'm glad Jazz can still influence His decisions though, I don't know if He can turn himself around after what He has done but I'm not gonna let Jazz know that. She is better off not knowing exactly what I could, and would, have ended up doing had things not been stopped by Clockwork. "Good. Now that that is sorted out Danny still has school to go to, you will have to stay here while he is at school then you can train him after he gets home. Alright?" He nods his head again, not daring to speak. I honestly find this a bit amusing, seeing that monster being schooled by Jazz like before he became Dan. I smile, thinking of how much of an awesome sister Jazz is.

   Mom goes over to Jazz and hugs her, saying how proud she is of her being able to use that tone and knowing how to use it. That shocked Jazz, but in a happy way. Then Dad went over and joined the hug, me forgotten as usual it would seem. Then Jazz motions me over and I join the hug smiling, she is always there for me no matter what. When the hug loosens she runs over to a lonely and regretting looking Dan and gives him a hug. He seems really surprised, so am I, and returns the hug quickly before pushing her away saying he didn't like hugs anymore. Wait, what? He hugged her back, and wanted to join in the family hug, but he is a monster who lost his ability to really feel emotions, isn't he? I am so confused now. Jazz keeps talking with Dan and Mom reminds me I have school. Oh, I do have school, shit! I run across the floor, grabbing my bag, and run out the door after changing back into my Human form. I still fly invisibly to school in an attempt to not be late but as always, someone stops me from accomplishing that. I am not looking forwards to the rest of the day now, stupid Spectra and Bertrand.
