Weird relatives

A little bonus

A.N. This is a oneshot addition. Please, don't expect a full blown sequel. I just really wanted to make this part.

"Hm, this place looks better on the booklet."

Danny wasn't quite sure what he had expected from the town in front of him. Maybe a bit cleaner place, but then again, it wasn't an always shining Olympus. He was standing near the sign saying 'Amity Park, a nice place to live'. From his divine point of view Phantom couldn't complain. No point in demanding everything from the mortals, but he was fine with all their flaws. Nature was not his domain, and all the litter on the grass near the road thus was not his concern. But tossing the bottle in the bin was not hard, so he did just that.

The cars were pulling by as he walked down the pavement to the town. Danny had discussed the matter with the most air-headed god of Olympus, and, after hard debates, Phantom convinced the guy that letting more creatures come out of his domain was too dangerous for the young demigods. Despite the fact that Zeus's own daughter fell victim to them, the old man was obviously distrustful of the upstart divine. Why would Phantom limit his influence over the mortal plane? There was no ulterior motive, Danny just wanted his relatives to be safe from the dangers. They were gods, taking care of their children was a piece of cake.

But he had to arrange with Hades as well. Phantom hadn't had a chance to talk this out yet. Danny could watch the gates to Tartarus, but the Underworld was his cousin's domain. Something told the young god that it wouldn't be easy. The poor guy was too bitter, even with his lovely helmet.

Nevertheless, here he was. Danny arrived to the town of Amity Park with only one aim - to close the unregistered gateway. He wished he could be the all seeing. But no, he couldn't even pinpoint a location. Phantom had to conduct an investigation, because his father decided to be playful. Honestly, Danny had other things to take care of, more important than pointlessly looking around. Spend time with his sweet child for example. He had to wrap it up as soon as possible.

Danny entered the town's border after walking down the hill. In his hand was the silver cane - his key to jumping wherever he wanted on a snap of the fingers. Or a swing of his hand. But the regal looking artifact demanded an according outfit. So he was dressed in a white shirt, with black pants, held by a black leather belt. On his feet were black gleaming shoes. He didn't like such clothes, but otherwise Danny would look ridiculous. His neon eyes were covered by sunglasses, his stark hair was still a mess. Nothing could be done about this one.

The sky was bright blue and absolutely clear, the weather was scorching hot in the entire state of Illinois. Phantom could cool down the air around him, thankfully. He could see the relief of the passers-by, who thought it was just a soft cool wind. Danny hoped that Zeus wouldn't start a storm just to strike him with lighting for Clockwork knows what time. It wasn't painful, but it was annoying as hell. But Phantom guessed that with Master bolt it wasn't going to be as petty as before.

Looking around, Danny saw the rows of oddly similar houses, nothing pretentious, but not poor either. Just your normal housing in a suburban area. It was almost boring, but then again, a month ago he had traveled around the entire country. A small town looked very bland compared to this. Sitting on a bench at the bus stop, Phantom resorted to his senses.

That scent. The entire city was overflowing with the otherworldly energy, and those people were simply living their lives without even knowing about the menace. They were lucky that Amity Park was a far stretch from New-York, where the potential prey of the beasts flocked. It was quicker for them to exit in much closer spots. Otherwise the entire city would be a ghost town, mystical disguise or not. And he had heard rumors about the strange creatures, so the place was not safe for living at all. Such concentration of energy made it impossible to pinpoint the exact spot to just come and close it. And going around asking 'Where is the portal to the mythical world of damnation is' was a no go either.
