Accidental Baby Acquisition
Danny has his portal accident a lot earlier than in the show, 10 years early to be exact. Jack and Maddie had been in the kitchen going over some blueprints and studying some ectoplasm samples they had stored in their fridge. Jazz was out of the house at a friend's house, she made sure her parents remembered. She put it on the houses multiple calenders, in her parents phones, a note on the fridge, and even announced on her way out the door to catch the bus to school that morning. Needless to say the two forgot anyways and thought Jazz was watching Danny in the living room as they tinkered away in the kitchen.
Danny was being a kid, a young kid who was fascinated by his parents work and who just wanted to look at the cool toys they made downstairs in the basement. He was very good at going up and down the stairs by himself, and remembered to put on what his mommy called a HAS-MAP suit....or something like that. His was white and black! Like an astronauts! He couldn't reach his goggles though but he figured it would be fine, he was just looking and nothing was on! And mommy and daddy only wore the goggles when something was glowing.
He hadn't been down there a lot because Jazzy didn't like him down there. She said it was dangerous but mommy and daddy are always down there and they don't say it's dangerous so maybe it's not that bad? He had a fun time looking around! He made sure not to touch anything like a good boy but then he saw the giant circle thing in the back. It looked like the bottom of a rocket ship! Mommy and daddy were building a rocket ship! He excitedly ran towards it but tripped over a big wire, it was close to what daddy called a tension cord! He didn't mean to knock it out he didn't it was unplugged so he plugged it back in carefully because he didn't want his parents to be mad. Then he walked inside the giant metal circle.
He tripped again into the wall of the big circle, he hit a loose piece, he felt bad when it fell off and decided he should get out and go apologize, but then he heard a humming. It got louder and then. Pain.
Jack and Maddie heard the scream. It was. It was awful. Something they would remember forever. They ran as fast as they could to the lab calling out for Jazz and Danny. When they got down they were shocked to see their portal to the Ghost Zone active, and more so to see a small ghost getting up from the floor to look at them. It was mimicking crying. They weren’t idiots. Maddie drew one of her guns with Jack doing the same, she knew she was crying, she had heard her baby. This ghost had to have taken him and was taunting them.
"Mommy. Mommy, I hurt." The ghoul cried and Maddie saw white. How dare this thing mimick her child. How dare it try to take advantage of them. She didn't know what happened but she could guess from the way her finger felt cramped and the way her husband had shouted.
She had shot the ghost. It was falling back into the portal. It was getting away. They both scrambled to grab something, anything that would catch it so they could question torture it in on Danny's whereabouts. They were unsuccessful and all they could do was watch the little thing fall further into the portal before it got to far it let out this piercing, in human wail and next thing they knew, both Jack and Maddie awoke on the floor of their lab. It was a wreck, their inventions were thrown all around, some broken, some thankfully intact, but the most devastating realization was to see how damaged the portal was. She screamed.
Jazz was brought home by her friend's mom but when the mom walked her to the door and they heard screaming and crashes, her friend's mom told her to go wait in the car and tell her older daughter to call 911. Jazz was smart. She knew something was wrong, and all she wanted to do was run in there and make sure her baby brother was okay but she listened to Mrs. Richmond anyways. That was the day Danny Fenton went missing. It would be soon that Jazz would go to live with her Aunt Alicia. Maddie and Jack were deemed unfit to take care of her. But that was fine, she would just get in the way of their research. They never reached out.
Danny, lost in the Zone and hurting only wanted to be safe and he just wanted his family. The Zone no longer had a portal to send the little Twilight child out of back to his family but it did the best it could. Danny landed on a chunk of a ghost town, no ghosts were there, it seemed to truly be abandoned.
Flynn Walker went missing when he was 8, that was 10 years ago. His mama had told him not to go messing around the town's local ghost story ridden abandoned train cart out in the woods. Boy sis she tell him many times, and he remembered his dad saying, "Alicia, he's a boy, boys tend to wander and seek adventure." His ma and dad fought a lot, but he liked the idea of adventure. He remembered complaining about wanting to go see the train because all his friends had, and he remembered his dad telling him to go and that he would cover for him if his mom asked. That would be the last time he saw his dad or mom.
The memory was fuzzy but he did remember exploring the train carts and being bored until he got to the last one. It just felt off. It was cold. It was hot. He felt like there were people all around. Then he heard the trains horn...which was very impossible since there were only carts from the train. Not the front. Not the back. Not even the dining cart. It was a couple of the seating ones. But it was when he heard that horn when a flash of green blinded him and he ended up in the Ghost Zone.
He had been trying for years to get back to his mama, but so far, nothing. So he did what his mama taught him, and he survived. He was doing a good job if he did say so himself, he even made some alliances with some ghosts. He knew what to expect in the zone. What he didn't expect was finding a baby ghost hurt on his property. And well, he wasn't going to leave the little thing to die...again. Nor was he going to risk Walker and his men finding the little thing or any other ghoul.
That was the day Flynn Walker accidentally acquired a baby. A ghost baby. A ghost baby who for some odd fucking reason turned human sometimes.
This is another idea that's been floating in my head and I had to put it down somewhere so why not here? I definitely want to write this too! This will have ghost baby Danny being parented by his missing cousin and he will meet his rouge gallery as a baby! And spoiler alert they become attached. Also baby Danny is powerful and they all are kind of in awe at how powerful this tiny baby ghost human is. Jazz lives with her Auntie and gets to be a kid again but she also just really worries about Danny and thinks she sometimes sees him but that's impossible right? Alicia becomes Jazz's guardian and learns just how negligent her sister and husband were to Jazz and Danny and it broke her heart and lit a fire in her like nothing else.
This will have maximum Maddie and Jack salt with them thinking they were in the right but they just also kinda go off the deep end. This will have redeemed Vlad because yes. It will still have Sam and Tucker just in a different way than in the show. I'm thinking of having them be ghosts too but I'm leaning more towards humans that Danny meets when a portal is open again.
