Danny is Sent to a Foster Home
So! Unfortunately, Dannyâs parents finally went too far on one of their âghost hunts.â
Theyâd decided to expand their range outside Amity Park (because, and I quote, âwe canât let ghosts think they can hide in other dimensions!â) and somehow ended up in Gotham of all places.
Cue Jack and Maddie Fenton mistaking actual superheroes for ghosts.
They apparently shot a spectral net at Nightwing, screamed something about âevil wraith energy readings,â and then managed to bazooka Red Hoodâs motorcycle.
(He did not take it well.)
Anyway, they were arrested and legally classified as âsupervillains.â Which, honestly, couldâve happened years ago, but sureâbetter late than never.
This, of course, meant Danny and Jazz got scooped up by child services while their house was investigated by the Justice League. (The Portal to Hell in their basement probably didnât help their parentsâ defense.)
At first, they tried separating the siblings. That lasted exactly three days before Jazz broke out of her foster home, stole a bus pass, and found Danny sleeping behind a movie theater.
So. That was a no.
Then the system tried putting them in a foster home specifically for the kids of supervillains. Which wouldâve been fine, except the parents kept trying to break into the house to get their kids back. Weekly.
Jazz made the executive decision to request a transfer. (She still texts the other kids, though. They have a group chat named âVillain Kids Anonymous.â)
Eventually, they landed in Fawcett City.
The Vasquez family seemed⊠normal. Warm. Loud. Their house smelled like cinnamon and laundry detergent, and the chaos was familiar in a way that didnât hurt.
Danny didnât hate it. Jazz even smiled again sometimes.
Theyâd been there for a few months when the Vasquezes brought home another foster kidâquiet, wiry, polite to a fault. His name was Billy.
Danny didnât think much of it until one day, Billy came home smelling like ozone and thunder and divine energy.
Danny, whose ghost senses were screaming bloody murder, nearly threw himself through a wall.
Billy blinked at him like nothing was wrong. âUh⊠bad day at school?â
Danny: âBad weather day at school, maybe.â Billy: â...You can smell lightning?â Danny: âBuddy, I can taste it.â
The other kids were weirdly chill about the new arrivals. Theyâd heard about the Fenton situationâsome whispered stuff about âformer villain kids.â But they were kind enough not to pry.
Freddy, on the other hand, was obsessed.
âYouâve met Batman?â he asked Danny once. âYeah,â Danny said, sipping his ecto-latte. âHe was fine. Martian Manhunter was cooler.â Freddy, dramatically: âHERESY.â
Meanwhile, Jazz eventually learned what the Wizard did to Billy. A ten-year-old boy. Given the powers of gods. Then abandoned.
She immediately went into full big-sister mode.
âIf I ever meet that cryptic old man,â she muttered, âI am sending him to therapy. Permanent therapy.â Danny: âPretty sure heâs dead.â Jazz: âThen Iâll haunt him.â
And honestly? Itâs working out.
The Vasquez house might be crowded, but Danny doesnât mind it. Billy doesnât either. Theyâve both seen too much weirdness to be fazed by the otherâs secrets.
A ghost boy and a lightning godling, sharing chores, doing homework, and occasionally blasting interdimensional entities off the front porch.
Normal foster sibling stuff.
