DP - PT AU - The Deal 7
Warning: There is sex & mention of blood.
---
Vlad woke up feeling surprisingly sluggish & weak that day. He knew why. He hadn't 'fed' in a while.
'Fed' meaning, he needed blood. Red or green, he needed it. Ever since he became a Halfa, he'd needed to consume vital fluids.
As much as he hated it when Daniel poked fun at him looking like a knock-off Dracula, he actually was somewhat vampiric in nature & required blood every once in a while to remain healthy.
The first time, he'd tried to eat normal food to sate himself, but it all tasted like sand when he was low on sanguine. Eventually, he'd snapped & attacked some poor fellow in the hospital room beside him. He'd drained everything & the old man had died & Vlad had felt SO guilty for it. After having fed his fill, food tasted right again. At least, until he needed to feed again.
But draining it from people directly rather than waiting for them to be drunk off their asses meant them knowing, which meant killing them, which meant people disappearing, & other people noticing. Sure, he was rich enough to pull it off & he was certainly not a stranger to murder. If nothing else, he could simply phase them into the ground or into a wall to get rid of them, but it was still a hassle to do every time.
He used blood bags to take off the edge, but it didn't satisfy or fill him up the way fresh sanguine did.
Recently, he'd been avoiding feeding on actual people because... he wanted to be better for Diana... who he hadn't told about this side of him... but he was so hungry & everyone he saw was starting to look... delicious...
He could hear their hearts pounding, pumping their blood through their veins. Every throat looked so... biteable...
All day, he'd been resisting & the sun was starting to feel too hot on his skin. He wore sunglasses to keep the light out of his eyes & extra-strength sunblock to hold off the burning.
He felt miserable & it reminded him of a mix of not having slept in days & being hung over at the same time. His skin always turned ashen in these times.
Vlad hadn't felt this way since just before the first time he'd fed.
Then, on his way to work his nose suddenly flared, filling with a coppery scent that immediately went straight to his brain, & he snapped his attention to the sound of a homeless man gasping. It appeared that he'd cut himself while whittling & now he was cradling his finger that now oozed with crimson.
Vlad zeroed in on the ruby red liquid as it seeped from the man's cut. The coppery smell filled his nose & drew him in like a fishing line. He could feel his fangs growing in his mouth. Suddenly too full of teeth.
His restraint frayed, then snapped. He couldn't starve himself anymore. So he looked around then snuck into a nearby alley. Using his Colorswap ability to turn his hair red & his skin tan, Vlad snuck up on the other man, his irises having turned blood red & his fangs had completely unsheathed themselves.
Vlad found the man sucking on his finger & he licked his lips, smile becoming wide, sharp, & deranged.
Silently, the businessman covered the other man's mouth, a muffled scream escaping from the hobo as he was pulled into the shadows of the alley.
There, Vlad breathed in the smell of blood & alcohol. Blood always tasted better when his prey was nicely inebriated. Though, he preferred wine or a nice whiskey to beer. As a methyphile himself, he would sometimes stake out one of the elite at galas to feast on, typically waiting for them to be utterly smashed before luring them into his bed where he'd feed as he fucked them languidly. Gender didn't matter in those times, only blood & sex. By that point, his prey would be too drunk to even remember his face.
He'd actually done just this to one Stephenie Meyer not long before her infamous series started coming out. The very idea that he might have been what inspired her & introduced such tripe to the world of literature weighs heavy upon his conscience to this day. It sent shivers down his spine just thinking about it... This was the crime he regreted most in his life. Not theft. Not murder. Not fraud. Possibly bringing Twilight into existence was the worst.
Of course, now that he had his darling, he couldn't stalk high-profile parties for his meals anymore. He was nothing if not loyally monogamous.
Anyway, Vlad licked his chops before pulling the struggling, frightened man's head to the side to bare his throat to him. He grinned seeing his veins bulge with his increased heartrate. The Halfa then opened his mouth, leaning in to run his tongue along the most prominent vein & closed his lips around it to suck a hickey onto his neck, bringing the blood closer to the surface.
Vlad then pressed his nose into the darkened area & shuttered, his mouth watering.
Vlad: "My apologies, but I'm afraid your future prospects are now looking rather thin."
Licking his lips again, he prepared to finally sink his teeth into the man's neck when he was struck in the back of the head...
Dina: "Let him go!"
He faltered, surprise & panic running through his veins. The homeless man then used his distraction to stomp on his foot, causing Vlad to let out an animalistic hiss of pain & release him.
The man ran as fast as he could to which Vlad shouted.
Vlad: "No! Damnit!"
Dina: "Wait, Vlad? Jesus Christ Almighty! What the hell were you gonna do to him?!"
Vlad spun around, not even questioning the fact that his angel could see through his disguise. She knew about his power after all.
Looking at her, he suddenly felt as though he'd been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
His stomach growled & he groaned at the gnawing emptiness.
Vlad: "I-I'm sorry, Dearest. I just... I'm so... I tried not to, but I simply can't do it anymore, my love. I know you might not understand, but I'm just so hungry & human food just doesn't cut it when I get to this point."
Dina: "What do you mean?? Were you about to eat that man?!"
Vlad flinched.
Vlad: "N-not in the way you're thinking! I..."
Vlad debated telling her & realized that this was a crossroads in their relationship. He had to trust her.
Vlad: "E-ever since I became a half-ghost, I've become... hemovorous, needing blood & core-plasm in order to remain healthy. I... I never wanted you to know..."
The expression on Dina's face was one of shock before becoming thoughtful.
Dina: "Wait, you actually are a vampire? It's not just you trying to look sinister & failing? Like, you drank my blood once before, but I just thought you were a sanguinophile, not a sparkle fish!"
Vlad's face scrunched.
Vlad: "A.) Don't ever compare me to one of those beta cucks ever again. B.) Just because I'm vampiric that doesn't automatically make me an actual vampire! Vampires don't exist!"
Dina: "But, what do you mean?! No ghost I've ever heard of needs actual human blood to survive! Not one! I mean, revanents, but they're more zombies than actual ghosts. Neither me nor Danny need it, so I can't think that it's a Halfa thing!"
Vlad blinked in disbelief, caught entirely off-guard.
Vlad: "W-what? You don't??"
Dina: "No! I mean, there are plenty of vampiric ghosts, but they all consume core-plasm from other ghosts, not the blood of humans."
Vlad: "I... Well, I require that as well, but... What does this mean? What am I??"
The business mogul was starting to seriously panic. He'd always hoped that it was just part of being half-ghost, but if it wasn't, then what did that mean for him?
Was he even half-human at all?
Just then, he doubled over when his stomach rumbled desperately, suddenly dizzy with thirst. He felt hands on his shoulders, rubbing the stress from them.
Dina: "Oh, Vlad. Why didn't you tell me before?"
Vlad: "I- well- I thought..."
He swallowed dryly, throat working overtime.
Vlad: "I thought you wouldn't... That you'd think..."
Dina: "That you were a monster?"
Vlad tensed at the twinge that shot through his heart, looking down as his eyes misted.
Vlad: "Y-yes..."
Dina: "Vlad, somehow I don't think this is something you can really help."
Vlad: "I... I'm not a... vampire... I can't be... when I feed, I don't... infect people with my condition. I just need blood. Please, Dear. I want... I need..."
Dina: "We can figure out what this means for you later. You need to eat first..."
She seemed to contemplate something for a moment.
Dina: "Just this once, feed from me..."
Vlad started at her words. No one had ever offered before.
Vlad: "What??"
Dina: "You heard me. Feed from me. I heal way faster than humans, so my blood replenishes itself more quickly. Also, maybe the ectoplasm in it will help to fill you up more."
He was... touched & his cheeks flushed. He remembered that her blood had been... absolutely delicious.
Vlad: "But, what about the baby?"
Dina: "He should be fine. According to Frostbite, my body will instinctively divert whatever's necessary to him first in moments of danger before providing for me."
Vlad contemplated this, then his stomach demanded substance once more. A deep hunger grasped him by the lapels & he was suddenly pinning his beloved to the alleyway wall. His blood red irises searching hers. She nodded in response, to which he leaned in to kiss her. It was a kiss full of gratitude & admiration & desperation... thirst...
Vlad then lowered his head, kissing along her jaw, to press his nose to her slender throat & breathe her in. The older Halfa shuttered at the sweet scent that he could smell hiding underneath her natural Hawaiian bakery aroma.
Beginning to feel drunk off her scent, he pressed a kiss to the skin there, promising them both that he'd stop before she got hurt, before opening his mouth, scraping his fangs across her skin to find the right spot, & slowly sinking them into her supple flesh as his hands lowered to rest against the curve of her hips.
The first splash that hit his tongue lit up his tastebuds differently than ever before. Even compared to the last time he drank from her. It was... more intense... He moaned against her skin as he began to pull the sanguine from her.
He drank languidly of her, his Adam's apple bobbing with every great swallow he took, the vital fluid flowing down his throat to settle in his stomach. There was a familiar tingle & slight citrusy static undertone that he recognized as being ectoplasmic in nature. Much less promenant than before, the taste of sweet iron more strong now as a human. He grunted at the taste, drinking deeper.
Slowly, a familiar heat stirred within his loins, far more intense than the time her drank from her thigh & he pressed his groin against hers, grinding up between her legs to try & satisfy some of that longing & desire.
Feeding had only ever done this to him once before. But even more so now. Well, biting did, but that's because he's odaxelagnic, not because of the blood itself.
There was something different, something ambrosial about this blood, her blood. Deeply so that being in her ghost form had apparently covered up before. Or was it that his sanguine withdrawal amplified the effects?
Something was there; some unknown element in it that had never been in any of his other prey & seemed to chemically raise his libido.
Her blood was both coppery, faintly citrusy, & deliciously sweet on Vlad's tongue in a way that was unfamiliar to him & he knew that if he wasn't careful, it could get dangerous. It churned oddly in his stomach, yet he couldn't bring himself to care enough to stop just yet. It reminded him a tiny bit of doing pot in college, leaving him lightheaded & lowering his inhibitions.
He suckled at the wounds in her neck, grunting at the aphrodisiac affect it was having on him, his dick straining against his pants. He gave a muffled moan against the lovely young lady's skin, feeling his libido rise with vigor.
Minutes passed, his thoughts muddled by the desire to drain more & to fuck his prey as he did it.
Dina: "V-V-Vlad~..."
Her voice came out a quiet, stuttering whisper & a sudden, indescribable clarity struck him, starting from the center of his chest & striking at his mind like a bolt from the blue, along with an urgent necessity to leg go of his kitten's throat. So, immediately the millionaire withdrew his fangs from her flesh to stop himself from draining her completely, at which point, the fogginess settled back over his mind like a heavy veil. He hadn't even noticed how replete & sated he felt until that very moment.
As far as sustenance went, anyway. The desire to feed having been taken over by something far more carnal.
Vlad rested his heated cheek on her shoulder, panting harshly. His cheeks had a rosy flush to them & his eyes were hooded; dazed & even a little high off his meal.
He groaned, slumping to rub his cheek into her warm shoulder as his hips continued to rock slowly against her clothed crotch.
Vlad trembled at the libidinous need that gripped him tight. If anyone had looked into his blood red eyes at that moment, they'd see that his pupils were blown wide, indicating a sort of high.
Brushing his lips against the already closing wounds on her neck, he nuzzled her there.
As for Dina, she was currently very dizzy from the sudden loss of blood, both ectoplasmic & non.
She took some time to collect herself before noticing that her boyfriend was still rocking into her rather urgently.
Figuring it'd take longer to just wait out whatever was happening, Dina then reached down to unveil his erection from the prison of cloth it'd been caged in, allowing it to spring out, pre leaking from the head. Then to her crotch in between her boyfriend's aimless, blood-drunk thrusts to lift up her skirt & push aside the crotch of her panties.
Almost immediately, he slid into her welcoming honeypot with a moan as her legs lifted up & wrapped around Vlad’s waist, & began to fuck her with alacrity.
If we're being honest, he wasn't all there at the moment. It was mostly instinct & pseudo-drug-induced arousal guiding him, so he was lucky he didn't accidentally slide into the other hole.
Nevertheless, his enthusiasm was real & so was his affection for his lover.
Cupping her thighs to keep her aloft & slouching against her curvy form, Vlad rubbed his cheek against hers like a giant affectionate cat, huffing like an animal in heat as he bucked up wildly into her plush, warm, tight body.
He grunted with every impact of their hips, not saying a word, he was so far gone.
The ghost girl clung to him, clawing at his upper back & heels digging into the small as he rutted her. She tucked her face into his neck, nostrils flaring to indulge in his complex bittersweet, spicy, & smoky scent.
Dina: "That's right... Just let it all out..."
Vlad let loose a whine from deep in his throat as he snuggled into her, his aquiline nose now buried in her no-longer-bleeding neck as well, & increased the ferocity of his thrusts; a spaced-out look in his eyes. His desperation for relief was wholly apparent.
Vlad: "Aaaaaaaaagh~♡♡♡..."
Vlad's mouth dropped open in a breathless, almost whispered moan when he met his end inside her. While his knot didn't swell due to her already being pregnant, he kept his hips pressed to hers anyway, rolling them against her.
Some basic instinct told him to keep going, to get her off too. So, he ground hard into her sweet pussy until she was clutching at his back, nails dragging across his Armani suit as she wailed her release.
The fluttering of her walls around him triggered one final orgasm, her hot, hungry cunt milking his balls of every last drop.
Vlad whimpered at being strangled in such a wonderful way, eyes narrowing into slits in his pleasure at being so lovingly wrapped in her warmth. His cock twitching & abdominals flexing with every rope of jism that burst from his tip & filled her cunt.
His breathing was heavy, his chest heaving with effort as he slowly began to regain some sort of dazed sense of self beyond 'fuck' & 'breed.'
Vlad groaned, his mind clearing as he put together what'd happened.
Vlad: "I-I wasn't expecting to get hit so hard... It hadn't been so effective last time..."
Backing off of her to wabble slightly on his feet, he found that he certainly felt more energized & less miserable now, not to mention very full, but he also trembled all over. Similar to when kittens get the meat shakes.
Licking his lips clean, he gave a shuttering breath at the flavor. He then stopped, realizing what he was doing, then took out a handkerchief to dismally clean his lips & chin before reaching down to re-hide his now limp manhood inside his boxers & re-fasten his pants with shaking hands.
Vlad: "I... don't believe that I'm very comfortable with the idea of doing that again anytime soon. What if I lose all rationality & drain you dry? I couldn't live with myself if I did that. Honestly, I shouldn't have anyway. What if what I did hurt our son?"
Dina flushed as she re-adjusted her panties & lowered her skirt.
Dina: "You're right. Even if my body does naturally supply for him first rather than me, we shouldn't make a habit out of this. I don't think it's sustainable, but maybe draining animals will work too?"
Vlad recoiled.
Vlad: "Like those Cullens? I was honestly hoping to avoid that to keep from resembling those ridiculous stories."
Dina: "Well, beggars can't be choosers, Big Guy."
Vlad huffed, nose scrunching in disgust at even remotely resembling those sparkling twats.
Vlad: "I suppose not..."
He went quiet, a cold dread filling his stomach as he thought about his species. He suddenly didn't know what he was anymore.
In that moment, thin, yet muscular arms wrapped around his waist, a warm body with soft breasts & a belly full of life pressing into his back, a head resting between his shoulder blades.
Dina: "It's okay. We'll figure this out together & no matter what you turn out to be, I'm not leaving. We'll do some research & deal with it as it comes."
Vlad gave a sad smile, then turned around in her arms, lifting her chin to try & place a kiss on her lips.
But she then pressed a finger to them.
Dina: "Woah, Big Guy. You ain't getting these lips 'till you brush them chompers. I'm not into that sort of thing."
Vlad pouted, but nodded, understanding despite his disappointment.
However, she did stand on her tiptoes & place a kiss to his cheek which made him feel better.

Wait a minute…papa Tom doesn’t seem too hostile towards Nathalie. Or at least she doesn’t seem nervous/blackmailed. Does Tom not know her past allegiances or…is there an alliance in play?

DP - PT AU - The Deal 6
The thing about Vlad & Dina's relationship is that while it isn't strictly the healthiest it could be, that's partially because Vlad, himself, isn't the stablest person around.
He's actually kinda both yandere & simp in a way, but the thing about Dina is that she's got all the tools necessary to handle both & keep him in check which is just one part of the reason why she's his soulmate.
Like, if there is a power imbalance here, it's actually in favor of Dina rather than Vlad because she's got him emotionally by the balls & isn't afraid to twist them to get him to listen to her both figuratively & literally.
Now, she also isn't about to abuse this power she has over him because she really does have some very deep feelings for him & really likes him, but she will manipulate him if she believes it's for either his or their children's own good. She tends to use her position to get him to do things like get therapy & whatnot.
Now, that isn't to say that she's making him jump through hoops to be with her. She's not that high maintenance. She genuinely likes him so she tries to make it easier for him. It's more that she has certain boundaries, both personal & moral, that she's not okay with crossing. Like, she encourages him to make his own boundaries too & she tries hard to follow them when he informs her of them.
Thing is, if Vlad ever realized that she manipulates him, he'd likely just be impressed & turned on. That's part of why they work so well together.
I feel like as they grow more comfortable with each other & express their feelings for one another, they'll slowly develop a more equal relationship & a deeper understanding. Particularly, a dynamic not dissimilar to Gomez & Morticia Addams. Like, sure they bicker, but they also understand that just because they fight, the love isn't gone.
Not in personalities, but in how they interact with each other. This is all years down the line, of course.
---
When Plasmius phased through the wall, Dina noticed that he was soaked to the bone.
She would've laughed & teased him if she hadn't gotten a good look at his hair. It fell down over his shoulders in wet curtains, but damn it looked so much better with it framing his face!
This is how he looks:
Tumblr media
(Can't remember the artist, but here it is.)
She stared at him wide-eyed before blinking & going to get him a towel.
When she handed one to the man, he smiled at her disarmingly.
Vlad: "Thank you, Dearest. I apologize for my unfortunate appearance, but your brother caught me on my way here & we got into a fight. He knocked me into Cauldron Lake."
He looked at the towel & smirked.
Vlad: "A sweet gesture, but you know that all I need to do is become intangible & the water falls right through, yes?"
Dina: "S-sorry, forgot."
He just smiled at her flustered remark, catching on that she evidently enjoyed his wet look. Leaning in with a flirtatious lilt, his eyes hooded.
Vlad: "Unless you prefer me like this? All wet & dripping with condensation, my Darling?"
Dina stuttered, before catching herself. Her cheeks dying themselves green with embarrassment.
Dina: "I, well. I suppose so. I mean..."
She turned away, her cheeks puffed up with irritation which only further charmed the drenched man.
Dina: "I just think your hair looks better like this. It's always up in that really stupid looking devil horn look, so it's just nice seeing it down & framing your face like this."
Vlad paused, not having expected that response.
He ran his fingers through his hair, pulling a lock so he could look at it curiously.
Plasmius could feel his cheeks heating up. He was suddenly feeling strangely self-conscious.
Vlad: "Do you... really think that?"
Dina: "I... think it makes you look very handsome..."
Biting his lip, he thought for a moment.
Vlad: "I suppose it has been a while since I changed my look. And you are the fashionista here, aren't you? I'll just stop applying hair gel in the mornings."
Dina: "You don't have to..."
Vlad: "Maybe not, but you've definitely proven that you have a better eye for these things than I & besides, it'll give me a bit more time to enjoy my mornings."
With that, he leaned down to plant a kiss upon her lips.
Vlad: "Night after next then?"
Breathless, Dina smiled.
Dina: "Yeah, see you at 7."
---
Maddie found an empty bottle of prenatal vitamins in the trash.
She had been taking the trash out to the dumpster & worrying about the poor woman who Jack had told her about. The one that'd been unfortunate enough to not only be ensnared by Vlad's dirty dealings, but also end up with the same mark as him. While Maddie was very thankful that the creep wasn't fixated on her anymore, it didn't stop her from feeling guilty that she'd managed to escape his gaze while this other woman obviously hadn't. Some part of her wondered who the poor woman was.
As she was about to close the lid, she glanced in & saw a picture of a baby on the side of a bottle.
Curious & worried, the ectologist dug it out & examined it, finding it to be exactly what she was afraid of.
It couldn't have been Jazz's, even though she'd mentioned having a new boyfriend in Gotham (Todd or something), because it'd been a week since Christmas (which only Jazz had spent with them; Maddie couldn't understand why the twins had left them alone for Christmas) & she left the day after; they'd taken out the trash since then, so it could only be Dina's bottle. Unless Sam had thrown them away during one of her visits, but she'd been under the impression that though they'd confessed & begun dating, Danny & Sam's relationship hadn't progressed that far.
Thinking about it, Maddie had noticed that Dina was eating more... & she'd been unusually sick lately...
---
Maddie called a family meeting. As she waited for everyone to get there, she paced the room.
Eventually, everyone was there &, immediately, Maddie turned on Dina.
Maddie: "Are you pregnant?"
Dina froze, while Danny & their dad turned to her, the eldest with shock & disbelief. She knew it would happen eventually. Why hadn't she headed it off at the pass?
Taking a deep, steadying breath.
Dina: "Yes, I am."
Her father's reaction was rather extreme. It almost looked like he'd been shot & was currently reeling from blood loss.
Jack: "Some punk knocked my baby girl up!? I'll kill 'em!!"
Her mother had a grim expression on her face.
Maddie: "For how long?"
Dina: "A couple months after I turned 18."
Maddie: "So, a little more than 3 months. Why didn't you tell us?"
Jack: "Forget that! What I wanna know is who was the irresponsible little brat that did this to my Dina-Baby!"
Dina: "Dad, it was an accident. I was taking the pill & he was using protection too. The condom just broke a few times is all."
Danny grumbled under his breath.
Danny: "You shouldn't have been having sex with him in the first place..."
Maddie squinted her eyes at how her son said 'with him.' Did he know who it was?
Jack: "I'm with Danno!"
Maddie: "Yes, it was a very bad decision to become intimate at all when you hadn't even gotten your acceptance letters back."
Dina: "Oh, like you 2 never had sex before getting married."
Maddie sputtered while Jack just grimaced.
Maddie: "T-that's different. We were in college & living on our own. Besides, this is about you, not us."
Dina: "Oh, so what's good for the goose, the gander needn't apply?"
Jack: "She's got a point Mads. I know I didn't abstain in high school & I wasn't as careful as she was. Who we should really be blaming is that punk what did this to her!"
Dina: "OmG, Dad! Stop! We're both equally responsible!"
Maddie: "Maybe, it'd be best if you got rid of it."
Dina was too stunned to say anything at first, though her dad seemed to sum up her reaction pretty well on his own.
Jack: "Maddie!"
Maddie: "What?! It's not like it'll feel any pain. It's little more than a clump of cells at this point. It won't hurt. And then, she can just go to college like it never happened!"
Dina's face turned red with anger.
Dina: "Mom, you know how I feel about that."
Maddie: "Oh, honestly sweetie! Enough with that spiritualist drivel. There's no proof!"
Dina: "Yeah, well that's pretty funny coming from a ghost hunter!"
Dina: "Sweetheart, ghosts have a scientific explanation. There's no proof that souls exist."
Dina: "What about soul marks? Scientists still haven't figured them out no matter what they do."
Maddie scoffed.
Maddie: "Of course, you bring that up. It's always the marks with non-secularists. Science has proven that they're a biological means of refining humanity's DNA sequence & getting out all the gunk."
Dina: "But that's not all it is! Science has also discovered that matches are undeniably connected in an intangible, unquantifiable way!"
Maddie: "Unquantifiable for now! You're father & I have made progress. Machines running on ectoplasm react faintly to the presence of these marks in a way that suggests a connection. Especially when 2 individuals bearing the same mark are near each other."
Dina: "And what do soul marks have in common with ghosts? Hm? Perhaps souls?!"
Maddie scowled.
Maddie: "Ghosts aren't people! They are the manifestations of post-human consciousness & don't think, let alone feel!"
Dina: "But they have soul marks too!"
Maddie: "A trick! One you've fallen for!"
Dina: "And what if it's not?? What if all they do is prove what I've been saying this whole time!? What if ghosts are sentient & sapient & you've been experimenting on thinking, feeling people?!"
Maddie: "This is getting us nowhere! We've gone far off topic."
Dina: "Don't have an answer, do you?!"
Maddie: "I SAID THAT'S ENOUGH DIANA SELENA FENTON-WALKER!! END OF DISCUSSION!!"
Dina growled low in her chest. She closed her eyes tight, knowing that they were glowing green with anger & frustration. She didn't open them back up until she felt they were back to normal.
Dina: "Fine..." She ground out.
Dina: "But even if you were right, which you're NOT, I still wouldn't get an abortion & that's the end of THAT discussion."
Maddie sighed heavily.
Maddie: "And why's that?"
Dina: "Because I would kill myself, if I did & then he showed up as a ghost just for you 2 to pull him apart like a frog in biology class..."
Jack & Danny recoiled, but Maddie was firm.
Maddie: "It wouldn't be-"
Dina: "I DON'T CARE! I'd see him & I'd know it was him & it'd absolutely crush me knowing what you'd do to him! I'm sorry that I can't completely disassociate my memories of people from their ghosts! I just can't!"
Maddie: "It's not that hard..."
Dina: "Then you do it! You've never been confronted by a ghost you knew in life, so let's see how you react! What if Grandpa Walker showed up as a ghost? What if me or Danny were ghosts?? Would you be able to rip US apart so easily!?"
Jack & Maddie looked at each other in shock, while Danny perked up, glancing at them in subdued interest.
Jack blinked wide-eyed with a deep, uncharacteristic frown on his face, but Maddie just grit her teeth & clenched her fists.
Maddie: "We would."
Jack snapped to look at her in disbelief & horror, mouth agape.
Maddie: "Even if it turned out souls were real & ghosts kept their souls after death. I'd still end you. I wouldn't be able to study the ghost because of our relationship when you were alive, but I'd end your existence all-the-same because I wouldn't be able to stand to see you so... utterly twisted."
Dina & Danny's expressions both showed brief despair then resignation.
Dina: "I suppose that I have nothing more to say then..."
Maddie: "Oh no! This isn't over! We still haven't figured out what we're going to do about this situation!"
Dina: "No, you haven't figured out what you're gonna do. I'm keeping him."
Maddie: "Dina!"
Dina: "I refuse to give him up! He's mine & I already love him!"
Maddie: "But you're not ready! A child is too big a responsibility!"
Dina: "Oh, as if you'd know anything about that!"
Insult broke out across the Fenton matriarch's face as if she's been physically slapped.
Maddie: "Excuse me??"
Dina: "You heard me! You ever wonder why Jazz & I are so independent & mature? We had to be because you were always too busy in the lab when you should've been up here with us!"
Maddie: "Wha-! How dare-! Our work is very important & you should know that by now!"
Dina: "More important than us, your children?! No! I'm tired of pretending that we're okay! I'm tired of pretending that you didn't just dump us on Jazz for days on end! She's the one I think of when we talk about our parents, not YOU!"
There was a long, wounded silence as the Fenton parents processed the statement. Jack in guilt & Maddie in anger. Both deeply hurt by her declaration.
Through gritted teeth, Maddie ground out, "Can you at least tell us about the father?"
Dina: "I'm definitely not about to tell you who it is."
Jack: "What? Why!? Is he threatening you!? I'll kill him!!"
Dina: "No, he's not! And that, right there, is exactly why I won't tell any of you! I can't trust you not to try & kill the poor guy! I don't need to have to bail your sorry butts outta jail!"
Maddie: "Oh, Sweetie. We won't kill him. We'll just make him wish he was dead!"
Dina: "Oh, like that's much better! Until I think that I can trust you not to threaten bodily harm on him, I won't say a word. And if you try to make me get rid of my baby again, I'm leaving & never coming back!"
With that, Dina walked out of the house with her mother's retort of "Where would you even go?!" Not even dignifying the woman with an answer, she went to complain to Vlad. He was sypathetic at least.
---
A couple nights after discovering her daughter was pregnant (mother & daughter hadn't spoken to each other since), Maddie noticed her daughter leaving the house all dressed to impress, so she had the Fenton Ghost Drone follow her.
She was going to figure out what bastard did this to her baby if it killed her.
It followed her through the snow when Dina met up with a familiar looking man with shoulder-length brown hair in a halfup do & hazel eyes behind circular retro sunglasses, a green turtleneck beneath the brown, fur-linned winter coat that she'd seen her daughter designing & the green & yellow Packers scarf that she'd knitted while spending time with her father. He looked like a hipster. Maybe a college student from Amity Community College.

Maddie didn't know where she'd seen him before, but she was sure that she had.
Had he been stalking Dina?!
Maddie grimaced, watching the man's eyes light up at seeing her daughter, a (creepy!) soft & fond smile on his face. He embraced the girl when she got close, resting his cheek on top of her head & closing his eyes for a moment, seeming to just breathe her in.
He then pulled back, lifting her chin up with his fingers & gave the teen a peck on the lips, sliding his hand up her jaw to tuck a hair behind her ear.
When they started talking, Maddie focused the drone's audio equipment on them.
Creep: "Hello, ангел мой." (Translates to 'my angel.' Pronounced 'angel moy.')
So, Russian or at least took Russian.
He had an Upper Midwestern accent, so he was from, at least, the general vacinity.
Maddie scowled, thinking his voice was slimy in a familiar way that sent shivers down her spine. That he was obviously conning her daughter & wondered how such a smart & level-headed girl couldn't see that.
Dina: "Hey, Hotshot. You ready for our date?"
Creep: "Absolutely. I'll show you the way."
His vernacular was casual & laid back. The mother of 3 hated it instantly.
The man gave the teen his elbow, which she took, & they were off.
Maddie had the drone follow them from a safe distance.
The drone followed them to a little Korean barbeque place. She watched on suspiciously as the man pulled out a chair for her daughter, then pushed it back in before going for his own seat like a gentleman (she laughed sarcastically at that), the pair ate & chatted, laughing merrily at some joke or another.
Her stomach twisted at how happy they looked together. Was she wrong? What if they really were in love?
Shaking her head, Maddie reaffirmed that even if they were, Dina was still too young for such a serious commitment. They should've waited.
---
After they left the diner, Maddie followed them as they walked.
She listened in as they talked, but it was mostly discussions of how their days went & different baking techniques/old recipes that should still be in use now.
Then, their conversation turned to Dina's college. Apparently, the man had rented a living space in Chicago so that they could be together when she went off to college. It was even worse than she thoughts!
Dina: "V-Dave. You know you don't have to do that..."
The newly dubbed 'Dave' just chuckled.
Dave: "But I want to. Let's be honest, Love. You've been my only real friend practically since we met 4 years ago."
That set off alarm bells in Maddie's head. They've known each other that long & she'd never noticed?
If they'd been friends for so long, did that mean he'd been at Casper High with Jazz?
Dave: "I know you want to wait before discussing marriage, but please, at least let me take care of you. You're an independant woman, I know, but I want to help you with the baby however I can. I just want the best for you both."
Maddie growled.
He suddenly became flustered, his cheeks tinting pink.
Dave: "And, to be completely honest with you, I don't know how I'd handle being without you for so long. Я не знаю, смогу ли я жить без тебя." (Pronounced 'YA ne znayu, smogu li ya zhitʹ bez te-BYA,' & translates to 'I don't know if I could live without you anymore.')
Dina: "B-but... what about... you know... your job?"
The way her daughter said 'job' raised all sorts of alarm bells inside Maddie's head.
Dave: "Everything would be fine. There's a branch in Chicago & it's not like they'll argue with me, now will they?"
So, did that mean he was in the work force? And fairly high up in his company if he can afford to just move ship without anyone caring.
Dave: "As for my 'other' job. Well, it's not like Amity's all that far. Not for us anyway."
The way he said 'job' was also was not comforting. Also, what did he mean by 'us?'
Dave then took her chin in his hand & turned her face to look him in the eye. His expression was soft, strangely genuine, & full of a melting warmth. To Maddie, it had an edge of something that spoke of a deepseated devotion boardering on a very familiar obsessiveness & it made her uncomfortable to see it directed towards her daughter.
Dave: "Я тебя обожаю, мой славный котёнок." (Pronounced 'ya tye-BYA aba-ZHA-yu, MOY SLAV-neey ka-TYO-nak,' it means 'I adore you, my sweet kitten.')
The date seemed to reach its end, the teen getting up on her tiptoes to plant a sweet kiss on her beau's lips, to which he responded by leaning down & wrapping her in his arms, then deepening it. Dina then encircled his neck with her arms, hand digging into the hair at the back of his head. This seemed to pull a happy hum from his throat.
Ending the kiss, they then nuzzled each other oddly by Maddie's opinion.
After that, they separated with a 'goodbye.' The man's eyes following the girl as she left with a loving expression on his face before leaving himself.
Maddie needed to end this 'relationship.'

Prompt 169
Danny is from a world where everyone has wings, even if most have long since lost the ability to fly. Something about loading and aspect ratio, wings being too small, body too heavy, now mostly used as display, whatever. 
It doesn’t matter even if he had blueprints from when he was like six of a jetpack to help fly. It won’t work anyway and hey, he has his ghost form! Which uh, might be perhaps, affecting his wings which were maybe sort of scorched black and practically down to the bone thanks to the accident. 
It doesn’t matter, he swears. Though he’s admittedly relieved to see the new feathers growing in are different from Dan’s angry sunset. Even if they’re not even supposed to be able to grow back. Alright, this is fine, no one is going to notice! It’s not like everyone knows about the poor Fenton kid whose wings were absolutely destroyed thanks to an accident! It’s fine. 
He’s not flying in a half-panic towards the Far Frozen while crying because his wings are coming back and he’s so scared. He didn’t panic and instantly fled the moment Jazz pointed them out while changing the bandages. 
He definitely didn’t trip over something while wiping away said tears and blacking out from all the stress and all of his problems that he definitely mentioned to someone and isn’t keeping a secret. Definitely. 
Hawkwoman and Hawkman would like everyone to know that neither of them were expecting a very small child to be spat out of the villain of that week’s machine that should definitely not be a portal. A very small child, maybe nine or ten, with a multitude of concerning wounds both old and fresh. Which isn’t even beginning to touch on the wings. 
Feathered, like baby down despite the gnarled scars, unlike their own metallic, with the beginning of tiny specklings like stars amidst the darker fuzz peeking from the wounded flesh. 
Who?! Who dared?! It’s (at least to the forever reincarnating duo) a literal baby! They still have down! Tiny baby fuzz! Was it the portal?! Oh this villain is going to taste their maces for causing this if that’s the case! 
The rest of the Justice League would honestly like to know what just happened and are honestly unsure on if they should stop the two…

[Part 1] [Part 2] [PART 3] [Part 4] [Part 5] [???]
Finally! Part 3 is here!! yippee!!! As a refresher, this takes place at the beginning of season 9, when Doc and Xisuma try to boot Etho back up after he shuts down pre-Season 8 Finale, set to the vibes of Joywave’s Destruction from DBHC Etho’s playlist! Ouguguh I’ve been looking forward to posting this part so much; it has some of my favorite shots so far… something about the grey-fade of Doc going into shock, something about the last two pages with xisuma and doc’s expressions… idk!! i really loved working on these :] Hope you’re enjoying the horrific, horrific ride!! =w=
As a partially insignificant but Special-To-Me note: Xisuma has always referred to dbhc doc as “Docm”— this is actually the first time X ever calls him “Doc.”
