Danny gets invited into a robotics/mechanics club after he mumbled out the basic idea of his parent's latest invention just by looking at it, the name did help.
He doesn't have much of a choice to recognize what an invention can do based off of its look for his safety.
So mechanics and engineering he just starts picking up from his parents through association.
At some point, he has to modify one because it hurts both humans and ghosts.
His parents are so caught up on the fact that it hurts ghosts as intended that they completely miss that it hurts humans too, severely.
Danny, and Tucker when needed, start modifying the weapons for people's safety. Which Danny gets really good at and starts taking his parent's blueprints and building safer, and mostly better, inventions.
So, when this new classmate overhears the trio discussing on how to fix it. They think Danny would be a great addition to the club, and when they bring it up at their next meeting, everyone else either doesn't believe them or is joking.
Due to gossip and high school hierarchy (by Casper standards), Danny is a freak, loser, and stupid.
This classmate brings Danny's intelligence to himself and tries to urge this kid to come to the club one day after school.
Danny downgrades his own intelligence on engineering that the classmate is befuddled, until being at Casper for longer they understand on why this is.
A school event has this classmate trying to strike high praise on Danny, but even his parents kind of bat him aside to talk about ghosts.
People start gossiping that this classmate has a crush on Danny.
Eventually, they do get Danny to a club and the rest of the members kind of call him out on his crush, in front of Danny. However, he does prove himself and the club agrees to invite him to some kind of multi-school engineering showcase, and they do need one other person to make a full team.
He really doesn’t want to go. Somehow his parents are pushing him to go. At some point, somehow, he's being required to go.
Maybe Tucker and Sam urge him to go, who already noticed Danny's talent. He still doesn't want to leave Amity, but with his friends pushing him to have fun he's more willing to think about it.
Maybe the trip becomes a 50/50 extra credit opportunity on his math and science grades, which he needs.
Marvel: Tony, Peter, and/or Banner are at this event to find future employees or award scholarships.
DC: Bruce and/or Tim are at this event (maybe another as well), to also find future employees or award scholarships.
Maybe there's some kind of lead revealed during this event that helps a case.
They find Danny being isolated by the club except for the classmate and they're curious on why.
The classmate is giving high praises, gifting information that Danny doesn't want revealed, to these people who will actually listen.
This team gets challenged to build something different.
The classmate turns to Danny to help out and he gets invited by the rest, but he doesn't get a say...
Danny sees something wrong and tries to say something, but no one let's him get a word in..
When the build gets judged, it doesn't work. Danny with random parts in hand, fixes it on the spot adding a little touch that makes it work and then some.
He gets high compliments from these very smart people, but he brushes them aside. Not realizing what he did, he'd just really wants to get back to Amity.
While the event is still going on, he gets pulled aside to look over a project or design and he can tell what needs fixed or how to reroute power better (purposeful mistakes meant to challenge him).
Here he is, at an event for school, being given complements and not really noticing.
These people very curious on who this kid is goes searching. Maybe the club kids tell the not-paying-attention-club-advisor that he did nothing.
Maybe the one doing the complimenting calls the school and, petty tattles on the club, gives full praise and offers a scholarship.
Someone can be so focused on either working on what they want to do or what they have to do (in Danny's case), that talent found isn't recognized even if highly complimented by an expert.
The mental image of Tim inviting Danny to the manor to help out with a WE project, and Tim is trying to get him to recognize his own talent. Bonus points if its vigilante associated (like Nightwing's eskrima sticks malfunctioning and sleep deprived Tim can't figure it out). Bonus points if the rest of the family are there over seeing.
Maybe he can't be an astronaut anymore cause he doesn’t fit certain requirements. Maybe he can still work for NASA despite his grades, he fixes a missed problem that would've made the rocket launch unsuccessful, and it was a last-minute change.

Me making an OC to ship with Miguel:
Haha wouldn't it be cool and cute if she were 4'11 I mean that's average for her people plus like a super feminist fuck you by making a 'short' woman the ruthless warrior in the situation and-
Me now trying to figure out how the fuck they're gonna 'suddenly' kiss:
what she gonna do? Stick to his chest and climb him like a rock wall?? look for the nearest flight of steps every time?? Him picking her up is weird and him squatting is theoretically funny but really rude so wtf-
HOW DO I????
I made Moche 4'11 cause that's AVERAGE where she's from like yes go short girlboss go
But-
He can't even KISS THE SIDE OF HER HEAD ARE YOU KIDDING ME what kind of freak of nature is this man
She could be standing right in front of him in both of these photos but you wouldn't know. You can't see her but she's there with the exact same pose looking just as bored except he's TOO BIG FOR YOU TO SEE HER WHEN SHE'S NOT EVEN THAT SHORT
SOLUTION:
Miguel kisses Moche's hand in greeting and people think it's cute and gentlemanly
but it's really the fact that there's no other way for them to kiss without one of them having to manhandle the other to some degree
BUT IF ANYONE HAS ALTERNATIVE IDEAS PLEASE LET ME KNOW I'M DYING

[10:54] [lowercase]
thinking about Steven Grant, who has never experienced love before and everything is so new to him that it can be a bit overwhelming.
thinking about Steven Grant getting worried you will leave him when he makes the tiniest mistake, therefore making him more skittish around you.
thinking about Steven Grant breaks down into a full-on crying and apologizing rant because he did something uncharming in front of you.
thinking about how Steven Grant melted to your touch.
when you caress his face.
when you smooth out his hair.
and when you rub your thumb over his shaky hand.
thinking about Steven Grant realized you will always be there for him.
thinking about Steven Grant understand there is no need to be perfect in front of you.
thinking about Steven Grant finally letting you hug him.
thinking about Steven Grant accepting love....for the first time.
