Summary: Slight AU, since it happened after Phantom Planet, but Vlad didn’t run away to space and get hit by the disasteroid. Years of loneliness chipped away at Vlad’s mind and one day he finally snapped. He killed the woman he once loved, leaving Danny to be raised by his grieving father. After that, Vlad killed hundreds, leaving Amity Park in much the same state the unprotected world was in TUE. But Danny has some deep-seeded psychological problems himself and when it comes to Vlad, he’s far from unforgiving.
Danny went to the kitchen to put away the leftover pizza. His dad came down with a hopeful look in his eyes. “How did it go?” Jack asked.
“Fine.” Danny said, “We might hang out again.” Jack beamed and clasped a heavy hand on his son’s back.
“That’s great!” He exclaimed. He opened the fridge, “Ooo! Pizza!” He said, grabbing some and munching on it happily.
“Hey Dad? I’m going out?”
“This late?” Jack said, frowning slightly. Danny laughed.
“Come on Dad. I have worse things to worry about than missing curfew.”
“Well alright. Don’t stay out too long.” Jack said. Danny grinned and hugged his dad.
“I won’t.” He said. He grabbed his coat as he jogged out the door. Chuckling, Jack went back up to his room, pizza in hand.
As soon as Danny was out the door, he transformed and slipped on his coat. He flew up into the sky. Flying had always helped his stress. Plus, it was much more healthy than having a lot of sex. Which admittedly he did, but flying help cut down on the amount. It started to rain but Danny didn’t care. He grinned, laughing as he made loops in the air and flew upside down. He only laughed when he was alone. He blasted ecto-energy at trees and mailboxes, not caring if he woke people up, or blew up their belongings. He was having so much fun, he didn’t even notice the figure floating in his path way until he ran into it. “Oomph!” He grunted as he slammed full force into the figure. “Hello Daniel.” A velvet voice purred.
“Vlad.” Danny growled. Vlad clasped his arms around Danny.
“Why do you keep doing that?!” Danny said. Vlad laughed. His laugh was deep and low in his throat, like a growl.
“So you don’t struggle.” Vlad said, “And so I can do this.” He ran his hand down Danny’s chest and stopped just above his lower stomach. Danny shuddered.
“Don’t do that!” He shouted.
“Why not Daniel? You obviously enjoy it.” Vlad said.
“Fuck off. Fuck off. Fuck off!” Danny said, trying to struggle out of Vlad’s grip. He was getting sick and tired of the older man and his strange obsession with him.
“Such language Little Badger. You should really watch your mouth.” Vlad said, digging his sharp claw-like fingernails into Danny’s sides. Danny winced. “You’re going to get a cold out here in the rain.” He said. “Why don’t come home with me?” Vlad asked.
“Hm, don’t think so.” Danny said, Vlad smirked.
“You don’t have a choice.” He said. Fuck, Danny thought, I’m being kidnapped and taken all the way in Wisconsin? Dad is going to go out of his mind!
“No, Vlad! Wait!” He tried to go intangible, but Vlad short-circuited his powers with that infernal contraption of his and teleported them to his Wisconsin property. It was deep in snow and still snowing. “Damn! It’s cold.” He said, shivering. He should of known better to try and phase through Vlad’s hold. Every time he tried that trick in the past, Vlad zapped him with the invention that he had first used on the ghost boy in the woods five years ago. “Let me go!” Danny said, wriggling out of Vlad’s arms. The action caused him to fall backwards into three feet of snow. “God damn it!” Danny yelled. He tried to get up, but it was difficult. He was finally able to stand up, however unsteadily. Vlad smiled and pushed him back down. “Fuck!” Danny shouted. Vlad dropped to his hands and knees and crawled over to Danny.
“You use that curse word often. One may think it’s an offer.” Vlad said. Danny growled at him and tried to get into a standing position again. Vlad put a hand on Danny’s chest and pushed him down.
“Don’t touch me!” Danny snapped. He was getting sick and tired of being in the cold and wet, but he knew he wasn’t going to get out of it until Vlad was good and ready to let him out.
“I’ll do whatever I damn well please with you.” Vlad said. Danny groaned and closed his eyes in frustration. He let his head fall back in the snow. God, how he wished he would die right now. Here, in the freezing cold. He felt arms wrap around him and the feeling of being lifted. His snapped open. Vlad was carrying him to his mansion. He didn’t bother struggling; he knew it was futile. Vlad reached his door and opened it, stepping inside. A wall of warmth hit Danny. Vlad put the boy on the couch. Danny shot up and bolted for the door, but Vlad appeared in front of Danny. He locked the door and de-transformed. Vlad put his hands on Danny’s shoulders and led him back to the couch. “Please, accept my hospitality.” Vlad said. It was more of a forceful demand than a request. Danny reluctantly sat down. He didn’t want to be here, but his powers were down for a few more hours. He wasn’t sure he’d survive a fight against Vlad. The other halfa sat down next to him, “I can’t tell you how happy I am to have you in my home again.” Vlad said sincerely. Danny leaned his head on his hand, elbow resting on the arm of the couch. “I don’t know why you won’t join me. I could be a much better father than that buffoon, Jack.” He said. Danny gritted his teeth, refusing to answer. Vlad reached over and played with Danny’s ponytail. He flinched, but still did not respond. “Your hair is so long now.” Vlad said fondly. “Daniel?” Vlad asked. Danny grunted. “I love you.”
“Yeah? Well, I hate you.” Danny couldn’t help it, the words just slipped out. The hand that was stroking Danny’s hair froze. Shit, I’m fucked now, Danny thought. Vlad stood up, thunder in his eyes.
“I’ll be right back.” He said through clenched teeth. Danny sighed. Vlad left the room. He came back a half an hour later, holding a mug of cocoa. He gave it to Danny. “Drink.” He said. Danny had no idea why, but he was compelled to listen. Almost as soon as he sipped the liquid, all his muscles tensed up. “F-fuck.” He said. His muscles relaxed, but too much. He lost all feeling. “Wh-wha?” Danny said. He felt dizzy and he couldn’t move. Vlad pet Danny’s cheek.
“I drugged you, if it wasn’t obvious.”
“Oh.” Danny’s brain was a bit fuzzy. Vlad approached Danny and kissed him. Danny groaned, “D-don’t.” Vlad just grinned.
