Daniel ‘Danny’ McReid

He/Him

23 years old

Hunter

Resistance - member (lives underground)

So What Happened?

Okay, so quick thing? When Danny was stabbed by Faith (she was compelled by Piper, remember?) and vampire blood was used to save him in the hospital... His knee injury- his college break/football dream ending- was healed. But by this time, Danny had decided that there was no going back to a normal life. He was a McReid hunter through and through.

Founder’s Day was supposed to be a good day. Yes, Danny knew that something was coming but he didn’t think it would be... He didn’t think it was going to happen so soon. Deep down, he hoped it wouldn’t happen at all.

Things happened quickly from then. The McReids had to go underground immediately being #1 on the ‘hit list’. Of all the things, it was a hell of a way to find out that his dad was Daniel Moore. And living together underground was a hell of a way to bond.

Danny took an active roll in the Resistance, stepping up to a be a leader. He trained harder than ever, took on missions, saved a few lives and supported his mom (and Aunt Krystal) along with Analese Huang the whole way.

A lot of little wins couldn’t beat the massive losses that they endured over the years. Pressure was mounting by the time they came up with the plan for November 2016. It was supposed to be a real shot to take the Bad GuysTM down for good but it was a trap. They never stood a chance.

Danny’s mom- Karen McReid- was...gone. Carrie and Ruby turned into vampires, Ruby leaving them all behind in the process. Jordan was locked outside the dome. The leader-like figures were gone and gone, leaving Danny standing there with the pieces.

He channeled his grief- he didn’t deal with his grief- into action. He kept the movement going, he tried to keep morale up. Above all--- he worked on getting revenge.

Basically, um, not a cool or groovy time right now!!

Wanted Connections

As ever, all the Resistance members & allies!! Would love people who have taken Danny under their wing/people who don’t take his leadership seriously (or didn’t until now etc).

Someone to talk him out of #revenge or encourage it...

Similarly to #1, anyone that Danny’s taken under his wing too!!

if you want to keep feeling important, I bet I could find some ex-fans of you to follow you around and cheer. Maybe we could all dress up like it’s…Sorry, what year did you win again? You know I didn’t go to high school here, right? And how long did Ruby and Carrie believe your terrible, awful lies about the lives and eating habits of their teachers? I hope for their sakes’ it wasn’t too long. Ugh, look, it’s not that big of a deal. Really, it’s not. I don’t know…We haven’t really talked about what it all is, and I don’t want to like assume anything and freak him out.

[ laughs ] Nah, nevermind. It was two-thousand-too-long-ago anyways but I bet the Honeybees have never forgotten it. They were real tense times, Charlotte. I guess you just feel like, I don’t know, part of the town? Does that make sense? Like, Havensdale’s just your home away from home and everybody knows your name. And business. Pros and cons around here. Huh, you know what I should probably ask them if they ever realised I was talking crap or not. They might think I have special, soul-sucking powers now I’m on the staff. [ grins ] Alright, alright, I get it. You’re in that awesome, new, ‘are thy gonna text me back and with how many kisses’ era. I won’t push. If he’s lucky enough to have you interested in him though, I wouldn’t worry about a thing.

Not just me. I think the entire town would be heartbroken. Like, national day of mourning. Well, not national because we don’t represent the entire country, but you get the idea, right? [shudders a little] That sounds awful. I always hated running into teachers in public. It just feels…wrong. And so so awkward. Teachers should stay in their classrooms, right? Yeah. Sorry I don’t have a better answer. Maybe you could try texting her? Unless she doesn’t check her phone often. I…I wouldn’t say that he was on my arm. Technically we were holding hands?

Now that’s a statement right there. I don’t think I’ve felt this important since we won the high school championship in senior year. Honeybees didn’t know what hit ‘em. [ laughs ] Oh yeah, way creepy. I told Ruby and Carrie when they were little that teacher’s lived in the school. And, uh, ate the soul’s of annoying kids but that’s not important. It’s okay, I should just, uh, chill out. You wouldn’t? That’s not what--- Oooooooooh, holding hands! Now we’re talking. You didn’t confirm or deny that he was super dreamy though. C’mon Charlotte, don’t hold out on me now.

[danny-mcr]

charlotte-the-confused​.

Danny, please tell me that was a joke. I’m honestly convinced that if you stepped outside you’d drown. And that’d be really sad. I think we would all miss your bright presence in our lives. Oh, I’m having a great time. It’s a bit weird to see all the grown ups out and about, but I don’t mind it at all. Do you want some? It is really excellent. Your mom? Uh, I don’t think so?

Well, I didn’t know you were gonna be torn up about it if I drowned in the rain. I guess I could stay a little longer, ‘least until it’s calmed down. Or someone lets me borrow an umbrella. Nice! That’s awesome, Charlotte. Oh yeah, way weird. Don’t get me started on the whole ‘teacher’s lounge’ thing again, I still feel like I’m not 10 years old in there. Mr Coop’s tuxedo tee is cool though. Nah, I’m good. Thank you though. Huh... she must’ve headed straight home after chaperoning or something. No big. Oh hey though, is it true you showed up here with some dreamy dude on your arm?

[danny-mcr]

Not to be the boring dude at the party but I was actually thinking about heading soon... Little rain’s got nothing on me. We once played a game in a muddy downpour and still kicked the Honeybee’s asses a hundred times over. I’m glad you’re having a good time though, Charlotte. And you, like, found the only good wine out there. Oh hey, you didn’t see my mom come in here did you?

Oh, this wine is amazing. Like, really amazing. As in, you have to have a sip. Or a glass. Maybe two glasses? I mean, we need to stay inside because of the rain.

[danny-mcr]

But we’ve known each other for awhile. I’d hope some of my good habits would rub off on you. If I can watch ten minutes of football, you can at least learn why champagne is the greatest. [watches the cork go flying across the room, trying her hardest not to laugh as it lands in someone’s glass] Of course. I always act cool. Have I ever been uncool? Thank you very much. I can share some of my secrets.

[ Laughs ] Okay, you have a point there. You’ve definitely done more for the sport than it’ll ever know. I’ll get one of those ‘champagne for dummies’ books ordered as soon as I’m home. And, uh, I’ll Google how to open ‘em properly too without almost taking out Mrs Cooper’s eye. [ Places a very grateful and dramatic hand over his heart ] I’m honoured, thank you. Are you planning on staying long at this party or is there an after after party?

Danny, I don’t know which is more worrying, that you own more than one Dido CD, or that you still use CD’s. I thought you were better than this, honestly. I don’t know, I always kind of had this crush on a guy who didn’t even take me on something close to a date until freshman year of college, so I’d say I definitely didn’t peak in high school. But totally speak for yourself and everything, if those were the greatest days of your life, then by all means don’t let me interrupt the memories [she laughs and winks so he doesn’t take her too seriously]. Babe, don’t forget that I failed at moving away, too. We all have dreams that we failed to achieve or whatever. We just have to move on and try to live our bliss in whatever way we can now. The past is just a building block for your life, not a blueprint. The future can be whatever you want it to be, okay? You act like you’re all totally zen about this, but I know you too well for that, don’t I? What, who are you trying to reconnect to anyway? Your favorite football coach?

I’m just being real with you, we could both be real criminals of the law right now. How very Bonnie and Clyde of us. You’re Bonnie, of course. I could see you wearing a string of pearls and flapper heels. [she couldn’t ignore the little jump her stomach did when he took her hand, like it was trying to jump up her throat or something] Would you really draw a protection circle with me? I thought you didn’t believe in all that stuff? Or is that only applicable when there aren’t federal authorities involved?

First of all, I’ll be taking zero criticism when it comes to Dido and her ability to speak to my soul, thank you very much. I will go down with this ship. Do not make me break out into song right now because I’ll do it. Hey, c’mon. I lost my iPod somewhere between my college dorm and the field. Oh yeah? Sounds like a real jerk who really took his time to get his act together. Must have been cute though. [ He laughed too ‘cause honestly, about a year ago he would have argued they were the best years but they weren’t - those were still to come, he was sure. ] Nah, high school was cool and all but it wasn’t that great. But Freshmen year of college... [ he winked playfully, foolishly as always. ] You... You are just way wise beyond your years, you know that? You were forsure, like, Athena in your past life or something. Or- Wait, maybe I mean Xena? Either way, you’re awesome. And you’re right, you know me too well to not pick up on my bullshit. Havensdale’s lucky to have you back, at least. Ha... I mean, Coach is still the best. I don’t know. Maybe I’ve just had one too many mini quiches, they’re going to my head.

It’s tempting, Bri. Oh, obviously. I’d rock the Bonnie look and you with the suit and the intimidating hat? Amazing. What can I say? I’m coming around to the weirder and more wonderful side of life. I might have to draw the line at ghosts but we could use a good protection circle right about now. I’m not at liberty to say. [ He flashed a grin, still holding her hand and trying not to think about running away with her. ] So, how long do you wanna stick around here before politely making a run for it?

[danny-mcr]

radiant-ruby​;

No, oh my god, stop. You’ll knock my crown!

You did not just say that. Danny! [ laughs ] If you go anywhere near that stage, I promise, you’ll be on the floor before you reach the mic. It’ll be real embarrassing in front of the football team.

I would never! I’m scandalized you’d even say such a thing. This right here? [ He booped her forehead ] Is precious, priceless, royalty.

Oh, I totally did. Okay, okay, messaged received. I don’t doubt you could kick my ass just as well in your prom dress, sash and tiara. Besides, I’d never do anything jeopardize my rep in front of the football team. Hasn’t enough happened already? We’re lucky to be getting outta here alive. Are you and the boyfriend heading to the after party then?

[danny-mcr]

piercing-shelley​;

Danny, how do you not know what champers looks like? I’m concerned about your upbringing. And yes, that is champagne. Open it carefully. It can…be excitable. [shakes her head] It was only minorly terrifying, but my mom can be worse.

I’m a lukewarm beer at an after game party kinda guy, Shell and at, like, Christmas I’m guzzling down sparkling apple cider. You’d be better off asking Fa--- Uh, someone else. Alright, here we go. Man versus--- [ and there was a POP! as the lid made its way across the room, oopsie... ] Shit. This was not supposed to happen. Okay, just act cool Shelley. We saw nothing. Damn, right. You’re a pro for dealing with scary moms. You should put that one on your resumé.

pip-pip-piper​ ★

Piper was blinded by rage. Imagine over three hundred years worth of atrocities running through your mind, remorse and guilt and devastation hitting you all at once. Imagine knowing that there was someone to blame for it all, someone to be held accountable for the terrible things you had done. Edward was no friend, no lover, no mentor to her. He had torn her life apart quite literally, blood raining on the shattered pieces of her life as she could do nothing but watch as the two people she had held closest died. Were murdered. It all led back to her maker, everything. For the first time in her whole life, Piper could see clearly. She could see the whole picture.

She wasn’t some broken bird desperately seeking comfort even if it was from a monster. No, she was finally fully in control of herself and her feelings. She knew what she wanted, she knew what she had to do. Her maker had to die. She’d cut his head off just to make sure he couldn’t crawl back out of the dirt once again. In hindsight however she really should have watched where she was going.

“In my experience, anyone with an axe in their hands doesn’t want to talk.”

Daniel McReid. The baby hunter. Her son. They’d tried to kill Piper before. Of course for him, her actions, her plans were far more personal than ever before. He was in love with Faith and Piper planned on turning her, had compelled her- had compelled her to stab him in fact. Clearly she wasn’t the only one who was hard to kill. Piper clenched her jaw, holding back the human urge to scream or lash out and instead lifted her chin in challenge.

“Well, if you’re going to do something,” she bit out, eyes burning, “You better make a move. I’m on a time clock.”

`*&,,

Danny already felt his righteous resolve slip. She was glaring at him, unafraid, unphased by the way he was holding her against the wall. He swallowed against the dryness in his throat. This didn't feel right. She just looked like any girl his age. He wasn't a violent person, he wasn't a monster but...but...she was, right? Who even knew how many hundreds of people she'd killed, how many people she'd turned.

Piper had manipulated Faith. Piper had hurt Faith. Piper was a vampire, she was dangerous and the longer she played around with Faith and he didn't do anything... He might as well be signing her death certificate.

Not to mention, Piper had been the one who compelled Faith to stab him. Probably meant for him to die. Hell, he would have died if he hadn't gotten that shot of vampire blood during surgery. Piper had no problem with that. She was going to kill him so why couldn't he get there first?

“You're a monster,” he said, voice hoarse as he gripped tighter on the handle of the axe.

Oh god, what was he doing?

“You- You hurt my--- You won't leave Faith alone. I know you won't. You're going to- to kill her, or worse and I can't let you. I can't let you.” Who was he trying to convince? He could feel her breath on his arms. It was hot and ragged. Human. Why did it make a difference? Vampires were dead so hunters could kill them? Or, vampires were evil so hunters could kill them?

It wasn't like Piper would be human by tomorrow if her 'time clock' comment meant anything. The playing field wasn't level. What chance did he stand against her then? Her heart was beating.

Then, quieter---“You're a monster.”

bri-barnes​:

Oh, your mom. She’s just so….mom-y. Honestly, I miss her. It’s weird, you know? The whole moving away from the small town you’ve always lived in, and then coming back to to have everything be so different. I feel like I haven’t seen so many people I used to see all the time. But I guess high school was the only thing keeping us all connected. [she sighs and waves a hand to dismiss that thought] Oof, was that like, super deep and moody for a party? Sorry, i guess I’m in my feelings or something. You can totally ignore me for the rest of the night if I’m killing your vibe.

Danny, I’m pretty sure you have committed tax fraud. Do you even know when taxes are due? Don’t ask me if you don’t know, though, cause I’m definitely as clueless as you are. Aww, I always want to hold your hand. [The note rings just slightly too true, and there’s a moment of awkward silence that hangs in the air between them before she speeds past it with all the grace of a bull in a china shop]. I would love to burn some sage, but I don’t even know where I would find some at this time of night. All the good stores are closed for the night, and my apartment is too far to go back to. I think I’ll just have to suffer. Suffer with me?

Super deep and moody, definitely but you are talking to a guy who  owns a lot of ‘Dido’ CDs so I’m cool with it. Besides, being nostalgic  on prom night is totally normal. That was our whole life for, like,  ever. At least that’s what it felt like at the time and now it’s not. [ He smiled, hesitating before offering a little shrug - he could be in his feelings too, or something ] I am also the guy who moved outta here, planned to never look back,  become a pro-footballer and, I dunno, die rich. Instead, I’m back here,  coaching my high school team. Subbing classes. Wearing a tie. Things don’t always work  out the way you think but that’s not a bad thing. And you can always  reconnect.  

[ Laughs ] Oh my god, no. Stop,  before someone hears us and we end up having to go on the run. Ha, yeah.  Yeah, of course I’ll suffer with you. Maybe we can draw a, um,  whatchamacallit, salt circle on one of the tables at least. [ Danny had heard it, felt the silence she was sure to gloss over at warp  speed. Felt the tug in his chest as he glanced down, failing to fight  off a smile. Everything was so complicated... And yet. He held her hand  anyway. ] Solidarity, right? We’re gonna make it forsure.

[danny-mcr]

piercing-shelley​:

Could you actually just get me a glass of champagne please? Like, something that’s actually fun to drink. Pretty please? Oh my god, tell me about it, Danny. It was harrowing.

Champagne, champagne, champ--- Um, is this...[ he held up an unopened bottle from one of the tables ]...champagne? I can open this. It seems bubbly, right? You’re genuinely so brave, I couldn’t have done that without faking an injury or something. She makes me feel like I’m in the principal’s office.
