#Danny's parents; in the basement: 😱

[mutable-manifestation]

So this post sparked a Thought

What if, when the portal turned on, Danny was caught in the middle?

And I don't mean "what if he was in the portal" - he was

what if he was caught?

When Kitty gets stuck in the portal she needs help to leave, needs to posess Jazz as her in between

The portal spat Phantom out

What if Fenton stayed?

What if Danny Fenton's body lays unseen in that portal every time he is in ghost form?

And what if, every time his in human form, his ghost half is there instead?

What if the portal is his Schrodinger's Box.

What if he can only be either in turns, form always caught at the place where he died.

I've seen takes where the portal turns off and they find Fenton's body floating there

What if they turn it off to find Phantom

The portal turns off - who knows why, maybe sabotage, maybe someone finally realized deactivating the portal to hell would probably stop the constant slew of attacks - and they find Phantom.

Phantom stands, perfectly still inside the portal.

He doesn't react to the change, eyes unseeing, body unmoving.

One of his hands lies on the portal wall, the other clutches at his chest.

His dead, dead eyes (and the Fenton's try to tell themselves he was always dead but this is somehow worse) unseeing, face contorted in a final, silent scream.

He looks like he'd died here.

Standing their portal.

Screaming.

It's their turn to scream when, in a flash of light, their precious son is standing in his place.
