#vigilantes: this twink is our only chance of survival

[noxcheshire]

It took me a second to realize what the first bit said cause my brain kept trying to add things to it and mix things around.

And then finally realized that it said “this Earth”, meaning that Danny is in another universe, obviously DC universe and all, attending school without worries of ghost related things outside of the designated visits.

But let’s go back for a second the first prompt and assume that everything is occurring on the same planet, real time.

So Danny is now a college aged student who decided to try out a normal, civilian life with his animal support dog Cujo who refuses to leave his side. The two of them are having the time of their undead and half-dead lives, without interruption aside from the ghastly exams that come at the end of each semester.

Danny who, while no longer fighting his rouges with the intent to throw them back into the Ghost Zone portal like his very existence depends on it, still does use his ghostly powers for the most mundane of things.

He needs something on a top shelf of his kitchen he can’t reach? Floaty time. There’s a weird sound in the wall of his bathroom? Phasing time. His neighbor two doors down is keeping the entire apartment level middle, up, and down, awake due to excessive music at 4am on a weekday? Haunting time.

Especially in the comfort of his home, Danny is the most relaxed about his ghost powers. Using them without hesitation, after all, it’s his apartment, and it’s his safe space.

Outside of it, he is more cautious. The only times he’ll use his powers outside of his home is if he needs to either disarm a would-be thug, to pass through short cuts that wouldn’t be possible for any one but an animal, and take Cujo out for walks.

But recently he had noticed… the stalkers.

He assumed they were vigilantes by the get up, or some very interesting villains.

Honestly, Danny didn’t really pay much attention to hero-villain news once he left Amity Park. Aside from a vague ‘oh so there are other heroes’, Danny had more or less ignored it. He had more important things to do. Like being a college student.

That status quo had been the same for a good while, long enough to even be a routine. Then the stalkers happened.

And despite his best wishes, they were not going away.

Once realizing this, Danny reluctantly, searched for answers.

It was indeed vigilantes. But not the local ones of the area. Unexpected, considering Danny hadn’t done anything nefarious and strange to have garnered local or non-local vigilante eyes.

… at least he was sure he hadn’t.

So why was he being monitored like this?

And they followed, everywhere he would be or could be — they would be there. Like an unfortunate shadow. A very human shaped, hero shadow.

It was making him itch.

Even worse, poor Cujo had not been given his walks! The poor pup was getting restless from the lack of stimulation.

So Danny decided to scoop the little guy up, flew out invisibly while passing a camping vigilante, and headed towards the most secluded park available.

It was dark too. Dark enough that no one would question the fact Danny hadn’t visibly left his apartment. Dark enough that Danny could use his ghost powers to play with Cujo, blue eyes burning green and hair playfully tugging white at the ends.

Cujo let loose in his entirety.

Danny as well felt himself relax for the first time in a while.

So much so, that Danny and Cujo ended up taking a long nap at the base of a tree, curled up in the shadows and away from any prying eyes that might spot them at first glance.

This is how a panicked JLD and the local Bats found Danny Fenton and his animal support dog Cujo sleeping underneath the cooling limbs of trees and brush. Said dog who is a ghost, and who so very obviously had chosen Danny as his Haunt.

Danny Fenton, the physical Haunt for a mighty ghost dog, a ghost dog who was currently the only thing stopping worldly destruction because it decided it liked something on this Earth enough to Haunt it.

Danny Fenton, the physical Haunt for a mighty ghost dog, a painfully human college boy who had been in an accident at 14 and with a fragile heart ever since. This Danny Fenton who had been noted by medical records to be more fragile than his peers, and more than likely to develop other medical issues due to that accident.

By all purposes the kid was a walking hazard ready to keel over. And by god were they going to try and keep him safe.

Maybe next time they should put a tracker on him though.

John and JLD are up against a threat from the infinite realm. When the being goes to declare their plans to destroy the planet. The being suddenly comes to a halt.

Apparently there is a single ecto entity that has a haunt on this planet. So they can’t flat out destroy the planet, that would just be rude.

Upon an investigation. As they are definitely gonna scout out who the ecto entity is at the minimum. They find none other the Cujo.

Seeing as it’s quite common for ecto animals to claim an ecto being in the realm as their “haunt”. The JLD assume Cujo, who is asleep on Danny, claimed Danny as his.
