Chapter Text
Today was the day I’ll tell my parents, tell them I’m Phantom. I had Sam and Tucker on speed dial and on standby in case something went wrong. I was ready!... I hoped. I calmly walked down the stairs to the lab and cleared my throat.
Trying to tame my anxiety, I have come out once, what’s one more time. Breathe, they will not kill me. Breathe. They might be mad but that’s ok. It can’t hurt me more than it hurts them learning years of lies. Breathe. If by the smallest chance they reject me and try to hurt me, all I have to do is dial four for Sam. She has Tucker with her. I’m safe with them.
Jazz is upstairs from college from visiting to make sure this goes well.
Mom looked up at me with a loving, gentle smile. "Yes, sweetie?"
I stuttered as I asked them. "He-y, there's something I need to tell you w-would you and Dad mind me coming down?" My parents’ concern and worry was evidently coming off of them in waves.
"Sur–” Mom was interrupted by a loud bang on the closed doors to the Fenton Portal.
"Open up! Ghost Zone Police!" The irritatingly familiar voice of Warden Walker boomed through the walls god not now.
I felt my blood boil at what my mom said next. "Ghosts aren't complex enough to have governments, much less police!" breath I tell myself.
"One last chance to come peacefully, Dr. and Dr. Fenton!" Walker threatened as a much louder bang slammed the door. Wait, my parents? What does he want with my parents, why them? isn't he always after me?
My dad jumped, grabbing an anti-ghost bazooka from under one of the research tables crying "not a chance spook!!!" And pointing it at the door. My mom pulled out her lipstick laser and quickly handed it to me.
"Better safe than sorry sweetie!" My mom said too sweetly after the vile things she just said about ghosts. Then she grabbed her ghost buster pistol and pointed at the door.
It then burst into a trillion pieces of shrapnel as what looked like 30 or so ghost zone police officers busted down the door. shit! I turn and look for a place to go ghost without being spotted. I need to save my parents no matter what they think of ghosts they just don’t know better.
All the officers pointed a mixture of ecto-rifles and batons at my parents,many rounds were aimed at my parents but none hit me. Strange and concerning, I got to figure out how to help them. Then busts in two ghost zone police department vans on standby with their back seats open ready for their prisoners.
My mom shot , first naturally, and got three guards with one pistol shot by carefully aiming to line two up at once and so ricochet through another before 6 officers jumped on her and roughly wrested her to the ground, cuffing her hands behind her back.
My dad shot and got three guards. After the cops cuffed mom, it took twelve ghosts to subdue and cuff him as well.
"Dr. and Dr. Fenton you are under arrest for child abuse, child endangerment, assaulting a minor with a dangerous weapon, and littering" Walker said with his smooth southern accent. "Daniel you are required to come with us, as you are being removed from your birth parents care, come peacefully or we will have to cuff you too." He said with a smug voice walking as if he owned the place towards me.
"Yeah and you what army?" I said as a total of thirteen officers jumped on me and cuffed me as I watched Walker walk over and sign some paperwork an officer held as he sighed and walked over to my parents.
"You have a right to remain silent. Anything you say or do may be used against you in a court of the Observants" he said, smiling with far too many teeth as he hit her hard enough that she went out like a light.
