Not Perfect, but Close Enough

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom

My last chapter, and I apologize that it is short, but it rounds it up pretty well.

Now, enjoy!

2 years later

"Bro, look out!" Lilith shots as her brother dodges an attack from Technus 3.0. Technus attacks again, the bolt of electricity landing squarely on Aiden's chest, sending him flying. Deshawn and Jaquelin attack and capture Technus while Lilith checks on her brother.

"He's unconscious. Help me get him home." Lilith sighs.

"Got it." Deshawn says.

"Mom's gonna flip." Lilith says as they fly back to their home. Aiden stirs midflight.

"You can let me go now." Aiden grumbles as they land.

"Planned on it." Lilith says checking her brother over again.

"I'm fine." Aiden says as he limps up the walkway.

"Sure you are." Deshawn chuckles before he and his sister leave.

"Aiden, are you alright?" Sam asks as she walks over to him and immediately starts to look him over.

"Yes mom, it was just a jolt from Technus, no big." Aiden says as his arm spasms. Sam gives him a questioning look before he sighs as shifts back to his human form and complies with his mother while Lilith follows in.

"I know, sit on the couch." Aiden says as he takes a seat and takes off his shirt. Lilith sits in the chair while their mother gets the first aid. Their father walks into the home.

"Who was it?" Danny asks, his eyes narrowing.

"Technus." Aiden says.

"That'll leave a nasty scar. I know from experience." Danny says.

"You know, its days like this when I question if it was a good idea training them and having them carry on the family trade." Sam says. Aiden and Lilith go wide eyed.

"Babe, we discussed this. We even asked them after they were fully trained before they received their names if they were for sure wanting to do this. We made sure several times." Danny says.

"I know." Sam sighs as she tends to her son's wounds.

The next morning

"Aiden, are you sure you should be going to school?" Sam asks as she gets her younger ones ready.

"Yes mom, look." Aiden says, showing his mostly healed arms and legs and chest.

"Ok." Sam says.

"Mom, look, I know you and dad worry about me. But I'm fine. I've taken pretty hard hits before and have been just fine. I'll be fine, I'll just be more careful next time." Aiden smiles as he leaves the house with his siblings behind him. After they drop off their children, Sam smiles to Danny.

"He is just like you." Sam laughs.

"What?" Danny asks.

"Oh, don't give me that look." Sam teases.

"How is he like me?" Danny asks.

"He takes on the weight of the world, he makes light of his own injuries, and just carries on as if it were nothing at all." Sam smiles.

"He gets that from you too you know." Danny chuckles.

That afternoon as Casper High

"Aiden, how ya feelin'?" Deshawn asks as the others look over at him.

"Sore as hell, but I'm fine." Aiden chuckles as a blue wisp comes out of his mouth.

"I am the Box Ghost! Fear me and my cubical wrath!" Box Ghost shouts.

"You know, my parents told me that he showed up all the damn time." Deshawn chuckles as they transform.

"Likewise. Let's whoop his ass." Aiden chuckles, unaware that both sets of parents are watching from the sidelines.

"Yup, he's just like you." Sam smiles.

"Hun, he like the both of us." Danny chuckles.

"I'll still worry." Sam says.

"And I'll worry about our boy." Val says to Tucker.

"I know, but he'll be fine. He knows to call us for back up." Tucker chuckles to Val.

"Besides babe, it's the Box Ghost, seriously, our youngest could handle him." Danny chuckles.

Sam smiles at Danny and then looks back to the two boys who capture the ghost and continue on with their day as if nothing had happened. She smiles at seeing this and looks to Danny again.

"You're right. He'll be fine." Sam says. Danny smiles to her, his hand resting on her hip, and pulls her close to him before they fly off, Tucker and Val right behind them, both sets of parents beaming with pride for their children.

"Dude, that didn't look like it was hard at all." Their friend's chuckle.

"It wasn't." Deshawn chuckles.

"It's the Box Ghost. My baby sister and baby brother could handle him using the bare minimum effort. Compared to yesterday, that was easy." Aiden smiles, seeing his parents fly off, smiling.

"Our family may be a bit on the crazy side, but it's ours." Danny smiles.

"It's the crazy families that are the closest knit." Sam smiles back at Danny, who simply nods his head in agreement.
