A/N: Here you go: Doris' visitation. :)

Kono opened the door to Steve and Danny's house when Doris arrived for her "visit".

"What are you doing here?" Doris demanded.

"I'm the court-appointed officer. I'll be supervising your visit with Matt and Steffie," Kono replied.

"That's not fair!" Doris protested. "You're biased!"

"I assure you I am quite capable of being impartial," Kono said coolly, "and I have no telepathic bond with either child, so I can't influence them that way."

Doris wouldn't let it go. "Why you?"

"The judge felt it would be best for the children to have someone present they knew, as well as to be in their home environment." Kono stepped aside. "Now, are you going to keep bitching, or are you going to come in and meet your grandchildren?"

Doris gave Kono one last glare, then swept into the house, arms wide open, fake smile plastered on her face. "Where are my darling grandchildren?" she trilled.

"Oh, that's going to over well," Kono muttered as she closed the door.

Sure enough, Matt just stared at her blankly from where he was playing with his toy dragons on the coffee table. "Who are you?"

Doris was unphased. "I'm your grandma!"

"No, you're not," Matt said. "Grandma's in New Jersey."

Doris faltered slightly. "I'm your other grandma. I'm Steve's mother. Now, come give me a hug."

"I'm not supposed to hug strangers," Matt said, not moving.

"I'm not a stranger; I'm family," Doris said.

Matt hesitated, looking at Kono. "It's alright," Kono said. "Go ahead."

Matt made a face. "Do I have to?"

"No, Matt, you don't have to do anything you don't want to," Kono assured him.

Doris shot her a dirty look. This was not going as planned. Giving up on Matt for the moment, she swooped towards Steffie who was lying on a blanket by the couch. "There's my darling granddaughter! Come say hello to Grandma!"

Steffie gave a surprised squeak and scooted back on the blanket. Matt inserted himself between Steffie and Doris. "Leave her alone."

Doris' mask slipped. "Why, you little. . ."

Kono swiftly interjected. "Matt, remember what your dads said. You're supposed to be on your best behavior."

Matt scowled but reluctantly moved aside. Doris picked up Steffie and cuddled her. "There's Grandma's little angel. How are you sweetie?" She tickled Steffie with a finger. Steffie grabbed the finger and squeezed. Hard. It wouldn't have been a problem if she was human, but she was a dragon, and she had a lot of strength in those little hands, even in human form.

"Ouch!" Doris exclaimed, trying to extract her finger from Steffie's grip. "Let go you little. . ."

Kono sniggered.

Doris leveled another nasty look at her. "You're supposed to be the court-appointed officer. Help me, why don't you?"

Kono took pity on her. "How about we all go out on the beach? How does that sound?" she asked, addressing Matt.

Matt smiled for the first time since Doris' arrival. "I like the beach!" he said.

Doris' mask was back in place. "I think that's an excellent idea. Why don't I help you get ready."

The scowl was back. "I can do it yourself."

Doris backed off. "Okay, I'll just get Steffie ready."

Soon, they were all set and headed out to the beach. Kono made herself comfortable in one of the chairs at the edge of the lawn, and Doris and the kids went closer to the water. Doris laid out a blanket for Steffie, and she and Matt waded into the water.

Matt splashed happily around, and Kono started to relax. The visit had gotten off to a rough start, but maybe it would be okay.

Soon, Steffie got bored and shifted into dragon form. She picked her favorite ball up off the blanket and trotted over to Kono with it. "I can't play with you today. Why don't you go play with your grandma?"

Agreeably, Steffie trotted over to Doris and Matt in the waves. She nudged Doris' leg with her nose.

Doris looked down. "Steffie, what are you doing here? Go back on your blanket right now!"

"She can be in the water if she wants," Matt said. "She comes in with Daddy and Danno and me all the time."

"Nonsense," Doris said. "It's not safe. Now do as I said, young lady! And shift back into human form!"

"She doesn't have to shift," Matt said. "Daddy and Danno let her be a dragon if she wants."

"But what if someone sees?" Doris said, horrified.

"Daddy and Danno say it's fine as long as we're at home. We just can't do it in public."

"I don't know what your fathers are teaching you," Doris said, "but that's unacceptable. You live in a human society. You need to learn how to be human." She reached for Steffie. The baby dragon hissed and backed up. "Come here, you," Doris snarled.

Once again, Matt inserted himself between his sister and grandmother. "Get away from her! You're scaring her!"

"I'm not scaring her," Doris insisted. "I just want her to do as I say." She reached for Steffie again.

All of a sudden, she was confronted with a 10-foot long purple dragon baring it's fangs at her. "Now, stop it!" Doris said. "I thought Kono said you were supposed to be on your best behavior." She took another step forward. A clawed foot swiped out at her, not intending to connect, but in clear warning.

In a flash, Kono was between them. "That's enough."

Doris backed off, and Matt hid behind Kono, sticking his head over her shoulder to hiss at Doris.

"Thank you," Doris said. "Maybe you can get them under control."

"I think this has gone far enough," Kono said. "This visit is over."

"You can't do that!" Doris said. "I'm entitled to a full day!"

Kono ignored her, whipping out her phone. "Danny? It's Kono. I think you and Steve had better get home now."

"You're violating my rights!" Doris yelled. "I'll tell the judge!"

"As court-appointed officer, I'm well within my rights to terminate the visit if there appears to be any danger," Kono said.

"I wasn't going to hurt them!" Doris protested.

"I wasn't worried about them," Kono retorted.

They were still arguing when Danny and Steve tore up a few minutes later. Danny leaped out of the car and was halfway down the beach before Steve had the engine off. He took one look at the scene and rounded on Doris. "Just what have you done to my children?" He demanded.

"Me?" Doris protested. "I didn't do anything. I was just trying to instill a little discipline in them, something you have clearly failed to do."

"You're not here to instill discipline," Danny said angrily. "You're just here on a simple visit to get to know your grandchildren!"

By this time, Steve had reached the little group. He put his hand on Danny's shoulder soothingly. "Calm down, Danny. You're upsetting the kids."

Danny looked at him in disbelief. "I'm upsetting the kids? I hardly think I'm the problem here."

"Just help me calm them down," Steve said.

Danny leveled a finger at Doris, who was still looking indignant. "I'm not done with you."

He knelt down in front of Matt. "Hey, it's okay, buddy. I didn't mean to upset you. Everything's okay."

Matt looked at him doubtfully. "I promise," Danny assured him. "Nobody's going to hurt you."

Matt shifted but remained in front of Steffie. He pointed at Doris. "She might."

"Hey!" Doris exclaimed. Kono quelled her with a look.

Danny remained focused on Matt. "She won't," he promised. "I won't let her. Now, why don't you go up to the house with Daddy, and I'll take care of the mean lady."

Doris looked like she was about to respond, but one glance at Kono, who looked like she was about ready to go for her gun, stopped her.

"Okay," Matt said finally. He put his hand in Steve's. Steve reached for Steffie, who was still cowering behind Danny, but the panicked dragon backed away.

"Shh, sweetie, it's okay. It's just me," he crooned. Finally, she approached him and let him pick her up, where she immediately shifted and started wailing.

"You can't do that!" Doris shrieked.

Danny crossed his arms. "Oh, I think you'll find we can."

"You're violating my rights! I won't let you do that!"

Danny narrowed his eyes. "Are you challenging me?"

"Yes!" Doris said, shifting into half-dragon form. Danny followed suit.

"Steve, get the children up to the house," Danny said.

Steve hesitated. "Can't Kono. . ."

"No. You're the only one who can keep them calm right now. Kono can observe."

Steve knew in a dragon challenge that was an official requirement—someone to make sure the challengers obeyed the rules. He wished he could do it, but it wouldn't be appropriate since he was connected to both of them, and Danny was right; the children needed him. "Don't hurt her," he pleaded.

"I won't if she doesn't," Danny said grimly. "Now, go."

Steve left reluctantly, leaving the two combatants on the beach. Doris circled Danny, looking for an opening, while he just watched her. At last, she took a swing. Danny blocked it and took a swing of his own, which Doris dodged. They circled some more, occasionally throwing jabs at each, neither getting the upper hand. Then Doris rushed Danny. He sidestepped, and she lost her balance. Quick as a flash he was on her, pinning her, arm twisted behind her back. "Yield," he demanded.

"Never." She twisted out of his grasp and transformed into a full dragon, towering over Danny, hissing threateningly.

"Hey, that's illegal!" Kono cried. She didn't know much about dragon combat, but she knew full shifts weren't allowed.

"She's right," Danny confirmed. "You forfeit. I win. Your rights are hereby revoked. I suggest you leave, now."

Doris just hissed and didn't budge.

"Need I remind you you are now officially trespassing, and I am now officially defending my territory. That means the usual rules don't apply." He shifted to make his point. He was smaller than Doris, but no less threatening.

With a final hiss, Doris relented and shifted back. Danny followed suit. "You haven't heard the last of this," she promised.

Danny was unmoved. "Oh, I think we have. I think a judge will agree that you have proven you're not fit to be part of our children's lives. Now, for the last time, go."

She went. Danny went up to the house to find Steve and the kids while Kono picked up their stuff from the beach. He found Steve and Matt at the coffee table playing dragons, and Steffie lying on her blanket again. He reached out with his mind. None of them were happy, but at least they were calm.

Matt and Steve looked up as he came in. "Is the mean lady gone?" Matt asked.

"The mean lady's gone," Danny said, picking up Steffie and settling onto the couch with her. She curled her fist into his shirt, clearly seeking comfort, and he cooed softly at her.

"For good?" Steve asked.

"For good," Danny confirmed.

A/N: So the original intent was a physical confrontation between Danny and Doris, but I decided it was poetic justice to let the kids have their say. But, popular opinion was definitely for a Danny v. Doris face off, so I decided why not both? :) Hope you liked it!
