Dash walked absentmindedly down the street, his mind was currently being occupied by amitys current events. It had been the talk of the town, the tragedy that struck their city, everywhere Dash went whispers of ' did you hear about the explosion,' 'Those poor people ,' ' Those weird folks...yeah know they died' , Dash couldn't stand it anymore. Anger was bubbling inside him, he couldn't understand people fascination, they talked as if it was a tv series. No remorse for the families struggling, no remorse for the Fenton's, Masons, and Foleys.

Even Mr. Lancer.

Gosh,Dash didn't even wanna think about Danny, he must be hurting badly, to experience something like this, Dash would never understand the pain he was going through. Kicking a small pebble on the ground Dash watched as it bounced away.

His eyes finally glanced up and when they did they soften at the figure. A homeless boy curled up just outside his house, if his mother had seen this she would freak. Rushing passed the boy and inside he later returned with a blanket. " Hey man you can't sleep here, I don't want to kick you somewhere---" Dash froze, his eyes grew wider than the sun.

Danny Fenton, the lost child;even if it had been only two almost three days, was laying in front of His house, and he wasn't looking so great. Rocks from the concrete ground where embedded into his arm, his hair stuck to his forehead, the clothes he's wearing were sticking to his tiny frame. " D-Danny." Dash uttered in shock, he couldn't believe it, out of all the people Dash had been the one to find him. " Omg man everyones been looking for you." Dash lied, no one other than Kwan and Him and a little but of Valarie was but Dash wanted to make him feel special, at least right now.

" Hmmm yeah." He said groggily, offering a small smile at dash in return. However Dash being such a good detective, one that would rival Batman, Dash concluded Danny wasn't well. Feeling Danny forehead he jerked his hand away, Danny was ice cold " Geez Fenton, what's the matter with you your sis...." He paused deciding not to finish that sentence.

Shaking his head Dash wrapped Danny in the blanket, picking the tiny boy up Dash coddled him into his chest. Holding onto him tightly Dash decided on going to the Fenton's household instead of his for obvious reasons of course.

•---•

The walk to Fenton's house from Dash house wasn't as far as Dash thought it was. Though it brought up emotions Dash didn't want to deal with. emotions about all those times he had been shitty to Danny and his friends, all those times he had been jealous, stupid or just self absorb. Having no one to blame but him himself of course. " Don't worry Fenton, we gonna have you back to your old self in no time. " Dash squeezed him with reassurance. Danny winced, burrying his face further into dashes chest. Dash smiled down at Danny, not in a million years had Dash thought he would be coddling danny like a baby, but here he was.

Standing in front of the Fenton's household, Dash eyes darted from the door to Danny. " Well I didn't think of this." He chuckled light-heartedly, not wanting to put Danny down, Dash inhaled a deep breath, taking few steps back , turned his back towards the door and rammed into it.

It didn't budge on the first try, so he tried again, than again, than again...
.
.
.

And on the last try the door swung open, " HA HA." He cheered victoriously.

Glancing around the house Dash mood deteriorated, flicking on the light beside him the place instantly lit up. Dash gracious nobody turned the power off, he didn't want to ponder too much on the Fenton's so instead Dash made his way upstairs. Searching for Danny's room, he took a wild guess and swung open the first door he saw.

" Ooh wow." He exclaimed, his eyes lighting up at the sight. The walls were littered with space posters and music bands, the ceiling had been covered in stars that glowed in the dark. Dash felt his stomach churn, he felt wrong invading Danny's personal space.

Gently setting danny on the bed Dash went looking for the bathroom, guessing from the rain Danny probably had a fever, if not, Dash was sure a nice warm bath was needed for the boy.

Setting everything up, Dash let the water fill the tub up, well everything was set up, Dash went to retrieve danny from his deep slumber. Entering the room Dash halted in his tracks, " Oh your awake, well that saves the hassle of waking you up." Dash lightly joked.

" What are you doing here." Danny question seemingly out of it.

Dash chuckled at his blatant bluntness , " You don't remember." Dash questioned concern lacing his voice. Dad made his way over to Danny, raising his hand to feel for Danny's temperature. Danny flinched at the action. Dash had noticed this and instantly retracted his hand away. Putting distance between Danny and himself , now standing a few feet away onto the other side of the room in the hung his head in shame.

Danny looked away from the boy, his cheeks turning a light shade of red, shaking his head danny said in a sarcastic tone, " I wouldn't be asking if I remembered."

" I was only asking." Dash replied running his arm in embarrassment. A habit he had picked up long before.

Danny rolled his eyes " And I was only answering." He snarled.

Crossing his arms over his chest Dash was just about done with the boy. " Glad to know you still got your mouth." Dash muttered under his breath.

Danny had heard this and it made him furious, because Dash didn't have to be here. " If you didn't want to deal with me than why are you here." Danny asked crossing his arms over his chest mocking Dash. He couldn't deal with this right now, his head felt like it was about to explode with every sound, his stomach was eating him alive and to top it off his body felt drained, all he wanted was to head back to sleep. At least there Danny felt at peace.

Danny looked up at Dash, gripping onto the bed till his knuckles turned white he waited for the boys response.

" I'm sorry, I'm sorry for every shitty thing I 've done." He began " I'm sorry for treating you like shit, and I know no amount of sorry's makes up for any of my actions." Dash looked down in shame " no explanation would explain my wrong doings, all I can do is ask for your forgiveness. But what ever you tell me im not leaving in till I know your safe and healthy, I'm here because Danny you need someone, you might not admit it or acknowledge but everything you're going through you can't go through it alone."

Danny let out a shaky breath, running a hand through his hair he let the tears that were welling up fall. Dash had been right. As much as he didn't want to admit it his family was gone, he had no one. Everything was slowly coming back to him and it had all been too much, everything, he had just wanted to be left alone, alone in his made up fantasy where his family was still here. Where tucker and sam where alive and Dash was still his bully. But nothing last forever. That's what life been teaching him, excepting life to remain the same is like floating in the ocean and thinking your in the exact same spot.

So instead danny wiped his tears with his sleeve, setting aside those feelings for now, he outstretched his arm, and with a small smile plastered on his face Danny told dash " Nice to meet you..."
