Danny Phantom One Shots

A Field Trip to Remember pt 25

The techno geek didn't have to be told twice and disappeared again, reappearing with three fluffy feather pillows, which he handed one at a time to Sam. Frustrated grumbles left her mouth as she fixed his bed and instructed him to sit back, which he did, breathing out a sigh of relief as the searing pain in his chest subsided to a dull ache.

"Thanks," he said, nodding to both his friends in turn.

"You're just lucky we like you," Sam said.

"Some more than others…" Tucker muttered, pretending to fiddle with his PDA. Sam, standing next to him in a practically silent room, heard and promptly punched the techno geek in the arm, nearly making him drop his tech. The resulting mini-argument lasted until Danny asked Tucker what had happened after they'd left for the medical ward. Tuck gave him the story and the halfa was silent for a few awkward moments before lifting his head and facing the worried stares of his two best friends.

"Could you go and get Frostbite?"

It was nearly an hour later that the Fenton's were called in to see their son. Neither Maddie nor Jack had been able to get any sleep in their anxiety and stuck close to the yeti that had come to escort them, too worried about Danny to really mind being led by a specter. The medical ward was predictably crowded with nearly every cot taken up by wounded. Snowdrift was tending to a patient near the door when they entered, apparently taking his blood pressure, and it was a moment before he noticed them.

He was as cold as Jack remembered him being, showing a distinct lack of expression that made him seem calm, focused, and immune to both compliments and insults alike. The ghost physician barely glanced at the concerned parents before he turned back to what he was doing.

"I'll take it from here" Snowdrift said.

The escort straightened, placing a fist on his chest before turning and exiting the room. Several silent seconds ticked by, making the ghost hunters fidget uncomfortably before Jack finally managed to ask whether or not Danny was alright. Snowdrift ignored the question for the sparse seconds it took his practiced hands to unsnap the cuff from his patients arm and place it on a side table, picking up what looked like a see-through iPad and tapping his fingers quickly across the glowing screen.

"The Great One's injuries have all been treated, my apologies for your wait but it was necessary to stabilize him before visitors could be allowed."

"Can we see him then?" Maddie asked a bit impatiently.

Snowdrift nodded, "The Great One has specifically requested your presence." He moved toward one of the far corners of the room as he spoke, which had been sectioned off by a white curtain, the yeti doctor pushed it aside with his clawed hand, announcing that the visitors had arrived. There was a brief pause in what had sounded like an ongoing conversation before a familiar voice said to let them in. Snowdrift inclined his head in response and stood aside, allowing the Fenton parents to walk through before closing the curtain with a barely audible swish behind them.

Danny was sitting up in bed with a small mountain of pillows propped up behind him. Kwan's shirt had been replaced with what looked like hospital scrubs, though they couldn't tell if the wardrobe change extended to his pants thanks to the blanket draped over his legs. His right arm was bandaged from shoulder to knuckles, hand sandwiched between Sam's smaller palms. Tucker was standing in the opposite corner. Aside from them Frostbite and the purple-clad ghoul were also there, crowded in beside Tucker.
