I felt inspired one night at 12 o'clock when I couldn't sleep. After I wrote it and saved it, I realized that it kinda fit the main idea behind this fic. So, this is just a one-shot about how Danny develops a power we never got to see him practice in the show.

And because I wanted to write a mundane post-reveal one-shot.


Maddie was making dinner when the house shook from its foundations. Sighing, she put down the casserole she was making and went downstairs to the lab.

The lab looked like someone had detonated a bomb in it, which, judging by the glowing halfa pulling himself out of the wall, might have happened.

"Danny, what did you do?" She knew he was fine, he'd taken worse hits before. Her rule of thumb was that if he was a ghost, he's mostly fine.

He grinned sheepishly. "I was trying to make a portal and it kind of... exploded?"

She arched her eyebrow, and pointed to the metal tunnel on the far side of the room, with the portal running behind the ghost-proof doors.

"Well," Danny rubbed the back of his neck, "yeah, but I want to make smaller, temporary portals. I've seen other ghosts do it before."

Maddie put her hands on her hips. "And do things explode when they make portals?"

"Well, no, Wulf just kinda tears at space and--" his eyes widened, "that's it! The Ghost Portal works by overloading local space with ectoplasmic energy, basically punching a hole between realities. What I need to do is rip it, pulling the realms together in a localized space. So if I..." he illuminated his hands, making a circle motion. A small hole in reality soon formed in front of him, a dark, ethereal green, before closing quickly.

He looked up excitedly. Maddie had to smile at that. "Great job sweety. How are you coming on duplication?"

His smile widened, revealing glowing white teeth. "Great! I think I might be able to get up to ten duplicates if I focus."

"Amazing! That's ten more pairs of hands to help you clean up this mess." With that, she went back upstairs to her casserole, the least intimidating ghostly moan she'd ever heard coming from the basement.
