Were!Danny! bc why not. I feel like there is a lack of these fics? Anyways let us go on.

Three teens stood in front of a gaping hole. This hole in the wall promised many things, but had yet to deliver.

"So... What are we looking at?" One of the teens, a young goth girl with dark hair and an even darker fashion sense, started. She had been down to the lab many times since becoming friends with Danny and Tucker in the second grade, but the electrical hole had been a new addition.

"You're the one's who wanted to see it. It doesn't even work. I think my parents have given up." Danny said, his blue eyes scanning over the failed project nonchalantly. He was used to the crazy that was the Fenton household. He had been living there for sixteen years after all. It's just that his parents have never gone this far into their research into the paranormal realm.

"Yeah, but what is it?" Tucker asked peering into the hole, but keeping his feet firmly planted in the lab. Tucker was the curious one, being a techno geek he had a lot of interest in the Fenton gadgets.

"It's supposed to be a portal that leads to the supernatural realm. You know like vampires, werewolves, blah blah blah. My parents have been talking about it for months, and I would literally rather talk about anything else." Danny sighed. It was difficult having "freak parents." Of course they didn't have normal jobs, no they were scientists. Paranormal scientists that studied anything freaky that came from other realms to play evil tricks on humans. All of these creatures were bad, or at least that's what Danny had been told. He didn't even believe this other world his parents were trying to reach existed in the first place.

"You should go in it." Sam blurted out before she had a chance to think about what she was saying. "I mean... it'd be pretty cool if it did exist ya know? Supernatural beings and all. Plus, you already said it doesn't work so it wouldn't hurt to take a peak inside, maybe you'll find what's wrong with it."

"Yeah, plus, Junior year starts on Monday, dude, we'll be upperclassman! Do one cool thing before the summer ends."

Danny eyed his friends warily, not quite liking the idea. Curiosity got the best of him though, and the fact that if he didn't go in his friends would make fun of him for being afraid. Sam and Tucker knew Danny wasn't the biggest fan of his parents work and they also knew that deep down a little of this might be because of fear. With a deep sigh, he approached the empty portal. What could possibly go wrong by just looking around right?

Danny took one hesitant step into the portal before glancing back at his best friends. They smiled at him nervously. He took another deep breath before walking all the way into the metal plated hole. Danny actually found the inside to be pretty cool, there were lots of wires and metal tubes, none of which he knew the purpose of.

Danny was so engrossed in studying the empty portal that he didn't notice a metal tube in his path. When the raven hair teen tripped his hand automatically flew to wall where a switch was conveniently placed. He watched in slow motion as his index finger placed pressure on the 'on' button.

For a split second nothing happened and Danny felt warm relief fill his chest and then he saw the light.

One second he was in Amity Park at home down in the lab with his two best friends and the next he was another dimension. Danny felt as if he was burning alive as he got pushed backwards.

Danny landed on rough rocky ground. All the air was knocked out of him and he felt like his skin was singed off. If he made it out this alive he would never make fun of his parents work again. Danny looked around his surrounding. The Supernatural Realm had a sky that resembled muddled water and went on as far as he could see. Past that many doors and floating islands of all shapes and sizes were some what visible. He couldn't see much past the giant figure that eclipsed his sight from the rest of the Realm. A wolf, bigger than any wolf Danny had ever seen in his life was inches from Danny's sprawled figure. Danny's heart was racing and he felt his skin pulse from the force of the portal. He was knocked out of his trance by a deep growl.

Danny immediately sat up and began to back away towards the portal that was only a hundred yards behind him. This would be the last time he went along with any of his friends ideas, well if he survived.

He was only inches away from the portal when the giant wolf began to charge. Danny turned and threw himself towards the green swirls of the portal that led to the human world. His head had already passed through when he felt searing pain as the wolf clawed at the teens back. He felt the razor sharp claws travel from his right shoulder and down his back to his left hip.

Just as his whole body made it through to his parents lab he screamed for his friends to close the portal. He gasped in excruciating pain.

"Close. Portal. NOW." Danny growled out.

Tucker threw himself into action and closed the steel doors, hearing a heavy thump of a supernatural being trying to escape to the human side of the portal. His heart was racing, his ears not quite processing the deep gasps coming from his best friend.

Sam's only focus was on Danny. She examined ever part of him. His charred skin was already pink and healing, unlike anything the goth had ever seen. His back however was gushing with crimson blood and Sam could see the flaps of skin hanging off of Danny's bony body. She could see the claw marks, three deep cuts, and under the them bone was poking through with stark whiteness. Sam swallowed, trying to keep her lunch from coming up as her stomach lurched.

"Danny, oh my God. Danny please look at me. Stay awake." Sam was not a crier. She refused to show emotion in such a public way, especially in front of the people he loved the most. Yet, right now she felt the tears travel down her face and soak her shirt.

Sam gently rolled Danny on his back, and took his face in her hands. His eyes were mere slits as he tried to remain conscious, a fight he was quickly losing.

"Tucker.. we we need to patch him up. At least stop the bleeding, there might be a first aid kit-" She quickly turned around the find Tucker paralyzed in fear. "Tucker! Danny is dying and it's our fault! Snap out of it!"

At that Tucker jerked back into reality. His eyes darted around looking for any sort of first aid kit or towel to soak up some of his best friends blood. Tucker tried to keep his eyes from roaming over his best friends possible fatal wound. He couldn't help but notice Sam as she stroked Danny's sweat soaked hair. She was whispering something he couldn't make out and he was surprised to see mascara streaking down her face with her tears.

Tucker turned around, feeling as if he was invading a moment between his two best friends, even if one of them was near unconscious. Just as Tucker was riffling through another set of drawers, he heard a very audible gasp.

"Oh my god, Tucker look." Sam had noticed something moving under Danny's shredded skin. It looked like there was something snaking around around the claw marks, pulling together where Sam could see muscle and bone. At further observation she was that there wasn't a foreign object, but Danny's skin was actually stitching itself back together.

Tucker slow inched over to the pool of blood Sam hadn't noticed she was sitting in. His eyes spotted the same thing Sam's did.

"What the hell?" Tucker sputtered out. "Is he... Is he healing?" Tucker fell to his knees, ignoring the feeling of blood soaking through his jeans. His hand reached out but didn't make contact in fear of ruining the evident healing process.

"What do you think scratched him?" Sam whispered out, her voice hoarse from crying. She kept talking before Tucker could even reply with his theory. "We need to get him upstairs before the rest of his family gets here."

"Sam, we need to get him to a hospital. There's so much blood." Tucker said, swallowing the bile that was rising in the back of his throat. Sam's eyes jerked up to meet Tucker's.

"Look at him, Tuck. He's healing. If we take him to a hospital they'll make a spectacle out of him. We keep him here and figure out what scratched him." Although Sam sounded frustrated she still continued to run her fingers through Danny's dark hair.

Although Tucker didn't like it, he found himself nodding. Whatever had clawed his friend was Earthly, and Danny's back was almost completely healed for what Tucker could see.

"I'll take him and you stay here and clean the lab. Meet me back when you're done."

Sam stopped stroking his hair and reluctantly let Tucker pick up their unconscious friend. She tried to ignore the dull tug in her chest as Tucker clumsily walked Danny upstairs.

Finally, when the lab was spotless and Tucker had successfully carried Danny up two flights of stairs, Tucker and Sam looked over a bloody, unconscious Danny. Tucker had shrugged Danny's ruined shirt off so the two had a better look at his back.

Sam walked across the hall to the bathroom the Danny and Jazz shared and searched through the cabinet until she came back with a washcloth. She quickly ran it under warm water and went back to her injured friends side.

"We can't actually see how much he's healed through all this blood.. so may this will help." She said as she began to slowly dab at the drying blood. Sam tried to ignore the panic that was rising in the back of her throat. Danny hadn't moved a muscle since passing out after coming through the portal. She could tell Tucker was also worried by the way he was fidgeting and pacing around Danny's room.

Tucker couldn't help but gape at his best friends now clean back. Where muscle and bone was peaking out just minutes before there was now three clean scars. It looked like Danny's back had been healed for months. The skin was raised, and all redness was gone.

Tucker opened and closed his mouth a few times, unable to find words.

Sam gently flipped Danny over onto his now healed back. Just as she was pulling Danny's bangs out of his eyes, his blue orbs fluttered open.

Danny's mind was foggy as he came through. He remembered the portal and then the wolf. He even remember the feeling of its claws ripping through his flesh. Everything after that was blank.

"What happened?" he asked, sitting up. Surprisingly he felt no pain. He twisted his back from side to side. He then took in the appearance of his best friends. Sam, the strongest person he knew had tears streaking down her pale cheeks and drying blood smeared across her skirt and t-shirt. Danny's eyes widened as he looked to Tucker, who was also covered in blood, even his face looked stark compared to his normally warm complexion. The sixteen year olds mouth flopped open before quickly shutting. He searched through the fog of his mind, trying to come up with a reasonable explanation for the appearance of his friends. That's when the memories came pouring back. The portal, the wolf, the pain. Danny shot up and rushed to his dresser where his mirror was sitting. He spun around looking at the long scars embedded in his skin. Danny's head was reeling. He had thought he was going to die from the scratch but now he was fully healed.

"How long was I out?" Danny asked turning his blue eyes from his back to his friends. Tucker and Sam exchanged a long look, silently fighting over who would explain the current situation to Danny. Finally, Tucker sighed and stepped forward.

"You were only asleep for like five minutes, man. You looked like you were gonna die. There was blood everywhere," he stopped to gesture from Sam to him, "and we- we didn't know what to do and you started healing. Like, on your own." Tucker stopped to take a deep breath. "What happened in the portal?"

Danny paused, wondering if he should tell his friends what happened when he turned on the portal. He decided against lying, they were his best friends and they deserved to know what happened. What might be happening...

"I got scratched by a wolf... a huge one, at least the size of a bear. I thought... I thought I was dying... how did my back heal so fast."

"You're guess is as good as ours, man." Tucker said with a shrug, trying to look nonchalant but the color has yet to return to his face. Sam who has been quiet through the whole interaction finally spoke up.

"I think I know what happened." She said and the boys turned to her curiously. "The portal is supposed to go to the supernatural world right? Well, what if you turned it on and got attacked by a werewolf. That would explain why it was so big and why you healed so fast. Danny, I think the scratch turned you into a werewolf. That's the only explanation." The boys stood there stunned for a second before turning to each other and busting out laughing.

"Yeah, Sam sure." Danny said through fits of laughter. They giggled for a few more seconds before finally straightening up. "There has to be some other explanation. I don't know what it is but there has to be one." Sam only rolled her eyes.

"You were both there. Danny you lost a ton of blood and you healed in under ten minutes and Tucker you saw it." Tucker only shrugged, the color finally returned to his face.

"I'm with Danny on this one, Sam. I can't explain what happened but there has to be some reasonable explanation to what happened. You're starting to sounds like Danny's parents."

Sam only smiled.

"Sure. We'll see what happens." Sam had read enough supernatural novels and lore to know what happened in the last hour. Danny and Tucker would realize soon enough but for now she would do more research for when the time came that they believed her.

Before the boys could say anything the front door to Fenton Works opened and closed.

"Danny! We're home!" Mrs. Fenton called from the bottom of the stairs. Danny's eyes widened as he looked at his friends. His memory was blurry but he clearly remembered the blood.

"I already cleaned it up. The lab is spotless." Sam said, realizing the look in his eyes.

"But you guys aren't... you should probably take a shower. Tuck, I'll lend you some of my clothes and I'll rummage through Jazz's closet to find something for you, Sam." Danny said as he pulled some clothes from his drawers and handed them to Tucker. He then disappeared down the hall to Jazz's room.

After Sam and Tucker were showered and Danny had a shirt on the trio went down stairs. When Danny didn't see his parents on the base floor, the teens went down another flight to the lab.

The sight before them was chaos. His parents were running around gathering data and chattering. Maddie was at the monitor when she caught her son her periphery. She turned to Danny with a huge smile.

"Danny! Guess What!" Danny didn't get any time to guess before Jack came barreling at the trio.

"The portal works!" He picked Maddie up and spun her around before setting her down and trying to do the same with Danny, who backed up out of his father reach. The teens looked at each other before plastering on smile.

The school year was about to start and the trio had a feeling It would be a year like no other.
