Editing Danny Hebert (section)

==History==
===Background===
Danny considered his own father to be a serious bastard with breath-taking anger issues, something that Danny had inherited.<ref name="I1 e1">Danny’s father had been a powerful, heavyset man, and Danny hadn’t gotten any of those genes.  Danny had been a nerd when the term was still young in popular culture, stick thin, awkward, short sighted, glasses, bad fashion sense.  What he had inherited was his father’s famous temper.  It was quick to rise and startling in its intensity.  Unlike his father, Danny had only ever hit someone in anger twice, both times when he was much younger.  That said, just like his father, he could and would go off on tirades that would leave people shaking.  Danny had long viewed the moment he’d started to see himself as a man, an adult, to be the point in time where he had sworn to himself that he wouldn’t ever lose his temper with his family.  He wouldn’t pass that on to his child the way his father had to him.<br/><br/>He had never broken that oath with Taylor, and knowing that was what kept him contained in his room, pacing back and forth, red in the face and wanting to punch something.  While he’d never gotten angry at her, never screamed at her, he knew Taylor had seen him angry.  Once, he had been at work, talking to a mayor’s aide.  The man had told Danny that the revival projects for the Docks were being cancelled and that, contrary to promises, there were to be layoffs rather than new jobs for the already beleaguered Dockworkers.  Taylor had been spending the morning in his office on the promise that they would go out for the afternoon, and had been in a position to see him fly off the handle in the worst way with the man.  Four years ago, he had lost his temper with Annette for the first time, breaking his oath to himself.  That had been the last time he had seen her.  Taylor hadn’t been there to see him shouting at her mother, but he was fairly certain she’d heard some of it.  It shamed him.<br/><br/>The third and last time that he had lost his temper where Taylor had been in a position to know had been when she had been hospitalized following the incident in January.  He’d screamed at the school’s principal, who had deserved it, and at Taylor’s then-Biology teacher, who probably hadn’t.  It had been bad enough that a nurse had threatened to call for a police officer, and Danny, barely mollified, had stomped from the hallway to the hospital room to find his daughter more or less conscious and wide eyed in reaction.  Danny harbored a deep fear that the reason Taylor hadn’t offered any details on the bullying was out of fear he would, in blind rage, do something about it.  It made him feel sick, the notion that he might have contributed something to his daughter’s self imposed isolation in how she was dealing with her problems.<br/><br/>It took Danny a long time to calm down, helped by telling himself over and over that Taylor was okay, that she was home, that she was safe.  It was something of a blessing that, as the anger faded, he felt drained.  He climbed into the left side of the bed, leaving the right side empty out of a habit he’d yet to break, and pulled the covers up around himself. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2011/07/02/interlude-1/ Exerpt] from [[Gestation 1.x]]</ref>

He eventually met and married [[Annette Rose Hebert|Annette]], and fathered [[Taylor Hebert]], when they were both relatively young.

He joined the dockworkers association rather young.<ref name=13.9ef>It viewed a world, one point in time in the present, and in a heartbeat, it took in trillions of images.  Billions of individuals, viewed separately and as a tableau.  Innumerable scenes, landscapes, fragments of text, even ideas.  In that one heartbeat, I saw people who were somehow familiar.  A young man, a teenager, out of place among his peers, men who were burly with muscle.  They were drinking.  He was tan, with narrow hips, his forehead creased in worry above thick glasses, but his mouth was curled in the smallest of wry smiles over something one of the men was saying.  A snapshot, an image of a moment.<br/><br/>It was my world, my Earth it was looking at. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/06/02 Excerpt] from [[Snare 13.9]]</ref>

His wife was killed by a car accident because she was distracted by her phone, causing him to distrust cellphones.

After his wife's death he spiraled into depression, and [[Alan Barnes]] had to intervene to get him to care for his daughter properly, although he still had some difficulty.<ref name="R1.2">Danny, who hasn't been eating nearly as much (or feeding his daughter) is a hollow shell of a man. Alan approaches him, tries to shake some sense into him, and Danny experiences abject horror at just how badly he failed his daughter. It's like that sensation of missing a step, teetering toward rock bottom. The Danny we know teetered, experienced that moment of horror, and then got pulled back to his feet and gets counseled in what steps to take to rebuild and recover by Alan. - [https://redd.it/4ak6m0 What if Danny Triggered]</ref> Out of spite during an argument, [[Emma Barnes]] claimed she heard Danny confess that he thought Taylor was inadvertently to blame for Annette's death - Taylor had failed to call her when she was supposed to, and he suspected Annette had been trying to call her when she had her car accident.<ref name="20.3">[[Chrysalis 20.3]]</ref>

===Story Start===
Danny heard his daughter sneak back into the house after being [[Unnamed Bug Girl vs. Lung|out late]]. He hoped nothing bad happened to her while she was out.<ref name="I1.x"/>

Taylor later called Danny and let him know she had made a [[The Undersiders|few friends]]. Those friends later brought his daughter home after she was apparently wounded in [[Bakuda vs. The Undersiders|a bombing]].<ref name="4.11">[[Shell 4.11]]</ref>

===Post-[[Battle against Leviathan|Leviathan]]===
Had to deal with his daughter leaving the house.

===Post-[[Slaughterhouse Nine]]===
Danny slowly recovered from Shatterbird's scream, and went to the mayoral debate with his friends and his daughter. Things did not turn out well at all.

===Post-[[Battle against Echidna|Echidna]]===
After the incident at the school when Skitter's identity was released, Danny blamed himself for Taylor and was deeply shocked and upset after hearing what she had confessed to doing.

Was there when she [[Skitter's Surrender|turned herself in]]. He defended her against Tagg, likely aware of the pressure he was trying to apply, and strongly rebut his suggestion Taylor was unsupported, poetically stating his belief in his daughter as a good person.<ref>[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/09/cell-22-3/ Cell 22.3]: “No.  I think you’re wrong there,” my dad told Tagg.  “She has support.  When you attacked her in the school, there were people who stood by her. [...] “You wanted my opinion,” my dad said, his voice a little firmer, “You get my opinion.  Others believe in her.  I trust her, even if I don’t know enough to follow [...] that’s the same girl I’ve spent the last sixteen years with.  With some of the worst qualities of my wife and I, and a lot more of the better ones. </ref> He tried to defend her when [[Rebecca Costa-Brown]]'s interrogation tactics led to Taylor snapping and lashing out.

Was there for the hearing that got her into the Wards.<ref name="25.1">[[Scarab 25.1]]</ref>
