Hey there... I'm back with a new story! I know, I know. I need to finish my other ones, and I will! But this plot bunny was itching to be written, so I had to write out the prologue at least! So I have nothing but this written so far, and you know how I can be with updating, but I'm trying to get better! Well, enough of my babbling, I'll let you read!

Blanket disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom or Ultimate Spider-Man. Just the plot.

Big Changes

Prologue

It was official. The Fentons were moving out of Amity Park. It had been two years since the opening of the Fenton Portal, and the invasions of ghosts that followed. In the time that had passed, the ghost problem had just gotten worse and worse.

In this time, the government agency known as the Guys in White got better with their weaponry and tactics. They had even, at one point in time, hired Jack and Madelyn Fenton to teach courses on ghost hunting and the tech that came with it, since the Fentons were commissioned and sent research grants to design weaponry for the GIW.

So why were the Fentons moving then, if they were living a pretty good life? Well, after two years of ghosts invading, due mostly to the Fenton Portal, and the Fentons, as professional ghost hunters, only able to deal with a small percentage of these invading enemies, the GIW deemed the couple incapable of performing the job. Soon after this decision, the GIW became the only ones in town to legally hunt ghosts, putting the Fentons in violation of this new law, which in turn caused the teardown of the Fenton portal and riddance of any and all tools used for ghost hunting.

The Fentons were down and out, and there was nothing they could do about it. They weren't quite ready to move on yet, though. There was still a slight chance that maybe this GIW thing wouldn't work out. Maybe they could go back to their old life…

In a way, the GIW thing didn't work out. Although they closed the Fenton Portal, and little to no ghosts were getting through, more and more ghost sightings and attacks were popping up over the globe. But since the GIW were mainly focused in the state of Illinois, the home to Amity Park, the outside occurrences didn't matter to them. In their eyes, there were much less ghost attacks now than there were before they stepped in. It was a victory.

To add a cherry on top, the most wanted ghost on their list, Phantom, a self-proclaimed hero, who to them was just a huge nuisance that caused millions in property damage, was seen less and less, and finally was just gone completely from Amity. Where did he disappear to? Honestly, the GIW didn't really care, so long as they didn't have to deal with him. But out of company policies, had to keep tabs on him, if possible, in case he were to try something.

It turns out that Phantom was also popping up around the globe now. Almost every place he popped up, there was another ghost there as well. It seemed he was keeping up his "hero" act even if it wasn't in his "haunt". An intriguing thought, but one that need not be pondered. The GIW finally had gotten rid of that pest, and most of their other ghost problems. Life was good. For them anyway.

The Fentons on the other hand… well, they were out of a job. The money from commissions and the research grants they got from the GIW stopped completely. After all, the GIW had gotten to be a huge agency, and had plenty of scientists and ghost experts on their team now. They no longer required the outside help of the Fentons.

It seemed that the Fentons were stuck in a rut, not sure of what to do, where to go. That's when they were contacted by another agency, the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, to be exact, also known as S.H.I.E.L.D.

S.H.I.E.L.D. was based in New York City, New York. Over the past few months New York City had been invaded by ghosts, more so than any other city or town in the country, and they were low on official ghost experts. Extremely low. As in there were none on their team. So S.H.I.E.L.D. did their homework and found the Fentons. They were perfect for their needs, and even better, looking for a job.

How could the Fentons refuse? S.H.I.E.L.D. was offering permanent positions as agents, and was paying double the amount that the GIW had ever paid them. They even offered paying for living quarters in NYC with a fully equipped lab.

It was either stay in their home town and try to find a new job, which would never suit them as well as ghost hunting, or move to NYC to continue their profession with an agency much nicer than the GIW, who had just used them and spit them out when they were no longer useful. The decision was an obvious one.

So, here were the Fentons, their belongings packed in the back of a moving truck, and the family packing into a cab that was headed for the airport. New York City, be prepared. The Fentons are coming.

So, there you have it. Please review, if possible. It fills me with inspiration to write more! Constructive criticism is more than welcome!

Until next time,
