Author's Notes: Thank you to all who reviewed my fic:

Shiva the Sarcastic: Thank you, I was worried if anyone would like it or not as this my first story in the Danny Phantom category.

Nightshadow24: Thanks, if there are any errors it usually in the grammar and spelling department. Don't worry the daemons of writing won't let me abadon this fic.

Manyara: I know the beginning was a bit rushed, but I had to come up with some catalyst to get Danny to leave Amity Park

Okay here's the plan, I plan on doing two updates a week, but will change if you feel that is too much or too little. The reason this update is so close to the date I published the first chapter is because my grandma died this week and I will be attending the funeral home and going to the funeral, but you can expect two updates each week.

Chapter II: Plotting Foes

Kingpin

Today will be the single greatest day in the history of crime, all I need to do is wait for my 'delivery man' to bring me my package, which should be coming right about…now.

"Hey boss, special delivery," Hobgoblin said as he flew into my office, "I went Trick-or-Treating look at what I got," he said as he took out a small microchip from his pouch.

"Excellent. Hobgoblin," I said as I gave him large briefcase, "did you run into any trouble," I asked him in feigned consideration.

"Only the wall-crawler, but I gave him the slip," he said smiling, "hello, Mr. Garfield," he cackled as he counted his money.

"Hobgoblin, how would you like to make more money," I asked him, he looked up his red eyes glistened with greed, his weakness, the fool would do anything for money.

"I'm listening, Fisk," he said as he closed the case and paid attention to my offer.

"All you have to do is tell me who captured Mysterio," I asked him patiently.

"I don't know much about it but word is there's new hero in town, from what I've heard he calls himself Danny Phantom." He said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Hobgoblin, you may go," I said as handed another briefcase and he happily sped away.

I turned my intercom and activated it, "Landon, I have some jobs for you," I said through the microphone.

"Yes, what is it sir," the cultured voice of Herbert Landon, my lieutenant replied.

"We have the interdimensional gateway chip, is the machine complete?" I asked impatiently.

"Yes, Kingpin, all it needs is the chip, but are you sure you want to release him, you do realize that he has been sentenced to eleven consecutive life sentenced for murder," Landon informed me wearily.

"Yes, Landon I am sure, he is the only one who can take down that wall-crawling nuisance, Spider-Man," I told him bluntly.

"As you wish and what is this second job you have for me?" he asked curious as to his new mission I have ready for him.

"Find all the information you can about a new hero that has just arrived in the city his name is Danny Phantom and then bring me this information to me," I told him.

"Yes, sir" Landon said as he cut off the communiqué, and I sat back in my seat wondering about this Danny Phantom and if he might be of use to me.

Danny

After fighting that Mysterio creep, I decided that I better find a place to stay, but my choices are limited 30 dollars can only get you so far?

I flew for miles until I found an abandoned apartment complex, I flew inside and surveyed it, "Hmm, not bad, " I said as entered a room, which still had some furniture in it and was surprisingly good shape, "just needs a little spring cleaning and it will be livable," I told myself as cleared some dust of a chair and sat down for a second.

"I wonder what's on TV," I said as I approached the old TV in the corner and gently turned it on, I could only get local channels, but I don't have time for TV anyways.

The news was on, surprisingly they were talking about how 'Mysterio caught by mysterious Danny Phantom' It was nice to get some good press, or at least I think that's good press.

As I was watching, my stomach began to growl, I hadn't eaten since breakfast, I phased out of my room and headed for a local convenience store where I bought a pretzel and went back home, thinking about what my new life would be like.

Peter

After school, I went down the Daily Bugle to hand some photos of Hobby's latest attack for the paper, I can just imagine what the headline will say 'Spider-Man robs lab,' that's Jameson for you, hates Spidey no matter what.

When I showed him the photos he shouted, "Parker you idiot, I don't care about some crazy in a costume, there's bigger news than that."

"Like what Mr. Jameson?" I asked him curiously.

"Like Invisobill, that ghost kid of Amity Park, he's been sighted in town and I want pictures of him," he told me as he threw the film away, "I'll give you $2,000 for not only pictures but an interview as well," he told me as he took out a stack of large bills.

"You'll have that picture and interview," I told him as I left to get a picture of Invisobill, only problem was where to find him.

Luckily, Fate has thrown her hat in the ring, for as I walking out of the building, I spotted the Scorpion and Rhino robbing an armored truck.

"Sorry pals, but banking hours are closed," I said as I swung in the truck.

"Rhino, take care of the spider, I'll get us out of here," Scorpion said as he made his way to the front of truck and took off.

"Prepare to be Spider-kabob," Rhino said as he rammed at me, but I dodged him just in time and got his horn caught in the metal.

"Do you even know what that means?" I teased him as I webbed him up and went for Scorpion.

Just as I was about to attack him, the truck came to a halt.

"Blast it, the wheels are frozen, but how we're in the middle of a heat wave," Scorpion said as he looked out the window, only to be blasted a bolt of green energy.

I looked ahead to see what was going and saw what appeared to be a teenager with white hair and green eyes blasting Scorpy to bits.

"Is that best you got you zoo fugitive," the boy taunted.

"Stop calling me names," Scorpion shouted as he swiped his tail at the kids only to have it pass right through him.

The banter continued for several minutes until Scorpion was knocked out cold.

I wanted to go out and see this kid but he flew away just as I got out of the truck, "Must be shy," I joked as I took to the skies and followed him.

Danny

It's my first day on the job and already I've fought two loonies, the latest was dressed like a scorpion.

"Well time to turn in," I said as I phased into my room and changed back to Danny Fenton, "I wonder if they'll be anything about me on the news tonight," I mused as I went to turn on the TV, but was stopped as I heard someone knocking at the door.

"Hello is anyone there," the voiced asked, it was probably some curious passer-by who saw me enter the building or at least I hope that what it was.

I changed back into Phantom and opened the door, standing there was a young man in his twenties with brown hair and brown eyes, he was dressed in a blue jeans, a green shirt, and a brown jacket.

"Can, I help you?" I asked him nervously.

He just stood there like a statue for a moment beofre saying, "How did you do that?"

"How did I do what," I asked politely, I tried to act like nothing was wrong, but I really knew what he meant, he must have seen me transform through the keyhole.

"Transform like that, one minute you had black hair and blue eyes and next your hair is white and your eyes are green?" he asked.

I was cornered, I couldn't lie because he had just seen me transform, but could I trust him with my secret.

"I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone, I'm half ghost, my name is Danny Fenton but in this form I'm called Danny Phantom," I told him.

Suddenly the man realized he had not introduced himself, "forgive me, I'm Peter Parker of the Daily Bugle and your secret is safe with me, I was wondering if I could have an interview with you, Mr. uh, do you prefer Mr. Fenton or Mr. Phantom?" he asked politely.

"Just Danny, if you please," I told him as the interview began.

I told him about the accident, all the ghosts I fought, how Vlad destroyed my family and blamed me making me leave Amity and come here to stay.

When I got to that part, he said something that piqued my curiosity; he said he knew about me leaving the note, but how there were no reporters there.

When I asked hi m about it, he got nervous and was trying to come up with an excuse and was failing, he was definitely hiding something.

"Okay, I'll tell you, put you have to promise not tell anyone, okay," he told me after several minutes of prodding and making sure no one was listening.

"You have my word," I told him seriously.

"Okay, the reason I know is because….I'm Spider-Man, I was chasing another criminal when I saw Mysterio captured," he explained to me.

"Well, at least someone knows in this town that Danny Phantom is a good guy," I told him, "Most of the people in my town thought I was villain," I continued to tell him.

"Well, I'll spread word to the other heroes that Danny Phantom is one of us, just don't expect the paper to give you good press, knowing Jameson, he's probably already writing an editorial called 'the ghostly menace,'" he said laughing.

"I'm used to bad press, so it doesn't bother me," I told him, as I was sitting there my stomach was rumbling agin and the hunger pains were getting worse.

"You know, as much as the whole abandoned apartment locale goes with the ghost hero thing, this place isn't really safe, why don't you come to my home," he told me.

"I couldn't impose on you Mr. Parker," I told shaking my head.

"It's no trouble at all, there is an extra room you can use, and my Aunt May always cooks a large meal," he told me sincerely.

The more I thought about it, the more the I liked idea, besides it would be better for my health all this dust could give me allergies, "Okay, I'll go, I haven't eaten a full meal in days," I said as I transformed back to Danny Fenton, picked up my Fenton Thermos and left with Peter to his house.

Half an hour later, we arrived at a small house in Queens, "Here we are," he said as he parked the car and came opened the door for me.

"Aunt May, I'm home," he shouted as a small elderly woman came out of the kitchen, she had light blonde hair with blue eyes and wore pink shirt with blue pants.

"Peter, you're home early and who is this?" she asked as looked at where I was standing.

"This is Danny, he's attending a college workshop at ESU and is going to be staying with us," he told her.

"It looks like he hasn't taken a shower for days, the bathroom is to you right second door and I'll find some of Peter's old clothes for you to wear Danny," she said as he pointed to the bathrooms and I walked up.

I must admit that shower hit the spot, especially since I haven't had one in days; once I was all clean I found the guestroom, where Peter's aunt had put a set of clothes out for me.

After I had changed, I went to the kitchen where dinner was prepared.

"Now take as much as you want Danny, there's more than enough," she said as I took a large helping of chicken and potatoes. It was delicious and remembered me of how mom would cook (that's if she didn't use one my dad's inventions, that usually ends with the food coming to life and Jazz saying 'Great you managed to put the frank back in Frankenstein!').

"Thank you, ma'am it was delicious," I said after swallowing the last bit of food and took my dishes to the sink.

"You're welcome Danny, I'm glad you enjoyed it so much," she said with a smile as Peter and I helped her with the dishes.

You know, I could get used to living in New York, sure it's larger than Amity Park and there are fruit loops trying to rob stores, but this could be exactly what I need to relax and best of all, so there have been no ghost attacks, but part of me misses Amity Park and wonder what's happening back there.

Vlad

Things have been quiet since Daniel ran away, which was not supposed to happen.

According to the plan, once Daniel realized he was alone he was supposed to come to me to live, then I was going to mold into my apprentice, but Daniel seems to have resisted that idea and cost me one mansion and Maddie.

I regret having to destroy her, after all she was the woman of my dreams, but it was necessary to get at her son, well at least Jack Fenton's out of my way now that's one good thing about this.

I figured out that Daniel must be far away from Amity Park since there has been no sighting of him in days.

I figured the best way to find out what happened to him was to search the Internet for stories about him.

I got out my old 1987 laptop (my new computer was destroyed with my mansion and I haven't had time to buy a new one) and hooked up to my dial up modem (I didn't think to get broadband for here in Colorado) and connected to the internet.

"Oh chocolate covered peanut brittle! I hate dial up," I cursed as it cycled through a list of numbers before it finally allowed me on the internet.

I went to Google and typed 'Danny Phantom' into the search box; at first a lot fan sites came up, but after looking through a hundred links, I found a an article by the associated press.

"Invisobill sighting in New York," I read with a smile, "so you're hiding in New York City, I'll have to pay you a visit or better yet have a friend pay you a visit," I said as called Skulker into the room.

"You called boss," he said as he entered the room.

"Yes, pack your bags Skulker, you're going to New York," I told him as I sat back and smiled.

"Yes, sir," he said as he left the room.

Enjoy your time off Daniel, because it will be soon end, and you will my be my apprentice.
