School Surprises

/ I'm typing this on my phone, so I'm sorry if it takes some time! I hope you like it, anyway. Yay my first x-over! D

Disclaimer: The author does not own Alex Rider or Danny Phantom. Haven't you heard that if you put a typewriter in a room full of monkeys, the monkeys would eventually type Shakespeare? You couldn't sue them for that, could you? So why bother with this poor little kitty, when I've done nothing?

The next day was a schoolday. And, since MI6 wanted Alex to 'blend in', said teen had to go to hid new school, Caper High. At least, he thought, he didn't need a uniform, and so pulled on some cargos and a nondescript T-shirt, hoping to avoid attention.

To his surprise, Danny had woken up earlier than him, and had managed to leave the room soundlessly again. Puzzled, Alex decided that his sleeping problems were because of jet lag, and tried to dismiss the niggling doubt at the back of his mind. As a compromise, he decided to watch Danny Fenton as well as Phantom. He'd learned to trust his instincts, and there was something weird about the boy.

Breakfast proved to be an interesting affair. Between the possessed French toast and bloodthirsty sausages, the kitchen was effectively destroyed. Fortunately, this facilitated the boys' escape from their murderous meal. Alex was sure he'd never look at breakfast the same way again.

On the way to school, he met Danny's two friends, Tucker Foley, who was obviously a tech-geek, and Sam Manson, a strangely cheerful goth. He noticed that the trio seemed a bit tired, and wondered if his experience the previous night had anything to do with that fact. Immediately upon meeting them, he received wary looks, and got the feeling that he'd have to earn their trust. Aside from that, though, they were friendly, talking about school and video games.

Alex found himself relaxing for the first time since he'd come to Amity. Of course, nothing good lasts forever, and his bubble was soon broken.

"Fentonia!" Instantly, Sam and Tucker were by Danny's side, however, Alex noticed that he waved them off. Reluctantly, they retreated as a hulking blonde came up to the little group.

Immediately, Alex's roommate was shoved up against a locker. With a sinking feeling, the spy realized that Danny was going to just let the bully do whatever to him. Funnily enough, he sensed that Danny could take out his attacker if he wanted to. However, he shook that off and concentrated on the problem at hand: how to get Danny away from the bully. Calmly, the teen spy stepped up to the blonde and tapped him on the shoulder. The bigger boy turned around in surprise, dropping Danny. Upon seeing Alex, his expression turned to one of disgust and anger, and he forgot Danny in favor of advancing on his new prey.

"Well, well, what's this? The new kid wants an initiation. Well, boys?" he gestured to a group of five letterman-jacket wearing jocks behind him and they moved forward to surround Alex, grinning maliciously. "Lets give him what he wants."

The undercover spy waited for a second, the attacked. One he took out with a fist to the solar plexus. The next went down with a knee to the place-where-the-sun-doesn't-shine. Two others charged him, and he stepped back and let them collide, cartoon-style, glad that their nice thick skulls could do his job for him. The last he dropped with a nicely placed roundhouse kick. Then he turned to face the ringleader.

The oaf was cowering in a corner, and seemed to have wet his pants. Quickly, he retreated, probably to find a teacher. Then he turned to Danny, Sam, and Tucker, who were staring at him with identical expressions of shock, curiosity, and wariness. Alex shut out the world for a second, reveling in the sense of freedom that the encounter gave him, feeling good for the first time in weeks. The combination of practicing his karate and the satisfaction obtained from taking out the bullies planted a grin on his face, especially since he knew MI6 wouldn't approve. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all.
