"You have got be joking me, right?" Clint shouted across the parking lot behind the SHIELD building. Ron jumped and looked at the assassin as he glared straight ahead at the person in front of them both. Looking ahead, he saw that someone that both he and Barton knew hadn't properly left the vicinity and was waiting for them to approach.
"You didn't know?" he asked the man as they came to a slow stop in front of Agent Coulson, who looked like he wanted to be anywhere but right in front of a master assassin and Avenger. And a pissed off one at that.
"It was classified. You couldn't know." Phil supplied, looking sincerely at Clint as the younger glared and closed his eyes and breathed deeply before saying, "I guess I'll have to get used to it. But you have a lot of questions coming your way, Coulson."
"I'll try and answer them as soon as I'm able to Barton, but right now we have an emergency on our hands. We have to get to Wisconsin as soon as possible and bring in Vlad Masters if he's there." Coulson said, lifting his head up to look Clint in the eyes. Any comment that the latter had on his mind was interrupted by someone saying, "Fury had kept it a secret so as to motivate us into fight Loki in New York."
Looking around, Clint and Ron saw Kim and a hooded teenager walking towards them, Kim looking at Coulson as if she knew the man and smiled slightly. The teenager who had been walking with her kept his hood up as he bumped fists with Barton and turned to Ron with glowing green eyes and a smirk.
"Phantom?"
"Yeah. Right now, I need to tell you that Plasmius is involved somehow." Danny said, looking at Coulson calmly and adding, "I need to hitch a ride to Amity. I gotta talk to the Fentons about getting some weapons in case this mission goes south."
"I can probably help you with that, Danny. We're headed to Wisconsin so we'll be able to take you part of the way." Phil said, turning and getting his arm caught by Clint who still looked pissed at the fact that their handler had been cheated death. Looking around, he saw the master assassin looking at Danny with narrowed eyes as he said, "You knew? And you didn't think to tell us?"
"Take it up with Fury, Clint. He's the one who made the decision not to tell us that Coulson was still alive." Danny answered, crossing his arms and glaring slightly, his eyes turning a slight icy blue as Ron and Kim watching, before they turned back to neon green while Phil asked, "You knew I was still alive? Why didn't you tell them?"
"I'm a ghost and an Avenger, Phil." Danny deadpanned, "What do you think would have happened if I turned around and said that you were still alive?"
"So you did know and didn't tell the rest of us? Why?" Barton asked, turning to the ghostly hero as he rolled his eyes and said, "I can sense the deaths of those I meet. Found it by accident after I'd rescued someone from a fire over in Amity Park a few years ago. Didn't know that she hadn't made it until the next day on the news. But this power comes and goes as it pleases though and I can't tell if one of my friends is dead or not, so I can never be too reliant on it."[1]
"But you must have felt something to-" Barton started to protest, only to quieten down at the teens shaking head as he said, "Nothing happened that day. I was probably too out of it to notice it anyway."
"Don't remind me," came the mutter as Barton turned to a trio of engineers who were arguing loudly in the far side of the car parking lot and added, "Let's get this over with. But Fury and Hill have a lot to answer for when we get back."
"And I'm guessing that we're going to Wisconsin?" Kim piped up, having been silently watching the SHIELD agents and Avenger interact as Danny shrugged and said, "You'll have to go with them. I need to check something out. I have a bad feeling about this and it may have to involve Team Phantom."
"You're seriously going to involve them!" Ron shouted as they started to walk with Coulson and the others as Danny nodded and explained to the blonde, "They're involved whether you like it or not, Ron. Don't forget, one of them came with me going on three months ago. You just have to put some faith into the team and you'll get along with them."

I think that Phantom was hiding something from Ron and me when he flew off and away from the team, but I couldn't think too much into it as it may have had something to do with this Team Phantom that we'd heard so little about from him and SHIELD.
Only trouble is, he seemed to be hiding something from all of us and only the SHIELD employees knew about it, and maybe his team and The Avengers. I didn't get time to think on it as something even weirder happened the week after this incident. Something or someone that knew Danny came and spoke with us about a matter that had happened where it lived.
GHOST ZONE
He looked at the slightly smoking thermos that had once held the most powerful ghost in existence and scowled before sighing at the reaction he knew that the one who had defeated the ghost would take. Sucking up and swallowing his fear of the unknown, he opened a portal, stepped through it and into the unknown.

Okay, am I good or am I good to you all?
BTW, the engineers fighting weren't a cameo of any other show, but there will be other cameos to come soon. I have a little plan for some. MUA HAHAHAHAHAHA!
[1] The power I mention is from Avengers Ghostly Helper in chapter 7 'Meetings and New York, Sort of.' The power isn't canon with any of the Danny Phantom series and is an original power that seemed to fit in with the atmosphere of Coulson 'dying' after the Helicarrier was attacked. I think I was going through a hardcore gothic phase at that point, but not enough to actually change the way I dress. I'm still a tad gothic now but not as much.
