Well hello again, my fellow fanfiction people. I haven't been on because of a *ahem* slight obsession with the Inheritance Cycle…and anyone who reviews who has read all of it, say nothing please. I just started Brisingr. Anyway, reviewers:

Lilo'nSpidey: Heh, I enjoy leaving a nice cliffhanger. I'm sure the reader not as much as me…

Oblitus Angeli: The plot thickens indeed! Just you wait what I have planned in my crazy little mind…

DannyPhantom619: Thank you, and in response to your question, I haven't actually decided on a pairing for Danny, but I will take Ember into consideration.

Carolina36: Is the angry typing thing because of where I left off last chapter? But uh…yeah. Here's a new chapter.

Jeez this is a long author's note. I don't own this stuff blah blah blah everyone knows.

Chapter 9

Reunion

(Spidey POV)

"Uh, Danny, who is that?" I asked, pointing towards the figure in the doorway.

Danny didn't answer me like he was in a trance and stared at the figure in the doorway with wide eyes. I walked a little closer to the door to get a closer look at the figure.

She looked like a twelve year old girl version of Danny. Her bangs were the same as Danny's, only she had a ponytail along with it. She had the same piercing blue eyes. She was wearing a blue hoodie with red shorts. She had blue and white sneakers on. A red beanie sat atop her head.

"Danny?" she said cautiously.

"You made it," Danny whispered. "You made it!" He ran up to the mystery girl and embraced her in a bear hug.

"Yeah," she smiled sadly as she hugged back. "I made it."

"Um, I hate to interrupt such a sentimental reunion, but what are you talking about?" I asked from the corner.

"Who is this?" asked the girl.

"Dani, this is Peter Parker. He's in my class at school. He generously invited me to live here," Danny replied.

"You're both named Danny?" I asked curiously. I could believe they were fraternal twins, but having the same name was just overkill on the parent's part.

"No, I'm Dani with an i. Its short for Danielle," she said, acting like she got it a lot.

I didn't bother mentioning that Danielle was the feminine form of Daniel, Danny's name. Still overkill.

"So, mind explaining what the heck you're talking about? Made it?" I asked.

"Oh, well the Disasteroid-" started Dani.

Danny elbowed her as an obvious gesture to shut up. Though, I knew I'd heard that. Then, it came to me. I'd heard Phantom say something about a Disasteroid, and this had to be the Danielle from Danny's journal.

"But I heard Phantom-" I immediately shut up before I gave more away.

"What do you know about Phantom?" asked Danny, his tone considerably darker.

"Don't tell me you didn't tell him," said Dani from behind Danny.

Now we had three Danny/Danis. This was going to get confusing fast.

"Tell me what?" I asked, my attention reverting back to the conversation at hand.

"We're going to be late for school!" shouted Danny as he bolted out the door.

Dani shook her head and ran after him. I just stood there for a minute then realized that I actually would be late if I didn't hurry up.

I chuckled as I pulled out my mask, which I had taken the liberty to repair (mostly) the night before.

"And this is when being a superhero comes in handy," I whispered to myself.

(Danny POV)

Danielle was really here. I couldn't believe my eyes. After a conversation that confused Peter a lot, I rushed out the door for two reasons. One was that I needed to avoid questions from Peter. The second was that I actually was going to be late for school at this pace. I ran into an alley (it's weird how those are always conveniently around- but hey, I'm not complaing), changed, and took to the sky.

I was soon joined by Danielle.

"Why haven't you told him?" she asked.

"That later. I want to know how many people or ghosts found a natural portal before it hit," I said.

"Fair enough. I know that Frostbite didn't find one. He embraced moving on bravely," Dani said, and both of us flew silent for a minute in respect. "I was extremely lucky. Another ghost-I couldn't see who it was, he or she was cloaked and hooded-knew where a portal was and I just had to follow him or her to the portal."

"So we know of four people or ghosts that got out," I said. "Only one good, I imagine, unless the ghost happened to be good, which is unlikely to be honest," I said.

"The other two?"

"Unfortunately."

"Well?"

"Fruitloop and him."

"Him?"

I had forgotten that Dani hadn't been through the whole Dan thing so I promised to explain after school, as the building was fast approaching.

"See you after school, cousin," said Dani.

"You too," I said, then hurried off to class. I probably wouldn't be paying attention because I had bigger worries than homework on my hands. Spider Man. He had pulled off my hood, and if it was anyone I knew, though granted, wasn't a lot of people, he or she would have instantly recognized me. People weren't stupid here, like a lot of people in Amity (I hate to admit it, but it's true).

Then, there was Spider Man himself. When I had burned off a portion of his mask, I saw a little bit of his face. And I must say, it looked a lot like Peter. But if Peter really was Spider Man, I supposed that would work out for me okay since Phantom and Spider Man were already acquainted on a friendly level. But I couldn't pass judgment yet. I had to have proof. And just the opportunity arose, though a worse opportunity than I would have hoped for.

Alarms blared through the school as some supervillian I presumed was rampaging the fair city of New York. Note the sarcasm. Well, at least it didn't have a sign saying "A safe place to live!" on it, like Amity did. That was a lie if I ever saw one.

I quickly got up and evacuated like everyone else. I noted how Peter looked considerably less scared than everyone else. Once outside, I purposely got lost in the confusion and changed once I got out into yet another conveniently placed alley. By now, I really wanted to know just how many alleys one part of town could have.

I floated up to find myself in the face of a ghost. A lady ghost. A hooded lady ghost. Well, I supposed it was reasonable to assume this was who Danielle followed. But she just flew away, leaving a nice, big path of destruction in her wake. Great.

I scanned the area for injured people. Because of my heightened senses, I could see better and I saw, you guessed it, another alley. This city really needed to lay off making perfect places for mugging people. But that wasn't important. What was important was that I saw Spider Man climbing up a wall. Usually, that wouldn't be considered unusual in a city inhabited by heroes. Here's the thing.

His mask wasn't on.
