AN: Tumblr prompt: could you do a fic where danny meets either the avengers or maybe spidey and they find out he's a ghost but think he's a legit crime fighting dead kid and not a halfa?

Drabble 56: In the Grave

Danny groaned as he pulled himself out of some busted car, having been slammed into it by Skulker. He blasted the hunter with an ice-ecto mix, making him sink to the ground. He landed with a horrible sounding crunch. Danny flew over and punched him in the face so hard his helmet was knocked off. He then grabbed the squirming little ghost and tossed him in the air before catching him with the thermos. He placed the cap back on and turned around, ready to fly back to Amity, wherever that was. He had no idea what natural portal he got stuck in with Skulker, but he knew it wasn't anywhere near home.

At least it wasn't one that sent him through time.

He saw an explosion in he distance, and for some reason his tired brain thought it would be a good idea to go there and ask people where the hell he was, because he sure as heck didn't know. Thakfully it only took him a few minutes to get there, and when he did, his eyes popped out of his skull.

He saw Captain freaking America fighting some robots while some other guy in red tights swung by and tied a small cluster of them together with some sort of white stuff coming from his wrists. There were a few other heroes fighting about, and it was quite possibly the greatest thing he had ever seen.

There were too many robots for Danny's taste, so he decided to jump into the fire and takedown as many as he could. After all. the only thing better than a superhero team up was seeing Clockwork in a Christmas hat.

He quickly swept through a large group, flying through them and messing up their systems with a few, making them implode with others. But it made the task go by much faster, espececally when the Avengers didn't really question his presence. They saw him help ad decided to just accept it, knowing that they could always ask all of the important questions when they were done.

With Danny's help it only lasted a few more minutes, which everbody was kind of thankful for. As he touched back to the ground a small circle of world famous heroes surrounded him with raised eyebrows and their guards up.

"Kid, who are you?" Iron man asked. Danny, despite still being kind of small, puffed out his chest proudly.

"Name's Phantom," he said, striking a sort of hero pose that made the arrow guy-what was his name? Hawk Guy?-Snort.

"Phantom?" he was close enough to recognize now, Danny realized. It was a new suit, but he would know that web slinger from youtube anywhere. "Like, as in ghosts?" Danny nodded and grinned.

"Yeah, that's me. I'm a ghost."

"Like, walk through walls, turn invisible, supernaturally flick things against the wall kind of ghost?" Hawkeye asked.

"Well, I can't do that last one but yeah. See?" He stuck his hand through Hawkeye's chest, partly to show him he wasn't lying and partly because he wanted to see whathis reaction would be. Danny almost doubled over with laughter at the look on his face.

"So you're like, dead," Iron Man stated.

"Well, that is the definition of a ghost, isn't it?" Danny shot back.

"But you're only a kid," Captain America stated. He was appaled that someone as great as Phantom had died so young, now spending the rest of his afterlife fighting crime. But Phantom didn't seem to mind. In fact, he just kind of shrugged.

"Well, yeah, I guess," he said casually, "But accidents happen."

"How did you die?" Spider-man asked. "I-if you don't mind me asking, that is," he stuttered slightly, not realizing how rude the question seemed now that it was said out loud.

"My parents are inventors and ghost hunters and they built a portal. It didn't work, so I went in to just goof around with my friends and tripped on the wires and boom-I'm a ghost."

Captain America frowned, not like the idea of a kid dying because of his parents-his decisions, but his parents not supervising nonetheless. It must have been painful.

"What did they do, put the on button on the inside?" Iron Man scoffed.

"Yes," Danny replied, completely serious.

"Oh. Well, I guess that makes the idea less funny then."

"So if you're a ghost why are you...fighting crime?" Cap asked. Danny shrugged again, and they all began to notice that it was a common thing for the spirit to do.

"Because I like helping people? I mean, I get all these cool powers, and sure, they're fun using them for stuff I don't need to use them dor, but I wanted to do more, you know? I mean, I can share my power with the world in a good way. I like helping people." Danny placed a hand to his chest, feeling the cold of his core pulsing with energy right next to his beating heart.

"So where are you from, kid?" Hawkeye asked.

"Amity Park. Speaking of which, how far away is that? I need to get back."

"It's on the other side of the world, dude," Spider-Man answered. This didn't seem to phase the ghost as all. He just shrugged again.

"Well, I guess. Hey, um-If you guys need any-like-just call me if there's another alien invasion of something, okay? I could totally kick some more butt with oyu guys."

Cap nodded, not really knowing what else to say to the kid. He grinned and thanked them before opening a swirling green portal and flying through it.

"So..." Iron Man said. "Ghost, am I right?"

"I can't believe they're real," Spidey breathed in awe. This was so cool!

"I think it's time to do some research on Amity," Tony told Cap. He nodded his agreement and looked at Spider-man jumping around excitedly about how ghosts were real. Spider-Man was jsut as young as the spirit. What if he had died when he got his powers like Phantom? It was kind of scary to think about,and having that on his consciounce was not something the super soldier was looking forward to.

"I'm gonna go take a vacation," Steve replied, knowing Tony would understand what he meant.

"Do you want to take Green Bean with you?" Tony asked, already running facial recognition on people that have died in Amity.

"No, but maybe the kid. I'm sure he'll be excited to sight see."

Cap looked over at Spider-man again, this time smiling at his child like wonder as he looked at Big Ben in the distance. He couhed slightly to get his attention.

"Hey kid?" he asked. Spider-man looked towards him, giving him his full attention. He ignored Clint rolling his eyes as he nodded his head slightly. "Want to go on another field trip?
