Alex flew low over the street before skidding to a halt in front of a group of terrified pedestrians and motorists, she turned away from them and glared at what she was here to deal with. Long scaly glowing alligators crawled up from the sewers in front of her and roared and growled at the civilians; it was the old "alligators in the sewers urban legend" which, to be fair was dying out, who honestly would believe it?

"Back off!" Alex snapped, her fists glowing threateningly. One of the alligators turned to her and bared it's sharp teeth at her, it growled and lunged at her. Alex dodged out of the way in shock, alligators couldn't do that!

"Argh… of course they can… they're not REAL alligators." Alex cursed herself as she tried to draw the attention of the alligators away from the innocent bystanders who were huddling in terror. Alex zapped a few of the ones circling her before glancing at one advancing on a little boy trapped between a crashed car and a wall. She lunged at it and grabbed it's tail and dragged it backwards with a lot of effort, a green glow surrounded her and her eyes shone brightly as a sudden burst of supernatural strength enabled her to swing the alligator by its tail across the road into a tree.

"My baby!" A woman yelped running over to the child and swooping it up in her arms, she stared at Alex in horror, fear and gratitude all mixed together.

"Go on, get out of here. Get everybody out of here, I'll handle these. Go!" Alex ordered her as she fired a blast at another alligator advancing on her. The woman nodded before running off and motioning others to do the same in the now clear path defended by Alex.

As the last few people ran off in terror the alligators disappeared, without an audience there was no point in being there. Alex floated in the air exhausted, the street was a mess, holes in the pavement everywhere, trees knocked down and one very wonky lamp-post.

Danny Phantom hovered in mid-air and stared in shock at the flood of screaming people running away from a street up the road, he bristled with anger, a ghost was about. And sure enough as he flew closer his breath clouded and he shuddered, his ghost sense agreed with him. Suddenly something knocked into the back of his head, he turned around quickly to see a nervous looking Ember beside him, it was her guitar that had bashed his head.

"What do you want?" He asked annoyed.

"I… is she there?" Ember asked sounding unusually un-confident.

"I'll see. What's with you anyway?" Danny frowned at Ember's unusual behaviour.

"You haven't looked into her eyes yet have you?" Ember shuddered, Danny shook his head but said nothing. "Try it, THEN you'll see why we're all so scared of her."

Danny flew around the corner and saw the destroyed street and the crashed cars, and right in the centre of it hovered the ghost-girl. Her head was turned up to the sky and her eyes were closed, she looked almost peaceful. Danny growled, she was enjoying the terror that she had caused those people.

"Hey! YOU!" Danny snapped, the ghost girl's eyes snapped open and she turned her head towards them.

"You're Danny Phantom aren't you? And you, you're Ember McLain." Alex commented almost distantly, she seemed to recover after a second and scowled at Danny. "And here I was under the impression that you were one of the good guys, but from the company you keep I see otherwise." Alex scowled at him and her eyes flared a bright green leaving no pupils at all.

Danny's heart caught in his chest, her eyes filled him with a sense of terror, he could feel the world around him caving in, the scenery around him ripped apart leaving him in an empty void with just himself and the ghost girl. He knew, he did know how he knew but he just FELT it in every fibre of his being that the world was going to end, his soul would be left in the void and she would be the cause. The illusion ended and he found himself shuddering in a cold sweat, next to him Ember was paler than usual and whimpering in fear. His breath caught in his throat, he held his hand up towards the ghost girl, fighting every instinct in his body to run away and fired a blast of ectoplasm at her before fleeing.

Alex tumbled backwards and rubbed her sore cheek where the blast had hit, she stared into the sky at the retreating figures of Ember and Danny Phantom.

"Weird…" Alex murmured as she changed back to her human form. The tooth fairy's words rang back in her head…

"Ghosts are just dead people, nothing to do with your part of the system, so they're not you're concern, I doubt any will go near you anyway."

Alex frowned, were they… afraid of her? It certainly seemed that way, but why on earth would they be? She was just fixing problems until the re-shuffle went through, she might be scary to parts of the system like jinx's but surely not to ghosts. Unless… well the tooth fairy had just said to her that ghosts weren't anything to do with her, she didn't mention whether or not they would be affected by the re-shuffle at all… Alex shook her head, she was just thinking silly thoughts now, she'd better get back before her father realised that she was late.

"Was that… Danny Phantom hauling ass away from you?" Aaron asked coming around the corner looking warily for alligators.

"Yeah, and he was with one of the evil ghosts. He hit me too." Alex frowned rubbing her cheek that was already starting to bruise.

"Wasn't he meant to be one of the good guys though?" Aaron blinked surprised, everything in their project had indicated that he was good just misunderstood.

"Yeah, ow." Alex whimpered rubbing her cheek.

"C'mon, we'd better get you back before your father freaks out on me for keeping you away from home for so long. How are we going to explain that though?" He asked pointing at Alex's cheek.

"I dunno, catfight with the popular girls?" Alex suggested walking off with Aaron.

"Eh, it's not like that hasn't actually happened before." He laughed turning the corner.

Far above the cloud line and still shaking off the creeps from staring into that ghost girl's eyes, he frowned, that settled it, the other ghosts weren't lying. That ghost girl was DEFINITELY evil and out to destroy the world, and she had to be stopped by all means.

Next to him Ember smiled, although slightly shakily, all was falling into place.
