As Tony shot through the air his scanners noticed a presence beside him, he looked over to see that the boy from the ship was flying through the air right next to him. Only his legs were gone and instead in their place was a slightly transparent wispy black tail trailing behind him whipping back and forth. Now out here the kid looked like he glowed, in the ship the glow was slightly hidden by the light, or the boy was hiding it himself. "What are you doing out here kid?" Tony raised an eyebrow underneath his faceplate. He was also quite confused about how the kid could fly. But the guy they were chasing a god with lightning powers so now that wasn't that strange.

"I came to make sure that you don't get yourself killed. And it was getting kind of cramped in the jet, sooo..." Tony smiled at the kid, even though he couldn't see it, he liked him already. As soon as they were close enough to the ground Tony spotted the caped man and Loki on the edge of a mountain. He powered up boosters and crashed into the man knocking him off the mountain and away from Loki before he could do anything. Danny faded into invisibility and flew down to where Loki was to see if he was still contained.

Tony and Thor crashed into the ground and they both stood up walking towards each other, And Tony opened his faceplate to talk. Thor grumbled. "Don't touch me again."

"Then don't take my stuff." Stark shot back.

"You have no idea what you are dealing with."

Tony looked around shrugging. "Uh, Shakespeare in the park? 'Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?'" He said in a mocking tone.

"This is beyond you metal man. Loki will face Asgardian justice."

"He gives us the cube and he is all yours... Until then." His helmet slammed shut. "Stay out of the way." Tony warns as he turns around to go back to fly back where he left Loki on the ridge, muttering. 'Tourist.'

Thor throws his hammer at Tony who's back was turned, throwing him into a tree snapping it in half. Tony mutters looking at the stats on his screen, as they were changing and showing a couple of warning signs. "Okay." He slowly gets up, then quickly surprises Thor with another blast, throwing him back into a tree as well.

Thor shakes his head angrily and then summons lightning from the sky into his hammer, and then redirects it shooting it directly at Tony's chest plate. Tony stumbles over with all of the lightning sparking off of him as he tries to regain his balance when JARVIS calls out. "Power at 400% capacity sir."

"Well how bout that."

Danny flies overusing his invisibility to stay hidden and lands next to Loki and sighed a sigh of relief as he sees that he is still wearing the special cuffs they put him in. Danny jumps at the sound of Loki's voice. "You just going to float there? Or are you going to talk." He turns to face where Danny was flying above the ground with a smirk on his face. Danny narrows his eyes and floats down closer flickering back into visibility.

"How did you know I was there?" He questioned.

"I can tell with these kinds of things."

"You couldn't tell before." Danny said smugly as he crossed his arms.

Loki's smirk slightly fell. "I didn't know what you were then." His tone still the same, ever the silver tongue.

Danny raised an eyebrow. "And you know what I am now?"

Loki smirked again but said nothing else, and Danny huffed angrily turning towards where Tony and the other guy landed. Danny waited there for a couple minutes watching Loki make sure he didn't escape, but there was something strange about him. Danny could sense just something, like Loki's mind was shrouded in what seemed like mist. Something was defiantly off.

Danny was thinking of speaking up again, asking more questions when suddenly there was a large bolt of lightning flying down and it looked like it struck something, or someone. Danny's chest tightened as he wanted to go and check out what was happening, and if Tony was okay.

He was about to fly over there when they both came flying up and smashed into the mountainside, dragging each other up the rock trying to knock the other off. Tony released a large blast of his repulsors that caused them to start spinning and fly far away and crash again into the trees. Danny could see multiple trees start to fall on top of them. He grumbled and looked between the crash and Loki. He stuck his finger out at Loki pointing at him. "Don't move."

Loki had a slight grin on his face that made Danny feel uneasy. "Wouldn't dream of it."

Danny huffed and took off towards the broken trees at an incredible speed, he hoped this was the right thing to do. As he made it he saw the Captain standing on the end of a broken tree above them, he had just thrown his shield that ricocheted off the both of them and flew back into his hand. Tony aimed weapons both at Thor and Cap. Danny was just hovering at the same height Cap was standing, but was on the other side of them. "That's enough." Cap demanded, jumping down, landing on the ground next to them. Danny stayed up in the same place, just watching for a second.

"Now, I don't know what you plan on doing here-."

Thor turned back angrily. "I've come here to put an end to Loki's schemes."

"Then prove it." Cap said. "Put that hammer down."

Tony spoke up again. "Yeah… no. Bad call, he loves his ham-." He was interpreted as Thor hit him with the hammer again throwing him back to the ground roughly.

"You want me to put the hammer down!"

Danny knew he was about to attack again so he quickly darted down and landed in front of him quickly creating an ecto shield around him, trapping him in what looked like a sphere. Thor yelled in anger as raised his hammer and slammed it into the shield, small cracks spreading across the green somewhat translucent surface. There was a loud bang and lightning sparked all over the inside of the dome but Danny kept the shield up, he was about to attack Cap. And he had just attacked Tony.

Tony and Steve looked in disbelief at Danny as his eyes glowed a much brighter green and the shield did not break. Danny was hovering just above the ground in front of them, and Tony slightly refused to believe that a kid had enough power to just stop this guy with just a shield.

Danny looked up after a couple seconds and released the shield. He could tell that Thor wasn't really a bad guy, he wanted to stop Loki too. "Are we done? I would love to stay and fight all day but I had to leave Loki on that mountain to come deal with you guys, and I am not sure he is still there." He put his hands on his hips, he was panting slightly. That shield took quite a bit out of him. He had to make it 10 times as strong as his normal ones to stop that blow. And even worse it was electricity, Danny hated electricity.

Cap gestured towards Thor "You and Loki can come with us and once we find out where the tesseract is and stop his plan you can take him. Deal?"

"Fine." Thor grumbled.

The moment they landed on the helicarrier, they were met with multiple armed SHIELD agents who took Loki off their hands. They were told to follow agent Hill as Loki was led away. Thor narrowed his eyes again, wondering if it was safe for these mortals to take Loki. But decided that it would be best to follow the other so-called heroes who had helped capture his trickster brother in the first place.

Nat, Danny, Cap, and Thor were led back to the main command room again, Tony had split off to go talk with Colson about something or other. They were once again on the slightly upper floor above the rest of the agents who were still working over the screens. In the center of the area, there was a round table surrounded by chairs.

Nat and Cap both sat down on somewhat opposite sides of the table, while Thor decided to stand and Danny stood sort of awkwardly leaning on the wall, trying to keep alert. Almost as if waiting for something bad to happen, Loki has a plan. He has to, or he would have ran away after Danny left. Unless his threat was actually that scary something was up.

Danny sighed and looked up as another man walked into the room, it was the doctor from before the one that was talking to Fury about tracking the tesseract. He stood sort of in the back as well, but on the other wall then Danny.

Suddenly Nick's voice started talking, but he wasn't in the room. Danny looked around for a second until he noticed that a screen turned on that was on the other side of the room. The tv was showing the camera and audio from the cell Loki was just put in. The people in the room straightened their backs nervously and turned to the screen to watch.

"In case it is unclear," Nick walks over to the control panel next to the cell. "If you try to escape, if you so much as scratch that glass." Fury presses a button on the panel opening up the ground beneath the transparent pod. "It's 30,000 feet straight down in a steel trap." He has to yell over the wind rushing through the room with the opening. "You get how that works?" He presses the button again closing the airlock. He gestured towards Loki. "Ant." And back to the machine. "Boot."

Loki starts to walk around inside the small room and chuckles. "It's an impressive cage. Not built, I think, for me."

"Built for something a lot stronger than you."

"Oh, I've heard." He turns directly to the security cam, as if knowing that the others were watching right then. "A mindless beast makes play he's still a man." Danny noticed that the doctor started to shift uncomfortably. "And now, you have a so-called spirit on your hands." Danny's eyes narrowed as Nat looked up at him slightly. "How desperate are you, you call on such lost creatures to defend you?" Loki chuckles.

"How desperate am I? You threaten my world with war. You steal a force that you can't hope to control. You talk about peace and you kill 'cause it is fun. You have made me very desperate. You might not be glad that you did."

"Ooh, it burns you to have come so close. To have the Tesseract, to have power, unlimited power. And for what? A warm light for all mankind to share. And then to be reminded, what real power is." Loki grins at fury. "What did you do, to get someone like him on your side? After all your kind has done to his." He sneered.

Nick turned around and started walking out. "Let me know if 'real power' wants a magazine or something." He mocked.

The tv turns off and everyone looks around for a second. Cap looks back at Danny who was glaring at the screen with his arms crossed. "Really grows on you, doesn't he?" Banner remarks leaning back a bit fidgeting with his hands.

"Loki's going to drag this out. So, Thor, what's his play?"

Thor turns a bit to face them more to explain. "He has an army called the Chitauri. They are not of Asgard, nor any world known. He means to lead them against your people. They will win him the earth, in return, I suspect, for the tesseract."

"An army. From outer space."

Danny raised an eyebrow. "It's not that strange." He commented.

"So, he is building another portal. That's what he needs Eric Selvig for."

Thor's head looks up a bit. "Selvig?"

"He's an astrophysicist."

"He is a friend."

Nat pipes up. "Loki has him under some kind of spell, along with one of ours."

Danny's head popped up a bit. "Spell?"

"He is being controlled by something."

Danny thought for a second about to say something else when Cap spoke up again. "Why did Loki let us take him? He's not leading an army from here."

Bruce walked forward a bit more. "I don't think we should be focusing on Loki. That guy's brain is a bag full of cats, you could smell crazy on him."

Thor straightens a bit. "Have care how you speak. Loki is beyond reason, but he is of Asgard. And he is my brother."

Nat rolls her eyes. "He killed 80 people in two days."

"He's adopted." The god of thunder quickly added.

"I think it is about the mechanics." Bruce continued. "Iridium… what do they need the iridium for?"

"It's a stabilizing agent." Tony's voice came from the side of the room causing the people to turn. "It means the portal won't collapse on itself. Like it did at S.H.I.E.L.D."

Danny thought for a second, his parents used a very small amount of that stuff in their portal. But they must need much more of it to make the bigger portal that they would need to have to get that army they were talking about through. Danny was debating on saying something about the ghost portal in Amity, but he was worried that they would take the portal over or something, start testing on it, or the other ghosts when they would come through it. Danny sighed.

Tony continued. "No hard feelings, Pointbreak. You've got a mean swing." he tapped Thor on the arm as he walked by.

Danny spoke up. "So if he has this stuff, that means that he could keep it open as long as he wants?"

Tony turned to him, slightly surprised he understood it. "Yes, and with the amount he has he could make it as big as he wants as well." He walked over to the control area that Fury was at before, and placed a hand over one eye. "How does Fury even see these?"

"He turns." Hill answers dryly.

Tony scoffed "Sounds exhausting." He turns two of the screens. Pressing a couple buttons, and sticking something to the bottom of the console. "The rest of the raw materials, Agent barton could get his hands on those pretty easily. The only major component he still needs is a power source of very high energy density. Something to kick start the cube."

"Since when did you become an expert in thermonuclear astrophysics?"

"Last night." He answered back dryly. "The packet, Selvig's notes, the extraction theory papers." Tony threw his hands up. "Am I the only one who did the reading?"

Cap spoke up with his hand on his chin. "Does Loki need any particular kind of power source?"

Banner started walking around the table. "He would have to heat the cube to 120-million Kelvin just to break through the culum barrier."

"Unless," Tony added. "Selvig had figured out how to stabilize the quantum tunneling effect."

"Well if he could do that, he could achieve heavy-ion fusion at every reactor on the planet."

Danny's head is looking between the two, only somewhat understanding what they were saying. His parents used a lot of terminology like this but he never really understood them completely, but he already knew more than most adults on stuff like this. He was more of an astronomy guy than an interdimensional portals guy.

Tony smirked walking over to Banner. "Finally, someone who speaks English."

Cap turned around to look at Danny. "Is that what just happened?" Danny smiled in response, shrugging his shoulders.

Tony's voice turned to a much quieter talking voice as he shook the doctor's hand. "It's good to meet you, Doctor Banner. Your work on the anti-electron collisions is unparalleled. And I am a huge fan of the fact that you lose control and turn into an enormous green-rage monster."

Banner gritted his teeth. "Thanks."

Nick fury walked into the room standing in front of everyone at the table. "Dr. Banner is only here to track the cube. I was hoping you would join him."

Cap piped up. "Id start with that stick of his. It may be magical but it works a lot like a HYDRA weapon."

"I don't know about that, but it is powered by the cube." Fury turned to look at Danny. "And I'd like to know how Loki used it to turn two of the sharpest men I know into his own personal flying monkeys." He crossed his arms. "Phantom, care to tell me what you know about how they could be controlled."

All eyes turned to Danny who gulped. "Uh, well I am assuming you are referring to overshadowing. Right?"

The two agents closest to him tensed and backed away a bit nervously. Nick nodded.

"Overshadowing?" Cap questioned.

Danny paused for a second. "Ghost possession." The room fell a bit more silent but Danny continued. "I doubt this was overshadowing though. First of all, most ghosts don't like to work with each other, let alone someone who is alive. And ghosts are very, um, prideful. They would only take over the world if they could do it by themselves." The people in the room sent him a questioning look. "They would want bragging rights over me or any of the others, if they used another's help they would probably be seen as weak. Even then, most ghosts just want to be left alone, they don't care about world domination or chaos.

Banner spoke up. "Ghosts?"

Danny raised an eyebrow. "You know, dead people. Float through walls, some of them can be really annoying."

"Ghosts aren't real, are they?" Cap questions. The agents in the room froze, expecting Danny to freak out or something. But Danny just sent him a slightly confused look.

Agent Hill gestured towards Phantom. "Captain… Phantom is a ghost." The room fell silent as they all looked at Danny once again. Danny looked around nervously and started rubbing the back of his neck. "Um…"

Authors notes

Sorry if it seems mostly word for word so far for the movie, I know some people don't like that. But I will be changing quite a couple of the things during the Avenger's movie portion as we move on, though lots of the talking will probably still be word for word. Also, I did say this before, this story will continue way past the events of the movie. Think of it sort of like a 4 part pilot episode. (Even if it not going to be four chapters for the movie portion.) But you sort of know what I am talking about. This is the beginning, the intro to the rest of the story. How they meet, how it starts.

I also do not know about the hole Loki was controlled for the Avenger's movie thing. I know there is more to it than that. This will be apart of my story, but sorry if I mess any of the aspects of it up. I have not done that much research into it. So please forgive me.

I would also like to point out that Thor and Loki would have defiantly heard of Phantom. But they are not recognising him as 'The Great Phantom' because they mostly wouldn't assume a kid would have taken down such a powerful ghost. So unless Danny directly mentions Pariah himself I do not think they will figure it out during the movie portion of this story.

lol sorry for so many notes, This chapter is quite a bit longer than the other ones so far. And it might take slightly longer to get the next chapter out for this story than it has been the other ones. Don't worry it will come out soon just it will take a bit longer to post, I am still working very hard on it. I would love to see any reviews for this chapter, they always make my day. 3

Thank you all for commenting on the previous chapters. :D
