Danny chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck, as he looked around the room at some of the surprised and confused faces. "Uh, yes I am a ghost. I just thought you knew." He gestures behind him at the agents holding their weapons tightly. "I figured with how much these guys were freaking out about me, they would have told you."

Steve looked back and forth between the agents and Danny and raised an eyebrow. "Why would the agents be so scared?" He asked skeptically.

Danny looked back as the agents eased their grips on their weapons to try to prove that they were not scared. Nick spoke up. "It is just a precaution, Phantom could be really dangerous if he wants to be."

Thor thought for a second. "You are a draugr, dead warrior come back to life."

"Umm, I think so." Danny knew little about Asgardians, but he had met a few of them in the ghost zone, one likes to hang out just a little past the far frozen. Danny was good friends with him actually. He snapped his mind back and continued to answer the man. "I wasn't really a warrior before I died." He chuckled nervously and looked around the room with still confused and slightly put off faces. "It's not like I am haunting anybody or anything. I am here to help you guys with your problem and then go home." Danny sighed, "As much as I would like to be questioned on my existence for the rest of my afterlife, I thought we were going to go look at that staff thing."

Cap and Banner, shook their heads slightly as if they were trying to get their minds back on the mission at hand. They stood up quickly and started to head down the hall to where the staff was held.

Tony looked back at Danny again, who seemed slightly saddened. And now for sure Tony knew where he recognized the boy from, some people tried to contact him and his company about creating some kind of ghost weapons to fight off the new threat. The ghost's photo was in that file! But Tony just brushed the whole thing off as a hoax and never truly looked into it. But now maybe he should look more into this ghost thing.

X

Cap was sitting there thinking to himself while Banner was running some tests on Loki's scepter. He would be of little use in the experimentation of the staff so he might as well mull over what had just happened during the meeting.

If Danny was a ghost, that means he must have died, and he looks so young he must have died when he was just a kid. Poor guy. But why were the agents so scared of him, Steve felt slightly different and surprised when he discovered, but the kid seemed nice...

Danny walked over to the staff and was placed on a stand so it laid just above the table, he just stared down at it with slightly narrowed eyes. Something was off, like he recognized this sort of power… That was it. It reminded him a little of the ring of rage and crown of fire! He was only around those two ghostly artifacts for a little bit of time, during his battle with Pariah, But you could feel the power pulsing off of them, the raw energy.

It was like the staff. And Danny assumed it was the same for the tesseract thing they were talking about and searching for. They said it was similar to what they gathered with their tests on ectoplasm, even if they couldn't get much of it. But that must mean that both of the weapons that were once in possession of Loki probably could hurt ghosts, or at least do something to them.

"Found it." Tony called out Breaking both Dannys and Caps trains of thought. There was a light smile on Stark's face as he pressed a couple icons on the computer screen. Danny stopped what looked like a staredown with the staff, and turned his attention to the man who started to walk around to the middle of the room.

Cap walks over from the corner. "What did you find?" He questioned.

Tony points his pen over at Danny. "Him, I knew I had a file on him."

Danny raises an eyebrow with a slightly confused look. "A file on me?" Cap also raises an eyebrow as Bruce looks up from the staff and puts the scanner he was holding down on the table next to a pile of papers.

"Just a little thing really. I had some people come to me about making some sort of ghost weapons. You were in the file they gave me."

Danny had a panicked look on his face. "W-Weapons? You didn't make them any did you?" Danny knew that Stark could probably make hundreds of weapons that would probably go to the GiW or SHIELD. Cap looked over at Danny's panicked look.

"No, turned them down cold. Stark industries doesn't make weapons anymore. And besides, it seemed crazy… but now, I know that it was not as crazy as I first thought." Danny's eyes narrowed slightly. Tony swipes his hand across the monitor next to him and looks up to the bigger screen above the room.

A photo of Danny shows up on the screen, it was of him with his ghostly tail just flying through the town without a care in the world. "That's you, isn't it?" Tony said as he swiped again and a video started playing of Danny getting smashed into the road creating a small crater. Danny then gets up and flies after something with an annoyed look on his face.

Danny crosses his arms and looks at the other two people in the room watching the video. "What if it is."

Tony seems to ignore the ghost's question. "Amity Park." He starts, making Danny's eyes glow slightly brighter. "Nice place to live." He chuckles and looks over to Danny. "'Inviso bill?' that's quite a name." He then smirks, at the boy's look of annoyance.

"I have always hated that name." Danny grumbled.

"You know what is interesting?" He points at Danny again. "You were not on the avengers initiative. So why were you brought in?"

"I don't really know. They originally said that they wanted me to help track the, um, Tesseract." He put his hand to his chin. "But that is what you are doing, right?" He points to Bruce.

"So that begs the question." Tony continues. "Why did Fury call us in? Why now? Why not before? What isn't he telling us?" He grabs a sliver bag off of the work table that was filled with food of some kind. "I can't do the equation if I don't have all of the variables."

Cap raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms. "You think Fury is hiding something then?"

"Wouldn't surprise me." Danny added with a light scoff.

Tony nodded at Danny and continued on. "He's a spy. Captain, he's 'the' spy. His secrets have secrets." He turns to Bruce popping a blueberry in his mouth. "It bugs him, too. Isn't it?"

Cap and Danny turn to Bruce. "Uh… I just want to finish my work here, and-"

Steve cuts him off. "Docter?" Bruce sighs and takes off his glasses looking up at them.

"'A warm light for all mankind.' Loki's jab at Fury about the cube." Cap nods.

"I heard it."

Bruce points over at Tony continuing. "Well, I think that was meant for you." Tony nods offering the doctor a blueberry from his hand and leans on the desk. "Even if barton didn't tell Loki about the tower, it was still all over the news."

"Stark Tower?" Cap said. "That big, ugly…" Tony looks over at him with a raised eyebrow. Cap continued quietly. "Building in New York?" Danny smiles.

"It's powered by an arc reactor, a self-sustaining power source. That building will run itself for what, a year?" Danny had heard of it, his parents talked a bit about it thinking that it would work better or something if they worked ectoplasm into the machine.

Tony waved his hand in the air. "It's just a prototype. I am kinda the only name in clean energy right now. That's what he is getting at." He walks over and offers Danny a blueberry, Who in response raises an eyebrow looking down at it. "Do you eat?" Tony questioned, Danny smiles slightly and grabs one popping it in his mouth. Tony turns back around with a smirk on his face as Bruce continues.

"So, why didn't SHIELD bring him in on the Tesseract project in the first place, before this all happened. What are they even doing in the energy business in the first pace."

Tony sighs and walks back over to the computer monitor that he was at before. "I should probably look into that once my decryption program finishes breaking into SHIELD's secure files." Danny looks up at Tony with a slight smirk and an eyebrow raised.

Caps head snaps to Tony. "I am sorry. What did you say?"

"JARVIS has been on it since I hit the bridge. In a few hours, I will know every dirty secret SHIELD has ever tried to hide." He sticks the bag of snacks out at Cap. "Blueberry?"

Cap pushes away the man's hand and continues. "Yet you are confused at why they didn't want you around."

"An intelligence organization that fears intelligence? Historically not awesome."

"I think Loki is trying to wind us up. This is a man who means to start a war and if we don't stay focused he will succeed. We have orders, we should follow them."

Tony smirks again waving his hand off to the side. "Following is not really my style."

"And you are all about style, aren't you?"

Bruce speaks up. "Steve tell me none of this smells funky to you."

Cap turns around and walks out of the room calling out behind him. "Just find the cube."

"That's the guy my dad never shut up about?" Tony grumbled. "I am starting to wonder if they shouldn't have kept him on ice."

Danny looked over to Tony and back at Cap who was just turning down a strange hallway at the end of the hall he walked down. Danny tilted his head slightly, knowing that was not the way back. He started walking to the door only to stop when Tony called out to him.

"Where' you going, Casper?" He asked with an eyebrow raised and holding his snacks in the other hand.

Danny once again looked back and forth between where Steve left and Tony. "I am going to go after him." He paused. "I am not that much help here at the moment. And I wanted to talk with him anyway."

Danny paused as if waiting for a nod or something from Tony before he left. Tony caught onto that. "Do whatever you want kid." He waved him off. "I still want to talk to you later though." He added turning back to Banner, who had just picked up the scanner again from the desk.

Danny nodded slightly and started down the hall. As soon as he got to the bend where Cap broke off he saw a sign painted on the wall saying 'Storage.' What would Steve want in storage. Danny tilted his head and looked down the hall seeing no one there. He quickly picked up his feet tucking them underneath him and started to float down the hall, at a much faster pace than he would have been going if he walked.

Once he got to yet another bend (This place was like a maze) he glanced down both paths seeing Cap just turn again down the 'Secure Storage 10-C' section. Danny narrowed his eyes and followed behind not making a sound.

He flew up behind the Captain with his invisibility and looked over the man's shoulder to see what he was doing. Steve was trying to pry open the door to the storage room. Danny smiled slightly "Whatcha doin'?" He said playfully, causing the Captain to jump back looking up where Danny had appeared leaning over his shoulder.

Danny laughed slightly at the surprised Captain and landed on the ground next to him. Steve looked at the boy and quickly regained his composure. "I am looking into this for myself." He paused at the boy's smirk.

"Weren't you just telling everyone off for investigating, and how we need to 'Follow orders'?" Danny did quotation marks in the air with his hands. And then crossed his arms over his chest.

"As much as I don't like Stark, he and Banner did have a point… I was, looking for something in here. The stuff in this room is supposed to have something to do with the tesseract." He turned back to face the door. "I can't open it without getting anyone's attention."

Danny faced the door as well, the Captain stepped back as the boy fazed his hand through the door unlocking it instantly. "Ha, some government agency. Can't stop a dead kid from getting into their secure storage. Even Box Ghost could get in here." He turned back to face Cap who had a slight smile on his face before he walked into the room, followed closely behind by Danny.

The room was huge, there were shelves and crates stored up to the ceiling. You could probably fit an airplane in there. Cap looked up and narrowed his eyes. Danny followed the man's gaze and saw a second-floor section. The Captain took a running leap, jumping off of one of the crates and grabbing onto the lip of the next floor, pulling himself up effortlessly. He looked back down to Danny who had a slightly impressed look on his face before floating up and landing next to where the Captain stood.

Steve stared at the boy for a moment. So far he hadn't really seen him fly/float in person, it was like the boy was weightless. Danny paused looking at the Captain. "After you. I don't know where we are going." Cap shook his head and turned around facing away from Danny and started walking.

After a little bit of awkward silence, Danny spoke up. "I thought you fought in WWII, so how are you here?" Danny saw the man paused in his walk. "I mean I read about you in history right."

Cap slowly started walking again. "You probably did. Yes, I was in WWII, but I ended up crashing a plane carrying dangerous weapons and explosives into the ocean before it reached land. I ended up freezing, paralyzed in ice. And woke up years later in this world." He gestured his hand around the room. "The war was over, and it was a new time."

Danny looked at the man. "That must have been hard, for everything to change so suddenly for you." Danny looked down at his white-gloved hands. Danny blinked for a second and looked back up. "You know I was almost frozen in ice once."

The Captain turned his head to Danny raising an inquisitive eyebrow. Danny in response chuckled. "Everything is fine now though, But I was cold for days. My friends still bug me about it sometimes." Steve tilted his head to the side slightly, but then abruptly stopped when something caught his eye.

Danny followed the man's gaze to see a bunch of black cases. Danny didn't see anything out of the ordinary with them, but something was definitely affecting Steve. The Captain walked over and stroked his hand over one of the logos on the case. It was a skull with octopus arms sticking out the bottom of it. He had a mixture of confusion and anger on his face as he quickly opened the case. Inside were weapons printed with the same logo that was on the box, as well as some masks and bluish-colored grenades. He whipped his head around looking around and gasped as all the way down the aisle were hundreds of these cases. He looked back at Danny who mainly had confusion on his face. But from how Cap was acting, he knew this was bad.

Authors Notes

Hopefully you enjoyed this chapter. lol, I totally thought this one would take me much longer to write than it did. So I guess you didn't have to wait so long after all. XD

I don't know much about Norse mythology. and I read as much as I could on Draugr's. Someone had recommended that I mention them in my story. (Thank you). But I hope I didn't do anything wrong when I mentioned them.

I am extremely happy with this chapter, and again it is really long lol. My wrists are hurting. I would love to hear what you thought of this chapter. And thank you all for commenting on my last one! :D
