Back on the tricarrier, Spiderman, White Tiger, Nova, Powerman, Iron Fist and Coulson escorted Danny Phantom to the control room which was currently almost empty due to the danger posed by the ghost in the system. It had been temporarily trapped to the computer console there. Danny seemed to be a nervous talker but Spiderman kept a steady, meaningless conversation running with the ghost. Much to the annoyance of the others, Spiderman and Danny had a similar love for puns and quips.

"Oh, I've got one. Why don't you go bother Little Miss Muffet?" Danny suggested. Spiderman laughed good-naturedly but shook his head.

"Sorry, but that one was weak. You've run out haven't you, Casper?" Spiderman taunted. Danny scowled playfully.

"Phantom!" a voice boomed across the control room, halting the conversation's progress. Danny turned to the voice and his playful scowl vanished into a determined expression.

"Nick Fury," the director greeted and held out his hand to the ghost. Danny nodded and shook the man's hand. Nick tried suppressed the urge to shiver from the cold contact.

"Sorry about that. Being a ghost with an ice core, I have that effect on people," Danny apologised as he withdrew his hand.

Nick raised an eyebrow but didn't comment.

"So, why did you want me to come here?" Danny prompted. Nick nodded to the teen ghost and gestured to the computer.

"We have a ghost trapped in our computer system, which I don't need to explain is dangerous. We need you to get it out," Nick explained. Danny visibly relaxed and smiled.

"That's it? You only needed to ask me you know. I would've come without the whole escorted by superheroes. Not that it wasn't fun meeting you guys," Danny informed them. Nick looked visibly surprised, an accomplishment in itself.

"We didn't think it would be that simple especially due to your chequered past," Nick remarked. Danny frowned.

"You're talking about that thing with the mayor aren't you? That wasn't what it looked like. The Mayor was overshadowed," Danny retorted with clear annoyance.

"Overshadowed?" Iron Fist repeated confused. Danny glanced at the hero and nodded.

"Possessed. Actually, the ghost that was overshadowing the mayor attacked and dragged me outside. They were trying to make me look like a villain," Danny explained. The group was silent.

Then the computer screen flickered on by itself and a green-skinned, white haired ghost appeared wearing a long white trench coat.

"Ghost Child? What are you doing here?" the ghost bellowed curiously. Danny smirked.

"This the ghost?" Danny asked Nick, pointing a thumb at the computer screen. Nick nodded. Danny walked up to the computer screen and folded his arms.

"Hey, Technus. Why don't you tell me what your plan is then?" Danny prompted. Spiderman was about to comment that it couldn't be that easy when the ghost answered.

"I have taken control of this computer. Once I break through the firewall, I'll gain full control of the SHIELD tricarrier and then I can take over the world," Technus announced proudly. Danny rolled his eyes.

"You could do that. Or I could do this," Danny commented and turned his arm intangible and reached into the computer screen and managed to grab the ghost's coat and pulled it out by force. Danny threw Technus across the room and then took out his thermos and in one fluid movement pulled off the lid and pressed a button. A stream of blue light spilled out and engulfed the ghost.

"No! You will regret this!" Technus threatened as he was sucked into the thermos.

Danny slammed the lid back on and clipped the thermos to his belt and looked at Nick.

"If that's everything, how am I getting back to Amity Park? I mean I could fly but chances are, I'd get lost," Danny asked. Nick blinked before regaining his composure.

"Er… no, I'd like to ask you a few questions before we take you back. Would you mind letting us look at that thermos?" Nick informed the ghost. Danny scowled.

"Sorry, Nick but I'd prefer you didn't take my thermos. For two reasons. One, this thermos is actually pretty full right now. I've been meaning to empty it for a few days now. Second, this is a Fenton Works invention with a patent. I may… er have stolen one, but that doesn't mean that I'm gonna let you take it," Danny decided.

Nick nodded slowly but gave Spiderman a pointed look. Spiderman was to get the thermos when he could. Spiderman sighed in annoyance but gave the director a curt nod. Nick smiled and motioned for Danny to follow him into an interrogation room. Danny sat lazily in the offered seat and waited for Nick to start asking his questions. Spiderman and his team with Coulson listened in on the interview.

Anyone see what's going to happen here?

Well…

Let me know what you guys think so far.

A couple of people have been asking for romance relationships... I'm going to confirm now, there's no romance in this fanfic. I hope you keep reading as you'll see why.

Until the next chapter.
