Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom or the Avengers.

As soon as the order came through, the SHIELD scientists went over everything they knew about Phantom. He was definitely human before he became a ghost. He had white hair, a black and white jumpsuit, and unnatural green eyes. He could create and manipulate energy apparently out of ectoplasm, he also had regenerative properties, intangibility, invisibility, and only appeared when there was a ghost to fight or on a patrol. They decided to throw it all together into one list and present it to Mr. Fury. He was the one to give them the final approval and allocate the funds necessary to supply this project after all. The director looked over the list and then at the three scientists.

"This is all you can find on him? Nothing about who he actually is or where he hides. Not even who his friends and enemies are?""

Two of the scientists looked at each other while the third answered.

"Well, he is the most elusive ghost out there. It is hard to even get a good picture of him. We do know that he glows, and has an echo in his voice. There is also a controversy over the fact of if he acts humanlike or not." Most likely, he hides in the Ghost Zone with the other ghosts. Though we don't know how the ghosts get from the Ghost Zone into our world. He enemies seem to be every other ghost in Amity Park. That is probably territorial more than anything.

Director Fury looked back at the list.

"If he is humanlike then why is he territorial? That is not a characteristic to describe humans."

Fury could see sweat all over the faces of the scientists. They didn't seem competent but they were the best he had.

"Well, being territorial is the most common theory on why he defeats other ghosts in Amity Park but also robs its industry and hurt its citizens. There are some other theories but they are harder to prove."

Fury couldn't help but think that he was missing something. Phantom's entire personality didn't make sense. The ghost was a definite wild card.

"Well we won't be able to use any of the equipment like the Hulk Buster weapons. We need to create entirely knew weaponry just for him. Spend however much you need on them; just get them done."

The scientist nodded his head before turning to his two lackeys and gestured them to leave with him. When they were all gone Fury sat back in his seat and sighed. This was the first situation where he didn't know what to do. A part of him wanted to find out what made Phantom so much more powerful and different from the other ghosts, but another part of him told him to eliminate Phantom because he was a huge threat to international security. All this fight inside his head was giving him a migraine.

He reached into a drawer on his desk and pulled out two Advil. Without much thoughy, he plopped the two pills into his mouth and swallowed. Almost immediately the pain ceased and he could think more clearly.

A plan slowly formed in his head. He could capture Phantom and then question him personally. If Phantom was detained, then he would be no harm. The only problem was how to make sure the ghost didn't just phase through the prison. He also didn't know what to do if the ghost was guilty. He couldn't just kill him because he was already detained and no longer a threat. The only thing he could do was give them to the United States and let them try him for whatever crimes he committed. Director Fury pressed a button to the intercom on his desk.

"Mrs. Hill, please tell the scientist working on the Phantom project that I want him captured and not killed so they can't create lethal weapons to pursue Phantom."

Fury noticed the chess set on his desk and moved a black pawn on the side of the board forward two spaces.

"Your move Phantom. Let's see how good of a chess player you are."

"I hate chess."

Danny was currently playing a chess game with Sam and she was able to take his queen and trap his king. A little while ago he snuck out of his house to pay Sam a visit. She wanted to play chess for some odd reason.

"Check. Danny, you really suck at chess. I mean, you are even worse than Tucker and he stinks."

Danny sent the Goth a glare. "Well I haven't been able to get much sleep due to all the fighting going on. I just don't get it. Why are so many ghosts all of a sudden? It's like Walker's invasion but one hundred times worse.

Sam got out of her seat and put a hand on Danny's shoulder. "Danny, SHIELD is here for a reason. You don't need to fight these ghosts. Just let the soldiers do their jobs."

Danny knew he should agree with Sam, but he couldn't shake the feeling like there was a big piece of the puzzle he was missing and it had to do with why all the ghosts were attacking.

"Sam, why do you think the ghosts only attack Amity Park? Why do they never attack anywhere else?"

Sam thought about it for a second while trying to find a book on her bookshelf. "Because you always catch them before they can."

Danny shook his head at the idea.

"No, there were multiple times where they escaped the Ghost Zone without me knowing. Is it because they want the territory as their own? No, the ghosts we run into don't seem to be territorial."

As Danny was thinking, Sam grabbed a book from her bookshelf titled 'The Secret History of Amity Park' and handed it to Danny.

"Here. Something in Amity Park is obviously special for them to only attack it. Most likely it is in this book."

Danny took the book and gave Sam a hug.

"Thanks Sam. I should probably get going before my mom has a panic attack. Bye."

Just as Danny was about to fly out of Sam's room, she stopped him.

"Danny, wait! Please be careful out there."

Danny gave a grin.

"Don't worry about me. You should worry about everyone else." With that, Danny flew off to his house.

How many people here thought I was giving up on fanfiction? Yeah, sorry for the wait for the chapter, but at least it came, right? Please review!

Reviews:

Inviso-Al: Nah, Plasmius probably won't be used in this story. Well, maybe. I don't have the specifics for this story planned out; only the general idea. He definitely won't be a random ghost who attacks Danny though. I can promise you that.

newboy: Danny did beat Pariah Dark, but he barely even stood up to the ghost king and he had a huge suit that amplified his powers. He is still strong, but not enough to defeat an advanced army created to deal with people like him.

Guest: Not so fast sir. Now I thought the same thing before I started writing this story, but several sites say that SHIELD was created by the United Nations and in most story lines takes orders from them. Maria Hill takes over SHIELD later on in the comic series and basically becomes a puppet for the United States. She is told to obey the United States before SHIELD no matter what. So no creative license necessary.
