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

The day started out relatively peacefully for Danny. Well, as peacefully as any day would when you are stuck in a war zone between a technologically advanced army and another army that just doesn't know when to give up.

Danny woke up, got dressed, brushed his teeth, and ran downstairs to find his mother already making pancakes. She was cooking one pancake in a pan and 5 pancakes were already lying on a plate next to the stove. Most of those were probably for Danny's dad. Jazz left a couple days ago to do some internship with SHIELD. She told them that she wanted to learn more about post-traumatic stress disorder and a couple agents picked her up to help out in a military hospital. Danny's father was a little upset, but everyone understood why she left.

Danny got out a plate from the cupboard and put two pancakes on it. As he sat down at the unoccupied table, he couldn't help but remember the decision he made a couple days ago. He had to ask his mother to teach him some karate. How was he supposed to convince her though? Danny Fenton would never have to learn martial arts. Could he blame it on bullies at school? No, she would just call the school board. He could always say he was scared of getting attacked by a ghost and suggest having his mother teach him how to fight. That was his best shot. Danny added some syrup to his pancakes as he thought about how to begin the conversation. "Mom, the ghost attacks are getting closer to us every day, right?"

Danny's mom flipped another pancake before turning to her son. "Yes, the attacks originated downtown but are getting closer to the outskirts. Why do you ask?"

Here came the tricky part for Danny. He took a bite out of his pancake before deciding it was too sweet. The sweetness came from the ectoplasm imbedded inside the batter. Most all food in the kitchen has been contaminated by ectoplasm one way or another, and it always gave off a sweet taste to Danny. He didn't know if it was because he was half ghost, or it was like that for everyone. "It's just, I am scared. What happens if a ghost comes and attacks me? I will be defenseless."

Danny's mother flipped the pancake on the stove before turning back to her son. "Danny, you are in the most secure building in Amity Park. Not even the Guys in White headquarters was as safe. If it will make you feel better though, we can pump more energy into the Ghost Shield."

Danny looked down at his food. He needed a good reason to get out of that. An idea popped into his head and he gave his best worried frown. "What happens if you run out of power? Then we will be defenseless against all the ghosts!" Danny tried to act as dramatic as possible to get the attention of his mother.

Maddie placed the pancake on the plate and added more batter onto the pan. "Well, the likelihood of that happening is almost zero, but if you want, I can always teach you how to use some of our Fenton weaponry. Just in case something does happen."

Danny sat back in his chair thinking about his choices. It wasn't exactly what he wanted, but eventually she would show him how to use the Fenton Gauntlets and would probably teach him how to fight with them too. Maybe he could ask for a pair more his size and be trained with those.

"Mom, since Jazz is away and dad is sleeping, can we begin the training now?"

Danny's mother raised her eyebrow and put her hand on her hip. "Why are you so eager to learn to learn how to use a weapon?"

Danny got out of his seat and grinned. "I just want to learn as much as I can."

Danny's mother began descending the stairs into the Fenton Laboratory with her son closely behind. "Ok," she said as she looked over all her equipment, "Where shall we begin?"

Danny noticed the Fenton Gauntlets sitting on a table and rushed over to grab them. After putting them on and swinging them around, he gave his mother a goofy smile and said, "Let's start with these."

After a couple days of running around the helicarrier making sure everything was getting done, Nick Fury decided to take a little break and join the field soldiers on one of their first missions with their new gear. He was going to lead a five man squad into Casper High School. The higher ups wanted the school to be cleansed of any ghosts as a show of good faith to the townspeople. It showed that SHIELD still cared about the people of Amity Park and their children. Who knows? Maybe they might be able to open it up for the kids if the area is safe.

He and the five other soldiers stood right outside the high school. Each soldier knew that there was at least one ghost in there and it was going to be hostile. Fury gripped his rifle a little harder. Yes the newly designed bullets proved effective against a test dummy, but they haven't even been tested on a ghost. In retrospect, he probably should've ordered the capture of some of the weaker ghost just for a situation like this.

Fury started walking towards the school closely followed from behind by his squad. 2 of the soldiers ran ahead of Fury and positioned themselves on either side of the entrance leaving their leader to open the door.

This was the moment of truth. Once the door opened, either Fury and his soldiers would get slaughtered from faulty bullets, or the ghosts would.

Fury checked the magazine in his rifle before he took a deep breath and kicked down the door. He caught a blob ghost by surprise and quickly shot at it. Two shots entered the beast and it melted into ectoplasm.

The soldiers entered the building soon after that and they split up into three two man teams to search every room. Fury was given a short Hispanic man with a really bad haircut.

Both soldiers approached one of the chemistry rooms in Casper High. Fury had a feeling there were a couple ghosts in the room and ordered his partner to an entrance on the adjacent hallway. At the count of three, the both barged into the room. Two more blobs noticed Fury's partner before him and fired their ectoplasmic rays which hit him in the shoulder. Fury quickly responded by firing two bursts from his rifle, one for each blob. Both blobs couldn't dodge in time and crumbled to the floor.

Fury ran up to his partner and noticed a red burn mark on the man's soldier. He was burned and probably needed medical attention. After hearing gunshots come from a different section of the school, Fury faced the soldier. "You can walk, right soldier?"

The man gripped his shoulder tightly and tried to ignore the pain as he got onto his feet. "Yes sir."

More gunshots could be heard with the screams of a ghost. "Get out of here to get medical attention. I need to stay in the fight."

The soldier ran off to leave Fury all alone. The director decided to find the other two groups so he could complete his mission. He already knew that this would be a walk in the park. At least, with these new weapons it was.

There we have it. The plot really begins. I don't have much else to say so please review.

Reviews:

Newboy: This would place during season 3 of Danny Phantom. That is when all the ghosts got really powerful and nearly destroyed Amity Park. Hmm, I never thought of the Undergrowth thing before. I would say his vines stretching all over Amity Park helped though. I mean, the ghosts couldn't turn the world intangible without the cables stretching all across the planet. Teleportation wouldn't work inside an ectoplasm infused cell. Isn't that the standard theory? Also, teleportation has to take a lot of energy. Lastly, I am just going off of what the cartoon shows. Those rays are a lot slower than a bullet so.

Inviso-Al: The only people who do are the ghosts excluding Danny.

Matt: He was one of my favorite too, but this is survival of the fittest.

Guest: I am taking this word for word from Wikipedia, "However, S.H.I.E.L.D. has been inconsistently portrayed as under U.S., rather than U.N., control, possibly by writers unaware of the agency's fictional history." So it can be either. Take your pick. It really doesn't matter though since I won't change it. I am stubborn that way.
