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

It was a humid day. Too humid in Mr. Deggle's opinion. He might've been in a different mood if the weird ectoplasm trail didn't run cold halfway through. That was their only lead onto the whereabouts of Phantom and it was gone. It did help him narrow the search area for Phantom though, and it also showed that the ghost is somehow different from all the rest. How he was different no one could figure out. Deggle walked up to the assistant right outside of Director Fury's room. "I need to speak to Fury right now." he said as he inched passed her.

She lifted her head from her paperwork to see his gleaning smile. If she wasn't so used to people charming her to see Fury, she might've fallen for this guy. After brushing a lock of blond hair out of her face, she said, "You can't see him without an appointment or orders from the director."

Deggle's smile dropped for a second before another formed on his face. "You sure you can't make an exception?" he asked while gently rubbing her hand. "This is pretty important."

The assistant looked at his hand and then at his face. She needed to remember it in case this man got any worse. She was always terrified of being sexually harrassed in the workplace and didn't want to face her fears now. Before she could say anything, her intercom suddenly went off.

"Is that Mr. Deggle?" the voice over the intercom said. "Please send him in." it took a few seconds for the assistant to figure out that that was Fury's voice.

"Fury will see you now." the assistant reluctantly said.

Deggle's eyes seemed to gleam as he smirked. "I thought he might." he began to walk into the office but stopped halfway through. Without even turning around, he asked, "What is your name, Ms?"

"J-Jessica" the assistant stuttered out.

Deggle gave a slight nod and walked into the office. He had a job to do after all. That didn't mean he would forget the girl's name though. Most likely he would really get to know this girl in the coming weeks if he had to get through her to get to the director every time.

Fury stood at the opposite end of the office staring out of his window into Amity Park. Deggle slowly approached the director and stood there waiting. "Sir," he eventually asked, "What is so interesting about this city for you to stare at it all the time?"

Fury kept his back turned to Deggle. "Me and all of SHIELD have made our impression on this city. If it wasn't for us, this wouldn't be a war zone." Fury turned around with a slight frown on his face. "So I assume this won't be good news."

Deggle awkwardly stood in the middle of the room trying to think of an excuse. "Uh, the trail I was following went cold halfway through. We weren't able to locate Phantom. Our search wasn't for nothing though. We were able to narrow the possible location of Phantom and learn that something makes him different from the other ghosts."

Fury looked at the ground emotionless. "More of Amity Park will burn because we weren't able to capture Phantom. He is the answer to everything I can feel it!"

"Sir, how do you know this?" Deggle asked.

Fury looked up from the ground and approached him. "There is something different about him and it has to be a possible way to stop these ghosts. Maybe we can change the other ghosts' ways through him. If anything, he can provide us with a lot of information on his brethren."

The room was silent for a couple minutes after that. Neither knew what to say. That is, before Fury finally spoke. "We need to end this as soon as possible. Get me everything you can on Phantom. Any article, picture, or video. Anything. I need to know his every move."

"Yes, sir!" Deggle said as he gave his best salute. "You can count on me!"

The Fenton Parents have been up all night. They were able to remove the weird bullet from their son a couple hours ago and were now hoping for him to wake up. Maddie was desperate to contact Jazz and tell her to come home, but Jack stopped her. He said that she needed to pursue her own career. Also, she was with SHIELD right now and they could no longer be trusted. Who knew what they could've done to their daughter?

Maddie sat right beside her son as he laid on a makeshift bed in the lab. It was way too quiet with only the hum of the Ghost Portal cutting the silence. We have to tell someone what SHIELD has done. She thought as she stared at her son's sleeping form. They have to know that SHIELD is just another threat to our safety and can't be trusted. Maddie put her hand to her son's chest and felt the rhythmic beating of his heart. She really wished Jazz could come home, but there is no way SHIELD would let her go that easily.

There was one thing Maddie didn't understand though. Why was Danny outside in the first place? He should've known that it was dangerous and that he was specifically ordered to stay indoors. So why did he leave the safety of his home?

Suddenly, Maddie could hear the sound of a bunch of metal hitting the floor coming from above the lab. "Jack, you okay up there?" she called out.

Jack popped his head out of the little doorway leading to the living room. "Yeah, I made a little bit of a mess though. This is the best batch of fudge I've ever made! I hope our son likes it!"

Jack must've made 3 batches of fudge already. He is probably just trying to find something to distract him from what happened. Maddie couldn't. She tried to by tweaking one of her weapons, but all she was able to think about was how much pain these weapons might cause to an innocent target. She was tempted to just stop making weapons all together if it wasn't for the fact that it was the only thing keeping the family afloat. Well that, and Vlad's money. He has been really generous with giving money for their research. Jack and Maddie have already decided on one thing though. They would never supply SHIELD with weapons ever again. They were also going to make some calls and try to get every other supplier to stop selling their weapons.

Maddie, growing a little faint from a lack of food, decided to leave her son and go eat something in the kitchen. She tried to ignore it the best she could for her son's sake, but it was starting to get the best of her. She walked up the stairs and noticed her husband was busy working on his latest batch of fudge. The kitchen and living room wreaked of chocolate. Almost enough to make Maddie hurl. Her empty stomach wasn't helping either. She found a bagel and quickly took a bite out of it. As she was eating it, Jack gave her a side glance while stirring the melted chocolate in a pot. "We have to tell them." he murmured making it hard for his wife to hear.

Maddie looked at her husband and noticed that his eyes were red and puffy. He must have been crying. "Tell who? Maddie asked.

"Them! The media!" he said as he slammed his fist against the counter. "We have to tell them so they can tell everyone else!"

Maddie walked up to Jack and grabbed his hand. "Jack, you know Danny wouldn't want us to do that."

Jack looked down at the counter with tears coming from his eyes. "Danny is unconscious on our lab table with a bullet wound. Right now it's not what he wants but what he needs."

"Jack, are you sure about this?" Maddie asked.

Jack looked her directly in the eyes and said, "Yes."

Tucker was hacking like usual. He wanted to perfect his hacking skills and thought the best way to do that would be to hack into SHIELD. They did have one of the best firewalls in America so they would hopefully pose a challenge. After a couple hours of using educated guesses to find the password for a top official in SHIELD, Tucker finally made some progress. With a little more work, he got the entire password. Who would've thought his password was "hoplite".

Once in, Tucker really didn't know what to do. He already hacked into SHIELD so what was next? He eventually decided to just go searching through the database for some entertainment. That is, until he found a photo of a dead woman and her child. Tucker thought it was from the ghosts at first, but a closer look showed that they were shot by a gun. "Oh my god! They were killed by SHIELD! Wait, I don't remember hearing anything about this before. Did they cover it up? I need to tell someone! But who?"

Ah, who doesn't love setting up the plot for the next chapter? I will found out in the reviews. Speaking of that, please review!

Reviews:

SnowMiko: I wouldn't say it was run down, but it was the middle of the night so not that many people would be there. I probably should've mentioned something about that.

Inviso-Al: You know me so well. Danny will *beeeep* and then Fury will *beep*. After that we all have a sing along.

Guest: Hurray! Asgard is in Ohio. That's an accomplishment. Just like how Supermanw as created by two people in Cleveland. I remember reading somewhere that Fury forcefully resigned as Director of Shield after he destroyed an entire town after going after some supervillian (sorry, I don't know the specifics). Then Maria took control and was a puppet to the U.S (If SHIELD was controlled by the U.N.). After that they were either disbanded and formed Hammer, or Tony Stark took over. I didn't hear anything about Osborne though. That's new. I'm not big on the Spiderman universe.
