These updates are way more consistent than intended. Just keep in mind: this is the last consistent update. I usually only update on weekends, and I usually don't do them days in a row like this. I realized I forgot to put a disclaimer on the last chapter, but you people know I don't own this stuff anyway. Reviewers:
Inviso-Al: How this plays out is for me to know and for you to find out…later.
Faliara: *flips out and overturns table* RED ALERT RED ALERT THEY'RE ONTO HIM (sorry, I can be random sometimes)
ThAt CrAzy Ch1ck: Ok, is your cousin Cadel or something? (Reference from a book I'm reading- Evil Genius by Catherine Jinks. Cadel is the mastermind) As for Venom… You shall see. I'm glad you're enjoying the story (HA! My sister told me I wouldn't get any reviews and stuff with a crossover like this with hardly any stories for it- I shall do a victory dance now) Anyway, here is your chapter.
Bonzai!

Chapter 3
A New Place
(Spidey POV)
"What do you mean Danny doesn't exist?" I said, flailing my arms around dramatically.
"I mean," Coulsen said, sighing, "that Danny Fenton is unheard of. There are no traceable records of him, if they exist at all. Not to mention the fact that this 'Amity Park' he claims he's from is off the map."
"But-"
"But nothing. You need to keep a close eye on this kid. Who knows what he's up to," replied Coulsen, cutting me off.
"Why do we need to watch him like vultures?" I asked.
"Do you think he has anything to do with the sudden appearance of Phantom?" asked Ava.
"Maybe," replied Coulsen.
"Can we go back to class now?" I asked, wanting to get out of the conversation as soon as possible.
Coulsen nodded and we all hurried back to class. Danny didn't say a word at lunch and Rand approached me later about it.
"Do you really think that Danny is evil?" he asked.
"Well, he doesn't make my Spidey Sense go off, and he doesn't strike me as the villain type. I'm sure we're fine," I replied.
After school, I approached Danny. It struck me as odd that he didn't seem to want any friends, but I knew he needed some.
"Hey, Danny, can I ask you a question?" I asked.
"Sure," he mumbled.
"Where is Amity Park? Like, what state is it in?"
He seemed to stiffen for a moment, and then opened his mouth. Instead of an answer, out came an excuse to avoid the question.
"Uh, sorry, I have to get home. It's uh, my night to make dinner," he said, running off in the same direction I used to get home.
I realized I had never gone through with operation 'Follow Fenton' so I put on my costume and jumped on my Spidey-Cycle. I followed him on the rooftops to about two blocks short of my house. He stopped in a park and plopped down like a sack of potatoes on a park bench. I watched for a little while, but he just sat there staring at some picture in his wallet looking like he wasn't going anywhere. I decided to park the Spidey-Cycle behind some conveniently placed dumpsters.
"Do you live here?" I asked myself, but a little too loud apparently because Danny shot up off the bench and looked around.
"Who are you?" he asked, his fists clenched.

(Danny POV)
After school, Peter had approached me and asked me where Amity Park was. I immediately panicked inwardly but managed to keep my cool on the surface. I quickly thought up some excuse he probably wouldn't buy and ran off. He didn't need to buy it; I just needed to disappear until tomorrow. He probably would forget the question by tomorrow.
As I ran down the street, I got the feeling I was being watched. However, my ghost sense wasn't going off so unless it was Venom who probably would have attacked by now (he didn't strike me as the kind of guy to wait in the shadows) I figured I would be fine. I made my way to the park and sat down on a random bench. I pulled out my only photograph of Amity Park from my wallet. It was a picture of me, Mom, Dad, Jazz, Sam, and Tucker standing in front of FentonWorks. The same picture my alternate self had before he turned into Dan.
I will never turn into Dan. I told myself again. I promised.
"Do you live here?" asked a voice.
I immediately got up and looked around.
"Who are you?" I asked, ready to fight at any moment.
Much to my surprise, Spider Man jumped off the side of a building near the edge of the park and walked over.
"Spider Man?" I said, surprise evident in my voice.
"Do you live here?" he asked again.
"Er, no," I said, but my stupid hero side made me a terrible liar. Even under a mask, it was clear Spider Man didn't buy it.
"Don't lie to me. In any case, as a superhero it is still my job to help people, even if it doesn't mean I get to hand someone their butt on a silver platter," said Spider Man. "Looks like I need to find a roof to go over your head."
"Uh, dude, what are you gonna do? I doubt you have the money to rent an apartment and I don't think you would even if you could," I replied.
"Maybe, but I do keep tabs on people around here. I know a guy who would probably be more than willing to share his home. He's done it before," said Spider Man.
"Who would that be?" I asked.
"Peter Parker."
Oh great, I thought. Then dodging questions will like be dodging Dash's punches-difficult, but not impossible.
Spider Man promptly jumped on motorcycle behind some dumpsters and rode up a building. Then he was gone.
Wait.
Rode up a building?
I still needed to get used to New York.
The next day at school, Peter approached me again. For like the fifth time.
"What?" I asked moodily.
"Spider Man contacted me-"
"How did he do that?"
"He just came up to me. Weird right?"
"He did the same thing to me."
"Anyway, he said you need a place to stay. You're more than welcome to stay at my house."
"Thanks."
"No problem. Just wait for me outside the building at dismissal and I'll show you where it is."
"Fine," I said, and then walked away. I knew Peter was being really generous but I did say thanks and I wanted to be alone.
After school, he led me to his house and told me where everything was. I thanked him again and took a shower. It felt good. I hadn't had a shower in a while.
I had a restful night for once, and got up the next morning, actually feeling ready to tackle the day.
My mood was quite ruined after school.
I had been walking with Peter after the final bell rang and everyone was going home. Then, my ghost sense went off.
I didn't know how or why a ghost was here, but it only meant trouble.
A very familiar ghost appeared.
I couldn't believe it.
"VLAD?"
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
I do so enjoy a good cliffhanger. Sorry about all the setting up just to get Danny in Peter's house- I needed it to happen. As for Vlad, my response to Inviso-Al's comment a couple of chapters ago should explain it, but I'll put in an explanation anyway next chapter. I promise the next chapter is gonna be better than this one. Until then, goodbye and good reviewing! (hint hint)
