Um… yeah, sorry for not updating for so long. Half my summer just slipped away really quickly. In any case, I know I've been lazy updating, and I need to tell you guys about the eighteenth. After the eighteenth I won't be able to update because I'll be on vacation. But I will be working on this story during vacation; I just won't be able to type it and update. I'll be gone until the week before school starts. I'll update then. Reviewers:

SomeItalian: Yeah, I know I have a tendency to rush the plot. I'm working on that. Thanks, and yes, I'm a girl. No matter; I have a friend who calls me bro all the time.

Oblitus Angeli: Very fun indeed *evil laughter*

KuriMaster13: His skin has always looked more green to me, but ok. Thanks for the follow.

YJ Impulse: Nah, I ramble all the time. And thanks. And you hit the mark with your guess.

ItTicklesLikeCrazy: Yeah, your review came up in my email and I was like: "Ok, I'm going to check when I last updated this. OH." And thanks.

Dislcaimer; I don't own Danny Phantom or Ultimate Spider Man blah blah blah

Man this is a long author's note. Sorry about that.

Chapter 11

Hunt

(Danny POV)

I stifled the laughter. I really shouldn't have found that situation absolutely hilarious, but I couldn't help it. Oh yeah, totally. You caught me Fury. I want cold revenge on myself. I forced back more laughter and kept listening.

"What could Danny have possibly done?" asked a guy in a yellow helmet.

"I don't know, Nova. His journal didn't say anything about Phantom. What I do know, however, is that Fenton knows exactly who this Dan character is. He needs to tell us. He might know a way to beat him other than relying on Phantom, who probably has some personal feud with this villain. Spider Man, I want you to subtly get what information you can from Fenton," said Fury.

"Me? He's probably going to be keeping his guard up after the journal thing," said Peter.

"That's why I said do it subtly," replied Fury.

Blast my carelessness.

The laughter I had been holding back came rushing to the surface. I was still finding this conversation hilarious. And in the middle of the laughter, I turned visible.

And so, the powerful ghost Phantom was in a laughing fit rolling on the floor in the middle of a superhero meeting. Everyone was far to surprised to move. Except S.H.I.E.L.D.'s lovely jerk Fury.

"Phantom?" said everyone at the table in unison.

"Freeze!" said Fury, pointing a gun at me.

I was really going to regret this later, but this was just too hilarious. Of course, I didn't think about the fact that it made me look like the villain.

"A gun? That's adorable!" I shouted, really sounding like a psycho.

"What's so adorable about the finest quality gun found anywhere?" demanded Fury.

"Go ahead. Shoot," I said.

"What?" said Fury, clearly surprised. Now that was an accomplishment. I got Fury to show his surprise.

"Go on, shoot at me," I said.

And so Fury did. All I did was turn intangible. Though this whole thing was a terrible idea, I must have looked pretty awesome standing there unharmed after the gunshot.

Everyone was speechless. Even Fury. Yet another accomplishment.

"As for Dan," I said, pretending nothing had happened, "you can't simply use guns on him either. Use your brain," I said, tapping my head with my finger before flying through the roof.

I went back home to wait for Peter.

When he got home, boy did he act jumpy around me. Though, I was curious as to what his lie would be (and I needed to act natural) so I asked him why.

"Why are you so jumpy tonight?" I asked.

"Why does Phantom want revenge on you?" Peter blurted out. Right after, he looked like he was mentally kicking himself with a steel tipped boot.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

I heard him mutter, "Subtle Parker, real subtle" sarcastically, but I pretended to not have heard him.

"Nothing, I, uh, read a horror story with ghosts," said Peter. "Bye!"

With that, he bolted up the stairs.

I shook my head with amusement and went upstairs for my nightly flight.

0o0o0o0o

(Spidey POV)

I had mixed feelings about Phantom now. Revenge? Surely Fury was wrong. The problem with that is that Fury never is. On top of that, I had to act natural around Danny tonight. That turned out to be a difficult task. I was also still shaken up from the gun. Phantom has just stood there and come out completely unharmed. I really hoped he was an ally.

"Why are you so jumpy tonight?" he asked me when we were doing homework in the living room.

"Why does Phantom want revenge on you?" I said suddenly.

Blast my carelessness. I mentally had the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. staff kick me with the strength of an elephant.

"Subtle Parker, real subtle," I muttered under my breath, scolding myself.

"What are you talking about?" asked Danny. The weird thing was, I could tell he knew something from the amused look in his eyes.

"Nothing. I, uh, read a horror story with ghosts. Bye!" I said quickly, bolting up the stairs before Danny had a chance to respond.

I was in my room in the blink of an eye. I was so dead. Fury was going to kill me for this. While waiting for my execution (courtesy of Fury) I thought about this Dan guy. Obviously they were connected, but I had a feeling it was more than just a personal feud. Of course, what did I know? I decided to get some air, so I changed and swung out the window, only to crash into Phantom.

"Ow!" both of us yelped.

"Can I help you?" I said sarcastically.

"No," Phantom replied.

"What are you doing here anyway? Are you here to do something to Danny?" I asked.

Phantom burst out laughing again. It really unnerved me when he did that. Phantom flew off on his merry way and I continued my night without any more run-ins with Phantom.

The next day at school unnerved me more.

Flash Thompson. School bully.

He was picking on Danny. Danny looked sad. It was crazy. Not as crazy as what happened next.

"Hey, Fenton!" yelled Flash from across the hallway.

"What do you want, Dash?" asked Danny, sounding bored. He immediately tensed and corrected himself. "I mean Flash."

"I want to stuff you in a locker!" said Flash.

What an intelligent thing to say.

Without further ado, Flash grabbed the ever-present string around Danny's neck and ripped it off. There was a ring on the end.

This was the part that really surprised me. Danny tensed up and stood still for about five seconds before gaining a look of pure rage on his face.

My Spidey Sense went off.

There is no way an ordinary kid could make my Spidey Sense go off.

Obviously, Danny was no ordinary kid.
