Hi! So here's Chapter 3 of my AEMH/DP fic.

Disclaimer: I Do Not Own Danny Phantom or Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

Enjoy!


I sat up with a start. What had woken me?

I stood slowly, trying to keep my balance as I went over to the window. There was something wrong. It was too quiet—I couldn't even hear Mrs. Kieran's snoring.

Something whipped behind me, a cold wind trailing in its wake. I turned, narrowing my eyes. "Who's there?"

"I think you know."

I froze, scanning the room. "What are you doing here?"

"You know the answer to that already."

I scowled, searching the room. "Where are you?"

"I'm always with you, no matter what."

"Where are you?"

"You know."

I growled at sat on my bed, running my hands through my hair until it was sticking out at strange angles. This was all in my head. It is all made up. I am not insane.

I am not insane.

I am not insane.

Hopefully.

"J.A.R.V.I.S., give me a report."

"Fifty point five miles until destination is reached."

"How are my jets looking?"

"Repairs are still in progress from the last time they were used to jump fifty miles. I do not recommend—"

"Fire them up, J.A.R.V.I.S."

"Very well, sir."

A few minutes later, he came to a small apartment building. Landing on the roof, he said, "Scan the area for this 'Danny'."

"Scan implemented." While J.A.R.V.I.S. worked, Tony looked around. Why was Fury making such a big deal out of this boy? What was so special about him, besides his past?

"Scan completed. Target is on fourth floor, room 393B."

"Recommended mode?"

"Stealth, sir. There are unorthodox energy levels radiating around objective." As the A.I. said this, the armor and its wearer vanished from view.

"Here goes nothing," Stark said, while at the same time thinking: This better not be a waste of my time.


I froze as a thud sounded above my head, on the roof. My senses sharpened, all the while I was telling myself that I was being paranoid. There was nothing there. I was hearing things in my head, so why not out of it?

Footsteps sounded, heavy, thudding, and clanking as if the person was wearing metal shoes. I followed them, narrowing my eyes and wishing I had x-ray vision.

Suddenly they stopped.

I was now near the window. I peered out, searching for the intruder.

"Hey, there." A robot composed of red and gold metal appeared in front of me.

I was surprised for a moment, but then I narrowed my eyes at it. "Who are you?"

It laughed. "Don't you know? I'm Iron Man. I'm here to protect you."

"Is this supposed to be funny? I can handle myself. Who sent you?"

The robot moved closer, and I realized that it was flying. "What makes you think someone sent me?"

"A robot suddenly shows in my apartment and wants to 'protect me'. Why wouldn't I ask who sent you?"

The thing's face slipped up, revealing a young-looking man with amber eyes and an angry, tired expression. "Okay, first: I am not a robot. Second, no one sent me."

I had to suppress a growl—he was attempting to manipulate me—as I continued to glare at him. "Then why are you here?"

He didn't seem to hear me; he was peering into my apartment. "Do you mind if I come in? My power's dropping and I don't want to fall thirty feet smack into concrete."

I continued to glare at him, taking in everything I could. He didn't seem dangerous himself, but the energy I was sensing from his suit made me dizzier than I already was. I moved aside. "Go ahead."

As he entered, the armor made a whirring sound, and the metal creased and moved off of him, folding into a suitcase. I stared at the man, mainly at his glowing heart.

"What?" He noticed my stare.

Before I could answer, the room spun as my mind was taken over by him. He wanted to speak, and I couldn't force him not to. My voice was deep and feral. "Break anything and I will break you."

The man froze, staring at me. "Excuse me?"

The world came crashing back, and my grip on the windowsill tightened to the point of near damage. "Multiple personalities."

He sat in a chair, throwing his legs over the arm. "Okay, then. Let's begin introductions."
