Amity Park Horror Stories

Peter is beyond tired and his plans to sleep in all day were canceled the moment he got a very last minute call from Tony telling him he had to go to some science conference with him for a mission. That was at five in the morning and it was now just after nine in the morning.

"Do I have to be here? I feel like I'd be more use back at the hotel." Peter gripes at Happy who decided to drag him out to the conference hall to get sign ins and badges taken care of a full twenty four hours before the conference actually started.

"Don't get mouthy." Happy snaps at him, filling out all the registration forms. "You're an intern right? You gotta do intern stuff."

"Can't I do intern stuff later? You know, after a nap?" He was in Queens less than five hours ago.

"No. It's your own fault for staying up late, kid. And Tony wants you to meet the featured scientist. There're supposed to be here in fifteen minutes." Peter would normally be pretty excited about meeting new scientist but right now he just wanted sleep.

"And then can we go back to the hotel?" He asks, taking the name badge when Happy hands him his.

The very last thing Danny wanted to be doing on one of his rare days of peace was being dragged to some weird science convention that would probably end with his parents being laughed off the stage as crackpots the moment the word ghost came up.

And yet here he was.

He scowls as he picks up another box of Fenton inventions and starts hauling it over to his parent's assigned booth. The box was large enough that he couldn't quite see over the top.

"Go check out the other booths or something." Happy waved him away. "I'll call you when I'm done."

"This all sounds like something you could have left me at the hotel for." Peter grumbles but moves off to check out the other boots before Happy can tell him to stop mouthing off. He notices the kid carrying a box he can't possible see over. That can't possibly end well.

"Uh.. need some help?" He offers.

Danny groans and makes an attempt at shifting the box over enough so that he could see who was talking.

"Point me to the table with the giant green F logo? I kind of lost track where I was."

Subtle, his parents were not.

Peter tenses up slightly, ready to intervene if that box goes tumbling. He glances around the tables and notes the one in question.

"It's okay it's uh... three more tables down, are you sure you don't need help carrying that?" It looks kinda heavy.

Danny's smile becomes fixed and slightly nervous. If the other boy tried to help, he'd be able to find out that the box was a lot heavier than he should have been able to lift so easily. He'd been using his ghost powers to make it weightless.

"That's okay. I think I've got it, and my parents get kind of weird about who carries their equipment. You know?"

"Sure." Peter just nods. In all honesty he probably didn't look strong enough to carry that box either. Although, come to think of it.. does the other kid look like he should be able to life that?

"I mean, it probably took a lot of work so I wouldn't want just anyone carrying it either. It just looks really heavy is all." Well, at least the table is nearby. "I'm Peter, by the way. Peter Parker. I'm here with Stark Industries."

Danny absolutely did not look like he should be able to lift a box this size so easily.

He grins a little guiltily, and shifts the box into a different position.

"Danny Fenton. My parents run FentonWorks. I think they're presenting later. Let me just drop this off at their table."

Well, he seems to be doing okay on his own. Why did Tony want him at this thing again?

"Yeah, Happy-uh he works for Mr Stark, I guess is supposed to meet with them or something about some energy converter thing. I would have listened but he and Mr Stark dragged me out of bed at five this morning." Where was Tony anyway? So far he hadn't seen him yet and Tony was supposed to be briefing him about this mission.

"My Spring break was supposed to start today and instead I get dragged out here." He pauses a moment as he realizes that might be rude. "N-Not that here's not lovely."

Danny had quickly dodged over to set down the box.

"Oh I definitely get that. I thought I was finally going to get a chance to sleep in today, and instead I got recruited for box duty." It really didn't help that half of their inventions tended to explode on him.

"Wait... Tony Stark is the guy they're talking to?" Danny moans and rubs a hand down his face. "Oh, this is going to end so badly."

"Well not yet." Peter offers. "He's not here yet, I don't think. I flew in with the forehead of security." That probably doesn't help anything.

"I wouldn't worry about it though, Mr Stark is really a lot more forgiving than people think." He pauses as his phone goes off and frowns at the massage. "Um.. what?" He shakes his head and turns his attention back to the other kid.

"Sorry, my friend just sent me a weird link."

"I don't suppose he believes in ghosts?" Danny asks without much hope. "That's the part of the presentation where people usually start walking out."

A pause.

"What kind of weird link?"

Oh. Well.. whose to say what Tony Stark believes in? All Peter can do is offer a shrug.

"Eh... I mean he does know a guy that was frozen in ice for seventy years, a guy that turns green when he gets really mad and a literal Norse God so he might be open to the idea of ghosts." He offers as an attempt to cheer him up. He turns his attention back to that link.

"It's this weird reality show about this weird hunter. I didn't think Ned would be into-Holy Shit." He curses as he reads the headline. 'Kraven the Hunter intends to Hunt the Menace known as Spider-Man.'

Danny was skeptical. But who knows, maybe this was the one time he'd be pleasantly be surprised and his parents wouldn't be laughed out of a science conference for once.

He frowns. "Spiderman? That's the New York hero, right?"

Danny had seen a few of the videos on youtube. He hadn't really spent much time thinking about him, with most of his mental energy having to be spent on his own hero troubles.

"And hunt? Please tell me that its talking about autograph hunting."

"Uh..." Peter started, looking at the picture of Kraven on the website. "Considering he's dressed in a bunch of animal pelts? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that's not it." Which does not bode well for him. When he gets back to New York.

"Um.. listen uh.. I gotta talk to Happy about uh.. something. But I wouldn't-Mr Stark does his research okay? So if he wants to talk to your parents then chances are there's something they did that he's impressed by."

Danny waves him off.

"Cool. I'm sure my parents have some other stuff for me to do, so I'll probably be around here."

"Yeah, see you later." He offers before rushing off to find Happy who's talking to two other people. One's dressed in a blue suit and the other in orange.

"Hey Happy, can I talk to you? Something's kinda come to my attention."

"Peter. This is Maddie and Jack Fenton." He gestures to the two.

"Oh, nice to meet you. I'm Peter Parker, Mr Stark's intern. Happy can we please talk?"

"Nice to meet you too." She put one hand to her chin thoughtfully. "We'll leave you two to talk. We should go and check on how our son is doing. Some of the equipment is very delicate."

"And sometimes it explodes!" Jack adds enthusiastically. "Someday I'll figure out why that always happens around Danny."

"Things explode around me too so... maybe it's a teenager thing?" Peter offered and then froze because why would he say that? "I mean! It happens in chemistry a lot." That's not making things any better.

"Teenagers." Happy shrugged. "I'll be right back." He allowed Peter to pull him off to the side to tell him about the link Ned had sent him.

"I suppose that could be it," Maddie frowns thoughtfully. But she shakes her head and waves them off cheerfully before heading off in search of Danny. Jack accompanies her, cheerfully speculating about making a stop to get some food on their way.

"You wanna tell me what that was all about there, kiddo?" Happy asks as Peter gets them somewhere they can talk.

"Yeah! That crazy hunter on that reality show is-" A sharp shiver runs up his spine and he look around quickly. What the Hell?

"Ah! Peter! There you are, I was just talking to Mr Masters here, about you." Tony Stark made his way over. "I also told him I have dibs so you can't intern for him even if he asks."

"Yeah, sure." Peter agrees, trying to pinpoint what was upsetting his senses so much.

The white haired man gives them both a polished smile.

"And as I was just saying, an excellent intern is such a treasure to find." He lets out a dramatic sigh. "I have been in search of an apprentice of my own for some time, but I regret to say that I have yet to find any that fit my standards. I do have my eye on one, but teenagers these days.... Its all video games and witty remarks."

"Yeah well, you gotta give them time to be teens." Tony said flippantly. Peter wasn't paying too close attention, far too busy trying to figure out where the potential danger was coming from.

"Uh, Mr Stark, can I be excused? I wanna check out some other booths." And get away from whatever is making is skin crawl. Maybe it was those very creepy undertones.

"Huh? So soon? I guess if you think you need to."

Vlad turns away, already dismissing the presence of Peter.

"Ah well, I suppose they must have time to indulge in foolishness. But on to other matters."

Tony honestly looks like he might not care too much what Vlad had to say. "Yeah, of course, you were saying Amity Park's got some kinda ghost problem?" He raised an eyebrow.

Peter meanwhile, has snuck off back to another part of the conference hall to get a better vantage point. What is his spidey sense so mad about? It seems to have relaxed a little having moved away from that Vlad guy. Was he up to something?

"Alas, I must admit that we do. Despite all the advances made my various campaigns there is a particularly stubborn and malicious ghost that is determined to destroy this fair city."

Vlad turns away as he continues spinning his story. Meanwhile on the other end of the conference hall Danny was very gingerly unpacking the Fentonworks display and grumbling to himself.

"The Fenton Anti-Creep Stick? Seriously? Well maybe it will come in handy of Vlad tries to hit on Mom in front of me again."

"Well, I can always call the Avengers down if the threats that great." Tony was saying, only sounding half interested.

The feeling that something's not right just gets stronger and Peter crouches down beneath a table and watches everything closely. Something's coming and he can feel it. Maybe he should tell Mr Stark? But he's still talking to that creepy guy he can't risk anyone overhearing anything.

Finally Danny finishes everything on the list his parent's had left him, and decides to take a quick circuit around the exhibit hall to see if there was anything interesting going on.

He could only vaguely hear what Tony and that weird guy were talking about. Something about a ghost problem? He hears someone approaching and immediately starts miming searching for something.

"Dropped my contact." He blurts out. "That's the only reason I'm on the floor like this. It's gotta be here somewhere."

Well, Danny didn't have anything better to do right now.

"I'll help you look."

And he drops to the floor. But its only a moment before he recognizes the voice and scowls.

"Oh, great. Looks like dear uncle Vlad's up to his usual tricks."

"No, that's okay! I can find it." How long before it becomes obvious there's no real contact lens? He pauses at that though and looks at Danny critically.

"Which is?" He presses.

Danny speaks as he runs his fingers across the carpet.

"I don't know what he's up to this time, but most of his plans involve causing trouble and then making sure that Phantom takes the blame." He pauses. "With humiliating my Dad and hitting on my Mom as a bonus."

So he was up to something. Peter glanced over to where Vlad and Tony were still talking about who knew what.

"I can't blame you for disliking him then-he looks like a sleaze." Peter stated before shaking his head and going back to his fake contact search. "Also, is he seriously your uncle? Because that's even more skeezey."

Danny makes a disgusted face.

"Luckily we're not actually related. He was my parents best friend in college. And he really makes me question their taste in friends."

"Well, people change. Not always for the better." Peter stated, watching Tony look annoyed at whatever Vlad has said. Another chill runs down his spine and he pauses to let himself focus. Something is coming, he can feel it. Should he tell Mr Stark?

Danny catches that shiver, and shifts away slightly. Was he putting out ice energy again?

"They always put on the air conditioner on too high in these halls, right?"

That should cover it. Probably.

And that is when Danny shivers as his breath shows on the air. He pushes down his panic in favor of warily scanning the ceiling of the hall for disturbances.

Here? Now? What was Vlad up to?

"Huh? Oh, that's because most electronics work better in cooler temperatures. Don't want them overheating, you know?" Peter manages to explain before Danny also starts looking around. He didn't.. sense something was off did he?

"Uh.. I don't think I dropped it here. I'll check by another table."

"Right," Danny says nervously. "I'll just check over in that direction." He gets up into a crouch, ready to go find somewhere with fewer people so he could transform.

Peter starts to get up as well but the hair on the back of is neck stands on end and before he's fully aware that he's doing it, he lunges at Danny, knocking him out of the of some weird green blast.

Danny goes rolling from the save, but manages to recover into a crouch. He stares up at the ceiling to find a glowing robot with a flaming green mohawk aiming a ludicrously oversized weapon.

"Hello Ghost Child. I've made some upgrades. Like them?"

"Skulker," Danny growls under his breath. He casts a quick glance around the room, noting the conference screaming and Vlad's smirk, visible even from this far away. Oh, this was definitely a trap. He didn't have the time to check in to see how Peter was reacting, as Skulker raises a different weapon and aims at him.

Abruptly he dives to the side and charges away into the conference hall. The capture device Skulker had just fired hits the floor where he had just been crouching.

All he needed to do was find somewhere away from the crowd so he could change.

Chaos erupts and it gives Peter the perfect opportunity to sneak away and change into his own suit.

While the kids are in a costume change Tony activates a gauntlet on is hand and aims very briefly before firing a repulsor beam at the guy crashing the conference.

"Funny, I don't remember sending you an invite to this exclusive party." Tony stated.

That catches Skulker's attention away from firing a series of ectoplasmic nets at Danny, which he'd barely avoided with some panicked acrobatics.

"Skulker need no invitation for the hunt!" the ghost comments. "Although I do like your upgrades. Very nice. But for now, the hunt is not over! Soon the ghost child's pelt shall adorn my wall!" Off to one side Vlad makes a very pointed cough. "Obviously after I have taken him to my extremely generous employer," the ghost hastily adds.

And he hastily fires up his jets and chases after Danny who was still desperately searching the conference hall for somewhere out of sight to change.

"Oh, you like that huh?" Tony asked as the rest of his Armor started to incase him and raised another hand to fire another blast. "Soon you're gonna be a grease stain on the floor."

Meanwhile, Peter's switched to his spider-man suit, having hastily changed under a table.

"Man, why you gotta make it creepy?" Spider-Man quips as he fires his webs at Skulker and flips up onto the ceiling. "Besides, haven't you heard? Ghost-kid hunting season is over."

"The hunt must continue! Otherwise I would be pleased to continue this."

Two banks of missile launchers rise out of Skulker's armor as he fires them at Tony and Peter. Meanwhile a third bank of missiles launch after Danny, these targeted at his ecto signature.

Vlad had been very busy.

Skulker pauses. "And there is no season on the ghost child. Skulker only hunts the rarest of prey!"

Danny yelps and dodges frantically as the missiles begin to follow him.

"Poaching is illegal!" Peter cries out, flipping out of the way of the missile.

"Kid." Tony growled as he quickly moved away from the danger zone. Peter ignored the tone and just goes to web the missiles. They can't hit Danny if they're stuck in his webs.

"You and I are going have a talk after this." Tony warned before firing up his repulsor again, this time aiming for Skulker's weapon. "For now, get the other kid out of here." He instructs.

"Yup!" Peter salutes before firing is webs at Danny and trying to yank him out of the way of any stray missiles.

One of the missiles after Danny manages to escape the webs, and explodes into a glowing blue cube that traps Danny inside of it. Danny immediately slams into the side of it as he tries to break through, but this was one of Vlad's special anti-ghost cubes. He wasn't getting out without help form the outside.

This time the repulsor manages to hit one of the robot's thrusters, sending him tumbling out of control. He dumps the engine and dives toward's Danny's location to grab him.

"Oh no you don't!" Peter fires his webs directly at Skulker and lands in a crouch by the weird cube. Can he break it with his strength.

"Party's over." Tony stated, aiming his gauntlet at the hunter and pumping up the power by about twenty percent before he lets loose another beam.

"Hang in there! I'll get you out!" Maybe. Spider-Man clasps both his hands together and brings them down hard on the blue casing.

Spiderman? But what was he doing in Amity Park? This was nowhere near New York.

But Danny shelves his questions in favor of the problem at hand. There was no way he wanted to spend the rest of his day staging yet another escape from one of Vlad's secret labs.

"Not that way!" His voice echoes oddly from inside the cube as he punches it in demonstration. The energy that made it up only ripples at the impact.

"Skulker will have the controls! The only way to turn this off is from that, or if he gets too far away from here."

The beam manages to throw Skulker off from his trajectory and he goes crashing into a table.

Don't worry about that too much. Spider-Man just needed a vacation sense there's a guys after him now. And now there's this other guy after Danny. His life is weird. He listens closely while Tony keeps the hunter busy. So there's a remote or something.

Spider-man jumps and webs Skulker again, this time using his momentum to pull himself up close to the hunter.

"Kid!" He heard Tony yell out but Peter ignored it, narrowly avoiding a blast from Iron Man. He was already in trouble, may as well go for broke.

"Hey! Weird running into you here!" He quips cheerily. "I just need-" he goes to try and grab the control that seems to be attached to the man's arm. "To shut this off."
