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.

"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."
no subject
"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."
no subject
A pause.
"What kind of weird link?"
no subject
"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.'
no subject
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."
no subject
"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."
no subject
"Cool. I'm sure my parents have some other stuff for me to do, so I'll probably be around here."
no subject
"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?"
no subject
"And sometimes it explodes!" Jack adds enthusiastically. "Someday I'll figure out why that always happens around Danny."
no subject
"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.

"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.
no subject
"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."
no subject
"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."
no subject
"Ah well, I suppose they must have time to indulge in foolishness. But on to other matters."
no subject
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?
no subject
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."
no subject
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.

"Dropped my contact." He blurts out. "That's the only reason I'm on the floor like this. It's gotta be here somewhere."
no subject
"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 subject
"Which is?" He presses.
no subject
"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."
no subject
"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."
no subject
"Luckily we're not actually related. He was my parents best friend in college. And he really makes me question their taste in friends."
no subject
no subject
"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?
no subject
"Uh.. I don't think I dropped it here. I'll check by another table."

"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.
no subject
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.
no subject
"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.
no subject
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."
no subject
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.
no subject
"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.
no subject
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.
no subject
"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.
no subject
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.
no subject
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."
