I just want to say that I am so, so sorry it's taken this long. This past month has... drained me. Completely. I am really, really sorry, guys. :/

But, on a happier note, I love you guys. I see every one the reviews you leave, and I love every single one of them. I have the best fans in the world, seriously. You guys are amazing. I know this collection's been winding down, so thank you so much for sticking with it. You guys make this worth writing.

This one's a little bit choppy and more emotional than actual plot-based, but it's meant to be that way. Tell me what you think about it?

If you recognize it, I don't own it.

Screaming-Dani

The sound rent the silence like an alarm, sharp and scared and raw.

He was through the wall separating their rooms before the scream lost air, the darkness before him now washed in an unnatural green. He swallowed around the boulder in his throat, trying not to let the image affect him as much as it did. He knew he couldn't, of course. He loved her too much for that, cared about her far, far too much, but he thought he'd prepared himself.

It still shattered his heart.

Beaming- Kitty

She couldn't help it. No, really, she couldn't. It wasn't something she could stop or deter or anything, even when she wanted to. She loved him. She couldn't help it.

So, when he dropped down on one knee in the dark somewhere near the river, she couldn't help her reaction, she really couldn't. She just felt her heart soar and her lips spread into a smile that she thought would split her skin even as joyful tears slid down her cheeks.

Fleeing-Maddie

Shame. It welled up in her chest and choked her.

She was supposed to be strong. Stable. Secure.

But. But… Her world had just collapsed around her, the universe inverting, and the sky falling and the air thickening around her. She. She couldn't… No.

So she had walked. And walked. And walked. She didn't even know which part of the town she was in, but it wasn't home and… and..

She was a coward.

Grimacing- Walker

It shouldn't have affecting him this much. It shouldn't have. Nope.

But it had. And he could still feel that punk slip from his grasp.

He snarled, breaking the cuffs in his hands as easily as if they were made of foam.

Contentment- Tucker

He looked around him, smiling to himself despite it all. Yes, there was a bruise marking his face from jaw to hairline, but he barely paid it any mind.

His team was all around him. Sam half-collapsed on Danny, her face serene even with the gash from the corner of her mouth to her jaw, her arms wrapped around Danny's waist protectively as if he weren't the one with powers. Danny's face calm, a smile tugging at his lips even with the blood caking his now-black hair and one of his hands tangled in Sam's hair while the other one was intertwined with hers. Jazz's red hair was a tangled mess across his shoulder and her delicate snores barely broke the silence. Dani's legs were tangled with his and Danny's, her head resting in Jazz's lap and one of her burnt hands rested on Tucker's knee.

As broken a picture as they were, they were Tucker's favorite. And there was no one else in the worlds he would rather be.

Looking (Danny Phantom and FullMetal Alchemist)

He stopped to hover right between Sam and Tucker, eyes on the two strangers sitting in the park.

He shook his head, noting the fact that neither looked like they were looking for trouble, despite the metal armor and limbs.

He sighed. "At least they didn't take tips from Skulker."

Fury-Danny

His vision burned red around the edges; just like his aura glowed radiant white and his hands shone green.

Normally, the power echoing through his voice would scare him, make him pause. Today, well, he only snarled. "Where is she?"

Selflessness-Dani

Maybe she was being selfish, trying to take the missions for herself. Maybe. People could call it that, if they wanted to. She didn't really care, honestly. But, well, she'd rather she got pegged with them than her siblings.

She could take Phantom's hits and come out alive. Or as alive as any of them really were. They couldn't. So, she took every mission she could, not because she wanted the honor, but because she couldn't stand it when they came back injured, let alone when they didn't come back at all.

She didn't know if it was selfless or selfish, but she didn't really care.

Thoughtless-Sam

She hadn't been thinking. That was all there was to it. Really. She won't try to make excuses or lie to you, she just wasn't thinking.

She'd thought she'd lost him. There was acid-crimson blood seeping through his suit and gashes covering most of his torso. He looked more dead than alive. She hadn't thought about it when he told her he was okay. No thoughts, just reaction.

She'd kissed him, of course. Hugged him to her and just reveled in the fact that he was alive.

It wasn't until after that she realized that people where staring and he still had blood-caked white hair.

Winking-Danny

They were teenagers, after all. And he just loved the way she smiled when he winked at her.

Misunderstanding- Dash

He looked at his knuckles, at the blood smeared there, the green flecks spread through the crimson stain, and then looked back up at Danny. His lip was bleeding, the strange green-flecked mess oozing down his face.

He stumbled back as Danny wiped the seemingly healing cut, glared at him, and stalked away.

Surprised (Danny Phantom and Avengers)

The agent had a wonderful poker-face. They all had to give him that much. "Give it a thought, Mr. Fenton. We could use someone with your team's know-how on our team."

He left them with a file folder. Sam flipped it open as soon as the he was out of sight. And whistled.

"You realize they have eyes on you, right?" She hadn't looked up from the folder.

"You realize I'm not going anywhere without you guys, right?" Danny said, looking over her shoulder at the files inside.

Tucker snatched a file out of the folder, holding it like it was made of gold. "Dude. You would get to work with Tony Stark. Tony Stark. And Bruce Banner. What is your problem?!"

Sam laughed, "Tucker, quit your fangirling and help us look through the rest of this.

Tell me what you think?

Suggestions are welcome. Surprise me. =]
