One day after the Battle of New York, major media news networks around the world were reporting and running thousands of videos of the battle. Some debating about the battle and the Avengers themselves, and people cheering for the heroes.

"Despite the devastation of what has been confirmed as an extraterrestrial attack, the extraordinary heroics of the group known as the Avengers has been to many cause not only for comfort, but for celebration." an MSNBC reporter said.

"It's just really great knowing they're out there. That someone is watching over us." a guy said, being interviewed.

"I love you, Thor!" a random fangirl said.

"And then these guys were like, pew pew. And then the air goes, boom. And this green guy walks up and he goes...rrrraahh." a little kid said mimicing the Avengers.

"I don't know. I don't exactly feel safer with those things out there." a guy said.

"It just seems that there's a lot they're not telling us." another reporter said.

"I'm proud for Daniel. I never expected that he's not the only one with special abilities." Mr. Lancer said as Amity Park celebrates for Danny and the other Avengers.

"Superheroes in New York? Give me a break." an old man with a mustache and shades said.

"Danny Phantom is gonna have a lot of challenges ahead of him since he's the youngest of that group." a man with black hair said.

"These so-called 'heroes' have to be held responsible for the destruction done to this city. This was their fight. Where are they now?" New York Senator Boynton said questioning the Avengers.

"Tough questions are being asked about the Avengers themselves. Their sudden appearance and equally sudden disappearance..." a news reporter said.

"What, this is all somehow their fault?" the waitress, Beth, who Steve saved back at the bank, said. "Captain America saved my life. Wherever he is, and wherever any of them are, I would just... I would want to say thank you."

Other videos shows people wearing Avengers T-shirts, getting tattoos of Captain America's shield, children playing Avenger's action figures, etc.

...

In Central Park, the Avengers has assembled for one final time, with Loki in chains and a muzzle. Everyone, except for Thor, was in civilian clothing. Selvig grabbed a glass-tube like device, Tony opens a briefcase that contains the Tesseract and Bruce placed the Tesseract in the device. After Thor pats Selvig's arm and promise his new allies that he'll return, he took the device and gave one end to Loki, who reluctantly took it. Thor gave one final nod. Thor activates the Tesseract and sends himself, Loki, and the Tesseract back to Asgard. With their mission finally complete and the world saved, the Avengers starts to exchange farewells. Steve shook hands with Tony. Natasha handed Bruce a new set of clothes, before he departs with Tony with Danny waving them goodbye. Danny gave Natasha a hug and gave Clint a fist bump before the two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents departed. Finally, Danny said goodbye to Steve, who has finished signing Danny's vintage set of Captain America cards and climbed onto a motorcycle. Danny thanked Steve for signing his cards, before the Super Soldier starts heading back to his apartment in the city. Finally, Danny goes ghost and starts the long journey back to Amity Park, can't wait to tell his family and friends about his big adventure. However, Danny also knew this isn't the last time he would see his new friends, and he is happy to know that it has made him feel that he isn't the only one in the world with special abilities and a rough life. He now has a place in him.

Back at the Helicarrier, Fury was having a discussion with the World Security Council.

"Where are the Avengers?" Malick asked.

"I'm not currently tracking their whereabouts. I'd say they've earned a leave of absence." Fury replied, crossing his arms.

"And the Tesseract?" Hawley asked.

"The Tesseract is where it belongs. Out of our reach." Fury replied.

"That's not your call." Malick said.

"I didn't make it. I just didn't argue with the god that did." Fury commented.

"So, you let him take it and the world criminal, Loki, who should be answering for his crime." Malick said.

"Oh, I think he will be." Fury smirked.

"I don't think you understand what you've started, letting the Avengers loose on this world. They're dangerous." Hawley said.

"They surely are, and the whole world knows it. Every world knows it, and every dimension knows it." Fury stated.

"Was that the point of all this? A statement?" Malick asked.

"A promise." Fury said.

With that, he cuts the transmission and walks back to the Helicarrier's bridge where Maria Hill is waiting for him.

"Sir, how does it work now? They've gone their separate ways. Some, pretty extremely far. If we get into a situation like this again, what happens then?" Hill asked.

"They'll come back." Fury replied before looking out the windows.

"Are you really sure about that?" Hill asked.

"I am." Fury said.

"Why?" Hill asked.

"Because we'll need them to." Fury said, not even glancing at her

With that, Hill goes back to work.

And from that day on, a group of heroes was united against a common threat, to fight the battles that nobody never could. And when that day comes again, the Avengers will assemble once again.
