Spider woman/ Penny Parker 

The Avengers were all relaxing in the common room, watching some movie Clint insisted on them watching for fun. Most of them were half asleep on their couches having just gotten home from a tiring mission. But unknown to the team a certain spider was slowly swinging towards the tower in search of some help. 

Penny wasn't sure what had happened that night, she was out on patrol like normal and was heading back to her apartment with aunt May when she heard gun shots in the distance. Swinging towards the noise, Penny tried asking Karen if there was any reports but remembered that Mr. Stark was updating her AI at the tower. Penny was supposed to swing by tomorrow to put it back in the suit. 

Cursing lightly under her breath, Penny uses her strong hearing to locate the gunshots. There she sees 5 criminals robbing a bank, they shot the glass out of the window to get in. 

Quickly slipping into the bank on the ceiling Penny jumps down" You know it's not nice to steal peoples money" Penny manages to subdue one member with her webs alone, sticking him to the ceiling when he ran at her. 

The other 4 seem to be smarter and start shooting, Penny dodges thanks to her spidey sense and begins taking them out one by one. 

Exhausted Penny counters the men now stuck to various surfaces in the bank,' 1,2,3,4,5 wait where is the fifth one?' A burning pain rushes through Pennys side.

One of the robbers manages to get a hand free and shot Penny in the side, luckily it only grazed but it sure hurt. Penny quickly subdues the finally robber and hears the sirens in the distance. 

After making sure the police had it covers she swings herself to a nearby roof, swaying slightly she catches herself as she falls to the ground, inspecting her side. 'That does not look pretty' Penny thinks to herself. 

She can't go to the hospital, and May isn't at home tonight, realizing her only choice is to contact Mr. Stark. The man would often help Spidergirl when she got injured though she manages to hide the majority of them from him even though Karen and Friday were snitches whenever she got injured. 

Barely awake, Penny pulls herself up, and despite the pain in her side jumps off the building swinging as carefully as she can towards the tower, with one hand wrapped around herself to slow the bleeding. 

The Avengers are bolted awake by a tapping on the glass besides them. SpiderGirl. 

Tony jolts up to open the window, the other avengers have only seen SpiderGirl with her mask on during a few missions. Tony is the only one who knows her real identity as Penny often works in the lab with him while the other avengers deal with all the smaller missions. 

"Underoos! What are you doing here? Finally decided to join us for movie ni- woah" Tony catches the wobbling girl who can barely keep herself upright. 

"Sorry M-Mr. Stark, I would've called a-ahead b-but Karen isn't i-in my suit right n-now" 

"Oh my" Tony gasps feeling the blood seeping from her side, Tony rushes Penny over to the kitchen as it wouldn't take too long to get to med-bay. Placing Penny on the counter, he grabs a nearby first aid kit, one of many that he has stashed around the tower. 

Penny groans, reaching a shaking hand up and pulling off her mask. The other Avengers stare in shock, underneath that mask, is a young girl, with light curly brown hair, that is currently sticking to her forehead in sweat. The girl then releases her suit, pulling the top down to her waist still dressed in a sports bra. 

Her right side is bloody and red, slowly healing itself but not fast enough to avoid infection without help. Bruce rushes forward to help Tony clean the area and wrap it up. The rest of the Avengers joining them in the kitchen watching the young girl bite her cheek to keep in any noises of discomfort as Tony brushes her hair out of her face murmuring words of comfort to the young girl. 

When Bruce steps away, her side is already starting to look better with the assistance of medicine to fight any infection her healing factor is working better. It is then Penny notices all the Avengers around her and stares wide eyed at them before glancing at Mr. Stark. 

"What happened Pen?" Tony asks, helping Penny off the counter, ignoring the others stares and settling Penny into his previous spot on the couch. 

"Robbery, 5 guys, they had these weird gun, I thought I had them all webbed up but one had an arm free and shot me as I was leaving" Penny says with a yawn, exhausted from a long day of school and patrol. 

Tony nods, "and you couldn't contact me because we are updating Karen?" 

Penny nods, leaning a head onto Tony's shoulder ready to fall asleep. 

"Uh, Tony?" Bruce calls attention back over to the others in the room. 

Penny nods when Mr. Stark glances at her, she's too tired to formally introduce herself, Mr. Stark can do it. 

"Avengers, This is Penny Parker, Spidergirl" 

Natasha comes forward, draping a blanket over the half asleep girl, who gives a radiant smile in return before making herself more comfortable. 

"How old is she Tony?" Natasha asks sitting on Penny's other side. "She's 16, she got these powers shortly after turning 14, I met her over a year ago." 

Penny has now fallen asleep against Tony's side, all the Avengers settling back onto their couches quietly as to not wake the small injured girl, who unknown to them would be completely fine by morning. And unknown to Penny, the girl had just gained many overprotective aunts and uncles after that radiant smile had lite up her face.
