⚠️TRIGGER WARNING⚠️ABUSE
I will put a 🥨at the beginning and end of the part with abuse.

"Hey, Penelope! Come downstairs!" Tony Stark called.

Penelope heard and ran downstairs. "Yes dad?"

"You get to go to real school when the school year starts."

"Thank you dad!" She runs up and hugs her dad. "By the way, is it okay if Peter comes over today?"

"Yeah that's fine. Just no funny business."

"Of course dad. I don't even like him like that. We're just friends. And it's not like I could even if I wanted too."

They hear a knock at the door and Penelope runs to open it.

"Peter!" She sequels and jumps into his arms.

"Well hello to you too," Peter laughs, spinning her.

He sets her down and she can't stop smiling. "Sorry it's just I haven't seen you in year."

"I know. It's been too long. No one should ever have to go that long without their best friend." He replies.

"What do you say we get some snack then go watch a movie upstairs?" Penelope asks him.

"That sounds great, Pen."

"See you later dad!"

The two eighteen year old made their way into the kitchen and they each grabbed a spoon, a thing of ice cream, and a thing of popcorn.

"What movie should we watch?" Penelope asked Peter.

"I was thinking Jurassic Park or Star Wars."

"Ooh... definitely Star Wars."

They finished up getting their snacks and headed to Penelope's bedroom.

Peter took his usual spot on the left side of her bed and she took her usual spot on the left.

They started the movie and about halfway through they finished their snacks.

About ten minutes later, they had both fallen asleep, but Penelope's leg was across Peter's, her arm over his waist, and her head buried in his chest.

Penelope's Dream-

"Mom?" Penelope crawled on the ground, trying to find a way out.

"Mom, I need you. Don't leave me please!" Penelope fell to the ground, tears streaking her face. "I-I can't do this. P-please let me out..."

Two men walked into the room and licked her up by her arms. She started to kick and struggle against the men but she soon grew tired.

The men carried her into a white room with a medical table with restraints. The men strapped her to the table and she started thrashing and one of the men started to cut her arm.

He made small marks in her arm at first, followed by larger ones. He then went to her legs and started cutting there too. The other man went to her arm and started injecting things in the cuts.

She was screaming until eventually she could scream no more. Her tears had gone dry and voice had gone hoarse.

🥨

Penelope jolted out of bed, sweat beading her forehead.

"Pen, you okay?" Peter asked, worried.

"Y-no. I'm not gonna lie. I-I'm not okay. I-it was one of the nightmares again."

"They came back? Why didn't you tell me?"

She nodded. "They came back a few months ago while you were away."

"Pen, I'm so sorry." Peter reached over to her and hugged her. "Let's get some junk food okay? I know that usually makes you feel better."

She nods and they both start to get out of the bed. She stands up and falls back to the bed, her legs are shaking so uncontrollably that she can't even stand on them.

"How about I carry you downstairs?" He offers.

She nods and he walks over to her side of the bed and picks her up, bridal style.

"Friday please open the door."

The AI doesn't respond to Peter, it only opens the door for them to walk out.

Peter carries Penelope downstairs and they get to the kitchen counter. "I'm gonna set you down right here Pen." He sets her down then walks to the fridge. "What do you want?"

"Milk and cookies." She says with the ghost of a smile on her face.

Stark comes out into the kitchen from his lab. "What are you two still doing up?"

"She had a nightmare again," Peter responds. "I'm just helping her. I know when they used to happen junk food usually helped."

"Okay. Get to bed soon." Stark walked away and Peter walked back to Penelope, milk and cookies in hand.

"Thank you, Peter."

"Anything for you." He kisses the top of her head and sits down at the counter next to you.

The two spend a few hours downstairs talking and then they head back up to the bed and turn on the next Star Wars to fall asleep to.

Penelope lays her head on his chest and he wraps his arm around her. "Goodnight Pen."

"Night Peter. Thank you."
