The sound of change dropping in the paper machine allowed her to open the cloudy plastic door of the metal box. She pulled the news paper out and folded it under her arm as she dropped her board on the ground and continued to roll down the streets of New York.
She got the paper for her article. Although her and Eddie have a digital and visual blog that they post to,but to get money they hand over a version more edited to the daily bugal to get paid. It's been around a week since the battle and everything was just now going back to normal and functioning properly construction still going on around certain area though. Penny made it a habit to check the paper to see what was added since they got the raw event but not the response after it. Getting to the stairs to go to the subway she jumped off and kicked the board up pulling out her metro card to get on. Sitting down on the seat closest to the doors she opened the newspaper and began to read it.
The usual was up front nothing she didn't know already,but what was new was the speech the Avengers had on the subject basically apologizing and paying for the damage along with compensation. The brunette chuckled at the final line of the article. 'Would money be enough?' flipping the page to get to the coupon area to rip them out for groceries later. "It never is." She hummed as she carefully pulled the black and white printed paper at ever dotted line.
Making it to her stop she got off and walked to the orphanage with the paper folded into her backpack and pocket full of cheap deals. Walking into the house she immediately went upstairs to get a hour of sleep before going to one of her jobs. The moment her head hit the pillow she was out of it,but meanwhile across New York her twin brother was freaking out and calling Mrs.Adams.
At Stark Tower
Peter was at his internship in the lab with Mr.Stark working on designs for the Spiderman suit given the slight malfunction while paroling and having a run in with electro. "Kid I'm having a epiphany." The billionaire said as he spun around in his wheelie chair with a pen to his temple. "W-what is it Mr.Stark?" He asked confused. "I want to foster you." Peter was in shock to say the least and started stumbling over his words as he tried to grasp the situation. "What m-mr. St-tark why would y-ou? What?!" The genius waved his hand to silence him as he stood up. "I know I'm amazing. Go get your bags kid I'm signing the papers in two hours." Tony hummed as he went over to the mini fridge for a snack.
"NO!" Peter shouted in a state of shock. He didn't mean to yell it,but it wouldn't have come out any other way. The youngest Parker by three minets and forty-one point two seconds was use to saying no to the idea of fostering,he had to stick with his sister like she stuck with him. They were a packed deal. "N-no. I can't...I can't leave my twin." The said with a sheepish smile.
It clicked in his mind,Tony forgot the kid had a sibling let alone a twin. She has been in his tower before right under his nose,but she was nothing when in comparison to Peter she had the same grades,but no I.Q testing or Stark results so she was merely one int the million. The billionaire had the money and this was just a temporary thing the team agreed the love having Peter around after he's been there for a month so what's wrong with two kids and by the end of it they can go back after the heat of the battle cooled down.
Tony didn't want to use the kid,he'll he might have adopted him after awhile,but the sister put a fork in those plans he didn't need two children he can barely handle himself. "I'm taking both of you in." He slapped on a charming smile only genuine towardw Peter. The older brunette only wanted the kid not the baggage he came with. Parkers brown eyes lit up as he hurriedly got his phone out to call Mrs.Adams since this was their shared phone. He rambled on to her about the news and that he was head their soon. Pete begged the woman bot to tell his sister and to wait for it to be a suprise. And what a fucking suprise is was.
Back to the Orphanage
Penny woke up from her power nap and started to change into clothes for the diner when Mrs.Adams came into the room a soft smile pulled on her red painted lips. "Dare some people thinking of fostering are coming in a hour can you please stay you and only a few others are in the age group the agreed upon." She said so calmly it would have been a dick move if Pen turned her down especially how kinds she's been to her. "I can only stay for thirty minutes.. forty-five tops. I can't stay over time I'm picking up groceries." The blackette nodded her head before leaving the room. Continuing to get dressed she slipped a sweater over the clothes and some loose fitting pants so she looked somewhat presentable.
Sitting on her bed she looks over blue prints as she picked up the sound of Peter running up the steps. Closing the prints she put them in her bag as he slammed into the room smiling big. "Pack you bag! Now now now!" Penny frowned as he rushed and got his one large suit case from the closet. "Why? No one would take in two teens." The male twin only smiled bigger seemingly to exited to utter a word. The long haired brunette rolled her eyes before starting to pack.
Her suitcase was big,but half of it was used for her hidden items that where in a secret lining of it. Throwing in close haphazardly she then carefully put anything that wasn't her two pairs of jean,hand full of shirts,and two sweaters in before closing in it. Turning back to face her brother about to open her mouth to say something when a shout was heard. "Parkers down stairs please!" With that the two filed out Peter seemed to skip down the stairs as Penny dragged her feet.
Looking up Penny bit into her tounge to keep the line of curses from seeping out. Anthony Fucking Stark was here probably specifically for Peter,but more importantly the news coverage that nobody in this room,but Penny knew she filmed and wrote. Stark wanted to impress the public,Peter wanted a family again with his sister,and Penny wanted to be dragged to the pits of hela. Being a anti-hero with a vigilante brother was hard enough,but add living under the roof of a dozen heroes. Not even added what else she does in her spare time.
Keeping secrets from Peter for his safety was like breathing air to Penelope. Not telling the full truth came as naturally as blinking,but this was a while new ball park. Penny was to put up a front to stay hidden around them all,a wolf dressed as a sheep already standing out with black wool in the sea of white.
How long can secrets be kept with no end in sight and two masked heroes about to grab alot of attention from a group in a ivory tower

A/n: Now Tony is getting the twins with not the best intentions in mind,but is that only for Penny or is it just temporary.
Peter stays clueless,but for how long would he stay out of the loop...will he do too little before it's too late
