She slowly walks inside and towards her father. "WHAT THE F*CK WERE YOU THINKING PENELOPE?!" My father screams. "Dad.. I was at work." "AND YOU DIDN'T THINK TO TELL ME?? YOUR A LITTLE LIAR! ALWAYS HIDING SH*T!" "You were supposed to be at work.. I-I didn't know." Once again I regretted talking back. He didn't like when I brought up his job which he barely goes to. "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?? YOU DON'T GET TO TALK BACK. JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER ALWAYS THINK YOUR THE BOSS! WELL I AM THE MAN OF THE HOUSE. I AM YOUR FATHER!!" "Then start acting like it!" F*ck I am so dead. He grabs me by the hair and punches me in the nose. Blood starts spilling down to my lips. He hits me again, this time on my chest. Then my arm. Once he has had enough he walks to the kitchen, takes a beer, and walks to his room. Unbelievable. He just acted like nothing even happened. Once he's gone, I run to my room. I can't do this anymore. I don't want to. What's the point of living if i'm living in pain? I look at myself in the mirror. The blood still pouring out of both nostrils, my messy hair, tears streaming down my face. Mj always calls me beautiful. Would she still think i'm beautiful now? I'm worthless. Didn't even fight back. How could I though? He is terrible to me but he's still my father. I just want him to love me. •FLASHBACK• Seven year old Penny cries out. "WOULD YOU SHUT THE F*CK UP?!" Her father yells, taking another sip of his beer. "God she is such a crybaby. Why did I f*cking keep her?" Her mother laughs. "But mommy I th-thought you l-loved me." Penny cried again. And all her parents did was laugh and leave. She was alone. She was gonna be alone forever.
•PRESENT• After Penny takes a shower she heads to bed. Too tired to do anything. Her phone dings. Mj🤍- Hey babe. You doing okay? - How was being at the compound? - Penny I'm starting to get worried. - It's 7:23 you usually text me by now. I smile at the thought of her caring about me. It feels nice to know someone has my back. I text her back saying "Shit Mj I'm so sorry. Today has just been a day." Mj🤍- I understand. He didn't touch you did he? Mj knew my father was an alcoholic who was a shitty father. She didn't know for sure he hit her, but she had her suspicions. I reply with "No no he didn't. I'm fine. I'm okay." It stays on read for a minute until she answers. Mj🤍- Alright I love you Penny. 𝐼 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑡𝑜𝑜．
Penny wakes up and checks the time. 𝟭:𝟰𝟴𝗮𝗺 She sighs. She never can sleep. What's the point anymore? She looks over at her lighter. She takes a breath before lighting her cigarette. She takes a puff and leans back. Pathetic. She lets the smoke out not caring about the smell anymore. What would Tony have to say if he saw her like this? Would he lecture her? Take her suit? 𝙃𝙖𝙩𝙚 her? She likes to think of him as her father figure. But she knew he would never think of her that way. A tear slips down her cheek. She puts her cigarette out. Images of her father, Skip, and Flash start flashing through her brain.
Not again. She thinks as tears just keep falling down her face. She takes her blade and shoves it against her arm as her hair sticks up due to her "spidey senses." Blood trickles down her arm through her sweatshirt. She doesn't care anymore. How many times did she bleed today anyways? "God I'm so tired of everything."
She wakes up drenched in sweat. Every night she has nightmares or flashbacks. Why can't she just sleep normal? The clock says 3:26. Great she only got about an hour of sleep. She decides since she's already awake to go on patrol. "𝙄𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣'𝙩 𝙨𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛, 𝙨𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚." She wipes off the remaining blood on her arm and changes into her suit. She throws her hair in a ponytail and puts on her mask. She sneaks out her window like she always does and makes her way through her city. Swinging from building to building searching for any bad guys. I mean it's only 3 in the morning what did she expect? Finally she finds a tall guy in black trying to rob a gas station. "Woah aren't you fitting the robber stereotype." She laughs. "Oh great the f*cking spider kid." He sighs. "Oh great a guy dressed like he's about to go to his grandmas funeral." I reply. I jump over him and grabs his wrists. I cuff them. Dang this was too easy. Suddenly she hears a BOOM.
Before she can see who did it she feels something pouring out of her shoulder. Shit. I got shot. She thinks. How can I be spider-girl if I can't even dodge a bullet. Luckily it was probably just a shoulder graze. She turns around to see another guy in black. She runs towards him and punches him. He tries to hit back but she dodges all of them. She jumps up, grabs him by the shoulders and flips him backwards with her. She lands on her feet but he lands on his face.
"I could do this all day. Or in this case night." She smirks. She puts handcuffs on him too and searches for more. In her luck, she didn't feel or see any other presence so she calls the police and goes on her way. She checks her watch and sees it's almost 6. She heads back to her apartment roof and falls once she lands. She starts breathing heavy. "Penny you seem to be in distress and in need of medical attention. Would you like me to contact Tony Stark?" KAREN asks. "No no.." She grunts. "There's no need. I'm fine." Her breathing becomes uneven. "You appear to be hyperventilating and bleeding. Boss told me to contact him if you have a panic attack or got hurt on patrol." KAREN pauses then says, "Boss is on his way." "No.." She lays on her back staring at the still dark, sky. She caught the bad guy but still thinks of this as a failure. Her senses should have warned her. She's getting weak. She's- "Kid?"
