FFH spoilers? I guess?

I haven't seen it yet, so it's really just the first two lines, but the first two lines are a big spoiler.

After that, it's completely AU.

Set after FFH post credits scene.

Penny Stark, the biological daughter of Tony Stark, goes underground after her identity is revealed, and she is charged with the murder of Quentin Beck, also known as Mysterio.

She stayed missing for six months, unaware that back home, she had the biggest surprise of her life waiting for her.

It might not be what she was dreaming about, but it was one she needed.

"Spidergirl's name is-"

"Spidergirl's name is Penny Stark!"

"And back to you, Anna, after this shocking clip."

"Apparently the Spidergirl we know and love, isn't the Spidergirl we know and love." The news anchor leaned forward, addressing the camera with a serious look. "If we can't trust our heroes, who can we trust?"

"I disagree, Ann, because we know our Spidergirl." Her male counterpart sent a sincere stare at the screen. "We know the red and blue hero that gives directions to tourists, and helps old women carry their groceries. We know nothing about this 'Mysterio' character. For all we know, the video was edited! I believe in Spidergirl."

"Fury." She was surprised how even her tone was, considering this was the man who had lied to her, tricked her, hurt her by betraying her trust, and yet she was able to greet him without hate boiling in her voice.

That didn't mean it wasn't simmering in her chest.

"What are you doing here?" She asked flatly. "Or should I just trust that you've probably got something else to hurt me with."

"Penny. I care about you, contrary to popular belief."

"So did my parents. So did Ben, and May. So did Tony," she bit back. "And they're dead now. So should I expect you to keel over? Be a bit much to hope for, honestly. Maybe I could go undercover peacefully. I'm already a wanted criminal. Don't make me have a real count of murder on my record. Get out of my house, or so help me I will-"

"You're not," he interrupted. "A criminal. Never were, but your name's cleared. Mrs Stark pulled some strings, got the best investigation into the matter that money could buy, and here we are. You're free as a bird."

Penny blinked. "You're joking."

Her voice was blank, as was her face, and her eyes were the only thing showing emotion, holding such contempt that he physically recoiled.

"Why would you think that I'd trust you?" She asked conversationally. "Could be another one of your tricks. You can't be a wanted criminal for six months and just- be absolved. Sorry. Justice system's rules, not mine."
