Summary: It's all part of the job, yet sometimes those parts of the job aren't what you wanted. So when one bad thing leads to another and Grace's superhero secret is revealed in front of the Avengers. It's all part of the job comes with a much more real meaning than before.
It was a late night of patrolling. I had stayed out a little too late working on stopping a robbery, then you had to help a drunk woman home, then stopped a mugging, then people decided to try and rob another store, then a mugging, and so on and so on. It also probably didn't help that this was one of the nights when you went patrolling alone instead of with Peter. I also ended up on the other side of town and had to run the whole way back to the tower. On top of that you had to take the long way around because of a robbery earlier that you had stopped. People would still be there looking for me and I don't need them tracking me home.
So, you got back an hour and a half later than the two of you had set as your 'curfew.' I slipped through my window carefully using my smaller set of claws to keep myself from falling off of the ceiling. It had small claw marks in it from the previous times you had climbed in through the window and stayed on the ceiling. Friday didn't normally deal with heat signatures, so you were fine in that way. I crept over to the doorway and carefully shut the door pushing it with my head before dropping down onto the floor with a sigh of relief. Safely back in my room, I pulled off my mask and smiled. No reason to shift back to my normal form.
I turned around and had to hold in a yelp of shock when i saw Tony sitting on my bed. "What the heck are you doing in my room!" I cried. I had to ignore the fact that I was a superhero. Maybe he would brush it off and not care. He is my legal guardian after all. My parent!
"That's not important." He seemed fine, until the next sentence. "So, you are Queen's beloved 'Alpha Moon'." He put air quotes on his last words and I started to hear some evil and hate behind his calm mask. Though it could have been my mind tricking me since I had pictured this situation one too many times. "The one who has been a pain in my tush for the past couple of years. You are the one who damaged my suit! Cap's shield! And is constantly wasting all of our equipment. A damn fifteen year old!"
"Um... I'm sixteen." I tried, attempting to use a joking tone to lighten the mood.
"Shut the heck up!" He growled. "The adult is talking! You, you cannot do this." I flinched at those words. I couldn't just give up being Alpha Moon. With great power comes great responsibility and all that jazz! "Give me the suit. You can't do it anymore."
"I can't give up this!" I exclaimed. "You know what I told you when you asked us why we did it before inviting us to help you in Leipzig!" I felt tears start to well up in my eyes as I tried desperately to prove my point. I tried my absolute hardest to continue paying attention, but I couldn't. My second mistake that night.
He raised his hand, the nanotech forming his gauntlet. "Well, if you're not going to come with me I'll have to do it by force." He always seemed so much less intimidating in his suit, but now I could clearly see his angry dad face. Not even a dad face. Evil villain face.
"Dad, I can't! You know as much as I can. Please! Just let me go!" I begged. The tears started to drip down my face now. I was tense now, preparing for a fight if it came down to that. Worst possible situations showcased through my head. The whole world knowing my identity then the whole world looking for me. The Avengers hunting me down, then me being shunned from society. Being put in prison for my life though I have done nothing wrong.
"Don't call me Dad. This is your last chance. You can surrender now or the Avengers waiting on the other side of the door will bust in and help me." I stilled my heartbeat and noted the heartbeats and breathing on the other side of the door. I started plotting.
"Ok, just, one request?" He raised an eyebrow at me. "Don't bring Peter into this. He didn't know. I don't care what excuse you make, just don't blame him. Please." I saw him give a slight nod. "And one question? Am I gonna be allowed back? As, me?" I saw pain flicker across his eyes for a nanosecond. Maybe even less.
"No. You resisted for too long." I sighed. Welp, time for Plan E. Short for plan escape. A plan we made up in case the Avengers ever found out about our identity and would lock us up. I tapped the button on my wrist that would let Peter know next time he used Karen. I might be out to patrol again, but no guarantees if this ends up going horribly wrong. "Grace Parker-Stark, you are under arrest." I sighed.
"I'm sorry," you whispered in a voice no one would be able to hear from their locations. I moved closer to Tony with my hands behind my back. When I was right in front of him I swiftly gave him a punch to the face, knocking him out. "Sorry, Dad." Shame the only time I called him dad was when he hated me. I rushed towards the window and leaped out, shattering the glass in the process. I pulled on my mask while I was falling, and put myself into the position to go down the fastest. I pulled out with my parachute and took off across the rooftop.
I heard people, but I ignored them, rushing to the safe space. I got to the woods and shifted into my wolf form continuing my run until I found the den. I slipped inside and traveled to the furthest corner, waiting as I heard them pass by. I sighed as I realized that life would never go back to normal.
In the months following Peter would visit me on occasion after my identity was released. I stayed in my wolf form, not daring to come out with the risk of getting caught. Eventually the hunt died down, but not enough I could show my face. That would never work. Besides, spending months in my wolf form is gonna take its toll if I do go back to human. We're trying to get to the point where at least Peter could take me in as a pet. Even if I have to wait until he goes to college so I could move in with him. Spider-Man is still out there taking care of the people. His identity is still safe, and they haven't gone after him.
I still wish the best upon the Avengers, even though they are threatening my life. Even if this never ends, I'll be ok. All in the life of a superhero...
