It's been a year since Eddie,Venom, and Penny became friends those two looked after her like older brothers would and she was thankful and hated it at the same time. They were way to observant for the eleven year olds liking.He always asked about bruises and scraps,but she was good at coming up with a convincing lie and they were so good that she believed them half the time.
Today was not one of those days she was working side by side with Eddie on a report since that was his job and she was interning under him at this small newspaper the daily bagel.Venom kept complaining about being hungry saying it was something in the air making him drool he just couldn't place it. Let's just say Eddie wasn't pleased to have to eat every five minutes.They were leaving the small office building after exposing a corrupt business man of fraud saving people their jobs and money.
Together they walked to a small hole in the wall cafe to celebrate. She ordered a blueberry scones with a Mexican hot chocolate and he ordered a chocolate muffin with a black coffee. The older man said hell wait and told her to go off and get their seats. The girl went off to get a booth while he waited for their stuff.
Penny was seated looking down at blueprints she was sketching out of a robot of some kind frequently weaving the pencil between her fingers,while eating some trail mix. The young adult came up behind her sitting down the food before lifiting her from around her midsection out of the seat in a hug. "You did great kid. He was sweating bullets when you hit him with the countless unpaid lawsuits for fraud and imbezilment." Eddie said with a laugh,but it was cut short when she gunted in pain. He sat her down quickly pulling away V made him inhale deeply through his noise and white covered his eyes before his brown orbs came back. Looking down in horror he saw his red coated hands. "WHAT THE FU—" A handful of trail mix was shoved into his mouth as people looked over at them. "Shut up,stupid!" She hissed at him using her other hand to push him down in a seat.
The red sweatshirt she wore had a large damp spot that could be confused with a water spill,but looking back at his hands he knew better. "W-why is there blood? Why are you bleeding and don't give me none of that bull." Eddie said in a quite hiss. For a year they saw every bruise,burn,and cut that were visible and fresh. Each time she told him a full proofed lie with not too much detail to give away,but enough to be responsible and despite his career in investigational reporting he couldn't see the signs no matter how loudly they screamed at him. Eddie felt like he failed,Venom feels he didn't protect her like he promised himself and the proof of that sticks and dries to their hands glancing up when he saw movement a to-go thing of wet wipes was infront of him and he gladly took them.
First couple months of their friendship was rocky she didn't trust him fully with anything and stayed closed off not saying much about her home life,but she talked a bit about herself with most of their conversations centered around him and V. Eddie should have saw the way she reacted when startled or how she tried to hold back when she fliched at a harsh noise. Venom could smell the fear rolling off of her in waves when she realized what time it was.He didn't see the way Penny held back in arguments when someone's voice went over a certain level. It might not have been noticed then,but it's noticeable now."Did someone do this to you?" He asked in a quite tone as if he was trying not to spook her like some injured animal.
Penny looked down at the open coffee cup the whip cream having melt into the dark brown liquid. She nodded her head not having the courage to look him the the eyes and how could she. He trusted her with his alter ego and enough to tell her so much about himself...hell even let her stay at his apartment during weekends Peter was at Ned's. Lying became so easy that it became a way of life first lying to Ben and May about the accident then about the camp she goes to during the summer, then Peter about what happened at home,and Finally Eddie about everything.
He wanted a better response then a nod so he started naming. "Was it May?" He asked and was answered with a small no that he didn't think was convincing either of them. "Peter does he know about this should I tell hi–?" Eddie question was cut of by just the response he wanted. "No!!" She yelped her brown eyes shot up to him in shock. "He doesn't know and he doesn't need to know." Penny's voice dropped to a lower volume. Her dad told her to look out for Peter and if he found out this was happening he'd blame himself not her,not Aunt May,but himself for not realizing or even asking if anything was going on.
"Can we go somewhere else,please?" She said not wanting to be so open to eavesdropping from other patrons. Eddie nodded as he stood up carrying his stuff as she did the same. They walked in silence as the left walking down the street to his apartment. Togther they sat on the balcony as silent tears rolled down her face as she spilled her guts. As she spoke about each incident his face morphed into one pure anger and hatred. Penny got one look at him and quickly silenced her sob story thinking it was directed at her.
Standing up she goes to leave when he gently grabbed her arm. "Where else are you hurt?" They went inside where she lifted of her sweatshirt reviling thickly wrapped gaze completly around her torso some spots soaked red from moving all day. "I have to do something." Eddie said to her and she nodded. The suffering had to end and after two more months it did. CPS came into the Parker apartment along with the police with photos of her injuries and the conditions of the apartment before she's forced to clean it. Peter was confused since they didn't give him details about what happened and Penny acted just as confused infront of him.
If only she had known the lies Aunt May told him when she wasn't around. That on that day the glass of lies she filled was half full even is she told herself it was half empty. Penny should have known that May told Peter from the get go that she was the cause of all the death in their family all the bad. The definition of a she devil got something right though Parker luck started with one bad apple to rotten the whole tree. She didn't want to admit it to herself,but maybe she was the apple that just needed to be plucked. As always she'll keep that to herself in her safe box of secrets under lock and key.

A/n: I want at least 2 female rule models for Penny,but that role model can't be a Avenger or with them sorry Nat[she already called dibs on Pete]and Pep.
The reason why it can't be a Avenger will be revealed in later chapters when Spiderman rises along with another web slinger.
So comment some names must be MCU(maybe DCU) related....Who ever is the majority voted 1st and 2nd place are the winners
I promise to whoever reads this story I'll dedicate a whole ass chapter to fluff because I've been drowning this story in angst and trigger warnings.
