II

Penny made Wade stop his motorcycle one block away from her apartment. May had told her once that if she ever saw her get on a motorcycle that she would be grounded until she went to college. Aunt May, may joked about a lot of things, but Penny guessed that she was not joking about that.

She took of the red helmet and handed the helmet back to Wade. She knew however that he refused to wear it and he didn't need to. He was pretty resistant, but he brought it along for her even though she had told him various of times that she was pretty resistant thanks to her healing abilities.

Penny fixed her skirt and made a mental reminder not to wear a skirt again when she went to visit Wade. "Thanks for the ride."

"At you service, my lady." Wade said in an exaggerated British accent. "Speaking of which when is out next escape? I kind of like this whole sneaking around, gives me a rush."

Penny bit her lip. She felt a bit guilty. This whole sneaking around thing couldn't have been easy for Wade, not to mention that it wasn't fair to him for her to be asking him to continue to sneak around. But Penny felt like she had no other choice. She knew that her aunt, Mr. Stark, Ms. Potts, and Ned wouldn't approve of Wade. For one he was two years older than her, secondly he was a high school drop out compared to her nerdy ass, and thirdly Wade was many things, but he was not a hero. However, he had saved her from those robbers when she had been outnumbered. That's how they had meet.

"I don't know. I have midterms, but I'll text you."

Penny could tell that Wade was disappointed, even though he was wearing his mask. "Ok, babe," he said as he restarted his bike. "I'll see you soon, toodles."

Penny waited Wade's bike was no longer in sight so that she could continue her way back to her apartment. She looked at her watch, she was almost breaking curfew and she couldn't get on May's bad side right now. When Aunt May had found out about Spider Woman, her usually sweet-tempered aunt had nearly killed both her and Mr. Stark.

If it hadn't been for Pepper and Rhodey (who had a very nice position in the U.S government) then she was sure that she and Mr. Stark would have been dead by now.

Penny managed to get to her apartment before Aunt May started freaking out and calling everyone-which she seemed to have done ever since Aunt May found out that Penny was Spider Woman.

The apartment smelled like burnt broccoli once Penny stepped inside and she wrinkled her nose. It seemed that Aunt May had tried to cook again. A dangerous thing to do in her case. "I'm home."

"Finally," Aunt May popped her head out from the kitchen. "I was worried. How was your afternoon with Tony?" To be honest Aunt still didn't care about Tony Stark very much, but she decided to remain civil for Penny's case.

"It was fine," she lied as she got some juice from the fridge. "We worked on a lot of things."

"Like what?"

"Oh, you know. . .stuff?"

Aunt May gave a shaky laugh as she put what looked like over baked casserole on her plate. "Wow, thanks for the elaboration. Are you hungry? I just bought this new cookbook and inside there was this new broccoli and beef casserole that I'm sure you are going to like. . ."


"You look tired," Ned told her the next morning at lunch. He was munching on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich while reading a Batman comic. Batman's face was currently covered with jelly. "Were you out patrolling last night? Or did you get food poisoning because of May's casserole?"

"May's casserole wasn't that bad," Penny lied even though to be honest she had stuffed half of it in napkins when May wasn't looking. "And I'm just tired because we had to do that essay for English. Crap, we have that Spanish quiz today, right?" Spanish was Penny's last class and one that she was easily failing. She couldn't remember the last time that she had done homework for the class.

Ned shook his head. "Jacob who has Spanish in third period told me that Ms. Lopez got sick and our Spanish test was move to tomorrow." Penny breathed a sigh of relief. "I know I felt relief when Jacob told me. We could study together after school, my mom can make us nuggets."

Penny had just been about to agree when her cell phone buzzed. It was Wade. She could tell it was him because his contact was a single bunny emoji.

Wade: We need to talk.

Penny: I can't. I'm at school. You do remember what that is, don't you?

Wade: Toots, it's important. Now.

Penny: Fine, meet me at the corner store. It front of Mr. Delmar.

"Parker, will you stop looking at you damn phone?" Penny looked up and saw MJ chewing gum and looking at her with a disapproval look on her face. "I've been calling your name for five minutes. Why are you so distracted?"

"It's my. . .Aunt May. She needs me to pick up some eggs."

She raised an eyebrow. "Must be some interesting eggs. Like I was saying we are having an extra decathlon meeting after school. 3pm in room 156, don't be late."

"I can't." Penny said as she grabbed her bag. "I need to pick up some eggs."

"Now?" Ned cried out. "Penny, we still have two periods left!"

Penny ignored him as she headed towards the exit.


Tony had just finished a ridiculous conference call with a Chinese business man that Pepper had insisted that he just had to take, and it turned out that it had been a total waste of time. Tony told himself that he was going to get some Japanese food and then he was going to go to his lab. His cell rang.

He had been about to hit ignore when he saw the screenname. Aunt Hottie. May. "Hello?" he answered. He tried to maintain his calm composure. Maybe she was calling for something non-Penny related. "Penny Parker's mentor speaking."

Aunt May sighed with relief. "So she is with you. Honestly, I was scared-"

"Is who with me?"

"Penny." Her voice wavered. "She is with you, isn't she?"

"It's one," Tony headed towards his car. He could practically hear his heart rate elevate thanks to the girl. "She should be at school right now. What happened, May?"

"The school said she ran out in the middle of lunch."

"And they didn't stop her? What kind of school is that?"

"You know how she is," May said. "She can run fast and she won't answer her phone, can you reach her?"

"Will do." He tried to comfort her. "It's probably nothing. Boy band came into town."

"Yeah," May gave a shaky laugh. "Nothing."

End of Part 2

Thank you so much for your reviews! I really appreciate it. This is going to be a pretty short story, I'm thinking maybe ten chapters. Thank you for reading.
