IV
Everything that went wrong did. Penny Parker shouldn't have been surprised by now, but for some reason she still was. The plan had failed completely, utterly failed and she had fallen flat on her face. How could she had been such an idiot?
Of course this wouldn't work. Even Wade who went headfirst into everything knew that it wouldn't work. Oscorp was like Stark Enterprises and it had cameras and security guards everywhere.
Penny had managed to play the part of intern pretty well up until she got to the seventh floor. On the seventh floor, the office of the CEO of Oscorp was located, as well as all the files that would be able to tell Penny if she was the next tester bunny.
She saw that the door of the CEO's office was opened and Penny quickly got in. She had planned to go in and get out as quickly as she got into the files. Would it be paper files? Or computer files? Did people use paper files anymore?
Before she had even managed to get to one of the drawers, security and the CEO's secretary came in before Penny could even move. She didn't resist arrest and she was taken to the local jail along with Wade. Wade had managed to fight most of them off, but he wouldn't leave without Penny, not to mention one of the cops had tasered him and he had fallen to the floor. Not fun at all. So both of their asses, got hauled off to jail.
Both of them were put into a small cell and now Penny was pacing around like some kind of lunatic. "You don't understand, Wade. Aunt May is going to literally kill me, and she almost killed me when she found out that I am Spider-Woman. She is going to re kill me. Not to mention that this is going to go on my permanent record. Oh, God what if I get a felony. I can't get a felony. If I get a felony I will never go to college. Not that I want to go to college exactly, but it would be nice to get an option."
"Pen-"
"And Mr. Stark, Mr. Stark is totally going to kill me and Ms. Potts- is going to be so embarrassed-"
"Penny," Wade shook her. "It is going to be fine, babe. Will you calm down for one second. You are losing your cool and it is not cute at all. Is May picking you up?"
Penny nodded. "I called her, she sounded freaked, but not terribly pissed off. So that's good. She's going to pay the fine and get me out of here, but what about you Wade?" Both of his parents had died and he was currently in the foster care system, but he disliked both of his foster parents.
"Me? Don't worry about me, Toots. I am not the one that is going to get yelled at." Wade joked. "I will be fine as soon as Aunt May comes to pick you up, I'll get the hell out of here and kick a couple of cop asses on the way."
"But this will go on your record," Penny bit her lip. "Again, and they will find you."
"They can try, but they won't. I'm sneakier than a fox."
Penny felt guilt in the pit on her stomach. The last thing that she wanted to do was hurt Wade or cause any problems for him and it looked like she was doing just that. "I'm sorry. You were right it was a stupid plan. But I will get Mr. Stark to clear this off your record-"
Wade snorted. "Penny, your mentor wouldn't help me if I was the last dude on the planet-"
"Yes, he would."
"No, I wouldn't."
Penny and Wade turned around and saw Tony Stark standing there with a pissed off look on his face. The last time that Penny had seen him this angry was when the ferry boat had nearly ripped apart and all of those people had almost died. In fact, he looked even more pissed off if that was possible.
Penny couldn't help, but bow her head slightly in shame. The last thing that she wanted was to worry Mr. Stark or hurt his feeling and now it seemed like Penny had done both at the same time.
"Mr. Stark, I-"
"No talking," Tony snapped. In a much calmer, much less threatening voice he said towards the police officer that was standing next to him, "I already paid the fine. Could you let her go please, and only her."
The police officer nodded as he opened the cell door to let Penny out, but he closed it when Wade attempted to get out. Wade threw the police officer a dirty look and he smirked.
Penny looked at the floor and led herself be led back by Tony, but she still managed to steal a glance back at Wade. Natasha was standing there at the other side of the door. If Penny hadn't been scared shitless at that particular moment, she would have gaped at the beautiful redhead. She was everything that Penny aspired to be strong, hardworking, and she didn't take shit from anybody.
She would have probably gone all fan girl on her if she wasn't terribly annoyed at how everything had played out. Penny just wanted to go home, she was worried about Wade, but she knew he knew how to get out of these kind of situations. Perhaps a little too well.
"Are you ok?" Natasha asked with concern and Penny nodded. She was too embarrassed to speak. She didn't want to have her first conversation with Natasha Romanoff in jail.
"She's fine." Tony said. He sounded irritable. The three of them exited the police station and Natasha quickly said that she was going to take her motorcycle back to HQ. Penny and Tony entered the car and Penny could tell that Happy was giving her a disapproving look from the review mirror.
"Happy," Tony told him. "Could you give us some privacy?"
"Sure thing, boss." He put the screen up that divided the front and back part of the car.
There was an awkward silence until Tony spoke up, he was practically shaking in anger. "What the hell were you thinking?"
"I-"
"I tell you what you were thinking, you weren't thinking at all," Tony snapped. "You went in, head first like a fourteen year old brat-"
"I'm fifteen," she snapped. "And I went there for a good reason, Oscorp is after me. They want to use me as their test bunny. I just needed to prove it."
"Who told you that?" Tony demanded. "Was it that asshole that you were locked up with. Did he put you up to this?"
Penny blurted out, "Wade didn't put me up to this. He didn't want me to do this at all."
"Wade?" Tony repeated. "So, you do know him. Penelope, is he your boyfriend?"
"He is." She didn't want to lie anymore, especially since that would probably piss Tony off even more.
"How long has he been your boyfriend?"
Penny gulped. "A few months." Tony let out a series of curse words. "I'm sorry, I should have told you and May-"
"Damn right, you should have." He narrowed his eyes at her. He was filled with so much disappointment and anger. "You got arrested, Miss Parker. You're lucky you didn't end up with charges on your criminal record. Those records could affect if a college accepts you. It could affect if you get a job, you need to think Penelope."
Penny could feel her temper boiling over. "I am thinking!"
"Well, you are obviously not." Tony snarled as he knocked on the window pane. "Happy, drive us to Miss Parker's apartment."
