This is a Young Justice/ Spectacular Spiderman/other Marvel properties crossover. Third Time's the charm. Spiderman exists, The Black Spider is there, and someone extra is here to. Basically Peter Parker has a twin sister and an older brother.


It's hard to live in your brother's shadows. Or easy, depending on your need to be invisible. Penny deeply needed to be invisible. It offered her safety, security, and privacy.

However, living in her siblings shadows meant that Penny was never once invisible in her entire life. She was a twin, so she was expected to be like Peter i.e. a genius. Penny was smart, sure, but not how Peter was smart NEVER how Peter was smart. He was math/science, she was words/music. Penny loved writing, especially informative writing, and played the flute.

Paul was, in Penny and Peter's words a crook, and in Aunt May's 'troubled'. He'd done time for petty theft and had barely managed to get into college with Eddie. So far he hadn't caused trouble, not that THAT would stop the cops from coming by any time anyone vaguely Paul shaped committed a crime.

So, she wasn't a science nerd or a criminal. Now if only the teachers would realize that...

"Miss Parker!"

Penny jumped and looked around, "Huh-I mean yes sir?"

Mr. Burton glared severely at her, "Honestly Miss Parker, its as if you and Peter are two different people!"

"Um...Actually, Mr. Burton, sir, we kinda aren't the same person. I'm a girl. I have boobs and-" Mr. Burton glared at her, "Um...What was the question?"

The man had apparently decided to ignore the boobs comment as the rest of the class snickered, "What sorts of signals does the brain use to communicate sensations, thoughts and actions?"

Penny stared blankly at him, "Um...Chemical?"

"And?"

"Electrical?" More snickering. Perfect.

Mr. Burton sighed deeply, "Next time a little less hesitation Miss Parker. Honestly, you two are as different as night and day" he turned back to the board, "Now the human brain is very complex-"

Penny tuned him out and leaned over to the latest new student Atlantean transfer, L'gann something or other, "He does realize I'm a girl right?"

L'gann hissed back, "Why do you always talk to me? Don't talk to me! I'm trying to make this...experience as painless as possible and I don't need friends!"

Overhearing this, Mr. Burton turned and gave them a warning look, "Miss Parker, I know you aren't as ENGAGED as your brother but try not to distract the other students, hmm? And Mr. Lagoon, the school is already taking a BIG risk on you considering your looks and personal background. Try to make it worth everyone's tax dollars."

L'gann seemed to go through the five stages of grief before settling on acceptance, "Yes sir. Sorry sir" After Burton turned back to the board, L'gann whispered, "Thanks a lot chum!"

Penny couldn't believe it and looked around the room at her stunned classmates. They weren't going to take THAT SHIT lying down...right? She turned and looked back at Peter, who appeared to be in shock, and mouthed, "What do we do?"

He mouthed back, "-Say something! Report it to the principal."

Penny didn't quite catch the first part, "What?"

Peter mouthed while moving his hands frantically, "-SAY ANYTHING! REPORT IT TO THE PRINCIPAL!"

"Mr. and Miss Parker!"

Penny turned to face Mr. Burton standing over her desk, "Do you two have something you'd like to share with the class?"

Well here went nothing, "I was just trying to figure out with Peter what you meant by L'gann's looks and background." The air went out of the room and she heard Peter whisper, "Penny you IDIOT."

The man looked at her and smirked, "You haven't noticed? The backwards evolution, the improper speech, the use of slang? He's clearly from the Atlantean outskirts and a Turus to boot."

Oh that's right, Mr. Burton was pure Atlantean, "Sir, I think that word is bad and that there is nothing wrong with L'gann. Besides" Penny continued, feeling bolder now, "There are other Atlantean students and you never say the same things to them."

"They're different."

"How?"

A dull bored voice from the back of the room stated flatly, "They're pure is what he means Penny. Pure and perfect."

Mr. Burton looked at the owner of the voice and groaned, "Miss Roth, if you please-"

Rachel Roth AKA Raven closed her book and said simply, "I do not" she made her way over to an empty desk near Penny and plopped down, "Look Penny, the deal is that L'gann looks more like a Kisega than a 'pure' Atlantean." Penny gave her a blank stare and Raven sighed, "Kisega is Fish Person. Pure Atlantean looks human."

"Ohhhh! But wait, why would that matter?"

"It doesn't. Society makes up dumb rules like: Kisega aren't as good as pure, half demons are evil and need to be locked up, and superhumans should be feared and ostracized. Then, because people are violent panicky animals, they follow the rules. Except you and your goofy brother, who will try to befriend anyone vaguely friend shaped even if he might be murdered. Because smart does not equal common sense."

Peter cried out indignantly, "Hey!"

Meanwhile, Mr. Burton seemed deeply conflicted on what to do, "Why you- I-" He took a deep breath, "Principal's Office! Miss Roth, Miss Parker, and L'gann! To the principal!"

Suddenly Peter jumped up and yelled, "But L'gann didn't do anything! He just sat there and took it off you!"

"You too Mr. Parker" He looked around the room, "Before we continue, does anyone else want to go to the principal?"

One of the new kids, Gene Khan, raised his hand and a few other students did too- Rand, Austin, and Gloria.

"Good. Get out."


After School

Peter rapped his sister sharply on the head, "Owwwww! What was that for?"

"I told you NOT to say anything you absolute villager! If you hadn't WE wouldn't have detention!"

Penny glared indignantly up at her brother, "Your lip thing was terrible and Villager? Really?"

"Yes really! You walk around with your hands in your sleeves and make weird minecraft villager noises like 'mmmm' and 'huh?' and 'mmghhgg!'"

"How did you make the last noise with your mouth?"

Before the argument could continue, L'gann walked up to them "Hey. I uh- I just wanted to thank you guys for sticking up for me. Not too many people do that." Penny stuck her arms in her sleeves and smiled up at him, "Mmmmmm, no problem! Are you okay?"

He ignored her weird noise, which brought him up 50 points in her book, "I'm alright, I'm used to it but morso below surface than up here. Also, thanks for getting me out of detention" He started walking towards a red car that pulled up, "Gotta go. See you around and if you want to friend me on Farcebook that's fine too."

Penny cheered, "New friend!"

L'gann turned and jokingly pointed his index claw at her, "Don't push it Parker!"

After he left Penny smiled at her brother, "Well I guess that panned out alright huh?" Peter rolled his eyes, "Yeah Penny, because friendship definitely fixes DETENTION!"

"Well...no but we broke specism! Sort of, not really. But it was worth it, right?"

Peter though back on Burton's face, "Yeah it was."

Just then, A white windowless van pulled up and what looked like a younger version of Ben Parker with shaggy brown hair, blue eyes, black clothes, and a rangy build poked his head out, "Penny is your creepy friend coming today or what?"

"Which one?"

"The goth girl one."

"Yeah, Raven's coming and the Gene kid too because Peter got partnered with him for detention things."

"I don't care, just get the hell in the car."

As the group walked to the van, Peter looked over at Gene, "Why did you get detention?"

"I insulted Mr. Burton in Chinese and he understood. Worth it."
