Sorry for the long wait. Also, Fun Fact: There is a character named Penelope Parker in the Marvel Comics Universe (Spiderverse). This was unintentional on the part of the author.

The Green boy looked at Raven curiously, "Not that I'm complaining but what's she doing here? Isn't she banned?" Penny and Peter both looked at Raven who shrank back.

Nightwing shrugged, "Yeah but I decided that was stupid and kept her in the database" He turned to Raven "So, why are you here?"

The girl gestured to Peter, who held out the canister, "Raven thought you guys could help us figure out where this came from. A guy called the Black Spider, who stole MY LOOK, used it to threaten us. It turned out to be a prank."

The detective took the object and examined it, "A pretty expensive prank. This is made of vibranium" He rolled it in his hands and examined it from all sides "There's no serial number, so it's probably stolen rather than bought legally-"

Penny cut in, "Wait, you can buy this legally? I thought it was illegal to sell vibranium!"

"It's illegal to sell it outside of Wakandan government sanctions. They have a quota of how much they sell each year and to which countries" Nightwing looked closely at her, "You didn't know that?"

Penny shrugged, "No, none of us did...Was that common knowledge?"

Nightwing stared at Penny and continued, "Anyways, the lack of serial number means this will be harder to track down but if you give us a few days we can examine the devices make and narrow down the people responsible. You guys should leave since Batman's coming in about 15 minutes."

As soon as they got out into the alley Peter blurted, "I can't believe that we didn't know there was a legal way to sell vibranium! What else have we been missing in social studies?!"

Penny shrugged, "Everything probably. It IS an 7am class and by definition waaay too early" She turned to Raven, "What was the whole 'banned' thing about anyways?"

Raven sighed, "Its a long story but because of who my dad is, the Leagues both decided it would be better if I took an indefinite hiatus. Which means I might never get back into Teen Titans or Young Justice or any other team. I doubt even SHIELD would take me."

Peter and Penny looked at each other, at a loss for words.

The goth girl shook herself and smiled at the twins, "It doesn't matter. We should be getting back to your place, before May notices we snuck out."

Parker Household

Peter was the first to climb in his window, followed by the girls. Peter snuck over to the bedroom door and poked his head out, relieved to see the lights were off and to hear Aunt May's light snoring.

They all pulled off their masks and Peter flashed them a grin, "Great we're good! You guys just have to quietly sneak to Penny's room-" A figure suddenly sat up in Peter's bed "-HOLY MOTHER OF MEGATRON!"

Paul yanked the blanket from his head and flicked on the lamp besides Peter's bed, "Shut it idiot, you'll wake up Aunt May!"

"Dude, why are you in my bed?"

"Dude, why were you out so late?! It's 2am" Paul looked at the group, "And why are you all wearing costumes?!"

They all looked at each other, panic stricken, before Raven and Peter pushed Penny forward, "Oh thanks a LOT you two...we were cosplaying."

Paul raised an eyebrow at his sister, "Cosplaying?"

Penny nodded, "Yeah, we all decided to go cosplay. In the dark. When no one can see or judge us." Behind her Raven snorted and Peter bit his lip and looked at the ceiling.

The older man gave her a long look before smirking and saying, "You know Penny self-judgement is often the harshest judgement of all" Paul got out of Peter's bed and gave the teens a pointed look, "I won't tell Aunt May THIS time. As far as she knew Peter was asleep and you two girls were watching bad rom-coms, so you're all good. I suspected otherwise."

The teens asked in unison, "Why?"

"Because when I came in here to steal a shirt, Peter's bed was still made" Paul left the room, "With that I say goodnight. I'm going to sleep on the couch."

The girls both glared at Peter and he laughed feet nervously, "Oops..."

Raven smacked him lightly in the arm, "Idiot! I swear its like you two share a brain cell or something!"

Penny said cheerfully, "If it makes you feel any better Rae, I haven't seen it in years."

"It doesn't. Lets go to bed."
