[ikarakie]

one thing you learn living in new york: you literally never know what's going to happen the next day. it's become a general rule of thumb to expect the unexpected, so to speak.

despite this, when the avengers get reports of iron man flying in circles over queens, growing more frantic by the second, they're confused. mainly because they're currently sat at a table with tony stark himself. and, according to his ai, the suit that's out causing mayhem is still securely stored downstairs.

they all head out to see what the hell is going on. they meet with strange on the way, who mutters something about inter-dimensional disturbances and whatnot.

spider-man gets to the scene just before them. the second iron man visibly freezes when he spots him in his red and blue glory. "mr. stark?" they hear him ask. they see as he turns and spots them, and then does a double take. "what's going on?"

"underoos!" real tony calls, nervous, at the same time as the other one spots them, and then lurches forward to all but manhandle peter behind him.

the avengers all tense, readying for a fight. fake tony raises a repulsor. "i just want the kid. i don't want to fight."

"you don't belong here." strange says, infuriatingly calm. "i don't know how you got here, but you need to go home." fake tony nods. strange adds, "you can't take him with you." which earns him a rather mean blast. luckily, he ducks out of the way.

the poor kid is whipping his head back and forth, clearly confused. tony's stomach twists unhappily. "you don't understand," fake tony hisses, "all the work it took to get here. i'm not going home without him."

"you have to." strange takes a step forward, "you can't transport him between universes. it's not viable." the lenses on peter's suit widen, and he looks at the fake tony.

"he's from another universe?" steve asks, disbelieving. strange nods, and opens his mouth to say something more, but is cut off by the other-universe tony. he removes his faceplate, revealing a tony stark that is far more haggard than anyone had ever seen before. he's thinner, his eyes are darker, pleading. he looks like a man who's lost everything.

tony looks to peter, who's still staring, wide-eyed. he can see the gears in his head moving but can't decipher why.

"you dimension hopped to kidnap the kid?" tony asks, a little unfocused. the kid was in danger, and it was all he could think about. "why?" peter turns to him, then back to tony number two. he gasps as something apparently clicks in his brain.

he steps forwards, rounds the other-universe tony and stands in front of him. he instantly lowers the repulsor. "because i'm dead." peter says, confidently.

everyone pauses. they look at the spider like he's gone insane, because he clearly isn't dead, not anymore, at least. but other-universe tony looks like he's had the wind knocked out of him. "pete-"

peter deactivates his mask. "right?" he asks. other-universe tony frantically looks over his face.

"it's my fault." he says, softly. "i'm so sorry. i'm sorry, pete. i'm-"

"come out of the suit."

other-universe tony pauses. "what?"

"come out here, please." peter asks again. other-universe tony does as he asks, stumbling out and immediately into the open and waiting arms of the baby spider. it seems to break him, the embrace; all at once he loses any trace of intimdation and anger and sobs, curling around the boy as much as he can. peter seems unphased, unlike the other heroes, and shushes him. "it's okay, mr. stark. it's not your fault," he murmurs soothingly, only reaching their ears due to the intercom on his suit. "it was never your fault. i chose this, i chose to come up there. i didn't regret it for a second."

other-universe tony heaves. "i was supposed to protect you. i failed. i failed and you're gone and you were so scared and i couldn't do anything-"

"you're wrong," peter soothes, and it's a weird image. the child comforting the adult. "if he was anything like me, then-" for a second, his eyes cut back to this-universe tony. "then he was glad you were there when he was dying. you made him feel safer. it would've been so much worse without you."

and then it all clicks for tony. this was a version of him from a world post-snap, who'd watched a kid he considered his own fade to dust in his arms. who sat in his own guilt, and shame, and loneliness. he knew the feeling all too well, and this tony had crossed dimensions to try and get his kid back in any way possible.

if it were for anyone but peter parker, this tony would've said it was a little dramatic.

he's sent home eventually, the other tony, after some more comforts and a not so subtle hint as to how they got everyone back after the snap, much to strange's dismay. later, real tony sits in the lab, watching peter from across a table, and he asks, "how'd you figure it out?"

"figure what out, mr. stark?"

"why that other me was here." peters looks up from whatever he's tinkering with. frowns.

"well, you invented time travel to get me back," he says. "why would you stop before dimension travel? it just made the most sense." tony has half a mind to argue, but one look at his lab: a midtown high hoodie draped over the back of a chair, a teenager's backpack in the corner, a seperated table with it's own organisational pattern and piles of blueprints, a report card pinned to a board, and a spiderman charm hanging from dum-e, he figures the kid is right.

"yeah, well, i love you a little too damn much then, don't i?" he doesn't think about the words before he says them. he's felt it for so long it feels like a second instinct.

luckily he gets no time to panic. because peter immediately lights up, says, "i love you too." and gets back to work.

damn kid.

Irondad fic ideas #151

There is a LOT of Iron Man merch out there. One day, Stark Industries comes out with a line of Iron Man themed night lights that look like arc reactors. The marketing? "For kids who are scared of the dark: Iron Man will protect you."

In completely unrelated news, a whole bunch of child abusers across the country have recently been arrested as a result of  anonymous tips to local authorities.

Bonus:

It's an open secret at some point. Teens who are being abused start buying the night lights. Hell, adults start buying them. Charities pop up to cover the cost for anyone who needs it. Kids who are newly safe often send their night lights on to others ("I'm not scared of the dark anymore," they say).

Even with all of this, nobody snitches to the media or government. They all know grown-ups tend to complicate and ruin precious things.

It helps that the night lights clearly can distinguish between different types of situations. Kids whose parents need mental health or addiction support suddenly find they're being contacted by free services that actually help. If ICE is a concern, the people knocking on the door are not cops but immigrant rights activists. Kids who are hungry get food. Families who need housing support coincidentally find it.

"Iron Man will protect you," indeed.

This fic idea was inspired by this post from @fotibrit!!

peter’s class, as a self reflection activity, writes a bucket list. Peter briefly reflects on the mortality rate of vigilantes and decides to write goals for each year, so that his is more realistic to his situation.

Peter goes to Stark Tower and shows Tony the list, and he laughs and brings up his own. Tony made one based on achievements (“by the time i’m CEO, i will have skydived, bought a house without my fathers name, and kept a plant alive for more than a year” kinda thing)

peter: “Mister stark, this list says that by the time you father a child, you want to have a kid. how does that work?”

tony: “well, back then, I thought i would make an awful father. I didn’t want to inflict that on anyone until i was sure i could handle it. So before I had a biological child of my own, I wanted to experience what it’s like to look at someone like my child, if that makes sense. I didn’t want to have a biological child until i knew i could be a decent parent, i guess.”

peter: “oh. but you have morgan now. so you… found a kid? someone changed your mind about being a dad?”

Tony: “yeah. three guesses who, kid.”

Marvelous incorrect quotes part 10

(pulled from a quote generator)

Tony, texting Peter during his patrol: text me when you’re home safely

Peter, still having Spider-Man sass: I’m home dangerously

Tony: Stop.

Peter: I’m home lethally

Peter: I am home in extremely lackadaicial and downright reckless fashion.

Tony, already gaining gray hairs: all i’m asking is for you to tell May and i that you’re home and not floating down a river, kid.

Peter: you’re no fun, i’ll be home in an hour!

[ircn-dad]

One thing I love about Irondad is that Tony -despite his past with Howard- is not cold with Peter, and is not ashamed to admit how much he cares for the kid (in his way, ofc).

People always judge Tony's character is Homecoming because "Hah!! Stark doesn't care about him! He ignored for two months!! He's the worst!"

Can I Start saying that that man right here wasn't in the right mood to mentor a kid right after civil war? He saw his parents die, he saw his friend almost killing him in rage and then had to deal with the breakup of the Avengers and the whole Rhodey's situation. He probably thought it would be better for both to not be in contact, because while Tony wants to heal, he also want Peter to not be like him.

Think about it: After civil war, Tony was a disaster and all of this because he was an Avenger. Of course the man wouldn't want Peter to be like him, not when Tony's life went down hill since the first day as Iron Man. He doesn't want that life for a fifteen years old kid, so he leaves Peter with Happy and everyone is safe.

Not because he doesn't want the kid around, but because he thinks it's the best for the kid to not be around a billionaire with severe anxiety and a little bit narcissistic.

Tony never showed any discomfort around Peter, since their first scene together. He has always been interested in the kid, and was the one one who understood Peter, as Peter said him self in the infinity War novelization.

(I won't start saying how everyone blames Tony for "manipulating" Peter and bringing him into a war. Just know that is incorrect, and Tony would never bring a kid in a war, because that wasn't meant to be a fight. Tony brought Peter so that -his words, not mine- he could web them up if they tried to escape. He never thought about ending up with a broken arm and with Rhodey who can't walk anymore)

Anyway, returning to the subject, I think we can all agree on one thing: Peter is not aware of how Tony actually cares about him. But not because Tony is an asshole and hates him, but because of one reason:

1. Peter in homecoming only wanted to prove himself. He desperately wanted Tony to see the potential in him, so during all the movie he he acted so that Tony could be proud of him, but at the same time when Tony complimented him he didn't even showed gratitude. He was blinded by wanting to show the man what he was worth for that he didn't notice Tony was always proud until the very end.

I don't think the main problem is in fact Tony because as we see, and Peter can't, he actually already invested in Peter's life.

He listens to the voicemails, remembers them and always kept an eye on him, even during his journey to India (TO RECOVER HIM SELF FROM CIVIL WAR Y'ALL).

And can I say something more? Tony isn't afraid to think Peter as his son. Often, in the Fanfics, we always see Tony panics because him and Peter became closer and he's scared how he could be like Howard to the kid. The second part is right, but he would never panic about thinking Peter as his son. Actually, he doesn't mind and already thinks the kid as his responsibility.

It's actually funny and cute how he says "My father never really gave me a lot of support and I'm just trying to break the cycle of shame" because all I see is a man who was neglected and abused by his father, and hated the idea of having a child because of this (remember that scene in IM3 where he flinches at the only thought of having one) until he met Peter. He decided to be better because of him, he wanted to change because of him.

When he says "I sound like my father" my heart broke because no, YOU DON'T YOU SILLY.

These two phrases demonstrate how he's not afraid to tell the kid he sees himself like a father for him. Ofc he's scared because he doesn't want to end up as his own father, but he is ready to be a good role for Peter when he will finally be healed from civil war.

He's not cold, he's not distant towards Peter and even though he's afraid of ruining the kid and his childhood, he already loves him.

Homecoming was a new start for both of them and I believe that in the two years between Infinity war and Homecoming they were not afraid to tell each other how much they cared (again, on their way because even I think it's pretty weird imagining tony saying "I love you you're my son" to Peter or Peter saying "Yes you're my dad adopt me" because that's so out of character).

Every interaction they had in infinity war screamed that. You can clearly see how much the kid is now comfortable with the man, is not shy around him, and is not scared to talk to him; you can also see how Tony has become more protective of Peter. Literally everything he says or does screams "don't touch this kid or I will kill everyone in this room and then my self" (I mean, that's what he did in endgame, no?)

at last, I want to appreciate this scene because it's not appreciated enough:

Strange is literally assuming Tony is Peter's guardian, and the way Tony crosses his arm, assuming this defensive pose to protect him self when he said "I'm confused as to the relationship here" because he wants to know what Strange has to say about them, ready to answer and to kick his ass out of the flying donut if he says something bad about Peter or about their relationship. Or the fact he always has something to answer to Strange, but this time he stays silent and doesn't even try to explain who is Peter when he asks he is his ward because that's his kid and so many other things he doesn't know how to explain.

Also, Peter saying an awkward and quick no while staring at Tony will never not be cute for me. It's like this already happened before and someone already pointed out how they look father and son together, and Peter is not even that embarrassed. He's just confused why everyone keeps thinking they are father and son (but not unhappy)

Irondad prompt 167 from @irondadmadlads 🥰🥰 I’m not gonna type out the whole thing

When Peter first got accepted to be an intern at Stark Industries, there were a lot of rules to follow. Dress code, wearing the staff badge at all times, not interrupting anyone’s projects were just a few. Which is why when Peter is late due to an incident at school, he freaks out.

Peter frantically speed walks into the tower at 5:09, 39 minutes after he was supposed to be there. His statistics teacher had made him take a test that he had been absent for after school, despite Peter protesting saying he had plans already. After he sped through the test, he swung as fast as he could to Stark Tower, but it wasn’t fast enough. He was getting later by the minute; Mr. Stark was not going to be happy.

He ran up to the front desk, showing his ID, which was approved, and then took the elevator down to the lab, willing FRIDAY to move it faster. He gets into the lab, sweat plastering his hair to his forehead, and nervously greets Tony.

“Well well well, what do we have here? Is Spidey-Boy late?” He asks with a playful smirk, but Peter doesn’t realize its presence.

“I’m sorry sir, it won’t happen again, I just- there was a test I had to take- very sorry sir, I didn’t mean to waste your time.” His voice cracks on the last word, a lump in his throat. God, was he about to cry in front of Tony Stark?

He sits his backpack down on the floor, his eyes red with tears. “What are you talking about Underoos, everything’s fine,” Tony says, his voice taking a gentler tone. “Everyone’s a little late sometimes, I get it. You can stay longer if it would make you feel better,” he offers.

“I don’t want to waste your time Mr. Stark, I didn’t mean to be late, you don’t need to make up for that.” Peter rubs his eye with his fist, praying that he wouldn’t cry in front of his mentor, his father figure- forget he said that.

“What’s going on here Pete? Why are you so upset? You know you never waste my time, okay? Tell me what this is about, I don’t like seeing you so down on yourself.” Peter breaks eye contact and looks down at the ground.

“Well… it’s just in the official rules when I got accepted as an intern it said we had to be on time every day no exceptions, so obviously that includes today, you can’t make an exception,” he mumbles quickly, embarrassed.

“Oh, Pete…” Tony says sympathetically. “It’s not like you’re fired if you break them sometimes. And besides, they’re more for the real interns, not my lab sidekick,” he says with a smile, trying to raise Peter’s spirits.

Peter lets out a sigh, and the tears go back where they came from. “Sorry Mr. Stark- for overreacting.”

Tony shakes his head. “Entirely fine, okay Bambi? Do you still wanna work in the lab? We could just chill, if that’s what you wanna do.”

Peter cracks a smile. “Yeah yeah, if you still want to.” Tony ruffles his hair and turns to get to work.

“I wanna do what you wanna do.”

Hello!!

I read your last Irondad/Ironmom fic and enjoyed it greatly!!! Peter deserves all the hugs!

At the end I noticed you mentioned you take requests! I was wondering if you’d consider writing a drabble for an Irondad royalty AU. Maybe Peter is King Tony’s apprentice and King Tony eventually chooses Peter as his heir. I’ve really been craving a royalty AU lately!

Thank you!

- AleX 🪐

IM SORRY THIS TOOK TOO LONG Not something i would've come up on my own typically, thank you for the wonderful ideas. I'm glad you enjoyed my last ironmom/irondad fic; hope you enjoy this too!

I wasnt sure what kind of royalty you wanted nor if you wanted a traditional medieval kind or sci-fi vibes, so i was vague about it. It got way out of hand so I decided to post what i have and break it up.

Askbox is open for writing/doodle reqs for all! _____

That Time(TM) Emperor Tony decided on an apprentice and told no one.

Literally, not even said apprentice.

___

(Part 1) (Part 2 TBA)

Pepper’s lips thinned as Tony stumbled into their bedroom, disheveled and growing further tired every day; and every time her eyes downturned and she’d silently disapprove. Not today, Pepper had had enough, “Tony, you can’t keep running everything by yourself,”

“Whadd’ya mean? ‘ve got you,” Tony slurred, sighing in relief as he crashed onto their bed.

Pepper shook her head, “I run the political and economic side, mostly. The ‘boring stuff’, so to speak. You do everything else, you’re heavily invested in the empire’s technological advancement and the people,”

“Whadd’ya suggest, ‘lmighty one?” He grumbled back.

Pepper tapped on the pillow before running her fingers through his hair, “Hire more people to take over some of your posts, maybe even an apprentice or two,”

With shut eyes, Tony hummed, “’s fine, got i’ under control,”

Pepper just sighed with a shut mouth despondently, she’ll postpone this till tomorrow.

___

“This is a list of candidates and the list of roles,” Pepper cheerfully greeted Tony the next morning; handing him a pad with names and roles written on it.

“Morning to you too, amore mio,” Tony huffed out, before realization struck him in a pang of pain, “Candidates? Roles? For what?”

“Oh? You do recall our conversation last night, right?” Pepper responded rhetorically, knowing he didn’t.

Tony threw away the lists to the side in disdain, “No,”

“This isn’t up for discussion, Tony,” Pepper firmly stated, catching the pad “You need the help. More accurately; pass over some of your unnecessary roles,”

“I turned this bloody kingdom into a golden empire on my own; I sure as hell don’t need the help,” Tony snapped back, shoulders slightly raised as his lip corners tugged downward.

“Oh?” Pepper responded, grabbing his hand gently and leading them to the full-body mirror in their room, “Tony, look at yourself then look me in the eye and tell me you’re not tired,”

Tony decided to humor her and let his eyes roam over himself, blinking in slight confusion. He hadn’t recognized himself immediately. His much longer hair was slightly matted, dry, out of place and frizzy. Skin a few shades paler than usual; green and yellow undertones visible.

His shoulders were slumped yet tense, eyes lidded in exhaustion and overall posture coiled up. Tony took in a few shuddering breaths.

“Please,” Pepper whispered with a voice thick of sorrow.

More shuddering breaths, “O...kay...”

___ It started out as a small kingdom ruled by revolutionary Howard stark and later on, Maria stark became queen.

Now, the empire had many territories, overseen by governors and ministers. Overall, it was run by Emperor Tony stark and Empress Virginia Potts.

Empress Virginia mostly was on the political side of matters, keeping an eye on the economy and trades of the empire. She’s a brilliant strategist and could figure out your entire personality, past and future with a mere few minutes of casual talk.

Emperor Stark’s expertise was focused on the technological advancements of the empire and everything else.

Always moving from land to land, He micromanaged the territories and preferred to make most of the decisions overall affecting the empire and his people.

This lead to some conflict in power between him and the local governors.

The empire had never been more prosperous though, and the people loved their monarchs. Despite it being common due to his constant travelling and traversing the streets, Harley, Peter and Riri were all excited to meet Emperor Stark all the same.

It had been rigorous to get here; weeks of continuous hard work and outdoing the other to even get glanced at by the judges. Absent-mindedly, Peter stroked the flying squirrel he befriended.

---

“Why not?” Aunt May furrowed her brows as she glanced back at Peter.

Shrugging, Peter continued to stuff his mouth with his lunch, “’on’ ‘ink o’ll ma’e i’ mas’ p’elimina’ie’,”

Aunt May pointed at her cheeks, signaling him to swallow before speaking. Peter gulped then repeated himself, “Don’t think I’ll make it past preliminaries,”

“Just try,” Aunt May softly said, resting her hands on his shoulders, “I think you’re brilliant and worthy of becoming an Emperor’s apprentice, why don’t you believe in yourself too?”

---

Peter lightly shook his head, recalling each celebration Aunt May threw for every round he got past. He doesn’t think he’s actually processed that he’s here in the actual freaking Stark Palace.

Harley and Riri made small talk as they waited in the gazebo; for what? They weren’t sure.

But...

This was it. They would begin official training. Harley and Riri...they were both worthy of being here. He still didn’t feel like he did. He knew he’s smarter than most, but not enough to take on such a prestigious role.

So, to avoid awkwardness, he let them be. Instead feeding the snacks they were given to the flying squirrel eyeing them. Peter could see that it wanted to steal some, so he had held out his hand out with snacks as an offering, ‘Should I name you Karen or Watson?’

Peter paused, ‘Are you even a girl?’

“They’re probably gon’ send us a minister or somethin’ to train us,” Harley grumbled, “I doubt the actual Emperor would train us,”

“Well, I think that’s incorrect,” Riri huffed back, “Why not have called it a Minister Apprenticeship instead of Emperor’s on the posters?”

“Well, I mean-,” Peter began whilst twisting his hands, “Maybe you’re both right? Maybe at the start we’ll be trained by Ministers and who-knows-who, then we’ll meet the Emperor once we’re done with our training?”

Peter made a small noise of surprise as the squirrel squirmed its way under his jacket. ‘Is it cold?-‘

“I’m hurt; does the new generation not want to meet me that much?” An almost-mocking voice chimed in.

All three of them turned wide-eyed as Emperor Stark stood by the gazebo’s door. Then, he began to walk- ‘shoot, he’s walking towards them, and- of course he’s walking towards them! Why else would he be here?- I’ve already calculated 35 different ways to jump out with minimal bone breakage-‘

Riri jumped up as she snapped her jaw shut, curtsying as she greeted evenly, “Your Majesty,”

Peter scrambled to stand up and do the same, mumbling a, “Your Majesty,” too, shifting as the squirrel slightly moved yet remained hidden.

Harley was last, curtsying begrudgingly, “Your Royal Highness; you’re late,”

Emperor Stark snorted at that, “Can see why Pepper liked you,” He then waved his hand casually, motioning them to stop, “None of that now, the day’s barely begun and I heard it a dozen times over already,”

Emperor Stark took a seat and- ‘Everything he does is so cool!’, they all followed. Harley narrowed his eyes though, “That’s my seat, move, would’ya?”

Peter and blinked rapidly; Riri sharply turning towards Harley, “Will you have some respect? If not for yourself or peers, then to your Emperor you- !”

The Emperor just held up a hand in her direction to silence her, “Why should I?”

‘Harley’s just going to sit elsewhere now, yeah? No one would talk back to the freaking Emperor, right?’ Peter thought, overly optimistic. Not even two minutes in and its gone awry.

Harley groaned at that, counting with his fingers as he began to list, “’Cause, that’s my seat, I was here before ya. You were late and that’s rude,” ‘Nope, clearly not.’

“-Ya need us more than we need you; everyone knows you’re gon’ eventually stretch yourself too thin. And,” Harley sharply smiled as he paused for dramatic effect, “I have something you don’t,” Emperor Stark smirked as he leaned forward, both keeping eye contact. Riri was seething in her seat as Peter continued to shift; trying to subtly nudge the squirrel out, ‘Come on, maybe-Karen-maybe-Watson!’

“What could you possibly have that I don’t?” Emperor Stark tilted his head curiously. The squirrel ran up Peter’s side, Riri shot Peter a glare as he stifled his giggling and reaching for the squirrel, ‘Maybe-Karen-maybe-Watson is a mouthful, I’m dubbing you Maybe-Karen/Watson’

Tch-ching! “A potato gun,” Harley aimed his potato gun at the Emperor with a grin.

“I could have you jailed for that,” Emperor Stark sniffed, “Threatening your Emperor like that,”

“Would’ya?” Harley bit back, “’Over-looming Totalitarianism? Emperor Stark jails teen over a joke!’” He continued with a dramatic voice.

Raising his hands in a surrendering motion, Emperor Stark got up and moved to another seat; Harley keeping his finger on the trigger all the while.

Peter snorted as he could no longer contain it, Maybe-Karen/Watson was squirming up his right side! His ticklish side! Fed up, Riri harshly elbowed Peter’s right side.

Shrieking, the Maybe-Karen/Watson finally got out of Peter’s clothes.

‘Oh no,’ Peter internally wept as he watched Maybe-Karen/Watson soared onto the Potato gun.

Harley jolted in surprise as he tightened his grip on the gun, accidentally pressing on the trigger.

Maybe it was just Peter, but to him everything was in slow motion. Perhaps it’s even worse then since he got shot anyways.

Harley’s eyes widened as Emperor Stark was first to go down.

Riri tried to jump away and was taken down by three potatoes to the stomach.

Peter leaped towards Maybe-Karen/Watson, as if capturing it would salvage his dignity and how he most definitely will be eliminated.

He tripped on his own feet anyways and got a potato to the leg.

Harley dropped his gun like- ‘Hah, like a hot potato,’ Peter thought incredulously as everyone remained in their position.

‘A moment of peace on the battlefield for the fallen, please,’

Maybe-Karen/Watson stuffing its cheeks full of the potatoes shook Peter out of his stupor. Uncoordinatedly, Maybe-Karen/Watson staggered to where Peter was laying on the floor and snuggled into his neck. ‘Now they all know we’re Partner’s in crime,’

Could the ground open up and swallow him whole? He stresses whole. Peter would be pissed if it left his head. His head could still be judged. Actually, death would very much be welcome right now.

Ever the comedian he is, Peter choked out, “Triple-shot combo,”

“Is it yours?” Emperor Stark asked hazily.

Nope, Peter’s not equipped for this. Please kill him now.

For once, the universe heard his pleas. Black enveloped him and he greeted it with a ‘Hello, sweet death.’

---

Actually, no. The universe didn’t hear his pleas.

Peter woke up.

Tragic, yes. But that means that it was all just a nightmare! ‘...Right?’

“Welcome back to the land of living, squirrel boy,” Emperor Stark had a bruise on his face but smirked anyways, “Glad you’re not dead. It’s too much paperwork and I would’ve joined you soon at the hands of Pepper,”

‘Nope, worse; Reality.’

Next up; Peter and Tony bond over a classic training montage, Peter still feeling displaced, going into public shenanigans and running away shenanigans! Fun times all around in the next part (:

I actually don't know much of Riri, if you do please share your wisdom. Should the squirrel be named Karen or Watson?

Irondad fic ideas #122

Peter is always reluctant to let Tony buy him things. It's a point that they argue about constantly (not in an angst way, but not in a joking way either). Every time Tony tries to spend money on him, Peter struggles to accept it and argues that it's too much. Especially when it's for something he just wants rather than needs.

One day, after trying and failing to get Peter to accept some gift, Tony finally gets him to see his side like this:

Tony: What if you had $100, and you saw someone who was hungry and you could just buy them a meal. Wouldn't you do it?

Peter: Well yeah, but-

Tony: What you had $1000 and your best friend Ted was cold and you could just buy him a coat. Even a $400 coat. It'd keep him warm every winter for years. Wouldn't you?

Peter: Yes-

Tony: If you had infinite money and you could just get May jewelry she wanted or just get MJ the art supplies she'd been saving for-

Peter: Okay, yes, I get it

Tony: Kid, you'd spend your last dollar on a stranger. I couldn't spend all of my money in a lifetime if I tried. And I've tried. If you had the kind of money I do, you'd be spending it on everyone you love, all the time. Can't you let me do the same?

[loveeari]

It's just anatomy, you're only half of me (still, you don't know me at all)

When Penelope Parker Stark was 5 years old and she watched all the kids from her kindergarten get picked up, she didn't feel anything. She knew that it was not normal for someone who was hired by her dad to pick her up.

In her short five years of life she knew that her dad Anthony "Tony" Stark was a media sensation. However she also knew what her dad was not to her. An actual dad after all the only times she really saw him when he was drunk or high.

Penelope was considered a child genius at her age, already understanding things much greater than a normal child should. That in introspection should've made someone worried about her but no one ever did. Afterall it was all about Tony Stark. And wasn't that something fun to think about.

"Penny" Her teacher called, "Someone's here to pick you up." She blinked and got up from the seated area and went to the door already knowing the routine.

She got picked up by her Nanny Miss.Julie and then she was driven back to her house and from there she would go to her room. From there she would do her homework or anything she wanted to build or try out while waiting for her dad to get home. That didn't matter too much. She was always ignored or forgotten by Tony, it wasn't anything new to her and wouldn't be for a long time.

(And wasn't that sad)

After getting in the car she watched as the world flew by. In her five year old mind she greatly cared for someone to actually care about her. But, alas she didn't think that was going to happen for a while and just sat there quietly.

Whenever people looked at Penelope Parker Stark they expected something great from her. Afterall she was a stark and considered american royalty but people were often disappointed.

Instead of a loud raucous arrogant child like they expected,  they got a quiet demure blue eyed sullen girl. She never seemed to care about anything and people were mean even when you were a five year old.

The lights were on and Penny looked at the house with a dull interest, it was grandiose and something fit for a stark.

 (penny hated this quiet mausoleum of a house with all her being)

 She walked and saw her dad was plastered on the couch with bottles of alcohol surrounding him. Her nanny tried to push her on with a shocked but not at all surprised expression on her face.

You see she was already used to this

(the best money can buy right)

and Penny quietly walked up the stairs to her room quiet like a ghost. Her nanny had already left seeing that her parental guardian was already here. Penny didn't say anything, she never did when her father was like that or even sober. It was like living with a stranger, and Penny was already used to it.

(Age 7) 

Two years passed by and Penny got smarter and smarter. She was already taking fifth grade courses and was on her way to middle school with how fast she was learning everything. Her father attained a new personal assistant Virginia "Pepper" Potts. Penny didn't say anything at all because why would she, Pepper was just another stranger to her and with the rate her father was getting attached she might actually be a new stepmom.

Penny was still alone and she didn't mind because she preferred to read and get lost in her own wonderland with superheroes and villains. You see Penny always wanted to save people in some kind of way and she didn't care how. When they were asked what they wanted to be when they grew up, Penny stated with all seriousness in her tiny little body, "A superhero" And wasn't that funny, Penny stark wanted to be a superhero while her father was a war mongering whatever.

People thought Penny was joking but she was dead serious.

One day she saw uncle obie walking in all smiles.

(Penny never trusted him)

Obie went on and on to her father about all these weapons and her father just nodded along

(It was pennies birthday that day, but who cares right) 

Penny just sighed and went to her room with a store bought cupcake and a singular candle. She wished for the birthday she saw on tv where the little girl had her parents surrounding her wishing her and being with her.

Instead penny just got a rich absent alcoholic father

(Tony didn't want to be his father) 

look how that turned out

Today her father was supposed to go to Afghanistan for a weapons presentation and he was already late. Penny stood there watching with blank eyes as he flirted with pepper.

"Alright penny now say goodbye to you dad" Pepper stated cheerfully.

Penny slightly inclined her head and walked away annoyed. She didn't even know why she dragged her to say bye to her father. It's not like he ever said bye  whenever he was going anywhere and penny would find out from whatever drunken mishap he did on the news. 

(Penny would never say this outloud but she hated her dad for being like this) 

Penny never saw the fallen expression on her dad's face when she walked away. 

------

The news was on and it was talking about the abduction of tony stark. Penny watched on with a numb look on her face and tried to find the sadness that everyone expected her to feel. Instead she felt nothing because why would she? 

It's not like tony stark was anything to her anyway besides her father she was just some stranger she saw get wasted ever since she was born. Penny had more of a connection with "Happy '' Tony's bodyguard/ butler. 

(Wasn't that sad)

Now there was a mess of who was going to take penny. Apparently that was resolved quickly because somehow in tony's will for something ever happened to him she was supposed to go to rhody. 

(That pissed off obadia when he found out he wasn't given guardianship at all)

He can’t control the next stark heir this time

As the three months passed by Penny continued on as usual already used to being ignored. Everyone was shocked to see Penny look the same. She wasn’t crying or even seemed sad that her father was gone, 

(What they didn’t know was that penny did feel sad, she just couldn’t show it) 

Pepper always looked like she was about to burst into tears while Rhodey looked even more exhausted every time he came home finding nothing. It didn’t mean that they weren’t hopeful to find her father.

A dark part of her mind whispered, “Maybe we are better off without him”

Penny just shook the thought away and continued working on the math work that was assigned to her. Her teachers along with Rhodey decided to let her skip school for some reason. 

Penny wasn’t going to complain 

she hated the stares

Penny was at the mansion with everything quiet

Pepper had run off in a rush over something and Penny didn’t bother to question it. It was probably some issue with Stark Industries and something inside her was begging her to turn on the TV.

She did and their was her dad in all his glory bruised up but alive 

(Penny was supposed to feel happy, she felt nothing)

Penny turned the TV off and went to her room and quietly told Jarvis, “lights out protocol” and the lights closed in her room one by one. Penny was not in the mood to deal with this and she just decided to go to sleep. She didn’t want to face the world or anything at all so she sunk into oblivion. 

Hours later Penny woke up feeling bleary and even more exhausted than before. 

“Jarvis?” 

“Yes miss.stark”

“Is my dad home?” 

“Yes mr.stark is home, would you like for me to call him?” 

“no” 

Penny didn’t know what to feel and decided that nothing would be a great idea. She didn’t want to care, just like how Tony never cared for her. 

(Age 10) 

A lot has happened ever since Tony got back from Afghanistan. Penny saw the rise and fall then the rise again of Iron Man. Her dad was an actual superhero and worked alongside earth's mightiest heroes. 

Penny couldn’t find it in her to care at all since she was busy raising herself and going to school in Midtown Elementary. 

She knew that the elementary was considered a top notch school and could easily get her in midtown middle and midtown high without her even trying. Penny never liked name dropping her dad and she wasn’t very well known in the public. 

People knew that Tony Stark had a kid and that’s about it. 

(the only thing penny thought he did right) 

After moving back to New York after their home in Malibu was destroyed because of Tony leaking their address Penny actually made friends… 

She was friends with Harry Osborne, and Ned Leeds as well as Michelle mj Jones. Penny thought the world of them because they actually listened to her. Penny got used to the absences her father set out because of being Iron Man and she couldn’t find it in her to care even more.

The school day was over and Penny was waiting for it to be over. Today was really boring and dare Penny say it she just really wanted to go home and hide under her covers and do nothing. She was used to walking home because Happy was too busy babysitting her father which made Penny scoff and roll her eyes. 

Her indifference to her father was slowly turning into resentment and that's maybe how Harry and Her got along so well. The mutual hate they both have for their dad’s. 

The wind was blowing softly and it was nearing summer time. Penny spent most of her time out of the tower just wondering wherever. She was stupid rich because of the large allowance her dad gave her and never really cared about what she spent it on. 

Penny snorted derisively, “He has to notice in order to care”

She sometimes spent her time at Ned’s house and his family loved Penny. Ned would jokingly complain that his parent’s would prefer penny to him and she just giggled at that silly notion. Her father was busy with the Avennger’s initiative and Penny couldn’t find it in her to care. Like yay black widow is cool and Captain America is alive and whatever. 

(She wanted a dad not a superhero) 

So here Penny was walking towards the park where she and Ned were meeting up to go to his house and build legos while also eating Thai food and binging Star Wars movies. Harry or MJ might come to join them and they would have a wicked sleepover. 

Penny liked that idea very much and the fact that it was a reality made the pain of having dad who never cared sting less and the hurt to bury deep down. 

In the coming years she wouldn’t know the insane things that would end up happening but at the moment she had at least her friends. 

(age 14)

Penny knew that going to Oscorp was going to be a big mistake especially with her luck. She made Pepper sign her permission out of spite because of her dad’s hatred for oscorp. Penny didn’t want to go but was intrigued by the different promises. Besides, she did not want to leave Harry alone or ditch Ned and MJ just because she didn’t like the company. That was petty and dumb. 

It was a normal day, the sun was shining and the birds were chirping. Her dad was out doing something and Pepper was busy running a company. Nobody really focused on Penny but let’s be serious who ever did? 

Penny didn’t get enough sleep last night because she was distracted reading a book that mj somehow just knew she’d be obsessed with and by the time she realized it was like three am in the morning. Penny had a grand total of three hours of sleep that were definitely her fault. 

She usually took the bus to midtown and could afford to be a little late so she stopped at Starbucks and got a frappe because why not and went to school. Surprisingly she was not late and got to finish her drink in the bus while Ned just rolled his eyes. 

Once they got to Oscorps the four of them completely ignored the tour guide while Harry gave them his version of a tour. 

“Yeah that part is sketchy” 

“I don’t suggest you touch that” 

“I think someone died here” 

Ned and Penny looked at him with horror in their eyes 

“What it gives the place character” Harry sheepishly stated

MJ smirked, “Yeah losers character” 

The “tour” continued when Penny got distracted by a display of spiders and she was examining them when someone pushed into her. 

She crashed into the display and lo and behold it was Flash fucking thomason a literaly pain in her ass since first grade. HIs mommy and daddy gave him everything he wanted because he was the miracle child as he liked to brag. Penny just found him a miraculous ass.  

“OOPS you should watch where your going parker” Flash sneered at Penny 

Penny just rolled her eyes as she pushed herself off the display and that’s when she felt a stinging pain on her neck. 

“Ow” Penny hisses as she slapped a hand to her neck 

At that moment everyone was staring at her and Flash, but Ned quickly pointed out that Flashed shoved Penny and everyone who saw the whole thing nodded fast. For some reason Flash was the only one who didn’t like Penny but the rest of her year was indifferent towards her and felt bad for the cruel treatment that Flash gave her. 

At that moment there science teacher Miss.Luisa walked forward with a stern glint which let flash know he was in deep shit and couldn’t weasel his way out of this one.

“Are you ok Penny” as the class watched Flash getting dragged away

Penny felt a little dizzy but smiled weakly, “Yeah just hurt my neck with how sudden the push was” 

MJ scowled, “Flash is just an asshole” 

Ned nodded, “Agreed” 

The four followed the group and the entire day Penny felt worse and worse. She made it home in a haze and felt like she wanted to pass out forever. Once she made it to her room she muttered, “lockout and blackout protocol, password I need a break” 

This basically meant Penny would be undisturbed for a period of time and she could get away with it.

The next two days passed by in a haze and blur, she felt her fever go higher and buckets of sweat were dripping off of her. The pain got so bad that she felt her screaming her throat raw for someone to make IT STOP. 

FInally, Penny passed out again and awoke with the world seemingly louder and everything brighter. 

Penny dragged herself out of bed and felt her eyes gummy and her mouth bone dry with an unimaginable hunger in her stomach. She felt strangely lighter and when she tried to open her bathroom door the door knob broke. 

“What the hell?” She stared down at her hands and there was the knob just stuck to her fingers. She pried it out and dropped in on the ground freaked out. Penny stared at herself in the mirror and noticed she was taller. 

Penny was previously at 5ft5 but for some reason she grew three inches and was taller. Her hair that was up to her shoulders were waist length and she got abs somehow. 

At that moment Penny realized she could see astonishingly well and did not need her glasses or contacts. 

“This is so weird, do I got powers or something” Penny asked herself 

She tilted her neck and felt something behind and there was a spider that was dead.

“This was at Osborn, how the hell did I get powers from a freaking spider” Penny muttered even more confused. 

“Just my luck” Penny groaned when she thought of her crashing into the spider exhibit. 

Penny went through her morning routine painstakingly after she realized how delicate everything was. 

She attempted to put on a shirt that literally fit her last week and felt the tire when she tugged a little too hard. 

“I need new clothes” she grumped to herself 

Penny thankfully had some of mj’s clothes when she came over last time and some that she stole. It was a joke between the two and Penny KNEW that mj had her favorite pink sweatshirt. “no <3” written on it in eye watering green

Ned got it for her as a gag gift when he went to Hawaii with his parents and Penny treasured it before mj somehow just took it. 

Penny tugged on a beige sweatshirt that had women's rights written in bold with Ned’s sweatpants. 

She didn’t even want to touch her hair when her hands sometimes got sticky randomly and it took forever for them to unstick. Panicking did not help and just made everything worse. Penny didn’t know how to explain the waist length hair. 

“Hey penny what happened to your hair” 

“Oh you know i’m secretly rapunzel” 

She did not see that going over well, so she asked Friday to put on a hair cutting tutorial video, took a gigantic breath and started to cut. She just so happened to have hair cutting scissors in her bathroom because she has done this before with mj. Or well mj did it for her. 

She got her wet because that was the first step and wanted to dye it as well. She had time and it wasn’t like she was going anywhere anytime soon. It was a long weekend and she had school tomorrow. The hair dye was sitting in a drawer as well as the bleach. 

“Either i’m going to be doing something dumb or it might end up looking really good” Penny muttered out loud 

Hours passed and Penny looked at her new hair and she grinned because it just felt like her. She decided to do a longish wolf cut, bleached it and colored it blue with a little bit of purple at the ends. In the end it looked really cool and exactly the way she wanted it. 

Before she did the whole hair montage she went to the kitchen and ate like a starved animal. Penny had a little notebook and she was writing down every notable thing about her enhancements. The most she got so far was, 

“I’m sticky” 

“VIsibly taller, at least three inches” 

“Abs???” 

“Super hearing and sight” 

“Hella strong for no reason” 

“Hair.” 

It was written in her messy cursive but hey it made sense.

Penny figured out the super hearing bit when she finally canceled the blackout mode which basically put her room in complete silence. She was hearing everything and anything all at once and it hurt but little by little she figured out how to regulate and filter sound. Just in case she managed to find some earbuds that were noise canceling and they seemed to help a little. 

When she went back to school her friends complimented her new hair and mj grinned seeing her, “looking edgy loser” 

That just made penny’s hear warm and happy 

As the days went on Penny attempted to learn every little thing about her powers because they were so cool. It wasn’t that hard to sneak out and go to an abandoned gym to learn and that’s what Penny did. 

Her dad had finally come back from his trip and the first thing he said to her in a long time was, “What the hell did you do to your hair” 

Penny was reading a book at the time and without a beat responded, “I dyed it” 

“This is unacceptable Penny” 

Penny finally looked up, “Why does it bother you, it’s literally my hair” 

Tony’s eyes hardened, “Don’t talk to me like that” 

At that point Penny got annoyed and stood up, “Whatever i’m going to my room” 

“No your grounded” 

Penny snorted, “Grounding me because I dyed my fucking hair, funny” 

Tony gaped 

“How about next time i’ll get 4 piercings just to spite you” Penny scoffed 

“PENELOPE STARK” 

“ANTHONY STARK” penny mocked right back 

“Whatever dad go play overprotective parent to someone who gives a shit” and with that Penny walked away continuing to read the book in her hand. 

Once Penny got in her room she just sighed and sat down on her bed digging her hands in hair because really after all this time the most her dad did was comment on her hair. 

“Fucking pathetic” she muttered to herself got herself ready to simply leave again

She was in the mood for candy and ever since Pepper was in Tony’s life they were living on shitty rabbit food that tastes like ass because anything pepper wants pepper get’s. Half the stuff Pepper made Penny hated because they tasted like sadness and regret. It’s like the woman never head of the word seasoning in her damn life. 

Penny knew it wasn’t fair to take out her frustrations on Pepper but at this point she’d rather do that then blow her own brain out. 

Penny knee her dad wasn’t running after, a thought that made her even more irritated for some reason so she kept walking to the nearest convenience store. She walked and the only people there were a man in his police uniform and a person at the cashier. 

Penny walked towards the candy aisle and thought to get her some actual ice cream, not the frozen Greek shit that pepper kept in the freezer. 

Once she got her twix, nerds and whatever else she got her grubby little hands Penny went towards the cashier and that’s when everything went totally wrong. SHe felt her spider sense an irritating buzzing at the back of her neck get louder. 

Suddenly a man came running in with a ski mask on, “Empty the cash register or I shoot”

Penny stood there frozen solid not knowing what to say or do at that situation but the police man did know what to do and slowly deescalated the man. Everything was going alright until the man noticed Penny standing there frozen.

“Hey little girl come over here” He barked angrily 

Penny shuffled towards him while the police officer stated, “It’s not her you want calm down please” 

And in a split second a gunshot went off and the man walked away with a bag full of cash. Penny rushed forward with tears already welling up in her eyes. 

“Your going to be ok, please be ok” She cried while attempting to push pressure on the wound to get the blood to stop flowing 

The officer smiled weakly, “It’s ok kiddo, it’s just part of the job” 

Penny tried to keep him talking, “What’s your name?” 

“Benjamin Parker” 

Penny smiled shakily, “we have the same names, Parker is my middle name” 

“Oh really”

“Yeah and mine is Penny Stark nice to meet you”

Before Ben coil reply Penny cried out desperately, “Someone please call 911” 

“Penny it’s alright, i’m ok with this because I did my job and managed to save you” Ben consoled her quietly 

Penny whimpered, “No why are you ok with this you didn’t have to do that”

Ben smiled serenely, “Because Penny with great power come great responsibility” 

And the man’s eyes slowly closed while Penny begged for them to stay open. Everything that happened after was a blur, she remembered getting in the ambulance and barely remembered talking to other officers. 

When she was in the hospital she heard the horrible scream of the woman, Ben’s wife Penny assumes let out and Penny just sat there muted. Someone died and all Penny did was gawp and stare, with all the powers she had she did nothing. 

And that was the problem; she did nothing 

That day May 9th was a day that Penny would never forget 

Because she made two promises to herself when she sat in the back of happy’s car with blood stained clothes, red rimmed and a broken heart. 

“With great power comes great responsibility” 

And

“Never do nothing” 

She went back into her room alone where the shadows continued to haunt her and dreams were red rimmed and bloody. Penny was alone in this world, it was obvious when her dad couldn’t even be bothered to pick his traumatized daughter up from the hospital. She didn’t want other people to be alone and so Penny did what Penny did best

Survive 

(age 16)

A lot happened in the two years she got bit by a spider and got really cool spider problems but also got traumatized from seeing a man die. 

Penny became Spider-Woman and she spent the nights and early mornings helping out the little guy. She was known as a vigilante but people still called her a superhero because she saved lives. Penny did whatever she could, she rescued cats from trees and consoled a crying girl who got lost and took her back to her mother. 

She was there to chase off the rapists and nobody needed to know she punched a little bit harder and webbed a little too tightly. 

That was also a new thing her web shooters which Penny made in an abandoned lab in stark towers Penny was the hope of New York city and she clung to it tightly. It took two very long years but the NYPD finally started to work with her rather than against her. 

Her father, who didn’t know she was Spiderwoman at all, attempted to recruit her to fight Rogers and his merry little band. Penny outright refused because she read the accords and the shit written on it was frankly disgusting. It was basically a lock and key for people who had powers, people like her trying to do the right thing. 

Penny just told her father to shove it up his ass 

He was trying to get her to go to fucking germany as if she didn’t have a life. Of course everyone should drop everything for the great tony stark. 

Penny didn’t know if that was the resentment or the irritation talking, she was sticking with both. Being Spider-Woman was freeing and everything she wanted to be. She wanted to keep it a secret but she knew when her friends eventually found out and they will she was so dead. So Penny told them 6 months after being Spider-Woman independently for a year. 

Ned freaked out 

Harry was silent 

MJ snorted

Then all three collectively decided to help her and no matter what Penny tried to say they did not budge. 

“I’m not letting my best friend get killed you dope” Harry stated 

Ned giggled, “Can I be your guy in the chair please please pleasee” 

MJ sighed, “That suit is a crime to humanity, Penny for goodness sakes how did you wear that and not die” 

Penny coughed awkwardly 

Harry looked up from the plans he was making for her and narrowed his eyes, “Penny?” 

She groaned, “Ok so I may have nearly died but it was fine” 

Ned gasped, “Wait was this during Liz” 

Michelle hummed, “This makes so much sense” 

Ned then began to piece everything together, “Wait so when we found out Liz’s dad was the weapons dealer you found originally and you were her prom date!?” 

“Igotcrushedunderawarehousethancrashedaplane” Penny stated all in one breath

Her three friends looked at her dumbfounded 

Penny spoke slower, “I got crushed under a warehouse than crashed a plane which was my dads which had the weapons liz’s father wanted to sell” 

Harry spoke a little louder, “Wait is this why you ditched the academic decathlon competition at dc because you were saving our sorry asses” 

Penny laughed fakely, “Yeah that was my fault, I may have accidentally put a chitari core in Ned’s back and then it went boom” 

Ned just squealed, “Best day ever!!!” 

MJ just slowly shook her head, “Penelope Parker you are a mess woman” 

Penny groaned, “I know” 

Harry grinned, “Well that’s why you have us darling” 

Penny just smiled, “Yeah I really am aren’t I?” 

So that’s how Spider-Woman swung through the streets with a supportive army on her shoulders and in her ears helping her along the way. 

(age 17) 

Penny never really thought of dying even when she became a vigilante and almost died many times. Dying permanently was a thought she never had when she was on titan with her mask off and her look at her dad. Her dad was clutching her and begging for this not to happen. 

“Hey dad it’s ok” Penny grinned 

“No Penny no we just managed to start talking it can’t end like this” Tony sobbed 

It was the first time ever that Penny saw her dad cry and she didn’t like it. The previous year had been one of the best years of her life. Her dad found out about Spider-Woman and they had this gigantic fight. They somehow managed to make it and little by little they became father-daughter again and now a dumb purple ball sacked dick was going to take this away from her. 

Penny clutched her dad weakly and saw people begin to fade, “I love you and i’m sorry I never got to say it to you but I truly irrevocably love you” 

At that moment Penny was crying while Tony sobbed harder, “No this wasn’t supposed to happen your supposed to outlive me, your supposed to live” 

Penny managed to mumble, “I love you and i’m sorry daddy” before she became dust 

Tony cried and mourned because his daughter was gone and he regretted the 16 years in which he made her seem like nothing. Tony regretted not being there for every birthday party all because he was afraid or didn’t care. He regretted not holding her close to his heart. He regretted a lot of things and no matter how much he could regret Penelope Parker Stark wasn’t coming back 

(All he could do was mourn)

(five years later still 17) 

The fight was over, hallelujah the fight was over. There was so much that happened Penny didn’t know what to feel at the moment. She hugged her dad and then somebody snapped and the fight was over. 

She’d later find out that Captain Marvel was the one who snapped and Penny found that out to be badass. 

Penny also found out she had a half-sister who was five years old. Morgan Harriet Stark is her name and Penny didn’t know what to feel so she shoved that right back. She learned that Tony finally got married to Pepper and they lived in the middle of bumfuck nowhere in a big family styled house. 

It was strange to say the least and how fucking quite it was. Penny was used to the noise and bustle in New York and here there were just birds chirping and the wind whistling. It was weird to think about. 

Somehow all her friends got snapped with her so they were all going to spend their senior year together. Penny was going to midtown high and she didn’t care if her dad said no because that was her school and she was graduating from it. 

Penny quietly observed her new family and saw how remarkably different it was when it was just her and dad. For one he actually tried at the whole parenting thing. He didn’t leave Morgan alone for hours with a stranger or hell even by herself. 

Morgan had a mother who would sit with her and make her laugh. 

Morgan had a father who went to every one of her events and did the daddy daughter dances.

It hurt to realize that fact and Penny wasn’t resentful or angry that Morgan got all that because Morgan deserved it and Penny wouldn’t stand for her getting any less. 

Penny was upset that her father tried for Morgan but never tried for her. Sure they made up for one year but why did it take for her father to figure out that she was Spider-Woman for him to give a shit at all? 

She felt like she was four again when Daddy was too busy getting drunk with models for him to give a shit about her. Penny was four watching her father ignore her for someone else. 

(Tony Stark could change but he didn’t want to change for Penny Parker) 

Ever since coming back from titan tony just expected her to adjust to everything quickly as if 5 years passing was nothing and she was still 17 while everyone moved on. There were now movie nights and taco Tuesdays and whatever nuclear family bullshit her dad and pepper came up with. 

Penny felt like an uninvited guest and sure Morgan was cute but Morgan didn’t know her. She was a ghost story now standing in her childhood home. Any child would be scared of that and Morgan finally stopped hiding whenever Penny came into a room. 

She didn’t want to be in this house anymore where all she was known for is a ghost story. Penny wanted to go back to her room in New York where she was able to see the Manhattan skyline. She lived in an apartment with Rhoady  because she didn’t want to move to the compound after her dad sold the tower. 

Penny was home over there not here. 

“Penny, you want some more eggplant parmesan?” Her dad asked distractedly while trying to get Morgan to finish her food. 

Penny wrinkled her nose, “No i’ll eat something else” 

She hated Parmensan and could smell the mint; she was deathly allergic to it. 

Unfortunately, Morgan heard that and started whining, “why do I have to eat this when Penny doesn’t have to” 

Tony gave her the stink eye, “Well Penny is going to eat it” 

At that point Penny was already walking away with 5 ramen packets and a bowl, she had a microwave in her room just for this occasion. 

Penny called out, “Unless you want me to die from anaphylactic shock after consuming that mint i’ll eat the entire plate just for you”

She saw her dad’s face pale and all Morgan could ask was, “Daddy what’s anaphyctic shock” completely butcher anaphylactic which Penny found hilarious. 

Everything came to a head when Penny told her dad that she was going back to new york. 

“No your not going back you staying here” Tony stated sternly 

Penny scoffed, “Oh you funny if you think i’m going to listen to you, I turn 18 in two weeks you can’t keep me here” 

“Penny i’m your father and i’m telling you your staying here” Tony stated harshly 

Penny was pissed at that point, “Oh your a father when it’s convenient for you well guess what old man you can take you fatherly title and shove it i’m going” 

Tony quietly murmured, “Your grounded” 

“You do this every time I say something but you know what, I’m done playing nuclear family with you and your wife and daughter, i’m going back to New York living my life the way I want” Penny looked at him dead in the eye resolve steeled and hardened 

“Penny-”

“No i’m not doing this anymore where you pretend im like some fucking ghost story when you can’t even look me in the eye anymore, congratulations dad you have everything you ever want a wife and a daughter you actuall give a shit about” Penny derisevly muttered. 

Penny just continued 

“I’m tired of being the bigger person and trying to make YOU comfortable when i’m the one who died, you’ve never once asked me how it felt because you ignore me just like how I was seven years old watching you get drunk so i’m done listening to your bullshit”

“I’m not standing in the way of your fairy tale happiness and pathetic Penny Parker could finally be out of your life” 

With everything said and done Penny called a taxi and picked up her things. She simply just left because what was the point of staying. She could scream and shout and beg for her dad to understand but she was simply done. 

And for once

Penny was free
