Summary
“So. Spider-Man.” Frank looked unimpressed. “You’re a little girl.”“Surprise.”__Spider-Man is New York City’s favorite neighborhood vigilante. They just don’t realize that underneath the mask is an eighteen-year-old girl with a chest flatter than the state of Kansas and a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Penny Parker didn’t intend to masquerade as a male vigilante, but it’s too late now to correct the whole world.Frank Castle is Homeland Security’s pain in the ass. Legally dead, he has every intention to lie low and lead a normal civilian life under his new alias. His plans get turned upside down when he discovers the girl next door parades around the city to fight crime every night. And she just so happens to be the age his daughter Lisa would’ve been.A new crime syndicate known as The Black Hand emerges in NYC. They're more organized, more lethal, and have managed to infiltrate both the streets and influential circles of power. Despite their differences in how they approach justice, the unlikely duo are forced to work together when The Black Hand targets the web-slinger directly.
Note
Basically this is my version of genderbent Peter Parker named Penny Parker, who typically goes by Parker instead of Penny because I said so. This fic is me avoiding all my real life responsibilities. Updates will be inconsistent because, apparently, unserious writers like myself need day jobs.Title from "Spiderhead" by Cage the Elephant shout out to thepolysyndetonaddictsupportgroup, who wrote a kick-ass fic titled "the first step of kintsugi" that everyone needs to read right now So this is pretty different from what I usually write (typically in the IronDad sub-fandom), which usually doesn't deal too heavily with actual crime fighting and superhero stuff. There's still going to be plenty of exploration of the dynamics between Frank Castle and Penny Parker of course, but I'm incorporating a little more of the vigilante content than I normally do. I hope you all enjoy!
