A silence fell in the room after what had been shown. The demigods and gods were still processing the fact that Poseidon had another child, once again breaking the oath, something that Zeus seemed to like to remind his brother even though he himself had done the same thing.

Meanwhile Poseidon and the rest of the sea family were trying to process the fact that Rhea's life was far from normal having her life as a vigilante, she's exposed to a lot of dangerous situations, something that made the family worry and even more when they remembered how badly injured the young Parker had been when she was brought to the room. But apart from that, they couldn't help but think about something Annabeth had said, and that was how powerful Rhea could be. With the little they had seen and with the brief information shared by the daughter of the sea, they knew that the spider's bite had affected the young girl on a major way, giving her powers that included super human strength, something that made Rhea outstanding, but what would happen if she also had her godly powers?

It was obvious that Rhea had her powers blocked something that they did not understand why, but if at some point those powers were unblocked and were as equally strong as Percy's, Rhea would end up being another one of the most powerful demigods, something that surely not all Olympians would like to know. At that conclusion Poseidon turned his gaze to Rhea who was still trying to ignore the stares she felt on her.

Rhea sank a little in her seat as the discomfort took over her. It wasn't easy for her to accept the truth that had been revealed to her, let alone being in a room with a bunch of people to watch her life. But it seemed that she could not run away from it and had to endure it to the end even when it was the last thing she wanted to do. Even though her wounds were healed, she still feel the sensation of them in her skin, as if them were grave like an invisible tattoo reminding her of what happened. Finding out how a person she trusted betrayed her had affected her more than she would like to admit and it clearly wasn't helping her to cope with the situation she was currently in.

Rhea let out a soft sigh and turned her gaze back to the screen as it began to light up.

The screen lit up again, TWO MONTHS LATER flashed on the screen before showing Rhea standing in a packed subway train. She takes out her phone and types out a text.

Good morning Happy just checking in. I'm out of school at 2:45 PM

Ready for my next mission!

It's Rhea BTW.

Parker

She lets out a soft sigh as she scrolls through the numerous unanswered messages to Happy.

The avengers immediately shot a glare at Tony and Happy, the former who winced at everyone's expressions, Natasha raised an accusing eyebrow at him, "You ignored her for two months?"

Happy raised his hands in defense, "I actually did read the messages and even listened to the voicemails she left and reported some things to Tony." Happy explained earning a small smile from Rhea.

Scene cuts to the 36th Avenue Station where the train drops Rhea off, which is right next to Midtown High.

Rhea walks downstairs to street level where football fields stand surrounded by fences. She strolls down the sidelines and approaches the main building.

Rhea looks at some students training for football, playing other sports or running around the field. She then climbs a flight of stairs and walks towards the main door of the school, rushing her step to avoid being hit by a convertible driven by Flash Thompson, who looks at her with an amused expression.

"What's up, Penis Parker?" Flash shouts as he drives towards the parking lot.

The students who were close to the entrance chuckle at that. Rhea suppresses a sigh and moves on.

"How did he call you?" Poseidon harshly said as he glare at the screen that surprisingly wasn't on fire for how he was looking at it.

"He almost hit you!" Percy exclaimed, just as angry as his father. He recognized bullys so he knew from just the small interaction that boy was someone who commonly picked on his sister.

Rhea pursed her lips at their reactions, "It's okay, I have learned to
ignore his comments."

Miguel tilted his head, "I always wondered why Flash started acting like that towards you."

Ned rubbed his chin with a thoughtful look on his face, "I think it all started when Rhea defended me from him."

Grover hearing that shot Percy a look, remembering all the times his best friend would stand up for him when someone picked on him at school.

The scene cuts to inside the school where a school news report is playing on one of the TV screens in the hallway. Betty Brant and Jason Lonello as the news anchors.

"Rise and shine, Midtown Science and Technology." Betty says with a bright smile.

"Students, don't forget about your homecoming tickets." Jason starts saying as an image of the homecoming tickets appear on the TV screen,  "Do you have a date for homecoming?" He then casually asks Betty who forces a smile as she looks at the camera.

"Thanks, Jason, but I already have a date." She says, earning an awkward smile from Jason.

"Okay."

"Yeah." Betty says as the camera zooms on Jason who rolls his eyes.

"That was too awkward." Leo winced as he watched the interaction but at the same time understood how Jason felt, as several times, he was the one being rejected by someone he liked.

Ned leaned over to whisper to his two friends, "Do you think Betty is okay?" He asked, worried about his girlfriend since he didn't know what was going on outside of that room.

Rhea gave him a reassuring smile, "I'm sure she's fine, Ned."

A drone flies by near the TV screen heading towards the end of the hallway where the school entrance is and where several students can be seen, Rhea being one of them who moves to the side avoiding being hit by the drone that flew near her.

Seconds later Principal Morita walked past her heading towards the drone and grabbed it with one hand but winced at being hurt by the drone's small propellers.

"Damn it. You, in my office right now." Principal Morita points toward his office to the owner of the drone who follows him seconds later.

"Busted!" Clint exclaims as he laughs getting a look from Natasha who just shakes her head at his attitude.

As Rhea walks down the hallway, other students are seen carrying different science projects. She then stops at her locker and takes off her jacket. She enters the combination and opens the locker and places her jacket inside it before starting checking some of the books that she will need for her first class.

Suddenly a hand pops up behind her holding a Palpatine Lego figure over Rhea's shoulder.

"Join me, and together...we'll build my new Lego Death Star." Ned imitated the Emperor Palpatine.

Rhea's eyes widened as she turned around fast, meeting Ned's excited expression. "What?!"

"So lame." One of the cheerleaders that was next to her locker says but is ignored by Rhea who has her attention on Ned.

Will gasp at the comment, "Lame? How can that be a lame? That's so cool!" Will started to say, attracting the gaze of the others, especially Rhea and Ned, "I've been trying to get one of those."

"You like Star Wars?" Ned asked, although from Will's expression it was more than obvious that the answer was yes.

Will nodded excitedly, "Those are the best movies, who wouldn't like them!"

Rhea let out a soft laugh as she nodded, "That's what I always say." She said, earning a smile from Will.

"No way! That's awesome. How many pieces?" Rhea asks, earning a wide smile from Ned.

"Three thousand eight hundred and three."

Clint whistled, "Those are hard to build." He commented as he thought back on a few he built with his kids now that he was on house arrest.

"That 's insane." Rhea turned around to her locker to take out the books she would need.

Ned nodded excitedly, "I know. You want to build it tonight?"

Rhea pursed her lips before letting out a sigh. "I'm sorry Ned, but I can't tonight. I've got the Stark—"

"Mm-hmm. Stark internship." Ned said with a small frown adorning his face.

"Yeah, exactly." Rheas says as she closes her locker and starts to walk down the hallway with her best friend.

"Always got that internship." Ned comments as he shoots her a look.

"Yeah, well, hopefully, soon it'll lead to a real job with them." Rhea points out with a hopeful look on her face.

"That would be so sweet." Ned comments earning a nod from Rhea, "Right?" She says with a smile.

"He'd be all, "Good job on those spreadsheets, Rhea. Here's a gold coin." Ned says, earning a look from Rhea making Ned let out a slight laugh, "I don't know how jobs work."

Rhea shook her head with a chuckle, "That's exactly how they work."

"Oh." Ned chuckles along with Rhea. "Hey, I'll knock out the basic bones of the Death Star at my place. And, then I'll come by afterwards..." He starts saying to Rhea who keeps listening to him until someone catches her attention, making her suddenly stop.

In slow motion, a pretty dark-haired girl is shown as she walks down the hall with her friends. She brushes her hair back and looks at Rhea for a moment before she looks away, leaving Rhea mesmerized and unable to keep up with the conversation with Ned.

"Ohh, someone has a crush." Sam commented making Rhea blush as she remembered the crush she had on Liz at that time, but also started to remember how her feelings got confusing because of certain things that happened.

Suddenly the bell rings, making Rhea shake her head before turning to look at her friend who was looking at her with a teasing smile. "shut up" She bumped her shoulder with his and then the two resumed walking towards their first class.

Scene change to the physics class. Ms. Warren can be seen walking in front of the class as she points towards the board.

"Okay, so how do we calculate linear acceleration between points A and B?" She asks, without hesitation, Flash raises his hand, Ms. Warren points towards him, "Flash."

"Is his name really Flash or...?" Hazel asked, finding it odd the name of the boy who seemed to have made it his life's goal to annoy Rhea.

Miguel shook his head, "No, his name is actually Eugene, but he hates it so he started calling himself Flash."

Ned suddenly looked as if he had remembered something, "Oh, that's another reason why he doesn't get along so well with Rhea, one of the times she defended me from some of Flash's comments, she called him by his name so I think that's what increased his resentment."

Sally shook her head, her protective side coming out when she heard that, "Still it's not right for him to be picking on you, you were just defending one of your friends."

May frowned, "I knew I should have gone back and talked to the principal or talked to the boy's parents." She said, causing Rhea to give her a small smile.

"It's okay May, like I said before, I learned to ignore his comments." Rhea replied, making her aunt let out a sigh, "Honey, you know it's not right, but we'll talk about it later."

"It's the product of sine of the angle and gravity divided by the mass." Flash says confidently but Ms. Warren shook her head, "Nope." She says, earning a confused look from Flash who starts checking his notes.

"Wrong." "Not even a little close to the right answer." Tony and Bruce commented at the same time.

Another hand goes up, but Ms. Warren focuses her attention on Rhea who clearly is having difficulty focusing on the lecture as she has her attention on her laptop. "Rhea—" Rhea shot up, looking at Ms. Warren with wide eyes, "You still with us?"

"Uh-Uh, Yeah, yeah." Rhea closed the laptop where she was watching some youtube videos of spider-woman, and then took a brief look at the board, noticing a diagram of a simple gravity pendulum. She cleared her throat, cheeks turning pink, "Uh...Mass cancels out, so it's just gravity times sine." She answers easily.

"And that's correct." Tony says as he shoots Rhea a proud look.

"Look at that, my daughter is very smart." Poseidon commented with an expression similar to Tony's. Athena who heard him rolled her eyes at her uncle's comment.

"Somewhat surprising, being your daughter, I would expect the opposite." She said venomously, earning not only a harsh glare from Poseidon but also from the rest of the sea family. They were all starting to get annoyed with her comments.

"Right." Ms. Warren nods before looking at Flash. "See, Flash, being the fastest isn't always the best if you are wrong."

The class bursts out in laughter causing Flash to turn in his seat and glare at Rhea. "You're dead." He whispers, earning a look from Rhea who then turns to glance at the clock on the wall behind her.

Percy scoffed at Flash's comment, getting already annoyed by the boys attitude towards his sister.

The scene then changes to the chemistry lab where Rhea is now wearing safety goggles.

"Today we'll be talking about Danish physicist Niels Bohr, but trust me, there is nothing Bohr-ing about his discoveries regarding quantum theory." Mr. Cobbwell explained to the class.

Rhea looks at Mr. Cobbwell before focusing her attention on her notebook, she opens her notes to a page titled "Web Fluid Version 3.01.'' A few molecule diagrams and a list of liquids such as salicylic acid, toluene, and methanol can be seen on the notes.

Rhea looks around before opening a drawer of her lab table which has inside a beaker. She quickly pours some orange liquid in it and stirs the concoction which starts to increase in volume, running over the beaker walls.

When Rhea lifts the glass stirring rod, the compound sticks to it like a spider web. She then quickly shuts the drawer and writes something on her notes before glancing towards the clock on the wall.

"You made the webs in a school lab?" Bruce commented in amazement.

"Yeah, I didn't have everything I needed at home so I took advantage of the time I had in the school lab so I could make the webs." She said as she rubbed the back of her head with a sheepish expression.

Travis and Connor looked at Rhea, their eyes flashing with mischief, "So those notes are what you use to make the spider web?" Travis asked, receiving a nod from Rhea, "Do you think you could share them and explain how to make it?" It was Conor who commented now, wearing an innocent smile.

Annabeth immediately interjected, "Please don't, it's for everyone's safety." She said, earning an offended expression from the Stoll brothers.

The scene changes to the cafeteria. A homecoming banner is hung over the clock on the cafeteria wall by Liz, who is standing on a ladder.

Rhea and Ned are sitting next to each other. The former checked her camera for any damage after Flash made her  drop it when he pushed her in the line of the cafeteria.

"Did Liz get a new top?" Ned suddenly asks as he looks at Liz with a dreamy look.

"What? I-I don't know." Rhea huffed before placing the camera on the table and her eyes darted subtly towards Liz then to Ned who was still with his eyes fixed on her. "She looks pretty, but we should probably stop staring before it gets creepy, though."

"Too late."

Hearing that, Rhea and Ned jumped before turning to see Miguel sitting at the other end of their table with some books and a cup of coffee in front of him.

Miguel rolled his eyes, "You guys are losers." He says before looking back to his book in hand, not caring about the offended expressions of Rhea and Ned.

Rhea threw up a hand, confused and offended by the boy's comment while Ned eyes him dubious, "Then why do you sit with us?"

Miguel looks away from his book and meets their gaze, porting a blank expression on his face, "Because I don't have any friends."

"That's sad."

Rhea and Ned share a look, not knowing what to say to the boy, who after that just ignored their presence and focused his attention on his book.

"Well now you have us." Ned said but then a teasing smile appeared on his face, "Although, Rhea is more than a friend to you." He said, his comment drawing the attention of the others in the room.

"Ned!" Rhea said as she looked at her best friend, a blush beginning to appear on her cheeks as she simultaneously recalled her conversation with Miguel before finding out the truth about Mysterio.

At that comment, Aphrodite immediately looked between the two teenagers noticing how they exchanged glances and how Rhea blushed. She mentally let out a squeal, excited to see how their relationship would develop and to see the drama involved as she remembered that Rhea also seemed to have a crush on someone else during that time.

Poseidon on the other hand frowned, not too happy with the comment about the love life of his daughter, and couldn't help but let his protective side start to come out and more so by the look on Aphrodite's face as she look between Rhea and the other boy. It seemed as if the goddesses had found her new entertainment.

The scene cuts to the auditorium where a poster can be seen hanging on the wall about the Academic Decathlon nationals taking place in Washington D.C. on October 13-15.

The Decathlon group is in the room practicing for the nationals. Liz is standing at a podium, reading the quiz cards while Ned, Charles, Abe, and Cindy are seated on the stage with some buzzer bells placed on the table in front of them.

Liz changed the card, "Let's move to the next question. What is the heaviest naturally-occurring element?" She looked at the other students.

Charles hits the bell without hesitation, "Hydrogen is the lightest." He answers, earning looks from the others making him let out an awkward laugh, "That's not the question. Okay. Yeah."

Cindy shot him an exasperated look while frantically searching in her notes, next to her, Abe tapped the bell, "Uranium." He answers with a confident smile.

Liz smiles at Abe, "That is correct. Thank you, Abraham." Abe quietly pumps his fist in the air, "Yes."

"Please open your books to page ten." Liz indicated them.

A few feet away, Rhea is conversing with Mr. Harrington, the teacher who is in charge of the Decathlon team.

"Rhea, it's nationals. Is there no way you could take one weekend off?" Mr. Harrington asks with a hopeful look.

Rhea shook her head before giving him an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, Mr. Harrington, but I can't go to Washington because if Mr. Stark needs me, then I have to make sure that I'm here."

"Kid, you shouldn't drop everything just because you're waiting for a call from me." Tony said as he shook his head, feeling the guilt return for leaving Rhea all that time with the hope that someday he would call her for her help again.

"I know." Rhea let out a soft sigh, now looking at everything, a sour feeling set on her at seeing all that she was leaving behind just to be available in case Tony needed her. At that moment she felt like she somehow wasted a lot of valuable time.

Flash scoff from behind them, he laid back in his seat, a book in his hand as he tried to study. "You've never even been in the same room as Tony Stark."

Leo snorted, "If only he knew that she not only knew him but was also part of his team."

"Wait, what's happening?" Cindy, who overheard the last bits of their conversation interrupt them while she looks between Rhea and Mr. Harrington.

Sally, who is lying on her stomach and studying her notes, answers her as she heard the whole conversation. "Rhea's not going to Washington."

"What?! No. No, no, no, no, no. No." Cindy says as she shook her head multiple times.

Abe dinged the bell catching everyone's attention. "Why not?"

"Really? Right before nationals?" Liz asks as she looks at Rhea with a disappointed expression.

Annabeth raised an eyebrow at everyone's reaction to the news, "It seems you're quite important to the team."

Ned snorted at that, "Rhea is practically the one who has always led us to wins in the Decathlon, so it was expected that the team would be upset to hear that she wasn't going."

Rhea shook her head as a small smile appeared on her face, "Do I have to remind you that you won the last time without my help."

"She already quit marching band and robotics lab." Miguel, who was leaning on the wall with a book in hand, suddenly says, making everyone glance towards him with a suspicious look on their faces. "I'm not obsessed with her. Just very observant."
He quickly adds at seeing their looks, he then met Rhea's gaze who was watching him in surprise but after a few seconds looked away and focused her attention on Liz who spoke again.

The same thing happened in the room, everyone looked at Miguel who just shrugged his shoulders, "As you heard, I'm very observant." He said before glancing at Rhea who looked at him with a raised eyebrow causing a small smile to form on Miguel's lips.

Drew, who like her mother, watched the little interactions between the two teens with interest, "I'm sure something else was already going on back then." She commented excitedly towards Piper who only shrugged her shoulders causing her sister to huff at her lack of enthusiasm for the possible romance.

But even if Piper didn't show it she also agreed with Drew, plus she had noticed how Miguel looked at Rhea in the few interactions that had been shown on screen and she had caught a glimpse of the emotion that went through his eyes at the sight of her.

Liz pursed her lips, annoyed by the news. "Flash" she glanced at the boy, "you're in for Rhea."

"Ooh, I don't know." Flash turned the page of his book, a smirk visible on his face, "I gotta check my calendar first. I got a hot date with Black Widow coming up."

Natasha at hearing that grimaced causing Clint and Yelena to laugh, who then calmed down when they noticed the withering glare the widow was shooting their way.

"You think that's funny?" She hissed at them as a frown appeared on her face. The other two just shook their heads as they tried to keep from laughing again at their friend/sister's horrified expression.

Abe tapped the bell. "That is false." He says earning some laughs from the rest of the team.

Mr. Harrington pinched the bridge of his nose before letting out a tired sigh, "What did I tell you about using the bell for comedic purposes?"

A few chuckles were heard around the room at that.

Rhea turns to see the clock marking that it's still 1:18 p.m.

The scene changes, showing quick glimpses of Rhea fidgeting as she looks at the clock. Fingers drumming the desk, foot tapping on the floor until finally, the clock hits 2:45 p.m. and the school bell rings.

Sam looked with a raised eyebrow at Rhea, noticing her demeanor and the way she kept glancing at the clock, "Why do you look so anxious?"

"Umm, mostly because of my ADHD. I can't sit still in one place for a long time and well the other reason why I wanted classes to end...I think you'll find it out soon." Rhea explained.

The demigods let out murmurs of understanding, all knowing what Rhea was going through as they too struggled with their concentration or staying calm at school. It was difficult as they needed to stay active and not just in one place.

The bell barely stops ringing before Rhea reaches the front steps of the building. Looking around to check if anyone's watching her, she leaps over a fence taller than herself without touching it.

"Whoa!" murmurs of amazement were heard around the room. Some of the gods were showing expressions with a hint of astonishment, discovering more and more about these abilities of how Poseidon's daughter.

"How did no one notice?" Annabeth murmured as her face wore an expression of wonder.

The scene changes, Rhea can be seen running toward a deli, nodding at a man sitting at the corner.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Hey, Kid."

Rhea enters Delmar's Deli-Grocery and heads to the counter, looking like she's quite a regular at the store. "What's up, Mr. Delmar?"

"Ahh Delmar, best sandwiches in Queens!" Rhea commented with a small smile.

Mr. Delmar smiles at her, "Hey, Ms. Parker. Number five, right?"

Rhea picks up 2 chocolate bars and puts them on the counter. "Yeah, um, and with pickles, and can you smush it down real flat? Thanks." She says to one of the staff of the Deli.

"You got it, boss."

Demeter looked at the screen disapprovingly, "Greasy food?" She said towards Rhea at seeing her selections on food, "No, no. You need cereal." Saying that a bowl of cereal appeared in Rhea's hands.

Rhea blinked a few times before turning her gaze to Demeter, "Um, thank you?" She said a little uncertainty but then shrugged and began to eat the cereal earning amused looks from Miguel and Ned.

"What? I'm hungry, I haven't eaten anything since I was locked in a cell at the police station." She said not noticing the expressions of the others at the last thing she said.

"What do you mean locked in a cell?!" May exclaimed as she looked at her niece with wide eyes.

Rhea groaned as she realized her mistake, "Don't worry May, that wasn't so bad." She simply said without going into the details. She was sure it would be shown the reason why she was in a cell at the police station and besides she thinks that wouldn't be the most serious thing that happened to her.

"Uncle P, I think your children have a tendency to end up involved with the police, one being chased by them and the other caught by them." Apollo commented amused, earning a chuckle from Hermes.

"Shut up, Apollo." Poseidon simply said as he glared at his nephew and then turned his gaze to his daughter. His mind filling with thoughts of why his daughter would end up being caught by the police and thrown in a cell. Letting out a tired sigh he ran his hand over his face before turning his attention back to the screen.

"How's your aunt?" Mr. Delmar asks Rhea who was looking at some of the other candies in the store. "Yeah, she's alright." She simply says.

Mr. Delmar turns to speak to his staff in Spanish. "La tía de ella es una italiana muy bellísima." (Her aunt is a very hot Italian woman.)

"¿Ah, sí?" (Oh, yeah?)

Rhea crosses her arms and looks at them with a raised eyebrow for a few seconds before her lips pull into a smirk. "¿Cómo está tu hija, eh?" (How is your daughter, huh?)

"Good one!"

"Ooh, nice comeback!" Hermes exclaimed as he looked at Rhea.

Some of the people in the room let out a few chuckles at that and even more at Mr. Delmar's reaction.

The deli staff chuckled behind the counter while Delmar's grin faded. "Ten dollars."

"It's five dollars." Rhea pointed out.

"For that comment, ten dollars."

"Hey, come on, I'm joking. I'm joking." Rhea pulls out some cash from her bag and hands it over to Delmar. "Here's five dollars." She smiles at Delmar who takes the money with a grumpy look on his face.

Rhea then moves toward a cat lying on the counter and pets him. "What's up, Murph? How you doing, buddy?"

When she returns to collect her food, Mr. Delmar strikes up a conversation. "So, how's school?"

"Ah, you know, it's boring. Got better things to do."

Mr. Delmar shook his head. "Stay in school, kid. Stay in school. Otherwise, you're gonna end up like me."

Rhea looks around the store with a smile, "This is great."

Mr. Delmar nods, "Best sandwiches in Queens." He then hands Rhea a bag with her  sandwich and the two chocolate bars.

"Nobody can deny that." She says before giving the man a small smile, "Bye Mr. Delmar."

Mr. Delmar nods. "Take care, kid."

Rhea leaves the store and runs across the street with a bag of sandwiches in her hand. She passes under an elevated train track, holding up her palm at a cab that honks at her, and runs into an alley.

Once she is in the alley, she starts to take off her shoes and throws them aside. From her backpack, Rhea pulls out a blue and red suit.

"Oh no." Rhea says as a deep blush begins to appear on her face, "Why does all that have to be shown." She exclaimed as she sank into her seat trying to avoid everyone's stares.

Ned and Miguel understanding what was about to happen looked away from the screen, not wanting Rhea to feel any more uncomfortable than she already was.

"Everyone, look away!" Tony and Poseidon say at the same time as they glare a the boys in the room.

She knocks over a garbage can as she awkwardly yanks off her shirt and sweater, then steps into her suit, wearing only her boxer and bra. Jumping, she pulls the full-body suit up over her legs. She then fits her arms in the sleeves, then puts on the mask, which covers her entire head. The baggy suit hangs loosely over her slender frame.

Everyone looks back at the screen, now noticing Rhea was wearing her spider-woman suit.

Rhea picks up her shoes and puts them inside her backpack before closing it and webs it against a dumpster.

"That's how you lose your backpacks, isn't it?" May asked her niece who only gave her a sheepishly smile.

Rhea then hits the spider emblem on her chest making the material shrink, fitting her snugly. She then presses a button on her web-shooter, activating hologram displays, then adjusts the lenses on her high tech mask before jumping onto the roof of a building.

"That's awesome. Look at all those details and functions included in the suit!" Leo commented as he looked in awe at the suit.

Rhea cleared her throat, trying to shake off the feeling of embarrassment from what happened before, "Later on you're going to be amazed at all the other functions it has." She commented, remembering when she hacked the suit with Ned's help and unlocked everything else including Karen, her AI which had been very helpful.

She leaps across roofs with her sandwich bag in hand. Crouching down on a ledge, she looks down at the streets and sighs.

"Ah, finally."

"So that's what you've been waiting to do all that time? That's why you were eager for classes to be over?" Frank asked curiously.

"Yeah, I have this routine of patrolling every day after school." Rhea shrugged, "I just want to be around in case anyone needs help. " Rhea confessed, earning surprised looks from the others.

"And that's one of the reasons why you're the best hero." Percy praised his sister, receiving a small smile from her and totally ignoring the offended expressions of the avengers.

Miguel agreed, "Don't let this get to you but he's right, in my opinion you are also one of the best heroes out there." He remarked, as he looked between Rhea and the avengers. He had to accept that the other heroes were important too, but unlike Rhea they only helped out in big situations—which in the end they were grateful for because they stopped major disasters, but there was something about Spider-Woman that made her stand out from the rest. She didn't just show up in life and death situations, she always tried to be there to help anyone in need, to defend the helpless, and in Miguel's eyes that made her the best hero.

The scene cuts, showing a boy breaking the chain of a bike.

The thief rides the stolen bike down a sidewalk, pushing passersby off the street when suddenly, Rhea swings after him and lands in front of him holding out one end of a strand of web.

"Hey, could you hold this for a second? Thanks."

When the thief looks down at the web, Rhea uses his momentary distraction to glue him to the web, she then lets go of the web and the thief is pulled into the air.

Some let out a chuckle at that as Hermes shook his head, "That was horrible, it could have been accomplished in a better way."

"Eh, I think Rhea did a good job catching him." Leo commented to which Hermes huffed.

"I know! I'm talking about the one who tried to steal the bike, he could have done better, definitely not my son." Hermes commented, disappointed, causing the gods to just roll their eyes at his comment.

With the thief still dangling above her, Rhea holds up the bike and searches for its owner.

"Hey, is this anybody's bike? No?" She looks around before focusing on a man walking past, "Hey, buddy, is this your bike?"

"I have no change." The man answers as he walks past her, not even bothering to look towards her.

"Does anyone have a pen? Do you have a pen?" Rhea then asked.

Minutes later on the handle of the bike, Rhea has left a note saying: IS THIS YOUR BIKE? IF NOT, DON'T STEAL IT! —SPIDER-WOMAN.

Sam and Bucky let out a laugh as they looked at Rhea in disbelief, "You really left a note?"

Rhea shrugged, "What? I don't see anything wrong with that."

Rhea swings by a train station high above ground level and strikes a pose. "Whoo! Everybody good?" She yells as some of the people take pictures of her.

"So that's normal for people in New York?" Hazel asked, confused.

"Yeah, since everyone knows about the avengers not so many people are surprised to see someone swinging around the city almost every day." Ned explained.

The scene changes showing Rhea on top of a subway car, reading something on her phone.Then she is shown standing up on the edge of a building, the flag of the United States billowing in the wind behind her, when a man calls out.

"Hey! You're that spider girl on YouTube, right?"

"Call me Spider-Woman!" Rhea yells back.

"Okay, Spider-Woman. Do a flip." The street vendor says and Rhea immediately does a backflip on the roof. "Yeah!" He cheers as the Man next to him nodded, impressed. "Not bad."

"Agree, that's cool!"

The scene changes, Rhea jumps from a rooftop spinning in mid-air before shooting a web towards a building and swinging across the city.

"Oh, I'd like to do that but with my luck I know I'd forget to shoot a web and end up with my face right on the ground."

Then she is shown patiently giving directions to an old woman. Then a thin strand of web suspended between a building and an old, rusty water tank is shown where Rhea practices her tightrope skills.

The scene changes to a man trying to open a car door with a thin slab of metal. Rhea, seeing this, jumps onto the roof of the car, then uses her web to bang the man's head on the car causing the alarm to start sounding loudly.

"Hey, buddy. Shouldn't steal cars. It's bad." Rhea glues the man's hand to the car and jumps off.

"It's my car, dumbass!" The man shouts back with an angry look on his face.

An old woman, Marjorie, looks out from her window and starts to shout at Rhea. "Hey! Shut that off!"

"I was just tryin' to—" Rhea tries to explain but in that moment a man comes out of the building with an angry expression.

"That's not your car! That's his car."

"How was I supposed to know? He was putting that thing in the window!" Rhea exclaimed throwing her hands in the air.

"To be honest, it did look like he was trying to steal the car." Clint pointed out, some in the room nodding in agreement.

"Every day with these damn alarms!"

"I work at night! Come on, dude!"

"Shut it off!"

"Don't make me come down there, you punk!" An old, white-haired man wearing sunglasses shouts at Rhea, but then Marjorie notices him from the building across the street.

"Hey, that's FeDEx's delivery guy!" Tony suddenly said, how could he forget about him as he was the one who caused Rhodey to tease him for weeks since instead of calling him Tony Stark he called him Tony Stank.

Steve frowned at that, "I'm pretty sure he lived in D.C. and works at the museum."

Thor shook his head, "No my friends, he's the one who ruined my hair." He says causing Loki to snicker at his brother's expression.

Miguel narrowed his eyes at the screen, "I'm pretty sure he is our bus driver for the field trips."

Clint snapped his fingers as he remembered something, "Wait, wasn't he the guy who was dragged out of one of the parties we had at the Avengers tower?"

Hearing that the avengers along with the others who had somehow met the man remained deep in thought, trying to make sense of how it was possible that they knew the same person but with different identities.

"Hey, Gary. How you doing?"

"Marjorie, how are you? How's your mother?"

Rhea looks at them for a few more seconds before shooting a web and swinging away from them.

She continues swinging across the city passing through an alley when suddenly her grip on her web slips, causing her to fall on her face. "Ugh! I'm good, I'm good." She yells as she throws at thumbs up in the air.

Snorts were heard around the room.

Miguel shook his head as a small smile appeared on his face, "Sometimes you're a bit clumsy."

After watching some of the patrol, the Avengers understood better Miguel and Percy's comment about Spider-Woman being the better hero. They had glimpse of how Rhea really tried to help others even if it was with the smallest thing, and though she sometimes made some mistakes she learned from them and didn't stop her from doing her duty of protecting and helping others.

The scene changes, it's night time and Rhea can be seen perching on a fire exit high above the ground, her mask rolled up to her nose. She was munching on her sandwich as she had her phone on her ear.

"You have reached the voicemail box of...Happy Hogan."

"Hey, Happy! Um, here's my report for tonight. I stopped a grand theft bike. Couldn't find the owner, so I just left a note. Um...I helped this lost, old Dominican lady. She was really nice and bought me a churro. So...I just, um, feel like I could be doing more. You know? Just curious when the next real mission is gonna be. So, yeah, just call me back. It's Rhea. Parker."

Happy winced at that, "I'm sorry, kid. Like I said before, I did listen to your messages but I should have at least answered some of them."

Rhea gave him a small smile, "It's okay, Happy, it's in the past, and I know you were busy too, but I still appreciate that you listening to them."

Rhea hangs up her phone and sighs. "Why would I tell him about the churro?"

A warning signal blinks on her web-shooter indicating web fluid low. Rhea ejects the cartridge, then scrambles to catch it, standing sideways off the fire escape. She places the cartridge on her belt.

Then something catches her attention, four men walk towards a closed bank, they are all dressed in black, carrying some duffle bags while looking around before entering the ATM.

"Finally, something good." Rhea says before sliding down her mask, covering her entire face before shooting a web towards the building where the ATM was.

"I have a bad feeling about this." Sally murmured, worrying about young Parker.

Inside Queens Community Bank, a robber wearing a Hulk mask is cutting the ATM with a high tech tool that has a glowing Chitauri energy core inside.

"Wait, are those the weapons we saw at the beginning? The ones that Toomes guy was making?" Leo asked once he saw the weapons, his eyes showing curiosity at seeing how the weapon worked.

"Yeah, those are the ones. It looks like his main buyers were criminals." Rhea commented while frowning.

"That's definitely not safe at all, I mean they're dealing with artifacts that they don't fully know how really work." Bruce commented to which Loki nodded in agreement.

"The energy of the Chitauri weapons may be more dangerous than what you witnessed that time in the New York attack." Loki commented, trying to ignore the glares the Avengers gave him at the reminder of what had happened.

Rhea and Ned shared a look at that, since they knew beforehand how dangerous the alien artifacts could be.

"Yo, this high tech stuff makes it too easy."

"Told you it was worth it."

Another robber uses a high tech device to grab and pull off the front of the ATM. The huge chunk of metal is suspended in the air. Other robbers start to bag the cash.

"Man, that's so cool." Leo exclaimed but then groaned as he felt Piper hit him behind his head, "Ouch! I was referring to the weapons not about them stealing the money!"

"We can hit, like, five more places tonight." One of the robbers says.

Behind them, Rhea silently comes through the door and casually leans on the wall before clearing her throat, "What's up, guys? You forgot your PIN number?"

Some couldn't help but laugh at the way Rhea appeared, Hermes tried to control his laughter as he watched Rhea, "Did you really just walk over there so casually?"

Rhea shrugged as she gave them a shy smile, "Yeah."

Poseidon let out a chuckle at that but then smiled softly at his daughter's attitude.

The robbers turn to her revealing that they are wearing cheap plastic masks of the Avengers: Hulk, Captain America, Thor, and Iron man.

Clint let out a gasp as he wore an offended expression, "What about us, don't they consider us avengers? Like why are they just wearing masks of the others!" He exclaimed as he pointed at himself, Natasha, Sam and Wanda who just rolled their eyes at his comment, particularly not offended about the robbers not wearing masks of their faces.

"Whoa! You're the Avengers." Rhea points at them, sounding surprised. "What are you guys doing here?"

One of the robbers loads his gun but Rhea shoots a web to grab it and hit "Iron Man" and "Thor" with it.

"Thor. Hulk. Good to finally meet you guys." She then proceeds to push "Hulk" away. She then jumps, sticking her hand in the ceiling as she uses her feet to hold "Thor" and throws him into a wall. "Huh, I thought you'd be more handsome in person."

Rhea then is hanging upside down from the ceiling when "Iron Man" starts to throw aimless punches at her, "Iron Man. Hey, what are you doing robbing a bank? You're a billionaire." She says before stopping his fist with her hand and pushing him towards the other robbers.

Several began to laugh at the interaction and at Rhea's attitude towards the situation but still the adults, the sea family and some of the gods who were warming up to the young Parker couldn't help but worry about her, especially when she was on her own confronting the robbers who were armed.

Percy snorted at the scene, "I love how she just started a conversation with them."

"Is this common for you? Just start talking during fights?" Sam asked curiously as he remembered her doing the same thing when she fought him and Bucky.

Rhea nods as an amused smile appears on her face, "Eh, it's a way for me to deal with those situations, it makes it a little more entertaining plus it's fun to tease the criminals and that sometimes gets them distracted."

Meanwhile, "Captain America" succeeds in picking up the high tech device that had been used to pull the metal chunk off the ATM and aims it at Rhea who jumps at him but is suspended in the air by the force field of the weapon.

The laughter around the room diminishes as they see what was going on, several looking concerned.

"Hey! Oh, this feels so weird." Rhea says, her voice sounding distorted, she then is thrown against the wall. "Whoa, what is that thing?" She is once again caught in the force field of the device, "I'm starting... to think... you're not... the Avengers!" She yells as she is thrown back and forth between the ceiling and the floor.

A few groaned and winced at seeing how Rhea was thrown back and forth to the ground and the floor.

With her sticky fingers, she holds onto the ground and shoots a web at a desk in the corner and pulls on it, hitting "Captain America".

"How come you were still standing after being thrown around like that so many times?" Hazel asks as she looked at Rhea with wide eyes.

"That's all thanks to the spider bite." Rhea simply said.

The scene cuts to Mr. Delmar holding a phone to his ear as he watches the attempted bank robbery from his deli across the street.

"911. What's your emergency?"

"Uh...Spider-Woman is fighting the Avengers in a bank on 21st street." He says as he looks towards the bank where money is flying everywhere, Spider-Woman jumping off walls as the "Avengers" try to fight her.

A few of the people in the room couldn't help but chuckle at that as from the outside perspective it looked a bit chaotic.

The scene changes back to inside the bank.

"Alright guys, let's wrap this up. It's a school night." Rhea kicks "Thor" into a glass wall, making it crack. "Iron Man" holds up the force field device, but before he can do anything, Rhea webs the device against the glass, jumps onto "Iron Man," and checks his face underneath the mask. "So, how do jerks like you get tech like this?"

"Hulk", annoyed by what was happening, fires up the device that cuts through metal.

"No. Wait, wait, wait!" Rhea quickly pulls "Iron Man" and herself out of the way. The plasma blast cuts through walls and hits Mr. Delmar's store across the street causing the deli-grocery to burst into flames.

Some gasped at the sight of what the weapon had caused, how the building was on fire. A few cast worried glances towards Rhea as they realized how dangerous those weapons are.

"Mr. Delmar." Rhea quickly runs into the decimated store. "Hey, Mr. Delmar, you in there? Is anybody here? Hello?" She calls out as she goes further into the store.

Sounds of surprise rang out at Rhea's action, as she did not hesitate for a second to enter the burning building to help Mr. Delmar.

Actions like those made it even more clear that Rhea was one of the most selfless heroes they had ever met, as with that action she showed that she would indeed do anything to help and protect the people.

"Now, I understand why she is the favorite of many." Bruce said as he looked at Rhea with admiration.

Seconds later, Rhea comes out of the burning store, helping Mr. Delmar, who is wheezing and coughing but alive. Murph the cat is safe in Rhea's arms, too.

"She even saved the cat!" Grover commented as he watched the scene and Rhea's heroic act.

Poseidon let out a sigh, running a hand over his face as he tried to shake off the feeling of worry. Yes, he knew his daughter was safe and sound in the same room as them but that didn't stop him from feeling troubled as he watched his daughter run straight into danger.

She then looks towards the bank just to find out that it is empty. The robbers have escaped. "Oh, come on. You've got to be—"

The cat starts to meow, making Rhea look at him before handing him to Mr. Delmar. "Here, here."

"Thank you." Mr. Delmar said, Rhea just nodded at him.

She waited a few minutes until she heard the Firetruck siren. At seeing it at the end of the street, she decided that it was time to go so after sending one last look towards Mr. Delmar, she shoots a web towards a building and swings away from the place.

"Well, that was...eventful." Clint commented after a few minutes causing the others to nod as they processed what they had learned about Rhea's life.

"And that was a calm day in my life compared to what happens next." Rhea commented earning looks from everyone.

"That doesn't help me to ease my worries." Poseidon muttered as he looked at his daughter who just shrugged and smile at them.

Suddenly two portals began to appear causing everyone to look at them in confusion.

"Mr. Strange, are you going to bring more people?" Rhea asked somewhat confused and a bit annoyed as she didn't expect Strange to bring more people to watch her life.

Strange frowned as he shook his head, cautiously rising from his seat, "I am not responsible for what is happening." He replied, causing everyone to tense and stand on guard.

A bright light flashed as the portals began to fully open causing some to avert their gaze. When the light subsided everyone looked back towards the front of the room noticing the two new people causing everyone's expressions to change to one of confusion and wariness.

Suddenly the two new people focused their gaze on Rhea who was looking at them with narrow eyes, her senses began to heighten to their maximum as she got up from her seat and approached them.

"What's she doing?" Annabeth asked Percy who didn't answer as he had his attention on his sister who was advancing towards the 2 new people who appeared. Percy was worried because he didn't know who they were, he didn't know if they could be a threat.

Rhea stood a couple of steps away from the two new people. The 3 stare each other for a tense moment before one of them shoots a web.

"What the fuck?!"
