It was after lunch that everyone sat back down to continue watching the memories "Alright everyone, this memories will bring tears so have tissues on stand by" Penny sighed and leaned against Stephen not ready to watch whatever is going to be shown

13 year old Penny stood on the front porch of her house looking at her Uncle Ben. She was wearing ripped jeans, black sneakers and a red sweater, her brown hair hiding the left side of her face. Ben looked around his late 20, dark brown hair and brown eyes still wearing his police uniform "Go in there and apologize" Ben ordered

Penny and May sucked in a deep breath recognizing what memory was about to be shown. May slid closer to Penny and grabbed her hand knowing her niece still blamed herself for this

Penny walked into the house and saw her aunt May pacing back and forth in the living room "I'm sorry Aunt May, I uh-" Penny started but May cut her off "Honestly you don't have to apologize to me. It's your-"

"The hell she doesn't" Ben cut May off making her sigh "Look I'm sorry, Uncle Ben" Penny said looking at her uncle "I got distracted" Pen tried to explain to but Ben cut her off "Oh you got distracted. You're Aunt, my wife had to walk alone in the middle of the night and wait alone in a subway station because you got distracted!"

"Ben sweetheart! Honesty I am completely capable of walking home alone" May told him "You will not defend this girl"

"I'm not defending-"

"You are defending!"

Penny looked between her auguring aunt and uncle and sighed leaning against the wall. She hated when they augured, it reminder her of when her parents augured before they left her

"Oh Penny I'm sorry. We didn't know" May apologized now knowing why every time her and Ben fought Penny would cover her ears and leave the room. It reminder her of what she lost and then they fought again right before she lost Ben

"Listen to me Pen"

"Yeah go ahead" Penny told him her voice tight

"You're a lot like your father. You really are dear and that's a good thing but your father lived by a philosophy, a principle really" Penny took a deep breath she didn't like talking about her parents or having people talk about them "He believed that if you could do good things for other people you had a moral obligation to do those things. That's what's as stake here, not choice. Responsibility"

Penny looked at May before looking down trying to hide her tears "That's nice. That...That's great" Penny looked at her uncle tears in her eyes as she shrugs "It's all well and good, so where is he?"

"Huh?" Ben asked shocked

Penny has silent tears streaming down her face knowing what's going to happen and she doesn't want to hear it again. Tony looked at Penny and May with a frown, he could figure out what was going on

"Where is he? Where's my dad?" May covered her mouth as tears started to fall "He didn't think it was his responsibility to be here and tell me this himself?" Pen asked her voice thick with emotion as she starts crying
