BatMom- Tim Drake

Masterlist

Part One

Part Two

Tim Drake, her Genius Bird.

She had not been prepared for her third bird, no, the boy came crashing into her life quite unexpectedly. In fact he had sought her out one night as she was trailing behind a depressed and hurting bat. Marinette had to admit the little bird had some spunk he had practically thrown himself off the building when he saw her.

Ignoring her reprimanding him over dangerous stunts like that, and he just pulled out a picture.

A picture of her, Dick, and Jason-her sweet babybird-a picture she had never seen before.

Soon after pulled out another one, this time of Lady Noir, Robin, and the newly named Nightwing, it was his first patrol after finally letting go of Robin. Two things ran though Marinette’s mind as she stared at the pictures.

1-I’ve never seen these before, Alfred would have given me copies.

2-He knows.

It was after he lowered them, that she recognized him. Tim Drake, the shy little boy that was Bruce’s neighbor.

'He shouldn’t be in Gotham. Janet and Jack are currently in France. Why isn’t their son with them?’

Tim looked up at her before placing the photos in her hand giving her a small smile.

“I knew you wouldn’t let me fall, Miss Marinette, you never let them fall.” This caused her to flinch, she still blamed herself for what happened to Jason. Tim had noticed and knew he had to plead his case before the hurting mother closed in on herself. “Just like how you won’t let Bruce fall completely into the darkness. You can’t do it alone though.” He said softly, grabbing her free hand in his own attempt to be comforting. “Batman needs a Robin, without one he sinks into the darkness.” Marinette turned looking away from the boy, slightly anger burning in her chest. It wasn’t directed at Tim though, no it was at herself.

“Robin is gone kiddo, we can’t keep living in the past.” She said and stood up, ready to summon Kaalki so that she could take Tim back home.

“Jason wouldn’t want you to blame yourself, and he wouldn’t want Bruce to self-destruct.” Tim said determined, not flinching when Lady Noir turned her neon green eyes on him. “Dickie needs to be his Robin again.” He pulled out another two pictures, this first one older and more worn.

It was her and Dickie out on his first patrol, Batman stood behind them in the picture. She was Ladybug, a rare sight, Ladybug rarely showed herself in Gotham, and Dick was in his first Robin body armor. They sat on the edge of a building, feet dangling as they ate ice cream.

She had insisted on it, stating that they had to celebrate and Batman had simply grumbled knowing better than to argue with someone even more stubborn than him. The second picture was Ladybug and Robin again, but this time it was her tough little bird and Nightwing sat on her other side. They all sat eating ice cream, smiling and enjoying their time together. Lady Noir let out a soft ‘oh’, she missed her babybird so much. “You need a Robin too, a Robin to help you.” Lady Noir stared at the picture before sitting down a fake nail carefully rubbing over Jason’s face.

“My baby boy.” She whispered softly a sad smile on her face before she looked up at Tim. “May I keep these?” Tim nodded vigorously, smiling as he moved closer.

“I have more pictures in my room at Drake Manor!” He said, scoffing his foot against the ground and looking down abashedly. Lady Noir nodded looking up at him with a gentle smile.

“I’d, I’d like to see them please, Mister Drake.”

“Just call me Tim”

“Very well, Tim.”

Tim was on the right track, Batman did need Robin, but Dick had already flown. He started making a name all his own, but this time he’d get to help in training their next bird.

The start had been rocky, Bruce hadn’t wanted anything to do with him. He had even snapped at Marinette accusing her of trying to replace Jason.

That had landed him in a fight he couldn't win, Marinette had thoroughly beaten him for it before snapping at the man verbally. Alfred had taken his anger out in a less violent way but extremely unpleasant way.

Bruce had to endure burnt food for what felt like months.

Marinette had taken the boy under her wing from the moment she had found out he was completely alone at Drake manor. She didn’t report the Drakes right away however, instead she took Tim in, giving him his own room. She went through the entire manor, taking pictures of all the rooms absolutely covered in dust. Showing that only three places were taken care of Tim’s room, the kitchen, and the library. She then reached out to all former employees, including the Nanny that had been employed just a year previous. The amount they had to say left Marinette very happy and unhappy. Happy for it was more to add to her case, a case that her lawyer was more than excited to work on. It wasn’t a surprise, Adrien had always loved it when she brought him hard cases that needed a lot of work. Unhappy because of what poor Tim had gone through.

Since taking him in Marinette and him had slowly grown closer, however she still refused to let him go out as Robin. Which annoyed the young boy greatly because it was clear Robin was still needed. Dick was the one that provided him the help he needed.

For a year Dick would pick Tim up every weekend claiming they were going camping, when in reality they were going to the old Titan’s tower. He had trained Tim for a year and then he had given Tim his own Robin uniform. Telling him to be safe and let him know when to expect his first patrol, already in fear of Marinette’s reaction.

“The woman is scary ya know?”

“But you love her.”

“I do.”

When Lady Noir first saw a new Robin flying she nearly snapped until she noticed her first bird trailing behind. Instead of rushing in and snatching her bird up she decided to follow him. The entertainment of watching the bird drive the big bad bat up the wall made it worth it. It took half an hour for Batman to finally call it quits and call a family meeting, or well, he called it a team meeting but pot meets kettle.

“Did you do this?”

He immediately rounded on Marinette which caused an immediate glare at him as she crossed her arms and leaned back in the chair. Dick and Tim were tense watching the two questioning if they should speak up. It took a rather hard hit to Dick’s rib cage by Tim for their eyes to snap to Dick.

“Ya so it may have, possibly been me.”

He said giving them his most charming smile, Bruce’s face didn’t budge but he saw Marinette’s lip twitch just slightly. Which calmed him only a little, the night was long and ended with Bruce agreeing to take Tim as his Robin. He had tried to get the kid to stay at the manor but Marinette refused.

“Not gonna happen Bruce, you can pick him up every night from me, two buildings over from my penthouse. Now come on Dickie, we need to get ice cream.”

Tim Drake, His Parents Return.

Tim had flourished under Marinette’s care; he was only twelve and yet he was one of the smartest people she’d ever met. Everything she decided to teach him he learned in less than a week, and as they progressed he learned even quicker. So much so she couldn’t keep up with him. Her boy was incredibly smart, probably smarter than Bruce as well.

He had already surpassed her with his knowledge in technology and science. The only thing he could not surpass her in was her talent in fashion. He had attended multiple Galas with her at this point and knew almost everyone in the fashion industry by name. He also knew those to watch out for and those to treat with high regards. For instance, to avoid Lila Rossi at all costs, they had not been able to dig up solid proof of her working with Hawkmoth so she still ran free. He knew could trust Adrien Agreste with his life and that the man would do anything to help him or Marinette, granted. Finally he knew to always give respect to Audrey and Chloe Bourgeois, but if they overstepped a boundary it was imperative for him to stand up for himself. Neither women respected people that allowed themselves to be walked all over, that’s why they held Marinette in such high regards.

But it was his attendance to those Galas that brought his parents attention back to him. The night they arrived at Marinette’s penthouse she had been ready for a fight. She had Adrien there already, having sent Kaalki to get him. Tim sat on the couch finishing his homework glancing up every so often at the two adults whispering together.

“Mari, there is nothing we can do until the police are involved, and you know they can take him. You can't leave him in the dark about this.”

“I don't want them to take him, Rein. There must be something we can do.”

“Not right now, I have pulled up everything I could, but if you refuse to let him go they can charge you with kidnapping. You need to tell him Mari.”

“Fine”

Marinette stood walking over to Tim, she slowly kneeled on the ground by the couch. Tim refused to look at her, he already knew what was coming and didn’t want to acknowledge it.

“Tim.” She said softly calling for his attention, he simply shook his head, burying his face deeper in his textbook. Marinette’s heart broke as she slowly reached up, taking the book from his hands. “Tim, I need to talk to you.”She took his hands in hers, kissing his knuckles softly. “Please look at me TimTim.” He hesitated before looking into her eyes, tears brimming his own. “Tim, you are going to have to go with them.”

“I don’t want to, please don’t make me.”

“I don’t want you to either Birdie, but if I keep you they can charge me with kidnapping and that will hurt our case.” She slowly pulled the bird into her lap cradling him against her chest. “I promise you Tim, you won't stay with them long. I will not stop fighting until you are released into my care. I have Bruce, and Commissioner Gordon on my side, not to mention Adrien who is one of the best lawyers in the world, as well as Bruce’s large list of lawyers. I will get you back TimTim, it will just take me a little time.” Tim wrapped his arms around her waist crying into her shoulder. Marinette stroked his back, rocking slowly as she held back tears, she hated this, all of it.

“I am moving in with Bruce until this is over, Adrien is coming with me, and Dick is finishing the week off, then taking a Leave of Absence from Bludhaven PD. He will be at the manor too and will be sneaking over to Drake manor to see you.” Tim nodded before pulling back, wiping at his eyes, only stopping when Marinette pulled his hand away. She began softly dabbing under his eyes, a gentle smile on her face. “Let's get your school work together okay?” They put away his work, sending each other teasing little comments and lightening the mood. Adrien watched his best friend with a soft smile, as she completely relaxed. Their peaceful atmosphere was interrupted by a sharp knock on the door. Marinette gave Tim one last tight hug as her housekeeper slowly made her way over. Mrs. Reynolds turned looking at her young employer, her hand hovering over the door knob.

“You can still run. I know the Horse God can take you anywhere Miss. I can say you’re not here.” Marinette smiled at her shaking her head even though she wanted nothing more than to take him and run.

“Non, Mrs. Reynolds, we can not run from everything. The barbarians are at the gates, and I fear it's time to face them.” She gently brushed Tim’s hair down, nodding for the women to open the door. Janet was the first to enter storming past Mrs. Reynolds nearly knocking the women over, Jack following behind her.

“You! Give me my son back! How dare you take him from his home, and make it look like my husband and I are unfit parents!” Janet said, beginning to get in Marinette’s face, expecting the smaller woman to back up, but Marinette stood her ground looking unimpressed.

“Oh no, you did that to yourself Janet. You and your husband are unfit parents, and don’t worry soon everyone will know it. Adrien if you’d please.” Adrien stood up making his way over and held out a neat stack of papers to Jack as he looked at Janet.

“You may be taking young Tim home tonight, but I promise you, he will not be there long.” Adrien smirked, pushing his glasses up; he didn’t need them he just thought they made him look mature. “You see I already had Commissioner Gordon get a search warrant for your mansion. Given you two just arrived back in the states, you were already much too late to have the mansion cleaned up in time.” Jack and Janet’s confident looks slowly dropped as Jack took the papers. “I promise you this, Tim will not be in your care for longer than a week.”

“Enough I am not scared of new money! Give me my son now!” Janet snapped glaring at Marinette who simply stared back at the women. She turned away looking down at Tim with a soft smile.

“Go with them, I promise we will have you back soon TimTim.”

Tim nodded before walking towards Janet and Jack, tensing when Janet gripped his arm dragging him out of the penthouse.

“We’ll get him back Marinette.” Adrien said softly while Mrs. Reynold’s closed the door, Marinette nodded before turning and heading towards the balcony. Plagg slowly floated up resting on his kitten’s shoulder.

“Just let her be for a bit, Adrien. She needs time.”

“I know Plagg”

Marinette walked out and stared down at the entrance to the building watching until Tim and the senior Drakes finally exited. Janet still dragged him as they headed towards their limo, a tear fell as she watched her bird forced in. She pulled out her phone dialing Bruce’s number.

“Brucie, they took him. Ya could you send Alfred please, I-I don’t want to be here right now. Thank you.”

It wasn’t until four days later Marinette saw her TimTim again. Her, Bruce, and Adrien sat with Commissioner Gordon and a Social worker discussing the case. When Dick burst into the room carrying Tim in his arms pure rage clear in his eyes. “I swear to the lord above if you don’t get him out of that house I am going to commit murder.” Dick sat down in Marinette’s lap much to the amusement of everyone in the room. Both boys curled in the smaller woman’s lap as she wrapped her arms around them. “The nerve of that woman! How dare she! How dare she think she could get away with it too!”

“What happened, pretty bird?” She asked softly, running her hand through her eldest’s hair, calming him slightly.

“She slapped him mom! She slapped him and blamed this all on him! I went over to check on him and their housekeeper let me in and immediately rushed me to the living room! The woman was begging me to get him away from them! I entered the room right as she slapped him, while Jack watched drinking bourbon from his arm chair!” Marinette reached up with one hand tilting Tim’s face towards hers showing the bruises.

“Oh baby.” She whispered softly, her eyes tearing up. Bruce frowned, turning to the shocked social worker and determined Commissioner.

“Enough proof?” The social worker nodded, pulling out her phone and typing on it.

“I am giving you and Miss Dupain-Cheng temporary custody of Tim Drake until the trial. At which you will both be given the opportunity to adopt him.”

“Good.” Bruce said, turning to look at his boys and their mother, only wishing that their second bird was there with them. Soon enough Marinette and Tim were splitting their time between the manor and their penthouse.

———————————<3————————————

Tim Drake, The Titans.

Restarting the Titans had been Marinette’s idea, Tim wasn’t so little anymore, in fact he was now taller than her by eight inches and was fifthteen. She knew her little bird needed to spread his wings, much like her first did. However he needed a little push, and she was more than happy to push him, with her eldest’s help of course.

It was one Saturday morning when the newest Titan’s were called together, Robin the third, Wonder Girl the second, Impulse, and Superboy, of course they had no idea why they were there.

Nightwing had them under the impression that it would be a temporary teamwork when it happened. You see, Cyborg knew that something was going to happen in Jump City and agreed to see how they worked together. Of course the original Titans and Ladybug along with Chat Noir were watching to make sure nothing happened if the team self-destructed, but they were all pleased that they worked as if they had been together for years. Ladybug slowly lowered herself to land beside Nightwing and Starfire, as the team celebrated their win. Until Robin noticed his mother and brother’s smug looks, putting the pieces together rather quickly.

“So this was your plan? You wanted to test us all together as a team, I knew something was up when Nightwing pulled me out of Gotham for this team up. However I did not think Ladybug was also behind this, along with Chat it seems.” Ladybug waved her hand with a smile, looking up towards the building she had come from where her old partner resided. He grinned waving down at the currently shocked new Titans. “Well he wanted to stretch his legs for a bit and I wanted to see how my bird would do with a team. What do you think, Robin, Wonder Girl, Impulse, Superboy? I have all your mentors' approval, how would you like to be a team together under Nightwing and Starfire’s supervision?” Nightwing startled looking at his mother in shock.

“Hold up, under my-” He paused seeing the look Ladybug was giving him before nodding vigorously much to Starfire’s amusement. “Yes, yes under mine and Star’s supervision.”

Robin gave him a deadpan look before turning back to Ladybug, the two sharing a silent conversation.

‘Are you trying to get rid of me?’ His eyes glancing down at the ground then back up.

‘Never. You need some time with others, not Bats’ She shifted onto her right leg leaning towards the others, placing her left hand on her hip.

‘And if I say no?” His nose twitched slightly.

‘I will accept it, but be sad.’ Her head tilted to the side, slight frown.

‘Fine, I will try for you.’ He crossed his arms, meeting her eyes.

‘Thank you.’ She smiled at him.

Robin turned towards the others stating that he’d be willing to try if they would, and soon after the new Titans were formed.

“Hold up, no one's gonna comment on their freaky silent communication?” Beast Boy asked, causing laughter to ring out from the old and new Titans.

Soon Tim spent every weekend in Jump City, and while Marinette missed him, she was happy because her bird was finally making real friends.

Time Drake, Joker Jr.

“Three weeks! He has been gone for three fucking weeks!” Marinette snapped, slamming her first against the wall of the cave. “Three weeks and we have no leads to where my boy is!” Tears fell from Marinette’s eyes as Batman removed his cowl and moved over to her. Marinette hugged him, needing someone to stabilize her and bring her back down to earth. “Three weeks...three weeks.” She whispered weakly, cherishing this rare moment of Bruce’s comfort.

“We’ll find him Marinette, Dick and Barbara are out there now, and we need to be out there too.”

Marinette was silent before nodding and pulling away.

“You are right. Tikki, spots on!....Tikki, Plagg, Unify!!”

Bruce slipped the cowl on and soon they were both in the Batmobile speeding through the streets of Gotham.

Lady Noir was jumping over an alleyway when a familiar high pitched voice called out to her.

“Sweetie! Sweetie! Ah geez, what-a the bird brats call ya again? Oh! Oh! Miss Noir! Or is it Mrs. Noir?” Lady Noir’s eyes narrowed as she dropped into the alleyway taking in Harley Quinn’s beat up appearance. She dropped down ready for a fight when to her surprise Harley threw her hands up. “Wait-wait! I’m not here to fight ya see! I swear it! I need your help Miss Noir and I can help you in return! Mista J has gone too far this time, and it affects your third bird!” Harley was wringing her hands together looking at the ground before back up at the hero. “You know just as most do, I’m not all there there in my old noggin. But I could never-would never hurt kids to the point that my Puddin has, first your second bird boy and now this one. I needed to stop him but I wasn’t strong enough! I thought I wouldn’t be able to do anything! But then! Then I remembered you! Oh geez Miss you gotta hurry before he hurts your boy for good!” Harley pleaded tears in her eyes as she grabbed the shocked heroine’s hands. “Save him before he is too far gone like me.”

“Where is he?”

“Old Arkham, the first one. You need to hurry Miss, you and the rest of you birds and bats. I’ll stay here, I swear it-can’t exactly go far right now anyway.”

Lady Noir nodded before using her yo-yo to get back to the roof. Setting off her com as she went alerting the other three heroes out.

“The Arkham ruins now, and hurry.”

Lady Noir arrived after Batgirl and froze in horror at the sight she saw. Batgirl was currently fighting a miniature Joker while the real Joker stood and laughed. It wasn’t until the tiny Joker pulled a move only four others knew that realization sank in. That was her third bird. Joker had tortured her bird and created this. He took one from her forever and permanently scared the other. Lady Noir launched herself at the Joker landing a solid right hook to his face, sending the insane man stumbling. His laughter never stopped as he faced Lady Noir addressing her as the other two fought.

“Well, well, well! If it isn’t the other cat that prowls Gotham!!” Joker said laughing as he wiped blood from his mouth. “Tell me kitty cat! Have you met my boy yet?” He laughs, dodging a punch from her, leading them both towards stacks of crates. “He is just perfect!! HAHAHA!!! I really did a number on this one!” Lady Noir let out an animalistic growl lashing out and caught Joker’s shoulder. Ripping the clothes and drawing blood. “Ooooh! Kitty does have some claws!” He said stumbling back and leaning against the crate. He stuck his arm behind his back, acting like he was stabilizing himself. His fingers wrapped around the crowbar laughing even louder as his crazed eyes met Lady Noir’s unfocused ones. She advanced on him, lost in her anger and not thinking straight.

Joker let out a cackle as he swung the crowbar hitting her hard on her right side. She let out a pained scream, jumping back when he raised the crowbar for another swing. Noir gripped her side jumping back again ignoring the pain flaring in her side as she dodged the crazed clown. She kicked her leg up, hitting him square in the jaw before keeling in pain. She took a deep breath as the Joker got back up laughing at her. He stumbled slightly rubbing his jaw as he looked at her. “Oh come on kitty cat! Don’t you just feel like laughing with me! Look, your wannabe bat over there is losing! It’s a great show!! HAHAHA, shame you had to interrupt my show. You know, I have put up with you for a long while now. You’re getting in my way now, YOU AND THOSE STUPID BIRDS! I’VE HAD ENOUGH! It’s time to put you all down! Then you won’t get in the way of me and Batsy! Oh well I suppose one of those birds will get to live, though he’ll live as Joker Jr. First I’ll take care of you oh I’ll have so much fun beating you black and blue. Just like I did to the second boy blunder, except I’m going to beat the life out of your eyes!” He said before laughing and charging at Lady Noir. She continued to dodge him, using her baton to block a few swings. She spun out of the way before gasping at the sudden sharp pain, and dropping her baton. The Joker laughed using her momentary distraction to hit her again. This time hard on her right forearm, bursting out in laughter at the audible crack. She bit her lip holding back her scream, causing her lip to bleed. She jumped back again doing her best not to move her now broken arm. Joker followed her laughing harder until his sight of her was blocked by Batman. “Batsy!! Finally arrived to the party, late as always I see!!” He laughed, swinging the crowbar around with a mad grin. Batman glared at him while Nightwing dropped down next to Lady Noir standing defensively by her side. She grabbed his arm gently looking up at his covered eyes.

“Help your father.” She whispered, ignoring Batman and Joker’s fight, her eyes trained on Batgirl and her baby bird. “I have to help him so make sure your father puts Joker in a full body cast.” She nodded to him before gingerly making her towards the two watching Batgirl hold her own against him. She took a deep breath bracing herself before rushing him from the back. She grinned as he tried to turn to hit her but she already had her arm wrapped around his torso pinning his arms down. He struggled elbowing her and trying to scratch her through the suit, she let out a yelp when he hit her rib. Then bit back a sob when he began hitting it repeatedly, tears gathered in her eyes but she refused to let go. “Smart bird.” She gritted out, tightening her grip pulling them both to the ground. Batgirl took a deep breath watching Lady Noir hold her hurt bird. Joker Jr. froze at the nickname, tears beginning to fill his eyes as he started to elbow her hurt ribs even harder. Lady Noir let out a broken sob as pain erupted and soon began struggling to breathe. Her rib just punctured a lung, if they didn’t wrap this up soon she’d be in danger. “My baby bird.” She whispered softly criss crossing her legs so he sat in her lap. “I’m so sorry, I should’ve found you sooner. I should’ve protected you.” Joker Jr. stopped struggling and broke into uncontrollable laughter before tears began to fall. Soon laughter turned to sobs and he curled over her good arm gripping it tightly. “It’s gonna be okay, we’re gonna get through this together. You,the family, and me, we’re going to get through this baby bird.”

Tim Drake, Youngest CEO of Wayne Enterprises.

They weren’t prepared in the least bit, and Marinette felt lost. Bruce, the Batman, one person she thought would fight till he was old and gray. Now he was gone and left behind his family and his newly introduced son.

They were struggling, bad, and Marinette barely kept them together. She nearly snapped when Tim told her he was taking over Wayne Enterprises. Her baby bird, seventeen, not done with school taking over an entire company. She stopped herself when Dick stepped in, her boys would be managing Wayne Enterprises together. Tim took over as CEO while Dick took over the publicity side. Together they moved into Marinette’s penthouse bringing Bruce’s birth son with them. Her smart bird was very disgruntled over that, upset because the boy tried to kill him and over how he talked to Marinette. Things weren’t smooth, the family was hurting, Marinette was hiding her bout of depression. Tim was getting no sleep, running the company and finishing school at night. Dick took over as Batman, running himself ragged trying to manage three jobs at once. Marinette finally put her foot down and Dick conceded taking family leave from BPD, and she slept in Tim’s room until he began sleeping curled up against her side. She hid her depression as best she could from a family of detectives and focused and took care of her boys. Alfred helped every step of the way, while also forcing her to talk to him about her own feelings. Alfred knew everything after all, her boys didn’t see the depression but he did. Mrs. Reynolds was at a loss for how to help them all, but did her best to keep them all on schedule.

The only real struggle they had was Tim being convinced that Bruce was alive. God did they want to believe it. Dick was too scared, worried that in the end it wouldn’t be true. Marinette because she didn’t know if this was denial or not. After long family talks including Damian who vehemently denied being a part of the family. They all agreed to support Tim in his search, and search he did even calling in favors from all over. Marinette was surprised by the amount of friends her TimTim had, proud wasn’t even able to describe how she felt. Her boy hadn’t even graduated yet but he was so far in life. She just wished Bruce was there to see him running Wayne Enterprises.

Time Drake, Bruce is Found.

Life was better, much better than it was a year ago. Damian was still rough around the edges but was much closer to them. Especially Dick and Marinette, and he no longer tried to kill Tim. They were slowly healing, Marinette’s depression was gone and she had informed the boys of it half way through the year. They were not prepared to find out Bruce was stuck traveling through time. Marinette joined Superman, Green Lantern, Rip Hunter, and Booster Gold jumping through time in an attempt to get Bruce back. Only for Bruce to find them first and of course have a fight following him. Now, they were locked in a room monitored by Superman and encased in green thanks to Green Lantern. Unable to do anything as they stop Bruce's heart without even telling his family the reason why. She paced back and forth hoping Tikki would make it back in time with Kaalki.

“Mistress Marinette I must insist you sit down. You have been fighting all morning and you only just got back from jumping through time.” Alfred insisted, causing attention to fall on Marinette, all of them taking in how stressed she was. He led her over to a chair ignoring her protests and getting her to sit down. Tim walked over fidgeting with his computer still trying to get service. He groaned, shutting it with a snap while wiping his eyes.

“I don’t know what to do.” He whispered softly and held back tears. The people he thought they could trust had locked them in this room. Marinette reached out, pulling him down in front of her. Tim rested his head on her leg crying quietly as she ran her fingers through his hair. Dick shuffled over sitting beside him leaning back against Marinette’s leg. Jason moved sitting on the arm of her chair turning to look behind her at Alfred. While Damian took a spot leaning against Dick.

“It’s okay Tim.” She whispered softly a few tears slipping as Alfred laid his hands on her shoulders. “It’s gonna be okay. They’ll slip eventually, we just need to stay calm. Tikki and Kaalki will be here soon.” Tim huffed, leaning his head into her hand.

“But will Bruce still be alive when we get out? All this work, all this time and when we finally get him back his own friends want to kill him!” The family was silent before Tim turned to Dick meeting his eyes. “Dickie, you know them best, why are they doing this? Is this even them?” Dick winced as he wrapped an arm around Damian’s waist pulling him closer.

“I,” he started turning to look at the door. “I don’t know Tim. Clark wouldn’t even say anything to me, he just ignored me.” Marinette ran her fingers through his hair before turning attention back to Tim.

“We’re here Tim, we’re here and together.” Tim nodded, wrapping an arm around her leg turning his head to look at his brothers. He snorted at the mild glare Damian had sent him and the middle finger Jason was failing at hiding.

“Just putting it out there though, this is not what I meant when I said we should spend more time together.” Dick said, causing a few chuckles and a flick to the head from Jason.

“Not the time, Dickhead.”

“Jason! Watch your language!”

“Please the Demon Brat has heard worse.” He mumbled out not looking Marinette in the eye.

“Master Jason, you better apologize to your mother, young man.”

Jason groaned, throwing his head back dramatically at Alfred’s comment. He turns to Marinette, meeting her eyes.

“I am sorry for calling Dickie, Dickhead.” Marinette smiled softly nodding in response ignoring Tim’s snort of amusement.

“Mom?” He asked softly, pulling away and sitting up. He was quiet for a second before seemingly making up his mind. "After we get out, can we take a break? Like can we leave Gotham and the public eye for a while and go to the Temple?” Marinette was surprised at the request and before she could question him, he continued. “Stephanie, and Cass can handle it for a while, especially with Barabra watching over them, and if they need help I’m sure the Titans would be willing to help as well.” Marinette thought it over before looking at Alfred, sharing a silent conversation.

“We’ll go to the Temple once Tikki and Kaalki get here. Alfred deserves a vacation, and I think it’s time I begin training you in using the Miraculous. We’ll have Mr.Fox tell the press that we are going on vacation. The Justice League won’t be able to find us as well.” Her boys smiled, even Damian gave a slight smile at the idea and soon after Tikki flew into the room, Kaalki’s glasses held in her arms and her fellow Kwamii followed. Marinette stood quickly taking the glasses, placing them on. “Kaalki, full gallop!” She called out transforming and grabbing the Horseshoe off her back. “Voyage!” She called, opening a portal to the temple, ushering her boys through as she watched the green disappear. She jumped through as Superman appeared, but he didn’t reach the portal in time. The last of the Batfamily was gone. “Quickly Tim hack the WatchTower, and find Bruce’s status!” Marinette said, waving the Monk’s off as she reached Tim. He sat crisscross typing quickly. His eyes widening and tears beginning to fall giving it all away. “Oh...oh Bruce.” She whispered softly, dropping transformation as she fell to her knees pulling Tim against her chest. Dick, Jason, and Damian joined the hug soon after. Alfred nodded to the Monks asking for a bit of privacy before joining his family in all but blood.

A few months past and they hadn’t left the Temple once, all of them healing from actually losing Bruce. Marinette took her time training her boys with the Miraculous that fit them best.

Dick and Xuppu take to each other like long lost best friends, learning the ins and outs of their partnership flawlessly. Jason and Trixx took to each other after they caught the other sneaking around the Temple. Damian and Longg bonded over formalities and soon you could not find the two separated from each other. Tim, her smart bird bonded with Nooroo, helping the gentle butterfly Kwamii heal in ways Marinette couldn’t. She couldn’t be prouder of them, especially her little Tim. He opened Nooroo’s heart back up and she finally got to see the Kwamii that existed before Hawkmoth took him. None of them were prepared for when Bruce came to the Temple and refused to believe it was him until blood tests were done. Tim demanded an explanation, glaring at his father figure as he held back tears.

“You were dead! You were dead and they didn’t tell us anything! They-they locked us in a room and didn't even acknowledge us!” Bruce frowned, pulling Tim into a hug, comforting the young man as best he could.

“Bruce.” Marinette called, eyes soft as they met his own. “Tell us what happened.” Bruce nodded letting go of Tim.

“They had to stop my heart in order to dissipate the Omega Energy that remained inside me. I don’t know why Clark didn’t explain this to you all.”

“You’re back then, for good? No more jumping through time? No more wondering if I’m crazy, you're actually back and alive?” Tim questioned looking Bruce in the eye, hands shaking not wanting to believe it was all over.

“Yes, it's over, Tim. I’m back and I don’t plan on leaving again.”

Tim Drake, Sexuality Crisis.

Marinette sat on the bed purposely not looking at her bird who had buried himself under his blankets. She kept focused on her newest book, waiting for him to pop out. Tim shifted slightly under the blankets and his head slowly moved out from under. Marinette held back a soft laugh as she watched from the corner of her eye. After a few moments his head was fully out and resting on her thigh. She slowly began carding a hand through his hair, scratching his scalp softly.

“Do you want to talk?” She asked softly using her thumb to change the page. Tim was silent as he stared at the wall, he shook his head as he placed a hand on her calf squeezing it. “Okay TimTim, whenever you’re ready.” He smiled softly nodding as he thought to himself, sitting in silence together.

"Mom," he said softly, looking up at her. "I think I like Bernard." Marinette closed her book looking down at him.

"Okay." She said softly, waiting for him to continue.

"But I also liked Stephanie. I liked both of them...is..is that weird? I mean like both of them like boys and girls??" Marinette brushed his bangs out of his face, shaking her head.

"Tim, this doesn't make you weird at all. It makes you human. Bisexuality is common although unfairly frowned upon. So you like both genders, who cares? It is your life, no one else's."

Tim smiled as he sat up and hugged her tightly.

"I think I'm going to ask Bernard out." Marinette smiled, returning the hug.

"Just be careful, your brothers already have the shovel talk ready."

"Already!?!?"

"Ya we all thought it was going to be Kon but you never cease to surprise us."

"Kon?!?"

"Ya I thought it was gonna be me too." Kon said from outside the window, causing Marinette to let out a bout of laughter.

"Kon!?" Tim jumped out of Marinette’s arms glaring at the window.

"What I thought I finally had my chance, and then this Bernard guy slips in, so unfair Tim-Tam." He says in good-hearted teasing, Marinette waves her hand giving Kon permission to come in.

"Why don't I leave you two to talk this out, I need to go stalk Jaybird and his new team anyway."

She said as she walked to the door.

"Take pictures!" Tim called, causing Marinette to laugh softly as she walked down the hall.

———————————<3————————————

Tim Drake, Coffee Addiction.

"An intervention.” Batman said finality in his voice as he stared at Lady Noir and Red Robin who were beating the life out of a for once terrified Joker. Matching cackles and a particularly hard hit to Joker’s groin had Nightwing cringing and nodding. Red Hood sat on a crate with a baggie of cookies helmet off as he ate.

“Count me out, this is therapeutic. Kick him in the balls again!” A quick thumbs up was all they got in response as Lady Noir and Red Robin kicked him simultaneously.

“Holy guacamole, how much coffee did they drink??” Nightwing muttered slowly backing away. “Ya know B, Bludhaven is really busy right now I should-”

“Don’t even think about it.”

“Damn.”

Lady Noir delivered one last punch to the Joker’s face before dropping him to the ground and Red Robin promptly maced him. She grinned, flipping her braid over her shoulder turning away from the screaming clown and wrapped an arm around Red Robin’s shoulder as they began to walk away.

“Let go after the Penguin next!” She chirped out excited only to be stopped when Batman walked over and picked her up holding her under his arm as he used Red Robin’s cape to make him stumble towards Nightwing. “Hey! B! Put us down! We have work to do!”

“No. Sleep time.”

“Oh you're one to talk hypocrite! If we go to sleep now, everyone goes to sleep now!” Lady Noir said, turning slightly to point a finger up at him.

“Lady Noir.”

“Everyone.” Lady Noir hissed out glaring up at him, Batman was silent before looking away.

“Fine.” He said as he carried her to the Batmobile Nightwing following with Red Robin. Red Hood trailed after them before voicing out the one thought on his mind.

“So are we gonna just ignore that RR, who definitely doesn’t share moms blood, inherited her coffee addiction?”

“Yaaa, we are definitely having an intervention.” Nightwing sighed, already making plans to get Harley Quinn available as the mediator.

———————————<3————————————

Tim Drake, Mom meets the Boyfriend.

Marinette was rushing around the living room straightening pillows, folding blankets, and brushing her boys hair down repeatedly no matter how many times she had passed them. “Ma, you’re gonna give me a bald spot at this point.” Jason complained only receiving a glare in response. He smiled at her cheekily before getting up from the couch and pulling her into a hug. "Come on Ma, if you keep pacing around you're gonna make Alfred think he does a terrible job cleaning." Alfred sniffed from his place besides the living room door.

"As if I could ever Master Jason, do not even insinuate that." Jason shot him a grin nodding in acknowledgment as he moved Marinette to sit in the chair besides the window. Bruce standing behind gazing out the window at the drive watching Tim’s car pull up.

"They're here, now boys remember Bernard is not from the hero community. On top of that he is a theorist of our identities, do not give anything away." Dick rolled his eyes sharing a look with Jason.

"Honesty B, we know this song and dance you don't have to worry." Damian huffed as he walked in with Jerry on a leash.

"Richard, father has every right to worry. Bernard is not one of us, there is no way to know what he could do if he finds out." Dick and Jason stared blankly down at Jerry as Damian walked over to Marinette. Bruce raised an eyebrow, his lips twitching in amusement as he watched Marinette lift Jerry into her lap. Damian gave a small smile as Marinette pulled him closer to her chair and ran her hand through his hair. "Ommii, Jerry wanted to see you." Marinette snorted softly cupping his cheek.

"Yes of course, it's not because Jerry will attack someone as long as you point at them." Damian sniffed, pulling an innocent look.

"Of course Ommii, don't make assumptions, that's beneath you." Marinette nodded, stroking his cheek before removing it, starting to gently run her fingers through Jerry's feathers. Bruce moved over, placing a hand on the back of her chair.

"You two spoil that turkey." He said, earning a reproachful look from Damian.

"Hush now Bruce, they are almost here." Marinette said, smiling softly as her and Damian shared a look.

"The family is this way Master Tim, you know Mistress Marinette is partial to this living room because of the gardens." Alfred's voice was heard approaching the door.

"Ah that's right! Your mom loves the gardens of Wayne manor doesn't she? Or well you said she loves every garden that is well taken care of but the Wayne garden is special." Tim’s familiar laugh rang out as the door opened and Alfred let them in.

"I do hold very fond feelings of the Wayne Gardens. Alfred and Damian take very good care of them." Marinette answered looking over Bernard with a twinkle of amusement in her eyes at his slight embarrassment. "Hello Tim" Tim grinned at her, grabbing Bernard's hand and pulling him over to her.

"Mom! This is Bernard, my boyfriend. Bernard, this is my Mom behind her my adopted father Bruce, my youngest brother Damian and in Mom's lap is his Turkey Jerry. My brother Jason is the one closest to the bookshelf and my brother Dick is the one upside down on the couch." Tim said shooting Dick a blank look that was returned with a grin.

"Richard."

"Yes Mom. Sorry Mom."

Dick was quick to correct himself on the couch but didn't lose his grin. Marinette turned back to Tim and Bernard with a gentle smile.

"Hello Bernard, it's a pleasure to meet you, Tim has told us about you."

"More like bagered on and on about you." Damian said, wincing when Bruce pinched his side.

"Ignore Damian, he likes to be a bratty younger brother." Tim said with a glare directed at Damian. Marinette held back a snort as she glanced between her two youngest.

"Ignore both of them Bernard, I think they like bickering back and forth." Marinette said teasingly as she stood up gently, setting Jerry on the ground. "It really is a pleasure to meet you! Tim has told us about you but getting to know someone in person is always better." Bernard grinned nodding as he walked closer.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Miss! Tim talks about you a lot!" He announced his smile brightening at the twinkle in Marinette’s eyes. "I'm happy to meet you all and can't wait to get to know the actual people behind Gotham's royalty." Marinette let out a loud laugh, nodding at the comment.

"Oh, we are just as crazy as the media shows, if not a little more! Come, come let's sit down, we still have sometime before dinner is finished. Tim told me you love going over conspiracies with him, I'd love to hear what you have been talking about." Bernard glanced at his boyfriend that was being held apart from Damian by a deadpan Bruce.

"Well, I totally think the Mr. Wayne is secretly Superman." Bernard said after they sat on the same couch as Jason. Marinette grinned brightly as she saw the horror full Bruce’s eyes as he tried to pretend he hadn't heard. Jason snorted, struggling not to laugh as he looked between Bernard and Bruce.

"Oh kid, you're my new favorite. I gotta introduce you to my partner Roy."

"That Oliver Queen's adopted son right? One of my favorite theories is that Mr. Queen is Green Arrow." Jason and Marinette were silent before Marinette made a face shaking her head.

"No Oliver is definitely too traumatized to pick up a bow and arrow after all that time he was missing. However, I definitely think he might be Batman, it's a great cover you know! Plus I have never seen them in the same place before!" Jason held back a laugh at the look of betrayal Bruce sent Marinette.

Hello! Im working on a new fic and was wondering if I could get some opinions on flashbacks!

Hello, enjoy this very short fic.

It's funny, I never thought I'd be on the other side of this.

Maybe it's the trauma of everything?

We had been doing it for years basically since we were able to walk and our parents didn't care where we were unless the street lights were on.

Maybe I wanted to see what it was like on the other side, maybe I just snapped when he died.

They weren't there for me or him after all. Maybe all the trauma just spiraled.

Or maybe. Maybe I'd always been this batshit insane enough to not just kill, but kill children.

Maybe he was just keeping me together.

He was always good at that after all, he was my first friend, my best friend, and the only friend I had left.

When he died I went off the deep end, definitely a case of codependency gone very very wrong. Wrong enough for me to murder, a step above what the creeps we use to investigate would do.

Hell I went as far to disappear, change my name, twice now.

Steve Raglan.

William Afton.

Norville Rogers.

Shaggy.

'Raggy.

I fell so far from what I had been, I wonder what the gang would think of me now. I wonder if they even think of me?

Maybe Velma would be proud I was smart enough to create two new identities…ya, no. She'd be too disappointed to unmask me after Fred announced he thought it was William Afton all along.

He wouldn't be wrong, but definitely not right. They'd be disgusted, he'd be disgusted.

I wish I could see him again, but I know my fate. I'm a murder, I've killed too many to ever join him, no, I'll be in this suit forever.

Because I always come back.

I'm sorry Scoob, but Shaggy died the day you died.

Hopefully....you can remember him, and not what he turned into.

What a Jurassic Mess

One Chapter Two

Gray ran up the steps to the Innovation Center pausing to look back at his siblings every so often.

“Come on!” He called out excitedly bouncing in place on the steps when everyone but Zach sped up a bit.

“Relax.” Zach called out as he started walking up the stairs, Gray glared slightly at him before continuing up the stairs.

“Come on!” He called out again, causing Zach to roll his eyes.

“Dude, chill.”

Nora and Gray pushed the doors open looking around excitedly as their siblings followed behind them. Zara barely made it through the doors as she paid too much attention to her phone. The announcer chimed overhead as the siblings looked at the holographic platform displaying a life-size projection of an Apatosaurus roaring seemingly at them.

“Welcome to the Innovation Center, where technology meets Prehistory. Join us on an exciting journey 65 million years into the past.” Gray rushes over the Mr. DNA Show, and after looking over the screen he immediately begins pushing buttons, reciting the answers.

“Cytosine, Guanine, adenine, and thymine. The same four things in everything that ever lived.” A 3-D Mr. DNA appeared on screen with a thumbs up before the computer called out.

“Test your knowledge!” Zach walked up beside him looking around grumpily as their other siblings had dispersed to their own areas.

“Hey, don’t wander off, all right? Mom’s not paying me for babysitting.”

“Mom never pays you for babysitting.” Gray said unimpressed and Zach is cut off from responding by Claire calling out to Gray.

“Gray, is that you?” She asked, smiling as she held her phone to her ear walking down the stairs. Gray and Nora hurried over grinning as they called out to her.

“Aunt Claire!” Claire rushed finishing the call as she made it to the bottom of the stairs.

“Okay, yeah. No, I’m going to have to go. My nephews and nieces are here.” She hung right as the two hugged her causing her to smile in surprise and awkwardly hug them back. “Hi!” She laughs patting their backs looking down at them. “Oh, my gosh you guys are so sweet!” She turns smiling at Alice, Simon, and Zach as they walk closer. “Whoa! Zach Simon! Last I saw you two, you were like..” She held her hand a little higher then Gray and Nora’s height causing a grin to spread on Alice’s face and Simon ruffled his hair awkwardly. “That must’ve been, what? Three, four years ago?” Zach frowned, rolling his eyes slightly.

“Ya, seven. Seven years.” He said unimpressed, causing Simon to elbow him before moving forward.

“But close, you know! It’s good to see you again, Aunt Claire, you look beautiful.” Claire smiled softly at Simon.

“Thank you Simon, you’ve both grown up handsomely. I see you already got your wrist bands! This is for food!” She said, pulling a card out and handing it to Alice with a smile. “Zara is going to be taking care of you until I’m off work tonight, okay?” Zara glanced up uninterested before returning to her phone, and Gray looked up at her upset while Nora looked at Alice in understanding.

“You’re not coming with us?” Gray asked, causing Claire to look down at him awkwardly.

“Oh, um, I really wish that I could, but tomorrow I can take you into the control room, show you behind the scenes and all of that. That’s…that's gonna be cool, right?” She asks, smiling at them before her phone rings, not noticing the disappointed and unimpressed looks she was getting. “Okay, so I will see you tonight at, uh, uh, six.” Zara didn’t look up from her phone as she responded to Claire.

“No, no, don't forget you have the…” She stopped when Claire cut her off, nodding.

“Right, of course. I will see you tonight at eight. What time do you go to sleep? Or, or, do you go to sleep at different times?” They don’t respond as her phone continues to ring and she checks it. “Okay, so, um, have fun.” Claire turns to look at Zara. “And take very good care of them.” She smiled at them before walking off through the holographic dinosaur answering the phone. “Yeah, No, I’m here.” Simon smiles tightly at Zach and Alice before pulling Gray and Nora close.

“Well let’s set off. I have it on good authority that the T-Rex will be feeding soon!” Zach snorted, tilting his head to the side.

“Who’s authority?” Simon gave him a deadpan look before rolling his eyes playful and holding up a pamphlet.

“Well as I can tell, I’m the only one who grabbed the paper that tells you everything that's happening.” He said smugly, earning a laugh from Alice who took the pamphlet walking towards the doors.

“Nice one Bub! Alright let’s set out!”

Gray was bouncing up and down trying to see over all the others at the petting zoo. Zach stood by him looking around while Alice helped Simon lift Nora up enough to see the babies.

“Zach, lift me up. I can’t see!” Gray called out tugging on his brother's hoodie sleeve. Zach made a face pulling away from him.

“I’m not Dad, and you’re not five.” Gray huffed running to a different spot to get a better look, Zach following.

“I can still ride the Triceratops, or we can go on the spinning dinosaur eggs!” Gray said, looking down when Zach tugged on his shirt.

“Nope and cover up your dork pouch.” Simon gave him a look as he lowered Nora down with Alice.

“Zach.” He said warningly but was cut off when Zach grinned looking behind him at Zara, who was arguing on the phone.

“Scatter.”

“What?” Gray asked, confused only to be pushed slightly as Zach started to run in the opposite direction of their babysitter.

“Go. Run. Go!” He urged grabbing Simon’s hand as he passed him, the others soon following, Nora giggling loudly. Simon groaned as he ran with them, not looking back.

“Zach! You know I suck at running!” Simon lamented before tugging him away from the T-Rex feeding area. “No! She overheard us talking about the T-Rex, that's the first place she’ll go!” He looked around before pulling them toward the Mosasaurus’s enclosure. “Quick, let's get in line!” Zach nodded and the two started running again, their other siblings following behind them. Simon signed leaning against Zach tiredly after they got in line. “Make me run again on this vacation and I might kill you Z.” Zach snorted, rolling his eyes as he looked over at a few girls.

“No you won’t.” He said smirking slightly looking at Simon who was acting overdramatically tired. “Stop being dramatic, Si.” Simon was going to retort but Zach’s phone went off catching all of their attention.

“Zach we said no phones.” Nora said, jabbing him in the side. Zach swatted at her, hitting her arm slightly.

“It's mom, so calm down Miss phone police.” He grumbled before answering the phone. “Hey, mom.”

“Hi mom!” Simon called out leaning against Zach more so that he could hear their mom.

“Hi, I miss you boys. Are you having fun?” Emily asked, smiling as she heard two snorts.

“Yeah, I guess. Aunt Claire gave us passes, so we don’t have to wait in line.” Alice cursed lowly earning a look from Gray. “And we are just now remembering that after standing in line for twenty minutes.” That earned a laugh from Emily until she realized that meant Claire wasn’t there.

“Wait a second, she’s not with you all?” Simon and Zach shared a look as they followed after their siblings to the very obvious ‘Skip the line’ entrance. “Boys I will talk to you later, I love you both tell Alice, Nora and Gray I love them too.” She said before the line went dead, Simon leaned away looking at the ground awkwardly.

“Uh-oh, we got Claire in trouble.” Simon said and Zach shrugged as he pulled him forward.

“Worry about that later, come on, let's watch the show.”

“The Mosasaurus was thought to have hunted near the surface of the water where it could prey on anything it could sink its teeth into.” The announcer said as she clicked a button and a great white shark was moved above the water via a mechanical hook. Gray started bouncing excitedly, shaking both Zach and Simon. Simon laughed while Zach just continued to stare at the photo of his girlfriend on his phone.

“Isn’t it illegal to kill and well, feed great white sharks?” Nora asked, leaning closer to Alice.

“Well in the states and possibly a few other countries, but we’re in Costa Rica so laws are different.”

“Okay folks, let’s see if she’s still hungry after eating already today. She’s a little shy so be nice and give her a hand when she comes out!”

Gray shook them even harder as the Mosasaurus leapt out of the water and its jaws snapped closed around the great white dragging it under the water, sending a pool of water onto the audience. Zach laughed loudly, while Simon groaned, pulling his glasses off having forgotten they were in the splash zone.

“That was so cool!” Gray cheered loudly, earning a laugh from his siblings. As the bleachers started to move downwards, showing them the Mosasaurus underwater.

“Okay, hold on tight! We’re going to give an even closer look at our Mosasaurus!” Gray turned to Zach grin never leaving.

“It has eight-eight teeth!” Zach chuckled looking at him.

“Hey, you wanna see something else cool?”

“Yes!” Nora and Gray yelled at the same time earning a laugh from all the others.

“Hey, I’m gonna skip the Gyrosphere ride. It's a two person only ride and I don’t wanna get stuck with some rando, so you four go and have fun.” Alice said with agrin as they neared the monorail that would take them. Simon looked at her worried and she simply rolled her eyes. “Don’t worry Bub, enjoy the ride and get up close and personal with some dinos! I am going to get up close and personal with all the food this card can buy me!” Zach snorted, nodding to her before steering Nora and Gray onto the monorail, Simon followed right after. Nora and Gray immediately took a seat together leaving Simon and Zach to sit together. After a while it took off, shuttling them to the ride.

Nora and Gray talked quietly in front of them about the dinosaurs they’d seen so far. Simon kept glancing at Zach out of the corner of his eye having noticed that he closed in on himself again. Simon sighed, catching Zach’s attention.

“What did I do?” He asked, trying to keep the hurt out of his voice.

“What?” Simon huffed, rolling his eyes and turning to him.

“What did I do for you to hate me!?” Zach turned to him looking shocked and slightly angry.

“I don’t hate you!” Simon let out a short bitter laugh as he glared at the ground. “What makes you think I hate you!?” Zach question not looking away from his twi,

“What didn’t, Zach?! You don’t spend time with me anymore. Half the time I try to talk to you, you either roll your eyes and walk away or you don’t even acknowledge me! You have a girlfriend that hates my guts and I don’t even know why she does! So you tell me Zach, out of all those actions, what makes you think I wouldn’t get that feeling?” Zach glared, crossing his arms and rolling his eyes at the list.

“You have no room to talk! We’re twins Simon and what was our one big rule? No secrets! And I’ve been waiting for a very long time for you to tell me this secret you’ve been keeping but its been years, and recently it's gotten even worse!” Simon freezes thinking of the only secret he hasn’t told Zach, the secret that he found easier to tell Abby who he just met this year.

“Its, that's…Zach.” Simon stuttered at a loss for words terrified to say the words he wanted to tell his brother.

“Just forget it Simon.” Zach snapped, turning and looking out the window.

Simon sighed playing with his hoodie string as he looked down at his converse.

Gray and Nora stood in between the two while they waited in line. Nora argues with Simon about her and Gray going together while Gray mutters facts to Zach.

“Did you know the soft tissue is preserved because the iron in the dinosaur’s blood generates free radicals, and those are highly reactive. So, the proteins and the cell membranes get all mixed up, and and uh…act as a natural preservative. DNA can survive for a millennia that way.” Zach didn’t even hear a word Gray said as he smiles and stares at a group of girls. “See, now, even if the amber mines dry up, they’ll still have bones to-”

“Shut up?” Zach muttered not looking away from them, Gray turned looking at the girls before turning back to him.

“What do you think’s gonna happen from you just staring at them?” He asked, ignoring that the girls burst into giggles together and that he embarrassed his brother. Zach looked at him unimpressed letting out a sigh as they got into the Gyrosphere and drove away.

“Thanks, Man.” Gray smirked slightly, turning to look at the next Gyroshpere.

“You’re welcome.”

“Yes!” Nora cheered, pulling Gray into a hug. “Si agreed that we can ride together as long as we stay on the phone with him and Z! Let's go!” Her and Gray hurried onto the Gyrosphere buckling up and Nora gave Simon and Zach a thumbs up before driving off.

“Let's go Z.” Simon said softly before stepping into their Gyrosphere.

What a Jurassic Mess

Chapter One

"And what if a dinosaur escapes?! It's hard enough knowing Claire works and lives there full time! Now we're sending all of our kids there." Emily huffed a laugh as her and Alice fit the last bag into the van. Alice simply smirked, rolling her eyes as she shut the trunk.

"I'll get the 2nd pair of twins, you try to calm worrywort."

"He worries because he cares, plus Jurassic World didn't have a good start when Hammond first brought the idea up." Emily said, shooing her oldest back into the house. She walked towards her husband, smiling and chuckling softly. "Sweetheart, relax, my sister is running Jurassic World. She wouldn't agree to take our kids there if it wasn't safe." Jack sighed looking away from her and to Simon and his friends and then Zach who was with his girlfriend.

"I know I'm just," he sighs, turning back to her "I'm worried something unplanned will happen and mess things up."

"You trust me?"

"Always, without question."

"Good, because I trust my sister. You kids will be safe and have a great time before coming back for Christmas."

"I'll only be gone till the 23rd. We're going to visit my Aunt, haven't seen her in seven years." Simon said looking at his dad with a fond smile. Nick glanced between father and son before voicing the question that had been on the tip of his tongue for a while.

"And why is your dad panicking over it?" Simon laughed ruffling his hair, as he looked back to his friends. "Let's just say if something goes wrong where Aunt Claire works and lives it'll be dangerous. He's the only one worried though, anyway I'll see you guys when I get back! Enjoy the game without me." Simon says as Gray runs up to them. He grabs Simon's hand tugging him towards the van with a bright smile.

"Come on Si! I don't want to be late!" Simon laughs, pulling his hand away and wrapping an arm around his shoulder.

"Alright alright I'm coming mini-me!" Gray huffs a laugh before pulling away and rushing back to the van. "See you guys when I get back!"

"Have fun Si! Text me if you meet any cute girls!" Nick called, causing Abby to elbow him.

"Let me know if you, well you know?" Abby said not wanting to out Simon, causing the blonde to smile.

"Be safe Si" Leah called out as he got into the van.

"Zach, come on we'll be late." Simon called out to his own twin, things had been tense between them ever since Zach started dating Veronica. Said girlfriend glared at Simon for the interruption when Zach wasn't looking, and look, he could have his moment's of Simon Logic but he knew without a doubt Veronica hated him. Simon had no clue what he did to his brother's clingy girlfriend but she hated when Zach spent time with him, and Simon would never admit it out loud but it hurt to see his twin pick her over him. He smiles nervously before moving into the seat on the right side of the van leaving the left open for Zach. Zach kissed Veronica goodbye before getting in and closing the door. Nick, Abby, and Leah stood waving goodbye, keeping a quiet obvious distance from Veronica, as the van pulled out and drove down the road.

"Don't worry Si, you and the other Musketeers will survive this separation." Jack teased looking at Simon in the rearview mirror, smirking as the eye roll he received. "And Zach you're not going off to war ya know, little less dramatics." He said shifting his gaze to Zach, who frowned looking actually upset. Emily turned around patting Zach's knee with a smile.

"I know it hurts, Sweetheart." Simon nudged Zach gently grinning at his twin trying to calm him down but just barely stopped himself from slouching when Zach glared at him.

"It'll be okay Z." He said softly trying not to let the hurt show in his eyes when Zach ignored him putting his headphones on. Simon held back a sigh and smiled at Alice who ruffled his hair. He pulled his phone out and opened gmail, he wanted to email Blue one last time before both couldn't get emails. Rather in his case checking them, Alice and Gray had teamed up together and managed to get Simon, Zach, and Nora to agree to only using phones to take pictures.

Subject: Re: Vacation + My brothers Girlfriend

Blue,

Today is the start of my somewhat epic vacation. I wont go into too much detail, I dont want to brag when I know youre going to be in the middle of nowhere, but I don't know if I'm looking forward to this or not. Lets start with reason number one:

Me and all my siblings will be leaving on a plane tonight, landing tomorrow morning and then getting on a boat that will take us to an island. Exciting? Would be if the island didnt have a bad history.

My next reason! I will be spending a week with my brother! Who used to be my closest sibling but has been pulling away from me to the point of absolute heartbreak. I havent talked about it with you because admitting it hurts even more but at this point Im convinced he hates me as much as his girlfriend does.

Third and final reason, we will be staying with our aunt, which would be cool if this wasnt our first time seeing and talking to her in seven-yes seven years.

Blue I am so nervous about this vacation. I was looking forward to it and hoping things between me and my brother would get better but Im almost positive his girlfriend turned him against me. I just wish I knew what I did to her.

Though I think the worst part of this is knowing that we wont be able to talk again until school is about to start up. I dont know what I'll do without your emails and knowing I'll have to go so long without them sucks.

Besides that I hope you have a great holiday with your dad. I know you don't celebrate Christmas but enjoy the time off it affords us.

I'll miss hearing from you,

Love, Jaques

Simon went to grab his headphones but stopped when Gray tapped his hand gently. “What's up Mini-me?” Gray smiles softly, leaning his head against the side of Simon’s seat.

“You okay?” Simon nodded, holding Gray’s hand in his. “Are you sure I know when you’re lying Si.”

“I’ll be fine, Gray. Don’t you worry, it's my job to worry about you after all. Now tell me what are you most excited about seeing?” Gray’s eyes lit up as he started on about the different dinosaurs he wanted to see.

“But I’m really, really excited to see the Mosassaurus! Though it's not really from the right era as the others, it's still so cool!! I just wish I could ask how they got its DNA, are mosquitoes able to get blood from fish? They’d have to do it really quickly, but even then the Mosassaurus would have had to be really close to shoreline at the time of it all!” Simon smiled listening to Gray ramble on about dinosaurs. ‘Zach may hate me now, but at least Gray still looks up to me.’

"I'm so jealous. You all are going to have so much fun!" Emily said ruffling Gray’s hair and kissing Simon's cheek. Gray smiled leaning back against Simon who wrapped his arms around him. "Si, everything is-"

"Yes mom. I checked all the tickets and I have mine and Gray’s. Everything is right and no one will be left behind." Emily smiled cupping his cheek before looking over to her other kids.

"I love you all. Now come on, family hug, stop groaning Zach." Emily said, dragging everyone into a hug with Jack. She let them pull away when Zach pushed out of the hug. She bit back a sigh watching Simon deflate as Zach turned away from him. "Okay, Nora, Alice has your ticket and Simon has Gray's, and Zach you have yours?" Zach was staring out the window at the planes, headphones on full blast.

"Zach!" Jack called out, grabbing his shoulder and turning him to look at Emily. He waited until Zach pulled his headphones down to speak again. "Listen to your mother." Emily smiled before addressing all the kids.

"Alright, take care of each other, and answer your phones. I'm serious, it's the green button. When you see my name, push it okay?" Alice smiled, waving her hand.

"Don't worry mom, we'll be fine." Emily sighed, unable to hide her smile.

"Alright, alright, just remember if something chases you…run" They all groaned rolling their eyes as Simon moved and placed his hands on Gray's shoulders pushing them towards their gate.

"Alright, yep! That's our que by mom bye dad." Emily laughed watching as their other kids followed her.

"Bye guys! Miss you already!"

"Bye!" They called together as Emily hugged Jack's arm watching them.

"I'm so nervous, what if they get chased?" Jack said, looking down at his wife. Emily patted his arm while watching their kids.

"Relax. Claire wont let anything happen to them."

"Did you call her?"

"Straight to voice-mail. But they'll be fine, she handles twenty-thousand people a day. She can handle our five."

As they were deboarding the plane Gray ran up to Zach grabbing his sleeve. "How big is the island?" Zach was focused on his phone as he took it off airplane mode.

"Big." Gray huffed, rolling his eyes at the answer.

"But how many pounds?"

"That doesn't make sense." Zach said walking away towards the ferry, Simon walked up wrapping an arm around Gray.

"Ya know, I bet Aunt Claire would know. We'll ask her when we see her today." Gray smiled wrapping an arm around his waist as Simon led them towards the ferry.

"I'll ask her then since Zach is still pouting over leaving his girlfriend." Simon bit back a laugh as they joined the rest of their siblings. "You know, when they first opened, they had eight species. Now they have fourteen herbivores and six carnivores. That's like fifty tons of food a week." Everyone nodded except Zach who was focused on some girl below them.

"That's pretty cool G-man." Alice said, leaning over to ruffle his hair. "I can't wait to hear all the facts you've got in that head of yours." Nora leaned over grinning.

"I can't wait to see dinosaurs!" She said getting everyone but Zach to laugh.

"You know me," Simon said, leaning against Alice. "I am going to eat my weight in oreo and reeses desserts!" Alice snorted, pulling him closer.

"I swear Bub, keep eating all those reeses and oreos and you'll put on weight." Simon blushed, pushing her away.

"I don't eat that much!" Zach turned, raising an eyebrow, giving Simon a rare smile.

"Says the person that has a secret stash of both hidden in his closet." Simon huffed pouting slightly looking at him.

"You weren't supposed to tell that secret." Simon said, biting back a sigh when Zach seemed to close off again. 'What did I say wrong?' Zach's eyes hardened as he turned away starring off at the island. Alice glared slightly, opening her mouth to say something but stopped when Simon waved his hand.

Gray ran down the ramp with a bounce in his step, Simon making sure to keep up with him, as their other siblings took their time. The park announcement system chiming in to welcome all the guests.

"Welcome to Isla Nublar, home of Jurassic World. We hope you have a safe and enjoyable stay with us."

Gray stopped staring at Zara who was holding a tablet with their last name on it. "Where's Aunt Claire?" He asked, grabbing Simon's sleeve as the others joined. Zach just gave him a sullen look while Alice sighed softly walking over to talk with Zara.

"I'm sure she just got hit with a last minute meeting. She is running the park after all." Simom said trying to cover for Claire, but Zach's snort at his lie didn't help.

"Come on guys, let's get on the monorail!" Alice called out besides Zara smiling but all of them could tell it was strained. Simon reached out grabbing Zach's sleeve and tugging him along behind them. His shoulders were losing tension as Zach didn't pull away from him.

Zach stared at the back of Simon's head, opening his mouth to say something before closing it with a sigh. He follows behind nodding to Zara when she gets them early board access to the monorail and they get front seats. He says nothing as Simon sits down next to him. Gray glances at Zara sitting behind Zach, and Nora and Alice sitting in the seats adjacent. "Si, can we share a seat." Simon turns to him smiling some tension leaving his shoulders as he scoots closer to Zach allowing Gray to sit with them. Zach huffs, noticing the Smion is barely even sitting on the seat before pulling him down. Not saying anything as he has Simon sit on his right thigh.

"Zach?" Simon says looking at him but stops when Zach looks away, Simon smiles as they sit waiting for the other guests to finish getting on.

"Alright everyone be ready for a little jolt as we begin our adventure to Jurassic World!" The monorail announcements called out as they began moving. "Okay, those of you in the front of the train should be able to see our main gate, built from the gate of the original park, over twenty years ago." Gray jumped up rushing to the front to see the gates with the others. Simon turned looking at Zach.

"This is gonna be a fun vacation!" He said trying to keep a smile on even though Zach wasn't looking.

"Mhm."

"I know we won't see much of Aunt Claire but at least all of us are here."

"Mhm."

"And it's a place Gray has been wanting to go for a while, not only that but mom and dad didn't have to pay a thing. I think that's the best part."

"Mhm, the coolest." Simon sighed glaring at the ground. He stood up pulling Zach out of his thoughts as he turned to look at his twin. "What are you-"

"The least you could do is pretend not to hate me, I don't even know what I did." Simon said, brushing away tears before turning around and walking forward to join Gray. Zach reached out to stop him but just sighed slouching back in his seat looking out the window.

"You're the one keeping secrets."

The moment the monorail stopped Gray was off running around and looking at things. Simon brushed past Zach hurrying after Gray to keep up with him. Zara followed behind them as Nora and Alice beelined towards the Escalators. Simon was herding Gray back towards the center with a soft smile. Zara looked up from her phone looking at them annoyed as Gray darted off to look at another attraction. “Your aunt arranged to meet you at one o’clock.” She missed Alice’s eyes roll as her gaze followed Gray. “Can he slow down?” Zach looked at her as Gray and Simon stepped on to the escalator, Gray waving excitedly and calling out to them.

“Come on!”

“Nope.” He said, popping the ‘p’ as he walked past her getting on the escalator.

Zara pushed the doors open to the hotel room letting the kids follow her as she continued typing on her phone. “Your aunt’s got you VIP access. So you can get on all the rides without waiting in line. We’ll head down a little before one to meet with your Aunt before you hit the park.”

Alice whistled as she looked around the hotel room before moving over to the bed that had her bag in front of it. Nora beamed as she moved over to the mini kitchen in the room as Gray rushed to the window, throwing it open to look at the park.

"Do you think I'd be able to cook in here?" Nora asked excitedly looking at what the kitchen had. Alice shared a grin with her as she pulled a camera out of her bag.

"Maybe breakfast only since I plan on trying to enjoy every restaurant they have here!" she said causing Nora to laugh and nod moving over to join Gray at the window.

Zach flopped down on the bed as he typed on his phone. Gray bounced in place smiling at Nora before rushing over to Simon and grabbing his hoodie sleeve.

“Can we go?” He asked, his eyes shining as he turned looking out the window again. Zach didn’t even look up from his phone as he responded to Gray.

“Dude she said we had to wait.” Gray huffed looking at him and rolling his eyes.

“I don’t want to wait anymore!”

Backburner Accident

One Chapter Two

Stan was used to being pushed to the back, he did his best to never take it to heart, but sometimes, sometimes it really hurt.

Like now.

Watching his two best friends drive away from their shit little home town.

He tried to rationalize and push the pain away, but he knew it wasn’t that easy. It hadn’t been easy to watch people drive away, especially since the last time he did was when Shelly left for college. It was supposed to be a quick drop off, Shelly and Sharon were going together so they could have some girl time.

“Bonding before my little girl leaves me for good.”

Stan didn’t think anything of it, he hugged his mom, got a kiss on the head and had a brief stare off with his sister before she pulled him into a hug, and really that should’ve tipped him off. Shelly and him didn’t have a huggy relationship, more of a ‘I’ll set you on fire for fun, but if someone else does their dead.’ relationship. So to hug him was out of the question, but he just chalked it up to a rare moment of sibling love.

Randy of course ruined the whole goodbye, he was not only half drunk but also extremely high. Instead of a touching father and daughter goodbye he received a kick to the balls when he told her to promote the family weed farm at every party. Stan just signed sadly before telling them to drive safely, waving them off before helping Randy into the house after the van disappeared.

He wasn’t worried until five days passed and he still hadn’t heard from his mom or sister. He called them each multiple times and even went to his dad panicking as Sharon rarely left him without answering the phone. Randy just waved him off mumbling that they were probably just partying it up. It took a couple more nights until Stan broke down and called the Purdue University’s Police departments non-emergency line. Apologizing profusely while explaining that his sister was set to start there that week but he hadn’t heard from her or their mom for over a week since they left.

The cop was very understanding and told Stan that Shelly Marsh had arrived safe. She promised they’d reach out to his sister and have her contact him. Stan thanked her profusely trying to hold back tears knowing his sister was safe. It was three days later when Shelly finally called him. Stan was mad, and wanted to scream at her but he just choked back a sob telling her how worried he’d been. Of everything he was expecting to hear it wasn't his sister sobbing softly.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry Stan. Mom isn’t coming back to South Park, she is sending Randy the divorce papers soon.”

“What about me?”

Shelly’s silence was deafening and soon Stan was crying at the realization his mom was abandoning him with Randy.

“No. No please no don’t please don’t leave me here. Shelly I-please.”

He begged sobbing into the phone as his sister started crying with him. It took a few minutes before they both were silent just sitting and listening to the other try and catch their breath.

“Why?”

“I don’t know, she wouldn’t tell me. She has a house here already, told me she’d stay here until I graduated. After a while she told me to stop asking about you.”

“I’m going to call her, and I won't stop till she answers that damn phone and tells me why.”

“Okay.”

“Keep in contact with me?”

“As if you could ever actually escape me you little turd.”

“Bye Shelly.”

“Bye Stan.”

Stan called and called Sharon until she finally answered, and he didn’t even know what to say. What do you say to your mother, that just abandoned you with your trashcan of a father.

“Stanley, this needs to stop. Stop calling me.” Sharon said the usual warmth and love that her voice held dampened. Stan huffed holding back tears and a few curse words.

“Stop calling? How about you call me and tell me you’re safe? How about you call me and tell me "’hey son sorry but I’m never coming back!’ What the hell is going on mom?”

“I think it's obvious Stanley.” Stan couldn’t hold back the sob anymore as he broke down crying.

“Don’t leave me, please don’t leave me mom I need you.” Sharon sighed on the other end of the phone, tired and disappointed causing Stan to cry more.

“Honestly Stanley, you’re too much like your father. I need to think about me, my mental health. I can't stop myself from leaving when you’re turning out to be just like your father.” Stan felt like everything froze when she uttered those words.

‘Too much like your father.’

Stuck on repeat as he tried to find the words to tell his mom that she was wrong and he was nothing like Randy.

“M-mom please..”

“No Stanley, this is it. I’m done and I’m never coming back to South Park, I left with the only kid that took after me. I’ve already signed away all my parental rights for you to your father. Goodbye Stanley.”

The line went silent and Stan was frozen, tears falling slowly and with shaking hands he quickly redialed her number only to be met with an automated message.

“The caller you are trying to reach is unavailable or has a voicemail box that is not set up, please try again later.”

Stan tried calling Sharon four more times before he gave up and just sat on his bed breaking down completely. Body wracked with sobs he couldn’t stop and he begged to wake up from this new nightmare of his. After a while Randy stood in the doorway drinking a bear and staring out the window.

“So you finally found out?”

Randy offered no words of encouragement as his son was having a breakdown; he just stood there drinking his beer and staring out the window. Stan called down after a few minutes, before he calmly stood up and grabbed his charger, shoving it in his jeans pocket. Randy’s attention finally shifted to his son who walked towards him and out the door down the stairs.

“Finally stopped crying over that bitch? Good, shouldn’t waste your time over someone that can’t see that everything I’ve done has been to better this family. Besides, we don't need her and she obviously doesn’t care, told me she wouldn’t even fight for you or the farm if I gave her an easy divorce. Bet she would’ve fought if she knew about the money I make as Lorde. God what a bitch.”

Stan balled his fist as more tears began to fall, he quickly pulled his jacket on and yanked his hat off the rack. He didn’t put it on as he opened the door and just walked out ignoring Randy calling out wondering where he was going.

The fifthteen minute walk felt like hours as he was stuck alone with his thoughts but in no time he was in front of his Aunt’s house ringing the doorbell. Thomas opened the door and only had to look at him for a second before he yelled for Aunt Laura to hurry from the kitchen. He pulled Stan into the house pulling him into a half hug rubbing his nephews back as he closed the door.

Laura hurried out of the kitchen confusion clear until she saw Stan who was crying full force again.

“Oh Stan sweetheart, what's wrong? What happened, did my stupid brother do something?”

Stan sobbed, his breathing erratic as he tried to form a sentence and only managed to stumble forward, pulling his aunt into a tight hug hiding his face on her shoulder.

“Auntie! Auntie, I-I, shes-moms.” He mumbled out shoulders shaking as he couldn’t get it out. Laura shushed him as she ran her fingers through his hair, one arm wrapped around him rubbing his back.

“It's okay, it's okay. Just breath sweetheart, just breath, I’m right here. Auntie is right here sweetheart and I’ve got you. Just let it out.”

Craig and Tricia peaked out of the kitchen looking at their parents before Craig made the decision to distract his sister.

“Come on Tricia, let's make hot chocolate for everyone. Let mom and dad take care of Stan.”

Laura led Stan over to the couch and sat down with him. She whispered words of comfort as she hugged him tightly and Thomas stood nearby worried for his young nephew and not wanting to leave them alone.

“She's not coming back, Auntie.” He whispered after a while, pulling away and sitting up to look her in the eye. “She said she's done, and I’m too much like Randy so she doesn’t, she doesn’t want me.” Laura’s heartbroke as she accepted a tissue from Thomas gently wiping Stan’s face.

“Oh sweetheart, you after nothing like my idiot brother. The only thing you share with him is your looks, I have watched both of you grow Stan. I promise you, you are nothing like him.” She cupped his face in her hands, rubbing his cheeks softly. “For one Randy is self centered and only thinks of himself, while we can all have our moment of self centeredness, you have done your best to grow past that and think of others. Second at your age my brother was already heavily drinking, and no I’m not stupid I was a teen once too, I know you drink but I also know you only drink at parties. Third Randy is, too state it clearly, fucking stupid and I have seen your report card, its not all A’s but you are very far from dumb.” Stan sniffled softly, reaching up and squeezing her hand with a watery smile.

“Thanks Auntie, it just hurts, she abandoned me with him. What am I going to do?”

“You’re going to prove her wrong, Stan. You are going to go on and graduate high school, then you’ll move on to college and you will prove Sharon that you are not Randy. You are going to live the wonderful life you deserve and she will have to suffer knowing she’ll never be a part of that life again.” Thomas moved forward placing a hand on Stan’s head ruffling his head lovingly.

“And we will be with you every step of the way, because there is no way in hell we are leaving our nephew alone with Randy of all people.” Stan laughed softly looking up at him with a soft smile.

“Thanks Uncle Thomas, I’m sorry I barged in, I just didn’t know where else to go. Uncle Jimbo might’ve known she was leaving and that thought made me not want to go to him.” Laura smiled softly as she stood up, stuffing the tissue into a pocket of her apron. Thomas wrapped an arm around his neck pulling him into a brief hug, as his wife kissed Stan’s forehead. Tricia bounced into the room carrying two cups of hot chocolate, Craig following after her looking annoyed with having to be there.

“Sweetheart, you are always welcome here no matter what. Even if you rob a bank and need a place to hide!” Thomas snorted letting go of him and accepting a hot chocolate from Craig while Tricia headed straight to her favorite cousin.

“Stan! Stan! Craig said you were feeling down so we had to make hot chocolate for you! So I made yours extra special with marshmallows and whipped cream!” She held the cup out to Stan with a bright grin that Stan returned with a warm smile. He accepted the cup before patting the spot besides him.and Tricia eagerly sat next to him.

“Thanks Tricia, this is just what I needed. Thank you too, asshole.” He teased looking at his cousin who rolled his eyes, flipping him off.

“Don’t mention it dumbass, seriously don't, can’t have people thinking I care about you.”

Backbuner Accident

Chapter One

“To Kenny! Freshly eighteen and he just won custody of our favorite little Karen!” Stan cheered with a big grin, one arm wrapped around Kenny’s shoulder pulling him closer, the other holding up a Caprisun pouch as if toasting. Karen smiled rolling her eyes as she munched on her bag of cool ranch Doritos.

“I thought I was the only Karen you knew!” Stan shrugged his grin not leaving as he let go of Kenny and ruffled her hair.

“And that's why you’re my faaavori-te!” He said dragging out the ‘a’ and emphasizing the ‘t’ she groaned pushing his hand away.

“Jeeze, did someone switch out Stan’s Caprisun with alcohol.” Kyle called out with a raised eyebrow, earning laughter from their friends. Stan gave him a fake hurt look leaning forward and placing a hand on his chest before letting out an over dramatic gasp.

“How could you Kyle? I’m simply overjoyed that the courts ruled in our favor!”

“Kenny’s favor, you mean?” Craig asked bored from his and Tweek’s spot on the big bean bag chair.

“Bah! Same thing besides, Kenny knows We’ll be helping him every step of the way! Even while he and Kyle move to Jersey.” Tweek snorted but nodded in confirmation.

“Y-ya! You know we’ll always do our best to help out! Of course I can’t really help while at the shop but I’ll help when I can, and Craig will too! Gah! Sorry! Sorry! I didn’t mean to speak for you I just meant-” Craig pulled him close placing a kiss on the top of his head.

“Yep, even though I still hate you all for stealing my money and abandoning me-”

“It was Cartman!” Kyle cried out only to get flipped off by Craig.

“Besides, I know I’m your favorite cousin!” Stan said with a grin thinking of his aunt that hated his father as much as he did. Craig flipped him off as well, rolling his eyes.

“Sorry you’re gonna be his in-law when we get married honey.” Tweek smiled slightly, shaking his head.

“It's okay, Stan’s not that bad. I’m more worried about you Uncle…GAH!! W-What do you mean married!!! Craig! We are too-too young to think about marriage!” Tweek exclaimed, grabbing Craig’s jacket, shaking him in his panic. Stan snorted, turning back to Kyle and Kenny with a grin. The two returned the smile rolling their eyes as Tweek continued to panic, and Craig’s soft insurances were drowned out.

“Besides that, you two are ready right? I know we have everything from the cellar packed up so Kenny and Karen are good to go but what about you Kyle?” Kyle shrugged signing as he thought about his mom and dad.

“Everything is good but my mom keeps trying to add more like my baby pictures.” Stan snorted as he finished his Caprisun.

“Why?” Kyle made a face taking the empty pouch and throwing it away for Stan. “Thanks man”

“Because, ‘Kyle, what if you meet a pretty Jewish lady and she asks to see them and you don’t have them prepared!’ were her exact words.” Kyle said mimicking his mom’s high pitched voice, causing Kenny and Stan to laugh.

“Dude, what did you say to her?” Stan asked as Kenny grabbed his own pouch from the table, sipping on it.

“That Kenny and I were in a gay relationship and running away together, so the baby pictures didn’t need to come.” Stan burst into laughter, which only grew louder when Kenny’s laugh caused him to spray the juice he had in his mouth all over Clyde.

“Dude what the fuck!” Clyde screeched jumping up causing more laughter from everyone.

“Sorry sorry!” Kenny said over deep breaths as he failed to stop laughing.

“This is so fucking gross, god-damnit.” Clyde complained as he stomped towards the bathroom. Scott following after him trying not to laugh, he paused patting Kenny on the back as the other began to cough slightly.

“That was fucking hilarious. So you really told her that?” Kyle nodded, grinning as he thought of what happened a few days ago.

“Looked like she was going to have an aneurysm and screamed for my dad and Ike to come down. Then I had to deal with a two hour long talk about being gay in a world like ours and to make sure I’m careful.” Stan laughed, shaking his head a clear picture of what happened playing in his mind.

“What did you dad say?”

“Oh come on Sheila, two men masturbating together isn’t gay. I do it all the time with Randy.” Stan gagged, shaking his head as he turned slightly green.

“Dude. I wish I didn’t ask, couldn’t you just say I didn’t want to know?” Kyle grabbed him by his jacket pulling close as he glared.

“If I have to live knowing that my dad masturbates with your dad. You do too Marsh.” Stan turned greener, shaking his head as he tried to lean away from his SBF.

“Nooooo”

“That's right you’re suffering with me now.”

“Well fellas I have no clue what's going on, but Wendy and I have the pizzas!” Butters announced trying to deescalate whatever he had walked in on, holding up the two boxes he had. Wendy was standing behind him with an amused smile on her face as she held two more boxes. “Oh! Bebe and Heidi are on their way!” Wendy nodded, moving around Butters and placing the pizza boxes on the table.

“Heidi’s therapy session ran a little longer than planned.” She explained before shrugging her jacket off and placing it on the couch, her hat soon following. “Where is Tolkien? Nichole for that matter too?” Kenny grinned, raising his eyebrows twice before pointing towards the ceiling.

“Upstairs in his room.” Butters looked at the ceiling curiously, tilting his head.

“Oh Hamburgers, they won’t get any pizza if they don’t come down. I’ll go get them!” Stan was quick to grab Butter’s shoulders and steer him to the couch when Clyde had been sitting.

“Nooo, don’t worry we’ll save some for them! Just relax and enjoy the party with no Cartman!” Wendy rolled her eyes at the mention.

“How did you guys keep him from finding out anyway?” Stan grinned, crossing his arms looking rather smug that his plan had worked.

“Let’s just say I put some work in and forged some fake government documents so he thinks his old friends the Jakovasaurs are out in the woods. He left at 9 a.m. according to his mom to find them.” Wendy laughed, grinning back at the thought of Cartman running out in the woods. She shook her head turning to Kyle and Kenny.

“Well, forget about that bigot, it's time to celebrate! This is after all the last party you two will be at for a while, let's enjoy it!” Kyle and Kenny grinned in return, as Wendy moved to the stereo and played her usual party playlist.

“She's right! You three literally leave tomorrow, and I wont get to see you until I graduate so lets make the most of it!” Stan said, trying to keep himself in high spirits as he hugged the two. “Let's party!” Kyle nodded, throwing an arm around Stan’s shoulder and fist bumping Kenny.

“Stan’s right, let's celebrate!”

“And thats the last box. Glad to have your friends shit out of my cellar.” Randy grumbled as he placed the last box into the UHaul Trailer. Stan glared at his dad, flipping him off when the man turned and walked back into the farm house.

“Good to know Randy will never change.” Kenny joked as he helped Karen out of the UHaul, he smiled watching her run to Stan. Stan grinned and crouched down slightly, opening his arms accepting Karen’s hug and lifting her up off the ground.

“Kare-Bear! I am going to miss you so much!” He glanced at them before fake whispering to her. “Way more than those two losers over there, but you can’t tell them you know how emotional they get.” He said earning a middle finger from Kenny and eye roll from Kyle. “You’ll make sure they stay healthy for me right?” Stan asked as he placed her back on the ground, smoothing her hair down gently. “Kyle is pretty good at it, but he’ll overwork himself, and you know your brother even better than me. Promise me you’ll threaten them when they over work?” Karen nodded, holding out her pinky finger, and Stan responded quickly wrapping his pinky around hers.”

“It's a promise! And I don’t have to worry about you! Tricia promised to keep an eye on you since you have a shit dad!” Stan gasped dramatically at her cussing causing the girl to snort and roll her eyes.

“Let me guess, her words?”

“Her words.” Karen confirmed nodding with a serious face causing Stan to laugh.

“Well I promise you I’ll take care of myself. You make sure they don’t overwork themselves, because I have no doubt they will work themselves to the bone.” Karen and him shared a conspiratorial look before they turned back to each other nodding. “I will see you as soon as I graduate.” He kissed the top of her head making a dramatic kissing noise, chucking at her annoyed groan as she tried to swat him away.

“I’ll be holding you to that Stanny.” She said before hurrying to Kenny’s truck climbing in back. Stan took a deep breath before turning to his best friends.

“This is it, the start of our plan.” He said trying to hide the fact he was upset. Kyle smiled softly, moving closer, pulling him into a hug. “ I just have to wait a little over a year to join.” Kenny smiled, joining the hug.

“Don’t worry Stan, the year will fly by in no time. Kyle and I will even keep a calendar with your graduation marked, that way we’ll be here right after.” Stan smiled, hugging the two tightly not wanting to let go. “Then we’ll leave this town and only return when someone dies in the far far future.” Kenny and Kyle pulled back sharing a grin with Stan.

“My bet is Cartman, but then again I don’t think any of us will show up for his funeral.”

“I’ll be there just to dance on his grave.” Kyle said with vindictive gleam in his eyes as he thought about it. Stan laughed rolling his eyes.

“Alright, alright, you guys need to get on the road or Kyle will be late for his orientation.” Stan was silent for a second, his smile dropping slightly. “Now don’t forget to text and call me, and keep me updated on everything even if Kyle loses his Trapper. Kyle rolled his eyes while Kenny laughed.

“We will. Take care Stan, we’ll be back for you in a year.”

Friends Born on the Ice

Chapter One

Marinette was beyond nervous, not because of the double date she had thrown herself into. No, she liked Luka and knew that he would have her back, and while Kagami was a little standoff-ish she reminded her of an old friend that was just overly shy. Although he just didn't know how to come out of his shell, it seemed to her that Kagami was placed in a shell by her mother.

No Marinette was nervous because she hadn't stepped into this in a year. Not since her break down at thirteen over the Junior GPF, she hadn't even talked to her old coach or acknowledged that she was one of France’s best junior ice skaters. Honestly nervous didn't even begin to describe her right now, but this was for Adrien, one of her best friends. She could get on that ice again. Besides, Philippe wouldn't be there right? He currently doesn't have any skaters; she was his only one in France, a pang settles in her chest as she remembers that he relocated from America to come train her. She tried to use the excuse that this was his home country and city but it didn't help too much.

Philippe was always picky on who he coached and he had sent two of his previous skaters to new coaches just to take her under his wing. Marinette wished she could change things but after her embarrassment at her first GPF she didn't think she could handle it again.

"It was really cool of you to bring Luka Marinette.” Adrien said as he moved over to sit by her. Marinette tensed before putting a nervous smile on as Adrien distracted her.

“Of course that's what friends are for!” She said before leaning down to tie her skates, so far only Luka had noticed that they were different from the rest. Marinette may have stopped skating professionally but that didn’t mean she would lower herself to use anything but her own custom fit skates.

“I don't know what to do about Kagami, should I offer her my hand?”

“You have to let her fall.”

“Huh?” “No!” Marinette quickly busied herself with her laces not paying attention to the fact she was tying them together. “What I actually meant was that you can not let her fall in anyway. Do whatever you can so she doesn’t fall, so ya, grab a hold of her hand and take her on to the ice.” She said as she stood up trying to exit the conversation that hurt her just a little. “And then-” She yelped as her laces came to tension and she started falling backwards, her only thought being that she already fell and she wasn’t even on the ice yet. Arms quickly caught her with a little ‘omp’ before she was lifted back to her feet..

“Try to be natural, go with the flow and listen to the rhythm. Just..” He paused looking at her debating what he was going to say knowing he should be following her lead but in the end knew that his words would still calm her. “Just follow my lead…” He kneeled down untying her laces before looking up under his fringe. “Come on Ma-Ma-Marinette,” He teased gently, earning a soft smile from the girl. “You know how to tie these better than me any day.” Marinette’s eyes widened before she nodded and leaned down focusing on tying them just the way she had always liked. He stood up offering his hand with a smile, if Marinette was going to try and ignore her skating history he would help her. She blinked looking at the offered hand before taking it and being helped up, both ignoring Adrien watching them as Luka pulled Marinette onto the ice. Both skating away to have their own conversation.

“You know.” She started softly as they did a lap together. “How did you know?” Luka let out a soft chuckle as he watched her from the corner of his eye.

“I won’t lie, I googled you.”

“You googled me?” Luka gave her a nervous smile with a slight blush.

“Please don’t take offense, but my sister always talked about you and all these accomplishments you had. Before I met you of course, and I just wanted to make sure she wasn’t being lied to ya know?” Luka said gently squeezing her hand really hoping this wouldn’t cause problems between the two. “And then I met you and realized that she was leaving so much out because you are even more amazing then what she described.” Marinette blushed brightly looking up at the raptors' lights. “So yes Melody, I know that before last year you were a promising junior skater, who dropped out of the skating world.” Marinette looked down at the mention remembering the year previous where she had gotten so nervous and instead of helping her a fellow skater fed into it and made Marinette’s anxiety worse. Leading to her falling into last place at her first GPF.

“I,” She stuttered on the first word, shaking her head. “I failed my first ever GPF, I was so embarrassed, all season I had been the talk of the skating world and then I just bombed everything. I couldn’t face my peers, my coach, my friends, I could barely face my parents. I left skating behind, but somehow I didn’t really.” Luka decided now was the best time to try and distract her, before she got lost in memories.

“Ya know I know my way around the ice, not as much as you but definitely enough to impress some people.” He said skating behind her and taking both her hands spinning the two up them before breaking into four consecutive spins. He skated back around her grinning as his smile formed and took her left hand in his own before releasing it and moving his arms out lifting his right leg. Marinette let out a small laugh at his goofy grin before she saw Kagami and Adrien out of the corner of her eye. Luka was quick to take both her hands pulling her forward as he skated backwards. “You okay?”

“I will be.” She said with a small smile, before panic set in as she quickly spun him around hiding her face in his back.

“Hey young man! You ever thought of ice-skating lessons?” Philippe said skating around the two of them but keeping his focus on Luka. “Judges wouldn’t be able to resist that smile of yours!” A pang set in Marinette’s heart over hearing her old coach's voice. Luka spun following him since Marinette didn’t want to be noticed.

“That’s nice of you, but my life is already filled with music.” He said, giving Philippe a polite smile. “And I might have a brand new song to write, so..”

“Music’s an important part of skating, you know? Think about it!” Marinette stopped hiding when Kagami began doing a few tricks on the ice catching Philippe’s attention.

“That was your coach?” Luka asked softly as Marinette began skating backwards, both watching Kagami and Philippe.

“Yes, still as energetic as ever. It's weird though he is super picky about his skaters, to be asking random people that don’t already have coaches isn’t like him.” Marinette said, worried, biting her bottom lip.

“Can we try something?” Luka asks, trying to distract her.

“Hm? Sure Luka whatever you wa-ANT!” Her voice raised as he lifted her and for a second her heart beat faster over the fact he could lift her, then slight anger set in at the fact that he lifted her with little experience and no one watching them for safety. “Luka, down.” She said softly and he put her down promptly before spinning her and lacing their fingers together.

“Sorry?” He said a little sheepishly knowing he had done something wrong.

“Thank you for distracting me, but lifts with no training and no coach watching are very dangerous. Promise me you won't do that again.” Marinette said worried he could hurt himself or another friend.

“I promise Marinette, I won't do it unless I get properly trained.” Luka had a soft smile on as he realized she was just worried for both their safety’s. Marinette quickly pulled him in front of her as Philippe re-appeared.

"I'll give you a week of lessons for free! Just a few hours a day and you'll both be stars!" Marinette winced as she heard desperation in his voice, pain blooming in her chest. She needed to find out what was going on after this double date, Phillipe was never desperate.

"Thanks but we're already very busy as it is." Lukas said politely, pulling Marinette away.

"I need to find out what's wrong. Philippe has never been desperate for skaters before! Oh my god I ruined his career didn't I?!"

"Marinette."

"I did! He moved to Paris for me only for me to quit after one embarrassing ending season! And because of my mess up no one wants to train under him! Oh! I should've never talked with him, I ruined his career!!" Marinette spiraled, not paying attention and tripping, causing herself to fall.

"Marinette!" Luka called out surprised.

"Are you okay?" Both Luka and Adrien asked, extending a hand to help her up. Marinette blinked, surprised, hesitating as she remembered all the days of picking herself up off the ice to go again.

"See how a few lessons can come in handy?" Philippe said skating between them and Marinette realized with a pang he didn't recognize her. "Please Adrien Agreste just put your name on this form and your fans will come running, and my ice rink will be saved!" Marinette jolted eyes widening as she let out a shaky breath, the rink closing? Philippe was losing his rink because he didn't have skaters.

"None of these young people want to sign up. You can't force them, can you?" Mayor Bourgeois said smirking and Marinette felt anger burn under her skin. The Mayor was behind this, the mayor was trying to take her rink. Her rink? This hadn't been her rink since...since the day she stopped getting up off the ice.

"You're right." Philippe said sadly skating away and Marinette watched him, guilt settling in blaming herself for leaving. Not realizing that Phillipe could have left whenever he wanted but still remained at their home rink. Kagami skated forward pulling Marinette up with a glare.

"Get up!" She pulled Marinette close, whispering harshly in the girl's ear. "The only reason you can't stay on your feet is your hesitation. I never hesitate." She leaned away grabbing Adrien’s hand. "Shall we go?" Pulling him away from the other two. Marinette looked down, thoughts running a thousand miles in her head and guilt still heavy in her heart.

"Marinette, are you okay?"

"I think I hurt myself. It's probably best we call it a day." She lied, not looking Luka in the eye before skating away.

Marinette sat down on the toilet seat holding back tears as she thought of Philippe. He looked so devastated at the mayor's words.

"Why are you so sad?" Tikki asked, watching her Chosen carefully. Marinette sighed as she twisted her fingers together as a distraction.

"It's my fault Coach Philippe is here. Before I expressed my interest in him being my coach he lived in America with two skaters he coached. He left them and America behind to train me. Last year...I failed really bad. I went from the top to the bottom so fast. I embarrassed myself, my country, and Philippe. The icing on the cake, I also like Luka but I'm so worried he is gonna be like Adrien and just be a friend."

"Marinette? Are you okay?" Adrien questions from behind the door causing Marinette to tense up.

"Ya I'm fine!" She called out, biting her lip nervously. She sat in silence before she heard Adrien yelling for her to hide. "Is that ice?" She stood on the toilet seat before pulling a box out of her bag. "Let's try our Master Fu's Magicaroon! Tikki Power up!" Tikki ate the Magicaroon before transforming herself.

"Stalac Tikki!"

Stalactites Tikki, spots on! Ha!" She transformed into her new ice themed costume. "Not bad." She whispered slightly looking down at her current skates.

Ladybug and Chat landed on the same building together surveying the area.

"Chat Noir, we need to set up a trap for whoever turned the city into a giant ice rink." She said before throwing her yo-yo.

"My feline instincts prefer to track and observe before I attack." He said crossing his arms and Ladybug tried not to deflate once she realized today was one of those days. He slid down the roof not looking at her. "You go your way. I'll go mine."

"Please don't tell me you're mad at me about the rose?" She asked, doing her best to hide the exasperation.

"There may be a certain chill between us now." He said, finally looking at her. Ladybug stopped herself from sighing as she attempted to placate her partner.

"I get it but we should really focus on saving Paris."

"We don't always have to do everything together. After all, it's not like we're a couple."

"Chat Noir don't get all pouty on me!"

Ladybug huffed in annoyance before going her own way. She had to find the Akuma and fast, because it was her fault Philippe was in this position.

At the end of the day Luka and her stood slightly hidden watching as Adrien took a picture with him to post it. "Marinette." Luka placed a hand on her back as he smiled down at her. "Can I tell you something?"

"Of course Luka." She said blushing when he grabbed both her hands holding them gently.

"I watched every video of you on the ice when I found them. Every one, even the ones of you and your Japanese friend just messing around during a joint practice. I've seen you happy before, but very rarely have I seen you reach the level of happiness you expressed on the ice. If my opinion on this is in any way important, I want you to know it. I think you should go back." Marinette was silent as she stared at Luka's eyes. Her thoughts running a thousand miles a minute before a sincere smile took place, she leaned up kissing his cheek without thinking.

"Thank you Luka." She turned away looking at Philippe with determination not noticing the blush on Luka's face. Marinette walked up to Philippe trying to hide her nervousness.

"I heard you were looking for skaters to coach." She said meeting his surprised eyes, she played either her fingers nervously until she felt Luka's hand on her shoulder. "I don't suppose you have room to forgive the skater that almost ruined your career and take her back in?" She asked nervously meeting his eyes, nerves only growing more when he didn't respond. Philippe remained silent until he pulled Marinette into a tight hug.

"Oh Mon Chéri, I have been waiting for you to come back. I will always have room for you under my training." He glanced at Luka before looking back down at his skater. "You were hiding from me? You fell and I didn't even notice! Oh Mari! I'm so sorry I was so stressed about our rink closing I ignored a fallen skater!" Philippe said as he began panicking. Luka let out a snort, which broke into more laughter as skater and coach turned to him in sync.

"I'm sorry." He said not looking a bit sorry at all. "It's just, you and Marinette panic in the exact same way. It's endearing to see how you have influenced each other." Philippe stood up, laughing loudly and the comparison, still holding Marinette close.

"Thank you, I am Philippe Moreau, I have been Marinette's coach for a few years now. It's a pleasure to meet someone she is close to." He held his hand out shaking Luka's hand. "Marinette, I will come over tonight to talk with your parents. Why don't you catch up with your friends." Marinette gasped as she turned, seeing both Adrien and Kagami’s cars gone.

"I missed him…" She said sadly, causing Luka to frown. She turned to him, her smile sad. "I hope his date with Kagami went well." Luka returned the smile as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

"Let's take the subway together." Luka waved goodbye to Philippe with her before the two were off for the subway. "Well, I gotta start working more shifts and saving up." He stated as they stepped into the subway tunnels. Marinette looked at him confused, causing him to chuckle as he made eye contact with her. "How else am I gonna be able to afford flying out to see your competitions."

"Luka…" She said surprised before letting out a happy laugh, shaking her head. "You don't have to do that." He shook his head in response, not hiding his big grin.

"Too late. I have already decided. Watching your videos was inspiring, now I have a chance to see you in person. I can't pass that up, I'll have so many new songs written by the end of your season." He said, causing a blush to cross Marinette’s cheeks as she looked away.

"Just don't break the bank trying to come see me, okay?" She reached up grabbing the hand resting on her shoulder. "Promise me that if you need help you'll come to me? I don't advertise it but my family is old money, and my commissions have taken off since I started designing for Jagged. Please let me help you." Marinette looked up at him, only to be surprised at the soft look in his eyes.

"How about this, we split? We'll fly out together for every show and save money on tickets. With your parents' permission we can share a room with two beds and keep them updated every night...what do you say Ma-Ma-Marinette?" Marinette smiled brightly, nodding at him.

"I guess you have to come over for dinner now. We have to tell my parents and Philippe our plan."

"I'll follow your lead Melody." They were silent until Luka realized something. He turned looking down at her, while Marinette stared straight ahead. "You're from old money?"

"We don't talk about it."

"Okay."

1)Tony Stark x Bruce Wayne bio dad marinette.

2)Bio dad Tony Dinozzo to marinette

3)Miraculous ladybug crossover NCIS .

4)NCIS crossover miraculous ladybug where the Dinozzo family have powers and marinette is related to the Dinozzo family but gets most of her powers from the miraculouses.

5)Bio dad Jack O'Neill to marinette

6)Bio Daniel Jackson to marinette and she's like him where she knows lots of different languages but she learns 4 different languages a year for 4 year's so she knows more languages than him.

7)Daminette where Marinette's parents don't pay attention to her from being 4 months old only giving her the necessary things that baby's need at that age and she's a genius also she's related to master fu so she knows about the miraculouses from being born. That means that she can pretty much use all of the miraculouses at once by the time she gets hers but she uses the horse miraculous to see and spend time with damian in the league of assassins. She has an Auntie that's in the league of assassins who lends marinette when she's 2 Days old and she meets damian then. They get betrothed at some point before they are 1 year old.

Oh my gosh!! Just reading these ideas has me wishing fics were already out for them!! @legodetectivemalsblog thank you for sharing these with me! I can't believe I haven't made an short fics with NCIS or Criminal Minds!!

The Story of Marinette pt 3

1-2-Here-

Masterlist

Bunnyx twirled her umbrella as they all waited on top of Le Grande Paris. Tonight was geared towards showing the Gotham vigilantes around Paris. Bunnyx and Honeywell were partnered together and wouldn’t be showing them around. Tonight they were spying on Parvona suspect, Lila Rossi. Ladybug would be showing Nightwing the streets, Chat would be taking Red Hood, Ryuko taking Batman, Viperion taking Robin, and Capall taking Red Robin. She turned eyeing them as they landed on the roof one after another. Nightwing met her eye and gave her a smile that could challenge both Ladybug and Chat’s civilian sides. Bunnyx stared at him before smirking and side eyeing the two leaders.

“Sunshine Trio.” Bunnyx whispered, causing Capall to smile as her shoulders shook with concealed laughter. Ladybug refused to acknowledge the comment while Chat pouted looking at the rabbit themed heroine. Ladybug stepped forward nodding her head to them.

“Bunnyx and Honeywell are doing some recon tonight on a possible suspect. Batman, Ryuko is going to be showing you around Paris. Nightwing, you are with me. Red Hood you are with Chaton. Red Robin you are with Capall, and Robin you are with Viperion.” Each Miraculous team member went to stand with the vigilante they’d be showing around. “Our paths will obviously cross but please focus on learning Paris’s streets. You are also welcome to stop any crimes you see happening.” Ladybug turned, nodding to the two girls. “Bunnyx, Honeywell, take flight.” The two girls nodded and soon were off, leaping across rooftops to their destination. “Everyone else, make sure to point out the areas that Amok’s most commonly rise from. Other than that permission to take flight is granted.” She turned to Nightwing, giving him a polite smile before the two took off together.

Ryuko and Batman were mostly silent as they traveled. Ladybug knew they’d do well paired together given they were the most serious in both teams. Ryuko paused utop of Collège Françoise Dupont.

“This is where the majority of Hawkmoth’s akumas came from. Parvona sometimes targets people that work here or takes advantage of the students.” Batman nodded surveying the school making a mental note to have Red Robin drag up the blueprints.

“She doesn’t target this place as much as Hawkmoth did, but she likes to target his former victims. Turning them into Amok’s of their akumatized selfs.” Ryuko said softly before beginning across the rooftops again. Only stopping when they heard a woman cry out for help and the echo of skin hitting skin. Ryuko slid to a stop immediately zeroing in on the alley way it came from. Both heroin and vigilante peered down watching as a man laid an unconscious woman on the ground. Ryuko dropped down the moment he reached for his belt, landing in front of him and blocking the woman from view. “I shall take pleasure in beating you within an inch of your life.” She growled, lashing out with her saber leaving a nasty cut on his leg. The man let out a pained yelp before dropping into a fighting stance. He charged at Ryuko throwing a right hook only to be blocked and met with a solid punch to the nose. He stumbled back letting out a few cusses looking back up only for Ryuko to charge forward. She kneed him hard in the groin causing him to double over. Then grabbed his head slamming the same knee into his nose, breaking it on contact. The man fell to the ground covering his groin as blood leaked from his nose. He struggled trying to get up only for a heavy weight to land on his back. A hard punch was delivered to the back of his head, knocking him out.

“You’ve had professional training.” He said watching as Ryuko checked the women for injuries. She simply nodded, not looking up at him. “Does the rest of your team have professional training as well?” Ryuko glanced up at him, studying the bat before shaking her head.

“Ladybug has training passed down to her from her mother. Chaton has training with a sword. Honeywell has minor self defense training. Bunnyx was training to be a professional athlete, she knows how to handle herself. Capall was extensively trained in self defense. Viperion had little to no training, until I began to teach him. I was trained in multiple forms of martial arts.” Ryuko tapped her saber on the ground allowing it to transform into a temporary smartphone and tapped into the police radio channel. “Officers this is Ryuko calling in an attempted rape. The man is subdued and knocked out, the woman is in need of medical attention.” She paused looking up and noting they were just a block away from the Dupain-Cheng’s Bakery. “We are in an alleyway a block down to the right of 12 Rue Gotlib, 21st arrondissement.” She ended the connection once it was confirmed that an officer and ambulance were on the way.

“If they are acceptable to it, myself and my boys will help train you all.” Ryuko’s head snapped to him studying the Bat once again as she stood up. Arms crossed and head held high as she thought it over.

“In exchange for what?”

“Nothing.” Batman said, looking at the young woman in front of him. “We want nothing in return for giving your team the training they need.” Ryuko continued studying him for a while before giving a brief nod.

“I will mention it to Hime-Sama.” Batman nodded, taking note of the woman’s nickname for her leader.

Ladybug was happy that she decided to take Nightwing with her. The man was a fast learner and was learning the streets as if he’d been here for years. On top of that he was just as if not more silly than her other half. He had managed to pull her softer side out in a matter of minutes, and the two were racing across the rooftops. Throwing out teasing quips and joking together as they went. “So bug-girl,” he teased softly as they paused to scan the area. “What happened to Hawkmoth, ah Gabriel Agreste was it?” Ladybug tensed hands curling into fists as she thought of her once idol. Which did not go unnoticed by Nightwing.

“Gabriel was taken outside the city when it was realized he had a protege. He is in prison for acts of terrorism and the deaths of billions.” Nightwing looked at her confused when she mentioned Deaths.

“Sorry but deaths? When we did our research there we’re no actual deaths from him recorded.” Ladybug stared out at her city, eyes hardened as she thought back on everything.

“My Miraculous cure heals all damage done by Akuma or Amok. I reversed any death he caused, the police decided to charge him with murder, because every single person that died remembered it. They all remembered every single moment, drowning, being frozen, lit on fire, lifted so high into the sky that they suffocated, beheaded and so much more. He was so far gone he had killed his son before Nightwing, killed him multiple times. Just to bring back his wife, who’s soul had already left.” Nightwing grabbed her hand giving it a comforting squeeze as he placed his hand on her cheek turning her to look at him.

“Ladybug, I am going to do everything in my ability to help you and your family. Nobody should have to go through what you all have with the little amount of guidance and training you were given.” Ladybug shifted slightly, looking away a bit embarrassed, but she squeezed his hand back in response.

“Thank you Nightwing.” Ladybug said sincerely as Nightwing gave her a gentle smile. He pulled his hand off her cheek ruffling her hair gently causing her to swat at him with her free hand. “Alright Alright!” She said, jumping back and pointing a finger at his chest. “Enough with the big brother routine! You’ve got four brothers to use it on!” She said teasingly before starting off across the rooftops again, heading to her parents bakery. She knew they left some cookies out for the team tonight. Nightwing caught up effortlessly grinning at her.

“I don’t know.” He said teasingly, looking her up and down before flipping onto a fire escape quickly making his way up, while she used her yo-yo. “Black hair, check. Pretty eyes, check. Rough childhood, check. Ability to hold your own against us in a fight, check. Need to protect your city, check. All you need is parents that had either past on or aren’t there for you, trust me B would adopt you in literal seconds.” Nightwing said jokingly, knowing full well that his dad had thought of it, not just with Ladybug, but with little Miss Dupain-Cheng. “Heck, I'm pretty sure he has adoption papers in his utility belt! Not just any adoption papers though they are bat-doption papers!” His joke got a small smile from Ladybug but her mind drifted to her parents. She knew they loved her, without a doubt, but ever since her expulsion incident they’d been distant. She turned, giving Nightwing a tired smile as she landed on her old balcony.

“My parents love me.” She said softly as she picked up the bag of cookies opening up her yo-yo. “I’ve just,” she paused thinking about it as she scanned the cookies allowing them to be temporarily held within the yo-yo. “I’ve disappointed them.” She thought back on the incident all those years ago. Things were never the same, they never really trusted her completely afterward. Even when Lila said she had a ‘Lying Disease’, her parents always popped in while she was doing homework. Whenever a big test would come up she had to give them her backpack everyday until the test, they even had the principal check her locker. All to make sure she wasn’t cheating. “Come on, we still have things you need to be shown.” She said jumping from the balcony to the next building, Nightwing followed only stopping when they came across two police cars and an ambulance. “Everything okay here?” She asked, looking at the police officer, said the officer looked up, grinning.

“It’s all under control Ladybug, Ryuko and Batman, Batman!” The guy said with a laugh shaking his head. “Put a stop to it right away, the guy is going away, and the woman is safe.” Ladybug nodded, giving the officer a smile before saluting him.

“Alright, Bugout!” She said and soon both her and Nightwing were jumping across rooftops again.

“So is this like what you guys do nightly?” Red Hood asked as they stood watching the skyline. Chat had already shown him a good majority of Paris and both decided to take a break. Chat shook his head as he twirled his condensed baton in one hand.

“All of us being out like this is rare. We have a patrol schedule for the nights and mid-day, since we started as day heroes. Only two of us go out on patrol at a time usually, Ladybug and I tend to be the mid-day heroes more often than not, we started this and seeing us out during the day brings a bit more relief. We also have more flexible jobs compared to the others. Ladybug being out last night was rare, there was something important she couldn’t miss. Viperion and her switched patrols.”

Red Hood raised an unseen eyebrow as he remembered the attack from the day before. Turning to the Selina Knock-off as he’d been calling the younger boy in his head.

“Hold up, Ryuko was out last night with Ladybug. Yet we saw her fighting the freaky-whatchamacallit thing.” Chat snorted covering his mouth to hide his grin as his shoulders shook. Red Hood grinned in response, watching the young man have a laugh at his expense.

“Amok,” Chat said softly, eyes sparkling as he looked up at Hood. “Yes, Ryuko did go. She was closest to the Amok and was able to slip away from civilians easily, Viperion had finished patrol half an hour before. He unfortunately was visiting his mom, slipping away was not easy.” Red Hood nodded as he leaned against the railing crossing his arms. Thinking over different things to talk about settling with just small talk in the end.

“So Mr. Flexible job, what is your job then?” Chat Noir grinned leaning on the railing with him staring off into the city of love.

“Un-Fur-Tunately I have a feline that’s a tail for another day.” Red Hood stood stock still before shaking his head and literally throwing himself over the railing.

“Nope.” He called out loud enough for the laughing cat themed hero to hear, and begin his way around Paris. Chat caught up minutes later, his grin showing off his sharpened canines.

“Now, now my puns aren’t that paw-full my Fur-end.”

“Oh my fucking god, we found another Nightwing. That dresses like Catwomen.”

“Oooh~! A Cat mom? When do I meet her~?”

Red Hood thought for a moment before realizing that Selina would definitely join in with the cat puns.

“Never. Absolutely Never. Fuck no. Ain’t gonna happen.”

Capall gave a small smile when she heard Chaton’s familiar laugh echo through the streets. Red Robin followed closely behind her as she pointed out areas of interest. The bird caught up running besides her diligently, impressing the horse themed hero. Given that her power dealt with transportation it gave her a much larger burst of speed. Compared to her teammates, it was just a slight advantage. To someone without powers it was substantial, and that thought made the red head a bit guilty. She slowed her pace by quite a bit and didn’t miss the relief on the third bird's face.

“You were the one that set up the security system.” Red Robin said as they jumped to a building, he caught the ledge lifting himself up. Before offering his hand to his current partner, Capall took his hand allowing him to help her up the rest of the way.

“Yes.” She said softly thinking over the system that took her so much time. It was nothing compared to what Max could do, but she was proud of it. “It isn’t the best, but given I am self taught I thought it was good enough. It’s just for show really, our home is very well protected without it. I originally put it in for the time that we did not have wards around it.” Red shook his head giving her a polite smile as they headed towards Le Grand Paris.

“No, it is actually quite impressive. I am the fastest hacker in the family, to keep me out for five minutes, you actually gave me a challenge! Not to mention you have it connected flawlessly to Paris’s system and they don’t even know!” He said finally able to voice what he’d been thinking about the night before. “I was hoping, you don’t have to obviously, if you would walk me through how you built it?” Capall came to a stop, turning to study the man she was working with. Red Robin paused, staring back as he watched her search him, making a mental note in the back of his head. She’s been trained by someone in law enforcement. Capall was not stupid, this was her second meeting with this hero, and only time she’d actually talked to him. She wouldn’t be able to see ‘underneath the underneath’ as her father always said. She could get a lot from how he carried himself, just as he could from her. For instance, He knows that I’m building his character profile, and he knows that I know that he knows. She also knew that he came from money, the way he carried himself screamed rich kid. Capall knew how a rich kid walked and talked, after all her best friend’s grew up with the title ‘Daddy’s money’ or ‘Mommy’s money’ in Kagami’s case. She however saw no falsities in him, he genuinely wanted to know how she built their security. Capall nodded as she looked away from him and at Le Grand Paris in the short distance.

“I will show you tonight how I made it.” She said, causing the vigilante to smile. “However we have to continue on if we wish to get it done in enough time. I’ll even tell you about our underground drive and secret exit”

“Underground drive, secret exit? Okay I’ll bite how did you convince the contractors and subcontractors to stay silent.” Capall grinned as she ran to the edge of the building turning around to look at him.

“Magic.” She said before laughing at his unimpressed look, she knew he didn’t believe her. She let herself fall backwards, her hands grabbing onto a flag pole and spinning once before dropping into a flyaway and landing on the lowered building. Red Robin looked down at her in surprise, causing the red head to smirk. “Come on now, I don’t want you holding me up, little bird.” Red narrowed his eyes before jumping down after her.

Viperion and Robin’s trip was mostly silent, only speaking when pointing out high interest places. Viperion didn’t mind however, the silence gave him more time to study Robin’s song. It was a beautiful mixture, but a sad one. He was happy the man had found his place with his family, especially with the pain he had experienced at his birth. It definitely didn’t escape Viperion’s attention that his song would flow beautifully intertwined with Ladybug’s. Which meant they’d be much closer with this family than they thought. Viperion would wait to tell his siblings however, just as he had waited to tell them their own songs blended together in familial bonds. It had been a lovely surprise and this, well this would just entertain him. He wanted to see how his Ma-Ma-Marinette would handle this crush, although this bird would definitely be more than just a crush.

“Why did Ladybug get so tight lipped over Dupain-Cheng.” Robin said, Viperion could tell it wasn’t a question, it was a demand.

“Why must you know?” Viperion responded to him with a question hiding his small smirk when his partner's song rose in volume. What? He enjoyed teasing people and so did his siblings and going off Robin’s song, so did his.

“Answer the question.” Robin gritted out glaring at the hero's back. Viperion turned his head, allowing Robin to see his profile from the side.

“It wasn't a question.” He stated softly before jumping down onto a building and taking a brief glance down. Looking at where his mother had her houseboat currently parked along the Seine. He was quick to jump down to the bridge in front of it continuing across to the other side of Paris. “Attempting to force answers out of us will not help Robin. We will share almost everything, not sharing information about Marinette will not put yours or your families lives in danger.” Robin glared at his back as they returned to the rooftops. “We were simply giving warning, if Marinette sees your family's Kevlar body armor, she may actually kill you. Then bring you back and completely redo your outfits, for free.” He said with amusement clear in his voice, he glanced at the bird with a calm smile on his face. “Although Marinette would not change it completely she’d keep aspects like color and similar style. Though she’d definitely mute Robin’s colors just a bit.”

“Very well, I shall drop questions about Dupain-Cheng. Ryuko, does she know how to use the saber she carries.” Viperion smirked already knowing what his girlfriend’s reaction would be to Robin’s question.

“She would run you through with it if you insinuated her to be untrained. Ryuko has been trained from birth to wield a saber, she broke off from her Mother’s future for her and is living her life free. I have no doubt she will take over the family business though, like all of us, she has also held back to remain in Paris.” Viperion grimaced as he thought about how much they had all sacrificed. “Until Parvona is defeated, we are tied to Paris.” Robin glanced at him briefly before he used his grappling hook to reach the next building while Viperion jumped. He went to run forward and jump to the next when he realized Viperion had stopped along the edge of the building looking down into the alleyway. He looked at Robin holding a finger to his mouth, and grabbed the lyre off his back. He ran his finger gently over the strings and instead of noise a screen-like surface appeared above them, he quickly began typing on it. Before looking up at Robin, with a small smile. “Ladybug and Nightwing are on their way here.”

“Why?” Robin voiced, raising an eyebrow crossing his arms. Viperion looked back down prompting Robin to finally look into the alleyway. Two young teens sat curled together huddling for warmth, it was clear they were homeless.

“Paris doesn’t have a large homeless population, and the ones they do have they try to hide. The team does our best to help where we can.” Viperon’s voice held a sad note in it as he sat on the edge, Robin remained standing. Ten minutes later Ladybug landed with Nightwing right behind her. Said bird went over to his brother, smiling bright as they communicated silently, Ladybug and Viperion ignored them as she flipped her yo-yo open. Soon a soft red light illuminated from her yo-yo and the bag of cookies appeared.

“I’ll talk with them, and tell them where to go.” Ladybug said softly before using her yo-yo to drop down into the alleyway.

“So she is giving them cookies?” Robin said unimpressed, ignoring the look Nightwing sent him. Viperion chuckled as he watched listening to the two’s melodies begin to resonate with Ladybug’s.

“Well, yes but she is also doing much more than that.” Viperion said with a hum smiling and giving the youngest teen a two finger wave when he looked up, his big sister was still focused on Ladybug. “Ladybug is building up their trust, and telling them of safe places to stay. The team has many safe houses spread across the city, for us and others. Five of them have been designated for those in need. She is going to give them a key to the one closest to us currently. Then she is going to give them a phone number to call.” Nightwing raised an eyebrow looking down at the three before going back to Viperion.

“And that number would be connected to?” He questioned causing Viperion to chuckle in amusement. He didn’t respond; instead he used the silence to listen to Robin and Nightwing’s songs together. They created a beautiful piece that screamed a strong bond built on hard times and held tight together with trust and love. He listened for a while longer before deciding to answer.

“Connected to someone willing to help. Of course, they won’t call right away. They may not even go to the house, it is hard for street kids to trust.” Viperion smiled when Ladybug called out her signature goodbye returning to the rooftop. “All well?” Ladybug smiled nodding as she walked over.

“It is Parker and his sister Jean, I have seen them before. Jean has agreed to go to the safe house for the night. She is unsure about calling for help, so that may take some time.” Viperion nodded, smile gentle as he watched the two siblings leave the alleyway. Ladybug turned smiling at Nightwing and Robin. “Ready to set out again, Nightwing?”

“I’m ready to fly, Bug.” He said with a bright smile and the two nodded before taking off across the rooftops together in a clear race. Viperion smiled watching them go, their songs slowly leaving with them. A short while later Robin and Viperion took to the rooftops again.

Bunnyx and Honeywell sat together watching Lila and their old classmates. Nothing interesting was happening and it was really making them start to doubt that Lila was anything more than a wolf leading sheep to their last meal. A subpar meal at that. Bunnyx spun her umbrella slowly with one hand the other on her com listening into the conversation. “Hmm she just promised Max a meeting with the Wayne family.” Bunnyx told Honeywell causing the women to snort and shake her head. “I think this is a bust Honeywell.” Bunnyx sighed sitting down on the ledge of the building. “They are just talking about Lila helping them meet people and Lila’s trips. We have no proof that she is Parvona and I don’t think we’ll get any this way.” Bunnyx was silent as they sat together before Honeywell turned to her with wide eyes.

“You’re right, we won’t get any this way, but we would get it Marinette’s way.” Bunnyx stared back before jumping up and pulling Honeywell with her.

“You genius!! We have to hurry back to base!” She said before taking off towards their home. Honeywell huffed before taking off after her neither noticing their old classmates watching and taking pictures. Soon Alya would be accusing them of stalking poor Lila, who recently broke off her friendship with Ladybug.

Capall landed in a practically hidden alleyway, smirking as Red Robin joined her. She grabbed her horseshoe, tracing it with a single finger and prompting a screen to appear. Red’s eyes widened as he paid closer attention to her strange weapon. A few moments later the road opened up in front of them, showing a hidden road. “This leads to our underground parking garage. Of course I can’t let you in.” She said, swiping on her screen to close it. “Seeing our cars could give away our identities.” Red Robin frowned, opening his mouth to deny it only to be cut off. “Now, now pretty bird,” Capall said, launching herself into the trees crouching on a tree branch and turning to look back at him. “You and I both know that you’d look at the license plates.” Red Robin gave a small grin before nodding and joining her in the trees.

“We’ll find out eventually you know?” He said as they jumped dodging branches. Capall shook her head, smirking as she didn't look back at him. Wanting to keep her eyes on the branches.

“That’s the thing Red. Our miraculous trick everyone, when you look at us and then see our civilian selfs you won’t be able to make the connection. Unless you already know that we are a holder.” Red Robin’s grin didn’t fade as they landed in the courtyard. He turned to her one hand on his hip as he spoke.

“It’s that a challenge, Capall?” He returned her smirk walking towards her. “After all, if I managed to find Batman, Nightwing, and Robin’s identities I think I can find yours.” Capall laughed, placing a hand on his chest and pushing him back slightly looking at his masked eyes.

“Alright fine, Challenge decreed. Find out our Identities before I find your family’s, winner chooses their prize.”

“Challenge accepted.”

“Mistress Capall, Mister Red Robin, I must insist you two come inside. Your family’s are waiting and your food is getting cold. Hurry up now.” Capall jumped blushing slightly before nodding and looking down, not meeting Butler Jean’s eyes. “Come along now.”

“Yes, yes. Sorry Papy J.” She said softly walking inside with Red Robin following her. “Everyone is back?”

“Yes.” Butler Jean led them to the Miraculous Team’s ops room. “Bunnyx and Honeywell have an idea on how to get more information on Lila Rossi. Although from the sounds of it, I don’t believe it is legal.” Capall snorted, shaking her head as they walked through the doors. Bunnyx smirked, rushing over to Capall and grabbing her hands, pulling the girl into a spin. Capall let out a short burst of laughter giving her friend a soft grin. The rabbit themed hero let her go before throwing her hands up and letting out a cheer. The batfamily watched confused on what was going on, all eyes turning to Ladybug. Who was just as confused as them.

"Bunnyx." Ladybug called out to the hyperactive women. "Will you please calm down and explain?" Bunnyx took a deep breath grin never fading, as they locked eyes.

"I know how we can find out if Lila Rossi is Parvona." Honeywell rubbed her eyes before placing her head on the table not looking at anyone. She knew Ladybug would be slightly upset at the idea, especially as she stopped her little stalking habit. "You're not gonna like it though." Bunnyx let out a little laugh as she thought of her Leader's reaction. "Someone will have to go back to their roots!" Ladybug reeled back confused thinking over what Bunnyz was referring to. "We need to know Lila's life inside out and there is only one person I know that's able to get every little detail of another person without them even knowing." Bunnyx said, staring straight at Ladybug. "We need Stalker-nette." Ladybug groaned covering her face.

"You're right I don't like this."
