The Strike of a Villainess

Chapter 2: Let’s Play

Prologue, Chapter 1, Chapter 2(here), Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6, Chapter 7

His husky breath warmed her neck as he wrapped his arms around Lillian, a sigh of relief as he saw no injuries on her body.

“Timmy?” Lillian’s angelic voice calmed down his nerves, his grip loosening.

“L..Lily. Don’t EVER do that again.” She could feel tears stain her white blouse. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pushing him into her shoulder.

The scene faded black, with the words “Good Ending” flashing onto the screen. Marinette tossed her phone towards a cushion near the bed, squealing as she hugged her pillow. As it turns out, that game wasn’t nearly as “uninteresting” as she had initially thought. Of course it wouldn’t be, she remembered half way through that Alya had recommended it to her once, a time ago! And, no matter how much the girl couldn’t face the truth right in front of her, her taste in games was impeccable!

When she had just started playing, she began with Jonathan Kent’s route, superboy. His sunshine smiles, his ocean blue eyes, the awkward stutters, ah! He was so adorable! He was like Adrien, a handsome dork, a beautiful knight in shining armor! It had made her heart ache a bit at first, but his tangents on comics and anime made her heart flutter. He was just so cute!

Her next route was on the precious boy’s best friend’s(Damian Wayne, as she soon learned) eldest brother, Dick. The name had made her hesitant first, wondering if it was some dirty joke. But his puns reminded her of her partner, Chat. He was quick to make her laugh and made her think of fond memories of her Chaton. But unlike her cat in black leather, the man was more mature, experienced. He knew when to not push her, but knew when she needed support.

Marinette lost herself in the game, smiling to herself. Most of the characters reminded her of the people in her life, but some were completely different from the people in her life. Like Damian, an arrogant young master. At the beginning, she had thought he was like Felix, which made her groan, but she quickly learned otherwise. While she hadn’t played his route just yet, since it costs coins, he had saved her in other routes from certain unsavory characters. He rescued her in Tim’s route where she was kidnapped by the joker, and saved her again and again in Jason’s route. Not to mention she caught him snuggled with a cat, while reading a book, as she was exploring the manor. It made her giggle, and she had to put down her phone for a few minutes.

That five minute break quickly became four hours, her frequently pausing to freak out and blush. She was this close to trying to marry the developers for making this beautiful masterpiece.

Checking how many coins she had, it was just barely enough to buy Damian’s route. She bit her lip, wondering if she should buy it. It would cost all the coins she got, but - Marinette looked back at Damian’s profile, his green eyes baring into her soul, it would be worth it.

She took a deep breath as she purchased the route. Her heart beating after a fictional character. Why did fictional men have to be so handsome?!

“Master?” Marinette whipped her head towards Wayzz, putting her phone down as if just remembering she wasn’t a giggling teenage fangirl.

“Ah, sorry Wayzz. I got distracted,” Marinette glanced at her phone, disappointed. A heavy feeling surrounded her heart. “Let’s get to work.”

Marinette stood up quickly, causing her to lose balance. She crashed into her floor, swearing as she felt pain in her ankle.

“Master!” Wayzz rushed towards the girl, unsure of how to help.

“I’m okay Wayzz, just took a tumble is all! I’ll be fine.” Marinette smiled at the kwami, but the pain in her ankle felt unbearable.

“Why don’t you take a bit longer, master? Paris can wait an hour or two.” The kwami looked down at her.

“You know what, I, uh, I’ll do just that!” Marinette failed to stand, instead being forced to climb up her bed. She stared at her phone, wondering if she should just play the route. It should be fine to spoil herself when in pain.

Ignoring her throbbing ankle, she pressed “start”.

A blinding white light poured into the room from her phone. Marinette squinted, covering her eyes with her hand.

“Master!”

“Wayzz!”

Notes: Hi! Sorry for the delay, I just couldn’t figure out how to get to the white light part but I did it! This chapter probably sounds rough/rushed because honestly I just want to start writing the next chapter already. I have tons of ideas for it, and this chapter was technically supposed to be apart of chapter 1. Anyways, I do hope y’all enjoyed reading! I can’t wait to write the next chapter!!!
