Marinette was... irritated, so to speak, with Mlle. Bustier.
The woman had once again invalidated her feelings for Chloe. Chloe, who was being particularly mean to her, because she was jealous that Marinette had a soulmate, but she didn't.
Chloe had - as always - thrown a tantrum because Marinette had achieved a better grade than she in the test and didn’t shut up for a second until that moment.
Marinette's head was throbbing with the start of a monstrous headache.
“But Mlle. Bustier!” The blonde whined. "I'm sure Dupain-Cheng cheated!" The high-pitched voice resonated through the windowpanes and hurt the students' eardrums.
"Chloe, please." Mlle. Bustier asked, frowning, probably as irritated as the rest of the students.
Chloe snorted indignantly. "Then I will tell my-"
That was when Marinette felt the comforting presence at her side. Catching the movement with a quick look before she turned around completely so she could look at him better.
The skin kissed by the sun, black hair and short. He dressed like the shinobis she saw in the action movies that papa let her watch when mama wasn't around. Sitting in the chair that was previously available, there was an air of danger around him.
But what caught her attention most were his eyes. His eyes that matched hers perfectly, and he was beautiful.
"Thank you." He replied, his cheeks turning a shy pink.
Marinette squeaked, her hands rising automatically to cover her mouth, drawing the attention of Nino and Kim sitting across from her.
"Are you okay, MDC?" Kim asked.
She shook her head frantically. "If you say..." Nino replied suspiciously.
Marinette took her hands from her mouth to smile at them and so the two turned their attention to the interrupted conversation.
She looked at him again, feeling overwhelmed by the flood of information that hit her.
The world around them changing rapidly.
"Wow." Marinette sighs.
She looked at the breathtaking landscape.
The place they were in looked like a big Asian-style mansion on top of a mountain. She could see the clouds from the floor she was on and how the sun reflected against the rocks around the building.
It was breathtaking.
"I agree with you." He says, his eyes glued to her.
A commotion attracts Marinette's attention.
Underneath where they were, she could see other people - Ghuls - in the same type of black clothes as he was, training with katanas and their face covered.
The League of Assassins. Heir. Batman. Damian.
"Oh." She turns to look at him again. An unknown feeling burning in her chest and a lump stuck in her throat.
Her eyes start to burn, a sob escaping without her permission. "I-" Tears clouded her vision, wanting to-
He- Damian, spread his arms, an intelligible expression on his face and a guilty glint in his eyes.
She didn't hesitate for a second before jumping into his arms.
Finally. Finally, she was able to touch, see, smell him, melt against the heat of his body, unite with him.
"I'm so happy." She sniffs against his neck. “I've been so worried about you! Always hurting yourself and- the pains I felt coming from you...!”
Damian tightens his arms around her.
"I'm fine, ya rouhi (my soul)." He responds smoothly.
Marinette violently denies it. "No, you're not!"
“I am- now I am. You don't have to worry anymore.” Damian whispers against her shoulder.
She smiles at the choice of words, her heart warming more and more. It was like the sky, like she was floating with clouds. She never wanted it to end.
“Mlle. Bustier, Maritrash is being scary!” Chloe's voice frightens Marinette and she moves away from Damian back to the classroom, where everyone is looking at her strangely.
Chloe wags her finger at her, tapping her foot on the floor.
"She's talking strange and smiling like a lunatic!"
Beside Marinette, Damian snorts angrily. "She's just annoying."
"I know. Most of the time I just ignore her, you know? Like a persistent fly.” The girl responds, an acid touch in the words.
Chloe gasps, knowing that Marinette was talking about her.
“Mlle. Bustier!” She whimpers.
The teacher sighs tiredly with Chloe's tantrums and the way Marinette was dealing with it. She, better than anyone, knew that it was not right to disrupt others because she was frustrated.
"Marinette, apologize to Chloe." Bustier asks. "You were rude with your words."
The girl looks at the teacher in disbelief and Chloe smiles convinced.
"But I didn't do anything!" She complains. "Chloe who's being stupid again!"
Everyone in the classroom chokes on Marinette's words. Chloe starts to cry and Bustier gets up from her seat scandalized.
"Marinette Dupain-Cheng!" She slaps her hand on the table. "Apologize right now or I will be forced to call your parents at school!" Threatened.
Most of Marinette's classmates were unable to notice the change in the girl's appearance or how her posture had hardened. Not even the change in the girl's eye color was noticed.
Only Kim, Nino - who were sitting closest to her -, Sabrina who knew Marinette and Mlle. Bustier, who, despite everything, was very observant.
'Marinette' leaned back against the back of the seat, her lips pressed in a thin line, her eyes - both green, but with different hues - cold as ice and her hair had darkened to a glossy black.
"I hope that this attitude will be taken not only towards me, but with the annoying girl as well." She says.
"Annoying girl?" Chloe mutters incredulously.
"Why would I do that?" Mlle. Bustier replies. "The only person I see being rude is you."
Marinette throws her head back and laughs sarcastically before looking back at the teacher. The face as hard as stone.
"That was a good joke, mademoiselle." She stands up, arms crossed behind her. "That-" She stops as if she's hearing something. “Chloe, right. She has been distracting everyone since you started class. Making meaningless complaints or just whining and so far, I haven't seen you scold her for it.”
Mlle. Bustier swallows.
"B-But-"
“No ‘buts’!” Marinette cuts the woman. "It gets special treatment just for being the daughter of politician, is it?"
Chloe tosses her hair over her shoulders, arms crossed. “My father is the new mayor of Paris. Mayor! He rules everything, so do I!”
Marinette makes an 'hm' sound without opening her mouth, looking critically from Chloe to Bustier - who had a greenish tinge to her face -.
"It will be something to tell the parents of Dupont students, then." There is a dangerous edge to the girl's tone. "Imagine the scandal that will be when the word comes out that the mayor of Paris and his daughter, has power over the way the school is run"
Marinette smiled and went down the stairs towards Chloe.
Mlle. Bustier sighs at the sweet girl's behavior. Understanding coming to her.
"You are not Marinette." She says.
The girl smiles, an evil look in her eyes.
"Bingo!" She claps excitedly. “I thought you were more stupid. I was sincerely concerned about the school education that habibit is receiving.”
The students made protest sounds with the girl's harsh words, but the look she sent them made everyone freeze in their seats quickly shutting up.
"Who are you-" Chloe fumbles, shocked by the color of Marinette's eyes.
"I think you'd better be quiet, Bourgeois." Non-Marinette says. "Otherwise, you will discover one of the many ways I know how to cut a person's tongue." She makes mimics a scissor with her fingers, without taking her eyes off Chloe.
The blonde's eyes widen in fright.
“Or who knows, one day you may wake up bald... There are many options on the table. I can even let you choose.” Non-Marinette taps her finger against her chin thoughtfully.
Chloe walks away. Hands quickly going to the head, trying to protect the hair away from Marinette.
"I-I don't feel well." Mumbles, picking up the yellow bag from the table. "I think I'm going to go home... Daddy will call dismissing me... Bye!" She doesn't wait for Mlle Bustier's response before running out of the classroom.
Non-Mari smiled beatifically, enjoying the whole scene of the girl's escape and staying until Chloe was out of sight. Then the expression darkened when her attention turned to Bustier.
"You and I are going to have a very serious conversation now."
And Mlle. Bustier swallows, feeling threatened by the girl's words.

Marinette Protection Squad
Summary: Marinette thought that her classmates would have her back. After all, she always had theirs. But, apparently, their “everyday Ladybug” just wasn’t as interesting as the stories Lila tells. Fortunately for her, Luka and his friends think otherwise.
Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3 || Part 4 [HERE]
“Bullying! Me! Can you believe it?” Marinette seethed. Any cool bravado that she had in front of the girls was completely drained and all that stood in its place was rage.
“I try to warn them that she’s a liar and help them before anything bad happens and I’m the bully? Are you kidding me?!”
“They are idiots and they don’t deserve you.” It didn’t help that Carmen, ever the emotional sponge, fed and fed off of Marinette’s anger. The two girls ranted angrily - well, Marinette ranted, Carmen just encouraged her - at each other while Luka, Sam and Elaine offered silent support until Marinette let out her frustrations.
“No, they don’t!”
“You should start a riot!”
“I should start a riot!”
Marinette glared at the floor for a couple of seconds before sighing. “I’m sorry.”
“What’re you apologizing for?” Sam asked incredulously, gently rubbing Marinette’s back, which was accepted graciously.
“For getting so worked up, I shouldn’t have yelled like that.”
“Darling,” Elaine started, “there is absolutely nothing to be sorry about. You have every right to feel these emotions.”
“But what if I was akumatized!”
“Sweetie, if an akuma had the audacity to show its wings around here while you were releasing your frustrations, I would have personally caught it and send it back to Hawkmoth with a promise of immeasurable pain should he try that again.”
The statement was made with so much conviction that Marinette had no choice but to believe that that was exactly what would have happened.
“She’s right, though.” Sam interjected. “You needed that outlet and there’s no shame in being angry.”
“Right now your heart and mind are like...” Luka said before playing an angry, sour chord on his guitar. “You can’t keep that bottled up like that. It isn’t healthy. These people shouldn’t be putting unnecessary pressure on you like that.”
“But, Juleka was one of those people.” Marinette pointed out before her eyes widened. “Oh, my gosh, I badmouthed Juleka! I’m so sorry Luka!”
She groaned and buried her face in her hands.
“I can’t do anything right!”
“None of that.” Sam scolded, lighting poking her sides, causing her to jump and glare at him.
“He’s right, I love my sister, and I usually side with her on these things,” Luka admitted, “but that’s usually because she’s in the right. Not this time.”
He placed his hands on Marinette’s shoulders and she slowly looked up at him.
“I’ll talk to her later when I get home. Maybe I’ll be able to get through to her.”
“No, don’t.” Marinette sighed. “I don’t want to get between you two.”
“It won’t. Don’t worry.”
“Now, let’s go eat something!” Carmen said abruptly. She threw herself onto Sam’s back and locked her arms and legs around him. “Onward, steed!”
Marinette giggled at the exasperated look on Sam’s face as he gripped her legs and started running towards the bakery. Elaine’s frantic shouts to “Be careful, you idiots!” were largely ignored as she chased after them. Marinette felt an arm around her shoulders and looked up to see Luka smiling gently at her.
“Shall we?”
She smiled brightly and allowed herself to be moved in the direction that the others were running towards. Everything was going to be okay.
