Wish Me Away: Hold Me Close & Hold Me Near
Beginning              Last Chapter
Summary:
*waves* Hi
Bruce muses on his new life despite it only being a couple days since the family welcomed Marietta into it.
Nothing could have prepared Bruce for life with a baby, two days had passed and it felt like his life had been completely flipped on its head. She required a lot of attention and physical affection. The attention he had no problem with, it was the physical affection he was terrified of. Marietta was such a tiny little thing, she was so fragile that Bruce was so scared that the slightest wrong move from him could hurt her. Yet, sometimes the physical affection came so easily to him, so easily he felt like he was robbed of this time he could have had with Damian and found himself wishing Talia had told him about his son sooner. When she smiled up at him when he tried to feed her, it was almost instinctual to give her a kiss on the head, or when she babbled and held out a hand to him, he was compelled to coo and let her grab at his fingers. Hugging her is what scared him most, she was so small, so warm, and he had never understood what all those people said about the smell of a baby but he got it, and hugging her brought him such a feeling of joy and love that he couldn’t even put it into words. Bruce just felt scared of hugging her too tight because of all the new feelings of love that filled him. 
Once she had fallen asleep her first night in the Manor, at her new home, he had been entirely too frightened to sleep in his large bed with her, but he and the boys made a pretty sturdy wall of pillows all around her as he stayed up to study. He bought parenting books, so many parenting books, from baby meal cookbooks, to psychology. He wanted to know anything and everything he had to about taking care of a one year old. And from the many boxes that arrived at the house he deduced he wasn’t the only one. The manor now looked like a bomb went off in it, one that filled the place with bassinets, diapers, baby food and snacks and so many freaking toys. Most of which came surprisingly from Alfred, Bruce had wanted to laugh but Alfred had basically said he had no room to talk. He was right. Bruce had kind of gone overboard when buying her clothes, it’s not fair that tiny versions of clothes were so cute and apparently brought him more joy than his own. 
Cassandra had helped him choose a lot of the clothing as well, it warmed his heart the way she immediately took to being an older sister. The way she held Marietta and the way she hugged her was something that Bruce loved to see, because he could tell just how precious the baby was to Cass. He had many pictures on his phone of the two twirling in the dance room he had built for Cass. It was wonderful and Cass looked at Marietta with so much love, the excitement in her eyes was plain to see as well, though so was the fear, Bruce expected it was much like his own but something stronger. Cass feared hurting her new sister much the same way that Damian was, but whereas Cass spent as much time with Marietta as she could, it seemed like Damian was avoiding the baby. It didn’t take the ‘world’s greatest detective’ to figure out that Damian was frustrated at no longer being the youngest. Bruce wasn’t worried though, when Damian did interact with Marietta, he saw how gentle the boy was with her, even if he scolded her for drooling on him or not paying attention to what he was saying. He tended to hold her and tell her about their siblings and why they annoyed him that day, or classmates, or even just random people that he had a rough interaction with. It was an odd thing to bond over but Bruce was just happy Damian was trying. 
Tim adored her as well, he read all the books Bruce bought and all the ones he himself bought. Within a night, the Manor had been baby-proofed and monitors had been added everywhere. It was like he was waiting to be a doting older brother, Bruce of course knew he and Damian got off the wrong foot and were better but he also knew they would never be as close as Tim and Dick, Tim and Jason or Dick and Damian. It was like a worse Jason and Dick situation when they were younger, both bitter for different reasons and both took it out on one another. There was no doubt in Bruce’s mind that both Tim and Damian loved each other, it was just a strained kind of love. Tim took her everywhere with him if he could, as did Jason, both bought baby carriers to strap to themselves and it was hard not to laugh when Bruce realized they had bought a Red Robin carrier and a Red Hood carrier respectively. Tim liked to take her down to the cave and work on whatever case he was trying to solve or tinker with whatever tech he and Lucius Fox were working on. He said he liked asking her questions and hearing her babble like she was giving feedback. Of course Alfred and Bruce made sure the boy baby-proofed the cave as well and made sure she had her own activities to do besides giving her older brother feedback on his projects. To the surprise of no one, Tim even set her up a little play-pen in the Cave, which maybe wasn’t the best thing but it still tugged at Bruce’s heartstrings to see. 
Jason loved Marietta. It was honestly amazing to see just how fast the man adjusted to being a doting big brother. Of course Bruce already knew Jason was great with kids and with his younger siblings but it was another thing to witness it, especially with someone as young as Marietta. Jason loved to feed her which was always an interesting thing to witness, but boy was he good at it, she never complained when he fed her. He also read to her everyday even if he couldn’t be there physically, he would video-call, though his reading choices varied from the Well Loved Tales books he scored at a garage sale to classics he had in his room or brought from his apartment. It was entertaining to watch him read things like Cinderella to her and then go from that to reading her Pride and Prejudice. He made sure to get books with pictures for her and if they didn’t have pictures he would show her pictures he found on the internet to show her who he thought a character looked like, or an object in one of his classic books that he couldn’t describe. It was awfully endearing and Bruce and Alfred made sure to take as many pictures of the two as they could. Nap times they would often find the two together with Jason sprawled out on a couch, the floor, a chaise or bed with Marietta snuggled on his chest. It was those times that Bruce envied Jason. 
Dick was also one that adjusted to having another younger sibling surprisingly fast, even if said younger sibling was younger than any of them have dealt with before. He never complained about changing her diaper, he just laughed and said they would have to get on top of potty training but only when she felt like it. He was incredibly gentle with her and patient and tried his best to help Damian get more comfortable with her. He was also the one who could get her to stop crying the fastest out of all of them, well second to Alfred. It was impressive, and yet it was another thing that Bruce found himself jealous of. He was the parent and he felt like he should be able to soothe her cries easily, but the truth was, he had no idea what he was doing. Sure, he had a lot of children, but he had not had any of them when they were babies, this was a whole different playing field and it hurt him that he wasn’t excelling at it. Of course, Bruce wanted to be the best father he could be, and he would admit that he, like his children, wanted to be Marietta’s favorite person. Both Dick and Jason would put her in the middle of them and coo at her and see who she would waddle or crawl too, they said it was a competition to see who her favorite was but most of the time she just laughed at them and would end up falling back on her bottom if she was standing. Damian found this highly amusing every time it happened and Bruce suspected so did Alfred. 
Duke was a little like Babs in the sense that he adored Marietta, but she made him nervous. He never held her long unless he was sitting down because he feared dropping her, if she was asleep that fear tripled because he said she was just dead-weight and would fall no problem. Though, he liked working on his homework with her and telling her about school. Sometimes he brought out her crayons and coloring books but that was rare since Marietta hadn’t yet grasped the concept that the canyons were only for her coloring books. Alfred lectured all of them about watching her during ‘coloring time’ after she found out that crayons work just as good on walls as they did on paper. Though Duke was nervous around her, Marietta always managed to get him to relax around her after enough time passed and the boy would play games with her, though the games mainly consisted of peek-a-boo and making silly faces at her. She loved it though and it seemed like no one could make her laugh more than Duke and his silly faces. Every time he made her laugh or giggle, Duke looked like he had just won an award or something and would give her the brightest smile in response. Of course he and Alfred had many videos and pictures of the two already. 
Babs hadn’t met little Marietta face to face yet but she had seen the little one over the Batcave’s computer and she had looked smitten. She also promised to visit them soon, probably within the week which was great. Alfred had been wanting the young woman to visit the Manor more often, so her visit was more than welcome. Especially since it seemed like Marietta took a shine to her, even if it was just over video. Babs took to face-calling whoever she knew was in the Manor so she could see Marietta and hear her babble at her nonsensically with some actual words thrown in here and there. Though she hadn’t met the little one properly, Babs did send gifts that she ordered online and she sent everyone books on childcare. Bruce didn’t have the heart to tell her he had already bought the book she had got for him, he had just thanked her and used the new copy to take notes in. She seemed excited to hold Marietta and Bruce could honestly say he understood that feeling now, before he hadn’t, not really, but now it was like all he wanted to do was hold his daughter and show her to everyone. Thank goodness he had such good self-restraint. They, as a family, decided they wouldn’t go public with Marietta until Selina came back from Central City; she was setting up another animal shelter/rescue center after the success of the one in Gotham, then the one in Metropolis. This was her baby, her project, she was very hands on with everything that came with the business. Bruce felt so proud of her and he was also extremely happy his influence was good for something like this. When it got out that Bruce Wayne was investing in the Kyle Animal Rescue & Shelter Centers, many of Gotham’s elite followed. Though she wouldn’t admit it, he knew that Selina was grateful.
Stephanie had the habit of carrying Marietta everywhere she went when she was at the Manor, which considering the baby had only been there for about two days, meant Steph had been there everyday now. When she walked into a room and saw Marietta she would scoop her up and give the little one a shower of kisses which resulted in the most delightful giggles. Though Steph also had the habit of just…sniffing Marietta, when they asked her about it she just shrugged and said she loved the smell of babies. Which, fair, but she did it so obviously and made such a spectacle of sniffing the newest Wayne that you couldn’t help but laugh. It always made Marietta laugh as well so it was a welcome habit. Steph was also someone who liked feeding Marietta which Bruce could not understand as it was a time that he saw his baby daughter be truly stubborn, worthy of the Wayne name, which was something his mother would tease him with whenever he was stubborn. But like Jason, Steph could get the baby to eat whatever Alfred served for their meals. She said she liked to see the faces Marietta made when eating and she just liked to see just how messy the baby could get. Which was, astoundingly, a lot. She had many baths that she thankfully enjoyed. 
Damian was complicated. There were moments he seemed to crave Marietta’s attention and other’s where he would avoid her altogether if he could. From what Tim, Alfred and the books told him, Damian felt ‘threatened’ as he was no longer the ‘baby’ of the family. The wording was ridiculous but maybe fitting for the situation. Damian was a child who adored having Bruce’s attention and Dick’s attention the most, though he would sooner play nice with all the kids at Brentwood Academy than admit it. When he held her, he no longer held her like a bomb about to go off, but he cradled her like one wrong touch and he’d break her. There were times that Bruce had walked past a room to see Damian hugging the little one to him with his eyes closed and hands shaking, it always felt wrong to intrude so Bruce would just continue to walk past. The boy also introduced his younger sister to all his animals, even Goliath who lived in the Wayne Farm. Damian built his own underground Cave beneath the farm to hide Goliath if the need arose, he called it the Underground BatFarm after Dick called it that once. So they all just referred to it as the BatFarm. Damian had simultaneously been overjoyed and annoyed that all his animal friends seemed to take a shine to the newest addition to the family. 
Alfred was in love. Plain and simple. He doted on the baby so much that Bruce often wondered if the Butler/Grandpa/Adopted Dad ever did that to him when his parents introduced the two when he was born. He always served her food first at meals, he gave her treats when he thought no one was looking and if the boys weren’t around he took to carrying Marietta in his own carrier. It was always quite the sight when Alfred would walk into a room with a baby strapped to his chest. Though in a weird way, Bruce was getting used to it. What he couldn’t get used to just yet were the tiny creatures that called themselves Kwami. They stuck around Marietta like glue. They never left her alone, not even when she slept. It was very disconcerting to wake up and see two creatures sleeping on the pillow next to you  first thing in the morning. Even if a family member was just going to change her diaper real quick, they followed. Their import on cheese increased an unhealthy amount and really Bruce had no way how they would explain those finances away if anyone bothered to look. At least Alfred usually baked biscuits. So there was no shortage of Tikki. Plagg was insatiable. 
Even now, Bruce watched as the little black cat Kwami absolutely inhaled a wheel of brie. “You keep eating like that and we’ll run out of cheese before you know it.”
“Eh, you’re rich.”
Jason’s cackle was welcome but also Bruce felt like this was a serious matter so he did not appreciate being laughed at. “It’s true, Bruce. You are a very~ rich man.”
“That doesn’t mean that Plagg should demolish our entire cheese supply and have us order more in less than a week. It could be considered suspicious and we are trying to lay low.” He reasoned.
“I mean, it could be suspicious, or people think you’re on some weird new cheese diet and you accidentally start a trend again.” Tim piped up from his position on the floor where he kept pressing buttons on one of Mari’s toys which made her coo from her spot on her mat. 
“Oh man, please not another ‘Bruce Wayne Original Trend.’ The amount of people I saw wearing their shirts backwards in Blüdhaven after his last ‘trend,’ is more than enough for me.” Dick complained from where he was laying on the floor tossing one of Marietta’s toy balls up and down.
“Father was very tired that day.” Damian defended, he was sketching something from his favorite spot in the windowsill. They were all relaxing in his office despite the fact he told them he had paperwork to do. “Though he should have had more decorum and noticed his mistake.”
So much for defending him.
“You humans are so weird with your clothes.” Plagg sighed loudly.
“You act like we never wore clothing once upon a time, Plagg.” Tikki teased.
That had Tim’s attention. He loved learning more about the beings that came as an added…bonus with their newest Wayne. “You guys wore clothes?”
“Well, duh! We weren’t always this adorable you know?” Plagg replied.
“Wait. You guys really weren’t always this itty-bitty?” Jason asked. 
“We did mention we were basically revered as Gods in the past. Can you see these forms being worshipped?” Tikki fired back. When she got no reply, she looked unbelievably smug. “Before we were bound to the Miraculi, we tended to use a more human-like form. Hence the clothing. Though even that form was not our true form.”
“It’s been ages since we got to be in our true forms.” Plagg said wistfully. 
“What are your true forms?” Tim asked with a twinkle in his eye.
Tikki chuckled softly. “They are…well, they are hard to explain. But it is because the ‘First Guardian-”
“The ‘Betrayer’!” Plagg interrupted with a shout.
“He saw our true forms, and I guess that’s what pushed him to create the ritual that bound us. He called us monsters. Creatures living amongst man. Honestly he just raved at us how he couldn’t believe that we tried to take advantage of the folk who worshipped us and that he was doing them a favor by binding us.” Tikki explained.
“Crazy loon.” Plagg scoffed. 
Bruce shared eye contact with all his sons who looked just as disturbed at the information as him. Their true forms scared a man so deeply that he went to such lengths. He felt bad for the Kwami but he also could understand the man’s need for protection even if it was unwarranted. Bruce was always prepared, no matter the circumstances, but now it felt like he would never truly be prepared with the Kwami living with his family. They were truly neutral beings, and it was interesting to have them in the Manor,  but when he and Jason got into another argument about the no-killing rule, Plagg and Tikki had looked at him like he was the wrong one. Or more accurately, like they couldn’t understand why he was arguing about it with his son. It was an issue, but not more so than the two beings announcing their plans about Paris.
“So today’s the day.” Jason brought up as casually as he could, which wasn’t as casual as the young man would have liked. 
Plagg nodded. “It is.” 
Bruce sighed.
“Oh Bruce, I know how you feel about it, but really it isn’t your place to tell us we can’t spread Karma across Paris. It has already been enacted and They have given their permission to all of us Kwami of the Miracle Box of Fortune & Fate.” Tikki explained once more, she wasn’t being condescending and yet Bruce still felt like she was. 
“And I told you, I don’t understand that.”
“You don’t have to understand it. Just let it be.” She replied.
“Or better yet ignore it.” Plagg gave his two-cents. 
“I can’t just ignore it. You told us you will be going to Paris to punish them!” He argued as softly as he could, not wanting to disturb Marietta who was still distracted by her noisy shiny toy. 
“Not all, only those who deserve it and though Paris will no longer be protected by us, it doesn’t mean forever but they need to know. Which is why the announcement is also needed.” She argued back, though she didn’t even look affected by his words and that made his hackles rise more. 
“Look. I know your whole ‘job’ is ‘justice,’ and that’s great.” Plagg interjected. “But justice is up to the interpreter and this, Karma, that’s our justice. That’s how we deal with offenses and crimes against us. You don’t have to understand it, but for your sake and Marietta’s sake, don’t try to stop us or talk us out of it anymore.”
“Are you threatening me?” Bruce growled which made Marietta whine.
“Bruce.” Alfred warned. “Calm yourself. You’re scaring the baby.”
Bruce cleared his throat and looked over at his daughter who was looking at him with her big doe-eyes filled with tears. “I’m sorry Baby, nothing’s wrong. We’re just talking Sweetheart.” 
“Master Bruce, I understand your feelings on the matter but at the end of the day this is their business and if you ever feel the need, I’m sure Paris would appreciate vigilante help if they ever need it.” Alfred said as he set down some tea for Bruce on his desk. And like every time Alfred was the voice of reason, Bruce felt the fight leave him. 
“I apologize.” He said after a while.
“Sooooo, how are you going to make the announcement if you guys can’t be caught on camera?” Dick asked to break the tension. 
“They have kindly lent me some of their power and my old power so I can retain my old human form.” Tikki explained. “If the announcement goes on longer than I can hold the form then Trixx can cast an illusion of my human form. Before the announcement though we will be going and giving out Karma to a select few.”
“I thought you were…uh, doing the Karma thing after the whole announcement.” Jason said.
“Oh, we are, but there are a couple of people who will get their Karma before the announcement.” Plagg said with a smile that shouldn’t look so frightening on such a tiny face and yet it was. 
Quiet covered the family yet again until Damian spoke up from his spot, “Well, happy hunting.”
The two smiles shared between the Kwami somehow dwarfed the one Plagg had made just before and Bruce felt a shiver run down his spine. He sent a silent prayer out for Paris. 
               _____________________________________
Gabriel sat at his place at the head of the table and watched as his wife talked with Adrien and for the first time in a long time he felt completely at ease. His heart still raced when he acknowledged the fact he had no idea where Nathalie was and he didn’t know what to say when Emilie asked him where she was. Right now she believed that Nathalie was visiting her sister but the truth was he had no idea and it scared him. After The Wish, she and Dupain-Cheng disappeared without a trace. He didn’t understand where they were and his son’s complaints and worry over the girl were getting on his nerves. Neither had their Miraculous so Adrien complained about not being to check on her the ‘Chat Noir’ way, they figured that was their price for The Wish. Though it saddened him, Gabriel was willing to leave the Miraculous behind in exchange for his wife who was a bit different now that she was back but he just chalked it up to her being confused at being awake once more. 
He impulsively reached out and took her hand in his. Emilie gave him a small smile back in return and he tried his best not to frown. She should be happier, she was finally reunited with her husband, he would think she would be overjoyed. “Adrien. I…called your school and told them you won’t be there today. We will be spending the day as a family.”
“Okay Father.” Adrien responded promptly. 
Emilie looked as though she was going to respond but before she did the doors to the dining room blew open, they nearly came off the hinges. All three family members turned to look in shock and just to see what or who came through in such a fashion. Gabriel opened his mouth to shout at the insolence of it all but his voice caught in his throat when he saw four very familiar Kwami fly in. He tried to get out of his seat but found he couldn’t and from the looks of it, neither could Adrien or Emilie. It made Gabriel struggle against whatever bound him to his seat more. He tried to yell, to shout, but found he had no voice at the moment. Emilie looked so scared and there was nothing he could do about it. The Kwami flew until they were all floating above the middle of the table so all three Agrestes could see them. The red one, Tikki glared at Gabriel so fiercely that if looks could kill, he was sure he would be six-feet deep at the moment. 
“Hello Gabriel. Let’s talk.”

Magic Induced Face Blindness
For Bio Dad! Bruce Wayne Month, Prompt: Take Your Kid To Work ao3 @maribat-bdbwm
The Justice League, simply put, was having a take your kid to work day. Less simply, they were holding an event for all the teenage superheroes. So not exactly a take your kid to work day but there weren’t exactly a large number who weren’t proteges of the Justice League.
Naturally, Ladybug had been invited.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng Wayne has not stopped freaking out about it since.
And not freaking out about it in the Chat Noir way, who’s been so excited that it’s all he talks about on patrol. Freaking out as in lying face down on her floor and cursing her family. Well, mostly her dad.
“Tikki, do you think if I fake cough in front of Chat Noir a few times and tell him I’m too sick to make it he’ll believe me.”
The kwami hums from where she’s settled in Marinette’s hair. “He’ll probably believe you if you’re convincing enough but is that really necessary? What’s the worst that could happen?”
Marinette scoffs. Really, Tikki should know better than to ask such a question. “I’ll walk into the watch tower and someone will immediately figure me out.”
In her one year of being Ladybug, Marinette has learnt that even her sweet kwami does not have infinite patience and Tikki’s exasperation is obvious in her tone when she says, “Marinette. Your identity is protected with magic.”
“The JL has magic users. And I’ve known most of these people most of my life. What if one of the idiots say something so dumb and I insult them and they figure it out and then Chat Noir knows my identity causing the end of the world.”
“Don’t insult them then.”
She scoffs again, “I can’t not insult them. When have you ever not insulted Plagg?”
The ensuing silence speaks for itself but Tikki doesn’t let it go. “You should go. It’ll be good to talk to heroes other than Chat Noir and temporary holders.”
She groans. Maybe if she lies here long enough the carpet will swallow her up and then Tikki can stop trying to convince her to go. “I have most of their numbers, I can talk to them whenever I want. I do talk to them whenever I want.”
The weight on her head vanishes and she feels a poke on her forehead. Lifting her head up, she glares at the tiny goddess of luck, who glares right back. “That’s not what I meant and you know it. None of them know you’re Ladybug.”
She drops her back down to the floor and sighs. “Fine. I’ll go.”
.oOo.
Wonder Woman waves them over when she sees them enter. As the two of them make their way through the crowd, Ladybug keeps her eyes on the floor while Chat Noir’s head swivels around trying to take it all in. What an odd pair they must make.
“Robin looks like an angry kitten,” her partner comments, breaking her out her reverie.
She coughs to hide her laughter. He’s right, of course. But regardless she turns to look at Damian, who’s sulking in the corner while Jon pesters him.
She grins, “I’d kill to watch you tell him that.”
He glances at her and snorts, “Not a chance. Not with that expression on your face.”
She blinks at him, “What expression?”
“The same one you had before you threw me off the Eiffel Tower for going on about the Justice League heroes.”
She smiles at the memory, “You totally deserved it.”
He holds a hand  up to his chest, as dramatic as always, “Meowch!”
She giggles. Diana is only few steps away from them now and is looking at them with an amused expression. Smiling comes slightly easier now, a chunk of her anxiety taken away by her partner’s antics. She whispers a thanks to him before greeting Wonder Woman.
.oOo.
If Diana suspects anything, she doesn’t mention it, nor do any of the others they talk to. But they haven’t had the chance to talk to any of the bats yet. At least Dick and Jay aren’t here, they’d be the most unbearable.
“We should talk to Batgirl,” Chat Noir suggests.
Marinette freezes, magic or not Cass would be the most likely to see through her but she can’t think of a valid excuse and he’d already picked up on her earlier nervousness. If she continues being paranoid, he might start to suspect something.
“Sure,” she mutters.
He waves enthusiastically to Batgirl who offers a small smile. Her gaze lingers on Ladybug and Marinette desperately hopes Cass brushes off anything odd as general nervousness. Thankfully, Chat Noir carries much of their interaction.
He’s gesturing wildly when he accidentally hits her sister’s arm. The arm that Marinette knows was in a cast until last week. Cass doesn’t wince, of course she doesn’t but the concern bursts out of Marinette anyway. “Is your arm ok??”
Chat Noir looks confused but Batgirl is assessing her. It’s a moment before she says, “I’m fine.”
Marinette nods, simultaneously relieved and panicked. She should’ve stayed home. It’s not too late to fake sickness, after all she has been acting particularly odd. When Spoiler calls Batgirl away, Ladybug visibly relaxes. Chat Noir gives her an odd look but he doesn’t say anything. Yet. She’s sure by the time they finish talking to her entire family, he’s going to think she’s lost her mind.
.oOo.
She’s mostly calmed down after her slip up with Cass when they somehow end up talking to Jon and Damian. Well, it’s not exactly talking as much as Robin and Chat Noir antagonising each other. Jon looks torn between interrupting and watching it play out. Marinette on the other hand wishes she had a bucket of popcorn and a valid reason to record their exchange.
When Damian calls the Parisian superhero, “a mangy alley cat,” Marinette snorts out loud and says, “I thought you liked cats?”
Damian stares at her, she can see his hand inching towards his katana as he asks, “How would you know that?”
Play it cool, Marinette.
She shrugs, “You just seem like a cat person. Also, I vaguely remember reading something of the kind on twitter once.”
Both of them know most things about the Bats on social media are deleted almost as soon as Oracle can get to it but people still do see them. He relaxes slightly but Marinette knows he’s wary of her.
Really, why did she let Tikki talk her into this?
.oOo.
Sometime later, Bart finds her in a corner. She’d left Chat Noir saying she needed a break and she could see him as he was talking excitedly with Steph.
“Heydoyoumindansweringaquestionforustosettleanargument?” he asks pointing at the rest of what was once Young Justice (or rather the still active members). Holding back a smile, she considers it for a moment. How wrong could it go? Actually, knowing them any thing and everything that could go wrong would go wrong but her curiosity takes over. Tim’s friends have the most amusing arguments after all.
Bart is bouncing back and forth, waiting for her answer. When, she agrees, he cheers and drags her over to their little group. He doesn’t question how she caught what he was saying instantly or how she’s totally fine even after being carted off with super speed regardless of the distance.
Thankfully, Tim is too busy arguing with Kon to notice.
“I have a solution,” Bart announces, “We ask Ladybug to be the tie breaker.”
And because when they’re together they tend to act on a single functioning braincell, all four of them turn to her at once and Cassie asks, “Do you think having several backup fake identities is necessary?”
Ah, not a new argument then. Honestly, she does. She’s suddenly even more grateful that Chat Noir isn’t with her. “I mean you do need something to fall back on if your go to identity is accused of art theft.”
Tim doesn’t have time to register the jab at him before Kon and Cassie start to rejoice loudly and Marinette slips away before they can drag her into their next argument.
.oOo.
Back in her room, after the event, Marinette sighs. “Well, that was interesting.” Her conversations with the others had gone perfectly well. It was extremely likely that Chat Noir wouldn’t dwell on her mistakes with Batgirl and Robin, and he hadn’t been there when she spoke to Tim. Regardless, she’s never doing that again. Chat Noir can go alone.
Her phone rings and she answers the video call to see a bunch of worried faces.
“Is something wrong?”
“You need to look into Ladybug,” her father states. 
She frowns, “Why?”
“It’s possible Ladybug knows our identities and is a threat.”
Her jaw drops, “What?” 
Marinette remains in semi shock throughout Tim’s explanation. He ends with, “If you need help any of us would be glad to come.”
“Dibs on helping Nettie!” Steph calls finally snapping Marinette out of her shock. Damn, Tikki had been right about the magic. World’s greatest detectives and this was the conclusion they came to?
She glances at Tikki once, making sure she has the kwami’s support in this decision. When Tikki nods Marinette let’s herself laugh at the absurdity of the situation.
It also ends the argument ongoing on the other end of the call. All of them stare at her in confusion until she finishes laughing. Once she’s finally calmed down she asks, “ A room full of detectives and that’s the best you come up with?”
Her father frowns, “Marinette, what-”
“Did it not occur to any of you that I’m Ladybug?”
She bursts into laughter at their startled expressions. Hurrying to take a screenshot and making sure to send it to Babs.
She is so going to lord this over them for at least the next few years.

Signal, Joke, Epic Fail, Dare
Maribat March - Prompts 2, 7, 12, 13
~
He couldn't believe they were doing this. Running around Gotham in uniform, attempting to escape punishment. Now, Duke wasn't a coward by any means, but sometimes, when your insane siblings rope you into pranking THE Justice League, you had to… retreat for a bit in order to figure out how to escape THE Batman (who also happens to be your parental guardian).
See, Dick thought that Bruce's various pups could use some bonding, and unfortunately, the only thing they all had in common is chaos. And that chaos led to the decision of pranking the Justice League. As they all had clearance to the zeta tube as past Robins (and Batgirls), when the JL goes to see who did it, they'd come up with an army of Robins. So, they gathered toilet paper, Silly String and eggs. Tim and Babs tag-teamed the JL servers and put 'Never Gonna Give You Up' on loop on all the screens. Damian snuck through the vents, replacing all the training weaponry with foam ones and releasing rats he'd found (Dick wasn't too keen on that idea seeing as they were Gotham rats, but Damian was participating! He couldn't tell him no… besides, they're superheroes, if they let a couple of mutated rats defeat them, then it was just sad). Dick had helped the others with their ideas, while Cass stood watch.
Duke was slightly more hesitant than his brethren, it is the Justice League after all, but then they ganged up on him with a double-dog dare, and he wound up helping Jason, Stephanie and Marinette desecrate the Watchtower halls.
They managed to complete their individual tasks without anyone noticing, thanks to the fact that it was Guy on monitor duty, snoring like a freight train. (He wound up with a dick drawn on his face, it was too perfect.)
The next day, B was coming back from an off-world mission, and Duke was getting more and more nervous with every passing minute. He'd had fun while they were doing it, but as Bruce got closer and closer to home, his anxiety sent him into over-thinking over-drive. It didn't help that everyone who'd participated had fled to their individual hideaways, probably for several days, except for Damian - as he lives in the Manor and is quite proud of the prank and unafraid of punishment - and Marinette who was freaking out just as much as Duke was.
They were working out their nervousness in a spar, attempting to quiet their minds. They'd been doing quite well too, until the zeta announced Batman's arrival.
"Alfred." His gruff voice filled the cavern, freezing Duke and Marinette in their boots. "Gather everyone, and I mean everyone."
They shared a look before taking off as fast as they could. Marinette made it out before he did, not having to put her outfit on piece by piece, but he still made it in record time.
Of course, he ran right into Bruce himself, making eye contact for a brief moment before he got on his bike and escaping as soon as he could. He knew the Bat glare was scary, but having it trained on him for the first time made him wonder if their little joke was actually a success. He was going to kill Dick when it was safe to come out of hiding.

The inspiration stick abandoned me for a while, but it came back and walloped me over the head :)

A Blue Bird and a Black Cat pt 15
(Selina decides that Marinette would be better as the Cat than Adrien. Five years, later Dick is very confused about this Lady Noire)
ao3 Beginning Previous
Daisy wiped down the last table with a flick of her wrist and a small smile. All in all, she had a good life. She had a decent job. Her alters were getting along. She had good friends. What did she have to complain about? Life was good and…
“It’s happening again,” Batgirl was hovering over on the edges of their mind watching the flashing lights emanating from the building across the street.
“Can’t we just ignore them?” Marven whimpered.
“Marinette said she would look into it,” Daisy agreed.
“Marinette is busy,” Batgirl said. “Besides it will be good to give her more information.”
“This is bad, bad, bad, bad,” Marvel whimpered and he curled deeper into their mind, as if he could hide away from the world.
“Batgirl,” Daisy said firmly, which was new for her, “We have to listen to Marinette. She’s the one who actually knows what she’s doing, besides look what this is doing to Marvin!”
Batgirl sighed. This was new, for all of them. Originally, Jessica would have been the one to put their foot down, but ever since they tried integrating, Daisy had stepped up to fill the role. It was refreshing for Daisy, to be able to stand up for herself for once, to be a bit freer with her emotions. She had always been the happy go lucky alter, keeping them looking on the bright side of life. Now she could be forthright, and honest. She could stand up for herself even with the other alters. It gave her a surge of confidence, that had her singing a cheery tune through the rest of her shift.
In fact, she was so at ease that she barely noticed the fact that she was sliding back into her mind, and Batgirl was taking control, until they were crossing the street towards the cult’s basement. “Woah wait, Batgirl!” Daisy hissed. “We said we weren’t going to investigate!”
“I just want to see what they’re doing,” Batgirl insisted. “Besides, this will help Marinette. She’s so busy right now, and this will just take one thing off of her plate. Especially if it turns out to be nothing.”
“This is bad,” Marvin muttered. “Walk away! Walk away!”
Daisy groaned and went to comfort Marvin from where he was rocking himself in the recesses of their shared mind. She glared at Batgirl and said, “If we get hurt for this it will be your fault, and I am not covering for you with Marinette.”
Batgirl paused at that then shook her head. “I just want to peak. Then we’ll go straight home.”
She moved quietly through the street. She knew better to actually sneak around like they do in the movies. Pressing herself against the building, shirking in the shadows. She would only draw more attention to herself doing that. So as calmly and as quietly as she could, Batgirl pulled off her coat and then huddled into the corner of the stairs and the basement window, and draped her coat over herself as if she was bedding down for the night. Under the shadow of the coat she held up her phone, recording everything she saw and heard.
Peaking up over her shielding arm, Batgirl watched the cult assemble in their cliché blue robes and hoods. They gathered around a circle drawn into the floor, accept the symbols within it were not the voodoo symbols that Marinette had seen the last time they had investigated this group. No, these symbols were jagged and harsh, as if someone had carved them with a shard of glass into the stone.
The cult began their chanting and the symbols glowed blue, then green. Batgirl felt a shiver run down her spine. Marvin took her fear soundlessly and curled deeper within himself. Daisy hissed and demanded that Batgirl get them out of there. Batgirl wanted to listen to her system. She really did. But she was frozen on the spot, as the cult leader raised his hand, and sliced open his wrist. The blood poured out and swirled as if it were caught in the wind. The blood grew far beyond the amount the man was giving, and it twisted into the ghastly shape of a demon.
The demon was tall with horns like a bull coming from his skull, and eyes like black voids eating away at the red vortex that was his body. Batgirl couldn’t make much of him from the twisting movement of the liquid. But it was painfully clear that this thing was unnatural and dangerous. Then the being began to speak in a harsh guttural language, that grated on her ears and screeched in her mind. Batgirl recoiled in pain.
When Batgirl awoke, she was back in her apartment. The lights were on and dinner was cooking on the stove. Daisy was fronting as the news was playing in the background. She was vaguely aware of Marven curled in the corner of their mind shivering from their combined fear that none of them could take alone.
“What happened?” she groaned.
“You should have listened to Marinette,” Daisy whispered.
“What happened?”
Daisy sighed and said, “Marven took control. He was so scared, Batgirl, and you weren’t doing anything. So, he just ran. He almost got lost five times. It was all I could do to get him to let me front. Which is why we’re having his favorite tonight. And you are explaining yourself to Marinette. This was not ok Bats. You went to far this time.”
Batgirl slunk deeper into their mind in shame, “I’m sorry.”
“It’s ok,” Marven whimpered. “Just listen to us. We’re a system right? We have to work together!”
Daisy smiled, as Batgirl stopped retreating. “Come on,” she said, “I’m starving. We’ll call Marinette in the morning.”
---------------
“She’s my chosen!” Nooroo cried.
“No, she’s mine!” Duusu cried as they chased each other around the apartment.
“What are they arguing about again?” Trixx muttered from her food induced comma.
“Raven,” Sass sighed. “They still haven’t decided which one of them gets to choose her.”
“Seriously?” Trixx demanded sitting up. “Can’t they, you know just flip a coin or something?”
“She’s an empath!” Duusu cried, “I’m the kwami of emotion! We’re perfect for each other!”
“You have Alfred!” Nooroo shouted, “You can’t have two chosen!”
“They tried that,” Mullo said with a sigh, “But that still didn’t work.”
“How long are they going to be at this?!” Plagg groaned, “Some of us are trying to sleep!”
“Hey,” Longg said floating up to the lounging kwami, “Do you think the Guardian has noticed the second fluid soul yet.”
“Probably,” Sass said thoughtfully, “I’m more interested in learning if she’s found holders for the rest of us…or at least solved what she’s going to do with those two.”
“Raven’s my chosen!”
“No, she’s mine!”
“I saw her first!”
“You did not!”
The kwami groaned as the two chased each other through the plants and furniture, carless of who or what they were disturbing. “I know!” Roaar cried, “They can fight it out!”
“No!” the rest of the kwami cried.
“Just wait for the Guardian, she’ll figure it out,” Mullo said.
“Yes,” Kaalki declared, “Our Guardian will do what’s best for us. She always has.”
“So have any of you seen holders you might like?” Fluff asked chipperly.
“I like that Beast Boy,” Xuppu cried flying up.
“That young Robin seems to have the proper degree of sophistication to be a part of my hive,” Pollen said thoughtfully.
“You mean a member of my herd,” Kaakli said with narrowed eyes.
“Oh no,” Sass muttered.
Wayze flew between them saying, “I like Red Hood. His protective instincts will make him a fine turtle.”
“I think,” Roaar said flying up to him, “What you meant to say was, that his ferocity would make him a fine Tiger!”
“I thought you liked Spoiler?”
“What?!” cried Trixx suddenly very much awake, “No! Spoiler is mine! I can work with purple! Just watch, she’ll be my best Fox yet!”
Sass groaned. He held his head in his flippers as the kwami dissolved into arguments around him. “Hurry Marinette, I don’t think I can take much more of this bickering without going insane!”
Plagg just rolled on the table cackling at the chaos.
--------------------------
“Hm,” Tim hummed as he squinted down at the screen in front of him.
“What’s up Replacement?” Jason said sliding onto the couch next to him. “I thought you would be down in the cave by now. Isn’t Ladybug joining the JL today or something.”
“They’re meeting isn’t until three,” Tim said as he continued scrolling.
“Then what’s got you in detective mode?”
“This,” Tim said shifting his computer so Jason could see the charity website that he had been pursuing.
“I don’t get it,” Jason said with a shrug, “What’s so dangerous about Gotham’s Homeless Shelters is it fake.”
“Not that I can tell,” Tim said sipping his coffee, “One of my friends introduced me to it. A Wayne Gala friend.”
“Ah,” Jason said nodding in understanding, “Suck up, or Actually a Decent Human Being?”
“Decent Human Being,” Tim said, “Which is why I decided to check it out. But then I saw their donors list.” He clicked on the link and Jason’s eyes bulged.
“Ok,” he said, “I know I’m not the most in touch with the ‘Wayne’ side of things, but even I know that half of these names are money grubbing suck ups. What’s got people like Silvers donated hundreds of thousands to charity? Blackmail?”
Tim shrugged as he sipped his coffee, “No clue. But I’ll tell you this, whoever their coordinator is must be one hell of a sales person.”
“Does it say?”
“Um…yeah, I guess the next time we’re at a gala we better keep an eye out for Lila Rossi.”

Round Two Right: Timdrien vs Cassette
Both of these ships have a history of slaughtering their opposition, but how will they stack up against each other? We're counting on you to find out! If you're having trouble deciding, our shipping blurbs are available below.
Timdrien
Tim Drake, aka Red Robin, grew up being dragged to galas to impress his parents' friends with how polite he was. Given that Jack and Janet Drake are alarmingly similar people to Gabriel Agreste (minus the supervillainy), and given how perfect Adrien’s public mask is, we'd be willing to bet that Adrien Agreste, aka Chat Noir, grew up much the same way. That plus their shared pastime of sneaking out for vigilante works leaves an absolute certainty that these two would find a kindred spirit in each other.
Cassette
Cassandra Cain, aka Batgirl, Black Bat, or Orphan, is generally pretty quiet, but she never hesitates to stand up for what she believes in. Social interactions are hard for someone who didn’t actually learn to speak until her late teens, especially when you can read all of someone’s feelings in their body language. A useful skill, when talking to someone who has the unfortunate characteristic of growing too flustered to speak whenever they try to talk to someone they’re crushing on, as Marinette Dupain-Cheng so often does. These two ladies have a balance between them, and they fit pretty well together because of it.

Well, Nettie is said to be a problematic child, Only Jason and Tim checked her class background when they saw it was almost perfect before Lila but then  Lila Rossi in background check  came it raised red flags cause even a billionaire doesn't travel this much , way too much flaws and loop holes, hell she has criminal records for murder , suicide,  harassment, money laundering and sexual assault etc . 
Other bats treated her terrible than anything even left her to sleep on empty stomach and left her at Gotham Academy and Damian was pissed cause perfect grades and way to good reputation and Jon vouched her for injuries are indeed real but jealousy got best of him, he injured her more and shamed her for no reason who saw this behavior stopped giving him a glance where she was a great help and her organization plans helped school and student council.
 Well, Bat family dismissed his behavior but that didn't got under radar of bat girls , Jason, Tim, they helped her while others just thought that's fair. Then Jon begged his parents to go to Wayne Manor if not Damian will kill an innocent person and would be out of it unchecked. 
Diana and Arthur take Marinette a side and bow to her in recognizing the Miraculous. There were already Constantine, Zatana, Diana and Arthur. As soon as he scanned her  " You call yourself World's greatest detective my foot who can't tell the difference between makeup and bruise ? You're son of a bastard is also one of the reasons as well as you for her physical, mental and emotional scars, no wonder when Diana met Talia she said she is utterly disappointed in Damian. Shame on you Wayne .Are you stupid those bruise and scars are real? '' Clark yelled in his coldest voice and threw them a darkest glare
" That bitch got to your adopted parents , right pls . Do something you're practically the owner of black knights and gates  , official technopath of Europe, MDC, a genius recognised in magic and mechanics, singer named as NYX Night, prodigy of literature, mdc and businesswoman comes 1st place in the world. 
 I am your uncle . I can help hell, even some of your other honorary uncle or aunts like Oliver Queen, Barry Allen, Zatana , Diana, Arthur and Me etc  can help you. Those kids are sick as hell as you call mobsters but more worse than monsters and demons whatever shit is that? 
From what I see they are probably the worst people . You're skinnier than usual . And who the hell pushed you down the stairs and around so much. Pack your things you're coming with me .
 Most importantly you believe Joker should stay dead. Even Deadpool, Talia, Taskmaster and Slade are your models even though they wear masks and they would gladly kill them. It was a great relief that your parents never gave you much attention and at least you're away from that creep but still take Cat miraculous from him. Don't know what the guardian saw in that rat.  That Ass-greste boy is the worst and last night you told me  who the hawkmoth is.
 Well, I wonder How much big news it would be to know that a billionaire's son killed a CEO and owner of 1200 companies who has 27 digits in 8 bank accounts  just for jealousy and seriously your daughter who was unknown to his family who outright gave her up?
 Well, we have come to a decision to remove bat fam from JL only Red Robin, Red hood and batgirls are allowed. Can't you see there's less crime since she came here. A true creation soul can remove bad luck and destruction. Anyway we got better detectives and my personal favourite you think why don't we tell you to investigate some cases for us? She is'' said Constantine.
 Just then Akuma alarm was set off.`` Come on, I had only 12 hrs , Gabribitch, that's a lot and mass akumatation looks like I have put more fuel on fire. " "Kalki transform me" " wait, we want to help" other batfam was outright told no . Well Barbara and Cass with Jason not Damian cause he tried to kill her when she tried to help him were healed with magic of Mari as soon as she saw them "okay fine. Deactivate me. Cass- dragon, Steph- Fox, Barbara- Bee , John you need black cat sorry, " " that's okay" " Tim- Horse, Jason- Snake , Diana- Tiger and Arthur- Turtle and Rabbit after using it give it back as a guardian after this fight completing the box , I will officially retire and come to help only in need of pure magic  problems "  
 Clark and Lois  hacked the portal and caught bullshit of Alya" it's totally happening ' Lady noir' after all these years, Lois checked her blog in few minutes full of bullshit man she uploaded Lila Rossi too and ' how to bully a bully .' her credit was gone to drain only other classes saw bullshit and people were crap long before. First bee paralysed as he said M'lady and took away the ring gave it to John . And fought Sandboy as soon as they won. A agony shot through Mari as She casted Miraculous cure as the formation was going off in 4 minutes her injuries were more visible due to the assault of her classmates as she was caught by Liars squad except Alya. 
As soon as Alya saw Lois and Clark and other heroes ready to go home before they rescued her and tikki transformed her back she ran towards them asked for interview and demanded when Rena Rouge is coming back . Darkness cataclysms her phone. She became Lady Wifi. As she was defeated , they made their way back home. Wonder Woman picked Mari up in her arms and Tim made a portal for Medway at Watchtower and helped her heal from her injuries applied by Batfam and her old classmates .
 With the selection of miraculous holders, the hawkmoth was defeated by Storm . It was decided she will use miracles only in an emergency as she can use magic outside. Lila was taken down in a gala at La Garde Hotel were Chloe lives as CO-CEO of black knights and gates was revealed with proof of abuse of classmates and neglect of her problems , the school was sued a lot as Nettie was CEO of no . 1  company in the world. A adoption war broke out between Arthur, Jagged Stone, Batfam, Diana , Bourgeois, Constantine, Zatara, Queen , both Wilsons, Al-Ghul , Allen , Tsurgami ,Kents, Lucifer, Nightingale and Gardener, Jordan was actually smarter than others as he knew who did most of the funding and destroyed Injustice League and Lex Luthor, made a barrier greater than JL scientist can make for earth.
 Well, the possibility for so called greatest detective to be even called detective and to adopt her was out of options and who never supported them saw toxicity of batfam and left to Mansion even bigger than Wayne's and Tim outright switched his job of CEO from Wayne to Black knights and gates settled for co- CEO with Chloe Mari and Jason. Why, Jason do have a degree for it , and broke the contract of merging Drake and Wayne enterprises to merge with Black knights and gates.
 It made Bruce do all the work for Wayne's enterprises which he was serving his hours of torture that he gave to Tim force fully but black knights and gates have a system and most important, most honest employees do most of the work and get a bonus every week. They never slacked off or anything. Jason, Tim and Batgirls left all of their old personas for miraculous and magic.
 But after defeating the hawkmoth putting bitch into Jail with Lila as she was 19 while Mari was 15 and others were 18. Seriously she was older than Damian by 4 yrs  and didn't have strength to push him and that was done by other 12 graders just because she's young doesn't mean she's bullied by her classmates and it saved her alot . 
I mean Tim and Jason were in the same class and saw what Damian does to her in school for no reason. Outright laughed , this caused a shift in school and no one can take his bullshit anymore and saved her by putting themselves and taking her out of there  by either or Jason, Tim and Steph. He was treated like an enemy and even classic bully girls don't do this much one time a knife was launched at her. This proved the doubts of him being a demon being true and then tried to behave nice but outside and home it's another story, he tried to use a knife just because she learned self defense saved her by skin from time to time in 3 months and someone dying in Wayne Manor that's way too important for the Universe.
 It was a call to Constantine that proved everything and he called every person who can defend him against Bruce Wayne but it was wrong decision by which everyone came for adoption war and her parents tried to take her back with force as it  got leaked for being a person with 27 digits in 8 accounts those were highly secure even more than JL computers with her own company cause every hour codes get changed it takes one month to crack one so it was almost impossible that made them as incompetent parents and greedy .
 The behavior of Waynes was so much sore only Dick was put aside cause he was highly unaware and had a line between them and batfam almost killed every criminal. This caused Joker to change his ways to killing to praising miraculous gang only batgirls and Tim and Jason. It fueled their anger. But a problem arises as it was found Jason and Tim both are Black Cat so Plagg made another ring with help of tikki to create his twin. They're also involved in the magic community instead so they had less pressure in time of need and others were found but they still kept horses and snakes.
 Due to some reasons, she became guardian of every lantern too. She was self emancipated due to being but they can hoard her as they're still her aunts and uncles. During this, everyone in JL got modeling as a job at least once it gave them even a bigger cover for identification. They stopped having contact with Wayne in general and the police department actually liked the miraculous team more than batfam. After a week of insults from people in Gotham was a reason to stop Batman altogether. Due to this Damian Wayne was more violent and sent to Judicial custody of a strict man for no violence maybe there was a good  reason for the demon's mother, sisters and brothers to leave him and his dad alone.
 Meanwhile Jason 23, Tim and Marinette 20 started dating and got married at the age of  Jason 25 , Tim and Mari 22. Problems came and were gone. The crime in Gotham got so low that vigilants were not needed. The city of doom became the city of gloom . Well, Steph and Cass were married , Barbara and dick Kori all got married  due to some reasons a billionaire became a millionaire. Had to sell his property and live in a flat. Who knew treating the youngest CEO could cause a load of problems as well as his daughter.

Necromancy and Magic Shops Snippets.
| {MGI Civil War 3 Event} |
| {Necromancy} |
———
| Word Count: 540. |
———
It had been raining the day before, when a fierce knock upon her door rattled the hinges.
Marinette had rushed downstairs to pull open, revealing a sopping wet Adrien at the threshold.
“I need your help...” He rasped, stumbling inside into the warmth beyond.
“Okay.” Marinette had agreed without question or hesitation. She had promised him she'd be there for him no matter what, after everything they've been through as Ladybug and Chat Noir.
“My mother... My father...” Adrien grimaced. “She woke up again. Because of him.”
Marinette didn't need to guess the truth he spoke underneath. She had been dead, cold and still inside that wretched crystal coffin.
“I need your help.” He repeated, staring into her eyes desperately. “I can't do this alone, please.”
“Okay.” She promised, swallowing thickly. “There's a shop, I've heard of. They specialise in... Gardening.”
Adrien nodded, eyes closing for a brief moment. “I can't go. She'll get suspicious if I'm gone for too long.”
“I'll go for you then. I won't let you down.” Marinette whispered.
Which is why she was here, stood in front of the unassuming clocktower that shouldn't exist, labelled neatly with a purple bat shaped sign 'The Batgirls' Emporium'
The door creaked as she opened it, stepping inside. The crackle of magic rolling off her as the wards let her through. She clutched at her Ladybug protective charm tightly.
The shopkeeper was watching her. She glanced away, scurrying towards the necromancy section, hope desperately curling in her chest as she scanned the aisle for what she seeked.
———
Cass looked her latest customer up and down. Their eyes met, and the other looked away first.
She nudged her partner gently and gestured to the necromancy aisle. Steph whistled.
"Ooooh, boy, you're looking for a toughie, huh?" she asked the nervous girl.
"I, um, I didn't -- I don't --"
"Not to worry, not to worry," Steph interrupted. "We've got you covered! We've got animal revivals, people revivals, plant revivals (although we charge extra for a kingdom's crops), and --"
"I'm not!", the customer interruped, "Looking to bring someone back! I need to put someone down!"
Cass's eyes sharpened. Steph froze, then slanted a look at the other.
After a quick examination, Cass shook her head.
"Well," Steph said, "Sorry for any rude assumptions I might've made." Her voice was low and soothing.
“It's... Fine.” Marinette mumbled, refusing to look at her, hands fidgeting at her sides.
Steph sighed. "Look, Cass isn't karate-chopping you right now, so I trust you're not up to any evil. What do you need?"
Marinette made a slight keening noise. “It's... I don't know exactly, I've only heard rumours of it... But my friend, someone he knew was dead and now they're not. And there's. He's scared. I promised I'd help.” She admits, saying far too much and yet not enough at the same time.
Cass vaulted over the counter and pulled Marinette into a hug. She tensed, and Steph feared she'd bolt. Instead, she melted into it.
How long had it been, Marinette wondered, since she'd last been hugged. Even Adrien kept his distance these days, despite everything, not that she faulted him, they were both hurting and coping and healing in their own ways... But she missed being comforted.

WORD COUNT: 610; Legacy Mark AU
SNIPPET
BATMAN
Contrary to popular belief, Bruce Wayne hadn’t been entirely oblivious to the potential effects Batman would have on people’s lives. Granted, he hadn’t quite realized the scale that Batman would one day operate on, but he’d known he was starting something.
He’d known that he was creating a Legacy. Bruce Wayne had just thought Batman would die with him, an unrealized, quiet one that lived only in his heart. (More the fool him, scoff his children, years and years into the future. Then, it seemed unfathomable that Batman had started as nothing more than a butler’s careful handiwork and one man’s quest for justice.)
As Batman stalked the streets of Gotham, tales of the caped crusader grew until he became more than a man. He became a thing of shadows and nightmares and, for some, a beacon of safety.
The day a jet-black bat materialized starkly on his pale wrist, Bruce Wayne didn’t know whether he should laugh or cry. He stared at it until the Batsignal went off, and then there was no time for either.
Would his parents be proud of him? Would Batman save another little boy’s parents, trapped in an alleyway, at the mercy of a man with a gun?
It was the start of a Legacy. (It was the end of a childhood.)
~
BATGIRL
Like her predecessor, (not a mentor, never a mentor), Barbara Gordon had never set out to create a Legacy. She had set out to do good, to tap into that ‘potential’ so many teachers raved about and set it towards something useful. She knew what Gotham was like – having the Police Commissioner for a father would do that to a girl – and she wanted, more than anything, to create change.
And she did. 
For eight years, Batgirl flew about the city with her red hair streaming behind her, a shining light of hope and optimism. Despite it all, despite the corrupt cops and the Arkham break-outs and the pressing, draining misery of Gotham City, Batgirl remained.
REMAINING OUTLINE
The legacy becomes cemented when the mark appears on the wrist of another person -- the legacy-starter's successor. The mark only disappears when there's a possibility of retirement in the legacy-starter's future.
When Bruce first adopted Dick, the mark appeared on his wrist for the first few days, until Dick chose to become Robin. Then, Dick got a legacy mark of his own.
Applying this to Batgirls, for the event -- this can create a very interesting situation where Babs's mark disappears right before Joker paralyzes her, and it reappears on Stephanie's wrist. This may lead to Stephanie being more stand-offish with the Bats, since she's afraid that she's "cursed" the other Batgirl, or "stolen" her identity, since in the wake of tragedy she gained something.
Also, Steph and Cass can share the Batgirl mark once Babs passes on the mantle to Cass and then Cass gives it to Steph -- she isn't necessarily retiring as Batgirl, so they can share the mark. As a treat! <3
Also also, once Marinette or Adrien appears in Gotham, we could have the mark on Cass's and Steph's wrist flicker/fade/disappear, and reappear on Marinette's wrist. Unsure if this will be permanent or not -- depends on how Marinette reacts to the idea of being Batgirl! :P I just think that legacy marks are really interesting, since they're more created than destined, and there is an aspect of choice in things! Legacy marks aren't set in stone, and people's decisions can absolutely change whether or not they get a legacy mark. I think there's also power in being able to create a mark, and to create change.

For the Maribat? Get In! Civil War 3 Prompt: Royalty @maribat-get-in
“And what is it that the beloved princess Marinette desires?” Dick asks, exaggeratedly placing a little plastic crown on his younger sister’s head.
She giggles, “I want to be as cool as Batgirl!”
Dick holds a hand up to his chest, offended, as Babs grins. The older girl kneels down so that the two girls are at the same level. Ruffling Marinette’s hair, she says, “You’re already as cool as Batgirl.”
And how can Dick feel offended when she looks at Babs with her big round eyes and asks, “Really?”
“Really.”
Marinette cheers and runs off. Something about getting a Batgirl costume. Babs looks up at him and sticks her tongue out, “I’m her favourite.”
Dick groans and falls back on to the couch. “I’ll win back her favour with Alfred’s cookies.”
She snorts, “Good luck.”
