Well I Need New Hobbies That’s One Thing For Certain

This fic will be posted on ao3 and on tumblr.

(ao3: mic_is_dead tumblr: mic-is-dead)

Song used: Knee deep at ATP- Lovejoy (will link)

“And every sentence that I spoke

Began and ended in ellip…sis…”

Marinette stared at the happy couple. Adrien and Kagami. She felt… well Marinette honestly didn't know how or what she felt honestly. She helped set them up as Ladybug after all.

She had helped Adrien set up a date, a location, everything. She had thought he was finally going to ask her out. She genuinely did, but as the months went by, he never asked her out. Instead he showed up with Kagami.

She should be happy for them! Really… she should… a-and she tried! Really, she did. But it was just so goddamn hard to be happy for them. She knew she could no longer pursue Adrien. He was Kagami’s, and Kagami was his.

“Each of eight fingers gripping what he wrote,

clung on tight...ly… like parentheses

And for each correctly used apostrophe

I could feel my heart sink inside my chest in front of me”

She looked over their texts. Her and Adrien’s texts. Maybe she hadn’t tried hard enough? Maybe she wasn’t up to his standards? She would never know. Her chance was gone. She looked over the texts she sent. Her grammar, it seems, was perfect. The more Marinette read the more her heart just sank. She remembered her thoughts. She had believed she was making progress! She thought Adrien was starting to accept that he could be with her! But no, it was all for nothing.

“So, maybe the lining of a winters coat

Mightn’t be the best place to hide a summers secret

You said every photo that you told that festival

Got lost in your camera in an insurance scam”

Hadn’t he told her he wasn’t ready..? Didn’t he ask her to wait for him..? Yeah… he did. It’s why she had turned down Luka. Because she believed Adrien when he said he’d come to her when he was ready. Turns out she put her faith in Adrien too soon.

“And though underexposed, I can see from the quality

His K Records T-shirt, you’re holding his hand

And I know he took you to the beach,

I can tell from how you bite on your cheek

Every time the sand falls from your insoles”

Marinette saw their Instagram posts. She saw the way Kagami held his hand. She saw when Adrien took Kagami to the beach for their first date. The date she had planned for Adrien and Marinette. Definitely not for Adrien and Kagami. Then again, their first sort of date was at the beach as well. They were both aware of Marinette's feelings. He knew. HE FUCKING KNEW! HE WAS AWARE, THAT SHE, MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG, WOULD FUCKING SEE THE INSTAGRAM POSTS!

...had he just been toying with her..?

“And when our eyes meet,

All I can read is “You’re the B-side~“”

Marinette was done. She was over it. She finally figured it out. Marinette was the side hoe. And she was done being it. So she applied for a scholarship overseas, in a place called Gotham City, New Jersey, also known as crime capital. She was going to study fashion, and she’d finally get away from this shitshow that is Paris. Marinette, well, Ladybug would still travel back for Akumas, but Marinette? No more. She no longer wants to be affiliated with it.

(She’ll still visit her parents and grandparents though. And Chloe. And Luka. And- you know what? You get it. She’ll still visit her actual friends.)

And so she moved.

“I said “it’s not what you like, it’s what you like as a person”

Well I need new hobbies that’s one thing for certain”

She started school at Gotham academy on a chilly, August morning. She had stopped being late, as she now woke up at around 5 am to meditate, and since school didn’t start until 7:30 am, she had plenty of time to get ready.

As Marinette walked up the school's steps, she couldn’t help but wonder, will I finally find my place? Lost in her thoughts, Marinette didn’t notice it, but she had bumped into someone, almost causing her to fall. The man, well more like the boy, caught her though. And, in classic Marinette fashion, she began to ramble.

“Mon Dieu, I am so sorry! I wasn’t looking where I was going because I got lost in thought and I know I should’ve been paying attention but I wasn’t I am so so sorry I-” she stopped to take a breath, finally composing herself. “Are you ok? Are you hurt? Is there anything that I can do to make up for inconveniencing you?”

Finally looking up, Marinette saw the face of the person she had bumped into. She had done her research on people she should look out for. And, just on the top of her (civilian) list, was Damian Wayne. Just her luck.

All he ended up doing, however, was look at her and ask a simple question; “Are you new here?” When Marinette nodded, he spoke again. “Well that explains it. Just try not to bump into me again. Oh, and yes, I am fine. I am not injured what-so-ever. Have a good day.”

And with that, he left. Unbeknownst to Marinette, many students had seen the whole exchange. He really has changed, hasn’t he? Was the single thought running through every student's mind.

-time skip to about 4 months later woo :D-

Since Damian and Marinette shared a few classes, and one required them to do a year long group project, (which they were paired together for. Not their choice, blame the teacher) they decided to at least get acquainted with each other (much to Damians dismay). The more time they spent, the closer they got, however, much to Marinette's surprise.

At some point, Marinette ended up catching feelings for Damian. She wouldn’t tell him though. He was her first friend she made in Gotham that was around her age, as she didn’t think that her 20 something year old neighbor would count.

One fateful night, however, Marinette stood on the roof of her apartment building. It was late at night, maybe 10, 11? She wasn’t sure. Time was a tricky thing, especially when Marinette was alone in her thoughts.

Marinette wasn’t expecting anyone. It made sense, as it was late at night, and no Gothamite would be stupid enough to be out- especially not alone. But there he was. Damian Wayne in all his glory. Just stood there, watching helplessly, as his friend, his very dear friend, Marinette Dupain-Cheng, fell from the edge of the roof.

“It’s not what you like, it’s what you like as a person”

Well I need new hobbies that’s one thing for certain”

A/N: if someone by the username of @battle-of-olympus-insta reply’s to you, don’t worry, that’s me but on my other account. Tumblr won’t let me reply on this account for some reason. Probably cause I’m mobile. Dunno

Wayne’s Angel @FashionInGotham

Why is it weird that I’ve never met a Bat before? It’s not like Damian or the Waynes have ever seen Ladybug or Chat Noir or the Miraculous Team in Paris, and they’ve been in Paris a lot more than I’ve been in Gotham #confusion #AMERICAEXPLAIN

Jason Todd Lives @BestTodd

@FashionInGotham Whomst the Fuck is Ladybug and Chat Noir?? Also, Miraculous Team Sounds like some magical girl anime Cass watches

Call me Cass @CainYouBelieve

@FashionInGotham @BestTodd 🖕🏼

Wayne’s Angel @FashionInGotham

@FashionInGotham @BestTodd @CainYouBelieve They’re the Paris superheroes, they showed up almost five years ago to fight the little bitch of a villain, Hawkmoth and his stupid peacock assistant, Mayra.

Dick Grayson @AFlyingGrayson

@FashionInGotham @BestTodd @CainYouBelieve @ FashionInGotham WHAT?! Paris has heroes??

Wayne’s Angel @FasionInGotham

@FashionInGotham @BestTodd @CainYouBelieve @ FashionInGotham @AFlyingGrayson Oh yeah, I forgot that the mayor was trying to keep it a secret from the rest of the world #MyB But yeah Ladybug and Chat Noir have been there the longest but there’s also Abeille, Viperion, Ryuko, Pegasus, King Monkey, Bunnyx, and Badulf

Chloe raised an eyebrow at her friend as she saw the tweet thread that was quickly going viral, “You realize my dad is going to flip about this.”

“He deserves it,” Adrian pipped up from where he was painstakingly painting Kagami’s nails a deep burgundy.

The other teen heroes hummed in agreement as Chloe huffed.

“Well Yeah, but I was hoping to do it with a little extra flair than a twitter thread.”

Alix snorted as she finished up Kim’s banana yellow toes, drawing a crude smiley face on his big toe with bright blue, “She’s dating the youngest kid of the most influential family in the world and has like 100 million followers. Plus she called Hawkmoth a little bitch and it already has 90k likes. I call that flair.”

It was a surprise when Nathanial had had his freak out during his second battle, against a Crimson Peacock event no less, and had called her Lady Marinette in front of the other temporary heroes, but had lead to many nights like the one they were having now. Onesies of each other’s heroes’ identities donned as they lounged around Chloe’s room, simply enjoying each other’s company after a long patrol. Chloe and Adrian had demanded they have a spa night, which is why everyone was either giving or receiving mani-pedis while they waited for their face masks to finish. It was nice, to have so much support outside of the masks, especially as they entered their final year in Lychee.

Marinette rolled her eyes, “It’s only 98 million, Alix, and plus I figured four months after I made this account was long enough to make the slip up seem genuine. We need to catch Hawkmoth soon, or else this entire mess will get a lot more complex.”

They all frowned as they realized the truth behind her words. They were all facing hard decisions if they couldn’t pin the man down, not like they hadn’t already sacrificed so much to continue the battle. Max had already turned down graduating early and a full ride to MIT, citing his desire to graduate with his friends before moving across the globe. Luka had been invited to tour with Jagged, only to politely decline, telling the pouting rockstar that he wanted to do some soul finding first. Kim had given up a summer training camp with the French Olympic team. Alix had given up going on an expedition with her dad and brother, missing out on the chance to explore the dunes of Egypt. Marinette had turned down three internships at this point, one from Audrey Bourgeois, One from Raven Baxter, and lastly and most devastatingly, one from Edna Mode.

They needed to end this, before the overwhelming feeling of their futures slipping right between their fingers got them akumatized.

Tim Drake Offical @TJDrake

Seeing the demon spawn panic when he realized @FasionInGotham isn’t any safer from maniacs in Paris then she is in Gotham is strangely endearing and vaguely terrifying #whyismyfamilylikethis

Duke of Hazard @DoneWithTheRich

@TJDrake Like you and Barb aren’t frantically searching for anything you can find on the Miraculous Team and these weird-ass butterfly dude.

Call me Cass @CainYouBelieve

@TJDrake @DoneWithTheRich Bugout.com, It’s in French but informative.

@TJDrake @DoneWithTheRich @CainYouBelieve How did you find this before Barbs and me????

Call me Cass @CainYouBelieve

@TJDrake @DoneWithTheRich @CainYouBelieve @TJDrake Alfred.

The news swept up the story in an instant and suddenly the whole world was demanding to know what the Parisian Mayor had been thinking and why the Justice League hadn’t been involved.

It wasn’t long until the entire Miraculous Team was seated in front of the Louvre. Countless new agencies from around the world were present, eager to hear the story of the sickeningly young-looking heroes, but the one video that received the most views was the shaky camera videos that were uploaded to Marinette’s Twitter, as they shortened the two-hour-long Press conference into manageable clips that highlighted the most important points.

Wayne’s Angel @FasionInGotham

Full Lineup, Damn. Haven’t seen that since the last time we had a Scarlet Moth incident. For those who need context, this is like seeing the entire founding Justice League together to us Parisians.

The clip attached showed A panning shot as they introduced all of the heroes. Ladybug and Chat Noir sat in the center of the long table flanked by Vipirion, plucking his lyre absentmindedly, Abeille, glaring down her nose at the reporters, a beaming King Monkey waving excitedly, and an eerie serious Bunnyx sitting as still as a statue to their right, on their left was fierce-looking Ryuko looking ready to slice anyone who got too close, the calculating Pegasus, mumbling under his breath, and lastly the timid Badulf, struggling to keep his red bangs out of his eyes.

Wayne’s Angel @FasionInGotham

LMAO RYUKO #DRAGONQUEENSLAY

Don’t question Paris’ Heroes like that, they’re feisty.

The clip showed a British reporter demanding to know why the heroes hadn’t contacted the Justice League previously to gain their assistance in taking down the dangerous threat that was Hawkmoth.

You could Ladybug’s eye twitch at the condescending question, but before she could answer Ryuko leaned forward to the mic situated in front of her with a glint in her eyes.

“I apologize for my English,” She started, “I am not as versed in the language as some of my teammates. To answer your question on why we haven’t had the League’s help is because Green Lantern is a fuck.”

Silence filled the gathering before Chat, King Money and Bunnyx burst into giggles, the rest of the heroes struggling to keep a straight face. The media was staring at them dumbfounded until Ladybug finally leaned forward.

“I’m sorry for the outburst,” She started, lips still trying to twitch upwards, “But as Ryuko said we did ask for help. About five months into our heroship Chat and I received an answer from the League after trying for three months to contact them. The ‘help’ came in the form of Green Lantern coming and assessing the situation. Unfortunately for us, Hawkmoth is smart and when the neon green monstrosity of a hero flew in he laid low instead of attacking when a Leaguer was present. Without an attack and no physical damage present as one of my powers allows me to restore all damage done to Paris or its citizens, He decided we were powered children that were trying to get in the spotlight.”

“Getting lectured on wasting the League’s time and resources before he flew off really put a damper on us asking again,” Chat added in, toxic green eyes narrowed and laser-focused on the reporter, “So we handled it ourselves, gaining our own allies as we needed them. But please continue telling us how the League could have helped sooner if only we had asked for help.”

Clip after clip, ten of them total were uploaded into the thread. Explaining the worst battle the heroes had ever faced, the strength of their enemy, what the villain and his assistance could and would do, the worst attacks, the easiest wins, the ways that Ladybug and Chat chose their allies, but the last two clips seemed to get the largest reaction out of the audience, both at the press conference and the internet.

Wayne’s Angel @FashionInGotham

Not gonna lie, seeing my tormentors get put on blast by all of the Heroes is very vindictive #IsthatMean? #MaybeSo

“You’ve seemed to have shifted your support away from one local blog, to another over any official news agency,” One of the nicer reporters at the events said, “Is there a particular reason? And why the sudden shift two years ago?”

Chat’s face was strangely pinched, “Oh you mean why we switched from giving exclusives to the LadyBlog to BugOut? It’s quite simple. We go to the news sources we trust to take the information we are willing to give without worrying about ratings as their top priority. We tried going to Nadja Chamack at first, the local news anchor that we all hold a great deal of respect for, but the producers threatened her to get a ‘highly-rated’ interview. It led to her asking questions Ladybug and I thought were counterproductive to the reason we were invited to the interview and was trying to turn us into celebrities instead of allowing us to do the jobs we needed to. It was a similar reason we stopped going to Alya Cesaire, the Ladyblog editor.”

Ladybug took over here, “Miss Cesaire has the ability to be a very good journalist, but as her blog grew in popularity, so did her need for highly viewed content, this caused her to not only start posting more rumors and speculation than anything we’ve ever said but also to stop fact-checking with us things she heard. Even after talking to her about removing the content that was blatantly untrue and was told no due to the high ratings it had received we realized that we simply couldn’t work with her anymore.”

Abeille piped up in a low regal voice that was dripping with venom, “It really didn’t help that when we started interviewing with Aurora Beaureal from BugOut, shortly after my introduction, Miss Cesaire began a smear campaign against her, claiming she was faking her sources and videos publicly on her blog. Luckily we were able to shut that down quickly enough but it didn’t stop Miss. Cesaire from running into battle to distract us, and frankly, harass us for answers even after we told her no. It’s lead to more than one incident where she, other civilians, and even ourselves have been hurt.”

“Either way,” Chat took over again, “We want to support local news sources but only when they are willing to listen to our boundaries and work with us instead of trying to push issues.”

“Does that mean that info we found on the Ladyblog is not to be believed?” Another reporter called out.

“I would take anything after the first post about Lila Rossi with a grain of salt,” Ladybug said, only for King Monkey to snort and lean towards the mic.

“Yeah and if Lila Rossi is mentioned at all in the post just assume everything in that post is fake. Miss. Rossi is a known liar and problem for us.”

“Can you give us an example?”

Ladybug sighed before explaining, “The first time I heard of Miss. Rossi was an interview on the Ladyblog of her claiming to be my best friend. Now I very much value the secrecy I and my team have created for ourselves because it protects our friends and families, but even a lie about knowing me in such a public setting is dangerous because Hawkmoth and Mayra have proven that they aren’t above underhanded tactics to try and get the upper hand in our fights. I went looking for the girl to explain why she can’t say such things for her own safety, only to find her telling a boy that she possessed the Fox Miraculous in a public park. I will admit I called her out in a way that wasn’t very nice but either claim was enough to put her in danger, but both were painting a target on her back and it scared me that someone would do something to impress a boy. After that, she was akumatized for the first time and since then it has gotten even worse despite me apologizing the second I cured the Akuma. Some of her lies are enough to count as Slander if any of the celebrities she lied about knowing saw the posts, but no amount of persuasion seems to get her to stop.”

Wayne’s Angel @FasioninGotham

Watching their powers without the looming threat of an Akuma/Amok is a blessing. They look so cool! #Love #Miraculous

The clip started with the heroes standing in front of the table, grouped differently than before. Off to one side King Monkey, Viperion and Bunnyx stood, Viperion holding a microphone.

“While we would love to an demonstrate our powers as requested,” He explained, “Our powers are not really good for demonstrations. Mine is known as Second Chance.”

He raised his hand and pulled the slider across his bracelet as he named it, a flash of pale teal light admitting from it, “When activated like I just did, it allows me to return to the point of activation at any time before I detransform in fifteen minutes as many times as I wish with only myself remembering the previous changes I have made.”

Without even acknowledging the startled whispers from the crowd, he handed the microphone to King Monkey, who offered a cheeky smile.

“So my power is called Uproar. It allows me to create a toy-like object that when it comes into contact with someone causes all of their abilities to malfunction.”

He goes to pull his staff from where it was strapped to his back only for Vipirion to stop him. A silent exchange passed between the pair before the taller hero nodded and handed the microphone off to Bunnyx.

“Viperion and I have a similar reason for our powers being hard to show off, only his is a little more versatile,” She started in a voice devoid of any emotion, swinging her pocket watch slightly, “I have the power Burrow. It allows me, and anyone I chose to take with me, access to a pocket dimension where I can travel to any point in time or space that I chose, past, present, or future. While you might see me fight during any battle I can make it to, my power is a last-ditch effort, as I would have to travel back in time to change the past if I do this assume the future is unsavable.”

The hush that falls over the crowd was quickly broken by Ryuko tapping her group’s microphone to draw attention to the opposite side of the stage where she stood with Abeille, Badulf, Pegasus, Chat, and Ladybug.

“I believe it’s best to not dwell on any one of our powers,” She told them, “Our powers are scary and knowing that they can be taken from us at any time and used for nefarious purposes keep all of us up at night, but we ask you to trust us to use them only for good.”

She waited a moment for the crowd o calm down before giving her own explanation, “My ability is known as the Three Dragons, the Water Dragon, the Wind Dragon, and the Lightning Dragon.”

She handed off the microphone to Pegasus, before calling forth the Wind Dragon and bursting into a group of clouds that swiftly blew around the stage before traveling over to the Louvre Pyramid and watching as the heroine reformed at the top, offering a small wave before the call for Water Dragon could be heard and a large dome of water formed over the entire courtyard.

Before she could call for her last form the snake hero grabbed the microphone, “Lightning Dragon is a bad idea, Ryuko.”

The heroine didn’t even question him, instead, vaulting off of the pyramid, the crowed gasped only for her to effortlessly land next to Bunnyx in a crouch, brushing herself off as she rose and turned her gaze to the horse miraculous user, who quickly explained his power before calling forth Voyage.

His cry caused blue light to circle his arm and he sent it towards the top of the still-present water dome, with a controlled flick of his arm.

The heroes didn’t even blink as the crowd filled with cries as the Eiffel Tower fell through the portal, Ladybug’s yoyo whipping out to direct it’s decent, the entire courtyard shaking as the 10k ton structure landed.

“I’m up next!” Chat called out with a large grin, while the reporters didn’t seem to know if they should pay attention to the moved monument or the hero. His explanation was short since they were many videos of him using it but that didn’t stop the international reporters from screaming as Cataclysm swirled around his hand eating away at the Eiffel Tower, leaving a pile of rust in the crater

“Is-Is this much property damage necessary?”

Abeille shrugged, “No, but once we get to Ladybug, it’ll make more sense. Either way my turn.”

An unpleasant chill went up the world’s spine as she demonstrated how she could freeze all voluntary movement of her target on Chat Noir, who was still as a statue the second her stinger touched him.

Ladybug quickly took the mic and began explaining her powers. The world watched in amazement at her pulling a red and black spotted camera from thin air before she launched it into the air with a cheer of “Miraculous Ladybug!”

Suddenly a glowing swarm of ladybugs formed and tore through the air, covering Chat Noir, releasing from Venom, before healing the crater and rust from nearby, dissolving the water dome in the same instance.

If there hadn’t been so many people present the world wouldn’t have believed that so much damage was just repaired in the span of ten seconds, but staring at the unimpressed Parisians around them the world finally seemed to grasp the reality of the situation.

These children were past what one would even expect from metas, from aliens and superhumans like they had seen around the world already. These were heroes that were harnessing the very forces that made up the universe and fighting them at the same time. Bunnyx wasn’t exaggerating when she mentioned that sometimes there would be apocalyptic endings to their fights.

Instead of letting the knowledge stew Badulf step forwarded, twisting the microphone as he explained his power of illusions for the reporters.

With a short tune on his flute suddenly the group of heroes was gone, All that remained was a Sign thanking them all for coming. Even after the illusion faded the heroes were nowhere to be found, having used the final demonstration as the perfect cover to sneak away so that no one could follow them.

Wayne’s Angel @FasionInGotham

I must say I was not expecting such an outpour of love for all of Our heroes but damn am I pleased by it. Ladybug is our big name but the others are honestly way underloved in Paris, especially Chat who’s been there since the beginning. #MiraculousTeam

Tim Drake Official @TJDrake

Fun Fact: I just heard Alfred swear for the first time while watching the press conference and it was to call Hawkmoth and Mayra an arsehole FLOB and his fucking Slag.

Never been more terrified,

Based on the faces around me neither has any of the other Waynes #AlfredisTerrifying

Wayne’s Angel @FashionInGotham

Why am I the go to person for everything Mircualous Team? BugOut.com is a great source if you want more info.

Still Queen Bee @BuzzBuzz

@FashionInGotham Probably cause you're most famous Parsian? Or cause you were a miraculous user once?

Jason Todd Lives@BestTodd

@FashionInGotham @BuzzBuzz IM SORRY?? DID YOU JUST SAY MARIGOLD HAD ONE OF THOSE MAGIC FUCKING GEMS???

Wayne's Angel @FasionInGotham

@FashionInGotham @BuzzBuzz @BestTodd That didn't come up in the conference did it? A few of the old users of miraculous got outed as heros so LB doesn't call on them anymore, but keeps tabs on them since HM and Mayra will try and emotionally malipulate them into getting akumatized. A few of us bonded over it.

Still Queen Bee @BuzzBuzz

@FashionInGotham @BuzzBuzz @BestTodd @FashionInGotham Its common knowledge in Paris, Mari, me and our other friend @NotaModel all had miraculous at one point, but HawkBitch found out so we can't ever use a miraculous again sadly. I had the Bee, Mari had the Mouse and Ari had the Snake

Dick Grayson @AFlyingGrayson

Why is Damian staring at a wall and not responding? What broke him? #Help???

Dick Grayson @AFlyingGrayson

@AFlyingGrayson Nevermind #HecouldnthaveanormalGF? #HolyShitMari

Wayne's Angel @FasionInGotham

So I can no longer say I've never seen a Bat before, just saw Signal and Red Robin, I think???

Gonna be real tho, I was expecting to see them in Gotham, NOT PARIS #wtf #Whyaretheyhere????

Marinette had barely sent the tweet before her phone was ringing.

"Are you being serious?" Adrian asked, in lieu of a greeting, "At least two of the Batfam is here?"

"Yeah," She whispered a bit numbly, eyes still focused on the roof she had watched them disappear from mere moments ago. It was far enough away that if she had been a normal human she wouldn't have heard them, but she wasn't a normal human, "Hey Adrian, Don't tell the team what I'm about to say, okay?"

"Are you okay, bugaboo?"

"Questionable," She didn't even bother rebuking the nickname, "I think I might be dating a Bat."

Gotham Seamstress Marinette - Wayne Gala

I should sTILL BE UPDATING BIO!DAD BUT HERE I AM AGAIN

Initial Idea | Uncle Ozzy | Wayne Gala (you are here) |

So we have the whole Cobblepot Crew at the Wayne Gala. Mari is off wondering, scribbling away in a palm sized sketchbook all the ideas this beautiful place is giving her! (She smuggled it, along with Tikki and Sass, in her purse. Its a little crowded but they can snuggle.) Peri is following behind her quietly, smiling to herself. Not that anybody can see.

Meanwhile Gale and Ozzy have started talking to dear ol’ Brucie boy. At this point, its been a couple years since Ozzy has declared his vendetta and has calmed the fuck down. It also helps that Bruce is not suck a dick about things and Ozzy can relax the stuffy old Gothamite Socialite act around him. They get to talking and Bruce kinda chuckles about how he heard Oswald brought a plus one? Who’s the lucky lady? And he points out Mari, who’s slowly making their way back to the Cobblepot Crew with Peri gently steering her in that direction. And Bruce, dad of all dads, immediately sorta puffs up. “Oswald.”

“Eh? What, Brucie boy?”

“That’s your plus one? She can’t be any older than my youngest-”

“Oh, get your bird-brain out of the gutter! Just doing this as a little favor to the girl, she’s my favorite seamstress, y’know. Made me and the Girls outfits for this little soiree, her own dress too. Figured I’d get her some more... legitimate business, you see. Sweet songbird’s had a rough go, recently.”

And Bruce is even MORE side eye-ing bc wtf does all THAT mean, Cobblepot? Wtf? Should he be Batman concerned or Bruce Wayne concerned? There’ll be a full blown investigation in the Bat Cave when he gets home from this but for now he puts on a smile as Oswald introduces them. Mari is, of course, completely flustered. What an honor to meet Mr. Wayne himself! The Gala is so pretty, and she’s heard all about his charitable work, she’s such a fan!

Bruce is kinda blown away by this little French Sunshine Child and gives her the Father Smile, letting her ramble. Ozzy is preening bc hell yes, his Songbird has Bruce Wayne’s approval. Bruce asks about her designs for the Cobblepot Crew and commends her skills. Gets Mari out for a dance and then she’s dancing with everybody! Bruce, Ozzy, the Girls, even some strangers. Its a great time!

Bruce introduces Mari to Damien, who is unimpressed and bored out of his mind. He can appreciate the aesthetics of Mari’s designs but holds to the idea that she shouldn’t be so willing to design for criminals like The Penguin. Not that he says any of this out loud, of course. Offers to take Mari out for a dance and there’s a lot of Mari apologizing for being such a horrible dancer. (It was one thing with the Cobblepot Crew, who she knew didn’t mind, or Bruce, who seemed so nice. But Damien is sorta angry looking and she’s nervous as hell.) Damien tells her its no problem and manages to lead her around with minimal toe tromping.

BUUUUUT of course this couldn’t last, right? A certain blonde model boy notices Mari and breaks up their dance. In the middle of the dance floor. Like the oblivious boy he is.

And you have panicked French as Adrian grabs Mari’s arm and keeps going on about how glad he is to see her! Where has she been, doesn’t she know how worried everybody has been? Mari, how could she leave him like that? Really, he knew she was upset about the little mishap with their identities and his Father, but did she have to throw such a tantrum about it?

Marinette, meanwhile, is digging her nails into his wrist and trying to get him off of her, practically tripping on her dress in her haste to get away. Adrian still has a firm grip on her arm, though, and she falls back into Damien who, in perfect French, is asking what the hell does he think he’s doing Agreste? And Adrian puffs up and tells him that he doesn’t need to worry about it, its none of his business-!

(Mari stops panicking long enough to catch Ozzy’s eye and the Girls make their way over with extreme prejudiced. None of them notice Marinette grabbing something from Adrian’s finger and slipping it into her purse. Nobody but Damien.)

The Girls pull Adrian away from Mari and Damien and there have their claw hands out, making those upset bird coos. Adrian is kicking about and Bruce is getting an explanation from his son, while Ozzy is trying to comfort Marinette. Its a disaster.

And then. It gets worse. Because Gabriel fucking Agreste notices the commotion and his sons name attached to it and goes over to figure out what the hell is going on.

He grips the back of Adrian’s neck and shakes him a bit because he recognizes Mari and, of course, apologizes profusely for his behavior Miss Marin-

“Mari. Its... Its just Mari, now.”

And Gabriel just nods and apologizes again. “Miss Mari, then. I’m sure this incident will not affect our... agreement?” And Marinette shakes her head and Gabriel nods again and drags Adrian off to leave because not only is this embarrassing, this could jeopardize everything! You stupid, stupid boy!

Mari’s scrubbing tears away from her face and Bruce is apologizing profusely, he had no idea she knew the Agreste’s, or he’d have ensured they didn’t have to interact, and Mari tells him its fine, he couldn’t have known.

Ozzy bundles her up and takes her back to Arthur’s and seethes. The Agreste’s might be having a little accident soon. He drops her off and Mari shuts herself up in her room and slips on the ring and Plagg fizzes into existence and Tikki tackles him and its an emotional night for everybody.

Because you see, when Marinette has found out Gabriel and Adrian’s identities as Hawkmoth and Chat Noir, she’d panicked, and when she’d confronted Gabriel and learned why he was doing what he did... She helped him. Used her Guardian training, and Tikki, to fix the Peacock Miraculous, and heal Mrs. Agreste. In return, Gabriel gave her both the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculi back, saying good riddance as long as he had his wife back. Marinette agreed to keep this between them, as long as he worked to fixing the damage he’d caused, with the city, its people, and his family. And Gabriel has sworn to, less she go back on her own promise to ensure Mrs. Agreste’s health.

Adrian had, of course, figured out Marinette’s identity as Ladybug, and what she had done for his family, and gotten... worse. Not horrible, really, but gradually going from not taking her denial of his advances but becoming more and more pushy about it. Because of course they were meant to be together! And idk if any of you have ever dealt with men like this but its awful. Because Adrian doesn’t understand that what he’s doing is only scaring Mari, and the worse he gets, the more scared she gets. The more desperate to get away. And one day, when Fu names her the official Guardian, she does. She flees to Gotham and never looks back, because Fu remembers so little now, and her family had ignored how her love for Adrian had turned into fear. Everybody had.

So she left. And here she was.

(As far as the Fu thing goes, I haven’t watched season 3′s finale(s) so please don’t spoil them. The idea of Fu losing his memories has more to do with the fact that he’s almost 200 years old and the human body just isn’t made to last that long, magic or no magic. So he starts losing his memory and doesn’t always recognize Marinette so in a moment of clarity he passes the torch, unfinished training or not. Marianne comes to live with Fu and take care of him, remind him of things. They didn’t have their time in their prime, but they’ll take it now.)

Tag List! If you’d like to be added, please send me an ask! Just a little easier for me to keep track of that way, lol

@destinationdesignation @xxmadamjinxx @emjrabbitwolf @meg-chi @officiallyathiana @graduatedmelon @seraphichana (I’m so sorry I can’t figure out why it won’t tag you?) @theatreandcomicfreak @beaversuenightly @7701deathlyhalfbloodprincess

United Heroez: Spideybug

Okay I finally saw the New York Special after seeing my recording of it; honestly yeah I think I did like it despite the many flaws. Did Damocles seriously think he was going to join in an actual supervillain fight? Alya and Nino and their plan with Aeon and Jess... Seriously go check out Confrontation by ChaoticNeutral on AO3 and Nobodyfamousposts on Tumblr. Plus why are there no Spider-Man crossovers before this involving the special? I am not just saying this hoping that it would lead to the stupid Maribat craze to die down (I will keep saying that I don't see Marinette even TOLERATING the actual canon Damian Wayne let alone dating him). Plus as before the special I am open to the idea of Marinette X Jess and if I get any ideas I may try it myself. Like how about Jess hearing Marinette speak of how cool that she thinks Sparrow is.

Also I will get this off my chest now: sorry Aeon but the best robotic girl in animation will always be Penny Polendina from RWBY.

Aeon the robotic superhero secret known as Uncanny Valley was with her best friends and sister figure Jessica "Jess" Keynes (secretly the Superhero sidekick Sparrow) in the museum as they were about to enact the plan that they had came up with along with the visiting French students Alya Cesaire and Nino Lahiffe. They had wanted to bring their friends Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste together and Aeon not long after noticing them had decided that they were perfect together and Jess was going along with it for the fun.

Jess was looking towards the nearly empty exhibit room to see Adrien and Marinette there but her eyes opened and stopped Aeon before she could hack into the electric outlet. Jess pointed a happy looking brown haired teenage boy go up to Marinette and she was equally happy to see them as they embraced.

"Looks like our fellow young hero has met Marinette himself..." Aeon whispered to her and they both knew who it was, it was a shy teenager who went to the local school for gifted science students by the name of Peter Parker. They both knew that he had spider powers and was using Web-Shooters that he had created along with a suit to fight crime as Spider-Man for the past year.

Peter thought that no one knew that he was Spider-Man (not wanting his Aunt May to get worried especially after losing Peter's Uncle Ben) but the truth is that the both of them along with Jess' mother Barbara Keynes (secretly the superhero Knightowl) and Aeon's mother Olympia Hill (secretly the superhero Majestia) both had figured it out. It was not really that hard to figure it out especially since just after the news of his uncle's murder, the murderer was the first criminal that Spider-Man had caught and started being a hero afterwards. The four of them were basically humouring him and honestly Jess wondered how his classmates hadn't figured it out already.

Jess admired Peter for being Spider-Man and his own hero her age without having to be a sidekick to someone else, not having to wait until partners are called before they could help out. Barbara was not exactly thrilled to let him go forth unsupervised but Olympia told them to let the young hero figure out his own path and they would step in if he really needed it.

They looked and saw Marinette introduce Peter to Adrian as her pen pal friend and they both blinked vaguely remembering that Marinette brought up having visited the US with her family on vacation the previous year and had met someone her age there. So it turned out to be Peter...

They both blinked when they saw that Peter and Marinette's faces were red and they both wondered if there would be something between them and it seemed that Adrien noticed as well. He offered to leave them alone, "So should we as they say pull the plug on this plan I believe that I made an error before and I can say that Marinette and Peter are perfect together." Aeon asked and Jess gave a big nod, there is no point now as faking a villain attack would just mean that Peter will go to change into being Spider-Man and be the knight in shining armor.

However to their surprise coming in was Techno Pirate who somehow escaped, they had to transform to deal with them and soon enough there was Spider-Man and then Ladybug? Then Chat Noir. "Why hello there Ladybug, nice to see Paris' greatest hero. I am honoured to be your first American team up here with my buddies Sparrow and Uncanny Valley." Peter said as Spider-Man as Ladybug giggled.

Aeon and Jess noticed how formal the two interacted and both realised who must be happening, Marinette had to be Ladybug and she knew that Peter was Spider-Man and vice versa.

This took a turn for the bizarre...

After a long adventure (that culminated in stopping a possible third World War and Jess gaining a new identity with the Eagle Miraculous), Aeon and Jess were spotting Peter and Marinette embrace while saying goodbye to eachother, there were their classmates and they both noticed Nino and Alya looking disappointed. Then there were their moms coming next to them to watch and there was some huffing from Barbara.

There was Peter before webbing up her helmet's vision to give Ladybug and Chat Noir time to make their escape when she had demanded that they surrender the source of their powers for the remainder of the trip. Jess and Barbara however had some amusement with the disappointed look on the face of Olympia who they knew considered trying to hoop Aeon up with Peter due to seeing what a brave and bright boy he was.

To all MariBat Writers/Fans!

On A03, my username is Chewandy, and I have posted these requests for any Courageous Writer to see if they are willing to take my ideas, and bring them to life. Here are 3 ideas I've written down.

*Warning! The first idea is more a Batsalt fic instead of the usual sugar with just a pinch of salt in the beginning before everyone in the Batfam treats Marinette like an actual being*

Chapter 1:

So I have a crazy idea for a story, but for the life of me, I can't write crap.

So here is an idea that I had that anyone can take. It can go 2 ways. Batfam are good ppl or bad ppl (so Bat salt with Alfred salt as well). Like some fantastic fics, Marinette gets sent to the Waynes as a problematic child. In the salt fic, just like Paris, the believe her to be a bully, etc... It's like that, intil Diana and Arthur and the Sups family comes over. Diana and Arthur takes Marinette a side and bow to her in recognizing the Miraculous. At the same time Clark reports all her injuries to the Waynes and practically screams at them because they thought the injuries were fake. They also thought Jagged, Adrian, Kagami, Chloé and Luka (maybe also Style Queen herself) were testing them in what they thought was the Truth vs Lies that the 5 against the rest of Paris says about the Bluenette. At some point between the screaming going on at Wayne Manors, an Akuma alert goes off and Diana and Arthur lends a helping hand, and she reluctantly says yes. She also refuses the Bats coming along. Lois high Jack's the portal to Paris to get a video of the fight. When Marinette and Co returns, she's badly injured and still refuses the Bats help. Diana takes her to the tower to help her heal while contacting her mother (can't spell her mother's name) for help. In the end, the Amazons teach Marinette a lost Guardian Technique to finding Hawkmoth and to also help her heal. Meanwhile, the Lane-Kents do everything the can to help take down the Liar and her Kingdom of Sheep's. The Batfam wants to help, but are told no. They than try to adopt Marinette, and all hell breaks lose as the 3 other members are already trying the same thing. I can go on, but I'll leave it to the Brave Soul who wants to take up this challenge. Bug Out.

Chapter 2:

Thank you soooooooooooooo much SleepyNov for taking up my request for a this idea of mine 😊.

SleepyNov has started this new series called "I'm Not An Angel" with a beautiful poem to kick start the her adaptation of my request.

Millions of Kudos SleepyNov 👏

- Chewandy

Chapter 3:

So I had another requested fic in my head. This can be seen as a 1 shot or have several chapters.

Now this fic can be in either Gothem, or Metropolis or both. Now before or after Marinette gets the notification that they won the trip to the 🇺🇲, she talks to the School Board about some extra safety measures, like small cameras with mics like from a spy movie, so both the school board and the parents can watch the children to make sure they're safe. When she wins the contest, she asks either Bruce/Tim or lets say Lex Luther for permission. The only time the cameras stop working, is if they are taking a tour of some or even their buildings, but the 🎤 will still be on.

In one of the locations, let's say a few parents, aka the DC's (they can be either salt or sugar), M. ROSSI, Mr. Ceasàr (a zoo conference???), M. Agrest, etc... and they all see and hear what the class and teacher does to Marinette.

At the Gala hosted by either powerful men or one where the gala is sponsored by both (yikes), the parents shows themselves to the class... and I'll let you decide from there. Maybe even have Gabe as part of the class being yelled at??? Akumatization??? Or no more Hawkmoth???

As for friends and maybe love interest, up to writer.

That's all I have for now. If anyone thinks there should be more add, just add to comments and I'll add to this not a chapter chapter 🙂

As the lovely lady says,

Bug Out

Chapter 4:

Page is empty as I have it left to let readers know who the next courageous writer will be plus the title for the story.

Chapter 5:

Ok, so here's another possible 1 shot that can be either just ML or can be alternate universe.

So here's the next next silly request. What if Jagged Stone gave Marinette a crocodile 🐊 egg as either her Birthday present or for something else. Marinette says no, but Jagged is saying that Fang choose this egg for her as Fang had just finished his yearly mating (do crocodiles even mate every year?). Marinette takes the egg and thanks Fang with trusting her with 1 of his own child ( or it could be one of those rare were there are 2 embryos inside 😉).

Now Marinette also lives in Fu's old place for whatever reason the writer decides (salt or no salt for her parents. No salt...oh because the crocodiles are a health code violation or when egg hatch and there are 2 instead of 1???. Let's also say that the parents knew about Marinette helping Fu, and that Fu left everything in her name for the non-salt version)

MPS will include Chloe, Nino, Kim, Kagami, Luka, Sabrina, Juleka, Alix. Max is a maybe. Markov is a yes to being part of the MPS (in salt, he lives with Marinette and acts like her personal security lol) As for Adrian, that is also up to the writer.

Now this can also have Lila in here or not.

Happy ending?????

I'm just going to end my request here.

🐞 out

That is all I have for MLB

🐞 out

Second Chance

I was inspired by @ozmav & @maribat-archive I fell down this rabbit hole of a new fandom and loved it. I willingly walked into the MLB fandom knowing I would get lost, but Daminette took me by surprise.

‘I’ll have Damian Wayne wrapped around my finger in no time.’ thought Lila, ‘I’ve already made sure these losers know he’s mine.’

“Aren’t you excited to see Damian, Lila?” questioned Alya. “Of course! I’ve so missed visiting the Wayne Manor. We use to run around the halls as children. I mean, we did sort of kiss, but since I had to move, we’ve always had this on and off relationship.” replied Lila. “I hope the dude speaks French.” murmured Nino. “Damian doesn’t. He’s always struggled with it, but don’t worry; I can translate for you. I am fluent in English.” Lila smiled, as Damian entered the room. Lila plastered the smile that won over the losers that carried her throne, batted her eyelashes, and watched as he walked up to the back of the class to Marinette. ‘What the hell!’

Marinette smirked as Damian camly walked towards her. She knew he was anything but. “So that’s where that went.” Damian spoke to her in English, looking at his Gotham University hoodie on his Angel, “I was planning on wearing that you know.” “Would you like it back?” Marinette questioned, as she started to lift it off, revealing black shorts and the beginning of a red tank top with yellow. Damian’s hand shot out and lowered the hoodie with a glare. “Who told?” he questioned. “Dick.” Mari answered, earning a growl.

Lila glared towards the back of the class, as whispers started to pepper around the classroom. ‘Since when does she know Damian and speak English?’ thought Lila. “What are they talking about?” asked Alya. ‘How am I suppose to know?’ Lila thought. Lila had only taught herself offensive words so that no one else could use them against her. “Dick.” she heard slip out of Marinette’s mouth. ‘Finally a slip up from Ms. Goody-Two Shoes!’ “Oh, it’s awful. She’s being so rude to him. She called him a dick.” lied Lila. “Lila, I-” began Adrian, only for Alya to stand up and shout, “What the hell, Marinette?”

“Excuse me, Ms. Cesaire. Is there a reason you have chosen to stand up and throw a tantrum?” asked Damian in perfect French. Alya stood still. ‘I thought- Lila said he couldn’t speak French.’ Alya thought, quickly glancing at her Italian friend. “Ms. Cesaire, I believe I asked you a question.” Damian continued. “I was only defending you! Marinette shouldn’t be using that kind of language against you!” she spoke, fully recovering from her shock that not only did Damian speak French, but he knew who she was. “I was unaware that you spoke English.” the young Wayne countered. “I don’t, but Lila does. You should remember her; she’s your childhood friend. She told me.” proudly stated Alya, pointing to her BFF, not noticing the Italian girl freeze. “Am I to understand that you are accusing Ms. Dupain-Cheng of offensive language without firsthand knowledge of the language itself and only relying on Ms. Layla Rossi’s words?” “I think your confused. Her name is Lila.” spoek up Rose. “As a proper business man,” began Damian, as he walked down to the podium, you make sure you know who you will be meeting. Layla Rossi: born in Italy, duel lingual in Italian and French. No other languages. Lives with her aunt and uncle in Paris. Parents have been deceased for five years.”

‘How-How could he know everything? He’s going to topple everything I’ve worked so hard for these past four years on!’ frantically thought Lila.

“Now that, that is out of the way-” spoke Damian, only to be interrupted. “You’re wrong!” shouted Mylene. “Yeah!” spoke up Sabrina. “Lila is the daughter of two Italian diplomats!” cried Rose. “She travels the world!” shouted Alya. “Layla Rossi lives with her aunt who works for TVi News and her uncle works under Gabriel Agreste as a photographer for his son, Adrien Agreste. I doubt she would travel the world seeing as her parents both dies in a plane crash. Also, I have never met Ms. Rossi in my life.” spoke the young Wayne heir. The room’s temperature dropped as everyone settled into their seats. “My father and I don’t lay down and take lies easily, Ms. Rossi. Lies spread to rumors and rumors can affect the stock and bonds of our company that is produced world wide. We can easily sue you.” Damina spoke, eyeing the teacher who exited the class. “Lila wouldn’t lie to us. She told us about how much fun she had growing up with you in the Wayne Manor.” spoke up Juleka. “Oh, and the galas!” cried Rose.

‘I don’t have time for this. My poor Angel has been dealing with these idiots for years.’ Damian thought before calling on her. “Marinette, can you please explain to the class why it is impossible for me to have known Layla Rossi during my childhood.” Damian spoke. Marinette smiled from her seat as all eyes rested on her. “You grew up with your mother and grandfather in another country and weren’t introduced to Bruce until you were eleven.” “correct.” he sighed, as the eyes slowly began to turn away from his Angel to the liar. “Where is your proof!” shouted Alya, “How do we know this isn’t a lie you both came up with?” “Alya!” whispered Nino, but only got the receiving end of a glare. “I brought you a copy of his birth certificate that I received from bruce, once she started saying she was childhood friends with him, but Layla said I was lying so you tore it up.” replied Mari, only for Alya to look at her offended.

“Can you explain what Marinette said in your private conversation that Li-Layla thought was offensive?” asked Nathaniel, raising his hand. “The only word I can assume she found offensive was ‘Dick’. My oldest adopted brother is named Richard. In English, we shorten the name to ‘Dick’ as a nickname.” Lila felt stares on her back turn into glares. “The only people in this room that can speak English are Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste.” concluded Damian.

Adrien felt a light shove on his left and found Nino glaring at him. “What?” Adrien asked. “Why didn’t you say anything?” Nino asked. “He went directly to her and spoke in a language most of us wouldn’t know. I wasn’t going to listen in on it.” answered Adrien. The room groaned. “How do you know Marinette?” asked Ivan. “Jagged Stone introduced us at one of the Wayne galas about four years ago. She came as his designer and my father was impressed by her work.” Damian responded, “She’s been visiting the Wayne Manor for the last three years during her summer vacations.” “Ah-ha!” shouted Alya, “That’s a lie! Her parents said she was in China visiting family during the summer.” “Wow, who knew people still checked on me.” Marinette said sarcastically. “Of course I would! We’re best friends. claimed Alya. “Since when? We don’t talk unless your yelling at me.” spoke Marinette, as she rolled her eyes. “But-” continued Alya. “Go ahead, check your phone for proof. When was the last time you called or texted me? Any of you?”

Nino glanced at his girlfriend as she began to sift through her phone and watch as her face fell. He peeked at her phone and saw the last call to Mari was two years ago. She quickly looked though her text messages for better results only to find a snarky comment two years ago, that had never been read. Nino looked up and saw people frantically looking through their phones as if proudly to state otherwise, but Marinette only rubbed salt in their open wounds. “See a true friend would know that I changed my number a long time ago.”

Sensing the shift in the room, Damian took command once more. “Marinette, since you have most likey heard everything from Dick and will be my date for the Wayne gala, you may return home.”He spoke, “There’s a surprise waiting for you at home.” He watched his Angel brighten immediately as she gathered her belongings. “I’ll see you soon, my Angel.” Damian whispered as she passed him, leaving the room.

Damian spoke of how the Wayne Gala was donating all it’s money to the children’s hospital there in Paris. It was something his father was very passionate about and how he had come to have so many adopted siblings. Again, Lila’s name was brought up, saying how she could help with the gala since she organized thing with Prince Ali and cleaning up pollution. Damian quickly shut down that motion. “Prince Ali works with children’s hospitals only. Prince Ali began this charity after his youngest sibling passed away at a hospital that didn’t have the resources they needed to care for his sibling, but you don’t have to take my word for it. Prince Ali will be at the Gala and you can ask him yourself.”

To say the young Wayne was exhausted was an understatement. ‘How could so many people be so oblivious? A quarterly board meeting is easier to deal with.’ he thought as he walked down the steps. “Wait!” shouted Adrien. Damian turned around to find Adrien Agreste rushing his way. “How could you do that to Lila?” Adrien questioned in English, “People get akumatized here in Paris over their feelings. She’s not going to learn anything if you and Marinette gang up on her!” “Oh, I’m very aware of akumas, seeing as how Marintte has almost been akumatized three times since you told her to take the high road.” countered Damian, “You spent all your time worried about a liar and what might happen, that you forgot about your friends!” Adrien could only stare at him in shcok. “But Marinette is our “everyday Ladybug”; she can handle it.” spoke the young model. “So, you hold Marinette on an equal pedestal to the heroine of Paris?” asked Damian. “Yes.” smiled Adrien. “While that may be flattering for some people, don’t akumas only go after those with hurt emotions: pain, anger, sadness, fear? That’s like telling me her pain and loneliness mean nothing to you! They may not leave bruises, Agreste, but lies hurt people’s emotions.” shouted Damian, causing Adrien to take a step back, “You’re pathetic.”

“Damian.” cooed a harmonious voice, causing the boys to look away from each other. People started to filter out of the school and were shocked to see their “everyday Ladybug” sporting black leather.

“You are not allowed to go shopping with Jason anymore.” Damian stated, walking over to her. Marinette smiled innocently and said, “But I made it for you.” tossing him his helmet. “You are going to kill me, my Angel.” he replied, before kissing her in front of the school. “Your stuff?” he questioned pulling away from her. “Alfred has already taken my things to the hotel.” Mari replied. “Well, how does a ride around Paris sound to you? We can head back at five to get ready?” Damian asked. “Sounds perfect.” She stated, before giving him a quick peck.

Adrien stared on at the shocking development. Marinette was dating him? What hadn’t she told anyone? “Ready my Angel?” Damian asked. “Ready as always, my gallant knight.” Mari replied, putting on her own helmet. Adrien clutched his book bag strap tighter. ‘how can she say that? I’m her knight! Well, Chat Noir is-was?’ The class watched as Marinette took off down the street on the back of the young Wayne’s bike. Many of them rushed over to the Dupain-Cheng bakery only to find it closed. How could it be closed? It was never closed!

Hawkmoth must have taken a sick day because so many emotions were running wild: doubt, rage, sadness, betrayal, but no one was akumatized. Lila busy trying to figure out how to spin this around in her favor but so many of her lies were exposed because of Marinette’s boyfriend. That was another thing that bothered her. How could that good-two shoes be dating her ticket to fame? Adrien was also at a loss on his emotions. He was upset and couldn’t contain it. match after match, he dominated Kagami, but her face read that he wasn’t in the match. She wasn’t his opponent;someone else was.

Adrien threw his book bag on the floor as he entered his room. “Alright, Kid. What gives?” asked Plagg. “I don’t know what your talking about.” Adrien mumbled, throwing himself on his bed. “Yeah, right. Ever since that Wayne kid showed up, you’ve been hissing. Is this about your Princess?” Plagg goaded. “No-Yes. i don’t know. Why would they do that to Lila?” Adrien asked his kwami. “I don’t think they planned to. From what I could hear, Lila started it by attempting to turn everyone against pigtails, only for it to backfire.” stated the God of Destruction. “But-” began the model. “That other kid tried to change the subject, but because your class felt the need to defend the liar with her own lies, she only ended up digging her own hole.” finished Plagg, causing his chosen to sigh, “Did you really think no one else would try to set her lies straight? Isn’t that what you wanted? To let others see her for the liar she is by themselves?” “I guess. Before it was just me and Marinette though.” Adrien replied. “And now the new kid-” Plagg started. “Boyfriend.” interrupted the model. “What?” asked the God of Destruction. “He’s Marinette’s boyfriend, Plagg. “He stated, sitting up. “So this is about your Princess. Seems like she found herself a Prince.” snickered Plagg. “No, he;s her knight. her ‘gallant knight’.” Adrien sassed. “It’s normal for your age group to be jealous of what you want and can’t have.” said Plagg, as he grabs a slice of Camembert. “I’m not jealous.” mumbles Adrien, “It’s just...I’m-Chat Noir is her knight or at least, I thought he was.” “Kid, you gotta make up your mind. First, she confessed to Chat and you turned her down to marry yourself. Then she said all that stuff when she went with you guys to the museum and you basically laughed in her face and told he it was a joke. A girl can only take so much before she looks for someone else.” stated Plagg, as he unwrapped another slice. “It’s not like that! She’s just-” began Adrien. “A friend. I know.” Plagg said, rolling his eyes. “How did no one know she was dating? her parents even covered for her by saying she was in China.” monologued the young Agreste, “She’s been leaving Paris for almost three years to be with this guy. None of us know anything about him other then he’s a Wayne.” “Do you even hear yourself, Kid?” asked Plagg, licking his paws. “I need some air. Plagg, Claws out!”

Chat Noir ran across rooftops hoping to clear his head and this weird feeling he had. ‘M’lady always knows how to cheer me up!’ he thought happily, ‘Maybe she’s at the tower!’ As he neared the Eiffel Tower, he noticed the restaurant light glowing. Chat slowed down and used his baton to view into the tower. he didn’t want to ruin anything. There in his magnified view was Damian on one knee, holding out a box to Marinette. Ice filled his veins as Marinette nodded and kissed him. His Princess was no longer his. Even more confused then when he had left, he returned home.

The next day, Marinette found herself surrounded by many of her classmates, apologizing for the way they had been treating her. Mari notices right away that the class was basically divided in half: those that listened to Damian yesterday and those that were still wrapped around Lila’s finger. Alya glared in Marinette’s direction. ‘How could they not be friends anymore? All of this was because she was jealous of Lila! Marinette just wanted Adrien to herself!’ she thought, but part of herself recalled Marinette kissing the young Wayne and wondered, ‘Was she really doing all this just for Adrien?’ Suddenly, the room quieted down. Alya turned and saw Lila in the doorway looking more scared then she had ever been. “Lila!” she shouted, “Come sit with me!” Lila smiled and strutted over to her with new found confidence. By the end of the day, the divide had only grown and Marinette was at the center of the chaos. Even Nino and Adrien had apologized to Marinette! Alya found she couldn’t stand her former friend’s new attitude and how everyone was now putting Lila down. Anyone who took Marinette’s side kept calling her “Layla”. She had enough.

“You need to grow up, Marinette.” Alya shouted, after the bell rang, signaling the day’s end. Marinette rolled her eyes, as she continued to pack her belongings. “I did, Alya. If i did’t I still would have been that same sniveling girl Laya threatened in the bathroom all those years ago.”Marinette stated, as she walked down the stairs. A collective gasps rang arounf=d the room. “You take that back! Lila would never do something like that!” countered Alya. “Oh, yes. You would know since you were such best friends before she ever told you she personally knew Ladybug’s identity, right?” smirked Mari. Marinette turned to the Italian girl and smiled, “Congratulations, Layla. You got what you wanted. you turned the class against me and helped me see that Adrien couldn’t grow a backbone to save his life.” Marinette could feel his gaze upon her. A knock rang through the room and suddenly everyone was aware of Damian Wayne. “Ready my Angel?” he asked. “Always.” Marinette smiled. As she moved to leave the room, Alya stoppes her. “How could you say that about Adrien?” Alya questioned, “You love him!” Alya had expected a lot of responses, but laughter wasn’t one of them. “I haven’t felt any romantic feelings for Adrien in years.” Mari giggled, but Alya noticed Adrien freeze out of the corner of her eye, “I prefer a man who can handle himself and to stand up for what’s right.” “Angel.” called Damian. Marinette maneuvered away from her frozen former bff. “Demon.” she called back. “I need to get you to stop hanging out with Jason.” Damian said, bringing her into his arms. “You know he loves Jagged’s music, just as much as I do.” Mari smiled, looking up at him. “You know he only wants you to sign his posters so he can sell them, since you never sign anything.” he counters. “Oh, I know. I started charging him $100 a signature.” Marinette replied. “That’s my girl.” Damian stated proudly, before kissing her in front of the class, flashing the new rock on her finger, “Let’s go, love. father is waiting.” “Is that a Chaumet engagement ring!” shouted Chloe. Marinette nodded, as Damian wrapped his arm around her waist protectively. “Thanks for being spineless, Agreste. you gave me an Angel.” he smirked, pulling her out of class. Adrien heard everyone asking what the young Wayne had said, but he could only feel the ice creeping in on him. Adrien broke away and headed out the door with a solemn face. As he took his place in his car, he couldn’t understand why the word Damian had said, gutted him. After all, Marinette was just a friend......right?

This is NOT a Chaumet engagement ring. I just got inspiration from it because of the design. It is a Sailor Moon engagement ring and can be found along on soulboundnyc.com

Almost

by the_sand_woman

"The saddest word in the whole wide world is the word almost.

He was almost in love. She was almost good for him. He almost stopped her. She almost waited. He almost lived. They almost made it."

~Nikita Gill

Marinette was an "almost" phenomenon. She was almost a past tense. She was almost a name whispered with caution. She was almost someone to not see tomorrow. But she found it's not her time yet. People needed her. Paris needed her. And it seems that Gotham does too.

or...

With the stress of the miraculous weighing heavy on her shoulders, Marinette spirals into a deep depression. Freedom is just a breath away as she looks over the ledge of the tallest city in Gotham. Before she can take the leap, a family of heroes show her what it means to fly.

OLD - Family Soul Bound Maribat ~1~

This is just an idea I have since there are a lots of soulmates are romatic and platonic stories so I thought of this idea, I don't know if this is my original idea or someone else’s so I introduce you to Family Soul Bounds Maribat

-From lovemidnighteclipse12 from Tumbler and MiFallen from Wattpad

~Master List~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone has a family, a soul family, often known as packs, markings, on their backs, representing each member of their family, their pack, these bonds are always there since birth of each new family member, parents, families or adults from the moment you are born feel warmth spreading across their bodies showing a new mark, a new member, the person's own mark are always on their chest , most people find their soul families at a young age because Governments and organisations try their best to get children with their soul bound family as soon as they can but some people find ways to stop the process of finding soul families...................

~~~~~~~~~

Marinette Dupain-Cheng or Fu now always knew Sabrine and Tom were not her parents or her pack she didn't have their marks and they don't have hers. Marinette's soul mark was a ladybug with scars on it's back when other people saw her mark they gave her sad looks because of the scars but the scars didn't bother Marinette one bit, what did was being forced to wear fake skin with Sabrine and Tom's marks when she wore outfits that showed her back, she hated it, hated the feeling of covering her true pack's marks, she hated the feeling and even worse her pack can sense it, she feels their sadness,their pain whenever she does and she in return feels sad having to hide their marks so Marinette always wore outfits that covered her back so then she didn't have to wear fake skin but she always ended up being forced to wear the fake skin and act happy faking it.

But ever since Lila Rossi came her life became hell, all her friends gone, Sabrine and Tom became more controlling over her, making her look perfect as she can, always having to strive for perfection, being a porcelain doll in the public eye, but broken inside, becoming gaurdian after Master Fu's death was hard on her she can't trust anyone, her class betrayed her, Sabrine and Tom aren't her pack, Fu's dead and Chat Noir sexually harasses her or Adrian Agreste she should say only yesterday she had taken his miraculous, Plagg the miraculous of destruction back, to the miracle box now fighting Hawkmouth alone............

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The batfam were worried about their little bug, they hadn't met them or anything but they could feel them covering their marks what made them feel like they rejected them, and they all hated it poor little Mar'i curls up every time and cry, they all hate seeing Mar'i cry, it breaks their hearts seeing their youngest of the pack cry but their all confused why there packmate reject them without meeting them, it made them all concerned because they all knew she was born into their pack so why do they reject them, the boys, Bruce and Alfred had decided that when they find their little bug, they going to have a long talk about covering their marks and get them to tell them why they cover their marks.

The whole family were in the bat-cave when they all felt it and Mar'i started to curl up crying

Mar'i-"why don't they want us papa"

Dick-"we don't know sweetie but when we find them we'll find out why okay"

Mar'i-"when will that be?"

Dick hated not being able to answer that

Kori-"soon sweetie" she picked up Mar'i and held her

Jason-"that’s it when we meet them I'm going to have more then, a few words with them when we meet" Jason was fuming at that point

Bruce-"Jason we don't know why they cover their marks"

Jason-"but they keep making Mar'i cry!"

Damian-"whoever this fool is should be given a lesson"

Tim-"I have to agree there, they keep hiding our marks B"

The atmosphere was tense

Bruce-"on another note we'll be going to Paris to look at an situation there and we'll be going to a charity gala there"

Dick-"what is the situation there, B?"

Bruce-"apparently there is a magical terrorist there, we're going to see and evaluate the situation"

Tim-"all of us?"

Bruce-"yes"

Chaos erupted through out the night at Wayne Manor

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When the Waynes arrived in Paris they all felt it they looked at each other

Selina smirked

Selina-”so this is were bug is”

Mar’i-”so we’ll find out soon?”

Dick-”yeah, we will”

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Marinette felt the bound closer than ever and thought one word ‘shit’

To be continued.............

Tim’s Secret Weapon pt. 12

I’ve been slightly obsessed with @ozmav ‘s Damian Wayne/Marinette Dupain-Cheng pairing as of late, and just saw a post that has inspired me more than anything else has in months, so I felt the need to write it

Summary- Tim has always seen the numbers floating above people’s heads, been able to perceive their threat levels with a single glance. After being a hero for so long he thought he was desensitized to seeing high numbers above people’s heads until Damian brings a new friend home.

Part 1

Part 11

Part 12(HERE)

Part 13

____________________________________________

Jason had started cackling as soon as Tim explained why he was cross, pulling the ring from his hand and tossing it back to its proper owner. Damian Bruce and Alfred were intrigued by the prospect by the fact Jason was predestined to be a miraculous wielder. Dick, on the other hand, was pouting at Jason being ‘officially more of a cat than him.’

“You’re not a black cat,” Tim snapped, using the door frame to stay upright, glaring at the stark white number over Jason’s head, “He may claim he’s all about destruction but it’s who he was made into not who he is at his core.”

“What?” Jason huffed, “You’re the one that said my number went up to 15! I’m a cat now, I’m leaving the birds to join Selina.”

“No,” He nearly growled in frustration, staggering over to the couch, “Adrian is the real cat here. At his core, he’s sweet and kind and trustworthy, but he also has chaos at his center. He can destroy a person he believes deserves it without a second thought, tarnish a reputation permanently with no remorse if he believed it was the best course of action, manipulate a person into behaving how he wants with precision and grace without anyone realizing that the ray of sunshine would be able to do so. He’s literally destruction. You aren’t like that Jason, not at your core. You’re a true holder, but you aren’t a Black Cat.”

The room was silent as he finally finished and he couldn’t help, but look around at their stunned faces with confusion. Even the Kwamis had frozen from where they had been whispering on the side table, glancing between each other and Tim.

“What?” He snapped, too tired to deal with anything else tonight.

“You’ve only just met Adrian,” Kim drew out, “And just spouted off stuff I never knew about the sunshine boy with such confidence I’m pretty sure you’re not lying.”

“What do you mean? Of course, I know that stuff, can’t you guys tell it too? That’s just what I can tell from observing if I really wanted to know anything important about him I’d have to do research,” He explained with a groan as he leaned against Dick’s shoulder.

Dick just looked down at him in amazement, “No Timmy, most people can’t tell that kind of stuff just from spending a few hours with someone.”

“Huh? You guys never acted like I was crazy before,” He pointed out looking at his brothers.

“I always assumed you researched our targets before we needed the information,” Bruce hummed, “We had meant to ask you how you knew some of the skills you had listed when you had never met the heroes before making the entries in your journal.”

“I mean I did look up some stuff, but isn’t most of that stuff common knowledge?”

Jason snorted, “I didn’t know Bruce spoke Portuguese before reading his journal entry, replacement. I can say with confidence that there’s no video footage of B or Bats speaking or reading Portuguese anywhere or any reason you should know that before I even kicked the bucket.”

“I…” Tim tried to think back, to why he knew this information, where he had put together the man had known so many languages.

“Tim,” Marinette piped up, “What languages does everyone in here speak?”

“French and English.”

His deadpan earned an eye roll from her, “No, I meant past that. Start with your family and then my team, tell me all the languages. Go.”

He was skeptical of what she was trying to do but decided not to question it, “All the bat speak Mandarin, Spanish, Arabic, and BSL. Bruce knows Romanian, Portuguese, Dutch, Cantonese, and Greek. Alfred speaks German, Italian, Japanese, Russian, and Polish. Dick speaks Romani, Romanian, Dutch, and Russian. Jason has Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Cantonese, and Russian. I can do Japanese, Romanian, German and Polish.

Damian knows Japanese, Korean, Cantonese, and is just short of fluent in Romanian.”

His eyes turned to the Parisian teens, ignoring the surprise at their extensive list of languages, “ Adrian knows Mardiran and Japanese. Chloe knows Japanese. Kim is fluent in Vietnamese and is nearing passable in German. Max knows Korean and Safan. Alix knows Ancient Egyptian and Arabic. Kagami knows Japanese and Mandarin. Viperion knew quite a bit of Italian but wasn’t quite fluent. Marinette knows Italian, is nearly fluent in Arabic and… actually, I’m not sure what the last one is, but it’s ancient, something close to Sino-Tibetan I think?”

Eyes flashed around the room, before settling on Tim.

“Seriously?” Tim groaned, “None of you knew that?”

Jason's eyes flashed to Damien, “Since when do you speak Romanian?”

He scowled, the tips of his ears burning, “It was going to be a surprise for Grayson, I was hoping to be fluent by his birthday…”

Marinette broke in before any of the brothers could make a comment, “Tim, Damien only practiced Romanian when he knew everyone was out of the house. Nor should you know about the Guardian Language.”

“Guardian Language?” He whispered, head too fuzzy for him to process more than that.

She winced a little, “When the role of Guardian was handed over to me, the language of the Guardians was basically downloaded into my head. It allows me to read the Guardian Grimoire and perform the spells within it to heal kwamis, fixing broken miraculous or create potions to allow them different abilities they don’t usually possess. Usually, there’s a lot of training to be able to deal with the new knowledge being shoved into their heads but my gaining of the guardianship was more than a little unorthodox so I had to deal with migraines for about six months after. I had to decode the secrets for myself even with knowing the language.”

“I don’t even know what the Guardian is,” Tim whispered as the truth set it, “I really shouldn’t know this stuff about you guys…”

“Another aspect of your power, no doubt,” Alfred cut in, “Hardly the worst thing in the world for a detective to have intuition-based knowledge of the people he’s looking up, hmm?”

Tim laughed, “Thanks, Alfred.”

The butler merely nodded, “However, I am fairly certain Master Tim hasn’t been truthful about how much sleep he’s gotten this week and a miraculous drain is dangerous even when well-rested, I suggest suspending this discussion until a proper hour?”

Damien gave him an innocuous look, “ You tried to lie to Pennyworth? Are you completely braindead.”

“Panicking over my secret being out means lots of comfort coffee,” He groaned back as he attempted to bury himself in Dick’s side.

“Go to sleep Replacement,” Jason huffed, as Dick pulled the other man to his feet. Zombie Tim's duty was something they all had plenty of experience in. It wasn’t long before he was stripped of his costume and sweatpants and an oversized tee pulled on over his bike shorts.

Tim barely registered the lights being turned off as he was bundled into bed, half asleep already.

When Tim arose the next morning he was surprised to see it was only 8 am, seven hours after when he remembered his brother’s getting him to bed. Typically, after the kind of crash, he felt last night he needed a solid thirteen hours of sleep and two cups of coffee to feel this alive again. His answer came from the tiny horse resting on the nightstand.

“Kaalki? What are you doing here?”

“Kwami healing,” She offered in an attempt to be nonchalant as she floated up in front of him, “ Tikki is best at it but every Kwami, barring Plagg, can offer some form of rejuvenation to those who need it. My way of healing is to replenish the energy that has been lost in a timely manner. It was the least I could do after causing you so much distress last night.”

Tim frowned and offered a flat hand for her to land on, “Don’t do that, there’s no blame on you or Marinette or anyone else. Accidents happen, and it’s not like there’s an instruction book on miraculous and metas.”

She fidgeted, “I believe you are correct but I still felt bad for causing such harm to befall you.”

Tim just shook his head, “Either way, thank you. I feel amazing right now.”

She smiled, “Perhaps if you hurry you can join your family for breakfast, I heard they were setting out to leave soon.”

He quickly pulled on his clothes and did his morning routine in the ensuite before entering the main room where his family froze in place as they were pulling on coats and shoes.

“What the fuck are you doing up?” Jason hissed, ready to force him back into bed.

“Kwami magic has its perks,” Tim defended, hands raised in surrender as Kaalki floated next to him, “I feel more awake then I have in years.”

Alfred grinned, “Ah yes, I remember how Duusu would help us relax after battles. Well come along then,

Marinette squinted at him judgingly, trying to figure out how he was allowed out by his family before Kaalki darted from his jacket over to Max’s. Instead, she just huffs and begins leading the entire group of heroes towards her parents’ bakery, Damien quickly falling in step to her left, glaring at Adrian who had fallen into step on her right.

“SO, replacement,” Jason drawled, dropping an arm around the short brother’s shoulders, “I didn’t get to ask last night cause you looked more zombie then me, but if I’m not a cat, what am I?”

“I don’t even know where to start with miraculous,” Tim huffed, pushing the older man away, “Where would I even start with which miraculous to give to you?”

“Well, how about we give you a starting point,” Adrian asked, turning to walk backwards so he could look at them with a twinkling smile, “Miraculous are broken into two categories, indirect and direct. Direct miraculous powers affect the target of the power directly like the Bee’s venom freezing someone, while the Indirect affect the world around the target, like the Horse’s teleportation. The Black Cat and Ladybug fall outside of the groupings as they’re both direct and indirect. Indirect users can’t use Direct miraculous effectively and can even have adverse effects of transforming too long and vice versa. So does Jason feel like a direct or indirect holder.”

“Indirect,” Tim started, finding the words just started flowing as he stared at the 11 swirling about over his brother’s head, “Jason’s cocky and more stubborn than the Blue Boyscout if you get him going, but he’s also loyal to a fault and filled with so much determination I’m not sure whether to be scared or impressed. No matter how angry he is at someone, or how much he thinks they deserve the consequences of their actions he will be there to protect them by any means necessary. He may talk tough and act stupid but he’s unbelievably wise with instincts unparalleled by normal humans when it comes to trust and how to get out of sticky situations. He can and will kill, but only if it’s the only option left to make it out of a situation alive.”

Jason scowled and pulled on the end of his jacket sleeve as he looked away, “Geez, rip me open why don’t you?”

“Hey, you asked,”

Marinette stared at him with a cryptic eye, “No, he’s right I can see it. I think I know what miraculous to give you.”

Tim’s attention fell away from the conversation as Jason tried to pry the newly found information from the young Guardian. Because that was the least of his worries.

Not when his eyes landed on vibrant blue hair, strikingly familiar, attached to a man sitting on the wall around the Seine, strumming his guitar absentmindedly.

“Found you,” Tim said, causing the man in front of him to smile up at him.

“That was quick,” He laughed, the thick gothic steel-colored 13 made his blue eyes take on a silver hue.

“It’s easy to spot such a high number when most don’t reach past six,” He shrugged.

“You and I aren’t very different, you know?” Steely grey 13 offered, looking back to his guitar.

“I think the masks gave that away,” Tim mussed, “I’m Tim.”

“Luka, Luka Couffaine,” Steely Grey 13, Viperion, Luka offered easily, “And I meant past the masks.”

“How do you mean then, Luka?”

The younger man looked up at him and waved a hand at the chair across from him, “How about you take a seat, Uccellino, and we can compare notes on what it’s like to be meta.”
