Old discord Idea I had
So I talked with people on discord a long time ago with this idea. I don’t remember who the people are but I forgot to post it on here. so here it is.
So I Had an idea not sure how it will work but this is it. Marinette and Dick are bio siblings and Mari is quite a few years younger than Dick. When their parents die they end up being separated Mari gets adopted by the Dupain-Chengs and Bruce takes in Dick. They agree to stay in contact somehow (mail, email, text, etc.). A few years later Mari became Ladybug is when Dick will notes her looking more stressed and tired. Dick would worry but Mari would wave it off as her new duty as class president and her getting more commissions. He would believe her but at the same time knows it isn't the full truth.
He finally will decide to find out what is going on when he starts seeing the same look in her eyes that the rest of his family has the look of someone who has seen too much. But he gets blocked every time he tries to find out what is going on and when he decides to just go to Pairs to see what's going on he finds out that there is a travel bane and can't go and not only that it seems the zeta tubes in and around Pairs are offline somehow.
 maybe Mari gets taken in by Tom and Sabine because of Gina? Like, she's friends with Haley or something, and she would've taken Dick too but he wanted to stay in Gotham to see justice done.
he goes to Tim or Barbara or both of them when he couldn't get in and find anything. I would believe he would have a better relationship with Jason than in cannon in the beginning since (I hope) he wouldn't blame Jason for taking Robin from him. Since he has Mari there to set him straight. 
but do you think he would go to one of them if he couldn't find anything on his own? and when they do you think that they would inform the rest of the family of what is happening in Pairs. what would Dick do when he finds out Mari is being bullied in school? would he be angry worried or something else?
I think Dick would definitely go to the others for help. He might start by asking Bruce about it, but if the JL shut off the zeta tubes I suspect Bruce will be like "sorry, I can bring your sister here but you can't go to her", and maybe he pitches that to Mari and she says she can't leave her commissions of something. So then Dick will go to his sibs, and he'll start doing stuff secretly, and I think that his sibs would help him. He might even enlist other friends/supers he knows, depending on what timeline you're using. And like. I'm pretty sure between him and his friends he'll find a way to sneak into Paris.
Is the travel ban just for supers or is it civilians too?
It would be for supers and any meta. I think that any metas in Pairs would have to leave till Hawkmoth is dealt with.
So what I'm hearing is that Dick could do something similar to what he did in YJ, and put together a circus act, and then he and anyone he decides to bring with him could sneak into France with Haley's or something...
ya, that could work and Mari could go to it without knowing Dick will be there. what if when Dick is there he sees an Akuma fight and during the fight Ladybug does something that makes Dick realizes who she is.
Maybe a type of flip or something with her yoyo that was their Mom's special move on the trapeze?
That would work! I mean, Tim pegged Dick as a Grayson by his quadruple somersault, Dick could def peg Mari over something similar. Especially if he was already kinda sus about the haunted look in her eyes and her obvious increase in stress.
ya, he would be sus but every time he would try to make the connection something would make it not fully connect and the veil that keep him from finding out would finally lift when he sees the flip that only a Grayson would know how to do and he would be questioning why he didn't make the connection sooner because he knows that she was somehow involved. maybe he thought she was one of the backup heroes. but now he can see how obvious Ladybug is his sister from what he has seen from her over the years this has been happening.
Later, when he finally gets the full story from her, all he can think is "fucking magic bullshit"
But would Bruce eventually find out what Dick did and what would he do? I can see Dick offering his and his friends to help Mari.
I think Bruce would find out eventually, but he would know that there's no way he could go to Paris safely. He's got too much anger for that to be safe. So instead he tries to get Dick to come back, and Dick is like "absolutely not", so then Bruce contacts Ladybug, and is like, "I'm sorry, but a bunch of young heroes violated your ban," but by that point, Dick and his friends have already talked to Mari and so she's like, "Thanks for the heads up Batman, but I already know and we've talked, they're fine."
ooo what would Dick do to Chat when he finds out how he treats her. always flirting and harassing her on and off the job.
I think for the sake of not getting akumatized he'd try not to get angry about it. Maybe start by saying, "Hey, look dude, you need to back off. What you're doing isn't okay, and this is why." And if that doesn't work he'll start running interference, just being in the way and third-wheeling. Whether or not Chat knows that Dick is LB's brother or if he thinks this new random hero is a rival, well, that's up to you. But I think that the minute Hawkmoth is done with Dick is gonna stop holding back, and if Chat's still harassing LB by then Dick's just gonna let him have it.
ya, I can see Dick doing that. I can't decide if Mari would let them be their hero selves in Pairs or if she would have them use a miraculous since no hero is supposed to be in Pairs besides miraculous users and if she does give them who gets what. (maybe he takes Tim with him. Idk if anyone else because the only other person I can think of that doesn't have powers is Roy and Idk if he would be good to take or not don't know much about him.)
Artemis could go, Tim and Steph could go, Roy...maybe? Like, it would depend on when he went, honestly, and I'm not sure there's a good time. Also, his storyline is a crazy mess because of timelines.
Zatanna could probably sneak in? Like, she's a magic user, yes, but that won't show up on any kind of test the Parisian authorities might run. And if they're already breaking the rules, well...  Also Z likes Dick and would therefore be willing to help however she could.
Zatanna could just portal in with her magic if there's not something blocking it
True! There might be tho if the JL shut off zeta tubes. They might have gotten Constantine to do something to contain magic.
Zatanna canonly has stronger magic than Constantine as far as I'm aware so he might not be able to do anything to stop her if the JL did get him to do something
Yes, Zatana is stronger, but Constantine has a wider range of skills Bc he goes further into dark magic
It would depend on how old Z is, I think. Idk the ages, but if she's a teenager I think Constantine would beat her just by experience.
Dick is already Nightwing
Oooo. In that case, Zatanna will probably be old enough to actually be in the JL, so in that case, she could maybe help Dick and his team disguise themselves or something but she probably wouldn't be able to actually go with that, that would mean going rogue.

Marinette and the Runaway Assassin
~
Marinette Grason and the Runaway Assassin
The first thing they could remember was always flying.
Their parents always told them that the first thing a Grayson ever did was fly.
Whether it be him tossing his sister in the air as she did flips, or flying on the low swing trapeze with his mother and father. they were born soaring.
Their family was the best of the best. Humans with the agility and grace of birds. Their family never stayed on the ground for long. Nothing could keep a Grayson on the ground.
Until they fell.
Their wonderful parents never flew again.
~
Dick was trying his best to keep it together, for his sister, but the pain was almost too much. He was just 16. What was he supposed to do now? He wasn’t of age to care for Marinette and he certainly didn't have much money at all.
It was two days after the fall that killed their parents. Dick had cried himself to sleep, so full of grief, stress and uncertainty the night before. He wanted, no, needed to keep his sister safe, but what were they supposed to do? Live on the street? Marinette deserved better than that. Not to mention her schooling. There was just so many things he needed to think about he had no idea if they’d ever even survive -
A knock sounded at the door, startling Dick from his thoughts.
“Excuse me,” a deep voice came from behind the door, “I would like to speak to a mister Dick Grayson.” With those words the pit inside his stomach grew. It was probably some social worker coming to separate him from the only family he had left.
Dick opened the door and saw a large man with dark hair and blue eyes in a suit, “If you’re here to take me and my sister to some orphanage, leave now. It’s not going to happen. Get lost.” Dick, the normally polite boy, ended his statement by quickly closing the door.
“Wait!” The man jumped in, using his foot to jam the door. “I’m not a social worker. Mister Grayson I presume?” Dick just narrowed his eyes and nodded his head, “My name is Bruce Wayne. I was hoping to come to an arrangement that would greatly help you and your sister.
Dick had the urge to scoff, but he let the man, Bruce, continue.
“You see, I lost my parents at a young age as well. I want to make you and Miss Marinette my wards. You two would both get to live in my manor with your own room and have all the things you two would need to live a happy life. And you would not be separated. This can all happen effective immediately, as soon as you say the word. So, What do you say?”
This was insane. It was everything he and Mari could need. They could lead a normal, safe, and good life. There were so many goods that could come of this and yet…
Graysons are never tied to the ground my little robin. We must never be afraid to spread our own wings and soar. We are free spirits and we fly our own way.
With only that thought in his head, his ressove hardened.
“While I appreciate the offer Mister Wayne, I’m afraid I have to decline.” He began, “My parents used to say that we should never let ourselves be tied down. They were free-spirited and loved to travel. I want my sister and I to continue their legacy.”
Bruce looked a little shocked at this, and also a bit put out., but he quickly covered it with a determined look of his own.
“I see. If I cannot assist with housing, please let me help in any other way possible. Money is no issue, I can promise you that.” Bruce looked so ready to help them. And hell, if they couldn't use the help.
Dick was at a loss for words, “I- Mister Wayne- I can’t thank you enough!” Marinette would get to have the life their parents would have wanted for her. He didn’t have to worry about money any more. They could be free and go where the wind would take them. This flood of relief he felt did ease his grief a little for only a moment. It was one weight lifted off his shoulders.
“It’s the least I could do Mister Grayson.” He nodded, looking a bit relieved himself.
“Please, call me Dick Mister Wayne.” At that Bruce’s mouth quirked upwards the tiniest bit.
“Only if you call me Bruce.”
~
Over the next few years, Dick and Marinette went everywhere imaginable, traveling with the circus.
Eventually they decided to travel at their own pace. Marinette instided they spend more time in their favorite countries. They spent a few months in each, both gathering a love for each culture and language. Marinette especially took a bit of every country with her, absorbing each like a sponge.
Without the circus to keep them active in their travels and with barely any means to keep themselves protected, Dick and Marinette accumulated a mesh of different fighting styles. Neither ever truly mastered one, but both fought in a way very specific to them.
~
Currently somewhere in Italy, the two were waiting for one of their mentors to arrive for a meeting.
“Duckie!!” Marinette, now nine, ran to her brother with that particular spark in her eye, “Duckie! Guess what!”
Dick, smiled a little at the familiar nickname, “What’s up Nettie?”
Marinette jumped up and down excitedly. “Look what I can do!”
The small girl smiled and ran a little ways into the field nearby and did three handsprings to the shock, and pride of her brother.
“Good job Marinette,“ A voice that was not Dick‘s called from behind them, “I’m glad to see that you are improving well.”
An overall average looking man in his late 30’s wearing a firm, yet warm expression walked towards them.
Their mentor, Malachi Dobraski.
“Uncle Chi!” The Marinettw siblings voiced, running to him.
Malachi’s mouth turned upwards at the sibling’s outburst. “Yes, yes I have finally arrived. You two are, of course, ever so humbled to be in my presence.” There was a stretch of silence before the three burst out in laughter.
“Wonderful to see you two as always.” He said as he bent down to give Marinette a hug.
“So what did you need Malachi? You never call meetings so early in the month.” Dick said as he turned to face him.
Malachi hummed in an impressed manner, “Very astute Richard. I asked you here today because I wanted you to meet a friend of mine I had mentioned earlier. Gina, If you remember.”
At the mention of the woman Marinette perked up, The one who travels all around the world like us? We really get to meet her?” She topped off her questions with a wiggle of excitement.
“We’ll have to see about that Nettie.” Dick spoke fondly as he smiled at his sister’s antics. He then turned his attention to Malachi, “Will she be in town soon? You’re rarely one to throw out praise for no reason and you’ve spoken highly of her in the past.”
“She is a lady well deserving of my praise, Richard. To answer your question, yes. Ms. Gina will be in town Thursday evening.” their mentor said with another small grin.
Dick hummed while tapping his chin, “That’s about two days from now. Unfortunately me and Mari probably won’t be able to meet with her right away. We’re tied up until Saturday I believe. Will she be in town for long?”
“Gina is a free spirit, so it’s hard to say. However she has been interested in you two since I mentioned I was taking students again. I expect she’ll stay long enough to meet you.”
“That’s great!” Dick said, as cheerful as ever, “That settles it then.”
“Yay! We get to meet aunt Gina!” Marinette exclaimed, jumping up and down.
Instead of correcting his sister, Dick just shook his head with a laugh. Why does everyone we hear of instantly become family?
~
Marinette sat at a tall table in a quiet cafe. Her tiny legs swung eagerly underneath her as she hummed to herself. Her brother was up at the counter ordering their drinks. She was sketching, or trying to. It was really hard to focus when she was so full of jitters.
Today was the day they were supposed to meet Ms. Gina and while Marinette was excited, she was just as, if not more, nervous. She has always been this way with new people.
————————
That is the end of what i have written BUT NOW the outline:
Section One
Dick is older in this 16/17
Mari is 5 or 6
They grow up with their parents, until they die, again.
Dick is old enough to be emancipated/take custody of Mari
(Bruce didn’t adopt them but he helped Dick get emancipated and gave them loads of money)
Their parents were free spirits and loved to travel
Dick decides they should keep that alive.
The two stay with the circus traveling for around a year
And they continue to travel for 1 or 2 years
They meet Gina
Dick kinda wants to settle down Gina recommends Paris
They go to Paris
They get an apartment (thank you plot convenient Bruce money)
(she’s around 10 or 11 now. He’s 19 or 20 now)
Dick wants Mari to make friends or get a feel for regular school so she goes to FD
Section Two
Separately, Damian and the league are in turmoil (the coup happens)
Thalia might die Idk
Damian, not knowing what else to do, flees to Paris?
Tom and Sabine have always wanted children but were never successful
They find this aggressive child on the streets of course they take him in
Damian would grumble about their ‘lower status’ but would of course be secretly grateful and surprised at the unconditional love and care he receives from T and S
Section THree
Back to Mari
Being raised by Dick, she learned to be true to herself and also headstrong
She takes no crap from Chloé
(She eventually learns of her situation with her mother and they become less aggressive towards each other)
(she also learns a lot of different skills and fashion things)
Section Four
Damian arrives at FD
(He’s like 10 or 11 Mari is like 11)
Damian and Mari are both ahead of the curriculum (Both home schooled) same class
She is her kind self, doesn't know anyone else well and Dami is another new kid.
They stick together out of a sort of necessity
He’s cold at first but (go figure) he softens for her eventually
They slowly grow closer as friends
Dick becomes another behaviour mentor and Brother esq figure to Dami
Dick also sees Daminette’s in love right away
He teases Mari about it
Bada Boom they're 13 now
Section Five
Miraculos canon GO
Mari gets ladybug Dami gets cat
Mari doesn't get a crush on Adrien (the gum incident doesn’t happen because Chlo and Mari are on better terms)
Mari and Dami both immediately recognize each other in costume
Mari’s outfit is black with red detailing sans her cape/glider that’s full red with the five black spots. Has deep red boots that go up to the knee. Her ribbons are longer and can detach to use as a makeshift ribbon dance things (she also goes by Ladybird instead of Ladybug)
Damian’s outfit is his assassin outfit but black and tan undertones with cat ears (his pupils don’t change to slits) Damian goes by Leopard
Dick notices a change immediately He confronts Mari, She caves and tells him too
(She consequently reveals Damian’s Identity as well. No one could have that kind of chemistry with Mari that quickly)
He signs her up for many martial arts classes (She already had training in a few, picking up a lot from her travels)
Damian also helps train Mari in some ~Assassin Skills~
Basically, they’re bad asses.
The only thing stopping them from defeating Hawkey boy quickly is the fact that they can’t find where he is
Section Six
Moving on, Salt
Lila happens
Lila still sets her sights on Adrian (he’s got money at this point Damian is just a baker's boy to Lila.
Lila isolates the two from the rest of the class, even more so than they already were
Damian thinks the class are even bigger idiots
Lila is still an awful person and wants to make both Dami and Mari’s live miserable
Lila tries to go to Dick about Mari “bullying” her
He laughs in her face (he choses laughter instead of seething anger. thanks Hawky)
Lila then tries to get through to Tom and Sabine about Damian
This time it works, they have less reason to trust Damian (and he was also a major prick when they first took him in
(this happens over a year or so. Lila slowly gaining the trust of the class and Tom and Sabine)
The environment gets very toxic Dami and Mari decide to leave the school and go to online schooling (like at college level)
Section Seven
Time skip. They are 16 now
The two have had feelings for a while, they now realize them
Dami is less emotionally stunted, having both Dick and Mari around (Tom and Sabine too but they kinda suck now) so he doesn’t panic much
Mari is full panic mode
Dick is just in the corner all smug-like. (“you didn’t know you loved him? I’ve known this for years”)
Que pining
Lots of pining
There’s some angst, Tom and Sabine are negligent towards Damian (not mean but still neglectful)
He ends up staying with Dick and Mari more often than not
Eventually they both confess after a particularly rough akuma battle (the one where mari becomes the guardian?)
Both of them almost watched the other die. That was too heartbreaking for either of them to not confess
So they are together now.
It was an easy transition, they were already married pretty much
They’ve already figured out who Hawky boy is. They just need evidence
They get evidence. They also discover Lila was working with him
They take care of the Hawkmoth situation
Section Eight
Everything is good now right? Wrong
Batman Finally goes to Paris once Hawky is defeated,
(he kept in touch with Dick all these years and knew what was going on, {He practically became their “uncle Bruce”} He only stayed away cuz Hawkmoth)
When Damian sees Bruce visiting Mari’s House he freezes,
Mari: “what's wrong Dami?”
Dami: *whispers in her ear*
M: “He’s your WHAT???”
D; *whispers more*
M: “I- You- Um- WHAT”
D: *walks up to Bruce* “Hello, I know this is an odd way to meet but I am sure you know of Thalia Al’ Ghoul.” *B nods wairily* “Yes, well, I am your son. And unfortunately hers as well.”
“Yes, I’d be perfectly happy to do a blood test.”
Dick and Mari are shook
“Damian, You must come to live with me in Gotham”
Dun
Dun
Dunnnnnn!!!!!
End Part One
Again I am sincerely sorry I was not able to complete this story in time. Like I said before, I will (maybe/probably) be finishing this and planning a part two! I hope you enjoyed! (even though it’s the first fanfic i’ve written)

"Little brother?"
For Maribat March 2021 day 17 Prompt Court of Owls.
For Maribat March 2021 day 18 Prompt Protect.
I hope you all like this monstrosity of a fic.
Ever since their parents died, Morjianna knew the Court of Owls would be after her little brother, because he is who they call the Gray Son. So, what does she do? Obviously she, with the help of Alfred Pennyworth and a street kid (that she ended up bringing back to Bruce's with her) named Jason Todd, faked not only her own death but also her little brother's in order to keep him safe. While she had been her father’s only daughter, Dick was her parents’ only child together and as such meant more to the Court of Owls and she had promised her Tata and her Ama that she would keep him safe even if it meant her own life was forfeited in the process.
Alfred Pennyworth had had new identities drawn up for them both, making sure to keep their relationship as siblings intact. Jason Todd supplied the names of a dead couple, Omar and Nadia Bitar, who were about the right age to have two children and had no living relations in the states. The two had lived a quiet life and had kept out of the public eye, meaning no one knew anything about them.
Morjianna and Richard became Harriet Marie and Dexter John Bitar, with their dark complexions and dark hair they could pass as Egyptian. She began wearing her hair in very tight braids to achieve whimsically wavy hair to help her fit into the role she was playing now. She spent the night researching all she could in Mr. Wayne’s library, enlisting the help of Jason Todd while her baby brother was preoccupied with helping Alfred Pennyworth in the kitchen.
Morjianna had taken to calling her baby brother Dex, while he called her Marie, and had asked Jason to call her Harriet or Harri. Richard had taken to being called Dexter like a fish to water, and had taken to calling his big sister Marie because Harriet was just too weird for him to call her. The siblings had quickly accepted Jason into their circle, knowing that they owed him more than they could ever repay him.
Alfred had taken to helping the three, giving them advice when they needed it. He had adopted the role of guardian and grandfather in a single breath when he saw the three looking at him with love in their eyes.
---
Harriet Marie, which is how she signed all of her assignments, sat in the Bat Cave idly watching the cameras when a flash of yellow eyes appeared in one of the cameras between Robinson Park and the Iceberg Lounge.
“Little Blue, Little Red. Parliament incoming. Between Toxicodendron and the Polar Ice Caps. You’re located closer to Toxicodendron than the Polar Ice Caps, please get there and alert me when you’ve arrived.”
Harriet Marie pulled on her domino mask before standing up. She pressed a kiss to Alfred’s cheek before going over to her locker and pulling out her suit. She muted her comm to let Alfred know what she was planning. “I’ve got to go and intercept some owls. Keep an eye on Dad, Dex and Jay for me.”
Harriet Marie pulled on her suit, a black suit with a blue bird across her chest with red finger stripes on either arm and a purple section where the blue and red mixed, before grabbing a pair of escrima sticks and their sheath. She slid the sheath on and shimmied until it was comfortable before sliding the escrima sticks into place. She quickly braided her hair back to keep it out of her face before unmuting her comm. “Kingfisher is heading out for the night.”
“Be careful.” The Bat’s tone was gruff but full of concern.
“Always.” Kingfisher chirped back with a smile on her face. She walked over to the rest of the vehicles stored in the Cave and threw her leg over a blacked out Dodge Tomahawk affectionately named Black Beauty. She threw a smile at Agent A before turning on the bike and zipping out of the Cave.

Marnie Kanté woke up one day and knew only that she had a little brother. She had woken up in a hospital in Nice, France with no memories of her life before that moment but she had a hand held in her hand. The hand was rough in the way that a programmer’s is but still soft in all of the ways that mattered, and it reminded her so much of her little brother’s (or was it brothers’) that those were the first words she spoke in that hospital room. “Little brother?”
She heard a gasp before a voice shouted for someone, she wasn’t sure who, and suddenly there was a swarm of people around her.
Marnie was grateful for the boy who held her hand, and for the boy’s parents. They had taken her in after she’d been released from the hospital with no memories of before she woke up. The Kantés had given her a family when she couldn’t remember her own and had treated her like their own. However, shortly after Marnie had officially been welcomed into the family, Mr. and Mrs. Kanté started fighting every night, and not too long after that they got a divorce and their family of four was a family of three again.
Marnie currently attended a middle school, they called it collège in France, in the same class as her little brother Max. Their main teacher was kind but she looked down on Marnie because Marnie wouldn’t bow down to the resident Queen Bee.
Marnie and Max were so focused on their work that they barely noticed when Mlle. Bustier handed out permission slips. The siblings exchanged a look before Max leaned over their desk to nudge Kim to ask him what it was about. “Hey, Kim, what’s this about?”
“We need parental permission to go on a field trip. Chloé’s Dad’s footing the bill because Chloé wants to go so we’re going.” Kim responded while stuffing the sheet into his bag.
“Where are we going?” Max asked, confused as to why they needed permission to go on a fieldtrip. All of their previous field trips they’d just stuck around France.
“Somewhere in America. I think it’s on the East Coast.” Kim shrugged dismissively and looked back to the front of the room, signalling the end of the conversation.
---
Marnie clutched Max’s hand tightly in her own, her bag in her other hand, as they followed the rest of their class to the hotel they’d be staying in while they were in Gotham. Marnie was glancing around anxiously, although some part of her deep inside was vibrating with happiness, as they walked across the parking lot.
“We’re okay Mar.” Max whispered as he squeezed her hand. “I’m right here next to you.”
Marnie nodded and let out a deep breath. “Thanks, Little Brother.”
The two walked into the hotel lobby and saw missing child posters. Plastered on the wall behind the reception desk were missing child posters, some new and some old although there was one that drew their attention. It was of a girl, named Harriet Marie Bitar, and the photo looked like it could be of Marnie, but the Kanté siblings knew that there were seven other people walking around with their faces at any given moment in time. Besides, Marnie had three horizontal scars across her throat and three nearly identical scars hiding within her mess of hair and the girl in the picture didn’t have them.
It totally didn’t mean anything, did it?
---
The Kanté siblings were standing in the middle of their class in the lobby of Wayne Enterprises when their tour guides appeared out of seemingly nowhere. Their tour guides were a pair of boys who couldn’t have been any older than thirteen and eleven with black hair and blue eyes. However, the older boy had darker tan skin and something in Marnie longed to wrap her arms around the boy.
While Marnie was looking at the boys and taking them in, they were taking her in in return. She just looked so similar to their big sister but they knew that the chances that she was Harriet Marie were slim.
Max could tell something was going to happen in Gotham but he wasn’t sure he wanted it to happen.
---
The tour guides had just led the class into the cafeteria and they had all just sat down to lunch when Marnie was suddenly back on her feet. She put herself between her little brother and the danger. Without Marnie knowing how, she caught a bolt which had shattered a nearby window and had alerted the rest of the staff to the danger. Her brown eyes hardened into an expression that Marnie had never worn before.
Their tour guides, brothers named Dexter and Jason, had disappeared the instant the bolt shattered the window, presumably to go and alert Mr. Wayne.
Masked vigilantes crashed through the window moments after two individuals with yellow eyes crashed through.
Marnie dropped the bolt she was still holding and fell to her knees at the sight of them although all she could say was “those dumb owls.” Marnie turned to look at Max, at her Little Brother, and smiled. “You wanna do me a favour and not tell Mom what I’m about to do?”
“Anything for you Mar.” Max had always looked up to his big sister and knew that what she was about to do was important.
Marnie nodded and turned back to the quartet fighting. She grinned a steely grin and let out a whistle. “Little Blue. Little Red. Go get the Bat. Those two are mine.” Marnie seemed to shake out of her skin and the two masked vigilantes knew they were looking at their big sister as she stood up. The two vigilantes nodded and distracted the Owls long enough for their big sister, their Marie, to sneak up behind them and take over.
Bluebird sent Robin to fetch the Bat, his eyes stuck on his sister. He had never stopped searching for her, not since she hadn’t responded after he’d gotten Jason and himself safely into the park. Bluebird kept his eyes on the fight, watching his big sister as she efficiently knocked out the Owls. He could barely stop the snarl from appearing on his face as he watched another boy wrap his big sister in his arms.
---
Harriet Marie looked up at the man who’d taken her in after her parents were killed, at the man who was her dad, and felt the tears well up in her eyes. “Dad.”
“Harri.” Bruce looked at his daughter and opened his arms.
Harriet Marie rushed into his arms and wrapped her arms around him. “I’m so sorry that I didn’t listen to you.”
“I’m sorry that I couldn’t protect you.” Bruce whispered it into his daughter’s hair.
Max looked at his big sister and was happy that she had found her family but was also sad because now she wouldn’t need him any more.
“Dad,” Harriet Marie pulled away from his chest and smiled at him, “you need to meet someone.” Harriet Marie looked at Max and motioned him over. “Dad. You need to marry his, our Mom, so that I don’t lose another little brother.”
Bruce laughed and shook his head. “You won’t lose him. I promise.”
---
Harriet Marnie, Dexter John, Jason, and Max watched as their parents got married. Harriet Marnie and Max stood in as their mom’s Maids of Honour while Dexter John and Jason stood in as their dad’s Best Men. They were overjoyed because instead of destroying one family to build another back up, they were creating something entirely new.
Harriet Marnie would always be thankful for her training coming in to protect her little brothers, but she would never forgive the Court of Owls for what they did, and the moment Max had the proper training under his belt she would do what had to be done to protect not only her little brothers but also her family.

The Lost One
Marinette is Bruce's bio child that was kidnap when she was three.
Her mom died in childbirth.
Batman was able to find her kidnapper but he was died and Mari was no where to be found. Half way across the world Mari is found by a baker couple while she was wondering around Pairs looking for daddy.
The Parisienne police force were not able to find out who her parents were caz she didn't know her dad's name and they never thought of looking at the missing person reports outside of France and Bruce lost all trace of her after she was took out of the state, but he never stopped looking hoping someday he would find her again.
The only thing Mari has form her farther is a one of a kind locket that has "My most beloved daughter M.W. daddy loves you always." carved inside of it.
The rest of the bats never knew much about her caz Bruce would never talk about her or use her name and she was took before he took anyone in. they only knew what Alfred would tell them about her and he would only refer to her as “the young Miss” and they never saw a pic of her. The only pic of her that Bruce hasn’t hidden away is the one he cares on his person.
So the rest of family end up meeting her before Bruce and they all adopt her as their sister before they even find out that she is their lost sister.
They end up meeting her when she is on a class trip to Gotham with her class. She meets Tim first at a coffee shop after she finds out the hotels coffee pot is broken and her class left her behind at the hotel and they end up ordering the exact same coffee.
They end up talking while waiting on there coffee and Tim finds out how her class has left her behind and how she in a hurry to get to them put she really need a cup of coffee so stopped here since it is on the was to were she is going. When he finds out she is from the class that he and Dick is suppose to be giving a tour of Wayne Enterprise he offers to escort his knew coffee sibling there
The next the batboys she meets is Dick who is worried caz this teacher left a student her in Gotham and is not even worried about her. Not only that he can also hear everything her class is calling her and the teacher is doing nothing to stop the obvious bullying that is happening to this student even if said student is not here. So he decides to call Tim and hope he is still in the area of their hotel and can swing by to hopefully see if she is still there. When Tim picks up and Dick tells him what going on he ends up telling him he already found her and how he found her and tells him that they’re on their way and they be there soon before hanging up. Dick was relived that the girl was alright and on her way with his brother.
When Dick first saw her when she walked in to the room the first think he noticed was how here smile lit up the whole room, but as soon as she saw her class her smile was gone as she shrunk into her try to make herself smaller as she shuffled slightly behind Tim like she was trying to hide. The two brother exchanged glances at that and they both agreed something was wrong with this class and they were going to find out what and if they just happen to adopt Mari as their new sister by the end of the tour no one need to know.
The next she meets is Jason as Red Hood after her class left her behind again but this time at the restaurant they went to for dinner. It was already getting dark and she was lost caz her phone die during dinner and end up cornered in an allay by two men and after she took them down she felt someone touch her shoulder and out of instinct she graded the offending hand and flipped the person over her shoulder. Once she realized who it was she was horrified with what she did and keep apologizing for what she did. Hood literally had to cover her mouth just so he could get a word in to tell her its fine and to find out why she was out so late. An when he found out what happen he was not happy and takes her to her hotel if he just happen to adopt her to after he told the family what happen and then heard Dick’s and Tim’s account of what happen with the class earlier that day no one needed to know. And if Bruce’s heart shatter when he heard that name again no one need to know caz he knew it couldn’t be her and if he told Damian watch out for the girl the next day when the class is visiting his school without saying her name and left without letting anyone say anything else no one need to know why.
The next she meet is Damian when the class is visiting Gotham Academy to see how American schools are like and each of the French students end up paired with a student of the Academy to fallow around for the day and if Marinette just so happens to end up paired with Damian no one needs to know why. Thought out the day she somehow is able to slide into his cold heart and becomes someone he believes is acceptable person he is willing to let in and protect no one needs to know.
During the second half of the Wayne Enterprise tour after the class has visited Gotham Academy, Dick and Tim leads the class into a room caz Bruce was wanting to talk to them about the dangers of Gotham and how no one should be left on their and about the other stuff he has heard about the class. But someone trips Marinette on her way in the room and she ends up falling on the floor but during her fall her necklaces falls off and ends up bouncing up to Bruce's feet and opening up. Bruce seeing this but was not able to see who tripped her or get a get a good look at the girl who was tripped before she fell goes to pick up the necklaces but when he gets a good look at it he freezes because there is only one necklaces like this in the world and he could only hope that she was who he hoped beyond hope she was. So with an almost unnoticed trembling hands he picked up the necklaces and walkover to the girl who was now sitting on the floor while her face was still facing away form him. When he final reached her he can tell she is starting to panic when she realizes that her necklaces around her neck anymore. So he deices to call out a soft miss to her and when she turned around and he finally got a good look at her face it took every bit of self-control he had not to break down right there. Because he new that face even if it was older and he hasn't seen it in person in many years he would never forget it. There right in front of him was his little girl.
When she first hears his voice she could help but think she knows that voice but she doesn't quite remember where she has heard it from. So she turns around with an confused expression and sees a pair of black slacks that she follows up to a suit jacket and then when she finally reached he man's face the first thing she noticed was his eyes; she knew those eyes. They're the same eyes she sees every morning in the mirror staring back at her. Those eyes still haunt her dreams. Those are the eyes she only remember seeing in one other person and she never thought to see again. Those are the eyes of her farther and that meant that this was her dad. The man that she remembered was always their for her and always tried to show he loved her even though he didn't show it like most people did. She could feel tiers start to form in her eyes as she looked at him as she whispered an all most inaudible “daddy.” But she could tell he hear her when she saw his mask cracked and eyes started to over joy and gain a slight shin to them.
Bruce barley caught what she said but when he registered what she called him he could not stop the absolute ecstasy that over came him. She remembered him she was so young when she was took but she still remembered him. but when he saw tires starting to form in her eye he could not and would not hold back damn the people around them this is his little girl and she needed him. So he got down on one knee and put her into his firm embraced while still keeping a firm hold on the necklaces in his hand and let her cry in his arms for the first time in what felt like forever while he tried to keep himself from breaking down. He could tell that his sons Dick and Tim were confused as they tried to clearing everyone out the room they were in, but he didn't pay them any mind his whole focused was on his little girl in his arms as he tried reassure himself this is not a dream and she is real.

Angel with Blue eyes
Damian lost a bet with his brothers and has to work as a bartender for a month. It was more of an annoyance than anything else. Damian got through the month with very few incidents, until the last day.
Damian's last day as a bartender was like the others, boring. That was until a black haired women walks in. The women has bright blue eyes that seem as if they're glowing. Her presence alone demands attention. As Damian scanned the room, he saw that everyone's attention was on the women.
The women walked over to him, sat down, and ordered an Angel shot with lime...
That made Damian freeze for a split second.
Damian was taught some helpful phrases in order to be a bartender, even just for a month.
-A Neat Angel shot means escort to vehicle.
-An Angel shot over ice means call an Uber or some form of safe travel.
-An Angel shot with lime... Call the police.
Damian poured water into a shot glass with a slice of lime. He handed it to the women, then exuded himself to take a phone call.
Damian called commissioner Gordon, he had no idea why the women wanted the police called but figured better safe then sorry. When Gordon answered the phone, Damian simply said that a women ordered an Angel shot with lime, he then told Gordon the location of the bar before hanging up.
The police arrived at the bar a couple of minutes later. They asked everyone to leave. The women with bright blue eyes stayed seated. As the police walked towards the women she collapsed, falling out of her seat.
When to women collapsed her coat moved, exposing new and old scars. Some of the scars were currently bleeding.
An ambulance was called to take the women to the hospital. After the women was stable, the hospital pulled up her medical files. The nurse saw the women’s file, freezing before gestured for the police to come take a look.
The women’s name?
Marinette Dupain-Cheng, age 21, a missing person for the last 8 years, presumed dead
______________________
Angel shots are a real thing. If you feel unsafe at a bar, go ahead and order this form your bartender.
Hawkmoth happens when Marinette is 10-13
Marinette is kidnapped into the guardian temple for “proper” training.
I am now going to write this, but Im stuck on something. Please go vote on my poll other wise the storyline is going nowhere.

A part 2 idea for 'Birds of a Feather' but only IF you wanna do it. Dick is visiting his sister a few months later, DNA was tested for both and confirmed, an Akuma (Lila) attack happens and is targeting Mari, Dick runs off to become Nightwing but Tikki appears and needs his help (this is how they learn of each other identities), he becomes a 'ladybug', wins the fight but watches in horror as Lila pushes Mari off the high building they're on. He saves her though but both are shaken and crying.
I’ll Catch You When You Fall
Previous
It was official then, he had found his baby sister and Dick couldn’t be happier!  They had taken a blood test just to be safe after the whole circus event, and he was so happy that she was safe and that she was saved before even worse things could happen to her after she had been taken away from him.  Tom and Sabine seemed like absolutely amazing parents, especially because they said that he could eat as many of the baked sweets as he wanted once the bakery was closed.  It would be terrible to just throw away all of those amazing treats.  His family were also very happy that they had found each other, it was a very emotional time to say the least.  
It had been about four months since their reunion.  He had asked her if she wanted to return with him and since he was a legal adult with a well paying job, she could live with him.  She said that she couldn’t as she had built strong ties and memories here.  She loved Tom and Sabine and saw them as her parents and she wasn’t ready to leave them yet.  He understood and Dick had made sure to keep daily contact with her.  So here he was, about to surprise his baby sister with his return to her city.  He was practically skipping down the streets when he froze at the sound of a deafening explosion.  He knew what this meant, it was time to get the proof they needed that Paris was in trouble and needed the Justice League’s help.
He couldn’t get into his Nightwing suit as he was only to do recon—though he brought it just in case—but that didn’t mean that he couldn’t help the people around him.  He ran as quickly as he could toward the explosion in hopes of being able to evacuate the people in the area.  The fighting and explosions seemed to get worse, and all Dick could think about if his little sister was okay.  
Anxiety coursed through him as so many different scenarios passed through his mind.  Maybe she was trapped in the rubble.  Or maybe she was blasted by the explosion.  His mind wandered back to another one of his younger siblings who had also died in an explosion.  He had made up his mind then.
Quickly he ran through the streets till he found a private and secret place that he could turn into Nightwing, but right before he could even remove his shirt something flew up to him with great urgency.
“Are you Richard Grayson?”
The creature asked frantically, its eyes darting around them.  Dick studied the being with a sharp glare.
“That depends, what are you and why do you need to know?”
“I’m Tikki, I am a kwamii, the being that gives Ladybug her powers.  Ladybug is in trouble and is unable to transform!  She told me to come to you, she said that you would be able to save Paris.”
Dick stared at the being in confusion.  How did Ladybug know about him, or know that he was even here?!  He thought back to the pictures of Ladybug he had seen, and his thoughts traveled back to his sister who was probably in trouble or worse…then it clicked and Dick’s eyes widened.  Oh no.  His sister was compromised!  Just then he noticed the small being was holding a pair of earrings in its small arms.  
“Alright, thank you for trusting me.”
He said as he carefully took the earrings and put them on.  Being a model finally came in handy for hero work.  
“Alright, what do I have to do?”
He said with all of his Nightwing determination and vibrato.
“Before you transform you need to know that your main weapon will be a yo-yo or some kind of grapple.  You might have other weapons depending on your preference.  When the akumitized object is broken you have to capture and purify the butterfly when it emerges.  There is another hero that will help you named Chat Noir.  In order to transform, all you need to say is ‘Tikki spots on’!”
Dick nodded and took a quick breath.  He prayed this wasn’t some kind of trick, bats and magic rarely mixed well.
“Tikki spots on.”
{Thank you CyberGeist for the description}
Suddenly a pink light surrounded him and he watched as a suit formed around him.  Black material hugged him skintight just like his Nightwing suit yet somehow it was even more flexible and strong from the kevlar weave. Red circles on either side of his torso gave his front and back a strange sharp hourglass shape and a red chest plate lined in black sat snuggly on his chest connecting across his back under a set of thin wings. A belt much like his own laid across his hips in bright red and his calves were encased in knee high red boots that blended seamlessly into the rest of the suit. The collar of the suit was high all the way to his chin and had a small insignia resting in the hollow of his throat, the same symbol as the two earrings in his right ear. The earrings were now small dangling interconnected charms that hung from studs in his right ear, so different from Marinette’s earrings, yet so similar at the same time. One charm was black with red spots, the other red with black spots. His yoyo was different to, it had two handles like a jump rope, the handles were similar to his escrima, and it hummed and crackled with electricity just as strong as his own little toys. It made him think of a cross between his grappling hooks and a set of nunchucks actually....really really long nunchucks
Dick stared at the suit with great appreciation and quickly grabbed the nunchucks and threw it up into the air and used it like Catwoman used her whip to get up to the buildings.  He flew through the sky and looked for where the chaos was happening.  He followed it to the top of the Eiffel Tower and saw the Akuma in warm fiery colors fighting the other black clad hero.  Dread filled him when he saw Marinette trapped near the fight in a small cage made of fire.  She looked panicked, no doubt PTSD from before, he remembered her saying that she had claustrophobia from being trapped in the container.  He watched and analyzed the situation as he tried to find the best time and place to strike.  
Chat Noir hit the villain and he watched as she stumbled back. Now.  He laughed from his perch as grabbed the red and black flaming hair comb and quickly smashed it to the ground.  A black butterfly flew into the air.  He threw his weapon at the butterfly and watched as the butterfly phased through the end and turned white as it flew away.  As he let out a sigh of relief he turned around only to see the girl who had been the villain push Marinette off of the ledge and his sister’s scream.  Chat Noir called out his name, but Dick launched himself right after her.  
Memories passed through his mind of two other people that were the most important in his life falling down down down.  Not again, please never again!  Tears fell out both of their eyes as they fell and got closer and closer to the ground.  He just got her back!  He can’t lose his baby sister again!  He just got her back!!!
Marinette reached her hand out for him and he quickly grabbed it and threw the whip into the air letting it latch onto one of the rails.  Marinette gasped for air as she held onto her older brother for dear life.  She couldn’t stop shaking as tears fell out of her eyes.  Forgotten and blurry memories of people she had once known flashing before her eyes in a similar situation, except no one had caught them from their fall.  
“It’s okay.  I’ve got you.  I won’t let you go.”
Dick’s airy voice whispered against her ear.  She could feel his own tears falling against her clothes.  She could feel then lower to the ground as the magic of the rope extended for them until their feet were firmly planted on the ground.
“I’ve got you baby sister.  I’ll always catch you when you fall.”
Dick whispered against her head before he placed a small kiss against her crown.  Marinette leaned closer against him and whispered,
“Thank you.”
Dick slowly pulled back and gave her a watery smile, 
“Go home, I’ll be there in a bit.  Just let me handle something.”
Marinette sniffled and quickly wiped her eyes and gave him a sharp nod before she ran towards the bakery.  Dick watched her figure disappear with a small smile, but once she was gone a scowl took over and he was moving back to the top of the tower.  Good, the girl was still there, but it seemed like the other hero had left.
“Oh thank goodness!  I knew you’d come back to help me down!”
Dick sent her one of his darkest scowls and watched with glee as she cowered back.  
“I’ve been told that as an Akuma you are not willfully hurting the people.”
“It’s true!  I don’t even remember what happened while I was like that!”
The girl wailed in a sharp high-pitched (obviously fake) voice.  Dick rolled his eyes.
“But you weren’t under anyone's control when you pushed that girl off the tower, were you?”
The girl shrunk back,
“I-it was an accident!”
She wailed, fake tears falling down her cheeks,
“I have a disorder where I can’t control my movements.”
Dick nodded thoughtfully,
“I see.”
He replied as if he believed her.  She seemed to perk up at that.  Then his glare returned as he growled out, 
“I see that you are a liar.  Now I’m going to take you down the tower and turn you over to the law for attempted murder.”
The girl looked shocked and horrified.  She glared at him and looked as if she were ready to fight.
“You don’t have any proof.  They will believe me over you and there is nothing you can do about it.”
She said with her own glare, finger pointed at him.
Dicks smirk was lethal.  A shiver ran down Lila’s spine as before she could blink he had moved and she was pinned with her hands behind her back.
“I think the cameras up here are proof enough.”
He whispered as he tied her hands with his rope.  And with that he jumped down letting the girl scream in terror, a smirk resting on his lips as he let himself freefall before catching himself and swinging through the city.
___________ Marinette knawed at the nail of her finger, a nervous habit she had picked up a while ago.  She thought she had lost it, what with being Ladybug, but apparently not if the nubs that were her fingernails said anything.  There was a small knock against her trapdoor that caused her to nearly jump out of her skin, but breathed out a sigh of relief when she merely saw her brother jump through in his normal civvies.  Before she could even open her mouth in greeting or attempted explanation she was wrapped up into his tight embrace in which she quickly returned with little hesitation.  It took everything in her to not break down crying because she couldn’t let Hawkmoth get to her, so she couldn’t herself process the fear and sadness that welled inside of her at the thought of her near death experience.
She felt Dick push aware slightly, tears still running down his cheeks as he began to tilt her side to side and went through almost an entire medical examination to make sure that she hadn't been hurt.  She understood and let him do whatever tests he needed to feel confident that nothing had happened.  Once he was sure he let out a sigh of relief, tipped her head a little, and placed a loving kiss to the crown of her head.  She leaned into the show of affection and was happy that when he pulled away he leaned his forehead against hers while he ran a gentle hand through her loose hair.
“Sora mea dragă.”
Marinette smiled at the familiar words.  It was true that she couldn’t remember what they meant exactly, but she could feel the amount of affection that they conveyed.
“I’ve got you.  I won’t ever let you fall.  I promise, I’ll always be here to catch you.  Okay?”
She couldn’t help it anymore, the walls that she had built, secured, and had made as impenetrable as possible toppled, and all there was nothing stopping the flood of emotions from escaping any longer.  Tears burned their paths down her cheeks as sniffles turned into sobs and shaking turned into full body tremors.  She leaned into her brother as much as possible and let him lead her to the floor where she curled up into his lap and let him hold her while she wept.
Stop!  You’ll attract an Akuma!  How can you be so stupid?!  Why are you acting this way?!  Stop!  Stop it now!
She did her best to tune out the voices screaming in her head.  She had seen the way her brother had fought while using the miraculous.  He had to have been doing something similar in Gotham.  He had to be one of the vigilantes!  As soon as he had told her where he had been and the things that had gone on there she made it her business and top priority to look into it because maybe she and Tikki could help.  She had learned lots about the heroes from online posts and when she came across a semi-decent photo of the hero Nightwing in Blüdhaven, the similarities between the two hit her like a truck.  So if she was akumatized, since she still didn’t have the miraculous back, and her brother was obviously trained to be a hero, there would be a good chance that he would be able to stop her before anything major happened.
She could feel her shirt become wet as he laid his head against her shoulder, and slowly she let her thoughts finally die down.  Right now she was with her brother, they were safe now.  He had caught her, he would protect her and she would protect him.  They weren’t going to lose each other ever again.  With that thought she let herself just be, letting her emotions finally go with her big brother there to help and protect her.  When she was old enough to leave Paris, maybe moving to Gotham with her big brother wouldn’t be so bad.

New idea!!! Could you write a story where Mari and Tim are full-blooded siblings except Mari was taken away from the Drakes. Mari would be Dick's age in this. The Drake's finally pass away so Bruce goes to adopt Tim but he's having trouble because Marinette is doing the same. It's a custody battle. Tim is confused because he doesn't know Mari (she was taken away before she was born and CPS wasn't dealing with that family again) but Mari knows about him. Maybe Dick/Mari?
I have a feeling I took this in a different direction than you meant for it to be, but I hope you still like it :) @elements1999
Tim’s Decision
There were two things that Timothy Jackson Drake was sure of.
One, that he had never seen Dick so flustered before in his life. The poor guy was tripping over his own feet, stumbling into the court hallway as if he had been drinking all morning, his face resembling something close to the apple Bruce forced him to eat for breakfast.
And the second, well, he was sure he had never met someone as persistently, annoyingly, upbeat as Dick Grayson until seconds ago when she reached out her hand to introduce herself.
“Marinette Dupain-Cheng. I’m sorry we have to meet under these circumstances, Timothy. This isn’t my first time reaching out, but it certainly is my first time getting through. Maybe after this, we can grab a bite to eat, get to know each other?”
Tim slightly withdrew his hand, reaching out to steady a swaying Dick. He wanted to ask him what could’ve warranted this behavior from him, but he wasn’t sure he was prepared to hear the answer.
“Miss Dupain-Cheng-”
“Please, call me Marinette! I’m not married, nor am I a middle-aged woman. I’m only 21 after all. You’re 14, right Timothy?”
“If I call you by your name, call me Tim. Timothy sounds like a rich brat.”
Marinette’s giggle earned a small smile from the boy. He had no idea who she was, but her presence was soothing and he didn’t feel any immediate danger. Besides, she wasn’t the first person to approach him in the past week. News of his parent’s death traveled very quickly and many people attempted to adopt him in hopes that his fortune would be theirs.
Bruce was quick to wave them off, offering to adopt Tim himself, but before Tim could even think about accepting, CPS contacted Bruce with the proposal from one Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
“I hadn’t realized that Bruce Wayne had caught your attention. I really want to make sure that you are able to have a regular childhood or at least some resemblance of a few normal years. If you think Bruce is a better option for you, I promise I’ll pull out right now, but if you have any doubts at all, I want to let you know that I want to fight for you, Tim.”
“I haven’t made any decisions yet and considering Bruce let me meet with you, I have to assume you’re not after my parent’s fortune.”
Marinette’s smile tightened at the mention of the fortune or was it his parents? He couldn’t tell. She was definitely holding something back, but they had just met and he wasn’t in any position to be pressuring her for some answers. What he was in the position to do was knock some sense into a now drooling Dick Grayson.
“Knock it off will you, you’re heavy and gross. You’re making a fool of the Wayne name and aren’t you supposed to be my guardian today?”
Dick muttered out something that sounded like an okay, but if Tim was honest, he wasn’t sure it was anything more than a few syllables to lower his guard.
“This is what Bruce considers a capable guardian? I’m not sure I trust him as far as I could throw him. What can it do?”
Marinette reached forward, poking Dick’s cheek, enough force to snap him out of whatever daze he had been in the past hour.
“Dick Grayson-Wayne ma’am, a pleasure to meet you.” Instantly he bowed, his hand extended as if he were waiting for something that wouldn’t come.
“Mhmm, so you are Bruce’s ward? You look like you could be his blood child. Does he have a thing for dark hair and light eyes? Creepy.”
Dick’s hand clutched his chest as if he had been struck directly in his core. Marinette turned her attention from him and back to where Tim stood.
“Anyways, I believe we mentioned lunch earlier. I’ve already submitted my application to CPS and after this formal meeting, you’re free to meet up with me whenever you would like as long as a third party comes with us. Can you think of anyone you want to come with us?”
Tim glanced to the side where he could feel Dick’s puppy eyes boring into him. He wouldn’t be his first choice but if it came down to him of Jaime, he was pretty sure he had a better chance of reigning in Dick.
“Do you mind if Dick comes with us?”
Marinette’s smile was shaken with uncertainty as if she was thinking of protesting but didn’t want to overstep any boundaries. Tim felt terrible putting her in the position but he was sure that Dick was her best chance given his options. “Of course not, where would you like to go?”
The lunch moved smoothly with Tim learning so much about her. She was originally from the Gotham foster system herself, but a young couple who couldn’t have kids adopted her at a younger age, moving her to Paris with them. She attended the equivalent of middle and high school over there where she met many lifelong friends. Starting late in her middle school years, she upstarted a fashion business where she had several big-name clients months into her start-up. Now she made personal designs, but many were taken care of by her team. She only stitched a very few commissions for close personal friends.
She was remarkable, someone who truly started from nothing. His parents did something similar as did Bruce’s. It was something he wanted for himself, something he wasn’t sure he could ever achieve with either his or Bruce’s fortune.
The custody battle was put on hold at Tim’s request. He was really intrigued by Marinette and Bruce pressuring him to take his time and really think over his choices finally led him to that decision. However, no matter how much Bruce tried to be a neutral party in the matter, Tim could feel the strain it put on their work relationship.
The more he saw Marinette, the more mess-ups occurred on patrol. Bruce would constantly tread into Tim’s area, always dropping in on his battles. It was as if he lost all trust in Tim as if he was trying to rely less on him, trying to go back to doing things on his own.
It was so frustrating. No matter how many times he told Bruce that he could still be Robin no matter who he chose, it seemed to mean nothing to him. He continually waved him off, claiming to have no idea what he was talking about.
A month after he met Marinette, Tim snuck out for the first time, begging her to meet him at a coffee shop near her hotel.
“Tim, this is dangerous. If CPS finds out we meet behind Bruce’s back, it could nullify my application.”
“I know, I know.” His head dropped to the table, buried in his arms trying to suffocate his frustration. “I just needed to get away from all of them. I think the fact that I consider you a serious option really upsets Bruce. It’s not that I don’t consider him a serious option as well, it’s just-he’s just-”
Tim let out a sigh, slowly sitting back up unsure where his thoughts were taking him.
“Tim,” Marinette reached across the table, laying her hand on his arm. “if this is too stressful for you, I can pull out of this.”
Her touch was so gentle, so soothing. It felt like the mother he never had, the kind of mother he yearned for but never realized. He really didn’t want her to leave his life just because he couldn’t give up being Robin.
“I just feel so selfish,” his vision started to blur, Marinette’s figure coming in and out of focus. “I want to keep the life I’ve made for myself here, but I also don’t feel like I can grow the way I want to under Bruce’s supervision.”
Marinette didn’t say anything for a moment, she just allowed him to cry, her thumb moving in small circles on his arm. Tim reveled in the feeling, reveled in the silence. He hadn’t had this in a while, he hadn’t had comfort for as long as he could remember. Even at his parent’s funeral, people just commented on how strong he was and how smart he was and told him he would be just fine. Not once did anyone try to hug him or ask if he was okay. They just assumed.
Everyone always just assumed.
“Tim, I haven’t been 100% honest with you since I met you. I didn’t want it to mess with your decision, but I think it’s time you knew.”
“I already know.” Tim moved his arms from her touch, his heart throbbing from the loss of touch. “I did my research on you, especially considering how Bruce let me meet you so quickly. You’ve done a lot of work to bury it, but the Will mentioned you, or at least your old name.”
Marinette’s smile was tight, her eyes as watery as his.
“Is that what’s holding you back from making the decision you want to make?”
Tim wanted to deny that he had no clear choice, but that was a lie he had been feeding himself. He wanted to stay with Bruce, in Gotham. His life was here, his friends were here, his passions were here. The only thing that wasn’t, was her.
“I want Bruce to be my official guardian. I want to be Tim Drake-Wayne.” Marinette nodded, understanding pouring from her and crashing into him. He felt like all the stress from the past month had been pushed out and replaced with relief. “But I really did want to get to know you, I didn’t want to make a decision because you would be out of my life for good. I’ve already lost you once, CPS took you didn’t they?”
“Right before mom became pregnant with you. I’m sure it happened to you too, but I was only six. They left me alone, not even a butler or maid to watch after me. They tried to argue with CPS that I was a competent child who could handle groceries and looking after myself but they didn’t buy it. My existence hadn’t even been released to the public so they didn’t take it too hard, losing me that is. But you, they immediately brought you into the limelight, almost like a challenge to CPS, I’m assuming that’s why they didn’t get involved for you no matter how many times my parent’s called and reported them.”
Tim couldn’t help the chuckle that bubbled out. It seemed to have shocked Marinette too as she gave way to her own giggle threatening to spill.
“Marinette, can I ask you something selfish?”
“Of course, mon frère.” Her hand reached back across the table, gripping his tightly as if pressing him to ask the question he dreaded most.
“Will you still be apart of my life? I’m not asking you to move to Gotham, but maybe a monthly trip? A weekly dinner? Something? I just don’t want to lose you again.”
The tears that had been pooling in her eyes finally slipped free, her smile blinding.
“I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
“Bruce, Marinette is coming over for game night tonight!”
“Marinette?” Dick’s head popped around the corner, the red plastered by the mere mention of her name. It sickened Tim. “But I have patrol tonight! Bruce can’t the police do their jobs for one night!”
Bruce chuckled as he set up the table, a stack of every board game imaginable piled in the middle.
“I suppose you can push it back from 11 to 5 to 2 to 5. After all, I’m not heartless.”
Tim let out an involuntary groan as he slipped into the couch, wishing it would swallow him whole.
“Whose side are you on here Bruce? She’s already your honorable daughter. Do you really need her to be part of your legal family that bad?”
“I haven’t the slightest clue what you mean.” His smirk only made Tim want to fold in on himself even more.
“Bruce, if you’re gonna set me up, can it at least be with Tim’s more attractive siblings? Like what about that Jason guy? Or Barbara Gordan?” Tim popped up in his seat, a smile beaming from ear to ear.
“Marinette’s here!” He waved her over to the seat beside him before a certain older lovebird could intervene.
“I am attractive! Why won’t you accept me Marinette?” Dick wiped away fake tears as he fell dramatically to the floor by her feet.
Tim could feel his heart overflowing for the first time in years. His life felt so fulfilled, like all of the missing pieces finally found a place. As the night continued on, only one thought stayed prominent in his mind.
He couldn’t be happier with his decision.
