After Tim does something Bruce wouldn’t approve of:
Jason: No. You can’t just become the family disappointment. I’m the family disappointment. I’ve been the family disappointment for years. Do you realize how much work goes into being the family disappointment??
Dick: Newsflash Jason, we’ve all been, “The family disappointment.”
Damian: tt- I haven’t.
Tim: I assure you, you have been.
Stephanie: Fairly certain I became the family disappointment last week after spending 47 minutes arguing with Bruce about whether or not the Earth was flat. He Did Not appreciate the donut earth theory.
Cass: Only 47 minutes?
Stephanie: We segued into the moon landing being faked.
Cass: Ah.
Jason: Y’know, Goldie, may have managed to be the family disappointment back before there was actual competition, but I’m fairly certain Cass and Duke have never done anything worthy of being crowned the disappointment.
Cass: Not my fault Bruce loves me more than the rest of you.
Stephanie: Ouch.
Duke: Generally, being the family disappointment is not something people compete over. But if we’re going to compete, I’m pretty sure I can at least earn an honorable mention.
Tim: Yeah, well I have made the hall of fame. Bruce is gonna flip.
Damian: You’ve never even killed anyone.
Stephanie: He has a point. Out of all of us, you’re the bootlicker.
Tim: My bootlicking days are over. I’m about to go through the most intense teenage angst and rebellion anyone has ever witnessed.
Dick: Good luck with that. Pro tip: it gets real old, real fast. Make sure you don’t screw over your relationships too much.
Stephanie: You’re still not gonna beat the whole 8 heads in a duffel bag thing.
Jason: I’ll admit, that was a tad dramatic.
Duke: A tad? Yes, a tad dramatic.
Jason: Ok, it was a lot dramatic, but either way, it secures me top spot as family disappointment. None of y’all are gonna take that.

Whacky Gotham, Goofy New York, and Chaotic Paris.
(Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3) (Part 4) (Part 5) (Part 6) (Part 7)
Chapter 5: Then Let The Games Begin
•—–—–·†·–—–—•
Soooo, the Batfam is panicking, Gotham's confused as to why Iron Man is flying over Gotham like a madman, and Maria is with two of Gotham's Sirens (but only Ivy and Harley know this) having a wonderful time playing with Bud and Lou.
Let's start with the Sirens.
Harley is watching over Maria and Tikki as they sleep with Bud and Lou, Ivy walkes over to sit next to Harley, handing her a cup of tea.
"So, what's the diagnosis?" - Ivy
"She has some sort of trauma, has class issues... and handles more than she should, but still does everythin', on top of bein' a hero. She's been through some sh-t Pam." Yeah Harley may have found out Maria's a hero (if the tiny god and magic were anything to go by).
"Is she alone?" - Ivy
"No, thankfully, she has supportive parents, and friends that aren't little sh-ts. I think they're also heroes, she also has a lot, and I a mean A LOT of pent up emotions, she doesn't show anythin' negative, only positive things. She seems to shrink in on herself if she thinks she does somethin' wrong. Pam, we both know there's a limit to how much crap a person can take before they snap, and she's such a sweet kid. There has to be somethin' we can do to help her Ives." Ok she found out alot, but in Marias' defense, they have trustworthy souls, and they were the only other people (besides her friends) that she talked to about it, yes she had her Maman and Uncle to talk about hero stuff, but for the stuff her class does, she only ever vented (without being negative) to her friends.
"Her class is visiting the Botanical Gardens in three days, and it's a 2 part tour, so we can see just what's going on. If it's bad then we scare them a bit, if it's bad bad... they can handle a few slightly poisonous plants right?" - Ivy
"God I love the way ya think Ives, do ya think she can stay with us? I mean look at how cute she is with Bud and Lou... Oh my god, she's cuddlin' dem, and ya gave her a flower crown, how'd I miss that?! Where's the camera?"
Tumblr media
Harley took a picture to remind her of this wonderful moment. As Ivy and Harley looked at the picture, they both promised to keep Maria safe, and maybe become sorta kinda-ish parents to her while she's in Gotham.
•—–·Now back to the Bat-Chaos Bat-Cave·–—•
Tim took over the chair and was now searching the possible locations with Jarvis, Damian was sitting on a different chair, trying to act cool, but he wouldn't stop looking over at Tim, to see his progress. Bruce was talking over the comms with Tony. Dick and Jason, weren't helping (they kept feeding each other worse and worse ideas of what could have happened to Maria). Then they heard Jarvis speak.
"I have found the most likely area Ms. Dupain-Cheng would be in. Her phone died about 56 blocks away from her hotel, if we don't count kidnapping, or murder, she would have thought about asking for directions, but may have decided not to considering the city she is in. So that leaves us with a possible 15-25 mile radius from her last known location. I think it best to divide into groups of two, have Oracle stay and update you if anything on security, and or traffic cameras happens. Bruce will be with Tony, Dick will go with Tim, and Jason will go with Damain to search within the area. Stephanie and Cassandra will search around a 5 mile radius near Wayne hotel." as Jarvis continued to explain the other details, the Batfam began to suit up, Batman met up with Iron Man, and they took the North area, Nightwing and Red Robin took the East area, while Red Hood and Robin searched the South. Steph and Cass were on foot in civilian clothes, searching the West area they were assigned.
They searched for the whole day, and came up with nothing. Until Oracle saw a video from a traffic cam around 9pm, 15 blocks away from where her phone died. She called it in and everyone went back to the cave. Once everyone was at the Bat-Computer, Oracle pressed play, the cameras didn't have sound, and it wasn't close enough to see if she was ok.
They watched as she went to an overgrown parking lot and sat down. She was looking down at the ground, and that's when they spotted two figures round the corner and spot her. They watched as the two figures approach Maria, and saw the startled reaction she had. They realized it was Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy that were talking to her, then they saw Maria collapse. They watched as Harley made sure she was ok, looking over to Ivy before looking back to Maria and picking her up. The last thing they saw, was Maria being carried away by two of Gothams' most dangerous rouges, but now they knew where to look next.
•—–· Back to Ivy and Harley ·–—•
Harley continued to take adorable pictures of the children.
"God, they're so f-ckin' cute!" - Harley for the 20th time
As Ivy continued to watch while caring for her plants, Catwoman walked in.
"Hey girls, got the stuff for movie night, so what are we- Holy mother of cats! He adopted another f-cking child didn't he! Where the hell does he keep finding them?! 7 was ment to be the god DAMN LIMIT!!!" - Catwoman
Maria jumped at the sudden shouting and may have accidentally summoned a yo-yo (one made useing creation magic and protection magic) before saying.
"Tikki where's the akuma?! How long was I out?! Forget it Tikki spot-" she then realized she wasn't in Paris, and seeing a new face, she also realized she just spilled her secret to another person within the same day... kinda
"Fffffffffffudge sunday that fell on the pavement!" - Maria shouted in baker profanities
"That's not how ya curse sweetheart. It should go more like-" Harley was cut off by a vine Ivy had summoned.
"Harley, cursing makes the plants sad, you know this." - Ivy said removing the vine
Harley just walked over to Maria and whipsered it in her ear.
"You're supposed to say it more like this, ' ..... .... ... .. ....... .. ... .....' ok?" - Harley ended with a big smile
"... I will never see this world in the same frickin' light ever again." - Maria
"ehh close enough." - Harley
"Can someone please tell me, WTH is going on here, on our special girls day off?!" - Catwoman
"She is a new member of the Sirens as of today, and as a member, she's unda our protection, so effective immediately." - Harley
"Cool." - Maria
"Harley." - Ivy
"Wut... first things first, if she is going to join, she needs to be very flexible, know how to fight, and be incredibly intelligent." - Catwoman
"She beat Ed's @ss with a gun pointed at her, and solved every riddle with ease, so I'm positive she'll be an amazin' addition to the team." - Harley
'God she sounds like a new mother now' "But we don't know how good her flexibility is." - Catwoman
"I know, hey Maria, ya wanna do some tricks with me, of course we need to stretch first, but do ya wanna give it a go?" - Harley
"Sure." - Maria
Ivy and Catwoman sat down on a couch a few feet away from where Maria and Harley stood in the empty part of the building. They started out with stretches, and to Catwoman's surprise (and Harley's delight) Maria copied Harleys streches perfectly.
"Ok, now that that's done, we'll start with some cartwheels, then move on to flips, then handsprings and so on." - Harley
Maria gave Harley a nod... and they were off... literally, Harley did a cartwheel into a handspring, and a few backflips, Maria executed it flawlessly. Harley did some more complicated gymnastics tricks, and Maria did it, Harley did triple backflips going into a cartwheel, into a summersault, and Maria did that perfectly as well. This went on until both Harley and Maria were slightly out of breath, both having massive smiles on their faces.
"Ives, please let her join, she's like a mini me." - Harley then hugged Maria and they somehow both tripled in cuteness as they both did puppy (or Puss In Boots style) eyes at Catwoman and Ivy.
"Sure Harley." - Ivy said walking over to give Harley a small kiss on the cheek.
"Okay... but she doesn't have a costume yet, and she still has to think of a name for herself." - Catwoman
"Is a mouse good, like a mouse themed costume, that or a Turtle themed one. What do you think Harley?" - Maria
"Mmmm, I like that with the mouse you can always toy with Cat, ya know, cat an' mouse stuff, turtle seems... weird even fawh Gotham, so personally I would pick mouse, just because of the cheesy jokes you could do." - Harley
"Very funny, ok then, give me a moment."  Maria then reached out her hand, her eyes then started to glow an icy blue, and a small portal opened in front of her, she reached in and pulled out a small pendant necklace. After she put it on a small mouce appeared and greated itself, Marias' eyes going back to normal after closing the portal.
"Hello I'm Mullo, nice to meet you all."
"Omg omg omg, It's soooo f-ckin' CUTE!" - Harley
"Best to assume all of them are extremely cute Harls." - Ivy
"What the Hell did I miss in the week I was gone?!" - Catwoman
"Ehh, not much, oh but Iron Man did fly aroun' Gotham a few times earlier this mornin' like a madman." - Harley
"Oh sh-t." - Maria
"Maria are ya ok? That was ya first official proper curse in my presence." Harley said looking over to the girl.
"He's gonna kill me." - Maria
"Wait, what do you mean Marigold?" - Ivy
"... He's my Uncle, and I never got to text him I was ok, since my phone died before I met you." - Maria
"Hey, I'm sure he'll understand, now what are we watchin'?" - Harley
"I think we have more important matters other than movies at the moment!" - Catwoman
"Ok, Me Myself and Irene it is." - Harley
"No! You basically kidnapped Iron Mans' NIECE!!!" - Catwoman
"Technically, she fainted and us bein' the good Gothamites we are, decided to take her with us, to make sure she was a-okay." - Harley
"I'm ganna need more than just a six pack of soda to get me through this... Just put the movie on already." - Catwoman
Catwoman sat at the far left end of the couch, next to her sat Ivy, then Maria, and then Harley, Bud and Lou by their feet. All of them sharing one big blanket (Becuase if Iron Man did show up, or any of the birds, then Maria was in a protective burrito and they may not see her right away) and they started the movie.
•—–·–—•
"Oh god, the poor cow." - Maria
.........
"Hahahaha, he stuck a whole f-ckin' chicken head in that guys @ss" - Harley
"The poor chicken." - Maria
"Maria you don't want to see this part." - Ivy then lightly covered her eyes for the ehem, chicken extraction.
.........
"Anyone up for another movie?" - Harley
"That depends." - Ivy
"Any suggestions Cat?" - Harley looked across to the other end of the couch to see Catwoman already sleeping.
"She took her cat-nap already? Seriously?" - Harley
"... What about Pirates of The Caribbean?" - Maria
"I'm good with that." - Ivy
And they started the next movie, Maria was happy, it felt like when her maman and papa would sleep with her when she made a pillow fort. It was a loving atmosphere, it felt safe, and nothing could ruin it. Marias' eyes became heavy, and she leaned her head on Harleys' shoulder, falling asleep after a few minutes.
Ivy paused the move looking over to see both Harley and Maria sleeping, soon Ivy also fell asleep in the comfortable silence.
…………………………
Around an hour later Maria woke up in a panic, she had a nightmare, and kept looking around frantically for someone with tears running down her face.
"What's the matter hun?" - Harley said looking around to see if someone had gotten in. When she looked back at Maria she saw that she was crying.
"What happened?" Harley asked in a kind voice that was filled with motherly love.
"I, just *hic* had a bad dream that's *hic* all, I'm fine." - Maira said trying to wipe the tears away.
"You're ok, I promise nothin's goin' to happen to ya as long as Ivy and I are here, ok hun?" - Harley hugged Maria, and she could feel the girl let out a few more sobs, and quick breathes.
"Thanks Maman." Maria didn't even realize what she had said, it just felt natural for her to say it.
"You're welcome hun." 'Omg I'm gonna cry, she called me maman!' Harley rubbed small circles over Marias' back, and began humming until she fell asleep, she continued to hug Maria until she also fell asleep.
•—–· Back to the Chaos Bat-Cave ·–—•
"What do you mean she's with two of Gotham City's Sirens?!" - Tony
"Tony, calm down, I'll call Selina, she can talk to them and get this all sorted out." - Bruce
"Your fiancee is a Gotham Siren too?! Why didn't you tell me?!" - Tony
"Why isn't she picking up? And unlike some people, this family doesn't like outing our secret identities... on live TV." - Bruce
"Oh well excuse me for not keeping my secret identity a SECRET!" - Tony
"I'll try calling her one more time." - Bruce
"Bruce, it's 3am. Who in their right mind ever stays up this late.... aside from this family." - Tim with a giant coffee mug in hand.
"... I'll just call her one more time." Bruce then connected it to the Bat-Computer so everyone could hear.
•—–· Back to the Sirens ·–—•
Catwoman's phone is ringing like crazy, waking everyone up, including a tired, annoyed, and confused Selina.
"Wth does he want at 3 in the morning?!" - Selina
"Just answer it so we can keep sleepin'." - Harley still hugging Maria
"I'm putting it on speaker, so you lot can testify against his @ss in court, for disturbing the peace."
•—–· Over to Batsy ·–—•
"Selina I need to ask-"
"WHAT THE F-CKING HELL DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ABOUT A GOOD NIGHTS REST!" - Selina
"Oooooh, she sounds pissed Bruce." - Jason
"I'm sorry to call you at this hour, but we need to find a girl that looks just like every single one of my other kids." - Bruce
"Bruce... I thought we agreed that 7 kids was. the. f-cking. limit." - Selina
•—–· Back to the Sirens ·–—•
Selina looked over to Maria before muting the speaker.
"Do you want them to know you're here Kitten?" - Selina
"... I'm tired, I haven't had coffee, I have no filter, so f-ck it, act like you never saw me today, and let them drown in chaos. " - Maria
"I think I like filter less Maria." - Harley
"Okay." Selina shrugged her shoulders and then un-muted her phone, putting it back on speaker mode.
"Where was she last seen?" - Selina
"She was last seen with Harley and Poison Ivy, I want you to see if she's still with them." - Bruce
Selina looked over to Maria and Harley, both of them shook their heads with mischievous grins.
"I've been with them all day, and I haven't once seen a girl that looks like your kids. Now can I go back to sleep, and forget this ever happened?" - Selina
"WHERE IS MY NIECE!!!" - Tony
"Oh, hey Tony, didn't know you were there, don't know who, or where your niece is, but good luck trying to find her. Oh and Bruce, I'm shutting my phone off so you don't keep calling till the butt crack of dawn. And congrats it's now 4am. you owe me a lunch date, uh-ba-bye." Selina then hung up her phone and turned it off.
"That went pretty well if you ask me, now I'm going back to sleep." - Selina
•—–· Back to Batsy ·–—•
The room was silent for a few minutes before Jason spoke up.
"Does that mean that Pixiepop ran away and is even more lost now?!" - Jason
"Oh god, what do we do, what if she got hurt?!" - Dick
"What if she got kidnapped?!" - Jason
"What if she's with a big time Gotham Villain?!" - Dick
"... What if she got more coffee?" - Tim
"Oh Hell No" - Jason/Dick
"... Lets all go to sleep, and when we wake up, we'll head over to their base and double check. She could've just said that because I called her at 3am." - Bruce
"But my niece is still out there!" - Tony
"You're going to sleep Tony." - Pepper then dragged Tony to his room.
•—–· Back to Maria ·–—•
Selina went to a different part of the building, where Maria assumed the bedrooms were. Ivy had gone to the greenhouse to be with the plants, and now it was just her and Harley left on the couch, and she couldn't sleep.
"... Harley?" - Maria
"Yeah hun?" - Harley
"I can't sleep." - Maria
"Well, watcha wanna do till ya get tired?" Harley asked sitting up a little straighter to get a better look at Maria.
Maria gave a sly smile, and looked Harley in the eyes "Want to go free-running on the rooftops?"
"... Alright, but lets get some coffee, and a snack in us first." - Harley gave her a side hug, before getting up to go make the coffee, and grab some snacks.
After they had their coffee, they climbed to the roof of the base. Harley was in her outfit, bat in hand and ready to do some bonding.
"So, how does ya outfit work?" - Harley
"Like so, ready Mullo?" - Maria
"Yes Maria" - Mullo
"Ok, Mullo, Get Squeaky!" A bright light flashes, and when Harley could see again, Maria was in a dark gray suit, wearing black knee high boots, with a strip of pink at the knee, and black elbow length gloves with the same pink strip at her elbow. Her mask was a slightly lighter gray on the top part, and pink on the bottom. Her hair was pulled into two buns with pink ribbons that faded to gray, and to black at the very tip. Her jump rope around her waist forming a tail going just below the back of her knees.
"Just when I think ya can't get any more adorable. So what should I call ya?" - Harley
"You can call me Multimouse." - Maria
Soon they were racing and doing tricks off different roofs, they were really enjoying themselves. From one of the roofs they heard a commotion in one of the alleys, when they looked down they saw a man holding a woman at gunpoint.
"Not good, seems like he's got issues, probably lost his lover, most likely has additions to drugs and alcohol, and seems to be a little tipsy." - Harley
"I've got a plan." - Multimouse
…………
Multimouse droped a little way behind the guy, grabbing his attention while Harley got the lady to safety.
"You know there's a help center two blocks from here that would be more than willing to help you." - Multimouse
The crook just raised his gun to her trying to keep it steady as he spoke.
"Give me all your money little girl, or else I'll hurt you."
"1. That's not how you hold a gun. 2. That is no way to treat any girl. and 3. Instead of money, I'll give you my jump rope." - Multimouse
"Why the hell would I want your jump rope, that thing looks worthless." the crook lowered his guard enough as Multimouse pretended to hand over her jump rope, only to use it in a quick motion to dismarm the man, as Harley promptly knocked him out with one swing.
"Lets neva have ya at gunpoint again, okay hun? I'm afraid my heart can't take it." - Harley said while tying the crook to a lamppost.
"Sorry, but it was the best idea I could come up with at the moment, besides, any guy with a gun would feel like they have the upper hand if they're facing a random little girl with a jump rope, rather than Gothams' Harley Quinn with a bat." - Multimouse
"Sadly I'm just too popular with the kiddos on the street." - Harley
…………
They continued to stop a few more muggers on the way back to the base, and when they got back they peaked around the corner to see the whole Batfam plus Iron Man talking with Ivy and Selina.
"How much you want to bet we can get back out before they see us?" - Whispering Multimouse
"... Lets try hidin' in the kitchen." - Whispering Harley
As they tried to sneak by (still in their costumes) Selina just walks over and draggs them to the group.
"Here, now let me sleep!" - Selina
"Dang it Selina we wanted tah see just how long we could hide out in the kitchen!" - Harley
Selina did a double take now realizing they both went out.
"... You didn't." - Selina
"We wanted tah go free-runnin'! So what?" - Harley
"She could've gotten hurt Harls." - Ivy
"My suits magic, I am invulnerable to bullets, normal magic, swords, knifes, anything staby staby, and I can withstand any temperature in it." Multimouse said with a slight pout.
"Hold up, is she a magical girl?" - Red Hood in the background
When Selina let go both Harley and Multimouse went behind Ivy for protection.
"We can still make a run for it." - Harley whispered to Multimouse
"... Ok, I'll meet you on the roof." - Whispering Multimouse
Harley gave a nod as she slowly inched her wasy closer to the door that lead to the roof, as she saw Iron Man approach Multimouse.
"Please get out of your suit, we need to talk about why you're here-" - Iron Man
"Multitute!" - Multimouse
Harley then saw Multimouse shrink into dozens of tiny little versions of herself as her clones spread out in all directions, one of which was heading right for her.
"Wth, you never told us she could use magic!" - Red Robin
Harley picked her up, and slipped through the door without anyone noticing.
"That was great, but how do ya get back tuh normal size?" - Harley
"Simple, I just merge back with my clones." As she said this, all her clones came back, and she merged with herself, becoming normal sized again.
"Where to?" - Multimouse
………… So now The Batfam is trying to find many long gone Mini-Multimouses, and Harley seems to have disappeared with her. Harley and Multimouse are now running over the roofs, heading for Wayne Manor.
"So why are we going to Wayne Manor?" - Multimouse
"Because, Batsy will neva think of lookin' for us at his own home, at least not fawh a little while." - Harley
When they arrived at the Manor, Multimouse de-transformed as Harley knocked on the door.
"Ms. Quinn, Ms. Maria, pleasure to see you here, please come in." - Alfred
"Are any of the bat-birds here?" - Harley
"Ms. Barbara, Ms. Stephanie, and Ms. Cassandra are the only ones here at the moment." - Alfred
"Do ya think you can keep us bein' here a secret from Batsy?" - Harley
"Harley? What are you doing here with Maria?" - Barbara
"It seems that Ms. Harley and Ms. Maria are now playing hide and seek with the rest of the family." - Alfred
"Did someone say hide and seek?" - Steph
"Yes, so could we maybe try and keep this a secret from everyone else, please?" - Maria
"Sure, it was starting to get boring around here. We can all hide in the living room no one ever use. Barbara you show them the way, I'll get the food/drinks and boardgames." - Steph
"Is this alright with you Alfred?" Maria
"It's all right Ms. Maria, you can hide out in the old living room." - Alfred
"Thanks Alfie, ya the best." - Harley
"Thank you Alfred." - Maria
"Ok then, follow me." - Barbara
…………
In the old living room, Harley, Maria, Barbara, Steph, and Cass began to formulate a plan.
"Ok, so the best way for them to never find you is to have your phone off, stay away from any and all cameras, and show your face to no one." - Steph
"So, do you have anything in mind that you might want to do?" - Barbara
"Can we put them on a wild goose chase?" - Maria
Cass nodded to Marias' suggestion approvingly.
"I can hack a few traffic cams to help with that." - Barbara
"We can also throw in some useless hints, to throw dem even further off our scent." - Harley
"Good idea Harley." - Barbara
"Thanks, but how long do ya think we should make it last?" - Harley
"As long as Maria wants it to." - Barbara
"Then let the games begin." - Maria.

What if Marinette had a Retired Police Dog Part 2
I've have had so many request for more Captain, so here you go. Also I just want to say thank you to the maribat community for adopting Captain into the community. Hopefully I do him justice.
Damian really did not want to say goodbye to Marinette yet, but as the sun dipped behind the buildings Marinette had to return to her hotel
Standing in front of the doors of her hotels they said their goodbyes
Marinette: Thanks for the great time Damian. Captain and I had a blast
Damian: I'm glad to hear that and really the pleasure was all mine
Damain bend down giving a kiss the the back of Marinette's hand
Marinette felt the blush grow on her face
Marinette: Will I be able to see you again?
Damian: Of course Angel maybe we can meet again tomorrow I can bring my dog Titus.
Marinette: Sure here's my number I can text you when I have free roam
Damian: I'll be waiting Goodnight Angel, Captain
Damian gave a little salute to the german sheperd
Captain gave a bark in goodbye while Marinette gave a little wave before heading into the hotel
Damain watch her walk away with a dreamy smile on his face until he couldn't see her any more.
Turning around Damian was met with the sight of his brothers all with teasing smiles on their face
Damian now scowling: Shut up morons
Dick: We didn't say anything baby bird
Damian: Your face did
The rest of the way home was spent teasing Damian about his lady love and Dick dramatically called her
Once Marinette had settled down after their day out she settled on her bed and made a call that was meant to be made earlier in the day
Dialing the number she looked up earlier she waited for the person on the other end to answer
Receptionist: Hello thank you for calling Wayne Enterprise, this is Cheryl how can I help you?
Marinette: Hello, I'm sorry for calling you so late, but I'm going to be in the French school trip group coming to tour the building tomorrow and I just had a quick question
Cheryl who was told by Dick earlier about Damian's little girlfriend knew exactly what to do
Cheryl: No problem sugar let me transfer you over to your tour guide. He can answer any question you might have.
Cheryl put Marinette on hold before she could protest about bugging the tour guide and made a call to Dick's cell phone
Dick: Hey Cheryl what do you need
Cheryl: Hey Dick so that girl you were telling about called me, with a question
Dick: No way. Connect her
Cheryl: Right away
Dick to his brothers: Guess who's on the phone
Jason: Damien's girlfriend?
Dick: Ding ding ding we have a winner
Marinette from phone: Hello?
Dick: Yes hello this is Mr. Grayson. How can I help you?
Marinette: Hello I'm Marinette and I'm so sorry for calling so late, but I had an important question to ask.
Dick: Don't worry Marinette, what's your question
Marinette: Well you see thanks to unforeseen circumstances my dog is actually with me on the trip. He's not a service dog, but he's really well trained and well behaved, and I was wondering if I could bring him with me on the tour. If the answer is no that's totally okay
Dick *thinking*: Omg she's adorable
Dick: That's completely fine. We have employees bring their dogs to work all the time. One more dog in the building won't make any more trouble
Marinette: Really thank you so much. And again I'm soooo sorry for calling so late. Have a goodnight
Dick: You too, I look forward to seeing you and your dog tomorrow
Dick: omg Baby Bird your girlfriend is sssooo adorable she was so sweet and shy and polite. I swear if I was talking to her in person I would have squeezed the life out of her
Damian: Don't you dare. You would just freak her out and make her never want to talk to me ever again
Tim: So you want to see her again?
Jason: It's sound like our Demon Spawn has found his true love
Damian could feel his face turn red
Damian: Shut up you idiots
Marinette: Good news Captain you're going to be able to come on the tour tomorrow
Captain gave Marinette a lick on the cheek to show that he understood and was happy about it
Marinette: Goodnight Captain. Goodnight Tikki
Tikki: Goodnight Marinette. Goodnight Captain
Marinette wrapped her arms around Captain snuggling her face into his fur as Tikki laid down on top of Captain
The next day
The class all gathered down in the lobby Marinette and Captain came down last but on time
And of course since Marinette looked happy and had Captain with her Lila had to throw a hissy fit
Lila: What are you doing Marinette. They probably don't allowed dogs at Wayne Enterprise
Ms. Bustier: She's right Marinette you shouldn't bring your dog with you. Captain will have to stay here.
Marinette: But Ms. Bustier I made sure to call ahead of time to make sure it was okay. And you wouldn't want Captain to be locked into a small room all day would you
As Marinette said that Captain looked to Ms. Bustier with the biggest puppy dog eyes he could muster
Ms. Bustier looking into Captain eyes and just couldn't say no
Ms. Bustier: Fine, but he's your responsibility Marinette, and I don't want to see any funny business between either of you. If I see either of you step a toe or paw out of line Captain will be spending the rest of his time in your hotel room. Am I understood?
Marinette: Yes Ms. Bustier! Thank you so much.
Marinette gave a big smile to her teacher before heading back to the class. Standing in the back of the group little away from every one.
Marinette: Dont worry Captain we just have to get through the tour then we can go meet up with Damian again, and we get to meet his dog Titus this time.
Captain gave her another quick kiss on the cheek when he heard somebody approach them
Adrien: Marinette why do you have to cause so much trouble. Captain would have been perfectly fine in the hotel room for a day
Captain forced his body between Adrien and Marinette not wanting the rude boy near his girl
Marinette: well good morning to you too Adrien. I don't see how having Captain with me is causing any problems. He literally only interacts with me. And for your information Captain would not be okay in the hotel all day today and then have to do it again tomorrow. Yesterday I made sure to call all the places we're going to over the trip to find out of Captain could along or not. Since we're spending all day tomorrow going to different museums he won't be able to come with us it would be cruel to lock him up all day 2 days in a row
Adrien: But he's still upsetting Lila, you know could happen if she gets too upset.
Marinette: I don't think a butterfly could fly across the Pacific Ocean Adrien, much less in the time frame we'll be here
Ms. Bustier: Okay everyone let's all get on the bus
Marinette: you better go ahead Adrien. You probably want go sit with your FRIENDS
Adrien catching onto what Marinette was hinting at gave her a small glare, but still ran to catch up to Nino, Alya, and Lila
Captain pressed his head into Marinette's side and tikki did the same.
Marinette: Thanks guys I'm okay
Marinette put one hand on Captain's head and the other on top of her purse
Damian checked over him and Titus one more time to make sure they both looked good
Bruce: I don't suppose your suddened interest in how you and Titus look have anything to do with that little French girl you met the other day
Damian: Don't be ridiculous father-
Dick: It totally does! You should have seen how those two looked at eachother. It was like love at first sight
Damian: GRAYSON!
Jason: it was so ridiculously sweet and she evan has her own dog, a german sheperd
Damian: TODD!
Tim: I did a bit more research, you know to make sure she wasn't a villian in disguise, and according to the adoption records his name is Captain and he use to be a police dog
Damian: DRAKE!! Would you all just stay out of my love life!
Bruce: They just care about you Damian. Weither you like it or not. You should have seen them when Dick first brought home Cori.
Once they got to Wayne Enterprise the family went their separate ways to complete their duties
Damian and Titus hung around Dick waiting for Marinette, Captain, and her class to arrive.
Cheryl: So I heard that you met somebody special yesterday Damian
Damian: wait how do you know about Marinette? Dick???
Dick: Well I had to tell her in case Marinette called yesterday I wanted to be the one she talked to.
Damian: Do you have to share my love life with everybody you know
Cheryl: It's just because we love you Damian. Now tell me everything.
Damian was about to respond with a sarcastic comeback when the class arrived
Dick: Hello welcome to Wayne Enterprise, I'm Dick Grayson I'll be your tour guide today. And this is my little brother Damian and his dog Titus. I hope y'all don't mind but he'll be joining us on your tour today
Ms. Bustier: Not at all it's always nice to make new friends when you're some where new
Damian made his way towards the group his eyes set on Marinette who just walk in after making sure Captain did his business before the long tour, but was intercepted by Lila.
Lila: Hello I am Lila it is nice to meet you
Lila began to speak with a heavy Italian accent.
She was the worst at speaking English in the class
The rest of the class finished introducing themselves when Marinette made it to the group
Damian: It's nice to meet you all, Marinette mentioned she was here with her class.
Alya: Marinette?
Marinette: Damian?
Damian flashing a charming smile: Hey Angel, I hope you don't mind but I found out my brother giving the tour for your class and asked if I could come along.
Damian walked over to Marinette and Captain with Titus following him
Damian: Hello Captain, how are you doing buddy?
Damian slowly lowered his hand giving Captain plenty of time to move away incase Captain didn't want to get a pat from him
Captain decided he would allow it partly because he had to admit he kinda like this kid, and partly because he knew it would freak out some of her class
Kim: Ah he touched Captain
Kim sadly learned the hard way that it took a while for Captain to warm up to someone new
Marinette: And this handsome boy must be Titus
Marinette held her hand out to let Titus sniff her.
Titus being the loving goofball he is gave her hand a big lick before snuggling his head into her hand
Marinette giggling: Well he's a friendly boy huh
Alya: You two know each other?
Marinette: Yeah we met yesterday at the park and just hit it off
Lila with a strained voice: Well isn't that great that you were able to make a new friend.
Damian and Marinette noticed the strain in Lila's voice but it didn't seem like anybody else had or if they did they ignored it
Dick: Alright everybody with introductions out of the way let's get started
Damian and Marinette fell to the back of the group so the can walk side by side with their dogs
While this was going on Titus and Captain were sniffing eachother out as they walked together
Captain: Hello I'm Captain
Titus: I'm Titus. I have just met you, and I love you
Titus gave Captain a big lick on the side of his head
Captain: That's great... So he's your boy
Titus: Yep he's been my boy for years now. He acted like he didn't like me at first but I knew he loved me
Captain: Is he your first human?
Titus: Yes, his father gave me to him when I was 7 months old. What about you, is she your first human?
Captain: No, my girl didn't find me until I was 3 years old. Before her i was a police dog. My partner was my first human. He was a great man and a great police officer. He always made sure I was well fed and when it was a slow night he would take me to the park and play fetch with me...
Captain trailed off his mind going back to the night he lost his partner
Titus: What happened to your first human?
Captain snapping out of his memories: I don't like to talk about it
Titus: Well what about your girl, how do you like her?
Captain: My girl is the best. She saved me from the pound. Her parents brought her there for one of the adoption events, at the time I didn't even know if I wanted another human. I was there for a couple of months, and didn't really have much hope to find a new family. Most people just go for the puppies. So I was just sitting in a corner away from everybody else when this girl comes walking towards. She seemed so sad at the time, like me. She asked me if I wanted to be alone together with her, and i looked into her eyes and something just clicked you know? Like she was also suppose to be my person. After that life turned around for me. My girl just has so much love to give.
Titus: I know what you mean it was the same with me and my boy. Do you have any siblings or a mate?
Captain: No my girl and her family live in a small apartment, so one big dog is their limit. I wouldn't mind having a mate one day though. I do have a couple of friends in Paris and the local dog park, and there's Fang, who's crocodile
Titus: you have a crocodile as a friend cool. I have one older sister Ace, no mate myself yet. I do also have a cat and cow as a friend
Captain: Nice
During the tour Damian noticed that some of Marinette's classmates (Alya, Adrien, and Lila) kept shooting dirty looks back at his Angel
He did his best to not glare back at them, but when Adrien did it for the 10th time on the tour when Marinette wasn't doing anything but softly giggling at stuff Damian whispered in her ear Damian had enough
The next time Adrien looked back at her Damian gave him the scariest look he could muster, which is very scary
Adrien widened his eyes and turned his head around quickly not looking back for the rest of the tour
Dick seeing about half of the interaction assumed that Damian glared out of jealousy and shot him an amused looked when he caught Damian's eyes
After the tour Marinette convinced Ms. Bustier to let her go off with Damian for their free roam
Ms. Bustier let her but made sure she wore the tracking bracelet so incase something happened she would know where Marinette is at
Damian and Marinette decidind to go to a near by dog park to let the dogs roam free
On the way out Damian noticed Adrien quickly walking over to them with a determined look on his face
Not wanting to deal with the annoying blonde Damian quickly guided Marinette outside and into the car
Marinette already figuring out whi Damian really was didn't question it and just let Damian lead her into the car
Damian: I thought you'd be a little more shocked about it
Marinette: I kinda figured it out when Mr. Grayson said you were his little brother
Once they made it to the park the dogs started to run around together and seem to play a game of chase even though Captain seemed a little more reluctant to act a bit crazier like Titus
Marinette: Well it seems like they like eachother
Damian watching Titus give Captain a big lick on the side of his head before running off leaving Captain with what could only be described as disgruntled look on his face.
Damian chuckling: Yeah they sure do
The pair spent another 2 hours at the park going back and forth with sitting in the shade watching their dogs run through the nice dog park and playing fetch with a stick the dogs found
They spent the rest of the afternoon wondering around Downton Gotham Damian showing Marinette all the best sites
As sunset came Damian found himself once again standing in front of the hotel holding Marinette's hands as Captain and Titus watch the interaction
Damian blushing: I've had a great time today Marinette
Marinette: So did I
Damian: I was wondering if you would like to go out to dinner with me tomorrow night, like a date?
Marinette also blushing: I would love to, but can Captain come along
Damian: Of course beside Captain is going to be stuck in your hotel room all day tomorrow it wouldn't be fair to make him stuck in a small room for even longer.
Marinette gave him a beaming smile: Thank you for understanding Damian
Damian: Of course I'll pick you up tomorrow at 7 wear whatever you like.
Marinette hugged Damian goodbye giving him a peck on the cheek as she pulled away
Marinette: I can't wait! Goodnight Damian I'll see you tomorrow
Damian in a dreamg voice: Goodnight Marinette, Captain
Once Marinette and Captain were out of site Damian jumped up and gave a whooped of joy completely forgetting that Alfred could still see him from the car.
Bonus
Alfred on the phone with Bruce: It looks like Damian just asked her put and she said yes
Bruce on the other side of the phone silently fist bumped the air mouthing yes over and over again
Bruce in a monotone voice: That's good
Dick: omg you guys I wish you were there! They spent most of the time quietly whispering to each other and Damian glared at a boy who kept glancing at Marinette it was the cutest thing.
