Ok, so this is a few different people’s prompts/ideas in one! The gist is the aftermath of Adrien and Alya getting sued and thinking they did nothing wrong and blame Mari n get mad at her. And then a small(??) little thing of whats happened in Damian’s POV. id post the prompts but theyre long and its a hassle sometimes to deal with on Tumblr or even on AO3.

Adrien was growling as he stormed into school. Yesterday the lawyers met with him and his father to talk about Mari’s demands. And his father agreed to everything demanded even when he said no. He did nothing wrong! This just isn’t fair! They’re friends for goodness sake! He just couldn’t figure out why this is happening!

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

Alya was practically spitting fire at this point. She couldn’t understand!

She was the reporter!

She brought down justice!

She was the victim here!

She started typing angrily on her laptop in her room, planning on exposing Mari for the fake she is. Right alongside Lila Rossi. She smirked happily at the thought. Not even their cronies could stop her!

���Alya! There’s someone here to see you!” Nora called out and Alya groaned, a scowl painted her lips.

“Coming!” she shouted leaving her room and seeing at the door was a lady wearing a suit and her parents glaring at her along with Alya. “What?” she asked looking between them confused.

“You are being sued, Alya,” her mom said and Alya scowled.

“Mari has to be bluffing,” she said and the suit lady shook her head.

“Mz. Dupain-Cheng is not bluffing, Mz. Cesaire. She is suing you for defamation, harassment, and attacking her. She is asking that this stays out of court. So, she asks that you delete your blog, never write anything about her again, or talk or come near her ever again. You do that, then this won’t go to court. But if you break a single thing then she will take you to court and sue you for the money needed to pay for her medical bills,” the woman said holding the file to Alya’s mom who took it and skimmed throu it. Her face was pale when she finished and she nodded hurriedly.

“Yes, we agree with that. I’ll do it right now,” Mrs. Cesaire said pushing Alya into her room and sitting down at the desk with the lawyer right behind her, watching as her mom deleted her blog.

“What! No! She can’t do that!” Alya cried and both the lawyer and her mom turned to glare at her.

“Yes, she can. You pushed her down concrete stairs and caused her to be paralyzed for the rest of her life, young lady. Your lucky she isn’t suing you for the medical bill now,” her mom said clicking delete while Alya screeched in outrage.

“Good. I hope you don’t have to hear from us again. The Dupain-Chengs will also like to say this, your daughter is banned from ever entering the bakery or even buying from the bakery ever again. Your family is only allowed to buy for special occasions, otherwise, they don’t wish to see you in their bakery,” she said and Alya’s parents sighed but nodded understanding.

“We understand. Please, tell them how very sorry we are that this happened,” she said and the lawyer nodded.

“I will. Good day,” the lawyer gave a nod before leaving. When Alya opened her mouth to say something, both her parents and Nora glared at her. Alya’s mouth slipped shut as she hunkered slightly at the looks.

“You are in a lot of trouble, young lady,” her mom said while her dad nodded agreement and Alya looks away with a glare.

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

Mari didn’t know what she was rolling into when she entered the courtyard talking to Chloe, Nino, and Lila. The two were doing way better now and doing everything they could to show they were turning over a new leaf for the wheelchair-bound girl. And that pleased Mari greatly. She could see how sincere they were too.

“Marinette!” Adrien shouted stomping up to the girl. Mari glared at Adrien and noticed Alya was outside the school, her phone raised. Looks like they planned this, Mari thought as Adrien stopped them before they got too far from the entrance.

“What do you want, Agreste? You know the restraining order’s details,” she said coldly and watched from the corner of her eye as Ivan went and got their teacher Lana.

“It’s not fair the terms you demanded! I did nothing wrong!” Adrien shouted and Mari glared while Alya smiled sickeningly at that.

“Ya, I can’t believe you forced me to shut down the LadyBlog! And threatened my mom to get her to agree!” Alya added and that had students looking at the group warily.

“I didn’t threaten anyone, Cesaire, Agreste,” that had most of the students flinching at how cold her tone was. “You two caused me so much pain. My demands are quite reasonable. I had to keep my lawyers from demanding more. As for the threat you say, Cesaire, I’m fully inclined to ask you to pay all my medical bills since you caused me to be in this wheelchair. And from the position of your phone,” she gives Alya’s phone a pointed look and smirk, “you’re breaking the terms of the agreement already and will be taken to court to see if a judge, which they probably will, agree to my terms of my assaulter, you, paying for all my medical bills that resulted from the attack,” she said and everyone glared at Alya.

“That’s just ridiculous!” Alya shouted.

“Marinette, this is out of control. We’re your friends!” Adrien said and Mari scowled while the rest of the class grimaces. They understood what they did wrong. They knew they aren’t friends with Mari anymore.

They were civil.

They did what they could to show Mari they were sorry but knew not to push. But those two didn’t get the message.

“No, Cesaire, Agreste, we aren’t friends, nor is it ridiculous. Agreste, you harassed me for trying to tell everyone the truth. You treated me like I was the one causing all the bullying. And Cesaire, you pushed me down concrete stairs. You put me in a wheelchair. You published articles slandering me and my family. I am perfectly in my right to sue you for assault and slander. We aren’t friends, nor will we ever be friends, nor will I ever think about you again. You are dead to me. I don’t care what you do with your lives as long as you never talk to me again or try slandering my name,” she said and right then Lana came over with a stern expression as she grabbed Adrien’s arm and marched over to Alya and grabbed her arm as well.

She glared at the two as she forced them to sit on the steps. “You two knew the terms of the restraining order. You two are in big trouble. I’ve already contacted your parents and the police and we will stay here until they arrive. Miss Dupain-Cheng explicitly stated in the restraining order that if caught breaking the terms and conditions, she will take you to court. You better hope your parents take it easy on you,” Lana said and the two gulped as they stared at the icy expression on their now former teachers face.

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

Damian smirked as he watched Miss Grayson walk the two hooligans out of the courtyard. He was pleased to see the two getting what they deserved as he watched their parents arrive berating them while the police arrived themselves and put them into their cruiser to take them to the station.

People were muttering around him when they saw Agreste’s father, Gabriel, appear since the man was practically a cryptid. He rolled his eyes at that as he made his way over to Mari with a small smile on his lips. “Are you alright, Angel?” he asked leaning down to press a chaste kiss to her lips before looking over her face.

“Yes, I’m alright, Dove. A little shaken, but fine,” she answered and he nodded with a small smile.

“That’s good. Why don’t we get to class now?” he suggested and Mari nodded and let Damian push her forward, Lila and Chloe following them.

Ok, ya, this is short. But, ive been losing inspiration for this fic. Im sorry. For the time being, this fic is now on Hiatus. I dont know when or if I’ll come back to this. You can keep sending prompts but just be warned that itll be quite a while before their used. Again Im sorry, I hope you enjoyed this chap nonetheless. Until next time -Love Willa<3<3

I Thought You Wouldn’t Hurt Me, But You Did Part 2

AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/22839535/chapters/54860722

Tag List(?): @marinettepotterandplagg

Ok, so here’s the second part for ‘I Thought You Wouldn’t Hurt Me, But You Did’!!! I’m so glad you guys enjoyed it!! I hope you guys enjoy this second part just as much!! Anyways, here is the second part, i hope you enjoy it n that i did it justice!!!

Lana ran into an alley as Tikki flew from her purse. “Probably one of Mari’s ex-classmates,” she muttered and Tikki nodded her agreement. “Tikki, spots on!” Once she was transformed, she swung up onto the roof and started looking around. She quickly opened her yo-yo up and called up Jinx who answered immediately.

“I see you heard. We’re near the Grand Paris Hotel, Ladybird,” Junx said and she nodded at that.

“Alright, see you in a few, Jinx,” Ladybird said before running in that direction. Ladybird landed on the roof nearby and looked around. She yelped in surprise as she dropped flat against the roof to avoid being hit. Jinx landed on the roof next to her and they looked down at the Akuma causing trouble. “Who is it?”

“Alya. She’s going by Teller and can force people to tell the truth and turn them into children,” Jinx explained and Ladybird nodded looking down at Teller. Teller wore a black skin-tight suit with a white open book and pen on her chest. Around her waist was a belt that had paper planes all around it. In her hand was her phone that was changed to look like a book.

“You didn’t by any chance see where the Akuma was?” she asked and he shook his head. “Ok, gotta find that. Best bet would be in her phone.”

“Ah, the last couple times it was in her phone,” Jinx mused and Ladybird nodded.

“Exactly. The biggest tell would be if she had the ladybug charm still,” she added and Jinx nodded his agreement. “Let’s go.” The two jump down onto the street in front of Teller who growled at them.

“Give me your miraculous, Ladybird, Jinx. You two aren’t worthy of them!” Teller yelled and the two didn’t look impressed.

“And you think Hawkmoth is?” Ladybird asked and Jinx laughed at that.

“That fucker isn’t worthy of the miraculous he’s wearing!” Jinx said. Teller snarled at the two of them when they said that.

“Let’s find out what really happened to Ladybug and Chat Noir! They are worthy opponents,” Teller said raising her phone and swiped. Ladybird and Jinx dove to the sides to avoid being hit and landed on their feet. Ladybird grabbed her yo-yo and with a movement, it extended to form a bo-staff. Jinx held his staff pointed at Teller who looked between the two frowning. Teller’s phone charm glinted in the sun and the two heroes shared a look and nodded.

Spinning their staffs, they stopped the projectiles Teller was throwing their way. Ladybird jumped forward and swung her staff at Teller who jumped back and landed on top of a car. Teller pulled off the paper airplanes and started throwing them at the heroes who either jumped around dodging or used their weapons to block them. Soon, the two of them landed behind a car and watched as Teller started attacking other people. “I think we’re going to need Lucky Charm,” Jinx said and Ladybird nodded her agreement. With a swipe of her hand, the yo-yo staff turned back into a yo-yo.

Standing up, Ladybird swung her yo-yo a bit before throwing it up into the air. “Lucky Charm!” With a flash of light, a spotted toy turtle fell down into her hands. “Tortue,” she mumbled and Jinx nodded agreement. “Get Tortue while I distract her,” Ladybird said and Jinx nodded, taking the toy from her.

“Stay safe until we get back. Who knows what those paper planes will do to you,” he said and she nodded.

“Of course, now go,” Ladybird said with a smile before running out from behind the car. She pulled the wrap off her waist and snapped it out. The fabric hardened as it elongated to look like a ribbon and a weight formed at the other end. Using her yo-yo to protect herself, she snapped her whip around, taking down paper planes that threatened to hit people.

“Ladybug taught you well, imposter,” Teller growled and Ladybird raised a brow at that. “But it’s going to mean nothing when I take the miraculous from you and learn what happened to her!” Teller yelled throwing a paper plane at her once more. Ladybird destroyed it quickly and went on the defensive.

Jinx ran to the school and landed on the roof. He looked down and saw that most of the school was hiding. Mari and her friends were in the courtyard still waiting for the fight to be over. Lucky for him, it was only the friends that knew about the secret were with her. The others ran to hide apparently. Not that he could blame them. The Akuma was going after Mari and anyone who sided with her.

With a whistle, Jinx tossed the toy down before ducking from view. The four watched Jinx duck from view as the item he threw fell to them. Ivan caught the item and revealed it to be a toy turtle and smirked. “I’ll be back,” Ivan said and the group nodded.

“See ya after the call,” Mari said as Ivan ran out of the school and into an alley and quickly transformed. After transforming, Tortue made his way up onto the roof and nodded to Jinx. The two made their way over to Ladybird and Teller. As they arrived, Ladybird dove to the side and rolled right over to a car and jumped. She pushed off the car and flew over Teller, using both the whip and yo-yo to knock out paper planes. As she landed safely behind a car, Jinx and Tortue landed beside her and crouched down.

“What do you need?” Tortue asked and Ladybird nodded at Jinx.

“We need to separate Teller from her phone,” Ladybird started looking over the car and watching Teller move.

“But she’s quick to re-grab her phone when we get her to stumble,” Jinx continued which had Tortue nodded. “If I’m correct, we need you to use Shelter and keep Teller inside after we get her phone away from her.” The two looked at Ladybird who smirked.

“Spot on, Jinx,” Ladybird replied and Jinx shared her smirk.

“OK, sounds good,” Tortue replied pulling his shield off his back.

“Stay over here, we’ll knock her over to you. If she still has her phone knock it away,” Ladybird said and Tortue nodded understanding.

“Got it.”

Jinx and Ladybird both jumped out into the open and Teller snarled at them. The person she just hit with a paper plane ran screaming with tears falling. Their girlfriend picked the now child up and hugged them close while hiding in the hotel. They ran toward Teller, knocking aside every plane and projectile she threw at them with ease. 

Ladybird threw her yo-yo at Teller and it wrapped around her phone. Jinx quickly hit Teller in the stomach, sending her flying toward Tortue. Teller yelled out as her phone flew toward Ladybird while she went to Tortue. “Shelter!” Tortue shouted as Teller got close. She was then stuck in the cover with Tortue and growled, pounding against the barrier.

Ladybird chucked the phone onto the ground and watched satisfied as the Akuma flew from the phone. “No more evil for you, little butterfly. Time to purify!” With a quick swing, the butterfly was caught in her yo-yo. “Goodbye, little butterfly,” she said tapping the middle of her yo-yo letting the now purified butterfly fly away. The barrier disappeared as Teller turned back into Alya who looked confused. Tortue came over to Ladybird and handed her the toy. She then tossed the toy up and yelled: “Miraculous Ladybug!”

As the ladybugs flew around fixing everything, Ladybird, Jinx, and Tortue all went over to Alya who was quick to pull her phone from Jinx and start recording. Jinx scowled at her when she did that. “Ladybird,-”

“Alya, stop. You won’t be receiving any more interviews. You need to stop chasing after battles, you could get hurt,” Ladybird said and Alya looked shocked.

“But-but what about those other reporters!?” she demanded and Ladybird shook her head while Jinx rolled his eyes.

“They actually keep away and record from a safe distance and ask professional questions,” Jinx said and Alya looked offended. “You, on the other hand, are just a tabloid writer,” he finished.

“I’m not a tabloid writer!” she yelled and Ladybird sighed as her earrings beeped along with Tortue’s bracelet.

“No matter. We aren’t giving you any interviews so stop running into battles,” Ladybird said and Alya was frowning at them.

“At least tell me what happened to Ladybug! And what about Chat Noir!? He did nothing wrong!” she yelled and their miraculous beeped once more.

“I’ll answer that,” Jinx said nodding to the two. Ladybird smiled at him before swinging off with Tortue behind her. “As we told the press before, Chat Noir wasn’t behaving correctly. He wasn’t worthy of holding a miraculous. As for Ladybug, she can’t fight anymore. That’s all we’re telling anyone,” Jinx said with a glare before running off himself.

Lana was shaking her head as she and Ivan returned to the school’s courtyard. “Who was Akumatized?” Mari asked as they stopped in front of them.

“Alya. she had the ability to force people to tell the truth and turn them into children,” Lana replied and Mari shook her head.

“Did Cesaire try interviewing you?” Chloe asked and Lana rolled her eyes.

“Yes, she doesn’t like the answer provided for why Ladybug and Chat Noir aren’t here anymore. She wasn’t too pleased to be told she’d get no more interviews. But whatever. It had to be done,” Lana said and that had everyone nodding in agreement.

~~~~~~~~~~~~(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧~~~~~~~~~~~~

Over the course of the week of everyone being suspended, excluding Alya and Alix who demonstrated the entire thing and was expelled, Lila had gone up to everyone and apologized. She told them she had lied and was sorry. Everyone was shocked to learn why she had lied though. But they couldn’t say who was more surprised. Mari or the student body.

Lila had been jealous of how popular and well-liked Mari was. She wanted to be the same and knew of only one way to do that. The way her mom showed her. Lie and manipulate people and they’ll follow your every word. That had everyone shocked to hear. But Mari was also proud that Lila had told the truth and apologized.

As soon as Sabrina heard though, she had contacted her dad and told him what had happened. So he told Lila to come to him if her mother asks her to do anything she doesn’t want to do or neglects her. Lila had smiled at that and nodded. Mari’s parents were more than happy to act as good parental figures for the girl. Mari could be honest and say that it was weird. And no one could blame her.

Who wouldn’t be weirded out when your rival/enemy turned out a new leaf and hung around your home being treated nicely by your parents?

It was slow going, but Mari and Lila bonded over their love of fashion and hatred of people that just used people and turned easily.

Yes. Lila knows that sounds weird. Mari had told her that exactly. But it was still true nonetheless. Her manipulation and lies let her see how people truly were. Only a few people from previous schools earned her respect for staying true to their friends and didn’t use them. They even became her acquaintances! While she would have liked to be friends, she knew that long distant friendships don’t always work, especially if you’ve only known the person for a little.

Mari was proud to prove Lila wrong in that instance and become friends with the girl. Somehow getting her other friends and Damian to be friends with her too.

Not yet.

But soon.

They didn’t become friends quickly.

Mari?

Yes, they became friends quickly because that was Mari’s personality. Make friends everywhere as quickly as possible. And yes, they both knew that that was a flaw as well. Yes, Mari was sad about that since it was proven by Lila that it wasn’t always good.

The others though?

Well, that depended on the person. They varied on how quick they were to declare their friendship. Chloe being second to last to declare it while Damian proudly declared his last. A week after Chloe had declared them friends. He was a tough nut to crack and become friends with.

She was even friendly with Damian’s brother Jason! Though he only allowed that AFTER Damian said they were friends. He trusted Damian’s judgment since he was around her the most. His girlfriend, Lana, had been fairly quick in giving her a second chance and becoming friendly with her.

Mari had practically beamed when her boyfriend said Lila was his friend. Lila was even prouder when she learned that his friend’s best friend had taken a year for him to say they were friends. But he admits that he was different back then. But Lila took the very small victory of that.

But what shocked everyone the most?

Learning that Lila was now scared of Alya. She admitted her fear to Rose and Mari when they ran across Alya out in public. When she first saw Alya, she had flinched to hard it looked like she had been struck.

But how could she not be scared?

Alya put slanderous things on her blog about Mari and then her later on after being expelled. Not to mention she put her ex-friend in a wheelchair. Who knows what she would do to Lila!

No one could blame Lila for being terrified after realizing that. She joined Mari in getting a restraining order for the girl.

The day Adrien returned to class was interesting.

Mari felt bad about it. When Adrien had entered Ms. Bustier’s old classroom, now Lana’s classroom until a new teacher was found, she had flinched hard. It had supposed to be a good day as Mari was returning to her old class since she missed her other friends in Kitty Section. So she and the few others returned to the class to be with their other friends. The two girls that transferred from Mendeleiev’s class went back reluctantly. They didn’t want to leave Mari there but knew some students had made amends wither her.

The others that didn’t?

She ignored them and they ignored her. The only time they didn’t was when they commissioned something or had a class discussion.

In other words?

They were civil.

Though that nearly ended when Mari flinched at seeing Adrien. Lila and Damian both had to be talked down from attacking Adrien. He had opened his mouth when he saw the Mari and Damian were in the front row next to the door and Lila and Chloe were in the row next to them. Lana had raised her hand with a ‘tsk’.

“Adrien, do you remember your restraining order?” she asked and Adrien sighed and nodded.

“Yes, Ms. Grayson. But where do I sit? Mari-” he winced at the glares he got from the four. “Marinette is in my seat,” he restarted and Lana hummed.

“Well, as you can see, the back row on the other side is free. Sit next to the window. You won’t be breaking the restraining order by sitting there. But you are on thin ice,” Lana said and Adrien nodded understanding and trudged up the steps and glanced at Mari but looked away quickly from the glares.

That was why she felt bad.

Her boyfriend and new friend almost attacked Adrien just because she flinched. She was touched that Lila would fight anyone that dared hurt her. But she would feel bad. She wasn’t sure how Lila would react if she flinched in the presence of Alya. But who knows. Lila is also scared of Alya.

So instead she had to worry about her other friends attacking Alya. She loved her friends, but they can be a tad intense.

Her parents had their moments. Their moments of sadness hitting. Moments of forgetting. They did their best but Mari couldn’t blame them. She had days when she couldn’t leave the bed as sorrow ran through her at thinking she couldn’t walk again. Sometimes they were so busy doing something, they forgot that they couldn’t ask Mari to help them easily. Damian and Jason helped when they could since Tom and Sabine needed more help in both the front and back. Mari did what she could, but she could only handle the register. But she was determined to be able to handle the front.

Listening to her friends talking about patrol and still freaking out about learning she was Ladybug was fun. Chloe always just said ‘Of course’ while shaking her head. Mari laughed when she heard that. “Of course Mari would be Ladybug! No one could match her sweetness and uncanny want to help people!” Chloe said which had her laughing as the others nodded their agreement.

“Don’t forget how she always disappeared during an attack and no one knew where she was until she came back with a stuttering excuse of getting caught by the Akuma,” Lana added teasingly which had Mari groaning while the others nodded agreement.

“Give me a break ok! Half the time I was tired and the other half it just made sense!” Mari said in defense.

“It was fun hearing them, Mari,” Lana said which had them nodding once more.

“How are you two doing though?” Mari asked looking between Jason and Lana. Lana smiled at Mari as Tikki laid in Mari’s hair.

“We’re doing fine,” Lana answered giggling when Jason starting tickling her side. “Jason!”

“We’re only doing so well thanks to you, Mari. Our training as vigilantes in Gotham would only take us so far,” Jason said finally stopping his tickle assault. Mari and her friends laughed while Damian smirked at his brother. Though Mari did have a faint blush as Jason’s words.

“It was nothing, really. Tikki is the one that really helped,” Mari said.

“Tikki only could help so much. And you know that Mari. Don’t fight out words, we won’t back down,” Lana said which had Tikki nodding her agreement.

“You’re a great teacher, Marinette. Don’t put yourself down,” Tikki said hugging the top of Mari’s head.

“Ok, I give. But you are doing really well holding the miraculous,” Mari said and the two nodded, shifting a bit. Soon, Jason was leaning comfortable against the wall and Lana leaned against his chest.

“Did you know people are still talking about Jinx and Ladybird’s relationship? I would have thought it would have died down weeks ago,” Lana mused.

“Fans are weird,” was all Mari could say.

“Half the people are girls and boys that want to get with one of you,” Chloe said bluntly which caused Lana to blush while Jason laughed. He hugged her close when he saw her blush and nuzzled her head. She lightly smacked her hand against his arm while pouting slightly.

“Don’t need to laugh, bae,” Lana mumbled as Jason pulled her even closer if that was possible.

“You’re just too cute, babe,” he mumbled back which had her relaxing against him as he continued to hug her.

“Did you face that as Ladybug, Mari?” Lana asked and Mari waved one hand.

“Eh. I had my fair share. But they were outvoiced by the people that wanted LadyNoir to happen. But since you two are together, they don’t really have to voice their opinion about your relationship,” Mari said and Lana nodded at that.

“Ah. Parisians are crazy, no offense,” Lana said which had them laughing.

“No need. We all know it. A Parisian visited Gotham and didn’t even blink when a villain attacked!” Mari said which had the three Gothamites laughing.

“That’s true,” Lana said.

“But it is annoying that they ship human people with others,” Jason admitted.

“Yeah. But no hero is safe from it sadly,” Chloe butt in and Mari nodded.

“Yeah, but some are more vocal than others,” Mari added in.

“No kidding,” Lana replied rolling her eyes as Jason relaxed once more against the wall.

“I don’t think I’ve heard many people in Gotham this vocal about their hero/vigilante shipping,” Jason said.

“Parisians are extra,” Nathaniel said popping into the conversation before going back to sketching.

“That they are,” Damian said taking Mari’s hand into his.

Ok, so this is all I have for the second part. I hope you guys like it. Let me say this, if you want me to write another part, PLEASE send me a prompt. Whether thru the comments or thru Tumblrs asks(be wary since its wonky n weird). And i’ll do them. Anyways, i’ll see you next time!! -Love Willa<3<3<3

I Thought You Wouldn’t Hurt Me, But You Did Part 7

AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/22839535/chapters/57350506 Taglist: @marinettepotterandplagg @emo-elaine13 @queenmj10

Prompt Given: Somehow I would like to see Gabriel talking with Mari and apologizing for Adrien’s behavior. And maybe a look in Alya's headlines would be interesting like his thoughts on all this. Same for Adrien his thoughts. 

Thank you for your kind thoughts people. Here’s the next part thanks for the interesting prompt! I hope u guys enjoy this!!

Adrien couldn’t believe what was happening. First, Mari was put into a wheelchair. Then he was stripped of being Chat Noir. And now?

NOW!?

Now he was being sued!

By Mari no less.

He couldn’t believe it. His own friend suing him. And demanding that he doesn’t call her Mari anymore. He just, couldn’t believe it. Even is father agreed with Mari and he couldn’t attend classes until Mari transferred back into Ms. Bustier’s class. But it wasn’t Bustier anymore either. It was their TA Ms. Lana Grayson. And she was tough. She made sure he couldn’t talk to Mari at all before, during, or after class. And during other classes and after school, Mari’s friend made sure he couldn’t.

It was just stupid.

All of it.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng Finally Gets What She Deserves

Karma Has Come For Marinette Dupain-Cheng

Lila Rossi Is A Liar

Wrongfully Expelled- Done Nothing Wrong

Gabriel sighed as he looked at the headlines the wannabe reporter Alya Cesaire wrote. She was more of a tabloid writer than an actual reporter. Just skimming thru made it clear that Cesaire didn’t fact-check or get more info on anything. She was lucky that the Wayne family didn’t find it and sue her for defamation or destroy her reputation and career.

Maybe they should have.

It would have stopped this trainwreck from happening, he thought with a groan. He had just gotten back from the meeting with the lawyers along with Marinette’s lawyers, and he can confidently say that his son has messed up big time.

His employee Lila though, he couldn’t say.

She at least didn’t go helping Cesaire hurt Marinette.

But even though she didn’t, these headlines show that she helped lead up to it.

And his company could not take that bad publicity.

He sighed in annoyance as he sat down in his office. “Nathalie, clear Adrien’s schedule. Once school is over, he is to stay in this house as punishment. He should consider himself lucky that he’s still able to go to school,” he said and Nathalie nodded understanding. “Clear my schedule for the next hour. I will be talking to Mademoiselle Dupain-Cheng,” he continued and she nodded agreement.

“Of course, sir,” she replied with a bow of her head before leaving.

“Mademoiselle Dupain-Cheng?” he asked once the phone stopped ringing.

“This is Marinette, speaking,” she greeted.

“Hello again. I would like to speak to you personally now if you are able at my office. I feel there are some things that need to be said,” he replied.

“Alright, Monsieur Agreste. I’ll be there soon,” she replied.

“Good. See you soon.”

Mari soon rolled into his office and Nathalie closed the door behind her. “You wished to see me, Monsieur Agreste?” she asked folding her hands into her lap when she stopped in front of his desk.

“Yes. After our meeting with the lawyers, it came to my attention that perhaps I should see what is being said. And in doing so, it has come to my attention that my son has been standing aside doing nothing and letting that tabloid writer do as she pleases. She has written many scathing articles about you and others. It’s a miracle that none of the other people she’s written about has seen it. But I did not ask you here to talk about her. I asked you here to personally apologize for my son’s inexcusable actions toward you,” he said and Mari nodded.

“Thank you, sir. I appreciate your apology. But I doubt Adrien will ever apologize for his actions,” she replied and he nodded at that.

“I’m afraid he won’t, Marinette. Am I correct to assume you wish for this to stay out of court?” he asked and Mari nodded. “Well, then it shall. I don’t care what Adrien wishes for he deserves to pay whatever you wish for. He can afford it from all the money he’s earned as a model,” Gabriel explained and Mari nodded.

“Thank you, sir. If you wish for this to stay out of court, I will have my lawyer fax over what I’m suing for,” she answered and Gabriel nodded.

“Of course. Whatever it is, I’m sure it’s reasonable for what Adrien has done. Once more, I apologize for this happening,” he said and the two shook hands before she left to go do so. Gabriel could only shake his head once more at the thought of what his son and his friends did for this to happen.

Ok so here it is, sorry that this is short, but it did turn out well. I hope you guys enjoyed it! Remember, you can send me prompts or ideas and I’ll write them for this fic! Until next time! -Love Willa<3<3<3

I Thought You Wouldn’t Hurt Me, But You Did Part 4

AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/22839535/chapters/55322512 Tag list: @marinettepotterandplagg @emo-elaine13

Ok, so here’s the next part. I said id show u what happened to Bustier, n ill show u what happened to Bustier! Hope you enjoy this!!

Lana couldn’t believe Bustier was even allowed to get a license for teaching. Bustier is an incompetent woman who can’t keep her naivety out of the classroom. Students shouldn’t be forced to be role models for the other students. While it does come in handy to say be more like that student, she shouldn’t. Students should only worry about tests and homework, not being a good example. But that’s what Bustier did to Mari. And it seems like that isn’t all Bustier did.

As the month went on, her lessons got worse and horrendously unorganized. When she asked, Bustier admitted that she had the class president, Mari, write her lesson plans. She couldn’t even write her own lesson plans!? Lana did not take that well. Especially when Bustier tried getting her to do it instead. She had to restrain herself, then Jason and the others when she told them that.

Lana wasn’t impressed when Bustier expressed her displeasure at that. She even had the gall to get annoyed at Lana when she called her out for putting so much pressure on the Class Representative.

Thou that was nothing to the gossiping and whispers Lana overheard. They bad-mouthed Mari even when she announced to Bustier and the class that she was in the hospital. The class bad-mouthed her still.

Bustier did nothing.

She just stood there acting like she wasn’t hearing it. She droned on about the lesson that half the class wasn’t even fully listening too.

And it frustrated Lana.

And it annoyed Damian.

Several times he’s lashed out at his classmates.

That was the only time Bustier did anything. That was the only time she’d actively tried stopping anything.

Lana did her best but since she had promised Damian she’d be with Mari as much as she could, she wasn’t there to stop it. She’s seen it a few times and stopped the bad-mouthing and had to stop him a couple of times. She’d even glared at the class into silence which made Damian proud. Before she started dating Jason, she couldn’t glare anyone away, but now she could. As Mari would say, they’ve rubbed off on her in the glare department, she made them proud.

But who cares.

She doesn’t anymore.

She was Done™ with the class. Done with listening to the gossiping. Done listening to the bad-mouthing. Done with the nincompoops of a teacher. Done with everything.

Though she couldn’t understand why Lila was so quiet. She just halfheartedly talked about things she’s done, slowly dwindling down to not feeling up to talking about it. And that got those loyal to her grumbling. They enjoyed hearing the stories so that they could focus on something that wasn’t class.

She’s glared so much that she’s worried she wouldn’t be able to not glare anymore from how her face hurt from all the glaring.

She could only smirk when Mendeleiev, the new principal as the board fired Damocles, went up to Bustier and said to come to her office. She followed along after then when Mendeleiev waved her forward. Soon, the three sat down in Mendeleiev’s office and the woman looked between the two young women. “I need to discuss your classroom with you Caline.”

“What do you need to talk about?” Bustier asked tilting her head.

“Your teaching methods to be exact.”

“What about it? It works well for the students,” Bustier said confused and glared when Lana snorted. “If anything, it’s my TA’s methods that need to be talked about.” Lana leveled a looked at Bustier before looking back at Mendeleiev who looked unimpressed at Bustier’s words.

“No Caline. Lana’s methods are fine. Yours are not,” Mendeleiev said and Bustier frowned.

“They work perfectly fine!”

“Lana, along with several students, have brought forth evidence that says otherwise. First, you force a student to be a role model. But scold them when they speak out against bad behavior. You bend to the bully’s will and victim blame. As witnessed when Chloe had bullied Marinette for years before turning a new leaf. That should have been stopped before it even started. Marinette still has some confidence issues and anxiety from that,” Mendeleiev started and Bustier frowned at that.

“Yelling at the bully won’t do them any good. They need to be given a good example,” Bustier argued and the two shook their heads.

“Bustier, no. Bully’s don’t learn from that. What they learn from watching the teacher talk to their victim, is that they can get away with it. It enables them. And not to mention, a good example doesn’t change someone. It takes action by people who want to help the bully change their ways. You may not be saying it, but your actions are the same as telling the bully it’s ok to continue bullying,” Lana spoke up with a glare and Bustier opened her mouth to speak but Mendeleiev spoke up.

“Ms. Grayson is correct. You’ve been enabling bully’s Caline. All the teachers have seen it and have had to deal with it. These students don’t get away with it in any other class because they know they won’t. But in your class, they know they can get away with it. So they don’t change their ways,” Mendeleiev said with a sigh.

“But Chloe did change! It took time but it happened!” she argued and the two others shared an exasperated look.

“No, it didn’t. Marinette helped Chloe with her parental problems. She then helped Chloe learn that she doesn’t need her parents to be exceptional. Chloe learned that having your parent’s approval isn’t important, but having true friends is important. Marinette did that despite what you did,” Mendeleiev rebutted and Bustier looked down at that. “But the biggest problem?”

Bustier looked up at Mendeleiev curious but shrunk down at Mendeleiev’s glare. “W-what?”

“Putting all your responsibilities onto the class representative. Or more correctly, onto Marinette. Ms. Grayson told me you said Marinette made the lesson plans, planned the fundraisers, the trips, and so much more. Things that you should be doing. The class representative’s role is to be the spokesperson of the class, to tell the staff at the council’s meetings what their class would like to happen. Be the bridge between staff and students. They also are only supposed to help new students catch up or help students falling behind get caught up in any way, either by giving them the notes or helping them find a good tutor. The most they should do is maybe help figure out what the class would like to visit. But that’s it. Only if the class would like to visit a certain city or perhaps place. Not plan the whole thing out. That’s the teacher’s job. And something that you apparently were also trying to get Ms. Grayson to do. The TA’s job is to only grade homework and go gather items from the teacher’s lounge or office. Nothing more, nothing less. They are to be shown how to act and do things in the classroom. Not what you’ve been doing.”

“B-but that’s an excellent way to learn!” Bustier argued.

“For who to learn? You’re only doing this to one person. And the only thing they’ve gotten from this is stress and anxiety,” Lana spoke while Mendeleiev nodded agreement.

“The way you’ve gone about teaching is incorrect, and quite frankly? Appalling. At first, I was willing to overlook it and give you a second chance, a chance to change how you work. But, hearing this, I will not. You’re fired, Caline,” Mendeleiev said and Bustier looked shocked.

“B-but you can’t!”

“Yes, I can, Caline.”

“It’s the middle of the year! You can’t just leave the class unsupervised. And the kids will miss me!” Bustier yelled.

“I don’t think all of them will miss you. Some will be happy. The ones that will are the people you enabled, Bustier,” Lana said and Mendeleiev nodded.

“Even if most missed you, I will not change my decision. You are fired. Lana, how do you feel about being the class’s substitute?” Lana smiled at Mendeleiev’s question.

“I’m fine with it. I’ll be their substitute until you find a replacement,” she answered and Mendeleiev nodded while Bustier looked shocked between the two.

“B-but she’s just a TA! She can’t teach a class!” Bustier argued and Mendeleiev smirked at her.

“Is that so? You seemed to think she was perfectly capable of doing your job while Marinette was gone. What’s different now?” Mendeleiev asked smiling as Bustier’s mouth opened and closed several times, now knowing how to respond to that. “There’s nothing different really. Ms. Grayson will be the class’s sub until I can find a suitable replacement. Ms. Grayson, would you go tell Marinette and her friends to expect to be called to my office then tell your class the news?”

“Of course, Principal Mendeleiev,” Lana replied with a nod before standing up and leaving the office as Mendeleiev glared at a cowering Bustier. A soft smile was on Lana’s face as she entered Mendeleiev’s classroom. The entire room looked at her as she walked over to Mari’s table. “Expect to be called into Mendeleiev’s office soon.”

“Why?” Mari asked tilting her head while her friends and boyfriend also showed confusion. Her smile grew slightly as she looked between them, and then to the other students that looked intrigued.

“Well, Bustier is being fired as we speak. I’ll be the class’s sub for the time being,” she replied and Mari beamed at her.

“Awesome!” Mari said and Lana nodded.

“I’ll see you later, gotta go tell the class now,” Lana said with a nod before she left the classroom. She soon reached Bu-no her classroom and pushed the door open. “Class!” She called clapping her hands as she walked to stand in front of the desk.

“Where’s Ms. Bustier?” Mylene asked raising her hand and Lana nodded at the girl’s question.

“Ms. Bustier won’t be your teacher anymore. Principal Mendeleiev and the board have agreed that she is not a good fit to teach anymore. I’ll be your substitute until they find a good replacement,” Lana explained and Mylene nodded along with a couple of others while the others looked shocked and confused.

“Wasn’t a good fit? Why!?” Kim asked shocked.

“Well, she put too much pressure and responsibility onto a teen, the class representative. But also, the way she handled that class was incorrect. But that is all I shall say. Just know, I’m your new teacher until further notice,” Lana said and the class nodded understanding.

Ok, so here it is! I hope you enjoyed it! Remember, if you want another part just send me a prompt or idea you want to see via comments or messages/DMs! Until next time! -Love Willa<3<3<3

I Thought You Wouldn’t Hurt Me, But You Did Part 6

AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/22839535/chapters/55897732 Tag list: @emo-elaine13 @marinettepotterandplagg

Ok, so here’s the next part asked by for Snow_Leopard_777 and ArchangelBloodraven!! This chap...goes before chap 5 I guess. Lol. I hope you guys enjoy it!!

Manon and Chris couldn’t believe their eyes when they first went over to Mari’s place to be watched. Chris had been given a warning from his brother, saying that Mari was different, that it wasn’t going to be like the last time Mari babysat him. But he wasn’t told HOW it was going to be different. He couldn’t blame his brother for not saying how, there wasn’t a good way to SAY how. Any way he could have said would have sounded blunt or mean or pitiful. The only pity Nino had was the pity that he didn’t act faster. Didn’t stop his classmates from doing that.

Not to say that Mari deserves to be in the wheelchair. She absolutely doesn’t. But she doesn’t need pity. Pity won’t help her heal or get stronger. Nino knows that. So he does whatever she needs to help. And if she wanted a little bit of normalcy by babysitting Manon and Chris, then he’d let her. He’d just be there too in case she needed help and to make sure the two kids didn’t say anything mean about it accidentally.

Manon didn’t know how to react. She and her mom hadn’t gotten any warning. Nadja had signed Mari’s wheelchair sure, but she thought that it wasn’t a permanent thing. Sabine hadn’t said anything besides asking her to sign her daughter’s new wheelchair. So a month after Mari had left the hospital and gone back to school, she thought she’d be walking again. How wrong she was. That was the reason Nadja hadn’t asked Mari to babysit Manon. She had told Manon that Mari was healing after being hurt and Manon was angry but understood that she couldn’t play with Mari. But to learn that Mari would actually never fully heal? Well, Manon didn’t know how to act.

She could only stare shocked as Mari talked with Nadja about watching her. Chris and Nino were already there sitting on the couch playing a game together. Chris waved her over and she climbed onto the couch next to him and he handed her a remote and the three started playing while the two talked.

After playing for about an hour the doorbell rang and Mari went to it. Standing behind it was Nora with her twin sisters, Ella and Etta. “Hey, Marinette. Mom and dad are busy and couch needs me to come in and Alya is grounded from watching them,” she explained and Mari nodded understanding.

“I understand, Nora. I can watch them,” Mari replied and Nora smiled at her thankful.

“Thank you, Marinette,” Nora replied as the two girls ran into the room to play with Manon and Chris. Nora shook Mari’s hand as she stepped out of the apartment with a wave. “I’ll give you the money when I come back. I don’t have any cash on me,” Nora said and Mari waved her hand.

“Nonsense. You don’t have to pay Nora. I adore the girls,” Mari replied and Nora looked shocked.

“I-we’ll continue this when I get back. Be good, Ella and Etta!” Nora called before leaving once she heard their understanding. Mari then went back to the four children and Nino and started playing a game.

~~~~~~~~~~~~(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gabriel couldn’t care less that the original Ladybug and Chat Noir disappeared.

Ok, no.

He did care.

But not for the reason you’d think.

He only cares since the new Ladybug and Chat Noir, excuse him, Ladybird and Jinx, are better. They could typically get the Akuma dealt with quickly. And it pissed him off greatly. He could only growl as he thought about the last Akuma he sent out. It was defeated in an hour. Ladybug and Chat usually took a few hours at least to defeat his Akuma.

But turns out that’s the least of his problems. Turns out his son is being sued and given a few restraining orders. He didn’t understand what happened. Adrien wasn’t telling him and Nathalie was tense anytime he asked. “Nathalie, why is Adrien being sued? I need to deal with this, it’s hurting the brand,” Gabriel spoke and Nathalie looked down at her tablet before typing quickly.

“Marinette Dupain-Cheng is suing Adrien for harassment, sir,” Nathalie said at last after a bit turning the tablet to him to show the papers. Gabriel growled at that as he looked at the tablet.

“Is there anything we can do to stop this?” he demanded.

“I’m not sure, sir,” she replied honestly.

“Get Miss Dupain-Cheng’s number I’m going to talk to her,” Gabriel said and Nathalie nodded understanding and pulled it up before sending it to Gabriel’s phone and walked out of his office. He picked his phone up and dialed the number Nathalie sent him. It rung a few times before she picked up.

“Hello, this is Marinette. Who’s calling?” Mari’s voice came through the receiver.

“Hello, Miss Dupain-Cheng. This is Gabriel Agreste, Adrien’s father. I was calling in the hopes of talking about this lawsuit you have against my son,” he said and he heard faint movement from the other side.

“What are you hoping to happen, Mr. Agreste? Are you hoping that you can threaten me out of suing him?” she asked and Gabriel cleared his throat at that.

“For starters, I’d appreciate knowing the finer details of why you are suing my son,” he answered.

“I don’t have to tell you that. The basics are written in the papers. Any finer details will come out during the talks or trail. I don’t particularly wish to go to court but if Adrien doesn’t cooperate, I will go to court to settle this,” Mari said and he could tell she was serious about this.

“Have you set up the meeting?”

“Yes. My lawyer set up the meeting with yours. It’s soon so you’ll want to talk to your lawyers,” Mari answered coolly. “Good day, Mr. Agreste. See you then.”

She then hung up and Gabriel glared at his phone as he set it on his desk and paged Nathalie at her desk.

“Yes, sir?”

“Get our lawyers here now, Nathalie. We need to figure out everything before the meeting,” Gabriel said and Nathalie nodded understanding.

“Of course sir.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mari shouted as the building shook. The four kids screamed while Mari and Nino worked on calming them down. After getting them calmed down and away from any and all windows, Mari and Nino went to a window to look out it. An Akuma, Mr. Pigeon luckily, was rampaging once more. Ladybird and Jinx were already there fighting him. It was interesting for Mari to watch them fight, was that how I looked fighting him? She thought but shook her head. No use thinking about it, especially since she had a harder time because she had to deal with Chat’s allergy.

No, what she needed to think about was why the building shook.

Mr. Pigeon couldn’t do that. He just controlled pigeons. So what’s causing the buildings to shake.

“Mari!” Nino called pointing a finger out to the side.

“Oh no,” she mumbled. Next to the building Nino’s finger pointed at was a second Akuma. “Go to the kitchen and sit in the corner between the counters. That’ll be safe for us,” Mari said and the four kids went to the counters and sat down. Nino was quick to follow. Mari followed after them and Nino helped her onto the floor before she positioned the wheelchair in front of them. Mari hugged the twins to her while they buried themselves into her sides. Nino hugged Chris and Manon to himself as well and the two hummed softly to the children to calm them.

They stayed like that until the fighting was done. Which took longer because of there being two Akuma’s instead of only one. It was terrifying to be waiting for the fight to be over. The ground shook horribly.

Things fell down.

Pictures broke.

Discs fell into impossible places.

Dust left the ceiling.

Cracks formed in the walls.

Mari didn’t know what to feel except for fear. She was terrified of what was happening. She wasn’t Ladybug. She couldn’t help. She could barely help protect the kids. She could barely hold in her cheers when the Cure was cast and ladybugs flew through the apartment fixing everything. Mari could only sigh in relief when that happened. The twins left her side and let her get back into her wheelchair. Granted, she needed Nino’s help, but once that was done, they went back to the TV to play.

Ok, so here’s this. I hope you guys enjoyed it. Sorry bout how long it took. Also, so, updates are going to be very slow sadly. My laptop is........dying. There’s no better way to put it. I got it a new battery but rn its not seeing it anymore. Its acting like there is no battery. So ya. We’ll see if anything happens when the new cable comes in....but who knows when that’ll happen with this pandemic happening. I just don’t know. My laptop may die soon, or it may not. It’s up in the air, only my laptop knows and it’s not going to tell me. Until next time! -Love Willa<3<3<3

I Thought You Wouldn’t Hurt Me, But You Did Part 3!

Ok so anon wanted Mari n Babs bonding so that’s what ur getting!!!

Mari beamed at Babs as the woman rolled over to Mari, Damian, and her parents. “Hey Babs!” she called and Babs smiled sadly at her.

“Hey, sweetie. How are ya holding up?” Babs asked rolling to a stop in front of her and Mari gave a shrug.

“As well as can be, Babs. How long did it take you?” Babs reaches a hand out and patted Mari’s knee.

“It took me a while to get used to it. But others it didn’t take long. There’s no set time limit for healing. What are you doing to the people who did this though?” Babs answered and relaxed as Tom started pushing her beside Mari toward the car while Damian pushed Mari and Sabine carried her bags.

“She’s suing them. A few have more serious cases while others are tame,” Damian explained and Babs nodded at that.

“Where’s Jason and Lana? I would have thought they’d join you here,” Babs commented and Mari smiled at her.

“Oh, something came up but you’ll see them,” Mari said as they left the airport and got into a car that would take them to Mari’s home. As they drove they came across an Akuma being fought by Jinx and Ladybird.

“That them?” Babs asked and the two nodded. “Makes sense. But shouldn’t there be a warning to not go anywhere?”

“Usually but this Akuma is pretty tame so they didn’t feel like they had to. People know where the battle is so they can still avoid it but there isn’t an active need to keep everyone inside,” Mari explained and Babs slowly nodded.

“Ah, so only if the Akuma is very dangerous does the warning go out to stay inside,” Babs repeated out and Mari nodded. They soon reached the bakery and went into the home while Tom and Sabine went back to the shop. After putting Bab’s suitcase beside the door, he sat down and worked on his homework while the two went into Mari’s room to talk. Mari went over to her bed and pulled herself onto it slowly and looked at Babs sadly, tears started pooling in her eyes. “Oh sweetie,” Babs mumbled following Mari onto the bed. She quickly pulled Mari to her side in a hug, rubbing her hand in circles on her back.

“I-I don’t want to worry everyone but I can’t-I can’t keep acting li-like I’m fine. But if I don’t keep it up I’ll be worrying my friends and family. I can’t talk to Tikki much since Lana has to be near her all the time in case of an Akuma. And the others wouldn’t know what to do. They’d try, mama and papa tried, but it didn’t help. But I pretended like it did so they wouldn’t be upset,” Mari hiccuped out into Bab’s shoulder.

“It’s ok, sweetie. You don’t need to keep pretending that you’re ok. No one expects you to be ok. They know it takes time to heal after something like this happens. Sometimes you just need to cry, someone to let you hug and sob your heart out. Dick did that for me when this happened. You just need to tell them that you just want them to be there to hug you. You just gotta tell them. And if you don’t want to do that, well, I’ll always be available for you to talk to. You shouldn’t go through this alone,” Babs said soothingly as Mari cried. She felt Mari nod her head after a bit. “Do you want to do anything?” she asked after some time of silence. During that time, Mari’s sobbing had gone down.

Mari pulled back showing her red-rimmed eyes and tear tracked cheeks and nodded. “That’d be nice,” she mumbled and Babs smiled at her gently.

“What do you want to do then?” she asked.

“A movie?” she suggested and Babs nodded. “Do you like Star Wars?”

“Yes, I do. Which do you wanna watch?”

“Can we watch the Clone Wars?” Mari asked and Babs beamed at her.

“Sure thing. Come on, why don’t we go to the living room. It’ll be comfier and Damian can join us,” Babs said and Mari nodded with a small smile. The two got onto their wheelchairs and made their way out. Tikki flew over to Mari and hugged her cheek.

“Tikki?” she asked confused and Tikki beamed at her.

“I figured you could use a pick me up,” Lana called bringing in a couple of bags with Jason behind her.

“How-?”

“Dami,” she replied quickly and Mari smiled over at her boyfriend.

“Thank you, Damian,” Mari said and Damian smiled at her.

“It’s no problem. What did you wanna watch?” he asked as he picked Mari up and put her on the couch while Jason did the same for Babs.

“Clone Wars,” Mari replied and Jason nodded, picking up a remote and started pulling it up while Lana set out some snacks and handed Mari her favorite drink. She then sat down on Damian’s other side and Jason sat down beside her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders as she leaned into him.

Ok, so here it is!! Thanks for the small prompt anon and I hope you liked it! The next chap will feature Bustier and what happened to her while Mari was in the hospital and after. Until then!! -Love Willa<3<3<3

I Thought You Wouldn’t Hurt Me, But You Did Part 5

Thank you MiraculousKittyKat for the prompt. Sorry that this is REALLY short. I had a bit of trouble thinking of this one. I’m not the greatest at writin Jagged, Penny, n Clara. I hope I did it justice for you!

Penny didn’t know how to react. She could only look shocked and sad at Mari as she sat in her wheelchair. It was one thing to hear about Mari being in a wheelchair, it’s a completely different thing to see it. Jagged couldn’t believe it either as he watched Mari scratch Fang’s head as the animal reached up and placed his head in her lap. Manon was better behaved, that’s for sure.

She understood that Mari couldn’t do what she used to. Knew that being her usual self would cause too much trouble for Mari as she still learns to work being in a wheelchair. Manon was looking at them shocked but didn’t do anything when Jagged started playing with her while Clara and Penny went to the girl and sat next to her on the couch. “I-I’m sorry guys,” Mari whispered and the two women looked at her shocked.

“What for?” Penny asked softly and Mari looked down at Fang.

“I-I-your commissions are going to be late,” she mumbled.

“Hey, don’t be sorry. You couldn’t help that,” Clara said.

“Yeah, sweetie. You couldn’t help this. It’s not your fault that they hurt you,” Penny said and Mari teared up as she nodded understanding.

“Ya, love! You couldn’t have helped it. Just take your time healing, love. That’s what’s most important right now,” Jagged said while the two women nodded agreement. 

“Yeah, don’t worry about us, Mari. Focus on healing and recovering from this attack, no matter how long it takes,” Clara added and Mari smiled softly at that.

“Thank you,” Mari whispered and the three beamed at her while Manon laughed happily atop Jagged’s shoulders.

“Thank you for being my babysitter still, Mari. You’re the best!” Manon cheerily said hugging Jagged’s head as the rockstar laughed happily.

Ok, so here’s the VERY short little chap. Im sorry, I tried so hard to make this a decent length but this prompt sorta just....hid any possible ideas. Sorry. Until next time! -Love Willa<3<3<3
