Bruce tries to get Marinette in his family.

Overall, just choose your ship.
The last is a bonus drawing I think someone requested in discord.
Basically instead of choosing one of the bat kids, Marinette chooses Jon while Clark rubs it in Bruce's face.

This has turned into a superbat post

Malachite Milestones Wave 2
Starting off, Thank you all for your amazing suggestions!
We had a total of 11 responses and 47 unique ships. These split into 8 Garnet, 25 Rhodonite, and 14 Alexandrite. Another amazing stat is that one ship was suggested so many times (15) that it was promoted to Garnet. While it the ship seems to have plenty of Maribatters wanting it, it is still going through the voting process to be fair. Those in the discord know what ship that is. The next step is voting on the ships that Maribatters want to see as the Active Roster. The link will be featured below.
Below the line is the list of ships that are featured in the form above. Only 17 will end up in the final event.

BioDadClarkKentxBioMumBruceWayne
J'ai découvert que les Dupain-Cheng ne sont pas mes parents biologiques après leur mort dans un incendie. Je suis sûre que c'est un coup de cette sale vipère de Lie-la. Le jour de l'incident, j'étais chez Chloé pour une pyjama party.Depuis que tout le monde est tombé amoureux des mensonges de Lie-la, tout le monde m'a tourné le dos. Sabrina a laissé tomber Chloé. La blonde s'est excusée et nous sommes devenues les meilleures amies.La lettre écrite en anglais disait
Bonjour aux heureux parents qui ont adopté ma fille, j'aurais voulu garder ma fille avec moi. Malheureusement, je ne peux pas le faire pour des raisons personnelles. Son père ignore tout de son existence. Je m'appelle Brianna, j'ai laissé mes coordonnées si Martha veut prendre contact avec moi. Je ne la forcerai en rien. Je peux comprendre qu'elle veuille que je ne fasse pas partie de sa vie. Et je respecterai ce choix. Après tout je l'ai abandonné. Si elle veut prendre contacte avec moi, elle peut m'appeler au numéro inscrit derrière cette lettre.
Amicalement Brianna
« Tu comptes faire quoi ?
-L'appeler et obtenir des réponses sur son abandon et savoir qui est mon père.
- Tu veux que je reste avec toi !
- Oui j'ai besoin de soutien.
- Il n'y a pas de soucis !
Je compose le numéro de téléphone en espérant qu'il n'a pas changé entre temps et le met en haut-parleur.
- Oui allô, comment puis-je vous aider ?
- Allô j'espérai pouvoir parler à une Brianna c'était pour parler d'une certaine Martha. Je réponds peu sûre de moi.
- Je suis son majordome je vais vous la chercher. Ne raccrochez pas.
- Bien sûr. Après plusieurs minutes d'attente, une voix féminine se fait entendre.
- Bonjour ?
- Bonjour, je me présente je m'appelle Marinette et jusqu'à peu de temps j'ignorai que j'étais adoptée. Je l'ai découvert suite à l'incendie qui a tué mes parents. Et j'ai découvert la lettre qui accompagnait mon landeau. Si je vous appeler c'était pour en savoir plus sur qui vous êtes et savoir qui est mon père. Durant mon petit monologue, j'ai bégayé sur certains points et j'avais du mal à trouver mes mots.
- Cela sera avec grand plaisir. Où habitez-vous ?
- J'habite chez ma meilleure amie au Grand Paris.
- Je serai là demain matin. Cela serait plus simple de se parler face à face.
- Ne vous donner pas autant de peine, la semaine prochaine, nous sommes en grande vacances.
- Je viendrai demain, j'ai un jet privé cela sera plus simple pour venir.
- Bien, je n'ai pas d'argument pour la contrer. En revoir et à demain.
- En revoir. Je raccroche.
Je ne pensais pas rencontrer ma mère aussi vite après la découverte. J'aurai espéré que nous apprenons à nous connaître avant la rencontre.
De l'autre côté du continent.
Brianna Wayne souffle. Elle a gardé une trace sur sa fille toutes ses années. Elle est son seul enfant biologique. Même si elle avait abandonné uniquement pour la protégée, elle aimait plus que tout et elle voulait la voir grandir.
Sa plus grande difficulté était de garder l'identité du père secret. Même si sa précieuse Martha était le fruit d'une soirée bien arrosée, elle avait aimé en secret le père de son enfant et elle l'aime toujours malgré la situation actuelle.
Elle sent une présence dernière elle se retourne pour tomber sur les yeux du père de sa fille.
- À qui as-tu parlé ?
- Cela ne te concerne pas Clark.
- Si ! Tu t'opposes à moi alors cela me concerne Brianna.
- Tu as imposé un régime de terreur. Tu as bafouillé les règles de la Justice League. Je n'ai plus rien à te dire !
- Tu as de la chance que je ressente quelque pour toi, car sinon tu serais morte depuis longtemps Brianna. Tu serais morte au moment où tu m'a défié la première fois. Seul l'amour que j'ai pour toi te protège d'une mort certaine. Maintenant tu vas répondre à ma question avec qui tu téléphonais. Ne teste pas patience.
- Ma... Notre fille Martha. La femme souffle. Elle a eu treize ans la semaine dernière. Et je la rencontre demain que tu le veuilles ou non.
- Comment ça notre fille !?
- Il y a quatorze ans après un gala que j'ai organisé dont je t'ai invité en tant qu'ami et journaliste. Nous avons beaucoup bu et nous avons fini par avoir une partie de jambes en l'air et lors de cette même nuit Martha a été conçue. Durant les neuf mois de grossesse, j'ai tout fait pour la cacher. Une fois née, j'ai fait des tests pour savoir si elle avait tes capacités et ce n'était pas le cas. Je l'ai placé dans un orphelinat en France je ne voulais pas qu'elle soit embarquée dans le monde des superhéros et je ne voulais aussi pas l'exposer à la presse. J'ai toujours veillé sur elle sans qu'elle ne le sache. J'ai aussi caché aux garçons. La seule personne qui était au courant de son existence est Alfred. Maintenant que tu as voulu ce que tu voulais, tu peux me laisser toute seule !
- Non ! Je vais t'emmener dans ta nouvelle maison et je vais aussi récupérer notre fille et toutes les deux vous ne me quitterez plus ! Je ne vous laisserai plus partir loin de moi ! Tous les trois nous serons une famille heureuse. »
L'homme d'acier endort la femme et la transporte dans sa tour. Demain il récupéra sa fille. Et tout sera parfait. Il aura une famille et c'est tout ce qu'il souhaitait. Il avait perdu la première qu'il avait, il n'allait pas perdre la deuxième chance que la vie lui donnait.Il devait juste trouver un plan pour récupérer sa fille. Et il avait moins de vingt-quatre heures pour le créer.

So you like rare pairs? What're your hot takes on Maribat Rare Pairs? - Percy
Okay, I'm not sure how hot these takes are but here are a couple.
Marinette Does Not Need to be featured in Every Rare Pair Fic
Marinette does not need to be featured in every single fic when the ship does not include her. Where there is still heavy focus on Mari (in let's say a Jaydrien fic), the Jaydrien begins to feel like a side ship despite it being the main focus.
Maribat Rare Pairs should not be discouraged or treated like they are "not rare pairs" for including a traditional 'main pairing' as the side pairing
There are so many cool ships that complement Mari ships that deserve their own full light instead of being the 'side piece' in fics. It can be really disheartening as a writer to have a fic, especially one you're proud of, dragged down because you included a 'main ship' (Daminette, Timari, Jasonette) as the side pair. Rare pairs should be celebrated when they try to show what they can be instead of shunned into the darkness.
There should be more DC characters aged down for fics
With the rare pair ship Brucinette, for example, there tends to be a lot of aging the Miraculous characters up. Why not explore the ships by aging them down? The Gotham tv show gives an idea of younger Bruce Wayne and maybe it would be cool to see younger Clark figuring out his powers and Marinette comes across him while visiting her parents' old friends Jonathan and Martha Kent.

You know what I did not expect to be writing when I sat down to work on a Maribat fic? Several paragraphs of Clark and Kara bonding over Kara's trauma. You know what I wrote tonight?
Supergirl sighed and took a sip of her root beer float. Kal was right, it really was a fantastic float. After a moment, she looked over at him, looking more vulnerable than she had the first time she realized that he was the little baby she'd been sent to protect all those years ago, when she told him she felt like a complete failure. "You know how I said I kind of sort of have a maybe girlfriend?" "Mm," Kal said. "Bruce's new kid, right? The one you were dancing with at the gala?" "Someone tried to assassinate her today." "What?!" Superman dropped his drink, then quickly flew down to catch it. "Well, my goodness, Kara, why didn't you head down to Gotham as soon as we finished up here?" "I will," she said. "I will. I just... I need to calm my nerves first. Plus, she's still dealing with the investigation right now, I'm listening in. We were going to go out flying tonight, but now, even if I showed up in uniform with half the Justice League with me, I doubt Batman would let her out of the house without a security detail. Not until they catch whoever's behind it." Superman grimaced. "You're not wrong," he said. "I'll see what I can do to help. I may not be the World's Greatest Detective, but I do all right." Kara let out a choking sound, somewhere between a laugh and a sob. "You do," she said. "You know... I never really talk about your parents, but they would have been so proud of you, Kal-El." "I try to do Ma and Pa proud," he said, shrugging. "I'm not talking about the Kents," Kara said. "I know," he replied, "but they are my parents, at least as much as Jor-El and Lara." "That's..." Kara grinned. "That's so human of you. It's one of the best things about this world we were sent to. None of the 'Noble House of El' stuff. Rao, by the time I got here, I was so terrified of failing Jor-El and Lara, especially Lara. And here you were, all grown up, wearing the crest of the House of El and being every bit the idealist Lara was and even more steadfast than Jor-El. If that's the influence of Jonathan and Martha Kent, then I understand why you're so proud of your Earth name." She sighed. "Don't get me wrong, I love Eliza and Jeremiah, but I still... I don't know. When I think 'parents' I think of Zor-El and Alura and all of their expectations. The Danvers are like... the cool aunt and uncle. They let me stay up past sunset, even!" "I thought I was the cool uncle," Kal said with a grin. "Also, your parents made you go to bed at sunset?" "You're my baby cousin and don't you forget it," Kara said, returning the grin. "And no, not really, I just... they were very strict. I was thirteen when they put me in that pod and sent me after you, and they put the weight of the world on my shoulders. You, at least, got to choose to shoulder that weight. I got here, and you were all grown up without me and I was already a failure before I even started." "Hey," Kal - no, Clark - said. "You're not a failure. Kara, you're not. You're an incredible woman, and I am proud to call you family." He slapped his thighs and shifted from his floating/sitting position to a standing one, as though he were standing up from her bedside. "That's it," he said. "We're heading to Gotham. I want to meet this young woman you're 'kind of sort of' dating, and see if she's good enough for my favorite babysitter."

You know what fuck everything I want to go on another ramble, it's going on this one instead.
So I decided that Jon is born 4 years after Marinette is taken, it gives time to Clark and Lois to mourn the daughter that was taken from them, they never stopped searching, not really, but still it effected them.
Superman can be seen every year, the same day just floating above Metropolis, staring out across the skyline, almost as if waiting for something, someone. He’ll be there after dark for a while too, before flying off somewhere.
It happens to be the same day Lois Lane and Clark Kent ask for a day off, it's the only day they will fight for, and Perry can’t really be mad, he can't fight them on that. Lois and Clark are his best, and it isn't his business why they don't come to work on the one day, but he has an idea why.
Superman will arrive back at the Kent Farm, there is Lois, Ma and eventually his boy. Jon knows that day is a sad day for his family, he would eventually know why, and when he does the world sees a boy with up in sky with Superman. On the same day, every year, waiting, watching, watching as the sunset, and flying away after dark.
When Kon is found Superman is rushing to find Lex once again demanding answers, because he has to be hiding his daughter somewhere. There's no way he didn't use his daughter to help make Kon, but the files only state how they looked at her DNA to help them map out their attempts better. Seeing where the alleles matched up and what hopefully could.
But she’s only referred to as the “natural born.” It’s beyond frustrating and for some reason they just can’t find her files. She only referenced like they have research to look back on.
And Lex won't tell them why. Why? That's a great question, but sadly no thinks to search any international branches, at least it doesn't cross anyone’s minds to as usually going out of country/jurisdiction didn't bod well.
All of Marinette’s files were written in French, never emailed, never translated, Lex wouldn't risk it. It came by hand carry, two copies until his clone project got taken. It didn't matter he still had the first, and if needed he was sure he could use her.
Now Marinette knew she was weird but everyone is a little weird. Her breath was a little colder than others sometimes, she could lift the tables in the shop, and look! Look Maman I’m not even wobbling this time! She could run faster than all the boys but only by a handful of centimeters, she didn't get hurt as easily as her friends. Yeah, she's clumsy sometimes but it’s fine! She promises…oh please she won't break her legs jumping from this high up.
“You’re a freak,” Chloé hissed to her once. Chloé never bothered her, not really, her words always washed over Marinette, but that. That stung, it stayed with her, it left her up late at night trying to ignore the echoes of the words.
She’s right her Papa is strong but he couldn't bend a metal pipe, he could break through a door with ease, possibly a wall but not what Marinette had done.
Marinette started to draw more into herself, she stopped talking to Nino, Kim, and Alix.
“Marinette come join tag!”
“I’m good thanks,” she’d say, going to a bench to draw instead. Eventually she’d just walk to the bench, and her friends would stop trying to get her to join. We're they ever really her friends in the first place then?
Chloé still tormented her, but when she was really feeling like being mean she just called her a freak. Disaster Freak had become the common name at some point. At least Socqueline was there for her, up until she had to leave.
Marinette should have done something, anything, other than cry, other stand around. And for the first time in years her insides burned with the same passion that used to radiate from her, it wasn't much but it was kindled.
Then she became Ladybug and she was like the star in the sky, something too bright to ignore, Marinette took strides once again. And she wouldn't let anyone hold her back again.
Marinette though tried her best to not let her powers be well known, only old classmates remember her uncanny strength, but that was chopped up to her father being very strong, how fast she was simply just her being small and surprisingly agile. Marinette is a very observant person, everyone knows that. Why are you questioning how she recognized you from across the courtyard with like 100 kids between you too, that's just Marinette cause she’s awesome and Marinette.
Alix and Kim get excited, well after their race at the beginning of the year, because Mars is taking things on left and right, she's stick it up to Chloé, she looks so much more familiar than she has in years. They invite her to race and it confuses other classmates, Nino just smirks and says a simple, “Watch.”
Marinette can still outrun them even with Alix on wheels, and she did cartwheels without falling behind.
Chloé calls her a freak once, and everyone is on her, they don't know how that word hurt her before but Nino, Alix and Kim saw it and they're leading against that the millisecond it happens. They don't want to watch Marinette go down that hole again, watch her curl up. But she doesn't this time, she stood taller, with calm anger said, “I am, what about it Chloé? Gonna have your dad put harsher regulations on metas?”
(I’ve always seen there being laws and systems in place for metas in Paris specifically, due to Hawkmoth)
Alya jaw drops for sure, her best friend is a meta, and she didn't tell her??? But after hearing Marinette’s reasoning and how Chloé calling her a freak affected Marinette from Alix, Kim and Nino. Like she can't bring herself to be upset with Marinette after hearing that from them.
Marinette probably got told she was adopted at the same time as her parents were like “we think you're a meta sweetie.” It helps so there isn't this bombshell to deal with after knowing she's a meta, they simply laid it out for her. Marinette main focus was the fact she was adopted for awhile before finally going, “okay lets look at meta-related things. Oh wow okay then.”
-
That's all I think I'm adding for now. Sidenote based on the mathing I did, Kon is 7 years older than Marinette physically, and he was released to the world before she turned 9 but Damian had already turned 8. I’m using the Damian is 3 years older than Jon, I always forget about it so here’s to not forgetting
So this morning as I struggled to want to get up an AU came to me. I've been struggling on how to word some of this so bare with me.
This got longer than I thought it would but here:
Lois Lane and Clark Kent find out they're having a child later on they find out it's a girl, they're overjoyed and shit. But their relationship is on the down low, and everyone in Metropolis is convinced that Lois and Superman not only have a thing for each other but are together(which they aren't wrong). So when Lex Luthor finds out Lois is pregnant he comes up with a plan(cause his blad ass thinks he's so smart). And he does succeed.
Clark has to go off planet for [intergalactic problem here] and so he's gone for a few months during Lois’s pregnancy. So while Superman is away Lex is like ‘yes my plan will go so much easier now’ and so Lois gives birth, after she(the baby) is put in the baby ward thing, Lex steals their daughter. He gives her this serum that (in theory) blocks her powers till something triggers them. It does work but he doesn't know what will trigger it or how well it works.
He decides to put her as far away from them as possible on Earth tho. So she's in France getting adopted by the lovely couple who own a bakery and want a child. They can't due to biological complications, and Lex can watch them easily ( he knows French ig for this ). And they get to name her cause she doesn't have name.
So enter Marinette Dupain-Cheng the adoptive daughter Tom Dupain and Sabine Cheng. There are some things they just can't explain about their daughter, they love her very much. Shenanigans my beloved, shall ensue.
But she's so small and doesn't have a lot of muscle how is she carrying this bag of flower at the age of 10? OH NO BOILING WATER GOT ON HER SHES GONNA GET BURN MAR- oh, she's okay...? MARINETTE DONT STARE AT THE SUN! They go to the doctor to check her eyesight, she has perfect vision. Marinette the fastest kid in her class, faster than Kim and Alix, they're playing hide and seek? Oh Mari is up a tree!
Back with Clark and Lois, Superman threatens Lex or talks to Bruce or something idk. Jon is made or born 2 years later(idk his story sometimes he's a clone sometimes he's not???!) when Mari is 2, then two more years later Con is born(I know for a fact he is born) so Mari is like 4. Bruce is doing the blood thing, but Lex has that shit under strict supervenience. And while raising the boys they learn what they should look for.
Tom and Sabine conclude that Mari is a Meta, talk to her about this when she is like 12, than when she is almost 14 she searches this stuff up and she's like “okay, no powers” well that gets thrown in her face when she was left with being Ladybug. Lex can't watch her anymore cause Paris closed itself off!
How being Ladybug affects Marinette:
She is still really strong even with that serum not letting her be at full strength so now that she has the Miraculous it enhances her already enhanced strength so she has to pull her punches, and this is one of the main reasons why she uses her yo-yo and her brain in battles rather than brute force, cause she could kill the akuma. At least she thinks so, who knows, depends on the writer!
Post [What-ever-the-fuck version of Gabriel we're dealing with]:
There are two ways this can go! 1) Mari during her time as Ladybug and Guardian activated the trigger so she could use all her half-Kryptonian-ness or 2) somehow it wasn't triggered yet but it was at some point while being around JL. Probably from being around Superman and her body went “FATHERRRRR”
And why Clark hasn't figured out this is his daughter after meeting her? Magic suit y'all! Prevents him from using x-ray vision on her, so he doesn't see her hybrid organs. One thing is for certain Bruce wants to adopt her! He can't of course cause she has already been adopted, so instead, he offers her a place to stay in Gotham, all paid, and any school of her choosing in Gotham. She says she’ll think about it, and when she researched she was surprised, and decided why not! She can fight villains, build her career, see what she can do with her new activated power, *cough* get all that pent-up rage out *COUGH*!
One big problem tho, the Meta and Magic users ban, so she talks to him again, he's like I'm willing to adjust my ban, then he does a double take cause ���meta?” cause guess what Brucie, you wanna take in a meta-magic user! So he adjusts his rules.
Time passes, a long time depends, but Clark and Lois go to this gala being reporters and friends with Bruce. This gala is also Mari’s first. She's been doing great, other than almost burning her room in the middle of the night a few weeks ago. But it's fiiiiine, they're all learning, and Damian has his suspensions.
Clark was area of Bruce having another kid in his wings, and he does his x-ray things like he does all the batfam, and that's when he sees it! She wasn't human, she was part human. So he takes her Bruce, and is like “you can't have this child” “why tf can't I!” “this is our missing daughter!!”
So after the gala they all sit down and talk this out, they call Jon and Kon to get their asses here to see their sister! They talk to Tom and Sabine and they’re willing to share custody especially cause of how this happened! Anyway big family in the end.
This has probably been done somewhere but I needed to get this written out. I really want to write this, but if anyone does tag me please! PLEASE!
Bonus points for any salt or angst. Just sayin
Edit: it really shows how I didn't know about Kon and it pains me everytime I get a notification for this. Excuse my dumbassery.
Jon is born two years after Mari, Kon is made whenever the fuck he’s made, so Kon is like twoish year's older than Mari growth wise?? Cause Damian and Tim are like five/six years apart? (supposed to be anyway but who gives a shit, apparently not the DC writers, cause like aren't they supposed to be idk 7-9 years apart?? I don't care really it gives better annoying the shit out each other I'm specific ways while in the same household prevogligous)
They call Kon cause, “you're family regardless and we found our daughter we want you to meet her, get yo ass over here”

i could be the way forward (i know I'll pay for it) (forever is the sweetest con, pt 2)
Pairing: Jason Todd x Marinette Dupain-Cheng PART ONE Moodboard
Rating: G | Masterlist | Main Masterlist | Ao3 | WC: 1.6k | TW: -
A/N: This is part of a series called The Eras Tour (Jasonette’s Version), a collection of Jasonette-centric fics I wrote for the Maribat discord server Maribat? Get In!’s 2024 Civil War event. Not beta’d.
Years after retiring from Ladybug, Marinette Dupain-Cheng goes by many other names, switching identities as easily as she breathes…until she tries to swindle the wrong guy.
Marinette swirled her olive in the dregs of her martini, forlornly chewing on the other. The chatter of the multitude of people passing through the bar was a welcome background noise for her to tune out as she thought of her ex-partner. 
The news anchor’s voice suddenly cut through her thoughts of dark hair and teal eyes. Had he said-
“Oh, he was the sweetest boy, always so polite,” said a little old lady who had appeared on the stool next to her. She looked harmless, but she wouldn’t have survived this long in a city like Gotham without having something up her sleeve. “We all missed him greatly. He was a ray of sunshine, one that Gotham let through her smog to give us all hope.”
Marinette turned to her. “Would you mind telling me more about him and what’s happening? I’m somewhat new here.”
The party was in full swing by the time her limo pulled up to the event hall. The chauffeur opened the door for her, her date for the night getting out and offering his hand in silent escort.
They entered the hall, fashionably late and thus commanding everyone’s attention without even trying. She knew she looked good, having put her own touch on the off-the-rack dress she’d found in an adorable boutique. 
She took in the crowd as she descended the stairs, using her temporary height to her advantage. So many dark-haired men here, yet the one she wanted to see wasn’t. 
Her date led her to a small group of people by the foot of the stairs, two of which had ‘PRESS’ lanyards over their suit and dress. 
“Clark, Lois, it’s good to see you! How have you been? This is my date, Melody Dupain. Melody, these are my friends, Clark Kent and Lois Lane.”
“Pleasure to meet you,” she nodded. 
“It’s nice to meet you, Melody,” said Lois. “We just talked the other day, nothing’s changed,” she added to her date. 
“Good to hear. Excuse us, the mayor wanted a word.”
Marinette continued on her way, taking the time her date was socializing to scan the room. 
She excused herself from the conversation, heading in the direction of the French doors she’d spotted as she came in.
The cool air was refreshing after the heat of the ballroom and cloying perfumes. She found a quiet spot overlooking the gardens, underneath a garden party tent of some kind. Little drops of rain soon echoed calmingly as they bounced off the canvas top. 
“May I have this dance?”
She startled, the rain having covered anyone’s approaching footsteps.
“Dancing is a dangerous game. Haven’t you read any Jane Austen, where the characters fall in love because they danced?”
She turned, her breath catching. 
He smirked. “Of course I’ve read Jane Austen; I’m not a heathen, what do you take me for?”
“What are you doing here?”
“Watching my ex-swindling-partner attempt to swindle my dad, apparently,” he shrugged. “And just when I thought life was going to be boring again.”
“How…was everything I heard true?”
“Depends on what you heard, but probably. Although the rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I’m fine now.”
“Jay.”
“Look, this isn’t a great place to get into everything. How about we skip the party and go get Batburger?”
She hadn’t even heard the end of his proposition and she grabbed his hand, leading the way out.
“I’ll take you to my favourite gargoyle and we can talk there.”
“Of course you have a favourite gargoyle,” she rolled her eyes at him fondly.
He opened the door to a black Rolls Royce.
She settled in the comfy seat appreciatively, running her hands over the dash. “You finally got your fancy car, huh?”
He chuckled dryly. “Yep. First long con I ever did, and I’m still runnin’ it. Now I’m actually old enough to drive the things.”
“Please just tell me you’re not pretending to be Bruce’s dead son,” she said as they pulled into the Batburger drive through.
“No, I wouldn’t do that…well, maybe. But no, I’m the real dead son. But why are you trying to swindle the guy who has a dead son?”
“Not so dead anymore,” she retorted, waving at him. “Because I had to see if it was really you, homme stupide . I came to Gotham because it’s a wonderful place to hide, and then I found my ex-partner beat me to swindling high society, only it might not be a swindle at all! What did you even need the money for, if your dad is the richest guy in America?!”
He shrugged, paying and collecting their order. “His money ain’t my money. Also, he didn’t know I was alive, and I had some…things to take care of first.”
They climbed up the rusty fire escape to the roof of the building that housed his favourite gargoyle. Jason handed her her burger and fries. 
“Your dress looks really nice, Mar. Did you make it?”
“I restyled it,” she sniffed, biting hungrily into her burger. “Thank you for the compliment.”
“Why are you so mad? I’m not even stopping you conning my dad or giving you away.”
“Because I thought I’d never see you again, and then I did and I wasn’t even prepared for it, and now I’m thrown all off-kilter! And I can’t in good conscience hustle your dad, he’s your dad !”
“I mean, if it helps, I hustle him all the time,” he shrugged, bumping her shoulder with his.
“It really doesn’t…okay, maybe a little bit. But I’m still not stealing from your dad! This was going to be my last con.”
“What? Why?” He looked at her, startled. “Are you in trouble?”
“Not as far as I know,” she bit a fry moodily in half. “I’m tired of it. Constantly looking over my shoulder, switching up my identity, never getting close to anyone. I’ll use what I have to settle down somewhere and set up a sewing shop or something, live a boring life and find a husband and have two-point-five kids…”
“It’ll never work.”
Marinette punched his shoulder for his immediate pessimistic shut-down.
“Ow! I mean, you won’t be happy without the adrenaline rush, the danger. But,” he raised his finger, “I have an idea.”
“Do tell,” she said dryly, used to his ideas.
“Marry me.”
She coughed out the fry she’d been eating. “Excuse me?”
“I’m serious. Marry me. It’ll take care of a lot of problems for us. We can’t legally testify against each other, in case our pasts catch up to us. You’ll be richer than Croesus, you can bug Bruce all the time –and it’ll be great leverage for me: “Bruce, how could you date your future daughter-in-law”--and we can go around long-conning society with a permanent identity and no one to catch us.”
“And just how will we do that?” she asked, getting interested in spite of herself.
“I can only tell you if you agree,” he said mock-solemnly.
She punched his shoulder again.
“Ow! If you’re gonna turn to punching me, maybe I'll take it back!”
“Tell me why we’re long-conning society, Jason,” she threatened.
“Because we’re the Todd-Waynes during the day, but the vigilantes Red Hood and Mrs Red Hood (name subject to change) at night!”
She blinked at him. “That makes so much sense. Wait, why will I be a vigilante?”
He gave her a flat look. “Pixie. You told me you used to be a hero. You need the adrenaline rush, that’s why you’re currently a swindler. You can go back to heroing, get your thrills, and feel good about it while you do it, instead of sullying your conscience by swindling old men grieving the loss of their son-ow!”
“Fine, I’ll do it.”
“Really?”
“Yes. But you have to answer a few questions for me first.”
“Only if you answer three of mine.”
“You’re a horrible negotiator.”
He simply smiled serenely at her. 
She huffed. “Fine, I’ll answer three of your questions, but you have to answer as many as I ask you. You are getting the better part of the deal, may I remind you.”
“Sounds good.”
“Why do you want to marry me?”
“Ooh, loaded question, right off the bat. Well, I like you. I can trust you, we work well together, we know each other well already.”
“Why did you stay so long with me if your dad is a billionaire?”
“To take care of you. Also, it was nice to have someone around who knew me but also didn’t know me, if you know what I mean.”
“Crystal clear,” she deadpanned. “But yes, I think so. You wanted someone to know you without knowing the past you with all the baggage and pre-made judgments. I felt the same way. Why did you want to take care of me?”
“Why not? I like you.”
“Jason! You can’t just say stuff like that!”
“You wanted the truth!”
“Yeah, but I’m gonna fall off this roof in shock!”
“I’ll catch you then. As long as you’re falling for me.”
Marinette sputtered at his blatant flirting. “ You’ll be falling because of me.”
“I already am.”
“Jason Todd!”
The banter and interrogation continued until all the burgers and fries were gone. Jason sighed, leaning back on his elbows, kicking his feet over the side. “There’s something you should probably know before we do anything else.”
She eyed him cautiously. “Okay…”
“I wasn’t planning on partnering with you, but I felt like there was something between us after the first night. We got along so well after that, and it was an easy cover to keep when I had some Hood business to take care of. But we spent more time together, and I started falling for you. It wasn’t the plan, but I couldn’t stop–and I didn’t particularly want to stop, either. I love you, Marinette Dupain-Cheng.”
She bit her lip hard, willing away the tears. “I love you too, Jason Todd-Wayne.”

Stars Shine
AO3
Prev
Clark Kent didn’t often take days off. He enjoyed both of his jobs (being a journalist was something he liked almost as much as being a hero), and didn’t really see a need to stay at home alone. And then, his niece was born. And suddenly, days off were important. Because days off meant time he got to spend with his adorable niece. Someone who was growing and learning more and more every time he saw her. Like now. His older brother and Sabine had a convention in DC, which meant Marinette was staying with him in Metropolis for a week. Which meant, he was supposed to be off duty for the week.
“Bruce, I don’t exactly have an Alfred. What was I supposed to do with her? You’re the one who sent the emergency call even though you knew I had her this week.” He asks, trying not to let his tone suggest how frustrated he was. No need to upset Marinette (who was currently going back and forth between looking out the windows of the Watchtower and looking at him). Bruce’s jaw clenches slightly, his lips pursed.
“Bringing a child here was-” Bruce starts, but Marinette cuts him off with a squeal.
“Étoiles! Oncle Clark, ��toiles!” She says, grinning from ear to ear, pointing out the window. Clark nods, smiling back at her.
“Yes they are. Can you say, star?” He asks, adjusting his hold to point back out the window.
“Oui! Star!” She says, before clapping. Bruce’s face falls slack as he sighs.
“I’ll have Robin stay here with her. But we need you.” He says. Clark nods. Robin was eleven, that’s old enough to babysit, right?
—-
Dick did not sign up for this when he put on the cape and became Robin. He wanted to avenge his parents and fight alongside Bruce. He didn’t want to babysit a toddler! He was totally whelmed.
“Brille, brille petite étoile dans la nuit qui se dévoile. Tout là-haut au firmament, tu scintilles comme un diamant. Brille, brille petite étoile, veille sur ceux qui dorment en bas.” The little girl, Marinette, sings again. She’d been singing it pretty much nonstop. And while it was cute the first couple of times, there were only so many times he could listen to ‘twinkle twinkle’ before he lost his mind.
“So, your Uncle said you’ve been working on English, too. That’s cool.” Dick says, because what else do you say to a random toddler that just so happens to be Superman’s niece?
“Cool!” She says, grinning. Dick grins back, unable to keep it in. Okay, maybe this wasn’t so bad.
“Wanna see a cool trick?” He asks. She nods. Dick jumps to his feet and does a couple of cartwheels before moving into a back handspring. Landing it, he looks over to the kid. He grins immediately when he sees the awed expression on her face as she claps excitedly.
“Again! Encore!” She giggles. Dick does, adding in a couple more flourishes with it just to make the kid giggle more. “Robin teach?” She asks, eyebrows scrunched in concentration. Dick frowns, thinking of something he could teach her. She was really little-
“Okay, but we have to be very, very careful, okay?” He asks. She nods, grinning.
“Okay!” Somersaults were easy enough for toddlers, right? He couldn’t remember what he’d learned by the time he was her age. He just knew he started learning tricks young. But how hard could it be to teach a two year old somersaults?
—-
Walking back into the Watchtower, Clark immediately zeroes in his hearing for his niece. Ignoring Bruce’s calls (probably reminding him to fill out his reports), he follows the sound of Marinette giggling. Walking into one of the gyms, he’s slightly shocked to see Dick helping her do a cartwheel on one of the mats. It was rough, but the second she was on her feet again, she cheered.
“Again, oiseau! Again!” She exclaims, clapping her hands. Dick laughs.
“Why don’t we try the somersault again instead?” He suggests. Marinette pouts.
“Non. Cartwheel please!” She says, moving into a position to attempt it again. Clark can see the moment she spots him. Her eyes widen and she runs to him, arms outstretched. Clark grins and picks her up, tossing her in the air gently. She giggles before landing back in his arms, hugging him tightly. Clark relaxes, letting out a breath he didn’t realize he was holding as he hugs her close. It’s not that he doubted Dick’s ability to babysit, but he had realized after leaving that the boy was an only child and had likely never spent time with such a young child before.
“Did you have fun with Robin?” He asks her, and she nods, grinning.
“Oui. Robin is my friend.” She says matter-of-factly. Clark glances at Dick, grinning at the shocked look on the boy’s face.
“Looks like you have a new friend, Robin.” He says. The boy grins, snapping out of his shock.
“I guess so. If you ever wanna learn more tricks, kid, you know where I am.” He says, and Marinette grins.
“Cool!” She says. Dick laughs and nods.
“Oh yeah kid, the coolest.” He says. Clark grins.
“Thank you for watching her, Robin.” He says. Dick grins.
“Any time. She’s a pretty cool kid.” He says. Clark laughs.
“That she is. Ready to go home, Sunshine?” He asks. Marinette shakes her head.
“No.” She says, turning around so that she can reach towards Dick. He reaches back towards her and she immediately latches onto him, giving him a tight hug. “Love you!” She says, hugging him close. Clark sneakily brings up his phone, snapping a quick picture of the two. He’d make sure to send it to Bruce later.
“Love you too kiddo.” Dick says, his voice quiet. Marinette leans back and reaches for Clark again. Once she’s settled in his arms, she waves at Dick.
“Bye bye!” She says. Clark grins.
“Bye Robin.” He says lightly, heading towards the Zeta tubes. Maybe he could arrange for Dick to babysit again. They both seemed to enjoy it. And if Marinette kept up with gymnastics, Dick would really be able to help her. Besides, it wouldn’t hurt for either of them to spend time with actual kids. Maybe they’d even grow up to be friends.

Damian Wayne, the Sy-on Boy
Damian glared at the small girl sitting at the front of the classroom. He could still feel the sting of her punch during their encounter the previous day. Unforgivable! I am the blood son of Batman, heir to Wayne Industries! How dare she? Spite bubbled at the pit of his stomach. The girl should've been expelled right away!
Marinette Martha Lane-Kent. The absolute bane of his existence. Since they first met, she had been pulling idiotic but conniving smiles followed by a 'heh' that irritated him to no end. She was a whirlwind, unpredictable and unbelievably clumsy. It was a mystery how she even got into Eden. The school had no room for disaster human beings.
His face contorted into a frown as he watched her doze off in class. Stupid pigtails. Stupid big blue eyes. Stupid face. His heart began to pound with anger.
Suddenly, Marinette jerked awake and turned to look at him. Heat crawled up to Damian's face and he looked away. What's her problem?
---
There she was again, strolling across the dining hall. Damian was wearing his usual brooding look while he ate. He had seen Marinette attempt to talk to him a few times, but Tsurugi had held her back. He scoffed. As if I'd ever listen to what she says!
Another problem was that the other students wouldn't stop talking about her. How she punched the Damian Wayne, how violent she was, how weird she was. Damian would roll his eyes at the empty gossip. They were students of Eden! They should know better and mind their business. He noticed that Marinette seemed to be bothered about the rumors but he'd never acknowledge that observation out loud.
After finishing his lunch, he stood up to head to the library. My academic progress is not enough. I must surpass my brothers, earn those Stellas and climb my way up to become an Imperial Scholar quickly.
"Sy—syon boy!" A voice squeaked in front of him.
Damian found himself scowling at her. He couldn't formulate any words for some reason.
What's this fuzzy feeling in my chest?
He could sense the other students whispering around them. Marinette flinched, fiddling with her uniform. "I . . . I—uhhh . . ."
She began to sniffle, her hands balling into little fists. Sagged shoulders trembled. Damian looked around in a panic. What? Is she about to cry? The whispers intensified.
Tears gathered in her eyes and trickled down her reddened face. "I—I'm sorry I hit you yesterday!"
Damian stumbled back a little, gaping at her. His heart skipped a beat. What is happening?
"Ma—Marinette just wanted to be friends with you!" The girl sobbed.
What? Where did these flower petals come from? Why am I hearing strings?! When did it get so warm in here?
He gritted his teeth. Marinette continuously apologized as she cried, even spouting nonsense about having stubby legs. She felt so bad that she's actually crying?! My face . . . my face is burning up! No, that's—that's because I'm angry!
His mind flipped through flashbacks. How many times had he stared at her throughout the day? And how did she get so cute?! No! You shouldn't have these thoughts! These feelings!
Marinette's cries toned down into quiet sniffles. Her bright eyes gazed at him expectantly, piercing into his very soul. Damian stepped backwards. Don't look at me with those eyes!
"Damn it!" He blurted out loudly. "Never! I'll never admit it! I'll never forgive you!"
He stormed out of the dining hall, running as fast as he could.
---
Clark bent down to pat his daughter's head. He was starting to regret sending her to school, considering what she did on her first day. The boy had been lucky she wasn't using her full strength in that punch.
"How was school, Mari?" he gently asked. She had come home in a glum mood, immediately grabbing her plushie to cuddle. He was afraid her powers got exposed in school.
"Dada, what does it mean if a person's heartbeat goes really fast?" Marinette asked timidly. "Like ba-dump, ba-dump, ba-dump."
Clark frowned. "Well, it can mean lots of things sweetie. Maybe fear, embarrassment, anger, or love? Why, did something happen in school?"
"Is Sy-on boy angry at me?" She lowered her gaze. "Marinette tried to apow-lo-gize but his heartbeat went ba-dump, ba-dump, ba-dump, and he ran away saying he'll never forgive me."
"Wh—what?" Does he have a crush on my little girl?! Calm down, Clark, you might be jumping to conclusions.
"Dada, your heart's beating really fast too."
He coughed. "Can you tell me what else happened, sweetie?"
"I heard the other kids whispering about me." She reached up to touch her ear. "I—I got really scared."
Clark immediately pulled her for a hug. "Oh no, don't mind them, okay kiddo? I'll teach you how to filter your hearing and err—I'm going to have a long talk with Bruce about Damian."

So this morning as I struggled to want to get up an AU came to me. I've been struggling on how to word some of this so bare with me.
This got longer than I thought it would but here:
Lois Lane and Clark Kent find out they're having a child later on they find out it's a girl, they're overjoyed and shit. But their relationship is on the down low, and everyone in Metropolis is convinced that Lois and Superman not only have a thing for each other but are together(which they aren't wrong). So when Lex Luthor finds out Lois is pregnant he comes up with a plan(cause his blad ass thinks he's so smart). And he does succeed.
Clark has to go off planet for [intergalactic problem here] and so he's gone for a few months during Lois’s pregnancy. So while Superman is away Lex is like ‘yes my plan will go so much easier now’ and so Lois gives birth, after she(the baby) is put in the baby ward thing, Lex steals their daughter. He gives her this serum that (in theory) blocks her powers till something triggers them. It does work but he doesn't know what will trigger it or how well it works.
He decides to put her as far away from them as possible on Earth tho. So she's in France getting adopted by the lovely couple who own a bakery and want a child. They can't due to biological complications, and Lex can watch them easily ( he knows French ig for this ). And they get to name her cause she doesn't have name.
So enter Marinette Dupain-Cheng the adoptive daughter Tom Dupain and Sabine Cheng. There are some things they just can't explain about their daughter, they love her very much. Shenanigans my beloved, shall ensue.
But she's so small and doesn't have a lot of muscle how is she carrying this bag of flower at the age of 10? OH NO BOILING WATER GOT ON HER SHES GONNA GET BURN MAR- oh, she's okay...? MARINETTE DONT STARE AT THE SUN! They go to the doctor to check her eyesight, she has perfect vision. Marinette the fastest kid in her class, faster than Kim and Alix, they're playing hide and seek? Oh Mari is up a tree!
Back with Clark and Lois, Superman threatens Lex or talks to Bruce or something idk. Jon is made or born 2 years later(idk his story sometimes he's a clone sometimes he's not???!) when Mari is 2, then two more years later Con is born(I know for a fact he is born) so Mari is like 4. Bruce is doing the blood thing, but Lex has that shit under strict supervenience. And while raising the boys they learn what they should look for.
Tom and Sabine conclude that Mari is a Meta, talk to her about this when she is like 12, than when she is almost 14 she searches this stuff up and she's like “okay, no powers” well that gets thrown in her face when she was left with being Ladybug. Lex can't watch her anymore cause Paris closed itself off!
How being Ladybug affects Marinette:
She is still really strong even with that serum not letting her be at full strength so now that she has the Miraculous it enhances her already enhanced strength so she has to pull her punches, and this is one of the main reasons why she uses her yo-yo and her brain in battles rather than brute force, cause she could kill the akuma. At least she thinks so, who knows, depends on the writer!
Post [What-ever-the-fuck version of Gabriel we're dealing with]:
There are two ways this can go! 1) Mari during her time as Ladybug and Guardian activated the trigger so she could use all her half-Kryptonian-ness or 2) somehow it wasn't triggered yet but it was at some point while being around JL. Probably from being around Superman and her body went “FATHERRRRR”
And why Clark hasn't figured out this is his daughter after meeting her? Magic suit y'all! Prevents him from using x-ray vision on her, so he doesn't see her hybrid organs. One thing is for certain Bruce wants to adopt her! He can't of course cause she has already been adopted, so instead, he offers her a place to stay in Gotham, all paid, and any school of her choosing in Gotham. She says she’ll think about it, and when she researched she was surprised, and decided why not! She can fight villains, build her career, see what she can do with her new activated power, *cough* get all that pent-up rage out *COUGH*!
One big problem tho, the Meta and Magic users ban, so she talks to him again, he's like I'm willing to adjust my ban, then he does a double take cause “meta?” cause guess what Brucie, you wanna take in a meta-magic user! So he adjusts his rules.
Time passes, a long time depends, but Clark and Lois go to this gala being reporters and friends with Bruce. This gala is also Mari’s first. She's been doing great, other than almost burning her room in the middle of the night a few weeks ago. But it's fiiiiine, they're all learning, and Damian has his suspensions.
Clark was area of Bruce having another kid in his wings, and he does his x-ray things like he does all the batfam, and that's when he sees it! She wasn't human, she was part human. So he takes her Bruce, and is like “you can't have this child” “why tf can't I!” “this is our missing daughter!!”
So after the gala they all sit down and talk this out, they call Jon and Kon to get their asses here to see their sister! They talk to Tom and Sabine and they’re willing to share custody especially cause of how this happened! Anyway big family in the end.
This has probably been done somewhere but I needed to get this written out. I really want to write this, but if anyone does tag me please! PLEASE!
Bonus points for any salt or angst. Just sayin
Edit: it really shows how I didn't know about Kon and it pains me everytime I get a notification for this. Excuse my dumbassery.
Jon is born two years after Mari, Kon is made whenever the fuck he’s made, so Kon is like twoish year's older than Mari growth wise?? Cause Damian and Tim are like five/six years apart? (supposed to be anyway but who gives a shit, apparently not the DC writers, cause like aren't they supposed to be idk 7-9 years apart?? I don't care really it gives better annoying the shit out each other I'm specific ways while in the same household prevogligous)
They call Kon cause, “you're family regardless and we found our daughter we want you to meet her, get yo ass over here”
