Dick, excitedly showing his newest little sister Marinette the Batcave: This is the Batcave! Overe there is the Batcomputer and here we sharpen our Batarangs. On this side are the Batbikes and if you follow this path you'll find the Batplane. And right here is the Batmobile! Isn't it amazing? We should totally take you on a joy ride with it, don't you agree? What do you say?
Marinette, slowly taking it all in: I feel like you were going for a theme with this ... Let me guess? Moody broody late-pubescent goth?
Alfred: Very well said, Miss Marinette.
Jason, peering at a stricken-looking Bruce: Well, I guess trying to show off how cool you are to your new daughter might not go as planned. Any contingencies, old man?
Tim: Going off of experience, it's having a moody brooding session in the dark cave. You know, like a late-pubescent goth.
Bruce, murmuring: I didn't even name most of these things, why am I getting attacked?

Hello!
I don't know if it's still okay to ask for recommendations. I have recently been into daminette story (and I have been in love with this couple). Do you have good recommendations where Ladybug and Robin swap their body multiple times? I read one fanfic, where they have a similar theme, and I have been obsessed!
Thank you! With LOVE!
I'm sorry but I don't know any stories where they swap bodies. Here's a recommendation of Daminette anyways. Some of these are filled with fluff and some Lila salt so enjoy!
Daminette AO3 Fanfic Recommendations 2
Tolerance by @superpsychonutcase
Chapters:Â 2/2
Lila is up to her old tricks. Thankfully, Tim and the employees of Wayne Enterprises are not as dimwitted as Bustier and her class.
Warmth by FridayFirefly
Chapters:Â 2/2
When Damian wakes up with a stranger in his bed, he knows that there is only one possible explanation: that stranger is his Soulmate.
#SunshineOfGotham by sixtyeightdays
Chapters:Â 14/14
All of Gotham knows Marinette, the Sunshine who's made her way into everyone's hearts.
But so what if all of Gotham knows Marinette? Does her class know that they know Marinette?
Of course not, why would they! But, well, let's see how they find out.
A Welcoming Change by Brinxiethebear
Chapters: 43/43
Damian Wayne always saw himself in a certain light. He was calculating and cold and he always took his work seriously. He was what others would call the Ice Prince. He was a loner and by choice. The only people he ever really tolerated talking to was his family and his only friend, Jon. Mainly he just spent time with his pets.
So can you guess what happens when a new girl ends up coming to his school? It's certainly not what he was expecting. He finds that its a welcoming change nonetheless, no matter what surprises may come his way.
Gotham's (Fashion) Disasters by FaithWarrior
Chapters: 22/?
Marinette and her parents are dragged along to the Rock wedding of the year by none other than the groom himself Jagged Stone. To complicate matters the wedding is in Gotham city America. By the grace of her Ladybug luck Marinette has everything prepared for the trip. But her skills are needed in Gotham, and she might find something while she's there.
Part 1
Remember some chapters are longer than others (ďžâăŽâ)ďž*.â§

Dick: âŚ.I know I asked but this is *not* what I meant
Marinette: *looks up* What did you expect?
Dick: Anything but this?
Marinette: This is normal actually. Iâm surprised this is what freaks you out with all the people you have in the manor.
Dick: Yeah I guessâŚ
Marinette: So you think this will work?
Dick: I rather you not sacrifice my little brother to demons actually.
Marinette: Untie him and Iâll make you regret it
Dick: Yes maâam. Sorry baby bird.
Damian: *muffled incoherent growl and a glare*
Marinette: Good. Now how exactly do we ensure itâll summon his girlfriend?
Dick: I have no clue.
Marinette: Winging it it is!

Marks of Magic
Day 8 Familiar of Maribat Spooktober 2023
First *** Previous *** Next
Language and cursing is used
2230 Words
~~~~~~~~~~
Six years had passed and Marinette decided it was time to go back to Gotham.
She was taking a break from her designs for a bit and Luka and Jagged asked if she wanted to tour with them for a bit.
And who was she to say no. She loved them both, one was her boyfriend, while the other was his dad (and her pseudo crazy uncle). Gotham was Jaggedâs hometown so it made sense for him to stop there on his North American Tour.
So here she was after six years, the cold autumn air was chilly but not too cold yet. The sky just starting to shift into dusk, casting more shadows than usual. She and Luka were walking hand in hand under the giant white oak when she noticed it. The stage, the cannons, the man standing in that horridly tacky green and purple three piece suit.
âWell thatâs a familiar sight.â She sighed watching the progression make its way to the park entrance. âCome on. From what Iâve seen the Riddler has toned it down a lot ever since that new guy came in.â
âAnd how are we to help?â He grinned at her knowingly.
âPlease riddles are childâs play.â She waved pulling him along.
âLetâs see, letâs see. You their black and red dye. Answer 3 riddles and the city goes free.â
âWhy not.â She shrugged at the rogue.
âWhy do zombies never winâŚâ
âAt poker?â She finished the riddle. âItâs because they have a tell-tale heart.â
She grinned remembering the grin that was erased from this timeline.
âHow did you?â He looked at her quizzically. âNever mind. Walk on the living, they don't even mumble, step on the deadâŚâ
âThey mutter and grumble.â She finished again, the familiarity of the situation making her smile. âLeaves, of course. So are you going to give out some new riddles or at least cut the theatrics.â
âYouâre a meta arenât you.â He accused.
âNope. Iâve just heard them before.â She popped the âpâ while tilting her head to the side.
âHereâs the next one.â He started but didnât get to start it before she interrupted him.
âWhile some spring forward, I choose to fall back. Come and join me while you sit on a haystack. I may show a movie with a crazed maniac, I will for sure host a festival to give you a heart attack.â She started to laugh as the rogue stood shocked. âDo you only have a limited autumn library, or did I just get the only repeat performance.â
âYouâre that little girl.â He stood shocked at this little revelation.
âAnd I can knock you on your ass again if youâd like.â She smiled.
âItâs not nice to tease him, he is a villain after all.â Luka murmured hugging her.
âPlease if I knock him down it would be far softer than if it was the bat.â She pouted loud enough for those who gathered could hear.
âWant to test that theory?â Speak of the devil and he shall appear, Batman.
She tensed slightly, resisting the urge to glare at the âheroâ that stood just behind the Riddler. âI wouldnât want to overstep.â
âBesides we have somewhere to be, Melody, we wouldnât want to show up after a fight do we.â
She crossed her arms and pouted, puffing out her cheeks.
âI donât care, but your dad doesâŚâ She huffed.
âAre you really that girl?â Riddler still gawked at the two of them, before seeming to make up his mind.
Just like all those years ago he charged her. And just like before she punched him in the nose. Luka let her go and jumped back, knowing she was going to throw him over her shoulder.
âYupâŚâ The riddler breathed out. âYouâre that same girl. But youâre right softer than Bats.â
He laid on his back, not even trying to move.
âWow!â A new voice shouted from behind her. âYouâre tiny! I didnât think you could actually do it.â
She turned and saw a young boy, maybe 14 or 15. He was in a mask, in a variation of the classic boy wonder suit, a new Robin. Her breath caught and she doesnât remember how to breathe for a moment.
How could he?!
How could Batman let another child take up the mantle.
She couldnât believe it, she was horrified, but more so she was livid. She wanted to march up to him and slap him. She turned and there was a tug on her wrist.
âHe isnât worth your anger, love.â Luka hummed, calming her enough that she remembered to breathe.
âYour right.â She shrugged. âBesides if I ever get arrested it isnât going to be for this.â
She laughed, which he joined into.
âSorry to interrupt, but we need a quick statement.â A gentleman, drew their attention, the coat, glasses, and the now salted chestnut hair.
âCommissioner Gordon, right?â She smiled at the officer. Sure she ran into him once but that day is in the forefront of her mind at the moment.
âYes. How did you know?â He blinked.
âAn event eerily similar to this one, a few years ago. You droveâŚâ Her eyes started to tear, but she blinked them away quickly.âJay and I home after.â
A light seemed to blink on and she thinks he recognized her, just as quickly his eyes turned somber.
âYouâve gotten big.â He seemed to sniffle, but she isnât sure if it was because of the cold or if he knows what happened to Jay. But he shook his head before getting back to his duty. âRight, a statementâŚâ
They gave a statement before turning, well Luka turned her, she assumes itâs because of Batman. She feels his stare on her and it really was starting to fucking piss her off.
â˘â˘â˘
âYou donât have to go, Marinette. â
âI know I donât have to, but itâs important to Jagged.â She sighed before waving a hand. âBesides I only met them once, I doubt they remember.â
âIf your sure.â Luka asked her again, to which she nodded.
They grabbed their jackets and walked down to the lobby of their hotel.
âYou ready to meet and old friend of mine, you two?â Jagged slung an arm around each of their necks the moment they stepped off the elevator.
âAs much as we can be.â She smiled as she and Luka linked their hands, while Penny ushered them outside.
âSo how are you liking Gotham, Mari?â Jagged asked her after she was staring out of the window a while.
âIâve been here before. Everything is familiar but different, you know.â She sighed.
âI get it itâs been too long since I was back here.â Jagged tried to get her to talk but dropped it soon enough.
She never forgot her promise and she is living it. She became one of the newest and popular fashion houses in not just Paris but was starting to gain even more traction internationally. Her personal client list was populated by some of the biggest A-listers including Jagged Stone, Clara Nightingale, Prince Ali, the Tsurugi Family, the Graham de Vanily family, and even the Queen family. She travelled the world to find inspiration, and if she helped s few people with her magical abilities she smiled at their faces. Hell she was named one of the twenty under twenty, the year before for her work with environmental textiles.
Before she knew it the gates of Wayne manor were opening before them. The same intricate iron work she remembered opened into perfectly manicured lawns on either side of the long driveway.
âJared itâs good to see you.â A cheerful voice called from the doorway, Bruce Wayne.
âBrucie! Ah, your right mate!â Jagged slung an arm around his old friend.
âThese must be your boys!â
âThis is Dick and Tim.â Bruce smiled placing a hand on each of the two he mentioned. âAnd are they yours, Jared?â
âMy son, Luka, and his sweetheart and my future daughter in law, Marinette.â He waved towards both of them.
âJagged!â She yelped in embarrassment, but it fell on deaf ears.
âAlfred good to see ya!â Jagged bounce right past the two men and child, towards the eldest gentleman.
Marinette however could feel three sets of eyes on her, and she wanted to scream. Luka tugged on her hand and squeezed, centering her.
âDinner is ready.â Alfred commanded everyoneâs attention, so they made their way to the dining room. They sat down and she tried to avoid eye contact, not really paying attention to the conversation. That is untilâŚ
âYou look so familiar, we must have met before. Now I remember, Nettie!â Her head snapped up and directly at Dick. âSo what have you been up to, Nettie.â
âPlease⌠Please donât call me that.â She tried to keep her voice level but she knows it is shaking. Her knuckles were turning white as she gripped the napkin in her lap.
âWhy not? Itâs cute.â The younger boy, Tim, she recalled answered trying to break the tension.
âBecause the only person who can call me that is dead.â She got up and started walking out of the room.
âGive her space.â She heard Luka say, probably to Jagged or maybe even the Wayneâs, she isnât sure.
She was originally going to walk out side but at the last minute she decided to climb the stairs. She only walked this way twice, once when she dumped half of her lifeâs trauma on this family and the second the morning after.
She turned the handle and it was as if time had frozen. Books piled on the bedside tables. A backpack thrown haphazardly on the desk, notebooks had spilled from it onto the floor. She walked in and sat at the foot of the bed. Model cars, motorcycles, and even engine parts littered the bookshelves. She knows dinner has probably ended but she didnât move, she wanted to cry, but that feels as if it might be insulting at the moment.
Knock.
Her head snapped from the window, a crescent moon floated low over the trees, towards the door. She doesnât know who she expected, but it wasnât Dick, maybe Alfred if sheâs honest.
âRoom for one more?â He asked quietly. She nodded and walked in, instead of sitting next to her he sat on the ground in front of her. âIm sorry. How? How did you know?â
âIt wasnât like him.â She sighed. âDid you know?â
âYeah.â He leaned back. âI was so angry with Bruce, he didnât even tell me I had to find out through the paper.â
She stared at him now. âHis death wasnât in the paper, I was looking for it but it never came. Oh kwamii, please no.â
She covered her mouth, Robinâs death was made public not Jasonâs. So if she knows and he knows, the two of them stared at one another.
âMarinette?â
âIf Jay was⌠are you⌠were you⌠that means Tim is⌠so is Bruce⌠no never mind donât answer that.â She stood. âNope. Nope. Nuh-uh!â
She looked at him and he was just staring at her.
âMarinette, how do you know?â He stood and placed a hand on each of her shoulders stopping her from pacing.
âI was there.â Her voice was resolute, staring right at the person who called himself Jayâs brother.
âYou sawâŚâ He couldnât finish his sentence.
âI was angry at you for not telling me, but you didnât know.â
âTwo months, Bruce wouldnât tell me for two months, and then I snapped.â His eyes turned dark.
âLive.â
âWhat?â He watched her, pleadingly, as she seemed to pull him from his dark thoughts.
âLive. That was the last thing he said. We were trapped in that warehouse, the bomb, once we noticed it was almost over.â He listened, his grip on her shoulders lessening. âI tried to get us out but the door was stuck, I held him until it exploded. The next second I was back in my apartment before I passed out. I didnât have enough magic to save us both.â
Tears finally flowed from her, Dick was also crying at this point. They just cried for a while, that is until everyone decided to try and find them. Luka and Alfred were the ones who did.
âI didnât know.â Dick finally spoke, his voice hoarse, from his tears.
âHow could you?â She wiped the last of her tears away.
âWe should have said something to you. You were his only friend.â
âMaster Dick.â Alfred handed him a handkerchief.
âYou truly a Paon, Alfred.â She smiled.
âTell Jagged Iâll meet you guys back at the hotel, Luka.â
âYou better not be planning anything.â
âMe.â She smiled, a glimmer in her eyes. âNever.â
â˘â˘â˘
A portal appeared under her and she disappeared.
âMelody.â He called out but he knew she didnât hear, so he shook his head, a laugh that turned into a grumble. âI better not read about this tomorrow.â
The two others looked at him as if he could explain, but really he doesnât think he should.
The fact that this man has a miraculous means he can be trusted, but with what he knows he is wary.
She seems to trust both if her song was any indication and they donât mean to hurt her. But itâs not his secret to tell.

us against the world
âNow this might sound controversial, but I think that went well.â Jagged says cheerfully, sticking the key into the ignition. Marinette huffs out a laugh, shaking her head.Â
âIf by well you mean the school is still standing, then sure, it went well.â She says. Jagged frowns, pulling the car away from the curb.Â
âWhatâs wrong, M?â He asks, his cheerful tone switched for a serious one. Marinette frowns, turning her attention out the window.Â
âI just- I donât think Iâm going to fit in at that school. Itâll be like being around a bunch of Chloes, and I just- I donât know.â She sighs.Â
âJust- just give it a chance, yeah?â He asks softly. Marinette nods, silently. She would try to like Gotham Academy. Just like she would try to like Gotham itself. âYou start tomorrow, but Iâve got an interview Iâve got to get to in New York. Pennyâs gonna stay behind and make sure you get to and from school okay.â Jagged adds. Marinette turns to him, raising an eyebrow.Â
âYouâre going to go do something without Penny?â She asks. He nods. âYou know Iâm fourteen, right? I can take care of myself for a few days.â Jagged frowns.Â
âIâm not leaving you alone for your first day of school, Mari. I know- I know that Iâm not your dad, and that Iâm not the best person to try and be a parent for you. But Iâm trying, kid. I really am. And part of that is making sure you have support when you need it. Starting at a new school is definitely something that you need support with.â He says.
âI think youâre doing fine.â Marinette says softly.
âThanks, kiddo.â Jagged says, just as softly, as he turns the car down the excessively long driveway. Gotham, Marinette had decided, was odd. But she would try to enjoy it.Â
---
Staring up at the building looming over her, Marinette tries hard to not panic. It was just school, after all. Sure, she was transferring in two months after everyone else had started. And she was in a new country. And she was alone. But that was fine. Everything was going to be fine. Sucking in a deep breath, Marinette pushes through the front doors. And immediately runs into a person.Â
âMon dieu, er, Iâm so sorry. I just kinda shoved the door open and I wasnât really looking where I was going because Iâm so early and I thought that no one else would be here yet and-â Marinette begins to ramble, nervously wringing her hands.Â
âTt. If the doors to the building are unlocked, there is usually someone else inside.â The boy says stiffly. Marinette glances at him, trying to figure out if he was being serious or sarcastic. Deciding to just count her losses, she nods.Â
âRight. Well, sorry again.â She says. The boy simply hums in acknowledgement before walking away. Pushing her bangs out of her face, Marinette sighs. The first classmate sheâd met and itâd gone horribly. Go figure. Hopefully once she had her schedule, things would go better. And who knows, maybe mystery angry guy wasnât in any of her classes.Â
---
Marinette was going to have a long, long talk with the kwami when she got home. Theoretically, they probably had nothing to do with her horrible luck. But not only did she share almost every class with the angry guy, but she was also assigned to sit next to him in said classes. Including being assigned his lab partner in biology. You would think saving France from a crazed meglomaniac would give her enough good karma that she wouldnât have to worry about sitting by grumpy boys who refused to talk to her in every class. Apparently not. Walking into the cafeteria, Marinette can feel her panic creeping in once again. Tables were full, or nearing full, and she had no friends. It wasnât easy when everyone else already knew each other, and had routines that theyâd been following since August. Scanning the room, she spots a fairly empty table, but pauses. The guy from earlier was sitting there, angrily tearing apart his sandwich while another boy talks animatedly to him. It was the last thing she actually wanted to do, but seeing as it was the most empty table, sheâd have to just go with it. Better to sit away from the two boys quietly than sit at a table where people were going to ask her a million questions that she didnât want to answer. Stopping at the edge of the table, she clears her throat and tries not to flinch when the boy from earlier sends a small glare her way.Â
âI promise I wonât talk to you guys, thereâs just- most of the other tables are full. Could I sit here?â She asks, direcitng her question to the talkative one instead of the angry one. His eyes widen slightly, but he nods.Â
âOh, uh, sure, of course. Um, you can sit closer to us if you want.â He offers, nodding to the chair at the end of the table closest to them. Marinette hesitates.Â
âOh, well I wouldnât-â She starts, but the angry boy cuts her off.Â
âJust sit. Lunch is only twenty minutes and youâve already wasted nearly half of it.â He says, his voice lacking the venom sheâd expected. Marinette sits and pulls out the lunch that Penny had packed her, her lips twitching up at the note.Â
âWhatâs that?â The talkative boy asks, leaning slightly in. Marinette feels herself blush involuntarily. Itâs not that she was embarrassed that Penny had left the note but- well, she was in high school.Â
âOh. Er, my-â Marinette pauses, trying to think of a good word for Penny. âGuardian put a note in my lunch. I think she was worried since itâs my first day.â She says, shrugging.Â
âGuardian?â He asks. Marinette winces.Â
âYeah. Guardian.â She says. He opens his mouth, probably to ask another question, but his friend cuts him off.Â
âHarv, cool it with the questions.â He says. His friend- Harv?- pouts, but nods.Â
âSorry about that. Iâm Harvey, by the way. Harvey Dent.â He says. Marinette smiles.Â
âIâm Marinette Dupain-Cheng.â She says, glancing at the âangryâ boy. She raises an eyebrow to him and he snorts.Â
âReally? You donât know me?â He asks, and it didnât sound pretentious. Instead, he sounded shocked. And a little tired. Marinette shrugs.Â
âHavenât been in Gotham for very long.â She says.Â
âIâm Bruce.â He says. âWelcome to Gotham Academy.â Marinette smiles back at the boy. Maybe Gotham Academy wouldnât be as bad as she thought it would be.
Next
***
So this idea came to me and wouldnât leave my head. Let me know what you guys think! I have a general idea for where I want to go with this, and once I have a little more, itâll move to AO3 (as is typical for my stories).Â

Is there any story where Marinette is related to Dick? Like she's his child or sister. I would really like to read some stories like that right now.

Imagine Adrien as Bruce Wayneâs son, and no one wouldâve guest cause he favors his mum so well. So you just have this blonde sunshine among a bunch a raven headed emoâs and Dick. Then thereâs just Damian going around like âplease excuse my brother, he has a genetic disease called Blonde.â Like Damian loves AdrienâŚ.but heâs so damn Blonde it puts Steph to shame.
Then the if Marinette shows up the entire Batfam just thanks the heavens cause at least sheâs here to make sure he doesnât get himself killed

So I was just thinking about all the Marinette gets left in Gotham fics and it got me wondering as everyone has their own "canon" outfit for the batfam well except Signal he only has the one costume, but maribat fandom what is your batfam outfit roster look like? To clarify what I mean when you read a fic that the batfam shows up in and no description of costume is given what do they wear? i.e. New 52 or animated series.

As I promised a while ago:
Dragons platonic ABO AU
So, I've read some platonic Omegaverse stories and damn, that shit can be so fluffy and I'm always down for some fluff đ¤ŠÂ
Characters being happy and cute and everyone joining the cuddling session and I just fell in love đ
And I also read some Dragon!AUs and I thought, why not both? Both were a different fandom and yeah, I think Maribat needs an AU with dragons and platonic ABO dynamics.
There's a lot of worldbuilding, the story idea, if you want to skip there, starts after **********
So, the different dynamics have nothing to do with reproduction, they are more like a biological manifestation (hormones etc.) of the social role they lean towards. A group of dragons in which these dynamics come into play is called a Pride (yeah, I like "a Pride of dragons", I think it has a ring to it đ). Humans don't have a dynamic, only dragons or part-dragons do. Part-dragons are called serpent (if the mother was a human and they were born in their human form) or drake (if the mother was a dragon and they hatched).
Alphas are competitive and often trying to show off. They thrive on conflict (doesn't have to be a serious one) and competition.
Betas draw their strengths from solitude and themselves. They avoid conflicts or act as mediators, partly because their chances are the worst if they actually get caught up in a conflict, but they are also the most peace-loving dragons.
Omegas thrive on having an active social circle, the bigger the better. They draw their strength from their love for others. Usually they are calm and don't get themselves involved in arguments, but if their Pride is endangered, they can be lethal. A pissed off omega is nothing anyone would ever want to face.
Dragons are usually born as an egg and hatch after a few months. Baby dragons are called hatchlings (even serpents who are born in their human form), in their early teens they present as their dynamic and are then called dragonlings. Since dragons live a lot longer than humans they are only considered adult dragons (by other dragons) in their mid-twenties to early-thirties. Trying to seriously court before then will not be received well by a dragonling's Pride.Â
If two eggs are laid in a clutch, fraternal twins end up being omega and alpha, identical twins are usually both betas.
There are no "rules" for who is in charge of a Pride, but omegas often have an easier time, since their social skills are higher.
Every dynamic goes through a hormonal cycle every few months but how they experience it differs from person to person. Some want to cuddle, some need warmth, some only eat raw meat during their cycle. But the most comfortable way to spend the cycle is usually in one's own nest with a few Pride mates close by to offer cuddles, comfort, someone to talk to or to fetch something they need.Â
The laws differ between countries, but since humans haven't had the wish to fight a dragon since the middle ages and especially the older, famous Prides did their best to present dragons as harmless if not provoked (and they also had the money and influence to steer public opinion in that direction), the laws aren't too restrictive in most places. In places like Gotham, which has a very long history influenced by dragons and was co-founded by dragons, hence all the gargoyles, they are actually pretty lax. And in France for example there are several dragon protection laws in place.Â
So, I think this is enough about worldbuilding. Here comes the story idea (but if you feel inspired by the world building, go ahead, have fun and tag me, so I can have fun as well đ
):
**********
The Dupain-Chengs were a young couple of bakers who barely had anything to do with dragons until one day when they were just about to close their bakery there was a woman rushing in.
She asked them to take care of the egg she held in her arms, saying that she had to fear that the egg's grandfather would cast the egg out or mistreat the little hatchling.
Since the young couple were good people and wouldn't want a baby, dragon or human, to be treated badly, they agreed and the woman gave them a big shawl made of shedded dragon skin. The old skin of the egg's mother, the woman explained. They would need the shawl to prove they didn't steal the egg.
The next day they went to the authorities and explained what happened. Usually an abandoned egg would be given to another Pride who was willing to raise another hatchling, especially the older prides were always eager to add fresh blood. But since they had the shawl, they could prove that the egg's mother had chosen them and therefore they were allowed to keep the egg, if they would comply with the statutory requirements. These included classes about parenting a hatchling, social structures between dragons, dragon biology and more like this, as well as at least one adult dragon (or serpent/drake) who was willing to support them (that's how they met Nadja, a beta who felt a bit lonely, since her Pride wasn't from Paris, and was happy to help). The requirements also said that at least after her presentation she would have to be enrolled in a school with at least 30% dragonlings.
Since the Francois-Dupont schools were highly recommended integrated schools (schools with a special focus on dragonlings and human-dragon-relationships), they sent their hatchling, they called her Marinette, there.
Marinette presented as an omega during the summer break. Her parents tried hard and did a good job, but there were still some things they couldn't teach her, so she turned to Nadja and to doing her own research. She started to babysit Manon, because it gave her another dragon in her social circle and when she went through her cycle the first time, she realized there were things her parents just couldn't understand: As an omega her need for a big social circle wasn't satisfied with her parents allowing her to sleep in their bedroom during her cycle. And they wouldn't allow her friends Nino and Kim, two dragons from her class she befriended, to stay in her nest with her. As humans they only saw it as two teenage boys sleeping in the same bed as their teenage daughter.
That's why Marinette started to do her own research, so she could better understand her instincts. This was why her teacher, Madame Bustier, a human, didn't really recognize the formerly meek and quiet girl after the break. Marinette grew and didn't accept getting pushed around anymore. Not by her teacher, with whom she had a very serious talk outside, and not by Chloe, an alpha drake.Â
Since Marinette feels more comfortable in her skin (or shall I say scales?), she gets more confident and her natural leader qualities easily put her in the spot of the Pride's Head or Prima of the school's Pride. For most students the Pride of Francois Dupont is not their primary Pride (that would be their family), but since the school is meant as an integrated school there are also many students like Marinette or Chloe, who don't have a suitable primary Pride available.
One of these students is Adrien, a beta drake, who has to attend the school now, since his mother disappeared.
Adrien at first only knows Chloe and she also scares everyone else away. Chloe is his friend, but he really would like to formally be accepted into the Pride, but that can't happen, if Chloe scares everyone away and he can't even talk to his classmates.
That's the way it goes for a week until the Prima, an omega dragon he feels pretty intimidated by, snaps and drags Chloe off to an unknown location. Another beta dragon introduces himself as Nino, assures him that he doesn't have to worry about Chloe, because Marinette, the Prima, would never harm any of them and invites him to hang out.
Adrien slowly befriends his classmates after that. Chloe gives him more space and seems to keep closer to Marinette. He still feels intimidated, until she gifts him a scarf for his birthday. That's the first time he sees her self-conscious as she explains that she sewed a few of her scales from one of her shedded skins on the edges, because she read that they are needed to create an official acceptance present for a new Pride member. It's actually a tradition old established Prides follow, but since Marinette found out about it in her research, she thinks it's normal and she likes the idea, that her Pride members have something that smells like her.
Since Adrien's mother was the only dragon he had in France and the rest of his Pride lives in the UK (Amelie, Felix, maternal grandparents, his uncle before he died), Marinette as his new Prima has some legal leverage over Gabriel, who as a human is considered a less important bond. Adrien still lives with Gabriel, since he assured Marinette that he doesn't want to leave his father all alone, but Marinette put her foot down about his schedule, so he has less modeling gigs and only the extra curriculars he likes, like fencing. Adrien is still a bit intimidated, but he also adores her, because not many people are willing to butt heads with his dad and come out on top.
They are still Ladybug and Chat Noir, by the way, but since they hide being dragons when they transform it only changes the dynamic a bit, so they feel a lot more like siblings and best friends with no romantic interest.
Marinette also still attracts the attention of Jagged Stone, who is an alpha dragon and excited to hear, that his kids Juleka (alpha serpent) and Luka (omega serpent) are already friends with his new favourite designer.
Kagami and her mother are both alphas and when Kagami joins the fencing team Adrien recognizes another lonely kid when he sees one, so he asks Marinette to watch the fencing class the next time and introduces Kagami to her.
Kagami has only her mother from her Pride in Paris and since they are both alphas, she enjoys spending time with Adrien and Marinette. They have a calming effect on her and she is happier. At first her mother tries to forbid Kagami from spending time with them, she only accepts them, when Adrien and Marinette convince her to send Kagami to their school (it may have also helped that Marinette "casually" mentioned how close she is with Nadja).
Amelie and Felix end up coming to Paris, because they want to take Adrien back to London, but there they meet Marinette and Amelie, a beta dragon, is so endeared by her, she decides to stay in Paris and send Felix to the same school to get to know Marinette. Felix can't understand what his aunt, a beta dragon, like his mother, from an old Pride, saw in his uncle, a human designer with dubious talents (as Felix says).
Felix is an alpha dragonling, so it's not a surprise that he likes to show off his skills as an actor and a magician. And how smart he is, obviously. When his cycle arrives after he joined the class he butts heads with the other alphas of the school's Pride, especially Chloe, Kim, Alix and Kagami, since he's around them more.
The last addition to the class is Lila, who spends her first day lying about being an omega. It turns out there were only 3 dragons at her last boarding school and die other two were beta twins several classes above her and her classmates seemed to like her more as an omega than an alpha. Her mother is human and her father a drake, which makes her a serpent and she still can't transform into her dragon form. That's why her dragon grandparents finally relented and allowed her mother to have her with her.
Since this version of Marinette is much mote confident she doesn't let this lying grow and points to the information about Lila on file and after getting to the root of the problem, they assure her that she is just as welcome as an alpha.
Just like Chloe, Lila turns out to be a bit clingy and asks Marinette to stay with her during her cycle.
The school actually has a so called nesting room where the dragon and part-dragon students can hang out and build their nests. Human students need to be invited, which doesn't happen often, because humans don't have the instincts to nest and for most of them it's boring or childish, since it's basically hanging out in a pillow fort, sleeping and cuddling for most of the time.
On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean Damian Wayne (alpha dragon) has found his place in his father's Pride. He learns from his father Bruce Wayne (omega dragon, Primus of the Wayne Pride) and his siblings Richard Grayson (alpha dragon), Cassandra Cain (beta dragon), Jason Todd (omega serpent), Timothy Drake (omega dragon, but with more beta mannerisms than other omegas, because his parents needed him to be a beta like they were) and Duke Thomas (human meta) and everyone else in his extended family.
During patrol one night his mother lures him away to ask him if he is happy. When he says yes, she tells him she will do something, so his grandfather will leave him alone for good, although she couldn't say that about Ra's obsession with Tim, since that obsession might become worse.
He reports the incident and they realize that there could be only one explanation: Damian has a twin sister and his mother is going to get her, to present her to his grandfather. Since Damian knows that his grandfather is displeased by his presenting as an alpha, since an omega would have better skills as the leader of the league, and that's one of the reasons Ra's preferred Tim, he knows that his grandfather had no idea about his granddaughter. Otherwise he would already train her. This also means his mother must have made sure, she was well hidden, she might not even know herself where she was.
Of course they will move heaven and earth to find their lost little sister and protect her from the league. They just wish that stupid magical terrorist in Paris could have waited until they found her and made sure she is safe.

Tumblr Maribat AU Prompt Recommendations 4
Letters revealing a scary truth by @mysnis
"Please reach JL, villain in Paris."
"What? A villain in Paris?" Bruce asked. He frowned. "Why is she hiding it?"
"I'm hoping that the previous letters will reveal that." Tim answered. Damian stared between the two before heading to his room. He came back quickly looking at them.
Lost and Found by @soulmate-game
This doesn't actually have a title
âIs that a kid?â
âYep,â Batmanâs grin grew.
âIs she⌠stealing my tires?â Hood was so, so glad he wore a helmet that hid his expression. Because⌠wow.
âYep,â Batman finally lost his composure, chuckling. âThis seems like Karma, donât you think?â
De-Aged by @timinette-is-best
âHow is there a fairy in the Pixieâs pocket?â
He asked jokingly while swinging the hands back and forth!
âLookin lookie! Itâs a Ladybug fairy! Sheâs so pwetty.â
Marinette held Tikki in both of her hands and jumped up and down trying to get him to look. Jason chuckled and looked down at the toy. It was cute, he had never seen something like it before. Then it blinked, and flew out of Marinetteâs hand, and oh gosh, IT CAN TALK?!
Innocence, avoidance by @consumeconstantly
To be more precise, heâs hoping that sheâs simply avoiding his detection, and hasnât gotten swept up in something bad.
It takes Jason three hours-- three hours-- to find the girl who canât be much older than ten. Probably not even ten, judging by her size.
âYouâre lucky itâs me finding you, and not someone else, Pixie.â He finally catches a glance of her glaringly sparkly backpack, complete with fairies and unicorns covered in some sort of holographic overlay.
The New Adoptee by @purple-goo-writes , @mochegato & @thepacifistavenger
This doesn't actually have a title
Alfred will tell him. Alfred knows everything.
âMaster Bruce, Iâm shocked at you. Surely you know your most recent adopteeâs name?â
Adoptee?! Whenâ? How??
Thereâs a light tap just below his right shoulder bladeâshe really is a tiny slip of a thingâand he turns to meet her wide-eyed, innocent, sapphire gaze. Oh, no. Did she learn this look from Jason? Or is it her own and thatâs how it is that she fits in so well with the rest?

Marks of Magic
Day 6 Cat of Maribat Spooktober 2023
First *** Previous *** Next
Language and cursing is used
1600 Words
~~~~~~~~~~
Well shit.
"Miss Marinette how do you know of the kwamii, especially those two?" Alfred questioned and she curled a bit under his gaze.
"I⌠Paon." She looked up at him, but averted her eyes towards Jay, but he was staring at both herself and Alfred. "August 24th 1944."
She looked up, the words she was speaking didnât seem like her own. But she knew them all the same. Alfred seemed to pale.
"How do you know that?" He staggered slightly, catching himself on the back of a couch.
"Itâs when they were lost." She shrugged, the story that Fu passed to her easily came to her mind, because it wasnât her memory but Fuâs. (Guardians pass memories along to the next so they wouldnât repeat the same mistakes.)
"I am so lost, Alfie?" Dick rose and tried to get the older man to talk.
"You are much to young."
"Ha." She snorted. "And you think I didnât tell Fu that."
She crossed her arms.
"Where are they? You said they were lost, how? I canât seem to remember." Dick had gotten him to sit down but his every question sent pangs through her heart.
"They have been found, and are safe." She was still fiddling with her ring.
"The miraculous of the black cat." Alfred spoke so certainly that it forced her to look up, away from the the kwamii she had drawn. "Where is he? He can come out, weâŚ"
He looked around at the boys but stopped when his eyes landed on her. Silent tears rushed her face, all the words she has been wanting to share choked her.
Tikki, she wishes she was still here but that will never happen. Plagg, she didnât meet often but he really did care about her, the other kwamii, and especially Chat Noir. Chat Noir has it worse she has told herself constantly. More than likely Plagg was his friend too and then overnight without warning he was gone, no way to contact her, and not knowing why.
"NettieâŚ" Jay stepped towards her, quickly glancing between her and Alfred, stopping in his tracks. "Whatâs going on?"
"Theyâre gone." She finally choked out. "I got the grimore, Nooroo, and even Dusuu back, but⌠I miss them."
"What did you do?" Alfred dropped down onto the floor and lifted her chin.
"I won the war in Paris."
"What war?" Dick she thinks spoke but her eyes were on Alfred, his aura calming her.
She pulled out her phone and quickly searched it, turning the device towards the others.
"What is this!" A voice she wasnât expecting practically growled, Bruce was standing in the room, reading over Dickâs shoulder.
"You made a wish?"
The question wasnât accusatory, but she flinched. "No, but it might have hurt less if I did." She finally looked away from the group.
"Marinette, who are you?" Alfred asked her, she looked up and something clicked a flash of dark blue light emulated from him. Pinned on his lapel was none other than the miraculous of the peacock. The man tenderly touched the broach as if it was going to disappear forever, she knew she could trust him, so with that she took a breath.
"I am, Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Holder of the miraculous of the ladybug, the heroine of Paris, Ladybug, and the guardian of the Chinese zodiac Box of Miracles." She addressed resolutely, her conviction and pride fueled every word, while understanding seemed to flood Alfredâs features.
"If I had known⌠" Alfred whispered, looking at her like the pieces fell into place.
"Are you saying this happened, that children fought this maniac. Why not ask for help, there are other heroes in Paris, even the Justice League could have sent reinforcements." Bruce seemed to seethe.
"Itâs not like I was given a choice, the other heroes left or quit, besides the Justice League knew about it and did nothing." She became defensive, even if she felt she could trust them, Bruceâs tone rubbed her the wrong way. She started this fight at the tender age of 11. Fought a magical war while trying to not feel anything for 3 years. Endured bullying and heartbreak for just as long, but couldnât let herself feel it. So yes she is angry when someone she barely knows is offering âsolutionsâ when she had exhausted them long ago.
She didnât even notice how quiet the room had gotten, but was staring at the man who offended her character. She was a child when all this started, of course she tried, but why, why would he be so mad. That is what she didnât understand.
"Master Bruce calm yourself!" Alfred scolded the other adult in the room. (Who was making a straight beeline towards the grandfather clock to his right.)
"It doesnât matter anymore, itâs over." She sighed finally deflating, knowing that anything done now wonât change anything.
"Miss Marinette, that is not nothing." Alfred stood and faced her.
"That is not something you should have had to do alone."
"I wasnât, I had a partner." She mumbled as if it would change the minds of the adults.
"You said you were the holder of the ladybug miraculous, but you are wearing the miraculous of the black cat. Did you wield both?" She was asked by Alfred who seemed to know the most.
"I did a few times, but I wasnât Plaggâs cat, I was Tikkiâs. My partner was Chat Noir, he was the holder of the black cat."
"What happened to him?"
"I donât know?" She shrugged. She took off the ring and started tracing the face of the ring. "Probably worried, Hawkmoth, Plagg, Ladybug, and Chat Noir disappeared without warning from his life. Black cats really are bad luck."
"Nettie, youâre a hero". Jay was now right in front of her, tentatively he reached out and took her hands.
"Was⌠the kwamii donât exist in this universe, not anymore."
"My dear." Alfred placed a hand on the top of her head. "This proves they still can. That they are more of the metaphysical than before."
He tapped the broach before pointing to the ring in her hands before noticing her earrings.
"Why donât you both go to bed, itâs getting late, and itâs a school night." Bruce finally spoke again. He was still angry, yet she could tell his anger wasnât towards her. Actually she couldnât tell who he was angry at, but she knows he is.
"Okay." Mari palmed the last tears from her eyes as Jay stood up and pulled her from the room.
â˘â˘â˘
"Alfred tell us all you can." Master Bruce marched down the steps into the cave.
Master Dick and himself followed. "I donât know what exactly happened to her, but the miraculous, I may be able to shed some light on."
"If my math is correct she was eleven when all of that started. B she was a child." Master Dick was horrified.
Although he went through similar event he was older, the boy was only 13 at the time of his parents accident after all. Master Bruce was also young during his parents death, and although he became the Bat it wasnât until he was and adult.
"Why did no one take it seriously?" He was scanning all calls to the Justice league, until a call log from Paris showed on the screen marked from two and a half years ago.
âYouâve reached the Justice League, how can we help?â A bored voice, the log said Booster Gold, answered the phone with a yawn.
âHello! Please Paris needs adult heroes, all the older heroes left and we canât keep this up!â A young female voice started to rush their words.
âIâve told you before, kid, nothing has happened in Paris. Stop prank calling. This line is only for actual emergencies that require actual heroes.â Booster Gold seemed to wave the girl off. âDonât call again.â
They continued through the log, some earlier calls were looked into but since nothing seemed to be proven they dropped the inquiry. If what they saw from the site the Ladyblog it was no wonder. All damage all lives taken were brought back in pristine condition. Ladybug, Marinette, and who she called Chat Noir were the primary heroes for the past three years. Few other heroes would aid them, which he recognized the miraculous that they used.
"We canât do anything about this can we." Master Jason had come down into the cave. "Sheâs asleep."
"The past is past, unfortunately." Master Bruce dragged his hands down his face. "Besides these children are practically meta, or even magic users, right?"
"Yes. But donât forget these children grew into child soldiers and more than likely they could not trust anyone with this pressure. If Miss Marinetteâs emotional collapse is any indication." Alfred supplied.
"Jay go to bed Dick and I will go on patrol."
"But."
"Jason." Bruce snapped at the boy.
"FineâŚ" The child surrendered, all his fight leaving him at Bruceâs words. The boy trudged up the steps.
"Bruce heâs worried for his friend! Canât you see that." Master Dick slammed his hands on the desk in front of him.
"Sheâs a meta Dick."
"She is a child."
"That doesnât change facts." Bruce spun around to face his elder ward.
"You work with aliens, metas, even magic users, and so do I. Our teams are made up by them, so whatâs the difference." Master Bruce didnât say anything, making the young man even angrier. "Figure it out Bruce." Dick started to walk away, before turning back. "Donât call until you do."
He left without another word.
"Master Bruce."
Silence.

2022 Secret Santa Gift Exchange
For: @lifeexperience hope you enjoy!
Marinette was a simple child of parents who loved her, but not each other. Some of her friends at school had parents just like that, but they were divorced. But her parents never actually married, so they didnât get a cool word. But really, all it meant was that she had to split her time between her Maman and her Dad. Unfortunately for her, her parents had decided to live a whole ocean apart. So she couldnât just visit on weekends like her friend Max could. But it was finally summer again, and she was finally back in Gotham. Glancing around, Marinette grins widely the second she spots Alfred.Â
âAlfie!â She cheers, running around the other people in the baggage claim area. Alfredâs lips twitch up into a small smile.Â
âItâs nice to see you again, Miss Marinette.â He says. Marinette grins widely, pointing to the new gap in her teeth.Â
âLook! I lost another tooth.â She says. Alfred raises an eyebrow.Â
âHave you already received a visit from the tooth fairy?â He asks. She nods, holding Alfredâs hand as they walk through the parking lot.Â
âWhereâs dad?â She asks, swinging their arms.Â
âDo you remember Mr. Kent?â Alfred asks. Marinette nods. He came to the manor a lot more than her dad liked, but she didnât mind cause he usually brought his son Jon with him. âHe and your father are in the middle of a meeting, and he couldnât step away.â Alfred explains. Marinette resists the urge to ask if Jon was there too. Hopefully it was just a super quick meeting and then her dad could hang out with her. She knew that he was always super busy. He worked at a really big company, and he had a bunch of kids, and he was Batman. But he was still a good dad, and she knew he tried.Â
âIs Cass home?â She asks, buckling herself into her booster seat (Alfred insisted, even though she tried to convince him that ten was plenty old enough to use a normal seat; apparently she was too short).Â
âIâm afraid Miss Cass wonât be home for another week or so. Your brothers should all be there, though Master Duke and Master Tim wonât be staying for long. Theyâre going on a weekend trip with a few friends.â He explains. Marinette hums in surprise. It was really rare for Tim to leave Gotham for something not hero related. Sheâd have to make a bet with Damian to see what the odds were that Tim and Duke were actually going on a secret mission that they hadnât told anybody about. It seemed much more likely. Marinette zones out on the rest of the car ride, just watching as her favorite city passes by. She liked Paris and spending time with her Maman, but Gotham had always felt more like her home. Gotham was where her dad and brothers and Alfred were. It was her home. As the manor appears out the window, Marinette grins at the sight of her dad waiting for her outside. The second the car stops, Marinette is out and running to her dad. She launches herself at him and sighs happily as he picks her up and wraps her in a big hug.Â
âI missed you too.â He says softly, giving her one last squeeze before setting her down. âHow was the last week of school?â Marinette sighs dramatically, grinning when she sees the moment her dad spots her new missing tooth.Â
âI lost another tooth! And Alix didnât even pull this one out for me.â She says happily. Her dad sighs, but she can tell he really wants to laugh.Â
âYou two are going to cause so much trouble one day, arenât you?â He asks. Marinette shrugs.Â
âDepends on if itâs fun or not. Whereâre the boys?â She asks, leaning slightly to look past him.Â
âTim and Duke are packing, and Jasonâs in the library. Last I checked, Dick was also in the library attempting to convince Jason to go do something else.â Her dad says with a small smile, the same smile he always got when he mentioned Jason. The memories werenât super clear, but she did have some memories of when Jason died. She probably purposefully blocked out most of it, though. (Or thatâs what Max thought, when sheâd talked to him about it once; he was super smart). That was a rough summer. Tim hadnât come around yet, and her dad and Dick were both really, really sad. And angry. As much as theyâd both tried to hide it from her, she heard them yelling. And she saw the reports of what Batman was doing, even if the news only had stories and never any actual pictures of what Batman had become. No matter what she tried, she couldnât get her dad back to who he was before Jason died. She spent most of that summer baking with Alfred and drawing in the library on the couch where Jason used to read her stories. By the time she came home for Thanksgiving (a holiday she knew her dad didnât care about, but one he celebrated so that she could have an excuse to come to Gotham more) Tim was there.Â
Snapping out of her thoughts, Marinette frowns when she realizes there was a brother missing.Â
âWhat about Damian?â She asks. Her dad frowns as Mr. Kent smiles, and thatâs when Marinette remembers Damian talking about his new friend, Kent. Her eyes widen. âIs Jon here?â She asks, resisting the urge to just run towards the manor. Her dad opens his mouth to respond, but Mr. Kent cuts him off.Â
âTheyâre in the game room closest to the living room.â He says. Marinette squeals out a thanks before rushing off. Time to see Jon!
---
Bruceâs eyes narrow as he looks at one of his oldest friends. Clark just laughs, shaking his head.Â
âYou know she wouldâve found them eventually, Bruce.â He says. Bruce huffs.Â
âThat doesnât mean you had to just send her off to him.â He argues. Clark raises an eyebrow, the amusement clear on his face.Â
âTheyâre kids, Bruce. Itâs not like theyâre going to get married tomorrow-â Clark starts to say, but Bruce cuts him off.Â
âOr ever.â
âThatâs not what Jon said.âÂ
âClark-â
âBruce, breathe. Last time they talked, Marinette apparently told Jon that she was going to marry him one day. It was very matter-of-fact and, need I remind you, theyâre children. Plenty of kids have crushes that never amount to anything. And besides that, theyâre friends, Bruce. Neither of them have many friends that know about everything. You really gonna take that away from either of them?â Clark asks, crossing his arms. Bruce sighs.Â
âFine. But we will revisit this conversation in a few years.â He says. Clark chuckles, but agrees. Bruce, who knows how determined his daughter can be, doesnât laugh.Â
---
âJon!â Marinette squeals, running into the room. Jon turns around and grins, opening his arms. Before Marinette can throw herself into the hug, Damian steps between them, frowning. Marinette skids to a stop, raising an eyebrow at her older brother.Â
âWhat is the meaning of this?â Damian asks, looking between them. Marinette huffs.Â
âI was trying to hug my friend.â She says, arms crossed. Damian raises an eyebrow, crossing his arms too.Â
âKent is my friend, Marinette.â He says firmly. Marinetteâs eyes narrow.Â
âHe was my friend first!â She counters. Damian turns to Jon.Â
âWell, are you going to say anything?â He asks. Jonâs eyes widen.Â
âWell, uh, I-â He stammers over his words.Â
âLeave him out of this! Canât you see youâre stressing him out!â Marinette yells at her older brother. He scoffs.Â
âOh, Iâm stressing him out?â He asks. âWhat about you? Rushing in here and trying to hug him with no prior warning?â
âJon happens to like my hugs.â Marinette says firmly. Damian snorts humorlessly.Â
âAre you sure he isnât just being nice?â He asks. Marinette feels her cheeks turn red.Â
âActually-â Jon starts.Â
âStay out of this, Kent.â Damian warns. Marinette rolls her eyes.Â
âWhy are you such a know it all, all the time?â She asks, trying hard not to scream.Â
âWhy are you such a little baby?â Damian taunts.Â
âThatâs it!â Marinette shrieks before letting out a battle cry. She rushes towards her brother, fists flying. Every time he dodges, she shrieks. She wasnât trained like he was. It wasnât fair! Suddenly, arms are around her, lifting her away from Damian just as Damian is restrained by Dick.Â
âWhoa, whoa, whoa! What is going on in here?â He asks, looking between them. Marinette glances back, stopping kicking when she realizes Jason is the one holding her back. He was officially her favorite brother at the moment.Â
âMarinette is acting like a child simply because Kent is now my friend.â Damian tuts, tilting his nose up. Marinetteâs eyes widen and she immediately starts thrashing around again in an attempt to go kick the heck out of her brother.Â
âYou are the worst! Thatâs not what happened at all!â She argues.Â
âCool it, kiddo.â Jason says quietly. Marinette shakes her head.Â
âNo! Heâs being mean, and Iâm gonna beat him up for it!â She insists. Damian snorts, but immediately stops at the look Dick gives him.Â
âAlright. You two clearly need some time apart right now. Jason.â Dick nods towards the door and Marinetteâs eyes widen.Â
âThis isnât fair! Why does Damian get to hang out with Jon? Heâs probably hung out with him all day! Heâs my friend too!â She complains, going limp in Jasonâs hold. Jason sighs, taking her out of the game room and towards the library.Â
âJust breathe, Mari. Iâm sure youâll get to hang out with Jon a ton this summer. Heâs over here all the time now.â Jason says. Marinetteâs face falls into a frown. Before Damian came, Jon never wanted to hang out at the manor all the time. Even when Marinette was in town. Did he��.was he really her friend? Or was Damian right. âOkay kid, if I set you down, do you promise not to go beat the shit out of the Gremlin?â Jason asks. Marinette nods.Â
âI uh, I think Iâm really tired, Jay. Iâm gonna go take a nap, okay?â Sheâs trying really hard not to cry. Jason frowns, but nods.Â
âIf youâre sure. Hey, you know you can talk to me, right?â He asks. Marinette nods, and gives Jason a half hearted smile before she heads upstairs. Was Jon really her friend?
---
An hour later, Marinetteâs door creaks open slightly. She glances over and waves half-heartedly at Jason. He frowns.Â
âHey kid, are you okay? I thought you were gonna take a nap.â He says. Marinette shrugs.Â
âNot tired anymore.â She says. Jasonâs eyebrows scrunch together.Â
âI was gonna head home,â He starts, and Marinette feels her shoulders slump even more. âBut, if you want, you could tag along. I was gonna make spaghetti for dinner.â He adds. Marinette perks up immediately. Damian may want to hog Jon (who may or may not be her friend), but Jason was always there for her.Â
âCan we watch Little Women? The one with Winona Ryder?â She asks, Jason grins and nods.Â
âSure thing, kid. Grab a bag and let Bruce know. Iâll wait outside.â He says. Marinette nods and quickly packs up a backpack, then hesitates. It was only her first night back home. If she asked her dad, she ran the risk of him saying no. And then sheâd have to eat dinner with Damian. And Jon. Nope. No, siree, she wasnât going to risk that. Grabbing a piece of paper from her desk, she scribbles out a little note. Itâd be fine, and if he was mad at herâŚwell, he probably wouldnât be mad. She was leaving a note! Just in case, she hurries down the back stairs and out the side door. No need to risk running into her dad. Sheâd talk to him tomorrow.Â
---
Bruce lets his shoulders relax as he walks in and sits down for dinner. Clark had left just after Marinette arrived, but heâd had League business that couldnât wait. Which meant dinner was the first time heâd be able to actually sit and talk to his daughter since her visit at Easter. Looking around the table, he frowns.Â
âHas anyone seen Marinette?â he asks. Tim glances around, then shakes his head.Â
âUh, no. Actually, I havenât seen her all day. Wasnât she coming home today?â He asks. Bruce nods, trying to push down the worry welling up.Â
âLittle D?â Dick says, and Bruce glances at Damian, narrowing his eyes.Â
âDamian. Care to explain?â Bruce asks. Damian purses his lips and tilts his chin up. A move he got from his mother.Â
âShe was acting like a child. We argued and Todd removed her from the game room.â Damian says simply. Bruce sighs, pinching his nose.Â
âWhat was it this time?â He asks, shaking his head. It never seemed to fail. Every time Marinette came to stay, she and Damian found something new to fight about. It never lasted for long, but heâd come to accept it as an undeniable truth. The sky was blue. Grass was green. Damian and Marinette argued. Simple.Â
âI hardly see how that-â
âThey were fighting over me.â Jon blurts out. Bruce raises an eyebrow.Â
âExcuse me?âÂ
âWell, Iâm friends with Damian now, too. And so he was mad when Mari was trying to hug me, and then she yelled back at him since we were friends first and I tried to stop them but they kept fighting so Jason and Dick made them split up and then I didnât get to say anything else to Mari and so she probably hates me now.â Jon rambles, eyes wide as his lower lip trembles. Bruce resists the urge to groan. Of course they were fighting over Jon.Â
âShall I go get Miss Marinette from her room?â Alfred asks.Â
âNo, Iâll get her. Damian, tomorrow weâre going to have a talk about friends. And the fact that multiple people can be friends with the same person.â Bruce says firmly, heading towards his youngest daughterâs room. He knocks.Â
âMari? Sweetie, itâs time for dinner.â Bruce says. He frowns when she doesnât answer. âMari?â He calls, knocking again. Bruce purses his lips. Perhaps she fell asleep? He knocks one more time before gently pushing the door open. He doesnât panic at the empty room. Heâs completely calm and collected. The paper that catches his eye on her desk, the letter letting him know that sheâd be back the next day and not to worry- thatâs what makes him panic. Flashbacks of five years ago. An empty bedroom. A note. A crumpled form in the middle of an explosion. Steadying his breath, he rushes downstairs. He wouldnât go through that again. He couldnât.Â
âMaster Bruce-â
âMarinetteâs gone.â He says, clutching the note like a lifeline.Â
âWhat?â Jon squeaks out, his eyes wide. Bruce turns to Dick.Â
âWe have to find her. Dick, will you call Jason? The rest of us will head to the cave. Everyone needs to be on comms and suited up in twenty minutes.â Bruce instructs. And not even the familiar feeling of directing a mission can bring him calm. Not while his daughter is missing.Â
---
Marinette sips her chocolate milk, shaking her head at the tv.Â
âYou know, sometimes I wonder how Jo and Amy are able to like each other again after all the times they kinda suck and are kinda awful towards each other.â She says. Jason raises an eyebrow.Â
âYeah?â He asks. She nods.Â
âYeah. But then I remember all the times that we all fight, and I kinda get it.â She sighs. Jason snorts, shaking his head. The landline rings and Jason reaches over and grabs it.Â
âHello.â He says simply. Marinette looks away from the movie, instead watching her brotherâs face as shock quickly covers it. âWhat? No- I- Dick, shut the hell up and breathe. Sheâs fine. No, she is. Sheâs with me. Well- I- I thought B knew. Yeah. Mmhmm. Call the calvary back, sheâs fine. Sheâll be back tomorrow morning after breakfast. Because I promised Iâd make pancakes. No, not for you Dickhead. Uh huh. Bye.â Marinette quickly turns her attention back to the movie, hoping he doesnât try to talk to her about it.Â
âI wonder if I could wear a dress like that to the next gala.â Marinette muses, hoping itâll be enough to change the subject. Instead, the movie pauses and Marinette sighs.Â
âSo. Are we going to talk about this? Or am I just going to give you a little lecture?â Jason asks. Marinette pouts.Â
âWhy do we have to do either? Why canât we just finish watching the movie?â She asks. Jason lets out a long breath.Â
âDo you remember when I died?â He asks bluntly. Marinette flinches back, looking at her older brother with wide eyes. He winces. âSorry, kid. But I promise itâs important.â Marinette frowns, eyebrows scrunching together.Â
âWell. Yeah, I- I kind of remember it. Itâs not super clear, butâŚI remember.â She says, pushing down the wave of sadness that wells up inside her. It was one of the hardest times of her entire life.Â
âI donât know how much you remember of that time, but I ran away first. I was determined to figure out who my birth mom was, so I left. And do you know what I did?â He asks. Marinette shakes her head. âI left a note. I didnât tell anyone I was leaving, not even Alfred. I just left a note. And we both know how that ended up.â He says. Marinetteâs eyes widen.Â
âThatâs what I did to dad. I just left a note- I thought- I didnât want him to tell me I couldnât go. I didnât think it would-â She stops, trying hard to stop her tears. Jason opens his arms and she throws herself at him, crying. âIâm sorry.â She says.Â
âItâs fine, kiddo. I know the whole Jon and Damian thing really upset you. But- and Iâm gonna sound like a fu-freaking hypocrite here- but youâve gotta communicate.â Jason says. Marinette sniffles, and leans back.Â
âDo you think dadâs gonna be really mad at me?â She asks timidly. Jason shakes his head.Â
âNo, kid, I donât think he will. I think heâll be too relieved to be mad.â He says. Marinette starts to respond, but a tap on the window makes her jump instead. Jason immediately leaps off the couch and heads for the window. âOf freaking course.â He huffs before throwing the window open. Marinette frowns, until a familiar person steps in and her eyes widen.Â
âMari!â Jon calls, running over and giving her a big hug. Marinette blinks a few times, before she relaxes and returns the hug.Â
âWhatâre you doing here?â She asks once he pulls away.Â
âYeah. Iâd also like to know.â Jason says, walking over and crossing his arms. Jon laughs awkwardly before reaching back and scratching the back of his neck.Â
âI uh, I was worried about you.â He says. Marinette feels a smile creep onto her face.Â
âReally?â She asks. He nods.Â
âCourse I was. Youâre one of my best friends.â He says. She raises her eyebrows. âYeah, uh, I already told Damian that people can have more than one best friend. I think your dadâs gonna talk to him more about it tomorrow, but I didnât wanna stop being your friend.â He says.Â
âStill best friends forever?â She asks, holding out a pinky. Jon grins and links his pinky with hers.Â
âForever and ever.â He says simply. And he was right.Â
When Marinette and Jon get married fifteen years later, it surprises no one.

What Makes a Family? Pt27
Beginning  Previous Next
Marinette walked down the stairs to find Cass scowling at Bruce and signing rapidly. Selina was whispering with her Maman, who looked far too amused, so Cass had to be laying into him pretty hard. Damian was looking on in confusion, but the other boys were nodding along with whatever her twin was saying. She really needed to have Cass teach her to sign. Chloe appeared next to her.
"I'm actually learning new terms. You sister is extremely creative with swearing." Of course, that would be what impressed Chloe. Mari had to wonder how much of it was just not knowing common terms, so she made up her own.
"I don't want to mess up her relationship with him." Chloe scoffed.
"Given the way the others are reacting, this isn't the first, or worst, of his overstepping. I'm thinking this is a long overdue rant."
"You did what when I was with Babs?" Dick's indignant shout startled most of the room. "Yeah, I'm never bringing anyone home ever again. Not unless I've been married for two years." Mari sent Chloe a questioning glance.
"Trust me, you don't want to know." Yeah, if Chloe was saying that... she really didn't want to know.
"You've never known when to butt out, old man. The difference this time is that you don't have any right to butt in in the first place." Jason's tone was downright hostile.
"She's my daughter."
"A biological connection doesn't mean you own me. I'll be eighteen in three months anyway and I'm completely financially independent, so if you want any type of relationship with me, it's going to be on my terms, Mr. Wayne. Those terms will include not interfering in my relationships with others, romantic or otherwise, and not telling me how I'm allowed to live my life." He looked like he was going to argue, but Cass signed at him before standing beside Mari. He looked at the boys for help, but the only one not glaring at him was Damian.
"Marinette, you're young. You have no idea the danger-"
"Do not pretend you know anything about me or my life, let alone what I do and do not know. I assure you, I know what I'm doing, and Luka and Kagami are not a threat or a problem. If you can't accept that, then you can leave." She hadn't wanted to get to this point so soon, especially since it put Cass's ability to stay in question. Unfortunately, she also wasn't willing to set a precedent with him by letting him think he could act this way with her. She'd been around enough powerful people to know that if she didn't set boundaries now, she'd never be able to enforce them. Jagged was proof of that.
"Perhaps we should discuss this privately." No way was that happening. She could almost see the hero lecture waiting to burst out of him.
"After what you just tried to pull, and your apparent history of browbeating your kids into things, we're not about to let that happen." Tom's voice was harder than she'd ever heard it. "If you won't respect my daughter's boundaries, you'll be asked to leave." The emphasis he put on 'my daughter' caused Bruce to flinch. She would feel worse about it if not for the fact that all her siblings, besides Damian, seemed to approve of it.
"I think we should separate for the time being, and try this again later. Tempers are high, so we all need space to calm down." Sabine sounded cheerful enough, but there was a hard edge to her words that everyone caught. As much as Mari thought it was a good idea, they were in a bit of a time crunch.
"Given that they're only going to be here for a week, it might be best to get things settled. But, if Bruce isn't willing to compromise, there's not much point in continuing this discussion." She could hear how tired she sounded and given the concerned looks at her and glares at Bruce, everyone else could, too.
"By compromise you mean letting you decide everything." The sulkiness in Bruce's voice made her roll her eyes. Yes, this had to suck for him, but he couldn't honestly expect her to let him just take over her life.
"No, but there are going to be things that aren't negotiable. I'm not going to tell you how to live your life, and I'd appreciate the same courtesy. We know next to nothing about eachother, and until we do it's not really fair to have an opinion on each other's lives." He didn't seem to know what to do with that. She was sure that, for a man used to being in charge, it wasn't something he had experience with. "I want to get to know you, all of you, but I'm not going to change who I am or how I live my life to do it. If you can't accept that, you can leave."
Cass hugged her from behind, and Mari could feel her twin glaring at Bruce. As much as she had hoped it wouldn't be necessary, it was obvious who Cass would side with in this. Of the boys, Jason seemed firmly entrenched on her side, Dick and Tim were more of a neutral, and Damian just seemed confused, but he'd most likely side with Bruce for the time being. Hopefully, it wouldn't destroy her chance of getting to know him permanently. When it became obvious Bruce either couldn't or wouldn't back down, Selina went over to start whispering in his ear. Alfred had been scarily silent through everything, and Mari really wasn't certain what to make of it.
"You need my help." Selina rolled her eyes, and Alfred just shook his head. The man really needed to learn when to back down.
"I need Cass. That's it." He flinched, and even the boys were trading looks. Bruce was closing off. She could see it. "I need to show Cass her new school. Why don't you take the evening to think things over? We can try this again tomorrow when everyone is calmer." Bruce looked about ready to explode.
"That sounds like a good idea. Master Bruce, we should head back to the hotel." The glare Bruce sent Alfred didn't phase the man at all. The stern look he sent back had the boys looking like they were ready to wet themselves.
"Fine." Bruce signed something at Cass and she felt her twin stiffen up behind her. Chloe looked like she was about to start screaming at him, too.
"Miss Cassandra will be staying with Miss Marinette. Indefinately." Alfred's tone was frigid and just about everyone seemed to be cowering or eyeing the man like he was going to explode. Even Bruce hunched in on himself a tiny bit. "Now we really should be on our way."
Mari had a feeling Alfred was going to be having a long conversation with Bruce. She just hoped it had the desired outcome. The man obviously had control issues, and she couldn't afford to have him try to take over her life. She had a feeling she was already going to have a major issue with Batman trying to step on her toes once he actually went through an Akuma attack. She couldn't count on there not being one before he and the others went home. Not to mention, if she'd heard right, he could just use some tech the Justice League had to teleport back at any time. She'd have to ask Cass about that, too.
Selina practically pushed Bruce out the door, while the boys followed under Alfred's gaze. Before going joining the rest, Jason shoved a piece of paper in her hand with a wink. She had a feeling he was one brother she could count on not to run to Bruce with information.
Once they were all out of the door, Mari felt herself relax. She felt terrible that things had gone downhill so quickly, but there really wasn't another option at this point. She couldn't afford to show weakness. There was far too much at stake, both in her personal life and as a hero. Cass tightened her hold on Mari.
"He needs time. He'll calm down."
"Unfortunately, time isn't something we have right now. If this doesn't get better, I'm going to have to force him to leave Paris before Hawkmoth is back in fighting form." She didn't even want to think about how much that would piss him off. She had a feeling Batman's ego wouldn't take too well to being thrown out of a city by another hero. Alfred and Selina would take her side... at least she thought so.
"Alfred will make things right." She wasn't quite sure what Cass meant by that, but she hoped she was right. She opened the paper that Jason handed her and heard Cass giggle behind her.
If you need someone to help you hassle B, give me a shout. ~Jason
It had five phone numbers on it. If she didn't know his 'occupation', it would seem excessive. It did mean she had at least one of her brothers on her side when it came to Bruce though. Whether that was a good thing or not was yet to be determined.
"Why don't we head over to the school? There are a few clubs meeting, so I know the building is open. That way, you can get a feel for the layout before tomorrow." She knew it would stress Cass out if they didn't scope out the building. It was going to be bad enough being around so many new people.
"You don't want to eat first?" Given the looks her Maman was shooting at the door, she was more worried about them running into Bruce than the actual food, but it was a good idea anyway.
"Of course, Maman. We wouldn't want it to go to waste." Especially since she made enough to feed the whole city again. Maybe she should text Jason and see if he wanted to meet them at the school and they could bring him some. "Maybe we could take some to go as well. I wanted to show Cass the houseboat, and if it's late enough, we might stay there." It wasn't a lie, just not the whole truth.
"Probably a good idea. It'll give your father and I time to talk to Bruce should he decide to come looking for you." She really hoped he didn't. Her Maman might actually kill him. She would text Selina or Alfred to make sure he didn't come over, but she had a feeling that would have the opposite effect she was looking for. After they ate and while her Maman was boxing up food, her Papa motioned her out into the hallway.
"What's wrong?" She heard the panic in her own voice and her Papa winced.
"Nothing's wrong. I didn't mean to worry you. I just wanted to make sure you were handling everything alright. I know things have been tense, and you tend to overthink everything without letting anyone know." She leaned forward slightly, and that's all it took for him to envelop her in a hug. Her Papa gave the best hugs.
"What if he makes her go back?" She knew it was an irrational thought, but it wouldn't go away. Her Papa hugged her tighter.
"That's not going to happen. We won't let it, and more importantly, Cass won't let it. I truly don't believe there's a force strong enough to separate the two of you. And if there is, Plagg will get rid of it." Marinette started giggling and couldn't stop. It was a little disturbing that she found the image of Plagg getting rid or Bruce amusing, but she was willing to chalk it up to stress.
