Response from HR

They reassured her that they had scouted the company out just as thoroughly as she had taught them to, and so their shouldn't be any problems. And there wasn't! At least... Not until her Boss and his family decided to keep hovering over her 24/7, with one son acting like an overprotective brother, and another son constantly showing up and clinging to her(he had no right to have such a pretty face!!!). o0oOo0o PART 2!

Taking Chances Ch. 26: Illusions (Dance)
AO3
Prev
Marinette quickly decides she hates the punishment. The grounding. It sucks not being allowed to go on patrol with her family. Luckily, Adrien came back to Paris the day after she was grounded, so she didn’t have to take any of her family to Paris. Which she was thankful for, because as much as she loved them, she also doubted they’d be able to control their emotions long enough. 
“Hey kiddo, we’re about to head out to patrol. Do you need anything?” Dick asks, sticking his head into her room. He’d been extremely nice since she got benched, not that he was ever anything but nice. But he’d also been acting like another dad, checking in on her, making dad jokes, the works. It helped since her own dad was currently still mad at her for blocking him from Paris. 
“To patrol with you guys.” She says with a hopeful smile. Dick sighs, shaking his head. 
“You know I can’t do that Mari. B’s the one who has to say you’re allowed back. I’m sorry kid.” Dick says. Marinette frowns. 
“It’s fine. I’ll just stay here and draw or something.” She says, flopping back down on her bed. She can tell Dick hesitates, as if he wants to say something else, but then he’s gone. And she’s alone. Again. 
“Marinette, are you okay?” Tikki asks, flying over and landing next to her head. 
“It’s been four days, Tikki. Four days. How much longer is he gonna have me benched? If the akuma was bad, I would’ve brought in Kagami or Luka.” She rambles, covering her face with her hands. She was restless, which was making her anxious. She wanted to do something. She didn’t want to be stuck at home. And sure, she could train in the gym here, but her mind wouldn’t be in it. She’d be worried about her family the whole time. 
“Well...maybe it’s time for you to be ungrounded.” Tikki says slowly. Marinette pulls her hands from her face and blinks at her friend. 
“Are you...are you ungrounding me?” She asks. Because yes, her dad had grounded her. But Tikki had agreed with the punishment. And while sneaking around the world’s greatest detective would be hard, she was willing to do it. Going against the goddess of creation? Not so much. 
“If you bring Trixx, you’ll be able to be invisible when you’re around your family.” Tikki suggests and Marinette grins. 
“Plagg’s rubbing off on you, isn’t he?” She teases. Tikki huffs. 
“Not at all. I just don’t like seeing you upset, Marinette.” She says and Marinette smiles. 
“Thank you, Tikki.” She says, going over to the Miracle Box and pulling out Trixx’ necklace. She puts it on and grins at the small fox. 
“Hiya Guardian! What’s goin’ on?” Trixx asks with a wide smile. 
“Tikki suggested I bring you on patrol so I can be invisible. Whaddya say Trixx, ready to cause some mischief?” Marinette asks. Trixx smirks. 
“Obviously!” He cheers. Marinette grins. Let the fun begin.
---
Marinette sticks close to her family, using Mirage to make herself invisible. It was weird, following her family and not being able to hear them (she hadn’t wanted to take a comm in case she messed up and talked, she’d be in real trouble then). But it was also funny, watching her dad tense if she got too close. He could definitely tell that something funny was going on, but she was determined to not let him figure her out. The beeping from Trixx’ necklace makes her huff. She’d have to go hide and recharge, but it was fine. Trixx had already told her that he was having fun messing with her family, so she knew he’d be willing to keep going for a little while longer. Dashing behind one of the air conditioning units on the roof, she lets Trixx’ Mirage drop, passing him a handful of berries. 
“Take your time Trixx, they won’t get far.” Marinette reassures him, smiling at him as he grabs the berries from her. She leans up against the unit, taking a minute to just relax. 
“Well, well, well. Looks like the little bug strayed from her birds.” A familiar voice drawls out. Marinette stiffens, not turning. 
“Trixx, go. Find the others.” She commands, ripping the necklace off and passing it to Trixx. He immediately zips away and she whirls around, just in time to jump back and avoid the sword coming at her. 
“You have more than one Miraculous? How interesting. You know, Damian stopped us from talking last time. I’d love to...chat.” Slade says, pulling his sword back. She can’t see his face, but she can hear the smirk in his voice. Marinette grits her teeth, remembering the last time she’d seen the man. The scar she had on her shoulder. 
“I’d rather not. No offense, but you don’t seem like a great conversationalist.” She snarks, her entire body tense as she stays poised to fight. She glances around, trying to find an escape route that would get her as far away from him as possible. And quick.
“You’re not actually thinking of running, are you? You have no backup. I’ve been watching the Bats tonight. No one knows you’re even here.” He says, stepping closer so that he’s almost blocked her in. She feels her breathing quicken as she starts to panic slightly. She’d only escaped last time because of her family. They’d fought him off after he got ahold of her. He’s far stronger than her, she has to stay out of his reach. She takes a deep breath, staring the man down and schooling her features into a neutral mask. She refused to give him the satisfaction of seeing her distressed. 
“I never run from a fight.” She lies, throwing her yoyo out to wrap around the handle of the man’s sword, tugging as she throws her weight to his left. The clanking of the sword as it bounces off the roof makes her grin, and she quickly tugs the yoyo, grabbing the sword by its handle and twirling it around slightly, planting her feet in her new position. She’d managed to move so that she was no longer blocked between Slade and the air conditioning unit. 
“Oh sweetheart, you can’t possibly beat me.” He says, shaking his head as he walks towards her, pulling his second sword off his back. 
“Don’t underestimate me.” She snaps, holding up the sword and preparing herself to fight back. He sighs, as if he’s disappointed in her, before lunging forward, bringing his sword up for an attack. She holds up her own sword, blocking his strike. It was much different than the fencing foil she’d used a few times back in Paris, much heavier. She grits her teeth as he pushes down with the sword, obviously trying to overpower her. She holds for another moment before jumping back, jerking her sword away. The sudden change in force makes him stumble forwards and let out a growl. He continues to lunge towards her as she dances back and forth, trying to avoid fighting him too much. He’d definitely overpower her if she let him get too close. 
“I’d rather do this the easy way, darling, but if you’re really going to make me do this the hard way we can.” He threatens, twirling the sword around before charging her again. She let out a gasp, jumping back again, her foot slipping as she was much closer to the edge of the roof than she expected. She falls, managing to grab the roof with her open hand, the sword now dangling at her side. She had two options. She could let go of the sword and use her yoyo to swing away, or she could try and let go of the roof and shoot out her yoyo quick enough to avoid splatting on the ground. She quickly makes her decision, dropping the sword into the dumpster below her and yanking out her yoyo to attempt to swing away. 
“No!” She yells, as Slade grabs her hand from the roof, tugging her towards him before she can swing away. She struggles against him, kicking at him, throwing her elbows around wildly. She had to get out of his hold. 
“Did you really think that would work?” He asks, as he pins her to chest. She continues struggling in his grasp, not willing to give up yet.
“Thought I’d try it.” She huffs. 
“Sure you did sweetheart. Now, I’ll be taking these.” Slade says, reaching for her earrings. He touches them and hisses in pain, Marinette also hissing in shock. They’d heated up when he grabbed them, almost like they were trying to burn him. Unfortunately for Marinette, they were still on her ears. Which meant she also got burned. 
“What the hell was that?” He hisses, whirling her around to face her, continuing to hold her arms down. She continues to struggle while glaring at the man. 
“Apparently the earrings don’t want you either.” She snaps. 
“Guess I’ll just have to take you with me.” He says and her eyes widen in panic. No. Nope. Not a secondary location, she’d watched enough true crime shows and listened to Tim rant about cold cases enough to know what a secondary location meant. It meant death. And she was not about to die again, especially not somewhere she couldn’t use the Cure. A hard blow to the back of her head makes her vision go black as she quickly slips into unconsciousness. 
---
Dick Grayson was not expecting to see a tiny floating fox on patrol. He was definitely not expecting said tiny fox to be carrying a necklace and rambling worriedly.
“Whoa, whoa, calm down buddy. What’s wrong?” Dick asks, smiling at them. They were similar to Plagg, the tiny floating black cat that had hung around the day Marinette was a toddler. 
“It’s the Guardian! She needs help. A man with a mask and swords found her and she doesn’t have any backup.” They ramble, a terrified look on their face. Dick frowns. 
“Who?” He asks, not quite sure why the fox has chosen him. 
“Marinette!” They cry, and Dick freezes. “Tikki told her she could be ungrounded and so we were following you guys, but then she had to stop and the man found her. Please, help her!” 
“Lead the way.” He says, whirling on his heel and following the little creature as it zips through the city. He follows them all the way to a roof, frowning when the fox pauses and looks around, clear panic on their face. 
“They were here. She was here.” They mumble, twisting in circles and looking around. They start zipping forward again, and Dick has to rush to follow. Hopefully they’d spotted Marinette. And whoever the guy was. As he follows the fox, he frowns when he spots a figure carrying something over their shoulder. Something limp- He pushes forward, going faster than the fox as he attempts to catch up. The second the figure lands on a roof, he whips out his escrima sticks, whacking the man across the back of his legs. The man stumbles, spinning around and glaring at Dick. 
“Nightwing, wasn’t expecting to see you.” Slade growls. Dick narrows his eyes. 
“Drop the girl, Slade.” He demands. Slade lets out a humorless laugh. 
“I’ve been trying to get to her for weeks, do you really think I’m going to let go of her that easily?” He asks. 
“I think if you know what’s good for you, you’ll set her down and get the hell out of Gotham.” Dick says. 
“Nightwing, who is it?” Damian’s voice rings through the comm. Dick’s relieved that he was on the duo’s channel rather than the group channel. If he could get Marinette home before B noticed, maybe his baby sister wouldn’t get in more trouble. 
“I don’t think you understand the importance of her earrings.” Slade counters, obviously preparing to fight his way out. 
“I don’t care how important you think they are, Slade. Put her down and get out of the city.” He says, watching the older man’s body language to try and anticipate the attack. He hears Damian curse in his ear, and he resists the urge to reprimand him. 
“How about no.” Slade quips, tossing Marinette to the side of the roof and charging at him in one fluid motion. Dick sees red as he watches Marinette get tossed aside so carelessly, her head bouncing off the roof. He uses one of his escrima sticks to counter the blows from the other man’s sword, using his other to whack the man’s shoulder. The two circle each other, each taking turns to start the attack. Slade may be motivated by his want for the earrings, but Dick was fighting for his sister. Losing wasn’t an option for Dick, not when one of his siblings was in danger. 
“I believe Nightwing told you to leave.” Damian calls, bursting into the fight. Slade turns back towards Marinette, and just as Dick’s about to lunge for him- she disappears. Completely. Gone from sight. He begins to panic slightly. Where did she go? What happened to her? The cry from Slade breaks his concentration from where his sister just disappeared into thin air. He glances back at the man, unsurprised to see Damian’s sword through the older man’s side. As much as he wants to see Slade suffer, he knows Damian would be in trouble later if he actually killed the older man. “Robin.” Dick calls, hoping to ground his little brother before he did something he would regret. Damian scowls, stepping away from Slade. Dick turns his attention to the man, who was now disarmed and bleeding profusely. Not much of a threat. “Get the hell out of this city. Don’t let us see you here again Slade.” He snaps, unsurprised as the man turns and rushes away. The man was a coward. His biggest enemy was a twelve year old boy who had done nothing but be born. Gritting his teeth, Dick takes a deep breath. No need to let his anger get the best of him. He immediately starts to panic when he remembers Marinette disappearing. Just as he’s about to call it in, her limp form shimmers back into view. He rushes over to her, glancing momentarily at the floating fox next to her. 
“I can do mirages. Hopefully I controlled it enough not to make chaos anywhere, but-” They stop, glancing at Marinette. “But I had to do something.”
“Thank you.” Dick says softly, picking up Marinette and holding her close to his chest. 
“Should I alert Father?” Damian asks. Dick turns to look at him, noticing how tense the younger boy looks. He weighs his options. He could take her back to the manor and let her get into even more trouble with Bruce. Or, he could take her to his apartment and try to convince Bruce that she’d been there all night. 
“Let’s not. She’ll just be benched for even longer, and obviously trying to keep her from patrols isn’t going to end well for us.” Dick says, frowning at her limp form. Damian tenses, but nods. “I will continue patrol while you take her to a safe location. I expect an update once she is awake. You should stay with her, Slade has obviously become obsessed with her.” Damian says, and Dick nods.
“Thank you, Robin. I know you don’t like going against him, but…..” Dick trails off, looking at Marinette and how tiny she looked right now. Damian nods. 
“She’s family as well. I did not agree with her punishment, I will not aid in it being lengthened.” He says before swinging away. Dick just smiles softly, shaking his head at his youngest brother. That was probably as close as he’d get to admitting he loved Marinette. But it was clear, in his actions, that he did care about her. Just as he cared about their other brothers, no matter how much he denied it. Sighing, Dick adjusts Marinette in his arms before grappling towards his apartment. This was going to be a long night. 
---
Marinette wakes up and immediately groans at the light in the room. Almost immediately, the light disappears, as if someone flipped a switch. 
“Hey kiddo.” A soft voice says. She sits up and winces, holding a hand against her head. She blinks, her eyes adjusting as she glances around the unfamiliar space. 
“Dick?” She says, confused. Where were they? What happened?
“You’re okay kid, we’re at my apartment. It’s where I live when Kori and Mari are in town. Slade got you, almost got away with you too. But your little fox friend found me and I was able to get there in time. Try and drink a little water, I need to call Damian and let him know you’re awake.” He says and she starts to panic. Did their dad also know? Was she in more trouble? Was- “Marinette, you gotta breathe. Damian and I are the only ones who know you snuck out. Neither of us wanna tell B, cause then you’d just be sneaking on patrol even longer and that’s dangerous. But I’m not gonna lecture you right now. So just take a breath. That’s it kid, you’re okay.” He soothes, breathing with her for several counts. She nods once she’s calmed down, and he grins at her before walking away to make the call. She picks up the water, sipping on it and trying to ignore the pounding in her head. Instead, she glances around the apartment, smiling softly at the pictures. She’d found out about her sister in law and niece not that long ago. They were apparently off planet right now, but she had hope that they would be back before the summer was over so she could meet them. A sudden wave of nausea hits her and she groans, laying back against the couch. She huffs in frustration when she realizes she likely has a concussion.
“When I said you were ungrounded, I didn’t mean for you to fight the man that stabbed you on your first trip to Gotham.” Tikki complains, flying up and staring straight into her eyes. Marinette groans, squeezing her eyes shut and pouting. 
“I didn’t mean to.” She reminds the Kwami, opening an eye to peek at her. 
“Didn’t mean to.” She mumbles before letting out an uncharacteristic huff. “Next time tell one of your brothers, please Marinette. Even if you’re sneaking out. I’m sure they could figure out a way to be in communication with you without letting your dad know. It would make me feel better knowing that you have backup from the start.” Tikki says, her worry clear on her small face. 
“I will, don’t worry Tikki.” Marinette says with a sigh. She could hold her own against a normal criminal, or an akumatized villain. But it wasn’t easy fighting against a man more than twice her size who was obviously highly trained. 
“B thinks you came over here before patrol, so your cover is safe.” Dick says, walking back into the living room. Marinette smiles weakly at him, fully expecting a lecture now that he’s off the phone. Dick sits on the arm of the chair next to the couch, looking at her worriedly. “Think you have a concussion?” He asks. She blinks, but nods slowly. He walks away and comes back a moment later with some painkillers, passing them to her. She takes them, hoping that they’ll start working sooner than later as the dull pounding in her head has escalated since waking up. 
“Are you gonna yell at me?” She asks quietly, not looking at him. 
“No, Marinette, I’m not gonna yell at you.” He says, and she looks at him, frowning. 
“Why? I knew I was benched. And I still went out, and I didn’t tell anyone.” She says, confused as to why he wasn’t yelling. Her dad hadn’t yelled at her after she got stabbed, just flat out refused to let her patrol. But he’d yelled at her after the Watchtower thing. And the stealing the Batmobile thing. And the whole keeping him from getting to Paris thing. And the fighting an akuma alone thing. 
“You know that you messed up, why would I yell at you? You know, and now next time, you’ll do it differently. You’ll be better and learn from this mistake. I’m not gonna yell at you for secretly going on patrol ‘cause I’d be a hypocrite. Was I scared to death when I realized the limp thing on Slade’s shoulder was you? Yes. God, yes, I was terrified. But you’re here and you’re fine. So instead of yelling, you’re gonna stay here tonight and I’m gonna make sure I don’t need to take you to Alfred for the concussion.” Dick says with a small smile. Marinette smiles at her brother, relieved. 
“Are you gonna tell dad?” She asks. Even though he doesn’t know yet, she knows that there’s still a chance of Dick telling him. 
“No, but can you do something for me?” He asks. She nods. “Next time you wanna sneak out without B knowing, could you tell me or Jay? Please? Just so we know to check in on you. We’re not gonna follow you or anything, but it’d be nice to know that one of us needs to check in and make sure you’re okay.” He says. She quirks an eyebrow in surprise. He wasn’t going to follow her?
“Really?” She asks, he nods. 
“I know that sometimes you just need a break. Trust me, I get it. I understand that B can be….overbearing.” Dick says with a sigh. Marinette nods in agreement, sitting back slightly and letting out a yawn. Just as her eyes are about to close, there’s a snap in front of her face. 
“What?” She groans, frowning at her brother. 
“Can’t go to sleep yet kiddo. You clearly have a concussion, so I’m gonna need you to stay awake for a couple hours just to make sure your symptoms stay on the mild side.” He says. She frowns and is about to argue when the front door opens. Dick immediately jumps up and stands in front of her, but relaxes almost as quickly. 
“Daddy!” The little girl, who Marinette realizes must be Mar’i, squeals, flying straight at Dick. Marinette blinks. Her niece could fly. That’s awesome! But would definitely throw a new challenge in when she babysits the girl. 
“Who is this?” The woman, who was taller than Dick and drop dead gorgeous, asks, a small smile on her face. Marinette grins, waving from the couch. 
“Hey, I’m Marinette. Dick’s newest sister.” She says. The woman, Kori, sighs, a smile on her face as she shakes her head. 
“He adopted another?” She asks Dick. He snorts, shaking his head as he holds his daughter close. 
“Nope, she’s his actual daughter. Little D took it surprisingly well.” Dick says. 
“So she’s my aunt?” Mar’i asks, peeking over Dick’s shoulder. 
“Yup! I’m so glad to finally meet you Mar’i.” Marinette says with a small smile, dizziness hitting her again randomly. She shuts her eyes, trying to ground herself. 
“Oh, nope, sorry honey. Aunt Marinette has a bit of a headache right now, you’ll have to be easy with her.” She hears Dick say, probably stopping Mar’i from launching herself at her. 
“Can we play ballerina?” Mar’i asks, and Marinette forces herself to open her eyes and look at the girl. Her heart melts at the little pout on the girl’s face and Marinette already knows that this girl is going to have her wrapped around her finger, just like Manon. 
“Sweetie-” Dick starts, but Marinette cuts him off. 
“Why don’t you show me your ballerina moves tonight, and then tomorrow once I’m feeling better, we can play ballerina together?” She suggests, grinning at the look on her niece’s face. 
“Yes, yes, yes!” She squeals, launching herself from Dick’s arms and flying to a different room. 
“Marinette-” Dick starts with a sigh, an unimpressed look on his face. 
“I’ll help her.” Tikki speaks up, flying to be eye level with Dick. “I can’t heal her completely, but I can heal her partially just as I did when Slade stabbed her. But I do have to warn you, if he tries to hurt my Bug again, I will let him see that there is a fate worse than death.” Marinette blinks in surprise at the complete and total rage radiating from her usual cheery friend. She watches as Dick nods in agreement. 
“Better you than me. Bruce can’t yell at you.” He says in an even tone. Marinette’s jaw drops. That was...surprisingly violent for her usually cheery brother. Before she can question him, Mar’i flies back into the room in a pale pink tutu. 
“Ready to see my dances?” She asks, grinning widely. Marinette nods, settling in to spend some time with her newest family members, plans of a new ballet outfit for Mar’i already dancing through her head.

Day 1: Plant
Description: Mar’i and Marinette have fun in the garden.
I’m doing a self-imposed 30 Day creative challenge where I take a prompt and apply it to Daminette! Hope y’all enjoy!
Tumblr media
Marinette’s hair was wreathed with a crown of flowers, stems twisted into braids with her dark raven hair. Marinette walked across the garden of the Wayne Estate, Mar’i laughing and giggling as she followed after her.
“You look so pretty Miss Netty!” Mar’i said. Marinette smiled and leaned down to Mar’i’s height, taking note of her own crown of flowers nestled in the half-Tameran’s hair.
“Not as pretty as you, ma petite-fours,” Marinette replied. Mar’i smiled a dazzling smile and floated just a little off the ground at the compliment, eyes a bright green that was electric to see.
Marinette had been designated as Mar’i’s babysitter for the day, given how busy the rest of the Wayne family was. Not that Marinette really minded – Mar’i was a ray of sunshine, so sweet and kind that it was infectious. Watching after her felt more like a reward than a job, getting to for a few hours relive her own childhood and be a flower princess in the backyard.
Mar’i crooked her head to the side. “What does that mean?”
“It’s a special cake,” Marinette explained. “It’s a small pastry, with frosting and sometimes fruit. We eat them in France.” She booped Mar’i’s nose and the little girl wrinkled her nose with a slight giggle. “They’re adorable, much like you.”
Mar’i smiled and flew across the yard, landing right next to a rose bush. Marinette followed after her and picked a flower off of the bush. She brushed aside part of Mar’i’s hair, pushing the rose behind her ear, creating yet another addition to the flowers decorating Mar’i’s raven and purple hair.
“Beautiful,” Marinette encouraged, and the girl blushed. Then the girl brightened and jumped up and down excitedly.
“We can be flower princesses,” Mar’i decided. Marinette smiled and took Mar’i’s hand, squeezing it gently.
“That sounds like a great idea,” Marinette said. Mar’i brushed her khaki pants and frowned, and looked up at Marinette gravely.
“But we don’t have any dresses!” Mar’i said gravely. Marinette caressed her cheek gently and grinned.
“You don’t need a dress to be a princess,” Marinette whispered. Mar’i looked at her skeptically, as if Marinette had just said something almost too unbelievable to be true.
“You don’t?” Mar’i asked. Marinette nodded and put a hand on her heart.
“No, you don’t,” Marinette assured. “All you need is to be honest and kind and brave.”
Mar’i’s eyes widened, and she leaned toward Marinette, looking around wildly as if the secret she was about to share was of upmost importance.
“Mommy says you have to be all that to be a superhero,” Mar’i said. “Does that make princesses secret superheroes?”
Marinette brought a finger to her lips and pretended to think deeply about the issue. She then pursed her lips and shrugged.
“I guess so,” Marinette answered. Mar’i smiled wickedly and floated off of the ground, spinning round and round excitedly.
“That means Mommy is a princess!” Mar’i exclaimed. “And you’re a princess too!”
Marinette laughed. Marinette supposed that would make sense as part of the logic of superheroes and princesses they had decided on. Marinette had once upon a time dreamed of being a princess, almost every little girl did. This had been the period right before she decided she wanted to be the knitting fairy, but that didn’t mean the dream still hadn’t been strong.
“And you too,” Marinette pointed out. Mar’i frowned and turned to Marinette, crossing her arms in confusion.
“But I’m not a superhero,” Mar’i replied. Marinette smiled and booped her nose again, causing the six-year-old to giggle just a little before she returned to her confused frown.
“But you’re smart, and kind, and honest, and brave,” Marinette explained. “There are lots of ways to be a hero. You always share your toys, and you help your friends when they’re sad, right?”
Mar’i nodded, unsurely.
“Well, that makes you an everyday hero,” Marinette said. “And those are just as important as any superhero. Maybe even more.”
Mar’i was silent, and then she broke out into a large smile.
“I’m a princess!”
“Of course, you are, dove.” Mar’i looked up to see her father coming towards her in the Gotham sunset, cast into an orange glow. Dick walked towards them, and Mar’i rushed him, wrapping her arms around his chest into a large hug.
Marinette smiled and rose back to full standing, catching sight of Damian over Dick’s shoulder. Damian was wearing his Gotham Academy uniform, frowning slightly as he always did, before his eyes lit up just a little when they met Marinette’s. Damian was just finishing up his final year of schooling at Gotham Academy, and Bruce had offered to enroll Marinette in the school, but she had simply gotten an American GED and resolved to one day go back to French university one day. When she was ready to go back home, when the wounds were less fresh.
“Daddy, Miss Netty says I’m a princess!” Mar’i excitedly said. Dick smiled and looked over at Marinette, taking in their two flower crowns.
“Why did she say that?” Dick asked. Mar’i clapped her hands together.
“Because I’m smart and kind and brave,” Mar’i explained. Then she looked up at her father, conspiratorially. “She also says superheroes are princesses too!”
Dick rose an eyebrow. “Really?”
“Yeah, because they’re smart and kind and honest and brave!” Mar’i listed off, slightly out of breath. Marinette smiled and walked over to her boyfriend, placing a kiss to his cheek with a cheeky smile.
“Don’t you agree, Princess Damian?” Marinette asked. Damian looked at her, startled, and then rolled his eyes.
“I suppose by that logic, you are correct,” Damian conceded. Marinette knew that he was going to agree. Mar’i Grayson was one of the few people that Damian was unabashed about showing compassion and affection for. He was not going to disagree when it could make Mar’i upset. If it had been anyone else, he might have argued the point of how princesses and superheroes were completely different.
“Alright, Princess Mar’i,” Dick said, holding his daughter in his arms, “I think it’s time we head home.”
Mar’i frowned and crossed her arms. “Can’t I spent the night with Miss Netty and Uncle Damian?”
“Well, we were having pancakes for dinner,” Dick said, “but I suppose you can –”
“Pancakes?!” the little girl exclaimed. Marinette giggled and leaned her head on Damian’s arm, slipping her hand into Damian’s, earning a gentle squeeze from him. Marinette didn’t feel bad coming in second to pancakes. She had come second to much worse in her years.
“Bye guys,” Dick said, taking his leave. “Thanks for watching Mar’i, Marinette.”
Marinette waved him off. “It was my pleasure. She’s such a sweetheart.”
Marinette crinkled her nose at Mar’i, and Mar’i returned the gesture before breaking into giggles. Dick and Mar’i left the yard, leaving Damian and Marinette alone in the gardens. Marinette sighed and looked up at Damian, who was staring at her flower crown in confusion.
“It seems you really are my nawaret aynaya today.”
Nawaret aynaya. Flower of my eye.
Marinette grinned and reached up to place a gentle peck to Damian’s lips.
“Mar’i wanted to make flower crowns,” Marinette explained. Damian fingered one of the flowers, playing with the petals, pulling one off to inspect.
“Well, you look beautiful,” Damian said. Marinette grinned and brushed off her bright green sundress, looking up at her boyfriend with love in her eyes.
“Do you ever think about it? Having one?” Marinette asked. Damian tilted his head to the side, confused, but then his expression smoothed out as he realized what she was asking. Having one. Having a kid someday.
“Sometimes,” Damian admitted. “But I am hesitant. Any child I have will be another heir to the League, another pawn someone could take and manipulate. I don’t know if I want to expose a child to that. But at the same time….” He kissed the tip of her nose with a smile, “…..if it was with you, I think I’d be willing to take the risk.”
Marinette herself had thought about having kids a lot. She had fantasied for years about having three kids and a hamster with Adrien, back before she realized he was more like her brother than a boyfriend. The thought of having them with Damian felt more like an eventuality than a question of ‘if’ – she loved Damian with all of her heart, and she wanted to bring something into this world that was a mix of the best parts of them.
But if Damian was hesitant…she would not force him.
They still had a long time before they had to make a decision. They were only a few months into their relationship, and Marinette had no plans for even attempting to make a child anytime soon.
“We could always get a plant,” Marinette offered. Damian rolled his eyes.
“As if we don’t already have a thousand animals to take care of,” Damian retorted. Damian loved his animals with his whole heart, which meant that Marinette loved them as well. It was hard not to when all of them were so sweet and affectionate, so unlike their owner it was laughable.
Damian placed a kiss to her cheek, and she smiled to herself. Maybe not completely unlike Damian.

Hi. Can you do the scene of "I'm pregnant" of Shrek the Third with Daminette ?
I am so sorry this took so long! But here it is, I am back with more shrek au! *mumbles*wtf have I done. I hope this is satisfactory! I watched the third shrek movie for this.
....
Jon and Adrien smiled looking over at Marinette and Damian as their kids ran around their feet not wanting one of their father's to go.
"I know, I know, but you know Damian would be lost without me, so listen to your father alright, Bella no more cataclysming random things around the house, and Dylan no more scratching your father ok, please be good while I'm gone," Jon said and his kids ran over tackling him in a hug.
"I'll miss you Jonno, you're good with them, I'll have no idea what to do without you," Adrien said nervously.
"Be strict, I love you," Jon said leaning up to give Adrien a kiss.
Marinette was nervous, she didn't want to tell Damian right before he went off but this was her last chance, she didn't know how long he was going to be gone.
"Um Damian maybe you should just stay," Marinette said running her fingers down the scar over Damian's eye as he did the same to her's.
"You know getting your cousin is the only option, and if he doesn't agree there's always my good friends, persuasion and reason," Damian said smirking. "Here's persuasion," Damian said taking out his katana. "and here's reason," he added taking out the other spinning them around expertly back into the holsters on his back.
Marinette looked worried but smiled lightly anyway. "Mari, pretty soon it's just going to be you, me, and our hut. No one else," Damian said and Marinette grew nervous.
"No, it's not," Marinette said and Damian was confused.
"What? Of course it is," Damian said and Marinette went to add something but a large honk cut her off.
"All aboard!" the ship captain called out and Damian looked over to Jon who gave Adrien one last kiss before running over to Damian.
"It will be, I promise," Damian said pecking Marinette holding her hands between his and he pulled Jon who was still making sad eyes at his husband away onto the boat.
Marinette watched as the boat pulled away and Adrien and Jon's kids cried, she picked two of them up hoping to help and saw Damian wave at her. She thought for a second and put the kids down running down the dock.
"Damian!" she called out and he looked over to her. "Damian I..." she was cut off by the loud honk of the ship again.
"I love you too!" Damian yelled and Jon's eyes widened as he pulled on his friend's sleeve shaking his head. Dear Rao.
"No, no, I said I'm..." the honking again. She was getting aggravated and Jon slammed his head into the side of the boat in frustration.
Damian grabbed the horn and threw it overboard.
"What?" Damian asked and Marinette took a deep breath.
"I said I'm pregnant!" she called out and Jon flew off the ship and gave her a hug as the others cheered.
"Congratulations, I'll keep him safe for you, I remember when I first heard the news and had to go through it alone it wasn't all it was cracked up to be," Jon said side glancing at Adrien. "Take care of her," Jon said before flying back. "This is awesome Dami!" Jon said slapping his friend on the back.
Damian's eyes were still wide. "What was that?" Damian asked wanting to make sure.
"You're going to be a father!" Marinette called out.
"Oh, that's great," Damian said freaking out internally, he wasn't fit to be a father, he was an assassin for god's sake.
"You really think so?" Marinette asked and Damian gave a thumbs up.
"Yeah," he said trying his best not to freak out.
"I love you!" Marinette said and Damian felt his knees buckle.
"I love you too!" he called.
"I'm gonna be an uncle! I'm gonna be an uncle!" Jon started cheering. Another patron of the boat with green glowing eyes and flaming hair walked up to Damian putting a hand on his shoulder.
"You my friend are royally..." she was cut off as a new horn blew from the front of the boat. Damian finally passed out from shock as the two laughed.

Wayne's are in Paris and Jason takes out Mar'i, since Dick's busy with something. They join some tour group for kids. And who's the tour guide? Marinette. She's great with kids and children love her. Plus Manon's there and I honestly would love to see Mar'i and Manon teaming up for pranks.
Anyways, Jason's drawn to this cute tour guide and somehow he and his niece find themselves on more Marinette's tours to the point Mari just greets them by their names.
Jason gets teased so, so much and he's crushing on Mari even harder. Mar'i just innocently asks him "Uncle Jay, why are you making googly eyes at miss Mari?"

OLD - Family Soul Bound Maribat ~1~
This is just an idea I have since there are a lots of soulmates are romatic and platonic stories so I thought of this idea, I don't know if this is my original idea or someone else’s so I introduce you to Family Soul Bounds Maribat
-From lovemidnighteclipse12 from Tumbler and MiFallen from Wattpad
~Master List~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone has a family, a soul family, often known as packs, markings, on their backs, representing each member of their family, their pack, these bonds are always there since birth of each new family member, parents, families or adults from the moment you are born feel warmth spreading across their bodies showing a new mark, a new member, the person's own mark are always on their chest , most people find their soul families at a young age because Governments and organisations try their best to get children with their soul bound family as soon as they can but some people find ways to stop the process of finding soul families...................
~~~~~~~~~
Marinette Dupain-Cheng or Fu now always knew Sabrine and Tom were not her parents or her pack she didn't have their marks and they don't have hers. Marinette's soul mark was a ladybug with scars on it's back when other people saw her mark they gave her sad looks because of the scars but the scars didn't bother Marinette one bit, what did was being forced to wear fake skin with Sabrine and Tom's marks when she wore outfits that showed her back, she hated it, hated the feeling of covering her true pack's marks, she hated the feeling and even worse her pack can sense it, she feels their sadness,their pain whenever she does and she in return feels sad having to hide their marks so Marinette always wore outfits that covered her back so then she didn't have to wear fake skin but she always ended up being forced to wear the fake skin and act happy faking it.
But ever since Lila Rossi came her life became hell, all her friends gone, Sabrine and Tom became more controlling over her, making her look perfect as she can, always having to strive for perfection, being a porcelain doll in the public eye, but broken inside, becoming gaurdian after Master Fu's death was hard on her she can't trust anyone, her class betrayed her, Sabrine and Tom aren't her pack, Fu's dead and Chat Noir sexually harasses her or Adrian Agreste she should say only yesterday she had taken his miraculous, Plagg the miraculous of destruction back, to the miracle box now fighting Hawkmouth alone............
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The batfam were worried about their little bug, they hadn't met them or anything but they could feel them covering their marks what made them feel like they rejected them, and they all hated it poor little Mar'i curls up every time and cry, they all hate seeing Mar'i cry, it breaks their hearts seeing their youngest of the pack cry but their all confused why there packmate reject them without meeting them, it made them all concerned because they all knew she was born into their pack so why do they reject them, the boys, Bruce and Alfred had decided that when they find their little bug, they going to have a long talk about covering their marks and get them to tell them why they cover their marks.
The whole family were in the bat-cave when they all felt it and Mar'i started to curl up crying
Mar'i-"why don't they want us papa"
Dick-"we don't know sweetie but when we find them we'll find out why okay"
Mar'i-"when will that be?"
Dick hated not being able to answer that
Kori-"soon sweetie" she picked up Mar'i and held her
Jason-"that’s it when we meet them I'm going to have more then, a few words with them when we meet" Jason was fuming at that point
Bruce-"Jason we don't know why they cover their marks"
Jason-"but they keep making Mar'i cry!"
Damian-"whoever this fool is should be given a lesson"
Tim-"I have to agree there, they keep hiding our marks B"
The atmosphere was tense
Bruce-"on another note we'll be going to Paris to look at an situation there and we'll be going to a charity gala there"
Dick-"what is the situation there, B?"
Bruce-"apparently there is a magical terrorist there, we're going to see and evaluate the situation"
Tim-"all of us?"
Bruce-"yes"
Chaos erupted through out the night at Wayne Manor
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the Waynes arrived in Paris they all felt it they looked at each other
Selina smirked 
Selina-”so this is were bug is”
Mar’i-”so we’ll find out soon?”
Dick-”yeah, we will”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marinette felt the bound closer than ever and thought one word ‘shit’
To be continued.............

Marinette = Mar’i
Okay so I didn’t know that there was already a Tamarenean!Marinette AU but I came up with this idea on the MariBat Discord.
So Marinette lives with the Dupain-Cheng’s and has for a while, being raised alongside Bridgette, their daughter, and her younger brother Jake (until his powers start developing and Kor’i has to take over). Mar’i is raised there since she likes it there and had made good friends with some of the locals. Still her parents visit her pretty much daily or she goes to them using the Zeta tubes.
So flash forward to Mar’i being almost 16 and her class winning a trip to Wayne Enterprise and to the exclusive Wayne Gala, courtesy of Alya entering them in a contest without Marinette’s notice.
(She has her suspicions that her class winning was not a coincidence)
The only ones that know her true origins are Kagami and Luka, who she swore to secrecy, though she was also warming up to telling Chloe and Nathaniel (the only other ones she’s allowed to use the Miraculous for a while). 
While inside of Wayne Tower the class hears “Marigold?” and there is a handsome man making his way toward them they don’t realize that its the CEO Tim Drake
Hijinks ensue
Tim takes Mar’i and friends on his own private tour and they’re confused as to who he is and how he’s related to Marinette. He’s gives them clues but only Chloe is able to figure it out since she likes to follow the Waynes
Flash forward to Wayne Gala
“Now I know some of you have been wondering if my wife, Kor’i, and I were ever planning on having kids and I’m happy to say that we do; in fact we already did!”
Cue Kor’i walking up the stage with Marinette right besides her and her little brother shyly holding their hands.
“May I introduce Mar’i and Jacob Thomas Grayson”

Making Memories: Ch. 2
Day Two: Island/Horse
AO3
Prev
Marinette had always prided herself on being a good babysitter. Kids usually loved her, parents thought she was responsible, and she always had fun. Which was why she had jumped at the chance to babysit her niece. Something she had forgotten, however, was that her niece wasn’t completely normal. 
“Mar’i, please come down from there.” She pleads, wincing as the chandelier rocks. Alfred was going to kill her if the chandelier fell. And Dick would kill her if his daughter fell. 
“But Aunt Nettie-” Mar’i starts, leaning over and giving her puppy dog eyes. A year ago, it would’ve made her cave. But she was older and wiser now- and Mar’i hanging off the side of a chandelier was a little different than Manon asking for another scoop of ice cream. 
“I’m sorry kiddo, but you’ve gotta get down or your dad isn’t gonna let me babysit anymore.” She says with a dramatic sigh, hoping it’ll work. It does, and suddenly her niece drops down into her arms. 
“Can we go to the park?” Mar’i asks, sticking her lower lip out in a pout. Marinette thinks, running back through Dick’s huge list of rules in her head before nodding slowly. 
“Sure, but we’re taking Kaalki with us.” She says, grinning as Mar’i (and Kaalki who had zipped into the room at mention of their name) cheer. 
“Can we bring Uncle Dames, too?” Mar’i asks, her bright smile hard to say no to. 
“I’m sure if you ask, he’ll say yes.” Marinette says. She does think he’ll agree, but she also knows he’d be more likely to agree if Mar’i herself asked. Everyone in the family had a hard time saying no to her. Marinette grins as the little girl flies away to find Damian before walking into the kitchen and grabbing some snacks for their afternoon. 
---
“I refuse.” Damian says flatly, glaring at her. 
“Please!” Marinette begs, sticking her bottom lip out in a pout. Damian shakes his head. 
“No, and I will not be tricked into it either.” He says determinedly. Marinette nudges her niece lightly, hinting that it’s her turn to bring out the big guns. 
“But Uncle Damian, it would be the bestest day ever if you did it too.” Mar’i says, a hopeful smile on her face. Damian’s eye twitches and Marinette has to stop herself from celebrating too early. There was no way he was going to say no. 
“Very well. I will ride the carousel.” He sighs. Marinette and Mar’i both cheer, rushing towards the center of the park where the carousel was located. 
“I wanna ride a pink horse!” Mar’i says with a grin. Marinette frowns. 
“There are no pink horses, though.” She says. Mar’i frowns. 
“But why not?” She asks. Marinette shrugs. 
“I don’t know, kiddo. How about that gray horse? Kinda looks like Kaalki, right?” She asks, lowering her voice. Mar’i’s grin widens as she nods rapidly.
“Yes, yes, yes!” She cheers. Marinette grins, passing the trio’s tickets to the man by the gate before helping Mar’i climb onto the carousel and get to her horse. She wasn’t sure when it happened, but sometime after Mar’i and Kori got back, Mar’i had bonded with Kaalki. Marinette guessed it was because Mar’i was a legitimate princess and Kaalki had an obsession with famous people. Marinette glances back at her little brother, grinning at the annoyed scowl on his face. 
“I cannot believe you convinced me to participate in something so childish.” He groans, climbing onto a horse near Mar’i. Marinette just laughs, climbing onto the other horse before pulling out her phone. 
“Come on, you know Dick and Dad would want pictures.” She points out as Damian starts to object. He huffs, but doesn’t argue as she takes a picture of Damian and Mar’i before turning the camera and taking a selfie of the three together. Grinning, she sends the pictures to Dick and her Dad. Maybe babysitting a superpowered kid wasn’t that bad. 
---
“You want me to what?” Marinette says, blinking in confusion. Her dad smiles nervously, handing her a package. 
“I want you to do some training without the Miraculous. Paris is safe now, and I think it would be beneficial for you to learn how to use some of the tools we use when we’re on patrol. I had a suit made that should be identical to your Ladybird suit, except for the added Kevlar.” He says. Her eyebrows furrow as she thinks, trying to decide if she’s more nervous or excited for the opportunity. Patrol with her Dad had been tense for most of the summer, so she’d stuck to patrolling near Jason or Dick (mostly because Tim stayed close to their Dad and Damian insisted on being more of a bodyguard for her than a patrol partner. Honestly, you get attacked by Deathstroke twice…). 
“Are you sure?” She asks, not quite understanding her emotions as she opens the package and running a hand over the smooth material. 
“Yes. So, what do you think?” He asks. She looks up at him, recognizing the tell-tale signs of nervousness in his posture. Marinette grins, hoping to make him feel a little better. 
“I think this is going to be awesome. But now I actually have to get dressed normally like the rest of you.” She says with a laugh. He grins and she lets out a breath she didn’t know she was holding. 
“Wanna patrol with me tonight?” Her dad asks, a cautious smile on his face. She nods rapidly, excitement coursing through her at the idea. 
“I’m gonna go change!” She declares, running out of the room and into the girls’ changing area. Trying to put the suit on, she yelps as she falls onto the floor, tripping over herself as she tries to quickly get dressed. Huffing, she jumps around the locker room, not used to putting on a vigilante suit, much less multiple pieces of a suit. Once her suit is on, she turns and grins widely at her reflection in the mirror. This was going to be awesome. Pulling a couple of hair ties out of her locker, she starts putting her hair up so that she can put her domino mask on. It’d be weird to have a mask that wasn’t magically attached to her face, but she’d figure it out. 
“Marinette, get on out here or I’m going on patrol without you.” Her dad calls, though she knows he’s not serious. She can hear the laughter in his voice. Grinning at herself one last time in the mirror, she runs from the locker room and does a back handspring to land right in front of her dad- who was somehow already in costume- and smiles. He smiles softly, and she laughs before doing a cartwheel, running around the cave doing different gymnastics moves. 
“How does it feel?” He asks while she laughs. 
“It feels awesome!” She cheers, finally stopping her movement. “This is the best day ever.” She says, bouncing excitedly on the balls of her feet. A new suit, a patrol with her dad where he wanted her to patrol, and she had spent most of the day with Mar’i and Damian? Yeah, this was definitely the best day ever.
