Daminette December 2023: 14-Poisoned Dagger

Marinette watched the gleam off the dagger as it plunged towards Damian. Call it hero's instinct or you could call it love, but Mari moved quickly and pushed Damian out of the way. She felt the cold steel of the blade dig into her and then get yanked out. Before she could react, she heard a man swear under his breath . The next thing she felt was pain radiating from her cheek. Then, it got dark.

"You ruined the plan, You Stupid Girl!" the man shouted, after backhanding her, "No one else was suppose to get hurt!"

Damian watched as Marinette writhed on the floor, unconsciously. Quick to his feet, Damian disarmed the guy and brought him to his knees. He placed the dagger to his throat.

"I will spill every drop possible unless you inform me of what is happening to her, immediately!" Damian demanded.

"Poison." the guy mumbled, "Mother."

'Mother!'

Out of pure rage, Damian broke his arm. As the man screamed in agony, Damian scooped up Marinette's limp form and took her outside the building. He saw the cops and Batman arrive, in the Batmobile. He quickly made his way over to his father.

"The ambulence-" Batman began.

"Mother did this." his son hissed back.

Batman scooped her up from his son's arms and unlocked the car. Damian quickly jumped into the back as his father placed her carefully in the front seat. They quickly drove back to the cave. The cops watched as the drove off, confused. When they got in, they found the perpetrator had a broken arm. The man saw them and stabbed his thigh.

"I'll never speak." he whimpered before passing out.

Marinette laid on the BatConsole. They were waiting for her blood work to finish scanning and tell them how the poison was affecting her. Damian knew the formulas to the League poisons and was waiting on the results. He slammed his fist on the console.

"New batch." He growled.

"Damian." Bruce spoke.

"Give me time." his son answered, "I'll figure it out."

The Waynes looked at each other unsure. Bruce nodded and the began to head upstairs. Bruce knew more than anyone how complicated the league was and his son's entire childhood was there. Damian was right, he knew more than they did.

Talia entered the Batcave through one of the secret routes that Bruce had once shown her. Her son was passed out in front of the computer. She looked at the screens and saw he was waiting for another analysis on the girl's blood and tox screen.

'Seems my son is infatuated with this one. I should have sent ten men to pick him up. We'd be on our way back to the camp by now.'

Talia walked over to Marinette and looked at her.

'Why my son chose her-'

Talia reached out and felt the air around her become heavy. She quickly pulled away and felt the air return to her lungs.

'Interesting. Damian chose a weilder of magic. I don't expect Bruce will be too happy when he finds out.'

Talia left a small vial with the antidote by her son.

Damian sat up, feeling a rush of cold air by his side, and looked around. Next to him was a small vial.

"Mother." he growled.

Damian quickly inserted a drop of the vial on Marinette's blood and watched as the contents of the vial destroy the poison. He quickly set some off to the side to run analysis on why getting an IV drip ready for his angel. A ping from the computer pulled his attention. It was a match! He quickly started the drip.

"I'm so happy you're okay, Damian." Mari spoke, once she woke up.

"You scared me." Damian replied, before kissing her forehead, "Never again, Habibiti, do I want to see you like that."

"I can't let you get hurt, either." Marinette responded.

"You got hurt because of me and that I cannot forgive." Damian declared, "We've already stitched you up. Relax and let the medicine work. Get some sleep, Angel."

Marinette nodded and closed her eyes, keeping her hand on Damian's.

Talia watched from the distance.

'Yes. She's a good choice for you, Son.'

you know how Dazai makes references to the princesses? he should now make one about Chuuya and the Little Mermaid:

her natural habitat is water

she's ginger

she lost her voice (and Chuuya is under sb's control now)

she became a different species at one point in her life

she was used for her voice (and Chuuya for his ability)

also Dazai'd laugh his ass off if he called Chuuya 'little'

i am a really big fan :) will you please teach me how to stab people who are mean to me >:)

Ah, my dear friend, how delightful to see someone who appreciates my skills. I must say, teaching you the art of stabbing those who deserve it is quite tempting. As the God of Mischief, I am happy to oblige.

Let's begin with the basics. First and foremost, you need a weapon. A swift, sharp blade would be ideal for the task.

You should also consider your approach. Sneak attacks are often more effective, as they allow you to catch your target off guard, but it's also fun to confront them directly. Trust me the fear in their eyes is often worth it.

You may also want to consider the location and timing of the attack. Choose a place where you can do your work quietly and discreetly, and wait for the moment when they least expect it.

Lastly, remember that sometimes it's not just about physical pain. Sometimes, the greatest harm can be inflicted psychologically, by playing mind games and toying with their emotions. A bonus if you will.

And a word of advice, my dear. Never underestimate your opponent. Even the weakest looking prey can surprise you with hidden strengths.

Always keep your mind sharp and your guard up. Remember, the thrill is in the hunt, and the satisfaction in the result.

Thinking about the parallel between (1) "Since Cassius first did whet me against Caesar, I have not slept" (Brutus, by using the word "whet", casting himself as a dagger readied by Cassius) and (2) Caesar Revenge's Titinius talking to Cassius' dagger and saying they are the same.

They want to be the hard steel in Cassius' hand so bad. "Cassius please use me!" etc.

What are the Gilded Grims reasons to not be punched?

Since it may be difficult to read my handwriting:

Cyrus: I'm so underdressed

Dagger: It would be way too rewarding

Silver: Wounding me emotionally would pay much higher dividends (considered also for them: your fist is so pristine!)

Revenge squad: Judge said we'd go to jail if someone punched us in the face one more time

Jason: My mom specifically instructed me to have a good day

Phoenix: I'd rather just do it myself

A.T.: When you move in to punch me, I'm going to hold a bucket up in front of my face, and then your fist will just punch the inside of an empty bucket, and you'll look ridiculous

Sam: My teeth are not yet ready to be harvested

Not Pictured:

Lake: I'll open my mouth and swallow your whole arm

Locke: True, see, that's what happened to my arms!

It's hard to say. Japanese animation (or Japanimation as it was called in the US back in the day) was on TV and VHS, but it was heavily altered for the Western market. So I could say Voltron and it wouldn't be wrong, because I enjoyed the syndicated reruns when I was a very small child. Or I could say Revenge of the Ninja Warrior (originally the Dagger of Kamui) because it was the first tape I got knowing specifically it was from Japan. Cartoon Network also had a Japanimation special where they showed awesome stuff from the 80s and 90s. I don't remember any of the names, but it was formative for sure. My first anime fandom was Dragon Ball Z, which I got very into around 1995 or so.

I dunno. Maybe I didn't have a starter anime and I've just liked Japanimation all along.

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science

Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?
