Can I get a ML Salt Prompt? With a hint of Felinette.
There are things that Sabine Cheng doesn't like when it comes to her daughter well-beings. ︶ ⠀ ⤭ ⠀⠀ ๋࣭ ⭑ Caline Bustier treats her daughter as a servant doing the teachers job when its suppose to be her job to do it not her daughter. She heard complaints from her daughter at the trapdoor but also finding out that she is Ladybug and the Guardian of Miraculouses but she also knows that her daughter is MDC from the very start. ︶ ⠀ ⤭ ⠀⠀ ๋࣭ ⭑ Lila Rossi for targetting her daughter by manipulating the principal and her daughter's classmates she had decided to do something about before Caline Bustier. She had a hunch that this girl is trying to blame her daughter for something she didn't do it happen before when she was young. She depises bullies. ︶ ⠀ ⤭ ⠀⠀ ๋࣭ ⭑ Alya Cesaire treats her daughter as a doormat but also asking for free stuff even she told her mother to pay for it she doesn't do it. Yet she still wants free stuff like the designs that her daughter makes she did not like it one tiny bit. ︶ ⠀ ⤭ ⠀⠀ ๋࣭ ⭑ Adrien Agreste who seem to be a sweet boy but after her daughter told her the advice that he told her, she was not having it. She told this to Nathalie and Gabriel to discipline Adrien about this high road advice towards her daughter that is enabling bullies for no reasons even Gabriel is annoyed by that advice he had given it to Adrien but it was meant for Tabloid Reporters only but decided to do a different method for Adrien to get his high horse about this high road advice a method only for bullies. As soon as Gabriel realize that his son is on thin ice with the Dupain-Chengs he had to do something about it and possibly for Ms. Marinette Dupain-Cheng to be his future intern or Audrey. ︶ ⠀ ⤭ ⠀⠀ ๋࣭ ⭑ While Sabine decided to do something for her daughter happiness about Lila Rossi, Alya Cesaire, Adrien Agreste, and Caline Bustier they have crossed the line on the mama bear by poking it. Sabine only wants her daughter to be happy away from the toxic class and those so called friends who wanted to make her daughter as a doormat or a pushover by claiming that her daughter is a bully. Clearly she was not having it.
Sabine decided the big guns by calling her mother about the Cheng Family Company in two different branch one in Shanghai and the other in Beijing to be lent to her daughter as the heiress. But she needs her daughter to learn about the family business from her side. She called her mother about the DEAL that she made with her mother after marrying Tom Dupain.
She called one of her close friends in China by enrolling her daughter to Central Academy of Arts it was the same academy that she attended when she was young but this would be good for her daughter.
Marinette gets to be transferred to Central Academy of Arts in Beijing for her business as MDC but also for her family business too as she meets Felix Graham de Vanily along with her cousin Bridgette who is arrange marriage with another Chinese Branch Family who is the heir of CEO Long Company.
As for Chloe luckily for her she was taught Mandarin/Cantonese from Sabine Cheng she is now applying to Central Academy of Arts with Marinette away from the toxic school back in Paris that she convinced her father to stop the donating towards the Dupont for a good reason. As her father listen to his daughter's reason he was not happy about what happen when Chloe explain what exactly is happening in the school.
At the end Lila Rossi, Caline Bustier, Adrien Agreste, and Alya Cesaire got into a alot of trouble with the parents and the school board by the Mayor himself who had reported it with Sabine Cheng afterwards. The students of Caline Bustier well their parents got super pissed and decided to withdraw their children from the toxic school into a homeschool or a new school for a fresh start.
As for Nino well he apologize to Marinette before she transfer to China for her new school with Chloe Bourgeois but he still gets in trouble by his parents so he is at his new school to continue his dreams since his parents owns a Music Label Company.
The Police Officers and Roger found something at the CCTV footage in Dupont on the main part with Lila Rossi. Roger wasn't very happy with this girl being friend with his daughter after finding out this girl is working with a terrorist they did what they had to do is to arrest this girl Lila Rossi but also informing this to Nadja Chamack about it as well. Italy is in thick ice with Paris right now cause of Lila's actions. Lila's father is not happy nor her mother isn't. Lila's mother decided to disown her and fix her family honor from the embarrassment that her daughter made.
Caline got fired from the School Board for her silly methods and also enabling bullies too while Damocles gets demoted as a principal for doing his job horribly against School Board demands. But Damocles gets his redemption after realizing his mistakes but wanting to redeem it as a good principal like his brother was in from a different school.
Adrien well to him he didn't have any social skills due to his father abusing him so why not let Nino to be concerned about his well-being by calling the CPS on Gabriel clearly Nino wanted Adrien as his new brother along with Chris it would be alot helpful for him to gain social skills. Gabriel also fired Lila Rossi in person he was pissed when Chloe told him the truth about Lila sexually harrassed, blackmailing, and calling people of his son's classmates as a bad influence even if its Lila who is a bad influence to his son by some classmate of his son who sent it to him but seem to be on struggling with the CPS but decided to let it go.
Lastly Alya got the major hint of lawsuits by celebrities and Ladybug as her parents forced her to delete her Ladyblog down for posting false stories. But she has to pay the amount of money that she asked free things from Dupain-Chengs. Sabine already made a restraining order on Alya Cesaire, Adrien Agreste, and Lila Rossi for good just away from her daughter.

Bandaged hands and the Unexceptional(?) Gift
Summary: Chloé Bourgeois wants to make a home-made gift for Caline Bustier to congratulate her on her pregnancy. But things did not go as planned.
Ao3
Fanfiction
This is supposed to be a mother's day special since, although I don't know Miss Bustier's age, I'd like to think of her as Chloe's mother figure or older sister figure. The one-shot is set before Chloe met Zoe. Just so you know, This is NOT a Marinette bash fic. This is just Chloe's POV and how she sees things.
---
Not for the first time, Chloe Bourgeois glared at her bandaged hands as if they were the cause of all her problems.
It wasn't too long ago that she returned from a field trip in New York she never wanted to go too. During her time in that ridiculous field trip, she tried to make the best of the situation by trying to get in contact with Audrey, hoping that she would visit her and have a mother/daughter time together like she always wanted since she was a little girl.
Unfortunately, for some reason, Audrey refused. She didn't say why. What could be more important than spending time with your daughter? But Chloe was used to it.
Chloe felt the hurt in her heart in remembrance but steeled it to focus on the situation.
With the plan to spend time with her mother in shambles, she spent most of her time in New York wallowing in hurt from another disappointment in her life that she couldn't enjoy the scenery and the fun that she could've spent in a different country like her classmates are having.
But they weren't her friends, not all of them. Sabrina and Adrien have that title. They've put up with her selfish and spiteful attitude for a long time. They deserve to have fun without her despair and anger spoiling the trip.
There is however, one other person she respects enough that could've made her try to have fun with her classmates during the whole trip, which Chloe will allow, but they couldn't come.
That person is her teacher Caline Bustier. She's one of the very few people to believe the good in her, and doesn't cower under Chloe's status as the mayor's daughter.
'She would be a good mother.' Chloe thought
Yes, the reason why she couldn't come to New York was because of her pregnancy.
After Chloe got over her self-pity, the news of Miss Bustier's pregnancy sank in. She had time to think of what she should give her as a congratulatory gift.
She won't forget like she forgot Miss Bustier's birthday. She still feels guilt about that.
She at first thought of giving her an expensive souvenir from New York to compensate for missing the trip. But she dashed the thought aside.
Chloe is called a lot of things over the years. Entitled, mean, bratty, spiteful, heartless, a bully, and last but not least a villain. Most of that is true.
The last one is definitely earned due to the Miracle Queen incident. Chloe's eyes watered a bit when she thinks of Pollen (1).
Normally she just doesn't really give her all and solves her problems with money, connections, and spite.
However, don't call her heartless. There are a few people in her life that she truly loves and respects. Who she will give her all too.
Miss Bustier is definitely one of those people, and for her the gift has to be exceptional.
And what could be more exceptional than a handmade gift. But won't be some ridiculous card. Oh no, it has to be something benefiting for the occasion.
She still bought a souvenir from New York and took pictures for Miss Bustier but it won't be the main gift though. Wouldn't hurt to have extra gifts.
She wouldn't admit she had a little fun during the trip.
But that's easier said than done….
Chloe then turns her attention from her hands to severely glare at her disastrous attempt of a homemade gift.
The plan was to make a stuffed animal, a Bee specifically, for Miss Bustier's unborn child. When she was a little girl, her daddy gave her a yellow teddy bear which she named Mr. Cuddly. (2) Chloe loves that bear very much. It was always there for her every time she felt sad, like when her mother left for New York for years, when she never visited on her birthdays, or when Aunt Emilie disappeared.
She still remembers that time she held Adrien in her arms as he cried when he fully realized Aunt Emilie might never come back. She cried with him.
Chloe knows a stuffed animal would be a perfect gift. A handmade one would be exceptional. So, in her spare time, she worked tirelessly on it.
She will definitely be her teacher's child's favorite after this. Proving that she is exceptional. One upping her most of her classmates would be a bonus, especially Dupain-Cheng! 'I'll show you who has no heart!' (3) Chloe thought when she got started on her project.
However, due to her inexperience with stitching, she ended up hurting her hands. Hence why they are bandaged in the first place. If that wasn't bad enough her project ended up looking… incomprehensible.
'It wasn't supposed to be like this! The plan was to make a cute Bee! Not… not… I don't even know what to call that!' Chloe fumed
"Ridiculous….Utterly… fucking… ridiculous…" She grumbled.
---
It was supposed to be a simple day at school or at least, it's the day Chloe was trying to make simple. The plan was to quickly go by the day without incident, especially an Akuma incident, so she can bring her secret project home with her without anyone seeing it.
Why did she bring that hideous thing with her? You see, today was the day where room service comes to hotel rooms for a cleaning day. Jean was usually the one who cleans her room and Chloe trusts him enough to tell him about what she's been working on for a while so he wouldn't mistake it as trash.
Jean offered to help but Chloe wanted to do it herself. Her heart warmed when he looked proud of her.
Unfortunately, Jean had a sick day at the time so someone else had to clean her room. Generally, she didn't want anyone else to see it and know she's unexceptional in knitting and sewing. So, she placed the unidentified horror in her bag, put on gloves to hide her bandaged hands, and left for school.
So for the rest of the day, she was… un-Chloe… if you can call it that. She was focused, she didn't cause any outburst (no matter how irritated she is). For any other student, no one would bat an eye but because she's Chloe she managed to raise suspicion from almost all of her classmates and concern from the rest.
Especially the way she was protective of her school bag. During class she placed it on her lap when she's at her desk and held it tightly in a protective grip.
Which might be why Lila made the mistake to try to take a look and Chloe... let's just say she made a point that nobody under any circumstances goes near it.
Good thing, Chloe placed her creation at the very bottom of the bag and other things on top of it so nobody can catch a glimpse.
But it did send both Lila and Chloe to stay in Miss Bustier's class after school.
'Let me guess, Rossi is going to create a sob-story where she's the victim.' Chloe thought
As if on cue, Lila placed on a well-crafted mask of a scared rabbit and began her tale of woes.
"I.. I didn't mean to cause a disruption at school. It's just..." Lila starts to wipe away crocodile tears dropping out of her eyes. "Chloe hasn't been acting herself lately. She twitches from moment to moment, she was too quiet, and was distant from class, including Sabrina and Adrien! I knew then something was wrong! I thought that maybe after noticing how protective she was of her bag, I.." Lila looked away as if embarrassed. Cue the fake blushing. "..I thought that I would find answers to find out the problem so I can help Chloe. So, I tried to look in her school bag... I know it's wrong to look in someone's bag without permission. It's just... I was just so worried I didn't know what else to do. I.. I.. I'm sorry!" Lila then started sobbing while covering her face.
Chloe can't help but roll her eyes at the ridiculous display. 'With how often she sheds crocodile tears, I wonder if she'll end up growing scales at this rate.' She glanced at Miss Bustier and held back a sigh knowing she'll reassure the girl.
Miss Bustier placed her hand on Lila's shoulder looking at her with eyes both kind and stern.
"Lila, it's ok. You shouldn't say sorry for being concerned for your classmate. However, you should say sorry for going through her things without permission. It's a violation of privacy. Next time if you feel that something concerning is happening to your classmate, you tell an adult, ok? My door is always open for my students. Chloe…" She turned towards her. "While Lila shouldn't have tried to look in your school bag, you shouldn't have reacted the way you did. There are other ways to react that don't involve hurting someone, understand? That being said.." Miss Bustier focuses now on both of them. "Now that you two understand what you both did was wrong, you need to apologize to each other." She said in a kind but firm voice.
The air between the two girls became tense after that. As the girls looked at each other the tension thickens even more as their eyes that are similar yet different from one another locked gazes. Lila's eyes held cruelty while Chloe's eyes held anger the one thing that these eyes had in common was their mutual dislike for whom they lay their gaze upon. Everything came to a standstill for them, each silently making a dare for one of them to apologies first.
But in the end Chloe felt that she had to be the one to do it first because she doesn't want Miss Bustier to be akumized because of her again. So, Chloe swallowed her pride and apologized with gritted teeth with a voice tight and cordial. "Lila..." Chloe then took a deep breath, locking her pride and her choice of insults away and continued. "I'm sorry for reacting the way I did when you tried to look through my school bag. It was wrong and I should've used words, not violence."
"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have gone through your things, it's just that you were acting differently and everyone was getting really worried about you…" Lila began.
'Yeah right, you were only sorry you got caught. Not only that, I'm pretty sure that the only people who would worry about me are Sabrina, Adrien, and Miss Bustier. Everyone else would've left me to my own devices as long as I don't interact with them or involve them in my business.' Chloe thought, not buying Lila's act.
"I mean… it's just…" Lila then took a moment like she's trying to compose herself then continued on. "Not too long ago when we had our presentation at school about the dangers of drug use, it brought back memories of when I was very young where, at the time, my uncle was allowed to babysit me. He had trouble with addiction. Seeing how you were acting recently reminded me of how my uncle behaved in the past. I'm sorry." Lila said, with a voice sounding like she's trying to keep it together but her eyes if one takes a closer look are filled with malice.
Chloe stilled.
...
..
.
'Oh... You... Bitch!' Chloe thought, seething as she realized what Lila's new strategy is. She could feel her rage bubbling up, rolling over her body, from head and toe as she connected the dots.
Throughout Lila's time at school, she never really talks about her family. The info everyone got was that her mom works at an embassy and that she has a grandmother who apparently gave her a fox pendant (4). Chloe feels that she kept it purposely vague so that she can create a lie that benefits her and nobody would question it.
The benefits for this situation? Not only saving her own face while ruining Chloe's, but also giving Miss Bustier an excuse to look in her school bag.
In her angry haze she's vaguely aware of what was going on around her. How Miss Bustier was comforting Lila after she 'revealed her past'.
Chloe can already imagine what both of their reactions would be if they saw. Lila will definitely offer false sympathy while she'll laugh on the inside and pass on her lack of success in sewing to everyone at school.
But It's what the reaction of the one who matters is what made her burning anger die out into a spiral of depression.
Miss Bustier... even there's a limit to the kindness she gives to her students. There's got to be! Chloe's mother saw how unexceptional she was when she was young and left for years. The fact that she's her daughter doesn't change anything. Miss Bustier will surely realize how unexceptional she truly was if she saw her stuffed Eldritch Horror. How she's not worth it.
Chloe's mind flashed to a memory where she tried to give her mother a gift when she returned to Paris after all these years only for the gift to be rejected because the wrapping paper is, in Audrey's mind, ridiculous and she tried to 'fire' her, only for her daddy to protest. (5)
Even now, Chloe still doesn't understand what Audrey means when she says "You're fired." To her. Fired from her presence? Fired from accompanying her? Fired from being exceptional? From the chance to be one? Or…. fired from being her daughter? … From the chance to be noticed and loved by her?
Then the memory of Audrey and Chloe's gift is morphed into an image of Miss Bustier and the stuffed animal Chloe made. But the only thing that hadn't changed is the look of disdain and disgust in her eyes.
..
.
Chloe can't breathe.
---
After Miss Bustier finished comforting Lila, she turned her attention to her other student.
"Now Chloe, While Lila did cross the line looking at your school bag. She brought up points about how you've been acting differently lately, and with some serious accusations. I'm going to need to look at your school bag."
Chloe was silent.
"Chloe." Miss Bustier's voice sounded stern
More silence.
Miss Bustier was now concerned. Usually, Chloe would yell and give out a defiant glare head-on but right now she's being unusually quiet, with her shoulders slouched and her head hung low.
"Chloe?." Miss Bustier asked, worry in her voice.
Then Chloe's breath started to pick up in an increasing rate.
"Chloe!" Miss Bustier yelled out alarmed.
---
Chloe can't make out her words nor her surroundings as Miss Bustier led Lila out the room, much to Lila's displeasure, and walked towards Chloe. The only thing she can hear are the words that repeat in her head. The words she knows everyone feels about her, but they feel more real than ever.
Worthless.
Failure.
A waste of time.
Heartless.
Villain.
Unexceptional.
Unworthy of love.
Miss Bustier then places her hands on Chloe's shoulders, snapping Chloe out of her self-loathing thoughts. "Listen to me Chloe, I want you to take deep breaths, focus on the sound of my voice and nothing else, ok?"
Chloe nodded
"Good." Miss Bustier gave her a reassuring smile then instructed "Now do what I do. Breathe in" Miss Bustier then breathe in.
Chloe complied.
"And out" Miss Bustier breathed out.
Chloe Matched her.
The process repeated with Miss Bustier guiding Chloe the whole way until Chloe's breathing evened out, her thoughts no longer an all-consuming darkness, leaving only the feeling of numbness.
"Better?" Miss Bustier asked.
Chloe just nodded, too tired to speak.
"Good." Miss Bustier gave Chloe a smile. "Do you want to talk about it?"
Talking is the last thing Chloe wanted to do right now, she couldn't muster up the energy to come up with an excuse to get out of this. She knew that by the end of this that her school bag would be opened and her inadequate attempt would be exposed.
Oh, how it would be easy for an Akuma to show up while she's feeling down and accept an offer to rain her vengeance down on Lila for her stunt not only for retribution but also to avoid this situation altogether.
But…
"Thank you, Chloé. Those words are the best possible gift you could ever give me." (3.5)
Chloe can't do that to Miss Bustier, especially because of the care she's shown after witnessing Chloe's moment of weakness.
'At least Rossi isn't here to see it.' Chloe thought, trying to reassure herself.
Slowly, Chloe reluctantly handed over her school bag to Miss Bustier who looked very much surprised.
"Are you sure?" Miss Bustier asked, not making a move to take it.
Chloe just nodded, not trusting herself to speak. Her eyes then lowered down on the floor as she nudged her school bag to her teacher.
"Alright." Miss Bustier then slowly reached the school bag, giving Chloe a chance to change her mind. When she didn't, Miss Bustier grabbed hold of it and placed it on her desk where she began her search for anything that's suspicious.
Time seemed to slow for Chloe as Miss Bustier inspected. Every second that passed and each item that Miss Bustier placed on her desk increased her dread.
---
Caline was very concerned about Chloe. After her panic attack, she wondered she's hiding that caused her to act like this.
She really hopes that Lila's accusations aren't correct. Caline loves her students like they were her own children but she isn't blind, she knows that her students have flaws and A few aren't the best of people but they are young and have the potential to change and be good.
She knows each of her students have their own problems, whether it's at school or outside of it. She's willing to listen and help whenever she can, no matter what, With guidance and love. Cause that's what it is to be a teacher and a person who cares.
So, whatever's troubling Chloe she'll help whatever she can. If Lila's assumption is correct, then she'll still help her whatever she can. It's just another one of life's obstacles to overcome and Caline will be there in every step of the way.
So far, Caline never found anything suspicious or out of place. It's just usual assignment books, pencils, and make-up kits. The last part she knows Chloe would bring to school with her. But when Caline reached the bottom, she saw something odd.
When she picked it up to get a closer look, she realized it's a stuffed toy, of what sort she doesn't know. It either looked like an amalgamation of different animals put together or a creature you'd see in horror books.
Other people would've found it creepy or something to throw away. But Caline found it a little... endearing in a way. It was obviously made by a beginner who put so much work into making it for someone to play with.
But why would Chloe have this? It doesn't seem like her to keep this?
"When I heard of your pregnancy, I wanted to give you a gift that would be fitting for the occasion." Chloe spoke in a despondent voice
Surprised, Caline's gaze turned from the toy to Chloe who refused to move her gaze from the floor.
Caline knows Chloe is capable of feeling sadness and remorse but she usually masks it with a haughty exterior. However, there are other moments where Chloe shows her vulnerability in front of others, but it was very rare that people often forget.
But Caline never did.
Chloe finally looked up to Caline "... What would be more fitting than a toy. But it can't be any toy, it has to be made by me! Chloe Bourgeois! Queen Bee! Defender of Paris!" Chloe preached with false cheer, then her face and tone changed to something despondent. "But... It didn't turn out the way I pictured it. It was supposed to be a Bee. It wasn't supposed to look like... this." She gestured to the toy "I wanted… it to be so exceptional that your child would be proud to show off to their friends. I wanted... them to know that even though Queen Bee is inactive, she would always watch over them."
Chloe fell silent after that.
Caline processed what she confessed.
A hand-made toy? For her unborn child?
That's...
Caline looked back at Chloe's creation and felt warm rousing in her chest.
While everyone knows that Chloe can be mean, a few know that she possesses a selfless, good heart.
The doll in her hand is proof of that. The doll Chloe made with thoughts of the child that hasn't existed yet.
It was because of those moments and this moment that Caline never gave up on her. Mother's never give up on their children.
'She would be a good big sister for my little one.' Caline thought with a smile
Suddenly, Chloe spoke, voice cracking "I wanted..."
Caline looked back at Chloe whose body was shaking, closing her gloved hands tightly.
"...Them to have a friend they can turn to when they feel like they couldn't go to their parents." Then a few tears spilled from Chloe's eyes.
---
'Just like how Mr. Cuddly was for me when I was young... No, still is.' Chloe thought recalling her teddy bear fondly then noticed the feeling of tears coming out of her eyes.
'Great, more reasons for her to think I'm unexceptional.' Chloe thought with sarcasm, self-disgust filling her. If that stuffed horror wasn't enough to prove it, the crying is definitely the final straw.
Usually when she feels like crying, she goes somewhere private (like a hotel room or a limo) and hugs Mr. Cuddly. Crying in front of someone is a different story.
One of the things Audrey taught her when she was young was that crying in front of someone is a sign of vulnerability and showing vulnerability means giving access to someone who can betray you once you show your weakest, unexceptional self.
She only cried in front of a few people in her life.
She cried in front of Ladybug before. (6) Then felt a deep betrayal when she didn't come to her for help when her parents were Akumized. Those were her parents! She should get the chance to be the hero for this! (7)
But now, she's not in her hotel room or a limo nor does she have Mr. Cuddly. She's in a classroom with someone she REALLY doesn't want to show that she's unexceptional.
To be honest, she feels very exposed.
Now she waits for Miss Bustier to show her disgust and condemn her unfit for her kindness and attention. Chloe knows that pain would be similar to how she felt when Audrey didn't deem her worth her time. This Chloe knows what she did wrong.
Chloe doesn't realize that in the middle of her spiral that Miss Bustier walked over to her. Then She gave Chloe a hug, interrupting her thoughts.
"I.. Don't know what to say. Thank you... Just... Thank you..." Miss Bustier, sounding very touched, hugs her tighter.
Chloe felt both shocked and confused. She doesn't understand. She knows her creation is a total failure. It's not cute, approachable, so why?!
"Why?" Chloe asked
"Hm?" Miss Bustier pulled back and gave her a questioning look.
Chloe gave Miss Bustier an incredulous look. "No child would ever want to play with that. You don't have to pretend; I know it looks... I mean... It looks... unsightly doesn't even begin to cover it!"
Now Miss Bustier gives her an incredulous look "Why would I pretend? You worked very hard on this with my little one in mind. I'm sure that they would appreciate the gift their big sister Chloe made for them."
Chloe's mind bluescreened at that.
To say Chloe was surprised is an understatement. Her mouth opened as if to say something but closed as if she couldn't find the words.
She doesn't know which caught her off guard more. Miss Bustier genuinely liking her stuffed toy, despite the failure, or the "Big Sister Chloe" comment.
"Besides this looks unique then what you normally see in stuffed toys it does hold a certain amount of cuteness in my opinion." Miss Bustier cooed at the toy.
By that, Chloe was done trying to understand. But she was secretly relieved that Miss Bustier didn't scorn her.
---
Although Chloe never had drugs in her possession, she still had to go to the principal's office for attacking Lila.
Despite that Chloe was escorted there in higher spirits since Miss Bustier never scorned her for her failure in making an exceptional stuffed toy for her unborn child, in fact she praised her and thought the unimaginable horror was cute.
She knew that Miss Bustier would be different from Audrey but this takes the cake.
She just doesn't understand it...
But she'll take it all the same, despite the confusion and just let the warm feeling spread in her heart.
Chloe KNOWS Miss Bustier would be a good mother. If her child inherits her oddness and starts admiring Chloe as their hero for the toy, it would be a bonus.
Plus, Lila had to go to the principal's office with her for trying to go through her personal belongings, much to Lila's displeasure (which doubled because she never got to see what Chloe was hiding) and Chloe's glee.
'Which reminds me...' Chloe glanced at Lila, feeling the fires of anger reignite. 'Even though Rossi never found out what's in my school bag and when Miss Bustier assures Principal Damocles that I don't possess drugs, Rossi could still spread rumors about it. Too bad for her I have something that can keep her quiet.' Chloe then grinned with eyes burning with vengeance.
After all, you can't be the daughter of a hotel owner without making use of connections.
So, she knows Jagged Stone doesn't have a kitten but a crocodile.
She also knows that Marinette knows since she had to see him when Jagged Stone requests for her to make the cover for his new album. (8)
If Lila decides to misbehave, she'll appeal to Marinette's sense of justice, and have her act as the eyewitness.
Chloe Bourgeois may not be the best person and while not evil per say she's not above blackmail to get what she wants.
If Lila Rossi thinks she can fuck with her, she's got another thing coming. Nobody messes with Queen Bee.
---
In the New York Special There are a few scenes involving Chloe that they deleted. Like Chloe hoped to meet her mother in New York and avoid the trip but she never took the time to get her. Adrien and Marinette tried to comfort Chloe after the party. The last part isn't mentioned in this fic, this is just me giving facts.
I left what the stuffed doll looks like ambiguous on purpose. It's up to the reader to imagine what it looks like. That part I was inspired by randomly looking at art when I found some people drew monsters paired up with humans. I'm pretty sure they may look creepy inverse or in some cases other people who saw the art but the monsters can be endearing and cute because of how they behave and act towards their partner.
There are references mentioned in this one-shot. (1) Miracle Queen (2) I assume that Chloe's dad gave her the teddy bear based on her drawn flashback in "Despair Bear. (3)"Zombizou" where Chloe heard Marinette tell Alya that Chloe's got no heart and (3.5) "Thank you, Chloé. Those words are the best possible gift you could ever give me. " is what Miss Bustier said to Chloe after she apologized in that same episode. (If you remember that episode you've got to admit Chloe did feel guilty about the whole thing.), (4) "Ladybug" (5) "Style Queen". (6) "Malediktator" (7) "Heart Hunter" (8) "Pixelator"

▼ - childhood headcanon
Caline is an abuse survivor, it was one of her teacher in elementary school who decided to open an investigation after seeing the bruises on her body and how Caline's attitude showed a huge red flag. One of Caline's solace and comfort was reading fairytales and various stories when the princess/heroine/MC was saved from her horrible situation, it gave her hope that someday it would be her turn. Some characters like Cinderella and Cosette (from Les Misérables) remain her all-time favourite and Caline will fight anyone who tries to bash them!
♦ - quirks/hobbies headcanon
Caline knows a lot about meditation and other self-care activities because she needed them as a teen, especially when she got into her angry/violent phase.
Caline loves to read: classic litterature, romance novel, comics (manga, manwha and french-belgian mostly), gothic... she is open to a lot of things and is always up to look up a story her student had told her about or give advice to them on which books they should try to read. Does writing essays and metas, many feminist stuff, under a penname count as a hobby??
Dancing! She used to be forced by her parents to take ballet classes as a little girl, then as a teen she went into street jazz. Years later, she learnt to re-appreciate ballet.
Making terrariums and herbariums, ikebana (started learning after Pollen came into her life).
Baking and cooking with her lovely wife <3

MLB Prompt: Gabriel Redemption + Gabenath, Felinette, ChloeXNino
Can we have a prompt for Gabriel Redemption? Here are some of my ideals which involved getting Lila to court.
_____________________ ׂׂૢ་༘࿐ 
Gabriel was informed by Chloe through her father's phone telling him exactly what happen in the school and towards Ms. Marinette Dupain-Cheng about his son Adrien and Lila Rossi. What really pissed him off was Lila Rossi tearing a sketchbook from Ms. Dupain-Cheng as he remembered that sketchbook happen to be a comission book after a memory of him reviewing her designs that she gave it to review it.
Gabriel did remember telling Rossi to be friends with Ms. Dupain Cheng since she was suppose to be his future intern in the future but sad to hear that Audrey snatch it from him but he is willing to help her progress and possibly make a company for her designs. He had already given up his goal and remember what his wife said in the past before being in a magical coma for so long. He decided to move on so he gave his Miraculous and Nathalie's miraculous to Marinette Dupain-Cheng who came to his office by accident as Ladybug which really surprised him but feels guilty for making her life difficult.
Gabriel gave a proposal to Nathalie to marry him and she said yes. She has been planning this beforehand maybe she can get some advice or help for her wedding with Miss Marinette.
At the end, Lila was given a pile of lawsuits from celebrities she lied to and to the Dupain-Chengs family with a restrainer order for their daughter Marinette when Chloe told them the truth of why Marinette didn't tell them which really made Tom Dupain upset but Sabine was absolutely livid towards Lila hurting her daughter. And Lila was brought to court to decide how many years of jail until she turn old.
As for Alya her blog shut down by force from her parents who were not very happy with her.
But the rest you can decide for the rest of the class except for Juleka and Rose they have found out that Lila lied after a mild of visiting Prince Ali as a vacation with their family.
Marinette had fallen in love with Felix but now engaged to him as well after that high road advice that Adrien gave her really broke her heart.
Now for Lila's Mother she disown Lila the day she was given a pile lawsuit along with Damocles and Bustier for their neglence and enabling.

A Drop of Bourbon: Caline Bustier
Sorry about the wait on this, guys.
Caline awoke to feeling as if she had been hit over the head with a steel pipe. Her head throbbed with pain and she grit her teeth ever so slightly as she sat up. The teacher sat up slowly, then took in her bleak surroundings. A white room, with no furniture, nothing.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" She called out as she groggily got to her feet, massaging her temples to try and calm down the throbbing pain in her skull.
"Well, Caline, I can't say I'm surprised that you're one of the last ones to wake up." The voice caused Caline's head to snap in its direction, seeing Veritas seated in a chair that certainly hadn't been there before.
"Who are you, what have you done to my students?!" The teacher took a step forward, but froze in place when the akuma held up a hand, the sight of those long sharp nails causing Caline to rethink a few things.
"Your students are safe, though every part of me wishes that I could dangle a few of them over a crevasse.” The akuma gave a smile, one so bleak that it sent a shiver up Caline’s spine. “Sit. I wish to talk.”
Caline eyed the chair that certainly hadn't been there before, then hesitantly took a seat, folding her hands neatly on her lap.
“What is it exactly that you want with me? Did I do something to you personally? I don’t see my students having done anything, they’re good kids, so please, if you have any grievances, let me deal with them.” Caline begged to the akuma, who merely smiled that bland smile once again.
‘Caline, you and I both know that you do not possess the spine to deal with anything. You’re a rather lazy teacher, if I may add." The akuma purred out the words, using a hand to cup Caline's chin, one of her sharp nails tagging the corner of Caline's eye.
"Wait.. Evangeline? What happened, why did you get akumatized?!" Caline's eyes widened as she stared into those purple eyes. "I mean, what happened? Surely, it was a misunderstanding."
"Little things building up over time." Verita gave her cheek another tap. "Lila, Alya, the rest of those delinquents you call students. Well, Rose isn't too bad, neither is Juleka. But, my goodness, you're a pathetic teacher. You let them run like rabid dogs, in fear of akumatizing them."
"Evangeline, remember what I've said, you need to be an example for your students, to help them become better. This.. This isn't going to fix anything, it's only going to make things worse, you need to think of all the other Evangelines in the world." Caline grasped her wrist, giving it a light squeeze.
Those purple eyes shimmered as her smile grew, but it did nothing to settle Caline's words. No, it only worsened them.  
"You naive little bitch. You don't punish anyone, Caline, you know Lila is lying, you know Alya and the others have been ignoring Marinette, have been taken in by Lila's lies." Veritas' hand slid from her face to her neck, the grip tightening slightly. "You are supposed to help your students, to help them grow, to become better people. Sure, you can't help every single student, but this is your entire class, Caline. Save for Rose, she's working with charity, or Adrien, that silver spooned boy will end up inheriting the Gabriel brand, so I guess you'll be famous, hm? Being known as the teacher to so many famous students. I think that's why you don't cause much of a stir, because you see how 'famous', your students will be. The famous model, Nino possibly being the famous filmmaker and musician, Rose is working with many charities, Alya is aiming to be a famous reporter, Kim an Olympic swimmer, Max an inventor and genius." The hand tightened around Caline's throat, making her gasp softly. "Marinette as the famous designer. I mean, it's not like you've been gaslighting your students, when someone does them wrong."
"You don't know my students like I do. I've stopped them from becoming akumas thanks to my exercises, they're doing so well, they're getting so many opportunities now.."
"Opportunities from Lila? Surely you don’t actually buy into that stuff that she sprouts, Caline, you know she’s a liar, yet you let her get away with all of her schemes.” Veritas leaned close, so that they were nose to nose. “You are a spineless coward, Caline. You do not deserve your teaching license.”
Veritas’ voice did not fluctuate, not once. It remained that flat, even tone that sounded so bored with what was going on around her. Yet those eyes of hers held onto Caline, as if staring into her very soul. 
“Do you remember that day, your birthday, where Marinette poured her heart and soul into a purse she handmade just for you? Remember how Chloé decided to ruin that purse, because she didn’t have the common decency to remember your birthday and get you a gift?” The hand left Caline’s throat, the akuma taking a step back and slashing a nail across the air. The scene of Marinette’s outrage was in full sight, as well as Bustier’s answer of how she would cherish the purse and think of both girls anytime she used it.
“You spit right back in Marinette’s face when you did that. And then the schools had you dragged the next five years with them as their homeroom teacher, because nobody else wanted to even be associated with that class as their homeroom. They are now in their last year of lycée, Caline, and they’re rabid fucking dogs, who will get nowhere in life. You know that comic Nathaniel and Marc Anciel were working on? Thanks to Lila, he broke off from Marc, the poor boy, now Nathaniel is working on this big comic, without a fucking writer, with Lila promising him that she found him a company in New York who wants to feature his work.”
Caline stood, then stumbled back when Veritas stepped forward, tearing scenes into the air as she went, showing Caline the tears of her students as they faced disappointment after disappointment with Lila, Marinette’s tears as she was abandoned by all of her friends, every single akumatizations of her students, so many akumatizations…
“Your entire class is known as the Akuma class at the school, Caline. You wonder why I favour Marinette, why I try my hardest to protect her? I love her, she is the only family I have. You stand by and let her and others like her get hurt, be forced to swallow down their feelings and avoid any conflict, because you’re scared of an akuma. Think hard about this, Caline; what do you think Marinette as an akuma would be like?”
When Caline really thought about it, ice shot up her spine.
“You, Lila Rossi, Chloé.. You’re all really good at making akumas, aren’t you? At dragging people to their lowest. You know, you probably wouldn’t have been akumatized if you had punished Chloé properly and hadn’t gaslit Marinette about being so rightfully angry.” When Bustier tripped and fell onto her back, her eyes widened as Veritas loomed over her, tears now beginning to flow from Bustier’s eyes. “Perhaps I should rip the spine from your back. You certainly won’t be using it.” 
“No!” Caline squeezed her eyes shut and held her hands out to shield herself. 
There was suddenly a long stretch of silence, the cries and screams stopping abruptly. 
Caline hesitantly opened her eyes, then glanced frantically around. Her mouth dried up when she saw her students scattered around the classroom, some sobbing, some sitting and scarily silent. 
“Miss Bustier, you’re okay!” Kim rushed over and helped the shaky teacher to her feet. “We were afraid that the akuma got you too.”
“That was crazy..” Nino muttered, eyeing over where Juleka had her arm wrapped around a hysterical Rose. “Kind of scary too.”
“I thought she was going to kill us!” Mylène wailed out as she clung to Ivan’s shirt, her eyes filled with fat tears, as her boyfriend stroked her back in an attempt to soothe her.
Caline looked at her students, her lovely dependable students. 
Evangeline was wrong, she was an amazing teacher. When Ladybug would finally beat her, Caline swore to be there, waiting with open arms and a few easy lessons on how to be a better role model for the misguided and understood.

Apologies don’t change anything
helloo so i did this today bc i probably would’ve procrastinated if i left this for tmr but i really wanted to write this bc i love the idea of it alot so yes here goes (yes i ended up writing half then procrastinating again but its done now so yay)
also the idea of this goes to this post by @flufflepuffle296 
⚠️TW: Mentions of murder
-
Marinette stared blankly at the airport she had just reached. Her class had gone on a trip to New York City, where Lila had oh-so-humbly bragged about all the famous people she knew here.
Lila had gotten Max to tamper with her alarm, setting it to go off a few hours late, at 5.30am instead of the 2am alarm she’d set it to, especially since their flight was at 6 in the morning. 
Marinette had gotten to her hotel room late because everyone hadn’t bothered to get their own luggage to the car, and Marinette was reprimanded for not ‘helping her classmates bring their bags on to the bus’, especially because of Lila’s ‘sprained wrist’. 
She had then been forced to carry all 30 luggages and carry-ons onto the bus by herself. Thankfully, the bus driver, who was staying at the same hotel as them for convenience had noticed her trouble when she’d tripped while carrying Lila’s huge baggage.
Lila had convinced the rest of the class not to bring suitcases that could be wheeled for no good reason, and everyone had brought large duffel bags, apart from Adrien, to which Marinette was very grateful for, even if the blonde boy was still bending to Lila’s whims.
Marinette had never appreciated lifting flour bags in the bakery more.
It had taken over two hours to get al the bags on the bus, especially since her class was stupid enough, or maybe they did it on purpose, and forgot stuff in their room, which they would then come down carrying, and forcing Marinette to unpack all the bags she’d piled on top of one another so they could put their item inside.
Marinette almost screamed when Max came down for the eighth time, carrying a stupid battery that could’ve easily fit into his pocket or Markov’s tail compartment.
Marinette was no exception and her stuff was on the plane, which was now on its way back to Paris-- without her.
She probably would’ve been more mad if she’d hadn’t seen it coming, and prepared a small backpack with her, with her phone, wallet, the binder she used to plan the class trip, a bag of cookies for Tikki, the box of power-up macarons, a jar of sugarcubes for Kaalki, and a spare change of clothes.
Tikki and Kaalki were safely hidden within the pouch Marinette had at her hip, which she was eternally grateful for. The Miracle Box was hidden in Ladybug’s yoyo, which was convenient for the girl so people wouldn’t steal it.
She let out a small groan in frustration until a hand gripped her shoulder. Panicking slightly, Marinette reared back her fist and clocked her attacker in the nose.
He yelped and staggered back as the lady with him looked slightly shocked. The lady faced Marinette, who was still on the defensive, but relaxed slightly when in the scuffle, the man’s badge fell out of his pocket, showing the golden unmistakable symbol of the NYPD.
‘Oh my gods, I am so sorry!’ Marinette helped the man up blushing slightly and panicking because she’d just punched a police officer in the face.
Marinette was very grateful she spoke fluent English.
He just groaned and with the help of Marinette and the lady, he stood up, clutching his bruised nose.
She introduced herself as Nette, because even if he was the police, she didn’t really want to give her name out to someone she punched in the face. You know, so she could run away, maybe Jagged would let her stay at his old apartment in Gotham--
She snapped out of her stupor as the lady tapped her on the shoulder cautiously and introduced herself as Amy Santiago and the man Jake Peralta.
‘What are you doing here, all by yourself? You can’t be more than 16.’
Frowning, Nette evaded the topic slightly and said she was here on a class trip, but she missed her flight back. The police officer looked disapproving until she noticed the binder peeking out of Marinette’s bag.
Her expression gave way to a happy delight as she plucked the binder out of her bag, gushing about how neat it was, how she used the correct fonts to emphasise everything, and she squealed when she saw the itinerary inside of it.
‘I am so sorry for her, she’s a bit of a nerd and she loves binders.’ Jake waved his hand side to side, making a tsk sound. Marinette could tell they were either dating or married, from the way he looked at her.
‘Why don’t you come with us to the police station? It’s about a 5 minute drive away, and we’re heading back anyway. We just had to drop my sister off.’ He explained, and Amy winced at the mentioned of Jake’s sister.
Huh, wonder why.
Marinette, still slightly wary but followed the couple to their car. He was a legitimate officer, and besides it wasn’t like she had anything to lose.
She clambered into the backseat and Tikki nudged her from the purse, a small show of support and a way of saying “i’m here for you”. She pressed her hand against the purse in response, listening to the somehow comforting banter between Jake and Amy.
When they arrived at the precinct, Marinette fidgeted in the lift, slightly nervous. Paris’ police department wasn’t the most friendly, and she was not welcomed there, since apparently Sabrina had complained to her father about Marinette.
When the lift doors opened with a small ding, Marinette clutched the string of her purse tightly, led around by Amy’s comforting hand o her shoulder. As she sat down in the seat Amy asked her to, facing Amy and away from the pigsty that was Jake’s desk holy shit were those rats?
Marinette placed her bag on the ground, making sure to keep it away from Jake’s crumbs.
She looked around her, taking in her surroundings before facing Amy who had a clipboard in hand, ready to write down her statement or Mlle. Bustier’s number she didn’t know.
She looked past Amy and her eyes widened when she noticed a familiar someone in the office behind Amy. She gasped, and somehow he winced totally not hearing it from a bug in Peralta’s desk and looked up.
His eyes widened and he strode out of the office, the door opening with a small bang which made Marinette raise her eyebrow.
Amy looked confused and turned around but shot to her feet when the captain stood behind her. He was not paying attention to his detective at all, staring at Marinette like he was seeing a ghost.
‘Uh, Captain? You look like your favorite detective just died, which he didn’t I’m right here, what’s up with the look?’
He ignored Peralta and started speaking in french, which Mari reciprocated.
‘Marinette? Is that you?’
‘Yep. Your detectives picked me up at the airport when I missed my plane back to Paris.’
‘I’m going to call Kevin.’
He switched back to English, looking to Jake and a rather dumpy looking man. ‘Boyle, do you remember when I told you I shared a croque monsieur with Kevin in France? And I made one for Kevin?’
The dumpy man, Boyle, nodded.
‘Guess who gave me the recipe?’ Raymond Holt smirked, pressing send on his phone. Marinette could make out a ‘Dear Kevin, Marinette is at the precinct. Sincerely, Raymond Holt.’
Dumpy man looked slightly awestruck.
She looked at him and deadpanned. ‘Still type like an old man?’
He smirked back, much to the dumpy man, Jake and Amy’s shock. ‘Still after model boy, Marinette Agreste?’
Marinette winced. ‘Consider me divorced.’
Holt looked slightly concerned. When he had gone to Paris with Kevin maybe a year or so back, the bluenette had blushed over the blonde model Adrien Agreste, her wishing that she’d have a relationship with the boy as successful as Raymond and Kevin’s.
The elevator dinged once more before he could question the girl that was so much like a daughter to him. Marinette noticed that two more people, a woman in all black that had a dagger in her boot and a katana strapped to her leg in a discreet way --badass, she noted-- and a buff man in suspenders that made Marinette want to gouge her eyes out.
Before she could rip into him, she was attacked by a blur of plaid and ginger. It was Kevin! The girl hugged the man fiercely and him likewise.
She socked him in the stomach as soon as he let go. 
‘That’s for not telling me you were leaving Paris.’ She glared at the man as he doubled over.
Badass lady smirked and whispered to Buff Suspenders. ‘I like her.’ Not that Mari couldn’t hear of course.
‘Thank you, Badass Lady.’ The lady in question looked mildly flattered. ‘My name’s Rosa, pinky.’
‘My name’s Nette!’ She chirped, the badass aura lessening slightly. ‘I like your dagger! Can you teach me how to throw one?’
Amy looked rather puzzled. There was no visible weapon on Rosa. ‘What--’
Rosa was staring at the bluenette with shock and newfound respect. Rosa reached into her boot and drew out her dagger, and it glinted in the light.
‘How’d you know it was there?’ The dagger was small enough so that while it fit snugly in her palm, the blade was still long and sharp enough to cause bodily damage. It was small enough so that it couldn’t be seen petruding out from her boot.
Marinette just smiled and shrugged, wiggling her fingers.
‘Magic.’ 
Marinette eyed Rosa’s pant leg that held her katana.
 Rosa looked very impressed by the petite girl.
Suddenly, a groan came from behind them, and whipping around, Marinette could see two men, foodies probably, gorging themselves on Tikki’s cookies.
‘Woah woah woah, my cookies are off limits!’ One of them, the shorter one, scoffed. 
‘Like you can finish this much food anyway.’ Marinette raised an eyebrow and the other man glared at the bluenette, and the two men waddled over to a room. 
Marinette followed and when she entered, she could see different types of chips, cookies, cakes laid out on the table. Jake let out a low whistle.
The two men were already seated there, napkins tied around their necks as a sure sign that they were going to eat.
Mari plopped herself on the chair opposite them and the taller man, looked at Marinette disbelievingly. No way that tiny girl could eat more than him and Hitchcock.
She took it as a silent challenge and waited a few seconds before starting to eat. The squad looked shocked at the fact that not only was the girl not vomiting from eating so fast, she was keeping up with Hitchcock and Scully.
The two had evidently noticed this as well, and shovelled more food in their mouth, causing cream and icing to drip everywhere. Their napkins, clothes and the chair.
But Marinette was still eating calmly, although her jaw was working at a furious pace. However, not one thing spilled anywhere which made Dumpy Man and Buff Suspenders look thankful, muttering something about a Marge.
But by the end of the race, contest, whatever, it was evident that it was a tie. While Hitchcock and Scully had eaten more food, Marinette had not made any messes at all. Plus, Marinette was only one person, while Hitchcock and Scully were two.
Needless to say, by the end of the day everyone had grown fond of the girl who could kick everyone’s asses and still look like a ball of sunshine.
She had ripped into Buff’s stupid suspenders, and he had been insulted until Marinette used the old sewing machine in Holt’s office that he had marched into the break room because he knew firsthand how amazing Marinette was at designing (Kevin had also been on the receiving end of her fashion administrations and it was not pleasant, although the end product was)
She fixed Terry’s suspenders, making the colors match for kwamis’ sake, and he had been very proud and paraded around the whole of the precinct.
Gina, who had just come back from the bathroom where she was totally not watching monkeys walk into an invisible wall had noticed Terry’s new suspenders and walked to the break room, and looking at the bluenette sew, fixing Charles’ tie because “yellow does not go with light orange what the hell were you thinking, dumpy”.
Gina asked Marinette if she wanted to be a fashion designer, because she definitely had the talent, and Mari smiled, saying that she was already one, but she went under an anonymous alias.
‘Ooh, we do love a good mystery. What’s your alias? Maybe I’ll commission a piece from you, I’ve been telling Charles to burn that horrible yellow tie for ages.’
‘My brand’s called MDC.’ 
She said this with the most innocent face she could as everyone around her freaked out that this barely 16 year old girl was one of the most up and rising designers, beating Gabriel Agreste in sales.
Even Jake knew who MDC was, but that was mostly because MDC was Jagged Stone’s personal designer. (He did freak out when Gina told him that MDC designed Jagged’s album covers from Rock Giant onwards)
Gina spent half an hour coaching Marinette on how to strut down the runway “like Catwoman slinking off into the night like the sexy queen she is”. Turns out, Marinette was a natural. (‘You need to work on that blushing though.’)
Eventually night fell and Marinette didn’t have anywhere to stay. Everyone offered their homes, even Rosa. 
She eventually decided to go with Terry because why not, and she also wanted to fix the rest of his suspenders and maybe make him a suit that wouldn’t tear when he moved.
Turns out, Sharon took to Mari immediately, Cagney and Lace even more so. Marinette had loads of experience babysitting, she babysitted terrors on a weekly basis, ahem Manon, Ella, Etta, Chris, and so Cagney and Lacey were bascially nothing.
She loved the two and they loved her too, saying that “Mimi” was definitely the best babysitter they’d had, and Sharon and Terry agreed after seeing how easily the three got along. Marinette knew what made them tick, what made them tired and what made them happy, and nothing got past her.
When Lacey tried to steal cookies, Marinette was there, booping the girl on the nose and handing her one and telling her that she would’ve given them one if they had asked, but since they didn’t, only one cookie for the night.
That had the two of them sharp at attention and they went to sleep without a fuss for once, Sharon and Terry cried at the peaceful silence they hadn’t had in almost a decade.
Rosa taught Marinette to throw knives, which was kind of the same as a yoyo, just with more force necessary and a different angle of throwing. Marinette, using her cool guardian voodoo, summoned an undetectable dagger, that couldn’t be detected by metal detectors.
‘Why do you have this?’
‘...Why not?’
‘...Fair enough.’
Dumpy Man, also known as Charles, had taken to Marinette almost immediately, firstly because of the brilliant croque monsieur, and secondly because of the amazing paella recipe she shared with him.
Nikolaj had declared Marinette his ‘big sister Arin’ after trying one mouth of the paella and saw the girl talk back to his dad. Genevieve loved Marinette, who had made her a new scarf as soon as she noticed the drabby scarf that she was wearing.
Amy loved that Mari could keep up with her puzzles and riddles. The bluenette was amazingly clever and even gave Amy ideas on making a new binder. Jake loved that the girl was the MDC and even more so when he saw how well Amy and Mari got along. 
Jake, Amy, Kevin and Holt got into a fight on who should have custody of Mari while she was here. (She ended up alternating the days she stayed with everyone in the squad.)
Marinette had ended up bonding with Hitchcock and Scully the most, forcing the two to clean their desks, goddamnit, and Hitchcock happened to be a big fan of Clara Nightingale, who was one of Mari’s closest friends and clients. 
The fact that Scully spoke French, Hitchcock loved French pastries and Marinette living in a bakery helped matter loads too.
Eventually, the fact that Marinette was Ladybug became the squad’s most closely guarded secret. She’d gotten caught because Holt was a nosy parent and decided to pry into Marinette’s purse and conveniently found a cookie nibbling Tikki and a haughty looking Kaalki. 
Jake had fangirled big time when Ladybug, looking rather grumpy, swung in and smacked the baddie on the head with her yoyo, hard enough that he’d go unconscious. Turns out, Ladybug was a very popular figure in New York.
After about a week in New York, Mari finally had to leave for Paris again. She was dreading it because of what lies Lila probably spun into making everything Mari’s fault, which made the girl dissolve into a small panic attack, and Rosa, Terry, Kevin, Amy, Jake and Gina wanted to commit cold blooded murder to the people that made this girl as sad as she was when she deserved the whole world. 
Holt was very tempted to let them.
The squad and Kevin took a week of leave and followed Mari back to Paris, escorting her all the way to her classroom. Mr. Damocles had tried to stop them but a glare from Rosa and the sight of Terry’s muscles made him squeak and back away.
They could all hear the false tales pouring out of Lila’s mouth as soon as they reached the outside of the classroom.
‘Mlle. Bustier, surely Marinette will be punished for skiving off school and playing truant?’
They could hear Mlle. Bustier’s voice dripping with disappointment. ‘Rest assured, Lila, she will be punished accordingly.’
This made Amy extremely mad, hearing them talk so crudely about the girl she cared for very much, and she slammed the door open. The class jumped at the sound of the door hitting the wall, and Mlle. Bustier winced when Holt’s deadly glare looked her straight in the face.
It was then that the class noticed Marinette, who was feeling afraid and hiding behind Charles and Jake. 
Max shot up to his feet when his eyes landed on Kevin. That was the Kevin Cozner, one of the most famous and respected teachers known to all of humanity.
Said Kevin had both hands on Marinette’s shoulders, pinning Max with a stare that made the boy’s feet turn stiff and he sat back down.
Murmurs and yells broke out in the classroom and Mlle. Bustier internally sighed at the trouble Marinette was causing. Really, if the girl didn’t skip school and cause a dramatic entrance, she would have been going through the lesson and maybe even getting a promotion, considering Kevin Cozner was here.
She mentally groaned and composed herself, wrenching Marinette out of Kevin’s grip and dragging her to the front of the classroom, where she proceeded to berate the girl loudly for skipping school for a week and causing an unnecessary scene in school.
Instead of looking frustrated or upset and cowing like the teacher though Marinette would be, Marinette only smiled coolly at the teacher. Amy strode forwards, plopping a stack of papers in the hands of the teacher before turning to Marinette and checking her arm, which now had purple bruises standing out in contrast to her pale skin.
Charles looked furious, and when Mlle. Bustier spluttered upon looking at the papers, which in bold, had the words ‘Sued’ on them, he took great pleasure in saying loudly, “You just got served, Caline Bustier.”
She opened her mouth to protest, but then seemed to remember her students’ presences, and those students were currently looking at the exchange between the foreigners and their teacher with rapt attention.
Mlle. Bustier smiled nervously and raised her hands as if to placate the squad and change their minds about suing her.
‘Let’s talk in the corridor. More privacy.’ She explained, striding to the door. She stopped adruptly a dagger was pressed to the teacher’s throat.
She gulped and went slightly crosseyed looking down at the dagger before saying that the children shouldn’t see this and repeating that they should go out in the corridor to talk.
Suddenly, a voice spoke up from the room. It was Sabrina, looking confident and proud and very unlike the meek and timid student who constantly answered to Chloe’s every whim.
‘You didn’t give Marinette that liberty.’
Chloe didn’t look surprised when Sabrina stood up, looking up at the girl proudly. She then stood up and put in a word.
‘You just dragged Marinette to the front of the classroom and tried to scold her when you were the one who listened to Lie-la and didn’t bother to do a headcount before leaving the hotel, hell, before boarding the plane.’
‘You left her in New York City,’ chimed Sabrina, leering at the teacher, who shrunk back into herself.
‘Who do you think paid for her ticket back?’ Chloe smirked.
‘Goodbye, Caline Bustier.’ They spoke in unison.
Mlle. Bustier paled. Gina looked like she wanted to run away with Chloe and Sabrina, and Marinette looked to the two gratefully, the former giving the girl a nod while the other smiled broadly.
Amy spoke again, grinning manically at the redheaded teacher, reciting everything that she’d done wrong in her years as a teacher, whether it be when she was teaching old students from almost a decade ago, or now, when she was teaching Marinette’s class.
“Yes, Rosa, I learnt French specifically for this. I took a seminar, called The French Way to Reprimand A Crap-sack.”
Mlle. Bustier dug herself an even deeper hole as she frantically tried to pile the blame on Marinette, who was pressing the bruises on her arm with morbid fascination.
Gina leaned towards Caline, her breath hot against the teacher’s ear as she drawled in a rather threatening voice. “I know every little secret you have. It’d be best if you’d just mosey on out.”
Bustier shook her head even more, doubting Gina, who took great pleasure in calling out Mlle. Bustier’s shortcomings and dirty little secrets that she’d tried so desperately to bury.
“Caline Bustier. You had a student named Bridgette Jaeng a few years back. She died. Her death was written off as a accident, when that really wasn’t the case, was it.”
Her voice, although rather soft, echoed loudly in the room, ringing in the ears of Marinette’s classmates who turned to look at their teacher with horrified expressions on their faces.
“No! She--” Gina continued as if Mlle. Bustier hadn’t said anything at all.
“She fell down the stairs.” Gina made air quotes when she said fell. “She was pushed down the stairs by her bullies. She broke her neck on impact, and Bustier?” She laughed wryly.
“She saw the whole thing, but didn’t do anything to stop her students. She even went so far as to turn the security cameras off.” 
Caline was growing increasingly pale but didn’t say anything for fear of making it worse.
“You bribed the principal of this school to hire you.” Gina’s voice, quiet and deadly cut through the tension in the room, and as if a dam broke, all hell broke loose and chaos was ensued.
Gina spoke up again, effectively making the class quiet down.
“You told Marinette to be the ‘best Marinette she could be’. You told her to not do anything when Lila and he posse bullied her. You turned off the cameras again when Lila walked down the stairs and sat there, bawling and lying about how Marinette pushed her down the stairs.” Gina’s voice came out in a hiss.
“You didn’t tell them how Marinette was expelled, huh. It was because Lila framed her for stealing a necklace that was found in her locker. But none of the students here are allowed to use locks for some stupid reason.’
The evidence was overwhelming. The contrast of the yelling from minutes ago was now replaced with a deadly silence as they mulled over Gina’s words.
Officer Raincomprix had shown up and arrested Caline a few minutes later, courtesy of Sabrina. 
As Caline Bustier was dragged out of the room, she yelled on last time. “What gives you the right to arrest me? I was only looking out for my students!”
Holt smirked smugly, and everyone in the squad, bar Gina and Kevin, held up their badges, with the very unmistakable logo of the NYPD. 
Caline was forcefully dragged away, shocked. And as she sat in the solitary confinement of her prison cell almost a month later, thinking about what she’d done, there was a knock on the door. The one person Caline thought she’d never see again stood in the doorway, the bars being the only separator between the ex teacher and her ex student.
Caline didn’t trust herself to speak, only staring at the girl. 
Marinette stood there, patiently waiting for her to speak.
When she did, the only thing that came out of her mouth was, “I’m sorry.”
Marinette smiled. Not a pitying one, not a smug one, no. It was a sad smile.
“Apologies don’t change anything.” Marinette told her old teacher. “I can’t speak for Bridgette, but for what it’s worth, I forgive you.”

Lila thought she was the Queen Bee of François Dupont, that she ruled the school. Well, she is very, very wrong. The school had been ruled by untouchable rulers long before the Lila Rossi even stepped foot in France, before Adrien had ever attended the school. They ruled the school with a merciful iron fist, taking crap from nobody and squashing bullies and incompetent teachers like bug beneath their feet. But they were long disbanded now, letting Rossi worm her way in and think she was queen, ruling her kingdom of sheep from her throne of lies and false promises. They had let her. But this? This was the last straw. So, standing over the remains of her destroyed sketchbook, Marinette Dupain-Cheng texted into a chat she had not touched for two years.
