To Marry a Vigilante: Part 7
MASTERLIST || First || Previous || Next
----------
At least their purchases were found undamaged. That was a little upside to the disaster of the supervillain attack. Marinette suspected Tikki might’ve had something to do with this, but didn’t comment. Police kept the rope dart as evidence, but they promised to return it as soon as it was possible. Marinette gave Gordon her number (after the commissioner was vouched for by Damian) and number to her mother. It was a possibility that she would’ve been called to court to testify. She was a prime witness and while her involvement declared only self-defense, Gordon told her in all honesty that the lawyer might try to put some blame on her. It was a sad reality, but Damian reassured both his beloved and the commissioner that they would be prepared. Waynes kept a contingent of lawyers not without reason. 
The teens were picked up by Alfred before the press figured out who the mysterious hero of the day was. Marinette really didn’t need more lights on her. It was enough that she agreed to make her relationship with Damian Wayne public at the gala. Objectively, she knew it was a better option than for the press to learn from students of Gotham Academy. Inside, she was dreading the event anyway. 
When they arrived at the manor, Sabine, Tom, and Bruce were waiting for them. The girls launched themselves at the woman and she pulled them into a hug. Damian followed slowly, not revealing any emotions. 
“I received a call from Jim,” Bruce began once they were behind the closed doors, “something about Firefly and brave teens stopping the attack.” He looked at all three of them with a judging glare. It wasn’t that he was disappointed, but it made the teens feel under deep scrutiny.
“It was all me!” Marinette confessed immediately. “He stopped us from escaping and we were with a bunch of kids. I just acted and I might have kinda accidentally… defeated him.” She spoke very fast. 
“Don’t worry, Sweetie. We’re not angry or anything.” Sabine quickly reassured her while sending a glare at Bruce.
“Well… Yes.” The billionaire nodded slowly. “But you could’ve been more careful.”
“Ridiculous!” Chloé stared at the Wayne patriarch. “Utterly ridiculous! Of course, Dupain-Cheng could’ve just run away and left those poor lost kids to die, but she stayed.”
“I didn’t mean…” The man tried to speak, but the blonde ignored him. 
“But no! Mr. Batman thinks that suddenly protecting others without the suit is somehow wrong. I didn’t see you on the scene at all. There was Red Hood, but he arrived there only after Mari already took out that flying pyromaniac.”
“I just…”
“So don’t go off on us preaching safety when you have your kids running on the rooftops every night.” 
“But…” Bruce had no idea what just happened. He only wanted to congratulate them…
“I did get all the fabrics I will need, but we didn’t get to eat.” Mari decided to change the subject and spare her father-in-law further humiliation at Chloé’s hands.
“The lunch will be ready in five minutes. You can take it in the dining room.” Alfred spoke from behind Bruce, startling the poor billionaire. It was apparently not his day. 
When the group moved there and took their seats, joined by Cass, who was the only other permanent resident of the Manor, Marinette decided on the next subject. 
“And how did the Class trip go?” She asked her mother with a bright smile. The woman sent her a tired look in response. 
“They are monsters. I sympathize with their parents if that’s how they act every day…” 
“They can’t be that bad, love.” Tom tried to defend the kids, but several stares from around the room would kill him if it was possible. “I meant can. My English is bad. I meant can.” He raised his hands in surrender.
“That Lila girl is indeed a talented manipulator when she is not going overboard. If I didn’t know her, I might’ve actually fallen for her lies. And she even doesn’t resort to lies anymore.” 
“What?!” Marinette was glad that she only got the lunch served and didn’t yet eat anything. “No way!” 
“Yes. It looks like she established herself as an internet star to the point where she is somewhat famous.” 
“Tt. She is still a harlot.” Damian muttered loud enough for everyone to hear. 
“The modeling for the Gabriel brand and Ladyblog. Outside of Paris, it would make her into a star of some internet super-hero show in addition to a front-page model!” Marinette was suddenly enlightened. “I can’t believe her lies actually worked!” She collapsed in her chair, resigned. “Guess lying did work for her in the end…” Her face took a look of a beaten puppy.
“Say a word, Angel, and we can make you into three times the star she might be,” Damian spoke and Chloé nodded in agreement. 
“It’s not that!” The bluenette tried to protest. “I just… Her lies hurt people. I told her that it wouldn’t work in the long run, and she proved me wrong ten times over…” 
“Lila… bad.” Cass frowned. “Hurt Nettie.”
“Cass…” The girl tried to say something, but her cousin continued.
“I will… hurt Lila.” She stated confidently. 
“No!” Marinette protested. “I’ve got enough trouble stopping Damian and my mom!” 
“She is bad,” Cass stated confidently. 
“Cassandra.” Bruce glared at his daughter, but before he could explain things to her, Sabine intervened. 
“Sweetie, I appreciate you wanting to help Mari, but we must also respect her wishes. Even if I already have a place chosen… Never mind.” She smiled brightly before anyone questioned her. 
The whole table exploded into laugher while Damian and Cass smiled wider than usual. It was just such… a familial scene. Like they weren’t a bunch of superheroes, but a happy family. Even if the talk was about murder. 
----------
In a dark, damp room two people stood opposite one another. The male figure had a dark purple suit with the signature butterfly brooch pinned to the top of the shirt. His chest was protected by two black flaps that looked a bit like the moth wings. In his black gloves, he held a cane topped with a purple orb. The face was covered by a simple domino mask that did nothing to hide the mane of blonde hair on top of his head. 
On the opposite was a woman in a dark-blue dress that hugged her figure very tightly. The clothing ended barely above her bust, continuing with a sparkly net that was almost translucent. From under the cut starting just below the belt, her legs were also visible and covered in the same sparkly net. The blue/purple of her skin clashed slightly with the dress, but the sparkles of the fancy net managed to offset it to the point it was barely noticeable. Her deep-blue hair was pinned back into a rather messy bun with two long strands framing her face.
“Are you sure?” The young man asked. 
“Don’t worry,” she dismissed. “My grandma reassured me that this is perfectly safe. Besides, it’s too late to stop now.” She grinned and pointed her folded fan at the ground. When she unfolded it, several candles lit with pink flames, bathing the room in an eerie light. The light reached to three bodies laid in circles drawn with their blood. The two figures in the center were also in a runic circle. 
“The bond will not interfere with my Princess?”
“Whatever that vile American did to her must have hurt her badly. You do want to save her and lift the curse, right?” She grinned when there was a new fire in his eyes. “And I told you about my demands.”
“I’m still not convinced.” He glared at her. “And I told your grandfather that his demands are ridiculous.” 
“They are my demands.” She corrected him in an amused voice. “If you don’t want my help…” 
“Fine. I will do it.” He suddenly closed the distance between them until they were face to face. “But don’t even try to trick me. I’ll know and I will end you. Nothing will stop me from getting what I want.” 
In response, she gave him a quick peck on the lips. Immediately, the boy recoiled. She just licked her lips. “Whatever you want, beloved.”
“Ugh. Let’s just get done with this.” 
The candles went out one by one when the female chanted in Latin. When the twelfth and last one died out, the room was once more dark. Then, the runes lit and red light enveloped both of them. She reached to the center and grabbed a small goblet. After taking a sip, she handed it to the boy. 
He hesitated for a moment, but then also took a sip. They were both enveloped in deep scarlet light until it died out and both of them fell unconscious on the ground.
----------
Marinette and Chloé had to go with the class for the next trip, which was to the Botanic Garden. Damian and surprisingly Cass also joined them. And this was how the class almost signed their death warrant and handed it to Sabine. 
As soon as the guide started speaking about various plants they had there, Alya and Lila started gossiping in the back. 
“...told you she was a…”
“...I can’t believe he would…”
“...and that black-haired…”
“If it was up to…”
“I bet she just…”
“Maybe it’s a thing here?” 
Finally, Sabine had enough. She asked the guide for a five minutes break to rein in the misbehaving group. Caline tried to protest, but she was silenced when the older woman looked her in the eyes with fires of fury. 
“Listen up, because I’m not going to be repeating myself.” She started. “Cassandra is my niece, who lives in Gotham. By a lucky turn of events, she turned out to know Damian and agreed to accompany me and Marinette today.” She glared at every student in the group. Sabine noted that Alix stood alone in the back, separate from Max and Kim. “She is a precious little bean and if any of you dare to say anything bad about her again without even trying to talk to her first, I will personally see to it that your trip will be very-” She made sure to put emphasis on the word “-unpleasant. And if you even think about hounding her, I will see you suspended.”
“Now… Sabine, I think you’re…” Madame Bustier tried to defuse the situation.
“Caline. It is, and always will be for you, Madame Cheng. I’m on this trip to make sure they behave. If you’re not going to help me, try not to make my job harder than it already is.” She huffed and looked back at the class. “Am I understood?”
Several barely audible “Yes” could’ve been heard if someone tried hard enough. 
“Good for now.” Sabine looked at their guide. “I’m sorry I had to interrupt.” 
“No worries Mrs. Cheng.” The woman chuckled. “Anyone who tries to badmouth Cassandra or anyone from her family deserves your wrath.” 
“Good. We can continue.” And so the group moved on. 
Lila decided to change the subject of her lies and now kept talking about how good friends she was with Damian Wayne, or rather her Damiboo. It was clear that their guide wanted to add something, but Marinette’s boyfriend made a gesture to stop him. The grin on his face made it clear he had different plans.
After they finished the trip, the class was placed in the bus with Sabine while Damian and the girls were left free to wander around. Some tried to protest, but one murderous glare from Madame Cheng shut them up hard. 
“Why Marinette and Chloé are allowed to wander around with some boy, while we are confined to the Hotel!?” Kim protested. 
“Yeah! Lila can’t even meet her boyfriend!”
“It’s simple.” Sabine cut them off. “Marinette and Chloé are staying with Damian’s family, which is their host family for this trip. You will be meeting your host families after the new year.” She couldn’t stop herself from rubbing some more salt into Lila’s wound. She might be an adult, but it doesn’t stop her from being petty sometimes. Especially when someone decides to speak badly about her favorite (and hopefully only) niece. “If your… Damiboo was missing you so much, you could’ve asked him to invite you. Cassandra said he is attending Gotham Academy. I’m sure he would love to have you stay with him at Wayne Penthouse.” 
“Oh! He did want me so badly with them, but we agreed that it would be better for me to get to know some of his friends.” Lila answered quickly and Damian had to stiffen a groan. How could someone be so dense? 
“Suuure.” Sabine grinned. “Then please don’t complain about the situation of your own making.” It was clear that the discussion was over. Damian, Marinette, Chloé, and Cass were left to their own device. 
“Chlo, I love you like the best friend you are,” Mari started when they were alone, “but Damian’s got a date planned. So bye!” She said before running off with her husband, leaving the flabbergasted blonde and the noirette alone.
“Ice cream?” Cass pleaded.
“Fine. I guess I can hang out with you then.” 
“Ice Cream!” The other girl almost jumped in the air. 
----------
The couple walked through the gardens in silence, holding hands and enjoying the cool air around them. The temperature was warmer than outside, but still rather frosty. Marinette, feeling bolder, dragged Damian’s hand down slightly and pulled him closer to her. She cuddled into his shoulder and smiled. After dealing with the class, it was nice to have some peace, only the two of them. 
“So…” She started with a grin. “Wayne penthouse?”
“Tt. For your information, it’s where Drake and Brown live.”
“But Damiboo! You wound me! And I thought we could stay there together.” Marinette did her best Lila impression. 
He tried to scowl, but the end result was an unholy mix between scowling and grinning. 
They wandered around, laughing at occasional jokes and generally enjoying the time. At some point, Marinette dragged him to a hot-dog cart to enjoy what she called a ‘taste of America’. He couldn’t help but smile at some of her antics. They stopped for some coffee to rest their legs. He allowed her to talk most of the time, listening to all the details of her new outfit for Jagged Stone. 
“...so I decided to replace half of the usual silver studs with golden ones. Or rather gold-colored. He doesn’t actually like the wealth display that much and is all for replacing it with cheaper ones. When his producer one time tried to force me to make him everything with the actual gold, Jagged signed it and immediately donated it to The Gotham Orphanage.”
“I remember.” Damian’s memory flashed him an article about it. “And don’t be modest. It held your signature too.” 
“Well… He wanted to throw it to Fang first. It was so much not his style.” She smiled. “Bob almost had a stroke when he learned that he still had to pay for it full price. I think it was actually the first commission I accepted that was not priced like clothes for friends. I did deduce the cost of materials that he provided though.” 
“Habibti. You’re amazing.” 
She blushed at the compliment. “I’m not! I’m just a normal girl.” 
“An amazing normal girl.” 
“How can you be so smooth and so socially awkward at the same time?!” She squeaked.
“Because people are fools. You are perfection incarnated.”
“Stop it!” She giggled. “I’m not! I’m clumsy and awkward.”
“It doesn’t stop you from being perfect.” He countered. Before she could protest, he lifted a cookie and put it in her mouth. She bit it and munched it in silence. When she swallowed, he continued feeding her. In retaliation, she picked some whipped cream and gave it to him. They ended up feeding one another and laughing.
It was slowly getting dark, so they started walking toward where Alfred would pick them up. They still had some time, so Mari dragged Damian into the music store. There was a whole stand for Jagged Stone discs. 
Marinette, feeling devious, pulled out a marker and signed two before handing it to Damian. He thought for a short moment before making a small heart next to her name and putting down his autograph too. They hid the discs behind others and moved on. In the end, Marinette bought some ballet music for Cass that Damian told her she didn’t have yet. The bluenette liked her cousin and wanted to get her something for ditching her with Chloé
When they exited the store, Alfred was waiting there, ready to take them to the Manor. The two sat in the back of the limousine in silence, cuddled together. By the time they arrived at their destination, Marinette had dozed off. Not having the heart to wake her, Damian did his best to gently lift her and carry her to her room. Somewhere along the way, she clutched to him tightly and didn’t let go even when he placed her on the four-poster bed. He sighed. He didn’t know if he would survive the teasing he would receive after someone finds them. Scratch that. Sabine would kill him before that. 
Still, he would have to wake her up. With one more look to make sure the doors were closed, he lied next to her and stared up. He could at least stay awake, right?

A New Chance Chapter 5
Ao3/ Part 1 /Part 2 /Part 3 /Part 4/ Part 5(You're here)
Taglist: @wannajointhecrabcult @kceedraws @thequeenofpotatoeunicornss @lilyreadbooks12
Enjoy:
{With the PMH (Past Miraculous Holder} They were all sitting in the movie theater, eating popcorn, and watching the events unfold themselves.
“Our little bug needs some guidance, you guys thinking what I am thinking.” The first-ever ladybug spoke up (Mei).
“We should give her a surprise, after school”
Everyone agreed and started planning out their idea. ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// (With Mari) Yesterday was pretty embarrassing, especially since the assassins escaped. Oh well, I don’t want to relive that again.
(Mari it is Mei, after school today, go to the alleyway near _______ street. We have a surprise for you. Make sure to bring Kaalki with you. And just know, we are looking after you.)
(Thank you, Mei, I am happy to hear from you again, say hi to the others for me, will you?).
She happily agreed.
In under 10 minutes, I got ready to go to school, I grabbed my purse along with Tikki and Kaalki, and headed out.
Gotham Academy
Very different than I had pictured it, but it will do.
Being the new student sucks sometimes but it is what it is.
My mission is to avoid Damien at all costs. But apparently luck isn’t on my side, because he is on the other side of the school steps,
Great way of keeping a low profile, Mari. I scolded myself
Just ignore the pretty boy… Just ignore the pretty, wait what? Stop it, Mari, you promised yourself you wouldn’t go down this path again…
Just ignore your childhood crush,
Shi- No cussing, a tinny voice said in the back of my head. Shoot he’s looking at me better RUN!!!
(Damian’s pov) Yesterday was pretty embarrassing, and not to mention the bloody assassins dared to escape. All because of my insolent brothers.
Alfred dropped me off at Gotham Academy. I honestly don’t understand why my father forces me to even go to this school. I am clearly more intelligent than these empty-headed people. But apparently, I have to “socialize” with kids my age. No thank you I am fine with just one friend.
Where did that come from?
I was about to go inside when I noticed someone on the other side of the school steps.
It seemed the new student was having a fight with herself, she then ran up the steps and trip but got back up and headed to the office.
What an idiot.
Whispers were going around the school, so were rumors and questions about the new student. Why would a new student be joining in the middle of the trimester, and especially in the city with the worst crime in the world?
Suspicious…
I headed to my first class, Physics
I sat at the back of the classroom next to Jon because he is the most tolerable in the whole school.
“Good morning class today we have a new student, please introduce yourself, Miss.”
The same girl from earlier stood up to speak,” Hi my name is Marinette Dupain-Cheng and I originally lived in Paris.” This raises my suspensions even more, why would someone who lives in a safe city be somewhere like Gotham. People are Weird.
(Mari's POV)
“Thank you Marinette, you sit next to Marely, please raise your hand.” A black-haired, brown-eyed, Hispanic-looking girl raised her hand. While I was walking to my seat, 2 things stood out to me. I was sitting behind the one person I didn’t want to sit near.
Damian Freaking Wayne/Robin. And he was glaring at me, great, the famous bat glare.
I just sighed.
Great trying to stay away from Damian is harder than I thought,
Mei and the rest had something to do with this.
(Mei and the rest of the crew) They were snickering at the screen that showed their beloved little bug and her fate. Marinette was correct; they were a part of it, especially if they were planning her love life all while eating popcorn. This was going to be Fun.
(Time skip, Mari's Pov)
It was lunchtime already and so far I was done with my first 3 classes. I had Marely in all of my classes so she showed me around the school. She easily became one of my new best friends. Luckily for me, Damien was only in my first class.
Lunch came and went by, I punched a kid in the face cause he went too far in his opinion on me, then we got sent to the principal's office only for him to place us in detention for the next day. And then it was time for the last class of the day...
Gym.
Oh how I was excited to participate in this class {who hates the gym, cause I do?}
The Gym teacher announced that they would be competing against the art teacher's class since the teacher was absent for the day.
Low and behold…
{You guys probably think It is Damian, am I right?}...
It was that jerk face that I met earlier, the one I punched in the face, for calling me pathetic and a liar. Can't I have no enough enemies in my life? Jack, Jacob, Jim whatever his name is,
he is going DOWN!!!
Too bad he got on my bad side, you never want to see a pissed off, Mari.
Also, too bad for him, dodgeball is my favorite game, and I happen to be the best at it.
Well back when I was alive in my Paris.
And I happen to be the hero Ladybug. And I carry the Kwami's Of Creation and Teleportation right now, and not to mention the others especially Plagg./p>
Calm down Mari, it is okay you have another chance, you can sorta of start over again. I told myself.
Right now you have to show jerk face exactly who he messed with.
(Another time skip cause ya author too lazy 🤪)
Let's just say he will never mess with me, again. And for that matter, if these Gotham kids are who I think are, word spreads fast, and they would know not to mess with me.
As I was heading to the direction Mei talked to me again.
(Bring Marely with you, she will play a big roll in the future. Oh and she needs to know the truth after your surprise)
(Are you sure, that could be dangerous and risky?)
(Trust me you will need all the help you can get, just don't worry about it right now, you know what Bunnixx would say!!)
(Yeah, yeah I know, everything has a time and place.)
(Marley's pov)
I was about to leave the building when Marinette or as she told me to call her Mari, called out to me. I turned around and saw her running towards me.
She tripped but caught herself gracefully, I giggled.
" Do you need anything Mari?"
"I was wondering if you would like to hang out right now?"
My common sense screamed at me not to go because, 1.We are in Gotham for crying out loud. 2.She could be a villain in disguise And 3. I just met her.
But alas my gut is telling me to go, and I trust my gut, especially since it got me out of sticky situations.
So I went with her.
(Damian's POV) All-day people were pestering me with rumors about the new student. Especially after school, apparently, she beat up a kid and beat him at Dodgeball.
I spotted her talking to the girl she sat next to during Physics.
They left the building, and then I did what any reasonable person would do.
I dragged Jon with me and we followed them.
This is Gotham after all. And I am the son of the World's greatest detective.
(Mari's POV)
Someone was following me, I bet I know who.
It won't be of any use losing them now.
I’m just going to let them be surprised. Oh the CHAOS!!!
When we arrived at the place Mei informed me, Marely was confused.
"Just wait for it." Not even 5 seconds later a portal opened up behind us and covered our mouths, I wonder if this is the surprise that Mei had for me.
Then they yanked us into the portal and it closed.
I looked into a familiar room that I thought I would never see again I turned around and I saw…
And older looking Adrien and Kagami than me, precisely 3 years.
I was wrapped in a hug. I didn't even know that we were crying, once that was over I looked up to see Marely super confused and shocked.
I mean who wouldn't be both when you were kidnapped, then your recently new friend hugs your kidnappers and they all cry, and you don't even know what is going on.
"Umm, Marely meet my best friends Adrien and Kagami, from another alternate universe."
"Hi, I am Adrien" The sunshine boy is back.
"Greetings, nice to meet the friend of my best friend."
"Hi, I am Marely, can you tell me what the heck is going on???"
"Well, you see Marely…"
(With Damian)
Wtf just happened?!?!?!?

OK, so here’s my go at the 2020 Voiceteam Team Love rec list! I have to say, everyone on the team is great; if I’m not reccing one of your things, it’s because I’m not in the fandoms you’re creating for or you make long things I haven’t had time to appreciate yet. It’s been great working with you all. :D
@cheshiretears: Silver Over Everything (podfic) https://archiveofourown.org/works/24011017 
Summary:  "Alyaaaaaaaaaa the bags under my eyes could be checked luggage at an airport. You don't have anything?"
Not unless you want to smear glitter gloss under your eyes and call it a fashion trend."
(Podfic of silver over everything by HearJessRoar)
My notes: A short Miraculous Ladybug podfic. I really like Cheshiretears’ clear, steady, emotionally-inflected reading, and this is a great example of it. I appreciate the obvious differentiation between narration and character voices (while it’s still obviously Marinette’s POV as narrator!).
@minnarr : Writes clever song parodies and filks--and then performs them! For instance: “People Will Say We’re in Love,” a parody of the song from Oklahoma!, with James Potter and Lily Evans. https://archiveofourown.org/works/24397492  (EDITED TO ADD: Minna just sings in that one, wasn’t a writer--but go listen and be impressed)
My notes: Great singing and in-character snarky lyrics.
https://archiveofourown.org/users/minnabird/pseuds/minnabird/works?fandom_id=31516237  Two Mandalorian-centric parodies that had me giggling.
@eafay70: Speaking of witty parodies/filks.... TOS OT#! (No, that’s the title of the song.) https://archiveofourown.org/works/24095848
Summary: An ode to three beloved men in love.
My notes: “Beauty and the Beast” is a great song to use as the base for this, not just because it’s a love song, but because shipping some combination of Spock, Jim, and Bones really is modern fandom’s “tale as old as time.”  (And it’s sung by another member of the team, zhadyra!)
Zhadyra: Besides singing the above--which takes so much more courage than I currently possess, and sounds lovely--Zhadyra recorded a few Miraculous Ladybug stories. I really like her character voices in this one in particular; she does a good job with Kagami’s nervousness almost not showing and with Marinette’s nervous giggle.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/23447809  Hesitate
Summary: Kagami is growing EXTREMELY frustrated that Marinette and Adrien haven't caught on that they're in love with each other, or that she is in love with both of them. So she begins to take more drastic measures.
Akaihyou: Continuing the filk trend here...
https://archiveofourown.org/works/12642102 The Multishipper’s Lament 
Summary: Some nights, it's hard to be a multishipper. Some nights, it's all you can do not to burst into song.
My notes: Akaihyou didn’t write this, but brought it to life with a lot of energy and humor! If you like Marvel fandom, you’ll recognize a lot of the pairings and situations in it, and it’s just fun.
Oceantail: Both very short podfics in the “Scars” series. I’m linking to the first one, about Ginny Weasley, here.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/24313516
Summary: Everyone has scars from the war. Some are emotional scars, heavy burdens and regrets, and others are physical, deep gash marks and half healed burns. But everyone has scars. 
My notes: It’s short but very powerful, and the tone in which Oceantail reads it adds a lot to the oomph. If I’d read this, I would have been like “Huh. Wow,” but listening, it was like “...Oooh, ouch.” It’s about war and loss and survival, and being a child leading the resistance during that year at Hogwarts, and just...being, afterwards. I think it would be difficult to read this without being overemotional or swinging too far the other way, in an almost robotic narration, but this is neither. It’s serious and quiet and it really works.
--and just a general shout-out to @godoflaundrybaskets for organizing all of us and making stuff happen!
