“My offer still stands. I also need to restock my supplies leaving the town” (And inform the group of his plans but she doesn’t need to know that.) “My offer still stands. If you wish to join me, I’ll give you an hour at the West Gate.” He pointed out the direction “Go to the west of the market and you’ll find the gate. I'll wait for you for an hour”.

He left. Noting the astonishing look she had as he leaped to a nearby roof.

West Gate, Town of Beginning

It’s easy to believe that manipulating avatars can be a hassle to find online companions in real life, as they can mislead other players to a false sense of security. The Power of Anonymity as they say. Kirito’s disguise, for example, is ridiculously handsome, the main protagonist type commonly seen from shoujo anime. Akuma is guilty of that too cause he also used disguises often on the job avoiding detection, as everyone in the family does (look at father’s Matches Malone disguise for proof).  He customizes his avatar to be as unreachable and frightening as possible to avoid most confrontations in the game. But it seems to fail him in the Beta-testing phase as more players perceived him to be a veteran pro-gamer instead. ‘ Tch’.

Akuma jumped into action on the rooftops of the town. He tried to remember his student’s facial features now that his old avatar is destroyed by Kayaba. ‘ He has average Japanese features, black eyes, and hair, his height could be estimated to be 5’7 same as the initial avatar. He could be a teenager, 14-15 years old I believe.’ Not far from his first assumption of Kirito's real appearance.

With his run, he is able to relearn his new body’s reaction time from the initial avatar he used. It is no longer necessary to hide his abilities in means of survival, hiding his talents will hinder his movement. It's obvious that stating where he gained his skill set comes from is not necessary, who would believe him if he says that he is raised to be a leader of a ninja clan or a vigilante by his family. For now, he is free to leap and travel efficiently to his destination. Towards the West Gate after his wayward student.

—————————————-

Kirito made several stops to the merchants to stockpile supplies for the trip. If he is fast enough he will reach the next town, <<Horunka>> by midnight. Yes, it is dangerous to travel alone. But there is no way that he will stay in this town by the time it becomes a ticking time-bomb to more fighting and headache when resources run out. Besides, once he reaches the town he’s sure no more monsters can enter the safe zone

.

.

He and Klein now parted ways. However they are still friends, they talked a bit, and hearing that Klein would remain with his friends here is understandable. He was disheartened by the man’s decision but it’s nice to hear that Klein does care much about his friends.

.

.

He stops in his tracks when thinking about what happened today. Before entering the game was elated to set up the game that he sees as the greatest invention of all. Like his mother no his AUNT, Kirito’s far more interested in computers and gaming, and with a lot of research and his time he learns a lot about the game and its objective to be the first VRMMO (short for Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online) game on the market. By that, he did not hesitate to join the closed beta testing and was lucky enough to join the team. He looked up to the gaming company ARGUS and the game’s creator Kayaba Akihiko.

.

.

Never in his life did he expect that he would be trapped inside a game. He didn’t expect to wear the Nerve Gear longer after dinner. He wanted to wake up. He wanted to dine with his family, his mom no Aunt, uncle, and his sister stop cousin Saguha.

.

.

He still looks at the news from outside the game at the announcement board. ‘Kayaba, you… How can you be so cruel?’ Kazuto’s heart broke from the man he looked up to. All those days of research and all those punishments he has to endure to be just like him. It hurts.

.

.

By the gate and peers at the news of the dead players. He will never forget the looks of their mourning families and made him think about his.

.

.

How’s Mom and Dad, but he’s still alive so they did listen to the news, that’s good? Are they ok? I’m Okay here, well at least I’m alive. Did Suguha know about this, that he’s not waking up soon? Of course, she did! The whole country knows it!  God, I wish this is just a nightmare! That I just fell asleep!

.

.

Kirito balances himself at the billboard. His arm stretched, carrying the weight of his body, preventing him from buckling down at his knees.

.

He could not get the image of the family’s embrace comforting each other. His mind provides him the image of his sister and mother instead, crying together while the ERT carries the body that is covered in white cloth out of their home. His body.

He never said goodbye. He never told Suguha the truth. his eyes glazed with regret, shoulders slumped, and dropped his head.

.

.

Kirito is completely frozen yet his mind is frenzied with a million thoughts that he didn’t notice the man who jumped down the tower nearby. The gigantic black-cloaked man landed silently behind the boy with ease. Kirito’s mind whirled with thoughts and scenarios that he wasn’t able to catch the man sneaking behind him.

.

.

“Kirito” A voice beckons for his attention. Yet he didn’t move nor notice it.

.

.

“...” The boy can only look at the news reports and video playbacks. His eyes watered with unshed tears as he mourned the people that lost their lives. And the families that they left behind.

.

.

“Kirito… Student. Step away from that billboard.” The shadow compels him again. It made Kirito unconsciously straighten himself in a snap. Kirito concealed his distress quickly as he used to do all the time.

.

.

"Now"

.

.

Kirito recognized someone's voice, and the boy instantly stepped away to gain distance from the intruder ready to strike.

.

.

Kirito visibly stood down and lowered his sword when he recognized the man. His sensei’s green eyes view the reports with a calculating gaze. His cloak covered his impressive body build that Kirito knew at his attempt to protect him and the woman before. Now that he mentioned it, Akuma's new form is drastically different.

.

.

He couldn’t help but flush red now that he realized his teacher’s IRL body is extremely fit. He could not help but remember Akuma's toned body and that woman, Red Valkyrie’s strong build in that brief embrace at the plaza.

.

.

Looking at his teacher, now that he calmed down. He did wonder if Akuma-sensei looked familiar to him. He just can't put his finger where he sees him. But that didn’t matter now, does it?

Silence enveloped the two as they waited to see who would break the ice first.

.

.

It took them a couple of minutes until Akuma turned his head towards the boy. He could tell that there is something his teacher is looking for. He could not help but freeze under his investigating green gaze and hold his ground.

.

.

“Sensei…” Kirito started. ’ Do you have a family too? ’  He wanted to ask him but he hesitated.

.

.

“You're fortunate enough that I reached you before you decide to act reckless” The man grumbled yet his eyes softened at his person. Akuma taught this boy himself. No one tells him to do it. Not Father, his brothers, and sisters, or the Al Ghuls. Just himself and this boy’s reckless bravery.

.

.

“What?” Kirito responded. Mulled the fact that Akuma did in fact care enough to chase him. Wait a min- Wasn’t he from the West gate? The other side of the Town? How did he find him so quickly?!

.

.

Oh, the chat… makes sense.

.

.

“Before you dare utter a word about RUNNING AWAY, Care to tell me what is this insane plan you have in your head” Akuma spoke. Ruffling the head of his student not pulling his handoff. Kirito can’t help but ground himself with the heavyweight, leaning on the older man.

.

.

He sputtered when realizing what he did. And tries to recover quickly.

“Uhhh-. I was *ahem* ”  Kirito embarrassingly swatted the hand away from his head and thought about the next words he is trying to say. “I want to get the << Anneal Blade .>>, you know the quest in <Horunka>? ”

.

.

“The one requires the flower from  <<Little Nepenthes>>, correct?  I do know of it. They said that that was one of the best beginner’s weapons you get at the early game” Akuma stated.

.

.

‘Planning for the best equipment is the first step for much more secure gameplay in the long run. But taking down those <<Little Nepenthes>> are not easily scoffed at .’

.

.

“Good luck finding those annoyances, that is one thing to worry about. It's another from beating them in their own garden on the other hand.” The teacher frowned, crossing his arms on his chest.

.

.

“How exactly do you plan to beat a bunch of sentient vines without getting yourself eaten?”  He continued. He needs to make sure that this kid is in the right in the head. This day is overwhelming enough, but he wasn't tempting fate to the little boat Kirito is in. And although Akuma didn’t encounter the plant-based monsters, something tells him that fighting Poison Ivy before her change gives him a bit of perspective.

.

.

“Cut them off of course,” Kirito blinked. He did the quest at the Beta, why the hell did he have to ask that?

.

.

“Then what? Do you have any backup contingencies? What happens if you are surrounded or trapped? Did you even have a counter from their acid? ” Akuma asked again and this time the boy stayed silent. The man sighs deeply.

.

.

To be honest, when Kirito first approached him to learn, he was dumbfounded. Why on earth does this brat think that HE of all people is capable of teaching?

.

.

“Hey! I did the Quest before and it was fine! It turned out well, thanks!” The boy exclaimed. Getting tired of getting chewed on. ‘ Seriously old man, what are you up to?’

.

.

“AND, How many times DID you respawn just to get that sword?!” Akuma spat out. "Need I remind you getting tangled in those vines and their acidic spit? Or the time where they tore you to shreds?"

.

.

“...” silence covers the pair. Again.

.

.

‘ I did get it after 3 respawns, it felt weird ’ Kirito’s mind supplied the answer. Kirito only looks away instead. He can’t believe he forgot the most crucial part of the game. No revivals. No more second chances. Dying is permanent.

.

.

‘This isn’t a game anymore, if I die then I die’

.

.

Resignation washed over him as he started to understand now. Kirito breathes out his anxiety. Accepting that he is now a part of this world, that he is to take part to escape this place. He doesn’t know whether he gets out here free or dies. He is sure though, That he is not going to lay low while he is willing to fight. Fighting for the freedom of every person in this prison.

.

.

“All of this Kirito… Will change your life Kirito” The man solemnly speaks gesturing well, everything... “It will change our lives. This is not just a game anymore, but a new world we have to live in to survive. Everything we know back our home is not something to ponder much of.” ‘ Gotham, Metropolis, Nanda Parbat, Themyscira, Atlantis. What's the difference anyway? All you need to do is to live to see another day ’ Damian remembers how many calculated plans go down the drain when unexpected circumstances happen in those missions.

.

.

“Tell me how long does it take for us to clear 10 floors before the beta testing ends. 3 Months Kirito and most of the Open-world monsters weren't even released in the Beta. This will take us at least 3 years just to get up to the top of the tower”  Damian walks past Kirito and leans on the side of the gate. The shadow is cast by the tall towers and the walls that fortified the west of the Town of Beginning. Damian never saw the mortified realization of the boy muttering “Three years?”, honestly he never wished to do so.

.

.

“Let's not be hasty to take action, Time is not against us. But one wrong misstep will result in us losing a life. Thus we have stayed in touch and all of us are informed. We're not sure what Kayaba changes he did to the floors.”

.

.

“Now we are in the Release of the game and Ten thousand players are now lost and surely are in a panic. Us beta testers are now the main sources of information since we stayed here long enough to know what to expect.” Akuma keeps an eye on the boy who is now seated at some of the barrels by the wall.

.

.

“Yes. Sensei” Kirito nodded.

.

.

“Good. Now open the chat.” Akuma said “See if you can help Argo out” opening his own Menu Window to the chats.

Kirito opens the chat to see what in the world is Akuma is talking about.

Previously:

After he left and one hour to her counter, she ran to find the NPC for the quest earlier. Contemplating if joining him is the best choice. He is a stranger, a strong one, and knows a lot about the game like Lavender to Pico.

Crap! Lavender and Pico! She didn’t save their UID’s too. Maybe Akuma knows her. She’ll ask him later. If she catches him. “I need Medical supplies (no wait potions) potions, clothing, and the dagger. Do we need food? I need to sell the materials for Col first too ”

And by that, she launches herself to the roof, running against time.

Now:

Red Valkerie's run. Starting NOW! 01:00:00 time left.

----------------------------

West Gate, Town of Beginning

Floor 1

----------------------------

She uses the crates to climb off with quick jumps to the nearby wall and leaps to reach the ledge. Hands grab the side of the building and hurl herself to the top. She observed the area, noting the landmarks she could easily identify.

.

She opens the <Map> and confirms the notable locations inside the Town. and then summons a <Notepad> next to the map.

---------------------

Red Valkyrie's notes

<Teleport Gate Plaza>Notes: Quest-giving NPC gives the mission “Get Rid of the Boars”. Gives off Cols for killing 15 Frenzy Boars. Beginners quest. Not for longtime use.

<Merchant District>Located on all Floors (Workshop, Merchants, Traders, etc.)

<Blackiron Palace>The Respawn area to prisoners against the Law of Aincrad. Largest Building on the Floor? Possible hidden quest? (investigation required)

She also noted the towers that are placed in certain sections. And continues to list the necessary supplies in her checklist. She checked the clock from a distance.

---------------------

55:38 minutes remaining…

Reviewing the map and the city’s structure illuminated by the orange twilight, taking in the sight of the town. Her head held high and the blue screen disappeared with a wave of her hand.

.

.

Red Valkyrie takes a deep breath and slowly releases it. Searching for inner peace she whispers “Tikki spots on”

.

.

Fearlessly. She started to run towards the roof of the store below her. Since the roof is lower from the building, she landed on there with a roll that took the impact of her HP, and she continued to flow with her whole body and never stopped running after her quick recovery.

.

.

With the fire in her eyes burning in passion, she huffs her breath and dodges the items and clotheslines that cover the rooftops with ease. Rolling above empty tables, flitted between hanging clothes. And avoiding plants potted there with graceful efficiency.

.

.

She ran. Ran to gain speed and momentum as she leaps to the next building. Landing herself smack on the wall. But instead of falling to the stone pavement below, she grips the creases of the bricks until she has a footing of the ones below her and quickly launches to the nearby windowsill on her side and continues to climb and proceeds to run again.

.

.

Spotted her first target. And landed at the store’s roof that was almost closed for the day and quickly scanned the stuff she needed before startling the NPC.

.

.

After a quick break from her low stamina depletion, heaving for air with her body crouched in her landing. She needs to purchase better equipment. “Hi! You're still open?” She grinned at the merchant.

.

.

The NPC blinked and then quickly recovered his surprise with a smile. “Hello traveler, you need some equipment? The workshop is open for all”. Most Players welcome themselves from the entrances of the workshop, not from above.

.

.

With the <<Drops>> she got and the Col she earned, Red Valkyrie was able to craft her first dagger << Bronze Dagger >>. Well, she said she’ll replace her sword, did she?

.

.

And she bought some recovery potions << Healing Potion >>, << Restorative Potion >> , and << Cleansing Potion >>. Quickly her Col ran out from crafting items.

.

.

“Thanks, Monsieur! ” She hurriedly sprinted to the < Teleport Gate Plaza >.

.

.

“ Monsieur? ” the guy asked as the Player ran off. The Cardinal System provided the French translation.

===============================

MONSIEUR. noun

mon·sieur

Definition of monsieur

: a Frenchman of high rank or station —used as a title equivalent to Mister and prefixed to the name of a Frenchman.

: Command:

As the first customer after the creator’s new feature. The workshop designated NPC is now required to pin the Player UID of  Red Valkyrie as an important customer to any floor she comes upon.

: Command end:

===============================

“My dagger, medicine, potions, and a few camping equipments, Check!” Valkyrie crosses the items out in her checklist.

“Next stop, The Terrified woman.” She talked to herself. Finishing her first task and proceeds to run. Heading to the Plaza.

39:13 minutes remaining…

Rolling after the blockade of crates, she continues to speed on the streets. She reaches the blacksmith and continues to run past it.

When she is about to reach the entrance of the plaza, she hears booming footsteps and warcries coming straight towards her. That makes the woman stop in her tracks. A large number of players are heading towards her at a worrying speed. She panics and frantically looks for a hiding spot.

.

.

“FOR FREEDOM!!! ” this is what they chant. “ FOR ALL AND ALL!” They declared.

.

.

She looks at someplace and sees a flagpole that has a flag of Aincrad on it. She climbed the coarse flag and tuck herself within the fabric like a cocoon. Hiding her from the people below.

.

It's a good thing she climbs up to that flagpole in time before the stampede of players burst out of the plaza. Being trampled is not fun. Red Valkyrie relaxed, releasing her breath when she held still.

.

“Oh…” she realized, a stunned expression on her face. She shakes her head as she chuckles that some of them are heading to the < Merchant District >. She’s fortunate enough to buy the equipment in time before they close. But those people who run past her will have to wait till morning to get supplies.

.

“Lucky me~” she sang silently and let herself slide to fall clutching the flag in her hand. Once she reaches the pavement quietly, she continues to the plaza once the coast is clear.

.

====================

Teleport Gate Plaza, Town of Beginning

Floor 1

=====================

.

Once she arrives, as she said before.

It's chaos.

She wasn’t prepared to see this. “Oh no.” She gasps, bringing her hands near her heart as a terribly familiar scene she sadly dealt so many times before.

.

Her eyes widened and watered as people were crying so loud, something she wished she only last heard in the Akuma Attacks. Wailing that screeches so frighteningly loud and filled with terror. “Children?”

.

“Why are there children here?” she stuttered. Terrified of the extent of these events and campaigns can go in the future.

.

Little ones that are definitely not 15 years old are now centered in the middle of the plaza. Big fat tears fell to their faces as they huddled each other. They cried for their parents, they cried to go back home, they pleaded to the sky where Kayaba was to be released.

.

Some men and women froze, while others console the little ones. But there are others huddled together at designated spots, ones with their own friends and those who sulk alone.

.

And let's not forget those who let their anger rage against them and trash all over the area. Blaming every moving thing the point at and picking fights they see move. Ignoring the blaring warnings of disruptive violence, that they will be punished by their actions.

.

“You beta-tester, you said that this is safe!”

“Bastard! You Liar!”

“I wanna go home! I trusted YOU! ”

It seems that a small mob found their target.

.

A man in his twenties. He is stunned and on the verge of hyperventilating. His eyes froze wide like a deer in the headlights. All while his ears are ringing from all the shouting and his own racing heartbeat, the emotions, and stares that are thrown at his way are heavy and frightening. He couldn't move, he felt naked all under those judging eyes.

.

He’s scared.

.

His trembling visage triggered Ladybug Red Valkyrie to sidetrack from her mission and followed the noise of the hateful shouting. Her back straightens as she heavily marches her way towards it.

.

And in the crowd of thousands, a commanding voice boomed to the people around them.

.

“Back off”

.

They all turned their attention to the red-clad woman. She felt their stares but her eyes tighten and focus on the one who is looming on the man who she suspects as the leader.

.

Red Valkyrie entered the fray. “What seems to be the problem now?” She narrowed her eyes to the players that were harassing the man.

.

“Stay out of this gaijin !” a rude one interjects. The word never bothered her, but his actions does.

.

“I will. If you back off from this man, don't test me.” She narrowed her eyes and gazed at them. Everyone was tense to the surprisingly commanding aura she emitted. For a woman, she knew that as a petite figure with a pretty face, no one can hesitate to kick her pride out. But none of them know what she is truly capable of.

.

“Why do you care bitch, hu! This guy’s a beta-tester! I bet he knows something!” The stupid ring-leader spat angrily at her and then turns his attention to the man, grabbing the other player’s collar. “So spit it out!” He roars to intimidate.

.

However, the man's gaze was only focused on the woman. ‘ Wasn’t she with Akuma and Kirito earlier? Why is she here?’

.

He scrams off as the orange-man tossed him off to the ground, unsatisfied from his silence. To face the red-clad woman.

.

“Are you alright?” the man's companions asked, shakingly. They quietly looked after their friend but they still looked at the woman. She was either brave or stupid. ‘Or she has a plan on her own' The third (fourth?) Beta-tester thought. By all means, he now knew what she is trying to do.

.

“You! You really level up really high, don't you? Are you like him! Are you a beta-tester too! You cheated too! Didn’t yah!” He pointed his finger to the red-suited player. She only raised her brow in response to his accusations.

.

“A beta-tester? Me! Oh my! you flatter me?" She giggled mockingly, doing all her best to imitate Chloé's presence.

.

"Even if I am, What's up to you? Do you really expect that I will just tell you things I know cause you bad-mouthed this gaijin ?” She cooly responded and her one brow raised. “I am new to this game as much as you are. Then again you think you can just trample others because you're unsatisfied? But at least I give the beta-testers something you will never have.”

.

He only snorted at her statement. Laughing off with his gang, some of them are intimidated by her but they can only laugh awkwardly. She assessed at them deeming them a threat or not. Even the one's whose forehead shines in sweat. She may not notice but the players beyond the gang are mystified by her appearance.

.

“What your time! Cause I really~ would like some of that” He then lewdly licked his lips, looking her one over. The way he behaved disgusted her, but she stayed standing tall and mighty.

.

"I was about to say respect but yes that one too~" She looks down to the man and waves him off. Ignoring the sputtering Beta-tester.

.

She scoffs “If you're trying to be so bold. Then act like it. You're nothing more than a school bully than everything else this game has to offer. Heck, even a boar can beat you to it!" Val mocked him.

.

Scoffs and silent laughs can be heard silence in the leader's "Shut up!"

.

‘ Good, just a little more ’ If she planned correctly they will be in jail and no one can be hurt by them as long as she is still in this city. ‘Tikki could have scolded me for being reckless’ she taught.

.

"You are ridiculous, Utterly ridiculous. Wasting everyone's time to your tantrums and whining. Go back to your school! maybe you can learn more manners there than in here.” Her hand gestures are inanimately posh.

.

Snickering and whoops can be heard to that burning comment that left the ring-leader embarrassed in shame.

.

“Why you!- That is it!” he sneered 'finally a reaction'. “Get her!” he commanded. His men moved and the group hurriedly surrounded her.

.

Hard-headed they all shouted as more uneducated profanity and launched themselves at her. “Good” Now that their attention is directed at her, she crosses her arms and stands her ground as they draw their weapons.

.

By the time that the ringleader’s sword is about inches away from her face, the security system of the Plaza activates. The delinquents are now frozen by the security system. A flash of red appeared from the floor circles of red spotlights against each individual attacking delinquent.

.

Multiple red boxes float across the venue to warn them last time for the day. Everyone in the Plaza froze as they remembered the Announcement a few moments ago.

.

And then a robotic voice spoke for all to hear.

<Violence within the safe zone is not tolerated >

<For disrupting the peace of the Aincrad Safety Regulation:>

<UID ____ is under arrest and to be teleported to the < Blackiron Palace > until further notice>

.

.

Unbothered by the announcement's statement. Red Valkyrie moves his sword away from her face and leans to his ear. “So you wanna know my secret?” she mockingly whispered. Making sure that everybody can hear her. She then backs off and looks at all the red-lighted men.

.

“I read the manual.” She cheerfully said, tilting her head sideways shining them a smile.  “It's really simple you know. I’m sure you’ll see a lot of tips with light reading.” She ignored the glinting item on the ground and walked past the frozen gang circling them while their line of sight is still on her.

.

"But~" She sang.

.

“With time you all are on probation. I’m sure you’ll have a lot of fun reviewing those tips and tricks.” She shakes her head in mocking sympathy.

.

She then turned back and waved with a big smile. “Goodbye!”. Ignoring the incoherent shouts and angry grunts from their immovable mouths.  Her smug expression is the last thing they saw before being thrown to dark prison.

.

<Good day!>

.

And that, all the attackers now disappeared and were taken prisoners to the Palace with a flash of red.

.

The rest of the group that didn’t attack her now hesitated to do anything. "Alright, what to do with the rest of you? Hm?." Red Valkyrie's name is now ingrained in their heads. She looks at them in a now cooled expression as if pondering for her next move.

.

They avoided her gaze as she now turns her attention to them and stared at them with her electric blue gaze. “If you're gonna join them, go ahead. But I for one suggest you guys move on your way now.” and that, her features soften as she continues.

.

“Or, you guys can help them out” gesturing out the other people with them in the plaza. "A lot of people are now really could use some help. Directing them to the nearest Inns and Diners you know. this must be an exhausting day to everyone." She patted one of the men's shoulder as a soothing gesture. Ignoring the flinch he first reacted.

.

"Maybe you can ask the Church too for them" they followed her sight to the children.

.

"But If anyone dares to take advantage of any of them," She spoke with a glare that Ladybug can muster.

.

"Prison will be your heaven against me."

.

Her eyes shine in her promise.

.

And she turned her back on them and walked away like she didn’t command them. She doesn't care what they decided to do next. "The choice is now yours"

.

Red Valkyrie almost tripped at something on the ground, and looking down she saw her <Light Sword> she left before Midori swept her off her feet. She kicks it upwards to the air and stores it in her inventory with a swift swipe of her hand.

.

“Well, that was easy.” She sighs to herself. She doubted that was the first arrest the system made. But if it is, then good. That will teach them a lesson.

.

Red Valkyrie breathes deeply, but then she notices that the place is now quiet. Looking around her to assess the area to be found, all that remained stares at her. She blinked at the crowd, and they blink back. She embarrassingly scratched the back of her neck at the wide eyes of the kids. 'Gosh, I'm not this shy as Ladybug.'

.

She then composes herself and waved at them and strode to the man earlier.

.

Reading his Username and his friends’, Red Valkyrie can be assured that this group will be safe too.

.

“Are you alright?” She worriedly asked, offering out her hand to Diavel.

Wow, this is much better consequences than I imagined. And it only took an almost suicide....🔨⚒️📐📏🖇️

Daminette December 2023: 29-Disappointment

Marinette watched in disappointment as everything about Françoise Dupont was revealed. She thought she would feel justified, feel happy. Instead, she felt nothing. Caline Bustier had been fired in the middle of class. Lila had been arrested. They didn't tell the class anything; they just told them their parents were there and they had to speak to them before they left. Even their parents seemed confused.

Adrien stood with Natalie in a line. Everyone was spaced out. They had all been told that the students weren't allowed to talk to each other and if a pone was seen, it would go straight into police custody. Adrien looked behind him to see Marinette leaning against her father's large frame and her mother stroking her hair.

Once they were led into a room, they were all let out through a different direction to make sure there wasn't anything yelled out. When it was Adrien's turn, they quickly learned this was mostly about Lila Rossi. Natalie began to ask questions of her own, as they had hired her. At the end of the session, they were told to head straight home. No one was allowed to stick around on campus. As they got in the car, Adrien asked if they could stick around.

"No. The officer said we should head straight home, Adrien." Natalie stated.

"Please. I just want to talk to one person." Adrien spoke, " They were behind us in line so they should be coming out soon."

"We will wait ten minutes and not a second more." she declared, "If an officer tells us to leave before the time is up, we will leave."

"Yes, Natalie. Thank you." the model, smiled.

Just before the time was up, Marinette and her parents walked out of the school. Adrien perked up and unbuckled his seatbelt. As he reached for the car door, another car showed up. A guy he had never seen before, quickly walked out of the car and hugged Marinette. He watched as the guy kissed her head before turning to Tom and Sabine. He could barely make out what was being said.

"Let's go, Angel." he said, "Tom and Sabine said I was to take you away for a few days. How are you feeling?"

"Disappointed. I feel nothing." she answered, causing her parents to tear up.

"Where will you go?" he asked her parents.

"We will be closing the bakery for a week." Tom replied, "We'll be with some family memebers."

"I've already gathered her things." he spoke.

"Thank you, Damian." Sabine smiled.

Damian took ahold of Marinette's hand and led her to his car. It didn't take long for them to drive away.

"Adrien." Natalie called out.

"Uh, we-we can go." he whispered, "I'm sorry for wasting your time. I can ask at a later date."

The school was declared closed for a week. No one still knew what was going on until Tvi did a special on their school. It was under investigation. Their principal couldn't show specific footage to the school board or police. He was arrested for money laundering, as he had never updated the school's equipment as he stated he had. Once he was arrested, they began to dig into the footage and found many inconsistencies, regarding some students. Tvi went onto explain there had been expulsions that were never approved of by the board. The board was now frantically expunging records and reaching out to families. During the special, it was announced that a student had been arrested for lying to not only the school, but also the staff. They announced that a few of the students' parents were now suing the young girl as she took money and items from their classmates, claiming to be well connected with celebrities. They had also claimed to put money towards charities of their choice or would help them get their dream job. Dupont was called a school of dreamers and nativity. The class couldn't help but think of Lila, Marinette, and Ms. Bustier. When they had been questioned about Lila, they instantly got defensive and threw Marinette under the bus as a bully. They were quickly finding out, they had made the wrong choice and Marinette was rigth about Lila all along.

Adrien had snuck out and was hoping to meet up with some of the class for answers. He had no idea his father was one of the people suing Lila, once he had learned she had lied on her resume and forged her mother's signature. The model hoped he could talk to Marinette, as well. He never expected to see her outside of a hotel.

"Hey, Marinette!" He called out, "Did you tip off the school board?"

"No." She answered.

"Then, how did they know?" he questioned.

"Because of you." Mari replied.

"Huh?" he asked, not understanding.

"This ended exactly they way you wanted it to." she continued, "You wanted me to let Lila lie and she would catch herself in her own web of lies. Her going to jail, being sued; this is all your fault. All I wanted to do was tell her lying could get her in trouble. I wanted to make sure everyone was cautious about what she said. They could have double checked, knew she lied, and then went along with her lie, for her sake."

Adrien looked at her, surprised.

"This isn't you, Marinette." he replied, full of disappointment.

Mari shrugged, "Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. I don't really know anymore."

"Wh-What do you mean?" Adrien questioned.

"I put up with Chloe, with the teachers looking past my harassment for year, with Lila defaming me." Marinette spoke, "I feel nothing, anymore, Adiren. I don't know how to be happy anymore."

Adrien wasn't sure how to reply, when Damian walked out of the building.

"Are you ready?" Damian asked Marinette.

She nodded her head.

"Wait! Mari-" the model began.

"Go inside." Ordered Damian.

Marinette nodded again and went inside, past the security out front.

"Leave her alone." Damian growled out.

"Who are you?" Questioned the model.

"Her boyfriend." Damian stated.

"No. She would have told Alya and Alya would have told Nino. Nino would have told me." Adrien babbled in shock, "She would have told her best friend-"

"The same 'best friend' that pours drinks on her head and her sketchbook?" Damian retorted, " The same one who trips her in the halls and steps on her hand until she had to wear a brace and couldn't design? The same one who would drop her sisters off without any notice because Lila needed her?"

"That girls isn't friend, Agreste. She is a bully." Damian stated, "My girlfriend is seeing a therapist because of your idiotic high road philosophy. Do you have any idea what it was like to come to Paris, to surprise her, and instead, I find she swallowed a whole bottle of pills! She was dying when I found her."

Adrien paled at the thought.

'Marinette tried to kill herself? I'm to blame for all of this?'

"You almost got her killed. Would you have done the same, seeing as how you were 'in this together' with her?" The Wayne heir continued, "I'd tell you to stay away from her, but her parents signed over guardianship to my father so that she can get out of Paris. She won't even be in the country by Friday. Marinette will get the help she deserves."

"You silenced her. You made her feel useless. You made her feel like trash. You are lucky you have nothing tying you to her harassment or I would be suing you; trust me, I looked." Damian concluded.

"Huh?" Adrien asked, still in disbelief.

Damian rolled his eyes, "I called the board when My Angel was in the hospital. Did you know that Lila isn't even her real name? It's Cerise Lerouch. She is signed up at another school, here in Paris. She was never a transfer student from Italy, just a girl who likes attention. All those 'trips out of the country' was just her going back to her other school because she wasn't 'sick' anymore. In fact, she wore a wig and contacts to your school, every day."

Adrien remained speechless.

The Wayne heiress sighed, "I do not understand what she saw in you."

"Who?" The model questioned.

"Marinette. She was in love with you. I believed I had competition and would have to strive hard to earn her favor. All I ha e seen is a boy who is completely and utterly disappointing. " Damian announced, "Be sure to tell your little friends that the only thing they have done is earn the wrath of the Waynes. Same for the supposed 'best friend'. My family owns her dream job and now she'll never have it. How disappointing for her."

The young Wayne turned away from the model and entered the hotel. After a moment, he tried to run in after him, only to be told 'only people with special clearance were allowed in'.

Unfortunately for Adrien, the entire Lila Disaster had only fueled his father's intentions of keeping him homeschooled. He still kept in contact with Nino, but the others were busy with their own things. Nino had told him Alya had hysterical after learning she was being sued by the Waynes. They were suing her for emotional distress, for all the babysitting she had forced on Marinette. Alya had to pay all the money she never gave Mari, once her parents found out. Marinette had kept a detailed planner listing what times and when Alya had dropped off the twins. She had even recorded the twins, asking what Alya had told them and why they were dropped off. Her parents were upset with her and grounded her for the rest of the year. They weren't going to be able to go out on dates and she was now the twins sole babysitter. Nino recanted how Alya said her family was disappointed in her. They were barely looking at her and the twins kept crying how they preferred Marinette. She had also learned that she was blacklisted from the Daily Planet. After that, she shut down and barely said a word.

Nino went on to explain that he was trying to get music files he had given Lila because she knew some DJs. Other classmates were learning that what she had promised them, wasn't true. Juleka had called her father, Jagged Stone, and asked him about knowing Lila and saving his kitten. She quickly filled him in about her tinnitus disability when he didn't remember her, but he claimed to never own a cat of any sort. Even Jagged Stone was looking to suing Lila. After Juleka told Rose, she quickly emailed Prince Ali and was anxiously waiting for a response back. Ivan and Mylene had given Lila money for charities, but were unlikely to see any of their money back. Nathaniel had given her some art to hold for when she went to America to give to her connections. Nino told Adrien they were signed in invisible ink so it was being looked into.

The class itself was slowly falling apart. Max was worried about his grades and how a new teacher would approach everything so he asked to transfer to a private school. There was no evidence he had participated in the bullying so he had been free to leave. Kim no longer had someone to help him focus so his grades fell and he was cut from the team. Kim no longer bet on anything and was even spending less time with Alix. His relationship with Odine was falling apart. There were whispers of the Mayor being tied with Damocles about the money laundering and hints of an investigation looming over his head. Chloe seemed upset and waas pouting, but never answered what was wrong. It wasn't until later he learned that Sabrina had transferred school to the other side of Paris. Adrien couldn’t believe all the chaos that was caused because one person had lied.

Adrien had finally broken down and cried. Natalie found him and once he had calmed down a bit, she asked him to explain.

"I messed up." he sobbed, "I knew Lila was lying, but I used Father's logic: lies don't hurt people. I didn't think any of this would happen. Marinette tried to commit suicide and is now moving out of Paris. Alya is depressed. Lots of our friends are trying to sue Lila and get their things back. Some changed schools. Others are flunking! I got blamed for Marinette and her boyfriend said ther was nothing to stick to me so he couldn't sue me."

Adrine cried himself to sleep. Natalie informed Gabriel and it was only then he saw how naïve he made his son, by keeping him home. He was grateful that ther was nothing holding Adrien accountable, but he knew he needed to do something fast. He called up his sister-in-law and pleaded with her for Adrien to attend school with his cousin. As much as he hated it, Felix would help beat the naivety out of his son.

Meanwhile, in Gotham, Marinette had moved into the Wayne Manor. All the Waynes had been very welcoming. Damian had even introduced her to Jon; Damian explained that Jon also helped him express his emotions. She had an appointment for a therapist next week.

Why is this chapter very satisfying!?📎⛓️🔗⚙️⛏️

Daminette December 2023: 18-Hiding in the Shadows

Marinette looked around her pent house in Paris. She had everything she wanted as a teenager. Well, almost everything. She was a well-known fashion designer, to the people that were aware of her. She kept her business a secret and used an alias. Her clients all came from judgement on her other clients. Others designers knew her as 'Passion' after her store's brand. Very few knew her as Marinette Dupain-Cheng: Gabriel Agreste, Audrey Bourgeois, and Jagged Stone.

Marinette had enough money to pay her rent, her fabric, all of her equipment, anything a business woman could need. Marinette herself, not so much. She missed being able to walk out and go sit at a café for a bit. When she saw Wayne Enterprise opened a section in Paris, she came up with an idea.

'Wayne Enterprises is a place that usually pays big. Even a part time job should be fine. A little play money couldn't hurt. A few extra euros so I could eat out, get some comfy clothes so I'm not rushing between orders and messing up wouldn't hurt.'

Damian Wayne sat at his desk, looking through potential applicants. Many of them were attached to big names or had one of their own. As he rang background checks, he could see they were all connected to each other in one way or another. He smirked at his idea.

'Let's put on a show. I want to see what kind of people these applicants are around each other. Would they out themselves?'

Mari was escorted to a waiting room as Damian Wayne got through other interviews. When the door opened, the last thing she expected was to see some familiar faces: Chloe, Adrien, and Lila.

"I don't know why you're even here, Dupain-Cheng." Chloe snarled, after the door was closed, "This is a big company that would love to work with our families. You have nothing going for you."

Marinette sat down and smiled, "Is that right? I guess I must have sent the wrong order to your mother and that's why she wore my design down the red carpet at the MET Gala."

Chloe tensed up and refused to meet her gaze. She could tell Adrien and Lila were surprised as well.

Chloe cleared her throat, "You're lying."

"Call your mother and ask." Marinette shrugged, "Oh, that's right! She doesn't like you; she prefers your half sister, who can actually work and living on her own, instead of leeching off of her Daddy."

"This isn't you, Dupain-Cheng." Chloe declared.

"No. This is me." Marinette shrugged off the concerned looks, "I'm just not being forced to coddle you to make Caline Bustier's life easier. 'Oh, just show Chloe some love, so she'll know what it's like and she'll get better eventually. You'll see.' Even she knew you were a horrible person. She basically thought you were The Grinch. That with enough love, your heart would grow three sizes and you wouldn't be such a bitch anymore."

Everyone was speechless at Marinette's attitude. This wasn't the Marinette that they grew up with.

"Chloe Bourgeois." a security voice called.

Chloe held her head high as she walked into the office.

"Damian Wayne." Chloe stated.

"Sit!" he demanded.

Chloe was shocked by his attitude.

'Doesn't he know who I am?'

"Do you know who I am?" she shouted.

"A spoiled brat; Ive read the articles on the internet." Damian stated, "You are known for crying for your father when you don't get what you want. Even though you are the oldest, your half-sister is who your mother relies on to bring customers for Style Queen in New York."

"My father-" Chloe snarled.

"Isn't the mayor anymore. He hasn't been the mayor in three years." the Wayne heir spoke, "If you're thinking of blackmailing me, you chose the wrong person. Spread whatever lies you want or cry to your father, the hotel owner. I could make one post about how horrid his hotel is and he would go out of business. Could you live with that?"

Chloe stood there, speechless. The only person who talked to her like this was her mother.

"I'm in charge, here, and if it came down to it, your job would be scrubbing toilets all day." Damian declared.

Tears formed in Chloe's eyes.

'He's glaring at me, just like Mommy. He doesn't look happy. He looks at me like he wishes I was gone or someone else.'

"We're done here." Damian stated.

Chloe quickly rushed out of the office. The three saw her rushing away, crying.

'I knew she wouldn't last.'

"Marinette, I can't understand why you're like this." Lila spoke, as she took her seat.

'He made that Daddy's Girl cry. I better go at this carefully.'

"Oh, shove it, Lila." Marinette sighed, "All three of us, here, know you're a lying manipulative bitch. You don't have to fake it."

"I don't know-" Lila continued.

"Adrien already told me years ago that he made a deal with you. He made one with me, too. Did he ever tell you that?" Mari questioned.

Lila glanced towards Adrien, who kept his head down.

"Oh, he didn't." she giggled, "You see, I was already designing for Jagged Stone when you arrived to our school. Adrien even had me autograph things I designed for him."

The model had turned towards Adrien and was now glaring at him.

"I could have made your whole 'tinnitus-kitten bullshit' story go up in flames since day one." Mari smiled, "I could have video called him and you would have been labeled as delusional."

"I took all our friends away!" Lila cried out, in victory.

"No." Mari answered, "You took away people, who were finally talking to me. Chleo ensured that for seven years, I had no friends. Those 'friends' just went back to not talking to me. You didn't actually do anything. If anything, you helped me. You took away the class president duties from me and I had more free time. You turned Alya and Nino away, so I couldn't babysit. I designed more clothes and got more clients. You didn't make my life worse, Lila, you made it better."

Lila fumed. Adrien had played peace maker between the both of them. From what Marinette was saying, she could have won the war in an instant! She thought she had chased Marinette Duapin-Cheng out of school all those years ago and here she was smiling, practially laughing at her, saying it wasn't true. She had thanked her and said she made her life better.

'I need this job so I can rub it in her face! I need to win against her!'

"I do hope you at least did some research into Damian Wayne." Marinette stated.

"I've known Damian Wayne since we were children!" Lila announced.

"Is that what it told you, you should say when you looked up how rich his family is?" Mari inquired.

Lila stood up, in rage.

'How dare she!'

"Lila Rossi." security called out.

Lila smirked, "I'm coming."

"She really should have done her research." Marinette spoke out loud.

"Why do you say that?" Adrine asked.

"Lila likes to play off her tears and looks." Mari declared, "Damian Wayne hates going to galas because of girls that try to attach themselves to him."

"And?" Adrien questioned.

"He broke an Italian model's arm two months ago, for lying to him." the designer stated.

Adrien paled at her words. Marinette merely smiled and pulled out her phone and dialed emergency services.

"Hello, what is your emergency?" the voice asked.

"I think we need an ambulance at Wayne Enterprise." Marinette stated, "I think someone's arm is broken."

"Are you with this person?" the voice questioned.

"No." the designer answered.

"I have sent medical to your location." the voice declared, before hanging up.

"That was pretty extreme, Marinette. I have faith in Lila!" Adrien shouted, "I don't think he would do that! The Waynes have an imagine to uphold!"

"Maybe, you should have done your research." Mari shrugged, "You still have time. Maybe five minutes."

Lila sauntered her way into the office.

"Hello, Mr. Wayne." She spoke, calmly.

"Sit." He demanded, not looking up.

Lila waved off his decleration. She moved past the chair in front of his desk and walked her way to his side.

"Can I sit on your lap?" She asked, "You see, I have tinnitus and-"

"There is nothing in here that would activate your tinnitus. Tinnitus is when you can't here anything for a brief amount of time, but a loud ringing. It's usually followed after hearing an extremely loud sound. I should know; I went to medical school." Damian stated.

'Shit. My usual tactics won't work here.'

Lila nodded and made her way back to the seat.

"Why shoud I hire you?" The Wayne heir questioned.

Lila fluttered her lashes, "I'm a model for Gabriel Agreste."

"Former model." Damian interjected, "You now model on Instagram and Only Fans."

Lila turned red. She didn't expect them to aware of her new lifestyle.

"Now, Miss Lerouch-" he continued.

Lila paled, "Wh-What did you call me?"

"Cerise Lerouch." Damian stated, "Did you think I would not delve into your background? I have to know who I am working with."

Cerise quickly leaped up from her seat and rushed around the desk.

"Don't touch me." Damian demanded.

"I'll do anything." Cerise cried out, grabbing onto his arm.

The Wayne heir growled, "Let go."

"I can help you relieve stress in other ways, you know." Cerise pleaded.

Damian grabbed her wrist and twisted it behind her back, harshly. Cerise screamed in pain.

"I have no need for whores." Damian spoke.

He grabbed the back of her shirt, arm still twisted, and walked her to his office door. He grabbed the knob and threw her out, in front of his security team.

"Drag this whore out by the hair, if you have too, but I want her off Wayne Enterprise grounds and blacklisted!" Damian shouted.

"Yes, Mr. Wayne." they spoke simultaneously, as he slammed his door shut.

"Shit, I think her arm is broken." the one on the left declared.

"She would call an ambulance?" the one on the right asked.

"Please, help me! It hurts so much!" Cerise begged, cradling her arm.

"You shouldn't have pissed him off." the one on the right declared, "Damian Wayne isn't one to mess around."

A man rushed towards them with medical workers.

"Did you guys call for an ambulance and someone with a broken arm?" the new guy asked.

"No, but perfect timing." the one on the left stated, "Girl with broken arm right here."

Cerise was walked by the waiting room. Inside, she could see Adrien looked horrified before turning to Marinette. She was smiling at her. Then, the baker's daughter flipped her off.

'She knew! That bitch knew how this would end!'

Cerise burst into tears as she was carted off.

"I guess that just leaves you and me, Agreste." Marinette stated.

Adrien began to feel uncomfortable.

"I do hope you do better than they did." She spoke, "For your Father's sake."

"Huh?" Adrien asked, confused.

"Damian Wayne isn't one to back down, not even to his father. He can make his father bow down to him. You have no idea how......attractive that is to a woman, Adrien." Mari smiled, "A man with a spine."

The model gulped, watching Marinette lick her lips.

"You should grow a spine." she declared, "Maybe then your father won't force you to model for him. I' sure that's why Kagami chose Felix over you. Your cousin has a spine. It looks good on him. Maybe, that's why Kagami didn't take my advice on how to get back with you after the break up."

Adrien only looked at her in shocked.

"Alya told me you broke up and I went to see her." Marinette continued, "I tried to help, but she didn't want to. She said it was better that way and well, Felix and you did look alike as teens. The same face with a spine; kind of hard to resist. They're so happy and their twins are adorable."

"Adrien Agreste, Mr. Wayne will see you now." the voice spoke over the intercom.

The model looked over at the designer. She waved at him, but said nothing. Adrien stood up and stood tall.

Adrien walked into Damian's office. It was intimidating; Marinette was right. He was scarier than his father.

"Why should I hire you, Adrien Agreste?" Damian questioned.

"I hate modeling. I prefer computers and science. I want to break free of Gabriel." Adiren admitted, "You don't have to worry about me telling him anything because I never learned anything about fashion. I couldn't even tell you the names of two different shades of fabric. If anyting, you should hire Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Marinette has always been an amazing designer. She was recognized by Father and Style Queen when she was only thirteen. She's the one who would know everything about fashion."

Damian hid his smirk behind his hand and looked down at the papers about Adrien again.

'What a miracle worker you are, Miss Dupain-Cheng. Agreste grew a spine.'

"We may have an internship available in our science department." Damian spoke, "Do you still live with your father?"

"Yes." Adrien spoke.

"We have a company home we prefer our interns reside in." Damian continued.

He noticed Adrien seemed relieved about that.

"The internship isn't a guarantee." The Wayne heir continued, "We need to see you commitment and dedication first hand. If you can't keep up, we'll put you in a different department. If you keep failing to meet our expectations, you'll have no choice but to keep modeling for your father."

"Tell him we'll work with him for one year, as a test." Damian continued, "You have one year to get your affairs in order. You'll need to move in one month from now and if not, consider the contract cancelled. I will inform them you are expected."

"Thank you." Adrien smiled.

Damian waved him off and Adrine walked out of the office, happy.

Marinette stood up when her name was called. As she walked towards the office, she saw Adrien smiling at a paper. She entered the office and closed the door.

"Please sit Miss Dupain-Cheng." Damian ordered.

Marinette immediately took a seat in front of him.

"Why should I hire you?" He questioned.

Mari shrugged, "You don't really have to."

"Oh?" Damian pushed.

"I'm only here for a part time job." the designer answered, "You know, helping out on the floor, coffee grabber, secretary gig. That sort of thing."

"Excuse me?" he asked, shocked, " Aren't you a fashion designer."

"With my own clients and I can pay for my own things." She smiled.

"Then why are you here?" Damian questioned.

Marinette sat back further in the chair and got comfortable, "Play money. I spend my own on my deisgns, fabrics, equipment, rent. Why not have a little extra to treat myself to a night out or a night in, for once?"

That was not the answer he had been expecting.

Damian laughed, "What if I decide to keep you?"

"Keep me as in?" Marinette pushed.

"I decide I want to become one of your clients." he offered.

"Are you offering?" the designer asked, "I've seen some of those suits you wear to galas and it doesn't bring you out to your full potential."

"And that would be?" he asked.

"You're outshined by your father, your older brothers, and the company." She spoke, "You can stand out, but maybe you want to fade into the back, less people to grope you."

Damian chuckled and stood up from his seat. He made his way around the desk and rested on it.

"What would you dress me in, right now?" Damian questioned.

"Depends." Marinette smiled, "Do you always wear a suit to work or are you interested in a change?"

"Tell me about this hypothetical change." He demanded.

"Ever heard of quick change wear?" She asked.

"No." he replied.

"It mainly takes woman into factor. Clothes that can go from working at the office to going out on a date or partying." Mari answered, "Just a few adjustments and possibly a new shade of makeup and usually people tend to think they took all day to get ready."

Damian took what she said into account, "And for men?"

"Most don't really have the option." Marinette shrugged, "Shame, but on you.....your figure. Well, there's nothing sluttier than a man wearing a sleeveless turtleneck."

The Wayne heir couldn't help but think of his old League of Assassin's outfits.

"No one at work would know if you have a blazer on and buttoned." She continued, "It is your office so you can always install a closet here and keep an extra pair of clothes. Jeans, if you prefer. Who is to say that this whole time, you weren't wearing sweatpants and just dressed from the waist up."

He chuckled ather way of thinking.

'Effective, but true not the less. I could kick out anyone who entered my office, should I choose to dress comfortably, and there was a closet hidden behind the cabinets.'

"Another thing most people tend to do is incorporate their culture into their clothing, as well." Marinette spoke, "Personally, I use apple blossoms in most of my designs for myself."

"Miss Dupain-Cheng, you are not what I was expecting." Damian declared, "I like to expect everything."

Mari smiled, "I've been known to be...unpredictable."

"You want to work part time in the fashion section." The Wayne heir stated, "Even if it's just grabbing coffee or lunch for others."

"Correct." she answered.

"Fine." Damian spoke, "You can work here, part time, at least three days a week. I f you have a big comission, I want to know about it. You can keep the details to yourself, but I want a time frame."

Marinette nodded, happily.

"I also want you to make me something to relax in the office that could pass for office wear." he suggested, "I'll pay for fabric of course. I can send you the details of my heritage via email, later."

Marinette stood up, "I'll start on that and bring it by Friday."

Damian grabbed her hand and kissed it, "I'll see you Monday morning, at 9AM, for work. We can go over your schedule then."

Marinette felt her face flush as his lips connected with her hand. His gaze was piercing.

"Yes, Mr. Wayne." She answered, flustered.

Damian waved his hand, dismissing her, but he still followed her to the door.

"You know, Miss Dupain-Cheng." He whispered, pressing himself to her back, "They may not be able to see it, but I see what lurks in the shadows. I can see what you hide there. I can wait a bit longer for the side of you that wants to come out and play."

"Is that so?" Marinette whispered back.

"I'll enjoy getting to know you, in the future." Damian spoke, before opening the door.

Marinette took a breath before she walked out the door.

"Marinette, did you get the job?" Adrien asked.

"Yes." she answered.

The model sighed in relief, "I told him you were good. I told him about Father and Audrey."

"Did you think I wouldn't be able to get it on my own?" Mari questioned.

"That's not what I meant!" Adrien cried, surprised at the question.

"Then, don't belittle me and my work." Marinette declared, "He already knew who I was. The Wayne keep a check on everyone and everything. Did you seriously not expect him to know about our families? He was probably listening to us in the waiting room."

Adrien gulped in response.

"Besides, I wasn't apart of whatever you three were fighting over." Marinette smiled, walking away.

'What did she mean by that?'

Adrien turned to see Damian Wayne leaning against the door, wearing a smirk on his face. Damian took notice of the model and hardened his gaze. Adrien gulped as Damian stood tall and closed his door again.

'What was he staring at?'

Adrien turned his head back down the corridor and saw Marinette speaking to the receptionist.

'He was after Marinette the whole time!'

'He already knew who I was.'

'He was probably listening to us in the waiting room.'

'Besides, I wasn't apart of whatever you three were fighting over.'

Prompt:

When they turned 25 Kagami and Luka came back and at the four of them finally beat hawkmoth and travelled to the temple so they could protect the miraculous and Kwamis (when the temple was restored after feast all the objects came back but when the guardians came back they rapidly aged so Marinette now had a secret magically fortified temple filled with a bunch of mini gods with only her and her three friends to restore it) at 30 Alix decided enough was enough and that Marinette gave up enough for the world and she deserved to be happy so Alix decided she will go back in time and save Marinette from being depressed and lonely.

She told the Kwamis what she wanted to do and they agreed so they went into the burrow with the Kwamis (only a few so that Marinette wouldn't get too suspicious) and looked at all the possible timelines and made various plans until they decided on one. Alix went back in time to when they were 17 and with Trixx she made herself look like a regular woman in her late twenties and sought out Ladybug and introduced herself as a descendant of a guardian that also escaped the temple being ruined and that she was currently living at the recently restored temple (in this Mari got the miraculous at 15 and became the guardian at around 16 and a half) and was taking care of the Kwamis there and offers to help her with the hawkmoth problem. Mari tentatively agrees and they are asked to help her defeat hawkmoth.

When they win, older Alix teleports them with Kaalki to the temple and teaches them everything that they learned themselves and tells her about the imbalances in the world and the lost Miraculous scattered around the world. At 24 Mari leaves the others to go about their lives and guard the temple while she travels. On her travels she destroys the pits and steals/saves Jason, Damian and a clone that she found(Heretic) that were there because they hadn't left yet. So she heals Jason of the pit madness and now she has three kids, a 17 year old and a pair of 7 year old twins. They travel, she maybe adopts others like Conner and they eventually get to gotham where she meets bruce and they either raise the kids together as friends or as a couple whichever you want.

Part One

Pop Proposal by @nightlychaotic

“What’s your name?” he asked.

“Marinette.”

“Dick. Nice to meet you, have a good day,” he told her, shaking her hand before starting to walk away. She lunged forward catching his wrist, pulling him back.

“Hold on a second. You do not just get to propose and ditch like that.”

Plausible Deniability by @jumpingjoy82

Completely based on Mari Vs Joker… Again by @intercoursefluids

Taking a deep breath, Marinette focused back on everyone, “Joker tripped out of the window, right?”

Receiving a few different confirmations, it took her everything she had to hold on to the straight face Marinette had on when she heard Adrien say, “Tripped over his big ass clown shoes he wishes he could pull off.” But even then, it brought a few smiles among the rest of the crowd.

Surface Pressure by @timinette-is-best

“I am Damian’s sword, I am his armor, and I am his shield.  Nothing you do, no sword, no whip, no torture, and no Lazarus Pit will ever change that.”

Ra’s laughed at her, but Marinette only continued to glare at the man.  Even as the grip around her neck grew tighter, she would never again cower away from him or anyone.

“You may have found some strength, but you forget.  You are the property of The League of Assassins, and that means you will always be mine.”

Losing a Spleen Isn't All Bad by @astrynyx

“My soulmate . . .” Marinette whispers, staring at the tattoo in awe. She was now even more glad that she decided to learn English. “I—”

“SHE’S GONE!” Both Marinette and her soulmate tense, sharing a look. “THE GRAND GUARDIAN HAS ESCAPED!”

“That’s my cue to leave,” Marinette said, scanning the room for an exit.

Zoom Call Fail by @sadpotatoondrugs

Among the many faces she saw in the zoom call, she only paid mind to her teacher. She didn’t bother to watch her own, since she saw no reason to do so.

She should’ve at least checked once in a while.

She might’ve noticed the group of people enter her room if she did.

Daminette Prompts/Fics Recommendation 2

Part Three

Epistle From a Friend by @the-witches-you-couldnt-burn

“He’s an old friend,” she finally decided on, “We used to play together when we were kids, just right around the corner in the park. Usually we played ‘I spy’ even with him referring to it as ‘locate the target’” giggling while thinking about old memories, she continued, “he was always so well spoken, and shorter than me at the time.”

Blind Date by @mochinek0

“Alya, I was there for 45 minutes, not including the time I got there early. I’m obviously not worth his time.” Marinette shrugged.

“Mari-” Alya tried to say something, anything to keep her ship from falling apart.

“No. Besides, I already agreed to a second date.” the upcoming designer blushed.

The String that Binds Us by @kelelamentia

“I-I’m so s-sorry! I didn’t mean to run into you!  The string just yanked and I couldn’t stop!” Marinette rushed out in one gasp.

Before her soulmate could answer her, there were comments from their audience.

“I can’t believe it! Demon Spawn really does have someone at the end of his string and she’s cute!”

“If I wasn’t seeing this for myself I wouldn’t believe it, the Brat has a soulmate! …And very active string?”

A Winter Dance by @aliensunflower-fics

A Winter Dance pt.2

The boy snorted as if reading Adrien’s mind his cool forest green eyes boring into Adrien’s own light green. “Listen I can tell your too dense to realize this on your own so consider this a helpful tip. You clearly think of Marinette as your own princess even if your too stupid to recognize your own feelings but unlike you. I am well aware of how I feel for my angel and plan to woo her. Although I welcome the competition if you think your good enough for her.” The dark haired boy took a step closer his aura menacing and Adrien felt himself involuntarily cower under the deadly look. “But know this. I don’t intend to lose.”

Meeting by @multifandomscribette

He paused to allow Dick to squeal, making it very apparent where Mar’i got her voice from, then continued, “I need to go ring shopping for her and I would like you all to accompany me.”

“Oh my Batman,” Tim whispered, wide eyed and immeditablly completely awake, “Demon Spawn is asking for help!”

“I asked for company,” Damian deadpanned.

“From you that’s basically the same thing,” Jason shot back, to which Damian did not have a convincing reply.

Searching for a Maribat Fanfic. Help?

I have been searching and for so long and for some reason, I can't find it :(

It goes like this. The class goes to Gotham as their Field Trip or smth and they decided to cosplay as the Bats. Marinette dressed up as Robin and it was so convincing that the villains thought she was a new Robin and kidnapped her and called her Robinette. When The Big Bat and Robin came to rescue her Robin was like "You got a new child?! How could you father!!" and Batman was like "I got a new child?? Shit did I forget about them?" or smth along those lines. Finally, Marinette was able to speak and was like "I'm not a Robin!"

That's all I remmeber for that fic. I'm pretty sure it was AO3 and I know for a fact that its not the fanfic-

Who are you calling "Robinette" by Star_Eyed_Moonchild

Tumblr Maribat AU Prompt Recommendations 3

Part One

Lady Noire In Gotham by @unmaskedagain

It was from Tim. “Who… are you?”

“Marinette,” She said as she took a bite of her pancakes.

“She’s our new sister,” Damian declared. Marinette giggled. She had come to Gotham for the chance to train with an actual superhero. Her parents thought she was at camp. “She is a Parisian hero named Lady Noire. Get used to it.”

Jason Todd: Professional Trophy Husband by @bunathebunny & @weirdo-with-no-beardo

"And now that you're out more, what do you do to support your wife?"

Jason clenched his teeth. What did he do to support his wife?

What the fucking hell.

Marinette did everything. She owned her own company, one she built with no help and no support (they hadn't met until years after). And she continued to make millions, and still giving most to charity.

Not My Type by @mochinek0

“It won’t matter if you color your hair or get contacts, I know it’s not the real you.” he spoke, as if reading her thoughts, “They all have a look, but I also look at their personality. They’re kind, giving, strong, helpful, smart, determined.”

“Hey, Lila is all those things!” Mylene shouted.

“But can she kick ass?” Adrien questioned.

“What?” everyone asked.

Bargain by @timinette-is-best

Fulfilled

“Well, what if we make a little bargain?”

A raised brow.

“If I can’t heal you, I will do whatever you want and I will pay for everything that your family may need.”

A pause.

“If I can indeed heal you, all I ask is that I get one dessert made by you.”

Throughout Time, You’ll Always Find Me by @multifandomscribette

“Excuse me,” Marinette said in English, clad in her customary red hoodie and black leggings with matching running shoes - there could be a surprising amount of running involved with time and dimension travel-, “Could you tell me where I am? And what exactly today’s date it is?”

The red clad teen stared at her for a long moment then took another sip of his alarmingly sized travel mug, “Holy Batarangs, I’m hallucinating a cryptid.”]

FRIENDLY REMINDER TO ALL IN THE MARIBAT FANDOM

edit (22.03.09): thanks @izanae for mentioning that this ALSO APPLIES TO AO3

please, when tagging your creations and works, do not use #(insert first name) wayne, #marinette dupain cheng, #miraculous ladybug #dc comics/universe #(insert dc/miraculous ladybug character) solely without the implication of a crossover because this is what gets maribat onto feed recommendations of antis and we don’t want fighting. here is a list of acceptable tags to use, examples of such, and some implications of these. my tags are going to feature some of the acceptable tags to use

# maribat(insert character name)

# maribatdamian wayne

# maribatmarinettedupaincheng

# maribatjasontodd

# maribatlukacouffaine

edit: thanks @legends-live-in-memories for the tip and heads up! so updated version because tumblr has shitty search engines and tagging stuff, it’s better for any mention of characters to have no space because if they have spaces, it includes keywords instead of solely the tag so yeah. this also applies with character x character, do it like characterxcharacter

# maribat

# maribat (whatever)

# maribat quotes

# dc crossover

# (crossover* ship names)

# daminette

# jasonette

# shutterbug

*note the word crossover in this statement. any other word or phrase that is in italics also applies this note. while you are still using the correct ship names and pairings, the whole point of using these specific tags is to avoid and have decent respect for people who genuinely do not enjoy this ship (which they are entitled to). when you are mentioning ships that are only related to one specific fandom (e.g. adrienette, djwifi, damijon, nightfire), either add ‘maribat’ before or after the ship name

# (character) x (character)*

# damianwaynexmarinettedupaincheng

# jasonxmarinette

# timxchloe

# maribatadrienxmarinette

# (insert ramble about maribat or your concept/idea/ff/drabble/hc)

# who the hell asked for timari # actually no one did i just really wanted to write about it # y'all can fight me meet me in the mosh pit # platonic daminette isn’t written about nearly enough without them being siblings # daminette can be platonic too stfu

to be honest, i just inserted this because i love looking at the tags some people write underneath their actual fic

# (insert vague tag in relation to this fic)

# romance

# coffee

# soulmate au

# salt

ok look now i know i said that the point was to stay out of the way of the antis and everything by using specific tags to not bother them but this one is public property. if they try to imply that we maribat content creators and fandom cannot use these types of tags without saying maribat then i guess they’ll have to take it up with every. single. fucking. fandom. there. fucking. is.

hope this was helpful and please for the love of all things fandom follow this because i don’t want another tumblr bloodbath

if you are a person in the maribat community, please spread this. if you are an anti, please spread this (look, mr/ms/mx anti, if you spread this post, people who follow you and are in the maribat fandom will hopefully stop posting this stuff on your feed so win for you, win for us). if you are a person in the dc universe fandom or the mlb universe fandom who just doesn’t give a damn, please spread this. tag the people you know who are even remotely related to any of the topics i have just raised. get the word out so that we don’t step on each other’s toes.

BAMF Marinette Prompts/Fics Recommendations

NeTi by @spooky-z

“FIVE YEARS?” Nino gets up from the couch, indignant. “FIVE YEARS AND I DIDN’T KNOW NOTHING. MARINETTE DID KNOW! EVEN DAMIAN WAYNE KNEW AND I, THE BEST FRIEND DIDNT!” He shouts in frustration.

"Marinette has been dating for almost ten years and I didn’t know.” Alya whispers, still not believing. “I was her best friend and she never told me.”

Marinette’s Week Off by @unmaskedagain

Marinette’s Life (after the Week Off)

Chloe knew bringing Nathanial into their fold had been a smart idea. She sent a vicious smile to the class, “Marinette’s on vacation. She won’t be back until Monday.” Chloe relaxed in her seat. “For her ex-friends; it’s her one week. You should know what that means”

There were gasps. Alya’s face drained of color. They all knew what that meant. Marinette was gone in the wind, and she wouldn’t come back or answer her phone even if fire rained from the sky as furbys finally revealed the truth of their evilness and declared themselves the new rules of earth.

Lantern’s Light by @kibastray

“Marinette Dupain-Cheng of Earth. You have great love in your heart. Welcome to the Star Sapphires.”

“Marinette, are you alright?” Tikki asked.

The little god was obviously worried for her chosen. As she should be with Hawkmoth trying to akumatize her.

Coming to her senses, the teen tried to fight off the negative emotions Hawkmoth was trying to use against her.

‘Wait,’ she shook her head, ‘This isn’t right.’

Hiding the Miraculous by @quicksilversquared

"I know, I know, I wouldn't take them off," Marinette said with a sigh. "It's just... how long will it be until someone realizes that I look like Ladybug and that I never take my earrings off? Like, if they put the pieces together, that would be really bad." She slouched and pouted slightly. "...and I know he probably isn't Hawkmoth and all since he did get akumatized, but Mr. Agreste still gives me the creeps, and he was super-interested in my earrings when I was there as Ladybug when Jackady was after him. I didn't like that."

Kill Them with Kindness by @luki-fanfic

Marinette insists this is different, and Alya tells her it doesn’t matter, because the class likes Lila. While Marinette might insist that Lila is fake, they haven’t seen any reason to disbelieve her.  Like it or not, the class - Alya included – believe everything that Lila has said.

She expects Marinette to growl or groan in frustration.  Possibly throwing up her hands and starting another thousand-words-in-thirty-seconds vent her way regarding Lila.  What she doesn’t see coming, is Marinette freezing in place, her eyes wide in revelation.  When she asks if Marinette is okay, the girl starts laughing, saying something about why she hadn’t realised it before.  She can’t possibly handle Lila, but their class can.

So I've finally found this fic. I asked for help in Ao3 and got scolded, now I know I can't post "can you help find a fic?" works in there. Turns out this fic is part of ricebullet's deleted works so no wonder I had such a hard time finding it. You can't actually read it without downloading it first, so take not of that. This fic is a Maribat fic where it portrays Marinette as the daughter of Robin. There's one for Dick, Jason, Tim and Damian. I actually found the downloadable fic from @miraculousdeletedfics Check it out the other fics in this post, it might interest you.

Searching for a Batman Fic. Help?

The fic I'm looking for is a Parent Jason Todd Ao3 Fic. The beginnings of the fic are hazy for me but I do remember Jason giving up Red Hood because he acquired baby Damian. He moves to Metropolis because it was safer. There he met Kon and adopted him too. Along the way, he adopted 2 more babies, both girls (both oc's). The rest of the Batfam gets suspicious after Red Hood disappears and decides to investigate his whereabouts. They found out about Jason and the babies and decided to spy on him instead of confronting him about it. Jason noticed, because of the numerous baby diapers sent to him, and wondered how far the Bats would go through for the babies, the Bats sent a truckload of toys before Jason haad enough. I rememebered Jason went back to school in this fic

I don't remember if the Batfam was aware of Red Hood being Jason before the investigation or not. But that's it.

Searching for a Maribat Fic (2). Help?

I actually just red this recently but I wasn't able to finish it cause of wifi problems and I couldn't find it again. This is a tumblr fic btw. Marinette is actually an Al Ghul and she ran away around 5 and some years ago because smth bad was gonna happen to her. Talia didn't know why and thought it might've been because she was a girl and thought her father as a hypocrite. After her father died she started searching for her with the League (cause they weren't hypocrites) and found her in Paris, she was gonna give Mari a chance to be a heiress or not and if she didn't want to then she was fine to stay in Paris. She entered Paris with the League and noticed the Miraculi magic, she and the others didn't mind because all they were here for was her daughter not knowing they were gonna come across a war. They came across the Miraculous Team fighting Hawkmoth, throwing his staff at Ladybug, that was turned into a sword.

That's pretty much where I ended before I accidentally lost it. Pls help me, the fic was interesting as far as I red and I want to finish it.

Daminette Ao3 Recommendations

An Email Away by LovelyLore

Chapters: 17/?

Marinette had been startled to find out that her school and a school in America were collaborating to do a pen pal assignment. To be fair, the assignment was suppose to help the students with the grammar of the language they were learning. Marinette pulled a random name out of the box. She hoped Damian wrote good French and that she could write well enough English.

How A Demon Commissions An Angel by AlixAnonymous

Chapters: 19/25

Damian Wayne really needs to get his brothers good Christmas presents or else he may be sent off to the Teen Titans because apparently his people skills "leave much to be desired". Succeeding where his brothers failed, he manages to find out the true identity of their favorite French fashion designer, MDC. Getting her to make their gifts would certainly cement his ability to say. The only problem? Those nonexistent people skills might prove detrimental as his email makes himself an enemy that's quite near her breaking point.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng has had a hard two years to put it lightly. There are no more good days for her, just ones that aren't as bad. The email threatening to expose her, potentially making her already awful situation even more unbearable, comes on one of the worst. Could her reply be the first hint in years of the fire that has been nearly snuffed by her classmates? They both might be surprised to find how much life can change with some well constructed sentences and a couple terribly made aliases.
