Bruce Wayne's Headache Class. System: Sneak Peak 1
“I insist he assigns the blame to me,” grumbles Damian, his mouth twisted in a frustrated frown. “He refuses. The entire scheme was my idea, down to the very verbage used, and yet he still continues to blame Marinette, and refers to her in an uncouth, slanderous manner.  If he continues to insist upon said belligerent name calling I will be taking matters into my own hands and he will find himself contending with my blade.” 
Bruce blinks at the hissed statement. It’s vicious, it’s descriptive, and it wouldn’t be out of place if Talia had said it. The pit of anxiety in his stomach triples. “Against your own brother?” he forces himself to ask, even though he’s pretty sure he knows the answer. 
“I would sell him to Satan for one corn chip,” Damian says, face totally blank, tone serious. Bruce can’t tell if he’s joking or not. “Marinette has done nothing to deserve his name calling. It was a trick, he fell for it, and they lost. He can dislike her.” Damian rolls his eyes and huffs. “Even if I think it is a childish grudge, but the insults will cease or I will make him cease.”
(I swear I'm going to get this damn chapter completed. It's just fighting me. Here's a little something to prove I'm not dead!)

Adrien is the Ken of Daminette and every other existing ship with Marinette
I can't explain why or how, just "I'm just ken, where I see love she sees a friend" fits most of the usual daminette scenarios, OR any other ship.

Secretary!Marinette Part 9 (Idea Dump)
I don't know how many of these I'll do but I'm having so much fun coming up with ideas! Anyways this dump is going to explore Marinette's and Bruce's relationship! Let's start!! Bruce is kinda OOC but... I want a soft Dad-daughter relationship ok. SUE ME.
Bruce is confused most of the time when Mari showed him how much of an overly competent secretary she is.
She somehow knows when he was faking over meetings because he doesn't want to deal with investors and when he doesn't want to go to meetings because of a serious problem.
He's also kinda confused about how a small woman like her hides the strength of a million strong men. He often watches her pick up the largest boxes that probably weigh thrice her weight. She could manhandle him if the situation went awry from rogue, attacks, and lastly, he saw her punch through thick wooden doors before because one of his younger sons was kidnapped for ransom. That was scary, and he had never felt so safe before in his life.
He is also quite confused as to how she could give so much kindness to strangers and expect nothing from it. She often bakes him pastries and made sure that he has enough snacks during his working hour. She often made sure that his outfit is warm enough and he even got a knitted scarf as a gift from her that she knits herself.
He wanted to adopt her after learning about her past. So, he sometimes slips a paper adoption in the files that she was supposed to work on that day and it has become a game for them of some sort.
Bruce is awkward with his feelings and Marinette finds it hilarious. Marinette teaches him a secret handshake and at first, he did it awkwardly, and then it became a habit. Marinette likes to give him huge bear hugs and at first, Bruce did not know what to do. Like the secret handshake, it became a habit.
They both love to troll the Wayne Staff, at first, Bruce tries to stop her from creating chaos, but then he joins in and they made sure to team up to troll pesky business partners, reporters, and even investors alike.
Bruce doesn't know this but it was he who got adopted first by Marinette before he got the chance to adopt her.
The girl treats her like her father that needs help to manage his life. She worries about him when he gets no sleep. She constantly deals with difficult investors or potential business partners to make sure that her dad boss doesn't have to deal with headaches often. She even made sure that those pesky tabloid reporters left him and his family alone.
Like a cub trying to protect her parents, people often pegged her as a ferocious little kitten (because of her small posture) trying to claw away anyone that feels like a threat to her cat dad. Bruce found this amusing.
She knows that Bruce can handle himself but that doesn't mean he has to. If she can do it for him, then she would!
Once, she mistakenly called her dad out of office hours and Bruce had a permanent grin for the rest of the week.
Bruce invited her often for family dinners, which elates Dick because he would make sure to rope her to hang out with him as often as he could, sometimes Marinette would join him in his sitting area quietly gossiping or hearing each other's stories.
She became fast friends with Alfred and would often team up to bully Bruce to take care of himself more. They would inform one another when Bruce is skipping dinners and take turns scolding Bruce.
She ropes Bruce into taking yoga classes and even asked him to garden with her. It became a weekend father-daughter bonding time. Bruce is especially proud of his zucchini and tomato garden. She even helps Bruce with gift shopping for his kids and helps arrange a private family time for him as well. As usual, he would extend the invitation to Mari and sometimes she joins.
When Mari gets very sleepy during winter, he became full-on dad mode. Worrying his daughter secretary every time he noticed how sluggish she became during the cold weather. When Mari unexpectedly hibernates, he panics. ohnomydaughtersuddenlystopsrespondingandbecamereallycoldwhatshouldido???
When Bruce finally realizes that he had been unofficially adopted by Marinette Jason teases him nonstop. When Dick and Marinette start dating, he is elated. When they got engaged he is stoked. When Marinette asked for him to walk her down the aisle, he tears up. When they give him his first grandchild, he cries again.

Ghost Brother Au resurrecting just like our best boy Danny
Le Phantome
My Brain: Okay, so the exact timeline is-- Me: Shut up about the timeline, shut up about the timeline!!
Danny was a member of the Casper High French class when he was in Amity Park. he wasn’t good at it, but it got him by. unfortunately for Danny, he forgot about the Annual Senior Year Trip to Paris.
Danny is working with his parents when Valerie of all people walks into the bakery.
Que spiderman meme
Marinette watches them interact; this is the first person from Danny’s past to ever find him and she’s curious. Is she a friend? An ex-girlfriend? She’s nosy.
They’re thrilled to see each other again, even though Danny is hiding that they know each other from the Dupain-Chengs. Valerie spent the last three years thinking Danny was dead He says that he ran bc he was hiding from the ghost that killed his family, which is true from a certain point of view. They exchange numbers.
Valerie gives his number to Vlad.
Valerie has basically become a full-blown employee of Vlad at this point, still not knowing he’s a half-ghost. Ghosts are still in Amity Park, just not as much in number, probably left over juju from the Fenton portal. Obviously she’s going to report that the boy he’s been looking for for years is in Paris.
Vlad, still a fruitloop and having next to no idea on what actually happened during Ultimate Enemies, is determined to get his soon-to-be son.
What happened from Vlad’s PoV: Danny got caught cheating and the entire family, friends, and teacher met at the Nasty Burger. A ghost--identity unknown--attacks and Danny fights him, but the nasty burger blows up in the process. Everyone dies (and for a while, Vlad thinks Danny died too) and the mysterious ghost is in the wind.
he knows a vague description of the mystery ghost/dan. White flaming hair, black and white suit with a cape, green skin and pointed ears. whoever vlad interrogated didn’t see the phantom symbol on Dan’s chest though
Vlad, instead of being happy that Danny’s been found, is furious. Instead of coming to him after his family died, Danny ran away across the ocean, and even allowed some random people to adopt him!? Even though Vlad’s been trying to find him, even though Vlad was there the entire time!?
He wants his son. Now.
Vlad calls Danny, scaring him, threatening his family. Danny is horrified and furious, but manages to negotiate a meeting, telling Vlad that he’d explain everything. Vlad has reservations at Le Grand Paris at lunch. Danny agrees to go.
Danny tells his parents that he can’t work around noon, he’s eating lunch with someone. Alya is there (sleepover?) and tries to interrogate him about where he’s going and who he’s going with, but Danny shuts it down.
Marinette thinks that he’s going to eat out with Valerie from the other day. Danny’s never dated before (to her knowledge) or even had a crush (again to her knowledge), so Alya convinces her to follow Danny.
Danny dresses himself to the nines, due to the location of their meeting, but takes the time to slip on one of the first bracelets Marinette made for him when he moved it. It’s made of yarn and clay beads, but he loves it. It’s from his new life.
Danny arrives at the restaurant at Le Grand Paris, though he’s there early and takes a seat inside. Alya and Marinette can’t get in at first, but because her mom’s the chef, they get a table nearby.
they’re wearing comically bad disguises, but Danny’s so distracted that he doesn’t notice them.
Chloe spots them and tries to throw a fit, but they fill her in on the deets---aka, Danny’s on a date and they’re spying. I’ve decided that Chloe has a crush on both Danny and Kaitou LeBlanc (non-reciprocated of course), so she’s immediately down to clown with the other girls.
Imagine their confusion when some middle-aged man sits down at the table.
Danny fully intended to tell Vlad what happened. It’s been years, he’s had therapy, but when he tries to tell Vlad... he chokes.
It doesn’t help that Vlad is being a total a-hole about this. Insulting the hotel, the city, Danny’s grasp on the French language (which has improved dramatically, he’s proud to report). Vlad doesn’t particularly care about answers, he wants the son he was promised.
Vlad gives an ultimatum; Danny comes with him willingly and Vlad won’t destroy his family. He’s a powerful man; he can shut down one little bakery, get one girl expelled from school, get two parents arrested for kidnapping. Vlad can ruin them.
It should be noted that Vlad didn’t know about the current situation in Paris. The Mayor had been keeping it quiet. If he’d known, he would have arranged for their conversation to occur outside the boards of the city.
Neither man nor teen notice the butterfly landing on his bracelet.
“Le Phantome, I am Hawkmoth. I will grant you the power to retaliate against the man threatening your family. In return, all I ask is for Ladybug and Chat Noir’s Miraculous.”
Danny knew he should say no. He should fight. But two words slipped out instead. “Yes, Hawkmoth.”
A black, bubbling ooze overtook Danny. In his place was a man with green skin and pointed ears, flaming white hair, and a black and white supersuit with a cape. Almost exactly like Dan.

Other Places the Akuma Class can go besides Gotham, because Gotham is dangerous and no real parent would allow their teenage aged children to go there with only a single chaperone.
-Hollywood Arts Highschool(A lot of the class is artsy and Lila getting thrashed by Jade is funny to me)
-Coolsville(Because Scooby Doo is rad)
-Porkbelly(the Test sisters are cool and would be fascinated with what's happening in France)
-Kokau Town, Hawaii(Marinette and Stich would just be cute)
-Camp Wawanakwa(Total Drama Miraculous)
-South Park(honestly I wanna see Carman and Lila interact, the last time someone "wronged" cartman he fed the guys parents to him so...)
-PK Academy(Saiki is just really funny)
-Oran High School(Tamaki would be fascinated by all the commoners)
-Seiyo Acedemy(Honeslty Amu and Marinette kicking but just sounds cool)
-St. Marie Academy(I can see marinette coming here at least, since St Marie is a Patisserie school)
There's probably a lot more places but I can't think of them atm.

Daminette School AU Quotes
Lila: You know Marinette, it’s such a shame no one likes you, you’re actually quite useful when you know your place.
Marinette: (sighing) Lila, the bar for civility is so low it’s practically a tripping hazard in hell, yet here you are, limbo dancing with the devil.
Lila: (smiling falsely) If you say something like that again, I’ll “trip” you out of that window you- What are you doing?
Marinette: (looking at the window) Checking how high the drop is, see if it’s worth it.
Damian: (sitting behind them on his phone, not looking up) Most humans can survive a two story fall, Dupain-Cheng. You’ll be fine.
Marinette: Aww, Lila wouldn’t make it then?
Lila: (fuming) Excuse me!?
Marinette: He said humans, and since you’ve clearly escaped from hell you’ll probably just shatter into a thousand pieces and reform there.
Damian: (under his breath) The devil doesn’t want her back.

To be honest, I'm amazed that when maribat became a thing a lot of the writers portrayed Damian as the flirty one, the one who initiated shit, I'm trying to get into more depths of his character and I'm just having a giggle because that boy seems like very far off from being a flirt.
Maybe that's why I usually portray Marinette starting stuff in my scenarios.
I'm having a good chuckle remembering that one scene where she's sending a voice memo to Adrien and she calls him "hot-stuff", I'm thinking something similar would happen with Damian and Mari if the universe was relatively canon.
TLDR: Marinette wears the pants in their relationship.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bruce Wayne sighed heavily, he could feel a telltale headache coming from miles away. His personal assistant had given him a letter of notice and he had now just figured out how dependent he is on his assistant. Fortunately, he managed to beg, yes he had to beg, his assistant to wait until he could find someone to replace them.
Not to mention the death of his son, Jason, had hit him hard. He admits that he was too late but really what can he do? He wants to kill the Joker but that would mean going against his code. And killing the Joker wouldn't bring Jason back, no matter how much he wanted to bring him back.
Now, he has another son that somehow found out his identity and actually picked up the pieces and demands he takes the kid as the new Robin. Bruce is slowly moving on but the thought of his dead son is still a heartache that he wasn't sure would heal. Dick is trying his best but even he knows that the boy is falling apart.
He sighed heavily, he was tired and lost. Everything constant in his life is changing, slowly but surely and he is not ready. His head began to pound and he tried to soothe it by massaging the bridge of his nose.
His headache came again at the same time his phone rang and that almost made him whine. He picked up the call and cleared his throat. "This is Bruce Wayne speaking."
"Bruce darling! How are you on this fine evening?"
"Audrey...Why did you call?"
"Such coldness from you! Is Brucie Wayne a fake all this time? I'm hurt!"
Bruce groaned out, his head pounding like crazy, "I don't have time for this, Audrey. My assistant gave me their letter of notice days ago and I haven't found a replacement yet. If you have, Oh I don't know, a perfectly reliable assistant laying around in your office then I suggest we end this call because I am this close to breaking my phone for the tenth time."
She laughed at his misery. He could feel his eye twitch.
"I'm hanging up." Why he became friends with Audrey Bourgeois was always one of the many questions he has in his life. Somehow, the bossy blonde decided in Highschool that she would be friends with Bruce and she had stuck to that promise ever since. Honestly, Bruce has learned to not question the way of the universe.
"Wait!" She snorts and finally took a deep breath to compose herself.
"I might have answers for your predicament! My apprentice/assistant/secretary is looking for a new mentor! One that could teach her the ways of a big business should operate! Perhaps, I can introduce you to her!" She offered between her giggles.
Bruce frowned, to be completely honest he had done many interviews and none of the candidates is the perfect assistant that could replace them, he had nothing to lose. "I'm interested."
"Good, I'll schedule a dinner for the three of us at some point during your gala week."
"I hope you're not pranking me again. I had enough grievances lately that'll last a while."
Audrey laughed again at his misery. Why was he friends with this designer again? Right, she ordered him to be one.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marinette made sure that everything had been acquainted before she and Audrey leave Paris for the Wayne Gala. She made sure that the Secretaries of every division in the company know what was going to happen when she was gone for the week.
Fortunately for her, everyone in Style Queen respects her and her decision-making skills. How could they not? She was one of the reasons why Style Queen had been advancing at rapid speed during those 3 years when she became a permanent team member.
No messed up meetings, their profit margin had increased, their designs were always at the top of the chart, their galas were always a hit, and their fashion show had become one of the most awaited fashion shows in years, and to top it all off there has been zero firing and quitting during those 3 years. They didn't even need to pay for extra therapists for the emotional damage caused by Audrey!
A miracle? Yes. A blessing from the Gods? Definitely. Is Marinette the Messiah that the Style Queen company had been waiting for? Most Definitely.
Did the Style Queen employees made a cult to worship the ground that Marinette walks on? Allegedly.
Anyways, after confirming the things that needed to be done she called for a staff assembly and hand them folders as well as pdf files in USB about their schedule for the next week. She made sure that if anything happened in the company while she was away to immediately contact her.
Now, she stood in front of Audrey while listing off the things that should be done during their week in Gotham.
"Right Mme Bourgeois. our agenda during our week in Gotham is as follows, Monday, we'll check on our branch in Gotham, I also book that dinner with M Wayne at 7 p.m. Tuesday, we have a photoshoot in Gotham Garden, I also made sure to up the security in case the rogues decided to attack and a failsafe location outside Gotham so that we can continue our shoot peacefully.
Tuesday night will be your fitting for your gown and we will be doing that in your room. Wednesday will be reserved fully for the progress report with our company. Thursday will be reserved for the Wayne family fitting as well which will be done in the afternoon. I made sure to clear Friday and Saturday morning to afternoon. Saturday night is the gala and Sunday we will board the plane to Paris." Marinette finished while rechecking the schedule on her tablet.
"Fabulous! I know I can always count on you Marinette!" Audrey clapped her perfectly manicured hands and winked at her secretary.
"Of course, Are there any problems that you would like to point out from the schedule?"
"Non," Audrey answered nonchalantly. "So, Marinette. Have you made up your mind about what I said days ago?"
Marinette puts away her tablet and fixed the pink-rimmed horse kwami glasses that she decides to take today to match her outfit. "Actually, I did. You are right Madame, I need to spread my wings and take a leap of faith."
"Excellent! You will be coming to the dinner on Monday, yes?"
"I- Yes, you did order me to attend the dinner with M Wayne."
"Good! Now, have the rest of the day off! I shall see you tomorrow evening, yes?"
Marinette blinked slowly, "Yes, Madame. Uh... thank you." She bowed shortly and left the office without another word. She could actually feel that Audrey was planning something behind her back and she doesn't want to know what her plans were.
Well, a whole afternoon off, is a rare thing to occur. "Should I spend the rest of the day holed up in my apartment sketching or holed up in my regular cafe sketching?" She asked Kaalki who was hiding in her breast pocket.
"Why not take a stroll in the park? The weather is great today, Guardian!"
"An astounding idea! Let's go!" She cheered and made a brisk walk to her office. She packed up her things, say a few goodbyes to the staff that she met along the way, and left the building. She quickly made her way to a cafe nearby, bought herself a coffee strong enough that she was sure it could raise a dead body and walked to the park that Kaalki had mentioned.
There was an open seat near the park's walking trek and immediately bee-lined her way there, took out her sketchbook, and let the horse kwami make a comfortable perch on her lap. As the Great Guardian, she had managed to find the right spell to mask the kwami's presence with a layered illusion, even a former holder couldn't spot them since Marinette willed it so.
"So, Grand Guardian...Who is this Wayne person?"
Marinette hummed for a moment, trying to find the right answer. "Well, he's a businessman, he owns a multibillion company called the Wayne Enterprise, it has many branches across the world and they have many divisions as well, though none of them focuses on fashion. Which is unfortunate but I digress." She explained patiently.
"Whoaa, is he rich then??" Kaalki gushed excitedly.
"Well, he is a millionaire think he's going to be a billionaire soon. So yeah, I think you can call him rich."
The aristocratic kwami gasped loudly, "You should have him as your mentor! You could be a millionaire too!"
Marinette laughed merrily, "I don't think that's how it works but I'll consider that."
"Oh Guardian, I can already sense it! It must be fate! Perhaps you can even marry the man!"
The designer was drinking her coffee and spitting it out when she heard the kwami's excited ramble. She coughed a few times trying to regain her composure, "K-kaalki, that man is old enough to be my father! Besides, he has kids already!"
"What about his kids then?"
"A- K-kaalki! You will stay out of my romantic life! I-i can find a suitable person to date!"
Kaalki gave her a deadpanned look, "Yeah, uh-huh sure you do."
"Kaalkiii!!!" Marinette whined exasperatedly. "Can we please stop this conversation??"
The kwami just giggled and made themselves comfortable on her lap. Marinette huffed and rubbed her face tiredly, yeah she knows that her love life had been a disaster but she didn't need the little creature gods to butt in. She's perfectly fine on her own, sure it's lonely but if she has work to do it distracts her from feeling that loneliness.
Honestly, dating one of the Wayne kids. That's a laugh!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marinette sighed as she rolled her neck and heard a few pops from it. Traveling to Gotham is a pain in the ass and she hopes she doesn't have to do it again anytime soon. She had brought a couple of kwamis with her for the trip, not that she wanted to use them to gallop across the roof of Gotham City as a hero or vigilante, she just didn't want to leave them at home alone.
She was wearing the dragon's choker, Tikki's earrings, and the turtle's bracelet that she had charmed to change the designs so that it'll fit with her outfit. Wayzz gave her a wave of comforting magic towards their bond and Marinette stroked the bracelet gently in gratitude.
Thankfully, everything went smoothly. Marinette made sure the hotel room for Audrey is good enough for the bossy queen and after that she could finally throw herself on her hotel bed. Her head was pounding but she still picked herself up and began to unpack.
"Marinette! This town is oozing with an unlucky aura and chaos! I think Kaalki was on to something when she said something about fate!" Exclaimed Tikki as she observes the city through the glass.
"I told you!" Kaalki yelled from the other side of the room.
Marinette frowns to herself and decided to flare her magic to get a better sense of the City of Crime. Yep, Tikki was right, everything is oozing with bad luck miasma, and darkness surrounding parts of the city. Everything is gloomy and depressing, no wonder the people of Gotham are miserable.
"You're right, Tikki." She stood from the floor and walked to the big window overseeing the city. "It's coated with Bad Luck and Chaos."
"We should stay here and purify this mess!" Pollen offered while floating next to Marinette's head.
"I don't think we should be that rash. Let's see what fate got for us. In the meantime, does anyone wants to go with me to buy snacks?"
A series of 'yes' from the childish gods made her head lighter than before.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday starts out as a pleasant day for her, she managed to make all the snacks for the kwamis and bake the pastries that Audrey love so much for breakfast. Everything was smooth and it lifted Marinette's spirit. There was no schedule for today morning and Marinette debated to herself if she wants to go out and find inspiration for her design or not.
There's something about Gotham that made her blood pump in adrenaline and she's pretty sure it is her innate guardian magic telling her to go ahead and purify the city. She looked at the kwamis who are lounging and made up her mind.
"Hey Plagg, Do you want to come with me and explore Gotham before dinner?"
The cat kwami in question brighten up and zoomed across the room in excitement. "Alright!!! Let's enjoy the day with extra CHAOS!"
Marinette laughs and took off Tikki's earrings to put on Plagg's ring. She took her large canvas bag, her sketchbook, and her art supply. She made sure the kwamis are comfortable enough and told them to not make a mess when she was out.
Once she's out, with Plagg securely in her bag, she trusted her instinct and found herself entering a park. It was a nice day and looking around at the different architecture near the park she found herself an empty seat nearby. She lets Plagg perch himself on her shoulder while she dug out her sketchbook and start sketching away her ideas.
Not long after that she felt someone took a seat next to her, she glanced to her side and found a man nearing his 40s slumping next to her. She could feel the sorrow and sadness lingering around the man and Marinette being Marinette couldn't sit still.
Marinette could've sworn the man looked familiar and even though she became a very competent assistant to Audrey, she couldn't for the love of God remember the faces she had seen before. If they are known figures in the fashion world, she might recognize them but otherwise, she would forget them, rich or not.
The girl closed her sketchbook, which the man took notice of.
"I'm sorry, I'm not bothering you, am I?" He asked with a polite smile.
The girl shook her head and smiled warmly at the man, "Non, monsieur. I just couldn't help but notice how sad you are."
The man blinked, obviously shocked at her, and gave her a small weak smile. "I guess you can say that..." He chuckled mirthlessly.
Marinette hummed, "Are you grieving?" She asked quietly.
The man looked towards the park and she could see the dark aura around him seemingly trying to choke the man. He nodded silently and took a shaky breath. "My son." He muttered quietly.
She nodded in silence, she rummaged through her canvas bag and took out a charmed amulet that she had been working on with Master Fu before his passing. She looked away from the amulet and found Plagg giving her an encouraging smile. She knew that this was the right thing to do and so she cupped the amulet in her hands and said, "I'm sorry for your loss...No parents should bury their children."
The man sniffed and nodded, "Thank you."
"Though you have to walk this winding road, stumbling blindly in this dark path, there will always be a path of light that will help you find your way." She advised with a warm smile. Master Fu had told her that when she was grieving for the loss of her friendship and the weight she had to carry as Ladybug.
Slowly she reached out to take his hand and gently put the charmed amulet in it. "You just need to do the next right thing." She uttered softly and sent waves of comforting magic to the amulet. Hoping that it would lift the man's spirit and help him find hope. She then took her bag and left the man staring at the amulet.
Marinette quickly left the park and bought herself a coffee before returning to her hotel where she gets ready for dinner. Her heart felt full knowing she helped someone even if it was just a little bit. She hoped that one act of random kindness could lift a little bit of the bad luck aura in Gotham.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bruce Wayne just wanted time to compose himself. He had a lapse of grieving thoughts when he looked at Jason's picture. So he left his office to find a place where he could grieve freely. The mansion still has memories of Jason and he couldn't stand the guilt that is eating him inside. He found a nearby park and took a seat next to a young woman who was busy sketching. He didn't really expect anything would come out of this walk in the park, but he was pleasantly surprised that the young woman beside him had given him a random act of kindness that had left him a bit speechless.
He was looking at the emerald amulet on his hand and somehow he felt lighter than he ever felt in the past few months. Odd. He decided to bench any negative thoughts to ready himself for the dinner reservation tonight.

Safety Found in Red Sleeves
Chapter 11
Thana and her friends stared up at the massive building, Thana’s eyes going from the side of the building to the gargoyles at the top of the building.
“I expected, something… more.” Chloé pouted at the building and crossed her arms over her chest.
“Not everyone lives in the most luxurious hotel in Paris Chlo.” Adrien reminded his childhood best friend. “Just because you did doesn’t mean that everyone had the same experiences.”
“Thomas and Martha Wayne didn’t want the WE building to seem imposing, they specifically designed it to seem welcoming to passersby. I’ve heard rumors that Mr. Wayne is thinking about remodeling the building to make it more modern, I just hope he keeps the gargoyles.”
“You and I both, Hood.” A tall African-American teen slung an arm around Thana’s shoulders with an easy smile on his face. “What’re you doing in the city?”
“School trip. How’s yer Ma?”
“Ma’s still slaving away at General. Who’re yer friends?”
“Oh! Brandon, these’re my friends. The pretty blonde is Chloé, the less pretty blond is Adrien, the pink-haired one is Alix, the tall one is Kim and the one with the headphones is Nino.” Thana waved her hand at her friends before turning her attention back to Brandon. “What’re you doing here?”
“I took one for the team and shelled out. I got a job with WE to help Ma with the bills.”
Thana nodded, looking pensive, before leaning against his side. “I’m sure yer Ma appreciates yer help, even if she might not understand why ye’ve done it.”
“Excuse me.” Mlle. Bustier called across the group. “If we could all turn our attention towards the building, we could get started with our tour.” Lila and Alya hid snickers behind their hands as Mlle. Bustier eyed Thana.
Kim frowned and stepped between Mlle. Bustier and Thana, turning just so to completely block Thana from her eye line. “Don’t worry Mèo con.”
Brandon rolled his eyes at the teacher and shook out his hands. “So, I’ll see you kids in there. Right?” His face broke out in a grin. “After all, I am your tour guide for this. That is my job.” Brandon broke away from the group of friends, waving over his shoulder as he pulled his ID badge out of his coat pocket.
Adrien, Alix, and Chloé shook their heads, not understanding why anyone would want to work for someone else’s parent’s company. Kim, Nino, and Thana exchanged glances before sighing at their friends.
Mlle. Bustier clapped to regain the class’s attention, and when all eyes were back on her she smiled. “Alright, everyone. Let’s go in.”
The class, led by Mlle. Bustier, walked into the lobby of the WE building. They congregated around the front desk while they waited to be checked in. Several students took out their phones and started scrolling through their various socials, while some of the girls, most notably Lila, Alya, and Rose, started taking pictures.
“I think Ali will like the pictures of their various accomplishments.” Juleka offered Rose when Rose’s phone was suddenly thrust in front of Juleka’s face.
The individual at the front desk finished checking them in, with minimal help from Mlle. Bustier and help from Thana, before motioning for Brandon, who was leaning against a wall not too far away, to come closer.
Brandon approached the group with a smile. “Hello, I hope everyone is doing well on this gloomy Gotham day. My name is Brandon Taylor and I will be your tour guide today. Before we begin,” Brandon grabbed a clear plastic tote off of the desk filled with white “VISITOR” badges, “can everyone come up and grab one of these badges? These badges grant access to all common areas, like the canteen or cafeteria and the bathrooms, as well as a conference room.”
The class approached to collect a badge, nobody pushing anybody under the watchful eye of this supposed stranger. When they had all affixed their badges to the outermost layer of their clothing, to indicate they were a visitor, they all gave their attention to the tour guide.
“Now that everyone has a badge, are there any questions before we get down to business?” Brandon looked over the group and answered all of the easy questions. Finally, it got down to the last of the questions and they could start their tour.
---
Nothing really eventful happened during their tour, everyone keeping their hands to themselves and nobody speaking out of turn, and eventually they gathered in the canteen for lunch.
Brandon led them into the canteen, waiting until the group had made a semicircle around him before beginning. “This is the canteen. While you’re here, the CEO, Mr. Drake-Wayne, has stated that you shall receive all of the same perks that the employees do, meaning lunch is on the company.”
The class cheered and started excitedly talking to one another. The sound in the room seemed to swell with all of the additional voices and, in the middle of the room, one individual lowered their head and covered their ears with their hands.
Thana and her friends split from the class to collect their food and sit at one of the free tables. The tables closest to them were filled with WE employees while the rest of the class sat as far away from them as they possibly could. Brandon, as well as several other employees, watched how the class interacted, and watched as the teacher seemed to be oblivious to it all.
“So, what do you think of WE?” Brandon sat down at the table Thana and her friends had sat at and looked around at the six of them.
“It’s pretty cool,” Alix admitted, “I like the gergoyles on the building.”
“The gargoyles were originally put on the building by Alan Wayne in 1888. There are-” Brandon began before Thana cut him off.
“-Thirteen gargoyles. Five on the first tier who watch the five original ways into Gotham, seven more are higher up watching the seven train lines and the final one is way high up facing the airport.”

News spread quickly throughout the Asylum after the series of visits Jerome had before his release, because Cluemaster gossiped worse than his daughter. Everyone who was in the Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane while Jerome was getting ready to be released knew that Hatter’s Girl was back in town and that under no circumstances was Hatter to be around her or all of her aunts and uncles would make whomever was responsible regret it. That is to say, nothing much really changed at the asylum.
Outside of the asylum however, some people cleaned up their acts and other people, other people got worse. People who knew that Hatter’s Girl was back and had plans for how to use the only weakness Red Hood had against him seemed to flock together. People who knew that Hatter’s Girl was the only weakness the Penguin had were quivering in their boots as the people seemed to forget that Penguin and Red Hood were some of the deadliest people when those they held dearest were threatened.
It was only a few short days, nary a week, before Jerome was released and his plans could commence. His plans were simple, get a real job and figure out how he was going to convince his dearest, darling niece to stay in Gotham. He had faith in all of his friends and through their combined effort he was sure they would be able to beg her to stay, and if not stay then at least stay in contact. Jerome was sure she had missed them all as much as they had missed her in her absence.
Jason, however, on the other side of town, was dancing around his kitchen with his son while his brothers and sisters looked on from the counters and the living room.
Duke had never seen a scene so domestic, not even when his parents were alive. He couldn’t believe he got to experience this magical moment.
Dick could barely remember ever seeing his first baby brother being so soft. He was reminded, distinctly, of those first few nights after Bruce brought him home when Jason would follow Alfred and Bruce around like a lost little puppy.
Tim, Steph, and Cass shared a glance. They had never been doted on by their parents like Jason doted on Damian. They would do everything in their power to keep them together and help the family find a bigger place because they were slowly outgrowing the three bedroom apartment.
---
Jason had noticed that his siblings were up to something, something devious. Tim refused to leave his laptop open when Jason walked into the same room as him, Cass and Steph would simply stop signing when Jason got close to them. He didn’t know why, but he felt like they were up to something nefarious and he needed to get to the bottom of it.
Dick, on the other hand, kept assuring him that this was normal little sibling behaviour. Jason didn’t feel reassured by that in the slightest, knowing how much of a little shit he had been at their ages, even if Cass was technically older than him. Mostly, Jason just wanted his siblings to tell him what they were up to because most days he felt more like a proud dad than a proud older brother.
It was a couple of hours after Dick and Jason’s conversation when Tim, Steph, and Cass called a family meeting in the living room. The three of them stood in front of the TV, the title page to a slideshow on screen, while they waited for Dick, Jason, Damian, and Duke to sit down.
“Thank you all for coming here today,” Steph began, “we had a proposition for you all.”
Cass held Tim’s laptop and got to press the buttons to make the slideshow work, as she didn’t feel like talking. She pressed the space bar to go to the next slide, a picture of a house surrounded by trees.
“We have been thinking lately that we need a bigger home, so, we found one. It’s in Old Gotham, by The Hill, and it’s this beautiful sprawling ranch house.” Steph started with a glance across her siblings’ faces.
“It’s safe, we checked, and B never patrols by it. It’s technically on Dick’s patrol route but he hasn’t gone past it lately.” Tim filled in while Cass pressed the space bar again. “It’s technically five bedrooms but we all know we’re only really going to use one of them.”
“There’s plenty of space for everyone, even Thana. Mama Selina or Alfred could even stay over when they want to.” Steph looped her arm around Tim’s shoulders and smiled at Cass. “We figured out how to do this for the family, let us, please.”
Cass nodded before pressing the space bar again to display a picture of the backyard off of the alfresco. The yard was filled with plants and trees with plenty of space for their family to do things outside. There was room for them to grow and for Damian to play. Cass watched them all melt, there was room for everyone, even Wally and his kids, even Mar’i.
“I was thinking, we could put in playground equipment, for the littles, but also for us. Mar’i could fly on the monkeybars and Jai and Irey could zip around the yard and Damian could climb to the top of the slide and declare himself the ruler. I promise we have thought this through and we know this is what’s right for us.” Tim’s words were accompanied by the next slide.
The slide featured the same picture from the previous slide but with monkeybars and a slide edited in, the yard was teeming with life and Dick could see it. The picture they had painted with their words, they could have family picnics back there.
“I’m sold.” Duke proclaimed with a smile. “This sounds like a dream.”
“I ditto that. I think we deserve a home and not just a house.” Dick looked at his little brother and could see the hope in his eyes.

3) Kuro Koshka by The_world_is_crazy
Summary: Plagg is done. He had been patient with Adrien, even if he is not his true chosen. He had been patient with his mistakes and his naivety, but he cannot do this anymore. Adrien's actions became worse and worse. Making sugarcube's chosen cry is the last straw. Looks like it's time for a change, starting with his chosen.
Nekozawa Umehito has no clue why he agreed to go to Paris, of all places. The idea of becoming a superhero is not the reason, no, he is more interested on the idea of using a more powerful magic. And maybe that strangely cute girl helps a little.

Izuku doesn’t know what to think of his blunt, rather emotionally stunted cousin, nor his strict aunt, but he finds Paris to be interesting. He is introduced to Agreste Ad- no, Adrien Agreste, he really must remember the names are backwards now, and they all enroll in the public school. School, where Izuku meets so many interesting and wonderful people, including Marinette, who is also quirkless like him, but so much more confident than he is. Can he be like her?

6) Nekomata by TheAuthorsAgenda
Summary: “W-who are you?” Izuku asked. No one was supposed to be here, he was supposed to be alone when he jumped, he didn’t want to burden anyone with the memories of seeing him jump.
Her smile was kind and calm, if a bit melancholic and nostalgic as she looked at him like he wasn’t about to jump off the roof and kill himself before she interrupted.
“My name is Marinette Dupain-Cheng, and I’ve been looking for you for a long time… Kitty.”
Crossover: Miraculous Ladybug x My Hero Academia
