Chapter 6: Are You An Angel or The Spawn of Satan?

·•·—–·•†•·–—·•·

Marinette woke up early the next morning to greet Frank and the other plants. She spent the morning with her family and had started walking Bud and Lou when she got a message from her GGC(Gotham Group Chat)

~·•·–—·•·—–·•·~

Animal King-dumb: WAZZUUUUUUP!!!

Shadow Mage: Welcome Back.

Quinn Of Mayhem: Wazuuuuuuup! and I’m glad to be back, so, anything exciting happen while I was gone?

Animal King-dumb: It’s been waaaaay boring without you here.

Shadow Mage: He’s been fighting Robin almost every day.

Quinn Of Mayhem: … Explain.

Animal King-dumb: … (᯾ ☾︎•☽︎_☾︎•☽︎)

Shadow Mage: He blames Robin for making you leave Gotham.

Animal King-dumb: Traitor!

Quinn Of Mayhem: I’m gone for 4 months, and you still can’t get along?

Animal King-dumb: … He started it!

Shadow Mage: That’s what she said. Anyway you up for meeting at the usual spot? We got a surprise for you.

Animal King-dumb: Hey!

Quinn Of Mayhem: Sure, just let me finish walking Bud and Lou, and I’ll head over.

Shadow Mage: See you soon.

Animal King-dumb: Don’t ignore me!!!

~·•·–—·•·—–·•·~

Marinette finished walking Bud and Lou, told her moms and aunt she was going out for the day and headed to the usual spot.

When she got to the spot she was engulfed in a bone crushing hug from Garfield

“Mari’s back! Yeah! Now we can play the new UMS3 that came out!” - Garfield

“We have to get to the Tower first.” - Rachel

“What Tower?” - Marinette

“We’re taking you to Titan Tower!” - Garfield

“It’s our ‘Welcome Back’ gift to you.” - Rachel

“… Does that mean…” - Marinette getting excited

“Yup!” - Garfield

“ZETA-TUBE!!/ Pizza!!!!” - Marinette/Garfield

“Yes, Zeta-… We practiced this and yet you still say pizza.” - Rachel looking at Garfield

“Pizza’s good, and so are Zeta-Tubes!!” - Marinette

“Yeah!” - Garfield

They started walking and after about 10 minutes, they arrived at a wearhouse. Once they entered, they walked to the back wall, Marinette watched as Rachel used some magic to open a secret passage. When they went inside Marinette saw the tech filled room, with the glorious Zeta-Tube in the center. She stared at the Zeta-Tube, watching as it began to power up.

“Alright, it’s ready, but first.” - Rachel made a circular motion with her finger as she mumbled something under her breath, and in a flash of purple she was now dressed as Raven.

“That was awesome!” - Marinette admired the cloak Raven had as they stepped closer to the Zeta-Tube. It began to open, preparing to send them to Titan Tower in Jump City

“… Did I ever tell you how Cy became a cyborg?” - Beastboy with a mischievous smile

“No, how?” - Marinette turned her head to look at Beastboy

“It was from a Zeta-Tube.” - Beastboy placed his arms behind his head as he calmy spoke

“WHAT?!-” - Marinette’s shout echoed for a moment before they were Zeta beamed away.

……… ……… ………

Marinette slowly looked around the room, and sighed in relief when she saw all her limbs attached.

“… See? Nothing happened, honestly, you’re such a scaredy c-ahk!” - Beastboy was instantly put in a headlock by Marinette.

“You jerk! I thought I was actually going to lose a limb! What’s wrong with you?!” - Marinette tightening her grip as she pins Beastboy to the floor

“Uncle!… u-uncle…!” - Beastboy flailed his one free arm in an attempt to get Marinette off him, but it was to no avail.

“What is the meaning of your commotion?” - Starfire walked in, only to see a dark haired girl she assumed was the friend that was to visit today, holding Beastboy in a death lock on the floor while Raven recorded it.

“Pl..eee..ase! Help…! Sta…ref…ire!!!… she’s… kil…ling…me!!!!!!!” - Beastboy streched his only free arm out in the direction Starfire was standing, which caused Marinette to stop and realize she was making a scene.

“I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to disturb you!” - Marinette instantly got off of Beastboy as Raven stopped recording, and Beastboy finally got air back in his lungs

“He had it coming.” - Rachel putting her phone away

“No I didn’t!” - Beastboy started arguing with Raven as Starfire approached Marinette

“Please, there is no need to be sorry. May I ask of your name?” - Starfire smiled gently at Marinette as she spoke

“My name is Marinette, it is a pleasure to meet you.” - Marinette replied with a smile as she looked up at Starfire

“And I you. I am Starfire, please come with me to the living room.” - Starfire lead Marinette to the living room, soon followed by Raven and a now calm Beastboy

When they entered the room Marinette’s eyes instantly fell onto the big screen TV. She quickly realized the other people in the living room were playing Ultimate Mecha Strike 3.

“I Win, wait for it… Again! Time to pay up you two!” - Nightstar streched out her hand as Robin and Cyborg begrudgingly handed her a 5 dollar bill.

“Thank you very much.” -  Nightstar

“Tt. This game is clearly defective.” - Robin

“There’s no way you can win a 2v1 like that without hacks.” - Cyborg

“Hehehe, Nightstar is unbeatable!” - Nightstar then put her money in a jar on the coffee table

“We shall see.” - Raven

“Is that a challenge?” - Nightstar turned around, quickly spotting the girl she assumed was Beastboy’s friend, Marinette.

“You brought a civilian here?” - Robin was clearly not happy

“We said we were bringing my friend over.” - Beastboy

“Our, friend.” - Raven corrected Beastboy

“No you didn’t.” - Robin with a scowl that would make his father proud

“Hold up! Did you just acknowledge her as your friend?!” - Cyborg

“… Anyway, yes we said we were bringing a friend… we just didn’t tell you specifically that she was coming.” - Raven ignoring Cyborg

“She can’t stay- ” - Robin was quickly interrupted by Nightstar jumping onto the backrest of the couch

“I challenge you, Lady Marinette, said champion of the Ultimate Mecha Strike games, and friend of Beastboy and Raven, to a battle to the dealth in Ultimate Mecha Strike 3, Gotham Addition!” - Nightstar pointed at Marinette as she stood on the couch

“… Sure, but can I look at the controls first?” - Marinette made her way over to the couch

“Of course, but it won’t help you defeat me in the end.” - Nightstar plopped herself back onto the couch as she grabbed her controller, and handed one to Marinette

“So, is there a bet system you use or?” - Marinette

“You’re new, so we won’t add the 5 dollar winners fee.” - Nightstar getting comfortable in her spot

“Okay.” - Marinette quickly memorized all the combos for most of the characters

“Alright, let’s choose our characters!” - Nightstar quickly selected Startfire as her character

“… I’ll go with this one.” - Marinette chose Harley Quinn, seeing as one of her combos was pretty op.

“You’re choosing her? All her movesets are useless, why not use one that has actual powers?” - Nightstar said hoping to speed Marinette up

“… I’ll stick with her thanks. Also, you’ll change your mind pretty soon.” - Marinette now had that look in her eyes, one that Beastboy knew all to well from when they had last encountered the Batfam… So he and Raven took out their phones and pressed record

          1

       FIGHT!

The battle was quick, too quick. Marinette had within mere seconds, defeated Nightstar, using a combo none of the Titans had ever seen before… the room was all but silent except for the game’s music

“So, is she still a useless character?” - Marinette’s face had a smile, but her voice had a barely noticeable icy edge to it, that had the Titans and even Starfire, an adult, visibly tense up.

“No! She’s an amazing character!” - Nightstar blurted out

“Indeed she is, actually, all the characters have their own unique moves, it says it right there in the move set list.” - Marinette had lost the icy edge in her voice just as quickly as she had gained it.

The Titans stared at her, Beastboy and Raven giving Marinette a thumbs up, while they still had their phones recording.

“I-I call hacks! There’s no way anyone could ever beat someone, let alone Nightstar, that fast!” - Cyborg, still trying to process what happened

“Have you ever heard of spead runners?” - Marinette now had the most innocent look on her face, the very image of an earth bound angel

“Well… yes, but still, you must’ve used hacks!” - Cyborg couldn’t come up with any reasonable answer other than that

“If you think I cheated, why don’t you all take turns against me? If you still think I’m cheating, then we can do a 3 v 1 match. Fair?” - Marinette motioned for the two boys to sit on the couch, and before they knew it, they were sitting on the couch

Needless to say Marinette won against them, both in the 1 v 1 battles and in the 3 v 1 matches (yes they had a few 3 v 1 matches), and during the last fight they finally managed to land a hit that got Marinette’s health to 99.99%, before she kicked their asses with the most insane combo ever. Now Nightstar, Robin and Cyborg are staring at their side of the screen, watching as it flashes with the word ‘»Loser«’ in bold over their avatars, definitely starting to think Marinette is a meta

“This is unacceptable! I refuse to be beaten by a child!” - Robin marched off into a different room, before coming back out with two swords - “Duel.Now!”

“Robin, you know there is a no fighting with civilians rule, right?” - Beastboy had the smugest shit eating grin possible plastered on his face

“I.Don’t.Care.” - Robin sent a glare towards Beastboy, but it didn’t phase the green boy

“You sure?  And here I thought you followed the rules. Also, I’m pretty sure you’re a child as well, especially with that attitude of yours.” - Marinette stood up as she crossed her arms with a smirk while staring at Robin

“Fight.Me…. Unless you’re scared.” - Robin tossed the second sword at Marinette’s feet with a devilish grin

Marinette picked up the sword before she spoke

“Oh little birdbrain, I’ll show you what it truly means to be scared shitless.” - Marinette smiled at Robin as she looked straight into his eyes

“…” - Robin wanted to say something to intimidated the girl, but something about the look in her eyes… a look scarily similar to a feral cat, sent shivers down his spine, yet he refused to back down

They entered the training room and got into their fighting positions, Starfire being the referee. Even though fighting with a civilian was against the rules, Starfire couldn’t stop Robin once he was dead set on something, (I mean, that’s how he got Bat-cow after all) but the least she could do was give them wooden swords, and be there for when Robin went too far.

Starfire signaled for them to begin, Marinette stayed in a defensive position, blocking all of Robin’s attacks with ease. He couldn’t get her to attack no matter how much he swung his sword at her, so he tried to anger her

“You’re a coward! I bet your parents are horrible people. You’re just some random person who doesn’t belong here.” - Robin pointed his sword at Marinette, who was about 10ft. infront of him, waiting to see if he managed to anger her

“Robin!” - Starfire was shocked that Robin would resort to such low tactics, she looked to Marinette, thinking the girl would start to cry

Marinette just stared at Robin, a cold, emotionless expression on her face. Her eyes began to have a cold feral look burning within them, aimed souly at Robin as she spoke two words, that once again sent shivers down Robin’s spine “Apologize.Now.”

“And why should I?” - Robin tightened his grip on the handle of his wooden sword as Marinette finally started to take slow steps towards him

“My parents are the most amazing people I could have ever asked for, and if you do not apologize by the time I’m 5ft. away from you, you’re dead.” - Marinette continued to walk forward, but Robin made no move to apologize

“Over my dead body.” - Robin

That’s when Beastboy and Raven internally bid Robin farewell as they held their phones proudly, to witness the bloodbath that would soon follow Robin’s last words

“… Such a shame, and to think I actually had a sliver of respect for you.”

And it was over, just as Marinette said, once she was exactly 5ft. from Robin, she was right infront of him in less than a second, her sword swinging fast and hard as Robin just barely managed to block it from hitting his neck. Marinette spared no time, and had her left leg swing forward in one quick motion, hitting Robin’s side, he stumbled back. Marinette swung her sword at him again, this time aiming for where his hands held the handle of his sword. As Robin tried to block Marinette’s attack, her sword slid down quickly, and onto his hand. Robin backed off, as he swaped the sword from his right had, to his left, but that was all he managed to do within the small moment he got away from Marinette. As Robin readied for the next blow, Marinette quickly changed from swinging her sword at him, to sweeping his legs out from under him. As Robin tried to process what had just happened, he felt the tip of Marinette’s sword press at his throat.

“Do you want to be a dead birdbrain, or a birdbrain that kept the last of it’s feathers?” - Marinette stared down at Robin as the other Titans, including Starfire, had their jaws on the floor

Robin stared at Marinette’s sword and then at Marinette before he finally answered meekly “sorry”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch that.” - Marinette gave him a smile as he glared up at her

“I’m.Sorry.” - Robin spoke through gritted teeth

“There! That wasn’t so hard now was it?” - Marinette pulled her sword away and streched out her hand to help Robin up

Although Beastboy and even Raven’s cackling made Robin want to refuse Marinette’s hand, he thought it best to just do as the bluenette said, and he dare not complain to his father, let alone any one of his brothers or sisters, about this. The last thing he needed was a new sister, he definitely didn’t want one like Marinette, she was like the Spawn of Satan herself once he angered her…

“Oh god… she’s just like me but ten time worse when I started living with father… fucking carma you bitch!”

As Robin was checked on by Starfire and Cyborg, Beastboy and Raven went up to Marinette to hug her

“Avenge my dealth.” - Robin looked to Cyborg

“… You better play coffin dance when I die.” - Cyborg turned to Marinette and spoke - “ I challenge you to a hack off!” - Cyborg figured he would win, considering he was the best hacker in Jump City

“Okay, what kind of simulation are you going to run?” - Marinette

At least, until Marinette came

“Pardon?” - Cyborg began to sweat

“Will it be time based, point based, stealth based, or will it be based on how much damage you can do?” - Marinette smiled as she spoke

Cyborg was royally screwed

“Uhhh, t-time based!” - Cyborg worked best under pressure, he got this in the bag

……… ……… ………

he didn’t have it in the bag

They had gone to the hacker simulation room, and set up the toughest program they had. Cyborg was the only one to ever beat it in under 5 minutes.

Marinette on the other hand beat it un under 30 seconds

“How the- why- how- impossible- can’t be- meta.” - Cyborg ran to Marinette grabbing her shoulder as he yelled - “You’re a Meta! That’s the only logical explanation!” - Cyborg had startled Marinette by doing what he did, which caused the bluenette to flip Cyborg over her shoulder, like it was nothing, hard onto the floor

“Sorry! Reflexes.” - Marinette helped the stunned Cyborg back up

“You aren’t human!” - Cyborg ran from Marinette into the safe room, hoping it was all a dream, a really bad dream, before coming back and stood behind Robin

“… I don’t have any meta powers that could help me hack though.” - Marinette was confused why Cyborg thought her being meta was the only answer, for all he knew, she had an uncle who was great with technology and really liked riddles!

“Is there anything you aren’t good at?!” - Nightstar couldn’t tell if she was in awe or scared of Marinette… but she did know one thing, she will become Marinette’s apprentice.

“I don’t know, magic maybe?” - Marinette never really tried magic, though it did intrigue her

Her answer caused Robin and Cyborg to run up to Raven both talking in sync

“Challenge her!Oh Raven- Kenobi You’re our only hope!” - Raven glared at them, they knew Star Wars quotes were her one true weakness

“*sigh* You want to learn magic?” - Raven look to Marinette who was instantly at her side as she spoke

“YES!” - Marinette hugged Raven, she would finally learn magic!

“Why do I feel like she won’t do the challenge?” - Cyborg looking at Robin

“Because she’s fallen to the dark side.” - Robin clenched his fist as he stared at his fallen teammate

They went back into the living room and got ready.  Raven gave Marinette a piece of paper and a pen, and told her to draw what came to her mind when she thought of a magic symbol.

Once they were done, Raven had Marinette crumble her paper in her fist, and told her to imagine water flowing into it.

Raven’s crumpled paper turned into a dark purple and grey mist infront of her.

Once Raven’s mist cleared, a tiny Raven looking creature was floating in front of her.

“See? Just like that.” - Raven

“… Greetings my chosen, I am Tapp, the Raven Kwami of Magic, how may I serve thee?” - Tapp

“Oh… it can talk… that’s a first.” - Raven was a bit surprised

Then, Marinette’s crumpled paper turned into a smoke that was mixed with red, gold, and hints of blue, forming a tiny lizard shape before the smoke vanished, leaving behind a lizard.

“Ooh, I got a Lizard!” - Marinette bent down to admire the red lizard as it looked up at her

“Hey! Let’s get one thing straight! It’s Dragon. Dra-gon. Not lizard. I don’t do that tongue thing.” - The little Dragon then proceeded to do the tongue thing

“Okay, then mighty little dragon, why are you so tiny?” - Marinette was pretty sure dragons were bigger than 1½ foot.

“I am not tiny, I’m travel size, for your convenience.” - The little travel size dragon boasted

“… Why the hell are you here?” - Tapp zipped over to the dragon

“Oh, hey Tappy, how’s it Tappin?” -The dragon looked at Tapp, who had a frustrated look on his face

“For Mortals sake! I have told you to call me Tapp! My rightful name! You don’t see me calling you Mushie, or Mu-mu, or Shu shu! No, I call you Mushu, YOUR rightful name!” - Tapp was clearly annoyed

“Well, I can call you whatever I want Tappy, and I still wonder what roasted Raven tastes like.” - Mushu was now starting to eye Tapp as a snack

“No!” - Tapp hid in Raven’s hood to get away from Mushu

“… It’s nice to meet you Mushu, I’m Marinette.” - Marinette extended her hand for Mushu to hop up on

“Nice to meet you as well. So, where did you find my Miraculous?” - Mushu hoped up onto Marinette’s hand as she brought him to her face

“Your… what?” - Marinette

“My Miraculous, you know, a bronze broche that has the head of a dragon on it.” - Mushu waited for Marinette to show him his long beloved broche

“uhhhh… I don’t have it? I summoned you with a piece of paper.” - Marinette

“… wut?” - Mushu

And that’s how Marinette and Mushu met, she had to deal with Mushu having a mini heart attack, but all was good, she promised she would find his broche one day. Mushu ended up binding their souls, so he wouldn’t fade away, Tapp doing the same with Raven. He explained that normally a Kwami is bound to their Miraculous, which can then be easily passed down threw generations, but somehow, he and Tapp were summoned without their Miraculous, which meant one of two things, either their Miraculous was destroyed, or they were lost in one of the different dimensions that exists between the mortal realms, and the realm of the Kwamis.

Marinette didn’t see much of Robin, Cyborg or Starfire after her successful summoning. She spent the rest of her time with Nightstar (who seemed to be following Marinette around), Raven and Beastboy. And before Marinette knew it, she was heading back to Gotham in the Zeta-Tube, a new friend in hand, and a lot of explanations for when she got home.

She knows her Moms and Aunt will love Mushu, but she can’t say the same for her Uncle, who has a fear of tiny travel size sentient beings.

How was her life so chaotic, yet so wonderful at the same time?

Well, that’s something only fate knows.

Every day is Alyanette day if you’re not a coward

its an alyanette day for sure homies 

Marinette post-having her Miraculous taken in my Serpent AU!

ALSKDJFL I kinda wanna write a oneshot or fic on this now

Alya, driving Marinette and Max : So how was your day?

Adrien : We almost got surprise adopted!

Alya : What?

Marinette : We almost got kidnapped.

Alya : Oh, okay.

Alya : *slams on the breaks* WAIT WHAT?!

Damian, after Marinette silently hands him the mouse miraculous: Mullo, get squeaky!

Jason: ...Why are you wearing a mouse outfit, Damian...?

Tim: Oh my God, he became a furry!

Damian: *simply doesn’t care because he’s too busy cuddling all the Kwami except Mullo*

Marinette, concerned *sees Damian trying to pet all the kwami with tears in his eyes*: What's wrong Dami?

Damian *ready to start openly sobbing in despair*: I don't have enough hands!

Rest of the Batfam: What the actual fu-

A little Kuro Neko doodle I did~!

Please give me feedback!

In “Kwamibuster”, Master Fu stated that merging Miraculoi (look I don’t know the proper plural but if you do the Latin thing and replace the -us with -ī...yeah) can be dangerous, and can make someone “lose [their] mind”. As in, literally go insane.

I will concede that he said at the end of the episode that “no Miraculous holder in all of history” has had the mental and physical strength to be capable of withstanding the simultaneous use of so many Miraculoi.

However, most of them were unused, simply worn. Moreso, she had negative consequences while transformed as Multimouse. At the beginning, she stumbled and almost completely collapsed to the ground before leaving the massage parlor, but she managed to catch herself. She also looked near collapse, or at the very least extremely exhausted, after her use and dissipation of Mirage.

I completely understand why merging Miraculoi could be more efficient in theory, but doing so consistently must have negative side effects that are more permanent than what Marinette experienced in Kwamibuster. Plus, having others to be able to step in if Ladybug and/or Chat Noir are captured could be the difference between winning and losing; this may not be possible if either hero is restrained or otherwise unable to use the powers of either/any Miraculoi they may be using.

Anyway, after ML writers revealed that it's possible to transform using two (or more) Miraculous that idea of temporary Miraculous Holders basically lost any sense, because usually Heroes needed help of only one temporary Miraculous Holder.

Exactly, that's why i'm mostly against writting the temporary heroes on my fix it's and instead use the kwamis. While their powers can be useful when the situation especifically ASK for three people, it's not in fact necessary to use them.

At most, it's just to let someone make a better use of their individual screen time when you're not a protagonist.

Sometimes the secret identities on this show really hit me hard. Like I can't believe there was an episode where Marinette blindfolded a terrified Adrien Agreste and flew him around like a kite on her yo-yo. I can't believe Mayura stood up to Audrey Bourgeois for Ladybug, and then Hawk Moth complimented Ladybug's skill and Cat Noir offered to model for her. I can't believe Gabriel Agreste allowed the mayor of Paris to turn his son into a cat. I can't believe Cat Noir threw a bangin' party in Hawk Moth's house and Ladybug snuck in with a ridiculous disguise

By the way Luka does a similarly gay hand motion during his transformation ashdjsk—

I mean we all knew Juleka was gay but the hand really confirms it

I was just rereading this and realized that the ox miraculous is a septum ring askjhgslkhgf

Dodgeball

Maribat by @ozmav

This is part of my PACK AU. I decided that I would post one shots about this au and then, when I have more time, I will do a whole fanfic.

You can find parts of this AU here, here, here and here.

This is 1.6K!

They were at lunch. No one wanted to go to the bakery that day for lunch, as Sabine and Tom were busy with a huge order from André Bourgeois for a political event at the hotel.

So, they had arranged to bring food/sweets to lunch together in a forgotten room at school.

Marinette had brought a strawberry charlotte russe (the whole cake); Adrien had made chocolate chip cookies; Kagami arrived with various sweets and drinks that had been sent to her from Japan; Luka came with calissons; Damian set a box of mahmoul on the table; Chloe had baked a salted caramel pie; Max had brought croissants and Kim macarons.

The Kwamis were too happy to see the variety. (Plagg grumbled a little for not having Camembert, but Tikki managed to control him.)

It was a feast. Both for the food and for each other’s presence. All eight were resting after eating everything.

Adrien lying on Luka and Chloe’s legs; Chloe resting her head on the musician’s shoulder while her hands hugged Kagami sideways; Kagami had Kim sitting on the floor between her legs and with his back to her; Damian’s legs stretched over Kim’s, Marinette in his arms; Max was lying fully on the floor with only his head resting on Marinette’s thigh while playing a game on the phone.

It was calm and quiet. Or rather calm and quiet minus Kim. He kept twitching.

Chloe snorts irritably.

“I’ll kick you out of the room if you don’t keep quiet.”

“Let’s do something!” He moans. “I ate too much sugar and now I can’t calm down.”

Marinette makes a murmur understanding the boy. She also felt energy rush under her skin from too much sugar.

“I think we’re all in the same boat.” Damian mutters against Marinette’s neck.

“How about we play dodgeball?” Adrien says suddenly and sits down to look at everyone. “It will drain the excess energy and we can have fun too.”

“Hmm, I don’t know…” Max replies. “Do you have clothes in the locker room?”

“No.” Kagami nods negatively. “But that would be no problem. We can get some from Mari-hime’s house.”

“Okay.” Luka smiles, breaking away from Chloe and standing up. “I think we’ll play dodgeball.”

xxxx

Francois Dupont was not prepared for a dodgeball match between eight heroes.

Not even Ms. Bustier’s class.

All the students had gone to the second floor, the floor that gave access to the classrooms, to give more space for the fierce battle that was taking place in the school yard.

It was easy to recognize the shock, disbelief, and envy on the students’ faces each time Marinette Dupain-Cheng deftly deflected a ball that would probably be fatal (and painful) if it hit her.

When Kagami Tsurugi violently kicked a ball coming toward her back to Max, who just used another ball to escape the attack and the school choked on watching it.

They saw Kim Le Chien jump into the basketball hoop to catch a wandering ball and then, hanging upside down, throw the ball with unbelievable force toward Adrien Agreste.

Adrien, who exhibited abnormal flexibility in deflecting the most absurd attacks. Like when he fell to the floor with his legs spread like a ballerina without showing any discomfort with it.

Damian Al-Ghul was vicious. He seemed to be playing to draw blood, no matter if they were his friends in a friendly game. Each time he made his move, the ball bounced off the floor or walls in a loud, dry noise. Students shuddered every time this happened.

The biggest surprise of the audience was to see Chloe Bourgeois and Luka Couffaine in the midst of the carnage. Chloe for being the untouchable princess of Mayor Bourgeois and Luka for being known as a calm and very sweet guy.

But they were very different at the time.

Luka had a manic smile on his face, sliding on the floor like a pro and retaliating with power. Chloe giving no opportunity for the other team to retaliate before falling down by killing with multiple balls in various directions. She was flushed and sweating, but didn’t seem to be bothered by it.

Nino shudders when Adrien is the first to be hit. The sound of the ball hitting the model’s chest makes the DJ panic and he almost runs to his friend but is prevented by the blonde’s amused laugh.

“That was great, Ure!” He makes a move, a kip-up and soon stands, not looking hurt.

“I know.” Damian shouts back. “You’re getting slow, kitty. I think we’re feeding you too much.”

Ms. Bustier’s class reacts with surprise upon hearing the nickname.

“Kitty?” Alya mutters.

“Is he getting slow?” Nathaniel chokes.

“Dude, they’re feral!” A boy of Ms. Mendeleev’s class says excitedly.

“Adrien is so beautiful!” Adrien’s fan club sighs.

They watch Marinette eliminate Chloe in a skilled and powerful counterattack. The sound of the ball against Bourgeois’s thigh made it clear that Marinette was sparing no effort to eliminate her opponents.

Even if it was her friends.

Someone (a boy) whistles in appreciation.

“This girl is good.”

“She’s hot.” Another (boy) person responds.

Before Lila could say anything disparaging about Marinette, Kagami Tsurugi’s blazing gaze stopped in her direction. In their direction.

Kagami was still in the middle of the game when she stopped to look at them. And even being distracted by them, she was still fully capable of deflecting Kim’s shots.

“Is it my imagination or is she looking at us?” Boy #1 asks.

“Do you think she could hear what I said?” Boy #2 asks back.

“Impossible, she doesn't—” Kagami raises an eyebrow and they squeak in surprise.

She smiles sarcastically and then turns her attention back to the game as if nothing has happened.

“Holy shit. I think I pissed on my pants.” Boy #2 whispers.

Not just him. Lila could still feel the coldness of that look digging into her skin.

That group was scary.

Alya, on the other hand, was feeling in the twilight zone.

That could not be real. Marinette, who could barely walk on the paved ground without injury, was there, running and jumping, displaying a skill Alya had never seen before.

At least not from Marinette.

“I didn’t know Max was so skilled.” Ivan says beside her and she was forced to look away from the girl who used to be her best friend.

And- Oh! Another surprise.

She really couldn’t understand anything else. She was lost.

xxxx

The game ended with a draw.

On one side left Marinette and Kagami, on the other, Damian and Kim.

They had come to a halt, no one being able to hit anyone and the game was dragging on. Even if it didn’t let it be fun, the sugar effect was crumbling and they were already getting tired.

But even so, the game would continue if it wasn’t for Luka (God bless such a good person) warning about the time.

Kim sighed hopelessly, but agrees. They needed to shower and change to sit in the classroom for the rest of the day.

The four soon emerged from attack positions and began picking up the balls thrown across the yard to store. Kim still upset that he didn’t go on playing.

“Come on, we’ll finish this game later and we’ll know who’s the best.” Damian pats the boy comfortingly on the back and he cheers again with the promise of a rematch.

“Of course, it’s me.” He heaves his chest proudly.

Chloe laughs at that. “In your dreams, Capuchin.”

Kim pouts at her and Max stands on tiptoe so he can rub his hair.

“We’re done with the balls. Now let’s go home to change clothes.”

Luka appears (he had gone out to fetch their bags and lunch’s trash), his hands busy. He was still sweaty despite being the second to be eliminated.

“I already cleaned and closed the room. Let’s go because we’ll be late otherwise.”

“Ok mom!” The seven respond and he rolls his eyes.

Marinette was going to take the bag from Luka, but Adrien stops her.

“Mariiiii.” He calls, the bright eyes of a mischievous kitten.

She already knew what he wanted.

“Oh God. I can never resist those eyes.” She pretends to be angry and he laughs. "Okay, let’s go. Just this once.”

Marinette turns her back to Adrien and stretches her arms back. Adrien doesn’t think twice before wrapping his arms around her neck and wrapping his legs around her waist.

She holds his legs to give more security and starts walking, trying to reach the rest of the pack.

"I love you, Mari.” Adrien whispers against her ear. “I love you all.”

Marinette smiles.

“I-We love you too, kitten.”

“And we will protect you.” Kagami says, patting his back.

“Thanks. I’m so lucky.” Adrien hides his face in the back of Marinette’s neck and sniffs.

They were lucky. Having each other. A family.

EXTRA:

“… Did she just carry him like he weighed nothing?” Mylene blinks once more to make sure she was seeing right.

“Chloe was laughing. Really laughing.” Sabrina says. She looked stunned.

"Kitty…” Alya mutters. She still couldn’t get it out of her mind.

“Did Damian have a septum ring or was I imagining that?” Rose asks.

“Mom?” Juleka whispers.

“Kitty.” Alya again.

“Capuchin.” Nathaniel puts his hands against his head and squeezes.

“Kim gave up on a competition…” Alix says in surprise.

“They looked very close.” Lila points out.

“KITTY!” Alya shouts.

Nino and Ivan just watch the class catch fire… and Alya lose her mind.
