Just Had My Nth Conversation With Someone About Mask-wearing Today - Yet Another Well-intentioned Moron

Just had my nth conversation with someone about mask-wearing today - yet another well-intentioned moron who was like 

‘But the virus is gone now’ (it isn’t) 

‘But the mask is uncomfortable’ (ventilators are worse)

‘But you’re young, you won’t die’ (having this thing could impact my health for decades to come + it’s my responsability to protect those who’re more vulnerable than I am because that’s how society works)

‘But are you going to live in fear for the rest of your life’ (taking concrete safety measures actually helps me feel more in control and less worried)

‘But are you going to give up everything and stay inside like a rat’ (no, but I’m definitely going to decide what’s worth risking my health for, and shopping for bread rolls is not very high on my list of literally-to-die-for activities)

‘But what if they never find a vaccine’ (then we’ll get used to the situation just like we got used to a thousand other things like seat belts, bike helmets, and increasingly weird true crime podcasts). 

I know it’s tiring to have people call you paranoid all the time - but you’re right and they’re wrong. Check the news, keep a safe distance from others whenever possible and keep wearing your mask!

(Btw that thread is full of interesting stuff.)

Sleep: Adrien is Oblivious to Marinette’s Feelings.

Woke: Adrien is suppressing those feelings due to his feelings for Ladybug.

Enlightened: Adrien is constantly figuring out Ladybug & Marinette are the same but Bunnix keeps interfering, resulting in an “Oblivious” Adrien.

Just Another Class Trip :) Part 8

News gets out and everyone handles it calmly and respectfully.

First< Previous >Next

————————–

“Hi Tom, Sabine, how are you,” Selina gives a fake smile, not waiting for them to answer, “So Marinette’s in town,”

“Yes is something wrong?” Tom asks worriedly.

“No nothing is wrong,” If you didn’t count the villain attacking the pool yesterday as wrong, “It’s just um, you know how I never told you who her father was?”

“Yes,”

“Well, apparently Gotham didn’t need the help and figured it out pretty much immediately,”

“So does that mean we finally get to be in the loop?” Tom’s eyes sparkle, he had always bothered her for the identity of his adopted daughter’s father.

“Oh no one special, you probably haven’t heard of him,” They most certainly have, “Bruce Wayne?”

“… You dated Bruce Wayne?” The man who had become like a brother to her asks.

“I’m actually engaged to him now,” that already sounded so complicated and it wasn’t even the tip of the iceberg. How did her life become so complicated? Well, at least she had managed to keep Marinette from it, well at least for a while.

“Congratulations!” He booms, “Oh what’s the theme? We’ll make you a cake! Wait no we cant send it by plane… what am I talking about! We’ll come to Gotham to make it! Unless it’s a destination wedding? A beach might be hard but I’m always up for a challenge,”

“Tom, Tom, it’s exciting I know,” Where did Marinette fall on the nature vs nurture scale? Because these two reacted exactly the same way, “But we have bigger problems right now!”

“What’s the matter, Selina?” Sabine asks with motherly concern, much better than Selina could ever hope to manage.

“People figured it out… pretty much the second she stepped into Gotham at that,” Selina sighs, “The press is going crazy with theories, paparazzi basically stalking Marinette, Bruce is trying to talk to her about it … and he saw me with her, he knows somethings up,”

“Do you think it’s time we spilled the beans?” Tom asks, calming down from his wedding excitement, “Marinette’s always known she was adopted but…”

“Not that I’m her mother? Yeah,” Silence hangs in the air for a while, the screen being the only source of light in her dark safe house, “You know I can try and work through this, no one has to know,”

“Hm…. if you think it’s best,” Sabine nods, before looking to her husband, “But if you want or need to tell people this would be the time,”

“Is… is that alright with you?”

“We love Marinette, and we know she’ll still love us no matter what, if our little family wants to grow then we should let it!” Tom exclaims, she should have known they would be fine with it, always so accepting that’s one of the reasons she chose them to take care of her daughter.

“I’ll think about it,” She promises, cutting off the call to be alone with her thoughts.

Apparently her biggest hurdle was actually plucking up the courage to tell everyone. She thought she should at least tell Marinette, but lo and behold here they were in the Wayne manor waiting to hold a meeting about how to handle the rumor and Marinette is still in the dark. Well, she has no other choice but to commit now, try and get Marinette through her trip and out of the city without anyone being the wiser. Hell, she had kept the world’s greatest detective from knowing for all these years surely this would be no more trouble.

Despite that, she ran into a little bitty problem while Bruce was explaining to Marinette how to handle the press; her conscience. It had been this annoying thing that started growing more and more as she spent time around Bruce. And now that they were engaged it decided to be a royal pain in her neck trying to convince her to be honest and tell the truth, how was that going to help with their marriage!

Surely this would be the worst possible place to admit it. Not only was Marinette and Bruce here, but the entire damn Batfamily to boot, sans Jason. If she were to tell now there would no doubt be bloodshed. No, the best way, if she was going to tell them, would be later in private, she could get Bruce to drive them back to the hotel and take a detour along the way, then she could tell them and bam! They would both know and her conscience would leave her alone, that was certainly the best plan of action-

And then Marinette smiled at him and Bruce smiled back, she didn’t even know what was said but goddammit-

“Marinette’s our daughter!”

Everything in the room stops. Even those happy to mill about their conversation on the other size pause, a glass drops, she doesn’t even wait for it to shatter before continuing. Floodgates are open now, no going back.

“Seventeen years ago, took her to Paris, pretended to be her Aunt, let Tom and Sabine raise her!” She stood up, bolting from the room, not stopping until she was far from Wayne manor.

Yep, I think I handled that well.

They all stood frozen, staring at the door Aunt, no Selina, her Mother had just run out. Everything was silent, for about two seconds before incomprehensible screeching. Or at least that’s what it sounded like to her as everyone started shouting over each other.

“Did you know!?”

“No! How would I know?!”

“How could you not know! Everyone else did!”

“You didn’t!”

“That’s because he said it wasn’t true!”

“How the fuck-”

“Bruce why ,”

“By god how reckless can you be!?”

“This is… wow,”

Marinette didn’t stick around to hear the rest, slipping out the door Selina had disappeared through, like mother like daughter she guessed. Speaking of, she needed to call her Maman and Papa first, had the known all along? She was meant to just be an average girl… who’s a superhero… and vigilante…. And famous fashion designer…. And guardian- ok maybe she hadn’t done a great job at the whole ‘ordinary girl’ thing, be she had liked to think she was normal at least once in her life… apparently not.

“Marinette sweetie!” Her Papa’s voice boomed over the call, “How are you?”

“Aunt Selina- not- how- I-”

“Oh, she told you?” Her Maman spoke more quietly than her Papa, calm voice calming her down.

“Me, and everyone else,” Marinette sat down at the steps to Wayne Manor, looking out at the front gardens without really seeing anything.

“Yes we thought she might, are you ok sweetie?”

“I’m shocked,”

“Yes well knowing her she didn’t handle it too well,” Papa spoke knowingly.

“She bolted now I’m stuck at Wayne Manor,” Marinette supplies, not that she really had a better place to be.

“Yes, that’s like her,” She can hear her Maman laugh a little, “How are you feeling?”

“A little confused,” A lot confused.

“When she was pregnant with you she came to us, she and Bruce apparently didn’t have a very stable relationship back then and didn’t think either of them could take care of you,” Maman explains, “So she came to us, asking for just to raise you, she wasn’t going to be a part of your life but I think she loved you more than expected because she kept coming back and eventually became your Auntie Selina,”

“Thats… wow,”

“Need some time?”

“Yeah,”

“Take all the time you need,” Papa encouraged, “We’re always here for you, and we love you,”

“I love you too,” Marinette smiles, letting the call drop staring off into nothingness.

The Kwamis came out of hiding to cuddle close but left her to her thoughts which Marinette appreciated. They sat in silence for a long time, Marinette worked out that she didn’t mind so much. Sure it was a shock, but it didn’t change how much she loved her parents, and it meant her family had just gotten a little bigger, or a lot bigger as Bruce had introduced her to a lot of people. The only thing left to worry about was the others, they didn’t seem very happy at the news.

Before Marinette can let the dread of that fester too long the front door opens, catching her attention as Bruce steps through. He seemed tired, and was that bruise a punch mark!?- no nevermind she wasn’t going to ask. He comes to sit down next to her, neither talking for a while as they both stare out at the garden.

“… So Selina left?” He asks eventually.

“Yep, and I don’t think she’s coming back any time soon,”

“Of course not,” She shakes his head, a little amused, “Did she tell you?”

“No, but my parents knew- wait I didn’t mean!-”

“It’s fine,” He assures, settling her panic, “I just found out, I can hardly be considered a parent,”

“Guess not… What about the others?”

“Oh they’re a little shocked,” Bruce puts it lightly, his bruise being a dead give away, “I think they expected me to adopt you long before suspecting we were already related,”

“Just how many siblings do I have,” Marinette half mutters to herself, “wait- are they my siblings?”

“Depends who you ask, Dick? Yes, I think he already left to find decorations for your room,”

“I have a room?”

“If Dick has anything to say about it, also I suspect Alfred already set you up one, although I couldn’t tell you when,”

“Of course he did,” That man seemed to know more than all of them combined, “So does that mean I can stay over some time?”

“Certainly, although I might suggest waiting a day or two,” He looks back at the mansion, light-catching his bruise.

“I might give it three, just to be sure,” She smiles, still wondering what happened there.

They start talking, catching up on each other’s lives. Marinette skirts around anything that doesn’t pertain to her identity as Marinette, Ladybug, MDC, Starling the whole gang. They are only interrupted by Marinette’s phone buzzing, she picks it up, Adrien was the one to call but both Chloe and Kagami are there with him.

“Marinette,” Adrien says urgently, “Remember Cuppy?”

Tim meets MDC

<Previous Masterpost Next>

Okay let's go! This will feature fanboy Tim so get ready for some really weird ideas!

• Okay Tim is so murdering his siblings. They left him all alone at a Wayne Gala!

• Also Bruce has to leave for a league mission, but guess who's still here?

• He's super mad until he spots FREAKING JAGGED STONE!

• Oh god he's so glad he's here now! Take that siblings! You bail on me and I meet the coolest person ever!

• Then he spots his guest!

• It can't be, but it has to be her!

• MDC!

• She's been Jagged's designer for years! And she looks to only be around Damian's age!

• He goes over to her

• "Hi I'm Tim and you are like the coolest person ever!"

• Marinette is very confused when he turns to her instead of Jagged for an autograph

• They talk for a bit about music until they discover their where's love of riddles, puzzles, and logic games

• They exchange numbers

• A week later he gets a call saying she has a backstage pass to the Gotham city Jagged concert

• He accepts and tells his siblings he doesn't need the ticket they got for him

• They are very confused

• Bruce is like I thought you loved Jagged why aren't you going

• Dick is very concerned, like are you sick Tim?

• Jason suspects that the replacement has been replaced by either a shapeshifter, alien probe, or clone

• Damian's just like mildly freaked even if he doesn't show it

• Alfred suspects it has to do with whoever Master Tim has been texting

• It turns out okay though because Cass comes back for a visit and she's never been to a concert so she gets the extra ticket

• Turns our most of the hero’s are here

• The Titian’s are all throughout the floor and is that Babs and Steph?

• The concert starts and it’s awesome and then Jagged invites the backstage quests to the stage

• It’s his designer MDC and is that TIM!!!

• The Titian’s are just wondering how he snagged that backstage pass

• The Bat fam?

• They’re just flipping out

• they want to know how Tim meet MDC and how he managed to make a good enough impression on her to get a free backstage ticket!

So there will probably be a part 2, but if you want to use this idea for a fic feel free to make your own!

And if you do use this idea please send me the name of the fic I really want to see this idea turned into one!

Damian, the baby assassin, Dupain-Cheng (Part 1)

Summary: Marinette adopts Damian, The only problem is that Damian does not want to be adopted. Can Marinette give Damian the childhood he would have never gotten if he´d stayed in the league?

A/N: So this was supposed to be a onshot for “It´s called rescuing not kidnapping” but I have no self control so this will have several parts.

Ao3

If there was one thing Marinette learned from hawkmoth’s rule all those years ago is to expect the unexpected.

Unexpected things happen at the most unexpected times 

Like becoming a superheroine after helping an old man cross the street…

… or kidnapping the heir of the league of assassins during her morning shift.

Though in Marinette’s defense it was more rescuing than kidnapping. Since it was The League of Assassins 

 So yeah, rescuing…. Not kidnapping 

Marinette’s closest friends liked to joke that the Dupain-Cheng family had a habit of adopting people to the point that would make Bruce, the serial adopter, Wayne shudder. 

And well Marinette couldn’t exactly say they were wrong. 

After all, most of them had been adopted at some point into the family.

And also there was a child sleeping in her living room.
