The unexpected stepfather

I have this idea in mind:

We've already seen Bruce have so much love interest. What if Talia got married, too? Why does she have to stay faithful to Bruce? There are other men on Earth than this guy…

So I thought: what if Adrien Agreste became Damian's stepfather?

*****

I can just see the kid's face when he gets an invitation to the mansion: he's invited to his mother's wedding to a guy he didn't even know existed.

He decides to confront his mother.

Talia simply explains that he's the one who cut her off first. She had tried to talk to him about it, but he was never around to listen.

Damian then meets his mother's future husband. He comes face to face with a Golden Retriever. The guy is kind, extremely polite and smiles. WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS GUY? Even Jon isn't that cheesy! Most important : How on earth did his mother fall in love with such a guy? He was the antithesis of his father.

Damian decided this guy was a murderer in disguise who had brainwashed his mother. He was determined to prove it. So he stayed with his mother for a while. He informed his father beforehand, but told him he'd take care of the problem himself. Bruce wasn't sure, but decided to trust his son.

Three months later, the wedding took place. Damian was present. He informed his father that he needed more time.

It's almost the end of the year. Damian still hasn't returned. Bruce decides to go and see what's going on.

He discovers that Damian is still with his mother. Even more intriguing, he's getting on well with Talia's new husband.

Bruce needs to investigate this new guy. His son is in danger.

So…. What happened?

So, I used to be apart of the Maribat/ Mlb x DC crossover fandom years back. And now I'm in the DC x DP fandom.

And let me tell you, my experiences between the two crossover fandoms could not have been any more different. These fandoms are literally on the opposite ends of the spectrum of DC crossover fics.

Here are my observations:

DC x DP (Danny Phantom)

Very Sweet. There's not a lot of hate for any of the characters most of the time.

Less romance, more found family + growing friendships

A whole lot less flanderisation of certain characters' personalities (in a way that's not overwhelming)

MLB (Miraculous Ladybug) x DC

Salt. Salt EVERYWHERE. There's so much salt it's dehydrating to read especially if you're a fan of certain characters. If you're an Adrien or an Alya fan, proceed with some caution, some fics don't tag who they're bashing/salting on. You could be reading a fic that you assume has Adrien & Marinette being wholesome friends but then get slapped with Adrien being an ooc spineless jerk/pervert to Marinette.

More romance oriented. Not to say there isn't found family because there certainly is but maribat definitely leans more into romance.

In certain salt fics, the characters are seriously flanderised to the point they're not even recognisable anymore. Adrien is the main victim of this along with Alya. Like some of y'all did Alya DIRTY. Adrien still got the worst of it though. And on the DC side of things, Damian is a little too sweet.

They do have one thing for certain in common when it comes to fics and that is that the Justice League had no clue that these teen superheroes are literally carrying a world-sized burden on their shoulders with no to very little adult guidance in their lives and honestly: my fave trope EVER! Mlb x DC fandom, continue to beat up Green Lantern for ignoring LB's calls for help. That shit is delicious.

I got a lot of criticisms for Maribat fics, especially on AO3. Authors please, for the love of all things Fandom, TAG WHO YOU'RE BASHING.

I used to like Adrien/Alya bashing fics back then but I've given them a lot of thought, especially since I began thinking about Adrien/Alya's characterisation and personalities and how some of these fics really butcher the characters. Which then just made me fall out of love with Maribat. The Fandom is too salty for me. Its unhealthy to have that much salt content in your system guys.

Anyway, just some observations and some criticisms I wanted to talk about regarding these two very different yet quite similar DC crossover fandoms.

To the Danny Phantom guys, keep doing what you're doing, you guys are amazing <3

To the Miraculous Ladybug guys, TAG YOUR SHIT

- From your resident AdriDamiNette shipper and Ghost King Danny Phantom, adopted son of Jason Todd or Lex Luthor enthusiast

[somereaderinblue]

Two common Maribat tropes are:

Our favourite sassy butler is Marinette's godgrandfather.

Hawkbitch wins and the Batfam step in to help Mari stop him.

Thus, I propose this:

(TW for implied physical & domestic abuse)

Adribat AU where Gabriel succeeds in reviving Emilie & erases all memory of the Miraculous events from Parisians. Emilie is the only one who remembers his misdeeds and despite his memory loss, Adrien retains Chat Noir's instincts & defiance, much to Gabriel's displeasure. He forces them to play house with him and violently lashes out whenever they disobey.

One thing Gabriel couldn't erase was the friendship between the Graham de Vanilys and the Pennyworths. Thus, when Gabriel's abuse goes too far, she contacts Alfred & together, they smuggle Adrien to Gotham.

Alfred and Bruce are no longer young & the cowl is ready for Cassandra. Seeing Adrien's potential, Alfred personally trains him to take over his responsibilities so he can watch over the Batkids.

Between an enraged father, evil butterflies & the homo-magi community's unease, Adrien will find working for the Batfamily to be the least bizarre aspect of his life.

[brierburrbrito]

Okay, so huge fan of Miraculous Ladybug right here, however towards the end of season two, less of a Marinette fan. Well, less of a Marinette/Adrien fan. So! I had an idea after seeing all of the MariBat fics all over AO3 and decided ‘yes, but maybe AdriBat??? 👀’

So that’s exactly what Im doing! Im in the process of outlining an AdriBat crossover!!! Yay!

So far, the plot is that after the Miraculous team defeats Hawkmoth, and its revealed that he is in fact Adrien’s father, Adrien becomes a sort of social pariah. The miraculous’ have deactivated in order to give the Kwamii’s time to regain their energy.

Marinette and the others weren’t able to reveal their identities to Chat Noir before Adrien was sent off. He’s having a real rough time. So by some means or other, he ends up in Gotham City, all alone. He comes into the possession of *giggle* a BAT miraculous and uses it to feel like he has a purpose.

Except he also uses his own skills (and leftover cat miraculous tendencies) to steal miraculous’ from around the city, because Gotham’s rogues are somehow getting them and its making life difficult for the Bats.

So the Bats are looking for two people who ARE THE SAME PERSON. One is a hero who is more like a bat than Batman, the other is a literal Cat burglar who seems to be more stealthy than Catwoman. They learn about the Miraculous through Constantine, and call in the closest known guardian.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

All while this happens, no one knows what happened to Adrien Agreste.

And because I can’t write a heteronormative ship to save my afterlife, assume everything is gayer than a rainbow.

[kawaiichibiart]

Miraculous x DC crossover featuring AdriBat and Wonder/AmazonMari, because the potential is there.

Think about it.

Seriously, THINK about it:

One of the past Ladybug Miraculous wielders was Hippolyta, Wonder Woman's mother.

Who better to train the current Ladybug Miraculous wielder than a past one? If not her, Diana could.

Meanwhile Adrien gets more weapon training with the Bats.

Depending on who he trains with, he learns something different (stealth from Black Bat/Orphan, acrobatics from Nightwing, staff training with Red Robin, etc.)

Marinette also gets weapon training. Alongside learning more ways to utilize her yoyo, Marinette learns to wield a sword and shield.

It's unavoidable to keep Selina from meeting Adrien and teaching him to commit crimes. For fun! :D

Marinette @ BatFam, when she finds out her partner is training with Cat Woman aka stealing shit: You had ONE fucking job!! >:(

Both of them have training together to better their team work. And it's not just in combat. (COMMUNICATE YOU FUCKING-)

[intercoursefluids]

can i get jason x adrien, with jason telling adrien about what happen to him and what he does as red hood, showing his scars as well? but adrien is all patient and understanding, and he isn't disgusted about all the killing and he isn't scared of jason. adrien is tracing the scars and pressing little soft kisses on them.

First and for most: I AM SO FUCKING SORRY I FORGOT THIS WAS HERE

Secondly: I hope you enjoy, I live in shame for taking so long on this I hope you still want it (This was requested June 30)

Thirdly: I can't think of a title for this someone start spitting out ideas

“You called for me?”

Jason nods from his spot on the couch, not looking up as Adrien came closer, fiddling with the sleeves of his long sleeve shirt

Adrien takes a seat next to him, taking one of his hands in his own and soothingly rubbing his thumb up and down the back of it.

“What’s wrong, Jay?”

Jason takes a deep breath, pulling his hand from Adrien’s and standing up.

“Remember a while back? You asked me why I always wear long sleeve shirts and jackets?”

Adrien hesitantly nods, wondering why the subject came up so suddenly.

“Do, do you still want to know?”

Adrien reaches out, putting his hand on Jason’s arm and waiting until he looks at him.

“I only want to know what you want to tell me. Nothing more, nothing less.”

Jason nods, taking a shaky breath and shaking out his hands, gripping the edge of his shirt and pulling it over his head.

Pale scars litter Jason’s body, some large, some small. A few are smooth lines, from beginning to end, others are jagged, looking more like rips than cuts. Some of the bigger scars have little dots on their edges, showing the spots where stitches once were.

Jason puts his arms out to his side, turning in a slow circle, exposing the scars on his sides and finally, his autopsy scars.

The largest scar on his body, stretching from his collar bones down to the waistband of his jeans in a Y shape.

Adrien gasps, one hand covering his mouth as the other hesitantly reaches out to Jason.

He gently touches the long scar, trailing his hand up until it rests against Jason’s chest, looking up to meet his eyes.

There is so much pain in them that Adrien almost pulls away, briefly believing that the scar still causes him physical pain, no matter how old it looked.

“These are my autopsy scars. I died a long time ago. The only reason I am even bringing this up is because I love you so fucking much Adrien. And I know, if I want this relationship to go further, or even to just continue, you need to know everything.”

Adrien grabbed Jason’s hands, pulling him back down to sit on the couch beside him, shifting his entire body to face him.

“I’m listening.”

Jason did his best to explain everything, from the time he was a street kid all the way up until he met Adrien. Several times he had to take a break, walking around the apartment, getting something to eat or drink, one time Adrien actually just forced him to sit, holding his hand while he breathed.

At the end of his explanation he just looked so worn out, exhausted, and the most fragile Adrien had ever seen him.

He sat just out of reach from him, huddled up on his corner of the couch, refusing to look at him even as he called out to him.

Adrien reached for him, pulling his face into his hands and kissing him softly, taking his time as he stroked the apples of his cheeks.

“Don’t you hate me now?”

Adrien pulled away some, smiling gently at Jason’s tearful expression.

“Why would I hate you?”

Jason pulls away from him, running a hand through his hair.

“I-I’ve killed people Adrien! I have destroyed lives and ruined people! I am practically a walking beacon of destruction! I mean look at me-” he gestured to his autopsy scars “-I… I honestly figured you would be running for the hills by now.”

Adrien stifled a snort, promising himself to talk to his lady on sharing his identity with him as soon as possible, but for now, comforting him would have to work.

“Jason, number one, I am intimately familiar with death and destruction, number two, I don’t find your scars nearly as hideous as you seem to think I should, I think they're beautiful.”

Adrien reached out, putting his hand on the scars, tracing the lines all across his body before leaning down to kiss them.

“You’ve survived so much, you are so strong, Jay. These scars prove how strong you are, prove that you still came back from the worst of humanity. Why would I love you any less for it? You’re beautiful, and you are so good. Don’t let anyone, not even yourself, convince you that you are evil because you got lost in doing what you thought was right.”

Jason was crying in earnest then, pulling Adrien away from his chest to kiss him soundly on the lips, pulling him into his lap and wrapping himself around him in a crushing hug.

“I don’t know what I did to deserve you but it wasn’t enough. I love you so fucking much Adrien, thank you. Thank you for not hating me.”

Adrien pressed their foreheads together, closing his eyes with his hand on Jason’s chest, feeling his heartbeat against his palm.

“I won’t leave you Jason, I love you too much for that.”

Enough Maribat. Give me Adribat instead.

Everyone sees Chat Noir and thinks that Batman and Catwoman had a kid. Batman absolutely denies this while Catwoman plays it up for all its worth.

Chat may or may not be aware of it, but him calling Batman "Dad" was a genuine slip of the tongue (Batman doesn't believe him).

Adrien is, ironically, the golden retriever in a family of black cats.

Tim’s cat [Part 5]

Ao3: Here | Part 1 | Part 2| Part 3| Part 4. Summary: A strange rumor is spreading in Gotham. It's time to find out who this mysterious “ninja cat” is.

Chapter 5: The ninja cat

Tim had come back to the manor to access the bat-cave for a case he was working on. Cat Noir was with him. Indeed, he could not leave his cat alone for too long in the house. That cat was vindicative. If he ever left him alone too long, Tim was sure he would find something broken or a pee stain on his bed. Cat Noir hated being alone in the house all day.

Tim was now taking him to his office in Wayne Enterprise. In doing so, Tim soon realized that Cat Noir loved the attention he was getting. Everyone around him quickly became used to the cat's presence in the office. He even suspected that some of the employees would pass by in the hallway just to pet the cat.

He arrived at the cave with Cat Noir following by his side.

He was surprised to see Jason and Damian already there. They were in uniform but not wearing their masks. Both seemed to be concentrating on a map.

 Shit.

Tim had sincerely hoped that no one was in the cave. He hadn't been on good terms with Bruce lately. He had chosen this day specifically knowing that the Dark Knight would not be around. He wasn't in the mood for human interaction tonight. Tim went straight to the computer.

Cat Noir, on the other hand, who could not help but be the center of attention, began to meow. This made his siblings spot him at once.

"Tim, what are you doing with a cat in here?" Jason asked, looking up from the map.

"That’s Cat Noir. I had to bring him with me today," Tim replied, while sitting in front of the computer.

"Your cat?" Damian repeated, looking up at Tim. The cat immediately came and sat on his lap, as it used to do when they were together.

"Yes, my cat. He's been living with me for a while now."

Tim ran his hand over his cat's head, and it began to purr. This brought a small smile to his face. His two brothers were watching him intently, and Jason was the first to speak up.

"Isn't that the cat whose picture you posted on the family groupchat?"

"That's the one."

"I thought you got rid of him."

"Hm."

Tim certainly wasn't going to admit that this cat had been messing with him for several days. That would be a secret he would take to his grave. Damian remained silent. However, Tim could clearly see that the little demon had his eyes fixed on Cat Noir. Tim was going to have to watch this brat closely, to make sure he didn't try to steal his cat.

“Uh-uh. Either way, good timing. Have you heard any rumors about cats lately?”

“Rumors about cats? Not really. Why?”

Damian was the one who decided to answer him.

"We’re looking for a cat. I've been hearing about it. Some say it's possessed, or even a meta-human. One that can change into an animal, like beast boy. "

Jason followed up.

"One that's been causing some trouble in the city too. It's been reported to have saved people from certain death."

Tim raised an eyebrow.

Jason proceeded to tell Tim about a series of incidents in which the cat had come to the rescue of people in danger. In one instance, the cat had alerted a family to a gas leak in their home. In another, the cat had prevented a child from running into traffic.

"This cat even brought food to children on the street."

"Why exactly are you looking for this cat? It doesn't look dangerous to me... Just too reckless for its own good.”

Tim was certainly a little puzzled by this story, however, after spending those few months with a cat as smart as Cat Noir, what Jason was saying did not seem impossible. Cat Noir also had this habit of wanting to feed him. Maybe this cat had just seen children and decided that they would be their kittens too. Cats were mysterious creatures after all.

No one had time to answer Tim's question because a small, shrill cry was heard.

"OH MY GOD, HE'S EVEN CUTER IN PERSON!!!"

Stephanie had just appeared and had practically thrown herself on him, or rather on his cat.

As usual, Cat Noir stood up on his paws and presented his back for petting. This one did not miss an opportunity to be admired. Stephanie began to pet the cat, showering it with compliments.

" Oh, yeah, you're the cutess~"

Eventually, she looked around at the other people in the room.

"I overheard you guys. I also heard about that cat. I even think that Selina is looking for it."

Tim raised his eyebrows at Stephanie's statement. Selina Kyle, also known as Catwoman, was a well-known cat-themed vigilante in Gotham. Tim had crossed paths with her a few times, and although she was not exactly on the side of the law, she had a code of honor that made her somewhat of an ally at times. Tim asked, curious.

"Why is Selina looking for this cat?"

"I don't know the specifics, but apparently, she's been trying to track it down for a while now. I think she's interested in finding out more about it."

Tim glanced over at Jason and Damian. They looked at each other, then back at Tim.

"This just got a lot more interesting," Jason said, a hint of excitement in his voice.

"Agreed. We should try to find this cat before Selina does," Damian added, a fierce determination in his eyes.                            

"It will be without me. One cat is more than enough for me."

Stephanie was also excited to meet a "ninja cat". The three went off to plot in their corner. Tim shrugged and returned his attention to his screen to work, while absentmindedly petting his cat.

 One month later.

Tim for once was relaxing in front of a Netflix series, his cat by his side. Suddenly his cell phone started to buzz. Tim ignored his cell phone to concentrate on the show. The problem was that his phone started to buzz without stopping. Tim sighed in annoyance and reached for his phone. There were several messages from Jason. He didn't even have time to read them before his phone started vibrating again. This time he picked up.

"What?"

"It's about time! Dude, we need you to come to the bat-cave immediately."

Tim straightened up clearly tense.

"Is there an emergency?"

"Something like that. Take Cat Noir with you."

"Cat Noir? Why?"

"Just take the cat with you. We'll be waiting."

Tim's mind raced as he ended the call. What was going on? Why did they need Cat Noir? He looked over at his cat, who was lazily grooming himself. Tim sighed and stood up, picking up his cat as he headed towards the bat-cave.

As he arrived, Tim saw Jason and Damian pacing back and forth, clearly agitated. Stephanie was present with a serious look. It was her who spoke up as soon as he stepped into the cave.

"Timmy, there's something you need to see."

"What is going on exactly?"

"Just... watch what we're going to show you and then you can ask questions."

"Hmmm."

The screen then showed several short videos, all on the same subject. They were videos of a small black cat that sometimes stole from stores, sometimes attacked criminals. Some of the videos, especially the one where the cat was ferociously attacking criminals, were quite impressive to see.

At first Tim watched the videos just out of curiosity, then gradually as he watched them, he got a familiar feeling. The way this cat was moving in the video looked familiar. He had seen those movements somewhere before.

It was the last video that made Tim feel sick. The cat was stealing a sandwich. Before running with it, the cat raised its head and seemed to look at the camera. This cat had green eyes.

“We think your cat and the ninja cat are the same."

Tim was silent for a moment. Stephanie continued her explanation.

"We checked, your cat showed up about five months ago, right? It turns out that this mysterious ninja cat also disappeared from the streets of Gotham around the same time. It can't be a coincidence."

Tim didn't know what to say or do. He replayed all of his interactions with his cat so far. It was true that Cat Noir was unusually intelligent for a cat. On the other hand, these few months with this cat in his life had been the happiest he'd had in a while.

"Tim, you need to..."

"No."

"Tim..."

"I'm not letting you take my cat just because he looks like your ninja cat!"

Tim immediately walked away without a backward glance, while holding his cat tightly against him.

As Tim left, Jason turned to Stephanie and Damian.

"What now?"

Stephanie shrugged.

"I guess we keep monitoring the situation. Maybe we can find out more about this ninja cat and why it disappeared."

Jason grumbled.

"I don't like it. Tim's too attached to that cat. We need to be careful how we approach this."

“He's just being dramatic. We just have to catch this cat and check it out.”

“No, Damian. We can't do that to Tim!"

“-TT- ”

The three of them fell into a thoughtful silence as they watched Tim's retreating back. They knew they had to handle this situation delicately, but they also knew they couldn't ignore the possibility that Cat Noir and the ninja cat were one and the same.

[obsidianjewel]

saw this '150 writing prompt' on my recommendations (?)

number 98 or 93. jason x adrien.

Hey anon! I decided to do both! Also, by the way when I was typing the one for number 93 I didn't exactly specify where Adrien and/or Jason was so just imagine their both in Gotham or Paris lmao

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

93: “Say you want me, and I'm yours.”

The words repeated like a broken record in Adrien’s head for almost an hour now.

Jason had said those exact words to him before he had left, giving the blond no time to respond to him. An obvious way of telling Adrien to think about the words before he regretted them.

He couldn’t stop thinking about the words afterwards, I mean how could he? Jason Todd wanted him. Jason wanted him, Adrien. It was almost unreal, but the look on Jason’s face when he said it…

Adrien wasted no time in grabbing his phone, quickly scrolling through his contacts and pressing the one he saved all those months ago.

The line rang twice, almost three times before it clicked. “Jason?”

“Adrien?” Jason’s voice sounded tired, Adrien almost felt guilty for waking him up, but he needed to say this now or he wouldn’t say it at all.

“I want you.” The blond whispered, his hand on his knee in a tight grip.

“What was that, Kitten?” Jason asked, a teasing tone noticeable in his voice.

Adrien inhaled and then exhaled deeply, trying to calm his nerves.

“I want you.” He said louder, the message clear as day in his voice.

There was a brief pause, only silence being occupying the two. Adrien was close to hanging up the phone, thinking this was a mistake and that Jason didn’t mean what he said earlier-

“You better be sure about this.” Jason’s words brought him out of his thoughts, he almost didn’t catch what he said.

“I am.”

Adrien guessed that was all the confirmation he needed because the next thing he said was, “I’ll be there in twenty mintues.”

Adrien couldn’t wait.

-----------

98: “If we weren’t in public right now I’d have my head between your legs.”

The words itself were enough to have Jason looking at Adrien in shock, obviously not expecting to hear those words leave the blond’s mouth.

Though the shock didn’t last long, not a second later Jason’s mouth formed into a small smirk.

“Oh?” Jason questioned, moving to stand closer to his boyfriend.

Adrien hummed, looking Jason up and down with slightly hooded eyes, distracted. “Just think you look good in a suit is all.” He muttered, looking up into Jason’s amused eyes.

“I think you’d look better out of one.” Jason said, grabbing Adrien’s arm, pulling him closer to his body, their lips inches away from each other.

“Take me home?” Adrien questions softly, his lips ghosting over Jason’s.

Jason didn’t say anything, just stepped away, grabbing Adrien’s hand and slipping away from the room full of people.

Gotham's New Stray

Gotham Menagerie Menace AU: 1 | 2

-Lila swore off the ‘sausage tails’ hairstyle but by god she’s breaking that vow if only so she could use them to strangle Marinette.

-The past month has been an absolute shitshow circus.  Somehow, LB managed to defeat Hawkmoth who turned out to be Gabriel (jfc, just when she thought the asshat couldn’t sink lower) but *gasp* CN has betrayed her! Worse, Adrien is gone!

-So far, no one, not even LB herself, specified what ‘gone’ meant. Was he missing? Was he dead?? Nobody knows and it’s killing them.

-Poor Marinette is naturally heartbroken & worried sick and oh, it’s so romantic how she’s holding onto hope. Just look at the shrine she made for Adrien!

-(Lila will bet her entire Venetian Mask collection that she isn’t the only one who wants to burn the embodiment of a stalker’s delusions & entitlement to the ground.)

-Chloe was throwing money at PIs but with the Hawkmoth revelation, Andre wanted nothing to do with Gabriel, much less his son.

-Felix doesn’t believe he’s dead. Call it stubbornness, call it desperation, call it faith: Adrien was tenacious long before he got the miraculous with an animal said to have 9 lives.

-More importantly, Adrien would Cataclysm himself before betraying Paris (yes, he & the others know bcz secret IDs are bloody overrated).

-Lila, Chloe, Zoe, Nino, Nath, Marc, Felix & Luka are determined to get to the bottom of this but where do they start?

-Their first lead comes in the form of Nathalie.

-Nathalie, who tells them the instructions she gave Adrien; who also shows them the peacock & butterfly miraculous.

-When Adrien Cataclysmed his sperm donor (damn it, all of them would’ve paid to see that), Nooroo barely hid inside his miraculous in time to avoid damage. Luckily, his dormant state made it easier for Nathalie to snatch him & Duusu before LB could.

-Although very suspicious, they begrudgingly accept her help. An adult would make a better scapegoat cover anyway.

-While the others prepare to leave, Felix reaches out to his Gotham pen pal.

F: I’m coming to Gotham. D: And others say my humor is lackluster. F: I’m not kidding. D: And I’m not laughing. D: You’re also not the type to do something without reason. F: Damn right I’m not. I need your help.

-Before leaving, Nathalie tells them one last thing: she’ll hold onto the peacock (she’ll be damned if she lets another kid suffer for her mistakes), but someone has to wield the butterfly. It’s not combat-orientated but being able to empower someone in a place like Gotham? A boon they can’t waste.

Nathalie: Which one of you will accept this responsibility? Chloe: .....just to clarify, Hawkbitch was wearing that like, 24/7? Nathalie: Yes. Chloe: I love Adrien but ew, no, not it. Others: Not it! Nathaniel: Not- damn it! Lila: Twas fate.

-They could’ve sworn they saw Nathalie smile.

Meanwhile in Gotham.......

-Adrien was adapting.

-He’s found a decent building to stay in (Gotham was full of abandoned buildings), got a job at a hole-in-the-wall café & even better, the city was a fresh start for his alter ego!

-Rather than mope around, he’s more determined than ever to continue being a hero. His dad being a villain means he has more to atone for & Gotham may be a slaughterhouse but she never dictated who could play savior.

-He’s established a routine. Whenever he doesn’t have to work at the café/ run errands, he’s prowling around as Stray. He wanders around, helping wherever & whenever needed; saving a stray cat from cruel assholes with nothing better to do, stopping a mugger, befriending other kids who have it rough, he goes where there's trouble which happens to be everywhere.

-(Lots of crime means lots of work that requires lots of focus! Lots of focus means lots of time & less to be spent lingering on many repressed issues/traumas waiting to bite his ass.)

-He becomes a bit of an urban legend. Slowly but surely, he’s welcomed into the community. It’s imperfect & dirty but the slot he’s carving for himself fits him so much better than Paris’s ever did.

-Back home (...? Dare he call it that?), he’s trying his best to take care of all the kwamis. Each were unique & there was never a moment’s peace but Adrien loved them. These tiny gods gave him companionship & guidance despite what his father’s done to one of their kin. 

-They try to teach him everything Fu didn’t & he’s lenient with them. His territory has more paraphernalia for their interests than his. When Adrien’s gone, they use fractions of their powers to chase away any would-be-robbers, giving Adrien’s building the ‘haunted’ status.

-Whenever someone he saves offers compensation, Stray usually asks for some food to feed himself & the kwamis.

-(They probably don’t mind giving food bcz there’s the saying abt feeding strays. But hey, him hanging around means extra protection. It’s a fair price to pay.)

-One night, while feeding a bunch of strays, he gets a visitor.

-Catwoman (he's totally not fanboying, he is.)

-Stray is surprised & a bit scared bcz shit, what if he’s done something wrong? Was he trespassing? Was he unintentionally mistreating the strays?!?!

-Catwoman was simply curious. She heard rumors of a ‘Stray’ lingering around the Narrows. She half-expected the mini menace to be some hotshot punk in over his head but-

-She knows.

-She knows how to spot the signs of abuse with a certainty as familiar as it is painful. She’s seen them all: abused animals, abused women, abused children, abused partners.

-The kit covered it with puns, cockiness & charisma but he wasn’t fooling her.

-It wasn’t just the matching theme. They clicked & before he knew it, they were sitting together on rooftops every night to feed & pamper the strays. Some nights, they sat in companionable silence; others they gossiped & bantered each other into a friendly spar.

-Maybe it was the loneliness & lack of human companionship but Stray found himself looking forward to their nightly hang outs.

-Selina knew it wasn’t her place to take him in like Batman would've; but she tried to teach him some tips before the city’s cruelty could. The first time he appears with a cut on his cheek & a split lip, she doesn’t hesitate to treat his wounds.

-Stray wouldn’t call her a maternal figure (she's neither Emilie nor Nathalie), but he comes to view her as a reliable cool older sister/aunt figure. She was nothing like LB. They were parallel lines: heading in the same direction but never intersecting.

-He’s glad that he’s made a friend.

-But some nights, when he thinks the kwamis are asleep, all of them can hear him cry for the friends & lover he never got to bid goodbye to.

soulmate au?????

Soulmate Au where things that people love/hate appear tattooed on their soulmate’s body. If they love it it’ll be on their front, and if they hate it it’ll appear on their back. The more important it is the closer it is to the heart. They can also move around/disappear over time.

Tim Drake is two years old when he receives his first soulmarks. There are two: the names Sabine Cheng and Tom Dupain are found in elegant script over his heart.

He was alone when he’d found it, attempting to learn how to button up his shirt, and they’d sprung from his skin. He didn’t bother crying. He’d long since lost hope that someone would come for him if he did.

Instead, he’d waited for a maid to come into the room on her rounds and called her over.

The woman had smiled kindly as she explained soulmarks. How they were actually a good thing. How they meant that he was going to fall in love one day and one day he could get married! Like his mommy and daddy!

He’d seen how his mom and dad were sometimes. He wasn’t all that impressed.

Tim decided that the whole ‘soulmate’ thing could wait. He had a shirt to learn how to button.

~

On the other side of the world, however, Marinette Dupain Cheng is born without any tattoos on her body. Her parents don’t think much of it. She was just older than her soulmate, then. Or maybe she didn’t have one. That was fine.

But then, three years later, a computer appeared over her heart.

Marinette didn’t even notice until she was pulling off her shirt for a bath.

She hadn’t been shocked or scared like Tim had been, instead she’d beamed and waddled over to her mother with the widest grin on her face.

“Maman! Maman! Look! I have a soulmark!”

Sabine had smiled and turned to look but, much to Marinette’s confusion, it quickly morphed into an anxious expression.

Then her mother brought the smile back and she figured it must have been her imagination. The woman had reached out to ruffle her hair.

Marinette had finished getting ready and gotten in the bath, and her mother looked her over for a soulmark as she cleaned her. But there wasn’t one. There wasn’t one on her back and, outside of the one that had just formed, there wasn’t one on her front.

Then what was going on? Even abused kids tended to have their parent’s names somewhere on their bodies. But there was nothing.

The next guess was that her soulmate’s parents were dead. Usually, orphans had their housemates’ names on them, so the kid would have to be on the streets. Could a street kid really get enough access to a computer that it appears over their heart?

Sabine finished toweling off her daughter and pressed a kiss to her head after pulling her shirt on.

“Want to watch Pere bake some?”

The little girl’s eyes lit up and she nodded.

~

Whoever Tim’s soulmate was, they were really good at making friends. His chest was littered with names by the end of their first year of school.

And then there was one name on his back, right over his heart: Chloe Bourgeois. He frowned when he saw it.

For the first time since his first soulmark had appeared, he found himself curious about what was going on.

He pulled out his computer and looked up the name, not expecting to find much.

But, it turned out he did. After running an article through google translate (which didn’t work great) he managed to gather that she was the daughter of the mayor of Paris.

So... his soulmate was French.

(Unless they just had a vendetta against a random 3-year-old. Unlikely, though.)

He pulled up a new tab. It never hurt to learn a new language.

~

Their likes and dislikes slowly cropped up on their bodies as time went on.

Tim had smiled despite himself when he saw the pictures cropping up. A whisk was found on his shoulder, and then a video game console popped up on his stomach, and then a sewing needle and buttons could be seen under their parent’s names. On his back, he could find what appeared to be homework and broccoli. Whoever his soulmate was, their life seemed quaint and pleasant.

Marinette had been happy to see all the little things popping up over herself as well. A circus tent on the sole of her foot, a skateboard on her neck, a camera by the computer. On her back, she could see what looked like playing cards. She thought all their hobbies sounded cute (if a bit random). She was just concerned about the distinct lack of names on her body; she hoped that they were at least getting enough social interaction.

~

When she was twelve, it finally happened: a name appeared!

She stared at the script that had displaced the computer and her eyebrows knit together.

Batman.

Maybe a pet’s name? Human names tended to give a first and last name, so...

She typed it into her phone to try and translate it to French and her eyes widened when it actually gave information on someone in this place called Gotham.

A vigilante?

She laid back in her bed and frowned to herself.

In order for a person to show up as a name, there had to be a personal connection. If there wasn’t, like a celebrity crush, it would show up as a picture. But this was text, so…

Well, she hoped that her soulmate was safe.

Over time, more names appeared. They were all just as odd.

Nightwing?

Batgirl?

A simple google search showed they were vigilantes, too. She frowned slightly.

As long as they were okay, she supposed she should just be happy that they were talking to good people.

Besides, being friends with vigilantes seemed kind of cool. She could understand the appeal. She wished that Paris had something like that.

~

When he was fifteen a polka-dotted yoyo appeared over his heart, displacing their family’s names slightly. He stared at the yoyo for a minute in the mirror and then snickered to himself.

“Damn. They must really like yoyos.”

He laughed to himself and glanced at his back to see if anything changed, and was surprised to find that Chloe’s name had been moved away to make room for…

Was that a butterfly?

“And hate butterflies, apparently.”

~

She stared at the tiny bird over her heart.

Computers, skateboards, circuses, photography, and… birdwatching?

Whoever her soulmate was, their hobbies had range.

~

Tim had been changing out of his Robin costume when the names started disappearing.

Panic filled him. He’d heard before that, when your soulmate dies, your tattoos start to disappear.

But a few stayed, as did their hobbies.

He looked over the remaining names.

Their parents were still there, right next to the yoyo. Their family life was okay…

He stared at the other name and his eyebrows knit together.

Who names their kid Chat Noir?

He shook his head slightly. Maybe his soulmate had a black cat and wasn’t good at naming things.

Tim checked his back, mostly out of habit more than anything, and frowned to himself.

The butterfly had disappeared, and in its place were two names:

Lila Rossi and Hawkmoth.

~

She grinned as she twirled around in the dress she’d made. She was rather proud of it, it had a nice red and black color scheme.

She started taking it off, only to realize something.

Everything was gone.

She looked over her skin, running her fingers over where all the tiny tattoos had once been and felt tears form in her eyes.

Her soulmate was…

And then, slowly but surely, something appeared on her chest.

She wiped her eyes and looked at it, only to frown.

A gag gun that said ‘BANG’.

Nerves rattled around inside her. Something was definitely wrong, she could tell. But how could she fix it?

Maybe she could convince Master Fu to give her the horse miraculous? She could drop into Gotham as Ladybug for a little while and check up on them? Sure, she had no idea who her soulmate was, but she knew who they hung out with. She should at least make sure they’re okay.

A few hours later she was dumped unceremoniously onto a Gotham rooftop.

She looked up at the portal Master Fu had dropped her through and made a rude hand gesture, then pushed herself to her feet. She walked to the edge of the roof, dusting herself off as she went, and looked over the side.

Wow, this place definitely looked like the most dangerous city in the world. She could see a guy holding a gun while walking an old lady across the street it was so bad.

She pulled out her phone and looked up a picture of the vigilantes that she’d seen on her chest. Nightwing… Batgirl…  Batman…

Man, did they have to wear such dark colors? It was night! How dare they do the smart thing and make it hard to see them!

Fine. Time to wonder around and pray, she supposed.

She had been considering detransforming and seeing if she could buy a coffee when she heard a click behind her head.

Ah. Fuck.

Part 1/21, 34k words in all

Next

The version on AO3 was edited by me to make it better (in my opinion) but this is the original version if you'd prefer that

You didn’t really give me any specifics so I’m sorry if this didn’t turn out like you wanted. You were probably expecting fluff but uhhhhhh,,, don’t know why you were asking ME for that --

[kawaiichibiart]

It's very tempting (I'm not gonna do it) but part of me wonders if my runaway/circus performer Adrien AU should crossover into the BatFam and the circus he joins just so happens to be Haly's Circus aka the one Dick's from/owns (I think he owns it now). This would definitely be years after the Flying Grayson's last flight/performance, and a few months after Dan Danger's (Dick's) last performance since he isn't a permanent part of the show, he's moreso a special guest who'll show up sometimes.

[intercoursefluids]

Hi! I love, love, love, your work! Holy shit! You gotta be the only one that I know of that does Adribat related stuff without being a Adrien Salter. Jesus, I could literally kiss right now if I could. But I had saw that you had this sleeping schedule, so I understand if you don't get this right away.

But I was wondering if I could get a Tim x Adrien story? With a side of childhood friends to lovers? Like Tim and Adri met at one of the Drakes Parties when they were younger? But also I want a side of relationship reveal, but with Class Field Trip to Gotham City salt. Also, also Tim and Adrien already know each other identities. BAMF bottom Adrien(not enough of those)

Basically all of Lila's lying, Tim x Adrien's relationship, is revealed at one of the Wayne Gala's. Could the only person that knows of the relationship be Chloe? I live for Adrien and Chloe sibling dynamic.

Thanks and please get a proper rest! I don't want you overworking yourself.

Hi, I'm glad that you enjoy my writing but I need to let you know, before you read this, that I *hate* this prompt.

There is nothing actually wrong with it, I just could not get it to work for me, this is the best I could come up with and I do not like how it came out but I refuse to leave you hanging so...

*Throws fic to you and hopes for the best*

If someone else wants to take a crack at this be my guest

Adrien sighed, slinking away from the group of his classmates and friends to go hide near the snack table.

Lila was back at it, complaining and bragging about any and everything, and she wouldn’t stop touching him!

It was so! Annoying!

Sure he was used to it but that didn’t make it any better, especially when it was her.

If Marinette or Kagami had been there they would have separated them (Kagami) or caused a distraction so he could slip away (Marinette), but no, neither of them were there because Kagami was a thief and stole his friend to introduce her to her family in Japan, ensuring that she wouldn’t be here during the schools ‘educational’ end of year trip to Gotham.

Add on to the fact that Chloe was running late and couldn’t ‘bitch her way into getting Lila to leave him alone’, her words not his.

The only plus side to this trip was-

“Adrien! There you are, I’ve been looking for you everywhere! Come on, I want to introduce you to my family.”

-Seeing Tim Drake Drake-Wayne again.

Adrien smiled, hugging his friend tightly.

“Tim! I haven’t seen you in so long! I’ve missed you!”

Tim paused, tightly hugging Adrien back before pulling away with a huge smile.

“I missed you too, where’s Chloe? I thought you two went everywhere together?”

Adrien sighed, running a hand through his hair and messing it up some.

“She’s running late, something about her hair being too frizzy to be seen in public, I think.”

Tim’s smile turned soft, reaching up with one hand to try and fix Adrien’s hair as he used the other to lace their hands together.

“That sounds like her now, are you ready to finally meet the rest of my family?”

Adrien nodded his head rapidly, squeezing Tim’s hand in his own as he started to lead him away.

“Yes I am, you talk about them all the time when we email each other.”

Tim carefully led them through crowds, turning back to smile at him as they came into view.

“Remember, Damian will bite you so don’t touch him without permission and Jason and Steph’s love languages are bullying, they probably won’t be genuinely mean so don’t worry too much-”

“-Cass doesn’t like to talk much, Dick loves puns, and if we start acting out Duke will pretend he doesn’t know us even though he is the one who started the fight, I know, I know. It’ll be fine, let's go.”

Tim takes a deep breath, squeezing Adrien’s hand and shooting him a look that was probably supposed to be reassuring as opposed to the grimace it looked like.

Marching over to his family, Adrien catches the tail end of an argument over someone named Jerry (?) before Tim interrupted them.

“Guys, this is Adrien, my- friend.”

Adrien barely even notices Tim’s stumble over the word ‘friend’ before he gets pulled into a headlock with his hair being violently ruffled.

“Why do you look so stuffy, blondie? This is supposed to be a party!”

Adrien laughs as his hair is messed up, again.

A grin covers his face as Tim pulls him away from his brother with a yelp, wrapping him in his arms and holding him away from them.

“I didn’t bring him over here for you to torment him!”

The one who had been ruffling his hair, Jason if he had to guess based off the white streak in his hair, laughs, pulling Tim into a side hug and shaking him as Adrien is stolen away again.

“So, you are the friend Tim was telling me about, nice to meet you. I’m Stephanie but everyone calls me Steph.”

Adrien smiled at her, shaking her hand.

“Adrien, I don’t really have a nickname but my friends like to come up with names on the fly so feel free to do the same-”

“Adrien! There you are~ We lost you for a minute there.”

Lila's voice is like nails on a chalkboard and Adrien can’t hold back the grimace and glare that momentarily cover his face.

“Damnit. Hi Lila, I was just meeting one of my friends' family.”

Adrien forces a smile on his face, struggling not to cringe away when she comes up and tucks her hand into his elbow, digging her nails into his skin.

“Oh, hello everyone! My name is Lila, Adrien and I are friends, you could say.”

She ends her sentence with a giggle and Adrien doesn’t even bother hiding the small glare on his face this time.

“That's right. We are friends. By the way, I’m pretty sure Alya is looking for you, you should go see what she needs him?”

Adrien’s annoyance is obvious to anyone who looks at him, emphasized by how he makes sure there is no misunderstanding about his relationship with Lila.

Lila glares at him before covering it up and smiling sweetly at Tim’s family.

“Adrien’s right, I really should be getting back. Come find us when you are done here, okay Adrien?”

Adrien was barely able to force out something that sounded vaguely like an agreement out through his clenched teeth as she walked away.

Adrien shook his arm off, rubbing the sore spots from where her nails dug in before his arm was snatched back up.

Adrien looked up, staring at Tim as he gently but firmly started to roll up his sleeve, looking at the little marks left by Lila’s nails.

“Adrien… This isn’t okay.”

Tim runs his thumb over the little marks, brow furrowed as he slowly looks up to meet Adrien’s eyes.

“It’s fine, I'm used to it. People touch me all the time while I’m modeling, it’s not that big of a deal, honestly.”

Tim presses his lips into a thin line, turning to address his family as he laces their hands together.

“We’ll be back soon. If anybody asks, I was feeling sick and needed some air.”

Jason gives him a thumbs up, him and Steph glaring in the direction Lila walked off.

Leading Adrien back through the crowd they head for the stairs, going into a room resembling a study.

Tim pulls Adrien into a hug, squeezing him tightly against him.

Adrien melts into the hug, squeezing him back as Tim runs a hand up and down his back.

“Adrien, she is hurting you. I cannot let her keep doing that. I care about you far too much to just stand by while she hurts you.”

The tension in the air was thick, making Adrien shift from foot to foot as Tim stared at him, holding him down with just his gaze.

“Well, when you say it like that it sounds like you’re in love with me of something, haha…”

Adrien tries to joke, ignoring how it feels more like a dig at himself and his feelings for Tim when he doesn’t laugh with him.

Instead Tim blushes, brightly.

Looking away from Adrien and clearing his throat, a slightly panicked look taking over his face.

Adrien stops laughing, opting to stare at Tim with his mouth wide open.

“Wait, are you?!”

Tim coughs again, turning to face Adrien again.

“Well, while this isn’t how I had planned it, I was going to tell you tonight. I completely understand if you don’t want to be friends anymore or if you are uncomfortable being around me now, I’m not going to force you to stay-”

Adrien rushed forward, grabbing Tim’s hands and holding them to his chest.

“No no no, I like you too! I wasn’t going to say anything but I have feelings for you too!”

Tim’s face gets redder as he looks at anything other than Adrien.

“Good, um, that- that’s great. Do you… Want to be my boyfriend?”

Adrien smiles so hard his cheeks hurt, lacing their fingers together and nodding quickly.

“Yes, yes I want to be your boyfriend.”

Adrien lunges forward, planting a kiss on Tim’s cheek, blushing when Tim tilts his head so kisses his lips instead.

“Well, now that you are officially mine, you can tell ‘Lila’ to fuck off whenever she touches you. Better yet, I’ll do it for you.”

Tim leads him out of the room, still holding his hand.

As they reach the rest of the party, Adrien spots Tim’s family, they are looking up at the two and money is changing hands.

Adrien tugs back on Tim’s hand, causing him to pause and look towards him.

“Maybe just wait for Lila to come up to us again? I don’t really want to cause a scene right now.”

Tim sighed before agreeing, leading him back over to his family where they proceeded to spend most of the Gala.

At some point Chloe had finally joined them, from there she had immediately started embarrassing Adrien with how he and Tim had met as well as several different stories about some of his most embarrassing moments.

Chloe had moved onto thinly veiled stories from Adrien’s times as Chat Noir, causing him and Tim to share a meaningful look as Tim already knew the truth about him being a hero and vice versa.

(When Tim had made his plan to become Robin he had immediately told Adrien about it and when Adrien had first gotten his miraculous he had told Tim about it to get some advice.)

In the middle of Chloe telling everyone how he had fallen into the pool on her roof, Lila came back.

Looping her hand through Adrien’s arm already had him on edge, but when she did the same to Tim, he was pissed.

Adrien quickly removed her hands from both of them, pulling Tim to his other side as he glared at Lila.

“First of all, stop touching me, it makes me want to claw my skin off everytime you touch me. Second of all, do not to Tim. If you put your hands on him one more time I will out you as the lying, two faced snake you are.”

Adrien’s voice doesn’t rise over a harsh whisper but the message is plenty clear to everyone who heard it.

Unfortunately, Lila has always been too cocky for her own good.

“Adrien, I know you aren’t talking to me like that. All I have to do is have a little chat with your father and you will be ripped away from all of our little friends faster than you can say “Sorry”, and let's not forget what I will do to your little friends Marinette and Kagami. I can and will ruin yours and their lives if you don’t apologize to me.”

Adrien goes to reply when Tim holds him back, a loud, deep voice filling the air beside them.

“Is that so, Mademoiselle Rossi?”

Both teens turn to see Bruce Wayne standing beside them, looking absolutely pissed. Not to mention that all of Tim’s siblings have their phones out and are likely recording.

“I had planned to speak with you tonight on several matters but I suppose now is as good a time as any.”

Lila pales, eyes wide as she stares at one of the men she had been lying about the entire trip.

“My children have alerted me to the fact that you have been lying about me and my family since before you even got to Gotham, as well as several other celebrities I have already alerted.”

“I must say, I am severely disappointed to find that not only do you have a problem with lying, but you are also threatening my son’s boyfriend. Come with me, we are calling your mother.”

As Bruce walks away, Lila trailing after him, Chloe’s phone abrupts into loud, hysterical laughter, startling everyone standing too close.

It takes a second but Adrien is able to recognize the sound of Marinette’s voice with Kagami trying to get her to calm down in the background.

Adrien raises an eyebrow at her and Chloe looks back unapologetically.

“What? Mari had a right to hear Liar-la get exposed and you know it.”

Adrien sighs, hugging Tim as he tries to block out the sounds of everyone around them gossiping about what just happened.

… As well as the sounds of Marinette cackling like a mix of a supervillain and a witch emanating from Chloe’s phone.

[normal-piece-of-shit]

Ok, ok. Hear me out.

The Waynes are visiting Paris.

Marinette and Adrien are hanging out on this one fine day, ok? Yes, this isn't a salt fic. And then Adrien jokingly decides that he wants to summon a demon. His reason? None needed! Why did he even need one?

So, yeah. They try summoning a demon. It's a joke, of course, so imagine their surprise when it works!

They summon a demon!

Only thing is, the 'demon' they summoned, is not a demon.

It's a kid. A kid with green eyes and black spiky hair and a face that looks very much like the face of Bruce Wayne's biological son, Damian Wayne.

But the duo don't know that! And all they can do?

Collectively lose their shit.

Adrien: Oh my cheese, Mari! I've sold my fucking soul-

Marinette: It doesn't even look like a demon, what the f-

While, Damian on the other hand, has to take a minute to ground himself because he has no idea how he got here-

And out of no where, he pulls out a sword and points it at them, ready to threaten answers out of them before he kills knocks them out.

Adrien: Holy shit! It has a fucking sword-

Damian: I dislike the foul words that you speak. I command you to stop!

Adrien: It fucking speaks-

Damian: I told you to stop-

Adrien: It's so tiny, holy shit.

Damian: I will call Grayson on you-

While Adrien unknowingly distracts the tiny demon, Marinette quickly disarms him and pins him down.

Marinette: Listen here, demon-

Damian: Demon? Who?

Adrien: WhAt-

Damian looks around, like really looks around, and sees all these demon summoning books and that weird looking drawing on the floor, and realises something.

They were summoning a demon.

And he had somehow been summoned.

Damian: What the fuck am I-

Plagg cackles. Yes, Plagg. Because, of course he'd be the one to pull off something like this!

Our superhero duo groan at this realization, look at this kid and give each other a look.

Marinette: So we're going to be temporarily adopting him, right?

Adrien: What? No! He has a goddamn sword-

Marinette convinces him to adopt him for the time being with her croissants and now Damian has no choice but to follow them around. Without attacking them every other minute.

The duo learns of Damian's identity and find a way to send a message to Bruce Wayne about the whereabouts of his son. They still call Damian 'demon' though.

Anyway.

The two Parisians take him everywhere. And surprisingly, Damian has a really good time and actually grows a little attached to the both of them and will now protect them at all costs-

Note that this is post Hawkmoth’s defeat. So, yeah, no akuma shenanigans! Even if an akuma had come at them, the akuma would've been sliced in half anyway.

The batfam finally arrive, most looking wary and tired.

Dick tackles Damian in a hug and might be crying. Bruce joins them and his face is bruised as though someone Dick had punched him. Jason is somehow in the hug too, don't ask. So is Tim, but for some reason, Damian didn't care.

Well, for like, a minute. He pushes them away and asks them what took so long and that Grayson should stop sobbing so much.

Mari and Adrien are off to the side awkwardly staring during the heartwarming hug scene.

Adrien: Do we...join the hug?

Marinette: No? Maybe? We should be running away??

They're sure that questions are going to be thrown and they can't really answer them. Because secret identities are still a thing. So they do what seems to be the best choice.

They run away while they can.

And when Damian is bombarded by questions and looks for the two, he finds no one there.

Damian does not like this. He doesn't want those two idiots out of his life. He doesn't admit it, just uses the excuse of never getting answers. Pretty stubborn on that reason (´-ι_-｀) .

And that's the story of how Marinette and Adrien are being hunted down by crazy bat people. And keep escaping every time-

Edit: Made a sequel, forgot to link it. Oops. Here ya go, part two.
