An Evening in Gotham City

If there was one thing Marinette didn't expect to see today, it was her cousin moonwalking in the air as Robin threw projectiles at aliens.

"Why aren't you helping him?" Marinette asked and they both looked over at her.

"Because I/he's got this," they both said at the same time. Marinette went to sit near her cousin who was now squatting almost upside down off the side of a building.

"Is it always like this?" Marinette asked curious.

"More or less, he likes showing off and I'm not exactly complaining here, you deserve a break Mari and that's why we're here instead of the farm or Metropolis. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show," Jon said turning her head to face Damian who was standing on the last alien shaking his hair out. Marinette felt her heart beat stronger and face burn up.

"Come on, let's go," Damian said smacking Jon on the head and he winced.

"Let's do something fun Dami," Jon said pulling on Damian's arm.

"And what do you suppose would be better than this?" Damian asked making Jon roll his eyes.

"Literally anything, you're just showing off." Jon and Damian stared at each other having an argument with their eyes.

"I suppose there could be something better to do," Damian finally gave in cursing whoever up there gave him Lois' glare but Clark's innocence in his eyes.

"So where are we going?" Marinette asked.

"Back to the manor to get some stuff but then we're going someplace very special in the morning," Jon said rubbing his hands together almost starting to laugh.

"We know how much trouble that girl has been giving you, Jon talks about it nonstop. So we are going to put an end to Liela and her friends," Damian added smirking.

"You two don't have to do that," Marinette said and Damian put a hand on her shoulder.

"Trust me, we want to, Jon says the heathen says she's dating me. I'd aim for a much better partner," Damian said winking at her and Jon's eyes bugged out of his head as he tried not to laugh at his friend's attempt at flirting.

They arrived back at the manor and Jon pulled Damian aside.

"You liiiiiiike her," Jon teased punching him on the shoulder.

"No I... I just feel like I know her and she's different," Damian said trying to defend himself looking over at Mari who transformed back and took her hair down walking to the elevator waving at them.

"Whatever you say." Jon walked up to the elevator soon after going to find his cousin and leaving Damian to think.

He's never felt this way about a person before. Sure he likes Kent but this girl means more to him somehow. He always thought that Kent would be the most important person in his life beside Grayson. He likes Kent and Grayson but he... loves Marinette.

That's a lot to think about. Damian walks up the stairs and to his room head hitting the pillow and once he's out he dreams of all the things he can do tomorrow to make Marinette happy.
