"But who does that?" Bruce asks with more than a little bit of disgust.

Jonathan shrugs. "Neglectful parents, obviously. But that's not why we're here. Damian asked Marinette to hang out with us for the rest of her trip so-"

Clark interrupts. " Damian asked her?"

"Yes, I did," Damian says, rolling his eyes. What was the big deal?

"Believe me, I was shocked too," Jon whispers loudly. "But anyway, we're going to ask her to stay in the Manor so that she's safe."

"Yes," Bruce says thoughtfully. "I think that would be a good idea. We'll just have to be a little more careful about our nightly activities."

"Then it's settled."

Jon rolls his eyes playfully as everyone fights over who gets to call Marinette for dinner.

It was actually kind of disturbing to see how she managed to get everyone wrapped around her fingers.

"It's my turn-" Stephanie was shouting.

Tim scoffs and interrupts her. "You always say that, Steph. I'm going to go." He stands up but immediately Jason lunges towards the door to run to Marinette's room.

Almost everyone starts protesting when Tim does that because he's always the one to say that and he knows it too.

Jon snickers when he sees the expression on Bruce's face. It's the I'm-going-to-adopt-this-child expression.

"Oh, no, B," says Dick, having noticed the expression too, "Don't you dare adopt Marinette."

Everyone goes silent and stares at Bruce - who freezes with the expression on his face.

And then two seconds later, everyone is listing the reasons why he can't adopt her ( "She already has parents!" " Neglectful ones-" "You don't know that!" ) and then Damian and Jon are out of the room.

"I can't believe Father is considering adopting Angel." Damian grumbles as they walk up the stairs.

You're saying that because then you won't be able to date her, Jon wants to say but he stops himself just in time.

Though none of them had said it outright, it was clear both of them were completely smitten by Marinette.

Snapping out of his thoughts, Jon knocks and opens the door to Marinette's room just as she's walking out from a portal as the French superheroine Ladybug?

Jesus Christ, things just got a lot complicated.

Marinette swears she never meant for this to happen. Honest.

She didn't know Chat Noir wouldn't show up to Style Queen and so she had to fight against the akuma herself - making her late.

She was distracted the whole time, her thoughts ultimately going to the email she received from the Style Queen herself. Come with me to New York, and I'll make all your fashion dreams come true.

Needless to say, she was exhausted when she portaled into her room into Wayne Manor - she was pretty sure she burst Damian and Jon's eardrums when she figured out who Damian was - and thus didn't realize her friends were in the room until one of them made some kind of noise.

"Oops?" she says when Marinette sees them standing at her door.

Tikki snorts, devouring her cookie while Kaalki sniffs haughtily.
