Leen's Attempt At Daminette December 2020

Hot Chocolate For You Thoughts?

Damian smiled as his wife fed their daughter. He had come a long way since he was dropped on his father's doorstep. He couldn't help but wonder what his life would be like if he hadn't met her.

~Flashback~

Damian had met her at a rouge attack. It was the Riddler, he had taken him and her hostage. They were tied to a chair, hands behind their back. What confused him was the fact that she wasn't panicking at all. "Just my luck," the girl grumbled, "The pamphlet said to leave at 5, but no, they just had to leave at 4. Figures she would do this." As she grumbled she managed to untie the knots and set her hands loose.

"How did you-" She cut him off, "One of my friends live on a boat, I know my way around knots." She untied him and began to look around. They were inside the cafeteria, there was nothing much they could use there. Or so Damian thought. The girl took the ropes that they were bound with and walked to the door. "Question is, how good are you with knots," she turned to face him with a grin.

She hopped up onto a shelf quietly and knocked on the wall. A goon opened the door and was about to raise his gun at Damian when the girl jumped down and tied him from the back. She reached for his communication device and crushed it under her shoe. She took the other rope and gestured for Damian to follow her. Damian would be lying if he said he wasn't in awe of the girl. While most people would have panicked, she not only dealt with it calmly but also managed to form a plan.

Soon both of them were walking outside with the Riddler's goons already unconscious. They were greeted by the commissioner and Batman. "Little late to the party aren't ya?" the girl said. Both heads snapped towards her. She continued, "Most of the henchman are unconscious, one was tied along with the Riddler himself. And before you ask, if you think maman would've let me come to Gotham without knowing how to defend myself you are idiots. And fyi Batman, if you think that glare is scarier than her's you're mistaken." That last sentence had made Batman glare harder but the girl had only raised an eyebrow showing him that she isn't intimidated.

"Sorry you had to witness that, Monsieur... I'm sorry, where are my manners. I'm Marinette," Marinette said, "You are?" Damian was quite shocked by the fact that she didn't know who she was but the genuineness she held simply couldn't be faked. "Damian," he said shaking her hand. "Well Damian, would you like to swap numbers? I'd like to get to know you," she said. Damian quickly agreed and after that she left. Unfortunately for Damian, Dick had witnessed the whole interaction. "You got a crush, lil' D?" he asked teasingly. "Shut up, Grayson."

~Flashback Ends ~

"Hot chocolate for your thoughts? I'd offer you a penny but hot chocolate's all I have right now," Marinette said returning from putting to sleep with two cups of said drink in her hands. "Just thinking about how we met," he said. He knew the answer, his life would never have been complete without her.
