Bio!Dad Bruce

Chapter 4

HI! One of these little stories was inspired by a comment left by jumpingjoy28.

Enjoy!

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

Dick's not going to lie. When he first heard about Marinette supposedly pulling a Damian and trying to kill Jason, he was skeptical. Because no matter what Bruce seemed to believe, Marinette had never been anything other than sweet if a little reserved. Dick was just convinced that Marinette was incapable of acting anything like Damian had when he'd first arrived.

Then she attacked him. 

It had been a normal day for Dick. He'd gotten up early, practiced a routine on the trapeze before breakfast, and then joined his family when Alfred called. Of course, he wasn't the only one to notice that their newest sister wasn't at the table. In fact, she hadn't been for the past week. Dick and Tim were starting to get worried. Jason and Damian seemed completely fine about it. 

After he'd finished eating, Dick decided he was going to go find Marinette and make sure she was okay. It took (three hours) a little searching before he found her in the sunroom, enjoying the warming effects of the sun. Dick smiled and approached her slowly, unconsciously falling into a Nightwing-like stalk so that he didn't startle the teenager.

Much to his surprise, Marinette turned to face him with the sweetest smile on her face. Inwardly Dick cooed, how could anyone say she wanted to kill them when she was this adorable? Then she stood and walked up to him, still smiling, and said oh so sweetly, "I'm going to kill you." after which Marinette skipped out of the room humming a happy tune.

Dick was so startled by what she said that he actually flinched when she said it and ended up falling on his butt. As he watched her leave, Dick found he could see the resemblance between Damian and Marinette a little easier now.

===

If Jason hadn't been the first one attacked, his reaction to hearing that Marinette wanted to kill them would have resembled Dick's. The teen is tiny and looks like she's one mean comment away from a mental breakdown half the time. So the idea of her sharing Demon Spawn's homicidal tendencies is a little hard to believe.

But he had been the first attacked and had to admit, the girl had style. Sure she was untrained, and all over the place with her attack, but Jason had to give her points for originality and tenacity. If he hadn't been trained by Batman (and later the league) he definitely wouldn't have survived her. 

Then he heard what she did to Dick, and promptly died laughing. It was a good half hour before he could breathe normally again, and even after that, he was prone to burst into little fits of giggling for the rest of the day. 

Marinette had quickly risen to his favorite sibling.

===

Tim was well aware of what Marinette was capable of, even before she started the murder attempts. How you may ask? Marinette had found and stolen all of his secret coffee stashes for herself, and now refused to tell Tim where they were. 

This meant she was next to pure evil in Tim's mind. He could share the wonderful drink (if bribed) with a fellow insomniac, but outright stealing it? And then not sharing? That's just pure cruelty.

When she didn't show up for a single meal for a week, Tim got worried about what she was planning. Because going that long without facing them definitely meant she was planning something.

Dick's scare, only further proved Tim's point. Marinette was up to something and she was more than willing to play dirty. Of course, he was quickly silenced when a fresh pot of the best coffee Tim had ever tasted showed up in his room with the note, 'There's more where this came from if you keep quiet.'

It wasn't even a question for the tech genius.

No pov from Damian yet. He'll probably get his own chapter.
