Look What You Made Me Do

Jason To Ladybug: "May I Have This Dance Even If Our Hands Aren't Tied?"

(A/N:Dick gets a surprise! I had fun with twitter again.)

Dick was exhausted, he had done so much running around that day! He had quickly caught onto Marinette and Damian's strategy and accepted the challenge; he liked to think he lost with grace, dignity, and a socially acceptable amount of sulking. Hey may not have been able to see much of the big date but on the bright side Mar'i had enjoyed herself. It wasn't like Harley and Ivy had had any better luck. At least he didn't think so since neither had any pictures posted on their twitter. He followed both on his Nightwing account since he thought it might look strange if Dick Grayson followed them. Though there was a good chance that they had so many followers they wouldn't notice. It made sense for Nightwing to follow since it could be seen as good naturedly check ups. Posting wouldn't seem weird. What reason did Dick Grayson have to do that? Not a lot.

Dinner was delicious as ever and he couldn't help but smile as Mar'i told Marinette how much fun she had had that day. And if he skillfully the amused looks Marinette shot him as Mar'i congratulated her and Damian for how good they were at hide and seek she was gracious enough to not say anything on the matter.

"And then me and Daddy got cotton candy and we had so much fun Nettie, though Daddy said I couldn't feed any to the petting zoo animals."

"Your Daddy was right to say that sugar would make them sick." Marinette smiled. Dick had of course noticed that Mar'i had started to call Marinette Nettie but didn't comment on it. She had called her Mari before but wondered if she had switched because it sounded like her own name. It was cute how quickly his little princess had accepted Marinette.

"Time for dessert!" Dick looked up with interest, Marinette had been making something every day since she came to the Manor. Alfred had tried to tell her she didn't have to but she said she was happy to do so and that baking was a fun and relaxing hobby for her. He was glad that she wasn't being pushed into taking over her family's bakery and was instead being allowed to pursue the career path she wanted.

"Tah-dah!"

Dick's eyes went wide at what had just been put on the table. Marinette had made a pineapple upside down cake. "Did you cut the pineapple into Nightwing symbols and dye them blue?!" That was obviously what she had done because that was what he was looking at.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Marinette smiled at Dick's surprised face. "Yup," she answered, making the p sound pop. "Damian said Nightwing is your favorite. He also told me that you used to be an acrobat in the circus. A pineapple upside down cake is light and airy, it does it's own thing by starting off upside down to seem right side up which is just like what I've seen from you. I can't imagine you trying to act boring and normal anymore than I can see trying to bake a pineapple upside down cake right side up!"

Marinette had made a point to ask about everyone's favorite member of the vigilante team that protected Gotham, and found it funny that it seemed like everyone was a shameless cheerleader for their alter ego. Though this way when she made a treat for someone if she wanted she could now incorporate that alter ego into the dish without needing to make up a story.

She could tell from the amused look Jason was giving her that he was impressed with her.

"Oh, you looked a little down earlier so I also sent something to your phone." she added as she started to help Alfred pass out the slices he had just cut.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dick was flattered, he had not expected to be included in Marinette's quest to provide special treats for her host family. Okay, so maybe he had been a little jealous of Timmy's Red Robin chocolate espresso beignets. But only a little!! Her explanation just added another tally mark for the Marinette Is A Magical Baking Pixie Girl.

The cake was perfect. It was light, fruity, and sweet. Not that he expected anything less from Marinette. He had already taken pictures with plans to post them. He was distracted by the beautiful deliciousness before he remembered what Marinette had said about sending him something on the phone. When he opened it he gasped. Marinette had sent him pictures from her day at the fair. There were selfies with her and Damian, pictures of Damian playing fair games or eating unhealthy fair food, there were even some pictures of himself and Mar'i looking around for them.

"How did you get an angle this high?" he asked, looking confused.

"Marinette is very creative." Damian answered with a smug smile.

God...their wedding is going to be absolutely amazing!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'

Marinette groaned as she was shaken awake. "Tikki?" she groaned looking at her kwami, she looked and saw that Pollen had also woken up Chloe.

"Marinette the akuma alert on your phone went off!"

"My Queen, please check your phone!"

Instantly Marinette felt herself jolt into being fully awake as she grabbed her phone. She opened the akuma alert and took in the details. "Tikki spots on!"

Once she transformed she was about to call for Kaalki but Chloe stopped her. "Wait!"

Ladybug looked at her friend in surprise. "What is it?" Chloe knew the routine. They couldn't both go unless it was absolutely necessary. Chloe held out her phone and Ladybug's eyes went wide as she read a text message Chloe had just gotten.

"Come get me." She didn't know the number, however the contact name was Midnight.

"It's from Jason." Ladybug said even though it was obvious

"Looks like he's letting you know he's ready to put his claws out." Chloe said softly.

Ladybug was touched, she had made it clear that she would only come get Midnight when they needed his cataclysm, so his life wouldn't be interrupted anymore than it had to be by the Paris problem. But here he was telling her he was ready to go with her. She guessed that he too had put the akuma alert app on his phone so he would be able to let her know he wanted to come with her before his power was needed.

"He truly is going to be my partner." she whispered to herself. Tears of relief came to her eyes but she blinked them back. It had been such a long time since she felt like she had true support from the cat miraculous. Chat had put her on edge but it was only now that she had Jason that she was able to see how much she had dreaded coming together with Chat Noir in those last days.

"Kaalki....Tikki.....unify!" She had a cat to pick up on the way.

(A/N:Jason is in this until the end!

Ohmigod I did not know Christina Vee has sung covers of other songs until recently. Hearing Marinette's voice be Heather Chandler is amazing. In my head it's her, Chloe, and Kagami lol. She has done some Steven Universe songs but sadly not Change Your Mind. She has stuff up on Spotify but you can also find some of it on YouTube!))
