It's Not A Miraculous Dream

Our Next Meeting

  Damian stood by the window in his Father's office, watching the Sun beaming down on the other nearby buildings. People and cars traveled by, seemingly unfazed by the snow all around the sdcenes. Damian could see a few kids running around, all of them being chased by their parents or other guardians. The teen from above gently caressed his choker, the orb giving an ecstatic feeling again, confusing the boy more. 'It's only been two days since the encounter, but Dekku's still ecstatic about it...' 'Maybe I would be too, had I lived in a better place, growing up...'  Damian coolly thought, trying to sidestep earlier memories. Within the past two days, Dekku had fully explained his situation, making it clear no one was to blame. Apparently - had the Kwami not taken all Quirks - the world would've gone through a "Quirk Doomsday", eliminating all Human Life as he knew it. His restored Father had held the dying boy in his arms, trying to keep the boy around a little while longer. Though, Dekku mentioned - for that world - he had died a month prior, not much changing. Damian was fairly confused before brushing it off, both of them sticking to their world's issue, instead; Hawk Moth. Damian hadn't met him, yet. However - when the two do meet - Damian will bring a full swing of pain to that barbaric ape, making sure everyone knew the bastard whom hurt a Kwami or two. For now, Damian could only try to get his info, merely dreaming of the day that Villain was behind bars. "... Damian?" From the window, Damian saw his Father, Bruce Wayne. Though - his eyes didn't show off any emotions - Damian could tell when his Father was concerned about something. Lightly sighing, Damian looked through the window, continuing to watch everything from before. "Is everything okay?" Bruce coolly asked, his voice monotone to his son's quiet behavior. Damian quietly nodded, though he still trailed off to the scenery. 'Maybe I should tell him about Hawk Moth...' 'I mean - he'll find out about him, anyway...' Damian calmly thought, though even he knew he wasn't calm. Looking to the rooftops, Damian felt his choker heat up, reassuringly giving him the right choice. "... I had gotten recent word of a new Villain in Gotham; Hawk Moth was his name." Damian coolly started, though he hadn't faced his Father for it. Bruce tilted his head, standing beside his blood son. "Is that so...?" Bruce trailed on, closely observing the city and his - oddly quiet - son. Damian hummed, pressing his hand onto the glass, the smooth texture feeling cold to his warmth. "He can 'Akumatize' his victims, or use their negative emotions to turn them into superpowered Villains." Damian grumpily stated, feeling his Father's Baby Blue orbs on him. "So, this person uses people's emotions against them, giving them powers...?" Bruce quizzically asked, still trying to find the source of his son's quiet behavior. Once again, Damian hummed, barely glancing to his Father. "They can be very dangerous, especially since they're going off on raw emotions." Damian roughly stated, remembering the incident two Nights prior. Pushing the memory aside, Damian heard his Father hum, appearing to look through the window as well. "So, do you know what he looks like?" Bruce casually asked, watching a few birds fly past the clear window. Damian shook his head, a small growl barely escaping his throat. "No, but I have a hunch we will..." Damian bitterly spoke, his fists clenching in anger. 'Boom' Looking, the two saw smoke rising from the park, screams and alarms blaring towards them. Bruce quickly turned, running towards the door. "Maybe that hunch is right now!" Bruce quickly exclaimed before rushing through, disappearing through the now closed door. Damian looked between the door and park, already feeling a rush of anger. 'Here we go.' Damian rushingly thought, holding his Miraculous closer. "Dekku, Fangs Out!"

At the park~

  Screams could be heard, running footprints coming from all sides. Tables were flipped, animals ran wild, crying was heard, and more explosions came in. Damian flew over the crowd, trying to find the Akuma. 'Fwisshh' Stopping, Damian grabbed the dagger, looking towards the sky. There stood a 12-year-old girl, their brown hair was cut in a pixie with green streaks, while their tan skin had darker shades of green stripes. She appeared to be a Turtle, though she had a dark aura surrounding her. Her eyes were switching colors like a tv screen, the same colors pooling from her orbs. She held a long staff, which bared a shell logo inside the orb on top of the weapon. "Get out of my way, Bat!" The girl angrily yelled as she swung her staff, green goop shooting out. Dodging, Damian watched as the goop disintigrated the ground from below, just barely slowing down in the ground. Looking back, Damian narrowly avoided the goop again, flying higher than the girl. 'I have to get that Akuma away from her!' Damian quickly thought, flying around the girl. "Go away!" The girl yelled, but Damian continued. 'Maybe some White Flame will help...' Damian rushingly thought, readying his aim. Suddenly, a batarang shot between the two, going long into a tree. 'Shit!' Damian roughly thought, watching the girl swing for Batman, the goop coming closer to him. "Fuck!" Damian yelled, flying to his Father, lifting the elder of the two into the air. Having dodged the goop, Damian set Batman by Superman, both heroes confused. "Deal with the civillians! I'll keep her on my tail." Dammian quickly spoke, flying back before either adult could argue. Getting in the girl's way, Damian tried to keep her focus, but was oddly struggling. Everyway he went, she would avoid his spot, shooting towards the slowly decreasing civillians. 'She's really not wanting to deal with me?' 'I pose as a threat, right now!' Damian hotly thought, stopping dead in front of the girl. "Hey!" Damian called, watching the girl glare his way. Unfazed, Damian took a deep breath, quickly thinking of his wording. "Did someone hurt you? You can't be akumatized without a reason!" Damian hastily spoke, his voice burning from the readying fire in his throat. The girl viciously growled, her eyes glaring deeper. "They hurt us! They were going to hurt them! I want them to stop!" The girl bitterly screamed, shooting more goop towards the teen. Damian dodged, looking around for the civillians. 'No one's here, but the heroes and police.' 'Good.' Damian quickly thought, shooting ice towards the next goop blasts. "Miraculous Ladybug!" A petite voice called, causing both fliers to look over. A blinding light hit them both, the two falling closer to the ground. 'Shit!' Finally seeing this, Damian grabbed the girl, both landing safely on the ground. Thankfully, the girl de-transformed and was unconscious, revealing her natural appearance. 'Good.' Looking up, Damian saw the Akuma flying away, quickly using his White Flame to purify the creature. The white Butterfly flew off, aimlessly wandering the sky. A crowd of police and heroes walked over, but one form caught his eye further down the lane. 'Ladybug.' Damian coolly thought, quickly lifting the unconscious girl to an officer. "If you see any dark Butterflies; Don't touch them! They'll turn you into what she was." Damian quickly spoke, watching the officer's look turn to scared worry. Before anyone could ask, Damian walked off, trying to reach the Ladybug that was talking to the news with Batman nearby. "... They were 'Akumatized', or turned into a Villain via their negative emotions. Please - if you see a dark Butterfly - do not touch them; They will turn you into a Villain ready to cause harm!" Ladybug worriedly stated, her french accent rolling through the busied park. "Miss, how long will it be until you find the creatures starting this? What should the people of Gotham do, until then?" A news reporter called, her voice laced with more worry. Damian stood next to Ladybug, gently squeezing her tense shoulder. "We know the enemy's name is Hawk Moth and he is one hell of a manipulative bastard. We are trying as hard as we can to locate him, but - seeing how big Gotham is - that is proving to be a challenge. However, we advise civillians to remain calm, until we have located this bastard. We will let you know when we have more information." Damian calmly spoke before more reporters asked questions. "What are your names? How did you two do that fight? Should everyone lock themselves in their homes, or stop having feelings?" Damian raised his hand, instantly quieting the area. He noticed Batman start to walk over, both Males sighing. "This is Ladybug; One of the heroines of Paris. I - on the other hand - am Dracul, and I am here to stop Hawk Moth and put him behind bars. No more questions to us." Damian coolly stated before holding Ladybug close, quickly flying away. Breathing a quick puff of Fire, the two disappear from sight, surprising more crowds than before.

  A few minutes later~

  Damian gently landed on a rooftop, setting Ladybug down soon after. Turning, the two faced each other, though only Ladybug smiled. "Thank you, Dragul. I didn't know you could purify an Akuma, too!" Ladybug happily stated, extending her hand to shake. Damian accepted, though he still didn't smile. "T'was not a problem. Although, I would recommend not blinding me, next time..." Damian casually stated, watching Ladybug hum in surprised. The girl giggled, her soft voice radiating a calm aura on the rooftop. Damian closely watched, feeling his choker warm in joy to her reaction. "Sorry about that, Dragul. I'll try letting you know before I flash you." Ladybug playfully spoke, her Bluebell orbs shining in agreement. Damian nodded, watching a bird fly past the two. Ladybug softly hummed, enjoying the city's view. "Sadly, I do have to go; No telling where those Akumas will be, next." Ladybug calmly stated, hearing a small huff escape the Bat wielder. "Alright; Good luck and stay safe. Gotham isn't the safest place to be in, you know." Damian neutrally stated, though surprised he told someone to "stay safe". Ladybug giggled again, her soft smile being a light of its' own to the boy. "I will, Dragul. The same goes to you!" Ladybug cheerfully stated before swinging off, leaving Damian on the rooftop alone. 'She seems too nice for this city.' Damian coolly thought, sighing soon after. Turning around, the teen quickly took flight, purifying the nearest Akuma he saw. 'Honestly, you tell people to stay calm, but that worries them, further.' 'They should just do what I do...' Damian crudely thought, flying towards Wayne Enterprise. 'Now, how do I get in, without being seen...?' Damian quizzically thought, observing the building's layout. Judging by the lack of people through the windows, the building was seemingly empty, though there were still cameras to worry about. 'Maybe the alleyway...?' 'Sadly, Father would still question my whereabouts...' Damian unexcitedly thought, making a quick hook for the nearest alleyway. Landing, Damian noticed the empty scenery, everything still in a neat mess. 'That's a relief.' "Dekku, Fangs In!" Damian called, going back to his original form. 'Hopefully, Father doesn't ask too many questions, this time...' Damian bluntly thought, casually walking towards the entrance. While - Damian had his Miraculous Secret - Bruce was always so keen on knowing what Damian was hiding, making it difficult for the boy to keep quiet. There were times where Damian had nearly been caught, simply because his Father has his nosey ways. However, Dekku always tried his very best to help, while in the Miraculous. 'Sometimes, I just wish Father would let it go...' Damian coolly thought, keeping his eyes peeled for more Akumas. Suddenly, someone dragged the teen, stopping once they were in a dark room. Before he could do anything, Damian saw the light on, noting his Father's costume.
