When Jason got back home, he told his girlfriend everything about the new competition within the Wayne family. She laughed so hard, she had trouble breathing. They decided together on the best way to prank his brothers and sisters and when it when to do it.
She usually reveal her new fashion lines with pictures or small clips on social media, but this time she decided to do it during a live video. Bringing the prank into it became too easy at this point. If they released the line and the same night went to the Manor for dinner, Jason could present her to his family and this way they could hint LadyLove during that time. She also decided to make original and personalized pieces, for each of the members, hinting this time about her knowing they were the BatFam.

The live fashion show took place two weeks later, on her social media: Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Instagram, etc. From her fifteen pieces, Jason modeled 4 out of seven, for men: a dark jeans with a white shirt, underneath a red jacket, a black suit, with red embroideries showing her abilities with the tread and needle. The last piece he put on was a dirty white jacket, with a hood, but the most important asset of it was showed when Jason lifted the hood over his head and turned his back to the camera. In the back in different shades of greys, Marinette had embroidered the city of Gotham with so much details, it almost looked like a picture. The skyscrapers, the Wayne Tower, the Cathedral and the clouded night sky, it was mesmerised.

The excitement in the Wayne Manor could be felt down the street. Bruce and Selina sat in the living room with the (adults) children, enjoying those moments at the fullest. Tim had set up LadyLove's fashion show, on the television screen, hoping this could help them solve the designer's mystery. They looked at every pieces, starting be the male models, they ended up debating on which one of them would each piece of clothing would fit better.
"Wow, if I didn't know better, I could think this model was Jason," laughed Barbara.
"What!?" asked Dick, not understanding where the comment came from.
"Look at him! He walks just like Jay, it's almost creepy!" explained the redhead and to their surprise, they could only agree with her and to make it worst, the clothes the model was showing were in their brother's style.
This confused them, but they decided to forget about it and once the men's segment of the show was oven, the female models came into view.

Marinette had asked her five employees if they could model during the live streaming of the fashion line and they agreed to it in a flash. Nathan did the first part with Jason and he had brought his girlfriend with him, which was a good thing, especially since she mostly had the same measurements has Marinette and she could model the design she made for herself. Alicia wore a red knee dress, with a laced black neck line, it extended to the upper back and arms, almost like wings. Stacy and Lea wore professional suit one with a skirt the other with an elegant pair of pants. Kiara had on a dark blue jeans and a long sleeve black shirt with white embroidery portraying each current Gotham vigilantes, in shadows style: Robin had his katana in hand, looking like he was fighting Red Robin, who had his Bo staff. Nightwings and Spoiler looked like they were swinging in the air, Black Bat crunching in front of Batman, who had his arms crossed overlooking his wards. Red Hood looked like he was walking in the middle of the team guns in hands, the Signal to his left ready to attack.
The last piece was a surprise for everyone, so when Marinette walked into view wearing a form fitting blue dress and they all gasped and yelled in excitement, she knew her plan had worked.

"I thought they were doing a reveal today. Why are they wearing masks?" Tim sighed before answering Dick.
"No, they're not. But apparently, the last piece is a surprise for everyone, even LadyLove's team, she made it herself. I'm really excited to see it!" Kor'i,
Selina and Stephanie laughed has the boy squealing.
Mar'i didn't understand anything, but she loved watching all the clothes, it was magical. The dress and skirt were her favorite, because that's what princesses wear and she wanted to be a princess when she was older. Sure her mommy was a princess, so was she, that's what her daddy had told her and her uncle Damian had promised to be her knight forever, so it must be true. She was looking at the screen, sitting on her grandpa's laps, drawing every piece of clothes that was modeled during the fashion show. Grandma Selina was helping her, so she would not miss or forget anything.
The whole collection was a success, if you'd asked the Wayne's. But they were still all expecting the final reveal, Tim bouncing in his seat, Dick rapidly saying every single one of his theories about the identity of the mysterious designer and Damian studying each piece of the line, to see if he could get any information on said designer.
"I'm pretty sure they have a connection to Gotham," he said out loud, making the rest of his family turn towards him.
"OMG! You're so right, why didn't I noticed before?" exclaimed Dick. The younger Wayne's statement chaos in the living room, until LadyLove's masked face appeared on the screen has she started presenting the last piece of her line.
The darker blue dress was caressing her curves, long sleeves, with white lace running down the arms. The skirt of the dress stopped just above her knees, combine with knee high white shocks and black flats. The woman turned back completely facing the camera and through the video, they all heard loud gasp and high pitch sounds of excitement.
"What!? Really!?" the principal male model came into view slowly and the designer smiled nodding to him. Their worldwide audience was left confused when the man picked her up and swing her around happily, the rest of the team jumping up and down next to them.
The Wayne's looked at each other before going back to the live streaming, the man having up down LadyLove, she finally turn around and the camera zoomed on the small design on her barely round stomach, making it clear for everyone to see.
'Mini-Bug ♥'
The video went back to film the whole crew and LadyLove, simply smiled at the camera.
"The next line will be out in the next few weeks, it will be called 'MommyLove' and right before Christmas my first 'BabyLove' line will be available. Thank you everyone!" she blew a kiss and ended the live streaming.
"Well, we won't know her identity anytime soon now," said Barbara, leaving the living room for the BatCave to finish some work before diner.
