She's Sunshine, She's Grace, She'll Punch You in the Face

Chapter 4: Learning Something New

"So, how much longer until Sunshine wakes up?" Red Hood asks.

"It shouldn't be too much longer." Red Robin informs. "Once she wakes up though, we will need the paramedics to check her over one last time and Gordon still needs to take her statement. I still can't believe she beat Scarecrow while under the influence of the fear toxin. My readings here show that this was a more strong and potent strain than the one we are used to."

"Wow." Nightwing turns his attention to Red Hood. "Why didn't you tell me that this 'Sunshine' of yours was such a bad ass? You know when B finds out about her, he will immediately want to adopt her."

Jason sighs heavily. "Yeah. I honestly had no idea she was a bad ass. According to all the witnesses, she single handedly took out two of the tree guards Scarecrow had plus the creep himself. Her friend over there," he points to a blonde boy just on the other side of the police tape "he took out the last one. He's also the one who triggered the alarm for the emergency exit. We really need to look at the surveillance camera when we get back to the cave."

"Uh, hello?" All three hero's snap their heads into the direction of Marinette, who seems to just be waking up. "What happened?" She asks, slowly sitting up while rubbing her head.

"You were hit with Scarecrows fear toxin and you tackled him through a window." Jason answers first. "How are you feeling, Sunshine?"

She narrows her eyes at him for a long moment before finally responding. "I guess that explains the bandages on my arms." Marinette looks over herself to inspect the damage then looks over at Wayne Tower and the broken second story window. "Mr. Wayne probably won't be too happy I smashed his buildings' window."

"This isn't the first time something like this has happened, little lady." Nightwing reassures her. "And it certainly won't be the last. I know for a fact that he wont hold this against you."

"So Parisian girls crash through Mr. Wayne's window with a super villain on a weekly basis or something?" She jokes, trying not to feel too bad about what she did.

"No." Red Hood laughs. "It's usually just the villains and possibly one of us. You are one of a kind. Although I gotta say, I am very impresses. I don't think anybody in that entire building could have done what you did."

The bluenettes face goes red with the embarrassment of his complement. "W-well I don't know about that. I just wanted to save my class. We all used to have to deal with villains all the time back when Hawkmoth was still running the streets."

"Hawkmoth?" Red Robin questions. "Who's that?"

Marinette looked puzzled for a moment before answering. "He was Paris's villain of just over three years. He would target people with strong negative emotions and send out an akuma. A butterfly corrupted with dark energy that possess them. He would give people super powers in exchange of promising to obtain Ladybug and Chat Noir's Miraculous. I can't believe you have never heard of this."

"No offence but that just sounds insane." Red Robin says. "And we deal with the clinically insane all the time. Plus, who is Ladybug and Chat Noir anyways? And what's a miraculous?"

Smiling, Marinette nods. "I guess from an outside perspective it would sound strange, but here, let me show you." She pulls out her phone from the small bag she is carrying. After tapping on it for a few moments, she turns it around to show the three heroes a video from a news helicopter.

They watch on as a news anchor describes the scene before her in French. She is above the Eiffel Tower and the camera zooms in on a large swarm of butterflies making out the face of none other than Hawkmoth. They also see a small girl in red polka doted spandex swinging a yo-yo, seemingly capturing all of the butterflies. She ends up making a lovely speech on how her and 'Chat Noir' would always be there to protect the city. At the end it showed her releasing all the butterflies, but instead of them being a sickly purple color, they are a beautiful pure white. She then shouts a few words and throws something into the air. Ladybugs swarm all around the air and seem to fix things that were once broke. The camera cuts to a stone statue before the magical ladybugs engulf it and replaces them with ordinary people. Then the video ends.
