Better Than Revenge

"She's not a saint, and she's not watch you think, she's an actress."

"There is nothing I do better than revenge."

Marinette felt a smirk crawl on her face. She couldn't help it. She won.

"Lila Rossi you are under arrest for working with a known terrorist, aggravated assault, deception, defamation, suicide baiting, and many other offenses. Everything you say can and will be used against you in the Court of Law."

It was pure chaos. The class was sobbing, shock stuck on their faces. Lila was screaming in Italian, threatening Marinette in every way she could.

This moment felt like a dream come true. Ever since Lila said her first lie all Marinette ever wanted was to beat her at their little game. After years of abuse lead by Lila, years of trying to not give into all the talks of suicide, she was finally free.

Hawkmoth was gone. Lila was going to jail. The rest of the class was being sued. The school was being shut down due to too much corruption.

Marinette was free.

"We have all your stuff packed and ready in the jet. We can leave whenever you are ready."

The voice of her savior broke her thoughts. Marinette looked to him, her heart swelling with love.

Damian Wayne wasn't like most people, Marinette knew that. People saw him as a cold hearted person. Maybe he was to them, but not to her. She met him when he came as Robin to help with the Hawkmoth situation. Ever since he saw her sobbing on patrol, way too weak to move due to the beatings from her classmates, he has been by her side ever since.

He transferred to Dupont. Met her in their civilian form. They both knew who each other was immediately. He was furious to see how the class treated her, furious at how much emotional damage they had caused her. But he pushed his anger aside and immediately took to helping her heal.

Damian was misunderstood and was also a huge softie. Marinette had realized that when the two of them had started dating. He was clingy and touch starved. He was also protective over her.

He was like her guardian angel. Just like she was his.

Marinette smiled up at Damian, a tear fell down her cheek but she paid no mind to it. "Thank you." She whispered.

Damian wiped the tear away with his thumb and immediately brought her closer, resting his forehead against hers. "Don't thank me. You deserve to be happy, this was the least I could do."

Marinette rolled her eyes playfully. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a peck on the lips. "I couldn't have done this without you. Of course I'm going to say thank you."

Damian grinned. "Anything for you, Habibi."

Marinette giggled and then rested her head against his chest, watching all of the chaos continue.

Lila's mother was screaming at Lila for how horrible she is and how she will be sent back to Italy to serve time in prison.

The class was starting to yell at each other and Lila, either about how worse they treated Marinette or about how much they hated Lila.

Bustier and Damocles were also being arrested for tons of corruption and tons of other things that they shouldn't have done.

Marinette warned Lila not to cross her, and that she will lose a lot from her lies. Lila just never believed she was good at revenge. Saying that a low life baker daughter couldn't harm her.

But she knows now that there was nothing Marinette did better than revenge.
