Super Sons Fanfic - Daminette: My Story

Chapter 4

Marinette's POV

I woke bright and early the next day and made myself a cup of tea. It was around 4 am. I heard footsteps coming down the staircase and was surprised to see Garfield Logan. We stared at each other for a while before he walked past me to get to the fridge and take out a tub of ice cream then walked past me.

"Hey, why don't you go out anymore?" I questioned him. He paused then glared back at me. "That's none of your business. And why are you still here anyways?" My eyes widened. What's...with that attitude. So rude. "Maybe if you were still active you would know why. And as far as I know, I don't owe you an answer when you're no longer the leader of the Outsiders. You abandoned your friends...and the teens you promised salvation as Beast Boy."

Garfield: My Reasons and My Life Are Of No Concern To A Wannabe-Teenage Singer Who Everyone Likes Because Of Her Voice and Looks! I have the right to sit back and rest after having to save lives day and night. You don't know what really happens behind the scenes and the dangers we face! How could You possibly know!?

I stared blankly at him. Two of the doors upstairs opened and Kid Flash and Superboy walked outside. I walked up to Beast Boy and scoffed, "You also don't know a day in my shoes. So if you wanna shout at me and let out your anger because you're unhappy with your current condition, go right ahead. At least people still believe in me." I patted his shoulder and went back to the medical bay, the two boys joining me.

"You finally got him to speak, at least. He's been cooped up in his room for over 2 months." Kid Flash commented. I sighed. Superboy then looked at me. "The reason why he's like this is because of Superboy's passing." My eyes softened, "About that..my condolences. I heard that he's been MIA for a while. I'm sorry."

"It's alright. Most of the team is recovering from the initial shock as for me, I take it out while sparring with Robin. I miss Uncle Conner. But..I've learnt how to move on. I can't quite accept it but I have the memories to push me on." I smiled. "Now then you should get some more rest, you have a big day tomorrow." Kid Flash said, pushing me back to the medical bay.

I woke up and got ready, Jerry bringing me a new change of clothes. First I needed to go to Taos and collect my inhibitor collar then I could go to my meeting. Jerry flew me to Taos in my private jet and we were off. In a few hours we had arrived and landed next to another jet. Waiting was El Dorado, Mr. Dorado Sr., and if I'm not mistaken Jason Todd and Damian Wayne, sons of Bruce Wayne.

I climbed down the stairs and was met by Jason. "Oh my gosh, I'm a huge fan! May I have another autograph please?" he squealed and handed me a piece of paper and a pen. I raised a brow, handing him back the paper. "What do you mean by 'another'?" He grinned, "Me and this demon," he said, pulling Damian into a forced hug, "Are Red Hood and Robin."

My eyes widened briefly before I smiled, "Really. So does that mean-" "Yup, Bruce Wayne is the Batman." I giggled, "So it's a family thing." Mr. Dorado Sr. interjected our convo and led me inside the building, the boys and Jerry following behind me.

"From what my son has told me, you were one of the kidnapped teenagers and have been resting at the Outsiders' building in Los Angeles." I nodded. "Do you want to try to control your powers instead?" I smiled. "Of course but not right now. I have an important meeting today so I just stopped by for an inhibitor collar. I kinda don't wanna let the world know that Nettie has powers just yet."

He led me inside his office and pulled one of his desk drawers open and took out one of the collars. "I have a question." He nodded for me to proceed. "Can that work even if it doesn't go around my neck? Like could it work around my thigh or something. This meeting is with my managers and not even a turtleneck could cover that thing."

"No, I'm afraid not. The collars work by interacting with the spine and brain, necessitating they be worn around the neck." I sighed and took it from him as he handed it to me. "To take it off, you simply press that button." Mr. Dorado showed me. "Thank you, sir. I appreciate it." I exhaled after Jerry took it from me and held it on his person.

When we exited the office a small group of teens a little younger than me walked past then began to squeal. "OMG Nettie! May we get your autograph please?!" And from that simple outburst, the whole Meta-Youth centre was at my feet. "Dammit..should've gone incognito.." I muttered. "Told you you should've worn those sunglasses and hat." Jerry replied. "Shut up.."

It took almost a half an hour to get those kids off my back. "Being famous must suck, huh." I glared at Damian who spoke those words. "Look who's talking 'Ice Prince of Gotham'." He rolled his eyes. "Why does it even matter that you wear that stupid thing? You only start to fly in the evening and at night." I grin, "Stalking me?"

"Tt, no. Just an observation. You have been keeping us all awake for the past few days." I frowned, "I'm..sorry about that by the way." Jason chuckled, "Aw, demon spawn, you've got a new friend to add to Jonny." Damian jabbed Jason in his side, making him groan.

I stopped and turned around, "Are you okay? Damian, that wasn't- Woah..not again.." I sighed as I began to float once again. My back hit the roof. "You were saying, Boy Wonder? Only happens at night?" He clicked his tongue, "Well at least you aren't screaming and looking possessed."

El Dorado teleported up to the roof, grabbed my hand and landed with me in his hands. "Thanks, El Dorado." He smiled, "My name is Eduardo. E.D. is fine as well." Jerry walked towards me and placed the inhibitor collar around my neck and it activated. I soon stopped floating and Jason caught me before I could hit the ground. "Thanks Jer, and thanks Jason."

I made my way out of the building and headed towards my jet. "If you really decide to remove the collar, I suggest nailing your chair to the floor and tying your legs and feet to the chair just in case." Eduardo said. "Thanks but I'll probably leave it on anyway and double fold my turtle neck, making sure the room is a little bit chillier."

"C'mon, Net, we gotta go." Jerry rushed me and I groaned. "Later boys." "Hope to see you soon, Nettie." Jason yelled as the door closed.
