⚠️Trigger Warning Chapter⚠️

Marinette Prov.

Shocked at what just happened, bewildered by everyone's actions, or just because the blond's mood swing happened so fast, I honestly don't know but I just started to giggle like a manic. "I think she is going into shock." The redhead said, making Chloe panic and instantly go into mama-bear mode. "Couch. You need to sit. Butler, water. Chop-chop." Chloe demanded as she tugged me into the living room and made me sit on the couch.

"Hear you are, Miss Dupain-Cheng." Mr. Pennyworth said a few seconds later, holding a glass up to my face and urging me to drink. "Thank you, Mr. Pennyworth." I say shakenly, downing the entire glass in two big gulps. Placing the glass on the table in front of me, I stared down at my hands which were still shaking. "Mari..."

"O, right. Who are you?" I ask suddenly turning to the three unknown girls, cutting Chloe off. "My name is Barbara Gordon, this is Stephanie Brown and that is Cassandra Cain." Introduced the redhead before pointing to the blond and the black-haired asian. "Hello. I'm Marinette Dupain-Cheng and that is Chloe Bourgeois." I introduced myself before pointing to Chloe who only nodded her head while taking a seat on my left.

"I love your outfits, by the way!" exclaimed Stephanie as she observed our outfits. "Of course you would. Mari designed them." Chloe huffed before turning back to me. "You can't keep it in Bug. You need to tell us what happened with that bastard." Chloe lightly scolded in Manderian, shocking everyone. "Just give me a minute Chloe! You weren't the one ... you weren't there." I harshly retaliate in Manderian before wincing at the flash of hurt in her eyes.

"Tt. The demon is right, Angel. What happened?" Damian asked next, kneeling in front of me with a blank face but concern swimming in his eyes. Suddenly feeling like I was the dirtiest person under the sun, I shifted away from him while looking down. Hearing Damian sigh as he moved to stand again making guilt course through me. Mentally I knew they were worried but right now I was just overcome with rage, disgust, and guilt.

"Marinette," Barbara called as she wheeled in front of me, making me look at her expectantly. "I will not touch you but I need to ask a few questions, okay? Just answer yes or no. We'll take it from there, okay?" Nodding to her conditions, cursing myself for my weakness. "Was he in the room the entire time?" Shaking my head no, I saw Richard write everything down from the corner of my eye making me tense for some reason. "Okay. Did he prevent you from leaving?" Barbara continued making me nod my head, slowly moving my arms forward so that she could see the bruises already forming on my wrists.

Hearing sharp intakes of breath, I quickly bring my hands closer to my middle, missing the sharp look Barbara shot everyone. "It's okay, Mari. These next few might be hard to answer so if you can't, it's okay." Nodding my understanding, fighting the flashes and the feel of his hands on me I look up at Barbara. "Did he touch you anywhere inappropriately?" Nodding my head once, clutching my hands together. "Did he kiss you against your will?" Nodding again, desperately wanting to go wash my mouth out. "Did he rape you, Mari?" Shaking my head at that one, I heard a breath of relief from next to me, making me glance at Chloe who was fighting tears as she looked down at her own lap.
