The suit was a deep dark red. Darker than it used to be from what they had seen saw from the previous news reports reviewed. Her mask was black. Her eyes a startling blue and her hair a shade just touch short of being as dark as night. The girl looked to be no older than thirteen or fourteen.
Somehow she had shown up on the scene just before any of the batfamily could and immediately solve the riddles, freed the innocent civilization, dismantle the bomb with rubber duck and a hair pin, dodged the trap, and was now fighting off the Riddler and his men.
And as they watched her kick the Riddler in the face and then yo-yo away, only to spin around and do it a second time, all the batkids knew they’d have to step in.
“You can’t adopt her, B-Man,” The Redhood pinched his nose.
Robin opened to his mouth his defend his father but quickly shut it. His four adopted brothers, an adopted sister, one sort of adopted “cousin”, and the hardcore way his father had been pushing Luke spend more and more time at the manner to the point where Lucius Fox had taken to glaring at the Dark Knight.
“…She needs a mentor,” Came Batman’s gruff response.
“You need a therapist.”
They winced when Ladybug broke the arm of a 300 pound bodybuilder and slam him on the ground.
Nightwing gave his dad a grin, “I’d love a new sister, OUCH!” His hand went his thigh and saw blood. He glared at Robin. “Did you stab me?”
Robin slowly sheathed his sword. “…No.”
“Let go!” Riddler screamed as he clawed at the floor as the red menace dragged across the floor by his legs.
“Stop squirming!” Marinette barked. “You’re going to jail!”
Somehow the Riddler managed to free himself. Then it was Ladybug chasing the Riddler around the tower.
“Come back here, you fashion disaster.”
The caused the Riddler to pause and give the hero the most hurt look anyone of the batfamily had ever seen on him.
“Black Bat would love a sister.”
“Leave me out of this,” Cassandra’s voice rang in their ears. She was patrolling with Batwoman across the city.
The fight ending with The Riddler hogtied, and dangling from the ceiling, while Ladybug chastised him on the rudeness of strapping people to bombs.
Batman smirked.
“No!” Red Robin decided to step in, “She probably has parents. You can keep doing this B.”
“And another thing,” Ladybug hissed. “I’ve seen Disney villains with more style than you; you walking neon glowstick.”
That was when Batman decided to step in. The Riddler visibly brightened at seeing him, “Bats, I don’t like this Robin. She’s mean. Bring back the boy Robin”
“That one lit you on fire.”
“…She made me cry.”
Ladybug glared at the bad guy.
Oh yes that was it, Batman was going to adopt Ladybug.
Bruce Wayne was going to adopt Marinette Dupain-Cheng. The girl and the rest of her class had taken the Wayne internship program that lasted a little more than a month a half during summer.
