Marinette's POV
Ahhh! I'm so excited! From today, I'll be officially joining the outsiders. But I'll be staying part-time at the Wayne Mansion since the Penthouse only has so much space. As I speak, Alfred, the Waynes' butler, is showing me and Jerry around the building. "...And finally this will be your room, Mistress." The kwamis flew off in different directions after Nooroo gifted him the sight.
I smiled, "I know it's your job but I tell Jerry the same thing. Mistress is too much, please call me Nettie, Alfred." He slightly bowed, "As you wish." I nodded, "Thanks very much." Jerry placed all my belongings in my room as I followed Alfred back downstairs. That's when I met the big bat himself.
"Mr. Wayne, a pleasure." I said. He shook my hand and damn, he had a tight grip. "Please, the pleasure is mine, Nettie. Dick, Jason and Damian caught me up to speed with everything. Along with the flying creatures soaring around the Mansion." I awkwardly smiled, "Ah... I see. Well thank you for allowing us to stay with you. I know it must already be a lot to have four boys on your hands."
He grinned, "It's quite alright. It's..refreshing. Well, I believe the boys are out. Damian should be down in the batcave. It was wonderful to chat with you." I nodded, "You as well, Mr. Wayne. Again, you have my utmost gratitude." And with that he left.
Alfred showed me and Jerry down to the cave and I was flabbergasted. It was amazing!! And just like the big bat said, his son was training. I was genuinely surprised to see Jonathan down here as well. He..was wearing glasses... Alfred bowed then left, leaving me and Jerry. I made my way up to the two boys.
"Heyoo!" Jonathan smiled, "Hey- Ow!! Damian!" Damian smirked as he hit Jonathan at the back of his head with his katana. "You should be glad I used the back. Tt." I grinned, "If you keep doing that, you'll get crooked teeth." He glared at me, "Tt."
I chuckled, "Looks like you two are training hard. And thanks again for allowing me your time in order to train me." Jonathan smiled, "It's no problem. We were quite surprised that you joined the team, but everyone was happy about it. If you want, I can start helping you control your flight right now."
I agreed and stood on the platform with him as Damian stepped to the side next to Jerry. "Okay so how do I fly?" I asked enthusiastically. He sighed, "Not sure. I honestly don't know how to put it. I'd say the first thing you gotta do is stay calm and focused. Try closing your eyes."
I exhaled and closed my eyes. I tried thinking back to the time I was meditating and floated off my bed but I don't think it was working. I sighed. I'm a feather, a light feather... As I opened my eyes I was a few feet off the ground. I..I did it.. Jonathan joined me and held my hands, taking me a bit higher.
"See, I knew you could do it. Now I'm gonna guide you around and see if you'll be able to control the way you fly." I bit the corner of my bottom lip and focused on the way he slowly moved to the right and made a circle. "Hey, not bad.. By the way, where are your kwamis?" I giggled, "They're off 'exploring'."
He chuckled, "I see. Well you're doing it on your own now. You're a fast learner." I was amazed. Jonathan was right. I was way too focused on flying to even realise that my fingers were merely resting on the tips of his fingers. "See, baby steps." I giggled, "Yes! Jerry, did you see me!?" He nodded with a small groan. "I heard that mister!"
Jonathan laughed, "Now the hard part. The landing." He removed his fingers but still kept close. I breathed out and soon, I slowly began to descend to the ground. I landed and I began to jump around. "Ahh! I did it! And Luka..that idiot said I couldn't. He owes me 20 bucks!"
Just then Plagg, Tikki and Nooroo appeared in the cave. "Where's the rest of you little mischief-makers?" I asked. Tikki shook her head, "They're all over the place. And Plagg won't stop asking for Camembert." Plagg huffed, "I'm hungry!" Nooroo simply sat on Jerry's head and watched us.
Soon, a filthy, overwhelming stench filled the room. We all pinched our noses as Alfred walked in with some camembert for Plagg. His eyes sparkled as he sat down on the plate and ate the camembert like his life depended on it. "Ah..my sweet cheese.." I gagged at his comment.
"I-I say we return upstairs away from this...distasteful smell.." Jerry suggested. So we left, leaving Plagg and the cheese in the cave. "Thanks again for the help, Jonathan. It means a lot." He smiled, "It's nothing really. I'm just glad I can help. Also, every Friday evening, Damian usually comes over to my place to hang out. You can join us tomorrow if you want?"
My eyes widened a bit. "R-Really..? I mean..I don't wanna encroach on your time with Damian. You two are friends-" Damian interjected, "Tt, no we aren't, I can just barely tolerate him." Jonathan chuckled, "Nah, you're good. It'll be fun. But if you're not up for it I totally understand."
I looked over to Jerry and he sighed. "I guess I'll be seeing you tomorrow then, Jonathan." He nodded and waved goodbye. At the front door, I managed to see the bat talking to Superman. Damn, he's a lot taller in person...and more buff... After that, Damian and I were left in the living room.
Before he could walk off, I said, "Do you like sweets?" He raised a brow, "Why do you want to know?" I shrugged. "From the sleepover, I realised you didn't touch the meat on some of the foods I prepared. Are you a vegetarian?" He nodded slightly. I smiled, "I should've asked. Sorry..."
He rolled his eyes, "It's fine. I guess..sweets are alright. But I only like Alfred's cookies and his shortbread. Maybe a little bit of ice cream from time to time." I giggled, "I was thinking of making some macarons and was wondering if you wanted. You also seemed to like the pancakes and croissants I made too."
He looked away, and I smirked, "Aww, you embarrassed?" "No I'm Not! Do what you want." And with that he left. I smiled. "Alfred, can you show me the way to the kitchen please?" He nodded leading the way. And to my dismay, but not to my surprise, I found the rest of the kwamis snacking on some cookies.
"You greedy little gremlins.." I sighed walking around checking the inventory. Looks like I'll need to get almond flour, malt and some more heavy cream... I'll tell Jerry to go to the supermarket tomorrow. "Okay kwamis, fun is over. I'm sorry for all the trouble they're causing you Alfred."
He shook his head. "It's quite already, Nettie." I turned to the little creatures, "Now say thank you." They lined up and bowed, "Thank you, Alfred." And with that they followed me back upstairs to my room. Jerry was staying in the room across from mine. He seemed to like the Mansion just fine. To be honest, so do I...
~~~~~~~~~~Jonathan's POV
On the way home in the car with Dad, I could tell something was on his mind. "Um Dad..what's on your mind?" He sighed.
"Conner is alive."
"What...?"
