Marinette's pov :

I back up slowly and suddenly felt a pair of hands grab me.
Closing my eyes I, turned around and punched up as fast as I could. When I realised that my fist got held in a tight grip I opened my eyes. Red Robin was starting back at me wide eyed.
Before I could say something he turned me back around, pulled me against him and covered my mouth.
After another shadow passed us I managed to push him off. He held a finger in front of his mouth and tried to reached for my hand which I pulled away. He looked like he was getting frustrated. I glared at him.
We heard someone get pushed to the floor. Mr. Pug grunted "No, no please.". "If you show yourself i'll give him a coin thaws, a chance at life. If you don't.... well I guess you can imagine what happens! ".
Red Robin shook his head.
"So!? What's it going to be!?".
"I'll distrac-","No." He reached for me but I backed up.
"Three!..."
Our eyes widened.
"Twooooo!...."
I looked past his head trying to get him to think someone is behind him and turn around. When he did I  was already running away before he could do anything.
"O-","Don't!! You got me! Just.. don't..shoot." I said coming out from behind the shelves. One of his henchmen came up from behind me.
"Look who finally decided to show up.
It's a pleasure to finally meet you miss Dupain-Ceng." He said pointing the gun at me as the other guy grabbed me by the back of the shirt and pushed me towards his boss.
"Now ,Marinette. Can I call you that? "
"No." I growled.
"Oho feisty. I respect that. Fine miss Dupain-Ceng I need a paticulare file. It should have arrived 3 weeks ago on the Thursday. Would you be so kind and get them for me?" He asked pressing the gun against my stomach.

Tim's pov:
I fought with all my strength not to run out when he held her at gun point.
"What is the file about?" Marinette asked. "None of your concern. " two face growled. "It actually is. I need to know what it's about to know where I put it in the filing system." She snapped back.
"It's labeled as medical tech  X5473 prototype 3. You get 4 minutes to get it."
, " 4 minutes are impossible.", " Make it work." He hissed. "Or I'll flip a coin for you. So lead the way.". He smiled.
Marinette slapped the goons hand away and started taking an entrance between the shelves that was away from mine. I heard Jason over comms saying they will pick off the goons one by one.
I readied myself incase something went wrong. From between the shelves I watched how she lead them around. Every time they turn a corner one of my brothers dragged off a henchman and Marinette was doing a great job of keeping two face distracted.
There was one goon left before he could get dragged off he looked be behind him. "Boss!".
Crap!
Two face looked and realized what happened in a split second. I barely managed to tackle her out of the way before a short range out. We booked it before he could shoot again. I was about to run left but Marinette pulled me the other way. We hid behind another bookshelf as we heard commotion going on. We waited till I heard Dick scream "Every thing is clear!".
I couldn't even hold myself back grabbing Marinette by the shoulder "What the hell... were you thinking!?"
She pushed me away " You of all people don't get to ask me what I was thinking! And don't touch me! "
"Marinette you could have died! ", "But I didn't so back off!" She screamed.
"You're impossible to talk to! ", "Then don't. That's what I want anyway. " she muttered.
I am sometimes still amazed how this amazing and lovely woman can be so frustrating and rude if she can't stand someone.
"I'll go take the police statement." She said. I wanted to say something.
She sight and mumbled "I'm not gonna mention the file." , "Thanks ." I nodded.
She was definitely going to get a lecture from me.

Marinette's pov:

It took ages I had to tell the story  like 10 times and very detailed. When I wanted to leave for the bus station I saw a familiar limousine pulling up. Alfred stopped got out and opened the door for me. "Miss Dupain-Ceng if you will please.", "How did you...?" ,"I am a butler miss this answer should suffice." I scoffed and went in. When he started driving I realized we were going the wrong way.
"Alfred my apartment is the other way.",
"Yes I am aware of that but the family would like that you stay at the manor tonight. Master Timothy also insisted that he has to speak with you face to face.". "Why?".
"Let us just say that he was particularly excited about the quote on quote 'stunt you pulled '. We can view the W.E. CCTV footage in the manor." He said with a straight face. "Great." I sighed.
The moment I stepped foot into that manor Tim stomped towards me.
"Before you go of screaming I d-gggh." He cut me off with a hug. I could feel his rapid heart beat. He pulled me up stairs into his room.
"I still can't believe you did this! Marinette you nearly got shot! When a hero tells you to do something you do it!" He said walking back and forth.
"First of all he's a vigilante and second I wasn't going to let someone die if I can help. " I said crossing my arms.
"That's not your job! "He screamed grabbing my shoulders. "I don't care!",
"But I do because..!" He froze as he looked me in the eyes.
"Because I can't imagine losing you." I saw the fear in his eyes he was shaking.
"I'm right here." I whispered holding his face in both of my hands. He grabbed my left hand and kissed the inside of my palm before moving on to my forearm than shoulder and eventually neck. "T-Tim?" ,  he was still shaking.
"I head to watch you nearly die today. " he whispered while holding me impossibly tight to him. 
"Pl-please... don't ever...","I won't." I promised. Before I could react I was already pushed up against the wall as we kissed.
