Princess Justice

In Your Arms

Marinette took out the earrings and put them on.

"I'm so glad your back Marinette." Tikki said as she nuzzled onto her owner's cheek.
"Thanks Tikki, I really missed you "
She smiled at the little red kwami, lovingly scratching her tiny head.

"Tikki Spots On."

Marinette transformed into Ladybug, looking towards Master Fu, she said with a smile; "Thank you for still trusting me Master. Guess I better clean up my mess." She called for her lucky charm, which gave her a small hand mirror. She looked at it a bit surprised and glanced towards Master Fu.

"I'm guessing it's a way of reminding you, who you really are." Master Fu said with a gentle smile.

Marinette looked at her reflection one last time she smiled and then threw it up words "Miraculous ladybug!"
The ladybugs returned everyone back to normal. The one's at school were no longer under Princess Justice control. Even the four who were trapped on the Eiffel Tower were now at the bottom in their regular clothes. They all looked around confused for a second, but quickly sighed in relief knowing that everything fixed thanks to their heroes.

~At School~

Tom and Sabine quickly found each other among the crowd of students and teachers. They hugged once they got to each other.

"Marinette! We need to see if our little girl's okay." Tom's fatherly instincts kicked in, worrying about his sweet daughter. Both parents quickly ran for home.

~Back with Ladybug and Master Fu~

"Looks like everything is back to normal. What now Master?"

"I told Chat Noir to stand by the Eiffel Tower, just as a precaution. In case some were stuck a the top of the Eiffel Tower. As for Viperion I will let him know everything is fine now."

Hearing Viperion's name, Marinette quickly thought back to the kiss they had shared not too long ago. Making her blush and start fidgeting in place.

"Uh... yeah ... right, well will you want me to take him- I mean ask for the Miraculous?" She clumsily asked hoping Master Fu hadn't found out about the whole kiss scene they had.

"Hmm?" He looked at her a bit confused as to why she looked slightly panicked, he shrugged it off and continued speaking. "Well I'm sure it has been a long day for him and Sass, I'll let them stay together for the night and wait for it to turn it in tomorrow." He said as he made his way outside the bakery. 'Phew, I don't think Master Fu knows. I do want to see Luka again, but I don't think I'll be able to stay calm around him,  knowing how perceptive he is, no doubt he'll figure me out.' She thought to herself a bit relieved but also a bit disappointed she wouldn't see him until who knows when.

"Marinette!" A loud voice snapped her back from her thoughts, it was her parents coming in. She saw the ragged breathing from both her parents, not doubt from running.

"Ladybug! Thank goodness you're here, is Marinette okay?" Tom and Sabine both relieved to see her they quickly asked about the well being of their daughter.

"Oh...I, yes she's safe thanks to Chat Noir and Viperion. She's upstairs in her room now." She replied earning a sigh of relief from both of her parents.

"Well I better go bug-out." She said walking out the front door and and waving goodbye. She threw her yo-yo and swung herself around the building managing to land on her balcony. "Spots off." She detrasnformed and caught Tikki in her hands. She went into her room and gave her a cookie she had saved just for her little kwami. "I'm so glad I get to still have you by my side, Tikki you're someone very special to me." She said smiling
"Oh Marinette, I was so worried about you." Tikki nuzzled herself on to Marinette's cheek, but quickly hid when she heard a noise coming from the trapdoor entrance to her room. It was her parents who came in to check up on her. "Oh were so glad you safe." Sabine said as they both hugged her.

~The following day~

It didn't take long for the video of the akumatized attack to spread, and lucky for Marinette among the videos there was the confession from Lila. Principal Damocles of course, saw the video and quickly called the Dupain-Cheng home informing them of Marinette's expulsion being revoked as well as offering them an apology for the accusations. They told Marinette about their talk with her principal, and said that when she was ready she could return to school. It was Friday so that gave her the weekend to try and calm herself, she thought about what she would say when she went back or how she should act. "Oh Tikki I'm really glad I can go back but what do I do? I haven't had the courage to watch any of the videos from yesterday, but I'm sure I must have said some terrible things. Do I go in and immediately apologize, or should i wait until they all want to hear my apology?" She listed her options as she paced back and forth making Tikki a little dizzy.

"Please try and calm down Marinette, everything will be alright. You were possessed by HawkMoth's akuma, you didn't mean any of those things. I'm sure everyone will accept your apology. "
"I dont know Tikki, maybe I should watch the videos." She said as she went towards her computer and went on the Ladyblog. Watching all the videos up until the battle she paused it, and looked towards the floor. 'I've said so many things to Alya, will she ever forgive me?' Tears started flowing down her face.

A knock coming from the trapdoor made Tikki quickly hide. "Come in." Marinette quickly wiped her tears as she allowed the person knocking on her door, to come inside. She thought it would've been one of her parents, "Did you need help downstairs m-.." she cut herself off when she noticed it wasn't Sabine who had knocked, instead before her was the person she was not expecting to see so soon. "Luka..." It was like he knew she needed him so badly.

"You're mom let me in, she said you were up here...." He slowly walked up to her, when he noticed her eyes were red and a bit puffy. Probably from crying, he looked towards her computer and saw the Ladyblog site. He reached towards her and hugged, trying to calm her down. "That wasn't the real you, don't torment yourself. Everything will be okay."

"A-alya.. I hurt her." She started crying again. Clingy to him burying her face to his chest. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, I'm here. I'll always be here for you." Still hugging her, he ran his slender fingers through her hair trying to soothe her. After she had managed to calm down he let her go. They both sat on her chaise lounge, he gave her some tissue to help wipe her tears. And they sat in silence it wasn't awkward. Never with him, she felt calm and herself with him. After a moment Marinette broke the silence, "Thanks luka."

"Anything, for you Mari." He said with a sweet smile.
