The Badass Ladybird of Gotham

Damian trying to be a badass but failing miserably

She ran up to her room and Tikki sat on her head, patting the girl and there was a knock on the door with the door opening. Fast. Too fast for Tikki to hide. Dick entered and sat down next to Marinette on the floor.

"What was that red flash I saw?" he was completely nonchalant about it. Like he saw magic floating Kwami's on the daily.

"What red flash? Do you mean my phone?" He looked at her with an amused look on his face

"No, I mean the bug mouse that is hiding under your pillow." Both she and Tikki froze. Tikki flew out.

"It's ok Marinette. He already saw and memory wiping isn't ideal. At least not in this country. Also buckco, if you call me a bug mouse again, you will find ladybugs in your bed." Dick looked at the sprite then looked right into Marinette's eyes.

"Is she lying?" Marinette shrugged and brought out her phone and Dick did not look like he felt and better about it. She pulled up The Ladyblog. She scowled at all the new photos of Lila and scrolled to the bottom of the page. She showed him a video of Ladybug swinging across town.

"Do you know who this is? Like the person she is under the mask?" he looked at it and he seemed to not be able to focus or figure it out.

"Well she looks like a Ladybug" he said amused, but Marinette just looked at him in a way that made him think he was the stupidest person on Earth.

"She does look familiar though. How about I ask Jason?" Marinette grabbed his arm before he could get up and leave and gave him a death stare

"If you ever tell anyone about this, you put both of our cities in more danger than you can ever imagine." His face went pale and he sat back down on the floor.

"What do you mean? We already have villains here?" she looked down at the floor.

"They are not as dangerous as the villains in Paris. Thankfully, when I was young I learned English here before I left." His face went serious.

"There are villains in Paris? How did we not know about this? I have to tell Bruce and-" he got up started pacing and mumbling then he dashed out of the room. Tikki flew up and sat on Marinette's shoulder.

"That was weird"

"You said it before I could Tikki" She handed Tikki a cookie. The last one in her bag. Looks like I'll be baking tonight.

"INCOMING!!!" Marinette jumped out of the way as Damian dropped a giant tub of something filled with metal and on the last step, everything fell out.

"What the hell were you thinking?!? Those swords could have killed me? Why did you push a container filled with katanas down the steps?" His face went red and he ran to the bottom of the steps to pick everything up.

"What's the commotion?" Bruce walked over from his office to the staircase. "Jesus Damian, how many times have we told you to no push weapons down the stairs?" Oh so this happens a lot. Absoloutley glorious. She went to help him pick up his stuff while Bruce went back to the office. Damian scowled at her and continued to pick everything up.

"Are you mad? You look mad." he looked at her dead in the eyes and answered,

"I'm not mad. I'm fine." she tilted her head to the side with her eyebrows knitted cute wait what?-

"Your face is screwed up like you're mad." He saw her almost in a 'I'm going to run away soon so I don't get killed' kind of way.

"I'm pertubed, not mad" she helped him carry the container down to the basement where he seemed to keep a collection of these weapons.
