The Badass Ladybird of Gotham

Multi POV chapter

Damian-

She ran to the bathroom without closing it. She started coughing up blood. I called for help and she fell. I caught her and picked her up. She moved closer to me and blacked out. I ran down to the cave where Drake and Father were running tests on a new weapon.

"Father," I called, "She started coughing up blood and passed out." Alfred walked in and I laid her down on one of the beds in the medbay. After a while, Alfred told us she had six cracked ribs. Tikki flew out of nowhere really. Father raised an eyebrow but stayd quiet. Tikki told him everything.

"Marinette has broken many bones and as a Miraculous holder, she heals faster, but the broken bones don't set properly because they never take three weeks to just stay and heal. So the same six ribs are cracked like last time." Father was deep in thought for a moment,

"Tikki, what can we do for her?" Tikki looked solemn and replied,

"Not much, I can induce her into a deep sleep to heal faster but she will sleep for a while." That annoyed me.

"How long would he be sleeping for?" I asked impatiently.

"Could be hours, could be days and could possibly be weeks. I can't control how long, only she herself can choose." Todd ran in,

"How long has she been like this? Injured I mean." Todd was serious, he was never serious.

"Well she recieved her miraculous at age 12 so I guess then. She could tolerate pain well and she takes high level Ibuprofen daily for 'headaches' or so the doctors are told." I replied without thinking,

"Does she have ANYBODY that she can count on, identity wise?" Tikki looked down and sat on the desk and asked him quietly,

"Do you count yourself as that? Chloe found out during the terrorist attack in the cafeteria." I couldn't keep it in any longer.

"SO SHE HAS HAD NOBODY IN THE LAST FEW YEARS TO HELP HER?!?"

"....there were two. Master Fu is dead and the old Chat Noir had his miraculous revoked six months ago so he has no memory. Even he didn't know her identity." I couldn't listen to this any longer. I walked back into the medbay and sat down in a chair next to her, she was sleeping. Why am I so attatched to this girl? I just met her. Grayson walked in, and sat in the chair next to me. He had a glass of water.

"Listen, Damian, Tikki put her to sleep so you won't hear her for a while. She said that Marinette has to speak to the elder Ladybugs about what she has to do or whatever that means. I need to ask you a few things though." Grayson looked both excited and curious.

"Shoot." He looked over at her,

"Damian, what do you think of Marinette, does she make you feel something?" I looked over at the girl and told him the truth. I could trust Grayson. Yes, he may be annoying, but I can trust him.

"She lives with us now, and I'm actually ok with it I'm glad she does. She seems to always know what I'm thinking no matter how hard I try to hide it." He raised and eyebrow at that and I glared at him and continued,

"A lot of the time, I feel this thing in my stomach. Sometimes the feeling is light, and sometimes it's just in knots, but I don't get nervous." He motioned to continue and sipped at his drink.

"That's why I thought she poisioned me of sorts or injected me when I met her because I didn't realize that it was normal for people to feel that around her. Do you feel like that Grayson?" He choked on his drink and spit it out, all over my shoes I might add. I kicked him and he gained control of himself. He started laughing.

"Kid, she didn't poision you and yes, I'm sure other people feel the same way about her but you are the only one in this house that feels that way. Damian, you like her." What a dolt.

"I know I like her, I don't want to murder her." He laughed again.

"No kid you like, like her." I rolled my eyes,

"Grayson, just adding the word again to the end of a sentence does not make me understand it better." He stopped laughing and just smiled.

"You have a romantic interest torward her." What the hell? Why would I know that?

"No I don't. And stop looking at me like I have a tail." He chuckled.

"You have never had feelings, ever?" I shook my head and he looked shocked.

"How does it make you feel when she runs headfirst into a fight?" I thought back to the Hawkmoth fight, and found my hands in fists.

"I know she can handle herself, but I just don't want her to get hurt, like this." I motioned to her. "And she can be really stupid at times by getting involved with fights at all. I don't want this. It pisses me off." He smiled and ruffled my hair. HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE TO NOT TOUCH MY HAIR DAMN IT-

"Why do you ask these things Grayson?" He scooted his chair away from me. COWARD

"Damian, you allow Bruce, Alfred, Cass, and I to come within a two feet radius of you. And there you are cuddling and snuggling in her bed." I got to my feet.

"So what? I can't sleep without her at this point. And I used to be a light sleeper." Dick chuckled then stopped.

"Wait. You're serious about this?" Who the hell does he think he is? Of course I'm serious.

"Deadass serious." He froze, then continued.

"What are you going to do about it?" I looked down and thought about it myself. I have no idea. Shit.

"I don't know, just sit here and wait for her to wake up? What's with that look of pity there?"

"Are you going to tell her?" How the hell can I tell her if I don't know myself?

"How can I tell her if I don't know myself Grayson?" He shrugged.

"I have no idea little dude, but you'll figure it out soon. I think she likes you too." He got up and left. I sat back down and felt my eyes get heavy, then darkness.
