The Badass Ladybird of Gotham

Damian meets the asshole of the year Pt:1

Marinette woke up outside. Her new friend group that Damian introduced her to was surrounding them. I'm in one of the courtyards. She twisted around and was stopped by an arm.

"Stay. I know you're tired, but I am too. I want to sleep and I am very comfortable." She looked up and noticed she was laying on the grass, with her head on Damian's arm. He was laying next to her and had his eyes closed. Just as she got comfortable, he shot up. "Wait, Marinette, have you eaten yet?" she rolled her eyes at the boy and grabbed a gronola bar and a canned coffee from her bag. She stared him dead in the eyes, and ate the granola bar then she chugged the coffee. All in under thirty seconds. She laid back down.

"I'm assuming you ate, if you didn't, you're a hypocrite." he fumed at the smug girl and nodded his head.

"Father said he has a surprise for us later at Wayne Enterprises. Said it's important." She looked up at him with puppy eyes.

"Can we skip and take a nap?" he chuckled and shook his head 'no'. The friends, who both didn't even notice were there, goggled at the two. The last time Damian laughed around them was when Joker kidnapped him. It was weird.

"Marinette, you are new here and you just met Damian not even a week ago. Yes?" Allegra tilted her head at the laying girl.

"Yes, why? He is my brother's brother." Jon made 'X' motions in front of him but Allegra continued.

"How is he so comfortable around you? Normally we aren't allowed closer than ten feet of him. Also, why do you call him your 'brother's brother' as you call it instead of just calling Damian your brother? Are you guys sibilings?" Marinette's head spun by how fast the questions were rolling.

"Marinette can make anybody comfortable. She's the top bug." Chloe put down a blanket and sat down next to the group.

"Well Allegra, I met Jason, Damian's brother, when I was four years old. He cared for me for a while since my parents died and I thought Bridgette was dead. Jason was adopted by Bruce Wayne so he is technically Damian's brother, but Damian and I are not related whatsoever. I think of Jason as my big brother. So no. Damian and I are not related, nor are we sibilings." Damian put a hand over Marinette's mouth and pulled her back down.

"Shhh habibti, You are giving me a headache. Breathe." she quietly blushed at the nickname, and looked next to her at the grumpy boy.

"I'm sorry."

"It's ok. Just sleep."

"Guys," Bridgette cut in, "While you may be adorable, class starts in ten minutes." Marinette popped up. As everyone but Jon and Chloe left.

"Come on. I'd really rather not be late since we already were this morning." Damian was already out like a light. Jon snickered

"You're not getting him up Mari. I've tried bribing him in the past. He's not getting up, he's half asleep." Chloe crossed her arms.

"Two things Kent. One, Marinette almost always gets her way, and two, this is the third time you mentioned people being half asleep. Is that like your new favorite thing? Sleeping people?"

"No Chloe, my mother just did an article on sleeping." Marinette ignored the two arguing behind her.

"Damian, I know you are really tired, but I will give you anything you want. Please get up, I'm begging you. We are going to be late and I don't leave my friends behind." He scowled, but his eyes were still closed.

"If you were begging, you'd be on your knees you evil Villain." Marinette gasped as Jon was on the grass laughing.

"Mari, he talking in his sleep. Ask him whatever you want, he will hear it and respond to you like you are in his dream. It's weird."
