Gotham two days before the Parisian class begins their trip.

*this is a dream* Honey Bee(Chloe) use your stinger, ........ Give me your Miraculous Ladybug,....... Hawk moth.

*Tt* what was that, I thought, It clearly didn't feel like a dream. Getting out of my bed, thinking about how I have had dreams about This ladybug, and the hawk moth character all month. There were others in the dreams, but I always saw it from this "Ladybug"s point of view. I walked down to breakfast wondering why these dreams always made me so emotional. Why would dreams make me so worried, how could I worry about a girl in my dream. I rarely felt this way about anything, not even my missions. *Tt* I clicked my tongue as I sat a the table, feeling annoyed at how lost I was. When Dee-dee calls out to me.

"Dami what wrong, you can't keep hiding it", she cries.

"Your sister is right Damian", says our Father.

"You look worse than f**king Tim, Demon Spawn", yells Jason.

Damian looks awful, he has all month, but he insists that there is nothing wrong. I wish he wasn't so stubborn." Dami what wrong, you can't keep hiding it", I cry.

"Your sister is right Damian", said our Father

"You look worse than f**king Tim, Demon Spawn", yells Jason.

*Tt* "Like you can explain why what happens in a dream, that I can't even remember clearly, can make me so worried and confused", he yells. We're all shocked, even more so when tears start streaking down his face. He is literally shaking, I have no idea what to do. I know that even though he is always trying to hide them,  Damian has truly strong emotions, but even so I-I can't help him.

I stand there in shock as the mask, that he has never let drop in the entire seven years he has lived with me completely crumbles. Watching my son stand there sobbing is painful, but I have know idea what to do until Alfred steps in.

"Sir, it is just my opinion, but I believe you should hug him", he said in a whispers. With no idea what to do my self, I do what he told me. I walk over to him slowly, and pull him into a hug, at this point I'm not even surprised that he didn't try to get away like usual.

Damian.point of view

I lost it, not like I usually do. I just broke down, I can feel my body shaking, I just give up and stop trying to hold in all the confusion, pain, and anger and just sob.
I've never cried, not like this, it's probably my soulmate's fault. Something happened that surprised me more than all of this, my father hugged me first, out of all of them it was him not Dick or Danny or even Cass. It was my father, and I didn't care normally I'd push him away, but not now. Now it felt nice, now I just wanted him to stand there conferring me. After father comes so does everyone else they all hug me and I now in the middle of an inescapable circle, but I really don't care. Until I remember I have a reputation to uphold. *Tt*" you can let go of me now", I state.

"Like we would, Demon Spawn you just burst into tears so I'm not letting go until I'm sure the world will not end", states Tim.

"I will stab you Drake I hiss", but I doubt my threat even reaches him in this pile of family members. So I began trying to push my way out. When Stephanie exclaims.

"Damian, look at your arm."

Confused as to why she is freaking out like and idiot, till I see the countdown. 45:24:12 the countdown till I will meet my soulmate  not even two days until I meet them.

*this is a dream* Robin Focus......
*punching sound*..... I'm gonna kill you todd...... Dami what's wrong.....

(°Marinette.... Marinette!) Said Alya

(°Hu... What) I said startled.

(°Gurl what is with you never fall asleep during class) she said worried.

(°oh sorry Alya, I just been having some strange dreams. And haven't slept much because I keep trying to figure them out) I said quietly hoping Lila doesn't hear me. She does..

(°Oh Marinette you should sleep more, as class president you should be a good example) she said in a sickly sweet tone that feels like nails on a chalkboard to me.

(°Thank you lila, I'll totally try getting to bed even earlier) I said sarcastically causing lila to start crying crocodile tears.

(°She is just trying to be nice to you) said Sabrina( you don't have to be so cruel) patting her back.

(°Like you can understand when someone is being cruel) said Chloe.
(°This whole class is  ridiculous utterly ridiculous) she yells.

(°says the second cruelest person in this school) said Kim. I can see how much what he said hurt Chloe, so I try to comfort her.

(°It's okay Chloe they have know idea how sweet you are) I said hugging her. Adrian looks at me and Chloe then them and said.

(°You had better leave Chloe, and my sister alone) with anger in his voice.

(°Since when is Marinette your sister) said lila.

(°Since her parents took me in) he snaps (they got me a way from that awful father of mine) he said with pain in his voice.

(°You just stand up for her cause she feeds you) said Sabrina (°your such a dog Adrian) That was probably the last straw mostly cause Adrian was a lot like a cat on the inside.

(°If you ever call me, my sister or Chloe anything again I will make you pay) he hissed before sitting down behind me. Just as Mis Bustier walked in.

(°Hey Marinette what's that on your arm) asked Lila(°you didn't get a tattoo did you) she said slyly.

(°What in the world are you talking about lie-la) said Chloe grabbing my arm to look. (°Marinette it's the countdown) she said excitedly forgetting about lila.

(°38:45:23) I read out loud, not even two days until I would meet my soulmate. This countdown was the proof and they will be in Gotham.
