Moving On

Chapter 1

Marinette has been visiting Gotham since she was 10. She goes and stays with her godfather Alfred. She has kept a connection with him when he moved to Gotham. When she came over the summer she noticed that he was working with a very powerful man. Bruce Wayne. He had three adopted sons and one blood son. Over the years she gets close to the Waynes. She makes them cloths and suites for events. She refused to go to any events. One summer Alfred noticed that the light in her eyes dimmed dramatically.Not only did he see but the others saw too. One day Alfred caught Marinette drawing something in her sketch book. When he went over to see what inspired her this time, he saw tare marks in her sketch book. He noticed the design of Gothams batman was gone and that the book was significatly smaller. When he tried to ask what happened she would shut down and go to her room, and wouldn't come out the rest of the day. Sometimes Tikki would come down and reassure them that Mari just remember something. They all knew it was a lie. One day they saw Damian talking to Marinette.

"Mari what's going on?"
She gave him a weird look. "What do you mean?"
"You aren't your usual happy self. What happened?"
Marinette took a deep breath. She wasn't going to cry. She looked down at her hands. She wan't going to drop this on them. Deep breath. Deep breath, she told herself. Damian knelt in front of her and placed a hand on her knee. "Angle look at me." She slowly looked at him. She couldn't do it. It started as a trickle but the dam was opened. Her hands covered her face and she cried. Damian wrapped his arms around her and held her close.
"What happened?"
"A girl at my school started lying to gain friends. I knew she was lying. So I called her out on it and she basically turned all my friends against me. I don't know what to do. I started two years ago and now...I don't know."
"Angle, this is not your fault. You can't take responsibility. Ok. You need to stop blaming yourself. You did nothing wrong."
"But birdy she is lying and I keep telling them and showing them my proof but they still wont listen. They even ripped designs from my sketch book because they believed I stole Lila's designs. I lost my internship at the Agrest Company because he believed her and not me. Uncle Jagged started to file lawsuits and she somehow avoided those. I told him not to get involved, and the only reason he knows is because he over heard me and Chloe talking about it. Birdy I don't know what to do. Lila ruined my life. Alya broke into my house and destroyed commotions for my clients. She got a slap on the wrist and was told to leave. It took me three months to get everything in order. I didn't even receive money for some. I can't do this anymore. My parents don't even know about this. I can't keep this up any longer. Adrien isn't helping at all."
