Look What You Made Me Do

I Knew You Were Trouble When You Teleported In

(AN:A lot of information in this chapter. Ladybug and Honey Flash make their case. Will Batman agree to help or try and take over?)

Ladybug waited with Honey Flash and Nightwing. Nightwing really wanted to make sure they made an entrance. She was a little nervous since she had very little knowledge of where they were going. All Nightwing had told them was that they would be going to a place called the Bat Cave. It was the homebase of Batman and his team. Was it an actual cave with bats or was it just called that because it was the place where Batman does his thing? Then there was the fact that they were walking into Batman's territory without any warning. What if they were seen as a threat and some kind of trap was triggered? Though as nervous as she was, the more people there were the better chance that they might actually get some help.

In return she was trying not to give out too much information to Nightwing, and he asked A LOT of questions. Marinette liked him, she was intrigued about this group of people who for one reason or another had decided to become heroes. She admired them, no one had given them a magical talisman which granted them powers. If they got hurt or people died there was no miraculous cure to reset things. And people did die in Gotham, she had done as much research to prepare for this trip. Marinette was a little worried Batman and the others would take one look at them, hear their story, and just write them off as a group of children who couldn't handle their own problems. She didn't think Batman would mock her or write them off like when they contacted the Justice League. But she was afraid of him taking over.

Though maybe....just maybe he would understand where she was coming from. Batman did not let other super powered people into Gotham to help him. He had rules that she understood. The villains in Gotham couldn't be handled by just anyone. So that was why she hoped he would accept that she and her team ran the show when it came to protecting Paris. Yes they needed help but if Batman came or sent someone, it was going to have to be on her terms or nothing at all. The thought of an akumatized Red Hood or Superman was enough to give anyone nightmares. Nightwing seemed to understand that she couldn't really go into details just yet. He was content to sit and play with Kaalki.....speaking of that....

"Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake! Clap your hooves and do a little shake!"

"Are you sure he was the right one to approach first?" Honey Flash asked for the third time, which made Ladybug laugh. Nightwing was having a lot of fun playing with Kaalki. Way more than she ever expected him to have.

"He's just having fun." she smiled. Though soon they heard something they had been waiting for.

"Nightwing everyone who is in the city has assembled in the cave." Batman reported causing the two Paris hero's eyes to widen a little. "What is your ETA?"

Ladybug could hear the grin in Nightwing's tone. "Oh...about five seconds."

Robin crossed his arms and scowled. Why had Richard requested that everyone returned to the cave? He had been working on an important case.

"Where the hell is dickface?" Hood grumbled, clearly not happy to be called back. But they knew Dick wouldn't do something like this just for kicks.

Suddenly a large blue circle appeared and it soon opened up to show that it was a portal that opened up into a different part of Gotham. Robin tensed his hand going to his utility belt. To his surprise Nightwing stepped out to be followed by two girls in costume, they looked like....a bee and a ladybug?

Hood was the first to speak "Uh....Dickie Bird.....what the hell?"

Robin jumped into action. "Nightwing what is the meaning of this?!" he demanded. "You have brought strangers into our ranks. You have compromised the cave!" He was shocked and angry at Richard's carelessness.
