(AN: Red Hood comes through for the girls. But it's not like anyone doubted him....except for Chloe, and she's not sorry about it. He took long enough! So rude.

I debated a lot about this. What to say if I was going to say anything at all. I decided to just put things to rest so no one gets disappointing or angry later on. Lila is not going to be meta in this story. I thought long and hard about this. She is just a very manipulative person. Some people know just what to say, when, and how to say it to get away with awful things. I know some of you were really behind the meta theory. But at the end of the day Marinette's classmates will need to be accountable for what they did. It's too easy for them to be able to hide behind saying that Lila's powers made them act the way they did. In the end I want them to have to own it. Everyone from Alya who turned on her best friend to Adrien who has been too afraid to speak up. Everyone's hands are dirty,some are dirtier than others. But everyone has made their choices and I want them to have to face them later on)

Marinette couldn't help but be nervous. She had called Red Hood over an hour ago but she hadn't heard anything. What if he wasn't able to get a hold of Dick or Mr. Wayne? She wasn't sure if Mme. Marabelle would be able to send her and Chloe home or not. Technically they hadn't done anything wrong. The outfits she created were all within the school dress code, she had been very careful when making them. But when it came to Lila anything could happen. She just had this way with words and tones. If it weren't for the fact that she used her talents for evil it would be impressive. But since she did insist on using her talents for evil it just made her feel tired and sad.

"If Red Hood doesn't come through I'm going to kick his ass." Chloe grumbled which made Marinette laugh. Only someone like Chloe would think to threaten the anti hero.

"I'm sure he'll come through us." she smiled, though she didn't want to admit that she was getting a little worried too. She had no doubt that Lila would love to send them home. Though she was glad that she had been able to get Batman to agree to help in the fight against Hawkmoth. So as much as she would hate for Lila to get her way, she had accomplished one of her most important goals for this trip. Though missing the rest of the trip, especially the gala at the end would be extremely disappointing. Though even though she felt a bit bad to have the thought, it would be nice to be home without the rest of her class.

"Dupain-Cheng my time is like a toddler in a tiara.....precious and short."

Marinette was about to respond but instead there was a knock at the door. She wasn't overly surprised to see Lila. "Mme. Marabelle wants you two downstairs. Hope your bags are packed because you losers are going home!" she bragged before turning away to saunter off. Marinette watched her before looking at Chloe.

"Let's get this over with." she sighed.The two went downstairs and weren't really surprised to find that the whole class was downstairs. She was pretty sure that in a normal setting this would be something more private but okay.

"Girls, please sit down." Mme. Marabelle said in a gentle tone.

"No thanks, we'll stand." Chloe answered for them and Marinette nodded in agreement.

Their teacher looked surprised and pressed her lips together for a moment before she was smiling again. "Now girls....I know a lot of scary things have happened recently. I'm worried that the situation has become a bit more dangerous. I've been in contact with the principle and we think it might be best if you two return back to Paris."

"What happened was out of our control!" Marinette protested. "Everyone knows Gotham is a dangerous place!"

"Yes, and your presence might continue to put the class in danger." Marinette did not appreciate the tone being used with them. Apparently neither did Chloe.
