Look What You Made Me Do

You Can't Handle All My Sunshine

((A/N: Marinette and Chloe tell the Batfam about Team Miraculous, but they also learn about all the bad things Paris is dealing with. And that is a lot of stuff.))

Marinette exchanged a look with Chloe, it seemed they were both wondering how many times they would have to tell this story. "We probably shouldn't be saying anything." Marinette began

"Why is that?" Cass asked.

"Well a lot of it has been kept out of the media. The French government is worried about the economy being ill affected." she continued.

"Man fuck the government!" Jason declared.

"Jason!" Mr. Wayne scolded.

"A few years ago a villain named Hawkmoth appeared. He finds people experiencing strong negative emotions and sends out a purple butterfly called an akuma to take control of them so he can use them. At the same time two superheroes appeared to keep Paris safe, LadyBug and Chat Noir." She knew that Tim, Dick, and Jason had heard this before.

"Wait let me get this straight." Stephanie said after a long pause. "There is an evil butterfly man attacking Paris and he gets stopped by two heroes dressed like a cat and a ladybug?"

Chloe felt her temper start to rise. She was starting to think that their government was onto something by keeping this a secret. It was a hard sell, but that didn't stop her from getting annoyed when these Americans scoffed at their problems. "Think what you like!" she snapped "I just got terrorized by a psychotic clown. So if you really think Gotham has a leg to stand on when it comes to better heroes and villains you are being ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!"

She felt a hand on his shoulder and she sighed as she tried to calm down. Chloe didn't need anyone looking down on her, these people had no idea what the people of Paris had been through.

"It's true." Tim spoke up. "All those Paris kids have this alert on their phones that let them know when there is an akuma attack. One happened during the W.E. tour. They really do have super heroes. But it's a team now." Things were getting a little out of hand. They didn't want Marinette and Chloe to feel defensive, they wanted the girls to open up.There wasn't much to be found online and Ladybug said she was going to be busy for the next three weeks, so the only option they had was trying to get information from Marinette and Chloe. Them coming to live at the Manor made things a little easier.

"Why don't you tell us more about Ladybug and the other Paris heroes? I can't find much on them." Which was saying a lot.

Marinette exchanged a look with Chloe, they hadn't expected anyone in America being interested in this kind of stuff. Maybe if they had gone somewhere besides Gotham, where there was a team of superheroes and a group of villains running wild, it wouldn't have been an issue. Everyone on the team had picked a member to be a fan of. Chloe of course was all about Ladybug since it might seem strange for her to switch to a different Team Miraculous member. Marinette didn't want to pick between her friends so she said she liked both Honey Flash and Ryuko. Before this she had always been a Chat Noir supporter but that would be painful considering everything that had happened. Since Luka was dating Kagami it would be awkward to fangirl over Viperion. Luka understood and agreed. Marinette knew that there was magic that kept people from automatically connecting her to Ladybug but didn't want to push that by playing the part of a big Ladybug fan.Instead she showed the normal amount of interest in the heroine almost everyone loved.

Chloe occasionally had to remind Marinette that she wasn't completely tamed. This time she did it by claiming that she shipped Ladybug and Viperion. It never failed to get her best friend flustered and embarrassed. Worst of all Kagami had decided to have a sense of humor about the situation instead of taking Chloe's head off, like Marinette had been hoping for. Kagami was normally always so serious so Marinette figured she would not approve of Chloe's antics. Sure there had been a short time when Marinette thought she might have liked Luka before deciding that they made better friends.
