Look What You Made Me Do

Marinette Knows Her Gotham Boys

(A/N: Marinette makes something special for Jason, who just might have found two very good reasons to stick around the manor. The score is now Chloe:2 Jason:0. But it's okay because he has chocolate to soothe him.)

Dick couldn't help help but bounce down the steps, it was hard not to slide down the banister but he would be in so much trouble if he got caught. With there being guests in the manor Dick did not want any trouble, especially when the guests were so much fun. He really hoped that Kory and Mar'i would be home soon. They had left last week to go visit Tamaran but he was expecting them back soon. He couldn't wait for them to meet Marinette and Chloe!

His eyes widened, even though he wasn't half way to the kitchen he could smell something amazing in the air. Had Alfred been baking this morning? That wasn't really like him. Sure Alfred would sometimes make pancakes or crepes. The latter made sense considering the house guests they now had. When he stepped into the kitchen he was pleased to see Marinette in a flour dusted apron, though at the same time he was disappointed that she wasn't wearing a cute little outfit.

Marinette smiled at him. "I'm not going to bake in one of my special outfits." It was like she could read his mind.

"That wasn't.....I-I mean good morning." Dick stammered trying to recover.

"Nice save."

Dick's eyes went wide with surprise. "Jay?!" It was so strange to see Jason at the small breakfast nook without it being the end result of a it being the end result of a pratol that went so late or was so exhausting that he just crashed. Had Jaybird gone out after the girls went to bed? It was possible. Though they were supposed to be toning things down! Dick was pretty sure there was a way to broach the subject without Jason blowing up at him. It would be tricky but not impossible. Challenge accepted!

"What smells so good?" he asked.

"Heaven." a sleepy but muffled voice announced.

Dick was once again surprised because not only was Jason at the small table in the breakfast nook that they used for informal morning meals. If there were more of them then they would eat at the dining table, but Tim was there as well. And he looked like he was functioning like a normal human! Usually the only reason Tim was up this early was if he hadn't slept at all or if he had a W.E. meeting, but even then he more closely resembled a zombie as he nursed a cup of coffee like it was his life line. Dick was really loving the recently set up rule that Tim needed to eat breakfast if he expected Alfred to let him near the contents of the coffee pot.

"Miss Dupain-Cheng has been nice enough to bake this morning." Damian replied, okay that wasn't strange because Dami had always been a morning person.

Dick took note of what was on the table and decided that Marinette must be some kind of magical baking fairy. On the table were croissants, what looked like little pastries with chocolate inside them, and two types of bread. One that looked like it would be good to just use for plain toast and one that looked soft and fluffy.

"Damian I'm living in your house for the rest of the month." Marinette smiled. "I think that allows for first names!" Dick once again watched in fascination as Damian became slightly flustered. Most people would miss it but Dick considered himself an expert in understanding the youngest and most prickly member of the family.

"I'm used to waking up early plus I don't think I'm quite used to the time change. So I made a few things." Marinette smiled. Dick learned that 'a few things' turned out to be croissants, pain au chocolat, a baguette and the soft fluffy looking bread was brioche.

"Good morning Master Dick." Alfred greeted. "Would you like to partake of some of the wonderful pastries Miss Marinette has made or would you like something a little more savory?"
