Look What You Made Me Do

Did You Think Marinette Wouldn't Hear The Things You Said About Her?

Dick was pretty much bouncing in his seat as he waited for Marinette and Chloe to come back down. He couldn't wait to see who the two would be dressed like today.

"No wonder Bruce never adopted another child when he has you."

Dick ignored Jason's comment. So what if he had been the youngest of the Robins? Nothing could get him down!

"Richard if you don't calm down Pennyworth will think you're sneaking cereal again." Damian warned.

Nope! This excited energy was all him! When the girls came back Dick was not disappointed. Not that he had been really worried about that. Marinette was a magic baking pixie girl who could sew! Did she know that they were all secretly the vigilante heroes of Gotham? She had to. Today was the trip to the aquarium where Babs and Stephanie would be chaperoning.

And who did Marinette come bouncing into the kitchen dressed as? Batgirl! Her outfit was simple yet effective. A pair of purple jeans with a big yellow belt to represent the utility belt. Her t-shirt was also purple with a yellow bat symbol over the chest with a cape that was attached at this shoulders. She even wore a cowl with her hair down. Yellow gloves and boots finished her classic original Batgirl look.

Meanwhile Chloe walked into the room like she owned it dressed as Spoiler. It was hard to tell if it was a body suit or a top and pants due to the purple belt at her waist. There was a little purple utility belt on her right upper thigh. What was most impressive was the purple hooded cape with a face mask the covered Chloe's face from the nose down alone with the purple gloves and boots. Chloe's hair was down and pulled front. Dick was truely impressed with Marinette's talent and attention to detail. Babs and Stephanie were going to love this.

Marinette couldn't help but smile as Dick squealed over the outfits she had made for Chloe and herself. She really loved making clothes and that had dropped off a lot after things started to go down hill more and more after Lila started to turn everyone against her. She just hadn't felt inspired to even sketch, let alone touch the sewing machine she had gotten as a child. With support from Chloe, Luka, and Kagami she had slowly gone back to enjoying things that she hadn't been able to enjoy for a long time. Uncle Jagged had been overjoyed and excited when she told him she had started to sew again and wanted to know when she might design for him again. That led to him wanting to share her name with others. And that was how M.D.C came to be.

She had worked really hard on all the outfits for the Gotham trip. It had been a good way to work off the excess energy using the black cat miraculous gave her in a positive way. Sure there had been plenty of sleepless nights but it had been so worth it. Especially seeing how excited Dick got over her outfits made her feel really good.

"Wow Dick you sure must be a big fan of Batman and his team." Marinette smiled. Tim gave a loud snort of laughter into his coffee and Jason looked like he was trying really hard not to laugh as well. Damian seemed calm but he was always a little hard to read.

"I am a fan of talent." Dick answered. "Now we should get going so we won't be late."

Chloe looked up from her phone for the first time in awhile. "I can not wait to see the look on Lie-la's face when she sees us."

Marinette knew that she should say something about that not being nice. Instead she turned her attention to Dick. "Are you sure there's nothing Lila can do to get us sent home?"

"Richard has taken all precautions to be sure that she-wolf will have no power in this matter." Damian assured her, speaking for the first time that morning. Marinette felt a warmth wash over her. Damian sounded so sure that it put her at ease. It really was sweet how much faith he has in his big brother. She really hoped they weren't under estimating Lila like she once had. It didn't sound like it, so she was hopeful.

"Damian is correct." Dick said, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Bruce has taken every security precaution possible. Tim has been hard at work and looked over all the rules and guidelines your school has about field trips. You two haven't broken any rules so you can't be sent home."

Marinette nodded with a smile. "Okay let's get going." She was still feeling a little nervous. But she was going to have faith in Dick and his family. Plus it would be a lie if she said that Lila's shriek of outrage at the sight of them wasn't satisfying.

Lila had wasted no time the night before after Marinette and Chloe were taken away. She marched up to the front desk and demanded that she and Alya be allowed to take residence in the suite the two girls had once occupied. After all it wasn't like the suite was being wasted any more. So she didn't see a reason why she couldn't have what she wanted.

When her classmates wandered over her tone became a little more sweet. She wasn't really worried about what hotel staff thought of her. They weren't important in the slightest. However she still did need the fools in her class to see that she was being sweet and polite. If the hotel staff refused then they would seem like the bad guys and she would be seen as the victim. The role she had perfected long before this point. There was some hesitation but in the end she got her way. It would have been preferable to have the suite to herself of course but she knew she had to share with Alya.

The next morning Lila was excited to get the day started. They were going to the aquarium today. Of course Lila didn't care about stupid fish but the fact that Marinette and Chloe wouldn't be there had her looking forward to the trip. She had spent the night listening to Alya telling her how amazing she was to have Marinette and Chloe sent away. How brave she had been to take a stand for the class and how much safer she and the others would now feel. Lila always loved hearing praise directed at her. Okay, so maybe it wasn't so bad sharing the best suite in the Gotham Rose with Alya.

Lila modestly smiled over breakfast as the others talked about how excited they were for the trip to the aquarium and how safe they would feel because of Lila. She noticed that Adrien and Juleka seemed a little more subdued than normal, but as long as they didn't cause trouble then that was fine. Nino kept looking at something on his phone and texting, but that probably wasn't anything important. If it was Alya would know and would have told her. Alya was boring and predictable but she liked to talk.

Finally the bus came to pick them all up and they got onto it happily chattering away. "If they think Marinette is the contest winner will they let us into the aquarium?" Kim asked. "Those other times they wouldn't let us do anything if she wasn't with us."

Lila didn't miss a beat. "Marinette probably set things up like that on purpose." she explained. "She just wanted to feel important, it wasn't enough that she claimed all the credit for herself. But I'm sure by now Mr. Wayne has set things to rights. Now that he's seen what a danger Marinette was to the trip he will have fixed things. If there is anything wrong I'm sure one of those silly chaperones will be there to take care of any problems."

They had all been standing outside the entrance to the aquarium for a few minutes when a limo pulled up. Lila frowned a little bit as Dick stepped out. Why was that idiot showing up in a limo still? Instead of heading over to their group he turned his attention behind him, and then time seemed to slow down. Lila's eyes went wide as Marinette Dupain-Fucking-Cheng stepped out of the limo dressed in a ridiculous outfit followed by the world's most annoying blonde bitch Chloe Bourgeois, who was also dressed in a stupid outfit.

What was going on?! Marinette and Chloe were supposed to be back in Paris by now! She let out a small frustrated shriek and marched over to the trio. "What are they doing here?!" she demanded pointing at Marinette and Chloe.
