Leen's Attempt At Daminette December 2020

🔐Feeling Trapped and Gaining Freedom🔐

Contains bad parents Tom and Sabine.

Trapped. Damian felt trapped. He had been benched and grounded yet again from patrol because he apparently killed someone. But he didn't, he really didn't. The man had chosen to stab himself with his fallen sword, and yet when he told the rest of the family, they didn't believe. Disbelief and shame written clearly on their faces. It hurt if he was being honest. Even after living together for five years they still doubted him. Trapped, he wasn't given a choice but to obey. He never told anyone, but he could feel the family growing on him. The fact that they didn't believe him hurts more than he would like to admit. So he did it. One thing that he had never thought he would be doing. He devised a plan and packed a bags.

He left the place that was just beginning to feel like home.

Trapped. Marinette felt trapped. She closed her eyes as she replayed the insults that had been thrown her way in her head. She ignored Tikki's concerned glances. She ignored her parents' shouts and degrading. Marinette thought about what she did wrong, she must've done something that caused everyone to turn on her so easily. She closed her eyes and looked at the ring on her finger. The cat miraculous. What did she do that made her partner join sides with Hawkmoth? Is she in the wrong for all that has happened to her? She must've done something. But what? She unconsciously walked to the miracle box and took her earrings and her ring off, placing them in their respective places along with the brooches that had been lost and dropped off on her balcony. She did the one thing that she has been planning all week. She put the miracle box in her bag, leapt of her balcony, and called for a portal.

She left the place that hadn't felt like home in a long time.

They both ended up in New York. Wandering on the streets, with nowhere to go. Fate had decided that they should meet. They got to know each other and decided to go through this together. Marinette eventually told Damian of all her secrets and as did he. With luck, an old couple found both and decided to house them. Marinette recognize her. It was Marianne Lenoir and her old mentor, Wang Fu. They felt guilty for using them like this, so as a repayment for their hospitality, they started a small business which was soon to be growing.

Soon enough, news reached that people were looking for them. They hid and only two years later did the search die down. By that time, feelings had sprouted between the both of them. They started dating and eventually Damian proposed. Albeit young, they knew they would not spend time with anyone else. She is his ladybug and he is her black cat, or soulmates as the kwamies would say. They were wedded by Marianne who told them to not ask questions.

They didn't expect to receive and invitation by the one and only Bruce Wayne and Timothy Drake.

'Dear Mr. D and Mrs. M of the Boutique D'oiseaux et De Coccinelles' it read, their known aliases written. 'You are invited to this years Wayne New Year's Charity Masquerade' continued by the time, date, place and the signatures of both CEOs. They thought about it. Marinette knew Damian missed his family even though he wouldn't admit it.

"It's a masquerade Dames," Marinette said to him, "If you don't want to then don't go, but if you do no one would know." "And if they find out?" Damian reasoned, "I just can't go back becoming a boy that is expected to do everything right." "Dove, look at me," she said, "Even if they did, you are a legal adult, they can't do anything about that."

They both pondered on the thought.

Should they go? Should they not?
