I just wanted to say thank you for the Thor snippet and was wondering if you had any headcanon for this adorable duo?
Thor and Marinette Headcanons!
Thor views Mari as the little sister he never had and as such teaches her Asgardian customs and fighting
He tells Frigga about her, who insist of meeting her and joins in on the whole âMarinette is now Asgardianâ business. She teaches her about Asgardian clothing and etiquette and history and literature
Thor makes sure to keep an eye out for the tiny girl. Partially because he has heard of Lila and Chloe and he is worried and partially because he doesnât want to let her down like he had with Loki
Marinette stress bakes a lot and Thor stress eats. they create a perfect ecosystem of stress relief. When Loki joins in, he is the one who stress buys ingredients and stress cleans the kitchen after those two are done
Marinette is now accustomed to being plucked off the ground and seated on Thorâs shoulder at comepletly random times. Marinette likes being tall and they both feel a little safer knowing the other is so immediately close and okay
âąThor likes to randomly show up to Marinetteâs classes and try and rake her out. But he ends up sitting in the back if the class to learn about humans.
âąThe other avengers had a heart attack when Thor told them he had a sister.
Oh my stars! I love these additions! Thank you for sharing them!!!!!
Just for the heck of it, have some more!
Marinette has and will punch someone again if they shit talk her big brother(s). Thor is proud.
Mari tried to teach Thor pop culture but it didnât work out as expected. Subsequently, they now have a whole slew of inside jokes that everyone vaguely understands because they are semi-pop culture related but also so wrong that no one really understands anymore.
Mari is in awe of Asgardian fashion and makes elaborate outfits mixing asgardian and earth fashion, resulting in a whole new over-the-top trend that almost exclusively she and her brother(s) and select others wear. Tony loves it.
Loki loves the clothes Marinette makes and sees another way for world domination, through a corporate connection
He and Tony help her set up her business on both Earth and Asgard
She becomes a hit almost instantly, Thor is super proud of his little sister and often models for her ads
All of the avengers now want in, and have bribed her with various things to have her style things exclusively for them.
Black Widow teaches her awesome fighting moves and braids her hair
Steve has Fury and Tony make her a small Shield that she gets to design herself
Odin has offered to make her a statue and place her in honorary god status to which Marinette politely declines because oh my gosh I'm not a God
Hulk likes that she is super strong despite her small size and Banner loves how intelligent she is and lowkey slips facts about his area of expertise to her while they talk
Hawkeye introduces her to his family and they have dinner together often, he also teaches her how to use a bow and arrow and she shows him the uses of a yoyo
Oh my stars these are fabulous!!! I love them!!!! Yâall know what? Letâs keep this tread going! I am officially offering a challenge to those who choose to accept to add on to this!!!!
Shout out to @chocolate1721 and @zestyzealot for adding their own Headcanons!!!!! I love them alll!!!!!!!
Marinette is recruited to the Avengers and becomes the European representative for them.
The public doesnât know her civilian identity, knowing her instead as Bruce Bannerâs niece who made it big in the fashion world and is an intern at Stark Industries
She is Pepperâs personal stylist, making sure she always looks like the boss bitch she is.
Pepper recruited Marinette to help SI develop more comfortable and affordable business clothes that are still stylish.
Pepper is one of Marinetteâs personal heroes and Thor approves as he views Pepper to be on par with Lady Sif.
Marinette is no longer allowed to be around the Warriors Three without supervision. No, they donât want to talk about it. Several Asgardians still cower at the sound of bird song.
You know what, I like info dumping so let me join in the bandwagon!
Even in her full Asgardian form, Marinette is still shorter than many Asgardians. When Marinette is in her normal form, shes almost two heads shorter than both Loki and Thor, and when she's in her full Asgardian, Marinette is still short in Asgardian standards.
Because of her size, many Asgardians (especially Thor and Loki) are very protective of her because they can't help it.
Heimdall likes to share some tea about Loki and Thor to Marinette. This causes Marinette to gain a whole heap of blackmail about the two gods and does a whole lot of mischief learning. (Heimdall sees everything so he's able to see and recount many embarrassing moments of the two Odinsons.)
Once learning that Marinette is a holder of a miraculous, both Loki and Thor got into a debate on which one they would teach Marinette more. Thor wanted to teach Mari more combat style lessons while Loki wanted to teach Mari how to properly use magic, however in the end they were able to make a comprise.
Once Valkyrie aka Brunhiddle comes in, she tries to convince Marinette to join the Valkyries which both Loki and Thor approves. (Thor literally said that he wanted to be a Valkyrie when he was younger of course he's going to encourage Mari to do the same).
Once Thor visits Marinette's family bakery, it quickly became a favorite amongst Asgard as they find the treats there very delicious. It also doesn't help that Thor almost brought and ate everything much to the gobsmacked reactions of the Marinette's parents.
Oh my gosh! I didnât notice these additions early but by the stars @heckinggremlin these are amazing!!!! I was cackling the whole way through! Thank you for adding them!!!!
Odin tries to convince Tom and Sabine to give him joint custody of their daughter. He fails. Miserably.
Loki swears to do no mischief under the Dupain-Cheng roof. Heâs is convinced Sabine is either a Goddess or royalty in disguise.
Marinette can hold Mjolnir. Adrien can move it a little. Lila tries to touch it and is shocked unconscious.
Max becomes Bruceâs intern.
Jagged Stone and Kitty Section are the first Earth musicians to hold concerts in Asgard. XY is banned.
Loki turns into Lila and outs her lies to the class.
Various Avengers get into fights over which college Marinette will attend. Tony says he will pay for her education, up to and including a Doctorate, if sheâll keep him in cool suits.
Alya gets an exclusive with Frigga, who is the most influential person in Asgard. She has all of the naked baby pictures.
Tom and Sabine are offered a contract to provide pastries for SIâs New York branch. Marinette delivers them via Kaalki.
Thor and Loki forbid any boy from asking Mari out unless they can pass a Trial by Combat or Trial of Wits. They are occasionally overruled.
YOU GUYS ARE FORGETTING THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS CROSSOVER!!!
"THE GET HELP" METHOD WOULD BE AMAZING IN THIS CROSSOVER!!
Marinette is smaller than both Loki and Thor. She's also very scrawny compared to both of them.
So a moment comes that the "Get Help" strategy can work, Thor suggests to do it.
Of course Loki immediately says no but Marinette being Marinette gets curious and asks.
Thor excitedly tells her and Marinette at first is kinda reluctant to do it but after Loki using magic to make Marinette more resistant to pain as Thor tends to throw really hard and some Kwamis using their own magic to enhance her also, Marinette is definitely doing "Get Help".
With either Trixx's or Loki's help with illusions, Marinette looked injured and with how frail she looks compared to thor, the enemies definitely lowered their guard more than if they saw Loki.
Literally seconds later, Thor picked Marinette up and..... Thor proceeds to YEET Marinette to the horde of enemies.
Marinette literally flew into the air because she was so light and was thrown so hard that she accelerated faster than Loki if he was thrown.
Of course the enemies didn't saw this coming and as a result, they were knocked out as Marinette bodyslammed against them.
Although Marinette definitely didn't came out of that experience unscathed, she had a lot of fun getting yeeted into the air and asked Thor if they could it again sometimes. Of course without her parents or the avengers knowing because god help them if they figure out what will happen if they found out.
@heckinggremlin has done it again! I love your additions they are so creative and fun. Iâm still grinning for ear to ear!!! Thank you so much for this!!!!
Ajisbsba THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I love interacting with the fanbase and I find that ML is a franchise that's easily to be compatible with crossovers!! Since quarantine literally made me bored, i have more creative ideas!
There's this tumblr post where Thor gave Peter beer after a fight and when Tony said Peter is 15, Thor gave Peter 2 beers because he was a "growing boy"
Thats literally Thor is when it comes to Marinette.
He offers her asgardian mead not knowing that Marinette isn't allowed to drink and they don't know how asgardian mead will affect her, and everyone quickly caught on what was going to happen. others immediately stop Thor and quickly explain what he was doing was in a way wrong.
Of course Thor listens cause he's not a fool.
When Hulk makes an appearance, he takes note about the relationship between Marinette, Thor and Loki.
Hulk then proceeds to refer Marinette as "Baby Avenger" (based out of a fanfic I read). Not tiny person, not tiny avenger, but BABY AVENGER.
This causes everyone to collectively loose their shit and Marinette is lowkey freaking out because she's seen as part of the avengers.
Both Hulk and Marinette get along great and she has created pants that's Hulk tear proof once Bruce hulks out and he really appreciates it.
Marinette then hears about Loki's interactions with Jeff Goldblum at Sakaar and she straights up side eyes Loki cause SHE KNOWS the implications about it.
Of course Loki can't say anything about it because that means incriminating himself and ultimately revealing everything causing Thor to gain more blackmail.
Marinette tends to stay up late designing and finishing commissions so she chugs coffee pots like its nothing.
She, Bruce and Tony bond over it.
However Marinette's coffee consumption has both Loki and Thor worried and they tried to pry her away from coffee once.
Once is the only time they try to do such a thing.
Because the moment they pull her away from coffee, it was the moment where Marinette almost took down 2 gods because she was so sleep deprived that day that her brain forgot to process her surprise.
She immediately apologies once she finds out what she has done and all of the avengers vow to never forcefully not let Marinette have coffee.
I think weâre all forgetting another almost-Avenger â Spider-Man .
Itâs cannon (in comics at least?) that Spidy and Hulk are broâs.
(I like to ignore the romantic subplot between Bruce/Hulk and Black Widow because it was just so weird and awkward, but there was that too. Anyway...)
Spidy is a little jealous of the new bug. Sheâs tiny and cute and fearless about scrambling up the Hulk like a jungle gym to sit on his shoulder â which was totally his thing first.
Then Tony makes some sort of joke about Hulkâs new bug collecting hobby.
Hulk has two shoulders, and itâs a much better height to be at when glaring at Ironman. (Especially since Peterâs still a bit shorter. Heâll catch up eventually, but he hasnât yet.)
Natasha puts an end to that line of teasing with just a smile. The teens are suitably impressed.
Though, Hulk does tend to get along well with bug-themed heroes. They tend to be small and light-hearted and open to being friends with a big green rage monster. Ant Man is a friend too. And if we want to cross over with DC, Blue Beetle absolutely joins Hulkâs group of baby bug heroes.
(Robin too, and Tony attempts a âbirds and beesâ joke that ends up quickly aborted when he catches sight of Natasha.)
Get Help is absolutely Marinetteâs favorite. Especially once she convinces Thor to let her be the one throwing people. (Girlâs got super strength when sheâs transformed. đ€·đŒââïž) Thor reluctantly agrees to it, egged on by Lokiâs teasing and Marinetteâs excited wiggling.
Marinette, even as Ladybug, is tiny and adorable , and not a terrible actor. The enemies donât even think to expect trouble from the little girl struggling to prop up a much larger man.
Then Thor is flying at their heads.
Loki is living! Adopting Marinette is absolutely the best thing his older brother has ever done.
Marinette introduces the ploy to the other baby heroes.
Spider-Man tends to instinctively stick to peopleâs faces when heâs yeeted at them. Itâs hilarious. Robin bounces off peopleâs heads, cackling like the little gremlin he is. Blue Beetle sort of just flails, forgetting he can actually fly, and tucks last minute so he hits the opponents like an armored bowling ball.
Spider-Man decides that actually heâs okay with the new bug heroine after all.
Oh @draw-me-some-stories you are a genius. I am on the brink of tears this is so pure and I live for it!! Thank you for adding these to this insane tread!!
Whenever Mari and Miles team up for the Get Help maneuver, no one sees it coming
Miles will hang around her invisible and out of nowhere she'll grab him and yeet him at the bad guys
And while Miles is fine zipping about the city at high speeds, it's a different story when being yoted by a tiny Asgardian and so when he hits the bad dudes everyone gets a nasty shock.
Iâm adding onto the Spiderman bit but with everyone else in the spider verse.
   -  Peter(Parker) would be surprised at the fact Mari can yeet Miles really fast because of her size.
   -  Penny would absolutely love the new clothes that Mari had designed for her.
   -  Gwen would be a tiny bit miffed about Mari throwing Miles but eventually she could be found joining in or videotaping Get Help.
   -  Peter Po. would give Mari a bouquet of cartoon flowers because he thought her laugh was adorable. Â
   -  Noir would be stunned at how magical Asgard was and how bright the colors were, but Mari did a little convincing and now Noir has a brand new outfit...........
   -  The entire Spiderverse gang(besides Miles, Gwen, and Penny) would be super protective of Mari and try to help her whenever they can visit. (Because apparently sheâs a smol bean that needs to be protected at all times).
And I know it was Thor and then Spider-verse but yâall forgot My Winter Soldier and how Mari would definitely be like;
âWhy on earth would I be afraid of you? I have seen my fair share of mind controlled killers. Just over two million people drowned when Siren, a young girl being controlled, flooded all of Paris, and yes, they were brought back, but Two Million People remember dying, drowning, and the victim was never blamed. Thatâs what you are Buck, a victim, so unless you start killing of your own volition, weâre cool.â
And then then all the Avengers that heard Mariâs little speech are like, âWait, what?!â
I just wanted to say thank you for the Thor snippet and was wondering if you had any headcanon for this adorable duo?
Thor and Marinette Headcanons!

Marinette's biology was very interesting as she is Asgardian but yet it took her being in contact with mjolnir to reveal her Asgardian DNA.
Well Tony, Bruce, Loki and Thor decided to look into Marinette's bloodline and found out Asgardian DNA was prominent in both of her mother and father's side.
However the DNA was doormat and needed either a very strong magical artifact or coming into contact with something or someone closely associated with Asgard to activate her Asgardian DNA.
Even when Marinette a ladybug miraculous holder, Tikki knew that theres was something about Marinette that she can't quite figure. Tikki hasn't meet any Asgardians in such a long time that she forgoten the tell tale signs of Marinette being Asgardian.
However Mjolnir can sense other Asgardians even when their DNA is dormat, Mjolnir sensed Marinette's both dormat DNA and magical pull, so Mjolnir activated Marinette's asgardian DNA.
Since this crossover is MCU based, im about to give some angst.
Hela comes and she has escaped her prison and is ready to wreck havoc. She then faces off her brothers and.... sister? Marinette immediately catches her attention, especially when it comes to her magical presence. It only takes her a few moments to figure out that she's not only a miraculous holder, but shes a ladybug holder and a guardian (Hela knows due to many guardians and miraculous holders are in her domain as Goddess of Death). Hela being focused on Marinette made Thor, Loki, Marinette and Tikki (who is with Mari) really worried and they didn't had time to react what happens next. If anyone didn't knew better, people would think Hela will attack Thor first or at least Loki, but no she insteads goes after Marinette first. The rest what happens after the attack is up to you guys and your imagination!
The thing about using so much magic and being the epicenter of creation magic in the universe, Marinette is extremely hard to kill. Some of it can be attributed to her Asgardian heritage but most of it is the fact that Creation will never truly be destroyed and since Marinette is basically Creation Incarnated, she can be serious harmed by most means but only the Black Cat can kill her
Since there is no Black Cat at the moment, she is seriously harmed by Hela and weakened but not dead. She is human but also momentarily Creation. Marinette will continue to be Creation till the day she gives up the Miraculous, effectively making her immortal.
Thor, Loki and Tikki are relieved to find out about this. Tikki has suspected, as this does happen to Ladybug choosers but only the ones that are really really connected to the Miraculous.
(imma steal a little from A:TLA shhhh) If Marinette concertes hard enough, she can access the knowledge of previous Ladybugs and even become more powerful in that focused state. This is how she remakes Asgard after it blows up.
She literally walked out into space with glowing eyes and a red glow about her and in her red, gold and silver dress thatâs a combination of a warriors battle armor and a flowing robe. Sort of like a combination of these two:
Everyone is scared for her and a little bit of her even though they know she wouldnât hurt them. She literally rebuilds Asgard but upgraded right in front of their eyes, bringing back the people who died unnecessarily during this little conflict.
When Thanos comes a knocking.... well, letâs just say that Mari has the Black Cat Ring and is not afraid to use if it means saving the universe from such a piece of trash being.
Omg itâs been a while since I came here, but yâall are forgetting the most badass moment in this:
The moment when the avengers go to the bakery for the first time.
Thor
Thor explodes in. Holding his hammer and smiling like an idiot.
âI have come to pick up my sisterâ
Sabine is confused af and is like âwhoâ
Marinette heard the commotion and is BEGGING every single Kwani that this isnât who she thinks it is
Unfortunately the only one who heard her was plagg and he is cackling
Marinette skids into the backers and comes face-to-face with Thor
âAh sh-â
âAh there you are sister, come the Alfather does not like waiting.â
Sabine doesnât know who this blonde haired weed dude is (if Thor was human I totally see him smoking weed) but he isnât taking her baby anywhere
Sabine yeets him out of the bakery.
Marinette then explains to Sabine that Thor adopted her as a sibling.
Sabine then drags Thor back inside and interrogates him.
Thor is truly terrified of Sabine
Tony
Tony, much like Thor, busts in the bakery, but he is expecting Sabine and Tom to be like all the other internâs parents.
He was not expecting to be verbally destroying by a tiny Asian woman.
He couldnât get a word in
Then he made a mistake. He continuly tries to argue with Sabine
But he somehow ended up buying all their pasteries
Marinette then shoots him an email. âYou done messed up. Never try to argue with my mom. She always wins. Give me a weeks warning before you come here, so this never happens again.â
Natasha
Natasha actually comes in like a normal person. She buys some food and tells Sabine she is there to commission something.
Sabine can tell that Natasha has emotional and mental scars, so she adopts her as a sister.
Natasha doesnât realize it but Sabine would make the worlds best spy.
Natasha doesnât know how this happened but on her birthday she gets a letter from the Dupain-Chengâs that said âto our adopted sister/aunt we love you and wish you nothing but the bestâ
Natasha then goes to peter and shows it to him.
âIs this what being adopted against you will is likeâ
Hey so Iâm back with more avengers meeting Sabine for the first time
Steve
âą Is very polite, a bit shy, and quiet. Sabine asks him if he would be her taste tester.
âą (I headcanon Tom and Sabine collect vintage recipes and try to incorporate some of them into their bakery)
âą Sabine and Tom have been trying out some baked good recipes from the 40âs but they never know if it turns out right or not.
âą Steve loves helping out, whenever he tries one of the recipes (and the recipe is done right) he gets so nostalgic for his time.
âą Tom also puts him to work on making bread with him.
âą This is how steve discovered Marinetteâs true strength
âąSteve sometimes likes to sit in the bakery and draw.
Bucky
âą like steve, Bucky is polite, but a bit more outgoing
âą he also is a vintage recipe taste tester
âąBucky spends more time just enjoying some coffee/tea and reading.
âą He and tom make animal treats for local animal shelters (his first akuma is Mr pigeon.)
âąThe Dupain-Chengs gift him books. Sabine has a few friends in antique shops who keep an eye out for old books. They found one of the books he lost back in the warâŠhe cried.
Wanda and Pietro
âąthey are adopted. Marinette now has another brother and a big sister!
âąNo this is not up for discussion.
âąTom researches Slovakian recipes.
âąThe twins are suspicious. They donât know how to act. Especially when Pietro makes a snarky comment and Marinette snarks back earning both a smack on the hand from Sabine.
I just wanted to say thank you for the Thor snippet and was wondering if you had any headcanon for this adorable duo?
Thor and Marinette Headcanons!
Thor views Mari as the little sister he never had and as such teaches her Asgardian customs and fighting
He tells Frigga about her, who insist of meeting her and joins in on the whole âMarinette is now Asgardianâ business. She teaches her about Asgardian clothing and etiquette and history and literature
Thor makes sure to keep an eye out for the tiny girl. Partially because he has heard of Lila and Chloe and he is worried and partially because he doesnât want to let her down like he had with Loki
Marinette stress bakes a lot and Thor stress eats. they create a perfect ecosystem of stress relief. When Loki joins in, he is the one who stress buys ingredients and stress cleans the kitchen after those two are done
Marinette is now accustomed to being plucked off the ground and seated on Thorâs shoulder at comepletly random times. Marinette likes being tall and they both feel a little safer knowing the other is so immediately close and okay
âąThor likes to randomly show up to Marinetteâs classes and try and rake her out. But he ends up sitting in the back if the class to learn about humans.
âąThe other avengers had a heart attack when Thor told them he had a sister.
Oh my stars! I love these additions! Thank you for sharing them!!!!!
Just for the heck of it, have some more!
Marinette has and will punch someone again if they shit talk her big brother(s). Thor is proud.
Mari tried to teach Thor pop culture but it didnât work out as expected. Subsequently, they now have a whole slew of inside jokes that everyone vaguely understands because they are semi-pop culture related but also so wrong that no one really understands anymore.
Mari is in awe of Asgardian fashion and makes elaborate outfits mixing asgardian and earth fashion, resulting in a whole new over-the-top trend that almost exclusively she and her brother(s) and select others wear. Tony loves it.
Loki loves the clothes Marinette makes and sees another way for world domination, through a corporate connection
He and Tony help her set up her business on both Earth and Asgard
She becomes a hit almost instantly, Thor is super proud of his little sister and often models for her ads
All of the avengers now want in, and have bribed her with various things to have her style things exclusively for them.
Black Widow teaches her awesome fighting moves and braids her hair
Steve has Fury and Tony make her a small Shield that she gets to design herself
Odin has offered to make her a statue and place her in honorary god status to which Marinette politely declines because oh my gosh I'm not a God
Hulk likes that she is super strong despite her small size and Banner loves how intelligent she is and lowkey slips facts about his area of expertise to her while they talk
Hawkeye introduces her to his family and they have dinner together often, he also teaches her how to use a bow and arrow and she shows him the uses of a yoyo
Oh my stars these are fabulous!!! I love them!!!! Yâall know what? Letâs keep this tread going! I am officially offering a challenge to those who choose to accept to add on to this!!!!
Shout out to @chocolate1721 and @zestyzealot for adding their own Headcanons!!!!! I love them alll!!!!!!!
Marinette is recruited to the Avengers and becomes the European representative for them.
The public doesnât know her civilian identity, knowing her instead as Bruce Bannerâs niece who made it big in the fashion world and is an intern at Stark Industries
She is Pepperâs personal stylist, making sure she always looks like the boss bitch she is.
Pepper recruited Marinette to help SI develop more comfortable and affordable business clothes that are still stylish.
Pepper is one of Marinetteâs personal heroes and Thor approves as he views Pepper to be on par with Lady Sif.
Marinette is no longer allowed to be around the Warriors Three without supervision. No, they donât want to talk about it. Several Asgardians still cower at the sound of bird song.
You know what, I like info dumping so let me join in the bandwagon!
Even in her full Asgardian form, Marinette is still shorter than many Asgardians. When Marinette is in her normal form, shes almost two heads shorter than both Loki and Thor, and when she's in her full Asgardian, Marinette is still short in Asgardian standards.
Because of her size, many Asgardians (especially Thor and Loki) are very protective of her because they can't help it.
Heimdall likes to share some tea about Loki and Thor to Marinette. This causes Marinette to gain a whole heap of blackmail about the two gods and does a whole lot of mischief learning. (Heimdall sees everything so he's able to see and recount many embarrassing moments of the two Odinsons.)
Once learning that Marinette is a holder of a miraculous, both Loki and Thor got into a debate on which one they would teach Marinette more. Thor wanted to teach Mari more combat style lessons while Loki wanted to teach Mari how to properly use magic, however in the end they were able to make a comprise.
Once Valkyrie aka Brunhiddle comes in, she tries to convince Marinette to join the Valkyries which both Loki and Thor approves. (Thor literally said that he wanted to be a Valkyrie when he was younger of course he's going to encourage Mari to do the same).
Once Thor visits Marinette's family bakery, it quickly became a favorite amongst Asgard as they find the treats there very delicious. It also doesn't help that Thor almost brought and ate everything much to the gobsmacked reactions of the Marinette's parents.
Oh my gosh! I didnât notice these additions early but by the stars @heckinggremlin these are amazing!!!! I was cackling the whole way through! Thank you for adding them!!!!
Odin tries to convince Tom and Sabine to give him joint custody of their daughter. He fails. Miserably.
Loki swears to do no mischief under the Dupain-Cheng roof. Heâs is convinced Sabine is either a Goddess or royalty in disguise.
Marinette can hold Mjolnir. Adrien can move it a little. Lila tries to touch it and is shocked unconscious.
Max becomes Bruceâs intern.
Jagged Stone and Kitty Section are the first Earth musicians to hold concerts in Asgard. XY is banned.
Loki turns into Lila and outs her lies to the class.
Various Avengers get into fights over which college Marinette will attend. Tony says he will pay for her education, up to and including a Doctorate, if sheâll keep him in cool suits.
Alya gets an exclusive with Frigga, who is the most influential person in Asgard. She has all of the naked baby pictures.
Tom and Sabine are offered a contract to provide pastries for SIâs New York branch. Marinette delivers them via Kaalki.
Thor and Loki forbid any boy from asking Mari out unless they can pass a Trial by Combat or Trial of Wits. They are occasionally overruled.
YOU GUYS ARE FORGETTING THE BEST PART ABOUT THIS CROSSOVER!!!
"THE GET HELP" METHOD WOULD BE AMAZING IN THIS CROSSOVER!!
Marinette is smaller than both Loki and Thor. She's also very scrawny compared to both of them.
So a moment comes that the "Get Help" strategy can work, Thor suggests to do it.
Of course Loki immediately says no but Marinette being Marinette gets curious and asks.
Thor excitedly tells her and Marinette at first is kinda reluctant to do it but after Loki using magic to make Marinette more resistant to pain as Thor tends to throw really hard and some Kwamis using their own magic to enhance her also, Marinette is definitely doing "Get Help".
With either Trixx's or Loki's help with illusions, Marinette looked injured and with how frail she looks compared to thor, the enemies definitely lowered their guard more than if they saw Loki.
Literally seconds later, Thor picked Marinette up and..... Thor proceeds to YEET Marinette to the horde of enemies.
Marinette literally flew into the air because she was so light and was thrown so hard that she accelerated faster than Loki if he was thrown.
Of course the enemies didn't saw this coming and as a result, they were knocked out as Marinette bodyslammed against them.
Although Marinette definitely didn't came out of that experience unscathed, she had a lot of fun getting yeeted into the air and asked Thor if they could it again sometimes. Of course without her parents or the avengers knowing because god help them if they figure out what will happen if they found out.
@heckinggremlin has done it again! I love your additions they are so creative and fun. Iâm still grinning for ear to ear!!! Thank you so much for this!!!!
Ajisbsba THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I love interacting with the fanbase and I find that ML is a franchise that's easily to be compatible with crossovers!! Since quarantine literally made me bored, i have more creative ideas!
There's this tumblr post where Thor gave Peter beer after a fight and when Tony said Peter is 15, Thor gave Peter 2 beers because he was a "growing boy"
Thats literally Thor is when it comes to Marinette.
He offers her asgardian mead not knowing that Marinette isn't allowed to drink and they don't know how asgardian mead will affect her, and everyone quickly caught on what was going to happen. others immediately stop Thor and quickly explain what he was doing was in a way wrong.
Of course Thor listens cause he's not a fool.
When Hulk makes an appearance, he takes note about the relationship between Marinette, Thor and Loki.
Hulk then proceeds to refer Marinette as "Baby Avenger" (based out of a fanfic I read). Not tiny person, not tiny avenger, but BABY AVENGER.
This causes everyone to collectively loose their shit and Marinette is lowkey freaking out because she's seen as part of the avengers.
Both Hulk and Marinette get along great and she has created pants that's Hulk tear proof once Bruce hulks out and he really appreciates it.
Marinette then hears about Loki's interactions with Jeff Goldblum at Sakaar and she straights up side eyes Loki cause SHE KNOWS the implications about it.
Of course Loki can't say anything about it because that means incriminating himself and ultimately revealing everything causing Thor to gain more blackmail.
Marinette tends to stay up late designing and finishing commissions so she chugs coffee pots like its nothing.
She, Bruce and Tony bond over it.
However Marinette's coffee consumption has both Loki and Thor worried and they tried to pry her away from coffee once.
Once is the only time they try to do such a thing.
Because the moment they pull her away from coffee, it was the moment where Marinette almost took down 2 gods because she was so sleep deprived that day that her brain forgot to process her surprise.
She immediately apologies once she finds out what she has done and all of the avengers vow to never forcefully not let Marinette have coffee.
I think weâre all forgetting another almost-Avenger â Spider-Man .
Itâs cannon (in comics at least?) that Spidy and Hulk are broâs.
(I like to ignore the romantic subplot between Bruce/Hulk and Black Widow because it was just so weird and awkward, but there was that too. Anyway...)
Spidy is a little jealous of the new bug. Sheâs tiny and cute and fearless about scrambling up the Hulk like a jungle gym to sit on his shoulder â which was totally his thing first.
Then Tony makes some sort of joke about Hulkâs new bug collecting hobby.
Hulk has two shoulders, and itâs a much better height to be at when glaring at Ironman. (Especially since Peterâs still a bit shorter. Heâll catch up eventually, but he hasnât yet.)
Natasha puts an end to that line of teasing with just a smile. The teens are suitably impressed.
Though, Hulk does tend to get along well with bug-themed heroes. They tend to be small and light-hearted and open to being friends with a big green rage monster. Ant Man is a friend too. And if we want to cross over with DC, Blue Beetle absolutely joins Hulkâs group of baby bug heroes.
(Robin too, and Tony attempts a âbirds and beesâ joke that ends up quickly aborted when he catches sight of Natasha.)
Get Help is absolutely Marinetteâs favorite. Especially once she convinces Thor to let her be the one throwing people. (Girlâs got super strength when sheâs transformed. đ€·đŒââïž) Thor reluctantly agrees to it, egged on by Lokiâs teasing and Marinetteâs excited wiggling.
Marinette, even as Ladybug, is tiny and adorable , and not a terrible actor. The enemies donât even think to expect trouble from the little girl struggling to prop up a much larger man.
Then Thor is flying at their heads.
Loki is living! Adopting Marinette is absolutely the best thing his older brother has ever done.
Marinette introduces the ploy to the other baby heroes.
Spider-Man tends to instinctively stick to peopleâs faces when heâs yeeted at them. Itâs hilarious. Robin bounces off peopleâs heads, cackling like the little gremlin he is. Blue Beetle sort of just flails, forgetting he can actually fly, and tucks last minute so he hits the opponents like an armored bowling ball.
Spider-Man decides that actually heâs okay with the new bug heroine after all.
Oh @draw-me-some-stories you are a genius. I am on the brink of tears this is so pure and I live for it!! Thank you for adding these to this insane tread!!
Marinette's biology was very interesting as she is Asgardian but yet it took her being in contact with mjolnir to reveal her Asgardian DNA.
Well Tony, Bruce, Loki and Thor decided to look into Marinette's bloodline and found out Asgardian DNA was prominent in both of her mother and father's side.
However the DNA was doormat and needed either a very strong magical artifact or coming into contact with something or someone closely associated with Asgard to activate her Asgardian DNA.
Even when Marinette a ladybug miraculous holder, Tikki knew that theres was something about Marinette that she can't quite figure. Tikki hasn't meet any Asgardians in such a long time that she forgoten the tell tale signs of Marinette being Asgardian.
However Mjolnir can sense other Asgardians even when their DNA is dormat, Mjolnir sensed Marinette's both dormat DNA and magical pull, so Mjolnir activated Marinette's asgardian DNA.
Since this crossover is MCU based, im about to give some angst.
Hela comes and she has escaped her prison and is ready to wreck havoc. She then faces off her brothers and.... sister? Marinette immediately catches her attention, especially when it comes to her magical presence. It only takes her a few moments to figure out that she's not only a miraculous holder, but shes a ladybug holder and a guardian (Hela knows due to many guardians and miraculous holders are in her domain as Goddess of Death). Hela being focused on Marinette made Thor, Loki, Marinette and Tikki (who is with Mari) really worried and they didn't had time to react what happens next. If anyone didn't knew better, people would think Hela will attack Thor first or at least Loki, but no she insteads goes after Marinette first. The rest what happens after the attack is up to you guys and your imagination!
The thing about using so much magic and being the epicenter of creation magic in the universe, Marinette is extremely hard to kill. Some of it can be attributed to her Asgardian heritage but most of it is the fact that Creation will never truly be destroyed and since Marinette is basically Creation Incarnated, she can be serious harmed by most means but only the Black Cat can kill her
Since there is no Black Cat at the moment, she is seriously harmed by Hela and weakened but not dead. She is human but also momentarily Creation. Marinette will continue to be Creation till the day she gives up the Miraculous, effectively making her immortal.
Thor, Loki and Tikki are relieved to find out about this. Tikki has suspected, as this does happen to Ladybug choosers but only the ones that are really really connected to the Miraculous.
(imma steal a little from A:TLA shhhh) If Marinette concertes hard enough, she can access the knowledge of previous Ladybugs and even become more powerful in that focused state. This is how she remakes Asgard after it blows up.
She literally walked out into space with glowing eyes and a red glow about her and in her red, gold and silver dress thatâs a combination of a warriors battle armor and a flowing robe. Sort of like a combination of these two:
Everyone is scared for her and a little bit of her even though they know she wouldnât hurt them. She literally rebuilds Asgard but upgraded right in front of their eyes, bringing back the people who died unnecessarily during this little conflict.
When Thanos comes a knocking.... well, letâs just say that Mari has the Black Cat Ring and is not afraid to use if it means saving the universe from such a piece of trash being.
Omg itâs been a while since I came here, but yâall are forgetting the most badass moment in this:
The moment when the avengers go to the bakery for the first time.
Thor
Thor explodes in. Holding his hammer and smiling like an idiot.
âI have come to pick up my sisterâ
Sabine is confused af and is like âwhoâ
Marinette heard the commotion and is BEGGING every single Kwani that this isnât who she thinks it is
Unfortunately the only one who heard her was plagg and he is cackling
Marinette skids into the backers and comes face-to-face with Thor
âAh sh-â
âAh there you are sister, come the Alfather does not like waiting.â
Sabine doesnât know who this blonde haired weed dude is (if Thor was human I totally see him smoking weed) but he isnât taking her baby anywhere
Sabine yeets him out of the bakery.
Marinette then explains to Sabine that Thor adopted her as a sibling.
Sabine then drags Thor back inside and interrogates him.
Thor is truly terrified of Sabine
Tony
Tony, much like Thor, busts in the bakery, but he is expecting Sabine and Tom to be like all the other internâs parents.
He was not expecting to be verbally destroying by a tiny Asian woman.
He couldnât get a word in
Then he made a mistake. He continuly tries to argue with Sabine
But he somehow ended up buying all their pasteries
Marinette then shoots him an email. âYou done messed up. Never try to argue with my mom. She always wins. Give me a weeks warning before you come here, so this never happens again.â
Natasha
Natasha actually comes in like a normal person. She buys some food and tells Sabine she is there to commission something.
Sabine can tell that Natasha has emotional and mental scars, so she adopts her as a sister.
Natasha doesnât realize it but Sabine would make the worlds best spy.
Natasha doesnât know how this happened but on her birthday she gets a letter from the Dupain-Chengâs that said âto our adopted sister/aunt we love you and wish you nothing but the bestâ
Natasha then goes to peter and shows it to him.
âIs this what being adopted against you will is likeâ
Hey so Iâm back with more avengers meeting Sabine for the first time

âą Is very polite, a bit shy, and quiet. Sabine asks him if he would be her taste tester.

Wanda and Pietro
âąthey are adopted. Marinette now has another brother and a big sister!
âąNo this is not up for discussion.
âąTom researches Slovakian recipes.
âąThe twins are suspicious. They donât know how to act. Especially when Pietro makes a snarky comment and Marinette snarks back earning both a smack on the hand from Sabine.
Damian had just crossed the threshold of the bakery with Luka when his phone started to ring in his pocket.
âAh, thatâs probably your dad.â Luka told him, removing his arm from around Damian (Damian had entirely forgotten it was there-) and giving him some space to take the call.
A glance at caller ID proved Luka to be right, his fatherâs contact proudly on display.
Damian glanced suspiciously at Luka, slowly answering the call as Luka grinned at him.
âHello?â
âDamian! Where are you?â Bruce asked quickly.
Damian could hear his siblings in the background. It would seem everyone else had already found each other.
âThe Dupain-Cheng Bakery.â Luka mock whispered to him when Damian looked to him for an answer.
Damian was slightly surprised by himself, there was no reason for him to have followed Luka so blindly. It was concerning.
âIâm at the Dupain-Cheng Bakery, why?â Damian replied, watching as Luka walked away to greet the woman behind the counter.
âWe are on our way.â Bruce said, hanging up the phone immediately after.
Damian blinked, shaking his head before putting his phone away.
He felt strange.
Mildly delirious maybe? He felt distant and present all at once. It was a strange feeling.
âDamian!â Luka called out snagging his attention.
Damian looked up, spotting Luka waving at him from a set of stairs.
âCome on, Marinetteâs up here.â He said, waiting for Damian to join him before he continued up the stairs.
They ascended the stairs together, Damian blindly following Luka as he tried to decipher his inner turmoil.
Luka knocked on the ceiling, pulling Damian from his musings as he did so.
Damian looked at him, wondering when they had begun ascending a second set of stairs. He was also surprised to find Lukaâs hand on his back.
He hadnât noticed him put it there.
The ceiling opened up to reveal Marinette standing above them. She smiled when she saw them, opening the trapdoor up the rest of the way and letting them both in.
âYou okay, Damian?â Marinette asked, walking further into her room and sitting on her chaise.
Damian pursed his lips, letting Luka guide him as he tried to find an accurate answer.
âIâm⊠not sure.â He decided on.
Marinette tilted her head, moving closer to him and gently reaching out to touch his arm.
She seemed to be looking for something in his reaction and whatever it was, she seemed to find it.
âI think I know whatâs wrong. You feel kind of floaty, right?â She asked, tugging him towards a set of stairs in her room.
Damian nodded, letting her pull him along.
She had him take off his shoes before ascending the stairs.
Luka did the same, climbing the stairs before them and collapsing on the bed.
Marinette ushered Damian up in front up her, telling him to lay down and laying down beside him.
âNo one has a name for it yet, but its basically Parisâs special version of shellshock.â Marinette told him, her head resting against his shoulder.
âThe Cure takes the anxiety, panic, and general distress from it but our bodies and minds still need to process what we went through. It leaves you feeling kind of floaty and distant, but at the same time youâre too present. It can be pretty overwhelming. Especially if itâs your first time experiencing it.â Luka continued, he scooted closer to them, laying shoulder to shoulder with Damian as he stared up at the ceiling.
âAnd this helps?â Damian asked.
He could feel it helping some, it was grounding, calming,
But it wasnât quite enough.
âYeah, it works best for us at least. Physical contact and pressure help a lot for us.â Luka told him.
âWe would normally be a lot closer than this, but we donât want to make you uncomfortable. Not everyone likes physical contact.â Marinette said, rolling onto her side to look at him.
Damian hummed, pressing his lips together as he thought about it.
He was very picky when it came to physical contact. Everyone who knew him knew that.
He had already been in physical contact with Marinette several times, including now. It didnât feel bad when he was touching her, it felt more like touching Jon or Dick than it did touching a stranger.
And Luka, well, Luka had been in almost constant physical contact with him since they first met. He didnât feel bad either.
Honestly, Damian noticed more when Luka wasnât touching him than when he was. It was strange.
âYeah, Lukaâs just like that. I just try not to think about it.â Marinette said.
Damian turned to look at her, concerned that he may have been speaking out loud.
âOh, you didnât say anything.â She reassured him. âI just recognized the look on your face. Everyone has that look when thinking about Luka.â
Damian decided not to dwell on that.
âI think, Iâll be fine with more contact.â Damian said hesitantly, not sure what exactly it would entail but not against finding out.
Luka was the first to move, propping himself up against some pillows before opening his arms up wide.
âCome here.â He said encouragingly.
Marinette nudged him, grabbing a blanket as she scooted them over to Luka.
She had him lay down first, directly on top of Luka before she laid down on top of Damian.
She covered them with a blanket before settling in, wrapping her arms around Damianâs middle as Luka encircled them both.
It was strange. Not bad, but strange.
He was surrounded by pressure on all sides and very warm.
He imagined that a heated, weighted blanket might have the same effect.
It was kind of nice he decided, letting himself relax against them.
It was strange, Damian thought. To blink and suddenly hear birds chirping outside.
When he had closed his eyes, the sun had just begun to set. Now it was shining brilliantly from Marinetteâs skylight directly into his face.
Marinette groaned, pulling the blanket up to cover her face as the sun tried to blind her as well.
âWhat time is it?â Luka asked from behind Damian, his voice gruff with sleep.
Damian fumbled around in his pockets, trying to find his phone as he shielded his eyes with one hand.
âIts 8.â He responded, squinting at his screen.
âIn the morning?â Came Marinetteâs muffled question.
âYeah.â
âItâs too early.â Marinette groaned loudly.
âReally?â Damian asked with a yawn. âIâm usually up by 5.â
âAround 7 for me.â Luka chimed in, his forehead resting against Damianâs shoulder.
âThat sounds awful. Why do you do that to yourselves?â Marinette gripped from under her blanket fortress.
Damian sighed, rubbing his eyes and trying to sit up.
âNoooooo.â Marinette complained, refusing to get up.
Luka chuckled, releasing Damian and peering down at Marinette from over his shoulder.
âLet him get up, Mari.â He told her, reaching around to softly poke her.
Marinette reached out, grabbing his hand and not budging an inch past that.
âJust go back to sleep.â She tried to convince them.
Honestly, Damian was tempted by the offer. He couldnât remember the last time he had slept that well and would not mind doing it again.
He needed to call his father though.
He was honestly surprised his family hadnât blown up his phone with messages and calls last night,
âI need to call my father.â He told her.
Marinette huffed a sigh, lazily sitting up to glare at him sleepily before rolling off of him and curling up in a ball around a pillow.
âMorning people.â She huffed like a curse.
Damian climbed off of Luka carefully, taking a mental inventory as he did so.
He was sore, probably from staying in one position or too long. His arms were covered in red marks, and he felt sweaty.
Damian stretched, looking over at Luka as he did.
âAre you okay? I didnât mean to fall asleep on you.â He said, taking in the red marks covering his arms, the small part of his chest Damian could see, part of his neck, and one of his cheeks.
Basically everywhere Damian and Marinette were laying on him.
âiâm fine, my legs are tingling but thatâs normal. Did you sleep well?â He asked.
Damian nodded, running a hand through his hair as he unlocked his phone.
His throat was sore too, he needed some water.
The trapdoor to Marinetteâs room opened, an older woman walking through and smiling at Damian and Luka as they turned to look at her.
âOh good, youâre awake.â She said, glancing at the blanket mound that was Marinette. âMost of you are awake.â She corrected.
âBreakfast is waiting for you downstairs, oh, and Damian.â She said, singling him out. âYour dad with be here to get you at noon.â She said, before turning and walking back down the stairs.
Damian stared after her, wondering how she knew his name when movement from behind him drew his attention.
Luka had leaned over and was gently shaking Marinetteâs shoulder in an attempt to wake her up.
âCome on, breakfast is already downstairs.â He told her, trying to coax her from her cocoon.
âLeave me aloneeee.â She whined.
Noon came a lot sooner than Damian had thought it would and soon his family was waiting for him downstairs with John Constantine, ready to send them back to Gotham.
Marinetteâs parents had been surprisingly nice that whole morning.
Apparently, Mrs. Cheng had seen the look on Damianâs face and figured they were going to nap upstairs.
When Damianâs family came looking for him, she had explained on his behalf and said he was more than welcome to spend the night.
Damian had been both grateful and mildly embarrassed by the situation but had ultimately decided not to dwell on it for too long.
âIt was lovely meeting you, Damian.â Mrs. Cheng said, giving him a hug goodbye.
âMake sure you come back to Paris sometime.â Mr. Dupain said, patting Damian on the back.
âIâll try.â Damian replied, stepping away to stand with Marinette and Luka as his father started talking with Mr. and Mrs. Dupain-Cheng.
âWell, you helped me with my problem here in Paris. Maybe Iâll come help you out in Gotham.â Marinette told him, nudging him in the side.
Damian smirked, glancing down at her.
âMaybe, Gotham is an entirely different breed of crazy though. You sure youâd be able to handle it?â He asked.
Luka laughed, leaning against a wall while he watched them.
Marinette glared at him in response.
âDonât do that, itâs just as bad when Alix does it and I donât want you to start.â She said.
Lukaâs grin grew in response.
âi didnât say anything-â
âBut you know something-â Marinette cut him off.
âDamian! You ready to go?â Dick called out, standing in front of the portal Constantine had summoned.
Luka stood up, planting his hand on Damianâs shoulder with a wink and a cryptic âWeâll see you soon.â before he walked away.
Marinette quickly said her goodbyes, telling Damian she hoped to see him soon before chasing after Luka to scold him for being a cryptid and not tell her what he knew.
Damian shook his head, walking over to join his family at the portal.
âSo.â Dick started, slinging his arm around Damianâs shoulder. âA two for one deal?â
Damianâs following protest was cut off as they stepped through the portal.
Marinette didnât look back when people rushed past her, didnât pay them any mind as they took Gabriel into custody.
She tuned out his screams of protest to focus on the cheers.
It was over, Hawkmoth couldnât hurt them anymore.
Marinette stumbled slightly, dropping her sword with a clang as her head spun.
Hands were on her immediately, holding her upright and letting her lean on them.
âWeâve got you, youâre okay.â
The voice was familiar. Marinette could tell that much past the ringing in her ears.
âPiĂĄo ChĂłng! Use the Cure!â
That voice was familiar too.
They were both comforting to hear.
âI feel like shit.â Marinette told them, leaning heavily into the hands.
Marinette felt a pair of arms wrap around her, placing most of her weight on them as a second pair of hands rubbed her back.
âWeâre sure you do,â A voice that Marinette dimly realized was Lukaâs said. âHold still, here comes the cure.â
Marinette groaned; the Cure felt weird. Especially if it was a bad wound.
Chat noir had once compared it to those little fish that eat dead skin at salons.
It hadnât made her feel much better.
A whooshing filled her ears and hundreds of little ladybugs covered Marinette from head to toe, mainly focusing on her arm and chest.
âThis is strange.â The one holding her up said.
Marinette looked at him, finally realizing it was Damian who was holding her up. She had accurately guessed Luka, or rather Viperion , was the one rubbing her back, but she was surprised by Damianâs presence.
The ladybugâs disappeared, everyoneâs injuries were healed, and buildings were put back together. Everything was returned to how it should be.
And yet there stood Damian.
For some reason, the Cure hadnât sent him back to Gotham like it should have.
Damian had loosened his hold on Marinette, looking around them in awe as everything had returned back to normal.
âWhy are you still here?â Marinette asked, bringing his attention back to her.
âWhat?â He asked.
âWhy are you still here?â She asked again, tapping on his arm to let him know she could stand on her own.
Damian took a step back from her, a confused expression on his face.
âWhy wouldnât I be?â He asked confused.
Viperion stepped in, his bracelet beeping angrily at him as he spoke to them.
âThe Cure should have sent you back home if the akuma brought you here. I have to go detransform, wait right here, Iâll be right back.â Viperion said before taking off.
Marinette turned, calling for him to wait but he had already disappeared around a corner.
âSoâŠâ Damian said, turning Marinetteâs attention back to him. âIf the akuma had brought me here I would have been sent back already?â He asked.
âYes, which is why I donât get why youâre still here . You should be home by now.â Marinette told him frustrated.
Damian nodded, now making the connection.
âThe akuma didnât bring me.â He said simply.
Marinette stared blankly at him.
âWhat do you mean the akuma didnât bring you here?â
âThe akuma didnât bring me, my father paid John Constantine to bring us.â
â Who ?â
âHeâs a magic user.â
Marinette was still staring at Damian in confusion, wondering how he just knew a magic user when Luka ran back up to them.
He wasnât in the mask this time.
âOkay, Iâm back.â He said, jogging up to them.
Marinette ran at him, covering his face with her hands and shouting for Damian to look away.
âAre you crazy? Now he knows who you are!â She hissed at Luka.
Luka smiled, grabbing her hands and pulling them away from his face.
âItâs fine, M-M-Marinette. I already told him.â
Marinette didnât even feel bothered by his teasing too focused on the fact that he had revealed his identity so easily.
âWhy?â She asked.
Luka waved Damian closer to them, tossing his arm around his shoulders and pulling him closer.
âHe was supposed to know, trust me.â He said in that cryptic way Marinette couldnât stand.
âI hate it when you do that.â Marinette gripped, letting Luka tug her closer to himself.
âI know. Should we go to the bakery?â He asked, starting to walk in the general direction of Marinetteâs home.
âWhy? Do you want to get a snack?â Marinette asked, first she looked to Luka and then Damian, making sure he knew the question was for the both of them.
Damian shook his head no as Luka continued steering them to Marinetteâs house.
âI figured you might want to change.â He said with a glance down at her outfit.
Confused, Marinette looked down at her outfit, wondering what could be wrong.
She was still in her pajamas.
âWhy didnât you say something-?!â She screeched, sprinting towards her house.
She did not need another âpajama girlâ incident.
Mari is still kicking ass but its in the background.
A couple punches and scratches are all that's really in this one. I decided to save the outside pov for something else lol
Also, Lukadaminette is here! (It wasn'/t supposed to be but Luka grabbed me by the shoulder and said "Put Me In Coach" So he's here now :D)
Damian stared at the strange man Marinette had called Hawkmoth, watching as people hesitated the closer he got.
He turned to Marinette, wanting to follow her lead only to be surprised at the look on her face.
There was a fire in her eyes, it burned with a rage so intense Damian was surprised the man she was glaring at hadnât burst into flames yet.
The rest of her face gave nothing away. She looked carved from stone, unyielding in her cold expression.
She didnât smile, didnât frown, didnât snarl like Damian was half expecting her to do.
It made him nervous.
Damian looked around, hoping to see someone else who noticed the expression on her face only to see everyone else staring at the same man.
Damian moved to turn back to Marinette, hoping to shake her out of her trance when she burst forward.
She rushed the man, her fist smashing into his nose before he even registered her presence.
Her sudden movement seemed to have break the seal that held everyone, gasps and shouts rose up around him.
Some people screamed to help her while others told them not to interfere.
Damian took a step forward, intent on helping her when a solid hand planted itself on his chest, halting his movements.
âDonât,â A man in teal said. âIt needs to be her. It has to end with her.â
He wasnât looking at Damian, staring at the fight like he could see something Damian couldât.
âWhat are you talking about?â Damian hissed, intent on ripping his hand away.
The man turned back to him, putting his hands on his shoulders and staring him intently in the eyes.
âListen to me, this fight is tied to her. The miraculous wrap around her the same way your battle wraps around you. Just as we cannot interfere in your fight, you canât interfere in this one.â
Damian blinked, a chill running up his spine as he listened.
âWhat battle am I fighting?â He whispered.
The man stared at him, patting Damianâs shoulder before releasing him.
âI think we both know the answer to that,â He leaned closer, whispering directly in Damianâs ear. âYour mask isnât hidden from me, Robin.â
Damianâs eyes went wide, and he had to fight not to shove the man away from him.
âDonât worry, you didnât give anything away. Iâm a soothsayer, granted Iâm on a higher level than the others because of my miraculous. I can see the mask painted across your face.â He said with a smile.
Damian opened his mouth to speak, intent on asking more questions when he was cut off.
âDonât, this is far from the last time weâll meet. You can question me later.â The man said, turning to focus on the fight.
For once, Damian bit his tongue. For some reason, the way he spoke reminded Damian of Alfred. They both seemed like they knew things they couldnât possibly know.
Damian had learned better than to question Alfred. He turned his attention back to the fight instead of demanding the answers he wanted.
Marinette had Hawkmoth by the throat, her hand was almost a blur as she repeatedly punched him in the face.
Blood was speckled across her face, it coated her fist and stained the top of her dress as she wailed on the man.
The man was thrashing in her hold, trying to get away from her as she relentlessly beat him.
He shifted his grip on what looked like a cane.
Damian went to call out a warning when the man held up a hand.
âShe canât hear you.â
The cane slammed into her stomach, ripping her away from Hawkmoth and sending her flying clear into a building.
There were claw marks on Hawkmoths neck, blood starting to drip down from the wounds Marinette had left.
Damian winced, glancing between the fight and the man next to him.
âAre you sure?â He asked anxiously.
âYes, we couldnât help even if we tried. We would just make it harder for her, she needs to keep her focus on him and him alone.â The man said, placing his on Damianâs shoulder reassuringly.
Damian turned back to the fight, watching as Marinette got hit in the face by the cane.
He winced in sympathy; Penguin had done the same with his umbrella. Damian knew it hurt.
Marinetteâs stone expression didnât flinch, she flowed with the movement. She swung her leg around, clipping Hawkmoth in the jaw and smashing something against his head as she came back up. Damian hadnât even seen her grab anything.
It was a good move, if she remembered how she did it he would have to ask her to show him.
âItâs Luka by the way.â The man said, he looked a mix between proud and worried as he stared at Marinette.
âWhat?â Damian asked, barely sparing the man a glance before he turned back to Marinette.
âMy name. I know your secret identity, it only felt fair to tell you mine.â Luka said.
Damian pursed his lips, listening to the people watching cheer as Marinette threw a rock and hit the back of Hawkmothâs knee.
âWhich Miracle Warrior are you?â Damian asked, wincing as Hawkmoth started shouting profanities.
âThe snake.â Luka replied.
Things started connecting for Damian. He was Viperion, and apparently, he had been the first Soothsayer. He might be similar to Duke, seeing things before they actually happen.
Damian tried to relax; he was in an unfamiliar situation, but he was with people who were familiar with it.
He didnât like the fact that he knew Damianâs identity but at least he had offered his in return. The entire situation was awful but there was nothing he could do about it right now. It was best not to focus too much on it.
Viperion wasnât Marinette, but he would try to follow his lead too.
Damian turned his full attention on the fight, he couldnât help, but he could try to help her once it was over.
Marinette was on Hawkmoth like a wild animal, scratching and hitting him all over.
Hawkmoth kicked her away but it didnât seem to faze her, she just kept coming.
This entire chapter is very gory and bloody and violent so if you aren't okay with that don't read it. I'll post the gist of what happened here so you don't need to.
SPOILERS:
Marinette attacks Hawkmoth like a rabid animal, he fights back, she beats him (I would go into detail but again, very gory) she takes the miraculous from him and says all the shit he has done to the people of Paris before telling him that she won't give him the mercy of death and leaving him to the people of Paris
Marinetteâs blood roared in her ears, her heart pounding against her ribcage as her vision narrowed in on him.
Hawkmoth.
He was the cause of all her problems, the cause of an entire cityâs suffering.
She could hear people crying begging for someone to save them, children screaming in fear from the monsters that chased them down the streets and stole their families from them.
She could see the blood coating the streets, the buildings crumbling as people tried in vain to brace for cover.
She saw people getting crushed beneath buildings, saw people drown, burn, suffocate, turn into mindless monsters.
She saw it every time she closed her eyes.
Could hear it in the silence.
Could feel it in the calm of her room.
She lived it over and over again in the few precious moments in peace.
She had seen it all, had heard the cries and groans of Paris, had felt their tears and desperation as they tried to survive.
She had born witness to it all.
And there he stood.
The bastard who had caused it all.
The monster who had killed her, over and over again. In more ways than should be possible.
He had the audacity to place himself before her.
He held the misguided belief that he would leave her presence still standing.
Rage boiled her blood, flooding her veins and filling her lungs.
Marinette watched the blood splatter across his face as her fist connected with his nose.
She grabbed him by the throat, letting her heartbeat set her fistâs rhythm.
Something smashed her in the gut, ripping her away from him and slamming her back into a building.
She was back up before the movement could even register.
Marinette sprinted towards him, blinding rage dulling everything around her as she closed in on her target.
He swung his cane, catching her across the cheek and making her stumble.
She followed the motion, swinging her leg around to kick him in the stomach as she grabbed half a broken brick.
Marinette smashed the brick against his head as she came back around, could feel it crumble against her hand as blood started to trickle down his temple.
He kicked her away, turning to run as she fell.
Marinette didnât let him, lobbing a rock at the back of his knee as she scrambled to stand.
It hurt, everything hurt but she didnât care.
He needed to be punished.
She needed to be the one to punish him.
Paris was her city. These were her people he was hurting.
This was personal.
Hawkmoth scrambled away, trying to run with a limp as Marinette closed in on him.
He looked like he was screaming, Marinette couldnât hear what he was saying.
She rushed him, drawing her nails down his face and leaving behind angry red marks.
He kicked her back but she didnât fall this time, she stumbled and lunged again.
He grabbed his cane, ripping off the sheath to reveal the sword hidden inside.
Hawkmoth swung his sword towards her blindly, slashing at her in an attempt to keep her at bay.
It slashed her arm, cutting deep enough to make blood run down her arm but it still wasnât enough.
She was going to get her revenge, one way or another.
He could not escape her.
Marinette dodged another swing, taking a step back to move out of the way.
She wasnât sure what she stepped on but it buckled under her weight.
Marinette stumbled, she was quick to correct herself but Hawkmoth seized the opportunity.
He swung his sword down, slashing her across the chest and planting his foot in her chest.
He booted her away, sending her flying back against something hard.
Marinette gasped on impact, stars filling her eyes as her head rocked back against the stone.
The roaring in her ears was replaced with a shrill ringing as she tried to regain her bearings.
Marinette moved to stand, bracing herself from the pain as she tried to move.
He kicked her again, shoving her back against the bolder she had hit while grinning manically.
Marinette snarled, trying to hit him again but he kicked her arm away.
Pain shot up her arm from the kick and between the fracture and the deep gash, she was pretty sure that arm was useless now.
Marinette hissed in pain, trying to get away from him.
The momentum she had been fighting with was gone, the adrenalin starting to wear off and be replaced with pain.
She wasnât in fighting shape and they both knew it.
Something glared, reflecting in the sun and blinding her for a moment.
Marinette glanced over, trying to see what it was just in time for Hawkmoth to plunge his sword into her chest.
Marinette gasped, staring at the shining metal protruding from her chest as Hawkmoth stood over her.
He was grinning like a mad man.
His stupid bald cap had been ripped apart by Marinette, his hair protruding around his head in jagged spikes from where she had pulled on it. There were bald spots from where she had ripped it out.
He was covered in blood, his nose at an odd angle and a few of his teeth seemed to be broken.
He looked like shit.
âYou stupid little freak!â
Marinette blinked, zeroing in on him.
âWhy wonât you just die already!â He screamed.
His chest was heaving, bloody spittle flying from his lips as he screeched.
âYOU CANNOT DISOBEY ME; I AM A GOD LITTLE GIRL.â He screamed at her.
Marinette blinked, staring blankly at Hawkmoth before rolling her head to the side.
Marinette looked around her, struggling to breathe with the sword sticking out of her chest and the grown man hysterically screaming in her face.
There was a sword, barely sticking out of the bolder above her.
Marinette grinned, her bloody teeth on full display.
Hawkmoth didnât like that. He grabbed her face, forcing her to look at him while he screamed at her.
Marinette couldnât hear him, she didnât care to.
Her momentum was gone. Her adrenalin had faded.
Her rage remained.
Marinette bit Hawkmoth, sinking her teeth into his hand and refusing to let go.
Hawkmoth screeched, yanking his hand back and ripping a chunk of flesh away with the action.
Marinette reached her hand up, feeling for the sword in the stone as she spit out his skin.
She never broke eye contact with him, slowly pulling his sword out of her chest as she forced herself up.
Blood dribbled from her mouth as she stumbled to her feet.
Marinette stared Hawkmoth in the eyes as she pulled the sword out of the stone, the metal scraping harshly as it jerked free.
Hawkmoth flinched, taking a step back as Marinette threw his sword at his feet.
It clattered to the ground loudly, her blood glistening in the sun as it dripped off the metal and onto the ground.
âPick it up.â She said coldly.
Hawkmoth looked at her, then his sword.
There was a slight tremor in his hands as he stared at her.
The manic look his eyes had held before had been replaced, fear now coated his eyes with a shiny gloss.
Marinette took a stumbling step towards him, a snarling grin covering her face.
âPick it up.â She said again.
Hawkmoth shook his head, stumbling back as he clutched his bloody hand to his chest.
Marinette swayed slightly, eyes locked on Hawkmoth as he refused the mercy she offered him.
âMâkay.â She said cheerily.
Marinette swayed precariously, falling forward before she caught herself.
She used the move to burst into a sprint, gripping her new weapon with her only good hand and bloodlust written on her face.
Marinette swung her sword in an arc, aim directly for his throat.
Hawkmoth stumbled back, tripping over the rubble and scrambling backwards as Marinette swung at him.
She slashed her sword through the air over and over again, each time just barely missing him.
Letting him think he was dodging her attacks as she corralled him into a corner.
It was only when his back hit the wall that he realized what she was doing.
Marinette smiled sweetly, standing over him as he shook in fear below her.
Marinette reared back, pointing her sword down and stabbing him in the leg.
Hawkmoth screamed, his hands moving to hold the injured leg.
âDoes it hurt?â Marinette ask innocently, putting more of her weight on the sword.
Hawkmoth blubbered, tears rolling off his mask as Marinette roughly jerked her weapon from his leg.
Hawkmothâs hands covered the area, trying to cover the bleeding wound with shaking hands.
Marinette tutted, squatting down in front of him with a concerned look on her face.
âItâs not that bad, is it?â Marinette said curiously.
Marinette stabbed her sword back into his other leg.
âI mean, it canât be that bad. You did this to so many other people, itâs almost like this hurts.â She said, slowly twisting the sword back and forth.
âYouâre fucking crazy-!â Hawkmoth screech, gasping as Marinette twisted the sword.
Marinette laughed, slowly dragging her sword out of his leg.
Marinette tossed her sword aside, gripping Hawkmothâs face and forcing him to look her in the eyes as she spoke.
âWhat was it you said earlier?â She asked, tilting her head. âSomething about you being a god?â
Marinetteâs smile dropped as she stared at him, the humor bleeding out of her voice.
âYouâre no god. Youâre just a man playing make believe.â She said, roughly pushing his face to the side.
Marinette reached down towards his throat , she watching him flinch as her fingers brush against his neck.
Watched as his eyes turned wide as the magic hiding his identity faded away.
Marinette stood up, clutching both miraculous in her hand as she stared at the bastard who had stolen her life from her.
âGabriel Agreste. You have committed atrocious crimes against the people of Paris. You slaughtered millions, several times over. You have separated families, ruined lives, stolen childhoods. You have subjected the people of this city to suffering that will not end with you.â
âYou have drowned us. Burned us alive. We have been impaled, crushed, buried alive and turned against each other by your mind control. You have turned innocent people into puppets for your selfish purpose against their will and so much more.â
âEven after you are gone, the memories will haunt us. The phantom scars will coat our bodies and nightmares will haunt our dreams. There is no atonement for you. You tested my patience, tried my good will and crushed my heart. You will see no mercy from me.â
âI stand before you as your judge, as your jury, but not your executioner. You will not meet the grace of death by my hand.â
Marinette stood, glaring Gabriel down as he trembled before her.
She could almost laugh.
A man this weak had thought to call himself a god.
What a joke.
Marinette pinned the miraculous to her dress, grabbing the handle of her sword and dragging it behind her as she walked away.
He couldnât run, even if he tried to.
Marinette had made sure of it.
He was surrounded, unable to stand let alone walk.
And she had the miraculous, he couldnât hurt anyone anymore.
Marinette scooched forward, precariously dangling Infront of Fangâs massive eye.
For some reason, he was much bigger this time around.
It was a little intimidating.
Marinette just hoped he hadnât been hit twice, that would ruin her entire plan.
âHey Fang! Are you still a good boy?!â She shouted, hoping he would hear her.
Fangâs eye locked on her, which was honestly rather creepy but she decided to ignore it.
âAre you a good boy, Fang?â She cooed.
Fang roared, turning his body and flying them slightly to the right.
Marinette looked up, watching Damian stumble slightly before he regained his footing from the sudden shift in direction.
âWhoâs a good boy?â She called.
Fang roared again, trying to come closer to her but only effectively making them turn further to the right.
Marinette let out a sigh of relief, patting the bridge of Fangâs nose.
âOh thank goodness, I wasnât sure you were still you.â She told him.
âWhat do you mean you werenât sure?!â Damian shouted down at her.
â⊠Yâknow it turned out fine, so I donât feel like it really matters-â
âMarinette.â He said exasperatedly.
Marinette was sure that he wasnât holding onto her rope he would have face palmed.
âOkay Fang, are you a good boy?! Are you going to let us ride you into battle?!â Marinette called, trying to rile him up.
Fang roared again, his body trembling from the force of it.
Marinette was quick to cover her ears, pitying Damian as he steadfastly held the rope instead of covering his own.
âCarapace! Whereâs the fight? Has it moved?â Marinette asked into her comm, trying to spot them from her place on Fang.
âStill here, where the Louvre used to be. Trying to keep the akuma contained but weâre getting a bit tired.â Carapace answered, his voice crackling through the comm.
Marinette nodded, looking out from her vantage point to get her bearings.
âHold on Damian, weâre moving!â She called out, looking up to him for confirmation that heâd heard her.
âOkay Fang, left! Go left!â Marinette ordered, pointing to her left.
Fang roared, slowly turning his massive body the direction she was pointing.
âAll troops retreat from the 1st Arrondissement! I repeat, All troops retreat from the 1st Arrondissement!â Marinette called into her comm as the fight came into view.
They werenât exactly there yet, but with the speed they were moving it wouldnât be long. Hopefully it would give everyone enough time to get out of there.
âHold on to something Damian!â Marinette called, watching as everyone scattered out of the way, giving her a clear shot at the akuma.
âFang, down!â Marinette shouted, pointing straight at the akuma.
Fang roared, drawing the attention of the akuma but not giving them enough time to get out of range.
Damian jerked on the rope, hauling Marinette up and out of the way as the akuma ended up plastered to Fangâs massive snout.
Damian pulled Marinette up beside him, grabbing her arm and sprinting towards Fangs tail as he continued his descent down and into the last remains of a building.
Fangâs collision with the rubble sent shockwaves throughout the area, shaking the ground as if it were a small earthquake.
Marinette slipped, starting to slide down the side of Fangâs back.
She would be crushed underneath him if she didnât make it away in time.
Damian grabbed her arm roughly, barely catching her as she lost contact with Fangâs scales.
Marinetteâs arm screamed in pain as Damian caught her, a sickening pop worsening the pain.
Marinette grit her teeth, trying not to scream as her arm and shoulder lit on fire from the pain.
Damian pulled her up beside him, shifting his grip on her to pin her between himself and the horn he was hanging onto.
âYou okay?!â He shouted over the cacophony of chaos surrounding them.
âYep.â Marinette grit out, peeking over his shoulder as the ground grew closer.
Damian was panting, his chest heaving as he fought to keep them from getting crushed. Both by Fang and the numerous buildings that had given out because of the earthquake.
Fang stopped moving, a soft rumble coming from him as he laid down on the ground.
Damian didnât move, waiting until the crumbling buildings and quaking earth had settled before even attempting to get down.
âYou are covered in sweat and dirt.â Marinette told him, trying to keep his mind off the strain of keeping them both safe.
Damian laughed, readjusting his grip as everything slowly stopped shaking.
âYeah well, youâve had a stick in your hair and a dirt streak across your nose for the better part of an hour.â Damian told her, resting his forehead against her good shoulder as he took deep, steady breaths.
Marinette snorted, reaching her good arm around to pat his back as everything came to still.
âThanks for letting me know,â She said sarcastically. âI think weâre good to get down now.â
âAnd how do we do that?â He asked, his arms starting to tremble from the strain.
âWe slide. Turn and try to lay down on three, okay?â She told him.
Damian nodded, his breaths rustling her hair as he leaned back.
Marinette turned her head slightly, spotting the small ledge he had been using to keep them up.
It was a miracle they hadnât fallen yet, Marinette wondered just how strong his grip strength was.
âOkay, 1.â
She flattened her back against Fangâs side, pressing as closely as she could.
â2.â
She cradled her injured arm close to herself.
â3!â
Damian flipped onto his back, releasing Marinette out from under him and letting go of the ledge in one fluid motion.
Damian slid down next to her, their clothes catching and releasing on Fangâs scales over and over again.
It slowed their decent but scratched at their skin, leaving little cuts and scrapes along their path.
Just before they reached the ground Fang shifted, accidentally bucking them off and sending them tumbling onto the ground.
Marinette couldnât hold back her scream as her bad arm made contact with the ground.
Pain shot up her body in harsh waves, leaving her gasping.
There was another pop, quickly followed by an equally sickening crack as she crashed against a rock.
âMarinette!â Damian shouted.
He had recovered faster than her, having been able to catch himself and fall into a roll where Marinetteâs arm had given out on her.
He rushed over to her, helping her sit up as she groaned in pain.
âWhat happened?â He asked, looking her over.
âShoulder, arm.â She ground out, leaning against him.
Damian reached over, his hands fluttering around her shoulder and moving down to her arm.
Her shoulder was incredibly sore, it didnât hurt nearly as bad as it had when it had popped the first time but it still hurt.
The main problem was her arm, she hadnât brought herself to look at it yet, but she was fairly certain it was broken.
âI think you might have dislocated your shoulder early, but it seems to have set itself back in place when we fell. Not well but its in place.â He told her gently. âDoes this hurt-?â Damian asked, gently fluttering his fingers just around a large bruise that was beginning to form.
Marinetteâs sharp hiss of pain seemed to answer for her.
âSorry,â He told her earnestly. âI think you might have fractured your arm.â
Marinette groaned, tiling her head back as she regained her bearings.
âOf course I did. Come on, this is almost over anyways. Iâll be good as new when the akuma is purified.â She told him.
Damian helped her stand, staying near her as they moved towards Fangâs head.
âFang, off.â Marinette told him, waving him away with her good hand.
Fang, being the excellent boy that he is, listened to her obediently, slowly standing and backing up just far enough to reveal the unconscious akuma underneath.
âHow did that not break the item?!â Carapace shouted.
Marinette looked over, spotting him pop his head up from a crack between the rubble.
He pushed some of the concrete aside, walking out into the open followed by the rest of the Miracle Warriors who had been present for the fight, as well as a few civilians who hadnât made it out in time.
âShel-?â
âShelter.â He answered, coming over to stand next to her.
Everyone came out of hiding, crowding around the akuma as several people started breaking various items the akuma had on her.
âAre you two okay?â PiĂĄo ChĂłng asked, coming over to examine first Marinette and then Damian.
Marinette waved her off, smiling at her as the older woman fussed over them.
âWeâre fine-â
âShe fractured her arm.â Damian snitched.
âWeâre mostly fine.â Marinette corrected with a glare pointed towards Damian.
PiĂĄo ChĂłng sighed, moving over to look at Marinetteâs arm.
âWhat am I going to do with you?â She sighed.
Marinette laughed, trying not to cringe away as PiĂĄo ChĂłng poked and prodded at her arm.
âOh, right.â Marinette said, trying to rifle through the fabric of her dress with one hand.
It had pockets , which Marinette had discovered while they had been running.
Damian noticed her struggle, stepping forward to find the opening of the pocket and pull out the jar that was, somehow, still intact.
âHow did this not break?â He asked, holding up the jar with the amok still trapped inside.
âMagic fabric.â Marinette answered taking the jar from him. âStill hurt when I landed on it though.â
Marinette handed the jar to PiĂĄo ChĂłng watching as she cracked it open and released the amok.
PiĂĄo ChĂłng caught it quickly, purifying the little feather with soft, hushed words before releasing a small white feather instead.
It floated about, almost landing on Damian before he dodged it.
âDonât worry,â PiĂĄo ChĂłng told him, a hand on his shoulder. âIt canât hurt anyone like this.â
âSo, what happens now?â Damian asked.
âNow, we find the actual akuma, purify it, and reset all the damage. Itâll heal us both,â Marinette told him, nudging him softly. âDown to every last scratch.â
He smiled softly, opening his mouth to answer when Viperionâs shout cut him off.
âLook out-!â
Marinette turned, ducking just in time to dodge the brick that was thrown at her.
âYou! You stupid little girl!â
Damian glanced between them, taking in Marinetteâs face before turning back to the man.
âOkay, we are going to take this rope, tie it around our waists, and dangle ourselves in front of his eyes.â Marinette stated, already tying one end around herself.
Damian paused, glancing between the rope and Marinette.
âAnd why would we be doing that?â He asked.
Marinette paused, shooting him a look before resuming her tying.
âWell, Iâm pretty sure he only got hit once, which means heâs still Fang and not a dragon. Fang is a good boy, if he was only hit the once then he should recognize us and do what we want him to do.â Marinette told him, tightening her knot.
Damian nodded, looking between the dragon, the rope, and Marinette.
âAnd he would recognize us because?â He emphasized.
Marinette looked up at him, confusion written across her features as she tried to piece together what he meant.
All at once she seemed to realize what he meant, facepalming as her cheeks turned red.
âRight. We literally met today, okay, um⊠Hold the rope?â She suggested with a sheepish smile.
Damian laughed, walking over to her and making sure the first knot was secure.
âSure, but this is hardly going to do.â He told her, crouching down to properly secure her in a makeshift harness.
Marinette let him work, lifting her arms when he asked and generally staying still.
âThis feels a bit extra.â She told him, tugging the ropes into place.
âWe are who knows how many feet above the ground right now, I refuse to let you fall.â He said, tugging in various spots to make sure she wouldnât slip out.
âWeâre in France, we use the metric system.â She whispered.
Damian looked up at her, blank faced.
Marinette laughed, giggling to herself as Damian stood up.
âIâm going to throw you off this dragon.â He told her, walking over to Fangâs head.
Marinette followed him, snickering to herself the entire time.
âWell yes, thatâs sort of the whole plan.â She snarked.
Damian rolled his eyes, tying the other end or the rope to a nearby horn. It would at as a decent anchor for now.
Damian gave her the signal, letting her know it was safe to begin her decent.
Marinette nodded, scooting forward and slowly sliding down, right in front of Fangâs eye.
âOn it!â Damian shouted, cutting of Jasonâs question.
He ran forward, throwing whatever he could lift at the akuma, trying to get itâs focus on him.
Damian didnât know what she was planning to do, and as far as he could tell, it was none of his business.
She had given him his job, distract the akuma.
It was a simple job, one he could easily do.
Staying unharmed after gaining itâs attention was significantly more difficult.
Damian dodged left, narrowly avoiding running into Jason as he dodged the same direction.
Both boys looked at each other, nodding once before Damian thrust out his arm, gripping Jasonâs wrist as his brother swung him around.
Jason spun in circles, gaining momentum before launching Damian at the akuma.
Damian flew true, adjusting his grip on the frying pan. He came down on the man hard, swinging the pan at his head as he planted his feet in his chest.
The akuma went down quickly, gasping as Damian knocked the air out of him.
Damian rode him down, standing on the akumaâs chest until he hit the ground.
Damian barely heard a shout of âLeft!â before he was dodging to the left, narrowly avoiding the swooping net of miscellaneous wires, ropes, and pieces of clothing.
The net landed on the akuma, wrapping them up and trapping them.
Marinette swooped down, grabbing the gun from the akuma and handing it over to Chat Noir as he came out of the shadows.
Chat Noir bowed, dramatically accepting the gun and turning it to ash in his grip.
A little black feather flew out of the ashes, futtering about in the breeze when Marinette pounced on it.
She swept the feather up in a jar, tightening the lid so it couldnât escape.
Once the lid clicked into place, Marinette let out a deep sigh, slouching down as she pulled the jar to her chest.
âOne down, one to go.â She said, holding out her fist to the group.
Everyone had congregated together once the net had snapped in place, swarming the akuma just in case it tried to escape.
âIs something supposed to happen?â He asked, warry of what may come next.
âWell-â Marinette shrugged. âSort of? We need to get this to PiĂĄo ChĂłng so she can purify it and keep it from multiplying. After that, we need to get the akuma.â She informed him, giving Chat Noir instructions to keep the akuma from escaping.
âI thought that was the akuma?â Damian called, rushing to catch up with her as she started to run off.
âNo, normally, it would be, but this is a double akumatization.â She started, sparing him a glance as turned a corner.
âA double akumatization happens when two people are akumatized by the same butterfly, they have to be physically touching each other when it happens. This-â She said, holding up the jar. âIs an amok. In the same way Hawkmoth uses the Butterfly miraculous to possess people, he uses the Peacock miraculous to possess objects, turning them into something that can be used by or along side the akuma.â
She stuttered to a stop, Damian stopping just before he hit her as a group of medieval knights ran past.
âOkay, and can you explain what just happened back there? Iâm trying to follow your thought process, it might help me predict some of what happens next.â He asked her, checking to make sure the knights had their attention on something else before running out of the alleyway after her.
Marinette hummed, pointing up to a ladder.
âThatâs fair, Iâm not sure how much it will help though.â She started, climbing up the ladder to the rooftop.
Damian was hot on her heels, not wanting to miss what she had to say.
âI realized the akuma had a cool down on his gun after he shot Jason. He didnât fire again immediately so I started counting. The next time he fired was after 30 seconds, but just to make sure, I made sure it was a pattern and not a one-time thing.â She explained, grunting as she hauled herself up onto a rise on the roof.
âOnce I noticed that, I had to plan around it, and considering that the gun had a limitation to it and how it stood out from the rest of his outfit-â She accepted Damianâs outstretched hand to get over some rubble. âI assumed it was safe to bet that it held the akuma, well, I guess it held the amok, not the akuma.â
âThat-â Damian started, throwing his arms out to catch his balance as part of a crumbling roof dropped slightly under his weight. â-Makes sense, what about Chat Noir âdisappearingâ? What led to that decision?â
âWell, akumas are always after 2 things. PiĂĄo ChĂłng and Chat Noirâs miraculous, and their revenge.â She explained, hopping off a ledge to a lower building.
âOf those two things, PiĂĄo ChĂłng and Chatâs miraculous always take precedence. If he disappeared from the fight, the akuma would immediately start looking for him. And if he was distracted with you and Chat Noir, well-â
â-He would never see the trap coming.â Damian finished for her, coming to stand beside her just a few feet from a ledge.
âExactly.â She said with a grin, taking a few steps back from the ledge.
âNow, I want you to know that you donât have to follow me from here. I know that no completely sane person would feel comfortable jumping off a building and onto a dragonâs back.â She said sheepishly.
Damian moved back a few steps, prepping to launch himself off the building.
âWell, Iâve already come this far. Besides, I never claimed to be entirely sane.â He said, looking to her for to signal.
She laughed, turning to face the ledge.
âDonât say I never warned you.â She said, sparing him a glance.
âIâm sure I can handle it.â He returned.
âGo!â
Damian rushed forward, flying off the building alongside Marinette.
Marinette and Damian were crouched behind a wall together, peering out at Steph and Jason as they tried to get the akumaâs attention.
The theory was, that since Marinette had gained healing abilities after being hit, that whoever was hit would gain the abilities of a character in fictional media.
Thye hadnât figured out what Damian could do yet, but it wasnât exactly a priority at this point in time.
âRemember the plan, get hit once and get out.â Marinette whispered into her comm, peeking out over Damianâs shoulder as they tried to spot the akuma.
Jason gave her a thumbs up, walking around a corner in his search for the akuma.
A blast of light shot out, smacking him straight in the chest and knocking him to the ground.
Marinette could hear his wheeze over the comm and winced in sympathy, getting the wind knocked out of you was never fun.
Steph ran over to him, helping him sit up and get out of the way just as another shot went off.
Marinette narrowed her eyes at that, how the akuma didnât fire again immediately.
Marinette started counting, waiting for another shot to go off.
Steph got Jason out of the way, replacing him with herself and drawing the akumaâs attention as he made his way back to their hiding spot.
The akuma fired again, hitting Steph just as planned.
30 seconds after the first shot.
Steph ducked behind an overturned dumpster just as the akuma came around the corner, hiding just in time to not be spotted.
Jason slid up beside the two, ducking down so he was hidden by the rubble.
âSo? What do you think?â He asked, looking towards Marinette as she stared at the akuma.
âEverything went according to plan, do you feel any different?â She watching as the akuma started to randomly fire his gun in 30 second intervals.
Jason shook his head, turning back to watch the akuma too.
âNo, I donât. Iâm not sure it worked, I donât even look any different like Damian did.â He said, glancing down at his outfit.
Marinette hummed, bringing a hand to her comm to contact Steph.
âSteph, did it work?â She asked, trying to spot the other girl without giving away her cover.
Steph didnât answer for a few seconds, which worried Marinette.
When she did, her voice was small, sounding like she was far away.
âYes, I turned into Tinkerbell.â She answered, her voice tinkingly vaugly similar to bells.
Marinette turned to Damian, raising an eyebrow.
âDo you know who Tinkerbell is?â She asked, trying to figure out what that meant for the plan.
âSheâs a fairy.â Damian answered, sparing her a glance before going back to scoping out the area.
Marinette nodded, turing back to watch the akuma.
âOkay, hereâs whatâs going to happen. When I say go, hurry back to our hiding spot, you have 30 seconds to either make it here or to cover.â She said, watching the akumaâs every move.
Steph made a sound that sounded vaugly like an agreement so Marinette took it as such.
The akuma fired itâs gun, hitting and empty car and prompting Marinette to give the signal.
âGo!â
As shiny blurr shot out from behind the dumpster Steph had ducked behind, zipping straight for the group.
Steph made it to the group with time to spare, swooping down to hide with the rest before the akuma could notice her.
She was tiny now, her blond hair was tied up in a bun and she was wearing a small dress that seemed to be made out of purple leaves. She had tiny glowing wings on her back, making it so she could fly.
âOkay, where do we go from here?â She asked, flying over to Jason to sit on his shoulder.
Marinette shook off her surprise, turning back to survey the area.
Several things lit up for her immediately, a car, a frying pan, a broken jar, Jason, Steph, and Damian.
Marinette hummed, waving Jason a bit closer.
âHereâs what weâre going to do. Jason, Steph, I need you two to get a vehicle up and running for us, it doesnât matter what kind it is but we all need to be able to fit one way or another. Damian, youâre with me, we need to distract the akuma so Chat and get its gun away from it. Iâm pretty sure thatâs where the akuma is.â Marinette explained, looking at everyone.
âThe akuma has a 30 second cool down on its gun, use that to your advantage.â She ordered, poised to go.
The rest of the group nodded, getting in position to go.
Marinette held up and arm, waiting for the gun to fire again.
The second the shot went off she dropped her arm, bursting out from behind the wall with everyone else.
Marinette ran forward, sliding across the floor and scooping up the frying pan.
She was up and out of the way just as the shot hit the ground where she had been.
Marinette turned, tossing the pan to Damian as she braced her back against the car she had noticed earlier.
Marinette tried to think back, remembering what else she needed. They would break the akumaâs item so it couldnât attack them anyonre, but they needed some thing to capture the butterfly with first.
A shot flew just over her head, the glowing beam ricotchign off of a metal bowl before crashing into the concrete and disintrigrating.
Marinette looked around, noting that Damian had noticed the same thing she had and was already using the pan to redirect the akumaâs shots.
Cover secured, Marinette darted out from her hiding spot, searching for any and everything that might be able to keep the akuma contained until [Ladybug] could purify it.
There, the broken jar.
Marinette darted over to it, following the broken glass trail in the vauge direction of a collapsing building.
Marinette rushed inside, hoping to find something inside.
It was somebodyâs house, demolished entirly by the akuma attack with very little still intact.
Marinette rushed to the cabinets, openign every door and drawer as she ignored the sounds of fighting happening outside.
There was a box in one of the cabinets, most of the jars in it were smashed or cracked but there were a couple that were okay.
Marinette scooped up the jar, rushing back outside and searching for the akuma.
âWe need to get the gun! Chat, I need you to disappear, Pretty Boy, make yourself a nuisance!â She shouted into her comm, sprinting towards the battle.
âOkay, let me get this straight.â Jason started, subconsciously rubbing the bridge of his nose like Bruce sometimes did. âYou want to get from here, to really high up over there, and jump on that dragon; and youâre saying that is the plan?â
Jasonâs eye twitched a little as he started at Marinette.
âThat is the whole entire plan?â He asked again, probably hoping for a different answer.
Marinette gave another firm nod, a smile on her face as she glanced at everyone in the group.
Steph was turned around, facing away from the group as her shoulders shook with stifled laughter, Chat Noir had his head in his hands and was slowly taking deep breaths, and Damian was standing beside him, nodding along with what Marinette was saying.
âThat is not a plan!â Jason exploded, throwing his arms out to his sides.
âYes it is.â Marinette scoffed, crossing her arms over her chest as she glared at Jason.
âNo! That is not a plan, itâs a vague idea of how you want to get from point A to point B!â Jason exclaimed, trying to get her to see reason.
âIts how I plan to get from point A to point B.â She replied smugly, leaning in ever so slightly to drive the point home.
Jason threw his hands up, turning to Damian imploringly.
âSheâs not serious right?! You agree with me right?â Jason practically begged him.
Damian looked to the side, away from his brother as he shifted in place.
âI mean, a plans a plan and-â
Damian was cut off by Jasonâs loud cry of disbelief.
âAre you kidding me?! You know what, no. You have a concussion, your opinion is invalid.â Jason said, waving him off.
Damian scoffed, leaning back against half a broken wall.
âIâm not concussed anymore, she fixed that, remember?â Damian reminded him before continuing. âBesides, we all read the pamphlet, we are supposed to defer to her judgement.â
Jason looked like he was about to argue when Chat Noir stood up.
âYeah, heâs right. Mariâs plans never make sense but they always work, thatâs why everyone usually just listens to her.â He explained, stretching and looking up at the dragon circling the Eiffel tower.
Marinette smiled, reaching down to grab half a broken pipe.
âItâll work, you just donât see it yet.â She said cryptically, peering out around the wall they had been using for cover to spot the Akuma.
It had gotten really quiet after Damian had been hit, they hadnât seen the Akuma since either.
Marinette pulled back, glancing between Jason and Steph.
âWould either of you like to volunteer to-â
âIâll do it.â Jason said at the same time Steph shouted.
When her hair started to glow, Marinette wasnât sure what to think. She was a little worried about what was happening but Chat seemed a little excited with this outcome so she figured it was fine.
âOh,â She said drawing out the sound. â-I get it! Sheâs totally Rapunzel right now!â She said excitedly, lifting up a piece of her glowing hair to check her partnerâs head injury.
Chat nodded, letting out a little cheer.
âI was right! I was so right! This is awesome, youâre a Disney princess!â Chat said laughing, pulling out his baton and snapping a selfie with her glowing hair.
Steph joined him for pictures, both of them giggling like little kids as Marinette rolled her eyes and let them do what they wanted.
She had to focus on singing anyway, because apparently that was how her new âpowersâ worked.
âBut didnât Rapunzel have blonde hair?â Jason asked, drawing everyoneâs attention.
Chat nodded, moving away from the impromptu photo-op to explain.
âYeah, but she only got hit once, not twice. She has some of Rapunzelâs characteristics, like her powers and the style of her dress, but she hasnât become Rapunzel yet. Iâm pretty sure if she getâs hit again then that will change.â Chat explained, almost a little too excited to share what he knew.
âI think she needs to get hit twice in order for the Fairy Godmotherâs, thatâs what sheâs calling herself by the way, powers to fully work. If Mari gets hit again, her hair will get stupid long and blonde and the dress will change from pink to that purple colour she has in the movie.â Chat told the group, practically jumping in place.
During his spiel, Marinette had already finished the song and was waiting for further instructions. She had never seen the movie Chat was talking about and wasnât sure if she was supposed to be doing anything else.
She had felt Damian (Was his name according to his family, she refused to call him that until he told her himself though.) moving behind her. He hadnât said anything yet though, so she wasnât totally convinced he was conscious.
âHey Chat? What am I supposed to do now? Do I sing again orâŠ?â She asked, looking to him for guidance on the matter. This entire situation was strange to her.
Chat turn to her quickly, almost like he had forgotten what she was doing in her excitement.
âOh, no it should be fine by now. He should be completely healed if Iâm right.â He said, waving her away from Damian.
Marinette moved to stand, feeling Damian move behind her at the same time.
She turned to face him, taking in his new outfit.
âNice⊠Denim vest?â She said hesitantly.
It didnât look bad, but it obviously wasnât his style.
He looked over at her, running a hand through his hair as he smirked.
âThanks, Princess.â He straightening up to his full height.
Okay, she changed her mind. He looked great actually. They smirk really pulled to whole look together. Is it hot out here or is it just her?
Marinette cleared her throat, turning away from him.
âAnyway, Chat, does the network know about this? That it takes two shots to lose one of us?â She asked getting straight to business.
Chat shook his head, pulling out his baton and typing on it furiously.
âNo, sorry I completely forgot. I just figured it out, like, when I got here.â He explained.
Marinette went to speak when her comm started beeping, signalling an incoming call.
âHello?â She answered, holding up a hand to quiet everyone.
âDonât worry about sending that in, Markov already did. Network is updating everyone as we speak.â Pegasus said distractedly.
Marinette could hear the sounds of the war room from his end of the line, the organized chaos reminding her of what she was doing before her partner got hurt.
âAlright, thanks for the update Pegasus.â She said looking up and waving to Markov, who was hovering above the group.
His singular arm waved back.
Marinette hung up, turning to face the group.
âThe Networkâs been updated already Chat, donât worry about it. Now, I have a plan and I need to know if you lot are wanting to be a part of it.â

Marinette grunted, hauling the guy behind a wall; he was heavy, like deceptively heavy.
Marinette fell back, tripping over a rock as he fell on top of her.
He groaned, a hand slowly moving up to his head before stopping midway as he rolled over to throw up.
âOkay, that was rough, you probably have a concussion.â Marinette said, tapping on her comm.
âHey guys? I thought the akuma was a fairy god mother? And that you guys had her contained? Anyone want to explain?â She asked, gritting her teeth as she tried to shuffle her concussed partner further to cover.
âHey, Princess! So turns out it was a double akumatization, a pair of siblings from the States. Iâm going to guess you found the brother? Need any back up?â Chat Noirâs cheery voice answered from the comm.
Marinette sighed in relief, one hand feeling the back of her partnerâs head for his injury.
âSome back up would be appreciated, Chat. My partner needs medical and heâs to heavy for me to carry alone.â Marinette winced as she found the knot on the back of his head, pulling her hand away to see it covered in blood.
That wasnât goodâŠ
Chat confirmed that he was on his way, promising to be there shortly as he signed off.
Marinette looked back down at her partner, noticing his eyes starting to flutter shut.
âNope, nope nope nope. Eyes on me, Pretty Boy. I need you to stay awake.â Marinette told him frantically, gently slapping his cheeks until he met her eyes.
âPretty BoyâŠ?â He asked, his head lolling to the side slightly.
âI donât know your name, youâre pretty. I feel like itâs self explanatory.â She explained, tugging on hi arms to get him to sit up straight.
He obliged her, shuffling himself until his back as pressed against the wall.
âForgive me for not realizing sooner, I have a concussion.â He sassed her, the impact of it was weakened by how he slurred the words.
âHow do you know you have a concussion, you could just be a bit dizzy.â Marinette tried to reassure him.
He absolutely had a concussion, but he didnât need to know that. It might make him panic.
âI know what a concussion feels like.â He answered, his eyes slipping closed before they flew open again. He blinked quickly, rubbing his eyes and pressing his hand to his forehead with a groan.
âWhy do you know what a concussion feels like?â Marinette asked, trying to draw his attention back to her.
He looked at her curiously for a moment before slowly answering.
âI have siblings. Of course I know what concussion feels like.â He answered, starting to slouch before catching himself and readjusting, again.
âIâm an only child, that means nothing to me. How many siblings do you have?â She asked, he was still awake, which was good.
He started at her blankly for a few minutes, which was slightly concerning, before he blinked.
âIâm⊠not sure? Thereâs a few of them. I used to be an only child, but my father took other peoples kids and brought them home. So now I have siblings.â He replied, looking slightly dazed.
Marinette was⊠She wanted to say concerned but that didnât seem quite right.
âWhat do you mean by that? How did your dad take other peopleâs kids?â This one wasnât a question just to keep him awake, she wanted an actual answer for this one. She was confused, curious, and concerned.
He looked frustrated.
âHe took them and brought them home, they stayed so I have siblings.â He said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Marinette scratched her head, wondering how to explain her confusion to him when he was concussed.
âThatâs⊠Not exactly, normal? People donât usually just take other peopleâs children so their kids have siblings, Pretty Boy.â She tried to gently explain.
He pouted, glaring at her.
âItâs not weird. People do it all the time.â He stated resolutely.
Marinette was just about to answer when chat touched down, followed by a turtle and ladybug she had yet to meet.
âHe means adoption.â The turtle said as he reached them.
He was big, tall and bulky. The ladybug was tall too, but she seemed to have more lithe muscle than him.
âHey Dames, hows the head?â The ladybug healer asked as she bent down to examine him.
He leaned towards her, his head thunking against her shoulder as she ran her hands through his hair, looking for the injury.
âBad.â He answered, letting her check him.
The turtle turned to her, holding out his hand.
âIâm Jason, thatâs Stephanie-â Stephanie cut him off with a âJust call me Steph!â
âAnyway,â He continued. âWe are Damianâs family, Chat told us what happened so we came to help.â
Marinette nodded, accepting the answer.
âSo he meant that you guys were adopted, not kidnapped. Good to know. Iâm Marinette.â She shook his hand, turning towards Chat, who had been uncharacteristically quiet.
âSo, any updates for me, Alley Cat?â She nudged, waiting for his âI have a pedigree!â response.
He didnât give her the response she was expecting.
âI think⊠I might have figured out what the akumas do, or at least what they have been doing so farâŠâ He said, intensely glancing back and forth between her and new her partner.
âAnd that isâŠ?â She urged him.
He walked over to her, pulling out his staff and opening the phone on it.
âI want to test something before I say anything for certain, can you come here real quick?â He asked her.
Marinette followed him, letting him push her down until she was sitting back to back with her partner.
He handed her his staff, the screen pulled up to show lyrics to a song she had never heard of.
âSing this.â He told her.
She raised and eyebrow as he started to move her hair but did as he said.
If this was just a joke she would ask PiĂĄo ChĂłng if she could borrow her miraculous to tie Chat to the Eiffel Tower.
Marinette cleared her throat and began to sing.
She wasnât sure how she was supposed to sing it, like an opera or a rap? Regardless, it didnât seem to matter as her hair began to glow a bright blue.

Damian dodged another boulder, pushing off a wall and out of the way just as it came crumbling down.
He looked over searching for Princess across the rooftops.
He was panting, which was surprising. He usually had much better stamina than this.
He spotted her, ducking for cover behind a wall. Looks like she was also getting winded.
He sprinted for her, ignoring the burning of his legs and the fire in his lungs. He needed to catch up with her, he had no idea what he was supposed to be doing other than staying with her.
He dodged around rubble, skirting around the edges of the sharp pieces.
The giant had lost sight of him, of them both. Which was a relief.
He dropped down beside her, finally having caught up.
She startled, kicking him in the stomach and springing up to her feet. Something was behind her, it looked like she was building something.
Her caught on his uniform and she winced, crouching down beside him and getting back to work.
âSorry,â She called over her shoulder. âDidnât know you were one of us.â
Damian groaned, sitting up. That was twice now that she had hit him in the stomach.
Once with her entire body, and once with her leg.
âNo problem, what are you making?â He questioned, trying to get his breathing under control.
She held it up, turning to show him when she froze staring at his face.
Right. She had no idea he was here.
âWhat the fuck? Why? How?â She demanded, leaning into his space.
ââUhâŠâ He replied, intelligently.
âI left you in America!â She declared before pausing. âI left you in America, didnât I?â
He nodded, gently pushing her out of his space.
âYes, you did. I got here by other means and, as luck would have it, I was paired with you by Pegasus.â He informed her, trying to decipher what she was holding in her hands.
It didnât look like much, just a bundle of rope and some odd knots.
She groaned, leaning back.
âOf course he did. Anyway, hold this and follow me. Stick close.â She thrust the bundle of ropes at him, standing up and climbing over some rubble crouched down low.
Damian scrambled up, following after her.
They climbed up higher and higher, moving carefully to avoid notice.
âWhat is our objective? You seem to have something in mind.â Damian inquired, whispering in her ear when they stopped in the shade of a torn up wall.
She jumped slightly before shaking it off, pointing down towards a circling shadow before pointing up to the dragon that was causing it.
âThatâs Fang. We are going to ride him to the center of the battle.â She informed him, scoping out a vantage point for them to jump onto the dragons back.
Damian took a deep breath because, of course this would be happening.
It was only natural that they ride an entire dragon to battle.
Today has already been so bizarre he may as well.
He could tell Jon about it when he got back to Gotham.
She started moving again, walking out into the open. They needed to cross this expanse of clear land in order to get up higher.
Damian started to follow her, glancing to the side as he did so.
He wasnât expecting to see anyone else to be there so he was incredibly surprised to see someone dressed like they were in the Matrix.
That someone was raising a gun, aiming for Princess.
Damian shouted out for her, telling her to move.
She didnât hesitate, diving for cover as soon as he had called out to her.
She wasnât going to make it, Damian knew she wouldnât.
He raced forward, shoving her further out of the way.
A beam of light grazed his side, just barely but it was enough.
He tumbled to the ground, hitting the back of his head on a rock hard enough that he was seeing stars.
Damian groaned, everything was fuzzy and there was a ringing in his ears.
He was dimly aware of someone pulling on his arms, trying to get him up.
He did his best to help, stumbling after them as they pulled him to what he could only presume was safety.
He was going to be sick.
