MDC Commissions: The Ghost King

(A series of one shots where Marinette has some extremely unusual clients. What could possible go wrong? ao3)

When Marinette moved to Gotham after retiring as Ladybug, she had expected craziness and chaos. And living with her biological father and his family, had made her believe that she had seen everything. For example, when she sat down to breakfast that morning she had been fully prepared to see Damian and Jason engaged in a rubber band war over the head of a slumped Tim, who couldn't decide if he was awake or asleep. She didn't flinch to see Dick balancing six trays of breakfast food, while Alfred followed him with barely concealed panic. She didn't even raise an eyebrow when Bruce came in with bag under his eyes, and switched Tim's coffee with his own empty mug. Barbara rolling in arguing about the probability of aliens owning all of the bowling alleys with Duke was a completely casual conversation. And Steph filming everything while she cackled was just the cherry on top. 

She sat down next to Cass (the only other kid who was quiet), as Dick precariously started setting down the trays, and Bruce called for his other two sons to sit down. They were getting a little violent, and he wasn't having much luck. It was only once the last tray was on the table, that everyone finally settled down to eat, but Marinette had a feeling that it was only a matter of time before Jason and Damian decided to start chucking food at each other. At which point, Dick would yell "Food Fight" and they'd all be required by sibling law to join in. However, Marinette was not prepared for what happened literally two seconds after everyone was seated.

Alfred had just set down the coffee pot, causing Tim to jerk awake, when a bright flash of light in the middle of the table had everyone leaping into a fighting stance. They stood silent as they watched the glowing ball of light drift lazily around the table and settle in front of her. She squinted as it flashed blindingly before dropping something on her plate with an audible "Thunk." Marinette blinked the stars out of her eyes and stared down at a thick, glowing green scroll. It was very official looking with a glowing green wax seal and a golden center. 

Marinette stared at it in wonder, and took a long sip of her coffee. It was far to early for this. 

"Uh Mari," Dick was the first to speak as they all stared at the scroll. "What's that?"

She looked up at him blank faced, "It's a scroll Dick."

"I know that but---" Dick scoffed but Steph interrupted him with an eager, 

"What's it say?"

"I wouldn't open it Mars," Duke said hesitantly, "That green light around it is...well it's some powerful other worldly shit, I'll say that much."

"Hmm," Marinette hummed.

"Still," Barbara said, "We can't ignore it. What if it's Guardian business?"

"Has the Order ever contacted you this way before?" Bruce asked eyeing the thing like it was a bomb full of joker gass.

"Nope," Marinette said still not moving. 

"We should destroy it," Damian said simply reaching for the sword he had stashed under the table. 

"Bad idea," Cass said softly, "Important."

"But it could be a trap," Tim said lifting his mug and staring in confusion when he found it empty. "I can run some tests on it maybe."

"I'm with Demon," Jason said gruffly, "That thing is giving me the heebie jeebies."

"Did you just say heebie jeebies?" Stephanie said in confusion. 

"Whatever it is I don't think you should touch it Mari," Bruce said.

"Seriously Jay?" Steph said, "Heebie Jeebies?" 

"I agree with father," Damian said tensely, "This thing reeks of magic. Perhaps we should call a magic user." 

"I can call Zatanna," Dick offered. 

"Heebie jeebies?" 

"Let it go Steph, this is serious!"

 "But...heebie jeebies?"

The dinning room descended into utter chaos literally not even five minutes into their meal. Marinette sighed and took another sip of her coffee as her family yelled around her. She had been up all night helping Barbara with Oracle stuff and finishing up some designs for her company. And listening to her siblings fight over how to deal with ominous glowing scrolls that appeared during their breakfast was not how she wanted to start the morning. She opened her purse and Tikki flew out to look at the scroll, as Jason knocked over his chair about to launch at Steph. Tikki nodded as Dick moved to stop Jason from attacking Steph. This time Cass had taken over recording the insanity. 

Everyone froze as Marinette picked up the scroll. But nothing happened. She didn't suddenly combust or summon hellfire upon them all, so she took that as a good sign and broke the seal. Immediately, her entire family began to panic and some even lunged to snatch the scroll away from her. Marinette leaped back keeping the scroll as far away from them as she could. She sent them a confused, disapproving look as if to say, "Back off it's my magic scroll get your own!" But she read the words out loud just the same.

"To the right honorable, MDC, from the court of his Majesty the Ruler of the Infinite Realms, The Ghost King, Guardian of the Eternal Souls, Protector of the Living World, The Sleepless One, The Halfa, Keeper of the Abyss, etc. Greetings.

His majesty humbly requests your services in the designing of his coronation attire for his ascension to the throne of the Deathless King. Should you accept this most honorable, and glorious commission, simply preform the included spell before the end of five days. Preferably between 4 and 5 o'clock central. Money is no object unless you wish some other form of Eternal payment. In which case, terms will have to be agreed upon in person. You will also be invited, along with a guest of your choosing, to witness this most monumental event within the Infinite Realms.

Kindest Regards,

The King's Advisor, Physician, and Head Scientist, and Leader of the Far Frozen

Frostbite. "

Marinette looked up at her family who were staring at her in awe. None of them quiet new how to take this, so for a moment there was complete silence. In her head Marinette began counting down, "Three...two...one." And the entire dinning room erupted into chaos. Marinette just sighed as she returned her attention to the commission. "What even is my life?" she muttered.

Marinette summoned the Ghost King in the private studio at her fashion house. She reserved this studio for her VIP commissions like Jagged, Clara, Diana, and her family. At that moment it was just her, Jason, and the kwamis, which was already causing chaos as half of the little gods flew around in an attempt to help without actually helping. Jason was making no attempt to corral them like he had promised to do, and instead decided to just stand and scowl as Marinette prepared the summoning circle exactly as it was depicted on the scroll. Marinette had just wanted it to be her and the kwamis, but her family all resolutely refused. Apparently, summoning an unknown, mythical, entity of unquestionable power by herself was not something they were comfortable with. So they compromised and decided that Jason was best suited to over see the meeting. After all, one of the titles was "the Ghost King" and Jason was a zombie...technically. 

Still Marinette wasn't sure how well he would do in a fight. If it came to that, then the kwamis would be her best shot at protecting them. She wasn't sure how Jason's guns would do against something called, "The Keeper of the Abyss." Still she was glad he was here, in a way. "Alright!" she said standing, "It's ready!"

"Hmph," Jason grunted, "I don't like this, Pixie."

"Oh come on," Marinette said with a smile as she tried to hide her own terror, "Don't tell me you're not a little bit curious."

Jason shook his head and muttered something about not wanting to die again, which Marinette elected to ignore. Instead she began the chant and called upon the Ghost King, the Ruler of the Infinite Realms, The Bringer of the Frost, Guardian of the Eternal Souls, Protector of the Living World, The Sleepless One, The Halfa, Keeper of the Abyss, etc. " Man this guy has a lot of titles," she thought. The runes began to glow as the light began to melt upward into a swirling portal of ink and stars. The edges of the portal were wrapped in a shifting green cloud that reminded Marinette of the Lazarus Pit. "That's...probably...not a good sign," she thought but it was too late. Because a white hand emerged from the blackness and Marinette felt the magic in the room surge with the sudden pressure of power. She gasped, and her breath came our in a cloud as the hand was followed by a foot. The kwami gathered around her ready to fight, and Jason's hand flew to his gun. They all held their breath as the Ruler of the Infinite Realms emerged, in all of his power and glory.

"All I'm saying, Jazz, is that I don't see the point! I mean it's not like I'm going to be dressing like this while I'm king!" A teenage boy cried as he stepped casually from the portal. 

"It's not about you, Danny!" said the tall, red haired woman who followed him into the studio, "It's about your subjects. They need to see that you're taking this seriously, so they know to take you seriously. By presenting yourself as a king before them, they will be more likely to trust you as their king."

"She's right Danny," said a goth goth girl, "You're entering the world of high ghostly society. In those circles image is everything whether your alive or dead. Ha, you're gonna love it!"

The boy, Danny, groaned into his hands, and then turned to face Marinette and Jason who were staring in quiet shock and confusion. "Hi!" He said stepping forward holding out his hand to shake, "I'm Danny Phantom, future King of the Infinite Realms, nice to meet ya!" 

Marinette blue screened for a moment as she took in her client. This...was not what she was expecting. She had been fully prepared to meet some sort of strange eldritch animal/human/void type hybrid. Instead she got a teenage, human boy who couldn't have been older than 16. The only thing unusual about was his snow white hair, and glowing green eyes. She could work with this. So, Marinette smiled and shook his hand, "Marinette Dupain-Cheng-Wayne, MDC, the pleasure is all mine. And this is my brother, Jason Todd, he's going to be assisting us today!"

Danny looked over at Jason and gaped, "Dude!" he exclaimed, "You core is messed up! What happened to you?!"

"Danny!" the red head, Jazz exclaimed, "Be nice! I'm sorry," she said addressing Jason, "My brother might be one of the most powerful beings in the multiverse, but he's still a teenager and often forgets his manners. I'm Jazz by the way!" She held out her hand, and Jason numbly shook it as his eyes expressed that he was still trying to mentally process what was happening. 

"And I'm Sam," the goth girl said stepping forward as the portal closed behind her, "I'm a big fan of your work, Miss. MDC. Your eco friendly punk spring collection was truly inspired!" 

"Thank you," Marinette said with a smile, "And I see you're wearing some of it! I have to say, the way you've dressed up the vest is amazing, I never would have thought to match it with that color skirt!" 

Sam blushed as she straighten the faux dark green leather vest. Jason then took the opportunity to speak up saying, "I hate to interrupt but...what's the story here?"

"Oh," Danny said as they all moved toward the couches that surrounded the circular stage, where the finished products would be touched up and fitted. "Well you see our parents," he gestured between himself and his sister, "are scientists who for some reason decided to study ghosts."

"We thought they were crazy!" Jazz exclaimed with a desperate laugh.

"They are crazy," Sam said, "Just turns our they were also right."

"They built a portal to what they called the Ghost Zone," Danny explained, "It's kind of like the afterlife in between afterlives. A realm between realms...sort of...it's complicated. And that's not really the point, the point is, they thought it didn't work. Until, Sam, Tucker and I were goofing off in the lab and there was an...'accident.'"

"And you died?!" Marinette asked in concerned.

"Yes, no, sorta kinda," Danny said casually, "I half died. I'm half dead. I'm half ghost."

"The technical term is Halfa," Jazz explained.

"Danny is alive," Sam said, "But at the same time, he's dead."

"Schrodinger's kid," Jason muttered, and Danny beamed. 

"Yeah, you see! This guy gets it!" He exclaimed. "So anyway, now that the portal was open someone had to make sure that the ghosts didn't overwhelm the land of the living, and vise versa. And since I am both living and dead, I was the only one who could do it."

Marinette twisted one of her earrings with a glance at Tikki, who was shuffling the other kwamis out of sight since there was clearly no danger, "I get that."

She and Danny exchanged an understanding look, before he continued, "Yeah, well, one of those ghosts turned out to be the actual Ghost King who had gone all tyrant, and tried to disrupt the balance between life and death thus destroying both realms. I might have beaten him in single combat thus accidently becoming the next Ghost King." 

"How do you accidently become the Ghost King?" Jason said incredulously. 

"By beating the former monarch in single combat, I thought we just established that?" Danny said.

"Any way," Jazz said purposefully, "Danny was still in high school at the time, so he couldn't exactly claim the throne. And besides there was a lot about inter-death politics that he had to learn. So we had to hold off on the coronation until he was ready." 

"And now here you are!" Marinette said brightly. 

"Here we are!" Danny said in return. "Got to say though, randomly becoming the guardian of one of the cornerstones of all existence before all before my 18th birthday, not how I expected my life to turn out. But like you said 'here we are!'"

Marinette glanced at the kwami again and said softly, "Yeah, I get that to."

Danny cocked his head at her, as his glowing green eyes met her piercing blue one. He nodded and said, "Alright then, let's get started shall we. I'm trusting you, Blue eyes!"

Jason scowled at the nickname, but Marinette chuckled and retrieved her tape measure, but stopped as she took in his outfit. It looked like a black and white, rubber hazmat suit that was custom made to fit him. It wasn't the worst thing she had ever seen, and the flaming D, she guessed was a nice touch, but it the girls were right. It didn't scream "King of the Infinite Realms." But it raised a pressing question for her. 

"So how do your clothes work?"

"Uh...well...let's see," Danny said as he looked down at his outfit. "Well I suppose I should explain how ghosts work. You see all of this," he gestured to his face and limbs with exaggerated motions, "Is basically all ectoplasm, energy, and magic shaped by the self image of my psyche. So I can shift it to change based on my self image, and that includes my clothes, if I focus. The thing holding it all together is my core." He tapped is chest where his heart should have been. "Basically it's like a...vessel? Yeah, a vessel for my psyche, or spirit, or soul, whatever word you want to use." 

"So do you want me to just draw you an outfit, and then you can shift your clothes into that. It might be easier."

"Nuh-uh," Sam said, "That wont work. He can shapeshift, but it's not his specialty. He always shifts back within thirty minutes or sometimes less."

Jazz nodded, "The best thing would be to make him an outfit for his human form, and then he can shift to match that. We can even infuse the fabrics with some of his ectoplasm, so it will be easier for his psyche to recognize it as a part of him."

Marinette froze at the phrasing, and suddenly why Danny was so hesitant to change his ghostly look. His clothes were a part of his self image. This was how his spirit perceived his existence. Marinette began studying hit clothes a lot more closely. Any thing she did could alter his self image for all of eternity, if she wasn't careful. Marinette took a deep breath. This was probably going to end up being the most important piece of her career. "Ok," she said allowing her voice to communicate to Danny just how serious she was taking this commission. "I think I understand. In that case, I'm going to need measurements of both your human form, and your ghost form. If there are any discrepancies, I'm going to need to know now."

Danny smiled softly at her. "Ok." And there was no more arguing or complaining, as he stood patiently while she took his measurements, first in his ghost form, and then in his human form. Jason was writing down the numbers diligently. Almost too diligently, but Marinette understood his silence when he said, 

"So this core thing...you said I had one but there was something wrong with it."

"Hmm," Danny said, "Oh yeah. Did you die and get resurrected or something?" Jason nodded silently, completely engrossed in the notepad. "Well, whoever did it did an awful job!"

"Danny!" Jazz exclaimed.

"What? It's true!"

"But that's not how you say it. I am so sorry Jason, my brother can be a little insensitive."

"No it's ok," Jason said, "I'd rather have it blunt and honest, than sugar coated. So what's wrong with me?"

"Nothing's wrong with you per se," Danny mused after a moment of studying Jason. "So obviously you died. And the circumstances were just right so that instead of going to one of the 'afterlives' you went to the space between, the Infinite Realms. Which is probably why you don't remember what happened in between your two lives. Am I right?"

"You'd know better than me," Jason laughed dryly. 'Like you said I don't remember."

 "Probably for the best. But anyway," Danny continued, "When you were resurrected, it was done very badly, because you're core is warped. Don't worry it's still intact, so your spirit's safe. But the warped core combined with the corrupted ectoplasm running through your veins! Yeesh! Frankly I'm surprised you're not frothing at the mouth, homicidal maniac right now. Cause that amount of contamination is not good for you mental stability." 

The siblings froze and exchanged desperate, almost hopeful looks. "The pit madness," Marinette whispered. 

"I get...angry sometimes," Jason explained. "I see green, and then red, and then I...I hurt people."

The girls looked at him with pity, but Danny just nodded with understanding. "Makes sense," was all he said, but Marinette could instantly see the relief of those words wash over Jason's whole being. She knew how much he fought, how much he struggled with his sanity. They tried to help, but pit madness wasn't like normal mental illnesses. It was steeped in ancient magic and the forces of nature them selves. In the end the only advice any of the could logistically give Jason was to fight it. Therapy could give him tools, but when push came to shove none of them understood what it was like. 

And to have someone, anyone, say that it made sense. That his reactions to the corruption inside him were not strange, abnormal or grotesque. To have his actions fit inside the bounds of an expected response, a symptom of something that could be categorized...Marinette could not imagine the relief Jason must have been feeling. But it whatever his emotions were they all seemed to be summed up in his next chocked out words, “Is…is there a cure.”

“Yeah, of course there is!” Danny said with his cheerful casualness, that broke all of Jason’s carefully crafted walls. “I can schedule an appointment for you with Frostbite. He’s done some incredible research into the development of Ghost cores. Once, he filters that ectoplasm in your blood stream, it shouldn’t be too difficult to get your core back to it’s proper shape. You’ll have to spend a few days in the Ghost Zone, a week at most. But then your core will start filtering and shaping the ectoplasm on it’s own…think of it as a liver transplant, but with magic and shit.”

“Wow,” Jason breathed. “I…uh…ha…I.t…thank you!”

Danny smiled, “Eh, what are kings for. I mean you are technically one of my subjects.”

“I’m sorry,” Jason said still smiling.

Danny grinned. “When you die, again, you’ll go to the Ghost Zone. My zone. You’re stuck with me buddy!”

Jason threw back his head with a clear bright laugh that was all too rare in Marinette’s opinion. And hearing it now as it rang with hope and joy, only made Marinette’s smile brighter and fuller. They continued to talk about what it would take to get Jason to the Ghost Zone for his “core transplant” as Danny was now calling it. And Marinette was slowly getting a clearer picture of what she was going to make for the young king. 

When she finished her measurements and pulled out her note book to start some rough sketches, she turned back to Danny and said, “Ok so we can talk about what you don’t want once I have some ideas mapped out. But first I want to know if there is anything that you do want. A favorite color, a piece of jewelry, a type of belt, anything like that?”

“Your symbol,” Sam said immediately. “You need to have your symbol.”

“I think you should keep your usual color scheme,” Jazz said calmly, “It’s like your signature.”

“Danny?” Marinette asked pointedly. 

He thought for a moment and the grinned saying, “Can I get a cape?”

The girls rolled their eyes, and Jason put his head in his hand. But Marinette just beamed and said, “I’ll see what I can do.”

Dumb MDC Idea:

Nino/Adrien/Chloé sugar, Alya/Lila/class salt. Lukanette.

Nino breaks up with Alya after they get into a fight about Lila’s credibility, and he’s absolutely miserable, until he meets this girl, Emília at a music festival.

They start texting, and Nino’s friends keep on teasing him and asking him who she is and what she’s like etc.

Eventually, Nino tells them that they’re going on a first date!!! Precisely they’ve decided on this little café at 3pm next Saturday!

Marinette and Adrien want to make sure it goes smoothly, so a couple minutes after Nino and Emília walk into the café, they slip in as well, walking to the back so that Nino has his back to them and his date is in their line of sight, not too close that they’ll notice them but not too far that they’re out of ear shot.

10 minutes later, Luka walks in, and notices the two huddled in a corner trying not to be noticed. He walks over and when he gets to the booth, Marinette drags him down onto the bench and explains the situation.

Nino comes into school on Monday, talking about how fun his date was and how they’ve decided to do it again!!!

Luka, Marinette and Adrien all exchange eye contact...

They continue spying on Nino’s dates, making sure everything goes smoothly and cringing every time something goes wrong.

Eventually Chloé asks Adrien what’s going on and where he goes every Saturday. Adrien explains, and Chloé wants in.

So now there’s, Chloé, Luka, Adrien and Marinette all huddled around a booth every Saturday, spying and giggling over their friends love life. Invasive? Yes. Entertaining? Also yes. But they’re very happy that they haven’t been noticed yet.

Right?

One weekend, Emília arrives before Nino, and walks over to their booth.

Turns out she’s been noticing how they arrive at the same time as them, and always look suspicious-whats going on?

Marinette panics, and answers “WE’RE STARTING A FASHION BUSINESS!” “Really?” “YES-I’m head designer, Chloé and Luka are going to be models and Adrien’s PR?!”

Emília doesn’t buy it, but turns to leave anyway, only for Nino to arrive and walk over to the group, asking what their talking about.

His date explains “oh these lot are starting a fashion business!” Which Nino is surprised about, and is like “cool dudes, can’t wait to see what you come up with!”

The four are panicking, because either they

1) continue lying or

2) admit they’ve been spying on them

Neither of which they really want to do.

Until Chloé comes up with the idea of “why don’t we just make one? That way we won’t be lying, Marinette can start her own business, we all get work experience, and we might get some money out of it!”

They’re all a bit apprehensive, but um ok?!

And thus, MDC is born, all because they didn’t want to admit to Nino that they were spying on his love life...

So yeah that’s a dumb way for it to start up...

“Court of Miracles” Maribat AU - Part 1. (Concept)

Adrien as Chat Noir starts getting a lot more of responsibilities once Ladybug becomes Fu's successor, which helps him grow up as a hero, taking his responsibilities much more seriously than before. Now he's training in order to be the next guardian in case something dare to happen to his partner. Viperion is their right-hand man in many cases because of his knowledge about all the timelines.

Both Luka and Marinette come with a lot of contingency plans, while Kagami leads the combat training with the help of the new turtle; Adrien however recruits Gorilla and Félix as temporary heroes. Wayzz for the man and both Trixx and Mullo for his cousin now that Alya was deemed on probation on her position as well as Nino.

Gorilla knows Chat Noir secret identity and became the team support once he found out all of them are basically kids, of course he is furious on behalf of his new proteges, wanting to impale Hawkmoth himself to make him pay for his crimes. And as Tortue Bouclier he is no fool, Gabriel Agreste as the cold calculative bussines man would never hire a simple bodyguard to protect his only son, no. Mr. Gaston Du Bellay is skilled in many martial arts, of course he’s gonna teach them.

Félix as Resilience is the sneaky agent, holder of both the Fox and the mouse, he spies on their enemies and steal when is necessary. Basically, he is their oracle, the one with the connections, cold enough to use them on benefit of the greater good.

However, by the time team miraculous forms the "Court of miracles", using their wealth in order to found their investigation towards capturing Hawkmoth. Adrien, Chloe and Kagami use part of their money in order to found akuma shelters and safe spaces as donations. Félix, Marinette as her fashion designer's alter ego MDC and Luka once he became a Rockstar alongside Jagged Stone use their new fortune into their team bases undercover down the bakery.

Neither Anarka nor the Dupain Chengs seems to be the type of parents who take over their child’s money, and is safer for Marinette and Luka to be the ones to spend their money on their resources.

Gaston is the one to make all the paperwork to lead the finances away from the kids, as a precaution to lead them away of suspicion on their secret identities.

By the time all of them starts to get serious the Justice League wants to unify forces with them by Wonder Woman orders and Batman concerns, but Aquaman is the one to stop them, claiming is better to be smart about it, he knows better that anyone else that Plagg is capable of Cataclysm all of them if their actions endanger his chosen.

Luka suspects of Bruce as the Batman because their songs are so much alike to ignore, however his target is Alfred, not Bruce. Mr. Pennyworth as a former snake holder is the only one who can train Viperion, so he comes to Gotham with Félix in order to meet him.

Félix already know the Waynes, as he is friends with Damian. So, is not too strange for him to come visit sometimes. He can tag Couffaine along with him to recruit the butler.

Now Alfred Pennywoth enters the game way early than the Justice Leage suspects a thing.

Last Day In Heaven Pt.3

-First- - Pt.2 - -Next-

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

She decided that she would go to college in a different country since there weren't so many things keeping her here left. Just Hawkmoth. And they were so close to figuring him out. Or rather... collecting enough evidence to prove their suspicions right. Marinette somehow has always felt that something was just not right about him even though he had been akumatized. By now the miraculous team was sure that Gabriel Agreste was Hawkmoth. They just needed more evidence.

But before that she needed to take Chat noir's miraculous back. He was no help anyway. They couldn't risk him ruining their plan. Tikki had told her about Chat noir's identity after she decided to break up with him. At first she was suprised, but now she just felt the same disgust for both sides of him.

Plagg knew about their plan on taking back Adrien's miraculous and he agreed with them. Even though he loved his kitten he admitted he has changed a lot recently.

Marinette sent Tikki to take his miraculous while he was asleep the other night and left a letter telling him that the miraculous was retrieved by the guardian due to his recent actions making him unwhorty to weild a miraculous , thanking him for battling beside Ladybug against evil at least for a limited time and wishing him luck on finding the right path in his life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lila had the whole class wrapped around her finger already and now she had Adrien too. She finally won . Sure it took more time than she expected but taking Adrien from that brat's own hands was so much more satisfying than anything else and oh how she loved that look on her face when she saw her kissing Adrien.

Now that she had a model boyfriend she could make all her claims on knowing those celebrities real and listen Marinette suffer all alone in the background. She was not done with that brat yet. But for now she would let her sink in the fact that Lila had finally won and she had lost.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

When Adrien woke up the next day he was horrified when he couldn't feel the ring on his finger. He was about to search for it when he saw the letter. Huh? That was weird. And when he read the letter he was filled with rage because how dare Ladybug take his miraculous. Sure he hadn't shown up to the recent akumas but this was her fault for not sharing more information with him.

She was the one who defended him against people who called him Ladybug's sidekick telling them they were partners in fighting crime and equals. And when it came to proving that they were equals she refused to let him know more. She didn't even let him know her identity. Now that she was the guardian she could change the rules but she still used them as an excuse to not reveal herself to him.

Obviously she didn't trust him, if she didn't trust him with information he deserved to know, she couldn't trust him on the battlefield could she? And she couldn't battle beside someone who she didn't trust and neither could he beside someone who didn't trust him. So he stopped showing up to battles. Because of her. And here she acted like it was his fault.

He realized once again how Ladybug didn't deserve him, how Lila was right. And if she didn't want him now, he would wait until she regretted her decision and come crawling back to him.

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

Marinette had much more time for herself now that she didn't spend those times to make free things for her classmates or organizing birthdays, class trips (because they asked Bustier to change the class president when she stopped making free things) and she used that time to take commission from famous people Jagged introduced her to. She used to do that too but couldn't have the time to do so much. Now that she had the time, her fashion career was rising under the name of MDC and few people knew her real identity. She created her own website. They were starting to collect evidence on the Hawkmoth case . Life was good.

Well there were some exceptions of course... Like how she had to change her phone number because of the mean texts she got from her classmates because of how she 'bullied Lila' . At school they would call her names whenever they could. And one time she caught them just when they were about to harm her sketchbook so she tried not to bring her personal things to school . But it was okay. She would have to bear them just for a little while longer and she wouldn't have to see them again. And she was almost immune to their words by now . ........almost...... But it still didn't hurt as much as it used to did.

And it didn't hurt because they thought of her that way. No, it just hurted to see how she trusted the wrong people , to see how they were not whorty of any kind of trust from anyone. But she would get over it soon.

And she didn't have much time to think about them nowadays anyway. She was so busy with Hawkmoth and her fashion career. Everyone knew MDC, wondered who she was and even theorized about her real identity. They didn't think this much on even Ladybug's real identity!!!

You Don’t Know MDC

Summary: This is my own spin on a prompt I saw on Tumblr. https://lilypos03.tumblr.com/post/617280169042984960/mdc-means-lila-rossi-mdc-has-gotten-a-lot-of-fame

Author's Note: small but I hope you enjoy

“MDC was one of my best friends, in fact, I design quite a few of her best outfits but she was jealous so stole them from me” Lila stated, Marinette could have lost it right then and there but she restrained herself, she was leaving school soon anyway in order to be homeschooled due to her duties as Ladybug, being the guardian and her raising career as MDC.

After becoming the guardian, she informed her parents so she would have some support other than Tikki. Her parents had been very supportive after explaining the Lila situation and were quick to decide to move her to homeschool. Uncle Jagged found out about her wanting to start her own website after getting more free time due to homeschool so was quick to help her set it up and promote it. Marinette kept her identity secret because she was minor and wanted privacy also she didn’t want to deal with the press watching her constantly.

So as soon as she noticed Alya filming, she knew that she would have to make a statement against the blog soon and knowing Jagged personality along with the fact that when this rumours spread a lot more people would look at her, Alya would be getting many lawsuits soon from the people Lila lied about because it would be considered slander.

Marinette bolted from class as quickly as possible not wanting to deal with her former friend’s comments on her ‘bullying’ of Lila today. She got home quickly and contact Penny telling her about Lila’s lie about her today so her and Jagged would be ready to make public statements against the Ladyblog posting the ‘truth’ and sure enough, the Ladyblog newest article blew up on social media.

There was a massive debate online about the article and if Lila was telling the truth but luckily people on the internet were smarter than the people in her class because they looked through past interviews that the Ladyblog did with Lila and pulled apart her lies one by one, saying if Lila lied about all of that then it was more than likely she lied about MDC.

Both Jagged and Penny made tweets against the Ladyblog and Marinette made her own statement on Twitter.

Insomniac Designer @MDC

I will only say this once, I have never been friends with Lila Rossi and have never stolen designs as I have dealt with it twice in the past and would never to that to a fellow designer. Please fact check information before you spread it to other people as it could harm someone’s lively hood or future.

Rockstar Of Paris @JaggedStone

It’s so unrock and roll of people to spread slander against fellow creatives especially ones just starting out. MDC has never stolen designs as I have seen her create new designs on the go when I visit her for a commission or to spend time with her family since she is my honorary niece.

Penny Rolling @PRolling

MDC has never stolen designs along with the fact that Jagged has never written a song for Lila Rossi or had never owned a kitten. This is slander, @ladyblogger please take this down before we give you a lawsuit.

The mention of a lawsuit was a bit much and did get a bit of backlash since Alya was just a teenager and teenagers make mistakes but soon after her and Jagged statements were public, other celebrities that Lila lied about soon followed. Both Alya and Lila have turned into Akumas soon after but they were taken down in 30 minutes.

Marinette went back to school on Monday to collect a few papers along with items from her locker. Getting the things out of her locker was simple and there was no fuss but getting her papers were a different matter since Mr Damocles was not in today, meaning her papers were with Miss Bustier, Yay.

Even from the hallway, she could hear yelling from her former classmates and friends. Taking a deep breath, Marinette opened the door to see a crowd of her classmates yelling at Lila who was curling in on herself. Miss Bustier was trying to calm everyone down but failing miserably. Marinette tapped Miss Bustier on her shoulder which seemed to surprise her.

“Marinette, you finally here, could you help me?” asked Miss Bustier but Marinette just shook her head,

“Sorry Miss Bustier but I just came to collect my papers” Marinette replied, she was done being Miss Bustier’s peacekeeper,

“Papers, what do you mean paper-” Miss Bustier was cut off by Rose who flung herself around Marinette in tears,

“Marinette” she cried but Marinette just silently pushed Rose off her.

Alya seemed to finally notice her if the surprised look on her face was anything to go by. “Marinette, can you believe Lila lied?” she cried,

“Yeah, I was telling you that for months” Marinette replied raising an eyebrow,

“What?” Alya stuttered, the entire classroom silent,

“I told you for months but every time you either just told me to stop being jealous, stop being a bully or worse of all you told me to fact check when you’re the reporter, not me” Marinette snapped,

“But how were we-” Marinette cut off Alya,

“By trusting me by doing what a reporter is supposed to do and find evidence of someone claims”.

The class was quite now along with Alya as their actions from the past few months sink in. Turning to Miss Bustier, she notices a file with a post note on it on her desk. Walking over to the desk she read the note, ‘please hand this file to Miss Dupain Cheng as she needs them due to her no longer being a student’. Grabbing the file she went to leave but notice before saying one last goodbye to Miss Bustier.

“What do you mean goodbye?” question Alix,

“Goodbye as I’m no longer a student here” answered Marinette sighing at the reaction she got,

“What?” yelled the class, Alya being the loudest and Lila just staring at her in silent shock,

“What do you all expect, I got threaten by Lila, wrongfully expelled with no investigation, accused of being a bully, treated like an outcast but was still expected to give you free gifts from the bakery or me handcrafting outfits” she exploded finally expressing her anger that she held back for months,

“This is a toxic environment and I’m saving myself from being akumatised or my mental health getting worse” and with that Marinette slammed the door ignoring the cries from her former friends.
