I read your supernette au and now i'm wondering if Fu connected the dots on the first girl he chose to be Ladybug being the superhero that showed up on the second coming of Stoneheart
Alright, let’s get back into it.
· For the sake of canon, we’ll have Marinette call herself Calliope, in her superhero form, from the beginning.
It’s very fitting as she is not the primary hero here, thanks anon
· Her second meeting with Fu will take place in Princess Fragrance.
· As Rose can’t afford to be akumatized here, I’ll have her simply distracted from the fact that Prince Ali is in town, due to the fact that she’s a hero and is trying to focus on hawkmoth a bit more.
· Also thanks to Tikki, she’s got a bit more of a realistic look on life, as she and Jules are closer than ever, on the verge of thinking that maybe they might actually have been dating all this time.
· So basically, she doesn’t write that letter to Prince Ali and perfume it, but it’s a big school, maybe someone else would also be a fan-girl of Ali and try to do something similar, get caught, and akumatized, so yeah,
· Rose loses Tikki as she leaves school, likely just falls out of her purse as she’s excited to hang out with Juleka.
· Chloe finds Tikki at the front of the school and Marinette recognizes her and tries to get it back from Chloe in the same way, things go relatively normally with how that goes on.
· But Marinette successfully follows Chloe’s limo to the hotel and manages to cause a distraction and snatch the kwami right out of Chloe’s hand, just before she enters the building.
· Marinette notices that Tikki is sick and takes her back to Fu using her super speed
· Fu was just chilling in his massage parlor, wondering out loud, “I wonder how Calliope was able to respond to the akuma attacks so quickly….”
· when a sudden burst of wind came in and Mari was just standing in front of him, Tikki in hand
· So Fu heals Tikki, not pretending not to know what she is for the sake of secrets
· They exchange questions for a little while:
“What is the source of your power?”
“Earth is! The environment has more oxygen and less ionizing radiation than my planet. Why can’t I see through their masks?”
“Magic protects their identities. Earth’s environment? Are you… an alien? From space?”
“Yup, I’m from the same planet as America’s Superman. He’s unofficially my uncle, even though we’re not really related. What are the miraculous? Where did the magic come from?”
“The Kwami are embodiments of concepts and ideas in their purest forms; from the beginning of those concepts, they were created. The miraculous were only created so they can interact with our world and manifest their powers here. Did you know you were allergic to magic? Is that why you refused the miraculous?”
“I knew I was probably weak to it, but I didn’t know how bad it could get, but I mostly did it because I didn’t want to be too powerful… all things considered… Also I can’t have my ears pierced… Why select children, of all people, to be heroes? Aren’t there adults, who could do the job better?”
“Children are less likely to use the miraculous powers selfishly, they are less likely to be corrupted, and there is also a matter of limiting their power.”
· Fu heals Tikki and she tells Marinette to take her back to the school and leave her there
· Marinette does and rushes off to her room to change and join the fight
· Robin was put under the spell because his respirator didn’t filter out the magic smoke, but chat wasn’t because Robin went in first and he had to nope out or get cut by a singing Robin.
· Pixiebug comes in shortly afterwards
· The fight is won when Calliope blows Princess Fragrance’s perfume back at her and uses her laser eyes to break open the canister, releasing the buttefly
· Pixie hugs Callie very tightly, or as tightly as she can and thanks her for taking care of Tikki
· Marinette doesn’t let Damian live down his singing hypnotism that easily, but she does complement his singing voice (and asks him to sing to her on multiple occasions)
And while we’re on the topic of mentor figures and meeting, let’s have Aquaman and Wonderwoman sneak to Paris to meet the miraculous team.
· They catch them during one of their nightly patrols
· Arthur starts by pretending to be there to claim revenge on Plagg for what he did to Atlantis
· Can’t keep a straight face at the little black cat before him and immediately goes into big-brother mode, patting him on the back and stuff
· Diana can’t help but gush at the child, wearing her mother’s old miraculous, Pixiebug gushes at the daughter of one of her predecessors
· Marinette arrives late with Robin, each of them carrying a rather large bag of pastries, from a familiar patisserie, in hand, heroes need the extra calories (or that’s her excuse for trying to put some meat on chat’s bones)
· The two elder heroes immediately pounce on Calliope, each taking a hand to shake, leaving robin to distribute the pastries to the other two
· They comment on how cute and tiny she looks, aquaman goes as far as pinching her cheek
· She squeezes their hands, hard
· Diana is impressed at her strength and complements her, “You really are a Kryptonian!”
· Arthur is on his knees, holding her wrist with his free hand and begging for forgiveness
· Everyone, but Robin he only smirks, laughs as greetings are done and they start to make small-talk
· Then Robin asks, “I thought Batman and Superman banned the Justice league from interfering. Considering the terrorist that can control minds, and all.”
· Everyone looks at him before Arthur pipes up, “An Atlantean steel sword, custom made for you says that they won’t hear about it from you.”
· Robin doesn’t hesitate, “Done.”
· Arthur laughs, “So Red Hood was wrong, you are very reasonable.”
· Calliope then clears her throat,
· Diana: “Amazonian silks and Atlantean scale mail, if they don’t hear about it from you, either.”
· Pixie and Chat, awkwardly scoot themselves into view
· Aquaman and Wonderwoman exchange glances before looking back at them: “autographs?”
· CN: “Yes, please” PB: “Can I get a picture of me dangling off your arms?”
· They spend the evening exchanging battle stories and eating pastries before Wonderwoman and Aquaman return to the watchtower
· Clark and Bruce don’t hear about it for another two weeks
· Clark video calls Marinette later to confirm their suspicions
· Damian was already there, sharpening a new sword on her chase with a whetstone
· Marinette was putting a dress together with some expensive looking silk
· CK: “Did Wonderwoman and Aquaman show up at any point in the past two weeks?”
· Damian: “I think we would know if two members of the Justice League were in Paris, right Angel?” Doesn’t look away from his Atlantean steel sword.
· Marinette: “Yeah, what are you talking about uncle Clark?” Gently brushes her hand over the Amazonian silk dress.
· Bruce in the background of Clark’s video: “Riiiiiiiight-wait ‘angel’?”
