Robin, showing up to a crime scene with Red Robin and Red Hood to find Ladybug force feeding an apprehended Riddler danishes: Robin: . . . Robin: Ladybug, you cannot solve every problem with pastries. Ladybug, shoving a scone into Riddler's already over stuffed mouth: *gives Robin a flat look* Ladybug: Watch me. Red Robin: Honestly, I've yet to see it not work for her. Red Hood: She bribed a whole gang last week with croissants. Ladybug: It's called diplomacy. Robin: It's called bribery. Ladybug, considering Robin: *holds out a macaron* Robin: *stares at it a moment before taking it* Robin: ... I won't tell Batman. Red Robin, munching on a muffin: This is how Gotham falls. Red Hood, nodding with a cookie: Pastry bribes.

I picture Riddler quietly choking in the background as Ladybug smothers him with more and more pastries. She's not bribing so much as threatening death by overconsumption.
