Ok, so here’s chapter 2! So the first few chaps are going to be short and pretty quick. Once Mari is….I think 14 maybe…..it’ll stop being years between them. I just kinda want a brief little thing going up to when Hawkmoth comes in. Ok? I hope that made sense. Also, if ya want to go to my mess of a Tumblr its @ranger-gothamite!! Just thought I’d tell ya in case ya wanted to visit it! Anyways, I hope you enjoy it!!
When summer came, Mari was excited. She could spend every day with the Wayne’s. Her parents would even visit a couple of times during summer. She beamed up at Dick who gave her a hug. Jason smiled at her and rubbed her hair once more. “Hey, pixie-pop. You excited for another summer with us?” he asked and Mari nodded excitedly.
“Yes! I had so much fun last summer!” she beamed up at him and both Dick and Tim laughed at that.
“I’m glad you had fun,” Dick said. Mari turned to the last brother and smiled at him. Damian nodded back. They all then went into the manor and Alfred smiled at her.
“Hello, Mari,” he greeted.
“Grandpa!” she shouted and Alfred chuckled at that. Alfred was only her godfather, but he didn’t mind being called grandpa by her. He bent down and picked the 11-year-old up and hugged her. He then set her down once more before grabbing her hand and walking to the manor with the boys behind her.
“It’s good to see you again. I hope you have fun this summer too,” he said with a smile that Mari returned.
“I know I will!! Mari replied and Alfred’s smile grew as he led her inside.

Mari clapped happily as Dick finished showing her some new acrobatic moves he did her age. “Think you can be able to do that?” he asked and Mari nodded and Dick chuckled. Mari went over to him and Dick gave pointers as she went through the movements. He laughed as she did the movements and stumbled.
She laughed as well. They went through the routine until she was able to go through it without stumbling or tripping. Jason came up behind Dick and placed his bent arm on Dick’s shoulder. “Have fun, pixie-pop?” he asked and Mari beamed up at him and nodded. “Now, ready to learn how to disable a gun?” While they wouldn’t show her how to shoot, they knew it would benefit her to know how to disarm them. Especially since they were in Gotham and someone was bound to try mugging her.
“Yes!” she replied for both questions and Jason smirked as he moved his arm off Dick. “Later Dick!” Dick looked wary but nodded and left to do some other things. Jason smiled as he led her over to his stash of weapons. “That’s a lot,” she pointed at looking up at Jason. Jason shrugged with a smirk
“Gotta be prepared,” Jason remarked before helping her onto a seat. He then showed her how to disarm the guns quickly but safely.

Tim was showing her puzzles and riddles. He wanted her to think creatively with what she knows. And with every lesson, she was getting better. She had fun with Tim as they solved puzzles. Bruce had Damian spar with her. With either him or one of his brothers supervising of course.
They trained every day for an hour or so before she did something else. They went between training and doing fun stuff. Alfred came by and took her to the kitchen. They made macaroons together which had Mari laughing delightedly. Alfred was smiling at Mari as they made the treats together.
They soon finished the treats and Alfred started lunch. Once lunch was ready they ate. Afterwards, he brought out the macaroons they made and everyone ate them happily. “These are delicious,” Dick said and Alfred and Mari smiled at him.
“Thank you, Master Dick. Marinette helped make them,” he said and Dick beamed at the little girl.
“Good job!” he said and Mari smiled excitedly.
“Are we gonna make more treats grandpa?” she asked and Alfred nodded agreement.
“Of course,” he agreed.
“How’s it with Chloe? She seemed to quite the pain last we talked,” Jason asked and Mari frowned.
“She’s mean. But she’s getting better!” Mari said and everyone smiled at her. Though Damian wasn’t smiling. He just looked less annoyed at the thought.
“That’s good!” Dick replied and Mari nodded.
~~~~~~~~~~~~(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mari giggled and kicked her legs from her spot atop Jason. He held onto her legs loosely. He chuckled as he kept her from falling down. “How’d you like the movie, pixie-pop?” he asked and he heard her laugh.
“It was awesome!” she said excitedly and Jason smiled at that.
“What part did you like the most?”
“I really liked it when Holley and Finn help keep Mater and Lightning safe!” she answered.
“That was a good part,” Jason agreed as they walked. Dick was laughing beside him while Tim grumbled in front of Dick. “What, Timbo, do you not agree with pixie-pop?” Jason asked and Tim glanced up.
“Why did I have to come? Damian got out of it,” Tim asked and Dick smirked.
“You wanted to. Don’t lie,” Dick replied and Mari laughed as Tim shrunk down and grumbled his agreement softly. They continued down the street back up to the manor. Mari laughed and giggled as they went. “You excited to go home next week?” Mari nodded.
“Yeah! I cant wait to see Nino and Kim again!” she replied and Dick nodded.
“I imagine they’re excited to see you too,” Dick replied and Mari beamed at him.

Mari held Alfred’s and Dick’s hand as they left the manor and went to the portal. Master Fu was with her parents and waving with a smile.”Grandpa!” Mari shouted excitedly and let go of Dick’s hand to wave excitedly. “Goodbye! I had fun this summer!” Mari said as she hugged each Wayne tightly.
“I’m glad you had fun this summer, Mari,” Damian said as Mari hugged him.
“Of course I would! I was with my friends!” Mari said and Damian flustered at that. Mari waved once more with a smile before running over to the portal. She ran through it and hugged her parents then Master Fu. “Until next time!” Mari shouted before the portal closed.
