Of Life and Heroes
Chapter 3: Endings with explosions
"What she means, is that your suits are- in my words- ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!"
The four heroes looked down at their outfits. They weren't that bad, were they? Okay, maybe they were that bad but to be fair, they were heroes not models.
"Okay, you have a point, but remember we're heroes not those models." Robin stated.
"Fashion has a way to protect you too!" Marinette defended, "You know what? Here's the address of the hotel I'm staying at, please visit me for better, useful designs."
"I didn't think our dear ladybug would have the ability to attack our ego's like that." Red Robin muttered.
"L-Ladybug? I'm no ladybug. Nope. No ladybug here." 'Play dumb!' thought Marinette."What's a ladybug?" 'Not that dumb!' She could hear Chloe snickering at her and glared at her.
The boys looked confused and suspicious at her reaction before Nightwing decided to take pity on her and explain.
"Well, there's this thing called 'ladybug' in Paris- I'm sure you've heard of her, you live there, after all- we've heard many things about her, though the superhero part sounds false."
"Basically everyone thinks she's just some random person in disguise who saves others from trouble" Red Robin continued.
"You're kind of famous in America as the 'Ladybug of America' because your kinda like her- maybe you are her. You can blame Jagged Stone for that." Red Hood Hood ended. "Hey, you think you could sign my suit? Maybe then it'll look acceptable!"
"Ignore him." said all the siblings simultaneously.
"Actually, could you sign my hand?" Red Robin asked after a second.
Chloe snorted. "I'm sure she'd love to but we need our beauty sleep for the tour at Wayne Enterprises tomorrow."
"Uh, yeah, what she said. Maybe next time? It is late and I'm not allowed to drink more than two cups of coffee anymore so I really do need sleep." Marinette explained, her mind still baffled by all the new information.
"I'll escort you." All of them said at once, eager to spend more time with their idol.
Robin turned around and glared at them. "I think I'm more capable to handle them, maybe all of you could go and rest." He said with a little- just a little he didn't need to scare the girls away now did he?- edge to his tone, "All of you must be tired from all that spying you did on us. Maybe you could do more research on these akumas."
Before either Red Hood or Red Robin could protest, Nightwing agreed but not before embarassing him.
"Alright, loverboy, make sure to give us all the deets!" With that he was gone gone in a second, his brothers following him all the while snickering.
Robin groaned in frustration and turned around. "Please, excuse those little shi-" "Hey now! You don't need to go around ruining my lil' flower's innocence."
"Excuse you but 'Angel' seems a more worthier title than 'Lil' flower"
"You don't know her well enough to say that!"
"I'm observant enough to-" "Can we just go home already, I'm tired."
Marinette looked exhausted.
"Of course, angel, we'll be at you hotel in no time."
"Whatever you say, lil' flower."
With that said they started walking to their destination peacefully. But fate had other things planned.
BAM!
The three turned around on shock.
"What was that!?"
