Up-grade
iHi I am back and ready to write! I took a week long mental health break and I am excited to get back to work, but I am trying to decide whether Marinette should be a meta or magic. The basic powers will be the same but the way she uses them will change.

{They were fighting again. Jason promised to protect her, but what was worth protecting? They said she was worth less than dirt. Maybe they were right? Maybe it would be easier for Jason if she just dies…}
“Jay…” was the whisper that died on her tongue as she woke up from another restless slumber. Looking at the clock it showed 6:30 a.m.. ‘ Maybe I can make some breakfast.”
It would make you useful …for once.
‘Maybe I will make pancakes and eggs.’
{It was a sunday morning and the house smelled good for once Mom had made pancakes and Jay was busy eating a stack of them.
“Nettie! Come eat some of these, they are delicious!”
“You sound surprised!” replied Cathrine Mom in a teasing tone. The life in her eyes caused Nettie to giggle. She should have known it was all going to change}
Heading to the kitchen Marinette began to make the pancakes since they would take a little longer to prepare. Once they were cooking she began to make the eggs. Right when she had finished Claude walked into the kitchen.
“Hi Marinette, what did you make? Whatever it is it smells amazing!”
“Pancakes and eggs. I also made some coffee if you would like, and thank you.”
Claude took a bite of his pancakes, which were drenched in maple syrup, and said “Wow. These are amazing”
“ Thank you.” replied Marinette.
“Would you be ok going out to get school supplies with me?”asked Claude.
“Sure I need to pick up some fabrics anyway, and I need to get a few other school supplies.” replied Marinette.
Once they were done eating, by that point Ms. Kathrin had gotten up and also liked Marinette’s pancakes, they got dressed to go out and grabbed their stuff. Marinette was wearing a red crop top with black accents under a black, faux leather jacket. She had on ripped, black jeans and combat boots with embroidered red roses on the side. She had a back, crossbody purse that had a small first aid kit, her wallet, a retractable bo staff, etc.. When she walked into the living room she saw Claude was already ready to go, and was wearing the exact same clothes as yesterday. She was not angry, just disappointed.
“Ready to go?” said Claude.
“Always” replied Marinette with no hesitation.
“Perfect. What store do you want to go to first?” asked Claude.
So they left to begin their shopping adventure what a creative name.
~Time Skip (because I am lazy)~
“Damm, remind me to never ask the difference between fabrics again.”
“It is my fault you can’t tell the difference between cotton and polymer fabrics!”
“This is why I do acting. It has much less scary people.”
Sticking her tongue out at Claude marinette replied “Me … I’m an angel, thank you very much!”
“I’ll believe it when I see it.” replied Claude just as teasingly.
Before Marinette could reply her and Claude were pulled into an alley.
You’re so stupid. This is Gotham for god's sake! You idiot. Your actions are going to cause the death of the one person who actually likes you. It is going to be just like Jason. It is all your fault-
“Hey Girly! Hand me your purse and we shouldn’t have any trouble” said the apparent robber.
He was holding a knife and was double her size. She could take him. So she feigned grabbing her bag with one hand, and used the other to grab her bo staff. As soon as it was out of her bag she extended it and proceeded to stand in front of Claude.
“If you want it you're going to have to go through me.” said Marinette.
“Doesn't matter to me.” said the robber. (Robber seems awkward. We are going to call him Robbert.)
Marinette used her staff to knock the knife out of his hand. She flipped over his head and hit him from behind effectively knocking him out.
“What- How- you know what I’m not going to ask.” said Claude
“Did I forget to mention that I could fight?” asked Marinette causing her to get a deadpan stare from Claude which in turn, caused her to giggle. “I have some zip ties. Would you help me tie him up?”
“Anything for the fashion goddess Marinette.” replied Claude.
Once they got home Claude and Marinette did the reasonable thing after being attacked they ate.
“Hey Marinette can I call you Mari?”
“Sure”
“Hey Mari?”
“What is it?” asked the raven haired girl.
“Why did you come? I mean it is obvious you didn’t do all the things that report said you did, and if you were that bad you wouldn’t have saved me.”
“That is a long story. I am sorry, but I don’t think I am ready to share it yet.”
“It’s ok, take your time.” replied Claude which caused Marinette to stare at him surprised. “What? Did I say something wrong?”
“No. You are the first person to have said something like that to me in a long time.” replied Marinette looking away.
With those words Claude realized what about Marinette had made him get attached so quickly. He really does find all the ones who are hurt the most. Weirdly enough they all have blue eyes.
