Chapter 90

Marinette's P.O.V:

"Oh my God! I hit the bullseye!" I began to hop up and down with excitement. "Did you see that, Damian?"

"I did, Angel. And on your sixth try. Quite impressive." He smiled and had proudness in his eyes.

"These were recording right?" I point to one of the cameras. "You think Bruce will see?"

"I'm sure my father will." He nods. "Think you can do it again?"

"Only one way to find out, right?"

To no one's surprise, I hit the bullseye from here on out. After a half an hour of switching up targets from stationary to moving, we both eventually decided to call it quits.

"You always surprise me on how quickly you learn things, Angel." Damian opened up the hidden door to let us back out into the training room.

"I'm still not that great at science though and many people have tried to teach me. So, don't go and tell everyone that I'm great at everything, you hear?" I chuckled.

"Will do, Angel. I'll just tell everyone you are bad at science instead." He smirked at me before putting the sword back up on the wall.

"Don't do that! People will think I'm stupid or something."

"Is someone calling you stupid?" Jason snuck up behind me to ask.

"Uh, no. I hope not." I turned around to look at him, not even fazed by his sudden appearance anymore. "Is everyone done?"

"Yeah. Kori wasn't feeling too well so she ended it a bit early though so Bruce, Tim, Dick, Selina and I are just now calling it quits. I was just about to come and get you two but you guys beat me to it."

"Is something wrong with Kori?" I asked with concern.

"Something about a stomach ache? She said she was fine though and to not worry. That woman is so cheerful though, that she didn't even look that upset about it."

"Oh, well that's good. I hope she feels better soon."

"Oh, Marinette." Bruce walked up to me. "I wanted to give you a heads up. Kori wanted to tell you herself but she needed to go get some rest so she asked me to tell you since you will be here tomorrow. Kori invited over Raven and Beast Boy for a few days and they will be here around lunch time tomorrow. She wants to introduce you to them."

"I'm going to meet more of the Titans? How exciting!" I smiled up at the billionaire.

"Glad you think so." Bruce smiled back. "Well I think it's about time we all took some showers and went to bed. Some of us have work in school in the morning."

"But not us, right?" Jason wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "I get to hang out with my favorite sister."

"I'll be working on my dress all day until our guest get here though. Hope you won't be too bored with that." Everyone began to walk to the exit.--------"How come we always sleep in my room now?" I asked when I stepped out of my bathroom to see Damian laying in my bed as usual.

"Well we could go to my room but I usually let Titus in the bed with me so it might be a little cramped." He shrugged.

"You're right." I giggled as I climbed in bed with Damian. "That dog is bigger than I am."

"It's not his fault you are so small." Damian pulled my tiny frame closer to him.

"Well it's also not my fault either. I was just born this way." I softly rested my head on his chest.

"School tomorrow is going to be weird without you."

"I know. Do you think your classmates will say something to you?" I looked up at him.

"I hope not. I really don't want to answer their prying questions."

"You don't have to if you don't want to. Just try and be nice about it."

"Be nice, huh? I think that might freak them out even more."

"Yeah, I guess they wouldn't expect that from the 'Ice Prince of Gotham'. Just don't make anybody cry."

"I'll try my best."---------"Master Damian, Miss Marinette." Alfred knocked yet again with his daily wake-up call. "Breakfast will be ready soon. Please get ready."

"Ugh..." I moaned.

"You can sleep in, Angel. You don't have to get up so early." Damian said as he slid out of bed.

"No." I sat up. "The sooner I get started on my dress, the sooner I'll finish it. I don't want to rush it last minute. Plus, I have a day planned with Jason and a day planned with some of my classmates. That only leaves today, tomorrow and Wednesday."

"I guess you're right. I'll meet you out in the hall?"

"Yep." I finally crawled out of bed. "If Plagg starts to bother you again I would just ignore him."

"Oh, right." Damian looked down at the ring on his finger that he almost forgot about. "I haven't seen him in a while. Should I be worried?"

"No." Tikki spoke up from across the room. "I saw him about ten minutes before Alfred knocked on the door. He said he wanted to look at your sock drawers?"

"What? Why?" Damian looked over at the kwami.

"Because it's Plagg." Tikki, Kaalki, and I said at the same time.

"I would go check on him anyways." I chuckled. "See you in the hall."

After Damian left my room, I pulled out a nice baby pink and grey striped skater dress along with my knee length grey socks with simple black flats and quickly put them on. Going to the bathroom to brush my teeth and hair, I decided to take a card out of Harley's book and put my hair into high pigtails for once. Finding that I actually liked the look, I sent a quick selfie to Harley with a text the read: "Stole your style for today. What do you think?"

After the message sent, I finally left my bedroom to meet up with Damian in the hall.

"Hey Dami. Hey Plagg." I waved at the two before grabbing Damian's hand and walking towards the dining room. "You two ready to go to school today?"

"Oh, yeah." Plagg nodded. "I can't wait to see how this kid acts when you aren't around."

"Tell me all about it, okay?" I giggled.

Damian just shook his head. "I though you said not to encourage him."

"Hey, he's not doing anything wrong. He just wants to observe. Plus, he knows how to stay hidden. He would spend the majority of his day inside Adrien's bag or front pocket you know."

"I know. He's already claimed a side pocket in my bag already." Damian pulled out a dining room chair for me to sit on and pushed it in for me before going to sit in his own chair.

"Good morning, you two." Kori smiled at the two of us .

"Good morning, Kori. Feeling better this morning?" I asked as I made my plate of food while Jason and Tim impatiently watched.

"Oh, yes. I feel great. Am I right in assuming Bruce told you about Raven and Gar?"

"Gar? Is that Beast Boy's real name?" I questioned.

"It's actually Garfield." Dick said. "But yes, that is Beast Boy."

"So is Raven her real name?" I asked after swallowing a mouthful of food.

"No, it would actually be Rachel but she doesn't like to be called that."

"I feel like you shouldn't be telling me all of this." I giggled.

"Marinette," Bruce smiled at me. "you are part of our family now. You have given us no reason not to trust you."

"I know. This is just information I never thought I would know. I still can't wrap my head around it." I said honestly.

"And I can't wrap my head around the fact that de- I mean Damian has a soulmate. Especially one so sweet and nice. Yet here we are."

"I like it." Kori nodded. "It's like you earth people say. They are Yin and Yang."

"Destruction and Creation." Tim added.

"You are correct, Tim." Tikki nodded from her place on the table. "They were made to balance each other out but they are also similar enough to find common interests."

"You all better hurry up and finish your food if you want to leave on time." Alfred spoke up.

"Ah, yes. Thank you, Alfred." Bruce nodded at the butler.
