I lay in my bed for half an hour before accepting the fact that I wasn't going to sleep. So instead I decided to go to the Batcave. After some digging, I found Marinette's file.

Name: Marinette Dupain Cheng

Nationality: Chinese/French/Italian

Parents: Sabine Cheng (Baker) Tom Dupain (Baker)

Other known family: Gina Dupain (Grandma) Roland Dupain (Grandpa) Wang Cheng (Great uncle)

Occupation: Student of Collège Françoise Dupont, Paris Currently in 12 Grade (a/n in this story she is 17 and cause of French schooling that would mean she is in 12th Grade)

Extra information: Marinette has been accused of physical and cyber bullying, reportedly pushing an Italian student in her class named Lila Rossi down a set of stairs, sending death threat messages to Lila Rossi and theft of jewellery from Lila Rossi, motive being jealousy. She was expelled from the school but let back in when Lila Rossi apologised, claiming she had a rare lying disease, causing her to say and do things she doesn't mean.

 The information she had told them was true. But this Lila Rossi girl...Being a vigilante, I could read people very well, and even though Marinette was a bit harder to read, considering how closed of she was, I could easily tell that Marinette would never bully anyone. Let alone push a girl down a flight of stairs and steal from her. A rare lying disease? please. Anyone with eyes could see this was utter bullshit. Could this be the reason she decided to move away from Paris? When she first got there every time they asked her about her school she would vaguely answer or change the subject. She obviously didn't like talking about it. I'll discuss it with my family tomorrow I decided. Feeling proud of my night-time detective work, I went to bed.

I woke up around 5 in the morning today. 5 straight hours of sleep! 

"Good morning Marinette" a happy Tikki said.

"Good morning my Tikki" I replied with a smile.

"You seem happy, it's.. nice. I haven't seen you like this in a while!"

"y'know Tikki, for once in almost 4 years, I feel happy. No Lila or akumas to worry about or anything."

At that , I got out of bed and got ready for the day. I wore a pink hoodie with some black ripped jeans, with my hair in a ponytail.

I checked my phone and saw at least 10 calls from Chloe. Shoot. I completely forgot to call her! I called Chloe and heard, 

"MARINETTE DUPAIN CHENG HOW DARE YOU FORGET TO CALL ME DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRIED I WAS????"

After 5 mins of calming Chloe down and telling her what had happened the day before, (what the hell you're staying with the Waynes???), I dropped the call, in a very good mood indeed.

It was 5:30 when she stepped out of the room and walked down to the kitchen. Alfred was in the dining room setting the table, so she didn't see her. The next half an hour went by in a blur. By 6:15 she had made breakfast, hell it was more of a buffet: bacon and eggs, croissants, pain au chocolates, pancakes, scrambled eggs and muffins. She hadn't even noticed the crowd growing behind her, watching her in awe.

Alfred pov

I had just come back from setting the table when I saw Marinette in the kitchen. She was the daughter of 2 bakers, and her uncle was a world famous chef with a restaurant in Shanghai, so I wasn't worried. I knew she wouldn't mess up my kitchen. If it had been Jason I would have dragged him out heels kicking if I had to. I felt a small smile on my face as I went to make sure the rest of the family was awake.

After being woken up by Alfred, I came down around 6 in the morning to see blueberry in the kitchen. Why I am not allowed in the kitchen still escapes me, how was I supposed to know a blender needs a lid??? She was expertly flipping pancakes while simultaneously removing freshly-baked croissants from the big microwave. Oh wait that's called an oven? Since when? It's basically just a bigger microwave though right? No? God life is messed up.

The rest of them came down a couple minutes later with similar expressions. When she turned around she let out a surprised yelp and asked, "What are you all doing just standing there?"

Nobody really knew what to say to that so they just shrugged. Suddenly Alfred came out of nowhere like he usually does, and said, "do you need any help with the plates Marinette?"

"yes please Alfred" she replied shyly, there were quite a lot.

He took 2 plates of the table and took them to the dining table. Marinette on the other hand, took 5 plates at a time, one balanced perfectly on her head, holding 1 in each hand and balancing 1 on each arm. Even Damian looked at her interestedly with a raised brow.

Just as an eager Dick was about to bite into his muffin 'ring' the doorbell rang.

"Oh come on" he said annoyed as he put his muffin down with much difficulty and went to the door. 

"Hello Master Bruce, you must be tired, please come in. Breakfast is on the table"

"Thanks Alfred, organising school trips is actually a lot harder than it looks. I slept up in my office at W.E. . Thank god I got that bed installed. Hey boys" he said. 'He is clearly sleep deprived' thought Marinette just as he saw her.

"Ah you must be Marinette, Alfred informed me that you would be staying with us, as he shook her hand.

"Yes, it's an honour to meet you Mr Wayne" she replied shyly. "Please, call me Bruce"

Then they all walked to the table, in Jason's case ran.

And just as Jason was about to bite into his precious muffin, you guessed it, the doorbell rang.

"CAN SOMEONE NOT RING THE DOORBELL FOR 5 FUCKING SECONDS-"

"Language Master Jason."

"Yeah whatever" he grumbled.

This time the one and only Selina Kyle walked through the door. 

"Hello my kittens-" then she spotted marinette and pounced. 

"WHO IS THIS CUTIE!?"  She shrieked, attacking her in a bear hug. Marinette squealed in surprise and answered, "I'm Marinette"

"Why don't you join us for breakfast Miss Selina? It's on the table" 

Everyone started easting ('about time!' said Jason) and finally ate his muffin.

"You sure made a big breakfast today Alfred, did you know we were coming?" asked Bruce.

"Actually Master Bruce, Marinette made breakfast today, I didn't really do a thing." he said smiling. Bruce looked quite impressed. "Blueberry, you're cooking breakfast every day." said Dick, satisfied. "My pleasure", she said, smiling.

Just then I could feel something soft on my foot. I bent down to see what it was and saw a little black cat. I picked him up and he snuggled into my hoodie and purred softly, and I kissed his soft little head.

Damian pov

I started eating the bacon and eggs- it wasn't bad. I noticed Marinette duck under the table and come out with Alfred the Cat purring in her arms. I was actually surprised, he never took a liking to anyone that fast. I could feel myself getting a bit annoyed at him when marinette kissed his forehead -omg you're getting jealous of a cat pull yourself together Damien why do you even care??

In the midst of all this, he didn't notice Selina staring back and forth between them with a sly smirk on her face. Oh the demon found an angel for a soulmate, now all she had to do was sit back and watch their story unfold.

"Alfred, I'm going to the Post Office, I'll be back soon." Marinette called, holding a pile of boxes of completed commissions.

"Would you like for me to drive you there?" 

"No thank you Alfred, I got a ride" she said, motioning to her car.

"Well come back soon Marinette, Master Bruce wanted to take the family out to dinner."

"Course Alfred" she smiled and drove of.

"Master Tim I can see you no more coffee"

"Fuck"

"Language Master Tim"
