"You're the only girl I have my eye on so no need to worry," Jason said hugging me from behind kissing the top of my head.

"Gross," Chloe said.

"Way too cheesy," Nino agreed.

"You're just jealous. If either of you made a move on the person you like, then you could do cheesy romantic things," I said smirking at the two.

"I don't know what you're talking about," the two said at the same time.

"Anyway no costumes..." Jason started but somehow knew I was glaring at him even though he was holding me from behind. "Sorry. Not costumes."

"It's just small things for the rest of the week. You probably noticed I'm wearing a Red Hood leather jacket."

"Looks like the real deal," Jason laughed knowing it was actually his. "And you still have your water guns."

"It gets them to stop talking for a couple seconds."

"But you ran out of water 30 or so minutes yesterday," Nathaniel pointed out.

"It was actually seven minutes. And since I can't leave you guys alone without something bad happening, I don't think I can fill them up."

"That was not our fault," Nino defended.

"I'm blaming Mr. Wayne for that," Chloe said.

I felt Jason chuckle lightly. "Don't tell me Mr. Wayne is working on something super important that a villain might want to steal here and not somewhere else," I whispered to Jason.

"He totally isn't working on something important here."

"For being a smart man, Mr. Wayne is kind of an idiot."

"I think that is the worse thing I've heard you say about him."

"I have criticized his fashion choice."

"That was different."

"If you two are done with your secret conversation, it's finally time to go through security," Adrien said poking me in the shoulder.

In response, I poked his shoulder causing him to wince. "Shit, I hit it didn't I?" I asked pulling myself out of Jason's grasp.

"It's fine. You didn't mean to," Adrien replied as I looked him over.

"I saw you wince. How bad is it hurting? Your belt should have pain killers and you can use my water gun for water," I rambled.

"Bug, I'll be fine. Stop worrying."

"At least take pain killers to ease my mind."

"Fine."

While Adrien got the pills out of his belt, I pulled out my water gun. I was about to hand it over when I saw it quickly flash to a real gun. While I have held real guns before, the sudden change startled me causing me to drop it and jump back.

I kept staring at it waiting for it to change, but it stared back taunting me. I heard an eerie laugh surrounding me. It was a mixture of Scarecrow and Hawkmoth. The scene changed from the Wayne Enterprise lobby to me on top of our school's roof looking at Paris.

"Pix..." I heard Jason's voice say. It was distant as the laughter grew louder. I felt my heartbeat faster.

'This is just like earlier. It's not real. Your mind is playing tricks on you. Breath in... Breath out...' I thought to myself. I could feel my heartbeat go back to normal, but I still wasn't all there. I needed a way out.

"Pixie?" Jason said once more bringing me back to reality.

"What?" I asked now facing him.

"You ok?"

"Yeah. Just startled myself when I dropped the water guns and spaced a bit. I'm good though."

I looked around and the vision slowly disappeared. I picked up the water guns which were still in the ground. "Here. The water may taste a little plasticy."

"I don't want to drink it now," Adrien joked but still looking at me with concern.

"Come on. Let's get through security," I said grabbing both their hands dragging them behind me.

Once through, Jason pulled me to the side.

"You're seeing things aren't you?"

"Occasionally. But I'm fine."

"You need to tell Bruce what you know, so he can get the antidote."

"Later. I can't push the tour back again. We're on a tight schedule."

"For someone so smart, you're an idiot," Jason replied.

"That was my line about Mr. Wayne earlier," I joked trying to change topic.

"I'm serious Pixie. You can't keep pushing yourself like this. The toxin is strong."

"I won't tell him I know who he is, but you can tell him that I'm still affected. He'll stop by tonight as Batman and give it to me then."

Jason just sighed knowing he won't be able to change my mind about the plan that was clearly stupid.

I want these visions to go away, but I'm not ready to have that specific conversation with Mr. Wayne just yet.

"I'm not going to leave your side until then. I will suffer and go on the bus with you."

"I can't torture you like that. We can just take your bike."

"No way. If you space out like earlier, you could accidentally let go and get hurt."

"Fine, but know that I tried to save you."

"Todd, let Marinette go, so we can begin the tour," Damian said realizing his 'mistake' a couple seconds later.

"I think I'm Lil' D's favorite!" I exclaimed causing Damian to blush.

"Tt. Let's just get going Dupain-Cheng."

"Why does he keep blushing?" I whispered to Jason following behind everyone.

"You were right about being his favorite," Jason vaguely replied.

"I'm honored."

~~~~

"You seriously don't have to come," I said walking towards the bus we originally took to Wayne Enterprise.

"And leave my beautiful girlfriend all alone with the nasty toxin in her system," Jason replied.

"I guess it does give you the chance to get to know my friends."

I glanced over only to see Chloe whack Kim on the back of the head with the escrima sticks. Adrien was laughing as if it was the funniest thing he's ever seen. Nino rolled his eyes as he kept Adrien who looked like he was high from falling onto the floor.

"Adrien looks like he's going to pass out," Jason pointed out.

"He got very little sleep and is still having a caffeine crash."

"Going through a long surgery due to a metal rod being stuck in your shoulder does seem to be taking a toll on him."

"Not sure what you're talking about, but if it were true, I'd say the medication mixed with caffeine might be affecting him mentally causing Adrien to not be all there."

"Do your friends even like me?" Jason asked. He genuinely seemed concerned they may not like him. Aww, he wants their approval.

"You guys know each other but don't actually know each other. Plus they just want me to be happy after everything that's happened."

"I promise to do whatever I can to make you happy."

"You already are. Now come on. We're loading up."

As I sat down beside Jason, Adrien gave me a glare.

"You can manage," I said.

"It's betrayal at the highest level. You no longer love me. I have been replaced," Adrien dramatically replied.

"You'll always have a special place in my heart."

"What's next? No late night visits because you're too busy?"

"Drama queen. We're an odd number group. Now no one is left sitting alone."

Adrien sat across from me next to Nathaniel still glaring.

"Late night visits?" Jason asked pulling me close to hold me.

"He stops by every now and then when either of us have nightmares. You're just seeing the over dramatic side of him," I said yawning.

"Go to sleep Pix. I'll wake you up when we get to the hotel."

"No... have to be on guard..." I started but was unable to finish. I felt a kiss on the top of my head before falling asleep.

~Jason's POV~

I do not know how Marinette can put up with these idiots. I've been on this bus for only five minutes and I already want to murder someone.

"What is up with Marinette and that stranger?" a tiny blonde asked.

"I think he was a tour guide or something last week," the woman in the seat next to her replied.

"What a slut," the girl who I remembered as Lila 'whispered'.

"I know. Marinette knows him for like a week and is already trying to get into his pants," Alya commented louder making sure me and her friends could hear.

I was waiting for the teacher who obviously heard it to do something. Instead, she buried her face in a book pretending nothing was happening.

"Probably using him to get close to Bruce."

"What do you mean?" a tall man asked.

"Well, if he is a tour guide, then he must be close to Bruce somehow."

While I wanted to just let Marinette sleep, I could not sit there and listen to anymore of this. I am going to kill that women.

"I don't know what you're problem is with Marinette, but if you know what's good for you, shut your damn mouths," I threatened.

"Excuse me, you cannot talk to my students like that," their teacher snapped putting her book down.

"But they are allowed to talk about horribly about Marinette and call her all these names? What type of teacher are you?"

"I'm the one who is in charge of this trip and the reason you are even able to talk to us now." The audacity of this women.

"That means you wrote the essay that one, talked to Mr. Wayne every single day to get every thing planned to the minute, and made all the arrangements."

"Well, no. That was Marinette's job. She won, so she was in charge of everything."

"Then how the hell are you the one who made all this happen?"

"I'm her teacher," she said as if it was obvious.

"Then start fucking acting like it and do your job."

"I don't know who you think you are, but you cannot talk to me or my students like this."

"Jayjay..." I heard Marinette yawn.

"Go back to bed Pix. You should relax after everything you've been through."

"But I heard yelling."

"Blame the man you are throwing yourself at," Alya laughed.

"Funny," Marinette faked laugh along with Alya. It seemed to creep her out causing Alya to stop.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

"You were laughing, so I thought I should join. I mean calling an old friend a slut is so funny. Don't you think so Mr. Bustier?"

"No. None of this behavior is appropriate. You really should apologize Marinette."

"Now that's funny."

"I am serious."

"It really is hard to tell when you are being serious since you've become a joke yourself."

"That is enough."

"You are right. We have reached the hotel, and I have important business to discuss with Mr. Wayne. I was asked to report any questionable behavior that may occur on this trip. I believe this whole bus ride will make a very interesting email," Marinette said before walking off the bus.

"Do you really have to report this to Bruce?" I asked when we reached the elevator.

"No. I pulled a Lila and lied."

"This is why you are one of the coolest people I know," Nino said as we all entered the elevator.
