~Jason's POV~

"Holy shit! What was in that?" I asked Batman.

"It was the normal formula," he replied looking at the limp girl in my arms.

"That is not the normal formula. None of us have ever had that reaction to it. Are you sure Red Robin did everything right?"

"It was tweaked slightly due to the new formula that Scarecrow used, but it is very similar."

"I swear to God... If anything happens to Mari, it will be on you and Red Robin," Adrien growled checking Marinette's pulse.

"She will be ok right?" Robin asked also by her side.

"Of course," he replied now sounding a little uncertain. "You two get her to bed. She'll be much better in the morning."

"I hope you are right Father."

I picked Marinette up bridal style and began walking back to her room with Adrien following.

"Like Blondie said, it's on you if any harm comes to her, not Scarecrow," I said.

"Do you need any help Jason?" Adrien asked once I put Marinette in her bed.

"I got it. I'll send Tikki if I do need any help and update you in the morning."

"Take care of her," he instructed before leaving the room not bothering to acknowledge the fact I knew Marinette's biggest secret.

I closed the curtains before removing my helmet. Marinette looked pale but was burning up.

"She'll be alright Jason," Tikki said flying onto my shoulder. "Marinette is strong."

"It won't stop me from worrying about her. You heard how much pain she was in when the antidote was injected. No one has ever had such a reaction."

"I can feel her health increasing. The toxin is fading. Getting rid of the rest of it has just made her weak. No offense but you look like you also need to sleep."

Tikki flew to Marinette's side as I got dressed into more comfortable clothes.

"Everything will be better in the morning," I whispered in her ear pulling the blankets over us. "Goodnight Pixie." I cuddled up next to her not wanting to let go. I gave Marinette a kiss on the top of the head and closed my eyes drifting off.

~~~

"What the fuck Dupain-Cheng!?" A voice shrieked waking me up.

"Go away Chloe. I'm trying to sleep," Marinette muttered sinking more into my arms.

"I came in here to wake your lazy ass up only to see you in bed with your boyfriend."

"Exactly. I was asleep."

"No you need to wake up and explain why your boyfriend is in your bed," Nino added standing behind Chloe.

"I was sick and needed someone to take care of me."

"And you couldn't grab one of us?"

"How did you even sneak him in? I would have woken up if you used the door," Chole asked.

"The window. Now go away Mom and Dad. I need to get ready. I think you'll like where we're going Nino."

"Don't try to distract me."

"I'm not distracting you. I was telling you to get out so I can get ready to go to a place you'd like."

I felt someone grabbing the blanket at our feet getting ready to pull it off.

"You really don't want to do that," I warned.

I heard Marinette giggle knowing exactly why I said that. Whoever it was didn't listen and pulled the blanket off of us.

"Shit!" Someone exclaimed as they threw the blanket back on us.

"He warned you," Marinette sang out.

"How was I supposed to know he was just going to be in his boxers?"

"Your friends do not know what boundaries are," I whispered.

"Are you all going to leave now so we can get ready for the day?" Marinette asked laughing at the situation.

"We'll leave but this isn't over," Nino told us.

"Yes sir," I responded before he shut the door.

"First Bruce and now your friends. You get me in a lot of trouble."

"At least Mr. Wayne will go easy on you compared to my friends."

"You think your friends are worse than the man who goes out as a bat to beat up criminals," I said getting out of bed.

"They're some of the craziest people you'll meet. Trust me when I say crazy and lectures don't go well together. I think someone was bit last time," Marinette replied putting on a black shirt with Red Hood symbol on it.

"How much Red Hood stuff do you have?"

"Enough for a week. Today is just going to be simple though with the shirt and jacket. However my Red Hood will probably have to sneak out the window to avoid my friends from seeing his uniform."

"I have it all in this bag I'm stealing from you so no one sees it. I can't exactly leave your room dressed as Red Hood."

"I'll see you tonight?" Marinette asked as I opened the window.

"Of course Pixie," I replied giving her a kiss before I jumped out the window.

~Marinette's POV~

I closed the window behind Jason before walking out my bedroom door.

"Everyone ready?" I asked to the big group who were standing right outside the door.

"No. We're waiting on someone else," Kim replied.

"Who?"

"The man who was in your bed all night."

"Oh Jason? He already left."

"Did he seriously sneak out the window?" Alix chuckled.

"No, he magically went through walls. Of course he did."

"Too chicken to face us?" Nino questioned.

"It's too early to mix a lecture and all your craziness. You don't have to worry though. Adrien knew he was here."

"Don't drag me into this. You know I wasn't really supportive of the idea in the first place," Adrien said.

"You knew?"

"Yeah, I knew Nino. There wasn't anything I could do to stop their little sleepover."

"Why are you guys making such a big deal about this? You knew I had spent the night at his place already."

"You weren't dating then."

"There's also the fact that the two of you were only wearing underwear this time," Chloe added.

"I sleep hot and need clothes that were breathable. Now let's go. We have a movie set to visit."

"Movie set? Which one?" Nino asked completely forgetting the previous conversation.

"It's a surprise. Technically they are done shooting, but Mr. Wayne has connections. We'll get to talk to the director, actors, and other film crew members. They even left a set up for us."

"Let's go!" With that Nino was out the door.

"You heard the man," Adrien said chasing after Nino.

"I bet 10 dollars Lila will say that she helped create the plot," Kim said once we reached the lobby.

"No it's how she knows all the actors and helped them reach stardom," Nathaniel replied.

"If it's an action movie, then Lila obviously created the stunts," Chloe added.

"You're all wrong. Lila was actually supposed to be the leading actress, but some medical condition prevented her from it," Adrien said hearing our conversation.

"Lila once dated the lead actor, but the actress came along ruining their true love," Nino theorized.

"All interesting theories. Let's make it interesting. Whoever's lie she says wins the secret schedule for what we are doing for the rest of our trip," I said smiling.

"Oh I'm definitely winning now."

"Slow down Kim. We haven't established rules. There's no interfering and trying to get her to say her lie. Lila needs to come up with it herself."

~~~

"I can't believe you were able to get us on an actual movie set," Rose gushed.

"You can't tell anyone but I was actually supposed to be the leading actress in this movie. The leading actor and I had a connection that made me perfect for the role. Our romance was like nothing the director had seen before. Unfortunately I wasn't able to be in the movie due to a medical condition, so they replaced me. In fact, that same actress is why I'm no longer with him. It hurt, but I can't help but be happy for the man I once loved," Lila lied with an evil smile on the whole time.

"You were going to star in a big movie!"

"You dated a movie star."

"I can't believe she stole him from you."

The sheep's voice blended together as I stood there in shock. We had just got off the bus and Lila had already said two of the predicted lies.

"What type of movie is it?" Jukela questioned.

"I'm not sure if they changed the plot I helped write, but it is supposed to be an action movie with stunts I created."

"Girl, your life is so exciting. Writing a plot along with creating stunts... I wish my life was like yours," Alya said eating up every word that came out of Lila's mouth.

"I might be able to help you. I mean the actors weren't famous until I came along. I helped them become the people you know today."

"Holy..." Kim started.

"Shit," Alix finished.

"It's like she overheard our conversation this morning," Nino said trying not to laugh.

"Does this mean we all won?" Adrien asked me.

"I think the better question is how old is the actor she 'dated'?" Nathaniel questioned.

"22..." I muttered in disbelief of the whole situation in front of me.

"She's currently dating a 12 year old and has dated someone who is now 22..."

"I just can't with her," Nino laughed.

"This is too funny," Adrien joined in Nino's laughter.

"I bet someone is going to slip and say something causing Lila to either say she lied or dig a deeper hole," Kim bet.

"If she's caught, then Lila will say she thought they were going to a different movie set," Nathaniel pointed out.

"But it says the movie title right there."

"Why did we expect Lila to stop with one lie when it came to this?" I said.

"At least we'll get access the secret schedule Marinette has been keeping from us," Adrien squealed.

~Jason's POV~

I stood in front of the door to Bruce's study not wanting to go in. The moment I entered my apartment to drop off my uniform I had gotten a text from Bruce to come to the manor. I sighed before opening the door to get this lecture over with.

"You wanted to see me B," I said standing in the doorway.

"I suggest you close the door and sit down," Bruce replied.

I closed the door to keep prying eyes away but refused to sit down.

"Am I seriously going to get a lecture about having my girlfriend spend the night at my apartment from the man who is literally known for being a playboy?"

"Glad to know you are aware of the reason you're here."

"It's not a big deal. I went to check on her after your son called her a gold digger. We went on a walk to get some air when part way she felt dizzy. By then we were closer to my place than the hotel. I took her there with the full intention of letting her sleep in my bed while I slept on the couch. Even though she was asleep, Marinette literally grabbed me and flipped me onto the bed. You'd be surprised on how strong her grip is. In fact, I couldn't get out of it, so we shared the bed. Nothing happened."

"You didn't think to make me aware that Marinette had fallen ill while she is supposed to by under my supervision. Her parents entrusted me to watch her and keep here safe while her class was and Gotham."

"I get it, but Marinette didn't want anyone to worry about her. I'm not going to go behind her back and do the opposite of what she asked."

"A student being ill is something I need to know no matter what they ask!"

"She was fine in the morning. Marinette just had low blood sugar after she left early from the very same dinner where she was insulted! You're lucky she even forgave Damian over that."

"He messed up and got punished for his actions."

"Did he get yelled at for insulting a student who is in your care like I am for taking care of that same student?"

"I don't want to fight you Jason."

"All evidence to the contrary."

"I get you care for her but you need to be smart. What would her parents think?"

The same people who have been distancing themselves from her because of lies they heard?

"Am I done here?"

"We need to talk about her and Adrien knowing your identity."

"She figured it out when Adrien was with her. That's how he knows."

"If she figured out at, then she figured everyone else out and is lying about it."

"If Marinette does know, then shouldn't you be happy she is lying about it? It shows how she can keep a secret."

"This is serious Jason."

"Then go be the 'world's greatest detective' and find out yourself. I'm out of here. Babs said she had something on the case for me. I'll see you Sunday night when MDC comes to do fittings."

"Wait," Bruce said but I cut him off by slamming the door behind me.

"I take it your talk with Master Bruce didn't go well," Alfred commented when I passed him in the hallway.

"They never do. See you later Alfred," I replied making my way to the door.
