Soulmate Bond

Damian's POV

I woke up and the first thing I saw was bluebell hair...Marinette... She was still asleep on my chest and the sun was about to come up..and today we have to go to school.

But...how did I even get in her bed? I gently lifted her up and placed her head back on her pillow and took off. I felt something tethering me back....like a string tied around my heart.

It felt weird but in a good way...but it was kind of hard to move. I was able to get downstairs and out of the bakery. I took in a deep breath of that fresh morning air. Smells better here than in Gotham....I sighed.

I had finally arrived back at the suite, opened the door, and to my surprise everyone was sitting on the couch...well Tim was in the kitchen drinking coffee.... Were they waiting for me?

Damian: Good morning. Why are you all still awake?

Bruce: Damian, we got a call from the school yesterday saying that you and coincidentally Marinette skipped school yesterday...-

Dick: ..Care to explain, lil'D?

Jason: You didn't do 'it' with her did you? *Tim slaps him across her face*

Damian: What...no!! Marinette was sick yesterday. I went to school, she wasn't there, I visited her, had a one-to-one chat with her brother and took care of her. And I must've fallen asleep over at her house. End. Of. Story.

Tim: Is cupcake ok?

Damian: When I left, she was still asleep. Her temperature went down so I guess she'll be fine. I'm going to take a nap before my alarm is scheduled to go off. Do not disturb me. *door slams*

Jason: Ok...something definitely happened. He seemed....different...somehow....

Dick: I have to agree. He actually told us what happened without denying it...or us having to force it out of him.

Tim: So do we just assume that Marinette had something to do with it?

Bruce: What are you boys going on about?

Batboys: You wouldn't understand. ~~~~~~~~~~

RING RING RING!!!

My alarm...time to get ready for school. I did my usual routine and went outside for breakfast. Everything was already set on the table. I sat down in my chair and began eating. Why is everyone staring at me...?

Damian: What?

Bruce: Damian, I didn't give you permission to get a tattoo and yet you have one on your back-hand.

Jason: Woah demon spawn...you're worst than me...

Damian: I don't remember myself getting one and it wasn't there yesterday.

Dick: Lil'D, why'd you pick an Angel? As your tattoo design...?

Tim: I thought out of everything it would've been a demon or maybe some katanas but an Angel....that seems beneath you.

Damian: Would you all stop pestering me. I'm leaving.

Those nuisance....they give me a headache. I was on my way to school when I saw Marinette and Lila not to far walking behind her. That sausage-haired bitch....

She had stopped Marinette and they were arguing about something. That's when Lila grabbed her hand...I felt my blood boil to the point where I was now running across the street.

Damian: What's going on here?

Lie-la: Oh, Damian. Good morning. I was just telling Marinette that tattoos aren't allowed in school yet she has the nerve to get one.

Damian: You didn't need to get physical with her. Marinette let's get to class.

Marinette: O-Ok Dami.... don't pull so hard...

A flash of light was seen gaining everyone's attention after I had grabbed Marinette's hand. When the light died down, we both realized that we had matching tattoos...well I had an Angel and she had a demon.

We both got up and when we tried to let go of each other's hands....we couldn't. We pulled but to no avail. What the....

Alya: No way girl, you found your soulmate and got your soulmate bond...amazing!!

Nino: Congrats dudette. But didn't Lila say that you were her soulmate dude?

Alya: And I don't think you could get bonded to two girls...so who is it really?

Damian: It's obviously not Lie-la...she lied about all that.

Alix: Is that true, Lila?

With all the commotion everyone in the front school/ parking area surrounded us. Lila looked so overwhelmed she just stood there...I wanted to laugh so badly.

I parted a way through the gathering of students with Marinette following behind...like if she really had a choice...and made our way into the classroom. We sat down in silence for a while until the bell rang.

Everyone came back to the class and last but not least Ms. Bustier as well after them. Everyone was in class...and surprise surprise....except for Lila.

Bustier: Ok class. Lila has called in sick today so she'll be missing the field trip.

Alya: Madame, What field trip?

Bustier: The school got permission from your parents already but we'll be going to one of the Wayne Enterprise buildings stationed here in Paris. Damian's brothers will be our tour guides.

Class: Woah/ So Cool/ Can't Wait...

Bustier: We'll be leaving at break and returning at lunch. I'll be here at break to get you guys ready for the trip. So try not to be late. Now let's get down to class.

Marinette and I have been holding hands for the past three classes. My left and her right hand never let a breath pass, in fact....the grip got tighter. She was able to write with her left hand and well I was a right hander.

Damian: I didn't know you were doubled handed, Angel.

Marinette: Oh..yeah. When I was 'you know who' the akuma kinda disabled my right hand so I had to make do with my left.

Damian: Wow, that creative....

RING RING!!

The bell had gone which meant it was break time. The entire class piled into the bus and were on their way to the building. Damian however felt uneasy...

They could see the building from where they were and drove up to the bus vacancy parking lot and exited the vehicle and that's when they saw three handsome boys with smiles on their faces.

Ms. Bustier lead the children towards the boys and they introduced themselves.

Dick: Good morning. Welcome to Wayne Enterprises. My name is Dick Grayson and these are my brothers....

Jason: Good day, my name's Jason Todd.

Tim: And I'm Timothy Drake. Please, this way.

The teacher once again lead them through the door into the lobby with the boys waiting behind to talk to a 'ready to explode' Damian...

Jason: Woah demon spawn, I didn't know you were so clingy to pixie pop. Do you hate that Adrien boy that much?

Damian: Todd....

Tim: C'mon Jason, you know he's capable of loving someone. Isn't that right, demon?

Damian: Drake....

Marinette: Umm, Damian is on the verge of going off and I think you guys will be the ones getting scolded on his behalf. *sighs and raises their hands* It's our soulmate bond. We don't have a choice and we can't let go either. So we're stuck like this.

Dick: That explains a lot. I wonder what Bruce would say...

Damian: Grayson...

Marinette saw how Damian was acting. Her eyes widened at the look of his face; they were red at the cheeks. Poor thing...he must be embarrassed...Marinette pulled his hand inside to catch with the others in the lobby.

When everyone was together, they split up into three groups for each brother and was off. Fortunately Damian was in the group with Dick as the tour guide. Thank god, the only tolerable brother I have..he muttered.

Each group saw the entire building and was taught about the importance of business and how to make money while doing it and so on.

They had all met up in the lunch room to take a break. Damian, Marinette and the batboys sat on the same table to discuss some very pressing matters.

Dick: Ok, Bruce was doing some surveillance and reconnaissance at the banquet after talking to all the celebs in Paris. The ones on the top of the list were Gabriel Agreste, The Mayor even though he wasn't there, Bob Ross and even....Lila Rossi.

Marinette: Why is Lila on the list. Hawk Moth is a guy?

Jason: There's reason to believe she might be Mayura or maybe a helper on the side.

Damian: What does my father think?

Tim: Most likely suspect...Gabriel Agreste and his assistant, as Mayura.

Marinette: If that's so...Then we'll need to find a way and quick to defeat him before it's too late. Any ideas?

Damian: I have one. Maybe one of us needs to get akumatized...on purpose...

Jason: *sigh* It could work...

Tim: We'll have to ask Bruce...

Dick: But it isn't a bad plan.

Damian: I volunteer..-

Marinette's POV

Let...one of them....get akumatized...on purpose..? Are they nuts *gets flashbacks of almost all her family and friends getting akumatized* No...No...not again....no...

Marinette: *slams fist on the table* No....*pants* Not again.

And as she said that she got up and stormed off....her bond broken and their hands parted the other. The tattoo was no longer there. Damian in shock as he didn't know a thing was possible.

The entire class watched as she left the room. Damian got up to follow her with his brothers after him. They searched the entire building but to no avail.

The last place to look was the roof.

Marinette's POV

How could they....how could they even think that....? They didn't even think that maybe something could go wrong. Are they nuts?!?!!

Tikki: Are you ok Marinette? You need to calm down. Or else..-

Marinette: Tikki, how could they think that...getting akumatized on purpose isn't an easy feet. Neither is the ability to control yourself in that state. I can't stand the thought of another getting akumatized because of me...it's...it's...unacceptable!!

I heard the light flutter of a certain black butterfly on the roof of the building. Tikki tried to snap me out of it but...I had other plans. I'm sorry Tikki...*takes off earrings* I can't let anyone else get hurt any longer.

Tikki flew in and took the earrings and headed straight for the door when it was swung open by the batboys and Bruce too. They saw Tikki with tears falling down her cheeks and earrings in her hands.

Their eyes wide and their mouths gasps as they turned their gaze to Marinette being engulfed by purple-black bubbles...

Damian's POV

SHIT!! Marinette!!
