Chapter Text
It could have been another peaceful morning in Paris, but Marinette knew that since Hawkmoth turned out to be Gabriel Agreste things would not be entirely smooth a long time. The city to have let all its negativity and frustration out, the comments on the internet about the Agreste family were not friendly, they are still not friendly, but they have struggled to remain stable and not let the villain have one more victory over the city.
Her class, on the contrary, fell apart when it was discovered that Lila Rossi was working with Hawkmoth and everything has been tense, there was no drastic change how her class treated her, but she strayed strong because she's the only person who close to Adrien, whom all to reproach the behavior of a man who never cared for him. She can’t help but feel sad when she thinks about Adrien’s plight, her maternal family is too busy looking for a cure for Emelie’s condition (they didn’t even let Ladybug examine her) leaving him alone in the midst of a legal and family issue.
She's extremely surprised to go downstairs and observe Bruce Wayne (here the man who helped them stop Hawkmoth) sitting in her living room next to Adrien, who smiles uncomfortably. Her mother is serving tea to them.
“Good morning darling! Mr. Wayne was about to tell us a solution to your class problem. ” Marinette glances at the other adult, surprised at the turn of events. It’s no his obligation or responsability to take care of the situation and yet he was.
“I couldn’t help but notice that the environment at school became worse than it already was because of Hawkmoth.” Bruce accepts the cup of tea that Sabine offers him. “Thanks. ”
“Yeah, one would think that when Lila’s network fell everything would improve, but it became complicated. I don’t blame them either, I doubt they know what to do with their emotions… and we only had to deal with Akuma for three years. ”The latter is said in a thoughtful whisper.
“Yes, it's worrying how Hawkmoth managed to alter everyone’s behavior, turning the ways of coping with everything into something less healthy. Faced with this concern, I spoke with Alfred and one of my children to take you with me to the United States to finish your studies and advise you on your future as heroes. ” Adrien particularly enthusiastic about the idea of leaving the city. “We would have to discuss the details with his parents and Graham de Vanily family to obtain the necesary visas and guardianships transfers. If you agree.”
Adrien almost jumps into his place ecstatic. He never thought that the plans with Marinette at three in the morning would come in the form of a kind gentleman willing to welcome them (he doesn’t care if it's for their double life as heroes, he will take it). Sure, their plans inclued about taking all money and fleeing to Tibet, although, if he’s honest with himself, he’s not sure why they ended up deciding to go somewhere remote.
“Yes! Please, Mr. Wayne. I’m sure they will listen to you. They are my family, but they disgustingly elitist and they see me as a stain on the name even I didn't decide to be born as Gabriel’s son”. He clasps his hands together hopefully, his green eyes shining, reflecting the ghost of joy he showed when he had just become Chat Noir.
“Of course, Adrien. I'll contact my attorneys to do this. What do you say, Marinette?” Bruce smiles softly at the two young discovered about five months ago thanks to Jason who, through mysterious contact, learned that There were children saving Paris from a villain.
Marinette searches for her mother, seeking advice from her. She wants to go with them, but she doesn’t want to leave her parents. It’s a great opportunity because she would have access to a much better education than in her current school, even so, her parents…
“Honey, this is a great opportunity. Not only will you walk away from the clutches of that incompetent woman, I’m sure Mr. Wayne is very serious; you should accept, we’ll be fine. Paris will be fine, you deserve it after all these years of struggle. ” Sabine knows her daughter and the best thing for her is to achieve her dreams with nothing to stop her. Under the tutelage of a person who shows real interest in the training of the two kids, inside and outside the mask. He didn’t come offering training like Batman, he came Bruce Wayne to give them the opportunity to decide their future by having as many alternatives as possible. Is the right decision.
“Okay, Mom. I will take it, thanks k, Mr. Wayne. I'm very happy with the opportunity”. Marinette smile gratefully, beaming at the positive turn of events
It will be a great new beginning.
