Summary: just a short one shot of the class in Gotham, everyone, other than my favorite 3, have stopped being friends with Marinette. Too bad because the class is targeted by many villains when the bluenette and the othet three of her friends aren't with the class. Probably has to do with how she's related to a certain mobster...and the honorary niece of Joker...as well as other villains close to Oswald.
From my headcanons 1 and 2
Marinette sighs as she ruffles her hair, it felt greasy that day much to her annoyance. A few strands fell on her eyes and she rolls her eyes before brushing it and using a bit of hairspray to make it into a mowhawk.
Chloé eyed the bluenette and smirked, "bad hair day princess penguin?" she teased playfully.
Ever since the two were little and became friends, Chloé would mention to the rest of their friends that Mari was similar to a penguin. To which Mari tried to deny but one point to how she liked shiny things and easily got distracted by rocks and with how her pixie hair looked well...she kinda did look like a penguin.
Which was hilarious to her parents since she was basically Oswald Cobblepot's half niece.
Although her friends didn't know that, only Tikki because the kwami saw a picture of Oswald and Mari and questioned Mari.
Except Chloé's father, he got curious about Marinette's last name. So if he saw The Penguin's name up with who his father was well he kept it to himself and worked out that Chloé being friends with Marinette was better than not being her friend.
Oddly enough her half grandmother wore the mouse miraculous way before she had Oswald. She was a good one as well.
She was also one of the few who wore more than one miraculous. Poor thing. It would explain how she changed drastically after she left Oswald's father.
She wondered if she should tell uncle Oswald that but decided against it because it wasn't her place to do so.
Besides, she wasn't sure if her uncle wanted to hear about his mother. It still hurt him to talk about her.
She fixed her leather jacket as she looked in the mirror. She wore a purple skirt, black leggings, a black button up shirt with a red rose stitched in the with a black tie with a green question mark and black flats with a bit of green lining.
The combination of subtle colors were just her showing her uncle she deeply loved him and Edward. They were her favorite villain couple.
Her pixie hair was in a small mowhawk while she had a bit of strands down so to act as bangs. She didn't have the faintest clue why she prefered her hair short but with her cheekbones and if she did her make up good enough she could easily pass as a female Oswald.
Although she didn't have his nose. Or his limp, she really should ask Tikki if she could heal his poor knee. No matter what Fish said she still was weary of the woman who claimed herself to be Mari's godmother.
Chloé wore a black and yellow sundress with a white jacket that had a yellow bee in it with black flats as well.
Adrien walked in and smiles brightly at seeing his friends dressed and cooed at how adorable they looked. Adrien just wore a black and red hoodie with black ripped jeans and converse, just casual to be comfortable.
Nathaniel wore his usual outfit but had a black beanie on.
All four were up early before the rest of the class so as not to be "accidentally" forgotten.
It was their first day in Gotham for the trip.
Well for the whole class except Marinette, she was used to the city thanks to visiting it during the summer to stay with her uncle.
So if her uncle pulled a few hidden strings to have her class go then so be it, which was what Marinette didn't know. She just believed she was extremely lucky that the second time she filled out the paperwork was correct.
Totally didn't have to do with part of her last name or how one time her uncle came to threaten the school board once he heard how lenient Ms. Bustier was with bullies, which Marinette still didn't know about since Oswald just had a few of his men and Ed do a background on the useless teacher before Marinette had her.
Other than that it most definitely was not because a part of her last name or the connection to it.
A name that came from old money.
All four finished getting ready and went downstairs to get breakfast. They all happily chatted as they ate before groaning as they heard Lila and the class arrive.
"Of course I know the Waynes. I was at their mansion one summer and I briefly dated their youngest. Devon is such a sweetie," Lila brags not knowing that Mari and Adrien both knew the name of the Wayne she was trying to lie about.
The rest of the class ate breakfast ignoring the group.
Marinette placed the box of double chocolate chip cookies and macaroons in her bag in case she needed them for Tikki or whatnot.
Lila fakes a giggle at the lame joke Alya said, god she hated the blogger but oh well she had to do what she had to do to get on top.
She glanced at Marinette's table and sneers a little seeing the Asian girl's pixie hair in a neat mowhawk and her nice attire.
'Then again the pixie cut did not look nice on her,' she told herself as she looked away from the group that knew she was lying.
"Did you see Marinette's hair?" she whispered quietly to catch her sheep's attention.
Everyone leaned in closely to listen to the Italian girl as she began to speak about the bluenette.
"Ugh it's on that stupid mowhawk again. She totally can not pull it off, I don't see why she bothers," Alya said with an eyeroll as she eyed her classmate.
"Surely you can pull it off Lila," Kim said sweetly to the Italian girl who he had a crush on.
Lila feigns a look of shyness and looks down to hide her look of disgust before shrugging, "oh! I don't know. I don't think it'll look nice on me really."
In all honestly she'd look god awful with a mowhawk and they were all stupid to believe it'd look good on her.
"Oh...I don't know. Marinette told me that I'd look hideous with a pixie haircut," she feigns wobbly lips as she sniffles.
She smirks a little as the whole group look up to glare at the bluenette who was laughing out loud at something Chloé had said.
"Let me give that girl a pi-" Alya starts to say as she was starting to sit up but is interrupted as Ms. Bustier walks in.
"Alright class, the bus is here. Come on," their teacher said smiling weakly as if to not show she was frightened about what she saw outside.
The class grumbles and walked so as to get to the bus, each one throwing a glare at the bluenette.
Marinette rolled her eyes at the glares her classmates sent her. Thank god she never became friends with them most of them except Nathaniel. Alya was kind of a friend, but the glasses wearing girl just looked for danger and god knows what she would've done if she found out about who Mari was related to. She tried too hard to become famous when Marinette thought about it.
Shreaks could be heard as she stepped outside and she tilts her head curiously since she was surprised a little. She looks around to see what caused her class to react that way before seeing a bald, eyebrowless pale man dressed all in black holding a Dual stainless SIG-Sauer GSRs on his sides as he stared curiously at the students in front of them.
This man was familiar to Marinette and as she realized who it was she started to bounce on her toes excitedly.
"Victor!" the bluenette squeals excitedly as she ran up to her honorary uncle.
Victor smiled widely seeing his boss's niece and held out his arms as she hugged him.
Lila and the rest of the group were scared of the man in front of him, more so because of his gun and they weren't sure if he was there to harm them or not.
When Lila noticed the Asian girl hug the older man she scoffs.
"Typical. What a slut," she hisses out loud enough for the group to hear.
The group freeze, they may have not known Marinette well enough since she mostly had always kept to herself other than when hanging with Chloé. So of course, it was easy for them to believe the liar's lies when it came to Marinette.
Marinette pulls away from the hug and tilts her head, "what was that Lila? I'm sorry, I was just hugging my uncle," she said innocently before huffing in annoyance as Victor ruffled her hair.
Alya was about to retort before Ms. Bustier spoke up, "I'm sorry Marinette, but we have to get going. We have a full day of sight seeing."
Marinette waved them off disinterested, "you can go. I've seen Gotham plenty of times," she says shrugging her shoulders as she looked at her nails before smile brightly as Victor handed her a pink and rose decorated umbrella.
"But Mar-" Ms. Bustier was about to protest before being interrupted by the bald man.
"You should get going by the way, you might be late if you wait too long. That or you may accidentally leave the bus so unattended that someone could tamper with the brakes," Victor said with a drawl befoee smirking widely at the French class in front of him.
Everyone gulps before nodding quickly and getting on the bus, only Mari's friends hesitated before waving her goodbye.
As she watched the bus drive away she smirked before turning around to look at sweet toothed assassin next to her and held out her box of sweets to which his eyes widened and he smirked widely as he took it.
Not far from them does someone poat a picture of a close up of Marinette's face in twitter.
'New Wayne?' Was what it read.
"Oh! My grandmother was friends with the Van Dahls once! They had a fall out because the family's only son fell for her while he was married," Lila brags to her group.
Lila only knew a bit of Van Dahls, which was that they were rich. If she had done her research she would've realized Penguin, or Oswald Cobblepot was one by blood as well as the eldest son was already dead.
"Wow! That's so cool Lila!" Alya said with wide eyes as she listened to the Italian girl.
Ms. Bustier wanted to speak up, but thought against it. Marinette wasn't with them, so...perhaps she could pretend she never heard Lila.
Adrien, Nathaniel, and Chloé all stayed far away from the group. They felt somewhat relaxed, but a little lonely since Marinette was not with them. That and they were so tired of their class, the constant sneers and taunts thrown at them somewhat put them down but they had Marinette so they were ok.
Alya was looking at her phone mostly on Twitter when she saw the post and was about to tell her friends before the page (idk how Twitter or FB works) reuploaded and THE PENGUIN'S official account replied to the person.
'Unlikely as she is my niece.'
"My mother did get to meet the Van Dahls' of course, but only as a small child. She doesn't remember a lot from the visit," Lila said before all of a sudden a limo pulls up in front of them with a rusty bus screetching beside them.
Chloé and her two other friends froze before suddenly their mouths were covered by someone's hand and they were being taken away from the rest of the class.
Ms. Bustier froze and gulps as a nicely attired man came out of the limo.
It was the Penguin who wore a velvet suit with The Riddler beside him with a dark green suit.
Oswald gripped his husband's arm a little as he walked out of the limo gripping his cane.
The rusty bus's door slammed opened and a scar faced individual popped out with a camera as he giggled hysterically.
"We're live Ozzy," the redhead told the raven haired man.
"Mmm yes I know Jerome. My my isn't this the French class my niece told me was going to come?"
"Indeed it is," The Riddler said as he looked a piece of paper.
"Boss? The one in orange said her mom knew the Van Dahls," said a man who popped out of the shadows.
Lila paled as she was suddenly roughly pushed to the front of the group.
"So this is the harlot my poor niece has to listen to? And claiming to know the Van Dahls no less. Despicable and I know for a fact you never knew them," Oswald said smugly.
Alya growls out, "how?! She can't be lying so she's telling the truth!" she shouts to the villains much to the class' dismay.
Oswald turned to stare at her and smirked widely, Jerome's camera catching everything said and shown.
"That's because I'm a Van Dahl by blood. I know for a fact you're lying because my father or my horrible step-siblings would have told me before they died."
"S...so you're the last Van Dahl?"
Oswald smiled wider, "oh no my dear. My niece is the next generation of Van Dahls."
"W...who's that?" Ms. Bustier asked weakly.
Oswald hums, glad he sent some protection for his brother and his sister-in-law since he knew this would go international instantly.
"What?" Lila asked paling further.
"Marinette is a Van Dahl by blood. Her full name is Marinette Van Dahl-Cheng."
"Oswald do you think it's wise-"
"She basically has the rogues protection Edward. They gotta go through Gotham's villains to hurt my brother's family," Oswald said with a hiss as he glared at his niece's dumb class.
