he last thing Adrien, Kagami, and Felix expected when they got to Wayne Manor was to find Damian and Marinette battling with swords, in a room large enough to be a ballroom.

"Woah." Adrien spoke first.

Marinette turned her attention towards the door, just for a second, and ultimately found herself pinned under Damian.

"Dammit, Adrien!" she shouted, "I had him this time!"

Damian grabbed her hand, helping her to her feet, "Habibiti, you are lying to yourself. You are still recovering."

"Mari, what did you do?" Adrien asked, as they made their way towards the couple.

She sighed, "I twisted my ankle while I was running away from Scarecrow."

"Hime-sama!" Kagami roared.

Mari scoffed, "He's lucky I wasn't running towards him."

Damian leaned down and kissed her head, "He would not have survived." making her smile.

"You have grown much." Kagami spoke, "You footwork is most admirable."

"I'm not surprised." Adrien smiled.

Felix and Kagami looked at him confused.

"Miss Clumsy? How are you not surprised?" Felix questioned.

"Marinette auditioned for a fencing spot before." Adrien announced, "She scored against me every turn. I couldn't touch her."

Kagami and Felix looked at them in shcoked.

"How did she not get the spot?" Kagami pushed.

Adrien rubbed the back of his neck and looked away, "We never did finish our spar. You arrived and demanded we compete. You got the only spot."

Kagami frowned.

'Mother. You may have possibly ruined a sparring partner for me.'

Marinette waved it off, "Don't worry, Gami. The spot didn't really matter to me. It was when I was trying to get to know Adrien better."

"I thought you couldn't fence?" Felix spoke.

"I didn't." she replied, "Dami taught me how. His siblings get busy and he needs a sparring partner."

"But you-" Began Adrien.

"Damian taught me how to use swords when we were kids." Mari answered, "I just used the same concept."

"You fence?" Kagami prodded.

The Wayne heir nodded.

"Mind if we spar?" she questioned, "If we not interrupting."

Damian turned towards Marinette, "Rest."

She nodded, "You can use the two rooms, down the hall, to change into your gear."

As Adrien and Kagami got ready, Mari sat against one of the walls and grabbed her sketchbook. Felix sighed as he sat down next to her.

"No bars?" Adrien asked.

"None." Kagami confirmed.

Damian simply nodded and got into position. Soon, it was a two-on-one match. Damian demonstrated his flexibility and prowess, backflipping away from their attacks.

Felix glanced over at Marinette, only to see her smiling. As if her pencil moved on its own, he saw clothing based of her boyfriend.

'Bodysuits?'

"I didn't take you for the kinky type." he spoke, softly, to not interrupt the match.

Marinette quickly turned to him, blushing.

"What?" she questioned.

He motioned towards the bodysuits on her sketchbook, "Bodysuits?"

"Damian would wear these when he trained with his mother." Mari commented, "I..I just wanted to give him something to wear around the manor, he would be comfortable in."

"Bodysuits?" Felix pushed.

"And other things!" she pushed back.

Felix scoffed, "Like what; a chocker?"

"No!" she shouted.

She took a breath and glanced at the match, making sure they hadn't stopped.

'Okay, Damian still looks like he's enjoying himself.'

"You know, FeFe, you can be such a pain in the ass." Mari spoke, now that she had settled down.

Felix glared at her, "I hate that name."

She smiled, "Yeah, but I do it to annoy you. At least I'm not like Chloe. You don't have to hear it all the time, like 'Adrikins'."

"Ugh." he groaned, "I feel like she would be calling me a poodle."

Marinette began to laugh. Felix frowned and shoved her, making her fall to the floor. Suddenly, he found Damian in front of him, with a saber to his throat. Felix remained perfectly still. Marinette rolled her eyes, as she got up from the floor, and shoved Damian back, slightly.

"He's harmless." She declared.

"Excuse me!" they both shouted, before glaring at each other again.

"Felix didn't go it to hurt me. He pushed me because I insulted him and wounded his pride." Marinette admitted, "It was as forceful as me shoving you away, right now. It just looked rougher because I was still laughing and didn’t get up."

"What did you say?" Damian questioned.

"I called him by a name that he hates." she stated, "I am not sharing that privilege."

"Habibi." the Wayne heir pushed.

"You and your brothers have names I am not honored to call you by; names that you have earned by each other." Marinette reminded him.

Damian frowned, making her sigh.

"Mari insulted me further by saying at least she wasn't like Bourgeois." Felix commented, smoothing over the fight.

She smiled, "He commented that he'd feel like a pet poodle, which is that made me laugh. You know, Gami, maybe you should get him a collar."

"Don’t you dare!" Felix shouted.

Kagami looked amused, while Adrien just looked confused by his cousin throwing a tantrum. Even Damian appeared to be amused by Felix's interactions with Marinette.

"What did you draw?" Damian questioned, changing the subject.

Mari turned her sketchbook towards him, showing off the suits and training gear.

"Like Mother's." He replied.

She nodded, "Felix said it appeared 'odd'. I was gonna change it."

Damian leaned down and kissed her forehead, "Do no such thing. I'd like to add pants, like Ra-Grandfather wore."

As Marinette took notes and drew a few quick sketches from memory, Damian continued, "I would enjoy veiling you in similar clothing."

"As your mother?" She shrieked, "Habibi, I know you love your mother, but her clothing was......revealing, with assets I don't have!"

The Wayne heir chuckled, "Clothing of our culture, not her attire specifically. " making Mari sighed in relief.

"Your mother?" Adrien asked confused.

"Was technically single woman." Damian stated, "She flaunted what she had and was confident in her appearance."

"A woman of power." Kagami spoke.

"Very much so." Agreed Damian and Marinette.

Felix shrugged, "I can't see her wearing those types of clothing."

Damian growled.

"What?" Felix declared, "She's too……innocent and pink."

Damian began to chuckle, as Marinette blushed.

"What?" Felix questioned.

Damian leaned in so only Felix could hear him, "What you all walked in on, was our version of foreplay."

Felix tensed up and could feel the blush heat up his cheeks. He glanced towards Marinette, who dared not meet his gaze. She quickly turned away and walked towards Adrien and Kagami. Felix turned his gaze back to Damian.

"Mother taught My Angel something very important in life; appearances can be deceiving. To look a part with a mind like a steel trap will bring men to their knees." Damian continued, "The only thing Mother didn't account for, was me falling for the same trap. You of all people should know not only to train the body, but also the mind."

Felix looked towards the trio. Marinette was happily smiling with Kagami, showing them some of her designs.

'Now that I think about it, she is surrounded by well known people: friends, customers, or people that had crushes on her. She used her appearnace and mind to make connections.'

"She's gonna take over the world, isn't she?" Felix asked.

Damian smiled, "I will be standing next to her when she does."

No what's crazy is how you actually don't love me as much as the beginning. That its slowing going away.
