The Queens Court
CHAPTER FIVE:THE COURT
Before you start reading I'd like to warn you on the possibly confusing way I go from referring to Marinette to Marie than back to Marinette again. I'm trying to highlight the girls identity crisis. She is not quite sure who she. Plus those who knew her in the past refer to her as Marie and those who are new to her life know her as Marinette. Different POV's will have different refrences. Thank you for your patience.

A few reminders will be posted tommorow to ensure that you survive the queens rein.
Jason had brought along her motorcycle for Gotham. He said he was apparently the only brave enough (stupid enough) to drive the thing though the Zeta tubes. Marinette's friend group was not quite sure what connection Marinette's family had to the heroes, all the knew was rich people had connections.
Marinette had been overjoyed at the sight. She had admittedly missed the benefits that came with coming from a rich family.
"Your car shall be here by the end of the day tommorow," Jason smiled watching his sister's happiness. It had admittedly been awhile, when Marinette had cut contact with the family, they had decided to give her space, she was obviously going through something.
They had been overjoyed when Damian had gotten the call of their sister being back to her old antics. Though their happiness was soon crushed when a text from the blonde heiress that summaried what exactly had been the cause of her sudden change.
While his family scrambled to get their private jet ready, he had grabbed a few clothes hopped on her motorcycle, driven it to the batcave and Zetared straight to Paris. No one messes with a member of the batfamily.
"So tell me about this whole bullying situation," he calmly said causing the girl to freeze in the middle of inspecting her motorcycle. Not that they was anything wrong with it, he had made sure of that, taking care of it while she was away.
This statement gained the blonde's attention as well who had finally stopped staring at Marie's, much to Jason's relief, in order to meet the older boys gaze with a raised eyebrow. The boy was admittedly not dumb as he had caught Marie's reaction to the comment.
"Marinette," he said darkly. Jason couldn't help but appreciated the dark energy that radiated from the boy.
"Not now," the girl whispered as she gazed at the ground. "I'll explain everything when everyone gets here I promise"
"You better," the boy growled angrily causing the boy to flinch. Jason raised his eyebrow at the reaction clearly perplexed. This reaction was foreign to him, his sister usually met such remark with her oen fiery temper, what had these people done to her. Despite the odd reaction Jason had taken the liberty of glaring at the blonde brat for making his sister uncomfortable. The blonde himself had faltered at the reaction.
"Marie love I'm not angry at you," he saud approaching the girl with an embrace before kissing the top of her head. "Just at the idiots who are surely going to loose their heads for this."
"Watch where you place those lips blondie," Jason muttered earning an eye roll from the pair.
"Well I can always place them on her-"
"No we're not doing this," Marinette interrupted face turning red. "Let's go upstairs and catchup."
Before either boy could protest she grabbed their hands and dragged them upstairs, back to her room. The next two hour were filled with awkward conversations, males butting heads and Marinette's never ending embarrassment.
This was interrupted by a soft knock on the trap door.
"Oh someone in this place knocks," Felix muttered bitterly as he thought back to the interruptions on his private time with his Queen.
"Come in Kagami," Marinette yelled out with a small laugh.
"How are you always aware it is me," the stoic girl asked as she made her way into the room.
"You're the only one who knocks," Marie said with a laugh. Felix couldn't help but appreciate the girls flawless beauty and bell like laughter.
Kagami let out the most formal hiff either boy heard before bowing at each person in respect. "It's an honor to make your acquaintance, Marinette I'm happy to see you once more and you'll be happy to note that you were missed"
"What a way to question my manners," Marie scrambled towards the girl pulling her towards where she and the two boys where sitting. "This is Jason my brother and Felix my-"
"You are not my ex," Marinette yelped in horror.
"Great I'm her future," Marinette blushed at his statement and Jason couldn't help but burst into a fit of laughter at the exchange.
"I wasn't aware you had a brother nor a ahh past lover Marinette," the girl said eying Felix suspiciously.
"We're not... He's not... That's not," the girl stuttered.
"You were not supposed to," both men cut of as the girl scrambled to get herself together.
"Félix Graham de Vanily we are not past lovers," the girl growled out glaring at the man.
"Your tone and the way you're looking at me right now pains me as much as having a dagger shoved into one's chest," the boy said meeting Marinette's faze with one of his own, though his was filled with pure unfiltered adoration. "Though hearing you say our relationship was in the past would hurt me more than that."
"Gag," Chloe's voice called out as she entered the room. "Save it for wedding vows, if guitar boy does not get your way and who's that"
"Chloe," Marie brightened up upon the girls arrivals she grabbed kagami dragging her towards the blonde leaving Felix at the mercy of her brother. "Kagami this is Chloe my childhood best friend, Chloe this is Kagami the newest member of the Court."
"I thought the role best friend belonged to me," Felix said from his spot in the room, where he was quite obviously ignoring Jason.
"Aren't you greedy, you wanna be her boyfriend, best friend and ex all at the same time," Chloe snarked earning a glare from the boy.
"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance," Kagami says ignoring the impending banter and offering the female blonde a respective bonde. "What is the court you speak off."
"You're hot, can weild a sword and are brave enough to disturb our arguments," Chloe assessed. "Hmm I can work with that."
Chloe pulled the unsuspecting girl to the other side of the room.
"I'll explain everything to you later Kagami," Marinette yelled after her even though she was hyper aware Chloe was two steps ahead of her.
An exited squeal sounded from tge stairs leading to the trapdoor. Before anyone could question it a blur off yellow came kn tackling Marinette into a hug.
"You're giving me an inside scope," Aurora said clearly overjoyed.
"I tried to stop," Mireille said rushing in clearly out of breath.
"Really," Chloe said assessing the two girls with a raised eyebrow.
"We now the news," Marinette replied to her clear judgement.
"Welcome to the court," Chloe said motioning for them to join her and Kagami. Aurora squealed practically running towards her while poor Mireille was forced to chase after her.
Chloe was not stupid, she knew the bluenette had a point. Welcoming these girls to their group will be beneficial both now and in the future. Those who control the news, control the minds of the people.
"Conniving as ever I see," a familiar voice said causing the girl to whip her head back.
"Dames," the girl squealed launching herself at her biological brother. The boy welcomed her hug without complaint causing the eldest of the siblings to complain.
"I will never understand why she gets such warm hug reciprocation while the rest of us are threatened with death," Dick mumbled as he followed with the rest of the bats.
"Because Marie is actually my sister while the rest of the you are just strays father picked up in the streets," Damian said followed by someone clearing their throat. "Minus Cassandra."
The girl beamed as the rest of her siblings groaned and complained at the clear favoritism. The siblings were in the middle of their greeting when a small voice disturbed them.
"Uhm hey," Marc muttered clearly shocked by the amount of people in the room. By his side stood an equally shocked Nathaniel.
"Marie no," Chloe shouted in desperation as she assessed the two.
"Mafia, spy," Marinette said pointing at Marc then Nathaniel. "Plus they were already members."
"He's a traitor," Chloe said pointing at Nathaniel.
"I do not act if the queen does not want me to," Nathaniel says in a voice colder than most have heard from him.
"He was working on the inside Chloe," Marinette says finally breaking through her friends resolve.
"Fine Gay and red can make their way towards the group over here," Chloe huffed as she turned her attention back towards briefing the group. "You too Wayne"
"I see somethings never changed," Damian muttered making his way towards the group alongside the two new comers.
"Shut is Wayne," Chloe hisses causing some of the bats to snicker as Marinette rolls her eyes.
Everyone is now distracted talking, catching up and plotting. Marinette feels a pair of hands wrap around her stomach as she is lifted from the ground. Someone's face connects with her neck as a blush feels her cheeks. Dread for the incoming storm settles in the pit of her stomach at the incoming storm.
"Hey blue," Luka whispers into her ear. Marinette squeaks as she becomes redder. Of all the days he could have chosen to be over affectionate.
Chloe laughs at her position and as Felix cooly strides towards the pair.
"So you're the other man," Felix states coldly assessing the blue head.
"I'm sorry who are you?" Luka asked causing Chloe to cackle.
"Félix Graham de Vanily her ex," he says moving the bluenette to his side as he offers his hand to the boy.
"Felix you're not my ex," the girl hisses once more blantly ignoring Chloe's laughter.
'traitor' she thought as she looked in between the boys.
"Oh sorry her boyfriend," Felix continued on ignoring the girls yelped.
"Not my boyfriend," she says as the two men glared at each other. What had she gotten herself into.
"Are you denying my affection for you, and your for me," The blonde asks as he presses her back against him causing her to stop her sputtering with a red brush as she felt what was pressed again her a**.
"Juleka warned me about you," Luka stated with a smirk as he too pressed his body against hers looking over her head to meet the green eyes of the blonde behind her. "and trust me I'm not afraid of you, when Marinette finally untangles her emotions she'll know exactly who better suits her. "
Marinette couldn't believe that these two were turned on by the situation. She expected something big, bantering, fighting, her heart being broken. But this, this was highly unexpected.
"I welcome your competition," Felix states with a smirk. The only person who had ever had the guts to face him head on was the bluenette pressed against him and jer biological brother. This was going to be fun. "Though I do not intend to lose."
"As amusing as this is to watch, I would ask that you unhand my sister before they is a need for me to step in," Damian growls causing the two to reluctant make some distance between themselves and the girl still glaring at one another.
"Damn Mars," Dick says eyeing the two boys alongside a now fully awake Tim.
"You became a player while you were gone," Barbara cackled out.
"Can Cass and I get the one you reject," Stephanie says earning an elbow to the side from Cass.
"What there hot," she whisper yalls causing the quiet girl to nod along.
"Uhmm that was intreast," Juleka mutters from her spot near the entrance of the room.
"Marir NO!" Chloe yelled as she and the rest of the room noticed the girls presence.

Uhmm, so this chapter, the chapter before that and the chapter after this one were supposed to be one filler chapter. I had to split it into three because the word count was exceeding what I originally thought it would be. So please bear with me, I swear the action is coming soon.
