Chapter Text
“You don’t have to do this Dent! You can make another choice!” She was running trying to get between his gun and the man laying on the ground he was pointing it at.
“You made your choice, the coin fell. Now you’ll live with the outcome.”
“No! Lucky Charm!” a hand mirror fell into her hands as she kept running, she frantically looked around trying to figure out what it was supposed to do.
Two-Face laughed at her and turned his attention back to the man on the floor, “Any final words?”
He turned his head towards her. She could see the blood running down his forehead from the fall, he spat out some blood and gave her a smile, “LB, it’s okay. I’d rather it was me than you.”
“NO!”
The gun went off just as she reached him and she froze in place. Crumpling to the floor she was vaguely aware of people coming into the warehouse, but her eyes only saw the body of the man she loved with blood pooling around him.
Marinette jolted up in bed. Rubbing her hand over her heart she turned to see the door to the next room opening.
Adrien shuffled into her room rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, “Bugginette, did you dream it too?” She nodded at him. “you know what this means.” Patting the bed next to her Marinette motioned for him to join her.
He got into bed and held her against his chest, her tears staining his shirt. She softly replied, “We know where we’re going next.”
“Bug, I am so sorry,” he starts rubbing circles on her back. “It might not happen like that. You know what Alix says.”
She laughed through her tears, “just knowing the course of events changes what the outcome will be.”
“Exactly. It doesn’t have to happen that way,” he squeezes her holding her tight, “we can change it.” Her bitter laugh turned into a sob, “get some sleep bug. I’ll be here.”
