“No, nuh uh, absolutely not.” Adrien glared at her. “You are not using yourself as bait again .”
“Why not?” Marinette asked calmly.
“Mari, this is a serial killer we’re talking about!” Alya shouted.
“Yes, I know who I’m talking about.” She looked at Nino. “What do you think?”
Nino raised an eyebrow. “I think that it’s just as crazy as all your other plans.”
“See!” Marinette and Adrien yelled at the same time.
“No, Nino is right, it’s the same level of crazy, and I’ve come out alive every other time. Besides, I won’t be alone.” She looked towards the door. “I have one of Gotham’s heroes, who will be with me all night.”
Alya grabbed her hand. “Mari, I love you, but you can’t expect me to trust a crime lord to have your back, I don’t care what the Bat says.”
Marinette rolled her eyes. “It’ll be fine Alya, you guys are a call away.”
Adrien sighed. “Fine, but communicator on at all times, and Mullo is divided, one here with us one with you.”
“I accept the terms,” she said with a little laugh. “Now, I have to go, Hood will be here soon.”

“Bait…” Dick stared at Jason intently. “You’re letting her use herself as bait.”
Jason shrugged. “It’s Pixie Pop’s plan, I’m just there to be an imposing figure.”
“But, but, but!” Dick stuttered out in exasperation.”
“But what dickhead, use your big boy words.”
Dick glared at him. “She’s basically a civilian!”
“No, she’s not,” Jason smirked.
Dick chuffed him upside the head. “Okay, just because she’s really good at parkour and you think it’s hot when she does aerial training at the gym doesn’t mean that she isn’t a civilian.”
“Dickie bird, you ain’t seen nothing.” Jason laughed and started to head out the door. “Now, if you don’t mind, I have a girl to pick up and an asshole to put behind bars.”
“I’m following you!” Dick yelled and Jason could hear him scrambling to get into his Nightwing suit.
“Whatever jackass,” Jason called back to him. “But we really don’t need you.”

Marinette smiled when Jason came over to pick her up in a hug.
“Dick is following me,” he whispered in her ear.
“You got that kitty?” she whispered.
“Loud and clear LB, I’ll suit up and head that way.” Adrien sounded far too excited about this.
She looked up at Jason and smiled. “A little bird is about to play a game with a cat.”
“Good, teach him not to interfere.” Jason pulled her close into his side. “You’re gorgeous by the way.”
Marinette smiled, she was wearing a black mini dress paired with red leggings and a red crossbody purse. “Let’s go already. We have an approximate location, I look like one of his usual targets, and I am ready to take down a killer.”
“At the lady’s command.” Jason motioned her forward. “But I’m driving.”
