《Marinette One-Shots》You left me (MLBxDC)
Advertisement
Marinette Al Ghul Wayne sighed. It'd been a while since she'd seen her mother, or her twin brother.... She missed them.
Marinette's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden slam of the classroom door. In walked a woman with a striking figure, dark brown hair, and toxic green eyes.
Mrs. Bustier looked affronted by the sudden interruption.
"Excuse me Ma'am. I'm afraid you may have the wrong classroom." She said, but the woman who had entered payed her no heed. Eyes scanning the room, she finally caught sight of her daughter.
Marinette stood up, placed her hands on her hips, and said,
"Talia." The woman, now dubbed Talia smiled at her.
"My darling! Look how you've grown!" Marinette's expression turned even more sour, if that was possible.
"Don't 'My darling' me, Mother." Marinette spat, "You left me! I finished the assignment perfectly! It was probably my very best Mission I've ever done! But that wasn't enough for you, was it? No. You left me in this godforsaken place without a second look. So tell me, what, just WHAT was so important that you never came back?!"
Talia sighed,
"Marinette, I would have come back for you darling, but my father.... And I had to take care of Damian. You know how it goes."
Marinette's class was confused, first off, who was this lady, and why was Marinette calling her 'mother' and what did she mean 'left me in assignment'???
Marinette rolled her eyes.
"Yeah-? Well Grandfather is dead in case you didn't know, and Damian.... Where is he? How is he? Is he alright?"
"I know Ra's is dead! I had to re-build the league from scratch!" Talia practically yelled at Marinette, and Marinette growled.
" you think I didn't know that? I could have helped you! I could have stood by your side!" Marinette paused for a second then realized something.
"Mother. Where. Is. Damian." Talia sighed and nearly whispered,
"He's with your father..." Marinette froze.
"In Gotham! Mother! Are you trying to kill him?! And with father of all people! I thought he wasn't supposed to know we existed! You LIED to me!!"

Altered forever by ‘The Reckoning’, the survivors of humanity struggle to live on, drifting as nomads or forming small communities, sustained only by their own blood and sweat. This is the world that Esterian is born into. After learning of his father’s death at the hands of one known only as the 'Shadow of Heaven', he vows vengeance. But there are other forces at work as well. The rulers of the land, beings of unimaginable power known only as the ‘Holy Ones’ would twist Esterian’s rage to serve their own perverted motives. So too would the band of rebels called Advaitha, shrouded in mystery, their seemingly noble motive of reclaiming the world for man hiding a much darker agenda.

On hisday off, he finds himself and his fellow Enforcers caught up in a fight between two Void Lords,beings of immense power, who answer only to the Council, after the pair of Void Lords touchdown on the Station, seeking to refuel their respective Void Walkers. In the ensuing clash,Relovan punches above his weight and subdues a number of Void Knights – those in the serviceof the Void Lords – before becoming directly involved in the confrontation between the VoidLords themselves. His performance during the incident catches the attention of the current PoliceChief, Nura, who essentially takes him under his wing, and assists him in various ways,including when he is summoned to answer before the Council for getting involved in the spatbetween the two Void Lords. The book ends after the conclusion of the Hearing.Relovan is a stickler for the Law – something that prompted him to learn not only the laws ofvarious territories and planetary systems, but also the native languages and customs, so as touphold the law as best he can. As a highly trained, and immensely skilled former soldier,Relovan’s abilities along with his latent talent regarding the use of Essence, allow him to hangwith beings infinitely more powerful than him. Lawman is a full length manuscript that I will likely self publish once I have the artwork for it.
