《My Father From Another Continent》Day 3: Siblings
Advertisement
I won't be doing days 4 and 5 so yeahhhh hope you enjoy this!
Ever since Marinette was little, she had always wished to have little brothers and sisters of her own; wondering how it would feel to not be the only child anymore, to not feel so lonely. So, when she found out that she did have some (from her biological father's side), she wanted to jump for joy.
Who would've thought that the very same man who she has never met before, yet had always given her gifts for whichever occasion there is, is the only person who would grant her wish; who would give her the siblings she longed to have?
Although, that joy didn't last long. Not because she regrets wishing for it only for it to become granted. No. It was because when she had finally met the guy (her biological father) and had stayed for quite a few days in his house already, she still hasn't seen any of her siblings!
M. Wayne had said that they come and go from the Manor so she'll eventually see them, but still! She has still not seen any of them! M. Alfred had said that two of his sons are currently staying in the Manor but he still hasn't seen any of them! He said that one is somewhere in the Manor, tiring himself out and not getting any sleep (it sounded suspiciously like how she is), and the other always goes to school early so she might have just missed him.
It was sad to not be able to meet her siblings yet. And it was also lonely, so incredibly lonely. Not that spending time with MM. Wayne and Alfred was unpleasant, it's just that she wants to spend time with people who are the same age as her, people who are the same generation(?) as her.
Letting out a sigh, Marinette slumps down the couch and groans. Maybe fate really doesn't want her to meet/have siblings.
Just as she was cursing the world, she hears a loud bang as the front door of the manor opens. Revealing a smiling man with black hair that has a shock of white in the front and blue eyes that roam around the living room, seemingly searching for something. With a smaller man (yet Marinette was sure that he was way taller than her still) with also black hair and blue eyes behind him.

"C-Can I help you?" she peaks over the couch and looks at them warily.
As soon as the words left her lips, the male with the shock of white in his hair's eyes sparkle and his grin widens. "Found ya." he marches over to her and drags her by the arm (and if she weren't so physically skilled, she was sure she would've toppled over and fell) to who knows where. Somehow, even if she doesn't know who they are, she doesn't feel any need to retaliate.
In just a blink of an eye, she was already seated in a ranger car with the two men she saw previously and with two more males she doesn't recognize who are all talking among themselves all at the same time that she doesn't even understand them anymore. When had she even gotten here? No, more importantly, what is she doing here?
"E-Excuse me?" she tries to ask in between their bickering, but to no avail. "Excuse me?" she tries again, but the two youngest(?) interrupts her by quarrelling. "Ex—" she tries one more time but this time, the oldest (she thinks he was the oldest) joins in on the two quarrelling and the youngest one begins to pull out a shiny thing from his—was that a knife????!!
Staring at the thing in the boy's hands with horror, Marinette decides that if she doesn't want to witness a possible murder scene, then she better gets moving and do something about the situation!
"W-Wait!" she subtly opens the window beside her and flings the knife the boy has out of the car all in one swoop that they won't even be able to notice she did it (at least a regular civilian wouldn't).
"Hah?" the youngest snarls at her (did he notice that she was the one who flung his knife out the window?!), their eyes meeting that Marinette now notices his tan skin and beautiful jade eyes that shined like jewels. Wow, what a handsome kid.
The whole car goes silent and everyone (the guy who dragged her just stares at her through the rearview mirror) looks at her and the tanned ravenet next to her.
"Um, I—" she fiddles her hands. Why are they staring at her? Why did they suddenly grow quiet? "W-What's going on? W-Why am I here?" she asks. And most importantly, who are these people? Has she just been kidnapped?! Damn, the security of the manor is very lax then.

"Relax, kid," the guy that looks suspiciously like her whenever she has Christmas commissions assures her. "We're not here to kidnap you—well, technically we are—but we're not bad people."
"Yeah," the oldest (? Seriously, she wasn't sure whether he or the guy who dragged her out of the manor is older; she's willing to bet on him) agrees. "We're just here to have some sibling fun time!" he smiles brightly to her that it reminded her of Adrien.
The ravenette simply mutters "oh" at his statement and stares at her lap. So, they are her siblings? She expected a tamer first meeting, not whatever this is.
"Oh, right, we haven't introduced ourselves yet," the guy with a shock of white in his hair snaps his fingers like he just remembered something. "I'm Jason, aka, the coolest brother." he winks from the rearview mirror while sporting a grin.
"He's really not," the one on her left says with exasperation. "Also, I'm Dick, the oldest." Marinette stares at the brunet with a raised brow. "Dick" like the swear word?
"Names Tim," the guy on the back, who was previously fighting with the youngest, adds in.
"Damian," the kid on her right minimally says with only a nod. "Your only half blood brother." he adds. Okay, was that really so important that he had to add it? Well, it's good to know that she has a half-brother. Also, what did he mean by "only"?
"Basically, we're all adopted by Bruce," Jason—good to know that she finally has a name to a face—answers her unasked question while pertaining to himself, Dick, and Tim as the "we".
"Oh," she simply says and immediately shrugs after. "Well at least that means more siblings for me then." she smiles brightly at the thought. Yeah, the more siblings she has, the merrier.
"Pfft—" Jason tries not to laugh and utterly fails, resulting to him full-on laughing. "You are something, kid." he smiles at her again.
Marinette shrugs, "I'm often told that I have a certain kick of a spark in me." she looks at Jason's eyes (at least only through the rearview mirror) and smirks.
After a short pause, everyone started to laugh, making her mouth split into a smile of her own. It feels good to know that she was the reason other people laughed.
"With that can-do attitude, you better make sure that you win our little race," the brunet tells her as he swerves (gently though, not the life-threatening kind) the car to a right.
"Race?" she repeats.
"Yeah, the race to see who gets to buy the most bizarre things that it alarms Bruce." Tim snickers as he shows her a black credit card? So, she guesses that's M. Wayne's?
"And believe us, Bruce rarely gets shocked with whatever we buy." Dick smiles amusingly at the thought. "Well, maybe except that one time Damian bought three animal shelters.:
Marinette blinks at that. Three animal shelters?
"In my defense," Damian butts in. "There weren't enough animals in the manor."
"But you already have enough! A bit too much actually," Jason mumbles the last part and groans.
They have pets?! How come how come she never saw any of them for the past week she's stayed at the manor?! Marinette pouts and makes a plan to ask M. Alfred later when she gets back.
"So," Jason starts. "Who's ready to lose?"
At his question, everyone starts to have a riot on how they're going to win and if they cheat—how would they even cheat? —they'll castrate each other?! Why would—? Why would they do even do that?!
All in all, yeah, she loves having siblings. Even if they often bicker like children.
Bruce – Alfred?
Alfred – Yes, sire?
Bruce – Why was I just notified that someone bought a whole Fashion District under my name?
Alfred – I... am not too sure.

So... It has come to my knowledge that I need a proper synopsis to post/save this so here goes a thing: Someone dies, and what comes after seems to be like one of those myths of old where you are brought to the afterlife, except, this particular soul's afterlife doesn't seem like it will be comfortable, will it? WARNING: I am only writing this because I want to see how long I can keep writing from here and I am only posting it in RR because I like the display. I advise you do not start reading it but if you do, know that I PROMISE NOTHING. Pd: I write in the night settings so it may be needed to see.
