Devastating

Chapter 7

Ladybug's outfit changed a few months ago, She wore a red and black spotted leotard with a strapless sweetheart neckline, boots that went to her mid-thigh, and a cropped jacket, black where skin would have shown.

Both heroins had their hair in long intricate braids down their backs that had streaks of either red or yellow.

Once merged with the horse miraculous, Ladybug's suit now had a brown jacket and silver accompanying her red streaks.

"Voyage!" The two heroines quickly jumped through the portal and Ladybug separated from the horse miraculous giving Kalkki some sugar cubes while Abeille went to assess the situation. Kaalki finished eating and Ladybug put the horse miraculous away so she could find Mr. Ramier, when she did she adapted her plan to work for the location and went to work, collaborating with Abeille and Ryujin, who arrived just after they did.

Ladybug decided it was 'go time' and called out,

"Lucky Charm!" the heroine caught a sack of flour and quickly tore it open and created a big cloud of flour with the help of Ryujin, as the wind dragon. With Mr. Pigeon distracted and the pigeons unable to properly navigate, Abeille used her venom to freeze the victim, Ladybug was then able to grab the bird whistle, break it, and purify the Akuma before Mr. Pigeon knew what was happening.

Once the trio comforted the discouraged man they went to Chloe's room to catch up, knowing that no one would be there. While Tiki recharged and Marinette sketched some of her ideas from the gardens Kagami and Chloe thought they would 'grab a snack' both returning not with food but with flushed cheeks and unruly hair. Marinette smirked before closing her sketchbook and began saying goodbye to Kagami before transforming with Kaalki,

"Kaalki, Full Gallop!"

"Voyage!" The two heroines said goodbye to their friend one last time before walking through the portal and finding the class. The two were only gone for 30 minutes, complaining about a long line and getting lost while looking for the class.

Once the tour finished Marinette, Chole, Alix, and Kim decided not to return to the hotel with the class and walked towards a promising restaurant Alix saw on the way to the gardens. The group rounded a corner while Marinette was gushing about how beautiful the gardens were before she bumped into something hard.

Marinette grabbed hold of some type of fabric to stop herself from falling and two arms gently grabbed her own, she paled before blushing and began apologizing while her friends laughed at their friend's predicament, finally looking up from the wall of muscle she had run into and realized who it was and blushed even harder.

"D-Dami?"

"Hello, again. You really should be more careful, next time you might bruise something." Damian finished with a smirk.

Unbeknownst to either a certain group of people were staring at the two of them with the biggest grins while the teen next to them was staring at his friend with their jaw hanging.

The two exchanged pleasantries, Damian still holding Marinette with his arms and her hands still sitting on his shirt (and his VERY muscular chest). Suddenly the two were pulled out of their own world by a gaping boy standing next to a smug-looking Kim with Chloe and Alix giggling like school girls.

Marinette blushed again before she started to speak, "O-oh guys, this is Damian. The one that helped me find my way through the Wayne building and who I hung out with yesterday when you all ditched me for time without 'the over-excitable ray of sunshine'." At the mention of the nickname, Damian lightly chuckled and Jon's jaw fell again.  Damian doesn't smile let alone laugh. Anyone that knew him would be at a loss for words.
