Summary
One day, Andrea Beaumont decided to disappear to protect the man she loved. And Bruce Wayne never knew that, in losing her, he also lost a daughter.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng grew up far from Gotham, far from the shadows, simply the daughter of two French bakers with a seemingly safe life.
But danger always finds a way to cross oceans.
When Paris becomes the epicenter of an impossible threat and the Justice League intervenes, Marinette's parents, fearing for their daughter's safety, make a decision that will change everything: sending her to live with her biological father, a certain Bruce Wayne.
Gotham isn't Paris. And Bruce Wayne isn't just Bruce Wayne.
While learning to fight Hawk Moth, Marinette must hide her secret identity not only from her new father, but also from the cunning neighbor's son who spends far too much time at Wayne Manor.
Meanwhile, Bruce must grapple with the grief of losing Jason, his new Robin, the burden of being Batman, and a daughter he's just met—a daughter who doesn't know he's Batman and whom he must protect.
And when the League of Assassins enters the scene, the masks begin to crack.

Summary
An encounter with a truth-based akuma reveals a devastating secret of the Dupain-Cheng household, specifically that her parents were planning to give her up for adoption. With Hawk Moth's ability to prey on negative emotion, those plans had been put on hold. Her family has a deadline, but that doesn't mean she can't search for a new one before the deed is done.

“We’ll just need to find you a home before she defeats him.” Chloe sprung forward slightly in excitement, eyes wide as she exclaimed, “Oh! I know! You could ask Wayne!”
“Uh,” Marinette looked at the others and saw their expressions were just as blank as her own. “Who?”
“Bruce Wayne!” Chloe stuck her nose in the air as her smile turned over-confident with a hint of know-it-all. “That American Billionaire. He has a penchant for adopting kids with tragic backstories, and you’re just his type. Dark hair and blue eyes, and he’d love that whole ‘Goody-Two-shoes’ thing you have going on. I bet he’d adopt you in a heartbeat!”
“Sure, Chloe. I’ll just send him the adoption papers with a ‘Congrats, it’s a girl!’ letter.”

Then he leaves.Marinette stays long enough to realize that winning did not give her anything back.
Burned out, grieving, and no longer sure who Marinette Dupain-Cheng is without a mask, she accepts a Wayne Foundation program in Gotham to start over somewhere no one needs Ladybug.
Unfortunately, Gotham comes with its own problems.
One of them is Damian Wayne. -

Summary
She was Marinette and she was tired. Tired of fighting villains, tired of bearing witness to those she loved turn their backs on her, tired of tiptoeing around her own city whenever she had to go out. Tired of having to watch her back, of having to record every conversation lest it be used against her. Of not being able to just exist as a normal teenager.
Normal teenagers were not forced to leave their home country for an indefinite amount of time to stay with people they do not know.OR
Marinette is sent to live with her father in Gotham. No one is amused.
