Bridgette Fu

Summary:

After the defeat of Chrysalis, Ladybug's team found out about both her and Monarch's identity. After placing the miraculous back in the box, Marinette flees to Gotham with a new identity. Also she joins Dream Academy.

Notes:

You don't have to know about Dream Academy to read this, if you do Marinette takes Sophia's place. Also this is my first fic so sorry the chapter is short.
Also English isn't my first language (the iconic line) so don't judge
Also all of my knowledge from the Batfam is from fanfics I've never read or seen the movies so sorry

Edit: it's been a long time now and I have started obsessively watching any movies or tv shows i can get my hands on. I'm sorry if I've mischarachterised anyone in the beginning
Also I would love to be someone's beta and I'm also looking for a beta for this fic so don't be scared to reach out

Chapter 1: Fire escape

Summary:

"Love is seeping out my pores I don't hold anger any more even for people who hurt and betrayed me."

-Fire drill, Melanie Martinez

Notes:

Me making random metaphors
Marinette:...ok...?

Chapter Text

Marinette was lost. Those were the same words running through her head after Gabriel's death. But this was different.

Last time Adrian didn't find out his father was Monarch. Last time her team didn't find out she lied. Last time she didn't have to face the disappointed glares and betrayed looks her teammates were giving her after they found out. Last time her friends didn't leave her. Last time he didn't leave her. Last time she wasn't really lost. This time she was, literally.

Why the fuck did every part of Gotham look the same!?

Marinette was regretting the decision of walking instead of just using the horse miraculous by the time she arrived to her already furnished apartment. She decorated it some time ago when she won the scholarship to Gotham Academy.

Marinette, being as desperate as she was to get out of Paris, applied to not one, but three scholarship programs. Fashion (being her passion), singing (so as not to be mingling) and dancing (instead of prancing). She somehow got on all three extracurricular programs and had to go to two extra classes. Yayy… great...-note the sarcasm.

Ever since the 'final battle’ , Marinette had a fire burning inside of her. She had loved and had been loved. She had hated and been hated. She had betrayed and had been betrayed.So she did the only thing she could: she used the fire escape.
