Today was Marinette's first day at her new school, she was a complete nervous wreck the whole time. She ran so many scenarios in her head about what could go wrong. "What if I mess up? What if people hate me? What if I make a complete fool of myself?!" Marinette said in a panic.

"Marinette, you need to calm down. This school is different from the one in Paris. Plus, you already have one friend there." Tikki remained Marinette.

Clark's son, Jon also went to Gotham Academy so that Marinette would have at least one familiar face. She finished getting ready for her first day at school, she even made sure that she had an extra miraculous in her purse just in case. When she came out of her room fully dressed, Clark was waiting for her. They ate breakfast then Marinette got into the car with Jon and Clark, they drove to the school. When Clark drove into Gotham City, the most crime ridden city; Marinette thought the city had potential. She took out her sketchbook and charted down a few ideas for new designs dedicated to the city.

Clark pulled up to the school which looked more like a fancy castle than a school. She felt so out of place when she exited the car with Jon. As they walked into the school, all of the students stopped and stared at Marinette. Some gossip, some were speechless, and some of the boys would give her flirty looks and wolf whistles as she walked past them. Marinette kept her eyes down at the ground. Soon, she got her class schedule and started walking towards her first class of the day. When she walked in, the whole class stopped what they were doing and turned to face her.

The teacher announced Marinette as the new student and asked her to introduce herself. Marinette fumbled for the right words for a bit until she finally introduced herself and spoke in perfect English. Most of the kids were stunned by her beauty while others were more focused on her introduction. The teacher assigned her to sit next to Damian. She gathered her things and walked over to where Damian was sitting. The class was mostly silent when they saw the new girl sitting next to Damian Wayne, the Ice Prince. No one dared to sit next to the Ice Prince because everyone was terrified by him.

During the whole lesson, Marinette mostly took notes and avoided the stares from the other students. When the bell rang at the end of class, everyone gathered their things and left for their next class. Marinette had only just walked out of the class when she got cornered by a few guys that were jocks. "Hey gorgeous. Care to be my girlfriend?" one of them asked.

Marinette refused to speak to the jock and tried to walk away. Suddenly the jock grabbed her arm and tried to kiss her. She struggled to break free from the guy's grip until someone threw a textbook at the guy's face, knocking him to the ground. The other jocks ran away in fear; Marinette turned around to see that it was Damian. He had saved her from the jock, she tried to thank him, but Damian just walked away without saying a word. Throughout most of the day, Marinette mostly had classes with Damian. But every time she tried to make a conversation with him, he just stayed silent with a cold expression.

At lunch, Marinette had just grabbed her lunch tray and she was looking for a seat but almost all of the tables were full. That is until she saw Damian sitting all alone eating lunch and drawing in his own notebook. She worked up the courage then she walked over towards the table where Damian was sitting at. "Excuse me?" Marinette asked then Damian turned to face her, "Mind if I sit here?"

Damian didn't speak to Marinette; he just shrugged, and Marinette took it as an ok, so she sat down beside him. Marinette pulled out her own sketch book and started sketching new designs based off of the city itself. She looked over to Damian's shoulder and she was amazed with how talented Damian was. She wanted to tell him that he was good, but she shied away from him and went back to her own drawing. But suddenly, the sound of broken windows hit Marinette's ears, and lots of students were screaming in fear and ducked under the tables. Before Marinette could process what was going on, someone roughly grabbed her and held her hostage.

The goon covered Marinette's mouth to prevent her from screaming. A familiar crazy laugh echoed through the room and out steps in the Joker. "Nobody move! Or the girl gets it!" Joker shouted.

He grabbed Marinette and held her at gunpoint, smiling. Most of the students didn't even dare to try to stand up against the Joker since they fear for their lives. Marinette was the least bit impressed with the Joker. When he asked her to give him a smile, she refused and called him a lunatic. Marinette then purposely stepped on Joker's foot making him let her go; she also gave him a swift kick right in the nuts for extra measure. The whole room was in pin drop silence with what they had just witnessed; the new girl had just beaten the Joker. The Joker was not happy that he got a beat down by a French girl.

Just then, Nightwing and Red Hood just appeared out of nowhere and took down the goons one by one. Joker tried to make a quick getaway, but Red Hood pounced him then knocked him out cold. Soon the sounds of police cars from GCPD and ambulances were heard then both heroes disappeared. "First day in a new school and I get held hostage by the Joker. Not as bad as my old class." Marinette muttered.
