Marinette was in the batcave in a gray tank top and pink yoga shorts. Tim was there with her.

"Before you can go out to the field, you need to train. Even with superpowers, you could lose them, and from what I heard lost your powers a couple of times. Bruce also forbids you from using Tikki unless it is absolutely necessary. Before you can move up to Nightwing or Bruce, you'll be training with me. First, we'll do tai chi, to strengthen your lower and upper body."

After about twenty minutes, Marinette felt more flexible.

"Now I'm going to teach you boxing."

"Really?"

"It's one of the easiest martial arts, plus the old hero Wildcat who also trained Bruce, Black Canary, and Superman to use boxing."

"Okay."

After about two hours, they finally stop. Then Stephanie Brown aka Spoiler came downstairs.

"Drake, I need to train her in weapons now", she said, sounding angry.

"Kay, I need to call Cassie so she knows that I can help with the Outsiders mission tomorrow."

"Of course Cassie", she sounded bitter.

He headed upstairs as Marinette chose to be quiet. She pulls out various weapons. She then pulls out a weapon similar to her Ladybug yo-yo.

"This is similar to your yo-yo, but the weapon was based off of Wonder Woman's lasso. It is reinforced to hold meta like Bane or aliens like Superman", she said as she handed it.

Marinette spins it and smiles. Steph holds up a round circle device that is red and black.

"These are your bugarangs. These are sharp enough to pierce concrete and metal. You have explosive ones, be careful with those. There are a few that can send an electric shock, and release knocked have bolas that weighted rope. Flash grenades, gas pellets, grappling hook, taser, and rebreather. Those are for breathing underwater. And there is a holographic computer in your left glove."

"Right."


Alfred was in the study with Marinette as he was teaching her sign language.

"You are doing very well Miss Marinette."

"Thank you Alfred. I really want to understand Cass."

"Next we move on to Spanish, Russian, Japanese, and German."

"Yes, sir."


Barbara was at the Batcomputer with Marinette.

"You need basic hacking knowledge at least. I know you made your web design, but you need to know more."

"I want you to try to hack into a social network in an hour."

After 25 minutes, Marinette got in.

"You're better than I expected."


Marinette and Dick were in the gym.

"In the videos that I saw of you, you were very flexible. I have been a train acrobat since I was five. Let's start with gymnastics."

After about an hour, they stop.

"I want you to keep practicing gymnastics. And I want you to take up dancing. It will help you with acrobatics."

"I will."

"Also, you're meeting your teacher Zatanna who will teach you magic tonight."


Marinette waited in the cave. She wears a dark pink sweater, a light pink blouse, a plaid strip skirt with a black belt, and long brown boots.

"Zatanna Zatara, 25", the computer announced.

Then a very pretty raven-haired woman with blue eyes in a magician outfit appeared.

"Zee I owe you big time for this", Dick said.

"Anything for my favorite Boy Wonder", she flirted.

"Your wish is my command, Princess of Prestidigitation", he flirted back.

Both stare lovely at each other. Marinette, feeling slightly uncomfortable, cleared her throat. Both snap out of it.

"Zee is Marinette Dupain-Cheng, the Guardian of the Miraculous Box. Marinette, this is Zatanna Zatara, she will be your mentor for magic."

"Wohs em eht epyt fo cigam ehs nac od", she cast a spell as a pink glow appeared around her body.

Marinette looked in awe.

"You can do creation magic. You use your energy to create anything you think, but it can be draining. First we'll be focusing on strengthening your magic before anything. And I'll try to get as much information on Kwamis as possible. Anyway, I have to get going. I need to meet Traci and Khalid. It was so nice to meet you Marinette. See you around Boy Wonder."

She left and Marinette looked at Dick.

"Is she your girlfriend?"

"What? No. We're just friends", he said with a light blush.

"Okay", she said unconvinced as she headed upstairs.

"Marinette, I'm serious", he said, following her.
