Daminette-- Legends/Roots

For @freeze-rae

******************************************************************************************

Damian and Marinette end up on a trip with the Legends of Tomorrow to track an akuma that ended up exactly where it shouldn't be The PAST! (It's like an opposite Timetagger, but not quite Timebreaker.) Somehow. Don't question it. (For those of you who watch Legends, you know how weird that show gets. Just go with it and everything will be fine, just fine) Current Waverider team-- Sara, Nate, Ray, Mick, Charlie, Zari, Mona, Ava (kinda) and Gary (kinda) Who's actually going to be relevant-- Sara, Mick, Ray, and Zari (the others are on their own mission or back at the Time Bureau HQ) Marinette and Damian are a bit reluctant to join the Legends. They respect the team, but they don't understand how they work At All. Both of them are used to a little more discipline, a little more structure. The Legends definitely don't roll like that. Marinette, fortunately, doesn't feel too many of the side effects from first-time time traveling. Damian, however, gets hit with a whole bunch of bad stuff. He does throw up, and he also gets hit with dizziness and speech issues. He hates it. He's basically incapacitated for the entirety of the mission. Poor kid. And where exactly did this mission take them into the past, you may ask? The day Marinette got her Miraculous. (Note: Damian and Marinette are nineteen in this AU, and Marinette got her Miraculous a few months before her fourteenth birthday). Marinette and the Legends have to protect her past from the rogue future akuma and make sure everything goes the way it's supposed to. But it's the Legends. Things don't go well. It gets a little crazy, where Fu almost doesn't give out the Miraculous and past! Marinette almost doesn't even do the thing that makes her worthy of the Ladybug title in Fu's eyes, but somehow things end up working out (albeit a little differently than before, not like Marinette will remember soon enough. It still doesn't change her present too much, though, just her origin story.) When Damian finally recovers (it really hit him hard), Marinette seems a little shaken up, so they go to a guest room on the ship to talk and relax a little, away from the Legends (who are notorious gossips and generally super nosy). They talk a bit about how weird it is to see your life from an outside view, who you were and what you could be (and Damian, though he didn't exactly experience the same thing, recounts the whole Heretic experience as a way of relating to Marinette) After they get home, they're a little more observant of their actions, what butterfly effects could change their lives, as well as being more observant to their own heritages and the cultures they came from. There are a lot of nights where they eat foods from their cultures and dance to their music in their little corner of Wayne Manor, forgetting the world for just a little while.
