Chapter 2
Marinette, a remarkable young woman, embodied intelligence, beauty, artistry, and athleticism. But her most defining trait was her unwavering commitment to doing what was right—an everyday hero in the making.
The saga began with Lila’s accusation: Marinette had allegedly stolen her grandmother’s necklace. Suspended from school, Marinette returned to face Lila’s wrath. The confrontation escalated, and Lila claimed Marinette had physically assaulted her. The class, swayed by Lila’s tales, turned against Marinette.
Yet the truth had a way of revealing itself. Nino, Kim, Alix, Max, Rose, and Juleka—all once ensnared by Lila’s web—saw through the deception. The class fractured, and the peace they’d known shattered. The Marinette Protection Squad formed, ensuring she was never alone.
Marinette’s resilience held firm. She submitted her writing to the Stark contest, and fate smiled upon her. She won! The prize? A class trip to Manhattan, where they’d stay with the Avengers for two months. The mere thought thrilled her—an opportunity to learn from real-life heroes, to witness their valor up close.
