In a hotel near the Eiffel Tower, a couple laid in bed. Their suitcases were cast aside just as their clothes were thrown across the floor. They were in the nude, just having wonderful, after marriage sex. The man was spooning his new wife as they almost fell asleep.
"I love you, beautiful."
"I love you, too, babe."
There was a moment of silence until the man spoke once more.
"So, beautiful, why, exactly, are we in Paris?" He asked the woman in his arms.
"Um, our honeymoon? Why else?" She replied.
"You always have another reason when you are this excited. I'm pretty sure you weren't this jumpy yesterday when we got married." He said, glaring playfully at the blonde.
"Yes, I was! I was planning our wedding before you came back from the Speed-Force!" She cried. "I started to plan it when I found the ring and then cried because I thought you died."
"Whatever, I know you have another reason." The man crossed his arms and stuck his nose in the air.
"It may have to do with my father's capability to love and reproduce..." The woman looked away sheepishly.
"What?" The boy asked sharply.
"He may have said that I have a half brother in Paris the last time I spoke to him." The girl started to gnaw on her tongue. She did this whenever she was nervous, as well as look down at her feet. "I would have told you sooner, but I didn't know how."
"Babe, it's no big deal. Well, you having a brother is pretty frikkin big, but you not telling me is fine. I swear, it is. I am not mad or anything. If he were your kd, i would be furious." He shrugged his shoulders.
"I have his details, we can find him tomorrow." She turned around and buried her face into his freckled chest.
"Can I know his name?"
"Okay... He is Adrien Agreste."
There was another moment of silence. "Oh, that really hot model? The same one Cassie and Steph and Kara just won't shut up about?"
"You're supposed to be straight! But yeah." She slapped his chest. "And he is sixteen! You're such a pedophile." She laughed.
"Hey, you're the one who started that foursome with Dick and Zee when they were seventeen and we were nineteen!"
"We were drunk as fuck and we all just tried crack for the first time. And we didn't get very far. Dick started to blow you when you fell asleep. And I was eating Zee out when I fell asleep. Supposedly, they carried us to our room in the manor and had sex themselves."
"My point is that you are a pedophile, too." He stuck out his tongue. In response, she nipped it lightly with her teeth. "OW!"
"Let's just sleep."
"Hey, isn't he Chat Noir?"
"Yes, babe, that's so obvious. He should be more discreet. So should that Marinette girl. They are a cute couple. Now, sleep."
"Oh yeah, Bats wanted us to try to recruit Ladybug and Chat Noir for the Team."
"Ok, sleep."
The next day was a hot day and Marinette had no idea what to wear. It was also the last day of her junior year in high school. Her usual outfit was too much for the hot day, but she wore the long sleeved things to hide her scars. Finally, after minutes of thinking, the blue-eyed girl called her best friend, Ayla.
"Look who's actually up before school starts!" The brunette smirked.
"Oh, shush, I have no idea what to wear and I need some help." Marinette cried into the phone.
"Oh yeah, the souvenirs from your extra-curricular." Alya moved her eyebrows up and down. "I still can't believe you are the Ladybug. And that Adrien is the Chat Noir!"
"Well, you shouldn't have put us in the masks and the outfits." Marinette glared at her through the phone.
"True, true. Anyway, wear those patterned pink baggy pants that are closed at the ankle- no, actually, your maroon leggings- and that white lace top with the bell long sleeves- no, not that one, the off-shoulder one- and a black bandeau."
"Alya, you know I like to wear inside shirts and not bandeaus." Alya pouted.
"Yeah... But you really should. You have a sexy shape, babe." Her pout turned into a smirk and she winked. "Okay and wear some sandals, man. Anyway, I'm wearing a grey t-shirt dress with that twist thingy right above the waist and the holes at the sides with my vans. I'm gonna look hot. I'm straightening my hair, too, and going full on with the makeup. Like, contour and highlight, my Nyx Wonderstick, baking, my elf translucent powder, my Naked palette for my eyes, and my lovely matte Transylvania Nyx lippie!" Alya cradled the small lip cream to her face.
"Alya, this isn't a tutorial. You're just talking to me. Oh, can I borrow your Heroin? The Mac lipstick."
"Nah, that won't look nice. Wear the Paris shade in the Nyx stuff. I'll put it in my bag for you."
"Okay, see you at school."
"Bye, girl!" The video-chat disconnected and Marinette made a move to change, but received a text from Alya.
put ur hair down and wear a headband. see u later. :3
Marinette quickly responded.
Okay, I will. Thank you for the advice.
np. Alya responded. if ur early i'll do ur makeup. i'm bringing my lighter wonderstick and my elf eye palette. and my smol highlighter with the little brush.
No thanks, alya, I'll pass. I just want the Paris. XD
ugh, have it ur wya.
Do you mean way?
whatever
Marinette laughed, but quickly got dressed and walked to her school where her friends were waiting for her at the school.
"Whoa, Mari, you look hot, today." Nino said, wearing bright blue basketball shorts and a white tee. His hand went around Alya's waist and he kissed her neck tenderly. "Why does everyone look hot today? Like, Alya, that dress clings to all the right places. It just sucks that Chloé is wearing the same thing, but she just doesn't look right." Nino cocked his head as he stared at the blonde.
"She's not no shape and is just a box. It's kinda hilarious." Alya snorted. "And that makeup looks horrible. The last time people had makeup like that was the early 2000's. There's no crease color or highlight or eyeliner- it's just gross!"
"That's not nice!" Marinette frowned at elbowed her best friend. "That just makes you like her."
"But it's the truth. I've seen her put on eyeliner and there is a reason she doesn't wear it." Adrien came up behind Marinette and hugged her from behind. "Hello, milady." He kissed her cheek. She turned around to kiss his lips. They had started dating as civilians the day before Nino and Alya figured out their secrets. The day they started to date, Chat had asked Ladybug why she was so happy and she said it was because she was finally dating her crush, Adrien Agreste. Chat had sputtered for a bit until he confessed that he was Adrien and, in turn, Ladybug had confessed that she was Marinette. They shared a kiss and said their good byes at the stroke of midnight because they had school the next day. After school the day after, the four were supposed to hang out, but Adrien and Marinette had to bail because of an akuma attack. Nino and Alya took this time to have sex and then they started to brainstorm the possible people. It was only a matter of time before they stringed everything together. They confronted the others as soon as they could have, and that's how that happened.
"Hi, kitty."
"Ugh! That- that skank! She brainwashed my Adrien to be with her! UGH!" Chloé cried after seeing Adrien with Marinette. "And how dare she wear the same dress as me?!" She continued to shout in anger as Sabrina ran behind her wearing jean shorts and a tank-top.
"First of all: Bitch-" Alya started before Nino pulled her into a kiss.
"Let's get to class, guys." Marinette grabbed Adrien's hand and dragged him to their first period class. Once they were seated, the group started to talk about their summer plans and whatnot. The bell was about to ring as a beautiful couple walked in the classroom. The girl was tall and slender, wearing light blue jeans and a loose, light green top. On her feet were black flats. She had olive skin and almond shaped eyes that indicated she was Asian, but she also looked like she had some Caucasian in her. Her hair was blonde and her eyes were a stormy, grayish blue. Her left ring finger was a beautiful ring with a large diamond with emeralds and topazes around it on a gold band. The man was just as handsome. He had pale skin with bright red hair and green eyes, and freckles across his cheeks, nose, and down his neck. He wore a simple, white graphic tee with the Nightwing symbol on it and dark jeans and very nice Nike sneakers. On his own left ring finger, sat a similar ring, but all of the jewels were the same size. The couple began to speak to the teacher, the girl in clear French, but the boy had an American accent.
"Hey, Adrien, are you, like, their love child or something?" Alya said, laughing.
"Hahaha, very funny." Adrien deadpanned.
"No, but you seriously look like the girl. Look." Nino pulled up a picture of Adrien on an editing app and made his skin a bit darker and made his eyes the same color and shape.
"Why do you have that?" Marinette asked.
"I put the head of a dragon onto a bear with this baby. But anyway, he looks exactly her, now. Well, not exactly, but pretty close. Oh, shit, they are coming this way." Nino hurriedly put his phone away as the group acted "casual."
"Hi, I'm Artemis Crock- sorry, West, and this is my husband of two days, Wally. I would like to speak to Adrien, if it's possible. If not, it's fine if we spoke to all of you." Artemis thought about it for a moment. "You know what, it would be better to speak to all of you." She smiled.
Wally said something in English. "Are you sure about this beautiful?"
"I'm sure about everything, Baywatch." Artemis snapped before started to speak in French once again. "If you all could step outside with me please?" The four went outside the room where the teens were nervous. Marinette gripped Adrien's hand tightly as they were led out the classroom.
"We know that Adrien is Chat Noir and that Marinette is the Ladybug." Wally said, his American accent thick in his voice.
Adrien and Marinette tried to play it off. "Pfffft, what are you talking about?"
"I can't be Ladybug, I'm too clumsy."
"You don't have to lie to us, we are Artemis and the Flash, the heroes of Central City and the Justice League. The original Flash is taking sometime off for his kids."
"I don't believe you, prove it." Nino said, glaring. Wally shrugged his shoulders as a fast wind whipped through the air. Before the group knew it, they were on the roof and Wally and Artemis had changed into their outfits that they saved the world in, but with their cowls off. Nino let out a screech of joy. "You guys are actually superheroes. Like, bigger than those two!" He pointed to Marinette and Adrien.
"Nino!" Alya cried, as she hit him upside on the head. "Now they know that those two really are Ladybug and Chat Noir!"
Nino wasn't bothered at all. "Are you gonna recruit us for your team? We don't have any superpowers!" He cried and hugged his girlfriend of one year.
"You don't need superpowers, like my wonderful wife, here. All she has is her amazing bow and arrows and she can beat my ass as much as she wants with it." Wally's hands went around her waist and he nuzzled his head into her neck.
"We aren't going to take you guys in for a number of reasons. One, the two of you are civilians. Two, you are untrained, and three, someone needs to cover for Adrien and Marinette when they are on missions." Artemis said to Nino and Ayla as she pried off her husband.
"What about us?" A high-pitched voice said. It was Marinette's kwami, Tikki. Floating next to her was the other miraculous and kwami, Plagg, munching on a piece of cheese. "I'm Tikki and this is Plagg. Will we get proper accommodations when we are on missions?"
Wally smirked. "If those accommodations are food, there's a whole room in the Bioship for food. Just food everywhere. Chicken-Whizzies, Chocos, cheese, sweets, and more! There is also a small resting area in the ship for those who need to rest. If using your... Pixies?-"
"Kwamis."
"Or Miraculouses."
"Whatever, if using them is a times deal, wait until you land to suit up. Or is the Bioship is attacked."
"So how did you find out about us?" Marinette asked.
"The Batallite. It's just a satellite sent up by the Justice League that can keep track on the world. We took interest in you two when you defeated the first... akumas, was it?" Artemis asked. They nodded. "You guys should go back now, I would like to speak with Adrien alone." Wally quickly changed them back and took the others down to the main floor.
"This might sound really bad, but I'm your half sister." Artemis said, twiddling her thumbs.
Adrien blinked a few times before sharply saying, "What?"
"Your father isn't your father. He just the man that was cheated on. Your mother and my father- our father- had an affair when my dad came here for work. He stayed for about a year when I was four going on five and my- our- sister was eight going on nine." Artemis took a deep breath. "They fell in love and started to see each other behind your father's- Gabriel's- back. You shouldn't be Adrien Agreste, you should be Adrien Crock." She sighed. "I'm sorry you had to learn all of this. It's just- I only learned about it two weeks ago. I was visiting him. He is in prison for life."
"Who is he?" Adrien asked after a few moments of silence.
"He is Lawrence Crock, otherwise, and widely, known as Sportsmaster." Artemis laid a hand on his shoulder. "When your mother died, it should have been in her will that you weren't Gabriel's son."
Tears fell from Adrien's eyes. "That's why my father stopped loving me." He fell to the floor. Artemis followed, cradling the boy to her chest.
"I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry." Tears escaped her own eyes. She began to tell him stories of his family and about Jade, Paula, Lian, Roy, and, sadly, Lawrence. After a few minutes, Adrien was well enough to go back to class. Before they did, however, they exchanged numbers. The half-siblings walked hand in hand back to the classroom, where Wally was teaching the Chemistry class, claiming that he worked at S.T.A.R. Labs and could do anything chemistry related. He proved the teacher, who doubted him, wrong and fist-bumped Nino. When the siblings entered the room, the new tension was so thick that you could cut it with a knife. The resemblance was uncanny. The same hair, same face-shape, same red, puffy eyes.
"Can I come to your hotel after school?" Adrien asked in a small voice.
"Of course, hun." Artemis pushed back his hair and kissed his forehead. She and Wally left together, waving goodbye to the group of friends. Adrien turned to his friends.
"She's my half-sister. My mom cheated on Gabriel and I came about. It's just that, nothing else." He pulled out his phone and called Nathalie. "Tell my I'm going to Central City with my half sister and her husband next week. I'm not coming back until the end of the summer. Good day."
True to his word, Adrien kissed Marinette goodbye and waved it to his other friends. He was about to leave when Nino slammed into him, hugging him with all his might.
"Feel better, bro. It will get better." Adrien hugged his best friend tightly, taking all his will not to cry again. They broke away after a few moments and that's when Alya did the same. After two seconds, she held him at arms length.
"It's so weird seeing you without a smile, especially on the last day of school. But hey, at least you'll be spending two months in America!" Alya said and that earned a smile from him.
Marinette stayed in her spot, her eyes downcast. She sniffled. That's what caught Adrien's attention. He walked over to her and gripped her chin lightly, turning her face to look at him. "Hey, what's wrong?" He asked, concerned.
"We just started to date and now you are leaving. I don't want you to go..." Adrien pulled her into his chest and rested his chin on her head.
"I'm sorry, it's just that I have family that I missed out on. I have a niece! She's supposed to be burgundy-haired with darkish-light skin and blue-gray eyes and beautiful. Her hair is progressively getting darker. I missed it when it was a bright, luxurious red; a red like Wally's. According to Artemis, she's the most joyous child in the world, along with Wally's cousins. I missed out on two years of my little niece's life. Please, forgive me."
"Stop it! I should be the one apologizing! You missed out on seventeen years with your family, but I'm too selfish because I don't want you to leave me!" She wrapped her arms around his torso tightly and sobbed into his chest.
"HA! Look at that wench! She's such a dork and a bad one, too! If I were you, Adrien, I would dump her for someone who would pay for your ticket! Like me, for example." Chloé sneered. Adrien laid a kiss on her head and let her go, stomping over to Chloé.
"Listen, here, bitch. I don't want you harassing my girlfriend any more so you better stay out of her way or I will personally fly back here to beat the shit out of your dirty ass." Chloé was genuinely scared of Adrien with a dark look and a scowl on his face. "I am dealing with enough shit as it is, and I don't need to deal with yours, as well."
In the distance, clapping was heard. Apparently, Wally and Artemis came to pick Adrien up. Artemis was clapping while Wally was on his knees, bowing down to Adrien. "Savagery at it's fucking finest because that chick is gonna need to go on a three year journey to find the Avatar to recover from that burn."
"Do you remember when I did that to Linda? She even had her kids with her when she was saying how I was a skank." The couple laughed.
"Like it was yesterday." Wally wiped an imaginary tear from his eye.
Artemis glared at him playfully. "It was yesterday, dumbass. She was in the airport." The blonde slapped him upside on the head.
He turned to her. "Why do you always do that?" From there, one of their classic Walart arguments, as Dick called them, sprung.
Three minutes passed ad Adrien decided to speak up. "Guys. Guys!" It didn't get their attention. "GUYS!" He shouted, and finally got their attention. "Why are you here? I was going to take my driver over."
Wally whined. "We were about to kiss. All those arguments end in a kiss."
Artemis elbowed him lightly. "Later. In the room." She winked and threw a suggestive smile. "Anyway, we contacted a few of our friends after learning about your interests through more spying. We have Mari Mccabe-" Marinette gasped. "The Wayne family, the head of Wayne Enterprises-" Nino gasped. "And Lois Lane." Alya gasped.
"I love Ms. Lane's work! She's the reason I know English!" Alya cried.
"And Mari Mccabe! She is amazing and I've wanted to work with her before I've wanted to work with Gabriel Agreste!" Marinette cried, clasping her hands together.
"And the entire Wayne family! All my merch is WayneTech merch, dude!" Nino shouted. "Even my headphones!"
"That's awesome! We contacted them about you guys coming to America to intern over the summer. Of course, you guys will be spread out. Nino, you will be living in Wayne Manor with the Waynes in Gotham. Marinette, you would be living in Mari's apartment, with her. And Alya, we got you your own apartment in our names near Lois's apartment. I would tell you to go live with her, but it's packed. There's our close friend Conner, his dad Clark, and Clark's cousin, Kara all living with Lois. Conner is moving out soon, though. He and M'gann- I mean Megan, who's M'gann, are finally moving in together!" Wally said, doing a little happy dance. Artemis smiled and began to speak.
"That is, if you guys accept."
"How will we be able to contact each other?" Alya asked.
"For one, you guys can video chat." The group pouted. "We will also grant you guys Zeta-Beam access that will allow you to go across the world in seconds." The group, minus Adrien, who smiled, started to cheer.
The blond boy took his girlfriend into his arms. "See, you don't have to leave me. We just won't see each other as often."
Marinette looked at Artemis. "How will we come back to Paris if there is another akuma attack?"
Artemis was about to speak again, but a black car pulled up and Gabriel Agreste came out. She turned to him and smiled. "Hi, I am Artemis Crock-West and this is my husband of two days, Wally. I am Adrien's half sister and his father, and the rest of his family, wants to meet him. That's why I came here. Also, I am on my honeymoon with Wally." Artemis stuck out her hand for him to shake but completely ignored her and went straight to Adrien. Nino stepped in front of his friend in a protective manner.
"You will never harm him again." Nino growled, his eyes narrowing, but was pushed out of the way gently by Gabriel.
Adrien was blown away when Gabriel captured him in a bone-crushing hug. "Adrien, I am so, so sorry for the way I treated you. You were all I had left of your mother, but to know that she cheated on me... It killed me." He held his surrogate son at arms length. "Do you remember when I was in the hospital after your mother died?" Adrien nodded. "I had overdosed on pills and medicine, hoping to commit suicide. To get away from you. I did not want to raise you after that. I was about to throw you onto the street until Nathalie reminded me of every moment we had together. 'Blood or not, he is still your son,' were her words. As a young boy, you looked exactly like your mother, but now, as you are growing up, you look more and more like your own father. You aren't even that slender anymore; you have his muscular, large body. I am sorry I chose to neglect you all those years, it's just- you aren't my son." Tears came from both of their eyes and Gabriel felt his surrogate son's hands weave around his torso.
"It's fine, Poppa. I forgive you." Gabriel's breath hitched at the name Adrien called him when he was a boy. "If I was in your position, I don't know what I would have done." Adrien threw a glance at Marinette but looked away quickly. They broke apart after a few moments.
"You may do whatever you like, even stay in America if that is what makes you happy. I can arrange for it." Gabriel turned to Artemis. "Take care of my son, please." With that, the designer left.
Adrien tried to reach out to him. "Poppa..." He fell to the floor, sobbing again. Wally picked the boy up and threw him over his shoulder. He nodded his head to the group.
"C'mon, guys. Let's go." They went to the
A week later, the entire group was on their way to Gotham City, where the craziest of their adventures await.
