Magi here. I hope you all enjoy this one. For this story it may be confusing at first, but it'll all make sense as the story progresses.
Honestly, I have no idea when the next update for this will be. I just want to see how well this chapter goes, so reviews, faves, follows will be help out!
Any questions pm me anytime! If you want to help out or any ideas also pm me! I do plan to make this as canon to the Miraculous universe as possible.
Last note - the time period takes place in between season 4 and Code Lyoko Evolution for the Lyoko Universe (of course it branches off the canon storyline), and (atm) months after the discovery of Volpina and the miraculous book (I say atm because I also want to include the bee miraculous user if possible, and 6 months or so past the aftermath of the Volpina episode is the earliest possible start of this story).
Enjoy!
Paris at night stood calm and bright, though a lone figure watched the sleeping city from a far away distance. You couldn't see what they looked like, however, because of their big hooded cloak that covered their entire figure as a gust of wind swept by from behind.
They stood there until 2 more mysterious figures approach the scene, standing on opposite sides of them. One hid their face, but a stream of white hair strands fell down out of the cloak on their left side. Another didn't use a hood since half of their face was covered by a dark grey shield from their black streamlined helmet with neon orange highlights.
The trio waited and talked amongst each other as they watched the city. Eventually 2 of the mysterious figures jumped down while the other flew behind them. They went deep into the darkness, hiding from the city lights and the eyes of black and purple butterflies that float high above the night sky. On the butterflies glowed a strange red eye-like symbol on its wings...

Chapter 1: [A New Day]
The bell starts to ring, warning the students within Collège Françoise Dupont that classes were about to begin. Amongst the students that still linger around the school steps was a boy of blonde hair who was walking up to his destination until he sees a boy in blue with a red cap at the top.
"Hey Adrien! Morning!"
"Morning to you too Nino."
As Adrien caught up to his seatmate and best friend Nino they walked the rest of the way to Madame Bustier's class. Even after a year and a half since his father, aka the famous designer of Paris Gabriel Agreste, let him attend public school, Adrien still felt himself as the luckiest boy in all of Paris. There was never a moment for him to feel like a normal boy with all the photoshoots, tutors, sports and music lessons his dad forced him to do especially after his mom disappeared from their lives. Luckily, that all changed after a series of events even if it met disobeying his father from time to time, and now Adrien and Nino were coming in close to their last year of middle school.
-snap-
"Ah!" Adrien held his head with one hand and he clutched tightly onto his bag strap.
"Woah, are you ok their pal?!" Nino attended to Adrien as soon as his friend got down to his knees, though the said boy dismissed him with a slight wave.
"Don't worry, I'm fine Nino. My head just felt weird all of a sudden, but it's gone now. I swear."
"You sure? You're really sweating there… Did something happen to you recently?"
"Hmm… not that I can think of. Just the same old shoots, fencing and school things." Plus that Adrien thought in his head, referring to the one secret he kept from anyone but the figure inside his bag. Nino helped Adrien get up and wrapped an arm around his shoulders while slowly walking to the door leading to their classroom.
"Alright, if you say so man. Seriously though, only you can say stuff like that as normal." As they parted, chuckling from Nino's words, they greeted their classmates until placing right into their assigned seats.
"Remember, I'm there for you dude. You just say the word and 'POOF!' I'm there." Nino motions his hands from his words, making Adrien laugh. Before he could reply, a new figure walks up to their desk and leans toward the middle.
"Hey guys! What's so funny?"
"Ah, morning Alya" Nino replied. He looks at the wavy haired girl, about to answer her when he noticed something. "Woah! You look like you haven't slept at all last night! Ok what got you all excited: more digging into our feline superhero? Did you finally found out what's underneath the mask?" Nino eyed Alya, not noticing the slight worry Adrien showed from the last question until Alya groaned.
"Ugh, I wish. I just forgot to do some work for literature, but I actually got big and exciting news for us! Ahem, Alya with the scoop here says that this class will have not just one, but 2 new students for the rest of the school year." Alya stood up right as she held up 2 fingers right at the surprised boys in front of her.
"No way, 2?! How? Do we know them?" Nino asked.
"Well, probably not anyone like model boy here or Chloe hopefully, if you know what I mean (the boys nod at this). I heard about it when I saw Madame Bustier heading to the headmaster's office. Teachers barely go there, so I 'kinda' went and took a 'quick peek' there."
"A quick peek huh?" Alya glared at Nino from his remark, though the boy laughed it off. "Haha- just kidding Alya. It's all good; actually, more than good. We'll finally have more excitement in this small class, and some new friends to boot."
Small? Adrien thought. He turned around to see what he remembered as the entire class. From their spot in the same desk as last year, Adrien looked at the other side to see Chloe, Sabrina, Nathanael and Lila, with Chloe and Sabrina again at the adjacent desk. Adrien then turned behind him to see Max, Juleka and Rose, but the desk behind him and Nino empty.
Weird. Was it always this small? Before Adrien could recollect his thoughts, Madame Bustier entered the room.
"Oh, that's my cue. Guess you'll know it when you see it. See ya'll at lunch." With that, Alya left to her seat next to Lila behind Chloe while Nino and Adrien shot a quick 'bye' at their friend before their teacher spoke.
"Morning class. Before we get started on today's lesson, we will be having two new students in our class from Germany." A rush of excited whispers fills the room for a moment until their teacher calms them. Adrien looked at Alya for a moment, who noticed him and winked back. "Alright settle down class. Let's not get too hasty here. They didn't get much rest from their trip and they're shy, so let's give them a nice warm welcome ok?"
The rooms quiets down but not much when Madame Bustier walked across the room, though Adrien didn't mind. He was equally as excited from his seat as everyone else in the room until Madame Bustier opens the door. When his new classmates came in, the first thing Adrien saw was that it was a boy and a girl. The boy had scruffy long brown hair with thin framed black glasses, and wore a grey over shirt with a dark green shirt that came with a hood, black cargo pants, black and white sneakers, and a black messenger bag.
Adrien thought the boy looked cool, but the girl truly caught Adrien's breath as he paid more attention to her appearance. She, unlike the boy, had dark blue hair that was down past her shoulders and had two pins with blue and green gems on the right side of her hair. Her outfit consisted of a loose short sleeved red blouse with an inverse white flower design on her bottom left. It was loosely tucked in her black short shorts that had pink ends, making it looked baggy as a result, and she also had on black leggings underneath her shorts plus red flats as she held onto her pink bag pack in her hand.
Adrien didn't notice he was staring at her until Nino elbowed him and gave a sly look that said 'You digging her out aren't ya bud?', making the boy turn away with his face blushed until another sharp pain, not as strong as the previous one, occurred.
-snap-
Ah! Wha- What was that? Adrien thought. As he lifts his head to see the girl again, he sees her staring at him. He couldn't help but feel something run throughout his body as they looked at each other. That something… Something… familiar-
"Johannes Stern." The new boy spoke as he pushes his glasses up, breaking off Adrien's line of thought. "Just call me Jan. This is Lili" Jan says as he casually gestures the girl next to him. "Before any of you ask, yes we're siblings - step-siblings. That's all."
Lili slightly bows after Jan's greetings while the excited commotion from the class gradually turned louder. This was immediately silenced by Madame Bustier through a few signal claps.
"Thank you" she turns to Jan and Lili. "It's nice to meet you Jan, Lili. Welcome once again to College Dupont. Now for your seats… why don't you two sit at the desk there behind Adrien and Nino."
Nino waved as Jan and Lili walked up to sit behind them. Jan sat behind Nino, and just as Lili walked up the steps she looked at Adrien for a brief moment before sitting behind him. To be honest, it surprised Adrien at first while Chloe and Lila slowly seethed in anger at the side with Alya smiling, but as she left his curiosity turned into confusion. For the rest of the time till lunch, Adrien had only one thought wandering in his mind.
Who… is she...
Lunch time was almost here, but Madame Bustier decided let her class off a few minutes early. She thought it would be a good opportunity for the class to get to know their new classmates more. At the moment, everyone crowded around Lili and Jan while Adrien and Nino turned around with Alya sitting on their desk in the middle. Everyone had individually introduced themselves and are now in the midst of asking questions.
Rose - "So Jan, Lili, you two just came from Germany right? What's it like there?"
Jan - "It's ok."
Max - "When did you both get here?"
Jan - "A few days ago."
Nathaneal - "H-how do you two like Paris so far?"
Jan - "It's ok."
Alya - "Do you need any help finding places?"
Jan - "Not needed."
The air around the class slowly turns grim at Jan's answers; the boy in question, however, paid more attention on his phone rather than his classmates. Alya leans toward Nino and whispers in his ear.
"I don't think they intend on being friendly at all. Lili hasn't even talked the entire time."
"Who knows, Madame Bustier did say they were shy. Just give them some time, and maybe they'll loosen up." Nino whispers back. He then turned his attention back to the siblings, deciding to take a different approach. "So Jan, what do you like to do for fun?"
"None of your business" Jan hastily replied. Nino squirmed in his seat slightly in fear of the look Jan gave him, but mainly annoyance. As Adrien watches this, he decided to give it a try as well.
"I-It's ok if you don't want to share. T-Then, what about you Lili? Do you have anything you like to do?" Adrien asks, however the model was only met with silence from the girl in front of him. Lili simply continued to read her book, acting as if she wasn't part of the discussion. This ticked off Chloe in particular, who stood between Adrien and Lili's side of their desks. In response, she slammed her hand near the new girl for her attention, but this did not faze the new girl whatsoever.
"How dare you ignore Adrien's question! I don't know who you think you are, but you better answer Adrien, and give me and Adrien the respect we deserve or else-"
"Shut up. You're giving everyone a headache with that tone-deaf voice of yours." Jan says, cutting off Chloe. He puts away his phone and give the 'attention' Chloe wanted from them."Lili will talk when she wants to."
"Wh-What?!" Chloe grew angry by the minute and was about to fight back when Sabrina held her back from jumping onto their new classmate. Jan, unfazed by Chloe's actions, stood up and calmly collects his bag.
"Just so you know, and all of you better listen to this: leave me and Lili alone, and there will be no problems between us. None of you better think of doing something to Lili if I'm not around. I will know one way or another. Got it?" Jan glares everyone as he talks and everyone, even Chloe, steps back from the notion. He didn't even bother waiting for a response and started to leave.
"Let's go Lili." Lili gets up upon her brother's request and leaves with her stuff in tow, not bothering to look at Adrien or anyone else. They leave the room, creating a brief period of silence until Chloe screams.
"Told ya" Alya confirmed back to Nino. The boy himself was so annoyed, he turned back front and dropped his head like an anchor on his desk, not minding the pain it brought. Adrien also turned and looked back at the door briefly as Chloe spoke.
"OOOOOOOHHHHH! WHAT EXACTLY IS WITH THOSE SIBLINGS?!" Chloe was raging with fire, and more so as Juleka spoke.
"I think they were sorta cool."
"C-Cool?! Did you see they way he looked at us?" said Nathaneal.
"I can see why," Rose spoke, "although I agree with Juleka. Jan doesn't seem completely heartless. I mean, didn't you hear how protective he was on Lili? So cute~"
"Well, as 'cute' as it may be," said Max as he makes a dramatic pause while pushing his glasses up. "His attitude towards us is socially unacceptable. According to my calculations, it's likely possible that he falls under the 15.279% group of people who don't have friends and don't bother to make friends at all." Lila followed up on Max's words.
"Don't forget Lili," she said. "All she's done is follow Jan around and does what she wants. I do want to be friends with them (Well more than friends with Jan. Him or Adrien she thought), but if they refuse to be friends with us then there's no point. Doesn't mean I'll stop trying however (At least the sister is cute; she won't be a problem. I just got to be patient Lila also thought)."
"Well, good luck with that" said Alya to her seatmate before turning her attention to Adrien. "What do you think of them Adrien?"
"...hm?" Adrien finally took his eyes off the door and turned his attention to Alya, who sighed and shook her head in disbelief.
"Y-you… Nevermind. Just good luck to you too." She ended with a wink and headed off to the door. "Come on! Let's go eat already."
Adrien was still confused at the situation. He turned to Nino for clarification, but it looked like Nino chuckled before he gave him a smile and a thumbs up. Sometimes, Adrien couldn't believe he was friends with them, but he was nevertheless happy to know them.
