Chapter 1: Marinette

Me: Hello everyone! Somehow, What They Have Missed has become a part of a series. They can be read alone but I might sprinkle in some references to another fic in the series here and there. This is just a two-shot I made to continue the series so I hope you enjoy! See you later!

Marinette figured it a couple weeks after they became superheroes.

It really wasn't hard. At first, they were terrible at lying. Marinette knew something was up, but she just couldn't figure it out back then. But then Rena Rogue appeared, and she knew instantly that it was Alya. They looked too much alike for it not to be a coincidence.

But when she tried to bring it up with someone else, their answer was astonishing.

"It's probably just a coincidence, Marinette. Maybe Rena Rogue is Alya's sister?"

That was just one example of the response they gave and Marinette was surprised to find how oblivious Paris was.

But the real nail in the coffin was when she overheard a conversation between Alya and Nino.

Marinette honestly did not mean to eavesdrop but when she realized that they were talking about her, she knew she had to listen in.

"... tell Marinette," she heard the tail end of what Nino was saying.

"No one, especially not Marinette, cannot know that we are superheroes. Their life would be in danger and I don't want that for her or for anyone," Alya replied.

"Wouldn't it be easier to tell her the truth. I hate lying to her and Adrien," Nino said.

Marinette had never met Adrien, but she knew he was Nino's best friend. He had a very strict schedule however, leaving no room for friends. It was a miracle that Adrien could find a chance to spend time with Nino in the first place.

Alya sighed and said, "Look, I know you hate this and I do too. But what's more important: keeping them safe or putting them in danger?"

"I… I get what you mean. But I still don't like it," he said.

"I'll keep that in mind. Anyways, do you know what are next mission is?"

Marinette tuned out the conversation after that as the realization that her friends were superheroes hit her. She knew that the rest of her friends were involves too as only a few days after Rena Rogue's first appearance, Queen Bee made her debut.

And while Marinette could have been mad because they kept it a secret, but she understood. Heck, if she was a superhero, she probably would've done the same. Being a superhero was dangerous and one of the most common tropes that was actually really accurate was that the villain used the hero's family or friends to defeat them.

Rena Rogue already had a nemesis named Lady Wifi who appeared a week after Rena' debut. No one knew the full extent of her abilities, but she was dangerous nonetheless.

And because of that, she would remain oblivious for her friends' sake. She would pretend that her friends weren't superheroes and protect them as much as she could for a civilian. It was the least she could do since they were protecting Paris.

But even of they weren't, Marinette would do anything for her friends.
