(I am so sorry if the characters start off OoC, it's just going to be for this chapter, hopefully, since it won't be from my character's point of view.)
Adrien had just sat down with Nino in their usual seats, waiting for class to start as they talked about making possible plans. "Adrien, can you hang out on Friday?"
"I might be able to around 6 or so... I don't know. Nino, you know my father-"
Nino cut him off with a sigh, shaking his head. "Yeah, I know. Don't worry about it, Adrien. Let's just plan for you to come over and play videogames, and if your father decides to cram a photo shoot in then just text me."
"I'm sorry, Nino. Really." Adrien sighed and his usual smile fell, but Nino gave him a reassuring smile and placed his hand on his shoulder as the bell rang, and together they turned to face the front of the classroom, waiting for the teacher to walk in.
"Hey, look! Miss Bustier has someone with her!" Aliya said excitedly behind him, causing him to look towards the door along with a few more people in the class.
As the teacher opened the door and stepped into the room, the class fell silent as an extra pair of footsteps accompanied her's. Adrien's eyes widened when he saw the person, a boy his age who had snow white hair and striking red eyes. The boy's eyes traveled slowly around the classroom, and when they landed on Adrien he felt his heart pound in his chest. He looked so scared and nervous, even a little sick. He reminded Adrien of his first day at public school.
He smiled at him in what he hoped looked reassuring, and watched as the teacher led him by the small of his back into the front of the classroom. The boy's bag was resting against his hip and slung over his shoulder, but he was holding a notebook so tight to his chest that his knuckles were turning white. His body was shaking ever so slightly, and Adrien wished he could help calm the boy from Chloe's accuse gaze now that the teacher had placed him in line with her seat for his introduction.
"Everyone, this is Jasper Wells, a transfer from America. Now, normally in these scenarios we'd have the person introduce themselves, but due to an accident, Jasper can no longer speak." At the mention of this accident, Jasper flinched and a hand shot up to his throat. The teacher gave him a quick apology and looked back to the class as his hand slowly moved back to his notebook. "Please be kind to him and treat him well, alright?" She looked around and hummed slightly in though before pointing towards Nathanael. "Why don't you sit next to Nathanael, I'm sure he'd love to help you get used to the school."
Jasper nodded, seemingly ignoring Chloe's scoff about his condition. Adrien gave her a little glare, but he wondered if he even heard it. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Marinette giving Chloe a particularly harsh glare of her own.
He watched, much like the rest of the class, as Jasper sat down and flipped to a page in the notebook he held, showing it to Nathanael. The quiet red-head smiled and nodded, returning a greeting. The teacher cleared her throat and smiled. "Alright, everyone. Let's start the lesson now, okay?" With that, Adrien turned to face the teacher once again, making a mental note to talk to Jasper as soon as he could.
As the bell rang, Adrien stood and collected his things, watching as kids swarmed around Jasper like moths to a flame. "Aw man, I wanted to get to him before everyone else!" Alya said with a sigh. Nino laughed softly at her reaction and Adrien sighed before looking at his friends. "We should go, before we end up late. We can talk to him later when he isn't being overwhelmed."
"Are you sure we should leave him like that? He looked beyond terrified..." Marinette said softly, looking over with a worried expression to where the crowd of students swarmed.
"The last thing he probably needs is more people walking up to him and trying to talk to him." Alya said almost knowingly, taking the clumsy girl's hand and pulling her out of the room. Adrien glanced longingly towards the new boy, seeing his nervous expression for a moment as Kim began trying to talk to him. His heart hurt as he saw such an expression his face, before looking at Nino and nodding. "Let's go."
That night, as Ladybug and Chat Noir chased after the most recent Akuma victim, a baseball player who seemed to have lost an important game, the last thing they expected to see was a blur of white and hear a growl as whatever it was passed them. They screeched to a halt, staring at the blur as it jumped from the roof, and they saw that it was a boy as he was finally moving at a more human speed while he fell through the air.
He had blindingly white hair and what looked to be a wolf tail and ears. His outfit was not a skintight body suit like Chat and Ladybug had, but instead looked like ninja gear. His pants were navy blue at the bottom and slowly became a maroon color as it became a shirt. The shirt had no sleeves, and halfway down his biceps long gloves with with sharpened claws covered his hands. He had bandages on his right calf and near the top of his right arm glove, and a white vest covering the top of his outfit. Resting on the back of his hands and arms, were white metal guards. Like the super duo, he had a mask covering his eyes. The mask was a silver gray, with a small twirling design along half of it.
The male gracefully fell through the air like he had done it all the time, and he was heading straight for Fastball. He landed on the Akuma victim's back and he held on tight, making Fastball scream in annoyance. The scream made the duo snap out of their surprise and they ran after them, reaching the rooftops right above the fight. Ladybug called out her Lucky Charm, and was slightly annoyed to see that it was some giant water balloon catapult.
What do I do with this? She thought, looking around.
A deep growl broke Chat Noir and Ladybug's gazes from planning to seeing what was going on beneath them. The strange male with ears and tail just as white as his hair was crouched low on all fours, snarling inhumanly at the Akuma. The crumbling wall of a building off to the side was proof enough that he had gotten tossed from Fast Ball's back. "Hey! Stop lazing around and help, you two!" He snapped rather harshly. Ladybug gasped from his rudeness and Chat Noir laughed sheepishly.
"Well, we better help. My lady, do you have a plan?" Chat asked, grinning at his partner as the battle continued down below.
"I think so." Ladybug responded, looking around. She spotted a nearby lamppost the perfect distance away from a tree, and the chunks of rubble from the stranger's crash, then the fight. She could see the white-haired male watching them, waiting for a signal.
"Alright, Chat, I need you to grab a chunk of rubble that will fit into this pouch and meet me at the lamppost and tree." She said, watching him nod before bounding off to the rubble. She rushed to the lamppost and got one side of the catapult attached to the lamppost and stretched it to the tree. Chat came running with the rubble and together they placed it in the pouch and stretched it back, aiming for Fastball. The stranger saw what they were doing and he leapt out of the way, climbing up the side of the nearby building and watching as Fastball turned to face the duo. With a snarky pun from Chat, the duo let go of the catapult and the rubble when flying straight towards its target.
Fastball, seeing the rubble coming close and his instincts kicking in, took his large bat and swung, hitting the rubble with all his might. The bat broke, and a small black butterfly flew out of it. Ladybug used her yoyo to catch the Akuma, and when she brought it back, released it, showing the pure white butterfly that flew away.
"Bye-bye, pretty butterfly." She said as they watched it fly away, before throwing her lucky charm into the air after removing it from the tree. All the damage was fixed, and the stranger came bounding over to them. "Thanks for finally stepping in there. Who are you two?" He asked, smirking slightly as he crossed his arms over his chest. Chat and Ladybug were surprised to see two different-colored eyes, a scar peaking out from the edges of the mask around the red left eye. His right eye was blue.
Chat was the first to speak. "My name is Chat Noir. This here is my partner, Ladybug." He draped an arm over her shoulders and leaned in to nuzzle her, but she quickly ducked out from his hold and lightly pushed him away by the nose. "Isn't she just the cat's meow?" He said dreamily, laughing softly at Ladybug's roll of her eyes.
The stranger didn't seem very impressed, but his eyes seemed interested in the people in front of him. "Mhm... My name is Wolven, and I'm here to help you defeat Hawkmoth." He said, when it suddenly seemed like a flip was switched and a smile grew on his face.
Chat Noir found that he instantly liked that smile.
"My Kwami told me to find you, but I wasn't expecting people around my age. How long have you guys had your kwamis? Your powers? Did you tell each other your secret identities, or are they still secret? I got my Kwami a few months ago, and I just moved here yesterday. I'm glad I was able to meet you guys so soon!" He began rambling, and Ladybug frowned, holding her hands up to stop him from continuing. "Hold on, what's with all the questions?"
The boy, Wolven, gasped and placed a hand over his mouth in shock. "Sorry! I-I just... I have a lot of questions and I normally don't get to talk in my civilian-"
Two beeps cut Wolven off, one from the necklace around his neck as a stripe on the middle pendant disappeared, and the other from Ladybug's earrings. She was down to four, while he was down to two. Wolven seemed more distressed than he should, and Chat couldn't help but wonder why.
"I-I should go, um... I'll see you guys later, I guess. When we have more time to talk." He quickly went bounding off, leaving the other heroes standing and staring at where he used to be.
"Well, I should go, too. See you later, kitty!" She waved and used her yoyo to swing away, and after waiting a moment, Chat Noir left as well, heading home to contemplate the arrival of the two new males with the white hair he met today.
