Adrien's P.O.V.

"I don't know, Nino. My father is expecting me tonight..." I rub the back of my neck, a nervous habit that I never really notice.

"C'mon Dude! You can't disappoint the boss!"

I really don't want to go...

I sigh and lean my head against the seat.

"Fine. Where are we going?"

Nino grins and throws back a shot.

"That's classified. I'm driving."

I look at him, wide-eyed.

"I don't think that's a good idea. You've had nine shots..."

Nino just rolls his eyes.

"I'm a great driver. And I'm not a lightweight." He smirks.

He stands up and gestures for me to stand.

I stand up slowly and reach for my wallet in my back pocket, pulling out a fifty, paying for Nino's shots and my friends drinks.

"Guys, I'm leaving." I shout over the music.

Chloe Bourgeois looks up at me and pouts.

"Why do you have to leave so soon, Adriekins? We barely got to hang out."

Probably because I was avoiding you.

"Oh, uh... my father's expecting me. We'll talk tomorrow."

Nope. Probably gonna keep avoiding you.

She squeals. "So you tomorrow, Adriekins!"

Everyone shouts out a goodbye and turns back to Lila, probably listening to another one of her stories about her modeling gigs in other countries.

"C'mon, man! It's almost ten!"

What am I getting myself into?

As Nino pulls up in front of a rundown building, I give him an impressed look.

"You managed to drive us to our destination without getting us arrested or killed. Impressive."

Nino grins. "I told you. I'm not a lightweight. I can hold my liquor."

He proceeds to open the door and climb out of the car.

"C'mon. We're already late."

I slowly walk around the car to Nino's side and look up at the windows.

"Are you sure this is the right place? It looks a little... empty?" I glance at him.

He walks up the steps and knocks twice.

"I'm sure, dude."

The door opens a crack and half of a face peeks out.

"Password."

Nino sighs. "Rose. C'mon."

The girl, Rose, raises an eyebrow and smiles.

"That's not the password, Carapace."

Nino's groans and rubs his face.

"Miraculous." He mutters.

Rose opens the door and smiles.

"Who's this, Carapace?"

Nino gestures towards me.

"Name's Adrien. He's a friend."

Rose holds out her hand.

"I'm Rose, if you hadn't caught it. Nice to meet you Adrien."

"Nice to meet you too." I smile.

She gestures to the right, a room where arguing can be heard.

"Everyone's in there. Meeting is about to start soon." She closes the door behind us and follows us into what was probably the living room at one point, but has been turned into the Justice League headquarters.

"Carapace! There you are! We thought you were going to be later than usual." A girl with brown hair dyed red at the tips shouts to Nino.

"Adrien, this is Alya, a.k.a. Rena. She's my girlfriend." Nino tells me and sits down beside her.

"Adrien. Nino has told us all about you." Rena smiles.

"All good things, I hope." I joke.

"Not all, but that's fine." She jokes back.

I smile and looks around the room, making eye contact with everyone in the room.

"Oh right." Nino leans towards me and points to the other people in the room. "That's Juleka, Meelan, Ivan, Nathaniel, Luka, Duusu, Noroo, Trix, Plagg, And Tikki. And you've already met Rose." He introduces. "Guys, this is Adrien."

"Hi." Everyone greets.

"Hello." I stutter out.

A black-haired, green eyed boy, Plagg, walks up to me, graceful and a little feline.

"Hey, Plagg's the name. And hacking is my game." He offers his hand.

I shake his hand.

"Adrien... hey uhh-" I start until I'm interrupted.

"Who's this?

Whoo! Chapter One! Done! It was a little long but whatevs! Who cares! ~
