Cat Noir climbed up the steps and entered the Agreste Mansion. Gabriel closed the doors and exhaled. Cat Noir set Marinette down and answered, "The Magician of Misfortune returned and he had some new tricks up his sleeve."

They went to the dining room. Marinette sat down at the table and Cat Noir did the same. Glasses of water were already there, along with a plate of cheese and a plate of chocolate chip cookies. Marinette slowly began to sip some water as Tikki started nibbling on a cookie. Gabriel looked at Cat Noir. "So how did it go?"

"It was quite difficult. The Magician created a giant rabbit monster from a bunch of rabbits and the five of us had difficultly facing him. After realizing the Magician was getting closer to the Eiffel Tower, the trio decided to deal with the giant hare while we stop Magician of Misfortune."

"And how did that turn out?" Terra inquired.

"Not well, but it could have been worse. One of the superheroes was knocked unconscious after we left and it took a while to defeat the villain, but we eventually got him."

"Hawkmoth's attacks are becoming less frequent." Gabriel stated. "I'm not sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing."

Marinette looked at him curiously. "Why would it be a bad thing?"

"Ever since the downfall of Queen Bee and Volpina, the amount of akuma attacks has lowered dramatically. Not only that, Hawkmoth hasn't created a new akumatized villain in several weeks. He's having to use the same villains over again."

Cat Noir looked at him strangely and a little confused. "But wasn't that occurring before the Day of the Rising Moon?"

"Yes, but my point still remains." He sighed. "I don't know why he's doing this."

Terra shrugged. "Maybe he's running out of victims to akumatize."

"I would say that, but Paris has millions of residents, tourists and temporary guests. I can name several people who haven't fallen into Hawkmoth's clutches, including you, me and Marinette's parents. I pray that will never happen."

"Or maybe he's so distressed from the loss of his two greatest servants." Tikki suggested. "One of which actually caused a lot of akumas."

Marinette smiled warmly. "You make a good point, Tikki."

"I can't help but wonder if he's saving his energy for a more powerful akuma." Gabriel added.

Cat Noir asked, "Can one akuma really be more powerful than another?"

"I believe so. Is Plagg going to eat his cheese?"

"That glutton wants me to detransform so he can eat his stinky cheese."

Glutton? How rude, Adrien!

"Shut up, Plagg." The others looked at him strangely. "Sorry, an argument with my kwami. I guess I better give the cat what he wants. Plagg, claws out." Cat Noir detransformed and Plagg started eating away at the slices of assorted cheeses. Adrien looked at Plagg eating for a few seconds before turning back to the others. "You know what I think? I think this means Hawkmoth's on his last legs. We can tell that he's running out of ideas since he's having to recycle villains. Hopefully, we'll find him and end this Miraculous Civil War once and for all."

"I hope you're right. Now I'd advise you both to get some rest."

"Yeah, I should get some sleep. Goodnight everyone." Marinette said before going up the stairs.

"Alright, goodnight mom. Goodnight dad." Adrien said.

"Goodnight Adrien."

"Sleep well, you two superheroes." Terra added.

Adrien went upstairs to his room and slept throughout the night. A few days later, Cat Noir and Ladybug asked for the heroes to meet up on the rooftop Grand Paris hotel. Jade Ninja was the first to arrive, and then Abeille arrived about two minutes later.

"So what's this about?" the bee superheroine asked.

"There's something we went to show you." Cat Noir answered.

"Huh?" Renard asked.

"Perfect, everyone's here. Follow me!" Ladybug exclaimed.

They went to Temple VI Paris Apartments, where Master Fu's room was. At the door entrance there was a digital lock with a password. Ladybug entered the passcode and they stepped into what used to be Master Fu's massage shop.

"Welcome to the Safe Hero Haven. A safe haven for us superheroes. Furnished with five beds, one for each of us, private storage areas. It has a full kitchen, bathrooms and even what used to be a storage area. Now it's just a big empty space, similar to an attic. You can go there if you're about to detransform. And of course, a living room with a very comfy sofa, 32 inch screen tv with every channel known to man, a Play Station 4, Wii U, and an Xbox 360 with various games. Feel free to bring your own! We also got a small computer if you need to work on school projects or want to see Alya's Ladyblog."

"Wow, this is totally legit!" Jade Ninja exclaimed.

"Sweet!"

Renard looked at Ladybug. "But what's the purpose of this?"

She stayed silent for a moment. "If you're a fugitive, can't stay at your home or otherwise just need to get away from everything, you can come here. Sometime after Master Fu's tragic demise at the hands of our enemies, I became a fugitive and my civilian form was forced into hiding. I don't want to see you guys go through the same thing I did."

Jade, enticed with curiosity, looked towards the red and black superhero. "How did you do all of this?"

"Well, technically, we didn't make it. Mr. A owns this small apartment and he hired workers to refurbish the entire place."

The trio looked at him, wide-eyed with curiosity. "Mr. A? Who's he?" Renard asked.

"We can't tell you too much about him, but trust us, he's no enemy. He's an ally of ours. He was formerly a Miraculous wielder and he was supposed to become the Great Guardian, but at the last minute he backed out and ran away from it all."

Abeille blinked twice. "So why isn't he fighting with us now?"

"Several years ago, he unintentionally caused a tragedy. He never forgave himself for what he had done, so he gave up his Miraculous. He still has it to this day, but he never wields it." Cat Noir said.

Renard turned away and clutched his Miraculous. "I feel bad for him."

"He tries to help us as much as he can, but between his highly demanding job and his reluctance to use his Miraculous, it's rather difficult."

"So what's the access code into this haven?" Abeille asked.

Ladybug wrote down on three different slips of paper the code; 06031991. Later on, they were at the top of the Eiffel tower, which surprisingly was deserted, and spoke about the haven.

Cat Noir leaned against the railing. "They don't even know the significance of the code."

"Why would they? It was your father's graduation date."

He sat down on the railing. He buried his face in his folded arms. "I'm worried that the other three will eventually find out who Mr. A really is, and if Gabriel finds out that.. Oh man, he'd kill me..."

"I'm sure he wouldn't overreact if they find out." Cat Noir looked at Ladybug. "And besides, there's no way they would find out. I asked the receptionist at the front desk to not tell anyone who owns the apartment. You and I are the only ones who know."

"Oh My Lady, have I ever told how smart you are?"

She chuckled softly to herself. "I believe you have, but just to be sure, say it again."

He looked at Ladybug adoringly. "My Lady, you are the smartest and wisest girl I know."

"Oh, you good kitty." She looked at the city and its millions of lights. "Ya know, I can't believe I once hated you after the argument over the Miraculous Book. I wanted nothing to do with you. Yet now I love you, and nothing can ever break us apart."

"Having you as my partner in crime fighting and as the love of my life, makes me the luckiest cat in the world."

"Oh mon chaton..." She kissed him, which still stunned him. For three seconds, he was essentially paralyzed. He then closed his eyes, wrapped his arms and his tail around her waist and deepened the kiss. "We're superheroes. What could happen?"

A few days later, in the middle of July, a someone got akumatized.. again. The victim? Simon Grimault, who became Simon Says again.

"Simon Says, this is your second chance. You can get revenge on Gabriel Agreste." Hawkmoth said.

"Yes. I know what you want. You want the Miraculouses." he said as he turned into Simon Says again.

"Yes, but this time I have an additional request. If you should see a girl named Marinette, bring her to me. Once you have her in your clutches, I'll tell you where to take her."

Simon Says smirked. "Certainly, Hawkmoth. Although what does she look like?"

"She's a young lady of 15 years. Her blue hair is in pigtails, complimenting her blue eyes. She's always wearing a pink purse around her torso and black stone earrings."

"No problem. Finding her should be easy."

He set up, looking for any of his three targets.

Fortunately for him, Marinette was not hard to find. She was just outside the Cesarie Mansion, leaving the grounds with her friend Alya.

Alya asked her, "So when are you doing to tell your parents that you're living at the Agreste Mansion instead of the Cesarie residence?"

Marinette rubbed her arm. "Well..."

She gasped upon seeing Simon Says. The duo stood there, frozen in shock as he pulled out one of his cards.

"Simon Says, you're my humble servant!" He threw the card towards Marinette.
