It had been the worst day that Alya had in a long time; she got caught sneaking through a private suite at the Le Grand Paris hotel, she would be doing some community service at the hotel in her free time, she had to face her mother's wrath when she found out due to being the hotel's head chef, she just found out about Ladybug and Cat Noir's latest victory which was a team up with an American superhero and she realized she had seriously damaged her friendship with Marinette.

Her gut feeling told her to go along with this scheme she came up with and despite her irritation with Marinette's behavior regarding Lila; she knew it was her fault this time. She had to go snooping around some guy she knew nothing about.

In hindsight she should have taken the time to talk to him and maybe tell him her side of the situation with Lila and maybe have him convince Marinette she was jsut being stupid.

Well it's unlikely he would ever listen to any explanation she had now, she was now just done with a speech from her mother and she had not been thrilled about her excuse or her explanation.

She was told how lucky she was to be given such light punishments considering what she had done was illegal. "You had a falling out with Marinette and you decided the best course of action was to go snooping around her new boyfriend thinking he was involved? The polite boy who was insisting he just had a normal dinner when asked what he and his aunt would want to eat?" her mother had told her incredulously and Alya had no response to that.

So she would be doing some community service, her time when not doing that or not at school or sleeping would be spent being grounded and she was now on the odds with her boyfriend (if they are even still together) and her best friend.

Nino had found their classmates hanging out with Lila and then decided to ask about Jagged Stone and her story revolving around him. He mentioned he was listening to Jagged's assistant saying he never liked cats.

Of course he had to vague about the story but still...

"Don't tell me you are siding with Marinette on picking on me due to jealousy, are you?" Lila asked bemused and Nino just glared. Lila sighed and told him "please, I think you should know better considering how much Marinette has hurt herself with her claims..."

"Actually, Lila I wanted to ask about what you said yesterday. The one about how you were with Prince Ali when he was visiting his father in hospital just before you came back here? I saw this story on the TV yesterday." Rose stated questioningly showing her phone screen which was about a story of Prince Ali's father back from a year long expedition.

Lila blinked and was stunned; she should have thought about that story a bit more but had been too caught up.

"Lila, I was just shopping with my parents and we saw your mother. She said something about the school having been closed for months due to the Akuma attacks, funny that I don't remember that and said as much." Max stated walking to where the group was and Lila was stunned, she did not need to her parents to catch onto that lie.

Then came up a limo and opened the door to reveal Adrien who asked "Lila, I was wondering if you want to come visit my mansion, my dad says he wants to speak to you."

Someone was about to speak up when Lila smirked and told him "of course Adrien, I am sorry guys but I will have to see you all tomorrow." She then jumped into the limo seat and fastened her seat belts.

After the limo drove off Adrien walked up behind the group out of breath, "Sorry I'm late, I had to take care of something... why are you looking at me like that?" Adrien stated and was confused by their dumbstruck expressions.

Lila in the limo then felt the seatbelt suddenly fasten herself loosely and saw in the car were several scary looking guys in body armor and masks. She looked to Adrien and was shocked to see him suddenly transform into a guy in a purple bodysuit and a white mask.

"Been keeping an eye on your parents getting info, your mother said something about you dating Gabriel Agreste's brat. Thought we could grab you while disguising as you but I am still amazed at how easily you fell for this trap. With you here, your parents will have to negotiate about handing over some documents we want. They call me the Chameleon and I am someone who is on the most wanted lists of several countries and was raised as a son by the great Red Skull himself; basically no one you should have disrespected by taking my name." The Chameleon told her in a low voice.

Lila was scared out of her life.
