Alya and Sabine were sitting in Marinette's hospital room chatting when they saw a flash of pink in the general direction of the bed. Upon uncovering their eyes, they noticed that where an unconscious coma stated Marinette was, Ladybug gasping loudly sat now.

It didn't take Alya long to figure out what happened.

"Marinette… you're… you're...Ladybug?"

"Yes." Was all she could say. She was barely grasping her surroundings and now she had to add two more identity reveal conversations to her list. She didn't get to even process that fact before her mom tackled her in a hug. And continuously voiced her thoughts on these past few days until one sentence accidentally fell from her lips.

"Oh god! Do you have any idea how terrified I was when I found out the school exploded with you still in it! I was so worried-"

"Woah, woah, woah!" Alya said. "You knew that Marinette was ladybug!"

"Yes, I did." She stated calmly.

"But how?"

Her mom turned and smirked at her.

"You really didn't believe that you could keep something like that away from us. Did you?"

"Us?" Echoed Alya.

"Dad knew too!" Marinette shouted.

"Of course he did."

"Uh… this is too much for me to handle, I think I'm getting a headache."

She started rubbing at her temple.

"Well. Here's one positive thought."

They both turned to look at Alya.

"At least no one else was in the room when you transformed."

"Seriously." Sabine deadpanned.

"But why wasn't anyone else here… were they with Adrien."

They stopped suddenly and Sabine hugged Marinette carefully as she tried to break the news to her gently.

"Adrien woke up coughing and vanished. He was also in this room with you and removed us to investigate. He's been missing for a while so everyone except us two went out to search for him. But we haven't gotten any news yet."

"Oh."

Her eyes dimmed as tears began to fill her vision. Alya saw this and decided to divert the conversation at that moment.

"Ya… but Chloe passed out when it happened and tripped on some valuable equipment then hit her head and broke her leg. Again. She got banned from the hospital and she was forced to stay at home for the week. Her father wouldn't take no for an answer."

They both started to half heartedly chuckle at the thought. She stopped laughing as a voice grew.

They froze.

It wasn't one of them.

And since Ladybug was here instead of Marinette…

… Sabine pushed Marinette out of the window.

"What are you doing!" Yelled Alya.

Sabine opened her mouth to explain.

But she didn't get an answer as the door flew open and a familiar pink haired girl barged into the room with Kim and Max in tow. Yelling the sentence of the year.

"Did you guys hear that Adrien was being held captive!"

That froze the three women.

"What!"

Luckily the currently hiding lady's voice wasn't heard as Max started to explain.

"Ya. The akuma, Blazer, was holding Adrien as bait. Getting revenge and hoping that finally either Gabriel Agreste or one of the superheroes would show."

While they tried to understand what he just said, Kim said his own input on the situation. Even though half of the people didn't listen.

"I'm just wondering how long it will take for it to get through Hawkmoths thick skull that no one is going to show."

Adrien's in danger.

That was the only thing that Marinette could think about.

The thought that if she saved him earlier, this could have been prevented.

The thought that if she chose to leave with Adrien right after she found him, then he wouldn't have gotten hurt.

The thought that if someone else figured out her identity, everyone that she knew could be in danger.

Her thoughts were cut off as someone spoke.

"Ya...there are rumors going around that Hawkmoth might know Ladybug's identity..."

What.

She stopped breathing at that moment. She quickly tossed all her thoughts aside and listened back into the conversation just as Alix continued.

"I meant that Hawkmoth wouldn't just let an akuma roam around the same area for three days without a plan. I know that Blazer burned random buildings, but he always went to a hospital just to look at, and today as well as yesterday he only came here. Circled around the place but never entered. I heard it gave many patients heart attacks. So I think that he probably connected the dots that Ladybug is injured and at a hospital, then narrowed it down to this one."

They were silenced for a moment until one dared to break it. The name of the breaker, was Alya.

"Wow, that was a huge theory with many holes. I mean you never know… anyways let's talk about anything else."

That's good. Alya's changing the topic, but I need to make sure to cover my tracks next time.

"What about Chat Noir? Why don't people wonder what happened to him, like he's been missing for an even longer amount of time. He didn't show up when our school burned." Asked Kim.

Sabine replied. "Assuming, that Chat Noir has a life as well…" She threw a pointed look at Kim. "...then we can guess that he got caught up with something of his own, or he got injured himself."

Thanks mom. Marinette thought.

She didn't listen to the rest of the conversation, just watched as something shifted in Alya. She looked as if she was drowning herself in other thoughts. A few minutes later Alya quickly rambled an excuse and shoved them out of the door, slamming it closed.

She turned around with a wild look in her eyes as she reached out of the window, grabbed Ladybug and pulled her up. Blurting out the question that plagued her mind minutes ago.

"Adrien is Chat Noir. Isn't he?"

She could only numbly nod.

"Well then…" She said as she slammed her hands on the window sill.

The change of tone in her voice and the sound of her hands contacting the piece of wood caused Marinette to look up.

"... you'd better go and save your Prince Charming! Save the deets for the private interview later!"

Alya then pushed Marinette out of the window and wished her luck.

A/N: Wow. Identity reveal, again, everyone is getting so smart. Can I just say that Marinette has the world's best mom and friend. Like who else would push someone out of the window of a ten story building without warning. Hope you enjoy! Action will begin next chapter. I think. Comment your thoughts. Constructive Criticism is welcome with open arms. Literally. I know this not the best thing I've written.
