A/N: So sorry, I managed to fall a day behind plus I have relatives over the next week so I might fall further behind but I will update as and when I can and I promise all prompts will have a chapter (even if its only 300 words of pure fluff) -bug-out-

When school started up again there was a lot of commotion about Adrien and his girlfriend Marinette.

Marinette who wasn't used to the attention in her civilian life seemed to handle it pretty well. Her class mates snickered as they came back together late from lunch looking rather dishevelled. There small smiles and sheepish waves and explanations did no use to deter the class from thinking they had spent the entire lunch making out. Unfortunately they had just dealt with a rather nasty Akuma across town and there transformations had let go on the way back to school so their appearance was because of that. Not that they could use that as an explanation so as less and less people believed their wild idea of an excuse they decided to just drop it and allow them to think what they would. After all an excuse is an excuse right?

Adrien saw it coming. After the Akuma attack he knew that four of them were beginning to feel stretched and then as he was getting into his car to go home he saw Nino helping an old man who had fallen over up and asking if he was alright.

Adrien smiled and caught a wink from Master Fu as he finished getting in the car. He whipped out his phone and shot a message to Marinette.

A:'guess what ive just seen?'

M: if its another meme about cats then please keep it to yourself :P

A: no its not... but should I tell you, I wonder... maybe I should keep it a secret and surprise for tonight?

M:tonight?

As Marinette responded a message came through on miraculous messenger. The group message with all of them in it.

CN: hey I'm calling a meeting tonight if your all free? I have a feeling we should be at headquarters later.

RR:sure thing

LB: yep im in

QB: only so you don't do any funny stuff again with Ladybug

RR: Don't worry queenie I think they have an outlet besides headquarters and meetings now

LB: REENA!

CN:yeah we do ;) :P

LB: Chat!

QB: …

the conversation ended when Adrien sent them the time to meet up and noticed a message from marinette.

M:Ok, im curious, so this is a miraculous surprise? Its not another big thing like headquarters is it? I don't think I can handle something like that

A:Ah well, I could tell you before the meeting but... whats it worth? :P ;)

M: I guess I can just wait for the meeting then ;P

A: T.T

M: but if you wanted to pop by before the meeting then I may have something for your troubles.

A: be there in 10

M: XD

it was 10 pm and Queen Bee was the last to arrive at headquarters.

"Come on chat what is it" Reena demanded having got no straight answers from him all evening.

Chat had preprepared. He had given it a couple of hours and called nino asking if he wanted to meet up. Nino had been really nervous (by this time he was wearing a rather familiar bracelet) Adrien hadn't said anything but managed to slip him a meeting time and place from Chat Noir and then as Nino came back from the bathroom he said Chat Noir had stopped by.

"Come on then. Follow me" Chat jumped outside followed by the three girls just as curious as one another.

With the balance finally restored Marinette was happy to be flying through Paris with her yo-yo in hand once more without the worry of an incoming attack. The rush of cold air on her face made he feel slightly dizzy and she held onto Chat to steady herself when they landed.

"LB, are you ok?" He whispered quietly to her.

"Im fine" she smiled "Just a little light headed, I guess im a little out of shape given the imbalanced thing"

She didn't see Chats concerned frown appear.

"Come on then Chat Noir where is this surprise?" Reena placed her hand on her hip looking at chat expectantly as they were perched on one of the hidden high up beams of the Eiffel tower.

"I guess that would be me"

A tan skinned man with short dark hair and wearing a suit that resembled the ninja turtles came into the moonlit view.

The girls gaped at him and Chat bowed "Here I present the newest member of our miraculous team-" He paused to allow Nino to give his super hero name

"Oh right- yeah- hey dudes, erm, well, I just found out about this today"

"its cool" Reena soothed and placed her hands on his shoulders "we've all been through that experience." She smiled and he found it comforting in some way. She also found his presence comforting. Maybe it was just having a new member of the team.

"Let start simple, whats your name?" She smiled

"Oh right, yeah I'm Nino Lahiffe"

The rest of the group pretty much stood in shock and their jaws hit the floor.

"I-" Reena gulped taking a step back from her boyfriend. "I meant your super hero name" she breathed.

Nino looked around at their faces "ooooh, oh shit, dudes! I just presumed like, you all knew each others identities and stuff. Crap. Am I bad, um forget that then-"

"FORGET IT!? WE CANT JUST ERASE THAT FROM OUR MEMORIES YOU IDIOT" Reeena seemed to gain her fire back and was backing him against a pillar.

"wait" It was Ladybug who spoke up. And the whole world seemed to stand still to wait on her next statement.

"He is right. Its time. It was time a while back really. I mean. Chat and I know who each other are. I know you Reena and Chat knows you and Queen Bee... in fact Chat knows everyone, even Nino probably before Nino knew"

Chat took the opportunity to bow with a flourish.

"You can all make the decision yourself but- Tikki-Spots off"

Pink light enveloped ladybugs form and felt her energy drain as it did so. She never usually felt like that but she guessed it must have been nerves.

Everyone stood in shock (except Chat Noir of course who just grinned like an idiot)

"bu-but-but, then, you must be" Reena pointed to Chat knowing how devoted Marinette was to Adrien and the Ladybug and Chat were an item.

Chat Smiled and winked at Marinette "Plagg claws in"

"dude!" Nino held out his green encased fist for Adrien to fist bump.

Nino released his transformation and then it just left Queen Bee and Reena Rogue.

Both looked shocked and bashful.

"Trixx" Reena called her transformation off and Nino chuckled as she sheepishly stood next to him leaving Queen Bee alone in the line up.

A small tear fell down her cheek. "Im so sorry Marinette."

Marinette looked at queen bee and put her hand on her shoulder. "Hey Bee its ok, you don't have to show us if you don't want to." She wiped a tear from her cheek and Bee held her hand there as a yellow flash of light overtook her.

"Please don't hate me"

Marinettes breath caught in shock of what she had seen. Chloe, all this time. She looked at Adrien who winced a little and shrugged.

Marinette wanted to laugh or scream but instead she chose option number 3. she hugged her and Chloe gasped.

"dont worry about it" she whispered in her ear.

"All those years- all this time -"

she took a step back holding her hands on Chloes shoulders "Forget about it- no honestly. Isnt that what being a superhero is all about?" She smiled and Chloe gave her a vice like hug which Marinette thought were usually only reserved for her Adrikins.

They all talked and laughed and Chloe indicated that she should choose the next holder as it wasn't far they all had a pair except her and surprisingly the others generally agreed.

Wyazz (Ninos kwami) had explained that Nino would not only be an addition to the team but their protector and new guardian of the miraculous and as so he would be in private training with Master Fu once the school exams were done.

It was past midnight and they were all huddled in the blankets that had remained over the years before headquarters had become a thing. Marinette was the voice of reason.

"Come on guys, we have school tomorrow and I need my beauty sleep" Marinette rolled her eyes as all of the protested her need for 'beauty sleep'

"Ok" she blushed "thank you guys but seriously, im not sure if you know thia about me but I like my sleep and I have trouble getting up in the mornings as it is"

They all smiled and they all new too well about Marinettes sleep issues.

"Its true" Tikki piped in "Although it doesn't help she usually stays up until this time designing or watch- other stuff" Tikki smiled sheepishly as Marinette shot her a harsh glare. She was about to say watching Adriens perfume ad.

They all reluctantly said goodbye and Reena said she would first show Nino headquarters and get him set up for entry. Marinette had a suspicion they would probably spend the night there.
