Chapter 25) The Other's Secret
Will and the others flew back into the room and closed the window. She pulled out the Heart and changed them all back.
As soon as they changed back, Hay Lin's phone started ringing. "Oh, hey, Eric!" she said as she put the phone to her ear.
"Hay Lin, are you and the others okay?" he asked, "Nigel and I watched the fight on that Ladyblog thing."
"Yeah, we're fine, we stayed inside," Hay Lin said. "Where's Matt?"
"He just got back here a minute ago."
"Okay, good."
"Girls, you can come out now, the fights over," Sabine said, knocking on the door.
"Look, Eric, I gotta go," Hay Lin said and hung up her phone.
The five girls walked back downstairs, right behind Marinette and Elyon.
"Oh, man, you guys missed an awesome fight!" Alya said to them as soon as they got to the living room. "Really?" Marinette said with a laugh. "Yeah," her best friend answered in excitement, "Not only did those Guardian girls show up, but they brought along a new superhero. And after the fight, Ladybug and Cat Noir actually kissed!"
Marinette looked at Will and saw she was angrily squeezing her phone in her hand. Suddenly, she looked at it apologetically and put it back in her pocket.
"So, what do you girls have planned today?" Tom asked.
"Actually, we have to go say goodbye to our friends before they go home this afternoon," Taranee said. She and the other hidden Guardians started to pack the things that they brought over. "Yeah, and I gotta get home to watch my little sisters while Nora goes to a boxing match," Alya said. Just like the others, she started to pack her things.
As soon as they were all ready, Marinette and Elyon watched their friends leave and waved to them.

The girls met the guys at the front of the apartment building. They all said bye to the band members before a cab pulled up and they piled in. They waved to them as the cab pulled away, headed to the airport.
"Well, I guess I should get back to Marinette's," Caleb said, "Make sure Elyon's okay."
Once again, at the mention of Marinette's name, Will got angry and this time, stormed into the building.
"Okay, babe, I'll see you later," Cornelia said, giving him a kiss and watched him as he walked away.
"Okay, let's get back upstairs. We still got that Trig homework to finish," Irma said. "Hey, where'd Will go?" Matt asked, noticing his girlfriend's absence.

Matt and the girls walked toward the apartment and Taranee opened the door.
Will was sitting on the couch with her head laid back and her arm covering her eyes. They could all hear her growling quietly.
"Okay, what is up with you?" Irma asked. "What?" the redhead replied, uncovering her eyes. "It's like everytime someone mentions Marinette, you get a little ticked off," Cornelia said. "It's just that..." Will thought for a minute, "I just can't believe that she would do that to Adrien!"
"Do what to Adrien? What is she talking about?" Matt asked. Will sighed, "Last night, we found out that Marinette is actually Ladybug."
"So?" Matt asked. No one noticed Taranee turn on her laptop and take out her phone. "Ladybug is dating Cat Noir," Will said, "And Marinette is dating Adrien. If Marinetteis Ladybug, she's dating both Adrien and Cat Noir!"
"So you think Marinette is cheating on Adrien with Cat Noir?" Hay Lin asked. Will answered with a nod. "I don't think you need to overreact to this, Will," Taranee said, looking at both her laptop and phone.
"Why?" Will asked, eyeing her suspiciously. "When Cat Noir left earlier, I noticed that Cat Noir called Ladybug 'Princess,'" the fire guardian explained. "So?" Will asked.
"So, who else do we know that calls Marinette 'Princess?'"
"Wait, so you think that Adrien might be Cat Noir?" Irma asked. "Well, look at the two of them side-by-side," Taranee said. She turned her laptop around, showing a picture of Cat Noir, posing for a picture, and showed a picture from one of Adrien's photoshoots on her phone, "Check it out. They both have blond hair and green eyes. Plus, you never see Adrien when Cat Noir is around."
"Well, there's only one way to find out, I guess," Will said, pulling out her magic necklace.
When they changed and put on their masks, they flew out the window and followed Cornelia to the Agreste mansion, since she was the only one to go there.
"So, which one is his bedroom?" Taranee asked. Cornelia thought for a minute, trying to remember the layout from when she followed Nathalie. "Um, this one," she said, flying toward one of the windows that were far from the entrance.
They all peeked in the window and saw Adrien's large bedroom, with him sitting on his bed. "Okay, how can you prove that he's Cat Noir?" Will asked. "I'm sure he'll do something," Taranee said.
"Wait, look!" Hay Lin said. She pointed out what appeared to be a small, black cat, floating in front of Adrien, "Doesn't that kind of remind you of that little thing that Marinette used to turn into Ladybug?"
"Yeah, I guess it sort of does," Taranee said, "What's it holding?"
"Is that a piece of cheese?" Matt asked. "I wonder what they're talking about," Cornelia said.
Suddenly, the small cat's green eyes glanced over at them and his little paw pointed out to them.
They tried to avoid Adrien's sight, but it was too late.
Adrien walked to the window, opened it and poked his head out, catching the six of them floating outside.
"Hi," he said casually, "You're those new superheroes that fight with Ladybug and Cat Noir, right?"
He opened the window wider so they could come in. "You mean we fight along with you and Ladybug?" Taranee said, crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow.
"W-what?" Adrien stuttered with a nervous laugh, "You-you think that I'm Cat Noir?!"
"We saw your kwami," Cornelia stated. "You know about kwamis?" Adrien said. They all heard someone groan from inside his dresser drawer. "How do you know about kwamis?" Irma asked.
Adrien's eyes darted around the room, trying to come up with an excuse, while Hay Lin walked over to his dresser. She opened it and pulled Plagg out, who was pretending to be a stuffed toy, "Then what's this?"
"That's just a stuffed toy my girlfriend got me," Adrien lied.
Finally, Plagg gave in and flew out of Hay Lin's grasp, "It's no use, kid, they caught us."
"Told you," Taranee said. "But, how did you figure it out?" Adrien asked.
"Well, we found out about Ladybug, and I figured that Marinette's too nice a girl to have two boyfriends at the same time," Taranee explained, "So I looked at a picture of you and a picture of Cat Noir and noticed a lot of similarities between your two selves."
Adrien dropped his head, "You know not to tell anyone, right?"
"Superhero rule #1," Cornelia said with a wink, "Can we at least tell Caleb?"
"I guess that's okay, since not even from this world," Plagg said.
After a few more minutes of talking, the girls and Matt left. Adrien took out his phone and texted Marinette about what happened.
