Chapter 16

Nathaniel, Lila, Kagami, Adrien, Rose, Juleka, Marinette and Luka had got reunited together in the break around a table at the cafeteria to eat to get prepared for the next lesson.

"Yesterday I and Luka were on our way to deliver the special prepared Sablés at everyone's house and on the way I've accidentally dropped the bag with the miraculouses and the cookies on the streets and I forgot to check, if I had all miraculouses and I didn't realize the moth miraculous was gone" The Chinese descendant girl explained her friends, "Now someone has found it and is using it for the bad"

"Don't worry, we're all getting the miraculous back. We all managed to take Le Paon the miraculous away, so we will also manage to take Monarch down….that's what you heard, right sis?" Questioned Luka glancing at his younger sister, who nodded at the boy.

"Listen later Alix is going to do a presentation about my superhero identity, I will inform them all to stay positive and if an akuma approaches them to try stay happy to avoid them to get akumatzed" Informed the redhead boy. "Is this a good thing?"

"It would be good to assure them, we're always around to help them like Cat Noir and Ladybug did in the past" Responded Rose to Nathaniel. "Do it Nath"

"Does Alix know your superhero identity Nathaniel?" Asked Adrien picking up from the tableau, that stood in front of the friends another croissant to eat.

"No" Replied Nathaniel. "I don't even know if it's a good idea to tell her that. You all know, she has a crush on Super Nathan and I'm afraid when I tell her that she will hate me for good"

"If that is because you're dating Lila just tell Alix you and Miss Vixen are dating. Although everyone should know that by now" Kagami said. "Well compared to me and Adrien at least"

"But in your civilian selves fangirls often go behind you two," Lila said with a chuckle.

"They go behind Adrien, not me. They only follow me to get me out of their way to get closer to Adrien"

"What?" Asked Nathaniel surprised.

"But I never saw them going behind you?" Rose questioned looking at Kagami and Adrien.

"That's mostly after or before photo shoots" Explained Adrien. "To avoid this fangirl mayhem she's most of the times present on my shoots or at her house"

"It's really incredible, how most of the fans of him only want him because he's really famous"

"That was me a few years ago, but then I found Nathaniel" Lila mentioned leaning her head on Nathaniel's shoulder making him smile a little embarrassed.

"That's why I have been rejecting all the girls from every flirting attempts, cause I know it wouldn't ever work out," The blonde Frenchboy told the group. "I've seen in the movies how the relationships were like"

"At least you got Kagami" Luka added. "How did she manage to get together with you?"

"We had become friends at the fencing lessons and after a funny accident, we had during fencing I had found her….alluring" Answered Adrien looking at Kagami while scratching with his hand behind his neck.

"I was so mean for the coming days. I didn't want us to become a thing, but I couldn't get him out of my head and at the same time I was afraid Adrien wasn't as kind as he seemed to be"

"And the fangirls?" Questioned Luka.

"I didn't think about that before. I got surprised as fangirls approached me more often because I'm with Adrien"

"I don't know, but I'd love to see myself in the future and all my fans going behind me….but of course I will still have my eyes on you, Marinette," Luka said gazing at Marinette, that blushed at his comment.

"I really love your talking about the past and the future guys, but we came here to talk about the villain, that akumatized my sweet Juleka" Rose mentioned placing her hand on Juleka's making the girlfriend smile a little.

"Right, that's why the meeting was set up," Marinette said looking at Rose together with Luka. "Sorry for the distraction"

"Whoever it is, we need to find out, who has got the moth miraculous and stop them from more akumatizations in Paris," Adrien said. "I can't believe shortly before our adult lives start this had to come in our way again"

"Same" Agreed Luka. "I can handle once in a while skip my band practice, but now if the akumas are back it won't be that easy to sneak out, every time one breaks out"

"Same and what if this continues for more years?" Asked Kagami. "How are we supposed to keep up with our own lives and responsibilities?"

"We going to manage this too, we're six heroes after all." Assured Adrien. "And if necessary Marinette can give out one or two miraculouses to others to help us fight"

"Of course" Responded Marinette and the bell rang, advising the students to get back to the classrooms. "Oh we gotta go back"

"Well, I'm going back to the ship," Luka said getting up from the chair. "If anyone finds any clues, inform me and Marinette" Warned Luka saluting with his point and middle finger at the squad, then walked away heading to the exit of the cafeteria.

In the classroom, Alix was doing the presentation of her favorite superhero and on her powerpoint, she showed a video of Super Nathan being interviewed by Alix herself.

"If I had a presentation at the school about you, would you show up and show them some of your moves?" Questioned Alix.

"Of course" Responded Super Nathan. "If I'm not busy dealing with bad guys I would totally love to show up"

"Would you also appear in the classroom in your own way?" Asked Alix, then Super Nathan smirked holding his tablet to use the pen to draw something on the tablet, then the camera turned black and Alix moved her hands to the window, where Super Nathan stood on a flying carpet, that he had drawn with his tablet, then all students applauded afterward Miss Bustier opened for the superhero the window and he entered with the carpet into the classroom landing next to Alix.

"Good morning everyone, I'm Super Nathan, one of the superheroes here in Paris. The beautiful capital of France" Super Nathan explained using his tablet to draw something, then on the table of Miss Bustier appeared a small flag of the country they're all living in.

"Bravo," Miss Bustier said with a smile as the redhead had drawn the French national flag.

"Have you all got any special wishes I could draw for you in real life?" Asked Super Nathan and a few students raised their hands up.

"Nin….I mean boy with the red cap" Super Nathan called the Morrocan, who placed his arm down to tell the superhero what he wanted to.

"Can you draw the new Jagged Stone music cover, including its CD with the songs of it?"
"I have no idea if it's possible, but I can draw a functional stereo system," Super Nathan said drawing on his tablet a stereo system and as he was done the device appeared over Super Nathan, then he caught it and showed it to the class.

"Amazing!" All replied stunned in chorus.

"Super Nathan" Called Kim still holding his arm in the air. "Is it possible, that you could draw a living person or animal?"

"No, but I can draw a voodoo doll, that really works" Responded Super Nathan surprising the classmates.

"Okay I don't need to see that," Kim said a little frightened about the response.

"Good and the next one….what about the girlfriend of Adrien Agreste?" Suggested Super Nathan.

"Can you draw me a fan of Cat Noir?" Asked Kagami earning a nod from Super Nathan.

"Well, I try. I've never have drawn one before….nor Cat Noir did I"

"Well, then just a fan," Kagami said earning a nod from the superhero, who was doing the commission she asked for, seconds later a small fan appeared over Kagami and she used it to cool herself down.

"Wait, Super Nathan, I've got a cooler idea," Kim said jumping up from his seat.

"What is it, Kim?" Asked Super Nathan roll his eyes wondering, what the Vietnamese was going to ask him.

"Can you draw on people clothing?" Asked Kim making Super Nathan gulp at the question.

"S...sure..."
"Can you add geisha clothing to Kagami?" Asked Kim making Kagami look in shock at Kim along with Adrien.

"What?" Shouted the Japanese girl.

"I could, but I can't promise it will look good" Super Nathan said looking at Kagami, who crossed her arms looking away from the superhero.

"Come on, it's not like you're going to undress her and dress her all up, right?"

"Of course not!"

"See?"

Super Nathan sighed then tapped with his pen on the screen of his device and wide his eyes as he had a brilliant idea, then started to draw on the tablet on the body of a person, that was captured by the device and after two minutes Super Nathan was done and removed his pen off the tablet looking at the class, which had all looked at Kagami, who had closed her eyes, then all were confused to see Kagami in her uniform.

"She's still in her school uniform," Adrien said, then Kagami opened her left eye to look at herself in surprise as nothing had been done to her.

"Why did you do this to me!?" Shouted a voice and all looked at Kim, then started to laugh while Super Nathan smirked and rolled his pen with his middle and index finger at his success.

"The red lip gloss doesn't really suit you Kim" Mentioned Lila starting to laugh along with her best friend.

"But it would suit you" Super Nathan said seeing Lila look up at him, smiling at the superhero, that approached the girl.

"Oh, what are you going to do to me Super Nathan?" Asked Lila teasingly knowing Super Nathan was just playing with her.

"Nothing, but giving you this" Super Nathan said drawing on his tablet a rose, that appeared in front of Super Nathan, then the superhero gently gave it to the girl. "Here the most gorgeous girls receive from me a flower"

"That's sweet, but I have already got a loving boyfriend and my favorite flowers are tiger lilies"
"Well I'm not into drawing flowers so….you won't ever get them"
"Well don't worry, my sweet boyfriend is going to bring me them someday," Lila said making Super Nathan roll his eyes down in embarrassment turning light pink on the cheeks.

"Hey Max, isn't Super Nathan actually an adult?" Asked Kim.

"I don't know" Responded Max "Ask Alix"

"Super Nathan, are we allowed to know your age or some details of your civilian self?" Asked Ivan.

"Just some tiny, little details" Responded Super Nathan holding his index finger and thumb nearly close together to Ivan.

"How old are you?" Asked Ivan.

"I'm….uh 25" Responded Super Nathan.

"Where are you from?" Asked Lila.

"France" Responded Super Nathan. "And Liechtenstein!" Super Nathan added to avoid anything similar to his civilian self.

"Do you know Miss Vixen's secret identity?" Asked Adrien.

"Why not?"

"Is she hotter with or without the suit?" Asked Nino getting elbowed by his girlfriend. "I'm just asking"

"I don't know, both are good" Responded Super Nathan making a few girls chuckle. "Uhm you were talking about the civilian self of her, right?"

"Yeah"

"Oh good"
"Can I have my old clothes back?" Asked Kim looking at Super Nathan, who took his tablet in front of him again, opening the layer with the geisha outfit and erased the layer, so that the clothing would disappear and Kim would stay back with his previous outfit. "Thank you"

"Okay guys and girls, I've gotta finish the presentation. Maybe Super Nathan has later time to take selfies with us or to give an autograph or two" Alix said moving on her power point presentation to the end page.

"The best for me about this presentation was I could get to know my idol better and show you all, how of an awesome and kind person he is" Alix said making Super Nathan smile, then Alix moved to the last page, which was a gif of a famous rapper clapping with his hands, afterward the class applauded at the pink-haired girl.

"Well I've gotta go kids, I need to stay focused on Paris, mostly after an akuma having caught one of your friends" Super Nathan said looking at Juleka, which was being patted by the girlfriend. "Remember to always stay positive and if you're feeling down and an akuma appears, try to make yourself feel happy, fight against the akuma, try to resist it trying to control your mind. I know you can do that" Super Nathan told the class, who nodded at the superhero.

"Thank you for coming, Super Nathan and for helping Juleka out of the trouble" The teacher thanked the redhead, which nodded at the woman.

"No problem. My friends, have a nice day and see you someday" Super Nathan said leaving the classroom and closing the door behind him.

"That was a very interesting presentation, Alix, good job" Miss Bustier complimented the short girl, who walked back at her seat. "Now mes enfants, in a minute the bell is going to ring. If you want you can leave now for the break and Adrien can prepare himself for his presentation"

"Sure Miss Bustier" Adrien said getting up carrying to the front a barrel bag to the front, placing it on the desk of Miss Bustier, then took from his pocket a stick to insert it on Miss Bustier's laptop to search for his presentation.

"Hey Adrien, about who are you going to do a presentation?" Asked the Vietnamese boy passing by the blonde together with Max, while the other classmates left for the break.

"Kagami's mother" Responded Adrien. "I wanted Jagged Stone, but Marinette had already picked him"

"Cool, it's her mother, who was a fencing champion, right?"

"Yes" Replied Adrien.

"Great can't wait to hear about it" Kim said leaving the class along with Max, then Kagami approached the blonde, who felt a little tensed about his presentation.

"Are you nervous?" Questioned the blue-haired girl.

"A bit" Responded Adrien.

"Don't worry, it will go fine" Kagami comforted the boy making him smile. "I'm spreading my mother's fencing utensils on the table if you don't mind"

"Thanks," Adrien said opening the powerpoint on the laptop, then connected it on the writing app with the overhead projector to make the image appear behind him on the wall. "Kagami, are you interested to go out tonight at the cinema?"

"Again?" Asked Kagami confused.

"Well, we couldn't fully enjoy it, because we had to move out to help the staff out of the cargo ship" The blonde mentioned. "Or we go out somewhere else"

"No it's alright," Said Kagami. "Perhaps we go alone this time?"

"Sure, I'm fine with that" Adrien said making his girlfriend smile, then he helped Kagami take the rest of the objects from the barrel bag out to place it on the table of the teacher.

Inside the boys' restroom Super Nathan stood in front of the mirror gazing annoyed at his reflection.

"Karaa, stripes off. Stripes off!" Super Nathan said loud to destransform back into his civilian self, but it didn't work out. "Karaa, what's going on?" Asked Super Nathan. "Is it possible, that she can't hear me?" Super Nathan told it himself walking to the exit of the restrooms opening the door, then he shrieked as he saw Alix standing in front of him with her fist in the air, about to knock on the door.

"Alix?" Asked Super Nathan surprised. "This is the boy's restroom?"

"I know, sorry. I wanted to see if my friend Nathaniel was here. He had left to go to the toilet and hasn't come back."

"Oh is it a short redhead with a grey dress jacket, purple pants, turquoise eyes and has this…..hairstyle I don't know how to explain and….is very good looking?"

"Well he is, but you're way more gorgeous compared to my friend," Alix said blushing a little as she avoided eye contact with the superhero.

"Oh boy" Super Nathan mumbled at how much Alix was attracted to the superhero. "Alix listen, you're a great girl, but….I and Miss Vixen are dating. And I've got a double life. I can't be always present to be there for you"

"You mean, if Miss Vixen wouldn't be with you, I actually had a chance with you?"

"No, that's not what I meant"

"But, what are you referring to Super Nathan?" Asked Alix and Super Nathan placed his hands on the girl's shoulders.

"Listen Alix…...I know you're….uh….listen to my voice. Listen to me talking now. When you hear my voice, what does it make you think off?"

"The first time I saw you on TV talking" Responded Alix dreamy. "Your voice makes you even more attractive"

"Doesn't my voice not make you think of a certain friend or something?"

"Nope" Responded Alix making Super Nathan groan.

"It doesn't matter, Alix listen I need to go quick. I….need to help Viperion with…..a car accident!"

"Your excuses are so ridiculous," Alix said with a chuckle, then Super Nathan shook the girl on her shoulders.

"Why are you so oblivious?" Shouted Super Nathan annoyed, then Alix pressed her lips on Super Nathan's lips, shrieking him as his friend had kissed him on the lips. "Fuck" Mumbled Super Nathan, then suddenly behind his back his miraculous started to beep lighting up behind his shoulder his symbol and he got transformed back into Nathaniel Kurtzberg, right in front of Alix, who just opened her eyes as she had felt Super Nathan's cover disappear and shocking the pink-haired girl as she just discovered, whose identity was from her idol.

"Nathaniel?!" Asked Alix shocked. "You're Super Nathan?"

"Karaa, what happened?" Asked Nathaniel looking up at her kwami.

"I don't know, this nevew happened to me befowe" Responded Karaa shrugging her shoulders.

"Alix about this, I'm so sorry I've never told you about my secret identity, I was initially not allowed to tell this anyone, not even my best friends…..I just told this the other superheroes, because we were partners and there was really no point in hiding this from each other" Nathaniel explained watching Alix still in shock gazing at the redhead. "Please don't get mad at me or you'll get akumatized too and I can't transform as long as Karaa hasn't charged her energies"

"Her energies?" Asked Alix starting to chuckle. "Is she like some plush toy, where you can put batteries or so?" Asked the pink-haired girl, making the kwami cross her arms.

"I'm not a toy. I'm a kwami," Corrected the white kwami.

"Awesome" Alix said tickling the kwami on the sides, making it laugh. "I can't believe my best friend is a superhero"

"So….. you're not angry at me?" Questioned Nathaniel a little bewildered.

"I kind of thought before, when you were gone during my presentation, while Super Nathan was there and flirted with Lila, that it would be most likely to be you his secret identity. You have even missed several times some lessons, because of an emergency and during that space of time, Super Nathan was out there"

"So….you….kinda knew it?"

"Well I'm not surprised it was you"

"And you still had a crush on Super Nathan, even knowing it was me?"

"I couldn't know it was really you, it could have also been someone else"

"Well there you're right"

"Yeah, I check my sources about you more than Alya. But she started doing that as she realized, she was wrong at some aspects.

"Good and you know you can't tell anyone about my identity? But I know I can trust you"
"Of course Nathaniel. Who am I, Chloé?"

"No, you're my friend," Told Nathaniel.

"Yeah…..and wait….since you're dating Miss Vixen….is she Lila in someway?" Questioned the pink-haired girl earning a nod from her friend. "Makes sense"

"Thank god, imagine Lila and Miss Vixen weren't the same girls and I had a crush on them. I'd be screwed" Responded Nathaniel and the bell of the school rang, calling the students back to class. "We gotta go, now we're going to listen to Adrien's presentation"

"I bet he won't stutter that lot during the presentations as you"

"Hey!" Yelled Nathaniel. "I can't help myself. I practice it so much, but it still doesn't work"

"Yeah, you practiced. Right, I believe you"

"I swear I did. The other times I practiced too, the problem is it never comes out the way I want it to"

"I believe you," Alix said opening the door of the restrooms. "Come, Miss Bustier is sure wondering, why you took so long in the toilet"

"Yeah, most likely," Nathaniel said leaving the restroom along with his friend.
