"Everyone got the plan?" Ladybug asked.

Chat Noir and Miss Mouse nodded.

"Great, let's go."

The three split up. Ladybug jumped to one roof, Chat Noir to the roof opposite it. Miss Mouse jumped to the ground, using multiply to shrink down as she split herself apart into many small copies of herself. She positioned herself in the middle of the road, one copy ducking down and the rest standing around her in a triangle formation.

Pinman rolled around the corner. "You think I won't see you just because you're small!" He bellowed, careening down the street. Three lasers shot out of the balls holes once more, hitting the Miss mouse clones but missing the one ducked in the middle. The ball continued on it's path, purposely getting ready to hit the clone's pins.

"Now!" Ladybug yelled from above.

Chat Noir jumped down from his hiding place, Cataclysm already spiraling from his fingertips. He slammed his power down onto the road creating a giant pothole. Pinman's bowling ball hit it, momentum forcing it to fly up in the air. Ladybug jumped it from behind, kicking it hard enough that the ball's spinning slowed as it came back down.

Below, the last copy of Miss Mouse ran forward, throwing a pebble onto a polka dotted mouse trap. Just as it snapped closed she leaped on top of it, the momentum launching her into the air. As the bowling ball dropped down Miss Mouse slipped into one of the holes, Pinman too occupied with reorienting himself to shoot any lasers.

Inside the ball Miss Mouse snapped the shoelace Pinman was using to control the ball and it stopped rolling. A black butterfly fluttered out of it as the giant bowling ball disappeared with a bubbling black aura, leaving behind the bowling attendant cradling the broken shoelace in his hand.

Ladybug caught the akuma and purified it before picking up the mouse trap.

She threw it up into the air shouting "Miraculous Ladybug!"

Thousands of shining Ladybugs flew through the air, fixing everything they flew by before disappearing without a trace. Each giant bowling pin turned back into a human, the hole in the bowling alley's wall closed, the streets were no longer torn up, and the street lights lit the way once again.

The hero's parted way's, Ladybug drawing Miss Mouse into and empty allyway.

"Thank you so much for you help Miss Mouse," Ladybug said as the other hero de-transformed.

Mylene smiled, handing the necklace back to Ladybug. "No problem Ladybug," She said, "I hope I did okay, it's been awhile since you last needed me as Miss Mouse."

"You did perfect," Ladybug said, twirling her yoyo, "good luck with your AV project!"

"Thanks," the girl said, watching as Ladybug swung off.

A way's off Ladybug de-transformed into Marinette, Tikki falling into her purse to rest. Marinette slipped her magical friend a cookie before running back to the locker she kept the Miracle Box in. After she had found the box she had asked the attendant when the rent for the locker was through, finding out that Master Fu had set up an account to pay for the locker every renewal for fifty years. Since then she had been very careful to keep the location a secret, even from Chat Noir.

The locker was firmly shut and Marinette took out her key. Once she opened it all the color drained from her face. On top of the Miracle Box lay a note that had definitely not been there earlier. She quickly entered the combination that unlocked the box, throwing the necklace in it's drawer, closed it all up and slammed the locker shut – gripping the note in her hand.

She read it. She read it again. Over and over again, paper slowly crumpling in her hands.

DEAR MARINETTE, IF YOU DON'T START BEING MORE DILIGENT, I WON'T BE THE ONLY PERSON WHO KNOW'S THAT YOU'RE LADYBUG.

The note was unsigned, the handwriting full of flourishes hiding the writers unique habits. After she had memorized the contents Marinette's nerves started to calm.

"Okay Marinette," she said to herself, "what do you need to do?"

"Marinette," Tikki said, peeking out from her purse, "this is really bad. You might have to stop being Ladybug!"

"It's okay Tikki," Marinette said, controlling her breathing, "we'll figure this out. But first need to destroy this paper so no one else can read it."

She tore the paper to bits. Every time she passed a trash can she threw a few pieces of the paper away, the last bit thrown away just before the bowling alley.

In front of the building Adrien, Luka, Alya and Nino stood, waiting for her.

As soon as he saw her Luka rushed up, pulling her into a hug. "Are you okay?" he asked.

"I'm fine," Marinette said, "thanks for worrying Luka."

Adrien's phone buzzed. He sighed, running a hand through his hair. "Chloe went home." He said.

"That's weird," Luka said, "I ran into her earlier while hiding, she said she had to go get something. Considering the situation it must've been urgent."

"I wonder what she had to get?" Nino said.

"Knowing her she probably forgot her tiara or something." Alya said, "Anyway, it's a shame but I don't think any of us have time to continue the game. Should we call it a night?"

"Yah," Adrien agreed, "I'm sure my dad sent a car out for me as soon as Ladybug stopped the attack." Sure enough, as he spoke the black armored car rolled up. "See," he said, "see ya."

From there the group split up. Nino and Alya walked back to their dorms and Luka walked Marinette back to the bakery. No one talked much, too worn from the day's events to care for conversation. That was just fine for Marinette as she took the time to think thorough who might know her secret identity.

Luka kissed Marinette goodnight and started his own walk home. He hadn't said it out loud, but his thoughts were still stuck back on Chloe. It was true he didn't really know her, but she had also said that no one in the city did either. But she knew a lot of the people in the city, right? He thought back to Alya's tiara quip. It was true they had known each other when they were younger, but was it fair for Alya to continue talking as if she were sure that Chloe hadn't changed? Then there was Chloe herself. Something about her had just seemed, off. Like there was a missing link between how she had acted while bowling and how she had acted later when he pulled her into the alley.

He shook himself, clearing his head. He was probably reading too deeply into it all. The rest of the way home he spent humming, creating a new tune in his head.

Marinette spent the whole night tossing and turning, trying to figure out who had found out about her identity. She finally got up at dawn, bleary eyed and unprepared for her first day of college.
