Hello there,
Welcome my friends to the next chapter of Miraculous: My Iron Skin
Sorry this one took a bit longer than intended. Originally I was going to have Travis family visit, but then I got nervous about the reveal and I thought it was a bit too soon, so I shuffled the order of chapter around and we are all fine now.
I haven't seen it yet, but I kinda want to adapt the 'Miraculous New York' or do something of a cross-over with another story of mine. Just something I have been thinking about.
Anyway, I hope you will enjoy this story as much as I had writing it, and now on to the reviews.
Zhany: That would be something I would have done.
Boo the ghost: Obviously it's Batman.
James the Apple: I thought it was a nice twist, though I admit, it was based on how Adrien's bodyguard calmed down when he saw Adrien in 'Gigantitan'. Hah, I can totally see why you would think that about Milo. And yeah, IronCat was my original name for the ship but I thought SpiderNoir would be a cool shoutout to one of my favorite alternative Spider-Man.
kyrogue23: Well not everyone, Lila obviously wasn't and you got that right. As for the new charachter, you'll see.
And now on to the story.
At the Agreste Mansion in the middle of the night, a frustrated Gabriel exited his secret hideout after the heroes of Paris defeated his latest akumatized victim. He walked to his desk where he saw the file Nathalie had procured of Travis laying there.
Picking it up, he flipped it open as his light blue eyes read through the paper when his eyes widen.
"It can't be..." he said, dropping the file, spreading the paper in it all over his desk from shock.
The following morning, Marinette was walking to school when she was greeted by Alya, who came running up to her.
"Girl, your looking much better today." Alya said giving her a playful shoulder bump, "Did something good happen?"
"Aside from winning the fashion contest?" Marinette said, her cheeks turning red when her mind goes back to what happened in Travis's apartment.
"You should see your face. Did something happen with Travis..." Alya said before getting a big smirk when she saw that her friend got even more red in the face, "Something did! Come on girl! Details!"
"W-W-Well I got the news that I won the contest and that I was allowed to go back to school... Emotions got a bit high..." Marinette said before softly whispering, "And then I kissed him."
"Way to go, Marinette!" Alya said, "And how did it go?"
"It went well, I think. He tasted like curry... Though that might be because we had just eaten that." Marinette said, "I mean... It was a first kiss, and he probably kissed many girls back home in the United Kingdom."
"Yeah, Travis seems like a bit of a slut." Alya said dryly, "Was it everything you imagined?"
"It was everything I imagined and more." Marinette said dreamily as they head to fourth street, "From the softness of his lips, to his tongue swirling inside... Oh no! What if I came on too strong? What if he thinks I'm a slut for suddenly jumping on him!"
"Girl, he wouldn't think so." Alya said when she spotted up ahead a crowd of people gathering around a couple of police cars.
"What happened?" Marinette said worried, being distracted from her own troubles as she and her friend stood at the barricade, where she spotted the police removing filled bodybags from a building and loading them into police trucks.
"I know someone who might know." Alya said spotting a tall teen with blonde hair talking with an officer, "Milo! Hey Milo!" waving at him.
Turning his head, it was indeed Milo. He waved back at her, saying something to the officer they couldn't hear, before the blonde walked over to them.
"Oh, hello Alya." Milo said before turning to look at the girl next to her, "And I assume you must be Marinette Dupain-Cheng." holding out his hand.
"Y-Yeah." Marinette said, shaking hands with him, "Alya told me, I have you to thank for clearing my name."
"It was no problem. Though if your feeling particular grateful, you could buy me pizza sometime... Or pancakes. I like pancakes." Milo said with a light chuckle, "So what brings you here?"
"We were going to school." Alya said before looking around, "What happened here?"
"You didn't hear this from me. But apparently this building was used by some organized crime group. We looked at some security footage, it seems each and everyone was killed by what appeared to be... A superhero in silver." Milo said, much to their shock, "Does that ring any bell?"
"No..." Alya said, exchanging glances with Marinette, who looked just as confused, "No that doesn't ring a bell."
"Figures... This is not how I intended to spend my vacation." Milo said with a light sigh before spotting a female police officer walking towards him, "I got to go, Detective Decker needs me. Be careful out there."
With a deep sigh he turned away from them before happily shouting, "Detective!" and he walked towards her.
"A silver superhero taking out criminals..." Alya said no hero coming to mind who would fit that description, "Pretty dark... It's not something our favorite trio of heroes would do?"
"You can say that again." Marinette said, thinking this should be something she needed to discuss with Master Fu after school.
"Gaming at your place this weekend?" Adrien said to Travis as the usual boys sat at the staircase at school, discussing plans for the weekend, "That'd be awesome!"
"Wait." Nathaniel said with a light chuckle, "Your dad is actually allowing you to come?"
"I guess... Maybe if I take Milo along." Adrien said, "Would that be okay?"
"Sure why not?" he said, turning to Nino, "What about you?"
"Of course I'm in dude. Alya is having a sleeping over with Marinette." Nino said, "Wait 'till you check out my advance build! When me and Nathaniel team up you, you won't stand a chance!"
"Please, we have a Travis." Adrien said turning to his friend, who seemed to be lost in thought, "T? You okay?"
"What?" he said surprised, "Sorry, I was distracted..."
"About a sleepover at Marinette?" Nathaniel said, "Your not going to sit in a tree and spy on them right?"
"No, if I did I would use my kill sat." Travis said, "I was thinking about... Well, I have this friend of mine, he has this problem..."
"Right, this friend of yours." Nathaniel said using his fingers to make air quotes, "Does he happen to be you?"
"No, I'm not..."
"Is his name Nottravis?" Adrien said, joining in on the teasing.
"No! His name is Tr... Trevor..." Travis said quickly correcting himself, "Let's just say, he recently kissed the girl he has a liking to."
"You kissed Marinette!?" Adrien, Nino and Nathaniel exclaimed in surprise.
"W-What?" Travis said confused, "How did you guys came to that conclusion?"
"Your not a very good liar, Travis." Nino said.
"I never lie! My parents taught me to always tell the truth." he said, "Then my father went and taught me to sometimes leave out details. He called it 'true from a certain point of view'."
"Enough about how your dad is an hilariously abusive jerk." Nathaniel said, "How did it go with you and Marinette? Come on details man."
"Could today be the day?" Adrien said.
"Today's the day!" Marinette said as she, Alya, Alix, Rose, Juleka where sitting in the school courtyard, "I can feel it!"
"Bet you my skates she won't do it." Alix said, referring to the plan Marinette had about telling her feelings towards Travis.
"And I'll bet my favorite unicorn plush that she will!" Rose said.
"I was thinking maybe Travis doesn't feel the same things as me, maybe it was just a fling." Marinette said, "Maybe it was just a fluke... something in the moment..."
"Don't worry." Alix said turning to Rose, "Princess Twinkle Peach will be happy with me."
"The only way you'll know is to tell him how you really feel!" Alya said to her friend.
"I know, but..." she said but she was interrupted by the smaller blonde.
"That's it, Marinette! No more picnics, sleepovers, or going to the movies with us until you tell him!" Rose suddenly shouted, surprising the other girls, "How is Travis supposed to know you're thinking of him like that if you don't even tell him! He's smart but he is still a guy!"
"She's right." Alya said, "Today is the day!"
All the girls except Marinette began to tell her to go, Marinette turn to run off to find Travis, only to bump into someone.
"Hello there." Travis said, before smiling down at Marinette, "Hey Mari..."
He glanced to his side, where his guy friends where hiding around a corner, giving him a thumbs up to go on with it.
"D-Do you have some time to talk before class?" Travis continued through the nerveus feeling, "There is something I want to talk with you about."
"Yeah, sure." Marinette said, managing to get that out without stuttering, "Lead the way."
The two walked out of the courtyard and without either of them knowing, both sides of the friend group following after them.
The two stood in front of the school, at the bottom of the stairs they stood still.
"Look about..." the two started at the same time, "Sorry, you go first."
The two shared a laugh before Marinette said, "Go ahead. Is this about yesterday?"
"Well not entirely, but it is a part of it." Travis said, rubbing the back of his head, "I have been feeling this for a while now, but it's only recently I realized what it is... I liked you as a friend for a while now. But I've realized that you're not just a friend to me. You are more than that."
"L-Like a best friend?" Marinette said, hopeful that it was going the way she was hoping.
He held her hand, both staring into the others eyes as the others were peering around the corner.
"No, more than that." Travis said, looking down into her bluebell eyes, standing close enough that he could count every light freckle decorating her delicate face.
"Since the day I met you... I'm all confused. You're all I can think about, day and night." Marinette said as she looked up into his emerald green eyes, "Does that... does this mean that you..."
"It means that I love you." Travis said, "It already slipped out, but... I'd... like to know how you feel. Will you be my girlfriend?" He was cut off by something soft on his lips, Marinette was kissing him once again, standing on her toes to reach him.
Closed his eyes slowly and Marinette put her arms around his neck. He followed her by putting his arms around her waist. The kiss was soft and sweet.
Travis pulled away after a minute and looked into her bluebell eyes softly. Marinette got a wide smile on her face.
Adrien, Nino, Nathaniel, Alya, Juleka, Alix and Rose looked at the newly couple with slow nods and smirks as if they were their wingmen.
After school, Marinette went to Fu's massage shop. Tikki and Wayzz are playing with the phonograph while Marinette told Master Fu about what Milo had told her.
"...That is very troubling news." Master Fu said, "I never thought it possible, but it seems someone has obtained the Hawk Miraculous."
"It was one of the three lost Miraculous, right?" Marinette said, "Could whomever has it be working for Hawk Moth?"
"It is possible, but then why would they be targeting criminals instead of Ladybug and Cat Noir." Master Fu said, stroking his chin, "But the reemergence of the Hawk Miraculous causes a greater concern."
"What do you mean?" Marinette said.
"Half of the Hawk Miraculous holders went mad. There is even a saying, 'when a Hawk Miraculous Holder is chosen, the gods flip a coin'." Wayzz said, "We kwami's embody 'abstract" concepts. The Hawk Miraculous embodies justice but if it isn't nurtured correctly, that justice will turn into vengeance."
"Aren't justice and vengeance the same thing?" Marinette said.
"No, they're never the same." Master Fu said, "Justice is about harmony. Revenge is about you making yourself feel better."
"One of the previous owners was the Duke of Burgundy, who used it against Joan of Arc..." Tikki said, "And we know how that ended."
"The killing of the White Witch of Rose Hall can also be attributed to a previous owner of the Hawk Miraculous." Master Fu said, "Just as the man who would become the basis for Robin Hood, all four great conquerors held it, just to name a few."
"But the fact is, if he is working for Hawk Moth, then you and Cat Noir need to be very careful. It's a good thing we have Iron Spider, he might be the edge we need."
Later that week on Thursday after school, Marinette was in her room watching the music video 'Big Bang' by the raising music artist Clara Nightingale.
Attempting to preform the same dances the brunette was preforming in the music video, with emphasize on attempting.
Marinette falls on her back while she attempted a handstand walkover. When she looked up, she found Travis standing over her, looking down at her fallen form.
"Hello there." Travis said with a smile, as his new girlfriend got back to her feet.
"T-Travis." she said surprised, "How did you get in here?"
"Through the door, like a normal person. Your mom let me in." he said, looking at her computer screen, "So your a fan of Clara Nightingale?"
"I love her!" Marinette said, "She's totally passionate about her art!"
"So your Team Nightingale." Travis said, sitting down on the seat in her room.
"What? No, I'm not into the whole Clara versus Eirwyn thing." Marinette said, "Some of their fans can get a bit too intense for my taste. Besides, I'm pretty sure they are friends in real life."
"Yeah, I think so too." Travis said with a smile, "So your going to audition?"
"Audition?" she said confused, "What for?"
Travis pulled up his phone from his pocket, chuckling at a text he had received, "Sorry, something Milo send."
"What did he send?" Marinette said, curious if he might have founded a clue that could lead to the owner of the Hawk Miraculous.
"Oh, Tuesday after school we went to eat at this Dutch food truck, 'Loomis's Dutch Oven', I know unfortunate name but best stroopwafel in all of Paris." Travis said typing something on his phone, "Also their oliebollen are quite tasty."
Marinette got a confused look at this. "The joke is that oliebollen, literally means oily balls. Believe me it taste better than it sounds."
Before he showed her the video he had meant, which depicted the signer Clara Nightengale being interviews by Alec.
"In a week your coming to Paris to film the video for your next song, which is gonna be titled 'Miraculous'." Alec said, "Which will be a duet with Eirwyn?"
"I really admire and adore Ladybug, Iron Spider and Cat Noir. An homage to them I wanted to pay." Clara sang, "I wanted to team up with Eirwyn because like them, she inspire me every single day!"
"Auditions will be held at the Grand Palais Hotel in a week, is that right?" Alec said, "A little birdie told me that you already found your Cat Noir. Care to share the good news?"
"My lips are sealed." Clara sang with a wink to the camera, "But soon he'll be revealed. We must still cast Ladybug, Iron Spider and extras, by the way. So come on out and audition okay!"
"So what do you think?" Travis said, smirking at the awed look on her face, "Think your going to audition for the role of Ladybug?"
"Of course not! I just wanna have some fun as an extra in the video, that's all." Marinette said a bit too quick, "S-So what are you doing here?"
"I just wanted to spend some time with you." Travis said, "Maybe get something to eat."
"Sure, let's go." Marinette said, holding his hand, "I would like to try these oliebollen."
Friday evening inside the living room of Travis's apartment. Adrien, Nino, Nathaniel, Kim, Max, Luka and Travis himself were hanging out together, which had turned into a sleepover.
"Thank you for allowing me to come, Travis." Luka said, "I know it was last minute when Juleka called."
"Anything for my favorite shy goth and I'm used to sisters calling in late." Travis said, looking at his screen as they were setting up their gaming stations, "...You know my sis once texted my dad in the middel of the night. She needed fifteen hundred pounds."
"What did she need that kind of money for?" Kim said, looking up from his own computer which Max as helping him set up.
"An escape room." Travis said.
"What kind of escape room cost fifteen hundred pounds!?" Max said with wide eyes.
"Jail." Travis said when he heard the doorbell, "I'll get it."
Walking up to the front door, Travis opened it to see Milo standing with a suitcase in hand.
"Travis!? It seems we both known Adrien." Milo said surprised that he and his cousin had been talking about the same Travis the entire time, as he stepped inside, "Sorry I'm late, work was murder."
"It's alright." Travis said as he led him to the living room, "I guess it must be difficult working with adults."
"You can say that again, not all of them want to listen to me because of my age..." Milo said sitting down with a heavy sigh, "Enough talk about work. Adrien said we were going to raid and my hybrid Paladin Barbarian build is ready."
"It seems you and my Artificer Wizard hybrid character will be leading the charge." Travis said with a smirk, "Try to keep up."
"Oh good." Milo said, meeting him with his own smirk, "You can take out any leftovers."
Later that evening taking a break after successful raids, Travis, Adrien, Nino, Nathaniel, Luka and Milo were standing on the balcony looking over the city before they would join Kim and Max in the privet swimming pool a floor below.
"I must admit." Milo said, leaning against the railing, "It was refreshing to play with competent people for once."
"Yeah, you and Travis were awesome." Adrien said, turning to his British friend, "So what do you think?"
"I think Luka and Milo are one of the boys, boys, boys now." Travis said with a smile.
"The who?" Luka said confused.
"It's what we sometimes call ourselves." Nathaniel said, "Or at least Travis does."
"Happy to be part of it." Milo said with a laugh just as he noticed Travis frowning when he received a message on his phone.
"Sorry guys." Travis said, his expression turning serious as he walked back inside, "I need to take this."
"What is he..." Adrien began when he saw the chaos happening down in the city, "Oh... I need to... use the bathroom." and he rushed inside.
"Well I'm off to the swimming pool." Milo said pushing himself off the railing, "I need to keep up with my exercise."
Concerned for his friend because of his sudden change in demeanor, Nathaniel walked after Travis, where he spotted him behind a bookcase which was sliding back into place.
"Travis has a panic room?" Nathaniel thought, "Well, going by what he told about his dad, it make sense." he noticed that the bookcase hadn't completely closed.
Iron Spider flies through the city where he saw that the chaos was being caused by small creatures.
"Great, now the city is being attacked by bloody gremlins." Iron Spider thought as he spotted Ladybug taking out one of the creatures who was playing with a traffic light control panel.
Ladybug removes the Sapoti's propeller hat and breaks it, but the akuma doesn't come out and instead the creature disappears.
"Evening." Iron Spider said, landing on the ground, "How did you figure to destroy the hat?"
"Lucky guess?" Ladybug said as Cat Noir landed next to them, "It seems that this Sapotis was a clone!"
"Sapo what?" Iron Spider said.
"Sapotis, they're little monsters from a creole fable." Ladybug said, "These Sapotis multiply every time they eat. To get to the akuma, we'll have to destroy the original one... the very first one Hawk Moth akumatized."
"So what you really saying is..." Cat Noir said with a cheeky grin, "We've gotta catch 'em all."
"I've done that several times already." Iron Spider said, "You could say I am something of a master."
"A master eh? Cat Noir said, "Then I would like to battle you sometime."
"Your on pussycat!" Iron spider said.
"Come on!" Ladybug said shaking her head, throwing her yo-yo, "I thought you two liked a good challenge!" and she swung away into the fight.
Taking to the sky after her, Cat Noir shook his head as he too went after Ladybug.
"So someone is happy lately." Iron Spider said as the trio worked together to destroy the Sapoti clones in order to find the original Sapotis' akuma, but without success.
"Something amazing happened at the beginning of this week." Ladybug said with a big smile as they spotted a group of Sapoti's eating some ice cream on the bridge.
"Like what? Did you lose weight." Iron Spider said, getting a glare from Ladybug, "Because it shows!"
The heroes noticed that the clones multiplied further when they consume food or certain objects.
"Hey, don't eat that ice cream or things'll get catastrophic!" Cat Noir said as the clones all charge forward.
"I'll tell you later." Ladybug said, as the trio stood back to back.
The trio worked together using her yo-yo, Iron Spider using the laster blasts from his gauntlets and Cat Noir using his staff.
"We won't be able to destroy all their hats!" Cat Noir said as they began to get surrounded, "There's too many of them!"
"Lucky Charm!" Ladybug said, using her power of creation and a teapot appears in her hand.
"Okay." Cat Noir said, striking a Sapoti with his staff.
"It's strangely familiar... Of course!" Ladybug said, throwing her yo-yo, "I know someone who can help! Gotta go! Spidy, your in charge until I get back!"
"What do you mean in charge until you get back?" Iron Spider said, backhanding a Sapoti and blasting another one, "I'm always the one in charge!"
Inside Fu's massage shop, the Master himself is drinking a cup of tea. Hearing a knock on the door, followed by Marinette entering the shop.
"Master Fu, I used my Lucky Charm." Marinette said, "But strangely, I think it was a hint which was telling me to come here in a way."
"I see. Marinette, I taught you all about the Miraculous and their powers. You know that yours works in a very mysterious way. I think it's trying to tell us that you need help this time." Master Fu said, standing on a stool to access the gramophone, but then hesitates, "I don't know if it's safe. I already took an enormous risk by putting two Miraculous into circulation."
"And you were right to do it." Marinette said, "Cat Noir and I are very careful."
Master Fu opens the gramophone to reveal the Miraculous jewelry box, and places the box between him and Marinette.
"Marinette, pick an ally you can trust to fight alongside you in this mission." Master Fu said as all of the chest drawers open to reveal the current fourteen Miraculous stored inside.
"Choose wisely. Such powers are meant to serve the greater good. They must never get into the wrong hands." the master continued, "Once the mission is over, you must retrieve the Miraculous from them and bring it back to me. Until we've found the spellbook and unlocked all the secrets, it's too dangerous to allow any more Miraculous to be out in the open for very long."
Marinette is about to grab the Bee Miraculous, but changes her mind and takes the Fox Miraculous instead. "I know just the right person!" she said.
Over at Iron Spider and Cat Noir, who were stilling fighting the increasing horde of Sapoti, which forced the two apart.
The Sapoti clones pile on top of Cat Noir, trapping him. Iron Spider was flying above the horde, seeing what was going on, he dropped down to go help him out.
One of them is about to take his ring off, but before it could happen, a web-like string stuck to a manhole cover, swinging it around as it took care of the Sapoti's as it freed Cat Noir.
Taking this moment to catch their breath, Iron Spider and Cat Noir looked over to see the one who saved Cat Noir landing in a crouched position. It was a black and silver version of Iron Spider, though much shorter then either of the two heroes.
"Hey everyone." the newcomer said, looking up at them.
"Spidy." Cat Noir said, leaning to his teammate, "Is he with you?"
"...I thought he was with you." Iron Spider said recognizing the suit immediately, "Hey, who are you?"
"I'm..." the newcomer said, "Metal Arachnid."
The trio teamed up turned around as more clones appear behind a truck, Iron Spider began blasting at them, Cat Noir uses his staff to knock some of them down, Metal Arachnid used his adhesive webbing to pull their hats off or used improved projectiles to swing it at them.
During the fight, Iron Spider created a privet comm-link with Metal Arachnid.
"Okay, fight and talk." Iron Spider said, drop kicking a Sapoti, "Who are you and how did you get that suit?"
"T. It's me!" Metal Arachnid said, evading under a jumping Sapoti, "Nathaniel!"
"Nath!?" Iron Spider said surprised, "How did you get that suit!?"
"I found the secret door in your house, no worries, I closed it completely after I entered." Metal Arachnid said, "I saw on your massive screen how many enemies were there, so I put on your extra suit and came to help."
"It's actually a prototype suit, not my extra suit." Iron Spider said, side-stepping a Sapoti and blasting it with his gauntlet, "But we'll discuss this later. Follow my lead side-kick."
"Cool." Metal Arachnid said gleefully, rejoining the fight.
Meanwhile Ladybug and Alya, who was now the fox hero named Rena Rouge, making her outfit looking similar to when Lila was akumatized. Getting close to where her teammates should be. As they went they take down Sapoti clones one by one.
"This is so insane!" Rena Rouge said, "I've got powers and I'm fighting super-villains!"
Ladybug spotted Iron Spider, Cat Noir and another hero she didn't know fighting in the street below.
Jumping down, the two female heroes joined in the fight. Protecting Iron Spider's bag, Ladybug vaulted over him as he blasted an enemy.
"Glad your back." Iron Spider said, noticing Rena Rouge, "And you brought a friend."
"So have you." Ladybug said, noticing the metallic spider hero, "Who's this superhero friend of yours?"
"Hey Ladybug." Metal Arachnid said landing on top a nearby car, waving at her, "Big fan, I'm Metal Arachnid."
"Rena Rouge!" the fox hero introduced herself, "Yeah, my name is Rena Rouge!"
"Well, sneaky fox." Cat Noir said, "Think you'll be as sneaky as a cat?"
"I don't know." Rena Rouge said, "Should we take bets?"
"I like this one." Cat Noir said with a smirk as another Sapotis was struck down by a blob of web, "Rena Rouge, Metal Arachnid, welcome to our team!"
"Happy to be here!" Metal Arachnid said excited, "...By the way, do we have a team name?"
Ladybug, Iron Spider and Cat Noir exchanged a look before each of them spoke at the same time, "Team Miraculous."
"Cool." Metal Arachnid said, "So what's the plan?"
"Fighting the Sapoti's individually is going to take too long. We are going to drive them to a choking point." Iron Spider said, "Rena Rouge, with your power of illusion you can create bait for them. Ladybug and I are going to make sure any stragglers will get there."
"Once they do, Metal Arachnid is going to use his webbing to create some sort of blanket to make their hats stick to it." he continued before turning to Cat Noir, "And once we got them all, you know what to do."
Swinging through the streets, the two heroes guide the Sapoti to the illusion of an amusement park created by Rena Rouge power.
"Follow me, and I'll take you to Sapoti-Land!" Ladybug said, "Where there's no bedtime! Where everything goes!"
Reaching their destination, Iron Spider ascended until he flew above the city, Iron Spider scanned for Sapoti so there wouldn't be any stragglers left.
"Why an amusement park thought?" Iron Spider said through his communicator.
"What kid doesn't like amusement parks?" Ladybug said, swing through the streets using her her yo-yo, leading the pact of Sapoti.
"Spidy, obviously." Cat Noir said as he stood on a roof next to Metal Arachnid at the chosen coke point.
"Who says I'm a kid?" Iron Spider said diving down to the choke point once all Sapoti's where heading there, "Maybe I'm old enough to be your father. Who knows, maybe I am your father."
"Please don't put that thought into my head." Cat Noir said horrified.
Ladybug swung through the alley, where her yo-yo wrapped itself around Iron Spider who pulled her up as Metal Arachnid spun his web. As the Sapoti run underneath it, each of their hats stuck to the sticky adhesive. Shortly the illusion disappears and all the clones are surprised to see that the amusement park is gone.
"We've got all the hats!" Rena Rouge said.
"Cataclysm!" Cat Noir said, using his power of destruction to disintegrates the carpet of web with the hats.
The Sapotis clones all disappear, leaving two remaining who turned back into Ella and Etta Cesaire, Alya's younger sisters.
Out of the dust, the akuma appears.
"No more evildoing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize!" Ladybug said, using her yo-yo to capture the akuma and purifies it, "Bye bye, little butterfly." She follows it up by throwing her yo-yo into the air and the miraculous light fixes the damage caused.
Ladybug, Iron Spider, Cat Noir, Rena Rouge and Metal Arachnide do a five-way fist bump before jumping from the roof and land in front of Ella and Etta.
"Etta!" Rena Rouge began but Ladybug stops her.
"Strange... Could Rena Rouge be..." Iron Spider thought, eyes widening while as Rena Rouge left with Ladybug before she could transform back.
"Looking forward to fighting villains with you again, Rena Rouge!" Cat Noir said, waving at her.
"Hey Cat Noir, can you make sure the two girls get back home safely?" Iron Spider said, gesturing over his shoulder, "I need to have a talking with my sidekick."
"Okay..." Cat Noir said, "But who's gonna tell me where they live?"
The twins both pounch onto Cat Noir, saying at the same time, "I will!"
"Well see you later Spidy! Iron Spider Jr!" Cat Noir said, waving at them.
From the top of the roof, where Iron Spider could be spotted flying away as Metal Arachnid swing after him using his web.
The hero in silver was standing on the edge, having been taking care of Sapoti clones himself before they were lured away by Iron Spider and Ladybug. He had been standing on the roof observing the plan and execution of it.
"Seems my skills weren't needed." he said turning around, "Things might become more dangerous... Hawk Moth might now know that there are other Miraculous in Paris and a guardian." before leaving the scene.
On top of the cathedral of Notre-Dame, with a forward flip, Metal Arachnid landed on the roof as Iron Spider landed next to him.
"That was unreal!" Metal Arachnid said, as the nano-machines that made his mask moved back, revealing Nathaniel's face.
"You've really helped us a lot." Iron Spider said, revealing his own face, "Thanks Nath."
"I have so many questions." Nathaniel said, "Are you some super advanced alien? Does Marinette know your a superhero? Where did your accent go? Is this your real voice or is it the British one? How did you get these suit? How did you get nano-technology? How long have you been Iron Spider?"
"No. No. I learned to speak without an accent. It is my British one. I made them myself, yours is a prototype. I made it myself in my parent's basement with a box of scraps." Iron Spider said, leaning against a tower, "And I have been Iron Spider for some time before I left London for Paris."
"You already were a superhero before you got here!? Your... Amazing! Spectacular! Ultimate! Superior!" Nathaniel said as a loss of words, "So... Why didn't you tell me you were Iron Spider? I would have kept it a secret, I could have covered for you."
"Because if you knew, you could become a target and I wouldn't want my friend to be put in danger." Travis said, pointing to Nathaniel's chest, "Also I'm going to need that suit back."
"What!? B-But I thought we made a great team! You know, if I held onto it, I could help you again." Nathaniel said, "I could help Ladybug, Cat Noir, and you every day!"
"I need to do check ups on it. You used an unfinished prototype which is very dangerous and I need to know if its ready for the next outing." Travis said, gesturing to him, "Also you were sloppy, you definitely need more training if you want to be a real superhero."
"W-What?" Nathaniel said surprised.
"I keep the suit at my hideout, I doubt you can explain to your mum why your owning a military grade multi-million euro suit." Travis said getting a wide eyed look from his friend, "And when I need you, I will send one of my drone with the SUP to get you."
"The what?" Nathaniel said.
"SUP. It stands for Super Uniform Pouch. I know, I know. I'm frightened by my genius sometimes as well." Travis said, pointing to the spider head on his chest, "As long as you follow a few rules, like not spreading my secret identity or your own. So what do you say?" holding out his hand.
"You got a deal, T." Nathaniel said, shaking hands with his friend, who was now his leader and mentor, "I-I mean Iron Spider."
"Please Nath." Travis said, forming his helmet, "Call me Spidy." before turning around and run towards the edge of the roof.
Nathaniel smiled as his own mask reformed, running after him as Iron Spider took to the sky and he spun a web to swing after him.
And there you go, the next chapter hope you enjoyed.
So yeah, Travinette won out in the end. Traveka (TravisxJuleka) was a very close runner up. I also had been seriously thinking of pairing Travis with Chloe.
Many thanks to everyone who read, review, favorite or follows this story, you beauties.
Next chapter is either going to adapt Frightningale or Despair Bear. If its going to be the latter, it's going to contain a lemon though not with the characters you might expect.
If you enjoyed it, don't forget to leave a review and I hope to see you all next time.
