Hello there,
Welcome my friends to the next chapter of Miraculous: My Iron Skin.
I hope you will enjoy this story as much as I had writing it, and now on to the reviews.
deku rose: I thought Marinette and Travis would have been too obvious. Yeah, Chloe in this story is actually making an effort to be a better person.
CreedTheCheshire: Really? Maybe we haven't treat the same OCxMarinette stories. Of course, Adrien has the boys, and maybe Eirwyn.
Boo the ghost: There were a few hints, but yeah, I thought it would be a good surprise to have Milo and Chloe pair up. I think its a mixture of both. The attraction was there, but Milo just needed some alcohol to cut lose.
James the Apple: Happy you think so. Yes, neither Frightningale nor Despair Bear happened, just a bit of a breather chapter. Yeah, I kinda forgot to mention that the character are a bit older than in canon, (Also the legal drinking age in France is 18). I don't know dude, I think Drunk Milo gives Russian Milo some competition. I actually think its more Iron Man versus Hawkeye.
kyrogue23: Can't blame him either for that. There were a few hints, but yeah it did come a bit out of left field. And I thought it was funny having Milo being a lightweight. As for what Iron Spider Vs Hawk wielder is going to be, you can find out now.
Story time!
"Your a hard man to track down, Mr. Hawk Miraculous." Iron Spider said staring down his target, "I didn't had your number, so I had to figure your pattern out."
"The amazing Iron Spider has been looking for me?" the silver hero said forcing himself not to blink, a sign to not show weakness, "I am flattered."
"So what is your name?" the red armored hero said, "It will make the conversation easier than constantly calling you silver hero?"
"You may call me... Argent Hawk." he said, using the French word for silver, "It seems fitting for now. But I guess you want more than just talk."
"That's all up to you. I have done my research on your Miraculous, according to the Grimoire, half of the Hawk Miraculous holders went mad." Iron Spider said, not taking his eyes off him, "And your slipping into madness. Losing yourself to vengeance."
"I call it justice, I have been cleaning out the filth." Argent Hawk said, telling him his point of view, "More than you and your Team ever did!"
"...What happened to you?" Iron Spider said concerned, "Let me help."
"I don't..." Argent Hawk said, a bit taken aback by his concern, "J-just stay out of my way! If you or your super friends get in my way, I will take you down as well."
"If you won't see reason, I'm going to have to take that Miraculous." Iron Spider said, pointing at the ring around Argent Hawk's finger, "I can't have it fall into Hawk Moth's hands and have it turned against us."
"If you want it, then you'll have to take it." Argent Hawk scoffed, standing ready for a fight, "But you already knew that."
"I had a feeling you'd say that." Iron Spider said, charging forward throwing a punch, but Argent Hawk leans back to dodge it.
Iron Spider uses his sideways moment to spin around in a full moon kick, though Argent Hawk evades the attack by moving to his left.
Argent Hawk shoots four arrows to Iron Spider's side and arm, sending him to the ground but he was blindsided by a blast of his gauntlet, sending him against the wall, knocking his bow out of his hand.
Standing back to his feet, Iron Spider aims high kick at his head, but Argent Hawk caught it and used the movement of the attack to counter him, spinnig around and slamming into the ground.
Argent Hawk attempted to disable the leg, but was forced to let him go by another energy blast. He recovered, ducking under the next strike from Iron Spider, which went straight through the pillar he had slammed into.
The hero in silver attacks with a hit aimed to his face, but Iron Spider ducks under the punch, countering by uppercutting him. He attempted to restrain him, but Argent Hawk knees him in the face, making him recoil.
Argent Hawk gripped his arm, attempting to judo throw him into the ground, but Iron Spider flips over him, breaking free out of the hold. Iron Spider delivered several quick punches, he finish it with a blast of energy straight into his face, sending him through a window and out of the building.
Rushing over to the broken window, Iron Spider looked out of it to find no trace of Argent Hawk.
As the sun began to rise over the city of Paris, where on the balcony of Chloe's room at the Le Grand Paris, Argent Hawk dropped down. Quietly sliding the door open, he limped into the room where a naked Chloe was still sleeping under her cover.
Limping towards the bathroom, entering it as quietly as possible to not wake Chloe up.
"Kwehh... Wings In." Argent Hawk said, leaning over the sink as he transformed back to Milo in his usual outfit, a small silver light shot from his ring.
The kwami was silver skin, the color getting darker the further down their body, with purple eyes and yellow sclerae. He has white, swept weathers on top of his head, a yellow beak, and a hawk-like wins on his back.
"Milo!" Kwehh said concerned, floating next to him as the Teenage Ace Detective checked his face in the mirror, "Are you alright?"
One of his eyes was blackened, dried blood was on his nose as well as a swollen cheek.
"You should see the other guy." Milo said trying to joke it off, as he began to clean his face up, "Hey Kwehh, I thought I was nearly impervious to damage when transformed."
"You should have been! You have been tanking bullets and breaking knives with your hands." Kwehh said, being just as confused, "Maybe this Iron Spider found a way to hurt Miraculous Holders."
"And he claims I'm a danger. He strikes me like a guy that has plans to take down his own teammates." Milo said bitterly, letting out a painful his when he touched his side, "I think I have broken a rib or two... How am I going to explain that?"
"What about your face?" Kwehh said, gesturing to it, "That's your money maker. Sure, solving crimes is cool, but you get paid much more for an interview!"
"It's not about the money." Milo said as he pulled a back of potato chips from his pocket, "I know your just afraid I won't be able to buy your favorite crisps anymore." opening it and laying it on the counter.
"How else am I suppose to keep my focus?" Kwehh said, flying into the bag of chips and began to eat as his partner began to undress.
"Eat up, I'm back to bed." Milo said, having picked up his clothes, "I have a blonde to cuddle up with."
"Yeah, yeah..." Kwehh said from inside the bag, "I didn't need to hear you groan like a caveman."
"Well I needed to sell the part of drunken sex, didn't I!?" Milo said before exiting the bathroom.
Throwing his clothes around the room, his shoes finding themselves near the door, pants at the feet of the bed, shirt somewhere further up on the couch, his boxers on the nightstand.
He quietly got under the cover, cuddling up to Chloe where she was the little spoon and he the big spoon.
Doing the dark deeds he often preform in the evening, which if they were known would paint him as a bit of a hypocrite. Despise solving crimes during the day, he still felt himself restless. But for some reason, the bratty childhood friend of his cousin was the third, for the first time in a long time, someone other than Adrien gave him some form of inner peace.
During the morning in another luxury suite in the Le Grand Paris, where Adrien awoke, laying in a bed on his side. His vision was a blur, and so were his memories but she could clearly see the black bra that was draped over a lamp on the nightstand beside him.
"Oh shit..." Adrien said, remembering what had happened after Eirwyn's performance.
He had gotten a few drinks himself, until in a haze of drunken confidence he had kissed Eirwyn on the mouth, something which she had returned. The last thing he remembered was them going up to her suite.
Adrien rolled onto his back, he peeked under the covers. No underwear, no clothes, no nothing. He sat upright clutching the sheet to his chest.
"Oh god..." he said confused, "What have I done!?"
"Good morning!" Eirwyn said, sitting in a nearby chair in her silk bathrobe with a mug in her hand, surprising Adrien, "So triple espresso or hair of the dog?"
"No." Adrien said clutching his head.
"Right both then." Eirwyn said, taking out a flask and poured its contents into a coffee mug before handing to it Adrien. He however had other plans and rolled off the bed clutching the sheet around his lower body.
"Please..." Adrien said walking towards his clothes which were on the floor, "Tell me that we didn't."
"Did we ever! It was amazing! The heat! The gymnastics!" Eirwyn said dramatically as she stood up, "I mean you had moves that makes even me blush, and as a side note you have some nice abs too Adrien."
"This is bad." Adrien said, already had most of his clothes on, "Whatever happened last night, don't tell me I'd rather not know..."
"What that we didn't do the nasty?" Eirwyn said with a grin.
At this Adrien froze in place, "We didn't?" he said.
"Nope. I turned you down cold." Eirwyn said, "I know. I'm surprised by this myself." she was enjoying the alcohol infused caffeine beverage.
"Then..." Adrien said, "...Why am I naked?"
"You mean you don't remember the part where you passed out, woke up again, took off your clothes screaming: 'It's too hot in this five star hellhole!' Then passing out again on the bed?"
"Not particularly no." Adrien said.
Travis, dressed in his underwear, opened the door of the apartment when he heard the doorbell, where a slight panicked Adrien stood.
"T, thank god..." Adrien began, before getting immediately concerned, "What happened to your face?"
Travis had a black eye and a busted lip, something Argent Hawk had managed to inflict on him during the fight.
"Oh, it's nothing." he said, letting his friend into the room, "Just got in a little scuffle on the way back home last night."
"You got in a fight?" Adrien said, "Where you robbed? Are you alright?"
"It was just an argument that got out of hand. If you think this is bad, you should see the other guy." Travis said, trying to assure him, "I'm in a bit of a hurry. I'm going to grab some breakfast with Mari."
"It's half past eleven in the morning." Adrien said as he followed Travis up to his room.
"Well brunch then." Travis said before going into his walk-in closet, "So what's up."
"I'm going to be honest, and please don't get mad." Adrien said as his friend gave a nod, "Okay... I kissed with Eirwyn."
"That's it?" Travis said confused, "Because we saw it during the party, we even took some pictures. Don't worry, Alya and I aren't going to spread them around. We are only going to print them on shirts."
"W-what?" Adrien said.
"Kidding... or am I?" he said teasing his friend, "So how was it?"
"Again, what?" the blonde repeated.
"Well at the end of the party, she took you up to her suite." Travis said, "And knowing the person Eirwyn is, I assumed you two had the sex."
"No... She rejected it." Adrien said, much to his friends confusion, "You're taking me almost having sex with your ex... extraordinarily well."
"Why wouldn't I?" Travis said, walking out of the closet wearing his usual outfit, "You actually like her?"
"I... well, maybe." Adrien said, with a sigh as he sat down on the couch in the room.
"Is this about why you have been down lately?" Travis said, taking a seat next to him on the couch, "Yes, you told us your fine, but the boys, boys, boys noticed."
"Yeah it's... There is this girl." Adrien said, looking down into his folded hands, "We see each other all the time because we study together. We've just been friends, you know. Until recently. She has been starting to date someone else..."
"That's rough, buddy." Travis said, "Who is she? Do I know her?"
"She's special. Very pretty." Adrien said with a slight smile, "She's got dark silky hair, deep and mysterious eyes... Why are you looking at me like that."
"...Adrien." Travis said with afraid wide eyes,, "Is it Marinette?"
"W-What!? No!" Adrien said shocked, "Why does everybody keep thinking that!?"
"Oh good." Travis said relieved, "Because I really like Mari, and I wouldn't want to have to choose between her and my bro."
"I wouldn't want to put you in that situation." Adrien said.
"So..." Travis said, giving his friend a side glance, "Your going to try it with Eirwyn?"
"If it wouldn't make things difficult between us..." Adrien said.
"If you like her, go for it. She is my ex but me and Eirwyn are still friends. Nothing will change between us." Travis said with a smile, holding up his fist, "Bro's before hoes."
"Yeah." Adrien said, returning the smile and returned the fist bump, "Bro's before hoes."
Tuesday evening, Travis was walking down the streets of Paris, where around a corner he spotted Milo waiting for him.
"There you are." Milo said waving at him.
"What happened to you?" Travis said with concern as he spotted the black eye on Milo.
"I could say the same to you. When Adrien saw mine, he thought that we might have fought." Milo said with a laugh, "On the night of the party, I tripped in Chloe's bathroom."
"Ah, I see. I got in a bit of a scuffle." Travis said as they began to walk, "Mari has been fussing over me the entire time."
"Adrien and Chloe have been the same." Milo said as he led the way, "Honestly, they can be more concerned than Detective Decker sometimes."
"So where are we going?" Travis said.
"Were going to a special place place for me." Milo said just before they arrived at their destination, "I'm hoping you'll like it too..."
It was some sort of fancy looking club, in one of the taller, expensive buildings in the city.
"What is this place?" Travis said following Milo into the club.
"It's just a club called 'Morning Star'." Milo said with a sheepish smile, "You get to hear some great performers here."
"Now this is my kind of club." Travis said with a smile, as if trying to reassure him as they went into the club.
"Oh, I'm glad you're so taken with it." Milo said as if he was relieved as they walked down the stairs, "Is it safe to assume you've visited places like this before?"
The two of them sat down at one of the many round wooden tables in the dimly lit club, near the stage where a microphone on a stand, along with a big speaker and a black piano. A smooth and exciting atmosphere drifted in the air.
"Well, why don't we get some drinks." Milo said, crossing one leg over the other, "Any preference?"
"I'll have what your having." Travis said, "Just make sure you don't drink too much."
"...I'm never going to live that down, am I?" he said, though with a slight hint of humor to it, "Anyway, there aren't any soft drinks you actively dislike, right?"
"Hello Detective."
Travis and Milo looked over there shoulder to see a tall man swept back hair platinum blonde hair and amber eyes. His outfit consisted of a open white blazer over a tucked in dark purple dress shirt, black dress pants and brown-black dress shoes.
"Mr. Lux!" Milo said, standing and shaking hands with the man, "I didn't knew you were in Paris."
"Well, I was just passing through to my apartment." Mr. Lux said, before turning to Travis, "And who are you?"
"Call me Travis." he said, shaking hands with the man, "I'm a friend of Milo."
"Nice to meet you, Travis." the man said with a smile, "Lucifer Lux, proprietor of this fine establishment."
"Lucifer Lux?" Travis said surprised at the man's first name, "As in the..."
"Exactly." the man said.
"Is that a stage name?" Travis said, still a bit unsure.
"God given, I'm afraid." he said with a light chuckle, "I got to go. We have a special performance today, so I hope you enjoy it." he turned to walk away but turned on the spot.
"You know what, drinks are on me this evening. Who says the devil can't be generous?" Mr. Lux said walking backwards, "Just don't go overboard with the alcohol, or else Potato will have to throw you out." before turning around to head towards the one of the stairs leading to a higher floor where the elevator was located.
"Well that was interesting." Travis said, watching the man disappear up the stairs, "You know him well?"
"Not really. Me and Mr. Lux have chatted a few times when I'm here." Milo said, "He's a bit eccentric, but I don't believe he's actually the devil."
"Right." Travis said as a waitress arrived with their drinks, "Who is Potato?"
"Honestly, I have no idea." Milo said, noticing a woman had entered the stage, "Looks like it's starting. Let's sit back and enjoy the show."
The two ordered their drinks as they listened to the music that was being sang by the woman.
"I'm glad you took me to this place." Travis said, leaning back into her chair, "This is very relaxing."
"I'm glad to hear you say that." Milo said, "I really do like coming here... Work and obligations take me to quite a few restaurants and cafes, but 'Morning Star' is a little more special to me. I guess you could call it my go to place. Do you have anything like that?"
"Actually yes." Travis said thinking of his secret hideout where he built his suits and where he was training Nathaniel using his Metal Arachnid suit.
"Really? You should show it to me sometime." Milo said, "You know, you're the first person I've ever brought here... Not like I was keeping it from anyone but I suppose it goes to show we do have some strange connection. I wanted to invite Adrien, but my uncle didn't allow him to go out on a school night... "
"There is always next time." Travis said.
The following Friday afternoon at College Françoise Dupont High, the students are leaving to go home from school. Travis and Marinette were walking hand in hand as Mr. Damocles urges everybody to leave them to quickly leave.
"So, what do you want to do?" Travis said.
"Netflix and chill at your place?" Marinette said.
"If that's what you want." Travis said as they walked towards his scooter, "Than that is what you'll get."
The couple walked out of the elevator towards his apartment. Unlocking the door, Travis immediately heard that the television was on the news channel.
"That can't be good." Travis said, stepping inside to see two familiar faces sitting on the couch.
"What's up dork." the girl, who was a little older than them. She had long brown hair and blue eyes.
"Ava!?" Travis said surprised as the other woman stood up.
When she saw who it was Marinette's mouth dropped from sheer surprise and shock.
The woman had long purple hair, her blue eyes were accented by her pale skin. She dressed herself in a white top revealing her back, black pencil skirt and black leggings covering her slim long legs. A pair of white heels increased her considerable height, at least she was normally taller than most women her age.
"Mrs. Shine!?" Marinette said with wide eyes.
"Mum!" Travis shouted surprised.
"Mom!?" Marinette exclaimed surprised.
"My Travis!" Mrs. Shine said happily, spreading her arms to engage in a hug, "How are you baby?"
"I'm not a baby..." Travis muttered as she pulled him into a hug.
"Your just like your father." Mrs. Shine said, "But you will always be my little baby."
"I wasn't born yesterday." Travis said, while his mother rubbed a hand through his hair.
"She is your mother?" Marinette said, still not over the shock.
"Yeah, she is my mum." Travis said, "And that thing on the sofa is the devil, also known as my sister, Ava."
"What did you call me?" Ava said, standing up from the sofa.
"Boy!" a gruff voice shouted from the second floor.
They turned into the direction of the stairs where they saw a man descending them.
If Marinette had to describe him, the man looked like an older, shorter Travis, same brown hair and emerald green eyes, a short three o'clock stubble on his face. Dressing himself in a black blazer with a tucked in green dress shirt and black formal pants on his lower body.
"What have I told you about comparing your sister to the devil?" the man said, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"...That it is insulting to the devil?" Travis said dryly.
The corners of the man's mouth stern face curled up slightly, as if indicating he thought it was actually pretty funny.
"What are you doing here?" Travis said, looking around his family.
"As you know Grand Fashion Rejouissance is in a few weeks, and I need to put some finishing touches on it." Mrs. Shine said, "So we are having dinner tonight with my business partner."
"I'm on vacation and this is what I'm doing." his dad said, sounding more annoyed than anything, "How far have I fallen..."
"Oh, who is this?" Mrs. Shine said, before she covered her hands over her mouth, "Is she your girlfriend, Travis?"
Travis felt his cheeks burning red with embarrassment, "Y-Yes." he said, "Mum, dad, this is Marinette Dupain-Cheng. M-My... My girlfriend."
"Marinette Dupain-Cheng... Why does that sound familiar..." Mrs. Shine said, tapping her chin before snapping her finger, "Are you the same Marinette Dupain-Cheng who won the 'upcoming talent' contest of the Grand Fashion Rejouissance?"
"Y-Yes, I am madame." Marinette said nervously, doing a bow.
"Oh please, none of that madame rubbish." Mrs. Shine said, taking a hold of Marinette's hand and shook it, "Just call me Rarity. I know, it's a bit of a silly name."
A little while later, while Mrs. Shine and Ava where getting ready for the evening, as Travis and Marinette where sitting in his room, cuddling up on the couch across the tv.
"I'm sorry." Travis said as the television was on, "I had no idea the family was visiting this weekend."
"Hey, it's okay. I needed to meet the family one day or another." Marinette said, "So, Mrs. Shine is really your mother?"
"Yeah, I know." he said with a slight grin, "Difficult to believe since I'm pretty much a copy of my dad, if he had a normal height."
"Travis, be honest with me." Marinette said, "Did you have anything to do with me winning the contest for the Grand Fashion Rejouissance?"
"I had nothing to do with that, the reason you won was all your own skill and design." Travis said, glancing at his side but from her expression, he knew that she still had doubts, "Mari, look at me."
And she did, looking into the eyes of the others, "I have never lied to you." he said, "And I never will."
"I-I believe you." Marinette said, pressing her forehead against his, "I would never lie to you either."
"I believe you as well." he said, as they placed their lips against each other.
During the make out session, Marinette pulled him back not breaking the kiss as she pulled him on top of her. Taking a break to breath, Marinette said, "Does that mean your name is Travis Shine?"
"Actually Mrs. Shine is some sort of stage name, based on her maiden name." Travis said moving a lose strain of hair behind her ear, "My name is actually Travis McGrath."
"I didn't know that." Marinette said, "I think this is the first time we heard your last name... Travis McGrath... Marinette McGrath... I like the sound of that."
"Jumping the gun a bit, aren't you." he said with a smile, "But I admit, I like it too."
A knock was heard on the door, before Travis's father spoke, "Boy! I'm both respecting your privacy by knocking but asserting my authority as your father by coming in anyway."
Travis and Marinette could just get off each other before Travis's dad opened the door and stepped into the room.
"Look, Travis. I'm sorry your mother derailed your plans." Mr. McGrath said, either oblivious or not caring the situation he had walken into, "I told her, she should call ahead but she wanted it to be a surprise."
"Look dad, it's okay." Travis said, but his father took out his phone.
"What was that rockstar you like? Jagged Stone?" Mr. McGrath said, typing something on his phone, "I just brought you and your girlfriend first row seats for his next concert."
"...Dad." Travis began but all his father did was let out a deep sigh.
"Fine. I'll throw in meet and greet passes." his dad said, typing something on his phone before he noticed how his son was looking, "What's with that look? Do I need to hire Alexandra Daddario to sit next to you, feed you grapes and jacking you off? What more do you fucking want!?"
"N-nothing dad." he said.
"Right, I have a few more questions and I want you to be honest with me." Mr. McGrath said, sternly looking at the two, "How many parties have you had in this house?"
At this point, Marinette came to his defense, claiming that there hadn't been any parties in the apartment, and she would know because of course he would invite his girlfriend.
"...Really? There have been zero parties here?" Mr. McGrath said as his son nodded, "...I have never been so disappointed in you."
"What." Marinette said flatly.
"Come on! I set you up with a kick ass high rise apartment, privet swimming pool, home movie theater and your closes neighbors are five floors down. Despise all of that, you don't give a party!? " Mr. McGrath said, before he exited the room, "Are you even teenager!? Your suppose to party or you'll die! Kids these days!"
"Well..." Marinette said, "Your dad is... unique."
Inside the Agreste mansion foyer, where Adrien, Gabriel and Milo where waiting for the guests of the evening.
"You didn't have to be here." Adrien said to his cousin, "Father only needed me to be here."
"I know." Milo said, "But I can't just abandon my cousin, now can I?"
"Thanks cousin." Adrien said just as Nathalie opens the front door, as his father's business partner and her family entered the home.
"Hello there." Mrs. Shine said, "It's been some time, Gabriel."
"It has been Mrs. Shine." Gabriel said, shaking hands with her before to his discomfort, pulled him into a hug.
"Now how long have we known each other? No need to be so formal!" Mrs. Shine said, letting go off the much taller man before turning to Adrien and Milo, "Are these your children? I thought you only had one son."
"I have." Gabriel said, gesturing to the two blondes, "This is my son, Adrien and my nephew, Milo."
"My, my! I remember the baby photo's Gabriel would show to me." Mrs. Shine said turning to Adrien, "Look at how much you've grown."
"It's nice to meet you." Adrien said, shaking hands with her, "I'm sorry but I have no memory of you..."
"That's alright. I know your parents mostly from work." Mrs. Shine said before gesturing to her family, "Oh, you might know my son."
"Yeah, I know him." Travis said, walking towards Adrien.
"Travis?" Adrien said surprised.
"Well, I guess the evening isn't totally lost." Milo said slightly surprised.
"David." Gabriel said coldly, shaking hands with Mr. McGrath.
"Gabby." he said with a smirk, staring up to the much taller man, knowing how annoyed he is by being called that.
It was almost comical, the height difference between the two men. With Gabriel Agreste towering over Mr. McGrath, who was shorter than even Travis.
"So Adrien." Ava said as they were lead to the dinning hall, "Your Travis friend?"
"Yeah." Adrien said, "You must be his sister."
"I know, it's weird someone like me being related to someone like him." Ava said turning completely serious, "So he was with this girl at the apartment, is that really his girlfriend?"
"Ava!" Travis said annoyed.
"You mean Marinette?" Adrien said, "Yeah, she and Travis are in a relationship."
"Really?" Ava said sounding completely surprised before turning to her younger brother, "How? She's too good looking for you."
"I take my previous statement back." Milo said, amused at dynamic between Travis and Ava, "I guess this evening is going to be entertaining."
During dinner, there was a certain decree of tension at the dinner table. Mrs. Shine led most of the conversation as discussing the Grand Fashion Rejouissance.
Gabriel mostly conversed with her, every so often giving Travis a meaningful glance. Mr. McGrath seemed bored and disinterested most of the time, while Travis, Adrien, Milo and Ava were talking among themselves.
"So Milo." Travis said, "You and Chloe."
"Yes, after the party, we decided to go out." Milo said, "We're trying to keep it quiet, because of my reputation as the Teenage Ace Detective and her trying to better her reputation."
"I think you two are cute together." Adrien said, happy for his childhood friend and cousin.
"So Adrien, your going to model at the Grand Fashion Rejouissance?" Ava said, taking a sip from her drink.
"Yeah it's going to be my first time." Adrien said happily.
"Oh, that's cute." Ava said, "We will be working together then."
"You do model work as well?" Adrien said.
"I have been modeling for my mum since before I could walk." Ava said as she and Adrien began to talk.
"So how is everything going at work?" Travis said to Milo.
"Things have been busy." Milo said, "Especially after that whole incident were the hero in silver fought against Iron Spider."
"The what now?" Mr. McGrath said suddenly.
"Iron Spider, he's one of the superheroes here in Paris." Gabriel said, staring at the much shorter man, "Haven't you heard?"
"No. Someone failed to tell me that." Mr. McGrath said slightly surprised, staring in the direction of Travis, Adrien, Milo and Ava, "Are there more of these Superheroes?"
"Team Miraculous consist of the main trio consist of Iron Spider, Ladybug and Cat Noir." Adrien said, "They have two auxiliary members in Rena Rouge and Metal Arachnid."
"They fight against a villain named Hawk Moth, who has the power to turn people into super villains with his akuma's." Milo said, "Though it seems the hero in silver isn't in league with either Team Miraculous nor with Hawk Moth."
"Hawk Moth?" Ava said, "What kind of name is that."
"A bloody stupid one." Mr. McGrath scoffed just as he spotted his son receiving a message on his phone.
"Sorry, I need to respond to this." Travis said standing up from the table when suddenly his phone seemed to be hijacked of sorts as an Akumatized victim.
"Citizens of Paris, listen to me very carefully! For it is time of Dark Owl." the Akumatized victim said, before the screen showed a city bus dangling off the Eiffel Tower. "With just one slight movement, I can release a rope holding onto a city bus and all the people inside will crash down upon this poor helpless little kitten!"
"Well." Mr. McGrath said, looking at the broadcast on his own phone, "I think we've got a serious problem."
"And if anyone should be tempted to come and save the people, beware! It is all rigged! Liquid nitrogen will automatically douse the feet of the Eiffel Tower, freezing them to minutes seven hundred degree, and making them more fragile than glass! They will collapse! And the bus will flatten our cute kitten friend!"
The villain explains before the broadcast turned back to him, "Ladybug, Iron Spider, Cat Noir the only way you can save these people is to come and hand your Miraculouses over to me! And you only have 10 minutes! Follow the Owl-Signal!"
Dark Owl disappears from the screen as the transmission ends. Travis was already on his feet, excusing himself by saying he needed to use the bathroom.
"Boy that escalated quickly." Mr. McGrath said casually, still with his phone in his hand, "I mean, that really got out of hand fast."
An owl like symbol was shinning onto the night sky of Paris. Iron Spider touches down on a roof and soon Ladybug and Cat Noir both arrive on the roof.
"That principal sure is holding a grudge." Ladybug said, getting surprised looks from her two teammates, "I saw it on TV, it's Mr. Damocles, the principal of Françoise Dupont High. He was trying to be a superhero and he did something embarrassing which got him on that most funny video's on the internet show."
"The one hosted by Alec Cataldi?" Iron Spider said, "I hate that show."
"We got to get a hold on his detonator and stop the countdown!" Ladybug said.
"I can distract him with a little chit-chat." Cat Noir said.
"You're certainly the cat for the job."
Out of the shadows from one of the chimney, stepped Argent Hawk his bow hanging from his back.
"It's you." Cat Noir said, "The hero in silver."
"Argent Hawk." Iron Spider said.
"You know him?" Ladybug said concerned.
"We ran into each other." he said before turning back to the silver hero, "Why are you here? Do you want to go another round?"
"As much as I enjoy giving you another beating." Argent Hawk said, "We have pressing matters to attend to. While are are talking, innocent people are in danger."
"You know, he does talk sense." Cat Noir said.
"Hold on." Iron Spider said, turning to Argent Hawk, "What do you mean giving me another beating? One of us ran away when he was thrown out of the window, and that someone wasn't me."
"You really want to fight?" Argent Hawk said, "Then let's fight."
But before it could come to blows, Ladybug stepped between them. "Easy there." she said, looking between the two, "Remember we have work to do."
"Right... Your right LB." Iron Spider said, "Argent Hawk can you try and save the civilians? Someone will meet you there"
"Of course I can." Argent Hawk said, striding in the direction of the Eiffel tower, "Not that I need any help. You three take down Dark Owl. Keep in touch." before shooting an arrow from his bow and using it to swing from roof to roof.
"Hey, Spidy." Cat Noir said, "You alright? What was that about you and Argent Hawk fighting?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little on edge." Iron Spider said, "Family is visiting."
"Family visiting?" Ladybug thought as the heroes leap off in the direction of Dark Owl, "That's a coincident."
The heroes arrive at Parc des Princes, Iron Spider, Ladybug and Cat Noir arrive, on their guard for a surprise attack by Dark Owl.
"Hello?" Cat Noir said, "Mr. Damocles?"
The lights turn on briefly blinding them as Dark Owl spoke, "I am not Mr. Damocles! I am the Dark Owl!"
Behind Dark Owl, who was standing on the roof of the stadium, Iron Spider's drone, identify his weapons.
"Grappling iron, boomerang, utility belt." Iron Spider whispered, "The akuma must be in one of his weapons."
"Yeah, but which one?" Cat Noir said.
"Don't know." Iron Spider said, before ordering his drone to use a rubber bullet to knock the detonator out of Dark Owl's hand.
Cat Noir catches the detonator in his outstretched hand, "Heroes don't hurt innocent beings, Dark Owl!" he said.
"Then give me your Miraculouses! Otherwise you will be to blame!" Dark Owl said, "Owl Talons!" he shot his grappling hook, tying the heroes up and they fall to the ground, making Cat Noir lose the detonator.
Iron Spider use his jet thruster to move him and his tied up teammates out of the way of Dark Owl's incoming attack.
"Cataclysm!" Cat Noir said, using his power to touch the rope and destroys it.
"It's the end of the line for you!" Dark Owl said, picking up the detonator and throwing it up onto the top of the crate. Ladybug and Cat Noir went towards the detonator as Iron Spider went for the Akumatized victim, to buy them enough time.
Dark Owl is caught off-guard as Iron Spider lays into him with a series of punches and kicks that he can barely block, an uppercut giving Dark Owl the opening he needs to follow up with a throw that sends Iron Spider across the field.
Nimbly sliding out of an overhead jab, Iron Spider get caught up in a set of parried punches until Dark Owl catches Iron Spider off-guard with an underhanded punch.
Throwing his boomerang towards Ladybug and Cat Noir, but with a blast from Iron Spider he destroys it before they can be hit.
"Albert, activate the hatch!" Dark Owl said, and the hatch under Ladybug and Cat Noir opens, causing them to fall inside the crate.
"The room they are in is filling up with whipped cream as we speak! Whipped cream's too thick to swim, but too runny to float on." Dark Owl said as he was still facing off with Iron Spider, "They're going to drown! Unless that you accept defeat and give me your Miraculouses!"
Iron Spider turned around to come to his friend aid, but Dark Owl throws another gadget, sending an EMP through his suit, knocking him to the ground.
"What are you going to do now?" Dark Owl taunted, "Your nothing without your suit."
"A wise man once told me." Iron Spider said standing back to his feet and raising his fists, "If your nothing without the suit, than you shouldn't have it."
Iron Spider ducks under a punch from Dark Owl, the pair get more engaged in their bout, but Dark Owl regains his advantage in the fight, knocking Iron Spider against the crates, Dark Owl takes the opportunity to throw a a few boomerangs, which exploded on impact.
Iron Spider recovers and tries to hit him, but Dark Owl evaded and is hit several times, knocking him into the ground again.
"So how does it feel to lose for once and be humiliated?" Dark Owl said to the downed hero, "Stay down! I am the guardian of Paris! I am the Dark Owl!"
Iron Spider groaned as he stood up, "I wasn't trying too beat you." he said, catching his fist before knocking him back with his fist, "I was trying to stalling you."
"Stall me?" Dark Owl said, "For who?"
A set of explosive web projectiles where shot at Dark Owl, the ensuing explosion, combined with the blast from the recovered Iron Spider send him flying over the ground.
"For me." Metal Arachnid said, landing next to Iron Spider.
"What took you so long?" Iron Spider said, immediately using his gauntlets to cut the side of the crate, "How are the civilians?" whipped cream spilled out of the crate, Ladybug and Cat Noir where covered in the white substance.
"They are all fine. I got a little help from a silver bird." Metal Arachnid said, "Is he a friend of yours?"
"No, he's not a friend of mine." Iron Spider said, looking as his teammates ran up to them.
"Thanks for the assist, Metal Arachnid." Ladybug said, removing as much whipped cream off her as possible.
"Same here." Cat Noir said, "We still don't know where the akuma is hidden. But we know that it's not in any of his weapons!"
"Well... The Knightowl has a partner." Metal Arachnid said, remembering what he had read in the comics.
"Then... so does Dark Owl!" Iron Spider said, "Dark Owl's akumatized object isn't just on him! It's in his lair!"
"Boomerang trajectory control, Albert!" Dark Owl shouted, taking out his boomerangs and throws them at them.
But Iron Spider shot a blast from his gauntlet to counter them, "Cat Noir, Ladybug, go get that akumatized item." he said, striding towards Dark Owl, "I'll keep him busy."
"I'll back you up." Metal Arachnid said.
"We're counting on you two." Ladybug said as she and Cat Noir went into the direction of Françoise Dupont High.
Dark Owl runs and jumps to slam his fist towards Iron Spider, who blocks with one arm. Dark Owl starts punching Iron Spider repeatedly, who seems to be tanking a few hits, and getting hurt by others.
Iron Spider starts dodging the punches as Metal Arachnid attempts to kick Dark Owl, but he blocks the kick. However, Dark Owl gets forced back. Metal Arachnid hurls a few web bombs at Dark Owl, but he blocks them with his cape.
Dark Owl throws his boomerang, which Metal Arachnid jumps over and grabs Dark Owl with a string of web as the boomerang comes back towards the fighters.
The boomerang hits Metal Arachnid in the back and Dark Owl pulls the dazed hero forward, running forward before slamming into Metal Arachnid, forcing him into the wall who seems to have trouble staying on his feet, but he's fine.
Dark Owl is prepared to finish the fight before Iron Spider steps in, deflecting the strike so that Dark Owl punches the wall.
Iron Spider activates the Shock Gloves and rushes towards Dark Owl, unleashing a beatdown of rapid punches, disorienting Dark Owl. Iron Spider hits the disoriented Dark Owl at a pressure point before hitting him a few more times, knocking him to his knees.
The window leading into Mr. Damocles' office at Françoise Dupont High was shattered by Ladybug's yo-yo, allowing her and Cat Noir in.
"Intrusion! Intrusion! Intrusion!" a voice echoed through the room. On the monitor they saw a humanoid head, who mouthed the words.
"A computer! Of course!" Ladybug said, kicking the computer monitor drops onto the floor, and slammed her feet on it, releasing the akuma.
"No more evildoing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize!" she 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.
Later that evening Mr. McGrath sat in the living room of his apartment, a glass of whisky in hand as he sat in a chair near the balcony window.
He didn't turn his chair around until he heard a certain bookcase open and his son stepped into the room.
"Boy." Mr. McGrath said, turning his chair around and putting his glass down on a nearby table, "How long has this been going on? Why haven't you informed us that there is a supervillain running lose in Paris?"
"So you could take me away from here and go solve it all by yourself?" Travis said as the bookcase closed behind him, "I never tell you anything because you don't listen to me!"
"Do you have any idea how many blind eyes I have turned for you?" Mr. McGrath said, standing up from his chair, "Don't you think I didn't notice those changes in the budget? The once you use to make all your gadgets, or that you hacked into my satellite?"
"You knew?" Travis said surprise.
"I might not be as good with technology as you, but I'm no idiot either." Mr. McGrath said, "Do you know why I'm so hard on you?" closing the gap between them.
"Because I'm a disappointment." Travis said, turning his angry gaze away from his father, "Because I'm not as strong as you and Ava?"
"No, your anything but a disappointment to me." McGrath said, placing a hand on his son's shoulder, "I am hard on you, because I know you can be better than even me. I haven't always been there for you."
"Y-Your busy." Travis said surprised as he looking at his father, "Your an important man."
"That's no excuse." Mr. McGrath said regretfully, shaking his head, "I'm not... Good, at expression my feelings. But I'm proud of you."
