His father is Hawk Moth.

That's the only thing going around Adrien's head right now, the revelation that his father is apparently Hawk Moth. The very sickening revelation, at that. Speaking of which…

Adrien claps a hand over his mouth suddenly, and Bloom says "Two doors down on the right." He's up and moving before he can even nod his head, and makes it just in time to start retching into the toilet bowl.

Once his body has finally stopped trying to bring up his stomach - maybe this is his body trying to reject the info-dump he just got - he feels a hand rest on his back and a familiar warmth seep into his body. He doesn't know whether to be comforted or worried, though - it's obviously his sister, but why she's here is another matter entirely. Adrien finds himself getting pulled back gently, the toilet seeming to flush of its own accord as he leans back, and he looks over to see Bloom's worried expression. After a moment, he dejectedly asks "Does he want Plagg back?" It's the first thing that comes to mind after 'my father is Hawk Moth' - Master Fu almost certainly wants Plagg and his Miraculous back.

And he doesn't know if he can take that as well, being rejected so suddenly because of something his father did.

Bloom's expression turns to realization, and she pulls him into a hug again at once. "No, Brother, no he doesn't."

Adrien pulls back slightly in shock, asking "He doesn't?" Bloom shakes her head, and says "You had no idea, Adrien. None. Nothing he's doing reflects back on you, nothing." Adrien hugs his sister again, hard as he can this time, and tries to stop shaking like a leaf - it feels like his entire world has just been shaken like a snow globe, forget simply turned upside down, and she's the one thing that's stable. Well, her and Plagg, who's currently sitting on his free shoulder and purring as loudly as possible to try and comfort him.

After a bit, Adrien suddenly panics and pulls back, saying "You can't tell her!"

Bloom blinks, and asks "Tell who?"

Adrien can feel fear start to run through him once more, and starts stammering "Ladybug! My father- She'll- I can't-" She'll hate him, there's no way she won't hate him.

Bloom's eyes glance to directly above his head for a moment, even as one of her hands moves to his shoulder, and she breathes out "Oh, Kitty…" When she glances back down to his face, she says "She could never hate you, Adrien. She can get angry at you, or disappointed, or even frustrated with your lack of timing when it comes to flirting, but Spots could never hate you. As Adrien or Cat Noir, I promise."

Adrien gets tense as a bowstring when she says they have to tell her who Hawk Moth is, but they can leave out his identity altogether. And stress that his son had nothing to do with any of it.

And then Bloom looks up, only to see a meteor heading straight for the city. "OhmyKwamis!" She's transformed and out the building using 'Wind Dragon' before Adrien can even get his own transformation phrase out.

Ladybug lands on a roof, heart almost stopping when she realizes she won't get to the meteor in time, when she sees a blur of orange streak past her - that orange streak resolves into a figure that looks vaguely like a fox-themed superhero from this distance, who then leaps up and slows down the giant fiery rock. And then Dragon Fyre appears, leaping up from a nearby rooftop she appeared on, and punches the meteor…only for the meteor to disappear in a puff of orange mist. Thinking quickly, the red-head lets out two streams of flames from her hands to slow her fall and keep from taking out the top of the building she hits on impact - she'd called up as much magic as she could to destroy a meteor on impact, but it won't just not destroy something two seconds later simply because the meteor was a fake. Unfortunately.

Ladybug lands next to her, asking "You alright?" Dragon Fyre nods, accepting the offered hand up, and says "It was more the shock than anything else, Spots. We've got to talk later, there's something big you need to hear. But…I think it needs to wait." Ladybug realizes her best friend is looking past her, and follows the line of sight to the orange-clad figure she saw before. Now that she's closer, it's easier to make out more details about her - orange and white outfit, with black accents. Fox ears on her head, and an orange flute in her hand. "She looks familiar…"

Dragon Fyre nods her head, then quietly says "I think I know who she is. And I think she's a fake, Spots. Play along, get her talking." She'd just seen the Fox Miraculous at Master Fu's place before going to get Adrien, after all, but it's possible she might've been scouted out by the guy. Highly doubtful, but possible - it did take a bit to get to the park, so it might not be Lila Rossi. He could've sent Trixx to a new Holder while she was processing the detail that her brother quite literally lives with the Devil.

Cat Noir lands next to the two ladies, asking "Is everything alright with the meteor? I couldn't make it in time."

Dragon Fyre frowns in the direction of the girl that disappeared behind a chimney, and says "It was never really there, Brother. Something's up."

And then Cat Noir's ears twitch - yes, the fake ears actually twitch - and he says "Someone's coming." The fox-girl from before lands in front of them, and Dragon Fyre immediately knows her suspicions are confirmed - this is Lila Rossi. The same girl she called out about an hour ago for faking having a Miraculous.

Cat Noir apparently sees the exact same thing she does, because he plasters a fake smile onto his face and starts talking animatedly. Even gesturing for added effect.

Ladybug would feel bad for this new girl, as she's clearly struggling to keep up with Cat's mile-a-minute over-the-top introduction, except she knows both her partners' behaviors by now. Cat Noir's doing all the talking, keeping her distracted and off-balance, while Dragon Fyre stands back to study her. She should know, she's been in Cat Noir's place plenty of times as Marinette. However it is she does it, or whatever it is she does exactly, it's never led them wrong before - and, from the way she's not relaxing in the slightest…she's not who she says, not at all. She introduces herself as Volpina, another dead giveaway to two of the heroes, and then says "I saw someone you might want to take a look at while I was up in the air, follow me."

She's off in a blur of orange, and Dragon Fyre says "Earpieces in, guys. I'm really certain she's been Akumatized, but we don't know what her powers are exactly." Two seconds later, they're all after 'Volpina' with their earpieces hidden in their ears - if she wants to split them up, they'll still be in contact with one another. She's going to have to try harder than just getting them apart if she wants to take them out.

When they all get to where Volpina's waiting, they see…Hawk Moth standing on a nearby chimney. Just standing there, not doing anything. Ladybug gasps, quickly slapping her hand over her mouth, and ducks down to ask "What's he doing here? Something big is going down!"

Dragon Fyre and Cat Noir trade looks, one confused and one extremely anxious - there's every possibility he knows the spellbook is gone, after all. After a moment, she quietly shakes her head and says "Maybe he's waiting for something."

Volpina asks "Maybe he's searching for us?"

Cat Noir immediately says "He wouldn't be just standing there if he were!" If he knows the book is missing, he'd either be hunting them down...or hunting him down, specifically. Adrien Agreste, not Cat Noir, at that.

Ladybug frowns, asking "You alright, Cat Noir?" He's not usually this on edge, if the way his tail keeps smacking her in the leg is anything to go by.

Dragon Fyre nods, saying "We'll talk later, LB." Hawk Moth, or whatever that is over there, suddenly vanishes in a cloud of black butterflies. And then they have to split up, to play along and keep Volpina from taking them by surprise - if they play along, they stand a better chance of figuring out just what her powers are rather than pushing her into some kind of tantrum, after all.

Dragon Fyre follows Volpina from behind, as she tracks Ladybug, and says "Spots, she's after you. I don't like this, guys."

Cat Noir's voice sounds in her ear, saying "I REALLY don't like this, ladies. Hawk Moth just vanished, I'm heading to you."

Ladybug stares at Volpina tensely, about fifty different missiles pointed straight at her. The insane fox-themed woman smirks, and says "Give me your Miraculous, or the building goes down!" Just before Ladybug can reach for her earrings, though, to stop the destruction of an apartment, Dragon Fyre lands on it and…the destruction just vanishes in an orange mist.

Ladybug gasps, then says "That's your power, illusions! Lies! Just like the meteor, just like Hawk Moth!" Just like all the stuff you said at school today, Lila Rossi!

And then a fireball hits Volpina square in the side, only for her to turn into an orange mist as well. Dragon Fyre swears - yes, she actually swears, something that does not usually happen despite her temper - and says "She must be heading for Adrien Agreste's place, she's got a thing for him. Hawk Moth made her a pseudo-Miraculous Holder! Just without the usual limits!"

Now Ladybug feels like swearing - because that is certainly swear-worthy, she's just glad he doesn't usually go so far with his Akumas. Cat Noir's voice sounds in their ears, saying he'll meet them there.

The two girls head over to the Agreste Mansion, and Ladybug yells over "Alright, so she probably does have enhanced strength, agility, etc. Anything else?"

Dragon Fyre says "Well, she might actually be able to fly thanks to that Akuma! Pretty sure an actual Fox Miraculous Holder wouldn't be able to, though."

"What's her deal, anyway?!" Marinette didn't like Lila, not in the slightest, but she doesn't have any kind of idea what might've happened to get her Akumatized.

They land on top of the Agreste Mansion, Cat Noir nowhere in sight, and Dragon Fyre gets a serious look on her face. "Spots, Rossi is…different. In the head. I…I don't know what, exactly, it is I do, but…I think I can read minds."

Ladybug stares at her best friend for a solid minute, Volpina completely forgotten as she tries to determine whether Dragon Fyre/Bloom Peters is lying to her or not. Though, the evidence…is pointing towards not - she knew about Bob Roth trying to promote XY using Jagged Stone, she knew Adrien hadn't put the gum on her seat…hell, she knew her secret identity right off the bat. "Have you ever read my mind?"

Dragon Fyre nods, and says "Everyone's. I can't shut it off, Spots. The most I can do is narrow it down to one person, whoever I'm focusing on at the time. It…It's like there's a ghost right above your head, and it's talking to. They all say different things, Miss Mendeleiev constantly rants about how she can't seem to drive lab safety through our heads, for instance. But Lila…she was constantly sizing people up and wondering how she could use them. Even Chloe isn't that self-centered, and almost every thought of hers is about herself. The rest are about Adrien. Lila, though, she…I can't explain it, Spots, but she lies to get everyone's attention and for the fun of it. She doesn't care about anyone but herself, and loves manipulating everyone around her. She's…she's a real piece of work, and I truly think even Chloe's better than her."

That, more than anything else, gets Ladybug's attention - her best friend can't stand Chloe Bourgeois, and for her to say someone they've only met today is worse than her? It says quite a lot.

After a minute, she sighs and says "We need to make a list of everything you noticed, then. We'll see if anything seems to fit after this."

Dragon Fyre shrugs, and says "Admittedly, a lot of her lies don't seem that outlandish at first glance - we live in an age of daily miracles, with us and Hawk Moth's supervillains making appearances at least once a day. Add to it the detail that we've met Jagged Stone, Rose has Prince Ali's number and talks regularly with him…it doesn't sound that far-fetched at first glance…" Until you get to the part where Jagged Stone wrote a song for a child after she saved his kitten on an airplane runway, and her eardrum burst and left her with Tinnitus. That'd be when it gets into the realm of 'are you kidding me?!'

And then Ladybug gets fed up with waiting for Cat Noir when they see Volpina get in through the window, and they head in after the fox-fake.

Only for Dragon Fyre to freeze in horror when she sees Volpina's hand wrapped around Adrien Agreste's wrist.

AN: Dun-dun-duuuunn! Relax, everyone, I'm not mean enough to leave it at a cliffhanger like that. As for the description of Lila...you try describing the thoughts of someone like her. Please, I'd love to have a description, no sarcasm whatsoever. Because I seriously see Rossi as a Narcisstic Sociopath - I looked it up, and she checks a lot of boxes.

Exaggerating abilities or achievements - check.

Obsessed with obtaining influence, success, beauty, or adoration - definite check.

Often exercising entitlement or expecting favorable treatment - CHECK.

A tendency toward arrogance in behavior or attitude - um, yes, check.

Lacking empathy toward their peers and others - do I even need to say it? Check.

Often feeling envy toward others, or perceiving that they are being treated a certain way due to others being jealous - check.

Non-hesitant in exploiting other people in order to achieve personal goals - again, need I say it? Just in case, CHECK.

Feeling a need for excessive displays of admiration or requiring excessive admiration from others - please see above. CHECK.

Making impulsive decisions and/or failing to plan ahead - lying about being a Miraculous Holder? Check.

Prone to physical violence or altercations due to irritability and aggressiveness - getting herself Akumatized? Check.

Reckless disregard or lack of concern for the safety of other people as well as themselves - please see Riposte, check.

Persistent display of irresponsibility, typically reflected in the failure to perform at work or maintain a job, in addition to being unable to meet financial obligations - skipping school for so long counts, as she's not old enough for a job. Check.

Indifferent to the hurtful impact of their actions on others, sometimes rationalizing their behavior in order to justify a lack of remorse - again, Riposte. Check.

The needs and wants of others are insignificant and undeserving of consideration, no remorse or guilt whatsoever - if she had any remorse, or cared about others, none of the above would've happened. Right? Check.

Seriously, for all that the creators can't stick to a timeline in S1...they sure as heck made one well-written Sociopath.
