Autumn was enjoying a nice walk along St Catherines Docks in the sunshine when her phone chimed, telling her that she had an email.
Autumn took her phone out of her pocket and opened the email.

"It won't be long and the whole of London will know that their heroes are kids. Soon I will have the goverment on my side and then I will finally get answers." Autumn thought to herself.
Benjamin found himself sitting at the family dining table. The table only got used during formal occasions or when they needed to talk about something important. Today must have been one of those days. His step-mum Linda sat opposite him. He could tell that she didn't want to be there.
"Your mother and I are going to Germany for the week," His father said. "Flavio and Luka will be in charge. I expect you to behave for them and make sure you study for your exams"
"Yes, Dad," Ben said, "Enjoy the conference."
"Thank you, Ben," His father said, "You may leave."
Ben didn't say anything else. He walked out of the dining room but not before he noticed the disappointed look his Step-Mum gave him.
"Great, exams start in two weeks and I'm stuck in the house with Flavio and Luka watching me. I'm 16, I don't need babysitters" Ben said as he sat down at his desk.
"Ben, your father is only looking out for you. He never mentioned anything about staying home," Oona said.
"It's not that. I remember last time they went away, Flavio checked on me every hour. I can't have him coming in when I'm out on patrol or fighting one of Firefly's minions" Ben said.
"I'm sure that everything will work out. Maybe you could talk to Flavio, tell him that if you need anything or want any help then you will find him," Oona suggested.
Ben felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He took it out and saw that he had a new message form, James.
James: Hey Ben, I'm having a games night next weekend at my house. Hope you can make it.
Ben looked at the message. His father would be back from Germany by then.
Ben: I'm up for it.
James: Cool. See you at school.
"Ben, it's time for patrol," Oona said.
"Oh, I almost forgot. We don't want to leave Wolfette waiting" Ben said.
"I'm ready when you are" Oona replied.
Ben smiled at his Kwami.
"Oona, let's fly"
Felicity looked up from her maths textbook.
"Exams are two weeks away and I still have no idea what any of this means," Felicity sighed, "I guess that what happens when you only have one school year to learn this content."
She closed the book and put it to one side.
"Rikki, It's time for patrol," Felicity said.
Her Kwami flew over to her and Felicity transformed.
Tawny Owl and Felicity/Wolfette met at there usual place, on the roof of the Whitechapel Gallery. The two heroes headed towards the West End. They watched the people below, enjoying a Friday Night out with friends and family.
"What a lovely night," Tawny Owl said. "We could catch a late-night movie at the cinema"
"I'm busy tonight. Sorry, Tanwy" Felicity replied. "Shall we do our usual route and meet back here. Call me if you see anything?"
"Sure," Tawny Owl said as he left.
Felicity/Wolfette watched as a young couple walked along the street. She could hear them laughing. Nothing interesting appeared to be happening. She was about to head back to meet Tawny Owl when all of the digital advertising boards lit up.
"Social Queen here with an announcement. I'm the new queen of social media. Wolfette, Tawny Owl bring me your Miraculous, your defeat will go viral" Social Queen announced.
Social Queen had pale skin, a beauty spot on her right check, blue hair that came to her waist. Her outfit consisted of a black bodycon dress with a silver belt. In the middle of the belt was a gold crown. In her hand, she had a phone.
"Now I know why they tell us that social media's bad for us," Felicity thought as she continued to watch the scene. The real Social Queen wasn't there.
"It appears that she can use the phone to display her image all over the city," Tawny Owl said.
"Oh, I didn't notice you there," Felicity said. "If she can do that then it means that she could be anywhere in the city. We need to get her to find us"
"I think I have an idea," Tawny Owl said. "Follow me"
"Tawny, where are we going?" Felicity asked.
"To the house of the girl who created the blog about us," Tawny Owl said. Felicity knew who he was talking about, her best friend Mia.
Instead of walking through the front door and risk disturbing Mia's parents, they knocked on the window. Mia turned around and looked at the two heroes in shock.
"Wolfette, Tawny Owl, what are you doing here. Isn't there a supervillain causing trouble" Mia asked.
"We need your help. Social Queen can project her image across the city but we need to get her to come to us. That's where you come in. We need you to make a video and post it on the internet" Tawny Owl said.
"Are you sure?" Mia asked as she got her iPad.
"We are" Felicity/Wolfette replied.
After submitting the video, the two heroes knew what to do next. They needed to figure out a way to distract Social Queen so Felicity could get the phone from her. In the distance, they could see a large crowd around Nelsons Column and the water fountain in Trafalgar Square.
"Looks like we found her," Tawny Owl said. "I wonder what got her upset"
"I'm not sure. I don't think so knows what she's doing" Felicity said. "There is a slight chance that she will listen to us"
Felicity and Tawny Owl dropped down from the rooftop and walked through the crowd. Most of the civilians had their eyes practically glued to the screens.
"Social Queen, you don't have to do this. Firefly is using you" Felicity said. "I don't think so. He's given me the chance to be an online sensation" Social Queen said.
"It's not right. If you hand your phone to me, I can free you from his control. Do the right thing" Wolfette said.
Social Queen looked down at the phone and then back to the heroes. She threw the phone away. The screen broke and dark firefly flew out.
"I fee you from evil"
Felicity touched it with her whip as it fell to the floor, turning into dust. Everything that had been damaged or broken by Social Queen turned back to normal.
"Your right. I let my jealousy get the better of me" Social Queen said as she turned back to normal. In Social Queen's place stood Leah, one of Felicity's classmates.
"What happened?" Leah asked as she looked around her.
"Are you ok, Miss?" Felicity said.
"I think so. I don't remember what happened" Leah said.
"Firefly got to you but it's ok now. " Felicity said, "Do you need help to get home?"
Leah looked at Felicity/Wolfette.
"No, thank you," Leah said. "I can walk."
"It's late. I will take you," Felicity said.
Ben had just turned back to normal. Oona floated next to him until the bedroom door opened.
"Ben, are you ok. I thought I heard you talking to someone" Flavio asked "Father said that you have to ask before you invite friends over"
"There's no one here. I was getting ready for bed. Next time can you knock before you come in" Ben said.
"I'm sorry, Ben," Flavio said. "Good Night."
"Night Flavio," Ben said.
Ben finished getting ready for bed. His Kwami laid on one side of his pillow, fast asleep. Ben climbed into bed, thinking about what life would be like if he still had contact with his birth mother.
