"I look forward to meeting you in person, Wolfette. Everything will be explained. Take note of the address and then destroy this"

Felicity didn't know what to think of this. Someone else knew her secret identity.

"Rikki" Felicity called. The Kwami was asleep. "It's important."

"I'm sleeping" Rikki replied.

"I have chocolate," Felicity said.

"Where?" Rikki asked as he flew over to his holder. "I see you opened the envelope"

"Oh, this" Felicity said as she showed him. "Wait, you already knew about it."

"Yes, I'm sorry I never told you. The person who gave you the note is someone that you can trust" Rikki said.

"Who is it?" Felicity asked.

"He's a Guardian," Rikki said.


Felicity didn't say anything. It was a big shock to her.

"How long have you known?" Felicity asked.

"A few weeks" Rikki replied. "I think it was the night that your Aunt died. I should have told you"

"Who gave you the note. I don't remember seeing anyone" Felicity asked, she wanted to find out who has been following her. They knew where she lived. 'What else does this person know about me'

"I was told not to tell you" Rikki replied. "If you want more answers we should go and meet him."

"Maybe your right. I should," Felicity said. If Rikki said that she could trust this person then maybe it wouldn't be that bad.


Felicity walked out the doors of Maple Park School, Mia, Lena and Eliza followed. The English exam had finished and there is only one more exam left until they finished for the summer.

After stopping at Eliza's house to change out of their school uniform, the girls walked along the road.

"Hey, Felicity, do you have any plans?" Mia asked "Lena, Eliza and I are going to the library to go over some bits for the last exam. Did you want to come?"

"I can't, I have to do a favour for my mum," Felicity said.

"You said that the last time," Mia said. "Is there something your not telling us?"

"Mum's been struggling since her sister died, she's been having appointments at different places to try and help her cope" Felicity replied, "I offered to help her with a few jobs."

"Oh, I didn't realise," Mia said, "We can go with you if you like and then go to the library"

"No, it's ok" Felicity replied.

"Ok then. See you tomorrow" Mia said as she walked away with Leah and Eliza.


Time Skip

When Felicity arrived at the address she had been given, it wasn't what she was expecting. The outside of the shop had cream walls and in the shop window, you could see jars of tea leaves and a big gold teapot. It looked the shop had been there for a long time.

Felicity walked into the shop and looked around. A boy stood at the counter. On his top was a name tag with the name 'Josh' on it.

"Hello, can I help you?" Josh asked.

I'm just looking," Felicity said before she remembered that her Mum had asked her to pick up some tea bags on the way home from school. "Actually, do you sell earl grey here."

"Yes, we do. It's £5.00 for a box of 20" Josh replied. "Can I interest you in anything else?"

"No, thank you. I just take the box, please," Felicity said. Josh took the box of tea down from the shelf and placed it on the counter.

"That will be £5.00, please. Would you like to pay with cash or card?" Josh asked.

"Cash," Felicity said as she opened her school bag to get her money out her blazer pocket. She then gave it to Josh.

"Are you new around here. I don't think I've seen you in the shop before?" Josh asked.

Felicity didn't get a chance to reply. An elderly man came out of the backroom.

"Ah, you must be here for a tea-making session. Come, it's this way" The man said as he walked towards a door, giving Felicity a warm smile. "Josh, can you close up the shop before you leave please"

'Ok, this is strange. Maybe I should have brought Mia with me, but then she would find out my secret and tell everyone at school'

Josh had disappeared. Felicity looked at the man in front of her, studying him more now. He had grey hair, brown eyes and wrinkles on his skin. He wore a pair of brown trousers and a check shirt.

"Come, I'll make some tea," Mr Lu said.

Felicity decided to follow Mr Lu.


A few minutes later, Felicity found herself sitting in a Chinese inspired room. She had a steaming mug of tea in front of her. Felicity didn't really like tea but she didn't want to hurt the man's feelings.

"I still don't get why you contacted me. I don't mean to be rude but who are you?" Felicity asked.

"I'm what you would consider a guardian of the miraculous. You can call me Jin Lu," Mr Lu said. "It's been my job to look after what's left of the Western Zodiac Miraculous box for a while now. When my great grandfather was alive something happened that caused some of the miraculous to be separated along with the ancient scrolls. I thought I would never see them again. "

Mr Lu walked over to a cupboard and opened it. Felicity didn't see what he did next but Mr Lu came back with an old fashioned box in his hands. It was different from the one that Felicity saw when she met Master Fu.

"The miraculous of the robin, the owl, the raven and the lion are the only ones that my great grandfather managed to find," Mr Lu said. "I currently have the robin miraculous."

As he said this, another Kwami appeared. Rikki who had been listening to the conversation from Felicity's pocket appeared as well.

"It's nice to meet you, Felicity. I'm Flynn, Mr Lu's Kwami"

"Nice to meet you too," Felicity said.

The two Kwamis started flying around the room, playing with each other.

Felicity and Mr Lu continued their conversation.

"Do you have an idea about where they could be?" Felicity asked. "I found some of the scrolls as well in Paris. That's where I found the miraculous."

"Did you find anything else that could be of use?" Mr Lu asked.

"No," Felicity replied.

"That's a shame," Mr Lu said. "Anyway, it's important that you and Tawny Owl stop Firefly and free Tess from his control."

Rikki and Flynn stopped chasing each other around the room and joined their holders.

"You can count on both of us," Felicity said. "Should I mention this meeting or keep it a secret. We don't know our civilian identities."

"I've never really been a fan of those rules. All I can say is you will know when the time is right. If you need to talk, my door is open but please use the door located at the side rather than the shop door." Mr Lu said. He smiled at Felicity as she picked her school bag up from the floor.

"I'll keep that in mind. Rikki, come on, we're going now" Felicity said. Rikki hid in Felicity's bag.


Felicity walked into the house. Her Mum looked up and smiled at her.

"How did your exam go today?" Her Mum asked. "You sounded pretty stressed out this morning."

"It was ok," Felicity replied. "I got the tea you asked for"

"Thank you, Felicity," Her Mum said as she took the box of tea out the shopping bag. "You didn't have to go to one of those fancy tea shops tho. The supermarket tea is fine"

"It was on my way home. I took a different route. We stopped at Eliza's house" Felicity said. "I wanted to get it for you"

"It's very kind of you Felicity" Felicity's Mum replied. "I think I might have to pay this shop a visit next time. Anyway, dinner will be ready in five minutes"

Felicity smiled at her Mum before going upstairs to put her bag away.


Note:

The miraculous mentioned in the chapter have different origins to the ones that are seen in the Miraculous Ladybug Universe. The back story about Mr Lu's family will be revealed in a later chapter.

It may take me longer to write the next chapter.

Hope everyone's staying safe during these strange times.
