[Scene: Top of Montparnasse Tower, Ladybug/ Cat Noir right after their reveal (kisses, hugs etc)]

After that exceptionally long kiss and the shock of the reveal, they finally got to talk about serious things again.

"So Bugaboo, I think that you implied something before about abusing superpowers. Care to enlighten your boyfriend?"

"Hold on there Catboy, we need to take some time on that topic. Can't rush it too much. And yes, I'm gonna have to something I'm not that proud of and potentially dangerous, but I have complete faith in my instincts and I can almost guarantee that it would prevent a destruction rather than causing one."

"Damn it, I'll bring that up at another time I guess. That's all I need to know I guess?" and faked a smile, but it was obvious he was sad not only for slowing down their relationship, but believing that his lady still did not trust him enough.

"Okay, I'll tell you, but don't overreact."

"Relax, I already knew Alya's identity since the Rocketear incident, Nino totally did not spill it out in front of me as Adrien before getting akumatized."

"HE DID WHAT?"

"Oh, I was not supposed to say that. But it is understandable because he was upset enough to get akumatized. Maybe add him to the list of 'people-you-need-to-talk-to'."

"Anyways, no harm is done from that so I'll let it slip for now. So, something insanely stupid and unlucky happened to me today."

"Luck is your thing though milady..." Ladybug groans

"Well, I was on a group voice chat with Rose, Juleka, Mylene and Alix, when some kwamis interrupted us, and I had to respond to them. Normally it would be fine since their voices can't be caught by technology, but I still muted my mic. As I believed the mic was muted I felt free to say anything out loud including kwami names that the girls knew about; yes, they are all temporary holders, except Alix who is... you know... Anyways, somehow my mic got unmuted while I was not paying attention, I suspect a kwami touched my phone accidentally. Worst thing is that they all figured me out, I think. What other reason would they have to wish to talk with me in private?"

"Dude, if this situtation wasn't serious enough I would have bursted out laughing. So, what are you gonna do now that they know? The danger of them getting akumatised or hit by a mind-contol villain is pretty high, they have been really careless in the past."

"Exactly, and I think I have no other choice than to... include them in the team."

"Wow bug, are you serious? Handing out Miraculouses isn't like handing out candy."

"Yes, they all have proven themselves before. Besides, their identities are not exposed from Miracle Queen. Also, by having their Miraculous full-time, they can protect themselves and their close ones during mind control akumas, or in case Shadow Moth somehow learns about them and goes after them like he did in Alya's case."

"I see your point, it is a high priority that they are safe and what else can't guerantee that other than a Miraculous?"

"So you agree?"

"I'd never go against your choices milady, but there is still one thing to bare in mind: wouldn't it be suspicious if 4 new permanent heroes appear out of nowhere?"

"Silly kitty, first of all, Shadow Moth won't know they are permanent, secondly, they won't appear to fight unless I ask them to, and lastly, even if it is known they are permanent, they won't be introduced at the same time."

"Oh yeah"

"And by the way, in order to not raise suspicions, Ladybug and Cat Noir won't start dating at the same time as Marinette and Adrien. It's too dangerous. I say we announce LadyNoir soon while we start seeing each other's civilian identities as more than friends."

"Always so smart Purrinces"

"Don't call me like that while transformed please."

"..."

"I'll arrange an exclusive interview on the Ladyblog to publicly announce LadyNoir. Gosh, I never expected to say something like that since I became Ladybug. Though, careful at school tomorrow, we both know that the feelings are mutual, but we can't get so close that soon. We can start by walking together to school, or talking more frequently, actually nevermind the latter, just me being able to talk to you properly would be a hurricane for the others. Let me do the first step. I'll 'confess' to you and then we will start getting closer. That's the gameplan."

"Wait, what do you mean about that 'hurricane'?"

"Don't tell me you haven't realised that you're the only person Marinette can't talk to without stuttering?"

"Uhm no?"

"Adrien Agreste, you must be the most oblivious person in the planet. Even Jagged Stone has noticed it."

"..."

"Anyways, stick to the plan: act normal till I 'confess my love to you' and then we will start spending more time together. Though, Marinette and Adrien will start dating at least 2 weeks after LadyNoir is announced."

"It's going to be so hard to be around you for so many hours resisting the urge to cuddle you milady, but I think I'll be able to withstand it."

"I'll let you know if anything important happens, now I have to talk to a few girls. Bug out!" She pulled out her yo-yo and started grappling through rooftops

"See you soon milady!" he said while waving her goodbye


(A.N) So, this part is a little bit boring to write, and well I don't want to have to write 4 very similar looking dialogues. So let's skip to the part where she meets Alix, which is the most important one because she has powers over time itself. The rest of the girls gladly accepted their jewels full-time and their new duties, while promised to keep Marinette's and Alya's identity a secret.

[Scene: Alix's room Ladybug just knocked her window]

"Who is it? Wait, my door is open, so who knocked?" then she notices her the black spotted superhero on the other side of the window and immediately closes the door to her room then opens her window and Ladybug comes in "Ma- Ladybug? What are you doing here?"

"Hi Alix, I'm here to do what you asked me previously: talk. I believe there's going to be plenty of questions."

"Is that you Marinette?"

"Yes, I'm so sorry for keeping it a secret for such a long time, the reasons are pretty obvious I think. You need to promise me to not tell anyone."

"I'd never betray a friend, especially if she turns out to be my favorite superhero. I still can't believe it though, you of all people being Ladybug, if someone just walked up to me and told me that like a week ago I'd call them crazy. No offense, but the differences between the 2 are huge. You're doing a very good job at keeping it secret."

"I'll take that as a compliment." Ladybug frowned

"So... why are you here? There's no way you came over here just for that."

"Well yes, there's something more. In fact, I already knew you would keep it a secret Alix. I am here to respond to your trust with trust." opens up her yo-yo. "But you're gonna have to keep lots of secrets now on." pulls out the rabbit Miraculous. "And you're gonna have to learn to use the comment 'No spoilers' frequently."

"Oh my God, it is finally happening!" Alix shouted before ladybug put a finger on her lip and saying a silent "shhhh"

"Sorry, i got overexcited"

"Alix Kubdel, here is the Miraculous of the rabbit, which grants the power of Evolution. You will use it for the greater good." Alix takes the watch and Fluff appears out of it.

"Hey you're that little thing that future me used to transform, Fluff isn't it?"

"Yes Alix" stops for a second to think "Oh this is one of my favorite moments of the decade" shouts happily and hugs Alix "We are gonna go through so much together young Lady. Also, from now on you like carrots."

"Fluff..." Ladybug stares at him

"Oh right, where are my manners. I am Fluff the kwami of Evolution, I offer you the power of time travelling. To transform all you need to say is 'Fluff, Clockwise' and to detransform 'Counter Clockwise'. Your superpower is 'Burrow' which is a portal to the dimension of timelines, where you can time travel. The only thing that sucks right now is that you can only have it open for 5 minutes before detransfroming."

"Why is that so?" Alix questioned

"I'm not sure why either, but whenever a minor like us uses their superpower, they detransform shortly after, while that doesn't apply to adults." Ladybug replied

"I see"

"Before I go I need to make it clear. Your older self has taught me that using a Miraculous for a personal gain can only have destructive consequences and sometimes even destroying the timeline. Your job will usually be to fix those mistakes that happen for whatever reason in the timeline and keep it flowing normally. Older Bunnyx also said that she is the 'superhero of last chance' and that she only joins the fight on life-or-death situations. I advise you to not appear in akuma fights unless it is vital for the team's success and only show up if you're called by someone."

"Why did you use the word team?"

"You'll see in the future..."

"You realise that I can learn that right now if I want to"

"Danm it Alix you're too smart" Ladybug complimented her new partner

"But as I was saying the most important duty of yours is to never tell anyone about the knowledge of the past/ future that you gain through the Miraculous. That includes going to the future to learn Shadow Moth's identity and then come tell it to me. No intervening in the timeline. Anything related to it must be handled with pure responsibility."

"Got it Ladyboss"

"Why does everyone call me with random nicknames? Please, it's just Ladybug!"

"I was just messing with you" (a.n. if only she knew about the infamous 'Ladydude')

"I'm gonna go rest now, you can't even imagine for how long I've been transformed today and it hasn't even been an akuma attack. Last reminder: keep Fluff always hidden and feed him frequently, his favorite food is carrots." she said before leaving

"So now it's just the two of us huh?" Alix said to Fluff

"Don't worry Alix, it's always like that."

"Always?"

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you that I know what happens in the future. I'm assuring you that we are gonna go through many adventures together..."

"Cool, now where do I hide this thing (the watch). I obviously can't have it in plain sight and it is too big to hide it in a purse or something." Then notices it swapped to camouflage mode looking identical to her heirloom watch "Wait, how did it change color?"

"Miraculouses have a camouflage mode when they are owned by a holder, so that their identity isn't given away so easily."

"Even cooler. Now I can just say I found my old man's watch since they look the same. Everyone knows how important it is to me having it all the time since I the first time I got akumatized when it broke and thus no one will question me about it."

"Great idea Alix."

(A.N) Why are you still there viewer? Leave those two alone, these are some important holder-kwami bonding moments. Begone!


Next morning comes and everything seems back to normal. Marinette is late to class again, but barely made it in time (but for the kwamis waking her up she would have probably missed enough classes to be forced to repeat the year). But if I was to comment on the situation I would probably sing the chorus of the theme song of "Wizards of Waverly Place - Everything is not what it seems".

[Chloe POV btw mostly on 3rd person though, pretty much her thinking process]

Chloe even though she did not even give a look to the girls who all were wearing new jewels, immediately noticed her Adrikins being excited over something and a little bit frustrated. The moment she was about to ask him with her really cringe flirt style what had happened, the door slammed open to reveal a late (as usual) Marinette running in the class and yawning when she sat on her desk. The last thing she expected him to do was to greet Marinette in a very familiar way and calling her a nickname that she didn't hear clearly enough. And something even more unnatural happened. The stuttering mess of a girl, scowled him for something instead of her usual stuttering

Then Adrien responded to her with a smile. WAIT! Are they just talking like two normal teenagers would talk to each other? No, they look like long friends talking about something they have in common. Adrikins of all the people decided to chit chat with Dupain-Cheng? The only person she allows him to talk to is that Nino guy and they are buds. Also why has Dupain-Cheng not freaked out yet? She is talking to her Adrikins! Hold on a minute. Adrikins is talking with another girl. And that girl in not her, or at least that lying brat that he was forced to socialize with for the sake of his father. That is completely unacceptable! Or should she say "Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous!"...

Then she jumps of her seat, puts her angry face on and interrupts their conversation.

[End of Chloe's POV]

"Hey Adrikins, are you good today? I hope papa Agreste did not do anything to get you upset. You seemed irritated a while ago. You know, you can always talk to me." (death glare directed at Marinette) "Oh, hi Dupain-Cheng, I did not notice your presence. We people of high society don't really care about poor and unimportant people like you. Am I wrong Adrikins?" (A.N. sorry Chloe redemption fans but canon season 4 Chloe sounds like that a lot, so in this fic we got the good ol' bad girl Chloe)

"Hi Chloe, don't worry, I'm fine. In fact since Marinette came I'm doing alright. And I'd want you to apologize to her if you don't want me to start making up my mind about my older friends." Adrien responded in an also angry, but threatening tone

"Why should I apologize to that trash that comes by the name Dupain-Cheng?" (A.N. this is not a racistic comment by any means, Chloe is just a toxic person: mean to anyone to get what she wants)

"If you wanna take that route and keep buzzing like that, then you should better stay quiet and take your seat. I assure you, you don't want to play like that, because only over my dead body will you be allowed to insult one of my friends."

"It's okay Adrien, to be honest, I am so used to Chloe doing Chloe things, that I don't even pay too much attention when she is speaking." Marinette tried to relax him

"No, Chloe needs to make a choice: be a good person, or remove me as a friend. I've given her countless chances and she wasted every single one of them. I'm tired of this bull****. It's now or never!"

"Adrikins! You hurt me, you can't possibly ask me that."

"But I did, you've got 1 week to become a better person, now 6 days 23 hours 59 minutes and 55 seconds... Should I explain it to you one more time, or is the message sent?"

Chloe groaned and sat in her seat waiting for the class to start.

Meanwhile whispers could be heard from the rest of the class about how they like the new Adrien. His conversation with Chloe was so shocking, that no one yet has noticed that Marinette hasn't stuttered at all today and that she talks to him casually.

Then Adrien noticed Nino with his jaw dropped.

"Dude, wtf was that? How much have I missed?"

"Took you long enough to say a word, you're indeed as slow as a turtle." (A.N. for those who haven't noticed yet, Adrien is making Miraculous-related puns)

"Hey, you should know that turtles are pog. Babe, you agree, don't you?"

"Yes babe, turtles are the best." Alya responded immediately

"Anyways, will you answer my first question? Since when did you two get so close together?"

Marinette responded immediately "I found Adrien yesterday after his photoshoot and we had a long talk" (winks)

"OMG girl, when were you gonna tell me about it? We should totally start double dating as soon as Adrien's father lets him out more often." Alya said

"Relax Alya, we are just getting to know each other more. We are miles away from 'dating'. Besides, judging by my knowledge of my father, what you implied isn't bound to happen for at least 1 and a half year." Adrien said while Marinette started blushing

"I'm so proud of you bro. Seems like you finally discovered girls as well." Nino joked

"Hold on, are you forgetting Kagami?"

"No, but I wouldn't really call that a love relationship, more like close friends."

"Whatever you say big guy."

Then Miss Bustier joined the classroom and another literature lesson started. (For real though, how many literature lessons do they have per week?)


Ok, a lot has happened in this chapter. The first part is pretty much how any fanfic goes after the reveal: explaining their strategy etc. Then we got the creation of the Miracle Team. Then we also got a first sample of post-reveal adrinette. Anyways, I'd like to talk about something else here. First of all, I think that my characters in this story don't really show their development, so I am thinking of making a special chapter here and there explaining their thinking, personality etc, so that understanding their actions will be easier.

Another thing I wanted to bring up is what do you guys want to see of Chloe? Since this story is taking the non-canon route it is not vital to have her be like Lila 2.0. I was thinking of keeping the "bad girl Chloe" so that it is easier to come up with akumas etc, but I'd be down to go with a mini-redemption. She is not going to return as Queen Bee sadly, her identity is in danger and Marinette would hesitate to give her another go. Unless she proves herself in everyday actions and Zoe happens to be unavailable during an akuma attack... (ahem). To get to the point: I'm making a "poll" for you guys. Write which side of Chloe do you want to see in this story in the reviews (if you're on FanFiction) or in the comments (if you're on AO3). The side with most votes till 20th April will get their preferred Chloe in this story.
