Marinette was both really excited and really nervous at the same time. She had finally asked out the guy she liked and he agreed to go out with her, to her this was a dream come true. After she arrived at the park she looked around to make sure that no one was around as she opened her purse to talk to Tikki.

"How are you feeling Marinette?" asked Tikki

"I am so excited they day I've been waiting for is finally here. But I am also pretty nervous because the day I've been waiting for is finally here"

"Is this what all humans are like when they go out on a date for the first time?"

"I can't speak on behalf of all humans, but for most of us. Yes" Marinette replied

"I'm sure that you'll do fine Marienette"

Marinette once again looked around and there was no one in sight, so she gave Tikki the ok to come out of her purse.

"We need to do a quick check over Tikki. Just to make sure that everything is ok"

"Ok" Tikki replied

"Is my hair ok?"

"Yep"

"I didn't go overboard with the perfume, did I?

"No" Tikki replied

"Am I wearing pants?"

Tikki looked down.

"Nope"

"What? On no this is terrible. I can't believe that I walked all the way here wearing just my underwear. If Adrien sees me like this it will be just…" Marinette looked down and saw that she actually was wearing pants "Very funny Tikki"

"Sorry, I couldn't resist" Tikki giggled

"I thought that jokes were normally Plagg's department" Marinette replied with an annoyed look on her face

"What? Can't I try to make a joke once in a while?"

"And you picked now to make a joke?" asked Marinette

"I never said I was any good at it. Like you said that's normally Plagg's department"

Just then Marinette heard something. She told Tikki to hide and Tikki quickly flew back into Marinette's purse as Marinette sat down on the bench trying to look natural. But it was just a random civilian walking by looking at his phone. After he was completely gone; Marinette gave Tikki the all clear.

"Phew, that was a close one" Marinette said as she breathed a sigh of relief

"You said it, I can't imagine what would have happened if I had been seen again"

"Anyway I hope that I don't screw up this date"

"Don't worry Marinette, I'm sure Adrien with enjoy this date. After all you did once go to the movies with him in your pyjamas once"

"Don't remind me of that" Marinette replied

"Maybe Adrien is just as nervous as you are?"

"Maybe you're right Tikki"


Adrien was walking through the alleyways so that no one could see him. When he stopped Plagg came out of his pocket to talk to him.

"Are you sure you still want to do this?" asked Plagg "I mean you just went through a lot 15 minutes ago"

Adrien looked at Plagg. Adrien's eyes weren't red anymore from the time he cried seeing his mother's comatose body.

"Yes Plagg I'm still going to do this. I will still tell Marinette who I am and how I feel"

"But if you tell her, you would have to give your Miraculous back to Master Fu" Plagg said

"Oh Crap" Adrien said "How come you didn't remind me of that earlier?"

"I'm not a notification feature that you have on your phone"

"I'll still tell her after all what Master Fu doesn't know won't hurt him"

"Are you 100% sure that Marinette is Ladybug?" Plagg asked.

Plagg already knew that Marinette was Ladybug, but he still tried to talk Adrien out of revealing his secret identity to her.

"Yes it all makes sense to me. Also since I just found out that Gabriel is Hawkmoth and hat he knows I'm Cat Noir; it's only gonna be a matter of time before he reveals my identity to Ladybug. If I tell her my secret identity she could be more understanding she might feel a little hurt too, but it's better that she feel a little hurt than deeply betrayed"

Plagg understood where Adrien was coming from but he was also concerned that Adrien was not referring to Gabriel as his father anymore.

"If you're gonna tell her you secret identity, maybe don't tell her in an alley because if seen those situations on TV. It normally ends up with someone either behind bars or dead"

"Gotcha, thanks for the tip" Adrien replied as he smiled at Plagg "Anyway I've got to go buy a rose for Marinette"


After buying a rose, Adrien soon arrived at the park where he saw Marinette sitting on the bench. Both of their eyes locked on each other as Adrien walked towards Marinette which in turn made Marinette smile.

"Happy Valentine's Day Marinette" Adrien said as he handed her a rose that he bought her

"Thanks Adrien, Happy Valentine's Day to you too" Marinette replied as she handed him some macarons that she had baked herself

"It sure is great when you bake"

"Yeah, this rose is lovely Adrien"

"They only had red ones" Adrien replied as he reached into his shirt and pulled out the Valentine's Day card the Marinette had previously wrote him "I believe that this was from you"

Marinette gasped and then smiled.

"I can't believe that you still kept that all this time"

"Yeah this was the best card I ever got that day and each day I wondered who sent it. But earlier today I was able to find my answer"

Marinette blushed and Adrien then pulled out the scarf that Marinette made him for his birthday.

"I also still have the scarf that you made me for my birthday; I figured out that you would have given this to me because you have a real talent for designing clothes. How come you didn't tell me that this was your present?"

"I saw how happy you were when you said that your dad finally got you a present that you liked. I just didn't want to disappoint you that day"

Adrien just sat there silently. He was remembering the events that happened with his dad a few hours ago and didn't want think about it anymore.

"Are you ok Adrien?" Marinette asked

"Yeah, I'm fine" Adrien replied


Both Marinette and Adrien were so busy talking that neither of them noticed Plagg secretly using his powers to pass through Adrien's shirt. Plagg flew over to Marinette's purse to meet with Tikki. Plagg then told Tikki to follow him as they used the shadows to go unseen and the used their powers to go through the ground into the sewers where they could talk in private.

"What do you need to tell me Plagg?" asked Tikki

"My owner is going to tell your owner that he is Cat Noir"

"What?!" replied Tikki in shock "He can't do that. Have you tried to convince him otherwise?"

"There's nothing I can do. He figured it out" said Plagg

"Since when?" asked Tikki

"Since last night. After the battle with Dark Hound" replied Plagg

"So that's why Cat Noir was giving advice to her. If he reveals his identity to her she'll be heartbroken and then both of our owners will have to give the Miraculouses back to Master Fu"

"He said the whatever Master Fu doesn't know won't hurt him" Plagg said as he looked away

"That's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard" Tikki yelled in anger "Now because of all this we will lose our owners and Paris will be doomed and in the clutches of Hawkmoth. You said that you might have tried to convince your owner otherwise but you didn't try hard enough you have the right to be called the Kwami of Destruction because your owner will have destroyed everything that we've worked hard for and can never ever be…."

"I SAW NOOROO!" Plagg replied with tears in his eyes. Tikki just stopped speaking and floated in shock as her pupils went small

"What? Nooroo? My brother? How did you see him?"

"It's his dad Tikki. Hawkmoth is my owner's dad" said Plagg

Tikki didn't reply as she was still in shock processing the information that she just heard. Her pupils were still small from the shock and her eyes looked were like Nooroo's which is the reason why they are related.

Listen Sugar cube, Hawkmoth knows who Cat Noir is and it's only gonna be a matter of time until he reveals Cat Noir's identity to Ladybug. It's better that my owner tells her rather than her finding out the hard way"

"We're in a no win situation huh Plagg?" asked Tikki to which Plagg just nodded

"When I saw my owner yell at his father with such disappointment and anger I'd never seen anything like it in all my life. I felt sorry for both my owner and his dad; even though I should feel sorry for his dad after all that he's done"

Tikki just floated over to Plagg and put her hand (or whatever Kwami's have instead of hands) on his shoulder.

"We might have to discuss this later Plagg. We better get back before our owners know that we're missing"

Both Tikki and Plagg floated though the sewer wall and back to the park where they returned to their owners without them noticing.


Marinette and Adrien were still talking about everything they had gone through from the time since they first met to the train trip into space. Adrien then thought to himself that he had to tell Marinette about his secret identity before it was too late.

"Look Marinette, I…."

Just then both Marinette and Adrien looked around as they saw electricity flowing through all the powerlines crackling loudly and their phones started to go crazy. They both look at their phones as a live video message started to play.

"People of Paris I am Electronique and I have taken control of all the electrical systems in your city"

Marinette and Adrien looked in shock as in their minds they both realised that it was Lila and that she was akumatized once again. Marinette got up as she started to run off.

"Wait Marinette" said Adrien "There's something I have to tell you"

"There's no time Adrien I gotta go. We'll have to continue our date later" Marinette replied as she disappeared into the distance.

Adrien ran the other way into an alleyway where Plagg came out of Adrien's shirt.

"I can't believe it!" Adrien screamed in frustration "I was almost about to tell her"

"Well it looks like we have a problem on our hands right now Adrien"

"Yeah your right, I'll have to wait until after Ladybug and I defeat this villain before I tell Marinette about my secret identity. PLAGG CLAWS OUT!" Adrien yelled as he transformed into Cat Noir

Marinette made her way into another alleyway in the distance as Tikki floated out of her purse.

"GOD DAMNIT! Hawkmoth is once again up to his old tricks and he's ruined my dream date. Well Tikki it's time to get down to business. TIKKI SPOTS ON!" yelled Marinette as she transformed into Ladybug

Ladybug used her yo-yo to swing onto the roof of a nearby building to which Cat Noir appeared at seconds later.

"Cat Noir you sure got here quickly" said Ladybug

"Yeah, Electronique's message is being broadcast through the entire city. Within a second I had to find you real quick m'lady"

"Good thinking and good timing Cat Noir. I believe that this villain is someone that we've already beaten before; Lila Rossi. She was both Volpina and Chameleon but now it looks like Hawkmoth gave her new powers"

"Yes it sure looks like her" replied Cat Noir

Just then their devices stared to emit electrical energy as they looked towards the screens of them and saw Electroniques message.

"Ladybug, Cat Noir if you want to find me I'll be waiting for you right here at the TVi studio where I also have something you would really want to see" Electronique said as she moved to the side and revealed that she had Alya, Nino, Chloe, Sabrina, Max, Kim, Alix, Ivan, Mylène, Luka, Juleka, Rose, Nathaniel, Marc and Kagami captured, knocked out and covered in electrical wires.

Ladybug, Cat Noir and the entire city of Paris looked on their monitors in shock at seeing this.

"It wasn't hard to capture all these civilians" Electronique said as somehow she was able to show footage of her capturing each of them while wearing a cloak that covered her whole body

"I really enjoyed capturing these fools. A LOT!" Electronique then grinned menacingly

"How did she even get footage like that?" Cat Noir asked Ladybug

"I don't know. One thing that we've learned about superpowers is that they are so out of this world; they don't always make sense" replied Ladybug


Elsewhere at the Agreste Mansion; Gabriel had just come back out of his lair. He still had tears in his eyes after what Adrien had said to him so he went to the bathroom to wash his face.

"Sir!" yelled a voice from the distance

Gabriel rushed to the staircase and saw Nathalie clutching the stair rail trying so hard to climb the stairs. Gabriel went down to help her up to the top of the staircase and took her into his office.

"Nathalie, what are you doing here?" Gabriel asked as he placed Nathalie on a chair "You should be resting"

Nathalie was in a bad condition due to continuous use of the damaged Peacock Miraculous.

"Your latest akumatized villain has taken control of the TV station and is broadcasting a message to the city"

Gabriel looked at Nathalie with a confused look on his face.

"What akumatized villain?" he asked "I didn't akumatize anyone today"

"Well someone did" Nathalie replied weakly

Gabriel started to think and then stood up.

"I bet I know who it could be" Gabriel said as he walked over to his computer screen and then turned it on to see Electronique's live message

"So Ladybug and Cat Noir I bet you're wondering what my plan could be. Why am I taking and using so much electrical energy. We'll I'll let you know"

Just then Electroniques captured victims started to wake up. They tried to move but the wires were too strong.

"Hey you!" yelled Chloe "I am the Mayors daughter and I demand that you free me from the wires this instant. This is ridiculous, utterly ridiculous"

"Shut up you little brat!" yelled Electronique as responded Chloe in shock and didn't say another word

"Now where was I? Oh yes; the reason why I am doing this is that I am helping a new friend of mine take over the city of Paris and to do that I need electrical energy to bring that person here. I believe my friend want to talk to you. All of you"

Suddenly the screen cut to a completely black screen, no one watching could see anything then the Hawkmoth symbol appeared. Ladybug, Cat Noir, Gabriel and all of Paris looks on wondering what was happening.

"People of Paris in the year 2019" said a completely distorted voice "I am Hawkmoth from the future and I am sending this message to let you know that my coming is near. Soon Electronique will gather enough energy to open a portal to allow me to travel to your time and soon plunge the city of Paris into an eternal dark abyss"

Ladybug and Cat Noir looked at each other with worried looks and then they looked back at the screens on their devices.

"You see; I am not as kind as the Hawkmoth of your time. I am far more sinister, cold, calculating and destructive. The Hawkmoth of your time never wanted to hurt anyone which in turn makes him weak. Unlike him; I have far more power than he'll ever have and I know more. A lot more about him as well as Ladybug, Cat Noir and all your other superheores. Well now it's time that you know who the Hawkmoth of your time really is"

At the Agreste Mansion, Nathalie started to look at Gabriel with concern on her face as Gabriel just watched the monitor.

"The Hawkmoth of your time…. IS GABRIEL AGRESTE!" yelled the future Hawkmoth

Ladybug, Cat Noir, Gabriel and the entire city of Paris all looked at the screens in complete shock with both their eyes and mouths wide open. Every one of Electronique's captured victims looked at each other in disbelief. Electronique had a sinister smile on her face.

"Ladybug, Cat Noir. Gabriel only wanted to obtain your Miraculouses so that he could use its power to make a wish to bring back his loving wife Emilie; who is in a comatose state and kept in a glass chamber in his house"

Gabriel could not believe what he was seeing and hearing. His identity had just been revealed and the entire city now knows about the current whereabouts of his wife.

"So Gabriel, since you are not the Hawkmoth of the future do you want some answers? Do you want to know if you succeed in your mission to bring back your wife? Well you'll know soon enough. Come down to the TVi studio and once I arrive I'll tell you everything. As for you: Ladybug and Cat Noir your destruction with be my first priority. I'll see you all soon"

The feed then cut back to Electronique as she walked closer to the camera. She held up her right hand, electricity crackled all around the metal gauntlet as she clenched her hand into a fist. She looked at the metal gauntlet on her right hand, smirked and then looked right back at the camera.

"It's gonna be a dark day for Paris" she said as she punched to camera, cutting off the feed

Ladybug and Cat Noir look at the screens on their device with nervous looks. Gabriel was left speechless and the city of Paris look on in complete shock as all they saw on the TV screens, computer monitors and phone screens was complete static.
