School was cancelled for the rest of the day. Michelle and Marinette went home.

"If you don't mind," Michelle had said, "I'll have a shower first."

"Sure, go ahead." Marinette had replied, "I'll just be sitting on the roof."

And so there she was. Sitting up on the roof. She was mostly thinking about what had happened that day, reflecting back on her thoughts.

"I hope we can trust him, Tikki." Marinette murmured, looking at the horizon in the distance.

"I'm sure we can." Tikki responded quietly.

Marinette slammed her hand down on the ground. "Oh Tikki!" she wailed. "I'm a terrible superhero. I've told you so many times, and today just proves it!" She frowned suddenly. "I'm not fit to be Ladybug. I swear. I should give my miraculous back to Master Fu."

"Marinette, no!-"

"I'm going to do it!" She hissed. She started to fidget with her earring. "You just watch me Tikki-"

"Hey Marinette!"

Marinette jumped. She turned around. Spider-Man was standing there.

"Oh. It's you." Marinette snorted.

"How's it going?" He asked, his voice grinning.

"What do you want?"

"Ahh. Straight to the point I see. You really don't waste your time do you? However, I'm honestly quite offended that you think I came over to your home for something other friendly chat between friends-"

"Spidey." Why did she say his nickname?

He threw his hands up in defeat. "Fine! I- I wanted to just wanted to sure make- dammit- I wanted to make sure you're okay. And I also wanted to prove that I do know where you live."

"That's really not something that needs to be proven." Marinette snorted. "And honestly a bit creepy."

"Ahh. Well you see-"

The trapdoor rattled. Marinette heard Michelle's muffled voice.

"Just letting you know that I'm done, Marinette, so you might want to finish up your conversation with whoever it is your talking to."

Spider-Man froze. He waved slightly and leapt off the roof.

Marinette smiled. She opened up the trapdoor and climbed back down into her room.

"Who was that?" Michelle asked.

"The truth? Spider-Man." Marinette mused.

"Seriously?"

"Yep."

"Why?"

"I don't know." Marinette groaned. "He hasn't left me alone today."

Michelle snorted. "Maybe he likes you."

"What?! No!" Marinette exclaimed. "He's just annoying."

"And if it were true," Michelle continued. "It could mean his age is actually pretty similar to ours."

"True." Marinette murmured. "It could give us a clue to his identity I guess."

"Exactly."

Marinette gathered her clothes. "Okay, I'm going to have a shower now. Tell if you need anything." She entered the bathroom and closed the door.

"Have you ever met Ladybug before?" Michelle asked Marinette as they walked to school.

"I've seen her many times, and she has saved me a few times, like many other people in our class. I haven't really spoken to her though." Marinette lied. "Have you met Spider-Man."

"Other than after the Akuma? No. I spoke to him briefly in DC, when he saved my friends while they were in a falling elevator. But I've never spoken to him other than that." Michelle responded, furrowing her eyebrows.

Marinette glanced at Michelle. "Do you have any idea of who he could be?"

"I have my thoughts. - I mean my suspicions." Michelle murmured. "And his voice sounded really familiar. But I'm not one hundred percent sure yet."

Now that I think about it, his voice does sound familiar. Marinette thought. "What about Ladybug? Or Chat Noir?"

"Again, not sure. But seeing as you guys see them a lot, I'm sure if I stay long enough I can figure it out."

Good to know. Marinette thought.

"What about you?"

"Huh?" Marinette echoed.

"Do you know the identity of Ladybug or Chat Noir?"

"Oh. No, I don't really have any suspicions. Just let them have their secret identity, you know? Alya's had her suspicions though. She thought Chloe was Ladybug at one point, but that was proven wrong. And she says that Adrien looks a bit like Chat Noir."

"Adrien?"

"Yeah. She photoshopped the mask and cat ears onto a picture of Adrien, but I don't see it. Chat Noir is way too different to Adrien."

"You think so?"

"Definitely. He was chosen for a music video awhile ago though, he was going to be Chat Noir. Alya pointed out again how similar they looked, but there's no way."

"Was there a Ladybug in the music video?"

"It was going to be Chloe, actually, but then they chose me."

"You?" Michelle echoed, narrowing her eyes thoughtfully.

"Yeah. Honestly I only said yes because I didn't want Chloe to be Ladybug. I wanted to be an extra though, with Alya and the rest of my friends."

"But it sounds like the video never happened?"

"Yeah. Chloe got mad and ruined it, and so the singer got Akumatised. The video was still done, but there was no main Chat Noir or Ladybug anymore." Marinette shrugged.

Michelle's eyes were still narrowed thoughtfully.

"Hey! Don't- don't look at me like that! I've been in the same room as Ladybug before- ask Alya. Besides, have you seen me? I'm way too clumsy." Marinette rambled.

"No, it's not you I'm thinking about." Michelle snorted. "It's more Adrien. It's an interesting idea, that he could be Chat Noir."

"No way. Don't believe it." Marinette replied.

"But why? What? You don't want to believe you're crushing on a superhero?"

"No-! It's just- he's just- Chat Noir is just so... Different to Adrien. Chat Noir is just so- flirty.. I don't know! And besides, Adrien isn't allowed out without his dad's permission. He had to beg him to let him go to school!"

Michelle nodded. "I guess you're right, but I will keep it in mind." She mused. "What about that super villain? Hawkmoth?"

"Hawkmoth?"

"Yeah. Do you have any ideas on who he could be?"

"Well, to be honest I thought it could be Adrien's father, Gabriel Agreste. But then he was Akumatised, so there's no way he could be Hawkmoth."

"True." Michelle frowned.

Their conversation drew to a close as they walked up the steps of the school.

Marinette spotted Alya and they walked over to her to say hello.
