At the park, the four greeted each other, Alya still gleeful at seeing the pair hand in hand, commenting to Nino how stupid they were for not realising sooner.

Marinette and Adrien were nervous, looking to each other and to their friends. They had decided the best way to do this was to do it quickly.

"Alya, Nino...we need your help." Marinette started, her grip tightening around Adrien's hand.

"Ominous, ok... what do you red us to do?" Alya squinting suspiciously, peering at them through her glasses.

Marinette held out the familiar boxes, Alya and Nino had seen before. Their eyes widening at the scene in front of them. Looking from the boxes to Marinette and Adrien, to each other, back to the boxes.

"WHAT! Marinette Dupain-Chang do you mean to tell me you're-"

"Keep it down Alya!" Adrien had a warning tone in his hushed voice. "We're..."

"HE KNEW BEFORE ME!" Her attention now turning to the blonde.

"Alya! Babe, I think they both have a secret..." putting his hand on Alya's shoulder, Nino tried to help his friends as they seemed to be rather terrible at this. Adrien rubbed the back of his neck nervously. Marinette took her chance.

"Shit's gone down, we're Ladybug and Chat Noir, we might have a lead on Hawkmoth, we need you guys to watch over us in case it's a trap," she didn't stop. "We will be as us now, so need you as these-" holding up the Miraculous'. "-I wanted to tell you Alya-"

"But you couldn't," Alya understood, her expression softened as she nodded. The feeling of betrayal had been replaced by admiration, and the four heroes stood for a moment in realisation.

"...so you need us to follow you, as you follow your Kwami, who are following the pull of Hawkmoth's Kwami." Nino summed up the plan Adrien and Marinette had laid out to them.

"Yes." Confirmed Marinette.

"Girl this is exciting!" Alya looked like she would burst if she was poked as she squealed.

"It's going to be dangerous." Adrien reminded them, he was still sceptical about this plan. He trusted Marinette and if anyone could make this work, it was her.

Once Nino and Alya had transformed, the four of them set off across Paris following the pull of Nooroo. They went down side streets, doubled back on themselves and meandered until the came to the front of one particular residence.

"Master! I can sense other Kwami!" Nooroo's eyes widened, fearful of the possibilities that faced them. "They're close."

"Nooroo I need to protect my son, we need to leave." Gabriel stood up from his chair, a bright circle appeared in front of him and out stepped a new hero he had never seen before.

"Mr Agreste, I am Bunnix." The white and turquoise clad heroine began. "What you're doing is admirable, which is why I am here to limit to fall out of what will come."

He went to speak, but Bunnix cut him off. "Time is a precious thing and I'm concerned that I am already too late in my interception." She tapped her chin in thought. "My apologies, I am still new to this." Without any further explanation, Bunnix dragged a very confused Gabriel, followed by Nooroo, into the portal of which she had emerged.

Nooroo approached Bunnix in the portal, while Gabriel was gazing around in wonder.

"Bunnix, what is your plan?" They squeaked with concern.

"I don't know, I panicked and came out at the wrong time." She peered over at Gabriel. "I have seen what will happen and I can not let it go down that way. People get hurt and I need to stop it."

"Why have you not gone to the guardian?" Nooroo asked Bunnix while Gabriel watched the exchange.

"I did, but it didn't pan out as I expected." Bunnix was scanning the screens in front of her, "time is delicate, and I can not mess this up again."

"Bunnix, what happened?" Gabriel asked.

"Death."

Bunnix stopped as she knew that divulging too much information would have consequences. "It was not intentional, it was an accident but someone dies and I need to prevent it."

Gabriel was shocked at this information that had been set out in front of him. Seeing his shock and concerned face Bunnix felt another detail was to be divulged.

"It was not you Mr Agreste."

"Oh my!" Gabriel was wondering what had happened but he dare not ask. It could have been Adrien for all he knew. Nooroo had sensed the presence of other Kwami when they had been in the house. "What are our options Bunnix," he asked with genuine want to assist. "I want to make up for my actions in the past."

"There is a chance Mr Agreste..." Bunnix started while looking for a particular moment in time. "You will have to show your identity," she looked at him with a smile, "but do not worry Sir I will be with you to explain things." She went back to the screen "I am just looking for a moment which is appropriate for this purpose, I am still figuring out my plan."

Happy Easter everyone! I sincerely hope you are staying as safe as possible, and are in good health.

I hope you like the story so far.

Stay safe!
