Marinette's P.O.V. ~
We went upstairs to our home. Maman and Papa sat down with us in the living room. I pulled out a copy of the DNA test results I had printed out.
"Remember when I went missing for a few hours?" I asked them. They nodded.
"We were so worried about you, honey!" Maman claimed. I smiled.
"And remember the video from the Ladyblog about me falling down in the middle of the air?" The hesitantly nodded.
"Does she know?" Papa asked.
"Yes, I told her. She is LadyLuck. She came to sing at our class reunion," I explained.
"We noticed that we looked really similar, and sounded nearly the same," Madelynn added.
"I remembered that I had lost a twin sister at birth, so we went afterward to the doctor's office to take a DNA test. And…" I handed over the results, "These are the results." Their eyes widened.
"I do seem to remember Mayor Bourgeois was in the hospital, Chloe was due the same week as you but didn't come until a few weeks later. I wonder if he did something," Papa claimed.
"He might've. He likes to abuse his power as Mayor and has been since before you guys were born," Maman thought, before turning to my sister. "I am so happy you're alive! We were devastated when we heard we lost you, and your LadyLuck?! You and your sister are very into the Lady title," Maman teased, pulling us into a hug. Papa wrapped his arms around the three of us. When we pulled away from each other, we went and sat at the table while Maman pulled out some sandwiches.
"Thanks, I might need the energy to deal with Adrien," Marinette claimed.
"Oh, you're going training? Let me guess, Madelynn is staying here?"
"No, Papa, she is coming with. Alya and Nino received miraculouses. We're making sure they are ready for an Akuma attack. I left Adrien in charge of training them, and you know him well enough that he probably won't stay on task," Marinette explained.
"Wait, hold up, did you say, Adrien? I thought we were going to train with Cat Noir? And Alya and Nino have miraculouses?" Madelynn questioned. Tikki flew out of her pocket.
"Of course!" She replied.
"Huh," Madelynn said.
"Hello, Tikki!"
"Hello, Mr. Dupain and Mrs. Cheng!" Tikki greeted.
"No need to call us that Tikki. You protect our daughter, you can just call us Tom and Sabine," Tom claimed. Madelynn told her family everything that she had gone through in her life. Looking over at the daughter she raised, Sabine noticed something.
"Minou, your hair is longer!" Sabine exclaimed moving over to examine Marinette's hair.
"It is! When we met yesterday it was just reaching your shoulders, now it's nearly at your elbows!" Madelynn added, reaching over to stroke Marinette's hair.
"Hey!" Marinette pulled away from her mother and sister.
"How did it grow overnight?" Tom asked.
"Uh, we went to visit Master Fu, the Guardian of the Miraculouses. He needed to pass the title onto someone else, he chose me. After the whole ceremony, he passed away. We had to go home so we all transformed, Nino for his first time as Carapace, Alya into Rena Rouge, and Adrien and I into our alter egos. Uh, my costume changed too. Ladybug also has a braid instead of tails. It actually might be easier to show you," Marinette claimed.
"Show us!" Madelynn exclaimed excitedly. She, Sabine and Tom looked at Marinette expectedly. Glancing over at Tikki, Marinette sighed.
"How about when we're about to leave, don't want to drain Tikki's powers too early," Marinette suggested.
"Compromise?" Tikki added.
"Sure, but give us a few minutes before so we can fuss over your new outfit," Sabine said. Marinette giggled, shaking her head in amusement.
"Of course." So soon they finished their sandwiches and Sabine backed a box of pastries for us teens and little bags of treats for the Kwamiis. Chocolate chip cookies for Tikki, camembert for Plagg, caramel squares for Trixx, and quiche for Wayzz. Sabine put the box and bags into a bigger bag, to help carry when jumping on the rooftops, and handed the bag to Madelynn.
"Okay, Mari, show us Ladybug's new look," Madelynn said, placing her gold LadyLuck mask on her face.
"Nice mask!" Sabine complemented.
"Yeah, it's the upgraded one. I received it after getting Ms. Bennett as a talent agent. Before I just used a cloth that had eye holes and wrapped it around my head," LadyLuck explained. The three turned to face Marinette.
"Ready?" Marinette sighed. They nodded. Marinette looked over at Tikki who just shrugged. "Tikki, spots on," With that, Marinette transformed into Ladybug.
"Oooh! Nice new look!" LadyLuck exclaimed. "Sorry if I copy it for a new video or for the upcoming Eiffel Tower concert."
"Oh you are my sister...you have more rights than Adrien," Ladybug said winking at LadyLuck, who giggled.
"We're confused," Sabine claimed, gesturing to Tom and herself.
"Uh, inside joke. This morning Madelynn told Adrien off when he tried to keep her out and protect me with the idea that she is the reason I ran off and I got injured. Which one is untrue and two he has no proof to justify his claim," Ladybug explained. Her parents laughed.
"So we better get going. Need to make sure we can get Rena Rouge and Carapace trained and Cat Noir isn't usually on task for very long," LadyLuck claimed. They said goodbye to their parents and made their way to the balcony. Ladybug wrapped an arm around her sister's waist and yoyoed off the balcony.
Running rooftop to rooftop, Ladybug carried LadyLuck bridal style all the way to where she saw her teammates just chatting. She set LadyLuck down a roof away.
"So...you're just chit-chatting? Not training? Wow, totally predictable," Ladybug called out to her teammates. They all looked up at her surprised.
"M-M'lady!" Cat Noir stuttered. Ladybug picked up LadyLuck and jumped over to them. Ladybug placed her sister on the rooftop before walking over to Cat Noir.
"Why weren't you training?" Ladybug asked Cat Noir, getting in his face. He gulped. "Kitty?"
"I...uh...um...I-I'm sorry I...got...distracted. Why is LadyLuck here?" Cat Noir asked, furrowing his brows under his mask.
"I brought her. Is there going to be a problem?" Ladybug asked in a way that Cat Noir knew he needed to answer this properly or he might end up pushed off the roof without his staff.
"No, there isn't and there won't be," He said through clenched teeth.
"Good kitty," Ladybug said, kissing him on the lips with a satisfied smirk. She turned to the new crew. "Alright, Rena Rouge, come to the middle into a fighting stance please," Ladybug guided. Rena did as Ladybug asked, who followed in suit. They circled one another before Rena lunged at Ladybug, who blocked the attack by dropping with a leg extended before spinning and knocking the fox over.
"Oof!" Rena Rouge groaned. Ladybug got up and extended a hand over to her best friend. Once she was up, Rena went over to the others.
"Here kitty kitty," Ladybug called smugly. Cat Noir walked over and the two got into fighting stances and started to circle each other. Soon, they finished sparring. Ladybug went on to train Rena Rouge and Carapace. This went on for hours before LadyLuck felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. Pulling it out of her pocket, LadyLuck noticed that she had received a message from Ms. Bennett.
Ms. Bennett: Where are you at Ms. Spots?
Ms. Bennett: Why are you not in your hotel room?
Ms. Bennett: Answer me!
Ms. Bennett: We need to prepare you for the concert next week!
LadyLuck: I may have found my birth parents and I apparently have a twin sister so I hope you don't mind that I am hanging out with her to get to know her AND I am probably going to stay with her tonight. Apologies. I will be at rehearsal tomorrow after lunch. Thanks!
"Who was that? A boy?" LadyLuck looked up to see Rena and Ladybug looking at her with a teasing smirk plastered on both of their faces. LadyLuck sighed.
"No, my manager. She is upset because I didn't tell her I was leaving the hotel and that I was skipping rehearsal for next week's Eiffel Tower concert," LadyLuck explained.
"Well we were going to the Agreste Mansion if you want to come," Ladybug explained.
"Do you really think that Señor Agreste will allow me to? He seems to not like me," LadyLuck asked.
"Adrien? Nah he is really just a big softy. He really cares about Marinette," Rena Rouge explained with a chuckle before gasping. "Did I just spill the beans of who is behind the mask? I mean you said Agreste Mansion but that could mean anything!"
"Relax Al, I told her back at the bakery who we all were," Ladybug claimed. Rena Rouge sighed in relief. Ladybug turned to her sister. "You can come. Señor Kitty won't mind. I mean he will, but I can easily convince him."
"Really, sweet!"
"Warning he might place you in a guest room. Nino and I already sleep in one most of the time we are over. Adrien and Mari both sleep in his room on his bed. But that mansion has so many guest bedrooms it isn't even funny," Rena Rouge explained.
"Well, I need sleepwear and clothing for tomorrow," LadyLuck claimed.
"We can stop by your hotel room. Balcony door unlocked?" Ladybug asked. Her sister nodded. "Well let's go!" Picking her sister up bridal style, Ladybug ran across rooftops to the Grand Paris Hotel with Rena Rouge following close behind. Finding her room, they landed on the balcony. Ladybug and Rena waited outside while LadyLuck collected her things.
"Why is Adrien acting so cold towards your sister?" Rena Rouge asked.
"I don't know," Ladybug sighed. They leaned against the balcony railing, looking out across their beloved city. "He just is, and I don't know why or how to change it. He wasn't cold to us when we first met. I was cold to him but that was because I thought he stuck gum on my seat. But he was kind to me, you, Nino and the rest of our classmates."
"Well, hopefully, he'll warm up to Madelynn. She is your sister after all. Even though you two just met after being apart for 23 years, Adrien needs to get the sibling seal of approval from Madelynn. I bet he thought he got out of that when we all thought you were an only child," Rena Rouge explained with a giggle. Ladybug giggled a bit.
"Too bad kitty."
"I'm ready," The superheroines turned around to the balcony doors to see LadyLuck with a gold and black spotted bag that had LadyLuck embroidered on the front and back of the bag.
"Well let's go!" Rena Rouge exclaimed.
"Ring Nino, give him a heads up about Madelynn and have him not tell Adrien," Ladybug requested Rena Rouge, who widely grinned before calling Carapace with the calling notes on her flute. Ladybug picked up LadyLuck after the call was finished.
"Can you carry her bag please?" Ladybug asked Rena Rouge.
"Sure," Rena answered, picking up the bag before following Ladybug all the way to the mansion.
With the boys ~
"Who was that?" Adrien asked Nino. They had de-transformed half an hour before Nino received a call on his cell. After the call, Nino had been smirking.
"No one you need to know about," Nino claimed.
"Oh okay," Adrien said before adding "Shouldn't the girls be back already?"
As if on cue, the girls flew in through the open window of Adrien's bedroom and landed on the floor with grace. They turned and the owner of said bedroom narrowed his eyes at the guest. Nino just smirked in amusement.
"Why is she here?" Adrien asked as the two girls de-transformed. Alya and Madelynn rolled their eyes, smirking in a similar manner as Nino. Marinette just giggled before walking up to the cat.
"If it helps, we come bearing pastries," Marinette said, gesturing to Madelynn who was holding the bag from earlier.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?!" Nino exclaimed heading to take the bag.
"You got macaroons right?" Alya asked.
"Eclairs?" Nino asked. Marinette nodded before turning to Adrien.
"Macaroons, eclairs, croissants, and treats for the Kwamiis. Oh! By the way, Madelynn knows that we are all superheroes," Marinette explained before turning to the bag and pulling out a smaller bag. "Tikki, Plagg, Trixx, Wayzz, I have something for you!" Marinette called. All four came out and fell into line. Marinette pulled out a cookie for Tikki, a piece of camembert for Plagg, a caramel square for Trixx and the quiche for Wayzz before leaving the bag open for the Kwamiis to snack out of.
