Yet again, I was going to upload this sooner but family things got in the way so everything got delayed by like a day and a half so I do apologise for keeping you waiting a little longer than I promised, it's just I have a life and I have so many other things I'm working on right now.

If you know me on DeviantART then you'd understand. If not, here's the short story. I'm working on two comics, this story and another story, as well as drawing Equestria Girl characters. Mind you, I have drawn Ladybug a few times, and I have drawn the ships twice. I plan on doing more fan-art too so if you're on DeviantART, try to find me ^^ the link to my page is on my FanFiction profile ;)

Anyways, left a lot of things unsaid in the last Chapter didn't I? I'm pretty sure you guys are waiting for the full reaction from Marinette about him liking Ladybug and all. Well, here it is for you! :D

Enjoy Chapter 7 of Revelations! ^^

Miraculous Ladybug (C) Thomas Astruc/Zagtoon

Chapter 7 – Another Attack

"I can't tell you." Marinette muttered, looking down.

Alya placed her hands on her hips in frustration; she couldn't believe that Marinette wouldn't tell her what Adrien told him. Her eye twitched as she asked more questions as to why she wouldn't say.

"It's not your concern, Alya. I'll take care of it."

Those words coming out of Marinette's mouth only made Alya's confusion rise to fury and impatience, she wanted to know more than ever what he told her. But, seeing how content Marinette was while giving a serious face to her, she could tell that she had it under control. So, taking a deep breath, she looked away and smiled lightly at her.

"Okay, but I am here for you." Alya assured her, resting a hand on Marinette's shoulder in support.

After school, Marinette walked home alone, still dumbfounded by what Adrien told her. Her eye twitched as she walked, Tikki was calling out to her but Marinette wasn't responding. She was thinking of when he could've started liking her, and she wondered how this could have happened. Millions and millions of thoughts ran through her head that made her almost come to a complete stop when she was only a few feet away from her house.

"Marinette!" Tikki cried. "Could you listen to me?"

Marinette shook her head violently as she grabbed the hair on both sides of her head in stress and the feeling of being startled by something.

Tikki sighed. "Look, I know this is very shocking for you, but let's just get inside first."

The navy haired girl nodded silently, taking in a deep breath before she entered the bakery to see her mother at the cashier, she shot a shy grin and a wave to her mother as she walked on by, and when she saw her father she used the same gesture before going upstairs to her room.

Falling onto her bed, she stared at the ceiling, the millions of thoughts still rushing through her head. She hadn't given any verbal response to Adrien's confession yet because of Alya and for the fact that she didn't know what to say about it. It was utterly shocking and Ladybug was definitely one of the last people she was expecting him to like aside from Chloe.

The real question was how did Adrien have feelings for Ladybug when he's barely been around her?

It made her brain cogs go wild with intense thought as she tried to think of any possible time for her as Ladybug to interact with Adrien. She can only remember one time, and there was only eye contact and nothing else in that situation.

She thought it was a fan-girl crush at first, but seeing the dreamy look in Adrien's eyes made her think otherwise. All Marinette wanted to do was scream excitedly and cry in pain, having a double life was way too difficult for her to handle.

"I hate this! Why can't he like the real me!?" Marinette cried.

Tikki flew up next to Marinette's head. "Both you and Ladybug are the real you, you need to accept that Marinette." Tikki exclaimed.

Marinette sighed and sat up, seeing the poster she was holding onto a little while ago of Adrien. She smiled and a light shade of pink spread across her cheeks. Adrien liked her, the problem was it was Ladybug who he had feelings for and not for Marinette.

"If only I could show him who the real me is." She started to say, but then realised how that would turn out. "But I bet he wouldn't be expecting Ladybug to be me of all people, little clumsy and stuttering Marinette..." She frowned, getting up from her bed and sitting at her desk, leaving the poster on the bed.

Tikki perched herself on top of Marinette's computer with a smile of assurance. "Don't worry; I'm sure there's a solution to all of this." She assured before frowning. "Revealing yourself is very risky, I'm not sure if it's such a good idea to do that in front of your crush." She added.

The navy haired teen looked down and sighed as she nodded at her kwami. "I guess you're right, but now I don't know what to do! He loves Ladybug, but I'm Ladybug and I love him but he loves Ladybug and..." She cried, groaning at the end as she leaned her head against her chair, looking at the ceiling.

"Oh Marinette, I know you'll figure everything out in the end, you just need to stay positive." Tikki stated with a gleaming smile.

Marinette looked up at her kwami and smiled, glad that Tikki was always there to make her feel better, just like Alya was.

She still didn't understand why Adrien had feelings for Ladybug when Marinette knows for certain that they've only shared eye contact for a few seconds and that was it, there had to be another way around it but she just could figure it out, she groaned as she fell face first into her pillow, wanting to know why he liked her alter ego, yet at the same time she wanted to bounce with joy that he did like her, just not the half that liked him back and was desperately trying to show her affections to him.

Now that he knew about her feelings, he was still willing to admit he loved someone else which was in fact her alter ego. It just didn't make any sense, Marinette tried to sleep on it but she grew so frustrated, there was no possible way for Adrien to like Ladybug in that way unless he had known her personally.

The only person that would come remotely close to having constant interactions with Ladybug was Chat Noir, but Marinette seriously doubted that Chat Noir and Adrien was the same person. They were way too different, she knew Adrien as being reserved and kind, while Chat was making puns after every turn and constantly flirting with her. Their personalities differed so much, although they were both blonde she could never think of Adrien wearing a cat suit and flirting with her when she was Ladybug, it was too unrealistic for her to even imagine.

Meanwhile, Adrien was on his computer finishing his homework when Plagg couldn't stop talking about how shocked Marinette was when he told her about his feelings towards Ladybug.

"I just can't believe you worked up the courage to do that, even when you knew that she liked you, you still broke her heart!" Plagg exclaimed humorously as he ate a piece of cheese.

Adrien glared at his kwami, feeling insulted by Plagg's word. "Look, I told her the truth and that's that." He said in a serious tone, turning his head back to his computer.

Plagg rolled his eyes. "You are so clueless; did you see the look on her face when you told her the truth? She was absolutely gobsmacked by your feelings towards Ladybug!" He cackled in laughter.

The blonde growled at his kwami, knowing that he wouldn't help in this situation, but he was grateful that Plagg's idea actually worked; usually most of his ideas didn't and would get the two of them in trouble with the possibility of revealing Chat Noir's secret identity.

"Can't we talk about this later? I've really gotta get this done before tomorrow!" Adrien snapped, gesturing to his computer, which had an open document with half a page written.

"Fine..." He moaned.

Then it was Friday, the last day of school for yet another week. Most students were excited for Friday; meanwhile Marinette and Adrien just had so many thoughts fizzling in their minds. Marinette thought constantly about why Adrien had feelings for Ladybug, while Adrien had been thinking about for a few days now whether Ladybug likes this Adrien or someone else.

It was 7am, about an hour and a half before school started. Adrien woke up to a scream heard from outside his room, his upper body immediately bent up straight as he looked at the door, hearing running and things falling. He wanted to go out and see, but feared that there might be a fight going on and if he were to intervene things would get worse.

So he rushed to the door and kneeled down to peek through the key hole of the door. He saw a young woman beautifully dressed creating dresses with the flick of a large needle and thread, but the thing was that these dresses came to life, and they were attacking Nathalie.

"Plagg, wake up!" He whispered harshly to his kwami.

His kwami was peacefully snoring on the edge of Adrien's pillow, up until Adrien rushed over and flung the pillow off the bed, making Plagg emit a small squeal before he bumped himself against the wall.

"What?" Plagg groaned.

"Claws out!"

Plagg tried to get away, because he was too sleepy to even do this at time of the morning, but like every other time he didn't want to, Plagg was sucked into Adrien's ring which transformed him into Cat Noir.

He escaped through a window and climbed down, he didn't want Nathalie seeing Chat coming from Adrien's room, and it would be quite suspicious for a super hero to be walking out of his bedroom. He lifted his staff and scanned his house, zooming in through a window he could see the akumatised victim, her dress the longest kind he has ever seen, and to confirm that she was indeed akumatised, Hawkmoth's signature mask over the eyes was seen.

Chat thought about calling Ladybug, but at the same time he was worried whether she was even awake yet. He knew for one thing that it was 7am and the sun was shining brightly, but he knew nothing about her personal life so he didn't know whether she was even sleeping right now or not.

And the only thing he knew about Ladybug was for the fact that he liked a guy named Adrien, whom he wasn't sure was him or someone else. He wanted to know more than ever if it was him or someone else, even if it wasn't him at least he knows.

Then, he heard Ladybug from behind. Chat turned and noticed that there was a trail of destruction the led to the Agreste Mansion. Ladybug landed by his side and placed her hands firmly on her hips.

"So, what are we dealing with this early in the morning?" She asked, opening her yoyo to look inside.

Chat snickered, knowing that they have been up way earlier in the morning to deal with an akumatised victim.

"You mean our second earliest?" He corrected with a wink as he leaned in a little.

Ladybug pushed him away slightly. "Not now kitty, what's going on here? The destruction leads directly into the Agreste Mansion." She stated, pointing towards the front doors of the mansion.

The cat widened his eyes in surprise. "You know this place?" He asked, without realising that it was a silly question.

She snickered in response and poked his nose. "Of course I do silly; it's where the famous fashion designer Gabriel Agreste lives. Now, how are we going to get inside?"

Chat wanted to suggest to Ladybug whether it was the Adrien that lived here was the one she liked, but saw that she was too focused on getting the akuma and fixing up all the destruction.

"There's a way." He implied, pointing to his window.

Ladybug widened her eyes after she examined closely what was in that room; it was no doubt that it was Adrien's room, it made her blush a light tinge of red. She grabbed her yoyo and flung herself towards the window and waiting for Chat Noir, also trying really hard to not examine all of Adrien's room.

As soon as Chat Nor arrived, he opened the window he had escaped from earlier and snuck in, gesturing Ladybug to follow. She climbed in and couldn't help but look around Adrien's room in thought and wonder of where he could be.

"You do realise that this is trespassing? What if Adrien- uh I mean Gabriel's son is in the bathroom or something?" Ladybug asked, with a ting of blush in her cheeks.

Chat bit his lower lip in nervousness; he should've seen the question coming. "Oh, well last time I checked he was on his way to school already." He explained nervously.

Before saying anything else, she thought about it, Marinette didn't think Adrien would leave so early for school, especially since he gets a private ride to school and it doesn't take long to get there. She decided not to over think it and simply nodded in reply.

They both then heard a crash sound coming from outside the room; the duo dashed to the door and leaned their ears against the door, hearing every detail to make out exactly what was going on.

"I am the greatest fashion designer in all of Paris. How dare Gabriel Agreste disgrace my name!" The akumatised victim cried.

Ladybug and Chat Noir had the same expression of slight shock on their face.

"She's after Mr Agreste!" Ladybug cried in a whisper.

Chat Noir kept a serious face on, he was thinking of a plan. Although initially he wanted Ladybug to come so she could think of something up but whenever she was around she gave him confidence.

"I have a plan; I'll go protect Da- Mr Agreste, while you find a way to cleanse the akuma." He instructed, opening the door slightly, looking around.

"Do you even know where to go?" Ladybug asked, raising an eyebrow as her hands rested firmly on her hips.

Stuttering a little to figure out the right words to say without blowing his secret identity, he looked at Ladybug with a sheepish smile. "Did you know that I'm actually good friends with Mr Agreste's son Adrien?" He said, shooting a guilty grin back at her.

Ladybug's eyes went wide, Adrien knew Chat Noir personally? She remembered back when Nathanael got akumatised and at school where Adrien asked about Chat. She guessed he wasn't lying about it, but she was still surprised to hear it.

Before Ladybug could say anything else, Chat was racing across the room on all fours while the akumatised victim was in another room. She saw him go up the stairs and turn a right, and then he disappeared. She huffed a puff of air through her nose before looking over to the other room where the akumatised victim was. The first thing she noticed was her amazing long dress; she began to adore the design as her creative mind came into play. This was a woman she could relate to on a certain level, but the meantime, she was currently their enemy and she had to find the akuma fast.

From a distance she analysed the victim, she couldn't see anything on her that would look like an object the akuma would touch first. She had no choice but to get her attention and then try to find the object, but by then she would be battling her.

The fashion designer was about to spin her needle around to create another dress that would come to life, Ladybug wrapped the string from her yoyo around her arm and yanked her backwards. It was then that the object in which the akuma had possessed was obvious.

"I need to get her long needle." She whispered to herself, while still having the woman wrapped up in her yoyo.

The woman broke free using her needle, and then glaring angrily at the young black spotted girl that stood only a few feet away from her.

"You're going to pay for that!"

Meanwhile, Chat had made his way all the way up the stairs and had a brief look at the time, it was half past seven, he had to hurry otherwise he would be later for school.

Despite hating his father for not letting him be free and have a happy life, he still cared for his father and as a respective hero he had no choice but to protect Gabriel, even if he was his mean and strict father.

The first thing he did before entering his father's office was knock, as he would always do as Adrien when he was summoned. There was no response. He knocked again but still no response. So Chat opened the door to see that his father was nowhere in the room to be seen. This caused Chat to panic anxiously as he realised he could've been too late.

"Father?" He called out, not caring that he was Chat Noir. "Where are you?"

Chat searched the entire room but Gabriel was nowhere to be seen.

Hmm...am I hinting at something towards the end there with Adrien's Dad? Well unfortunately you guys will have to wait a few days for the next Chapter ;D Also after watching the most recent episode, I thought throwing in a parallel with the parents like Marinette did when she was Ladybug at the bakery with her parents. ^^

Well once again, thank you all for your reviews/favourites/follows. This is only the beginning! :D
