Here we go, time to get started on Chapter 4!

It is 11:00 P.M. in Avery's hometown.

Reporter: Moving along, 15 year-old Avery Bourgeois went missing today. I have some exclusive interviews with family, teachers, and friends here for you. The clip is shown of the Reporter interviewing Evelyn

Evelyn: (crying) I don't know what went wrong, Avery was always a sweet, sensitive girl, she's never done anything like this before that I know of, but recently she's been acting very strange and secretive, and I hear her talking to someone in her room who isn't really there. I try to help her but she won't let me. And now I have no idea where she is. She could be anywhere within an hour from here by now.

Avery is watching the news report on her phone, sitting on the park bench.

Avery: (sheds tear) Mom.

Reporter: When did you notice she started to act this way?

Evelyn: After she got back from Paris. We have family that lives there, and during her visit she befriended some other kids her age, one of them I suspect she has feelings for. I really didn't trust them, but I hoped she would never meet with them again once she got back, but one of them invited her to a party in San Fransokyo, and when I went to pick her up, she had dyed her hair green and she was getting kinda touchy with the boy who invited her over. Wait, maybe that's where she went!

Reporter: We have a lead on this mystery, the girl is possibly in San Fransokyo with her boyfriend.

Evelyn: I wouldn't say that, romantic interest is more like it.

Reporter: Next up we have one of her teachers, Mr. Brown. So, we understand you gave the girl a detention today.

Evelyn: Wait, she got a DETENTION!?

Reporter: Ma'am, the interview is over.

Mr. Brown: Yes, I did give Avery a detention today, her very first, she was really upset about it, but I had no choice. She continued to disrupt the class after I asked her to stop, and she showed up ten minutes late to class.

Reporter: Interesting. I assume she cares deeply about her school reputation.

Jewel: She does! I'm Jewel, Avery's friend.

Avery: Friend? What kind of sick joke is this? That brat hasn't said anything nice to me since the first day I met her!

Reporter: Jewel, what do you know about this situation. Any leads?

Jewel: I can understand why she ran away, the poor girl really has it bad. 15 and pregnant, ouch.

Avery: Oh, she is so dead!

Jewel: Avery has always been a little off, no one wanted to be her friend because she has this rare mental disease, but I promised to always stand by her no matter what. She hallucinates all the time, she's convinced she's an animal, and when her so-called "sweetheart" Hiro was spending some quality time with her, she was totally clueless. But understand that if she does rip your head off when you try to approach her, don't consider her a criminal, she's just sick, sicker than sick.

Avery: How could she say that stuff about me on T.V.? That's it, I'm ruined!

Evelyn: Please, this can't be true!

Jewel: I'm so sorry she didn't tell you, but don't worry, you did nothing wrong in raising your daughter, she was born the way she is, it's not your fault she didn't tell you, but please know that I'll always love her like a sister, no matter what happens.

Avery: Don't listen to her, mom.

Evelyn: Thank you, but I just...I never thought anything like this would happen.

Reporter: I'm sorry, Ms. Bourgeois, but it seems as if your daughter won't be coming home with you once she is located, she must be taken into immediate treatment.

Back to real-time.

Reporter: Here is a picture of the girl in question, if you see her, call 9-1-1 immediately, she is considered dangerous.

Avery turns off her phone.

Avery: I can't believe Jewel would do something this low, and my mom actually believed that garbage!

Peeka: You aren't safe here anymore, you have to go into hiding.

Avery: Hiro was right, I should've never run away, this is all my fault. I wouldn't be one of America's Most Wanted Freaks if I had just sucked it up and dealt with the teasing. I really am a wimp.

Peeka: You're not a wimp, you're a superhero, and I know you can go back home soon and knock Jewel right off her throne, but for now, it's too risky to go out there.

Avery: I need to find someone who hasn't seen the report, and even if they did, they know Jewel was lying.

Peeka: Um, duh, Hiro?

Avery: He said he didn't want me staying in the garage, besides, that's the first place someone would look for me.

Peeka: Right, Jewel's sneaky. Where can you stay, then?

Fred: Avery! There you are! C'mon Baymax, she's ok!

Avery: Did you see the news?

Fred: No, who watches the news?

Baymax: Recent reports. (a picture of the Reporter next to a picture of Avery appears)

Avery: I don't need to see it again, I'll explain everything later. Fred, you don't happen to have a spare room at your place?

Fred: Yeah, there's plenty of room for visitors, why?

Avery: I'm on the run from the law, I can't risk being out in the daylight anymore, I need to go undercover until everyone eventually moves on and forgets about me.

Fred: I...don't follow.

Avery: Can I stay at your place for a while? You know, secretly? I mean, our friends can know, but, no one else.

Fred: Well, my parents are away on the family island, and I kind of told them I wouldn't invite anyone overnight...

Avery: Please? If I don't find some method of hiding, I'll be locked up in a padded room! And no, I'm not joking.

Fred: Whoa, so this is really serious then?

Avery: If you can see the terror in my eyes, then you know that I desperately need you right now, so much that I can't even go home to my own mother.

Fred: Baymax, go home and tell the guys she's ok, come on, let's go to my place before the sun comes up.

Fred and Avery exit on the left, Baymax exits on the right. Ladybug and Cat Noir emerge through the portal into Hiro's garage.

Ladybug: What happened? It's the middle of the night, what's the big emergency?

Hiro: Avery ran away and came to live out on the streets of San Fransokyo. Don't worry, she's with Fred now, but look at this news report on her disappearance. (pulls up report on computer and pauses on Jewel) This girl claims she's on of Avery's friends, and that the reason she ran away is because she has a severe mental illness, and that I got her pregnant.

Cat Noir: But that's not true.

Hiro: Doesn't matter, people believe her. But there's something else going on here and I need to find out what it is.

Cat Noir: I feel like I've seen that girl before, wait, what's that picture on her shirt?

Tadashi: It looks like a flower.

Cat Noir: Zoom in.

Hiro zooms in on the flower, then makes the image clear.

Cat Noir: It's not a flower, it's a pink ninja throwing star. That's it, I need to see what she's up to!

Ladybug: I'm coming with you.

Cat Noir: No, your costume is bright red, it won't blend into the dark, she'll see you. Besides, this won't take long.

Hiro: Ok, are you sure about this? I mean, what if she's just a jerk, and not actually evil?

Cat Noir: I remember seeing two girls with that symbol on their shirts the day my mom went missing, and both of them gave me a dirty look when I passed them. I haven't seen that symbol ever since then, until now. There has to be a connection.

Tadashi: Ok, I have the coordinates for her house here, you ready?

Cat Noir: Yes.

Cat Noir falls on top of a bush. He stands up and quickly crouches behind it as Jewel approaches her house. She enters. Cat Noir sneaks closer and inches to the door, he listens.

Jewel: So, did you see it?

Chris: Yeah, impressive, and no one suspects a thing.

Jewel: Exactly, now the whole town is going nuts, so they won't even notice when we leave.

Chris: Ha, Avery didn't just doom herself, she doomed everyone.

Jewel: Yep, now all we have to do is take the private jet to Stardust, and we'll finally become full-fledged members of the underworld!

Chris: And we won't fail at getting the Miraculouses, unlike our moms who were easily talked out of it by that irritating little insect, Patricia.

Cat Noir: (gasp)

Jewel: Come on, let's hit that island...wait, did something move out there?

Chris: It's probably just a squirrel, don't lose you head like Avery, let's get going.

They exit. Cat Noir watches them in horror. Blackout. Back in the garage, Adrien is telling Hiro, Marinette, Tadashi, and Baymax what happened.

Adrien: I knew it, Jewel descended from the villains who took my mom! And now she's going to follow in their footsteps on some island called Stardust with some guy!

Marinette: Whoa, well, we have to find her, and stop them from getting our Miraculouses, the peacock pin is already missing. But where is this "Stardust?"

Baymax: Searching for: "Stardust Island." No results found.

Adrien: There has to be a way, I have to find my mom!

Marinette: And we will, but we'll need help.

Adrien: From who?

In Paris, Butterfly and Volpina are running across the roofs of buildings. They run into Ladybug, Cat Noir, and Hiro.

Butterfly: Ahh! I didn't expect to see you here.

Ladybug: Don't worry about it. How would you two like to go on a secret international mission?

Volpina: Really? Us?

Cat Noir: Yep, with the fates of the Miraculouses on the line, it's gonna take all of us.

Paon: That's why I'm joining you guys.

Cat Noir: Paon?

Paon: Sure, let's go with that! Only one problem, I'm new to this whole superhero thing, I don't think I'm ready.

Volpina: Hey, we're new at this too, there's nothing to worry about, but, you'll help train us, right?

Hiro: Of course! We weren't just gonna take you to an uncharted island without training!

Butterfly: Ok, where do we start?

Ladybug: San Fransokyo.

Fred and Avery enter the mansion.

Fred: I know it's nothing special, but...

Avery: Are you kidding? This place is incredible! It's even bigger than my dad's hotel!

Fred: I guess I'll give you a tour. Here's the main hall, and in here is command central! My dad is a retired superhero, I guess that's why I love comics so much!

Avery: Awesome!

Fred: And this is my room.

Avery: Whoa, now this is one epic room! I thought Marinette's was cool, but, wow!

Fred: And, the spare room. I'm really not supposed to be in here, why exactly do you need to go into hiding, anyway?

Avery: There's this awful girl from my school, Jewel, she's always made fun of me since I was a kid. When I ran away, a news reporter was interviewing people who were close to me. Jewel pretended to be my friend and told everyone that I'm a pregnant mental case teen nightmare. She's always been mean to me, but she's never done anything like this. Now I can't even go home to my mom and forget this ever happened, because everyone believed her lies and if I'm seen in public, I'll be locked up in a mental hospital. That girl ruined my life and she doesn't even care.

Fred: Avery, I'm so sorry that happened to you. I understand how you feel. People gave me a hard time in high school, but trust me, it gets easier.

Avery: It's too late, the damage is already done, Jewel wins, as always.

Fred: You know, when I was your age, I was kind of a geek. Hard to believe, I know. The other kids thought I was crazy, and it really hurt to be hated by almost everyone in my grade, but then I made friends who helped me through it. Wasabi, Gogo, Honey Lemon, they were always there for me, just like how your friends support you. And by the end of junior year, everyone laid off, and we went to college and met Tadashi, and everything worked out fine, and I'm sure we can solve this for you too. It isn't all your fault. Don't take all the blame for what happened, you wouldn't have run away if it weren't for your classmates tormenting you.

Avery: You're right, it's not all my fault. I know we can fix this.

Fred: You wanna know how I relieve stress?

Avery: Sure.

They enter the next room, which has a karaoke machine in it.

Avery: This just keeps getting better!

Fred: Pick a song!

Avery scrolls through the list.

Avery: Let's see here, no, too overdone, ugh, not XY, nope, nah, I always listen to this song, no, oh! I haven't listened to this one in a while! (selects "Wildfire.")

Fred: Excellent choice, one of my favorites!

Track 04: Wildfire

Wildfire:

Fred:

I was dry, broken down, could barely feel my heart, just lying in the dark.


Avery:

Lightning bolt to the ground, you made an ember glow, it only took a spark.

Avery:

Both:

Now it feels, like my walls are melting down, like a force of nature now, like my walls are melting down!

Fred:

In the garage, Ladybug and Cat Noir are demonstrating some martial arts moves for the new heroes.

Ladybug:

Steady hands, level head, it all abandons me, I only feel your heat.

Cat Noir:

I only feel your heat.

Ladybug:

White hot, burning red, who knew that letting go, would make me so complete?

Cat Noir:

Would make me so, so.

Paon:

Now it feels!

Volpina:

It feels!

Paon:

Like my walls are melting down!

Volpina:

Walls are melting down!

Paon:

Like a force of nature now!

Volpina:

Hiro:

Burning up my soul!

Back in Fred's mansion.

Avery:

Whoa.

Fred:

Whoa.

Avery:

Somehow you're burning away my doubt.

Fred:

Somehow you're burning away my doubt.

Avery:

Whoa-oh.

Fred:

Whoa-oh.

Avery:

And now I'm yours 'til the flames are out.

Fred:

And now I'm yours 'til the flames are out.

Avery:

Oh whoa!

Fred:

Oh whoa!

Avery:

I'm powerless in the blazing light!

Fred:

I'm powerless in the blazing light!

All:

Only you can prevent the fire we're starting tonight!

Cat Noir:

It's burning out of control, love like I've never known! Lighting us up tonight!

Paon:

Boys:

Wildfire! Whoa-oh-oh!

Girls:

You're burning up my soul!

Boys:

Burning up my soul!

All:

Like a wildfire! Like a wildfire! You're burning up my soul!

Paon: So, how'd we do?

Ladybug: Uh, great!

Cat Noir: Fine!

Hiro: Eh...

Volpina: I guess we still need to learn more about our specific powers.

Ladybug: Hmm, I don't really know what your powers are, except for Butterfly, apparently you can turn normal civilians into superheroes.

Butterfly: Really? Ha, I have the power to make friends, I'm a real social butterfly!

Cat Noir: You've cat to be kitten me right meow!

Hiro: Ladybug, make them stop.

Ladybug: Trust me, I've tried.

Annnd... we're done! See you soon!
