In Which Several Readers Will Leave the Story Before the After End Credits Scene
"Hello, Chat Noir."
That was not what Adrien was expecting to hear when he got into the small apartment.
"Hello, Chat Noir."
The short elder in front of him was somehow familiar, but he couldn't decide why. That puts him in enormous disadvantage.
"Please, come in."
Worst, around him floated a green kwami. Before he could do anything, Tikki left his pocket and made the introductions.
"Adrien, this is the Great Guardian, Master Fu. And this one is Wayzz. Wayzz, Master Fu, Adrien."
"Ah… pleased to meet you."
"Have a seat, young man. You probably have some questions."
"Tons, actually. But I don't know where to begin. And…" he tries to smile "there is not a favorable history between cats and curiosity."
Master Fu chuckled "You are safe here, Chat Noir."
"Right. What does it mean to be Chat Noir?"
"You are living the answer remarkably well. But, if you need words… the Holder of the Principle of Destruction. The Protector. The One that shows that everything that was, will be again. Rebirth. Resurrection. Reincarnation."
"Pretty much everything with 're', in fact." Added Wayzz.
Master Fu noticed the change in Adrien's posture "Yes, you are more than up for the task. Do not worry."
"But I am not even 15. How can…"
Wayzz whispered to Tikki:
"Sometimes I think Plagg's 'Ignorance is Bliss' approach is the right one."
The red one waved, dismissing the idea:
"Adrien, just keep doing what you are doing and…"
"Hide." Said Wayzz. "Our wanton Cat Kwami is nearing fast"
"Oh, the whole 'secret identity' thing…" but Wayzz was already pushing him into the broom closet.
A minute later, Marinette entered Master Fu's in a hurry.
"Master Fu, I have a situation." And opened her purse.
"In gaelic…"
"Hello, Plagg."
Marinette was in chock seeing Tikki. But Plagg was much more. Decades, decades without seeing each other. Their eyes grew wider. He felt his throat get dry. Tikki was trembling with emotion. They flew a bit closer, before speaking as one:
"Oh, it's you."
Plagg turned back to Marinette.
"In gae…"
"Marinette, I know it's an emergency, but can you give me a few moments with Plagg?" With that, Tikki dragged Plagg to the kitchen.
Alone there, after a moment of silence, Tikki spoke:
"You have a fantastic kitten on hand, Plagg. Well done."
"I like yours, also. Another amazing French girl. This one can be as great as the Big J."
"Greater."
"Most likely."
"Yours' feeling a bit neglected, however."
"I was letting him just play superhero for a while."
"Play? Plagg, both need to be the best they…"
"Sure, they should be both on the same page. So, why don't you slow it down? They're children, Tikki."
"You are underestimating them. Child these days knows much more than an elder 200 years ago."
"My kitten is months old!"
"What?"
"Adrien, Adrien is the mask. Always doing what other expected. Only as Chat he is free. Only as Chat he is discovering who he is. And now you threw everything on him bringing the kid to Fu. Thanks a lot."
Tikki lowered her eyes.
"I always forget your jokes and personality hide how wise you are, Plagg. Forgive me."
"Speaking of the Big J, bonfires still make you cry?"
"Except when you are an inconsiderable jerk on purpose!"
Both chuckled and finally met on a long overdue hug.
That was when Wayzz got into the kitchen
"Not. A. Single. Word" said a frowning Plagg. Wayzz just smiled.
"Let's do it, Marinette. Just stay around the roof for a while."
"I imagine Chat is around somewhere."
The kwamis nodded.
"Right. I will use the time at the roof to try and see Adrien a bit more."
Tikki sighed:
"Plagg, where did you stop the insults?"
"Gaelic."
"Thanks. I will pick up from there later on."
"Please do."
The talk was cut short with a:
"Tikki, spots on!"
After Marinette was gone for some moments, Wayzz turned his attention to the other hero.
"Should Adrien come out of the closet?"
"Eeeeh, the fanbase will collapse, but sure."
Wayzz didn't understood Plagg, but decided not to ask.
Moments later, a happy Chat Noir joined Ladybug on the roof.
"I was afraid I would not see you again, My Lady."
"I am also glad to see you, kitty."
"So… there's a cousin of mine causing trouble. Do you feel like a romantic visit to Vaugirard, My Lady?"
"Dream on about the 'romantic' part, Chat."
Powerful yoyo and staff propelled two excited heroes into action.

Post-credit scene
Chat Noir landed quietly on his room, closing the window and letting himself call on the huge sofa, mumbling "Plagg, claws in" before hitting the soft material.
"So, together again, kid. I missed you."
"Do you have any idea how much I learned in the past few hours, in comparation with months with you?"
"Kid, I wanted you to have your own pace..."
"Still, I think I should know what means to be a Chat Noir."
Plagg sighed. Tikki was right. He can't protect his kitten forever. Even – and he would never admit that – his favorite kitten in centuries.
"You are right, Adrien. Get yourself some RedBull, coffee or whatever. Tonight it's you and me. Ask anything."
As an answer, he felt a finger scratching his head.
"How is Ladybug without a mask?"
He thought about making a cheese joke, but now it was not the time.
"She is fantastic. Smart, sweet… you can – will – do amazing things together."
"What else?"
"Kid, on that you will have to trust me. Better learn and grow together. You two have such a beautiful road ahead – take it a few steps at a time."
"I guess this will have to do, for now. Now, the practical side" He opened his text program and Alya's notebook. "What do you know about farming?"
"From with century?"
Tikki looked at Marinette. She just helped cage a tiger, went home, helped her parents, gave attention to a friend who was narrating the same story she was the protagonist in, and now, late night, was finishing her homework.
"Hey, Tikki?"
"Yes, Marinette?"
"I don't want any clues about his identity, but… how's Chat Noir? For real? Under the mask and flirts?"
"You could not have wished for a better partner. So caring, so eager to help and learn…"
Tikki stopped. Maybe Plagg was right. Maybe Marinette deserved some fun. What would the
Kwami of Destruction say?
"Oh, and another thing." Tikki flew closer to Marinette's ear and whispered "He is extra-cute naked."
"Tikki!" Marinette covered her quickly burning face with her hands, but could not help but laugh.
Laugh like she so deserved after such day.
