WARNING: I love fluff
4. In the beginning
Gustav's Eiffel Apartment
The second Alterna vanished from the apartment, was when a suphocating panic swept in like a heatwave even though winter wasn't far away. The heroes sprang into action, looking for an escape route. The windows had iron burglar bars, so they ran to the only other exit.
10... 9...
"Quick, the door!"
8... 7... 6...
"It's locked."
5... 4... 3...
Ladybug and Chat both gave the door a hard roundhouse kick. It didn't budge. They looked at each other. Their Miraculous beeped loudly. Ladybug swallowed hard. It was no use. This was really it. Their eyes were drawn to the TV screen that continued its countdown.
2... 1... 0...
The TV screen displayed a title reading 'Miraculous Origins part 1 & 2.' It switched to a scene showing a brief history.
Origins
Centuries before now, magical jewels were created granting fabulous powers.
The Miraculous.
Throughout history, heroes used these jewels for the good of humanity.
There exists two Miraculous more powerful than the others. The Ladybug's earings, granting the powers of creation. And the black cat's ring, granting the powers of destruction.
Legend says the one who controls these two jewels simultaneously will obtain absolute power.
Gustav's Eiffel Apartment
The scene changes to Papillon's hideout, he is caressing the butterfly Miraculous brooch that is holding a photo of Emilie Agreste.
Chat gasped and rushed to kneal in front of the TV that magically paused itself for his convenience. Though it didn't effect the screens other Parisians were watching from. His clawed finger gently traced the photo displayed on the screen, "Mom! Why does Papillon have a photo of my mother?!"
Ladybug stared at his leather-clad form with wide eyes. She knew who that woman in the picture was.
"That's your mother?" No way. Her mind ran a mile a minute. Trying to piece together the two halfs that she now suspected possibly made one whole of the most amazing person in her life, "Adrien?"
Chat's kitty ears pulled back flat on his head and his tail dropped to the floor. He slowly turned around to face her. His acid green cat eyes, so different from Adrien's human forest green, regarded her with the same vulnerability she often saw in herself.
He didn't have to say anything. At that moment, she just knew that her kitty and the boy she was in love with were one and the same.
It made all the sense and no sense at all. He scratched the back of his head and gave her a shy smile that was just so 'Adrien' that it left her speechless and all she could do was blink and stare at him with parted lips.
Chat took a deep breath, "Plagg, detransforme moi." He said.
A flash of electric green illuminated the room for three seconds.
And there stood Adrien Agreste.
Ladybug made a high pitched strangled noise, hid her face with her hands and sank down to her knees like her legs were big stones dropped into the Seine. Every suggestive situation that they've been in together as partners flew through her mind. Gods, she kissed him.
Worried, Adrien went to her and knelt down in front of her. He reached out with his hand but was hesitant to touch her. "My Lady, are you okay?"
She didn't respond.
His face fell along with his heart. What if she didn't like that he was Adrien? That certainly hasn't happened to him before. He was well aware of how much of a catch he was considered based on his career and last name. But maybe he was a bit too presumptuous to assume she would find him more attractive once she knew who he was. His lady wasn't like that. She didn't automatically like someone just because of their looks or station in life. To her, he was only her crime-fighting partner. He shook his head of negative thoughts and focused on her well-being.
"My lady, say something." He pleaded.
Ladybug pulled her hands away from her face. She peeked up at him through her lashes and her cheeks reddened when she saw how close he was. Just as she was about to answer, her earings gave their last warning beep and her transformation dropped like a bucket of ice water over her head with a pink flash.
Adrien's lips parted breathlessly, an intense unknown emotion shined in his eyes. It was like all this time, his vision was a fogged window when it came to her identity and someone took a sponge and wiped it clean. "Marinette, you're Ladybug."
She swallowed hard as she took in the reaction on his handsome face and gave him a small smile while praying that she wouldn't pass out, "H—Hey Adrien, surprise?"
'Surprise?' Was she serious? Marinette mentally winced and slapped herself in the face. That's the best she could come up with for their monumental moment?!
Adrien snickered before breaking out in chortles, his expression bright with mirth as he looked at her with kitten eyes.
That laugh, Marinette's countenance softened and she sighed dreamily, she loves that laugh. Marinette found herself finally having the confidence to do what she always wanted whenever she heard that angelic laugh.
She reached out, wrapped her arms around his waist and pressed her cheek against his warm chest. Marinette could hear the beat of his heart and it did wonders to cool her frazzled nerves.
Adrien was sure that if he was Chat, he would be purring in utter satisfaction. He hugged her back as tight as he dared.
"Adrien?"
"Yes?"
"I'm glad you're my kitty."
But their moment was not to last. A demon's voice filled the room from the TV and stole their attention.
Origins
"I want this absolute power, Nooroo. I want these two Miraculous." Papillon's dark voice demanded.
"But Master, no one knows where they are." The butterfly Kwami said.
"I still found you Nooroo. This Miraculous which you are bound to, remind me what it allows one to do."
"The butterfly's brooch allows you to give superpowers to someone and to make them your champion." Nooroo explained.
"And when you need to attract superheroes, what's more efficient that creating supervillians?"
"But, Master, the Miraculous aren't supposed to be used to do evil." Nooroo said aghast.
"I need this absolute power!" Papillon raised his voice and stomped his foot, "Your Miraculous is in my possession! I am therefore your Master! You owe me obedience."
Intimidated, Nooroo shivered with fear and bowed his head submissively. "Very well, Master, at your service."
Papillon's silhouette attached the Miraculous brooch to his shirt collar. "Let the night's wings unfold. Nooroo, transforme moi." Nooroo is forced to fuse with Papillon. The camera circles around Papillon showing everyone what the villain of Paris looks like. His figure was illuminated with purple sunlight in the pitch black room.
An evil bone chilling laugh fills the air.
Outside Eiffel Tower
Outside the Eiffel Tower, the people of Paris watch enraptured by what they were being shown. Millenials on their smart phones and every other person with access to the internet in Paris was tuned in on the Ladyblog
The echo of voices could be heard from every group that crowded together as they expressed their opinions openly both in person and on social media.
There was a certain group of teenagers gathered by the Eiffel Tower. Among them stood Alya and Nino.
"It's not your fault," Nino said, trying to ease Alya's guilt, "I'm sure that even if your blog never existed, the Akuma would have still found a another way to do the same thing."
"Nino, did you see the look on Ladybug's face when she answered Nadja? We totally let her down! I'm all for getting juicy deets but this is going too far." Alya bit her thumbnail, "I can't even stop this. Alterna changed my admin previleges. How did she do that?"
"Oh stop your whining," Chloe waltzed up to them, "so what if everyone knows her identity? When this is over, Ladybug and I will be the best of friends." she flipped her hair.
Alya rolled her eyes. As if.

Here is the first part of the Origins. Sorry to leave you guys on such a cliffhanger, but if I wrote everything it would be too much. It's easier for me to write better in pieces like this.
