Ben and Donovan stood on the balcony, the wind was howling and the moon was full "so...Donovan, kinda boring isn't it?" Donovan responded snarkily "coming from Ben, how generic is that?" Ben scoffed and looked out towards the moon, without looking at Donovan he asked "why did you choose me?" Donovan sighed "y'know, I asked my master the same thing when I got to ask him questions, and the answer is the same one he gave me, you're good, there are not a lot of truly good people in the world, but those who are, get rewarded" Ben leaned on the balcony "doesn't really seem like a reward when my face is getting pounded into ground up beef" Donovan sighed "yeah, the hero gig ain't easy" Ben asked more "so you were a Miraculous holder?" Donovan nodded "yes, a long time ago, in Paris" Ben looked at him "you were a part of the Parisian League of Superheroes?" Donovan nodded "yup, before the bad times" Ben looked down "Cat Noir, it was on every news station, I was only 5 when it happened" Donovan looked at him "I saw it happen" Ben then asked "what did happen?"

Donovan leaned on the balcony aswell "the mission was simple, the plan was to get the Butterfly Miraculous from the new owner, Gabriel Agreste had been imprisoned years before so we needed to know who this new one was, we infiltrated her lair and managed to get to her, but we didn't know was that she had leverage, she had kidnapped a poor girl's mother and had the place rigged to explode with the push of a button if we tried anything. I was so eager to finish this mission I rushed in, I tried to call her bluff but this time she was telling the truth and she pressed it with no hesitation. It happened so fast I could barely react, that was when Cat Noir pushed me out of the way and saved my life, he tried to save the mother but he couldn't and both were caught in the blast." Donovan got a little choked up "if I hadn't gotten in the way..." Ben looked down "then Ladybug disappeared" Donovan shook his body and continued "yes, she pulled the woman's body out of the rubble and broke down right in front of us, it was the first time someone had died under her protection and she didn't take it well, she left and now there are very few of the League left, I came here so that I could defend this city, it was the least I could do since I couldn't defend my own".

Ben got up from the balcony "so, what's next?" Donovan smiled "you have a day off tomorrow considering the renovations at your school, training will begin at 7:00 AM" Ben sighed "waking up that early defeats the purpose of the day off" Donovan laughes "you really do remind me of Cat Noir, you've got his wit" Ben smiled "oh wait, I have something" he pulled out the Miraculous he took from Skiz and Johnny "what are these? They're like Miraculous but...not" Donovan picked one up and studied it "hm, seems to be some sort of Pseudo-Miraculous, I'll take them and hide them so they won't fall into the wrong hands again". Ben sighed "well, that's a dead end on what these things are, we've got a big fight ahead of us" Donovan agreed "the work of a hero is never over" Ben felt a gust of wind and just like that Donovan was gone.

Ben woke up the next morning to a knock at his bedroom door, he groaned and got up to see who it was, he opened the door to see his dad standing there "your friends are here to see you" Ben groaned and got dressed, he sauntered to the front door and opened it to see his friends but they weren't moving, he closed the door behind him and all of them suddenly poofed into smoke and there stood Donovan "illusions, one of the many powers of some Miraculous" Ben sighed "okay so, what's first?" Donovan thought for a second and snapped his fingers "combat training" Ben's face lit up "cool!" Ben and Donovan made their way to a rooftop and Donovan turned around "Transform" Ben shrugged "Sturnn, Let's Hu-" Donovan suddenly tripped Ben before he could finish "ow" Donovan helped him up "you must learn to be faster, no time for theatrics, people can get hurt in those precious few seconds" Ben nodded "right" he breathed in and got ready. Donovan rushed "Prowwl, Let's Hunt" Ben said as fast as he could and transformed on the spot grabbing Donovan and lifting him over his head "how's that?" Donovan laughed "perfect".

Beowulf did stretches in preperation for the next exercise "okay hero, make sure to stretch before doing any kind of saving the day, you don't wanna pull anything in the middle of the action" Beowulf finished and asked "okay, what's next?" Donovan crossed his arms "we play tag" Beowulf was visibly confused when Donovan pulled out a Bolo Tie and put it on his neck, suddenly a Kwami came out of it, the Kwami was black and had two big horns on the side of its head and a pinkish snout "Boggo, we've got a student finally" Boggo was very excited "alright! Let's run him into the ground!" Donovan looked at Boggo disappointedly "what I meant to say is, let's run him into a valuable lesson" Donovan sighed and shouted "Boggo, Rampage!" Boggo was sucked into the Miraculous and Donovan transformed, his costume was black and brown latex, there was clear padding in the chest area to signify muscle tone, he had a mask that wrapped around his head with two small white horns sticking out of either side. Beowulf looked amazed "whoa, what is your Superhero name?" Donovan thought "Steer".

Beowulf and Steer stared eachother down "you won't be able to catch me" Steer stated with Beowulf remarking "we'll see" Steer suddenly charged and Beowulf barely had time to jump over him "hey! Isn't the point of tag to run away from who's 'it'?" Steer stopped charging and said "no one ever said I had to run away, why don't I just maul you? Then there won't be anyone to be 'it'" Beowulf then uttered "yikes" and began to run as Steer charged after him, both of them jumped across rooftops. Beowulf suddenly got an idea and jumped off the edge of a building, Steer peered over the edge while Beowulf hid beneath the jutted ledge of the building, he heard Steer move away and felt relieved, that's when Steer's hand came down and grabbed him. Steer lifted him up and said "not really good at hiding are you?" a voice from behind Steer commented "fooled you" the Beowulf in Steer's hand evaporated and Beowulf tagged Steer's shoulder "impressive use of your powers" Beowulf felt cocky "thanks, looks like I really am a prodigy huh?".

Steer turned around and said "next exercise, combat training" he took a swing at Beowulf but the strike was easily avoided. Beowulf put his fists up as did Steer "remember, your enemies won't fight fair, they'll throw dirt in your eyes and, they'll cheap shot, they'll even lie to save their own skin so be prepared for anything" Steer suddenly kicked up some dust and Beowulf swiped it away only to get hit with a roundhouse kick that sent him sprawling "responding to a distraction is what they're looking for, look past it" Beowulf nodded and got back up "right" Steer kicked up more dust and Beowulf responded with a sweep kick that took Steer off his feet and onto the ground "nice, taking advantage of me being off balance" Beowulf smirked beneath his mask. Steer winced in pain and grabbed his ankle, Beowulf rushed over to see what was wrong "it's nothing, just old wounds, you can see why I personally can't do this kind of job" Steer de-transformed and gave Boggo a piece of celery "you've got skills kid, not like me, I always had a partner to help me along the way, you're alone on the field" Beowulf thought about it "well, since I'm alone out there I won't have any distractions" Donovan sighed "you've got the right thinking, but don't let that kind of thinking seep into your life as Benjamin Williams".

Beowulf de-transformed and sat on the edge of the building "I need to find out where these Supervillains are coming from" Donovan agreed "I can help do some digging but I don't know what I can do" Beowulf suddenly had a realization "Skiz was a murderer that was bailed out of prison by someone, and Johnny was a boxer in it with the loan sharks, it must be a hierarchy of some kind and there must be a boss that distributes these things, if I can find this boss then I cango after him and get him to talk" Donovan cautioned Ben "you're on the right track, but don't rush into this, if you find him out, don't just go after him when you do because chances are if he has these Pseudo Miraculous, he probably has some real ones of his own" Ben nodded "right, gather information, then bust him when I'm ready" Ben picked up the sound of glass breaking and an alarm going off "robbery, maybe I can gather some info right now" Ben transformed and lept off the building and mad his way towards the sound with Donovan whispering to himself "be careful".
