"Okay people, do you know why I gathered you here?" Zack said to his kwami.
"No, we don't know why he brought us here. We live here all the time and in principle we are not human." Labag said, a little confused.
"Labag, that's just an expression." Said Halub.
"Okay, let's move on." Said Zack. "Since I left London, I can't train anymore. I can't transform outside of my heroic duties and to tell you the truth, it's not very good. Because I was used to transforming and training my skills at some point in the day. That's why I gathered you here to decide where our new hiding place will be."
"Wait, before you practice your miracle skills with Halub?" Labag said curiously.
"Yes, Labag. I used to live in London and we had a secret hiding place where I trained with the miracle worker and I would say it had good results, but now I am here and I don't have such a hiding place in Paris. I can't practice my skills with the miraculous, what results I will have." Zack said.
"Why don't you train with the miraculous here." Labag asked.
"Because if I go out disguised as a superhero, I will create suspicion and maybe someone will accidentally see me and lose my secret identity. That's why we created such a secret hiding place where we could practice and sometimes reunite with Madame Butterfly." Said Zack.
"Will you only ask Madame Butterfly for help in finding a secret hiding place?" Hawk asked.
"I don't know yet. I haven't decided what to do with the ladybug and the black cat, but one thing is clear, we must first point out the necessary things that the hideout must have. The first and most important thing to have is to be difficult to access so that only superheroes can enter..." Zack said.
"My master, I have an idea." Labag interrupted.
"Yes Labag, and I told you not to call me master. I have a name. My name is Zack." Said Zack.
"I can open a portal to another dimension where you can train safely and no one will be able to see you and it's hard to reach." Said Labag.
"Yes, Labag, your idea is good, but you missed something. Only I can enter this dimension, while others do not, and I cannot open this dimension every day. The other problem is that we all have a civilian life and it is impossible to understand each other when to get together." Zack answered
"Sorry about that." Labag said, bowing his head in embarrassment.
"You don't have to apologize." Zack said to reassure Labag. "You try to help by giving ideas, that's the most important thing.
Labag looked up, his expression no longer sad.
"Now let's move on. As I said, the first point is to be difficult to access. The second point is to be big enough to accommodate us all. However, we want to train there and we will need at least half a football field and at least a few meters high. I can fly now and therefore I will have to develop this skill. The other hideout in London, Madame Butterfly, was constantly flying left and right, telling how beautiful the world was from a bird's eye view. Now I can fly too, although before that it was also interesting to jump as much as a residential building. The third and most important point is to be relatively close to our homes. These are the main points we will follow to find this place where we can train." Zack finished with the enumeration.
"I believe we can do it, Zack." Halub said and looked at the clock that showed it was time to patrol. "We'd better hurry up or miss the patrol, and Madame Butterfly will be very angry with you for not coming to the meeting on time."
"I'll be fine, but first I have to tell my parents I'm leaving." Said Zack.
"It's still weird to me. When I was with the other owners, none of them said they lived that way." Casa Labag.
"Yeah, it was weird for me at first, but you're going to get used to it, and that's kind of nice because his parents know and support him to be a better person." Halub said, agreeing with Labag.
"That's why you're right Halub. I've never had such a loving environment before." Said Labag.
"Okay people enough talk, let's go." Zack said and left the room to tell his mother he was going on patrol. He would carefully check the food he would take on patrol and make sure there was nothing special and anything he brought could be bought from anywhere.
When he was in the living room, his mother was waiting for him along with the prepared food to take to the patrol.
"Zack, this is for your partner. I hope you appreciate it, and I know you can't say it was done by your mother, but I'm sure one day you'll think about it and want to reveal your identity to each other." Zack's mother said.
"Mom, we've already talked about it. There's no way I can reveal my identity, and I'm only doing it because I took she for granted and I didn't care that she might have problems in her civilian life. So I want to make her feel better. " Zack said and I took the food from my mother.
"Okay Zack, have a nice trip and get back in time." His mother said and went to bed.
"Okay. Labag and Halub, double transformation." Zack said and began to transform into a white owl.
Zack looked around and felt the energy flowing in his veins. He knew he had much more power now than when he had been with only one miracle , but he knew that in order to reach his full potential he had to find this secret hiding place where he could train. He opened the window of his apartment and looked around to see if there was anyone to see him, and when he realized that there was no such danger, he flew away and headed for his meeting with Madame Butterfly, which was to take place at the top of the Eiffel Tower.
Zack admired this new sight from a bird's eye view. Not just to jump very high but to actually fly. He had heard stories from Madame Butterfly many times about how good it was to watch the city from a great height, but he never understood what she meant. But now he understands that what she said really could not be described in words, but you really have to experience and feel it.
Along the way, he wondered where to start looking for such a secret place to train, but he had no idea. He knew he would need the ladybug's help, but he knew it was a little risky because they weren't quite sure yet if she trusted him. Because Zack had become very strong in the very short time he had been in Paris and the fact that he had managed to travel through time and get a pigeon miracle. He managed to reveal many unprecedented opportunities.
He often browsed Alya's blog, where she covered all the news of the akuma's attacks. Zack had watched the show where he was with Nadia, and she was commenting on what happened at the Louvre. Alya compared him to the fact that he could be equal in strength to the ladybug, because he could purify the akuma and repair the damage it had done. Still, he didn't feel stronger than her, even though they were very similar. However, he did not like to be compared to other miraculous, because he knew that with enough practice and skills, everyone can win, and what kind of miraculous you have does not matter.
Alya and some other journalists kept asking him and Madame Butterfly for an interview, but he kept refusing and wondered why Madame Butterfly did not accept at least one of them, but this did not bother him because it was her choice whether to give an interview or not.
He reached the Eiffel Tower, which shone with its bright lights against the backdrop of beautiful Paris. He landed on top and saw that Madame Butterfly had just arrived.
"It's good that you can now fly and you can arrive much faster, because you don't have to think about where you have to land when you're jumping." Madame Butterfly said.
"Thank you, Madame Butterfly." The white owl said, not sure if what she said was a compliment or not. He handed the bag of food and said. "I bought this for the two of us to share our food while we're on patrol."
"Oh, that's so kind of you." Madame Butterfly said in a sweet tone and blushed slightly.
"Madame Butterfly, before we begin the patrol, I want to talk to you about something important." The white owl said very seriously.
"Did something go wrong?" Madame Butterfly asked, a little worried.
"Nothing went wrong and you have nothing to worry about. I just want to discuss one thing." Said the White Owl.
"Okay, what do you want us to discuss." Madame Butterfly said.
"Look, we're in Paris relatively recently. It's only been a few days and in those few days I've noticed that we're missing something here. This thing is our secret hiding place that we had in London, where we trained and gathered. So I thought we could get together and find a secret place where we could train and meet again here in Paris, "said the White Owl.
At first the white owl did not know why Madame Butterfly stopped moving and froze in place, but then she hugged him tightly and said in a happy voice. "Yes, yes, I will help you find a secret place where we can train and meet as we did in London, and of course I will do it so that it is a little more comfortable for us."
"Okay, now you can let me go. I seriously can't breathe." Said the white owl
"Sorry." Madame Butterfly said. "I was just so excited because I couldn't help myself."
"Okay, let's get back to the patrol now." Said the white owl.
"Wait a minute. Will the ladybug and the black cat be involved in finding a secret hiding place?" Madame Butterfly asked.
"A secret place, suits me." Said the black cat that came out of nowhere. "And what is it about."
"The situation is that before we came here to Paris with Madame Butterfly, we had a secret place where we practiced and practiced our skills with miracle." Said the white owl.
"Yes, we used to gather there very often." Madame Butterfly said in a flirtatious voice.
"I want to say that we used this secret hiding place to improve our skills with miracle. So we can stay transformed for much longer after using our special abilities." Explain the white owl.
"Your civilian life may work for you, but we are too busy with our civilian life to do such a thing." Said the ladybug who appeared at the meeting.
"This is a fact." Madame Butterfly agreed. "But you can still go to this hideout during the patrol and practice."
"Madame butterfly is a right, the ladybug. I also have a very busy civilian life, but I still manage to attend these patrols." Said the black cat.
"I understand that you do not have so much free time, but we can do it at night during the patrol in just a few hours. Madame Butterfly and I have achieved a lot with our miracle thanks to these trainings and you see that we can endure more long after we use our special abilities. " Said the white owl.
"It really is." The ladybug agreed with the white owl. "But I don't know if that will work."
"Come on, my lady, they're right. We really don't spend much time training our strengths, we just fight the bad guys. Just imagine what we can do if we have a little practice with our miracle." Said the black cat.
"You may be right cat, but I'll think about it." The ladybug answered.
"That's what I want to hear, the ladybug. You've kept Paris longer than us, and you probably know this city better than we do, and you can find a suitable hiding place faster." Madame Butterfly said.
"We will try to do it." The black cat said with a smile.
"Okay, so we got along. We need to start looking for a place to train. But now let's get back to patrolling." Said the ladybug.
"Well, I'll tell you what parameters our hiding place should have. The first thing is to be difficult to access so that ordinary people can't find it. The second thing is to be big enough to be able to train freely. The third thing is to be to be able to get to it quickly." Said White owl.
"White owl, I'm for the creation of our secret hiding place." Said the black cat and smiled at his ladybug.
"And it won't be a secret hiding place, it will be a place for training." The ladybug said, slightly annoyed by the black cat.
The night passed quickly and our heroes returned home.
The ladybug returned to her home and transformed back into her civilian version. She see the clock read 5 o'clock, but that didn't bother her at all. Because it was Saturday and there was no school and her parents allowed her to sleep late. So she just lay down on her bed and fell asleep.
At 11:00, Marinette woke up. She remembered very well the conversation she had during the patrol and was angry with herself, so she just put both hands on her face to hide from everyone.
"What do I have, Marinette? Has anything happened?" Tiki asked, a little worried about her owner.
"Nothing bad happened Tiki, I just did something terrible." Marinette said, not daring to look at Tiki.
"What happened, come on, you can tell me." Tiki said, trying to calm Marinet down and see what happened during the patrol.
"Okay Tiki, look, during the patrol, the white owl and Madame Butterfly offered to find a secret hiding place where we could practice our skills with the miracle workers." Mariten said.
"And why is this a problem?" Tiki asked.
Marinette realized, and she knew there was no reason for it to be a problem. "I don't know, Tiki. I've just been very worried lately."
"You have nothing to worry about, Marinette." Tiki said
"But I still do. I'm worried about the white owl." Marinette said.
"Why?" Tiki asked.
"Look at Tiki. The white owl is the strongest hero I've ever met. You told me his strength is equal to mine and I still don't know what his intentions are. I couldn't have had many conversations with him." Marinette said.
"Marinette, you have a good heart and I'm sure you will do great things for people and for you." Tiki said to encourage his owner.
Marinette was very flattered by the compliments Tiki was giving her, even though she didn't know what she had done to deserve them. Suddenly an idea came to her mind. She knew where she could find such a secret place to gather, and it was in the canals of Paris.
The ladybug told the others where they could find a secret hiding place. They were in the sewers in Paris.
"Do we really have to go to a place like this." Madame Butterfly said and she couldn't stand the unpleasant smell.
"I'm sorry about the bad smell. We are constantly hiding here when we have stronger enemies and we are considering a way to stop them. That's why we are used to such a smell." Said the Ladybug
"Ladybug is a real madam butterfly, we'll get used to the smell. The other place wasn't very pleasant either." Said the White Owl. He could withstand the unpleasant smell, because his civilian version helped with a lot of dirty work. His holidays in Bulgaria often turned into helping a car mechanic change the oil and tires of car while he was in town, and when he was in the countryside he cleaned up after the animals and dug a garden.
"All right, follow me." The ladybug said and wanted to show everyone what she had found.
After a few minutes of walking, which seemed like an eternity to some because he wanted to get out of this awful place as quickly as possible. The ladybug reached a double large door, and when she opened it, a somewhat good view unfolded. There was a huge space the size of half a football field and high enough for you to fly somewhat freely.
"This is amazing." The white owl said excitedly as he surveyed the place.
"Okay, despite the unpleasant smell, but I'll get used to it. The ladybug, where did you find this place?" Madame Butterfly asked.
"Like I said, the Black Cat and I often hide in these canals, and I came across this place while we were hiding." The Ladybug answered.
The white owl managed to fly with the help of his cloak. He could fly very well and didn't worry about hitting the wall.
"The place is perfect for training." The white owl said and landed on the ground. "I'm very happy with the place and I think we will achieve a lot."
