Episode 1: Guess Who's Back?

Emma pushed the fruit around on her plate with a sigh. She wasn't ready, not by a long shot, not for school. She glanced over at Louis and Hugo. They were sitting at the bar with her as her grandparents stood across from them in the kitchen.

Hugo was chatting their ears off about anything he could think of. For example, he had already gotten Emma to agree to play video game this afternoon, granted he finished his homework, and to take him to the park this weekend to play soccer.

Louis though had been overall silent. He had barely spoken at all around her and honestly? She wasn't sure if this was just how he was or not. Can she really comment on his behavior and say it's weird? She barely knew her younger brothers anymore.

Hell, you could barely tell they were siblings. While Emma and Hugo share similar facial features and skin tone, Emma and Louis shared next to no features. Louis took heavily after their mother with her black hair, blue eyes, and overall more asain features. Emma looked more like her father honestly especially with her green eyes.

The teenage girl tried to engage in the conversation Hugo was having about the bakery their grandparents ran down stairs but started spacing out again as she didn't honestly remember much about baking and glanced at the TV in the living room that was on the news taking a sip of her orange juice while doing it.

Her eyes went wide at the story. She reached to grab the remote from the table and turned the volume up.

"Emma? What-"

"Shhh!"

"Don't be bemused, it's just the news! Nadja Chamack, here. Tragedy has struck again in our city of paris. Another our heroes has fallen. Viperion is in critical care has he was defeated earlier this morning after responding to a fire. Viperion, now revealed a local musician named Luka Couffaine, based on reports was defeated by a villian wielding the recently stolen monkey Miraculous. This now makes the 8th stolen Miraculous. While Rena Rogue and Carapace have stated they are handling the situation, the public is growing quite concerned. Especially with the continued absence of Ladybug and Cat Noir."

Emma stared at the picture of the man on the tv. He looked familiar…

"Uncle Luka is Viperion?!" Hugo cried in shock as Sabine left the room in a hurry. Probably to called Luka's mother.

Oh, right. Luka is Uncle Luka, he was a friend of their parents.

"Was," Louis finally said something, "That's the 8th one…"

The middle Agreste stood up and grabbed his bag and left the room heading down the stairs. It took a minute for it to register he did as Emma continued looking at the screen at the heroes that had lost their Miraculouses, actually they all looked familiar.

Tom put some cheese danishes on the table and looked at Emma then the empty seat next to her, "Wasn't Louis going to show you the way to school?"

The girl blinked and jumped up throwing her bag over her shoulder and grabbing a danish, "Crap! Louis!" and raced out the room.

…..

Emma grumpling walked down the sidewalk to the Lycée she couldn't believe Louis ditched her.

"If your not going to finish the danish I want it."

Emma jumped almost dropping said danish. No...He didn't…

The teenager looked inside her hoodie, and chilling their in the inner hidden pocket was Plagg. Emma quickly ducked into a nook near an alley and hissed at him, "Plagg! I told you to stay at home."

"No way am I staying in that boring place!" The kwami whined, " Especially after hearing that news report! What if something happens and you need my help!"

Emma pinched her nose as her breathing picked up. Breathe , she chanted to herself, breathe. Dr. Chad said just breathe through the panic it's fine. It's fine. Finally the girl calmed down and gave the rest of the danish to Plagg.

"Stay out of trouble."

"No promises, Kid. Black cats are suppose to be unlucky."

…..

Emma finally arrived at the school, she leaned against a ledge as she did. She pulled out her phones texting her grandmother about arriving and how she was heading towards the office now.

That's when an angel fell into her arms. Well, at least that was Emma's opinion.

With a tiny yelp a girl around Emma's age fell from the ledge she was standing on. Emma reacted on instincts and caught her.

Bright green eyes meet light blue eyes.

"Hi," the girl muttered embarrassed.

"Hi," Emma replied confused.

They stayed like that for a moment till the girl finally said, "You can put me down."

Emma blushed as she had not even noticed she was still holding the girl bridal style, "Oh my god. Sorry."

The girl giggled and Emma looked her over, noting her light blonde hair and stylish colors, " Gabriel brand?"\

The girl nodded, "Yep, my mom loved him. Shame he passed away."

Emma swallowed a little and looked at the ground at the mention of her grandfather, "Yeah."

"Your new right? I don't think I've met you," the girl commented looking her over too, "I'm Sophie."

"Emma."

"Well, Emma thanks for the catch. I would stay to help but I'm already late meeting my friends."

"It's no problem," Emma replied looking up and waved at the girl, "I have to head out anyway. See ya!"

As she walked away she hear a laugh from her pocket, she flicked it in response.

…..

Emma didn't expected a lot from today, but she at least expected for the school not to be attacked by a supervillain. Like come on! But here she was walking to get lunch when a crazy villain dropped from the sky.

"An akuma?! How?!" She heard Plagg yelped from her pocket as the baseball bat wielding villain glare at a teacher behind Emma.

"You want to ruin my career?! Mine! Strikeout's?! Over a lame literature paper!" He cried as he threw a ball up and hit it towards the teacher.

10 plus years of Tai chi kicked in as Emma turned and grabbed the teacher and pulled both of them out of the way as the ball sailed over head.

"Shit," Emma cursed as she looked Strikeout as her breathing got short. Not now! She thought. Not when I have to help someone!

"Not so fast!"

Emma, Strikeout, and the teacher looked up from where the voice came from and looked up to see a hero. A spotted hero. A young spotted hero.

Eventually, Strikeout said what they were thinking, "A new blonde Ladybug?!"

Author's Note

Thanks for the reviews, follows, and favorites. Updated the first chapter should be a bit better.

To clear up any confusion, Emma just moved back to Paris from New York. So, she knows of the Paris heroes but it's been ten years and may be a little rusty. She has been living with Gabriel has had little to know contact with Louis, Hugo, Tom, and Sabine since the car accident. Also Marinette eventually left the Miraculous in the care of the new heroes before she died.

See you in the next chapter!
