Carapace and Cat Noir stared for a moment before a beep from Cat's ring broke the silence.

"I should go," Cat explained as she moved to leave.

"Wait, we should talk," the turtle hero said.

"I have like 4 minutes," the cat hero explained pointing to her ring.

"I can wait here while you feed your kwami," Carapace assured, "No peeking or anything."

Cat Noir honestly was emotionally tired and knew she should get home before her grandparents went to check on her or something but one look at Carapaces face told her he really wanted to talk. She gave in with a groan, "Fine I'll be right back."

Carapace fist pumped and nodded.

Cat Noir jumped down and hide in a stairway after checking no one was near by said, "Plagg, claws in."

With that she was transformed and Plagg was in front of her. Emma pulled a cheese stick out of her pocket for Plagg. He immediately started munching on it as the teenager leaned against the railing, "So, Carapace? Anything I should know Plagg?"

Plagg finished the cheese and thought for a moment, "He's a good guy, has to be for Wayzz to trust him. Your mother chose him. She choose most of the heroes. He probably wants to know what you know about what happened to the previous Cat Noir."

Emma groaned, "Does he even know who my dad is?"

"No idea. A lot can change in ten years," Plagg explained, "Really it's up to you what you tell him. But, I'll say it's like your second day as Cat Noir and you've only have me for like 4 days sorry you might want to not tell him everything to give you some breathing room."

Emma nodded, "Thanks, Plagg. Claws out!"

One overly complicated transformation later Cat Noir was back and on the roof with the turtle hero.

"So, your Cat Noir?" Carapace asked obviously trying to figure out what to say.

"I guess," the girl in question shrugged.

They stayed silent for a moment looking out over Paris.

"Was the old Cat your friend?" She decided to ask breaking the silence.

A deep sigh came from the man, "I suppose so. He was the second leader after Ladybug and we generally got along. He saved my life a time or two."

"Understandable and then I show up out of the blue," Cat Noir muttered feeling bad. The guy was friends with her dad, "Did you know him out of suit?"

Carapace shook his head sadly, "Never even had a guess."

Cat sighed at this.

"So, did he give it to you or what?" Carapace asked concerned.

Here it was. What to say? Cat Noir thought for several seconds. The man deserves some closure right? But at the same time did she want to man to know the truth? The truth that Emma Agreste was made to swallow.

The black cat hero sighed and sat down on the edge of the building, "My grandmother had been going threw my parents old things, she found this old box and it had a ring in it. She thought it looked like a ring that belonged to my father. So, she gave it to me."

Carapace stayed silent before looking at the girl shocked, "Your father's?"

Cat Noir nodded sadly, "Yeah. Plagg more or less confirmed it."

"Your dad is Cat Noir?" The turtle man asked hopeful.

"Was, My dad was Cat Noir."

There was silence again as it clicked in his head.

"Dude, no way. He was Cat Noir. He…"

Cat Noir looked at Carapace sadly. Tears were clearly in his eyes, which didn't bode for the hero's goggles. There wasn't much to do. Honestly, you can't do much but cry. Emma had cried for her everyone.

They sat in silence again. This time it was interrupted by a rumbling sound as they looked to the side to see smoke on a nearby rooftop.

"Rena!" Carapace yelled before running off the roof.

Cat Noir didn't hesitate and immediately jumped after him.

…

Ladybug looked at Rena Rogue and tried not to be star struck. Her mom was Queen Bee after all. This wasn't any different. She would keep her squee internal.

"Okay, girl," Rena started seriously, "I get your the new Ladybug. You stopped an akuma, so you are on our side. So, I really have nothing against you. But, real talk. How did you get the Miraculous? And what happened to the original Ladybug?"

Rude, honestly. No hey or anything? Ladybug sighed anyway and looked at Rena, "Honestly, crazy story. My boyfriend gave the ear rings, said they were his mom's and that I'd like them especially with my love of all things Ladybug. We thought they were replicas. Imagine my surprise later that night when once he left they glew and Tikki, my kwami, pops out saying I'm the new chosen."

Rena looked baffled at the story, "Your boyfriend's mom is Ladybug and let him give away her Miraculous?"

"Was Ladybug. I'm afraid she passed away when he was 5."

That stopped Rena immedaitely, "No, no way. Ladybug can't have died. She was ...She was Ladybug!"

The new Ladybug wanted comfort her but at that moment saw a shadow moving throwed them staffed raised. Ladybug pulled Rena Rogue out of the way right as the staff collided with building roof with a bang sending smoke up.

They looked at the attacker surprised to see traits only know to be associated with the monkey hero. Meaning he was one of the theives.

"Wukong!" Rena Rogue screamed at her attacker.

"Cool, Viperion shared my name sweet," The attacker probably a teenager or young man by his voice smiled, "Meet my friend Cobra by the way." Another young walked out, this one wearing the snake miraculous.

Shit, the heroes thought at the same time.

"Now hand over the jewels ladies," Wukong threatened holding his staff.

"Not a chance," Ladybug repiled.

"You asked for this then," Wukong shrugged moving to attack.

"Second Chance!" Cobra called activating his Miraculous.

As Wukong raised his staff but suddenly was stopped by Cobra, "We have to leave."

That tripped everyone up.

"What the fuck dude?" Wukong asked confused, "We can bet them easily."

"I just re-did this fight 25 times," Cobra explained seriously looking at Ladybug warily, "we lose everything."

"How even?"

"Cataclysm!"

Cobra pushed Wukong out of the way as they barely missed Cat Noir's fist colliding into the wall as Carapace came in to back her up. The two villains started at the now 4 heroes. Carapace and Cat Noir standing between Rena and Ladybug and the villains.

"I see 2 on four isnt the fairest fight," Wukong concluded, "We'll have to pick this up another time."

With that the two villains disappeared into the alleys below as Cat leaned over looking into the crowds of people, "Ass hats."

Rena hugged Carapace in relief.

As Ladybug rubbed her shoulder from the impact of dragging the woman from the attack. A hand reached out and Ladybug looked surprised to see it was Cat Noir's, "you alright?"

Ladybug nodded, "Not how I planned my night."

"Same," The black cat hero said as she helped her partner up.

They looked over at the older heroes as they broke apart and looked at the newbies.

"Ladybug, Cat Noir," Rena Rogue started shyly, "Thank you. That could have ended badly. We can't lose anymore Miraculous to the thieves. Especially with the chance of Hawk Moth back as well."

The teens nodded as Ladybug spoke, "We may be new but we want to help. At least I do. I always wanted to be a hero and I know I can do it."

Cat Noir gave the bug hero a look of admiration before,"OG Ladybug said it best. Villains win only if good people let them. So, we won't."

The four smiled at each other.

"Pound it?" Ladybug asked looking at Cat Noir.

"Still a no from me."

….

Later that in the Lahiffe household Nina was woken by screams from her living room.

"CAT NOIR HAD A DAUGHTER?!"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN LADYBUG'S SON?!"

"Welcome to Tikki Facts!" Tikki exclaimed as she looked at whose eating Cheetos, "That's not camembert!"

Plagg sighed, " Yeah, unfortunately Emma doesn't have as much freedom as Adrien in terms of snacks, or even a mini-fridge so I'm having to make do with other cheese snacks. She has camembert but not as much."

Tikki nodded in understanding, "True, Sophie keeps giving me cookies but they're not Marinette's cookies." Looks at readers, "We kwami can really eat any food to recharge but we have our favorites that recharge us faster than normal. For me its sugar treats and for Plagg it's dairy food."

The cat kwami glared, "Stop telling them my secrets!"

Tikkk rolled her eyes, "Anyway, see you next episode!"
