Tikki: no good can come from this...
MC-Labs Presents:
"A Blogger's Intervention"
(I do not own Miraculous, you already know why)
Alya Cesire was walking home with a spring in her step, although she had been grounded for a month after her stunt with a Car Akuma named Crash Course, who was a disgruntled Driver's Ed Teacher, in which she tried hop onto the roof of the car monster to talk to him which pretty much almost got her killed.
She had all of her tech conficated for that month, but it was worth it, as the footage she got from that battle sent the Ladyblog's views through the roof, and now that her grounding was over, she was reaady to get back to work.
She smiled as she opened the door, unaware of the suprise she would get when she went inside.
"Mom? Dad? Nora?" she asked.
"We're in here Alya..." Marlane said.
As she went in the living room, she was suprised!
There sat her mother, father, and sister, but also sat Marinette, Nino, Adrien and Nadija from the Tvi studio, and right in the center was a odd looking man, he was wearing a lab coat over a blue hoodie which covered his face, but he flashed a toothy smile at Alya.
"Greetings Alya, please have a seat..." he said.
Alya did as she was told.
"Alya, although you grounding is over, you mother and i feel you haven't learned anything from it, if we gave you back your stuff, chances are that the instant we do, you'll just go endanger yourself in another insane attempt at getting footage for your blog." said Otis
"Which is why you parents called me, my name is Marco Tsubasa, but my friends call me "MC" i specialize in "Problem Children" he said.
Alya's eyes widened, she was considered a problem child?
"Your parents called me here, because this wasn't the first time you've done this, in fact, every time there is an Akuma, you blindly rush in to get footage for you blog, there were even times you would sneak into celebrety gatherings for interviews, now i know some folks in the news industry and they have told me countless times that no story is worth dying over." MC explained.
"But that Alya, is just part of the reason we're all here." Marlene said, "Marinette?"
The bluenette cleared her throat, took a deep breath and spoke.
"Alya, i am you friend, your best friend, that will never change, but that does not mean you can pawn off your responsibilities on somone else, namely me." Marinette said, "Every time your parents ask you to babysit Eta and Ella, you ask me to do it so you can hang out with Nino, without even considering if i had somthing else to do that day, i have to rework my entire schedule just to suit your needs."
"You wanna blame somone, blame my folks, i've told them countless times that i can't control them." Alya snapped.
"That is true, but Nora had the same problem with you when you were their age, if she could handle you, you can handle them if you just try." Otis explained.
"Alya, you should be greatful you have siblings, being an only child isn't all that's cracked up to be." Marinette said as she turned to Nino.
"Alya, i love you, but sometimes you can be pushy, always dragging Mari into some crazy plan to win over Adrien, when she obviously has trouble talking to him, to make matters worse, you do it even though Marinette is dating Luka now." Nino explained.
"And Let's not forget that temper of yours sis, when people try to set you straight you snap and go berserk, remember Lila?" Nora said, "Marinette tried to warn you, but you were too stubborn to listen, and when she called your skills as a reporter into question, you gave her a black eye!"
Both parents gasped! they did not know that!
"What? you thought i didn't know, i was going to pick you up when i saw you, what kind of friend punches their BFF in the face?" said Nora.
Nadja got up and spoke next...
"Alya, you are an amazing reporter, but you also hard-headed, even i know when an area is too dangerous, you seem to rush right in without thinking, you may not care about your safety, but you family and friends do." the reporter.
Alya was seething, how dare they? so she goes into Akuma fights, so what? Ladybug always reverses thing with her Miraculous cure.
"...Because she always won." MC said.
Alya turned to MC, he can read her thoughts?
"To some extent, yes, but more to the point, what if Ladybug couldn't reverse things, you would have been seriously hurt, or worse!" MC said, "as i said before, NO story is worth losing your life over!
MC then turned to Alya's parents and held an envelope.
Opening it he passed it to everyone, Alya's eyes widened, she then looked at MC with cold fury.
"where the FUCK did you get this?"
"Alya! Language!" snapped her mother.
"i assume you both know what this is?" MC asked Marlene.
"Yes...these are Alya's police reccords..."Otis said.
Marinette was in shock, Breaking and Entering, 5 counts of Assaulting an Officer, Interfearing with a Police Ivestigation, Resisting Aresst, Vandalism, Grand Theft Auto, Destruction of Property.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Marinette said, tears welling in her eyes, her BFF was a Delinquent!
Alya simply huffed...
"She didn't tell anyone because no one knew, not even Paris PD, there is a special program called "Clean Slate" it's common amoung Hackers, type in your name, date of birth and social security number, and poof! you're wiped from every police reccord on the planet." MC explained, "How did you come across it?"
"A friend from my old school gave me a copy, all right?" Alya explained.
"We moved to Paris to keep her out of trouble...but i guess it found it's way to us." Otis said.
"Why Alya? Why would you try to wipe yourself out of police records" Marinette asked, "Do you have any idea how long you could be in prison for even having this program?"
"If i applied for a job as a reporter, they would look at my police reccords and kick me out on the spot!" Alya explained.
"I though i knew you..." said Marinette as she walked away.
"I took the liberty of sending a copy of your police reccord to every news source in paris..." said MC
"YOU WHAT?" Alya squeaked.
"We told him to..." said Otis.
"I'm sorry Alya, but you need to know that the things you've been doing are dangerous, normaly we would extended your punishment for another month, but i think being blacklisted by the media is punishment enough." said Marlene as she gave back Alya's Phone, laptop and other stuff.
Otis simply nodded and walked away, Nora alongside him.
MC turned to Alya, "Everything that has transpired here was at the request of your parents, they wanted to set you on the right path in life, by doing this they felt they could help you understand that there are no easy ways to success, but there is hope."
"Hope? you fucking ruined me!" Alya growled.
"No Alya, you ruined yourself, you had plenty of choices, but somtimes the easy choices aren't always the right ones, start over, delete your blog, take some time to think about the path you took to get to this point, then focus on where to go from here on out." MC said as he left.
The next week, the Ladyblog was deleted without so much as a good-bye, Alya's police reccords were given not only to the city and every new source in the city, Francois Dupont had a copy on file, but Damocles ignored it as usual, but not the students.
Most of the students avoided Alya like the Plauge, except her classmates, who did their best to console her, even Marinette, Although seeing Alya's police reccords was a shock, she could understand why she hid, no one would want to hire a deilinquent.
She no longer went to Akuma battles, she barely uses her laptop anymore except for homework, which saddened her parents.
"Otis, do you think we were too hard on her, we basicly destroyed her future!" asked Marline.
Otis said nothing...
That very night, Alya had finished tucking the twins into bed, as she went to bed, she saw a familiar figure, it was Ladybug.
"Hey..." said Alya softly.
"Hey..." said Ladybug.
As ladybug crept in, Alya sat on her bed.
"Alya, i want tio apologize, i heard what transpired, i wanted you to stay clear of akumas, i didn't want you to just give up on you dreams, I was with your parents when we spoke to MC.
(Flashback: 1 Month ago)
Ladybug, having just beaten Crash Course, swings over to Alya's house, where she overhears Alya's parents.
"I don't know what we're going to do Otis, we grounded her for a month, took her tech, but by the time a month passes, she just go and do it all over again." Marlene cried.
"I don't know, Alya is a stubborn girl, but figure out somthing." Otis said.
"Perhaps i can help..." Ladybug said, "Alya won't listen to the two of you, and she won't listen to me, but i know who she WILL listen to."
Flashback End.
"So i referred you folks to MC, who specialized in "problem children", but i had no idea he would go that far, he can be a bit rough, but he's helped a lot of people with issues." Ladybug said.
"Well, he succeded, i'm ruined!" Alya said.
"Not exactly..." Ladybug said, as she placed a familiar wooden box in her hands, no sooner did Alya open it, did Trixx pop out to greet her.
"What..." Alya asked, "But why?"
"A person is judged not by what they've done, but what they're going to do, your journey as a reporter may have ended, but you role as Rena Rouge has only just begun."
Tears welled in her eye as Trixx wiped her eyes, she put on the necklace.
"Tikki, Spots Off!"
There was a pink light and Marinette stood where Ladybug was, She faced her friend.
"No more secrets?" said Marinette.
"No more secrets.." Alya repeted as the two friends hugged.
Outside Alya's House, MC looked with certainty.
"Well, my work here is done, now, who is my next job?
The End?
MC: yes, this is an Alya Redemption fic, DO NOT GET USED TO IT!
i'll be back to working on Miraculous Fantasy soon, so don't go thinking i've gone soft.
