Hey everyone, hope you all had a nice holiday! This is a bit late but as a treat i will have a surprise for everyone of my followers on New Years eve, before 6 PM Eastern time zone that is
Adrien looked at the black pants and a black jacket/vest with dark blue pockets he was wearing before looked at how he looked in the mirror with the rig and smirked. "You know I look normal with black hair."
"You're just lucky that it's a cold enough for some people to wear a jacket." Marinette said as she looked at him holding the arms of the jacket and sighed. "But it isn't cold enough for the full piece so…"
"Yeah, good call with the zipper arms." Adrien said and Marinette shrugged.
"It was like that when I found it; it did give me a few ideas and it taught me a few ideas about some tricks to try out." Marinette said with a laugh that caused Adrien to stare at her and blush and he heard Plagg snicker in the jacket vests pocket.
"Well this is pretty good. Why'd whoever give it to a thrift store?" Adrien asked and Marinette chuckled and smirked.
"I had to replace a zipper on one side, there was a stain on the pockets that caused me to cut them away and put in some new ones, that's why they're a different color." Marinette said and Adrien ahhed.
"Thanks for this Marinette, I better go before Nadja gets here, see you after where ever we're supposed to meet up." Adrien asked and Tikki spoke up before Marinette could.
"The movie theater in the 17th near the Arc." Tikki said from Marinette's purse.
"Thanks Sugarclub, come on lover boy the sooner we're done, the sooner we can talk to Fu and the others." Plagg said from a pocket in the jacket and Marinette looked away with a blush as Tikki giggled.
"I'll meet you and the others there, this way we won't press our luck more then we have to." Adrien said as he looked at Marinette and took a deep breath. "And we will have to have a talk before Monday."
"About….." Marinette asked and Adrien looked at her.
"Us." Adrien said and Marinette blushed and looked away. Adrien bent over and kissed Marinette's forehead and she blushed harder and he smiled at her as he rubbed her right cheek. "I'll see you at Fu's."
"Wait, don't forget this." Marinette said as she handed him a slice of cheese breed wrapped up and Adrien smiled at her and hugged her.
"Thanks Marinette, thank you for being you." Adrien said before he quickly left through the door and moved along the streets towards a location he could transform and blushed a little bit for what he had done.
"Nice going lover boy, and what do you want to name your kittens?" Plagg teased and Adrien looked down as Plagg snickered.
"Plagg, will you keep it down?!" Adrien said as he looked around, hoping that no one was nearby enough to see or curious enough to investigate.
"Relax, nobodies close enough to hear us." Plagg said and Adrien looked around and force himself to relax a tiny bit but kept walking, his eyes looking around for any trace that someone had heard Plagg. "And if anyone does hear they'll probably think your phone is on speaker."
Adrien kept quiet as he walked through Paris and away from the area of both the school and the bakery, he had to find a place to transform that he wouldn't be seen. "We have to be careful Plagg, especially now. Once mistake and this will be like the time Marinette and I tried to see that movie!"
"You're paranoid, but in your case that's a good point." Plagg admitted as Adrien walked down a blind alley a few moments later.
"Plagg, claws out!" Adrien said and within a moment he had transformed into Chat Noir and jumped upwards and began dashing over the Paris skyline. You know I'm right kid
Marinette stayed still for minutes after Adrien had left until Tikki moved up and got in her face, grinning at her. "I told you he would still like you Marinette!"
Marinette snapped out of her daze and still blushing moved upstairs and got the area ready for when Manon would get here, leaving Tikki to follow behind and giggle as she flew after her chosen. Five minutes later Marinette was finished putting the last finishing touches on the living room when she heard the doorbell and gestured for Tikki to hide and hurried down stairs and opened the door and smiled when she saw who was there.
"Some one's been dying to see you again Marinette." Nadja said with smiled at Marinette as Manon hugged the designer.
"Marinette!" Manon called happily as Marinette laughed a little, glad that Manon was still the same given the chaos of the last few days.
"Hi Manon, my friend Alya is coming over later so let's hope unlike the first time there isn't an Akuma attack." Marinette said and Manon giggled. "Now I left out a juice box and cookies upstairs, who can I trust to be a good girl and go drink it and eat the vegetable cookies?"
"ME!" Manon called out and Marinette let her run to the stairs and walked up them carefully.
"Thanks again Marinette, I'm sorry for bothering you like this all last minute but I was originally going to have the day off but then my boss called me and I had to go in for a surprise interview. So everything is good then I'll be back before noon." Nadja said as she handed over a small bag and Marinette nodded.
"Don't worry; this is fine. And I might be on hand to watch her during the mornings on weekdays in the future if you need me to." Marinette said with a smirk as Nadja looked shocked. "I'm going to be homeschool for the rest of the year at least, so I'll get back to you about what days I might be able to handle her."
"Did something happen at school?" Nadja asked and Marinette sighed.
"That is a long story that I can't legally talk about until my expulsion hearing." Marinette said and held up a hand as Nadja opened her mouth. "LEGALLY I can't talk about it, but once I can I'll tell you the whole story okay."
"I'll be back in a few hours Marinette, thanks again." Nadja said and walked off, a frown on her face. Why, in the name of everything on this planet would Marinette, Marinette of all the students in that school be expelled, this makes enough sense as….. nothing at all! I think I have a new subject for my next investigation, the current state of the Paris Education department and schools! She thought as she looked at the school across the street and she hoped that it wasn't as bad as she feared it was.
As Marinette moved upstairs she saw Manon as she drank her juice and smiled at her. "Okay I've got a game, there's a good movie you like or you could play one of the video games your mom brought."
"Movie!" Manon said and Marinette turned the TV on and she laughed as it started.
Marinette got out a drawing pad and started to work on a dress design as she sighed, happy that this would be easy for once.
"Hey Marinette, your parents said I could come up and help… okay TV and movie, good." Alya said softly as she came up from below.

Chat Noir dropped down into a back ally and dropped his transformation and Plagg flew into his pocket that Adrien put the cheese slice and Adrien could hear the kwami eat the food. He moved out the alley and saw Louise waiting by his car and moved towards him. "Hey Louise!"
Louise looked up and blinked a few times before he realized who he was seeing. "That you kid, I wouldn't have known it was you if I hadn't heard you!"
"Thanks, she does good work doesn't she?" Adrien asked as he smirked as he got into the backseet and Louise got into the driver's seat and started the car. As they drove along Adrien looked at the windows and whistled.
"What's with the tainted widows?" He asked as he felt Plagg move against him and waited
"Security feature that I got when my car needed to be replaced." Louise said and smirked at Adrien through the review mirror. "Let me tell you, that modification really help me get my clients around safely. And at least this way your fans won't see you in the windows!"
Adrien laughed lightly as they drove through Paris, letting the radio takeover the small talk. As they passed by a Limo Adrien went white as he saw the Gorilla in driver's seat. As the car passed by and he looked back and saw the limo drive away he breathed easily.
"Yeah kid I know, we passed your family's car. Don't react, we're almost there. All we have to do is make it a few more blocks and we're home free." Louise said and Adrien sighed as he leaned back. "Don't worry, I've got this car after your mom disappeared and he doesn't know what my license plate is so we're golden."
Adrien kept silent and Louise looked at him and frowned, not liking how Adrien was behaving. Come on kid, I know that Gab did a number on you, but I really want to believe that there's still a way for the both of you to heal. He thought as he went over everything that he could do to get a rise out of him. "Hey kid, your dad ever tell him the first time he met your mother she threw up on him?"
"No, really?" Adrien asked and Louise laughed a little.
"Okay, let me tell you all about how those two met. It was college, Gabriel was putting together this fashion show and your mom was between shows at the theater so she decided to give it a try, IE her sis talked her into it. Of course acting and modeling is kinda different so she was nervous as heck." Louise said as he drove the car through Paris. "Unfortunately her sister gave her a cure but it was actually meant to purge her system and well you can guess what happened when Gabriel walked up."
"No way!" Adrien said and started to laugh.
"Yeah, man o man he had this expression as what the fuck happened and then Emilie was apologizing and then Gabe went and changed into his spare clothing, it was his suit and then he started the show, and since it was high class clothing his complimented it and he got a great review!" Louise said and laughed. "Emilie worked in a few more of his shows and then they started to date after they graduated and then well you know."
"You know they never told me that story. Any other stories like that?" Adrien asked and Louise laughed and shook his head as he looked into his past.
"Plenty kid, plenty!" Louise said as he looked into his past and snickered. "I'll tell you all about then once we're inside there."
"There? Oh." Adrien said as he saw they were just in front of a blocky building with a garage door next to a black glass door with a card reader and a keypad next to both doors and he whistled. "You know, I never noticed that before."
"Yeah, I know what you mean." Louise said with a sigh. "Strange isn't it?"
"Yeah." Adrien said as they drove up to the garage door and Louise opened his window and inserted a card into the card reader next to the garage door and put in a code before it started to open.
They drove into a well-lit garage with rows of parking spaces and a door on the other side with a card reader next to it. Louise parked and then parked the car, Louise looked at Adrien and smiled. "Okay kid as we went into the door, it started to close and we just need to wait another minute then we'll be able to leave. And don't worry about anyone talking about you being here, everyone signs a contract of confidentiality and if anyone talks, everyone is punished until the person responsible is discovered."
"Oh." Adrien said and looked at the garage door and saw it closed and then he opened the car door and Louise got out as well.
"Another fun fact, the door to the waiting room outside turns twice, no way for anyone to get camera shots of inside." Louise said as they walked towards the door to the building, it opened and a man in a suit with a face mask and thick glasses walked out and signed a few words to Louise who nodded at him. "And the doctor is great with people who have particular objections and personal requirements to their treatment, hey man how's it been?"
The man signed a few more words and walked away towards a car and got in, not reacting and Adrien looked at Louise who grinned.
"Motion sensors, this way the doors out only open when nobody is out of the building." Louise said and Adrien whistled.
"They really work to keep their clients identities safe don't they?" Adrien asked and Louise nodded with a laugh.
"Yeah they do kid." Louise said as he opened the door and then walked infront of him into a waiting room with a girl Adrien's age with black glasses, pink hair and she was wearing a nurse's uniform with a black hat on. Adrien noticed that she was wearing a grey choker around her neck. "Hello, wait are you Sarah's daughter Lisa?"
"Yes I am, are you the three 10 o'clock appointment a MERZETH?" Lisa asked and Louise nodded and grinned at Adrien.
"And another thing, they give our appointments code names and password. Yes, I am Mr. Duty." Louise said with a smirk. "Kid go with her, she'll take you and I'll be here when you get back." Adrien nodded and walked after Lisa who led him to a room and gestured for him to enter. As Adrien sat down in one of the chairs Plagg pushed his head out and looked at Adrien.
"I'm going to poke around a bit; this is about an hour right?" Plagg said before he darted away, Adrien watching helplessly.
Plagg flew through the vents and smirked as he saw black cobwebs followed them until he reached a drop and moved down until he found a circle of the black webs on the side and phased through it into a small chamber with a black sphere of the webs that glowed, illuminating the space.
"I thought I felt you Webby!" Plagg said with a grin as he looked at who he had found.
"Don't call me Webby stinky sock!" A high pitched voice said as a spider like Kwami with four 'stick legs' sticking out of it's back and it had it's arms crossed. "And what are you two doing here?! I thought you all went with those people to Tibet centuries ago!"
"The order fell before WW2 Zera." Plagg said and Zera looked at him in shock and gasped.
"Then this Hawkmoth thing isn't those guys trying to drag us out of hiding?!" Zera said, shocked. Plagg looked at her before wincing, remembering a few things the Order had done to get some of their holders to give the Miraculous over to their 'care'.
"No, it really isn't. So how about, want to talk your holder into fighting alongside us?" Plagg asked and Zera looked down, her mind elsewhere. "What is it; your's is on the side of the good right?"
"Yeah, but she's not one who likes to fight. I mean my powers are best with a team, my webs can hold foes down or help protect others, and she's a medic!" Zera said and then looked at Plagg. "I'll talk to her, I'll say that I found you when I saw Chat Noir on the roof and you detransformed and you swung by while your holder was eating at a restaurant nearby."

Nadia walked into the hotel and looked around, trying to find her crew when she spotted someone waving at her from the elevators.
"Hey Nadia, sorry about calling you in but we really didn't have a choice." The executive said and looked at her with an apologetic look on his face. "I mean nobody expect that to happen to him, really we didn't. I'm sorry; I'll give you a day off with half pay so please I'm sorry."
"We were just lucky that I could get a babysitter, that's all I will say about this. So who am I meeting with?" Nadia asked and he sighed at her answer and bowed to her.
"An executive from a movie theater that is looking to open a studio nearby, and by nearby I mean outside the range of him." The executive said and Nadia looked shocked. "We need you to well, read off a few question for the preliminaries and hopeful if nothing happens then we'll have an interview at the studio."
"That's something; I mean it would be the first new business that's come into the city in, well since this thing started!" Nadia said and the executive nodded.
"Then you see how this could be big, right?" The executive said with a smile. "And the studio might make a superhero movie first!"
"That is amazing." Nadia said and looked up at the clock and nodded. "But I have to be finished before noon, I promised the sitter that I'd get her before then and this was last minute."
"Of course, I promise no more than an hour." The executive said as they walked towards the elevators,
"Nice, and I might have a good story about one of the local school within the next few days." Nadia said and the executive looked interested as the doors closed. Meanwhile outside the Agreste limo came to a stop in front of the hotel and pulled to a stop.
Nathalie got out and looked at the 'Gorilla' and nodded at him. "Go park nearby, hopefully I'll have Adrien and we'll be back at the mansion in a few hours."
The Gorilla looked at her and grunted and scowled at her, and Nathalie winced and looked down. "I promise I won't stop you if at the end of it all Gabriel and Adrien doesn't make up and fix this, you can take Adrien to the police and testify okay?"
'Gorilla' nodded and Nathalie looked around at the hotel and walked inside, her eyes looking all over trying to find a clue that Adrien was there. After a few moments a hand fell onto her shoulder and she turned to see the mayor looking at her with a smile.
"Nathalie my dear, how are you? You usually talk to my people over the phone if you need the space, has something happened?" Chloe's father, André Bourgeois the mayor of Paris asked as he stood there in his usual clothes. Nathalie looked at him and smiled.
"No, I just thought I'd hit the café here and grab a coffee. With everything that happened lately I thought it might be best that I grab one from here." Nathalie said and Andre sighed and shook his head.
"I know just what you mean my dear. With all Hawkmoth and now this newcomer, what's her name, Karula Zayura….. whatever. First it was how people just needed to feel strong emotions and now what she uses to make monsters, I just don't know what Paris is coming too. Thankfully tourism hasn't fallen too much." He said with a laugh.
"I think her name was Mayura, and it's never a good idea to taunt the crazy Mr. Mayor, I would have the name memorized before any speeches." Nathalie said frostily and Andre nodded.
"Of course, but with the special guest I have…opps! Please forget I ever said anything my dear, and don't mention it to Gabriel." Andre said as he looked at her.
Nathalie kept silent and looked at him and barely kept a smile down. "So you don't want Gabriel to know about it then?"
"Just until the announcement my dear, a day at most and then go right ahead." Andre said and he shrugged. "I know it sounds convoluted but that's what they wanted."
"I understand completely, truly I do." Nathalie said and smiled at in self-thought victory. "Just for the sack of wondering, is the guest in the ninth Suite, that has nothing to do with this one right?"
"Oh of course, we were obliged to give that room to them, a point of honor as you can guess." Andre said and then looked at the clock and then nodded. "I'm so sorry, but I have to leave, I have a meeting about a concert and well I don't want to be late."
"Of course, I'm sorry that I took so much time from you." Nathalie said and watched him leave before taking out her phone.
Nath; I have two pieces of evidence that he's here, plan is a go
Gabe; Good, I'll see you with him hopefully, good luck.
Nathalie walked towards the café and looked around the lobby, she was sure Adrien was here and once Gabriel found the right target, she would have her chance. Once it started she would go up to the top floor and then she would find Adrien and talk to him about everything as the Gorilla drove them away from the attack.

"When you have that court date, call me. I want to have a talk with your nutritionists, a talk involving my hands around his neck." Doctor Albert Wayzong said with a glare as he looked at Adrien. When he had seen Adrien's results it had taken some fast talking before he hurt Louise and then after hearing that Adrien was filling for emancipation and he calmed down a bit after that.
"Thanks doc, I really appraised it." Adrien said as he shook Albert's hand. Doctor Albert Wayzong was a middle aged man with a bald head and had blue eyes and a small beard. He was wearing a blue shirt under a white doctor's coat and black pants. Adrien leaned against the wall and after a moment he felt Plagg press against him from within his coat and he kept a grin down. "And this place is great; I mean you've got great service and well you really take care of your clients privacy!"
"Don't thank me my boy, this place was set up after one too many paparazzi broke down my old place. And helping you, well that was part of my weakly charity work. Keeps my optimism alive and I get to stay in practice." Doctor Albert said with a laugh.
"Goodbye, come again!" Lisa waved as she sat behind the counter. As she looked down at her pocket she frowned and looked up at the doctor and cleared her throat. "Sorry doc, bathroom breaks be right back in a bit."
Adrien and Louise walked out and got into Louise's car and then they were on the road outside of the building.
"Okay, so where do I need to take you Adrien?" Louise asked and Adrien looked at him.
"Back to where you dropped me, that's all I need to get back to my friends." Adrien said as he felt Plagg push against him from his pocket. Louise smiled at them and shook his head. "Anyhow, I'm sure that with how the doc reacted to your physical that part of the case is won, just give me a few more days to look over everything my investigators have found and your own interview I think we'll win, but I am sorry you had to do this kid."
"I know Louise, I know." Adrien said and looked thoughtful. This is going to be very hurtful no matter what happens, I guess in the end I have to hope that dad wasn't this way on purpose. But I don't understand how he could have done this otherwise. He thought as he looked out the car's window, not paying attention to anything until he felt the car stop.
"We're here kid, are you sure you're okay?" Louise said and Adrien nodded and got out of the car and bashed towards the alley, slipping down it and after a few moments he found the dead end he had dropped his transformation before.
"Well kid that was hopeful." Plagg said as he grinned at Adrien and smiled. "I can't wait to talk to the others at Fu's!"
"What is it Plagg?" Adrien asked and Plagg grinned wider.
"Let's just say that I might have helped us win a victory today, and I really hope I did something right this time!" Plagg said with a grin. "But I'll talk about it later, let's go kid!"
"Right, Plagg, Claws out!" Adrien called out before transforming into Chat Noir and then he leapt upwards and moved towards the meeting point.

"Thank you so much for this Marinette, this was such a blessing." Nadia said as she held Manon's hand as she smiled at Marinette. Nadia looked between Alya and Marinette and then looked between them. "Are you sure I can't get you to tell me what happened at your school?"
"No, I really don't want to talk about it. But I will tell you when I can okay?" Marinette promised and Nadia nodded.
As Nadia walked away holding Manon's hand Marinette waved as she watched them walk away and Alya looked at him and laughed a little.
"That wasn't as bad I feared you know?" Alya said and Marinette nodded.
"Manon's very sweat, either just right or is a complete monster that destroys everything." Marinette said and then looked at her watch. "Come on, we've got to meet the boys!"
"Yeah, but you know that she won't give up right?" Alya asked at they walked away from the bakery. Marinette sighed and nodded.
"Being you're friend taught me that about reporters. And I hope we get paperwork back after that tells me at least what this will be." Marinette said with a sigh that turned into a glare. "My parents and I talked about it; if we have to we will sue the school and or my former principle and trial by public works too."
"Ladies, hey!" Nino's voice kept Alya from reacting and turning towards his voice she smiled and kissed his check.
"Hey you ready for this?" Alya asked and Nino grinned and looked at them.
"Yeah, we're just waiting on Maxie and his bot?" Nino asked and Alya nodded.
"Don't wait for me everyone, I'm here!" Max said from behind them and Marinette jumped and looked at Max as he stood there and smiled at them.
"Learning to walk silently bot boy?" Alya asked and Max laughed and rubbed the back of his head.
"Well, all those times I ran and hide from Akuma's had to have done something to me sooner or later." Max said with a smirk.
"Let's go, we have a nice walk until we get there." Marinette said a she walked off, her eyes looking all over until Alya looked at her and cleared her throat.
"Uh girl, are you looking for someone?" Alya asked as Nino and Max looked at Marinette as
"I'm looking for Lila, she can't follow us." Marinette said and the others looked at each other and nodded, all of them agreeing that if Lila found out anything about this then it would be bad.

Sabrina smiled at Chloe as they walked through the streets, glad that they had spent the day listing to the bands and having lunch out. "So think we'll have to do that after Marinette's hearing?"
"Probably yeah. I mean I wasn't a great student but they should have called me out on a lot of the stuff I did." Chloe said with a scowl as she looked away.
"You really don't like Miss. Bustier at all, do you?" Sabrina asked and Chloe got an ugly look on her face.
"If there are word that describe how I feel about that bi…..witch I don't know them in French, English or Chinese!" Chloe said with a growl. And that's why I really didn't think that teacher bitch deserved Marinette's work like that, sorry Mari but sometimes there is collateral damage. Chloe thought with a frown as she looked away from Sabrina and sighed.
"Hey what are they doing?" Sabrina asked suddenly and Chloe looked up and saw Marinette, Nino, Alya and Max walking on the other side of the road and Chloe looked closer when she saw Marinette was looking all around. "Are they going somewhere?"
"And they don't want anyone to know." Chloe whispered as she pulled Sabrina to a storefront. "Don't look at them, look at their reflection, and keep your eyes focused on Marinette."
"Chloe?" Sabrina asked before she could see Marinette look all around through the cars passing by the window. "What is this?"
"Marinette probably doesn't want Lila to find them so let's follow so we can intercept her." Chloe said as she led Sabrina parallel to Marinette and friends. "Come on, let's help her out since we couldn't during the attack."
Sabrina laughed a little and let herself be dragged along behind her
XXXXXXXXXXX
Chloe looked at them as they followed Marinette and the others, a frown on her face as they
As the four friends moved turned down the alley Chloe frowned and moved quickly and quietly towards it as Sabrina followed behind.
"What is it Chloe?" Sabrina asked and Chloe ignored her. "We saw where they were going, and Lila isn't around here as far as we know."
"This theater, it's had the same owner for years, they always pay their taxes full even when they have terrible business, dad's been…" Chloe trailed off as she saw Chat Noir drop down by them and a flash turned him into Adrien with a black cat kwami floating by his head. Sabrina's mouth dropped open as Chloe looked from Marinette to Max, Alya and Nino and suddenly Chat Noir flashed and Adrien was standing there with a little creature hovering over his shoulder. "Oh my. god."

"Adrien, how was the checkup?" Marinette asked and Adrien frowned a little.
"Not as bad as I feared but better then I hoped, I'm getting a bit underweight and well Plagg said that while the Miraculous help us use energy in a balance and heal us, it can't make things from nothing." Adrien said and rubbed the back of his neck.
A sound from the door caused them to look up and see Master Fu looking out at them and smiling with a look that had a hint of mischief in it.
"Ahh there you all, come in come in." Fu said as he gestured for them to come into the door and then pointed towards a doorway farther down. "This way my young friends."
XXXX
"I can't believe it, I mean it's so obvious." Chloe said dumbly as she watched them walk into the door and then she ran towards it after it closed and then calmly brought out two pieces of metal and got to work on the door
"Chloe what are you doing?!" Sabrina demanded as she watched Chloe work.
"I'm not giving up a chance to give that old man a piece of my mind for throwing Marinette and Adrien at Hawkmoth!" Chloe said as she unlocked the door and they saw a hallway, a door closing a few feet away.
XXXX
Fu led the way into his apartment under the theater and opened the Miraculous Box and let the kwami out, but only those who had partners who went to their humans as they all sat down and Fu brought out a tea set and cups, filling them with tea and.
"Welcome, one and all." Fu said as he bowed to them. "I had lost hope that I would ever sit with chosen of the Kwami again."
"Is there a difference between us and Hawkmoth and his blue witch?" Alya asked and Fu nodded before looking at her with a glare and she swallowed.
"Yes, but I must insist that you keep it from your blog. If Hawkmoth or anyone else finds out about it!" Fu said and Alya nodded.
"Chill, I'll keep quiet, I promise." Alya said as Trixx giggled from her place on top of Alya's head.
"I told you she was a true Fox! We know when to find and when to hide!" Trixx said and Alya looked at her. "And we choose you Alya, we choose all of you."
"Indead." Kaalki said and nodded. "Each of you have traits that we Kwami…. The closest word in the common tongue is resonate but it fails to catch a few things. This was so much easier when people spoke Altantian."
"The problem with the wish, as Plagg has said is that it is balance in its purist form. To make a selfish wish, that causes the universe to deal the same damage to the wisher." Fu said as he put down the teapot and looked at them. "To save a life of a loved one, a loved one is struck down. To cure of a terrible diseases, then they get another one just as bad."
"Wait, Atlantis was real!? What happened to it?!" Max asked and Adrien only pointed at Plagg.
"He did." Adrien said and every human aside from him, Fu and Marinette stared open mouthed.
"To be fair, I had no choice. There was this monstrosity that was part animal and plant, and Tikki's powers can't destroy life." Plagg said and looked down. "Unfortunately it had it's roots all under the island and well."
"And this wish couldn't be used then why?" Nino asked and Tikki nodded.
"My holder at the time, she died before and her body fell into the sea. I slept for hundreds of years until it made it to shore and I found someone I could see would use it right. I meet Plagg again about three hundred years later in the early days of Rome." Tikki said and looked down at the floor.
"What happened to you Plagg?" Adrien asked and Plagg shrugged.
"Me and my holder had a fallen out with the survivors and fought our way free and with like-minded people escaped to what you all know as Africa and I spent the next few hundred years fighting against them, and then I found Tikki and a few hundred years later the Guardians found us." Plagg said with a scowl. "The survivors really went mad after that."
"So what was Atlantis like?" Max asked with stars in his eyes.
"It had a caste based society, only it wasn't based on birth but potential and what they would like. They had an understanding of sociology that is still unmatched so their tests helped a lot of people find their passions." Wayzz said with a laugh as the Kwami grinned. "One of our missing siblings was usually partnered with a member of the Healing Caste, and they passed on many things to the Guardians."
"Amazing, but back up a bit okay. Then you think Hawkmoth is after the wish to save someone?" Alya asked and Marinette looked down before she nodded as a scowl grew on her face. "Why, what happened?"
"It was the last time we fought Mayura." Adrien began and looked at Marinette who was just a s messed up as him.
"The day that I was expelled and that mass attack fizzled out, Mayura made an appearance. She tried to trick Adrien with a Ladybug Senti-Monster… I gave the item that created her to her and Mayura, she just killed her by recalling the energy used to create her." Marinette said as she hugged her arms and looked down, never noticing that Adrien had hugged her as well or the stormy expression on her face was mirrored on his. "I don't think I'll ever be able to forget the look in her eyes as she died!"
"Oh Mari….." Alya whispered as they all took in what she had said.
"Dude….. that's evil on another level." Nino siad and even Max with his limited social skills knew that this was beyond anything. Even Fu looked both mad and sad.
"In fact, all that I know that shouldn't have been possible. Once the Imok has it's item, you can't just recall the energy used, and as someone who has created one I should know, you need the item to destroy banish it away, otherwise you can't." Fu said as he looked at the children before him. "But what happens next is why we think this."
"She got sick, like she almost passed out." Marinette said and looked at them with a haunted look in her eyes. "And then Hawkmoth appeared and saved her."
"Hawkbutt came out of his lair?! Dude." Nino breathed and Alya looked shocked as Max's glass slipped off his head. A gasp caused them all to turn and see two figures at the stairs, Chloe and Sabrina.
"CHLOE?!" Adrien gasped and Marinette face palmed as Pollen who had been hovering by the gamohpone shot towards her and hugged her cheek.
"The puns, how caring Marinette is, I should have seen it." Chloe said and Sabrina looked out from behind her and waved.
"How the hell?" Alya asked as Fu looked on and stroked his beard and Chloe shrugged.
"Sabrina saw you four move along the streets and I saw Marinette looking around and then we saw Adrien transform back and then I picked the lock." Chloe said with a shrug at the looks she was getting. "What, I had to do something to pass the time when I was younger and stuck in my apartment while dad was out, learning to break out was something to do, at least until he moved me to the roof."
"Come in, the both of you, let us talk for a bit." Fu said as he looked at Chloe and Sabrina, his eyes on them and with a curious glint in his eyes. "I have wanted to talk to you for a while Miss. Bourgeois. And this is as good a time as any."
"Good. I wanted to talk to the person who chooses kids to fight Hawkbutt anyway." Chloe said as she glared at Fu as he grinned as the others looked at her.
