In the streets of Paris...
Midoriya looked back at the list, noticing that they only had a couple things left on it. They had collected what they could and were heading back towards a bridge to cross. Uraraka held a couple things on it, and so did Iida.
Midoriya looked rather intense at the list, wondering where to go next. He itched at his head, making sure his beanie didn't fall off.
Uraraka noticed him looking a bit uncomfortable in the beanie hat and looked around for the school.
"Maybe we should head back to the school," Uraraka said to them, "Maybe the others found some more of these things."
"I agree, Uraraka," Iida said to her, "These ingredients are a bit tough to find. We've got what we could find. I'm sure our classmates have found some more of these on the list."
Midoriya looked up from the list and spotted a group coming this way towards the bridge. It was Bakugo and his friends. They looked like they had found a few things on the list.
Midoriya folded up the list and put it in his pocket.
"Hey guys!" Uraraka cried out and ran over to Jirou, "Did you guys find all of the ingredients? It looks like you found a lot of them!"
"Well, not all of them. But, we did find a four leaf clover luckily," Jirou said to them, "That one was easier to find than you'd think."
Uraraka smiled and noticed Bakugo not daring to look at Midoriya. Kirishima seemed to notice this too, and they both shared a look. Ever since Bakugo was deakumatized, they had been avoiding each other a lot more. Then again, Uraraka noticed Bakugo was trying to avoid all of them, but mostly Midoriya.
Uraraka ignored what was going on for now when she noticed Jirou holding something that they couldn't figure out on the list.
"You figured out one of the ingredients!" Uraraka said to her, "So it was mirror? Okay, that makes sense."
Jirou looked down at the mirror and eyed Bakugo, who was already beginning to blush a little. She chuckled a little and gave the ingredients to Uraraka.
"Yeah, but Chloe is actually the one that gave this to us to use," Jirou said to her, "Apparently, Chloe gave it to Bakugo."
"You ran into Chloe? How was she?" Midoriya asked her, "I haven't gotten the chance to talked to her for a while."
Uraraka smiled genuinely at him, happy to see him and Chloe starting to get along.
"Well, we didn't actually talk to her. Bakugo was the one that she talked to," Jirou said to them.
They all looked at Bakugo, surprised that he even ran into her in the first place. After what she had given to him earlier, they wondered what she could've possibly said to him.
Bakugo felt a little weird seeing as how everyone seemed curious about what they talked about. He even felt a slight blush form around his cheeks.
"I-It was nothing important! I don't need to tell you anything," Bakugo growled at them.
Uraraka looked down at the ingredients and noticed that they weren't far from the school at this point. She glanced at Midoriya and noticed him itching his beanie again.
"Come on, we should head back to the school," Uraraka said to everyone, "We don't want Deku staying like this for much longer."
They all agreed and followed her. They all walked silently talking to each other. Uraraka noticed how quiet Bakugo was. He wasn't even really talking to Kirishima that much. She wondered what Chloe could've possibly mentioned or said to him. She seemed to like him a lot, so she must've said something to him. Maybe even confessed to him.
As they all walked up the stairs to the school, they heard someone call out to them.
It was Adrien and the rest of the their classmates.
"Hey guys!" Adrien said to them, "We found an ingredient. These riddles are a bit tough. What did you find?"
He looked down at Uraraka's hand full of ingredients, which caught Adrien off guard. Even Ashido wasn't expecting that.
"What?! How did you find all of that?!" Ashido cried out, "You even found a four leaf clover!"
"Actually, Jirou found that," Uraraka explained, "They even found a mirror. Apparently Chloe gave it to Bakugo."
Ashido's eyes sparkled as she turned to Bakugo. She jumped for joy as she got closer to him. He took a step back, trying to avoid her.
"She gave you her mirror?! Did she say anything else to you?!" Ashido cried out.
Bakugo's face was almost bright red as she poked his chest.
"Why would I tell you, Raccoon Eyes? Especially you. Ladybug is waiting inside, and we're wasting time talking about this crap," Bakugo asked her as he stomped off into the school.
Everyone looked at Bakugo, and then following him inside. They all walked up the stairs to the classroom once they realized that Marinette and Alya were still in there. They were almost there, when Bakugo stopped in his tracks. Kirishima almost bumped into him and looked at him.
"Bakugo, what is going--"
Kirishima stopped and noticed someone in the classroom with Marinette and Alya. It was Chloe, and Marinette's antennas and wings were exposed, out for everyone to see. Everyone was trying to get a good look at what Bakugo spotted, but then he bolted towards the door and opened it.
Everyone in the classroom looked up, startled to find Bakugo looking a little red in the face. Even Chloe was a little thrown off to see him here so early.
"Katsuki, you made it," Marinette said to him, a little flustered since her antennas were exposed, "And it seems that everyone else has finally shown up."
Bakugo's veins were practically bulging out of his head as she stared at Chloe. Everyone soon filed inside, realizing what had happened while they were gone. Even Adrien and Midoriya were shocked to see Chloe here in the classroom.
"Chl-Chloe? Wha-What are you doing here?!" Midoriya cried out, adjusting his beanie to make sure it wouldn't fall off.
"Well, I knew something was up when I ran into Katsuki. So I ran over here to check on Ladybug and I found Marinette with antennas and wings," Chloe explained to them, "So I kind of found out that she's Ladybug."
Adrien and Midoriya shared a look, wondering if she knew about anything else. They could both feel their cat and rabbit ears almost poking out of their beanies.
"Is there anything else what we might need to know?" Midoriya asked Marinette.
Marinette looked a bit hesitant to say this out loud, but she knew that Adrien had to know about this. She looked at Chloe, and she turned to Adrien. Adrien felt himself stiffen up as her eyes locked onto him.
"You can take off the beanie, Adrien. I know that you're Cat Noir," Chloe said to him, "Marinette told me what's going on with all three of you. I'm here to help."
Adrien and Midoriya stood there completely shocked to see Chloe just sit there next to Marinette as if they had been friends this entire time. Even their classmates and friends were shocked to see her figure it out so quickly.
"So much for these beanies," Adrien said to Midoriya.
Adrien took off his, and black cat ears poked out of his golden hair. Midoriya was a little hesitant to take them off because he felt his looked more ridiculous, but he took it off anyway. Green bunny ears poked out of his dark green hair.
Chloe tried to hold back laughter, but she couldn't hold it back any longer. She let out a burst of laughter, nearly doubled over on the table. Adrien and Midoriya both blushed from embarrassment and were tempted to put the beanies back on.
"Yo-You bo-both look ridiculous!" Chloe laughed out loud, "No wonder you need my help for something like this!"
Midoriya pulled down his bunny ears over his head of hair, and Adrien's ears drooped a little. Once Chloe's laughter died down a little, Uraraka, Adrien and Sato walked up to the table to place down all of the ingredients.
Once Uraraka placed hers down, she noticed a page of the book flipped open to HawkMoth. She didn't even know that HawkMoth had a page of recipes in there. Her eyes sparkled once she had realized that there was something in there that she could use. She subtly glanced back at her bag and noticed that no one had touched it.
Uraraka shook it off for now and turned to Marinette.
"Well, we've got most of the ingredients. There's one there that we couldn't quite figure out."
"Yeah. We couldn't figure it out either," Kirishima said to her as he looked at the list, "Something that can be touched but can't be seen? That doesn't even seem like something you can actually use as an ingredient."
Marinette wasn't upset at all. She was just so glad that they found a lot more than she had expected. She looked down at all of the ingredients and spread them out to look at what they had collected.
She smiled and was ready to start brewing the potion.
Another amazing chapter!
Another short chapter, but it'll definitely be longer the next time! This was just a way to wrap things up with the scavenger hunt! Marinette's going to start brewing a potion together! Chloe's here to help out!
What's going to next happen??
More to come soon!
