Miraculous Gamer Guild Chapter 29: Tipping Scales, a X-overs + Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir Crossover fanfic

Danny: Hello! Ink guy!? Anyone here!?… Not here either. I could have sworn I heard him call me.

Juleka: H…Hello?

Danny: Oh! Hey. You're that shy girl. Juleka, right?

Juleka: Y…yeah.

Danny: This is some crazy story he's reading, right? I mean, pairing some of our friends together romantically. I have half a mind as a big brother to fly in there and have a little talk with that Jon kid about treating my little sister right.

Juleka: Y…yeah. He's even pairing us.

Danny: Blushes. Oh. I remember reading that. I mean, I can kinda get what other me sees. Of course if he could just think about the fact that we can fly across the ocean to see other you…

Juleka: I think Ink actually has something planned that would make him put off that kind of thing. He always has this goofy grin whenever someone mentions it. We probably shouldn't push him into it.

Danny: Good idea. Speaking of… have you seen him? I thought I heard him yell something.

Juleka: I haven't seen him either. I thought I'd find him here because it's that time of the week. He should be updating this story.

Danny: You mean the one on the counter. Looks like a complete chapter. There's a sticky note on the monitor.

Juleka: "Went to find the guy causing dimensional mitosis. Also preparing for finals next week. Lunch is in the fridge. If I'm not back in time, please publish the chapter. Pops."

Danny: Pops?

Juleka: It's what we call him sometimes. I just like to call him Ink though. I think he prefers it.

Danny: Ha! I'll start calling him Pops next time I see him then. Anyway, we probably should start it.

Juleka: I think he recorded review answers. We have to play those first. He's very picky about keeping to form.

Danny: Good catch. Let's start this thing up… Who even uses cassette tapes anymore?

Inkaliber recording: Alright. I should have time to answer some reviews. This is the third recording. I hope I don't mess anything up. Anyway, review time!

Mace- Lol. He does say that doesn't he? Not sure if you're just meaning surprise or if something got you upset.

Gideon_phantom- Why should I tell? Speculation is part of the fun of keeping the mystery. Still, glad that you liked the chapter.

Fregreg- Glad you enjoyed it. I figured it would be good to have Johnny and Kitty try to work harder on their relationship and for Danny to give them a chance. I have tried, but what I've found so far doesn't match your description. A link to what you're talking about would be helpful.

Gundoru- I love Static Shock too! While it may seem obvious, remember that there are other characters within the range of the included series that have electrical powers. I hope that when the truth is fully revealed, it'll be something worth waiting for.

Yeah I figured that it was about time to bring those two in. I really feel like they just needed relationship counseling or something. I like the idea of Danny having more ghost friends when he needs help.

As for that final bit, I figured that would surprise some people. The chapter flow kind of surprised even me on having that pop up early. You'll definitely want popcorn when that pops up.

Mello Dragneel- Yeah I figured that would be the start of the strange happenings. Like I said, chapter flow can take the reins sometimes, but it gives us surprising moments like this. You'll just have to see what's going on when the truth pops up.

KRock_0- Lol, ghostbuster crew. To be fair, I was making a reference to Spider-Man: Homecoming with that one. I'm sure they had the equation right on that one, so I was just going with that moment. Also, who says that you can't have a physics problem as a word problem in math? It's probably weirder than I think, but the question is still valid.

The_Keeper_of_Worlds- Yeah the points keep coming because the chapter flow likes having surprises to throw at me. Heh. Glad I could do good on that scene.

Inkaliber recording:… Did you grab a computer to review? I know you're there.

Deadpool recording: Nope! That's another me in another universe. Trust me, I'd be mixing spoilers with random BLEEP! if that was me.

Inkaliber recording:… Right. Well then.

Deadpool- They certainly have.

PFN- Yep, plot twist! I think you mean Kitty when you say "candy kids" but I'm still glad you liked the overall experience. Who knows what's going on in the GZ?

JackInqu13- Yeah this is the results of him sharing his secret with her. Yeah they really needed this date. We'll just have to see what's up with the Ghost Zone sometime, won't we? It definitely is better for Wayne Tech to get that sample rather than the two you mentioned. I once again hope the same upon you.

LunarCouncillor- Maybe. You'll just have to find out. Also, Static's friend took the hero name Gear, but you were close.

Inkaliber recording: Anyway, that should be all. Which means it's time for you to leave, Wayde. I have a busy day today.

Deadpool recording: Aww man! Fine! Not like I wanted to stay anyway.

Inkaliber recording: Right. I better escort you out. Take it away guys!

Click!

Danny: Looks like that's the end of the recording. So… what do we do now? I'm kinda new at this whole "reading about my alternate self" thing.

Juleka: I was too, and still am. We just have to do the disclaimer and let the chapter run its course. I can go warm up lunch while you look over the machine.

Danny: Nah! I'll take care of lunch. You know more about this than I do. I'll be back!

Juleka:… Sigh. He's really cute… and the mic is recording. Great.

Anyway, let's just get started before I embarrass myself even more. The author doesn't own Miraculous, Danny Phantom, Marvel, DC, or any other series that show up. He does own any original characters, concepts, creatures, and places that work their way into the story unless stated otherwise.

Direct Message between Mousegirl15 and MajorScaless, Chatty

Mousegirl15: Hey Luka! It's been a while.

How are you holding up?

MajorScaless: I've been better.

I'm trying to find out why Juleka is being so secretive.

You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, right?

Mousegirl15: I might.

I promised that I'd let her figure it out and tell you herself though.

She just wants to make sure it's what she thinks before she says anything.

MajorScaless: Alright.

I can respect that if Jules just wants to figure things out.

I just wish that she'd tell me what it is so I can help.

Mousegirl15: She will in time.

You'll just have to trust her on this.

Still, it's good to have people you can trust the way you two trust each other.

MajorScaless: Yeah I heard the details of the DuPont incident.

For what it's worth I'm sorry you had to go through that.

I remember meeting that Lila girl one time and she had the foulest tone I had ever heard from a person.

I never expected Alya to be the same way though.

Mousegirl15: Lila was stringing her along.

There wasn't much of anything I could do.

Still, thank you for the comfort.

I know our break up was a bit harsh, but I'm hoping we can still be friends even after that.

MajorScaless: Marinette, we both were just not in a place where it could work out.

While the romance has gained a sour tone, your friendship alone is a beautiful melody to my ears.

Just remember that you can count on me for anything.

Mousegirl15: I know. That's actually why I messaged you.

Some American friends and I created a gaming and support server.

A lot of my classmates that apologized are in it, including Chloe surprisingly enough.

I was wondering if you'd be interested in joining us too.

MajorScaless: Sure.

I'm not opposed to meeting new people and hearing their melodies.

Mousegirl15: Great! I'll let them know you're coming before I send the link.

Just give me a bit.

MajorScaless: Take your time. I'm just tuning my guitar.

General Chat, Miraculous Gamer Guild Server

Mousegirl15 has logged on.

Mousegirl15: Guys!

I've got some exciting news!

I've convinced MajorScaless to join the chat!

GhostWatcher has logged on.

GQueen has logged on.

Babs21 has logged on.

LadyTigress16 has logged on.

SpiderRose has logged on.

HoneyBee22 has logged on.

SpiderRose: Yay!

More Paris people!

GhostWatcher: Cool!

I have no idea who that is but I'm sure it'll be nice.

NightwingFan: We're probably about to find out, Crash.

Give her or someone else time to explain.

LadyTigress16: Nettie, you invited my brother to the server?

Didn't you guys break up at one point?

Mousegirl15: I know, but we're still good friends.

I figured it would be nice to have a fresh face here in the guild.

We haven't been talking as much lately.

Babs21: I'm cool with it.

It'll be fun to have someone else to smash in Doomed.

Mousegirl15: He's more of a musician than a gamer.

Still, I think you guys will like him.

HoneyBee22: Finally!

I was tired of being the newbie in the group.

He doesn't see me in a bad light like a lot of Paris, right?

Mousegirl15: I've told him about how you came forward and apologized.

You should be fine as soon as you let him know about your personal journey.

I'm sending the invite now.

GQueen: What kind of music does he do?

I'm a fan of music myself.

Mousegirl15: Why don't you ask him yourself?

Watch out! There's a MajorScaless in the grass!

GhostWatcher: Cool username dude.

MajorScaless: Thanks.

Same to you.

What is up with these server announcements?

Babs21: If we knew, we'd tell you.

Our working theory is that it uses an AI to generate greetings based off usernames.

MajorScaless: So it's a mystery.

I dig it.

LadyTigress16: Hey Scaless.

I'm waving from my room.

MajorScaless: Hey.

This is definitely a nice environment.

It's got a sort of chaotic tone that somehow leads to a harmonic melody.

There are a few things out of tune though.

NightwingFan: We try our best to help each other iron out the kinks.

We're still working on it.

SpiderRose: Hi Scaless!

Do the thing where you appraise people based on their tones!

GhostWatcher: He can do what!?

Now that sounds interesting.

NightwingFan: You can actually do that, Scaless?

Heh. We haven't actually asked what names you prefer.

MajorScaless: It's fine.

You've been hitting the mark.

As long as it's not insults I don't really care what you call me.

With how peaceful it feels here, you could even use my real name and I wouldn't be mad.

GhostWatcher: Cool. So… what does my tone say about me?

MajorScaless: It's harder to get a feel over text rather than meeting in person or video call.

So far I'm getting a slightly spooky riff followed by a soothing crescendo.

I'd have to meet you to hear the rest.

SpiderRose: Whoopsie.

I forgot about that part.

Sorry.

Babs21: It's fine Rose.

You were just excited.

Just out of curiosity, what does mine say about me?

I've been trying to find a new username for a while now.

MajorScaless: Yours is actually a bit clearer to hear.

Can't figure out why exactly.

Anyway, yours sounds like a classic piano releasing an exciting melody.

It's like an echo reaching all the way across the ocean.

Babs21: Now that sounds nice.

Ooh! I've got it!

Babs21 changed usernames to GothamEcho

GothamEcho: How does that sound?

NightwingFan: Not bad, Babs.

I give it a 4.5 out of 5.

SpiderRose: Ooh! I like it too!

LadyTigress16: Hard core.

GQueen: I think it's neat.

Yo Scaless?

What kind of music do you do?

MajorScaless: I'm into more classical rock and roll.

No offense to anyone but the kind of music that XY plays just doesn't sit well with me.

GQueen: Who?

LadyTigress16: Let's just say he's a rising artist for a genre we don't like.

GhostWatcher: Well not everyone can be Jagged Stone or Ember McLain.

Say what you want but those two are legends.

Mousegirl15: I can agree with you there.

It's a shame Ember only had one song made.

MajorScaless: I'm not familiar with that artist, but the name does sound familiar.

GothamEcho: Isn't she one of the ghosts of Amity park?

Last I heard she was a little on the evil side.

GhostWatcher: Phantom's working on getting her to cut out the evil crap.

She just hasn't shown up in a while.

HoneyBee22: I'll ask for the album later, but let's change topics.

Anyone wanna do something?

I'm kinda bored right now.

LadyTigress16: We could hop on VC and play some games. That could be fun.

MajorScaless: You're comfortable with voice chat Jules?

These guys must be cool if you want them to hear you.

GhostWatcher: We try to be.

Jules is one of us, so we try to make sure she's included.

Actually, we barely have to do that anymore as she's been rather proactive lately.

LadyTigress16: Well I have all of you to thank for it, especially you Danny.

All of this support has helped me feel more confident, as little as that growth is.

MajorScaless: Huh.

We'll talk about this later Jules.

Anyway, I'm good to hop in the chat and talk.

Like Marinette said, I'm not as big on gaming like everyone else.

GhostWatcher: We'll be happy to have you either way.

Who else is hopping on?

That way we can know what games to look for.

GothamEcho: I'm definitely hopping on.

GQueen: I'll join too, for personal reasons.

NightwingFan: This has nothing to do with your little outbursts, is it?

We've talked about the flirting thing.

GQueen: I thought they were flirting, okay!?

So sue me for getting it wrong!

MajorScaless: Thought who were flirting?

Mousegirl15: We'll talk about that some other time, Scaless.

Are you hopping on, Nightwing?

NightwingFan: Unfortunately I have prior engagements.

Still, have fun guys!

I'll be lurking!

New York City, New York

The city of New York was bustling with vehicles and people of all kinds. Cries of anger could be heard in the midst of traffic jams and from pedestrians on the sidewalks. A few superheroes could even be seen moving through the air, some of them in the midst of fighting crime. In the middle of this city stood a massive tower with a stylized "A" near the top. A humanoid figure in red and gold armor flew onto a massive balcony, lowering down as his armor seemed to break apart into millions of microscopic machines.

He had short black hair, a trimmed brown goatee, and brown eyes. He wore a dark grey business suit with a white dress shirt, black loafers, and a necklace that held a small device that glowed blue. This was Tony Stark, otherwise known as the Ironman. He was a founding member of the avengers and one of the brains of the operation. He smirked as he approached a table.

"Evening everyone." Greeted Tony. "Sorry for being late. I had to clean up one of SHIELD's messes for them… again. Gosh that Fury needs to hire better guys. He's not… here yet is he?"

The people at the table gave him no response as they looked right at him. "He's right behind me, isn't he?" He quickly looked behind himself, only to see no one as a feminine chuckle filled the room.

"No, but it's funny to see you react that way." Replied a woman at the table. She had medium length red hair, fair skin, and green eyes. She wore a black jacket over a red tank top shirt, black jeans, crimson red flats, and long grey bracelets on her wrists. This was Natasha Romanoff: The Black Widow. Someone next to her chuckled as he crossed his arms.

He had short blond hair and blue eyes, his body being well toned from exercise. He wore a black t-shirt depicting a target with three arrows in the bullseye, blue jeans, a ring on his finger, and grey tennis shoes. This was Clint Barton, AKA, Hawkeye. He was well known as the sharpshooter of the team, never missing his shot. Another man walked into the room, rolling up his sleeves.

"You're late Tony." Greeted the man. He had short curly brown hair, brown eyes, and slightly tanned skin. He wore a purple dress shirt, khakis pants, a pair of black glasses, a watch on his wrist, and black dress shoes. This was Bruce Banner: the Incredible Hulk. Tony gestured to the room with a mock groan.

"Did you not hear about the clean up job?" questioned the Ironman. "Literally. I actually had to pick up after the criminals and…" A yawn interrupted the billionaire's rant. The sound of a heavy object being placed down caught the group's attention as they looked to the other side of the table.

Sitting down was a rather buff man with long blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. He was currently wearing a dark grey muscle shirt, black slacks, and boots that looked to be in an archaic style. The hammer by his seat could tell even the most unobservant person who this was. The Mighty Thor had made his presence known as he cracked his neck. He sent a smile Tony's way as he rubbed his wrist.

"It is understandable to be delayed by the heat of battle, Stark." Agreed Thor. "Still, you are usually faster to deal with these kinds of situations. Perhaps you should have called it in so that I could have assisted you. Then it would have been much more favorable." Tony shook his head as he took his seat.

"Well excuse me if our little intern decided to join in on the fight. Steve and I had to give him some pointers and make sure he wasn't running late for anything. If anything, Steve is later than me." As soon as those words left his mouth, a ding rang through the air. Three people walked out of the elevator, causing Tony to smirk in success.

The first person of note was a teen with short brown hair, pale skin, and green eyes. He wore a grayish-blue sweater over a plaid dress shirt, a black backpack that looked futuristic in design, greenish-beige cargo pants, and brown tennis shoes. This was Peter Parker, the intern Tony just mentioned. He was brought into the team as a form of mentorship after they saw what he was capable of. He smiled as he waved at the group.

"Hey guys!" cheered Peter. "According to Mr. Stark and Cap, I'm getting a lot better." Thor chuckled as he nodded from his seat.

"Verily!" agreed the blonde Asgardian. "You have been doing well in your training, young Parker. It surprises me not that the foe was within your capabilities." Peter rubbed his nose as he let loose an embarrassed chuckle. A sturdy hand was placed on his shoulder, causing him to look back.

The hand belonged to another blonde haired, blue eyed man. He was currently wearing a spandex suit styled after the American flag, a beige belt with a few pouches, and a shield upon his back. This was Captain Steve Rogers, aka Captain America. He was the official leader of the team and a powerful opponent to face in his own right. Peter shrunk a bit, not sure what the super soldier's expression could be. To his relief, the captain sent him a soft smile.

"Just remember that modesty is just as important as strength." Reminded Steve. "No one is immune to their own pride or ego. Not even people like Thor or me. Especially not people like Scott." The third man groaned as he rubbed his temples.

Said man had short black hair, a five o'clock shadow beard, and blue eyes. He wore a simple grey t-shirt, a black jacket, black jeans, and a pair of worn brown loafers. This was Scott Lang: The Ant Man. He was a relatively new Avenger himself, as well as the newest Ant Man after Hank Pym. He looked to his superior with a hurt frown.

"Really?" asked the shrinking man. "Is Sam still talking about the cake incident?" Natasha decided to lean forward with a teasing smirk.

"Scott, everyone is still talking about the cake incident." Revealed the redhead. "It's the joke of the month." The embarrassed hero groaned in response to this news as he adjusted his jacket. He really didn't need this flack as the new guy. All chatter and banter paused as a final individual made himself known.

"Save the chit-chat for later." Ordered the newcomer. He was a bald African-American man with one visible brown eye, an eyepatch that covered the other, and a dark brown goatee. He wore a black trench coat, a dark gray sweater, black jeans, a black leather belt, and black loafers. This was Nick Fury: Director of Shield. He first brough the Avengers together in the world's time of need and now acts as another pair of ears when it comes to looking for trouble.

He waited for everyone to be seated before stepping closer to the main table. "I assume you didn't call me here to hear about this cake incident, which I want details on later." Scott harrumphed as he slightly raised his hands into the air, allowing them to drop back down. Bruce quickly typed into a holographic keyboard, the glass windows of the room tinting in response. The room darkened before a holographic projector displayed an image of the city of Paris.

"A few weeks ago, Jen decided to take a vacation to Paris after a few tough court cases." Informed the scientist. "Last time she was there, she mentioned that everyone looked rather tense about a certain situation involving a local high school." Peter sounded his interest as he leaned forward.

"I remember my French teacher talking about this at one point." Piped up the young spider. He began to feel awkward when everyone had their eyes on him, only to quickly realize that they were waiting for him to share. "She said her cousin in the city was stressed out even though it didn't apply to her. She never mentioned what was making her cousin so nervous." Bruce nodded as he began to type into the holographic keyboard once again.

"Well just last week she found out exactly what the problem was." He brought up several displays, each of them displaying villains and monsters on the rampage. "She had to send these directly through the Avengers private connection from the sites she found them on. Paris has been under information lock down for quite some time." Thor leaned forward as he looked over a few of the monsters.

"Odin's beard!" Exclaimed the Asgardian. "I had no idea you had golems in Midgard." Clint leaned forward as he focused on one of the villains.

"Forget that." Interrupted the archer. "Is that fat Son Goku look-alike using a pizza sword? I've heard of sharp cheddar but that's ridiculous." Most of the adults in the room groaned while Scott and Peter did their best not to chuckle. Bruce shook his head as he gestured to the whole collection.

"Believe it or not, these are all regular people." Informed Dr. Banner. His team and even Fury looked to him in shock as he went back to typing. "Apparently each and every one of these individuals were transformed by magical butterflies known as Akumas. The cause of this transformation is by this man." He then showed an image of Hawkmoth, one of his rare appearances in public.

The Avengers looked the villain over, most of them committing his details to memory. "He goes by Hawkmoth. Apparently he uses a magic jewel called a Miraculous to turn civilians into his attack dogs, so long as they're in emotional stress and are weak willed enough to be controlled. His goal is to capture the other Miraculous that are found in Paris." Tony chuckled as he shook his head.

"Really?" questioned the billionaire. "Hawkmoth? Miraculous? This has got to be a joke, right?" Thor frowned as he leaned forward, glaring at Stark.

"Watch your tongue, Stark." Warned the mighty warrior. "I have had interactions with the Miraculous in the past. There are a few Miraculous in the care of my mother, Frigga. This is no laughing matter." Tony was unintimidated as he slightly sat up.

"Still, Hawkmoth? Who does this guy's naming?" Nick Fury cleared his throat, garnering silence in the room once again.

"Can we please continue?" questioned the super spy. He heard no further interruptions as he nodded his head. "Thank you. Dr. Banner." Bruce nodded as he quickly began to type into the system more.

"Paris citizens have tried to reach out to us and the Justice League in the past but the government has kept anything going to us quiet." Resumed the scientist. "Jen confirmed that it was only recently that the Justice League took full notice due to one of its members considering their calls to be pranks. She has also confirmed that Paris is not under apocalyptic conditions at the moment. That is in huge part thanks to a small local group known as the Miraculous Heroes." Bruce immediately had an article displaying the trio in question pop up, Scott jerking a bit as he sat up.

"A bunch of kids are dealing with this!?" questioned the Ant Man. "I mean no wonder the government doesn't want anyone knowing about this. They can't be older than Pete here. No offense kid." Peter frowned as he looked Scott's way.

"Hey!" cried the spider hero. "I actually take great offense to that." Both stopped their argument before it began as Steve leaned forward.

"Scott's right about one thing, they're definitely on the young side." Grumbled the captain. "What do we know about them?" Tony decided to take over the screen, swiping across his side of the table enough times until the keyboard was at his hands.

"Well according to this article, not much." Commented Ironman. "The cat guy has a staff, can destroy stuff with his powers, has a deathly annoying penchant for puns, and is basically calling himself 'Black Cat' in French." Peter groaned to himself as he rubbed his face with his hands. He just hoped that this Black Cat wasn't as annoying as the one he had to fight lately. Nick looked like he wanted context, only for Natasha to shake her head.

She made it very clear that it wasn't important to the conversation as Tony continued. "The bee girl can fly, stun one person with a magic stinger, and is the newest one of the group. Sound familiar, Tic-tac? All she's missing is the shrinking and growing." Scott let loose a mock laugh as he slouched back in his chair.

Tony finally got to a spot about Ladybug as he began to read over the details. "And this here is their little leader, Ladybug. Apparently she's the brains of the operation, talks with the victims after they kick their… butts, creates random objects that end up saving the day, and… can reverse all the damages from their fights…" This got looks from everyone at the table, even the ever stoic Fury. Natasha huffed as she slid the article her way.

"Well that's not entirely fair, is it?" asked the Black Widow. "How come we can't magic away our collateral damage? Senator Ross would be off our backs if we could just snap everything back to normal." Bruce finally had enough as he quickly swiped the article back his way. He cleared his throat as he prepared to speak once more.

"Anyway, they're a big deal in Paris." Resumed the scientist. "Hawkmoth is more specifically after Ladybug and Chat Noir's Miraculous. His endgame is to retrieve the jewels, no matter how much of Paris he has to ruin to get them." There was a pregnant pause in the room, the implications weighing on the people's minds. Steve growled as he pushed his seat back, quickly standing up.

"I say we've been sitting here long enough." Growled the soldier. "We need to get there, now. Have someone fire up the Quinn Jet. Scott and Peter can handle things here for a…" Nick Fury quickly held his hand up, causing Steve to stop.

"Not so fast Cap." Denied the spy. "At this rate, you'll only be adding fuel to the fire. Miraculous are a touchy subject, even for SHIELD." Most of the Avengers looked his way, save for the spies among them. Thor squeezed his fists as a vein popped up on his forehead.

"So you knew of this?" questioned the mighty warrior. "The whole time?" Fury took a moment to think as he shook his head.

"I have had run ins with Miraculous guardians in the past. If I knew about their involvement in Paris going radio silent on certain reports I would have sent agents there personally. Might have even gone there in person. The important thing, is that this is not a situation where we can solve it by throwing men at it senselessly." Steve thought for a moment before sitting back down.

"So… we just do nothing?" questioned Scott from his seat. "If it's that bad for this moth guy to get his hands on more of these things, we need to do something." Fury looked among the group, noticing their expressions.

"If the Justice League has indeed gained intel on the situation before us, then it's safe to assume they'll try to contact the guardians soon. If we can listen in on that meeting, we might be able to find a way to safely insert ourselves into their operation. We have a common enemy in Hawkmoth and his akumas. I know there's been some rivalries between some of you and certain League members but it's time to put that away. The world as we know it is at stake."

Another pause filled the room. It was clear that the group as a whole was thinking on this tense situation. Steve looked Bruce's way with a nod.

"Have Jen keep an eye on the situation in Paris." Ordered the captain. "With any luck we can learn more about what's going on at the ground level." Bruce didn't like the idea, though he nodded nonetheless. "Clint, Natasha…" The archer of the duo held his hands up in defense.

"Hold on there, Cap." Interrupted Clint. "If you're thinking what I'm thinking, only one of us has the actual skill to get close enough." Natasha smirked as she leaned back a bit. Steve nodded as he looked towards Thor. The son of Odin stood up as he grabbed Mjolnir.

"I shall take leave to Asgard." Informed the warrior. "Mayhap my mother can shed some light on what this 'Hawkmoth' hopes to gain." He began to walk out of the room, quickly rubbing Peter atop his head. "Keep up your routine, young Parker." Peter sounded off his annoyance as the Asgardian continued on his way.

"I'll try running recognition software on what we have access to." Revealed Tony. "With any luck we can somewhat bypass any magical bull that might get in the way of determining an identity. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and try to explain to Pepper why I'll have to clear my appearances for a few days. Wish me luck." Tony left the room faster than Thor did, leaving the remaining people in silence.

"Sounds like you've got everything in order, Captain." Commented Director Fury. "I'll keep more open ears in Paris. With any luck we'll be able to catch any outgoing information before the French government can pull the plug on it." Steve nodded as Nick Fury disappeared much in a similar manner as he appeared. The leader then looked to the remaining team with a nod.

"Until we have more information, the rest of you go back to business as usual." Ordered the captain. "This meeting is adjourned." Most of the people began to leave the room, having their own ideas in mind. Steve stopped for a moment as he looked back towards Peter, seeing that the boy was still sitting at the table. The boy quickly waved to him with a smile.

"I'll be heading out in a minute." Reassured the spider hero. "I just wanna look over the details real quick." Steve tried to read the boy's expression, only to nod before continuing on his way out. Peter took a deep breath once he found himself to be alone. He looked out over all the seats, a small frown on his face.

He was happy to be here amongst his favorite heroes, but every now and then he felt out of place. This feeling was magnified when he laid eyes on the empty seat of the Black Panther. He quickly shook his head, remembering what he set out to do. He pulled up the articles to begin his own research, stopping for a moment as he noticed a picture of Chat Noir carrying a girl to safety. From what the report says, the girl was a well known local named Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

"Wow. She's kinda cute."

Danny: Cool! So that's the chapter. It was neat seeing how things played out. Looks like not only did that Babs chick get a new name for herself, but those Avenger guys are getting ready to throw themselves into the mix. Looks like someone's also got their eyes set on a recently open girl.

Juleka: I had a feeling this was coming. Pops would chuckle whenever someone pointed out that moment a few good chapters back. I just hope it works out. I may be a total Adrinette/Ladynoir shipper myself, but this is cute all the same. I think we've pretty much covered the important things to comment on.

Danny: Except for the fact that this Black Panther guy was a no show to that meeting.

Juleka: That feels like one of the things that wasn't supposed to be a big detail. For all we know he could have been unavailable. In any case, it's best to let Pops have his secrets and surprises.

Danny: You're probably right. Hey, wanna close up the chapter and grab some ice cream? If we're quick we could sneak away with it so that no one makes us share.

Juleka: Wouldn't that be wrong? What would we even do with a whole carton of ice cream?

Danny: Not a whole one. Just some cones or maybe one that's almost finished. Learn to live adventurously for a change.

Juleka:… Alright. It's a date.

Danny: Sputters. A d…date!?

Juleka: Burns as bright as a tomato. I… I meant the phrase. U…unless you… maybe…

Danny:… We'll talk about this later. Let's just close the chapter. I'm a bit shocked still so…

Juleka: Right. What did you guys think of the chapter? Did you like Luka's arrival in the guild? How about the scene with the Avengers? Write your reviews down below and Pops will get back to you as soon as possible, the next chapter at the latest.

Please be understanding if he doesn't post any chapters next week due to finals being held then. This is Juleka…

Danny: And Danny… Just go with it.

Juleka & Danny: Signing out.
