Inkaliber: Hey everyone! This chapter is a long time in the making. A convergence of do-gooders. A union of light. A… Meeting of Heroes!...

Alix: Boo!

Adrien: Aww come on! I liked it.

Jessie: Adrien, sweetheart, you're not exactly an expert when it comes to joke and pun making.

James: I give it a four out of ten. The buildup was nice but the choice of terms were subpar.

Marinette: I like it Mr. Ink but you should probably just stick to normal intros.

Inkaliber: Ugh. You're probably right. Anyway, let's start some…

Meowth: Wait! We're here!

Sabrina: Sorry we're late guys. I was brushing Meowth's fur. He wanted to look nice.

Kim: Dudes, with how much time you spend together you'd think you were trainer and Pokemon.

Meowth: Yep! We're two peas in da pod!

Sabrina: Of course Meowth is still a wild pokemon. I'm just happy to have someone to talk to outside our normal group.

Inkaliber: This is nice and all but can I please read some reviews?... Thank you. Now let's begin.

Fregreg- Yeah I can see what you mean. I was basically treating the time it took Dick to explain why the window was open for her to figure it out. Guess I should have had her put a little more thought into it. Oh well! Now I know how to handle this kind of situation if it pops up again in the future.

ChikoTRQX- Oh the conversation will be interesting. As to how this conversation is handled, you're about to see for yourself.

myslef- Well this is Scarlet and Violet we're talking about. Unless Bulbasaur is added to the game that probably won't be the case. Here's hoping that he's in the dlc.

The_Keeper_of_Worlds- I'm glad you think so. Hopefully this chapter delivers the epicness for you.

Gundoru- I'm glad you like the idea for his game. Both of these object ideas sound interesting, but the latter probably wouldn't work in the context of the game. I kinda skipped over Kujo was because I forgot about the squeaky toy, plus this just kinda felt right.

I've been looking forward to writing Dick's reaction ever since I finished planning this first part of the story, so I hope this will indeed be a fun one. I like all these team ideas, though I probably would have given Juleka some ghost types, especially as her and Danny get closer. Get ready as the dominoes are about to start toppling.

KTamao205- Yeah I kinda had a good laugh when writing that end bit. I like all of these pokemon team ideas.

anon- At least Danny and Marinette's anyways. I haven't thought that far into Max's game. That's an interesting take on what Chloe would have. I'll have to think on it.

Mace- Alright, so this one's more of a warning for you Nettie. I will inform you Mace that she doesn't actually read fanfics about herself unless it's one that changes the canon entirely. Such as someone else becoming Ladybug.

Marinette: It kinda feels odd reading about myself. I know that might not be the case for everyone but it is for me. It's neat to see how other people would have fared in my place though.

Adrien: Of course you gotta remember that you're the best of the best. No one's better than my Mari-bug. You know that, right?

Marinette: Oh Adrien! You're embarrassing me!

Inkaliber: Get a room you two. Anyway, back to reviews.

Guipa- Yes he has. I promise Kagami and Luka are coming. It's just going to be a while as I've carefully planned out the story. I can also promise Adrien is coming too. I know you're excited but please be patient.

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings with the Packers thing, but she's also probably got bad memories that make it hard to like the team. I'm glad I could excite you with Connor though. I have made it obvious that some Young Justice renditions of characters do exist haven't I? Guess you'll just have to wait and see.

wechard- Lol. I guess time will tell if Dick does tell Bruce that far into it. Thanks for the extra kudos!

ZeroKnight01- Yeah I guess I did jump the gun. It kinda needed to happen so I figured Raven would be the one to figure it out. I'll be handling it in this chapter so hopefully it'll be better. Glad the rest of last chapter was good though.

NitwitNobody (Justice_of_Saints)- I'm glad you like the BlackSpecter ship. Currently Juleka has not become Purple Tigress yet. It's pretty much a given she will at some point though. I love the way you described the hero dynamic of the trio, lol.

That_ENFP_Guy- I know that's not your name but I'd rather not type out the last part of it. I would prefer if it weren't there though I can't control what you do. Anyway, moving on.

Lol. Halfa price. As for the zeta tube thing… we shall see.

Speedykitten1643- Yeah. She'll definitely have a freak out. You'll just have to wait and see on everything else.

Wingd_Knight- Yeah. This felt like a good time to start bringing things together hero-wise. I also wanted to show that Dick and Kori are so close that Dick has started to pick up some of her goofiness and phrases. I like the item ideas you came up with. I find it interesting that Danny has indeed used a sword at least once.

As a bit of confirmation, it's known as either Danny X Juleka or BlackSpecter. That's what I'm deciding to call it anyways. I see someone caught on to what was going on there. Good eye mate. Hope I can deliver on what you're wanting.

Adrien: He says as he writes down a suggestion.

Inkaliber: Does someone not want to go for pizza when we're done here?

Adrien: I didn't say anything!

Inkaliber: That's what I thought. Anyway…

CyberGeist- I guess Danny has become like a younger brother to the whole group (sans Juleka) hasn't he? Also yeah that boy has a lot of trauma. Oh it'll be a fun ride when the bat crew fully gets involved. Sam really does need to just let it out. Guess she's just stubborn with what she wants.

Inkaliber: Alright. Let's get this thing started. I don't own Miraculous, Danny Phantom, Marvel, DC, or any other series that show up here. I do own any original characters, concepts, creatures, and places that work their way into the story unless stated otherwise. Hit it!

Amity Park, Illinois

Phantom zoomed across the sky, scaring some birds as he flew straight past them. He was currently trying to get to school on time, having stayed up late talking with the guild and finishing some homework. He honestly thanked their support that he was able to pick his grades back up. He found himself getting more Bs than As, but that was honestly better than anything he could ask for. His mind went to his hopeful A, when a familiar blue trail of cold left his mouth.

"Are you kidding me!?" groaned the ghost boy. Danny was answered by a rocket hurtling towards his way, forcing him to duck as it crashed into one of the birds he accidentally scared. "Birdie no!" The hero growled as he turned to the one who fired the rocket. He groaned on the inside as a familiar laugh got his attention.

"Going somewhere, Whelp?" asked a deep masculine voice. The owner appeared to be a metal man with electric green eyes, electric green flaming hair and goatee, and jagged teeth. He wore a black tank top and pants, a dark gray shoulder guard on his left shoulder, a dark gray belt that was slung across his chest, dark gray gauntlets, a gray utility belt with a blue "S" on the buckle, gray boots with blue laces and a necklace with a white skull on it. This was Skulker, the self-proclaimed "Ghost Zone's Greatest Hunter." Danny rolled his eyes in annoyance, not amused in the slightest.

"Can we do this later Skulker? I have to turn in this homework and I'd rather it not become a B due to tardiness." Skulker growled as he remained floating in place.

"I've been waiting for this moment for so long. Here you are, all alone with no one to help you. You are also on a time crunch. This is the perfect situation to finally skin you of your pelt, and a good hunter always…" He was interrupted by an ecto-blast that sent him flying a few feet backwards.

"Look I don't have time for this so let's make this quick. Get ready to be thermos-ed." Skulker quickly threw his gloved hand forward, allowing a gun barrel to pop up from the back of his hand. Danny kicked him away before he could fire the net, causing it to crash into a nearby lamppost.

Danny quickly put his recent training to action as he grabbed Skulker's arm and spun him into a hard punch. Thankfully Danny had charged up ecto-energy in order to protect his hand from the metal of the villain. He then grabbed his opponent's ankle before he could go flying off, spinning around before crashing the hunter against the ground. He flew down after his opponent, his eyes glowing blue. He fired icy energy, intent on freezing his target.

Skulker held his arms forward, two tubes popping out of his palms. Streams of green fire flew forward, contesting with the cold attack. Danny stopped his own attack as he floated in place, only to gasp as the hunter suddenly crashed into him. They had to go intangible in order to keep from crashing into a nearby wall. They returned to normal as Danny rolled across the floor of a parking garage. Skulker chuckled as he rolled his shoulders, landing on the ground.

"Like my improvements? Plasmius gave me some new tech from a partner company. I think it was Lex…something. I don't care." Danny tried to get a sneak hit in, but Skulker quickly grabbed his arm.

A zapping sound caught the boy's attention, though he was too late to react. He was suddenly electrified as Skulker's arms glowed blue. With a hard punch, Skulker launched Danny into a closet door. "You're the perfect test run." The villain failed to notice as a dark figure began to rise behind him.

He allowed electricity to flow into ghostly whips as he grinned. "This is the end for yo…" The villain screamed as he found himself pulled backwards by a dark energy. He crashed into a concrete support before being pulled two floors down. He landed on the ground, groaning as the shadowy figure stepped into the light.

"You talk too much." critiqued a feminine voice. Skulker looked up in anger, only for his eyes to widen in shock. Raven of the Titans floated before him, her energy still glowing in her hands. "Make this easy on yourself, or don't." The hunter growled as he stood up.

"I know you, Trigon's brat. Not a spirit in existence goes without hearing the prophecy of your father. You shall prove a marvelous catch for my collection. I'll get to put my taxidermy to practice." Raven rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"My how heartless of you. Whatever will I do?" Skulker growled as he prepared to activate his tech, only for his face to turn black. Raven forced it open, revealing that it was a hatch rather than an actual face. In the middle of the compartment sat a small green glob with red eyes and a set of arms and legs.

"Hey!" cried the real Skulker. "That's cheating!" He was quickly wrapped in the seating of his chair and pulled out of the suit. The metallic body clanked as it hit the ground. Raven held him in place as she looked unamused.

"Next time, fight someone your own size." Skulker growled in anger, only for Raven to open a book with a glyph. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" The glyph glowed as a miniature ghost portal swirled into existence. Skulker seethed in anger as he was forced rapidly towards the green spiral.

"You'll pay for this!" The tiny villain looked ready to yell more when he went through the portal. Raven quickly closed the book, causing the portal to collapse. She flew back up from whence she came, finding Danny still groaning from the pain. She used a minor healing spell on him before disappearing into the darkness.

"My head." groaned Danny as he sat up. He shook his head as he tried to regain his senses. His eyes widened as he remembered what last occurred. "Skulker!" Danny growled in anger as he tried to locate the hunter he was fighting.

He looked down where Raven had juts defeated the villain, only his faceplate remaining. He sounded his confusion as he flew down. He picked up the object, inspecting it for any clues. "Why would he leave me alone with nothing but a faceplate behind?" He looked around for any signs of his enemy, but he would find none.

Danny looked outside to continue his search, only to gasp as he saw a nearby clock. "I have five minutes left! I'm gonna be late!" Danny sped away from the area, keeping the faceplate in his bag. He would thankfully make it on time, but this mystery would plague his mind for the rest of the first period.


Paris, France

The people of Paris screamed in fear as a massive shadow flew through the sky. It looked to be a hybrid between a prehistoric creature and a bird. Its wing crashed against a building, causing the wall to break. It quickly landed in a nearby park, creating a cloud of dust. The debris began to settle, revealing the creature.

It had dark grey scales, dark green reflective feathers, three toed feet similar to a Hollywood Velociraptor, massive bird-like wings, long neck, and a golden band around its ankle. The creature suddenly poked its head forward, revealing that it resembled a massive pigeon in appearance. It let out a monstrous roar, only pausing when it saw breadcrumbs on the ground. It quickly cooed as it began to eat the pieces of food. A weird cooing laugh quickly rang out across the area.

Upon the creature's back was an olive skinned man with orange eyebrows and strong gold eyes. He wore a full body skin-tight jumpsuit with black forearms, waist and thighs, dark gray belly, light gray chest, shoulder and biceps, and pale, light grayish amaranth shins and head. The suit also has black stripes on his triceps and around his upper hips, along with two lozenge light-blue diamonds where his bow tie was. He seems to still carry a bird call whistle around his neck. The man put his arms in the chicken dance position before flapping them excitedly.

"Dreary day, citizens of Paris!" greeted the man. "For I, Mr. Pigeon, have returned to bring justice for all my feathered friends! Joining me this time is my loyal steed, the Pigeon Dragon: Gertrude!" The pigeon had its head stuck in a bag, causing it to look around in confusion. "Um… Gertrude."

Mr. Pigeon pulled the bag off the monster's head, allowing it to see the nearby people. It quickly roared at them, causing them to run in fear. "Soon Paris will belong to the pigeons! No one can stop me!" He was soon caught off guard as a piece of debris fell from a nearby roof.

"You and your new pet aren't causing any more damage, Mr. Pigeon!" declared a familiar voice. The people cheered at the sight of Ladybug and the Miraculous Heroes. Honey Bee and Chat Noir stood on opposite sides of her, their weapons drawn. Gertrude growled as her feathers ruffled up. Mr. Pigeon calmed her down as he grinned evilly.

"Just the heroes we were looking for. Once we have your Miraculous, our dreams will be realized! Rooo! Rooo! Take flight Gertrude!"

The Pigeon Dragon flapped its wings as it rose into the air. The monster roared as it rocketed straight at the heroes. Ladybug quickly latched her yoyo onto a nearby building.

"Spread out!" The heroes quickly jumped in different directions, Honey Bee taking flight. Gertrude quickly took off after the bee hero, hunger in its eyes. As it grew closer it made attempts to bite at her. Mr. Pigeon cooed his weird laugh once again as Honey Bee dodged another attack.

"Buzz off birdbrain!" cried Chloe. "I'm not a snack!" She quickly kicked the creature's head, causing it to rear back. Mr. Pigeon tried to reach for her Miraculous as his ride moved, only to be knocked off the bird by Chat Noir's staff. He blew into his bird whistle, causing a flock of pigeons to catch him and lower him to the ground.

"Looks like you're going 'do…'" began Chat Noir as he landed before the villain. He suddenly sneezed as a feather flew by his face. He sneezed again as he tried to finish the pun. "Stupid feather allergy." Mr. Pigeon cooed in anger.

"Don't get cocky Chat Noir!" cried the bird man. "I shall defeat you and deliver your Miraculous to Hawkmoth!" The villain went to land a punch on the cat hero, only for the boy to block it and push him back. They fought back and forth for a bit before Chat looked like another sneeze was coming on. "I've got you…!"

The villain went to try and pin the hero, only for said cat boy to grin as he squatted down and grabbed the man's bird whistle. "…now?" Chat quickly spun out from under the villain, yanking off the whistle and sending him crashing to the ground. Chat smirked as he stood to his feet, dropping the object. He quickly smashed it with his staff.

"Looks like the day is saved!" Chat grinned at his success, only to see no butterfly fly out of the whistle. He looked down in confusion before quickly realizing what happened. "The akuma's not in his whistle this time!" Ladybug quickly pushed him out of way, just in time to save him from a punch by Mr. Pigeon.

"We have to find the akuma if we want to end this!" cried lucky hero. "Anyone got an idea?" She quickly had to dodge another attack as a flock of pigeons came flying at her. Up above Honey Bee had to dodge out of the way of Gertrude's talons, getting a clear view of the bird's leg. She went to kick the golden band on its leg, only for the monster to flap backwards defensively.

"This flying rat seems to be guarding its band pretty heavily!" cried out the bee hero. "I think that's the akuma!" Gertrude growled, seemingly angry about the rat comment. It breathed a strange pink fire at her, causing her to dodge out of the way. It timed it's movement right, however, as it quickly caught her in the flame's path.

"HONEY BEE!" cried both Ladybug and Chat Noir. Their companion quickly fell towards the ground, seemingly undamaged by the flame. Ladybug held Mr. Pigeon's attention as Chat vaulted over to the third hero. He caught her in his arms as he landed on the ground with a thud. He looked to her as she moaned in discomfort.

"Honey Bee!" cried the cat boy. "Are you alright?" Honey Bee's eyes suddenly opened as wide as saucers as she looked around.

"ROO!" cried the bee hero. "ROO!" She hopped her way out of Chat's arms, quickly walking around like she was a pigeon. Her bee wings seemed to be forgotten to her as she tried to use her arms to fly. Chat sounded his confusion as he turned back towards Ladybug.

"She's acting like a pigeon!" cried the cat hero. "Steer clear of Pigeodactyl's flames! It makes you think you're a pigeon!" Ladybug dodged out of the way of Mr. Pigeon's next punch, sending a nod back to her partner. She had to perform a flip to escape another kick, time seeming to slow as she landed on another roof.

"I might need to use a lucky charm for this." Growled the Ladybug hero. She was about to do so when she noticed the warm breath behind her. She leapt forward in order to dodge, thankfully avoiding the pink flames of the Pigeon Dragon. She tried to yoyo its mouth shut, but the beast caught the object in its mouth. It quickly used this opportunity to throw its target into the air, preparing another pink flame.

"Ladybug!" Chat quickly leapt through the air, pushing his teammate out of the way. He ended up taking the full flame as Ladybug rolled across the ground. She soon came to a stop, groaning as she rubbed her head. Her eyes widened as she saw Chat land on the ground.

"Chat?" Her question was answered with more cooing as her first partner suddenly jumped up. He mimicked Chloe's earlier actions as he strutted around, sometimes pecking towards the ground. Ladybug felt her confidence drop as two of her teammates were now under the akuma's affect. She heard a familiar laugh as Mr. Pigeon giddily approached the scene.

"Oh glorious day for the pigeons!" cried the man in happiness. He cooed a few times as he flapped his arms. "The day is mine!" His excitement was quickly added to by a familiar butterfly mark appearing in front of his face. The triumphant cackle of Hawkmoth could be heard in the man's head.

"Yes!" cried the butterfly villain. "Yes! This is the moment I have been waiting for! Bring me their Miraculous, and the day shall be ours!" Gertrude landed on the ground, standing menacingly over Ladybug.

The lucky hero couldn't believe her eyes. Did they really just lose after all the work they put in trying to be a team? The monster before her began to power up another pink flame, intent on winning the day. Before it could, however, something landed on its beak. A green frog broke its focus, hitting the monster's eye with its tongue.

Gertrude roared in pain as it ran around, trying to get the amphibian off. The frog held onto its back as the beast ran around the area. This distracted Mr. Pigeon from removing Chat Noir's ring as he looked to the scene.

"What's wrong Gertrude!?" cried the concerned pigeon lover. "Calm down or…" Suddenly the frog disappeared, seeming to shrink into the back of the pigeon dragon's neck. The beast blinked as it felt a jolt in its body. Irritated by a sudden bite, the beast unleashed pink flames on its master.

"No!" cried Hawkmoth from his lair. All he heard was Mr. Pigeon was uncharacteristic cooing, at least more than usual, as he now believed he was a pigeon. Gertrude flew into the air before another bite caused it to fall into a nearby building. Ladybug quickly stood up, trying to see what was happening through the debris. The monster quickly stood up, still obscured by the fog of war around it.

It heard a noise and turned to strike, only to be met by a terrifying sight. A massive green ankylosaur stood before it. The dinosaur roared as it whipped its tail into the beast, sending it hurtling out the other side of the building. The creature then turned into a pterodactyl as it flew after the falling pigeon dragon. The monster crashed into the ground, the dinosaur flapping as it landed on the ground.

Gertrude quickly turned its head, unleashing a pink flame upon the creature. It stopped as the smoke from nearby bushes covered where the dinosaur was. The monster's eyes widened as a gorilla walked out of the smoke, seemingly unfazed by the attack. The ape grabbed the golden band, popping it off like an id band. It quickly dropped the object on the ground, turning into a T-Rex in order to crush it underfoot.

The strange dinosaur lifted its foot, the destroyed object lying in pieces on the ground. By the time Ladybug arrived in the area, all she saw was a confused pigeon and the familiar purple butterfly trying to fly away. She was confused as to where the strange frog went, but she pushed that down in favor of finishing things.

"No more evil doing for you little akuma." Declared the bug girl. She quickly caught the akuma with her now open yoyo, catching the object in her hand. She opened the top, unleashing a white butterfly. "Bye-bye, little butterfly." The insect flew into the sky, disappearing from sight.

She hummed as she looked to her yo-yo. "Well, I need one anyways. LUCKY CHARM!" Her yoyo span in the air as usual, the swarm of magical ladybugs forming an object. She caught the object as it fell towards the ground.

She opened her hand, revealing a small fridge magnet in the shape of a capital "T." Deciding not to question it, she throws the object into the air. "MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!" With that familiar call, the swarm dispersed, fixing everything in its wake. Back at his layer, Hawkmoth was seething.

"Blast it! All of this because of a shapeshifter! Wait…. There are no miraculous with this kind of power. Could it be… an outside source?" The villain's window closed as he began to ponder the events of the battle.

Back with the heroes, the ladybugs began to finish their rounds of the city as they flew over Chat Noir and Honey Bee. The duo quickly stood up straight, looking around in confusion. They looked to where Mr. Pigeon was still acting like his namesake. He was finally grabbed by the ladybugs and carried off to their point of origin. This meant that Mr. Pigeon appeared before Ladybug, a dark shroud appearing over him as he returned to normal.

He was revealed to have a full head of orange hair, though this was hidden under his gray hat. He also wore a dark gray waistcoat decorated with a square pattern, a white shirt, a big teal bow tie, dark green vest and brown sandals worn with white socks. The bird call that was around his neck restored to its original form as well. His civilian identity was Mr. Xavier Ramier, a pigeon enthusiast. He groaned as he moved to a sitting position, the pigeon that was his monster landing on his shoulder.

"What happened Gertrude?" asked the man. Ladybug sighed, happy to see that things were back to normal. She turned around as Chat and Honey Bee landed on the ground.

"Ladybug!" cried the cat hero. "You did it! You beat Mr. Pigeon and his Pigeodactyl! I knew you would." Chloe sighed in disappointment as she rubbed her arm.

"Sorry I couldn't be much help LB." apologized the bee hero. "Guess I wasn't much help at all." Ladybug frowned as she shook her head.

"Without you we would have never known that the band on Gertrude's leg was the akuma." Corrected the luck hero. "Don't put yourself down when none of us expected the new development. Still… we didn't win anything. I wasn't the one who defeated them." Her teammates looked to her in shock.

"Really?" asked Chat Noir. "Who did then?" Ladybug sighed as she rubbed her temples.

"I don't know. All I remember is a frog landing on the pigeon dragon's beak and making it go berserk. After that it made Mr. Pigeon go loopy and crashed through that nearby building. I've found no trace of the frog or whatever destroyed the band." Her teammates hummed, both looking confused by the news.

Soon a familiar beeping ringed in Ladybug's ears. "I have to get back before I recharge. Search the area for a bit then go home. We'll talk about this later." The two other heroes nodded as they watched their colleague sling off throughout the city.

The duo then split up in order to find their mysterious savior. What they didn't know, however, was that their target was closer than they realized. Up on the nearby rooftop, a green pigeon landed in a fire escape. The creature soon grew and shifted, turning into Beastboy of the Titans. He smiled as he pulled out his communicator, powering it on.

"Hey Nightwing." Greeted the green skinned boy. "This is Beastboy. I delivered the package AND helped take down pigeon dragon that would have taken out their team… Never thought I'd be saying something like that outside of a videogame." He heard a groan on the other side as he saw Nightwing furrow his brows.

"Just stand by for transportation." Ordered the former Boy Wonder. "I just hope you weren't seen." Beastboy rolled his eyes, but his response was cut off as he disappeared in a flash of light. This was just in time as Honey Bee flew by the area. She had no idea how close she had come to solving their mystery.

Meanwhile, Marinette couldn't help but let her mind wander back to the battle with Mr. Pigeon as she swung through the air. Her team came close to being defeated today, and they would have if not for that strange occurrence. There was something off about the frog that interrupted the fight, specifically how it targeted the pigeon dragon. It was as if the animal had human-level intelligence. She was broken out of her train of thought as she saw her house close by.

She quickly landed on her balcony, just in time for her transformation to end. She groaned as she stretched, the disappointment still present on her face. Tikki sighed as she flew up to Marinette's cheek.

"Don't feel too bad Marinette." Reassured the kwami. "Every Ladybug comes across a force that is difficult to face. You're lucky that the intervention happened at all. The important thing is to learn from this and work with your team to be more prepared." Marinette sent Tikki a sad smile as she rubbed her head.

"Thanks Tikki, but that's not what's bothering me the most this time." Answered the bakers' daughter. "It's that there might be another player here in Paris. We don't know who they are or if they're actually on our side. It makes me nervous thinking that this unknown person might trick us." Tikki smiled as she rubbed against her holder's cheek.

"Don't worry Marinette. Whatever happens, I'll be right here by your side." Marinette smiled as she accepted the embrace, quickly making her way down to her room. As she entered, however, she couldn't help but notice something was on her bed. She squinted her eyes as she drew closer.

"Is that…?"


Amity Park, Illinois

Danny sat at his computer, working on the last bit of homework he had for the weekend. He was working a little slower than his new normal, though he was still making good progress. The thing holding him back was the battle he had with Skulker earlier in the day. He wasn't one to look a gift horse in the mouth, especially when his homework earned him an A, but he was confused as to what happened to the ghost hunter. He sighed as he looked over to the side of his screen, revealing that he was on voice chat with Juleka.

"I'm telling you Jules, it's the strangest thing." Continued Danny. "Skulker comes in and nearly whoops my butt with his new upgrades. The moment I come to, only his faceplate remains. The only thing I can think of is that someone beat him and sent him packing, but I can't help but wonder who did it." He heard a hum on the other side as he finished up the last problem.

"I really don't know what to tell you, Danny." Answered Juleka on the other side. "It's probably better that someone beat him before he could kill you. If anything I'd thank that person if you ever meet them. I'd hate to think of a world without the cheesiest guy I know." Danny laughed sarcastically at the comment, smiling and blushing all the while.

"Very funny. Nice to see my charm is noticed by someone." He felt a swell of pride as he heard Juleka's laugh on the other end of the line. Gosh he loved that laugh. He closed out his homework as he took a moment to breathe.

He really needed to talk with someone about this whole flirting thing. He heard a knock at the door, seeing a shadow from the frame. "Hey, I gotta go for now. Someone's at the door." He heard a huff of disappointment on the other side of the line.

"Alright. Let me know if you can get back on tonight. Good luck!" Juleka quickly disconnected, Danny doing the same soon after. He walked over to his door, opening it to reveal his father with a package.

"Hey Dan-o!" greeted the ghost hunter. "Talking with your girlfriend again?" Danny rolled his eyes with a groan.

"Dad, we're not dating." Corrected the ghost boy. "I want to… figure things out before I make that commitment." Jack nodded with a smile on his face.

"Smart move. Wish I thought of that before I dated that crazy hippie back before I met your mother. Anyway, this came in the mail for you. I figure it's one of those sample packages they always advertise online, like my shave club box." Danny took the package, surprised by how heavy it felt.

"Wow! Uh… thanks Dad. I'll take a look." Satisfied with the conversation, Jack walked back downstairs. Danny quickly shut his door before placing the box on the bed.

He frowned as he looked to the box hesitantly. "I never subscribed to a sample box. I didn't order anything either." Danny tried to find a return address, but there was none other than the postal service. He fazed his hand inside in order to ensure nothing harmful to ghosts was inside.

His eyes widened as his fingers brushed up against something. He was intangible, so that was physically impossible. He grabbed the object and slowly pulled it out. As he rematerialized his hand he found that he was holding a note written in ink. "From your friend, Dick."

Danny furrowed his eyes as he kept reading. "The back of the card has the username for the account and the general password. Commit to memory." He flipped it over, finding that the user name was PhantomBlaster and the password was today's date with a "Dp" at the end. He put the note down as he began to open the box.

To his utter surprise he found a laptop inside, the outer shell being white and green. He opened it up, revealing that the interior was entirely black. He powered it on quickly, watching as the gaps around the keys glowed green alongside the symbols. The background was a green and black swirl as the device powered on instantly. He immediately put in the username and password, watching as the background began to swirl.

To his absolute surprise he found everything he had on his desktop on this new computer. Even their files on the ghost they fought so far. It kind of worried him that Dick had access to this information, though that could wait. He saw another note instructing him to put the same information into the Chatty server. He did so slowly, beginning to have second thoughts about doing this.

Dick was being very, very secretive about all this. He was concerned about what his rich friend could be doing in all this. Still, the curious and investigative side of him urged him onwards. He just hoped it wouldn't half-kill him like last time. With one final click, he activated the account.

He looked over everything to see if he could find any clues as to what was going on. He quickly took notice of the only channel this one was connected to, one called "Vigilchat." Danny chuckled as he shook his head.

"Okay, either there's a reference I'm missing or Dick's naming skills have gotten worse. Looks like a lot of this is locked behind a specific role. Why would he send me a computer and create an entirely new account just to invite me to a server?" The ghost boy suddenly groaned as he rubbed his temples. "Please tell me this isn't a cult thing."

His plea was answered by the sound of a Chatty call. It looked like he was being called in by someone named "TweetyBird." Danny rolled his eyes with a knowing grin. "Oh boy. Who could that be?"

He accepted the call, coming face to face with Dick once again. He seemed to be in a different room than when they had their training sessions. For some strange reason Danny felt like he recognized the room. It was right on the tip of his tongue. Before he could ponder on it any further Dick spoke up.

"Hey Danny." Greeted the Gothamite. "Glad to see you got the package in working order." Danny nodded his head with a confused look.

"Yeah. I'm just wondering why the heck you had to go to these lengths just to invite me to a server. You could have just sent me a normal invite." Dick shook his head in denial.

"This isn't really a matter where normal can apply. I'd say more, but we're waiting on one more." Danny felt even more confused by this statement as he saw the calling screen was still up. Soon the recipient, "BugLover" picked up on the other side. The screen quickly shifted to show three screens, the new one revealed to be Marinette.

"Hey Dick!" greeted Marinette. "We really need to talk about how you pay for…" The baker girl's voice died as the trio looked at their screens in utter surprise. A spark seemed to connect between them as they looked around. Dick chuckled as he shook his head.

"Even after seeing pictures beforehand, I still get surprised when someone meets the physical aspect of Bruce's adoption criteria." Marinette looked both concerned and confused by the young man's words. "I'll tell you later. Thank you both for hopping on at your current times." Danny quickly raised his hand like a preschooler.

"Okay I'm sorry to interrupt but can I say how ironic it is that all of us have black hair and blue eyes?" asked the ghost hero. "I mean, what are the odds of that?" Marinette hummed as she tilted her head.

"I mean I hear it is a rare combination." Answered the Parisian. "It's not the rarest but it's up there. It's kinda funny that we all speak Romanian in some capacity too." Dick nodded, seeming to think over this fact himself. He shook his head in denial as he cleared his throat.

"We're getting off topic." Interrupted the normally silly man. "I'm sorry for the unorthodox methods of bringing this meeting together but this is all necessary. The topic is a matter of high secrecy so I hope you guys are somewhere secure. I'd hate to postpone any longer." Danny waved his hand in dismissal.

"Don't worry about me." Answered the young Fenton. "Jazz is out on an errand and my folks are in the lab. I locked my door so no one's coming in unannounced unless they're a ghost. Can't really safeguard against that though." Marinette nodded her head in agreement.

"In my case my parents are actually out for the weekend." Added ladybug hero. "No one should be coming over unannounced, especially since we just had an Akuma situation." Dick nodded with a sigh.

"Yeah I heard about that." Revealed the rich man. "Anyway, I've called you both today to discuss some secrets that my team has found. This in particular pertains to both of you." Both Danny and Marinette panicked a bit inside, the ghost boy doing a better job of hiding it. Speaking of, Danny hummed as he looked over the room Dick was in.

"Wait." Began Phantom. "Is that an elevator? And that couch is familiar. Isn't that…" His question was soon answered as Beastboy stuck his head in view of the camera.

"Can you maybe speed this along?" asked the shapeshifting hero. "I want to get back to Turbo Racers." Dick looked back in shock and annoyance.

"Garfield!" roared the lead Titan. "I was trying to ease them into this!" Beastboy raised his hands in defense as he slid off screen. The damage was already done, however, as the duo's eyes widened. Danny pointed to the screen as things began to make sense.

"That was Beastboy!... That's Titans Tower! I saw it on the news one time when Lois Lane was doing an interview. Nightwing said only the Titans live in the tower so…" Dick slumped back in his chair as he began to count the fingers on his hands.

It didn't take long for Danny to erupt into a fit of laughter. "Sam was right! You are Nightwing! Beastboy must be BeastMan! Are all the Titans members of the guild!?"

Dick rolled his eyes as he saw Marinette patiently wait for Danny's excitement to die down. It was clear that she was still processing this information. Victor quickly bopped Garfield on the back of the head, unintentionally making his presence known.

"Nice going BB!" growled the robot man. "We had everything planned and you blew it!" Dick sighed as he rubbed his temples, already knowing someone wanted to say hi.

"Go ahead Kori." Acknowledged the hero Nightwing. "It's already too late." Starfire flew into view, hugging Dick from the side.

"Hello friends Ghost and Mouse!" greeted Kori. "Oh right! This is not the guild. Hello friends Danny and Marinette!" Danny sighed in relief as he patted his chest.

"Alright." Panted the ghost hero. "Got that out of my system. Still, it's so cool that I'm friends with the Titans of all people. No one will ever believe me." Marinette took a deep breath as she looked to Dick.

"This is definitely shocking, but I have something to get off my chest." Began the Parisian. "I hate to do this for an important meeting, Dick, but there really should have more competent guys working phones at the Justice League. I called after the authorities did in order to plead for help, but the Green Lantern working there just told me to buzz off and stop pranking him. I kinda hope you've been telling the league about the situation here." Dick nodded with a serious frown.

"I've been trying to gather more information before bringing it to the League actually." Answered Nightwing. "I want to have my facts straight so I don't miss something important. I'll probably ask for more details later." Marinette nodded her head, understanding the hero's reasoning. Danny hummed as he rubbed his chin.

"Can we get to the part where this whole thing is about us?" asked the ghost boy. "What kind of secrets are you talking about? Kinda feels off that you're looking into our personal lives." Marinette once again nodded, still concerned about that fact. Dick nodded his head as he cleared his throat.

"Right. To be honest we weren't looking into your personal lives. For context we were looking into the situation in Paris, specifically trying to find the best way to contact Ladybug and Chat Noir when they have no known contacts. At least ones that could be trusted." Marinette sighed, knowing that Dick was talking about Alya in that sentence.

The Gothamite decided to continue as he leaned back in his chair. "While going over the available images of Ladybug, the evidence brought about by past Akuma events, and the Miraculous Heroes' patrol patterns we found a lot of potential leads on their identities. Recently we found an affirmative on one of their identities, mostly on complete coincidence. Marinette… all evidence points to you being Ladybug." The Parisian suddenly jerked back as she held her hands up defensively.

"WHAT!?" cried Marinette. "Y… you must be mistaken. We've been seen in the same place before. It can't possibly be me." Dick's serious look remained on his face as he looked to her side of his screen.

"There were also two Ladybugs, one of them disappearing due to the Miraculous Cure. There were also times where Ladybug didn't show up until you were out of the picture. That's classic hero give away." Marinette understandably looked flabbergasted, desperate to find some way to dissuade this idea. She looked to Danny's side of the screen as she gestured to him.

"Come on Danny! You can't tell me you believe him." Danny shrugged in response, causing her front to crumble.

"I mean I can see it Nettie." Answered the ghost boy. "You have that heroic spark about you and a lot of my personal research involves the Kwami. They do have a magic effect that hides the identity of the wielder outside of certain circumstances. I could totally see you being Ladybug with how much you seem to know." Raven stepped into view on Dick's monitor, her hands behind her back.

"That is actually how we found out." Interrupted the purple Titan. "While looking over images of Ladybug, Nightwing left open a tab with one of your appearances on it. It took me a bit of looking but I was able to determine that you and Ladybug are the same person due to my magical background. I was originally going to keep it to myself and talk with you directly, but in a rare moment of my emotions taking hold I mentioned my discovery out loud."

Marinette's eyes widened as she looked down at her keyboard. She never thought someone would find out on their own like this, much less someone else in her new group. Raven placed her hand on her chest. "I'm sorry that this happened. Usually we try to keep secret identities on the downlow but I still struggle with balancing my emotions after the Trigon incident." Marinette sighed as she propped her head in her hand, rubbing her temples.

"… It's fine. I guess it was only a matter of time before someone magical came along that would figure it out. There's nothing that can really be done anyways." Dick sent the girl a reassuring smile, having gone through similar gripes when the titans found out his identity during a rough mission in Japan. Danny had his own smile as he leaned forwards.

"Don't beat yourself up over it Nettie." Said the ghost boy. "Lots of heroes in comics go through moments where their secret is found out. You can just think of us as your heroic support system outside of Paris. Plus think of how helpful it is to have Nightwing and the Titans on call." Dick turned his attention towards Danny with a cheeky grin.

"Don't count yourself out Danny." Interrupted the former Boy Wonder. "I did say we found out secrets involving BOTH of you. After finding out Marinette's identity, I got the bright idea to match images of Phantom with people in Amity Park. Imagine my surprise when we found one picture of both you and him facing the same direction was a 95% match, the remaining five being the hair and eye color." Danny's eyes widened as he realized just what Nightwing was getting at.

The lead Titan drove it home as he rubbed his chin. "Seeing as you have no identical relatives on either of your parents' sides, it seems to me that you have some explaining to do." The ghost boy sighed at being called out, deciding to come clean.

"Well I'm gonna get one thing out of the way immediately. Yes, I am Phantom." The group at large looked at Danny in shock. The Titans were definitely expecting something different than an outright confession. Marinette rested her arms in her lap as she nodded her head.

"So Tiki was right." Hummed the ladybug hero. "Still weird that you'd remember a fudge comment over everything else Tiki." Danny's eyes widened as he leaned closer to the screen.

"Wait! Tiki's there!?" A shining light quickly manifested on Marinette's side of the call. As if she were summoned from a void, Tiki became visible for all to see. The creation Kwami giggled as she flew to be face first in the camera.

"Danny!" Greeted Tiki with a grin. "I can't believe it! It's been millennia since I last saw you! When Marinette began talking about Amity Park and you, I hoped that we could talk again!" Danny grinned as he rubbed his head in embarrassment.

"As nice as this reunion is, can we get a backstory on how you got your powers?" asked Victor as he looked to the camera. "I got a feeling this is the secret that could get your folks all hunter crazy on you." Danny sighed as he rolled his eyes, crossing his arms as he sat back.

"To make things short my parents built the Fenton Ghost Portal when I was 14." Began the ghost boy. "It didn't work, so Sam convinced me to go inside and see what happened. Turns out my parents built the on button inside the portal. I happened to press it and…" The collective group' (sans Tiki's) eyes widened as the word for the sound barely began.

"You tellin' me you're dead!?" cried Beastboy as he took over the front of the camera. "We're talking to a dead man right now!?" Danny sighed as he shook his head.

"Half right. Another person like me, we'll call him Plasmius because he could be listening somehow, coined the term halfa. Essentially I'm half ghost and half human, where my DNA is infused with ectoplasm that was supercharged by electricity. According to one of the friendly ghosts I know this also affects how time affects my body and soul." Raven stepped forward, her hood lowered.

"You're talking about being on the thin line between life and death, dancing around it to be on whatever side you need to. The balance of the natural order doesn't apply to someone who is both dead and alive at the same time." Kori quickly took over the spot Beastboy held as she had her face close to the camera.

"Oh friend Danny!" cried the Tamaranian. "It is most terrible to hear the origin of your powers. Maybe I should bring you a traditional Tamaranian dish of comfort." Dick snapped his fingers, pushing Garfield out of the way and guiding Kori away from the camera. He sighed as he shook his head.

"Danny, I'm willing to overlook not telling your parents due to their profession and their devotion to said job. I'm also guessing this is what Tuck, Jazz, and GQueen all talk about when you mention your problems. How many people even know about your powers?" Danny hummed as he thought over the question. He readied to count the fingers on his hands as he bobbed his head back and forth.

"All ghosts know about this so that's a start." Answered the ghost hero. "I'm not overly worried about them taking advantage of it. Then there's Tuck, Sam, and Jazz here in Amity Park. Tuck and Sam were both there when the transformation happened. Then there's a third Halfa who's a friend that knows."

Danny couldn't help but smile as he tilted his head slightly. "I also told Jules a few months ago, after that game of Two Truths and a Lie the guild played." He quickly caught himself, realizing what he listed too late. He quickly noticed the looks of shock on everyone's faces as he slowly turned towards them. "I probably shouldn't have mentioned that."

"You what!?" asked the majority of the group. Raven had gained a serious frown as her response while Tiki just looked unsurprised. Dick shook his head as he stood up.

"Danny, how could you tell someone you barely even know your secret identity?" growled Nightwing. "That's an extremely reckless move and it could have put you in jeopardy. That's why you needed my code a few months back wasn't it?" The hero rubbed his temples as Danny nodded his head yes. The ghost boy quickly shook off his shock as he gained a serious look of his own.

"She's not exactly a stranger. We've bonded rather quickly over the Guild's lifetime and that was before I told her. Plus she was extremely worried about me after hearing how many times I nearly died that month. She even promised not to say anything." Marinette sighed as she shook her head.

"Danny, Juleka hates big secrets like this." Reminded the bakers' daughter. "It might get to a point that she can't hold it anymore. I understand caring about other people's feelings, it's a good trait for a hero to have. The point is that you don't even live in the same country as Juleka, so you wouldn't know if she said anything or not." Danny frowned as he shook his head.

"I refuse to believe she'd do that. I understand how much of a risk I took telling her but I can learn from that. I trust Jules, more than I've trusted anyone in my life. I bet my life that she hasn't even uttered one word of my secret identity." Dick gained a new frown of his own as he looked to the camera, a look that the Titans had not seen since their earlier years as a team.

"That's not something you can say lightly in our line of work Danny." Corrected the Gothamite. "I need to speak with her myself to know the truth. I need time to change into my Nightwing suit. Do not leave this call or tell Juleka anything about this." Marinette quickly raised her hand before the man could leave.

"Am I okay to talk with you later Dick?" asked the Ladybug hero. "Juleka doesn't know my identity and I'd rather not have her figure it out." Dick waved at her as he began to walk away from the room.

"That's fine Nettie. We'll talk about the Paris situation later. Team head out on patrols. I'll be a bit." The rest of the Titans nodded as they moved to the elevator, Marinette sighing in relief as Tiki floated up to the camera.

"I understand why you did it Danny and I trust your judgement, but please try to be more careful about these things." Requested the Kwami. "Past Miraculous holders have made this mistake in the past and got seriously hurt from it." Danny smiled as he nodded his head.

"Thanks Tiki." Stated the halfa. "It's good to see you again. Maybe next time we can talk more. You know, if Dick doesn't find a way to cut off communications from me as a form of grounding." Marinette rolled her eyes as she moved her mouse.

"Just be careful Danny." Requested the designer. "I gotta go. Talk to you later." With that Marinette logged off from the call, her account signal showing that she had disconnected. Not long after Dick returned as Nightwing.

"Alright." Began the hero. "I can bring her in under a witness account. That way if she does turn out to be untrustworthy no one could record us or trace back to the server. This also protects her from anyone finding out about her since she doesn't have powers." Danny quickly harrumphed as he crossed his arms.

He was grateful to Dick for taking her safety into consideration, but he hated how the man was talking about Juleka like she was a potential criminal. It made him want to fly through the computer, which he very much knew he could accomplish, and have a more in person argument with the hero. Before he could come to a decision on that front, an account labeled "Civilian Guest" joined the call.

"H…hello?" asked a voice that was definitely Juleka. It appeared that the civilian camera was turned off by default, probably as a form of witness protection. "Danny? Please tell me that this is just an awkward cosplay meeting." Dick decided to answer before Danny could utter a word.

"I'm afraid this is not, Mrs. Couffaine. I need to be able to read your response so I must ask you to turn your camera on. If all goes well this will be a short gathering." Danny began to sweat under this side of Dick, clearly an attitude brought about by tutelage under Batman. With a sound of hesitation the sound of a moving chair got the duo's attention.

"L…let me get decent first. I wasn't expecting a video call." Dick nodded his head, looking like he was checking a radar of some kind. Danny felt like he should tell Juleka ahead of time what was about to go down. Before he could even utter a word, however, the girl's camera came on.

His eyes widened as he saw the slender, pales skinned girl with brilliant red eyes. Her hair was black in color with the tips dyed a moderate mulberry color, her bangs covering the left side of her face. She also wore dark eyeshadow and a light violetish gray lipstick. The parts of her outfit that were visible consisted of a black turtlenecked, swan-necked T-shirt with a sea green lined collar, and side pockets, and black mesh sleeves; blue-violetish black fingerless lace gloves that have a diamond pattern design, the right one ending halfway up her forearm, and an arctic blue wrist mirror on her right hand with a royal blue gemstone in the center. Danny felt his heart begin to beat at a normal person's rate as he tugged at his shirt collar.

"Dang." Commented the boy. "Tuck was right about one thing; you would make a pretty darn good model." Juleka couldn't help the blush that appeared on her face, looking down at her keyboard. Dick couldn't help but flash a quick smirk at the interaction, finding it rather adorable. He frowned once again as he saw the girl look up.

"Let's keep this meeting professional." Interrupted the bird themed hero. "I've asked you here today to discuss a matter involving you and Mr. Fenton here. Particularly, his identity as Phantom." Juleka's eyes widened in shock, something that made Danny uneasy. He was beginning to think there was some merit to Dick's concern, until that is before the girl's face turned to an uncharacteristic frown.

"Y…you're not going to hurt him are you?" asked the Parisian. "Don't tell me you're one of those kinds of people who hate ghosts just for the media they get." Dick remained professional as he kept his reaction unreadable.

"That's not what this is about. I'm just trying to understand how much…" Juleka quickly leaned closer to the camera, the look in her visible eye making Danny feel uneasy.

"I'm not telling you anything. If you think I'm going to spill every secret he's ever told me, you're wasting your time. I've specifically kept from asking anything in case someone came here wanting to hurt him. I know none of his weaknesses, how his powers work, or anyone else that could possibly give you this information." Dick continued to be unreadable, though it did look like he was noting things down to the observant eye.

Juleka leaned back in her chair as she crossed her arms. "I haven't said a word to a soul, either living or dead, and if you think I'm going to say anything that will get him hurt or give you an edge on him, then you're out of your mind. If you or anyone in the so called Justice League hurt him in any way, powers or no, I will make your life a living nightmare." Danny felt a well of pride grow in him, along with a swarm of butterflies fluttering in his stomach. Dick looked over whatever data he was collecting before smiling as he nodded his head.

"You actually saved me a lot of questioning, Ms. Couffaine. I have no intentions of hurting him unless he chooses the life of a criminal. Even then it would only be to slap some sense into him. You can unwind now." Juleka didn't need to be told twice as she felt her nerves release all at once, sighing as she sat back in her rolling chair. This allowed the guys to see her purple leggings, rips made right above the knees.

Dick decided to continue as he gestured to Danny's side of the screen. "As I was saying, we found out about Mr. Fenton's secret after some image matching. He told us the basics of what happened, along with who all knows about his abilities. Seeing as you live out of country, I wanted to see for myself if he was right to trust you with his secret. Reviewing the lie detector, you lied at the only part that I can approve of; the one about you knowledge of who knows."

Danny grinned as he nodded his head, his eyes clearly displaying the unspoken message of "I told you so." Nightwing continued as he began to type on the main computer. "This account has civilian level access. If you need to get in contact with someone here with a concern about him or if one of his enemies shows up in Paris, we'll respond immediately. You can personalize the name and the color, but you will have the civilian tag indefinitely."

Juleka nodded her head, hoping to get this over with. "Also, I have spoken with Ladybug and once I inform the JL of your situation we will take proper actions. Also the Green Lantern in charge of coms that day will be on latrine duty for not taking a call seriously. Rest assured the League takes magic very seriously." The shy girl frowned sadly as she rubbed the back of her head.

"S… sorry. I don't usually get confrontational but there were assumptions and…" Dick sighed as he nodded his head.

"I understand. If the authorities were taking a dangerous situation as a prank I'd be pretty cross too." Danny leaned forward a bit as he did his best to be cool about the whole situation.

"So are we all good now?" asked the ghost boy. "I mean it's cool that I got to meet my favorite team of heroes and to learn that I have their support. I was just having a conversation with Jules before my dad brought the package up. I'm just glad he didn't decide to check it for ghost tampering under the impression that it was a fun box." Dick shook his head as he returned his attention to the boy.

"Not quite. I still think it's a dangerous situation to be in a house with ghost hunters who want nothing more than to tear you apart. I highly recommend finding a place outside of Fenton Works to call home. I'd recommend a place in Gotham or here with my team but…" Danny nodded his head in response.

"Yeah. I kinda need to be here to deal with all the ghosts so they don't get experimented on and the people are safe." Dick nodded as he began to make a note.

"I believe I have a solution. You said your sister was trying to get into college when we talked earlier. Using my connections I could get her a scholarship and get you and her a small house near Ravenmore University, which isn't too far from your current high school or Amity Park. Then you can be out of the house and have more freedom to be yourself without your parents finding out." Danny blinked a bit as he thought about the idea.

"That… is honestly brilliant. Plus then I have news to give Jazz so she doesn't freak out about this meeting or the fact that I told Juleka my secret. It's like a news sandwich where she'll hopefully focus more on the middle than the other bits of news." The aforementioned Parisian couldn't help but chuckle at the boy's words. Dick smirked as he shook his head.

"So it's settled. I'll make the arrangements as soon as I get the approval. I'll also have a League ally live in the building in case someone decides to try something. I'm logging off now, so I suggest you take any further conversation back to DMs. Nightwing out."

Dick quickly logged out of the call, a timer appearing where his screen was. Danny breathed his own sigh of relief, happy that everything went well. He looked to Juleka's side of the screen, noticing the small smile she had on her face.

"So… you think I'd make a good model?" asked the Parisian. Danny felt a blush began to well up on his face, but he did his best to control it. He leaned backwards as he nodded his head.

"Y…yeah. I now definitely think a mossy green would look good on you. While I kinda wish I didn't drag you in to this, I'm not gonna regret getting to see you for the first time. Kinda wish I didn't have to stop." Juleka hid her own blush as she played with her hair.

"W…well it doesn't have to. We can hop back into a personal call but have our cameras on. I'm not gonna lie, it's nice to see you too." Danny couldn't help the goofy grin that appeared on his face. His eyes lit up as he suddenly got an idea.

"Ooh! We can do some raid battles! I still gotta get Walking Wake before the time is up. I still have time before I need to sleep." Juleka chuckled as she nodded her head.

"Alright. I need to get ready for bed so I'll be a bit. Wait up on me alright?" Danny nodded his head eagerly. He'd wait up on her any day.

The timer logged them out of the call just in time to cut off the biggest blush he'd ever had. Danny quickly formed ice in his hands before holding both pieces to his cheeks. He did not need someone walking in and seeing him like that. He looked to the clock, realizing he should be getting into his own pjs. After all, it's not polite to keep a lady waiting.


Paris, France

In a boat by the harbor, Juleka could be found in her bedroom. She hummed to herself as she finished tying the strings of her pajama bottoms. She could now be seen wearing a purple tank-top with a ghost depicted on the front, a pair of gray pajama pants with dark green plaid marking and dark green strings, and a pair of Batman slippers her mother had gotten her one year. She couldn't help but sigh as she thought of the complements Danny gave her during the surprise meeting with Nightwing. She walked out of her closet as she approached her desk once again.

She hopped on the computer, revealing her background was one of the more flattering pictures of Danny as Phantom. She allowed a small blush to form on her face as she rubbed the cheek of the image. She quickly opened Chatty again, finding that Danny had yet to call her. Instead of initiating it herself, however, she decided to hold off. It wasn't like she minded waiting on him.

After all, she was already waiting for the day she could see her ghostly crush in person.


Inkaliber: And done! That's another chapter for Miraculous Gamer Guild done and done. And a little twist at the end.

Meowth: Ha! Figured it went both ways! Nida of them was subtle.

Sabrina: Oh my gosh they would be so cute! I wish their relationship was real out here. Of course that would be asking too much.

Inkaliber: Well Juleka would have to want it before I even consider it. I notice that she does read the past chapters a lot but there's no telling if she'd even be interested. Just because something will be my go to ship in a crossover doesn't mean that it's a definite.

Sabrina: Yeah that makes sense. It wouldn't be good to force either of them into something they don't want. Sorry.

Inkaliber: Don't sweat it. You're young.

Meowth: Yeah! No kid of mine is gonna get all upset because she likes somethin'. Let's go get some ice cream from da fridge.

Sabrina: Ooh! Now that's a good idea! I'm in.

Inkaliber: Have fun, but don't go nuts with the sprinkles! Ah kids and their pokemon. It's obvious Meowth's been thinking about the idea of being Sabrina's pokemon. Or at the very least he's bonded with her more than the other kids. Guess we'll just have to see where that goes.

Anyway, what did you think of the chapter? Did you like how the group handled the secret identity talk? How about the Titans helping to defeat Danny and Marinette's villains? Let me know what you think down below and I'll try to get back to you ASAP. This is Inkaliber, signing out.
