On Marinette's Balcony...
Marinette paced the balcony, as Midoriya just stood there wondering when Tikki would come back, most likely with Cat Noir. Or his Kwami. He still couldn't get over the fact that Kwami's were even a thing. It just seemed very odd. Kwamis being sucked into jewelry to give their holders superpowers.
"So cool!" Midoriya thought as watched the heroine stop in her tracks.
He turned around and spotted the pro hero, Cat Noir approach a building nearby. As soon as he showed up, Marinette ducked and quickly transformed into Ladybug. Midoriya ducked beside her and wondered why she was hiding.
"We don't know our identities either," Ladybug told him, "Someone named Master Fu gave us the Miraculous but told us to keep it a secret until, Hawk-Monarch is defeated."
"What? Bu-But he's your partner," Midoriya reminded her, "He should know."
"Yeah..." Ladybug trailed off as she grabbed her yo-yo, "Do you mind going over there with me? I need you for what I'm about to tell him."
Midoriya blushed and looked in any direction but her.
"Uh, yeah... sure! Let's go, but how are we getting there?"
Ladybug stood up when Cat Noir's back was turned and held onto Midoriya around the waist. Midoriya's blush grew even more, but knowing how she traveled, he held onto her even tighter.
"So close!" Midoriya thought, still blushing.
"Alright, you ready?" Ladybug said, looking at him with a determined smile.
He couldn't look away.
"Ye-Yeah."
They took off into the air as she launched her yo-yo towards the building Cat Noir was standing on. He had noticed them heading over as they landed in front of him. He knew Ladybug asked him to come over, but he didn't think that hero in training kid would be showing up. He actually looked a little upset.
"Ladybug, it's good to see you, but why is he here?" Cat Noir asked her as he sent a glare his way.
Midoriya tensed up, but was able to calm down once Ladybug spoke up.
"Cat Noir, now's not the time. And please call him by his hero name, Deku," Ladybug told him with a glare back, "He's here for support, but I need to make sure of something with our Kwamis."
Cat Noir's green eyes grew wide in shock.
"Really Ladybug? Right in front of the hero in training? I know Deku's here for, you know, hero training, but don't you think this is a bit much?" Cat Noir told him.
"He's going to be with me, so don't worry about it," Ladybug told him as she pulled him over her to the other side of the chimney.
"Wait a minute, he gets to know your secret identity and I don't?! I thought we were done with this!"
"Cat Noir, other side! Now!"
Cat Noir groaned and went over to the other side of the chimney.
"Tikki, Spots off."
"Plagg, Claws in."
Both of them detransformed from their superhero costumes into their regular clothes. Midoriya was tempted to peek in on Cat Noir, but Ladybug trusted him so he stayed with her.
"Okay, Plagg. I need to talk to you and Tikki," Marinette told him from behind the chimney.
Plagg went through the chimney, which surprised Midoriya. Plagg floated in front of him and knew right away just by looking at him that he was Cat Noir's Kwami.
"The name's Plagg," He introduced to Midoriya, "It's nice to meet you. I like your hair, it reminds of Broccoli. You know, broccoli with melted camembert is my favorite..."
Midoriya felt his green, bushy hair and was confused by his sudden change in topic.
"Plagg, focus," Marinette interrupted his daydreaming about his favorite food, "You need to ask you and Tikki something. It's very important."
Tikki floated beside him as they faced the Ladybug holder.
"Ugh, fine. What is it?" Plagg groaned just like Cat Noir.
"Tikki... Plagg... Did you make a wish without my permission?"
Tikki and Plagg froze in midair with their eyes bugged out. Midoriya didn't understand the situation, but he was very curious. He just wished he had his notebook right now to write this all down.
"Oh no..." Tikki mumbled as she glanced over at Midoriya and remembered his classmates Marinette told her about. The one who could explode things, the one who could emit fire and ice and the one in front of her.
The one who had super strength and speed.
Marinette knew by the look on her face that Tikki and Plagg had done something.
"Tikki, please."
"We didn't mean to, I just... you were so upset and Plagg came over to see me that night we almost got the Miraculous back. I told him about what you wanted and we..." Tikki trailed off, rubbing her arm in shame.
"Tikki, oh my gosh..." Marinette looked like she was disappointed, "You made a wish, didn't you?"
"We didn't mean to," Plagg stood up for his friend, "We didn't even know we made a wish until you brought it up just now."
"I can't believe you two. Of all the things you've done, this is just the most--"
"Ladybug, calm down," Midoriya intervened as he gripped on her arm rather tightly.
Ladybug turned around to see him, and she forgot for a moment that he was even standing there in the first place. Then, she realized something. Something that made everything better, for the time being. Her disappointment had turned into relief in a split second as she looked into Midoriya's green, sparkling eyes that reminded her of the powers that emitted off of him a few days ago.
"Ladybug, is everything okay? This wish didn't ruin anything, did it?" Cat Noir asked from behind the chimney.
"I'm not sure, but I think I know what we need to do."
In Marinette's house...
Class 1-A and Zoe Lee spent a decent amount of time just in Marinette's kitchen. Everyone wondered what was going upstairs.
Especially Uraraka.
She didn't like the thought of Midoriya, her best friend and secret crush being alone with a heroine. The fact that they were the same age only made things worse. She was very tempted to go up there and make sure he was okay.
"Don't worry, Uraraka," Ashido told her, "I'm sure everything's okay with Midoriya."
"I hope so," She told her, "I just... They've been up there for awhile."
"Oh?" Ashido said as she whispered into her ear, "You worried about your, secret crush?"
Uraraka's rosy cheeks were even rosier now, and she waved her off, causing everyone to look at her confused.
"Ashido!" She whisper yelled at her so no one would hear her, "Not here, please. Especially not in front of Zoe."
"Why? Who heard Midoriya, they're just friends. Wait a minute, don't tell me you're jealous?"
Before Uraraka could respond, the door opened and everyone turned around in utter disbelief. It was Midoriya with Ladybug and Cat Noir. They looked at the door to Marinette's bedroom and back at them.
"Did we miss something?" Class 1-A thought in unison.
"Cat Noir?! Wait, Midoriya what's going on?" Iida asked him as he passionately waved his arm in the air.
"Sorry to worry everyone, but something's have come up," Midoriya told his class.
"Zoe," Ladybug said to her friend, "Can you tell Marinette that the heroes in training stepped out for some training with us?"
Ladybug snuck a wink at her, giving Zoe a hint not to give anything away with Cat Noir around. Class 1-A on the other hand was so confused.
"You can count on me, Ladybug," Zoe told her as she saluted her and ran up to Marinette's bedroom.
That left the heroes with Class 1-A and were ready for something they've never done before. Midoriya took a deep breath and stood by Ladybug's side.
"Okay, Iida," Ladybug said, catching Iida's attention, "If you don't mind, I'd like you and your class to follow me to the park."
Class 1-A looked at each other with confused looks, but everyone was ready except...
"What the hell is this all about, Insect?!" Bakugo groaned as he stomped over to the heroine, "And why is Deku with you and Scaredy-Cat?!"
"Hey! You can call me Scaredy-Cat all you want, but don't you dare call Ladybug, Insect again!" Cat Noir yelled at him to his face.
Ladybug had never seen him so angry. It kind of gave her a good sense normalcy in this situation.
"What the hell did you say to me?!"
"You heard me," Cat Noir said as went for his baton.
"Alright, that's enough," Ladybug told them as she grabbed a hold of his arm before Cat Noir could pull it out in defense, "Everyone, please. I know this is very strange to be asking this, but I really need you guys to follow me. I can't say much else here, we're in someone else's house."
Getting the clue that Cat Noir doesn't know Marinette is Ladybug, Bakugo groaned and let it go. They all followed the pro heroes out of Marinette's house, saying goodbye to her parents along the way. Apparently Ladybug and Midoriya had told them that this was an important mission that the heroes in training had to be a part of. Based on that info alone, Class 1-A figured this was pretty important to the Parisian heroes.
They all walked over to the park in silence as Midoriya stayed beside Ladybug's side.
Uraraka wanted to join him, but clearly knew this wasn't the time for that. She was just glad to see that he was okay and looking actually pretty determined about something. Whatever's gotten him and the pro heroes together definitely was important for sure.
They finally arrived at the park and stood in the middle of it with civilians turning around to see their heroes in the park. They looked so excited to see their heroes, but didn't understand why a group of interesting looking kids were with them.
"Excuse me, everyone!" Ladybug announced to the civilians in the park, "I've got a very important announcement to make!"
Class 1-A didn't understand what she was about tell them, but they were all excited and nervous at same time. At this point, Midoriya stood with his class, looking more determined than ever before. Just him alone got their class to stand tall and listen up.
"This group of teenagers standing before you are from Japan! Me and Cat Noir have asked them to come over here to help us defeat Monarch and take back all of the Miraculous he stole from me!"
Class 1-A definitely did not expect this, but they didn't dare look at each other in disbelief. Not when she got everyone's attention.
"I've kept the identities of my heroes for far too long, but these heroes here don't have that in Japan! I'm hoping that this will in the long run help us show Monarch that we're ready for him! To face him and take him down!"
The crowd started to gather and cheer for the heroes. Class 1-A didn't know how to take this in, so they just kept their eyes on Ladybug.
"And the three that have stood out to me the most are..." Ladybug pointed to Midoriya, Todoroki and Bakugo.
The three of them stood there in shock, but mostly Bakugo and Todoroki. Midoriya was ready. Once Bakugo noticed Midoriya's determination, a smile of defeating a villain known as Monarch is what drove him to be better than him.
Ladybug motioned the three of them to stand with her, and they made their way over to her.
"Can you three tell us your names and superpowers?" Ladybug announced to them and the crowd.
Midoriya stood up first, who clearly rehearsed this.
"My name is Izuku Midoriya..." He told everyone as loud as he could as he activated One for All. Green sparks flew off his body, showing it off and wowing the crowd, "And my superpower is super strength and speed."
"The name's Katsuki Bakugo," He told everyone as he showed off some explosives in the palms of his hands, "And I can blow things up with my nitro glycerin like sweat! Don't worry, I'll take care of that Butterfly Bastard!"
The crowd wanted to cheer him on, but were a little scared to do so.
"I'm Shouto Todoroki," He told everyone as he emitted fire on his left side and ice on his right side, "And I can control fire and ice."
The crowd oohed and awed at his superpower, a lot more than Bakugo's, which got him even more fired up.
"Everyone else in this class, I promise me and Cat Noir will get to know you better and train you guys!" Ladybug announced, "But these three, I sent them specifically to help us! Monarch, if you're watching this, good! No more hiding! We're coming for you and we're here to protect this city from you!"
The crowd that had gathered cheered Ladybug and Cat Noir on, as well as Class 1-A. Ladybug waved the rest of the class over and joined in. There was only one thing that bothered them about this plan of theirs.
"Mr. Aizawa's not going to like this..."
In Monarch's Lair...
He was staring at the screen of his tablet, watching a live stream of Alya Cesaire's LadyBlog. She was filming an announcement that came out of no where from Parisian's heroine herself along with a group of teenagers that he recognized as the group that tried to stop Stormy Weather.
Especially the kid with green hair.
He stood out the most to him with everyone there. There was something about his energy that made him want it. Of course, he was curious about each and every one of them. But, this kid was special. His power felt different from the others, and he didn't know why.
It was rather fascinating to him.
He widened the shot on Midoriya, watching closely at his superpower as he released it from his body. It looked like sparks of green were coming off of him, but from where? He it looked like he wasn't wearing any Miraculous. None of them did.
These teenagers were no ordinary teenagers. There were from Japan and heroes in training. Something told him Ladybug was keeping something hidden. He had to find out what that was exactly.
Her announcement got him very intrigued on how she was going to handle this. From this point on, he would not rest until he got his hands on their Miraculous. And now that these heroes in training were out in the open, he could now keep an eye out for them much easier now. If she's really going to train them like that, then he could analyze their moves and superpowers rather efficiently.
A smile grew on his face as he watched her announcement closer, her face full of determination.
"Just watch yourself, Ladybug," Monarch told her as he zoomed in on the green haired kid, "I might just go after someone else instead of you and Cat Noir this time around."
Another great chapter! Class 1-A, Ladybug and Cat Noir are after Monarch. But it seems like Monarch is planning something...
More coming soon!
