Earlier in the gym...

Midoriya let out a long sigh as he left the locker room and headed into the gym. As he watched some of the heroes in training still going on all out, he noticed a couple of the others helping out someone. As he got closer to who it was, he spotted Uraraka on her knees. She looked like she had just thrown up since there was a bucket of sparkly rainbows next to her.

"Ochaco, are you okay?" Midoriya asked her as he got down to the ground.

"N-No. Someone was here. It's gotta be Chrysalis..." Uraraka said to him.

Midoriya was a little confused, but he rubbed her back to help support her. Rena Rouge, Purple Tigress and Ashido were there to help her out.

"Uraraka thinks that Chrysalis is tampering with her quirk," Ashido said to him, "But, that can't be true. Right?"

Midoriya's eyes widened in shock and looked at her with a worried expression. She looked at him, and her face was really pale and sweating a decent amount. He looked down at her hands and nothing was glowing from her fingertips. He hadn't heard anything from her about something like this. He didn't want to believe that something like that would happen, but she did have her unfinished Miraculous.

He took her hand and held it gently.

"Izuku. What're you doing? Chrysalis could accidentally use--"

"It's okay, Ochaco. Just tell me what's going on. Did you feel anything like this before?" Midoriya asked her.

Uraraka looked away from him, and he could tell that she was having a hard time talking about it. She looked at her hand in a similar way Bakugo looked at his hand just now.

"When you--... One for All was akumatized, Chrysalis used my Miraculous to stop me from defeating her," Uraraka said to him, "She actually used my Miraculous to turn off my quirk. It actually turned off my quirk while I had a grip on her. It felt really weird, like she was interfering with it."

Midoriya couldn't believe what he was hearing. Uraraka's quirk was being controlled by Chrysalis, and she didn't even need to use an akuma. He felt his fist clench and was about to punch the ground underneath him, when Uraraka held his hand. He looked up at her face, and she looked determined through her sweat and pale face.

"Don't worry about it, Izuku. We'll get the Miraculous back," Uraraka said to him, "I'm just as upset as you are."

"B-But, you and Kacchan..." Midoriya growled out, "This isn't fair that this is happening to you, too. You're my girlfriend. I should be doing something about this."

Uraraka smiled, just hearing him say girlfriend making her feel so much better. She felt so lucky to have someone like him by her side while she didn't feel so good.

"Don't worry about it, Izuku," Rena Rouge said to him, "We'll get her Miraculous back and defeat both Chrysalis and HawkMoth."

"We've got all of these amazing heroes on our side. I think we can handle getting a Miraculous back," Ashido said.

Midoriya looked at all of the heroes fighting during their hero training and was surprised to see how amazing they are doing with one another. None of them were fighting or arguing. Everyone was training and giving each other tips and tricks on how to defeat HawkMoth or Chrysalis. Midoriya smiled at how far they've already come.

In the corner of the room, Midoriya spotted Bakugo coming in from the front door. He was outside again and wondered where he'd been. Midoriya hadn't seen him a long time. Then he noticed that he was sweating again. Midoriya felt even more determined to get Uraraka's Miraculous back just seeing him trying to get his quirk back.

Then Bakugo looked up to see Uraraka kneeled down on the ground with Midoriya. His eyes grew wide and walked up to her a little quicker. Rena Rouge, Purple Tigress and Ashido all stepped away from him as he checked on her.

"What the hell is going on over here?" Bakugo asked her, "You look terrible."

"Hey! Bakugo, that's not how you talk to a girl when she's not feeling good!" Ashido cried out.

"It's okay, Ashido. I feel terrible," Uraraka said to her, and then turned back to Bakugo, "It's definitely Chrysalis. She's tampering with my quirk."

Midoriya could tell that based on his reaction that he already knew about this. He had to remember that he was probably knocked out cold during this exchange back when One for All got akumatized. Bakugo clenched his teeth, and Midoriya looked like he was about to see a spark come out of his palms. But then, Midoriya noticed that he stopped getting upset and looked at Uraraka.

"Once we head home, I'm going to make sure I get that Miraculous back for you," Bakugo said to her, "Caterpillar and Butterfly Bastard aren't going to get away with this."

Everyone around them at this point were now impressed with Bakugo not yelling or running after the villains.

"Now that's how you talk to a girl, Bakugo. Nice job!" Ashido said with a thumbs up, "You should use that on Queen Bee."

"Shut up, Raccoon Eyes! Now's not the time for flirting!" Bakugo yelled at her.

Midoriya felt himself laughing, kind of missing Bakugo's constant yelling a little bit. But he did actually appreciate that he was being a lot nicer to Uraraka lately. It made him relax a lot more seeing his friends getting along with Ladybug's teammates especially.

Then Ladybug and Cat Noir suddenly landed very smoothly onto the ground. They were in the middle of the gym, and everyone crowded around them.

"Ladybug! Cat Noir! You're back!"

Everyone was so happy to see them back, but they could tell that something has come up. Ladybug was frantically looking around for someone in particular. But then she locked eyes with Argos who was hanging out with Ryuko. She stomped over to him, everyone looking at her with a really confused look on their faces. Cat Noir even tried to stop her from hurting him.

"Ladybug, maybe we should talk about this," Cat Noir said to her.

"No. I need to see him," Ladybug said as she stomped over to him.

Ladybug had a piercing glare aimed right at Argos, and he noticed it right away. He flipped his fan open so innocently that it made Ladybug want to rip it out of his grip.

"Ladybug," Argos said with a knowing look, "You look like you saw something you wished you didn't see."

Ladybug clenched her fists and went right for his collar. She almost took his Miraculous from him, but he quickly grabbed her hand before she could.

"I don't think you want to do that," Argos said to her with a slight growl to it.

"And why not? You clearly want something. Why would you tell Izuku that Chrysalis's lair is restored?! You wouldn't tell him that unless you're trying to get something back yourself," Ladybug growled back.

Suddenly, she heard gasps all around her, making her look up. She had accidentally let out the fact that the lair was restored, even if she never intended to keep a secret.

"Ladybug, is this true?" Iida asked her, "The lair is restored."

Ladybug looked at everyone, Class 1-A and her teammates all looking really worried and nervous. She nodded and everyone didn't know what to do now. She felt Argos trying to slip away from her, but then she gripped onto his collar.

"You're not going anywhere, Argos," Ladybug growled at him, "What did you tell Izuku? You said something to him that really bothered him."

Argos spotted Midoriya with Bakugo and Uraraka. He was shocked to see Ladybug confronting him like this. He smiled and wasn't even intimidated by her.

"Why don't you ask him yourself? If you don't trust me, then go ask him," Argos said back.

Ladybug gripped on his collar and clenched her teeth. She wasn't playing games this time around.

"I'm asking you. If I want to ask him, I will do so after I take care of you. You were going to amokitize him, weren't you?" Ladybug said to him.

Class 1-A all looked around, a little confused as to what she meant by that. They even looked at Midoriya, who was a little flustered by everyone looking at him.

"Come now. You really think I'd do that? Especially to someone with a Miraculous like that?" Argos asked Ladybug back with a smirk.

"Yes. I think you would," Ladybug said without any hesitation.

"Ouch. That really hurts, Ladybug," Argos said, "Besides, I don't think you want me to reveal what I said to him. Especially not in front of all of your little friends here."

Ladybug's eyes widened and wondered what he could've possibly said to him. She really didn't know what he said to him. Whatever it was, he never said anything about it over her yo-yo. In the corner of her eye, she spotted Cat Noir standing by her side. She locked onto the ring and something clicked. Ladybug looked back at Argos, feeling something come over her.

"Felix. Adrien found something in his father's office. Something that revealed HawkMoth's true identity. You wouldn't have something to do with that, would you?" Ladybug asked him, "You obviously know about HawkMoth being Gabriel Agreste. How is that?"

Argos glared at her, knowing full well that she already knew the answer to that.

"What are you getting at, Ladybug? If you already know that I recorded that, then what are you trying to pull?" Argos asked.

"You traded something for that Peacock Miraculous, didn't you? That's how you got that from Gabriel!" Ladybug cried out, "What was it that you traded?"

Argos's eyes widened, realizing that she had figured it out. He looked at the crowd, and they looked so worried and confused. He spotted Cat Noir and gave him a suspicious glare.

"Ladybug. Back off. He didn't do anything wrong right now. This was a long time ago," Ryuko said to her.

Ladybug just gave her a side glance, but went right back to Argos.

"You really want me to tell you? Right now?" Argos asked back.

"Stop playing games, Felix," Ladybug growled out, "Tell me what it was now."

It was silent in the gym for a while as Ladybug glared at Argos. He didn't flinch or react to her piercing glare. No one dared to move as they had a stare down.

"Fine. It was Gabriel's ring. I took it from him because it wasn't his to begin with. It belongs to my mother's side of the family," Argos confessed to her.

Ladybug's eyes widened as she felt her stomach tighten up quite a bit. She felt Cat Noir's eyes lock onto her, feeling his confusion and shocked look coming off of him.

"I believe Adrien has it now. I was going to get it back from him earlier--"

Ladybug pulled him towards her face, only mere inches away from each other.

"Why would you give him that ring?! You clearly know what that is! You don't know what you could've done--"

"Ladybug, you need to calm down," Midoriya interrupted her as he grabbed her shoulder, "You don't want to accidentally reveal something..."

Ladybug's eyes widened, realizing that he knew about Adrien being a sentimonster. She looked around to see everyone wondering what they could be talking about. She let go of Argo's collar and backed away.

"Argos. We're not done here. I still don't trust you," Ladybug said to him.

"What a shock. And I thought we were just becoming such good friends," Argos said back as he flipped the fan closed.

Argos and Ryuko both walked away, Ryuko holding his hand for support. Argos looked back at Ladybug and Midoriya with a piercing glare. Cat Noir even noticed him give him a suspicious look towards him.

Ladybug looked at Midoriya and grabbed him by the wrist. She pulled him along as Cat Noir followed her, wondering what she was up to. Ladybug walked over to Uraraka and Bakugo was there to support her. She looked at Rena Rouge knew that she would handle things with the others.

"I need you guys to come with me. Please head upstairs to the classroom. It's important," Ladybug said to them, including Cat Noir.

They all looked at each other, a little confused, but Cat Noir knew what this was about when she looked at Uraraka.

"Just trust her. It's definitely important," Cat Noir said.

Midoriya, Uraraka, and Bakugo all walked up the stairs along with Cat Noir behind them. Once Ladybug faced the others, she eyed all of the Class 1-A students.

"Okay. The rest of Class 1-A, I need to speak with you in the classroom please. I means Mr. Aizawa as well. The rest of you, go about your hero training for now," Ladybug said to them.

All of the Class 1-A students followed the others up to the classroom. Even Mr. Aizawa didn't know where this was going, but he knew that it wasn't anything good. Rena Rouge and Queen Bee both took over the hero training for now while Ladybug went up the stairs after everyone else.

Ladybug took a deep breath in and out and went upstairs.

"Oh I hope this goes better than with Argos..."

Another amazing chapter!

I had to break this part into two chapters just because it was so long. This was a really fun one to write! Ladybug was kind of satisfying to write here considering it's understandable that she'd be upset and angry with Argos here. Things are started to stir a little between the team! Ooh! Ladybug almost gave away that Adrien is a sentimonster. I thought her team shouldn't know just because most of them don't know that Cat Noir is Adrien, so I thought it would be weird. Ladybug's about to go to the classroom for something important!

What's going to happen next??

More to come soon!
