Inkaliber: Welcome back everyone! It's time to take another ride on the MGG train. As you can guess by the title, we will be going back to Paris on this one.

Chloe: Ooh! I can't wait to see what goes on. Maybe I'll get a new design in this story. If I like it I am so having someone make a real version.

Inkaliber: You've given me a fun idea but let's hold off on that. We'll answer some reviews soon. First things first, however, time to look at the current results for the monthly dedication poll.

Monthly Update Poll Status

Chan in Bellwood (Rewrite)- 7 overall votes

Jade 10- 1 overall vote

Milla: Saiyan of Earth Reinvigorated- 3 overall votes

Tail of Two Heroes: Switched at Tragedy- 3 overall vote

The Many Dates of a Ninja Turtle- 4 overall vote

Inkaliber: If anyone has not voted yet and would like to see one of these stories higher on the list, I highly recommend doing so. You have until Monday to get your votes in. Once that's done, I'll announce the monthly dedication results in full. Once that happens, it's very unlikely that I will change the order. Anyway, now onto reviews.

myself- Both interesting ideas for how Bob came to be. Still, you'll have to wait and see if I ever reveal the truth of Bob. Part of his charm is the mystery, after all.

ChikoTRQX- Glad you liked it!

LunarCouncillor- He really is, isn't he? Of course he has to compete with the likes of Krypto for that title.

FreelanceroftheTriforceKeyblade- Yeah he just couldn't say no to temptation or friendly bribery. At least from his friends. He doesn't want to admit that Ellie is getting that close to him, lol.

Fregreg- I'd have to see it to know what you're talking about. I don't know what Bloom you're talking about unless you're talking about Winx. Even then, I haven't seen that show.

The_Keeper_of_Worlds- Hold your horses, lol. These three aren't in the guild yet. They're on their own server.

PlagueGhost- Thanks!

Speedykitten1643- Who knows? They're looking for kids around their age. As for Ellie, you'll have to wait and see.

Roxtars_D_Galaxy- Glad you like them! I tried my best to pick good usernames for the trio. It will be hilarious when Bruce finds out that two of his sons had info on new heroes and they didn't tell him. (Don't go giving me ideas, lol)

Those are some interesting ideas for new members of the Superkids. You have brought up one that I'm considering, but I'm not saying who.

Those are some interesting pet ideas. They will definitely be taken into consideration. I was hoping to hear some ideas for original creatures, but these are good ones.

Mace- In Jade 10, the Ben 10 series happens after JCA. For problem 1, he believes that it will be good for her and he does not know what's going to happen on the trip. He trusts Max to keep the girl safe. As for problem 2, that never stopped them from trying to keep her out of the fight or lecturing her.

Wingd_Knight- You bring up a lot of interesting ideas. I will say, however, that there aren't really filler chapters in this story. Every chapter has an important role, some of them being to keep track of characters or set up for things later down the line. Others are to help with character development or world building. As to what kind the prior two were, I'll leave that up to your imagination.

Chloe: That looks like the last one.

Inkaliber: It does indeed. Let's get this party started! I don't own Miraculous, Danny Phantom, Marvel, DC, or any of the other series that show up in this story. I do own original characters, places, objects, and other such unless stated otherwise. Push the button Chloe!

Chloe: Okay!

Inkaliber: Looks down as a trap door opens. WRONG BUTTON!

Chloe: Uh oh.

Paris, France

Marinette sighed as she walked through the streets of Paris. She had just delivered a cake for her parents, now walking back a long distance. She could have turned into Ladybug to zip through the city, but she accidentally left the cookies for Tiki at home. Thus she was now on the long trek down a part of Paris she had never been to before. She was just hoping that she'd find a landmark she recognized so she could know where she was.

"I wish I didn't forget those cookies on the desk." Groaned the Parisian superhero. She opened her bag to reveal a very tired Tiki. "I'm sorry Tiki. I was in such a hurry that I didn't think about them." The red kwami smiled softly as she nodded.

"It's alright Marinette." Reassured Tiki. "We all have lapses in memory. I've gone for longer without food so I'll be fine. Just please try to remember next time." Marinette couldn't help but chuckle in embarrassment as she rubbed the back of her head.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU LOST MY RESERVATION!" cried a woman's voice. Marinette came to a stop as she turned towards the center of the commotion. Before her was a spa she had seen hundreds of times before. Her mother would always complain about how it called itself the best spa in Paris, yet it wasn't even in the top three. It was more the voice that came from the building that had the young hero walking towards it.

"It can't be." Gasped Marinette. She opened the front door, her eyes widening in shock. Standing at the desk was Jennifer Walters, the lawyer her parents used in their case against DuPont, and it was clear by her body language that she was not pleased. The woman was currently wearing a white t-shirt underneath a gray sweat jacket, gray sweatpants, white ankle socks, and black tennis shoes. She had clearly arrived from a jog as she nearly slammed her fist into the desk.

"I set this reservation up hours in advance. I even paid ahead of time. You can't seriously tell me that you just miraculously lost the reservation within that time." The clerk sniffed a bit as he pushed his glasses up his face. He flipped through the reservation book in disinterest.

"I'm sorry mademoiselle but there is no Jennifer Walters on the list." Answered the man. "If you'd like, I can get you set up in about five minutes. There will be a short notice fee." Jennifer growled as she clenched her fist. Her veins looked like they were turning a different color when Marinette ran over.

"Mrs. Walters! You're back in Paris!" The angry lawyer took a few deep breaths before turning to the approaching girl, her veins returning to normal.

"Well if it isn't Mrs. Marinette Dupain-Cheng. How many times do I have to tell you to call me Jen?" Marinette chuckled as she rubbed her arm, embarrassed twice in one day. "You look like you're doing better." The local girl nodded in response.

"It's been a hard road but I managed to find some online friends to help me through it. We ended up making an online chat with a support group. It's been helpful having someone to talk to outside of the situation, and some of my friends have already come forward and apologized for not being more involved." Jen smiled as she saw the smile on the Parisian's face. It always felt good to see one of her clients doing well.

Marinette soon realized her rambling as she shook her head. "Anyway, what's brought you back?" The lawyer smiled as she puffed her sweat jacket.

"Well I did a few cases in Metropolis recently and figured that I earned myself a vacation. I was going to enjoy a nice relaxing spa day at the 'best spa in Paris.' Apparently they lost my reservation." The man at the register held up his hands in defense, though it was a fairly apathetic defense. Marinette sighed as she shook her head.

"This spa only calls itself the best. The owner paid his way to the top from what my mom says. Hey, why don't I take you to a better spa across town? Maybe I could even give you a proper tour of the city." Jen smiled as she ignored the clerk's attempts to catch her attention.

"I think I'll take you up on that offer. It'll be good to know where all the places to make repeat visits are. Lead the way." Marinette smiled as she quickly made her way for the door. The man at the counter slumped forward in defeat, only to stand up to stretch his back.

"Eh!" cried the man. "I don't get paid enough to do this." He was about to close his book when he noticed something. He looked to where Jen's hand hat hit the counter, finding that there was a large crack in it. He gulped as he remembered that the counter was solid stone.

"Yeah. I really don't get paid enough for this."

Meanwhile

Kagami Tsurugi hummed as she looked over a scroll she had got in the mail. She had asked her cousin for more details on the breathing technique, as well as anything else she could use in defense against Hawkmoth's power. She was surprised when a scroll came in from her, the sender using braille so that even her mother could tell who it was sent to. Inside was more details on the technique she had promised Adrien, as well as some maneuvers that looked rather interesting. She read over the breathing technique once again.

"'In the face of adversity or chaos, this ancient technique helps the warrior to focus their mind on calming thoughts.'" Read the swordswoman. "'To start, close your eyes and focus your mind on things that you find relaxing. Then focus on things that bring you joy. While performing these tasks, the user should feel their chi run in parallel to their thoughts. The user will then need to manually bring the two together.'"

Kagami hummed once more as she moved to the next set of text. "'Once you master this process, you should then move to trying to do so with your eyes open. When you then master that, you should be capable of performing this technique in the midst of battle subconsciously.' We shall see how well that works." She was thankful that her mother was out this morning as she prepared her radio.

She turned it to her least favorite channel, instantly irking as she heard a fast paced rap begin to play. She was never a big fan of songs where the lyrics moved too fast, and this particular genre tended to get on her nerves. She closed her eyes as she tried to think of things that usually soothed her. This included classical music, a babbling brook, and even a good book. She soon found that she was getting calmer, but the noise was still problematic.

She decided to move forward as she thought of things that brought her joy. Manga she's read in the past, the taste of orange juice, and even her past victories in fencing tournaments. What soon brought a smile to her face, however, was the memories of her dates with Adrien. Soon she began to feel her heart resonate with the technique, even feeling a flow from her head to the rest of her body. She soon brought her hands together as she took a deep breath.

Suddenly the music was muffled in the background, as if it wasn't there at all. Kagami even felt lighter than ever, the weight of responsibilities she held upon her shoulders all but forgotten. The track finally ended as she stood up, the feeling vanishing as she did. She looked to the radio as she turned it off, not wanting to hear anymore songs from the genre. She heard a ding on her phone, prompting her to look at it.

Kimiko-san: Hey Kagami! I was just checking up on you.

Has the scroll helped any?

I was shocked when you called me about the situation in Paris.

Kagami smiled as she picked up her phone. Leave it to her cousin to know just when to message someone. She quickly began to type, not wanting to keep the girl waiting.

Kagami: It's been working rather well so far.

I just had my first successful use of the technique, though it will take time for me to fully grasp.

It's no substitute for having you here though.

Kimiko-san: Of course you'd say that.

With everything we already have to deal with, it'll be hard to find time for a proper visit.

I am coming at some point though.

I wanna meet this guy that swept you off your feet.

Kagami: Is that envy I smell?

Kimiko-san: Just get back to training.

Tell Auntie that I said hi!

Kagami shook her head as she put the phone away. There was one thing Kimiko-san got right. She had to keep at this. Taking a seat once again, Kagami tried to obtain the state without the music in the background. It was going to be a long day for her.

Elsewhere

Jennifer sighed as she stretched her limbs. Her and Marinette had finished the spa trip some time ago. The Parisian girl wasn't lying when she said the place was good. Her body has never felt more relaxed until now. She smiled as she watched the girl move forward.

"Over there is Chez Dimitri." Explained the designer. "My friend Chloe took me there one day and I have to say, the ratatouille is so good there. They also have pretty decent crepes. And over there is…" Marinette paused as her face morphed into terror.

"What's wrong kid?" asked Jen. "You look like you've seen…" She looked the same way, only to frown in recognition. Across the four way, Alya and Lila could be seen talking to each other. They hadn't noticed the touring duo yet, but they were rather close.

Jen looked to Marinette, seeing that she was hyperventilating. "Let's go somewhere else kid. I kinda wanted to check out the docks." She pulled the distressed girl away from the area with surprising strength. They thankfully left the area before the horrid duo could notice that they were there.

Soon they found themselves at the docks, Jen helping Marinette to sit down on a bench. The woman knelt down as she rubbed the girl's shoulders. "That's right. Just relax and take deep breaths." Marinette did as instructed, feeling her heartbeat calm down.

"I… I'm sorry Jen. I haven't seen Alya and Lila in a while and it just scared me to see them." The lawyer sighed as she nodded her head.

"It's alright. You handled it better than a lot of other people would. Now, we're going to get back to our tour when you've calmed down. Give me a moment to make a call." Marinette nodded slowly as Jen walked away to make said call.

The young Parisian did her best to breathe, even trying Chloe's counting method. It seemed to be helping as she found herself looking at her hands. She heard a shuffling in her bag, most likely Tiki trying to rub her through the fabric. She chuckled as she shook her head, happy to have the little Kwami with her. She heard the sound of footsteps as someone approached.

"Marinette?" asked a familiar voice. She looked up to see Juleka, the girl currently wearing the outfit from the day Rose called them to meet at the park (1). "Is everything alright? You look like you just had a crisis." Marinette sighed as she nodded her head.

"More like a crisis avoided." Answered the bakers' daughter. "The lawyer from my parents' court case, Jen, came here for a vacation and I've been giving her a tour. While passing Chez Dimitri, however, I saw Lila and Alya walking together. Jen pulled me away and we came here." Juleka growled under her breath, something that had surprisingly become a common sign of her frustration.

"I swear those two always have to ruin something good. I'm just glad you didn't actually have to deal with them. I thought Alya was placed under house arrest until classes started back." Marinette hummed at the statement, realizing just how valid the statement was. Soon Jen returned with a smile on her face.

"And that's why I called the police." Stated the lawyer. Juleka looked towards the woman, only to jerk back slightly in surprise. "Apparently her parents are currently looking for her. I told them where she was last seen and who she was with. They didn't seem too happy to hear that Lila was also out and about."

Jen shifted her gaze from Juleka to Marinette, her smile never changing. "Who's your friend kid?" Marinette grinned as she gestured to Juleka.

"This is Juleka." Introduced the designer. "She's a friend of mine and one of my recent commissions. Jules, this is Jennifer Walters." The girl nodded slowly, as if trying to find the words to say. Jen smiled, as if understanding the hesitation.

"I'm guessing you're pretty shy. I love your outfit by the way." Juleka felt a pressure release from her chest as she nodded.

"Th…thank you." Replied the girl. "I've been trying to find a new look, hence why I decided to go for a walk today. I was thinking some time at the docks would help me figure out how I want to be seen. I think I'm pretty close." Marinette grinned as she nodded her head.

"You can walk with us and tell me what you've come up with so far." Offered the designer. "I'm still in the design phase so anything you want added I can try to work into it. Of course, that's if Jen doesn't mind the added company." The duo looked at the woman, wondering what her response would be. Jen chuckled a bit as she nodded her head.

"I don't see why not. This is turning out to be quite the girls' day, though you missed the spa treatment. I'm gonna walk ahead a bit so you can have time to get your bearings Marinette." The woman walked along the docks a bit, leaving the local girls behind. Marinette stood to follow her, only to have Juleka lean closer to her.

"You didn't tell me your lawyer is Jennifer Walters!" whispered the normally shy girl in shock. "Do you even know who she is!? She's the cousin of Bruce Banner, and the Incredible She-hulk!" Marinette blinked at the information given to her, trying to process it. She jerked back as a cry of declaration almost left her lips, but Juleka's zipping motion caused her to reign herself in.

"SHE-HULK!?" nearly cried Marinette. "If a Hulk is here, then no doubt Hawkmoth will try to akumatized her if she goes hulk! We were lucky he wasn't active the first time she came here. We'll have to keep tabs on her while we're here." Juleka nodded, having the same idea in her head.

The duo quickly caught up with Jen, doing their best not to anger her or surprise her in any way. Things were mainly peaceful, save for a few close calls. These included steering her away from more shady parts of town, making sure that a crying kid was cheered up, and even asking a guy to walk his barking dog somewhere else with the lie that Jen had a headache. Thankfully nothing major came about and the girls were doing a rather good job of keeping their guest happy. Jen smiled as she took a deep breath.

"Paris really is such a peaceful place, when you aren't having to settle court cases." Commented the lawyer. "Still, I can see why you guys…" Her words were cut off as a splat was heard on her shoulder. Marinette and Juleka jerked back in shock as they saw bird poop crash on the woman's sweat jacket. Jen began to shake in anger, the girls now seeing her veins slowly turn green.

"Oh no!" cried Marinette. As soon as those words left her mouth, Hawkmoth's window opened as per normal. The man sounded his shock as he grinned evilly.

"Such unbridled rage, just waiting to break free!" cheered the villain. "With this much power, I could finally defeat the Miraculous Heroes!" He quickly created an akuma in his grasp, letting it go as it flew out the window. "Hurry, my little akuma, and evilize this monster!" The girls quickly tried to find ways to calm Jen down as they ran to her side.

"I…it's alright Mrs. Walters!" cried Juleka. "Calm down. We can always get you a new sweatsuit." Her words seemed to fall on deaf ears just as the akuma flew into view. Marinette began to panic as she tried to get her lawyer's attention.

"I'll design you one!" offered the designer. "It'll look even better and be more easily washed. We can go now and…" Jen suddenly began laughing, her veins going back to normal. She sent the girls a smile as she shook her head.

"It's fine girls." Reassured the woman. "It's just frustrating, that's all. No need to get up in arms about it. I'm okay." The local duo sighed in relief as the butterfly flew by them.

"No!" cried Hawkmoth in his lair. "Where did all that anger go!? I must find a way to incite her anger again. Perhaps an akuma targeting her will bring it back." He was about to order his butterfly to find another victim, intent clear in his eyes.

Before he could, however, the girls came across the scene of a ship being loaded. The workers were diligently doing their jobs, doing their best to avoid any incidents. Soon the sound of rope snapping caught the group off guard. A small crane was loading heavy crates onto the boat, currently having one in its grasp. All of a sudden the line snapped, causing the cargo to fall towards the dock below.

"Watch out!" cried one of the men. A worker found himself unable to dodge as the crate came crashing towards him. Jen moved faster than either girl could see, her skin starting to turn green. Her outfit ripped as she ran, revealing a one-piece white leotard with purple accents, short sleeves, and short legs. Her hair blackened as she fully transformed into the Incredible She-Hulk.

She immediately caught the crate before it could hit the man, holding it high above her head. Everyone looked on in shock, flabbergasted by the appearance of an actual Hulk in Paris. Jen grunted as she quickly moved the crate to a better holding position in front of her.

"You guys might wanna check your ropes more often." Suggested the lawyer. "This could have been a bad hit." The man nodded dumbly, still trying to process what just happened. Jen set the crate down, pulling off the piece of broken rope. The akuma suddenly blitzed forward with renewed vigor.

"Yes!" cried Hawkmoth. "There's that unbridled emotion! With a Hulk under my grasp, Ladybug and Chat Noir will be handing over their Miraculous in no time!" The others watched in terror as the butterfly flew closer to the rope. Marinette held her hand out in shock.

"Jen!" cried the girl. "Throw the rope away!" The lawyer couldn't react in time as the akuma merged into the object, transforming it into a dark purple. Everyone watched in absolute horror as Jen seemed unresponsive. She looked up as the butterfly symbol floated in front of her eyes.

"Madame Monstra. I am Hawkmoth. I give you the power to enforce your will upon others, thus increasing your strength. All I ask in return…" Jen groaned in annoyance as she twisted the rope in her hand.

"Okay, first off, Madame Monstra?" questioned the lawyer. "Who does your villain-naming, a circus ringleader?" Hawkmoth jerked a bit, not used to someone insulting his naming skills.

"I…it matters not how you feel about the name. If you work with me I can cure you of this affliction, in return for…" Jen quickly motioned with her free hand, as she called out her denial.

"I am not done talking. Second, since when is Hawkmoth a threatening villain name? Because I'm pretty sure with the sudden warning from my friend that you're some kind of supervillain. Not gonna lie, you need to have someone vet your names before you use them." Hawkmoth growled, angered by the continued slights at him.

"You listen to me. You want to be cured, yes? I can give you the power to split the monster from you and give you complete control over it. All I ask is that you bring me the Miraculous of Ladybug and Chat Noir." There was more silence at this offer, causing the others to grow concerned.

"Don't listen to anything he tells you!" cried a member of the crowd. Marinette looked to the side, surprised to see that it was Juleka who spoke up. "All he offers is lies and pain. He'd sooner goad you into something you aren't then actually help you!" Marinette smiled at the progress of her friend, only for a snort from Jen to cut through the tension.

"I am my monster, Hawky." Began the She-hulk. "I've spent years since becoming this learning to control my emotions. I'm not perfect at it but even Bruce wouldn't have a hard time telling you no, not to mention the big guy would force you out. So next time you try controlling a Hulk, know that we will find you." She took the rope in both hands, smirking as she gripped it tight.

She twisted the piece a bit as she prepared to pull it. "You won't like it when one of us does." She suddenly yanked the object two different ways, causing it to snap in half. The Akuma flew off into the air, apparently shaken by the refusal. There were a few whoops of excitement from the men as the butterfly symbol vanished.

"NO!" cried Hawkmoth. "That foolish woman! With the power of a Hulk in my grasp, it would have been the perfect storm! Still, there's a chance I could make an akuma to reign in that massive power." The butterfly quickly tried to fly away in search of a new victim as the girls ran up to Jen.

"You actually told Hawkmoth no!" cried Marinette. "That was so spectacular! So stupendous! So…" The designer found herself without a word to say, still shocked beyond belief. Jen chuckled as she shook her head.

"Incredible?" suggested the lawyer. "Mind explaining to me why a guy using a butterfly was trying to get me to be his delivery girl? That feels like something they should warn you about on the news." Marinette mentally kicked herself, quickly realizing that she still had a job to do. She looked at Juleka with a serious frown.

"You fill Jen in on the situation. I'll try to get Ladybug to go after the Akuma." Jen raised a brow at the name given to the butterfly as Jules nodded her head. Marinette quickly ran after the insect, secretly grateful that the spa had little sweets she could sneak to Tiki. Once she was in the clear, she opened her bag to allow her Kwami out.

She stepped up onto a fountain as she prepared to transform. "TIKI: SPOTS ON!" In a flash she was transformed into Ladybug. She quickly used her yoyo to sling up to the roof tops. She quickly caught up to the insect as it approached a gym.

"I hate this." Growled a frustrated bodybuilder. "I just can't get the same muscle as some of the guys here." Hawkmoth chuckled maniacally as he tightened his grip on his cane.

"Yes!" cheered the villain. "This is perfect. If I give him the power to steal strength, he could sap all of the power from She-hulk! I will have my perfect victory, post-haste!" Marinette growled as she slung ahead, getting in between the building and the butterfly.

"I don't think so!" roared the Parisian hero. She prepped her yoyo like usual, this time skipping on her normal opening phrase. "Time to de-evilize!" She threw the object forward, aiming to nab the butterfly out of the sky. She succeeded in her task, almost missing it as she rolled onto another rooftop.

She quickly pulled her yoyo back, snatching it in her hand. "Gotcha!" She opened the object, releasing the butterfly within. "Bye-bye little butterfly." From his lair, Hawkmoth seethed in rage.

"CURSE YOU LADYBUG! This would have been my Magnum Opus! Next time, I will find a way to destroy you!" The window closed as Hawkmoth turned away. All the while… he actually felt subconscious about his naming skills.

Back with Jen and Juleka, the normally shy girl was wrapping up explaining the Hawkmoth situation. Juleka had surprised herself with how she cried out earlier, kind of on an emotional high. She could only really attribute it to time spent with the guild and Danny being a good influence on her. She finally finished her explanation as she took a moment to breathe a bit. Jen hummed as she began to list off on her fingers, currently sitting on a bench in her human form.

"So, an evil guy is using a magical jewel usually meant for good to terrorize the city so he can get a more powerful set of magical bling." Began the lawyer. "He does so by taking over people who are emotionally vulnerable, though he is prone to making mistakes like with me and a robot. I still have questions on that one. Anyway, some teens were given the more powerful set of bling to protect the city under the names Ladybug, Honey Bee, and Black Cat." Juleka sighed as she nodded her head.

"That's pretty much the gist of it all." Confirmed the local girl. "My entire class has been targeted before, save for Marinette and our friend Adrien." Jen hummed, making note of the absence of attack.

"Sounds like you guys could use a little more help. Did you ever think to call someone like the Avengers?" Juleka let loose a satire chuckle as she bobbed her head back and forth.

"Being foreign based, the government tries to block out any calls to them. We've tried the Justice League since they even have a Paris registered number, but the Green Lantern on the phone kept telling us to stop prank calling them. So no. It's been ladybug, Chat Noir, any temporary wielders they bring in, and most recently Honey Bee." Jen couldn't help but chuckle as she shook her head.

"So much for the so-called Justice League I guess. The Avengers would have been on this like lightning." Juleka smiled softly as she shook her head.

"Actually from what I hear Ladybug finally got in touch with the young Leaguer, Nightwing. From what I've gathered he's going to help set things straight. All I can hope is they send people with strong emotional control. Last thing we need is a powerful superhero becoming one of Hawkmoth's puppets." Jen smirked as she nodded her head.

"I can understand that. Still, it sounds like you guys have quite the situation." Juleka nodded in agreement as Marinette ran over.

"I'm here guys!" cried the designer. "Looks like Ladybug took care of the Akuma before it could evilize someone. Thank goodness for that. So, I take it Jules caught you up to speed." Jen nodded as she stood up.

"From cringy outfits to bad names. From what I gather, the heroes here have a handle on it." Marinette felt a beam of pride, but she did her best to not show it. She hummed as she looked over the woman's outfit, realizing that it shrunk down to size.

"What kind of material is that for it to change size that way? I've never seen cloth stretch that far and come back the same way." Jen smirked as she crossed her arms.

"Tell you what. You design me a better suit for that, and I might just let you in on the secret." Marinette grinned at the opportunity as her lawyer stood up. "I gotta take care of something real quick. Excuse me girls."

The She-hulk stepped away from the duo as she pulled out her phone. Her mind was still filled with thoughts of Hawkmoth, the countless unknown villain attacks, and what the heck the Miraculous actually were. She might have to extend her vacation for a while. That being said, it wasn't going to be a vacation for long. She put the phone to her ear, making sure that the girls couldn't hear her.

"Bruce, we have a situation in Paris."

Meanwhile

Alya smiled as she looked over a catalog for a shop Lila told her about. It wasn't like her parents could keep her locked up forever, so surely they wouldn't mind if she slipped out for just a moment. Besides, Lila had been let out early and needed a bestie to do this with. Speaking of, the Italian girl could currently be seen smiling at a golden set of earrings she saw. The blogger smiled as she walked up to her friend.

"Oh my gosh." gasped the determined girl. "Those look so beautiful!" Lila sent a smirk towards her pawn.

"I know right?" agreed the Italian. "They would so match my eyes. Maybe I should mention them as something for my birthday. Mom still won't let me buy things with her card after the court case." Alya sighed, feeling bad for her bestie.

A plan began to flash in her head when the sound of police sirens caught her attention. Two police cars were passing by when they suddenly turned around. They parked in front of the store, making escape for anyone very hard. Lila turned to the scene concerned as two cops exited each vehicle. Two of the four men entered the building, instantly walking their way.

"Alya Césaire." greeted Officer Raincomprix. "We received a call from your parents that you snuck out while under house arrest. We're here to escort you back." Alya growled, angered that her parents found out AND called the police on her. Lila looked frightened as she backed away from the blogger.

"Thank goodness you found us officers." began the liar. "She dragged me out here against my will! I honestly didn't know she could be this crazy." Alya suddenly rounded towards the girl, shocked that her "bestie" would lie to throw her under the bus. The other officer shook his head as he approached the Italian.

"Not so fast, young lady." corrected the man. "Your mother informed us that you escaped your escort on the way back to your house. She wasn't very happy to hear about it from us." Alya's eyes widened as she brought a hand to her mouth. She trembled in fury as she looked the liar in the eye.

"You… you lied to me!" roared the blogger. "You said you were let out early! I came here to celebrate your freedom with you, and you go and throw me under the bus!" Lila shrugged as she chuckled in embarrassment. Before she could blame it on her "lie disease", Officer Raincomprix cleared his throat.

"You two will both be escorted home in separate vehicles." informed the man. "Your parents decided to deliver punishment to you themselves. If this happens again, the court will decide what to do. Please come quietly." Both girls did as instructed, Alya glaring at Lila the whole while.

Alya was loaded into the back of the police cruiser, still miffed at the way Lila did her dirty. She lied to her AND tried to push the blame on her. How could she do this!? It was almost like she lied on purpose, much like Marinette… Alya's eyes widened as her face twisted in horror, a terrible feeling wheeling up in her gut.

"What else has she lied about?"

Chloe: …Well that was a very interesting chapter. I haven't heard of She-Hulk but she seems like an interesting character. I heard she had a bad show though. I'm also excited to see that version of Alya finally get a clue. Hopefully everything turns out alright in the end…

Okay I'm starting to worry about Pops. Maybe I should get someone to go down after him. How deep was that…

Inkaliber: Slams door open, ears dripping black. Why do I even have that button? Rubs ears to make them return to normal. Thanks for taking over Chloe. That was a doozie.

Chloe: It wasn't anything huge. I just did what you showed us to look out for. I had to call in one of the others when something looked odd.

Inkaliber: Well you did fantastic. I need to close out the chapter. Why don't you go relax.

Chloe: Alright.

Inkaliber: Anyway, what did you guys think of the chapter? Did you like how Jen was introduced? How about her denial of Hawkmoth's power? Let me know what you think down below and I'll try to get back to you ASAP. This is Inkaliber, signing out.
