Cat Noir and Lycanthria bounded across the rooftops before coming to a stop on top of the Francois Dupont High School where they found their spotted partner looking out like a woman on a mission. Ladybug pulled out her yoyo,

"What did those two do? Oh," She turned around as they landed, "Lycanthria, Cat Noir. Did you get my messages?"

Lycanthria nodded, "Sure did Red."

"I can't wait to know more m'lady'tective. Who's the suspect?" The black clad hero lent on his baton.

"Gabriel Agreste," the cat stumbled and his canine sibling looked grim, "you know the fashion designer? I forgot to mention it yesterday in between all the excitement amongst getting our new partner."

Adrien looked shaken, Naia placed a steadying hand on his back. Naia looked up and swiftly spoke for him, "What's your proof?"

Ladybug stammered, "Um, uh. . . Well, you see, I kinda can't say-"

"Oooh, that's your proof." The lupine hero turned to her friend, "Ladybug and I found this book in a park near here, it contained drawings of people and jewelry that looks like his recent lines but were identified as miraculouses."

"Yeah, that's what happened. Are- are you okay kitty?" Marinette confirmed, anxious for her friend and relieved at the excuse.

"We need to get to the bottom of this, soon." Cat said in a stony voice.

The insect themed superhero turned to the wolf-girl, "You're our resident expert. What do you know?"

Naia cringed, 'think fast! Think fast!'" I'm sorry to say I can't comment. Seriously, I hate pulling a Dumbledore but it's the one thing Fu refuses to let me budge on and frankly I agree with him somewhat. He has 'forbidden'," she scoffed, "me to speak of it. Fool, he thinks he can control me? I'm the queen of loopholes, but for now I'm not going to try. I know I can say this:

Cat knows this but, Ladybug, Moth miraculous wielders can posses themselves with an Akuma." The bug gasped, "Unless I say someone is off the suspect list, not one Akuma is off the suspect list. If I told you who Hawkmoth is and you went for a frontal assault like what may be inevitable, you would lose without question and would have almost no chance of escape. Hawkmoth may be getting stronger with time, but so do we; and while Hawkmoth has little in the way of allies and powerups, we will soon have expendable flows of such."

The Ladybug hero was thinking about - and did not like - what she was hearing.

"And finally, as backward as it may seem, the akumas - in the long run - are causing a LOT of personal improvement in many citizens of Paris and will continue to do so. If you want to argue with me on that then look back on your own life right now compared to before Stoneheart, before Hawkmoth. You have grown so much, learned so much, become even more like Ladybug in and out of the mask and have learned how to prioritise and develop your relationships and those are just a few examples. Is it so hard to believe that these situations are bringing people to peace and together in the long run?"

Ladybug's facial features softened and Cat Noir stared transfixed at the two heroines as they held eye contact. Finally Ladybug sighed,

"I won't go against your advice. Because while I've grown, I'm not wise enough to contradict knowledge of the future effectively."

The girls smiled before having their attention pulled towards the Eiffel tower, or rather, where it once stood; because thanks to the Collector, there was now a blank space were the monument should have been.

"Come on Red. We gotta go fight my first Akuma."

"Looks like someone decided to act like a toddler having a tantrum," Naia commented as the three heroes landed in Gabriel Agreste's office.

Adrien looked down at a framed drawing that had been cracked when tossed, "Are you sure you're okay Cat Noir?" Ladybug asked. The boy nodded stiffly.

"Let's keep looking since the house is empty for now." Naia interjected.

Marinette gasped, "He's got a son and a houseguest! We gotta make sure nothing's happened to them." the heroes bolted out of the room and saw the Collector on the stairs,

"Why who is this? A new hero?" The collector asked as he launched his book at them, "Why I'm sure Hawkmoth would appreciate your miraculous as well as the bettle and the manges, you vixen!"

"I think you'll find I'm no fox," Lycanthria growled whilst conjuring her bow and quiver, "But a rather pissed of Wolf" she shot an arrow at the supervillain which he caught in his book.

"You won't be able to escape little cub!" Gabriel chucked his book again and the heroes jumped to the first floor balcony. Naia jumped the other way to the bug and cat duo and took her opportunity when Collector chased after the OG pairing.

Lycanthria twirled her bow and morphed in into a curved bone knife that resembled a crescent moon or a fang. The heroine plunged it into the ground beneath her and shouted,

"Call of the Wild!"

A chorus of howls blew through the mansion's doorless doorway and from the crack in the ground her knife had mad a silver set of paws began to walk towards the dining room. She jumped down at the same time as her teammates and ran into the room, her friends followed her in good faith.

Ideas began popping into her head and she called them out freely,

"Guys! Chuck as many individual things as you can at him!" she lobbed a candelabra towards him and it went wide but the Collector dove to catch it, "Try and miss slightly. Its like Atalanta and the golden apples, He can't NOT catch them!"

Cutlery, vases, playes and even chairs went flying. Good old Hawky caught them all. When there was nothing to easily throw at the Collector, Naia pulled her companions back out of the room. The Lycan recalled her bow as ladybug told her partners and they dove behind the staircase,

"The akuma's gotta be in that book,"

"But how do we get it?" Cat began,

"Without getting sucked in?" Lupa finished. Ladybug looked like if she had the time for emotion then, she would be miffed at how in sync they were.

"Lucky Charm!" Lady bug summoned a peddle and the staircase was vanished.

"Adrien's room! Quickly!" Lycanthria called as she intercepted the book again with a volley of ever and ivory tipped arrows. She kept firing as Ladybug and Cat Noir made use of her advice and the lucky charm. Finally she stopped as he got out of range and made his way to Ladybug and placed his book on her. It did nothing and before Gabriel could remove any filler pieces, Ladybug kicked the book out of his hands and an arrow shot all the way through it.

Ladybug used her miraculous cure and captured the Akuma that had possessed Gabriel. Lycanthria jumped down to meet Ladybug,

"Pound it!" Cat Noir ran over to his father instead of joining the celebration,

"Are you alright FAA-sir?"

Gabriel looked around, "What happened? Where's my son?"

Naia muttered unintelligibly, "now he cares"

Cat Noir didn't notice, "You were akumatized by Hawkmoth, but you were saved."

"Yes, yes but where is my son?" Gabriel looked around the room.

Adrien stumbled for an excuse, "He's probably hiding sir, he should come out soon though."

Ladybug interjected, "He's right Mr Agreste, otherwise he would have returned here when I called the miraculous cure."

He calmed down, "Good, he means far too much for me to lose him.

Lady bug smiled.

"Excuse me," a voice said from behind the four, they turned and saw a newly returned Nadia Chamack with a camera man who must have snuck in, "miss wolf girl? Sorry to intrude Mr Agreste but I just would like to ask. Who are you miss? We've never seen you before."

Naia looked at Mrs Chamack before answering, " My name is Lycanthria, I am a hero. I've been working behind the scenes as long as Ladybug and Cat Noir have been out front. Due to unforeseen circumstances I've been dragged out and now have to battle on the frontlines, and will continue to do so. But I'm sorry to say that I must leave, my transformation is soon to run out. See you for the next hunt!"

The new hero twisted her bow into a staff and vaulted out of the window.
