Word Count: 2.8k words.
You wake up to a loud banging on your bedroom door. You groan and open your eyes in a squint from your rude awakening. You move your comforter to the side as you get up to walk to the doorknob. You untwist the lock before opening it to see Lemon freeze his 20th knock.
“Why in the fuck are you still sleeping? God damnit, luv, you really need an alarm or something,” he says shaking his head. “Lemon, what’s going on?” you ask with a sleepy voice, rubbing your eyes.
He begins, “I lost my dvd for season 3 of Thomas and was wondering if you’ve seen it anywhere?”
“Is that really why you came to my side of the house, banging at my door like you’re dying?” you ask with a confused frown.
“Well I obviously didn't come here to look at your cute little bumblebee pajamas.” He motions to your small black tank top, with an embroidered bee on the middle below your chest line, with tiny yellow bumblebee shorts to match. He smirks, “But I’m glad I did. Best thing I’ve seen all week, honestly.”
You pinch the bridge of your nose and sigh. “No, I haven’t seen it. Have you checked your suitcase from the last job? You probably forgot it in there since you take fucking forever to unpack.”
Lemon eyes almost pop out of his head while he pratically jumps on you to engulf your face in a huge embrace. He peppers what seems like a million kisses on the top of your scalp due to your height difference before finally releasing you and sprinting towards his room. You shake your head with a smile before yelling, “Don’t run in the house!! The floors just got waxed!” You hear a thud from across the corridor that you can’t see with a “I’m okay!!” in the distance before he continues his search.
You decide that since you’re already up, you should just head downstairs for some food. You grab your slides from the entrance of your bedroom before making your way to the kitchen. Sitting at the kitchen island are Ladybug and Tangerine having some lunch. They both turn around to see who came into the room and immediately they both start smiling widely in surprise and whistling at the sight of your new pj's. You can’t help but laugh and blush at their ridiculous reaction to your new favorite investment. “Give us a twirl, darling!” Tangerine shouts and you follow his command with a blowing of a kiss. Ladybug grabs his heart dramatically swooning at your actions while Tangerine reaches out for your hand to pull you closer to them. “Oh, BB, is this what you’ve been spending your paychecks on? Those are adorable!” Ladybug says moving his hand to touch the loose fabric on the end of the shorts. “Damn, good quality, too. Might need to get some myself.” You giggle at his comments before saying, “Thank you, lovebug. I just had it delivered, yesterday.”
“Well, you need to get a shit ton more because if I don’t wake up every day to this, I’m going to be fucking pissed off.” Tangerine states while gawking at you, rubbing his mustache as looks at you up and down. Yuichi comes into the room with his head down on his phone. “Yuichi, look at BB!” Ladybug snaps causing him to look up swiftly and he smiles softly admiring how cute you look. He walks up to you and rubs your back up and down with one hand. “These new, Hachi?” he says staring at your figure. You bite your lip and nod before asking, “You like it?” He nods slowly, “I love it.” He pecks your temple gently and moves his hand back to his pockets. “I got to go now, Wataru is waiting for me to pick him up from school. I’ll be back, later.” He makes his way out the door. “Bye, Yuichi!” everyone yells before he closes the front door.
Tangerine grabs you by the waist and pulls you into the space between his legs. “What has our BB planned out for the day, hmm?” He asks while squeezing at the ends of your hips. “Well, I wanted to grab something to eat. You guys got us some takeout for lunch?” You peek at the marble behind them, seeing huge ‘THANK YOU’ bags laid out with styrofoam takeout containers opened with pasta inside. “Yeah, we decided to let you take a break from cooking today since it is our day off.” Ladybug says while bringing his hand up to your cheek to squeeze it lightly. “Wanted our Bumblebee to relax today.”
“My favorite alfredo pasta! Aww, thank you guys!” you say grabbing Tangerine’s face and pecking his cheek, then doing the same to Ladybug immediately after, in gratitude.
You move away from them to grab yourself a plate from the cupboard, serving yourself with a fork before eating it happily in the seat between them.
When you finished, you wiped your face with a napkin before getting up and placing the plate in the dishwasher. Tangerine got up to do the same and when he looked at your top, he paused you and motioned you towards him. “Oh, gorgeous, look what you did. Got a bit of sauce on ya. Let me help you.” He wraps his large hands around your hips and pulls you up in a free space on the counter. You squeal at his sudden actions.
“Tan, what are you doing?” You giggle but he shushes you. “Got to get it off before it stains, luv.” He says, keeping his eyes on you while he moves his head down. He brings his tongue out and slowly starts licking at the bit of your top that sits right above the most sensitive part of your breasts. Your breath starts to hitch as he tries sucking out at the spot. You can’t believe the pool that is already beginning to form in your panties even though he hasn’t touched the sensitive bud that is protruding so close to his mouth. He finally pulls away and clicks his tongue in disappointment. “Ladybug, have a look at this, will ya?” Tangerine says still keeping his eyes entirely on you.
Ladybug gets up and walks to your side of the kitchen island, now he too is staring at the stain. “Man, that is pretty bad.” Ladybug then brings his thumb up and rubs at the stain, causing you to shiver at his touch. “I reckon we need to take it off, don’t we?” Tangerine’s fingers ran along the waistline of the top. “Oh yeah, definitely. We need to get it washed before it gets any worse.” Ladybug says while nodding back as if he confirmed his diagnosis. Tangerine smirks, “You heard the man, luv?”
Oh, you know exactly what they’re trying to do and man they’re good. Tangerine starts hooking his fingers and pulling your top over your head, your bare tits falling gracefully. Tangerine winks and walks off to take it in the direction of the laundry room. You’re left alone with Ladybug who immediately starts moving your thighs apart and gripping them to his sides with your body now pressed against his. “Gotta cover you up somehow, BB?” He says with his iconic wide smile while pulling you off the counter with your arms and legs wrapped all around his upper half. “Where are you taking me, lovebug?” You whisper in his ear. He responds, “You’ll see.”
He walks silently for a minute before kicking a bedroom door open. He finally places you down gently with your back still away from the scenery. He closes the door leaving it open slightly. You turn around and gasp at the beautiful setup in front of you. Ladybug starts hugging you from behind while chuckling at your reaction. In front of you is a lovely display of a dimly lit chandelier with a room full of gorgeous red furniture with white rose petals surrounding the whole carpet. In the middle is a king-sized bed, with silk black sheets that are dying to be slept in. You’ve never seen this room before since you spend most of your time in The Hivemind. You didn’t think there could be a room so relaxing and sensual in your own home.
“We were planning hard on what to do on our day off.” Ladybug states softly in your ear. You smile and ask, “We?” Then you hear the door creak and close. “Yes, we, darling.” That accent coming closer is now facing you, moving closer with every slow step. He brings his hands to your cheeks. “Got to show our girl how much we appreciate her.” He says before his lips become one with yours in an instant.
Tangerine’s mustache gives the sweetest tickles all over your mouth as Ladybug starts kissing your neck. You feel the warm hands of Ladybug moving up towards your breasts, massaging them. His index finger on each hand rubbed each nipple making you moan into Tangerine’s delicious lips. Tangerine takes this opportunity to let his tongue slide into your mouth. Even with all this contact, your body begins whimpering, begging for more. Upon hearing this, Tangerine and Ladybug open their eyes to give each other a look and both start to pull away slowly. “C’mon, BB, let's get you comfortable.” Ladybug says as he lightly spanks you.
He and Tangerine begin to guide you towards the bed. You crawl onto the biggest bed you’ve ever been on in your life. You lay your head against the softest pillows with your legs slightly bent up. You watch as each of the men undress. You are drooling at every layer they shed and need to bite your thumb to keep you contained. After they are fully stripped, Tangerine arrives on your left side and Ladybug to your right. They begin touching your body softly as they get comfortable. Before you know it, they start kissing you passionately, each taking turns on your lips, your neck, and your breasts.
“You really like this, huh? You like being our good little whore, sweetheart?” Ladybug says with a heavy, rough voice you’ve never experienced from him before. You moan and nod into Tangerine’s lips while you squeeze your thighs together, trying to gain some relief from the building excitement. Tangerine pulls away and moves his hands down to your hips. He grabs both your underwear and shorts in one swift movement, throwing them across the room. He begins to hook your thighs into his arms and pulls you towards him, roughly. You squeal loudly in surprise at the sudden action. Tangerine parts your legs wide and begins to position himself to your entrance; rubbing up and down your pussy. Looking up at you he says, “God, you look so fucking sexy all spread out for us. You’re god damn dripping. You’ve been dreaming of this, haven’t you? Fucking slut, you better be ready for me.” You nod eagerly, needy eyes staring deep into his.
He slides into you while groaning loudly, “Ugh so fucking tight, gotta give you a nice proper fuck now, don’t I?” He tightly grabs your hips, slamming his cock into you with a sheer force that has you moaning in a way that you can feel your own voice echoing back. Ladybug moves down to your tit and puts it in his mouth, sucking and flicking your nipple with his tongue. As he does so, his hand is moving down to your clit, rubbing circles exactly where you want it. “Yes! Oh, lovebug, that feels so good!” You throw your head back, experiencing a pleasure so heightened, that you can already feel your orgasm brewing at a pace that has never been achieved.
Tangerine begins to pound you faster in a perfect rhythm. “Oh fuck! Daddy, please don’t stop, just like that! YES!” you scream with heavy pants in between every word. “Fuck yeah, take my fucking cock. Beg for my cum, slut. I’m gonna spill it all inside, fucking beg for it!” he says while Ladybug spanks your clit. “Do as he says, my dear. You want to cum, too, don’t you? Do it.” Ladybug rubs your bud a bit faster which leads a huge O to appear on your face. “I’m so close! Please cum with me, daddy! Cum inside me, daddy!” you grip the sheets tightly to hold onto your climax a little more for him. His thrusts get rougher and rougher. “Ahhh fuckkkk!” His huge load begins to fill you up, but he is still hitting you with deep, hard thrusts. This sends you over the edge, giving you the biggest orgasm you’ve ever experienced in your life. All the sensations, leave your mind blank and your eyes rolling to the back of your head. Ladybug kisses your cheeks and rubs your head softly, trying to calm down your shaking body.
Tangerine starts pulling out of you slowly, groaning at the release. “Holy shit, dunno how I even lasted up to now.” He lets out a breathy chuckle and looks up at Ladybug. “Well, you’re up now, mate.” He pats his friend’s shoulder before getting up and grabbing a cig with his lighter. “I’ll be on the balcony having a smoke, call me when your done, yeah?” He walks off with his sexy bare ass on full display. Ladybug smiles and strokes your cheek with his thumb. “Don’t worry, BB, I’ll be a little more gentle. Just take a deep breath for me and enjoy.” He pecks your lips so sweetly. Your chest is still red and heaving from your last orgasm, but for some reason, you feel the knot that just went loose inside you begin to tangle again under his touch. Just the way he is looking at you have you spreading your legs wide for him, ready for his love. He positions himself, his face still hovering over yours, looking deep into your eyes. His mouth gapes slightly at the contact and your legs interlock around his hips causing him to bottom out on you. He somehow still stretches you out deliciously in this new position. He begins to thrust in a sensual and steady rhythm that makes you feel every pulse going through the both of you. With every intimate thrust, you both are moaning messes in each other’s ears. “So good for me, BB! So fucking good, oh god.” He moves his lips from your ears to your lips, kissing you passionately while moving his hips faster. Your whimpers are muffled by his tongue and you can feel yourself getting closer. Ladybug pulls away with a pant, “You think you’re ready for one more load, babygirl?” You nod, your foreheads pressing together. You grip his biceps to hang onto reality. “Yes, oh my love, please… Please give me your cum. I’m s-so close.”
He grips onto the headboard and continues to thrust deeply into you. “Oh fuck, I’m gonna fucking blow right into you, baby! Holy shit!” He grunts as your hands move to his back, scratching at the surface. “Oh, fill me up, Daddy! Make me cum again, YES!” You moan loudly as your second orgasm washes over you along with his hot thrusts pumping you full of his cum. “Oh, fuck! Don’t. Spill. A. Fucking. Drop.” He says within his final deep thrusts. He pants and falls beside you on the bed. You both are taking a minute to catch your breath before he motions you to come closer for a cuddle. “Tangerine! Get your perky ass back here! It’s cuddle time, stop fucking up your lungs!” He shouts as Tangerine puts his cig out and walks back into the bed. “Mate, you’re gonna fuck up your lungs with how god damn loud you’re shoutin'.” He chuckles and cuddles up beside you and pecks your shoulder softly. “Not as bad as you though, luv, that’s for fucking sure.” You giggle weakly. “I love you guys.” You kiss each one of them sweetly on the lips. “Thank you for giving me the best day off ever.”

Unlucky Bug | Ladybug
pairing: ladybug (Bullet Train) x female reader
requested plot: “What if you wrote something for when Ladybug accidentally kill’s someone (again) and reader comforts him and washes off blood from his face and hands?”
authors note: I hope you don't mind me giving reader a spy name (chives)! It’ll sound stupid but there's a meaning to it :)
warnings: mentions of a dead guy, obvs, language, some mentions of violence, just a cute lil story about an unlucky bug and his favourite person.
“You know… The first time I would believe it was an accident, but again?”
Ladybug sighed from behind you, watching as you bend down to check the pulse of his most recent escapade. “He’s definitely dead, there’s a uh - there’s a knife in his back.”
“Oh,” You pull the guy forward, and fair enough a blade was stuck between his shoulder blades. “You could’ve told me that before I checked for a heartbeat, now I just look stupid.”
“Not stupid, careful - you’re good like that,” He reassured, and you stood up, wiping your hands on your pants. Ladybug was grateful that Maria had partnered you with him for the job, knowing that as much as he was on his ‘spiritual journey’, you were the brains behind the muscle. “I just don’t get why this always happens to me.”
“It’s apart of the job buggy,” He sighed at your words again, shaking his head. “What? This guy came in here with the intent to kill you, what were you going to do? Give him peaceful thoughts?”
He frowned before he slowly nodded. “You’re right, of course you’re right, I-I just didn’t mean for this to happen, not like this.”
“Quite literally stabbing someone in the back?”
Ladybug nods, pointing at the dead man. “His own knife fell between the couch cushions and when I kicked him off of me, he landed on the… Yeah.”
You looked at him blankly, your lips in a thin line.
“I’m serious Chives, you just had to be here to see it,” His voice trails off, his head tilting as his eyes narrow. “Speaking of, where were you? I thought I told you to stay in sight.”
“I was relocating the briefcase because your bar spot was too obvious,” You shrug at him. “And I believe you, after that wolf guy I think you really are just weirdly unlucky.”
“Makes me think I need a name change, which reminds me,” Ladybug winces as he stretches out his arms. “What’s with Chives? What happened to Azalea?”
“Maria insisted on both of us having changes,” You admit. “I liked Azalea, but Chives is cuter.”
“Azalea sounded badass, now if I heard that Chives is after me I think I’d, I don’t know, laugh a little?” He chuckles at his own joke, quickly stopping as you stare at him with another blank expression. “Oh come on, you can’t tell me you would feel intimidated by Chives?”
“I’m sorry, is someone named Ladybug saying something about intimidation?” Was he serious right now? It was your partners turn to give a blank look, knowing you were right. “Look, it doesn’t matter - where’s my bag? We need to get you cleaned up before we continue with the job.”
He points behind you, wiggling his finger at the stack of bags left by other passengers. Fair enough, your backpack is squished between two duffle bags.
Ladybug looks down at his hands as you retrieve your belongings. “You got some wet wipes in there?” He turns them over, grimacing at the amount of blood that coated his skin. “None of this is mine before you ask.”
“I’ve got wipes and a new shirt, you’re lucky I packed extra.” You throw the bag over your shoulder, before grabbing Ladybug by the collar of his shirt, dragging him towards one of the trains many bathrooms. He follows, choosing not to comment on the way you pulled at him.
He knew better. “You packed me clothes?”
Nodding, you pressed the open button, quickly taking the time to look in both directions for any people. It was empty, and you pushed Ladybug into the bathroom, ignoring his mumbled complaints at your ‘manhandling’. The door locks behind you.
“I usually don’t complain about how rough you’re being sweets, but take it easy,” He watches as you take off his glasses and bucket hat, his eyes widening as you reach for the bottom of his shirt. “That guy threw me into the drink display so I’d avert your eyes if you don’t want to see the damage.”
He lifts his arms up, letting you pull the dirty top up and over his head. You throw the shirt behind you, raising your eyebrow at him with a small smile. He had some bruising appearing on his chest, small cuts here and there on his stomach and sides. “I think I’ve given you more marks.”
Ladybug huffs, shaking his head at your timing.
No one really knew what to call your relationship. You were partners, sure, but you were also partners. You both cared for each other, but with the job it was risky to give yourself any further attention than necessary.
Maria knew about it, supported it even - but you were adamant she only did as the two of you together had more successful jobs than any other on the team.
He holds his hand out for the new shirt but you slap his hand away, pointing at the sink. “Clean first, shirt second.” Ladybug holds his hands over the sink, muttering a yes m’am.
The sink turned on automatically, and he shivered at the hot water. He watches intently as you reach for the wet wipes, letting the package rest on the counter as you use your hands to clean his skin.
You did your own thing, choosing not to speak as you focused on getting all the dry blood that had splattered on his forearms - even the wristband of his watch. The sink wasn’t the biggest, and the white bowl would need a thorough clean as it became stained.
“You’re good at this.” Ladybug cleared his throat, and you gave him a confused look.
“I’ve had experience getting blood out of things, ” You shrugged as he laughs, again slapping his hand as the action caused him to move away from the sink. “Seriously, years of experience.”
“Not cleaning,” He corrects, looking down at you. “Taking care of people, you’re good at it.”
“Oh, thank you? This isn’t the first time we’ve been somewhere like this,” You admit, turning his hand over, taking a mental note at how much bigger his palm was than yours. “Although I think a Japanese bullet train is a first, I guess we should have a bucket list for this kinda thing.”
Ladybug just smiles at you, watching as you ramble about how often he finds himself in situations like this. You note that he had actually been good for awhile, having been on his journey of finding inner peace.
He hadn’t changed much - sure he would throw in the odd quote here and there albeit said wrong, but he was still the man you cared for.
Just a little more peaceful.
“What’re you thinking about?” You ask him, throwing him out of his train of thought.
“A lot of things,” He admits, quickly staring at the closed door. “The dead guy out there, you, this job, just a lot of things.”
“I don’t know if I like that I’m being mixed with a dead guy,” You joke at him before looking up at him, watching as his lips turn into a frown. “Hey hey, seriously Buggy, talk to me.”
“This was supposed to be an easy job Chives, in and out,” Ladybug replies, turning his hands to entwine his fingers with yours. “But now I got two dead guys out there that I didn’t even mean to kill, I mean, how do you actually accidentally kill not just one, but two people? Keep in mind these were two people that were trying to kill me and I don’t know why, and now there’s those fruit twins and I just don’t understand -“
“Hey,” You call him by his name, his real name, stopping him in his tracks. His eyes widen, and you move his hands away from the sink, letting the water turn off. “You can’t blame yourself for what’s happened today, I told you out there that those guys were going to kill you whether you fought back or not. These jobs? They’re never ever easy, I think we’ve done enough now to know that nothing is just handed to us, we have to fight for it.”
He nods at you, but you shake your head, continuing before he speaks. “I know your therapist is giving you all of these tips and tricks about how to deal but at the end of the day, no one knows how to deal with the shit we do but each other.”
Grabbing a wet wipe from its packaging, you indicate for Ladybug to crouch down a little, having noticed some blood on his cheek and neck. “I’m serious buggy, I know it’s easy for me to say that you just have to keep going when I’m not the one doing the hard yards - but you don’t have to go through it alone.”
Wiping at his cheeks, he smiles down at you, a large smile that beats all of his small smirks and lip quivers.
“I love you.” He admits, and you return the smile, grinning from ear to ear.
“I love you too,” You pat his cheek, a sign that he was clean. “You know… I wasn’t going to say anything because I’d be throwing Maria under the bus but,” You reach down into your backpack, pulling out your partners clean shirt and handing it to him. “You wanna know why Maria called me Chives? And you Ladybug?”
He grabs the shirt, his eyebrows furrowing as he pulls it over his head. “Because of the irony? I’m super unlucky sweets.”
You fix his collar before running your hands over his chest and over his shoulders. “Yes and no, she changed your name before she changed mine. Did you know that Ladybugs are obsessed with herbs?”
He ponders for a moment, realising where you were getting at. His mouth opens slightly in thought. “Chives is definitely cuter.”
“I think so too.”

Intoxicating
Tags: hybrids, hunting, dumbification, vore
I love the idea of predators being able to use their scent and pheromones while hunting to dumb down a prey.
Sweet, enticing waves of hunger and reassurance mix together in the most heady cloud that settles on the prey's skin and fills their lungs, intoxicating them. It fogs their mind, clouds their judgement, and makes them so easy to convince that being eaten is such a good idea. That it's the prey's own idea. Within minutes of playing with their meal like a cat with a mouse, the predator's little prey is practically begging to be devoured.
Every single little thing about predators are traps to invite prey to come closer, to lure them into submission, and that extends to their scent. They're gorgeous and distracting, with the most delectable mix of flavors in their pheromones that has any prey forgetting their own name for a moment... just long enough to be pounced and convinced that they would really, really love to get inside of the predator’s gut. That it would be so snuggly and safe... that it would be so relaxing and enjoyable. And, yes... yes that sounds like such a good idea. The best idea.
Jungkook was running for his life just moments ago, but now he can't remember why he was so scared. The wolf on top of him is so pretty and sweet, and he just proposed the best idea Jungkook has ever heard. He's never been inside of the belly of a predator before... it sounds so cozy and warm...
Namjoon purrs down at the cute little bunny who was too fat and slow to escape him. He has him pinned to the forest floor, and watches in pleasure as his enticing predator scent works its magic. Jungkook's eyes practically cloud over as he breathes in the scent, dumbing down and becoming so willing to be the wolf's next meal. His pupils blow wide and he whimpers with want as he mindlessly begs the huge predator over him to swallow him down so he can curl up safe and warm in the wolf's belly.
The predator indulges the bunny in his begging request. He lifts the plump treat up and swallows him down. His gut swells out to accommodate the fat bunny, and Namjoon burps in satisfaction. He's too lazy and heavy to drag himself back to his den, so he curls up in a cozy patch of moonlight in the forest and lounges in bliss. His gut gently jiggles back and forth as the prey inside squirms against the restrictive walls of his stomach. The predator chuckles and waits for reality to set in.
Prey are so dumb and easy to catch. They're so easy to hunt and convince that they should be his next meal. So delicious to swallow and so pleasurable to digest. The wolf belches as his gut gurgles, clearly pleased at the size of its plump prey. Namjoon rubs over the fat swell, cooing to the treat inside that he'll take such good care of him. The dumb little thing doesn't need to know that means he'll be devoured and turned into warm, yummy fat settled in the predator’s belly by morning.
Namjoon licks his lips as the drugs that the prey had breathed in from his predator scent wear off. The poor little bun realizes just what's happened once it's too late, that he's now tucked inside of the wolf's belly, waiting to be gobbled up. Namjoon chuckles when the prey whines and begs to be let out, trying to fight against the overpowering strength of the predator's digestive muscles, and failing as they start slowly kneading.
It's such a delight to feel the fiesty prey lose their fight, eventually settle down, and weakly submit to their fate. Such a delight to feel his belly growl in triumph and hear the little whimpers filtering from beneath the layers of thick padding.
With his meal now limp and willing, all that's left is for Namjoon to lounge back, rub his paws over his gut in greedy bliss, and enjoy the immense satisfaction of devouring a prey.

Mari wears Chat Merch fic
Originally posted under this post by @glockenzspiel, figured I may as well dedicate its own. Not a fanfic writer but I like writing, and I was feeling inspired XD Disclaimer: only watched a few eps of MLB but really wanna get into it. Most of my knowledge has been absorbed through tumblr and osmosis. Make a lot of assumptions based on y'all and your reactions, so there is the slightest of angst re: the most recent season where Chat feels like Ladybug is replacing him. I also yadda yadda past the reveal bc don't wanna touch that with my limited knowledge. But anyway! Enjoy!
2k+ words. Oneshot. About that one black tshirt with a new green paw print on it that apparently yall have collectively decided Marinette owns. Otherwise mostly wholesome.
Chat’s eyes were brighter than usual.
Ladybug watched in bemusement as he came screeching to a halt on their way back from another successful mission, and stood in front of a little street stall. The stall owner seemed to have fled to safety during the last akuma attack.
It was covered top to bottom in Chat Noir merchandise.
This wasn’t an unusual sight. There were dozens of Chat Noir-specific merch vendors all over the city. There were just as many Ladybug stalls. There were even whole department store sections dedicated to celebrating the resident heroes of Paris.
“This is so cool!” Chat gushes, his eyes glowing a vibrant green, hands clutching at a black shirt. Ladybug peered around him and noticed the black t-shirt had a single neon green paw print in the centre. She raised an eyebrow.
“Really, kitty? There’s probably a dozen like it” she chuckled, as he whirled around with a mock offended look on his face.
“How can you not appreciate how incredible this design is, milady?!” he argued as she smirked at him. “The simplicity yet sophistication. It’s bold but understated!” He waved the shirt around but she merely blinked at it. He pouted at her lack of enthusiasm.
“Bet Marinette would appreciate this” he grumbled, fingering the material.
“What was that?” Ladybug tilted her head, not having heard him. Chat’s ears twitched as he glanced back at her.
“…I was saying it’s a shame you don’t realise how awesome this shirt is!” he finally said, thrusting the shirt into her face.
“Like it that much?” she giggled, gently pushing it away. His jaw clenched with playful stubbornness.
“Do you know what this says, LB?” he crooked a brow.
“What does it say, Chat?” she indulged him.
“It says, ‘I am a Chat Noir fan 100%’” he whispered dramatically. He leaned back with a bright grin. “I wonder if I could just leave some money and take this?” he mumbled to himself.
Ladybug burst out laughing.
---
Later, Marinette was driving around, running some deliveries on her scooter when she passed by the stall she had visited earlier that day.
There was still a stack of those Chat Noir shirts, but now with a bored vendor tending to the stall.
She couldn’t help but giggle, remembering how delighted Chat had been.
Marinette pursed her lips as she walked up to the stall, looking at the shirt. There really was nothing special about the shirt. It was a plain black tee, the neon green paw print stamped on. No embellishments, nothing clever. As a burgeoning fashion designer, nothing about the material or graphic design seemed exciting to her.
But Chat Noir had loved it.
As a general rule, and also because it was really, really weird, Marinette didn’t buy Chat merch. Let alone her own. That would be even weirder. But here she hesitated.
“Excuse me, miss, but are you planning on buying anything?” the vendor finally piped up, having watched as the strange young girl seemingly zoned out in front of his stall.
“Oh!” a bright flush spread across her face. “Uh, um, yes uh, this please!” she hastily grabbed one of the shirts, not even bothering to check the size and handing it to the vendor to ring up.
She paid for the shirt, gave the vendor an embarrassed smile, before running off to finish her errands, the now bagged shirt clutched in her hands.
---
An hour later, she stood, holding the shirt in front of her. It was a little big but nothing too crazy.
“I mean, I suppose I should try it on” she shrugged, and changed into it. Marinette looked in her mirror.
There she was. The Ladybug, wearing a Chat Noir t-shirt.
“Yup. About as weird as I thought it would be” she announced to the empty room, strangely embarrassed. “But it’s pretty comfy.” She played with the hem of the shirt and shrugged. Guess these were her pyjamas for the night.
---
As time would go on, the Chat shirt would naturally become part of her loungewear rotation. Marinette no longer felt self-conscious, and would often happily don it to go to sleep. It was a really comfortable shirt.
So comfortable, in fact, that she would forget she was wearing it.
Which would come back to bite her in a very embarrassing way.
---
It had been a long day of fighting another one of Hawkmoth’s akumas, and Marinette decided that a quiet evening looking out at the beautiful city of Paris on her balcony, with a hot mug of cocoa was exactly what she needed.
“That smells good,” a voice suddenly spoke. She looked to her left and saw Chat Noir perched on the ledge of the balcony. She rolled her eyes and smiled.
She had gotten used to these abrupt late night visits from Chat. Since he didn’t know she was Ladybug, she could relax and not worry about fending off his flirting.
“Hot cocoa. Want some?” she offered, preparing to push away from where she had been leaning. He shook his head and instead shifted from his crouch to sit properly on the ledge, legs dangling over the edge.
They both gazed out at the twinkling lights of the city.
“Tired from a long day saving the world?” she sipped at her drink. He shrugged, smiling down at her.
“A little, yeah” he admitted, and she looked up at him. He wasn’t usually so forthcoming.
“The job getting you down?” she asked, hesitantly.
One good thing about being Marinette and Chat Noir, was she could ask him things she wasn’t brave enough to ask as Ladybug. It was something that had long since been on her mind. Her role as a hero. His role as her partner. Living this double life. All the responsibilities they both were facing. She wondered if he felt the same way.
“Well, you know. The constant fighting gets to you after a while,” his eyes glowed in the black night, as he stared into the distance. She did know.
“Well at least you have Ladybug at your side,” she offered, but all she received was a sad smile.
“Ladybug is great. She’s strong and steadfast and never seems to let anything get to her.” He went quiet for a moment. “It can be pretty intimidating, actually.”
Marinette’s eyes widened in surprise. “You’re…intimidated by Ladybug?” the shock in her voice made him turn, and he shook his head vehemently.
“No! No, that’s not what I meant,” he raised his hands defensively. “Don’t get me wrong. I love this part about her. Her duty to the city and her role, and how fearless she is in the face of insurmountable odds! But… it kinda leaves very little room for me. Like even if I weren’t there, she’d still do just fine.”
He almost whispered that final part, and Marinette’s heart squeezed tight. She had never realised he felt this way. In her eyes, Chat Noir was unshakeable, undeterred, grinning through all the trials they faced as heroes. She looked to him as a shoulder to lean on and a support she could rely on. He was the best partner she could ever hope for. And yet she had made him feel like she didn’t need him.
She reached one hand over and laid it over Chat’s clenched fist. He looked at her and she glared at hi.
“You know that’s not true. Ladybug needs Chat Noir just as much as Chat Noir needs Ladybug.” She squeezed his hand. “I know it. You know it. And the whole of Paris knows it.”
Chat studied her gaze as she studied his, before they both smiled.
“You think so?” he finally asked.
“I do. And I know Ladybug would think the same.” She gave him a pointed look. “You should tell her how you feel.”
For some reason, Chat’s ears turned red, but he coughed and looked away.
“Yeah, maybe I should.” She nodded, and finally leaned back.
“Sure you don’t want some cocoa?” she asked.
He pondered for a second, before turning around. “Yeah, why not? I have time for- HEY!”
“What?!” she looked around, worried some hidden enemy had ambushed them on her balcony. It was still quiet, empty night and she looked back at him. He was looking at her clothes.
“My shirt!”
Marinette glanced down at herself, horror dawning on her.
“Oh no” she wheeled around, looking for something to cover the green pawprint, but there was no such object. She settled for instead covering her face with her hands, avoiding Chat Noir’s ear-to-ear grin.
“You bought a Chat Noir shirt!” he chimed, his voice bubbling with excitement.
“No, I didn’t!” she denied, trying to shuffle towards the door leading back into her home.
“Don’t deny it! I saw this shirt the other day with Ladybug!” he slid in front of her, blocking her escape.
“It’s not the same shirt. Not related to you at all” She tried to slip past him but the wasn’t letting her past.
“Don’t lie! Who else could be represented by a green paw print?” he demanded, planting his fists on his hips.
Marinette scrambled for an excuse.
“It’s this, uh, great indie band I know, Neon Leopards. Big fan. Yup.” Chat burst out laughing and allowed Marinette to push him inside as she re-entered her home. She stopped him before he could follow her in.
“Didn’t realise you were a Chat Noir fan, Marinette” he leaned in close to her bright red face but she locked her brows stubbornly.
“I’m a Neon Leopards fan,” she huffed. “Also, I just realised I drank the last of the hot cocoa. So I’m afraid you’ll have to leave now!”
Chat Noir didn’t even try to stop her, too busy snickering.
She slammed the door shut on his laughing face.
---
Over the subsequent months and years, the Chat shirt would becoming an ongoing joke between Chat and Marinette. When Chat Noir mentioned Marinette owning his merchandise to Ladybug, it took everything for her not to burst into flames from embarrassment and react with cool indifference.
But it would soon make way for an even bigger reveal.
“Wait, Marinette. You’re Ladybug?!”
“You’re Chat Noir, Adrien?!”
The Chat shirt would not be a topic that would come up for a good while after this, as Marinette and Adrien adjusted not only to the news that they were Chat and Ladybug respectively, but also the newfound romantic relationship they had entered into soon after the reveal.
Until one day, when Chat appeared on her balcony.
---
“Claws in!” and suddenly, Adrien Agreste was on her balcony.
Marinette poked her head out onto the balcony and huffed, coming to stand in the doorway with her hands on her hips.
“Hey Marinette!” he greeted her, before freezing midstride.
“Adrien, you know you can use the front door!” she complained, before noticing the creeping smile on his face.
She felt a tingling sensation on her neck and weird sense of déjà vu as he stared at her clothes. She glanced down and sighed.
“Neon Leopards, huh?” he smirked, walking over and wrapping her in his arms.
“This is why you don’t catch a lady off guard” she grumbled, leaning her red face into his chest.
“I should’ve known you were Ladybug when I saw you wearing this shirt. The fashion-forward design genius Marinette would never have bought this kind of top otherwise” he chuckled, pulling back enough to look at his cute lady’s face.
She rolled her eyes, lazily draping her arms around his neck.
“I guess I couldn’t help myself.” She sighed, smiling playfully. “I mean, it’s simple, yet sophisticated.” She teased. He nodded seriously.
“Truly bold yet understated” he declared, tucking a stray hair behind her ear.
“I mean, do you know what this says?” she leaned in, whispering dramatically. He followed her lead.
“What does it say?” he whispered back.
“It says, ‘I’m a Chat Noir fan, 100%’” she grinned, and he couldn’t resist. He leaned in and pecked her lightly on the lips. A light pink tinged her cheeks and across her nose.
“Clearly you wouldn’t survive without me,” he sighed, winking at her. She jabbed him in the ribs. He jerked before retaliating by tickling her. She giggled and swatted his hands away.
“There is no Ladybug without Chat Noir, after all,” she announced.
“And no Adrien without Marinette” he murmured. She blushed again, and how could Adrien resist that. He leaned back in once more.

Chapter 26
Chapter 26
A bit of a warning, a few characters who will have a bit of a bigger place in the plot down the road will appear in this chapter, and also spoiler and trigger warning, before the hearing we will meet a racist cop, soon to be ex-cop who will be not as important.
All in all, enjoy the show.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
As Alya moved through the school she saw people talking about her interview with Chloe and Sabrina as the New Bee and smiled. Already the talks she could hear were more pro-Chloe than she thought they would be, and that was good. After having a sit down with her and talking about a lot of things, Alya had to admit that Chloe was trying to be better and this might work, especially if what they wanted to happen.
Alya had been looking into homeschool options for a day, and the ones offered by the education department were good. With Hawkmoth’s campaign, they were offered to a lot of students if their families felt it would be better for them. Funny, the students at François Duport never got them, something that Alya was going to talk to the investigators about.
As she and Chloe headed into the main courtyard she saw the others all looking around with worry. “Didn’t find her?”
“No, where is she?” Chloe said with a scowl. “It’s just like that witch to do something like this!”
“You know, looking back you’re right. And I can’t believe I didn’t see it before,” Nino said as he pulled his hat as the others all nodded.
Nino and Kim shared a look, the two of them were childhood friends with Mari, they couldn’t believe that they had let that snake slither through the school biting at her for so long without seeing it! Kim knew he couldn’t see things people did sometime, but he should have seen this!
Chloe looked at them and grinned, happy that they agreed with her. Lila had been a slippery little witch, and she was so happy people were finally wising up to it! Now all they had to do was find Lila, set her down in front of the investigators and then, well then she knew a nice reform school on an island in the north sea that wasn’t coed.
A few moments later a cough was heard from behind them. They all turned and saw a slender and fairly tall French boy with rock-style black hair, tan skin, vivid green eyes under thick eyebrows and visible lashes, natural pink lips on a slender face and his chin was pointy. He was wearing a V-neck rainbow tie-dye shirt which displays the colors in a ripple pattern originating from the center under an open bright red jacket, moderate azure jeans with the bottoms rolled up and several horizontal rips around his knees, and black boots with rainbow oil slick blotches.
“Yeah Marc, you looking for Nath?” Kim asked and Marc shook his head.
Marc looked away for a few moments as he wondered if he should get involved. Do I owe him any loyalty at all? He’s the stereotype of every bad teacher in the movies plus ‘jocks over all’, and there’s what happened to Mari. He thought and nodded, having come to a decision. He took stock of himself and he scowled as looked back at the group.
“If you’re looking for Lila, d'Argencourt let her out the door by the gym,” Marc said with a hard look in his eyes.
“He did what?!” Chloe snarled out as she looked at him with a glare as the others behind her watched in shock. I just thought the owl and the appeaser were the only slime in this school, but him!? He’s a bastard, but letting her go after hearing what happened!? I thought he had more principals than that! She thought with a glare. “Show us.”
Marc said nothing and brought out the recorder she had been using and sent the file to Chloe’s student account. As the others listened to it their respect for their gym teacher was destroyed completely, Chloe glared even harder and she started to growl in anger. It was when she heard Marc gasp that she looked up and saw him pale in fear as he backed away from her. she looked away and cursed her old actions.
“Not mad at you writer, I expected some of the teachers would be better,” Chloe said and Marc went still before he nodded.
Above Rebecca walked out of a meeting room and closed the door, sighing as soon as the door was closed. So far this school was even worse than she thought it would be, even with the history of this place! The problem in the lunchroom alone, the way some of the teachers didn’t seem to match what their files said they were plus how the students described their classes…… she knew this would be a problem but this, this was beyond anything she expected! The sound of talking caused her to look down and see kids gathering below and frowned. She had specifically said where they could gather, what were they doing out there?
She scowled as she walked down the stairs and cleared her throat to get them to look at her. “Excuses me, can you all tell me why you’re all out here?”
Chloe looked up as Rebecca came closer to them, she didn’t know how to react to the question, having no idea how it would be taken. The Education Department wasn’t something that she knew a lot about, how it was under the President and not her father, they spent most of their time away from the city and dealt with problems all over the country and they never bothered with Politics at all, so Chloe didn’t have any idea how she would react. But before she could come to a decision Alya jumped the gun, causing Chloe and Sabrina to facepalm.
“Lila’s gone!” Alya spat out and Rebecca blinked and then went still as she remembered who Lila was and how she was connected to this.
“She left a few minutes ago, and I’ve got proof of who helped her,” Marc spoke up and Rebecca looked at him and frowned.
“How do you have proof?” Rebecca asked as she tried to figure out how this all happened. If the only student of the two at the core of the issue that brought her here ran away, that
“I’m a writer mam, and I always record myself while I walk, better than writing on my phone……. Anyway I was going to the gym to maybe make a video for help writing sports scenes when, well I came across them,” Marc said and Rebecca looked at them all with a raised eyebrow.
“I see,” Rebecca said as she turned around and looked up at Damocles as he stood at the top of the stairs. So far Rebecca was convinced he was hiding something, and she wouldn’t like whatever it was when she found out. Now this happened, and the picture is slowly becoming even worse! If a student helped Lila get away, then it makes it seem that someone else was involved in this situation, and that meant it wasn’t a simple frame job. She felt that she could call it a trick to frame Marinette, everything was probably going to be a lot harder. “So another student is involved in this?”
The students looked at each other as Rebecca turned around and took a step up the stairs, she would have kept going but Marc spoke up.
“It wasn’t a student ma’am,” Marc said and Rebecca turned towards him and he cowed a little.
Chloe had a moment when she thought that she should step back when she saw the look in Rebecca’s eyes.
“What did you say?” Rebecca asked with a dangerous tone and Marc swallowed and removed a small recorder with a camera that he handed over to her.
“Download from the USB port, has a few Gigs of memory,” Marc said and Max nodded.
“Some of my best work, good microphone too,” Max said and Rebecca looked at it and frowned.
“Really….” She muttered before she pulled out her phone, a wire that she plugged into her phone, and then she pulled out two headphones. Playing the most recent file she found, she watched. Nice picture at least, good sound……. If this is from that far away, then up close might be even better. She thought before she looked up at Max. “You’re name and Class young man?”
“Max Kante, Miss Bustier’s class mam,” Max said and Rebecca winced.
“Of course,” She muttered as she held her forehead. So far the other students from that class had told her things that raised so many red flags that she was surprised that they could function normally! So far she had to wonder how that woman had passed as a teacher in the first place! The other teachers were good, but they were mostly overworked and had blind spots and she wondered if their training was up to date.
All in all, it seemed that no matter what happened they would need to close the school for a while, at least the home school programs could handle them. She might need to release a few laptops or something, but she knew she could find a way around all the problems to help these kids. And then there was the worst duty she had, talk to the person who was ‘expelled’ and tell them the truth about the paperwork. This is gonna be painful. And to think, this might have gone unnoticed if I didn’t come here. After all, she could have been expelled………. Rebecca’s thoughts stopped and she went still as a dark thought appeared in her mind and she knew she had to look into a few files, she had a bad feeling about this.
“Okay, all you kids go back to wherever you’re all next on the list to interview. After that, once everything is done, you all stay home until we contact you all, as of the end of the day, this school will be closed for a while,” Rebecca said bitterly as she turned and walked towards the office, trying not to let what she had thought of bother her.
Chloe looked around at the other's faces and tried to keep calm. The fact that another teacher, one that once ran for office against her father was slime was bad, the fact that he was Adrien’s teacher was even worse! She just knew when she told the others about this, Adrien was going to take it hard, and Marinette was going to take it just as badly.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Marinette smiled and looked towards the door, smiling as she looked at the sky through the glass. The lunch rush was over and her parents were enjoying a break and late meal, and for a moment she saw the good homeschooling might let do for everyone and sighed. The last few days were the most chaotic she had ever experienced since Tikki had come into her life. But she was stronger, with the team knowing each other’s identities, the school and Lila being dealt with, and the family looking into homeschooling for her, she felt that she was in a better position than she was before. With her team knowing how Lila was and the hearing soon, she had a good feeling that the Lila problem would soon come to a close.
The bell dinged and she turned and smiled, expecting a customer but saw Louise walk into the building looking concerned.
“Louise, what is it?”
Louise looked up and smiled shakily. “Hey kid, your parents here? As in here downstairs?”
“No, Dad and mom are having lunch upstairs and playing a game with our guest for an hour while I watch the store…… what’s happening?” Marinette asked and he swallowed.
“Well the board of education reached back, they sent a team to investigate the school………their agent is gonna come over here soon,” Louise said and Marinette went still. On the surface that was something that could be good, but then she thought of Adrien hiding out here until his hearing……… if this person found him, then he might be taken back to his father, even if the restraining order was held up or with their luck, the person ignored it!
“Go now, tell him to hide in my room!” Marinette said as she noticed a woman walking towards the store. Louise must have seen something in her eyes because he dashed past her and she heard him head upstairs moments before the woman walked in and smile at her. Marinette smiled as she heard someone come down the stairs and her father came to stand next to her.
“Can we help you?” Tom asked and the woman nodded.
“No actually, I can help you. My name is Rebecca, I work for the education department……. Now I have a few things to tell you, first your daughter hasn’t been expelled yet,” Rebecca said causing Marinette and Tom to blink in shock.
“I’m Sorry, what!?” Tom demanded and Rebecca nodded as Louise appeared from the door to the apartment with Sabine behind him.
“Yes, he never filled out the paperwork, I expect that if I hadn’t come then he might have made it out that he expelled you for being absent too much Miss Marinette,” Rebecca said and Marinette went still as her parent’s mouths dropped open before Tom started to growl as Sabine clenched her fists.
“How dare he! Who the hell does he think he is!?” Sabine demanded and Rebecca sighed and shook her head.
“I don’t know, frankly that school was supposed to have been a lot better, I mean really!” Rebecca said as she looked at them before turning to stare a Louise as she brought out her phone. “During the investigation, I came across some data that will affect the case, I turn it over to you here and now because I have to.”
“What data?” Louise asked and Rebecca sighed and pulled out her phone and after a moment Louise gave her an email address and she nodded and sent it over.
As the Dunpain-Chengs, all listened to the file, Marinette’s parents glared at Rebecca who raised her hands.
“Now I’m just the messenger, please understand. Finally, the hearing for this terrible situation will be on Wednesday,” She said as she bowed and left the building before they could say anything.
Sabine looked around and scowled, her good mood from watching Tom and Adrien play the game was gone, she was almost tempted to curse before she sighed and took a deep breath.
“Well, this changes a few things. Let me think and I’ll get back to you tomorrow and go over our strategy and what I expect the hearing will be, good luck and stay safe,” Louise said as he left through the door. However, a moment after he left Alya appeared with a scowl that told Marinette that she had bad news to share.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Two days later, Marinette and her parents walked towards the courthouse, her nerves shot. Hawkmoth had been silent the last few days, no Akumas at all. Lila had gone home early from school the other day, escaping the investigators and her classmates, part of Marinette wondered if she had left the country. But then she half expected Lila to come and with a sob story turn the entire case around and have Marinette punished for wasting the court’s time. And with everything else that happened she still didn’t know what they would do.
But then she thought about what Rebecca had told them about what Damocles did or didn’t do, and she knew that the record had to be set straight. And then when Alya told them how Lila had gotten away and how d'Argencourt had helped Lila and insulted Marinette, it had taken a lot of talking on Marinette’s part to keep her parents from finding d'Argencourt and shaking him on her father’s part before her mother introduced her to her staff. That night, she and Adrien had talked, both of them and their kwami’s were worried that Damocles had done something like this before.
“Don’t worry Marinette, this will be easy,” Sabine said softly and Marinette grinned at her.
“Yes mama,” Marinette said and she hoped that this would go well, but her thoughts were on what the holder of the Dolphin Miraculous had told them. Master Fu had gone through the Grimoire page by page, nothing at all about Atlantis or the Mage, and Fu was hurt. He said he almost made himself believe that whoever had brought the Miraculous from Atlantis to the Order had cast the spells for a reason and forgotten about them over the years, a secret carried to the grave by accident or death in battle, but the book had been recreated half a year after he had been conscripted, for it to not have the truth, that was painful for him to admit that the Order didn’t deserve his loyalty.
Max meanwhile had made a program to look up oriental myths and another to look up lore about flowers and gemstones, trying to find anything that might give them a clue to the ingredients they needed and Markov was searching as well, so she hoped they could find what they needed soon.
“Don’t worry Marinette, the case is open and shut, we’ll win,” Tom said and Marinette nodded as she caught a flash of black on the rooftop. They had thought that Lila or Damocles would be a great seed for Hawmoth, so above them Chat Noir, Carapace and Roi Singe were ready to come in to fight while Viperion was ready to Second Chance to make sure every civilian got out okay.
“THERE YOU ARE!” A voice bellowed and they turned to see a bald man in a black suit walking towards them with a scowl on his face and had been arguing with Louise the lawyer. “I don’t know how one of your kind thinks, but how dare you try and get out of your just punishment! When I’m done, you won’t even be able to get into a school in any of Europe!”
“Louise, who is this……. person?” Sabine asked as Louise made it to them.
“All I know is this person came up to me and started to yell at me. He has yet to give a name at all,” Louise said with a glare and the man puffed up and glared right back.
“All you filth need to know is that I am empowered by the education board to handle cases like you!” The man said and Tom started to get angry himself. Marinette saw movement above and shook her head, hoping that her team wouldn’t move and that Weredad wouldn’t make another appearance.
“No, I don’t think that’s right at all,” A voice caused him to turn around and took a step back toward Tom. Marinette saw that his whole body was paling in what she thought was fear. Following his gaze, she saw Rebecca walking toward them with a smile on her face that hardened as she looked at the man.
“Hello, I didn’t fully introduce myself when I met you all before. I’m Rebecca Clynefluss, the head of the Education Department for all of France. When I heard of this travesty I had to come and see it personally, and then I heard what this man said just now,” Alice said and the man paled as the family looked at Rebecca in shock.
As they all watched the man swallowed and looked at Alice who grinned back and Tom thought he saw the man begin to sweat and lose color on his face.
“You didn’t have to mam I was….” He said and Rebecca smirked at him and interrupted him.
“I find it amazing that you’re here and made those threats just now, as I am the only person who has that authority in ALL of France,” Rebecca said softly and the man paled as she looked at him. He gulped back up until he walked into Tom who glared down at him and he swallowed nervously.
“I can explain!” He said and Rebecca smiled evilly and he paled more as she shook her head.
“No, you won’t,” Rebecca said as two men in black uniforms appeared behind her and grabbed the man’s arms. Rebecca smiled at him as one of the two men hit the back of his head and knocked him out.
Tom took a step backward in shock before he took another step forward, even if the man was a bastard he wouldn’t let the man be kidnapped in front of him. Rebecca held up her hands to placate Tom as the man was picked up.
“Easy. That was an Anti Hawkmoth protocol that the Union allowed that after the last contract/wage negotiation,” Rebecca said and looked back at the man. “Good luck in there, and if something happens that was affected by what just happened to you, we’ll be in contact.”
As they watched her turn and follow the two men and their prisoner to a car, the family looked at each other in confusion.
A cough behind them caused them to see Nadja standing there with a smile. “Well, that was interesting, maybe a good story too.”
“What are you doing here Nadja??” Sabine asked and Nadja grinned.
“After I learned what happened, I decided to look into the school, I’m just here to take a few notes. When I show my story, I will keep Marinette’s name out of it I promise,” Nadja said and the family looked at each other before Marinette nodded.
Moments later all of them walked into the courtroom and saw Mr. Damocles and Miss Bustier sitting at one of the two tables in front and Ivan, Mylene, Nathaniel and Nino sitting all over with Aurore and Millie sitting with Miss Mendeleiev, Rose and Juleka sitting together near the left exit. A cough caused Marinette to turn around and see Nora in her street clothes with Alya standing against the right wall. Alya waved and gestured with her chin at her phone that was recording everything. Nadja grinned and walked over, getting into a short conversation that ended with Alya and Nadja shaking hands, evil grins on their faces.
At the other end of the room was a high table with a woman with blue eyes, red hair in a bun in a green blouse, and black pants, who banged a gavel, the sounds caused everyone to look at her.
“It is now noon, and I am Lenore Zarklis, assigned head of this hearing; sent by the Education Department of Paris. My friend to my right is Judge Daniel Rortarn of the greater France Justice Department and the final member of our panel is Doctor Leonard Carlson of one of the local hospitals,” Lenore said as she gestured first to the right and then to the left. Daniel Rortam was a judge who had severed Paris for over thirty years, his tan skin, bald head, and black eyes behind glasses held a trace of wisdom in them, while his white shirt and blue pants gave off an air of peace. On Lenore’s other side Leonard Carlson was a young man with black eyes, pale skin, blond hair dressed in black slacks and pants, a look of disdain on his face as he looked at Damocles.
“Now this is the hearing that is required by law to happen in cases where the principal or a teacher feels a student has done something to warrant expulsion, as according to the law I am one of a trio of judges who will hear the issue, the evidence and then render judgment. And for everyone here I am talking this way so the automatic record that will hear everything, it’s one of the procedurals that’s being tried out after a lawsuit against a ruling on a case last year, so let us start with the bare bones so to speak,” Lenore said and Daniel snorted.
“Let’s get this over with, I’ve got plans later,” Daniel said and Lenore glared at him.
“Yes well, may the principal please speak the name of the school and the charges,” Lenore said and Damocles stood up.
“Of course Madame, I am Damocles, principal of Francoise-Dupont College. The incident that resulted in the expulsion of the student in question; One Marinette Dunpain-Cheng cheated on a test, pushed a student down the stairs and had stolen from said student,” Principal Damocles said and Marionette heard her father growl at this. Damocles looked at them with a cold expression, but the look in his eyes caused Marinette to gasp, as she realized he had been behind that man outside. “And I offer the other parties the chance to end this as it is, no need to drag it out.”
Louise smiled at them and stood up next a savage grin on his face. “Your honor I am the lawyer for the Dunpain-Cheng family. I will prove by the evidence and testimony that such actions were not only illegal but immoral as well. And we are not backing down!”
Damocles looked at them and blanched before he looked at the door as if he was expecting someone to come in and stop all this, an action that didn’t escape the three people at the high bench.
“So let’s begin with the paperwork, more specifically the school’s version of events,” Judge Daniel said as the judges each opened the folder before them and started to read them, Leonard felt a frown growing on his face as he did so as he read the papers.
After a few moments, each of the judges looked at each other and moved to talk to each other, each of them covering their microphones as before Leonard sighed and nodded
“This makes no sense at all, did this happen as it’s written?” Leonard asked and Damocles looked a little confused.
“Yes, that is what happened, at least after I left my office,” Damocles said and the judges all face palmed in unions ion and Marinette fealty a
“This is a travesty! If a lawyer had brought this to my court it would have been thrown out!” Daniels spat as Damocles looked shocked.
Marinette looked and saw with some surprise that Caline Bustier wasn’t reacting at all. And that worried her, she had been expecting that Lila or Caline to make a show about being a better person but the silence, and that bothered her more than she wanted to admit.
Sabine meanwhile looked at the two people who failed her daughter and barely kept from going over to them and tearing them apart with her bare hands.
“Gotta agree with the lawman here, this doesn’t make sense. Let’s start picking apart from the test…… Miss Bustier if you had the answer sheet stolen before the test, why on earth didn’t you change it?” Leonard said as he looked at Bustier who looked away as she realized something and palled in shock.
Daniel and Leonard looked at each other as Lenore stared at Bustier, something about the woman was bothering her but she couldn’t figure out what it was.
Leonard looked at the other board members and sighed. “Madame, answer the question please.”
“The answer sheet was stolen after the test Sir,” Miss Bustier said as she turned her head back to the front and then winced at the incredulous looks she was getting. Next to her Damocles jerked slightly and paled in fear, he was starting to think that this was going to be bad.
Behind her Marinette could hear Alya start to snicker when they had all realized when the answer sheet had to be taken after the test, it was all Marinette could do to keep Alya and Adrien from going to kill Bustier, saying that this was better.
Aurore meanwhile was starting to grin evilly, next to her Mirelle giggled. The two of them were here to see the Owl become an endangered species.
“I’m sorry, the sheet was stolen after the test?! That doesn’t make any sense at all if anyone wanted to cheat!” Daniel spat out and glared at Caline Bustier who looked back with a blank look on her face.
Leonard looked at the woman’s face and tried to figure out where he had seen her before, there was something about her that he couldn’t place.
“More how cheating was even possible at all. I…… let’s table that for now,” Leonard said and took a deep breath and looked at the others.
Daniel looked like he was going to argue, but he took a deep breath and nodded, Lenore only huffed and looked away.
“The next thing that’s bothering me, why didn’t anyone go with them?” Lenore demanded and Caline looked at her and took a deep breath.
“I trusted them to walk on their own,” Bustier said and even Damocles looked at her in shock. As she looked around a confused look was on her face.
“Both of them accused the other, or as you saw it, one thought the other was framing her, what did you expect nothing to happen?” Daniel asked with a scowl and Bustier looked at him and frowned.
“I trusted Marinette to be a good example to Lila, not cause any trouble at all, I didn’t expect anything like this to happen,” Bustier said and she was obvious to how the people behind her reacted, but the judges saw it all.
From how Ms. Mendeleiev was face palming to Aurore and Mireille scowl while next to her Marinette swallowed as she saw her parents look at her with a ‘you will explain this to us later’ look on their faces. Lenore, Daniel, and Leonard only stared at Bustier as they tried to understand her reasoning and failed.
“I know that she was a bad role model in this situation, but Marinette has such potential…….” Ms. Bustier tried to continue but Daniel held up a hand.
“You shut up now, every word you say makes me want to hurt you,” Daniel said and Bustier looked shocked that he said such things.
A commotion at the doors behind them caused them all to turn and see Lila being dragged into the room by her mother, an apologetic look on her face.
“Apologies, I was told it was an hour later, I was just lucky enough you sent one to my work address and my home,” Dolores Rossi said as Lila tried to hide behind her.
As the three judges looked on they smiled and grinned at each other.
“Well, good, you were right on time. Now the record says that you said that Marinette pushed you down the stairs in the courtyard, stole a necklace, and then hide it in her locker,” Leonard said and Lila nodded as Dolores looked at her.
“It hurt so much! I could barely stand but I…….” Lila began only for Daniels to interrupt her.
“Show me proof then,” He interrupted Lila and she went still as she looked at him. “Show me proof that Miss Marinette stole your necklace and pushed you down the stairs show me proof that you were even injured, and no your word doesn’t count.”
“It was found in her locker!” Lila said and Dolores looked up with a scowl only for Leonard to snort.
“Except the lockers at the school don’t have locks,” His blunt answer caused Lila to stare at him and her mother to jolt and opened and closed her mouth.
“They don’t have locks?! WHY!” Dolores demanded and Damocles looked a little embarrassed and looked away. “What about the cameras then!”
“I’m sorry mam, but the cameras weren’t checked and we have no paperwork because your daughter didn’t go to the hospital or even to the nurse,” Lenore told Dolores gently, only for her to stare in total confusion.
“What? My daughter fell down the stairs and they didn’t send her to the nurse!?” Dolores demanded and inside she was shocked beyond words, she had been around for a long time and this, this was shocking her to the point she was almost sure this was a dream. She knew the school had issues, but maybe she should look into changing schools before she had her new coat.
“And again mam, this is happening because the person who your daughter blamed said she didn’t push Lila and didn’t steal a necklace that she, your daughter, said was a family heirloom and the girl in question was expelled without a hearing before this or being able to defend herself at all,” Louise said and looked at Dolores who’s mouth dropped open in shock.
“That’s illegal!” Dolores said and then jerked and looked at him. “And what heirloom!?”
“And hence why we are here today, and why I’m particularly mad, especially since the last time this happened, well I don’t need to tell you about that sir!” Louise spat out and Damocles looked at him and did a double take as he realized who Louise was and paled in fear.
“What…..what do you mean the last time?” Caline asked as she looked at her boss and Louise looked away with a glare on his face.
“It’s a little something that the school it seems took great pains to hide but years ago a liar almost pushed a teen to suicide with just their words, turning most of the school against them. Since that happened this school now needs more than one person’s word to do anything about anything and always check the cameras first,” Lenore said before looking at Damocles with a glare in her eyes that made him shiver in fright. “Something that you should know sir! As you were the vice principal back then! And this entire episode has become nothing more than he said she did, with no paperwork to back it up!”
Damocles swallowed and looked down, pale and shaking as Miss. Bustier looked at him in total shock. The other students were all looking at him with disgust and part of Marinette was just as happy to have this happened if only to bring this to light.
“Your honor, about the video, I was able to grab a copy from the school’s servers before they were delegated, defense exhibit A,” Louise said and took out a folder from his briefcase and took it to the judge's table. As they read it he stepped back and smiled at Damocles. “And as you can see from the paperwork this is verified by the police’s data experts, and here it is now.”
The door to the street opened and Officer Rodger walked into the room, holding a briefcase with a key around his neck. Setting it down on the table before the judges, he opened it and revealed a disc as two officers rolled a TV and DVD player into the room.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
In his lair, Gabriel smiled as he, Nathalie, and the Kwami all gathered around a TV on the wall showing the courtroom. Gabriel felt a little giddy, he was wondering who would be his target today besides Lila. The plan they had was solid, and soon they would have more options open.
Nathalie looked at the screen and tried to think about what to do to bond with ‘Lila’, the backstory they had crafted had been perfect, and another of her Champion forms had gotten the records they needed into the computers and a fire at the location where the ‘original’ hard copies had gone up in flames thanks after
“What do you think, Lila or her mother?” Gabriel asked and Nathalie looked at him.
“We are betting about this? This is so wrong and immoral!” Nathalie said and then she smirked a little. “And it will be the teacher or the principal.”
“You know, this time why don’t you give him Sentimonsters like the pirate lady?” Duusu asked and Gabriel blinked and grinned, that might cause enough chaos that they could counter the heroes numbers! All they had to do was have Lila follow after Ladybug when she went to get them and they could track down the Guardian and find out their game!
Nathalie looked at Duusu as Nooroo could only look on blank-faced, not reacting at all.
“You’re more helpful than the other one,” Nathalie said and Duusu looked at her with a hard stare.
“He’s still bound by the Order’s Spells, I’m not,” Duusu said bluntly. A chuckle from Gabriel caused Nathalie to smile. As they saw the video reach its end Gabriel smiled and looked at the others around him. He had never expected to have come this far, or to have gathered such a group around him.
“It’s time my dear, let us………get dressed in our costumes,” Gabriel said only for Duusu to fly in front of his face.
“BOOO! Weak, very weak. Better have your ending phase better!” Duusu said and Gabriel laughed as Nathalie giggled.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Back in the courtroom, everyone looked at the TV as it showed Lila sitting at the bottom of the staircase, Louise couldn’t believe that Lila’s plan had actually worked. Dolores stared aghast, shocked and horrified that she would inherit such bad karma, that she might have to act so stupidly. Sabine was gripping her chair’s seat to keep from attacking Lila herself.
“Wait a second……. If I remember right, doesn’t your class have a great view of the stairs Ms. Mendeleiev?” Lenore asked with a strange look on his face
“Yes, but I had taken my class on a trip to the local zoo that day,” Miss. Mendeleiev admitted and the judges nodded. “But really, when I heard about what happened……… I have no excuse for not pushing harder against this your honor, I accept any punishments you feel I deserve.”
“Miss Mendeleiev, from what we have learned you weren’t even in the building when this farce went down. It’s not your fault if they didn’t listen to you,” Daniel said kindly and Mendeleiev smiled at him.
“Tell my heart that,” Miss Mend said and sighed, shaking her head.
“Impossible to tell the heart anything it doesn’t want to acknowledge. But that is why you are a truly good teacher mam,” Lenore said and
Damocles looked at the TV, pale as he tried to figure out how to fix this.
“In light of something that I should have seen……. I suppose that the events didn’t happen as I thought……..” Damocles trailed off as Lenore looked down at him. “What?”
“Exhibit 2,” Louise said with a savage grin.
“This is Aurore Boreale, activating a recording app on my phone before myself and Mireille Caquet to go to our Principal, Mr. Damocles, to talk about what happened when he ‘expelled’ Marinette. I hope that this won’t be needed, but better safe than sorry,” Aurore’s voice came from the speakers as Mr. Damocles suddenly went white.
The sound of a door opening came from the recording and then Mr. Damocles’s voice came on.
“Can I help you?” Damocles’s voice asked.
Miss Bustier looked at Damocles next to her and saw him pale, she hoped whatever this was didn’t hurt the children too much.
“Sir, we heard about what happened with Marinette and we were wondering when her hearing would be,” Aurore’s voice came over and Marinette looked at her as she preened.
“There will no hearing, she is expelled with no way to come back ever!” Damocles voice said and Tom growled under his breath and
“Sir that’s illegal!” Aruore said and the sound of a chair scraping against a floor was heard.
“This is my school and what I say goes!” Mr. Damocles voice thundered from the speaker.
“Sir, that doesn’t matter, they are rules about this! You aren’t allowed to do that without a hearing!” Aurore’s voice came out as Marinette looked at Aurore who winked at her with a grin.
“OUT NOW! Any more and I’ll suspend you for talking against the authority of the principal!” Mr. Damocles voice thundered.
Marinette looked around until she saw Aurore looking at her and smiled. Marinette nodded and promised herself to give Aurore a nice gift for this, this might win the case.
“Wow, there is so much in this recording to talk about, I don’t know where to even start!” Daniels said with an evil smile on his face as Damocles sank into his chair.
“I know that I should have handled this better, but I saw a……… an escalation of events. I acted to protect my school,” Damocles said bleakly and Alya looked at him as Nora nodded, having seen what made him decide to do that, but logic wasn’t always the right call.
“That’s enough from you,” Lenore said bluntly and looked at them before scowling and standing up. She picked up two folders and walked towards a small step on the left side before the judge’s table.
“This hearing finds that the actions against Marinette Dunpang-Chang were unlawful. The expulsion will be stricken from her records,” Lenore said as she put one of the folders down on the table before the defense and the other before the Damocles and Miss Bustier. As he opened the folder and read what was within, Damocles paled as Miss Bustier smiled.
“Well, that was a terrible situation that I’m glad is done, I suppose I’ll see Marinette back in class by Friday then?” Ms. Bustier said with a smile on her face, blind to the reactions of the entire room around
“No, she won’t. And nothing it done!” Lenore interrupted her as she walked back and one more sat behind the judge’s table before joining the others in glaring at the two behind the prosecutor’s table. “Caline Bustier, everything that was found has caused the school board to have….. doubts about your future as a teacher. You will be suspended until a decision is made! But I would expect to have a hard time proving you should remain a teacher Madam! And finally, due to a contract signed when he became the principal, Mr. Damocles alone is responsible so if you want to sue the school you can only sue him.”
As Damocles paled in horror, if they investigated then they would find everything! he had thankfully gotten all his treasures out of the school, all he had to do now was use his escape plan, and then after he shaved his facial hair and washed out the die, he could relax. He had everything ready, all he needed to do was get through the day and not be held, but he did feel a little bad that his cushy extra retirement was canceled. He had to get away before he lost everything he had worked for!
Miss Bustier blinked, wondering why Marinette would even think of doing that as it wouldn’t make a Good Example for others. She would have to talk to the girl and show her the right way to go, she did need guidance after all. But she couldn’t understand what they meant, her teaching records were perfect, and she always had a Good Example Student for the others in her class to learn from and follow once they understood what was right! They sometimes needed to be shown the way, but before they left her loving care, they understood just how to inspire others! She couldn’t think of anything that could have caused this to happen!
As Marinette grinned Tom and Sarah smirked as Louise grinned evilly. The people watching were all smiles and some even cheered, but Lila fumed as she looked at Marinette with a glare that could cull milk.
Marinette looked around then palled as she saw something, an Akuma had just flown through the open door. As others saw it the Judges looked up and paled as the Akuma hit the papers masks formed on the faces of Caline and Damocles.
“Oh god, a double attack!” Marinette said shakily as she got up and everyone started to scream and run towards the doors.
“Lila follow me!” Dolores ordered and Lila’s eyes went wide before running after her mother, r9ight past Alya who got a perfect screenshot of her face before Nora pulled her behind her and out the door.
Sabine grabbed her daughter and pulled her towards the right side door, Tom following behind them as the Judges all reacted and most of them started to back away as Daniel grinned. Mirelle went weak and almost fell before Aurore grabbed her and pulled her as Ms. Mendeleiev glared at Damocles and Bustier, she kept still until all the students left before she flowed them and closed the door as Louise made it through. Looking around she saw Lila and her mother had kept moving, running towards an exit leaving everyone behind.
As Louise looked around he saw a long wooden bench and grinned. “Quick, help move this thing! We can block the doors, give us and the heroes some time!”
Aurore looked up from her phone as she activated the Akuma alert and Mireille nodded as she did the same as her coworker. Ms. Mendeleiev looked at him before rushing to help as all their phones started to beep with the Akuma Alarm. Nora pushed the bench in front of the doors and looked around for anything
“Need some help?” A voice from behind caused them to turn their heads to see Chat Noir, Carapace and Roi Stinge.
“Roi Stine, find anything to help keep the door closed! Carapace, get ready to block whatever comes out! Who are we looking at here?” Chat Noir asked as the others went to work as the civilians moved away.
“Double attack, both Damocles and Bustier, the Akuma is in a folder!” Mendeleiev said and Chat Noir almost went still as he realized what they were facing. “Wait how did you know to come in?”
“Lila Rossi and who I think is her mother made a new land speed record, yeah we came in,” Carapace said as Roi Stinge handed a wooden chair to Nora.
“We heard about this and what almost happened, figured some of us should be on standby,” Chat Noir said and Mendeleiev looked at them moments before a gunshot rang out.
“Everyone move now! Out!” Chat Noir commanded and everyone ran towards the exit, the heroes watching their back.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Inside the room Bustier and Damocles were still standing there, not moving an inch as two energy masks formed slowly over their faces before Shadowmoth could speak to them.
“Dark Owl, hello again. And hello to you Moon Raven! I am Shadow Moth! So these fools dared to go against your Authority Dark Owl, grant me my prize and I will make you the head of all Education in the City! Moon Raven, why should these people not understand the lessons you were trying to teach the students under your care, serve my goal and I will make you the teacher who sets the rules all must follow, with your Midnight Coven, bring me the Miraculous!”
“Let Justice be done under the claws of the Coven!” Damocles called out as the slime covered his and Bustier’s bodies in a ten-foot sphere.
From the sphere came ten balls of slime that shot out and hit the ground, each one grew into an androgynous humanoid the size of a teen. They had grey skin and all of them were dressed in orange shirts and pants that formed into brown gloves and boots with an orange cloak on their backs. Their heads were all covered by beaked helmets that exposed the grey skin of their mouths.
The energy died down and revealed the Dark Owl was the same as he had been before, a grey-skinned being with yellow round eyes with half white, half orange sclera. His face was still covered by a black mask with white edges of the eyes, above were two brown tops that started over the eyes and went around the face to point backward. His beard was visible and brown, his mustache had grown to be more notable with the tips sticking out while the whole thing had black strips going up it. His black suit was the same down to its brown coveringing and padding over the arms, legs and upper body, and the covering had darker lines and a brown owl’s face on the chest. His arms were ended with brown gloves with brown ridges and on his feet were brown boots with steel soles. His brown cape flawed out and turned into wings and back and there were feathers on the edge
Caline Bustier stood there in her new Akuma form. Her skin was a stark gray, and she wore a form-fitting golden bodysuit with a red raven’s head on her right breast. On her head was an open helmet with a beaked visor that went to just above her golden lips. Around her waist was a black belt with white lines on the outside and small pouches and on her shoulders was a golden cape that went to her feet, feet that were in high-heeled knee-high boots. In her hands was a fighting staff and she grinned evilly as she looked around the chambers.
“Come Moon Raven, let's find these fools and show them what true justice is!” Dark Owl declared as Moon Raven laughed and nodded. “Quick Moon, take the documents of justice and keep them safe!”
“Got it Owl, let's hunt down those misguided ones, Marinette will be a perfect Sparrow to spread our message!” Moon Raven said with a grin in her voice. Before they could move a slow dark laugh caused them to see Daniel was still behind the table, a crazed look in his eyes.
“You know, this is great! I finally get to see if Akuma are bulletproof!” Daniel said as he brought up a double-barreled shotgun and with a boom, one of the Midnight Crew’s heads was blown off. As it collapsed into slime Dark Owl and Moon Raven moved backward as the Midnight Crew rushed towards the door. As they tried to open it Daniels grinned and lined up another shot on Dark Owl as he jumped around the room. “Stop jumping! You’re gonna make me get out the axe!”
Dark Owl threw a small ball at the ground before the judge’s table and a blight light flashed and Daniels closed his eyes instantly.
“To the side door crew, follow me!” Dark Owl bellowed and led the way, two of the Midnight Crew attacked Daniels and he shot again hitting one in the head but the other was on him before he could draw a bead. As he fell backward he let go of his rifle and grappled with the Sentimonster.
However moments later someone bashed the Sentimonster’s head off, and its body collapsed into slime that pooled away from Daniel. Looking up he saw Lenore holding a chair in her hand, breathing heavily.
“Come on, we need to get away now!” Lenore said as she reached down and Daniels sighed and nodded. A bubbling sound caused him to turn and pale as he looked towards the remains of the first Sentimonster he ’killed’.

Adrien glanced back in the direction of the palace. She was right, of course; his father would worry. The curtain had fallen on his brief playact at freedom. “Then at least take the umbrella, to keep you and your sketches dry.”
Prince Adrien took the umbrella from his bodyguard’s hands and placed it in Marinette’s. As her fingers brushed his, her cheeks grew hot and a strange spark seemed to travel up her arm, not unlike the magic that filled her when she was Ladybug.
Words clamored up her throat, all a mess, jumbled, fighting for freedom and in the end, she could not even stammer out a thank you.
As the bodyguard opened the carriage door for Prince Adrien, and Prince Adrien stepped out into the rain, the umbrella collapsed on top of Marinette. She yelped in surprise and Prince Adrien gasped — and then he burst out into laughter.

ART BY @mari-cherri (@mari-monsta) THANK U SO MUCH MARI MUAH
I posted a new fic!
I (Wish I) Knew You
49k words, 10 chapters, COMPLETE
LadyNoir, aged-up, hurt/comfort, (please check the tags for possible triggers, etc)
University has been hard on Marinette. Making new friends and maintaining her grades is a lot easier said than done when she has to disappear at odd times to fight akumas. She's struggling, and with Alya away with family and Adrien painfully out of reach, she's never felt lonelier.
If only she could talk to someone who really understood her struggles... but it's not like Chat Noir would know anything about loneliness. Right?
#ladybug#chat noir#ladynoir#cat noir#miraculous#miraculous ladybug#ml#my art#<- BECAUSE THE FIC IS MY ART. THE ART IS NOT MY ART IT'S MARI'S#GETTING THIS IN BEFORE LADYNOIR JULY ENDS!!!!!#i wish i knew you

Intro to my new series involving Ladybug, Yuichi, Lemon, and Tangerine; The Garden 🪴 🐝
Ladybug and Yuichi teamed up with Lemon and Tangerine after the Bullet Train incident and they are creating their own underground group for underground jobs. Since they are all well known assassins, the jobs they get pay a large amount; so much so that they had a whole luxurious safe house built that they called The Garden.
Knowing that they needed a handler, they invited you to live in the tech quarters of the safe house. You are now enjoying life everyday with your best friends in your new home.
Codename: Bumblebee aka BB
You’re section of the house is called The Hivemind where you manage the missions, the hacking, and suppling of The Garden.
Although being a critical part of a secret assassin organization can be a little stressful, you find yourself very much at peace with your new roommates.
Lemon is like your big brother that you could always rely on for advice (especially on people). You both are also the cooks of the house so you guys like to bond on recipes and how fucking useless the rest of the crew is, even when it comes to making eggs properly. You also are the one to provide him a full-year supply of Thomas the Train stickers so he could use it on every mission; which surprisingly has become a very helpful must have item on the job.
Yuichi is very closed-off but at the end of the day, you guys can always have a laugh on the couch while eating Cheerios and watching tv. Whenever Wataru comes over from his grandpa’s house, you always have a blast playing with him; Yuichi tells you every time how much he appreciates you for it. He also prefers to refer to your codename in Japanese; Hachi. ps. he refuses to have a silly codename.
Ladybug is the type to want to take you out for fun outings and yoga sessions. Whenever you both feel like you need a break or want to celebrate something, you two band together to make it happen for the crew. You’re both each other’s wellness bestie so he likes to come to you to help him mediate or relax from a stressful day of being a bit unlucky.
Tangerine is the man you come to for suggestions on top tier stuff. He has amazing taste in clothes, supplies, furniture, books, and basically everything. He has such a knack for details that you can never go wrong with his opinion. One day, you and Ladybug were planning an outing to a fancy restaurant to celebrate a very successful pay out. You asked Tangerine for his input on what to wear to look as sexy as possible. He actually chose a dress for you that matched his suit perfectly and you both went arm in arm, looking like celebrities going to the MET Gala. From then on, you trusted his input completely.
They are such different people but get along pretty well despite their occasional clashing of personalities. Each one of you has a role to play and you all do it well so no matter how tense things get, you all manage exceptionally in each mission. Living together only brings you all closer and sometimes, especially with how open you are with them, maybe too close… in a good way.
—
a/n: you guys have no idea how excited i am for this story to begin. just writing this intro got me so hype that i’m going to try to make this like as top tier as i can. as a heads up, i will be working on this all weekend and will have the first part up by monday since I want to make it longer and more tidy than the rest. and who knows, maybe it will be a little smutty throughout the series…👀

Safe and Sound
Tags: fatal vore. Soft. Comfort food.
I love fat wolf hybrid Namjoon rubbing his bulging belly and telling the chubby bunny inside that they're "safe and sound."
Jungkook feels so safe tucked deep into the wolf's belly, and hearing how well the predator is going to take care of him has him cuddling in and believing it, because how can it not be safe? He's so warm and snuggled. The purred words of comfort filter down to him, vibrating around him.
"That's it, little bun. Just relax. I'll take such good care of you~"
Jungkook feels so cozy. There are big hands petting him soothingly through thick padding, just like the plump prey is wrapped up in a heated blanket. Mmmh~ the bun feels so sheltered. So adored and protected like this. Jungkook can't even remember... why was he scared? The remnants of fear are dissolving away. He feels amazing now. He's so safe and cared for. Loved and cherished.
The wolf grins down at his belly as his meal settles in, sweet and willing... just waiting to be devoured. Because there is no where less safe than inside of the predator's hungry, greedy gut. A deep, satisfied belly gurgle confirms it, and the prey just cuddles in more, completely oblivious and happily dumb to anything except how snuggled up they feel.
"Safe and sound~" Namjoon cooes again as the predator lounges and rubs his full gut in lazy bliss, smug and fat with the most delicious delicacy.

Chapter 24
Sorry I forgot to post this here last time, sorry again! And expect the next chapter, chapter 26 out here tomorrow by 5PM!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Captain Hardrock scowled as the four born Bees hovered and pulled up one of the dead River Krakens, once they had started to do that she had ordered her crew to keep the big one from eating it any way they knew how, Lady Blaze had sent Dark-Phoenix against it as the other bees attacked the Liberty, their canons barely holding the other beasts off.
Captain Hardrock however looked at the dead Two-faced cat monster behind the Queen and scowled, if that giant bee laid two eggs for eating either one of her bees and the Fishmen, then what would something like that let her do? Was it dependent on how much mass her food was? Is it the magic? Still, they were holding their own, but if they broke on these reefs of these bees then that would be it, and who knows how many eggs it would lay if it ate her and her crew?
Frankly, she didn’t want to know, but she knew that all she needed to do was keep that giant thing from eating anything else until Chat Noir killed it. As Princess Flora was carried by a vine from the river back to the Liberty her Death-Horn killed another Bee that tried to attack her in transit, the body split in two moments before Princess Flora was dropped next to Captain Hardrock.
Princess Flora looked down at the river, frowning as she raised her right hand and the River Kraken the Bees were after was suddenly pulled back down deeper into the river. The bees flew to the water’s edge before they stopped, looking around for anything before they moved towards the dead Two Headed cat.
“All hands fire at will, target is the beast’s corpse! Did you talk to them?” Captain Hardrock asked and Princess Flora nodded.
“Yes, they need the new Dragon to get right, and I told them we’d give them five minutes after they kill the big one,” Princess Flora said and Captain Hardrock glared at her as a Butterfly mask appeared over her face.
“The Admiral isn’t happy that you didn’t mention that to him lass,” Captain Hardrock said sternly and Princess Flora only giggled. Captairock scowled and looked at the girl, from what memories she had from her source, Princess Flora’s e was always one of those people who tried to look at the positive side of life, something Captain Hardrock’s source saw as a good thing but if the girl fought to mention part of the plan
“Oh but that’s the plan Master Shadowmoth. Yes, I said we would give five-minute before we attack them, but I never said we wouldn’t chase t-**hem down,” Princess Flora said and Captain Hardrock grinned as the butterfly mask went away.
“He’s laughing girly, how do we do this?” Captain Hardrock as Lady Blaze sent a blast of flames at one of the bees as it tried to attack the ship.
Princess Flora looked at the Queen, smiling evilly as her Death-Horn sliced off one of its right arms with a blast. “We need to drive it backward, then they kill it.”
A roar from the Queen as it ate the last two remaining first-created bees and two eggs dropped from the Queen’s back, two eggs that were picked up and carried away by two of the other bees. As Dark-Phoenix flew after them, a spinning top was thrown and destroyed one egg as the other hatched and flew towards the other battlefield.
“I hope your plan will work beloved!” Lady Blaze called out as she blasted away at the Queen. As Princess Flora sent her Sentimonster to attack the bee, Captain Hardrock gripped the steering wheel and grinned.

At the other battle site, Ladybug killed another Bee and tensed for a moment before a scream came from within the building.
“Oh god! Help!” Theo cried out and Ladybug jumped back as Pegasus and Carapace moved to help as one of the Sentimonster Pirates joined them.
“What’s wrong!?” Carapace called out and The looked at
“One of the women in here is pregnant, the baby’s coming!” Theo called out and Ladybug went still, Carapace broke down the door and Pegasus ran into the building, they could all hear a scream of pain from the room the other civilians had retreated to.
The remaining bees attacked the Sentimonsters as they gathered in front of the building, Carapace and Ladybug fighting back as the Bees seemed to be guarding their dead. The answer why was revealed as two more bees appeared and grabbed two corpses, carrying them back toward the river.
“We need to get her out of here!” Ladybug called out as she spun her yoyo around as a shield. “Pegasus, make a portal to the hospital, Carapace keep the bees from getting by you and I’ll keep any if they get past you from going through the portal, we’ll evacuate the others with her! I’ll go and help move her!”
A screech from the river caused the Sentimonsters to look towards it as four bees flew towards them, two of them screeching as they attacked the Sentimonsters before an arrow killed one of them. As the Sentimonster skeleton pirates fought on Carapace defended the doorway, scowling as the new ones aimed their stingers and fired blasts from them.
Screams from inside caused him to wince and look at the Sentimonsters. He took a deep breath and nodded. “Hey Senti-dudes, I’m forming my shield get ready!”
The Sentimonsters nodded as a purple energy butterfly mask formed over one of them and it grinned. “The Captain is almost ready to handle the big one, we’ll give you five minutes once the beast is dead!”
“What if they go wild without a controller?” Theo asked and a hard laugh was heard.
“We’ve got plans for animal control like this! As we speak the rest of the cities SWAT are arming with shotguns and they’ll be here soon!” Commissaire Bertolfo called out and Carapace nodded.
As the bees fired again Carapace blocked with his shield before he grinned as he heard a screech from the river.
“Portal!” Pegasus called out and Carapace chuckled.
“Thanks for the help dudes, but I need space so Shell-ter!” Carapace called out before pointing his shield upwards as a large green energy formed, covering the building and pushing the Sentimonsters and the Bees against the building on the other side.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
As the Liberty fired from its figure cannon and sails, Captain Hardrock grinned. The plan was working, soon the monster would be slain and then they would chase down the heroes. Suddenly she went still as she saw through her away team’s eyes. They were being crushed against the building by Carapace’s shield power, and looking around she couldn’t see Ladybug anywhere. “What!? What are they doing!?”
“Waiting for/ Princess Flora said and turned to look at Captain Hardrock as Lady Blaze shot another fireball at the Queen, it hit one of the remaining arm on one side and blasted it off, the monster screeched in pain as Dark Phoenix and Death-Horn tackled the monster, holding it in place for Chat Noir, and in the perfect place to grab him once he destroyed the bee.
“NOT THEM, THE ONES AT THE BUILDING!” Captain Hardrock snarled as she looked towards the shore. What are they doing?! Why would they do that now? She thought before the Queen was pushed backward by her ship's volley and it cried out in pain and rage, she turned back and realized that was the signal the heroes were waiting for.
“AIR DRAGON!” A voice called out farther down the river and Chat Noir rose into the air.
“This needs a Cataclysm! Throw me!” Chat Noir cried out before he was shot towards the battle.
Captain Hardrock grinned as she watched Chat Noir arc through the air but she frowned, something didn’t look right. Suddenly she turned towards the opposite shore as everything made sense and crystallized. “No……. that’s it! Girls, get your monsters towards the far shore look for Ladybug!”
But before Lady Blaze and Princess Flora could do more than turn towards her, Captain Hardrock heard the one cry that she knew was coming.
“Thunder Dragon!” Arashiko called out and within moments she landed on and struck the Queen in her lighting form before she slashed out with her katana and Death-Horn and Dark Phoenix were blasted back towards the water. Chat Noir flew by her with his hand pulled back and all Captain Hardrock could do was wonder how this was possible.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
“For this to work, I’ll contact Commissaire Bertolfo and have them make a commotion to call you into building Ladybug and Pegasus,” Viperion said softly as he looked around and saw everything his plan would need.
Viperion activated his weapon-item’s communicator and after a few moments, he was talking to the Commissaire, explaining what he had to do.
“Yeah, we’ve got someone in here who’s a few months pregnant, that’ll work! Theo, go ask her to scream in pain and get back here,” Commissaire Bertolfo said and Theo nodded and ran off.
“While I’m doing that, River team; move downstream from the battle. Dragon-Girl, once your there use Wind to carry Chat Noir upwards, throw him so he can jump at the Liberty, then shock the Queen and the two flying Sentimonsters to give him cover!”
As Chat Noir led the way, they heard the Liberty attack and grinned at each other
“Remember Pegasus, the field where Kitty Selection had that concert a few weeks back, once it forms go through Ladybug and get that butterfly. All force Go on my SECOND CHANCE!” Viperion said as he formed another arrow and fired.
“Portal!” Pegasus called out as he formed a portal within the room Theo had led him and Ladybug to. As Ladybug jumped through he hoped this would work.

As soon as Chat Noir touched the transformed Liberty, it disintegrated. As Captain Hardrock, Lady Blaze, and Princess Flora fell and turned back to normal Arashiko rode the dead Queen Bee into the river as the other bees dropped as well, and at the same moment, all the Sentimonsters disintegrated. As the corrupted butterfly flew free, Ladybug appeared, jumped over the river, and caught the insect in her yoyo as she flipped over during her jump.
“No more evil-doing for you little butterfly!” She said as she landed on the opposite shore. “Lucky Charm!”
As she threw her yoyo up, it released a blast of energy that coalesced into a small red anchor with black polka-dots all over it. She looked at it and laughed a little before she threw it into the air where it exploded into a swarm of ladybugs that flew around, fixing the damage some of the damage but leaving the bridge destroyed, but the Liberty reformed the same as always, and Anarka, Juleka, and Rose were deposited onto it, Rose stumbled until Juleka caught her.
“Rose!” Juleka cried as she hugged her friend. Rose looked up and smiled at her very good friend and tried to gather her strength back.
“I’m fine Juleka, I just feel so tired. I need to sit down somewhere,” Rose said as she struggled to keep her eyes open.
As Chat Noir and Arashiko made it to shore, Apisera dashed back to the area and looked at the destroyed bridge as Carapace dropped the spell, a bit of the damage done by the Monster Bees was still there, here and the bridge ad a hole going through it. As she looked around, Apisera hid a wince as she knew her father hadn’t paid the city’s Super Villain Insurance since Ladybug’s cure worked so well, but then maybe this would be the kick he needed.

As Shadowmoth detransformed and Enhancetress turned back to normal, he sighed and shook his head.
“Another disruption! Who was that man? Where did he come from and how long was he down there?” Gabriel muttered as Duusu and Nooroo hugged each other and Duusu looked at his friend before sighing.
“I’ve fought someone like him before and his powers……. It’s the magic of Unlife,” Duusu said softly and flew towards Gabriel who looked at the Kwami with a shocked look.
“Explain,” Gabriel chocked out and Duusu looked at him and took a deep breath.
“Magic is, it follows its own laws. Unlife magic takes a life form and changes it according to the caster’s will. It was considered a Heresy back before the Order took me,” Duusu said and went still as Nooroo looked at the kwami who grinned. “The Order took me, the Order TOOK ME!”
Duusu started to laugh and fly around the room, the only sounds he made were that of pure joy. Gabriel and Nathalie looked on and after a few moments they looked at each other and then looked at Nooroo who kept silent but Gabriel thought he saw envy in the moth kwami’s eyes.
“Explain, please?” Nathalie asked Duusu flew to Gabriel and hugged his check.
“OH YOU WONDERFUL MAN, YOU FREED ME! Miss Emilia will be so happy…….. Miss Emilia, where is miss Emilia?!” Duusu demanded as he looked around the room.
Gabriel felt a flash of anger, how dare the same creature that led to her state be worried about her? But then he remembered how she said don’t blame Duusu before she passed out. Nathalie meanwhile looked at the Kwami and wondered if she should tell it, but then Nooroo took the choice out of her hands.
“She’s asleep kindred, the two of you pushed yourselves too hard,” Nooroo said and Duusu went still.
“That scum! If I ever find out who they are I’ll!” Duusu snarled and the others looked at him in shock.
“Wait, ‘Scum!?’ Someone did that to her!?” Gabriel growled and Duusu nodded.
“It was like when the Order killed my Chosen’s family and stole me! They woke me up from my slumber when they tried to drain our mana!” Duusu said Gabriel growled and looked ready to punch someone but something that the Kwami said caused him to go still and turn towards Nooroo and glare.
“What did they mean, stole Nooroo?” Gabriel growled. Nooroo stayed silent but Duusu spoke up.
“The Order whose book you used? They are nothing more than thieves who tracked down my friends and stole or took us from those who found us! They cast spells to keep us from telling others what they did and kept us from our friends beyond the groups they created for us! They used us by giving us to specially chosen wielders who they had captives to threaten or were related to elder members of their cult! They used to protect the balance, the balance with them on top ruling over others!” Duusu said angrily and Gabriel frowned as Nathalie gasped as Nooroo hung his head.
Gabriel frowned, something about this was bothering him. It was horrible and he could see another factor that would affect his plans, but there was something else.
“Oh my. Was the temple in Tibet, the one that appeared there a few weeks back?” Nathalie asked and Nooroo nodded.
Gabriel went silent, looking at Nooroo who kept silent, wondering how the spells affected what the Kwami had been able to tell him. And given how he had treated the little being, he wouldn’t be too mad and punish it. But those spells put everything he had learned in doubt, and he needed to be sure nothing would happen that would hurt more people than he already had to save his wife.
“The temple is back?! Then those monsters will come! This time we have to send Nooroo’s champions at them with my monsters, even the help of the heroes might not be enough! I don’t want to be caught by them again, please don’t let them take me, Miss Nathalie!” Duusu cried out in fear as he hugged Nathalie’s neck.
“We won’t let them take you, I promise,” Nathalie said and Gabriel nodded before he realized just what had been bothering him. As he looked at the cowering Kwami, he realized just what it was and spoke up before he could stop himself.
“Wait, if they were so evil, why didn’t they use the wish to rule the world?” Gabriel asked and Duusu looked at him, totally flabbergasted.
“What wish? Wait……. Tikki and Plagg? They can only affect the future without destroying the planet at least! You need the time warning of Fluff and Lonng to know what to wish for! And even then, if fate is changed something similar, either worse or less will happen! When the warning was that Atlantis was destroyed by a tsunami, the wish changed the steps but the dance remained mostly the same,” Duusu explained and Gabriel looked at the Kwami in shock.
“Backup, destroy the planet and remake so what is wished for happens, that’s how it affects past events!?” Nathalie asked as Gabriel paled in horror. Nooroo looked down and sighed as Gabriel’s eyes found him and looked up, his eyes showing Gabriel that what he heard was true, and more.
“The Order, they cast spells that kept you, you as in the Kwami from telling your holders information?” Gabriel asked and Duusu nodded. Gabriel just stared into space before he exploded. With a scream, he threw a chair against one of the walls, Nathalie and the Kwami only watched as he destroyed the few small pieces of furniture that they had put into the room.
A few moments later Gabriel panted as he held a broken chair leg.
“So at the end if I had won at all, the entire plant would have died for my wish to save her?!” Gabriel snarled out the question and Duusu shook their head.
“But we don’t need the full wish to help miss Emilie, all we need is Tikki and a few others, then a ritual done by each holder in order and she should be healed if she’s just asleep,” Duusu said and Gabriel felt a spark of hope.
If they could heal her without the wish, then they wouldn’t destroy the world to save her. And that meant the information the Seven gave them might not be needed, sure they had healed Nathalie but something about their mysterious goal was bothering him. And with the drama about Lila and Marinette, plus how Adrien was hiding somewhere and trying to get emancipation, he needed good news and this might be what he need.
A thought struck him and he looked at Duusu, knowing he had to ask a few questions that he had to ask if he wanted to move forward. “What did you mean, slumber?”
“The Order changed it, now when a Kwami enters their Miraculous, we fall asleep. We can’t see anything, we just sleep,” Duusu admitted and Gabriel looked at him and nodded. That meant he had just had one last question, he had to know just what he might have been fighting for.
“And if I use the wish to just heal her, not to change what happened, would that have worked with no side effects?” Gabriel asked and Duusu nodded.
“I’m sorry but no. If you had only wished her to healed…… then it would only transfer what’s wrong to someone else that you cared about the same amount, and you can’t make the choice who is affected,” Duusu said softly and Gabriel went still as Nathalie paled as they both realized who would be the one to truly pay to get Emilie back.
Gabriel looked up and away, a thousand thoughts going through his mind. He wanted her back for his son, not to lose him forever. “We go ahead with our plans like normal.”
“Are you mad, didn’t you hear what Duusu said about it!?” Nathalie demanded and Gabriel winced.
Turning to look at he saw the look Nathalie sent him he shook his head. “We won’t use the wish, Nathalie. We’ll find a way to heal her without it, but we’ll just go through the motions until we have a sure way that no one will have to pay for or one that will cause Emile to kill us both when we save her Nathalie. We might need the Seven’s help after all but we go forward with our plans for Lila and we go from there.”
Nathalie paled as she remembered how Emile would react sometimes in the past when someone tried to hurt people when she was around. The things she probably would do to them, well she didn’t want to think about it more than for a minute.
“And you,” Gabriel said as he looked at Duusu who floated there. “We will talk about who exactly we need to heal her, and what happened to you two later. My nerves can’t handle anything else after all this.”

As Carapace dropped his shield Commissaire Bertolfo and Theo looked at the dead Bees as the SWAT members moved out and started to make sure the bodies were all dead.
“Cleanup is gonna be a mess. Well this should get the Mayor to raise our budget at least,” Commissaire Bertolfo said as Theo looked at him and Bertolfo shrugged.
“Your budget!? That’s what you're taking away from all this!?” Theo demanded and Bertolfo looked at him and started to laugh.
Theo only stared at him, not understanding what had set him off.
“Why are you laughing, this is terrible!” Theo said and Bertolfo just laughed harder until he finally stopped.
“Kid, this is nothing! What’s so bad?” Bertolfo asked and Theo gestured all around them.
“The Bees!” Theo said gesturing around at the carnage around them.
Bertolfo just looked at him in disbelief and shook his head as he laughed a little more.
Theo stared at him in shock and felt his cheeks turn red. “What’s so funny!?”
“Kid, the fact that Ladybug and the heroes have been able to clean up most of the damage has been a miracle, this is normal for the monster maker villains. We’ve got a few vehicles, by this time tomorrow the city will be back to normal,” Bertolfo said and Theo looked at him before sighing.
Carapace winced behind them as Pegasus looked down. They knew all about such troubles the Commissaire was talking about, they had been eight when the Monster Winter happened and the efforts to recover and repair the damage. If whoever did this did it again, then the entire city was in danger. All they could do now was hope that they had killed and stopped all the creatures if even one of them escaped and they were capable of breeding………

Deep within the catacombs, far below where people ever went, a large rat the size of a cat ran through the darkness. Behind it a buzzing followed it, the rat moving faster and faster before a large hand suddenly grabbed it and squeezed it, breaking its spine and neck, killing it instantly. The hand was covered in chitin and long. The body was carried back the way the rat had run until it reached a cavern lit by strange glowing fungus. The cavern was the size of a football field and at the center, three Drone bee monsters hovered as a bee the size of a motorcycle ate rats the same size as the killed one, revealed to be carried by a Worker. As the Worker flew closer to the newborn Queen was easier to see, like the one the heroes had killed it had four arms but the top pair were covered in strange mucus, and the newborn creature's eyes shined a black color as an egg fell from its behind. As it looked upwards towards the surface more Workers flew into the cavern, each carrying the result of their hunts.

As she sat and watched the TV, the app on her phone give the all-clear signal that the Akuma had been defeated, it was all she could do not to scream at what she had seen. A Bio-Hacker, here, now?! How, just how! Most of them live in the wild, why is he here, so close to Rome?! This will cause them to come to the city, to try and purge every one of us they can find, this will let the world know about everything! And if that fool is still alive, then my plan is in danger! He’ll know what Lila is, I have to keep her close, no act normal don’t draw attention to yourself, that’s how you gain your goal. Once I have my revenge, I’ll use her bones to make fine china and I’ll force her grandchild to serve me food on them! She thought before such pain suddenly went through her and she dropped to the ground, biting back a scream.
As Dolores’s grabbed her stomach she bit her lips as she felt pain and heat from deeper within, after a few moments the pain died down and the heat cooled down, she looked at her arm as it throbbed and she knew she would need to start the preparations to change her clothing soon. So far everything was going well on that end, the directives she told her fleshbot to prioritize last time had been perfect, all she needed was for it to get into an accident in a week, fall into a coma, and then she would get a new dress soon.
As she got up she walked towards the cabinet and she kept her materials and slowly opened it to reveal ten blocks of stone six inches high and long. Picking one up she called up her power, a white glow formed around her hand and then the block, the block slowly changed shape until it had transformed into a black rat with a pentagram indention on its back and another on its head. Closing the cabinet she carried the rat statue toward her room. “Hmmm, I need to order a few new blocks soon, and I should put a few of my white failures, it would be good to get some new funds.”
As she walked into her room she saw the small chest on her desk that she needed. Opening it once she reached it, the box was revealed to be full of pentagon gems of multiple colors. She looked at the gems and sighed as she shook her head. “I’m running out of a few colors, I should make more once I have the time.”
Reaching into the chest she took out a white gem that she put into the statue’s back, after that she put a red gem into the statue’s forehead, and then she dropped it to the floor. As it fell it came to ‘life’ and landed on all four paws, it looked up at her as wisps of flames came out of its mouth as the red and white gems gave off glows in their colors.
She glanced down at it and scowled. “Go and see if you can track down this Giles, and if you find any of his creations kill them all.”
The rat ran away, up the wall into an open duct, and ran into the building's internal airways. Dolores just sighed and shook her head.
“I need to increase the size of my creations, maybe set up a studio lair along the waterfront using one of my other identities, if this is to be war then I might need it,” She muttered as she looked out the window and frowned
and walked back to the living room as the phone rang. Smiling she moved towards it. Looking at it she saw it was the embassy and sighed, wondering what it was
“Yes, Dolores here. How can I help you?” Dolores said and she pulled the phone back as someone screamed at her.
“What the hell is that brat of yours doing?! We just got served a summons to a hearing in three days for an ‘Ambassador Rossi’! I swear if you weren’t one of the best I’d!” The angry male voice belonged to the current head of the embassy and Dolores's direct boss.
“Sir, it is in my file that my daughter has a habit of telling tall tales, harmless she said she saw things, I have no idea what this is about!” She said as she scowled. The little wrench must have cried to her parents and they believed her! This is……. Good! She thought as she blinked and grinned as plans bloomed behind her eyes. The idea that the girl would cry to her parents, that they would even be able to get the ball rolling like this was just what she needed for her long-term plans!
“Well find out! I don’t want to have to tell the head office about this! Ban enough we’re stuck here and are only a relay for the Ambassador, I don’t need your brat fucking everything up!” Her boss snarled and hung up without a word.
Dolores looked at her phone with a glare as she let out a quiet growl as her face turned red. That over-empowered public Leech! He talks nice and big when he’s just the single highest coffee boy who was ordered to remain when all the decision makers left! I wonder, before my cloth fitting should I send one of my statues to him as an anonymous gift, then make it kill him one night? She thought as she imagined that playing out behind her eyes and giggled a little.

Back at the river, Apisera looked at the damage and knew that this would cause a lot of trouble for the city. But then again, it might force her father to transfer money from a few plans his advisors had suggested for ‘the good of the city’ that seemed to be nothing but stupidity.
As Arashiko looked around she heard three beeps and looked around as Ladybug barked out an order.
“Time to leave, now! Arashiko with me! Chat take Carapace and Pegasus back, Apsiera……!” Ladybug called out and Apisera waved back.
“I got this boss bug, you go I’ll lead Viper boy away!” Aspirea called out and Ladybug nodded before grabbing Arashiko and leading her away from the river as Chat Noir ran towards Carapace and Pegasus who fell in behind him as they jumped past Viperion who hit the grounds near Theo who almost screamed.
As Apsiera came closer the Commissaire frowned. “I thought Miss Chloe was the wielder of the Bee. Did something cause that to change?”
Apsiera smiled and nodded. “Hawkmoth and his girl Friday made a play to get her on their side and other reasons, I’m the new wielder. If you want the full story check the Ladyblog tomorrow at Lunch, that’s going to explain everything. And a small favor, keep the alert up for about….. twenty minutes please?”
Bertolfo looked at the new Bee and nodded, understanding more than he wanted that the heroes needed the time to get back to their civilian lives. He looked at her as she sighed and then when she turned towards Viperion and walked over to him before he could speak, he just shook his head.
Looking towards the SWAT he whistled to get their attention. “Everyone keep the civilians inside! We’re treating these bodies as bombs for now! If they don’t go off in an hour we let everyone go! Somebody call the cleaners, special division now!”
Commissaire Bertolfo looked around and saw Theo and grabbed him, pulling him as he walked towards the river.
“HEY!” Theo called out and Commissaire Bertolfo just kept walking.
“Your with me boyo, I need another pair of eyes to check on the damage as I talk to the Akuma victims,” Commissaire Bertolfo said and Theo nodded after a few moments.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Viperion looked around as the police kept the people back, nodding to Apsiera when she looked at him. So far Viperion had to say that he hadn’t had too many reversions with the power of the Snake, and he wasn’t too mentally drained. But something still bothered him, who was that person, how was he able to create those monsters? Anyone who just heard about this would tell you it was Hawkmoth who had created the man, but then he had sent the Akuma after the attack, and then the villains it created had fought against the man and his monsters, and then there was the attack the other day, people say the Akuma’s fought against monsters and another super villain but nothing he read online told anyone anything about it.
All he could figure out from this was that this wasn’t as clear-cut as it was at first and he hoped this wasn’t a sign that things would get even more convoluted in the future.
As Apisera looked around she nodded, noticing that none of the bees were moving at all, and with the police ‘double tapping’ them, the threat was gone. She looked at Viperion and walked over to him and grabbed him before he could take a step towards the river. “Come on Snake-boy, let’s get out of here before the vultures get here and see you in your other suit.”
As she jumped upwards she looked over her shoulder as Viperion followed, after a few moments they had made it to a small area out of sight of the streets. As they landed they heard a beep from the Snake Miraculous aw he was at two beeps, with three minutes left on his timer.
“Good, this is perfect! Listen, the long and the short is we’re trying to get the rest of the Miraculous permanent wielders to deal with……. Problems. You’ve been chosen, will you accept?” Apisera asked and Viperion looked at her in shock.
He looked at her, wondering what to ask and then he looked at his Miraculous and then her, but he shook his head. “There are more reasons than just getting a bigger team, aren’t there?”
“Yeah,” Apisera said and shook her head.
“It’s a long story and basically……. The old Order might have been a cult and enslaved the Kwami,” Apisera said and Viperion stared at her before he felt himself shake a litter in anger. “Cool it snake boy, we’ve got a plan to fix this. And getting every one of them a Wielder is one of them.”
“Then for Sass, I will. If after he wants to leave me he should,” Viperion said and Apisera nodded.
“Good, you got time or do you need to get back to your civilian life?” Apisera asked and Viperion nodded back.
“Life, my family were the Akuma after all,” Viperion said and Apisera stared at him before giggling a little.
“Your Juleka’s brother? That Glamor does work wonders!” Apisera said as she laughed and Viperion transformed back into Luka.
“Yeah, I’ll see you later miss Bee,” Luka said as he dashed down out of the alley and then he ran towards the river. Apisera looked after him before jumping away, heading back towards the hotel.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ladybug smiled as she jumped from rooftop to rooftop, Arashiko following along behind her. the battle had been different but the team had done it, and they had two new permanent members hopefully. And letting someone else come up with the plan, that felt right, she wasn’t the leader she was one of the team, no more, no less.
As Arashiko landed next to Ladybug she moved to hand over her Miraculous when Ladybug raised a hand and smiled at her as her own Miraculous beeped again. “No Kagami, you don’t need to return it.”
“I don’t?” Arashiko asked in shock as she detransformed and looked at Ladybug who smiled back at her.
“No, Longg spoke of you with respect, he feels that you are an ideal candidate to wield his power, and you can join the team permanently like the others,” Ladybug said as Kagami’s mouth dropped open.
Kagami looked from Longg to Ladybug and felt the weight of this, she didn’t know what she felt really. Having a friend like Longg around would be something, she was sure he would have a lot of advice for her, and help her through her problems. But then she wondered if she could hide him from her mother, with how controlling she was. She was cold at the best of times and demanded that Kagami perform at a level that she alone demanded and even without her sight, the woman could detect a fault in Kagami’s swordsmanship and behaviors and seemed to be on a mission to force Kagami into a mold.
But no matter how she tried, Kagami wouldn’t bend or be broken to her whims. She felt proud of that and having someone else to talk to in the dead of the night was something that she would like, but part of her was worried that he would convince her of something that she knew but didn’t want to say.
“I…… that is an honor that I don’t know if I can accept, you know how my mother is when I first became Ryuko,” Kagami and Longg laughed a little.
“Hatchling, you are kind and honorable, perfect to wield my power. And there are other reasons for adding more heroes,” Longg said and Kagami looked up at the Kwami then she looked away. She didn’t know everything, but the chance to fight alongside the others more often, it was very tempting.
“I……. I would like this, but my mother……. If her robot guards see him, she might take you,” Kagami said and Longg grinned.
“There is a way around that hatchling, trust me. When the Kwami and the Wielder both believe that it’s best for we Kwami have to hide, just hold it and I can hide in it, I do have the ability to talk to you with our minds. But we won’t be able to transform for an hour after I’m released,” Longg cautioned and Kagami looked at Ladybug whose Miraculous beeped again.
“If that is okay, then yes I will,” Kagami said and Longg grinned and Ladybug smiled as another beep was heard.
“Welcome to the team Kagami, this will be like that time on Friendship Day,” Ladybug as she detransformed into Marinette with Tikki floating next to her. Kagami’s mouth dropped open and she stared at her friend as she brought out two cookies, one she handed to Longg who nodded and ate it quickly.
“What?” Kagami breathed in total shock. Looking at her, Kagami’s mind went over past events and saw many of them in a new light, seeing the understanding that explained it all and she laughed. She couldn’t believe it, after all those times something about Marinette called out to her, it was because Marinette was the person who gave her a second chance after she messed up with the Miraculous when her mother had become an Akuma.
“Yeah, it’s a shock seeing me and breaking the glamor right? Same thing happened to me. Now transform and get home before your mother starts looking for you,” Marinette said and Kagami nodded and looked at her.
“We will talk about this later, but thank you for your trust. Longg, Bring the Strom!” Kagami said clearly.
“Tikki Spots on!” Marinette called out as well.
The two superheroes hugged before they both dashed off in the same general direction, Marinette hopped that her parents hadn’t gone looking for her or Adrien, and Kagami hoped that her mother hadn’t been trying to get ahold of her r activated the cars AI.

A few minutes later Luka reached the street and some SWAT officers setting up barricades as others moved the Bee corpses away and into piles. As he tried to move by the barricades one of the police stopped him.
“Hold on son, this street’s closed,” One of the two officers said as he put a hand on Luka. Luka only looked at him and tried to keep his temper down.
“My family were the Akumas, the heroes brought me to safety and when I saw them leave I came back here. Are they okay, that thing appeared before the Akuma, did they hurt them?” Luka asked and the officer looked at him before nodding.
“Go straight to the river, don’t touch the bees,” The officer said as he let Luka pass. He ran, not stopping to gawk as he had already seen and even made the plan that defeated them. He reached the Liberty, seeing his mom talking with Commissaire Bertolfo while Rose and Juleka weren’t around made him worried, he hadn’t seen any doctors around so where were they?
“MOM!” Luka called out and Anarka looked up and saw him moving down the stairs toward the ship.
“Boyo, there you are! So you got away before the Hawk-scum could get ya? Good for you!” Anarka smiled and he nodded.
“Yeah, I was far enough away, where’s Jules and Rose?” Luka asked and Anarka looked down into the ship. Luka followed her gaze and realized what she meant but he figured out what she meant quickly. “They're down there, are they okay?!”
“Rose is a bit weak, I don’t know. She’s okay otherwise and well…… I said for her to try and sleep it off,” Anarka said and Luka went still as he felt Sass press against him.
“Oh, I hope she’s okay,” Luka said and the Commissaire nodded. Luka took a moment to look around and saw the giant Bee monster, and shuddered a little. Just looking at that thing and how it ate it to birth more of its kind, it made him scared about what it might have made if it ate his family or a human. He felt Sass press against him from his pocket and smiled, he would have to talk to Sass about this later, for now, he had to check on his sister.
“So those monsters attacked first like I heard, and after that Hawkmoth sent an Akuma?” Commissaire Bertolfo asked and Luka nodded.
“Great,” Commissaire Bertolfo muttered as he scars started to throb. He thought that Hawkmoth would be his last Super Villain before he retired, but it looks like he was wrong.
He would have to talk to the mayor about putting more money into the budget and contact the other stations, tell them to pay attention to anything, even if he had to use his authority as the Head of Paris’s Super Heroes Affairs office if he had to. A monster maker was seen as the worst because sometimes one escaped and bred in the wild, and that was the last thing the city needed. Looking at the sewers tunnel under the bridge, he just knew he would have to send in either drones or people to check them. And with how the things ate others, he wouldn’t send his men down there if he didn’t have to so drones it was
Luka looked at the damage and saw Theo taking notes on the other side of the bridge and smirked, he always knew his friend would run into trouble like this and help people. He had known Theo for a long time, and besides working part-time jobs to pay for his sculpting work he had a strong sense of justice. Most people wondered if he would become a sculptor and maybe a private eye on the side, since he often helped people find things they lost or missing pets.
He shook his head and moved into the Liberty as his mom and Commissaire Bertolfo kept talking, his mom telling him everything she remembered about Giles and what he had done.

Rose slept soundly on the bed, a smile on her face. Juleka had brought Rose down into her and Luka’s room, putting her into Juleka’s bed and within moments Rose had fallen into slumber. Juleka was worried, even with how her illness had treated her, she never reacted like this! And when she was freed from being Princess Fragrance, she had been better than she had ever been for weeks after that!
As she looked at Rose, she never noticed Luka coming up behind her. Putting a hand on her shoulder and one over her mouth, Juleka turned and saw Luka standing there, gesturing to go to the main room. Following behind him after she closed the door, Juleka followed her brother and once they reached the main room she hugged him and cried into his chest.
“I don’t know what to do Lu, I just don’t!” Juleka said softly as she cried into him.
Luka only shushed her as he patted her hair. Rose had been a friend of the family for years, and he saw her as another sister. “There, there little sister. Rose will be fine.”
“How Luka, how? This is the worse she’s ever been!” Juleka said as she looked up as she cried.
Luka nodded, he knew it. He hated when her sickness got the best of her, but this wasn’t like anything that had happened to her that he knew about. A stray thought about how she had been drained by those……… Luka went still and looked at the ceiling, moving towards the door.
“Jules, stay here I’ll be right back!” Luka said as Juleka looked after him. As soon as he reached the deck, he looked around and saw Theo talking to Commissaire Bertolfo quietly.
“Commissaire!” He called out as he ran towards them. As they turned and looked at him, he bit out a question. “The people you found here, are any of them very tired?”
“Yes, a lot of them were slimed first and now they are. Some almost fell asleep while we were hiding. Why?” Commissaire Bertolfo asked and Luka nodded.
“Thanks!” Luka said as he turned and ran back to Juleka. If his thoughts were right, then

Sabine smiled as she heard someone land on the roof, the threat was over. Thankfully the bakery had been empty so they had closed it down and then headed back to their apartment, and a quick check told them the kids had gone to fight. She was proud of them but she so wanted to talk to whoever choose them and have a nice long talk with them. As she looked down at her phone she saw the ‘Akuma, shelter in place’ warning on the app was still telling people to hide, but with them back it must be done, so what was happening?
As she sat there she looked out the window she saw Kagami moving towards where the school’s parking from where the alley was and frowned. Another child who had a strict parent, she hadn’t talked to Tomoe at all, but after hearing how and why she became an Akuma, that said all that was needed about her. Sometimes she wondered if being rich or important in the city meant being a parent that controlled more than loved their children, and the four examples she knew about did seem to favor that, but still. Tom reached over and squeezed her shoulder and she smiled at him.
Tom was a bit angry at whoever choose her himself, but at least he trusted Marinette to handle it, mostly. His time as an Akuma was something he regretted, but not the actions he took.
As he looked upwards he sighed. “We have to talk to her about it soon, you know.”
Sabine nodded, Tom was all set to tell her they knew once they figured it out, but then she suggested that maybe it would be best to let her keep going, only acting if they had to. But the failed mass attack, they were worried about what exactly it meant. And she knew that they would have to talk to her about it soon, after the hearing at the very least.
As Tom flipped the sign to open, their phones beeped and they looked down the ‘Akuam Alert’ was deactivated, he looked the outside and smiled. His daughter had gotten away, but then maybe she was back to get something to win, they didn’t know exactly what she had hidden away up there, after all the ‘Listener’ was just so she could destroy it and give his father piece of mind after what had happened to his old friend.
The two of them shared a look, both of them wondering if they should call out to the kids but a ringing told them the door was opening, time to get back to work.
