After Bunnix left the girls decided to go back home. That night Marinette once again didn't sleep. She replayed the video over and over again. She kept trying to find out how to rescue Adrien and defeat Hawkmoth but after going over the plans she found weakness in all of them and she wasn't sure what to do. Tikki has now begun to lose strength, she says she feels Plagg is growing weak and won't be able to resist Hawkmoth much longer. So the heroes must hurry and do somethings soon. After losing hours of sleep Marinette decided to listen to Adrien and trust Natalie. She picked up the phone and called her. After a long conversation Natalie and Marinette agreed it would be best to get more help.

Marinette's POV

The next morning I called the team to meet at the secret location to discuss our plan. Nino, Alya, Chloe and I had arrived at the location and decided to begin since we knew Natalie would be late due to her trying to avoid suspicion and either way who else can I trust more that my friends to make a decision this big.

"So what's the plan?" Alya askes eagerly. Knowing my best friend she only wishes for everything to go back to normal. After considering every possible scenario I have decided that we need to make our team grow, Hawkmoth is getting stronger and we have to find more help." I stopped for a second and saw that they were all in the same page so I continued. "I brought us together to get you opinion on who do you suggest are worthy of holding a miraculous." We all began to suggest people and why we thought they would make a good holder. Yes they were only holding them temporarily but we could not mess up so we considered the selected few very carefully. We then proceeded to call them there making sure they knew no one else could know.

After taking our pick we decided that it was best if everyone knew each other's identities beforehand. We were going to try to eliminate the chance for misunderstanding, drama or secrets; we wanted to make sure that there was nothing Hawkmoth would use against ourselves. Once everyone arrived we began to let them know of the situation.

"Hey guys I know you have a lot of questions at the moment but before I get to those I will like to try to explain the past events and why I called you guys here today." My nerves were all over the place and my voice was cracking but after seeing the look of admiration from my friends I became more confident. I mean everyone already knew I was Ladybug and no one was disappointed it was me in fact as soon as each of them got here they were all excited it was me. "As you all know I am Ladybug. I am sure that came as a shock to everyone that clumsy Marinette was one of Paris' superheroes but I hope that everyone here can accept that." I looked around and saw smiles and nods from everyone so I continued.

"You also now know that Chat Noir is our very own Adrien Agreste." "Was Adrien" Kim interrupted with and then frowned before continuing "I am sorry Marinette I know it has been hard for you" his voice lowering with each word. I smiled and cleared my throat before speaking. "No Adrien is Chat Noir. I know that is hard for you to believe me and it's hard for me to explain but Adrien is Chat Noir. Adrien is alive, but his miraculous has been taken from him. Hawkmoth wanted us to believe he killed Adrien to make me weak. Adrien is being held captive and that is why we are here." Everyone gasped and the shock was clear on their faces, suddenly Kagami spoke. "But I flew back here in time for the funeral, I was there but now that I think about it they made it look like there was a body in the closed casket and it was said that he was cataclysmed so how could they have been?" She closed her eyes trying to replay the events in her head.

"So this is a rescue mission?" Max asked. I nodded but then continued to speak "Yes sort of but there is more, as everyone already knows Chloe was and is once again Queen Bee, and before some of you ask why the answer is simple I trust her. She has been there for me and she is my friend. She has made mistakes in the past but will not be judge by them because we all make mistakes. Also and this might be new to you the past superheroes Rena Rough and Carapace are your own Alya and Nino. Now that that has been said I'll continue to what I was saying before Adrien is not dead and he has been held captive by Hawkmoth." I stopped as tears threatened to fall. Chloe then hugged me and continued to speak for me.

"What you guys need to know is that after some digging we were able to find Hawkmoths Identity and unfortunately he is none other than Adriens own father, Gabriel Agreste." Once again gasps are heard around the room and Kagami stood up in rage. "Gabriel! His own father is keeping him captive; his own father has been hurting him and faking his death. What kind of sick bastard does that?" She said irritated.

 Chloe held me tighter and continued speaking "yes now you can understand why the situation is difficult. We have heard from an inside source and a past associate of Hawkmoth that Adrien was not hurt in the stunt but he did feel the pain as if he had been. He was taken to somewhere in the Agreste Mansion and was kept asleep with injections for six day. After being woken up Hawkmoth revealed and offered him to partner up with him to defeat Ladybug but he denied. After denying helping his father he was kept tied up so he was not able to escape and warn us."

"Who exactly is this inside source and how do you know you can trust them?" Kim stood up joining Kagami. At that exact moment Natalie walks in and stands by me. "Hello Ms. Marinette I am sorry I am late." Natalie speaks to me but is quickly confronted by Kagami. "What the hell are you doing here? You are Gabriel assistant. You are the one who helped him wasn't it? How could you do that to Adrien?" Kagami was now yelling filled with rage as Natalie took a step back and lowered her head towards the ground. I quickly spoke trying to calm everyone down.

 "Yes she did, but she knows it was wrong and she is trying to make this right. I know that is hard for you to trust the woman who is behind the Peacock miraculous but I need you to know that Adrien does and so do I." I looked around and saw all eyes on me and most held confusion. "Natalie has joined our side; she has been our eyes and ears in the Agreste mansion. She is the reason we were ready for last night's akuma and I am asking you to trust her." I said determined.

Chloe continued speaking after me "look we already know you are wondering how we are so sure that Adrien trusts her so we'll just say it as it was. Adrien sent a message through the Rabbit miraculous which in the future will be held by Alix and last night she came back form the future to give us the message. I know it's a lot to take in but we need you to just trust us." Everyone was silent all understanding all except Alix who was in shock.

 Alya now stood beside us and spoke "We are planning on taking down Hawkmoth once and for all but we need more heroes to join the fight. You need to know that some of us are going to get hurt or even die, that we will be risking it all for the safety of Paris but if you are willing to join we can promise we will try to come up with the safest plan possible but there are no guarantees. So with that anyone who is afraid or simply just does not want to join the team can walk out right now." Alya stopped and waited to see if they made the right choice picking the new holder. She waited for a few minutes and saw no one had left in fact they all sat there waiting silently. Nino then laughed he knew they would stay.

I then walked towards the miraculous box and began to call out the Names and handing them their chosen miraculous.

"Kagami you have been chosen as the wielder of the Dragon Miraculous I believe you know it well." Kagami nods and I hand her the miraculous.

"Kim you have been chosen for the Monkey Miraculous as you are aware of it gives you the power of jubilation." Kim smiles and is handed the miraculous

"Max you are the wielder of the Horse Miraculous and as you already know grants the power of teleportation."

"Mylene you will be the wielder of the Mouse Miraculous which grants you the power of multiplication."

"And lastly Luka you have been chosen to be the wielder of the snake miraculous which grants you the power of intuition. I believe you know it well, we need our second chances." I smile and he smiles back at me but the frowns "are you sure about this? I mean after all I have done how can you still trust me?" Luka replies in a very low and pain filled voice. I lift his head up and give him a smile "I never doubted it for a second. Luka we all make mistakes but it is up to use weather we chose to learn from it or not. Of course I still trust you and I trust you are the perfect guy for this miraculous. After all we all deserve a second chance right?" We both smile and hug.

"Now for the plan." Natalie says
