HELLO PEOPLE!!!
Well, the reason I haven't been updating as much as usual, is because I have been swamped in schoolwork. AND NOW, I'm finally DONE! ....Well, almost. My brother is paying me 50 dollars if I do his schoolwork, but luckily, it's really easily because I'm his OLDER sister (I'm actually not, it's just the work is easy) Anyway....

Marinette's POV

Damian and I were playing video games, and he has lost every single round. We were almost done, when Chloe burst into the room. "I WON!" I screamed.

Chloe looked at me like something was wrong. "Marinette. We have a problem." She then proceeded to show me her phone.

IS OUR HERO A CRIMINAL?

Alya Cersere has a video, showing Ladybug and Queen Bee below. It has proven to be real:
(video showing Ladybug comforting a small girl then talking about going back to the interrogation room)
Is both of our heroes criminals? Records show that no one was at PPD earlier today. Could those two girls be living in another city, or better yet, country? If so, how could they get to the akuma battles? We have an answer. With an akuma named StarTrain years ago, Ladybug and Chat Noir got to the scene by teleportation by a certain Miraculous. With this special jewel, they could have come from anywhere in the world.

"Well, this is bad," I said, still looking down at me phone. "Well, who cares what they think of us? I sure don't." Damian looked at me and Chloe in confusion.

"I care!" Chloe yelled out to me. "Ughhh!"

"I'm sorry, Chloe. I didn't mean to."

"It's fine. You're just....a risk taker. I'm not mad at you...maybe a little bit, but it's fine," she said, pretending she was trying to reassure me, but it was obvious she was trying to reassure herself.

"Chloe calm down." It wasn't that bad, was it? That's what I wanted to say, but I was afraid of the reaction I would receive. "Ok, I know you're mad at me, but please don't tell Jason. I don't want him to be anymore mad at me about the little incident. We can tell him....maybe in a year or something. He probably won't be as mad."

Damian got both of us to calm down by reminding us of his presence. "What's going on?," then he proceeded to cough awkwardly. I looked at him, and my answer was the silence. "Well?"

"....if we tell you, you won't tell anyone?" He nodded his head. "Ok, look." It then handed him Chloe's phone.

He looked at it, then back up to me. "So? Two heroes are criminals. So what?"

"Those two criminals are us," I said with a scoff at the end. Damian had a look of understanding and let out a silent 'oh.' "You didn't know did you? Jason said he told you."

"I barely listen to anything Todd says, so that sounds about right."

"Oh, well, can you not tell him about all of this? Please? Or anyone else for that matter." He nodded his head. "Ok then. In the mean time, I'll try to get an interview with Nadja. We'll just say that we were being interrogated by a friend." Chloe let out an 'ok,' then Plagg came out. Damian flinched in surprise and didn't say a word.

"Kitten, I know who my true holder is." I looked at him in shock. He then pointed his little flipper at Damian. "Heeeee's your soulm-" Right then, Tikki came out of my purse and wacked him on the head. (A/N: I just wanted to say that none of them knew that Plagg said "soulmate.")

"PLAGG! I'm sorry Damian. Plagg can be a little..."

"Yeah, I think he gets it," Plagg said, rubbing hit head where he was smacked. "You didn't have to hit me so hard sugarcuuube," Plagg wined.

"Kalkki?" I asked, looking for the miniature horse god. She came out. "We need to take another trip to Paris."

"Yes, Great Guardi- I mean Marinette."

I smiled, "Come on." I merged Kalkki and Tikki together, and Chloe transformed. I made a portal and we hopped through. I could see Damian, and he looked like he wanted to come. I stepped back through, and handed the ring to him. "Put it on, and say Claws Out. You're the true holder anyway. You were destined to have it according to Plagg," He looked confused.

"What?" he asked. I gave him a look, telling him I was serious, and he did what I asked him to. You could see his eyes widen in surprise as I grabbed his hand and stepped through. The portal closed behind us, and I called out 'Dismount.' I took the glasses off and placed them carefully in my yo-yo. Then, I used it as a phone and dialed a number.

Hello?

"Hey, Nadja. I was wondering, can we talk to you?" That was followed by nervous laughter.

Of course, Ladybug. Are you coming over now?

"Yes." I then hung up and wrapped it around my waist. "So, what are we gonna call you?" I asked Damian.

"You pick, I don't have a good imagination."

"How about....I got it! You'll find out later." It looked like he was about to protest, but he didn't. I took off to the TVi news station with my two friends following behind.

"Ladybug!" I heard from Alya as I passed by. I rolled my eyes. She's the one who got us in this mess. I ignored her, and continued forward to my destination.

When I arrived, Nadja was there waiting for me. "Hey," I said as I landed in front of her.

"Hello, Ladybug. Who's this?"

"This is Terrain Black," I said back to her. She smiled. "Can you let it be known that the word 'interrogation' was meant figuratively. Bee and I were trying to hide our sudden disappearances all the time, from our friend. He eventually found out, and was gifted with the miraculous of the Black Cat."

Her face held understanding, "Well, I don't think Paris would believe me over you, so maybe we can get the words on live?" I guess she didn't phrase it the right way, but I understood what she was trying to get across.

She wanted an interview with the new superhero.

I inwardly rolled my eyes, but still wore a smile and followed her to the front of the camera. She started, "Don't be bemused, it's just the news. Nadja Shamack on live with the famous Ladybug, Queen Bee, and new addition to the team, Terrain Black. So, there was some rumors started that you got arrested. Are they true?"

"No, Mrs. Shamack, they weren't. Terrain Black suspected that Queen Bee and I were who we were. Then, the akuma happened, and it was obvious. When we got back, we told him the truth and I gave him the Black Cat miraculous. I, being the guardian, suspected that he was the true welder of the miraculous, so it was just a matter of time until he found out."

"That makes sense. So, have we gained a new hero?"

I looked at Damian. I would love for him to be Terrain Black, but he already has Robin. I whispered under my breath, so only he could hear, "Whatever you want." I think he knew what I meant.

Damian's POV

I heard Marinette whisper, "Whatever you want," under her breath. I would do anything-and I mean anything- to spend more time with her.

So I said, "I will be here whenever Ladybug needs me the most, though, I will not be here for every akuma battle."

"And why is that?"

"Because I'm not from here. I was just visiting my friend," I answered in my cold tone, telling her that it would not be questioned further. She seemed to slightly deflate at the details.

"Yes, well, any more questions?" Chloe asked. The woman nodded, and continued asking different questions.

After a while, she asked about Marinette and me...as a couple. I tried my hardest not to blush, and Nadja picked it up. Marinette sent a weak glare her way, and she didn't ask any further questions. I wonder what that was about.

Soon after, we left towards the Eiffel Tower, where Marinette made a portal out of sight from bystanders. The three of us leaped into my room, Titus laying in my bed asleep.

Ok, I wanted to say that Marinette was blushing too, Damian was just too oblivious to see it.
