Alya was worried.

She hadn't seen Marinette for days. Adrien too.

She had asked Nino if he had seen them but he had just shook his head, but he had said that maybe Adrien's father wanted him at home for the time being because of the recent events so Alya decided to forget about Adrien for the time being. 

But she had also asked Marinette's parents if they knew where she was and they too were worried about her but they didn't know where she was.

They all agreed to search for her, hoping to find her.

No such luck.

But the strange thing was, when Marinette wasn't around the seven new kids weren't around too.

And Alya had a very bad feeling that her best friends disappearance had to do with those seven teenagers.

........................................................................................................................................................

Marinette was shocked.

What does Master Fu mean by he's a half-elf, half-human? Elves aren't even real. And Sophie Foster is in there? Does that mean Alya's theory was correct? What does that even mean?

Marinette's mind was in a blur, her mind was filled with so many thoughts that she couldn't take it anymore, she fell to the ground with a loud thud.

................................................................................................................................................................

"Let's go then, shall we? I'm sure that Marinette must be waiting for us."Master Fu said.

"Yup, let's g-""Master! Master!! Marinette....She-She..."Tikki shouted, bursting into the room, interrupting Sophie.

"What's happening Tikki? What happened to Marinette?"Master Fu asked, he charged out of the room, and saw Marinette on the floor, unconscious.

"What happened? Why is she unconscious?"Master Fu asked.

"She was curious to know what you guys were talking about....so she decided to listen to your conversation. I'm sorry! I tried to stop her, but she resisted!!"Tikki cried, burying her tiny hands into her head.

Master Fu's eyes darkened, he rushed outside and saw Marinette's unconscious body, he quickly lifted her up and placed her onto one of his mattresses.

Everyone was silent as Master Fu waved a bottle around Marinette's nose and a few secounds later, Marinette coughed and wheezed, fanning her hand in front of her face, everyone quickly pulled up their hoods.

"So-So smelly!!!"Marinette said, as she coughed.

"Why were you listening to our conversation? "Master Fu asked, his eyes still dark.

Marinette looked at him,"I-I needed to make sure you weren't were going to get hurt....I didn't think that I would find out about-about your past and that Sophie is one of you guys. Plus I'm assuming that the rest of the group is also there too, right?"

Sophie and the others looked at each other, Sophie then thought for a moment, then she pulled down her hood and signaled the others to do the same. One by one, they each pulled down their hoods, revealing their identities.

"Yes, I'm Sophie."Sophie said.

"Why did you hide? And why did you say something about elves?"Marinette asked.

Sophie was about to answer, until Master Fu interrupted,"We'll explain later. For now, we need to save your friend. Come, I will make the antidote. Oh, and Marinette? Promise me this, never, and I say never eavesdrop on other people's conversations again. There will be serious consequences."

Marinette gulped and nodded.

Master Fu smiled, he then walked over to a nearby cupboard and opened it, taking out a few ingredients. 

He then mixed up the ingredients, put them into a bottle and turned to them, saying," Okay, I'm done. Let's go. "

............................................................. 

"Finally! You're here, both Chat Noir's and his kwami's condition has worsened." Elwin shouted. 

"We had a few slip ups, but otherwise, we're fine. Here, feed half of th e bottle to Chat Noir and the other half to Plagg, his kwami." Master Fu said, handing the bottle to Elwin. 

Elwin nodded and rushed over to Chat Noir's room. 

As they waited, Master Fu and Mr. Forkle exchanged hugs, Master Fu also said he was sorry for Mr. Forkle's brother. 

Mr. Forkle shook his head," No need to say sorry, what's done is done. No need to say sorry, now, what happened just now?Marinette doesn't look so surprised even when you guys are exposed." 

Master Fu sighed, "As I said, we had a few slip ups. We-" but before he could finish, Elwin came rushing in. 

"It-Its working.... I can't believe it. Both of them have their colour returning to their faces. What is the recipe for this remedy? I need to write it down!" he took out a notebook. 

Master Fu smiled, "It's made from honey, cheese...." he continued naming them as Elwin jotted it down. 

"Before we go in, can I ask a quick question? Master Fu said that you guys were elves and he was a half-elf, what does that mean?" Marinette asked. 

Mr. Forkle narrowed his eyes at Master Fu, "We will talk with you and Chat Noir about that now, don't worry, though he isn't allowed to transform yet, we gave him a hood so you can't see him. I suggest you all where a hood too, so that Chat Noir doesn't know your identity yet. "

He then handed a black hood to Marinette and she and the seven wore them. 

All of them stepped into the room, Chat Noir wore the hood, just like what Mr. Forkle had said. 

"Hi... Are you feeling all right?" Marinette blurted out. 

Adrien blushed under his hood. But he still nodded.

Marinette then turned over to Mr. Forkle, "So are you going to answer my question or not?"

Mr. Forkle sighed, "Promise me you won't get too overwhelmed by this. Both if you."

Both Adrien and Marinette nodded.

Mr. Forkle nodded, he then explained everything from top to bottom, how they all met, the Neverseen, their organization, the Black Swan, the Council, how everything is doing now, how they found Marinette and Adrien( of course not including their real names) and decided to help them and everything else, including the elves rocky history with humans.

After he finished, Marinette sucked in a deep breath," Woah, that must have been tough for all of you. I mean, fighting for about six years? That's a lot. Chat Noir and I will help you fight. But don't you have to show him something?"she said to the seven.

Sophie nodded, she turned to Adrien, pulled down her hood and said, "Chat Noir, my name is Sophie. I'm sure we have met before."She then told the other six to pull down their hoods.

Adrien was shocked. Sure, maybe the elf stuff was real, but Sophie Foster in front of him? No way.

Sophie noticed his shocked expression, "Don't worry, I'm really Sophie."

"Yep, its our Lady Fos-Boss here." Keefe said, draping his arm around Sophie who blushed.

As Keefe said that, Adrien knew that he was speaking to the Sophie that he knew. Only Keefe called her that.

Marinette frowned as she wondered how Sophie and Adrien had met each other.

She frowned again when she thought of a bigger problem. A much, much bigger one.

Suddenly, she lit up, she finally knew how to solve her problem. It wasn't really what she wanted, but she knew that if she didn't do it, they would all end up losing against the Neverseen group.

"Hey, I need another favour. Is that all right?" Marinette asked.

"Yeah. If I can do it. What is it?" Sophie asked.

Marinette looked nervous, "Well....actually, its a favour from everybody. Especially Chat Noir. I...want both of us to....reveal our identities to each other."
