Jack frowned as he listened to the other teen talk to himself. Was he actually a Decepticon spy? He would get rid of him before he did something to hurt them. He pressed himself against the wall as he waited.

Adrien sighed forcefully as he held the kwami in his hands. He didn't see anything to help his friend. He set his ear against the door and didn't hear anything. He hesitantly gripped the doorknob and slowly opened it. He didn't see anyone and slowly came out.

"I'm sure there's a kitchen somewhere... at least I hope." He mumbled as he left the room and started down the hall.

"You don't look like a Decepticon spy." Jack said and the other boy whipped around as he looked at him.

"Uh... uh what?" He asked nervously as he stared at him. "I'm not a... Decepticon spy. What's a Decepticon?" He said. Jack raised an eyebrow and walked over to him.

"So spill it. Who are you?" He asked as he glared darkly. Adrien sighed shakily and looked at the now sleeping kwami.

"I need some food... then I'll explain." He said seriously. Jack stared at him for a while then nodded slowly and led him down the hall. They got to the kitchen and Jack let him look around.

"You aren't a spy then." He said as the blonde looked around for some food. He tried giving some to the little cat in his hand, who woke up. It didn't seem interested and was being dramatic.

"I don't have time for this." Adrien hissed angrily at the little cat.

"Oh... so weak... can't make it... without cheese..." he said and peaked an eye open then flopped in his hand.

"Plagg." Adrien hissed quietly and gave him a look. Jack slowly walked over and pieced a few things together.

"That thing looks like your cat suit. Is it... the source of your power?" He asked and Adrien tensed a little.

"He's a lot smarter and more observant than some people." Plagg said as he rolled his eyes.

"You aren't helping." The boy grumbled and Jack raised an eyebrow.

"If you can't tell me that's fine. I just want to make sure you aren't going to harm this team." Jack said seriously. Adrien looked at him then nodded quickly.

"Thanks for understanding." He said as he smiled a little. "Just don't tell anyone... especially Ladybug." He mumbled.

"She doesn't know your secret identity?" He asked slightly surprised. The blonde shook his head slowly.

"No... I want to keep it that way... I don't think she'd like someone... well like me. I'm more interesting as... Chat Noir." He mumbled. Jack watched him then nodded slowly.

"I won't tell anyone. I promise." He said as he cracked a smile. "Now let's get your... um... cat thing something to eat." He said awkwardly. Plagg glared at him but didn't say anything. Not in the mood to argue.

Ladybug wondered what the leader meant by that. Protection from what? She looked at the three bots that were talking quietly too each other. She sighed shakily and shook her head then went to sit on the couch. She set her chin in her hand as she crossed her legs. Miko flopped by her side and grinned excitedly.

"What are your super powers? Do you like being a hero? Where did you say you were from? What's your secret identity? Do you work all the time or just sometimes? Do you know karate? Do you cook?" She asked quickly. Ladybug just stared at her blankly and smiled nervously.

Who was this girl?

Raf stared at the strange teen that sat in a corner by himself. He wanted to try and make him feel better, but he was a bit scary looking. He sighed forcefully and went back to his homework.

Dark Portal just stared at nothing in particular as he sat in the corner. He was hugging his knees to his chest as he listened. He couldn't hear Hawk Moth anymore and he wasn't exactly sure how to feel about it. He sighed forcefully and buried his face in his arms. He didn't know what to do with himself. He wanted to talk to someone but no one wanted to be around him. That was fine.

A few hours went by and Optimus came back from his patrol. He looked at the humans and saw the cat was with them again. He glanced at the three bots who weren't exactly sure what to do. He walked over and everyone fell silent. He glanced at each human then each of the bots.

"Are you able to return home?" The Prime asked as he looked at the two superheroes.

"I honestly have no idea. You'd have to ask Ben." Noir said as he folded his arms. They could tell he wasn't too happy about this.

Optimus looked to the corner where the young man was. He didn't respond or indicate he heard them. The Prime could tell he would need to be worked with.

"Smokescreen." Optimus said seriously and looked at him. "You will watch over Chat Noir." He muttered.

"What?!" Both of them said and glared at each other. "No." They both mumbled. Optimus raised an optic ridge and looked at the young woman.

"Wheeljack will be assigned to watch over Ladybug." He instructed.

"Alright." The wrecker smirked cockily and winked at her.

"Uh... can I have a second opinion?" She asked nervously. Optimus didn't say anything and looked at Magnus.

"You will be in charge of Benjamin." He said seriously. Ultra Magnus furrowed his optic ridges and glanced at the boy then at him.

"May I speak to you in private, sir." He said just as seriously. Optimus glanced at him then nodded once and they walked off.

"What's wrong?" The Prime asked as they made it out of ear shot of the others.

"Sir, I don't think I should be a guardian. It would prevent me from doing my work properly." He said. Optimus paused and looked at him.

"Are you saying that this task is too difficult for you?" He asked as he raised an optic ridge. Ultra Magnus blinked in surprise then stood straighter.

"No task is too difficult for me, sir." He said seriously. "I can accomplish any mission or assignment you give me." He replied. Optimus stared at him intently as if deciding whether or not he was being truthful.

"Then this shouldn't be too hard for you." He said as a ghost of a smile appeared on his faceplate. "You simply need to watch him, and help his confidence grow. Then they can go back to their world." He said gently and gripped his shoulder plate.

Magnus nodded slowly and watched the Prime walk off. He hoped he could whip this soldier into shape.
