Ladybug  wakes up and takes a look around her.  She sees Adrien in  a similar bed to the one she finds herself in right now. She sees that his eyes are not open. She thinks, wait, how did I get here?   For that matter, where is here?  What about him?  Why is Adrien silent and still?   What could it all mean?

       "Girl, thank goodness you are all right!"  Alya says.

       "Alya, why are you here?"  Ladybug says.

       "Why I am I here, are you kidding me?  I find out from the news that the heroine of Paris is hurt and inside the hospital and you ask me why I am here?  I came to check up on you." Alya says.

    "Yes, and I might add she insist I have to tag along, so here I am as well."  Nino says.

    "Wait, Nino is that really you?"  Ladybug ask.

   "Yes, dudette!  Who else could I be?" Nino answers.

   "Nino, must you be so cruel to her?   She has to been through a lot you know."  Alya says.

    "What about him?  What about Adrien?  Why is he here too?"  Ladybug wants to know.

   "Oh, I can answer that easily.  You see the news lady says you were brought her by Adrien Agreste.  Apparently he saw you collapse, so he picks you up and carries you here!  Then, once he enters the place he passes out with you still in his arms."  Alya says.

    "What?  I was held by Adrien?"  Ladybug says. She pretends to be in shock that he would dare to do something so bold.  Yet in reality she knows he would do anything for her as she is his girlfriend after all.

    "Yes, that is what I just said."  Alya says.

   "Is he okay?"  Ladybug ask.

      "Well, I am not really sure. The doctors have not told us anything about his condition.  All they would say is he appears to be hurt and worn out.  They think he might be emotionally and mentally in shock too, what with his father being taken away by the police and all."  Nino says.

        "The police arrest his father, whoa!  Wait, just a minute, why would they do such a thing?"  Ladybug ask.

       "I can answer that Ladybug!"  Chloe says shortly after she enters the room.

       "Chloe, thank goodness!  I thought for sure Hawkmoth got to you!"  Ladybug exclaims.

        "No, I am tough as ever.  Anyway, in answer to your question, the police took Gabriel Agreste away because he is Hawkmoth!"  Chloe remarks.

       "What?  What?   This is not  real, is it?"  Ladybug says in pure and utter surprise.

       "Yes,it sure is young lady."  Chloe says.

           Adrien wakes up next.  He looks around him, sees the other bed with Ladybug on it, along with Alya, Nino and Chloe.  He thinks, the last thing I remember is my father is the one who was Hawkmoth the entire time,and I brought Ladybug here because he hurt her.  He sighs a sigh of relief that she is not dead.  He is glad she is all right.  He  does not know what he would do without her.

         "Ladybug w-what happened?"  Adrien ask.

        "I  was in battle against Hawkmoth when he came out of nowhere, then you try to help me, he attacks again, I get hurt and pass out.  Next thing I know I wake up here."  Ladybug says.

        "So, you do remember!  Thank goodness!"  Adrien says.

         "Dude, you are awake!" Nino remarks.

         "Everyone can see that Nino."  Chloe retorts.

         "Chloe is right, we can see this just fine for ourselves."  Alya says.

            "Ladybug, I thought for sure you would die and I would not be able to cope."  Adrien says.

            "Adrien, it is okay!  I will be just fine."  Ladybug says.

         "She is right, the doctor says she is fortunate the deep cut only got her skin, and not a blood vessel, or artery."  Alya  tells them.

         "You mean to tell me, I was all  upset over  a minor injury?"  Adrien says.

      Nino says, "Yes, dude it is certainly appears that way. I cannot say I blame you though. If something were to happen to Alya, I would probably freak out too.  So, the reaction you gave was normal."  

     "You know I still think it strange no one saw behind the whole shard that Gabriel Agreste put up.  I mean how did we not see he was Hawkmoth, sooner?"   Chloe remarks.

     "Chloe, why do you sound so familiar?"  Ladybug ask.

      "What do you mean,Ladybug?   I am just the same old, drab, Chloe Bougerious as always."  Chloe says.

     "I mean you really remind me of someone.  Wait, just a minute!  You are her!  You are Queen Bee!"  Ladybug blurts out.

     "What she is Queen Bee?"  Alya, Nino and Adrien says at the same time.

      "Yes, fine, so you expose me!  It is fine. I am Hawkmoth is behind bars, so yeah, it is fine."  Chloe says.

       "Wow, you do not deny it, do you girl?"  Alya says.

      "No, should I?"  Chloe ask.

      "I suppose not. Oh, and I am Rena and he is Carpace,"  Alya says as she points right at Nino.

       "Nino is Carpace and you are Rena?"  Chole and Adrien says in surprise.

        "Yes, well I already knew this since I was the one to select them to help a few times in the past."  Ladybug says.

           "So, other than Chat Noir and you we know everyone's real names.  "  Chloe says.

       "She is right you know."  Alya says.

        "Uh, well you see the thing is I need to talk to Ladybug on my own."  Adrien says.

         "Okay, fine be that way lover boy!"  Alya says. She smirks, when he blushes, grabs Nino's arm and exits the room.

        Chloe follows close behind them so as to give Ladybug and Adrien some alone time.  She figures why not, after all if she has to have someone else date Adrien, Ladybug is the best choice ever right?
    

     Now that they are alone again, Ladybug says to Adrien,  "Adrien why did you put yourself at risk like that anyway?  You could have been killed!"  

      "you could have too, you know!" Adrien says.

       "I know, but its my job to keep people safe as the heroine of Paris. "  Ladybug says.

       "I am sorry, Bugaboo, but I could not let you down. I had to help you. "  Adrien says.

         "What?  You are Chat!"  Ladybug says as her jaws drops.

       "yes, that is me!  Glad you finally recognize me,  m'lady!" Adrien says.

            Ladybug smiles, reaches over and grabs his hand.  Adrien smiles in return and squeezes her hand.  Together they think, how did Hawkmoth find them earlier, and what do they do next?
