Thus, Adrien and Marinette started studying together, and Adrien's room began to feel more lived in as he tended to encourage Marinette to stay and finish her work, so, she started to stay. Quick to disappear though if an Akuma attacked. Adrien didn't notice as he too was trying to leave quickly.

Ladybug and Chat Noir eventually did have the Avenger conversation and Ladybug explained what happened the night Chat thought he overheard her confession to Spiderman.

"So, you were role playing to tell me that you love me?" Chat asked.

"Yeah, it seems silly now though," she smiled at her situation.

"Why's that My lady?" Chat asked tilting his head to the side.

"I am in a relationship, but it is confusing." Ladybug said, wringing her hands as she looked off to the distant Parisian skyline.

"Tell me about it." Chat said, agreeing with her as he leant back and looked up at the stars, "What I mean to say is I understand. I am dating someone as me, but I want her as my real-life girlfriend, yet the closest I seem to get is studying with her."

Marinette put all the pieces together in a flash. She knew it wasn't intentional, but Chat had literally just told her who he was. He didn't know that he was dating her, as Chat. It explained so many things like his accidental slips at school and when they were studying.

"Adrien!" Marinette murmured, wrapping her arm around her leg that she had raised up when  she was thinking about who Chat was. She looked at him incredulity, "You're Adrien, how was I so blind?...I hope that you don't hate me for this.... but... spots off."

"Marinette? You're Marinette? Claws in," Adrien said astonished at her proclamation, while feeling silly for missing who Ladybug was, "How did I miss this? God, I feel stupid."

"If it makes you feel any better, I feel the same way." Marinette comforted him, reaching over to touch his leg in comfort.

The pair look at each other then, and laughed. 

"Shall we go home and finish our conversation there?" Marinette asked hopefully.

"Yes, let's go. Home is way more comfortable than here. My Lady" Adrien said, agreeing with her, he honestly thought of Marinette's place as home and his home a torture chamber, a very luxurious one, but one nonetheless, "Plagg claws out!" he said getting up from where they had been sitting.

Marinette followed suit, "Tikki spots on!"

And the pair headed back to Marinette's room.

"I'm glad it's you, Princess" said Chat, as they stopped on the way to look at a view from one of the Parisian rooftops.

"Why?" Marinette tilted her head in interest.

"Because now I have both my loves...I don't feel guilty at all." Adrian smiled

"Silly kitty, but it is the same for me. Now what are we going to choose. Will we work the backup crew of the backup crew or not help at all?"

"I think that we both know the answer to that." Adrien said, "Pass it here."

Marinette pulls his badge out of her yo-yo and passed it to Adrien. He then put the Avenger badge into his baton. It was lucky for them that they had stopped before they arrived home on that particular spot on the roof,and that they were still in their suits, as next minute Iron Man was there. Flying in from what appeared to be nowhere.

"So, what did you decide Ladybug and Chat Noir, will you become alternate Avengers?" Tony asked, opening his helmet.

"We will," they replied without hesitation.

"Good! Welcome to the team," said Tony Stark, "By the way, where are your badges?"

"Mine is in my Yo-yo and Chats his baton." Ladybug replied, indicating the two items, holding them.

"Is there anything special about where they are stored?" Tony's curiosity evident in the question.

"It's a pocket dimension so probably." Marinette replied with a crease forming between her eyebrows as she thought about it.

"I see, that explains it." Tony agreed with her before asking, "Are you sure that if a message is sent that you will receive it storing it there."

"I don't see why not. Did you want to try?" Marinette thought as her phone worked as usual when she was Ladybug and it disappeared altogether when she transformed.

"I think I will," and Iron Man landed next to the pair, as he spoke into his helmet, instructing, "Jarvis, send a help request to Ladybug and Chat Noir!"

"Yes sir, message sent!" responded Jarvis's robotic voice.

The next thing that happened was Ladybugs yo-yo and Chats baton went off. They pulled out their badges and received the message.

"Well, it works!" Tony stated, impressed, his concern eased, "That's a relief. Now who are you. As an Avenger we are required to know the civilian identity in case something happens to them."

"We aren't allowed to disclose that. It's part of the miraculous conditions. If someone other than the box holder knows all the miraculous have to be returned. If we told you, there would be no Ladybug and Chat Noir. I hope you do understand." Ladybug said, her eyes pleading for his understanding.

Tony looked like he was about to argue, but thought better of it, "I get it, I think it's stupid though. Though Superman is the same - all jacked up on not telling us who he is. If he wasn't who he is I would be worried. Anyway, you sound awfully young to be superheroes. How old are you?"

"17, we've been doing this since we were 13 though."

"Is there a relationship between you two?" Tony asked in his abrupt way.

Ladybug and Chat had a silent eye conversation with each other before Chat broke eye contact and finally answered the question, "We can't answer that."

"So, you're basically saying it's none of my business?" Tony ascertained their reply.

"Basically, but what we can say is we work together we are hopeless without the other." Ladybug continued.

"Spider-Man said as much," Tony said, suddenly disinterested and anxious to wrap things up and get back to Pepper, "Anyway, welcome to the team, if you need anything call. You do get a wage as part of the team and a health plan. Since you won't disclose your personal information you will need to call to access it. That information will be on your welcome pack part of the badge. Well see you around." And Tony closed his mask and flew off as Iron Man.

"Well, I didn't expect that" Ladybug said, looking after the flying suit.

"Yeah, gives us a lot to think about hey?"  Chat agreed.

"Chat, I don't think you should stay tonight. I need to process everything," Ladybug requested looking at him, so he knew it was just as what she was saying.

"That's fine My Lady. I was about to ask the same thing." Chat Noir said as he gave Ladybug a hug and kiss goodbye, "See you tomorrow!" He smiled.

"Ahhh, sure, see you tomorrow." Ladybug replied a little dazed as she was thinking over everything that happened - being Adrien Agreste's actual girlfriend, and Ladybug and Chat Noir now being responsible for the world not just Paris... scary thought... not to mention that she had actually been sleeping with the two loves of her life - Chat and Adrien.

Chat Noir on his part was exactly the same but in reverse, it was a little difficult coming to terms with his beloved Marinette, who he had been sleeping with, was also his Ladybug- though for him there was very little difference between saving Paris or saving the world. As long as he was with his Lady, he was happy. With that last thought he arrived to his actual home and wondered if leaving to think things through was such a good idea, as he liked and preferred sleeping with his Lady and Princess - Marinette.

Adrien and Marinette both de-transformed at their respective homes and fell asleep dreaming of the other. Marinette woke up super early as she didn't sleep as well as she had with Adrien/Chat, she was disturbed by her dreams, so, she decided to check the miracle ball she had now hidden in her room. She was thankful it was still safe. It was then she realised that she hadn't lost her shirt in her sleep that night. And she wondered at it. It was only 530 in the morning.
