🚨Swearing

"So what's the plan?" Tartaruga asked Ladybeetle, unlike most of the other heroes, he was conscious of the fact that the gang are just support for the ladybug themed hero and honestly, he was fine being a sidekick.

"We..." Ladybeetle hesitated, he didn't have a plan.

Night Noir looked at Ladybeetle, waiting for a plan but when they didn't receive one he came up with a plan of his own. "We learn her powers, learning her strengths is a place to start."

Peafowl nodded, "Got it."

Ladybeetle started panicking, "Peafowl wait-" but it was too late. The light pink-haired superhero with dark will highlights rushed into action, a plan forming in her mind as she goes. Honeybee rolled her dark brown eyes, way to go boss.

"Come get me, Mary Beth!" Peafowl teased as she waved her hand fan, a smirk on their face. The blonde-haired akuma turned to face Peafowl, her grey suit matching Peafowl's eyes.

Tartaruga facepalm, "Pinkie's going to get theirself killed."

"It's Hersay!" The akumatized villain yelled as the gang practically saw steam pouring out of her.

"Yeah, whatever- amokization!" Peafowl grabbed a feather from their hand fan and used their powers to make an amokizated feather, "I hope this works-" Peafowl opened their hand as a large semimonster appeared in front of them, forming from nothing but dark blue bubbles coming from their miraculous, she smiled, it happened to like their kwami said it would. "Ha- I didn't know what was going to work!"

Honeybee rolled her eyes, she was unimpressed like the rest of the group who all were practically gobsmacked, "Cool your powers work, ours does too, it's nothing special."

"You don't need to be such a bitch."

Renard bounced, from years of being friends with Lee he could tell when a fight was on its way, "Oh shit-"

"Children!" Night Noir remaindered the three about the last time they spoke of swearing, children look up to them now, they're superheroes.

Ladybeetle was watching akuma fight Peafowl's semimonster, Ladybeetle knows that the new Hawkmoth is the enemy but he couldn't help but feel bad for them, like- this akuma doesn't even seem to have any powers. Peafowl's semimonster is a kangaroo, Ladybeetle tried not to laugh as the semi-kangaroo stood on its two hindlimbs and had its two front limbs out throwing punches at the akuma, as Ladybeetle looked at Peafowl, the boy could tell she was enjoying their powers as well. "Something about this is wrong..."

"What do you mean?" The ladybug themed hero's partner asked. Night Noir had seen anything odd or wrong, sure a fighting kangaroo is an odd sight but from what his cousin's boyfriend has told him it's actually a common sight, a kangaroo fighting an akuma- not so much but at the end of the day, the boy's ring turns him into a cat-themed superhero with the power of destruction everything is odd.

"I'm not sure..." Ladybeetle grabbed his yo-yo, trying to block out the sound of the bee, fox and peacock themed hero's argument, "Tikki, help me out. Lucky Charm!"

Night Noir titled his head, his dark black hair falling out of its neat do, "A 장갑?"

Ladybeetle didn't need to know Korean to understand that his partner was questioning his superpower, he was too, "A glove? Tikki what am I might to do with a glove?!" Obviously, he got no reply, Ladybeetle put the glove on his left hand, fidgeting and playing with it as he watched Peafowl, The Semikangroo and Hersay fight. "Hersay is wearing a glove but she's not wearing any of her other jewellery or normal accessories."

"How do you know Mary Beth normally wears jewellery?" Night Noir asked suspiciously, Ladybeetle cringed, oh shit, he's been caught.

He hated what he said next- "Because... she's a blonde teenage girl and- wait? How do you know she doesn't wear jewellery?" After the cat-themed hero went silent Ladybeetle spoke his thought, "I think her glove is where her miraculous is-"

Beep beep. Peafowl looked at their brooch, "Guys, I'm about to turn back!"

While Peafowl was distracted Hersay saw this as her opportunity to win, she jumped only of Peafowl and whispered in their ear, "I heard a nasty little rumour that your teammates don't respect you, that Ladybeetle and Night Noir don't respect you."

Renard ran up to Hersay and pushed her off Peafowl, "You should leave before you transform back and we'll be stuffed."

Peafowl crossed their arms, "Why? You're not the boss of me!" The fox themed superhero looked at Peafowl with a face of pure shock, was she seriously being so stupid right now?

"Do you want all of Sydney to know your identity?!" Peafowl let out an exasperated sigh and leapt away.

"Ladybeetle... I know her power-" He looked at his partner, mentally kicking himself in the face for not realising it sooner, "Her power is hearsay, rumours, manipulation. Hersay- Her name is a pun!"

"How do you know that?" Beep beep, "My five minutes is up, I need to go somewhere before I detransform but so listen closely~"

"Oi! Blondie! Over here!" Renard cheered as him and Tartaruga lored the akumatized villain to where Night told them to do.

Tartaruga laughed teasingly, "She's so slow! This is getting embarrassing."

The two boys looked around, this is where Night said to go, where are he and Honeybee?

"Honeybee, can you paralyse her?"

The girl in the yellow suit crossed her arms, "Why can't just do it? We're all clearly just your and Ladybeetle's sidekicks, history repeating itself all over again."

Night Noir didn't understand why she was thinking this way, did he or Ladybeetle say something to offend the younger girl? He doesn't remember saying anything hurtful or entitled of these feelings. He sighed, later Lb and him can talk to Honeybee about this but right now they need to save Sydney. "Honeybee please-"

"No."

Ladybeetle had detransformed, given Tikki a small cookie and transformed and was now ready to see if Night successfully followed his steps. Watching Honeybee refuse to use her special power he realised something- Honeybee knew about the akuma before all of them, she knew about the akumas identity, her reason for being akumatized, things you could only logically know, if she was there. He gasped as the realisation became clear in his mind, "Night! Honeybee is under Hersay's manipulation!" He grabbed his yo-yo and wrapped Honeybee up in it, making sure that she wasn't going to screw up their plan, though honestly, Ladybeetle knew the plan was already going south.

"That's Hersay's endgame, to affect all of us so that we can't work together as a team because we'll be too paranoid to trust eachother, that's just she is only going after us!"

"She also went after Aja Laghari, Freddie Smith and Arabella Mae," true, Ladybeetle thought but they deserved it so... oh well.

"Let me out!" Honeybee demanded, trying to wiggle her way out of the magical yo-yo.

The two ignored her, "Night, can you call Tartaruga and ask him to come and look after Honeybee? Meanwhile, I'll start finding a way to finish the plan without the bee miraculous' venom. Lucky charm! Handcuffs?"

"What are you going to do with those? Handcuff her to a bench?"

"That actually might work!"

"Wait- what?"

[ timeskip cuz im tired lol ]

"Ladybeetle, back again from your nap?" Hersay asked, both disgust and humour in her voice, "Come here, I'll tell you what your teammates here truly think about you."

Ladybeetle subtlety nodded to Renard, telling him it was his cue to use his mirage.

Ladybeetle or more like an illusion mixed with the reality of him approached Hersay, he tried staying as in line with the illusion as he possibly could, the handcuffs in his hands ready to be full.

"Ladybeetle, don't do this!" The illusion of Night called from the background, making the scene just a touch more dramatic and realistic.

"Shut it catboy! Your turn will be next. I heard a nasty little rumour~" but before she could finish that sentence the cuffs latched onto her and a stadium chair behind her, forcing her there.

"Cataclysm!" The real Night Noir called, Hersay's eyes widened when she realised that he was actually behind her the whole time. He lightly touched her akumatized glove, it turning into dust as an akuma flew out of it.

Ladybeetle caught the butterfly with the yo-yo, "Miraculous Ladybug!" He threw the handcuffs in the air and all of the damages were luckily fixed, Peafowl and Honeybee probably turning back to themselves.

"Ladybeetle, Night Noir, Renard? What happened? Why am I at the stadium?"

"You were akumatized Mary Beth, but it's okay, you're okay now," Ladybeetle gave the blonde girl a reassuring smile.

"Night!" The four turned as they heard their youngest teammates' voice, "Night Noir I'm so sorry, I said horrible things to you, to all of you, I'm so sorry."

He shooked his head, "It's okay Honey, you weren't thinking straight."

"I'm never thinking straight," she joked, causing the group to break into laughs, Honeybee smiled, this is what it feels like to have friends.
