He smirks as he takes out Hawkmoth with the special power he has perfected over the years.  Then, he knocks out Alya with a huge blast as well.

              Marinette looks up at the sudden noise as Alya screams then passes out on the ground. She thinks what on earth is it?  She turns to see him and gasps.  She can not believe her eyes.

             "What brings you here?" Marinette asks.

            "Oh, do not worry, I knew you needed my help," He states.

          "Besides, what good would it do me to let you die?" He asks.

               "What are you going on about now?" Marinette asks him.

            "Look, I know you are Ladybug and I even know Chat's identity," He tells her.

                  Marinette raises an eyebrow at the mention of Chat Noir. She wonders what does Chat's identity has to do with any of this?  It is not like she knows it. She is not supposed to know it.  This was what she was told by Master Fu years ago when he entrusted her with the ladybug miraculous.   

               She knows the miraculous is long gone and her chances of getting it back and seeing Tikki again are low.  She does not think it is possible.  Not when she has not had them for six months already.  So, who does this stranger think he is to speak to her this way?

           "Have you forgotten me already, Marinette?"  He asks.

            "Forgotten you, how can I forget someone I have never met?" Marinette asks.

                "Whoa, you mean all it takes for you to not to remember me is this cheap mask and a ridiculous hoodie?  A hoodie I might add that I borrowed," He says.

                 Banana Noir groans, and rolls over.  He waits for the nurse to leave the room. He does not care what she says he can not just let Marinette fend for herself.  He would not be a great hero if he let her die.  He knows he lost his miraculous and kwami six months ago, but somehow he has the feeling he is not the only one.

                  He stands up, and against his better judgment, climbs out the window.  He runs with a limp to the area where he last saw her.  His mouth widens in surprise when he sees Hawkmoth out cold, with Alya next to him.  He never thought the reporter girl would stoop so low as to betray Marinette.

                 Marinette ignores the remarks the stranger makes and runs over to Hawkmoth. She pulls off his brooch.  As he detransforms she mutters,  "I th-thought so, but it is shame I was right all along."

                 She places the brooch in her pocket not sure how to proceed next. If she were ladybug she would send the police after him.  How can she explain her presence as a normal civilian though without blowing her cover?  Then, again with Hawkmoth down what does it matter?

                Banana Noir feels his jaw drop in surprise when he sees his father, behind the villain mask, the same crook he and Ladybug fought for years. He thought that explains a lot, but for once why did Ladybug have to be right?

                The stranger slowly removes the mask, then the hoodie and grins at Marinette and the guy in the banana suit. "So, what do you think?" He asks.

                "Luka, it was you the whole time!" Marinette blurts out.

                 "Man, that is some disguise you have there," Banana Noir remarks.

                      Marinette turns to the other hero, I suppose you know everything by now huh?

       "Well, if you mean that my father is Hawkmoth, then yes," He says. 

           "Your father, but that means you are..." Marinette begins.

                 Banana Noir removes the cheap costume so that now his regular clothes are seen. 

            "If you mean that I am Adrien Agreste, than yes spot on m'lady,"  He says.

               "M' lady?"  Marinette asks in surprise.

                  "Yes, I am or rather I was Chat Noir,"  Adrien says.

                     Marinette throws her arms and Adrien as Luka looks on with a look of approval.  As long as she is happy that is all that matters.  

                   Luka walks away with the knowledge that Adrien and Marinette are better together than apart. He knows that now. Somehow, he feels like he has always known.

                    Adrien hugs Marinette in return. Then, she releases him for a short moment.

           "bye, bye little butterfly !" Marinette says as she lets go of the small akuma she found after Alya was knocked out by Luka.  She then picks up a small item from the ground and tosses it into the air. 

          "Miraculous Ladybug!"  She calls out.

             Marinette hears another voice join in with her and grins.  She looks up to see Alya standing there with a hand over her forehead.

              "GIrl, you would not believe the horrid headache I have now," Alya says.

                 "Wow, Adrien is here too, nice," Alya says with a grin.

                     "Yes, well turns out he is Banana Noir," Marinette states.

                      "Oh, and I suppose that makes you Ladybug, right?"  Alya asks.

             "Yes, or so I was long ago,"  Marinette says sadly.

    "Marinette, Adrien, Alya, thank goodness you are okay?"  A small faint voice says.

         "Tikki, is that you?"  Marinette asks.

              "Yes, but Plagg here needs help," Tikki says with tears in her eyes.

                  "Plagg, you mean he is there with you?" Adrien asks. 

        "Yes, but he is badly hurt," Tikki explains.

        "Then, we have no time to lose," Adrien says.

          "Yes, you are right," Marinette says.

            "Tikki, bring Plagg here," Marinette tells her.

                Tikki smiles, as she carries Plagg over to Marinette and sets him down at her feet.  She looks sad as she watches Marinette do her thing.

              Adrien does not say a word.  He is surprised as much as the rest of them that Tikki and Plagg are back.  This means the miraculous must be back too, then.

             Plagg coughs then they hear a sneeze, coughs one more time, then sits up with a smirk.    "Where is my cheese?  I want my Camembert!"  He says.     

                "Good as new I see, stinky sock," Tikki teases him.

                 "Yes, what of it, sugarcube?"  Plagg teases her.

                     Marinette giggles.  Adrien laughs too.

                        "What is so funny?" Alya asks with her hands on her hips.

             "It is just now I know where you got all those puns from along with your flirty behavior as both Chat Noir and Banana Noir," Marinette says to Adrien.

             "Oh, and where might that be Bugaboo?" Adrien asks with a grin.

             "From Plagg,"  Marinette states.

                    "Nah, I am perfectly feline on my own, Buganette," Adrien remarks.

                        Marinette makes a funny groan noise to show her disapproval at once while Alya laughs this time.  Alya makes her quick exit though to give those two some alone time, somehow she believes they need it.

                     "Did it you mean it?" Adrien asks.

                 "Mean, what Agreste?"  Marinette asks.

                "Oh, what you said about loving me as Banana Noir, and Chat and not being to live without me?" He asks.

                   "Yes, and I love you as Adrien too," Marinette says.

                     "Great, because I love you as Bikerboo, Ladybug, Marinette, and whoever else you happen to be in your lifetime and mine,"  Adrien says.

                     "Wow, Adrien that has got to be the sweetest and cheesiest confession ever," Marinette says.

                   "But ha, I will take what I can get,"  She remarks.

                      Adrien smiles, leans in and kisses her.  Marinette kisses him in return and feels like sparkes fly as her dream comes true at last.  

                    Marinette and Adrien are both glad Hawkmoth is defeated so they no longer have to hide from each other or the world.  They still have special powers as civilians and since they have the kwami's back this could only mean one thing.  They are heroes no matter what form they take on.

                  Marinette runs towards her place with Adrien hot on her trail.  They both make it there in no time.  Adrien limps though and Marinette notices. She insists he relaxes a bit.  She opens the Miraculous box, places the moth miraculous inside, and says,  "One down and one left to find."

            "Oh, you mean this?" Adrien asks as he hands her the peacock miraculous.

             "Yes, but where did you find it?"  Marinette asks.

               "It was near the front door when I left the house earlier today," Adrien says.

               "Hmm, that is odd,"  Marinette says. She places the peacock miraculous in the box along with black cat ring that Plagg found and gave to her, and the earrings she once wore, but no longer needs for now. 

             She seals the box and hides it for safekeeping.  She figures one can never be too sure when it comes to such things.

                Adrien and Marinette begin to date as Adrienette, and on some rare occasions can be seen as Ladynoir, Marichat or Ladrien, or Banananette, or other combinations.  Mostly, they are together as Adrienette due to the defeat of the villains, and the Miraculous no longer needed to be out in circulation.

              As for Alya well she made up with Nino went to the country he was in with some help from important friends of hers, and now she is engaged to Nino!  Alya says,  "Thanks to Ladybug and Chat Noir, I have my happy ending at last."

        Gabriel Agreste spent some time in prison for his crimes as Hawkmoth, and when he was let out years later on parol, he found himself to be good at art and became a well-known artist. He also, let go of his dead wife, and she got a proper burial.  He moved on in the area of love and settled down with Natalie.  This is to say he married Natalie and they are ever so happy together.

      Luka meets a nice girl, and they begin to date.  He told her all sorts of stories about Viperon, Ladybug, Chat Noir, and all the other former heroes and villains alike in Paris, France. She thought they were all great and considered doing a book about them.  Then, again she thought why bother?  No one would believe it anyway.  

       the end...
