*this chapter has blood reference* Alya's POV:
Trying to cut out a picture of Tigerlily while trying not to get caught in class isn't that easy. "I'm very pleased with how you all did on your last assignment. Some of you have really stepped up, and I do appreciate it. Now it's time to move on to our next assignment." Miss Bustier says. I look up to see Chloé, pointing at Miss Bustier. Miss Bustier is looking at me. "Is Marinette still in the girls' room?" "Uh, I don't know, miss." I reply, then the bell rings.
"Tonight I want you all to read chapter three of the breathtaking France, the First Thousand Years. Then, answer this simple questionnaire." Miss Bustier says and gives two to me. "See to it that Y/N receives her homework." I nod and leave the room.
I try to call Y/N but she doesn't pick up. ' Hi, this is Y/N. Leave a message! hehe' Then I go to the bathroom to see if she's in there. "Y/N?" I ask. no response. I leave the bathroom looking for Y/N. I look over to my left to see Rose and Juleka. "Uhh, have you guys seen Y/N anywhere?" I ask. Rose and Juleka shake their heads no. I decide to go check the locker room, As I enter I see Chloe taking a Tigerlily suit and bow out of her locker. I gasp and whisper, "Chloe's Tigerlily?"
I walk outside the school to see Chloé boarding her limousine, I follow her. I try to ring Y/N again. "Hey, Y/N. Ring me ASAP. We gotta talk." I hang up and see Nino. "Nino, wait!" I yell to him. "Yeah?" He asks. "Come with me, I need your help!" I tell him. "So--" Nino starts but I shush him. I try to call Y/N again, but "Hi, this is Y/N, leave a message! He he."
"Ughh. I hate when she goes AWOL. She's not calling me back! Where is that girl?!" I groan. "Seriously. My man Adrien's the exact same way. But I guess you gotta be sly when Mr. Control Freak is your daddy-o." Nino says. My phone rings. "Once again, Tigerlily, Ladybug and Chat Noir have saved Paris from the clutches of a menacing villain." Nadja says. I see Tigerlily's Bow and get an idea.
"Hey! I think I've just sniffed out who the real Ladybug is!" I start to tell Nino then I whisper "Chloé." Nino laughs Chloé? Seriously? She's too self-absorbed to think of anyone but herself, much less save the world! You are so cray-cray, lady!" "I am so not! You'll see!" I insist.
Y/N's POV:
I'm leaping over buildings trying to find a good place to de-transform back into regular me. I end up landing on my balcony. "Time flies fast when you're saving the world. The morning is gone!" Jack says. "Tell me about it. I missed an entire half day of school AND half day of seeing Adrien!" I face palm. "Well, Whoever's behind all of this sure is keeping us on our toes!" Jack tells me. "Jack, You don't have any toes!" I laugh. Then make my way down to Adrien's room
"Alya brought your school bag home for you," Nathalie tells me. "Hello Nathalie." I sigh. "You seem so forgetful these days. Maybe you just need some fresh air and extra exercise for that growing brain of yours!" Nathalie suggests. "Good idea, Nathalie I'll start tomorrow." Nathalie waves me off.
"Tigerlily saved Paris from destruction once again today, but who's gonna save Y/N from her homework?" I sign and put my head down. I look over to my homework and see a sticky note "What's this?" I ask myself. "Call me. I know who the real Ladybug is."
"You don't think she knows? Do you?" Jack asks me nervously. "I honestly doubt it. Alya's always jumping to conclusions way before she has her facts straight." I say. "But just in case..." Jack says. "No problem Jack. I got it covered!" I tell him.
I decide to try to call Alya, but I have no signal.
"Dang. No signal" I say and decide to investigate
I go to find Nathalie to ask about it. She's in her office. I walk in and ask "Nathalie, why is there no signal?"
"Sorry, Y/N. Cell tower maintenance. The whole neighborhood's down. No signal for the next hour!" "Okay!" I say and walk out.
"Come on, Y/N. Try again later. Let's head down and finish your homework. We have a few hours before you go back and Adrien's still there so we can talk while you work!" Jack says happily.
Alya's POV:
Nino and I are watching Chloé and Sabrina enter the school, and some other students are watching her.
"Hey there! Hi! You look totally fab! Uh, no, not you. Hey, it's still a month from Halloween, you know?" Chloe says offensively
"You need to have your head examined. If she's a superhero, then I'm the Wizard of Oz." Nino tells me
"I'm telling you, she's Ladybug!" I almost yell. "Can you prove it?" Nino asks me hesitantly.
Y/N's POV:
I wake up with a shake. And Jack wakes up too. "Uh... what time is it?" He asks me. "Uhh, school starts in... (I check my phone.) An hour ago?!" I freak out."
Alya's POV:
I'm in the locker room with Nino talking to him. "Now don't mess up your lines." I tell him and push him to the lockers. "Oh, uhhh... Ladybug! Look over there!" Nino says to Chloe.
"Uhh, what kind of lame joke is this?" Chloe asks him. "Uhh, well, that was... Did you see Ladybug yesterday? Isn't she amazing? I wonder who she really is." Nino says.
"Uhh... up too late DJ-ing, Nino? Obviously you didn't get your beauty sleep." Chloe tells him.
I sneak around to Chloe's locker and take a picture of it.
"Uh... Chloé! Alya's looking in your locker!" Sabrina rats on me. "Uhh... that's a lie! I so was not!" Kim Steals my phone. "Hey! Give it back!" I yell. He hands my phone to Chloe.
Chloé looks at the photo. "Who's the little liar now?" She taunts me.
Chloe, Sabrina and I are in Mr. Damocles' office.
"She's guilty of invasion of my privacy! And I have proof!" Chloe whines. "What?! Seriously! All I did was take a measly photo!" I fight back. "I'm sorry, Chloé. But there's no school policy on invasion of privacy." Mr. D says. "Then... then breaking and entering!" Chloe stutters. "I didn't break into her locker! It was already open!" I tell him.
"And absolutely nothing was stolen?" Mr. D asks us. "Only my very soul! My locker is my secret garden! He who enters uninvited burglarizes my inner being and steals my life force!" Chloe fake cries. "Right. An hour of detention for you, Alya." Mr. D tells me.
"Are my ears failing me? Did I hear you're giving her one miserable hour of detention to a... a heinous criminal? Sabrina!" Chloe argues. "The school rules clearly state that any student guilty of theft should be suspended for one full week." Sabrina states.
"Yes, but she's hardly stole anything." Mr. D tells her. "I'm not sure that my father would share your point of view." Chloe's says and prepares to call her father.
"Uhhh, well, now, Chloé, let's not bother your father, I mean, the honorable Mayor with a minor locker situation..." Mr. D cowers in his words.
Chloe starts to call her father.
"Ehhh... what I mean is, you're suspended for a week, Alya." Mr. D gives up.
"What?! That is so unfair! I am so gonna protest this on the school blog!" I threaten them. Mr. D looks at Chloe who's smugly shaking her phone, he sighs. "The school blog is hereby suspended as well!"
I look at Chloe and glare at her "She's no superhero, she's super-psycho!"
Hawkmoth's POV:
"Ahhh... School life. Such a science experiment. A petri dish of cultivating secrets, lies and betrayal, the thriving vivarium for my evil akumas. (I turn a butterfly into an akuma) Fly away, my little akuma, and evilize her!" I tell it.
Y/N's POV:
"I'm late, I'm late, I'm so, so late!" I mutter to myself. I run up the stairs.
Alya's POV:
I walk down the stairs and try to call Y/N again. But I get her voice mail. "Hi, this is Y/N! Leave a message. Hehe". I sink down and a purple butterfly enters my phone.
"Lady Wifi, I heard through the grapevine that you're seeking to unmask Tigerlily... I'd like to help you if you agree to help me too." A voice tells me. "I'll expose the lies of anyone who covers up the truth! Sign me up!" I say and transform.
Adrien's POV:
I keep glancing from the door to my watch because Y/N hasn't shown up yet. Y/N comes in and sees Nino and I.
Y/N sits in her seat and looks for Alya. She taps Nino on the shoulder asking, "Where is she?" "She's been suspended..." Nino tells her. "What?!" Y/N yells. "Y/N, if you're going to come late, would you please do it discretely?" Miss Bustier says.
"Sorry..." She replys. Then whispers to Nino, "What happened to her?" "The short story? Accused of breaking into Chloé's locker. I mean, Ladybug's locker..." He tells her "What!?" Y/N yells.
"That's it, Y/N! Go to the principal's office!" She grabs her bag and leaves the classroom. I whisper to Nino "What are you talking about?" "Exactly what I said, bro. Alya says Chloé is Ladybug! She is crazy!"
I look to Chloe and she winks at me and im confused then I turn my head towards my tablet, thinking of Y/N.
Y/N's POV:
I arrive at the principal's office. "Mr. Damocles?" I open the door. "Sir?" I call out. I look around and see that Mr. Damocles is frozen, and a pink pause button is on him. "Huh?!" I question. Then the computer screen lights up with a girl on it.
"I'm Lady Wifi, revealer of the truth! For our first exposé, your principal, would like to share a little tidbit with you. So, Mr. Damocles, is it true you wrongly suspended a student named Alya today?" She asks him. "Uh... yes, it is." He replys very ashamed. "So, you were biased? Unfair? Totally unjust?!" She asks him again. "Yes, I was."
I look around the screen looking for and answer to who this is. I look down at their phone and see a Tigerlily charm on it. "Oh, no! Alya! Jack, time to transform!" I say. "You're going to have to fight your best friend!" Jack warns me.
"Nope! I'm gonna have to save my best friend!" I tell him. "Jack, Whiskers out! Yeah!" I yell and transform.
"For my next scoop, I'll be taking you to meet the girl who's been hiding behind the Ladybug mask!" Alya puts pink pause button on Mr. Damocles, freezing him "Stay connected!" She says and turns the screen off.
Adrien's POV:
"Everyone, for your own safety, go directly home right now! And don't forget to read chapters four and five!" Miss Bustier yells. I run to the bathroom to change.
"If Chloé is Tigerlily like Alya said, then Lady Wifi's gonna head straight for her house!" I tell Plagg. 'And it also means you used to have a crush on Chloé!" Plagg teases me and laughs. I groan at his 'joke'
"Plagg, claws out!" I yell and turn into Chat Noir. I runs to the hotel. I take my staff and sees Chloé dressed as Tigerlily. "What? This can't be!" I cry.
Tigerlily's POV:
Lady Bug and I arrive at the same time and she says to Chat "Who's being a sneaky kitty now?" "Oh, girls, But--" "Come on, you don't actually believe she's the real Tigerlily?" I ask him. We watch Chloé keep playing with her yo-yo and she ends up tying herself up.
"Yeah, of course not." He tells me. "And besides, who would believe that she's the original Tigerlily? She's obviously just a die-hard fan. A copycat?" Ladybug says. "Right." He says.
Chloé who is dressed as Tigerlily , is trying to untie herself, when her cell phone rings. She picks up "Hello?" Then her phone starts to emit a bright pink glow, she throws it across the room, and Lady Wifi appears.
"Well, hello there, Tigerlily!" Lady Wifi says. Chloé tries to run away, but Lady Wifi puts a pink pause button on her making her stop. "We got Wifi!" I tell the others and we head into the hotel.
Lady wifi puts a camera icon above Chloé "Well, well... So my hunch was correctamundo." She plays the video on all screens. "Everyone thinks the girl beneath the Tigerlily costume is a little angel. Think again, people! The real Tigerlily is... Chloé Bourgeois, everyone!" Lady wifi proudly says.
Then the three of us enter the room. "Who are you?" She asks confused "Uhhh..." Chat says unsure if how to explain. Lady Wifi looks at Chloé "But I thought you were Tigerlily!"
"Sorry to bust your news story. Next time, double-check your facts." Chat says to her. "You'll be sorry." Lady wifi tells us. She uses her cellphone to delete the pink icons, releasing Chloé.
She then trips and falls.
"Alya?" Ladybug asks. "Alya's been disconnected. I'm Lady Wifi." She turns to me "News flash! Tigerlily, let's find out who you really are!" "Follow me!" I tell Chat and Lady bug and we run.
"So what's the plan?" Chat asks me, while he smiles. "She gets her powers from her phone, so let's lead her to the basement, where there is no service!" I tell him. "No service, no power. Nice one, mon petit Chaton!" He replys.
"We've gotta go lower!" Ladybug tells us. Lady Wifi laughs 'I've got you now, Tigerlily!" "Get ready!" I tell the others. 'So, what do you do when you're not Tigerlily?" Chat asks me. Lady bug looks shocked, then recovers "Can't you see we're a little bit busy right now?" She tells him. I glance around the room. Lady wifi is gone. "She's gone back into the hotel!" I tell the others.
Chat looks around at the doors, they all have icons on them "She locked all the doors! Hey, you realize we all might actually know each other in normal life." Chat says getting side tracked."
Ladybug looks toward me nervously "Doubt it. It's locked!" I say shutting that down. We keep going up stairs and only the top door doesn't have a lock on it. "She's left this one open." Chat says. "Get ready for an ambush on 3. 1, 2, 3!" Ladybug says
We burst through the door to the dining room, only to find that Lady Wifi is nowhere to be found. Although the tables are covered in phones. "Ahhh... So much for the ambush." Chat sighs. "Follow me. Where is she hiding? And what's up with all these phones?" I ask no one in particular.
Suddenly a pink light comes out from a phone, and Lady Wifi appears. She starts to attacks us. "How now, brown cow? I thought it was you she was after!" He says to me. Ladybug ties Lady Wifi up with her yo-yo, but she disappears, and re-appearing above one phone after another. "Ha! You can't get me!" Lady wifi tells us.
"Yes I can." I break all the phones with my infini-bow. Lady Wifi runs into the kitchen. I chase after her, and once I'm in there she locks the door behind me leaving the others out. "No, no, no... Hold on in there, Tigerlily!" Chat says and he checks the hotel map in his staff. "Of course! The service elevator!" I hear then he runs off with Ladybug.
Back in the kitchen, I am dodging Lady Wifi's attacks. She uses her phone to throw the knife rack at me. I manage to dodge all but one, it glides right by just the side of my thigh tearing my suit and letting blood trickle out of the cut. I grunt and fall over due to the pain.
I try to get up but when I do Lady Wifi throws two locks at my hands pinning me against the wall. Then she throws a camera icon out.
"Who is Tigerlily? Is she a superhero or a super-weirdo? How can we trust the girl when we have no idea who she really is? We have the right to know!" Lady wifi says and tries to remove my mask, but it won't come off "Why doesn't it come off?" She asks irritated.
"Uhhh... because it's magic?" I say. Then the service elevator opens and Chat and Ladybug get out "You're out of minutes, Lady Wifi!" Chat says.
"Oh, how romantic. Tomcat's come to save his kitten!' Ladywifi says.
"I am not his Kitten!" I lie to her. "We'll come back to that later." Chat says.
Lady Wifi attacks them, knocking him and Ladybug into the freezer room. His ring comes off, releasing Plagg, and Cat Noir turns into Adrien.
3rd person pov:
Before Ladybug can get up Chat tells her not to look and to plug her ears as he has detransformed. "My ring!" Chat says.
"Ooh... so chilly in here." Plagg says.
"Where is it? I could use a little help!" He tells plagg
"Well, well... what am I gonna do with the three of you?" Lady wifi asks. "Get her to use her Lucky Charm! It'll force her to switch back, and her identity will be revealed, and her Miraculous will be mine." Hawkmoth tells her.
"If you don't get them outta there fast, your friends will be popsicles. Ha ha ha!" Lady wifi laughs. She removes the locks from Tigerlily's hands. "Good luck with your popsicles! I have other news to cover!" Lady wifi laughs and she disappears. "Huh?" Tigerlily questions.
Outside Le Grand Paris. The mayor and two police cars are there.
"Come on..." Andre says. Chloé exits the hotel and hugs her father. She checks her phone, but Lady Wifi comes out from it and flies into the sky. She begins broadcasting herself.
"What's up, peeps! Listen everyone! I present you with the award-winning news story you've all been waiting for!" Lady wifi says
Y/N's POV:
"I'll get you out of there, guys!" I yell to them. "Take your time!" I hear Chat yell. I can hear Lady wifi's broadcast "Don't blink, 'cause Tigerlily's about to drop the bomb on her real identity!" Ladywifi says. "Bow box!" I yell and a box appears. "This better be some lucky box... Of course, the microwaves!" I run over to the microwaves and put the box in it and point it to the locks on the door. "Gotcha! Gotcha!" I hear Chat say, then he tells Ladybug she can look and listen.
"Come on, micro-thingies, jam this signal..." I whisper. Then the door burst open and Chat and Ladybug roll out into my arms. "You okay, Tigerlily? Ladybug asks me as she notices my leg. Then my miraculous beeps.
"You used your Lucky Charm...there's not much time left." Chat looks at me worried. "Exactly!" Lady wifi's voice rings out. "Open the kitchen door!" "We can't, microwave's busted." Ladybug says. she whispers to us "Here's what to do, listen to me..." "Got it." Chat says.
Chat Noir is giggling while he puts a pan over the top of the camera icon, blocking Lady Wifi's screen. "What are they up to?" Lady wifi's voice says.
"Don't let my Miraculous get away!" A voice says. "Right!" She replies. "We'll go and jam the wi-fi antenna." Chat says, and he and Ladybug get in the service elevator. "Good luck!" I yell.
Adrien's POV:
I chase Lady wifi up to the roof top and go towards the wifi antenna. "Nice idea, kitty cat, but I'm not gonna let you cut me off so easily!" She says until Ladybug attacks her.
I run over to the wifi tower and go to destroy it until Lady wifi notices. "Cataclysm!" I shout. "Nooooooo!" Lady wifi yells. I destroy the tower causing Ladywifi's locks to disappear and her power to drain. "Lost the signal!" She yells. "Gimme that phone!" I yell at her. I try to take the phone away from her, but she dodges. I end up finding myself defenseless. Ladybug and I are fighting her off by we need help.
Just then Tigerlily bursts in and tackles Lady wifi and she grabs the phone and tosses it to Lady bug.
She breaks the phone, releasing its akuma "No more evildoing for you, little akuma. Time to de-evilize!" Ladybug says and catches the akuma with her yo-yo! "Gotcha!" And let's out a normal butterfly. "Bye bye, little butterfly. Miraculous Ladybug!" Then she throws her yo-yo in the air clearing all the effects and Lady wifi turns back into Alya.
"What?" Alya asks and rubs her head. "Pound it!" The three of us high five
"Tigerlily! Wow! Ladybug And Cat Noir! Can I get a quick interview? Just let me grab my phone!" Alya says. My miraculous beeps "Uhh... gotta go. You've only got a minute." Then we run off."So-- oh, no! Where did they go?" Alya says upset.
Tigerlily is about to enter a room but I stop her. "Stay! I won't tell anyone who you are. Cat's honor." I say. "Nobody must know who we really are. Not even us." She says and closes the door. I try to open it but it's locked.
Time skip:
I leave the hotel. "That was the chance to find out who the love of your life really is! What were you thinking?" Plagg asks. "That's the thing, Plagg. I wasn't thinking. I was following my heart." I tell him.
Y/N's POV:
I text Marinette "hey girl. Is it cool if I come over tonight and spend the night?" I get a text back, "yeah, Y/N of course." I pack my bag and tell Adrien where I'll be if he needs me.
When I arrive at Marinette's house she lets me in and takes me to her room. I ask her if she can take a look at my leg since I trust her not to tell anyone about it. I put on a pair of shorts and come back out. Marinette looks at my leg and asks me what happened. And I told her about the knife. She said "by the looks of it you're going to need stitches Y/N, but I can do them for you. If you want"
I nod yes, she first cleans it and I cringe at the pain from the cut, after the first few minutes it got better and it didn't hurt. Then she got out her sewing needles and peroxide. She sterilized the needle and thread then she had rubbed an ice cube around the area to freeze it so I wouldn't feel it as bad.
As she was sewing it together I was crying because it really hurt, and it was a deep cut so it needed more stitches than she thought. After five minutes she was done and wrapped my thigh in bandages to keep it protected.
She cleaned up and gave me a hug as I was still crying. She rubbed my head to calm me down and gave me an aspirin for pain. We decided to order Chinese food for dinner and watched a movie. I ended up sleeping in her bed with her because she wanted to keep and eye on me. I passed out not long after my head hit the pillow.
*A/N I know what I did for Y/N's leg wasn't what you should actually do but hey, what the hell. Also sorry if it was kinda gory but whoops*
