Marinette's POV

Two weeks after the Transition

"Remember when performing the front kick you need to keep tension in your core. To help maintain your balance while you kick." Laurent our kickboxing instructor explained placing his hand on his torso. For the next hour and a half Adrien and I trained. Improving our strengths while learning our weaknesses. Or at least we were trying to, both of us were a bit unbalanced.

"Ugh" sitting against a wall I opened my water bottle. Slowly feeling the muscles in my legs spasm. "Shit" the motion caused me to spill some of the water. As the droplets ran across my leg and I brought the bottle to my lips.

"Man, Laurent was kicking our ass today" Adrien grumbled. As he sat down beside me and was panting.

"What mon Chaton can't handle the pressure?"

"It was your idea to do this in the first place!"

"Exactly by us doing this, it will help build our bond out of the suits."

"Agreed, but you are very calm about all this. What happened to the woman who could barely talk to me?" He pulled out his own bottle to drink. Shaking my head I pulled out my phone to check the time.

"Are you kidding me! Right after I woke up I couldn't stop crying and screaming for an hour. Master Fu had to give me a sedative! Never in a million years did I think that the guy I was crushing on. Was the same person I had been partnered with to save the day." Becoming frustrated by the conversation I grabbed my pink duffle bag. To head out of the private gym.

"Marinette wait!" He followed behind me, both of us were walking down the street. Heading towards the metro I was quite a distance in front of Adrien. "We need to talk!" Ignoring him I entered the station and paid my fare for the ride. Taking a seat in the back I leaned my head against the window. The coolness of the glass soothed my forming migraine.

"How are you feeling?" Tikki whispered from a pocket on the bag.

"Frustrated, on one hand, I'm glad I have my memories back. Yet I'm upset how everything went down."

"Well, I'll admit this is the first reveal to ever happen like this. Are you upset that Adrien knows it's you?" Tikki asked knowing damn well the answer. Hell, Chat was obsessed with Ladybug and given how Adrien treated me before the transition. He had fallen in love with me as well. After all this time, Dieu and how I treated Chat.

Ugh, this was a nightmare!

Getting off the metro I headed to the mansion.

After revealing everything to each other I knew that it was time to move back in with my actual parents. Yet I wasn't comfortable seeing the statue versions of my parents. The fact that there was no Ladybug at the time to fix my mistakes. Numerous statues remained; the flutter of ladybugs within the miraculous cure. Wouldn't be able to fix this since there wasn't a lucky charm used during the attack.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

'Groaning, eyes fluttering open to see Adrien staring down at me.

"Adrien, what's going on?" I asked as I sat up and looked around the room. Realizing that I was in Master Fu's tea shop I closed my eyes. After I rubbed them I pulled my hands back just to see those iconic black spots.

Oh.

Mon.

Dieu!

Panic was the only thing I felt as I stood up. A wave of nausea came over me as memories crashed in my mind. All over again and suddenly I couldn't breathe, I couldn't breathe! This wasn't how the reveal was supposed to happen.
