"So, what's your plan on getting the Miraculous back?" Steve asked. 

[Steve's POV]

Steve felt like he shouldn't be asking this to a bunch of kids. They looked like they were barely teenagers, maybe 14-15 years old. Then again, they seemed to hold many responsibilities on their shoulders and knew he shouldn't downgrade their accomplishments. 

"Well, if we can find Hawkmoth's lair, that would be ideal. However, since we have no idea where it could be, the only thing we can do right now is hope he uses the Miraculous in battle like he did today and get them back, slowly but surely," Ladybug said. "If Hawkmoth wants our Miraculous then he will definitely keep coming out to try and defeat us."

"Why does he want your Miraculous in the first place?" Natasha asked.   

Ladybug and Chat Noir glanced at each other, pausing a little. 

[Ladybug's POV]

Marinette knew that these people had done their fair share of saving the world but would it really be a good idea to tell them about the wish a person can make if they had the Miraculous of the ladybug and black cat? They only just met after all. 

"Our Miraculous are two of the strongest ones. If he can get ours then nothing can stand in his way," Ladybug said, hoping they would be satisfied with that answer. 

[Natasha's POV]

Natasha's eyes narrowed. They were keeping secrets from the rest of the team. So were Clint and those other mysterious kids, now that she thought about it. Why so many secrets? 

The Avengers all must have understood that they were keeping something because Natasha noticed them looking a little put out. 

Steve asked, "Can you tell us a little more about individual Miraculous? Which ones should we be looking out for?" 

"Well...They're all powerful, really. It's hard to pinpoint exactly which ones could be hard to beat," Ladybug said, pondering.

[Chat Noir's POV]

"Sass...?" Chat Noir whispered to Ladybug. He still remembered using the powers of the snake Miraculous and shuddered at the thought of Hawkmoth having it. 

Ladybug nodded and said for the whole room to hear, "The snake Miraculous. It has the power to turn back time to the moment the holder activates its powers." 

From there, Ladybug and Chat Noir began to name each of the Miraculous and their powers, deciding that they could all pose a big threat and it would be better for the team to know about all of them. 

A few hours later, the whole team had memorized most of the powers. 

Chat Noir checked his staff, looking at the time. His face paled. It was way past the time he was supposed to be home. "As much as I enjoyed this little get together, this cat needs his beauty sleep. See you guys tomorrow?" 

Ladybug checked the time and let out a yelp. "Ah...Yeah, sorry to cut this short but we need to get back. It was nice meeting all of you," she said, quickly standing up. 

Everyone said their goodbyes, looking a little tired themselves. 

"Will...do you want to stay the night?" Clint asked, "I'm assuming they didn't give you guys a proper place to rest, right?" 

[Will's POV]

Should he stay with his brother? It had been a while, even if he betrayed him, being a demigod meant learning that it wasn't good to keep grudges, especially to family members since you would never know when you'd see each other again. 

He looked over at Nico who was avoiding eye contact. He must want Will to make the decision on his own. He knew that Nico's claustrophobia would only get worse if he was forced to sleep down here and he was already drained from shadow traveling too much. 

"No, it's fine. Lady Aphrodite gave us a proper place to stay for once, and we probably shouldn't overstay our welcome," Will replied, not meeting anyone's eyes. 

"I can take us from here, if you want," Nico whispered. Will hesitated. Nico looked like he would be fine with doing another jump and he didn't want to be in this room longer than he had to. 

Will nodded, grabbing his boyfriend's hand. "See you guys later," he said right before they stepped into a shadow, returning to their hotel room. 

"Ugh, I'm tired," Nico said flopping down on his bed. Will climbed in next to him, burying his head in his boyfriend's shoulder. 

"You want to talk about today?" Nico asked softly. Will shook his head and replied, "Maybe in the morning. I just want to give you a quick check up then sleep for the next few days." Nico groaned at that, beginning to protest about not needing a check up, saying that he didn't overexert himself that much.

[Chat Noir's POV]

Ladybug and Chat Noir met at the top of a rooftop right after leaving the helicarrier. 

"M'lady, after patrol later, do you want to go somewhere and talk to Pollen? I think Plagg and Tikki would want to be there too," Chat Noir said. 

Ladybug nodded and said, "Yeah, good idea. Meet at the usual time?" 

"Yeah, if I can get away on time. My father won't be too happy that I'm coming home this late," he said, rubbing the back of his neck. 

"Oh, yeah, my parents are totally going to chew me out for this," Ladybug sighed. 

"Well, let's try to survive at least, for the sake of Paris," Chat Noir chuckled. "See you soon, m'lady," he said as he extended his staff and headed for his mansion, making sure to take a few detours to avoid being seen.

[Tony's POV]

"Okay, Legolas, don't you think we need more of an explanation now that they're gone?" Tony asked Clint the second everyone left. 

"Is no one questioning how that kid just dissolved into the shadows?" Bruce asked. 

"Not the time, man," Steve replied.
