(22) Huh, Everyone is Tired Today. It's Like They're All Secretly Superheroes

Full Title of this Chapter: "Huh, Everyone is Tired Today. It's Like They're All Secretly Superheroes or Something."

[Peter's POV]

The next day, Peter attended class with the others as usual. He couldn't see Will or Nico so he assumed they had decided not to sneak into class with them this time. He was still confused about what had occurred the previous day.

The thought had never occurred to him that Hawkeye would have any siblings. Much less it being the same boy he met yesterday. Plus, it looked like Will and Nico had some powers, too? Nico seemed to teleport during the battle and Will had that ear-piercing whistle. They both carried weapons too.

Peter had so many questions but he couldn't reveal his identity to them quite yet since he didn't know if they were trustworthy. They just met, after all.

Another thought nagged at the back of his head about what he heard yesterday. Clint, Nico, and Will had mentioned Aphrodite and Apollo—both Greek gods according to the limited knowledge he had on the topic. Why had they mentioned them? What relation does it have? His spidey sense told him it was important, but he couldn't figure out why.

He took a seat near Marinette who was yawning into her hand.

"Hey, Marinette," he said to her, waving.

"Hey," she replied with a French accent.

"Did you sleep badly?" he asked curiously as she rubbed her eyes tiredly.

Marinette understood the question and tried to mime out a way to convey that she had a hard time falling asleep. Peter laughed and nodded in understanding. It was surprisingly easy to speak to her despite knowing different languages.

They spent the rest of the day in the classroom, trying to contain their restlessness.

[Marinette's POV]

Marinette tapped her feet impatiently. She couldn't wait to meet up with Chat and look for the location of Hawkmoth's hideout. This was the closest they've been to beating him in forever. She was barely able to sleep because of her restlessness. She wondered if Chat had been as on edge as her.

She averted her gaze to Adrien who was sitting in front of her. A smile naturally brought its way upon her lips as she saw him. Like her, he also appeared to be very tired and was trying not to yawn as Ms. Bustier went over her lesson.

She wondered what could have happened for him to sleep badly. His father usually didn't let him go to sleep late since he had to look perfect for his photoshoots.

I should ask him if anything is up, she decided. After all, I did decide I wanted to be a better friend to him.

Finally, the long-awaited bell rang.

"Adrien," she called to him as soon as Ms. Bustier dismissed them.

Adrien turned around, pausing from picking up his books. A beautiful smile broke out on his face when he saw her. "Hey, Marinette, what's up?"

"O-oh, I wanted to ask if you were peeling— feeling awesome— I mean good? You looked beautiful— I mean tired in class earlier," Marinette said, cursing herself for stuttering so much. No matter what, she couldn't help but feel tongue-twisted in front of him. She had decided to continue being his friend and admire him from a distance ever since she broke up with Luka, but she couldn't stop herself from acting foolishly in front of him.

Adrien laughed happily, his face brightening up.

[Adrien's POV]

Marinette is so cute and nice. I can't believe she noticed I was tired, Adrien thought.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I just slept badly," he explained. Marinette nodded in understanding, her face bright red. "Thanks for asking."

Truthfully, he was doing everything he could to not fall asleep right then and there. He was too excited to begin patrolling the previous night that he tossed and turned all night.

<('~')>

After school, Adrien went home and quickly transformed in his room, not forgetting to first start the video of the piano piece that he was supposed to be practicing. He set it on a loop and jumped out the window, extending his baton to lead him to the rooftops.

He set down near the area where the Avengers' helicarrier was hidden. Spiderman was there, waiting for them. Ladybug swung in a moment later, greeting them. Will and Nico arrived, appearing to have walked to the destination.

"Hi, guys," Will greeted happily. He looked carefree, a stark contrast to the way he was acting the other day around Clint. The others said their greetings and they set off into the helicarrier together.

The Avengers were sitting around the living room like before, yelling about a game of Monopoly this time.

The teenagers sat on the ground with them, calling their meeting to order. He and Ladybug had already discussed whether they should tell the others of their plan.

"Chat Noir and I have found a way that we can pinpoint the general direction of Hawkmoth's lair. We'll go on patrol later and see if we can find it," Ladybug said authoritatively.

She's so cool, Chat Noir thought. In his opinion, being in this room full of superheroes was slightly intimidating. However, Ladybug was able to speak and take charge just as she normally did without feeling any pressure. She always managed to surpass his expectations.

"What? How? Yesterday you said you had no idea where he was," Natasha asked.

Ladybug and Chat Noir exchanged glances. They decided it was safer not to tell anyone about the Kwamis as they might try to harness their powers for themselves as Hawkmoth did. They wouldn't take any more chances this time around.

"We think we can locate it using the Miraculous that we got back during the Akuma attack yesterday. If all goes well we should be successful," Ladybug explained. Neither of them offered any more information, making Natasha narrow her eyes at them.

"What should we do in the meantime then?" Will asked.

"We could always train a bit more. Get to know each other's skills and weaknesses and such," Steve offered.

Everyone agreed, beginning to stand up. Nico was the only one who groaned and sank to the ground, not unlike a deflating balloon, clearly hating the idea of training.
