Camellia had noticed that her sister looked a little upset but decided to not pry. The two met up with a girl named Alya in front of the school. Marinette introduced the two and they started talking about the two new heroes.

"The Ladyblog, bringing you all the latest news about the coolest superhero, Scarlet Lady." Alya had pulled out her phone and showed a website that was decorated in reds, pinks and blacks. "How awesome is that? Check out the number of views since I posted the video!"

Alya's enthusiasm was a stark contrast to Marinette. "But why do you trust Scarlet Lady so much?" Now that question really made Camellia worry. Marinette never acted like this. "All these stone beings..." Maybe the villain fight really did scare her that much.

"She can handle them." Alya says, almost instantly.

"But what if she's not really cut out to be a superhero even though everyone thinks she is?" The three girls stop, Alya and Camellia look at the girl.

"What are you talking about, girl? ... oh wait. I know what this is about." Marinette gasps, looking away from the glasses-wearing girl. Camellia looks at her sister, worriedly. "You're scared. But don't be. I've seen her with my own two eyes, girl! Scarlet Lady is a true superheroine!" Alya tells her, excited superheroes are real.

"Don't worry Marinette, Scarlet Lady and Chat Noir are going to protect all of us. I believe in them and if they don't come, I will protect you myself." Camellia pulls her sister into a hug. Marinette relaxes a bit.

"So you really don't remember anything?" The question could be heard from a group of people crowding around Ivan. While they questioned him and made comments about his villain state, Ivan looked confused and like he didn't want to be there.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't myself." Camellia sadly smiled at his comment. Being transformed into a monster must be scary and confusing. She couldn't imagine how he was feeling right now. Wanting to show her support, Camellia walks over and offers Ivan a calming smile.

"It's okay, Ivan. We all have our off days." She laughs at her joke, also gaining a small chuckle from Ivan and a few laughs from the surrounding group.

"Oh please. Once a monster, always a monster." A rude comment was heard and everyone looked over to see Chloe. Ivan glared at her and walked away, not wanting to deal with her anymore. "Don't let the door hit you on the way out!"

Marinette followed Ivan. "How could you say that to Ivan!? You're the real Stoneheart!" Alya glares at Chloe. Chloe challenges Alya's will be getting up in her face.

"Oh so I'm the one who broke Sabrina's dad's arm, am I? Just because your footage of those superheroes was shown on TV doesn't mean you can be all high and mighty." Chloe said, popping her bubble gum in Alya's face.

"You little-"

"Look out! She's angry. She's going to split her underwear and turn into a huge, muscle-ly monster!." Chloe mocks her. Alya not having anymore walks away from her.

Camellia decided that she'd had enough of the mocking and left to her classroom. Nathaniel was sitting in his seat scribbling in his sketchbook. She also noticed that Nathaniel seemed uncomfortable, he was squirming and seemed to jerk at any noise being made.
