"Heeelp!" Marinette screamed as she ran through the halls of at night, being chased by and .

The designer ran away from Stormy Weather, but was soon blocked by the other supervillain. When she tried to escape, running back toward Stormy Weather, Lady Wifi sent a pink pause symbol at her. After Marinette was locked in place, Stormy Weather raised her parasol and aimed at the paused girl, freezing her in a block of ice. The two supervillains met up beside the ice block and shook hands in accomplishment. But then, a mysterious boy landed on the floor behind them.

The two supervillains turned around and saw the new arrival, who twirled his pencil in his hand, ready to make his move. Stormy Weather quickly raised her parasol, opening it up to attack the boy, but he merely erased the parasol, much to her shock.

Lady Wifi then stepped up to attack, but he spun his pencil in his hand again before he drew a box around the two villains, trapping them in a see-through cage. Once the two super villains were taken care of, the mystery boy erased the ice block Marinette was trapped in, letting her stumble to her feet, before looking at her rescuer.

"Oh, Super Nathan, you're my hero!" Marinette gushed, right before running to the mysterious boy.

"It was nothing," Super Nathan assured as Marinette tightly embraced him.

"I love you!" Marinette proclaimed, looking up at her hero, before he returned her embrace.

"I love you too, Marinette," Super Nathan replied, feeling so happy at that moment. Literally nothing could bring him down right now.

"Nathaniel! What are you drawing?" A voice exclaimed, interrupting the sweet moment, and caused Nathaniel to wake up, seeing Ms. Mendeleiev standing above him, and his sketchbook, pulling him back into reality.

'Oh right, it was just a dream.' Nathaniel thought to himself after realizing what was going on.

"Wha, wha—" Nathaniel began, trying to defend himself.

Let's clarify, shall we?

While Jim was now dealing with the fact that trolls exist, and he was chosen as their new chosen protector, Marinette had her own stuff to deal with. It had been two weeks since Lady Wifi, and things had been quiet since then, save for Rogercop–Sabrina's dad, who was now Police Lieutenant Roger–a few days back.

Sadly, that went down when Hawkmoth decided to break the silence, and made an akuma yesterday. It took so long that Marinette was so tired afterwards that she skipped her nightly call with Jim, and missed finding out about trolls existing, and Jim essentially becoming a superhero. Not that she knew that part yet, but she still felt bad about missing the call.

Right now, all the girl wanted was a quiet day at school, with no drama at all. Unfortunately, that all went down the drain as soon as Ms. Mendeleiev grabbed one of the loose papers in Nathaniel's sketchbook, and waved it in the air above the boy.

"These artistic endeavors are clearly why you are failing science," Ms. Mendeleiev berated as she let go of the paper in her hands, letting it flutter to the desk as she ridiculed the young artist.

"I'm sorry..." Nathaniel mumbled.

"You go march yourself down to the principal's office and show him that chicken scratch! Then you'll be really sorry!" Ms. Mendeleiev demanded, seeming to enjoy torturing Nathaniel as he packed up his belongings and headed to the classroom door. But as he did, he tripped over Mylène's bag, and fell to the floor, his sketchbook flying out of his open bag. As the book fell to the floor, the pages were open for all to see, including Marinette and Alya as they saw what the drawing contained.
