"ARE you sure you're ready for this, kid?" Plagg asked Adrien, flying up to his face as he sat on the couch.

"I guess I have to be," Adrien starts, "We have to do this." Adrien transformed and headed out to his and Ladybug's meeting spot. He had called for this meeting, and hoped that he could just smile through the secret that he was keeping. It was still bizarre that Marinette was Ladybug, but Adrien had decided not to tell her and just try and get through everything first.

When he arrived, Ladybug was already there, "Hey, Chat. What was the call for?"

Chat gulped. All he could see was Marinette.

"I found Shadow Moth's lair."

Ladybug looked shocked, "Really? That's great!"

"Well, you didn't let me finish. I think.. we should attack. Today."

Ladybug sort of just paused and looked back at him, not knowing what to say. But then, she nodded her head, "Alright. But what's the rush? Shouldn't we plan things out a little bit more?"

Chat looked back at her and sighed, "I just think it's for the best. We don't know what she's capable of."

"Okay. We got this, kitty cat." Ladybug says, smiling hopefully. Chat Noir just smiles and leads the way, hopping forward and making his way.

After some time, the two reach the destination: Shadow Moth's abandoned warehouse.

"Lucky charm!" Ladybug calls, and a small, random sphere drops from the sky.

Chat walks up to the entrance, "Cataclysm!" He yells, touching the double doors and watching as they rust and crumble to dust. Chat and Ladybug walk inside, trying to seem confident as they share uneasy glances at each other.

"Miraculous Ladybug." Ladybug announces, the sphere now having disappeared and turning into miraculous ladybugs, fixing the damage on the door caused by Chat Noir's cataclysm.

"Now we wait, I guess." LB instructs, walking around the warehouse and looking at everything inside. There's honestly not much there; Just a bunch of loose papers lying around. Ladybug approaches a pile of the papers and peers into them.

"What's on it?" Chat Noir asks, walking up to Ladybug from behind and looking over her shoulder.

"There's—Just some crazy shit that Shadow Moth must've written.. directed to us. Nothing important, just.. scary, and weird. Shadow Moth seems really upset." Ladybug picks up one of the papers and hands it to Chat, his eyes going wide at the words written.

"Let's not look at those any longer." Chat states, smiling sweetly and putting a hand on LB's shoulder. Ladybug looks at him, her eyes just lighting up as they meet his and melting. Then, Chat pulls away, his eyes starting to look a little sad as he looks up at a skylight in the warehouse.

"This looks familiar.." Chat thinks to himself. Ladybug sees the reminiscent expression on her partner's face, but decides not to bring up or push the topic at the moment.

The cat extends his staff, putting it on the ground vertically and leaning against it. Ladybug stands next to him, awaiting their visitor. Of course, they ended up standing there for a while. Who knew when Shadow Moth was going to arrive? But the awkward silence between them wasn't making things better. Ladybug was feeling weird with Chat because she couldn't act affectionately with him while being a superheroine. And Chat Noir... well, it was obvious. They had secretly revealed and only one of them knew about it.

Suddenly, a loud thud was heard on the roof. Ladybug and Chat Noir rushed away, hiding underneath the table to stay out of sight, afraid that the enemy would see them through the skylight. The superheroes peered from down below, looking up at the view of Shadow Moth. The figure then disappeared, and footsteps were heard nearing the entrance.
