Miraculous: Tales of the Wielders

Connecting the Dots

*author's note: wow, guys, I'm so sorry about how long these updates are taking... We just lost someone really close in the family to cancer, and we've had a lot of stuff to do concerning that. Plus you know my babies and adulting and such. But I've seen a few episodes of season two you guys and I'm freaking out! Like I'm so excited you have no idea! I'm trying to be a good girl and not watch anymore till season two comes out on Netflix... But it's so hard... ;-; anyways, thank you so much for all your support! You guys are awesome!

"So... Uh... You guys are official now huh?" Adrien asked elbowing Nino in the stomach.

"Ouch! Come on man, you know I've wanted to date her for like forever..."

Alya blushed a bit. "We don't have to give you all the deets... Let's just say we figured out each others true identities..."

Marinette and Adrien looked questioningly at each other and then back at the pair. "Wait, so you're saying... You know the truth? How??" Marinette asked.

"Know the truth? Wait, does this mean Alya is..."

Marinette covered Adrien's mouth before he blurted out Alya's secret.

"Yes, but I couldn't tell you before... Besides... I think we're being watched..." she said looking secretly toward a corner table.

"Try not to stare, but I think she's right..." Alya whispered. "He's been here for over an hour..."

They all took turns noticing a small Asian man who sipped at a cup of coffee and would look occasionally at them in open curiosity.

"That's not creepy at all..." mumbled Marinette.

"I talked to Ms. Madeline, and she agreed to let us have the room above the cafe." Alya whispered.

"How did you manage that?" Adrien asked curious.

"Let's just say I think she's onto me..."

"You think she knows??" Marinette asked worriedly.

"Ms. Bustier, our highschool teacher, apparently has been talking with her, and she's apparently been suspicious of our class since senior year. I'm not sure if they're positive, but they are making me pay a small rent fee." Alya explained.

"I guess our teacher is still our teacher even out of high school." Adrien laughed.

"I think we should split up and meet back upstairs... What do you guys think?" Marinette asked.

"Sounds good, fearless leader!" Nino agreed.

"Fearless leader? Really?" Alya asked folding her arms and shaking her head amused.

"What, I mean she is though isn't she?"

"I think so." agreed Adrien.

"No, I'm not. We're a team!" Marinette argued.

"He's right, M. You're an incredible leader." Alya encouraged her.

"Okay, well, before this conversation goes any further I suggest we move upstairs."

As Marinette turned to leave she came face to face with the wiry Asian man. "Um, hello."

"Greetings, I'm Lin. I couldn't help but notice you and your group of friends over here. You seem to enjoy each others' company, and you're the age range I was looking for..."

"Age range? For what?"

"I'm doing research to write an article for my newspaper in China... And I want to find out more about the age group the supposed Miraculous Wielders are. Are you four fans?"
