Alya was the first to react in their small group of friends. She pushed Nino to his feet and pointed him to the group of boys that were gathering by the door to their class room. Everyone knew the drill, after three years of Akuma attacks it had become almost second nature for everyone around Paris to go through the drills that the city council laid in place after the Stoneheart incident that started it all. The boys all worked to secure the doors and windows while the girls gathered first aid supplies and prepared to help anyone who may have been hurt while her favorite superhero took care of the problem. Her favorite superhero who was looking at her with wide eyes as the blonde beside her pulled her closely against him in a protective manner and did not look to be releasing her any time soon. She knew that she had to do something quickly to get her best friend away from everyone so she could go be the kickass bug that Alya had only come to admire more after the big reveal. She rushed up the isle to stand beside the poor girl and placed her hand over her best friends shaking one. With a stern expression painted on her face she looked the boy in his bright green eyes and squeezed the fingers in her grip gently.

"Hey Adrien, you need to go help the boys and she needs to come with me to the nurses office to help gather supplies." The boy pulled Marinette closer to himself as she spoke and she rolled her eyes while letting out a soft motherly groan, "come on loverboy. You know the drill. Let her go and I promise I will give her back to you when this is all over." He grumbled as he loosened his grip on her long enough for Alya to pull her to her feet.

"I'll be back soon." Marinette smiled sweetly at him as Alya pulled her away from the desk where he sat in stunned silence as he watched them walk away. Alya did not release her hand until they were out of the classroom and that was only to turn her towards the stairs so she could push her gently to lead her down them towards the front doors of the school. The blue eye called out in surprise as the taller girl shoved her out of the front doors of the school and onto the small porch formed between the top step and the wide double doors that now stood closed behind them.

"Alya! What are you-" she began.

"Here, for Tikki, go to the alley to change and I'll meet you at the Akuma okay." Alya cut her off quickly as she shoved a bag of cookies in to Marinettes hands. The petite girl looked shocked for a moment before a big grin spread across her features.

"I forgot you knew." She stated in a low soft voice as she slipped the cookies into her purse. Alya chuckled and patted her best friends arm as she pointed to the alley with the thumb of her free hand.

"Go get 'em girl, I'll be right with you if you need me." She stated as she gave her a playful shove.

"See you on the other side!" Marinette called out as she rushed to the indicated spot.

"That's my girl." Alya chuckled as she pulled her phone out and turned to where the sounds of the Akuma attack radiated from. With a gentle smile still firmly on her face she rushed towards her bike, her heart pounding with a mix of fear and excitement that caused her to go down the stairs two at a time.

Marinette sighed as she leaned against the wall of the school, hidden away from prying eyes with the aid of a large dumpster. Her hands clutched the bag of cookies so tightly to her chest that a few of them became crumbs that filled the bottom of it. Her mind was focused on Adrien, he would be worried if they did not return to the classroom, though she could easily say that she was helping Alya with the blog, but she had to go help out. She couldn't ignore the threat for the sake of her boyfriend(?) and she knew that this was the right thing to do, it had been the right thing to do since she was fourteen and yet now she worried about him more than she worried about the citizens she had been so focused on saving.

"Marinette!" Tikkis small voice cut through her thoughts and brought the reality of the situation crashing around her shoulders, "we have to hurry and save the poor victim from destroying the city!"
