"Hey, Tris!" I stop and turn as my name is called. I smile and fix the straps of my purse. The strap cutting more into my shoulder from all the school books and I hope Raya's situated okay. I turn to the guy with swooping brown hair and a giant grin on his face. He has a bag that he keeps with him everywhere he goes, a black and grey striped canvas shoulder bag with an eye catching green embroidery curling out the words "Shop In A Bag". His own design as he's gone through phases of selling different tourism trinkets

"Hey Michael," I greet him. "How's the bracelet business going?"

"It boomed! Apparently, Mystique helped out Ladybug and Chat Noir with that Minatour akuma last Friday. Did you hear about it in class?" He asks excitedly, catching up with me as we head down the stairs to the train.

"I had heard Mystique's name pop up more than usual. How did everyone find out about it?" I ask. It had made me on edge all day. But also happy.

"Apparently Ladybug gave a public thank you to her on the news after they got the akuma out. Mystique even has her own page on the Ladyblog now!"

"You're really excited about this, huh?" I ask Michael.

"Are you guys talking about that raccoon superhero?"

I look up to see Adrien Agreste in all his model blonde hair, big green eyes, stylish clothing glory standing on the platform waiting for his train. "How did-" I cut myself off. Letting him know I knew how difficult getting away from his bodyguard was would not going to be a good first impression. Raya's compulsion to spy on Tikki and Plagg led me to know much too much about the real lives of Ladybug and Chat Noir. However, for a second, I feel like he recognizes me, too. Maybe from when I saw him as Chat Noir? Would he remember me? Not that he would bring that up.

"Yes!" Luckily Michael's excitement about discussing Mystique draws attention away from my awkward half question. "Isn't she amazing?"

"I've just heard about her in the last couple days," Adrien admits. "But she's been around for a while?"

"Yeah, she stays in the subway system or the alleys, kind of like a raccoon does, and just does little good deeds. It's been reported she's stopped several robberies, a couple assaults, and just the other day she pulled someone off the tracks! She's amazing!" I roll my eyes at Michael's overly dramatized adoration.

"Careful, he'll hit you with his sales pitch next," I warn.

"Sales pitch?" Adrien asks, raising his eyebrows and grinning

"He sells Mystique merchandise," I explain, holding up the wrist my black and grey bangles are on. "I've fallen for it much too often."

"I have ears, masks, clip-on tails, and miraculous bracelets," Michael says, flipping his Shop in a Bag around and opening the flap up to reveal the articles he has.

"Miraculous bracelets?" Adrien asks, pulling one out of the bag.

"Yeah! That was actually Tris's idea! She had seen pictures, blurry ones, since no one's gotten a good picture of Mystique, and the security footage, and noticed that Mystique has a bracelet. Since Ladybug has earrings and Chat Noir has a ring, she figured all miraculous's are pieces of jewelry. And Mystique only wears a bracelet. Besides her suit and mask and ears and tail, of course," Michael adds, ducking his head as his face flushes.

"Oh look! There's Adrien!"

"What?! Adrien?" The three of us turn to see two girls standing further down the station. One casually waving, the other with flailing arms as she stares at us.

"Marinette, Alya, hey,"" Adrien greets, waving and smiling at them.

"He-Hey Adrien!" Marinette replies with a wave, one hand holding onto the strap of her purse. As the two walk over to our group. Wow. Three Kwamis in a five-foot radius and I'm the only one who knows they're all there. Strange moment. Like when you see two friends of yours who don't know each other walking past each other.
