Ladan: so I really was not prepared for this intro

Eric: and why is that? *crosses arms*

Ladan: *shoulders slumped in disappointment and mutters* I forgot

Eric: *teases* what was that? I couldn't hear you.

Ladan: I forgot okay. Everyone forgets

Eric: not you

Ladan: *whispers softly* you'd be surprised

Adrien's POV

"Welcome, to my secret basement." Ladan says as she moved out of the way so we could get a better view. It was about the size of the entire cabin. One of the longer walls, was a long wall of books. That was a lot of books, let me tell you. I think they were ordered by subject or level of importance or something. There were labels but it was a bit away and hard to see. There was one or two columns of shelves filled with newspaper clippings and mumbo jumbo. We were on one of the long sides next to a short wall that had a desk with laptops and computers with folders and other stuff. The other side on the entirely opposite side of the basement had a lounge with a couch, a few chairs, a coffee table in the middle, a projector, and a small kitchen off to the side. For some reason, on the coffee table, there was a large pitcher of water and no cups for it, weird.

"This is amazing, how did you build this?" Mari asked as we all stood up in wonder and looked around.

"I simply asked Nyssa and Leo to help me with this earlier this summer since my room was full of important yet useless junk. They just don't know what I used it for." Ladan laughed maniacally. "Nyssa was happy to help but Leo owed me a favor for saving his relationship with Calypso that one time....." She trailed off.

"We are the only ones who can know about this" Eric said. "It's soundproof and pretty deep underground so scream as loud as you want."

"Can you explain to me why there are computers and tech stuff? I thought they blew up around demigods." Alya questioned.

"That's a thing for the old demigods. Our kind, as the new wave of miraculous holders, are immune to it because of this certain part of them that alters our DNA and allows you to transform." Ladan says. That was interesting. "So, is there anything you'd like to know? Lets go sit in the lounge and we'll answer any of your questions."

We all walked all the way to the couch and I sat down next to Nino on the couch. Alya sat on Nino's other side and I pulled Mari on to my lap. Eric and Ladan sat on couches on the sides of the table next to us.

Ladan's POV

"How long have you had your miraculous?" Marinette asked. "How did you get them?"

"Should I explain or should you?" I asked Eric.

"You answer the first, I'll explain the second." He replied.

"Deal," I said and started to explain. "It all started a little after the winter Zeus got angry since someone stole his master bolt." (basically the early February before the Lightning Thief) "I had recently turned 10 and little kid Eric with the long hair and My Little Pony jacket was 9" I started to tease.

"You said you'd never tell that to anyone!" Eric shouted at me which I ignored.

"How did you get them?" Mari repeated.

"We got them by being awesome!" Eric starts as I flicked my finger at my bestie as water shot out of the pitcher on the table. If you were wondering what that was for... that was why it was there. "Fine, Ladan forced me into this 'save the beach' club-thing and Master Fu found us and gave us the miraculous." Eric rolled his eyes.

Hey! Saving the beach was important to me and as a friend, he should've at least tried to be into it. I know what you're thinking, 'hey, you seem like a earth-loving vegan hippie who just wants to hug trees and stuff'. Haha, you're hilarious, but I'm not like that, I love fish, steak, but for some reason that I shall not think about it but I don't like chicken. I do care about the ocean but only because I had many friends there. (yes, they were fish and water mammals, pus a few turtles) Why am I saying this in my head again? Oh yes, just to remind myself to make sure I don't come off as an earth-loving hippie.

"Ok, how did you know what we were on our second day here?" Adrien asked.

"Easy, Fu had asked us to visit Paris 3 years ago to help find you. It just didn't click until late last night." I said. "I think better at night, that's why I thought you looked familiar."

"Thank the gods that we did visit Paris when we did, otherwise we would have been caught up in the Titan War." Eric said.

"I would've had to witness one of my favorite ships die as well as soo many other people we came to love." I said as I felt the tears coming. I started weeping and stuttering. "p-poor S-Selina, Charles-s-s,  Eth-an, lu-uuu-uke!" I then started counting off every character (named) that I've heard about, met, and just who were probably never coming back in general. "B-ianca! Zoë, and Michael, Bob and Damasen, and Millard!........"

Flashback to 3 years ago after the Titan War

I stopped our boat on the sand, Eric and I just got back from doing business in Paris. I parked  the safest form of travel possible for demigods, a boat. It took a lot of energy to get us across the Atlantic in 3 days. I checked my phone since no one was around and looked at the date.

August  20, 8:30 pm

Shit! I had wanted to get back for my brother's birthday but I missed it. I had brought him back a present...actually I had brought everyone back a gift. I got Percy a blue béret and a marinière (a long sleeved jersey). Annabeth got a mini silver replica of the Eiffel Tower and a book on the history of the most famous structures in Paris. I got Grover some stuff but I can't remember the fancy name for it. I got Selina a Louis Vuitton handbag because I know she's always wanted one. The other Aphrodite's got perfumes and silk scarves. The Hephaestus and Ares kids got French knives. Herbs and spices for cabin 4, I didn't know what to get the Apollo cabin so I got them French candies and sweets. I bought extra of those since I didn't get Hermes anything so they could think they stole the candy from me. I got a few other things for special friends as well. Luckily, Eric and I had decent paying jobs for our age and could afford it. But we also got certain discounts. Yes, most knew of my trip as a vacation, but it was actually work. I spent two whole weeks there with Eric and 1 week to get there and back so 3 weeks in total.

"Eric, grab those items and lets go. Everyone should be at the bonfire." I said as we grabbed our load of stuff and went to the cabins. I stored our clothes in my room and brought the gifts to the campfire.

"You ready?" Eric asked as we walked and I nodded.

"Hey everyone! We're back from Paris and we brought gifts for everyone!" I shouted and everyone looked our way. That was when I saw the fire was a soft blue and not everyone was there. I took a look at everyone's faces and my face dropped...something must've happened.

"What? does no one want our gifts? we spent good money on these to make sure every cabin got something and all our thanks is sad faces?" Eric shouted, being completely oblivious as always. I nudged him to stop as Annabeth and Percy came over and pulled us aside.

"What happened in the last three weeks?" I asked. Annabeth looked at Percy and then they took turns to tell the story of what happened. I made sure they didn't leave anything out anything, even the stuff Percy didn't tell Sally and never would. When they were finished, all four of us were crying, I could even hear Llea and Aquaa faintly weeping in a purse I bought for myself.

After we all calmed down, I handed them the gifts I got them. "Happy late birthday big bro, I got you these. And Annabeth, I got you this replica and a book on famous Paris structures, thought you'd like them. Percy, can you give this to Grover next time you see him?"

"Thanks." They both said and hugged us.

"Now what am I going to do with Selina's purse? She really wanted one." I slumped my shoulders.

"Maybe give it to Lacy, she was recently claimed when you left and she misses Selina the most. Even though she barely knew her, she still looked up to her sister. I think it would mean a lot to her if you gave it to her." Percy said.

"Since when did you become so smart? Last I checked you were still a kelp head" Eric asked my brother as he crossed his arms.

"So, you guys finally got together?" I asked and they nodded. "Ok, Eric? You wanna go deliver these to the other campers?" We then left and gave all the campers their stuff except Hermes cabin. I then finally got to the bottom where the purse was. I walked over to where Lacy was and sat down quietly next to her. "Hi, I know you don't know me yet since I hear you were claimed as I was gone but my name's Ladan. You're Lacy right?"

"Haha, yeah." she said as she pushed a loose strand of hair back.

"I heard you think highly of Selina. I just got back from 3 weeks on a trip to paris and was going to give her this...but seeing as she's........umm.....dead...would you like to have it?" I asked as her face lit up.

"Really? Me?" She asked and I nodded and gave her the bag. Only then did I notice the sweets I saved for the Hermes kids to steal were gone, Travis and Connor must've already gotten to it. "Thanks, I don't really have any friends here and I didn't know that anyone knew me."

"Well, then I will be your first friend and I know that I can help you get more." I said and she said she wanted more friends. "How about I introduce you to one of the kinder of your siblings, his name is Mitchell and I think you two would get along just fine." I then walked with her over to her brother and introducing them, knowing instantly that they would be great friends and help each other out.

End of Flashback

"NO! Don't go back to thinking about them! They had died so we could be here today and live freely and mostly in peace." Eric panicked, reaching his arm across the table, trying to get me to calm down. I usually try not to let my mind drift back to the wars and sad moments I heard stories of, like when Percabeth fell in Tartarus and no one could help them! I couldn't even see them with my powers.

"Ladan! Ladan, snap out of it! That was at least a year ago! No deaths have happened since then." I could hear a voice in the back of my mind, most likely still coming from Eric. I decided to listen to the voice and forget about the wars for now. I knew the memories would be back, they always appeared sooner or later.

I snapped out of my trance, just realizing that I was rocking back and forth in the fetal position in my chair with Eric comforting me. "Thanks, you big softy."

"Good, you're back to normal." Eric said and moved back to his seat.

"So as I was saying, we visited Paris right before Hawkmoth started releasing his evil akumas ag-"I stopped myself from finishing the sentence. Eric knew what I was about to say and tried to change the topic.

"Next question?" He said.

"Are there other miraculous?" Marinette asked.

"Uh..I..ahhhh....." I froze.

"Come on dudez, you said you'd answer all of our questions" Nino whined.

I sighed. "Yes, there are other miraculous. Other than the obvious Ladybug, black cat, fox, turtle, bee, moth, there are also the dolphin, lion, peacock, and sparrow. At least, they are the only active ones.

"Which ones are you and can we see you transform?" Adrien asked.

"Only if you transform along with us." Eric said and we all agreed and stood up.

"Tikki spots on!"

"Plagg claws out!"

"Trixx tails up!"

"Wayzz shell on!"

"Aquaa fins on!"

"Llea mane fluffed!" We all shouted in unison. Eric's and my costumes appeared and we slumped back in our chairs.

"Soo... they still have to go through the transformation sequence?" I asked as I played with my now light blue hair.

"Uh huh," Eric replied as he picked at the dirt between his nails.

"We need to start their training tomorrow right away." I said as I finished braiding the strand of blue hair I had in my hand.

"Yep." Eric said. Not 15 seconds later, they completed the sequence and looked at us in our sitting and lounging around state.

"How did you...you were standing just a moment ago." Alya said, very confused.

"Training" Was all Eric said.

Adrien's POV

"You were the miraculous this morning!" I shouted in astonishment.

"Oh, what magic hair products can do to your appearance." Ladan said. "In this form I am known as Delphine."

"And like this I'm known as Leon" Eric/Leon said. "What are your superhero identities?"

"I'm ladybug, my boyfriend is the sexy Chat Noir, Alya's Volpina, and Nino is the turtle dude" Mari says as she puts her elbow on my shoulder confidently. I started to laugh and Alya joined in. Turtle dude was a little running joke we shared. Nino hates the nick name we gave.

"Dudez! My name's Jade Turtle and these dumbos call me the 'turtle dude' for some obnoxious reason!" Nino complained. Seriously? He hasn't figured out why we call him that yet?

"Yeah ok, Jade Turtle is too long...I'm going to call you JT instead." Ladan said which just made Nino a bit angrier. Dude, if he didn't want to be made fun of for his name, he shouldn't have named himself that.

"How did your hair change colors change when you transform?" Alya asked. Now that I think about it....

"Aphrodite's trends came in handy." Eric said. I could hear Ladan mutter "For once" but it was barely audible, even with my advanced hearing.

"A few weeks back, Aphrodite sent 3 of her kids on a quest for a new hair product she wanted. When they came back about 2 weeks later, Aphrodite said she was over it and her kids could do what they wanted with it." Ladan started and Eric took over.

"Cabin 10 decided they would sell it for $5 to get it done and you could buy portable containers for $7. One day, during an akuma attack, the campers started becoming suspicious that Delphine and Leon looked like Ladan and I."

"So I decided to put the hair product on while transformed. Turns out it only appears when we're transformed so that fixed our problem of people finding out." Ladan finished. Did that mean we had to change our hair as well?

"Ok, that's cool but I am NOT putting some magic hair product on my purrincess's purrfect hair!" I shouted and pulled my Purrincess closer and a bit in front of myself. I nuzzled my face into the crook of her neck and detransformed, probable blinding one person or another with the bright green light. I sat down, still with my face nuzzled in the back of her neck. I started smelling her wonderful vanilla scent. Everyone else detransformed along with me.

"Chaton, are you smelling my hair?" The Purrincess questioned.

"Mmmmm....you smell amazing bugaboo." I said unconsciously.

"Chaton, you know that's the only nickname I don't like." She said. I whispered a sorry and sat her down next to me. I still didn't let go of her as she detransformed and snuggled against me.

"So, can we now ask you a few questions of our own?" Ladan asked. We all agreed that it was only fair since she answered all of ours.

"What powers do your miraculous give you?" Eric asked.

"Oh that's easy," I said. "I got bad luck/destruction, M'lady here got luck/creation, Nino has protection, and alya got the power of trickery." I said.

"Didn't you tell me that all miraculous were going to be released in groups of 5 Ladan?" Eric asked.

"Yes, her name wa-how did you know?" Alya said as she became super suspicious.

"I'll tell you later, just explain." Ladan comanded.

"Her name's Chloe, she used to be a bitch but she changed a few years ago for the better. She holds the bee miraculous and has the power of multiplacation " Alya continued. "For some reason, she wasn't supposed to come to camp and master Fu never explained as to why."

"Fu always liked a bit of mystery in what he does." Ladan said.

"She's going to help train another group of miraculous. He thinks he did soo well on you 5 after our-our time in training." Eric said. It seemed as he was about to say something different but caught himself. I decided that now was not the best time to ask about it. Just then, Aquaa flew in front of us.

"Where are the other kwamis?" She asked.

"I think that they were in my bag last..."Mari said as she looked in the bag. I peeked in as well. "And they're asleep."

"Guys, wake up and say hi." I said and nudged the bag, shaking all but Plagg awake. Tikki flew up with Trixx on her tail as Wayzz tried to wake Plagg.

"Hello, my name is Tikki" Tikki waves.

"Trixx"

"I'm Llea, but everyone knows that," Llea says with a bit too much pride.

"Last I checked, you were a human." Plagg says as he wakes and flies out with Wayzz. "Now, where's my chese?"

"Here you go" Mari and I say in sync, each holding a piece out to him.

"Thanks kid, by the way, that girlfriend of yours is definately a keeper." plagg says as he grabs both pieces of cheese.

"Wow Plagg, Adrien and I have been dating for 2 and a half years now. I didn't know you were so fond of me until now." Marinette giggles softly. I just love her angelic laughs.

"Hello my mast-Nino's new friends." Wayzz says.

"I guess your holders haven't trained hard enough to be human yet?" Llea brags.

"Llea! Be kind. they've only been miraculous for less than 3 years, it took Eric 5 years for you to acheive human." Aquaa said. Llea crossed her arms and shut up. How did they become human anyways? "Ignore the lioness, she's too prideful."

"If you guys train hard enough for 4-5 years, you'll be stong enough for us to be able to turn into our human forms." Tikki says, explaining alot.

"Tikki, you're soo smart. Any kwami would be lucky to be with you." Plagg flirts.

"Yes, and she needs a wise kwami to compliment her own brains" Wayzz retorts. Not again. I rolled my eyes.

"I bet my kid is stronger and will get me human first! I don't have to be smarter when I can be stronger." Plagg says.

"My masters have always been the wise ones. And brain always beats brawn!" Wayzz brags.

"My holders were always stronger and more famous then your good for nothing wise 'masters'."Plagg boasts.

"Guys, stop this please!" Tikki shouts in her cute little voice.

"Tikki is mine!" Wayzz yells.

"No, Tikki's mine!" Plagg shouts.

"What's going on?" Eric shouts.

"Shouting is fun!" Trixx shouts and takes everyon's attention as we all laugh. Trixx becomes the one to explain to Eric and Ladan what was going on. "Wayzz and Plagg are bestfriends, but they both are in love with Tikki. They fight over her everytime they're all together. That's why we usually try to keep them seperate or far from Tikki."

"Wow, I never expected Trixx to be the one to explain anything." Alya said.

"You guys do know it's Tikki's choice right?" Aquaa asks. I agree, it was all Tikki's choice.

"Yes, so who do you like? Me.." Plagg asks.

"Or me?" Wayzz finishes. Tikki looked between the two male kwamis as she chose. It looked like she was having trouble. Mari noticed this as well and softly pulled tikki in between us.

" I know you have always been the one to give me advice, but now it's my turn to return the favor." Marinette whispered quietly so only we could hear. "Whoever you choose, go with your heart and gut, then everything will work out. Adrien will make sure the two won't murder each other out of jealousy, won't you babe?"

"I will?" I woke up from the trance I was in. It was so sweet to see them care for eachother so much, unlike my relationship with Plagg. "Oh, yes. I promise that they will never murder each other."

"Thanks Marinette, i think I know what to do and who to choose now." Tikki says as Mari let her go and flew back in front of the boys who just floated around awkwardly. When they saw her coming back, both their faces lit up with hope and joy.

"So tikki, who do you like the most?" Plagg asked.

"You know, for as long as we have lived, things change. Maybe in a hundred years or so from now, I'll change my mind again. But I need you to promise me that you won't try to kill eachother for now." She said and they nodded in agreement. "Ok, so I choose-"

Beep! Beep! Beep! it was a soft beeping sound coming from somewhere in the room.

"What was that?" I asked as Ladan and Eric ran over to the desk and opened up the laptop. We all followed and crowded around. It imeadiately flickered on and showed a red blinking light in the corner. Ladan moved the attatched mouse and clicked on it. That brought up 2 live videos side by side, one of inside Ladan's room where one bed was missing and replaced with a deep hole. the other showed just outside the door where someone was knocking pretty hard on the door. As realization dawned on Ladan's face, she slamed the laptop shut and jumped on the bed.

"Eric, lets go up! You guys stay here and do whatever you want. Just don't turn on the computer or laptop. You don't want to see what's on them." Ladan said as Llea pushed her whole body against a button on the desk. It moved the bed back up with Ladan and Eric on it. Llea and Aquaa let us do whatever except touch the desk but they wouldn't explain why either.

Ladan's POV

I was rising up in my bed with Eric and once it was completely back in place, Eric moved to the other bed to not draw attention to why he was on my bed. I got up and rushed to the door.

"Yes Kaden, What chu want?" I asked.

"Correction, it's 'what do you want'. I expect more from a legacy of Athena." He corrected.

"Yeah yeah, what do you want Kaden?" Eric asked.

"Well, hello to you too Eric." Kaden peeked his head in and waved. Eric waved back in return.

"No seriously, what do you want? We were kinda in the middle of something important."I stated seriously.

"Now, is that any way to treat your twin?"
