SEASON 4 - LUKANETTE

LUKANETTE S4 - EPHEMERAL - PT 3

Ladybug texts Viperion: "Meet me in the sewers in 30 minutes"

Viperion: "Will do"

Ladybug detransforms in secret and gives Tikki a macaron. She sighs.

'Now comes the painstaking task of getting 9 miraculouses back, Tikki.'

'A guardian's work is never done Marinette!' Tikki winks as she finishes her macaron.

'Tikki, spots on!' She texts all the heroes where to meet to hand back their miraculous.

In the sewers, Luka waits for Ladybug to return.

Ladybug runs up to him and smiles. 'Thanks, Luka—'

Ladybug reaches for Luka's hand, but Su-Han grabs her arm.

'This really takes the cake!' Su-Han cries.

Ladybug gasps. 'Grand Master Su-Han?'

Su-Han looked at her angrily. 'Ten! You used TEN Miraculouses to defeat a single villain, when Cat Noir could have just used his Cataclysm!'

Ladybug groans. 'I know! I had to; Cat Noir was missing!'

'What do you mean missing? You can't just let the holder of the most powerful Miraculous go about as he pleases! What if he started making his own decisions, or acting out? Like Shadowmoth!'

Ladybug scoffs. 'Cat Noir? Act like Shadowmoth? Wow. Aren't you blowing this out of proportion just a little?'

'Not at all. In fact, you should find out who Cat Noir really is, so you can have better control over him.' Su-Han replies.

Ladybug is shocked. 'What? No way! We can't know our true identities! It would be too dangerous if Shadowmoth got a hold of one of us!'

'I. Don't. Care!! Deal with this problem quickly, otherwise I will take back his Miraculous as soon as he shows a whisker! And I'll choose the new Cat Noir myself! Someone more reliable that this one!'

'Okay, okay, alright. What if you knew who he was, would that work?' Ladybug asks.

Su-Han sighs. 'I... I suppose so.'

'Ok, great! Luka knows who he is! He can tell you!' Ladybug says. 'But whisper it over there, I don't want to know!' She walks away and put her hands over her ears as well.

A few moments later, Luka puts his hand gently on her shoulder and she takes her hands off her ears and turns around.

'Did you tell him? Is he gone?' Ladybug asks.

'Yes, and yes. He wanted to know how I knew though. I told him I found out when we fought Wishmaker, but since I used my second chance power, I'm the only one who remembers. I think that impressed him, that I haven't used this knowledge for evil purposes. And that I protected his identity from Shadowmoth.'

'That's good. I'm glad he's okay with it!' Ladybug smiles, and hugs him.

In the Agreste mansion, in Adrien's bedroom, Adrien finally gets home and flops on his bed. Plagg zooms out of his jacket.

'I hope Ladybug didn't need me, Plagg.' He noticed he had a call from an unknown number but they didn't leave a message.

Suddenly, Master Su-Han leaps in through the window.

Adrien gasps. 'Grand Master Su-Han?'

'Why are you so surprised to see me, Cat Noir?' Su-Han replies.

'How did you find out my identity?' Adrien asks.
