The following morning, at Francois Dupont high school.
Barry Allen walks into the school courtyard and sees Adrien and the others talking to Alix.

Alix: And then, Ladybug, Cat Noir, and their new friend, The Flash, surrounded my old man,
took his akumatized object and de-evilized him.

Kim: Whoa!

Mylene: That's amazing.

Rose: Do you know who The Flash is?

Alix: No, but I do know he enlisted the help of this weird, speedster chick, called Time Warp, to defeat Archaeologist.

Barry walks over.

Barry: What's going on, guys?

Nino: Alix is filling us in on the latest Akuma attack that happened just last night. Apparently, a new superhero called The Flash, swooped in to help save the day, and Alix's dad.

Barry: A new superhero?
I wish I could have been there to see it myself.

Barry: Wait, how did you find out about the battle, Alix?
You weren't there, were you?

Alix thinks for a moment.

Alix: No, but I got the details of the battle from Ladybug.
She came to assure me that my old man was safe and unharmed.

Barry: Okay, cool.

Alya: Yeah, and get this. Ladybug and this Flash hero showed up at my house and gave me all the details of the battle!

Barry smiles contently as he watches the video of the interview, on Alya's phone.

Flash: "And thanks to Ladybug's leadership, we defeated Archaeologist and repaired the damage caused by him."

Alya: "That's so amazing."

Ladybug: "Please, you, Cat Noir, and Time Warp did the heavy lifting. I was just the distraction."

Flash: "Well, let's just say it was a team effort."

Ladybug: "Agreed."

As the video finishes Barry looks at Alya.

Barry: Man, that Flash certainly is, quite the character. Huh, Alya?

Alya: I know. Plus, my Ladyblog has never seen so many views! This is the best day ever! Marinette, you gotta see this!

As Alya runs to show Marinette the video, Adrien walks over to the group.

Adrien: Wow, I don't even know what to say about this.

Barry: What, the new superheroes showing up, or Alya's excitement?

Adrien: Both.

They both chuckle at Adrien's response.
Just before Barry can say anything else, he hears an ear-splitting shriek, coming from the group near Alya and Marinette.

(AAAAAAHHHHHH!)

As Barry and Adrien cover their ears, Barry looks up,
and sees Chloe Bourgeois screaming like a Banshee.

Barry rushes over to Chloe.

Barry: Chloe, what happened?!

Chloe looks at Barry.

Chloe: Sh-she, she's...

Chloe points towards Marinette with a trembling hand,
before covering her own mouth in shock.
Barry looks to see Marinette on her knees, holding her nose in pain, blood dripping from her hand. The group looks horrified.

But as Barry looks at Marinette, his face falls, a split-second flash shows Ladybug holding her nose and blood dripping in her hand, in Marinette's place. Before returning back to Marinette.

Barry quickly snaps out of it and kneels down next to Marinette.

Barry: Marinette, are you all right, what happened?!

Marinette: Ow. It's fine, my nose just started bleeding after I sneezed.

Alya: Girl, that looks serious!

He looks upward.

Barry: Where's the nurse's office?!

Sabrina, still in shock, points towards the door, and Barry walks Marinette to the office, her hand still holding her bleeding nose. Adrien watch them walk off, concerned.

Barry: When did you first start experiencing these nosebleeds?

Marinette: It was a couple of days ago. Come to think of it, it was the same day you arrived in Paris.

Barry suddenly looks shocked.

Marinette: It must have been when I tripped coming into class the other day.

Barry quickly relaxes his own expression and opens the door to the nurse's office.
