Endless chatter surrounded Ladybug on the roof of the Montparnasse Tower; it was akin to being a preschool teacher. Except, no pay, they’re all 16, and there was no chance stopping them. Ladybug lay against the flat concrete, staring up into the clear blue sky, and Chat sat next to her, brushing her hair out of her face gently. “As you know, we all defeated Monarch.” “All is a bit of an overstatement,” Rooster Bold said. King Monkey ignored him. “I believe we deserve some time to connect with the heroes that helped each and every one of us,” he continued. “Which is why,” he stopped, holding a finger up, “I suggest we play a team bonding game.” “What, like Mafia?” Bunnix suggested excitedly. “How about Charades?” Polymouse asked enthusiastically. “I have an idea,” Viperion piped up in his usual, calm voice. Somehow, it managed to pierce through the chatter, and everyone stopped protesting. “Truth or Dare,” he said. Ladybug’s shoulders sagged. “That’s not gonna end well, Viperi-” “YES!” “Woohoo!” “See? Viperion always has the best ideas.” The team broke into hurrahs and hollers, and Marinette was promptly interrupted the moment she started. She wondered how the most powerful group of individuals in Paris had become this. Ladybug clearly wasn’t in charge anymore, but she supposes that’s the definition of a team.
