(Master post)
(What if Fu didn’t send out the miraculous in origins?)
(C. The Hero initiative)
______________________________________________________________________
note the first section is also in 3a and 3b for the sake of consistency. But after that, there will be a shift.)
-Everyone at school was a buzz about Marinette. She had saved Paris
-The whole school was applauding her, asking for autographs. It was like she was famous. Alya of course was there to keep the piranhas off of her.
-When she got to Ms.Bustier’s class. Most of her classmates cheered. Telling her how awesome she is. Marinette couldn’t help but feel loved. Trying to down play it.
-Chloé was the only one not impressed.
-”So she sprayed a monster with paint, big deal. Anyone could have done that.”
-Kim was the first one to speak up. Telling Chloé to shut up. He would be a goner if it wasn’t for her and that blond.
-”Oh you mean Adrikins. He’s the real reason your safe. Mari-lame wouldn’t have been able to do anything without him there.”
-Marinette was confused, did Chloé know Adrien? Well, Adrien was apparently a model. Chloé does meet a bunch of famous people because of her dad, so its possible. But thinking that someone as sweet and kind as Adrien could be friends with Chloé. Didn’t seem realistic.
-Alya told Chloé to stuff it. Marinette and Adrien were both awesome. Alya gives Kim a smile, glad that he is defending her friend.
-A kid in a hoodie managed to slip inside the classroom. He was relieved. He removed his hood to reveal his face. It was Adrien.
-Chloé looked up. Eager to see her childhood friend. Ready to greet him. But Adrien took notice of Marinette and Side stepped Chloé to see Marinette.
-”So this is your class.” Adrien smiled.
-”Y-yea. What brings you here?” Marinette inquired.
-”Trying to go to school. Been homeschooled for most of my life. So I wanted to try actual school.”
-Chloé did get Adrien’s attention. Adrien apologized saying he was happy to see his friend.
-The class looked at Marinette. ‘Friend eh?’ they were thinking. Alya ships it.
-”Your friends with her now? No way, As your oldest friend I forbid it.”
-Everyone was shocked. Chloé had other friends aside from Sabrina.
-”If you were truly my friend, then you would accept my relationship with Marinette.”
-Thankfully Ms.Bustier showed up and calmed the class down. She had Adrien introduce himself to the class.
-He sat next to Nino (since it was the only open seat at the time.)
-Adrien made a fool of himself during attendance. Nino and him bond.
-Chloé tries to do the gum prank like in canon. But Adrien scolds chloé over it and tries to remove the gum from the seat.
-Unlike in Origins, Marinette doesn’t assume Adrien planted the gum and asks if he is trying to remove it. Adrien tells her He is and She thanks him. Both working to get the gum off the chair. Chloé is angry. and storms off in a huff.
-Ivan doesn’t go to school that day, after the whole kerfuffle, his parents wanted to make sure he was okay, he got questioned by authorities. He had no memory of what happened. So they deemed he was alright and that he should get some rest. (since the media made a bigger deal out of what happened.)
-Kim is also a bit more angry with Ivan almost killing him. But he heard that he didn’t remember doing that and he was sorry for what he did. Kim doesn’t hold a grudge about it, but he was still a bit of a jerk.
-Kim also thanks Alya for saving his bacon, and thinks she is pretty cool. Alya tells him its no big, and that Adrien and Marinette did more to save him. (Kim’s crush on Chloé shifts to Alya, the one who got him out of the net and saved his life.)
-Marinette and Adrien do get closer, Adrien finding out Marinette is into fashion and offers to let her come to a photoshoot. Which Marinette says she would love to.
_______________________________________________________________________
-The next few days were pretty peaceful in Paris, Marinette was still recognized as one of the brave teens and kids wanted her autograph, but thankfully she was able to handle it. Especially with Alya having her back, And Adrien offering to give her a ride to and from school.
-Gabriel had decided that perhaps it was best if Adrien attended public school. (since keeping him cooped up made him sneak out, But he needs to keep Nathalie notified of his location for the future. (Plus it would give Gabriel time to rethink his plan on how to get the miraculous. He needed time.)
-Adrien and Marinette continue growing closer despite Chloé’s best efforts to split them apart.
-Ivan did get back to school, but things were awkward for him. No one really blamed him for what happened. But they were watching him closely. (Especially Alya and Kim).
-Ms.Bustier asks both Adrien and Marinette to go to the Principal’s office.
-The two teens were curious on why they were being called. Adrien commented that maybe the Principal wanted to talk to them about what happened a few days back. See how they are doing.
-As they arrive at the office, Mr.Damocles is stern.
-”What I am about to tell you both is top secret. Something that even most of the higher ups in France do not know about.”
-Marinette noticed that the principal sounded different, more stern, less gruff. He even sounded younger.
-”You aren't the Principal, who are you?”
-Adrien was surprised by Marinette’s accusation. But even more surprised by the principal’s reaction.
-”You are even more observant then our reports detailed. Very perceptive Miss Dupain-Cheng.”
-They watched as the Principle shifted to a brown haired man in a black suit, with sunglasses covering his eyes. No facial hair. Asider from his garb, he looked rather unremarkable.
-”Call me Agent H. I will need you both to follow me.”
-He placed a Strange Key into a lock and turned it. The door’s outline began glowing. He opened it to reveal a lab.” (think doorman’s powers)
-Marinette and Adrien were both shocked to see this.
-”How did this fit in the school?”
-”We aren't in your school anymore. We are in a secret Lab. Our technology here is decades above what the masses are aware of.”
-Adrien and Marinette were both impressed with what they were seeing.
-”This is a well kept secret. So naturally you will not be allowed to tell anyone.”
-He leads the two into a room. Inside was a room with a young woman with silver hair, round glasses and a lab coat.
-”Children, this is Professor Silver. She will be in charge of telling you what is going on. So please, have a seat.”
-The Agent leaves.
-”Sorry for the rather curt treatment. We are very cautious here.”
-”Professor Silver, what is going on?” Marinette questioned.
- The professor explained that after the events with the rock monster. The French government has come to the startling realization of how unprotected it was against supernatural threats. We didn't feel the need to rush like some other countries in order to create superheroes.
-”So you are going to make heroes?”
-”In a matter of speaking yes.”
-”Based on your performance against that stone monster, we deduced that you two would be prime candidates the secret Heroes initiative. Code name Project Miraculous.
-”Why Project Miraculous?”
-”It was based on name of mystical items that are said to have impacted the history of humanity. This project will be a MIRACULOUS change for Paris.”
-Adrien felt is eyes go wide with wonder.
-”You are going to make us Heroes?!”
-”That is correct. You two will be the first wave of Parisian heroes.”
-Marinette of course had questions.
-”Why not have adults be the super heroes? Wouldn't it make sense.”
-”We considered that first. Turning one of our highly trained agents into a hero. But in truth, we would just be making super soldiers.”
-Professor silver moved closer to them.
-”We want to make heroes that care about the people in the cities they live in. Heroes that aren't just following orders. We want to inspire people and give hope. Thats what France needs.”
-Both Adrien and Marinette could understand where she was coming from. The point of heroes was to give hope to the people. Its also why the united heroes are barred from participating in any conflicts between countries.
-”You two are already heroes, we will just provide the ‘Super’ part you need.”
-Marinette normally would have been unsure if she would be a right fit, but Adrien was encouraging, and considering how they already beat one rock monster by themselves. That does wonders for one’s confidence.
-But they both wanted to know more before they just blindly agreed.
______________________________________________________________________
-Marinette and Adrien are told how if they agreed to this, that their identities would be a national secret. Not even the president would know.
-Their families (in the case of Marinette) would get a good amount of financial compensation. Education would be paid in full.
-They would also be taught rules and regulations that they would need to follow. Get training on how to use their super suits.
-”Super suits?”
-Professor Silver explained that they are creating super suits. Ones with abilities and powers they could use to fight future threats to Paris.
-The professor explained that they will be performing Neuroscans on the two to help develop the ideal hero moves and set up for them.
-Adrien was excited, Marinette asked if she could see what the suits that they were going to be given looked like. She was not impressed.
-”Can we alter the looks, they seem... kind of generic.”
-The professor smiled at that. They were both taking interests.
-”You will have full reign over your design.”
-Marinette smiled at that.
-”You will both be given Keys that will allow you to pop in and out of here when needed. They will only be able to be used by you so no worries if someone else gets it.”
