Direct message between The_Blood_Son and Mouse Bug
The_Blood_Son
Mouse Sensei?
Mouse Bug
Ah
Uh
Bloodson?
Did you need something?
The_Blood_Son
I do, actually.
Mouse Bug
Oh, what is it?
The_Blood_Son
You think I am Robin.
Mouse Bug
Uh
I was going to talk to you about it
Eventually
The_Blood_Son
Well, I am simply telling you that you are correct.
Mouse Bug
Oh
Uh
Well
Good?
That’s super cool, I mean
Uh
Pun unintended
How did you find out that I knew?
The_Blood_Son
Double A informed me.
Mouse Bug
Oh yeah
That checks out
The_Blood_Son
He also informed me of your hero identities, under the assumption that since I didn’t know your real names or faces that it didn’t matter anyway.
Mouse Bug
Wait, so you know about us too??
The_Blood_Son
You’re Ladybug, yes?
Mouse Bug
I
I am, yeah
Darn it Chat
The_Blood_Son
Are you mad at him?
I suppose it makes sense.
Mouse Bug
I’m not as mad as I’d thought I would be, to be honest
It almost feels like a weight off
Pretty much all of my close friends in real life know
And are a part of my team
So having you know is actually a huge relief
I hate keeping secrets
The_Blood_Son
In this line of work?
Mouse Bug
I know, right?
I’m terrible at it too
The_Blood_Son
I can see that from you.
Mouse Bug
The only reason I haven’t blown everything about the War to the other team is the fact that we’re not in person
And the little challenge I’ve given myself of adding those emoticons to everything LadyPizza says
The_Blood_Son
Ah, yes.
Mouse Bug
I do wish Chat would have told me that he was telling you first though
I would have said yes, but it’s the principle of the thing
I consulted him before we told GB
The_Blood_Son
So Ghost Boy does know.
Mouse Bug
Yeah!
Wait
We’re the Paris Miraculous team
You’re the Bats
And the Ghost siblings are actual ghosts
You don’t think that all the secrets are out between The WDFJ Club, do you?
The_Blood_Son
Well, you still need to tell our Metropolis members about yourselves, and they need to tell you their secret, but other than that, yes.
Mouse Bug
Oh my gosh they’re the Superboys, aren’t they?
The_Blood_Son
Now all we need is for you to tell them about you, and all secrets will be out.
All big ones, anyway.
Mouse Bug
I really like the sound of that
My relationships with my team members became so much closer after we shared identities
We’re going to be absolutely unstoppable after this
The_Blood_Son
Indeed.

Direct message between The_Blood_Son and My Little Robot
The_Blood_Son
I understand that you already know this, but I feel I must tell you myself or it will annoy me forever.
I am Robin.
My Little Robot
To be perfectly honest,
I am glad you feel you can even tell me.
You could have never even bothered to adknowledge what I knew,
Given that you already know that I’m capable of keeping secrets.
The_Blood_Son
I may not speak to you one on one nearly as much as I do some of the others, but you’re still one of my teammates.
You’ve had my back before, in the battles.
Additionally, you have protected the entire team in conjunction with Babababs via your cyber security.
I trust you, and value your trust in return.
My Little Robot
I trust you too.
Thank you for trusting me, I know how valuable that is.
The_Blood_Son
I wouldn’t place my trust in anyone who didn’t understand its value.
Such a person would be an idiot.
My Little Robot
The same kind of idiot who gives trust out like candy, I suppose.
The_Blood_Son
The very same.
My Little Robot
I know some people like that.
I used to be numbered among them, until Ladybug managed to thin my thick skull.
The_Blood_Son
I’ll have to offer her my gratitude.
Even more, that is.
My Little Robot
Be careful about how you go about it, she’s not the best at handling compliments.
The_Blood_Son
How so?
My Little Robot
Give her a compliment when you next see her in person.
Then, you’ll know.
If we all do it at once, she’ll metaphorically implode.
It’ll be fun to watch.
She needs genuine positive reinforcement anyway, what with the state of things.
The_Blood_Son
I’ve never put much stock in that myself, but I’ll take your word for it.
My Little Robot
It works for her, so we do it.
Compliments have never quite worked on me either.
The_Blood_Son
Well in any case, once Mouse sensei informs the Metropolis people about you all, the entire WDFJ Club will know each other’s hero identities.
My Little Robot
That will be nice.
The_Blood_Son
I’m inclined to agree.

Groupchat - Hi Guys
<MouseBug added Notactuallyanerd to the chat>
<MouseBug added The Kon Man to the chat>
MouseBug
Hi guys
Notactuallyanerd
Mouse Sensei?
Why the groupchat?
The Kon Man
Yeah
It’s rare for you to so specifically grace us with your presence
MouseBug
Well
You guys are the only ones not in the loop
So I made a groupchat
To get you in the loop
The Kon Man
Okay?
Notactuallyanerd
What loop?
MouseBug
The secret identity loop, I guess
The Kon Man
Normally I’d tell you that I’m very much in the secret identity loop
But you’re the one talking to us
So now I’m not so sure
Notactuallyanerd
Mouse Sensei you’re in the secret identity loop???
MouseBug
As of yesterday, yeah
Babs left us enough hints to figure it out, and Robin told me himself this morning
The Kon Man
Oh so you’re really in the loop now
Can’t say I object
Notactuallyanerd
Does Ellie already know you know?
Is that why she’s been practically vibrating since last night?
MouseBug
Uhh
I don’t think we told her specifically?
But I can probably guess what she was vibrating about
Notactuallyanerd
What?
MouseBug
It’s what I’ve been trying to tell you!
Before we got sidetracked…
The Kon Man
Tangents are inevitable
As long as you get where you needed to go eventually
Tangents are just the spice to an otherwise uneventful conversation
MouseBug
I guess so?
Well anyway, we know your identities, and everyone knows about the Ghost siblings, but you guys don’t know about us
Notactuallyanerd
Us?
The Kon Man
What?
MouseBug
The Parisians in The WDFJ Club are part of the French Miraculous team
Notactuallyanerd
Really??!
The Kon Man
Oh no way
Good for you
Notactuallyanerd
So ALL of The WDFJ Club are heroes??
The Kon Man
Or hero adjacent, Ellie’s never been a hero
Notactuallyanerd
Good point
MouseBug
Yep!
And now
We all know about it
Wow
The Kon Man
We totally accidentally created a youth superhero team online
Didn’t we
Notactuallyanerd
Oh my gosh we did
MouseBug
And now I’m the de facto leader of two hero teams
If The WDFJ Club actually counts as a hero team, since we only fight your friends and family in an MMO
The Kon Man
Exactly
True Heroes
Notactuallyanerd
Wait, so if you’re the leader of the Miraculous team too, you’re Ladybug?
MouseBug
Oh, yeah
I knew I forgot something
Yeah, I’m Ladybug
The Kon Man
Wait lemme guess the others
MouseBug
Okay, be my guest
The Kon Man
Uhhhh
Oh frick I don’t actually know the Miraculous team all that well, hang on I need google-
Notactuallyanerd
Is My Little Robot Pegasus?
MouseBug
He is yeah!
Wow that was fast
Notactuallyanerd
Well
His username always reminded me of ‘my little pony’ and Pegasus is the horse themed one
So
MouseBug
I…
I never noticed that before
The Kon Man
Google tells me there’s a monkey one
Is that Double A
MouseBug
Actually, no!
King Monkey isn’t on the team at the moment
The Kon Man
Uhhhh
Is he the snake one?
Notactuallyanerd
Yeah, Viperion!
MouseBug
Nope!
Well, technically Kon is half right
He did use the Snake Miraculous temporarily, but he’s not Viperion
The Kon Man
Okay looking up snake users
Notactuallyanerd
That feels like cheating
The Kon Man
He’s not
There’s no way
Notactuallyanerd
What?
MouseBug
I always love this part
The Kon Man
He’s not the Cat boy, is he???
Sweet Double A, a player cat boy in a skintight leather suit????????
Notactuallyanerd
There’s
There’s no way
MouseBug
Third time the (lucky) charm, I guess!
The Kon Man
WHAT
NO
Those are not the vibes!
MouseBug
It took all of us a while to wrap our heads around it too
Notactuallyanerd
How does he do that??
MouseBug
I do not know
I wish I could
The Kon Man
Well he’s getting interrogated later
MouseBug
Oh yeah!
We were planning on talking about everything as a group in The WDFJ Club chat later
You can do that then!
Notactuallyanerd
I’ll go tell Ellie!
The Kon Man
What a huge F***ing coincidence
Notactuallyanerd
Language!
The Kon Man
The Ghosts aren’t here, I can do what I want
