Marinette's POV
I had a lovely lunch with Chat and a good laugh when he thought he'd stolen my drink but actually drank Tikki's his disgusted face was priceless. At the moment I was getting ready to go out with the gang I had to rug up since in the past few days temperatures had dropped. I threw on a jacket and scarf along with a pair of gloves. I hissed whenever fabric touched my wrists. Darn, I almost forgot about the wounds. I had used my skin tone coloured bandages to wrap them up so I hardly noticed them. I couldn't tell if this was good or not. Not wishing to dwell on the thoughts I grabbed my handbag, Tikki and Adrien before making my way to Alya and Nino's room. Inside Nino was watching sport on the TV, Alya lay with her legs on his lap and her head hanging off the couch as she typed furiously on her phone. The Ladyblog, I guessed. Chloe was there too, she was filing her nails in the recliner sipping on a glass of water that held a delicate pink lipstick mark.
"You guys ready?" I asked making them all turn to me. Alya's phone continued to ping so she silenced it and Nino flicked off the TV. We all made our way out. We'd decide to have another go at dinner since we'd been called away last time. We ordered a taxi and got dropped off at a small restaurant not as extravagant as last time but cute none the less. Inside they only spoke Chinese so Adrien and I had to translate everything. I decided on pork dumplings and an odd marinated chicken. The others stumbled to pronounce something which Adrien and I found amusing in a twisted sort of way. After we were all full we decided to wander around sight seeing. The city was lit up and looked magnificent. Along the way I noticed them trying to discreetly feed their Kwamii and I followed suit when Tikki pinched me. Finnaly it was time to get home as it was ten. We tiredly trundled down the street at the hotel I noticed someone standing at the door. Stopping people who entered. Inside I noticed a set up metal detector and x-ray machine. They were checking people I noticed. I inspected their uniforms and noticed their emblems. I knew I'd get past unchecked since the reason they were here was to inspect people to keep me safe for tomorrow... the corenation. It had crept up on me so fast I almost forgot! Tomorrow... opps! I frantically typed a warning to the holders. The line thinned quickly. Alya held my hand and I felt the kwamii fly up my sleeve. Chloé did the same with just Pollen. I pulled open my wallet and flashed the guard my ID. He grunted and I passed through and strait under the metal detector. The others put their belongings in trays to pass through the x-ray and I was dismayed when the security guard forced them to take off their miraculous. They passed under the metal detector silently. An ear piercing beep broke the tense air.
"Their things aren't coming up on the screen!" The man behind the checking desk shouted from x-ray.
"What do you want us to do?" One of the men asked me.
"Let them through." I nodded stiffly. "They're good."
We hurried up the elevator when they gave us their belonings. I fidgeted as the kwamii shifted in my sleves. It was awkward enough having Tikki up there, but all of them? I pulled at the cuffs of my coat. Definitely not comfortable.
"Goodnight Chloe." I said stiffly. Hoping she understood that I'd bring Pollen over in a bit. She nodded slightly before smiling.
"Good night guys!" She then bound down the hall towards her room. I then quickly told Adrien I was going to hang out in Alya and Nino's room. We hurried into their room and I sighed in relief. That was way too complicated for my liking.
"Give me a second." I told them before wandering into the bathroom. I opened my coat and the kwamii flew out. I put Tikki and Pollen back in and stomped out into the living room holding the other kwamii.
"Whats wrong, Mari?" Alya asked seeing my angered expression.
"Your boy friend is what's wrong!" I growled. "Did you know he's not only spying on you but trading secrets?"
I brandished the kwamii in my left a hand. A tiny, black cat. "You told Chat Noir?"
Nino just froze and murmured an apology. This was unbelievable.
"Let me guess he put two and two together and knows my identity too!" Alya asked furiously.
"No." Nino reassured. "He has no idea."
"Calm down Alya." I warned her. Imeadiatly her features melted to calm as she took deep breaths. "Why do you have his kwamii, Nino?" I asked calmly.
"Kwamii sitting." He shrugged. I sighed and handed him, Wayzz and Plagg.
"I don't even want to know." I pet Trixx before handing her to Alya then left to give Chloe, Pollen.
