This has been extremely well received. I guess that's what I get for writing stories in an active fandom…

As always, Disclaimer. I'm simply playing in someone else's sandbox.

It Was Kinda Obvious; Chapter 2

Set during the events of Horrificator (spoilers for English viewers! Just skip to the next one if you want)

Nino was freaking out in so many ways right now.

First, the school was under attack from what was probably another Akuma. So, just a normal level freak out.

However, it just so happened that this particular Akuma was attacking in the middle of filming for his big movie. He couldn't catch a break. First, his main character goes missing, then Alya doesn't like his script additions (romance in horror films is pretty much required!), and now the entire school is covered in some kind of slime.

However, at least something is looking up.

"Is everything ok?"

The speaker was the reason for freak out number two: "Ladybug in MY movie? This is legit!"

Yes, there she was, on HIS camera, being filmed for HIS production. She was saying something about evacuating, but honestly, Nino wasn't really paying attention. He was more concerned with keeping her in focus on his camera. However, someone spoke up behind him that dragged his attention back. Cue freak out number three.

"Easier said than done, Ladybug".

Chat Noir.

In HIS MOVIE.

"Double legit!" Nino couldn't believe his good luck. France's famous super-heroes, appearing in the film that HE was making. There was no way that his film wouldn't get chosen now.

"I tried to cut through the goo, but it's no good. Totally indestructible. So, looks like we're trapped inside the school for now". Chat Noir kept talking, but something he said penetrated Nino's haze of legit-ness.

We're trapped inside the goo?

So, if Chat Noir couldn't get out, how did he and Ladybug get in to begin with?

Unless… they were already inside the building?

Just like that. Nino's jaw dropped, though his hands holding his camera remained steady. One simple clue. From there, it was totally obvious.

Hence Nino's fourth, and biggest freak out of the day. Forget the Akuma rampaging through the building. Forget that he and his classmates were in terrible danger. Forget his… well, maybe not his film. But he had just cracked Ladybug and Chat Noir's identities.

Totally legit.

Set during the events of Copycat:

Nothing made you feel more alive than a chase scene. The wind whipping through your hair, the feel of rooftop shingles on your feet, the sounds of helicopters and sirens right behind you…

Yeah, it was a great time to be alive.

Chat Noir was secretly enjoying himself. Yes, it was a major problem that he had been framed and was now on the run from the entire Parisian police force, but nothing in the world compared to the feeling he got as he basically flew over the rooftops of his city. Up here, he could do whatever he pleased. He could be whoever, and do whatever he wanted.

"Give yourself up, Chat Noir!"

Of course, what he wanted to do right now was get rid of these cops and track down his imposter. All he needed was…

There! A subway entrance, right where he needed it.

With a horde of police cars right on his heels, Chat Noir dove down the stairs leading to the subway station. Behind him, he heard the squeals and crashes of a multi-car pileup as the police all tried to stop at the same time. He winced a little; hopefully no one had been seriously hurt.

However, the crash up top gave him the purrfect opportunity to escape. All he had to do was de-transform and come whistling out of the subway entrance across the street. No one would be the wiser.

"Hey! There he is, across the street! He's got the same hair!"

"Isn't that Adrien Agreste?"

"Oh my goodness! Adrien Agreste is Chat Noir!"

Oops. Maybe he should have thought this out a little bit more. Well, time for another chase scene.

Bonus ending:

"Hey, Agreste! You're under Arreste!"

Alternate ending:

However, the crash up top gave him the purrfect opportunity to escape. All he had to do was de-transform and come whistling out of the subway entrance across the street. No one would be the wiser.

With a flash of light, Chat Noir was gone. In his place, Adrien Agreste stood.

Looking at the horde of Parisians who were now looking at him.

Why had he ever thought that the subway would be deserted?

Set during the events of The Puppeteer, The Evillustrator and Kung Food.Again, massive spoilers for English-only viewers. (I can't really take credit for this entire idea; this has been pointed out online by several others at this point. By the way, the chronology for this idea is that Kung Food is after the events of The Puppeteer:

"Alya said you needed someone who spoke Chinese to translate, so here I am!"

"No! I mean, yes! I mean, how did you know where I lived?"

"Oh, you've told me before".

"Huh? No I haven't."

"Sure you have! It was in the sub-"

"…Adrien? Are you ok?"

Earlier

"Your dolls? Ok, where do you live?"

"Number 12, Gottlieb Street."

"Noted. I'll take care of this; you just leave this to Chat Noir!"

Present

"Adrien?"

"Uh, no! You didn't tell me in the subway! Nope! Definitely not me! You told me-"

Earlier

"Her name is Marinette. Really cute, isn't she? The Evillustrator is in love with her, and promised not to harm Chloé as long as Marinette comes to his birthday party."

"Got it, Ladybug, but what about you?"

"I'm going on… a very important secret mission. Anyway, her address is…"

Present

"Uh, no! You didn't tell me during the whole Evillustrator thing either!"

"Wait; the subway? The Evillustrator? I didn't tell my address to you those times, I told them to Chat No-"

"Wait, you didn't tell Chat Noir during the Evillustrator; that was Lady-"

"…"

"…"

"Hey, Chat."

"Hey, Ladybug."

I'm trying out different writing styles. "All dialogue" is hard, but I think I made it even harder than it needed to be.

Anyway, please review, if only for typos. Or ideas about other times their identities were kinda obvious.
