Marinette had been finding it hard to ignore that almost everyone in her class were falling over in excitement over the tall tales that Lila had been spouting. Every attempt by her to point out the lies was just met with alienation from the classmates. Plus there was Lila swearing that she will turn everyone against her.

Only ones not swayed were Chloe due to jealous over Lila's attention and Adrien who thought that they should just leave it.

Well she was able to handle the Ladybug duties but recently she had to deal with the strangest adventure yet and that was saying something:

Early in the morning she learnt of a new Akuma from her text so she had transformed. However before she could go anywhere she was sucked into a portal that mysteriously appeared on her floor. It had taken her to a strange black void which was populated by just as confused versions of her.

Each of them was in a different outfit and costume but some looked identical and there were several identical looking Ladybugs. There were mutterings and whispers but then came a giant head who said this was a pocket dimension outside the multiverse and the being was an omnipotent watcher of the Multiverse called the Viewer.

Each of them was Marinette from a different universe and they were all summoned to save the multiverse from a villainous force called the Anti Viewer. To prove they were all alternate versions of the same person; practically all of them freaked out by the information and that there was an actual Multiverse out there.

Well after they had all calmed down; they had managed to work together and defeat the Anti Viewer.

Through talking and working together she got to know each of the different versions of herself from the different universes.

there was a Marinette who instead of the Ladybug Miraculous had one of the others that she had seen in Master Fu's case. Some even dual wielded and there were superheroes version of her without a Miraculous.

There was a Marinette who got the powers of Majestia and took up the mantle when Majestia died in battle. Alya would love to meet that one.

She got to know many of them; some of them dated their world's Adrien to her glee but others dated their versions of her classmates. Some had Luka as their boyfriend while a few had Max.

However what surprised her was a Ladybug who acted as a freedom fighter in a world where the Nazis won World War II (not a lot of o people wanted to know details) but hearing how everyone else's worlds turned out she became more determined to continue fighting back against the regime on hr world. She actually had her world's Hawk Moth as her mentor who Heroized brave citizens into Superheroes.

She got to know Black Feline; a version of her with the Cat Miraculous. She got to know this one as she was her partner in the group they were all split up in to cover different missions. She had been surprised to hear that her parents were still alive in her world. To her horror she learned they had died in a fire when she was younger in her world and gave her all the sympathies.

She took it in stride and they got to talk and Black Feline was stunned to hear her troubles with Lila. She explained the details and Black Feline jsut kept listening but when Marinette talked about Adrien and how nice he is; Black Feline surprised her by joking she actually finds it hard to believe he could be nice to her.

Well afterwards they were all given devices to allow them to travel to other worlds when their teamwork would be needed again. They returned and were told that not a minute had passed in their world due to the pocket dimension.

It was weird but she managed to get over it, especially when she remembered there was still an Akuma to fight.

In another Earth in her home of the Agreste Mansion; Marinette Dupain-Cheng-Agreste was looking at the latest design she had made. She pinned it up on her design board with a satisfied smile. Another design to show off to her foster father Gabriel Agreste.

She sighed at the framed photo of her with Gabriel; Emile and Adrien which was next to the last photo that had been taken of her with her biological parents

Losing her parents at the age she was the hardest and worst time of her life; she was thankful when the Agreste family took her parent. Gabriel and Emile were very welcoming if her and told them that she should not be compelled to call them Mum or Dad and would not be trying to replace her parents.

She was allowed to work in the kitchens to try the recipes that they had taught her; plus they were impressed with her talent and interest in design.

Adrien however never seemed to like her; he always seemed to be jealous of the attention she got from her talent.

When Emile disappeared; Marinette who already lost 1 mother grieved with Gabriel and wanted to bond with Adrien over their loss but he just snapped and told her to go away.

She had tears in her eyes but he just told her to leave her alone.

She just sighed at the thought and laughed at the sight of Plagg trying to break his record of how much Camberte cheese he could fit in his mouth. She had a day off from school and decided to call one of the alternate Marinette's and see how they were doing.

She decided to call one of them with the Ladybug Miraculous...

Walking up to the Agreste Mansion; Lila Rossi was welcomed in and went to the room to go see her best friend Marinette. She had moved into Paris and was afraid of how to make friends. At her old schools she tried to become popular with little lies but she got made fun of when her lies got exposed so she didn't want to try again.

However when she was lonely on her first day at school she actually found Marinette wanting to be nice to her. She told her she was scared of making friends since it didn't work out at her old schools but Marinette told if she wanted she could be her friends.

She was stunned and accepted it; she knew Marinette as the talented foster daughter of Gabriel Agreste and was all set to be his successor. She also turned out to be the nicest sweetest most clumsily adorable girl ever.

However she got suspicious when she made surprise disappearances when there were Akuma attacks and when the heroes Ladybug and Black Feline appeared. She managed to catch her in the act of transforming back and promised not to say anything.

She helped cover for Marinette when there were Akuma attacks and found Plagg quite amusing.

She was even told of the Crisis of Infinite Marinettes as she called it and the different versions of her she had met. She was surprised at the Ladybug one who was subtly being bullied and threatened by her Lila!

She was given details of the lies and stories she had made and it made Lila sick and want to punch herself in the mirror.

She walked up the stairs and glared past pretty boy model Adrien; she felt that Marinette gave too much attention to trying to be a good sister to the jealous jerk who didn't seem to want to do with her and she was not shy in letting Marinette know that. She insisted he jsut needed time.

Honestly how did dealing with Chloe bring out her petty side but dealing with her stupid foster brother was different; how patient was she in dealing with him?

She got to the room and saw Marinette talk to her device and it let out a message from the Ladybug Marinette saying she can't talk as there is an Akuma.

She then was about to go in and say hi to her best friend when Plagg suggested she go to visit Ladybug Marinette in her Earth. Marinette was not sure but Plagg said it could help the other one with her secret identity if she was seen when Ladybug is in action.

She sighed and decided to give it a try and then opened up the portal; Marinette freaked out when she saw a mannequin accident fell over and went to fix it.

Lila got a wicked grin as she got an idea; Marinette will probably kill her for this later but she felt it was worth it to help the other Marinette. It didn't matter if it wasn't her Marinette; she deserved better than dealing with the manipulative bully who shared her face, name and DNA.

She then sneaked in as Marinette was distracted bringing up the mannequin. she then jumped through the portal quickly.

She ended up at the school which looked close to the one she went through; she saw her target humming to herself with a wicked smile which made her mad. They were the only ones in the hall at the moment; probably everyone going to saftey over the latest Akuma.

The other Lila had her back turned and was about to walk past the open janitor's closet with the keys still there. She smirked to herself thinking this will be easier than she thought...
