Marinette DuPain (143) has posed:
Another beautiful spring day in New York City. On top of this, its the weekend! That means things at the Dupain Bakery and Patasierre are in full swing. Tom Dupain, The owner and head chef of the place has been busting his butt since about 3 this morning. He knew to expect a much larger turnout today. As such, there is a boat load of preped inventory and it is Moving! People are coming in almost too fast for him to keep up.

His wife, Sabine Cheng has been up just as long. She's been working just as hard on some of the more casual prep including coffees, muffins, cupcakes and so on. She is happily doing her best while manning the cash register.

Finally, the third wheel, Marinette Dupain-Cheng happens to be helping to get a few orders. She's all over the place but her mind is completely elsewhere. Specifically on the fact that the boy of her dreams being in New York!!! *sighs* Adrien. Quietly she keeps going as she is completely distracted. Then, without warning, she trips! Right over a small power cord and promptly falls on her face. "Ow!"

Invisible Woman has posed:
    As part of the people coming into the Bakery, Susan Storm-Richards walks in with two children in tow. The two children consists of a young boy who has blonde hair, and a young girl with the same. Of course, the girl is the first one into the bakery and has her face pressed up against the glass. "Valeria." Sue says with a sigh. "You know you're not supposed to press your face against the glass. Plus you're in people's way." She says picking up the little munchkin and holding her in her arms.

"Mom? Isn't this the bakery that Mister Grimm passed by the other day?" the boy says. "Yeah, Franklin. I figured we could get a few things for us as well as him. He'd appreciate it, I think." She says softly to the boy. While the girl is looking at all of the pastries and cakes......and saying 'I want' while trying to point at all of them.

Raven has posed:
    Rachel is the kind of girl who attracts a second glance most places for being weird (super pale skin that kind of looks gray because of all the black she wears; red gem on her forehead; black lips; studded dog collar; combat boots), but in New York, people just don't care. That suits her fine. She's not interested in pastries, her diet doesn't include butter, but she has a little bit of money to spend these days from the Headmistress and she heard you can usually get tea at a bakery, so that's what she's come to get. She has a big mug of steaming water in one hand and a saucer with some tea bags and lemon in the other when the slightly younger teen next to her crashes face-first. Reflexes quick and face impassive, Raven skips back to let her land. It seems heartless, but the option involves spilling boiling water on the girl on top of her falling, so what's the point in that?
    And anyway, Rachel isn't totally without sympathy. While Marinette is complaining on the ground, Rachel sets her mug down on the counter and offers a hand. "Here," she explains in a voice that creaks like the rusty gate at a haunted house.

Captain America has posed:
     Out front of the bakery a loud motorcycle roars down to a stop. On the back of the bike is a man dressed in a thick black motorcycle jacket and matching helmet. He's dressed to the ears in gear for a day out riding about the town, Thick leather gloves pulled off to be thrown right into the side pocket of the bike.

     Pulling off his helmet long blonde hair flows fourth, his bright white smile of pure white teeth catching a glint of the sunlight on those chiseled features. Deep baby blues look right into the bakery, as he kicks down the kickstand and makes his way to the bakery a fresh spring in his step.

     Without looking behind himself Rogers tosses his helmet over his shoulder, causing it to land right on the handle of the bike, before swishing round the strap a few times.

     He pulls up the wrist of his thick leather jacket, looking down to that rather simple class ring, and the military watch. A bit of fiddling is done as he stands right by the entrance of the bakery.

     "I've got time for a bite." Said with a confident smile as he shoves the sleeve back down covering his wrist.

     His hand goes back up to the side of his head just for a quick moment. "Heading for a cup, still on schedule for the drop," before he just walks right in through the door, a deep breath of fresh air filling his lungs.

Marinette DuPain (143) has posed:
The Baker looks at the little girl with her nose pressed tight against the display case. "Its quite alright. Could I interest your young ones in some brownies? Mrs. Cheng made them earlier." He slides them on top of the counter toward Sue. The man has a thick french accent giving a very clear view of where he is from.

Mrs. Cheng is quite content to be serving up some tea. After all, she doesn't get to serve tea so often as it seems most new yorkers like their coffee. She gives a little smile to Rachel, "I hope you enjoy this. May I interest you in some biscuits?" She holds out a tray of tea cookies.

Marinette looks up and accepts the hand offered to her, "Merci Beaucoup." She states as she stands up. "Bonjour! My name is Marinette. Thank you for the hand." SHe smiles a little and quickly picks up her boxes that fell down. "I was sorta day dreaming." She winces a little and just smiles. "I hope you are enjoying everything." She comments softly. Then her eyes fall on Sue. "OH! You're Sue Storm-Richards! I heard about you on the news!" She smiles a little.

Invisible Woman has posed:
    "That's me, yes." Sue manages to say softly over top of a cry of 'BROWNIE! YES YES YES!' from Sue's daughter. "I guess we can get three brownies at least, and a Cake for Ben. Don't bother cutting it, ben has trouble with normal utensils." She then sighs before looking to Marinette. "Yeah, I'm on the news a lot. They usually want to see Johnny, but I have to be damage control with that hot-head. Ben's......considered a monster by some people, just by his looks, but he's really a teddy bear. he tries to hard, but when when little kids scream at the sight of him...it hurts....a lot. Then there's Reed. I have to drag him out of his lab most times."

She then shakes her head. "I guess venting must be my nature. This is Franklin and Valeria. I'll pay for them." She then looks to Raven and.......tilts her head. "That is.....strange." She says looking at Raven a little closer. "How come your skin is grey? Discoloration?" She even adjusts her glasses.

Raven has posed:
    That soft comment seems a little odd--was that tone apologetic? Flirtatious?--and Rachel's tempted to pursue it, but before she can, Marinette's attention is drawn to the celebrity. Of course. It threatens to be disappointing, but Rachel just files it away to process later, at a safer time and place than in public. She collects her tea cup, glances over the world's most famous mother, and remembers just in time not to answer that question with a shrug while carrying near-boiling water in her hand. "It just looks that way because of my clothes," she explains. "Like how your hair looks more blonde because of the blue."

Captain America has posed:
     Cap Makes his way further into the building, finding a nice place to set by the window. Just a few drinks couldn't hurt could it? His thick leather boots clatter out against the ground as he's still fully dressed for a day of riding the roads of the country between operations.

     Taking off his jacket to set on the back of the chair he reveals his Brooklyn Dodgers T-Shirt, faded and worn certainly but it does the job, showing off the massive muscles, and his concealed carry holster just in case something goes wrong, along with a little badge to show he's not just some wacko who walked in.

     Coming back up to the counter he waits patiently taking in his surroundings with a bright smile. This was a nice place for a bit of a break before yet another mission. The costume under his shirt is still rather well hidden with just the smallest bit peaking out.

Marinette DuPain (143) has posed:
The Baker smiles and shakes his head, "No, the brownies are free for the little ones." He does move to get out a cake and whatever goods that Sue might want. Meanwhile, His wife smiles and moves to help Steve. "How can we help you today?" She asks with a soft smile.

Marinette smiles a little. "Oh that is cool! And I've seen pictures of Ben on the news. He seems nice even if he looks a little rough." She finishes serving people and quickly moves behind the counter again. Things are definitely going smoothly this morning. What could possibly go wrong?!

---

Across the city, a man is thrown out of his apartment. He's failed to pay his rent. Quietly he starts walking towards his parents house. All the while, he's griping. "He had to throw me out now! In the hot weather! He could have done this a few weeks ago but no! I hate spring!" He continues griping and moaning."

Captain America has posed:
     "Coffee, black, bottom of the pot if you've got it." Steve leans on the counter slightly, a single hand running through his hair to pat it back into place. He's going that bright look about him.

     As he looks over towards the other two and their talk about Grey Skin, and color compliments his attention is drawn to the man being kicked out from his home.

     His head shakes slowly from one side to the other at the state of affairs happening in this fine city. "Too many people missing their rent these days" He offers in a quiet tone. "Makes the heart weep."

Invisible Woman has posed:
    'YAAAAAY brownies!' Valeria yells as she gets a really big brownie. 'Wow mommy! These are bigger than yours!' Sue then facepalms. "I don't run a bakery, Valeria. Plus there are for when you get home....and after dinner.' 'Kay!' Sue then looks to Raven and tilts her head. "Well...I guess that's true. I don't know what I'd do if I were that pale, but that's me." 'Don't say that mommy! She's still pretty!' Valeria chimes in as Sue gets a mocha latte, and a few more things, not just a cake but....apparently a full container of coffee, presumably for Ben. Sue smiles to Valeria. 'Yes she is, Valeria....and I'm proud of you for saying so. What's your name?" She asks Raven.

Steve doesn't go unnoticed, but she's only heard inkling lately about someone with a similar built around, especially after an event in gotham, but he had a different costume on.

Raven has posed:
    Rachel's cup jitters on her saucer. If you're the kind of person who pays attention to such things, you might think it a bit strange: her hands seem perfectly steady. If you're attuned to magic, you might sense the tiny speck of telekinetic power that accompanies the flash of irritation that escapes her mental control before getting brutally quashed. Valeria's indignation helps with that. Rachel doesn't let any of it show on her impassive face, though she does take a moment to ignore Sue's question and steep her tea before the water gets colder. Then she answers, "I'm Rachel. I caught your names. Read a magazine once."

Marinette DuPain (143) has posed:
In a dark and Mysterious place, shourded by white butterflies, A strange man's senses are pinged by the despair of the newly evicted man. "Its such a shame when a person loses their home, but it brings such delightful anger." He captures one of the white butterflies and it rapidly turns black and violet. "Go my little Akuma and EVILIZE HIM!" The dark butterfly takes off flying towards the the poor guy who's been evicted.

Outside, the man walking pulls out his cell and makes a call. "MOm, I'm going to need a place to stay. I just got evicted. Yeah its not good. I can't talk to him." He states Softly. The weird black butterfly lands on the phone and fades into it. Suddenly the man is shrouded in darkness. A dark shadowed mask appears on his face.

A voice rings out to the man, speaking to his mind. "ICE AGE! I am Hawk Moth! I have given you the power to turn this accursed season into Winter and to exact revenge on the landlord that evicted you! All I ask is for you to bring me something when I ask."

The man smiles darkly, "Yes, Hawk Moth!" Suddenly his body is engulfed in magic. His clothing changes to a white and blue motiff with a blue mask covering his face. His phone attaches to his outfit, radiating that dark magic. Suddenly the temperature across the city starts dropping and dropping fast, as snow starts falling!

Inside the shop, Mrs. Cheng gets Steve his coffee and of course takes his money. Mr. Dupain returns to helping customers. Marinette however is completely wrapped up in what is happening inside the store. Idly she wraps her arms around herself as a chill comes over her. "Did it just get colder in here?" She asks softly. Her purse wiggles just a little. Its hardly noticable but she does feel it. "Excuse me, I need to get something from my room." With that she moves towards a fleet of stairs and climbs up.

Invisible Woman has posed:
    'Mom? Why is it snowing outside?' Franklin says to Sue as she seems to be packing up the stuff. "It's not supposed to be snowing in..." And that's when Sue looks outside. ".....May..." She then takes a deep breath. "Mr. Dupain? Mrs Cheng? Can they stay with you for the moment?" She says gesturing towards Franklin and Valeria. "Franklin, Valeria. Don't leave the Bakery unless it's no longer safe." Once she hears the okays from her children, Sue walks her way outside with her purse and actively looks for the source of the snowfall.....

Raven has posed:
    Snow out of nowhere. Great. Rachel hadn't even had a chance to stir her tea yet, and now frigging Cobra has reassembled its weather control machine or something. Rachel sets her cup down with a stern self-reminder not to hold on to what isn't useful any more (while making a dark promise to herself Cobra Commander or whoever is going to pay for this) and slips into the bathroom without a word; after all, who's there to check in with? In the stall, she summons forth her costume--the robe, the cloak, the hood that always casts a beak-like shadow over her face regardless of the light, the long gloves, the longer boots--and shifts through the bathroom wall to the alley behind the shop rather than walk out and have to explain herself to anyone. She lifts her face to the sky to examine the snow, and decides the first thing that needs doing is altitude. She lifts up into the sky, ankles primly together (the things you have to think about when you wear a loincloth while flying, right?), wanting to be at least fifty feet off the ground to scan around.

Captain America has posed:
     Passing over a small handful of cash, Who even handles the stuff anymore these days? Rogers keeps an eye on the man walking along. It's a bit of a shock when the man starts glowing and snow starts falling.

     His eyes blink several times looking through the window. "Well, looks like I'll need that coffee to go, because we're about to have a problem" Rogers calls out, as the snowfall kicks up into high gear. His own eyes narrowing slightly, as he starts ripping off that undershirt.

     Tucked beneath his traveling clothes is a skin-tight pure blue costume, with large pads and small stripes of red. Reaching behind himself Rogers lifts up the hood covering his upper face behind the almost latex mask. A quick kick of the legs sends off his leather jeans and he's ready to go in his full costume.

     Reaching down into his leather jacket Captain America pulls out a Blue and red shield with a single White star in the center, the shield shifting out from a single stick into a full and proper shield. "Captain America is on the case."

     Without anything more in terms of fanfare he's off right out the door, running at top speed with shield in tow.

Marinette DuPain (143) has posed:
The owners of the Bakery nod to Sue. They have no problem watching the two children. "Come Franklin and Valeria. We have some of Marinette's old coloring books you can color in if you choose?"

As Marinette gets to the top of the stairs, Tikki pops out of her purse. "Marinette, I think there is an Akuma out there!" She frowns, "You need to change!"

Marinette winces, "Another one already? I think Hawk Moth isn't pulling punches anymore." She takes a deep breath as she steps into her room. "Tikki! Spots on!"Immediately Tikki is pulled into Marinette's earrings. Those earrings turn from black to red with 5 black dots. She quickly moves her hands over her eyes and the domino mask appears. Her clothing changes, becoming the red unitard with black spots all over. Her yo-yo appears on her hip, belted there. With a quick pose she smiles and the transformation is complete. Immeditely she goes out the window.

Grappling a street light she swings down to the ground and lands right in front of the man now called Ice Age. "Listen, I know things are bad but you don't need to do this. You're a better person then this! I know it!"

The deep, dangerous voice of Hawk Moth echos in Ice Age's head. "That is Ladybug! Get me her miraculous and I will let you keep your power!"

Ice Age glares at Ladybug and then towards the other heroes who are closing. "You don't get it, Ladybug, I WANT to do this. Mr. Harper Deserves everything I give him. I asked him for extra time but he wouldn't listen. The only thing I need to make sure he gets what he deserves is your Miraculous! Give it over and maybe I will go easy on the rest of this city." With that he launches a blast of ice and snow towards several cars. They rapidly change, becoming strange plows which begin moving towards the heroes.

Invisible Woman has posed:
    "That is....certainly different." Sue says as she looks at Ice Age. She doesn't exactly have super hearing, so she can't hear what's said. She spots Ladybug and chuckles. 'and she's cute...."

That's when the frost blast comes her way....and she manages to get a forcefield up before she's frozen in her place....and she keeps it up for a bit. "that....wasn't very nice."

Raven has posed:
    Scanning...okay, -that- guy. Fine. Civilians are first priority. The Invisible Woman may be better equipped for this than Raven is, but there's no reason not to do her share of the work: Raven swoops down to no more than ten feet above street level, out in front of the shop, above the sidewalk next to the road where the car-plows are making their deadly trek. She reaches out a hand toward one of them and the vehicle is outlined in an aura of black anti-light, seized in Raven's telekinetic control. This Ice Age jerk might still be able to push it forward, if she has the right guess about what his powers are, but she can fight back and keep the people inside the car from getting forced into a collision.

Captain America has posed:
     Sprinting fourth from the building at speeds equal to that of the worlds best Olympic sprinters Captain America runs into view. Using the speed of his own momentum he curls in his arm like a discuss thrower.

     "Hey frosty, how about you chill for a bit!" Uncurling his arm and adding a rotation as he skids towards a stop, the shield is let loose spinning from his hand at massive speeds right towards Ice Age! His own footing skidding slightly in the snow, as he strikes down into a heroic pose.

Marinette DuPain (143) has posed:
BZZZ!! The Yo-yo zings as it goes flying towards an innocent bystandard with a phone out. The yo-yo wraps around their legs and they are promptly pulled out of the way of an incoming car-plow. "Get out of here! Its going to get a lot colder!" Ladybug comments as she swings her yoyo around. "Its not going to happen, Ice Age!" She quickly begins studying the chilling man, looking over him and trying to find something. "We have to find the object with the Akuma in it! It needs broken! If we can do that, I can capture it, clense it and undo all of this!"

"Good Luck with that Ladybug!" Ice Age snaps as he spies the shield. "Ohhh Clever, Captain!" He begins pouring Ice out building a thick wall to protect himself from the shield. "I grow tired of this. You know how to finish this. Hand over your earrings and we can all go about our business. Until then," He points at the idiot with the phone who is STILL recording the fight. Ice hits him in the forehead and his body shifts growing larger and taking on an icy visage. Now an Ice Golem, The create begins punching anything and everything in it's way.

Meanwhile, Ice Age leaps to the top of a building and quickly moves towards the building he was just evicted from.

Invisible Woman has posed:
    "Well...this guy is a man on a mission, isn't he?" Sue says to herself as she.....fades from sight, suddenly.

Raven has posed:
    And the Invisible Woman is gone. Damn. That leaves the cars for Raven to handle, and there's just too many to focus on. Raven takes the car she has and lifts it up off the ground like a toy, soaring it to her own side even as she flies along the sidewalk to Captain America. She pats the roof of the car with one hand and offers, "You heard the girl. Give you a ride, Cap? Might want to hold on tight."

Captain America has posed:
     Instead of the expected look of disapointence from cap, Ice age receives a simple smirk. His hands setting down to either side as he watches.

     Smacking into the fresh wall of ice at an angle Caps Shield is knocked upwards into the sky. Spinning high up into the sky it smacks right off a broken streetlamp, and careens back down towards Ice Age from a different angle.

Marinette DuPain (143) has posed:
Ladybug frowns, "Chat where are you?" She whispers. Then she sees Sue vanish. "Woah. Okay that was kinda cool!" She shakes it off. "I'm going after him. I swear I will explain everything. ITs a real pain." She frowns and whips her yo-yo up towards the roof. With a quick tug she's pulled all the way up to the roof of a multi-story building.

Ice Age narrowly avoids the shield again. "I need to get me one of those!" He mutters. Then its right into the building. He finds Mr. Harper. "Well. I was hoping to find you. Since you were so kind to someone down on their luck. I thought i would return the favor!" He launches a beam of ice at the guy, hitting him on the forehead. The man begins turning into another ice golem.

Invisible Woman has posed:
    Suddenly, the Ice beam hits something invisible, yet quite solid, and Ice Age can only see that it's in the form of a partial sphere. That's when Ice Age is YANKED, physically, from the building and thrown out into the street. That's when Sue reappears, right next to Ladybug. "I hate doing that, so much destruction, JUST for one person."

That's when Sue thrusts her hand forward and Ice Age is hit by another unseen force........and away from the building. "See to the new icicle, would you?"

Raven has posed:
    Captain America ignores Raven's offer of a ride. Guess it's just Raven's day to be ignored. She lets her anger and humiliation flow forth freely, their dark power a fire she stokes to a laserbeam as she cries her focusing mantra--"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"--to channel into not just raw power but fine control. The ice encasing the vehicle she'd been holding with her telekinesis explodes off, then pauses in midair still in the grip of Raven's black anti-light and forms into the penetrating shape of a pick that she hurls at Ice Age's protective ice wall, detonating both piles of ice on impact. Now, where is this troublemaker?

Marinette DuPain (143) has posed:
Ladybug smiles to Sue, "That is so cool! I think its time we put an end to this lunacy!" She quickly Swings her yo-yo around. She wings it upward and calls out. "LUCKY CHARM!" With a flash of light, something appears and drops into her hand. It looks like, "A Hand Mirror? What am I supposed to do with this!?" Her gaze goes down to the street where the man is sitting. Her gaze goes to the street below. Things go grey for her. Then two street lights flash to her. Then the mirror flashes. Then the cellphone on Ice Age flashes. "I got it! Keep him off me for a moment!"

She dives off the building, using her yo-yo to catch herself and slow her descent. Once she touches down, She throws the Yo-yo to one of the two street lights and it whips around to the other. With a quick action she puts the hand mirror in the now slightly tangled Yo-Yo.

Meanwhile, Ice Age is very much angry. "Come out here and fight Inivisible chick! Do you think you can best me! BRING IT ON!" He begins firing ice everywhere he can. Its putting stress on buildings and things are definitely starting to get worse. His gaze goes to Raven. "I think you'd look better in white!" He begins firing off a beam of ice toward her.

Invisible Woman has posed:
    The ice beam fired at Raven hits an invisible barrier there too.....just before it hits a much closer barrier that has him encased. "I think I can." And she starts to shake the globe like it was a snowglobe, which it is rapidly becoming one. If he was annoyed before, he will be now.

She looks to Raven. "Give me a second barrier on top of mine!"

Raven has posed:
    Raven doesn't like pulling out the big guns, but this guy is dangerous to everyone around him and needs to be stopped. Her cape billows out, blasted back from her body in an invisible wind as she releases just part of her soul-self, a field of black energy in the shape of two enormous, taloned bird's legs that fly out of her chest and seize Ice Age in their grip, squeezing him mercilessly. If it wasn't for the Invisible Woman's forcefield around him, they'd probably be wringing him like a wet rag right now. It's not exactly a forcefield Raven created, but then, she doesn't exactly create forcefields.

Marinette DuPain (143) has posed:
Ladybug finishes setting things up. She looks to The Invisible Woman and to Raven. "Okay On my word drop your force fields!" She braces herself and stands in front of the mirror. Getting into a position to move. She looks at Ice Age, "Hey Ice Age! You want my Miraculous?! Come and get it!!!" She braces herself. "Now!"

Ice Age is Furious. He is trapped in that field with no escape. That doesn't mean he isn't trying to escape. He keeps blasting the field with as much power as he can.

Invisible Woman has posed:
    When Ladybug calls for them to drop their forcefields, Sue makes sure to turn the ice beam AWAY from Ladybug.....and keep that half of the forcefield up, while opening the side of the forcefield towards Ladybug.

This way, Ice Age propels himself towards Ladybug.....

Raven has posed:
    Ice Age doesn't just propel himself. Raven is still feeling petty about her lost tea, and that pettiness is power tightening the talons of her soulself around Ice Age's body, only to fling him down the street in Ladybug's direction, body hurled at a downward angle so he'll hit the ground and skid before he reaches Ladybug. It won't feel good, but it would feel worse if he hadn't iced the streets, so maybe he can take comfort in that.

Marinette DuPain (143) has posed:
Ice age hits the ground hard right in front of Ladybug. He looks at her and smirks. "I think I'll take those earrings now." He points a finger towards Ladybug and fires!"

Ladybug leaps upward, dodging the ice beam. What the ice beam hits though is not another person by the mirror! it reflects the beam back, sending it towards him. It hits his cell phone sending it flying. It lands right in front of Ladybug. "NO!!!" The man screams.

Ladybug smirks and stomps the phone. The black butterfly goes flying upward. With a quick tug, her yoyo returns to her hand. It opens up, "No more evil doing for you little akuma!" She whips the yo-yo at the butterfly, capturing it. She swings it about herself. "Time to De-Evilize!" She calls out as she finally finishes the swinging. Out flies a white butterfly. "Bye-Bye little butter fly."

Her attention goes to the Invisible Woman and Raven. "One thing left to do." She quickly throws the mirror upward. "MIRACULOUS LADYBUG!" She calls and the mirror explodes into a barrage of hearts which go flying outward through the city, undoing every bit of damage done by Ice Age.

Ladybug smiles and blushes a little. "Well I think thats that." The poor guy who had been turned evil is on his knees wondering what in the world happened.

Invisible Woman has posed:
    That's when Sue walks her way over towards the man and tilts her head. "If I didn't know better, I'd swear this was one of Valeria's 'Sailor Moon EPisodes'." She then shrugs as she tries to help the man up. "You okay sir?" She then looks up to Rachel. "Thank you!"

Raven has posed:
    Raven rolls her eyes at the hearts, but what can you do. Magic does what it does; she knows that better than most people. Raven lowers herself to the ground, her soulself's talons retracted back into her soul where they belong, and she nods at the Invisible Woman. "You're welcome. Thank you too, Invisible Woman." That last sounds awkward even to Raven, but she isn't familiar enough with pop culture to be sure how else to address Sue. She walks over to Ladybug, restrains an urge to kick Ice Age in the teeth as she passes by, and asks Ladybug, "Is this it?"

Marinette DuPain (143) has posed:
The man looks at the Invisible woman and frowns, "Yeah I just... What happened? One minute I was trying to get to my moms and the next I was I dunno what was going on!"

A dot disappears from her earrings with a soft beep as Ladybug looks at Raven. "Yes. I can explain I only have a minute or so before I turn back to my other self so. There is this guy named Hawk Moth. I thought he quit. He vanished from France. I recently came here and found out he's here. He wants both mine and Chat Noir's Miraculouses. The devices that let us become heroes. If he gets them, He gains power over creation and destruction. He sends out these akumas, These black butterflies. They enter into someones personal objects and change them into super villains. The only way to stop it is to find the object, break it and then purify the akuma. To my knowledge I'm the only one who can do that. If the akuma goes unpurified, They will fly off and eventually come back to their host only after reproducing! So instead of having 1 Ice Age to fight with we could have had an entire city full of them. Its very not good."

Beep.

"I can explain better some other time. Umm... leave a message with the Baker's Daughter. I'll get it if you want to meet again and talk about this. I've gotta go!" With a quick toss, she throws her yo-yo up to the roof of a building and vanishes.

Once out of sight she quickly enters her home and changes back. Tikki pops out and groans, "That was cutting it close."

"I know Tikki, I'm sorry. I just had to explain things." She frowns.

Invisible Woman has posed:
Invisible Woman says, "PFFT! I'm Susan Storm-Richards. Invisible Woman is what Johnny initially called me and the nickname stuck. Just call me Sue, Susan, or Mrs. Storm-Richards.....or Mrs. Richards. I don't mind. I'm just glad you were able to help." She then watches as ladybug runs away. "So she has a time limit....and Hawk Moth. That's annoying." She then looks to Raven. "I imagine that's not how you naturally look either. But, thank you again. I have to get back to my kids." She then looks to the guy. "This 'Ice Age' person had beeter be glad I forgot my flare gun today." And she strides back to the bakery."

Raven has posed:
    Raven shrugs. She isn't willing to comment on the subject of her real appearance. She just nods as Sue leaves, and takes to the sky herself. May as well get headed home.
