The little mouse held the same sentiment, and yet there the ladybug was! Standing in front of her, awkwardly fidgeting, just like she herself normally did.
"I don't. . . Think so?"
Noirette pinched herself-- ouch ! And yet, the other was still standing before her.

"Woah. . .
Are you--?
But, how--?"
How is she wielding so much power so effortlessly?
How are there two Marinette's in one place?
So many questions, so little answers.

"M-- Mrs. Agreste--?"
Shock ! Horror !
It was Adrian's mom. . . And here she was, covered in flour, currently helping out at the Bakery.
There goes the good impression she'd wanted to make. . .
There'd certainly be some growing pains as she got used to Mullo's abilities, so maybe Chat could help ebb her along? A bit, anyways.
"Though we'll have to be careful; you know what they say about cats and mice."
She jested, a bit of a giggle soon following her.
Ravenette beamed with pride at his compliment; she'd not anticipated her arrangement with Mullo to be a permanent one, but Master felt as though it were for the best, for now.
Hearing his next statement yielded a bit of a grin from the mousey heroine-- it was. . . Sweet of him, to offer to help her.
Maybe her being Multimouse was the start of something fresh and new?
"I'd like that, Chat."
For it was the fate of the mouse to be quiet.
". . . I think you know who I am."
Was her response, rubbing the back of her own head.
"Because I think we're one and the same, except for. . ."
She gestured to their outfits; crimson vs. gray.
The situation at hand was certainly. . . Strange, to say the least. Multimouse hadn't made duplicates of herself in a bit.
The other's inquiry further cemented the truth that surround them; their shared voice, if not the others being slightly ( louder ).
Aha , you fool ! ( Poses , hand over eyes. Very dramatic. ) You see , I might seem like just a normal girl with a normal life. . . but at night , with the power of the Bee Miraculous , I become the only & only heroine of Paris - 𝑸𝑼𝑬𝑬𝑵 𝑩𝑬𝑬 !

"You're--. . . But how--?"
If there was anyone Marionette knew, it was herself ! Except. . . This version of her was ( clearly ) the Ladybug.
And she certainly didn't recall making another form of herself !
She didn't wanna mess up the team synergy, after all.
" Oh--! And uh, don't worry. You guys are the only ones that know my identity: I've been making sure to be more careful when it comes to my Miraculous so I don't slip up again. "
His reassuring smile was met with an exhalation of relief, admittedly; it was just Him, which meant she had nothing to worry about.
Right ?
" That's right ! "
The heroine proclaimed, nodding in excitement.
" I'll do my best to not get in your way. "
"Gah--!"
A flinch at the usage of her real name, looking over to the blond meekly in that instance.
"Well, I-- she did ! You're definitely right about that, but uh-- because of everything that's been going on, she, ah-- decided it'd be safer with me. . ."
