"Pro Hero, Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight, doesn't carry that All Might card anymore. Instead, he prints his favorite pics of Izuku and puts them in his pocket, holding onto them or staring at them when he needs him the most." - Silverynight

This is probably my favorite Ibara ship and my favorite het ship for Shoto. I can see them working well as a couple.
Lady Wi-Fi is one of my least favorite episodes of Season 1, mainly due to how they made Alya stupid enough to think Chloé is Ladybug and the missed opportunity of not building up to Marinette keeping secrets from Alya. Quick disclaimer, this rewrite will be in the third person, as I can not write dialogue for the life of me. There will be scenes that will be similar to the episode, but the main difference will be that Alya doesn't suspect Chloé and the fight will take place near Marinette's house. Be sure to leave feedback, and criticism is perfectly fine. I'm not a professional writer, so I don't expect flawless scripts.
The episode begins similar to the original. Alya uses the cut photo of Ladybug to try and see if any of her classmates could potentially be her. Marinette is not in class. At the end of class, Alya makes her way outside and tries to call Marinette, only for it to go to voicemail. Later that day, Alya is watching recent footage of Ladybug on the news, and she notices that it's the same as Marinette's eyes and hair. After using the photo earlier and placing it on a picture she has of Marinette, she eagerly calls her friend again, only for it to go on voicemail. This time, she leaves a voicemail, telling Marinette that she wants to talk to her about Ladybug's identity. We cut to Marinette's room, where she has just gotten back from patrol. She checks her phone, only to be surprised by Alya's voice mail. She questions Tikki if Alya might know her identity, and before she can respond, the signal cuts out, causing her to investigate the rooftop and realize that a technician is working on the signal near her roof. She makes her way back to bed, forgetting about the message.
The next day, Marinette ends up sleeping in and not getting up in time. Meanwhile, Alya approaches Nino and tells him that she thinks Marinette might be Ladybug. Nino is surprised, but he is hesitant to believe her because Marinette and Ladybug seem so different from each other, much to Alya's disappointment. Cutting back to Marinette, she realizes she slept in and quickly makes her way to school. When she arrives, Alya seems slightly cold towards her, but Marinette tries to ignore it. Noticing the tension, Adrien whispers to Nino if something happened between Marinette and Alya, only for Nino to respond that Alya thinks that Marinette is Ladybug. This shocks Adrien, and he quietly thinks to himself it is possible they could be the same person.
After class, Marinette catches up to Alya, where she apologizes for ignoring her message yesterday. Alya lets out a sigh and decides to forgive her, as long as she doesn't do it again. While they are talking, Alya tells Marinette that she is her best friend and it's okay for her to tell her anything. Marinette agrees and says that she wouldn't want to keep secrets from her, either. Pausing for a moment, Alya brings up that she wanted to talk about Ladybug's identity. Marinette freezes, questioning why Alya would bring it up. Feeling bold, Alya decides to ask Marinette if she is Ladybug, which causes Marinette to panic and quickly deny it, saying that she and Ladybug are nothing alike. Alya reminds Marinette that she said she could tell her anything, but Marinette responds by saying she is telling the truth and that she is not Ladybug. Feeling betrayed, Alya pretends to believe her and walk off. Thinking that Alya no longer suspects her, Marinette walks home while reassuring Tikki that Alya won't find out that she's Ladybug.
We cut to Alya feeling frustrated and sitting on a bench, questioning why Marinette would lie to her own best friend and not trust her with knowing her secret identity. Sensing Alya's heartbreak, Hawk Moth sends an akuma toward her. Cutting back to Alya, she tries calling Marinette's phone again, only for it to be left on voicemail. Letting out a sigh, Alya looks down in shame, not noticing the akuma landing on her phone. Hawk Moth makes a deal with Alya that he will give her the power to expose Ladybug's secrets in exchange for her earrings, which Alya accepts, becoming akumatized into Lady Wi-Fi. Using her powers, she opens up a live broadcast on everyone's phones, declaring herself as Lady Wi-Fi and her mission to unmask Ladybug and Cat Noir, starting with Marinette, who she suspects to be Ladybug. When Adrien sees the broadcast on his phone, he quickly transforms into Cat Noir, knowing that Marinette could be in danger. Before he can transform, Plagg asks Adrien that if Marinette is Ladybug, then she shouldn't have an issue taking care of the akumatized villain on her own. Adrien responds by saying that doesn't matter and that he won't let anything happen to her.
Back in Marinette's bedroom, Tikki asks again if Marinette might have been harsh toward Alya, which leads Marinette to reassure her again that there's nothing to worry about and how since Alya is her best friend, she'll understand. Due to Lady Wi-Fi intentionally avoiding sending her broadcast to Marinette, she is able to catch Marinette off guard by popping up on Marinette's phone. Startled, Marinette throws the phone across the room and jumps back as Lady Wi-Fi pops out. Once she appears, she begins the broadcast, confronting Marinette about lying to her best friend about not being Ladybug, causing Marinette to gasp and apologize for hurting Alya's feelings, but Lady Wi-Fi declares that Alya doesn't care anymore and as Lady Wi-Fi, she will expose Marinette's secret identity to everyone in Paris.
Getting impatient, Hawk Moth tells Lady Wi-Fi to freeze Marinette and take her earrings, but right before she can comply, Cat Noir appears and stops Lady Wi-Fi's attack. Lady Wi-Fi comments how Ladybug hasn't shown up, seemingly confirming her suspicions, but Cat Noir ignores her, putting up a good fight and dodging her attacks while he tells Marinette to hide. Quickly exiting her room, Marinette tells Tikki that she was right and she should've been honest with Alya. Tikki asks Marinette if she will be willing to fight her best friend, which Marinette responds by saying she'll be saving her best friend instead. We cut back to Cat Noir fighting Lady Wi-Fi, and right before he can cataclysm her phone, she quickly teleports away, and the broadcast ends.
A few moments later, Ladybug appears and questions Cat Noir where Lady Wi-Fi went. Cat Noir asks if Marinette is okay, and Ladybug says that she's safe. As they exit Marinette's room through the roof, Cat Noir questions Ladybug about why they need to keep their secret identities a secret, when Ladybug reminds him that it would be dangerous if one of them got akumatized and exposed the other to Hawk Moth. Admitting that she's right, Cat Noir decides not to press further, though he is still curious if Marinette may really be Ladybug. As they search Paris for Lady Wi-Fi, Ladybug tells Cat Noir that she has a plan. She creates a lucky charm, which ends up creating earrings that look exactly like Ladybug's. Ladybug gives it to Cat Noir, telling him where Marinette is hiding. Cat Noir asks if Ladybug will come with him, but she says that it is necessary for their plan to work if he goes alone. He accepts and makes his way to the coordinates while Ladybug takes a shortcut and detransforms back into Marinette, knowing that this plan is risky, but there is no other way it will work.
Shortly afterward, Cat Noir arrives with the earrings and gives them to Marinette, telling her that Ladybug needs her to hold onto them. Playing along, Marinette takes off her own earrings and slips the fake ones on instead. A few moments later, Lady Wi-Fi appears out of Marinette's phone, expressing confusion and annoyance that it took her so long to locate her. However, Marinette steps forward and confesses that she is Ladybug, and she only lied to Alya because she didn't want to risk Alya getting akumatized and telling Hawk Moth. She removes the fake earrings and hands them to Lady Wi-Fi, who eagerly accepts. Feeling successful, Lady Wi-Fi turns her attention to Cat Noir, demanding that he hand over his Miraculous or she'll take them by force. They enter into another fight, and Marinette slips away, transforming back into Ladybug as she makes her way to a nearby cell tower, using her yo-yo to break the signal.
Meanwhile, Lady Wi-Fi is about to freeze Cat Noir until her phone suddenly loses signal, causing her to panic. Cat Noir and her enter another fight as Ladybug makes her way to them. Using a sneak attack, she wraps her yo-yo around Lady Wi-Fi's legs, causing her to trip and drop her phone. Lady Wi-Fi expresses shock that Marinette wasn't Ladybug, but before she can fight back, Cat Noir catches the phone, shattering it against the ground and freeing the akuma. Ladybug catches the akuma and purifies it as usual. She takes the fake earrings, doing her Miraculous Ladybug and fixing everything. As Alya deakumatizes, she expresses confusion before realizing what happened. She quickly apologizes to Ladybug and Cat Noir, asking if Marinette is okay. Ladybug makes her way to Alya, telling her why it is important for the heroes to keep their secret identities and why no one can know who they are, not even each other. Alya finally accepts this and gives Ladybug a reassuring nod, watching as they pound it and leave.
As they are leaving, Cat Noir asks Ladybug if she was the one who cut off the cell tower, which she confirms, stating she needed Marinette as a distraction while she disabled the signal. Feeling relieved, Cat Noir asks if Marinette is still okay and if he should go check up on her since he didn't have to use his Cataclysm this time, meaning he doesn't need to worry about detransforming. Ladybug responds that she'll take care of it and that she trusts Cat Noir to worry about his own secret identity, too. Cat Noir reluctantly accepts and makes his way back home while Ladybug does the same. Back at Adrien's room, he tells Plagg that he even though he shouldn't know her secret identity, he won't let that stop him from loving her no matter what. Plagg remarks by calling him cheesy before comedically swallowing his own cheese. The next day, Alya approaches Marinette and apologizes for not believing her and pressuring her to share her secrets. Marinette forgives Alya, and they both agree that even though they're best friends, they don't have to share secrets they don't feel comfortable sharing. The episode ends with Alya still having lingering suspicions on Marinette being Ladybug but deciding not to do anything about it, respecting her friend's privacy.
