A/N: I always felt like Adrien had a little too much trust in Ladybug. Sooooo, I decided to write if Adrien did transform mid air because he was too close to the ground and about to DIE.
So yeah. This is my interpretation if Adrien did transform. (Why haven't I seen a fanfic or comic that has done this. Plz link it to me if you've seen one; I want to read/seeit.)
AND AS ALWAYS, PLEASE CRITIQUE! ^-^
Falling from the sky, Adrien expected Ladybug to catch him immediately, since he was technically falling to his death if he wasn't a miraculous holder.
"If you don't transform soon, you might wind up like a gooey pile of camembert!" Plagg snickered, being unhelpful as always.
"I can't Plagg, not in the open like this," Adrien retorted. "I'm sure Ladybug has a plan; I trust her." After all, aren't we supposed to keep our identities hidden?
"Uh, honestly kid, you really should transform. The akuma is holding Ladybug, and I don't think he intends to let her go anytime soon. By the rate that you are about to hit the ground, and even if Hawkmoth forces the akuma to let go of Ladybug, I don't think you'll survive." Plagg panicked. Man this kid is PERSISTENT with hiding his identity to the point he might die to keep it. What is he even thinking?!
"She'll figure it out. She always does." Adrien was certain that Ladybug would know how to save him, but as he was slowly closing in, about to hit the ground, he was starting to have doubts. After debating with himself, he finally gave in.
"PLAGG, TRANSFORME MOI," He cried as he continued to free fall, suddenly scared as all of the people who were gaping at him were suddenly reacting and taking their phones out to take pictures. As he grabbed his baton to stop his fall, he felt something hook around his waist and then a hard tug followed straight afterwards, forcing him to stop in midair. A split second later, he felt something, or rather someone, crash into him. An arm wrapped around him, but he was still falling, so he extended his baton, stopping his and probably Ladybug's fall.
Wait. SHOOT I JUST REVEALED MY IDENTITY TO THE WORLD.
He turned his head around to see his lady's reaction. He wasn't prepared for the high pitched scream that followed.
