Chapter 1
Marinette DupaIn-Cheng has only been in the agency known as K.W.A.M.I for a year and a half now. She'd earned the nickname Ladybug when she'd gotten a bulls-eye with her first bullet and never missed the target. Ladybug the lucky charm. She'd never been on a mission that failed. Climbing ranks was nothing for her.
Adrien Agreste, the director's kid, praised for his ability to hide in plain sight. Like a black cat at night. Chat Noir they called him. The kid couldn't hit a billboard from 10 metres away.
No one expected them to ever end up on the same team.
No one thought that it could work either.
They were about to prove them wrong.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own this show.
"Not many can brag about a perfect mission record."
"No sir."
"Your preferred weapons are the standard pistol and a grappling gun?"
"Yes, sir."
"Are you aware that until you join our agency that no one has listed the grappling gun under the weapons category?"
"No, sir."
"You show a lot of promise, Agent. In a few weeks, we will be extracting an agent from their undercover work. This will require a pair of agents. The two agents chosen are not only required to have a broad range of skills but will also need a certain standard of trust in one another to pull this extraction off. In your next mission, you will be introduced to your partner. I'll need you both to be on excellent terms."
"Of course sir."
"Your partner will probably meet you during debrief tomorrow morning."
Agent Ladybug raised an eyebrow at this before replying with a curt nod, "Yes, sir."
"Dismissed."
Ladybug nodded before striding smoothly out of the room.
Walking around the corner and checking both ways she slumped in on herself before taking a big breath and relaxing. She continued down the hallway towards the cafeteria where she knew her friend would most likely be waiting.
She walked in the door and scanned the room and quickly spots the red headed girl waving at her. Making her way over at a decent pace she slides into the seat.
"Where have you been girl? I looked all over for you."
"Just got out from a meeting, Alya."
"With Tikki?"
"No, the director."
"What?! You had a meeting with him? I've never even seen him."
"Yeah, it had me on edge the entire time."
"What did he want?"
"He mentioned that I had an unusually clean mission record, and said that I was the first person to ever use a grappling gun as a weapon."
"What, seriously, you're the first? I would've thought there's be at least one other person."
"I know, I never thought I could be that original."
"What else did he say?"
"I'm getting a partner for a mission tomorrow. I'll be with them every mission for a while as well."
"Well, I'm afraid it's not me. I'm with the tech squad all day."
"I could only hope. I hope it's not any of those snobby agents. None of them like me."
"The only reason they don't like you is that you're even better than they are and they've been here for years."
"I wish I were as good as them, don't even joke about that."
Her friend shook her head with a scoff.
"One of these days Marinette."
He felt his back slam onto the floor as a silver baton hovered over his face.
"Come on Adrien; I know you can do better than that."
"And how do you know that?"
"It's a gut feeling I have."
"You sure that's not the cheese talking?"
"Positive, Kid. That's enough for today; you have a mission first thing in the morning. Wouldn't want you too exhausted."
"I'm not sure my physical health is going to help my track record whatsoever."
"Eat more cheese, and I guarantee you'll find yourself lucky."
"I'll pass, thank you very much."
"You don't know what you're missing out on kid."
"Bad breath?"
"Laugh it up, kid."
"Will do Plagg."
"What did I do to deserve a student like you."
"Ate too much cheese?"
"One of these days kid, one of these days."
Plagg finally moved the baton so Adrien could pull himself off the floor. Adrien chose to pull himself into a seated position instead.
"I can't help but feel sorry for whichever agent you're being paired with. It'll be, what, the fifth one this month."
"Don't remind me. I swear it's just a series of bad luck that's been following me everywhere."
"Well, rumour is your partners got enough good luck to cover you."
"Wait, who is my new partner? I don't think I ever found out."
"Agent Ladybug."
"Oh. Wow. She's lucky alright. I've seen her track record. Dad was impressed when it was pointed out to him."
"Course he was. Not every day an Agent has a perfect record. Never failed a single mission."
"Now I am worried."
"Don't kid. I have a feeling that your luck is about to change. Tikki thinks this girl is the new Goddess or something."
"Tikki thinks everyone is amazing."
"Nah, this is a particular kind of amazing. You'll have to tell me all about it when you get back."
