A/N: Welp, I created another fic. Welcome to a drabble series focusing on Luka, Adrien, Marinette, and Kagami as spies. Just a quick note, Luka is 23, Adrien is 22, Marinette and Kagami are 21.
"Noir? Can you hear me?"
He unclipped the briefcase and grabbed some cables as he heard a chuckle through the earpiece.
"Loud and clear, Viper. Plus, how many times do I have to tell you, you can call me Chat?"
Viper rolled his eyes. He was crouched along the roof, hidden within a corner of the house looking at the small briefcase opened with a display of four blank camera views. While messing with the panel on the wall hooked to the security system, Viper worked the cables and glanced back and forth to the screens waiting to get a connection as he waited to get a glimpse of Chat Noir. Even after two years, one year as a mentor and one year having him part of his team, he swore that man aimed to cause as much mischief for him as possible, testing his patience. He was definitely worthy of the black cat name.
"I'm aware I can call you Chat, however, as we are currently in the middle of a mission I feel safer calling you by Noir." Fiddling with the wires, he finds a promising wire and clips a cable clamp on. Looking at the small screen, Viper smiles with triumph as four screens of different camera views of the inside pop up.
"Perfect. I've gained access to the security cameras. I'll be able to guide you through. Where's your location?" Viper asked through the speaker.
"I'm currently in the west wing hallway." Replied Chat.
Typing a few buttons, Viper pulled up the west wing hallway only to jump when a close-up view of Chat popped up on the screen. The dark haired man gripped his chest as he exhaled. Chat moved back until more of him came to view and smiled his cheeky smile and waved.
"Can you see me?" Asked Chat.
"Yes, I can see you. Can't you be serious right now? I want to get this done and back home before Kagami realizes that you and I took a last minute mission without her and Mari."
"Don't remind me. If Mari finds out I left her behind you can be sure it's not just your ass on the line."
Both men shuttered at the thought of their girlfriends finding out they went on a mission without them. The four of them were one of the top teams for France's spy groups, but there was one thing that made their group stand out most. And it was an important rule that many in the agency tried to keep hold.
The rule of note pissing off agent Ladybug and Dragon.
Now the agency knew that agent Viper and Chat Noir were capable and skilled. However, after a few certain previous missions with just Viper and Chat Noir, the two have literally enforced accompanied their partners to prevent such incidents again.
And if there was anything that the agency had come to learn, it was that you never piss off the Lady and Dragon.
Watching Chat head towards the end of the hallway, Viper watched closely as Chat picked the lock of the door.
Successfully opening it after a few seconds, Chat sent a thumbs up towards the security camera, and Viper switched over to the next room.
Seeing the entire room, both men saw a safe door located in the back of the room.
"Hold back, Noir. Can you see any alarm panel in the room? I doubt one of the Akuma's would leave blueprints unsecured."
"Good call. Let me check."
Looking around the room, Chat didn't find any form of security. Clicking his earpiece, "I don't see anything. Not even any devices that could be motion sensors."
"Hmm, maybe they honestly thought no one would find them." Viper took a second to think, but the evidence of no added security to the blueprints they were sent to retrieve made him feel uneasy. And typically his feelings were accurate. "Damn. Something just doesn't feel right. I think you should get out and we'll return later."
"But, Viper, we're almost done. We can retrieve them now. You're good with navigating through security feeds and hacking. You were the only one with enough patience to learn and understand from Max. We can do it."
Chat could hear Viper groan and self-debating. He hated putting his previous mentor through difficulty but they never turned away from accomplishing a mission. And he was sure Viper was aware of that and currently struggling with.
"Fine. But let's be quick. I'm getting uneasy."
Typing through the keyboard, both men heard a beep coming through their earpiece. They concluded that it must be someone from the agency contacting them about their status. As Luka finished glancing through the feed of the house, he sent the code to Chat Noir to allow him to open the safe.
Watching as Chat entered the code and opened the door, Viper clicked the incoming call and for the both of them to hear.
"Viper, here."
"Hello, Luka, the faithful, loyal, and song of my heart. Where are you?"
Viper froze, eyes wide as he heard his girlfriend on the other line. He watched as Chat froze through the camera hearing her voice too.
"K-Kagami. Baby, my love. W-what do you mean where I am?" He responded back, trying his best to hold back the fear, but knowing well he's failing.
"You know exactly what I mean. Where are you? You're not home."
Sweat dripped down his forehead as Viper attempted to lie in hopes he could convince Kagami and get her off the line as quick as possible without her finding out about their mission.
"You're correct, I'm not home. I-I must have forgotten to write you a note but I left to the store to pick up some groceries. I noticed we were running low so I figured I'd run down and pick them up. Though it's crowded today so I probably won't be back for another hour or so."
Viper watched as Chat quietly moved his hands through the safe to grab the blueprints. They wanted to ensure any lack of evidence of them being there.
"Is that so?" They both heard Kagami's voice speak through the earpiece.
"Yep!" Viper responded a little too loudly. "And you wouldn't believe who I ran into while I'm here. Would you believe that I ran into Adrien of all people?"
"We live across the street from him and Marinette. Though I guess it's not that hard to believe."
"Great! That's great to hear. Apparently, he said he needed to pick up groceries too. Why don't you say hi to him?"
Viper watched as Chat spun around, blueprints in hand, and glared at the camera. He could make out Chat mouthing 'Don't you dare!'
"I have you on speaker. Say hi, Adrien."
He could see Chat's glare deepen through the security camera as Chat started making his way back towards Viper.
"Hey, Kagami! Can you believe I ran into Luka? What a punny coincidence."
"Don't even start, Adrien."
"My a-paw-logies."
They could hear Kagami groan through the line. Hearing her take a deep breath, "I swear to God you both better not be getting into to trouble or so help me and Mari."
"Ah, you both worry too much," Chat responded. "But do tell my bugaboo that I'm doing fine."
"Why don't you tell her yourself?"
"Hello, Chaton." Came the sweet voice but the frustration he was sure was hidden behind. Both men gulped with the added person joining the conversation. "I hear you're at the store. Quite a surprise since you act like a lost kitten when shopping."
"Well, it's a good thing I have my pal, Luka with me." They both were getting nervous and beginning to believe that they hadn't convinced their girlfriends.
"Well then, since you're at the store, do be a good kitten and bring me back some fancy chocolate home."
"Anything for you, princess."
"And, Luka?" This time Kagami spoke, gaining Viper's attention.
"Yes, love?"
"Be a good boy and bring some fancy chocolate home too."
"Of course, baby."
As Viper and Chat Noir felt like they were home free, the sound of alarms began to blare from the first level of the mansion. Both agents' eyes widen with fear as they were sure their girlfriends could hear it on the other side.
"What's that alarm?" Both girls asked. Yep, of course, they would.
"Oh shit, would you look at that?" Came Viper's voice, trying to be as calm as he could be, "It looks like some customer tripped the emergency exit. I think it's best that Adrien and I let you go and we'll see you soon. Love you, baby."
"Love you, bugaboo." Followed Chat's voice.
Hanging up on the girls, Viper helped Chat through a large ventilation system that led him up to the roof where he stood hidden.
Once Chat stood next to Viper, he tore his mask off and looked at him with a glare. "Why the hell would you drag me into the conversation?!"
Viper looked at Chat and took off his mask too, giving his partner a smirk, "Cause if my ass is going down, then I'm dragging your ass down with me."
