Hiya! I decided to do Marichat May because I may or may not have fallen into Marichat hell...oops.

I want to warn you guys that some chapters will be longer than others and some will be shorter than others. It will all depend on what inspires me when I write the prompts. So I really don't want to hear about length in the reviews, please.

Enjoy!

Day 1: No Powers

Marinette cursed whoever decided to give her the worse luck in the world as she ducked behind a dumpster, she cringed at the smell.

"I'm Seductress! Everyone will love me!"

The one time Master Fu needed to borrow Tikki for a few hours, Hawk Moth decides to make an Akuma! When she gets her hands on him…

Marinette closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to push down her panic and block out the screams.

She needed to get to Master Fu's, grab Tikki, transform, and kick this Akuma's butt.

"You can do this, Marinette," The bluenette whispered to herself. Opening her eyes, she crept out from behind the dumpster and peeked outside the ally.

People stumbled around, dopy grins on their faces and slumped backs. They're passive unless Seductress orders them to attack.

Marinette shivered, she saw them attack a police man earlier. It was...horrifying.

"Love me!"

Her bluebell eyes snapped towards the Akuma. She stood over two cowering kids, hands glowing pink as she prepared to turn them into her minions.

In that moment, Marinette forgot that she wasn't currently Ladybug. Forgot that she had no powers. Her legs moved before she could think about it. By the time her mind caught up, she had already leapt onto Seductress' back and wrapped her arm around the Akuma's neck.

Seductress shrieked and jerked around, trying to throw Marinette off. It only made the girl tightened her hold. If she let go, the Akuma will turn her into a minion or command them to attack her.

"Let go!" The Akuma dug her nails into Marinette's arm, trying to loosen the grip and tried to buck her off. The bluenette screamed as warm liquid dripped down her arm.

"Marinette!"

She opened her eyes (when did she close them?) and looked for the familiar voice.

Chat Noir stood on a nearby roof, a look of pure horror on his face.

In Marinette's moment of distraction, Seductress wrenched her arm and threw the girl.

She was flying until arms wrapped around her and pulled her to a warm chest. Her arms automatically wrapped around Chat's neck as he ran away from the scene.

The cat hero stopped on a concealed rooftop. He gently set her down, green eyes on her bloody arm. Marinette hid it behind her back.

"Thanks," She told him. He looked into her eyes and she flinched at the visible anger on his face.

"We need to talk later," Chat firmly told her. "Please, don't do that again."

Marinette looked down at the roof, not meeting his eyes.

She knew she would do it again if someone was in danger.

Chat let out a growl before tearing off back towards the Akuma. Marinette watched him go before she searched for a way off the roof.

Chat leapt across the Paris rooftops, the moon shining in the night sky.

He paused and stared at a familiar balcony.

Marinette was curled up on her lounge, a blanket wrapped around her.

She waited for him.

Chat pushed down the warm feeling today. He needed to have a serious talk with her, she was hurt today because she was reckless.

She looked up as he landed on her railing, with a tiny smile she motioned towards the table next to her.

His mouth almost watered at the cookie, but quickly got ahold of himself.

"May I please see your arm, Princess?" He asked.

"The Miraculous Cure healed it," Marinette whispered, but freed her arms from the blanket anyway.

Something inside Chat's chest loosened when he looked at her completely healed arm.

"Please don't risk yourself like that again," The cat hero stepped off the railing and sat at the end of the lounge chair. "You don't have powers like Ladybug and I do. You could get seriously hurt or even killed."

Marinette frowned, eyes glaring at him. "I wasn't going to let her attack those kids!"

"Princess, she could have killed you! You don't have a protective suit or a weapon. That fall would have broken all the bones in your body!"

"I don't care! Those kids needed me!"

"How would those kids feel if they watched you die protecting them?!"

Marinette jerked her head to look out into the night, tears slid down her flushed cheeks.

Chat took a deep breath and glanced away, realizing tears were pooling in his eyes too. "I don't want to lose you."

The bluenette took a shaky breath. She wiped away her tears and turned back to look at him.

"You won't lose me, Chat. I trust you to keep us safe. To keep Paris safe."

Chat hiccuped and pulled her into a hug, one that she returned.

She whispered into his ear. "I'm sorry I scared you like that, Kitty."
