"Pound it!" said the heroes of Paris Ladybug and Chat Noir. They had just defeated the most recent Akuma created by Hawkmoth. (Admittedly, if you had asked Hawkmoth himself he would have told you that this Akuma wasn't one of his best in the past few weeks.) They were about to part ways when Chat's ears perked up. Which caught Ladybugs attention.
"Do you hear that?" He asked with a look of confusion.
"I don't hear anything." Ladybug replied.
"Shhh." Chat said, "It sounds like,... screaming?" He finished.
Ladybug listened closely and then she heard it the sound of someone screaming like they were plummeting to their death. Both of them looked around and Ladybug spotted him first and gasped.
"There!" she said pointing to the Eiffel Tower. Sure enough there was a kid falling from the sky at terminal velocity towards the ground. Both of them knew that their transformations wouldn't hold for long but had to do something.
"M'lady" Chat began, "we gotta help him but our transformations are about to go out, could you use yours to asses the situation when in civilian form?" He finished asking her.
"Of course! Now go before you blow your secret identity." Ladybug replied.
"Many thanks M'lady." Chat said as he bowed, then pole vaulted away from the direction of the tower, she asked herself why but didn't want to question his identity at the moment. She threw her yo-yo and swung to find a spot to release her transformation.
"Ok, now to see what's going on." Ladybug said as she found an abandoned alley to release her transformation. Once she did Tikki flew out and Marinette, Ladybugs Alter-Ego, caught her and put her gently in her purse. Tikki immediately began to eat the cookie stash that Marinette kept in her purse just for the little Kawami.
'Thanks Marinette" Tikki said after her third cookie, having gained enough energy to voice her thanks.
"No problem." She said quietly enough for Tikki to hear. Marinette then felt the ground shake. She then ran as fast as she could towards the direction of the Eiffel Tower. When she rounded the corner however, she just about fell into a huge crater and noticed a boy around her age in the middle of it passed out, and completely unscathed? She got closer to the boy then tentatively picked him up and walked him to her house which wasn't far from where they currently were.
"I'm going to have a lot of explaining to do, but not as much as this guy." Marinette muttered to herself. Tikki nodding in agreement.
