Chapter 1

Marinette Dupain-Cheng wandered through the dark streets of Paris, with the moon and stars overpowering the dim light of the flickering street lights. Thunder rumbled overhead and streaks of light scarred the night sky. It'll rain soon, Marinette thought to herself, great. Soft footsteps behind her made Marinette stiffen. Her stomach became knotted and an uneasy feeling built in her chest. From the corner of her eye, she saw a hooded man with something in his hand. Something metal in his hand. A gun! Marinette thought. In a moment of panic, she changed her route and sidestepped into an alleyway. She could feel his gaze as he followed her. Then she realised what she had done. This alley was a dead end. She was trapped. She gasped in terror, then regained herself and turned around ever so slowly. The criminal seemed to be amused. "I wondered how long it would take you to try and brush me off," he said with a twisted smile, "Marinette". In that moment, Marinette's blood ran cold. How did he know her name? "Who are you?" Marinette shook with terror but her voice was calm and steady. He pulled the gun out casually and displayed it in full view. It was loaded. "Oh Marinette so insanely stupid. Do you not know who I am?" He pulled the hood down to reveal his face. He wore a black mask but his hair was bright blue. Marinette eyes widened in shock. "R-Robin?" Her old kindergarten friend. Why would he do this? "Give me the earrings Marinette," Robin said smoothly. A wicked smile played on his face. Marinette flicked her hair in front of her earrings. "Over my dead body!" Marinette cried. Her hands were clasped around her earrings protectively. Robin laughed evilly. "Your wish is my command" He said as he aimed the gun at her.

Adrien had had a terrible day; his bad luck was thriving. At a photoshoot, he had tripped and tore the shirt he was modelling across his chest. His father had scolded him and forbid him from going to school the rest of that day, which for Adrien was the worst punishment imaginable. He had sat in isolation in his room all day, listening to Plagg's rants about how he deserved more cheese. Finally, the sun had gone down and it was Chat Noir's turn for patrol. Soon, he was calmly bouncing from one rooftop to another, watching the quiet streets of Paris. But something caught his attention. It was far away, but a girl was being followed by a hooded boy. It seemed she didn't see him. But she did. She sidestepped into an alley and her blueish-black pigtails fluttered at the sharp turn. Marinette? Chat thought. The boy followed her and Chat boiled with anger. She was in danger and he was so far away, when he got there he feared the worst. He ran as fast as he ever had but it still seemed forever as he jumped from house to house. He was so close now he could hear them. "Over my dead body!" Marinette cried. As Chat landed on the next roof, he fell and was hanging on the railing. He started to panic. The leather suit at his left leg had been caught and he couldn't pull himself up. He could see what was happening now and everything became worse. This guy had a gun.

Marinette watched as Robin's fingers danced along the trigger of the gun, his expression filled with amusement. Marinette searched her surroundings frantically. She eyed a large stick near her, but only for a moment so Robin didn't catch on. In this time, she had been pushed toward the wall, but she took a small step toward Robin. "Ready to give 'em up?" he asked with a toothy grin, not dropping his gun. It all happened in a split second. In a skilful movement, she flicked the stick up with her foot and smashed it against the gun knocking it flying behind her. She twirled the stick in her hand and crouched slightly, ready for a fight. She knew she wasn't ladybug right now, but nobody was around and the adrenaline in her encouraged her to fight. Then, somebody jumped down alongside her. "Chat?" Marinette was really confused and worried. Had he seen her fight? Chat Noir turned and smiled at her, but Marinette could see the worry in his eyes. Seizing this moment, Robin smashed the stick with a kick and the wooden shards scarred Marinette's face. This crossed the line for Chat. He was ready to smash him over the head with his baton when Robin turned on his heel. A black limousine waited for him. He was halfway in the car when he smiled. "Does he know Marinette?" he shouted. They looked at each other, Marinette guilty and Chat confused. Robin's laugh echoed through the alley way. "Of course not!" Robin cackled, "But don't fret Marinette. There are more of us and soon the secret will be out. The cat will be out of the bag!" Marinette shivered. There are more of us… who else knew? Before Chat could follow the car, Robin threw a bag out the window at them. Purple smoke was floating out of it. Chat coughed and put a handkerchief to his mouth and nose, but Marinette was defenceless. Slowly the world drifted into darkness and she felt some strong hands gently catch her. When she woke, she was laying on her bed with Chat sitting at her desk chair. As she sat up, she saw all the events that happened in the previous hour flash before her eyes. She coughed and shook her head, recalling those last few words Robin had said to her. Chat walked over to her and sat on the edge of the bed. "What the hell were you doing out at that time of night?!" he cried. "School library…" Marinette managed to say. Her blue eyes searched his striking green ones, but instead of anger she saw fear and worry. She watched him with curiosity, waiting for another question. "What was he talking about Mari?" his face was full of concern. She just sighed. "I'm…...Sorry…..." Marinette's voice wobbled. She didn't know what she was doing, but she crawled toward him and they embraced in a tight hug. Marinette wept into his chest and he rested his chin on her head. They stayed like that, comfortable for what seemed like hours, but was only a few minutes before Chat's ring beeped and he needed to go. "Bye Purrincess," Chat said jokingly as he and Marinette walked up the stairs to the balcony. Ignoring the pun, she smiled and waved him off as he stood on the edge of the balcony. "I'll be back tomorrow to discuss your safety plan," He said with a serious smirk. Marinette rolled her eyes. She didn't need protecting. "Chat, I don't need to be watched 24/7," Marinette said sternly with annoyance clear in her voice. Chat held her shoulder and looked her in the eyes, which made Marinette's heart skip a beat. "You heard him, there are more and he will be back," Chat said softly, "I don't want you getting hurt". With that note, he two-finger saluted her and dropped off the balcony railing. When no-one was around, Tikki flew out in front of Marinette with a concerned and slightly amused look written on her face. "You are in some pretty deep trouble now," Tikki said, looking Marinette in the eye. Marinette sighed. "Robin is no problem for Ladybug," Marinette said, challenging Tikki. Tikki smiled, looking at where Chat had been. "I think you know what I meant," Tikki said with a mischievous smile. Marinette blushed a light pink. She held onto the railing and looked to the stars. She knew that whatever happened, herself and her heart were in trouble.
