The black menace stood on the roof of the grand hotel. His green eyes boring into the back of the retreating figure. He anticipated the right moment to strike, to fight back. Slowly, almost casually, he lifted his baton and extended it, putting the bottom of it directly in the soft snow in front of his prey. The person whipped around, and the cat grinned as the colour drained from his face. Quickly, the man started running, and the criminal kept the pace up easily. Eventually he cornered the man in an alleyway, and he sniggered, his eyes full of hatred.
"Now, stay still, let's not make this painful." He hissed. The man sobbed quietly, too scared to cry out. "At least you have sense." Cat Noir muttered. He advanced towards the man, swinging his baton expertly in his hand.
The man pressed himself against the wall, trying to get away from the approaching criminal, Cat Noir extended his claws, the full moon making them shine. The man let out a cry of pure terror. "Shut up! Do you want someone to find us?" Cat Noir shushed him, tutting scornfully.
Cat Noir took another step, and felt a sharp tug around his waist, looking down in surprise, he saw a yoyo wrapped around his waist. Spinning around, he came face to face with a girl, standing with her hands in her hips and holding the other end of the yoyo, she was dressed in a red bodysuit with black spots, and her blue/black hair was tied into twin ponies with red ribbon. She looked like a human ladybug!
"And what are you supposed to be?" He asked sarcastically. "Leave him alone." Ladybug gestured to the man backed up against the wall. Stepping out of the yoyo, Cat Noir made his baton smaller, and watched the ladybug with a raised eyebrow. "Or what?" As he said it, two other superheroes landed directly behind Ladybug. One was a fox, the other a bee. "Really?" Cat Noir rolled his eyes. "You need backup to take me on?" Ladybug held up her yoyo, "Nope. We just want to get this over with."
The man watched with fear and amazement. As the four heroes and villains started a huge battle. Despite the fact that Cat Noir was greatly outnumbered. The fox wielder (Rena Rouge) used her flute to try and lull him to sleep, but Cat Noir managed to avoid the music notes at the last minutes. Queen bee used her sting staff, to try and paralyze him, yet he dodged it with ease. Ladybug tried to capture the villain with her yoyo, but he knocked it away with his baton.
Eventually, Cat Noir jumped up against the wall, climbing it in a matter of seconds, and leaving the other three behind. "Lost him." Queen Bee stamped a foot on the white snow irritatedly. "We'll get him next time girls." Ladybug promised, "After all, this was our first time." Rena Rouge stooped down in front of the man. "Why was he attacking you?" She asked, in a more demanding tone than calm and questioning.
"I-I-I-I don't know!" The man whimpered, "Are you sure?" Rena rouge probed. "Rena! Give him some space." Ladybug placed her hand on the man, "He's had a rough day, no need to get in his face about it." Rena rolled her eyes but obliged, stepping back and allowing the man some breathing space.
"I was on my nightly walk." He explained as the three heroes walked him home, "All of a sudden his baton thingy is in front of me, and he starts chasing me!" "Well don't worry." Ladybug said gently. "He won't be coming back tonight." The man nodded, thanked them again, and went inside his house, locking the door securely,
The three walked into another deserted alleyway and detransformed, "That cat is going to pay for all the crime and pain he's delivered to Paris!" Alya vowed. "Relax girl, he will, especially now that we have our Miraculouses." Chloe calmed the fuming reporter. Chloe, as you may have noticed, has become quite close friends with Alya and Marinette, due to the fact that she realized one day, that even with Sabrina, she didn't share the special bond Alya and Marinette had. Now, two months later, she was a changed girl, sure she could brag occasionally, but she was a lot more down to earth and caring and all.
"Come on guys," Marinette said, "We'd better get home." The three started walking, sticking close together for security and warmth, Paris was as dangerous as Gotham City in the night, muggers, robbers, murderers, and all that nonsense. Several times Marinette was sure she heard something behind her, but when she turned around, no one was there.
The first house they reached was Chloe's. "See you guys tomorrow." She said yawning, Alya and Marinette said goodbye and kept on trudging through the snow. "Are you sure you don't want my dad to drive you home?" Alya asked as they came to a stop in front of Alya's house. "I'll be fine, my house is just a couple of blocks." Marinette insisted, Alya looked doubtful, but settled down slightly when Marinette said, "I'll phone you as soon as I get home." "Alright then, but be safe!" Alya commanded. Marinette grinned and kept walking.
She shivered and rubbed her hands together to keep warm, even if it was in vain, her breath came out in white clouds and she was aware of the snow starting to fall. The sound of footprints made Marinette turn around, but there was nothing. She started walking faster, and by the time she rounded the corner to her house, she was running like her life depended on it.
"Marinette! Where have you been?!" Her mother exclaimed as she came rushing in. "It's late!" "Sorry mom, I was working on a school project with Chloe and Alya, and I lost track of time." "Hmm." Was the answer. "Well, go get yourself some hot chocolate and get to bed, it's late as it is." "Yes mom." Marinette did as she was told, making some hot chocolate for her parents, saying goodnight, and then creeping upstairs, the sight that greeted her made her nearly fall back down there again. Lying casually on her bed, winding his tail through his claws, was Cat Noir, he heard her gasp and sat up, crossed legs to face her.
"Ah, hot chocolate for mew? Thank you, Princess."
