Adrien had had enough. It was bad enough that when Ladybug had come to save him he had been wearing a ladybug onesie and even worse that he had so far totally failed in any way as either Chat or Adrien. For instance, right now, Ladybug had ordered him behind some boxes while she fought the akuma – a teenage boy who had been wrongly accused of starting fires around Paris and was now going by the name of Flamethrower. Adrien watched as Ladybug dodged flame after flame that was thrown at her until finally, the Flamethrower had her cornered. Lifting his hand, the akumatized victim pushed Ladybug into the wall and was about to throw a flame right at her stomach when Adrien jumped out of hiding and tackled him to the ground. Ladybug, who appeared to be in shock, sunk to the ground. Flamethrower stood, but not before Adrien delivered a ninja-still kick to his cheek. "No one hurts my Lady! You hear me? Nobody!" screamed Adrien. For ten minutes, Flamethrower attempted to hit Adrien, who constantly returned Flamethrower's advances with a fighting style not rivaled by anything Chat Noir had ever tried. Finally, Adrien hid behind a stack of boxes, and snuck up behind Flamethrower and snatched the akumatized object – a note for the boy's parents – from Flamethrower's fist. Shaking Ladybug out of her gob-smacked daze, he tore the paper and Ladybug, looking like she may faint at any moment, cleansed the akuma. "You're… you're.." she said before promptly fainting. The next day, newspapers across France were tipped off with an anonymous picture – Ladybug and Adrien Agreste on top of the Eiffel tower – and even later that day, everybody within 100 meters of the Agreste mansion could hear Adrien screaming at a mysterious 'Plagg'… well, who did you think took the photo?
