A message to my followers:
Sorry I've not posted anything in almost a year, I just haven't had the writing spirit until recently. If you follow me it must be from my other 2 stories which are both Mario related so you may not want to read this story unless you are also a Miraculous fan (which is why this message is at the very start). But if you are one of those people I promise another Mario fic is on it's way soon.
Hello everyone, this is my first Miraculous fan-fic! I love this show and out of the love square my favourite has to be LadyNoir so I had been thinking of doing a LadyNoir story for ages.
I originally hard an idea for a one-shot which I adapted into a short story because I felt like they needed a reason to be in the situation and then a reason for that reason etc. However this story that I wrote had fluff and then conflict and then fluff after the conflict and after neglecting the story for months I came back and realised I didn't like it because of that. So the version you are reading is a kind of 2.0 of the story and I am much happier with it.
Also this chapter is written differently because it sets up the story, whereas the rest will be written as it is happening.
Sorry for droning on so much but I felt I needed to address all of that.
Anyway I hope you enjoy reading!

Miraculous Night
Chapter 1 – Intro
Marinette Dupain-Cheng's friday had been just like any normal teenage girl's: wake up late, rush to school, spend all of class staring at the amazingly handsome and perfect love of her life Adrien Agreste, have lunch with her BFF Alya, transform into a superhero and fight magic criminals along side your cat-themed partner, go home and do homework.
Well, one of those may be more "normal" for her than other girls. It's not like every girl in Paris is a secret crime-fighter in their spare time (or more often in the middle of their very NOT SPARE time) but after a year of being the famous Ladybug, Marinette saw regular Akuma attacks as normal parts of the day.
However unlike usual, the last thing the bluenette had to do today was to once again don the red and black spotted suit and meet up with her partner. Because for the first time ever they did not defeat the poor civilian who had been transformed into the most recent one of Hawkmoth's evil puppets.
This particular Akuma was a man who at work was "quite angry" (to say the least) with his co-workers not co-operating on the task at work, so Hawkmoth gave him the solution:
"Multi-man! I am Hawkmoth, I have given you the power to clone and become a team with yourself to accomplish anything! In return I ask you that the first task you complete is getting me Ladybug and Chat Noir's miraculouses!"
So after having to sneak away from the panicked classmates at school Marinette transformed into Ladybug and with Chat Noir successfully beat the three Multi-mans (yep not Multi-men, this Akuma clearly had no respect for correct grammar) and broke the item hiding the Akuma, a leather strapped wristwatch, however what the duo did not realise was that there was a fourth Multi-man, sadly the real Multi-man, who de-summoned his clones and fled to recover from the fight. It was then that Chat Noir and Ladybug decided that they needed to search for the criminal that night before he could do any harm.
And that brings us to now, as Marinette is about to sneak out as the red heroine to find her feline partner and hopefully the self-replicating villain.
