Chat Noir Claw Of Shadows II Awakening Chapter 1 Not Done

Beep beep beep went the life support that Adrian was hooked on after his fall into the ocean and slipping into a coma a few minutes later, as soon as Mari saw that she immediately ran quickly to the local Paris Hospital to have him checked on and taken care of. Marionette sat in the waiting room hoping that everything was alright with her cat partner from school who risked his life to save her.

Adrian please be ok please stay with me

Marionette had that repeating mindset of him dead but pushed it away to give her a positive outlook until a doctor came in and sat next to Marionette with a tissue to wipe her tears.

"Miss Cheug right?" asked the doctor.

Marionette nodded wiping her tears away with the tissue.

"We took a look at Mister Agreste's condition and it seems that he is still breathing, looking over his current conditions it seems that he took a really bad blow to the head before you brought him here but all in all he is doing just fine" said the doctor.

"That's great doctor! May I go see him?" asked Marionette eager to see Adrian.

"Of course ma'am he is in room 13A" explained the doctor smiling then walking away.

Marionette got up from her seat and walked to 13A where Adrian was laying down with a breath tube in his nostrils, needle in his arm and on life support. Managing to turn his head to see her lover, Adrian put his hand on Mari's cheek, her cheek felt warm which made Mari sob a bit more managing a smile to appear on her face.

"Hey hey don't cry Mari it's ok I'm still alive...I want you to thank you for saving my life" said Adrian wiping Mari's new tears.

"So I guess we're even" said Marionette managing a broken smile.

"I was not about to let Heather take you away from me," said Adrian with a pained look in his eyes.

Knowing this Marionette couldn't let her cat partner die right in front of her besides the fact that he risked his life to save hers. Adrian lifted his hand up to touch her lover's soft warm cheek while Mari looked down at him unsure if his injuries that he suffered will suffice for a hospital stay at this point Mari had no choice but to let the doctor do his work while she went home that night alone without Adrian by her side.

I just hope he's ok, I don't want him to leave me here...all alone….

Marionette imagined Adrian dead at her feet with his final words saying I love you before dying right in front of her. The mere thought of that made her tear up and almost cry if she didn't stop herself long enough to go to her room then sob on the pillow top realizing that she put her own special someone in harm's way just to save her. Fact was that Adrian was recovering in the hospital even though there was hints of severe injury to his spine and neck, plus the water filling in his lungs from almost drowning in the water but Mari saved him then knew about CPR in order to keep him alive until the proper authorities arrived. Mari wiped her tears sniffling she noticed Chat Noir standing on the balcony of her room, thinking it was the real Adrian she decided to go take a look.

"Chat...is that you?" asked Marionette getting closer.

Mari got closer and closer until she heard a slight pop as if she popped a balloon but instead turned into orange mist in the air then a voice can be heard from the shadows.

"Mari, Mari, Mari you know for someone who brings good luck to this cesspool of a city you're acting a little dumb tonight" said the mysterious voice who came out from the shadows.

"Wait I know that voice...Volpina" said Marionette out of anger turning around to see the so called "fox superhero".

"Where is your dear Chat Noir? I figured he would be up on his feet by now with the way his costume looks, it suits him" said Volpina twirling around her flute.

"What did I tell you the last time Volpina, stay away from him!" yelled Marionette staring at her coldly.

"Or what? You'll change into Ladybug and de evilize me or something? I doubt you can ever do that again" said Volpina sitting on the balcony smirking.

Even though Volpina does lie there was a bit of truth to the fact that even if she did de - evilized her, she would still come back as the illusionist sly fox she was. Marionette wanted to change into Ladybug but stopped knowing that it was pointless to try so she sat down about a few inches away from Volpina, keeping her distance.

"What do you want?" asked Marionette still angry.

"Chat Noir of course but that's not what I'm here for, I'm here because of your little akuma problem with this Heather person" explained Volpina.

Mari was shocked that this fox knows all about that.

"What, were you watching us the whole time and didn't just jump in the fray to help? Maybe if you did Adrian wouldn't be hooked on life support!" screamed Marionette grabbing Volpina by the throat tightly and guiding her to the railing where the ground was below.

"That's right Mari feed your anger towards me, I love it when you do that" said Volpina with a smirk.

Marionette had a sudden realization of what she was doing and decided to let her come back on the balcony but she stood on the railing twirling her flute once again much to Mari's disgust.

"So anyway before you rudely interrupted me your little friend Heather is not dead...she's still alive but at the bottom of the ocean" said Volpina pacing back and forth.

"So why are you here?" asked Marionette puzzled.

"I'm here because I need your help in putting her down forever otherwise this will not be a good day for us all" retorted Volpina in a cold yet soothing tone.

"Why should I help you?" questioned Marionette.

"Well I would get Chat but he's the emergency room at the moment" teased Volpina.

"Ugh fine" said Marionette reluctantly.

Marionette transformed into Ladybug quick as a whip then stared at Volpina still in anger knowing that she has a track record of being the sly fox that she is.

"Oh come on Mari you still don't trust me, I mean sure I lie to you and try to woo Adrian over but this time I want to help"

"You'd better bet your sorry ass is helping me because if I find out you betrayed me then I'm going to unleash hell at your doorstep fox girl!"

Volpina smirked.

"Scouts honor" she put one hand over her heart when behind Mari's back she crossed her fingers signalling a betrayal in the near future.

"Good let's go" Marionette and Volpina jumped from the balcony running on top of buildings upon buildings until they arrived to the harbor where Mari found Adrian lying there almost close to dying. The thought she had earlier echoed in her mind again, causing her tears to flow again but wiped them quickly so Volpina couldn't see them.

"I'm sure Adrian will be fine he always pulls through for you doesn't he?"

"Yes but…"

"But nothing, we will find this bitch and send her a message she'll never forget"

Marionette was surprised to hear this fox speak wisdom instead of lies which is what normally comes out of her mouth but it's as if she might actually change a little...maybe.

"I'll go search around for clues, you stay here in case you know who shows up"

"Of course"

Marionette nodded her head and walked off the pier to see if there were any clues that Heather got up from her watery grave and go after Adrian again, this time killing him leaving Marionette all alone. She was not about to let some asshole take Adrian from her, not by a long shot.

That stupid Ladybug has no idea that I have a plan for her, once Heather gives me my wish to have my sweet Chat Noir wrap his arms around me poor Marionette will give up her Miraculous to me thus ending her as Ladybug...just gotta keep up this "hero" act until the time is right

Volpina had a sick smile spread across her face at the thought of breaking poor Marionette's heart as she looked down at the water.

"This is going to be as easy as taking candy from a baby, if that's baby's name is Marionette"
