Part 1: Do You Know Your Enemy?
It was a usual Parisian Night.
It was a night for Chatte Noire to make her next move.
She entered through the window of the luxury 5 star hotel, 'Le Grand Paris'.
She had been planning for weeks, the map of the hotel fully memorized in her head, every action carefully thought out and executed with perfection. Everything was going according to plan, until she heard a voice far to familiar for her.
"You know it is illegal to trespass kitty" said a blond figure leaning against the wall. He wore a black poker dot body suit with a mask having 5 black spots on it. How could have she forgotten him! He had been a pain in the neck since day 1!
"Leave me alone" she said quietly before grinding her teeth together slowly and growling under her breath.
"Not before I hand you in to the authorities." He said calmly while showing a small smirk.
"Because that worked so many times bug brains" she shot back.
"Hey, just surrender if you know what is good for you."
She ignored him completely and continued walking down the hallway.
"So it has to be this way, huh?" he mumbled before taking his yo-yo off his hip before launching it at her. Chatte Noire saw this a mile away and easily dodged the attack.
He launched the yo-yo at her again and again without any luck. It was now her turn to retaliate, she took her baton and extended it to a suitable length. She then slammed it right across the boy's face making him slightly dazed. Using this opportunity, she jumped out of the window that she came from empty handed and clearly annoyed.
She then went to a house and entered through the trapdoor to detransform, only revealing a teenaged girl and a small cat like being floating around her.
"Hey Marinette, I just want to let you know that I rea-" the being said before being cut off.
"That I really care about you and I want you to stop blah blah blah" Marinette said back mockingly.
"Plagg I already told you my reasons" she told Plagg in a softer tone.
Plagg only looked at her sympathetically ,he knew after she disappeared suddenly one day everything just crashed down on top of Marinette. She used to be happy and carefree when she was younger but then it happened she became more…. jaded.
"Kid, I'm still sorry for your loss" Plagg said quietly.
"Plagg…. it's not your fault." She said picking him up with her hands.
He didn't respond back, he just curled up in a ball trying to sleep.
She quickly dressed into sleepwear and then laid down in her bed, still hoping and dreaming for the impossible to happen.

She was awoken by the ringing of her phone alarm. She groggily got up, picking up her phone to turn off the alarm. She stretched her arms in the air, letting out a yawn after she was done. She went the shower and turned the faucet to the left. The water then flowed out of the shower head, the hot water flowing down her bare skin and the sound of the water splattering against the tile making her feel invigorated. She brushed her teeth and then dressed in her usual school outfit. She grabbed her purse that contained Plagg and her bag before rushing downstairs.
"Morning sweetheart" said Tom Dupain still tired visibly and mentally. He had bags under his eyes from his long work days and lack of sleep.
"Morning dad" Marinette responded before sitting down to eat a small bowl of instant oatmeal with a croissant on the side.
"Sorry honey, it's the best I could do these days…" Tom said still depressed after all this time.
"It's okay dad" she said trying to improve Tom's mood before he went back to work alone.
She walked her way to school greeting Alya and Nino who were talking outside school.
"Hey girl, how are you?" Alya asked with obvious concern in her voice.
"Yeah dude, what's up?" Nino said right after
"I'm fine, thanks…." She lied to her friends and herself, she knew how she really felt.
With the bell ringing signaling the start of school, the group went to their class.
After everyone was seated, Ms. Bustier started her lesson.
Time went as slow as a snail for Marinette as she sketched in her fashion portfolio throughout all the classes, experimenting with new ideas much to the teachers' distress.
After what seemed like forever, school was finally dismissed. She walked outside only to be called out by someone.
"Hey Marinette, wait up!"
She turned around and saw…. Adrien?
"I saw that you kinda blanked out for most of school so decided to take down the notes for you!" He said politely before taking out a small stack of paper and giving it to Marinette.
She felt her face get redder and hotter by the second and her heart could have burst from the moment. She gave him a dopey smile.
"Th-thanks Adrien!" She said nervously.
"No problem" He responded before stepping into his limo to probably go to a photoshoot.
She put the notes in her bag, still red after her encounter with Adrien and walked home slowly, temporarily forgetting her sorrows.

Adrien was finally finished modeling his father's spring line and entered his room.
It was huge and full of books, games and whatever he wanted to make it seem full but it felt so…… empty.
He put his bag on the floor and opened his shirt's sleeve to reveal Tikki.
"So now your going after Marinette? What's with you and bluebell eyed girls?" Tikki teased.
"Marinette's just a friend Tikki" Adrien explained.
"Still doesn't explain your crush on Chatte Noire"
A slight blush came from Adrien's face for a moment.
"Yeah, but she's a criminal- a thief Tikki!" He said raising his voice a bit.
"A criminal in a sexy, skin tight outfit" Tikki continued with an innocent looking smile plastered on her face.
This broke Adrien, his face was redder than his outfit and his eyes wide open. Tikki just simply giggled as a response.
"Whatever you say Tikki" Adrien said turning on the television, still red from Tikki's comment.
"-nd this is the speech made by Mayor Andre Bougois today on the recent attack on Paris."
Adrien's ears peaked with interest.
"Citizens of Paris, you have all heard of the attack on Paris by a mysterious figure but in all this chaos we Parisians shall-" Adrien turned off the television and stood up, he already knew how those kind of speeches are.
"Tikki, spots on!"
Suddenly Tikki flew into his earrings he owned (Much to his father's disapproval) transforming him into a superhero.

He opened one his windows slightly ajar and jumped out of it and into the streets of Paris.
Adrien jumped from building to building looking around for suspicious persons who could have possibly done the attack.
After 5 minutes of searching, one 'person' stood out. Well it was a large stone being with yellow eyes and was carrying Mylene.
What did she do to have become hostage?
"Ivan put me down!?" she yelled, her voice full of worriedness and fear.
That explained why.
He swung his yo-yo at 'Stoneheart'. But once it hit Stoneheart it seemed to not just bounce off but it made him bigger.
Adrien tried to swallow down his fear. He was used to just dealing with petty theft, getting cats out of trees and dealing with Chatte Noire but not this!
Stoneheart didn't even respond to Ladybug's attack, he just slowly walked towards the direction of the Eiffel Tower.
Adrien growled at the back of his throat and threw his yo-yo in the air screaming out the words 'Lucky Charm' for all to hear.
He looked down in his hands and a loud sigh emerged from him.
This was going to be a long day.

Marinette took another bite out of her cookie while turning on her phone, Plagg on her desk only paying attention to his cheese. She entered her messenger app to be swarmed by messages from Alya about 'some supervillain' by the Eiffel Tower which clearly got her attention and Plagg's.
"Marinette, please do me a favor" Plagg said in an unusually serious tone.
"Yes Plagg?" She responded
"I need you to fight Stoneheart" he demanded.
"Plagg…. I can't" Marinette said quietly. "I just-"
"No excuses Marinette, if you don't stop him who will?" Plagg shouted, trying to eliminate the idea of her not being abled.
"But it's not my responsibility!" She shouted "I already have my own problems…"She mumbled right after.
"Please just this once!"
She knew Plagg was being serious, after all he was only this desperate when he wanted cheese.
"Fine but only this once" Marinette said.
"Plagg, Claws Out!"
Author's Note:
I was wondering if I should keep the name Ladybug for Adrien but I decided to keep it because there are male ladybugs (obv.).
Also if you have a better idea for a title please suggest it!
