Since I couldn't upload yesterday I'll just do two prompts today!
And of course Alya Appreciation Week, how could I possibly resist? :D

Alya groaned as Ladybug picked her up once again, ruining her perfect shot.

"You shouldn't be here!", the superhero snapped at the girl clinging to her neck, her face contorted in a frown. Alya rolled her eyes, trying to film Chat Noir over Ladybug's shoulder.

"You know I'm staying safe!", she tried but the superhero merely huffed, setting her down a few streets further away from the fight.

"No, I know exactly that you're running right into the danger again and again, no matter what I say.", she straightened her way smaller form, her eyes radiating out courage and strength, things Alya infinitely admired on her.

"But c'mon, I can-"

"I have no doubt that you can watch out for yourself. But I'm not risking it. You stay right here while Chat and I deal with the Akuma.", her gaze got a little more amused and Ladybug pointed down to the street, "Sit and stay."

With that she threw out her yoyo, pulling herself away. Alya growled after her, her hands shaking of anger.

"I'm not a dog!", she yelled after her superhero but she merely got a distant giggle, then she was alone again. As she lifted her phone her camera was still rolling. Luckily for her it wasn't a live stream, otherwise she'd be a laughing stock in front of her viewers now. She sighed, rolled her eyes again and finally got going again, now trying from the other side. Maybe Ladybug wouldn't notice her when she snuck around and filmed from the other side?

She ended the recording mid-run, then focused on sprinting down the street. As she threw a glance down another street she saw the Akuma just being thrown out of her view, Ladybug immediately charging after it. She would miss the whole fight!

Alya picked up some speed, taking the next corner a little sharper as she intended and thus stumbled a little but picked herself up again quickly. She had to get back to the fight or she would be able to film the end!

Just as she was about to take the next corner to get in view or the fight again an arm wrapped itself around her waist and lifted her up the second time within a few minutes.

"Ah, who do we have here?", a joyful voice sounded from above her and she began flailing as she lost the ground beneath her feet.

"Lemme down! I have to film the fight, c'mon!"

Chat Noir laughed, extending his baton to lift her up on the roofs.

"Absolutely not, young lady."

She huffed and crossed her arms until Chat finally let go of her again, coming to a halt on the flat roof. The superhero turned to her with a million-dollar grin and winked.

"You're not running into danger again, I have strict orders from Ladybug to keep you away, reporter girl."

"What?!", she groaned, throwing her head back in annoyance, "Oh, come on! She can't be that petty that she takes on the Akuma on her own just to have her cat guard me!"

He chuckled before he answered, moving a step to the side so that he would continue blocking the view on the fight for her.

"First of all, I'm her partner and occasionally kitty or Chaton. Don't mix that up, reporter girl. Secondly, she's not taking the Akuma on her own because I fully intend on joining her right away again. I just wanted to do one of her famous scolding-Alya-speeches once."

She grumbled and crossed her arms again, frowning.

"Go ahead."

"Well, Alya, do not run into danger.", he begun with a mocking expression, "That is very bad and blah and blah and we've told you all of this. You really need someone to ground you, you know? We can't do this job all over again while fighting."

The reporter sighed, entangling her arms to lift her phone.

"C'mon, my viewers depend on me. I need to do this for the Ladyblog, I just need to!"

He dryly shook his head, a sly smirk on his face.

"Nope. You don't."

"I-…", dumbstruck, she tilted her head, "… What?"

He shrugged, his expression unchanging.

"I said no, you don't."

Anger rose in her throat and numbed her quickly beating heart, letting the urge to film vanish and the fight behind Chat be forgotten.

"Uhm, excuse me?! Of course I need to! I'm the head of the Ladyblog, I need to-"

"Nope.", he popped the 'p', "You really don't."

Her body deflated and she felt her mouth fall open, shock written over her face.

"Uh-… Wha-…"

Chat sighed, stepping up to her and placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. He even smiled a little, making her feel just a bit more uneasy.

"Listen, Alya, you're getting yourself into way too much danger. Hawkmoth might notice you and I can tell you for sure that he'll grasp every straw he can get to weaken us. And well, Ladybug won't ever forgive herself if something happened to you. It isn't really the danger from the Akuma and we know you can mostly watch after yourself but it's more the possibility that something really, really bad could happen to you. Also, the public TV news are covering the fights, safely and most importantly, anonymously. There's no harm in your theories, in your tweets and your info that you post on your blog but you're an easy target when it gets to running into a fight. Just-… Either film the fight from afar or stick to theories and interviews. That's all we're asking from you. You don't need to almost be knocked over by the Akuma to get good recordings."

Alya looked down to her feet, fighting with her tears.

"O-Oh…", she mumbled. He patted her shoulder and then stepped back again.

"I just wanted you to know. I don't need a reason why you're doing this or the assurance that you won't do it again. I just want you to know what you're getting yourself into. That's all."

With that, he surged back into the fight, leaving her to think about his words.
