Anddddd I'm back! Right?

Yeah, I am. So, this is the second chapter! This will have... lots of chapters. And I'll still write lots more after the reveal.

Just saying, Reveal will be in a random chapter. Maybe next chapter. Maybe not.

On with the Story!

Chat Noir leaped across the rooftops, observing the area for his beloved Lady. He decided to also try and find out what the Akuma's power was. Apparently nobody had been harmed yet, so he had no chance of discovering unless Life-Sucker randomly shouted it aloud to the whole of Paris. Unlikely.

So far he had nothing yet apart from that the Akuma wanted to touch you. And then Chat felt a texture on his cheek. He spun round, frowning, but his mood brightened when he saw his crush.

'Kitty, no time for puns. My best friend Marinette's father has been akumatized, because his niece Bridgette tried to murder him. Don't let him touch you, because if you do then you have 24 hours before your life is fully sucked out of you, and during the process you are muted, you fade, and you are paralyzed.' Ladybug warned him.

'Woah, bugaboo, no need to act so pawfect! And what's this about no time for pawsome puns? Fine, I pawmise, for you My Lady.' Chat winked at Ladybug, who rolled her eyes.

'Honestly Chat! Oh, and about what I said last night...' Ladybug's voice became quiet, and Chat's face fell. 'Don't ignore it, please.'

Chat sighed in relief, and then they began moving around Paris, searching for the akuma. They saw him, with a white skintight suit. The smiling face Adrien knew of had become a constant look of anger.

'Dad!' Ladybug cried, and Chat shot her a quizzical look.

Ladybug fake laughed. 'Oh, he treated me like a daughter. He even sprayed my hair blue like Marinette's, look!'

Ladybug turned her head to show Chat the blue hair in bunches.

Chat was going to ask if she was Marinette, but he assumed not, after all the evidence he'd been given. To be honest, Tom treated everyone like his own child; he was an astonishingly kind person. All good qualities, like compassion, respect, humour etc. And Sabine shared all those traits, making a caring girl named Marinette.

'Look, there's Life-Sucker! And he just touched his wife, Sabine!' Chat nudged Ladybug. 'We need to stop him!'

Ladybug screamed.

'I need to get out of here, Chat. You can do this on your own. By the way, the akuma would be in his cupcake-patterned watch.' She whispered, and Chat scooped her up in his arms.

She ordered, 'Take me to... The bakery. It's Marinette's House. Just outside it, please.' Chat nodded, and took her to the door. Then she ushered him away.

'You've got to do this alone. Practice makes perfect, right? In case I'm akumatized or something.'

And then they parted.

o0o

Marinette was wailing, wailing, wailing. Hawkmoth had got to Tom, her father, and had turned him against Sabine, her mother. She had 24 hours to save her, or rather Chat did. But what if he needed a Lucky Charm?

Oh damn, thought Marinette. Chat needs a Lucky Charm, doesn't he? Of course, I should have expected this, because a duo is nothing when it's a solo. Marinettte then realised that she was thinking aloud.

'MARINETTE! None of your 'Oh Damn's' please!' Scolded the red and black spotted kwami called Tikki.

'Tikki! You're a kwami, not a human, so you don't learn things like that in your Kwami School, whatever. And I'm annoyed, so just let me have my fun. Please?'

Tikki crossed her feet, and nodded.

'You know what you need to do, Marinette!'

'Yep. Spots On, Tikki!'

Nothing happened.

Tikki looked unimpressed. 'Oh Marinette, what you need to do is feed me before you transform! Two cookies ought to do it.' The kwami stared up at Marinette innocently. Marinette sighed, grabbed two chocolate chip cookies and placed them on a plate.

As Tikki munched on her cookies, Marinette wondered how Chat was doing without her.

Tikki finished her cookies, and Marinette said those magic words.

'Spots on!'

o0o

Chat's ring was beeping, but he still kept Life-Sucker busy. Surely Ladybug had transformed back and was coming for him? He opened his metal stick, and Miraculous-Called Ladybug.

'Chat, I'm coming, so don't panic, and I got a long bottle opener. I'm thinking, you lead Life-Sucker to the square

and make sure that he's on the ground when I come. I'll fish the watch off him, and break it, and then the usual. Got that?'

'Of course, m'lady.' Chat replied. And then he went back to Life-Sucker. Chat began running at his opponent's pace, but slightly ahead. Then they reached the square, and Ladybug swung from a rooftop to another, but stopped midway, and then she landed beside Chat.

'Cats always land on their feet apparently. Well, so do Ladybugs!' Ladybug winked at him.

'Did you just flirt?' Chat tilted his head at Ladybug, who responded with a cheeky, 'Perhaps.'

'Bugaboo, I gotta go, my ring's beeping. Be back soon!' Chat told her. Then he boosted himself towards his father's mansion, and detransformed.

'Camembert! Come on, Adrien! You need to transform as well, don't you?' Plagg groaned.

'I know, I know. Here, take a plate.' Adrien was in a good mood, so he gave Plagg a plate smothered with Camembert.

Much to Adrien's joy, Plagg had some manners although he was extremely rude, so he shut up while he was munching his energy snack.

'More... More...' Plagg complained grumpily.

'No Plagg. You don't need it. Now, Claws Out!'

Something which would have made Plagg cry had he been sensitive was that he never needed as much Camembert as he got, so Adrien was thinking of giving him as much Camembert as his size, which was the smallest fraction of how much Plagg was used to.

Plagg was sucked into the ring, reluctant as usual, and the skintight black suit covered Adrien. And then he rushed to the square.

'So glad you're here, kitty. We're exchanging small talk. Now, get him on the floor!'

Chat swiftly pushed Life-Sucker down, and Ladybug, from a distance, fished the watch off and calmed Life-Sucker down as he gasped and gushed about how 'great' Hawkmoth was.

And then Chat signalled a goodbye to Ladybug, and headed to his home.

o0o

Marinette's father, or Ladybug's father, stayed down as Ladybug tossed the bottle opener into the sky.

'Miraculous Ladybug!' She yelled at the top of her voice.

Tom awoke on the floor, on his back.

'Mr. Dupain-Cheng, are you alright? By the way, I simply adore your pastries.' Ladybug comforted him. Tom beamed, blushed and bowed his head.

Ladybug gave him a last thumbs up, and headed to their house.

o0o

Adrien tried to sleep, he truly did. But a dream was fighting to overtake him, and he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep if it did. But then he let himself see it, even though he didn't know if it was a dream or a nightmare.

'Chat Noir, is it?' A dark voice rang through his mind.

Adrien thought, Yes.

'Ah. Of course. You recognise my voice, don't you? By the way, I'm flashing an evil smile right now.'

I don't care, Hawkmoth.

'Such attitude will get you nowhere, foolish child.'

Look, I don't know why you're invading my mind, but get the hell outta here. And I'm not a child. I'm a teenager.

'Language, Adrien. Now, please be nice or else I'll- Hmm... Would you like to hear your mother's sweet voice again?'

No. Go away. (Adrien's anger is rising in real life and in his dream)

'What's that? Yes? Oh, of course, my boy.'

NO! LOOK, JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT AND JUST GET THE HELL OUT OF MY DAMN MIND!!!

(Hawkmoth is now using Adrien's mother's voice)

'Adrien, sweetie. Can you tell me your exam results, please darling? You know how long I've been asking.'

No. No, no, no, no, no and no. I know you're not her, Hawkmoth.

'Adrien? I am not Hawkmoth! I used to fight him as Ladybug, before I died. Perhaps this generation's Ladybug will die as well, eh? Oh, and the exam results? I already know them, you spoilt brat.'

(An F scribbles itself across Adrien's mind)

HAWKMOTH, OKAY! I GIVE IN TO YOU, NOW TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT!

'I do not want anything, boy. I would like to tell you something.'

Then tell away. Just please, don't torture me!

'I thought Chat Noir was brave, but of course. I AM HAWKMOTH, AS YOU KNOW. AND JUST TO MAKE IT A FAIR FIGHT, I AM WARNING YOU: I AM COMING, SINCE MY STUPID AKUMAS ARE DOING NOTHING.'

(Adrien goes unconscious)

o0o

Marinette felt it. Her partner was having a vision. A bad one. And so she waited for patrol next night, staying asleep and missing school.

When it was time, she fed Tikki a cookie, and exclaimed, 'Spots on!'

Ladybug waited for Chat Noir, so that she could ask him what happened in the vision. And maybe he felt that weird vibe that she got and the weird voice she heard that had said, 'Hawkmoth is coming'

About half an hour later, Chat strolled in casually, and blushed profusely when he saw Ladybug. Creepy.

'Chat! You have a lot to explain!' Ladybug waved to Part Two Of The superhero duo. 'I got a weird vibe that you had a vision. I know you did, so tell me what happened in your future seeing thingy and don't you dare gape at me!'

Surprise surprise, Chat gaped.

'Right,' Chat told her, 'So there was Hawkmoth's voice, and I was telling him to get out of my mind. He was like 'foolish child' and it made me feel all destinyish. I know that's weird, but yeah. And, like, he tortured me because my mother is dead and was the Ladybug before you, and he was stealing her voice and asking me what my exam results are, then I called him Hawkmoth while he had her voice, and she called me a brat so I gave in, I'm really sorry Ladybug, and he told me that he was coming for us all because his 'stupid' akumas weren't doing anything and... Yeah. Oh, and while he had my mother's voice he said 'What if this generation's Ladybug dies for Paris as well?' Or something like that. So, that's my vision. In short. Want to hear the long version?' The words tumbled out of Chat's mouth.

'No, kitty, I think that's enough. I got the super super short of that. An akuma butterfly said, in a super squeaky eerie voice, 'Hawkmoth is coming.''

And then they exchanged talk.

After a few hours, Ladybug's earrings beeped for some reason. Then she said her goodbyes and glanced at the sky. The clouds wrote a message.

Go, go, go, Ladybug!

Go, go, go to the place where Tikki was healed.

And so she did. She swung her yo-yo and attached it to the furthest place she could go in the direction of the healer's house, and repeated it again and again until she reached the house.

o0o

Master Fu crossed his fingers. Hopefully Ladybug got the message. He looked out the window, and saw Ladybug detransform in a dusty alley, and opened the door to greet her.

'Ah, Marinette. Or should I say Ladybug?'

'Marinette, when I'm Marinette. Ladybug, when I'm Ladybug. And how do you know who I am? Oh dang, I've been showing everyone as I transform, haven't I? Oh no.'

'No, Marinette. I am Master Fu, the Guardian Of The Miraculouses. Look, I have the turtle Miraculous.' He showed her his wrist, which had a green bracelet. Marinette nodded slowly, and waited for him to continue.

'Remember the day when you helped me cross the road and then gave me a pastry? I saw through the clumsy, blushing girl. I saw the kindness within you and saw the potential to be a Ladybug. And so I gave you those earrings, and I gave you Tikki.'

Marinette dipped her head up and down gradually. 'Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.'

'Yes.' Master Fu replied.

'What powers does the turtle Miraculous give you?'

'Shhhh. It's a secret.'

Marinette then remembered something else she had to tell Chat Noir, so again she missed school. She slept in, and transformed twenty minutes after school ended for patrol.

Approximately 40 minutes later, Chat arrived.

'Chat?'

'Yeah?'

'When the Akuma Butterfly came to me, it said other stuff too. This is all of what it said, "Hawkmoth is coming."'

'And?' Chat questioned.

'Get ready for a dance party.'

'Really?'

'Yep.'

'Wow. Just... wow.

Again, short chapter, I know, but next chapter will be... quite long like maybe 5k-10k words?
