Chapter two
Adrien sighed as he got ready for fencing practice. The day had been so long what with Chloe shooting him evil looks and Lila ignoring him completely. He just wished he could have told Lila about Marinette without her finding out who Marinette really was. Still he had to admit at least it was better being with someone who understood him and cared from him.
"Are you okay?" asked a little black creature as Adrien sighed again.
"Yeah I'm just thinking how much trouble the incident with Volpina caused." Adrien sighed. "Chloe hates me, Lila wont talk to me so I can explain and well things aren't going the way I hoped that they would."
"But at least you have your Ladybug." Plagg reminded him and Adrian knew he was right.
"Still I wish Lila would understand. I know that Chloe is just being Chloe but Lila is a different story. And if I don't do something about it we may end up having to fight Volpina again." Adrien told his Kwami as he walked to the gym for practice.
"Well it will work itself out I'm sure. I mean look Marinette is already waiting for you." Plagg told Adrien he looked by the stairs and saw that Marinette was waiting for him and he was happy about that. Maybe there was some good of what came out of the issue with Volpina. He knew as well as anyone that only time would tell.
"Well now Adrien are you ready to begin thine lesson?"
"Yes Mr. Dargencor." Adrien agreed and the two began their practice as Marinette watched them smiling. She was glad once again that Adrien was Cat Noir and that they knew who one another were. After all if they know the identities of their partners then they could work closer together because they knew one another well. Which is why he and her had been talking and hanging out getting to know each other. They already knew their fighting style now they were getting to know the person behind the mask.
"Hey Marinette weren't you going to meet Alya in the library to work on your paper?" asked her own Kwami, Tikki.
"Oh actually Alya is working on her blog and Adrien and I are going to meet her after his practice is over." Marinette told her. "Besides Alya is alright with me hanging with Adrien. You know how hard she's been trying to get me and Adrien together."
"That's true." Tikki laughed.
"Still I hope that Lila isn't going to cause trouble between us." Marinette sighed.
"Why would she? " Tikki asked confused.
"Tikki you know all the trouble that she cause beforehand." Marinette sighed. "She took Adrien's book of heroes, then when he caught her in the park where she was looking at it, she threw it in the trash instead of either giving it back to him or hiding it. "
"That's true." Tikki sighed. "And her attitude after you and Adrien beat her on the tower makes me think that she isn't through and if you two aren't careful you'll have to face her again."
"Well hopefully Master Fu will be able to locate a hero for the fox, before that happens." Marinette said thinking of the mysterious man who called upon both her and Adrien the day after the fight with Volpina, as Adrien, having finished his lesson, walked over to her.
"I don't have to guess who your talking too." he said smiling. "Hi Tikki. "
"Hey Adrien." the Kwami said.
"You finished?" Marinette asked.
"Yeah why?"
"I want to go see Master Fu. He said something about us looking for the heroes and I don't know what he means."
"Yeah that's going to be hard." Adrien said sitting down beside her. "If I what I think he meant is right, he's wanting us to see if we could pick the right people to help us fight Hawk Moth."
"The only problem with that is we wouldn't be able to talk to them without telling them who we are." Marinette said
"Yeah I know, but I think I have an idea. Still we need to run it by Master Fu." Adrien told her agreeing that they needed to go see him. What Adrien didn't tell her was the incident that had happened that morning. Something that lead him to think he knew well who Hawk Moth was.
"Adrien, you okay?" Marinette asked
"Yeah, let me go change and we'll set off to his place."
"Alright, let me go let Alya know something came up and well work on our paper later."
"Okay meet you there." he winked and she knew that he would more than likely transform to get there so that he could avoid his father. A man that for some reason gave her a bad feeling. She hoped that she was right about the hero she decided on, but she had to talk to the master before she could proceed. She sighed and walked up the stairs to the library and walked up to where her best friend was sitting.
"Hey Alya something came up and I have to head home. I'll stop by your place later and we'll work on our paper okay?"
"Yeah but are you okay girl?"
"Yeah I'm fine just got something to take care of at home, later."
"See you." Alya said and she turned back to her blog she had been working on, as Marinette just looked at her friend. She hoped that she wasn't making a mistake and that Alya could handle the pressure. Sighing she walked out of the library and to a secluded area, then like she was sure Adrien did, transformed into Ladybug. Then she took off for the man who gave her, her miraculous. It was time that they got help no matter what the circumstances leading up to it was.
