Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir

Chapter 2: A Favor

Hair the color of cream blonde, something that he had never seen before, but it could also be bleached or part of her transformation, but more vividly, her eyes, they are the shade of violet silver, something that he had never encounter once before until now. Phoenix, a newcomer to their ranks of superheroes, and is also the latest sensation over all the media in Paris as she stir up the interest of the various people.

"Plagg, have you ever heard of a Phoenix?" Adrien asked his kwami when in the privacy of his room as he looked out from the windows at the clear skies.

"No, I'm hungry Adrien, get me some Camembert,' Plagg bugged Adrien as he floated up beside of him, hoping for the boy to get him some more.

"You just finished one box of it," Adrien pointed out with a sigh as he sat down on the chair in his room and reclined against it.

"It's never enough," he whined, wanting to pig out on it before the next attack so that he would have energy to transform.

"Fine, I'll get you some later," Adrien said as he closed his eyes for a moment.

"Why? Are you perhaps daydreaming of a certain Ladybug?" he teased nudging the boy in his check with a cheeky grin of his own.

"P-Plagg!" Adrien stuttered, "I was not," he informed the other with a hint of blush on his cheek.

"How cute, or have your heart been captivated by that lady called Phoenix," Plagg continued to tease as he watch the Adrien's expression become more flushed with embarrassment.

"I'll not get you your camembert if you continue," Adrien complained as he watched his kwami's fallen face of being bullied by him.

"Fine," the black kwami grumbled and became silent again not happy with the turn of table.

"Phoenix, what a mysterious person you are," he thought to no one in particular, but the way she was able to capture and hold a person's attention, makes him wonder who and how she is like behind the mask.

Though he has to admit that she has captured his attention with those profound eyes of her and the curves of her body that made even him blush at the thoughts of it. He is after all still a teen and it is after all part and parcel of growing up. He sighed out tiredly as he checks the time before getting up and picking up his bag to go for a meeting that Natalie had scheduled in for him.

"Blanche, Blanche DeSangre, nice to meet you all," a leggy platinum cream blonde with vivid violet eyes greeted everyone in the meeting room as she was introduced to the people there for the meeting.

"Nice to meet you as well Lady DeSangre," Gabriel Agreste greeted formally and politely as he shook her hand.

"Blanche is fine," the leggy blonde said as she smiled kindly at Gabriel before she turned over to extend her hand for a shake with Adrien as she did with everyone else in the room.

It was just discussion about advertising direction, the preview of the new clothesline and a few other things that Adrien did not really take note of. The female Blanche, her eyes is similar to that of Phoenix but it did not hold the same amount of silver in it, and yet it was just as captivating enough to make any one to go weak in their legs if they were to look deep into her pair of unique eyes.

"Lady DeSangre will be featured in our newest line of design for a magazine and has graciously honor our brand as well in the upcoming photo-shoot set for this new season along side with Adrien," Gabriel made the announcement to the various people present.

The news it surprised Adrien, though why was he not informed about it earlier. Glancing over at his new partner for this season, he saw the look of indifference in her eyes as she smiled kindly at everyone present with the presence that of royalty.

From the beginning he noticed the way that his father had not address her by her name as he did with him, but instead had put a 'Lady' in front of her surname. Though Blanche had corrected him a few times, but it in the end she did not say anymore knowing that it would be impossible with how did not change it.

When the meeting was over, there were few that lingered behind to talk and mingle, and Adrien did the same, as he was slightly curious about his new partner.

"Lady DeSangre?" he called out unsure of himself, though a little bit nervously as well as he watches her turn to regard him with the same polite smile that did not quite reach her eyes.

"Blanche is fine, there is no need for formalities," she informed him politely as the rest of the people who were talking to her earlier, started to leave the meeting room.

"I'm sorry I was not quite well informed about this partnership between us, thus my surprise during the meeting earlier," he managed out drawing his eyes away from her own for a moment so that his mind will not draw a sudden blank. 'Was this how people regarded him when they look at him?'

"It is a small favor that I owe a friend and is really nothing, I do look forward to working with you," Blanche told him as she stood before him all poised and proper.

"I look forward to working with you…Blanche," he return the politeness, and calling her by her name as opposed to how his father had called her and refer to her with such formality.

"Likewise," she returned with a polite smile, shaking his hand for the final time before she turn to leave the meeting room.

The smile on her face fell as soon as she is alone as a mask of indifference settled upon it, her violet eyes harden into ice that she hid behind of her sunglass. Adrien however remained behind in the company to meet with Natalie to ask for more information regarding about his future partner, especially about the way they had address her that had caught his curiosity.

"Let's return back to the house," Blanche gave the order as she settled herself comfortably in the back seat of the car, closing her eyes as she rested during the ride.
