Okay I tried to get this chapter out as quickly as possible seeing it's a continuation of the last chapter and hopefully no one really forgot the happened last chapter.

Midnight Vengeance

Part 2

Marinette quietly opens the trapdoor that leads to her balcony, being careful not wake her parents, then leaping toward the sound of screams. It takes a while to find the source but as she swings down, landing safely on the ground, she noticed that the few people out at this hour were frozen in place with little clocks over their heads each having a different time counting down. She was confused, tired and cold but knew she had to get to the bottom of this akuma.

"I need help with this but how? Cat would probably be asleep." Her thoughts going a million miles a minute. She would have to defeat this akuma by herself. She uses her yo-yo to bring herself to the top of the buildings nearby, having a better view of the surroundings, she noticed a dark figure floating along a street not to far from her. Knowing this had a high probability of being the akumatized victim, she swung over to them, preparing herself for a fight. She runs toward the figure but stops as she hears the familiar voice

"Isn't a little bit past your Claw-few?" The surprisingly smug voice for this time of night voice said, the boy in a black suit jumped over the villain to stand next to the smiling hero in red.

"I thought I would have to defeat this one by myself" Ladybug side glanced Cat, still with a smile.

"I couldn't let M'lady win a fight alone, imagine what would happen to my reputation." Cat smirked with a slight eyebrow raise.

"Everyone already knows I'm stronger than you Kitty but on the other hand this bug needs some beauty sleep." Ladybug let out a small yawn towards the end of her sentence.

"I wonder if the 'great' Ladybug and Cat Noir have ever cheated?" The frowning villain said.

"I guess we'll find out." Ladybug said, running towards the villain once again, yoyo in hand. She jumps high, flinging her yo-yo toward Vengeance's feet. The yo-yo misses and contracts, while Cat's baton shoots forward hitting Vengeance right in the stomach.

"HOW DARE YOU!" The villain boomed in a fit of rage.

"Easy, also I wasn't dared to, it's my job, you know the whole superhero and villain thing." Cat's head turned to the side and was trying to keep a straight face.

"Ugghhhh" Ladybug and Vengeance groaned at the same time.

" Hey! Cat's my superhero partner, so my line." Ladybug snapped back, turning her head quickly toward the villain.

" MY superhero partner? M'lady is there something you want to tell me?" Cat's smirked.

"Not now Cat." The annoyed voice announced with an eye roll to emphasis her point. Ladybug turned her head slightly and noticed the villain distracted by their conversation, took the opportunity to swing her yoyo around the legs of Vengeance, causing the villain to fall on their back. Vengeance quickly regained her composure and untangled herself from the yoyo. Only to again be hit with a sliver baton.

Ok I'm only going to write the whole fight scene when it's an important chapter because it makes it confusing and muddled and takes up a lot of time to do, blah blah blah. However,'there WILL be some full fight scenes in chapters later on and also I will dot point the important parts of the fight ...

1. It takes about 3ish hours to defeat the villain.

2. Cat didn't make many puns or jokes throughout the fight, will find out later why.

3. Ladybug used her lucky charm. Thank you.

"Pound it." The heroines fist bump, giving each other a triumphant smile.

"You feeling okay Cat?" Ladybug questioned with a genuine look of concern.

"Why would you ask that M'lady?" Tilting his head slightly for what must be the 5th time, from the start of the fight.

" It... it's just that you don't seem yourself, not many any puns or jokes and you've been quite distracted?" Ladybug said ignoring the third beep of her earrings.

"I'm quite flatted that you are concerned Buggaboo but I'm feline just great, just tired is all." The smug cat said, quite proud of he's pun.

Ladybug instinctively rolls her eyes and give Cat a smile, hearing the 4th beep of the earrings.

"I guess you are okay, huh Kitty?" Ladybug let out a slight laugh and casually ringing the bell hanging from the collar of Cat's suit.

"But I really have to go now, see you around." Waving at the smiling Cat before running off.

Cat watched Ladybug run off. He thought about de-transformating but didn't feel like dealing with Plaggs complaining and he wanted to walk back anyway, it's not like anyone would notice he was gone. He really hadn't been okay when his lady asked, but it wasn't her fault and there's nothing she could do about it anyway, he was being kept awake by his thoughts when he heard the screams. He couldn't help being swept away by the same thoughts as he rounded the corner and was about to cut through the park towards his 'home'.

Marinette ducted behind a side street alley right before transforming back. The small red kwami flew into her hands and stretched while Marinette put her into her handbag, where a few cookies were. She looked down at the little creature and smiled, the now eating kwami smiled back and Marinette closed her bag. She looked up ready to head home and realised in the rush, she had run in the opposite direction of her house and would have a short walk back. She began walking and decided to take the short cut through the park.

Mairnette to busy looking at her feet thinking about the events of the night and how tired she'll be at school, didn't notice the tall hero dressed in all black. They walked right into each other, both falling over and snapping out of their thoughts.

"Oww" Marinette let out a small sound of pain. Although it didn't bother her to much seeing she was used to it, looking up she notices the other figure get up, she immediately recognised the small gold bell on the figure's neck and couldn't help but smile to herself.

" I'm sorry Miss, I was lost in my thought." The cat held out his hand to help up Mairnette.

"It's alright Cat, I was too." Marinette squinting her eyes as was pulled into the street lights direct path.

"Oh, Princess? What are you doing out his late?" The concerned cat questioned.

"Oh...umm... I couldn't sleep... so I decided to go for a walk to clear my head... yup...that's it... a walk."

"I don't think that's a good idea, there was an akuma attack not far from here tonight, what is something bad had happened to you?"

"I'm sure I would be able to handle myself Cat."

"I'm sure you would but I'm not taking the chances I'm walking you the rest of the way home." Cat smiled knowing he might actually be able to get to know the usually quiet girl and avoid going home for a bit longer.

"That's really not necessary ..." seeing Cat give her an unapproving look, knowing it was easier to play along, she agreed and they began walking.

It had been about a minute of uncomfortable silence, Adrien wanted to try and get to know Marinette but was unsurprisingly not great at small talk, due to lack of experience.

" So, ...umm... What do you think of Ladybug?" Adrien said, mentality cursing himself for the lame conversation starter.

"Umm... She's cool."

"Cool? She amazing, kind and intelligent..." Adrien cut himself of trying not seem to lovesick.

"Well sounds like someone has a crush?" Marinette looking at Cat teasingly. Cat blushed and silence feel over them both for a few seconds.

"Put me on the spot, huh, well how about you? Do you like anyone?" Giving Marinette the same teasing look. Silence feel over them yet again.

"I'm guessing by then silence that's a yes?"

"Yeah but to him I'm just a girl sitting in class with my head on my desk..." Marinette trailed off towards the end of her sentence, while looking at the soon to be morning sky.

"And how do you see him?" Adrien asked questioning why she could talk to Cat Noir so easily about stuff like THIS but barely a sentence to Adrien. He heard Mairnette sigh before saying...

"To me he's the guy with that smile, those eyes, that laugh and the boy I can never have but still dream of." Mairnette let out another sigh. Adrien began smiling to himself hearing what he thought to be such a shy girl talk about someone so highly. Cat was about to reply but got cut off.

"Well we're here Cat, thanks for walking me home, I guess."

"No problem, princess, oh and if that boy hurts you, get in touch with me, I'll make sure he'll regret it." Cat laughed.

"Thanks for the offer Cat but he's to kind, he couldn't hurt anyone, even if he tried." Mairnette found herself smiling again as she talked about the boy who sits in front of her in class.

"Bye Cat, get home safe as well." Mairnette said as she sneaked in the back door of the bakery.

Adrien satisfied with getting her home safe and learning something new about the shy girl with bluebell eyes, began to walk home for the second time. This time making it there and de-transforming right before jumping into his bed, falling asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
