A/N: Alrighty, I probably should've edited this chapter a bit more. There is a lot of extraneous words and stuff. However, I couldn't quite bring myself to "murder my darlings" as they say. Again, writing Chat Noir/Adrien is my favorite but I had a lot of fun with Marinette's portion of the chapter too! The next chapter will be all from Marinette's perspective and I'm looking forward to that!

Also! In other exciting news, we hit 100 followers last week... well actually there are 120 of you fantastic readers following and 72 of you who have Holding Out for a Hero in your favorites list! Thank you so much! You guys are fantastic!

"Okay, don't panic. Don't panic." mumbled Marinette as she staggered to her feet. She turned about, trying to get a better grasp on her surroundings. It didn't do her much good. Where was she even at? Not at the pool, that was for certain. She couldn't tell though. Thick metal pipes overhead and metal storage shelves were pretty nondescript. Chat Noir's night vision would've been really helpful at the moment since it was so dark. The ability to turn into Ladybug would've been nice too. She should've transformed the moment the water started to act weird at the pool. Why had she let herself get distracted by Adrien? Marinette bit her lip. She hoped Adrien was alright. He'd hit the bleachers so hard.

Something fell over somewhere in the darkness. Marinette froze. She could feel her heart beating wildly against her chest.

"Hello?" Marinette called hesitantly. Her voice was just barely above a raised whisper. There was absolutely no answer. "Is… is anyone there? Hello?"

A line of blue light flared to life off to her left as some flipped on a light behind a door. Marinette cried out in surprise as she jumped backwards. With flawless grace, she tripped and fell straight back on the ground. Metal clanged on the concrete and the cold bit into her skin. "Who's there?" she tried again, but she wasn't so sure she really wanted an answer.

The door swung open with a whining creak. Wavemaster leaned against the frame, body blocking out the light and casting dark shadows across the ground. His arms were crossed over his chest as he stared down at her. It was hard to tell in the darkness but Wavemaster looked almost triumphant. One thing was for certain though. He was watching Marinette like a hawk. His eyes never looked away from her. The Superhero in Marinette looked for the possessed object on Wavemaster's person. "It's not much but it's just a layover stop." Wavemaster told her with a familiar smile.

Marinette pulled herself up. She'd never had a conversation with an akuma while she was sitting on the ground and she wasn't about to start now! "Who are you?" she demanded.

Wavemaster scowled at her, "Don't tell me you've already forgotten. My name is Wavemaster, remember?"

"That wasn't what I meant." she muttered under her breath. Something told her that was the best she was going to get. At least he wasn't bragging about how he had Tikki or her Miraculous. If he'd had them then that probably would've been the first thing out of his mouth. That or he'd be gloating about how he'd managed to capture Ladybug. Chances were that her identity was still intact which was good. That didn't stop her heart from racing though. "Where am I and where is my friend? You know. The one you threw against a wall hard enough to knock out."

"You mean Adrien Agreste? That stuck up snob?" Wavemaster asked coldly. Marinette drew backwards a step. There was enough venom in his voice to kill someone. "He's not here. It's just you and I. Kinda nice if you ask me. What do you think?"

Marinette grit her teeth and balled her hands into fists at her sides. She wasn't going to dignify that with an answer. "Where am I?" she growled.

"Somewhere safe. I promise you that much." Wavemaster waved his hand through the air dismissively. He pushed himself away from the door and stepped into the room. Marinette squeaked in surprise as stopped right in front of her. Wavemaster ran his hand down her arm. He was absolutely freezing. That was the reason Marinette wanted to pull away from him. Yeah! That was it. Her clothes and skin were still wet from when he'd submerged her in water. She didn't need him trying to make her any colder. It wasn't like she was actually afraid of the fact that she was all alone with a strange teenaged guy without the one thing that made her feel like she could protect herself.

"Ladybug and Chat Noir aren't going to find you here. I've gone through all the stops to protect you… protect us. Once I get their Miraculous for Hawkmoth we can get out of here."

"Get out of here?" Marinette repeated. Her skin was burning from where Wavemaster had his hand on her arm, itching and stinging. Slowly she reached up and pulled his hand away from her arm. "That's really sweet of you but the thing is… I, um, just met you." she explained weakly as she started to inch away from Wavemaster.

Wavemaster cocked an eyebrow at her. "Marinette…" he said. The sound of her name sent something shooting up her spine. "I've been hanging out with you for weeks. I asked you out a few days ago and you said no. You were just too focused on pretty, rich boy Agreste to give me a chance."

"What…" Marinette's eyes went wide in shock. "J… Jean!"

Wavemaster, Jean, pressed his finger to her lips to cut off her words. He threw a wink at her. "Call me Wavemaster from now on."

Marinette jerked backwards and away from his grasp. Horror washed over her as she looked what had been her friend. The differences between Jean and Wavemaster were beyond Marinette's comprehension. All she wanted was some space between the two of them. Half of Paris would've been enough.

Jealous. Marinette was certain that Hawkmoth had preyed on Jean's jealousy to turn him into Wavemaster. The idea sent a lead weight into her stomach. "You were supposed to come sit with us after your race. You never showed up. It was because you saw Adrien and I talking… wasn't it."

"I don't know what you see in that guy Marinette." Wavemaster said. He took a deliberate step towards her. "I'm a much better guy than Adrien. What does he have anyways? Really?"

"Jean…" Marinette started.

"Wavemaster!" he snapped. Marinette winced.

"Wavemaster," she corrected quickly. "We're friends…"

"I want to be more than friends. If you just gave me a chance and got to know me better, I promise you'd like me. " Wavemaster told her forcefully. He wrapped his hands around Marinette's arms and squeezed. His grip was like a steel vice, cold and hard. Marinette had to bite down on her lip to keep from crying out. She couldn't look him in the eyes so she stared at her feet instead. Nope! She'd changed her mind about a satisfactory distance between her and Wavemaster. She wanted to be across the English Channel. All she really wanted to do was pull away but she couldn't. Wavemaster didn't seem to notice. He pressed on voice clipped with aggravation, "Just one date Marinette. That's all I ask."

Marinette felt like she was choking. The "no" she'd given Jean a couple days before still held. She had no interest in going on a date with Jean and even less so with Wavemaster. Something told her though that he wasn't going to be alright with that answer. That fact alone stopped Marinette from speaking. Wavemaster was obviously still waiting for an answer… until he jerked to attention.

"I know, I know." he said in exasperation to himself. Wavemaster dropped his hands from Marinette's arms and closed his eyes as if he were listening to something intently. She couldn't stop herself from reaching up and massaging the place where his hands had been. Goosebumps were raised on her skin. Wavemaster stepped away from her. Marinette almost breathed a sigh of relief. "I've got it under control."

"I'll be back soon. I've just got to deal with Ladybug and Chat Noir." he told her as he ran his hands over the top of his head. It looked like his hair hadn't been combed through as it was drying out and fell at odd angles that were only kept at bay by his swim goggles. "Probably will end up flooding half of Paris to get them to come out but hey! I gotta uphold my end of the bargain."

"Flood half of Paris?" Marinette repeated. Her jaw about hit the ground. Above her she could hear the sounds of water rushing through the pipes. The memory of Adrien, herself, and several other civilians being trapped in Wavemaster's columns of water forced its way to the forefront of her mind. Marinette snapped her attention back to Wavemaster. He was already halfway to the door. "Wait!" she cried as she jumped forward.

"I'll be back in a couple hours. Don't worry. You'll be safe here." Wavemaster assured her. He turned and gave her a small wave and wink. Then he shut the door behind him. The lock clicked and Marinette stood frozen in shock.

"No," she said under her breath. She shook her head. This could not be happening! Marinette sprinted to the door and threw herself against it. The doorknob wouldn't give no matter how hard she tried to twist it. She wasn't strong enough to kick it down or force her way through it, at least not as Marinette. "Nononono!" her words ran together as she beat her hands against the door. "Wavemaster! Wavemaster! Let me out! Don't do this! Jean!"

Marinette was met with utter silence. The only proof that she had to show she'd actually called out to him was her bruised hands and sore throat. Jean, Wavemaster, was gone. He'd left her. And he was going to be royally angry when Ladybug didn't show up.

She fell away from the door. Her hands were shaking, probably from the cold. Definitely from the cold. Marinette sunk to the ground only because she was tired. It most certainly wasn't because she no longer felt strong enough to stand at the moment. Her eyes were only stinging and watering because the light had suddenly changed again.

Marinette wasn't afraid. She couldn't afford to be afraid. Not at a time like this when Wavemaster was planning to flood Paris just to find Ladybug and Chat Noir. "I have to get out of here." Marinette murmured as she looked around and willing her eyes to adjust to the darkness. "I have to get out of here."

X X X

"Ladybug… I don't know what's going on but I really need your help." Chat Noir said. He knew his voice bordered on begging, desperate, and lame but he couldn't help it.. He scraped his hand through his hair for the millionth time. "Just call me when you get this… please."

He hit the disconnect button on his staff and then resisted the urge to beat himself in the head with it. "Still nothing?" Nino asked sympathetically.

Chat Noir grit his teeth and shook his head. "I'm getting worried." he murmured.

"Maybe she's out of town or something and she just didn't tell you?" Nino offered a weak smile that made it clear even he didn't believe that. Nino also couldn't look him in the eyes.

Chat Noir jumped down from his second floor library and came to stand close to where Nino was sitting at the desk. Over their heads the tv was running a constant, but muted, news stream on Marinette's kidnapping. Chat Noir and Nino had already seen the video feed enough times to memorize it. It was shaky video of Wavemaster carrying Marinette away and Chat Noir trying but not really succeeding in reassuring the Dupain-Chengs. It would've worked better had Ladybug been with him.

"With as much news coverage Wavemaster has gotten, there's no way Ladybug hasn't heard about this! And she wouldn't ever leave this kind of situation for just me to handle. Nino something is wrong. Why else wouldn't she call me back?"

Chat Noir's stomach twisted violently. Marinette was probably terrified as she waited in some dark hole to be used as bait. Ladybug was missing in action and not returning his calls. This day really couldn't get any worse. He didn't know who he was more afraid for. However, as much as it physically hurt him to admit, he had to find Marinette first. She was a civilian and in immediate danger. He just hoped that Ladybug would be alright until then. "Have you heard from Alya?" he asked.

"No. The Ladyblog has been silent. She's ignoring my calls… I think." Nino told him before adding quietly. "Can't say that I blame her."

Chat Noir only heard because of his enhanced hearing. "Me neither. Marinette's her best friend. If anything would make her stop posting it would be that."

"There hasn't been anything from Wavemaster. No ultimatum. No threats. No gloating. No ransom note for Marinette."

"I combed through a huge part of Paris to find him and Marinette. They're probably close to the Seine but it's just so big! I can't search it all by myself. The least that nutjob Wavemaster can do is drop a few hints!" Chat Noir groaned.

He hasn't acted like a stereotypical villain. Plagg's voice drifted through Chat Noir's mind. He nodded along.

"Wavemaster isn't following any of the patterns the other akumas have followed in the past." Chat Noir said quietly. "Usually they go after the thing or person that got them akumatized in the first place. Except for having a few choice words with me and kidnapping Marinette, the guy has been quiet."

Nino didn't say anything but he sat up a bit straighter. Chat Noir chewed on his lip. He had nothing else to assume other than Wavemaster was probably choosing to spend his time with Marinette. That definitely didn't help the sick to the stomach feeling that had latched its claws into him since that morning. He had no idea what Wavemaster was doing with her but Chat Noir was sure that he would rather have Wavemaster terrorizing the city instead of terrorizing Marinette. "He has a hostage. Marinette is perfect leverage so why isn't Wavemaster flaunting her around? Why isn't he basically saying 'here she is so come and get me heroes?'" Chat Noir said as he paced back and forth. "Something isn't adding up. We're definitely missing something."

"Ad… Chat…" Nino started but then dropped off. Chat Noir twisted around. Nino looked like he was about to throw up on the carpet.

"What is it?" Chat Noir asked. He abruptly stopped pacing.

"Did you invite Alya and Marinette to the swim meet today to cheer me on?" Nino asked.

"No, they were already there when I got to the pool. I think one of your teammates invited them. They were cheering him on."

"Jean," Nino supplied with a groan. "It was Jean who invited her."

"Nino?"

Nino buried his head in his hands and moaned, "Marinette is Miss Couture."

"Um, you lost me."

"It's what we called the girl Jean liked because he wouldn't tell us anything other than she was into fashion. He asked her out the other day and said that she was supposed to come to the swim meet." explained Nino.

Not that it really made much more sense. That and he hadn't realized that Marinette had a mutual crush with someone at school. Where was Jean in all this? Shouldn't he have demonstrated a smidge of concern for Marinette? He shook the thought off. "What does that have to do with anything at the moment?" Chat Noir questioned.

"Everything!" Nino burst out. He jumped out of the chair and threw his hands around Chat Noir's shoulders. "Jean is Wavemaster. I'd bet my music collection on it."

"Bit of a stretch don'tcha think?" Chat Noir shot him a skeptical look as made a circular gesture with his hands. "I'm mean, he won his race and he'd just successfully asked his crush out. Why would he have been akumatized?"

"What if Marinette didn't say yes?"

"You think Marinette rejected him?" supplied Chat Noir. For a moment he thought that Nino must have been mistaken. Why would Marinette have come to the swim meet if she'd told Jean that she wasn't interested in dating him? Then again, it was Marinette. She was the kind of person who supported her friends. Even if she had told him no, Marinette still would've gone to his swim meet if they were friends.

"Alya would've told me. I'd call her and have her confirm it now but with the whole ignoring thing…"

Chat Noir didn't say anything. Not at first. There was a certain thought spinning through his mind. A very precise comparison that he couldn't stop himself from drawing. 'No' was a simple enough concept. Children could understand it. Animals could understand it. When Ladybug had told him that she wasn't interested in him romantically speaking, Chat Noir had accepted it. However, Marinette had told Jean no and it appeared as though the concept meant absolutely nothing to him. A fire seeped and bubbled through him, starting deep in his chest and spreading through his limbs.

"He had a fit of rage, transformed into an akuma, and took Marinette by force all because he couldn't take no for an answer?" he hissed as he curled his hands into tight fists. It didn't stop them from shaking though. Nino looked at him with wide eyes, dropped his hands off of Chat Noir's shoulders, and took two careful steps backwards. Chat Noir couldn't keep himself from trembling. He grit his teeth and pressed his eyes shut. All he could think about was Marinette, cold and alone with an obsessed akuma. "Marinette should've run. She should've just gotten out. Why didn't she just listen to me?"

He was speaking mainly to just himself. Nino, however, answered. "She couldn't. Not when you were in danger."

Chat Noir grit his teeth, "I know, I know. It's Marinette we're talking about. She doesn't leave people behind."

"You don't get it. Marinette couldn't have left you." Nino shook his head. His words were pointed. "Had it been anyone else, she probably would've run to get help. It was you in danger though."

"I'm not sure I understand." Chat Noir said.

You really are an oblivious one aren't you. Plagg's voice groaned in his mind. Chat Noir jerked to attention.

"What's that supposed to mean?" he snapped irritatedly at the nonexistent kwami.

"Plagg and I were waiting for to figure it out yourself but given the situation, you should know. Marinette has a huge crush on you."

Chat Noir's jaw dropped. Marinette had a crush on him? How was that even possible? He considered her a friend of course. Actually, it made a lot of things make sense. Marinette was always stuttering and stumbling through her words whenever she spoke to him. He'd always thought that it was because she was shy. Then again, Marinette never seemed to have an issue speaking cohesively to anyone else in class. His own father had once made a comment about her having a crush on him. He'd blown it off as his father misreading the situation but had he actually been on to something? Obviously so because both Nino and Plagg had noticed it too. He'd been so blind because of his affection for Ladybug. A lead weight fell into the pit of Chat Noir's stomach. "I'm so stupid." he whispered as he clutched his head.

Yep, could've told you that myself. Plagg chimed in ever so helpfully.

Chat Noir swallowed the lump that was forming in his throat. Jean must have seen him and Marinette sitting together. Chat Noir could've beat himself senseless as he realized just how close and touchy-touchy he'd been with Marinette. Her rejection and Jean's jealousy of him must have sent him over the edge.

"I have to find Marinette before Jean, Wavemaster, does anything to hurt her." he murmured. He stamped down on the nausea and turned to Nino. "Any ideas on where Jean might be hiding out?"

"His parents own a shipping warehouse on the Seine near the commercial district. I can look it up for you." Nino told him quickly as he slid back into the chair at the desk. The computer fired to life as Nino immediately started to search Google. There was a beep from Chat Noir's civilian cell phone.

He grabbed it off of his bed and checked it. Someone had submitted something to the Ladyblog and had been autopublished. "Ladybug and Chat Noir have three hours to hand over their Miraculous to me or I turn Paris into a lake. Don't disappoint. Wavemaster." he read off.

"I've got it!" Nino cried excitedly. "Dupont Shipping Company!"

A feral grin spread across Chat Noir's face. People were already commenting back on the post. There were pictures from various subscribers showing that the water level on the Seine had indeed risen. Chat Noir, however, wasn't concerned. He had the communicator portion of his staff activated and tucked under his ear. His civilian cell phone was still in his hands. His communicator connected once more with Ladybug's voicemail as he typed out his response to Wavemaster's ultimatum. "Ladybug, if you get this in time, join me at Dupont Shipping Company. I'm gonna cat-ch myself a big fish akuma and rescue a princess."

"Really dude? A pun?" Nino asked him with a raised eyebrow. Exasperation was clear in his voice.

"Knee jerk reaction," shrugged Chat Noir. He just hoped that Ladybug was alright. He threw his civilian phone back on the bed before heading to the balcony. Already Chat Noir was plugging Dupont Shipping into his staff. "I'm off to go find Marinette and Wavemaster."

He was out the door and over the railing before Nino could respond. He needed to fix this with both Jean and Marinette. He couldn't allow her to string herself along when his heart already belonged to Ladybug.

"I know that I have no authority to request the information... " Alya replied to the less than helpful clerk on the other end of the phone. She'd only been at this for the entire afternoon. The carpet in her bedroom was most likely permanently flattened from the amount of pacing she'd done. Alya did her best to listen to whatever prattle the person was giving her but ultimately Alya cut them off. "Listen! Forget the authority thing for a moment. I have a good reason why you should give me information on him. It's a matter of life and death!"

There was an irritated huff before a click. "Hello? Hello?" Alya called, hand tightening around her cell phone. Nothing. She let loose a frustrated screech and threw her phone on to her bed. "They hung up again! Can you believe it Tikki?"

"Chat Noir tried calling Ladybug again while you were on the phone. He's getting even more worried." Tikki replied. She looked absolutely miserable sitting on Alya's bedside table next to a plate of untouched cookies and hugging one of Marinette's earrings to her chest tightly. Alya looked up at the clock. That made four times in the last two hours. It probably meant that he was having a hard time finding Marinette too and was looking for Ladybug's assistance. That, or he was really worried about her after not seeing her during his initial search.

Alya scrubbed her face to hide the fact that she was close to crying. She'd been on the phone with the school's administration. Most of it had been spent on hold but she'd been trying to dig up information on Jean's family that could help lead her to Marinette. She hadn't gotten very far at all with any of the avenues she'd taken. She already felt cut off because she couldn't just call Nino or any of Jean's swim teammates up and ask them where Jean might have taken Marinette to. They'd never believe her that Jean had become an akuma. She was about to take to the streets to search the old fashioned way but even that seemed like a hopeless cause to Alya. Paris was just too big to search by herself. Alya looked out her bedroom window. She was running out of options.

"Are you sure you don't have anyway to track Marinette magically through your bond?" Alya asked. She tried to keep her voice kind instead of desperate.

"No, not unless she's wearing the Miraculous." answered Tikki. Her entire body was quivering.

Alya bit her lip. She looked back at her phone on her bed. Nino had tried calling her several times but she'd been on the phone every time. Not that she really knew what she would say to him if she had answered. However with Alya's options drawing short, she was starting to think that calling Nino for information would be her best chance. At least he was her friend and would be the least likely of all the swim team members to blow up on her if she suggested that Jean was Wavemaster. On the other hand, though, Nino was new on the team. He might not actually know anything that would be helpful to her.

Before Alya could give any more thought towards it, her phone beeped to alert her that she had a new notification for the Ladyblog. She'd gotten a lot of those after Wavemaster had attacked the pool. Alya had been too busy trying to find Marinette that she hadn't actually posted anything after liveblogging outside the pool complex. That didn't mean, however, that other people hadn't been posting and commenting throughout the day. "This is getting annoying." she muttered under her breath as she retrieved her phone from her bed.

She hit the button on her phone and fully intended to open the blog app up and turn off notifications for the time being. Alya's finger stopped, hovering inches from the screen, when she saw the notification. It was a guest poster using the screen name 'Wavemaster.' She gasped. "What is it?" Tikki asked as she jumped into the air. "Oh my!"

"He's posting an ultimatum on my blog!" snapped Alya. "After kidnapping my friend! How dare he! Let's see how he likes his post being deleted. Huh, how would you like that you selfish little tick?"

"Alya wait!" Tikki yelled. She wrapped herself around Alya's fingers. "It's the first time he's made contact with anyone since he took Marinette! He might say something about her!"

"All he's doing is using my blog as a platform to terrorize Paris and as Marinette's slash Ladybug's best friend I can't let him do that!" Alya said, tightening her grip around her phone. She started to open the blog under her administrator privilege. That was when she saw the whole ultimatum. "Wavemaster is threatening to flood the Seine unless Ladybug and Chat Noir hand over their Miraculous. Can Hawkmoth really make an akuma that powerful?"

"He has in the past." replied Tikki as she stared at the writing on the phone. "Wavemaster is saying that he's going to be at one of the bridges."

"People are already posting pictures of the river rising. This isn't good." Alya mumbled to herself. She rubbed her chin as she thought about this new development. Was it possible that Wavemaster was keeping Marinette somewhere close to the bridge he was demanding Ladybug and Chat Noir to meet him at? At the very least Alya might be able to catch Chat Noir and get his help.

Alya's train of thought cut off quickly when a startled gasp escaped from Tikki.

"He's figured it out!" Tikki whispered. She was sitting straight up as though she'd been shocked. "Chat Noir's figured out where Marinette is!"

"What?" Alya's jaw dropped in shock.

"He just called Ladybug again. He made a really bad pun but said that he was heading to Dupont Shipping Company to rescue Marinette. I don't know how he figured out where Wavemaster was but he did!" Tikki exclaimed. She sounded close to tears again but this time Alya doubted that it was because she was upset.

Alya switched over to the internet on her phone and plugged Dupont Shipping into her gps. "It isn't far from here. We can be there in twenty minutes! C'mon Tikki. We gotta hurry!" she told Tikki as she whipped around, grabbed Marinette's earrings off the bedside table, and shoved them in her pocket.

Her phone beeped again as another notification from the Ladyblog came in. It was from another guest poster. The screen name simply read 'anonymous.' "Monsieur Wavemaster, I'm sorry I missed your grand entrance. I was out of town at the time. You made quite the splash though and I just had to come back. Chat Noir and I would be happy to meet you as you've requested just as soon as we retrieve Marinette Dupain-Cheng. Until then, LB."

"Chat Noir wrote this. You can tell from the puns." Alya said as she looked the message over again. "He's posing as Ladybug?"

"He doesn't want the people who see it to worry that Ladybug hasn't been around." Tikki responded instantly. "And to intimidate Wavemaster I'm sure."

"Well let's go see if we really can go put Ladybug back on the scene!"

Thank you again to all you wonderful readers! I wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for you!

Guest (anon reviewer): Ahh! Thank you! As a writer that means a lot to me. I want my readers to be immersed. I want them to feel as though they are in the story rather than just observing it. I'm so glad that you're liking the story so far!

AliceKat: Yep, Marinette's earrings are black plated when in civilian form much like how Adrien's ring is silver. And yes, Tikki was in Alya's pocket. Protective mama bear Alya for the win! As far as with Jean/Wavemaster's repeated lines, I like to call those "callbacks" lol. I like to use the same (or similar) words or phrases to drive home the similarity between two characters. I did it with Hiro and Tadashi/Chiune in my BH6 fanfic Scientist. I use callbacks a lot in chapter five too, especially with Chat Noir/Adrien.

peste21: I almost wrote it so that Marinette did kind of get sick. However, it didn't quite mesh with the timeline for the story so I left it on the plotting board. I also knew that I wanted her to be without Tikki early on but just wasn't sure to go about it. I think I tried several different angles before I settled on "lost earrings." I'm glad that it has created an awesome sense of danger. As far as Wavemaster goes, I simply had an archetype in my head and he kinda evolved from that. He pretty much became a direct antithesis/foil for Adrien/Chat Noir.

Kameo1: Don't be nervous! The best is yet to come. I believe that Chat Noir, as silly and ridiculous as he can be, is actually a pretty adept hero. I believe the same goes for Marinette.

Phoenix-LOL: OHHH! Thank you! I update here and on AO3 every Saturday but on Fridays on Tumblr.

Jessica Jayme Bell: No spoiler but it will be ;-)

Willow (anon reviewer): Thank you so much!

Rose. : Muhaha! Ignore my evil cackling!
