Third Person's P.O.V:
She immediately pulled away and looked at his pale face, her eyes widening. His eyes were closed, and his hands were limply laying on the ground under him.
"Chat? Chat! Wake up!" She said with worry and put her hands on either sides of his face and shook it. She sighed when he didn't respond. She thought:'There's nothing I can do. He had lost a lot of blood.'
She put her fingers on his wrist to check his pulse. It was so slow, making Marinette panic even more. 'Is his heart still infected? But I made the akuma go away!'
She got up and openned her purse to see a black kwami who was probably sleep next to Tikki, who was eating a cookie. 'This must be Chat noir's kwami.'
"Marinette! He's weak and he needs food! He hasn't eaten anything for a few days when Chat was akumatized! You just get him something!" Tikki said and Marinette lifted her purse up and touched the black kwami's head. It was soft and Marinette smiled sadly when she touched his cat ears. Just like Chat, he purred.
"Why don't you give him some cookie then, Tikki?" "He doesn't eat cookies! He eats camembert!" She said, making Marinette's eyes widen in disgust. "Why on earth camembert? Well that explains the smell..." Marinette said, still a little shocked.
Tikki flew out of her purse and said:"Marinette, you have to help Chat noir. Something might happen to him if you don't hurry." Marinette nodded and said:"You're right Tikki. I have to help him."
(A/N: I know that if you've broken your head, there won't be very serious damage, but here, it can. So deal with it _)
"Tikki, spots on!" She shouted and transformed into Ladybug. After that, she quickly grabbed her yoyo and called ambulance.
A man who's voice sounded fammiliar picked up and yawned. Her eyes widened as she realized his the same man that picked up the phone when Alya called him.
"Ugh...What the hell do you want? Who calls an ambulance at-" Ladybug moved the yoyo from her ear to right infront of her mouth. "I don't give a damn if you have a problem in sleeping at nights! Send an ambulance immediately and don't you dare make an excuse! Chat blanc and riposte are taken down and I found that model boy Adrien whatever his last name is and he's not in a good condition! He needs to get help right away!" She yelled, pretending to not know a lot about Adrien.
"L-Ladybug? You're Ladybug? Oh my god! My daughter Lila totally adores you! I-" "Okay okay I got it. Send an ambulance please." Ladybug said and hung up and groaned. That liar Lila adores her? But she said she hated her when she turned into Volpina!
Ladybug walked towards his figure and looked at his face. Even though it was pale and lifeless, he looked beautiful. He seemed peaceful, and she knew that even though he's hurt, his mind is free from Hawkmoth. She knew that at least his heart might have healed, but then, the slow pulse made her doubt that...
She picked him up. She walked out of the alley and saw the ambulance. Some nurses and docters got him from Ladybug and put him on a bunk. She looked at Kagami and picked her up as well. The nurses put her on another bunk and closed the doors.
A docter stood next to Ladybug and said:"Thank you Ladybug. We'll take care of him quickly. He's lost a lot of blood from his head, but he'll be fine. Also, we found a scratch-a little deep- on his side that it was probably from a bullet. Do you have any ideas about how that happened?"
"Uhh, I d-don't know! I found him in a...um,...in...some place, already hurt. I don't know who hurt him." She said and the docter looked at her, still not convinced.
"Oh...okay then. Aren't you coming with him?" He asked and she looked at his figure on the bunk as nurses put a mask on his face so he could breath better. She looked at them as they injected him with a few needles in his forearm and saw him flinch at the pain slightly, his eyes still closed. Her eyed darted towards a monitor that was connected to the electrocardiogram on his bare chest and saw the line as it went slightly up and down, showing that his heartbeat wasn't in a very good condition. Her eyes were filled with tears at the situation he was in, but she never let them fall anyway.
"Uh, Ladybug!" The man's voice made her snap out of her thoughts. "Huh? Oh, well, I have a little bit of work to do. I have to take care of er, Chat noir. " "Oh okay. Goodbye." Then, he walked into the ambulance.
"Please take good care of him!" She yelled at the docter, and he nodded.
After the ambulance was gone, she used her yoyo to swing over the rooftops to the TVi studio. She kicked the door openned and turned on the lights. She adjusted the camera and started filming.
"Um, Hi Paris. This is Ladybug. The real Ladybug, and I wanted to tell you that everything is going to go back to normal in a few minutes. Chat blanc and Riposte are taken down and the missing boy has been found. I want you all to trust me and him, specialy him like you always did, because he hasn't changed. Many people in Paris have been akumatized and now they are all back to normal. So it is the same for him." She said and looked down, sadness taking over her. The Parisian people were all watching the TV, and Alya was filming everything for her Ladyblog from the TV screen.
She continued:"I know that he has caused a lot of damage and so did Riposte, but let's all forgive about that. Right now, he's not in a very good condition of health. Let's hope he makes it out alive." She said and then stopped filming and sighed.
She turned off the lights and headed for the door, but suddenly tripped over something. She groaned and rubbed her head and looked around and it was dark. Everything seemed very fammiliar. It was like the day that they were defeating stormy weather. It was one of the very first akumas that they had defeated together. When he kissed her hand, she remembered herself giggling at his silliness, and falling even more for him, because she fell for him at the first day they met, when she fell onto him when she was using her yoyo for the first time.
Stormy weather was for a long time ago though. She had tripped over something when it was dark, just like now, but the diffrence was that there wasn't a certain cat around this time to help her with his night vision.
When she was out of the dark room, she went on top of the building and looked down at the white city with cracked ground. It was already very late at night, so late than it was close to sunrise. She still hadn't used her lucky charm. She knew she had to use it so she could fix the damage that has been done.
"Lucky Charm!" She yelled and a very long rope with red and black dots fell into her hands. But there was something strange about it.
The other end was tied to somewhere far in the city.
She narrowed her eyes in confusion and looked at the other end. It was somewhere between some trees. She used her yoyo to follow the rope. At the end, she was in the park near her house. She put the yoyo in it's place on her hips and started walking with the rope in her hands. She looked up again in confusion, and then it hit her. Her face drained colour and the rope fell to the ground from her hands.
The rope was leading her to Victor.
"No no no no...I completely forgot about him!" She said and started running, drops of sweat forming on her forehead. She saw his figure on the ground in a pool of his own blood.
"No." She mumbled, her lips trembling. She put her hands on his cheeks. Even though her suit was covering her hands, she could feel the coldness of his skin against hers.
"No no no no..." she said and tears started to form in her bluebell eyes. She shook him by the shoulders and said:"Victor! A-Answer me you idiot! Please..." she said. All the blood around her was making her sick. She covered her eyes with her hands and sobbed.
"N-No...you can't be dead...not because of me..." she said and shook him again. Even though she had known him for not a long time, he was one of her best friends.
She sobbed and suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around to see Alya with a sad expression on her face. "I'm so sorry Ladybug." She said and Ladybug looked at his lifeless face, not paying attention to how Alya even got there.
She grabbed his icy hand and another tear rolled down her cheeks.
"I told you not to close your eyes..."
"Sir, please help him! He's been attacked by the akuma riposte! I don't know if he's dead or not though..." Ladybug said, her voice cracking in between as she carried Victor towards the nurses and a man who was probably a doctor.
They took him away and went inside a hospital room and closed the door. She could feel all the eyes on her as she sighed heavily, remembering that Adrien is still somewhere in this hospital. She knew she had to go and visit him, but she wanted to see if her magic could heal the people who have been hurt.
She wiped the tears on her cheeks and ran out of the hospital and towards the park. She had a question in her mind:If he was already dead, then why would her lucky charm lead her to him?
She sighed again and picked up the rope. She didn't know how she was supposed to throw that long rope in the air. She threw the end of it in air.
"Miraculous-OW!" She said as the stupid rope hit her head. She groaned and started furling it. After around 10 minutes, it was finally all in her hands. She stood on the TVi building again and took one more glimpse at the city infront of her eyes before throwing the rope in the air.
"Miraculous Ladybug!" She yelled and watched as the small Ladybug's started fixing the damage. They were everywhere. On the streets, between the trees and houses. Her eyes darted towards the hospital that the two boys were at, but not any of the ladybugs went there to fix the damage.
"Oh no..." she said and her shoulders dropped. It took around a minute for the ladybugs to fix all the damage. After that, she smiled as she saw the colourful city with a blue sky above her and the green trees on the ground. The sun was barely in the sky. She heard people cheering as some of them got out of their houses into the streets.
She jumped down, only to have 11 microphones held infront of her mouth.
"What happened to you Ladybug?"
"Did he take your miraculous?
"Do you have any idea who the girl with green eyes and black shirt was?"
"Did Chat blanc harm you?"
"Who was the fake Ladybug?"
"What happened to her?"
"How did you defeat Chat blanc?"
"Did you find out his identity?"
"Did anyone got hurt?"
"How did you defeat Riposte?"
"Are we safe?"
"Who was the missing boy you found?"
"Why didn't the fake Ladybug help Chat noir when Warlord attacked?"
"Is Chat blanc okay?"
"Did you take him to his-"
"STOP IT!" She yelled, cutting them off.
"Why doesn't anyone understand? Chat noir is hurt and another boy is probably dead out there because of me!" She said and got away from the reporters and towards the hospital. She jumped down behind the hospital and de-transformed. Tikki flew out of her earings to her hands and said:"I'm so sorry Marinette." Marinette smiled weakly and put her in the purse. Plagg was still sleep.
"I'm sorry, Tikki and Plagg. I'll get you some food later. I hope you understand that I have to visit them first." "It's okay Marinette. Go."
Marinette entered the hospital and ran towards the front desk. She knew that she had only said Adrien's name, so she yelled:"Adrien..." the man who sat behind the desk was a brown skinned man with black hair and he had glasses. He looked at Marinette emotionlessly and said:"We have 13 Adriens here."
She angrily said:"The one who doesn't have a last name and-" "Doesn't have a last name?" The man interrupted, making Marinette facepalm herself.
"Of course he has a last name! I didn't tell it to you! I-" "We don't let neighbors and classmates in." He said and looked at her with a blank expression.
Marinette took a deep breathe in and said:"I...I'm his girlfriend." She gulped and blushed madly at wgat she said.
The man said:"Okay. Give a few details about how he looks like to penny. She'll show you the room he stays in." The man said and pointed his finger towards a middle aged woman with red hair and freckles.
"Madam, he has green eyes, blond her, about this tall, and they brought him here because of the wound on his head and for blood loss or something! The one that Ladybug brought here!" She said, getting more and more worried every second.
"Oh! I know where he is. Third floor, room number 8." She said and Marinette responsed:"Thank you so much madam! Can you please meet me at that room in 10 minutes? I need you to find another person for me as well." "Okay miss."
Marinette ran towards the elevator and soon, she was running in the hallway in the third floor, earning weird glances at the way she ran from other people. But she didn't care.
She ran towards the door, but being the clumsy girl she is, she tripped over a small chair and face planted to the floor. Right in that moment, an old man with curly blond hair exited the room, making her embarrassed.
"Young lady, what can I do for you?" She pushed herself up and said:"I want to know how he is. Is he alright? The boy in this room?" She asked and the docter looked at the floor, than at her.
"Well, I'm sorry to tell you this, but he almost died because of the blood loss and because of the small infected scratch on his side, due to being shot. But now, he's okay. He is completely okay and everything's in order. His heart is completely fine as well. You can go inside if you want. He's sleeping right now." He explained and got away, making Marinette sigh in relief.
The docter suddenly turned around and said:"Oh. May I know what's your connection to him? Sister?" "Um, uh, no! I...I'm his um, his girlfriend." She said and blushed, and the doctor nodded and walked away.
She entered the room and looked at his sleeping figure. She let out a happy sigh and stood by his bed and looked at his face. His cheeks were rosey, like they always used to be. He wasn't pale anymore.
There was a bag of blood that was injected to him with a needle in his forearm. Apparently, his blood type was AB-.
An electrocardiogram was again connected to his bare chest and he was wearing the white hospital clothes. She looked at the monitor, and his heartbeat was back to normal. His side was also bandaged because of the bullet scratch, and a cover was covering half of his body.
Marinette grabbed one of his hands and intertwined their fingers and put the other one on his shoulder and gently shook him. "Adrien? Adrien wake up. It's me, Marinette." She said and looked at him with a smile. His eyes were still closed.
His hand slightly shook in hers, making her eyes widen. Then, he squeezed her hand weakly, making her smile go bigger. His eyes fluttered open.
"M-My lady..." he said, his foggy green eyes looking at the white ceiling above his head. He still seemed hazy.
She leaned towards his face and kissed the corner of his mouth softly and said:"I'm here kitty..." She giggled and turned his face towards hers. He smiled faintly, blushing slightly because of what she did, his green eyes getting brighter. She hugged him tightly, careful not to move the needle in his forearm or the electrocardiogram on his heart. He chuckled and hugged her back and kissed her neck softly, making her giggle.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Marinette pushed herself from Adrien, blushing madly. His cheeks were red as well.
"Uh, come in!" Marinette said and the door openned to reveal the same middle aged lady with red hair.
"Miss, you wanted me to find a patient for you...um, Mr. Adrien, are you having fever?" She asked, making him blush even more and Marinette to giggle at his face.
Penny walked towards him and put her hand on his forehead. His cheeks were flaming from embarrassment, and the tip of his ears turned red as well when he saw Marinette's mischievous smirk.
"Uh, no! Definitly not!" He said but he looked at him with suspicion. "Then why are your cheeks so red?" Adrien looked at Marinette for help.
"I um...er..." he said, but Marinette changed the subject. "Madam, can you help me find the boy?" Adrien's face was changed at the name 'boy'.
"Of course. Do you know his name? What does he look like?" "His name is Victor Rey. He has brown hair, slightly blond, with bright blue eyes and he's a little taller than Adrien. He's been stabbed in his stomach." She said and looked at the nurse with hope in her eyes. Eyes that were begging her to say that he's alright. The woman's eyes widened and her eyes became sad. Matinette's heart pounded against her ribcage, making her squeeze Adrien's hand tighter.
"I'm so sorry miss, but he's passed away."
No.
This can't be happening...
He's dead.
Dead because of me.
