Marinettes pov
It was silent for a bit before I decided to speak up.
"Back in Paris people often wondered why I cherished my friendship's so much and why they meant so much to me. And the truth is I was scared that I wouldn't find anymore. And I still am I guess." I shrugged then continued.
"Just Like Adrien was." Nino smiled, then went on when I didn't speak. Adrien, we had been friends. Granted we weren't as close as I wanted to be in my early teen years, but friends.
"Has he spoken any of me?" I asked, Curiosity taking over.
"Yeah. He was almost as worried as Alya, but was well... more self controlled over it. You know he moved out of his fathers." I nodded at him, I assumed so, as Nino continued.
"He's living with us now, me, Alya and Him." Nino smiled, turning his head from the street and down to me.
"They were at the venue tonight, dose he know about me being with the band?" I asked shuffling my feet looking at him.
"As far as I know, no. But I think he has a sneaking suspicion, a familiarity to you I guess." Nino shrugged.
"Well, I'm happy with what my life has come to. I'm happy with where I am now, with band, with you guys. If you would have told me that 5 years ago, I would have never of believe you. I was this girl that didn't have a sense of going straight, only going backwards." I smiled a dry smile at Nino and wiped my watery eyes, he knew what that was code for.
Ninos POV... *There might be a Trigger here, so you have been warned*
As those words flew out of her moth it all snapped into place.
'I was this girl that didn't have a sense of going straight, only going backwards.' She said, it made sense now. The tight red rubber band that stayed on her wrist continuously, all trough half of high school and all the way to now. I knew how it worked.
Marinettes POV...
"You started in high school, didn't you? The cutting I mean" He said softly, and I nodded into his chests. I have since stoped but the rubber band remand.
"It was an old trick given to me by an amazing musician" I smiled, it was Tyler Joseph, an amazing man who changed how my life was within one meaning when he saw my scars as a meet'n greet, the one that I saved all my life to go to when I was still in the orphanage.
"I'm so sorry" Nino said hugging me, at first I tensed then hugged back.
"Don't be" I said smiling through all the tears.

It was Ninos reminder that he needed to get home,
"Can you tell Alya I said hi, and I'll visit very soon. Also uh you know Alya and Adrien walked by, Adrien seemed to have some questions about me." I smiled, I haven't spoken to Alya face to face for years. I wouldn't lie and say that I wasn't excited for our meet up tomorrow. I miss her.
"Will do, Mari" Nino said back smiling and we parted ways, Me back to the band and Nino to wherever he lived with
...
"Ok guys, me and David are going to the Eiffel Tower! Don't blow up the bus Again please!" I yell back into the bus were Kelly and Devin were watching a movie, Finding Nemo, I believe.
"That was one time!" Devin yelled back and I herd Kelly giggle, as I closed the door David close to my side As our two Kwami's following giggling slightly remembering the memory. Me and David walked in comfortable silence for some bit, hands intertwined.
"Is that Chat Noir?" David said, nodding his head to a pair of glowing green cat like eyes on the top of a building.
"Uh, it Looks like it." I said shrugging squinting in the darkness, David nodded.
"You still on for that" he said nodding to the now glowing Eiffel tower.
"Heck yeah, I am" I said and dragged him to an alleyway.
As we both transformed, I took a second to admire my heroin costume.
It had changed from plane red and black polkadot to having bits of black on my arms, that looked like gloves, and the same on my legs making a knee high boot effect with the black wedge part on the boots. My hair stayed the same, two long braids but same color red ribbon braided into them. No other part of my suit didn't change, I still had Same yo-yo that I have come to love and same mask.
David was just like a male version of Alya when she had the miraculous, although his heroin name was 'Red Fox', And his miraculous is a orange surfer shell necklace.
We both smiled at each other and David jumped as I flung my yo-yo up catching A sturdy post on the roof of the building that made up the alleyway, and at the same time landing on the top of a building. We raced off to the tower in a blur, using our weapons to beat one another to be the first one there.
Long story short, it was a tie. Sadly.
"You would think after being a superhero for way more years then me, you would win." David said jokingly but smiling, as he began wrapping his arm around my wasted as we dangeld our feet off the tower. I inhaled and exhaled the sweet air , there's nowhere i'd rather be but here.
"I haven't been here for a long time" I said admiring the glowing city lights.
"You gonna be ok?" he said concerned, leaning his head on my shoulder.
"I will, Time heals the pain...right" I said quoting a song lyric. He chuckled at me.
"You've been hanging out with Kelly too much" He said jokingly.
"And yet, you love me" I said laughing, David nodded vigorously in agreement. We kept going like that laughing our heads off and admiring the view.
"Ladybug?" a small voice said behind us.
I glance behind us and sure enough Chat Noir was behind us, staring in disbelief. With Same costume as in our teenage years.
"Oh erm hi?" I said, but In reality I was quite nervous David picked up on this and spoke.
"Hi, I'm Red Fox, you must be the famous Chat Nori?" he said simply.
"What?" he said shaking his head.
"Holder of the fox miraculous." David said shrugging calmly as he smiled genuinely at Chat.
"Hey Red can you, uh. Go check up with the others." I said feeling small, I took a deep breath trying to clear my thoughts and he nodded hesitated, but left the tower anyway.
"Who was that?" Chat said taking a small breath.
"That was Red Fox, he's one of my partners... I missed you Chaton" I said standing up.
"You left" he said solemnly taking a step back, making my look down self-consciously.
"I-I Know And I'm s-sorry, I...I have a-a—" I said, averting my eyes back to the ground, tears filling them. I shook my head quickly making my vision not as blurred, another trick that Tyler taught me.
"Where did you go, then" he said quietly.
"I-uh Took a brake, gave my M-miraculos back. It was to Hectic with my new family and we uh traveled uh yeah traveled a lot." I said barely lifting gaze from the ground. I was lying, and I felt to bad about it, with explain things to Nino and halfway explaining things to Alya, bringing up unwanted memories to the surface, and not to mention telling Adrien. It all just came crashing down around me.
"New fa—?" he said like it was a new word for him.i cut him off Taking another deep breath, the sweet air of nighttime Paris was now filled with tension.
"Yes." I say quietly.
"N-Now, I came back to tell you That, I'm sorry for leaving you like that, but." I said strat forward dabbing my cheeks from the half fallen tears.
"Oh ok. So that's it? 4 years you disappeared, without a trace and now your back to just say sorry. Ladybug you DISAPPEARED! Some civilians thought HM got you!" He said raising his vice a small bit making me flinch and step back, almost causing me a flash back. I have been yelled at many times in my life, I should be used to it by now. right?
"Ok, I-I s-see how and why you f-feel that way. I'm sorry I h-had no choice." I say with sadness in my voice, stuttering and staring at the ground.
*There might be a Trigger here so you have been warned*
'Your a mess', it said. My head shot up and tears filled my eyes again this time spilling on my mask silently.
"There back, Dema's back." I mumbled helplessly. I defeated then about 4 months ago, my demons. One of the main things that dragged me down to cutting.
I felt Dema smirk, I felt like braking down now. I need Tyler, he would know what to do.
"Wha-Who?" Chat Noir said looking at me with confusion, hurt and concern all at the same time.
"Oh Ladybug! I Sense you miraculous! I will be more than happy to take them off your hands!" A melitalolic voice rang out, my senses were over the edge now. First Demas return
"Akuma" Chat whispered staring out over the city but glanced at me with the same look as before.
Oh uh surprise, hehhe. Oh yeah and if you are confused, Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun are the lead singer (Tyler) and the drummer (Josh) in Twenty Øne Piløts, and Tyler is the writer for the previous songs 'goner' 'Blasphemy' And 'Anthema', he and Josh are very inspiring people and helped me trough a lot of things, I actually went to see them in concert back in October and I request that if you have time to go check them out. Anyway sorry for the long note! But I hope you people enjoyed this crappy story. I might do an POJ and MLB crossover with my OC, I have been playing around with the idea for awhile now so yeah.
Keep your boots tight, your gun close, and die with your mask on if you have to.
