Marinette paced and waited for her mom to show back up at the door. The buzzer went off and Marinette couldn't have dropped her next design project faster than she had. She looked at the video footage to make sure it was her mom and was surprised to see her papa too.

"Papa?!" Marinette opened the front door and hugged him.

"He wanted to see the kids." Sabine smiled and walked in behind him.

"They're playing in the family room." Marinette forced a smile on her face. Her stomach did back flips and she peered over at a big clock. She thought about how Chat better get there fast. More crashing sounds filled the house.

"Grandma, Papa!" Hugo and Emma ran in filled with excitement.

"Hey, you two." Tom smiled and grabbed them both in a big bear hug. "I missed you guys."

"We missed you too!" They cried in unison.

"Let's go play!" Emma pulled Tom's hand and Hugo followed.

"Guess, I'm going to go play." Tom shrugged and walked into the family room.

Sabine covered her mouth and giggled at the sight.

"Chat should be here soon." Marinette twiddled her thumbs in worry.

Sabine put a hand on her shoulder. "Sweety, you're not only Ladybug, but you're his wife. He'll be here. Now, spots on!" Sabine punched the air.

"That's Chat's thing." Marinette let a laugh pass her lips.

"What'd I miss?" Chat sat in an open window above them.

"Chat!" Marinette ran to him and he dropped down using his staff to soften the landing.

He let his staff retract into itself and held her close. "C'mon. It's getting bad out there. We gotta go. Thank you, Sabine."

"Please, call me mom." Sabine blushed and waved him off.

Chat smirked and pulled Marinette around a corner and trapped her to a wall.

"I don't know if I can do this." Marinette panicked and looked down.

"We got this. Yeah, it's been awhile since something this big has occurred. But we have it. It'll be just like old times." Chat breathed hard with excitement. "Back when we were Ladybug and Chat Noir, Heroes of Paris!"

"But we're so old now, Chaton. I just had a baby... I've been out of the chase for months…" Marinette's breathing quickened.

Chat grabbed her cheeks. "Mari… look at me."

She peered into his vibrant green eyes with doe eyed blue ones.

"You ARE Ladybug. You've always been Ladybug. You got this! You're more important than me, Bugaboo. You create things. I only destroy them. Destruction can't happen without creation, Buginette. Now go out there with me and FIGHT!" Chat kissed her hard on the lips and pressed against her. "You got this. WE got this. I'll always be by your side and if I'm not at the moment… Know that I'm following VERY close behind." He gave her a genuine smile and let her go.

Marinette's body filled with a new determination. "Alright, Spots on!"

Chat smiled as reds covered his wife and she became his teenage dream girl. "That's my girl."

He grabbed her hand and they sprang out of their house to fight whatever it was that was destroying their city of love.

Ladybug swung her yo-yo feeling a little rusty. She hadn't prepared for a fight like this. Plus, she wasn't a teenager anymore. Chat kept up, but he appeared to be going a lot slower than he normally would be.

She stopped on a roof and turned to him. Another building crumbled next to them and she screamed and leapt into him. Chat caught her fast. "You alright, Ladybug?"

"Yeah. It's just…" Ladybug looked down at her yo-yo and played with it. "I feel like I'm holding you back and slowing you down."

"Never, M'Lady." Chat smiled and kissed her on the head. "If anything, you push me forward."

The building beneath their feet began to shake and fall. Ladybug acted quick and threw her yo-yo to fling them to safety.

"What is happening?" Ladybug breathed hard and looked over at Chat.

He extended his staff and looked over at her. "I'm not sure. It reminds me of an akuma attack, but… fa.. Hawkmoth is gone."

"That's what I was thinking." Ladybug tried to think of any possibilities when they saw it. What was making the buildings fall down.

"They're falling like a game of dominos." Chat commented watching each building fall one after another.

"We have to hurry before there aren't anymore that can fall." Ladybug swung towards the cause.

"I'm with you." Chat followed close behind.

They reached the cause and it wasn't good. It was what they most feared. Chat's mouth fell open and Ladybug's expression copied him.

"I'm The Destroyer! I will ruin everything in this city for what's it's done to me!" A man in a black skin tight suit and a red viser across his eyes floated above the skyline.

"Oh, shit." Chat cursed under his breath and clenched his teeth in anger.

Ladybug shook her head. "Hawkmoth?"

"No, not Hawkmoth. I work for Peacock!" The man let out a sinister laugh and pushed a button in his hand, sending a missile to destroy the next building next to them.

"Peacock?!" Ladybug and Chat spoke in unison as disbelief took over their expressions. "Who's Peacock?"

"It's not important! Paris has taken everything from me and now I will take everything from it!" Destroyer pointed his trigger at them.

"Right!" Ladybug filled with confidence and jumped from where they stood. Chat followed her. "Where is it?"

"It's hard to tell, but I'm gonna guess it's that trigger mechanism." Chat pointed at the man's hand.

"Got it!" Ladybug swung her yo-yo and flung herself to where the villain stood.

She tried to use her yo-yo to grab the man's wrist, but he was too quick. Chat dropped down onto the roof and swung his staff at the akumatized victim. The Destroyer fought back. The fight turned into a fist fight match. Chat ducked as the Destroyer's fists went for his face. He dodged a kick attack.

Chat swung out his staff and blocked him against a wall. "Now, Ladybug!" He called, not turning away from his opponent.

"LUCKY CHARM!" Ladybug yelled and threw her yo-yo in the air.

An object fell into her arms.

"A carabiner?" Chat questioned the object and the victim got away from him.

"You'll see." Ladybug looked around her. Red and black spots colored the wall beside them and Chat's belt. "Give me your belt."

"With pleasurrrre, my lady." Chat purred and took his belt off with ease and threw it to her.

"Follow me." She winked at him and ran towards the wall and used it as a springboard.

He copied her and used his staff to hover for a bit. Ladybug held the belt stretched out in front of her body before hooking it around the victim in a surprise air attack. She took the carabiner and hooked it to a chicken wire fence on the roof, so that he was trapped.

Chat landed on the roof and put his hands on his hips.

Ladybug grabbed the trigger in his hand and looked at Chat with a smile. "Chat, do your thing!"

"Cataclysm!" Chat swung his hand around in a wide stance.

"Catch, Kitty!" Ladybug tossed the trigger box to him and he caught it with his black bubbling hand. It disintegrated into a million pieces.

A peacock feather flew out of it and floated in the air.

"No more evil doing for you, pretty feather?!" Ladybug swung her yo-yo and caught the feather inside it.

Her yo-yo opened back up and dropped the feather out, unphased. Ladybug twisted it between her fingers confused and then handed it to Chat.

An evil laugh erupted from The Destroyer.

Chat's face became unamused. "What's so funny?"

"It's not an Akuma." The Destroyer grinned in an off way.

"What do we do then?" Ladybug became more worried than before. She peered over at her husband.

Chat thought for a moment. "We could take him to the police. They could hold him until we figure out how to deal with this." Chat tapped his chin with one foot turned out.

"Alright, let's go then. Grab him." Ladybug pointed at the tied up villain.

"Peacock won't like this." The villain seethed and glared at the two of them.

Chat rolled his eyes, unhooked, and grabbed the guy, throwing him over his shoulder. "Don't get your suit in a bunch."

He extended his staff and took off to the police station with Ladybug trailing behind him.

They dropped down and opened the door.

"Chat Noir and Ladybug?" Roger the policeman peered at them in surprise.

"We seem to have a new boss named the Peacock. We can't deevilize anything. So… can we hold the villains here until we figure out what the hell to do about all of this? This is The Destroyer." Chat turned around so that the villain's face was facing them. "Say hi…"

The Destroyer gave the cop an unamused look.

"Lock him up!" Roger ordered around some officers behind him.

Chat smiled, removed the belt and carabiner, and dropped the man in front of the wall of police officers. "Now, play nice."

Ladybug and Chat made their way outside of the police station.

Chat refastened his belt around his waist and pet his long lost tail after handing Ladybug the miraculous object.

"Thank you, Kitty. Miraculous Ladybug!" Ladybug scratched under his chin, threw the carabiner up into the air, and watched it turn into a million red pieces and fix all of Paris.

She fell to her knees, exhausted. Chat ran up to her and helped her up off the ground by her elbow. "You okay, m'Lady?"

"Yeah, just tired. What and who is Peacock? And Why didn't my yo-yo work on the feather?" She peered up, panting, into Chat's green eyes with worry.

"I don't know." Chat sighed and closed his eyes."C'mon let's head back home."

Ladybug nodded and Chat grabbed her by the waist and took them by staff to their home. He dropped them in an alley beside their house so they could detransform.

Sabine and Tom were waiting at the front door in a panic.

"Are you guys okay? We saw it all on TV!" Sabine began to fuss over them.

She did a once over turning them all about.

Marinette rolled her eyes. "We're fine mom. How are the kids?"

"Sound asleep." Tom gave a heart warming smile.

"Those kids can sleep through anything." Adrien laughed and scratched the back of his head.

"Well, we'll be heading out." Tom rested his hand on Sabine's shoulder and dragged her towards the door. "C'mon, mon cherie. They're fine."

Sabine left filled with worry, but followed Tom out of the house anyway.

Adrien flopped onto the couch in the family room and rested his head back on the cushions. Marinette stood in the middle of the room with an arm crossed across her chest, biting her thumb nail.

"Bugaboo… sit. Please." Adrien pleaded with her. He patted the empty space next to him with a smile that melted her heart.

She shook her head and he saw her knees shake. Adrien sighed, put his arm around her shoulders and swung her legs up into his arms.

Marinette let him take her to the grand piano. He sat her down on the bench and he went around to sit beside her.

Adrien rested his slender fingers on top of the piano keys. "I've been working on something."

Marinette's eyes widened and her cheeks became filled with pinks, as a sweet melody poured out from his finger tips. She didn't recognize it. It was beautiful and when he looked over into her ocean eyes… his forest eyes were filled with his soul. Her heart raced back in time to when he had handed her his umbrella in the rain. How she had fallen in love at that very moment, right when she had opened the umbrella. After, it had collapsed around her.

She recognized his expression and he realized what she had meant by hers. They were so young back then, but it was so bluntly obvious. She's just a friend. His voice filtered into her mind along with the song. It had seemed like such a curse, but it wasn't once she had watched the phrase morph into something beautiful like a blooming flower. The melody almost imitated rain and something sweet like honey.

Marinette was in cloud nine and her expression clearly showed it. She closed her eyes, smiled, and bobbed her head to the music. Adrien smiled and kept the melody playing. He could watch her for hours.

The song slowly came to an end and Marinette opened her eyes. He had a hand in his lap and the other resting on the keys.

"I've been working on that since the day I met you." Adrien smiled at her. "I was waiting for the right time to play it."

Marinette leaned into him and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you, Minou."

"You're very welcome, Mari." Adrien blushed,kissed the back of her hand, and stood up with an outstretched hand. "We should go to bed. We can figure out this Peacock thing in the morning."

"Sounds good." Marinette hummed and took his hand.
