"Sure I will help you, but I need to make Marinette better first." Chat answered. Ladybug's pure, sweet face in the forefront of his mind.
"Of course, what do you think I am, a monster?" She asked.
"Emelie, you weren't exactly life saving, starting that fire." Chat responded.
"But I didn't start the fire." Chat didn't believe his mother, not for one minute.
"Right, and I'm the Bogeyman." He recoiled from her hand when she held it out for him to shake.
"Of you go, then, Chat."
Marinette looked at him.
"Marinette, take the medicine." He told her.
"Why?"
"I just want you to." He replied, and she immediately drunk it, so quickly and suddenly she nearly choked.
"There, why?" She asked, and Chat winked.
"How do you feel?" He asked. Now, he could finally know who she loved.
"I feel.. Drowsy."
"I mean, who do you love?" He asked.
"I love you, silly kitty!" She giggled, holding him close to her.
"Why?" He asked, and she winked.
"Because you're purrfect." Suddenly, the girl's eyes turned fully blue, back to the cat like eyes he got when he was Chat Noir. "Huh, why are you looking like Ladybug?"
"What?" He replied, and looked down.
Not again.
Marinette wrapped herself around him, smiling slightly, knowing something was bothering him.
The poor girl had no idea the poison was stronger than ever, and Adrien certainly had no idea the girl was about to collapse, and...
And certainly had no idea she was about to-
-die.
