Traditional Twist

Chapter 29: Recuperate

Leaping over rooftops was normally a joy for Chat Noir, but all he really wanted to do was go back into the bakery, transform back to his civilian self, and then lie down next to Marinette. It was a plan he could stick to, and one he didn't have to worry about stressing over.

The blonde was overwhelmed with too many feelings. He was first, happy the relieved was over for now. He felt disgust with the fact he had been underground for hours sloshing through sitting water. He had been in contact with more dead bodies than he could even conceive; making him the most on edge at the moment. More importantly he was for sure emotionally altered by not only confessing his love, but his love had be reciprocated.

Ladybug noticed the shift in her partner as they left. He was probably exhausted. She knows she was from their recent experience. Their miraculouses beeped a second time as they reached the front door of the bakery. Ladybug pushed the front door open and entered the building with Chat Noir.

Almost instantly the two were greeted by a woman wrapping around each of them. "I was so worried about you both!" Sabine grabbed each one and kissed them each on the cheek.

"Did you get the gem?" An elderly man's voice asked. The two teens looked over to see Master Fu sitting at a table with Tom.

"It's right here," Chat Noir spoke lifting his ring hand up.

The elderly man walked over to the boy. He grabbed the hero's hand and examined the ring. "Remarkable," he uttered over a third beep from the miraculouses. He began to press a hand against Chat Noir's armor. "I see it made some modifications to your suit. Did anything else change?"

The blond nodded at the same moment a flash of red light filled the room. Marinette emerged and Tikki plopped on her shoulder. "I'm exhausted! All that action has me pooped," the Kwami squeaked. Marinette picked up the red big and gently but

A green light flashed after hearing the red kwami speak. "My poor aching body!" The cat Kwami said landing in Adrien's hands. "How are you still standing kid?"

Adrien shrugged. The cat narrowed his green eyes at the boy. "Kid, you and I both know what you did was gross and disturbing. If you want to go puke just go. None of these people will think you're being ru-"

Adrien dropped the black cat and fled the room. The group of adults glanced at each other and shared a concerned look. "Is he alright Plagg?" Master Fu asked. "What happened?"

"Master Fu, there was a lot that happened tonight." Plagg said dryly. "I don't know how the kid will handle it, but i think it would help if you backed off for a bit."

"Plagg, don't be rude," Tikki scolded. "He is the guardian"

Plagg turned his attention to Tikki. "I'm not being rude, I'm being honest. That kid is more freaked out than you realize; I know my chosen. You think he enjoyed digging through bones to get thing?"

Tikki floated out of Marinette's hands flustered. "I'm not saying that! I'm just suggesting you could have asked for him to be left alone in a nicer way."

"How am I supposed to be nice when I am so hungry? The gem really exhausted me!"

"I think you are both tired and hungry," Marinette chimed in. She looked to her mother. "Mama, could you help get these two a snack. That had a rough night."

Sabine smiled and nodded at her daughter's request. "Absolutely." She motioned to the kwamis to follow her into the kitchen.

As soon as he saw his wife had left, Tom pushed an empty chair towards his daughter and opened his mouth to speak. "Marinette, what happened?"

The pigtailed girl exhaled before taking a seat in the open chair. Master Fu returned to his original seat to sit and listen to what the girl had to say. The two men leaned in with eyes on the girl. She realized they were both quite anxious.

Marinette cleared her throat, and placed her hands in her lap. "To be honest, so much happened; I'm not sure if I will be able to remember everything now. Volpina managed to distract Style Queen so we could enter the catacombs from an unmarked street entrance. From there we traveled down a dark tunnel. Chat Noir had to lead. It was dark. We were down there for hours. There were bones sticking out of the wall and scattered all around the floor. We walked through water.

"We finally thought we found the gem when Hawkmoth akumatized a guy who knew the catacombs really well. Volpina and I fought off the akuma while Chat jumped down a hole to get the gem. Then Style Queen came. She took out Volpina and the citizen. She broke my arm and tried to use me as bait to get Chat to give her the gem. Eventually he got the gem; his suit changed, and he roared. It brought down the cave we were in. I had used my lucky charm to help fight against the akuma, so I tossed it up and used the miraculous cure to restore everything. The magic brought us up to the surface. Our miraculouses beeped, Volpina said she'd take care of civilian, so we left and came here."

"Was the gem change what upset Adrien?" Tom asked.

"I think the whole experience was just a lot, papa," She answered.

"Are you perhaps leaving any details out?" Master Fu asked.

"I could be. I'm still trying to wrap my head around tonight. I think this would be easier to talk about tomorrow. I'm quite exhausted, and I'm sure Adrien is too. We were down there for hours." Marinette hung her head.

"We can talk about this more tomorrow. You don't need to tell us, all right now," Tom assured her.

"Thank you. How are you? Are you okay from earlier?"

"Your father is fine," Master Fu reassured her. "He is a strong man, and fought off teh akuma with excellent strength.

Tom nodded. "I wouldn't have been able to if Adrien was yelling at me. That kid sure is special. We are lucky to have him."

"We sure are," Marinette smiled. She stood up from her chair. "I'm going to check on him and probably go to bed. Papa, would it be alright if Adrien and I didn't go to school tomorrow?"

Tom gave a soft smile. "You two earned a day off. I will call the two of you out of school in the morning."

"That won't be necessary," Master Fu said with a wink. "I may have taken a few precautions to make sure all of you would have the day off."

"What did you do?" Marinette asked.

The elderly man raised his hand. "Don't worry about it. Go take care of your partner."

"Are you two hungry?" Tom asked. "I know you ate dinner but I have a few croissants left over if you two want them."

The pigtailed girl smiled sweetly. "Thanks papa. I will ask Adrien. If you would put them out, that would be great. We will come get them when we are ready. If you don't mind, I think we'd like some time alone to decompress." She turned and head up the stairs find her partner.

Adrien had managed to run up to Marinette's bathroom before needing to empty his stomach. Plagg's words had reassured the blonde that it was alright to feel as upset as he was. Adrien thought back to finding them; removing all the bones and disturbing so many resting spirits. The memory of the smell alone of all the decaying bones was enough to make the blonde heave again. This week had been exhausting, and his body was finally reacting to show it.

For ten minutes he stayed in the bathroom. Adrien sat with his back against the sink staring at the door. He no longer felt sick, but was looping back through his head on the roller coaster of emotions he had had in such a short span of time: fear, excitement, disgust, anger, hatred, love, and relief. All were felt within the course of twenty minute window. Then to top it off he ended up with using all that emotion to unlock something, he had never felt before. He had yelled, and his yell erupted into a sound that managed to save his lady.

Adrien had always been a quiet, respectable, introverted person. He had heard his father yell at employees and others before, but he never thought he would ever be engulfed with enough emotion to yell like he had. What was even stranger, was that this was not a yell of hate or anger. He had yelled because he cared. He yelled because he loved Ladybug, and yelling for love was the most confusing feeling he had ever felt before.

He flinched as he heard a knock on the door. "Can I come in?" He heard Marinette ask.

"It should be unlocked," he responded.

The doorknob twisted and the wooden door slowly slid open. A blue pigtail lead Marinette's face through the opening. "Hi," she thought pushing herself through the door. "I asked everyone to leave us alone."

"Were they alright with that?" Adrien looked up surprised.

"They were very fine with it. I… I'm tired. How about you?"

"I'm so overwhelmed."

Marinette walked over and sat next to the blonde. She plopped her head on his shoulder. "We are not going to school tomorrow."

"Really?"

"Yeah, Master Fu said he had something in store to make it so we didn't have to go. But I also asked my dad to call us both out anyway."

"That's really nice of them."

"I think we earned it after tonight."

"Yeah, you can say that again."

"I kind of just wanted to do something mindless, how does that sound?"

"Sounds great. What do you have in mind?"

"I was thinking I loan you some sweats again, and then we could watch a movie or something?"

"That sounds great," He smiled.

"Perfect, stay here." Marinette stood up and walked out of the bathroom.

Adrien sat and stared at the door. He heard some drawers open, the quiet. After five minutes, Marinette came back. She was in a pink tank top and pink shorts with candy designs on them. In her hands she held a pair of sweatpants and a large green t-shirt.

"Put these on," she spoke. "I'm going to set up my laptop. She handed the clothes to the blonde before leaving the bathroom again.

Adrien changed and walked out of the bathroom. "Come up to the bed," Marinette told him. He looked up to see a glowing computer screen sitting in the pigtailed girl's lap.

He climbed up the ladder and onto the bed. She lifted up the blankets for him to join her under, and he quickly joined her. Adrien wrapped his arm around her and she curled herself up against his chest. "What are we going to watch?" He asked.

"Whatever Netflix recommends," she answered.

Adrien smiled and pressed her closer to him. "Sounds perfect."
