Ladybug
The five heroes stood on the street in front of the Agrèste mansion.
"What are we going to do?" Rena Rouge asked, the first words she had said since she found out about Adrien.
"I don't know, I should hold off using my Lucky Charm, in case we need it inside, but I guess I rushed this a little."
"We can do this, we need to get him back." Queen Bee said.
"You can say that again, if i can't protect my best bro, I may as well not symbolize protection."
All five knew one thing, Hawk Moth must be stopped.
"Let's go inside, I'll activate second chance and tell you what to do."
They walked cautiously into the building, and Viperion whispered, "second chance," and pulled back on his bracelet.
"Stop, it's a trap, didn't you all learn anything the first twelve times?"
Ladybug turned around, "what?"
"It's a trap, we have to find Hawk Moths window."
"What are you talking about Viperion?"
"Just, follow me."
They followed him out of the house and behind it. They saw a giant window that was closed.
"That's weird, I've never seen that before."
"Adrien is behind those shutters."
"Well then, let's get in there!"
"It's not that simple. I've done this before, remember? That isn't glass and what's behind it isn't shutters, we need to find another way in."
"Where is that?"
"I believe it's somewhere in his office, but I'm not sure where."
They break into the window of his office.
They began looking around for anything that might trigger a way into the room they saw.
Ladybug was looking over near the window, she spotted something in the reflection of the glass. The giant picture of Emilie Agreste. If Hawk Moth was really that desperate to get her back, then maybe…
She walked over to the painting and looked at it closely. She saw indents in six of the triangles on her dress.
She reached up and pressed them, and immediately part of the floor went down. Ladybug yelped as she realized she was standing on that piece of floor. She heard someone come in just as the floor closed overtop of her.
"No," She was far away from her friends, and it had almost been five minutes. If someone had indeed come in, then they might be fighting for their lives right now and Viperion would almost be transformed back.
This was not good. The elevator started traveling sideways, then up. Finally she came up through a hole in the floor in a completely different place. A super dark room with butterflies everywhere.
"Nathalie, I told you to leave me alone."
"Adrien?" Ladybug turned around and found Adrien in a bundle of blankets next to a wall.
"Ladybug?" He stood up, "I'm so happy to see you!"
He ran over and hugged her, and for a moment she just wanted to get stuck in his arms, inhaling his scent. Focus Ladybug, you can do those things later.
She let go.
"Do you know how to work this thing?"
"If I did, do you think I would still be in here?"
That was a fair point, "Together we can find it."
They looked around, but could find nothing.
Then they heard a muffled scream from the pile of blankets.
"What was that?" They walked over to the blankets and Adrien picked the blanket up. It wiggled and the muffled sound was louder. Something was in the lining.
Adrien got an excited look on his face, and ripped the blanket open. A ring clattered on the floor along with a black Kwami.
"Plagg?"
"The one and only! Nathalie put me in the blanket she gave you, she thinks Hawk Moth has gotten too unstable."
Adrien bent down and picked his ring off the ground. He slipped it onto his finger. "Plagg, Claws Out!"
In a flash of green light, Chat Noir was there.
"It's nice to feel like me again, M'lady."
"Slow down, kitty, we still need to get out of here."
They looked around again but still couldn't find a switch of any sort. "What if we try standing on the elevator platform?"
"Ladybug, I tried that. It didn't do anything."
"But what if it is pressure sensitive? I got here from pushing the triangles on the painting, but what if we just need to be heavy enough to trigger it? You by yourself was not as much as a full-grown adult, but both of us together-"
"-might be able to trigger it! Brilliant Idea, M' lady!"
They stood on the circle on the floor. It started moving.
"Yes!" Chat pumped his fist in the air. "Thank you!" He leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek.
Then he blanched, "Sorry, I couldn't help myself."
Ladybug smiled, "You don't have to apologize for anything," She grabbed his face and kissed him, a real one.
They were still in that embrace when the elevator started going up again.
They let go, as the ceiling opened, and they were ready for anything… except for what they saw.
The elevator came up and suddenly they were standing in the office. Nobody was there, but there was a sign of a fight.
This wasn't good, they looked around for a minute, then heard, "psst!" From the other end of the room.
They saw Sass, waving them over urgently. Ladybug and Chat Noir ran over.
"Sass, what happened?" Ladybug whispered.
"The funniest thing, you found the entrance and Nathalie came in the room. She saw the heroes and Viperion panicked when his Miraculous ran out of time. He hit his head on a pole and knocked himself out."
"So what happened to the others? And where's Luka?"
"Nathalie isn't on Hawk Moth's side anymore, or so she claims. Luka is behind this curtain."
He moves the curtain aside to reveal an unconscious Luka.
"He is fine for the moment, but I am looking out for him, just in case."
"So what happened after Nathalie came in?"
"Oh, Hawk Moth came in the room and there was a battle, I think they're still fighting outside."
"You should have led with that!" Chat cried. The heroes rushed out to the lobby.
