(A/N) Don't ask
I had a major meltdown cause I deleted this chapter by accident a few days ago and I forgot to save a copy. It was the worst feeling ever!
On another note, This story is soon going to be complete, only a few more chapters to go with this beauty. Idk how i'm going to end it now but I will think of a way and maybe make a sequal later... but I think ill stick to this story for now.
I was busy with Adrinette April Art so I didn't get a chance to write much lately. Being quartine really doesn't help my inspiration.
Before I proceed with the story I would like to do a shout out to my friend who helped me come up with the name and outfit of this akumitized Villian! Thank you heaps! and thanks to all the people following my story, you are all awesome!
Now Enjoy...
Marinette's eyes were glued onto the picture on the screen in front of her, every little detail was in plain sight.
The fact that it was the same place Chat, well Adrien had dragged her away from danger and had instinctively kissed her cheek; in public as she might add.
It was all there staring her in the face.
This whole time Chat Noir and Ladybug were dancing around each other and neither of them had no idea one loved the other until...
Until she admitted to Chat she liked Adrien.
Great!
"This was taken at the school when that akuma attacked happen, right?" Marinette questioned, not breaking away her focus from the screen.
"Ahhh, yeah." Alya stared at her friends shocked expression with a raised eyebrow. "Lila took the photo and sent it to me."
Lila! Marinette hissed to herself.
"You okay? You look like you've seen a ghost." Alya questioned.
"Oh yeah." Marinette chuckled sarcastically. "I'm more then okay."
The reporter furrowed her brows at her and tilted her head. "Okay now your scaring me."
Grabbing the rest of her coffee, the bluenette drank it in one go, squinting when the taste of it burnt her throat, but she didn't bother to flinch. Instead she made her way to the door with her hands clutched in fist.
"Where are you going?" Alya called out to her friend.
Marinette didn't bother to turn around or wait up to finish the conversation, instead she just yelled out a responds. "To skin a cat!"
"Yes, yes that's it Adrien, keep that pose." Vincent said. "We just need a few more."
Flashes of the camera were going off before Adrien notice a different type of flash out in the distance, followed by a light sprinkle of rain.
"No, no, no!" Vincent groaned. "This can't be happening!" The man rubbed his temples before continuing.
Despite the rain, the photographer tried to continue, making sure he got every shot before it poured down on top of them.
Adrien could see the man getting frustrated by the weather and he didn't want to admit but maybe he was angry at him as well for not corporating with the poses.
Who could blame him though, he was here with Kagami when he should of been checking on Marinette and coming clean about who he was in return.
He had hurt her and made her feel like it was all her fault.
Another roll of lighting, followed by thunder striked closer then before, making the photographer jump and drop his camera.
The thing broke in an instant once it made contact with the ground, making Vincent cry out like he was in pain.
"No, my poor camera." He sobbed, gathering up the pieces. "How am I meant to finish the shoot now."
The rain started bucking down on the man as he tried to gather up the pieces of his camera. The item was now more ruined then before. There was no way he would be able to use it again, nor finish the shoot in time.
Adrien notice the sad look on Vincent's face and quickly went over to aid him before he was one of Hawkmoth's next victims.
"It's alright we can fix this." Adrien said, stepping forward to lend a hand.
Vincent held up his palm to stop the blonde coming any closer, the brink of tears cutting into his eyes but we're being washed away by the down pour of the rain.
Before Adrien had a chance to react, the purple butterfly had made its way towards Vincent and phased throught the broken lense of the camera he was holding.
"Idolizer, I am Hawkmoth. I'm here to grant you the power to turn your photographs into your living idols, you can continue your photo shoot under one condition, bring me Chat Noir and Ladybug's miraculous. Do we have a deal?" Hawkmoth spoke to the man in a soft and convincing tone.
"Yes Hawkmoth." He answered.
Adrien watched as Vincent got up off the wet pavement, purple covering his body.
He came out with a fully black leather suit much like Chat Noir's look, only he had glass shades covering his eyes that looked very high tech, with lights and writing all over the front.
It was like a see through computer screen, like they show on action movies.
"Vincent, I know your upset, but if you just talk instead of allowing your emotions to get the better of you, I might be able to help you." The blonde backed away slowly but idolizer was taking an extra step forward each time.
"I'm not Vincent to you Adrien, I'm Idolizer." The villain hissed. "Now stay still, your in the perfect light to capture such, such beauty."
Hand went up to the side of his glasses as Adrien prepared himself to be shot by the beam.
Only to be lifted into the air by a string tugging him from the waist.
Adrien wasn't sure if he was happy or scared to see his partner at this particular time.
"Thanks." Adrien sheepishly spoke, now cradle in the arms of Ladybug as she ran across rooftops.
Ladybug didn't speak, giving him an annoyed look was the only thing she was willing to do at this time.
She ran a fair distance away from the akumitized villain, just so Adrien could be safe to transform without any issues.
Placing the blonde down in the alleyway, Ladybug took a step back and looked the boy over.
Of course he was Chat Noir, she could of slapped herself with not noticing the similarities sooner.
There he was, drenched in front of her, hair messy and sticking to his forehead, much like in a Chat Noir style. Then his clothes were stuck to his skin, making his body shape form the same physique as his alter-ego.
Wow Marinette was so blind.
Scratch that, they were both so blind.
"Thanks again LB, I don't know what would of happened if he struck me." Adrien puffed, although he wasn't the one who ran across half of Paris to keep him safe, so she didn't understand why he was making those kinds of sounds.
"No need." She spoke with a hint of anger in her tone. "Now... where would I find the akuma?"
"In his glasses." He responded but Ladybug was too busy studing more things on the blonde to properly hear his responds, noticing the now silver ring on his right hand.
The very hand that had touched her in that chilling nightmare only the night before.
Adrien didn't miss the way her body curled into itself, flinching away when he took a step towards her in concern.
He didn't know what he did to get this reaction out of his partner but it couldn't be a good sign.
"Are you okay?" He asked cautionally.
Her posture straight as she composed herself. "Yes i'm fine." Ladybug answered him. "Now transform before we get spotted."
Adrien opened up his jacket, peeling it off his drenched black shirt before freezing and turning towards his partner again, wided eyed.
"You know my identity?" He gasped.
"Your lucky half of Paris doesn't." Ladybug annoyingly argued, getting a shocked look from the blonde. "Oh..." she chuckled sarcastically. "Don't think this akuma is going to make me forget. You still have a lot of explaining to do kitty." Her arms now crossed over her chest. "Your lucky I haven't skinned you alive yet."
Before he could respond, Plagg made his appearance, chuckling loudly. "Your in big trouble now kid." He continued to laugh, heaving to get some air in his little body. "This made getting wet all the more worth it."
Adrien rolled his eyes at his kwami, an irritated look on his face. "You want me to cut your favourite cheese supply?" He threaten the little black creature.
"You can do that if you like." Plagg tested him. "Ladybug will happily feed me if you don't."
The blonde look between his partner and kwami, getting a sly smirk from both of them in return.
"Whatever!" Adrien deadpanned. "Plagg, Claws Out."
The duo landed on a nearby rooftop to where they last saw the villain, scoping out the area before going full force into the battle.
"Where did he go?" Ladybug questioned, rubbing her chin in thought.
"Stay focused Bugaboo, we need to be on high alert." Chat laughed, getting an annoyed look from his partner. "Sorry." He rubbed the back of his neck, sheepishly looking away.
"Chat saying puns is one thing but now since I know who you are, it seriously makes me shiver just thinking about Adrien Agreste making jokes." Ladybug pointed out, shaking each time she thought about sweet innocent Adrien making Cat puns at school.
"Obviously you don't know me as well as you thought M'lady." Chat Noir teased. "I have made many puns while being my cilvian self and they have mostly been around you."
Ladybug turned his way, one masked eyebrow up and a sly smirk on her face. "Really." She lightly laughed. "I highly doubt that."
"Don't you remember the knight mare?"
The red and black spotted heroine curled into herself again, flashes of the her partner turning white in front of her.
All she could hear were those chilling words go through her head over and over again.
"Your breaking more then my heart, Marinette." Chat Blanc's voice rang in her ears.
Chat noticed her breathing had gotten heavy and unsteady, curling herself up into a ball and rocking back and forth on the rooftop.
Her hands were covering her ears and she was mumbling some words to herself but Chat couldn't quite make out what she was saying.
"It's okay, your going to be okay." He approached her only to get a scream in return.
"Stay back." Ladybug cried. "Don't come any closer."
"It was our love that did this to the world M'lady." That voice again, only this time she could see her partner actually speak those words, the black suit flickering to white.
Chat took a step back from her, making sure she got the space she needed. He didn't understand why she was acting this way when she was fine earlier.
Was it something he said?
"Found you!" A voice came from behind his partner.
Before Chat could react, the villian grabbed Ladybug and began to take off an earring, her powers were slowly coming undone in front of him.
"Let her go." Chat Noir hissed with clenched teeth at the man.
Chat got his claws out and ran towards the villain, stopping any progress of taking the other earring from his partner.
The black cladded hero tackled him off the rooftop, making them land on the hard ground down below.
Chat groaned in pain and rolled onto his back with the akumitized person only a few feet away from him doing the same.
The suits protected them from most the damage but Adrien knew that will surely leave a bruise, even after Ladybug uses her magical cure.
Ladybug! He gasped. Remembering she was still slowly detransforming above.
Turning back around on his stomach, Chat frantically looked around for the earring, his first source was Idolizer had the earring but he was empty handed as well.
"Chat!" He heard a scream from above. "Hurry up, I'm almost detransformed. Tikki won't be able to hold on for much longer!"
Looking around in the grass, Chat finally came across the item of interest, beaming when he held it up in the air in victory.
"Don't think you going to get away that easily." The villian finally got up from his spot, still a groan of pain in his tone. "Give me that miraculous and I won't turn you into one of my idols."
"I'll pass." Chat grinned at the villain before chucking the earring up towards his partner. "Ladybug, Catch!"
Chat's feet came from underneath him, slipping back as the earring was hurled into the air.
What came next was complete darkness for the black cladded hero.
