Hello this is my first fanfic, so it probably won't be that good. I would love to get any constructive criticism you have! Hope you enjoy!
Background: This is post Rocketear. After that, Chat Noir confronted Ladybug and coupled with the realization in Hack-san that someone else knows her identity, he quits on unamicable terms. He reveals his identity to Nino, who supports him but doesn't want to leave Alya. Adrien also contact Chloe and secures her support. He then orchestrates to have Vesperia lose her miraculous in the middle of an akuma battle, for Nino to "lose" the turtle miraculous. Then with new costumes and names, Bouclier and Frelon enter the scene. Now the class is at a gala and that is where we enter the scene.
At the Gala…
Adrien looked around. His father had allowed him to come to the event, a rare action the overprotective father. Nonetheless, he counted his lucky stars as he had a mission with the rest of his team. There was to be a meeting of shady individuals nearby who might have information on ShadowMoth.
Suddenly a hand landed on his shoulder. Turning around he saw Alya in a silver cocktail dress. To her left was Nino in a tuxedo with his signature baseball hat (he really needed to tell him when to bring that hat. This is not one of those times.) And to Alya's right was Marinette in a pink long dress. He had to admit she looked beautiful in the color.
"Hey Pretty boy. Nice suit!" Alya said to him. Adrien looked down at his attire. Wearing White dress pants, shoes, suit with a two-tongued tailcoat with two gold buttons and button up shirt combined with an emerald colored tie and handkerchief.
"Yeah, my father wanted me to promote his new formal line. IT's a small price to pay for being able to attend the gala. You don't look half bad yourself." He responded
"Are you flirting with me? Say it quietly or else my boyfriend will hear you." She said jokingly
Nino played along with it. "Oh woe is me. My best friend is robbing my girlfriend! What a betrayal." Then the three of them started to burst out laughing.
"S-so, where are you s-sitting A-adrien?" Marinette asked him.
"Oh, aren't we all sitting on one of the front tables?" He asked Nino.
He took out his ticket "Yeah, I'm pretty sure we are dude. Let's go then."
Adrien bowed to the girls "Alya, I'm gonna borrow your boyfriend for a second."
"Alright, just return him in one piece. He's a doofus, but I still love him." She replied, leading Marinette to the Front Row.
He turned to Nino "Nino, how are we gonna go over there? Alya and Marinette will notice when you leave."
Nino placed his right hand on Adrien's shoulder "Dude, I have it all planned. You go up on the stage a bit after I excuse myself and sing a song. The girls will be plenty distracted," he said winking, "Then me and Chloe go over and find out the info. Okay?"
Adrien just glared at him. "I have to sing a song?"
Nino shrugged as he started to walk to their seats with Adrien following him. "It's not everyday a teenage model starts singing. It's the best distraction barring an akuma."
"Hey girls. Make room for two poor boys." Adrien told Alya and Marinette at their table
Juleka, Rose, Alix and Kim sat to their left and Ivan, Mylene, Lila, Max to their right and Chloe, Sabrina and Nathaniel behind them. Adrien leaned back in his seat. He should try to enjoy himself
90 minutes later
Adrien was listening to one of the songs being played on stage when Nino elbowed him. Turning to him, he saw him motioning to the back. He saw the group of men in suits talking to each other. He nodded as the song ended. Nino excused himself and 1 minute after he left, Chloe also moved to the back from her table.
After around two minutes of the stage being open to anyone wanting to sing. He turned to Alya. "Might as well do it now." he said.
She raised her eyebrow. "Do what? I don't remember talking about doing something in the gala."
Internally, Adrien cursed for not having an excuse. "Uh, well yesterday I lost a bet with Nino. so now I have to sing on stage." He grinned nervously
Alya's eyes narrowed. "Then why are you going to do it now when Nino's gone to the bathroom?"
"Uh well, I don't want him to see it when I embarrass myself in front of our school and the other schools. Well, I'ma go now." He walked on to the conductor of the small instrument group and whispered to him "I'm sing 'Feeling good' by Michael Buble."
He then got on stage as the instrumentalists began to prepare with the notes on their tablets. The conductor then gave a thumbs up to Adrien who walked up to the microphone. The violines began to play. And he began to sing with his eyes closed.
Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
Then the brass began to blast out their part in the song. At the same time, he opened his eyes.
Iiiii'm feeling good
He outstretched his left hand to the ground
At around the same time, Nino leans on the wall near the business men, observing them. He sees movement out of the corner of his eyes to reveal Chloe in a yellow dress trailing them. The men begin to move to the secluded room, so Nino and Chloe went to different areas and transformed
"Wayzz, shell on!"
"Pollen, buzz on!"
They met up nodding to each other and walked to the closed doors of the room.
Adrien meanwhile…
Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom on a tree
You know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
He looks out at the audience and smirked
Dragonfly out in the sun, you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun, you know what I mean
He held out his hand as a butterfly landed on his palm then pushed his hand upward, causing the butterfly to fly away.
Sensing someones eyes on him from the hundreds in the room, he turned to see Marinette to wink at her, causing her whole face to turn pink and Alya grinning knowingly. She turned to Marinette and whispered something to her as the girls in the table nearby began to whisper and Lila looked angry as hell.
Sleep in peace when day is done, that's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
For me
Nino put up three fingers, then two then one and made a fist. He kicked in the door to reveal 10 men insuits and one a the head of the table. They all got up, taking out knives, sticks, tasers and their fists. Seeing this, Frelon did a small grin. She swung her spinning top to the closest man who had a taser, catching the hand. She pressed it to the man besides him body, knocking him out. She then pulled hard on the string, pulling him towards her and elbowing him hard on the face knocking the man out. Bouclier jumps the closest two men and hits them both with his shield on the head.
"It's Frelon and Bouclier!" One of the men shouted.
"Then where's Chat Noir!" Shouted another who rushed them with a pool stick. Bouclier simply caught the stick, broke it and jabbed the broken part at his where his shoulder meets his neck, meeting a nerve center, freezing him for a second whil he flipped him on the table.
"Keep a look out for him! He might be hiding!" Said a man who rushed Frelon with a knife. He went to overhead stabe, but she blocked his forearm with her own, she pucnhed him in the gut. She then grabbed his arm and used her forearm to bend his arm the wrong way. She then smashed his head against the wall. The remaining four men hesitated and that was their failure. Bouclier threw his shield at one of the men, then ran forward, jumped on the table and superman punched the man beside him.
"Venom!" Shouted Frelon at the nearest man. He was paralyzed and as the other man ran towards Frelon with his stick, she turned the paralyzed man around, in the way of the stick. When the man with the stick hit the paralyzed man, Frelon grabbed his wrist, taking him off balance and uppercut him.
Marinette was having the time of her life. Not only did Adrien's dad allow him to come in a suit that made him look so handsome, he went to the stage and started to sing. Then he winked at her. She though she would die.
But her festivity was cut short as she started hearing sounds from the back. As the song continued, she became more sure that there was fighting going on in the back. And considering the setting it could very well be Chat Noir and the renegades, she thinks as she looks to the back.. She turns to Alya "I have to go." She then starts to get up and pushes her chair back to head towards the back.
Adrien, who is onstage, sees Marinette look back to the room where he last saw Bouclier and Frelon enter then whisper to Alya and finally stand up. Looking at the direction where her body is pointing, he quickly deduces that she heard the noises and is going over there. Realizing that this will put their whole plan in jeopardy, he does the first thing he thinks of to stop her. He walks quickly to Marinette who is just starting to walk off and grabs her elbow. Spinning her around and towards the stage again, he continues to sing. He holds both of he hands
Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
He then moves her hand to the side of his right cheek, while singing to her now red faced, blushing, blank face.
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Now, Adrien starts waltzing with her on stage while still singing.
Oh, freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
He then twirls her around, her dress looking like a rose twirling on the floor.
It's a new life
It's a new life
For me
Smiling softly, he dipped Marinette, much to the cheers of the audience. Bringing her back up, he held her close as she put her head on his chest, reveling in the feeling of dancing with Adrien Agreste.
And I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good
Meanwhile, Bouclier pushed the gang boss up to the wall, gripping his button up shirt cuffs.
"Answer the question, Monsieur Moulin. Is Shadowmoth entering the crime world or not?"
The man sneered at him "You think I'd tell a child this information."
Bouclier grinned. "Maybe not to me. But you will to her." he said, gesturing to Frelon
"She is just a gi-" Moulin began to say before he got crossed and crumpled to the ground, nose bloodied. Frelon stood over him with blood on her right hand
"Finish that sentence will you?" She said grinning. She picked him up and then threw him to wall again, "Now, you will answer my associate's answer. Is Shadowmoth entering the crime world or NOT!" She shouted in he ear while twisting his pinkie finger.
"Ah- ah, okay yes yes ye-" He screamed and then was knocked out by his head being banged on the wall
"Well that gets your blood running." Bouclier said while scribbling on a post-it note, then putting it on the table facing the door. "Let's bolt."
They left the room and went into their respective areas
"Shell off."
"Buzz off."
They met up and high fived each other. "That was a job well done. Although I could've gotten some more info off him." Chloe said with a pout
"Well, your timer was running out and I didn't want you to ruin his suit any longer dudette." Nino replied jokingly
"Are you kidding me?" she asked as they went to return to their tables before they separated. "It was ridiculous, utterly ridiculous." She went off to her table while Nino waited a while in the middle, taking up an unoccupied seat as he watched surprised at Adrien and Marinette dancing on the stage
Adrien had his chin on Marinette's head as they slowly danced on the stage. When he opened up one eye, he spotted Nino sitting down at another table. Nino looked him in the eyes and with a small smile nodded. Adrien then finished up the song.
I feel so good
I feel so good
He stepped back and then kissed her hand. "You look beautiful in that dress Mari." he said to her, causing her to blush profusely
3 hours later at a random rooftop in Paris
Chat Noir and Bouclier waited for Frelon to appear. As she landed on the roof, Chat Noir took out his big guns.
"So he admitted that Shadowmoth is finally entering the scene?" He asked Frelon
"Yea. I don't know what part, but we now have the info." she said glaring at Bouclier
"Well, now we have the incentive to extend our field into the crime scene." He said. "Have you contacted Ladybug about this?"
Chat's gaze hardened "She can take care of the Akuma's. We'll handle this."
"Chat, I know you are still hurting from what she did to you, but these are lives we are talking about. We decided to act separately, not be uncooperative."
"She wanted the perfect partners. I just want to see how her group does." he responded.
"But if any of their team get's seriously hurt, we will intervene?" He asked
"Yes. Now, let us return home." He said as he extended his baton
"Are we not going to talk about what happened with Marinette today?" Bouclier shouted to him.
The blush that spread on his face answered any questions
The next day, Police found the room of tied up criminals in the board room. There was a note that read
A gift from Furry boi, Shelly kid and bumblebee wannabe
