After Cat Noir had rushed to the hospital with Marinette in his arms, he ducked into an ally not far from the hospital to de-transform. Marinette's head injury was treated and her back well... Her spin was throughout of alinement she needed to have a back support for at least two weeks, then see from there.

In Mari's hospital room she laid motionless, the room was white the drapes for the window where light blue allowing the ray of light to filter in. Her bed in the center of the room against the wall, an IV drip beside the bed. The single chair which had once been placed agented the wall now moved to her bedside, Adrien, despite the staff wishes had snuck in to see Marinette. Now sat asleep leaning on the bed his hand inch away from her's. Marinette's pigtails had been taken out and her hair laying free, within a moment her eyes wearily fluttered open slightly she could just make out the figure of someone sitting in the chair beside her. Her mind still clouded and her limps felt heavy, Mari opened her eyes completely; the faint colors where returning into her view she could see the blonde tips of Adrien's hair after she had turned her head to the left.

"...A...A..drien?" Her words bearly audible, and her voice was shaky.

Adrien lifted his head seeing her awake after hours of waiting, his eyes widened relief that she was okay.

"Marinette," His mind racing on what to say. "You're awake."

Mari had tried to speak but her throat was so dry she couldn't. Adrien pondered for a moment, knowing that he should let a nurse know Marinette was awake.

"I'll be right back, and I'll grab you something to drink." He said with a smile, then left the room. With him gone, she was left alone in thought. Her body had slowly felt lighter.

Why...why would Adrien Agrest be in my hospital room, I know I saved him from being hit by the Akumatized victim... Then, I blacked out...

Marinette reached up and touched her right earring, yet was confused. Wait, why are my earrings important? Did someone special give them to me? Her head began to hurt once again, it was as if her own mind rejected the thought of knowing why her earrings were special to her.

A knock came on the door and Adrien occupied by a nurse, entered the room. Mari tried to sit up her back brace prevented her, Adrien had passed her a glass of water which had a straw. While the nurse checked the monitor Mari was hocked up too. Marinette took a sip of the water, her head, and throat instantly felt better.

"Thank you, Adrien."

"Don't mention it," He looked over at the nurse, and then back at Mari. "why did you push me out of the way, Marinette?"

"I don't know, I guess it was a reflex" She answered unsurely.

"Wait, then why didn't you jump with me?" Adrien asked confused. "If it was a reflex then, how couldn't you have moved out of the way with me?"

"I guess... my head was clouded..." Mari answered timidly. Adrien knew that this truly was his fault if he hadn't kissed her as Chat, then Mari wouldn't have been hurt. He closed his eyes tightly wishing he could go back and change the outcome, but sadly he could not.

"Hey, Adrien, can you tell me what happened after I passed out. I can't remember anything."

Shit, I don't know what happened in the nurses' offices. The whole school had been told to stay in the library when the Akuma was first spotted for there safety, the teen had been Akumatized at the park and had a grudge against schools or someone inside. After Ladybug deviled him, she looked pale I feared she would have collapsed. I hope she's okay. I ran to check on Mari, the second Plugg had eaten his stinky cheese. Mari had looked a worse than Ladybug.

"I brought you to the hospital the second Cat Noir had fought the Akumatied victim, little ways away from the school." He answered, slowly opening his eyes.

"Thank you, I guess you saved my life. And Ladybug along with Cat Noir saved Paris." Those words stabbed Adrien's heart, the guilt raced throughout his body. The blonde hair teen stared at his feet, waiting for her to say something. The room went silent except for the motor's humming, it was the nurse who broke the tension in the room she had sweetly said Marinette seems to be doing fine. She later left the two teens alone once again.

"Adrien, is there something on your mind?" Mari asked tiredly.

"...Uh, yes there is." He Mumbled, not wanting to say it. "I'm sorry. Marinette, you wouldn't have been hurt if I hadn't..." Adrien looked off lost in thought, almost revealing his secret. If he did tell her, she would be in constant danger. He knew he could bear the thought of putting her in any more peril.

"Adrien, what do you mean." She questioned as her voice faltered.

"Mari?" He asked, worry clearly edged into his face. Marinette eyes struggled to remain open, the fatigue had built up once again. Slowly her tiredness attacked her consciousness, and she surrendered to it. Falling into darkness, she felt Adrien's hand over her own hand. In her sleep, she smiled.

Three weeks later, Marinette had been discharged from the hospital. And now only had to have her back brace on at night, though she couldn't participate in gym for another week. So being Ladybug would be extremely harder for her, luckily no Akumas since Jet-Ed.

Mari sat in her room, going over the notes Alya had taken for her. She leaned back, thinking of how her first day back at school would go. After being in the hospital for at that time, Mari hadn't been alone. Her family or friends were always stopping in, or she would have been asleep. Tiki hadn't been able to talk to Marinette for a while, and she began to think Mari have forgotten everything from being Ladybug; and really hoped the whole name calling 'bug, mouse" wouldn't come up again.

The little Kwami flew out from her hiding place, she hovered behind Marinette's head. Pondering the best way to talk to her without freaking her out again like the first time they met.

"M...Marinette," Tiki whispered. Mari turning around, seeing the red spotted Kwmi staring at her.

"Wh...what?" Mari questioned, moving back in her chair. "Oh, no am I hallucinating now?"

"No Marinette. You're really seeing me. My name is Tiki, am a Kwami."

"Wait, you're a what?" She asked in disbelief. "Wait, how do you know about my name?" Mari Screeched.

"One question at a time, first am a Kwami. Second I know your name because I'm your Kwami, and you're Ladybug."

"Okay, now that's far-fetched. Am nothing like Ladybug, she so confined and always saves the day. If I were a superhero my only power would be super-awkwardness."

"Marinette, could you at least say something for me?" Tiki asked sweetly with a wicked grin.

"Um, what do you want me to say. And why are you smiling like that?" Mair asked minorly scared.

"First trust your self Marinette. And say 'Spots on'. Oh if you freak out then say "Spots off' Okay."

"Why would I freak out? Tiki, what are you going to do?"

"Nothing, just please say "Spots on" Marinette, trust me."

Somehow what Tiki was saying felt familiar to her, Marinette took a deep breath. Cleared her mind, looking at Tiki who hadn't moved closer at all. Okay, this is crazy. But somehow I know this little thing, is it a giant bug or a mouse? Wait, Tiki, I do know her. Marinette looked down, at Tiki.

"Sp... Spots on." The red glow engulfed Marinette, as she freaked out. The little Kwami flew into the earrings. The Ladybug costume appeared on Mari, she looked down shaking. "Tiki, I want my normal clothing back now. Tiki, where are you?" She told me if I freak out to say Spots off right?

"Um... Spots off?" The outfit disappeared after the same glow reappeared around her. Tiki shot out of her earrings, landing in Marinette's hands.

"Tiki, are you all right?" She asked worriedly.

"Am fine,"

"Do you need a cookie?" Marinette shook her head, her eyes opened fully. "I remember, I am Ladybug. Tiki, am sorry." Marinette interrupted while digging into her bag for a cookie.

"It's all right, you were injured. I think you had amnesia, or have amnesia."

"I should have been smarter, I shouldn't of have been distracted by... What?"

"Marinette, we'll sort it out. But how are you going to be Ladybug with your back still messed up?"

"I..I don't know, just hope that no Akuma show up?" She answered absent-mindedly.

Tiki sighed knowing this is one argument that couldn't be solved easily, Mari was right just hope for the best. A knock came from the roof balcony hatch, Marinette was confused who would be able to climb up there? But Tiki knew all too well, it was most likely Cat Noir.

"Mari, it's Chat."

"Why is Chat here? Wait does he know am Ladybug?"

"No, he likes to visit you when your Marinette." Before Mari could continue to talk, the hatch opened slightly and Chaton poked his head in, Tiki had already hide again.

"Oh, you are awake. I was being to think, I wouldn't be able to talk to you tonight." Cat Noir said smiling.

Marinette didn't know what to say, her head began to hurt once again. She staggered back, tried to regain her balance. Chaton had jumped inside, rushed to Mari's side. As he came closer her head hurt, even more, she raised her hands to her head. She stumbled more, Chat reached out his hand to try and help her but Marinette fainted. Cat Noir caught her just before she hit the floor.

"Mari, hey. Open your eyes." Oh, god. Maybe visiting her wasn't the right move, Plagg was right. Damn it, she out cold but still breathing, at least she okay.

Chat moved his princess to her bed and put her stupid back brace on her. He fixed her bangs smiling.

"Marinette, am sorry. I should just leave you alone. But with the mask, I can be myself around you. And you don't stammer around Chat, so I thought maybe this was the way to be around you without any pressure." He said aloud messing up his hair.

"Princess, take care of yourself." Chaton forces a fake smile and left her house making sure the hatch was closed behind him before leaping off into the night.

Within the confines of Marinette's dream. Mari was walk to school as she normally did, but the shadows followed her devouring the world behind her. Marinette turned then ran as her friends fell into the darkness being swallowed up in it. She ran faster but a figure steps out in front of her it was Cat Noir, he was using the shadows to steal the world, an Akuma fazed into his bell he instantly turned white, laugh hysterically. The shadows surrounded them, still bending to the will of Cat Blanc. Marinette covers her ears trying to shut this whole nightmare out, Chat cracked a wicked grin.

"If you're so cowardly then just leave!" He spat.

"Chaton NO!" Mari yelled as her friend and partner leaped into the shadows, the floor shattered beneath Marinette. She screamed while plummeting to her doom, hearing the voices of all of the Akumatized victims shouting "You have failed, you're nothing without your Miraculous!"

"No, stop it!" Marinette cried out. The blackness around her suffocated Mari, but before her last breath was gone.

Marinette's eyes shot open, her face slick with sweat. As she trembled, Tiki nuzzled her cheek.

"Oh, Marinette, am glad you're okay."

"Tiki, that dream was terrifying." She mumbled and started crying. Tiki comforted her as best she could. The pair stayed up for an hour longer before falling back into a dreamless sleep.
