Did I really leave everyone on that cliffhanger? Oops...

Chapter 35: Rogercop, Part 3
The ground came rushing up towards Chat Noir.
Chat Noir twisted around so he falling stomach-first, hoping to slow his fall. A few seconds later and it paid off when his baton was thrown up to him.
He extended his baton and dug it into the ground, stopping his fall. His wrist cried out in pain from holding onto the weapon, but Chat Noir just gritted his teeth. He shrunk the baton and landed softly on the ground.
"Are you okay?" Ladybug asked.
"Fine. Where'd Rogercop go?" Chat Noir asked, looking around.
"He went out to his car," Ladybug replied. "If we hurry, we can catch him before he gets too high up."
"Then lets go."
Ladybug and Chat Noir leapt over the roof and vaulted onto Rogercop's car just as it was leaving the ground.
Chat Noir split his baton and stuffed one end into the exhaust port. The port sputtered, but the car didn't stop and the baton half flew out.
"I keep forgetting that what worked last time doesn't always work now," Chat Noir muttered.
Rogercop exited his car and, defying all the known laws of physics, stepped up onto the roof without falling down. Chat Noir extended the remaining half of his baton, and Ladybug spun her yo-yo.
"You are-"
"Obstructing justice," both Chat Noir and Ladybug finished at the same time.
"We've heard you," Ladybug said.
"But I think your meow is worse than your bite," Chat Noir added.
"The law does not meow," Rogercop replied. He raised his arms and fired a pair of handcuffs.
Ladybug grabbed Chat Noir and launched him off the car. She wrapped her yo-yo around the car and the two superheroes swung up onto the roof.
Ladybug landed on the car as Chat Noir used his momentum to kick Rogercop in the face.
As Chat Noir and Rogercop exchanged blows, Ladybug slid off the roof of the car again. She hung off the edge of the car about a foot down, and used her body to create enough momentum to swing to the driver seat's door. She opened to door and slipped into the driver's seat.
"Now let's see if I can make this work," Ladybug muttered. She tapped the steering wheel tentatively. "Here's for making an educated guess."
Ladybug tilted the steering wheel a little to the left, and the left side of the car dipped. She straightened up the steering wheel, reversing the effect.
"Alright, so that does that," Ladybug mumbled. "But I need to go up and down, not left and right."
She glanced at the pedals underneath her, but they looked like a regular car. She pressed one, and the car sped up. When she pressed the other one, the car began to slow.
Ladybug groaned in frustration and hit the steering wheel. As she did so, the wheel moved away and the car turned downwards.
Ladybug grinned. "So that's how this works."
Chat Noir didn't have much space to work with, but he wasn't going to let that stop him.
Rogercop deflected his blow with enough force to send Chat Noir stumbling back to the very edge of the car, but Chat Noir rolled back into a standing position and readied himself for another attack.
The car dipped violently towards the ground, causing Chat Noir to slide forward while tipping backwards. Rogercop, of course, remained unaffected.
Rogercop turned his attention away from Chat Noir and kneeled down. He put one foot over the edge, and then awkwardly moved his entire body so that he was back in the car.
Chat Noir regained his balance and used his baton to open one of the back doors of the car. He slipped into the backseat just to see Ladybug's yo-yo hit Rogercop across his mask.
Ladybug and Rogercop were fighting for the driver's seat, and Rogercop was winning. Ladybug was barely holding onto the very edge of the driver's seat, but she had one whole shoulder and arm across Rogercop's torso, effectively blocking the steering wheel.
Chat Noir lurched forward and used one hand to extended his baton up and into Rogercop's nose and eye, and grabbed at the whistle with the other hand.
Rogercop reached out and yanked the steering wheel back, and Chat Noir felt gravity pull him back. He released his grip of the whistle but kept his arms around Rogercop's neck.
Ladybug kicked upwards, hitting Rogercop on the cheek where his mask ended. Rogercop's arm jerked towards Ladybug, causing Ladybug to slide off her seat and slam into the opposite door as the side of the car dipped.
Chat Noir twisted his body and slammed his heel into the steering wheel, and the car pitched downwards. It headed straight for the street below.
"Think it's time we abandoned ship, Chat Noir," Ladybug noted.
"Agreed," Chat Noir replied.
Snatching the whistle, Chat Noir threw his shoulder against the door and pushed it open against the wind. He leaped out into the wind just as the top of the car came into contact with the pavement.
Chat Noir and Ladybug both rolled into standing positions.
"Well, that takes care of that," Chat Noir noted, holding up the whistle.
Ladybug grinned. "Well done. Would you like to do the honors?"
Chat Noir dropped the whistle and stomped on it, and the winds immediately picked up around them.
"So, Chat, who do you think we should fight next?"
I know I said this last time, but I won't wait so long to update this time.
