Hi! This is a story that I'm writing with anonymousfriend27. It's gonna be multi chapter, so stay tuned :)
Chat Noir
Chat Noir struggled, but he couldn't free himself from the web. He twisted to glance at his miraculous, every beep like a gunshot, reminding him that he was going to detransform, with all of Paris watching! At least his big reveal wouldn't be recorded; Alya, who normally recorded every attack, was stuck as well. Far below him, Anansi grappled with Ladybug and the new turtle hero, but Alya's akumatised sister was gaining an edge. Soon, they would be overpowered. They needed Cat Noir and his pawsomeness. Unfortunately, the superhero in question was a little preoccupawed. Still on top of the cat puns, while in danger of revealing my identity. Ladybug will be overjoyed! That was just his nature. But now the risk was real. He started breathing heavily, and Alya called from somewhere to his right, "You good, Chat Noir?"
No, I am so not good.
"Yeah, of claws I'm okay," he laughed. "Ladybug's got it covered." But inside he was panicking. His Cataclysm still bubbled in hand, and he was careful not to touch the web in case he destroyed it, causing him and Alya to fall and be smashed on the ground. He heard his miraculous beep, and he knew that he was on his last minute before he detransformed. Below him, Ladybug and the turtle hero were being pushed back, away from him and Alya. Chat Noir held his breath as she had to duck behind the turtle, their only defence being his shield. Anansi loomed over them.
Chat Noir felt completely helpless. All he wanted was to protect Ladybug, and to protect Paris. If he couldn't get free, and he couldn't save Alya, then there was only one option left- to be a distraction. He didn't want to endanger Alya, but Chat Noir could think of only one other way to get Anansi's attention, other than destroying the web.
He'd have to detransform early, take Anansi by surprise.
He took a deep breath, knowing that he shouldn't do it, that he couldn't. I must, he thought. "Ladybug," he called, she looked up at him, and Chat Noir smiled, "I'm sorry." She looked confused, the beginning of a question forming on her lips. Anansi aimed another blow at her head, and she was forced to look away. It didn't matter, Chat Noir knew she would know what he was doing as soon as he did it.
He closed his eyes for a moment. He knew that if he did this, everyone would know his identity- Ladybug, Hawkmoth, his father, his friends. They would all know. It's going to happen anyway, he told himself, don't be a coward. Purposely raising his voice, he shouted his detransformation phrase, "Plagg, claws in!"
Plagg tumbled out from his miraculous, noticed where they were, noticed his situation, and swore. "Oh Adrien," he sighed. "What have you got yourself into?"
Everything was silent suddenly, as his identity was revealed to the whole of Paris. Adrien met Ladybug's eyes, seeing not only confusion, but something deeper he didn't understand. He motioned to Anansi with his eyes, knowing if she was going to make her move, it would have to be quick. She seemed to recover from her shock, and sprung on Anansi, tearing her headgear from her head, and throwing it to the floor, where it shattered, releasing the akuma.
"Adrien? You're Chat Noir! Wow!" He heard from above him, and he looked away from Ladybug de-evilising the akuma. Alya was staring at him, eyes wide with amazement. Before he could answer, Plagg zoomed right in front of his face. "What did you just do?" The kwami asked incredulously, "Of all the options, you thought that was the best one?" Adrien frowned at Plagg, unsure how to reply. Eventually, he found the right words, "You know how I feel, Plagg. I had to protect her, I love her."
Plagg sighed, resting against Adrien's neck. "I'm sorry, Adrien. You're right, you made the right choice." Adrien grinned despite his situation, "Did you just admit you were wrong-" he began.
"What is that talking to you?" Alya screamed. Adrien couldn't help but laugh. He always forgot that people didn't know about kwamis, remembering the few times that he had almost slipped up when talking about akuma attacks with his friends. Plagg flew up so he was level with her face, startling her. "I'm Plagg and I'm a kwami, a divine creature who's power is contained in a jewel, known as a miraculous."
Alya was silent. "That's… ridiculous," she said finally, laughing. Plagg floated back to Adrien, muttering something about his damaged ego. Adrien surveyed the scene below him. Ladybug had used her Lucky Charm earlier in the battle, although Adrien couldn't tell what it was. She threw it into the air, shouting, "Miraculous Ladybug!"
Oh no, he thought briefly, before the web had even started to disappear. The magic of the Ladybug miraculous surrounded him, temporary blinding him. Adrien knew he was going to fall, and there was nothing he could do. He closed his eyes against the look of horror on Ladybug's face as began to fall, not wanting it to be the last thing he saw. He wanted to remember her kindness, and her selflessness, as he died, not her guilt.
The web disappeared from behind him, and he felt cold air rush up past him as gravity took hold and he fell. This is it, he thought. He felt tears pinch his eyes. He didn't want to die; he wanted to live on, to keep fighting with Ladybug. Plagg hadn't moved from his shoulder, although Adrien knew that he'd definitely had time to fly away. Adrien felt a surge of gratitude for his kwami, feeling his reassuring presence until the end. If he was going to die, he was glad he had his best friend with him. Plagg solemnly flew forward so he was level with Adrien's face and they locked eyes, Adrien found calm in Plagg's blazing green steady gaze. Together until the end.
Of course, all of these thoughts had taken place in mere seconds. Adrien knew he must have almost hit the ground by then, and he was ready- as ready as he could be- but then he saw Plagg's eyes widen, a purple flash, and then something slammed into him, sending pain shooting through his ribs. His vision went black.
