Sorry I haven't updated in a while, this chapter took me a lot longer than I thought it would. I think I can see this story ending in about two chapters, but I've also got another idea for another fanfiction waiting. In MLB news, you can find the first few episodes of season 3 on youtube if you're interested. Happy reading!

Never mind Rememberwrath. Everything else could wait.

With a gasp, Chat Noir rushed over to his lady's side. Ladybug had slowly sat up and was holding her head, looking frantically around.

"Ladybug! Thank goodness you're ok!" he sighed, grinning at her.

But the look Ladybug returned puzzled Chat Noir greatly. There was no happiness, no understanding ...no recognition. Nothing. Instead, he watched as her cobalt blue eyes search his face, trying to piece everything together.

"Ladybug?" he repeated carefully, touching his partners hand. She did know he was speaking to her, didn't she?

"Who- who is Ladybug?" she asked, voice shaking. Chat saw fear and confusion in her eyes, wanting desperately to understand. But he knew he needed to see what was going on first.

"You are, M'lady. Don't you remember?"

Ladybug faltered. What was this boy talking about? Who was this Ladybug? What was she doing here? Why was he dressed in a... cat suit?

One thing at a time Marinette, she thought.

"No, I – I'm sorry. I don't know where I am or how I got here or-" Ladybug stopped. A tear trickled down her face. Chat waited, hand still on hers, but when she spoke again, her voice was barely a whisper.

"I don't remember you. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry you must think I'm so awful but I'm just Ma-" she sobbed, but before she could finish Chat put his hand over her mouth, sensing what she was about to say.

"No, no. It's ok, I get it. Clearly this spell has made you forget being Ladybug, but you still remember being you. That's better than nothing. But listen to me," he said, moving her chin so she would look him in the eye. Blue eyes met startling green and Ladybug took in a sharp breath.

"No matter what, you can't tell me your name ok? Not until you're thinking straight again. I know Ladybug wouldn't want me to know who you are, so I'll honour that. I'm Chat Noir," he said, giving his partner a reassuring smile and holding out his hand.

Ladybug looked unsure at first. Still with no memory of what the boy was talking about, she was hesitant. But there was something about him she knew, like a memory from a dream. It was those eyes. Those emerald green eyes, enticing her, telling her that she could trust him. They were so familiar and yet distant, like she was looking at things from underwater; so clear and yet, distorted. She shook his hand gently, returning his smile.

A scream shot through the air, jolting both Chat Noir and Ladybug from their moment.

Right, the akuma, thought Chat Noir. He sprung to his feet and ran to his hiding place behind some bushes, gesturing for Ladybug to follow him. Despite not knowing what was going on, she did as she was told.

"What's going on?" she asked curiously, trying to look up from the bush. Chat Noir grabbed her arm and pulled her back down.

"Careful! He'll see you," he warned.

"Who will?"

Chat Noir knew he didn't have much time at all until Rememberwrath arrived, so he would have to quickly explain.

"You don't remember, but you and I were chosen to become superheroes and protect Paris from someone who wants to control destruction and creation- Hawkmoth. Anyone in Paris who feels negative emotions, he will akumatize them and they become a villain who tries to take our miraculous," he explained.

Ladybug was extremely bemused. Superheroes? This was stupid. But Chat Noir seemed to be taking it very seriously, so she thought that she should too.

"My miraculous?"

"Your earrings. No matter what happens now, you need to stop him from taking them at all costs. The same goes for me and my ring."

Ladybug laughed.

"Ok then, easy. Where is this 'supervillain'?" she asked sceptically.

When Chat didn't reply, she turned to look at him and followed his gaze to where Rememberwrath had turned the corner. As he passed, he hit people who were trying to escape. Chat narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Wait here," he said, his voice lowering aggressively.

Before Ladybug could question him further, he leapt out from their hiding place and tackled Rememberwrath. They struggled on the floor, swinging for the other one viciously. From her hiding place, Ladybug watched the battle, eyebrows raised. This was more intense than she first thought. Chat Noir was doing well. The two were standing on their feet, moving up and down the path as they attempted to hit each other. Chat always seemed to be lunging to try and reach the wrestling belt around the victim's waist. Even for a civilian, Ladybug noticed that her partner seemed to be growing more and more tired. She gasped as he turned his head to check on her and was pushed down to the floor. Using his baton to push back his opponent, Chat Noir was losing badly. Again.

Meanwhile, Ladybug was frantic. Right now, the only person who made sense to her was Chat Noir, and he was going to get hurt if she didn't do something soon. She jumped over the bush and stood next to where Rememberwrath was slowly reaching towards Chat Noir's ring.

That must be his Miraculous, she realised.

The more she watched, the more she absorbed about the situation she was witnessing, the more fear consumed her. There was no doubt about it; she was completely paralyzed with fear.

But something else caught her attention. Amidst the chaos, Chat Noir's green eyes were fixed on her. Once he had her attention, she realised he was trying to say something, trying to help her.

"Yoyo," he mouthed, nodding towards a yoyo that was attached to her strange costume, which Ladybug had yet to question. Taking it in her hand, Ladybug steadied herself and thought of Chat, her supposed partner, who needed her.

For Chat Noir, she thought.

Ladybug threw the yoyo at Rememberwrath. It wrapped around his waist and Ladybug pulled, using all her strength. This sent the victim sailing through the air with a scream. He landed in the Seine with an enormous splash. Ladybug ran to Chat Noir and helped him up.

"Are you ok?" she asked worriedly. He smiled at her, hand over his arm.

"Yes, thank you M'lady," he replied, "now, how about some of your luck to settle this once and for all?"
