I'm gonna participate and I'll try to get something done for each day!

A green flash enveloped Nino, not a moment too late before the bus crashed into him.

Rena held her breath as a crash sounded, like metal on metal, and the bus slithered to a halt, just a meter before the edge of the dockside that led down to the Seine.

Her boyfriend, now clad in his green suit with yellow, protective chest plates, stepped out in front of the bus, unharmed and his shield raised. With a powerful rip he opened the doors and checked if anyone was still in here. When he didn't seem to find anyone, he showed her a thumb up, before breathing through for a moment.

With a relieved sigh she went back to focus on the fight, her chest tight.

This Akuma had been a tough one already, they'd proved it the entire afternoon. Ladybug had summoned both Carapace as well as Rena Rouge to help them out and it had turned out to be just the right decision. They even promised to let them keep their Miraculous for longer now.

They had all transformed and detransformed a few times by now, always recharging their Kwamis for a minute before surging back into the fight. Nino had taken a hit before that and had unfortunately detransformed in the middle of the battle.

Wayzz did barely have any time to swallow a few sunflower seeds before Rena's warning call had reached Nino, right as the Akuma had sent the bus down the street towards him.

Her breath came out in white clouds as she charged at the Akuma while Ladybug had been flung away once again, her aching lungs bringing out a war cry. She raised her fist as Chat opened up, and she managed to slam the weapon out of the Akuma's hands.

That wasn't, where the Akuma was, unfortunately, but it would give Chat an opportunity to snatch away their belt where they kept their explosives.

Some kid had lost a Snowball fight with the last bit of snow that wasn't melted yet. He had apparently been grabbed by another kid and they had rubbed snow in his face.

Rena could understand why the young boy had gotten upset, especially since his glasses, the akumatized object, had been broken during this process.

What really bothered her was that Hawkmoth didn't even stop and think before akumatizing an innocent child.

With his belt and weapon now gone, the Akuma snarled and turned, building up a giant ice wall with spikes between him and the heroes. Chat immediately launched over it, his animalistic pupils narrowed in a predatory way, but Rena turned and threw a glance over her shoulder to check on her boyfriend.

He just straightened up and showed her another thumb up before falling into a light jog, catching up to her.

"Hey…", he greeted, still slightly out of breath.

"Hi. Bad traffic today?", she shot back, immediately letting her animalistic instincts take over as she briefly nuzzled her nose on his neck. Nino merely just wrapped an arm around her waist, showing her he acknowledged her affections, but his mind was in the battle field as he looked up the wall of ice and then over to the houses.

"Hah hah, very funny. You okay?"

"I'm fine. How are you after that impact?"

He just growled and pressed a kiss to her forehead before tightening his hold on her and jumping onto the next house, to break into a run. She easily held his speed and watched out for the akuma like him.

They spotted the practically floating boy, as he created his ice to skate on, closely followed by Chat and Ladybug. Suddenly, the Akuma looked up to them and the outline of a butterfly appeared around his eyes, making him grin.

Carapace's eyes widened as he saw the Akuma shooting a distracting block of ice at his enemies before easily launching himself up to their roof. Before Rena could do anything, her boyfriend got hit on his shoulder, flying off the roof mid-run.

Her scream couldn't escape her throat. She could barely even look after him since the Akuma now targeted her, chasing her over the rooftops whilst shooting spikes of sharp ice after her.

Panic took over her and she jumped onto the next roof but slipped, losing precious distance between her and the Akuma even when she got to her feet again.

Ladybug accompanied her sprint and threw some orders to Chat who vanished behind the nearest chimney, jumping out of sight. The Akuma still threw ice shards at them and cried out the wildest things, Ladybug was planning something with the new lucky charm she had gotten, but all Rena could think about was Nino.

She had just seen him disappearing, she hadn't even caught if he had managed to land on his feet or if he had slammed into something. Her mind was racing just as her legs carried her and she groaned.

"Look out!", Ladybug suddenly called out and Rena turned just in time to see the Akuma throwing a bigger spike at her than the others. She side stepped – into nothing.

Before she knew it, gravity took hold of her and her foot didn't find ground while Ladybug was getting to safety over the other side, in a controlled jump.

A hand grabbed her wrist and she was about to be relieved that someone had caught her, but as it turned out, the Akuma had gotten a hold of her.

His devilish grin on the face of a young boy sent chills down her spine, especially when he reached out to rip the Miraculous from her neck. The detransformation began at her feet and she immediately felt the biting cold winter air as she lost the protective suit around her ankles.

"Bye bye, foxy.", the boy laughed and finally let go of her, yet she still managed to grab her Miraculous from his fist and take it with her as she fell from the rooftop.

The air around her got faster and the wind loudly echoed in her ears as she pressed the Miraculous to her chest, her eyes filling with tears.

Her body fell faster and faster down and she knew she wouldn't have enough time to transform. Trixx was exhausted and she was already halfway down.

But even before the blood-curling scream could make its way out she was caught by two string arms and pressed against the chest plates of a very familiar suit. Immediately after being caught, she heard a male voice scream something, and a green shield manifested around them.

"Shellter!"

She was caught in a warm sphere, just big enough to fit the two of them comfortably. The shield bounced on the ground and they fell over each other, yet he still managed to catch her gently by taking the brunt of each impact, tightly cradling her in his arms.

The air was knocked out of her as she landed on top of his chest, her body sprawled out over his as they came to a rest on the bottom of the small sphere.

Both allowed themselves to breathe through for a moment, then Alya lifted her head and looked into the beautiful golden eyes of her boyfriend.

"… Don't do that again.", he brought out, accusingly, "I had a heart attack when I saw you falling."

"Well, same here!", she complained and lightly slapped his shoulder, pouting.

They glared at each other for a bit before Alya leant down and softly kissed him, nuzzling her nose against his. He lovingly responded, his arms locking tightly around her waist as he pulled her closer against him.

"… Thanks for catching me…", she mumbled, then she got up and into a sitting position on his lap, allowing him to sit up as well.

"Finally you two are done.", Trixx remarked and Alya rolled her eyes, softly scratching the little Kwami between his ears.

"Oh, stop complaining. I had to thank him. Now, you ready to go again? We still got some work to do."

In that moment, the snow and ice around them suddenly vanished and a swarm of cleansing ladybugs fixed everything around them. Carapace chuckled and let the shield disappear, making them both fall to the ground.

"Oompf!", he huffed, but then he grinned and kissed Alya's cheek, "In that case, go home and watch a movie?"

"I'm in.", she grinned.
