Chapter 2
Adrien
I open my eyes and squint from the sunlight pouring in from the tall window that stretches across my room. I sit up and hear Plagg grumble something that sounds like "let me sleep or give me cheese." I ignore him as I prop myself up on my elbow as I reach over to my phone.
I pick it up and turn it on, going straight to the Ladyblog. Checking for any news, I screech in surprise when I see that an akuma attacked the park earlier this morning, she posted a picture of a guy in a lab coat with a purple bag slung over his shoulder and some safety goggles on his head no look at the comment and I read "Akuma at the park! Ladybug has just arrived and Chat Noir is nowhere to be found." -posted 9:25. I look up to the top of my screen and see that it is 10:03 AM.
"Plagg!" I say, shaking the complaining Kwami awake. "What?!" The annoyed Kwami says, flying up into the air, "why do you always wake me early on the weekends? I need sleep too ya know!" I shake my head, "Plagg, an akuma attacked this morning and I slept through it! Ladybug needed me and I was sleeping!" I stand up.
"Plagg!" I say. he knows what I'm going to say next, "isn't it a little late now? The Kwami tries to say, but I ignore him again. "Claws out!" I yell and watch the little Kwami protest as he swirls into my ring.
I stare in horror at the scene below me. I see people scattered along the ground laying unconscious. I drop down to one and put my fingers to their neck. "Still breathing." I sigh in relief.
I look around wondering where ladybug is. I'm About to call her when I see something red with black dots on the ground 30 or so feet away. I run over to it and pick up the object.
Before I figure out what it is I hear something hit the ground. I look down and see Alya's phone. "What is this doing here?" I mumble to myself as I pick up Alya's phone.
I look at the screen and see that is is opened to the camera app and a little notification saying that the phone was unable to record because of lack of space.
I smile and quickly open up the video seeing that the phone was at 21% battery. I look at the video and see ladybugs face.
I sit down on the ground and press the play button. I watch in horror as the scene unfolds. And I feel my heart shatter when Ladybug screams for my help in the video not knowing that I was sleeping.
I kick myself in my mind and I feel my eyes burn as I watch this guy blow a green powder in her face and she collapses to the ground. I watch him pick her up and throw her over his shoulder.
I clench my free hand into a fist and ignore the pain of my claws digging into my palm as I see the butterfly symbol appear in front of the scientists face and I watch him grin.
"I better get her there and tie her up to use as bait for her little kitty cat before he shows up." He replies and I watch him walk out of sight of the camera and I pause the video.
I know that if ladybug got hurt because I wasn't there, I would never forgive myself. I put the phone in one of the pockets in my suit and zip it up.
I remember the object I was looking at before I noticed the phone and went to pick it up. I look at it and realize that it is a gas mask.
I start wondering about the five minutes with our special power thing but quickly dismissed it as I remember Plagg telling me once that I can summon my special power whenever I wanted and it wouldn't matter, but once I used it I only had five minutes, and I'm guessing that applies for ladybug too.
I stand up and look around at all the sleeping bodies, and I realize what I have to do.
"Seriously?" I groan as I drag the last of the dozing people into the center of the park, which happened to be Alya. I set her down gently next to all of the other people who lay in the center of the park. I stand back and look at them.
"I'm coming M'lady." I say as I push my staff into the ground under me and vault up into the sky.
I land on a roof after fleeing the park and shrink my baton to it's original size and press the law button on it. The cell phone part of it shoots up and I go to the maps section and look for a ladybug on the screen.
After looking through the map I see the red glow and click on it. I read the unfamiliar address and shrug.
I land softly on the tin roof or the abandoned factory. "Definitely has the kidnapping vibe going on." I mutter as I look for an open window.
After finding an entrance point I slip through the open window and land on the metal flooring of the second floor.
I look around and see the vast open room and as I go to take a step I notice the ground is spotted with giant holes, "did a war go on in here?" I ask myself.
I go to a hole in the center on the room and look at the area below, there are two guards standing there, backs to each other. I chuckle to myself, "too easy."
I quietly drop down and take out the first guard and quietly pounce on the second, in case there are more. I look over and see a faint red glow behind a stack of boxes.
"Ladybug?" I whisper as I round the corner, I look down and see Ladybug's yo-yo sitting on the ground. I pick it up and look at it.
"They knew I would track her." I mumble to myself. I stand up and I'm about to leave when my cat ears swivel to the right and I turn in time to see a guy running at me with his eyes closed, I dodge the attack but drop the yo-yo along the way. As he runs passed I grab his arm and I quickly pin him to the ground.
I turn his face towards me and I see that his eyes are still closed. "What the?" I say when I realize I know this guy. "You were from the park!" I exclaim, I grab the yo-yo and stand up, and quickly run out of the building. I use my staff and with one hand, vault up onto the roof, carrying the yo-yo with my other hand
I quickly race along the tops of the buildings, heading towards the park.
I land on my usual lamppost and look below. My pile of sleepers are gone.
"Did he seriously have to make an army?" I say, shaking my head. I sit there, wondering what ladybug would do if we were switched.
"We wouldn't be switched though because she would never sleep through an Akuma!" I mutter to myself again, feeling guilt wash over me once again.
I swing through an open window to my room and quickly detransform. I watch Plagg shoot out.
"Give me cheese" Plagg says instantly. "Hold on a second Plagg." I say rolling my eyes as I sit down in front of my desk and watch all the screens turn on.
I start looking through the Ladyblog again for any clues. "Adrien…" Plagg says again, "I want cheese."
I ignore the Kwami and go to google, even though the information isn't always correct, it's my only hope.
I feel Plagg poking my head as I wave my hand, shooing him away. I watch him fly in between me and the monitors and cross his arms. "Give me cheese or give me death!" The mini- God screeches.
I sigh and stand up and walk across the room and open a drawer and pull out a little block of Camembert and chuck at at the floating cat and laugh when he catches it and he flies back from the impact.
I sit back down at my desk as I hear Plagg fly over and sit on my bed to enjoy his cheese
I look back at the Google page and go to the news website. I pull open the "recent news" section and am surprised to find that a ransom note had been found, I scroll down to the picture below and find a picture of a little envelope titled "Chat Noir"
I minimize the tab and walk over to my bed. "Plagg we are heading to the police station." I tell the little cat as he munches on his smelly snack. "Oh no you don't!" The Kwami says as he holds the cheese to his chest protectively.
"I'm not done!" The small God says as he tries to stuff his face while he can, knowing I'm not going to care.
I shake my head, "you can finish it later, Plagg, Claws out!" The Kawmi grumbles as he flies into my ring. I look down at the black leather and reach behind my back to grab my baton.
"I'm coming Ladybug." I say as I vault out of my window into the sky.
